Indicators and strategies
SHYY TFC Candles_Confirmation X 4TF)SHYY Real-Time FTC Confirmation is a multi-timeframe trend alignment tool designed to provide real-time confirmation of market direction across up to four configurable timeframes. Unlike traditional tools that rely on closed candles, this version uses in-progress bars to detect live momentum, allowing traders to respond as trends are forming rather than after they are confirmed.
This script checks the current price direction on each selected timeframe by comparing the current close to the open of the same candle. A timeframe is considered bullish if the close is above the open, bearish if below, and neutral if equal. If all enabled timeframes are aligned in the same direction, the current chart candle is colored accordingly.
White candles indicate that all selected timeframes are currently bullish. Yellow candles indicate that all selected timeframes are currently bearish. If the timeframes are not fully aligned, the candle remains uncolored.
Each of the four timeframes can be configured individually in the settings panel. Users can also enable or disable each timeframe independently using checkboxes, allowing flexibility in how the confirmation logic is applied.
The script uses a single request.security() call per timeframe with lookahead enabled, so that the information shown reflects the live status of each timeframe’s bar, not just completed ones. This makes it suitable for real-time decision-making and strategy filtering.
This tool can assist scalpers, trend followers, and breakout traders in aligning trades with broader market direction. It can be used as a standalone trend filter or in conjunction with other indicators and strategies.
No external dependencies or overlays are required.
This is an original script, built to provide real-time, multi-timeframe confirmation using a clean and efficient approach.
SOT & SA Detector ProSOT & SA Detector Pro- Advanced Reversal Pattern Recognition
OVERVIEW
The SOT & SA Detector is an educational indicator designed to identify potential market reversal points through systematic analysis of candlestick patterns, volume confirmation, and price wave structures. SOT (Shorting of Thrust) signals suggest potential bearish reversals after upward price movements, while SA (Selling Accumulation) signals indicate possible bullish reversals following downward trends. This tool helps traders recognize key market transition points by combining multiple technical criteria for enhanced signal reliability.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
Technical Methodology
The indicator employs a multi-factor analysis approach that evaluates:
Wave Structure Analysis: Identifies minimum 2-bar directional waves (upward for SOT, downward for SA)
Price Delta Validation: Ensures closing price changes remain within specified percentage thresholds (default 0.3%) best 0.1.
Candlestick Tail Analysis: Measures rejection wicks using configurable tail multipliers
Volume Confirmation: Requires increased volume compared to previous periods
Pattern Confirmation: Validates signals through subsequent price action
Signal Generation Process
Pattern Recognition: Scans for qualifying candlestick formations with appropriate tail characteristics
Volume Verification: Confirms patterns with volume expansion using adjustable multiplier
Price Confirmation: Validates signals when price breaks and closes beyond pattern extremes
Signal Display: Places labeled markers and draws horizontal reference levels
Mathematical Foundation
Delta calculation: math.abs(close - close ) / close <= deltaPercent / 100
Tail analysis: (high - close ) >= tailMultiplier * (close - low ) for SOT
Volume filter: volume >= volume * volumeFactor
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
Dual Pattern Recognition: Identifies both bullish (SA) and bearish (SOT) reversal candidates
Volume Integration: Incorporates volume analysis for enhanced signal validation
Customizable Parameters: Adjustable wave length, delta percentage, tail multiplier, and volume factor
Visual Clarity: Color-coded bar highlighting, labeled signals, and horizontal reference levels
Time-Based Filtering: Configurable analysis period to focus on recent market activity
Non-Repainting Signals: Confirmed signals remain stable and do not change with new price data
Alert System: Built-in notifications for both initial signals and subsequent confirmations
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE
Signal Interpretation
Red SOT Labels: Appear above potential bearish reversal candles with downward-pointing markers
Green SA Labels: Display below potential bullish reversal candles with upward-pointing markers
Horizontal Lines: Extend from signal levels to provide ongoing reference points
Bar Coloring: Highlights qualifying pattern candles for visual emphasis
Trading Application
This indicator serves as an educational tool for pattern recognition and should be used in conjunction with additional analysis methods. Consider SOT signals as potential areas of selling pressure following upward moves, while SA signals may indicate buying interest after downward price action.
Best Practices
Combine with trend analysis and support/resistance levels
Consider overall market context and timeframe alignment
Use proper risk management techniques
Validate signals with additional technical indicators

Adaptive Quadratic Kernel EnvelopeThis study draws a fair-value curve from a quadratic-weighted (Nadaraya-Watson) regression. Alpha sets how sharply weights decay inside the look-back window, so you trade lag against smoothness with one slider. Band half-width is ATRslow times a bounded fast/slow ATR ratio, giving an instant response to regime shifts without overshooting on spikes. Work in log space when an instrument grows exponentially, equal percentage moves then map to equal vertical steps. NearBase and FarBase define a progression of adaptive thresholds, useful for sizing exits or calibrating mean-reversion logic. Non-repaint mode keeps one-bar delay for clean back-tests, predictive mode shows the zero-lag curve for live decisions.
Key points
- Quadratic weights cut phase error versus Gaussian or SMA-based envelopes.
- Dual-ATR scaling updates width on the next bar, no residual lag.
- Log option preserves envelope symmetry across multi-decade data.
- Alpha provides direct control of curvature versus noise.
- Built-in alerts trigger on the first adaptive threshold, ready for automation.
Typical uses
Trend bias from the slope of the curve.
Entry timing when price pierces an inner threshold and momentum stalls.
Breakout confirmation when closes hold beyond outer thresholds while volatility expands.
Stops and targets anchored to chosen thresholds, automatically matching current noise.
Volume VA with POC Based Percent DeviationsThis is a slightly different take on my previous version that plotted fibonacci retracement levels based on the POC to value area high/low.
This indicator is also based on the volume value area that plots developing POC, VAH, and VAL as well as historical levels. However, instead of plotting fib levels, this script automatically projects percentage deviation levels from the current POC. This can help identify potential overextensions, target areas, or mean-reversion setups.
Knowing where price is and the change in price relative to areas of interest can help identify true value and market imbalances. Hence the name VALUE AREA :)
The percent deviation levels are dynamically plotted in relation to the developing POC. As POC shifts so do the % levels.
Gradient Value Area Fill: Instead of a static color, the Value Area is filled with a dynamic gradient. The adjustable color and transparency shift is based on the current price's distance from the POC, giving you an intuitive feel for where price is relative to the POC.

ATR % Line from Day LowHow can you make sure that you're not buying a stock that is too extended?
By limiting your buys to within a certain percentage of either the low-of-the-day (LoD) if you're going long, or to the high-of-the-day (HoD) if you're shorting a stock. This script will help you do just that.
Limiting stock purchases to within a certain percentage of the Average True Range (ATR) from the day's low or high is a risk management technique that offers several key benefits:
Risk Control and Position Sizing
By using ATR as a boundary, you're essentially creating a volatility-adjusted buffer. Since ATR measures recent price volatility, this approach prevents you from buying into stocks that have already moved significantly beyond their normal trading range. This helps avoid entering positions when the stock might be overextended and due for a pullback.
Improved Entry Timing
This strategy encourages patience and discipline. Rather than chasing a stock that's already run up substantially from its low, you wait for better entry points. For example, if you set a limit of 50% of ATR from the day's low, you're only buying when the stock hasn't moved more than half its typical daily range from the bottom.
Volatility Awareness
ATR naturally adjusts for each stock's individual volatility characteristics. A high-volatility stock might have an ATR of $2, while a low-volatility stock might have an ATR of $0.50. This approach scales your entry criteria appropriately for each security rather than using arbitrary dollar amounts.
Reduced Emotional Trading
Having a systematic rule removes the temptation to chase momentum or buy at poor technical levels. It forces you to wait for the stock to come back to more reasonable levels relative to its recent trading behavior.
Better Risk-Reward Ratios
By entering closer to the day's low (within your ATR percentage), you're typically getting a better risk-reward setup. Your stop loss (often placed below the day's low) will be tighter, while your potential upside remains intact.
This approach works particularly well for swing traders and those looking to enter positions on pullbacks or during consolidation periods rather than breakout scenarios.
To save valuable real estate on your chart, there's also an option that can give you a compact version of this indicator which will show only the "Current Day's Low/High" and "Target Price". "Target Price" being the price at which your max buy limit is based on the % ATR you choose in settings.
Trend TraderDescription and Usage of the "Trend Trader" Indicator
The "Trend Trader" indicator, created by Gerardo Mercado as a legacy project, is a versatile trading tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals across various instruments. While it provides predefined settings for popular instruments like US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, it can be seamlessly adapted to any market, including forex pairs like EUR/USD. The indicator combines moving averages, time-based filters, and MACD confirmation to enhance decision-making for traders.
How It Works
Custom Moving Averages (MAs):
The indicator uses two moving averages:
Short MA: A faster-moving average (default: 10 periods).
Long MA: A slower-moving average (default: 100 periods).
Buy signals are generated when the Short MA crosses above the Long MA.
Sell signals are triggered when the Short MA crosses below the Long MA.
Time-Based Signals:
The user can define specific trading session times (start and end in UTC) to focus on high-activity periods for their chosen market.
Signals and background coloring are only active during the allowed session times.
MACD Confirmation:
A MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation on a 15-minute timeframe ensures stronger confirmation for signals.
Buy signals require the MACD line to be above the signal line.
Sell signals require the MACD line to be at or below the signal line.
Target Levels:
Predefined profit targets are dynamically set based on the selected trading instrument.
While it includes settings for US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, the target levels can be adjusted to fit the volatility and structure of any asset, including forex pairs like EUR/USD.
Target 1 and Target 2 levels display when these thresholds are met after an entry signal.
Adaptability to Any Market:
Although predefined options are included for specific instruments, the indicator's moving averages, time settings, and MACD logic are applicable to any tradable asset, making it suitable for forex, commodities, indices, and more.
Visual Alerts:
Labels appear on the chart to highlight "BUY" and "SELL" signals at crossover points.
Additional labels indicate when price movements reach the predefined target levels.
Bar and background coloring visually represent active signals and MACD alignment.
Purpose
The indicator aims to simplify trend-following and momentum-based trading strategies. By integrating moving averages, MACD, customizable time sessions, and dynamic targets, it offers clear entry and exit points while being adaptable to the needs of individual traders across diverse markets.
How to Use
Setup:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Configure the moving average periods, trading session times, and target levels according to your preferences.
Select the instrument for predefined target settings or customize them to fit the asset you’re trading (e.g., EUR/USD or other forex pairs).
Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: The Short MA crosses above the Long MA, MACD confirms the upward trend, and the session is active.
Sell Signal: The Short MA crosses below the Long MA, MACD confirms the downward trend, and the session is active.
Adapt for Any Instrument:
Adjust the predefined target levels to match the volatility and trading style for your chosen asset.
For forex pairs like EUR/USD, consider typical pip movements to set appropriate profit targets.
Targets:
Use the provided target labels (e.g., 50 or 100 points) or customize them to reflect realistic profit goals based on the asset’s volatility.
Visual Aids:
Pay attention to the background color:
Greenish: Indicates a bullish trend during the allowed session.
Redish: Indicates a bearish trend during the allowed session.
Use the "BUY" and "SELL" labels for actionable insights.
This indicator is a flexible and powerful tool, suitable for traders across all markets. Its adaptability ensures that it can enhance your strategy, whether you’re trading forex, commodities, indices, or other assets. By offering actionable alerts and customizable settings, the "Trend Trader" serves as a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. FX:EURUSD

X-Day Capital Efficiency ScoreThis indicator helps identify the Most Profitable Movers for Your fixed Capital (ie, which assets offer the best average intraday profit potential for a fixed capital).
Unlike traditional volatility indicators (like ATR or % change), this script calculates how much real dollar profit you could have made each day over a custom lookback period — assuming you deployed your full capital into that ticker daily.
How it works:
Calculates the daily intraday range (high − low)
Filters for clean candles (where body > 60% of the candle range)
Assumes you invested the full amount of capital ($100K set as default) on each valid day
Computes an average daily profit score based on price action over the selected period (default set to 20 days)
Plots the score in dollars — higher = more efficient use of capital
Why It’s Useful:
Compare tickers based on real dollar return potential — not just % volatility
Spot low-priced, high-volatility stocks that are better suited for intraday or momentum trading
Inputs:
Capital ($): Amount you're hypothetically deploying (e.g., 100,000)
Look Back Period: Number of past days to average over (e.g., 20)
Haven Average Daily RangeOverview
This indicator is an enhanced version of the traditional ADR tool that adapts to intraday price movements. Unlike static ADR levels, this indicator dynamically adjusts its range boundaries based on real-time price action while maintaining the original ADR calculation framework.
Key Features
ADR calculation based on multiple periods (5, 10, and 20 days)
ADR levels displayed with automatic style changes upon range reach
Customizable display settings (color, line style)
Price labels for better visualization
The indicator helps traders assess the instrument's volatility, identify potential reversal zones, and plan daily trading targets.
Suitable for all timeframes up to D1 and any trading instrument.
How It Works
Session Start (UTC+0): Calculates ADR based on historical data and sets initial High/Low levels
Dynamic Phase: Monitors price action and adjusts the opposite boundary (ADR Low or High) when new extremes are reached.
When price creates new Day high price above the opening price, the ADR Low level moves upward proportionally.
When price creates new Day low price below the opening price, the ADR High level moves downward proportionally.
Completion Phase: Stops adjustments and highlights breach when price reaches either boundary
Trading Application
Entry and Exit Signals
The ADR boundaries serve as key decision points for trade execution. When price approaches the upper ADR boundary, it often signals a potential selling zone, particularly when confluence exists with other overbought indicators such as RSI divergence or resistance levels. Conversely, price reaching the lower ADR boundary frequently indicates potential buying opportunities, especially when supported by oversold conditions or support confluences.
Trend Continuation Assessment
One of the most valuable applications is gauging the probability of continued directional movement. When the current session's price action has not yet reached either ADR boundary, statistical probability favors trend continuation in the established direction. This information helps traders stay with profitable positions longer rather than exiting prematurely.
Reversal and Consolidation Zones
The visual color change to orange when ADR boundaries are reached provides immediate feedback that the normal daily range has been exhausted. At this point, the probability of trend reversal or sideways consolidation increases significantly. This signal helps traders prepare for potential position adjustments or new counter-trend opportunities.
GCM Price Based ColorIndicator Name:
GCM Price Based Color Indicator
Detailed Description:
The GCM Price Based Color Indicator is a unique tool designed to help traders spot potential "pump" events in the market. Unlike traditional Volume Rate of Change (VROC) indicators, this script is conditional: it calculates a VROC value only when both the average volume and the price are increasing. This focus helps filter out volume surges that don't accompany immediate price appreciation, highlighting more relevant "pump" signals.
Key Features & Calculation Logic:
Conditional Volume Rate of Change (VROC):
It first calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume over a user-defined length (lookback period).
It then checks two conditions:
Is the current SMA volume greater than the previous bar's SMA volume (i.e., volumeIncreasing)?
Is the current close price greater than the previous bar's close price (i.e., valueIncreasing)?
Only if both volume Increasing AND value Increasing are true, a VROC value is calculated as (current _ MA _ volume - previous _ MA _ volume) * (100 / previous _ MA _ volume). Otherwise, the VROC for that bar is 0.
Historical Normalization:
The raw VROC value is then normalized against its own historical maximum value observed since the indicator was applied. This scaling brings all VROC values into a common 0-100 range.
Why is this important? Normalization makes the indicator's readings comparable across different assets (e.g., high-volume vs. low-volume stocks/cryptos) and different timeframes, making it easier to interpret the strength of a "pump" relative to its own past.
Dynamic Plot Color (Price-Based):
The plot line's color itself provides an immediate visual cue about the current bar's price action:
Green: close is greater than close (price is up for the current bar).
Red: close is less than close (price is down for the current bar).
Grey: close is equal to close (price is flat for the current bar).
Important Note: The plot color reflects the price movement of the current bar, not the magnitude of the VROC Normalized value itself. This means you can have a high vrocNormalized value (indicating a strong conditional volume surge) but a red plot color if the very next bar's price closes lower, providing a multi-faceted view.
Thresholds & Alerts:
Two horizontal lines (small Pump Threshold and big Pump Threshold) are plotted to visually mark significant levels of normalized pump strength.
Customizable alerts can be set up to notify you when VROC Normalized reaches or exceeds these thresholds, helping you catch potential pump events in real-time.
How to Use It:
Identify Potential Pumps: Look for upward spikes in the VROC Normalized line. Higher spikes indicate stronger pump signals (i.e., a larger increase in average volume coinciding with an increasing price).
Monitor Thresholds: Pay attention when the VROC Normalized line crosses above your small Pump Threshold or big Pump Threshold. These are configurable levels to suit different assets and trading styles.
Observe Plot Color: The line color provides crucial context. A high VROC Normalized (strong pump signal) with a green line indicates current price momentum is still positive. If VROC Normalized is high but the line turns red, it might suggest the initial pump is losing steam or experiencing a pullback.
Combine with Other Tools: This indicator is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., support/resistance, trend lines, other momentum indicators) for confirmation and a more holistic trading strategy.
Indicator Inputs:
Lookback period (1 - 4999) (default: 420): This length determines the period for the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume. A higher value will smooth the volume average more, reacting slower, while a lower value will make it more reactive. Adjust based on the timeframe and asset volatility.
Big Pump Threshold (0.01 - 99.99) (default: 10.0): The normalized VROC Normalized level that signifies a "Big Pump." When VROC Normalized reaches or exceeds this level, an alert can be triggered.
Small Pump Threshold (0.01 - 99.99) (default: 0.5): The normalized VROC Normalized level that signifies a "Small Pump." This is a lower threshold for earlier or less significant pump activity.
Alerts:
Small Pump: Triggers when VROC Normalized crosses above or equals the small Pump Threshold.
Big Pump: Triggers when VROC Normalized crosses above or equals the big Pump Threshold.
Best Practices & Considerations:
Timeframes: The indicator can be used on various timeframes, but its effectiveness may vary. Experiment to find what works best for your chosen asset and trading style.
Volatility: Highly volatile assets might require different threshold settings compared to less volatile ones.
Lag: Due to the use of a Simple Moving Average (SMA) for volume, there will be some inherent lag in the calculation.
Normalization Start: The historic Max for normalization starts with a default value of 10.0. For the very first bars, or if there hasn't been a significant VROC yet, the VROC Normalized might behave differently until a true historical maximum VROC establishes itself.
Not Financial Advice: This indicator is a tool for analysis and does not constitute financial advice. Always perform your own research and manage your risk.
Linear Regression Forecast (ADX Adaptive)Linear Regression Forecast (ADX Adaptive)
This indicator is a dynamic price projection tool that combines multiple linear regression forecasts into a single, adaptive forecast curve. By integrating trend strength via the ADX and directional bias, it aims to visualize how price might evolve in different market environments—from strong trends to mean-reverting conditions.
Core Concept:
This tool builds forward price projections based on a blend of linear regression models with varying lookback lengths (from 2 up to a user-defined max). It then adjusts those projections using two key mechanisms:
ADX-Weighted Forecast Blending
In trending conditions (high ADX), the model follows the raw forecast direction. In ranging markets (low ADX), the forecast flips or reverts, biasing toward mean-reversion. A logistic transformation of directional bias, controlled by a steepness parameter, determines how aggressively this blending reacts to price behavior.
Volatility Scaling
The forecast’s magnitude is scaled based on ADX and directional conviction. When trends are unclear (low ADX or neutral bias), the projection range expands to reflect greater uncertainty and volatility.
How It Works:
Regression Curve Generation
For each regression length from 2 to maxLength, a forward projection is calculated using least-squares linear regression on the selected price source. These forecasts are extrapolated into the future.
Directional Bias Calculation
The forecasted points are analyzed to determine a normalized bias value in the range -1 to +1, where +1 means strongly bullish, -1 means strongly bearish, and 0 means neutral.
Logistic Bias Transformation
The raw bias is passed through a logistic sigmoid function, with a user-defined steepness. This creates a probability-like weight that favors either following or reversing the forecast depending on market context.
ADX-Based Weighting
ADX determines the weighting between trend-following and mean-reversion modes. Below ADX 20, the model favors mean-reversion. Above 25, it favors trend-following. Between 20 and 25, it linearly blends the two.
Blended Forecast Curve
Each forecast point is blended between trend-following and mean-reverting values, scaled for volatility.
What You See:
Forecast Lines: Projected future price paths drawn in green or red depending on direction.
Bias Plot: A separate plot showing post-blend directional bias as a percentage, where +100 is strongly bullish and -100 is strongly bearish.
Neutral Line: A dashed horizontal line at 0 percent bias to indicate neutrality.
User Inputs:
-Max Regression Length
-Price Source
-Line Width
-Bias Steepness
-ADX Length and Smoothing
Use Cases:
Visualize expected price direction under different trend conditions
Adjust trading behavior depending on trending vs ranging markets
Combine with other tools for deeper analysis
Important Notes:
This indicator is for visualization and analysis only. It does not provide buy or sell signals and should not be used in isolation. It makes assumptions based on historical price action and should be interpreted with market context.
Ultra VolumeVisualizes volume intensity using dynamic color gradients and percentile thresholds. Includes optional SMA, bar coloring, and adaptive liquidity boxes to highlight high- and low-volume zones in real time.
Introduction
The Ultra Volume indicator enhances volume analysis by categorizing volume bars into percentile-based intensity levels. It uses color-coded gradients to quickly identify periods of unusually high or low activity. The script also includes an optional simple moving average (SMA), bar coloring, and visual box overlays to highlight zones of significant liquidity shifts.
Detailed Description
.........
Volume Classification
Volume is segmented into five tiers: Extra High, High, Medium, Normal, and Low, using percentile ranks calculated over a dynamically adjusted historical window. This segmentation adapts based on the chart's timeframe – using 100 bars for daily and 1440/minutes for intraday – allowing for consistent behavior across resolutions.
.....
Color Gradients
Each volume bar is colored based on its percentile category, smoothly transitioning between thresholds for visual clarity. This makes it easy to spot volume spikes or droughts relative to recent history.
.....
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
An optional SMA can be plotted on top of the volume bars for trend comparison and baseline reference. Its length and color are fully customizable.
.....
Bar Coloring
You can optionally color the chart's candlesticks to reflect the same volume intensity as the histogram bars, reinforcing visual cues across the chart.
.....
Liquidity Boxes
Two adaptive box systems highlight zones of increased or decreased liquidity:
High Liquidity Boxes expand upward when price exceeds the previous box’s top.
Low Liquidity Boxes expand downward when price breaks the previous box’s bottom.
These boxes persist and auto-adjust over time unless reset, helping traders spot key zones of volume-driven price action.
.....
Box Indexing
A configurable index shift determines how far back in the chart the boxes originate. Setting this to 501 makes them "stick" to the candle where they were first created.
.....
Data Handling
A safety check ensures the script throws an error if volume data is unavailable (e.g., for some crypto or CFD symbols).

RSI of RSI Deviation (RoRD)RSI of RSI Deviation (RoRD) - Advanced Momentum Acceleration Analysis
What is RSI of RSI Deviation (RoRD)?
RSI of RSI Deviation (RoRD) is a insightful momentum indicator that transcends traditional oscillator analysis by measuring the acceleration of momentum through sophisticated mathematical layering. By calculating RSI on RSI itself (RSI²) and applying advanced statistical deviation analysis with T3 smoothing, RoRD reveals hidden market dynamics that single-layer indicators miss entirely.
This isn't just another RSI variant—it's a complete reimagining of how we measure and visualize momentum dynamics. Where traditional RSI shows momentum, RoRD shows momentum's rate of change . Where others show static overbought/oversold levels, RoRD reveals statistically significant deviations unique to each market's character.
Theoretical Foundation - The Mathematics of Momentum Acceleration
1. RSI² (RSI of RSI) - The Core Innovation
Traditional RSI measures price momentum. RoRD goes deeper:
Primary RSI (RSI₁) : Standard RSI calculation on price
Secondary RSI (RSI²) : RSI calculated on RSI₁ values
This creates a "momentum of momentum" indicator that leads price action
Mathematical Expression:
RSI₁ = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS₁))
RSI² = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS₂))
Where RS₂ = Average Gain of RSI₁ / Average Loss of RSI₁
2. T3 Smoothing - Lag-Free Response
The T3 Moving Average, developed by Tim Tillson, provides:
Superior smoothing with minimal lag
Adaptive response through volume factor (vFactor)
Noise reduction while preserving signal integrity
T3 Formula:
T3 = c1×e6 + c2×e5 + c3×e4 + c4×e3
Where e1...e6 are cascaded EMAs and c1...c4 are volume-factor-based coefficients
3. Statistical Z-Score Deviation
RoRD employs dual-layer Z-score normalization :
Initial Z-Score : (RSI² - SMA) / StDev
Final Z-Score : Z-score of the Z-score for refined extremity detection
This identifies statistically rare events relative to recent market behavior
4. Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Compares current timeframe Z-score with higher timeframe (HTF)
Provides directional confirmation across time horizons
Filters false signals through timeframe alignment
Why RoRD is Different & More Sophisticated
Beyond Traditional Indicators:
Acceleration vs. Velocity : While RSI measures momentum (velocity), RoRD measures momentum's rate of change (acceleration)
Adaptive Thresholds : Z-score analysis adapts to market conditions rather than using fixed 70/30 levels
Statistical Significance : Signals are based on mathematical rarity, not arbitrary levels
Leading Indicator : RSI² often turns before price, providing earlier signals
Reduced Whipsaws : T3 smoothing eliminates noise while maintaining responsiveness
Unique Signal Generation:
Quantum Orbs : Multi-layered visual signals for statistically extreme events
Divergence Detection : Automated identification of price/momentum divergences
Regime Backgrounds : Visual market state classification (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
Particle Effects : Dynamic visualization of momentum energy

Adaptive Signal Oscillator (ASO)📘 Adaptive Signal Oscillator (ASO)
A fully dynamic, self-calibrating oscillator that adapts to any asset or timeframe by optimizing for real-time signal stability and volatility structure — without relying on static parameters or hardcoded thresholds.
🔍 Overview
The Adaptive Signal Oscillator (ASO) is a next-generation technical analysis tool designed to provide context-aware long/short signals across crypto, equities, or forex markets. Unlike traditional oscillators (RSI, Stochastics, MACD), ASO requires no manual tuning of lookback periods or overbought/oversold zones — it self-optimizes based on current market behavior.
🧠 How It Works
✅ 1. Dynamic Lookback Optimization
ASO evaluates a range of lookback lengths between user-defined minLen and maxLen. For each length, it calculates the standard deviation of returns and finds the one with the least volatility change (i.e., the most stable structure). This length is dynamically assigned as bestLen, recalculated on every bar.
✅ 2. Multi-Layer Signal Composition
Four independent signal layers are computed using bestLen:
RSI Layer: Measures relative price strength via a custom dynamic RSI.
Z-Score Layer: Standardized deviation of price from its mean.
Volatility Layer: Standard deviation of log or percent returns.
Price Position Layer: Current price percentile within the lookback window.
Each of these layers is transformed into a percentile score scaled to the range .
✅ 3. Volatility-Based Weighting
The standard deviation (volatility) of each signal layer is computed. Less volatile layers are weighted more heavily, ensuring the final composite signal prioritizes stable, consistent inputs.
Weights are normalized and combined to form a composite score, representing a dynamically blended, noise-weighted signal across the four layers.
✅ 4. Optional Adaptive Smoothing
A boolean toggle lets users apply smoothing to the final score. The smoothing window scales proportionally to bestLen, preserving adaptiveness even during trend transitions.
✅ 5. Percentile-Based Thresholding
Rather than using arbitrary fixed thresholds, ASO converts the composite score into a ranked percentile. Long/short signals are then generated based on user-defined percentile bands, adapting naturally to each asset’s behavior.
📈 Interpreting ASO
Score > Threshold → Strong long signal (highlighted in aqua).
Score < Threshold → Strong short signal (highlighted in fuchsia).
Crossing h_thresh (e.g., 0) → Neutral-to-bias change; useful for early trend cues.
The background and label update in real time to reflect the current regime and bestLen.
⚙️ Inputs
minLen, maxLen, step: Define the search range for optimal lookback length.
retMethod: Choose between log or percent return calculations.
threshHigh, threshLow: Define signal zones using percentiles.
smooth: Enable dynamic score smoothing.
h_thresh: Midline crossover zone for directional context.

LTHB & HTLB Zones with AlertsIn price action trading, the Lowest Tick of the Highest Bar (LTHB) and the Highest Tick of the Lowest Bar (HTLB) are important concepts for support/resistance identification, trend exhaustion, and reversal confirmation. Here's what they mean and why they matter:
🔹 Definitions
1. Lowest Tick of the Highest Bar (LTHB):
The lowest price (tick) of the bar (candlestick) with the highest high in a recent price swing.
Significance: It marks the support inside an upward swing. If price breaks below this, it often indicates loss of upward momentum or reversal.
2. Highest Tick of the Lowest Bar (HTLB):
The highest price of the bar with the lowest low in a swing.
Significance: It acts as a resistance inside a downward swing. If price moves above this, it can signal a bullish reversal.
🔸 Why Are They Significant?
Concept LTHB HTLB
Trend Reversal - Break below LTHB → possible bearish reversal Break above HTLB → possible bullish reversal
Swing Confirmation -Holding above LTHB → continuation of uptrend Holding below HTLB → continuation of downtrend
Trap Detection - Stop hunts often occur just below LTHB Stop hunts often occur just above HTLB
Risk Management -Acts as logical stop-loss in long trades Acts as logical stop-loss in short trades
🔸 Uses in Strategy
1. Breakout Traders use these levels as entry triggers.
2. Reversal Traders look for price failing to hold these levels for early reversal signs.
3. Structure-Based Traders use them to confirm higher highs/lower lows.
4. Stop Placement: Tight stops just beyond LTHB/HTLB help manage risk in swing trades.
🔔 How to Set Alerts in TradingView:
Add the script to your chart.
Open the "⚠️ Alerts" tab.
Click "Create Alert".
In the "Condition" dropdown, select one of:
Enter LTHB Zone
Exit LTHB Zone
Enter HTLB Zone
Exit HTLB Zone
Set desired alert frequency (e.g., once per bar or once).
Click Create.

Market Sell-Off GaugeOVERVIEW
The Market Sell‑Off Gauge identifies high‑conviction, risk‑off entry opportunities by detecting broad market sell‑off behavior and rising stablecoin dominance, then confirming risk‑off sentiment via NDX weakness, VIX spikes, and elevated volume. It uses fuzzy logic and sigmoid scaling to convert raw signals into a smooth, bounded metric.
FEATURES
Sell‑Off Detection - calculates percentage drops in the primary asset over a user‑defined lookback.
Stablecoin Dominance Surge - tracks combined USDT/USDC dominance rises as a proxy for on‑chain “flight to safety.”
Macro Confirmation
NDX Weakness (NASDAQ‑100)
VIX Spikes (CBOE Volatility Index)
Elevated Volume on declining bars
Fuzzy Logic & Scaling - component values feed into a fuzzy‑logic membership scor and are passed through a sigmoid compressor (–1 to +1). Weighted aggregation derives the final result of the gauge (or metric).
VISUALISATION
Continuous line plot - Smoothed metric (–1 to +1), colored cold‑to‑warm.
Entry circles - Highlighted when all conditions (fuzzy or crisp) are met after the time offset.
Time‑Offset marker - Vertical line/label showing the user‑specified “start” bar.
Component table - Displays real‑time % changes & volume multiples in the lower right of the indicator.
USAGE
Asset drop % - The threshold percent decline to register a sell‑off.
Stables rise % - The threshold percent increase in stablecoin dominance to qualify as a “flight to safety.”
NDX drop % - The threshold percent decline in the NASDAQ‑100 for macro confirmation.
VIX rise % - The threshold percent increase in VIX. Contributes to risk‑off validation.
Volume Multiplier - Defines how many times above SMA volume must rise to confirm conviction.
Lookback Period - Controls the number of bars over which % changes are measured.
Time Offset - Point in time beyond which bars to “fade” historical signals, enables focus on recent data only.
Fuzzy Logic Settings - Enables fuzzy scoring and set membership threshold & sensitivity.
Weights - allows for adjusting the relative importance of each component (Asset, Stables, NDX, VIX, Volume).
Sigmoid Steepness (k) - Controls curve steepness for compression (0.1 = very flat → 5.0 = very sharp S‑curve).
Chart & settings
Best applied on 4H or Daily BTCUSD (or similar) charts to capture meaningful sell‑off events.
Combine with broader trend filters (e.g., moving averages) for trend‑aligned entries.
Adjust Sigmoid Steepness and Membership Sensitivity to fine‑tune signal crispness vs. smoothness. Refer to tooltips.
