BTC Trend Pullback (EMA200+EMA20) w/ ATR 1:2 RRStrategy Overview: BTC Trend Pullback (EMA200+EMA20)This strategy is a trend-following mean reversion system designed to capture high-probability entries within an established market regime. It utilizes a "dual-filter" approach: identifying the long-term trend while waiting for a short-term "cooldown" (pullback) before entering on a momentum confirmation signal.1. Trend Identification & FilteringThe strategy establishes market direction using the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).Bullish Regime: Price must be trading above the 200 EMA.Bearish Regime: Price must be trading below the 200 EMA.ADX Filter (Optional): To avoid "choppy" or sideways markets, an Average Directional Index (ADX) filter ensures that the trend has sufficient strength (typically $> 20$) before any trades are considered.2. The Pullback (Mean Reversion)Rather than chasing a breakout, this strategy waits for price to return to its "value zone"—the 20-period EMA.The script offers two modes for the pullback:Touch: A conservative entry where the candle wick merely taps the 20 EMA.Close Beyond: A more aggressive entry where the price must close on the opposite side of the 20 EMA, suggesting a deeper retracement.3. Execution via ConfirmationTo prevent "catching a falling knife," a trade is only triggered when price shows signs of resuming the primary trend. The user can select from:Bullish/Bearish Engulfing: A classic price action pattern where the current candle "swallows" the previous candle's body.Strong Close: A candle that closes in the top or bottom 40% of its total range (indicating high directional conviction).4. Risk Management (1:2 Reward-to-Risk)The strategy employs an Average True Range (ATR) based exit system to adapt to market volatility.Stop Loss (SL): Placed at $1.0 \times \text{ATR}$ from the entry price.Take Profit (TP): Placed at $2.0 \times \text{ATR}$ from the entry price.By using ATR, the strategy "breathes" with the market; stops are wider during high volatility and tighter during low volatility, maintaining a mathematically consistent 1:2 Reward-to-Risk ratio.

Overview
Manus Machiene Learning Beast is an advanced TradingView indicator that combines Machine Learning (Lorentzian Classification) with trend, volatility, and market regime filters to generate high-quality long and short trade signals.
The indicator is designed for rule-based, disciplined trading and works especially well for set-and-forget, semi-automated, or fully automated execution workflows.
⸻
Core Concept
At its core, the indicator uses a machine-learning model based on a modified K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) approach.
Instead of standard Euclidean distance, it applies Lorentzian distance, which:
• Reduces the impact of outliers
• Accounts for market distortions caused by volatility spikes and major events
• Produces more robust predictions in real market conditions
The model does not attempt to predict exact tops or bottoms.
Instead, it estimates the probable price direction over the next 4 bars.
⸻
Signal Logic
Long Signals
A long signal is generated when:
• The ML model predicts a positive directional bias
• All enabled filters are satisfied
• A new directional change is detected (non-repainting)
• Optional trend filters (EMA / SMA) confirm the direction
• Optional kernel regression confirms bullish momentum
📍 Displayed as a green label below the bar
Short Signals
A short signal is generated when:
• The ML model predicts a negative directional bias
• Filters confirm bearish conditions
• A new directional change occurs
• Trend and kernel filters align
📍 Displayed as a red label above the bar
⸻
Filters & Components
All filters are modular and can be enabled or disabled individually.
1. Volatility Filter
• Avoids trading during extremely low or chaotic volatility conditions
2. Regime Filter (Trend vs Range)
• Attempts to filter out sideways markets
• Especially important for ML-based systems
3. ADX Filter (Optional)
• Trades only when sufficient trend strength is present
4. EMA / SMA Trend Filters
• Classic trend confirmation (e.g., 200 EMA / 200 SMA)
• Ensures trades are aligned with the higher-timeframe trend
5. Kernel Regression (Nadaraya-Watson)
• Smooths price behavior
• Acts as a momentum and trend confirmation filter
• Can be used in standard or smoothed mode
⸻
Moving Average Overlays
For visual market context, the indicator includes optional overlays:
• ✅ SMA 200
• ✅ HMA 200
Both can be toggled via checkboxes and are visual aids only, unless explicitly enabled as filters.
⸻
Exit Logic
Two exit methods are available:
1. Fixed Exit
• Trades close after 4 bars
• Matches the ML model’s training horizon
2. Dynamic Exit
• Uses kernel regression and signal changes
• Designed to let profits run in strong trends
⚠️ Recommended only when no additional trend filters are active.
⸻
Backtesting & Trade Statistics
The indicator includes an on-chart statistics panel showing:
• Win rate
• Total trades
• Win/Loss ratio
• Early signal flips (useful for identifying choppy markets)
⚠️ This is intended for calibration and optimization only, not as a replacement for full strategy backtesting.
⸻
Typical Use Cases
• Swing trading (M15 – H4)
• Rule-based discretionary trading
• Set-and-forget trading
• TradingView alerts → MT4/MT5 → EA execution
• Prop-firm trading (e.g. FTMO), with proper risk management
⸻
Important Disclaimer
This indicator:
• ❌ does not guarantee profits
• ❌ is not a “holy grail”
• ✅ is a decision-support and structure tool
It performs best when:
• Combined with strict risk management (e.g. ATR-based stops)
• Used in trending or expanding markets
• Executed with discipline and consistency
MIZAN v11: L-Score ResonanceTitle: MIZAN v11: L-Score Resonance Engine
Description:
MIZAN-L is a next-generation oscillator developed by Mizan Lab, designed to solve the shortcomings of traditional RSI. It utilizes the L-Score Formula, which calculates the "Ontological Consistency" (OCC) of a price movement by synthesizing three dimensions of market physics:
Velocity (CCI): The speed of the price action.
Position (RSI): The relative saturation level.
Fuel (CMF): The volume/mass behind the move.
Unlike standard oscillators that only look at price, MIZAN-L weighs Volume (Fuel) heavily (default 45%). This means a price rise without volume will NOT spike the oscillator, filtering out fake-outs and "bull traps."
Key Features:
L-Score Algorithm: A weighted average of CCI (35%), RSI (20%), and CMF (45%).
Mizan Smoothing: Uses a proprietary WMA filter to eliminate noise, resulting in a smooth, easy-to-read line that changes color based on trend direction (Cyan = Bullish, Orange = Bearish).
The SMC Floor (Level 43):
Through extensive analysis, we have identified Level 43 as the "Institutional Cost Basis" or "Whale Floor."
When the oscillator drops to the green 43 line and bounces, it often signals that Smart Money (SMC) is accumulating positions.
Dynamic Background Zones:
Green Background: Price is in the bottom 20% of its global range (Cheap/Accumulation Zone).
Red Background: Price is in the top 20% of its global range (Expensive/Distribution Zone).
How to Use:
BUY Signal: Watch for the line to touch or dip below the Green Line (43) and turn Cyan. This is the high-probability SMC entry zone.
SELL Signal: When the line enters the Red Background zone and turns Orange.
Trend Confirmation: If the line is Thick Cyan, the trend is fueled by volume. If it is Thick Orange, distribution is active.

KAPISH Weekly Open + Trailing SLThis script is a highly precise, rule-based breakout strategy designed to trade the Weekly Open price level. It is built for a "Jane Street" style of disciplined execution, meaning it prioritizes confirmation over speed to avoid market noise and "fakeouts."Here is the structural breakdown of how the script functions:1. The Core Anchor: Weekly OpenThe strategy uses the Weekly Open as its "Fair Value" line.It assumes that if price holds above the Weekly Open, the weekly trend is bullish.If price holds below, the trend is bearish.It applies your 0.01 buffer to ensure the breakout is meaningful and not just a "touch" of the level.2. The Precision Filter: 2-Candle DelayThis is the most critical part of the logic. Most retail traders enter the moment a level is crossed. This script does the opposite:Step 1: Price crosses the Weekly Open $\pm$ 0.01. (Marked by a tiny gray circle).Step 2: The script waits for two full candles to close.Step 3: On the third candle, it checks: "Is price still above/below the Weekly Open?"Result: If yes, it fires the BUY/SELL 2QTY signal. This filters out "stop-hunts" where price spikes and immediately reverses.3. Professional Trade Management (The "Split-Exit")Instead of exiting the whole trade at once, the script manages 2 Units (QTY) differently:Target 1 (TP1): A fixed "offload" point. This is designed to capture quick profit and reduce the risk of the trade.Target 2 (TP2) + Trailing SL: The second unit is the "runner."It aims for a larger target.It utilizes a Trailing Stop Loss that "climbs" behind the price. If price moves 30 points in your favor, the stop loss moves up 30 points automatically.
Binary Options kNN - High Accuracy Mode🚀 Binary Options kNN – High Accuracy Mode (AI Signal Engine)
This indicator is designed to generate high-probability BUY and SELL signals for short-term trading (Binary Options and scalping) using a Machine Learning approach.
Instead of relying on a single indicator crossover, this script applies a k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) classification model to predict the direction of the next candle based on real historical market behavior.
──────────────────────────────
🔍 How It Works
──────────────────────────────
The script builds a training dataset using momentum + volatility features, including:
• Fast RSI (7-period)
• CCI (14-period)
• ROC (Rate of Change)
Each candle is normalized into a 0–100 range, then compared against the most similar past price conditions.
The kNN engine votes on whether the next candle is more likely to close bullish or bearish.
A signal is triggered only when a minimum consensus threshold is reached (example: 4 out of 5 neighbors agree).
──────────────────────────────
✅ Signal Filters (“60% Fix”)
──────────────────────────────
To reduce noise and improve accuracy, optional filters are included:
• ATR volatility filter (avoids low-movement zones)
• ADX trend filter (avoids choppy markets)
• RSI reversal filter (avoids overbought/oversold traps)
These filters help ensure trades are taken only in stronger market conditions.
──────────────────────────────
📌 Best Use Cases
──────────────────────────────
• 1m – 5m Binary Options setups
• Short-term scalping entries
• Trend-following confirmation tool
• Automated alert-based trading systems
──────────────────────────────
⚙️ How To Use
──────────────────────────────
1. Apply the indicator on lower timeframes
2. Wait for confirmed BUY/SELL signals
3. Combine with support/resistance or trend context
4. Use alerts + webhook automation if desired
This script is intended as a decision-support tool, not a guaranteed outcome system. Always apply proper risk management.
MIZAN v9.3: Universal Core & Liquidity MatrixTitle: MIZAN v9.3: Universal Core & Liquidity Matrix
Description:
MIZAN-CORE is an advanced algorithmic trading system developed by Mizan Lab. It utilizes a proprietary "Ontological Path" calculation to determine the true center of price action, filtering out noise and identifying high-probability trend continuations.
This version introduces the Liquidity Matrix, which automatically detects and targets liquidity pools (Swing Highs/Lows), acting as magnets for price action during active trends.
Core Features:
The Path (Dynamic Navigation): A density-based algorithm that reveals the path of least resistance.
Equilibrium Mode: When price returns to the Path, the system enters a "Rest/Equilibrium" state, signaling a pause in volatility.
Trend Flow: Visualized by Cyan (Bullish) or Orange (Bearish) thick lines.

Cumulative Delta VolumeCUMULATIVE DELTA VOLUME
This indicator is Cumulative Delta Volume (CDV), calculates bullish and bearish volume to determine whether NET BUY or NET SELL dominant within a user-defined bar range, helping traders clearly identify volume imbalance and directional conviction during market swings.
Additionally, this indicator calculates Average Price based on volume. Average Price represents the weighted price level where the level often acts as a dynamic support or resistance line:
- When price stays above the Average Price, it commonly functions as support, indicating sustained buying pressure.
- When price remains below it, the level often behaves as resistance, signaling dominant selling pressure.
- Reactions around this line can highlight potential trend continuation, rejection, or reversal zones.
The indicator also draws the high–low price range of the selected period, providing a clear visual boundary of the active trading zone. Combined with delta-based price levels, this helps traders understand where volume is being accepted or rejected by the market.
By merging volume, delta analysis, and price structure directly on the chart, Cumulative Delta Volume is a powerful tool for identifying smart money behavior, validating trend strength, and locating key support and resistance levels derived from real volume flow rather than price alone.

QMF- Market Structure & Signal Suite [BullByte]QUANTUM MOMENTUM FUSION - Market Structure and Signal Suite
OVERVIEW
Quantum Momentum Fusion is a comprehensive market analysis framework built around a multi-dimensional momentum oscillator. This indicator was designed to give traders a complete analytical workspace in a single tool, combining momentum measurement, market structure identification, trendline analysis, divergence detection, and multi-timeframe context into one unified system.
The core philosophy behind QMF is that successful trading decisions come from understanding multiple aspects of market behavior simultaneously, not from relying on any single indicator or signal. The oscillator serves as the analytical foundation, and every other component builds upon it to create a complete picture of current market conditions.
This description will walk through each component of the indicator, explaining what it measures, why that information matters, and how to interpret what you see on the chart. Whether you are an experienced trader familiar with oscillator analysis or newer to technical indicators, each section aims to make the concepts accessible and practical.
THE QUANTUM ENGINE: UNDERSTANDING THE CORE OSCILLATOR (why its original and not a mashup)
At the heart of this indicator is the Quantum Momentum Fusion oscillator, displayed in its own pane below the price chart. Unlike traditional oscillators that measure a single aspect of price behavior, the QMF oscillator synthesizes four distinct market dimensions into one unified reading.
WHAT IS AN OSCILLATOR
For those less familiar with the term, an oscillator is a technical indicator that fluctuates between defined boundaries, typically showing whether an asset is experiencing strong buying pressure, strong selling pressure, or neutral conditions. The QMF oscillator moves between 0 and 100, with 50 representing the neutral midpoint.
When the oscillator is high (above 70), it suggests the market has experienced significant upward momentum and may be approaching exhaustion. When low (below 30), it suggests the market has experienced significant downward momentum and may be due for a bounce. The space between these extremes represents normal market fluctuation.
THE FOUR DIMENSIONS
What makes the QMF oscillator different from standard momentum indicators is that it combines four separate measurements into its calculation. Each dimension captures a different aspect of market behavior:
VELOCITY DIMENSION
This measures how quickly momentum itself is changing. Think of it like acceleration in a car. Knowing the car is moving forward (direction) is useful, but knowing whether the driver is pressing the accelerator or the brake (acceleration) tells you what is likely to happen next. The velocity dimension calculates the rate of change of the rate of change, providing early warning when momentum is about to shift direction. In practical terms, this can show momentum weakening before price actually reverses.
Why it matters: Price can continue in one direction for a while even after the underlying momentum starts to fade. By measuring acceleration, you can identify potential turning points earlier than with simple momentum indicators.
How it appears: This dimension is calculated internally and combined with the others. You do not see it separately, but its effect shows in the oscillator responding earlier to momentum shifts.
VOLUME DIMENSION
This measures price movement weighted by trading volume. A price move accompanied by high volume has different significance than the same price move on low volume. High volume suggests conviction and participation from larger traders. Low volume suggests the move may lack follow-through.
The volume dimension multiplies price change by a volume ratio (current volume compared to average volume), giving greater weight to moves that have volume confirmation behind them.
Why it matters: Volume often precedes price. Strong volume on a move suggests institutional participation and increases the probability that the move will continue. Weak volume on a move suggests it may be easily reversed.
How it appears: Moves with strong volume conviction will push the oscillator more definitively, while low-volume moves will have muted effect on the reading.
VOLATILITY DIMENSION
This normalizes price movement against the current volatility environment. Markets go through periods of high volatility (large price swings) and low volatility (small price swings). A 1% move during a low volatility period is more significant than a 1% move during a high volatility period.
The volatility dimension divides price change by Average True Range (ATR), which measures typical price range. This tells you whether current movement is significant relative to what is normal for this market right now.
Why it matters: Without volatility normalization, the oscillator would react the same way to all price moves regardless of context. By adjusting for volatility, the oscillator identifies moves that are genuinely significant versus normal noise within the current regime.
How it appears: During quiet markets, smaller price moves can still register as significant if they exceed normal volatility. During volatile markets, the oscillator will not overreact to moves that are within expected range.
SESSION DIMENSION
This tracks where price is positioned relative to the session Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). VWAP represents the average price at which trading has occurred during the session, weighted by volume. Institutional traders often use VWAP as a benchmark for fair value.
When price is consistently above VWAP, it suggests buyers are willing to pay above average prices, indicating accumulation. When price is consistently below VWAP, it suggests sellers are accepting below average prices, indicating distribution.
Why it matters: VWAP positioning provides insight into whether institutional traders are likely accumulating or distributing. Price repeatedly returning to and bouncing from VWAP can indicate support, while price repeatedly failing at VWAP can indicate resistance.
How it appears: The session dimension contributes bullish readings when price maintains above VWAP and bearish readings when price maintains below VWAP.
ADAPTIVE WEIGHTING
The four dimensions are combined using configurable weights, and the system can operate in Adaptive Mode. When Adaptive Mode is enabled, the indicator automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on the current volatility regime. During high volatility periods, sensitivity increases to capture larger moves. During low volatility periods, sensitivity decreases to filter out noise.
This means the oscillator adapts to changing market conditions without requiring manual adjustment.
READING THE OSCILLATOR: DISPLAY MODES AND ZONES
The QMF oscillator can be displayed in four different visual formats. Each shows the same underlying data but presents it differently based on trader preference.
ENERGY CANDLES
This mode displays the oscillator as candlestick-style candles. Just as price candles show open, high, low, and close for price, energy candles show these values for the QMF oscillator.
Green candles indicate the oscillator closed higher than it opened (bullish momentum). Red candles indicate the oscillator closed lower than it opened (bearish momentum). The body size shows how much the oscillator moved during the period. Larger bodies indicate stronger momentum conviction.
This format is useful for traders who are comfortable reading candlestick patterns and want to apply similar visual analysis to the oscillator.
QMF LINE
This mode displays the oscillator as a traditional line chart with a signal line overlay. The main QMF line shows current momentum. The signal line is a smoothed average of the QMF that helps identify direction changes.
When the QMF line is above the signal line, momentum is bullish. When below, momentum is bearish. Crossovers between the two lines can indicate momentum shifts.
This format is familiar to traders who use indicators like MACD and prefer clean line-based visualization.
IMPULSE BARS
This mode displays the oscillator as a histogram centered on the 50 midline. Bars above 50 indicate bullish momentum, bars below 50 indicate bearish momentum. Bar height shows momentum strength.
The color intensity changes based on momentum direction. Bars that are increasing in the bullish direction show brighter color. Bars that are decreasing show muted color. This makes it easy to see momentum acceleration and deceleration at a glance.
HEIKIN FLOW
This mode applies Heikin-Ashi smoothing to the energy candles. Heikin-Ashi is a Japanese technique that averages price data to create smoother trends with fewer reversals.
The result is cleaner visual trends that are easier to follow, though with slightly more lag than standard energy candles. This format is useful for identifying sustained momentum moves without getting distracted by minor fluctuations.
OSCILLATOR ZONES
Regardless of display mode, the oscillator pane includes horizontal reference lines that define important zones:
Midline at 50: The neutral point. When the oscillator is above 50, overall momentum is bullish. When below 50, overall momentum is bearish.
Overbought level at 70: When the oscillator crosses above this level, the market is showing strong bullish momentum. However, this also means prices have risen significantly and bearish reversal probability increases the longer the oscillator stays elevated.
Oversold level at 30: When the oscillator crosses below this level, the market is showing strong bearish momentum. However, this also means prices have fallen significantly and bullish reversal probability increases.
Extreme overbought at 85: Maximum bullish exhaustion. At this level, almost all short-term buying pressure has been expended. Reversal probability is high.
Extreme oversold at 15: Maximum bearish exhaustion. At this level, almost all short-term selling pressure has been expended. Reversal probability is high.
Understanding these zones helps you assess the current market condition before looking at any other indicator components.
MARKET STRUCTURE: DYNAMIC SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE
The second major component of the indicator is market structure analysis through dynamic support and resistance levels. Unlike price-based support and resistance, these levels are calculated directly on the oscillator.
WHAT ARE OSCILLATOR-BASED S/R LEVELS
When the QMF oscillator reaches a high point and then reverses lower, that high point becomes a resistance level on the oscillator. When the oscillator reaches a low point and then reverses higher, that low point becomes a support level.
These levels represent momentum thresholds that the market has previously found difficult to exceed. They answer the question: At what momentum reading has the oscillator historically reversed?
WHY THIS MATTERS
Oscillator support and resistance provides different information than price support and resistance. Price S/R tells you where buyers and sellers have previously entered the market. Oscillator S/R tells you what level of momentum the market has been able to sustain.
If the oscillator approaches its resistance level, it suggests momentum is reaching the upper bounds of what has been achievable recently. Either momentum will break through (indicating unusually strong conditions) or it will reverse (indicating normal mean reversion).
Similarly, if the oscillator approaches support, it suggests momentum is reaching exhaustion levels that have previously triggered bounces.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
Resistance is displayed as a horizontal red line with a RES label on the oscillator pane. Support is displayed as a horizontal cyan line with a SUP label. These lines update dynamically as new pivots form.
When the oscillator breaks through these levels, markers appear:
R with up arrow: Resistance level broken, indicating unusually strong bullish momentum
S with down arrow: Support level broken, indicating unusually strong bearish momentum
R with checkmark: Resistance held, price rejected at this level
S with checkmark: Support held, price bounced from this level
The dashboard also shows current S/R status: whether the oscillator recently broke resistance, broke support, is currently at resistance, is currently at support, or is in clear space between levels.
AUTOMATED TRENDLINES: MOMENTUM TREND STRUCTURE
The third major component is automated trendline detection on the oscillator. This identifies trending behavior in momentum itself, separate from price trends.
WHAT ARE OSCILLATOR TRENDLINES
Just as you can draw trendlines on a price chart connecting swing lows (uptrend) or swing highs (downtrend), the indicator draws trendlines on the oscillator connecting pivot points.
Support trendlines connect oscillator pivot lows and project forward with a flat or rising slope. These show upward trending momentum where each pullback finds support at a higher level.
Resistance trendlines connect oscillator pivot highs and project forward with a flat or falling slope. These show downward trending momentum where each rally faces resistance at a lower level.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Price trends and momentum trends do not always align. Price can continue making higher highs while momentum makes lower highs, a condition called bearish divergence. Momentum trendlines help visualize this behavior.
When momentum is making higher lows (rising support trendline), it suggests underlying strength even if price is consolidating. When momentum is making lower highs (falling resistance trendline), it suggests underlying weakness even if price is holding.
Breaks of these trendlines often precede price moves. If a falling momentum resistance trendline breaks upward, it suggests bearish pressure is releasing and bullish momentum may follow. If a rising momentum support trendline breaks downward, it suggests bullish pressure is failing and bearish momentum may follow.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
Support trendlines appear in blue/cyan, resistance trendlines appear in pink/magenta. Lines extend forward from the most recent pivot point to show projected levels.
Small circle markers can optionally appear at each pivot point used to construct the trendlines, helping you verify the anchor points.
When the oscillator breaks through a trendline, markers appear:
TL with up arrow: Resistance trendline broken upward (bullish breakout)
TL with down arrow: Support trendline broken downward (bearish breakdown)
Trendline strength is calculated based on three factors: how many pivot points validate the line, how recently it formed, and the angle of the slope. Stronger trendlines have more touches, formed recently, and have moderate slopes. You can filter trendlines by strength to show only the most significant ones.
Optional trendline zones can display a shaded area around each trendline rather than just a single line, showing a zone of influence rather than a precise level.
DIVERGENCE: WHEN PRICE AND MOMENTUM DISAGREE
The fourth major component is divergence detection, which identifies discrepancies between price action and oscillator behavior.
WHAT IS DIVERGENCE
Divergence occurs when price makes a new high or low, but the oscillator fails to confirm it. This disagreement between price and momentum often precedes reversals.
There are four types of divergence:
REGULAR BULLISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a lower low (new low point below the previous low), but the oscillator makes a higher low (its low point is above its previous low). This suggests that despite price going lower, selling momentum is actually weakening. The implication is that sellers are losing conviction and a bounce or reversal may be approaching.
Visual example: Imagine price drops from 100 to 95, bounces to 97, then drops again to 93. At the same time, the oscillator drops to 25, bounces to 35, then drops only to 30. Price made a lower low (93 vs 95) but the oscillator made a higher low (30 vs 25). This is regular bullish divergence.
REGULAR BEARISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a higher high (new high point above the previous high), but the oscillator makes a lower high (its high point is below its previous high). This suggests that despite price going higher, buying momentum is actually weakening. The implication is that buyers are losing conviction and a pullback or reversal may be approaching.
HIDDEN BULLISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a higher low (its low point is above its previous low), but the oscillator makes a lower low (new low below its previous low). This occurs during uptrends and suggests the trend will continue. Price is holding higher but momentum briefly dipped further, indicating a temporary pullback within a larger uptrend.
HIDDEN BEARISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a lower high (its high point is below its previous high), but the oscillator makes a higher high (new high above its previous high). This occurs during downtrends and suggests the trend will continue. Price is staying lower but momentum briefly spiked higher, indicating a temporary bounce within a larger downtrend.
Regular divergence suggests reversal. Hidden divergence suggests continuation.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
When divergence is confirmed, labels appear on the oscillator:
BULL DIV: Regular bullish divergence confirmed
BEAR DIV: Regular bearish divergence confirmed
H-BULL: Hidden bullish divergence confirmed
H-BEAR: Hidden bearish divergence confirmed
Dotted lines connect the pivot points on the oscillator to show the divergence pattern. Regular divergence uses solid colored lines, hidden divergence uses dashed lines.
The dashboard shows divergence status in real-time:
CHECKING BULL: A potential bullish divergence pattern is forming but not yet confirmed
CHECKING BEAR: A potential bearish divergence pattern is forming but not yet confirmed
BULL CONFIRMED: Bullish divergence has been validated
BEAR CONFIRMED: Bearish divergence has been validated
NONE: No divergence currently active
Divergence strength is calculated from the magnitude of the oscillator discrepancy. Only divergences meeting the minimum strength threshold are displayed to filter out minor, less significant patterns.
FLOW RIBBONS: VISUALIZING MOMENTUM ALIGNMENT
The fifth major component is the Flow Ribbon system, which displays multiple moving averages of the QMF oscillator to visualize momentum trend and alignment.
WHAT ARE FLOW RIBBONS
Flow ribbons consist of three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) applied to the QMF oscillator values. Think of them as smoothed versions of the oscillator at different speeds:
Fast Ribbon : Responds quickly to momentum changes, showing recent momentum direction
Medium Ribbon: Balances responsiveness with smoothness, showing intermediate momentum
Slow Ribbon: Moves slowly and shows longer-term momentum context
When these three lines are plotted together with filled area between them, they create a visual ribbon that expands and contracts based on momentum conditions.
WHY RIBBON ALIGNMENT MATTERS
The relationship between these three averages tells you about momentum structure:
BULLISH ALIGNMENT (Fast above Medium above Slow)
When the ribbons are stacked with fast on top, medium in middle, and slow on bottom, momentum is aligned bullishly across multiple timeframes. Short-term momentum leads, with medium and long-term momentum confirming. This is the strongest bullish configuration.
BEARISH ALIGNMENT (Fast below Medium below Slow)
When the ribbons are inverted with fast on bottom, medium in middle, and slow on top, momentum is aligned bearishly across multiple timeframes. Short-term momentum leads downward, with medium and long-term momentum confirming. This is the strongest bearish configuration.
MIXED/TRANSITIONING
When the ribbons are not properly stacked, momentum is in transition. This often occurs during consolidation, trend changes, or choppy conditions. Trading during mixed ribbon states carries higher uncertainty.
RIBBON EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION
Beyond alignment, the distance between the fast and slow ribbon provides additional information:
EXPANDING RIBBON
When the gap between fast and slow ribbon is increasing, momentum is accelerating. In a bullish alignment with expansion, upward momentum is strengthening. In a bearish alignment with expansion, downward momentum is strengthening. Expansion confirms trend conviction.
CONTRACTING RIBBON
When the gap between fast and slow ribbon is decreasing, momentum is decelerating. The current trend may be losing steam. Contraction often precedes consolidation or reversal. It serves as an early warning that the current move may be exhausting.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
The fast ribbon appears as a thicker line, the slow ribbon as a thinner line. The area between them fills with color:
Green fill: Bullish ribbon alignment
Red fill: Bearish ribbon alignment
Gray fill: Neutral or transitioning state
The dashboard shows ribbon state as BULL, BEAR, or NEUT, and indicates whether ribbons are expanding (EXP) or contracting (CON).
Ribbon crossovers occur when the fast ribbon crosses the slow ribbon, signaling potential momentum shifts. These crossovers are confirmed only after the bar closes to prevent false signals from intrabar movement.
REVERSAL CLOUDS: PROBABILITY ZONES
The sixth major component is the Reversal Cloud system, which visualizes zones where momentum reversals have elevated probability.
WHAT ARE REVERSAL CLOUDS
Reversal clouds are shaded areas around the QMF oscillator that indicate probability zones for mean reversion. They answer the question: How far from average has momentum extended, and what is the probability it will revert?
When the oscillator moves far from its normal range, it creates stretched conditions. Like a rubber band pulled to its limit, the probability increases that it will snap back toward center. Reversal clouds visualize these stretched conditions.
CLOUD CALCULATION METHODS
Five different calculation methods are available, each with different characteristics:
DYNAMIC BOLLINGER
Uses statistical standard deviation to create bands that adapt to oscillator volatility. When the oscillator is volatile, bands widen. When the oscillator is calm, bands narrow. This method identifies moves that are statistically significant relative to recent oscillator behavior.
GOLDEN RATIO
Applies Fibonacci proportions (0.214 and 0.786) to the oscillator range. These ratios appear throughout nature and markets. Some traders believe these proportions have psychological significance in market behavior.
ADAPTIVE HALO
Scales cloud width based on price ATR rather than oscillator volatility. This connects cloud width to actual price volatility, making the clouds wider during volatile price action and narrower during calm periods.
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE
Uses short-term standard deviation to create bands that contract during low volatility and expand during high volatility. This method is particularly useful for identifying potential breakout conditions when volatility is compressed.
ICHIMOKU RSI
Applies concepts from Ichimoku Kinko Hyo equilibrium theory to create balanced zones. Uses multiple lookback periods to establish equilibrium levels where the oscillator tends to find balance.
HOW TO READ THE CLOUDS
The oscillator moves through the cloud area as momentum fluctuates:
When QMF enters the upper cloud region, it indicates extended bullish momentum. The higher into the cloud, the greater the probability of bearish reversal through mean reversion.
When QMF enters the lower cloud region, it indicates extended bearish momentum. The deeper into the cloud, the greater the probability of bullish reversal through mean reversion.
Cloud opacity adjusts based on reversal probability. More opaque coloring indicates higher reversal probability. Subtle coloring indicates lower reversal probability.
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING
Clouds show probability zones, not certainty. Price can remain in extreme zones longer than expected, particularly during strong trends. Clouds are most useful when combined with other components like divergence, S/R breaks, and ribbon alignment rather than used in isolation.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS: SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE
The seventh major component is Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis, which calculates QMF values across multiple timeframes to assess momentum alignment at different time perspectives.
WHY MULTIPLE TIMEFRAMES MATTER
The timeframe you trade on shows only one perspective of market momentum. A bullish signal on a 15-minute chart may occur within a larger bearish trend on the 4-hour chart. Understanding momentum context from higher timeframes helps you assess whether you are trading with or against the larger flow.
When multiple timeframes align in the same direction, the probability of a successful trade increases. When timeframes conflict, the situation is more uncertain and requires additional caution.
HOW MTF ANALYSIS WORKS
The indicator calculates the full QMF oscillator independently on four configurable timeframes. By default, these are set to 5-minute, 15-minute, 60-minute (1 hour), and 240-minute (4 hour), but you can configure them to any timeframes that suit your trading style.
For each timeframe, the system determines the current momentum bias:
OB - Overbought: QMF above 70, indicating extended bullish momentum that may reverse
B+ - Strong Bullish: QMF above 55 and above its signal line, indicating solid bullish momentum
B - Bullish: QMF above its signal line, indicating mild bullish momentum
N - Neutral: QMF near 50 with no clear direction
S - Bearish: QMF below its signal line, indicating mild bearish momentum
S+ - Strong Bearish: QMF below 45 and below its signal line, indicating solid bearish momentum
OS - Oversold: QMF below 30, indicating extended bearish momentum that may reverse
ALIGNMENT SCORING
The dashboard displays an alignment score showing how many of the four timeframes agree with each directional bias. This appears as a fraction like 3/4 or 2/4.
4/4 Bullish: All four timeframes show bullish readings - maximum bullish alignment
3/4 Bullish: Three timeframes bullish, one diverging - strong bullish alignment
2/4: Split between bullish and bearish - no clear alignment, use caution
3/4 Bearish: Three timeframes bearish, one diverging - strong bearish alignment
4/4 Bearish: All four timeframes show bearish readings - maximum bearish alignment
Higher alignment scores indicate more reliable momentum context. Trading with 3/4 or 4/4 alignment in your favor provides better odds than trading against alignment or during mixed conditions.
NON-REPAINTING MTF DATA
The multi-timeframe data uses proper request.security settings with lookahead disabled and gaps handled correctly. This ensures the MTF readings you see in backtesting match what you would see in real-time trading, with no future data leakage that could create misleading results.
LIVE MOMENTUM SCORING: REAL-TIME MARKET ASSESSMENT
The eighth major component is the Live Momentum Scoring system, which provides continuous real-time feedback on current market conditions.
WHAT IS LIVE MOMENTUM SCORING
Unlike signals which only appear when specific patterns complete, live momentum scores update every bar to show the current balance between bullish and bearish factors. This answers the question: Right now, how do the bullish factors compare to the bearish factors?
The system evaluates six categories for each direction and adds up points:
ZONE POSITION (0-25 points)
Rewards positioning in favorable oscillator zones. Deep oversold positioning adds points to the bullish score. Deep overbought positioning adds points to the bearish score. Extreme zones receive maximum points, moderate zones receive partial points, neutral zones receive zero.
DIVERGENCE (0-20 points)
Rewards active or forming divergence patterns. Confirmed divergence receives full points. Forming (checking) divergence receives partial credit. No divergence receives zero points.
TREND ALIGNMENT (0-20 points)
Rewards proper EMA stacking and trend MA positioning. Full bullish EMA stack (fast above medium above slow above trend MA) receives maximum bullish points. Partial alignment receives partial points.
MOMENTUM DIRECTION (0-15 points)
Rewards current momentum direction and acceleration. Accelerating momentum in the favorable direction receives maximum points. Simple directional momentum receives moderate points. Histogram turning (early reversal signs) receives partial points.
RIBBON STATE (0-10 points)
Rewards proper ribbon alignment and expansion. Aligned and expanding ribbons receive maximum points. Aligned but contracting ribbons receive moderate points. Mixed ribbons receive zero points.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME (0-10 points)
Rewards higher timeframe alignment. 4/4 alignment receives maximum points, scaling down as alignment decreases.
READING THE LIVE SCORES
The dashboard displays current scores for both directions:
BULL: Shows bullish score as percentage (0-100) and letter grade (A through D)
BEAR: Shows bearish score as percentage (0-100) and letter grade (A through D)
BIAS: Shows which direction currently dominates (BULL, BEAR, or NEUTRAL if close)
Grade thresholds:
A Grade: 70% or higher - Strong momentum factors aligned
B Grade: 50-69% - Moderate momentum factors present
C Grade: 30-49% - Some momentum factors but incomplete
D Grade: Below 30% - Weak or missing momentum factors
The dominant bias shows which direction currently has stronger factors. When one side leads by more than 10 points, it shows that direction. Otherwise, it shows NEUTRAL indicating balanced or mixed conditions.
WHY LIVE SCORING MATTERS
Live scores help you understand current market conditions even when no signal has fired. You can see momentum building or fading in real-time. A rising bullish score suggests conditions are improving for potential long opportunities. A rising bearish score suggests conditions are deteriorating.
This continuous feedback helps with:
- Anticipating potential signals before they fire
- Assessing whether to act on signals that do fire
- Understanding why a signal did or did not appear
- Monitoring open positions for changing conditions

HOW SIGNALS EMERGE FROM CONFLUENCE
After understanding all the individual components, it becomes clear how signals are generated. Signals in QMF are not arbitrary triggers based on single conditions. They emerge when multiple independent factors align to create confluence.
THE PATTERN-BASED APPROACH
The signal system uses a hierarchical pattern-based approach. Rather than calculating a score from random factors and labeling it, the system actively hunts for specific predefined pattern combinations.
The system first checks for Grade A patterns. If none are found, it checks for Grade B patterns. If none are found, it checks for Grade C patterns. Each grade represents specific combinations of factors that must be present together.
GRADE A REQUIREMENTS
Grade A patterns require multiple strong factors aligned. Examples of Grade A pattern combinations:
Pattern A1 - Perfect Storm Reversal:
- Extreme zone positioning (deeply oversold or overbought)
- Confirmed regular divergence
- Structural break (resistance broken or support broken or trendline broken)
- Strong volume conviction (1.3x or higher)
- High MTF alignment (3 or more timeframes agreeing)
Pattern A2 - Breakout Conviction:
- Resistance or support broken
- Accelerating momentum in the breakout direction
- Full EMA stack aligned
- Ribbon aligned and expanding
- Strong volume conviction (1.4x or higher)
- Good MTF alignment (2 or more timeframes)
Pattern A3 - Zone Reversal Multi-Confirmation:
- Extreme or standard zone positioning
- Regular or hidden divergence confirmed
- Active bounce from zone
- EMA crossover or MA break in reversal direction
- Good MTF alignment (2 or more timeframes)
- Volume conviction present (1.2x or higher)
All factors in the pattern must be present simultaneously. Missing any single factor disqualifies the Grade A pattern.
GRADE B REQUIREMENTS
Grade B patterns require fewer but still meaningful confirmations. These patterns fire only when no Grade A pattern is detected:
Pattern B1 - Zone with Confirmation:
- Oversold or overbought zone positioning
- Momentum in reversal direction
- Hidden divergence, EMA crossover, or trendline break present
- Minimum MTF alignment met
Pattern B2 - Divergence with Structure:
- Regular or hidden divergence confirmed
- Structural break (S/R or trendline or MA)
- Momentum confirming direction
- Volume at least average
Pattern B3 - Clean Trend Continuation:
- Above or below trend MA
- Ribbon aligned in direction
- Oscillator crossed signal line
- EMA stack complete
GRADE C REQUIREMENTS
Grade C patterns require basic confirmations. These patterns fire only when no Grade A or Grade B pattern is detected:
Pattern C1 - Early Zone Entry:
- Zone positioning or approaching zone
- Momentum in expected direction
- Oscillator or EMA crossover present
Pattern C2 - Momentum Shift:
- Histogram turning in expected direction
- Oscillator crossover confirmed
- Oscillator on expected side of midline
SIGNAL QUALITY CONTROLS
Beyond pattern detection, several quality controls must be satisfied:
COOLDOWN
A minimum number of bars must pass between any two signals. This prevents signal clustering during volatile conditions and ensures each signal represents a distinct opportunity.
DIRECTION ALTERNATION
When enabled, signals must alternate between LONG and SHORT. After a LONG signal, only SHORT signals can fire until direction changes. This prevents multiple consecutive signals in the same direction.
PULLBACK REQUIREMENT
After a signal fires, the oscillator must retrace a minimum percentage before another same-direction signal can fire. This ensures re-entry signals occur after meaningful pullbacks rather than immediately after the first signal.
VOLUME CONFIRMATION (Optional)
When enabled, volume must meet minimum threshold relative to average. This filters out signals during low-volume periods when moves may lack follow-through.
BAR CONFIRMATION
All signals require barstate.isconfirmed, meaning they only fire after the bar closes. This prevents signals from appearing and disappearing during live bar formation, ensuring backtest results match live behavior.

SETTINGS REFERENCE
This section provides a reference for the main configurable settings organized by category.
QUANTUM ENGINE SETTINGS
Sensitivity (5-50): Primary lookback period for momentum calculations. Lower values respond faster but may include more noise. Higher values smooth the oscillator but increase lag. Default 14 balances responsiveness with stability.
Smoothing (1-10): Exponential smoothing applied to final QMF value. Higher values reduce noise, lower values preserve detail. Default 3 provides good noise reduction.
Adaptive Mode: When enabled, automatically adjusts sensitivity based on volatility regime. Increases sensitivity during high volatility, decreases during low volatility.
Dimension Toggles: Enable or disable each of the four dimensions (Velocity, Volume, Volatility, Session) individually. Useful for customizing the oscillator for specific instruments or conditions.
Dimension Weights: Adjust relative contribution of each dimension. Weights are normalized so they do not need to sum to 1.0. Higher weight means that dimension has more influence on the final value.
Signal Length: EMA period for the signal line. Lower values make signal line more responsive, higher values make it smoother.
DISPLAY SETTINGS
Display Mode: Choose between Energy Candles, QMF Line, Impulse Bars, or Heikin Flow visualization.
Candle Glow: Adds luminous glow effect around energy candles based on momentum strength. Visually striking but can impact performance on slower systems.
Glow Layers: Number of glow layers when candle glow is enabled. More layers create smoother gradient but use more resources.
VISUAL SETTINGS
Theme: Choose between Tokyo Night (dark blue with vibrant accents), Dracula (purple-grey with high contrast), or Nord (muted arctic tones). Each theme is designed for extended trading sessions.
Glow Intensity: Controls transparency of glow effects. Lower values create more visible glows, higher values more subtle.
Enable Glow Effects: Master toggle for all glow effects around candles and levels.
REVERSAL CLOUD SETTINGS
Enable Reversal Clouds: Toggle cloud display on or off.
Cloud Style: Choose calculation method (Dynamic Bollinger, Golden Ratio, Adaptive Halo, Volatility Squeeze, Ichimoku RSI).
Cloud Transparency: Higher values make clouds more transparent, lower values more visible.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE: READING THE COMPLETE PICTURE
This example walks through analyzing a chart using all the indicator components together.
SCENARIO: You are analyzing a 15-minute chart looking for trading opportunities.
STEP 1: ASSESS OSCILLATOR ZONE
You look at the QMF oscillator and see it reading 24, which is in the oversold zone. The dashboard confirms this showing OVERSOLD in the zone status. The progress bar shows the oscillator is in the lower portion of its range.
Initial assessment: The market has experienced significant selling pressure and is in territory where bullish reversals have elevated probability.
STEP 2: CHECK STRUCTURE
You look at the dynamic S/R levels. The oscillator recently touched its support level at 22 and bounced. You see an S with checkmark marker indicating support held. The dashboard shows AT SUP status.
Assessment update: The oscillator found support at a level that has held before. This adds to the bullish case.
STEP 3: EXAMINE TRENDLINES
You notice a resistance trendline connecting recent oscillator highs that has been declining. The oscillator is currently approaching this trendline from below. No break has occurred yet.
Assessment update: There is overhead resistance that will need to be cleared. A break above would be significant.
STEP 4: CHECK DIVERGENCE
The dashboard shows BULL CONFIRMED in the divergence status. Looking at the oscillator, you see a BULL DIV label with a dotted line connecting two pivot lows. The oscillator made a higher low while price made a lower low.
Assessment update: Confirmed bullish divergence suggests selling momentum is weakening despite price continuing lower. This is a meaningful signal of potential reversal.
STEP 5: EVALUATE RIBBONS
The ribbons are currently mixed with fast below medium but both above slow. Ribbon fill is gray indicating transitioning state. However, you notice the fast ribbon is turning upward and approaching the medium ribbon from below.
Assessment update: Ribbons are not yet aligned bullish, but appear to be transitioning. A bullish crossover may be approaching.
STEP 6: CHECK MTF ALIGNMENT
The dashboard MTF panel shows: 5m is B+, 15m is B, 1H is N, 4H is S. The alignment shows 2/4 bullish.
Assessment update: Lower timeframes support bullish bias, but higher timeframes are neutral or bearish. This is mixed alignment, suggesting caution. Any bullish move may face resistance from higher timeframe sellers.
STEP 7: REVIEW LIVE MOMENTUM SCORES
Dashboard shows BULL at 52% Grade B, BEAR at 28% Grade D. Dominant bias shows BULL.
Assessment update: Bullish factors currently outweigh bearish factors. The score suggests moderate bullish conditions, not yet strong.
STEP 8: SYNTHESIS
Putting it together:
- Oversold zone positioning (bullish factor)
- Support held (bullish factor)
- Bullish divergence confirmed (strong bullish factor)
- Ribbons transitioning but not yet aligned (neutral)
- MTF alignment mixed at 2/4 (caution factor)
- Live score favors bullish moderately (supporting factor)
- Resistance trendline overhead (risk factor)
Conclusion: Conditions favor a bullish reversal but with caution warranted due to mixed MTF alignment and overhead resistance. This would not qualify for a Grade A signal due to insufficient MTF alignment. If a signal fires, it would likely be Grade B.
STEP 9: SIGNAL FIRES
Several bars later, the oscillator crosses above its signal line while still in oversold territory. The EMA fast crosses above EMA slow. A LONG B signal appears at 85% confluence.
The signal represents: Oversold positioning plus confirmed divergence plus momentum crossover, meeting Grade B pattern requirements.
STEP 10: MONITORING
After entry, you monitor the dashboard for changing conditions. Live momentum scores continue rising. The resistance trendline breaks (TL up arrow marker appears). Ribbons align bullish. MTF alignment improves to 3/4 as the 1H turns bullish.
The improving conditions confirm the trade thesis. You hold the position as conditions strengthen.

Bifurcation Zone - CAEBifurcation Zone — Cognitive Adversarial Engine (BZ-CAE)
Bifurcation Zone — CAE (BZ-CAE) is a next-generation divergence detection system enhanced by a Cognitive Adversarial Engine that evaluates both sides of every potential trade before presenting signals. Unlike traditional divergence indicators that show every price-oscillator disagreement regardless of context, BZ-CAE applies comprehensive market-state intelligence to identify only the divergences that occur in favorable conditions with genuine probability edges.
The system identifies structural bifurcation points — critical junctures where price and momentum disagree, signaling potential reversals or continuations — then validates these opportunities through five interconnected intelligence layers: Trend Conviction Scoring , Directional Momentum Alignment , Multi-Factor Exhaustion Modeling , Adversarial Validation , and Confidence Scoring . The result is a selective, context-aware signal system that filters noise and highlights high-probability setups.
This is not a "buy the arrow" indicator. It's a decision support framework that teaches you how to read market state, evaluate divergence quality, and make informed trading decisions based on quantified intelligence rather than hope.
What Sets BZ-CAE Apart: Technical Architecture
The Problem With Traditional Divergence Indicators
Most divergence indicators operate on a simple rule: if price makes a higher high and RSI makes a lower high, show a bearish signal. If price makes a lower low and RSI makes a higher low, show a bullish signal. This creates several critical problems:
Context Blindness : They show counter-trend signals in powerful trends that rarely reverse, leading to repeated losses as you fade momentum.
Signal Spam : Every minor price-oscillator disagreement generates an alert, overwhelming you with low-quality setups and creating analysis paralysis.
No Quality Ranking : All signals are treated identically. A marginal divergence in choppy conditions receives the same visual treatment as a high-conviction setup at a major exhaustion point.
Single-Sided Evaluation : They ask "Is this a good long?" without checking if the short case is overwhelmingly stronger, leading you into obvious bad trades.
Static Configuration : You manually choose RSI 14 or Stochastic 14 and hope it works, with no systematic way to validate if that's optimal for your instrument.
BZ-CAE's Solution: Cognitive Adversarial Intelligence
BZ-CAE solves these problems through an integrated five-layer intelligence architecture:
1. Trend Conviction Score (TCS) — 0 to 1 Scale
Most indicators check if ADX is above 25 to determine "trending" conditions. This binary approach misses nuance. TCS is a weighted composite metric:
Formula : 0.35 × normalize(ADX, 10, 35) + 0.35 × structural_strength + 0.30 × htf_alignment
Structural Strength : 10-bar SMA of consecutive directional bars. Captures persistence — are bulls or bears consistently winning?
HTF Alignment : Multi-timeframe EMA stacking (20/50/100/200). When all EMAs align in the same direction, you're in institutional trend territory.
Purpose : Quantifies how "locked in" the trend is. When TCS exceeds your threshold (default 0.80), the system knows to avoid counter-trend trades unless other factors override.
Interpretation :
TCS > 0.85: Very strong trend — counter-trading is extremely high risk
TCS 0.70-0.85: Strong trend — favor continuation, require exhaustion for reversals
TCS 0.50-0.70: Moderate trend — context matters, both directions viable
TCS < 0.50: Weak/choppy — reversals more viable, range-bound conditions
2. Directional Momentum Alignment (DMA) — ATR-Normalized
Formula : (EMA21 - EMA55) / ATR14
This isn't just "price above EMA" — it's a regime-aware momentum gauge. The same $100 price movement reads completely differently in high-volatility crypto versus low-volatility forex. By normalizing with ATR, DMA adapts its interpretation to current market conditions.
Purpose : Quantifies the directional "force" behind current price action. Positive = bullish push, negative = bearish push. Magnitude = strength.
Interpretation :
DMA > 0.7: Strong bullish momentum — bearish divergences risky
DMA 0.3 to 0.7: Moderate bullish bias
DMA -0.3 to 0.3: Balanced/choppy conditions
DMA -0.7 to -0.3: Moderate bearish bias
DMA < -0.7: Strong bearish momentum — bullish divergences risky
3. Multi-Factor Exhaustion Modeling — 0 to 1 Probability
Single-metric exhaustion detection (like "RSI > 80") misses complex market states. BZ-CAE aggregates five independent exhaustion signals:
Volume Spikes : Current volume versus 50-bar average
2.5x average: 0.25 weight
2.0x average: 0.15 weight
1.5x average: 0.10 weight
Divergence Present : The fact that a divergence exists contributes 0.30 weight — structural momentum disagreement is itself an exhaustion signal.
RSI Extremes : Captures oscillator climax zones
RSI > 80 or < 20: 0.25 weight
RSI > 75 or < 25: 0.15 weight
Pin Bar Detection : Identifies rejection candles (2:1 wick-to-body ratio, indicating failed breakout attempts): 0.15 weight
Extended Runs : Consecutive bars above/below EMA20 without pullback
30+ bars: 0.15 weight (market hasn't paused to consolidate)
Total exhaustion score is the sum of all applicable weights, capped at 1.0.
Purpose : Detects when strong trends become vulnerable to reversal. High exhaustion can override trend filters, allowing counter-trend trades at genuine turning points that basic indicators would miss.
Interpretation :
Exhaustion > 0.75: High probability of climax — yellow background shading alerts you visually
Exhaustion 0.50-0.75: Moderate overextension — watch for confirmation
Exhaustion < 0.50: Fresh move — trend can continue, counter-trend trades higher risk
4. Adversarial Validation — Game Theory Applied to Trading
This is BZ-CAE's signature innovation. Before approving any signal, the engine quantifies BOTH sides of the trade simultaneously:
For Bullish Divergences , it calculates:
Bull Case Score (0-1+) :
Distance below EMA20 (pullback quality): up to 0.25
Bullish EMA alignment (close > EMA20 > EMA50): 0.25
Oversold RSI (< 40): 0.25
Volume confirmation (> 1.2x average): 0.25
Bear Case Score (0-1+) :
Price below EMA50 (structural weakness): 0.30
Very oversold RSI (< 30, indicating knife-catching): 0.20
Differential = Bull Case - Bear Case
If differential < -0.10 (default threshold), the bear case is dominating — signal is BLOCKED or ANNOTATED.
For Bearish Divergences , the logic inverts (Bear Case vs Bull Case).
Purpose : Prevents trades where you're fighting obvious strength in the opposite direction. This is institutional-grade risk management — don't just evaluate your trade, evaluate the counter-trade simultaneously.
Why This Matters : You might see a bullish divergence at a local low, but if price is deeply below major support EMAs with strong bearish momentum, you're catching a falling knife. The adversarial check catches this and blocks the signal.
5. Confidence Scoring — 0 to 1 Quality Assessment
Every signal that passes initial filters receives a comprehensive quality score:
Formula :
0.30 × normalize(TCS) // Trend context
+ 0.25 × normalize(|DMA|) // Momentum magnitude
+ 0.20 × pullback_quality // Entry distance from EMA20
+ 0.15 × state_quality // ADX + alignment + structure
+ 0.10 × divergence_strength // Slope separation magnitude
+ adversarial_bonus (0-0.30) // Your side's advantage
Purpose : Ranks setup quality for filtering and position sizing decisions. You can set a minimum confidence threshold (default 0.35) to ensure only quality setups reach your chart.
Interpretation :
Confidence > 0.70: Premium setup — consider increased position size
Confidence 0.50-0.70: Good quality — standard size
Confidence 0.35-0.50: Acceptable — reduced size or skip if conservative
Confidence < 0.35: Marginal — blocked in Filtering mode, annotated in Advisory mode
CAE Operating Modes: Learning vs Enforcement
Off : Disables all CAE logic. Raw divergence pipeline only. Use for baseline comparison.
Advisory : Shows ALL signals regardless of CAE evaluation, but annotates signals that WOULD be blocked with specific warnings (e.g., "Bull: strong downtrend (TCS=0.87)" or "Adversarial bearish"). This is your learning mode — see CAE's decision logic in action without missing educational opportunities.
Filtering : Actively blocks low-quality signals. Only setups that pass all enabled gates (Trend Filter, Adversarial Validation, Confidence Gating) reach your chart. This is your live trading mode — trust the system to enforce discipline.
CAE Filter Gates: Three-Layer Protection
When CAE is enabled, signals must pass through three independent gates (each can be toggled on/off):
Gate 1: Strong Trend Filter
If TCS ≥ tcs_threshold (default 0.80)
And signal is counter-trend (bullish in downtrend or bearish in uptrend)
And exhaustion < exhaustion_required (default 0.50)
Then: BLOCK signal
Logic: Don't fade strong trends unless the move is clearly overextended
Gate 2: Adversarial Validation
Calculate both bull case and bear case scores
If opposing case dominates by more than adv_threshold (default 0.10)
Then: BLOCK signal
Logic: Avoid trades where you're fighting obvious strength in the opposite direction
Gate 3: Confidence Gating
Calculate composite confidence score (0-1)
If confidence < min_confidence (default 0.35)
Then: In Filtering mode, BLOCK signal; in Advisory mode, ANNOTATE with warning
Logic: Only take setups with minimum quality threshold
All three gates work together. A signal must pass ALL enabled gates to fire.
Visual Intelligence System
Bifurcation Zones (Supply/Demand Blocks)
When a divergence signal fires, BZ-CAE draws a semi-transparent box extending 15 bars forward from the signal pivot:
Demand Zones (Bullish) : Theme-colored box (cyan in Cyberpunk, blue in Professional, etc.) labeled "Demand" — marks where smart money likely placed buy orders as price diverged at the low.
Supply Zones (Bearish) : Theme-colored box (magenta in Cyberpunk, orange in Professional) labeled "Supply" — marks where smart money likely placed sell orders as price diverged at the high.
Theory : Divergences represent institutional disagreement with the crowd. The crowd pushed price to an extreme (new high or low), but momentum (oscillator) is waning, indicating smart money is taking the opposite side. These zones mark order placement areas that become future support/resistance.
Use Cases :
Exit targets: Take profit when price returns to opposite-side zone
Re-entry levels: If price returns to your entry zone, consider adding
Stop placement: Place stops just beyond your zone (below demand, above supply)
Auto-Cleanup : System keeps the last 20 zones to prevent chart clutter.
Adversarial Bar Coloring — Real-Time Market Debate Heatmap
Each bar is colored based on the Bull Case vs Bear Case differential:
Strong Bull Advantage (diff > 0.3): Full theme bull color (e.g., cyan)
Moderate Bull Advantage (diff > 0.1): 50% transparency bull
Neutral (diff -0.1 to 0.1): Gray/neutral theme
Moderate Bear Advantage (diff < -0.1): 50% transparency bear
Strong Bear Advantage (diff < -0.3): Full theme bear color (e.g., magenta)
This creates a real-time visual heatmap showing which side is "winning" the market debate. When bars flip from cyan to magenta (or vice versa), you're witnessing a shift in adversarial advantage — a leading indicator of potential momentum changes.
Exhaustion Shading
When exhaustion score exceeds 0.75, the chart background displays a semi-transparent yellow highlight. This immediate visual warning alerts you that the current move is at high risk of reversal, even if trend indicators remain strong.
Visual Themes — Six Aesthetic Options
Cyberpunk : Cyan/Magenta/Yellow — High contrast, neon aesthetic, excellent for dark-themed trading environments
Professional : Blue/Orange/Green — Corporate color palette, suitable for presentations and professional documentation
Ocean : Teal/Red/Cyan — Aquatic palette, calming for extended monitoring sessions
Fire : Orange/Red/Coral — Warm aggressive colors, high energy
Matrix : Green/Red/Lime — Code aesthetic, homage to classic hacker visuals
Monochrome : White/Gray — Minimal distraction, maximum focus on price action
All visual elements (signal markers, zones, bar colors, dashboard) adapt to your selected theme.
Divergence Engine — Core Detection System
What Are Divergences?
Divergences occur when price action and momentum indicators disagree, creating structural tension that often resolves in a change of direction:
Regular Divergence (Reversal Signal) :
Bearish Regular : Price makes higher high, oscillator makes lower high → Potential trend reversal down
Bullish Regular : Price makes lower low, oscillator makes higher low → Potential trend reversal up
Hidden Divergence (Continuation Signal) :
Bearish Hidden : Price makes lower high, oscillator makes higher high → Downtrend continuation
Bullish Hidden : Price makes higher low, oscillator makes lower low → Uptrend continuation
Both types can be enabled/disabled independently in settings.
Pivot Detection Methods
BZ-CAE uses symmetric pivot detection with separate lookback and lookforward periods (default 5/5):
Pivot High : Bar where high > all highs within lookback range AND high > all highs within lookforward range
Pivot Low : Bar where low < all lows within lookback range AND low < all lows within lookforward range
This ensures structural validity — the pivot must be a clear local extreme, not just a minor wiggle.
Divergence Validation Requirements
For a divergence to be confirmed, it must satisfy:
Slope Disagreement : Price slope and oscillator slope must move in opposite directions (for regular divs) or same direction with inverted highs/lows (for hidden divs)
Minimum Slope Change : |osc_slope| > min_slope_change / 100 (default 1.0) — filters weak, marginal divergences
Maximum Lookback Range : Pivots must be within max_lookback bars (default 60) — prevents ancient, irrelevant divergences
ATR-Normalized Strength : Divergence strength = min(|price_slope| × |osc_slope| × 10, 1.0) — quantifies the magnitude of disagreement in volatility context
Regular divergences receive 1.0× weight; hidden divergences receive 0.8× weight (slightly less reliable historically).
Oscillator Options — Five Professional Indicators
RSI (Relative Strength Index) : Classic overbought/oversold momentum indicator. Best for: General purpose divergence detection across all instruments.
Stochastic : Range-bound %K momentum comparing close to high-low range. Best for: Mean reversion strategies and range-bound markets.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index) : Measures deviation from statistical mean, auto-normalized to 0-100 scale. Best for: Cyclical instruments and commodities.
MFI (Money Flow Index) : Volume-weighted RSI incorporating money flow. Best for: Volume-driven markets like stocks and crypto.
Williams %R : Inverse stochastic looking back over period, auto-adjusted to 0-100. Best for: Reversal detection at extremes.
Each oscillator has adjustable length (2-200, default 14) and smoothing (1-20, default 1). You also set overbought (50-100, default 70) and oversold (0-50, default 30) thresholds.
Signal Timing Modes — Understanding Repainting
BZ-CAE offers two timing policies with complete transparency about repainting behavior:
Realtime (1-bar, peak-anchored)
How It Works :
Detects peaks 1 bar ago using pattern: high > high AND high > high
Signal prints on the NEXT bar after peak detection (bar_index)
Visual marker anchors to the actual PEAK bar (bar_index - 1, offset -1)
Signal locks in when bar CONFIRMS (closes)
Repainting Behavior :
On the FORMING bar (before close), the peak condition may change as new prices arrive
Once bar CLOSES (barstate.isconfirmed), signal is locked permanently
This is preview/early warning behavior by design
Best For :
Active monitoring and immediate alerts
Learning the system (seeing signals develop in real-time)
Responsive entry if you're watching the chart live
Confirmed (lookforward)
How It Works :
Uses Pine Script's built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions
Requires full pivot validation period (lookback + lookforward bars)
Signal prints pivot_lookforward bars after the actual peak (default 5-bar delay)
Visual marker anchors to the actual peak bar (offset -pivot_lookforward)
No Repainting Behavior
Best For :
Backtesting and historical analysis
Conservative entries requiring full confirmation
Automated trading systems
Swing trading with larger timeframes
Tradeoff :
Delayed entry by pivot_lookforward bars (typically 5 bars)
On a 5-minute chart, this is a 25-minute delay
On a 4-hour chart, this is a 20-hour delay
Recommendation : Use Confirmed for backtesting to verify system performance honestly. Use Realtime for live monitoring only if you're actively watching the chart and understand pre-confirmation repainting behavior.
Signal Spacing System — Anti-Spam Architecture
Even after CAE filtering, raw divergences can cluster. The spacing system enforces separation:
Three Independent Filters
1. Min Bars Between ANY Signals (default 12):
Prevents rapid-fire clustering across both directions
If last signal (bull or bear) was within N bars, block new signal
Ensures breathing room between all setups
2. Min Bars Between SAME-SIDE Signals (default 24, optional enforcement):
Prevents bull-bull or bear-bear spam
Separate tracking for bullish and bearish signal timelines
Toggle enforcement on/off
3. Min ATR Distance From Last Signal (default 0, optional):
Requires price to move N × ATR from last signal location
Ensures meaningful price movement between setups
0 = disabled, 0.5-2.0 = typical range for enabled
All three filters work independently. A signal must pass ALL enabled filters to proceed.
Practical Guidance :
Scalping (1-5m) : Any 6-10, Same-side 12-20, ATR 0-0.5
Day Trading (15m-1H) : Any 12, Same-side 24, ATR 0-1.0
Swing Trading (4H-D) : Any 20-30, Same-side 40-60, ATR 1.0-2.0

🐻 = Bearish momentum (<-0.5)
Color: Green if bullish, red if bearish
Exhaustion :
Current value with emoji warning indicator
⚠️ = High exhaustion (>0.75)
🟡 = Moderate (0.50-0.75)
✓ = Low (<0.50)
Color: Red if high, yellow if moderate, green if low
Pullback :
Quality of current distance from EMA20
Values >0.6 are ideal entry zones (not too close, not too far)
Bull Case / Bear Case (if Adversarial enabled):
Current scores for both sides of the market debate
Differential with emoji indicator:
📈 = Bull advantage (>0.2)
➡️ = Balanced (-0.2 to 0.2)
📉 = Bear advantage (<-0.2)
Last Signal Metrics Section (New Feature)
When a signal fires, this section captures and displays:
Signal type (BULL or BEAR)
Bars elapsed since signal
Confidence % at time of signal
TCS value at signal time
DMA value at signal time
Purpose : Provides a historical reference for learning. You can see what the market state looked like when the last signal fired, helping you correlate outcomes with conditions.
Statistics Section
Total Signals : Lifetime count across session
Blocked Signals : Count and percentage (filter effectiveness metric)
Bull Signals : Total bullish divergences
Bear Signals : Total bearish divergences
Purpose : System health monitoring. If blocked % is very high (>60%), filters may be too strict. If very low (<10%), filters may be too loose.
Advisory Annotations
When CAE Mode = Advisory, this section displays warnings for signals that would be blocked in Filtering mode:
Examples:
"Bull spacing: wait 8 bars"
"Bear: strong uptrend (TCS=0.87)"
"Adversarial bearish"
"Low confidence 32%"
Multiple warnings can stack, separated by " | ". This teaches you CAE's decision logic transparently.
How to Use BZ-CAE — Complete Workflow
Phase 1: Initial Setup (First Session)
Apply BZ-CAE to your chart
Select your preferred Visual Theme (Cyberpunk recommended for visibility)
Set Signal Timing to "Confirmed (lookforward)" for learning
Choose your Oscillator Type (RSI recommended for general use, length 14)
Set Overbought/Oversold to 70/30 (standard)
Enable both Regular Divergence and Hidden Divergence
Set Pivot Lookback/Lookforward to 5/5 (balanced structure)
Enable CAE Intelligence
Set CAE Mode to "Advisory" (learning mode)
Enable all three CAE filters: Strong Trend Filter , Adversarial Validation , Confidence Gating
Enable Show Dashboard , position Top Right, size Normal
Enable Draw Bifurcation Zones and Adversarial Bar Coloring
Phase 2: Learning Period (Weeks 1-2)
Goal : Understand how CAE evaluates market state and filters signals.
Activities :
Watch the dashboard during signals :
Note TCS values when counter-trend signals fail — this teaches you the trend strength threshold for your instrument
Observe exhaustion patterns at actual turning points — learn when overextension truly matters
Study adversarial differential at signal times — see when opposing cases dominate
Review blocked signals (orange X-crosses):
In Advisory mode, you see everything — signals that would pass AND signals that would be blocked
Check the advisory annotations to understand why CAE would block
Track outcomes: Were the blocks correct? Did those signals fail?
Use Last Signal Metrics :
After each signal, check the dashboard capture of confidence, TCS, and DMA
Journal these values alongside trade outcomes
Identify patterns: Do confidence >0.70 signals work better? Does your instrument respect TCS >0.85?
Understand your instrument's "personality" :
Trending instruments (indices, major forex) may need TCS threshold 0.85-0.90
Choppy instruments (low-cap stocks, exotic pairs) may work best with TCS 0.70-0.75
High-volatility instruments (crypto) may need wider spacing
Low-volatility instruments may need tighter spacing
Phase 3: Calibration (Weeks 3-4)
Goal : Optimize settings for your specific instrument, timeframe, and style.
Calibration Checklist :
Min Confidence Threshold :
Review confidence distribution in your signal journal
Identify the confidence level below which signals consistently fail
Set min_confidence slightly above that level
Day trading : 0.35-0.45
Swing trading : 0.40-0.55
Scalping : 0.30-0.40
TCS Threshold :
Find the TCS level where counter-trend signals consistently get stopped out
Set tcs_threshold at or slightly below that level
Trending instruments : 0.85-0.90
Mixed instruments : 0.80-0.85
Choppy instruments : 0.75-0.80
Exhaustion Override Level :
Identify exhaustion readings that marked genuine reversals
Set exhaustion_required just below the average
Typical range : 0.45-0.55
Adversarial Threshold :
Default 0.10 works for most instruments
If you find CAE is too conservative (blocking good trades), raise to 0.15-0.20
If signals are still getting caught in opposing momentum, lower to 0.07-0.09
Spacing Parameters :
Count bars between quality signals in your journal
Set min bars ANY to ~60% of that average
Set min bars SAME-SIDE to ~120% of that average
Scalping : Any 6-10, Same 12-20
Day trading : Any 12, Same 24
Swing : Any 20-30, Same 40-60
Oscillator Selection :
Try different oscillators for 1-2 weeks each
Track win rate and average winner/loser by oscillator type
RSI : Best for general use, clear OB/OS
Stochastic : Best for range-bound, mean reversion
MFI : Best for volume-driven markets
CCI : Best for cyclical instruments
Williams %R : Best for reversal detection
Phase 4: Live Deployment
Goal : Disciplined execution with proven, calibrated system.
Settings Changes :
Switch CAE Mode from Advisory to Filtering
System now actively blocks low-quality signals
Only setups passing all gates reach your chart
Keep Signal Timing on Confirmed for conservative entries
OR switch to Realtime if you're actively monitoring and want faster entries (accept pre-confirmation repaint risk)
Use your calibrated thresholds from Phase 3
Enable high-confidence alerts: "⭐ High Confidence Bullish/Bearish" (>0.70)
Trading Discipline Rules :
Respect Blocked Signals :
If CAE blocks a trade you wanted to take, TRUST THE SYSTEM
Don't manually override — if you consistently disagree, return to Phase 2/3 calibration
The block exists because market state failed intelligence checks
Confidence-Based Position Sizing :
Confidence >0.70: Standard or increased size (e.g., 1.5-2.0% risk)
Confidence 0.50-0.70: Standard size (e.g., 1.0% risk)
Confidence 0.35-0.50: Reduced size (e.g., 0.5% risk) or skip if conservative
TCS-Based Management :
High TCS + counter-trend signal: Use tight stops, quick exits (you're fading momentum)
Low TCS + reversal signal: Use wider stops, trail aggressively (genuine reversal potential)
Exhaustion Awareness :
Exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading): Market is overextended, reversal risk is elevated — consider early exit or tighter trailing stops even on winning trades
Exhaustion <0.30: Continuation bias — hold for larger move, wide trailing stops
Adversarial Context :
Strong differential against you (e.g., bullish signal with bear diff <-0.2): Use very tight stops, consider skipping
Strong differential with you (e.g., bullish signal with bull diff >0.2): Trail aggressively, this is your tailwind
Practical Settings by Timeframe & Style
Scalping (1-5 Minute Charts)
Objective : High frequency, tight stops, quick reversals in fast-moving markets.
Oscillator :
Type: RSI or Stochastic (fast response to quick moves)
Length: 9-11 (more responsive than standard 14)
Smoothing: 1 (no lag)
OB/OS: 65/35 (looser thresholds ensure frequent crossings in fast conditions)
Divergence :
Pivot Lookback/Lookforward: 3/3 (tight structure, catch small swings)
Max Lookback: 40-50 bars (recent structure only)
Min Slope Change: 0.8-1.0 (don't be overly strict)
CAE :
Mode: Advisory first (learn), then Filtering
Min Confidence: 0.30-0.35 (lower bar for speed, accept more signals)
TCS Threshold: 0.70-0.75 (allow more counter-trend opportunities)
Exhaustion Required: 0.45-0.50 (moderate override)
Strong Trend Filter: ON (still respect major intraday trends)
Adversarial: ON (critical for scalping protection — catches bad entries quickly)
Spacing :
Min Bars ANY: 6-10 (fast pace, many setups)
Min Bars SAME-SIDE: 12-20 (prevent clustering)
Min ATR Distance: 0 or 0.5 (loose)
Timing : Realtime (speed over precision, but understand repaint risk)
Visuals :
Signal Size: Tiny (chart clarity in busy conditions)
Show Zones: Optional (can clutter on low timeframes)
Bar Coloring: ON (helps read momentum shifts quickly)
Dashboard: Small size (corner reference, not main focus)
Key Consideration : Scalping generates noise. Even with CAE, expect lower win rate (45-55%) but aim for favorable R:R (2:1 or better). Size conservatively.
Day Trading (15-Minute to 1-Hour Charts)
Objective : Balance quality and frequency. Standard divergence trading approach.
Oscillator :
Type: RSI or MFI (proven reliability, volume confirmation with MFI)
Length: 14 (industry standard, well-studied)
Smoothing: 1-2
OB/OS: 70/30 (classic levels)
Divergence :
Pivot Lookback/Lookforward: 5/5 (balanced structure)
Max Lookback: 60 bars
Min Slope Change: 1.0 (standard strictness)
CAE :
Mode: Filtering (enforce discipline from the start after brief Advisory learning)
Min Confidence: 0.35-0.45 (quality filter without being too restrictive)
TCS Threshold: 0.80-0.85 (respect strong trends)
Exhaustion Required: 0.50 (balanced override threshold)
Strong Trend Filter: ON
Adversarial: ON
Confidence Gating: ON (all three filters active)
Spacing :
Min Bars ANY: 12 (breathing room between all setups)
Min Bars SAME-SIDE: 24 (prevent bull/bear clusters)
Min ATR Distance: 0-1.0 (optional refinement, typically 0.5-1.0)
Timing : Confirmed (1-bar delay for reliability, no repainting)
Visuals :
Signal Size: Tiny or Small
Show Zones: ON (useful reference for exits/re-entries)
Bar Coloring: ON (context awareness)
Dashboard: Normal size (full visibility)
Key Consideration : This is the "sweet spot" timeframe for BZ-CAE. Market structure is clear, CAE has sufficient data, and signal frequency is manageable. Expect 55-65% win rate with proper execution.
Swing Trading (4-Hour to Daily Charts)
Objective : Quality over quantity. High conviction only. Larger stops and targets.
Oscillator :
Type: RSI or CCI (robust on higher timeframes, smooth longer waves)
Length: 14-21 (capture larger momentum swings)
Smoothing: 1-3
OB/OS: 70/30 or 75/25 (strict extremes)
Divergence :
Pivot Lookback/Lookforward: 5/5 or 7/7 (structural purity, major swings only)
Max Lookback: 80-100 bars (broader historical context)
Min Slope Change: 1.2-1.5 (require strong, undeniable divergence)
CAE :
Mode: Filtering (strict enforcement, premium setups only)
Min Confidence: 0.40-0.55 (high bar for entry)
TCS Threshold: 0.85-0.95 (very strong trend protection — don't fade established HTF trends)
Exhaustion Required: 0.50-0.60 (higher bar for override — only extreme exhaustion justifies counter-trend)
Strong Trend Filter: ON (critical on HTF)
Adversarial: ON (avoid obvious bad trades)
Confidence Gating: ON (quality gate essential)
Spacing :
Min Bars ANY: 20-30 (substantial separation)
Min Bars SAME-SIDE: 40-60 (significant breathing room)
Min ATR Distance: 1.0-2.0 (require meaningful price movement)
Timing : Confirmed (purity over speed, zero repaint for swing accuracy)
Visuals :
Signal Size: Small or Normal (clear markers on zoomed-out view)
Show Zones: ON (important HTF levels)
Bar Coloring: ON (long-term trend awareness)
Dashboard: Normal or Large (comprehensive analysis)
Key Consideration : Swing signals are rare but powerful. Expect 2-5 signals per month per instrument. Win rate should be 60-70%+ due to stringent filtering. Position size can be larger given confidence.
Dashboard Interpretation Reference
TCS (Trend Conviction Score) States
0.00-0.50: Weak/Choppy
Emoji: 〰️
Color: Green/cyan
Meaning: No established trend. Range-bound or consolidating. Both reversal and continuation signals viable.
Action: Reversals (regular divs) are safer. Use wider profit targets (market has room to move). Consider mean reversion strategies.
0.50-0.75: Moderate Trend
Emoji: 📊
Color: Yellow/neutral
Meaning: Developing trend but not locked in. Context matters significantly.
Action: Check DMA and exhaustion. If DMA confirms trend and exhaustion is low, favor continuation (hidden divs). If exhaustion is high, reversals are viable.
0.75-0.85: Strong Trend
Emoji: 🔥
Color: Orange/warning
Meaning: Well-established trend with persistence. Counter-trend is high risk.
Action: Require exhaustion >0.50 for counter-trend entries. Favor continuation signals. Use tight stops on counter-trend attempts.
0.85-1.00: Very Strong Trend
Emoji: 🔥🔥
Color: Red/danger (if counter-trading)
Meaning: Locked-in institutional trend. Extremely high risk to fade.
Action: Avoid counter-trend unless exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading). Focus exclusively on continuation opportunities. Momentum is king here.
DMA (Directional Momentum Alignment) Zones
-2.0 to -1.0: Strong Bearish Momentum
Emoji: 🐻🐻
Color: Dark red
Meaning: Powerful downside force. Sellers are in control.
Action: Bullish divergences are counter-momentum (high risk). Bearish divergences are with-momentum (lower risk). Size down on longs.
-0.5 to 0.5: Neutral/Balanced
Emoji: ⚖️
Color: Gray/neutral
Meaning: No strong directional bias. Choppy or consolidating.
Action: Both directions have similar probability. Focus on confidence score and adversarial differential for edge.
1.0 to 2.0: Strong Bullish Momentum
Emoji: 🐂🐂
Color: Bright green/cyan
Meaning: Powerful upside force. Buyers are in control.
Action: Bearish divergences are counter-momentum (high risk). Bullish divergences are with-momentum (lower risk). Size down on shorts.
Exhaustion States
0.00-0.50: Fresh Move
Emoji: ✓
Color: Green
Meaning: Trend is healthy, not overextended. Room to run.
Action: Counter-trend trades are premature. Favor continuation. Hold winners for larger moves. Avoid early exits.
0.50-0.75: Mature Move
Emoji: 🟡
Color: Yellow
Meaning: Move is aging. Watch for signs of climax.
Action: Tighten trailing stops on winning trades. Be ready for reversals. Don't add to positions aggressively.
0.75-0.85: High Exhaustion
Emoji: ⚠️
Color: Orange
Background: Yellow shading appears
Meaning: Move is overextended. Reversal risk elevated significantly.
Action: Counter-trend reversals are higher probability. Consider early exits on with-trend positions. Size up on reversal divergences (if CAE allows).
0.85-1.00: Critical Exhaustion
Emoji: ⚠️⚠️
Color: Red
Background: Yellow shading intensifies
Meaning: Climax conditions. Reversal imminent or underway.
Action: Aggressive reversal trades justified. Exit all with-trend positions. This is where major turns occur.
Confidence Score Tiers
0.00-0.30: Low Quality
Color: Red
Status: Blocked in Filtering mode
Action: Skip entirely. Setup lacks fundamental quality across multiple factors.
0.30-0.50: Moderate Quality
Color: Yellow/orange
Status: Marginal — passes in Filtering only if >min_confidence
Action: Reduced position size (0.5-0.75% risk). Tight stops. Conservative profit targets. Skip if you're selective.
0.50-0.70: High Quality
Color: Green/cyan
Status: Good setup across most quality factors
Action: Standard position size (1.0-1.5% risk). Normal stops and targets. This is your bread-and-butter trade.
0.70-1.00: Premium Quality
Color: Bright green/gold
Status: Exceptional setup — all factors aligned
Visual: Double confidence ring appears
Action: Consider increased position size (1.5-2.0% risk, maximum). Wider stops. Larger targets. High probability of success. These are rare — capitalize when they appear.
Adversarial Differential Interpretation
Bull Differential > 0.3 :
Visual: Strong cyan/green bar colors
Meaning: Bull case strongly dominates. Buyers have clear advantage.
Action: Bullish divergences favored (with-advantage). Bearish divergences face headwind (reduce size or skip). Momentum is bullish.
Bull Differential 0.1 to 0.3 :
Visual: Moderate cyan/green transparency
Meaning: Moderate bull advantage. Buyers have edge but not overwhelming.
Action: Both directions viable. Slight bias toward longs.
Differential -0.1 to 0.1 :
Visual: Gray/neutral bars
Meaning: Balanced debate. No clear advantage either side.
Action: Rely on other factors (confidence, TCS, exhaustion) for direction. Adversarial is neutral.
Bear Differential -0.3 to -0.1 :
Visual: Moderate red/magenta transparency
Meaning: Moderate bear advantage. Sellers have edge but not overwhelming.
Action: Both directions viable. Slight bias toward shorts.
Bear Differential < -0.3 :
Visual: Strong red/magenta bar colors
Meaning: Bear case strongly dominates. Sellers have clear advantage.
Action: Bearish divergences favored (with-advantage). Bullish divergences face headwind (reduce size or skip). Momentum is bearish.
Last Signal Metrics — Post-Trade Analysis
After a signal fires, dashboard captures:
Type : BULL or BEAR
Bars Ago : How long since signal (updates every bar)
Confidence : What was the quality score at signal time
TCS : What was trend conviction at signal time
DMA : What was momentum alignment at signal time
Use Case : Post-trade journaling and learning.
Example: "BULL signal 12 bars ago. Confidence: 68%, TCS: 0.42, DMA: -0.85"
Analysis : This was a bullish reversal (regular div) with good confidence, weak trend (TCS), but strong bearish momentum (DMA). The bet was that momentum would reverse — a counter-momentum play requiring exhaustion confirmation. Check if exhaustion was high at that time to justify the entry.
Track patterns:
Do your best trades have confidence >0.65?
Do low-TCS signals (<0.50) work better for you?
Are you more successful with-momentum (DMA aligned with signal) or counter-momentum?
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: No Signals Appearing
Symptoms : Chart loads, dashboard shows metrics, but no divergence signals fire.
Diagnosis Checklist :
Check dashboard oscillator value : Is it crossing OB/OS levels (70/30)? If oscillator stays in 40-60 range constantly, it can't reach extremes needed for divergence detection.
Are pivots forming? : Look for local swing highs/lows on your chart. If price is in tight consolidation, pivots may not meet lookback/lookforward requirements.
Is spacing too tight? : Check "Last Signal" metrics — how many bars since last signal? If <12 and your min_bars_ANY is 12, spacing filter is blocking.
Is CAE blocking everything? : Check dashboard Statistics section — what's the blocked signal count? High blocks indicate overly strict filters.
Solutions :
Loosen OB/OS Temporarily :
Try 65/35 to verify divergence detection works
If signals appear, the issue was threshold strictness
Gradually tighten back to 67/33, then 70/30 as appropriate
Lower Min Confidence :
Try 0.25-0.30 (diagnostic level)
If signals appear, filter was too strict
Raise gradually to find sweet spot (0.35-0.45 typical)
Disable Strong Trend Filter Temporarily :
Turn off in CAE settings
If signals appear, TCS threshold was blocking everything
Re-enable and lower TCS_threshold to 0.70-0.75
Reduce Min Slope Change :
Try 0.7-0.8 (from default 1.0)
Allows weaker divergences through
Helpful on low-volatility instruments
Widen Spacing :
Set min_bars_ANY to 6-8
Set min_bars_SAME_SIDE to 12-16
Reduces time between allowed signals
Check Timing Mode :
If using Confirmed, remember there's a pivot_lookforward delay (5+ bars)
Switch to Realtime temporarily to verify system is working
Realtime has no delay but repaints
Verify Oscillator Settings :
Length 14 is standard but might not fit all instruments
Try length 9-11 for faster response
Try length 18-21 for slower, smoother response
Problem: Too Many Signals (Signal Spam)
Symptoms : Dashboard shows 50+ signals in Statistics, confidence scores mostly <0.40, signals clustering close together.
Solutions :
Raise Min Confidence :
Try 0.40-0.50 (quality filter)
Blocks bottom-tier setups
Targets top 50-60% of divergences only
Tighten OB/OS :
Use 70/30 or 75/25
Requires more extreme oscillator readings
Reduces false divergences in mid-range
Increase Min Slope Change :
Try 1.2-1.5 (from default 1.0)
Requires stronger, more obvious divergences
Filters marginal slope disagreements
Raise TCS Threshold :
Try 0.85-0.90 (from default 0.80)
Stricter trend filter blocks more counter-trend attempts
Favors only strongest trend alignment
Enable ALL CAE Gates :
Turn on Trend Filter + Adversarial + Confidence
Triple-layer protection
Blocks aggressively — expect 20-40% reduction in signals
Widen Spacing :
min_bars_ANY: 15-20 (from 12)
min_bars_SAME_SIDE: 30-40 (from 24)
Creates substantial breathing room
Switch to Confirmed Timing :
Removes realtime preview noise
Ensures full pivot validation
5-bar delay filters many false starts
Problem: Signals in Strong Trends Get Stopped Out
Symptoms : You take a bullish divergence in a downtrend (or bearish in uptrend), and it immediately fails. Dashboard showed high TCS at the time.
Analysis : This is INTENDED behavior — CAE is protecting you from low-probability counter-trend trades.
Understanding :
Check Last Signal Metrics in dashboard — what was TCS when signal fired?
If TCS was >0.85 and signal was counter-trend, CAE correctly identified it as high risk
Strong trends rarely reverse cleanly without major exhaustion
Your losses here are the system working as designed (blocking bad odds)
If You Want to Override (Not Recommended) :
Lower TCS_threshold to 0.70-0.75 (allows more counter-trend)
Lower exhaustion_required to 0.40 (easier override)
Disable Strong Trend Filter entirely (very risky)
Better Approach :
TRUST THE FILTER — it's preventing costly mistakes
Wait for exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading) before counter-trending strong TCS
Focus on continuation signals (hidden divs) in high-TCS environments
Use Advisory mode to see what CAE is blocking and learn from outcomes
Problem: Adversarial Blocking Seems Wrong
Symptoms : You see a divergence that "looks good" visually, but CAE blocks with "Adversarial bearish/bullish" warning.
Diagnosis :
Check dashboard Bull Case and Bear Case scores at that moment
Look at Differential value
Check adversarial bar colors — was there strong coloring against your intended direction?
Understanding :
Adversarial catches "obvious" opposing momentum that's easy to miss
Example: Bullish divergence at a local low, BUT price is deeply below EMA50, bearish momentum is strong, and RSI shows knife-catching conditions
Bull Case might be 0.20 while Bear Case is 0.55
Differential = -0.35, far beyond threshold
Block is CORRECT — you'd be fighting overwhelming opposing flow
If You Disagree Consistently
Review blocked signals on chart — scroll back and check outcomes
Did those blocked signals actually work, or did they fail as adversarial predicted?
Raise adv_threshold to 0.15-0.20 (more permissive, allows closer battles)
Disable Adversarial Validation temporarily (diagnostic) to isolate its effect
Use Advisory mode to learn adversarial patterns over 50-100 signals
Remember : Adversarial is conservative BY DESIGN. It prevents "obvious" bad trades where you're fighting strong strength the other way.
Problem: Dashboard Not Showing or Incomplete
Solutions :
Toggle "Show Dashboard" to ON in settings
Try different dashboard sizes (Small/Normal/Large)
Try different positions (Top Left/Right, Bottom Left/Right) — might be off-screen
Some sections require CAE Enable = ON (Cognitive Engine section won't appear if CAE is disabled)
Statistics section requires at least 1 lifetime signal to populate
Check that visual theme is set (dashboard colors adapt to theme)
Problem: Performance Lag, Chart Freezing
Symptoms : Chart loading is slow, indicator calculations cause delays, pinch-to-zoom lags.
Diagnosis : Visual features are computationally expensive, especially adversarial bar coloring (recalculates every bar).
Solutions (In Order of Impact) :
Disable Adversarial Bar Coloring (MOST EXPENSIVE):
Turn OFF "Adversarial Bar Coloring" in settings
This is the single biggest performance drain
Immediate improvement
Reduce Vertical Lines :
Lower "Keep last N vertical lines" to 20-30
Or set to 0 to disable entirely
Moderate improvement
Disable Bifurcation Zones :
Turn OFF "Draw Bifurcation Zones"
Reduces box drawing calculations
Moderate improvement
Set Dashboard Size to Small :
Smaller dashboard = fewer cells = less rendering
Minor improvement
Use Shorter Max Lookback :
Reduce max_lookback to 40-50 (from 60+)
Fewer bars to scan for divergences
Minor improvement
Disable Exhaustion Shading :
Turn OFF "Show Market State"
Removes background coloring calculations
Minor improvement
Extreme Performance Mode :
Disable ALL visual enhancements
Keep only triangle markers
Dashboard Small or OFF
Use Minimal theme if available
Problem: Realtime Signals Repainting
Symptoms : You see a signal appear, but on next bar it disappears or moves.
Explanation :
Realtime mode detects peaks 1 bar ago: high > high AND high > high
On the FORMING bar (before close), this condition can change as new prices arrive
Example: At 10:05, high (10:04 bar) was 100, current high is 99 → peak detected
At 10:05:30, new high of 101 arrives → peak condition breaks → signal disappears
At 10:06 (bar close), final high is 101 → no peak at 10:04 anymore → signal gone permanently
This is expected behavior for realtime responsiveness. You get preview/early warning, but it's not locked until bar confirms.
Solutions :
Use Confirmed Timing :
Switch to "Confirmed (lookforward)" mode
ZERO repainting — pivot must be fully validated
5-bar delay (pivot_lookforward)
What you see in history is exactly what would have appeared live
Accept Realtime Repaint as Tradeoff :
Keep Realtime mode for speed and alerts
Understand that pre-confirmation signals may vanish
Only trade signals that CONFIRM at bar close (check barstate.isconfirmed)
Use for live monitoring, NOT for backtesting
Trade Only After Confirmation :
In Realtime mode, wait 1 full bar after signal appears before entering
If signal survives that bar close, it's locked
This adds 1-bar delay but removes repaint risk
Recommendation : Use Confirmed for backtesting and conservative trading. Use Realtime only for active monitoring with full understanding of preview behavior.
Risk Management Integration
BZ-CAE is a signal generation system, not a complete trading strategy. You must integrate proper risk management:
Position Sizing by Confidence
Confidence 0.70-1.00 (Premium) :
Risk: 1.5-2.0% of account (MAXIMUM)
Reasoning: High-quality setup across all factors
Still cap at 2% — even premium setups can fail
Confidence 0.50-0.70 (High Quality) :
Risk: 1.0-1.5% of account
Reasoning: Standard good setup
Your bread-and-butter risk level
Confidence 0.35-0.50 (Moderate Quality) :
Risk: 0.5-1.0% of account
Reasoning: Marginal setup, passes minimum threshold
Reduce size or skip if you're selective
Confidence <0.35 (Low Quality) :
Risk: 0% (blocked in Filtering mode)
Reasoning: Insufficient quality factors
System protects you by not showing these
Stop Placement Strategies
For Reversal Signals (Regular Divergences) :
Place stop beyond the divergence pivot plus buffer
Bullish : Stop below the divergence low - 1.0-1.5 × ATR
Bearish : Stop above the divergence high + 1.0-1.5 × ATR
Reasoning: If price breaks the pivot, divergence structure is invalidated
For Continuation Signals (Hidden Divergences) :
Place stop beyond recent swing in opposite direction
Bullish continuation : Stop below recent swing low (not the divergence pivot itself)
Bearish continuation : Stop above recent swing high
Reasoning: You're trading with trend, allow more breathing room
ATR-Based Stops :
1.5-2.0 × ATR is standard
Scale by timeframe:
Scalping (1-5m): 1.0-1.5 × ATR (tight)
Day trading (15m-1H): 1.5-2.0 × ATR (balanced)
Swing (4H-D): 2.0-3.0 × ATR (wide)
Never Use Fixed Dollar/Pip Stops :
Markets have different volatility
50-pip stop on EUR/USD ≠ 50-pip stop on GBP/JPY
Always normalize by ATR or pivot structure
Profit Targets and Scaling
Primary Target :
2-3 × ATR from entry (minimum 2:1 reward-risk)
Example : Entry at 100, ATR = 2, stop at 97 (1.5 × ATR) → target at 106 (3 × ATR) = 2:1 R:R
Scaling Out Strategy :
Take 50% off at 1.5 × ATR (secure partial profit)
Move stop to breakeven
Trail remaining 50% with 1.0 × ATR trailing stop
Let winners run if trend persists
Targets by Confidence :
High Confidence (>0.70) : Aggressive targets (3-4 × ATR), trail wider (1.5 × ATR)
Standard Confidence (0.50-0.70) : Normal targets (2-3 × ATR), standard trail (1.0 × ATR)
Low Confidence (0.35-0.50) : Conservative targets (1.5-2 × ATR), tight trail (0.75 × ATR)
Use Bifurcation Zones :
If opposite-side zone is visible on chart (from previous signal), use it as target
Example : Bullish signal at 100, prior supply zone at 110 → use 110 as target
Zones mark institutional resistance/support
Exhaustion-Based Exits :
If you're in a trade and exhaustion >0.75 develops (yellow shading), consider early exit
Market is overextended — reversal risk is high
Take profit even if target not reached
Trade Management by TCS
High TCS + Counter-Trend Trade (Risky) :
Use very tight stops (1.0-1.5 × ATR)
Conservative targets (1.5-2 × ATR)
Quick exit if trade doesn't work immediately
You're fading momentum — respect it
Low TCS + Reversal Trade (Safer) :
Use wider stops (2.0-2.5 × ATR)
Aggressive targets (3-4 × ATR)
Trail with patience
Genuine reversal potential in weak trend
High TCS + Continuation Trade (Safest) :
Standard stops (1.5-2.0 × ATR)
Very aggressive targets (4-5 × ATR)
Trail wide (1.5-2.0 × ATR)
You're with institutional momentum — let it run
Educational Value — Learning Machine Intelligence
BZ-CAE is designed as a learning platform, not just a tool:
Advisory Mode as Teacher
Most indicators are binary: signal or no signal. You don't learn WHY certain setups are better.
BZ-CAE's Advisory mode shows you EVERY potential divergence, then annotates the ones that would be blocked in Filtering mode with specific reasons:
"Bull: strong downtrend (TCS=0.87)" teaches you that TCS >0.85 makes counter-trend very risky
"Adversarial bearish" teaches you that the opposing case was dominating
"Low confidence 32%" teaches you that the setup lacked quality across multiple factors
"Bull spacing: wait 8 bars" teaches you that signals need breathing room
After 50-100 signals in Advisory mode, you internalize the CAE's decision logic. You start seeing these factors yourself BEFORE the indicator does.
Dashboard Transparency
Most "intelligent" indicators are black boxes — you don't know how they make decisions.
BZ-CAE shows you ALL metrics in real-time:
TCS tells you trend strength
DMA tells you momentum alignment
Exhaustion tells you overextension
Adversarial shows both sides of the debate
Confidence shows composite quality
You learn to interpret market state holistically, a skill applicable to ANY trading system beyond this indicator.
Divergence Quality Education
Not all divergences are equal. BZ-CAE teaches you which conditions produce high-probability setups:
Quality divergence : Regular bullish div at a low, TCS <0.50 (weak trend), exhaustion >0.75 (overextended), positive adversarial differential, confidence >0.70
Low-quality divergence : Regular bearish div at a high, TCS >0.85 (strong uptrend), exhaustion <0.30 (not overextended), negative adversarial differential, confidence <0.40
After using the system, you can evaluate divergences manually with similar intelligence.
Risk Management Discipline
Confidence-based position sizing teaches you to adjust risk based on setup quality, not emotions:
Beginners often size all trades identically
Or worse, size UP on marginal setups to "make up" for losses
BZ-CAE forces systematic sizing: premium setups get larger size, marginal setups get smaller size
This creates a probabilistic approach where your edge compounds over time.
What This Indicator Is NOT
Complete transparency about limitations and positioning:
Not a Prediction System
BZ-CAE does not predict future prices. It identifies structural divergences (price-momentum disagreements) and assesses current market state (trend, exhaustion, adversarial conditions). It tells you WHEN conditions favor a potential reversal or continuation, not WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
Markets are probabilistic. Even premium-confidence setups fail ~30-40% of the time. The system improves your probability distribution over many trades — it doesn't eliminate risk.
Not Fully Automated
This is a decision support tool, not a trading robot. You must:
Execute trades manually based on signals
Manage positions (stops, targets, trailing)
Apply discretionary judgment (news events, liquidity, context)
Integrate with your broader strategy and risk rules
The confidence scores guide position sizing, but YOU determine final risk allocation based on your account size, risk tolerance, and portfolio context.
Not Beginner-Friendly
BZ-CAE requires understanding of:
Divergence trading concepts (regular vs hidden, reversal vs continuation)
Market state interpretation (trend vs range, momentum, exhaustion)
Basic technical analysis (pivots, support/resistance, EMAs)
Risk management fundamentals (position sizing, stops, R:R)
This is designed for intermediate to advanced traders willing to invest time learning the system. If you want "buy the arrow" simplicity, this isn't the tool.
Not a Holy Grail
There is no perfect indicator. BZ-CAE filters noise and improves signal quality significantly, but:
Losing trades are inevitable (even at 70% win rate, 30% still fail)
Market conditions change rapidly (yesterday's strong trend becomes today's chop)
Black swan events occur (fundamentals override technicals)
Execution matters (slippage, fees, emotional discipline)
The system provides an EDGE, not a guarantee. Your job is to execute that edge consistently with proper risk management over hundreds of trades.
Not Financial Advice
BZ-CAE is an educational and analytical tool. All trading decisions are your responsibility. Past performance (backtested or live) does not guarantee future results. Only risk capital you can afford to lose. Consult a licensed financial advisor for investment advice specific to your situation.
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance Characteristics
Liquid Instruments :
Major forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY)
Large-cap stocks and index ETFs (SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT)
High-volume crypto (BTC, ETH)
Major commodities (Gold, Oil, Natural Gas)
Reasoning: Clean price structure, clear pivots, meaningful oscillator behavior
Trending with Consolidations :
Markets that trend for 20-40 bars, then consolidate 10-20 bars, repeat
Creates divergences at consolidation boundaries (reversals) and within trends (continuations)
Both regular and hidden divs find opportunities
5-Minute to Daily Timeframes :
Below 5m: too much noise, false pivots, CAE metrics unstable
Above daily: too few signals, edge diminishes (fundamentals dominate)
Sweet spot: 15m to 4H for most traders
Consistent Volume and Participation :
Regular trading sessions (not holidays or thin markets)
Predictable volatility patterns
Avoid instruments with sudden gaps or circuit breakers
Challenging Conditions
Extremely Low Liquidity :
Penny stocks, exotic forex pairs, low-volume crypto
Erratic pivots, unreliable oscillator readings
CAE metrics can't assess market state properly
Very Low Timeframes (1-Minute or Below) :
Dominated by market microstructure noise
Divergences are everywhere but meaningless
CAE filtering helps but still unreliable
Extended Sideways Consolidation :
100+ bars of tight range with no clear pivots
Oscillator hugs midpoint (45-55 range)
No divergences to detect
Fundamentally-Driven Gap Markets :
Earnings releases, economic data, geopolitical events
Price gaps over stops and targets
Technical structure breaks down
Recommendation: Disable trading around known events
Calculation Methodology — Technical Depth
For users who want to understand the math:
Oscillator Computation
Each oscillator type calculates differently, but all normalize to 0-100:
RSI : ta.rsi(close, length) — Standard Relative Strength Index
Stochastic : ta.stoch(high, low, close, length) — %K calculation
CCI : (ta.cci(hlc3, length) + 100) / 2 — Normalized from -100/+100 to 0-100
MFI : ta.mfi(hlc3, length) — Volume-weighted RSI equivalent
Williams %R : ta.wpr(length) + 100 — Inverted stochastic adjusted to 0-100
Smoothing: If smoothing > 1, apply ta.sma(oscillator, smoothing)
Divergence Detection Algorithm
Identify Pivots :
Price high pivot: ta.pivothigh(high, lookback, lookforward)
Price low pivot: ta.pivotlow(low, lookback, lookforward)
Oscillator high pivot: ta.pivothigh(osc, lookback, lookforward)
Oscillator low pivot: ta.pivotlow(osc, lookback, lookforward)
Store Recent Pivots :
Maintain arrays of last 10 pivots with bar indices
When new pivot confirmed, unshift to array, pop oldest if >10
Scan for Slope Disagreements :
Loop through last 5 pivots
For each pair (current pivot, historical pivot):
Check if within max_lookback bars
Calculate slopes: (current - historical) / bars_between
Regular bearish: price_slope > 0, osc_slope < 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Regular bullish: price_slope < 0, osc_slope > 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Hidden bearish: price_slope < 0, osc_slope > 0, osc_slope > min_threshold
Hidden bullish: price_slope > 0, osc_slope < 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Important Disclaimers and Terms
Performance Disclosure
Past performance, whether backtested or live-traded, does not guarantee future results. Markets change. What works today may not work tomorrow. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading.
Risk of Loss
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Only trade with risk capital you can afford to lose entirely. The high degree of leverage often available in trading can work against you as well as for you. Leveraged trading may result in losses exceeding your initial deposit.
Not Financial Advice
BZ-CAE is an educational and analytical tool for technical analysis. It is not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or instrument. All trading decisions are your sole responsibility. Consult a licensed financial advisor for advice specific to your circumstances.
Technical Indicator Limitations
BZ-CAE is a technical analysis tool based on price and volume data. It does not account for:
Fundamental analysis (earnings, economic data, financial health)
Market sentiment and positioning
Geopolitical events and news
Liquidity conditions and market microstructure changes
Regulatory changes or exchange rules
Integrate with broader analysis and strategy. Do not rely solely on technical indicators for trading decisions.
Repainting Acknowledgment
As disclosed throughout this documentation:
Realtime mode may repaint on forming bars before confirmation (by design for preview functionality)
Confirmed mode has zero repainting (fully validated pivots only)
Choose timing mode appropriate for your use case. Understand the tradeoffs.
Testing Recommendation
ALWAYS test on demo/paper accounts before committing real capital. Validate the indicator's behavior on your specific instruments and timeframes. Learn the system thoroughly in Advisory mode before using Filtering mode.

Final Word — Philosophy of BZ-CAE
BZ-CAE is not designed to replace your judgment — it's designed to enhance it.
The indicator identifies structural inflection points (bifurcations) where price and momentum disagree. The Cognitive Engine evaluates market state to determine if this disagreement is meaningful or noise. The Adversarial model debates both sides of the trade to catch obvious bad setups. The Confidence system ranks quality so you can choose your risk appetite.
But YOU still execute. YOU still manage risk. YOU still learn from outcomes.
This is intelligence amplification, not intelligence replacement.
Use Advisory mode to learn how expert traders evaluate market state. Use Filtering mode to enforce discipline when emotions run high. Use the dashboard to develop a systematic approach to reading markets. Use confidence scores to size positions probabilistically.
The system provides an edge. Your job is to execute that edge with discipline, patience, and proper risk management over hundreds of trades.
Markets are probabilistic. No system wins every trade. But a systematic edge + disciplined execution + proper risk management compounds over time. That's the path to consistent profitability. BZ-CAE gives you the edge. The discipline and risk management are on you.
Taking you to school. — Dskyz, Trade with insight. Trade with anticipation.

Relative Strength Index Remastered [CHE]Relative Strength Index Remastered — Enhanced RSI with robust divergence detection using price-based pivots and line-of-sight validation to reduce false signals compared to the standard RSI indicator.
Summary
RSI Remastered builds on the classic Relative Strength Index by adding a more reliable divergence detection system that relies on price pivots rather than RSI pivots alone, incorporating a line-of-sight check to ensure the RSI path between points remains clear. This approach filters out many false divergences that occur in the original RSI indicator due to its volatile pivot detection on the RSI line itself. Users benefit from clearer reversal and continuation signals, especially in noisy markets, with optional hidden divergence support for trend confirmation. The core RSI calculation and smoothing options remain familiar, but the divergence logic provides materially fewer alerts while maintaining sensitivity.
Motivation: Why this design?
The standard RSI indicator often generates misleading divergence signals because it detects pivots directly on the RSI values, which can fluctuate erratically in volatile conditions, leading to frequent false positives that confuse traders during ranging or choppy price action. RSI Remastered addresses this by shifting pivot detection to the underlying price highs and lows, which are more stable, and adding a validation step that confirms the RSI line does not cross the direct path between pivot points. This design targets the real problem of over-signaling in the original, promoting more actionable insights without altering the RSI's core momentum measurement.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: The classical TradingView RSI indicator, which uses simple RSI-based pivot detection for divergences.
- Architecture differences:
- Pivot identification on price extremes (highs and lows) instead of RSI values, extracting RSI levels at those points for comparison.
- Addition of a line-of-sight validation that checks the RSI path bar by bar between pivots to prevent signals where the line is interrupted.
- Inclusion of hidden divergence types alongside regular ones, using the same robust framework.
- Configurable drawing of connecting lines between validated pivot RSI points for visual clarity.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer but higher-quality divergence markers and lines, reducing clutter from the original's frequent RSI pivot triggers; this matters for avoiding whipsaws in intraday trading, where the standard version might flag dozens of invalid setups per session.

How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the core RSI value based on recent price changes, separating upward and downward movements over the specified length and smoothing them to derive a momentum reading scaled between zero and one hundred. This value is then plotted in a separate pane with fixed upper and lower reference lines at seventy and thirty, along with optional gradient fills to highlight overbought and oversold zones.
For smoothing, a moving average type is applied to the RSI if enabled, with an option to add bands around it based on the variability of recent RSI values scaled by a multiplier. Divergence detection activates on confirmed price pivots: lows for bullish checks and highs for bearish. At each new pivot, the system retrieves the bar index and values (price and RSI) for the current and prior pivot, ensuring they fall within a configurable bar range to avoid unrelated points.
Comparisons then assess whether the price has made a lower low (or higher high) while the RSI at those points moves in the opposite direction—higher for bullish regular, lower for bearish regular. For hidden types, the directions reverse to capture trend strength. The line-of-sight check calculates the straight path between the two RSI points and verifies that the actual RSI values in between stay entirely above (for bullish) or below (for bearish) that path, breaking the signal if any bar violates it. Valid signals trigger shapes at the RSI level of the new pivot and optional lines connecting the points. Initialization uses built-in functions to track prior occurrences, with states persisting across bars for accurate historical comparisons. No higher timeframe data is used, so confirmation occurs after the right pivot bars close, minimizing live-bar repaints.
Parameter Guide
Length — Controls the period for measuring price momentum changes — Default: 14 — Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter values increase responsiveness but add noise and more false signals; longer smooths trends but delays entries in fast markets.
Source — Selects the price input for RSI calculation — Default: Close — Trade-offs/Tips: Use high or low for volatility focus, but close works best for most assets; mismatches can skew overbought/oversold reads.
Calculate Divergence — Enables the enhanced divergence logic — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Disable for pure RSI view to save computation; essential for signal reliability over the standard method.
Type (Smoothing) — Chooses the moving average applied to RSI — Default: SMA — Trade-offs/Tips: None for raw RSI; EMA for quicker adaptation, but SMA reduces whipsaws; Bollinger Bands option adds volatility context at cost of added lines.
Length (Smoothing) — Period for the smoothing average — Default: 14 — Trade-offs/Tips: Match RSI length for consistency; shorter boosts signal speed but amplifies noise in the smoothed line.
BB StdDev — Multiplier for band width around smoothed RSI — Default: 2.0 — Trade-offs/Tips: Lower narrows bands for tighter signals, risking more touches; higher widens for fewer but stronger breakouts.
Pivot Left — Bars to the left for confirming price pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Increase for stricter pivots in noisy data, reducing signals; too high delays confirmation excessively.
Pivot Right — Bars to the right for confirming price pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Balances with left for symmetry; longer right ensures maturity but shifts signals backward.
Max Bars Between Pivots — Upper limit on distance for valid pivot pairs — Default: 60 — Trade-offs/Tips: Tighten for short-term trades to focus recent action; widen for swing setups but risks unrelated comparisons.
Min Bars Between Pivots — Lower limit to avoid clustered pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Raise to filter micro-moves; too low invites overlapping signals like the original RSI.
Detect Hidden — Includes trend-continuation hidden types — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Enable for full trend analysis; disable simplifies to reversals only, akin to basic RSI.
Draw Lines — Shows connecting lines between valid pivots — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Turn off for cleaner charts; helps visually confirm line-of-sight in backtests.
Reading & Interpretation
The main RSI line oscillates between zero and one hundred, crossing above fifty suggesting building momentum and below indicating weakness; touches near seventy or thirty flag potential extremes. The optional smoothed line and bands provide a filtered view—price above the upper band on the RSI pane hints at overextension. Divergence shapes appear as upward labels for bullish (lime for regular, teal for hidden) and downward for bearish (red regular, orange hidden) at the pivot's RSI level, signaling a mismatch only after validation. Connecting lines, if drawn, slope between points without RSI interference, their color matching the shape type; a dashed style denotes hidden. Fewer shapes overall compared to the standard RSI mean higher conviction, but always confirm with price structure.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs on regular bullish shapes near support with higher highs in price; filter hidden bullish for pullback buys in uptrends, pairing with a rising smoothed RSI above fifty.
- Exits/Stops: Use bearish regular as reversal warnings to tighten stops; hidden bearish in downtrends confirms continuation—exit if lines show RSI crossing the path.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex and stocks on one-hour charts; for crypto volatility, widen pivot ranges to ten; scale min/max bars proportionally on daily for swings, avoiding the original's intraday spam.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm only after the right pivot bars close, so live bars may show tentative pivots that vanish on close, unlike the standard RSI's immediate RSI-pivot triggers—plan for this delay in automation. No higher timeframe calls, so no security-related repaints. Resources include up to two hundred lines and labels for dense charts, with a loop in validation scanning up to three hundred bars between pivots, which is efficient but could slow on very long histories. Known limits: Slight lag at pivot confirmation in trending markets; volatile RSI might rarely miss fine path violations; not ideal for gap-heavy assets where pivots skip.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with defaults for balanced momentum and divergence on most timeframes. For too many signals (like the original), raise pivot left/right to eight and min bars to ten to filter noise. If sluggish in trends, shorten RSI length to nine and enable EMA smoothing for faster adaptation. In high-volatility assets, widen max bars to one hundred but disable hidden to focus essentials. For clean reversal hunts, set smoothing to none and lines on.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
RSI Remastered serves as a refined momentum and divergence visualization tool, enhancing the standard RSI for better signal quality in technical analysis setups. It is not a standalone trading system, nor does it predict price moves—pair it with volume, structure breaks, and risk rules for decisions. Use alongside position sizing and broader context, not in isolation.
