Position Tools [Lot,Profit,Loss,Entry,RR,Balance][Mir Nader]This indicator is the advanced version of the position tool in Trading View. When I opened a trade in Metatrader, I had to switch between the MetaTrader and Trading View programs for the amount of profit or loss, that's why I thought of writing an indicator that shows the exact amount of profit, loss, size and other values of the open trade. It came to my mind.
Also, when you use the reply section for backtesting, this indicator helps you to use all the necessary information in each Trade to accurately calculate Trades.
To enter, it is enough to specify the three entry points, target and stop loss according to the message that is displayed to you, so that all the necessary information will be displayed for you.
Well, let's get to the main explanation about how the indicator works :
The indicator consists of two parts :
1 - the calculation table
2 - trade on the chart
Calculation table
This table shows the exact calculations of your trade live.
As you can see, this table consists of 10 sections, which I will describe each.
1 - Your trade entry point on the chart
2 - Your Stop Loss point along with the loss Pip amount
3 - Your Take Profit point along with the Profit Pip amount
4- The fourth part of the table, which is the most important part in my view, shows your current profit amount according to the risk percentage and your Broker Commission per Lot you have defined for Trade, and according to the balance, risk, Tp and Sl value, just like a Risk Management. It suggests the volume of your input based on the lot.
5 - Show the percentage change of the main market according to your trade live
6 - Display the value of Risk to Reward both according to Target Profit and live
7 - This section and the next section of the table show the amount of profit live according to the amount of the lot determined by you and without the risk of the transaction.
8 - Display the current amount of your balance according to whether the trade is in profit or loss
trade on the chart
The second part of the indicator includes the events that are being displayed on your chart
This section supports three types of display modes for buying or selling trades.
The first condition of your trade is that the price has not yet reached the entry point.
The second state is your trade that has not yet hit your target or stop
And the third state of your trade is that your target or stop has been hit.
Further Details :
I am still working on many conditions to add to the indicator and this will take more time.
For example, showing RR live on the chart after each touch has been added for buying Trade but this part is still problematic for selling Trade In the picture below, you can see that your Trade has already passed 3R profit
I have placed three labels next to each Trade for you so that you can see the values of Tp, Stop and Live without needing a table. These values will soon be visible with more options.
All calculations with precise mathematical formulas for accurate performance have been done by myself.
I will be at your service soon with more updates, I will be happy if you send me your suggestions to improve the indicator.
Options
Round Numbers Breakouts Smart Formula Signals and AlertsThis indicator uses Round Numbers breakouts and then uses smart formula with the near Round Numbers to determine best TP (take profit)/SL (stop loss) areas. Furthermore, it calculates win percentage, shows in-profit/in-loss peaks and the price amount result over a customizable date range, which when combined well with the smart formula provides decent profitable outcome. I have decided to write my own backtesting engine as the integrated TradingView strategy one has limitations and has shown inconsistencies when compared to manual backtesting…
There are many settings you can manually change to trade any instrument, any style, any approach and there are presets included for Bitcoin(BTCUSD), FOREX(EURUSD), SPY(S&P500), so you can start trading immediately! Alerts correspond to indicator settings and are turned on with a few clicks. There are 3 tables (each can be shown/hidden) showing everything you need to see/know to calibrate the indicator as you wish.
Labels, lines, tables explanations (everything can be hidden/shown):
- LONG Labels: medium-green: position open, dark-green: SL, bright-green: TP, blue: TP2
- SHORT Labels: medium-red: position open, dark-red: SL, bright-red: TP, purple: TP2
- Gray circles: position entry area | Yellow crosses: SL area
- Green line: Long TP1, Blue line: Long TP2 | Red Line: Short TP1, Purple line: Short TP2
- Grey lines: Round Numbers (customized via “Round Number up/down measure unit” input)
- Yellow labels at end of each week: end of week OVERALL total results
- Red colored background: power segment
- 3 tables: 1) INFO | STATS, 2) SPY Options Calculator, 3) Indicator Settings
If you decide to fully customize the indicator yourself, on the very top - under “PRESETS” select “MANUAL”! NOTE: If you select any of the pre-set presets, only GLOBAL settings can be changed, the rest of the settings will be “frozen” until you switch it to “MANUAL”!
- Global Settings are self-explanatory and mainly observational, show/hide, etc.
- Manual TP2 (Multi-Take-Profit) Settings:
>>>>> Include TP2 System? Turn on/off multi-profit system, with this unchecked, every trade will either end with SL or with TP1.
>>>>> TP2 System: NEAREST/FORMULA, NEAREST – after TP1 is taken > next TP2 will be a round number price target nearest to where TP1 was taken (sometimes it can be very near, sometimes further away…), FORMULA – 2nd round number price target will be optimally selected based on the distance behind and ahead of TP1 area. For TP2 – FORMULA would be the most logical choice as with multi-take-profit setting turned on – you’d want to ride it out as far as possible.
>>>>> TP1/TP2 division type: 1) Each price target (TP1, TP2) will be ½ of the position 2) TP1 will be 2/3 of the position and TP2 will be the remaining 1/3.
>>>>> TP2 hit type: “close” > candle has to close on top/crossing the price target line, “touch” > once candle touches the price target – you will be immediately alerted to take the partial profit (if you will use such setting – you will need to take the partial profits as soon as you receive the alert.
>>>>> TP1 > Back to Entry hit type: similar to TP2, “close” > candle close, “touch” > candle touch. Please note: this is a very tricky setting as if you use “close” option – your profitable trade may become a loss if a huge candle will close against your position eliminating your TP1 profit, however often the price will touch and cross the entry area to only bounce and continue with your position direction for even bigger profits… so experiment with the date range results to see what works best for your instrument/setting/strategy.
>>>>> TP2 count towards trades count: this can be a bit confusing, but it is simply how should TP2 be treated towards trades count. The indicator will show you Win Percentage and Win % is obtained from winning trades count divided by total trades count. While TP2 is not “a new trade”, it expands the profit of the trade. This is an experimental setting to count TP2 as the whole winning trade, ½ of a trade, or not count it at all.
- Manual Signals/TP1 Settings:
>>>>> TP1/TP2 offset: this one is really cool, with this feature you can hunt these conditions when the price comes very near the profit target area, but never touches it. With this setting turned on and with a good offset amount – you will be able to catch these for TP1 and TP2!
>>>>> TP1/TP2 offset amount: just what the title says, please be careful with this as this number varies significantly depending on the instrument you will be trading. Examples: 1) For SPY 0.1 would be $0.10 offset - if TP1 is $400 and price hits $399.90 > TP1 considered taken/signal shown/alert) | 2) For EURUSD, it is very different and if wrong will show TP1 immediately at position open, typical good offset for EURUSD is: 0.0005 | 3) For BTCUSD, 10 - $10 offset, if TP is $15,000 > $14,990, etc.
>>>>> Round Number up/down measure unit (in dollars $): this one is very important if you will be using “MANUAL” selection to build your own setup as it is very different for every instrument. For SPY, round numbers are single dollars or even half-dollar 50 cent numbers: 1 or 0.5 (350, 351, 352, etc. or 350.50, 351, 351.50, 352, etc.), while for Bitcoin (BTCUSD) a single unit ($1) is too small to be a round number as Bitoin moves much faster and wider every second and it would have to be at least 50 ($50) to make sense. Similar for FOREX (EUR/USD) a single 1 unit ($1) will be too big as EURUSD will never move a whole $1 in 15 minutes or even a day.. and would have to be something like 1.05500. You can easily determine if this number makes sense for your instrument by observing the grey Round Number lines which will correspond based on this setting. You can also visually observer if the price of the instrument appreciates these round numbers.
>>>>> Close Position Before Market Closes: just what the title says. Indicator will close the position 15 minutes before market closes (US session), update backtesting stats, alert you.
>>>>> Close Position Before Power Hour: 3PM – 4PM ET is the last hour of US trading session, where sudden move in any direction can happen with huge volatility, while sometimes nothing will happen at all… Many try to avoid it, so if you wish to avoid it as well - turn this on and it will alert you to close your positions 15 minutes before Power Hour starts, backtesting/stats will be adjusted accordingly.
>>>>> Skip OVERSIZED candles in signals: turn on this setting to skip signals, which happen to fall on big candles. This is basically a protection from huge volatility moves, which usually happen during financial news/events and if you are not a fan of these – you can set this option for indicator to not open anything based on the candle size.
>>>>> Color OVERSIZED candles: this will help you calibrate the size of the OVERSIZED candles if you decide to use this setting and overall visually see them.
>>>>> OVERSIZED candle size: OVERSIZED candle size must be input as it varies significantly. Please note: for each instrument – the size number is completely different, as for SPY: 2 would mean any candle bigger than $2 distance will be considered OVERSIZED, for Bitcoin it would have to be several hundred dollars, like 400-500. For FOREX, this would have to be a decimal, for EURUSD something like 0.0005. It’s best to experiment visually with this setting depending on the instrument you will be trading while setting up the size. To see a typical huge unusual candle – look up financial calendar for something like FOMC meeting, then measure the candle input it into this setting.
>>>>> OVERSIZED candle size calculation type: this is just more flexibility for your preference. If you wish to calculate the size of the candle based on the open/close – select “BODY”, if you wish to use high/low – select “STICKS (from tip to tip)”. Hard to say which one is better, so it is up to you to decide.
>>>>> Include EMA in signal formula: LONG signals will only be shown only if above EMA, SHORT if below EMA. EMA length is of course customizable in below.
>>>>> Skip opposite candle types in signals: signals where the candle color confirms the direction of the trade, but the candle type is opposite (like a green colored bearish hammer for example) will be avoided (such candles can be very uncertain/deceptive).
>>>>> Skip doji: signals where the signal candle is doji (uncertain) will be avoided.
>>>>> TP1 hit type/system: same thing as TP2 hit type/system.
>>>>> SL hit type/system: same as TP1 and TP2 types/systems.
>>>>> Intraday Session Signals Active Time in ET: time range during the day when indicator will show signals (open trades, alert you, etc.). This is specifically for intraday trading. You can turn it off completely by selecting a BLANK option.
>>>>> Intraday TP/SL Active Time in ET: same as above, but for taking profits/stop losses.

Generalized Smooth StepHello, folks. Sorry for not posting anything for a long time, just busy with my university studies for the moment.
Quick script for today — Smooth Step.
You can search for it in Wikipedia, but saying shortly and informatively, this is just an advanced type of oscillator, used as momentum indicator.
In the codes across the Internet everybody uses the 3rd order equation, BUT I found it kinda boring to use indicator this simple, so I made an option to choose the order of the equation in the settings — parameter "Order of the equation". This why it is called generalized smooth step, as it makes possible to use equation of virtually any order.
It is limited to 18 because very strange behaviour that you get after passing 18th order (it jsut becomes not tradeable any longer).
As I've mentioned above, it is an advanced version of classical oscillator, used as momentum indicator .
How to use it?
If smooth step is above 50, then the price momentum is bullish;
If smooth step is below 50, then the price momentum is bearish.
As simple as it is, it becomes useful enough on the higher timeframes (>=1H), so feel free to play with it and find optimal settings for yourself.
Hints
Try perform different smoothing and leading methods (developed by Ehler) to get better results;
You can use smooth step as confirmation/filter for trend-following trades.
Hope you will find it valueable.
Take your profits!

RU:
Привет, ребята. Извините, что долго ничего не выкладывал, просто сейчас занят учебой в университете.
Быстрый скрипт на сегодня — Smooth Step.
Вы можете поискать его теоретическое обоснование в Википедии, но если говорить кратко и информативно, то это совершенствованный тип классического осциллятора, используемый в качестве моментум-индикатора .
В кодах в интернете все используют уравнение 3-го порядка, НО Мне было скучно пользоваться таким простым индикатором, поэтому я сделал возможность выбирать порядок уравнения в настройках — параметр " Порядок уравнения». Поэтому он называется обобщеннымsmooth step, так как позволяет использовать уравнение практически любого порядка.
Я ограничил порядок уравнения 18 , потому что индикатор показывает начинается очень странное поведение, когда вы делаете порядок больше 18 (индикатор просто начинается вести семя хаотично, что ли).
Как я уже упоминал выше, это усовершенствованная версия классического осциллятора, используемого в качестве моментум-индикатора .
Как им пользоваться?
Если smooth step выше 50, то импульс цены бычий;
Если smooth steз\p ниже 50, то импульс цены медвежий.
Хоть это и очень простой индикатор, он может оказаться достаточно полезным на старших таймфреймах (>=1H), так что не стесняйтесь играть с ним и находить оптимальные настройки для себя.
Советы
Попробуйте использовать различные методы сглаживания и лидирования (разработан Джоном Элером (John Ehler)), чтобы получить лучшие результаты;
Вы можете использовать smooth step в качестве подтверждения/фильтра для сделок, следующих за трендом.
Надеюсь, этот скрипт будет вам полезен.
Получите прибыль!

Orb breakout Buy condition =>ORB range 9:20-9:25. On 5 min TF if candle breaks high and next candle break high of that candle. buy signal when third candle breaks high of 2nd candle
Sell condition=>ORB range 9:20-9:25. On 5 min TF if candle breaks low and next candle break low of that candle. sell signal when third candle breaks low of 2nd candle
this indicator is extended version of my previous indicator i got a comment request from @RISHISAKHARE to devlope indicator based on above mention rule ....
SPX IC Intraday & StatsThis indicator was designed for traders who make intraday Iron Condors with the SPX.
It basically has 2 main parts:
Part 1:
The indicator shows the distance, in real time, between the current SPX price and the IC selling wings (calls and puts wings) that have been selected. This result is displayed in percentages and in points. In the upper right corner (for calls) and lower right corner (for puts). The label will change color as the price moves closer to or further away from the sell strike. Darker red color as it approaches the wings, lighter green color as the price approaches the center of the Iron Condor.
Part 2:
Statistical dashboard showing the number of times in the past that from a certain hour (the current time) to the market close (4pm US East Time) the SPX moved outside or inside the width of the selected wings. The position of the table is configurable. By default, it's in the upper right corner.
Dashboard:
First Date: the first day of the sample (this varies depending on the timeframe, the higher the timeframe the larger the sample is, as TradingView counts more bars backwards, by default TV offers 10000 bars for the PRO version). Recommended 5 minutes.
Range Time: refers to the time range of the sample. From the current time to 4pm (US East Time).
Deviation Wing (%): It's the deviation (in percentage) based on the current time, from the current SPX price to the wing strikes. It takes the smaller value, either call or put wing.
Total Days: the number of days in the sample.
In range Days: the number of days that the price remained in that range from the current time to the market close.
Out of Range Days: the number of days the price ended outside that range from the current time to the market close.
Configuration:
Open Time (Hour): IC opening hour.
Open time (Minute): IC opening minutes.
Width Wings: width of the wings from the SPX price at the configured time.
Mini Rectangles: Refers to include within the IC 4 deviations (mini rectangles) to better visualize where the SPX price is with reference to the wings. Darker red color as it gets closer to the wings, lighter green color as the price gets closer to the center of the Iron Condor.
Add SMAs: Add SMAs 8, 20 and 50 to the IC chart.
Include Fundamental Days: Include or not in the sample important news days. They are considered: FED Meetings, CPI Reports, Unemployment Reports, Powell Speech.
Include Days: (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday). Include (or not) in the sample the chosen days.
Apply Filters Since: Sampling start date. Per default: False.
Table Position: Dashboard position.
Note 1: It's recommended to use the Dark Theme Color of TradingView.
Note 2: this indicator will only work in intraday timeframes less than 30 minutes (1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m) and will only show results while the market is open.
************************************
Spanish Version:
Este indicador fue diseñado para los traders que hacen intradías de Iron Condors con el SPX.
Básicamente cuenta con 2 partes principales:
Parte 1:
El indicador muestra la distancia, en tiempo real, entre el actual precio del SPX y las alas vendedoras (alas calls y puts) que se hayan seleccionado. Este resultado se muestra en porcentajes y en puntos. En la esquina superior derecha (para los calls) e inferior derecha (para los puts). El label cambiará de color a medida que el precio se acerque o aleje del precio de las alas. Color rojo más oscuro a medida que se acerque a las alas, color verde claro cuando el precio se acerque al centro del Iron Condor.
Parte 2:
Dashboard estadístico que muestra la cantidad de veces que desde una determinada hora (el tiempo actual) hasta el cierre del mercado (4pm US East Time) el SPX se movió fuera o dentro del ancho de las alas seleccionadas. La posición de la tabla es configurable. Por defecto esta en la esquina superior derecha.
Dashboard:
First Date: el primer día de la muestra (esto varía dependiendo el timeframe, a mayor timeframe la muestra es mayor, ya que TradingView contará más barras para atrás (por default TV ofrece 10000 barras para la versión PRO). Recomendado 5 minutos.
Range Time: se refiere al rango horario de la muestra. Desde la hora actual hasta las 4pm (US East Time)
Deviation Wing (%): Es la desviación en porcentaje en base a la hora actual, desde el precio actual del SPX hasta el ancho de las alas. Toma el menor valor, sea al ala call o al ala put.
Total Days: la cantidad de días de la muestra.
In range Days: la cantidad de días que el precio se mantuvo en ese rango desde la hora actual hasta el cierre del mercado
Out of Range Days: la cantidad de días que el precio terminó fuera de ese rango desde la hora actual hasta el cierre del mercado.
Configuración:
Open Time (Hour): Hora de apertura del IC.
Open time (Minute): Minutos de apertura del IC.
Width Wings: ancho de las alas desde el precio del SPX a la hora configurada.
MiniRectangles: Se refiere a incluir dentro del IC 4 desviaciones (mini rectángulos) para visualizar de mejor manera donde se encuentra el precio del SPX con referencia a las alas. Color rojo más oscuro a medida que se acerque a las alas, color verde claro cuando el precio se acerque al centro del Iron Condor.
Add SMAs: Agrega al cuadro las SMA 8, 20 y 50.
Include Fundamental Days: Incluye o no en la muestra días de noticias importantes. Son considerados: FED Meetings, CPI Reports, Unemployment Reports, Powell Speech.
Include Days: (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday). Incluye (o no) en la muestra los días elegidos.
Apply Filters Since: Fecha de comienzo del muestreo.
Table Position: Posición del dashboard.
Nota 1: se recomienda usar el Dark Theme Color de TradingView.
Nota 2: este indicador solo funcionará en temporalidades intradías menores a 30 minutos (1m,2m,5m,10m,15m,30m) y Solo mostrará resultados mientras el mercado esté abierto, o sea en tiempo real.

Auto Trend Lines Breakouts and Bounces Signals and AlertsAuto Trend Lines Breakout with Confirmation Bounce Signals and Alerts
This indicator draws trend lines automatically based on the 2 pivot points, which are calculated based on the specified number of bars (length), which is of course customizable. The indicator then shows you when these trend lines get touched (potential bounce) or “almost touched” (Yes! The script can do that as well!) by the current price of the instrument or broken and then confirmed by the “after break come back touch” – classic! Everything is shown on the chart, and for everything - alarms can be set up with just a few clicks!
Now there are 2 modes here (you can hide all signals as well and just use the trend lines):
1) Current/recent trend lines only: will only show 2 current upper/lower trend lines as well as previous 2 for reference.
2) All time (historical) trend lines: will show 2 current upper/lower trend lines as well as the historical lines from the past and these lines are often very respected by the price!
Besides that, you can set the indicator to show you exactly what you want: Just the trend lines touches/bounces, breaks with confirmation touches/bounces or BOTH.
In addition to that, you can set the indicator to only show you these touches/bounces and breaks with additional confirmations, only if confirmed by :
- Moving Average (customizable length): LONG signals based off the trend lines will only be shown if above EMA, SHORT if below.
- Signals where the candle color confirms the direction of the trade, but the candle type is opposite (like a green colored bearish hammer for example) will be avoided (such candles can be very uncertain/deceptive)
- Signals where the signal candle is doji will be avoided (uncertain)
- Signals will only be shown if supported by the trend line slope (for example, with this feature turned on, if there is an upper line trend line, but the line is actually above, touching the top of the candles and the price touches/crosses it or it gets broken – there will be no signal as even though the trend line is an upper line above candles, it’s slope is positive (going up), if the slope would be down, like a classical down/bearish trend line and the price touches/bounces off it or the line gets broken, only then the indicator will show the signal/alert.
- OFFSET: this one is really cool! With this feature you can hunt these conditions when the price comes very near the trend line, but never touches it. With this setting turned on, with a correct offset amount – you will be able to catch these! You will need to play around with the offset amount, depending on the timeframe/instrument, be quick-n-easy!
The indicator also includes Round Number lines on the chart, which are customizable for any instrument. As you know round numbers are appreciated by the price and can be very nicely used with this indicator looking for combos or using trend lines for signals, while round numbers as partial profit price targets or stop-loss areas.
Important economic events are also shown on the chart as red vertical lines (during these events, volatility can suddenly spike, so it’s best to stay away from trading!)
This is a very powerful indicator with plenty of customizations to find the best approaches, can be used for any instrument and on any timeframe! Awesome for scalping and could be used with swing trading as well! Enjoy!
To add the alerts
-Right-click anywhere on the TradingView chart
-Click on Add alert
-Condition: Auto Trend Lines Breakout with Confirmation Bounce Signals and Alerts
-Alert name: DO NOT TOUCH THIS
-Hit “Create”
-Note: If you change ANY Settings within the indicator – you must DELETE the current alert and create a new one per steps above, otherwise it will continue triggering alerts per old Settings!
A few strategies how this indicator can be used (these were actually tested and showed awesome results!):
1) Bounce Scalping: Simply hunting bounces off the trend lines. Often the price will slightly cross the trend line and then immediately bounces from it for nice little price move, which is great for scalping or if you for example take 2/3s off the position and leave the remaining, often with such bounces – the price may reverse from the trend line and go in the opposite direction considerably.
2) Break-Bounce-Confirm: this is the “Breaks with Confirmation Bounce” option of the script which fully automates the classical trend lines break confirmation, where the trend line is broken (which could be a fake out), so you wait for a touch/bounce of that trend line back from the initial break and open the position right there or wait and see if after the touch/bounce back, the price once again goes into the direction of the break.
For stop-loss and take-profit areas, you can use:
1) Pivots (these are marked with red and green crosses on the chart), which are used to draw the actual trend lines.
2) The actual trend lines themselves (if one gets broken + confirmation, you can set your stop-loss if that same line gets broken again in the opposite direction | similar for take-profit, you can take profit or partial profit at next trend line on the chart if the price reaches it.
3) Use the Round Numbers included, for example: use the closest round number as a visual soft stop-loss and the furthest one away as a visual soft take-profit.
You can try combining this indicator with divergence, stochastic, Bollinger bands, pretty much anything!

SPX_Strikes_OpcionSigmaThis is a tool to know the strikes to use for Iron Condor.
You can change the colors for the lines.
It uses the VIX to estimate the movement of the SPX index.
VIX/VOLI RatioWe all know TVC:VIX . But what is NASDAQ:VOLI ?
VOLI is basically a measure of expectations for market volatility over the next 30 calendar days as expressed by ATM options on AMEX:SPY
nations.com
So why is this VIX /VOLI ratio important? It's because it can give an important measure of options skew.
It can show the premium of OTM options (particularly puts) over ATM.
It can show if traders are interested in owning wings in AMEX:SPY
Not a lot of info can be taken by just looking at the ratio as a standalone nominal value. Plus, the ratio is noisy and spotting a clear trend can be hard.
For these reasons, I decided to code this indicator (which is best used on the Daily chart).
I added two EMA clouds, 7 and 12 and color code them with respect to their positions. If 7 > 12, cloud will be green. If 7 < 12, cloud will be red. This will give a better view of how the ratio is trending.
I then added a lookback period that can be changed from the indicator's setting (along with the fast and slow EMAs).
The lookback period will be used to get the following parameters:
- highest value
- lowest value
- 10th, 30th, 50th, 70th and 90th percentiles
- Percentile Rank
- Average, Median and Mode
Having all these values in a table will give a better idea of where the current ratio sits.
Divergence and Pivot - Detector For Any IndicatorI present to you an indicator capable of determining the divergence and convergence points for any indicator you choose. It will also determine Pivot points.
All you need to do is add the indicator to your favorites and call it. Next, you need a second indicator for which you want to find divergences or pivots. Next you need choise 'Oscillator Source' section in my indicator, after that you need to choose the name of the indicator for which you want to find divergences . - Done!
Thanks to the developers of TradingView for posting the source code of the "Divergence Indicator" indicator.
Extreme Volume Support Resistance LevelsExtreme Volume Support Resistance Levels are S/R levels(zones, basically), based on extreme volume .
Settings:
Lookback -- number of bars, which algorithm will be using;
Volume Threshold Period -- period of MA (Volume MA), which smoothers volume in order to find the extremes;
Volume Threshold Multiplier -- multiplier for Volume MA, which "lift" Volume MA and thus will provide the algorithm with more accurate extreme volume ;
Number of zones to show -- number of last S/R zones, which will be shown on the chart.
RU:
Extreme Volume Support Resistance Levels — это уровни S/R (зоны, в основном), основанные на избыточном объеме.
Параметры:
Lookback -- число баров, которое алгоритм будет использовать для расчётов;
Volume Threshold Period -- период MA (Volume MA), которая сглаживает объем для нахождения экстремумов объёма;
Volume Threshold Multiplier -- множитель для Volume MA, который "поднимает" Volume MA и тем самым обеспечивает алгоритм более точными значениями экстремального объёма;
Количество зон для отображения -- количество оставшихся зон S/R, которые отображаются на графике.

MAGISTR Binary 3 EURUSD 1min The indicator is designed for use in binary options trading.
Designed for TF 1 minute, EURUSD pair (tested on Currency.com exchange instrument).
When the rules of the internal algorithm are triggered, the indicator generates a signal with the probable movement of the instrument on the next bar:
if a green bar appears at the bottom of the bar, it means that the indicator assumes that the next bar should close at a positive price growth value (it will be green) and vice versa, if a red bar appears at the bottom of the bar, then the indicator assumes that the next bar should close at a negative price growth value( will be red), the indicator also generates appropriate alerts about the expected price movement on the next bar.
In addition, the indicator counts the signals issued by it and the success of its processing for the period of time available in TradingView.
This indicator uses a set of values of such basic indicators as:
- Stochastic RSI;
- Bollinger Bands;
- Profile of Volumes;
- CCI;
- ADX;
- momentum;
and others.
I left all the settings "open", so it is quite possible, by slightly changing the parameters, to adjust it to another pair or time frame.
==========================================================================================================================
Индикатор разработан для применения в торговле на бинарных опционах.
Разработан для ТФ 1 минута, пара EURUSD (оттестирован на показателях инструмента биржи Currency.com).
При сработке правил внутреннего алгоритма - индикатор выдает сигнал с вероятным движением инструмента на следующем баре :
если появилась зеленая полоса внизу бара - значит индикатор предполагает, что следующий бар должен закрыться в положительном значении роста цены ( будет зеленым) и наоборот, если появилась красная полоса внизу бара - значит индикатор предполагает, что следующий бар должен закрыться в отрицательном значении роста цены( будет красным) , также индикатор выдает соответствующее оповещения о предполагаемом им движении цены на следующем баре.
Кроме того индикатором ведется подсчета выданных им сигналов и и успеха его отработки за доступный в TradingView период времени.
В данном индикаторе используются комплекс значений таких базовых индикаторов, как:
- Stochastic RSI;
- Bollindgers Bands;
- Profile of Volumes;
- CCI ;
- ADX;
- Momentum ;
и прочие.
Все настройки оставил "открытыми", так что его вполне можно, немного изменив параметры, подстроить под другую пару или тайм-фрейм.
(2) Two AlertsCurrent Trading View free plan allows only ONE active alert.
This simple indicator Allows to trigger this ONE and ONLY alert when price reaches Higher, or Lower price level.
You can set levels and turn alerts for them on/off in settings, or by just drag-n-dropping Horizontal lines on the chart.
To set the only alert you need to create new alert, and change it's following parameters :
condition : 2alerts
Any alert function() call
Feel free to modify it on your needs.
[ChasinAlts] A New Beginning[MO]Hello Tradeurs, firstly let me say this… Please do not think that this dump is over (so I want to gift you one of the best gifts I CAN gift you at the PERFECT TIME...which is now) but I believe it to be the final one before a New Beginning is upon us. I hope that anybody that sees this within the next day or so listens to me when I tell you this… Follow the instructions below, IF ANYTHING, just to set the alert to be notify you so you can see why I’m about to tell you everything that I’m about to tell you. That being that this indicator is pure magic…..BUT you must stay in your lane when using it (ie. ultimately, understand its use case) and most importantly, how many people you expose it to. The good thing about it is it produces very few alerts. In fact, it was built SOLELY to find the very tips of MAJOR dumps/pumps (with its current default settings). I honestly cannot remember where I acquired the code so if anyone recognizes it please direct me to the source so I can give a shoutout. In the past it has been so astonishingly accurate that I didn’t want to publish it but I've just been...in the mood I suppose recently.
Now…it is SPECIFICALLY meant for the 1min TF. I’ll say it again… It is meant for ONE MINUTE CHARTS…it was built for 1min charts, it will only work as well as I’m describing to you on the…you guessed it…ONE MINUTE CHART (again, with the default settings how they are, that is). If any of you use it for this present dump (November 8, 2022) and want to thank me for it or speak very highly about it or give it a bunch of likes… DO NOT!!! I will reword this so you fully comprehend my urgency on this matter. I do not want this indicator getting out for every Joe Schmoe (or stupid YouTuber) to use and spread because the manipulators will see to it that it will no longer work. Things that will happen that will cause it to gain the popularity that I do not want it to have are the following:
1) You "like" the indicator in TradingView to show appreciation/that your using it so that it will show up in your indicators list (to get past this you need to select all of the text of the script on the indicator's page and copy and paste it into the “Pine Editor”. Then select "save" and name it as you wish. Now, it is in your indicator list under the name that you saved it as.
2) You *favorite* the indicator in TradingView
3) You leave comments in the comments section on the indicators page in TradingView (I really do love hearing comments about anything regarding my indicators(positive or negative..though I haven't gotten any negative yet SO BRING IT ON), even though I don’t get too many of them, so if you are grateful (or hateful) PLEASE message me privately (and really I truly truly do appreciate getting comments/messages so if it has benefited you make sure to message me as I might have more for those that do express their gratitude) and tell me anything that you want to tell me or ask me anything that you wanna ask me there).
One major thing that will help to suppress its popularity will be that if anybody goes back on historical charts to see its accuracy they most likely will not be able to go far back enough on the 1min TF to be able to Witness its efficacy so I'm banking on that helping to keep a lid on things.
The settings used (as well as the TF used) really should not be changed if using it for its intended purpose. On little dumps that last for a few hours os so will produce points somewhere in the 40 to 60 range at the dumps/pumps peak. Each coin is worth one point and there are 40 coins per set and 2 sets (that you will have to link together) and when the under the hood indicator is triggered for that coin it will add a point to the score. With the settings how they are and on the 1min TF(if I hadn't mentioned it yet. lol) a good point alert threshold to use to catch the apex of heavy pumps/dumps would be between 70 to 80 points(80 is max). Ultimately is the users choice to input the alert threshold of points in the indicators settings(default is 72). If you’re trying to nail the very bottom of a hard pump/dump, DO NOT fall for times where it peaks at 50 to 60. You’re looking for 70 or above.
*** This is the most important thing to do as you will not receive an alert if you do not do this correctly. You have to add the indicator two times to the chart. One of the indicators needs to be under “Coin Set 1“ and the other under “Coin Set 2“. Now, in “Set 1“ you need to go to the setting entitled “Select New Beginning Count Plot from drop-down“ and you need to open the drop-down and select the plot entitled “A New Beginning Count Plot”. This will link both the indicators and since there are 40 coins per iteration of the script, when you link them it could give you a max of 80 points total at the very peak of a very strong dump...which will obviously be rare. You CAN use only one copy of the script (but need to change the alert setting to a MAX of 40) but in my experience it's best to use both of them and to link them. It gives you a more well-rounded outcome. Good luck my people and always remember...Much love...Much Love. May the force be with your trades. -ChasinAlts out.
4C Expected Move (Weekly Options)This indicator plots the Expected Move (EM) calculated from weekly options pricing, for a quick visual reference.
The EM is the amount that a stock is predicted to increase or decrease from its current price, based on the current level of implied volatility.
This range can be viewed as support and resistance, or once price gets outside of the range, institutional hedging actions can accelerate the move in that direction.
The EM range is based on the Weekly close of the prior week.
It can be useful to know what the weekly EM range is for a stock to understand the probabilities of the overall distance, direction and volatility for the week.
To use this indicator you must have access to a broker with options data (not available on Tradingview).
Look at the stock's option chain and find the weekly expected move. You will have to do your own research to find where this information is displayed depending on your broker.
See screenshot example on the chart. This is the Thinkorswim platform's option chain, and the Implied Volatility % and the calculated EM is circled in red. Use the +- number in parentheses, NOT the % value.
Input that number into the indicator on a weekly basis, ideally on the weekend sometime after the cash market close on Friday, and before the Market open at the beginning of the trading week.
The indicator must be manually updated each week.
It will automatically start over at the beginning of the week.

Moving Averages SelectionHello everyone, I present my first script. In it I collect a group of fully configurable moving averages, both in color, value and selection of the ones we want to observe.
The moving averages I collect are 3 of each of the following types:
EMA: An exponential moving average ( EMA ) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.
SMA: It is simply the average price over the specified period. The average is called "moving" because it is plotted on the chart bar by bar, forming a line that moves along the chart as the average value changes.
HMA: The Hull Moving Average ( HMA ) attempts to minimize the lag of a traditional moving average while retaining the smoothness of the moving average line. Developed by Alan Hull in 2005, this indicator makes use of weighted moving averages to prioritize more recent values and greatly reduce lag.
RMA: The Rolling Moving Average, sometimes referred to as "Smoothed Moving Average", gives the recent prices most weighting, though the historic prices are also weighted, each given less weighting further back in time.
WMA: The weighted moving average ( WMA ) is a technical indicator that traders use to generate trade direction and make a buy or sell decision. It assigns greater weighting to recent data points and less weighting on past data points.
I am open to any opinion and advice for improvement, greetings, I hope you find it useful :)
LazyScalp BoardThis indicator allows you to quickly view all important parameters in the table.
The table consists of a daily volume indicator, an average volume for a certain period, a volatility indicator (normalized ATR) and a correlation coefficient.
All parameters can be flexibly customized. You can also customize the table display, styles, and more.
This indicator is primarily useful for intraday traders and scalpers to quickly select an instrument to trade.
Volatility Cone [Loxx]When it comes to forecasting volatility, it seems that the old axiom about weather is applicable: "Everyone talks about it, but no one can do much about it!" Volatility cones are a tool that may be useful in one’s attempt to do something about predicting the future volatility of an asset.
A "volatility cone" is a plot of the range of volatilities within a fixed probability band around the true parameter, as a function of sample length. Volatility cone is a visualization tool for the display of historical volatility term structure. It was introduced by Burghardt and Lane in early 1990 and is popular in the option trading community. This is mostly a static indicator due to processor load and is restricted to the daily time frame.
Why cones?
When we enter the options arena, in an effort to "trade volatility," we want to be able to compare current levels of implied volatility with recent historical volatility in an effort to assess the relative value of the option(s) under consideration Volatility cones can be an effective tool to help us with this assessment. A volatility cone is an analytical application designed to help determine if the current levels of historical or implied volatilities for a given underlying, its options, or any of the new volatility instruments, such as VolContractTM futures, VIX futures, or VXX and VXZ ETNs, are likely to persist in the future. As such, volatility cones are intended to help the user assess the likely volatility that an underlying will go on to display over a certain period. Those who employ volatility cones as a diagnostic tool are relying upon the principle of "reversion to the mean." This means that unusually high levels of volatility are expected to drift or move lower (revert) to their average (mean) levels, while relatively low volatility readings are expected to rise, eventually, to more "normal" values.
How to use
Suppose you want to analyze an options contract expiring in 3-months and this current option has an current implied volatility 25.5%. Suppose also that realized volatility (y-axis) at the 3-month mark (90 on the x-axis) is 45%, median in 35%, the 25th percentile is 30%, and the low is 25%. Comparing this range to the implied volatility you would maybe conclude that this is a relatively "cheap" option contract. To help you visualize implied volatility on the chart given an expiration date in bars, the indicator includes the ability to enter up to three expirations in bars and each expirations current implied volatility
By ascertaining the various historical levels of volatility corresponding to a given time horizon for the options futures under consideration, we’re better prepared to judge the relative "cheapness" or "expensiveness" of the instrument.
Volatility options
Close-to-Close
Close-to-Close volatility is a classic and most commonly used volatility measure, sometimes referred to as historical volatility .
Volatility is an indicator of the speed of a stock price change. A stock with high volatility is one where the price changes rapidly and with a bigger amplitude. The more volatile a stock is, the riskier it is.
Close-to-close historical volatility calculated using only stock's closing prices. It is the simplest volatility estimator. But in many cases, it is not precise enough. Stock prices could jump considerably during a trading session, and return to the open value at the end. That means that a big amount of price information is not taken into account by close-to-close volatility .
Despite its drawbacks, Close-to-Close volatility is still useful in cases where the instrument doesn't have intraday prices. For example, mutual funds calculate their net asset values daily or weekly, and thus their prices are not suitable for more sophisticated volatility estimators.
Parkinson
Parkinson volatility is a volatility measure that uses the stock’s high and low price of the day.
The main difference between regular volatility and Parkinson volatility is that the latter uses high and low prices for a day, rather than only the closing price. That is useful as close to close prices could show little difference while large price movements could have happened during the day. Thus Parkinson's volatility is considered to be more precise and requires less data for calculation than the close-close volatility. One drawback of this estimator is that it doesn't take into account price movements after market close. Hence it systematically undervalues volatility. That drawback is taken into account in the Garman-Klass's volatility estimator.
Garman-Klass
Garman Klass is a volatility estimator that incorporates open, low, high, and close prices of a security.
Garman-Klass volatility extends Parkinson's volatility by taking into account the opening and closing price. As markets are most active during the opening and closing of a trading session, it makes volatility estimation more accurate.
Garman and Klass also assumed that the process of price change is a process of continuous diffusion (geometric Brownian motion). However, this assumption has several drawbacks. The method is not robust for opening jumps in price and trend movements.
Despite its drawbacks, the Garman-Klass estimator is still more effective than the basic formula since it takes into account not only the price at the beginning and end of the time interval but also intraday price extremums.
Researchers Rogers and Satchel have proposed a more efficient method for assessing historical volatility that takes into account price trends. See Rogers-Satchell Volatility for more detail.
Rogers-Satchell
Rogers-Satchell is an estimator for measuring the volatility of securities with an average return not equal to zero.
Unlike Parkinson and Garman-Klass estimators, Rogers-Satchell incorporates drift term (mean return not equal to zero). As a result, it provides a better volatility estimation when the underlying is trending.
The main disadvantage of this method is that it does not take into account price movements between trading sessions. It means an underestimation of volatility since price jumps periodically occur in the market precisely at the moments between sessions.
A more comprehensive estimator that also considers the gaps between sessions was developed based on the Rogers-Satchel formula in the 2000s by Yang-Zhang. See Yang Zhang Volatility for more detail.
Yang-Zhang
Yang Zhang is a historical volatility estimator that handles both opening jumps and the drift and has a minimum estimation error.
We can think of the Yang-Zhang volatility as the combination of the overnight (close-to-open volatility ) and a weighted average of the Rogers-Satchell volatility and the day’s open-to-close volatility . It considered being 14 times more efficient than the close-to-close estimator.
Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang
Garman Klass is a volatility estimator that incorporates open, low, high, and close prices of a security.
Garman-Klass volatility extends Parkinson's volatility by taking into account the opening and closing price. As markets are most active during the opening and closing of a trading session, it makes volatility estimation more accurate.
Garman and Klass also assumed that the process of price change is a process of continuous diffusion (geometric Brownian motion). However, this assumption has several drawbacks. The method is not robust for opening jumps in price and trend movements.

Exponential Weighted Moving Average
The Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) is a quantitative or statistical measure used to model or describe a time series. The EWMA is widely used in finance, the main applications being technical analysis and volatility modeling.
The moving average is designed as such that older observations are given lower weights. The weights fall exponentially as the data point gets older – hence the name exponentially weighted.
The only decision a user of the EWMA must make is the parameter lambda. The parameter decides how important the current observation is in the calculation of the EWMA. The higher the value of lambda, the more closely the EWMA tracks the original time series.
Standard Deviation of Log Returns
This is the simplest calculation of volatility . It's the standard deviation of ln(close/close(1))
Sampling periods used
5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, and 360

Variety Distribution Probability Cone [Loxx]Variety Distribution Probability Cone forecasts price within a range of confidence using Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) calculated using selected probability distribution, volatility, and drift. Below is detailed explanation of the inner workings of the indicator and the math involved. While normally this indicator would be used by options traders, this can also be used by regular directional traders who wish to observe a forecast of the confidence interval of possible prices over time.
What is a Random Walk
A random walk is a path which consists of a set of random steps. The starting point is zero and following movement may be one step to the left or to the right with equal probability. In the random walk process, there is no observable trend or pattern which are followed by the objects that is the movements are completely random. That is why the prices of a stock as it moves up and down can be modeled by random a walk process.
Stock Prices and Geometric Brownian Motion
Brownian motion, as first conceived by the botanist Robert Brown (1827), is a mathematical model used to describe random movements of small particles in a fluid or gas. These random movements are observed in the stock markets where the prices move up and down, randomly; hence, Brownian motion is considered as a mathematical model for stock prices.
P(exp(lnS0 + (mu + 1/2*sigma^2)t - z(0.05)*sigma*t^0.5) <= St <= exp(lnS0 + (mu + 1/2*sigma^2)t + z(0.05)*sigma*t^0.5)) = 0.95
Probability Distributions
Typically the normal distribution is used, but for our purposes here we extend this to Student t-distribution, Cauchy, Gaussian KDE, and Laplace
Student's t-Distribution
The probability density function of the Student’s t distribution is given by
g(x) = (L(v+1)/2) / L(v/2) * 1 / L(sqrt(v)) * (1 + x^2/v) ^ (-(v+1)/2)
with v degrees of freedom and v >= 0, denoted by X ~ t(v). The mean is 0 and the variance is v/(v-2). It is known that as v tends to infinity, the Student’s t-distribution tends to a standard normal probability density function, which has a variance of one. Blattberg and Gonedes were the first to propose that stock returns could be modeled by this distribution. (Blattberg and Gonedes, 1974) Platen and Sidorowicz later reaffirmed these findings.(Platen and Rendek, 2007) Finally, Cassidy, Hamp, and Ouyed used these findings to derive the Gosset formula, which is the Student t version of the Black-Scholes model.(Cassidy et al., 2010) They found that v = 2.65 provides the best fit when looking at the past 100 years of returns. They realized that as markets become more turbulent, the degrees of freedom should be adjusted to a smaller value.(Cassidy et al., 2010)
Cauchy Distribution
The probability density function of the Cauchy distribution is given by
f(x) = 1 / (theta*pi*(1 + ((x-n)/v)))
where n is the location parameter and theta is the scale parameter, for -infinity < x < infinity and is denoted by X ~ CAU(L,v). This model is similar to the normal distribution in that it is symmetric about zero, but the tails are fatter. This would mean that the probability of an extreme event occurring lies far out in the distributions tail. Using a crude example, if the normal distribution gave a probability of an extreme event occurring of 0.05% and the “best case” scenario of this event occurring 300 years, then using the Cauchy distribution one would find that the probability of occurring would be around 5% and now the “best case” scenario might have been reduced to only 63 years. Thus giving extreme events more of a likelihood of occurring. The mean, variance, and higher order moments are not defined (they are infinite); this implies that n and theta cannot be related to a mean and standard deviation. The Cauchy distribution is related to the Student’s t distribution T ~ CAU(1,0) when v = 1. In 1963, Benoit Mandelbrot was the first to suggest that stock returns follow a stable distribution, in particular, the Cauchy distribution.(Mandelbrot, 1963) His work was validated by Eugene Fama in 1965.(Fama, 1965) Recent research by Nassim Taleb came to the same conclusion as Mandelbrot, saying that stock returns follow a Cauchy distribution, as reported in his New York Times best-seller book “The Black Swan”.(Taleb, 2010)
Laplace Distribution
In probability theory and statistics, the Laplace distribution is a continuous probability distribution named after Pierre-Simon Laplace. It is also sometimes called the double exponential distribution, because it can be thought of as two exponential distributions (with an additional location parameter) spliced together along the abscissa, although the term is also sometimes used to refer to the Gumbel distribution. The difference between two independent identically distributed exponential random variables is governed by a Laplace distribution, as is a Brownian motion evaluated at an exponentially distributed random time. Increments of Laplace motion or a variance gamma process evaluated over the time scale also have a Laplace distribution.
The probability density function of the Cauchy distribution is given by
f(x) = 1/2b * exp(-|x-µ|/b)
Here, µ is a location parameter and b > 0, which is sometimes referred to as the "diversity", is a scale parameter. If µ = 0 and b=1, the positive half-line is exactly an exponential distribution scaled by 1/2.
The probability density function of the Laplace distribution is also reminiscent of the normal distribution; however, whereas the normal distribution is expressed in terms of the squared difference from the mean µ, the Laplace density is expressed in terms of the absolute difference from the mean. Consequently, the Laplace distribution has fatter tails than the normal distribution.
Gaussian Kernel Density Estimation
In statistics, kernel density estimation (KDE) is the application of kernel smoothing for probability density estimation, i.e., a non-parametric method to estimate the probability density function of a random variable based on kernels as weights. KDE is a fundamental data smoothing problem where inferences about the population are made, based on a finite data sample. In some fields such as signal processing and econometrics it is also termed the Parzen–Rosenblatt window method, after Emanuel Parzen and Murray Rosenblatt, who are usually credited with independently creating it in its current form. One of the famous applications of kernel density estimation is in estimating the class-conditional marginal densities of data when using a naive Bayes classifier, which can improve its prediction accuracy.
Let (x1, x2, ..., xn) be independent and identically distributed samples drawn from some univariate distribution with an unknown density f at any given point x. We are interested in estimating the shape of this function f. Its kernel density estimator is:
f(x) = 1/nh * sum(k(x-xi)/h, n)
where K is the kernel—a non-negative function—and h > 0 is a smoothing parameter called the bandwidth. A kernel with subscript h is called the scaled kernel and defined as Kh(x) = 1/h K(x/h). Intuitively one wants to choose h as small as the data will allow; however, there is always a trade-off between the bias of the estimator and its variance.
The probability density function of Gaussian Kernel Density Estimation is given by
f(x) = 1 / (v * 2*pi)^0.5 * exp(-(x - m)^2 / (2 * v))
where v is the bandwidth component h squared
KDE Bandwidth Estimation
Bandwidth selection strongly influences the estimate obtained from the KDE (much more so than the actual shape of the kernel). Bandwidth selection can be done by a "rule of thumb", by cross-validation, by "plug-in methods" or by other means. The default is Scott's Rule.
Scott's Rule
n ^ (-1/(d+4))
with n the number of data points and d the number of dimensions.
In the case of unequally weighted points, this becomes
neff^(-1/(d+4))
with neff the effective number of datapoints.
Silverman's Rule
(n * (d + 2) / 4)^(-1 / (d + 4))
or in the case of unequally weighted points:
(neff * (d + 2) / 4)^(-1 / (d + 4))
With a set of weighted samples, the effective number of datapoints neff
is defined by:
neff = sum(weights)^2 / sum(weights^2)
Manual input
You can provide your own bandwidth input. This is useful for those who wish to run external to TradingView Grid Search Machine Learning algorithms to solve for the bandwidth per ticker.
Inverse CDF of KDE Calculation
1. Create an array of random normalized numbers, using an inverse CDF of a normal distribution of mean of zero
and standard deviation one
2. Create a line space range of values -3 to 3
3. Create a Gaussian Kernel Density Estimate CDF by iterating over the line space array created in step 2. For each line space item, find the mean difference between the line space and the random variable divided by the bandwidth.
4. Derive test statistics from the resulting KDE inverse CDF, we use cubic spline interpolation to solve for line space value for a given alpha computed using the user selected probability percent value in the settings.

Garman and Klass also assumed that the process of price change is a process of continuous diffusion (geometric Brownian motion). However, this assumption has several drawbacks. The method is not robust for opening jumps in price and trend movements.
Despite its drawbacks, the Garman-Klass estimator is still more effective than the basic formula since it takes into account not only the price at the beginning and end of the time interval but also intraday price extremums.
Researchers Rogers and Satchel have proposed a more efficient method for assessing historical volatility that takes into account price trends. See Rogers-Satchell Volatility for more detail.
Exponential Weighted Moving Average
The Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) is a quantitative or statistical measure used to model or describe a time series. The EWMA is widely used in finance, the main applications being technical analysis and volatility modeling.
The moving average is designed as such that older observations are given lower weights. The weights fall exponentially as the data point gets older – hence the name exponentially weighted.
The only decision a user of the EWMA must make is the parameter lambda. The parameter decides how important the current observation is in the calculation of the EWMA. The higher the value of lambda, the more closely the EWMA tracks the original time series.
Standard Deviation of Log Returns
This is the simplest calculation of volatility. It's the standard deviation of ln(close/close(1))
Pseudo GARCH(2,2)
This is calculated using a short- and long-run mean of variance multiplied by θ.
θavg(var ;M) + (1 − θ)avg(var ;N) = 2θvar/(M+1-(M-1)L) + 2(1-θ)var/(M+1-(M-1)L)
Solving for θ can be done by minimizing the mean squared error of estimation; that is, regressing L^-1var - avg(var; N) against avg(var; M) - avg(var; N) and using the resulting beta estimate as θ.

Cost of Equity / Required Rate of Return (CAPM)
Standard Capital Asset Pricing Model used to solve for Cost of Equity of Required Rate of Return. Due to the processor overhead required to compute CAPM, the user must plug in values for beta, alpha, and expected market return using Loxx's CAPM indicator series. Used for stocks.
Mean of Log Returns
Average of the log returns for the underlying ticker over the user selected period of evaluation. General purpose use.
Risk-free Rate (r)
10, 20, or 30 year bond yields for the user selected currency. Under equilibrium the drift of the empirical GBM must be the risk-free rate. If the price process is a GBM under the empirical measure, then a consequence of viability is that it is also a GBM under an equivalent (risk-neutral) measure.
Risk-free Rate adjusted for Dividends (r-q)
This is the Risk-free Rate minus the Dividend Yield.
Forex (r-rf)
This is derived from the Garman and Kohlhagen (1983) modified Black-Scholes model can be used to price European currency options. This is simply the diffeence between Risk-free Rate of the Forex currency in question. This is used for Forex pricing.
Martingale (0)
When the drift parameter is 0, geometric Brownian motion is a martingale. In probability theory, a martingale is a sequence of random variables (i.e., a stochastic process) for which, at a particular time, the conditional expectation of the next value in the sequence is equal to the present value, regardless of all prior values. Typically used for futures or margined futures.

Additional notes
Indicator can be used on any timeframe. The T (time) variable used to annualize volatility and inside the GBM formula is automatically calculated based on the timeframe of the chart.
Confidence interval of volatility is calculated using an inverse CDF of a Chi-Squared Distribution. You change the volatility input used to create the probability cones from from realized volatility to upper or lower confidence levels of volatility to better visualize extremes of range. Generally, you'd stick with realized volatility.
Days per year should be 252 for everything but Cryptocurrency. These are days trader per year. Maximum future forecast bars is 365. Forecast bars are limited to the maximum of selected days per year.
Includes the ability to overlay option expiration dates by bars to see the range of prices for that date at that bar
You can select confidence % you wish for both the cone in general and the volatility. There are three levels for the cones, this will show on the three different levels up and down on the chart.
The table on the right displays important calculated values so you don't have to remember what they are or what settings you selected
All values are annualized no matter the timeframe.
Additional distributions and measures of volatility and drift will be added in future releases.
Higher Time Frame Average True RangesPurpose: This script will help an options trader asses risk and determine good entry and exit strategies
Background Information: The true range is the greatest of: current high minus the current low; the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close. The Average True Range (ATR) is a 14-day moving average of the true range. Traders use the ATR indicator to assess volatility in stocks and decide when to enter and exit trades. It is important to note the limitations of using True Range and ATR: These indications cannot tell you the direction of your options trade (call vs. put) and they cannot tell you whether a particular trend is about to reverse. However, it can be used to assess if volatility has peaked for a particular direction and time period.
How this script works: This indicator calculates true range for the daily (DTR), weekly (WTR), and monthly (MTR) time frames and compares it to the Average True Range (ATR) for each of those time frames (DATR, WATR, and MATR). The comparison is displayed into a colored table in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. When a daily, weekly, or monthly true range reaches 80% of its respective ATR, the row for that time frame will turn Orange indicating medium risk for staying in the trade. If the true range goes above 100% of the respective ATR, then the row will turn Red indicating high risk for staying in the trade. When the row for a time period turns red, volatility for the time period has likely peaked and traders should heavily consider taking profits. It is important to note these calculations start at different times for each time frame: Daily (Today’s Open), Weekly (Monday’s Open), Monthly (First of the Month’s Open). This means if it’s the 15th of the month then the Monthly True Range is being calculated for the trading days in the first half of the month (approximately 10 trade days).
The script also plots three sets of horizontal dotted lines to visually represent the ATR for each time period. Each set is generated by adding and subtracting the daily, weekly, and monthly ATRs from that time periods open price. For example, the weekly ATR is added and subtracted from Mondays open price to visually represent the true range for that week. The DATR is represented by red lines, the WATR is represented by the green lines, and the MATR is represented by the blue lines. These plots could also be used to assess risk as well.
How to use this script: Use the table to assess risk and determine potential exit strategies (Green=Low Risk, Orange=Medium Risk, Red=High Risk. Use the dotted lines to speculate what a stock’s price could be in a given time period (Daily=Red, Weekly=Green, and Monthly=Blue). And don’t forget the true range’s calculation and plots starts at the beginning of each time period!
MINI SPXThis is the XSP version of SPX, basically it's just the price of SPX divided by 10 and shown using labels.
Should only be used on SPX to watch the price of XSP since XSP doesn't have real-time data ATM.
Can be used on any time frames.
This script allows you to view the Daily (O, H, L, C) and Yesterday's (O, H, L, C) with a non intrusive price line.
Allows for extra customization of the price lines and labels.
