ADX + CCI + MA - Uncle SamStrategy Name: ADX + CCI + MA - Uncle Sam
Overview
This strategy aims to capitalize on trending markets by combining the Average Directional Index (ADX), Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and a customizable Moving Average (MA). It's designed for traders seeking a balanced approach to both long (buy) and short (sell) opportunities. Special thanks to the creators of the ADX and CCI indicators for their invaluable contributions to technical analysis.
Strategy Concept
The core idea is to identify strong trends with the ADX, confirm potential entry points with the CCI, and use the MA to filter trades in the direction of the broader trend. This approach seeks to avoid entering positions during periods of consolidation or when the trend is weak.
Indicator Logic
ADX (Average Directional Index): The ADX measures the strength of a trend, regardless of its direction. A value above the customizable adx_threshold (default 20) signals a strong trend, making it a prime environment for this strategy.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): The CCI is a momentum oscillator that helps identify overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) conditions. We use CCI crossovers to time entries in the direction of the prevailing trend.
MA (Moving Average): The MA acts as a trend filter, ensuring we only enter trades aligned with the overall market direction. You have flexibility in choosing the MA type (SMA, EMA, etc.) and its length to suit your trading style and timeframe.
Entry Conditions
Long (Buy):
ADX is above the adx_threshold.
CCI crosses above 100.
Price is above the chosen Moving Average (if MA trend filtering is enabled).
Short (Sell):
ADX is above the adx_threshold.
CCI crosses below -100.
Price is below the chosen Moving Average (if MA trend filtering is enabled).
Exit Conditions
Stop Loss (SL): Each position has a customizable stop-loss percentage to manage risk. The default setting is 1%.
Take Profit (TP): Each position has a customizable take-profit percentage to secure gains. The default setting is 5%.
MA-Based Risk Management (Optional): This feature allows for early exits if the price closes against the MA trend for a specified number of candles. The default setting is 2 candles.
Default Settings
CCI Period: 15
ADX Length: 10

Bands and Channels
Keltner Channel+EMA with Buy/Sell SignalsIndicator Name: Double Keltner Channel with EMA (Buy/Sell Signals)
Description:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals and generate buy/sell signals in volatile markets. It combines two Keltner Channels with different sensitivities (multipliers of 2.6 and 3.8) to visualize dynamic support and resistance levels. The addition of a 20-period EMA helps confirm trend direction and filter out potential false signals.
How the Indicator Works:
• Keltner Channels: These bands dynamically adjust to changing market volatility, offering a visual representation of potential price ranges. The 2.6 multiplier Keltner Channel (KC) is more sensitive to price changes, potentially highlighting short-term reversals, while the 3.8 multiplier KC focuses on broader trend shifts.
• 20-period EMA: This widely used trend indicator helps smooth out price fluctuations and identify the underlying direction of the market.
• Buy Signals: Generated when a candle's low touches or crosses below either Keltner Channel's lower band, and within the next 6 candles, that same candle closes above the 20 EMA. This combination suggests a potential rejection of lower prices (support) and a possible resumption of the uptrend.
• Sell Signals: Mirror the buy signal logic but are triggered when the candle's high touches or crosses above either Keltner Channel's upper band and then closes below the 20 EMA within the next 6 candles. This indicates a potential rejection of higher prices (resistance) and a possible shift to a downtrend.
How to Use the Indicator:
1. Identify the Trend: Use the 20 EMA to determine the overall trend direction. Look for buy signals primarily in uptrends and sell signals in downtrends.
2. Confirm with RSI : While not included in this indicator, consider using a separate Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a length of 10, SMA type, MA length of 14, and standard deviation of 2. Look for oversold conditions (RSI below 20) to confirm buy signals and overbought conditions (RSI above 80) to confirm sell signals.
3.Apply Risk Management: Always use appropriate risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders, to protect your capital.
Key Points:
• This indicator is most effective in trending markets.
• It is not a standalone trading system and should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools and confirmation.
• The Keltner Channel multiplier values can be adjusted to suit your trading style and risk tolerance.
Important Disclaimer:
This indicator is a modification of the original Keltner Channel code and is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
It does not constitute financial advice. Always conduct your own research and consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

BTC x M2 Divergence (Weekly)### Why the "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" Indicator Should Work
IMPORTANT
- Weekly only indicator
- Combine it with BTC Halving Cycle Profit for better results
The "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" indicator leverages the relationship between macroeconomic factors (M2 money supply) and Bitcoin price movements, combined with technical analysis tools like RSI, to provide actionable trading signals. Here's a detailed rationale on why this indicator should be effective:
1. **Macroeconomic Influence**:
- **M2 Money Supply**: Represents the total money supply, including cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near money. Changes in M2 reflect liquidity in the economy, which can influence asset prices, including Bitcoin.
- **Bitcoin Sensitivity to Liquidity**: Bitcoin, being a digital asset, often reacts to changes in liquidity conditions. An increase in money supply can lead to higher asset prices as more money chases fewer assets, while a decrease can signal tightening conditions and lower prices.
2. **Divergence Analysis**:
- **Economic Divergence**: The indicator calculates the divergence between the percentage changes in M2 and Bitcoin prices. This divergence can highlight discrepancies between Bitcoin's price movements and broader economic conditions.
- **Market Inefficiencies**: Large divergences may indicate inefficiencies or imbalances that could lead to price corrections or trends. For example, if M2 is increasing (indicating more liquidity) but Bitcoin is not rising proportionately, it might suggest a potential upward correction in Bitcoin's price.
3. **Normalization and Smoothing**:
- **Normalized Divergence**: Normalizing the divergence to a consistent scale (-100 to 100) allows for easier comparison and interpretation over time, making the signals more robust.
- **Smoothing with EMA**: Applying Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to the normalized divergence helps to reduce noise and identify the underlying trend more clearly. This double-smoothed divergence provides a clearer signal by filtering out short-term volatility.
4. **RSI Integration**:
- **RSI as a Momentum Indicator**: RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, indicating overbought or oversold conditions. Normalizing the RSI and incorporating it into the divergence analysis helps to confirm the strength of the signals.
- **Combining Divergence with RSI**: By using RSI in conjunction with divergence, the indicator gains an additional layer of confirmation. For instance, a bullish divergence combined with an oversold RSI can be a strong buy signal.
5. **Dynamic Zones and Sensitivity**:
- **Good DCA Zones**: Highlighting zones where the divergence is significantly positive (good DCA zones) indicates periods where Bitcoin might be undervalued relative to economic conditions, suggesting good buying opportunities.
- **Red Zones**: Marking zones with extremely negative divergence, combined with RSI confirmation, identifies potential market tops or bearish conditions. This helps traders avoid buying into overbought markets or consider selling.
- **Peak Detection**: The sensitivity setting for detecting upside down peaks allows for early identification of potential market bottoms, providing timely entry points for traders.
6. **Visual Cues and Alerts**:
- **Clear Visualization**: The plots and background colors provide immediate visual feedback, making it easier for traders to spot significant conditions without deep analysis.
- **Alerts**: Built-in alerts for key conditions (good DCA zones, red zones, sell signals) ensure traders can act promptly based on the indicator's signals, enhancing the practicality of the tool.
### Conclusion
The "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" indicator integrates macroeconomic data with technical analysis to offer a comprehensive view of Bitcoin's market conditions. By analyzing the divergence between M2 money supply and Bitcoin prices, normalizing and smoothing the data, and incorporating RSI for momentum confirmation, the indicator provides robust signals for identifying potential buying and selling opportunities. This holistic approach increases the likelihood of capturing significant market movements and making informed trading decisions.

Jikdi Double EMA and 200 EMA Double EMA and 200 EMA Indicator
Overview:
The Double EMA and 200 EMA indicator combines two exponential moving averages (EMA) to provide insights into short-term and longer-term trends in a financial instrument's price movements.
Components:
Double EMA:
Calculation: The Double EMA is derived by applying the EMA formula twice to a given price series. First, an EMA is calculated based on a specified length (parameter). Then, a second EMA is computed on the first EMA result, resulting in a smoother moving average that reacts more quickly to recent price changes compared to a single EMA.
Purpose: The Double EMA helps traders identify short-term trends by smoothing out price fluctuations, making it easier to spot potential entry and exit points based on momentum shifts.
200 EMA:
Calculation: The 200 EMA is calculated by applying the EMA formula to the closing prices of the financial instrument over a longer period, typically 200 periods.
Purpose: The 200 EMA is widely used by traders and analysts to assess the long-term trend direction of an asset. It acts as a key support or resistance level and is considered significant in determining the overall market sentiment and potential reversals.
Usage:
Short-term Trading: Traders use the Double EMA to identify short-term trends and trade opportunities. When the Double EMA crosses above the price, it may signal a bullish trend, while a cross below the price could indicate a bearish trend.
Long-term Analysis: The 200 EMA serves as a reference for long-term trend analysis. Prices trading above the 200 EMA suggest a bullish bias, while trading below it indicates a bearish sentiment.
Interpretation:
Crossovers: Crosses between the Double EMA and the 200 EMA or crosses of the Double EMA with the price can be potential signals for entry or exit positions, depending on the trading strategy employed.
Trend Confirmation: Traders often look for confluence between short-term (Double EMA) and long-term (200 EMA) trends to confirm the strength of a trend or to identify potential reversals.
Conclusion:
The Double EMA and 200 EMA indicator provides a comprehensive view of both short-term momentum and longer-term trend direction. By combining these moving averages, traders can make informed decisions based on the dynamics of price movements and trend confirmations.

Bollinger Bands with Squeeze and SMA Indicator Description: BB+SMA
Overview:
Bollinger Bands (BB): Computes and plots three bands based on a selected moving average type (SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA) and standard deviation multiplier. The bands indicate potential support and resistance levels relative to price volatility.
Squeeze Condition: Detects periods of low volatility (squeeze) when the distance between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands narrows significantly. This condition can signal potential price breakouts.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Calculates and plots a simple moving average based on user-defined length. It smooths price data to highlight trends and potential reversals.
Smoothing Line: Further enhances the SMA by applying different smoothing methods (SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA) over a specified smoothing length. It helps in identifying smoother trends and changes in direction.
Key Components:
Inputs: Users can adjust parameters such as Bollinger Bands length, type of moving average, standard deviation multiplier, squeeze condition length, squeeze threshold percentage, SMA length, smoothing method, and smoothing length.
Plotting: Displays the Bollinger Bands (basis, upper, lower), SMA, squeeze condition bands (basis, upper, lower), and a smoothing line on the chart.
Visualization: Utilizes different colors and line styles for clarity in visualizing each component's plot on the chart.
Purpose:
Helps traders identify potential price volatility, trend reversals, and breakout opportunities using Bollinger Bands, SMA, squeeze conditions, and smoothed moving averages.
Enhances technical analysis by providing clear visual cues for trend strength and potential entry/exit points based on the specified parameters.
Conclusion:
The "BB+SMA" indicator integrates multiple technical analysis tools into a single script, offering traders a comprehensive approach to analyzing price movements and making informed trading decisions directly on TradingView charts.
PFCF Price BandPFCF Price Band shows price calculated using the previous period's high and low P/TTM FCFPS (TTM's price to free cash flow per share over the last 12 months) multiplied by TTM's current FCFPS ( Similar to price theory = P/E x expected earnings per share)
If the current P/FCFPS is lower than the minimum P/FCFPS, it is considered cheap. In other words, above the maximum P/FCFPS is considered expensive.
PFCF Price Band consists of 2 parts.
- Firstly, the historical P/FCFPS value in "Green" (if TTM FCFPS is positive) or "Red" (if TTM FCFPS is negative) status changes based on the latest high or low price of TTM FCFPS.
- Second, the blue line is the closing price divided by TTM FCFPS, which shows the current P/FCF.
P.S. It is recommended to use it together with the PE Band indicator because just net profit does not mean that a company has good cash flow.
Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV)Overview
The Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV) indicator enhances the traditional Bollinger Bands by dynamically adjusting their width and position based on momentum and volume. This provides a more responsive and context-aware indication of price volatility and potential reversals.
Key Features
Momentum Adjusted Bands: Adjusts the bands' width based on the momentum indicator, reflecting the rate of change in price.
Volume Weighted Bands: Further adjusts the bands based on trading volume to reflect market activity and price volatility.
Signal Alerts: Provides buy and sell signals based on price action relative to the dynamic bands, helping traders identify entry and exit points.
Customizable Parameters: Allows users to adjust the lookback period, momentum sensitivity, and volume weighting for personalized analysis.
How It Works
The DBBMV indicator starts with the traditional Bollinger Bands, which are calculated using a moving average and standard deviation of the selected price source. The width of these bands is then adjusted based on the momentum of the price, making them more sensitive to price changes. Further adjustments are made based on trading volume, which ensures that the bands accurately reflect current market conditions. This results in a set of dynamic Bollinger Bands that provide more nuanced insights into price volatility and potential reversals.
Usage Instructions
Identify Volatile Periods: Use the dynamically adjusted bands to identify periods of high and low volatility in the market.
Spot Reversals: Look for buy signals when the price crosses above the lower band and sell signals when the price crosses below the upper band.
Adjust Sensitivity: Customize the lookback period, momentum sensitivity, and volume weighting to fine-tune the indicator to your specific trading strategy and market conditions.
Enhance Analysis: Combine the DBBMV indicator with other technical analysis tools for a more comprehensive market analysis.
Volume Confirmation: Use the volume-weighted adjustments to confirm the strength of price movements and potential breakouts.
The Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV) indicator provides traders with a powerful tool to understand market dynamics better and make informed trading decisions based on adjusted volatility and market activity.

VAWSI and Trend Persistance Reversal Strategy SL/TPThis is a completely revamped version of my "RSI and ATR Trend Reversal Strategy."
What's New?
The RSI has been replaced with an original indicator of mine, the "VAWSI," as I've elected to call it.
The standard RSI measures a change in an RMA to determine the strength of a movement.
The VAWSI performs very similarly, except it uses another original indicator of mine, the VAWMA.
VAWMA stands for "Volume (and) ATR Weight Moving Average." It takes an average of the volume and ATR and uses the ratio of each bar to weigh a moving average of the source.
It has the same formula as an RSI, but uses the VAWMA instead of an RMA.
Next we have the Trend Persistence indicator, which is an index on how long a trend has been persisting for. It is another original indicator. It takes the max deviation the source has from lowest/highest of a specified length. It then takes a cumulative measure of that amount, measures the change, then creates a strength index with that amount.
The VAWSI is a measure of an emerging trend, and the Trend Persistence indicator is a measure of how long a trend has persisted.
Finally, the 3rd main indicator, is a slight variation of an ATR. Rather than taking the max of source - low or high- source and source - source , it instead takes the max of high-low and the absolute value of source - the previous source. It then takes the absolute value of the change of this, and normalizes it with the source.
Inputs
Minimum SL/TP ensures that the Stop Loss and Take Profit still exist in untrendy markets. This is the minimum Amount that will always be applied.
VAWSI Weight is a divided by 100 multiplier for the VAWSI. So value of 200 means it is multiplied by 2. Think of it like a percentage.
Trend Persistence weight and ATR Weight are applied the same. Higher the number, the more impactful on the final calculation it is.
Combination Mult is an outright multiplier to the final calculation. So a 2.0 = * 2.0
Trend Persistence Smoothing Length is the length of the weighted moving average applied to the Trend Persistence Strength index.
Length Cycle Decimal is a replacement of length for the script.
Here we used BlackCat1402's Dynamic Length Calculation, which can be found on his page. With his permission we have implemented it into this script. Big shout out to them for not only creating, but allowing us to use it here.
The Length Cycle Decimal is used to calculate the dynamic length. Because TradingView only allows series int for their built-in library, a lot of the baseline indicators we use have to be manually recreated as functions in the following section.
The Strategy
As usual, we use Heiken Ashi values for calculations.
We begin by establishing the minimum SL/TP for use later.
Next we determine the amount of bars back since the last crossup or crossdown of our threshold line.
We then perform some normalization of our multipliers. We want a larger trend or larger VAWSI amount to narrow the threshold, so we have 1 divide them. This way, a higher reading outputs a smaller number and vice versa. We do this for both Trend Persistence, and the VAWSI.
The VAWSI we also normalize, where rather than it being a 0-100 reading of trend direction and strength, we absolute it so that as long as a trend is strong, regardless of direction, it will have a higher reading. With these normalized values, we add them together and simply subtract the ATR measurement rather than having 1 divide it.
Here you can see how the different measurements add up. A lower final number suggests imminent reversal, and a higher final number suggests an untrendy or choppy market.
ATR is in orange, the Trend Persistence is blue, the VAWSI is purple, and the final amount is green.
We take this final number and depending on the current trend direction, we multiply it by either the Highest or Lowest source since the last crossup or crossdown. We then take the highest or lowest of this calculation, and have it be our Stop Loss or Take Profit. This number cannot be higher/lower than the previous source to ensure a rapid spike doesn't immediately close your position on a still continuing trend. As well, the threshold cannot be higher/ lower than the the specified Stop Loss and Take Profit
Only after the source has fully crossed these lines do we consider it a crossup or crossdown. We confirm this with a barstate.isconfirmed to prevent repainting. Next, each time there is a crossup or crossdown we enter a long or a short respectively and plot accordingly.
I have the strategy configured to "process on order close" to ensure an accurate backtesting result. You could also set this to false and add a 1 bar delay to the "if crossup" and "if crossdown" lines under strategy so that it is calculated based on the open of the next bar.
Final Notes
The amounts have been preconfigured for performance on RIOT 5 Minute timeframe. Other timeframes are viable as well. With a few changes to the parameters, this strategy has backtested well on NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, and AMD. I recommend before altering settings to try other timeframes first.
This script does not seem to perform nearly as well in typically untrendy and choppy markets such as crypto and forex. With some setting changes, I have seen okay results with crypto, but overfitting could be the cause there.
Thank you very much, and please enjoy.
Percentage GridPercentage Grid Indicator
Description:
The Percentage Grid indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying significant support and resistance levels based on yearly percentage changes. This indicator plots horizontal lines on the chart from the start of the year, allowing you to customize how much percentage each line represents. Currently, you can set up to 5 horizontal lines, each representing a different percentage change from the beginning of the year.
For instance, when applied to the SBI Bank stock, you can customize the lines to display various percentage changes from the start of the year, such as 20%, 25%, and up to 35%, as the SBIN stock is currently trading around these levels. This visualization helps traders to easily identify key levels where price action tends to react, providing valuable insights for making trading decisions.
Principles of Trading Technical Analysis:
The Percentage Grid indicator is grounded in the principle of support and resistance levels, which are fundamental concepts in technical analysis. These levels are specific price points on a chart that tend to act as barriers, preventing the price from getting pushed in a certain direction. The indicator helps in:
Identifying Support Levels: Price levels where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of buying interest.
Identifying Resistance Levels: Price levels where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest.
By customizing and plotting percentage-based horizontal lines, the indicator highlights these critical levels based on the percentage change from the start of the year.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
Search for "Percentage Grid" in the TradingView indicator library and add it to your chart.
Customize Percentage Levels:
Access the indicator settings to customize the percentage change each line represents.
You can set up to 5 different percentage levels. For example, you can set lines at 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40%.
Interpret the Grid Lines:
The plotted lines will represent the specified percentage changes from the start of the year.
Use these lines to identify potential support and resistance levels where price action is likely to react.
Practical Application:
Look for price bounces or reversals around these levels, which can indicate strong support or resistance.
Combine the Percentage Grid with other technical analysis tools, such as moving averages or trend lines, to confirm potential trading opportunities.
Example:
In the accompanying screenshot, the Percentage Grid is applied to the SBI Bank stock. The lines are set to display 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40% changes from the start of the year. Notice how the price action respects these levels, providing clear areas where support and resistance are evident.
By incorporating the Percentage Grid into your trading strategy, you can enhance your ability to identify key price levels and make more informed trading decisions.
Happy Trading!
Standard Error Bands**Standard Error Bands Indicator: A Statistically Robust Tool for Trend Analysis**
The Standard Error Bands (SEB) indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify and assess trends with greater accuracy. Unlike traditional band indicators (e.g., Bollinger Bands) that rely on price averages, SEB leverages linear regression and statistical measures of volatility to offer deeper insights into market dynamics.
**How It Works**
1. **Linear Regression:** The indicator first calculates a linear regression line to model the underlying price trend. This line represents the "best fit" of price data over the specified lookback period.
2. **Standard Error:** Next, it calculates the standard error of the regression. This statistical measure quantifies the average distance between actual prices and the regression line, effectively acting as a volatility gauge.
3. **Smoothing:** Both the linear regression line and the standard error values are smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to reduce noise and enhance the visual clarity of the bands.
4. **Band Construction:** The upper and lower bands are formed by adding/subtracting a multiple of the smoothed standard error from the smoothed linear regression line. The default multiplier is 2, representing approximately 95% of price action expected within the bands under normal market conditions.
**Key Insights**
* **Trend Strength:** Tight bands suggest a strong, well-defined trend with low volatility. Prices tend to adhere closely to the regression line, indicating a high probability of trend continuation.
* **Trend Weakness/Change:** Widening or expanding bands signal increased volatility and potential trend weakness. Prices deviating from the regression line may suggest an impending trend reversal or a shift into a sideways consolidation phase.
* **Entry/Exit Signals:**
* Consider entering a trade when prices break out of the bands in the direction of the trend, especially if the bands were previously tight.
* Conversely, consider exiting a trade when prices pierce the bands against the trend or when the bands start to widen significantly.
**Use Cases**
* **Trend Identification:** SEB can help traders identify trends earlier and more accurately than moving average-based indicators.
* **Trend Confirmation:** The bands can be used to confirm the validity and strength of an existing trend.
* **Volatility Assessment:** Changes in band width provide valuable insights into market volatility, aiding risk management decisions.
* **Entry/Exit Timing:** SEB can be incorporated into trading strategies to generate timely entry and exit signals.
**Important Considerations**
* **Parameter Optimization:** Experiment with different lookback periods, smoothing values, and standard error multipliers to find the optimal settings for your preferred trading style and market conditions.
* **Supplementary Indicators:** Combine SEB with other technical indicators (e.g., momentum oscillators, volume analysis) for a more comprehensive market assessment.
* **Backtesting:** Thoroughly backtest any SEB-based trading strategy to ensure its effectiveness before deploying it in live markets.
**Disclaimer:** Technical indicators like SEB are valuable tools but should not be used in isolation. Always consider price action or fundamental factors and risk management principles when making trading decisions.
