Acceptance Failure Path Map [AGPro Series]Acceptance Failure Path Map
🧠 Core Idea
Did price truly accept beyond a market boundary, or did that acceptance fail and create a new reaction path?
📌 Overview / What it does
Acceptance Failure Path Map is a market-structure visualization tool designed to study acceptance, failed acceptance, reclaim attempts, and continuation behavior around a defined reference range.
The script maps an acceptance band, detects whether price holds above or below that band, and highlights when accepted price fails back through the boundary. It produces compact labels, a centered path zone, right-side state tags, and an AG Pro panel that summarizes the current acceptance context.
It does not predict price direction, automate decisions, or claim that any acceptance event must continue. Its purpose is to make acceptance quality easier to read.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built for traders who want to understand whether a move is being accepted by the market or rejected after a temporary push beyond structure.
Many breakout tools mark only the breakout event. This script focuses on what happens after the breakout: acceptance, failure, reclaim pressure, and continuation risk.
The design supports a patient, context-first workflow where the trader reads the path of price around a boundary instead of reacting to a single candle.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most tools focus on breakout signals, support and resistance touches, or simple range breaks.
This script does NOT treat every break as meaningful acceptance.
Instead, it builds a path map around acceptance quality, failure timing, reclaim behavior, and current risk state. The result is a cleaner view of whether price is holding acceptance or losing it.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script builds a reference range from recent market structure and applies an ATR-based buffer to reduce noise.
2. Reference Mapping
It defines upper and lower acceptance boundaries and tracks whether price closes beyond them for the required number of bars.
3. Reaction Evaluation
After acceptance appears, the script monitors whether price fails back through the boundary, attempts reclaim, or holds continuation.
4. Visual Output
The chart displays an acceptance path zone, event labels, right-side state tags, and a panel summarizing the current condition.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones show the current acceptance path area around the active boundary.
Labels highlight acceptance above, acceptance below, acceptance failure, reclaim tests, and held acceptance.
Colors separate bullish acceptance, bearish acceptance, neutral failure risk, and reclaim context.
The panel shows the current path state, acceptance side, failure risk, path quality, reference range, active boundary, and next context.
🚦 Signals & States
• ACCEPT ABOVE → Price has accepted above the reference boundary.
• ACCEPT BELOW → Price has accepted below the reference boundary.
• ACCEPT FAIL → Accepted price failed back through the boundary within the failure window.
• RECLAIM TEST → Price is testing reclaim after a failed acceptance event.
• ACCEPT HELD → Acceptance remained valid after the failure window.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when the script detects acceptance above, acceptance below, acceptance failure, or reclaim testing.
These alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions, entry signals, or guaranteed outcomes.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The context becomes stronger when acceptance quality, distance from the reference range, participation, and follow-through direction align.
If acceptance appears without follow-through or quickly returns through the boundary, the failure context becomes more important.
📊 When to Use
• After range breaks
• Around support and resistance transitions
• During breakout retests
• When price is attempting to hold above or below a major boundary
• When evaluating whether market structure is accepted or rejected
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Extremely illiquid markets
• Very noisy low-timeframe candles
• News-driven spikes with unstable spreads
• Markets with no meaningful reference range
• Situations where a single indicator is being used without broader context
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Reference Range Length → controls how much structure is used to build the acceptance boundary.
• Acceptance Bars → controls how many closes are required before acceptance is recognized.
• Failure Window → controls how quickly accepted price must fail back through the boundary.
• Boundary Buffer ATR → adjusts the buffer around the reference range.
• Label and Panel Font Size → adjust chart readability.
• Visible Band Bars and Band Projection Bars → control how the acceptance zone appears on the chart.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is designed for a premium, clean chart view.
The panel provides the current summary. The acceptance zone carries the main story. Labels are compact and spaced to avoid hiding candles.
The visual hierarchy is intentionally simple: zone first, current state second, event labels third.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the AG Pro panel to identify the current path state.
2. Check whether price is above, below, or inside the acceptance path zone.
3. Review recent labels to understand whether acceptance held, failed, or reclaimed.
4. Compare the current failure risk and path quality with broader market context.
5. Use alerts only as attention markers for further review.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Acceptance is stronger when price remains outside the boundary with follow-through.
Acceptance failure is more meaningful when price quickly returns through the boundary after appearing accepted.
Reclaim tests should be interpreted as context changes, not automatic reversal signals.
Held acceptance suggests the market is continuing to respect the accepted side, but it still requires confirmation from broader structure.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an automated trading system.
It does not provide guaranteed buy or sell signals.
It does not replace risk management, market context, or independent analysis.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Acceptance behavior can look different across timeframes.
High volatility can create temporary false readings.
Low-liquidity markets may produce unstable boundary behavior.
The script is rule-based and depends on the selected settings, symbol behavior, and chart timeframe.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Acceptance and failure are closely related to market structure, liquidity reaction, and participant commitment.
When price breaks a boundary but cannot hold it, the failed side may become the more important context.
When price accepts and holds, the market may be showing stronger directional commitment.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price accepts above a range and holds beyond the failure window, the chart may show an ACCEPT HELD context.
When price accepts above a boundary but quickly closes back below it, the script may mark ACCEPT FAIL.
When price returns back toward a failed boundary, the script may show a RECLAIM TEST state.
🧱 System Philosophy
AGPro Series tools are built to visualize market context without turning analysis into prediction.
The goal is to make structure, risk, and reaction quality easier to observe in real time.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can guarantee market direction, timing, or outcome.
This tool provides structured visual context only.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and position sizing.
This script does not provide financial advice or guaranteed trading results.
📚 Educational Note
Use this script as a learning and analysis tool for studying acceptance, failed acceptance, reclaim pressure, and continuation behavior around market boundaries.

VWAP Control Shift Map [AGPro Series]VWAP Control Shift Map
🧠 Core Idea
Has VWAP control shifted from mean reversion to directional acceptance?
📌 Overview / What it does
VWAP Control Shift Map is a VWAP control and acceptance visualization tool built to identify when price is balanced around value, accepted above control, accepted below control, or rejected back into the VWAP band.
The script builds a rolling volume-weighted control line, maps a VWAP control band, labels acceptance and rejection events, and summarizes the current VWAP state in a compact AG Pro panel.
This script does not predict future price direction, automate trades, or provide guaranteed buy/sell signals. It is a structured decision-support map for VWAP control, acceptance quality, mean-reversion risk, and shift context.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
VWAP is one of the most watched value references across intraday and swing trading contexts.
The problem is that price can cross VWAP many times without meaningful control transfer. This script was built to separate casual VWAP interaction from stronger acceptance, rejection, and reversion behavior.
The design philosophy is to make VWAP context visually readable: where control sits, which side is accepted, whether reversion risk is rising, and whether the shift has quality.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most VWAP tools plot a line, add bands, and leave interpretation entirely to the user.
This script does NOT simply mark every VWAP touch as important and does NOT treat every cross as a trend signal.
Instead, it frames VWAP as a control zone: acceptance above, acceptance below, rejection back into value, and mean-reversion risk are all organized into one visual map.
⚙️ Methodology
1. VWAP Control Detection
The script calculates a rolling volume-weighted control line using price and volume over the selected control window.
2. Control Band Mapping
It builds a volatility-adjusted band around VWAP to represent the current value-control area.
3. Acceptance Evaluation
Consecutive closes outside the band are used to identify directional acceptance.
4. Rejection Evaluation
If price returns into the band after a shift, the script marks VWAP rejection behavior.
5. Visual Output
The chart displays the VWAP control line, bordered control zone, centered band label, event labels, right-side state tags, and AG Pro panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
The VWAP control line represents the rolling volume-weighted value reference.
The control band represents the active VWAP acceptance area.
Labels mark acceptance, rejection, and mean-reversion events.
Right-side tags show the current control state and shift quality.
The panel summarizes VWAP control, acceptance state, control side, reversion risk, shift quality, control band, and next context.
🚦 Signals & States
• VWAP BALANCE → price has not established a clear accepted side
• ACCEPT ABOVE → price has accepted above the VWAP control band
• ACCEPT BELOW → price has accepted below the VWAP control band
• VWAP REJECTION → a control shift returned back into the band
• REVERSION RISK → price is back inside the band after a directional control state
🔔 Alerts Logic
VWAP Control Shift Up alert triggers when price accepts above the VWAP control band.
VWAP Control Shift Down alert triggers when price accepts below the VWAP control band.
VWAP Rejection alert triggers when price returns back into the band after a control shift.
Alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The context becomes stronger when acceptance direction, VWAP slope, distance from VWAP, and candle body pressure align.
The context becomes weaker when price quickly returns into the control band after an attempted shift.
📊 When to Use
• VWAP-based intraday analysis
• Swing charts where volume-weighted value remains relevant
• Mean-reversion versus directional acceptance decisions
• Markets with liquid volume and clean price structure
• Trend continuation or failed acceptance review
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very illiquid symbols
• Markets with unreliable volume
• Extremely noisy low-timeframe charts
• News shock environments where VWAP control changes abruptly
• Any context where a single indicator is being used without broader structure
🎛️ Key Inputs
• VWAP Control Length → controls the rolling volume-weighted control window
• Band Volatility Length → controls how the band width is calculated
• Control Band Multiplier → adjusts VWAP control band width
• Acceptance Bars → defines how many closes are needed for acceptance
• Rejection Window → controls failed-shift timing
• Visual settings → control the panel, zone, labels, font sizes, and projection
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is designed for clean, premium chart reading.
The VWAP band uses visible four-edge zone boundaries so the control area remains clear in both editor and published TradingView views.
The panel uses the AG Pro merged blue header standard and keeps the current context readable without covering the main chart.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel state.
2. Check whether price is inside, above, or below the VWAP control band.
3. Review acceptance or rejection labels.
4. Compare shift quality with reversion risk.
5. Use broader market structure before making any decision.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
VWAP control is not a prediction.
Acceptance shows where price has spent enough time outside the control band to suggest directional control.
Rejection shows that the attempted control shift returned back toward value.
Mean-reversion risk increases when price moves back into the VWAP control area after directional acceptance.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an auto-trading system.
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not replace risk management or independent analysis.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
VWAP behavior can vary by timeframe, market session, liquidity, and volume quality.
Rolling VWAP control may differ from exchange-session VWAP or anchored VWAP tools.
Extreme volatility can temporarily reduce the usefulness of control-band interpretation.
Outputs should always be interpreted within broader market context.
🧠 Market Context Notes
VWAP often works as a value reference, but value can shift when acceptance becomes persistent.
A clean control shift is stronger when price accepts outside the band while VWAP slope supports the move.
A weak shift often returns back into the band and becomes a rejection or mean-reversion context.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price accepts above the VWAP control band with strong shift quality, the chart may be showing directional control above value.
When price accepts below the band and VWAP turns down, the control context may favor downside acceptance.
When price quickly returns into the band after acceptance, VWAP rejection risk becomes more important.
🧱 System Philosophy
AGPro Series tools are built to convert complex market behavior into visual decision maps.
The goal is not certainty. The goal is structured context, cleaner interpretation, and better chart discipline.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can know the future.
No signal is certain.
No visual state should be treated as a guaranteed outcome.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Markets can move unexpectedly.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and trade execution.
This script does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
This tool is intended for educational and analytical use. It can help traders study VWAP control, acceptance shifts, rejection behavior, and mean-reversion risk.
Indicator
Supply Demand Flip Planner [AGPro Series]Supply Demand Flip Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Has an old supply or demand zone changed role and started acting as the opposite side of the market?
📌 Overview / What it does
Supply Demand Flip Planner is a role-change price action tool designed to identify when a prior supply zone turns into demand, or when a prior demand zone turns into supply.
The script detects pivot-based supply and demand zones, monitors breaks through those zones, maps the active flip zone, evaluates retest acceptance, and displays a structured 0-100 score. It also shows invalidation shelves, target rails, centered zone text, labels, and a compact AG Pro dashboard.
It does not predict future price movement, automate trades, or provide guaranteed buy/sell signals. It is a visual decision-support framework for reading supply-demand flip behavior.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built for traders who watch support/resistance role reversal but want a cleaner way to separate meaningful flips from ordinary breaks.
Many zones break and never matter again. Some zones break, retest, and start acting as the opposite side of the market. This planner focuses on that role-change moment.
The design supports a structured workflow: map supply and demand, wait for break, monitor retest, evaluate acceptance, then track invalidation.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most supply and demand tools draw zones and leave interpretation fully manual.
This script does NOT simply flood the chart with historical zones.
Instead, it focuses on the active role-change zone, measures retest quality, scores acceptance, and presents the result through a clear READY / MONITOR / WAIT / INVALIDATED framework.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script detects pivot-based supply and demand zones using configurable left/right pivot confirmation.
2. Reference Mapping
It maps source supply and demand shelves, then converts a broken zone into an active flip zone.
3. Reaction Evaluation
When price retests the flip zone, the script evaluates break strength, retest depth, wick response, body quality, source-zone quality, freshness, and relative volume.
4. Visual Output
The active flip zone is shown with centered text, invalidation shelf, target rails, right-side tags, labels, and an AG Pro panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Supply zones represent pivot-based resistance shelves.
Demand zones represent pivot-based support shelves.
Demand Flip means old supply has been broken and is being evaluated as new demand.
Supply Flip means old demand has been broken and is being evaluated as new supply.
READY FLIP labels mark retests that pass the selected acceptance score.
Invalidation shelf marks where the flip context weakens or fails.
The AG Pro panel summarizes Flip State, Acceptance, Retest, Failure Risk, and Action.
🚦 Signals & States
• DEMAND → pivot-based demand zone mapped.
• SUPPLY → pivot-based supply zone mapped.
• DEMAND FLIP → old supply was broken and is being watched as new demand.
• SUPPLY FLIP → old demand was broken and is being watched as new supply.
• FLIP RETEST → price is interacting with the active flip zone.
• READY FLIP → retest acceptance reached the required score threshold.
• INVALIDATED → the active flip lost its invalidation edge.
• READY → qualified flip acceptance is active.
• MONITOR → the flip zone is active or retesting.
• WAIT → no qualified flip acceptance is active.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Demand Flip Locked triggers when price breaks above a prior supply zone.
Supply Flip Locked triggers when price breaks below a prior demand zone.
Demand Flip Acceptance Ready triggers when a bullish flip retest reaches the score threshold.
Supply Flip Acceptance Ready triggers when a bearish flip retest reaches the score threshold.
Supply Demand Flip Retest triggers when price interacts with the active flip zone.
Supply Demand Flip Invalidated triggers when the flip loses its invalidation shelf.
Alerts are attention markers, not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest flip contexts appear when break strength, retest depth, wick response, close quality, source-zone quality, freshness, and relative volume align.
When a broken zone is retested cleanly and accepted from the opposite side, the score improves and the panel shifts toward a stronger action state.
📊 When to Use
• Support/resistance role reversal
• Breakout retests
• Trend continuation after zone breaks
• Failed range boundaries that become new reaction zones
• Markets with clear swing structure
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Extremely noisy markets with weak pivot structure
• Very low liquidity symbols
• Markets with large spread or unreliable candles
• News spikes where zones break and fail too quickly
• Timeframes where pivot zones are too dense or too sparse
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Pivot Left / Right Bars → control how strict the source zone detection is.
• Zone Depth ATR → controls the thickness of supply and demand shelves.
• Break Buffer ATR → requires price to break beyond the source zone by a volatility-adjusted amount.
• Retest Window Bars → controls how long the flip remains relevant.
• Acceptance Buffer ATR → defines how much confirmation is required after retest.
• Invalidation Buffer ATR → controls the failure shelf beyond the flip zone.
• Minimum Ready Score → sets how strict READY labels should be.
• Visual Settings → control zones, labels, centered zone text, target rails, and right-side tags.
• Panel Settings → control panel visibility, location, theme, and font size.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is designed to make role-change structure readable without overwhelming the chart.
The active flip zone uses centered text so the purpose of the zone is immediately visible. Source zones are subtle, while READY labels and target rails stand out only when a valid acceptance context appears.
The panel gives a quick summary of the current flip state and risk context.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Identify the latest supply and demand zones.
2. Wait for a zone to break and become a flip candidate.
3. Watch for retest interaction inside the flip zone.
4. Check the READY FLIP label and acceptance score.
5. Compare price with invalidation shelf and target rails.
6. Confirm broader trend, volatility, and liquidity before making decisions.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A high acceptance score means the role-change reaction is cleaner according to the script's rules.
A pending retest means price has returned to the zone but has not yet shown enough acceptance.
A failed flip means price lost the invalidation edge and the role-change context should be treated as weakened.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an automated trading system.
It does not guarantee entries, exits, profits, or outcomes.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Pivot-based zones are confirmed after the selected right-side bars, so source zones appear after confirmation.
Different timeframes can create very different supply and demand structures.
High volatility can cause quick break-and-fail behavior around zones.
No rule-based script can fully account for news, liquidity shocks, or sudden market structure changes.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Supply-demand flips are a form of role reversal.
Old resistance can become new support after acceptance. Old support can become new resistance after acceptance.
The script is strongest when used with broader market structure, trend context, liquidity, and volatility analysis.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price breaks above a supply zone, returns to the zone, and holds above it with clean reaction quality, the script may mark a Demand Flip acceptance.
When price breaks below a demand zone, retests it from below, and rejects cleanly, the script may mark a Supply Flip acceptance.
🧱 System Philosophy
Supply Demand Flip Planner follows the AG Pro Series approach: transform a common market concept into a structured decision map with context, score, risk reference, and clean visuals.
The goal is not to replace judgment. The goal is to make role-change analysis easier to read.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can provide certainty.
No signal should be treated as guaranteed.
Outputs should always be interpreted with independent analysis and responsible risk control.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Market conditions can change quickly.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and trade execution.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
This script is designed to help traders study how supply zones, demand zones, breakout retests, and role-change acceptance behave across different market conditions.
Indicator
Session Reclaim Planner [AGPro Series]Session Reclaim Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Did price reclaim a key session high or low with enough acceptance to create a valid planning context?
📌 Overview / What it does
Session Reclaim Planner is an intraday decision-support tool built around session high and session low reclaim behavior. It builds a configurable reference session, maps the session high/low rails, then monitors whether price temporarily loses one of those rails and reclaims it with measurable acceptance.
The script produces a 0-100 Reclaim Score, session level rails, a reclaim pocket, a risk edge, a target corridor, event labels, alerts, and a compact AG Pro planning panel. It is designed to help traders organize session reclaim context instead of reacting to every touch of a session level.
It does not predict price direction, automate trades, or mark every session high/low as important. The script focuses on a specific sequence: session rail built -> rail temporarily lost -> rail reclaimed by close -> acceptance quality reviewed.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built to fill the gap between simple session level markers and broad session reaction tools.
Many session indicators show highs, lows, opens, boxes, or kill zones. Those references can be useful, but they often leave the trader with the harder question: did the level actually get reclaimed with enough structure to matter?
Session Reclaim Planner supports a planning-first mindset. It asks whether the setup is valid, how strong it is, where the risk edge sits, where the target corridor is, and what the next action state should be.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most session tools focus on time windows, session opens, or static high/low levels.
This script does NOT clone Session Reaction Map, Kill Zone Session Engine, Session VWAP Reaction Engine, Session Range Expansion Planner, Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim, or a generic support/resistance map.
Instead, it focuses only on session rail reclaim behavior after a completed reference session. The reclaim must come from a clear rail loss and a close back through the level, then the script evaluates acceptance, participation, room, and risk structure.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script builds a configurable session range and stores the session high and low as active reclaim rails.
2. Reference Mapping
The high and low rails are projected forward. The user can evaluate both rails or focus only on the high or low.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The planner waits for a temporary rail loss, then checks whether price closes back through the rail with enough reclaim distance.
4. Visual Output
Accepted events create a reclaim pocket, risk edge, target corridor, chart labels, panel state, and alert conditions.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = the reclaim pocket and target corridor.
Labels = rail loss, reclaim watch, plan review, failed reclaim, and target review events.
Colors = bullish low reclaim uses AGPro teal, bearish high reclaim uses AGPro pink, neutral review states use gold, and target context uses indigo.
Panel = current session level, Reclaim Score, acceptance status, risk edge, and action state.
🚦 Signals & States
• Reclaim Watch → price has temporarily lost a selected session rail and the planner is waiting for a reclaim close.
• Acceptance Watch → a reclaim close exists, but the plan still needs enough quality or acceptance.
• Plan Review → score and acceptance are strong enough to review risk and target context.
• Risk Edge Test → price is testing the active risk boundary.
• Failed Reclaim → price closes through the risk edge and the reclaim plan is no longer valid.
• Target Review → price reaches the target corridor and the reaction should be reviewed.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Bullish Session Reclaim triggers when the session low is lost, reclaimed, and the score reaches the alert threshold.
Bearish Session Reclaim triggers when the session high is lost, reclaimed, and the score reaches the alert threshold.
Plan Review triggers when the active reclaim reaches the required score and acceptance conditions.
Failed Reclaim triggers when price closes through the active risk edge.
Target Review triggers when price reaches the active target corridor.
Alerts are attention markers, not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The score combines multiple conditions:
• Reclaim close strength
• Acceptance closes
• Volume support
• Risk-to-target room
• Session range fit
When those elements align, the reclaim context becomes stronger. When one or more elements are weak, the panel keeps the user in watch or no-review states.
📊 When to Use
• 1H publication charts and lower intraday execution-review charts
• Intraday markets with clear session behavior
• Session high/low reclaim workflows
• London or New York continuation/reversal review
• Markets where traders actively monitor session rails
• Clean reclaim sequences after temporary level loss
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low liquidity markets
• Extremely noisy micro timeframes
• Symbols where session windows are not meaningful
• Conditions with erratic gaps or unreliable volume
• Markets where the reference session is not relevant to your workflow
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Visual Timeframe Preset → default chart objects are optimized for 1H and lower publication charts, while 4H or all intraday visuals can be enabled manually.
• Session Timezone → defines how session windows are interpreted.
• Level Build Session → builds the reference high and low rails.
• Monitor Session → defines when reclaim behavior is evaluated.
• Reclaim Rail Mode → selects high, low, or both rails.
• Minimum Rail Loss ATR → controls how much level loss is required before a reclaim watch starts.
• Acceptance Closes → controls how many closes must hold the reclaimed side.
• Target Corridor Model → selects rail-based, R-based, or hybrid target logic.
• Panel and Label Settings → control readability, location, theme, and font sizes.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is built around a clean AG Pro planning panel and chart-first visual structure.
The session rails define the level context. The reclaim pocket defines the recovered area. The risk edge shows where the active plan weakens. The target corridor frames the next review area.
Labels are intentionally compact and offset away from candles so the chart remains readable without looking empty.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the AG Pro panel.
2. Check whether the session rails are built.
3. Wait for a rail loss and reclaim close.
4. Review the Reclaim Score and acceptance count.
5. Compare the risk edge and target corridor with broader market context.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Treat the script as a structured session reclaim map.
A higher score means the reclaim has cleaner acceptance, better participation, and better room relative to risk. A lower score means the reclaim may still exist, but the plan quality is weaker or incomplete.
The target corridor is a review area, not a guaranteed objective.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine
• Not financial advice
• Not auto trading
• Not guaranteed signals
• Not a generic support/resistance map
• Not a session open reaction scanner
• Not a VWAP reclaim tool
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Session behavior depends heavily on symbol, liquidity, timezone, and timeframe.
A reclaim that looks clean on one timeframe may look incomplete or noisy on another.
Volume support can be less reliable on markets where reported volume is limited or synthetic.
No rule-based script can account for every news event, spread condition, execution constraint, or market regime shift.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Session reclaim behavior often matters because traders watch session highs and lows as liquidity and structure references.
The key distinction is not the level itself. The key distinction is whether price lost the level, reclaimed it, and then held acceptance strongly enough to deserve review.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price sweeps below the built session low, closes back above it, holds acceptance, and has room toward the opposite rail, the panel may move into Plan Review.
When price reclaims a rail but immediately closes through the risk edge, the state shifts to Failed Reclaim.
When price reaches the target corridor, the script marks Target Review so the user can evaluate the reaction instead of assuming continuation.
🧱 System Philosophy
Session Reclaim Planner follows the AGPro decision-engine model:
Validate the setup.
Score the quality.
Map the risk.
Frame the target.
Show the next action state.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
The script does not provide certainty.
It organizes session reclaim context with rule-based logic and visual planning references.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and execution.
This script is for educational and analytical use only and does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Use the tool to study how session high and session low reclaim behavior changes across symbols, sessions, and timeframes.
Indicator
Pullback Acceptance Planner [AGPro Series]Pullback Acceptance Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Is the current trend pullback being accepted as continuation, or rejected as failure?
📌 Overview / What it does
Pullback Acceptance Planner is a public-free TradingView planner built to evaluate one specific decision point: the moment price pulls back into a trend-support area and the trader needs to know whether the retracement is being accepted or rejected.
The script maps a live pullback acceptance pocket, accepted/rejected state labels, an invalidation risk shelf, a target-room band, and a clean AGPro decision panel. It converts pullback depth, close acceptance, trend support, volume behavior, invalidation distance, and target room into a 0-100 Acceptance Score.
It does not predict price direction, automate entries, or label every small retracement. Its purpose is to make the pullback review process cleaner, more visual, and more decision-focused.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built because many pullback tools stop at showing where price touched a moving average, trend line, or generic zone. That is not enough for a trader who needs to decide whether the pullback is still constructive.
Pullback Acceptance Planner fills that gap by focusing on acceptance behavior after the pullback reaches the planning pocket. It helps traders review trend-side support, close quality, participation, risk distance, and remaining room in one structured view.
The mindset is practical: do not chase every pullback, and do not treat every retracement as a signal. Wait for the pullback to show whether it is being accepted or rejected.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most pullback tools focus on moving-average touches, simple continuation markers, or generic trend-risk labels.
This script does NOT clone Low Volume Pullback Zones, Trend Pullback Risk Planner, Opening Drive Quality, SuperTrend pullback tools, or broad continuation dashboards.
Instead, it answers a narrower question: after price enters a general trend pullback pocket, is the close behavior strong enough to call the pullback accepted, or is the invalidation shelf being lost?
That acceptance-first framing is the core identity of the script.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The engine reads EMA stack alignment, base EMA slope, ATR structure, and the selected planning side to determine whether a bullish or bearish pullback context is active.
2. Reference Mapping
The script builds a pullback acceptance pocket around the base EMA, then maps an invalidation risk shelf behind the pocket and a target-room band toward the nearest prior obstruction.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The 0-100 Acceptance Score evaluates pullback depth, close acceptance beyond the pocket edge, trend support, volume behavior, invalidation distance, and target room.
4. Visual Output
The chart displays the acceptance pocket, risk shelf, target-room band, compact state labels, alerts, and a five-row AGPro planner panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = the pullback acceptance pocket, invalidation risk shelf, and target-room band.
Labels = current state changes such as PB ACCEPTED, PB REJECTED, ACCEPT WATCH, ROOM REVIEW, or PB FORMING.
Colors = bullish acceptance uses teal, bearish acceptance uses pink, watch/room review uses yellow or indigo, and rejection uses red.
Panel = the decision summary: Pullback State, Acceptance Score, Risk Edge, Room, and Action.
🚦 Signals & States
• PB ACCEPTED → price closed beyond the active pullback pocket with enough score quality.
• ACCEPT WATCH → pullback context is improving but still needs cleaner confirmation.
• ROOM REVIEW → acceptance quality exists, but nearby obstruction leaves limited target room.
• PB FORMING → price is inside or near the pocket and the planner is still building context.
• PB REJECTED → price crossed the invalidation shelf and the active pullback context failed.
• TREND WAIT / NO PULLBACK → there is no active pullback acceptance context to review.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when a bullish or bearish pullback reaches accepted state, when acceptance watch appears, when target room needs review, when the pullback is rejected, or when a major follow-through event appears after acceptance.
Alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The context becomes stronger when trend side, clean pullback depth, constructive close acceptance, controlled or recovering volume, reasonable invalidation distance, and sufficient target room align at the same time.
The score is intentionally multi-factor so a single moving-average touch cannot create a high-quality state by itself.
📊 When to Use
• Trending markets with clean retracements
• Swing or intraday continuation review
• Markets where pullback behavior matters more than raw trend direction
• Crypto, forex, stocks, indices, and commodities with enough liquidity
• Situations where a trader wants an invalidation reference and target-room read before acting
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low-liquidity symbols
• Extremely noisy sideways chop
• News-driven spikes where ATR and trend structure distort quickly
• Ultra-low timeframes with unstable spread or poor execution quality
• Markets where price repeatedly crosses the base EMA without directional structure
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Planning Side → chooses Auto, Bullish Pullback, or Bearish Pullback.
• Sensitivity → changes trend strictness and scoring behavior.
• EMA Lengths → define the trend stack and acceptance pocket anchor.
• ATR Length → normalizes pocket width, labels, risk shelf, and target room.
• Pullback Review Window → controls how long a pocket touch remains active.
• ACCEPTED Threshold → sets the minimum score for accepted-state labels.
• Label / Panel Settings → control visibility, location, theme, font size, label size, and label density.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is chart-first. The main chart objects are the acceptance pocket, risk shelf, and target-room band, each with centered text when displayed.
The panel uses the AGPro standard: one merged blue header row containing only the script name, followed by five decision rows. The layout is intentionally compact so the chart stays premium, readable, and useful on first glance.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel to identify Pullback State and Acceptance Score.
2. Check whether price is inside, above, or below the acceptance pocket.
3. Review the invalidation risk shelf before interpreting an accepted state.
4. Check the target-room band to see whether the path is open or obstructed.
5. Treat labels and alerts as review markers, not automatic trade decisions.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A higher score means the pullback has cleaner depth, stronger close behavior, better trend support, healthier volume behavior, more reasonable invalidation distance, and better room.
An accepted label means the pullback has met the script's rule-based acceptance conditions. It does not mean price must continue.
A rejected label means the pullback context failed according to the invalidation shelf. It does not mean the market must reverse.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine
• Not financial advice
• Not auto trading
• Not guaranteed signals
• Not a generic support/resistance zone tool
• Not an order block, FVG, or broad SMC map
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
• Timeframe differences can change how clean the pocket and score appear.
• Volatility expansion can widen risk and distort close acceptance.
• Low-liquidity markets can make volume behavior less reliable.
• Strong news candles can cross both pocket and target references too quickly.
• The script uses rule-based approximations, not future knowledge.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Pullback acceptance often depends on whether price can return toward trend support without losing structure. A constructive pullback usually keeps risk contained, avoids aggressive countertrend volume, and then shows acceptance through the pocket edge.
This script turns that process into a visual planner so the user can review risk, room, and state in one place.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When a bullish trend pulls back into the acceptance pocket, the script may print ACCEPT WATCH first. If price later closes above the pocket edge with enough score quality, the state can shift to PB ACCEPTED.
When a bearish trend rallies into the pocket but then closes back below the acceptance edge, the script can mark bearish acceptance. If price crosses the invalidation shelf instead, the state shifts toward rejection.
🧱 System Philosophy
Pullback Acceptance Planner follows the AGPro planner-style direction: the chart should not only show another signal. It should help the trader evaluate setup validity, strength, risk, target room, and next action.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can provide certainty.
No score can guarantee outcome.
This tool is designed for structured review and educational analysis.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk. Market conditions can change quickly, and historical or rule-based signals do not guarantee future results.
Users are responsible for their own analysis, risk management, and decisions.
This script does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Use the script to study how pullbacks behave around trend support, invalidation shelves, and target-room constraints. The best value comes from comparing the planner state with broader market context.

Price Acceptance Reversal Planner [AGPro Series]Price Acceptance Reversal Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Is price failing acceptance and starting a structured reversal context with clear risk, room, and next-action guidance?
📌 Overview / What it does
Price Acceptance Reversal Planner is a chart-first reversal planning tool built around price acceptance failure.
The script studies whether price has spent enough time accepting above or below a dynamic fair-value band. When that acceptance starts to fail, it evaluates close-back behavior, reversal candle quality, volume response, invalidation distance, and target room, then converts the context into a 0-100 reversal readiness score.
It produces acceptance bands, failed-acceptance zones, reversal trigger rails, invalidation shelves, target-room guides, labels, alerts, and a clean AGPro planning panel. Optional shelf and room boxes are available for users who want a heavier map, while the default public view stays lighter. It does not predict price direction, automate trading, or claim that every acceptance failure must reverse.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built for traders who want a structured way to evaluate when accepted price behavior is starting to break down.
Many charts show price spending time above or below a perceived fair-value area before suddenly rotating back through that area. The useful question is not only where price traded, but whether that accepted behavior is now failing with enough quality to deserve review.
The design supports a planning mindset: identify the acceptance state, detect failure, score reversal quality, locate invalidation, review target room, and decide whether to wait, review, or stand aside.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most acceptance tools focus on volume profile, value area, POC, or static market-profile references.
This script does NOT try to become a Price Acceptance Profile clone, Acceptance Breakout Planner clone, volume profile tool, POC tracker, generic support/resistance map, or broad reversal signal generator.
Instead, it focuses on the decision layer after acceptance starts failing. The core output is not a simple buy or sell marker. The output is a structured reversal plan with score, failure risk, invalidation shelf, target-room guide, and next-action state.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script builds a dynamic price acceptance band around an adaptive fair-value anchor and tracks whether price is accepting above, below, or inside that band.
2. Reference Mapping
The failed acceptance edge becomes the reversal trigger. The recent failure extreme becomes the invalidation shelf. The opposite side of the band, or an ATR fallback, becomes the target-room guide.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The score model evaluates time in acceptance, close-back failure strength, reversal candle quality, relative volume response, target room, and risk efficiency.
4. Visual Output
Qualified events are displayed through failed-acceptance zones, trigger rails, invalidation shelves, target-room bands, compact labels, alerts, and the AGPro planning panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = compact failed-acceptance areas where price accepted above or below the band and then rotated back through the relevant edge.
Labels = acceptance watch, reversal ready, invalidation, and target-room review markers.
Colors = teal marks bullish lower-acceptance failure, pink marks bearish upper-acceptance failure, amber marks watch states, and indigo marks target-room references.
Panel = the panel summarizes Acceptance State, Reversal Score, Failure Risk, Room, and Action.
🚦 Signals & States
• Upper Acceptance Watch → price has accepted above the band long enough to watch for failure evidence.
• Lower Acceptance Watch → price has accepted below the band long enough to watch for failure evidence.
• Bear Reversal Ready → upper acceptance failed with enough reversal quality, risk structure, and room.
• Bull Reversal Ready → lower acceptance failed with enough reversal quality, risk structure, and room.
• Acceptance Reversal Invalidated → price crossed the active invalidation shelf.
• Target Room Review → price reached the active target-room guide.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when upper/lower acceptance watch states appear, when bull/bear reversal readiness is confirmed, when the active invalidation shelf is crossed, or when price reaches the target-room guide.
Alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions, entry signals, exit signals, or automated strategy commands.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest planner states appear when multiple conditions align:
Time in acceptance + close-back failure + reversal candle quality + volume response + clean invalidation distance + usable target room.
When only partial evidence appears, the script remains in watch mode or stand-aside mode.
📊 When to Use
• After price spends time accepting above or below a dynamic fair-value band
• Around failed acceptance, failed continuation, or rotation-back contexts
• During reversal review workflows where risk and room need structure
• When a trader wants a decision engine rather than another generic signal marker
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Extremely low-liquidity symbols
• Very noisy micro-timeframes
• News-driven gaps or abnormal candles
• Markets where price is violently trending and acceptance failure keeps failing
• Situations where the user expects automatic buy/sell instructions
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Acceptance Anchor Length → controls the dynamic fair-value anchor.
• Acceptance Band Width ATR → controls the band around the anchor.
• Minimum Acceptance Bars → defines how long price must accept above or below the band before failure can qualify.
• Failure Close Distance ATR → controls how cleanly price must close back through the failed edge.
• Minimum Reversal Score → sets the 0-100 threshold for READY events.
• Invalidation Shelf Buffer ATR → places the invalidation shelf beyond the failure extreme.
• Target Room ATR Fallback → builds a target-room guide when the opposite band side is too close.
• Visual settings → control zones, rails, labels, panel location, panel theme, and font sizes.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is built to stay chart-first.
The live acceptance band shows the current reference area. Compact event boxes show where acceptance failed. Trigger rails define the failed edge. Invalidation rails define where the active reversal context weakens. Target-room guides show the next review area without making a promise.
The panel keeps the decision summary compact, readable, and consistent with AGPro public-release formatting.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel to identify the current Acceptance State.
2. Check whether price is accepting above, below, or inside the band.
3. Watch for failed-acceptance labels and reversal readiness score.
4. Review the invalidation shelf and target-room guide.
5. Interpret the context with broader structure, volatility, and personal risk rules.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Acceptance watch means price has stayed outside the band long enough to deserve observation, but reversal is not confirmed.
Reversal ready means the script found stronger failure, candle, risk, and room evidence.
Invalidation means the active context weakened according to the script rules.
Target-room review means price reached a planned review area, not that price must stop or reverse there.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine
• Not financial advice
• Not an auto trading system
• Not a guaranteed signal tool
• Not a Price Acceptance Profile clone
• Not an Acceptance Breakout Planner clone
• Not a volume profile, value area, or POC tool
• Not a generic support/resistance map
• Not an order block or FVG map
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Price acceptance behavior changes across symbols, timeframes, sessions, and volatility regimes.
Some acceptance failures continue to fail again. Some reversal-ready states may invalidate quickly. Some symbols have weak volume data, which can reduce the usefulness of the volume component.
The script provides structured context, not certainty.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Acceptance failure often matters when price spends time outside a fair-value area and then rotates back through the acceptance edge.
The most useful contexts usually combine enough time in acceptance, a clean close-back failure, a strong reversal candle, usable target room, and a clear invalidation shelf.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price accepts above the band for several bars, then closes back through the upper edge with bearish pressure and enough room below, the script may classify the context as a bearish acceptance reversal plan.
When price accepts below the band for several bars, then closes back through the lower edge with bullish pressure and enough room above, the script may classify the context as a bullish acceptance reversal plan.
🧱 System Philosophy
Price Acceptance Reversal Planner follows the AGPro decision-engine approach:
Context first.
Failure evidence before reaction.
Risk before target.
Room before excitement.
Attention markers instead of promises.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can guarantee a reversal, outcome, or market reaction.
No score, state, label, alert, rail, or zone should be interpreted as certainty.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users remain responsible for their own decisions, execution, risk management, and interpretation.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Use the output as a structured review layer. The strongest readings usually come from combining the planner state with broader market structure, volatility, liquidity conditions, and personal risk rules.

Acceptance Breakout Planner [AGPro Series]Acceptance Breakout Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Did price truly accept beyond the breakout level, or did it only tag the level and fail to hold?
📌 Overview / What it does
Acceptance Breakout Planner is a chart-first breakout decision tool designed to evaluate what happens after price moves beyond a key rolling reference edge.
Instead of treating every breakout as meaningful, the script measures close persistence, time beyond the level, retest-hold behavior, range distance, candle quality, volume support, and failure shelf risk. It converts that evidence into a 0-100 Acceptance Score and a clear next-action state.
The script produces an acceptance band, a failure shelf, a target-room guide, controlled chart labels, alerts, and a clean AGPro planning panel. It does not predict price movement, automate execution, or claim that acceptance will continue.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built to fill the gap between a simple breakout marker and a full trade-management system.
Many traders can see when price crosses a level. The harder question is whether price is spending enough time beyond that level to deserve attention, or whether the break is only a low-commitment tag.
The design supports a planner mindset: observe the break, measure acceptance, watch the failure shelf, and review the next state with structure instead of reacting to a single candle.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most breakout tools focus on the moment price crosses a level.
This script does NOT function as a generic breakout signal, volume-spike detector, consolidation breakout box, Donchian channel tool, or broad break-retest scanner.
Instead, it focuses on post-break acceptance quality. The key question is not simply "did price break?" The key question is "did price remain accepted beyond the broken reference long enough to reduce tag-only risk?"
This keeps the script separate from Breakout Volume Quality, Consolidation Breakout Quality, Break-Retest Quality, Price Acceptance Profile, and reference-specific breakout tools in the AGPro catalog.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script maps rolling upper and lower reference edges from prior bars. These references are used only as breakout acceptance anchors.
2. Reference Mapping
When price closes beyond a reference edge by an ATR-adjusted buffer, the planner starts an active acceptance sequence.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The active sequence is scored through close persistence, time beyond the level, acceptance-band retests, candle quality, relative volume support, and distance from the failure shelf.
4. Visual Output
The chart shows an acceptance band, a failure shelf, a target-room guide, compact state labels, and a panel that summarizes acceptance score, time beyond, break side, failure risk, and action.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Acceptance Band = the zone around the broken level where price should hold if acceptance is developing.
Failure Shelf = the invalidation context behind the broken level. A close through this shelf means the breakout acceptance sequence needs review.
Target Room = a projected planning guide based on the prior reference range. It is not a forecast or promised target.
Labels = compact event markers such as BULL BRK, BEAR BRK, WATCH, HOLD, ACCEPT, TAG, RISK, and REJECT.
Colors = teal supports constructive acceptance, pink marks rejection or failure pressure, yellow marks caution, and indigo marks active watch states.
Panel = a compact decision view showing Acceptance Score, Time Beyond, Break Side, Failure Risk, and Action.
🚦 Signals & States
• BULL BRK → price closed beyond the upper reference and started an acceptance review.
• BEAR BRK → price closed beyond the lower reference and started an acceptance review.
• WATCH → acceptance evidence is improving but is not mature yet.
• HOLD → price revisited the acceptance band and held beyond the broken reference.
• ACCEPT → close persistence, score quality, and time beyond the level reached the accepted state.
• TAG → the sequence is active, but close persistence is still weak after the review window.
• RISK → acceptance is not mature and the failure shelf is becoming more relevant.
• REJECT → price closed through the failure shelf after the breakout sequence.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when a new acceptance break starts, when accepted state appears, when a retest hold is detected, when failure risk rises, or when price rejects through the failure shelf.
Alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions, automation commands, or certainty statements.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest acceptance context appears when several conditions align:
• price closes beyond the broken reference more than once
• the acceptance band holds during a retest
• candle structure remains directional
• failure shelf distance remains healthy
• volume support is present without being the only reason for the score
When these elements align, the Acceptance Score rises and the state becomes easier to interpret.
📊 When to Use
• Breakout review after price crosses a visible range edge
• Markets where one-bar breakout tags are common
• Trend continuation attempts that need acceptance confirmation
• Range expansion moves where the trader wants to separate holding behavior from weak level pokes
• Chart review workflows that need a clear post-break next-action state
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Extremely low-liquidity markets with unreliable candles
• Very noisy symbols where reference edges are constantly pierced
• News-driven volatility where ATR buffers may become unstable
• Situations where the user expects automatic trade entries
• Markets where volume data is missing and volume support is treated as less useful
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Break Side → controls whether the planner evaluates bullish breaks, bearish breaks, or both.
• Reference Lookback → defines the prior-bar range used to map breakout reference edges.
• Close Beyond Level ATR → controls how far beyond the level price must close before a sequence starts.
• Acceptance Band ATR → controls the retest-hold zone around the broken level.
• Failure Shelf ATR → controls the invalidation context behind the broken level.
• Minimum Beyond Closes → controls how much close persistence is required before acceptance can mature.
• ACCEPTED Threshold → sets the minimum 0-100 score for accepted state.
• Label / Panel Controls → adjust visual density, placement, theme, and font size.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is designed to stay chart-first. The acceptance band and failure shelf show the current structure, while labels mark only meaningful state changes.
The panel uses the AGPro standard: a single blue merged header row, compact rows, clear state colors, adjustable location, adjustable theme, and normal font size by default.
The visual hierarchy is intentionally restrained so the chart looks active without becoming crowded.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel to see the current Acceptance Score and action state.
2. Check whether price is holding beyond the broken reference or drifting back into the band.
3. Watch the failure shelf to understand whether the breakout is losing acceptance.
4. Review labels only as context markers, not as standalone decisions.
5. Confirm the broader market context before acting on any chart interpretation.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Think of the script as a post-break acceptance reviewer.
A higher Acceptance Score means the breakout has stronger evidence of persistence according to the script model. A lower score means the move may still be early, weak, or vulnerable to failure.
The most useful reading is the relationship between time beyond the level, retest behavior, and failure shelf distance.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine
• Not financial advice
• Not an auto-trading system
• Not guaranteed signals
• Not a generic support/resistance map
• Not a consolidation breakout box tool
• Not a pure volume breakout detector
• Not a full break-retest scanner
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Breakout acceptance is sensitive to timeframe, volatility, liquidity, and symbol behavior.
The reference edges are rolling and can change as older bars leave the lookback window.
ATR-based buffers can expand or contract during volatile market conditions.
Relative volume may be less useful on symbols with limited or inconsistent volume data.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Acceptance after a breakout is often more useful than the initial break itself.
A level tag shows that price reached a reference. Acceptance shows whether price can keep spending time beyond that reference.
This distinction is the core purpose of the planner.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price closes above a reference edge and then holds the acceptance band on a later retest, the script may shift from watch context toward stronger acceptance.
When price breaks a reference but quickly returns through the failure shelf, the script marks rejection context instead of treating the break as mature.
When price remains beyond the level but does not build enough persistence, the script can show TAG ONLY or FAILURE RISK.
🧱 System Philosophy
Acceptance Breakout Planner follows the AGPro decision-engine approach:
It does not ask users to react to a raw signal.
It organizes the chart into quality, state, risk, target-room context, and next-action review.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can remove uncertainty from markets.
No state, score, label, band, shelf, or alert guarantees future price behavior.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
This script is for educational and analytical use only.
It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, trade instructions, or guaranteed outcomes.
Users remain responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and market evaluation.
📚 Educational Note
Use the script to study the difference between a breakout tag and breakout acceptance.
The strongest value comes from comparing the planner state with broader structure, volatility, liquidity, and personal execution rules.

Initial Balance Break Planner [AGPro Series]Initial Balance Break Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Is the Initial Balance break being accepted, or is it becoming vulnerable to failure back inside the balance?
📌 Overview / What it does
Initial Balance Break Planner is an intraday session planning tool built around the first major balance of the trading session. It maps a configurable Initial Balance window, tracks the first break beyond that balance, and evaluates whether that break has enough quality to deserve structured review. The default showcase workflow is designed for intraday charts up to 60 minutes.
The script produces a locked Initial Balance box, break review labels, acceptance labels, failure-risk labels, failed-IB markers, target rails, and an invalidation reference. The panel summarizes the active state through IB State, Break Side, Acceptance Score, Failure Risk, and Action.
It does not predict future price movement, automate trades, or tell the user what to buy or sell. It is a rule-based decision-support overlay for reading Initial Balance behavior with more structure.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built to solve a common intraday problem: many traders can see that price broke the first balance, but they still need a cleaner way to judge whether that break is accepted, stretched, weak, or vulnerable.
The tool is designed for traders who use session structure, Initial Balance concepts, intraday breakouts, and structured risk review. Its purpose is not to create another simple breakout signal. Its purpose is to turn the Initial Balance break into a practical planning framework.
The design philosophy is simple: map the balance, evaluate the break, show the risk, project the planning rails, and keep the next action readable.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most opening-range tools focus on basic breakout direction, raw high/low levels, or target projections.
This script does NOT clone ORB Quality or Opening Range Failure Zones. ORB Quality is focused on opening range breakout quality and drive continuation. Opening Range Failure Zones is focused on failed opening range probes and reclaim zones.
Instead, Initial Balance Break Planner focuses on the post-IB decision layer: is the first Initial Balance break accepted, does the retest response support the break, where is the invalidation reference, where are the target rails, and what should the trader review next?
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script builds the Initial Balance from a configurable session window. The default uses the first 60 minutes of the New York regular session.
2. Reference Mapping
Once the IB window ends, the script locks the IB high, IB low, and midpoint. The box remains centered with an internal state label so the chart stays visually clear.
3. Reaction Evaluation
After the first break, the planner scores the setup using:
• IB width
• Break close quality
• Retest response
• Relative volume support
• Volatility fit
4. Visual Output
The chart displays break labels, acceptance labels, risk-review labels, failed-IB markers, target rails, and an invalidation rail. The panel converts the model into a compact next-action state.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
The Initial Balance box represents the first session balance selected by the user.
Break labels show when price closes beyond the IB edge with enough buffer to start review.
Acceptance labels appear when the break has enough score, enough confirmation time, and controlled failure risk.
Failure-risk labels warn that the break is weakening or returning back inside the balance.
Target rails show measured planning references from the broken IB edge.
The invalidation rail marks the area where the break begins losing acceptance quality.
Panel colors summarize the current state:
• Teal → stronger acceptance or constructive long-side context
• Pink → bearish break side or failed context
• Amber → watch, risk review, or unresolved state
• Indigo / blue → active planning context
🚦 Signals & States
• IB READY → the Initial Balance has locked and the planner is ready to track the first break
• BREAK UP REVIEW → price closed beyond the upper IB edge and long-side review has started
• BREAK DOWN REVIEW → price closed beyond the lower IB edge and short-side review has started
• RETEST HOLD → price retested the broken IB edge without clearly losing it
• ACCEPTED → the break met the acceptance threshold with controlled failure risk
• RISK REVIEW → the break is not yet accepted and failure vulnerability is rising
• FAILED IB → price failed back inside the Initial Balance with elevated weakness context
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when the script detects:
• A bullish IB break review
• A bearish IB break review
• Bullish IB acceptance
• Bearish IB acceptance
• Failure-risk review
• Failed return back inside the IB
Alerts are attention markers only. They are not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest context appears when the break close is clean, the IB width is balanced, volume is supportive, volatility is not overheated, and the retest response holds the broken edge.
When these elements align, the Acceptance Score improves and the panel can move from Observe Retest into Review Long or Review Short.
📊 When to Use
• Intraday markets with clear session structure
• 1-minute to 60-minute charts
• Index, futures, FX, and liquid crypto sessions
• Initial Balance breakout review
• Session expansion planning
• Post-break retest evaluation
• Risk and target planning after the first session balance breaks
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low-liquidity symbols
• Extremely noisy micro timeframes
• Markets with poor session definition
• Events with abnormal volatility spikes
• Symbols where volume data is unreliable and should not be weighted heavily
• Higher timeframes where the selected IB session has little practical meaning
• 4H, daily, weekly, or monthly charts where a one-session Initial Balance cannot be mapped cleanly
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Initial Balance Window → defines the balance-building period
• Tracking Session → defines when break review can update
• Sensitivity → adjusts how selective the planner is
• Acceptance Lookback → controls the review window after the first break
• Minimum Acceptance Score → sets the threshold for accepted-break states
• Confirmation Mode → chooses confirmed-bar behavior or live updating
• Break Buffer ATR → controls how far price must close beyond the IB edge
• Retest Response Buffer ATR → controls retest tolerance around the broken edge
• Failure Buffer ATR → controls how quickly returning inside the IB raises risk
• Target Rail Multiples → control measured target references
• Max Visible IB Boxes → controls how many recent balance boxes stay on the chart
• Max Visible Labels → controls how many recent event labels stay on the chart
• Show IB Ready Labels → optionally displays a readiness label when the Initial Balance locks
• Visual Settings → control labels, box count, rail projection, and spacing
• Panel Settings → control panel visibility, location, theme, and font size
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The script uses a chart-first design. The Initial Balance box is the main anchor, and the centered box label keeps the active state visible without requiring a large dashboard.
Event labels are deliberately compact and offset away from candles. Target rails and invalidation rails are projected only after a break, so the chart remains clean during the balance-building phase.
The AG Pro panel uses a single merged blue header row and five compact rows so the user can quickly scan state, side, score, risk, and action.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel after the Initial Balance locks.
2. Wait for price to break one IB edge.
3. Check whether the break receives a clean score or moves into risk review.
4. Watch the broken edge for retest behavior.
5. Use the target rails and invalidation rail as planning references.
6. Interpret the result within broader market context.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
The Acceptance Score is a quality score, not a prediction. Higher scores mean the break has better internal structure according to the script's rules.
Failure Risk is a warning layer. It rises when price loses acceptance quality, moves back inside the IB, shows weak close behavior, or lacks participation.
The Action row is the most practical summary. It helps the user decide whether the environment is still building, waiting, reviewing, accepted, vulnerable, or better left alone.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine
• Not financial advice
• Not auto trading
• Not guaranteed signals
• Not a generic ORB breakout system
• Not Opening Range Failure Zones
• Not a broad support/resistance or order-block map
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Initial Balance behavior changes across symbols, sessions, and timeframes. A 60-minute IB on one market may behave differently from the same window on another market.
Relative volume can be less useful on symbols where reported volume is incomplete or inconsistent.
Fast news events, thin liquidity, and unusual volatility can reduce the usefulness of any session-break model.
The script evaluates rule-based context only. It cannot know future order flow or guarantee what price will do next.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Initial Balance analysis is most useful when the session has a meaningful opening phase and a clear expansion phase.
A clean break usually needs more than a line cross. The break should show location, acceptance, participation, and controlled risk.
A weak break can still travel further, and a strong break can still fail. The script is designed to help structure the review, not remove uncertainty.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price breaks above the IB high, receives a strong acceptance score, holds the broken edge on retest, and keeps failure risk low, the panel may move into Review Long.
When price breaks below the IB low but quickly returns back inside the balance with weak close quality, the panel may move into Failure Watch or Failed Back In.
When the IB is too wide, volatility is unstable, and the break lacks volume support, the planner can remain cautious even if price has crossed the edge.
🧱 System Philosophy
The AGPro Series approach is built around decision structure, not raw signal output.
Initial Balance Break Planner follows that philosophy by combining a visible session reference with a score, risk layer, target references, and a next-action panel.
The goal is to make the chart easier to interpret without making the chart crowded.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
This script does not provide certainty.
It does not guarantee that an accepted break will continue or that a vulnerable break will reverse.
All outputs should be interpreted as structured analytical context.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own analysis, execution, and risk management.
This script is not financial advice and does not provide guaranteed trading outcomes.
📚 Educational Note
Initial Balance analysis can help traders study how a session moves from balance into expansion, but it should always be combined with broader market structure, liquidity, volatility, and personal execution rules.

📌 Overview / What it does
Volume Expansion Breakout Planner is a chart-first breakout planning tool built around post-breakout participation quality.
Instead of judging only the breakout candle, the script maps the broken reference level, draws an acceptance band, monitors relative volume after the break, tracks whether price holds the path, and converts the full sequence into a 0-100 quality score.
The output includes compact breakout path labels, volume expansion labels, hold labels, failed-volume labels, an invalidation rail, a room or review guide, and a clean AGPro decision panel. It does not predict price, automate entries, or issue trade commands.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built to fill the gap between simple breakout markers and full trade-management tools.
Many breakouts look strong on the first candle but quickly lose participation. Others start quietly and become stronger as post-break volume expands. This tool is designed for traders who want to evaluate that path with structure, not emotion.
The mindset is planning-first: identify the breakout reference, evaluate volume expansion, check acceptance, respect invalidation, and decide whether the path deserves continued attention.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most breakout tools focus on the first break beyond a level.
This script does NOT try to clone a standard breakout volume confirmation tool, a Darvas breakout system, a triangle breakout scanner, or a generic support/resistance map.
Instead, it focuses on the post-break volume expansion path: what happens after the level breaks, whether volume remains constructive, whether price accepts the broken area, and whether the path becomes suspicious or failed.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script builds a prior price structure from a configurable lookback and identifies the upper and lower breakout references.
2. Reference Mapping
When price closes beyond the reference by an ATR-normalized buffer, the script starts a breakout path and draws the broken level, acceptance band, invalidation rail, and a room or review guide.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The model evaluates relative volume, candle efficiency, close location, breakout distance, trend alignment, range quality, post-break participation, progress, acceptance, and failure behavior.
4. Visual Output
The chart displays compact path labels, volume expansion labels, accepted-path labels, failed-volume labels, and a premium AGPro panel summarizing the current decision state.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = the acceptance band around the broken level. Its text changes by state, such as BULL PATH REVIEW, ACCEPTED BULL PATH, or FAILED BEAR PATH.
Labels = compact path state markers such as UP, DN, VOL+, HOLD, FAIL, WATCH UP, and WATCH DN. Label scores can be enabled from settings if the user wants more detail.
Colors = teal for constructive bullish paths, pink for constructive bearish paths, yellow for watch or caution states, indigo for room or review guide emphasis, and muted gray for expired paths.
Panel = the current breakout side, volume expansion state, acceptance state, quality score, and next action.
🚦 Signals & States
• UP → a bullish breakout path has started.
• DN → a bearish breakout path has started.
• VOL+ → post-break volume is expanding with directional follow-through.
• HOLD → the path held beyond the acceptance band with constructive volume.
• FAIL → the path returned into weak-volume or invalidation conditions.
• WATCH UP / WATCH DN → optional approach labels when price is near a breakout reference while relative volume is building.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when a high-quality bullish or bearish volume expansion path starts, when post-break volume expands, when the path becomes accepted, or when failed-volume conditions appear.
These alerts are attention markers for chart review. They are not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest readings usually occur when the breakout closes cleanly beyond the reference, relative volume expands above baseline, candle structure is efficient, trend alignment supports the side, and price later accepts the broken area.
When these conditions align, the quality score improves and the next-action state becomes more constructive.
📊 When to Use
• Breakout continuation review
• Range exits where volume quality matters
• Post-break acceptance monitoring
• Breakouts that need a clear invalidation reference
• Multi-symbol review where traders need fast path-quality comparison
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Low-liquidity symbols with unreliable volume
• Markets with irregular session volume or distorted feeds
• Extremely choppy periods where every break returns inside the prior structure
• Events driven by abnormal news volatility where technical volume baselines become less stable
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Breakout Lookback → controls the prior structure used for breakout references.
• Break Buffer ATR → defines how far price must close beyond the level.
• Volume Baseline Length → controls the relative volume baseline.
• Expansion RVOL Threshold → defines the required volume expansion for strong pulses.
• Minimum Planner Score → controls how selective the main path states are.
• Acceptance Band ATR → controls the decision zone around the broken level.
• Invalidation Rail ATR → controls the structural failure reference.
• Panel / Label Settings → control location, theme, font size, label scores, optional watch labels, and label density.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is built for fast chart reading.
The acceptance band is the main visual anchor. The breakout line, invalidation rail, and room or review guide create a compact planning map without filling the chart with generic zones. Labels are short, shifted slightly away from the candle, and capped by user settings.
The AGPro panel follows the publication standard with a single merged blue header row containing only the script name.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel to see whether a breakout path is active.
2. Check the acceptance band and broken level.
3. Evaluate whether volume is expanding or fading.
4. Watch for ACCEPTED or FAILED VOL states.
5. Use the invalidation rail and room or review guide as planning references within broader market context.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Read the score as a structured quality model, not as certainty.
A higher score means the path has cleaner participation, stronger candle structure, better close quality, better trend alignment, and stronger acceptance behavior according to the script's rules.
A lower score means the path is weaker, less accepted, or more vulnerable to failed-volume behavior.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine
• Not financial advice
• Not auto trading
• Not guaranteed signals
• Not a complete trading system
• Not a generic buy/sell indicator
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Volume quality depends on the reliability of the TradingView volume feed for the selected symbol.
Different timeframes can produce different breakout references and acceptance behavior.
High-volatility news periods, low-liquidity markets, and irregular session activity can reduce the usefulness of relative volume baselines.
The script is rule-based and should be interpreted alongside broader context.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Volume expansion is most useful when it is connected to structure.
The broken level matters because it gives the move a reference. The acceptance band matters because it shows whether the market is holding that reference. The invalidation rail matters because it defines when the path has lost structural quality.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price breaks above a prior range with strong RVOL and later holds the acceptance band, the path may remain constructive.
When price breaks below a range but volume fades and price returns above the broken reference, the path may become suspicious or failed.
When price approaches a reference with building volume but no confirmed break, VOL WATCH keeps the trader aware without turning the tool into a signal board.
🧱 System Philosophy
The script is part of the AGPro planner-style workflow: show the reference, score the context, define invalidation, monitor acceptance, and guide the next review step.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can guarantee continuation, reversal, or outcome certainty.
This tool organizes breakout-volume context so users can evaluate the chart more clearly.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and market interpretation.
This script is provided for educational and analytical use only and does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Use the script to study how post-breakout volume behaves after price leaves a prior structure. The most useful insights often come from comparing accepted paths against failed-volume paths over many examples.

Weekly Open Reaction Map [AGPro Series]Weekly Open Reaction Map
🔹 OVERVIEW
Weekly Open Reaction Map is a focused weekly open overlay built for traders who use the current weekly open as a higher-timeframe anchor.
The weekly open is one of the simplest and most widely watched reference levels on a chart. Many traders mark it manually, but a plain horizontal line does not show whether price is accepting above it, losing it, reclaiming it, or repeatedly reacting through the same area. This script turns the weekly open into a structured reaction map.
The script plots the current weekly open, builds an adaptive reaction band around it, detects accepted behavior above or below the level, marks selective reclaim and loss events, and summarizes the active state in a compact dashboard.
The goal is clarity:
How is price reacting around the current weekly open?
This is not a broad level engine. It is not a full weekly range dashboard. It is not a prior high or prior low tool. It is not a session-open model. It is a single-anchor weekly open reaction framework designed to keep the chart clean while adding practical context.
🔹 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Weekly Open Reaction Map is built around one level only: the current weekly open.
Instead of plotting a large set of reference prices, the script focuses all of its logic on the active weekly open and asks whether price is above it, below it, reclaiming it, losing it, or still testing the reaction area.
Key differentiators:
• Single-anchor design centered only on the current weekly open
• Adaptive reaction band instead of a fragile one-tick line
• Acceptance-side model using sustained closes beyond the band
• Reclaim and loss labels designed to stay selective by default
• Concept-native rectangular reaction zones around confirmed weekly open behavior
• Compact panel showing distance, acceptance side, active-week reaction count, weekly bias, and last event
• Cleaner default visual mode tuned for 1H, 4H, and 1D public-chart presentation
• Optional initial acceptance events for users who want more context
The script is intentionally restrained. It does not try to become a full market structure suite. Its value comes from making one simple, popular, and highly searchable level more readable.
🧭 WHY THIS DOES NOT OVERLAP WITH OTHER AGPRO TOOLS
This script was designed to stay separate from existing AGPro public concepts.
It does not overlap with Daily Open Acceptance Map because this script does not reset around the daily open. The weekly open carries context across several trading days, so the logic is built around a multi-day weekly anchor rather than an intraday daily reference.
It does not overlap with Reference Price Operating Map because this script does not compare multiple reference prices. There is no multi-reference framework here. The weekly open is the only operating level.
It does not overlap with Session Reaction Map because this script does not evaluate Asia, London, New York, or session-start behavior. It continuously follows the active week and reads how price behaves around the weekly open over time.
It does not overlap with PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine because this script does not plot previous day highs, previous day lows, previous week highs, previous week lows, or active range corridors. It avoids becoming a prior-period high/low engine.
It does not overlap with generic support and resistance scripts because its boxes are not derived from swing pivots, historical ranges, or broad supply-demand zones. The reaction zones exist only when weekly open behavior is confirmed.
The scope is narrow by design:
Current weekly open.
Acceptance.
Reclaim.
Loss.
Reaction zones.
Weekly bias.
⚙️ METHODOLOGY
The script reads the current weekly open from the weekly timeframe and projects it onto the active chart.
Around that weekly open, it builds a reaction band. This prevents the script from treating the weekly open as an unrealistically perfect single price. The band can be sized by:
• ATR for volatility-adjusted behavior
• Percent for proportional market structure
• Ticks for fixed instrument precision
The acceptance model checks whether price can sustain closes beyond the reaction band. A single close is not enough by default. The user can define how many consecutive closes are required before the script recognizes accepted behavior.
The engine then tracks which side of the weekly open has been established during the active week.
A weekly open reclaim is detected when price had already traded below the weekly open context and then confirms acceptance back above the level after a recent band interaction.
A weekly open loss is detected when price had already traded above the weekly open context and then confirms acceptance below the level after a recent band interaction.
Optional initial acceptance events can also be enabled. These show which side of the weekly open became dominant first after a new week begins. They are disabled by default so the public chart remains cleaner and more focused on reclaim/loss transitions.
Confirmed events can create rectangular reaction zones. These zones preserve the weekly open area where the reaction was confirmed and project it forward for context. They are concept-native zones, not generic support/resistance boxes.
📊 PANEL
The panel gives a fast read of the active weekly open condition.
Distance
Shows how far current price is from the weekly open, including a percent reading.
Acceptance Side
Shows whether price is accepted above the weekly open, accepted below it, or still testing the weekly open band.
Reaction Count
Counts confirmed weekly open reactions for the active week. The panel uses active-week logic, while visual label limits keep historical charts clean.
Weekly Bias
Summarizes the current weekly open state as Bullish Control, Bearish Control, or Neutral Test.
Last Event
Shows the latest confirmed weekly open event, such as WO Reclaim, WO Loss, WO Accept +, or WO Accept -.
The panel includes adjustable location, theme, and font size controls. The first panel row follows the AGPro standard: a single merged blue header row containing only the script name.

🔍 HOW TO READ IT
Start with the weekly open line.
If price is above the line and the panel shows Above WO, the market is currently accepting above the weekly open band.
If price is below the line and the panel shows Below WO, the market is currently accepting below the weekly open band.
If the panel shows Testing WO, price is still close enough to the reaction band that the weekly open has not resolved clearly.
WO Reclaim
This label means price previously moved below the weekly open context and later confirmed acceptance back above it.
WO Loss
This label means price previously held above the weekly open context and later confirmed acceptance below it.
Reaction Zones
These boxes highlight the weekly open area where a confirmed reaction occurred. They can act as visual memory zones for later retests, pauses, or renewed pressure around the same weekly anchor.
Weekly Bias
The bias reading is not a standalone trade call. It is a context label that tells whether the active week is currently being controlled above the weekly open, below the weekly open, or still near the test area.
Reaction Count
This helps identify whether the week has been clean and directional or has already produced several confirmed weekly open reactions.
🧩 BEST USE CASES
Weekly open context
Use the script to understand whether the active week is being accepted above or below its opening level.
Reclaim tracking
Use WO Reclaim labels to identify when price regains the weekly open after trading below it.
Loss tracking
Use WO Loss labels to identify when price gives up the weekly open after previously holding above it.
Multi-timeframe planning
Use the weekly open as a higher-timeframe anchor while viewing 1H, 4H, or 1D charts.
Clean chart workflow
Use the script when you want one important weekly reference instead of a crowded stack of levels.
Reaction-zone review
Use projected boxes to remember where meaningful weekly open reactions were confirmed.
Public chart publishing
Use the default settings for cleaner TradingView screenshots and a more premium chart layout.
🧠 VISUAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The design philosophy is premium restraint.
The weekly open should be easy to identify, but it should not dominate the chart. Labels should be useful, but not constant. Zones should preserve meaningful reaction areas, but not turn the screen into a grid of boxes.
The default settings are intentionally cleaner:
• Initial acceptance events are off by default
• Reclaim and loss behavior remains the primary visible story
• Label spacing works across weeks, not only inside one week
• Historical label and zone limits are conservative
• The panel uses a compact AGPro dashboard style
• The active weekly open band is visible without overwhelming candles
This helps the script remain practical on 1H, 4H, and 1D views while still giving the chart enough structure to feel complete.
🔔 ALERTS
The script includes alert conditions for key weekly open events:
Weekly Open Reclaim
Triggers when price confirms a reclaim of the weekly open after previously trading below the weekly open context.
Weekly Open Loss
Triggers when price confirms a loss of the weekly open after previously trading above the weekly open context.
Weekly Open Accepted Above
Triggers when price confirms acceptance above the weekly open band.
Weekly Open Accepted Below
Triggers when price confirms acceptance below the weekly open band.
These alerts are designed for context awareness around the weekly open. They are not intended to replace a complete trading plan or broader market review.
🔹 LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
Weekly Open Reaction Map is intentionally focused on one reference level. It does not attempt to map every support/resistance area on the chart.
The script does not include previous day highs, previous day lows, previous week highs, previous week lows, session opens, daily opens, volume profile levels, swing pivots, or order-flow data.
Because the weekly open can behave differently across assets and timeframes, users may need to adjust the reaction band width, confirmation bars, and label spacing for their market.
On very low timeframes, labels can appear more frequently if sensitivity is increased. On higher timeframes, fewer but more meaningful events are expected.
The weekly bias panel is a context tool. It describes the current relationship between price and the weekly open; it does not predict future price movement.
The script is built to stay clean, transparent, and focused. Its strength is not feature volume. Its strength is making one widely used weekly reference level easier to read.
✅ IDEAL USER
This script is ideal for traders who:
• Use the weekly open as a key higher-timeframe reference
• Want a cleaner way to read weekly open acceptance, reclaim, and loss
• Prefer focused tools over crowded multi-level dashboards
• Trade crypto, forex, indices, or liquid stocks where the weekly open is actively watched
• Use 1H, 4H, or 1D charts for market context
• Want reaction zones without turning the chart into a generic support/resistance map
• Publish or review TradingView charts and need a clean visual presentation
• Prefer structured context over excessive labels and visual noise
Weekly Open Reaction Map is built for traders who want the weekly open to become more than a line. It turns that level into a readable acceptance and reaction framework while keeping the chart professional, restrained, and publication-ready. Indicator
Dynamic Acceptance Channel [AGPro Series]Dynamic Acceptance Channel
🔷 Overview
Dynamic Acceptance Channel is an adaptive volatility channel that builds a dynamic upper and lower edge around a robust median midpoint. The channel width breathes with the market's own return distribution and volatility regime, so it naturally widens when the market expands and tightens when it compresses. Every bar is classified as Inside, Breaching, or Respecting the channel, while the width itself is independently tracked as Compressed, Normal, or Expanded. The tool is designed to give traders a clean, consistent framework for reading acceptance, mean-reversion context, volatility squeezes, and adaptive range behavior across crypto, FX, and equities.
🟢 Unique Edge
Most channel indicators on the market rely on a single dispersion model — typically a moving average plus a fixed standard deviation or ATR multiplier. Dynamic Acceptance Channel takes a different route:
▪ Robust median midpoint instead of a simple mean, which stays stable when the market wicks or spikes and is not dragged around by outliers.
▪ Hybrid width model that combines the percentile spread of recent returns with a clamped ATR regime ratio. The user can switch between Hybrid, Return Percentile, or Volatility Regime, depending on whether distribution shape or raw volatility is the priority.
▪ Independent width regime classification (Compressed / Normal / Expanded) ranked against the channel's own history, with hysteresis applied so the regime does not flip-flop around threshold boundaries.
▪ Bar-level state machine (Inside, Breach, Respect) separated from the width regime, so traders can read location and regime as two orthogonal dimensions.
▪ Double-EMA smoothing on both the midpoint and the half-width, producing a calm, professional channel that is readable on any timeframe without looking jagged.
This combination is not found in common Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, or generic ATR channels.
🧭 Methodology
The midpoint is computed as a rolling median using linear-interpolation percentile logic, which is statistically more robust than an arithmetic mean when the return distribution is skewed or heavy-tailed. The half-width is then derived from two independent signals. The first is a return-percentile dispersion term: the script measures the 85th and 15th percentiles of recent per-bar returns, symmetrizes them, and scales by the square root of the lookback window to produce a percentile-based half-width proxy. The second is a volatility regime term: the current 14-bar ATR is compared to its own baseline over the adaptive window, and the resulting ratio is clamped between 0.6 and 1.8 to prevent explosive widths during regime shocks. The final half-width is either one of the two terms or their average, depending on the selected model, then scaled by a user-defined global multiplier and smoothed with double EMA. The width regime classification uses linear-interpolation percentiles of the channel width itself over a separate regime lookback, and a 10% hysteresis buffer prevents rapid state flipping around the Compressed and Expanded thresholds.
🎯 Signals & Alerts
▪ Channel Breached — fires on a fresh upper or lower breach, edge-triggered with a minimum three-bar gap to avoid clusters on choppy bars.
▪ Channel Compressed — fires when the width regime transitions into the Compressed state.
▪ Channel Expanded — fires when the width regime transitions into the Expanded state.
▪ Channel Respected — optional, fires when price wicked outside on the prior bar and closed back inside on the current bar, confirming a rejection at the edge.
Visuals include color-coded upper and lower lines, a regime-tinted fill, small circular breach markers on the breached line (no text labels to avoid clutter), and spaced Compressed or Expanded transition labels anchored outside the channel.
⚙️ Key Inputs
Adaptive Engine
▪ Adaptive Length — lookback window for the channel (default 60).
▪ Channel Width Model — Hybrid, Return Percentile, or Volatility Regime.
▪ Width Scale — global multiplier for tightening or loosening the channel.
▪ Channel Smoothing — EMA length for line smoothness.
▪ Strict Breach Logic — close-based versus wick-based breach.
Width Regime
▪ Compression Threshold — percentile below which the width is Compressed (default 25).
▪ Expansion Threshold — percentile above which the width is Expanded (default 75).
▪ Regime Lookback — lookback for the width percentile ranking (default 150).
Visuals
▪ Show Channel Fill, Show Midline, Show Breach Markers, Show Regime Transition Labels, Regime Label Spacing.
Panel
▪ Show / hide panel, Panel Location (6 options), Panel Font Size, Label Font Size.
Alerts
▪ Channel Breached, Compressed, Expanded, and Respected can be toggled independently.
🧠 How to Use
A common reading is to combine channel state with width regime. When the channel is Compressed and price is riding the edges, the market is often preparing for an expansion phase. When the channel transitions into Expanded, continuation on the active edge is more likely than immediate mean reversion. Respect events at either edge during Normal or Compressed regimes often line up with fade opportunities, while breaches during Expanded regimes often line up with trend continuation context. The midline can be used as a dynamic fair-value reference for pullback entries inside the channel. Traders typically overlay this script with their own structure, momentum, or higher-timeframe bias tools rather than using channel events in isolation.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
▪ The indicator is a context and structure tool. It does not generate buy or sell decisions and does not claim to identify every meaningful reversal or breakout.
▪ The channel is recomputed each bar from recent data, which means the current bar's channel values can refine until bar close.
▪ Width regime classification is relative to the regime lookback, not absolute. On instruments or timeframes with very low variance, the regime may behave differently than on highly volatile markets.
▪ The ATR ratio is intentionally clamped between 0.6 and 1.8. This prevents explosive widths but also means the channel will not fully mirror extreme volatility shocks; this is a deliberate design choice for readability.
▪ Alerts are configured to fire once per bar close to reduce noise. Intrabar conditions may change until close.

Rolling Midpoint Engine [AGPro Series]Rolling Midpoint Engine
### Overview
Rolling Midpoint Engine is an on-chart study that converts the geometric midpoint of the last N bars' high-low range into a living control line. The midline is tracked through three behavioral states — Accepted Above, Accepted Below, and Fight — and a fourth modifier (Strong) highlights high-conviction acceptance beyond an ATR threshold. The goal is to surface how price behaves around a single dominant reference level, not to predict direction or issue trade signals.
### Unique Edge
Most midpoint tools plot a static line and let the user eyeball whether price accepts or rejects it. Rolling Midpoint Engine formalises that observation into a finite state machine that requires consecutive body-closes on one side of the midline before declaring acceptance. This filters single-bar noise and distinguishes casual tags from genuine commitment. The ATR-based Strong modifier adds a second axis of information — how firmly the current side is being held — without multiplying states or cluttering the chart with additional lines.
### Methodology
The midline is computed as the average of the highest high and the lowest low over a user-defined rolling window. Optional light EMA smoothing reduces visual jitter without materially shifting the level; a Strict Reset mode disables smoothing for pure rolling output.
Acceptance is evaluated through two streak counters tracking consecutive closes (or full bars, if the user prefers a stricter rule) on each side of the midline. When a streak reaches the Acceptance Bars threshold, the state transitions to Accepted Above or Accepted Below. If the running streak is positive but below threshold, the state is Fight. A Strong flag activates whenever the current distance from the midline exceeds a configurable ATR multiple.
All logic uses confirmed bar closes. The script does not repaint historical states once a bar has closed.
### States & Alerts
States:
- Fight — price is oscillating around the midline without sustained commitment
- Accepted Above — body-closes above the midline for the required number of bars
- Accepted Below — body-closes below the midline for the required number of bars
- Strong (modifier) — current Accepted state is held beyond the ATR threshold
Alerts:
- Midline Crossed Up / Down — raw price cross of the midline
- Accepted Above / Below — state transitions into acceptance
- Midline Rejection — state flip between Accepted Above and Accepted Below, or collapse from an Accepted state back to Fight
### Key Inputs
- Rolling Length — number of bars defining the range window
- Strict Reset Mode — toggle between pure rolling midline and lightly smoothed output
- Acceptance Bars — consecutive body-closes required for acceptance
- Use Body Close vs. Full Bar — strictness of the side-determination rule
- Strong Threshold — ATR multiple that qualifies an accepted side as Strong
- Label Style / Size — Edge Only, Edge + Transitions, or Off
- Panel Location / Theme / Font Size — four corners plus Middle Right, Dark / Light / Auto themes
- Color Midline by State — toggle state-coloring on the dominant line
### How to Use
Apply the indicator to any symbol and timeframe. The midline acts as a rolling control level; the state label on the right edge summarises the current behavior. Treat Accepted Above / Below as evidence that the midline is holding as support or resistance on the corresponding side. A transition into Strong indicates the holding is well beyond routine noise. A rejection event — the state flipping or collapsing back to Fight — suggests the prior control has been compromised.
This is a contextual reading tool. It does not produce entries, exits, targets, or stops, and should not be read as a recommendation to transact.
### Limitations & Transparency
The midline reflects past price data only and will adapt as new highs or lows enter the rolling window. On illiquid or very low-timeframe charts, the streak-based acceptance logic can feel slow; increasing Acceptance Bars on noisier instruments or lowering it on cleaner ones is expected tuning. The Strong Threshold is volatility-relative via ATR but still an arbitrary cut — defaults are calibrated for typical liquid markets and may need adjustment for thinly traded symbols.
The script uses confirmed closes and does not alter historical state once a bar has closed. Intrabar, the displayed state can update in line with current price, as with any live indicator.
### Risk Disclosure
This indicator is an analytical study. It is not a strategy, not a signal service, and not financial advice. It does not forecast future prices and does not guarantee any outcome. Past behavior of price around the midline does not imply future behavior. Every trading decision is the sole responsibility of the user. Use appropriate risk management and test the tool in a non-committed environment before incorporating it into any workflow. Indicator
AG Pro Volume Profile Acceptance Ladder [AGPro Series]AG Pro Volume Profile Acceptance Ladder
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Volume Profile Acceptance Ladder is a volume-structure indicator designed to monitor whether price is building acceptance, holding acceptance, or losing acceptance inside a rolling volume-defined band. Instead of treating volume profile as a static reference snapshot, this script tracks acceptance as a progressive process. The goal is not to predict where price must go next, but to help the user read whether the market is spending enough time and participation inside a value zone to justify calling that area accepted.
The script builds a rolling profile window, estimates the active acceptance band, and then classifies current behavior into states such as Probe, Build, Accept, Shift Watch, Shift Confirmed, and Fail. This creates a ladder-style framework for reading when the market is stabilizing within one value region and when that acceptance may be migrating toward another region. In practice, that makes it useful for users who want a structured way to distinguish temporary interaction from more durable volume-based acceptance.
A key design goal of this script is to separate acceptance progression from simple attraction-to-level logic. Some tools are built around whether price is pulled back toward a reference such as a POC or another central level. This script focuses on a different question: is the market actually building and holding acceptance inside a rolling value zone, and is that acceptance stable enough to be treated as an active auction area rather than a temporary touch.
Because of that framing, the indicator is best read as a market-structure context tool. It maps an evolving acceptance zone, estimates a directional ladder bias, and provides state transitions that can be used to organize chart reading, scenario planning, or alert workflows. It is not an execution engine, not a broker-grade order book product, and not a substitute for independent trade management.
Unique Edge
The distinguishing feature of this script is that it treats acceptance as a staged process rather than a single level event. The output is not limited to a profile center or a value-area drawing. Instead, the script evaluates how price behaves relative to a rolling volume-defined band and converts that behavior into a progression model.
That matters because a market can interact with a value area in very different ways. It can briefly probe it, begin building around it, hold it in a more stable manner, shift acceptance upward or downward, or fail to maintain acceptance altogether. By organizing those conditions into a ladder of states, the script attempts to make the auction process easier to read in real time.
This also makes the indicator materially different from a standard POC-centered interpretation. The emphasis here is not on magnetic pull toward one volume reference. The emphasis is on whether acceptance is forming, strengthening, or migrating. In that sense, the script is better understood as an acceptance progression map than as a simple volume anchor display.
Methodology
The script uses a rolling lookback window and distributes bar-based volume across a defined number of bins in order to approximate a local volume profile. From that rolling profile it derives the active central reference, the current acceptance band, and the relative participation of that band within the profile window.
Using those profile components, the script calculates several internal measures. These include how often price remains inside the band over a recent hold window, how often price re-enters the band after leaving it, how stable the band center is relative to recent values, and whether the active center appears to be migrating in a meaningful way. These measures are then blended into an aggregate acceptance score and a ladder bias.
The state engine uses those components to classify behavior into the following progression states:
- Reject
- Probe
- Build
- Accept
- Shift Watch
- Shift Confirmed
- Fail
These states should not be read as guarantees of continuation or reversal. They are condition labels describing how the script currently interprets interaction with the active acceptance band.
Signals & Alerts
The script includes deterministic state-based alerts so users can build workflows around changes in acceptance conditions.
Available alert events:
- Acceptance Building
- Acceptance Confirmed
- Upward Ladder Migration Confirmed
- Downward Ladder Migration Confirmed
- Acceptance Failed

- Probe Band Multiplier: Expands the outer interaction zone around the active acceptance band.
- Hold Lookback: Defines the window used for hold and re-entry style calculations.
- Theme / Panel Location / Panel Font Size / Label Font Size: Presentation controls for chart readability.
- Show Previous Acceptance Band / Show State Markers / Forward Extension Bars: Visual controls for context and labeling.
Limitations & Transparency
This script does not use exchange-native tick-by-tick volume profile data. It uses a bar-based approximation built from the information available to Pine Script on the chart. As a result, the acceptance band and profile structure shown by the indicator should be interpreted as a model of local volume distribution, not as a perfect reconstruction of exchange-level auction detail.
The ladder states are also model outputs, not objective market facts. Small changes in lookback, resolution, or volatility regime can influence how the script classifies the same area. Users should therefore treat the states as structured analytical context rather than as standalone instructions.
The indicator is also not intended to replace broader market analysis. Trend structure, liquidity conditions, volatility regime, higher-timeframe context, and instrument-specific behavior can all affect how useful an acceptance reading is in practice.

AG Pro Price Acceptance Profile [AGPro Series]AG Pro Price Acceptance Profile
OVERVIEW
AG Pro Price Acceptance Profile is a price-structure tool designed to reveal where the market is spending time, where it is repeatedly returning, and where it is rejecting price efficiently.
Instead of using volume distribution, signal arrows, or breakout-style triggers, this script builds an acceptance/rejection map from price-time interaction inside a rolling lookback window. The goal is simple: make it easier to identify where price is being accepted, where it is being rejected, and whether current price is trading inside balance or at its outer edges.
This is not a volume profile clone, not a support/resistance line generator, and not a momentum signal script. It focuses on one specific question:
Which price areas are currently showing repeated acceptance, and which areas are failing to hold price?
That narrow focus is intentional. The script is built as an analytical context tool rather than an entry engine.
UNIQUE EDGE
The core idea is to measure acceptance through price-time behavior rather than centralized volume data.
The profile logic evaluates how often price revisits a zone, how long it tends to remain there, and how efficiently it exits that zone. This creates a structured map of:
- Acceptance zones
- Rejection zones
- The active balance area
- The current market state relative to that balance
Because the methodology is based on price persistence and revisit behavior, the script can be useful on markets where volume-based profiling is either unavailable, fragmented, or not the preferred analytical lens.
METHODOLOGY
The script divides the rolling price range into rows and evaluates each row using multiple internal dimensions derived from recent bars:
1) Time at price
Measures how frequently the market occupies each row across the selected lookback.
2) Revisit density
Tracks how often price returns to a row after leaving it. Repeated revisits can indicate ongoing acceptance or unfinished balancing behavior.
3) Dwell persistence
Approximates whether the market tends to spend stable time in an area rather than only touching it briefly.
4) Rejection speed
Measures how efficiently price exits an area after interaction. Faster and cleaner exits tend to support rejection classification.
5) Balance mapping
Uses the strongest acceptance region to define the current balance area and then classifies the live market location relative to it.
The result is a simplified profile-style framework built from price behavior itself.
HOW TO READ IT
The large balance area highlights the current acceptance region derived from the profile engine.
Acceptance zones mark price areas that showed stronger persistence, repeated interaction, and better structural acceptance within the chosen lookback.
Rejection zones mark areas where price interacted but failed to remain stable, leading to less durable occupation and faster displacement.
The panel is designed to summarize the current profile state:
- Acceptance Strength: relative quality of the dominant accepted area
- Revisit Density: how actively the market is returning to profiled zones
- Balance Width: width of the accepted region relative to the full profiled range
- Rejection Speed: how efficiently price is leaving unstable areas
- Location: whether current price is inside, above, or below balance
In practice, traders can use the script to distinguish between stable trade location and unstable trade location, instead of treating every nearby level as equally important.
KEY INPUTS
Lookback
Controls how much recent history is used to build the profile.
Rows
Defines profile resolution. Higher values increase granularity but can also make the map more sensitive.
Acceptance Threshold / Rejection Threshold
Adjust how selective the script is when classifying stronger acceptance and rejection areas.
Maximum Acceptance / Rejection Zones
Controls chart density and visual focus.
Panel and label settings
Allow adaptation for different chart layouts and screen sizes.
LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
This script does not predict future price movement.
It does not generate guaranteed reversal points.
It does not replace execution logic or risk management.
Acceptance and rejection are contextual measurements derived from the selected lookback and row resolution. Different settings can produce different maps because the profile is adaptive by design.
As with any charting tool based on rolling historical context, zones may evolve when older bars leave the lookback window and new bars enter it.
This script is best used as a contextual framework for market location, not as a standalone trade mandate.
RISK DISCLOSURE
This indicator is for analytical and educational use only. It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or trading guarantees. All trading decisions remain the responsibility of the user. Indicator
Volume Flow Analysis [UAlgo]Volume Flow Analysis is a market profile style volume study that builds a session anchored volume distribution, extracts key reference levels from the previous profile, and generates institutional style context signals based on Auction Market Theory concepts. The script combines several workflows in one tool: previous session volume profile levels (POC, VAH, VAL), liquidity void detection through LVN valleys, acceptance versus rejection logic around value, and Initial Balance with open type classification.
The indicator runs on price ( overlay=true ) and is designed for intraday or swing traders who want a structured read of where value formed in the prior profile and how the current session is interacting with it. Instead of only plotting static lines, the script actively interprets behavior when price moves outside the previous value area. It checks whether the move is rejected quickly (failed auction) or sustained with time and volume (acceptance), which helps distinguish responsive activity from initiative activity.
Another major component is the profile shape and liquidity void framework. The script identifies previous profile shape as P, b, or D based on POC location within the profile range, and it scans for LVN valleys that can act as low participation zones where price may travel quickly. This gives the user both structural context and event based signals from the same indicator.
The result is a comprehensive volume flow dashboard that merges profile levels, session behavior, and AMT inspired signal logic into a single chart layer.
🔹 Features
🔸 1) Anchored Session Volume Profile (Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Custom Anchor)
The script builds a volume profile for each anchor period selected by the user through the Profile Period (Anchor) input. Common choices include Daily, Weekly, and Monthly anchors. When a new anchor session begins, the current session profile is finalized and promoted to the previous profile, then a new profile begins.
This allows the indicator to continuously reference the fully calculated previous profile while the current session is developing.
🔸 2) Price Range Binning with User Defined Resolution
Each session profile is divided into a configurable number of rows (bins). The script maps price activity into these bins and distributes volume proportionally based on the overlap between each candle range and each volume bin.
This creates a more realistic histogram than assigning all candle volume to a single price level, especially for wide range candles.
🔸 3) Previous Profile Core Levels (POC, VAH, VAL)
Once a session completes, the script calculates and stores the key profile levels:
POC (Point of Control), the price bin with the highest volume
VAH (Value Area High)
VAL (Value Area Low)
Value Area is computed by expanding outward from the POC until the chosen percentage of total profile volume is covered. These levels are then plotted on the chart as dynamic reference lines for the next session.
🔸 4) Acceptance vs Rejection Logic Around Previous Value Area
The indicator monitors current session behavior relative to the previous VAH and VAL and classifies behavior as either rejection (failed auction) or acceptance (initiative drive).
Failed Auction (Rejection):
Price trades outside the previous value area but returns back inside before meeting acceptance criteria. This is treated as a failed attempt to establish new value.
Acceptance (Initiative Drive):
Price stays outside the previous value area for a user defined number of bars and accumulates enough volume relative to average volume. This suggests successful acceptance of higher or lower value.
This framework is useful for separating temporary probes from meaningful value migration.
🔸 5) Institutional Style Signal Labels
The script can display signal labels for:
Failed Auction Bullish and Bearish
Acceptance Bullish and Bearish
LVN Traversal Bullish and Bearish
These labels appear directly on price and use user defined bullish and bearish colors for quick interpretation.
🔸 6) LVN Traversal (Liquidity Void / Vacuum) Detection
The script detects low volume nodes as true local valleys in the previous profile histogram. A bin qualifies as an LVN when surrounding bins on both sides have higher volume for a chosen valley depth.
If current price enters one of these prior LVN zones from above or below, the script marks a potential traversal event. This can help identify zones where price may move faster due to lower prior participation.
🔸 7) Previous Profile Shape Classification (P, b, D)
The script classifies the previous profile shape based on where the POC sits within the full profile range:
P shape if POC is near the upper portion of the profile
b shape if POC is near the lower portion
D shape if POC is near the middle
This gives quick context about the prior session structure, which can support directional bias interpretation and session planning.
🔸 8) Initial Balance (IB) Tracking
The indicator tracks the Initial Balance range using a user defined duration in minutes. During the IB window, it records session high and low. After the IB period ends, it can draw an IB box on the chart for visual reference.
This is useful for intraday frameworks where the IB range is used as a key reference for breakout, reversal, and auction development.
🔸 9) Open Type Classification and Daily Bias
At the start of each new anchor session, the script compares the new open to the previous value area and assigns a basic daily bias such as initiative bullish, initiative bearish, or responsive inside. After the IB period completes, it classifies the open type using rule based conditions, including:
Open Drive Bullish / Bearish
Open Rejection Reverse Bullish / Bearish
Open Test Drive Bullish / Bearish
This adds a session narrative layer on top of the profile levels.
🔸 10) Previous Profile Histogram Visualization on Last Bar
On the last bar, the script can render the previous profile histogram as a horizontal bar style distribution using boxes. Bins inside the previous value area can be colored differently from bins outside value.
This provides an at a glance visual summary of where prior volume concentrated, without needing a separate profile tool.
🔸 11) Extensive Visual Customization
Users can configure colors for:
Previous POC
Previous VA levels
Histogram bins
Value area histogram bins
Bullish signals
Bearish signals
This makes it easy to integrate the indicator into existing chart themes and workflows.
🔸 12) Structured Object Based Design
The script uses custom types ( VolumeBin and SessionProfile ) to store profile state, bins, levels, shape, and LVN zones. This object based approach keeps the logic modular and easier to maintain as features are added.
🔹 Calculations
1) Session Detection and Profile Lifecycle
A new profile session is detected with:
bool isNewSession = timeframe.change(i_anchor)
When a new session begins:
The current profile is finalized (end bar, profile calculations)
The current profile becomes the previous profile
A fresh session profile starts from the current bar
This design ensures that current session logic can reference a fully completed previous profile with stable POC, VAH, VAL, shape, and LVN data.
2) Volume Profile Bin Initialization
Each session profile is divided into i_rows equal price bins between session low and session high:
float step = (this.highestPrice - this.lowestPrice) / rows
for i = 0 to rows - 1
float bottom = this.lowestPrice + (i * step)
float top = bottom + step
this.bins.push(VolumeBin.new(top, bottom, 0.0))
As the current session high or low changes, the script rebuilds the current profile bins and repopulates volume from session start to the current bar. This keeps the current profile geometry aligned with the latest session range.
3) Proportional Volume Distribution Across Bins
For each candle, the script distributes volume across all bins according to candle range overlap:
float overlapTop = math.min(h, bin.priceTop)
float overlapBottom = math.max(l, bin.priceBottom)
if overlapTop > overlapBottom
float overlapRatio = (overlapTop - overlapBottom) / barRange
float volToAdd = v * overlapRatio
bin.volumeTotal += volToAdd
this.totalVolume += volToAdd
Interpretation:
Volume is allocated proportionally to the fraction of the candle range overlapping each price bin. This is a practical approximation of intrabar volume distribution across price.
Special handling exists for zero range candles, where volume is assigned to the bin containing the candle price.
4) POC Detection and Profile Max Volume
After session completion, the script scans all bins to find the highest volume bin:
for i = 0 to this.bins.size() - 1
VolumeBin bin = this.bins.get(i)
if bin.volumeTotal > maxVol
maxVol := bin.volumeTotal
pocIndex := i
The POC price is set to the midpoint of that bin:
this.pocPrice := (pocBin.priceTop + pocBin.priceBottom) / 2
The script also stores maxVolume , which is later used to scale histogram width display on the chart.
5) Value Area Calculation (VAH / VAL)
The Value Area is built by expanding outward from the POC until the target percentage of session volume is reached:
float targetVol = this.totalVolume * (vaPct / 100.0)
float currentVol = pocBin.volumeTotal
int upperIndex = pocIndex
int lowerIndex = pocIndex
At each step, the script compares the next upper and lower bin volumes and expands toward the larger volume side first. This continues until the cumulative value area volume reaches the target percentage.
Final levels:
this.vahPrice := this.bins.get(upperIndex).priceTop
this.valPrice := this.bins.get(lowerIndex).priceBottom
This is a standard volume profile style value area expansion method centered on POC.
6) Previous Profile Shape Classification (P, b, D)
The profile shape is inferred from the POC position inside the profile range:
float profileRange = this.highestPrice - this.lowestPrice
float pocPosPct = (this.pocPrice - this.lowestPrice) / profileRange
Classification logic:
P shape if POC is at or above 70 percent of the range
b shape if POC is at or below 30 percent
D shape otherwise
This is a simplified but practical shape proxy based on volume concentration location.
7) LVN (Liquidity Void) Valley Detection
The script identifies LVNs as local volume minima among profile bins, using a user defined valley depth i_lvnDepth . A bin is treated as an LVN if the bins on both sides for the specified depth all have greater volume:
for j = 1 to lvnDepth
if this.bins.get(i - j).volumeTotal <= currentBin.volumeTotal or this.bins.get(i + j).volumeTotal <= currentBin.volumeTotal
isValley := false
break
Only non zero volume bins are considered. Detected LVNs are stored in this.lvnZones for use in later traversal signals.
8) Initial Balance (IB) Calculation
At the start of a new session, the script resets IB state and starts tracking the session open, session start time, and current IB high and low. While the market is still inside the IB duration:
ibHigh := math.max(ibHigh, high)
ibLow := math.min(ibLow, low)
IB tracking ends once the elapsed time exceeds the configured duration in minutes:
if (time - sessionStartTime) >= i_ibMins * 60000
inIb := false
This produces the opening range used for later visualization and open type classification.
9) Daily Bias and Open Type Classification
At each new session open, the script sets a basic bias by comparing the session open to the previous value area:
Open above previous VAH suggests initiative bullish
Open below previous VAL suggests initiative bearish
Open inside previous value suggests responsive / inside
After the IB period ends, the script classifies the open type using rule based comparisons among:
Open location relative to previous VAH / VAL
Close relative to IB highs and lows
Intraday test and rejection behavior around prior value
Examples from the code include:
"Open-Drive Bullish"
"Open-Rejection-Reverse Bearish"
"Open-Test-Drive Bullish"
This gives a structured session narrative that aligns with many profile and AMT workflows.
10) Acceptance vs Failed Auction Logic (Above VAH)
The script tracks consecutive bars and cumulative volume when price closes above the previous VAH:
if close > prevVah
barsAboveVah += 1
volAboveVah += volume
If price returns inside value before acceptance is confirmed, it prints a failed auction bearish signal (fade breakout logic):
if barsAboveVah > 0 and not acceptedAbove and i_sigFailedAuc
isFailedAucBear := true
Acceptance bullish is confirmed only if both time and volume thresholds are satisfied:
if barsAboveVah >= i_accBars and volAboveVah >= (avgVol * i_accVolMult) and not acceptedAbove and i_sigAccept
acceptedAbove := true
isAcceptBull := true
This is a practical combination of time and participation filters, which reduces false acceptance signals from brief low volume excursions.
11) Acceptance vs Failed Auction Logic (Below VAL)
The same framework is applied below the previous VAL:
Tracking closes below VAL:
if close < prevVal
barsBelowVal += 1
volBelowVal += volume
Failed auction bullish if price returns inside before acceptance:
if barsBelowVal > 0 and not acceptedBelow and i_sigFailedAuc
isFailedAucBull := true
Acceptance bearish if time and volume thresholds are met:
if barsBelowVal >= i_accBars and volBelowVal >= (avgVol * i_accVolMult) and not acceptedBelow and i_sigAccept
acceptedBelow := true
isAcceptBear := true
This creates a symmetric AMT style signal model for both sides of value.
12) LVN Traversal Signal Logic
If LVN traversal signaling is enabled, the script checks whether price enters a previous LVN zone from outside:
Bullish traversal candidate when price enters the LVN from below
Bearish traversal candidate when price enters the LVN from above
Code logic example:
if close > lvn.priceBottom and close < lvn.priceTop and close < lvn.priceBottom
isLvnTravBull := true
This flags the moment price enters a potential liquidity void zone where faster movement may occur.
13) Previous Profile Histogram Rendering on Last Bar
On the last chart bar, the script draws the previous session histogram using boxes. Width is normalized by each bin volume relative to the profile max volume:
float widthRatio = bin.volumeTotal / previousProfile.maxVolume
int boxRight = bar_index + math.round((rightBar - bar_index) * widthRatio)
Bins inside VAH and VAL are colored using the value area histogram color, while other bins use the general histogram color. This gives a compact visual profile snapshot without external tools.
14) Dynamic Plots for Previous POC, VAH, and VAL
The previous profile reference levels are continuously plotted as line break style plots:
plot(plotPoc, "Prev POC", color=i_colPoc, linewidth=2, style=plot.style_linebr)
plot(plotVah, "Prev VAH", color=i_colVa, linewidth=1, style=plot.style_linebr)
plot(plotVal, "Prev VAL", color=i_colVa, linewidth=1, style=plot.style_linebr)
These lines provide stable reference levels throughout the current session and form the basis for the acceptance, rejection, and open type logic. Indicator
Market Acceptance Envelope [Interakktive]The Market Acceptance Envelope (MAE) is a diagnostic tool that shows where price statistically belongs — not where it might go. Unlike traditional bands that expand with volatility, MAE expands with acceptance: regions where price rotates comfortably, efficiency drops, and the market agrees on fair value.
This is the anti-Bollinger thesis: bands should represent where price IS accepted, not where it MIGHT reach based on standard deviation.
█ USAGE
The filled corridor represents the current acceptance zone — where price has demonstrated rotational behavior with low directional efficiency. When price is inside the corridor, it's "home." When outside, it's exploring territory the market hasn't yet accepted.
For discretionary traders, MAE provides instant context: "Is price where it belongs, or is it extended?"
For systematic traders, the exported values (confidence, asymmetry, position) can inform position sizing and filter logic.
█ ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Unlike traditional bands centered on a moving average, MAE uses an Acceptance Centroid — a time-weighted price level where acceptance behavior concentrates. The centroid is calculated by weighting price by:
• Inverse efficiency (low efficiency = high acceptance)
• Volatility stability (stable vol = higher weight)
• Dwell factor (time spent near level)
This means the centroid drifts toward where price actually rotates, not simply where it averages.
█ ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
MAE calculates upper and lower boundaries independently. Markets rarely treat up and down equally — during uptrends, the upper boundary may be wider (more accepted upside exploration), while the lower boundary stays tight (quick rejection of dips).
This asymmetry is visible on the chart and exported as a metric (-1 to +1).
█ CONFIDENCE-BASED VISIBILITY
The corridor's opacity reflects acceptance confidence:
• High confidence → clearly visible corridor (price is in accepted rotation)
• Low confidence → faded corridor (trending/directional market, acceptance not established)
When the corridor fades, it's telling you: "Acceptance hasn't been earned here yet."
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
• A diagnostic acceptance envelope showing where price statistically belongs
• Asymmetric by design — upper and lower calculated independently
• Confidence-weighted visibility — fades when acceptance is not earned
• Non-repainting — uses closed-bar data only
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS NOT
• NOT Bollinger Bands (no standard deviation around a mean)
• NOT Keltner Channels (no ATR-scaled envelope)
• NOT a signal generator — no touches = signals philosophy
• NO arrows, NO entries/exits, NO buy/sell recommendations
█ HOW IT WORKS
MAE uses an acceptance-weighted calculation approach:
1. ACCEPTANCE WEIGHT
Each bar receives a weight based on:
• Efficiency: (1 - efficiency) — low efficiency = rotational = high acceptance
• Volatility Stability: stable vol environment = higher weight
• Dwell Factor: price staying near central tendency = higher weight
2. ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Weighted average of price using acceptance weights:
centroid = Σ(price × weight) / Σ(weight)
Smoothed adaptively — faster during drift, slower when stable.
3. ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
Upper and lower distances calculated separately:
• rngUp = acceptance-weighted average of (price - centroid) when price > centroid
• rngDn = acceptance-weighted average of (centroid - price) when price < centroid
4. CONFIDENCE SCORE
Composite of average acceptance weight, volatility stability, and centroid stability.
Maps to corridor opacity: high confidence = visible, low confidence = faded.

Market Acceptance Zones [Interakktive]Market Acceptance Zones (MAZ) identifies statistical price acceptance — areas where the market reaches agreement and price rotates rather than trends.
Unlike traditional support/resistance tools, MAZ does not assume where price "should" react. Instead, it highlights regions where multiple internal conditions confirm balance: directional efficiency drops, effort approximately equals result, volatility contracts, and participation remains stable.
This is a market-state diagnostic tool, not a signal generator.
█ WHAT THE ZONES REPRESENT
MAZ (ATF) — Chart Timeframe Acceptance
A MAZ marks an area where price displayed rotational behaviour and the auction temporarily agreed on value. These zones often act as compression regions, fair-price areas, or boundaries of consolidation where impulsive follow-through is less likely.
Use ATF MAZs to:
- Identify rotational environments
- Avoid chasing price inside balance
- Frame consolidation prior to expansion
MAZ • HTF / MAZ • 2/3 — Multi-Timeframe Acceptance (AMTF)
When Multi-Timeframe mode is enabled, MAZ evaluates acceptance on:
- The chart timeframe
- Two higher structural timeframes
If the minimum consensus threshold is met (default: 2 of 3), the zone is classified as AMTF. These zones represent stronger agreement and typically decay more slowly than single-timeframe acceptance.
AMTF zones are structurally stronger and are useful for:
- Higher-quality rotation areas
- Pullback framing within trends
- Context alignment across timeframes
H • MAZ — Historic Acceptance Zones
Historic MAZs represent older acceptance that has transitioned out of active relevance. These zones are hidden by default and can be enabled to provide long-term memory context.
█ AUTO MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC
When MTF Mode is set to Auto, MAZ uses a deterministic structural mapping based on the current chart timeframe:
- 5m → 15m + 1H
- 15m → 1H + 4H
- 1H → 4H + 1D
- 4H → 1D + 1W
- 1D → 1W + 1M
This ensures consistent higher-timeframe context without manual configuration. Advanced users may switch to Manual mode to define custom timeframes.
█ ZONE LIFECYCLE
MAZ zones are dynamic and maintain an internal lifecycle:
- Active — Acceptance remains relevant
- Aging — Acceptance quality is degrading
- Historic — Retained only for memory context
Zones track price interaction and re-acceptance, which can stabilise or strengthen them. Weak or stale zones are automatically removed to keep the chart clean.
█ HOW TRADERS USE MAZ
MAZ is designed to provide structure, not entries.
Common applications include:
- Avoiding chop when price is inside acceptance
- Framing expansion after clean breaks from MAZ
- Identifying higher-quality rotational pullbacks (AMTF zones)
- Defining objective invalidation using zone boundaries
