Deviation Trend Profile​

chewie76 said:
This is an adaptation of the Deviation Trend Profile converted from Tradingview to Thinkorswim.

A statistical trend analysis tool that combines moving average dynamics with standard deviation zones and trend-specific price distribution.

Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates ±1, ±2, ±3 and ±4 levels from the SMA using ATR, forming dynamic envelopes around the mean.
The shaded areas are the 3-4 standard deviation from a moving average (default 50 SMA). Notice in the below picture of /GC on the four-hour timeframe, price was rejected every single time when it hit the ±4 levels.

Color Candles can be turned on/off in settings and align with the Standard Deviation Zones.

The Awesome ADX​

ADX Enhanced with labels and slope calculations to identify trend strength

Strongly Bullish = slope > +1.5 (DARK_GREEN)

Neutral = -0.5 to +0.5 (YELLOW)
Moderately Bearish = -1.5 to -0.5 (PINK)
Strongly Bearish = slope < -1.5 (RED)

The Basics Of Reversal Trading​

MerryDay said:
First, make sure that your instrument is a suitable reversal trade [link].

Second, New traders:
Love mean reversion because the payoff looks huge—6–10% on a single trade versus the 2% most trend traders aim for. The problem? They often jump in too soon, assuming “it can’t go lower” and they fear missing out.Without a real catalyst or tested support, those trades either sit dead in the water or sink further. That mix of FOMO and guessing makes reversal trading especially risky for beginners.

If you’re new to mean reversion, remember this:...

ATR Parabolic SAR (PSAR ) Strategy​

samer800 said:
Created a version of Parabolic SAR when I accelerate it not based on the difference from the extreme point but based on current ATR. So the idea is that for a more volatile market it should move faster.

Cumulative Delta Volume Pressure​

MerryDay said:
CAVEAT:

Members will sometimes mistake these indicators as defining Volume: Buyers and Sellers. Buyers and Sellers information is NOT available from the ToS data feeds.

When we look at the movement of price in comparison to volume, it is called Volume Pressure. The script discussed here are representative of the PRICE spread compared to the overall volume spread.

We create a percentage for buying and selling pressure by using the candlestick patterns versus volume.
Volume Pressure identifies the price movement which when aggregated against volume it is used to define MOMENTUM not actual buyers and sellers.
