Liquidation Reversal Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool detects potential liquidation-driven reversals by combining z-score analysis of up/down volume with the classic Supertrend. It watches for abnormal surges in directional volume (on a lower timeframe) and links them to trend flips on the main chart. When both align within a short window, it flags a probable reversal caused by forced liquidations. The goal is to help traders identify exhaustion points where aggressive liquidation moves may mark the end of a trend leg.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The logic revolves around Z-score normalization of up and down volume to locate statistical extremes. When up-volume z-scores exceed a threshold during a bearish Supertrend, it implies trapped shorts being squeezed; the opposite applies for long liquidations. The script tracks these liquidation spikes and monitors whether a Supertrend regime change follows soon after. If confirmed within the allowed timeout, a colored signal marks the event.
In essence:
Z-score outliers = potential forced liquidations.
Supertrend = structural regime context.
Combined = statistically confirmed reversal signals, not random flips.
This pairing reduces false positives by ensuring that both volatility structure and order-flow extremes agree before flagging a reversal.
🟠 FEATURES
Z-score detection for liquidation spikes with adjustable lookback and threshold.
Confirmation logic linking liquidations to Supertrend flips.
Alerts for liquidation spikes and confirmed reversal starts.
On-chart “No Volume” warning to avoid misreads on illiquid assets.
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your main chart. Choose a lower timeframe (default 15m) to capture more granular liquidation flows. Adjust Z-Score Length to control how far back the script measures normal behavior and Threshold to decide what counts as extreme. Keep Timeout Bars low (e.g. 20–50) for faster reversals, or higher for slower markets.
Read the chart :
• Circles appear below bars when long liquidations occur; above bars for short liquidations.
• A Supertrend flip with a recent liquidation spike will display an arrow and color shift.
• Fills between candles and trend lines show which side dominates: green for bullish reversal, red for bearish.
• Candle color fades based on the magnitude of liquidation pressure.
Settings that matter :
• Z-Score Length : Longer smooths noise but delays signal; shorter reacts faster.
• Z-Score Threshold : Higher means only extreme liquidations trigger; lower finds smaller squeezes.
• Timeout Bars : Defines how long after a liquidation the Supertrend flip remains valid.
• Lower Timeframe : Determines the precision of volume readings; too low may increase noise.
Quantura - Trendchange ZonesIntroduction
“Quantura – Trendchange Zones” is an advanced technical indicator that identifies and visualizes potential market reversal zones using dynamic RSI-based logic. It highlights areas of overbought and oversold conditions, marking them as visual zones directly on the price chart, and generates corresponding bullish and bearish signals when the RSI exits these extremes. The tool helps traders anticipate possible trend change regions and confirm momentum shifts in a clean, intuitive way.
Originality & Value
Unlike traditional RSI indicators that only show a static oscillator, this tool transforms RSI behavior into on-chart visual zones that represent structural overbought and oversold phases. It converts RSI threshold breaches into price-based regions (boxes) and marks reversal signals at the moment of momentum change.
The indicator’s originality and usefulness come from its:
Direct visualization of RSI overbought and oversold areas as dynamic chart zones.
Automatic detection of potential reversal regions where momentum exhaustion is likely.
Integration of RSI-based signals and visual cues without requiring users to monitor the RSI window.
Adjustable sensitivity for RSI length and upper/lower levels.
Clear color-coded separation of bullish and bearish phases.
Functionality & Core Logic
The indicator continuously monitors RSI values relative to the user-defined thresholds.
When RSI moves above the upper level, an Overbought Zone is created and extends until RSI falls back below that threshold.
When RSI moves below the lower level, an Oversold Zone is generated and extends until RSI returns above that level.
When RSI exits one of these zones, a corresponding Trendchange Signal (▲ bullish or ▼ bearish) appears at the transition point.
Each zone dynamically adjusts its high and low levels during formation, representing the complete range of the exhaustion phase.
Parameters & Customization
RSI Length: Defines the sensitivity of RSI calculation. Shorter lengths make signals more responsive; longer lengths filter noise.
Upper Level / Lower Level: Set thresholds for overbought and oversold conditions (default 70 / 30).
Signals: Toggle on/off for displaying bullish (▲) and bearish (▼) reversal signals.
Zones: Toggle the visualization of shaded RSI-based zones.
Colors: Fully customizable bullish and bearish colors for both signals and zones.
Visualization & Display
Bullish reversal zones (oversold exits) are shaded using the chosen bullish color (default: blue).
Bearish reversal zones (overbought exits) are shaded using the chosen bearish color (default: red).
Each completed zone is outlined and filled with transparent shading for better clarity.
Reversal arrows (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) are displayed at the bar where RSI exits the extreme level.
Clean overlay design ensures compatibility with any chart style or color scheme.
Use Cases
Identify overbought and oversold periods directly on the price chart without switching to the RSI window.
Anticipate potential market reversals or exhaustion points based on RSI momentum shifts.
Combine with trend indicators, moving averages, or volume tools for confirmation.
Apply across multiple timeframes to align short-term reversal signals with higher timeframe momentum.
Use zone width and duration to assess the strength and persistence of overbought/oversold conditions.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator is not a standalone trading system but a visual confirmation tool.
False signals may occur in strongly trending markets where RSI remains overextended.
Optimal RSI settings may differ between assets (e.g., crypto vs. equities).
Combining this indicator with additional trend or structure filters can enhance accuracy.
Markets & Timeframes
The “Quantura – Trendchange Zones” indicator works across all markets and timeframes, including cryptocurrencies, Forex, stocks, and commodities. It is suitable for both short-term scalping and long-term swing analysis.

Quantura - Supply & Demand Zone DetectionIntroduction
“Quantura – Supply & Demand Zone Detection” is an advanced indicator designed to automatically detect and visualize institutional supply and demand zones, as well as breaker blocks, directly on the chart. The tool helps traders identify key areas of market imbalance and potential reversal or continuation zones, based on price structure, volume, and ATR dynamics.
Originality & Value
This indicator provides a unique and adaptive method of zone detection that goes beyond simple pivot or candle-based logic. It merges multiple layers of confirmation—volume sensitivity, ATR filters, and swing structure—while dynamically tracking how zones evolve as the market progresses. Unlike traditional supply and demand indicators, this script also detects and plots Breaker Zones when previous imbalances are violated, giving traders an extra layer of market context.
The key values of this tool include:
Automated detection of high-probability supply and demand zones.
Integration of both volume and ATR filters for precision and adaptability.
Dynamic zone merging and updating based on price evolution.
Identification of breaker blocks (invalidated zones) to visualize market structure shifts.
Optional bullish and bearish trade signals when zones are retested.
Clear, visually optimized plotting for efficient chart interpretation.
Functionality & Core Logic
The indicator continuously scans recent price data for swing highs/lows and combines them with optional volume and ATR conditions to validate potential zones.
Demand Zones are formed when price action indicates accumulation or a strong bullish rejection from a low area.
Supply Zones are created when distribution or strong bearish rejection occurs near local highs.
Breaker Blocks appear when existing zones are invalidated by price, helping traders visualize potential market structure shifts.
Bullish and bearish signals appear when price re-enters an active zone or breaks through a breaker block.
Parameters & Customization
Demand Zones / Supply Zones: Enable or disable each individually.
Breaker Zones: Activate breaker block detection for invalidated zones.
Volume Filter: Optional filter to only confirm zones when volume exceeds its long-term average by a user-defined multiplier.
ATR Filter: Optional filter for volatility confirmation, ensuring zones form under strong momentum conditions.
Swing Length: Controls the number of bars used to detect structural pivots.
Sensitivity Controls: Adjustable ATR and volume multipliers to fine-tune detection responsiveness.
Signals: Toggle for on-chart bullish (▲) and bearish (▼) signal plotting when price interacts with zones.
Color Customization: User-defined bullish and bearish colors for both standard and breaker zones.
Core Calculations
Zones are detected using pivot highs and lows with a defined lookback and lookahead period.
Additional filters apply if ATR and volume are enabled, requiring conditions like “ATR > average * multiplier” and “Volume > average * multiplier.”
Detected zones are merged if overlapping, keeping the chart clean and logical.
When price breaks through a zone, the original box is closed, and a new breaker zone is plotted automatically.
Bullish and bearish markers appear when zones are retested from the opposite side.
Visualization & Display
Demand zones are shaded in semi-transparent bullish color (default: blue).
Supply zones are shaded in semi-transparent bearish color (default: red).
Breaker zones appear when previous imbalances are broken, helping to spot structural shifts.
Optional arrows (▲ / ▼) indicate potential buy or sell reactions on zone interaction.
Use Cases
Identify institutional areas of accumulation (demand) or distribution (supply).
Detect potential breakout traps and market structure shifts using breaker zones.
Combine with other tools such as volume profile, EMA, or liquidity indicators for deeper confirmation.
Observe retests and reactions of zones to anticipate possible reversals or continuations.
Apply multi-timeframe analysis to align higher timeframe zones with lower timeframe entries.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator does not predict future price movement; it highlights structural imbalances only.
Performance depends on chosen swing length and sensitivity—users should optimize parameters for each market.
Works best in volatile markets where supply and demand imbalances are clearly expressed.
Should be used as part of a broader trading framework, not as a standalone signal generator.

MPO4 Lines – Modal Engine█ OVERVIEW
MPO4 Lines – Modal Engine is an advanced multi-line modal oscillator for TradingView, designed to detect momentum shifts, trend strength, and reversal points through candle-based pressure analysis with multiple fast lines and a reference slow line. It features divergence detection on Fast Line A, overbought/oversold return signals, dynamic coloring modes, and layered gradient visualizations for enhanced clarity and decision-making.
█ CONCEPT
The indicator is built upon the Market Pressure Oscillator (MPO) and serves as its expanded evolution, aimed at enabling broader market analysis through multiple lines with varying parameters. It calculates modal pressure using candle body size and direction, weighted against average body size over a lookback period, then normalized and smoothed via EMA. It generates four distinct oscillator lines: a heavily smoothed Slow Line (trend reference), two Fast Lines (A & B) for momentum and support/resistance, and an optional Line 4 for additional confirmation. Divergence is calculated solely on Fast Line A, with visual gradients between lines and bands for intuitive interpretation.
█ WHY USE IT?
- Multi-Layer Momentum: Combines slow trend reference with dual fast lines for precise entry/exit timing.
- Divergence Precision: Bullish/bearish divergences on Fast Line A with labeled confirmation.
- OB/OS Return Signals: Clear buy/sell markers when Fast Line A exits oversold/overbought zones.
- Dynamic Visuals: Gradient fills, line-to-line shading, and band gradients for instant market state recognition.
- Flexible Coloring: Slow Line color by direction or zero-position; fast lines by sign.
- Full Customization: Independent lengths, smoothing, visibility, and transparency — by adjusting the lengths of different lines, you can tailor results for various strategies; for example, enabling Line 4 and tuning its length allows trading based on crossovers between different lines.
█ HOW IT WORKS?
- Candle Pressure Calculation: Body = math.abs(close - open); avgBody = ta.sma(body, len). Direction = +1 (bull), –1 (bear), 0 (neutral). Weight = body / avgBody. Contribution = direction × weight.
- Rolling Sum & Normalization: Sums contributions over lookback, normalizes to ±100 scale (÷ (len × 2) × 100).
Smoothing: Applies primary EMA (smoothLen), with extra EMA on Slow Line for stability.
Line Structure:
- Slow Line = calcCPO(len1=20, smoothLen1=5) → extra EMA (5)
- Fast Line A = calcCPO(len2=6, smoothLen2=7)
- Fast Line B = calcCPO(len3=6, smoothLen3=10)
- Line 4 = calcCPO(len4=14, smoothLen4=1)
Divergence Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh/low on price and Fast Line A (pivotLength left/right). Bullish: lower price low + higher osc low. Bearish: higher price high + lower osc high. Valid within 5–60 bar window.
Signals:
- Buy: Fast Line A crosses above oversold (–30)
- Sell: Fast Line A crosses below overbought (+30)
- Slow Line color flip (direction or zero-cross)
- Divergence labels ("Bull" / "Bear")
- Band Coloring as Momentum Signal:
When Fast Line A ≤ Fast Line B → Overbought band turns red (bearish pressure building)
When Fast Line A > Fast Line B → Oversold band turns green (bullish pressure building) This dynamic coloring serves as visual confirmation of momentum shift following fast line crossovers
Visualization:
- Gradients: Fast B → Zero (multi-layer fade), Fast A ↔ B fill, OB/OS bands
- Dynamic colors: Green/red based on sign or trend
- Zero line + dashed OB/OS thresholds
Alerts: Trigger on OB/OS returns, Slow Line changes, and divergences.
█ SETTINGS AND CUSTOMIZATION
- Line Visibility: Toggle Slow, Fast A, Fast B, Line 4 independently.
Line Lengths:
- Slow Line: Base (20), Primary EMA (5), Extra EMA (5)
- Fast A: Lookback (6), EMA (7)
- Fast B: Lookback (6), EMA (10)
- Line 4: Lookback (14), EMA (1)
- Slow Line Coloring Mode: “Direction” (trend-based) or “Position vs Zero”.
- Bands & Thresholds: Overbought (+30), Oversold (–30), step 0.1.
- Signals: Enable Fast A OB/OS return markers (default: on).
- Divergence: Enable/disable, Pivot Length (default: 2, min 1).
- Colors & Appearance: Full control over bullish/bearish hues for all lines, zero, bands, divergence, and text.
Gradients & Transparency:
- Fast B → Zero: 75 (default)
- Fast A ↔ B fill: 50
- Band gradients: 40
- Toggle each gradient independently
█ USAGE EXAMPLES
The indicator allows users to configure various strategies manually, though no built-in alerts exist for them. Entry signals can include color of fast lines, crossovers between different lines, alignment of colors across lines, or consistency in direction.
- Trend Confirmation: Slow Line above zero + green = bullish bias; below + red = bearish.
- Entry Timing: Buy on Fast A crossing above –30 (circle marker), especially if Slow Line is rising or near zero.
- Reversal Setup: Bullish divergence (“Bull” label) + Fast A in oversold + green gradient band = high-probability long.
- Scalping: Fast A vs Fast B crossover in direction of Slow Line trend.
- Noise Reduction: Increase extraSmoothLen on Slow Line
█ USER NOTES
- Best combined with volume, support/resistance, or trend channels.
- Adjust lookback and smoothing to asset volatility.
- Divergence delay = pivotLength; plan entries accordingly.

Realtime Squeeze Box [CHE] Realtime Squeeze Box — Detects lowvolatility consolidation periods and draws trimmed price range boxes in realtime to highlight potential breakout setups without clutter from outliers.
Summary
This indicator identifies "squeeze" phases where recent price volatility falls below a dynamic baseline threshold, signaling potential energy buildup for directional moves. By requiring a minimum number of consecutive bars in squeeze, it reduces noise from fleeting dips, making signals more reliable than simple threshold crosses. The core innovation is realtime box visualization: during active squeezes, it builds and updates a box capturing the price range while ignoring extreme values via quantile trimming, providing a cleaner view of consolidation bounds. This differs from static volatility bands by focusing on trimmed ranges and suppressing overlapping boxes, which helps traders spot genuine setups amid choppy markets. Overall, it aids in anticipating breakouts by combining volatility filtering with visual containment of price action.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face whipsaws during brief volatility lulls that mimic true consolidations, leading to premature entries, or miss setups because standard volatility measures lag in adapting to changing market regimes. This design addresses that by using a hold requirement on consecutive lowvolatility bars to denoise signals, ensuring only sustained squeezes trigger visuals. The core idea—comparing rolling standard deviation to a smoothed baseline—creates a responsive yet stable filter for lowenergy periods, while the trimmed box approach isolates the core price cluster, making it easier to gauge breakout potential without distortion from spikes.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Traditional squeeze indicators like the Bollinger Band Squeeze or TTM Squeeze rely on fixed multiples of bands or momentum oscillators crossing zero, which can fire on isolated bars or ignore range compression nuances.
Architecture differences:
Realtime box construction that updates barbybar during squeezes, using arrays to track and trim price values.
Quantilebased outlier rejection to define box bounds, focusing on the bulk of prices rather than full range.
Overlap suppression logic that skips redundant boxes if the new range intersects heavily with the prior one.
Hold counter for consecutive bar validation, adding persistence before signaling.
Practical effect: Charts show fewer, more defined orange boxes encapsulating tight price action, with a horizontal line extension marking the midpoint postsqueeze—visibly reducing clutter in sideways markets and highlighting "coiled" ranges that standard plots might blur with full highs/lows. This matters for quicker visual scanning of multitimeframe setups, as boxes selflimit to recent history and avoid piling up.
How it works (technical)
The indicator starts by computing a rolling average and standard deviation over a userdefined length on the chosen source price series. This deviation measure is then smoothed into a baseline using either a simple or exponential average over a longer window, serving as a reference for normal volatility. A squeeze triggers when the current deviation dips below this baseline scaled by a multiplier less than one, but only after a minimum number of consecutive bars confirm it, which resets the counter on breaks.
Upon squeeze start, it clears a buffer and begins collecting source prices barbybar, limited to the first few bars to keep computation light. For visualization, if enabled, it sorts the buffer and finds a quantile threshold, then identifies the minimum value at or below that threshold to set upper and lower box bounds—effectively clamping the range to exclude tails above the quantile. The box draws from the start bar to the current one, updating its right edge and levels dynamically; if the new bounds overlap significantly with the last completed box, it suppresses drawing to avoid redundancy.
Once the hold limit or squeeze ends, the box freezes: its final bounds become the last reference, a midpoint line extends rightward from the end, and a tiny circle label marks the point. Buffers and states reset on new squeezes, with historical boxes and lines capped to prevent overload. All logic runs on every bar but uses confirmed historical data for calculations, with realtime updates only affecting the active box's position—no future peeking occurs. Initialization seeds with null values, building states progressively from the first bars.
Parameter Guide
Source: Selects the price series (e.g., close, hl2) for deviation and box building; influences sensitivity to wicks or bodies. Default: close. Tradeoffs/Tips: Use hl2 for balanced range view in volatile assets; stick to close for pure directional focus—test on your timeframe to avoid oversmoothing trends.
Length (Mean/SD): Sets window for average and deviation calculation; shorter values make detection quicker but noisier. Default: 20. Tradeoffs/Tips: Increase to 30+ for stability in higher timeframes, reducing false starts; below 10 risks overreacting to singlebar noise.
Baseline Length: Defines smoothing window for the deviation baseline; longer periods create a steadier reference, filtering regime shifts. Default: 50. Tradeoffs/Tips: Pair with Length at 1:2 ratio for calm markets; shorten to 30 if baselines lag during fast volatility drops, but watch for added whips.
Squeeze Multiplier (<1.0): Scales the baseline downward to set the squeeze threshold; lower values tighten criteria for rarer, stronger signals. Default: 0.8. Tradeoffs/Tips: Tighten to 0.6 for highvol assets like crypto to cut noise; loosen to 0.9 in forex for more frequent but shallower setups—balances hit rate vs. depth.
Baseline via EMA (instead of SMA): Switches baseline smoothing to exponential for faster adaptation to recent changes vs. equalweighted simple average. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Enable in trending markets for quicker baseline drops; disable for uniform history weighting in rangebound conditions to avoid overreacting.
SD: Sample (len1) instead of Population (len): Adjusts deviation formula to divide by length minus one for smallsample bias correction, slightly inflating values. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Use sample in short windows (<20) for more conservative thresholds; population suits long looks where bias is negligible, keeping signals tighter.
Min. Hold Bars in Squeeze: Requires this many consecutive squeeze bars before confirming; higher denoise but may clip early setups. Default: 1. Tradeoffs/Tips: Bump to 35 for intraday to filter ticks; keep at 1 for swings where quick consolidations matter—trades off timeliness for reliability.
Debug: Plot SD & Threshold: Toggles lines showing raw deviation and threshold for visual backtesting of squeeze logic. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Enable during tuning to eyeball crossovers; disable live to declutter—great for verifying multiplier impact without alerts.
Tint Bars when Squeeze Active: Overlays semitransparent color on bars during open box phases for quick squeeze spotting. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Pair with low opacity for subtlety; turn off if using boxes alone, as tint can obscure candlesticks in dense charts.
Tint Opacity (0..100): Controls background tint strength during active squeezes; higher values darken for emphasis. Default: 85. Tradeoffs/Tips: Dial to 60 for light touch; max at 100 risks hiding price action—adjust per chart theme for visibility.
Stored Price (during Squeeze): Price series captured in the buffer for box bounds; defaults to source but allows customization. Default: close. Tradeoffs/Tips: Switch to high/low for wider boxes in gappy markets; keep close for midline focus—impacts trim effectiveness on outliers.
Quantile q (0..1): Fraction of sorted prices below which tails are cut; higher q keeps more data but risks including spikes. Default: 0.718. Tradeoffs/Tips: Lower to 0.5 for aggressive trim in noisy assets; raise to 0.8 for fuller ranges—tune via debug to match your consolidation depth.
Box Fill Color: Sets interior shade of squeeze boxes; semitransparent for layering. Default: orange (80% trans.). Tradeoffs/Tips: Soften with more transparency in multiindicator setups; bold for standalone use—ensures boxes pop without overwhelming.
Box Border Color: Defines outline hue and solidity for box edges. Default: orange (0% trans.). Tradeoffs/Tips: Match fill for cohesion or contrast for edges; thin width keeps it clean—helps delineate bounds in zoomed views.
Keep Last N Boxes: Limits historical boxes/lines/labels to this count, deleting oldest for performance. Default: 10. Tradeoffs/Tips: Increase to 50 for weekly reviews; set to 0 for unlimited (risks lag)—balances history vs. speed on long charts.
Draw Box in Realtime (build/update): Enables live extension of boxes during squeezes vs. waiting for end. Default: true. Tradeoffs/Tips: Disable for confirmedonly views to mimic backtests; enable for proactive trading—adds minor repaint on live bars.
Box: Max First N Bars: Caps buffer collection to initial squeeze bars, freezing after for efficiency. Default: 15. Tradeoffs/Tips: Shorten to 510 for fast intraday; extend to 20 in dailies—prevents bloated arrays but may truncate long squeezes.
Reading & Interpretation
Squeeze phases appear as orange boxes encapsulating the trimmed price cluster during lowvolatility holds—narrow boxes signal tight consolidations, while wider ones indicate looser ranges within the threshold. The box's top and bottom represent the quantilecapped high and low of collected prices, with the interior fill shading the containment zone; ignore extremes outside for "true" bounds. Postsqueeze, a solid horizontal line extends right from the box's midpoint, acting as a reference level for potential breakout tests—drifting prices toward or away from it can hint at building momentum. Tiny orange circles at the line's start mark completion points for easy scanning. Debug lines (if on) show deviation hugging or crossing the threshold, confirming hold logic; a persistent hug below suggests prolonged calm, while spikes above reset counters.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter long on squeezeend close above the box top (or midpoint line) confirmed by higher high in structure; filter with rising 50period average to avoid countertrend traps. Use boxes as support/resistance proxies—short below bottom in downtrends.
Exits/Stops: Trail stops to the box midpoint during postsqueeze runs for conservative holds; go aggressive by exiting on retest of opposite box side. If debug shows repeated threshold grazes, tighten stops to curb drawdowns in ranging followups.
Multiasset/MultiTF: Defaults work across stocks, forex, and crypto on 15min+ frames; scale Length proportionally (e.g., x2 on hourly). Layer with highertimeframe boxes for confluence—e.g., daily squeeze + 1H box for entry timing. (Unknown/Optional: Specific multiTF scaling recipes beyond proportional adjustment.)
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Core calculations use historical closes, confirming on bar close; active boxes repaint their right edge and levels live during squeezes if enabled, but freeze irrevocably on hold limit or end—mitigates via barbybar buffer adds without future leaks. No lookahead indexes.
security()/HTF: None used, so no external timeframe repaints; all native to chart resolution.
Resources: Caps at 300 boxes/lines/labels total; small arrays (up to 20 elements) and short loops in sorting/minfinding keep it light—suitable for 10k+ bar charts without throttling. Persistent variables track state across bars efficiently.
Known limits: May lag on ultrasharp volatility spikes due to baseline smoothing; gaps or thin markets can skew trims if buffer hits cap early; overlaps suppress visuals but might hide chained squeezes—(Unknown/Optional: Edge cases in nonstandard sessions).
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with defaults for most liquid assets on 1Hdaily: Length 20, Multiplier 0.8, Hold 1, Quantile 0.718—yields balanced detection without excess noise. For too many false starts (choppy charts), increase Hold to 3 and Baseline Length to 70 for stricter confirmation, reducing signals by 3050%. If squeezes feel sluggish or miss quick coils, shorten Length to 14 and enable EMA baseline for snappier adaptation, but monitor for added flips. In highvol environments like options, tighten Multiplier to 0.6 and Quantile to 0.6 to focus on core ranges; reverse for calm pairs by loosening to 0.95. Always backtest tweaks on your asset's history.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a volatilityfiltered visualization tool for spotting and bounding consolidation phases, best as a signal layer atop price action and trend filters—not a standalone predictor of direction or strength. It highlights setups but ignores volume, momentum, or news context, so pair with discreteness rules like higher highs/lows. Never use it alone for entries; always layer risk management, such as 12% stops beyond box extremes, and position sizing based on account drawdown tolerance.

Directional Strength and Momentum Index█ OVERVIEW
“Directional Strength and Momentum Index” (DSMI) is a technical analysis indicator inspired by DMI, but due to different source data, it produces distinct results. DSMI combines direction measurement, trend strength, and overheat levels into a single index, enhanced with gradient fills, extreme zones, entry signals, candle coloring, and a summary table.
█ CONCEPT
The classic DMI, despite its relatively simple logic, can seem somewhat chaotic due to separate +DI and -DI lines and the need for manual interpretation of their relationships. The DSMI indicator was created to increase clarity and speed up results, consolidating key information into a single index from 0 to 100 that simultaneously:
- Indicates trend direction (bullish/bearish)
- Measures movement strength
- Identifies overheat levels
- Generates ready entry signals
DMI (ADX + +DI / -DI) measures trend direction and strength, but does so based solely on comparing price movements between candles. ADX shows whether the trend is orderly and growing (e.g., above 20–30), but does not assess how dynamic the movement is.
DSMI, on the other hand, takes into account candle size and actual market aggression, thus showing directional momentum — whether the trend has real “fuel” to sustain or accelerate, not just whether it is orderly.
The main calculation difference involves replacing True Range with candle size (high-low) and using directional EMA instead of Wilder smoothing. This allows DSMI to react faster to momentum changes, eliminating delays typical of classic DMI based on TR.
This gives the trader an immediate picture of the market situation without analyzing multiple lines.
█ FEATURES
DSMI Main Line:
- EMA(Directional Index) based on +DS and -DS
- Scale 0–100, smooth color gradient depending on strength
+DS / -DS:
- Positive and Negative Directional Strength
- Gradient fill between lines — more intense with stronger trend
Extreme Zones:
- Default 20 and 80
- Gradient fill outside zones
Trend Strength Levels:
- Weak (<10) → neutral
- Moderate (up to 35)
- Strong (up to 45)
- Overheated (up to 55)
- Extreme (>55)
All levels editable
Entry Signals:
- Activated on crossing entry level (default 20)
Or on direction change when DSMI already ≥ entry level
- Highlighted background (green/red)
Candle Coloring:
- According to current trend
Trend Strength Table:
- Top-right corner
- Shows current strength (WEAK/STRONG etc.) + DSMI value
Alerts:
- DSMI Bullish Entry
- DSMI Bearish Entry
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Paste code in Pine Editor or find in indicator library.
Settings:
DSMI Parameters:
- DSMI Period → default 20
- Show DSMI Line → on/off
Extreme Zones:
- Lower Level → default 20
- Upper Level → default 80
Trend Strength Levels:
- Weak, Moderate, Strong, Overheated → adjust to strategy
Trend Colors:
- BULLISH → default green
- BEARISH → default red
- NEUTRAL → gray
Entry Signals:
- Show Highlight → on/off
- DSMI Entry Level → default 20
Signal Interpretation:
- DSMI Line: Main strength indicator.
- Gradient between +DS and -DS: Visualizes side dominance.
- Crossing 18 with direction confirmation → entry signal.
- Extreme Zones: Potential reversal or continuation points after correction.
- Table: Quick overview of current trend condition.
█ APPLICATIONS
The indicator works well in:
- Trend-following: Enter on signal, exit on direction change or overheat. When a new trend appears, consider entering a position, preferably with a rising trend strength indicator.
- Scalping/daytrading: Shorter period (7–10), lower entry level.
- Swing/position: Longer period (20–30), higher entry level, extreme zones as filters.
- Noise filtering: Ignores consolidation below “Weak” – increasing value e.g. to 15 highlights consolidation zones, but no signals appear there.
Style Adjustment:
- Aggressive strategies → shorten period and entry level
- Conservative → extend period, raise entry level (25–30), watch “Overheated”
“Weak” level (<10 default) → neutral; increasing it e.g. to 15 gives fewer but higher-quality signals. The Weak zone value controls the level below which no signals appear, and the gradient turns gray (often aligned with consolidation zones).
Combine with:
- Support/resistance levels
- Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Volume (Volume Profile, VWAP)
- Other oscillators (RSI, Stochastic)
█ NOTES
- Works on all markets and timeframes.
- Adjust period and levels to instrument volatility.
- Higher entry level → fewer signals, higher quality.
- Neutral color below “Weak” – avoids trading in consolidation.
- Gradient and table enable quick assessment without line analysis.

Volume Spike & RSI | Buy/Sell SignalsThis indicator is designed for intraday traders who seek clean, actionable buy and sell signals using a blend of momentum (RSI) and volume analysis. It automatically detects momentum bursts based on the RSI crossing user-defined levels with a simultaneous volume spike—helping filter out weak or late signals. Signals are highlighted by discrete, color-coded arrows and non-overlapping labels for easy chart interpretation without clutter.
How it works
Buy signal: Generated when the RSI crosses above your chosen “Buy Threshold” (default 60) AND the volume on that bar is above its 20-period average. This suggests strong momentum with real volume support.
Sell signal: Generated when the RSI crosses below your chosen “Sell Threshold” (default 40) AND the volume on that bar is above average, signaling momentum loss or bearish pressure.
Visuals:
Buy signals are illustrated by green upward labels/arrows beneath candles.
Sell signals feature red downward labels/arrows above candles.
All signals adjust spacing dynamically, so they never overlap the price bar.
Bars are colored lime when momentum and volume are both high.
Customization
Fully adjustable RSI “Buy” and “Sell” levels.
Customizable sensitivity for the volume spike via the SMA period input.
Label spacing can be tuned in settings so signals always remain visible, regardless of volatility.
Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for both buy and sell events, compatible with TradingView’s native alerting system.
How to use
1. Add the indicator to your intraday chart (works on any timeframe).
2. When a buy or sell label/arrow appears, it marks a technical momentum burst with real volume conviction. Use these as actionable entries or exits—always manage risk with your personal trading plan.
3. Adjust parameters in the script’s settings as needed for your market or style.
Originality & credits
The logic and code were developed specifically for this script, combining classic RSI levels with volume confirmation and careful non-overlapping visual presentation to ensure clarity for intraday trading.

BK AK-13⚔️ BK AK-13 — The Mentor’s 13. Revealed on 11. Command the Band. Punish the Extremes. ⚔️
This is my 11th release—and that matters. 11 is a sacred number to me, so for release eleven I’m doing something I never planned to do: I’m putting my mentor’s secret 13 MA into the open.
For years, this 13-based MA framework was part of our private playbook—quietly doing work behind the scenes. Now I’m handing it to you fully armed, because I believe in karma in, karma out: I took years of wisdom from the market. I took years of wisdom from the men who taught me. This is one of the ways I give back—with structure, respect, and intent.
🎖 Full Credit — Respect the Origin
The core architecture of BK AK-13 is not mine. It stands firmly on the work of DZIV.
What comes from DZIV:
The Heikin Ashi MA engine (MA calculated on HA Open/High/Low/Close)
The multi-MA engine on the HA feed (ALMA / HMA / SMA / RMA / VWMA / WMA / ZLEMA / EMA)
The Body / Wick / Band zone classification for price
The dynamic body & wick clouds that give this structure its clean visual form
If this framework changes the way you see trend and price location, remember the name: DZIV.
On top of his backbone, I forged the BK AK-13 enhancement layer: trend-strength regimes, background modes, structured band-reversal arrows, momentum acceleration dots, extreme pivot markers, historical band-touch rails, the info panel, and a complete alert suite.
And as always, the “AK” in the name is not branding—it’s honor. It belongs to my mentor A.K. His secret 13 MA is the spine of this system, and his obsession with clarity, patience, and zero shortcuts sits behind every decision in this tool. Above that, all glory and gratitude to Gd—the real source of any wisdom, edge, or endurance we have in this game.
🧠 Why “BK AK-13”?
BK — my mark, the house I’m building.
AK — my mentor, the standard I’m still chasing.
13 — his secret moving average, the length that quietly shaped how I see trend, location, and pressure.
For years, 13 stayed off the public record—used, not discussed. Now, on indicator number 11, I’m putting that weapon in the open: 11th release. Sacred number. Secret 13 revealed, not for hype—but as karmic give-back. Karma in. Karma out.
🧱 What BK AK-13 Actually Is
BK AK-13 is a Heikin Ashi MA battle band with a brain and a conscience.
It does three big things:
Builds a smoothed HA-MA band using Heikin Ashi OHLC to create a cleaner, truer band around price.
Maps price into zones: Body, Upper Wick, Lower Wick, Above Band, Below Band—so every bar has a role.
Assigns a trend regime by computing a normalized trend-strength %, classifying the environment as Weak / Normal / Strong / Extreme.
You’re never guessing: Is this real trend or just drift? Am I in the spine, the wick, or off the rails? Is this where I press, fade, or stand down? The band, zones, and regimes answer that for you.
🎨 Visual Architecture — Band, Clouds, Regimes
Body & Wick Clouds (DZIV’s craft)
Body cloud between HA-MA Open & Close.
Wick clouds between body and HA-MA High/Low.
Color follows trend: bull, bear, or neutral.
You’re not decoding noisy candles—you’re reading the spine and skin of the move.
Background Regime Modes (BK layer)
Standard – background always on, soft trend-follow color.
Hybrid (Extreme + Breaks) – lights only on extreme trend states or reversal break events.
Hybrid (Strong/Extreme + Breaks) – shows strong & extreme regimes, darker tone on true extremes.
Breaks Only – background flashes only on reversal arrows.
When the background goes quiet, you’re in ordinary flow. When it lights up, something is strategic, not cosmetic.
🎯 Weapons Inside BK AK-13
⭐ Trend Change Stars
Stars appear when the internal band trend crosses zero: bull star when it flips negative → positive, bear star from positive → negative. They’re your pivot flags for swing shifts when aligned with your higher timeframe bias.
🔁 Band Reversal Arrows — Edge Flip Logic
Not every band tap—only structured reversals:
Reversal Down (short idea): first a break of the upper band, then later, for the first time, a break of the lower band.
Reversal Up (long idea): first a break of the lower band, then later, for the first time, a break of the upper band.
You can require a close outside the band and set a minimum break distance (% of band range) so only real punches count. These arrows mark campaign flips, not noise.
💡 Momentum Acceleration Dots
In strong trend regimes only:
Green dot = trend accelerating in its own direction (uptrend steepening, downtrend deepening).
Red dot = trend decelerating, even if direction hasn’t flipped yet.
They protect you from chasing late when the engine is dying and from staying stubborn when momentum is bleeding out.
⚠ Extreme Pivot Markers
Pivot highs/lows are found with a configurable lookback and only marked when trend strength at that pivot bar is above your threshold. You’ll see ⚠ above likely exhaustion tops in strong bulls and ⚠ below likely exhaustion lows in strong bears—perfect for final scale-outs, countertrend scouts, and knowing where campaigns commonly run out of blood.
📏 Historical Band-Touch Rails
Over your lookback window, BK AK-13 tracks the highest upper band touch and lowest lower band touch, drawing them as dashed rails. They’re dynamic SR built from real band extremes—ideal for trend targets, fade zones, and stop/scale-out context.
🧭 Info Panel — On-Chart War Room
The Info Panel compresses everything into a single strip: direction + strength codes (BULL STR, BEAR EXT, NEUT WEAK), four segments that brighten as |trend| climbs from weak → normal → strong → extreme, and a zone + deviation label (BDY/UW/LW/AB/BL × OK/AL/EX).
Hover and you get a full tactical brief: trend, momentum change, acceleration, band levels, distances to upper/lower/nearest band in ticks, outer-band streaks, strategic state, plus “Action” guidance and a “What-if” forward scenario. It doesn’t just tell you where you are—it pushes you toward a structured thought process on each bar.
🕹 How to Use BK AK-13 with Intent
1️⃣ Trend-Rider Mode
In Strong/Extreme bull with price in Body or Lower Wick: buy dips into the band (mid/lower) instead of chasing tops; target the upper band / upper rail while structure holds.
In Strong/Extreme bear with price in Body or Upper Wick: sell rallies into the band; target lower band / lower rail while acceleration stays healthy.
The band defines where you’re allowed to do business.
2️⃣ Extreme Snapback Hunter
Prime conditions: trend tagged Extreme, price pressed into the outer band in trend direction, strategic state lit + Hybrid background active. That’s where pressing fresh risk often flips from reward to punishment. Use it to stop adding, start harvesting, or launch controlled mean-reversion probes back to the midline—if your system and risk rules allow it.
3️⃣ Exhaustion & Turn Zones
Watch for confluence: red momentum dots, extreme pivot ⚠ markers, a reversal arrow, and a nearby historical rail or your own key level (Fibs, VWAP, volume structure, etc.). That’s where campaigns often end, traps are set, and new campaigns begin.
🔔 Alerts — The Chart Calls You
Included alerts: Bullish/Bearish Trend Change, Strategic Extreme at Outer Band, Reversal Up/Down, Extreme Pivot High/Low, and Body Zone Entry during Strong Trend. Use them so you respond to events, not impulses.
🔧 Tuning the Extremes — Help Me Perfect the Advanced Side
The extreme thresholds and advanced features are powerful but sensitive, and there is no single perfect universal setting. I’m still tuning them myself across instruments and timeframes: strong/extreme trend thresholds, extreme background thresholds, momentum acceleration threshold, pivot lookback + pivot trend filter, band-touch lookback, and minimum break distance for reversals.
Different markets and timeframes breathe differently.
If you find killer settings for a specific symbol + timeframe, please share:

Experiment. Dial it in. Then share your best settings for the extremes and advanced features. Let this become a crowd-forged battle manual: I gave you the engine, you tune it to your battleground, and we all benefit from what’s discovered in live fire. Karma in. Karma out.
🤝 Pay It Forward
If BK AK-13 sharpens your read, don’t just flex screenshots—teach structure. Show newer traders body vs wick vs edge. Talk about when you didn’t take a trade because the band said “danger,” not just the wins. Share your settings, charts, and lessons—especially around the extremes and advanced modules. I’m sharing a mentor’s secret on release 11 for a reason. If it blesses you, don’t let it stop with you.
📜 King Solomon’s Lens
King Solomon said: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.”
BK AK-13 is built exactly around that dividing line: the simple chase candles at the outer band in extreme regimes and get punished; the prudent see danger in the structure, hide their size, hedge, or reverse with intent.
This indicator won’t make you prudent. It just removes your excuse for being simple.
⚔️ BK AK-13 — The mentor’s secret 13, revealed on 11. Let the band define the field. Let wisdom define your strike.
May Gd bless your eyes, your patience, your settings, and every decision you make at the edge. 🙏

Fat Tony's Composite Momentum + ROC (v0.4)Fat Tony's Composite Momentum + ROC Indicator
Overview
Fat Tony's Composite Momentum + ROC is a sophisticated momentum oscillator that combines multiple technical indicators into a single, volume-weighted signal. This indicator helps traders identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential reversal points by synthesizing Williams %R, Stochastic, MACD, and Rate of Change (ROC) into one composite reading.
Key Features
Multi-Indicator Composite: Combines Williams %R, Stochastic %K, MACD Histogram, and ROC for a comprehensive momentum view
Volume Weighting: Optional volume-based amplification to filter out low-conviction moves
Volume Filter: Requires minimum volume threshold (last 2 bars combined) before triggering signals
Adaptive MACD Scaling: Uses tanh normalization to keep MACD contribution proportional regardless of price volatility
Clear Visual Signals: Triangle markers appear only when crossing extreme levels with sufficient volume
Customizable Thresholds: Adjust overbought/oversold levels, volume sensitivity, and component lengths
How It Works
The indicator normalizes each component to a ±50 scale, then averages them together. The composite reading oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum.
Signal Generation:
🟢 Rebound Watch (Green Triangle): Fires when the composite crosses UP through the oversold level with adequate volume
🔴 Fade Watch (Red Triangle): Fires when the composite crosses DOWN through the overbought level with adequate volume
Customizing Settings
After adding to your chart, click the gear icon next to the indicator name to access settings:
Length: Base period for Williams %R and Stochastic (default: 14)
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal: Standard MACD parameters (default: 12/26/9)
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Threshold values for signals (default: ±100)
Use Volume Weighting: Toggle volume amplification on/off
Volume Sensitivity: Multiplier for volume weighting (default: 1.5)
Include ROC: Toggle Rate of Change component on/off
ROC Length: Lookback period for ROC calculation (default: 10)
Minimum Volume: Required volume (sum of last 2 bars) for signals to trigger (default: 50,000)
Usage Tips
Works best on liquid instruments with consistent volume
Lower timeframes (5m-15m) benefit from higher minimum volume settings
Volume weighting helps filter out noise during consolidation periods
Watch for signal triangles at key support/resistance levels for highest probability setups
The indicator works as a momentum gauge and reversal spotter - not an entry system by itself

Fat Tony's Composite Momentum Histogram (v01)Fat Tony's Composite Momentum Histogram (v01)
Overview
Fat Tony's Composite Momentum Histogram (v01) is a sophisticated momentum oscillator that combines four powerful technical analysis components into a single, unified signal. Unlike traditional single-indicator approaches, this tool synthesizes Williams %R, Stochastic, MACD Histogram, and Rate of Change to provide a comprehensive view of momentum across multiple timeframes and calculation methods.
The indicator displays as a histogram that oscillates between -150 and +150, with overbought/oversold zones clearly marked at +100/-100. When momentum crosses above the oversold level with sufficient volume, a green triangle appears below the histogram signaling a potential long entry. Conversely, when momentum crosses below the overbought level, a red triangle appears above signaling a potential short entry.
What Makes This Different
Multi-Component Synthesis: Rather than relying on a single momentum calculation, this indicator averages four complementary momentum measures, each capturing different aspects of price action:
Williams %R captures overbought/oversold conditions
Stochastic tracks momentum relative to recent price range
MACD Histogram shows trend strength and potential reversals
Rate of Change measures velocity of price movement, normalized by volatility
Intelligent Volume Weighting: The indicator amplifies signals when volume confirms the move. Recent volume is compared to a 20-bar average using a logarithmic scale, preventing extreme spikes from distorting the signal while still rewarding genuine volume-backed momentum.
Adaptive Normalization: The MACD component uses a 200-bar standard deviation to adaptively scale itself, ensuring the indicator remains responsive across different market conditions and volatility regimes.
Volume Filtering: Optional minimum volume threshold (5-bar average) prevents false signals during low-liquidity periods when price moves may not be meaningful.
Key Features
Composite Signal: Combines four momentum indicators into one cohesive oscillator
Volume Confirmation: Optional volume weighting amplifies signals backed by strong participation
Trend Filter: Optional EMA-200 filter to trade only with the dominant trend
Visual Clarity: Color-coded histogram (blue for positive, orange for negative, red/green at extremes)
Automatic Alerts: Built-in alerts for entry and exit signals
Customizable Thresholds: Adjust overbought/oversold levels to match your trading style
ROC Toggle: Enable/disable the Rate of Change component based on your preference
Debug Mode: View individual component plots for fine-tuning and validation

How to Use
Basic Signal Interpretation:
Green triangle below histogram = Long signal (momentum crossing up through oversold)
Red triangle above histogram = Short signal (momentum crossing down through overbought)
Histogram color indicates momentum direction and strength
Background shading highlights extreme overbought/oversold zones
Entry Strategy:
Wait for the histogram to enter oversold territory (below -100) for longs, or overbought (above +100) for shorts
Look for the entry signal (triangle) when momentum crosses back through the threshold
Confirm the signal occurs with adequate volume (if volume filter is enabled)
Consider the trend filter if trading with the dominant direction only
Exit Strategy:
Optional exit signals appear when momentum crosses the zero line against your position
Consider taking profits at extreme opposite readings (e.g., long exit when reaching +100)
Use price action, support/resistance, or your own risk management for final exits
Fine-Tuning:
Shorter Length settings (8-10): More responsive, more signals, potentially more noise
Longer Length settings (18-21): Smoother signals, fewer false positives, slower response
Higher Volume Sensitivity: Requires stronger volume confirmation
Lower Overbought/Oversold Levels (±80): More frequent signals
Enable Trend Filter: Reduces signals but improves win rate by trading with trend
Best Practices
Combine with Price Action: Use this indicator to confirm what you're seeing on the price chart, not as a standalone system
Respect the Volume Filter: Low-volume signals are often false moves; the volume confirmation is there for a reason
Don't Chase: Wait for signals at extreme levels; entries in the middle zone tend to whipsaw
Use Multiple Timeframes: Check that momentum aligns across your trading timeframe and a higher timeframe
Backtest Your Settings: Default parameters work well on many instruments, but optimization for your specific market and timeframe can improve results
Technical Details
The indicator normalizes each component to a -50 to +50 range before averaging, ensuring equal weighting regardless of the raw scale differences between Williams %R, Stochastic, MACD, and ROC. The MACD component uses a hyperbolic tangent function for smooth, bounded normalization. Volume weighting applies a logarithmic scale to prevent extreme outliers from dominating the calculation while still capturing genuine volume surges.
MACD Remastered [CHE]MACD Remastered — Robust MACD with confirmed pivot-based divergence, optional signal bands, and ready-to-use alerts.
Summary
This indicator augments classic MACD with a robust, confirmed pivot-based divergence engine and an optional signal channel using Bollinger Bands. Divergence signals are only produced after a pivot is confirmed, which reduces noise from transient swings. A line-of-sight clearance check filters cases where the MACD histogram path contradicts the divergence, further cutting false flags. Histogram coloring clarifies momentum changes, while optional triangles project the same signals onto the main chart for quick context.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard MACD divergence tools tend to fire early in volatile phases and flip during consolidation. The core idea here is to delay decision points until a pivot is confirmed and to validate the path between pivots. This addresses fake flips and improves signal credibility at the cost of some latency. Optional bands around the Signal line add context about compression and expansion without altering MACD’s core behavior.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Classical MACD (fast and slow moving averages, Signal line, histogram) with simple divergence checks.
Architecture differences:
Confirmed pivot logic with left and right bars.
Line-of-sight clearance test across the histogram path between pivots.
Optional Signal-line Bollinger Bands with configurable length and width.
Composite “Any Divergence” alert plus separate regular and hidden alerts.
Optional main-chart triangles using forced overlay for at-a-glance context.
Practical effect: Fewer early or contradictory divergence signals, clearer momentum context via histogram colors and a visible Signal channel during compression and expansion.
How it works (technical)
The MACD line derives from a fast and a slow moving average on a chosen source. The Signal line smooths the MACD line using a selected moving average type and length. The histogram is the difference between MACD and Signal and is colored by direction and acceleration.
Divergence uses confirmed pivots: a pivot forms only after a set number of bars on the right side, so the event is locked in. The engine retrieves the last two relevant pivots and checks price movement versus the MACD histogram movement to classify regular or hidden divergence. A line-of-sight clearance routine traverses the histogram path between the two pivots and rejects the signal if the path invalidates the directional relationship. When enabled, Bollinger Bands are plotted around the Signal line; width scales with standard deviation. Programmatic alerts fire only on confirmed bars. No higher-timeframe requests are used.
Parameter Guide
Oscillator MA Type — Sets fast and slow MA family for MACD. Default: EMA. Tip: EMA is more responsive; SMA is steadier.
Fast Length — Fast MA period. Default: 12. Trade-off: Shorter is quicker but noisier.
Slow Length — Slow MA period. Default: 26. Trade-off: Longer reduces noise but adds lag.
Source — Price input. Default: Close. Tip: Use a stable source for consistency.
Signal MA Type — Moving average family for Signal. Default: EMA.
Signal Length — Smoothing of MACD into Signal. Default: 9. Trade-off: Longer smooths more, reacts slower.
Calculate Divergence — Enables divergence engine. Default: True.
Enable Bollinger Bands on Signal — Adds bands around Signal. Default: False.
BB Length — Sampling window for bands. Default: 20. Active: Only when bands are enabled.
BB StdDev — Band width in standard deviations. Default: 2.0. Bounds: between about zero point zero zero one and fifty.
Pivot Left / Pivot Right — Bars to the left and right that define a confirmed pivot. Default: five and five. Trade-off: Larger values mean stronger but slower pivots.
Min / Max Bars Between Pivots — Valid window between two pivots. Default: five and sixty. Tip: Increase minimum to reduce micro-divergences.
Detect Hidden — Include hidden divergence. Default: True.
Draw Lines — Draw connector lines on the MACD pane. Default: True.
Alerts: Enable / Regular / Hidden / Frequency / Prefix — Control alert emission, categories, cadence, and label. Defaults: Enabled, both categories on, once per bar close, prefix “MACD RM”.
Reading & Interpretation
Histogram: Columns above zero reflect positive momentum; below zero reflect negative momentum. Color shifts indicate momentum increasing or decreasing within each side.
MACD and Signal: Crosses and distance indicate momentum shifts and strength. When bands are enabled, touches and departures hint at compression and expansion around the Signal.
Divergence: Solid green lines and labels indicate regular bullish; solid red indicate regular bearish. Dashed teal and dashed orange denote hidden bullish and hidden bearish. Triangles on the main chart mirror these events for quicker visibility.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use histogram color transitions with a structure filter such as higher highs and higher lows for long bias, or lower highs and lower lows for short bias. Divergence against the prevailing structure suggests caution or partial exits.
Exits and risk: In a long, regular bearish divergence near resistance can justify scaling out or tightening stops. Hidden divergence in the trend direction can support continuation but should not replace risk controls.
Multi-asset / Multi-timeframe: Works across liquid futures, forex, indices, and large-cap equities. Start with defaults on four-hour and daily; shorten lengths on intraday only when liquidity is strong.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Signals are anchored only after the right-side pivot bars complete; alerts trigger on confirmed bars. This intentionally adds latency to reduce noise.
No higher-timeframe requests: No `security` calls are used; repaint risk is primarily tied to live bars before confirmation.
Resources: Declared `max_bars_back` is five hundred. The divergence path check iterates between pivots, bounded by the maximum bars parameter. Line objects may accumulate; limits are set for lines and labels.
Known limits: Latency at sharp turns, potential misses during fast single-bar reversals, and sensitivity to extremely choppy sessions if minimum gap between pivots is set too low.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tunin g
Starting point: EMA, twelve and twenty-six with Signal nine; pivots five and five; minimum five, maximum sixty; alerts on close; bands off.
Too many flips: Increase Signal length, raise pivot counts, and increase minimum bars between pivots. Consider disabling hidden divergence.
Too sluggish: Reduce pivot counts, lower Signal length, and enable bands to visualize early compression.
Cluttered chart: Keep lines off and rely on labels and main-chart triangles. Use the alert prefix to route events cleanly.
