Signaltonoiseratio — Indicators and Strategies

Adaptive ATR Keltner Channels [Loxx]Adaptive ATR Channels are adaptive Keltner channels. ATR is calculated using a rolling signal-to-noise ratio making this indicator flex more to changes in price volatility than the fixed Keltner Channels. What is Average True Range (ATR)? The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.1 The true range is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges. What are Keltner Channel (ATR)? Keltner Channels are volatility-based bands that are placed on either side of an asset's price and can aid in determining the direction of a trend. The Keltner channel uses the average-true range (ATR) or volatility, with breaks above or below the top and bottom barriers signaling a continuation.

[blackcat] L2 Ehlers Enhanced Signal to Noise Indicator Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced another Enhanced Signal to Noise Indicator in his "Rocket Science for Traders" chapter 8. Function blackcat L2 Ehlers Signal to Noise Indicator is used to measure Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). In this code, the period of the measured dominant cycle is calculated in exactly the same manner as we calculated it for the Primary SNR Indicator. Near the end of the code, after the dominant cycle is determined, Dr. Ehlers computes the SNR. The Quadrature component Q3 is calculated by multiplying the 2-bar momentum of the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) smoothing by the dominant cycle amplitude correction factor. Key Signal Smooth --> 4 bar WMA w/ 1 bar lag Detrender --> The amplitude response of a minimum-length HT can be improved by adjusting the filter coefficients by trial and error. HT does not allow DC component at zero frequency for transformation. So, Detrender is used to remove DC component/ trend component. Q1 --> Quadrature phase signal I1 --> In-phase signal Period --> Dominant Cycle in bars SNR --> Signal-to-Noise Ratio Pros and Cons 100% John F. Ehlers definition translation of original work, even variable names are the same. This help readers who would like to use pine to read his book. If you had read his works, then you will be quite familiar with my code style. Remarks The 6th script for Blackcat1402 John F. Ehlers Week publication. Readme In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts. The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works. Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element. Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level. Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated. Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop. Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.

[blackcat] L2 Ehlers Signal to Noise Indicator Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Signal to Noise Indicator in his "Rocket Science for Traders" chapter 8. Dr. Ehlers terms the case where half the average daily trading range is equal to the signal amplitude as our zero decibel Signal-to-Noise Ratio (0 dB SNR) condition. He wants the signal amplitude to be at least twice the noise amplitude (6dB SNR) so that there exists a reasonable chance to make a profit from the chart analysis. Function blackcat L2 Ehlers Signal to Noise Indicator is used to measure Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The SNR in decibels is calculated in a single line of code near the end. The signal power is divided by the noise power to get a power ratio. The logarithm of the power ratio. At 0 dB, the peak-to-peak noise signal is twice the amplitude of the signal. Therefore, when we compute the 0 dB case, the ratio is calculated to be 10*log(1/2)^2 = -6 dB. We must then add 6 dB back into the computation to remove this bias, establishing the definition of 0 dB SNR.
