Sentinel Cascade [JOAT]

Sentinel Cascade is a three-stage adaptive Supertrend overlay. Where a classic Supertrend uses one fixed-ATR band, this script chains three Supertrend stages on top of each other and modulates each stage's width with a different regime signal. Bands tighten when the market is trending cleanly and widen when volatility expands or behavior turns mean-reverting.

What makes it different
  • A standard Supertrend gives one binary direction state. Sentinel Cascade gives three nested direction states that act like a confluence stack. Alignment of all three is the highest-conviction read.
  • The ATR feeding the Supertrend is smoothed through a Kaufman Efficiency Ratio. Trend-efficient periods get a faster ATR response. Choppy periods get a slower response.
  • Stage 2's width scales with a volume Z-score. High-volume bars widen the band so transient noise is less likely to flip the stage.
  • Stage 3's width scales with a lightweight two-point Hurst estimator (R/S over short and long windows). Trending Hurst above 0.5 widens. Mean-reverting Hurst below 0.5 tightens.
  • A Sentinel pulse fires only when Stage 3 flips AND Stage 2 confirms the new direction within three bars. A coincidence filter for higher-quality regime shifts.


How it works
  1. Compute a basis price as the midpoint of the recent highest high and lowest low.
  2. Compute a KAMA-smoothed ATR from the basis.
  3. Build Stage 1 as a Supertrend on the basis using the KAMA-ATR and the Stage 1 factor.
  4. Build Stage 2 as a Supertrend on Stage 1's output, with its factor multiplied by a clamped volume-Z modulator.
  5. Build Stage 3 as a Supertrend on Stage 2's output, with its factor multiplied by a clamped Hurst modulator.
  6. Track the Sentinel pulse, the ATR-percentile regime (squeeze / normal / expansion), and a running count of intraday Stage 3 flips.


Reading the chart
  • Three stacked trend lines. Stage 1 thickest, Stage 3 thinnest. Colors flip between bull and bear on direction changes.
  • A gradient ribbon between Stage 1 (or Stage 2 by user choice) and Stage 3 brightens when the stack is spread, fades when it converges.
  • An optional iridescent candle recolor scales tint with distance from Stage 3.
  • A horizontal sight-line projects Stage 3's current level back into history so past respect or rejection at that level is visible.
  • Persistent flip markers record each Stage 3 flip and retroactively append an OK or FAIL tag after a user-defined persistence window.
  • A right-edge state block summarizes alignment of all three stages plus the ATR squeeze and expansion read.


Signals
  • Stage 3 bull / bear shift (any flip)
  • Cascade alignment (all three stages agree)
  • Stage 2 retest / bounce inside an active trend
  • ATR squeeze and expansion entry (percentile-based)

All signals are gated on barstate.isconfirmed or barstate.ishistory. No future-bar referencing. No lookahead_on.

Inputs
  • Cascade: range basis length, ATR period, KAMA efficiency length, Stage 1 / 2 / 3 factors.
  • Regime: volume-Z lookback, Hurst short / long windows.
  • Visual: bullish color, bearish color, toggles for ribbon, sentinel pulse, iridescent candles, bounce markers, ribbon anchor.
  • On-chart: stage value labels, flip timeline labels, squeeze background tint, Stage 3 cloud, sight-line, state block, daily flip counter.
  • Dashboard: position, size, watermark row.


How traders use this
  • Trend continuation: take in the direction of Stage 3 when price retests Stage 2 from the trending side.
  • High-conviction entries: wait for cascade alignment (all three stages agree) before sizing up.
  • Mean-reversion fades: when Hurst is clearly below 0.5 and a Stage 3 flip prints near recent extremes, the new trend is statistically less likely to persist.
  • Volatility context: ATR percentile regime tells you whether the move is happening in a compressed, normal, or extended volatility environment. Sizing should account for that.


Limitations
  • The two-point Hurst estimator is a fast approximation, not the full rescaled-range statistic. It is monotonically meaningful but is not a precise persistence coefficient.
  • Like every Supertrend variant, this is a trend-following construct. It is best on instruments with clear directional regimes and worst in extended choppy ranges.
  • Pivots and percentile-based regime classifications need warm-up bars before their values stabilize.
  • Past behavior is not a guarantee of future behavior. No indicator can remove market uncertainty.


Compatibility
Pine Script v6, single-file open-source indicator. Works on any symbol and any timeframe. Uses no request.security calls. Non-repainting beyond the normal Supertrend right-bar reactivity inherent to band ratchet logic.

Defaults
Mint bullish color, red bearish color, top-right medium dashboard, all on-chart visualizations on. Open the inputs panel to tune for your instrument or to declutter for screenshots.
