Last Update 2 days ago

The RazorLake ALPHA indicator overlays on your chart and provides visual cues like custom candles, trend lines, Fibonacci zones, and buy/sell signals. It aggregates data from Binance and Coinbase for crypto
assets, focusing on USD, USDT, and USDC pairs, and uses advanced calculations like On-Balance Volume (OBV), Gaussian regression, and Unscented Kalman Filters to smooth data and identify trends.

Key Features

IQ Candles:
  • These show buying and selling volume trends with color-coded candles.
  • Pale
    green and purple candles highlight high-volume bars, indicating strong market activity.
  • Colors reflect trend strength: bright green for strong bullish, bright red for strong bearish, yellow/orange for mixed signals, and white/blue for neutral trends.

Fibonacci Zones:
  • Premium & Discount Zones: These are Fibonacci-based support and resistance areas calculated on lower timeframes, helping you identify potential reversal or breakout points.
  • Fib Magnet: Displays bullish or bearish market stance on higher timeframes using Fibonacci retracement levels (0.5 and 0.618).

Trend Indicators:
  • Regression Trend (RT): A smoothed trend line using Gaussian filtering and ATR-based channels to show market direction.
  • Volatility Range uses an Unscented Kalman Filter to plot dynamic support/resistance bands, helping you gauge market volatility.
  • The Volume-Weighted Average Price is anchored to daily sessions and used as a reference for fair value.
  • A daily 200-period Exponential Moving Average helps you track long-term trends.

Momentum Signals:
  • Fast momentum flips generate buy and sell signals based on trend changes and volatility.
  • Signals can be filtered by volume, RSI, or channel breakouts for higher accuracy.

Settings & Customisation

You can adjust the indicator through the input settings, grouped for ease of use:


Candles Group:

  • Candles:
    Choose between Regular, IQ (volume-based), Long Only, or Short Only candles.
  • Clean: Enable arithmetic candles for smoother price data using linear regression.
  • Dynamic: Adjusts candle opacity based on volume intensity (disable for static colors).

Macro Group:
  • Toggle Premium & Discount to show Fibonacci support/resistance zones.
  • Enable Fib Magnet for higher-timeframe Fibonacci levels.
  • Show 200 DEMA for the daily 200 EMA.

Trend Group:

  • Enable VWAP, Trend (RLRT), or Volatility Range to display these overlays.


Signals & Filters Group:

  • Signals: Turn on momentum-based buy/sell signals.

  • Filters: Add volume, RSI, or channel filters to reduce false signals.

  • Sensitivity: Adjusts signal sensitivity (0.1 to 2.0; default 1.0). Lower (e.g., 0.7) for conservative signals, higher (e.g., 1.6) for volatile assets.

  • Timeframe: Set a custom timeframe for signal calculations (leave blank for chart timeframe).


Data Group:

  • Use Chart Data Only: Use only the chart’s data or include aggregated Binance/Coinbase data.

  • Stables/Perps: Include USDT/USDC stablecoin pairs or perpetual futures for crypto volume calculations.

How to use it

Add to Chart:

  • In TradingView, search for "RL: RazorLake ALPHA" and add it to your chart.

  • Ensure
    you’re on a supported market (crypto works best due to data aggregation)


Interpret Visuals:

  • Candles: Watch for green/purple IQ candles to spot high-volume moves. Bright green/red indicate strong trends; yellow/orange suggest caution.

  • Fibonacci Zones: Look for price reactions near Premium (resistance) or Discount (support) zones. Fib Magnet lines (yellow/orange) show higher-timeframe bias.

  • Trend Lines: Use RLRT (aqua/purple) and VWAP (yellow) to confirm trend direction. Volatility bands (purple) show potential reversal zones.

  • Signals: Green triangles (buy) and red triangles (sell) appear below/above bars when momentum shifts. Use filters to refine these signals.

Customize Settings:

  • Open the indicator settings and enable/disable features based on your strategy.

  • For scalping, enable signals with volume filters and lower sensitivity. For swing trading, focus on Fib Magnet and 200 EMA.


Trading Tips:

  • Combine signals with Fibonacci zones for confluence. For example, a buy signal near a Discount zone is stronger.

  • Use Volatility Range to set stop-losses outside the bands.

  • Monitor VWAP to gauge whether the price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) fair value.


Alerts:

  • Set alerts for buy/sell signals via the “Signal” alert condition. Customize messages to include price, ticker, and timeframe for integration with platforms like Phemex.

Best practices

Test First: Look back using the indicator on your chosen market and
timeframe to understand its behavior.


Combine with Other Tools: Use alongside other indicators or price action for confirmation.


Avoid Overloading: Don’t enable all features at once; start with IQ Candles and Signals, then add Fibonacci or Trend as needed.


Crypto Focus: The indicator shines with crypto due to Binance/Coinbase data aggregation, but you can use “Chart Data Only” for stocks or forex.
