Uptrick: Universal Z-Score ValuationOverview
The Uptrick: Universal Z-Score Valuation is a tool designed to help traders spot when the market might be overreacting—whether that’s on the upside or the downside. It does this by combining the Z-scores of multiple key indicators into a single average, letting you see how far the current market conditions have stretched away from “normal.” This average is shown as a smooth line, supported by color-coded visuals, signal markers, optional background highlights, and a live breakdown table that shows the contribution of each indicator in real time. The focus here is on spotting potential reversals, not following trends. The indicator works well across all timeframes and asset classes, from fast intraday charts like the 1-minute and 5-minute, to higher timeframes such as the 4-hour, daily, or even weekly. Its universal design makes it suitable for any market — whether you're trading crypto, stocks, forex, or commodities.
Introduction
To understand what this indicator does, let’s start with the idea of a Z-score. In simple terms, a Z-score tells you how far a number is from the average of its recent history, measured in standard deviations. If the price of an asset is two standard deviations above its mean, that means it’s statistically “rare” or extended. That doesn’t guarantee a reversal—but it suggests the move is unusual enough to pay attention.
This concept isn’t new, but what this indicator does differently is apply the Z-score to a wide set of market signals—not just price. It looks at momentum, volatility, volume, risk-adjusted performance, and even institutional price baselines. Each of those indicators is normalized using Z-scores, and then they’re combined into one average. This gives you a single, easy-to-read line that summarizes whether the entire market is behaving abnormally. Instead of reacting to one indicator, you’re reacting to a statistically balanced blend.
Purpose
The goal of this script is to catch turning points—places where the market may be topping out or bottoming after becoming overstretched. It’s built for traders who want to fade sharp moves rather than follow trends. Think of moments when price explodes upward and starts pulling away from every moving average, volume spikes, volatility rises, and RSI shoots up. This tool is meant to spot those situations—not just when price is stretched, but when multiple different indicators agree that something is overdone.
Originality and Uniqueness
Most indicators that use Z-scores only apply them to one thing—price, RSI, or maybe Bollinger Bands. This one is different because it treats each indicator as a contributor to the full picture. You decide which ones to include, and the script averages them out. This makes the tool flexible but also deeply informative.
It doesn’t rely on complex or hidden math. It uses basic Z-score formulas, applies them to well-known indicators, and shows you the result. What makes it unique is the way it brings those signals together—statistically, visually, and interactively—so you can see what’s happening in the moment with full transparency. It’s not trying to be flashy or predictive. It’s just showing you when things have gone too far, too fast.
Inputs and Parameters
This indicator includes a wide range of configurable inputs, allowing users to customize which components are included in the Z-score average, how each indicator is calculated, and how results are displayed visually. Below is a detailed explanation of each input:
General Settings

Stochastic Length (default: 14)
ATR Length (default: 14)
RSI Length (default: 14)
ROC Length (default: 10)
Zones
These thresholds define key signal levels for the Z-score average:
Neutral Line Level (default: 0): Baseline for the average Z-score.
Bullish Zone Level (default: -1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bullish conditions.
Bearish Zone Level (default: 1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bearish conditions.
Z = +2 Line Level (default: 2): Primary threshold for bearish signals.
Z = +3 Line Level (default: 3): Extreme bearish warning level.
Z = -2 Line Level (default: -2): Primary threshold for bullish signals.
Z = -3 Line Level (default: -3): Extreme bullish warning level.
These zone levels are used to generate signals, fill background shading, and draw horizontal lines for visual reference.
Why These Indicators Were Merged
Each indicator in this script was chosen for a specific reason. They all measure something different but complementary.
The VWAP Z-score helps you see when price has moved far from the volume-weighted average, often used by institutions.
Sortino Ratio Z-score focuses only on downside risk, which is often more relevant to traders than overall volatility.
ROC Z-score shows how fast price is changing—strong momentum may burn out quickly.
Price Z-score is the raw measure of how far current price has moved from its mean.
RSI Z-score shows whether momentum itself is stretched.
MACD Histogram Z-score captures shifts in trend strength and acceleration.
%B (Bollinger) Z-score indicates how close price is to the upper or lower volatility envelope.
Stochastic K Z-score gives a sense of how high or low price is relative to its recent range.
Volume Z-score shows when trading activity is unusually high or low.
ATR Z-score gives a read on volatility, showing if price movement is expanding or contracting.
Sharpe Z-score measures reward-to-risk performance, useful for evaluating trend quality.
Omega Z-score looks at the ratio of good returns to bad ones, offering a more nuanced view of efficiency.
By normalizing each of these using Z-scores and averaging only the ones you turn on, the script creates a flexible, balanced view of the market’s statistical stretch.
Calculations
The core formula is the standard Z-score:
Z = (current value - average) / standard deviation
Every indicator uses this formula after it’s calculated using your chosen settings. For example, RSI is first calculated as usual, then its Z-score is calculated over your selected lookback period. The script does this for every indicator you enable. Then it averages those Z-scores together to create a single value: zAvg. That value is plotted and used to generate visual cues, signals, table values, background color changes, and candle coloring.
Sequence
Each selected indicator is calculated using your custom input lengths.
The Z-score of each indicator is computed using the shared lookback period.
All active Z-scores are added up and averaged.
The resulting zAvg value is plotted as a line.
Signal conditions check if zAvg crosses user-defined thresholds (default: ±2).
If enabled, the script plots buy/sell signal labels at those crossover points.
The candle color is updated using your selected mode (heatmap or signal-based).
If extreme Z-scores are reached, background highlighting is applied.
A live table updates with each individual Z-score so you know what’s driving the signal.
Features
This script isn’t just about stats—it’s about making them usable in real time. Every feature has a clear reason to exist, and they’re all there to give you a better read on market conditions.
1. Universal Z-Score Line
This is your primary reference. It reflects the average Z-score across all selected indicators. The line updates live and is color-coded to show how far it is from neutral. The further it gets from 0, the brighter the color becomes—cyan for deeply oversold conditions, magenta for overbought. This gives you instant feedback on how statistically “hot” or “cold” the market is, without needing to read any numbers.
2. Signal Labels (“𝓤𝓹” and “𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”)
When the average Z-score drops below your lower bound, you’ll see a "𝓤𝓹" label below the bar, suggesting potential bullish reversal conditions. When it rises above the upper bound, a "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" label is shown above the bar—indicating possible bearish exhaustion. These labels are visually clear and minimal so they don’t clutter your chart. They're based on clear crossover logic and do not repaint.
3. Real-Time Z-Score Table
The table shows each indicator's individual Z-score and the final average. It updates every bar, giving you a transparent breakdown of what’s happening under the hood. If the market is showing an extreme average score, this table helps you pinpoint which indicators are contributing the most—so you’re not just guessing where the pressure is coming from.
4. Bar Coloring Modes
You can choose from three modes:
None: Keeps your candles clean and untouched.
Heat: Applies a smooth gradient color based on Z-score intensity. As conditions become more extreme, candle color transitions from neutral to either cyan (bullish pressure) or magenta (bearish pressure).
Latest Signal: Applies hard coloring based on the most recent signal—greenish for a buy, purple for a sell. This mode is great for tracking market state at a glance without relying on a gradient.
Every part of the candle is colored—body, wick, and border—for full visibility.
5. Background Highlighting
When zAvg enters an extreme zone (typically above +2 or below -2), the background shifts color to reflect the market’s intensity. These changes aren’t overwhelming—they’re light fills that act as ambient warnings, helping you stay aware of when price might be reaching a tipping point.
6. Customizable Zone Lines and Fills
You can define what counts as neutral, overbought, and oversold using manual inputs. Horizontal lines show your thresholds, and shaded regions highlight the most extreme zones (+2 to +3 and -2 to -3). These lines give you visual structure to understand where price currently stands in relation to your personal reversal model.
7. Modular Indicator Control
You don’t have to use all the indicators. You can enable or disable any of the 12 with a simple checkbox. This means you can build your own “blend” of market context—maybe you only care about RSI, price, and volume. Or maybe you want everything on. The script adapts accordingly, only averaging what you select.
8. Fully Customizable Sensitivity and Lengths
You can adjust the Z-score lookback length globally (default 100), and tweak individual indicator lengths separately. This lets you tune the indicator’s responsiveness to suit your trading style—slower for longer swings, faster for scalping.
9. Clean Integration with Any Chart Layout
All visual elements are designed to be informative without taking over your chart. The coloring is soft but clear, the labels are readable without being huge, and you can turn off any feature you don’t need. The indicator can work as a full dashboard or as a simple line with a couple of alerts—it’s up to you.
10. Precise, Real-Time Signal Logic
The crossover logic for signals is exact and only fires when the Z-score moves across your defined boundary. No estimation, no delay. Everything is calculated based on current and previous bar data, and nothing repaints or back-adjusts.
Conclusion
The Universal Z-Score Valuation indicator is a tool for traders who want a clear, unbiased way to detect overextension. Instead of relying on a single signal, you get a composite of several market perspectives—momentum, volatility, volume, and more—all standardized into a single view. The script gives you the freedom to control the logic, the visuals, and the components. Whether you use it as a confirmation tool or a primary signal source, it’s designed to give you clarity when markets become chaotic.

Uptrick
Uptrick: Z-Trend BandsOverview
Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands is a Pine Script overlay crafted to capture high-probability mean-reversion opportunities. It dynamically plots upper and lower statistical bands around an EMA baseline by converting price deviations into z-scores. Once price moves outside these bands and then reenters, the indicator verifies that momentum is genuinely reversing via an EMA-smoothed RSI slope. Signal memory ensures only one entry per momentum swing, and traders receive clear, real-time feedback through customizable bar-coloring modes, a semi-transparent fill highlighting the statistical zone, concise “Up”/“Down” labels, and a live five-metric scoring table.
Introduction
Markets often oscillate between trending and reverting, and simple thresholds or static envelopes frequently misfire when volatility shifts. Standard deviation quantifies how “wide” recent price moves have been, and a z-score transforms each deviation into a measure of how rare it is relative to its own history. By anchoring these bands to an exponential moving average, the script maintains a fluid statistical envelope that adapts instantly to both calm and turbulent regimes. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) tracks momentum; smoothing RSI with an EMA and observing its slope filters out erratic spikes, ensuring that only genuine momentum flips—upward for longs and downward for shorts—qualify.
Purpose
This indicator is purpose-built for short-term mean-reversion traders operating on lower–timeframe charts. It reveals when price has strayed into the outer 5 percent of its recent range, signaling an increased likelihood of a bounce back toward fair value. Rather than firing on price alone, it demands that momentum follow suit: the smoothed RSI slope must flip in the opposite direction before any trade marker appears. This dual-filter approach dramatically reduces noise-driven, false setups. Traders then see immediate visual confirmation—bar colors that reflect the latest signal and age over time, clear entry labels, and an always-visible table of metric scores—so they can gauge both the validity and freshness of each signal at a glance.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands stands apart from typical envelope or oscillator tools in four key ways. First, it employs fully normalized z-score bands, meaning ±2 always captures roughly the top and bottom 5 percent of moves, regardless of volatility regime. Second, it insists on two simultaneous conditions—price reentry into the bands and a confirming RSI slope flip—dramatically reducing whipsaw signals. Third, it uses slope-phase memory to lock out duplicate signals until momentum truly reverses again, enforcing disciplined entries. Finally, it offers four distinct bar-coloring schemes (solid reversal, fading reversal, exceeding bands, and classic heatmap) plus a dynamic scoring table, rather than a single, opaque alert, giving traders deep insight into every layer of analysis.
Why Each Component Was Picked
The EMA baseline was chosen for its blend of responsiveness—weighting recent price heavily—and smoothness, which filters market noise. Z-score deviation bands standardize price extremes relative to their own history, adapting automatically to shifting volatility so that “extreme” always means statistically rare. The RSI, smoothed with an EMA before slope calculation, captures true momentum shifts without the false spikes that raw RSI often produces. Slope-phase memory flags prevent repeated alerts within a single swing, curbing over-trading in choppy conditions. Bar-coloring modes provide flexible visual contexts—whether you prefer to track the latest reversal, see signal age, highlight every breakout, or view a continuous gradient—and the scoring table breaks down all five core checks for complete transparency.
Features
This indicator offers a suite of configurable visual and logical tools designed to make reversal signals both robust and transparent:
Dynamic z-score bands that expand or contract in real time to reflect current volatility regimes, ensuring the outer ±zThreshold levels always represent statistically rare extremes.
A smooth EMA baseline that weights recent price more heavily, serving as a fair-value anchor around which deviations are measured.
EMA-smoothed RSI slope confirmation, which filters out erratic momentum spikes by first smoothing raw RSI and then requiring its bar-to-bar slope to flip before any signal is allowed.
Slope-phase memory logic that locks out duplicate buy or sell markers until the RSI slope crosses back through zero, preventing over-trading during choppy swings.
Four distinct bar-coloring modes—Reversal Solid, Reversal Fade, Exceeding Bands, Classic Heat—plus a “None” option, so traders can choose whether to highlight the latest signal, show signal age, emphasize breakout bars, or view a continuous heat gradient within the bands.
A semi-transparent fill between the EMA and the upper/lower bands that visually frames the statistical zone and makes extremes immediately obvious.
Concise “Up” and “Down” labels that plot exactly when price re-enters a band with confirming momentum, keeping chart clutter to a minimum.
A real-time, five-metric scoring table (z-score, RSI slope, price vs. EMA, trend state, re-entry) that updates every two bars, displaying individual +1/–1/0 scores and an averaged Buy/Sell/Neutral verdict for complete transparency.
Calculations
Compute the fair-value EMA over fairLen bars.
Subtract that EMA from current price each bar to derive the raw deviation.
Over zLen bars, calculate the rolling mean and standard deviation of those deviations.
Convert each deviation into a z-score by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
Plot the upper and lower bands at ±zThreshold × standard deviation around the EMA.
Calculate raw RSI over rsiLen bars, then smooth it with an EMA of length rsiEmaLen.
Derive the RSI slope by taking the difference between the current and previous smoothed RSI.
Detect a potential reentry when price exits one of the bands on the prior bar and re-enters on the current bar.
Require that reentry coincide with an RSI slope flip (positive for a lower-band reentry, negative for an upper-band reentry).
On first valid reentry per momentum swing, fire a buy or sell signal and set a memory flag; reset that flag only when the RSI slope crosses back through zero.
For each bar, assign scores of +1, –1, or 0 for the z-score direction, RSI slope, price vs. EMA, trend-state, and reentry status.
Average those five scores; if the result exceeds +0.1, label “Buy,” if below –0.1, label “Sell,” otherwise “Neutral.”
Update bar colors, the semi-transparent fill, reversal labels, and the scoring table every two bars to reflect the latest calculations.
How It Actually Works
On each new candle, the EMA baseline and band widths update to reflect current volatility. The RSI is smoothed and its slope recalculated. The script then looks back one bar to see if price exited either band and forward to see if it reentered. If that reentry coincides with an appropriate RSI slope flip—and no signal has yet been generated in that swing—a concise label appears. Bar colors refresh according to your selected mode, and the scoring table updates to show which of the five conditions passed or failed, along with the overall verdict. This process repeats seamlessly at each bar, giving traders a continuous feed of disciplined, statistically filtered reversal cues.
Inputs
All parameters are fully user-configurable, allowing you to tailor sensitivity, lookbacks, and visuals to your trading style:
EMA length (fairLen): number of bars for the fair-value EMA; higher values smooth more but lag further behind price.
Z-Score lookback (zLen): window for calculating the mean and standard deviation of price deviations; longer lookbacks reduce noise but respond more slowly to new volatility.
Z-Score threshold (zThreshold): number of standard deviations defining the upper and lower bands; common default is 2.0 for roughly the outer 5 percent of moves.
Source (src): choice of price series (close, hl2, etc.) used for EMA, deviation, and RSI calculations.
RSI length (rsiLen): period for raw RSI calculation; shorter values react faster to momentum changes but can be choppier.
RSI EMA length (rsiEmaLen): period for smoothing raw RSI before taking its slope; higher values filter more noise.
Bar coloring mode (colorMode): select from None, Reversal Solid, Reversal Fade, Exceeding Bands, or Classic Heat to control how bars are shaded in relation to signals and band positions.
Show signals (showSignals): toggle on-chart “Up” and “Down” labels for reversal entries.
Show scoring table (enableTable): toggle the display of the five-metric breakdown table.
Table position (tablePos): choose which corner (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) hosts the scoring table.
Conclusion
By merging a normalized z-score framework, momentum slope confirmation, disciplined signal memory, flexible visuals, and transparent scoring into one Pine Script overlay, Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands offers a powerful yet intuitive tool for intraday mean-reversion trading. Its adaptability to real-time volatility and multi-layered filter logic deliver clear, high-confidence reversal cues without the clutter or confusion of simpler indicators.

Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score DeviationOverview
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation is a trading indicator built in Pine Script that combines statistical filters and adaptive smoothing to highlight potential reversal points in price action. It combines a hybrid moving average, dual Z‑Score analysis on both price and RSI, and visual enhancements like slope‑based coloring, ATR‑based shadow bands, and dynamically scaled reversal signals.
Introduction
Statistical indicators like Z‑Scores measure how far a value deviates from its average relative to the typical variation (standard deviation). Standard deviation quantifies how dispersed a set of values is around its mean. A Z‑Score of +2 indicates a value two standard deviations above the mean, while -2 is two below. Traders use Z‑Scores to spot unusually high or low readings that may signal overbought or oversold conditions.
Moving averages smooth out price data to reveal trends. The Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) reduces lag and noise through weighted averaging. A Zero‑Lag EMA (approximated here using a time‑shifted EMA) seeks to further minimize delay in following price. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum oscillator that measures recent gains against losses over a set period.
ATR (Average True Range) gauges market volatility by averaging the range between high and low over a lookback period. Shadow bands built using ATR give a visual mood of volatility around a central trend line. Together, these tools inform a dynamic but statistically grounded view of market extremes.
Purpose
The main goal of this indicator is to help traders spot short‑term reversal opportunities on lower timeframes. By requiring both price and momentum (RSI) to exhibit statistically significant deviations from their norms, it filters out weak setups and focuses on higher‑probability mean‑reversion zones. Reversal signals appear when price deviates far enough from its hybrid moving average and RSI deviates similarly in the same direction. This makes it suitable for discretionary traders seeking clean entry cues in volatile environments.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation distinguishes itself from standard reversal or mean‑reversion tools by combining several elements into a single framework:
A composite moving average (ALMA + Zero‑Lag EMA) for a smooth yet responsive baseline
Dual Z‑Score filters on price and RSI rather than relying on a single measure
Adaptive visual elements, including slope‑aware coloring, multi‑layer ATR shadows, and signal sizing based on combined Z‑Score magnitude
Most indicators focus on one aspect—price envelopes or RSI thresholds—whereas Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation requires both layers to align before signaling. Its visual design aids quick interpretation without overwhelming the chart.
Why these indicators were merged
Every component in Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation has a purpose:
• ALMA: provides a smooth moving average with reduced lag and fewer false crossovers than a simple SMA or EMA.
• Zero‑Lag EMA (ZLMA approximation): further reduces the delay relative to price by applying a time shift to EMA inputs. This keeps the composite MA closer to current price action.
• RSI and its EMA filter: RSI measures momentum. Applying an EMA filter on RSI smooths out false spikes and confirms genuine overbought or oversold momentum.
• Dual Z‑Scores: computing Z‑Scores on both the distance between price and the composite MA, and on smoothed RSI, ensures that signals only fire when both price and momentum are unusually stretched.
• ATR bands: using ATR‑based shadow layers visualizes volatility around the MA, guiding traders on potential support and resistance zones.
At the end, these pieces merge into a single indicator that detects statistically significant mean reversions while staying adaptive to real‑time volatility and momentum.
Calculations
1. Compute ALMA over the chosen MA length, offset, and sigma.
2. Approximate ZLMA by applying EMA to twice the price minus the price shifted by the MA length.
3. Calculate the composite moving average as the average of ALMA and ZLMA.
4. Compute raw RSI and smooth it with ALMA. Apply an EMA filter to raw RSI to reduce noise.
5. For both price and smoothed RSI, calculate the mean and standard deviation over the Z‑Score lookback period.
6. Compute Z‑Scores:
• z_price = (current price − composite MA mean) / standard deviation of price deviations
• z_rsi = (smoothed RSI − mean RSI) / standard deviation of RSI
7. Determine reversal conditions: both Z‑Scores exceed their thresholds in the same direction, RSI EMA is in oversold/overbought zones (below 40 or above 60), and price movement confirms directionality.
8. Compute signal strength as the sum of the absolute Z‑Scores, then classify into weak, medium, or strong.
9. Calculate ATR over the chosen period and multiply by layer multipliers to form shadow widths.
10.Derive slope over the chosen slope length and color the MA line and bars based on direction, optionally smoothing color transitions via EMA on RGB channels.
How this indicator actually works
1. The script begins by smoothing price data with ALMA and approximating a zero‑lag EMA, then averaging them for the main MA.
2. RSI is calculated, then smoothed and filtered.
3. Using a rolling window, the script computes statistical measures for both price deviations and RSI.
4. Z‑Scores tell how far current values lie from their recent norms.
5. When both Z‑Scores cross configured thresholds and momentum conditions align, reversal signals are flagged.
6. Signals are drawn with size and color reflecting strength.
7. The MA is plotted with dynamic coloring; ATR shadows are layered beneath to show volatility envelopes.
8. Bars can be colored to match MA slope, reinforcing trend context.
9. Alert conditions allow automated notifications when signals occur.

Uptrick X PineIndicators: Z-Score Flow StrategyThis strategy is based on the Z-Score Flow Indicator developed by Uptrick. Full credit for the original concept and logic goes to Uptrick.
The Z-Score Flow Strategy combines statistical mean-reversion logic with trend filtering, RSI confirmation, and multi-mode trade execution, offering a flexible and structured approach to trading both reversals and trend continuations.
Core Concepts Behind Z-Score Flow
1. Z-Score Mean Reversion Logic
The Z-score measures how far current price deviates from its statistical mean, in standard deviations.
A high positive Z-score (e.g. > 2) suggests price is overbought and may revert downward.
A low negative Z-score (e.g. < -2) suggests price is oversold and may revert upward.
The strategy uses Z-score thresholds to trigger signals when price deviates far enough from its mean.
2. Trend Filtering with EMA
To prevent counter-trend entries, the strategy includes a trend filter based on a 50-period EMA:
Only allows long entries if price is below EMA (mean-reversion in downtrends).
Only allows short entries if price is above EMA (mean-reversion in uptrends).
3. RSI Confirmation and Lockout System
An RSI smoothing mechanism helps confirm signals and avoid whipsaws:
RSI must be below 30 and rising to allow buys.
RSI must be above 70 and falling to allow sells.
Once a signal occurs, it is "locked out" until RSI re-enters the neutral zone (30–70).
This avoids multiple signals in overextended zones and reduces overtrading.
Entry Signal Logic
A buy or sell is triggered when:
Z-score crosses below (buy) or above (sell) the threshold.
RSI smoothed condition is met (oversold and rising / overbought and falling).
The trend condition (EMA filter) aligns.
A cooldown period has passed since the last opposite trade.
This layered approach helps ensure signal quality and timing precision.
Trade Modes
The strategy includes three distinct trade modes to adapt to various market behaviors:
1. Standard Mode
Trades are opened using the Z-score + RSI + trend filter logic.
Each signal must pass all layered conditions.
2. Zero Cross Mode
Trades are based on the Z-score crossing zero.
This mode is useful in trend continuation setups, rather than mean reversion.
3. Trend Reversal Mode
Trades occur when the mean slope direction changes, i.e., basis line changes color.
Helps capture early trend shifts with less lag.
Each mode can be customized for long-only, short-only, or long & short execution.
Visual Components
1. Z-Score Mean Line
The basis (mean) line is colored based on slope direction.
Green = bullish slope, Purple = bearish slope, Gray = flat.
A wide shadow band underneath reflects current trend momentum.
2. Gradient Fill to Price
A gradient zone between price and the mean reflects:
Price above mean = bearish zone with purple overlay.
Price below mean = bullish zone with teal overlay.
This visual aid quickly reveals market positioning relative to equilibrium.
3. Signal Markers
"𝓤𝓹" labels appear for buy signals.
"𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" labels appear for sell signals.
These are colored and positioned according to trend context.
Customization Options
Z-Score Period & Thresholds: Define sensitivity to price deviations.
EMA Trend Filter Length: Filter entries with long-term bias.
RSI & Smoothing Periods: Fine-tune RSI confirmation conditions.
Cooldown Period: Prevent signal spam and enforce timing gaps.
Slope Index: Adjust how far back to compare mean slope.
Visual Settings: Toggle mean lines, gradients, and more.
Use Cases & Strategy Strengths
1. Mean-Reversion Trading
Ideal for catching pullbacks in trending markets or fading overextended price moves.
2. Trend Continuation or Reversal
With multiple trade modes, traders can choose between fading price extremes or trading slope momentum.
3. Signal Clarity and Risk Control
The combination of Z-score, RSI, EMA trend, and cooldown logic provides high-confidence signals with built-in filters.

Uptrick: Z-Score FlowOverview
Uptrick: Z-Score Flow is a technical indicator that integrates trend-sensitive momentum analysi s with mean-reversion logic derived from Z-Score calculations. Its primary objective is to identify market conditions where price has either stretched too far from its mean (overbought or oversold) or sits at a statistically “normal” range, and then cross-reference this observation with trend direction and RSI-based momentum signals. The result is a more contextual approach to trade entry and exit, emphasizing precision, clarity, and adaptability across varying market regimes.
Introduction
Financial instruments frequently transition between trending modes, where price extends strongly in one direction, and ranging modes, where price oscillates around a central value. A simple statistical measure like Z-Score can highlight price extremes by comparing the current price against its historical mean and standard deviation. However, such extremes alone can be misleading if the broader market structure is trending forcefully. Uptrick: Z-Score Flow aims to solve this gap by combining Z-Score with an exponential moving average (EMA) trend filter and a smoothed RSI momentum check, thus filtering out signals that contradict the prevailing market environment.
Purpose
The purpose of this script is to help traders pinpoint both mean-reversion opportunities and trend-based pullbacks in a way that is statistically grounded yet still mindful of overarching price action. By pairing Z-Score thresholds with supportive conditions, the script reduces the likelihood of acting on random price spikes or dips and instead focuses on movements that are significant within both historical and current contextual frameworks.
Originality and Uniquness
Layered Signal Verification: Signals require the fulfillment of multiple layers (Z-Score extreme, EMA trend bias, and RSI momentum posture) rather than merely breaching a statistical threshold.
RSI Zone Lockout: Once RSI enters an overbought/oversold zone and triggers a signal, the script locks out subsequent signals until RSI recovers above or below those zones, limiting back-to-back triggers.
Controlled Cooldown: A dedicated cooldown mechanic ensures that the script waits a specified number of bars before issuing a new signal in the opposite direction.
Gradient-Based Visualization: Distinct gradient fills between price and the Z-Mean line enhance readability, showing at a glance whether price is trading above or below its statistical average.
Comprehensive Metrics Panel: An optional on-chart table summarizes the Z-Score’s key metrics, streamlining the process of verifying current statistical extremes, mean levels, and momentum directions.
Why these indicators were merged
Z-Score measurements excel at identifying when price deviates from its mean, but they do not intrinsically reveal whether the market’s trajectory supports a reversion or if price might continue along its trend. The EMA, commonly used for spotting trend directions, offers valuable insight into whether price is predominantly ascending or descending. However, relying solely on a trend filter overlooks the intensity of price moves. RSI then adds a dedicated measure of momentum, helping confirm if the market’s energy aligns with a potential reversal (for example, price is statistically low but RSI suggests looming upward momentum). By uniting these three lenses—Z-Score for statistical context, EMA for trend direction, and RSI for momentum force—the script offers a more comprehensive and adaptable system, aiming to avoid false positives caused by focusing on just one aspect of price behavior.
Calculations
The core calculation begins with a simple moving average (SMA) of price over zLen bars, referred to as the basis. Next, the script computes the standard deviation of price over the same window. Dividing the difference between the current price and the basis by this standard deviation produces the Z-Score, indicating how many standard deviations the price is from its mean. A positive Z-Score reveals price is above its average; a negative reading indicates the opposite.
To detect overall market direction, the script calculates an exponential moving average (emaTrend) over emaTrendLen bars. If price is above this EMA, the script deems the market bullish; if below, it’s considered bearish. For momentum confirmation, the script computes a standard RSI over rsiLen bars, then applies a smoothing EMA over rsiEmaLen bars. This smoothed RSI (rsiEma) is monitored for both its absolute level (oversold or overbought) and its slope (the difference between the current and previous value). Finally, slopeIndex determines how many bars back the script compares the basis to check whether the Z-Mean line is generally rising, falling, or flat, which then informs the coloring scheme on the chart.
Calculations and Rational
Simple Moving Average for Baseline: An SMA is used for the core mean because it places equal weight on each bar in the lookback period. This helps maintain a straightforward interpretation of overbought or oversold conditions in the context of a uniform historical average.
Standard Deviation for Volatility: Standard deviation measures the variability of the data around the mean. By dividing price’s difference from the mean by this value, the Z-Score can highlight whether price is unusually stretched given typical volatility.
Exponential Moving Average for Trend: Unlike an SMA, an EMA places more emphasis on recent data, reacting quicker to new price developments. This quicker response helps the script promptly identify trend shifts, which can be crucial for filtering out signals that go against a strong directional move.
RSI for Momentum Confirmation: RSI is an oscillator that gauges price movement strength by comparing average gains to average losses over a set period. By further smoothing this RSI with another EMA, short-lived oscillations become less influential, making signals more robust.
SlopeIndex for Slope-Based Coloring: To clarify whether the market’s central tendency is rising or falling, the script compares the basis now to its level slopeIndex bars ago. A higher current reading indicates an upward slope; a lower reading, a downward slope; and similar readings, a flat slope. This is visually represented on the chart, providing an immediate sense of the directionality.
Inputs
zLen (Z-Score Period)
Specifies how many bars to include for computing the SMA and standard deviation that form the basis of the Z-Score calculation. Larger values produce smoother but slower signals; smaller values catch quick changes but may generate noise.
emaTrendLen (EMA Trend Filter)
Sets the length of the EMA used to detect the market’s primary direction. This is pivotal for distinguishing whether signals should be considered (price aligning with an uptrend or downtrend) or filtered out.
rsiLen (RSI Length)
Defines the window for the initial RSI calculation. This RSI, when combined with the subsequent smoothing EMA, forms the foundation for momentum-based signal confirmations.
rsiEmaLen (EMA of RSI Period)
Applies an exponential moving average over the RSI readings for additional smoothing. This step helps mitigate rapid RSI fluctuations that might otherwise produce whipsaw signals.
zBuyLevel (Z-Score Buy Threshold)
Determines how negative the Z-Score must be for the script to consider a potential oversold signal. If the Z-Score dives below this threshold (and other criteria are met), a buy signal is generated.
zSellLevel (Z-Score Sell Threshold)
Determines how positive the Z-Score must be for a potential overbought signal. If the Z-Score surpasses this threshold (and other checks are satisfied), a sell signal is generated.
cooldownBars (Cooldown (Bars))
Enforces a bar-based delay between opposite signals. Once a buy signal has fired, the script must wait the specified number of bars before registering a new sell signal, and vice versa.
slopeIndex (Slope Sensitivity (Bars))
Specifies how many bars back the script compares the current basis for slope coloration. A bigger slopeIndex highlights larger directional trends, while a smaller number emphasizes shorter-term shifts.
showMeanLine (Show Z-Score Mean Line)
Enables or disables the plotting of the Z-Mean and its slope-based coloring. Traders who prefer minimal chart clutter may turn this off while still retaining signals.
Features
Statistical Core (Z-Score Detection):
This feature computes the Z-Score by taking the difference between the current price and the basis (SMA) and dividing by the standard deviation. In effect, it translates price fluctuations into a standardized measure that reveals how significant a move is relative to the typical variation seen over the lookback. When the Z-Score crosses predefined thresholds (zBuyLevel for oversold and zSellLevel for overbought), it signals that price could be at an extreme.
How It Works: On each bar, the script updates the SMA and standard deviation. The Z-Score is then refreshed accordingly. Traders can interpret particularly large negative or positive Z-Score values as scenarios where price is abnormally low or high.
EMA Trend Filter:
An EMA over emaTrendLen bars is used to classify the market as bullish if the price is above it and bearish if the price is below it. This classification is applied to the Z-Score signals, accepting them only when they align with the broader price direction.
How It Works: If the script detects a Z-Score below zBuyLevel, it further checks if price is actually in a downtrend (below EMA) before issuing a buy signal. This might seem counterintuitive, but a “downtrend” environment plus an oversold reading often signals a potential bounce or a mean-reversion play. Conversely, for sell signals, the script checks if the market is in an uptrend first. If it is, an overbought reading aligns with potential profit-taking.
RSI Momentum Confirmation with Oversold/Overbought Lockout:
RSI is calculated over rsiLen, then smoothed by an EMA over rsiEmaLen. If this smoothed RSI dips below a certain threshold (for example, 30) and then begins to slope upward, the indicator treats it as a potential sign of recovering momentum. Similarly, if RSI climbs above a certain threshold (for instance, 70) and starts to slope downward, that suggests dwindling momentum. Additionally, once RSI is in these zones, the indicator locks out repetitive signals until RSI fully exits and re-enters those extreme territories.
How It Works: Each bar, the script measures whether RSI has dropped below the oversold threshold (like 30) and has a positive slope. If it does, the buy side is considered “unlocked.” For sell signals, RSI must exceed an overbought threshold (70) and slope downward. The combination of threshold and slope helps confirm that a reversal is genuinely in progress instead of issuing signals while momentum remains weak or stuck in extremes.
Cooldown Mechanism:
The script features a custom bar-based cooldown that prevents issuing new signals in the opposite direction immediately after one is triggered. This helps avoid whipsaw situations where the market quickly flips from oversold to overbought or vice versa.
How It Works: When a buy signal fires, the indicator notes the bar index. If the Z-Score and RSI conditions later suggest a sell, the script compares the current bar index to the last buy signal’s bar index. If the difference is within cooldownBars, the signal is disallowed. This ensures a predefined “quiet period” before switching signals.
Slope-Based Coloring (Z-Mean Line and Shadow):
The script compares the current basis value to its value slopeIndex bars ago. A higher reading now indicates a generally upward slope, while a lower reading indicates a downward slope. The script then shades the Z-Mean line in a corresponding bullish or bearish color, or remains neutral if little change is detected.
How It Works: This slope calculation is refreshingly straightforward: basis – basis . If the result is positive, the line is colored bullish; if negative, it is colored bearish; if approximately zero, it remains neutral. This provides a quick visual cue of the medium-term directional bias.
Gradient Overlays:
With gradient fills, the script highlights where price stands in relation to the Z-Mean. When price is above the basis, a purple-shaded region is painted, visually indicating a “bearish zone” for potential overbought conditions. When price is below, a teal-like overlay is used, suggesting a “bullish zone” for potential oversold conditions.
How It Works: Each bar, the script checks if price is above or below the basis. It then applies a fill between close and basis, using distinct colors to show whether the market is trading above or below its mean. This creates an immediate sense of how extended the market might be.
Buy and Sell Labels (with Alerts):
When a legitimate buy or sell condition passes every check (Z-Score threshold, EMA trend alignment, RSI gating, and cooldown clearance), the script plots a corresponding label directly on the chart. It also fires an alert (if alerts are set up), making it convenient for traders who want timely notifications.
How It Works: If rawBuy or rawSell conditions are met (refined by RSI, EMA trend, and cooldown constraints), the script calls the respective plot function to paint an arrow label on the chart. Alerts are triggered simultaneously, carrying easily recognizable messages.
Metrics Table:
The optional on-chart table (activated by showMetrics) presents real-time Z-Score data, including the current Z-Score, its rolling mean, the maximum and minimum Z-Score values observed over the last zLen bars, a percentile position, and a short-term directional note (rising, falling, or flat).
Current – The present Z-Score reading
Mean – Average Z-Score over the zLen period
Min/Max – Lowest and highest Z-Score values within zLen
Position – Where the current Z-Score sits between the min and max (as a percentile)
Trend – Whether the Z-Score is increasing, decreasing, or flat
Conclusion
Uptrick: Z-Score Flow offers a versatile solution for traders who need a statistically informed perspective on price extremes combined with practical checks for overall trend and momentum. By leveraging a well-defined combination of Z-Score, EMA trend classification, RSI-based momentum gating, slope-based visualization, and a cooldown mechanic, the script reduces the occurrence of false or premature signals. Its gradient fills and optional metrics table contribute further clarity, ensuring that users can quickly assess market posture and make more confident trading decisions in real time.

Uptrick: Acceleration ShiftsIntroduction
Uptrick: Acceleration Shifts is designed to measure and visualize price momentum shifts by focusing on acceleration —the rate of change in velocity over time. It uses various moving average techniques as a trend filter, providing traders with a clearer perspective on market direction and potential trade entries or exits.
Purpose
The main goal of this indicator is to spot strong momentum changes (accelerations) and confirm them with a chosen trend filter. It attempts to distinguish genuine market moves from noise, helping traders make more informed decisions. The script can also trigger multiple entries (smart pyramiding) within the same trend, if desired.
Overview
By measuring how quickly price velocity changes (acceleration) and comparing it against a smoothed average of itself, this script generates buy or sell signals once the acceleration surpasses a given threshold. A trend filter is added for further validation. Users can choose from multiple smoothing methods and color schemes, and they can optionally enable a small table that displays real-time acceleration values.
Originality and Uniqueness
This script offers an acceleration-based approach, backed by several different moving average choices. The blend of acceleration thresholds, a trend filter, and an optional extra-entry (pyramiding) feature provides a flexible toolkit for various trading styles. The inclusion of multiple color themes and a slope-based coloring of the trend line adds clarity and user customization.
Inputs & Features
1. Acceleration Length (length)
This input determines the number of bars used when calculating velocity. Specifically, the script computes velocity by taking the difference in closing prices over length bars, and then calculates acceleration based on how that velocity changes over an additional length. The default is 14.
2. Trend Filter Length (smoothing)
This sets the lookback period for the chosen trend filter method. The default of 50 results in a moderately smooth trend line. A higher smoothing value will create a slower-moving trend filter.
3. Acceleration Threshold (threshold)
This multiplier determines when acceleration is considered strong enough to trigger a main buy or sell signal. A default value of 2.5 means the current acceleration must exceed 2.5 times the average acceleration before signaling.
4. Smart Pyramiding Strength (pyramidingThreshold)
This lower threshold is used for additional (pyramiding) entries once the main trend has already been identified. For instance, if set to 0.5, the script looks for acceleration crossing ±0.5 times its average acceleration to add extra positions.
5. Max Pyramiding Entries (maxPyramidingEntries)
This sets a limit on how many extra positions can be opened (beyond the first main signal) in a single directional trend. The default of 3 ensures traders do not become overexposed.
6. Show Acceleration Table (showTable)
When enabled, a small table displaying the current acceleration and its average is added to the top-right corner of the chart. This table helps monitor real-time momentum changes.
7. Smart Pyramiding (enablePyramiding)
This toggle decides whether additional entries (buy or sell) will be generated once a main signal is active. If enabled, these extra signals act as filtered entries, only firing when acceleration re-crosses a smaller threshold (pyramidingThreshold). These signals have a '+' next to their signal on the label.
8. Select Color Scheme (selectedColorScheme)
Allows choosing between various pre-coded color themes, such as Default, Emerald, Sapphire, Golden Blaze, Mystic, Monochrome, Pastel, Vibrant, Earth, or Neon. Each theme applies a distinct pair of colors for bullish and bearish conditions.
9. Trend Filter (TrendFilter)
Lets the user pick one of several moving average approaches to determine the prevailing trend. The options include:
Short Term (TEMA)
EWMA
Medium Term (HMA)
Classic (SMA)
Quick Reaction (DEMA)
Each method behaves differently, balancing reactivity and smoothness.
10. Slope Lookback (slopeOffset)
Used to measure the slope of the trend filter over a set number of bars (default is 10). This slope then influences the coloring of the trend filter line, indicating bullish or bearish tilt.
Note: The script refers to this as the "Massive Slope Index," but it effectively serves as a Trend Slope Calculation, measuring how the chosen trend filter changes over a specified period.
11. Alerts for Buy/Sell and Pyramiding Signals
The script includes built-in alert conditions that can be enabled or configured. These alerts trigger whenever the script detects a main Buy or Sell signal, as well as extra (pyramiding) signals if Smart Pyramiding is active. This feature allows traders to receive immediate notifications or automate a trading response.
Calculation Methodology
1. Velocity and Acceleration
Velocity is derived by subtracting the closing price from its value length bars ago. Acceleration is the difference in velocity over an additional length period. This highlights how quickly momentum is shifting.
2. Average Acceleration
The script smooths raw acceleration with a simple moving average (SMA) using the smoothing input. Comparing current acceleration against this average provides a threshold-based signal mechanism.
3. Trend Filter
Users can pick one of five moving average types to form a trend baseline. These range from quick-reacting methods (DEMA, TEMA) to smoother options (SMA, HMA, EWMA). The script checks whether the price is above or below this filter to confirm trend direction.
4. Buy/Sell Logic
A buy occurs when acceleration surpasses avgAcceleration * threshold and price closes above the trend filter. A sell occurs under the opposite conditions. An additional overbought/oversold check (based on a longer SMA) refines these signals further.
When price is considered oversold (i.e., close is below a longer-term SMA), a bullish acceleration signal has a higher likelihood of success because it indicates that the market is attempting to reverse from a lower price region. Conversely, when price is considered overbought (close is above this longer-term SMA), a bearish acceleration signal is more likely to be valid. This helps reduce false signals by waiting until the market is extended enough that a reversal or continuation has a stronger chance of following through.
5. Smart Pyramiding
Once a main buy or sell signal is triggered, additional (filtered) entries can be taken if acceleration crosses a smaller multiplier (pyramidingThreshold). This helps traders scale into strong moves. The script enforces a cap (maxPyramidingEntries) to limit risk.
6. Visual Elements
Candles can be recolored based on the active signal. Labels appear on the chart whenever a main or pyramiding entry signal is triggered. An optional table can show real-time acceleration values.
Color Schemes
The script includes a variety of predefined color themes. For bullish conditions, it might use turquoise or green, and for bearish conditions, magenta or red—depending on which color scheme the user selects. Each scheme aims to provide clear visual differentiation between bullish and bearish market states.
Why Each Indicator Was Part of This Component
Acceleration is employed to detect swift changes in momentum, capturing shifts that may not yet appear in more traditional measures. To further adapt to different trading styles and market conditions, several moving average methods are incorporated:
• TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) is chosen for its ability to reduce lag more effectively than a standard EMA while still reacting swiftly to price changes. Its construction layers exponential smoothing in a way that can highlight sudden momentum shifts without sacrificing too much smoothness.
• DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) provides a faster response than a single EMA by using two layers of exponential smoothing. It is slightly less smoothed than TEMA but can alert traders to momentum changes earlier, though with a higher risk of noise in choppier markets.
• HMA (Hull Moving Average) is known for its balance of smoothness and reduced lag. Its weighted calculations help track trend direction clearly, making it useful for traders who want a smoother line that still reacts fairly quickly.
• SMA (Simple Moving Average) is the classic baseline for smoothing price data. It offers a clear, stable perspective on long-term trends, though it reacts more slowly than other methods. Its simplicity can be beneficial in lower-volatility or more stable market environments.
• EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average) provides a middle ground by emphasizing recent price data while still retaining some degree of smoothing. It typically responds faster than an SMA but is less aggressive than DEMA or TEMA.
Alongside these moving average techniques, the script employs a slope calculation (referred to as the “Massive Slope Index”) to visually indicate whether the chosen filter is sloping upward or downward. This adds an extra layer of clarity to directional analysis. The indicator also uses overbought/oversold checks, based on a longer-term SMA, to help filter out signals in overstretched markets—reducing the likelihood of false entries in conditions where the price is already extensively extended.
Additional Features
Alerts can be set up for both main signals and additional pyramiding signals, which is helpful for automated or semi-automated trading. The optional acceleration table offers quick reference values, making momentum monitoring more intuitive. Including explicit alert conditions for Buy/Sell and Pyramiding ensures traders can respond promptly to market movements or integrate these triggers into automated strategies.
Summary
This script serves as a comprehensive momentum-based trading framework, leveraging acceleration metrics and multiple moving average filters to identify potential shifts in market direction. By combining overbought/oversold checks with threshold-based triggers, it aims to reduce the noise that commonly plagues purely reactive indicators. The flexibility of Smart Pyramiding, customizable color schemes, and built-in alerts allows users to tailor their experience and respond swiftly to valid signals, potentially enhancing trading decisions across various market conditions.
Disclaimer
All trading involves significant risk, and users should apply their own judgment, risk management, and broader analysis before making investment decisions.
Uptrick: Time Based ReversionIntroduction
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum and potential trend shifts by combining multiple moving averages, a streak-based trend analysis system, and adaptive color visualization. It helps traders identify strong trends, spot potential reversals, and make more informed trading decisions.
Purpose
The primary goal of this indicator is to assist traders in distinguishing between sustained market movements and short-lived fluctuations. By evaluating how price behaves relative to its moving averages, and by measuring consecutive streaks above or below these averages, the indicator highlights areas where trends are likely to continue or lose momentum.
Overview
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion calculates one or more moving averages of price data and then tracks the number of consecutive bars (streaks) above or below these averages. This streak-based detection provides insight into whether a trend is gaining strength or nearing a potential reversal point. The indicator offers:
• Multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA)
• Optional second and third moving average layers for additional smoothing of first moving average
• A streak detection system to quantify trend intensity
• A dynamic color scheme that changes with streak strength
• Optional buy and sell signals for potential trade entries and exits
• A ribbon mode that applies moving averages to Open, High, Low, and Close prices for a more detailed visualization of overall trend alignment
Originality and Uniqueness
Unlike traditional moving average indicators, Uptrick: Time Based Reversion incorporates a streak measurement system to detect trend strength. This approach helps clarify whether a price movement is merely a quick fluctuation or part of a longer-lasting trend. Additionally, the optional ribbon mode extends this logic to Open, High, Low, and Close prices, creating a layered and intuitive visualization that shows complete trend alignment.
Inputs and Features
1. Enable Ribbon Mode
This input lets you activate or deactivate the ribbon display of multiple moving averages. When enabled, the script plots moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices and uses color fills to show whether these four data points are collectively above or below their respective moving averages.
2. Color Scheme Selection
Users can choose from several predefined color schemes, such as Default, Emerald, Crimson, Sapphire, Gold, Purple, Teal, Orange, Gray, Lime, or Aqua. Each scheme assigns distinct bullish, bearish and neutral colors..
3. Show Buy/Sell Signals
The indicator can display buy or sell signals based on its streak analysis logic. These signals appear as markers on the chart, indicating a “Safe Uptrend” (buy) or “Safe Downtrend” (sell).
4. Moving Average Types and Lengths
• First MA Type and Length: Choose SMA, EMA, or WMA along with a customizable period.
• Second and Third MA Types and Lengths: You can optionally stack additional moving averages for further smoothing, each with its own customizable type and period.
5. Streak Threshold Multiplier
This numeric input determines how strong a streak must be before the script considers it a “safe” trend. A higher multiplier requires a longer or more intense streak for a buy or sell signal.
6. Dynamic Transparency Calculation
The color intensity adapts to the streak’s strength. Longer streaks increase the transparency of the opposing color, making the current dominant color stand out. This feature ensures that a vigorous uptrend or downtrend is visually distinct from short-lived or weaker moves.
7. Ribbon Moving Averages
In ribbon mode, the script calculates moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices. Each of these is optionally smoothed again if the second and/or third moving average layers are active. The final result is a ribbon of moving averages that helps confirm whether the market is uniformly aligned above or below these key reference points.
Calculation Methodology
1. Initial Moving Average
The script calculates the first moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) of the closing price over a user-defined period.
2. Optional Secondary and Tertiary Averages
If selected, the script then applies a second and/or third smoothing step. Each of these steps can be a different type of moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) with its own period length.
3. Streak Detection
The indicator counts consecutive bars above or below the smoothed moving average. A running total (streakUp or streakDown) increments with every bar that remains above or below that average.
4. Reversion Intensity
The script compares the current streak value to its own average (calculated over the final chosen period). This ratio determines whether the streak is nearing a likely reversion or is strong enough to continue.
5. Color Assignment and Signals
The indicator calculates color transparency based on streak intensity. Buy and sell signals appear when the streak meets or exceeds the threshold multiplier, indicating a safe uptrend or downtrend.
Color Schemes and Visualization
This indicator offers multiple predefined color sets. Each scheme specifies a unique bullish color, bearish color and neutral color. The script automatically varies transparency to highlight strong trends and fade weaker ones, making it visually clear when a trend is intensifying or losing momentum.
Smoothing Techniques
By allowing up to three layers of moving average smoothing, the indicator accommodates different trading styles. A single layer provides faster reactions to market changes, while more layers reduce noise at the cost of slower responsiveness. Traders can choose the right balance between responsiveness and stability for their strategy, whether it is short-term scalping or long-term trend following.
Why It Combines Specific Smoothing Techniques
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator strategically combines specific smoothing techniques—SMA, EMA, and WMA—to leverage their complementary strengths. The SMA provides stable and consistent trend identification by equally weighting all data points, while the EMA emphasizes recent price movements, allowing quicker responses to market changes. WMA enhances sensitivity to recent price shifts, which helps in detecting subtle momentum changes early. By integrating these methods in layers, the indicator effectively balances responsiveness with stability, helping traders clearly identify genuine trend changes while filtering out short-term noise and false signals.
Ribbon Mode
If Open, High, Low, and Close prices remain above or below their respective moving averages consistently, the script colors the bars fully bullish or bearish. When the data points are mixed, a neutral color is applied. This mode provides a thorough perspective on whether the entire price range is aligned in one direction or showing conflicting signals.
Summary
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion combines multiple moving averages, streak detection, and dynamic color adjustments to help traders identify significant trends and potential reversal areas. Its flexibility allows it to be used either in a simpler form, with one moving average and streak analysis, or in a more advanced configuration with ribbon mode that charts multiple smoothed averages for a deeper understanding of price alignment. By adapting color intensities based on streak strength and providing optional buy/sell signals, this indicator delivers a clear and flexible tool suited to various trading strategies.
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed as an analysis aid and does not guarantee profitable trades. Past performance does not indicate future success, and market conditions can change unexpectedly. Users are advised to employ proper risk management and thoroughly evaluate trades before taking positions. Use this indicator as part of a broader strategy, not as a sole decision-making tool.
Uptrick: Alpha TrendIntroduction
Uptrick: Alpha Trend is a comprehensive technical analysis indicator designed to provide traders with detailed insights into market trends, momentum, and risk metrics. It adapts to various trading styles—from quick scalps to longer-term positions—by dynamically adjusting its calculations and visual elements. By combining multiple smoothing techniques, advanced color schemes, and customizable data tables, the indicator offers a holistic view of market behavior.
Originality
The Alpha Trend indicator distinguishes itself by blending established technical concepts with innovative adaptations. It employs three different smoothing techniques tailored to specific trading modes (Scalp, Swing, and Position), and it dynamically adjusts its parameters to match the chosen mode. The indicator also offers a wide range of color palettes and multiple on-screen tables that display key metrics. This unique combination of features, along with its ability to adapt in real time, sets it apart as a versatile tool for both novice and experienced traders.
Features
1. Multi-Mode Trend Line
The indicator automatically selects a smoothing method based on the trading mode:
- Scalp Mode uses the Hull Moving Average (HMA) for rapid responsiveness.
- Swing Mode employs the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for balanced reactivity.
- Position Mode applies the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) for smoother, long-term trends.
Each method is chosen to best capture the price action dynamics appropriate to the trader’s timeframe.
2. Adaptive Momentum Thresholds
It tracks bullish and bearish momentum with counters that increment as the trend confirms directional movement. When these counters exceed a user-defined threshold, the indicator generates optional buy or sell signals. This approach helps filter out minor fluctuations and highlights significant market moves.
3. Gradient Fills
Two types of fills enhance visual clarity:
- Standard Gradient Fill displays ATR-based zones above and below the trend line, indicating potential bullish and bearish areas.
- Fading Gradient Fill creates a smooth transition between the trend line and the price, visually emphasizing the distance between them.
4. Bar Coloring and Signal Markers
The indicator can color-code bars based on market conditions—bullish, bearish, or neutral—allowing for immediate visual assessment. Additionally, signal markers such as buy and sell arrows are plotted when momentum thresholds are breached.
5. Comprehensive Data Tables
Uptrick: Alpha Trend offers several optional tables for detailed analysis:
- Insider Info: Displays key metrics like the current trend value, bullish/bearish momentum counts, and ATR.
- Indicator Metrics: Lists input settings such as trend length, damping, signal threshold, and net momentum.
- Market Analysis: Summarizes overall trend direction, trend strength, Sortino ratio, return, and volatility.
- Price & Trend Dynamics: Details price deviation from the trend, trend slope, and ATR ratio.
- Momentum & Volatility Insights: Presents RSI, standard deviation (volatility), and net momentum.
- Performance & Acceleration Metrics: Focuses on the Sortino ratio, trend acceleration, return, and trend strength.
Each table can be positioned flexibly on the chart, allowing traders to customize the layout according to their needs.
Why It Combines Specific Smoothing Techniques
Smoothing techniques are essential for filtering out market noise and revealing underlying trends. The indicator combines three smoothing methods for the following reasons:
- The Hull Moving Average (HMA) in Scalp Mode minimizes lag and responds quickly to price changes, which is critical for short-term trading.
- The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in Swing Mode gives more weight to recent data, striking a balance between speed and smoothness. This makes it suitable for mid-term trend analysis.
- The Weighted Moving Average (WMA) in Position Mode smooths out short-term fluctuations, offering a clear view of longer-term trends and reducing the impact of transient market volatility.
By using these specific methods in their respective trading modes, the indicator ensures that the trend line is appropriately responsive for the intended time frame, enhancing decision-making while maintaining clarity.
Inputs
1. Trend Length (Default: 30)
Defines the lookback period for the smoothing calculation. A shorter trend length results in a more responsive line, while a longer length produces a smoother, less volatile trend.
2. Trend Damping (Default: 0.75)
Controls the degree of smoothing applied to the trend line. Lower values lead to a smoother curve, whereas higher values increase sensitivity to price fluctuations.
3. Signal Strength Threshold (Default: 5)
Specifies the number of consecutive bullish or bearish bars required to trigger a signal. Higher thresholds reduce the frequency of signals, focusing on stronger moves.
4. Enable Bar Coloring (Default: True)
Toggles whether each price bar is colored to indicate bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
5. Enable Signals (Default: True)
When enabled, this option plots buy or sell arrows on the chart once the momentum thresholds are met.
6. Enable Standard Gradient Fill (Default: False)
Activates ATR-based gradient fills around the trend line to visualize potential support and resistance zones.

Calculations
1. Trend Line Methods
- Scalp Mode: Utilizes the Hull Moving Average (HMA), which computes two weighted moving averages (one at half the length and one at full length), subtracts them, and then applies a final weighted average based on the square root of the length. This method minimizes lag and increases responsiveness.
- Swing Mode: Uses the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which assigns greater weight to recent prices, thus balancing quick reaction with smoothness.
- Position Mode: Applies the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to focus on longer-term trends by emphasizing the entire lookback period and reducing the impact of short-term volatility.
2. Momentum Tracking
The indicator maintains separate counters for bullish and bearish momentum. These counters increase as the trend confirms directional movement and reset when the trend reverses. When a counter exceeds the defined signal strength threshold, a corresponding signal (buy or sell) is triggered.
3. Volatility and ATR Zones
The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated using a period that adapts to the selected trading mode (shorter for Scalp, longer for Position). The ATR value is then used to define upper and lower zones around the trend line, highlighting the current level of market volatility.
4. Return and Trend Acceleration
- Return is calculated as the difference between the current and previous closing prices, providing a simple measure of price change.
- Trend Acceleration is derived from the change in the trend line’s movement (its first derivative) compared to the previous bar. This metric indicates whether the trend is gaining or losing momentum.
5. Sortino Ratio and Standard Deviation
- The Sortino Ratio measures risk-adjusted performance by comparing returns to downside volatility (only considering negative price changes).
- Standard Deviation is computed over the lookback period to assess the extent of price fluctuations, offering insights into market stability.
Usage
This indicator is suitable for various time frames and market instruments. Traders can enable or disable specific visual elements such as gradient fills, bar coloring, and signal markers based on their preference. For a minimalist approach, one might choose to display only the primary trend line. For a deeper analysis, enabling multiple tables can provide extensive data on momentum, volatility, trend dynamics, and risk metrics.
Important Note on Risk
Trading involves inherent risk, and no indicator can eliminate the uncertainty of the markets. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSIUptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI
Introduction
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI is a momentum-based indicator that integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA). By applying FRAMA's adaptive smoothing to RSI—and further refining it with a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)—this script creates a refined and reliable momentum oscillator. The indicator now includes enhanced divergence detection, potential reversal signals, customizable buy/sell signal options, an internal stats table, and a fully customizable bar coloring system for an enhanced visual trading experience.
Why Combine RSI with FRAMA
Traditional RSI is a well-known momentum indicator but has several limitations. It is highly sensitive to price fluctuations, often generating false signals in choppy or volatile markets. FRAMA, in contrast, adapts dynamically to price changes by adjusting its smoothing factor based on market conditions.
By integrating FRAMA into RSI calculations, this indicator reduces noise while preserving RSI's ability to track momentum, adapts to volatility by reducing lag in trending markets and smoothing out choppiness in ranging conditions, enhances trend-following capability for more reliable momentum shifts, and refines overbought and oversold signals by adjusting to the current market structure.
With the new enhancements, such as a manual alpha input, noise filtering, divergence detection, and multiple buy/sell signal options, the indicator offers even greater flexibility and precision for traders. This combination improves the standard RSI by making it more adaptive and responsive to market changes.
Originality
This indicator is unique because it applies FRAMA's adaptive smoothing technique to RSI, creating a dynamic momentum oscillator that adjusts to different market conditions. Many traditional RSI-based indicators either use fixed smoothing methods like exponential moving averages or employ basic RSI calculations without adjusting for volatility.
This script stands out by integrating several elements, including the fractal dimension-based smoothing of FRAMA to reduce noise while retaining responsiveness, the use of Zero-Lag Moving Average smoothing to enhance trend sensitivity and reduce lag, divergence detection to highlight mismatches between price action and RSI momentum, a noise filter and manual alpha option to prevent minor fluctuations from generating false signals, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between ZLMA-based or FRAMA RSI-based signals, an internal stats table displaying real-time FRAMA calculations such as fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha factor, and a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
Features
Adaptive FRAMA RSI
The indicator applies FRAMA to RSI values, making the momentum oscillator adaptive to volatility while filtering out noise. Unlike a traditional RSI that reacts equally to all price movements, FRAMA RSI adjusts its smoothing factor based on market structure, making it more effective for identifying true momentum shifts.
Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)
A smoothing technique that minimizes lag while preserving the responsiveness of price movements. It is applied to the FRAMA RSI to further refine signals and ensure smoother trend detection.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crossovers
This system compares FRAMA RSI to a user-defined threshold (default is 50). When FRAMA RSI moves above the threshold, it indicates bullish momentum, while movement below signals bearish conditions. The enhanced noise filter ensures that only significant moves trigger signals.
Noise Filter and Manual Alpha
A new noise filter input prevents tiny fluctuations from triggering false signals. In addition, a manual alpha option allows traders to override the automatically computed smoothing factor with a custom value, providing extra control over the indicator’s sensitivity.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergence patterns by comparing FRAMA RSI pivots to price action. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while FRAMA RSI makes a higher low, and bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while FRAMA RSI makes a lower high. These signals can help traders anticipate potential reversals.
Reversal Signals
Labels appear on the chart when FRAMA RSI confirms classic RSI overbought (70) or oversold (30) conditions, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can now choose between two signal-generation methods. ZLMA-based signals trigger when the ZLMA of FRAMA RSI crosses key overbought (70) or oversold (30) levels, while FRAMA RSI-based signals trigger when FRAMA RSI itself crosses these levels. This added flexibility allows users to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style.
ZLMA:
FRAMA:
Customizable Alerts
Alerts notify traders when FRAMA RSI crosses key levels, divergence signals occur, reversal conditions are met, or buy/sell signals trigger. This ensures that important trading events are not missed.
Fully Customizable Bar Coloring System
Users can color bars based on different conditions, enhancing visual clarity. Bar coloring modes include: FRAMA RSI threshold (bars change color based on whether FRAMA RSI is above or below the threshold), ZLMA crossover (bars change when ZLMA crosses overbought or oversold levels), buy/sell signals (bars change when official signals trigger), divergence (bars highlight when bullish or bearish divergence is detected), and reversals (bars indicate when RSI reaches overbought or oversold conditions confirmed by FRAMA RSI). The system also remembers the last applied bar color, ensuring a smooth visual transition.

How It Works
FRAMA Calculation
FRAMA dynamically adjusts smoothing based on the price fractal dimension. The alpha smoothing factor is derived from the fractal dimension or can be set manually to maintain responsiveness.
RSI with FRAMA Smoothing
RSI is calculated using the user-defined lookback period. FRAMA is then applied to the RSI to make it more adaptive to volatility. Optionally, ZLMA is applied to further refine the signals and reduce lag.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crosses
A bullish condition occurs when FRAMA RSI crosses above the threshold, while a bearish condition occurs when it falls below. The noise filter ensures that only significant trend shifts generate signals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can choose between ZLMA crossovers or FRAMA RSI crossovers as the basis for buy and sell signals, offering flexibility in trade entry timing.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergences where price action and FRAMA RSI momentum do not align, potentially signaling upcoming reversals.
Reversal Signal Labels
When classic RSI overbought or oversold levels are confirmed by FRAMA RSI conditions, reversal labels are added on the chart to highlight potential exhaustion points.
Bar Coloring System
Bars are dynamically colored based on various conditions such as RSI thresholds, ZLMA crossovers, buy/sell signals, divergence, and reversals, allowing traders to quickly interpret market sentiment.
Alerts and Internal Stats
Customizable alerts notify traders of key events, and an optional internal stats table displays real-time calculations (fractal dimension, alpha value, and RSI values) to help users understand the underlying dynamics of the indicator.

Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator can be your compass 🧭 in the complex world of trading.
### 🎯 **Purpose of the Indicator**
The primary goal of the **Momentum Channel Indicator** is to measure the deviation of price from its moving average (the mid-point) and to smooth this deviation to identify momentum shifts. By plotting overbought and oversold levels, the indicator helps traders spot potential reversal points where the market might change direction, offering valuable entry or exit signals.
### 🔧 **Inputs & Parameters**
Let's break down the input parameters that you can adjust to tailor the indicator to your trading style:
1. **`length1` (Channel Length) 📏**: This is the period over which the moving average (mid-point) and price deviation are calculated. The default value is 14, meaning the last 14 bars are considered for calculations.
2. **`length2` (Smoothing Length) 🧘**: This parameter controls the smoothing of the channel index, with a default value of 28. The higher the value, the smoother the momentum line, reducing noise and making trends more visible.
3. **`overbought1` & `overbought2` (Overbought Levels) 🔴**: These levels, set at 70 and 65 by default, represent the threshold above which the market is considered overbought, potentially signaling a selling opportunity.
4. **`oversold1` & `oversold2` (Oversold Levels) 🟢**: Similarly, these levels, set at -70 and -65, mark the threshold below which the market is considered oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
### 🛠️ **How the Indicator Works**
Now, let's dive into the mechanics of the Momentum Channel Indicator:
1. **Mid-Point Calculation 🏁**: The mid-point is calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over the `length1` period. This mid-point acts as a reference line from which deviations are measured.
2. **Price Deviation 📊**: The price deviation is the absolute difference between the closing price and the mid-point, smoothed over the same period (`length1`). This represents the typical price movement away from the mid-point.
3. **Channel Index 📉**: The channel index is calculated by dividing the price deviation by a fraction (0.01) of the mid-point, providing a normalized measure of how far the price has deviated from the average.
4. **Smoothing of the Channel Index 🌊**: The smoothed index (`mci1`) is calculated by applying a smoothing filter (SMA) over the channel index using the `length2` parameter. This helps reduce noise and highlight the true momentum of the market.
5. **Momentum Lines 📈**:
- **`mci1`**: The main momentum line, representing the smoothed channel index.
- **`mci2`**: A secondary momentum line, which is a further smoothed version of `mci1` using a 6-period SMA.
6. **Signal Lines 🚦**:
- **Overbought & Oversold Levels**: Horizontal lines plotted at `overbought1`, `overbought2`, `oversold1`, and `oversold2` levels serve as visual cues for overbought and oversold conditions.
- **Zero Line**: A central reference line at 0, indicating neutral momentum.
### 📈 **How to Use the Indicator**
#### 1. **Day Traders ⚡**
For day traders, the Momentum Channel Indicator can be a quick signal generator for short-term trades. Here's how you can use it:
- **Identify Entry Points 🎯**: Look for a **bullish crossover** when `mci1` crosses above `mci2` from below the `oversold1` level. This signals a potential upward reversal.
- **Spot Exit Points 🏁**: Watch for a **bearish crossunder** when `mci1` crosses below `mci2` from above the `overbought1` level. This could indicate a downward reversal.
- **Scalping 🔄**: In a fast-moving market, use the indicator to scalp by entering and exiting trades at these crossover points, with a tight stop-loss strategy.
#### 2. **Swing Traders 🎢**
Swing traders benefit from using the Momentum Channel Indicator to identify potential reversal points over a longer period:
- **Trend Confirmation 📊**: Use the smoothing effect of `mci2` to confirm trends. If `mci2` remains consistently above 0, it indicates a strong bullish trend, and vice versa.
- **Overbought/Oversold Reversals 🚀**: Enter trades when the price approaches the overbought or oversold levels (`overbought1`, `oversold1`). Combine this with other indicators, such as RSI, for more reliable signals.
- **Hold Positions 🧗**: Let the momentum lines guide your hold strategy. If the momentum lines stay aligned (both `mci1` and `mci2` are moving in the same direction), consider holding the position until a crossover or reversal signal appears.
#### 3. **Long-Term Investors 🏦**
For long-term investors, the Momentum Channel Indicator helps in fine-tuning entry and exit points based on broader market momentum:
- **Divergence Analysis 📐**: Look for divergence between the price and the momentum lines. If the price makes new highs but the momentum lines do not, it could signal a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
- **Strategic Entry/Exit 🏹**: Use the `overbought2` and `oversold2` levels to strategically enter or exit positions. These secondary levels provide an early warning before the market reaches extreme conditions.
- **Risk Management 🛡️**: The indicator can also be used as part of a risk management strategy by identifying when to reduce exposure in overbought markets or increase exposure in oversold markets.
### 🖼️ **Visualization & Interpretation**
The Momentum Channel Indicator is visually intuitive, with each component providing key insights:
1. **Momentum Lines (MCI1 & MCI2) 📈**:
- **Blue Line (`mci1`)**: Represents the main momentum line, providing immediate insights into market direction.
- **Orange Line (`mci2`)**: A secondary momentum line, further smoothed to confirm trends.
2. **Overbought/Oversold Levels 🔴🟢**:
- **Solid & Dashed Lines**: These lines highlight overbought and oversold regions, guiding traders on when to consider entering or exiting trades.
3. **MCI Difference (Purple Area) 🌌**:
- **Shaded Area**: The difference between `mci1` and `mci2`, shaded in purple, helps visualize the strength of the momentum. The larger the shaded area, the stronger the momentum.
### 🚀 **Advanced Tips & Tricks**
For those looking to maximize the potential of the Momentum Channel Indicator, here are some advanced strategies:
1. **Combine with Volume Indicators 📊**: Use volume indicators like OBV (On-Balance Volume) or Volume Oscillator to confirm momentum signals. For instance, a bullish crossover combined with increasing volume can reinforce a buy signal.
2. **Multiple Timeframe Analysis 🕒**: Apply the Momentum Channel Indicator across multiple timeframes (e.g., daily and weekly) to get a more comprehensive view of the market. This can help in aligning short-term trades with long-term trends.
3. **Adjusting Parameters 🔄**: Depending on market conditions, tweak the `length1` and `length2` parameters. In a highly volatile market, shorter lengths might provide quicker signals, whereas in a stable market, longer lengths could smooth out noise.
4. **Divergence & Convergence 📐**: Watch for divergence between price and momentum lines as a leading indicator of potential reversals. Convergence (when the price and momentum move in sync) can confirm the strength of the trend.

### How It Works: A Deep Dive Into the Mechanics 🛠️
1. **SuperTrend Calculation:**
- The SuperTrend is calculated using the ATR, which measures market volatility. The indicator creates upper and lower bands around the price, adjusting these bands based on the current level of market volatility. The direction of the trend is determined by the position of the price relative to these bands.
- The script enhances the standard SuperTrend by ensuring that the bands do not flip-flop too quickly, reducing the chances of false signals in a choppy market. The direction is confirmed by checking the position of the close relative to the previous band, making the trend detection more reliable.
2. **RSI Integration:**
- The RSI is calculated over a customizable length and compared to user-defined overbought and oversold levels. When the RSI crosses below the oversold level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bullish trend, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the RSI crosses above the overbought level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bearish trend, a sell signal is triggered.
- The combination of RSI with SuperTrend ensures that trades are only taken when there is a strong confluence of signals, reducing the chances of entering trades during weak or indecisive market phases.
3. **Volume Filtering:**
- The script calculates the average volume over a 20-period simple moving average. The volume filter ensures that buy and sell signals are only valid when the current volume exceeds a multiple of this average, which can be adjusted by the user. This feature helps filter out weak signals that might occur during low-volume periods, such as just before a major news event or during after-hours trading.
- The volume filter is particularly useful in markets where volume spikes are common, as it ensures that signals are only generated when there is significant market interest in the direction of the trend.
4. **Squeeze Momentum:**
- The Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) adds a layer of market pressure analysis. The script calculates Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, detecting when the market is in a "squeeze" — a period of low volatility that typically precedes a significant price move.
- When the Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels, the market is in a squeeze (compression phase). This is often a precursor to a breakout or breakdown. The script colors the histogram bars black during this phase, indicating a potential for a strong move. Once the squeeze is released, the bars are colored according to the direction of the SuperTrend, signaling a potential entry point.
5. **Integration and Signal Generation:**
- The script brings together the SuperTrend, RSI, Volume, and Squeeze Momentum to generate highly accurate buy and sell signals. A buy signal is triggered when the SuperTrend is bullish, the RSI indicates oversold conditions, and the volume filter confirms strong market participation. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the SuperTrend is bearish, the RSI indicates overbought conditions, and the volume filter is met.
- The combination of these elements ensures that the signals are robust, reducing the likelihood of entering trades during weak or indecisive market conditions.
### Practical Applications: How to Use the MultiTrend Squeeze System 📅
1. **Day Trading:**
- For day traders, this indicator provides quick and reliable signals that can be used to enter and exit trades multiple times within a day. The volume filter ensures that you are trading during the most liquid times of the day, increasing the chances of successful trades. The Squeeze Momentum aspect helps you catch breakouts or breakdowns, which are common in intraday trading.
2. **Swing Trading:**
- Swing traders can use the MultiTrend Squeeze System to identify longer-term trends. By adjusting the ATR length and factor, you can make the SuperTrend more sensitive to catch longer-term moves. The RSI and Squeeze Momentum aspects help you time your entries and exits, ensuring that you get in early on a trend and exit before it reverses.
3. **Scalping:**
- For scalpers, the quick signals provided by this system, especially in combination with the volume filter, make it easier to take small profits repeatedly. The histogram bars give you a clear visual cue of the market's momentum, making it easier to scalp effectively.
4. **Position Trading:**
- Even position traders can benefit from this indicator by using it to confirm long-term trends. By adjusting the settings to less sensitive parameters, you can ensure that you are only entering trades when a strong trend is confirmed. The Squeeze Momentum indicator will help you stay in the trade during periods of consolidation, waiting for the next big move.

Whether you're a trend follower, swing trader, or looking to identify key support and resistance zones, the **Uptrick: ACO** is an indispensable tool that can adapt to a variety of market conditions.
### Indicator Purpose and Functionality
#### 1. **Adaptive Trend Detection**
At the heart of the **Uptrick: ACO** lies its adaptive trend detection algorithm. Unlike traditional moving averages that may lag in volatile markets or react too slowly to rapid changes, this adaptive method uses a smoothing technique that dynamically adjusts based on market conditions. By doing so, it provides a more responsive trend line that captures meaningful price movements while filtering out minor fluctuations.
- **How It Works:** The trend line is calculated using an adaptive smoothing factor, making it responsive to recent price actions while maintaining a level of stability that prevents whipsaw signals. This ensures that traders are always in tune with the prevailing market trend, whether bullish, bearish, or neutral.
#### 2. **Dynamic Cloud Support and Resistance**
The **Uptrick: ACO** features a dynamic "cloud" that serves as a key element in its analysis. This cloud is constructed using a moving average combined with the Average True Range (ATR), which adjusts based on the market’s volatility. The cloud provides dynamic support and resistance levels, essential for identifying potential reversal zones or confirming trend continuations.
- **Cloud Displacement:** The cloud is displaced forward by a user-defined number of bars, offering a predictive view of where future support and resistance levels may lie. This forward-looking feature helps traders anticipate potential price movements, making the ACO a powerful tool for planning trades ahead of time.
#### 3. **Versatile Visualization Options**
The **Uptrick: ACO** is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing users to choose between two distinct display modes:
- **Buy/Sell Signals:** In this mode, the indicator generates clear buy and sell signals based on crossovers of the trend line and the cloud boundaries. These signals are visualized directly on the chart with up and down labels, making it easy for traders to identify potential entry and exit points.
- **Cloud Fill Only:** For traders who prefer a cleaner chart, this mode removes the buy/sell signals and instead focuses on coloring the area between the upper and lower cloud boundaries. The color of the cloud fill changes based on the trend direction, providing a visual representation of the market's momentum.
- **Optional EMA Line:** An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) line can be optionally displayed on the chart. The EMA serves as an additional trend filter, helping traders further refine their entries and exits. The length, color, and thickness of the EMA are fully customizable to fit individual trading strategies.
### Practical Applications
#### 1. **Trend Following and Reversals**
The **Uptrick: ACO** excels in identifying and following trends. By analyzing the relationship between the trend line and the cloud, traders can determine the strength and direction of the current market trend. The cloud’s dynamic nature means it can adapt to both trending and ranging markets, providing consistent insights regardless of market conditions.
- **Example:** If the trend line crosses above the upper cloud boundary, it signals a potential buy opportunity. Conversely, a cross below the lower cloud boundary suggests a sell opportunity. Traders can use these signals to enter trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
#### 2. **Support and Resistance Identification**
The forward-displaced cloud acts as a predictive support and resistance zone. Traders can use these zones to set stop-loss levels, determine take-profit targets, or identify potential reversal points.
- **Example:** When the price approaches the upper cloud boundary from below, the boundary may act as resistance, indicating a potential reversal or pullback. If the price breaks through this level, it may signal a continuation of the bullish trend.

Uptrick: Adaptive Trend Strength Index (ATSI)### **Adaptive Trend Strength Index (ATSI): Trend Detection Tool**
---
### Introduction
The **Adaptive Trend Strength Index (ATSI)** is a state-of-the-art indicator designed to offer traders an unparalleled view into market trends. By combining the principles of adaptive trend analysis with advanced volatility filtering, ATSI provides a powerful and visually intuitive method for identifying and following market trends. Its unique algorithm and customizable features make it an essential tool for traders across all markets—whether you're trading stocks, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies.
### The Purpose and Design Philosophy
At its core, the ATSI was built with the understanding that financial markets are dynamic, ever-changing entities influenced by a multitude of factors, including market sentiment, economic data, geopolitical events, and, critically, volatility. Traditional trend indicators often fall short by either over-smoothing price data (thus lagging behind the actual trend) or reacting too quickly to minor price fluctuations, resulting in false signals.
**ATSI solves this dilemma by adapting to market conditions in real-time.** It effectively filters out market noise while being sensitive enough to detect meaningful shifts in trend direction. The result is a trend line that is both responsive and smooth, providing traders with a clear, actionable view of the market's current trajectory.
### Key Features and Functionality
#### 1. **Adaptive Trend Calculation**
The heart of ATSI is its adaptive trend algorithm, which adjusts based on market conditions. It leverages a combination of price action analysis and volatility filtering to determine the strength and direction of the trend. Here’s how it works:
- **Volatility Sensitivity:** ATSI incorporates the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. This volatility measure is then adjusted by a user-defined sensitivity factor. This ensures that the indicator responds dynamically to different market environments—be it high-volatility breakouts or low-volatility consolidations.
- **Adaptive Smoothing:** The trend calculation is further enhanced by an exponential moving average (EMA) applied not just to the raw price data, but also to the resulting trend line itself. This dual-layer smoothing process helps to eliminate noise, resulting in a cleaner and more reliable trend line.
- **Real-Time Adaptation:** Unlike rigid indicators that require constant tweaking to stay relevant in changing market conditions, ATSI adapts in real-time. This adaptability makes it particularly valuable in fast-moving markets where conditions can change rapidly.
#### 2. **Visual Clarity**
In trading, visual clarity can make the difference between spotting a lucrative trend and missing out. ATSI excels in this regard by offering a clear, color-coded trend line that provides instant feedback on market conditions:
- **Thicker and Smoother Line:** ATSI’s trend line is designed to be visually prominent. By default, it is thicker than most standard indicators, making it easy to spot even in dense charts. Additionally, the smoothing applied to the line ensures that it flows smoothly, avoiding the jagged, noisy appearance that can plague other indicators.
- **Color-Coded Trends:** The trend line changes color based on the direction and strength of the trend:
- **Green Line**: Indicates a bullish trend, suggesting upward momentum in the market.
- **Red Line**: Indicates a bearish trend, signaling downward momentum.
- **Gold Line**: Represents a neutral or weak trend, where the market is consolidating or where there is no clear direction.
This color-coding is not just for aesthetics—it’s a critical feature that allows traders to quickly assess market conditions at a glance.
#### 3. **Customizable Parameters**
ATSI is built with the understanding that every trader’s strategy is unique. Whether you’re a day trader looking for short-term trends or a swing trader interested in catching longer moves, ATSI can be tailored to fit your needs:
- **Trend Length:** The length parameter controls how much historical data is considered in the trend calculation. A shorter length will make the indicator more sensitive to recent price changes, while a longer length will smooth out short-term fluctuations, focusing on the broader trend.
- **Smoothing Factor:** This parameter controls the level of smoothing applied to the trend line. A higher smoothing factor will result in a smoother, more stable trend line, while a lower factor will make the line more responsive to quick changes in price.
- **Volatility Sensitivity:** By adjusting the volatility sensitivity, you can control how reactive the indicator is to market volatility. A higher sensitivity makes the indicator more likely to detect trends in volatile markets, while a lower sensitivity helps to filter out noise in calmer markets.
- **Line Width:** ATSI allows you to adjust the thickness of the trend line, ensuring that it stands out on your chart. This is particularly useful when trading on charts with a lot of overlays or when you need a clear, bold line to guide your trading decisions.
- **Color Customization:** The colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral trends can be fully customized to match your personal preferences or to integrate seamlessly with your existing chart setup.
### Practical Applications
ATSI is a versatile indicator that can be applied to a wide range of trading strategies. Here’s how it can enhance your trading:
#### 1. **Trend Following**
For traders who thrive on catching and riding trends, ATSI is a game-changer. Its adaptive nature ensures that you stay in the trend for as long as possible without being shaken out by minor fluctuations. The clear color-coded line makes it easy to identify when a trend starts and ends, providing clear entry and exit signals.
#### 2. **Risk Management**
One of the biggest challenges in trading is managing risk, particularly in volatile markets. ATSI’s volatility sensitivity feature helps traders adjust their strategies based on current market conditions. For example, in a high-volatility environment, the indicator will become more sensitive, allowing you to tighten your stop losses or take profits earlier. Conversely, in a low-volatility market, the indicator will smooth out minor fluctuations, reducing the risk of being stopped out prematurely.
#### 3. **Trend Reversals and Consolidations**
ATSI is also highly effective in identifying trend reversals and periods of consolidation. The neutral (gold) line indicates periods where the market is undecided, which can often precede significant moves. Recognizing these periods can help you avoid getting caught in choppy markets and position yourself for the next big move.
#### 4. **Market Timing**
Timing the market is often seen as the holy grail of trading. While no indicator can predict the future with 100% accuracy, ATSI’s real-time adaptation gives you a significant edge. By responding to changes in market conditions as they happen, ATSI helps you make timely decisions, whether you’re entering a trade, exiting a position, or adjusting your risk parameters.
### Comparative Advantage
What sets ATSI apart from other trend indicators is its combination of adaptability, visual clarity, and ease of use:
- **Adaptability:** Most trend indicators are static—they apply the same calculations regardless of market conditions. ATSI, however, adapts to the market in real-time, ensuring that it remains relevant and reliable across different market environments.
- **Visual Clarity:** The thicker, smoother, color-coded line is not just aesthetically pleasing—it’s a functional design choice that helps you quickly interpret market conditions.

Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System
### **Overview**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a complex trading indicator designed to help traders identify potential bullish and bearish imbalances in the market, coupled with a trailing stop mechanism to manage trades. The indicator uses a combination of moving averages, Average True Range (ATR), and custom logic to detect trading signals and plot various levels on the chart to assist traders in making informed decisions.
### **Key Components and Functionality**
#### 1. **Inputs and Configuration**
- **Imbalance Filter (`imbalanceFilter`)**: This input sets the filter for detecting imbalances based on the difference between two price points. The value is a float and can be adjusted to fine-tune the sensitivity of imbalance detection. The default value is `0.0`, with a step size of `0.1`.
- **Moving Average Settings (`maLength1`, `maLength2`, `maColor1`, `maColor2`)**:
- `maLength1` and `maLength2` define the lengths of the two moving averages used in the indicator. By default, they are set to `50` and `200` periods, respectively.
- `maColor1` and `maColor2` specify the colors of these moving averages on the chart. The first MA is colored blue, and the second is red.
- **Take Profit and Stop Loss Settings (`displayTP`, `tpMultiplier`, `tpColor`, `displaySL`, `slMultiplier`, `slColor`)**:
- `displayTP` and `displaySL` are boolean inputs that control whether the TP and SL areas are displayed on the chart.
- `tpMultiplier` and `slMultiplier` are multipliers used to calculate the TP and SL levels relative to the detected imbalance level using the ATR value.
- `tpColor` and `slColor` define the colors of these areas. The TP area is green (with a transparency of 50), and the SL area is red (with a transparency of 50).
- **Trailing Stop Settings (`trailMultiplier`)**: This setting determines the multiplier used to calculate the trailing stop level based on the ATR value. The default multiplier is `2.5`.
- **Style Settings (`bullishColor`, `bearishColor`)**:
- `bullishColor` and `bearishColor` set the colors for bullish and bearish zones created when an imbalance is detected. The bullish zone is green, and the bearish zone is red.
- **Signal Label Size (`labelSizeOption`)**: The size of the signal labels displayed on the chart can be adjusted. The options include `Tiny`, `Small`, `Normal`, `Large`, and `Huge`. The selected size affects the visual prominence of the labels.
#### 2. **ATR Calculation (`atrValue`)**
- The ATR value is calculated using a period of 14, which is a standard setting for measuring market volatility. This value is used extensively throughout the indicator to calculate TP, SL, and trailing stop levels.
#### 3. **Imbalance Detection and Zone Creation**
- The indicator detects potential imbalances in the market by comparing certain price points, using a custom function (`imbalanceCondition`).
- **Bullish Imbalance Detection (`bullishSignal`)**:
- A bullish imbalance is detected when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of one bar ago, and the current close is above the low of three bars ago.
- Additional conditions include checking that the current close is above the calculated average of the two moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`), and that the imbalance exceeds the threshold set by the `imbalanceFilter`.
- **Bearish Imbalance Detection (`bearishSignal`)**:
- A bearish imbalance is detected under conditions where the low of one bar ago is higher than the high of three bars ago, and the current close is below the high of three bars ago.
- Like the bullish signal, the close must also be below the average of the two moving averages, and the imbalance must exceed the `imbalanceFilter` threshold.
- Upon detection of an imbalance (either bullish or bearish), the indicator creates a zone using `box.new` that highlights the price range of the imbalance. The box color corresponds to the bullish or bearish nature of the signal.
- The center of the imbalance range is marked with a dashed line, and a corresponding label (`🔴` for bearish and `🟢` for bullish) is placed on the chart to indicate the detected signal.
#### 4. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Calculation (`calculateTPSL`)**
- When an imbalance is detected, the indicator calculates potential TP and SL levels based on the ATR value and the respective multipliers.
- If the TP or SL areas are enabled, the indicator plots these areas as colored boxes on the chart.
- The function also tracks whether these levels are hit by subsequent price action, updating the status (`reached`) as appropriate.
#### 5. **Trailing Stop Logic (`applyTrailingStop`)**
- The trailing stop feature is a dynamic mechanism that adjusts the stop level as the price moves in the trader's favor.
- The trailing stop is calculated using the ATR value multiplied by the `trailMultiplier`.
- If the trailing stop is triggered (i.e., the price crosses the trailing stop level), the indicator marks the trade as stopped out.
#### 6. **Plotting and Visualization**
- The indicator plots the two moving averages on the chart with the specified colors and line width.
- If a trailing stop is active, it plots the trailing stop level on the chart, updating as the stop moves.
- The bar color changes based on the status of the current signal and whether the trailing stop or TP/SL levels have been hit.
### **Detailed Execution Flow**
1. **Initialization**: The indicator initializes several variables, including lines, boxes, and the current signal state. This setup ensures that the script can dynamically update these elements as new price data comes in.
2. **Moving Average Calculation**: The moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`) are calculated using simple moving average (SMA) functions, which are foundational for many of the indicator's conditions.
3. **Imbalance Detection**: The script evaluates price action to detect potential bullish or bearish imbalances, applying filters based on the user-defined `imbalanceFilter`.
4. **Zone Creation and Labeling**: Upon detecting an imbalance, the script creates visual zones on the chart using the `box.new` function and labels the zones for easy identification.
5. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Logic**: The TP and SL areas are calculated and plotted if the relevant settings are enabled. The script continuously checks if these levels are reached as new bars form.
6. **Trailing Stop Calculation**: The script dynamically adjusts the trailing stop level based on the price movement and ATR value. The trailing stop helps lock in profits as the trade progresses.
7. **Plotting**: The moving averages, trailing stop levels, and bar colors are plotted on the chart, providing a visual representation of the indicator's signals and trade management levels.
8. **Final Checks and Updates**: The script concludes each bar's processing by updating the status of various elements, such as whether levels have been reached or if the trailing stop has been triggered.
### **Conclusion**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a highly versatile indicator designed for traders who want to identify market imbalances and manage their trades effectively using a combination of moving averages, ATR-based calculations, and custom logic. The indicator offers a wide range of customization options, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of imbalance detection, the size of the signal labels, and the visibility of various trade management levels (TP, SL, and trailing stop).
The combination of these features makes it a powerful tool for both novice and experienced traders, providing clear visual cues and robust trade management capabilities directly on the chart.
Uptrick: EMA Trend Indicator
### Overview
The goal of this script is to visually indicate on a trading chart whether all three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are trending upwards (i.e., their slopes are positive). If all EMAs are trending upwards, the script will color the bars green. If not, the bars will be colored red.
### Key Concepts
1. **Exponential Moving Average (EMA)**: An EMA is a type of moving average that places more weight on recent data, making it more responsive to price changes compared to a simple moving average (SMA). In this script, we use three different EMAs with different lengths (20, 50, and 200 periods).
2. **Slope of an EMA**: The slope of an EMA refers to the direction in which the EMA is moving. If the current value of the EMA is higher than its value in the previous bar, the slope is positive (upward). Conversely, if the current value is lower than its previous value, the slope is negative (downward).
3. **Bar Color Coding**: The script changes the color of the bars on the chart to provide a visual cue:
- **Green Bars**: Indicate that all three EMAs are trending upwards.
- **Red Bars**: Indicate that one or more EMAs are not trending upwards.
### Detailed Breakdown
#### 1. Input Fields
- **EMA Lengths**: The script starts by allowing the user to input the lengths for the three EMAs. These lengths determine how many periods (e.g., days) are used to calculate each EMA.
- `ema20_length` is set to 20, meaning the first EMA uses the last 20 bars of data.
- `ema50_length` is set to 50, meaning the second EMA uses the last 50 bars of data.
- `ema200_length` is set to 200, meaning the third EMA uses the last 200 bars of data.
#### 2. EMA Calculation
- The script calculates the values of the three EMAs:
- **EMA 20**: This is calculated using the last 20 bars of closing prices.
- **EMA 50**: This is calculated using the last 50 bars of closing prices.
- **EMA 200**: This is calculated using the last 200 bars of closing prices.
These calculations result in three values for each bar on the chart, each representing the EMA value at that point in time.
#### 3. Determining EMA Slopes
- **EMA Slopes**: To understand the trend of each EMA, the script compares the current value of each EMA to its value in the previous bar:
- For the 20-period EMA, the script checks if today’s EMA value is higher than yesterday’s EMA value.
- This process is repeated for the 50-period and 200-period EMAs.
- If today’s EMA value is greater than yesterday’s value, the slope is positive (upward).
- If today’s EMA value is not greater (it is either equal to or less than yesterday’s value), the slope is not positive.
#### 4. Evaluating All Slopes
- **All Slopes Positive Condition**: The script combines the results of the individual slope checks into a single condition. It uses a logical "AND" operation:
- The condition will be `true` only if all three EMAs (20, 50, and 200) have positive slopes.
- If any one of the EMAs does not have a positive slope, the condition will be `false`.
#### 5. Coloring the Bars
- **Bar Coloring Logic**: Based on the above condition, the script decides the color of each bar on the chart:
- If all slopes are positive (condition is `true`), the bar is colored green.
- If any slope is not positive (condition is `false`), the bar is colored red.
- **Visual Cue**: This provides a quick, visual indication to traders:
- Green bars suggest that the market is in an upward trend across all three EMAs, which might indicate a strong bullish trend.
- Red bars suggest that the trend is not uniformly upward, which could be a sign of weakening momentum or a potential reversal.
#### 6. Alerts
- **Alert Conditions**: The script also allows for alert conditions to be set based on the slope analysis:
- An alert can be triggered when all EMA slopes are positive. This might be useful for traders who want to be notified when the market shows strong upward momentum.
### Summary
- The script essentially takes the market data and applies three different EMAs to it, each with a different time frame.
- It then checks the direction (slope) of each of these EMAs to determine if they are all trending upwards.
- If they are, the script colors the bar green, signaling a potentially strong bullish trend.
- If any of the EMAs is not trending upwards, it colors the bar red, indicating a potential issue with the strength of the trend.
This approach helps traders quickly assess market conditions based on multiple EMAs, providing a clearer picture of the overall trend across different time frames.
Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal DetectorDetailed Explanation of the "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" Script
The "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" script is a sophisticated tool designed for the TradingView platform, leveraging Pine Script version 5. This script is crafted to enhance traders' ability to identify bullish (buy) and bearish (sell) signals directly on their trading charts. By combining the power of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicators, this script provides a unique and efficient method for detecting potential trading opportunities. Below is an in-depth exploration of its purpose, features, and functionality.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this script is to assist traders in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market by signaling bullish and bearish conditions. This automated detection helps traders make more informed decisions without the need to manually analyze complex indicators. By overlaying signals directly on the price chart, the script allows for quick visual identification of market trends and reversals.
Uniqueness
What sets this script apart is its dual use of MACD and RSI indicators. While many trading strategies might rely on a single indicator, combining MACD and RSI enhances the reliability of the signals by filtering out false positives. The script not only identifies trends but also adds a layer of confirmation through the RSI, which measures the speed and change of price movements.
Inputs and Features
Customizable Label Appearance:
The script allows users to customize the appearance of the labels that indicate bullish and bearish signals. Users can set their preferred colors for the labels and the text, ensuring that the signals are easily distinguishable and aesthetically pleasing on their charts.
MACD Calculation:
The script calculates the MACD line and signal line using user-defined input values for the fast length, slow length, and signal length. The MACD histogram, which is the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, is used to determine the momentum of the market.
RSI Calculation:
The RSI is calculated using a user-defined input length. The RSI helps in identifying overbought or oversold conditions, which are crucial for confirming the strength of the trend detected by the MACD.
Bullish and Bearish Conditions:
The script defines bullish conditions as those where the MACD histogram is positive and the RSI is above 50. Bearish conditions are defined where the MACD histogram is negative and the RSI is below 50. This combination of conditions ensures that signals are generated based on both momentum and relative strength, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
Label Plotting:
The script plots labels on the chart to indicate bullish and bearish signals. When a bullish condition is met, and the previous signal was not bullish, a "LONG" label is plotted. Similarly, when a bearish condition is met, and the previous signal was not bearish, a "SHORT" label is plotted. This feature helps in clearly marking the points of interest for traders, making it easier to spot potential trades.
Tracking Previous Signals:
To avoid repetitive signals, the script keeps track of the last signal. If the last signal was bullish, it avoids plotting another bullish signal immediately. The same logic applies to bearish signals. This tracking ensures that signals are spaced out and only significant changes in market conditions are highlighted.
How It Works
The script operates in a loop, processing each bar (or candlestick) on the chart as new data comes in. It calculates the MACD and RSI values for each bar and checks if the current conditions meet the criteria for a bullish or bearish signal. If a signal is detected and it is different from the last signal, a label is plotted on the chart at the current bar's price level. This real-time processing allows traders to see the signals as they form, providing timely insights into market movements.
Practical Application
For practical use, a trader would add this script to their TradingView chart. They can customize the input parameters for the MACD and RSI calculations to fit their trading strategy or preferred settings. Once added, the script will automatically analyze the price data and start plotting "LONG" and "SHORT" labels based on the detected signals. Traders can then use these labels to make decisions on entering or exiting trades, adjusting their strategy as necessary based on the signals provided.
Conclusion
The "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" script is a powerful tool for any trader looking to leverage technical indicators for better trading decisions. By combining MACD and RSI, it offers a robust method for detecting market trends and potential reversals. The customizable features and real-time signal plotting make it a versatile and user-friendly addition to any trading toolkit. This script not only simplifies the process of technical analysis but also enhances the accuracy of trading signals, thereby potentially increasing the trader's success rate in the market.
