Standard-deviation

ZVOL — Z-Score Volume Heatmapⓩ ZVOL transforms raw volume into a statistically calibrated heatmap using Z-score thresholds. Unlike classic volume indicators that rely on fixed MA comparisons, ZVOL calculates how many standard deviations each volume bar deviates from its mean. This makes the reading adaptive across timeframes and assets, in order to distinguish meaningful crowd behavior from random volatility. 📊 The core display is a five-zone histogram, each encoded by color and statistical depth. Optional background shading mirrors these zones across the entire pane, revealing subtle compression or structural rhythm shifts across time. By grounding the volume reading in volatility-adjusted context, ZVOL inhibits impulsive trading tactics by compelling the structure, not the sentiment, to dictate the signal. 🥵  Heatmap Coloration: 🌚 Suppressed volume —  congestion, coiling phases 🩱 Stable flow —  early trend or resting volume 🏀 High activity —  emerging pressure 💔 Extreme —  possible climax or institutional print 🎗️ A dynamic Fibonacci-based 21:34-period EMA ribbon overlays the histogram. The fill area inverts color on crossover, providing a real-time read on tempo, expansion, or divergence between price structure and crowd effort. 💡  LTF Usage Suggestions: • Confirm breakout legs when orange or red zones align with range exits • Fade overextended moves when red bars appear into resistance • Watch for rising EMAs and orange volume to front-run impulsive moves • Combine with volatility suppression (e.g. ATR) to catch compression → expansion transitions 🥂  Ideal Pairings: • OBVX Conviction Bias —  to confirm directional intent behind volume shifts • SUPeR TReND 2.718 —  for directional filters • ATR Turbulence Ribbon —  to detect compression phases 👥 The OBVX Conviction Bias adds a second dimension to ZVOL by revealing whether crowd effort is aligning with price direction or diverging beneath the surface. While ZVOL identifies statistical anomalies in raw volume, OBVX tracks directional commitment using cumulative volume and moving average cross logic. Use them together to spot fake-outs, anticipate structure-confirmed breakouts, or time pullbacks with volume-based conviction. 🔬 ZVOL isn’t just a volume filter — it’s a structural lens. It reveals when crowd effort is meaningful, when it's fading, and when something is about to shift. Designed for structure-aware traders who care about context, not noise.

Weighted Standard Deviation BandsLinearly weighted standard deviations over linearly weighted mean. The rationale of the study can be deduced from my latest publications where I go deeper into explaining the benefits of linear weighting, but in short, I can remind that by using linear weighting we are able to increase the information gain by communicating the sequential nature of time series to the calculations via linear weighting. Note, that multiplier parameters can take both negative and positive values resulting in ability to have, for example, 1st and 6th weighted standard deviations higher than the weighted mean. Despite the modification of the classic standard deviation formula, I assume that mathematical qualities of standard deviation will hold due to the fact we can alternately weight the window itself, and then apply the classic standard deviation over the weighted window. In both cases, the results will be the same. Aight that was too formal, but your short strangles should be happy Here is it, for you

[cache_that_pass] 1m 15m Function - Weighted Standard DeviationTradingview Community, As I progress through my journey, I have come to the realization that it is time to give back. This script isn't a life changer, but it has the building blocks for a motivated individual to optimize the parameters and have a production script ready to go. Credit for the indicator is due to @rumpypumpydumpy I adapted this indicator to a strategy for crypto markets. 15 minute time frame has worked best for me. It is a standard deviation script that has 3 important user configured parameters. These 3 things are what the end user should tweak for optimum returns. They are.... 1) Lookback Length - I have had luck with it set to 20, but any value from 1-1000 it will accept. 2) stopPer - Stop Loss percentage of each trade 3) takePer - Take Profit percentage of each trade 2 and 3 above are where you will see significant changes in returns by altering them and trying different percentages. An experienced pinescript programmer can take this and build on it even more. If you do, I ask that you please share the script with the community in an open-source fashion. It also already accounts for the commission percentage of 0.075% that Binance.US uses for people who pay fees with BNB. How it works... It calculates a weighted standard deviation of the price for the lookback period set (so 20 candles is default). It recalculates each time a new candle is printed. It trades when price lows crossunder the bottom of that deviation channel, and sells when price highs crossover the top of that deviation channel. It works best in mid to long term sideways channels / Wyckoff accumulation periods.

Volume TrendsThis script provides clear volume trends on any time frame. You set a long term volume trend moving average (ex 100 periods). A shorter term MA of your choice (10 in this example) will oscillate above and below based on the standard deviations of its current value relative to the long term #. Similarly, large volume bars are plotted in terms of st dev above the long term MA. Very useful in spotting capitulation bottoms and/or blow-off tops.

Tradingview ToolkitA new trader's biggest barrier to entry is lack of understanding where they are in terms of time and price and with tradingview free they are often limited to just 1 or 2 extra indicators as many new traders slap on RSI and MACD as 2/3 free ones. While these indicators are fine for trend analysis, its important to know where the price is in relation to time. Thus, this all-in-one script is meant to have a lot of customizable utility to save on indicator spots and act as a hotspot for many common needs. -2 Sets of VWAP line w/ standard deviation bands with customizable timeframes. -1 more customizable timeframe VWAP line (no std dev bands) to use as a long time frame reference -Ability to plot previous VWAP close prices over current timeframe on all VWAP lines w/ basic color changing if price closes above/below -2 Sets of Bollinger Bands with customizable source length and MA type -3 customizable moving averages with custom timeframe/resolutions -Inside candle barcolor repainter to easily notice if a candle was inside the range of the previous candle (price contraction) Not meant to have everything on at once, but simply a place to enable and disable different things and save spots for more important things

Risk Position Sizing tool using Coefficient of VariationA way to manage portfolio risk using relative standard deviation, also known as coefficient of variation. This tool tells you how much of each stock in shares and in value to buy adjusted for their volatility risk for a given starting account capital. A problem many people have is how to diversify an account and adjusting it for the risk involved in each equity. Many would put in an equal amount of capital value into each share but is it really equal if some equities have more risk than others? A solution is to adjust the portfolio by giving less weight to those that are more volatile or risky. It's done by using a starting percent of the account, preferably a small percent of it, and buying up shares with that same amount for each equity. Each equity will also be divided by the COV to risk adjust the portfolio by giving less weight to the more volatile stocks. This is done until as much of the initial capital in the account as possible is spent. COV is how far away the price is from the mean or average. The further the price is from the mean the more risk or volatility there is. It uses standard deviation in its calculation. The problem with SD and ATR is that they are not relative to the past or to other equities to compare to. An application where COV can be used is risk portfolio management formulas. This does not take into account correlation or other equation parts in some portfolio management formulas but only the risk or volatility, the default volatility length is mostly arbitrary, and the lower risk stocks may end up being the slowest in performance. The text label will show how many shares will be bought and how much value each equity will have. At the end it will show the initial capital that was started off with, the total shares bought, the total value of all the shares, and the amount of capital left over. If the sources are not blank then they will be used, to blank them you will need to reset the settings to default otherwise they might still be read. If you want to add more than the given 10 equity spaces to the portfolio then you will need to add in the code manually and add it to the chart. The denominator is perhaps the important part in these types of risk position sizing tools, you can change to other things such as risk-reward ratio instead of volatility or change the volatility type, etc.

VAMA Volume Adjusted Moving Average BandsThis indicator is standard deviation bands using a live analysis adaptation of Richard Arms' ‎Volume Adjusted Moving Average as their basis. ‎VAMA utilizes a period length that is based on ‎volume increments rather than time. • SampleN - N ‎volume bars used as sample to calculate average ‎volume , 0 equals all bars. • VAMA Source - Price used for ‎volume weighted calculations. • VAMA Length - Specified number of ‎volume ratio buckets to be reached. • VAMA VI Fct - Size of ‎volume ratio buckets. • VAMA Strict - Must meet desired ‎volume requirements, even if number of bars has to exceed ‎VAMA Length to do it. • STDV Factor - Standard Deviation multiplier. • STDV Length - Standard Deviation period. • Brightness - Color opaqueness for the band fills. Please see previous published example here for more details on VAMA's usage and inability to redraw the past on time based charts. NOTICE: This is an example script and not meant to be used as an actual strategy. By using this script or any portion thereof, you acknowledge that you have read and understood that this is for research purposes only and I am not responsible for any financial losses you may incur by using this script!

Standard Deviation Measurement ToolIf you like the script please come back and leave me a comment or find me on the interwebs. I get notified you "liked" it... but I have no idea if you actually use it. So, let me know =) The script uses the open price as the mean and calculates the standard deviation from the open price on a per candle basis - Goal: - To establish a mean based on the Open Price and calculate the standard deviation. The reason for this is if the Open is the mean, then the Standard deviation implies a standardized distance a given candle can be expected to travel from the open price - Edge: - If you know that there is a 68%/95%/99.7% probability that price will NOT move more than One Standard Deviation/Two Standard Deviations/Three Standard Deviations from the open price respectively you can set reasonable price targets that relate to those probabilities in a given timeframe. e.g. if you're on a 1h chart and your target is 3.5% from the open price, but 1 standard deviation of the hourly candle is equal to 0.78%. You can make assumptions on either: - The reasonableness of your target or - The holding period likely required for the trade. Also, Standard Deviation is a function of volatility and this tool provides a unique mechanism for measuring volatility as well on a candle by candle basis - Customization Options- - Set 3 independent upper and lower standard deviations. - Each set of standard deviations are on a switch so you can show 1, 2, or 3 sets of standard deviations - You can set the distribution width - Though it's not recommended, you can change the mean source. - There is a switch to show the standard deviation on only the real-time bar or real-time and historical bars. - How I Think About This Script - This strategy is predicated the same principle as Bollinger Bands: the reality that 68% of all data points will fall within one standard deviation of the mean, 96% of all data points will fall within two standard deviations, and 98% of al data points will fall within 3 standard deviations. By understanding the standard deviation, you can possibly infer an edge by understanding the probabilistic range price will be bound to the limits of standard deviation rules according to their probabilistic outcomes for the single candle on any given timeframe. Bollinger Bands are designed to provide this information with the mean being a 20-period moving average and this indicator. This indicator is designed to provide standard deviation information with the mean being based on the distance price travels away from the open of individual candles in the lookback period. If you use a strategy where you enter on major candle closes, this can be useful to set targets for those entries based on the intended hold period or at least add/remove validity to other target metrics. Example: Your target is at the 1.618 Fibonacci level and your confirmation triggers on the 4h candle close (H4 if that's your thing lol). You set up the indicator based on the standard deviation of price movement in 4h candles over the last week. Let's say the indicator shows that the 1.618 Fibonacci level is 3 standard deviations away. This being the case this statistically indicates that within the next 4 hours, you have a very low probability of achieving your target (>2%). This doesn't invalidate your target, but it does indicate a low probability of achieving it in the next 4hrs. With this information, you can infer that you are either going to be (a) really lucky (b) in this trade for a lot longer than 4hrs or (c) your target is unrealistic given your intended hold period. You can develop a more probabilistically favorable hold period calculation by looking at the standard deviation on a higher time frame (e.g. 1d-1w). Bonus feature: You'll find that the 2 and 3 standard deviations will often "cluster" and these clusters often provide future S/R levels. That's a pretty sweet feature no one things to look for. But, try it. Find a cluster of 2nd and 3rd stdevs that are in somewhat of a horizontal pattern (usually the result of a range) and you'll find that to be a good s/r area. Even better if you use the 3.2 standard deviation, you'll find that is a fantastic breakout signal! Summary So, you can use it for target setting, a confluence test, a reasonableness test, or just a measurement tool. This was the first TV script I ever wrong.. Got taken down. But, I've re-released it because there are other TV scripts that attempt to do this but are completely wrong. Please be careful about using other people's scripts. Always validate the math of the script before you use it if possible. Stay safe out there and I hope all your dreams come true.
