Low Volatility Breakout in Trend
█ OVERVIEW
"Low Volatility Breakout in Trend" is a technical analysis tool that identifies periods of low-volatility consolidation within an ongoing trend and signals potential breakouts aligned with the trend's direction. The indicator detects trends using a simple moving average (SMA) of price, identifies consolidation zones based on the size of candle bodies, and displays the percentage change in volume (volume delta) at the breakout moment.
█ CONCEPTS
The core idea of the indicator is to pinpoint moments where traders can join an ongoing trend by capitalizing on breakouts from consolidation zones, supported by additional information such as volume delta. It provides clear visualizations of trends, consolidation zones, and breakout signals to facilitate trading decisions.
Why Use It?
* Breakout Identification: The indicator locates low-volatility consolidation zones (measured by the size of individual candle bodies, not the price range of the consolidation) and signals breakouts, enabling traders to join the trend at key moments.
* Volume Analysis: Displays the percentage change in volume (delta) relative to its simple moving average, providing insight into market activity rather than acting as a signal filter.
* Visual Clarity: Colored trend lines, consolidation boxes (drawn only after the breakout candle closes, not on subsequent candles), and volume delta labels enable quick chart analysis.
* Flexibility: Adjustable parameters, such as the volatility window length or SMA period, allow customization for various trading strategies and markets.
How It Works
* Trend Detection: The indicator calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of price (default: based on the midpoint of high/low) and creates dynamic trend bands, offset by a percentage of the average candle height (band scaling). A price above the upper band signals an uptrend, while a price below the lower band indicates a downtrend. Trend changes occur not when the price crosses the SMA but when it crosses above the upper band or below the lower band (offset by the average candle height multiplied by the scaling factor).
* Consolidation Identification: Identifies low-volatility zones when the candle body size is smaller than the average body size over a specified period (default: 20 candles) multiplied by a volatility threshold — the maximum allowable body size as a percentage of the average body (e.g., 2 means the candle body must be less than twice the average body to be considered low-volatility).
* Breakout Signals: A breakout occurs when the candle body exceeds the volatility threshold, is larger than the maximum body in the consolidation, and aligns with the trend direction (bullish in an uptrend, bearish in a downtrend).
* Visualization: Draws a trend line with a gradient, consolidation boxes (appearing only after the breakout candle closes, marking the consolidation zone), and volume delta labels. Optionally displays breakout signal arrows.
* Signals and Alerts: The indicator generates signals for bullish and bearish breakouts, including the volume delta percentage. Alerts are an additional feature that can be enabled for notifications.
Settings and Customization
* Volatility Window: Length of the period for calculating the average candle body size (default: 20).
* Volatility Threshold: Maximum candle body size as a percentage of the average body (default: 2).
* Minimum Consolidation Bars: Number of candles required for a consolidation (default: 10).
* SMA Length for Trend: Period of the SMA for trend detection (default: 100).
* Band Scaling: Offset of trend bands as a percentage of the average candle height (default: 250%), determining the distance from the SMA.
* Visualization Options: Enable/disable consolidation boxes (Show Consolidation Boxes, drawn after the breakout candle closes), volume delta labels (Show Volume Delta Labels), and breakout signals (Show Breakout Signals, e.g., triangles).
* Colors: Customize colors for the trend line, consolidation boxes, and volume delta labels.
█ OTHER SECTIONS
Usage Examples
* Joining an Uptrend: When the price breaks out of a consolidation in an uptrend with a volume delta of +50%, open a long position; the signal is stronger if the breakout candle surpasses a local high.
* Avoiding False Breakouts: Ignore breakout signals with low volume delta (e.g., below 0%) and combine the indicator with other tools (e.g., support/resistance levels or oscillators) to confirm moves in low-activity zones.
Notes for Users
* On markets that do not provide volume data, the indicator will not display volume delta — disable volume labels and enable breakout signals (e.g., triangles) instead.
* Adjust parameters to suit the market's characteristics to minimize noise.
* Combine with other tools, such as Fibonacci levels or oscillators, for greater precision.
Hawkes Volatility Exit IndicatorOverview
The Hawkes Volatility Exit Indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders capitalize on volatility breakouts and exit positions when momentum fades. Built on the Hawkes process, it models volatility clustering to identify optimal entry points after quiet periods and exit signals during volatility cooling. Designed to be helpful for swing traders and trend followers across markets like stocks, forex, and crypto.
Key Features Volatility-Based Entries: Detects breakouts when volatility spikes above the 95th percentile (adjustable) after quiet periods (below 5th percentile).
This indicator is probably better on exits than entries.
Smart Exit Signals: Triggers exits when volatility drops below a customizable threshold (default: 30th percentile) after a minimum hold period.
Hawkes Process: Uses a decay-based model (kappa) to capture volatility clustering, making it responsive to market dynamics.
Visual Clarity: Includes a volatility line, exit threshold, percentile bands, and intuitive markers (triangles for entries, X for exits).
Status Table: Displays real-time data on position (LONG/SHORT/FLAT), volatility regime (HIGH/LOW/NORMAL), bars held, and exit readiness.
Customizable Alerts: Set alerts for breakouts and exits to stay on top of trading opportunities.
How It Works Quiet Periods: Identifies low volatility (below 5th percentile) that often precede significant moves.
Breakout Entries: Signals bullish (triangle up) or bearish (triangle down) entries when volatility spikes post-quiet period.
Exit Signals: Suggests exiting when volatility cools below the exit threshold after a minimum hold (default: 3 bars).
Visuals & Table: Tracks volatility, position status, and signals via lines, shaded zones, and a detailed status table.
Settings
Hawkes Kappa (0.1): Adjusts volatility decay (lower = smoother, higher = more sensitive).
Volatility Lookback (168): Sets the period for percentile calculations.
ATR Periods (14): Normalizes volatility using Average True Range.
Breakout Threshold (95%): Volatility percentile for entries.
Exit Threshold (30%): Volatility percentile for exits.
Quiet Threshold (5%): Defines quiet periods.
Minimum Hold Bars (3): Ensures positions are held before exiting.
Alerts: Enable/disable breakout and exit alerts.
How to Use
Entries: Look for triangle markers (up for long, down for short) and confirm with the status table showing "ENTRY" and "LONG"/"SHORT."
Exits: Exit on X cross markers when the status table shows "EXIT" and "Exit Ready: YES."
Monitoring: Use the status table to track position, bars held, and volatility regime (HIGH/LOW/NORMAL).
Combine: Pair with price action, support/resistance, or other indicators for better context.
Tips : Adjust thresholds for your market: lower breakout thresholds for more signals, higher exit thresholds for earlier exits.
Test on your asset to ensure compatibility (best for markets with volatility clustering).
Use alerts to automate signal detection.
Limitations Requires sufficient data (default: 168 bars) for reliable signals. Check "Data Status" in the table.
Focuses on volatility, not price direction—combine with trend tools.
May lag slightly due to the smoothing nature of the Hawkes process.
Why Use It?
The Hawkes Volatility Exit Indicator offers a unique, data-driven approach to timing trades based on volatility dynamics. Its clear visuals, customizable settings, and real-time status table make it a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. Try it to catch breakouts and exit with precision!
This indicator is based on neurotrader888's python repo. All credit to him. All mistakes mine.

Market Volatility and Price Momentum @MaxMaserati 2.0# Market Volatility and Price Momentum MaxMaserati 2.0 (MVPM 2.0)
## Overview
MVPM 2.0 is a premium multi-factor technical analysis system that combines momentum evaluation, volatility band analysis, trend filtering, and price action to identify high-probability trading opportunities. This advanced indicator uses a proprietary algorithm to measure market sentiment through four distinct technical components, providing clear visual signals through gradient bar coloring and special equilibrium markers.
## Key Features
### Multi-Factor Analysis System
The indicator evaluates four critical market components:
- **Momentum (M)**: Analyzes the relationship between momentum lines to detect directional bias
- **Volatility (V)**: Measures price position relative to adaptive volatility bands
- **Trend (T)**: Uses a sophisticated two-pole filter to determine trend direction
- **Price Action (P)**: Tracks price movement relative to momentum lines
### Innovative Tick-Based Calculation
- **Mathematical Precision**: Uses market-relevant tick size (0.25) as the foundational unit for indicator calculations
- **Configurable Tick Separation**: Adjust the number of ticks between momentum and signal lines (0.1-10.0) to fine-tune sensitivity
- **Adaptive Calibration**: Lower tick values create earlier, more sensitive signals; higher values provide stronger confirmation
- **Market-Specific Optimization**: Perfect for customizing across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility conditions
- **Technical Edge**: The tick-based approach ensures mathematically precise signals that respect each market's natural price structure
### Dual Volatility Band Modes
- **Long Term Trend Mode**: Volatility bands calculated independently from momentum lines, providing broader market context
- **Short Term Trend Mode**: Volatility bands anchored to momentum signal line, offering more precise trading ranges
### Visual Signals
- **Color-Gradient Bars**: Displays signal strength (1-4) through color intensity
- Deeper green/lime: Strong bullish conviction (more factors aligned)
- Deeper red: Strong bearish conviction (more factors aligned)
- Yellow: Market equilibrium (equal bullish and bearish factors)
- Black Circle Markers**: Special signals that appear at equilibrium of price which means ranging/consolidation/pause points
### Customizable Information Table
- **Fully Configurable Display**: Toggle individual rows on/off
- **Positioning & Sizing**: Adjust table location and size to fit your chart layout
## Price Position Interpretation
### Directional Bias Determination
- **Strong Bullish**: Price above all indicator lines (momentum, signal, and volatility bands)
- **Strong Bearish**: Price below all indicator lines
- **Consolidation/Neutral**: Price between indicator lines, especially within volatility bands
### Market Participation Assessment
- **Inside Volatility Bands**: Insufficient market participants to establish clear direction
- **Short-Term Volatility Mode Advantage**: More clearly defines the neutral zone where price is caught between momentum lines and volatility bands
- **Consolidation Identification**: When price fluctuates between all indicator lines, market is seeking equilibrium
Trading Strategies
Momentum Breakouts
Wait for price to break above/below all the lines with a body close. Green for Bullish and Red for Bearish
For Short Term Mode:
Look for the first retest of any of the indicator lines (momentum or signal lines)
Wait for a reaction with body close candle (a candle that remains green/red is significantly more reliable)
Confirm that the reaction candle's body closes below/above all indicator lines
Enter after this precise line test and reaction sequence
Bearish Example
Bullish example
For Long Term Mode:
Look for the first retest of the Bullish/bearish volatility lines without closing above/below these lines
Wait for a reaction with body close candle (a candle that remains green/red is significantly more reliable)
Confirm that the reaction candle's body closes below/above all indicator lines
Enter after this precise volatility band test and reaction sequence.
Bearish example
Bullish Example
NO ENTRY EXAMPLE
Volatility Band Mean Reversion
Identify when price is near or beyond volatility bands
Look for reversal candlestick patterns or divergence
Enter when price begins moving back toward momentum lines
Exit when price reaches the opposite volatility band or momentum line
Post-Breakout Continuation
After price crosses all indicator lines, wait for a pullback
Enter when price retests but respects any indicator line as support/resistance
Confirm with multi-factor alignment (3-4 strength) in the breakout direction
Trail stops behind retested indicator lines as trade progresses
Tick Optimization Strategy
Start with default tick separation (1.0)
For ranging markets: Increase tick separation (2.0-3.0) to reduce false signals
For trending markets: Decrease tick separation (0.5-0.8) for earlier entries
Fine-tune tick values for each specific instrument based on its volatility profile
Conclusion
MVPM 2.0 provides traders with a comprehensive market analysis system that identifies high-probability setups through multi-factor confirmation. The groundbreaking tick-based calculation method, dual volatility band modes, and price position analysis work together to create a powerful edge in any market condition.
By understanding the relationships between price and the indicator's lines, traders can precisely identify insufficient market participation zones, optimal breakout points, and high-probability continuation setups. The configurable tick separation feature allows for unprecedented customization, making this indicator adaptable to any trading style, instrument, or timeframe.
Whether you're a trend trader, reversal hunter, or breakout specialist, MVPM 2.0 delivers the technical precision and visual clarity needed for consistent trading performance across all market conditions.

This version uses daily intervals to track broader volatility waves, highlight the DTT framework, and pinpoint premium/discount areas across swing cycles. Powered by Time-driven data insights, this tool assists traders in anticipating expansions, understanding long-range Time distortions, and positioning around statistically significant zones in the higher-Time frame narrative.
Key Features:
Time-Based Models and Macro Volatility Awareness:
Automatically populates the chart with DTT Yearly Time Models (4H, Daily), engineered to spotlight macro volatility events across broader market sessions. Helps swing traders identify potential inflection points, reversals, or trend continuation zones.
Average Model Range Probability (AMRP):
Measure the average volatility expected over higher Time-based models. Use AMRP Levels and Projections to assess the range potential of each Yearly Model Time window—vital for monitoring reversals, breakouts, or continuation plays across several sessions or weeks.
Digital Root Candles and HTF Liquidity Draws:
For DTT Yearly Models, the Digital Root Candles are calculated as a specific Daily candle, and can be viewed on the Daily or 4H Timeframe. Analysts can frame premium and discount zones, based on where price is trading in relation to the current or previous model's Digital Roots. These areas also act as anchors for institutional price movement, often serving as bases for accumulation/distribution periods or large impulse moves.
Extended Visualization:
Track and project prior model ranges (high, low, equilibrium) into the current swing window. This helps visualize macro support/resistance , range expansion, failure zones, and price gravitation levels for longer-term trade planning.
Lookback Periods and Model Count
Utilize adjustable lookback periods to control the number of past DTT Yearly Models displayed—ideal for swing traders and quarterly outlooks. Whether you’re reviewing one yearly model to focus on the present range or several months’ worth of data for backtesting and confluence, this feature keeps charts clean, structured, and aligned with your preferred historical perspective.
By tailoring how many previous Time-based models appear on the chart, traders can better visualize and backtest repeated behaviors, major volatility clusters, and how key levels evolve over Time.
Detailed Data Table:
View statistical AMRP data for multiple DTT Yearly Models in real-Time. The data table helps confirm whether current price movement exceeds, respects, or fails to reach historical volatility ranges—key for analyzing market compression or expansion phases.
Customization Options:
Toggle inner Time interval, calculate AMRP utilizing a custom model lookback, and display styles (solid/dotted lines), including color coordination per drawing. Easily customize your charts and settings to fit your swing trading system or macro analysis.
How Swing Traders Can Use DTT Yearly Volatility Grid Effectively
Identify Swing Premium and Discount Zones:
Use Root Candles and Yearly Time Model AMRP Zones to evaluate where price is positioned in the current Time Model. Using this tool, traders can plan trades with a longer term horizon for a minimum of 1 to 2-weeks or manage entries/exits around market structure shifts and liquidity pools
Expect Macro Volatility Shifts:
Use the HTF models to forecast when and which volatility models are historically known to create larger market impulses . These tools help spot periods of potential exhaustion or breakout, especially near key economic releases, quarterly closes , or macro liquidity zones .
Avoid Low Volatility Consolidations:
AMRP helps you detect when the market is compressing or coiling within a DTT Yearly Model. If price is trading between Digital Root Candles or the AMRP zones, analysts are likely to notice periods of consolidation, and the inability to reach their historical volatility averages.
Usage Guidance:
Add DTT Yearly Volatility Grid (NINE/ANARR) to your TradingView chart.
Make sure to be on the 4H, or Daily Timeframes depending on your asset class and analysis.
Use the DTT Model elements and the Data Table to track expansion zones, premium/discount extremes, and model range behavior.

Vola2vola volatility Trade & TrendHello everyone!
For those who remember Vola2vola volatility Trade & Trend script, we are excited to bring it back within the Myfractalrange Tradingview account!
If you already chose to have access to Vola2vola volatility indicator, this one is using the same formula but instead of having a separate indicator to display Volatility, Volatility has now been converted into price values, which makes it possible to visualise it on the ticker chart directly.
It is more volatile than Myfractalrange Trend but it will give you a complementary view on the asset current situation: Bullish/Bearish with an additional timeframe view named Trade.
As you know, Volatility is very important to assets and many people use it to trade. This tool automate the calculation of the volatility of every asset as well as provide an estimated value of its "Trend" and "Trade" projected onto price.
The idea in this script is to allow users to have an idea of the current volatility regime of the asset he is monitoring: Is its volatility Bullish or Bearish Trend, Bearish or Bullish Trade?
What are the data provided by the script:
- Trade : Trade is generated using an arbitrary and fixed look back period, it acts as a short-term Trend. It will give the user the possibility to know if the asset is still trending up or down short-term. Default colour is black
- Trend: Trend is also generated using an arbitrary and fixed look back period (20 times the one used for Trade), it acts as a longer-term view of the asset trendiness. It works the same way as Trade and will give the user the possibility to know if the volatility of the asset is trending a longer-term basis or not. Default colours are: red when the Trend of the asset is Bearish and green when the Trend of the asset is Bullish
Here are some of the questions you need to know the answer to before using this script:
- How do you define a "Bullish/Bearish Trade"? Volatility is Bullish Trade when Price is above Trade and it is Bearish Trade when Price is below Trade
- How do you define a "Bullish/Bearish Trend"? Volatility is Bullish Trend when Price is above Trend and it is Bearish Trend when Price is below Trend
- On which time frame should i use this script? You want to use the Daily time frame. Although, for short term moves in the volatility space, users could monitor the Hourly timeframe
Understanding the volatility of an asset, along with the bullish or bearish nature of its Trade and Trend, is crucial for investors. Assets that are Bullish Trend and Trade tend to appreciate in value, while those that are Bearish Trend and Trade tend to depreciate. Therefore, we recommend investors be aware of the volatility Trend and Trade situation of the asset they are holding in their portfolio.
Here are the different scenarios that you will encounter on a Daily timeframe and how to interpret them:
- Price is above Trade & Trend: It is the most Bullish set up for the price of an asset
- Price is below Trade & Trend: It is the most Bearish set up for the price of an asset
- Any other set up suggests uncertainty, caution is therefore recommended
These are some cases that you could experience while using this script:
1) Bullish set up on a daily timeframe:
In this example using AAPL, when it is Bullish Trend and Trade on a daily timeframe, the price of AAPL tends to appreciate
2) Bearish set up on a daily timeframe:
In this example using IWM, when it is Bearish Trend and Trade on a daily timeframe, the price of IWM tends to depreciate
The idea of opening this script is to give you another layer of confidence when using our other scripts, especially when using Myfractalrange Trend.

Keltner Channel Volatility FilterOVERVIEW
The Keltner Channel Volatility Filter indicator is a technical indicator that gauges the amount of volatility currently present in the market. The purpose of this indicator is to filter out with-trend signals during ranging/non-trending/consolidating conditions.
CONCEPTS
This indicator assists traders in capitalizing on the assumption that trends are more likely to start during periods of high volatility compared to periods of low volatility . This is because high volatility indicates that there are bigger players currently in the market, which is necessary to begin a sustained trending move.
So, to determine whether the current volatility in the market is low, the KCVF will grey out all bars whose average price is within the Keltner Channels.
If the average price breaks out of the Keltner Channels , it is reasonable to assume we are in a high-volatility period. Thus, this is the ideal time to enter a trending trade due to the assumption that trends are more likely to start during these high-volatility periods.
HOW DO I READ THIS INDICATOR
When the candles are greyed out, don't take any trend trades since the current volatility is less than the usual volatility experienced in the market.
When the candles aren't greyed out, take all valid with-trend trades since the current volatility is greater than the usual volatility experienced in the market.
Garman & Klass Estimator Historical Volatility Bands [Loxx]Garman & Klass Estimator Historical Volatility Bands are constructed using:
Average as the middle line.
Upper and lower bands using the Garman & Klass Estimator Historical Volatility (instead of "regular" Historical Volatility ) for bands calculation.
What is Garman & Klaus Historical Volatility?
Garman Klass is a volatility estimator that incorporates open, low, high, and close prices of a security. The Garman and Klass estimator for estimating historical volatility assumes Brownian motion with zero drift and no opening jumps (i.e. the opening = close of the previous period). This estimator is 7.4 times more efficient than the close-to-close estimator. Garman-Klass volatility extends Parkinson's volatility by taking into account the opening and closing price. As markets are most active during the opening and closing of a trading session, it makes volatility estimation more accurate. Garman and Klass also assumed that the process of price change is a process of continuous diffusion (geometric Brownian motion). However, this assumption has several drawbacks. The method is not robust for opening jumps in price and trend movements. Despite its drawbacks, the Garman-Klass estimator is still more effective than the basic formula since it takes into account not only the price at the beginning and end of the time interval but also intraday price extremums.
The Garman & Klass Estimator is as follows:
GKE = sqrt((Z/n)* sum((0.5*(log(high./low)).^2) - (2*log(2) - 1).*(log(close./open)).^2))
The color of the middle line, unlike the bands colors, has 3 colors. When colors of the bands are the same, then the middle line has the same color, otherwise it's white.

High/Low Historical Volatility Bands [Loxx]High/Low Historical Volatility Bands are constructed using:
Average as the middle line.
Upper and lower bands using the Historical Volatility high/low (instead of "regular" Historical Volatility) for bands calculation.
What is Historical Volatility?
Historical Volatility (HV) is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index over a given period of time. Generally, this measure is calculated by determining the average deviation from the average price of a financial instrument in the given time period. Using standard deviation is the most common, but not the only, way to calculate Historical Volatility .
The higher the Historical Volatility value, the riskier the security. However, that is not necessarily a bad result as risk works both ways - bullish and bearish , i.e: Historical Volatility is not a directional indicator and should not be used as other directional indicators are used. Use to to determine the rising and falling price change volatility .
SH is stock's High price in t day.
SL is stock's Low price in t day.
High/Low Return (xt^HL) is calculated as the natural logarithm of the ratio of a stock's High price to stock's Low price.
Return:
And Parkinson's number: 1 / (4 * math.log(2)) * 252 / n * Σ (n, t =1) {math.log(Ht/Lt)^2}
An important use of the Parkinson's number is the assessment of the distribution prices during the day as well as a better understanding of the market dynamics. Comparing the Parkinson's number and periodically sampled volatility helps traders understand the tendency towards mean reversion in the market as well as the distribution of stop-losses.
The color of the middle line, unlike the bands colors, has 3 colors. When colors of the bands are the same, then the middle line has the same color, otherwise it's white.

[ADOL_]New Volatility Warning
ENG) The indicator is a new version of the volatility warning. Previous volatility warnings acted conservatively.
Therefore, there were intervals that were not shown even when volatility occurred.
Existing volatility warnings had a weakness in that they were only responsible for the time axis, which did not provide direction.
This is an upgraded version that compensates for weaknesses in frequency and direction that the previous version did not present.
It was created according to the basic principle of a chart that converges when it diverges, and when it diverges, it converges.
principle)
Spacing using standard deviation is used. In the section where volatility decreases, candle values converge to the average.
It is defined as the interval in which the separation is reduced. Existing intervals for volatility warnings have a yellow background,
The new section is initially set to a white background. The length of the ascending shot and the descending long is set to 7.
You can freely set the range from 7 to 40 and use it. Recommended values are short-term 7 and long-term 40 values.

GARCH Adaptive Volatility & Momentum Predictor
💡 I. Indicator Concept: GARCH Adaptive Volatility & Momentum Predictor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The GARCH Adaptive Momentum Speed indicator provides a powerful, forward-looking
view on market risk and momentum. Unlike standard moving averages or static
volatility indicators (like ATR), GARCH forecasts the Conditional Volatility (σ_t)
for the next bar, based on the principle of volatility clustering.
The indicator consists of two essential components:
1. GARCH Volatility (Level): The primary forecast of the expected magnitude of
price movement (risk).
2. Vol. Speed (Momentum): The first derivative of the GARCH forecast, showing
whether market risk is accelerating or decelerating. This component is the
main visual signal, displayed as a dynamic histogram.
⚙️ II. Key Features and Adaptive Logic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Dynamic Coefficient Adaptation: The indicator automatically adjusts the GARCH
coefficients (α and β) based on the chart's timeframe (TF):
- Intraday TFs (M1-H4): Uses higher α and lower β for quicker reaction
to recent shocks.
- Daily/Weekly TFs (D, W): Uses lower α and higher β for a smoother,
more persistent long-term forecast.
* Momentum Visualization: The Vol. Speed component is plotted as a dynamic
histogram (fill) that automatically changes color based on the direction of
acceleration (Green for up, Red for down).
📊 III. Interpretation Guide
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- GARCH Volatility (Blue Line): The predicted level of market risk. Use this to
gauge overall position sizing and stop loss width.
- Vol. Speed (Green Histogram): Momentum is ACCELERATING (Risk is increasing rapidly).
A strong signal that momentum is building, often preceding a breakout.
- Vol. Speed (Red Histogram): Momentum is DECELERATING (Risk is contracting).
Indicates momentum is fading, often associated with market consolidation.
🎯 IV. Trading Application
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Breakout Timing: Look for a strong, high GREEN histogram bar. This suggests
the volatility pressure is increasing rapidly, and a breakout may be imminent.
- Consolidation: Small, shrinking RED histogram bars signal that market energy
is draining, ideal for tight consolidation patterns.

Trendilo + Adaptive Volatility Prediction AlgorithmTrendilo + Adaptive Volatility Prediction Algorithm
Credit: Original Trendilo created by dudeowns. This version keeps the original trend logic and adds an algorithmic based volatility predictive method used in other proprietary, high end indicators I had created in the past.
Timeframe and Usage:
Designed for use on the 15m timeframe but can be used on any timeframe. Settings are available for tweaking and fine tuning based on your trading strategy and preferences.
Note: In my testing I've found the 3D to be HIGHLY effective as determining major volatile breakouts after periods of consolidation.
3 Day chart example
What this indicator shows:
• 📈 Trend Line: A simple line plot showing the general direction of price (up, down, or neutral).
• 🎨 Volatility Band: A colored visual layer that shows how tight or loose the market currently is.
Volatility Color Meanings:
• Transparent / Wide = Expanded (normal market movement)
• 🔵 Blue = Normal volatility
• 🟣 Purple = Compressed (price is tightening)
• 🔴 Red = Highly Compressed (strong pressure build-up)
• 💛 Yellow = Extremely Compressed (market is tightly coiled at a rare level)
How to interpret / use this indicator
This indicator does not predict direction. It shows how much volatile energy is building in the market for an upcoming move.
The stronger the compression (Purple > Red > Yellow), the bigger the volatility release tends to be relative to recent price action.
The yellow state is the most significant. It indicates the market is at extremely compressed levels and has enough energy stored for substantial and volatile movement.
Display Panel:
A small panel on the chart shows the current volatility condition in plain text for fast recognition.
VTTOS — Volatility & Trend Transition OscillatorShort Description (one-line summary)
Displays volatility-based trend transitions using EMA relationships and adaptive percentile thresholds.
Full Description
Overview
A framework for studying volatility transitions and market phase shifts through adaptive EMA relationships.
VTTOS (Volatility & Trend Transition Oscillator System) is a technical-analysis framework that displays market behavior through volatility dynamics and EMA-based motion.
It is designed to support technical analysis and enhance market context interpretation.
VTTOS uses percentile thresholds derived from past volatility ranges to help identify transitions between trending and ranging market phases.
The indicator is built for traders who prefer to interpret market structure through volatility expansion and contraction, using clear visual markers to highlight possible sequence changes.
________________________________________
What Makes This Script Distinct
VTTOS applies adaptive percentile thresholds calculated from recent Tug Line and Tanker Line movements.
These thresholds automatically adjust based on recent data, allowing the plotted tags to represent potential market phases dynamically.
The focus is not on the EMA lines themselves, but on how price interacts relative to the percentile thresholds.
This integrated approach provides a structured volatility-based framework for contextual analysis.
________________________________________
Core Components
• Tug Line – Represents relative volatility derived from smoothed EMA relationships.
• Tanker Line – A slower baseline signal reflecting broader directional pressure.
• Threshold Bands – Adaptive percentile levels computed from recent pivot ranges.
• Sequence Markers – Numbered, colored labels that display phase progressions within the current trend.
• Multi-Market Compatibility – Can be applied to any asset or timeframe.
________________________________________
How to Read It
• When the Tug Line crosses above or below the percentile thresholds, the oscillator enters a new phase.
• Colored sequence labels display ongoing trend transitions (e.g., blue → orange → green for uptrends, purple → orange → green for downtrends).
• Opposite-side conditions automatically reset sequences to maintain clarity during volatile periods.
________________________________________
Usage Notes
• VTTOS does not generate trade entries, exit signals, or financial recommendations.
• Red or green labels only display possible late-phase conditions within a trend.
• X labels indicate when the oscillator crosses the zero line, visually marking a potential phase transition.
• All visuals are intended for analytical and educational purposes only.
• Users are encouraged to integrate VTTOS within their own analytical or confirmation framework.
• Numerical labels are iterative and do not carry standalone predictive meaning.
• The distance between the Tanker Line and percentile bands can help display relative trend strength visually, but it should not be interpreted as a forecast or signal.

Disparity Index with Volatility ZonesDisparity Index with Volatility Zones
is a momentum oscillator that measures the percentage difference between the current price and its simple moving average (SMA). This allows traders to identify overbought/oversold conditions, assess momentum strength, and detect potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔍 Core Concept:
The Disparity Index (DI) is calculated as:
DI = 100 × (Price − SMA) / SMA
A positive DI indicates the price is trading above its moving average (potential bullish sentiment), while a negative DI suggests the price is below the average (potential bearish sentiment).
This version of the Disparity Index introduces a dual-zone volatility framework, offering deeper insight into the market's current state.
🧠 What Makes This Version Unique?
1. High Volatility Zones
When DI crosses above +1.0% or below –1.0%, it often indicates the start or continuation of a strong trend.
Sustained readings beyond these thresholds typically align with trending phases, offering opportunities for momentum-based entries.
A reversal back within ±1.0% after exceeding these levels can suggest a shift in momentum — similar to how RSI exits the overbought/oversold zones before reversals.
These thresholds act as dynamic markers for breakout confirmation and potential trend exhaustion.
2. Low Volatility Zones
DI values between –0.5% and +0.5% define the low-volatility zone, shaded for visual clarity.
This area typically indicates market indecision, sideways price action, or consolidation.
Trading within this range may favor range-bound or mean-reversion strategies, as trend momentum is likely limited.
The logic is similar to interpreting a flat ADX, tight Bollinger Bands, or contracting Keltner Channels — all suggesting consolidation.
⚙️ Features:
Customizable moving average length and input source
Adjustable thresholds for overbought/oversold and low-volatility zones
Optional visual fill between low-volatility bounds
Clean and minimal chart footprint (non-essential plots hidden by default)
📈 How to Use:
1. Trend Confirmation:
A break above +1.0% can be used as a bullish continuation signal.
A break below –1.0% may confirm bearish strength.
Long periods above/below these thresholds support trend-following entries.
2. Reversal Detection:
If DI returns below +1.0% after exceeding it, bullish momentum may be fading.
If DI rises above –1.0% after falling below, bearish pressure may be weakening.
These shifts resemble overbought/oversold transitions in oscillators like RSI or Stochastic, and can be paired with divergence, volume, or price structure analysis for higher reliability.
3. Sideways Market Detection:
DI values within ±0.5% indicate low volatility or a non-trending environment.
Traders may avoid breakout entries during these periods or apply range-trading tactics instead.
Observing transitions out of the low-volatility zone can help anticipate breakouts.
4. Combine with Other Indicators:
DI signals can be enhanced using tools like MACD, Volume Oscillators, or Moving Averages.
For example, a DI breakout beyond ±1.0% supported by a MACD crossover or volume spike can help validate trend initiation.
This indicator is especially powerful when paired with Bollinger Bands:
A simultaneous price breakout from the Bollinger Band and DI moving beyond ±1.0% can help identify early trend inflection points.
This combination supports entering positions early in a developing trend, improving the efficiency of trend-following strategies and enhancing decision-making precision.
It also helps filter false breakouts when DI fails to confirm the move outside the band.
This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes and works across all timeframes and asset classes.
It is particularly useful for traders seeking a clear framework to identify momentum strength, filter sideways markets, and improve entry timing within a larger trading system.

Daily Volatility Range (DVR) [GIF]VIX as a Volatility Indicator:
The VIX is a measure of the market's expectation of volatility in the S&P 500 over the next 30 days, based on the prices of S&P 500 options.
The Rule of 16:
A VIX of 16 implies that the market expects the SPX to move up or down by roughly 1% on any given day.
If the VIX is 24, the expected daily move is around 1.5%, and with a VIX of 32, the expected move is around 2%.
The rationale for the rule is that the square root of the number of trading days in a year (approximately 252) is roughly 16.
Example:
If the VIX is at 20, the rule suggests that the SPX might see daily moves of around 1.25%.
Practical Application:
The rule of 16 can be used as a quick and easy way to estimate the potential daily volatility of the S&P 500 based on the VIX.
The Daily Volatility Range:
This indicator cross references the ticker on the chart with it's own volatility index (assuming it has one). Below are the indexes and stocks that have their own volatility index:

How I use the DVR:
Historic probabilities show that you will close the day within the DVR. However, there are times when those probabilities diminish greatly. One of those times is when you open in the RTH session outside of the DVR. If you open outside the DVR, you can look for the DVR to becomes support/resistance and stay extended outside the DVR. These days can often become muted as most of the most has happened before the market open. However, if we open outside the DVR and break back into range, it is highly probable that we will not break back into those extended ranges.
Indicator Options:
There are 2x and 3x DVR levels that can be plotted. During times of extreme volatility, it will become important to have these plotted.
There is the option to plot calculated pivot points. These are fib ranges that have historically been areas of consolidation or trend reversal. These are projections based on my own research and are not as important as the DVR levels themselves.
There is also an option to color the candles a specific color if the candle closes outside the DVR. This is to highlight the fact that price action has exceeded the range and caution should be taken.
If you have suggestions how to make this indicator better, please let me know in the comments and I will look into it. Thank you!
