AMT Studies

Volatility-based trend-following with ATR and adaptive moving averages

A volatility-based trend-following system that uses a combination of the Average True Range (ATR) and adaptive moving averages to gauge market trends and strength. Includes Trend bands for direction, a Strength subgraph for momentum, a dynamic Stop level, and an Adaptive Moving Average that adjusts to price volatility.

Trend detection via WMA and shifted EMA relationship

Built on the relationship between the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) and a shifted Exponential Moving Average (EMA). By comparing the position of the WMA relative to a shifted EMA, the indicator provides a visual representation of potential market trends.

ATR + Cycles integration for dynamic support and resistance

An advanced technical analysis tool that integrates the Average True Range (ATR) and Cycles to provide insights into market trends. It produces two adaptive trend lines — Alpha and Beta — that serve as dynamic support and resistance levels, with color-coded bars showing the relationship between price and the trend lines.

Volatility-adjusted exponential moving average using Rate of Change

An innovative study that blends traditional exponential moving averages (EMA) with volatility adjustments based on Rate of Change (ROC). The EMA is continuously adjusted based on the absolute ROC value, ensuring the moving average mirrors not just the direction but also the magnitude of price movements.

Combined Time and Price analysis for trend strength and reversal detection

A unified study combining AMT's Time and Price methodologies into a single tool. The Price component acts as a leading indicator of directional changes using volume-weighted momentum, while the Time component reads overbought/oversold in a way that's counterintuitive to traditional oscillators — you buy when entering overbought and sell when entering oversold. This is the correct AMT read: momentum entering overbought means strength is building, not exhaustion.

Bar coloring based on the 34 EMA wave for visual trend identification

Colors chart bars based on their relationship to the 34-period Exponential Moving Average wave. Provides an instant visual read of whether price is trending above or below the EMA wave, making trend direction immediately apparent.

Bid/offer volume ratios for reading market sentiment and aggressive participation

Calculates and plots efficiency ratios for bid and offer volumes over a configurable look-back period. Provides insights into market sentiment by analyzing the proportion of volume at bid vs. ask prices. A decreasing Bid Efficiency during a rising price suggests aggressive buying at the offer is driving the move. An increasing Offer Efficiency during a rising price indicates bullish sentiment through aggressive buying activity.

Delta-based buy/sell signals with standard deviation thresholds

Displays chart indications when delta % exceeds specified thresholds, based on standard deviations from the average value of delta %. Additionally displays indications when intrabar delta reversal occurs, as determined based on the commitment of buyers and sellers.

Volume tape breakout signals with moving average filtering

Displays indications when Volume Tape exceeds a specified distance, measured in standard deviations, from the average Volume. Signals can be filtered based on the location of current price vs. a moving average, giving optimized directional signals.

Tick-level delta analysis for granular buyer/seller pressure

Analyzes delta at the tick level for a granular view of buyer vs. seller pressure within each bar. Provides a more detailed picture of order flow than standard bar-level delta calculations.

Momentum indicator weighted by volume for confirmation of moves

A momentum indicator that incorporates volume into its calculation, giving more weight to price moves backed by strong volume participation. Helps distinguish between legitimate momentum shifts and low-volume noise.

Enhanced VWAP implementation with additional analytical layers

An enhanced Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) implementation that adds analytical layers beyond standard VWAP. Calculates VWAP with 1st and 2nd standard deviation bands across five timeframes — Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly — plus previous period high/low VWAP levels for each. Provides precision price benchmarking for intraday futures trading.

Two-layered stochastic analysis for short-term and long-term momentum

Integrates two Stochastic oscillators to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum. The dual approach offers a layered perspective on potential price movements, with overbought/oversold zones and signal crosses indicating trading opportunities.

Cross-timeframe alert aggregation in tabular format

A custom study for importing alerts from a linked chart and displaying them in tabular format, similar to Sierra Chart's 'Number Bars Calculated Values' study. Enables multi-timeframe signal confirmation from a single chart view.

Buy/sell signals based on bullish and bearish bar pattern sequences

Designed to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on unique bar patterns in price action. Scans for sequences of bearish followed by bullish bars and vice versa, with clear visual indicators and optional 1-tick wick flexibility.

Detects divergence between price and oscillator for reversal signals

Automatically detects divergence between price action and oscillator readings — a classic precursor to trend reversals. Identifies both regular and hidden divergence patterns, with optional warning signals for developing divergences. Includes confluence and balance filters for signal refinement.

Measures percentage deviation of price from its moving average

A Japanese technical indicator that measures the percentage deviation of the current price from its simple moving average. When the deviation is extreme, it signals that price may revert to the mean — useful for identifying overbought and oversold conditions.

Dynamic level calculations for key price zones

Calculates and displays dynamic distribution levels (Daily Distribution Top & Bottom) based on the prior day's high and low. Designed for use on a daily chart — overlay the resulting levels onto any intraday chart for key support and resistance reference points.

Simplified implementation of the Larry Williams Proxy Index

A simplified implementation of the Larry Williams Proxy Index (LWPI), a momentum oscillator used to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The line dynamically colors itself based on whether the value is above or below the midline, providing an instant visual read on momentum direction.

Pattern recognition for three-bar reversal setups

Automatically identifies three-bar reversal patterns in price action — a well-known setup where a sequence of three bars signals a potential change in direction. Includes optional EMA-based trend confirmation to filter signals in the direction of the prevailing trend.

Tracks and displays session highs and lows across trading sessions

Automatically tracks and displays the high, low, and midpoint of five configurable trading sessions — US, London, Asian, Overnight, and Initial Balance. Each session has independently configurable start/end times and includes body high/low levels. All levels are drawn as dashed lines with labels for quick identification.

Automatic detection of Break of Structure and Change of Character

Automatically identifies and labels Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) events on the chart using confirmed swing highs and lows. BOS confirms trend continuation while CHoCH signals a potential trend reversal — core concepts in structural price action. Draws labeled lines at each structural break with configurable style.

Composite market internals gauge with VIX integration

A market internals indicator that synthesizes breadth data (TICK, NISS, NVOL, TRIN) with optional VIX-based volatility adjustment to produce a single composite pressure reading. Features three analysis modes (Balanced, Aggressive, Institutional Slow), rolling z-score normalization, regime detection, and gap analysis. Displayed in a separate chart region with fast and slow EMA lines.

Automated trailing stop/stop-limit entries that follow price

Enables submission and management of buy/sell orders that trail current price. Buy orders are submitted as stop (or stop-limit) orders above current price; sell orders below. If the distance between a resting order and current price exceeds the specified threshold, the order is automatically adjusted. Multiple trail entries can be managed simultaneously.

Research tool for evaluating which entry signals perform best

An entry research tool that helps you evaluate and compare signal performance. References any study's buy/sell signals and backtests them across configurable entry logic, trade windows, and bar evaluation limits. Results are displayed in a dedicated optimizer window with trade statistics and equity curve — no subgraphs are drawn on the chart itself.

Visual indicator showing which chart is currently active

Provides a visual highlight on the currently active chart window, making it immediately obvious which chart has focus. Draws a configurable colored band with optional badge text at the top of the active chart. Essential for multi-chart setups where you need to quickly identify your active workspace.

Displays the current chart type and settings on the chart

Shows the current chart type configuration directly on the chart as a text overlay. Automatically detects the chart type — Minutes, Volume, Trades/Tick, or Range — and displays it with the period value. Useful in multi-chart layouts where you need to quickly confirm chart settings at a glance.
