Instant Breakout Strategy with RSI & VWAPInstant Breakout Strategy with RSI & VWAP This TradingView strategy (Pine Script v6) trades breakouts using pivot points, with optional filters for volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP. It’s optimized for the 1-second timeframe. Overview The strategy identifies breakouts when price crosses above resistance (pivot highs) or below support (pivot lows). It can use basic pivot breakouts or add filters for stronger signals. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are set using ATR, and signals are shown on the chart. Inputs Left/Right Pivot Bars: Bars to detect pivots (default: 3). Lower values increase sensitivity. Volume Surge Multiplier: Volume threshold vs. 20-period average (default: 1.5). Momentum Threshold: Minimum % price change from bar open (default: 1%). Take-Profit ATR Multiplier: ATR multiplier for take-profit (default: 9.0). Stop-Loss ATR Multiplier: ATR multiplier for stop-loss (default: 1.0). Use Filters: Enable/disable volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP filters (default: off). How It Works 1. Pivot Detection Finds pivot highs (resistance) and lows (support) using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow. Tracks the latest pivot levels. 2. Volume Surge Compares current volume to a 20-period volume average. A surge occurs if volume exceeds the average times the multiplier. 3. Momentum Measures price change from the bar’s open. Bullish: Price rises >1% from open. Bearish: Price falls >1% from open. 4. RSI and VWAP RSI: 3-period RSI. Above 50 is bullish; below 50 is bearish. VWAP: Price above VWAP is bullish; below is bearish. 5. ATR 14-period ATR sets take-profit (close ± atr * 9.0) and stop-loss (close ± atr * 1.0). Trading Rules Breakout Conditions Bullish Breakout: Price crosses above the latest pivot high. With filters: Volume surge, bullish momentum, RSI > 50, price > VWAP. Without filters: Only the crossover is needed. Bearish Breakout: Price crosses below the latest pivot low. With filters: Volume surge, bearish momentum, RSI < 50, price < VWAP. Without filters: Only the crossunder is needed. Entries and Exits Long: Enter on bullish breakout. Set take-profit and stop-loss. Close any short position. Short: Enter on bearish breakout. Set take-profit and stop-loss. Close any long position. Visuals Signals: Green triangles (bullish) below bars, red triangles (bearish) above bars. Pivot Levels: Green line (resistance), red line (support). Indicators: RSI (blue, separate pane), VWAP (purple, on chart). How to Use Apply to a 1-second chart in TradingView for best results. Adjust inputs (e.g., pivot bars, multipliers). Enable filters for stricter signals. Watch for buy/sell triangles and monitor RSI/VWAP. Use ATR-based take-profit/stop-loss for risk management. Notes Best on 1-second timeframe due to fast RSI and responsiveness. Disable filters for more signals (less confirmation). Backtest before live trading to check performance. This strategy uses pivots, volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP for clear breakout trades on the 1-second timeframe.

Regime Radar — Trend vs Volatile [AlphaGroup.Live]⚡ Regime Radar — Trend vs Volatile Markets switch personalities. Some weeks they trend relentlessly. Other times they chop, fake out, and punish breakout traders. This tool tells you — at a glance — whether an asset is in TREND , VOLATILE , or MIXED mode across multiple timeframes. 🔑 How it works The engine scores every timeframe on two dimensions: Trend Score (directional persistence): • Efficiency Ratio (straight vs noisy moves) • Normalized ADX (directional movement strength) • Positive autocorrelation (persistence of returns) Volatile Score (chop / mean reversion): • 1 − Efficiency Ratio (lack of direction) • Frequency of outside bars (indecision candles) • Negative autocorrelation (flip-flop behavior) Then it compares the difference: • TREND if Trend − Volatile > thWeak • VOLATILE if Trend − Volatile < −thWeak • MIXED if the difference is inside Strength comes from how far apart the scores are: • Strong if |diff| ≥ thStrong • Weak if thWeak ≤ |diff| < thStrong • Neutral if |diff| < thWeak 🖼️ What you see • Yellow candles mark outside bars (both high & low broken) → “non-decision” events. • A dashboard table prints your chosen timeframes with verdicts like: 5m VOLATILE Strong 15m VOLATILE Weak 1h TREND Neutral 4h TREND Weak D VOLATILE Neutral W TREND Strong M TREND Strong • Optional Bias column shows the numeric difference (Trend − Volatile). 💡 Why use it • Spot when trend-following systems (crossovers, inside bar breakouts) are favored. • Spot when reversal systems (RSI2, MinMax, Bollinger plays) are favored. • Check regime alignment across intraday, swing, and macro frames. • Avoid trading a TREND system in a VOLATILE regime (and vice versa). ⚡ Want more setups?

Penguin TrendMeasures the volatility regime by comparing the upper Bollinger Band to the upper Keltner Channel and colors bars with a lightweight trend state. Supports SMA/EMA/WMA/RMA/HMA/VWMA/VWAP and a selectable calculation timeframe. Default settings preserve the original look and behavior. Penguin Trend visualizes expansion vs. compression in price action by comparing two classic volatility envelopes. It computes: Diff% = (UpperBB − UpperKC) / UpperKC × 100 * Diff > 0: Bollinger Bands are wider than Keltner Channels -> expansion / momentum regime. * Diff < 0: BB narrower than KC -> compression / squeeze regime. A white “Average Difference” line smooths Diff% (default: SMA(5)) to help spot regime shifts. Trend coloring (kept from original): Bars are colored only when Diff > 0 to emphasize expansion phases. A lightweight trend engine defines four states using a fast/slow MA bias and a short “thrust” MA applied to ohlc4: * Green: Bullish bias and thrust > fast MA (healthy upside thrust). * Red: Bearish bias and thrust < fast MA (healthy downside thrust). * Yellow: Bullish bias but thrust ≤ fast MA (pullback/weakness). * Blue: Bearish bias but thrust ≥ fast MA (bear rally/short squeeze). Note: By default, Blue renders as Yellow to preserve the original visual style. Enable “Use true BLUE color” if you prefer Aqua for Blue. How it works (under the hood): * Bollinger Bands (BB): Basis = selected MA of src (default SMA(20)). Width = StdDev × Mult (default 2.0). * Keltner Channels (KC): Basis = selected MA of src (default SMA(20)). Width = ATR(kcATR) × Mult (defaults 20 and 2.0). * Diff%: Safe division guards against division-by-zero. * MA engine: You can choose SMA / EMA / WMA / RMA / HMA / VWMA / VWAP for BB/KC bases, Diff smoothing, and the trend components (VWAP is session-anchored). * Calculation timeframe: Set “Calculation timeframe” to compute all internals on a chosen TF via request.security() while viewing any chart TF. Inputs (key ones): * Calculation timeframe: Empty = use chart TF; if set (e.g., 60), all internals compute on that TF. * BB: Length, StdDev Mult, MA Type. * KC: Basis Length, ATR Length, Multiplier, MA Type. * Smoothing: Average Length & MA Type for the “Average Difference” line. * Trend Engine: Fast/Slow lengths & MA type; Signal (kept for completeness); Thrust length & MA type (defaults replicate original behavior). * Display: Paint bars only when Diff > 0; optional Zero line; optional true Blue color. How to use: 1. Regime changes: Watch Diff% or Average Diff crossing 0. Above zero favors momentum/continuation setups; below zero suggests compression and potential breakout conditions. 2. State confirmation: Use bar colors to qualify expansion: Green/Red indicate expansion aligned with trend thrust; Yellow/Blue flag weaker/contrarian thrust during expansion. 3. Multi-timeframe analysis: Run calculations on a higher TF (e.g., H1/H4) while trading a lower TF chart to smooth noise. Alerts: * Diff crosses above/below 0. * Average Diff crosses above/below 0. * State changes: GREEN / RED / YELLOW / BLUE. Notes & limitations: * VWAP is session-anchored and best on intraday data. If not applicable on the selected calculation TF, the script automatically falls back to EMA. * Default parameters (SMA(20) for BB/KC, multipliers 2.0, SMA(5) smoothing, trend logic and bar painting) preserve the original appearance. Release notes: v6.0 — Rewritten in Pine v6 with structured inputs and guards. Multi-MA support (SMA/EMA/WMA/RMA/HMA/VWMA/VWAP). Calculation timeframe via request.security() for multi-TF workflows. Safe division; optional zero line; optional true Blue color. Original visuals and behavior preserved by default. License / disclaimer: © waranyu.trkm — MIT License.

Shock Detector: Price Jerk with Std-Dev BandsDetect sudden shocks in market behaviour This indicator measures the jerk of price – the third derivative of price with respect to time (rate of change of acceleration). It highlights sudden accelerations and decelerations in price movement that are often invisible with standard momentum or volatility indicators. Per-bar or time-scaled derivatives (choose whether calculations are based on bars or actual seconds). Features Log-price option for more stable readings across different price levels. Optional smoothing with EMA to reduce noise. Line or column view for flexible visualization. Standard deviation bands (±1σ and ±2σ), centered either on zero or the rolling mean. Auto window selection (1 day to 4 weeks), adaptive to chart timeframe. Color-coded jerk: green for positive, red for negative. Optional filled bands for easy visual context of normal vs. extreme jerk moves. How to Use Use jerk to identify sudden shifts in market dynamics, where price movement is not just changing direction but changing its acceleration. Bands help highlight when jerk values are statistically unusual compared to recent history. Combine with trend or momentum indicators for potential early warning of breakouts, reversals, or exhaustion. Why it’s useful Most indicators measure price, velocity (returns), or acceleration (momentum). This goes one step further to look at jerk, giving you a tool to spot “shock” movements in the market. By framing jerk within standard deviation bands, it’s easy to see whether current moves are ordinary or exceptional. Developed with the assistance of ChatGPT (OpenAI).

Overnight Gap Dominance Indicator (OGDI)The Overnight Gap Dominance Indicator (OGDI) measures the relative volatility of overnight price gaps versus intraday price movements for a given security, such as SPY or SPX. It uses a rolling standard deviation of absolute overnight percentage changes divided by the standard deviation of absolute intraday percentage changes over a customizable window. This helps traders identify periods where overnight gaps predominate, suggesting potential opportunities for strategies leveraging extended market moves. Instructions A pply the indicator to your TradingView chart for the desired security (e.g., SPY or SPX). Adjust the "Rolling Window" input to set the lookback period (default: 60 bars). Modify the "1DTE Threshold" and "2DTE+ Threshold" inputs to tailor the levels at which you switch from 0DTE to 1DTE or multi-DTE strategies (default: 0.5 and 0.6). Observe the OGDI line: values above the 1DTE threshold suggest favoring 1DTE strategies, while values above the 2DTE+ threshold indicate multi-DTE strategies may be more effective. Use in conjunction with low VIX environments and uptrend legs for optimal results.

Realized Volatility (StdDev of Returns, %)📌 Realized Volatility (StdDev of Returns, %) This indicator measures realized volatility directly from price returns, instead of the common but misleading approach of calculating standard deviation around a moving average. 🔹 How it works: Computes close-to-close log returns (the most common way volatility is measured in finance). Calculates the standard deviation of these returns over a chosen lookback period (default = 200 bars). Converts results into percentages for easier interpretation. Provides three key volatility measures: Daily Realized Vol (%) – raw standard deviation of returns. Annualized Vol (%) – scaled by √250 trading days (market convention). Horizon Vol (%) – volatility over a custom horizon (default = 5 days, i.e. weekly). 🔹 Why use this indicator? Shows true realized volatility from historical returns. More accurate than measuring deviation around a moving average. Useful for traders analyzing risk, position sizing, and comparing realized vs implied volatility. ⚠️ Note: It is best used on the Daily Chart! By default, this uses log returns (which are additive and standard in quant finance). If you prefer, you can easily switch to simple % returns in the code. Volatility estimates depend on your chosen lookback length and may vary across timeframes.

Range Percent Histogram📌 Range Percent Histogram – Indicator Description The Range Percent Histogram is a custom indicator that behaves like a traditional volume histogram, but instead of showing traded volume it displays the percentage range of each candle. In other words, the height of each bar represents how much the price moved (in percentage terms) within that candle, from its low to its high. 🔧 What it shows The indicator has two main components: Component Description Histogram Bars Columns plotted in red or green depending on the candle direction (green = bullish candle, red = bearish). The height of each bar = (high - low) / low * 100. That means a candle that moved, for example, 1 % from its lowest point to its highest point will show a bar with 1 % height. Moving Average (optional) A 20-period Simple Moving Average applied directly to the bar values. It can be turned ON/OFF via a checkbox and helps you detect whether current range activity is above or below the average range of the past candles. ⚙️ How it works Every time a new candle closes, the indicator calculates its range and converts it into a percentage. This value is drawn as a column under the chart. If the closing price is above the opening price → the bar is green (bullish range). If the closing price is below the opening price → the bar is red (bearish range). When the Show Moving Average option is enabled, a smooth line is plotted on top of the histogram representing the average percentage range of the last 20 candles. 📈 How to use it This indicator is very helpful for detecting moments of range expansion or contraction. One powerful way to use it is similar to a volume exhaustion / low-volume pattern: Situation Interpretation Consecutive bars with very low height Price is in a period of low volatility → possible accumulation or "pause" phase.
