STEP — Indicators and Strategies

Step Channel Momentum Trend [ChartPrime]OVERVIEW Step Channel Momentum Trend is a momentum-based price filtering system that adapts to market structure using pivot levels and ATR volatility. It builds a dynamic channel around a stepwise midline derived from swing highs and lows. The system colors price candles based on whether price remains inside this channel (low momentum) or breaks out (strong directional flow). This allows traders to clearly distinguish ranging conditions from trending ones and take action accordingly. ⯁ STRUCTURAL MIDLNE (STEP CHANNEL CORE) The midline acts as the backbone of the trend system and is based on structure rather than smoothing. Calculated as the average of the most recent confirmed Pivot High and Pivot Low. The result is a step-like horizontal line that only updates when new pivot points are confirmed. This design avoids lag and makes the line "snap" to recent structural shifts. It reflects the equilibrium level between recent bullish and bearish control. This unique step logic creates clear regime shifts and prevents noise from distorting trend interpretation. ⯁ DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BANDS (ATR FILTERING) To detect momentum strength, the script constructs upper and lower bands using the ATR (Average True Range): The distance from the midline is determined by ATR × multiplier (default: 200-period ATR × 0.6). These bands adjust dynamically to volatility, expanding in high-ATR environments and contracting in calm markets. The area between upper and lower bands represents a neutral or ranging market state. Breakouts outside the bands are treated as significant momentum shifts. This filtering approach ensures that only meaningful breakouts are visually emphasized — not every candle fluctuation. ⯁ MOMENTUM-BASED CANDLE COLORING The system visually transforms price candles into momentum indicators: When price (hl2) is above the upper band, candles are green → bullish momentum. When price is below the lower band, candles are red → bearish momentum. When price is between the bands, candles are orange → low or no momentum (range). The candle body, wick, and border are all colored uniformly for visual clarity. This gives traders instant feedback on when momentum is expanding or fading — ideal for breakout, pullback, or trend-following strategies. ⯁ PIVOT-BASED SWING ANCHORS Each confirmed pivot is plotted as a label ⬥ directly on the chart: They also serve as potential manual entry zones, SL/TP anchors, or confirmation points. ⯁ MOMENTUM STATE LABEL To reinforce the current market mode, a live label is displayed at the most recent candle: Displays either: “ Momentum Up ” when price breaks above the upper band. “ Momentum Down ” when price breaks below the lower band. “ Range ” when price remains between the bands. Label color matches the candle color for quick identification. Automatically updates on each bar close. This helps discretionary traders filter trades based on market phase. USAGE Use the green/red zones to enter with momentum and ride trending moves. Use the orange zone to stay out or fade ranges. The step midline can act as a breakout base, pullback anchor, or bias reference. Combine with other indicators (e.g., order blocks, divergences, or volume) to build high-confluence systems. CONCLUSION Step Channel Momentum Trend gives traders a clean, adaptive framework for identifying trend direction, volatility-based breakouts, and ranging environments — all from structural logic and ATR responsiveness. Its stepwise midline provides clarity, while its dynamic color-coded candles make momentum shifts impossible to miss. Whether you’re scalping intraday momentum or managing swing entries, this tool helps you trade with the market’s rhythm — not against it.

Dynamic Sentiment RSI [UAlgo]The Dynamic Sentiment RSI is a technical analysis tool that combines the classic RSI (Relative Strength Index) concept with dynamic sentiment analysis, offering traders enhanced insights into market conditions. Unlike the traditional RSI, this indicator integrates volume weighting, sentiment factors, and smoothing features to provide a more nuanced view of momentum and potential market reversals. It is designed to assist traders in detecting overbought/oversold conditions, momentum shifts, and to generate potential buy or sell signals using crossover and crossunder techniques. By dynamically adjusting based on sentiment and volume factors, this RSI offers better adaptability to varying market conditions, making it suitable for different trading styles and timeframes. This tool is particularly helpful for traders who wish to explore not only price movement but also the underlying market sentiment, offering a more comprehensive approach to momentum analysis. The sentiment factor amplifies the RSI's sensitivity to price shifts, making it easier to detect early signals of market reversals or the continuation of a trend. 🔶 Key Features Dynamic Sentiment Calculation: The indicator incorporates a "Sentiment Factor" that adjusts the RSI length dynamically based on a multiplier, helping traders better understand market sentiment at different time intervals. Volume Weighting: When enabled, the RSI calculations are weighted by volume, allowing traders to give more importance to price movements with higher trading volume, which may provide more accurate signals. Smoothing Feature: A customizable smoothing period is applied to the RSI to help filter out noise and make the signal smoother. This feature is particularly useful for traders who prefer to focus on long-term trends while minimizing false signals. Step Size Customization: A "Step Size" input allows users to round the sentiment RSI to predefined intervals, making the results easier to interpret and act upon. This feature allows you to focus on significant sentiment changes and ignore minor fluctuations. Crossover/Crossunder Alerts: The indicator includes crossover and crossunder signals on the zero-line, helping traders identify potential buy and sell opportunities as the smoothed RSI crosses these levels. The indicator offers a clear visual display with multiple color-coded lines and areas: Sentiment RSI: Plotted as an area chart, color-coded based on sentiment strength. Raw RSI: A purple line representing the raw adjusted RSI. Smoothed RSI: A dynamic line, color-coded aqua or orange based on its position relative to the zero line. Buy/Sell Signals: Triangle shapes are plotted at crossovers and crossunders, providing clear entry and exit points. 🔶 Interpreting the Indicator Sentiment RSI -This line represents the sentiment-adjusted RSI, where the higher the value, the stronger the bullish sentiment, and the lower the value, the stronger the bearish sentiment. It is rounded to step intervals, making it easier to detect significant shifts in sentiment. - A positive sentiment RSI (above 0) suggests bullish market conditions, while a negative sentiment RSI (below 0) suggests bearish conditions. Smoothed RSI The smoothed RSI helps reduce noise and shows the trend more clearly. Crossovers of the zero line are significant: - Crossover above zero: Indicates that bullish momentum is building, potentially signaling a buying opportunity. - Crossunder below zero: Signals a shift towards bearish momentum, potentially indicating a sell signal. Traders should look for these crossovers in conjunction with other signals for more accurate entry/exit points. Raw RSI (Adjusted) The raw adjusted RSI offers a less smoothed, more responsive version of the RSI. While it may be noisier, it provides early signals of market reversals and trends. Crossover/Crossunder Signals - When the smoothed RSI crosses above the zero line, a "Signal Up" triangle appears, indicating a potential buying opportunity. - When the smoothed RSI crosses below the zero line, a "Signal Down" triangle appears, signaling a potential sell opportunity. These signals help traders time their entries and exits by identifying momentum shifts. Volume Weighting (Optional) - If volume weighting is enabled, the RSI will give more weight to periods of higher trading volume, making the signals more reliable when the market is highly active. Strong Up/Down Levels (40/-40) - These dotted lines represent extreme sentiment levels. When the sentiment RSI reaches 40 or -40, the market may be nearing an overbought or oversold condition, respectively. This could be a signal for traders to prepare for potential reversals or shifts in momentum. By combining the various components of this indicator, traders can gain a comprehensive view of market sentiment and price action, helping them make more informed trading decisions. The combination of sentiment factors, volume weighting, and smoothing makes this indicator highly flexible and suitable for a variety of trading strategies. 🔶 Disclaimer Use with Caution: This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice.

Filter impulse & step responses A simple utility tool to examine a filter's step & impulse responses. By default you can see LSMA's responses. How to use: 1. Insert your filter to "f(input)" function inside the code; 2. Let this tool help you to make your own filters. I been seeing people dropping snaps with this stuff but NEVER, NO1 actually dropped the tool itself (4 real?). Well here is it, for you. Almost forgot, adjust "Position" parameter to make plots seen. Try to zoom out, and +-100

Step Rider Release Note: Idea of this script is to ride on the trend. Multiple dynamic support and resistance are identified and those levels are used Step Lines: There are 3 different periods by default are used to define 3 different step lines. On any trend, either of these 3 steps shall play major role Color Strength: Change in Red & Green color and its thickness changed based on how strong the up or down trend is. Disclaimer: //Disclaimer: Idea of publishing this script is to identify the strength of the instrument using multiple confirmation. //Disclaimer: Using this indicator, changing inputs, and trading decisions are up to the users/traders. //Courtesy: Thanks to Richard Donchian, Alan Hull as this indicator/script inspired by Donchian Channels, Hull Moving Average

[RS]Cyclic Interval Average Price EXPERIMENTAL: Cyclic interval price averaging at every x bars. Lines for trend line and intra trend slope(not working as intended).

Efficient Trend Step Mod This is my mod of a wonderful script by alexgrover. See his comprehensive description of the logic behind the script at his page at Added are labels, alerts and selection of periods among (mainly;)) fibo numbers.

Trend Step Just a modification of my old auto-line script, lot of errors fixed and a correction in the standard deviation. Also changed the tittle because "auto-line" was really confusing.
