Quiet Period Box with Key Earnings LevelThe green box is the new programming for the "Quiet Period" to show when a company doesn't comment on anything about the prospects for the company which means that analysts can have an undue influence on the stock price during the quiet period.
Once the company reports earnings, a "Green Triangle" is created to include the day before and the day after the earnings announcement to then reveal the important price level, or "Key Level" which is the mid-point of this price action around the earnings release.
How to USE the indicator: The interesting part of this analysis is how these reference price levels have an influence in the future trading of shares. If a stock is in a bullish trend, the mid-point of the earnings release is the ideal, low-risk point to enter long with a stop 1, 2 or 3 ranges on the other side of the "Key Level" in case it doesn't work out. The target can be a variety of techniques from using the width of the "quiet period" range added to the "earnings level" to derive a price target.
The inverse would also be true. If the general trend of a stock was down, the mid-point of the 'earnings level' would provide supply and stop the price advance after a down move on earnings. You can see for yourself looking back over the history of the stock whether or not this method would be a profitable approach or not.
What I like is having the knowledge of where the important levels are on a stock chart so when the price gets there I can then decide whether or not to take a trade. You can set alerts on the "earnings level" and the highs and lows of the "quiet period" box to alert you to when a stock is worth looking at.
Over a year ago, I made the "Earnings Level" free to all users here at TradingView after keeping it a fee-based private indicator for close to 10 years. I feel a great debt of gratitude for TradingView for creating this wonderful platform for all of us to share ideas and I wanted everyone to have this powerful indicator to help investors and traders alike.
Now with this "Quiet Period" box publication, the patterns in the chaos of market action can be more easily found and you can be more at peace with the volatility in each stock when you can see the stock has been in a pre-defined time-zone for comparison.
Wishing you all the best of good fortune in your investing and trading and I look forward to hearing your questions.
A huge thank you goes to Ivan Labrie here at TradingView @IvanLabrie for writing the code for this indicator. He is a champion of technical analysis and the many methods of the Time@Mode, Key Earnings, Risk, Reward, Psychology, Trend and options strategies.

Multi-Timeframe Trend Matrix [JOAT]Multi-Timeframe Trend Matrix
Reads several timeframes with several methods at once and scores their agreement into a single alignment signal — without lookahead.
What it is
Trading a single timeframe blinds you to the larger context; watching many by eye is slow and inconsistent. This indicator evaluates a grid of timeframes and trend methods, turns the whole grid into one alignment score, and signals when top-down agreement forms. It is an original multi-timeframe aggregation tool built to avoid the common pitfalls of higher-timeframe requests.
How it works
• The matrix — a set of higher and lower timeframes is each assessed by several independent trend methods (such as a moving-average relationship, a directional trend measure and a momentum read). Each cell of the grid returns simply bullish or bearish, so the picture is easy to interpret.
• No lookahead — every higher-timeframe value is pulled with lookahead disabled, so the indicator never borrows future data from an unclosed higher-timeframe bar. This is a deliberate, disclosed design choice that keeps the signals honest and non-repainting on historical bars.
• Alignment score — the grid is condensed into one signed score representing how strongly all timeframes and methods agree. Full agreement produces a strong reading; a split grid produces a weak, near-neutral one.
• State-machine signals — a Buy fires when alignment turns sufficiently bullish from a non-bullish state; a Sell is the mirror. Requiring a state change means the matrix will not re-signal the same direction repeatedly — the signals are self-spacing.
Trade levels
Each signal draws a red risk box to the ATR stop and a green reward box to the third target, with inner dividers and right-edge labels for entry, stop and each take-profit at your R multiples.
The dashboard
An adjustable alignment-matrix panel displays every timeframe-by-method cell as bullish or bearish, a bipolar alignment-score headline, the active signal, a conviction estimate, and a live first-target-before-stop tally from closed bars only. The grid shows exactly which timeframes agree and which disagree.
How to use it
• Works on any asset; pick a base timeframe and let the grid supply the higher-timeframe context.
• Favour entries when the grid is broadly aligned; be cautious when it is mixed.
• Use it as a top-down filter alongside your own entry method, or take its aligned signals directly.
Settings
The set of timeframes, the methods and their lengths, the alignment threshold, ATR risk multiple and target R multiples, plus visual and dashboard controls.
Originality and usefulness
The contribution is the aggregation framework: a disciplined, lookahead-free multi-timeframe, multi-method grid condensed into one transparent alignment score with a state-machine trigger. Seeing the full grid — not just a final arrow — is what lets a trader trust or override the signal for themselves.
Notes and limitations
• Higher-timeframe values update only as those bars close, so alignment can shift when a higher-timeframe bar completes — this is expected and prevents lookahead bias.
• Strong alignment can still precede a reversal; agreement is context, not certainty.
• The tally reflects only past bars on the current chart and is not a forecast.
• Educational and analytical tool, not financial advice.

RTI Trend State + MacroCoverRTI Trend State + MacroCover
A trend-state oscillator built on the Relative Trend Index (RTI) — a stochastic-position measure of where price sits inside its recent high/low range, then EMA-smoothed:
raw = 100 * (close - lowest(low, n)) / (highest(high, n) - lowest(low, n))
RTI = EMA(raw, smooth) -> a 0-100 line
How the state works
The 0-100 RTI is converted into a persistent LONG / FLAT / SHORT state through a hysteresis band , so it does not flip on noise around the mid-line:
RTI above the upper band -> LONG
RTI below the lower band -> SHORT
in between -> holds the last state
The gap between the two bands is the hysteresis — widen it for fewer, steadier flips; narrow it for a more reactive read.
MacroCover (optional long bias)
When the state would be SHORT but price trades above a slow EMA (default 200), the short is covered to FLAT — i.e. it won't fight the higher-timeframe uptrend. Turn MacroCover off for a symmetric long/short reading.
On the chart
The RTI line (0-100) colored by state: green long, red short, gray flat.
Dashed upper/lower bands and a dotted mid-line.
State background tint and flip markers where the state changes.
A compact table with the current RTI value, state and macro side.
The RTI value plus state_-1_0_1 and ema_macro are available in the Data Window for tooltips and cross-checks.
Inputs
RTI engine — Lookback n (30), EMA smoothing (3), upper/lower bands (55 / 45).
MacroCover — on/off and macro EMA length (200).
Timeframe — use the chart timeframe, or lock the calculation to a fixed resolution.
Visual — toggle the state background, flip markers and table.
Notes
Works on any symbol and any timeframe.
Non-repainting : values are computed on confirmed bars, and the optional higher-timeframe request uses lookahead_off.
This is a discretionary / confluence tool, not financial advice or a complete trading system.

Breakout & Retest Entry Signals & the Break-vs-RetestOVERVIEW
"Wait for the retest" is the most repeated piece of advice in breakout trading. It is also, as far as I can tell, completely untested by the people who repeat it.
This tool settles it — on your instrument, with your settings — by taking BOTH entries on the SAME breaks and grading them against the same control:
PER-TRADE EDGE expectancy vs control · n
Break entry +0.09R +0.02R · n=412
Retest — CLEAN +0.31R +0.02R · n=118
Retest — DEEP -0.04R +0.02R · n=76
clean vs deep (t) 3.41 CLEAN IS BETTER
BUT — HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET IT?
Breaks that ever retested 47.0% (194/412)
after a run of >3 closes 31.2% vs 55.8% otherwise
False-break rate 13.3%
EXPECTED VALUE PER BREAK
Take every break +0.09R (100% of breaks)
Wait for the retest +0.06R (47% of breaks)
VERDICT NO DIFFERENCE — pick either
That last block is the entire point. A better per-trade edge is worthless if you only get the trade half the time — so the WAIT policy is scored as P(retest) x E , because on every break that never retests you get NOTHING. The two are then compared with a significance test, and the verdict is allowed to be "no difference".
It is a research and framing tool. NOT a strategy, NOT a signal service, NOT a validated edge.
WHAT IT ALREADY FOUND — measured live on NIFTY futures
timeframe breaks retested false breaks verdict
1m 334 49.4% 29.6% NO DIFFERENCE
3m 323 53.3% 13.6% NO DIFFERENCE
5m 328 53.4% 14.0% NO DIFFERENCE
15m 306 51.0% 12.7% TAKE THE BREAK
1h 274 50.0% 16.4% NO DIFFERENCE
TWO THINGS JUMP OUT.
The retest rate is 50-53% on every timeframe. Bulkowski, measuring throwbacks across 10,348 chart patterns on US daily stocks, found 50-60%. A completely different market, a completely different method, and the same number. That is a real phenomenon, not an artefact of the detector.
The false-break rate is 26.5% on the 1m and 13-15% everywhere else. THE ONE-MINUTE BREAK IS TWICE AS LIKELY TO BE A LIE. That is not folklore, it is this instrument's own number, and it is exactly the kind of thing a trader should know before choosing a timeframe.
And the verdict, on four of the five: NO DIFFERENCE — pick either. Once the geometry is honest and the test is a real one, the great break-versus-retest argument simply does not resolve on this instrument at most speeds. On the 15m it does resolve — and it says TAKE THE BREAK, which is the opposite of what almost everyone will tell you.
That is what a measurement looks like. It disagrees with the folklore on one timeframe, refuses to take a side on four others, and does not care what you were hoping for. No tool that needs to sell you a signal would ever print "NO DIFFERENCE".
THE ONE THING EVERYONE GETS BACKWARDS
Thomas Bulkowski measured throwbacks and pullbacks across 10,348 chart patterns. His finding:
"Do throwbacks hurt performance? YES: 97% of the time chart patterns with upward breakouts
perform better post-breakout WITHOUT a throwback."
"Do pullbacks hurt performance? YES: 91% of chart pattern types with downward breakouts
perform better if a pullback does NOT occur."
Read that again. The retest is not a gift. It is a SYMPTOM — evidence that the move is weak, that supply came back, that the break did not have the strength to run.
And yet "wait for the retest" is good advice for a completely different reason: it gives you a better price and a tighter stop.
BOTH ARE TRUE AT ONCE. They are two opposing effects on the same trade, and they have never been put on one scale and netted out. That is what this script does. The retest may still win — a better entry can outweigh a weaker move — but nobody has ever checked, and the answer is different on every instrument and every timeframe.
A CLEAN RETEST AND A DEEP ONE ARE NOT THE SAME EVENT
Bulkowski again, and this is his sharpest single finding on the subject: during a throwback, if price REMAINS ABOVE the breakout price the subsequent rise averages 40%. If it drops BELOW the breakout price and then recovers, the rise averages 29%. That is 400 samples versus 2,767.
Pooling those two throws away the strongest signal in the whole idea. So they are separated:
CLEAN retest — price came back and touched the level, but never CLOSED back through it.
DEEP retest — price CLOSED back through the level, then recovered.
They are graded separately, tested against each other, and labelled separately on the chart. If clean beats deep on your instrument, then "wait for the retest" is not one rule — it is two, and only one of them works.
AND CAN YOU SEE IT COMING?
The real, unpriced cost of a WAIT policy is that roughly half the time you never get filled. So it matters enormously whether you can predict which breaks will retest.
Bulkowski found that if price has more than three consecutively higher closes ending the day before the breakout, the throwback probability drops materially. So the panel reports the retest rate SPLIT BY THAT:
after a run of >3 closes 31.2% vs 55.8% otherwise
If the split is real on your instrument, then after a strong run into the break you should simply TAKE IT — because the retest you are waiting for is probably never coming.
IS YOUR VOLUME FILTER EARNING ITS KEEP?
Every trader is taught that a breakout must be confirmed by volume. Bulkowski's volume study says that after an ABOVE-average-volume breakout, FAILURES DOUBLE and the likelihood of a throwback TRIPLES, while the move itself is barely better.
That is testable — but only if the low-volume breaks are allowed into the sample. So VOLUME IS NOT A GATE ON THE RECORD. Every break is recorded; volume gates only the SIGNAL. The panel then reports what your filter is actually worth:
Break ON volume +0.11R n=246
Break OFF volume +0.06R n=166
on vs off (t) 0.82 no difference — it is doing nothing
The record is a fact about the market. The filter is a decision about the trade. They are kept apart, and this is what happens when you stop assuming and start measuring.
IDENTICAL GEOMETRY — and why this is not a detail
The target used to be THE NEXT OPPOSING LEVEL. That quietly destroyed the entire experiment.
The BREAK entry sits PAST the level (it closed through it). The RETEST entry sits BACK AT the level. So the retest is systematically FARTHER from the next opposing level, and was therefore being handed a BIGGER R:R for the SAME RISK — on every single trade, by construction. Live, that produced an R:R of 5.0 on one timeframe and 0.66 on another, and the on-chart key was cheerfully claiming "identical geometry" while the geometry was tilted toward the retest.
The trade now uses a FIXED R multiple, identical for the break, the retest and the control. The next opposing level is still drawn, and still tested — separately, as a descriptive statistic, with its hit rate reported next to its distance in R.
THE ANTI-BIAS GUARDS
ENTRY IS THE CLOSE, for both entries and for the control. Entering the retest AT the level — a better price than the close — while the break enters at its close would hand the retest a free head start on every trade, and settle the oldest argument in trading by rigging it.
THE CONTROL IS DIRECTION-MATCHED. Breaks run with the trend, so a direction-skewed event set measured against a symmetric 50/50 control inherits the drift for free and calls it an edge. Longs are compared only with control longs, shorts only with control shorts, and the control is blended back using the events' OWN direction mix.
EVERY VERDICT IS A TEST, NOT A COMPARISON. Break-vs-wait, clean-vs-deep, volume-on-vs-off — each is a Welch t-test that has to clear |t| > 1.96 before it is allowed to be a finding. For the wait policy, the variance of P(retest) x E is propagated by the delta method, because it is a product of two estimates and both carry error. A verdict that flips on a tenth of an R is not a verdict, it is noise wearing a costume.
Both barriers on one bar: the STOP is assumed first — conservative, and the only assumption that cannot flatter the result. Unresolved trades at the horizon are marked to market, not booked as losses.
THE LEVELS
Levels come from the extrema of a KERNEL-SMOOTHED price series (Nadaraya-Watson) rather than raw pivots, so they track the structure rather than the noise. A break requires a CLOSE beyond the level with displacement, not a wick. A false break is one that closes back inside quickly. All of it is computed on confirmed bars; the kernel is causal and never looks forward.
NON-REPAINT
The kernel confirms an extremum a half-window late, so a level appears some bars AFTER the swing that created it. That lag is the price of not repainting and it is paid deliberately. Levels, breaks, false breaks, retests, signals and every calibration event are computed on CONFIRMED bars only. Nothing is drawn and then moved.

CONCEPT CREDIT
Support/resistance, polarity and the breakout-retest idea are long-standing public trading concepts with no single author; the written tradition runs through Charles Dow, Richard Wyckoff and Edwards & Magee. The formal TRADING-RANGE BREAK was first tested at scale by William Brock, Josef Lakonishok and Blake LeBaron, Journal of Finance 47(5), 1992 — and their results were later shown to be vulnerable to data-snooping (Sullivan, Timmermann and White, 1999), which is exactly why this tool measures the rule on YOUR instrument rather than asserting it.
The throwback and pullback statistics that motivate the clean/deep split, the run-length predictor and the volume test are from Thomas Bulkowski ("Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns"; thepatternsite.com). His numbers are measured on US daily stocks. Whether they hold on YOUR instrument is precisely the question this script exists to answer — and it may well answer "no".

HONESTY AND LIMITATIONS
Calibration is IN-SAMPLE, with no costs or slippage, and uses overlapping windows. A proven in-sample edge is NOT a guarantee out-of-sample. Real fills, spreads and commissions will reduce it — and they will hurt the break entry more than the retest entry, because the break enters into momentum.
Bulkowski's throwback statistics are measured on US daily stocks over decades. They are the reason the questions are asked. They are NOT the answer, and this tool will tell you so if your instrument disagrees.
The verdict is allowed to be "NO DIFFERENCE — pick either", and on many instruments it will be. That is a real result. A tool that cannot report its own failure is an advertisement, not a measurement.
Nothing in this script predicts price.

Anchored VWAP Hand-Off 2.03Anchored VWAP Hand-Off 2.03 is a multi-leg cascading VWAP indicator. It starts with a classic Anchored VWAP from a user-selected date (Leg 1), then automatically creates new "hand-off" VWAP legs (up to 24) every time price crosses the previous VWAP. Each new leg resets its calculation from the bar of the cross, creating a dynamic chain of VWAPs that follow price action.
Key Features:
Source: Typically close (customizable).
Trigger: EMA(1) of the source (essentially price itself).
Color Logic: Each VWAP leg changes color based on whether price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) it. Supports unified color mode.
Up to 24 cascading legs (user controls how many are shown).
Visual anchor line at the start date.
Main Use Cases:
Dynamic Support & Resistance
The multiple VWAP legs act as adaptive moving support/resistance zones. Traders watch for bounces off these lines or breaks through several legs at once.
Trend Strength & Momentum
Strong trends often break multiple hand-off legs quickly.
Choppy/consolidating markets produce many frequent hand-offs (more lines clustering).
Mean Reversion Setups
Price tends to return to the nearest active VWAP legs. Useful for fade-the-extreme strategies.
Breakout / Breakdown Confirmation
When price decisively breaks through several VWAP legs in sequence, it often signals a high-probability directional move.
Intraday & Swing Trading
Particularly popular on stocks, futures, and crypto for finding "fair value" shifts after news events or strong moves. The hand-off mechanism makes it more responsive than a single static anchored VWAP.
Visual Market Structure
Helps traders see how "value" is migrating over time as new legs form.
Best Timeframes: Works on all, but especially useful on 5min to daily charts.Pro Tip: Start with 8–12 legs. Too many legs can make the chart noisy. Use the anchor date on significant events (earnings, breakout days, macro events, etc.).This indicator is an evolution of standard Anchored VWAP, designed to solve the problem of a single anchored VWAP becoming stale after big moves.

Machine Learning Price Bands Kernel Regression SignalsOVERVIEW
Every "AI band" on this platform draws two lines and asserts them. None of them can tell you how often price actually stays inside.
This one can — because it is built on a method that comes with a MATHEMATICAL COVERAGE GUARANTEE, and then it CHECKS WHETHER IT KEPT THE PROMISE, live, on your chart:
Coverage (empirical vs nominal) 89.1% vs 90% n = 20,266
Is the miss REAL? -0.9 pp z = -4.3 (real)
Verdict undercovering — real, but small
That is not a band. That is a prediction interval that has been audited, and it is the whole reason this tool exists.
It is a research and framing tool. NOT a strategy, NOT a signal service, NOT a validated edge.
THE MACHINE LEARNING, SPELLED OUT — no buzzwords, here is the actual model
1. NADARAYA-WATSON KERNEL REGRESSION. Non-parametric: no functional form is assumed, the data chooses the shape. Each past bar votes on the current estimate with a Gaussian weight that decays with distance. This is the same estimator Lo, Mamaysky and Wang used in the Journal of Finance to make chart-pattern recognition objective. It is real machine learning, and it is sixty years old.
The kernel here is CAUSAL. It only ever looks backwards. A centred kernel — the kind most "Nadaraya-Watson envelope" scripts use — peeks at bars that have not happened yet, and that is why their historical fit looks so much better than their live one.
2. BANDWIDTH BY PREDICTIVE MODEL SELECTION. The bandwidth h is the only real parameter, and it is not a magic number: several candidates are run in parallel and scored on their ROLLING ONE-STEP-AHEAD SQUARED ERROR. The winner is used. That is honest model selection — the criterion you would use to choose any forecaster — rather than a knob you turn until the chart looks nice.
3. CONFORMAL PREDICTION INTERVALS. The half-width is the (1-alpha) empirical quantile of the recent ABSOLUTE one-step-ahead errors. Under exchangeability this carries a FINITE-SAMPLE coverage guarantee, with NO distributional assumption at all: no normality, no GARCH, no volatility model. The model's own recent mistakes size the band — which is why it widens when the model starts being WRONG, not merely when price starts moving.
4. ADAPTIVE CONFORMAL INFERENCE — Gibbs and Candes, NeurIPS 2021.
Here is the problem with plain conformal prediction on markets, stated plainly: its guarantee holds under EXCHANGEABILITY, and financial returns are the textbook counterexample. Volatility CLUSTERS. So a residual quantile computed over a trailing window is always a step behind, the band is too narrow exactly when it matters, and the misses bunch together. Coverage lands quietly under nominal. Measured live on NIFTY futures before this was added: 89.1% against a nominal 90%, on the 1m, the 3m and the 1h, every one of them roughly four standard errors below target. Not a bug. The assumption breaking.
ACI makes the miscoverage level a LEARNED parameter:
alpha(t+1) = alpha(t) + gamma * (alpha - err(t))
Miss the interval and alpha falls, so the quantile rises and the band WIDENS. Cover it and alpha creeps back, so the band TIGHTENS. Long-run coverage provably converges to the target IRRESPECTIVE OF THE DATA GENERATING PROCESS — no exchangeability assumption anywhere.
A band that notices it is undercovering and fixes itself. Watch the alpha row: where it settles BELOW nominal is a direct measurement of how badly exchangeability fails on your instrument.
MEASURED, ON THE SAME INSTRUMENT, BEFORE AND AFTER:
timeframe plain conformal with ACI
1m 89.1% 90.1%
3m 89.1% 90.1%
5m 89.1% 90.1%
15m 90.1% 90.1%
1h 89.1% 90.1%
(nominal 90%)
Five timeframes, a four-standard-error undercoverage on four of them, closed. The binomial test now returns "calibrated — within sampling noise" and means it. That is not a backtest of a trading rule. That is a mathematical promise being kept, and being checked.
5. NORMALISED NONCONFORMITY — Papadopoulos et al. (2008), Lei et al. (2018).
The plain score |price - fit| is a SCALAR, which means the band is THE SAME WIDTH in a dead tape and in a crash. It therefore OVERCOVERS in calm and UNDERCOVERS in chaos — and the single marginal coverage figure is the average of those two errors, looking correct while being wrong in both directions.
Normalising divides each residual by a local scale estimate before taking the quantile, and multiplies it back when drawing:
score = |price - fit| / sigma band = fit +/- q * sigma
The band now scales with LOCAL DIFFICULTY — and note it is the MODEL'S difficulty, not the market's volatility. Related, but not the same thing, and the first one is what a prediction interval is actually about.
6. THE COVERAGE AUDIT. A guarantee you do not verify is just a claim.
TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COVERAGE, AND THE PANEL ANSWERS BOTH
IS THE MISS REAL? That is a binomial z-test and it needs no tolerance at all. Each bar is a Bernoulli trial with p = nominal, so the standard error of the observed coverage is sqrt(p(1-p)/n).
IS THE MISS BIG ENOUGH TO CARE ABOUT? That is a judgement, and you set it.
These are NOT the same question, and conflating them is how a band gets waved through as "calibrated". Measured live on NIFTY futures: at n = 20,266 the standard error is 0.21 pp, so an empirical coverage of 89.1% against a nominal 90% is a 0.9 pp miss — FOUR STANDARD ERRORS. Unmistakably real. Arguably too small to trade differently. A 5 pp tolerance called that "calibrated", which was the headline row of the script asserting the one thing the script exists to verify, and asserting it wrongly.
The panel now reports the size of the miss, its significance, and a verdict that distinguishes "within sampling noise" from "real, but small" from "MISCALIBRATED — do not trust the band". You get to decide which of those matters to you, and you get the numbers to decide with.
AND THEN THE ROW NOBODY HAS: CONDITIONAL COVERAGE
Coverage 90.0% vs 90% n = 20,178
calm / normal / turbulent 96.4% · 90.1% · 83.2%
A single marginal number can read a perfect 90% while the interval covers 96% of quiet bars and 83% of violent ones. Ninety per cent is then the AVERAGE OF TWO ERRORS — it looks right while being wrong in both directions, and it is wrong in the direction that costs you money exactly when it costs you money.
Exact conditional coverage is provably impossible without strong assumptions. But you can always MEASURE it, and almost nobody does. Bars are split into calm, normal and turbulent thirds by the percentile rank of ATR, and coverage is scored inside each. If the three numbers fan apart, the band is not breathing — and the normalised score is what closes the gap.
Turn the normalised score off and watch those three fan out. That is the demonstration.
FADE OR FOLLOW? THE TOOL DOES NOT PRETEND TO KNOW
Price leaving a 90% interval is statistically unusual. Whether to FADE it (an outlier, so bet on reversion) or FOLLOW it (the model has broken, so bet on the new regime) is an EMPIRICAL question, and the honest answer is often neither.
So both are logged, both are graded, and BOTH ARE TESTED AGAINST EACH OTHER.
That last part matters more than it sounds. Knowing that fading beats an unconditional control, and that following also beats an unconditional control, does not answer the question a trader is actually asking at a band break — which of the two should I do? They are mutually exclusive responses to the SAME event. So they are run head to head with a Welch t-test, and the answer is allowed to be:
FADE or FOLLOW? NEITHER — the break does not tell you which
If the difference does not clear the noise, then on this instrument the break carries no directional information, and saying so IS the finding. A tool that cannot report its own failure is an advertisement, not a measurement.
And the chart agrees with the panel. An unproven direction is still drawn — it is arithmetic, and you may want it — but it is drawn MUTED and labelled "(not proven)". It used to print "Follow the break" in full colour while the panel directly beneath it said "neither proven". The paint has to agree with the code.
THE ANTI-BIAS GUARDS
ENTRY IS THE CLOSE, for the event and for the control alike. A band break is a SIGNAL, not a fill. Entering at the band — a better price — while the control enters at the close hands every signal a free head start and manufactures an edge out of nothing.
THE CONTROL IS DIRECTION-MATCHED. In a downtrend there are more break-downs than break-ups, so FOLLOW skews short and FADE skews long. A direction-skewed event set measured against a 50/50 control inherits the index drift for free and calls it an edge. Longs are compared only with control longs, shorts only with control shorts, and the control is blended back using the events' OWN direction mix.
IDENTICAL GEOMETRY. Every event and every control trade uses the same stop and the same R multiple, so the comparison is apples to apples.
Both barriers on one bar: the STOP is assumed first — conservative, and the only assumption that cannot flatter the result. Unresolved trades at the horizon are marked to market, not booked as losses. Nothing is marked proven below t = 1.96.
NON-REPAINT
The kernel is causal, the bandwidth is chosen on past error only, the interval is built from past residuals, and coverage is scored by asking whether the actual close landed inside the interval that was published BEFORE it. Everything is computed on confirmed bars. Nothing is drawn and then moved.
WHY THESE PARTS ARE ONE TOOL
The regression gives the trend. Without the interval, a band is a guess. Without model selection, the bandwidth is a knob you turn until you like the picture. Without the coverage audit, a conformal interval is an unverified promise. And without the signal calibration, "price left the band" is folklore. Each piece is worthless alone — which is exactly why they ship together.

HONESTY AND LIMITATIONS
Conformal coverage is guaranteed under EXCHANGEABILITY. Financial returns are NOT exchangeable — volatility clusters, regimes shift — so the guarantee is approximate in practice. THAT IS PRECISELY WHY THE COVERAGE IS AUDITED LIVE INSTEAD OF ASSUMED. When empirical coverage drifts from nominal you are watching the assumption break, in real time, and you should believe what you see rather than the label.
A prediction interval says where price is LIKELY TO BE. It says nothing about DIRECTION, and it is not a forecast. Coverage being correct does not make band breaks tradeable — those are two different claims, and the tool tests them separately for exactly that reason.
Calibration figures are IN-SAMPLE, with no costs or slippage, and use overlapping windows. A proven in-sample edge is NOT a guarantee out-of-sample. Nothing here predicts price.

RSL Wert (Levy)Although Robert Levy originally designed the indicator purely as a trend-following tool (true to the motto: "Buy the strongest and stick to assets with an RSL greater than 1.0"), mathematically it measures exactly what you described: the percentage deviation of the current price from its moving average (MA 130).If you use the RSL as an overbought indicator (an oscillator for extreme zones), you should pay attention to two main things:1. Historical Context of the Individual AssetAn RSL of, for example, $1.25$ means that the price is trading 25% above its 130-day moving average.For a sluggish blue-chip stock, this can already represent extreme overheating, which historically has almost always led to a correction (mean reversion).For a highly volatile tech stock or crypto asset in a massive trend phase, an RSL of $1.25$ might be completely normal, with actual overheating only setting in at $1.40$ or higher.2. Interplay with the Trend DirectionIn a bull market: A high RSL does signal overheating, but it is often a sign of extreme momentum. Here, "overheating" frequently leads to a sideways consolidation where the moving average catches up, rather than a sharp crash.At a trend reversal: If the RSL spikes to historical extremes during an already mature trend phase and then abruptly loses momentum, it serves as a classic warning sign to take profits.Rule of thumb: The further the price stretches away from the MA 130 like a rubber band (resulting in a high RSL), the greater the short-term risk of a pullback to the average.
Robert Levy hat den Indikator zwar ursprünglich als reines Trendfolgewerkzeug konzipiert (frei nach dem Motto: „Kaufe das Stärkste und halte dich an Werte mit einer RSL größer als 1,0“), aber mathematisch misst er genau das, was du beschreibst: die prozentuale Abweichung des aktuellen Kurses von seinem gleitenden Durchschnitt (GD 130).
Wenn man den RSL als Überhitzungs-Indikator (Oszillator für Extremzonen) nutzt, sollte man auf zwei Dinge achten:1.
Historischer Kontext des einzelnen WertesEin RSL von z. B. 1,25 bedeutet, dass der Kurs 25% über seinem 130-Tage-Durchschnitt notiert.Für eine träge Standardaktie kann das bereits eine extreme Überhitzung sein, die historisch fast immer zu einer Korrektur (Mean Reversion) geführt hat.
Für einen hochvolatilen Tech-Wert oder Krypto-Asset in einer massiven Trendphase kann ein RSL von 1,25 dagegen völlig normal sein, bevor die eigentliche Überhitzung erst bei 1,40 oder höher ansetzt.2.
Das Zusammenspiel mit der TrendrichtungIm Bullenmarkt: Ein hoher RSL zeigt zwar Überhitzung an, ist aber oft ein Zeichen von extremer Dynamik (Momentum). Hier führt die „Überhitzung“ häufig eher zu einer Seitwärtskonsolidierung, bei der der Durchschnitt nachzieht, anstatt zu einem scharfen Crash.Bei der Trendwende: Schießt der RSL in einer ohnehin schon reifen Trendphase auf historische Extremwerte und verliert dann schlagartig an Dynamik, ist das ein klassisches Warnsignal für Gewinnmitnahmen.Als Daumenregel lässt sich festhalten: Je weiter sich der Kurs elastisch wie ein Gummiband vom GD 130 nach oben entfernt (hoher RSL), desto größer wird kurzfristig das Risiko eines Rücksetzers zum Durchschnitt.

Supply & Demand Order Blocks [JOAT]Supply and Demand Order Blocks
Detects institutional order blocks from displacement, tracks them until mitigated, and signals reactions when price returns to a fresh zone.
What it is
Large participants cannot fill size at a single price, so they leave a footprint: the last opposing candle before an aggressive, imbalanced push. That candle marks the zone where unfilled orders rest and where price often returns to be re-accumulated or re-distributed. This indicator locates those zones objectively, manages their lifecycle, and frames the reaction as a trade. It is an original order-block engine with strict zone management.
How it works
• Displacement — the engine measures each impulsive leg over a short window against an ATR multiple. Only moves that exceed that threshold (optionally requiring a fair-value gap) count as institutional displacement, filtering out ordinary candles.
• Order block — the last opposing candle before a qualifying displacement is stored as a zone: the last down candle before a bullish push becomes demand, the last up candle before a bearish push becomes supply.
• Zone management — active blocks are held in parallel arrays, drawn as boxes extended to the right, faded by age and saturated by displacement strength, pruned once mitigated (price closes through them), and capped at a live maximum so the chart stays clean.
• Signals — a Buy fires when price taps a fresh demand block and closes back up (a bullish rejection); a Sell is the mirror at a supply block. An optional trend filter keeps you buying demand in uptrends and selling supply in downtrends, and a minimum-age plus minimum-gap rule stops a freshly formed block from self-triggering and prevents clustering.
Trade levels
Each signal draws a red risk box from entry to a stop placed beyond the block and a green reward box to the third target, with inner dividers and right-edge labels for entry, stop and each take-profit at your R multiples.
The dashboard
An adjustable order-flow-depth panel shows the trend bias, the live counts of demand and supply blocks, the distance to the nearest zone, a conviction estimate, the active signal, and a live first-target-before-stop tally from closed bars only.
How to use it
• Works on any asset and timeframe; larger timeframes produce fewer, more significant blocks.
• Trade reactions at fresh, unmitigated zones aligned with the trend filter; treat mitigated zones as spent.
• Use the nearest-zone distance to anticipate where a reaction may occur before it happens.
Settings
Displacement window and ATR size, fair-value-gap requirement, maximum live blocks and extension, minimum block age, trend filter length, risk buffer and target R multiples, plus visual and dashboard controls.
Originality and usefulness
The contribution is the full lifecycle model: an ATR-based displacement filter, objective block selection, age-and-strength-aware zone rendering, mitigation-based pruning, and a self-trigger guard — combined with a trend-filtered, non-repainting reaction signal and explained end to end.
Notes and limitations
• Not every tap of a zone reverses; blocks can and do break, which is why mitigation pruning and stops exist.
• Order-block definitions vary between traders; this engine uses one consistent, disclosed definition.
• The tally reflects only past bars on the current chart and is not a forecast.
• Educational and analytical tool, not financial advice.

Trend EngineThe Trend Engine: What It's Actually Doing
Most indicators give you one opinion. This one gives you five, then makes them argue it out across four different time horizons before handing you a single verdict.
The core idea is confluence. No single signal - not a moving average, not an oscillator, not volume - is reliable enough to trade on its own. But when five different kinds of evidence all point the same direction at once, that agreement means something. The Trend Engine's whole job is to collect that evidence, weigh it, and show you at a glance whether the market's various signals are singing in harmony or talking over each other.
The five witnesses
Each one is trying to answer the same question - "is this bullish or bearish?" - from a different angle, so their occasional disagreements are informative:
The EMA stack (21/50/200) asks the oldest question in technical analysis: is price properly stacked above its short, medium, and long-term averages, the way a healthy uptrend should be? This is your structural read.
The Supertrend is fast and reactive - an ATR-based line that flips relatively quickly when price reverses. Think of it as the tactical scout: first to notice, first to be wrong sometimes too.
The Vol Stop is the slower, wider cousin - a Chandelier-style ATR trailing stop (20-period, 3.25x multiplier) that doesn't flip nearly as often. It's less about catching every wiggle and more about confirming the durable trend, and it doubles as an actual stop-loss reference level.
OBV (On-Balance Volume) checks whether volume is actually backing the move - is money flowing in on the way up, or is this a rally nobody's actually buying?
The Heikin-Ashi candle is a noise filter. Its smoothed color tells you, at the most basic level, whether the last bar of price action itself was constructive or not - a simple gut check against the more complex signals above it.
Each of those casts a vote of +1 or -1 (the EMA stack can go to +/-2 for full alignment), and they get added together into a single confluence score.
Reading across time, not just across signals
Here's the second layer: the same five-vote process runs independently on four timeframes - 1-hour, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly - with Daily and Weekly counted double, since those tend to matter more for positioning than an hourly blip or a slow-moving monthly trend. That weighted sum becomes the Net Score, expressed as a percentage of its theoretical maximum, so you can see whether the whole structure - not just one timeframe - is pulling in one direction.
Volatility as a confidence check, not just a data point
Markets don't behave the same way in calm conditions as they do in chaotic ones, so the Trend Engine also measures where current volatility (via ATR) sits relative to its own recent history - Low, Normal, Elevated, or Extreme. Rather than just displaying that as trivia, it actually discounts the confluence score during high-volatility regimes. A "perfect" 5-signal alignment during an Extreme volatility spike gets treated with more skepticism than the same alignment during a calm, Low-volatility grind - because whipsaws and false signals cluster in turbulent conditions. Daily and Weekly volatility get their own discount applied independently, so a calm Weekly trend isn't penalized just because the Daily chart is having a rough week.
The scoreboard
All of this rolls up into a table that sits on the chart: each timeframe's Regime (Strong Bull down to Strong Bear), a Strength bar, the Net Score percentage, and - most useful day to day - a Net Score percentile, which tells you how today's reading stacks up against the last 100 bars of its own history. That last one matters because the theoretical maximum score is almost never actually reached in real markets; knowing that today is more extreme (or more tepid) than 90% of recent readings is a far more actionable fact than knowing you're at "62% of a ceiling nobody ever touches."
The honest caveat
This is a confluence tool, not an oracle. Three of the five components (Supertrend, Vol Stop, Heikin-Ashi) are all fundamentally trend-following price-action tools, so in a strongly trending market they'll tend to agree with each other simply because they're measuring similar things - that's not five independent opinions converging, that's three cousins nodding along. The real diversification in the model comes from EMA structure and OBV, which are measuring genuinely different things (positioning and participation, respectively). Worth keeping in mind when the Regime row reads "Strong Bull" across the board - ask whether that's broad agreement or just correlated trend-followers all catching the same wave. Indikator

NIMBUS [ThrowMaster]NIMBUS — Ichimoku, Reimagined
Classic Ichimoku is brilliant at one question: "Where is the market right now — above, below, or inside equilibrium?" It is far weaker at a second question every trader actually asks: "What is the market about to do?" NIMBUS keeps the timeless Ichimoku framework intact and adds three dimensions built to close that gap — while staying, above all, honest about what it is: a context compass, not a signal service.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT NIMBUS ADDS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⭐ Kumo Calendar — Twist Countdown
Here is a fact most traders overlook: the cloud in front of price is already fully drawn. It is built entirely from bars that have ALREADY closed, then shifted forward. That means the next Kumo twist — the moment Senkou Span A and B swap places — is knowable in advance. NIMBUS scans the forward cloud and counts the exact number of bars until that twist reaches price, and warns you when a thin (weak-support) section is approaching. Ichimoku's most-criticised trait, its lag, becomes a schedule you can read ahead of time.
🩵 Breath — Volume-Reactive Cloud
A traditional cloud shows only price geometry; two identical-looking clouds can hide wildly different conviction. NIMBUS makes the cloud breathe: it grows more solid on high-participation bars and fainter on quiet ones, using a rolling volume percentile. Strength becomes something you feel at a glance, not something you have to calculate. (If a symbol reports no volume, the cloud simply falls back to a fixed opacity — no errors, no false readings.)
🎯 Tenkan / Kijun Cross Clarity
The Tenkan–Kijun cross is one of Ichimoku's core events, yet on most charts it hides in a tangle of lines. NIMBUS marks it precisely: a teal circle at the exact price and bar of a bullish cross, coral for bearish. No hunting, no guessing.
◈ Alignment Hints
When four independent Ichimoku dimensions agree — price vs cloud, Tenkan vs Kijun, cloud colour, and the lagging read — AND price reclaims or loses the cloud on a confirmed bar, NIMBUS prints a small diamond. Think of it as a puzzle-game hint: a nudge to look at the right place at the right time. It is deliberately NOT a buy or sell command, and it never gives a target.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NIMBUS uses the standard Ichimoku engine — Tenkan (9), Kijun (26), Senkou Span A/B, and the lagging span, all fully adjustable. "Price vs cloud" always compares price to the cloud value formed 25 bars ago — the cloud actually sitting beneath price — so the reading reflects real, settled structure. The Breath layer reads a 100-bar volume percentile. The Twist Countdown walks the already-shifted forward cloud bar by bar. The dashboard summarises everything in one compact, theme-aware panel with a mobile Compact Mode.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Read the cloud for trend context: above = bullish structure, below = bearish, inside = balance/chop.
• Watch the Twist Countdown to anticipate when the cloud's support/resistance character is about to flip — useful for planning, not for firing blind.
• Let Breath tell you whether a move carries participation or is running on fumes.
• Treat Hints as a reason to zoom in and do your own analysis, never as an instruction.
• Combine with your own risk management. NIMBUS describes context; your plan decides the trade.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ON REPAINTING (honest)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Once a bar closes, every Tenkan/Kijun/Span value is fixed and never redrawn. Hints and cross circles are all confirmed on bar close, so a printed mark cannot later disappear. The forward cloud is built only from closed bars, so it is fixed the moment it appears. Like all Ichimoku tools, values on the CURRENT, still-forming bar update in real time until that bar closes — this is inherent to the framework, not hidden repainting, and it is documented directly in the code comments.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NIMBUS is not another line pack bolted onto Ichimoku. The Kumo Calendar reframes the forward cloud as a countdown rather than a static shape; Breath encodes participation into the cloud's opacity; and the whole tool is presented as an explicit, self-aware CONTEXT instrument — it tells you what the market is, and refuses to pretend it knows your trade. The code is fully open for you to read, study, and learn from.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NOTE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
No indicator predicts the future or guarantees results, and NIMBUS makes no such claim. It is a decision-support and context tool. Markets involve risk; always use independent judgement and sound risk management. Not financial advice.

True RSITrue RSI | MisinkoMaster
The True RSI is a sophisticated reimagining of classical momentum. While the standard Relative Strength Index has served as a cornerstone of technical analysis for decades, it possesses a fundamental limitation: it treats all price movements equally, regardless of the time elapsed since the market made its last major peak or trough. The True RSI solves this structural blind spot by merging price magnitude with temporal trend strength, weighting gains and losses according to their cyclical maturity.
By dynamically scaling price changes against the time-distance of local extremes, this indicator filters out lateral market noise, reduces false overbought and oversold readings during strong trends, and delivers highly responsive execution signals.
How It Works (The Core Architecture)
Instead of relying solely on arithmetic averages of upward and downward price closes, True RSI filters raw market data through a multi-dimensional momentum matrix:
Temporal Trend Weighting: The algorithm continuously tracks how recently the market has formed local highs and lows. Gains are mathematically weighted against the strength of the upward cycle, while losses are weighted against the strength of the downward cycle.
Cycle-Weighted Ratio: The accumulated, time-weighted gains and losses are calculated over your lookback period to establish a true relative strength ratio. If gains occur during an actively surging upward cycle, they are heavily amplified; if they occur during a dying trend, they are heavily discounted.
Smoothing and Normalization: This ratio is translated into a normalized scale bounded between 0 and 100, providing an incredibly smooth yet responsive oscillator curve alongside a secondary momentum velocity histogram.
Key Features
Time-Weighted Velocity: True RSI prevents premature exhaustion signals during strong, healthy trends because it understands the cyclical age of the current market move.
On-Chart Candle Morphing: The system automatically tracks the oscillator state and alters the colors of your main price bars to keep you visually aligned with the macro trend.
Overlay Execution Labels: Prints pristine Long and Short labels directly on your price pane the moment the underlying structural momentum shifts past your designated thresholds.
Internal Divergence Histogram: Built directly behind the main oscillator is a custom acceleration histogram that monitors the rate of change of the index, pinpointing hidden momentum shifts before they reflect in the price.
Input Parameters & Optimization Guide
Lookback Period: Controls the baseline window for both the cycle-strength calculations and the price change evaluations. A default of 21 bars balances macro trend stability with immediate short-term utility.
Long / Short Thresholds: The structural boundaries that dictate trend shifts. By default, crossing above 50 signals a bullish regime, while dropping below 50 initiates a bearish regime.
Overbought / Oversold Thresholds: Tailored extremes designed to isolate true premium and discount zones. The default 80 and 20 boundaries act as high-probability mean-reversion targets.
Trading Strategies & Execution
Trend Regime Shift
When momentum builds structural backing, the indicator updates its trend state:
A crossing of the True RSI above the Long Threshold triggers a green Long label on the chart, changing candle colors to vibrant green.
A crossing of the True RSI below the Short Threshold triggers a pink Short label, shifting candle colors to pink.
Exhaustion Reversals
Because price movement is weighted against cycle time, entering the overbought (80) or oversold (20) zones represents a market that is genuinely overstretched both in terms of price velocity and time. Reversals from these zones carry high statistical significance for counter-trend scalps or trailing-stop targets.
Acceleration Divergences
Watch the central histogram centered around the 50 line. When the price is grinding flat but the histogram starts to rise or fall aggressively, it shows that the internal speed of the True RSI is accelerating. This hidden momentum often foreshadows explosive breakout expansions.

ATR Trend Band by ByblloATR Trend Band by Bybllo
This indicator plots a smoothed trend line (the "rope") that only moves once price has traveled beyond an ATR-based threshold from its last position, so small back-and-forth noise is absorbed and the line only steps in the direction of a genuine move. Around that rope line, a stepped upper/lower band tracks the highs and lows of the current directional leg, and the space between the rope and each band is filled with a true color gradient — strong color near the band, fading to transparent near the rope — so the current trend direction and its "room" are visible at a glance. When the rope's direction flips, a short transition window is highlighted with its own color and an optional cloud, so brief reversals or whipsaws are visually distinguished from an established trend.
Key Features
ATR-threshold "rope" smoother: the center line only moves once price has moved beyond (ATR length × ATR multiplier) from the line's current value, filtering out minor noise while still reacting to genuine directional moves.
Stepped upper/lower band that resets to the current high/low on a fresh directional leg and then expands to track the extremes of that leg, with the opposite band computed as rope ± the ATR threshold.
True gradient cloud fill between the rope and each band, with an adjustable steepness control for how quickly the color fades toward the rope line.
Distinct up / down / transition coloring on the rope line and the outer band lines, so the current trend direction is clear without reading numbers.
Optional transition-zone cloud that highlights the short window right after a directional flip, before the new trend is considered established.
Real-price calculation via request.security() keeps the indicator consistent regardless of chart type (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
How to Use
Treat the rope line's color and slope as the current trend direction; a color change (through the transition color) signals a potential shift in direction.
Use the stepped band as a dynamic support/resistance reference for the current leg — price re-testing the band without breaking the rope's direction can be read as a continuation, while a rope flip against the band suggests the leg may be ending.
Lower the "Gradient Steepness" input for a shorter, more intense color burst near the band edges, or raise it for a smoother gradient spread across the full band width.
Turn on "Show Transition Cloud" if you want the brief post-flip window visually flagged, which can help you avoid reacting to whipsaws immediately after a direction change.
Adjust "ATR Length" and "ATR Multiplier" together to control how sensitive the rope is: a smaller multiplier reacts faster but flips more often, while a larger multiplier is slower but more stable.
Notes
The gradient fill relies on Pine's built-in fill() gradient feature, which is supported across all account tiers (free and paid).
The transition window auto-clears after 5 bars if the rope has not resumed its prior direction, so it always reflects a short, recent window rather than an indefinitely "stuck" state. Indikator
HA Zero-Wick Screener (20 Symbols)Heikin Ashi terms:
Bullish setup: Previous HA candle is green (bullish) with no lower wick (HA_Open = HA_Low, i.e., a "clean" green candle), AND current HA candle is also green and closes above the previous candle's close.
Bearish setup: Previous HA candle is red (bearish) with no upper wick (HA_Open = HA_High, i.e., a "clean" red candle), AND current HA candle is also red and closes below the previous candle's close.
Before I write the Pine Script, let me check a couple of things with you.Q: For the 'no wick' condition, how strict should it be?
A: Exactly zero wick (HA_Open = HA_Low/High exactly)Q: What format do you want the final output in?
A: Pine Script strategy/indicator with a screener table (shows on chart)Q: Do you want this to scan a fixed watchlist of symbols you input, or work as an indicator applied per-chart (and you use TradingView's built-in Screener with 'Add indicator' filter)?
A: Fixed list of symbols typed into the script (table shows all at once)Show moreNow I'll build a Pine Script indicator that:
Lets you type in a list of symbols (editable in settings, plus an on-chart way to note which ones you're tracking)
Computes Heikin Ashi values for each symbol using request.security
Checks your exact bullish/bearish wick conditions
Displays everything in a clean table on the chart
A few technical notes before the code:
Exact zero wick on Heikin Ashi is rare on live/unclosed candles (HA smooths values), so I'll check it on the last closed bar to get true zero-wick detection, and I'll also add a tiny epsilon-safe comparison purely to avoid floating point rounding issues (not a "tolerance" for the pattern itself — this is standard practice for equality checks in Pine).
TradingView limits request.security calls — a table-based multi-symbol screener can safely hold around 40 symbols per script. I'll set it up so you can easily edit the list.
I'll show: Symbol, Last Close, Signal (Bullish/Bearish/None), and the candle color for context.
Let me write this now.Ran 2 commands, created a file, read a fileRan 2 commands, created a file, read a fileHow to use it:
Open TradingView → Pine Editor → paste the script → "Add to Chart."
Click the gear icon (settings) on the indicator → edit the Symbols field (comma-separated, e.g. NSE:RELIANCE,NSE:TCS,...) to add/remove tickers.
Choose your Timeframe (defaults to Daily) and toggle "Show only rows with a signal" to filter the table down to just Bullish/Bearish hits.
How the logic works:
Bullish: previous HA candle is green with HA_Open == HA_Low (zero lower wick) AND current HA candle is green AND current HA close > previous HA close.
Bearish: previous HA candle is red with HA_Open == HA_High (zero upper wick) AND current HA candle is red AND current HA close < previous HA close.
Table shows Symbol, Last Close, HA candle color, and Signal, color-coded (green row = bullish, red row = bearish).
Important limitations to know:
TradingView caps request.security calls per script at 40. The script above has 10 example symbols — you can extend up to 40 total before it'll throw an error. If you need more, you'd need multiple copies of the script or TradingView's actual Stock Screener with a custom Pine screener script (separate product from indicators, works differently).
Exact-zero-wick is a strict condition — on many stocks this will rarely trigger since HA candles usually have at least a tiny wick. If you find signals are too rare, you may want to loosen this later (I can add a small tolerance % as an input if needed).
This works as a chart overlay, not inside TradingView's native "Screener" UI panel — it's a table drawn on whatever chart you apply it to, showing all your symbols regardless of which chart is open. Indikator
Buy Sell Badge with ADX by ByblloBuy Sell Badge with ADX by Bybllo
This indicator generates Buy/Sell badges from a Fast/Slow EMA crossover (the "BSB" signal), then automatically manages an ATR-based stop loss and a risk:reward-based take profit for each signal, showing the resulting entry/stop/target levels directly on the chart along with a live status table.
On top of the EMA-based signal, an optional ADX strength filter can be enabled: when turned on, a badge is only shown if ADX is either at/above an upper threshold or at/below a lower threshold at the time of the signal — i.e. either a strongly trending market or a clearly non-trending one, whichever regime you choose to trade around. Position management (entry, stop loss, take profit, invalidation) always runs on the underlying EMA "BSB" signal regardless of the ADX filter; the filter only controls whether a badge and its risk-management lines are displayed.
Key Features
Fast/Slow EMA crossover generates the base Buy/Sell signal, with an optional candle-confirmation requirement (close beyond open in the signal direction).
Automatic ATR-based stop loss and configurable Risk:Reward take profit are calculated for every new signal, with intermediate take-profit levels plotted when Risk:Reward is greater than 1.
Optional "BSB + ADX" filter: a badge is only shown when ADX is at or above an upper threshold, OR at or below a lower threshold, at the time of the EMA signal — letting you badge-filter for either strong-trend conditions (ADX high) or quiet/ranging conditions (ADX low), while suppressing badges in the ambiguous middle zone.
On-chart entry / stop-loss / take-profit lines and an SL distance (in points) label, both toggleable and only shown while a badge has actually been displayed for the active position.
Take-profit, stop-loss, and "invalidated" (opposite signal fired before target/stop was hit) markers are plotted separately so you can see exactly how each trade idea played out.
A live status table (top-right) shows the current position, entry, stop loss, take profit, and realized Risk:Reward.
Real-price calculation via request.security() keeps signals consistent regardless of chart type (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
A full set of alertcondition() calls for Buy/Sell signals, take-profit hits, stop-loss hits, and invalidated entries.
How to Use
Leave "BSB + ADX" unchecked to use the EMA crossover badges on their own, with no ADX-based filtering.
Check "BSB + ADX" and set the upper/lower thresholds to only badge signals that occur when ADX confirms your preferred market regime — for example, a high upper threshold badges only strongly trending breakouts, while a low lower threshold badges only signals from quiet, low-ADX conditions.
Watch the on-chart entry/SL/TP lines and the status table to track an open idea's risk and progress in real time.
Set up alerts on the "Buy/Sell Signal", "Entry Signal", "Take Profit Hit", "Stop Loss Hit", or "Entry Invalidated" conditions depending on which events you want to be notified about.
Notes
Unlike a DMI golden-cross / dead-cross confirmation filter, this version filters purely on the ADX strength value itself (above an upper threshold or below a lower threshold), without checking DI+/DI- direction.
Stop-loss and alert-sensitivity offsets are point-based and will need adjusting per instrument (see the tooltips on those inputs).
This indicator does not place real orders; it is a visual / alerting tool for tracking a rules-based EMA (optionally ADX-filtered) trade idea. Indikator
DMI Badge by ByblloDMI Badge by Bybllo
This indicator plots simple Long/Short badges based purely on the Directional Movement Index (DMI): a Long badge appears on a golden cross (DI+ crossing above DI-) and a Short badge appears on a dead cross (DI- crossing above DI+), with both filtered by a minimum ADX threshold so only crosses backed by sufficient trend strength are marked. It is a lightweight, standalone way to see DMI golden-cross / dead-cross signals directly on the chart without having to watch the DI+ / DI- lines separately.
This script is also intended as a reference companion to "Buy Sell Badge with DMI by Bybllo": that indicator's optional "BSB + DMI" filter uses this exact same DMI golden-cross / dead-cross + ADX logic internally to confirm its EMA-based signals. Running this indicator alongside it lets you see the underlying DMI badges on their own, independent of the EMA signal, so you can verify or tune the DMI-side behavior (length, ADX threshold, badge spacing) before relying on the combined confirmation filter.
Key Features
Long badge on a DMI golden cross (DI+ crossing above DI-), Short badge on a DMI dead cross (DI- crossing above DI+).
ADX threshold filter: a badge is only shown when ADX is at or above your configured minimum, filtering out crosses that lack real directional strength.
Badge spacing (cooldown) input prevents duplicate badges from firing on consecutive bars after a signal.
Real-price calculation via request.security() keeps signals consistent regardless of chart type (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
alertcondition() calls for both Long and Short badges, ready to use for TradingView alerts.
How to Use
A Long badge below the bar means DI+ has just crossed above DI- with ADX at or above your threshold — a bullish directional shift with trend strength behind it.
A Short badge above the bar means DI- has just crossed above DI+ with ADX at or above your threshold — a bearish directional shift with trend strength behind it.
Raise the ADX threshold to show fewer, higher-conviction badges; lower it to see more crosses, including weaker ones.
Increase "Badge Spacing" if you want more separation between consecutive badges on choppy charts.
If you use "Buy Sell Badge with DMI by Bybllo" with its "BSB + DMI" filter enabled, keep the DMI Length, ADX Threshold, and Badge Spacing here aligned with that indicator's DMI settings so the two stay in sync.
Notes
This indicator only plots DMI-based signals; it does not include any EMA logic, stop-loss/take-profit management, or position tracking. For a combined EMA + DMI signal with risk management, see "Buy Sell Badge with DMI by Bybllo". Indikator
