The landscape of technical analysis is constantly evolving, with traders seeking robust tools to identify trends, momentum shifts, and high-probability entry points. This guide explores a selection of powerful indicators designed to enhance decision-making across various asset classes, from equities and forex to cryptocurrencies.
Real-Time Momentum and Candle Analysis
DeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector
DeltaStrike is a real-time tool that identifies the most aggressive candles on a chart using pure price action. It calculates an aggressiveness score by combining delta (directional strength), candle range, and volume. When this score surpasses a dynamic threshold based on recent market behavior, the candle is marked as an aggressive move.
Bullish aggressive candles appear as green diamonds below the candle, while bearish ones show as red diamonds above. This visual system helps traders quickly spot moments of strong directional pressure where potential trends or reversals may emerge. The logic adapts automatically to changing market volatility and volume, making it suitable for all instruments and timeframes.
An integrated dashboard displays live readings of key components contributing to each candle's score: delta ratio, range ratio, and volume ratio. This transparency helps traders understand the internal structure behind each aggressive move.
Advanced Trend Identification Systems
Savitzky Flow Bands
This advanced trend-following tool applies the Savitzky-Golay smoothing algorithm to price data, creating dynamic trend bands that visualize directional bias and trend strength. Unlike traditional moving averages, this scientific smoothing method offers a more refined trend path with minimal lag.
Key features include dynamic trend bands constructed from the filtered line with an offset based on recent volatility (ATR). These bands shift with price pressure and lock when price closes beyond them, helping identify breakout moments or exhaustion areas. Trend direction is confirmed when price breaks and closes above the upper band (uptrend) or below the lower band (downtrend).
A unique visual decay line shows how long a trend has been active since the last reversal, becoming more transparent as the trend persists. This fading effect helps traders anticipate potential exhaustion zones. Diamond markers at each market shift provide clear visual cues for entry, exit, or stop-loss adjustments.
Lowess Channel + RSI
This indicator combines the LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing) algorithm with RSI analysis for comprehensive trend analysis. LOWESS is a non-parametric regression method that smooths noisy data while preserving structure, creating a dynamic channel with minimal lag.
The system generates a central trend line and deviation-based bands, with the midline changing color based on trend direction. Diamond markers appear at potential trend shifts, while an RSI gauge at the channel's end displays current momentum levels relative to price position.
Traders can use the LOWESS midline as a trend filter (bullish when green, bearish when purple), watch for shift diamonds as potential entry/exit signals, and utilize bands to identify overbought/oversold zones based on volatility. The RSI gauge provides additional momentum confirmation.
Multi-Indicator Convergence Strategies
Multi-Indicator Signals with Selectable Options
This versatile Pine Script strategy generates buy/sell signals based on combinations of RSI, CCI, and Stochastic Oscillator. Users can select which combination to display, making it highly adaptable to different trading styles.
The system offers five signal types:
- RSI & CCI combination
- RSI & Stochastic combination
- CCI & Stochastic combination
- All three indicators requiring alignment
- Individual signals from each indicator separately
Clear visual cues include arrows (green for buy, red for sell), "BUY"/"SELL" labels, and vertical lines extending from candle lows to highs for precise entry points. The system includes input validation, ATR-based offset to prevent clutter, and automatic management of visual elements to maintain a clean chart.
Optimus Trader
This comprehensive indicator combines volume analysis, moving averages, VWAP, and candlestick pattern recognition (Pin Bars and Inside Bars) to identify entry and exit points. It uses a 50-period simple moving average and VWAP to determine trend direction, with volume thresholds filtering false signals.
A unique feature is approximate liquidity zone detection, identifying recent support and resistance levels to strengthen signal relevance. Buy signals trigger when bullish Pin Bars or Inside Bars appear in an uptrend with high volume near liquidity zones, with reverse conditions for sell signals.
Predictive Channel and Projection Tools
Future Trend Channel
This dynamic tool identifies trends and projects future prices using SMA and volatility calculations. It plots color-coded channels (green for uptrend, orange for downtrend) that adapt based on momentum changes. When momentum decreases, channels turn neutral, indicating potential ranging markets.
A standout feature is future price projection—the indicator generates projected price levels up to 50 bars ahead based on channel midpoints. Lime-colored diamonds confirm valid uptrend channels, while orange diamonds mark downtrend channels, helping identify strong trends and entry points.
Trend Levels
Focused on identifying key trend levels (High, Mid, and Low) during market movements, this indicator calculates highest, lowest, and mid-level values over a customizable period. It provides trend shift signals through arrows when trends change direction.
The system measures trend strength by calculating the ratio of candles closing above or below the midline, displayed as a percentage-based delta. Midline retests often serve as potential zones for pullbacks or rejections, offering entry opportunities or trend continuation confirmation.
Statistical and Regression Analysis
Regression Indicator
This tool helps identify trends and potential reversals by calculating a regression line and normalized regression indicator. It provides clear visual signals through color-coded candles and arrow markers based on the regression indicator's value.
The system calculates linear regression coefficients (slope and intercept) and derives the normalized distance of price from the regression line. Crosses above or below the zero line signal potential trend changes, while reversion signals mark possible reversal points.
Multi-Asset Histogram
Designed for comparing multiple assets, this indicator calculates trend scores for each selected symbol based on price performance relative to historical values. It displays results in a histogram format with color gradients from red (negative) to aqua (positive).
A table shows the dominant asset (highest score) and mean score of all assets, updating dynamically. This visualization helps traders quickly identify strongest and weakest performers across a basket of assets.
Volume and Price Level Analysis
Volume Positive & Negative Levels
This indicator provides clear visualization of volume activity across different price levels, plotting volume as histograms to identify significant buying (positive volume) and selling (negative volume) pressure.
Using a lookback period of 500 bars, it calculates volume dynamically based on price action, with distinct colors differentiating buying and selling pressure. Threshold settings highlight significant volume levels, while bin granularity allows customized detail levels.
Higher Timeframe High & Low
This tool plots key levels (high, low, and average price) from a higher timeframe onto the current chart, helping identify significant support and resistance zones. It detects and labels breakout points above higher timeframe highs or below lows.
The system can display trend directions based on breakout conditions and marks support/resistance points with special symbols when current timeframe levels interact with higher timeframe levels.
Integrated Trading Systems
Ichimoku Buy Sell With Stoch RSI
This comprehensive system combines Ichimoku Cloud analysis with MACD, EMA, RSI, and Stochastic RSI. It generates signals based on Conversion Line/Base Line crossovers, price position relative to EMA 200, RSI levels, MACD histogram direction, and price extension from EMA 200.
Additional filtering uses Stoch RSI slope, requiring it to be declining for sell signals and rising for buy signals. Visual cues include green triangles below bars for buys and red triangles above for sells, with Ichimoku Cloud plotted in the background.
Buy Sell Calendar
This unique indicator displays a calendar showing daily or monthly sentiment using three methods: Linreg (linear regression slope), Accumulated Deltas (bullish/bearish price changes), or Max/Min (price position relative to trailing max/min average).
Green cells indicate bullish periods, red cells bearish periods, with vertical lines marking new days/months colored according to sentiment. The calendar can also highlight the percentage of bullish days/months for a given period.
Rotational Gravity Oscillator
This comparative oscillator analyzes momentum between two symbols using multiple lengths of adaptively smoothed, weighted modified Change of Gravity oscillators. It incorporates Bollinger Bands for bounds and color-coded signals indicating strength and direction.
Particularly useful for cryptocurrency trading, the default setup compares assets against the total crypto market cap, helping identify when specific cryptocurrencies are outperforming or lagging behind the broader market.
