RT Signals & Overlays
Feb 7, 2026
The RT Signals & Overlays indicator provides an all-in-one technical analysis toolkit designed to generate trend-following confirmation signals, contrarian reversal alerts, and dynamic visual overlays.
Usage
The indicator can be used to identify trend direction and potential reversal points through various visual components:
- Confirmation Signals: These are trend-following signals (labeled "B" for Buy and "S" for Sell) that appear when price crosses the Smart Trail. A "+" sign indicates a "Strong" signal based on ADX values.
- Contrarian Signals: Represented by circles, these signals highlight potential overextended conditions when price hits the Reversal Zones while the RSI is in overbought or oversold territory.
- Smart Trail: A dynamic trailing stop-loss and trend identifier that changes color based on the current market direction (Bullish/Bearish).
- Reversal Zones: Volatility-based bands that act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
- Trend Filter: When enabled, the indicator filters out signals that occur during low-volatility or weak trend environments using the Average Directional Index (ADX).
Details
The script combines several classic technical analysis concepts into a unified interface:
- Trend Logic: Utilizes a Supertrend-based calculation for the "Smart Trail" to define the primary market bias.
- Volatility: Uses Standard Deviation bands to create "Reversal Zones," helping traders visualize price extremes.
- Momentum & Strength: Integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for contrarian logic and the Average Directional Index (ADX) to determine trend strength.
- Dashboard: A real-time table summarizes the current trend state and market strength for quick reference.

FAQ
How do I use the RT Signals & Overlays for entries?
You can use the Confirmation Signals ("B"/"S") for trend-following entries and the Contrarian Signals (circles) to identify potential exhaustion points or scalp opportunities at Reversal Zones.
What does the "+" sign next to a signal mean?
The "+" sign indicates a "Strong" signal, which occurs when the ADX (Average Directional Index) is above 25, suggesting a high-momentum trend is present.
