Indicator cards

Short cards for SpreadFighter indicators that have no article of their own: Oracle price, Alpha highlighter, Altucher Bollinger bands, Day high & low, Volume Price Trend, Take profit and stop loss, Trading sessions highlighter.

All indicators on this page are open on every plan, including Free, with no delay. Add them with the Indicators button on the chart: type the name from the card or "[SF]". The names, parameters and line labels of these indicators are in English in the interface — in both the English and the Russian version of the platform.

How the [SFM], [SFT] and [SFQA] tags work is explained in SpreadFighter indicators.

Oracle price

In the list: [SFM] Oracle price · on the chart: [SF] Oracle · where: over the candles

An orange step line — the Hyperliquid oracle price for the same market. On the main Hyperliquid exchange the oracle is a validator-weighted median of spot prices from several exchanges. On HIP-3 markets it is set by the market's deployer. The gap between the candle and the line is the perpetual's basis to the index.

• Hyperliquid only. On other exchanges' charts the indicator is empty.
• Timeframes: 1, 3, 5, 15, 30 minutes, 1 and 4 hours, 1 day. On the others, including seconds, there is no line.
• A bar's value is the oracle price at the bar's close. History exists only from the start of recording.

No parameters.

Alpha highlighter

In the list: [SFQA] Alpha highlighter · on the chart: [SF] α highlighter · where: over the candles

Draws rectangular zones on the price chart where the instrument's alpha to the benchmark formed a local peak or trough. The alpha itself is the same as in the [SFQA] Alpha indicator:

$$\alpha = R_p - \big(r_f + \beta\,(R_b - r_f)\big)$$

• $R_p$, $R_b$ — the return of the instrument and the benchmark over the Length window, in percent, on the hlc3 price;
• $\beta$ — the slope of the regression of the instrument's bar-to-bar returns on the benchmark's returns over the same window;
• $r_f$ — the risk-free rate (annual, in percent), scaled to the window length.

warning

The indicator is experimental and is not a trading signal — the tooltip on its parameters says so too. It works only for instruments correlated with the benchmark.

How zones appear

The last three closed bars are taken. If all three have alpha of the same sign, the middle bar is a peak when its absolute alpha is the largest of the three, and a trough when it is the smallest.

Zone	Color	When it disappears
Peak with positive alpha	red, with a border	price above the top of the zone
Peak with negative alpha	green, with a border	price below the bottom of the zone
Trough with positive alpha	cyan	after confirmation — a bar's low below the bottom of the zone
Trough with negative alpha	magenta	after confirmation — a bar's high above the top of the zone

An unconfirmed trough is drawn as an outline only and stretches to the current bar. A positive one is confirmed by a close above its top, a negative one by a close below its bottom. A close beyond the opposite edge flips it once into a trough of the other sign. Any zone disappears after Max bars lifetime bars.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	What it does
Benchmark ticker	BINANCE:BTCUSDT	Benchmark for alpha and beta
Risk free rate	10.95	Risk-free rate, % per year
Length	10	Calculation window, bars (at least 2)
Max bars lifetime	500	After how many bars a zone disappears
Mode	Active	Active — removed zones disappear; Highlighter — they stay faded for another quarter of the lifetime; History — nothing is removed or flipped
Invalidate peaks by wicks	on	A peak is removed when a wick touches it. If off — only by a close
Flip zones on opposite close	on	Flips a trough on a close beyond the opposite edge. If off — the trough just disappears

Altucher Bollinger bands

In the list: [SFT] Altucher Bollinger bands · on the chart: [SF] Altucher BB · where: over the candles

Two moving averages and an oversold mark under the price. The indicator does not draw the Bollinger bands themselves — they are only used for the mark condition.

• Fast SMA (orange) and Slow SMA (blue) — simple averages of the selected price.
• Mark — two orange dots with a fill between them, 3.5 % and 4.5 % below the price. It appears on a bar where the price is below the lower Bollinger band and %B is below Level.

$$\%B = \frac{P - (SMA_L - k\sigma_L)}{2k\sigma_L} \times 100, \qquad \text{mark: } P < SMA_L - k\sigma_L \;\text{and}\; \%B < Level$$

$P$ — the price from Price source, $L$ — BB Length, $k$ — BB Multiplier, $\sigma_L$ — the standard deviation of price over $L$ bars.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	What it does
Use custom settings	off	Turns on the lengths from the parameters below
Price source	close	Price: open, high, low, close, hl2, hlc3, ohlc4
BB Length	450	Bollinger band window, bars
BB Multiplier	1.5	Multiplier $k$
Fast SMA length	235	Fast average window, bars
Slow SMA length	345	Slow average window, bars
Level	−25	%B threshold for the mark

While Use custom settings is off, the lengths are not taken from the parameters but derived from minutes: 450, 235 and 345 minutes are divided by the chart timeframe in minutes. On a 5-minute chart that is 90, 47 and 69 bars. BB Multiplier and Level always apply. On daily and higher timeframes, turn on Use custom settings and set the lengths yourself.

Day high & low

In the list: [SFT] Day high & low · on the chart: [SF] Day high & low · where: over the candles

Two white step lines — Day high and Day low: the highest and lowest price over the last 24 hours.

$$DayHigh = \max_{N}(High), \qquad DayLow = \min_{N}(Low), \qquad N = \frac{1440}{\text{timeframe in minutes}}$$

• The window is rolling: 24 hours back from the current bar, not a calendar day from midnight.
• On daily and higher timeframes the lines match the high and low of the bar itself.

No parameters.

Volume Price Trend

In the list: [SFM] Volume Price Trend · on the chart: [SF] VPT · where: over the candles

A line above the highs or below the lows of the candles, plus background highlighting. Green means the accumulated volume flow is above its average, red means below. The distance of the line from the candle shows by how much.

1. Bar volume with the sign of the candle body:

$$sv_t = \frac{(Close_t - Open_t) \cdot Volume_t}{High_t - Low_t}$$

2. The cumulative sum $v_t = sv_t + \sum_{i \le t} sv_i$ and its average $\overline{v}_t = SMA_S(v)$.

3. The deviation from the average on the scale of the candle range:

$$shadow_t = \frac{v_t - \overline{v}_t}{\sigma_W(v - \overline{v})} \cdot \sigma_W(High - Low)$$

4. The line: $High_t + shadow_t$ when $shadow_t > 0$, otherwise $Low_t + shadow_t$.

$S$ — Smooth length, $W$ — Window length, $\sigma_W$ — the standard deviation over $W$ bars.

Parameter	Default	What it does
Window length	100	Standard deviation window $W$, bars
Smooth length	100	Average window $S$, bars

Take profit and stop loss

In the list: [SFT] Take profit and stop loss · on the chart: [SF] SL & TP · where: over the candles

Two bands around the price: red — the stop-loss range, green — the take-profit range. The edges of the bands are a percentage of each bar's close. The indicator knows neither the entry price nor ATR: the bands move with the price.

For a long:

$$SL = Close \cdot (1 - s\%) \ldots Close \cdot (1 - e\%), \qquad TP = Close \cdot (1 + s\%) \ldots Close \cdot (1 + e\%)$$

For a short the signs flip: the stop is above the price, the take below.

Parameter	Default	What it does
Side	Long	Long or Short
Stop-Loss range start	3	Near edge of the stop, % of price
Stop-Loss range end	5	Far edge of the stop, %
Take-Profit range start	6	Near edge of the take, %
Take-Profit range end	9	Far edge of the take, %

Percentages are whole numbers. A stop distance based on the liquidation model comes from Liquidation Map.

Trading sessions highlighter

In the list: [SFM] Trading sessions highlighter · on the chart: [SF] Sessions · where: chart background

Highlights the background of bars that opened inside a trading session. There are four sessions, each with its own color. Times are in UTC, like all instruments on the platform, with no daylight saving shift.

Session	Default name	Hours, UTC	Color
Session A	Tokyo	00:00–09:00	red
Session B	Frankfurt	07:00–15:00	orange
Session C	London	08:00–16:00	green
Session D	New York	13:00–21:00	blue

Each session has one row in the settings: name, hours and color. The name is only a label for you; it is not shown on the chart. A bar is highlighted if its open time falls within the session hours, including the end minute.

• A session across midnight (for example, 22:00–06:00) cannot be set — it will not be highlighted. Split it into two.
• On daily and higher timeframes all bars open at 00:00, so the highlighting makes no sense there.
