Enigma Sniper 369The "Enigma Sniper 369" is a custom-built Pine Script indicator designed for TradingView, tailored specifically for forex traders seeking high-probability entries during high-volatility market sessions.
Unlike generic trend-following or scalping tools, this indicator uniquely combines session-based "kill zones" (London and US sessions), momentum-based candle analysis, and an optional EMA trend filter to pinpoint liquidity grabs and reversal opportunities.
Its originality lies in its focus on liquidity hunting—identifying levels where stop losses are likely clustered (around swing highs/lows and wick midpoints)—and providing visual entry zones that are dynamically removed once price breaches them, reducing clutter and focusing on actionable signals.
The name "369" reflects the structured approach of three key components (session timing, candle logic, and trend filter) working in harmony to snipe precise entries.
What It Does
"Enigma Sniper 369" identifies potential buy and sell opportunities by drawing two types of horizontal lines on the chart during user-defined London and US
session kill zones:
Solid Lines: Mark the swing low (for buys) or swing high (for sells) of a trigger candle, indicating a potential entry point where stop losses might be clustered.
Dotted Lines: Mark the 50% level of the candle’s wick (lower wick for buys, upper wick for sells), serving as a secondary confirmation zone for entries or tighter stop-loss placement.
These lines are plotted only when specific candle conditions are met within the kill zones, and they are automatically deleted once the price crosses them, signaling that the liquidity at that level has likely been grabbed. The indicator also includes an optional EMA filter to ensure trades align with the broader trend, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on a multi-layered approach:
Kill Zone Timing: Trades are only considered during user-defined London and US session hours (e.g., London from 02:00 to 12:00 UTC, as seen in the screenshots). These sessions are known for high volatility and liquidity, making them ideal for capturing institutional moves.
Candle-Based Momentum Logic:
Buy Signal: A candle must close above its midpoint (indicating bullish momentum) and have a lower low than the previous candle (suggesting a potential liquidity grab below the previous swing low). This is expressed as close > (high + low) / 2 and low < low .
Sell Signal: A candle must close below its midpoint (bearish momentum) and have a higher high than the previous candle (indicating a potential liquidity grab above the previous swing high), expressed as close < (high + low) / 2 and high > high .
These conditions ensure the indicator targets candles that break recent structure to hunt stop losses while showing directional momentum.
Optional EMA Filter: A 50-period EMA (customizable) can be enabled to filter signals based on trend direction.
Buy signals are only generated if the EMA is trending upward (ema_value > ema_value ), and sell signals require a downward EMA trend (ema_value < ema_value ). This reduces noise by aligning entries with the broader market trend.
Liquidity Levels and Deletion Logic:
For a buy signal, a solid green line is drawn at the candle’s low, and a dotted green line at the 50% level of the lower wick (from the candle body’s bottom to the low).
For a sell signal, a solid red line is drawn at the candle’s high, and a dotted red line at the 50% level of the upper wick (from the body’s top to the high).
These lines extend to the right until the price crosses them, at which point they are deleted, indicating the liquidity at that level has been taken (e.g., stop losses triggered).
Alerts: The indicator includes alert conditions for buy and sell signals, notifying traders when a new setup is identified.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is grounded in the concept of liquidity hunting, a strategy often employed by institutional traders. Markets frequently move to levels where stop losses are clustered—typically just beyond swing highs or lows—before reversing in the opposite direction. The "Enigma Sniper 369" targets these moves by identifying candles that break structure (e.g., a lower low or higher high) during high-volatility sessions, suggesting a potential sweep of stop losses. The 50% wick level acts as a secondary confirmation, as this midpoint often represents a zone where tighter stop losses are placed by retail traders. The optional EMA filter adds a trend-following element, ensuring entries are taken in the direction of the broader market momentum, which is particularly useful on lower timeframes like the 15-minute chart shown in the screenshots.
How to Use It
Here’s a step-by-step guide based on the provided usage example on the GBP/USD 15-minute chart:
Setup the Indicator: Add "Enigma Sniper 369" to your TradingView chart. Adjust the London and US session hours to match your timezone (e.g., London from 02:00 to 12:00 UTC, US from 13:00 to 22:00 UTC). Customize the EMA period (default 50) and line styles/colors if desired.
Identify Kill Zones: The indicator highlights the London session in light green and the US session in light purple, as seen in the screenshots. Focus on these periods for signals, as they are the most volatile and likely to produce liquidity grabs.
Wait for a Signal: Look for solid and dotted lines to appear during the kill zones:
Buy Setup: A solid green line at the swing low and a dotted green line at the 50% lower wick level indicate a potential buy. This suggests the market may have grabbed liquidity below the swing low and is now poised to move higher.
Sell Setup: A solid red line at the swing high and a dotted red line at the 50% upper wick level indicate a potential sell, suggesting liquidity was taken above the swing high.
Place Your Trade:
For a buy, set a buy limit order at the dotted green line (50% wick level), as this is a more conservative entry point. Place your stop loss just below the solid green line (swing low) to cover the full swing. For example, in the screenshots, the market retraces to the dotted line at 1.32980 after a liquidity grab below the swing low, triggering a buy limit order.
For a sell, set a sell limit order at the dotted red line, with a stop loss just above the solid red line.
Monitor Price Action: Once the price crosses a line, it is deleted, indicating the liquidity at that level has been taken. In the screenshots, after the buy limit is triggered, the market moves higher, confirming the setup. The caption notes, “The market returns and tags us in long with a buy limit,” highlighting this retracement strategy.
Additional Context: Use the indicator to identify liquidity levels that may be targeted later. For example, the screenshot notes, “If a new session is about to open I will wait for the grab liquidity to go long,” showing how the indicator can be used to anticipate future moves at session opens (e.g., London open at 1.32980).
Risk Management: Always set a stop loss below the swing low (for buys) or above the swing high (for sells) to protect against adverse moves. The 50% wick level helps tighten entries, improving the risk-reward ratio.
Practical Example
On the GBP/USD 15-minute chart, during the London session (02:00 UTC), the indicator identifies a buy setup with a solid green line at 1.32901 (swing low) and a dotted green line at 1.32980 (50% wick level). The market initially dips below the swing low, grabbing liquidity, then retraces to the dotted line, triggering a buy limit order. The price subsequently rises to 1.33404, yielding a profitable trade. The user notes, “The logic is in the last candle it provides new level to go long,” emphasizing the indicator’s ability to identify fresh levels after a liquidity sweep.
Customization Tips
Adjust the EMA period to suit your timeframe (e.g., a shorter period like 20 for faster signals on lower timeframes).
Modify the session hours to align with your broker’s timezone or specific market conditions.
Use the alert feature to get notified of new setups without constantly monitoring the chart.
Why It’s Useful for Traders
The "Enigma Sniper 369" stands out by combining session timing, momentum-based candle analysis, and liquidity hunting into a single tool. It provides clear, actionable levels for entries and stop losses, removes invalid signals dynamically, and aligns trades with high-probability market conditions. Whether you’re a scalper looking for quick moves during London open or a swing trader targeting session-based reversals, this indicator offers a structured, data-driven approach to trading.

RSI Confirm Trend with Williams (W%R)RSI Confirm Trend with Williams (W%R)
This is the "RSI Confirm Trend with Williams (W%R)" indicator
This is a modification of the "RSI Trends" indicator by zzzcrypto123.
What Is the Relative Strength Index (RSI)?
The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to evaluate overvalued or undervalued conditions in the price of that security.
What is Williams %R?
Williams %R, also known as the Williams Percent Range, is a type of momentum indicator that moves between 0 and -100 and measures overbought and oversold levels. The Williams %R may be used to find entry and exit points in the market. The indicator is very similar to the Stochastic oscillator and is used in the same way. It was developed by Larry Williams and it compares a stock’s closing price to the high-low range over a specific period, typically 14 days or periods.
How Does "RSI Confirm Trend with Williams (W%R)" work?
This indicator combines the momentum of both RSI and Williams %R by adding upper and lower thresholds. When the thresholds are broken, this indicator changes color from gray to either green or red.
What Are The Thresholds?
The default RSI thresholds are 55 and 45. These values are configurable.
The default Williams %R thresholds are 80 and 20. These values are configurable and made positive so it can be plotted against the RSI line.
How To Use?
When the RSI exceeded the upper/lower thresholds, the RSI line color will change from gray to lighter green/red color.
When the Williams %R exceeded the upper/lower thresholds, the RSI color will change to darker green/red color signifying a strong momentum in that direction.
When the RSI color is gray, this means the RSI and Williams %R thresholds are not broken which can also signify as no trend or consolidation.
The Williams %R line is not displayed by default but can be enabled using the checkbox provided in the Style tab.
This "RSI Confirm Trend with Williams (W%R)" indicator can be combined with other technical indicators to verify the idea behind this theory.

This indicator captures:
• tick volume
• tick direction
The settings are as follows:
• volume or base currency value selection.
• label distance (away from the low of the candle).
• Tick volume - on/off switch for tick volume.
• label size.
• Up tick move color.
• tick move absorbed - when the tick doesn't change position.
• Down tick move.
On the first initial load, it will have the existing volume data as "?" as tradingview doesn't have a history of each tick.
Be aware, any settings change you make will refresh the tick data from start.
This indicator is one of the best real-time ways of seeing buying and selling pressure.
MA Slope [EMA Magic]█ Overview:
The MA Slope calculates the slope based on a given moving average.
The Moving Average Slope indicator allows you to identify the direction and the strength of a trend.
It calculates the rate of change in percentage based on the user-defined moving average.
█ Calculation: This indicator calculates the slope based on the changes of moving average and normalizes it with Average True Range(ATR).
The default value of ATR is 7.I recommend not changing it unless you know exactly what are you doing.
█ Input Settings:
The settings are divided into three sections:
The first section is for time frame adjustments. Modify it separately from the chart, Allows you to use moving averages from different time frames.
In the second section, you can configure the base calculation,including Moving Average and Average True Range(ATR) settings.
In the third section, you can detect breakout and sudden change signals, which are highlighted in the background of the indicator.
Note that When you change the breakout limit value, it also affects the band limit indicator on your chart.
To avoid signal confusion, use only one at a time.
Here is the example the breakout signals:
█ Usage:
When the slope is increasing, it indicates an uptrend.
When the slope is decreasing, it indicates a downtrend.
When the slope is moving around zero and choppy, it indicates no specific trend or price is in a range zone.
Uptrend and Range Zone example:
Downtrend example:
Slope peaks on extreme levels can signal a potential trend reversal point.
Breakout of the upper or lower bands can be translated into a trading signal.Indicating that price will probably continue to move in the direction of the breakout.
Favor long setups when the slope is increasing or it is positive and favor short setups when the slope is decreasing or it is negative.
Fits with any moving average you use, e.g., EMA, WMA, MA Ribbon, and more.
█ Alert
Alerts are available for both signal conditions.

SizeblockPrice change indicator in the form of diagonal rows.
The calculation is based on the percentage or tick deviation of the price movement (indicated in the "Deviation" parameter), which is displayed on the chart in the form of rows.
The row consists of the base middle line, upper and lower limits:
The middle line is the basis for the upper and lower limits of the current row.
The upper and lower limits are deviations from the base middle line of the current row.
The base middle line is equal to the upper or lower limits of the previous row (if the price changes rapidly in one time interval, then the base middle line of the current row is greater than the upper limit of the previous row or less than the lower limit of the previous row by an equal number of deviations depending on the direction of price movement). At the beginning of the calculation, the base middle line is equal to the initial value of the first row.
The "Quantity" parameter determines the deviation for the upper or lower limits depending on the direction of the price movement, and the "U-turn" parameter determines the deviation for changing the direction of the price movement.
The rule for constructing a new row:
The "Source" parameter accepts, depending on the choice, the price of high, low values or the closing price from the time interval of the chart.
When the price reaches the upper or lower limits of the row and goes beyond them, a new row is formed with the same parameters for deviation of the upper and lower limits from the base middle line, depending on the direction of price movement.
By adjusting certain deviations, you can clearly see the local trend and reversal points on the chart.
A useful tool for tracking price direction.

Trend crossierHello there!
I would like to share my script.
This is S/R levels indicator based on custom range for each step used for computing minimum/maximum of the range.
For example - we predefined step with 50 candles as one, after we have got the minimum and maximum of it - we come to the next 50 candles and do the same to it.
Finaly - we have got 20 lines for 10 steps.
After that - we set the ( SMA * mult) to have step between lines and if N of lines in range of step from eachother(if a+step > b and b+step > c ...) we call it a strong level.
It is not my idea(but my code), so I do not claim the uniqueness of this idea (the customer asked me to code it, but I also read about this method in open sources before).
The second thing - vectors of current trend direction on different timeframes.
For this task I took the same ranges, but ema () of each range. After first step it has an array with N values.
The next thing it does is take out "chain" one by one on each iteration. How does it do that? We take new AVG with neighbor values.
If we have 10 length at start - after iteration it becomes 9. So it repeats computing till length is 2.
After we have 2 points left - we can plot the line using indexes.
This way we can see the trend direction on different timeframes.
Feel free to use, change, put into another scripts. You can even never use it!
The right to publish this particular code was issued by the customer.
Have fun!

## What are vector candles?
Vector Candles (inspired to add from TradersReality/MT4) are candles that are colour coded to indicate higher volumes, and likely flip points / direction changes, or confirmations.
These are based off of PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support, Resistance Analysis).
You can also override the currency that this runs off of, including multiple ones - however adding more may slow things down.
PVSRA - From MT4 source:
Situation "Climax"
Bars with volume >= 200% of the average volume of the 10 previous chart TFs, and bars
where the product of candle spread x candle volume is >= the highest for the 10 previous
chart time TFs.
Default Colours: Bull bars are green and bear bars are red.
Situation "Volume Rising Above Average"
Bars with volume >= 150% of the average volume of the 10 previous chart TFs.
Default Colours: Bull bars are blue and bear are blue-violet.
A blue or purple bar can mean the chart has reached a top or bottom.
High volume bars during a movement can indicate a big movement is coming - or a top/bottom if bulls/bears are unable to break that point - or the volume direction has flipped.
This can also just be a healthy short term movement in the opposite direction - but at times sets obvious trend shifts.
## Volume Tracking
You can shift-click any candle to get the volume of that candle (in the pair token/stock), if you click and drag - you will see the volume for that range.
## Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands can be enabled in the settings via the toggle.
Bollinger Bands are designed to discover opportunities that give investors a higher probability of properly identifying when an asset is oversold (bottom lines) or overbought (top lines).
>There are three lines that compose Bollinger Bands: A simple moving average (middle band) and an upper and lower band.
>The upper and lower bands are typically 2 standard deviations +/- from a 20-day simple moving average, but they can be modified.

Base Indicator
## What is ATR?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, which measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following:
- current high - the current low;
- the absolute value of the current high - the previous close;
- and the absolute value of the current low - the previous close.
The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 10/14 days, of the true ranges.
## What does this indicator do?
Uses the ATR and multipliers to help you predict price volatility, ranges and trend direction.
> The buy and sell signals are generated when the indicator starts
plotting either on top of the closing price or below the closing price. A buy signal is generated when the ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price and a sell signal is generated when it closes below the closing price.
> It also suggests that the trend is shifting from descending mode to ascending mode. Contrary to this, when a ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price, it generates a sell signal as the colour of the indicator changes into red.
> A ‘Supertrend’ indicator can be used on equities, futures or forex, or even crypto markets and also on daily, weekly and hourly charts as well, but generally, it will be less effective in a sideways-moving market.
Thanks to KivancOzbilgic who made the original SuperTrend Indicator this was based off

## Usage Notes
Two indicators will appear, the default ATR multipliers are already set for what I believe to be perfect for this particular (double indicator) strategy.
If you want to break it yourself (I couldn't find anything that tested more accurately myself), you can do so in the settings once you have added the indicator.
Basic rundown:
- A single Buy/Sell indicator in the dim colour; may be setting a direction change, or just healthy movement.
- When the brighter Buy/Sell indicator appears; it often means that a change in direction (uptrend or downtrend) is confirmed.
---
You can see here, there was a (brighter) green indicator which flipped down then up into a (brighter) red sell indicator which set the downtrend. At the end it looks like it may be starting to break the downtrend - as the price is hitting the trend line. (Would watch for whether it holds above or drops below at that point)
Another example, showing how sometimes it can still be correct but take some time to play out - with some arrow indicators.
Typically I would also look at oscillators, RSI and other things to confirm - but here it held above the trend lines nicely, so it appeared to be rather obvious.
It's worth paying attention to the trend lines and where the candles are sitting.
Once you understand/get a feel for the basics of how it works - it can become a very useful tool in your trading arsenal.
Also works for traditional markets & commodities etc in the same way / using the same ATR multipliers, however of course crypto generally has bigger moves.
---
You can use this and other indicators to confirm likeliness of a direction change prior to the brighter/confirmation one appearing - but just going by the 2nd(brighter) indicators, I have found it to be surprisingly accurate.
Tends to work well on virtually all timeframes, but personally prefer to use it on 5min,15min,1hr, 4hr, daily, weekly. Will still work for shorter/other timeframes, but may be more accurate on mid ones.
---
This will likely be updated as I go / find useful additions that don't convolute things. The base indicator may be updated with some limited / toggle-able features in future also.

Jurik DMX Histogram [Loxx]Jurik DMX Histogram is the ultra-smooth, low lag version of your classic DMI indicator.
What is the directional movement index?
The directional movement index (DMI) is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 that identifies in which direction the price of an asset is moving. The indicator does this by comparing prior highs and lows and drawing two lines: a positive directional movement line (+DI) and a negative directional movement line (-DI). An optional third line, called the average directional index (ADX), can also be used to gauge the strength of the uptrend or downtrend.
When +DI is above -DI, there is more upward pressure than downward pressure in the price. Conversely, if -DI is above +DI, then there is more downward pressure on the price. This indicator may help traders assess the trend direction. Crossovers between the lines are also sometimes used as trade signals to buy or sell.
What is Jurik Volty used in the Juirk Filter?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.
What is the Jurik Moving Average?
Have you noticed how moving averages add some lag (delay) to your signals? ... especially when price gaps up or down in a big move, and you are waiting for your moving average to catch up? Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines.
Ideally, you would like a filtered signal to be both smooth and lag-free. Lag causes delays in your trades, and increasing lag in your indicators typically result in lower profits. In other words, late comers get what's left on the table after the feast has already begun.
What is an adaptive cycle, and what is Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 135:
"Adaptive filters can have several different meanings. For example, Perry Kaufman’s adaptive moving average ( KAMA ) and Tushar Chande’s variable index dynamic average ( VIDYA ) adapt to changes in volatility . By definition, these filters are reactive to price changes, and therefore they close the barn door after the horse is gone.The adaptive filters discussed in this chapter are the familiar Stochastic , relative strength index ( RSI ), commodity channel index ( CCI ), and band-pass filter.The key parameter in each case is the look-back period used to calculate the indicator. This look-back period is commonly a fixed value. However, since the measured cycle period is changing, it makes sense to adapt these indicators to the measured cycle period. When tradable market cycles are observed, they tend to persist for a short while.Therefore, by tuning the indicators to the measure cycle period they are optimized for current conditions and can even have predictive characteristics.
The dominant cycle period is measured using the Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm. That dominant cycle dynamically sets the look-back period for the indicators. I employ my own streamlined computation for the indicators that provide smoother and easier to interpret outputs than traditional methods. Further, the indicator codes have been modified to remove the effects of spectral dilation.This basically creates a whole new set of indicators for your trading arsenal."

Market Bias (CEREBR)Hello Everyone. I hope you are all doing great. It's been a long time since I posted my first script here, and I got a lot of response from that.
So, I thought I should share this script also to everyone, and anyone that may find it useful. Personally, I use it to tell the general market conditions.
Here's how I works : The script tries to determine the overall direction of the market, using smoothed Heiken Ashi candles. The coloring system (using bright and dark colors) is an attempt to detect strong market and weak market conditions. There's also an oscillator within the script, but for now it isn't plotted. Credits to @jackvmk, I used part of his open-script code in this indicator.\
I have considered using the slope of the indicator plot as a filter for ranging market conditions. The plot goes relatively flat in 'flat' markets. However, I have not done anything about that yet. Maybe some other time.
I hope you find this useful. If you find a way to use this, please share it with the community in the comment section.
NOTE: THIS IS BY NO MEANS FINANCIAL ADVICE. You'll have to make your studies and come up with a way to apply this indicator to your trading style and strategy.
By the way, I would be going with the name 'CEREBR' for any subsequent scripts I release from now on.
Happy Trading, guys.
Natural Directional Combo [CC]The Natural Directional Combo was created by Jim Sloman as part of his Ocean theory series and I believe this is his final unique formula that I'm publishing to make them all open source. If you know of any others then please send me a message. He passed away at a young age and I want to make sure his legacy lives on. Big thanks to @altcoinz and @tmac87 for giving me his full source code and materials in order to publish everything. So like my Natural Market Combo script, this essentially take his Natural Stochastic Indicator and his Natural Directional Index to create his own average of both indicators. Like the market combo indicator, I created a fix to address the errors in his original script and included both strong and normal buy and sell signals. Strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Natural Directional Index [CC]The Natural Directional Index was created by Jim Sloman and this is another indicator that I'm publishing from the collection of Ocean indicators. I want to make sure his legacy is covered by as many eyes as possible. This is his version of the directional index indicator but he uses his weighting method to use the square root of time and you can see that the signals are very smooth. Big thanks of course to @altcoinz and @tmac87 for helping me get the full source code and files for all of his work. This indicator captures the current trend and I have used my strong buy and sell signals to let you know the strength of the current trend. Darker colors are for strong signals and lighter colors are for normal ones. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
Volatility OscillatorThis tool displays relative volatility and directional trend. Excellent way to pickup diversions and reversals. Length can be lowered to 11 or 13 in settings to show price range.
Can be used to identify patterns such as parallel channels and likely direction of price action as pictured below.
Trend Type Indicator by BobRivera990Usage:
The purpose of this indicator is to programmatically determine the type of price trend using technical analysis tools.
You can do a quick check on the asset’s higher and lower time frames. For example, if you are trading on an H1 chart, you can check the m5 chart to ensure that the trend is in the same direction and similarly check the H4 chart to ensure that the higher time frame price is also moving in the same direction.
If multiple time frame charts confirm a similar trend, then it is considered a very strong trend and ideal for Trend trading.
Remarks:
By default, the last status is related to 8 periods before the latest closing price.
Related definitions:
The three basic types of trends are up, down, and sideways.
1. Uptrend
An uptrend describes the price movement of a financial asset when the overall direction is upward. The uptrend is composed of higher swing lows and higher swing highs.
Some market participants ("long" trend traders) only choose to trade during uptrends.
2. Downtrend
A downtrend refers to the price action of a security that moves lower in price as it fluctuates over time.
The downtrend is composed of lower swing lows and lower swing highs.
3. Sideways
A sideways trend is the horizontal price movement that occurs when the forces of supply and demand are nearly equal. This typically occurs during a period of consolidation before the price continues a prior trend or reverses into a new trend.
How it works:
Step 1: Sideways Trend Detection
In this step we want to distinguish the sideways trend from uptrend and downtrend. For this purpose, we use two common technical analysis tools: ATR and ADX
1. Average True Range (ATR)
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility.
We also use a 20-period moving average of the ATR.
When the ATR is below the average of its last 20-periods, it means that the rate of price volatility has decreased and we conclude that the current trend is sideways
2. Average Directional Index (ADX)
The average directional index (ADX) is a technical analysis indicator used by some traders to determine the strength of a trend.
The trend has strength when ADX is above 25.
So when the ADX is less than or equal to 25, there is no strong trend, and we conclude that the current type of trend is sideways.
Step 2: Detect uptrend from downtrend
If it turns out that the current price trend is not sideways, then it is either uptrend or downtrend.
For this purpose, we use plus and minus directional Indicators (+ DI & -DI).
A general interpretation would be that during a strong trend, when +DI is higher than -DI, it is an uptrend. When -DI is higher than +DI, it is a downtrend.

"ATR MA Length" ____________________// length of the moving average of the ATR used to detect Sideways Movements
"Use ADX ..."_______________________ // Use Average Directional Index (ADX) to detect Sideways Movements
"ADX Smoothing”____________________// length of the Average Directional Index (ADX) used to detect Sideways Movements
"DI Length"_________________________// length of the Plus and Minus Directional Indicators (+DI & -DI) used to determine the direction of the trend
"ADX Limit" ________________________// A level of ADX used as the boundary between Trend Market and Sideways Market
"Smoothing Factor"__________________// Factor used for smoothing the oscillator
"Lag"______________________________// lag used to match indicator and chart

FAJ Dogepack Combines EMA + RSI indicator
Dieses Script ist eine einfache Kombination aus RSI und EMA.
Es erlaubt euch zu erkennen in welche Richtung der Trend in dem aktuellen
TimeFrame geht und wie stark dieser aktuell ist.
Außerdem zeigt es euch ob gerade eher die Bullen oder die Bären den Markt
dominieren. Mit Hilfe des Indikators lassen sich Top und Bottom des aktuellen
Time Frames erkennen.
Ich Empfehle nur eine Nutzung bei BTC um Wellen besser zu erkennen.
Erinnert euch daran, das ist nur eine Beta und gibt immer noch viele Fehlsignale aus, also testet es für euch selber in verschiedenen TimeFrames.
This script is a simple combination of RSI and EMA.
It allows you to see in which direction the trend is going in the current
time frame and how strong it is currently. It also shows you whether the
bulls or the bears are dominating the market. With the help of the indicator,
the top and bottom of the current time frame can be recognized.
recommended only use in BTC to better detect waves.
remember that it is in beta and still sends many false signals so you have to test it well in several time periods.

Linear Regression Slope HistogramThis is the slope of linear regression plotted as a histogram. It has a threshold for the slope in case there is a minimum slope amount that the user wants for it to show green or red. The color shows a dim and bright effect depending on the direction of the slope to better show its rise and fall. You can set the length of the slope in the input setting screen.
Some interesting things about linear regression slope that I found out: It kind of looks like the histogram of ADX or the directional movement lines depending on the length used for the slope. According to Tushar Chande, linear regression can be used as an alternative of finding trend direction, although it is hard to say what length to use for it, I haven't been able to figure out a good way to apply it yet. According to Bulkowski, linear regression of the volume can be used with certain chart patterns that he listed to increase their chance of success by taking trades where the linear regression line points towards, so if you use volume as a source on this indicator you can take trades in whatever said direction. Got any other ideas on how to use linear regression? Feel free to let me knows, would gladly appreciate it.
Momentum Acceleration by DGTItalian physicist Galileo Galilei is usually credited with being the first to measure speed by considering the distance covered and the time it takes. Galileo defined speed as the distance covered during a period of time. In equation form, that is v = Δd / Δt where v is speed, Δd is change in distance, and Δt is change in time. The Greek symbol for delta, a triangle (Δ), means change.
Is the speed getting faster or slower?
Acceleration will be the answer, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of speed over a set period of time, meaning something is getting faster or slower. Mathematically expressed, acceleration denoted as a is a = Δv / Δt , where Δv is the change in speed and Δt is the change in time.
How to apply in trading
Lets think about Momentum, Rate of Return, Rate of Change all are calculated in almost same approach with Speed
Momentum measures change in price over a specified time period,
Rate of Change measures percent change in price over a specified time period,
Rate of Return measures the net gain or loss over a specified time period,
And Speed measures change in distance over a specified time period
So we may state that measuring the change in distance is also measuring the change in price over a specified time period which is length, hence
speed can be calculated as (source – source )/length and acceleration becomes (speed – speed )/length
In this study acceleration is used as signal line and result plotted as arrows demonstrating bull or bear direction where direction changes can be considered as trading setups
Just a little fun, since we deal with speed the short name of the study is named after famous cartoon character Speedy Gonzales
