// ============================================================================
// TSI Advanced [WavesUnchained]
// Version: 1.3.2
// Author: WavesUnchained
// Build: 2026-10-02 00:00:00
// ============================================================================
// True Strength Index with trend context, stall/absorption, conviction markers,
// and directional long/short coloring on a zero-centered momentum core.
//
// Features:
// ✓ Manual TSI core on percent scale with pluggable signal smoothing
// ✓ Zero-centered panel with configurable TSI stretch zones
// ✓ Stall/absorption context: marks crosses contradicted by flat price as weak
// ✓ Trend context line (slow TSI): support the fast line rests on
// ✓ Trend↔TSI divergence wedge: fast and trend move opposite
// ✓ Long/Short coloring for trend context, histogram, and divergence wedge
// ✓ Sentiment Bar — live ±100 stretch-zone extremity score + mini bar
// ✓ Signal Quality — optional 0-100 conviction score per Bull/Bear cross
// ✓ Gradient line color, shadow fills, and alerts
//

Overview
TSI Advanced [WavesUnchained] evaluates price momentum using double-smoothed price changes, offering multiple signal line smoothing algorithms such as EMA, SuperSmoother, and JMA approximation. The script detects stall and price absorption conditions where momentum shifts without corresponding price movement, alongside a slower trend context line and divergence wedges. Main settings control double-smoothing lengths, signal smoothing types, overbought and oversold levels, and visual components like histograms and zero-cross markers.
The inputs you can change from the gear icon on the chart. Defaults are the author's.
