T3 [RATE OF CHANGE] by SKiNNiEHDeveloped by Tim Tillson, the Tilson Moving Average (T3) is a trend indicator with the advantage of having less lag than other ones. That is, a faster moving average. The T3 moving average is an "indicator of an indicator" as it includes several EMAs of another EMA. Unlike other moving averages, the t3 adds the so-called volume factor, a value between 0 and 1.
The T3 RATE OF CHANGE by SKiNNiEH is a unique indicator that integrates the T3 moving average with a normalized Rate of Change (RoC) calculation. Unlike traditional T3 moving averages, this indicator provides additional smoothing modes (SINGLE, DOUBLE & TRIPLE) for the T3, whilst enhancing visual feedback of the plotted line by generating a dynamic line thickness, a dynamic line color & brightness and trade entry bars, offering traders a more dynamic view of market conditions without going "overboard" with settings.
How It Works
Visualization
The T3 line varies in thickness and color based on the RoC values, giving traders visual cues about market strength and direction.
Thicker and brighter lines indicate stronger trends, while thinner and duller lines suggest weaker trends.
Rate of Change Filte r
This filter refines trend detection by using the line thickness measurement.
Adjustable from 0 (disabled) to 4, where higher settings only consider stronger trends for signals.
The T3 line turns gray when the filter is triggered or when the RoC is extremely low, signaling a weak or neutral market.
T3 Calculation (mode)
SINGLE
The T3 calculation is applied once to the closing price.
This mode has the least smoothing effect and the least lag. It reacts more quickly to price changes but is less smooth.
DOUBLE
The T3 calculation is applied twice sequentially.
The first T3 calculation smooths the closing price.
The second T3 calculation smooths the result of the first T3 calculation.
This mode provides more smoothing and introduces more lag compared to SINGLE mode. It is smoother but reacts slower to price changes.
TRIPLE
The T3 calculation is applied three times sequentially.
The first T3 calculation smooths the closing price.
The second T3 calculation smooths the result of the first T3 calculation.
The third T3 calculation smooths the result of the second T3 calculation.
This mode provides the most smoothing and introduces the most lag by reacting the slowest to price changes.
Rate of Change (RoC) Calculation
The script calculates the Rate of Change (RoC) for the T3 values based on the selected mode (SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE). The RoC measures the percentage change between the most recent value and a value in the past. The measurement is then normalized in three different ranges.
Normalization 5: Determines T3 line thickness on a scale from 0 - 5
Normalization 10: Determines T3 color brightness on a scale from 0 - 10
Normalization 100: Determines Rate of Change percentage
Rate of Change Filter
The script uses the RoC filter to refine the trend detection logic. By using the line thickness measurement, a filter can be enabled by setting this input on 1 - 4. As an example, setting this to 4 means that only a line thickness of 5 would be considered for a trade signal. Setting this to 0 disables the filter. The T3 line will turn gray when the filter is triggered, the T3 line can also turn gray without the filter, when the Rate of Change is extremely low.
Trade Signals
A trade signal is printed as a vertical green or red bar when the following conditions are met:
Long:
Closing price is above the T3 line
Rate of Change percentage is above 0
Previous trade signal was a short signal **
Rate of Change is not filtered
Short:
Closing price is below the T3 line
Rate of Change percentage is below 0
Previous trade signal was a long signal **
Rate of Change is not filtered
** Or this is the very first recorded trade signal
It should be noted that the trade signals in this script are trade entry signals, not trade exit signals. Use at your own risk.
Instructions for Use
Setting Up the Indicator
Apply the indicator to your trading chart.
Choose the desired T3 mode (SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE) based on your need for smoothing and lag.
Set the desired length (lookback period).
Set the desired factor between 0 and 1 (increments of 0.1)
Choose an overall line thickness and brightness that suits your screen and taste preferences.
Apply the Rate of Change filter. Setting this to 0 will disable the filter
Tip: use the trade entry vertical bars as a visual calibration tool the adjust mode, length, factor and filter.
Interpreting Visual Cues
Observe the T3 line's thickness: thicker lines indicate stronger trends, while thinner lines suggest weaker trends.
Observe the T3 line's color and color brightness: green indicates a more bullish trend, while red indicates a more bearish trend. A brighter color suggest a stronger trend. A gray color means the RoC is very low / neutral, or the RoC filter is active.
Observe the T3 line's location relative to price: below price indicates a more bullish trend, above price indicates a more bearish trend. The T3 line distance from price can also be an indication of trend strength.
Observe vertical bars: a vertical bar is printed green when long conditions are met, a vertical bar is printed red when short conditions are met. See the rules that explain the trigger for this bar above.

Moving Averages
EMA Cross Fibonacci Entry with RetracementThe EMA Cross Fibonacci Entry with Retracement is a trading strategy that combines two popular technical analysis tools: Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Fibonacci retracement levels. Here's a brief overview of how this strategy typically works:
### Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
1. **EMAs Calculation**: EMAs give more weight to recent price data, making them more responsive to price changes. Commonly used periods for EMAs in this strategy are the 50-period and 200-period EMAs.
2. **EMA Cross**: The strategy looks for a "golden cross" (short-term EMA crosses above the long-term EMA) as a potential buy signal, and a "death cross" (short-term EMA crosses below the long-term EMA) as a potential sell signal.
### Fibonacci Retracement Levels
1. **Fibonacci Retracement**: This tool is used to identify potential support and resistance levels based on the Fibonacci sequence. The key retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%.
2. **Drawing Retracement Levels**: Traders draw Fibonacci retracement levels from a significant peak to a significant trough (or vice versa) to identify potential retracement levels where the price might reverse.
### Combining EMA Cross with Fibonacci Retracement
1. **Identify EMA Cross**: First, traders look for an EMA cross. For example, a golden cross where a shorter EMA (e.g., 50 EMA) crosses above a longer EMA (e.g., 200 EMA) suggests a bullish trend.
2. **Wait for Retracement**: After identifying a cross, traders wait for the price to retrace to a Fibonacci level. The key levels to watch are 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%.
3. **Entry Point**: The entry point is when the price retraces to a Fibonacci level and shows signs of reversal (e.g., bullish candlestick patterns, support at Fibonacci levels). This is typically when traders enter a long position.
4. **Confirmation with EMA**: Ensure that the EMAs support the trend. For a buy entry, the short-term EMA should remain above the long-term EMA.
### Example of a Bullish Entry
1. **Golden Cross**: 50 EMA crosses above 200 EMA.
2. **Retracement**: Price retraces to the 38.2% Fibonacci level.
3. **Entry Signal**: At the 38.2% level, a bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., hammer) forms, indicating potential support.
4. **Entry Point**: Enter a long position at the close of the bullish candlestick.
### Risk Management
1. **Stop Loss**: Place a stop loss below the next Fibonacci retracement level or below the recent swing low to limit potential losses.
2. **Take Profit**: Set a take profit target based on a risk-reward ratio, previous resistance levels, or further Fibonacci extensions.
### Conclusion
The EMA Cross Fibonacci Entry with Retracement strategy is a systematic approach to identifying entry points in a trending market. By combining the responsiveness of EMAs with the predictive power of Fibonacci retracement levels, traders aim to enter trades at optimal points, increasing their chances of success while managing risk effectively.
Fractalyst Moving Average [Adaptive] | FractalystWhat's the indicator purpose and functionality?
Moving averages are widely used technical indicators in trading.
Typically, they provide reliable entry signals in trending markets but can falter during consolidation periods.
Now, imagine a moving average that adjusts to market conditions.
The Fractalyst Moving Average does just that by adapting to the market's noise level, which is the erratic price movement within trends or consolidation phases.
This indicator incorporates market structure into moving averages to more effectively identify potential market trends.
By dynamically calculating moving averages based on external swing highs and lows, it offers robust trend identification and adapts to different market conditions, giving traders valuable insights into current market condition.

How does FRMA react in a trending and consolidating market?
When the market trends, the FRMA adjusts quickly to price movements, closely tracking the trend and positioning itself close to prices. This responsiveness allows it to provide timely signals and effectively capture trends.
However, in consolidating markets where there is little net change in price over time, the FRMA reacts slowly. As consolidation prolongs, the FRMA may even cease to move significantly, appearing non-reactive. This characteristic helps minimize false signals and unnecessary trades during periods of market indecision.
Notice how the FRMA tracks prices closely when the market is trending. When the market begins to consolidate, however, the FRMA becomes relatively unresponsive and stays horizontal.
------
What are the underlying calculations behind FRMA?
Identifying Swing Highs and Lows: FRMA begins by identifying the most recent external swing highs and lows, which are key pivot points in the market's price structure.
Defining Market Structure: It calculates the distance between these external swing levels. When price remains confined between these levels, indicating a horizontal market, it signifies minor intermediate ranges or a lack of clear trend direction.
Adapting to Breaks of Structure: When a new break of structure occurs—such as a significant price movement above a previous swing high or below a swing low—the FRMA updates dynamically.
It adjusts its values to reflect the midpoint (50%) of the distance between the external swing highs and lows.
This adjustment helps the FRMA react promptly to changes in different market environments.
------
How to use the FRMA in trading?
In a trend-following context, the FRMA provides clear signals for trading:
Buying Signal: Look to buy when the FRMA is rising. This indicates that the market is in an uptrend, with prices consistently moving higher. Buying at these points aligns with the trend momentum and increases the likelihood of capturing profitable movements.
Selling Signal: Consider selling when the FRMA is falling. A declining FRMA suggests that the market is in a downtrend, where prices are consistently decreasing. Selling during these periods helps capitalize on downward movements and potential profit-taking opportunities.
Avoiding Trades: Avoid trading when the FRMA appears horizontal and the market is consolidating. This indicates a lack of clear trend direction or significant price movement, which can lead to choppy price action and increased risk of false signals. Waiting for the FRMA to resume a clear trend direction can help avoid unnecessary losses in consolidating markets.
Note: These rules are just examples and may generate numerous false signals. Even when the FRMA is less responsive, it can exhibit frequent changes in direction.
Traders should apply additional filters or confirmatory indicators to refine their trading decisions and mitigate the impact of false signals.
Depending on whether they're employing mean-reversion or trend-following trading styles, traders need to adjust other market filters accordingly.
It's crucial to conduct thorough backtesting using various market conditions and filters to validate and optimize their trading strategies effectively.
This process helps traders identify the settings that best align with their trading goals and market conditions.
------
What makes this moving average unique compared to others?
Yes, it's another moving average, but the Fractalyst Adaptive Moving Average stands out for a compelling reason.
Its calculation is more sophisticated, leveraging market structure to identify potential consolidation and trending environments, similar to conventional moving averages such as SMA and EMA.
------
How does the FRMA's stack up against the other moving averages?
Since markets are always evolving, using adaptive strategy elements like the FRMA certainly makes a whole lot of sense.
However, from a practical standpoint, the only way to find out would be to exhaustively backtest the various moving averages across all markets of interest.
Establishing equivalency between the FRMA and other moving averages may be a little challenging, since the FRMA does not use a single integer value for its lookback period.
Assuming the backtests produced roughly equal results, I’d personally prefer to use the FRMA. Its adaptive qualities give me confidence that the strategy can weather changing market conditions.

Error Calculation:
The script computes the error between the actual and predicted values.
Gradient Descent: The coefficients are updated iteratively using gradient descent to minimize the error.
// Compute the predicted values using the non-linear regression function
predictedValues = nonLinearRegression(x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, b1, b2, b3, b4)
// Compute the error
error = errorModule(initial_val, predictedValues)
// Update the coefficients using gradient descent
b1 := b1 - (learningRate * (error * x_1))
b2 := b2 - (learningRate * (error * x_2))
b3 := b3 - (learningRate * (error * x_3))
b4 := b4 - (learningRate * (error * x_4))
Visualization:
Plotting of normalized input data (close, open, high, low).

This indicator helps users analyze the relationship between multiple variables and make trading decisions based on the regression analysis. Adjusting the coefficients and parameters can fine-tune the model's performance according to specific market conditions.
(Envelopes)USS Enterprise1. This indicator is created for those who still believe in the functionality of moving averages. Indicator consists of several envelopes of moving averages and two separate averages. The selection of these moving averages is linked to Fibonacci theories and calculations.
2. The indicator shows moving averages (envelopes) of all market participants. From the smallest to the giants.
3. It should be noted that all averages are mainly calibrated to a 15-minute time frame. But I'm not saying that you can't use it on any TF. Because market is fractal.
Groups:
1. (YELLOW ENVELOPES) The first group are scalpers and big traders. Yellow envelope! This is the largest group of traders, but with the smallest capital on the market. Why did I choose this envelope? To show who is in control of the market. The average duration of holding the price of this envelope is 12-16 hours (in trend phase) and therefore it is suitable for intra-day trading. If the price closes below this envelope, we know that their strength was no longer sufficient. However, as long as these two yellow curves do not cross each other, we consider this group of traders to be still dominant/active and their weakening was only partial, for example, due to a pullback, or due to manipulation of the price of stronger players.
2. (LIGHT BLUE ENVELOPE) When I mentioned pullback. Understand it as the return of the price in the trend. But who is capable of these pullbacks in the trend? Our second group of traders. Institutions. (Light blue color). Only their amount of money can cause the price to return to their point of interest and that is the light blue envelope. The average ability to hold the trend of the institutions is something around 1-2 days. If the price closes with a slow decline/rise below this/above this envelope, we can expect that their strength is still large enough. However, if there are movements that seem to cut through this envelope, it is the first indication that the institutions are losing strength. If there is a crossover of any yellow average across both institutional ones, we can expect a much bigger pullback in the trend. This pullback is then again mainly under the control of the institutions (rejections from the light blue envelope.) But where can this pullback go? Another market participant will tell us that!
3. (DARK BLUE ENVELOPE) Market makers are another participant. Their task is to maintain balance on the market. This means that the market does not only go up or only down. That's what the envelope of market makers is for. This envelope is considered a trend defender. What makes it special. It can hold a trend even for days. We can consider the return to this envelope as a supply and demand strategy. In the trend, the price will come back here as a pullback and then rocket back into the original trend. I'll tell you what you probably guessed, yes, we are moving here at the EMA200 level. So if the institutional (light blue) traders lose their strength, believe me that the envelope of the market makers is a very likely stop! When does a trend change occur and not a pullback? If there is a crossing of the light blue average with the entire envelope of market makers. The next test from the other side of this envelope confirms the trend change.
4. Let's skip the black envelope for the moment.
5. (PURPLE ENVELOPE) Let's explain the purple envelope. It is the envelope of market makers and especially hedge funds. What do you think when the price closes below the EMA200 (originally a bull trend) and even tests it below? "We have a trend change now we definitely have a down trend!!!" Uhm. NOPE :D. That's their job. To show you what they want you to believe. What does this result in? Filling their large orders, which eventually means that you were caught and liquidated with your positions. By testing, you will find out how many times you thought there was a trend change, but after you see how the price reacts from the purple envelope, you will understand that until now you did not know at all when a general trend change occurs. When we talk about a trend change in the long term , occurs when the EMA200 (dark blue envelope) crosses this purple envelope. This purple envelope is able to keep the price trending for an average of 3 weeks.
Don't get caught that the trend change is when the price closes below the EMA200.Or "golden cross"
6. (BLACK ENVELOPE) Did we miss something though? So let's go back to the meaning of the black envelope. When you take a good look at the trend and notice all the envelopes lined up nicely and focus on the dark blue envelope and the purple envelope. Don't you feel like you're seeing Fibonacci's return? Or as if you see the price in the premium zone?.78%-88%. Yes, it's exactly this envelope. Sometimes market makers and funds are satisfied with the price in this envelope and are willing to continue buying or selling from this envelope. However, keep in mind, this can be a stop before testing the purple envelope - mostly the range is formed in this black envelope. Expect in such a case that they will test the purple envelope. Otherwise, take this envelope as a sign of a premium zone.
7. (ORANGE,TEAL and RED MA) The Orange,Teal and Red averages show a pure bank level. That is, our mentioned giants on the market. You will see for yourself on the market with what accuracy the banks return to these averages. You will see for yourself that trends really change only at these averages. You must have told yourself several times why and how patterns that resemble a letter are created in the market V or the letter A. Congratulations! Thanks to my indicator, you already know today! Because of these bank averages!!!
I wish you the best of luck with this indicator and hopefully it helps as many people as possible understand trends and how important simple lines can be! Which and how many envelopes or moving averages you will use is entirely up to you!
Warning: Everything published in this description or the functionality of this indicator serves only as educational content! Only YOU are responsible for all profits and losses!
Moving avg with regMoving avg with reg
A Moving avg with reg is a series of moving averages plotted on the same chart, each with different time periods. This visual tool helps traders identify the underlying trend and potential reversal points in the market. By observing the interaction and spacing between the moving averages, traders can gauge the market's strength and momentum.
Key Points:
Trend Identification: Multiple moving averages help confirm the direction of the trend. If the shorter-period moving averages are above the longer-period ones, it indicates an uptrend, and vice versa.
Reversal Signals: When shorter-period moving averages cross longer-period ones, it may signal a potential trend reversal.
Market Strength: The spacing between the moving averages indicates the strength of the trend. Wider spacing suggests a strong trend, while narrow spacing may indicate a weakening trend.
Regression Line
A Regression Line, specifically the Linear Regression Indicator (LRI), is a statistical tool used to determine the direction and strength of a trend by fitting a straight line to the price data over a specified period. This line minimizes the distance between itself and the actual price points, providing a clear visual representation of the trend.
Key Points:
Trend Direction: The slope of the regression line indicates the direction of the trend. A positive slope suggests an uptrend, while a negative slope indicates a downtrend.
Price Deviations: The distance between the actual price and the regression line can highlight overbought or oversold conditions. Large deviations may suggest a potential correction.
Predictive Power: By extending the regression line, traders can make predictions about future price movements based on the current trend.
Stochastic Biquad Band Pass FilterThis indicator combines the power of a biquad band pass filter with the popular stochastic oscillator to provide a unique tool for analyzing price movements.
The Filter Length parameter determines the center frequency of the biquad band pass filter, affecting which frequency band is isolated. Adjusting this parameter allows you to focus on different parts of the price movement spectrum.
The Bandwidth (BW) controls the width of the frequency band in octaves. It represents the bandwidth between -3 dB frequencies for the band pass filter. A narrower bandwidth results in a more focused filtering effect, isolating a tighter range of frequencies.
The %K Length parameter sets the period for the stochastic calculation, determining the range over which the stochastic values are calculated.
The %K Smoothing parameter applies a simple moving average to the %K values to smooth out the oscillator line.
The %D Length parameter sets the period for the %D line, which is a simple moving average of the %K line, providing a signal line for the oscillator.
Key Features of the Stochastic Biquad Band Pass Filter
Biquad filters are known for their smooth response and minimal phase distortion, making them ideal for technical analysis. In this implementation, the biquad filter is configured as a band pass filter, which allows frequencies within a specified band to pass while attenuating frequencies outside this band. This is particularly useful in trading to isolate specific price movements, making it easier to detect patterns and trends within a targeted frequency range.
The stochastic oscillator is a popular momentum indicator that shows the location of the close relative to the high-low range over a set number of periods. Combining it with a biquad band pass filter enhances its effectiveness by focusing on specific frequency bands of price movements.

Biquad High Pass FilterThis indicator utilizes a biquad high pass filter to filter out low-frequency components from price data, helping traders focus on high-frequency movements and detect rapid changes in trends.
The Length parameter determines the cutoff frequency of the filter, affecting how quickly the filter responds to changes in price. A shorter length allows the filter to react more quickly to high-frequency movements.
The Q Factor controls the sharpness of the filter. A higher Q value results in a more precise filtering effect by narrowing the frequency band. However, be cautious when setting the Q factor too high, as it can induce resonance, amplifying certain frequencies and potentially making the filter less effective by introducing unwanted noise.

Internal Bar Strength IBS [Anan]This indicator calculates and displays the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) along with its moving average. The IBS is a measure that represents where the closing price is relative to the high-low range of a given period.
█ Main Formula
The core of this indicator is the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) calculation. The basic IBS formula is:
ibs = (close - low) / (high - low)
I enhanced the original formula by incorporating a user-defined length parameter. This modification allows for greater flexibility in analysis and interpretation. The extended version enables users to adjust the indicator's length according to their specific needs or market conditions. Notably, setting the length parameter to 1 reproduces the behavior of the original formula, maintaining backward compatibility while offering expanded functionality:
ibs = (close - ta.lowest(low, ibs_length)) / (ta.highest(high, ibs_length) - ta.lowest(low, ibs_length))
Where:
- `close` is the closing price of the current bar
- `lowest low` is the lowest low price over the specified IBS length
- `highest high` is the highest high price over the specified IBS length
█ Key Features
- Calculates IBS using a user-defined length
- Applies a moving average to the IBS values
- Offers multiple moving average types
- Includes optional Bollinger Bands or Donchian Channel overlays
- Visualizes bull and bear areas
█ Inputs
- IBS Length: The period used for IBS calculation
- MA Type: The type of moving average applied to IBS (options: SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA, Bollinger Bands, Donchian)
- MA Length: The period used for the moving average calculation
- BB StdDev: Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands
█ How to Use and Interpret
1. IBS Line Interpretation:
- IBS values range from 0 to 1
- Values close to 1 indicate the close was near the high, suggesting a bullish sentiment
- Values close to 0 indicate the close was near the low, suggesting a bearish sentiment
- Values around 0.5 suggest the close was near the middle of the range
2. Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
- IBS values above 0.8 (teal zone) may indicate overbought conditions
- IBS values below 0.2 (red zone) may indicate oversold conditions
- These zones can be used to identify potential reversal points
3. Trend Identification:
- Consistent IBS values above 0.5 may indicate an uptrend
- Consistent IBS values below 0.5 may indicate a downtrend
4. Using Moving Averages:
- The yellow MA line can help smooth out IBS fluctuations
- Crossovers between the IBS and its MA can signal potential trend changes
5. Bollinger Bands/Donchian Channel:
- When enabled, these can provide additional context for overbought/oversold conditions
- IBS touching or exceeding the upper band may indicate overbought conditions
- IBS touching or falling below the lower band may indicate oversold conditions
Remember that no single indicator should be used in isolation. Always combine IBS analysis with other technical indicators, price action analysis, and broader market context for more reliable trading decisions.
SD Distance Mean BetaThe "SD Distance Mean Indicator" is a currently a developing tool designed to enhance trading precision by dynamically adjusting to market conditions. This indicator provides insights into price deviations from the mean, helping traders make inf OANDA:XAUUSD ormed decisions based on significant price movements.
Key Features:
Adaptive Length Adjustment:
The indicator dynamically adjusts the calculation period based on the Average True Range (ATR). This allows it to respond to different market conditions, using a shorter length during consolidations and a longer length during trends.
Standardized Distance Calculation:
The indicator calculates the distance of the current price from the mean and standardizes it using the standard deviation. This standardized distance is then smoothed to reduce noise and provide clearer signals.
Dynamic Standard Deviation (SD) Levels:
SD levels are adjusted dynamically based on ATR, providing a more accurate representation of price volatility. These levels are further smoothed to minimize wiggling on shorter timeframes like the 30-minute chart.
Visual Cues for Trading Signals:
The indicator plots multiple SD levels (+1, +2, +3, +4 and their negatives) and highlights significant price movements. When the standardized distance line hits or exceeds these levels, it signals potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Customizable Smoothing: The smoothing length for both the standardized distance and SD levels can be customized to suit different trading strategies and timeframes. Default values are set to provide a balance between responsiveness and stability.

Moving Average Trend Meter [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Moving Average Trend Meter is a powerful trading indicator that visualizes current market strength. This indicator uses a series of four EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) to determine short, medium and long term market strength. Each of the three rows of boxes corresponds to an EMA, with the top being the fast, the middle being the medium and the bottom being the slow. Depending on whether each EMA is above or below the source EMA, its corresponding row will be colored accordingly, with the boxes appearing green if the source is above it or red if it is below.
This indicator also displays when the strength of the market is transitioning between bullish and bearish, indicating that there may be an upcoming reversal.
The purpose of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by providing an easier way to visualize current market strength using a series of EMAs.
█ USAGE
This indicator provides an easy to understand method of visualizing the current market strength based on the positioning of four EMAs. By default, the period for these EMAs are selected based on key Fibonacci levels, and the period of each one can be customized in the indicator settings.
Depending on whether or not the source EMA is above or below each of the other three EMAs, the boxes of the corresponding rows will be colored to indicate the current strength of the market.
If all three boxes are drawn the same color, a dot of the same color will be drawn above the boxes.
█ SETTINGS
Configuration
• Source EMA: Determines the period of the source EMA.
• Fast EMA: Determines the period of the fast EMA.
• Med EMA: Determines the period of the medium EMA.
• Slow EMA: Determines the period of the slow EMA.
Colors
• Bullish Color: Determines the color of boxes when the source EMA is above the respective EMA.
• Bearish Color: Determines the color of boxes when the source EMA is below the respective EMA.
• Bullish Transition Color: Determines the color of boxes when the current bar closes above the respective EMA while the source is below it.
• Bearish Transition Color: Determines the color of boxes when the current bar closes below the respective EMA while the source is above it.
Heiken Ashi Ribbon [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Heiken Ashi Ribbon is a powerful trading tool that creates a strong ribbon that indicates market strength. This ribbon is created using four moving averages that use Heiken Ashi values (high, low, open and close) as its input values.
The ribbon will also be colored green, red or grey depending on whether or not its direction aligns with current market strength.
█ USAGE
The Heiken Ashi Ribbon is created using a series of four moving averages that uses values from the Heiken Ashi bars as its inputs. The user has the ability to select whether the moving averages are EMAs or SMAs, as well as the ability to control the period of the moving averages.
If the moving average calculated using the Heiken Ashi Open is below the moving average calculated using the Heiken Ashi Close, the ribbon will be colored green, indicating a bullish trend. If the moving average calculated using the Heiken Ashi Open is above the moving average calculated using the Heiken Ashi Open, the ribbon will be colored red, indicating a bearish trend.
This indicator also uses a series of hidden EMAs to determine market strength. If these EMAs do not align with the direction of the Heiken Ashi Ribbon, the Ribbon will instead be colored grey, indicating uncertainty in the market, as well as a possible reversal.
█ SETTINGS
Configuration
• Moving Average Type: Determines whether or not the Heiken Ashi Moving Averages will be drawn as EMAs or SMAs.
• Moving Average Period: Determines the period of the Heiken Ashi Moving Averages.
Moving Average
• Moving Average Input: Determines the input values for the hidden EMAs.
GMMA Toolkit [QuantVue]The GMMA Toolkit is designed to leverage the principles of the Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA). This indicator is equipped with multiple features to help traders identify trends, reversals, and periods of market compression.
The Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA) is a technical analysis tool developed by Australian trader and author Daryl Guppy in the late 1990s.
It utilizes two sets of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to capture both short-term and long-term market trends. The short-term EMAs represent the activity of traders, while the long-term EMAs reflect the behavior of investors.
By analyzing the interaction between these two groups of EMAs, traders can identify the strength and direction of trends, as well as potential reversals.
Due to the nature of GMMA, charts can become cluttered with numerous lines, making analysis challenging.
However, this indicator simplifies visualization by using clouds to represent the short-term and long-term EMA groups, determined by filling the area between the maximum and minimum EMAs in each group.
The GMMA Toolkit goes a step further and includes an oscillator that measures the difference between the average short-term and long-term EMAs, providing a clear visual representation of trend strength and direction.
The farther the oscillator is from the 0 level, the stronger the trend. It is plotted on a separate panel with values above zero indicating bullish conditions and values below zero indicating bearish conditions.
The inclusion of the oscillator in the GMMA Toolkit allows traders to identify earlier buy and sell signals based on the GMMA oscillator crossing the zero line compared to traditional crossover methods.
Lastly, the GMMA Toolkit features compression dots that indicate periods of market consolidation.
By measuring the spread between the maximum and minimum EMAs within both short-term and long-term groups, the indicator identifies when these spreads are significantly narrower than average by comparing the current spread to the average spread over a lookback period.
This visual cue helps traders anticipate potential breakout or breakdown scenarios, enhancing their ability to react to imminent trend changes.
By simplifying the visualization of the Guppy Multiple Moving Averages with clouds, providing earlier buy and sell signals through the oscillator, and highlighting periods of market consolidation with compression dots, this toolkit offers traders insightful tools for navigating market trends and potential reversals.

🔶 Filtered MACD : Understanding How Filters Work with ADX and MA
ADX Filter:
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend. The script calculates ADX using the user-defined length and applies a threshold value.
Trading Signals with ADX Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal (crossover of MACD line above the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the set threshold. This suggests a stronger uptrend to potentially capitalize on.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal (crossunder of MACD line below the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the threshold, indicating a stronger downtrend for potential shorting opportunities.
Benefits: The ADX filter helps avoid whipsaws or false signals that might occur during choppy market conditions with weak trends.
MA Filter:
You can choose from various Moving Average (MA) types (EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA) for the filter. The script calculates the chosen MA based on the user-defined length.
Trading Signals with MA Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal is only considered valid if the closing price is above the MA value. This suggests a potential uptrend confirmed by the price action staying above the moving average.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal is only considered valid if the closing price is below the MA value. This suggests a potential downtrend confirmed by the price action staying below the moving average.
Benefits: The MA filter helps identify potential trend continuation opportunities by ensuring the price aligns with the chosen moving average direction.
Combining Filters:
You can choose to use either the ADX filter, the MA filter, or both depending on your strategy preference. Using both filters adds an extra layer of confirmation for your signals.
🔶 Backtesting Module
The backtesting module in this script allows you to visually assess how the filtered MACD strategy would have performed on historical data. Here's a deeper dive into its features:
Backtesting Type: You can choose to backtest for buy signals only, sell signals only, or both. This allows you to analyze the strategy's effectiveness in different market conditions.
Stop-Loss Types: You can define how stop-loss orders are placed:
ATR (Average True Range): This uses a volatility measure (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor to set the stop-loss level.
Fixed Point: This allows you to specify a fixed dollar amount or percentage value as the stop-loss.
X bar High/Low: This sets the stop-loss at a certain number of bars (defined by the user) above/below the bar's high (for long positions) or low (for short positions).
Reward-to-Risk Ratio: Define the desired ratio between your potential profit and potential loss on each trade. The backtesting module will calculate take-profit levels based on this ratio and the stop-loss placement.
