The TDI CROSS is designed to provide a histogram-based representation of trend crossovers using principles derived from the Traders Dynamic Index (TDI). This indicator incorporates Multi-Timeframe (MTF) functionality and filtering options to assist in analyzing market trends.

Main Functionalities
-Triple-MA Crossover Logic: Identifies bullish and bearish signals through the crossover of a fast MA, medium MA, and slow MA applied to RSI.
-Histogram Display: Presents signals as a histogram, with colors indicating the trend state and strength, adjusted by a Level 50 filter.
-Level 50 Filter Modes: Offers three modes (No Filter, Level 50 Filter, Level 50 soft) to filter signals based on the Yellow Line’s position relative to the 50 level, including a hysteresis option to reduce noise.
-MTF Capability: Supports signal calculation on any timeframe (current or higher), facilitating cross-timeframe trend analysis.
-TDI Trend Label: Displays a label aligned with TDI’s trend bias, where the direction label’s color reflects the histogram’s color scheme.

Reading the Histogram Colors
The histogram’s colors indicate the trend state and signal strength:
-Light Green (Bullish): Represents a basic bullish crossover when No Filter is selected.
-Dark Green (Strong Bullish): Indicates a trend-aligned bullish signal (Yellow Line ≥ 50) when Filters are active.
-Light Red (Bearish): Represents a basic bearish crossover when No Filter is selected.
-Dark Red (Strong Bearish): Indicates a trend-aligned bearish signal (Yellow Line < 50) when Filters are active.
-Grey (Neutral): Shown when no crossover signal is present or when the trend conditions are not met.

Hello Cagliostro. Amazing indicator, and thank you! Please check it, it leaves behind a very large log file (5gb for my case). (TDI histo)

+C+: thank you! It'd be fixed now.

Black Zones is a converted and optimized support and demand indicator inspired by the popular MT4 Shved Supply and Demand. It is designed to identify key liquidity zones on any forex, indices, metals or crypto chart. By leveraging fractal analysis and ATR, it pinpoints high-probability reversal zones, helping traders make informed decisions. Version 1.0 enhances the original logic with a robust ATR filter, a new level scanner, an improved MTF support, and a toggle button.

Features:
-Accurate Zone Detection: Identifies support/resistance zones using fast and slow fractals.
-Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support: Displays higher timeframe zones on lower timeframe charts.
-Retest Counter: Tracks zone retests for strength assessment (Proven, Verified, etc.).
-Customizable Settings: Adjust zone appearance, ATR fuzz factor, and merge/extend options.
-Toggle Button: Show/hide zones with a single click for chart clarity.
-Alerts & Notifications: Pop-ups, sounds, and mobile alerts for zone entries.
I was waiting for this type of indicator for MT5. Thank you for making this available for all of us!
Adding layers to decision making, as always! :)

I thought that could be interesting to share with you some of the MT5 stuff I am testing, researching and coding. As some of you know, I switched fully to MT5 last month, so am working to improve my MT5 arsenal.

List of Indicators
-The Oracle
-AVWAP with Bands
-Radius Trend
-X-Stoch
-KoncordePlus
-Spearman-Pearson with Entries
-Black Zones

Rules are simple.
-This is a testing lab, you don't pay to get and test stuff, it's all free.
-As per above, feedback and suggestions will be much appreciated.
-But no complaints or lamentations will be appreciated or considered.

Today's the Spring Equinox, the real start of the new year! So there is no better day to start sharing something!

The Oracle
In the shadowed depths of Delphi ancient ruins, where logic and mystery intertwine, lies The Oracle—an artifact of unfathomable power. Forged in an era when the stars whispered secrets to the bold, it transcends mere computation, unveiling glimpses of fate’s hidden currents. Its cryptic code, a relic of a lost civilization, pulses with esoteric wisdom, inviting the daring to pierce the veil of time—though its full mysteries remain tantalizingly out of reach.

It includes 7 indicators chosen, tested and optimized among hundreds in the last 4 months, including the Ehlers's Universal Strength indicator and my Rolling VWAP. Keep it at level 6 for M1/M3/M5 trading and let me know how it goes. Happy Equinox!

****Update Log for the current Month****

May 7 Update, download it again.
-Added Trend Label TF
-Improved Array compaction logic
-Improved Timer Management for multi-instances
-Added buffering for MTF Sync

May 9 Update, download it again.
-Improved initialization data checks to minimize freezes on indicator loading and TF changes.
-Added unique instance IDs to enhance multi-instance support.
-Improved buffer management to prevent data corruption and reduce memory usage.
-Optimized VWAP calculations for large TF
-Updated HTF cache
-Improved memory clean-up mechanism to match the new multi-instance architecture

The Oracle.ex5

Note: if you face issues, please use version 2.0

Oracle 2.0.ex5
Hi Cagliostro. Would I have an arrow when Oracle changes color? appreciated.

+C+: Hi there, not now, the complexity of the indicator does not suggest to mess with plots on the main chart.

Black Zones
- Old version actively redrew the boxes as they were broken through or made. New version I have to change time frame for it to work.
- Old version worked with "Chart Refresher" new one does not, otherwise thank you!

Black Levels
- I see you have spoke about redoing the code, only 1 request if the previous Tokyo/Lon Fix can have a different color. If not its fine, it's more useful when you're on lower time frames. For now I just draw a line on the previous fix to distinguish the colors.

Now for a little yapping

I personally like the black levels a lot, I manually place my limits there, or my stops into BE if I'm in a trade. I'm not entirely sure on how to validate a strong black level aside from seeing the following coming into play.

1. Square Arrow/Any Arrow
2. Black Zone forms
3. Any EMA cross over (13/55 here)
4. Black level can normally form before the EMA cross and I feel like that's when its more likely to hold.

After that you have a good chance of the 2nd mini dot respecting it and going lower to break a zone, come back, and make the 4th mini dot.

Do you have any other information on the black levels? At face value I think I'm using it right, the numbers I use as kind of a guide of the current trend strength. (I have mine set to show the last 25) Anywhere from 5-15 I am pretty confident in still placing a trade in the trend as long as the Oracle is still on my side. Once it starts to reach around 15-20~25 I start to look and see to my left what I'm approaching. I have no way of determining if 25 is a good number to have print, it's just what I like for now.

Sorry if this is not the place to discuss your indicators, but if anyone else has any settings or observations they've made with these I'd appreciate if they shared! Thank you for the dedication and sharing of your work, Cagliostro.

I don't know if this helps, if I read about Black Levels, it always reminds "FVGs on steroids".

This is from the MT4 Alkemix thread version 3 release:
post1295548749.html#p1295548749

"2 - Black Levels, these levels are a version of FVG on steroids, as they indicate inefficiences in price action and work as strong magnets for it. PA moves from one level to the next one, simply as that. If you don't see a level waiting for your PA change timeframe and you will find it for sure."
