Deviation Trend Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW A statistical trend analysis tool that combines moving average dynamics with standard deviation zones and trend-specific price distribution. This is an experimental indicator designed for educational and learning purposes only. 🔵 CONCEPTS Trend Detection via SMA Slope: Detects trend shifts when the slope of the SMA exceeds a ±0.1 threshold. Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates ±1, ±2, and ±3 levels from the SMA using ATR, forming dynamic envelopes around the mean. Trend Distribution Profile: Builds a histogram that shows how often price closed within each deviation zone during the active trend phase. 🔵 FEATURES Trend Signals: Immediate shift markers using colored circles at trend reversals. SMA Gradient Coloring: The SMA line dynamically changes color based on its directional slope. Trend Duration Label: A label above the histogram shows how many bars the current trend has lasted. Trend Distribution Histogram: Visual bin-based profile showing frequency of price closes within deviation bands during trend lookback period. Adjustable Bin Count: Set the granularity of the distribution using the “Bins Amount” input. Deviation Labels and Zones: Clearly marked ±1, ±2, ±3 lines with consistent color scheme. Trend Strength Insight:   • Wide profile skewed to ±2/3 = strong directional trend.   • Profile clustered near SMA = potential trend exhaustion or range. 🔵 HOW TO USE Use trend shift dots as entry signals:   • 🔵 = Bullish start   • 🔴 = Bearish start Trade with the trend when price clusters in outer zones (±2 or ±3). Be cautious or fade the trend when price distribution contracts toward the SMA. View across multiple timeframes for trend confluence or divergence. 🔵 CONCLUSION Deviation Trend Profile visualizes how price distributes during trends relative to statistical deviation zones. It’s a powerful confluence tool for identifying strength, exhaustion, and the rhythm of price behavior—ideal for swing traders and volatility analysts alike.

Trend Flow Trail [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW This script overlays a custom hybrid indicator called the Money Flow Trail which combines a volatility-based trend-following trail with a volume-weighted momentum oscillator. It’s built around two core components: the AlphaTrail—a dynamic band system influenced by Hull MA and volatility—and a smoothed Money Flow Index (MFI) that provides insights into buying or selling pressure. Together, these tools are used to color bars, generate potential reversal markers, and assist traders in identifying trend continuation or exhaustion phases in any market or timeframe. CONCEPTS The AlphaTrail calculates a volatility-adjusted channel around price using the Hull Moving Average as the base and an EMA of range as the spread. It adaptively shifts based on price interaction to capture trend reversals while avoiding whipsaws. The direction (bullish or bearish) determines both the band being tracked and how the trail locks in. The Money Flow Index (MFI) is derived from hlc3 and volume, measuring buying vs selling pressure, and is further smoothed with a short Hull MA to reduce noise while preserving structure. These two systems work in tandem: AlphaTrail governs directional context, while MFI refines the timing. FEATURES Dynamic AlphaTrail line with regime switching logic that controls directional bias and bar coloring. Smoothed MFI with gradient coloring to visually communicate pressure and exhaustion levels. Overbought/oversold thresholds (80/20), mid-level (50), and custom extreme zones (90/10) for deeper signal granularity. Built-in take-profit signal logic: crossover of MFI into overbought with bullish AlphaTrail, or into oversold with bearish AlphaTrail. Visual fills between price and AlphaTrail for clearer confirmation during trend phases. Alerts for regime shifts, MFI crossovers, trail interactions, and bar color regime changes. USAGE Add the indicator to any chart. Use the AlphaTrail plot to define trend context: bullish (trailing below price) or bearish (trailing above). MFI values give supporting confirmation—favor long setups when MFI is rising and above 50 in a bullish regime, and shorts when MFI is falling and below 50 in a bearish regime. The colored fills help visually track strength; sharp changes in MFI crossing 80/20 or 90/10 zones often precede pullbacks or reversals. Use the plotted circles as optional take-profit signals when MFI and trend are extended. Adjust AlphaTrail length/multiplier and MFI smoothing to better match the asset’s volatility profile.

The Butterfly [theUltimator5]This is a technical analysis tool designed to automatically detect and visualize Butterfly harmonic patterns based on recent market pivot structures. This indicator uses a unique plotting and detection algorithm to find and display valid Butterfly patterns on the chart. The indicator works in real-time and historically by identifying major swing highs and lows (pivots) based on a user-defined ZigZag length. It then evaluates whether the most recent price structure conforms to the ideal proportions of a bullish or bearish Butterfly pattern. If the ratios between price legs XA, AB, BC, and projected CD meet defined tolerances, the pattern is plotted on the chart along with a projected D point for potential reversal. Key Features: Automatic Pivot Detection: The script analyzes recent price action to construct a ZigZag pattern, identifying swing points as potential X, A, B, and C coordinates. Butterfly Pattern Validation: The pattern is validated against traditional Fibonacci ratios: --AB should be approximately 78.6% of XA. --BC must lie between 38.2% and 88.6% of AB. --CD is projected as a multiple of BC, with user control over the ratio (e.g., 1.618–2.24). Bullish and Bearish Recognition: The pattern logic detects both bullish and bearish Butterflies, automatically adjusting plotting direction and color themes. Custom Ratio Tolerance: Users can define how strictly the AB/XA and BC/AB legs must adhere to ideal ratios, using a percentage-based tolerance slider. Fallback Detection Logic: If a new pattern is not identified in recent bars, the script performs a backward search on the last four pivots to find the most recent valid pattern. Force Mode: A toggle allows users to force the drawing of a Butterfly pattern on the most recent pivot structure, regardless of whether the ideal Fibonacci rules are satisfied. Dynamic Visualization: --Clear labeling of X, A, B, C, and D points. --Colored connecting lines and filled triangles to visualize structure. --Optional table displaying key Fibonacci ratios and how close each leg is to ideal values. Inputs: Length: Controls the sensitivity of the ZigZag pivots. Smaller values result in more frequent pivots. Tolerance (%): Adjustable threshold for acceptable deviation in AB/XA and BC/AB ratios. CD Length Multiplier: Projects point D by multiplying the BC leg using a value between 1.618 and 2.24. Force New Pattern: Overrides validation checks to display a Butterfly structure on recent pivots regardless of ratio accuracy. Show Table: Enables a table showing calculated ratios and deviations from the ideal.

Rolling Z-Score Trend [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview The Rolling Z-Score Trend measures how far the current price deviates from its rolling mean in terms of standard deviations. It transforms price data into standardized scores to identify overbought and oversold conditions while tracking momentum shifts. The indicator displays a Z-Score line showing price deviation from statistical norms, with background momentum columns showing the rate of change in these deviations. This helps traders and investors identify mean reversion opportunities and momentum shifts across different asset classes and timeframes. 🟢 How It Works The indicator uses the Z-Score formula: Z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the current closing price, μ is the rolling mean, and σ is the rolling standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period. This creates a dynamic baseline that adapts to changing market conditions and standardizes price movements for interpretation across different assets and volatility conditions. The raw Z-Score undergoes 3-period EMA smoothing to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness to market signals. Beyond the basic Z-Score calculation, the indicator measures the rate of change in Z-Score values between successive bars, displayed as background momentum columns. This momentum component shows acceleration and deceleration of statistical deviations. All calculations are processed through confirmation filters, displaying signals only on confirmed bars to reduce premature signals based on incomplete price action. 🟢 How to Use 1. Z-Score Interpretation and Threshold Zones Positive Values (Above Zero) : Price trading above statistical mean, suggesting bullish momentum or potential overbought conditions Negative Values (Below Zero) : Price trading below statistical mean, suggesting bearish momentum or potential oversold conditions Zero Line Crosses : Signal transitions between statistical regimes and potential trend changes Upper Threshold Zone : Area above entry threshold (default 1.5) indicating potential overbought conditions Lower Threshold Zone : Area below negative entry threshold (default -1.5) indicating potential oversold conditions Extreme Values (±2.0 or higher) : Statistically significant deviations that may indicate reversal opportunities 2. Momentum Background Analysis and Info Table Green Columns : Accelerating positive momentum in Z-Score values Red Columns : Accelerating negative momentum in Z-Score values Column Height : Magnitude of momentum change between bars Momentum Divergence : When columns contradict primary Z-Score direction, often signals impending reversals Info Table : Displays real-time numerical values for both Z-Score and momentum, including trend direction indicators and bar-to-bar change calculations for position management 3. Preconfigured Settings Default : Balanced performance across multiple timeframes and asset classes for general trading and medium-term position management. Scalping : Responsive setup for ultra-short-term trading on 1-15 minute charts with frequent signals and increased sensitivity to quick price movements. Swing Trading : Optimized for multi-day positions with noise filtering, focusing on larger price swings. Most effective on 1-4 hour and daily timeframes. Trend Following : Maximum smoothing that prioritizes established trends over short-term volatility. Generates fewer signals for daily and weekly charts.

IU Market Rhythm WaveDESCRIPTION: The IU Market Rhythm Wave is a multi-dimensional indicator designed to reveal the underlying rhythm and energy of the market. By analyzing price momentum, harmonic oscillations, volume behavior, and market breadth, it helps traders identify high-quality long and short wave signals. It also visualizes rhythm bands, wave strength zones, and harmonic levels to provide comprehensive context for decision-making. This tool is best used on trending instruments where rhythm cycles and volume patterns create clear wave-based opportunities. USER INPUTS: Rhythm Cycle Length Controls the main lookback period used to calculate price waves, harmonic oscillation, volume rhythm, and breath. A longer cycle smooths signals, while a shorter cycle makes them more responsive. Recommended range: 8 to 35. Wave Signal Strength Multiplies the standard deviation of rhythm to define dynamic breakout thresholds. A higher value results in fewer but stronger signals, filtering out minor fluctuations. Harmonic Filter Applies a sensitivity filter to the harmonic mean and standard deviation. It helps eliminate weak or noisy signals and ensures rhythm-based signals align with harmonic structure. Show Wave Energy Zones Toggles background color shading based on current rhythm conditions. Greenish zones indicate strong upward rhythm, red for strong downward rhythm, yellow for positive bias, and gray for weak or neutral zones. Show Rhythm Bands Enables the display of upper and lower rhythm bands derived from ATR and rhythm volatility. These bands act as dynamic price envelopes and potential support/resistance zones. Wave Zone Opacity Adjusts the transparency of background energy zones, allowing users to control how prominent these zones appear on the chart. Range: 60 to 90 for optimal visibility. INDICATOR LOGIC: The indicator combines multiple rhythmic components into a composite rhythm score: 1. Price Wave – Based on momentum (rate of price change) smoothed by a moving average. 2. Harmonic Oscillation – Measures how far price has deviated from a central harmonic average (HLC3). 3. Volume Rhythm – Uses volume’s deviation from its mean, standardized by its volatility. 4. Market Breath – Captures range expansion and closing strength relative to range. These elements form the Raw Rhythm, which is further smoothed to produce the Market Rhythm. When the rhythm exceeds statistically calculated thresholds and other conditions like volume confirmation and harmonic proximity are met, wave signals are triggered. Harmonic Fibonacci levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.618, 0.764) are also calculated every rhythm cycle to identify nearby structural price zones. Signals occurring near these levels are considered more reliable. The Rhythm Bands use ATR and rhythm strength to define dynamic boundaries above and below price. Visual zones and arrows mark rhythm shifts and highlight the underlying energy of the market. WHY IT IS UNIQUE: This indicator goes beyond traditional oscillators or volume indicators by blending multiple market dimensions into one rhythmic framework. It adapts to volatility, applies harmonic structure awareness, and filters signals based on real-time market conditions. It offers: * A unique rhythm-based view of price, volume, and volatility * Dynamic, adaptive signal generation and zone coloring * Visual analytics and contextual data in a summary table * Signal filtering using harmonic alignment and market breath Its real-time responsiveness and multi-layered logic make it suitable for intraday, swing, and positional traders. HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT: * Spot high-conviction long or short entries when rhythm, volume, and structure align * Avoid low-quality trades during weak or noisy rhythm periods * Use visual wave zones to gauge trend strength and rhythm direction * Monitor harmonic proximity to enter or exit near key structural levels * Apply rhythm bands for dynamic stop-loss and target setting * Use rhythm direction arrows and analytics table to gain deeper market insight DISCLAIMER: This indicator is created for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. All trading involves risk, and users should conduct their own analysis or consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any trading decisions.

Consolidation Zones[RanaAlgo]Overview This indicator helps traders identify price consolidation zones (ranges) and potential breakouts in the market. It is useful for spotting periods of low volatility before significant price movements. How It Works Detects Consolidation Zones Uses the ADX (Average Directional Index) to determine when the market is in a consolidation phase . When ADX is below the threshold , the indicator marks the start of a consolidation zone. Draws a semi-transparent box around the price range, adjusting its height as new highs/lows form. Tracks Breakouts When price breaks above/below the consolidation box, it signals a potential trend continuation. Displays breakout arrows/labels (configurable shape & style) when price exits the range. Visual Features Boxes highlight consolidation areas (customizable color, border, and style). Labels show real-time status ("CONSOLIDATING" or "TRENDING"). Breakout signals appear as arrows or shapes (up/down). Usefulness in Trading Range Trading: Helps traders identify sideways markets for buying low and selling high. Breakout Trading: Signals potential trend entries when price exits consolidation. Trend Confirmation: Low ADX + consolidation box = weak trend; breakout = possible trend start. Example: If price stays in a blue box (consolidation) and then breaks above with an arrow, it suggests a bullish move.

Advanced Volume Profile Levels (Working)This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use volume profile analysis to identify significant price levels. It automatically calculates and plots the three most critical levels derived from volume data—the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)—for three different timeframes simultaneously: the previous week, the previous day, and the current, live session. The primary focus of this indicator is unmatched readability. It features dynamic, floating labels that stay clear of price action, combined with a high-contrast design to ensure you can see these crucial levels at a glance without any visual clutter. Key Features Multi-Session Analysis: Gain a complete market perspective by viewing levels from different timeframes on a single chart. Weekly Levels: Identify the long-term areas of value and control from the prior week's trading activity. Daily Levels: Pinpoint the most significant levels from the previous day's Regular Trading Hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET). Current Session Levels: Track the developing value area and POC in real-time with a dynamic profile that updates with every bar. Advanced Visuals for Clarity: Floating Labels: The labels for the weekly and daily levels intelligently "float" on the right side of your chart, moving with the price to ensure they are never obscured by candles. High-Contrast Design: Labels are designed for maximum readability with solid, opaque backgrounds and an automatic text color (black or white) that provides the best contrast against your chosen level color. Trailing Current Levels: The labels for the current session neatly trail the most recent price action, providing an intuitive view of intra-day developments. Comprehensive Customization: Tailor the indicator's appearance to your exact preferences. Toggle each profile (Weekly, Daily, Current) on or off. Individually set the color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and line width for each set of levels. Adjust the text size, background transparency, and horizontal offset for all on-chart labels. Information Hub: On-Chart Price Labels: Each label clearly displays both the level name and its precise price (e.g., "D-POC: 22068.50"). Corner Table: An optional, clean table in the top-right corner provides a quick summary of all active weekly and daily level values. Built-in Alerts: Create alerts directly from the script to be notified whenever the price crosses above or below the weekly or daily Point of Control, helping you stay on top of key market movements. How to Use The levels provided by this indicator serve as powerful reference points for market activity: Point of Control (POC): The price level with the highest traded volume. It acts as a magnet for price and represents the area of "fair value" for that session. Markets often test or revert to the POC. Value Area High (VAH) & Value Area Low (VAL): These levels define the range where approximately 70% of the session's volume occurred. They are critical support and resistance zones. Price acceptance above the VAH may signal a bullish breakout. Price acceptance below the VAL may signal a bearish breakdown. Rejection at the VAH or VAL often leads to price moving back across the value area towards the POC.

True High/Low RSI for DivergenceThis Pine Script creates a highly specialized RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator designed to provide a more accurate signal for divergence trading. Its official title is "True High/Low RSI for Divergence." Here is a breakdown of its core features: 1. Dual RSI Calculation based on Highs and Lows: Unlike a standard RSI that typically uses the closing price of a candle, this indicator calculates two separate RSI lines: A "High RSI" : This line calculates the RSI based on the high price of each candle. It is intended to track momentum peaks more accurately. A "Low RSI" : This line calculates the RSI based on the low price of each candle. It is designed to track momentum troughs more accurately. The main purpose of this separation is to avoid the potential errors that can occur when using an average price (like the close or hl2) during periods of high volatility. By using the true extremes of the price candles, the indicator aims to show a more "true" representation of momentum for identifying divergences between price and the indicator. 2. Dynamic Transparency: This is a key visual feature. The RSI lines are not always fully visible. They dynamically fade into view as they enter significant overbought or oversold zones: The Low RSI line (red by default) is invisible when above a value of 50. As it drops from 49 towards 30, it becomes progressively more opaque (more visible). It reaches full opacity at an RSI value of 30, visually alerting the user to strengthening oversold conditions. The High RSI line (blue by default) is invisible when below a value of 50. As it rises from 51 towards 70, it also becomes progressively more opaque. It is fully opaque at an RSI value of 70, highlighting strengthening overbought conditions. 3. User Customization: The script allows for user flexibility. You can change: The colors for both the High and Low RSI lines. The RSI calculation length (default is 14). The price source for each RSI line (though they are specifically designed to use high and low). In summary, this indicator is a purpose-built tool for traders who rely on divergence. It provides a more precise and visually intuitive way to track momentum at its true peaks and troughs, helping to make more informed trading decisions.

Anti-SMT + FVG SignalMade by Laila Anti-SMT + FVG Strategy A contrarian price-action strategy that combines SMT illusion with Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmation and multiple filters. Strategy Concept This strategy challenges traditional SMT divergence logic. Instead of entering trades based on expected SMT divergence between correlated pairs (e.g., EURUSD and DXY), it assumes the divergence is false and will reverse. The concept is to take advantage of these false signals, also known as "SMT illusions." To confirm the setup, the strategy integrates Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), which are price imbalances left unfilled between candle 1 and 3. Anti-SMT Logic Short Entry: EURUSD makes a new high (Candle 1) DXY does not make a new low Long Entry: EURUSD makes a new low (Candle 1) DXY does not make a new high This divergence is considered false, and the strategy expects a reversal. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Confirmation A trade is only triggered if the price touches a Fair Value Gap during: Candle 1 (the candle that forms the SMT illusion), or Candle 2 (entry confirmation) This helps avoid low-quality setups and increases entry precision. Additional Filters To improve robustness and prevent overfitting, the strategy includes: EMA Trend Filter: Long entries are allowed only if price is above the 50 EMA Short entries are allowed only if price is below the 50 EMA Time Filter: Trades are only permitted between 08:00 and 18:00 UTC Cooldown Filter: A minimum of 10 candles between trades is required to prevent overtrading Strategy Parameters and Defaults Optimized for EURUSD on the 4-hour (4H) timeframe Includes realistic commission and slippage Uses conservative position sizing (e.g., 1% per trade) Backtesting over hundreds of trades shows approximately 57% win rate under default conditions These results are historical and do not guarantee future performance Purpose and Value This strategy offers a structured and logical approach to contrarian trading by: Introducing the concept of false SMT divergence Using price inefficiencies (FVGs) as confirmation Filtering trades with realistic and widely accepted conditions Encouraging quality over quantity through strict entry rules It is not a simple mashup but a well-defined trading system that blends institutional concepts in a usable framework.
