PEG RSI [Auto EPS Growth]The PEG RSI is a hybrid indicator that combines fundamental valuation with technical momentum. It applies the Relative Strength Index (RSI) directly to the Price/Earnings-to-Growth (PEG) Ratio.
Unlike traditional PEG indicators that require manual input for growth rates, this script automatically calculates the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of Earnings Per Share (EPS) based on historical data.
Key Features
- Auto-Calculated Growth: Uses historical TTM Earnings Per Share (EPS) to calculate the CAGR over a user-defined period (Default: 4 years).
- Dynamic Valuation: Converts the static PEG ratio into an oscillator (RSI) to identify relative valuation extremes.
- Trend & Momentum: Visualizes the momentum of the PEG ratio relative to its own history.
Educational Case Study
This indicator is designed for educational purposes and research. Instead of relying on fixed overbought or oversold levels, users are encouraged to study the correlation between the PEG RSI and price action independently.
- Observe how the price reacts when the PEG RSI reaches upper or lower extremes.
- Different stocks may respect different RSI zones based on their growth stability.
- Use this tool to analyze how market valuation momentum shifts over time.
Settings:
- Years for CAGR Growth: Timeframe to calculate EPS growth (Default: 4 years).
- RSI Length: Lookback period for the RSI calculation (Default: 14).
Note: This indicator works best on stocks with a consistent history of earnings. It requires financial data to function (will not work on assets without EPS like Crypto or Forex).

Adaptive Volatility Stop by Pedro Paulo de MeloStop ATR is a clean and reliable volatility-based trailing stop system, built to adapt dynamically to market conditions using the Average True Range (ATR).
It identifies trend direction, adjusts the stop level using stair-step logic, and automatically flips the stop when price reversals occur.
How it works
Uses ATR × Multiplier to calculate an adaptive volatility buffer
Tracks trend direction internally
Recomputes and repositions the stop when a trend flip is detected
Plots separate lines for bullish and bearish stop states
Works on any market and timeframe (crypto, forex, commodities, indices, stocks)
Why it’s useful
This Stop ATR implementation is extremely stable and visually clean.
It is particularly effective for:
Trend following
Position management
Swing and position trading
Systematic stop placement
Unlike many ATR-based stop versions, this script uses a corrected flip-handling method that prevents stop misalignment and ensures consistent trend state tracking.
Inputs
Period — ATR length
Multiplier — ATR factor that defines stop distance

CEF (Chaos Theory Regime Oscillator)Chaos Theory Regime Oscillator
This script is open to the community.
What is it?
The CEF (Chaos Entropy Fusion) Oscillator is a next-generation "Regime Analysis" tool designed to replace traditional, static momentum indicators like RSI or MACD. Unlike standard oscillators that only look at price changes, CEF analyzes the "character" of the market using concepts from Chaos Theory and Information Theory.
It combines advanced mathematical engines (Hurst Exponent, Entropy, VHF) to determine whether a price movement is a real trend or just random noise. It uses a novel "Adaptive Normalization" technique to solve scaling problems common in advanced indicators, ensuring the oscillator remains sensitive yet stable across all assets (Crypto, Forex, Stocks).
What It Promises:
Intelligent Filtering: Filters out false signals in sideways (volatile) markets using the Hurst Base to measure trend continuity.
Dynamic Adaptation: Automatically adapts to volatility. Thanks to trend memory, it doesn't get stuck at the top during uptrends or at the bottom during downtrends.
No Repainting: All signals are confirmed at the close of the bar. They don't repaint or disappear.
What It Doesn't Promise:
Magic Wand: It's a powerful analytical tool, not a crystal ball. It determines the regime, but risk management is up to the investor.
Late-Free Holy Grail: It deliberately uses advanced correction algorithms (WMA/SMA) to provide stability and filter out noise. Speed is sacrificed for accuracy.
Which Concepts Are Used for Which Purpose?
CEF is built on proven mathematical concepts while creating a unique "Fusion" mechanism. These are not used in their standard forms, but are remixed to create a consensus engine:
Hurst Exponent: Used to measure the "memory" of the time series. Tells the oscillator whether there is a probability of the trend continuing or reversing to the mean.
Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF): Determines whether the market is in a trend phase or a congestion phase.
Shannon Entropy: Measures the "irregularity" or "unpredictability" of market data to adjust signal sensitivity.
Adaptive Normalization (Key Innovation): Instead of fixed limits, the oscillator dynamically scales itself based on recent historical performance, solving the "flat line" problem seen in other advanced scripts.
Original Methodology and Community Contribution
This algorithm is a custom synthesis of public domain mathematical theories. The author's unique contribution lies in the "Adaptive Normalization Logic" and the custom weighting of Chaos components to filter momentum.
Why Public Domain? Standard indicators (RSI, MACD) were developed for the markets of the 1970s. Modern markets require modern mathematics. This script is presented to the community to demonstrate how Regime Analysis can improve trading decisions compared to static tools.
What Problems Does It Solve?
Problem 1: The "Stagnant Market" Trap
CEF Solution: While the RSI gives false signals in a sideways market, CEF's Hurst/VHF filter suppresses the signal, essentially making the histogram "off" (or weak) during noise.
Problem 2: The "Overbought" Fallacy
CEF Solution: In a strong trend (Pump/Dump), traditional oscillators get stuck at 100 or 0. CEF uses "Trend Memory" to understand that an overbought price is not a reversal signal but a sign of trend strength, and keeps the signal green/red instead of reversing it prematurely. Problem 3: Visual Confusion
CEF Solution: Instead of multiple lines, it presents a single, color-coded histogram featuring only prominent "Smart Circles" at high-probability reversal points.
Automation Ready: Custom Alerts
CEF is designed for both manual trading and automation.
Smart Buy/Sell Circles: Visual signals that only appear when trend filters are aligned with momentum reversals.
Deviation Labels: Automatically detects and labels structural divergences between price and entropy.
Disclaimer: This indicator is for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always practice appropriate risk management.

Works on Crypto, Forex, and all correlated assets.
Vassago & Tesla Ex-Machina 197 45 21 [Hakan Yorganci]Vassago & Tesla Ex-Machina 197 45 21
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." — Arthur C. Clarke
🌑 The Genesis: Algorithmic Esotericism
This script is not merely a technical indicator; it is a digital artifact born from the convergence of Software Engineering and Hermetic Tradition.
As a developer and researcher dedicated to "Technomancy"—the study of applying esoteric logic to computational systems—I designed this algorithm using a custom, experimental programming environment I am currently developing. My goal was to move beyond standard, arbitrary financial inputs (like the default 200 SMA or 14 RSI) and instead derive parameters based on Universal Harmonics and Historical Archetypes.
This indicator, Ex-Machina, is the result of that transmutation. It applies ancient numeric precision to modern market chaos.
🔢 Decoding the Protocol: 197 - 45 - 21
Why these specific numbers? They were not chosen randomly; they were calculated through specific harmonic reductions to filter out market noise.
1. The Harmonic Trend (Tesla Protocol)
* The Logic: Standard analysis uses the 200-period Moving Average simply out of habit. However, applying Nikola Tesla’s 3-6-9 vibrational principles, the engine reduced the period to 197.
* The Numerology: 1+9+7 = 17 \rightarrow 1+7 = \mathbf{8}. In esoteric numerology, 8 represents infinite power, authority, and financial flow. This creates a baseline that aligns more organically with market accumulation than the static 200.
2. The Hidden Dip (Solomonic Sight)
* The Archetype: Based on the attributes of Vassago, the archetype of discovering "hidden things," the algorithm identified 45 as the precise threshold for a "Sniper Entry."
* The Function: Unlike the standard 30 RSI, this level identifies the exact moment a correction matures within a bullish trend—catching the dip before the crowd returns.
3. The Prophetic Vision
* The Logic: Using the Fibonacci Sequence, the indicator projects the support line 21 bars into the future.
* The Utility: This allows you to visualize where the support will be, granting you foresight before price action arrives.
⚖️ The Dual Mode Engine: Sealed vs. Living
Respecting the user's will, I have engineered this script as a Hybrid System. You can choose how the "spirit" of the code interacts with the market via the settings menu.
1. The Sealed Ritual (Default - Unchecked)
* Philosophy: "Trust in the Constants."
* Behavior: Strictly adheres to the 197 SMA and 45 RSI.
* Visual: Displays a Blue Trend Line.
* Best For: Traders who value stability, long-term trends, and the unyielding nature of harmonic mathematics.
2. The Living Spirit (Adaptive Mode - Checked)
* Philosophy: "As the market breathes, so does the code."
* Behavior:
* Transmutation: The trend line shifts from a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to an Exponential Moving Average (EMA 197) for faster reaction.
* Adaptive Volatility: The RSI entry level (45) becomes dynamic. It expands and contracts based on ATR (Average True Range). In high volatility, it demands a deeper dip to trigger a signal, protecting you from fake-outs.
* Visual: Displays a Fuchsia (Pink) Trend Line.
* Best For: Volatile markets (Crypto/Forex) and traders who want the algorithm to "sense" the fear and greed in the air.
⚙️ How to Trade
* Timeframe: Optimized for 4H (The Builder) and 1D (The Architect).
* The Signal: Wait for the "EX-MACHINA ENTRY" label. This signal manifests ONLY when:
* Price is holding above the 197 Harmonic Trend.
* Momentum crosses the Optimized Threshold (45 or Adaptive).
* Trend Strength is confirmed via ADX.
Author's Note:
I built this tool for those who understand that code is the modern spellbook. Use it wisely, risk responsibly, and let the harmonics guide your entries.

Session Highs and Lows🔑 Key Levels: Session Liquidity & Structure Mapper
The Key Levels indicator is an essential tool for traders as it automatically plots and projects critical Highs and Lows established during key trading sessions. These levels represent major liquidity pools and define the current market structure, serving as high-probability targets, support, or resistance for the remainder of the trading day.
⚙️ Core Functionality
The indicator operates in two distinct modes, tailored for different asset classes:
1. Asset Class Mode (Toggle)
You can switch between two predefined setups depending on the asset you are trading:
Stock Mode (RTH/ETH): Designed for US stocks and futures (e.g., NQ, ES, YM). It tracks and projects levels for Regular Trading Hours (RTH) (09:30-16:00) and Extended Hours (ETH) (16:00-09:30).
Forex/Default Mode (Asia/London/NY): Designed for global markets (e.g., currency pairs). It tracks and projects levels for the three major liquidity sessions: Asia (19:00-03:00), London (03:00-09:30), and New York (09:30-16:00).
🗺️ Key Levels Mapped
The script continuously tracks and plots the most significant structural levels:
Current Session High/Low: The running high and low of the currently active session.
Previous Session High/Low: The confirmed high and low from the most recently completed session. These are often targeted by market makers.
Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL): The high and low of the prior 24-hour day, acting as major structural boundaries and a crucial macro market filter.
🎛️ Advanced Liquidity Management
The indicator is built with specific controls for high-level liquidity analysis:
Extend Through Sweeps (Critical Setting):
OFF (Recommended): The projected line is automatically stopped or deleted the moment the price candle wicks or closes past it. This visually confirms that the liquidity at that level has been "swept" or "mitigated."
ON: The line extends indefinitely, treating the level as simple support/resistance, regardless of interaction.
Previous vs. Current View: You can select a checkbox (e.g., Use PREVIOUS London Level) to hide the current session's running levels and only display the static, confirmed high/low from the prior completed session. This helps declutter the chart and focus only on the confirmed structural levels.
Show Older History: Toggle to keep lines from prior days visible, allowing you to track multi-day structural context.
🎯 Trading Application
The lines plotted by the Key Levels indicator provide immediate, actionable information:
Bias Filter: Use the PDH/PDL to determine the overall market context. Trading above the PDH suggests a bullish bias, while trading below the PDL suggests a bearish bias.
Manipulation/Entry: Wait for price to aggressively sweep a Previous Session High/Low (line stops extending). This often signals a liquidity grab or "manipulation" phase. Look for entries in the opposite direction for the main move (Distribution).
Targets: Key levels (especially unmitigated ones) serve as excellent, objective take-profit targets for active trades.

FVG Maxing - Fair Value Gaps, Equilibrium, and Candle Patterns
What this script does
This open-source indicator highlights 3-candle fair value gaps (FVGs) on the active chart timeframe, draws their midpoint ("equilibrium") line, tracks when each gap is mitigated, and optionally marks simple candle patterns (engulfing and doji) for confluence. It is intended as an educational tool to study how price interacts with imbalances.
3-candle bullish and bearish FVG zones drawn as forward-extending boxes.
Equilibrium line at 50% of each gap.
Different styling for mitigated vs unmitigated gaps.
Compact statistics panel showing how many gaps are currently active and filled.
Optional overlays for bullish/bearish engulfing patterns and doji candles.
1. FVG logic (3-candle gaps)
The script focuses on a strict 3-candle definition of a fair value gap:
Three consecutive candles with the same body direction.
The wick of candle 3 is separated from the wick of candle 1 (no overlap).
A bullish gap is created when price moves up fast enough to leave a gap between candle 1 and 3. A bearish gap is the mirror case to the downside.
In Pine, the core detection looks like this:
// Three candles with the same body direction
bull_seq = close > open and close > open and close > open
bear_seq = close < open and close < open and close < open
// Wick gap between candle 1 and candle 3
bull_gap = bull_seq and low > high
bear_gap = bear_seq and high < low
// Final FVG flags
is_bull_fvg = bull_gap
is_bear_fvg = bear_gap
For each detected FVG:
Bullish FVG range: from high up to low (gap below current price).
Bearish FVG range: from low down to high (gap above current price).
Each zone is stored in a custom FVGData structure so it can be updated when price later trades back inside it.
2. Equilibrium line (0.5 of the gap)
Every FVG box gets an optional equilibrium line plotted at the midpoint between its top and bottom:
eq_level = (top + bottom) / 2.0
right_index = extend_boxes ? bar_index + extend_length_bars : bar_index
bx = box.new(bar_index - 2, top, right_index, bottom)
eq_ln = line.new(bar_index - 2, eq_level, right_index, eq_level)
line.set_style(eq_ln, line.style_dashed)
line.set_color(eq_ln, eq_color)
You can use this line as a neutral “fair value” reference inside the zone, or as a simple way to think in terms of premium/discount within each gap.
3. Mitigation rules and styling
Each FVG stays active until price trades back into the gap:
Bullish FVG is considered mitigated when the low touches or moves below the top of the gap.
Bearish FVG is considered mitigated when the high touches or moves above the bottom of the gap.
When that happens, the script:
Marks the internal FVGData entry as mitigated.
Softens the box fill and border colors.
Optionally updates the label text from "BULL EQ / BEAR EQ" to "BULL FILLED / BEAR FILLED".
Can hide mitigated zones almost completely if you only want to see unfilled imbalances.
This allows you to distinguish between current areas of interest and zones that have already been traded through.
4. Candle pattern overlays (engulfing and doji)
For additional confluence, the script can mark simple candle patterns on top of the FVG view:
Bullish engulfing — current candle body fully wraps the previous bearish body and is larger in size.
Bearish engulfing — current candle body fully wraps the previous bullish body and is larger in size.
Doji — candles where the real body is small relative to the full range (high–low).
The detection is based on basic body and range geometry:
curr_body = math.abs(close - open)
prev_body = math.abs(close - open )
curr_range = high - low
body_ratio = curr_range > 0 ? curr_body / curr_range : 1.0
bull_engulfing = close > open and close < open and open <= close and close >= open and curr_body > prev_body
bear_engulfing = close < open and close > open and open >= close and close <= open and curr_body > prev_body
is_doji = curr_range > 0 and body_ratio <= doji_body_ratio
On the chart, they appear as:
Small triangle markers below bullish engulfing candles.
Small triangle markers above bearish engulfing candles.
Small circles above doji candles.
All three overlays are optional and can be turned on or off and recolored in the CANDLE PATTERNS group of inputs.
5. Inputs overview
The script organizes settings into clear groups:
DISPLAY SETTINGS : Show bullish/bearish FVGs, show/hide mitigated zones, box extension length, box border width, and maximum number of boxes.
EQUILIBRIUM : Toggle equilibrium lines, color, and line width.
LABELS : Enable labels, choose whether to label unmitigated and/or mitigated zones, and select label size.
BULLISH COLORS / BEARISH COLORS : Separate fill and border colors for bullish and bearish gaps.
MITIGATED STYLE : Opacity used when a gap is marked as mitigated.
STATISTICS : Toggle the on-chart FVG statistics panel.
CANDLE PATTERNS : Show engulfing patterns, show dojis, colors, and the body-to-range threshold that defines a doji.
6. Statistics panel
An optional table in the corner of the chart summarizes the current state of all tracked gaps:
Total number of FVGs still being tracked.
Number of bullish vs bearish FVGs.
Number of unfilled vs mitigated FVGs.
Simple fill rate: percentage of tracked FVGs that have been marked as mitigated.
This can help you study how a particular market tends to treat gaps over time.
7. How you might use it (examples)
These are usage ideas only, not recommendations:
Study how often your symbol mitigates gaps and where inside the zone price tends to react.
Use higher-timeframe context and then refine entries near the equilibrium line on your trading timeframe.
Combine FVG zones with basic candle patterns (engulfing/doji) as an extra visual anchor, if that fits your process.
Hope you enjoy, give your feedback in the comments!

Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gap by Vigna📊 Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
This indicator displays Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from multiple timeframes simultaneously on your chart. FVGs are price gaps that occur when the market moves quickly and skips certain price levels. These gaps tend to be "filled" later and often serve as important support and resistance zones.
🎯 What are Fair Value Gaps?
A Fair Value Gap occurs when:
Bullish FVG: The current low is higher than the high from 2 candles ago (gap upward)
Bearish FVG: The current high is lower than the low from 2 candles ago (gap downward)
⏱️ Supported Timeframes:
1 Hour (1H)
2 Hours (2H)
3 Hours (3H)
4 Hours (4H)
1 Day (1D)
1 Week (1W)
🎨 Features:
✅ All timeframes visible simultaneously
✅ Each timeframe has its own color (bullish & bearish)
✅ Labels show the timeframe of each gap
✅ Automatic deletion when gap is filled
✅ Optional: MidPoint Fill (gap marked as filled at 50%)
✅ Extend right: Gaps extend to the right until filled
✅ All colors fully customizable
⚙️ Settings:
Timeframes: Enable/disable individual timeframes as needed
MidPoint Fill: Mark gap as filled when 50% is reached
Delete On Fill: Automatically remove filled gaps from chart
Label Timeframes: Show labels with timeframe names
Colors: Customize all colors to your preferences
💡 Application:
FVGs often serve as magnetic attraction points for price
Higher timeframe FVGs (4H, 1D, 1W) are typically more significant
Use FVGs as potential entry/exit zones

BB Breakout-Momentum + Reversion Strategies# BB Breakout-Momentum + Reversion Strategies
## Overview
This indicator combines two complementary Bollinger Band trading strategies that automatically adapt to market conditions. Strategy 1 capitalizes on trending markets with breakout-pullback-momentum setups, while Strategy 2 exploits mean reversion in ranging markets. Advanced filtering using ADX and BB Width ensures each strategy only fires in its optimal market environment.
---
## Strategy 1: Breakout → Pullback → Renewed Momentum (Long B / Short B)
### Best Market Conditions
- **Trending Markets**: ADX ≥ 25
- **High Volatility**: BB Width ≥ 1.0× average
- Directional price action with sustained momentum
### Entry Logic
**Long B (Bullish Breakout):**
1. **Initial Breakout**: Price breaks above upper Bollinger Band with strong momentum
2. **Controlled Pullback**: Price pulls back 1-12 bars but holds above lower band (stays in trend)
3. **Defended Zone**: Pullback creates a support zone based on swing lows (validated by multiple touches)
4. **Renewed Momentum**: Price reclaims with green candle, volume confirmation, bullish MACD
5. **Position Check**: Entry must have cushion below upper band and room to reach targets
**Short B (Bearish Breakdown):**
- Mirror logic for downtrends: breakdown below lower band, pullback stays below upper band, renewed selling pressure
### Risk Management
- **Stop Loss**: Lower of (zone floor/previous low) OR (1.5 × ATR from entry)
- **Targets**:
- T1: Entry + 0.85R (0.85 × 1.5 ATR)
- T2: Entry + 1.40R (1.40 × 1.5 ATR)
- T3: Entry + 2.50R (2.50 × 1.5 ATR)
- T4: Entry + 4.50R (4.50 × 1.5 ATR)
- Risk is calculated using ATR (ATRX = 1.5 ATR), stop uses tighter of structural level (ATRL) or ATRX
---
## Strategy 2: Bollinger Band Mean Reversion (Long R / Short R)
### Best Market Conditions
- **Ranging Markets**: ADX ≤ 20
- **Low Volatility**: BB Width ≤ 0.8× average
- Price oscillating around the mean without sustained trend
### Entry Logic
**Long R (Long Reversion):**
1. **Overextension**: Price breaks below lower Bollinger Band (2 consecutive closes)
2. **Snap Back**: Price crosses back above lower band (re-enters the range)
3. **Entry Window**: Within 2 candles of re-entry, look for:
- **Green candle** (close > open) confirming bullish strength
- Close above previous candle (close > close )
4. **Trigger**: First qualifying candle within 2-bar window executes the trade
**Short R (Short Reversion):**
1. **Overextension**: Price breaks above upper Bollinger Band (2 consecutive closes)
2. **Snap Back**: Price crosses back below upper band (re-enters the range)
3. **Entry Window**: Within 2 candles of re-entry, look for:
- **Red candle** (close < open) confirming bearish pressure
- Close below previous candle (close < close )
4. **Trigger**: First qualifying candle within 2-bar window executes the trade
### Risk Management
- **Stop Loss**: Lower of (previous high/low) OR (1.5 × ATR from entry)
- **Targets**: Same as Strategy 1 (0.85R, 1.4R, 2.5R, 4.5R based on 1.5 ATR)
- Betting on return to Bollinger Band basis (mean)
---
## Advanced Filtering System
### ADX Filter (Average Directional Index)
- **Purpose**: Measures trend strength vs choppy/ranging conditions
- **Trending**: ADX ≥ 25 → Enables Strategy 1 (Breakout)
- **Ranging**: ADX ≤ 20 → Enables Strategy 2 (Reversion)
- **Neutral**: ADX 20-25 → No signals (indecisive market)
### BB Width Filter
- **Purpose**: Confirms volatility expansion/contraction
- **Wide Bands**: Current width ≥ 1.0× 50-bar average → Trending environment
- **Narrow Bands**: Current width ≤ 0.8× 50-bar average → Ranging environment
- **Logic**: Both ADX and BB Width must agree on market state before signaling
### Combined Logic
- **Strategy 1 fires**: When BOTH ADX shows trending AND bands are wide
- **Strategy 2 fires**: When BOTH ADX shows ranging AND bands are narrow
- **Visual Display**: Table at bottom-right shows ADX value, BB Width ratio, and current market state
---

- Check the table in bottom-right corner
- **TREND**: Look for Strategy 1 signals (Long B / Short B)
- **RANGE**: Look for Strategy 2 signals (Long R / Short R)
- **NEUTRAL**: Wait for clearer conditions
### Step 2: Wait for Signal
- Signals only fire when ALL conditions are met (structural + momentum + filters + room-to-target)
- Signals are relatively rare but high-probability
### Step 3: Execute Trade
- **Entry**: Close of signal candle
- **Stop Loss**: Shown as red cross (Strategy 1) or red dashed line (Strategy 2)
- **Targets**: Scale out at T1, T2, T3, T4 or hold for maximum R:R
### Step 4: Management
- Consider moving stop to breakeven after T1
- Trail stop using swing lows/highs in Strategy 1
- Exit full position at T2-T3 in Strategy 2 (mean reversion has limited upside)
---
## Key Principles
### Why This Works
1. **Market Adaptation**: Uses right strategy for right conditions (trend vs range)
2. **Confluence**: Multiple confirmations required (structure + momentum + volatility + room)
3. **Risk-Defined**: Every trade has pre-calculated stop and targets based on ATR
4. **Probability**: Filters reduce noise and increase win rate by waiting for ideal setups
### Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- ❌ Taking signals in NEUTRAL market state (indicators disagree)
- ❌ Overriding the stop loss (it's calculated for a reason)
- ❌ Expecting signals on every swing (quality over quantity)
- ❌ Using Strategy 1 in ranging markets or Strategy 2 in trending markets
- ❌ Ignoring the room-to-target check (signal won't fire if targets are blocked)
### Complementary Analysis
This indicator works best when combined with:
- Higher timeframe trend analysis
- Key support/resistance levels
- Volume analysis
- Market structure (swing highs/lows)
- Risk management rules (position sizing, max daily loss, etc.)

Impulse Reactor RSI-SMA Trend Indicator [ApexLegion]Impulse Reactor RSI-SMA Trend Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
Design Rationale
Standard indicators frequently generate binary 'BUY' or 'SELL' signals without accounting for the broader market context. This often results in erratic "Flip-Flop" behavior, where signals are triggered indiscriminately regardless of the prevailing volatility regime.
Impulse Reactor was engineered to address this limitation by unifying two critical requirements: Quantitative Rigor and Execution Flexibility.
The Solution
Composite Analytical Framework This script is not a simple visual overlay of existing indicators. It is an algorithmic synthesis designed to function as a unified decision-making engine. The primary objective was to implement rigorous quantitative analysis (Volatility Normalization, Structural Filtering) directly within an alert-enabled framework. This architecture is designed to process signals through strict, multi-factor validation protocols before generating real-time notifications, allowing users to focus on structurally validated setups without manual monitoring.
How It Works
This is not a simple visual mashup. It utilizes a cross-validation algorithm where the Trend Structure acts as a gatekeeper for Momentum signals:
Logic over Lag: Unlike simple moving average crossovers, this script uses a 15-layer Gradient Ribbon to detect "Laminar Flow." If the ribbon is knotted (Compression), the system mathematically suppresses all signals.
Volatility Normalization: The core calculation adapts to ATR (Average True Range). This means the indicator automatically expands in volatile markets and contracts in quiet ones, maintaining accuracy without constant manual tweaking.
Adaptive Signal Thresholding: It incorporates an 'Anti-Greed' algorithm (Dynamic Thresholding) that automatically adjusts entry criteria based on trend duration. This logic aims to mitigate the risk of entering positions during periods of statistical trend exhaustion.
Why Use It?
Market State Decoding: The gradient Ribbon visualizes the underlying trend phase in real-time.
◦ Cyan/Blue Flow: Strong Bullish Trend (Laminar Flow).
◦ Magenta/Pink Flow: Strong Bearish Trend.
◦ Compressed/Knotted: When the ribbon lines are tightly squeezed or overlapping, it signals Consolidation. The system filters signals here to avoid chop.
Noise Reduction: The goal is not to catch every pivot, but to isolate high-confidence setups. The logic explicitly filters out minor fluctuations to help maintain position alignment with the broader trend.
⚖️ Chapter 1: System Architecture
Introduction: Composite Analytical Framework
System Overview
Impulse Reactor serves as a comprehensive technical analysis engine designed to synthesize three distinct market dimensions—Momentum, Volatility, and Trend Structure—into a unified decision-making framework. Unlike traditional methods that analyze these metrics in isolation, this system functions as a central processing unit that integrates disparate data streams to construct a coherent model of market behavior.
Operational Objective
The primary objective is to transition from single-dimensional signal generation to a multi-factor assessment model. By fusing data from the Impulse Core (Volatility), Gradient Oscillator (Momentum), and Structural Baseline (Trend), the system aims to filter out stochastic noise and identify high-probability trade setups grounded in quantitative confluence.
Market Microstructure Analysis: Limitations of Conventional Models
Extensive backtesting and quantitative analysis have identified three critical inefficiencies in standard oscillator-based strategies:
• Bounded Oscillator Limitations (The "Oscillation Trap"): Traditional indicators such as RSI or Stochastics are mathematically constrained between fixed values (0 to 100). In strong trending environments, these metrics often saturate in "overbought" or "oversold" zones. Consequently, traders relying on static thresholds frequently exit structurally valid positions prematurely or initiate counter-trend trades against prevailing momentum, resulting in suboptimal performance.
• Quantitative Blindness to Quality: Standard moving averages and trend indicators often fail to distinguish the qualitative nature of price movement. They treat low-volume drift and high-velocity expansion identically. This inability to account for "Volatility Quality" leads to delayed responsiveness during critical market events.
• Fractal Dissonance (Timeframe Disconnect): Financial markets exhibit fractal characteristics where trends on lower timeframes may contradict higher timeframe structures. Manual integration of multi-timeframe analysis increases cognitive load and susceptibility to human error, often resulting in conflicting biases at the point of execution.
Core Design Principles
To mitigate the aforementioned systemic inefficiencies, Impulse Reactor employs a modular architecture governed by three foundational principles:
Principle A:
Volatility Precursor Analysis Market mechanics demonstrate that volatility expansion often functions as a leading indicator for directional price movement. The system is engineered to detect "Volatility Deviation" — specifically, the divergence between short-term and long-term volatility baselines—prior to its manifestation in price action. This allows for entry timing aligned with the expansion phase of market volatility.
Principle B:
Momentum Density Visualization The system replaces singular momentum lines with a "Momentum Density" model utilizing a 15-layer Simple Moving Average (SMA) Ribbon.
• Concept: This visualization represents the aggregate strength and consistency of the trend.
• Application: A fully aligned and expanded ribbon indicates a robust trend structure ("Laminar Flow") capable of withstanding minor counter-trend noise, whereas a compressed ribbon signals consolidation or structural weakness.
Principle C:
Adaptive Confluence Protocols Signal validity is strictly governed by a multi-dimensional confluence logic. The system suppresses signal generation unless there is synchronized confirmation across all three analytical vectors:
1. Volatility: Confirmed expansion via the Impulse Core.
2. Momentum: Directional alignment via the Hybrid Oscillator.
3. Structure: Trend validation via the Baseline. This strict filtering mechanism significantly reduces false positives in non-trending (choppy) environments while maintaining sensitivity to genuine breakouts.
🔍 Chapter 2: Core Modules & Algorithmic Logic
Module A: Impulse Core (Normalized Volatility Deviation)
Operational Logic The Impulse Core functions as a volatility-normalized momentum gauge rather than a standard oscillator. It is designed to identify "Volatility Contraction" (Squeeze) and "Volatility Expansion" phases by quantifying the divergence between short-term and long-term volatility states.
Volatility Z-Score Normalization
The formula implements a custom normalization algorithm. Unlike standard oscillators that rely on absolute price changes, this logic calculates the Z-Score of the Volatility Spread.
◦ Numerator: (atr_f - atr_s) captures the raw momentum of volatility expansion.
◦ Denominator: (std_f + 1e-6) standardizes this value against historical variance.
◦ Result: This allows the indicator scales consistently across assets (e.g., Bitcoin vs. Euro) without manual recalibration.
f_impulse() =>
atr_f = ta.atr(fastLen) // Fast Volatility Baseline
atr_s = ta.atr(slowLen) // Slow Volatility Baseline
std_f = ta.stdev(atr_f, devLen) // Volatility Standard Deviation
(atr_f - atr_s) / (std_f + 1e-6) // Normalized Differential Calculation
Algorithmic Framework
• Differential Calculation: The system computes the spread between a Fast Volatility Baseline (ATR-10) and a Slow Volatility Baseline (ATR-30).
• Normalization Protocol: To standardize consistency across diverse asset classes (e.g., Forex vs. Crypto), the raw differential is divided by the standard deviation of the volatility itself over a 30-period lookback.
• Signal Generation:
◦ Contraction (Squeeze): When the Fast ATR compresses below the Slow ATR, it registers a potential volatility buildup phase.
◦ Expansion (Release): A rapid divergence of the Fast ATR above the Slow ATR signals a confirmed volatility expansion, validating the strength of the move.
Module B: Gradient Oscillator (RSI-SMA Hybrid)
Design Rationale To mitigate the "noise" and "false reversal" signals common in single-line oscillators (like standard RSI), this module utilizes a 15-Layer Gradient Ribbon to visualize momentum density and persistence.
Technical Architecture
• Ribbon Array: The system generates 15 sequential Simple Moving Averages (SMA) applied to a volatility-adjusted RSI source. The length of each layer increases incrementally.
• State Analysis:
Momentum Alignment (Laminar Flow): When all 15 layers are expanded and parallel, it indicates a robust trend where buying/selling pressure is distributed evenly across multiple timeframes. This state helps filter out premature "overbought/oversold" signals.
• Consolidation (Compression): When the distance between the fastest layer (Layer 1) and the slowest layer (Layer 15) approaches zero or the layers intersect, the system identifies a "Non-Tradable Zone," preventing entries during choppy market conditions.
// Laminar Flow Validation
f_validate_trend() =>
// Calculate spread between Ribbon layers
ribbon_spread = ta.stdev(ribbon_array, 15)
// Only allow signals if Ribbon is expanded (Laminar Flow)
is_flowing = ribbon_spread > min_expansion_threshold
// If compressed (Knotted), force signal to false
is_flowing ? signal : na
Module C: Adaptive Signal Filtering (Behavioral Bias Mitigation)
This subsystem, operating as an algorithmic "Anti-Greed" Mechanism, addresses the statistical tendency for signal degradation following prolonged trends.
Dynamic Threshold Adjustment
• Win Streak Detection: The algorithm internally tracks the outcome of closed trade cycles.
• Sensitivity Multiplier: Upon detecting consecutive successful signals in the same direction, a Penalty_Factor is applied to the entry logic.
• Operational Impact: This effectively raises the Required_Slope threshold for subsequent signals. For example, after three consecutive bullish signals, the system requires a 30% steeper trend angle to validate a fourth entry. This enforces stricter discipline during extended trends to reduce the probability of entering at the point of trend exhaustion.
Anti-Greed Logic: Dynamic Threshold Calculation
f_adjust_threshold(base_slope, win_streak) =>
// Adds a 10% penalty to the difficulty for every consecutive win
penalty_factor = 0.10
risk_scaler = 1 + (win_streak * penalty_factor)
// Returns the new, harder-to-reach threshold
base_slope * risk_scaler
Module D: Trend Baseline (Triple-Smoothed Structure)
The Trend Baseline serves as the structural filter for all signals. It employs a Triple-Smoothed Hybrid Algorithm designed to balance lag reduction with noise filtration.
Smoothing Stages
1. Volatility Banding: Utilizes a SuperTrend-based calculation to establish the upper and lower boundaries of price action.
2. Weighted Filter: Applies a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to prioritize recent price data.
3. Exponential Smoothing: A final Exponential Moving Average (EMA) pass is applied to create a seamless baseline curve.
Functionality
This "Heavy" baseline resists minor intraday volatility spikes while remaining responsive to sustained structural shifts. A signal is only considered valid if the price action maintains structural integrity relative to this baseline
🚦 Chapter 3: Risk Management & Exit Protocols
Quantitative Risk Management (TP/SL & Trailing)
Foundational Architecture: Volatility-Adjusted Geometry Unlike strategies relying on static nominal values, Impulse Reactor establishes dynamic risk boundaries derived from quantitative volatility metrics. This design aligns trade invalidation levels mathematically with the current market regime.
• ATR-Based Dynamic Bracketing:
The protocol calculates Stop-Loss and Take-Profit levels by applying Fibonacci coefficients (Default: 0.786 for SL / 1.618 for TP) to the Average True Range (ATR).
◦ High Volatility Environments: The risk bands automatically expand to accommodate wider variance, preventing premature exits caused by standard market noise.
◦ Low Volatility Environments: The bands contract to tighten risk parameters, thereby dynamically adjusting the Risk-to-Reward (R:R) geometry.
• Close-Validation Protocol ("Soft Stop"):
Institutional algorithms frequently execute liquidity sweeps—driving prices briefly below key support levels to accumulate inventory.
◦ Mechanism: When the "Soft Stop" feature is enabled, the system filters out intraday volatility spikes. The stop-loss is conditional; execution is triggered only if the candle closes beyond the invalidation threshold.
◦ Strategic Advantage: This logic distinguishes between momentary price wicks and genuine structural breakdowns, preserving positions during transient volatility.
• Step-Function Trailing Mechanism:
To protect unrealized PnL while allowing for normal price breathing, a two-phase trailing methodology is employed:
◦ Phase 1 (Activation): The trailing function remains dormant until the price advances by a pre-defined percentage threshold.
◦ Phase 2 (Dynamic Floor): Once armed, the stop level creates a moving floor, adjusting relative to price action while maintaining a volatility-based (ATR) buffer to systematically protect unrealized PnL.
• Algorithmic Exit Protocols (Dynamic Liquidity Analysis)
◦ Rationale: Inefficiencies of Static Targets Static "Take Profit" levels often result in suboptimal exits. They compel traders to close positions based on arbitrary figures rather than evolving market structure, potentially capping upside during significant trends or retaining positions while the underlying trend structure deteriorates.
◦ Solution: Structural Integrity Assessment The system utilizes a Dynamic Liquidity Engine to continuously audit the validity of the position. Instead of targeting a specific price point, the algorithm evaluates whether the trend remains statistically robust.
Multi-Factor Exit Logic (The Tri-Vector System)
The Smart Exit protocol executes only when specific algorithmic invalidation criteria are met:
• 1. Momentum Exhaustion (Confluence Decay): The system monitors a 168-hour rolling average of the Confluence Score. A significant deviation below this historical baseline indicates momentum exhaustion, signaling that the driving force behind the trend has dissipated prior to a price reversal. This enables preemptive exits before a potential drawdown.
• 2. Statistical Over-Extension (Mean Reversion): Utilizing the core volatility logic, the system identifies instances where price deviates beyond 2.0 standard deviations from the mean. While the trend may be technically bullish, this statistical anomaly suggests a high probability of mean reversion (elastic snap-back), triggering a defensive exit to capitalize on peak valuation.
• 3. Oscillator Rejection (Immediate Pivot): To manage sudden V-shaped volatility, the system monitors RSI pivots. If a sharp "Pivot High" or divergence is detected, the protocol triggers an immediate "Peak Exit," bypassing standard trend filters to secure liquidity during high-velocity reversals.
🎨 Chapter 4: Visualization Guide
Gradient Oscillator Ribbon
The 15-layer SMA ribbon visualized via plot(r1...r15) represents the "Momentum Density" of the market.
• Visuals:
◦ Cyan/Blue Ribbon: Indicates Bullish Momentum.
◦ Pink/Magenta Ribbon: Indicates Bearish Momentum.
• Interpretation:
◦ Laminar Flow: When the ribbon expands widely and flows in parallel, it signifies a robust trend where momentum is distributed evenly across timeframes. This is the ideal state for trend-following.
◦ Compression (Consolidation): If the ribbon becomes narrow, twisted, or knotted, it indicates a "Non-Tradable Zone" where the market lacks a unified direction. Traders are advised to wait for clarity.
◦ Over-Extension: If the top layer crosses the Overbought (85) or Oversold (15) lines, it visually warns of potential market overheating.
Trend Baseline
The thick, color-changing line plotted via plot(baseline) represents the Structural Backbone of the market.
• Visuals: Changes color based on the trend direction (Blue for Bullish, Pink for Bearish).
• Interpretation:
Structural Filter: Long positions are statistically favored only when price action sustains above this baseline, while short positions are favored below it.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The baseline acts as a dynamic support level during uptrends and resistance during downtrends.
Entry Signals & Labels
Text labels ("Long Entry", "Short Entry") appear when the system detects high-probability setups grounded in quantitative confluence.
• Visuals: Labeled signals appear above/below specific candles.
• Interpretation:
These signals represent moments where Volatility (Expansion), Momentum (Alignment), and Structure (Trend) are synchronized.
Smart Exit: Labels such as "Smart Exit" or "Peak Exit" appear when the system detects momentum exhaustion or structural decay, prompting a defensive exit to preserve capital.
Dynamic TP/SL Boxes
The semi-transparent colored zones drawn via fill() represent the risk management geometry.
• Visuals: Colored boxes extending from the entry point to the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels.
• Function:
Volatility-Adjusted Geometry: Unlike static price targets, these boxes expand during high volatility (to prevent wicks from stopping you out) and contract during low volatility (to optimize Risk-to-Reward ratios).
SAR + MACD Glow
Small glowing shapes appearing above or below candles.
• Visuals: Triangle or circle glows near the price bars.
• Interpretation:
This visual indicates a secondary confirmation where Parabolic SAR and MACD align with the main trend direction. It serves as an additional confluence factor to increase confidence in the trade setup.
Support/Resistance Table
A small table located at the bottom-right of the chart.
• Function: Automatically identifies and displays recent Pivot Highs (Resistance) and Pivot Lows (Support).
• Interpretation: These levels can be used as potential targets for Take Profit or invalidation points for manual Stop Loss adjustments.
🖥️ Chapter 5: Dashboard & Operational Guide
Integrated Analytics Panel (Dashboard Overview)
To facilitate rapid decision-making without manual calculation, the system aggregates critical market dimensions into a unified "Heads-Up Display" (HUD). This panel monitors real-time metrics across multiple timeframes and analytical vectors.
A. Intermediate Structure (12H Trend)
• Function: Anchors the intraday analysis to the broader market structure using a 12-hour rolling window.
• Interpretation:
◦ Bullish (> +0.5%): Indicates a positive structural bias. Long setups align with the macro flow.
◦ Bearish (< -0.5%): Indicates structural weakness. Short setups are statistically favored.
◦ Neutral: Represents a ranging environment where the Confluence Score becomes the primary weighting factor.
B. Composite Confluence Score (Signal Confidence)
• Definition: A probability metric derived from the synchronization of Volatility (Impulse Core), Momentum (Ribbon), and Trend (Baseline).
• Grading Scale:
Strong Buy/Sell (> 7.0 / < 3.0): Indicates full alignment across all three vectors. Represents a "Prime Setup" eligible for standard position sizing.
Buy/Sell (5.0–7.0 / 3.0–5.0): Indicates a valid trend but with moderate volatility confirmation.
Neutral: Signals conflicting data (e.g., Bullish Momentum vs. Bearish Structure). Trading is not recommended ("No-Trade Zone").
C. Statistical Deviation Status (Mean Reversion)
• Logic: Utilizes Bollinger Band deviation principles to quantify how far price has stretched from the statistical mean (20 SMA).
• Alert States:
Over-Extended (> 2.0 SD): Warning that price is statistically likely to revert to the mean (Elastic Snap-back), even if the trend remains technically valid. New entries are discouraged in this zone.
Normal: Price is within standard distribution limits, suitable for trend-following entries.
D. Volatility Regime Classification
• Metric: Compares current ATR against a 100-period historical baseline to categorize the market state.
• Regimes:
Low Volatility (Lvl < 1.0): Market Compression. Often precedes volatility expansion events.
Mid Volatility (Lvl 1.0 - 1.5): Standard operating environment.
High Volatility (Lvl > 1.5): Elevated market stress. Risk parameters should be adjusted (e.g., reduced position size) to account for increased variance.
E. Performance Telemetry
• Function: Displays the historical reliability of the Trend Baseline for the current asset and timeframe.
• Operational Threshold: If the displayed Win Rate falls below 40%, it suggests the current market behavior is incoherent (choppy) and does not respect trend logic. In such cases, switching assets or timeframes is recommended.
Operational Protocols & Signal Decoding
Visual Interpretation Standards
• Laminar Flow (Trade Confirmation): A valid trend is visually confirmed when the 15-layer SMA Ribbon is fully expanded and parallel. This indicates distributed momentum across timeframes.
• Consolidation (No-Trade): If the ribbon appears twisted, knotted, or compressed, the market lacks a unified directional vector.
• Baseline Interaction: The Triple-Smoothed Baseline acts as a dynamic support/resistance filter. Long positions remain valid only while price sustains above this structure.
System Calibration (Settings)
• Adaptive Signal Filtering (Prev. Anti-Greed): Enabled by default. This logic automatically raises the required trend slope threshold following consecutive wins to mitigate behavioral bias.
• Impulse Sensitivity: Controls the reactivity of the Volatility Core. Higher settings capture faster moves but may introduce more noise.

◦ Average Period (168) & Min Hold Bars (5): Defines the rolling window for momentum decay analysis and the minimum duration a trade must be held before Smart Exit logic activates.
🛡️ TRAILING STOP (Step)
◦ Use Trailing Stop: Activates the step-function trailing mechanism.
◦ Step 1 Activation % (0.5) & Offset % (0.5): The price must move 0.5% in your favor to arm the first trail level, which sets a stop 0.5% behind price.
◦ Step 2 Activation % (1) & Offset % (0.2): Once price moves 1%, the trail tightens to 0.2%, securing the position.
🌀 SAR & MACD SETTINGS (Secondary Confirmation)
◦ SAR Start/Increment/Max: Standard Parabolic SAR parameters.
◦ SAR Score Scaling (ATR): Adjusts how much weight the SAR signal has in the overall confluence score.

Pair Correlation Master [Macro]The Main Idea
Trading represents a constant battle between Systemic Flows (the whole market moving together) and Idiosyncratic Moves (one specific asset moving on its own).
This tool allows you to monitor a "basket" of 4 assets simultaneously (e.g., the major USD pairs). It answers the most important question in forex and multi-asset trading: "Is this move happening because the Dollar is weak, or because the Euro is strong?"
It separates the "Signal" (the unique move) from the "Noise" (the herd movement).
1. The Chart Lines: The "Race" (Macro Trend)
Think of the lines on your chart as a long-distance race. They visualize the performance of all 4 assets over the last 200 candles (adjustable).
- Bunched Together: If all lines are moving in the same direction, the market is highly correlated. (e.g., "The Dollar is selling off everywhere").
- Fanning Out: If the lines are spreading apart, specific currencies are outperforming others.
- The Zero Line: This is the starting line.
--- Above 0: The pair is in a macro uptrend.
--- Below 0: The pair is in a macro downtrend.
2. The Dashboard: The "Health Check" (Micro Data)
The table in the top right gives you the immediate statistics for right now.
- A. The Z-Score (The Rubber Band)
This measures how "stretched" price is compared to its normal behavior.
- White (< 2.0): Normal trading activity.
- Orange (> 2.0): The price is stretching. Warning sign.
- Red (> 3.0): Critical Stretch. The rubber band is pulled to its limit. Statistically, a pullback or pause is highly likely.
B. The Star (★)
The script automatically calculates the average behavior of your group. If one asset is behaving completely differently from the rest, it marks it with a Star (★).
- Example: EURUSD, GBPUSD, and NZDUSD are flat, but AUDUSD is rallying hard. AUDUSD gets the ★. This is where the unique opportunity lies.
🎯 Best Uses: 4H & Daily Timeframes
This indicator is tuned for "Macro" analysis. It works best on the "4-Hour" and "Daily" charts to filter out intraday noise and capture swing trading moves.
- Strategy 1: The "Rubber Band" Snap (Mean Reversion)
- Setup: Look for a Z-Score in the RED (> 3.0) on the Daily timeframe.
- Action: This indicates an unsustainable move. Look for reversals or exhaustion patterns to trade against the trend back toward the mean.
- Strategy 2: The "Lone Wolf" (Trend Following)
- Setup: Look for the asset with the Star (★).
- Action: If the whole basket is flat (Balanced), but the Star asset is breaking out, that creates a high-quality trend trade because that specific currency has its own catalyst (News/Earnings).
- Strategy 3: Systemic Flows (Basket Trading)
- Setup: The dashboard footer says "⚠️ SYSTEMIC MOVE."
- Action: This means everything is moving together (e.g., a massive USD crash). Don't look for unique setups; just join the trend on the strongest pair.
Dashboard Footer Key
The bottom of the table summarizes the current state of the market for you:
- Balanced / Rangebound: The market is quiet. Good for range trading.
- Focus: : Trade this specific pair. It is moving independently.
- Systemic Move: The whole basket is moving violently. Trade the momentum.
p.s. Suggestion - apply and use on the chart rather than an oscillator.
