Simple Trend Strength & MomentumThis indicator will show a combination of Trend Strength, Volatility using an Adaptive Moving Average (AMA), and Market Momentum.
You can use this indicator to identify trends, volatility, and momentum shifts in real-time, making it an excellent tool for both trend-following and breakout strategies.
The three main features of this indicator are:
Adaptive Moving Average (AMA): Tracks the trend direction with a dynamic smoothing factor that adjusts based on market volatility. The AMA line changes color based on trend strength (green for bullish, red for bearish). I manually compute the Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) using a smoothing factor derived from the market's efficiency ratio. I have used fastLength and slowLength to control the responsiveness of the AMA.
Volatility Bands: Plots upper and lower bands around the AMA line, indicating price volatility. These bands dynamically adjust based on ATR, with a color gradient that changes intensity based on market volatility.
Momentum Circles: Positive momentum (ROC above the threshold) is shown as a green circle below the bar, while negative momentum is marked by a red circle above the bar. This makes it easy to spot momentum shifts.
The green dots in the indicator represent positive momentum. Specifically, they are displayed when the Rate of Change (ROC) of the price exceeds a predefined threshold (set as threshold in the input). This indicates that the market is experiencing upward price movement at a rate faster than the defined threshold.
How it works:
Rate of Change (ROC) measures the percentage change in price over a specified period (in this case, 14 periods).
When the ROC is greater than the set threshold (1.5 by default), a green circle (dot) is plotted below the price bar to signal that there is significant positive momentum.
This can be seen as an indicator of bullish momentum, where price is increasing at a relatively fast pace compared to previous periods.
The green dots help you spot when the price is moving upward rapidly, potentially signaling a good time to enter a long position or watch for further price action.
NOTE: It is vice versa for red dots.

Intraday Momentum for Volatile Stocks 29.09The strategy targets intraday momentum breakouts in volatile stocks when the broader market (Nifty) is in an uptrend. It enters long positions when stocks move significantly above their daily opening price with sufficient volume confirmation, then manages the trade using dynamic ATR-based stops and profit targets.
Entry Conditions
Price Momentum Filter: The stock must move at least 2.5% above its daily opening price, indicating strong bullish momentum. This percentage threshold is customizable and targets gap-up scenarios or strong intraday breakouts.
Volume Confirmation: Daily cumulative volume must exceed the 20-day average volume, ensuring institutional participation and genuine momentum. This prevents false breakouts on low volume.
Market Regime Filter: The Nifty index must be trading above its 50-day SMA, indicating a favorable market environment for momentum trades. This macro filter helps avoid trades during bearish market conditions.
Money Flow Index: MFI must be above 50, confirming buying pressure and positive money flow into the stock. This adds another layer of momentum confirmation.
Time Restriction: Trades are only initiated before 3:00 PM to ensure sufficient time for position management and avoid end-of-day volatility.
Exit Management
ATR Trailing Stop Loss: Uses a 3x ATR multiplier for dynamic stop-loss placement that trails higher highs, protecting profits while giving trades room to breathe. The trailing mechanism locks in gains as the stock moves favorably.
Profit Target: Set at 4x ATR above the entry price, providing a favorable risk-reward ratio based on the stock's volatility characteristics. This adaptive approach adjusts targets based on individual stock behavior.
Position Reset: Both stops and targets reset when not in a position, ensuring fresh calculations for each new trade.
Key Strengths
Volatility Adaptation: The ATR-based approach automatically adjusts risk parameters to match current market volatility levels. Higher volatility stocks get wider stops, while calmer stocks get tighter management.
Multi-Timeframe Filtering: Combines intraday price action with daily volume patterns and market regime analysis for robust signal generation.
Risk Management Focus: The strategy prioritizes capital preservation through systematic stop-loss placement and position sizing considerations.
Considerations for NSE Trading
This strategy appears well-suited for NSE intraday momentum trading, particularly for mid-cap and small-cap stocks that exhibit high volatility. The Nifty filter helps align trades with broader market sentiment, which is crucial in the Indian market context where sectoral and index movements strongly influence individual stocks.
The 2.5% threshold above open price is appropriate for volatile NSE stocks, though traders might consider adjusting this parameter based on the specific stocks being traded. The strategy's emphasis on volume confirmation is particularly valuable in the NSE environment where retail participation can create misleading price movements without institutional backin
Custom ATR with Paranormal Bar FilterCustom ATR with Paranormal Bar Filter
Description:
This indicator calculates a custom ATR (Average True Range) by filtering out bars with unusually large or small price ranges. It helps provide a more accurate measure of market volatility by ignoring outliers.
How it works:
True Range Calculation:
The price range for each bar is calculated.
Bars with ranges much larger or smaller than typical are excluded.
Filtered ATR:
The ATR is calculated using only the bars that pass the filter.
Current Bar Progress:
Measures how much the current bar has moved compared to the filtered ATR, based on the difference between its opening and closing prices.
Display:
A line represents the filtered ATR.
A table shows the filtered ATR, the current bar's range, and its progress relative to the ATR.
Input Settings:
ATR Period: Number of bars used to calculate the ATR.
Filter Window: Number of recent bars used to determine the typical range.
Filter Threshold: Sensitivity of the filter. A higher value allows more bars to pass.
How to Use:
Monitor Volatility:
Use the filtered ATR to understand market volatility while ignoring unusual price movements.
Track Current Bar Progress:
See how much of the ATR the current bar has completed.
Adjust Filter Settings:
Fine-tune the filter to match your trading timeframe and strategy.
This indicator is designed for traders who want to track market volatility without being misled by extreme outlier bars.
imbalances bandsThis indicator is designed to identify imbalances based on the calculation of the average of the highest and lowest prices. It forms a kind of band indicating correction points.
This indicator uses a total of 4 modified VWAPs, separated into 2 options that the user can activate or deactivate by checking or unchecking the options "Show imbalances bands VWAP 1" or "Show imbalances bands VWAP 2".
Let's talk about the first option, "Show imbalances bands VWAP 1". This displays 2 modified VWAPs on the screen, one in green and one in red, forming a kind of band that indicates possible points of imbalance in the market, signaling increased volatility between buying and selling. When the price tests the bands, it can be useful as there is a probability of a correction in the movement.
This can be particularly useful for those who trade using a scalping style, as it helps analyze when the price tests the bands. It can also be beneficial for trend traders because when the price tests one of the bands, there is a probability of a movement correction.
Now let's talk about the option "Show imbalances bands VWAP 2". It contains two modified VWAPs, one in purple and one in blue, which also form a kind of band. These bands also indicate the probability of a movement correction.
What is the difference between the Show imbalances bands VWAP 1 option and the Show imbalances bands VWAP 2 option?
The option "Show imbalances bands VWAP 2" consists of 2 modified volume-weighted moving averages that have a calculation checking the increase in volatility between the highest and lowest prices. One modified moving average is in purple, and the other modified moving average is in blue, forming a kind of two modified VWAPs.
The option "Show Imbalance Bands VWAP 1" consists of two modified moving averages using the absolute difference between the closing price and the moving average instead of the volume. This is particularly useful for assets where the volume is not a good indicator or is not available.
The option "Show Imbalance Bands VWAP 1" also has a calculation that checks for increased volatility between the highest and lowest prices. It features two modified moving averages, one in green and one in red.
This indicator can be adjusted according to the preferences and characteristics of the specific asset or market. It provides clear visual information and can be used as a complementary tool for technical analysis in trading strategies.
and Interesting period 5,20,50,80,200
Interesting imbalance setting 2.4, 3.3 ,4.2
Analysis Ideas: If you are following a trend, you can use this indicator to analyze how the price behaves around the bands. Since the imbalance bands indicate a probability of correction, it can be useful for identifying protection points or moments to be cautious, as there might be a probability of increased volatility.
Analysis Ideas2:For those trading using a scalping style, observe how the price behaves when it tests the imbalance band, as there may be a probability of increased volatility.
Please note that this indicator is designed for educational and informational purposes. Always conduct your own analysis and consider risk management strategies before making trading decisions.
Price over VolumeVersion 0.1
Price over Volume Indicator
Description
The Price over Volume indicator calculates the ratio of the closing price to the trading volume (price / volume) for the current chart's symbol and displays it as a histogram in a separate pane. A horizontal zero line is included as a reference to highlight positive and negative values or periods of undefined data (e.g., zero volume). The indicator is designed to help traders analyze the relationship between price movements and trading volume.
Insights Provided
Price-Volume Dynamics: The indicator shows how price per unit of volume fluctuates, offering insights into market efficiency and liquidity. High ratios may indicate low volume relative to price, suggesting potential volatility or thin markets, while low ratios may reflect high volume supporting price stability.
Trend and Momentum Analysis: Spikes or trends in the price-to-volume ratio can signal significant market events, such as buying/selling pressure or low liquidity periods, helping traders identify potential reversals or continuations.
Zero Line Reference: The zero line helps identify periods where the ratio is undefined (e.g., zero volume) or negative (if applicable), aiding in the interpretation of market conditions.
Volume Sensitivity: By normalizing price by volume, the indicator highlights how volume influences price movements, which is useful for assessing the strength of trends or breakouts.
How to Use
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart with price and volume data (e.g., stocks, cryptocurrencies like BINANCE:BTCUSDT). The histogram appears in a separate pane below the main chart.
Interpretation :
High Ratios: Indicate low trading volume relative to price, potentially signaling overbought conditions or low liquidity. Use with caution in thin markets.
Low Ratios: Suggest high volume supporting price levels, indicating stronger market participation or stability.
Spikes: Watch for sudden increases in the ratio, which may precede volatility or significant price moves.
Zero Line: Periods where the histogram is absent (due to zero volume) indicate no trading activity, useful for identifying illiquid periods.
Trading Applications:
Confirmation Tool: Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm trend strength. A rising price-to-volume ratio with a price uptrend may indicate weakening volume support, suggesting a potential reversal.
Volume Analysis: Use alongside volume-based indicators (e.g., OBV, VWAP) to assess whether price movements are backed by sufficient volume.
Scalping/Day Trading: Monitor intraday ratio changes to identify high-impact periods with low volume, which may offer short-term trading opportunities.
Customization: Adjust the histogram color or style (e.g., change to line plot) via the Pine Editor to suit your preferences. Consider adding smoothing (e.g., moving average) for cleaner signals.
Notes
Data Requirements: Ensure the chart’s symbol has valid volume data. Symbols with no volume (e.g., some forex pairs) will result in undefined (na) values.
Limitations: The indicator is sensitive to zero-volume periods, which may cause gaps in the histogram. Use on high-liquidity symbols for best results.
Performance: Lightweight and efficient, suitable for all timeframes.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to understand the interplay between price and volume, offering a unique perspective on market dynamics for informed trading decisions.

ALT - ATR Percent Rank🔵 Description
The "ALT - ATR Percent Rank" indicator is a financial analysis tool designed to assess the volatility of an asset relative to its historical behavior, using the Average True Range (ATR) metric.
🔵 Purpose
The indicator aims to provide traders with insights into how the current volatility of an asset compares to its past levels. By evaluating the Percent Rank of the ATR, traders can determine if the current ATR value is high or low in the context of a specified historical period.
🔵 Functionality
• Asset and Timeframe Flexibility
Selectable Asset: Users can choose to apply the indicator to a different asset than the one currently displayed on the chart. This is particularly useful for comparing the volatility of multiple assets without switching charts.
Customizable Timeframe: The indicator can be set to analyze the ATR on different timeframes, regardless of the chart's current timeframe. This allows for multi-timeframe analysis without changing the view of the current chart.
• ATR Calculation
The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated over a user-defined number of bars (ATR Length). ATR is a commonly used measure of volatility that captures the degree of price movement per bar.
REF: Average True Range (ATR) Calculation
• Percent Rank Analysis
The indicator computes the Percent Rank of the current ATR value based on a specified lookback period (Percent Rank Lookback). This tells users how the current ATR compares to ATR values over the recent past, expressed as a percentile. For example, a Percent Rank of 90% indicates that the current ATR is higher than 90% of its values over the chosen lookback period, suggesting higher volatility.
• Visualization
The result is plotted as a line on a separate panel below the main trading chart, making it easy to view changes in volatility relative to historical levels.
🔵 Use Cases
• Trend Confirmation
Traders might use the indicator to confirm if a price movement is backed by significant volatility changes, which could validate the strength of a trend.
• Risk Management
Understanding when an asset is experiencing unusually high or low volatility could help in adjusting trading strategies, such as altering position sizes or setting stop-loss orders.
• Comparative Analysis
By enabling the analysis of different assets or timeframes, traders can perform comparative volatility studies, which can be essential in portfolio management or when seeking diversification opportunities.
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders who rely on volatility analysis to make informed trading decisions, providing a clear, quantifiable measure of how current market conditions compare to historical data.
Bollinger Bands with 3SD and BUY-SELL Basis*The white lines(both inner and outer ones) are from original Bollinger Bands (calculated as SMA20+SD and SMA20-SD).
*Inner lines are calculated with 2 Standard Deviation ( as classical Bollinger Bands ) and outer ones are with 3 Standard Deviation.
*3 SD calculation is important because, it is useful to investigate further the volatility.
*Classical Bollinger Bands Basis is included in calculations to obtain the bands, but the basis isn't plotted (SMA20).
*For Basis, a-13 bar EMA line is added which tells "BUY" when GREEN, and which tells "SELL" when RED.
*Generally, this code is good to further investigate the volatility especially by the help of 3SD lines. It is particularly important for crypto currencies which are generally highly volatile. On the other hand, the basis will tell BUY-SELL points and BUY-SELL points can be confirmed further, by investigating classical Bollinger Bands rules and anticipate about the volatility.
Real VIXReal VIX is showing us what we can expect from the volatility index. When Real VIX is falling, that means that market volatility will fall and there will be good uptrend.
When Real VIX is rising, that means that volatility will rise, and you can expect huge market movements
This code calculates the "Real VIX" indicator, which is a measure of market volatility. It uses data from various sources, including the High Yield Corporate Bond Index (HYG), the US Dollar Index (DXY), and various US Treasury bond yields, as well as the USDCAD currency pair.
The formula for Real VIX is complex, but it essentially calculates the difference between the current value of the VIX (a commonly used measure of market volatility) and a smoothed version of the VIX. This difference is then plotted on a chart, with green indicating that the market is less volatile than the smoothed version of the VIX suggests, and red indicating that the market is more volatile than expected.
The code also includes a warning for when the Real VIX falls below zero, which suggests that a recession may be on the horizon.
PumpC ATR Line LevelsPumpC ATR Line Levels
Overview
PumpC ATR Line Levels is a volatility-based indicator that projects potential expansion levels from the previous session’s close using the Average True Range (ATR).

Keep charts clean and avoid non-standard bar types when publishing.
Multi-Crypto Principal Component AnalysisVersion 0.2
## 📌 Multi-Crypto Principal Component Analysis (PCA) — Indicator Summary
### 🎯 Purpose
This indicator identifies **cryptocurrency assets that are behaving differently** from the rest of the market, using a simplified approach inspired by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). It’s designed to help traders spot **cross-market divergences**, detect outliers, and improve asset selection and correlation-based strategies.
### ⚙️ How It Works
The indicator analyzes the **log returns** of up to 7 user-defined assets over a configurable lookback period (default: 100 bars). It computes the **z-score** (standardized deviation) for each asset’s return series and compares it against the average behavior of the group.
If an asset’s behavior deviates significantly (beyond a threshold of 1.5 standard deviations), it’s flagged as an **outlier**.
- Each outlier is plotted as a **colored dot horizontally spaced** above the price bar
- Up to **3 dots per bar** are shown for visual clarity
This PCA-style detection works in real time, directly on the chart, and gives you a quick overview of which assets are breaking correlation.
### 🔧 Inputs
- 🕒 **Lookback Period**: Number of bars to analyze (default: 100)
- 🔢 **Assets 1–7**: Choose any 7 crypto symbols from any exchange
- 🎨 **Colors**: Predefined per asset (e.g. BTCUSDT = red, ETHUSDT = yellow)
- 📈 **Threshold**: Internal (1.5 std dev); adjustable in code if needed
### 📊 Outputs
- 🟢 Dots above candles representing assets that are acting as outliers
- 🧠 Real-time clustering insight based on statistical deviation
- 🧭 Spatially spaced dots to avoid visual overlap when multiple outliers appear
### ⚠️ Limitations
- This is a **PCA-inspired approximation**, not true matrix-based PCA
- It does **not compute principal components or eigenvectors**
- Sensitivity may vary with asset volatility or sparse trading data
- Real PCA requires external tools like Python or R for full dimensional analysis
This tool is ideal for traders who want real-time crypto correlation insights without needing external data science platforms. It’s lightweight, fast, and highly visual — and gives you a powerful lens into market dislocations across multiple assets.
RSI + ADX + ATR 18-01-25Combining RSI (Relative Strength Index), ADX (Average Directional Index), and ATR (Average True Range) creates a synergistic approach to technical analysis. This powerful trio covers momentum, trend strength, and volatility, providing comprehensive insights into market conditions. Here's a deeper exploration of their combined results:
1. Momentum Assessment with RSI
Purpose: RSI measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes to determine overbought or oversold levels.
Benefit in Combination:
When RSI indicates overbought (above 70) or oversold (below 30) levels, it signals a potential reversal or correction.
However, these signals can be false in strongly trending markets, which is why ADX is used alongside it.
2. Trend Strength Confirmation with ADX
Purpose: ADX confirms the presence and strength of a trend.
Benefit in Combination:
If RSI shows a potential reversal but ADX indicates a strong trend (above 25), the trend is likely to continue, and RSI signals may need to be approached with caution.
Conversely, if ADX is below 20 (weak trend), RSI signals are more likely to indicate genuine reversals, as the market lacks a strong directional push.
3. Volatility Analysis with ATR
Purpose: ATR evaluates the level of price volatility.
Benefit in Combination:
High ATR values indicate volatile conditions where prices can move significantly; this helps in setting wider stop-loss levels to avoid premature exits.
Low ATR values suggest quieter markets, where tighter stop-losses and profit targets are more suitable.
[BMAX] Averan BB(ENGLISH)
Averan is an indicator based on ADR, which shows the volatility of the market based on high-low prices on the selected timeframe. The difference between Averan and ATR is that Averan does not consider GAPs, so it basically consider the actual size of the candles.
This indicator also includes a standard deviation representation, the same as the top portion of the bollinger bands to present the variance of the volatility.
(PORTUGUÊS)
Averan é um indicador baseado no ADR, que apresenta a volatilidade do mercado baseado em máximas e mínimas do tempo gráfico escolhido. A diferença do Averan para o ATR é que o Averan não considera GAPs, portanto é basicamente calculado pelo real tamanho dos candles.
Este indicador também inclui a representação do desvio padrão, representado da mesma maneira que a banda superior do Bollinger Bands, apresentando portanto a variância da volatilidade.
VIX/VIX3M Ratio計算並顯示 CBOE:VIX 和 CBOE:VIX3M 的比率，幫助交易者評估市場的波動性。
當比率超過設定的高水平或低於低水平時，指標將顯示為紅色，提示潛在的市場異常情況。
Calculates and displays the ratio of CBOE:VIX to CBOE:VIX3M, helping traders assess market volatility.
When the ratio exceeds the set high level or falls below the low level, the indicator will be displayed in red, signaling potential market anomalies.
Bar Width Percent RankA simple script to calculate and show the current percent rank of the absolute open - close (candle bar width) over a given period.
Useful to determine the current volatility.
A higher value indicates that the current period is having a big swing.
No SurpriseNever be surprised about a sudden price move. Just a twist on B.bands, really.
Basically, how big of a price change you should expect based on recent volatility.
Check out the " Surprise " indicator to verify how surprised we were in the past.
IV Rank (tasty-style) — VIXFix / HV ProxyIV Rank (tasty-style) — VIXFix / HV Proxy
Overview
This indicator replicates tastytrade’s IV Rank calculation—but built entirely inside TradingView.
Because TradingView does not expose live option-chain implied volatility, the script lets you choose between two widely used price-based IV proxies:
VIXFix (Williams VIX Fix): a fast-reacting volatility estimate derived from price extremes.
HV(30): 30-day annualized historical volatility of daily log returns.
The goal is to approximate the “rich vs. cheap” option volatility environment that traders use to decide whether to sell or buy premium.
Formula
IV Rank answers the question: Where is current implied volatility relative to its own 1-year range?

IVcurrent: Current value of the chosen IV proxy.
IV1yHigh/Low: Highest and lowest proxy values over the user-defined lookback (default 252 trading days ≈ 1 year).
IVR = 0 → Current IV equals its 1-year low
IVR = 100 → Current IV equals its 1-year high
IVR ≈ 50 → Current IV sits mid-range
How to Use
High IV Rank (≥50–60%)
Options are relatively expensive → short-premium strategies (credit spreads, iron condors, straddles) may be more attractive.
Low IV Rank (≤20%)
Options are relatively cheap → long-premium strategies (debit spreads, calendars, diagonals) may offer better risk/reward.
Combine with your own analysis, liquidity checks, and risk management.
Inputs & Customization
IV Source: Choose “VIXFix” or “HV(30)” as the volatility proxy.
IVR Lookback: Rolling window for 1-year high/low (default 252 trading days).
VIXFix Parameters: Length and stdev multiplier to fine-tune sensitivity.
Info Label: Optional on-chart label displays current IV proxy, 1-year high/low, and IV Rank.
Alerts: Optional alerts when IVR crosses 50, falls below 20, or rises above 80.
Notes & Limitations
This indicator does not pull real option-chain IV.
It provides a close structural analogue to tastytrade’s IV Rank using price-derived proxies for markets where options data is not directly available.
For live option IV, use broker platforms or third-party data feeds alongside this script.

VIX SPX & XJOVix is a volatility indicator that lets traders know when to be cautious.
This indicator shows the volatility for the US market as well as the Australian market on seperate lines.
Blue lines are Vix for SPX (S&P 500)
If blue indicator goes above 30, high volatility is present and caution should be taken.
Green lines are Vix for XJO (ASX 200)
If green indicator goes above 20, high volatility is present and caution should be taken.
Sortino RatioThe Sortino ratio is a variation of the Sharpe ratio that differentiates harmful volatility from total overall volatility using the asset's standard deviation of negative portfolio returns—downside deviation—instead of the total standard deviation of portfolio returns. The Sortino ratio takes an asset or portfolio's return and subtracts the risk-free rate and then divides that amount by the asset's downside deviation. The ratio was named after Frank A. Sortino.
What Can the Sortino Ratio Tell You?
The Sortino ratio is useful for investors, analysts, and portfolio managers to evaluate an investment's return for a given level of bad risk. Since this ratio uses only the downside deviation as its risk measure, it addresses the problem of using total risk, or standard deviation, which is important because upside volatility is beneficial to investors and isn't a factor most investors worry about.
The Difference Between the Sortino Ratio and the Sharpe Ratio
The Sortino ratio improves upon the Sharpe ratio by isolating downside or negative volatility from total volatility by dividing excess return by the downside deviation instead of the total standard deviation of a portfolio or asset.
The Sharpe ratio punishes the investment for good risk, which provides positive returns for investors. However, determining which ratio to use depends on whether the investor wants to focus on total or standard deviation or just downside deviation.
CONCLUSION: THE HIGHER THE RATIO, THE BETTER IT IS.

VCP + TTM Squeeze Breakout Detection ToolThis open-source script combines two powerful concepts into a single breakout detection tool:
1. **VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern)**
Based on Mark Minervini’s principle of structured volatility contraction.
The script identifies low ATR environments combined with a strong trend filter using EMA 50, EMA 100, and EMA 200.
A pivot high is fixed using a rolling high from the last X candles.
2. **TTM Squeeze (inspired by Beardy_Fred's Pro version)**
This module compares Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels.
When the Bollinger Bands fit inside the Keltner Channels, it signals volatility compression.
The script classifies the squeeze intensity into four stages using colored dots:
- **Green:** No squeeze
- **Black:** Light compression
- **Red:** Medium compression
- **Orange:** Strong compression
A linear momentum oscillator adds directional confirmation by plotting aqua bars above price if momentum is positive.

### **Signal Logic**
- **Yellow Dots (Setup Potential)**
Appear when VCP criteria are met **and** either momentum is bearish or the squeeze is still active (non-green).
- **Green Dots (Breakout Active)**
Appear only when:
- Price breaks above pivot high
- EMA filter is valid
- Squeeze has resolved (green)
- Volume is higher than the previous bar
- Momentum is positive
Breakout status is removed once volume AND true range drop below their respective short-term averages.

### **Visual Elements**
- 3 EMA Lines: EMA 50 (blue), EMA 100 (orange), EMA 200 (red)
- Pivot line (red), based on recent high
- Colored squeeze state (dots at zero line)
- Yellow dots (pre-breakout tension)
- Green dots (confirmed breakout)
- Aqua bars above price (momentum strength)
