VIDYA Indicator — Let Your Average Breathe With The Market
Perfect setup… but your moving average is late. Or you get chopped to bits as your “fast” MA flips every few bars. VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average) adapts its speed to volatility in real time—staying calm in noise, decisive when trends ignite. For ES • NQ • CL • GC intraday traders who want cleaner entries, clearer bias, and fewer fakeouts.
Lag Kills A-Setups
Fixed-speed MAs react after the move. By the time you get confirmation, the R:R edge is gone.
Volatility Whipsaws
When markets wake up, your filter either chops you up or misses the break entirely.
VIDYA Adapts In Real Time
It tightens as momentum expands and relaxes in chop—less lag, fewer fake flips, cleaner context.
Why VIDYA Beats “Just Another MA”
A conventional average uses a fixed length. VIDYA’s speed is dynamic, guided by volatility/momentum, so it tracks real conditions instead of guessing.
Clear Bias, Cleaner Entries
- Trend Lens: Color/bias shifts show direction at a glance.
- Pullback Zones: Dynamic “fair-value” bands for buying dips / selling pops.
- Momentum Pops: Rapid slope shift (“VIDYA Kink”) flags early acceleration.
- Chop Filter: Extra smoothing in low-energy regimes reduces over-trading.
- Multi-TF Confirm: Optional higher-TF overlay for added conviction.
What You’ll Feel On The Chart
- Earlier recognition of emerging trends.
- Structured pullback entries—no more “is this the dip?” paralysis.
- Fewer false flips during consolidations.
- More focus on A-setups, less screen-drift and FOMO.
Under The Hood (Simple)
Think EMA(price, dynamic length). Length tightens when momentum expands and loosens when it’s quiet. Result: adaptive, low-lag, practical.
Built-In Alerts When Trend Changes
Never miss the regime shift again. Configure alerts for:
- Trend Flip: Bias color change / cross-through events.
- Momentum Kink: Slope inflection to catch early acceleration.
- Band Interactions: Touch/Reject events at upper/lower dynamic bands.
Alerts support standard platform actions (sound, popup, email/push where available) to prompt, confirm, or automate.
Strategy-Ready Plots & Outputs
Wire VIDYA directly into strategies and Algo Studio Pro with machine-friendly outputs:
- Bias State: Long / Short / Neutral (boolean or enum).
- Slope & Kink Flags: Numeric slope plus discrete “kink” event.
- Dynamic Bands: Upper/Lower band levels + midline.
- Distance-to-Band: Normalized pullback metric for filters/triggers.
Example rule: If bias=Long AND kink=Up AND distance-to-lower-band < X → enable long setup.
See It In Action
Swap these placeholders for your chart shots/clips. Show a trend day, opening drive, and range rotation.
Trend Day: bias + bands align entries with the primary move.
Opening Drive: “Kink” slope shift highlights early ignition.
Range Day: adaptive smoothing reduces whipsaws in chop.
“Averages Are Always Late.”
Fixed ones, yes. VIDYA adapts to the market’s pace. When momentum expands, it tightens; when it slows, it smooths. That’s the edge.
“It’ll Over-Fit My Market.”
ES, NQ, CL, GC—VIDYA’s adaptive core travels well. No constant retuning between instruments or sessions.
“I Don’t Want A New Rulebook.”
Use VIDYA as your context layer. Keep your triggers—orderflow, footprint, RSI—and execute inside clearer structure.
“I Need Automation Hooks.”
Trend-change alerts and strategy-ready plots/flags are built-in—ideal for your automations and Algo Studio Pro playbooks.
