Trinity ATR Real Move DetectorTrinity ATR Real Move Detector
This ATR Energy Table indicator is one of the simplest yet most powerful filters you can have on a chart when trading short-dated or 0DTE options or swing trades on any timeframe from 1-minute up to 4-hour. Its entire job is to answer the single most important question in intraday and swing trading: “Does the underlying actually have enough short-term explosive energy right now to make a directional position worth the theta and the spread, or is this just pretty candles that will die in ten minutes?”
Most losing 0DTE and short-dated option trades happen because people buy or sell direction on a “nice-looking” breakout or pullback while the underlying is actually in low-energy grind mode. The premium decays faster than the move develops, and you lose even when you’re “right” on direction. This little table stops that from ever happening again.
Here’s what it does in plain English:
Every bar it measures two things:
- The current ATR on whatever timeframe you are using (1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, etc.). This tells you how big the average true range of the last 14 bars has been — in other words, how violently the stock or index is actually moving right now.
- The daily ATR (14-period on the daily chart). This is your benchmark for “normal” daily movement over the last two–three weeks.
It then multiplies the daily ATR by a small number (the multiplier you set) and compares the two. If the short-term ATR is bigger than that percentage of the daily ATR, the table turns bright green and says “ENOUGH ENERGY”. If not, it stays red and says “NOT ENOUGH”.
Why this works so well:
- Real explosive moves that carry for 0DTE and 1–3 DTE options almost always show a short-term ATR spike well above the recent daily average. Quiet grind moves never do.
- The comparison is completely adaptive — on a high-vol day the threshold automatically rises, on a low-vol day it automatically drops. You never have to guess if “2 points on SPY is big today”.
- It removes emotion completely. You simply wait for green before you even think about clicking buy or sell on an option.
Key settings and what to do with them:
- Energy Multiplier — this is the only number you ever touch. It is expressed as a decimal (0.15 = 15 % of the daily ATR). Lower = more signals, higher = stricter and higher win rate. The tooltip gives you the exact sweet-spot numbers for every popular timeframe (0.09 for 1-minute scalping, 0.13 for 3-minute, 0.14–0.16 for 5-minute, 0.15–0.19 for 10-minute, etc.). Just pick your timeframe once and type the number — done forever.
- ATR Length — leave it at 14. That’s the standard and works perfectly.
- Table Position — move the table to wherever you want on the chart (top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left, top-left).
- Table Size — make the text Tiny, Small, Normal or Large depending on how much screen space you have.
How this helps you make money and stop losing it:
- On most days you will see red 80–90 % of the time — that’s good! It is forcing you to sit on your hands instead of overtrading low-energy chop that eats premium.
- When it finally flips green you know institutions are actually pushing size right now — follow-through probability jumps from ~40 % to 65–75 % depending on the stock and timeframe.
- You stop buying calls on every green candle and puts on every red candle. You only strike when the market is genuinely “awake”.
- Over a week you take dramatically fewer trades, but your win rate and average winner size go way up — which is exactly how consistent intraday option profits are made.
In short, this tiny table is the closest thing to an “edge on/off switch” that exists for short-dated options. Red = preserve capital and go do something else. Green = pull the trigger with confidence. Use it religiously and you’ll immediately feel the difference in your P&L.

Adaptive Risk Management [sgbpulse]1. Introduction:
Adaptive Risk Management is an advanced indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive risk management tool directly on the chart. Instead of relying on complex manual calculations, the indicator automates all critical steps of trade planning. It dynamically calculates the estimated Entry Price , the Stop Loss location, the required Position Size (Quantity) based on your capital and risk limits, and the three Take Profit targets based on your defined Reward/Risk ratios. The indicator displays all these essential data points clearly and visually on the chart, ensuring you always know the potential risk-reward profile of every trade.
ARM : The A daptive R isk M anagement every trader needs to ARM themselves with.
2. The Critical Importance of Risk Management
Proper risk management is the cornerstone of successful trading. Consistent profitability in the market is impossible without rigorously defining risk limits.
Risk Control: This starts by setting the maximum risk amount you are willing to lose in a single trade (Risk per Trade), and limiting the total capital allocated to the position (Max Capital per Trade).
Defining Boundaries (Stop Loss & Take Profit): It is mandatory to define a technical Stop Loss and a Take Profit target. A fundamental rule of risk management is that the Reward/Risk Ratio (R/R) must be a minimum of 1:1.
3. Core Features, Adaptivity, and Customization
The Adaptive Risk Management indicator is engineered for use across all major trading styles, including Swing Trading, Intraday Trading, and Scalping, providing consistent risk control regardless of the chosen timeframe.
Real-Time Dynamic Adaptivity: The indicator calculates all risk management parameters (Entry, Stop Loss, Quantity) dynamically with every new bar, thus adapting instantly to changing market conditions.
Trend Direction Adjustment: Define the analysis direction (Long/Uptrend or Short/Downtrend).
Intraday Session Data Control: Full control over whether lookback calculations will include data from Extended Trading Hours (ETH), or if the daily calculations will start actively only from the first bar of Regular Trading Hours (RTH).
Status Validation: The indicator performs critical status checks and displays clear Warning Messages if risk conditions are not met.
4. Intuitive Visualization and Real-Time Data
Dynamic Tracking Lines: The Entry Price and Stop Loss lines are updated with every new bar. Crucially, the length of these lines dynamically reflects the calculation's lookback range (e.g., the extent of Lookback Bars or the location of the confirmed Pivot Point), providing a visual anchor for the calculated price.
Risk and Reward Zones: The indicator creates a graphical background fill between Entry and Stop Loss (marked with the risk color) and between Entry and the Reward Targets (marked with the reward color).
Essential Information Labels: Labels are placed at the end of each line, providing critical data: Estimated Entry Price, Stock/Contract Quantity (Quantity), Total Entry Amount, Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Total Financial Risk (Risk Amount), Exit Amount, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.1. Data Window Metrics (16 Full Series)
The indicator displays 16 full data series in the TradingView Data Window, allowing precise tracking of every calculation parameter:
Entry Data: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Entry Amount.
Risk Data (Stop Loss): Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Risk Amount, Exit Amount.
Reward Data (Take Profit): Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.2. Instant Tracking in the Status Line
The indicator displays 6 critical parameters continuously in the indicator's Status Line: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Estimated Stop Loss, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3.
5. Detailed Indicator Inputs
5.1 General
Focused Trend: Defines the analysis direction (Uptrend / Downtrend).
Max Capital per Trade: The maximum amount allocated to purchasing stocks/contracts (in account currency).
Risk per Trade: The maximum amount the user is willing to risk in this single trade (in account currency).
ATR Length: The lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation.
5.2 Intraday Session Data Control
Regular Hours Limitation : If enabled, all daily lookback calculations (for Entry/Stop Loss anchor points) will begin strictly from the first Regular Trading Hours (RTH) bar. This limits the lookback range to the current RTH session, excluding preceding Extended Trading Hours (ETH) data. Only relevant for Intraday charts. Default: False (Off)
5.3 Entry Inputs
Entry Method: Selects the entry price calculation method:
Current Price: Uses the closing price of the current bar as the estimated entry point (Market Entry).
ATR Real Bodies Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum Real Body over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Real Body over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum High price over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Low price over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The number of bars used to calculate the extremes in the ATR-based entry methods (Relevant only for ATR Real Bodies Margin and ATR Bars Margin methods).
ATR Multiplier (Entry): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to determine the estimated Entry Price.
5.4 Risk Inputs (Stop Loss)
Risk Method: Selects the Stop Loss price calculation method.
ATR Current Price Margin :
- Uptrend: Entry Price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Entry Price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Current Bar Margin :
- Uptrend: Current Bar's Low price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Current Bar's High price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Lowest Low over lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Highest High over lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Pivot Margin :
- Uptrend: The first confirmed Pivot Low point - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: The first confirmed Pivot High point + the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The lookback period for finding the extreme price used in the 'ATR Bars Margin' calculation.
ATR Multiplier (Risk): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to place the estimated Stop Loss. Note: If set to 0, the Stop Loss will be placed exactly at the technical anchor point, provided the Minimum Margin Value is also 0.
Minimum Margin Value: The minimum price value (e.g., $0.01) the Stop Loss margin buffer must be.
Pivot (Left / Right): The number of bars required on either side of the pivot bar for confirmation (relevant only for the ATR Pivot Margin method).
5.5 Reward Inputs (Take Profit)
Show Take Profit 1/2/3: ON/OFF switch to control the visibility of each Take Profit target.
Reward/Risk Ratio 1/ 2/ 3: Defines the R/R ratio for the profit target. Must be ≥1.0.
6. Indicator Status/Warning Messages
In situations where the Stop Loss location cannot be calculated logically and validly, often caused by a mismatch between the configured Focused Trend (Uptrend/Downtrend) and the actual price action, the indicator will display a warning message, explaining the reason and suggesting corrective action.
Status Message 1: Pivot reference unavailable
Condition: The Stop Loss is set to the "ATR Pivot Margin" method, but the anchor point (Pivot) is missing or inaccessible.
Message Displayed: "Pivot reference unavailable. Wait for valid price action, or adjust the Regular Hours Limitation setting or Pivot Left/Right inputs."
Status Message 2: Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe
Condition: The calculated Stop Loss is placed illogically or unsafely relative to the trend direction and the Entry price.
Message Displayed: "Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe for current trend. Wait for valid price action or adjust SL Lookback/Multiplier."
7. Summary
The Adaptive Risk Management (ARM) indicator provides a seamless and systematic approach to trade execution and risk control. By dynamically automating all critical trade parameters—from Entry Price and Stop Loss placement to Position Sizing and Take Profit targets—ARM removes emotional bias and ensures every trade adheres strictly to your predefined risk profile.
Key Benefits:
Systematic Risk Control: Strict enforcement of maximum capital allocation and risk per trade limits.
Adaptivity: Dynamic calculation of prices and quantities based on real-time market data (ATR and Lookback).
Clarity and Trust: Clear on-chart visualization, precise data metrics (16 series), and unambiguous Status/Warning Messages ensure transparency and reliability.
ARM allows traders to focus on strategy and analysis, confident that their execution complies with the core principles of professional risk management.

BT SpikeBT Spike is a lightweight but highly effective alert engine designed to identify
moments of unusual volatility and volume expansion . These spikes often appear
at the very beginning of major moves, giving traders early insight into:
Momentum ignition
Breakout confirmation
Liquidity shifts
Stop runs & displacement moves
Trend acceleration
High-impact expansions before news or volatility events
Rather than watching charts all day, BT Spike allows traders to receive
instant alerts whenever the market enters an abnormal volatility regime.
---
■ What BT Spike Measures
1. ATR Spike
Detects sudden expansion in true range (micro-volatility).
This often marks the beginning of a displacement candle.
2. Volume Spike
Identifies candles where volume exceeds typical market participation.
3. Combined Spike
A powerful signal triggered only when both conditions occur together:
ATR Spike AND Volume Spike
4. Spike Score (0–100)
A normalized measure of spike intensity.
• Higher score → Stronger anomaly
• 90+ → Extreme event (liquidity shifts, stop runs, institutional activity)
---
■ Visual Elements
• True Range Line
Shows per-candle volatility relative to baseline ATR.
• Volume Bars (Color-Scaled)
Volume bars turn:
Green for bullish spikes
Red for bearish spikes
Intensity based on Spike Score
Gray during normal activity
This creates a clear volatility heatmap directly in the volume panel.
• Spike Score Histogram
Helps visually identify:
Minor spikes
Major volatility clusters
Extreme anomalies
• Threshold Lines
Yellow = Minor
Orange = Major
Red = Extreme
---
■ Why BT Spike Is Useful
Spike-based analysis helps traders:
Catch large moves early
Confirm breakouts and avoid fake ones
Identify when smart money enters the market
Find the start of momentum legs
Monitor many charts with alerts instead of manual watching
A spike is often the first footprint of a meaningful move.
---
■ Practical Trading Uses
1. Breakout Confirmation
A breakout with no spike is often weak.
A breakout with a spike is typically genuine and sustained.
2. Reversal Detection
Extreme spike after a sweep often signals a reversal event.
3. Trend Ignition
Spikes frequently occur at the beginning of:
Trend legs
News-driven surges
Momentum continuation moves
4. Divergence With Price
High-volume, high-ATR spikes with little price movement can indicate:
Absorption
Trap conditions
Exhaustion
5. Alert-Driven Market Monitoring
Set alerts for:
ATR Spike
Volume Spike
Combined Spike
Major Spike (Score ≥ threshold)
Extreme Spike (Score ≥ threshold)
This allows traders to walk away while still catching every volatility event.
---
■ Spike Score Guide
0–30 → Mild noise
30–60 → Minor shift
60–80 → Strong volatility expansion
80–95 → Major spike (high-impact)
95–100 → Extreme event (institutional presence, sweeps, stop runs)
---
■ Final Summary
BT Spike gives traders:
Early detection of volatility expansion
Bull/Bear intensity visualization
Powerful alert automation
A universal signal layer that fits any strategy
Cleaner insight into where major moves originate
BT Spike = Your volatility radar .
It tells you when to look at a chart—before the move happens.
BT Delta AbsorptionBT Absorption detects aggressive counterflow volume—moments where one side
of the market (buyers or sellers) attacks aggressively, yet price fails to move
proportionally.
This is the classic definition of absorption:
"Large market orders are being absorbed by strong passive limit orders."
Absorption is one of the most reliable early signals for:
Reversals
Trap conditions
Failed breakouts
Liquidity grabs
Fake displacement moves
---
■ What BT Absorption Measures
1. Delta Imbalance
Identifies when buying or selling pressure becomes unusually one-sided.
2. Volatility Mismatch
Shows when large delta does NOT translate into meaningful price movement.
3. Absorption Strength Score
A normalized reading (often 0–100) showing the intensity of counterflow activity.
4. Wick & Structure Absorption
Wick-driven absorption helps identify:
Failed sweeps
Stop hunts
Rejection zones
Trapped traders
---
■ Why Absorption Matters
Absorption almost always precedes:
Reversals
Failed breakout moves
SMC/ICT-style displacement
Order block formation
Trend continuation after a trap
When aggressive traders cannot move price toward their desired direction,
the move typically reverses quickly—and with force.
---
■ Visual Elements
• Bull Absorption Marker
Often appears near lows—signals seller aggression failing to push price down.
• Bear Absorption Marker
Often appears near highs—signals buyer aggression failing to break higher.
• Absorption Score Heatmap (optional)
Shows intensity of absorption per candle.
• Threshold Levels
Identify when absorption becomes statistically significant.
---
■ How to Use BT Absorption in Trading
1. Reversal Detection
Look for absorption after:
Equal highs/lows
Sweeps
Stop runs
Breakout failures
This is often the earliest possible signal that a reversal is coming.
2. Filter Breakouts
A breakout without absorption is usually weak.
A breakout with absorption against it is likely a fakeout.
3. Confirm SMC/ICT Concepts
The indicator pairs perfectly with:
Fair Value Gaps
Order Blocks
Liquidity sweeps
Displacement legs
If your setup triggers and absorption confirms → high confidence.
4. Identify Trap Conditions
Absorption often marks:
Trapped breakout chasers
Trapped trend shorts
Imbalanced orderflow
These create ideal high-R trades.
5. Alert-Driven Market Monitoring
Use alerts for:
Bull Absorption
Bear Absorption
High-strength absorption
Absorption clusters
This allows traders to step away from charts while still catching
high-probability reversals.
---
■ High-Probability Absorption Setups
A) Sweep + Absorption
Swept level → absorption → enter opposite direction.
B) Failed Breakout Absorption
Breaks structure → delta fails → absorption prints → strong reversal.
C) Trend Continuation Absorption
Absorption against the correction often precedes continuation.
D) Absorption Clusters
Multiple absorption signals indicate a structural market shift.
---
■ Final Summary
BT Absorption provides:
Early reversal signals
Counterflow pressure detection
Confirmation for existing setups
Identification of liquidity traps
Alert-based monitoring across multiple markets
BT Absorption is the perfect complement to BT Spike:
• BT Spike = detects volatility ignition
• BT Absorption = detects failed aggression + reversals
Combined, they form a complete liquidity and orderflow toolkit.
Triple ATR Adaptive MAs + VWAP Option + Clouds + Candle Trend V2Another one of my experiences ... combining things...
📘 Indicator Description – Triple ATR Adaptive Moving Averages with VWAP Influence
This indicator plots three adaptive moving averages whose behavior changes dynamically based on market volatility (ATR) and optionally VWAP deviation.
Because they adapt in real time to both volatility and VWAP pressure, their movement, slope, and reaction speed differ significantly from traditional moving averages.
🔶 1. ATR-Adaptive Moving Averages
Each of the three MAs uses a custom adaptive formula:
ATR (Average True Range) is measured over a chosen period.
Higher ATR → more volatility → the MA becomes more reactive and moves closer to price.
Lower ATR → stable market → the MA becomes smoother and slower.
This creates a volatility-aware smoothing factor, making the MA expand, contract, and respond to market conditions in ways a classic SMA, EMA, or HMA cannot.
🔷 2. Optional VWAP Influence
Each MA has an independent toggle allowing it to be influenced by VWAP.
When enabled:
The MA is gently “pulled” toward VWAP.
The strength of this attraction is determined by the VWAP Influence parameter (0–1).
This causes the moving averages to behave differently from normal MAs:
In trending markets, the ATR and price push the MA away from VWAP.
In mean-reverting or balanced conditions, VWAP pulls the MA back toward fair value.
The result is an MA that reflects both trend pressure and fair-value pressure.
🔶 3. Visual Behavior: Non-Traditional Movement
Because each MA is simultaneously influenced by volatility, trend magnitude, and VWAP deviation, their shape is often very distinct from normal moving averages.
They may:
Respond faster during high volatility
Flatten out earlier during consolidation
Curve toward VWAP when price becomes extended
Separate or compress depending on ATR strength
This is intentional and essential, since the goal is to show:
✔ Volatility expansion
✔ Trend exhaustion
✔ Overextended price relative to VWAP
✔ Dynamic trend confirmation
Rather than simply smoothing past price.
🔷 4. Three Independent Adaptive Lines
Each of the three moving averages has:
Its own ATR length
Its own sensitivity multiplier
Its own optional VWAP influence
Its own color and trail
This allows the user to combine:
a fast volatility-adaptive trend line
a mid-range adaptive baseline
a slow adaptive long-trend MA
All adapting independently to volatility and VWAP conditions.
🔶 5. Optional Candle Coloring
The indicator can color candles according to trend strength derived from the fast/slow MAs.
Stronger trends produce more vivid colors. Neutral or conflicting trends produce softer colors.
This adds a visual layer to identify:
Trend direction
Trend strength
Volatility state
Market compression
at a glance.
📌 Summary
This indicator does not behave like standard SMAs or EMAs because each line dynamically adapts to:
🔸 ATR (volatility)
🔸 VWAP (fair value)
This makes the indicator extremely responsive to market conditions while still reducing noise during stable phases.
It provides a more realistic, context-aware, and intelligent representation of price behavior compared to traditional moving averages.
Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager MNQ [HERMAN]Title: Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager MNQ
Description:
The Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager is a dedicated risk management utility designed specifically for traders of Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures (MNQ).
Many traders struggle with position sizing because they use a fixed Stop Loss size regardless of market conditions. A 10-point stop might be safe in a slow market but easily stopped out in a high-volatility environment. This indicator solves that problem by monitoring real-time volatility (using ATR) and automatically suggesting the appropriate Stop Loss size and Position Size (Contracts) to keep your dollar risk constant.
Note: This tool is hardcoded for MNQ (Micro Nasdaq) with a tick value calculation of $2 per point.
📈 How It Works
-This script operates on a logical flow that adapts to market behavior:
-Volatility Measurement: It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined length (Default: 14) to gauge the current "speed" of the market.
-State Detection: Based on the current ATR, the script classifies the market into one of three states:
Low Volatility: The market is chopping or moving slowly.
Normal Volatility: Standard trading conditions.
High Volatility: The market is moving aggressively.
Dynamic Stop Loss Selection: Depending on the detected state, the script selects a pre-defined Stop Loss (in points) that you have configured for that specific environment.
Position Sizing Calculation: Finally, it calculates how many MNQ contracts you can trade so that if your Stop Loss is hit, you do not lose more than your defined "Max Risk per Trade."
🧮 Methodology & Calculations
Since this script handles risk management, transparency in calculation is vital.
Here is the exact math used:
ATR Calculation: Contracts = Max Risk / Risk Per Contract
⚙️ Settings
You can fully customize the behavior of the risk manager via the settings panel:
Risk Management
-Max Risk per Trade ($): The maximum amount of USD you are willing to lose on a single trade.
Volatility Thresholds (ATR)
-ATR Length: The lookback period for volatility calculation.
-Upper Limit for LOW Volatility: If ATR is below this number, the market is "Low Volatility."
-Lower Limit for HIGH Volatility: If ATR is above this number, the market is "High Volatility." (Anything between Low and High is considered "Normal").
Stop Loss Settings (Points)
-SL for Low/Normal/High: Define how wide your stop loss should be in points for each of the three market states.
Visual Settings
-Color Theme: Switch between Light and Dark modes.
-Panel Position: Move the dashboard to any corner or center of your chart.
-Panel Size: Adjust the scale (Tiny to Large) to fit your screen resolution.
📊 Dashboard Overview
-The on-screen panel provides a quick-glance summary for live execution:
-Market State: Color-coded status (Green = Low Vol, Orange = Normal, Red = High Vol).
-Current ATR: The live volatility reading.
-Suggested SL: The Stop Loss size you should enter in your execution platform.
-CONTRACTS: The calculated position size.
-Est. Loss: The actual dollar amount you will lose if the stop is hit (usually slightly less than your Max Risk due to rounding down).
Who is this for?
-Discretionary and systematic futures traders on MNQ (/MNQ or MES also works with small adjustments)
-Anyone who wants perfect risk consistency regardless of whether the market is asleep or exploding
-Traders who hate manual position-size calculations on every trade
No repainting
Works on any timeframe
Real-time updates on every bar

KIMATIX VWAP/EMA System (by ASCE)**KIMATIX VWAP/EMA System (by ASCE)**
A precision-built intraday framework for momentum, structure, and liquidity timing.
**Why this indicator exists**
Most traders see movement, but not context. They enter too late, chase momentum, or fade reversals without understanding where institutional players react.
This tool solves that problem by combining two of the most powerful structural concepts in intraday price discovery:
Trend alignment through EMAs
Liquidity reaction zones through VWAPs
Together, they provide directional clarity, timing, and trade location.
**Core Components**
**Three Trend EMAs**
• **EMA 7** – Microtrend and momentum speed
• **EMA 23** – Intraday trend leadership
• **EMA 50** – Higher-timeframe structure anchor
This trio shows how price accelerates, slows, flips bias, or compresses.
**Three Volume-Weighted Average Prices**
• **Daily VWAP** – Primary scalper reference point
• **Weekly VWAP** – Bias filter and intermediate balance zone
• **Monthly VWAP** – High-impact “magnet” where major reactions occur
VWAP represents the fair value where volume is distributed.
When price taps, rejects, or reclaims these levels, liquidity flow shifts — ideal for scalp-to-swing entries.
**What it helps you see**
• When price is aligned with or diverging from trend
• Where momentum will expand or fail
• Which levels larger participants defend
• Where the highest-probability reaction zones form
This is not a signal tool — it is a structure and decision-making framework used by professional intraday traders.
**How to use it**
1. **Trade with VWAP alignment** – expect reactions at daily/weekly/monthly VWAPs
2. **Follow EMA flow** – when EMAs compress or flip, momentum changes
3. **Look for price interaction** – rejection, reclaim, or breakthrough of a VWAP often leads to fast moves
Ideal for scalping, day-trading, futures, FX, indices, crypto, and metals.
**Customization**
Colors for each EMA and each VWAP can be personalized, allowing alignment with your charting workflow.
**Final Notes**
This system gives you the *context* most traders miss — where trend meets liquidity.
Use it as a roadmap to understand where price *should* react and when momentum is likely to shift.

Chaos Volatility Breakout (ATR + Breakout)-VMThis indicator is a volatility-based breakout trading tool inspired by principles from Chaos Theory, where small changes in momentum during high-energy market conditions can lead to large price movements.
Instead of predicting the market, it focuses on identifying “high-probability expansion zones”—moments when the market is under stress (high volatility) and price is breaking out of a recent range.
Pure xATR ProUncover the hidden rhythm of the market with Pure xATR Pro. This indicator is designed for serious traders who need to understand "Price Extension". It calculates the precise distance between the price and the baseline Moving Average (MA) relative to market volatility (ATR). Instead of guessing top and bottom, visualize exactly where the price stands in the cycle—from extreme panic selling to euphoric profit-taking.
Key Features:
4-Stage Market Zoning System:
Panic Zone (Oversold): Identifies extreme price drops (statistically rare deviations). Often presents high-reward mean reversion opportunities.
Buy Zone (Entry): The sweet spot for trend initiation.
Hold / Winner Zone: Detects strong momentum. Keeps you in the trade while the trend is healthy (Ride the trend).
Profit Taking Zone (Overbought): signals when the price is statistically overextended and liable to pullback.
Adaptive Volatility Logic:
Includes a dynamic algorithm that analyzes historical volatility (Lookback Period) to automatically adjust Overbought/Oversold percentiles, adapting to changing market conditions.
Professional Dashboard:
Real-time Status: Displays current Zone, Volatility State (Breakout/Normal), and Actionable Advice.
Risk Management: Auto-calculates Dynamic Stop Loss (based on Supertrend, ATR, or MA) and Fixed % Risk.
Multi-Level Targets: Automatically projects 3 profit targets (TP) based on ATR multiples.
Clean & Customizable Visuals:
Smart Highlighting: Background colors automatically highlight key zones (Panic/Buy/Hold/Profit).

Volatility Radar [upslidedown]💎 Overview
Volatility Radar visualizes extreme volatility conditions in a clean, intuitive oscillator format.
Unlike traditional momentum oscillators, it transforms average true range (ATR) behavior into a directional volatility structure, making it easier to spot moments when markets may be shifting into expansion, compression, or potential pivot zones.
💎 How to Use
The oscillator highlights moments when the internal volatility condition becomes active as well as when that condition breaks. These events may coincide with structural turning points, breakout conditions, or volatility expansions. While not a prediction tool, Volatility Radar helps traders identify moments worth paying closer attention to.
💎 Signal Markers
■ Square icons on top/bottom identify when the Volatility Radar condition is ACTIVE
▲▼ Triangle icons on top/bottom identify when the Volatility Radar condition BREAKS
📌 Chart Example:
💎 Oscillator Trends
One of the core features of Volatility Radar is its ability to highlight positive or negative volatility trends. The oscillator automatically colors its components to reflect uptrending vs. downtrending volatility structure, making trend context easier to interpret at a glance.
📌 Chart Example:
💎 Histogram Trends
For users who prefer a more compact or traditional visual style, Volatility Radar includes an optional histogram display mode. This mode provides a clean representation of the detected trend and can be helpful for validating price-action concepts within the broader volatility context.
📌 Chart Example:
💎 Volatility Moving Average
The yellow moving average line offers a volatility moving average that can aid in determining longer term trend strength.
Interpret the trend direction by observing whether the average is increasing/decreasing or above/below the zero line.
Reversals may be observed when values move into oversold territories.
Trend continuation may occur during periods when the average is near the zero line.
Evaluate opportunities when the moving average is "touched" or "pinged" by the radar line (setting available to highlight these crosses).
📌 Chart Example:
💎 Backtesting Support
Volatility Radar outputs external signals designed for use with automated backtesting on TradingView. It integrates with @jason5480’s open-source Template Trailing Strategy and its supporting signal libraries.
Aydan Scalper v2This indicator, called the Aydan Scalper, combines an 8-period EMA (plotted in green) and a 20-period EMA (plotted in red) to identify buy and sell signals based on their crossovers. When the green 8 EMA crosses above the red 20 EMA from below, it signals a buy opportunity. Conversely, when the green 8 EMA crosses below the red 20 EMA from above, it signals a sell opportunity. Additionally, an ATR (Average True Range) indicator is included to gauge market volatility. This combination helps scalpers make informed trading decisions on a one-minute chart.”
QFT MTF Range DetectorQFT MTF Range Detector — QuantumFlowTrader
Description:
The QFT MTF Range Detector is a multi-timeframe (MTF) tool designed to identify consolidation zones or ranging conditions across multiple intraday timeframes — from 1 minute up to 4 hours. This indicator is optimized for high-frequency trading environments such as scalping and day trading.
How it works:
For each selected timeframe, the indicator evaluates five key technical conditions:
- Low ADX (less than 17) – suggesting weak trend strength.
- Range width within a specific normalized threshold.
- Normalized ATR (volatility filter) in a defined range.
- RSI near the neutral zone (40–60) with low volatility.
- Price proximity to the mid-range (consolidation center).
Each condition contributes a score. If at least 3 out of 5 conditions are met, that timeframe is considered to be in a range (consolidation).
Visual output:
A compact table is displayed on the chart showing all selected timeframes:
Black box = Timeframe is in a range (consolidation).
Purple box = Not in a range (likely trending or volatile).
Timeframes are labeled (e.g., "4H", "15M") for clarity.
Customization:
Choose display corner (top/bottom, left/right).
Enable or disable table borders.
Set custom colors for range and non-range signals.
Use case:
Traders can quickly assess which timeframes are in a range, helping them:
Avoid choppy markets,
Time entries and exits better,
Confirm multi-timeframe alignment.
Note: This is not a buy/sell signal indicator. It is a market condition filter to enhance decision-making.
QuantumFlowTrader V1QuantumFlowTrader V1 — Adaptive Institutional Flow Framework
Overview
QuantumFlowTrader V1 is a precision-built visual tool that fuses institutional structure, dynamic volatility, and balance zones into one unified system.
It is designed to help traders align with the market’s internal flow without relying on lagging indicators or fixed settings.
Core Components
1. Adaptive EMA Clouds — Structural Flow
Layered exponential moving averages adapt to current conditions, clearly showing when market structure is aligned or in transition. Cloud color and intensity adjust automatically to reflect real-time directional bias.
2. Dynamic VWAP + Deviation Zones
Includes a self-adjusting VWAP with optional deviation bands (VWAP Deviation Zones) that reflect institutional fair-value areas — places where price often reacts, pauses, or mean-reverts.
The VWAP line shifts color based on price positioning.
3. Quantum ATR Engine — Multi-Layer Volatility Sync
A proprietary multi-ATR engine detects when volatility signals align in one direction across multiple sensitivities.
Arrows appear only on full directional agreement, signaling high-conviction flow moments.
4. Session Visualization + Arrow Filtering
Background shading highlights key trading sessions (Asia, London, USA).
You can optionally disable arrow signals during specific sessions for a cleaner view.
Features & Alerts
- Toggle EMA Clouds, VWAP, Deviation Zones, and ATR Arrows independently.
- Customize all colors, transparencies, and visual styles.
- Built-in alerts for bullish and bearish arrow signals.
Compatibility
Works on all assets: Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, Futures.
Fully adaptive across all timeframes — intraday to swing.
No optimization needed — smart parameters adjust automatically.
Strategy Alignment Tip
QuantumFlowTrader V1 adapts to any trading strategy and acts as a directional compass for market flow.
It becomes especially powerful when combining multiple timeframes — for example, using the 1H and 15M charts to define trend alignment, and then executing entries on lower timeframes in the direction of that flow.
Note: Entry setups are defined by each trader’s individual system.
This indicator does not provide entry points — it highlights multi-timeframe alignment and directional bias.

CapitalFlowResearch: N-ATRCapitalFlowsResearch: N-ATR — Normalised Volatility Regime Indicator
CapitalFlowsResearch: N-ATR transforms ATR into a normalised, directional volatility signal that oscillates within a fixed range. Instead of treating ATR as an absolute number—which varies widely across assets and market regimes—the tool rescales volatility into a consistent framework, allowing traders to compare conditions across instruments and timeframes without recalibrating settings.
The indicator identifies two core attributes simultaneously:
Volatility level relative to its recent environment
By normalising ATR, the script shows whether current volatility is high or low relative to its own historical context, not in arbitrary terms.
The direction of volatility pressure
A smoothing layer helps determine whether volatility is rising or falling, enabling a four-state volatility map (high → rising, high → falling, low → rising, low → falling).
These states are displayed via subtle background shading, giving a clear view of shifts in volatility regime without cluttering the chart.
A color-coded line plots the smoothed volatility signal itself, making transitions easy to spot and track over time.
Together, these features turn N-ATR into an effective volatility-regime compass—highlighting periods of compression, expansion, and volatility trend changes that often precede important market behaviour—while preserving the confidentiality of the underlying calculations.
CapitalFlowsResearch: Vol RangesCapitalFlowsResearch: Vol Ranges — Multi-Timeframe ATR Expansion Map
CapitalFlowsResearch: Vol Ranges creates a structured volatility “roadmap” by projecting expected price extensions across multiple timeframes using ATR-based ranges. Instead of relying on a single ATR reading, the tool pulls in higher-timeframe volatility measures—such as daily and monthly expansions—and uses them to build a set of reference levels that anchor the current market against where it should trade under normal volatility conditions.
The script does two things simultaneously:
Projects volatility-derived target bands
It computes a set of upper and lower expansion levels (e.g., +100%, +50%, –50%, –100%) around prior closing levels on different timeframes. These levels act as structural markers for expected movement, allowing traders to quickly recognise when price is behaving within typical bounds or pressing into statistically stretched territory.
Displays a live dashboard for interpretation
A fully configurable on-chart table displays:
Recent volatility readings
Today's reference ranges
Distance from current price to each expansion level
Whether today's movement is expanding or contracting relative to prior volatility
This gives traders a compact situational summary without cluttering the price chart.
Optional high-timeframe projection lines can also be plotted directly on the chart, updating once per new day or new month, making it easy to visually align intraday price action with broader volatility structure.
In practical terms, Vol Ranges functions as a multi-timeframe volatility compass—highlighting when markets are trading inside normal ranges, when they are beginning to stretch, and when they may be entering conditions supportive of momentum or reversal behaviour. All core mechanics remain abstracted, preserving the proprietary nature of the volatility framework.
NYAM Trend PullbackThis is an trend-following strategy designed for trades taken during New York Morning. It aims to capture trend continuations by entering positions when price aligns with the dominant trend relative to a Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
If price is above the EMA then it is bullish and enters long, and if its below the EMA it is bearish and enters a short.

Pro Bollinger Bands Strategy [Breno]This strategy excels in highly volatile financial instruments, including cryptocurrencies, high-beta stocks, commodity futures, and certain exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that exhibit clear mean-reversion characteristics around their Bollinger Bands. The system's ability to utilize scaling (position averaging) and an ATR-based stop loss makes it particularly effective in markets with significant price swings, allowing the trader to capture profits from price extremes while managing increased volatility-related risk.
Core Strategy Logic
This Strategy implements a comprehensive trend-following and mean-reversion strategy primarily leveraging the Bollinger Bands (BB) indicator for entry and exit signals, complemented by an Average True Range (ATR)-based Stop Loss mechanism and an optional EMA filter. It is designed with robust features for capital management, including configurable leverage and a sophisticated position averaging (scaling) system.
Long Entry: A long position is initiated when the closing price crosses over the Lower Bollinger Band (ta.crossover(close,lowerBB)). This signals a potential mean-reversion opportunity following a price dip.
Short Entry: A short position is initiated when the closing price crosses under the Upper Bollinger Band (ta.crossunder(close,upperBB)). (Note: Short entries are disabled by default in the script inputs).
Exit Conditions (Profit Target): Long positions aim to exit upon interaction with the Upper Bollinger Band. Users can select from three exit methods:
"Close When Touch": Exits when close≥upperBB.
"Close Above then Below": Exits when the previous close was above the upper band, and the current close is below it (a reversal signal).
"High Above": Exits when high>upperBB. The strategy features an optional profitOnly setting, which restricts all exits to only occur if the trade is currently in profit (i.e., close is above the strategy.position_avg_price for longs).
Key Features and Customization
Bollinger Bands & Filters -
Customizable BB Parameters: The Length and Deviation of the Bollinger Bands are fully adjustable, allowing users to fine-tune the sensitivity of the entry and exit signals.
Optional EMA Filter: An optional EMA Filter can be enabled to align entries with the prevailing trend, where a Long entry is only permitted if close≥EMA(EmaFilterRange).
Risk and Capital Management -
Equity Allocation: Position size is dynamically calculated based on a Percentage of Equity (capitalPerc) combined with the set Leverage multiplier.
Dynamic Stop Loss (ATR-Based):
An optional Stop Loss (SL) is calculated using a multiple (slAtrInput) of the Average True Range (ATR).
The SL is set relative to the entry price upon trade activation, providing a volatility-adjusted risk management layer.
Position Averaging (Scaling): The script supports the addition of multiple units (pyramiding) to an existing position based on three user-selected criteria:
"No": No averaging.
"Percent": Adds to the position if the price has dropped by a set percentage (addPct) from the average price.
"ATR": Adds to the position if the current price is significantly below a calculated ATR-based support level from the average price.
PDH/PDL Sweep & Rejection - sudoPDH/PDL Sweep + Rejection
This indicator identifies classic liquidity sweeps of the previous day's high or low, then confirms whether price rejected that level with force. It is built to highlight moments when the market takes liquidity and immediately snaps back in the opposite direction, a behavior often linked to failed breakouts, engineered stops, or clean reversals. The tool marks these events directly on the chart so you can see them without manually watching the daily levels.
What it detects
The indicator focuses on two events:
PDH sweep and rejection
Price breaks above the previous day's high, overshoots the level by a meaningful amount, and then closes back below the high.
PDL sweep and rejection
Price breaks below the previous day's low, overshoots, and then closes back above the low.
These are structural liquidity events, not random wicks. The script checks for enough overshoot and strong bar range to confirm it was a genuine stop grab rather than noise.
How it works
The indicator evaluates each bar using the following logic:
1. Previous day levels
It pulls yesterday's high and low directly from the daily timeframe. These act as the PDH and PDL reference points for intraday trading.
2. Overshoot measurement
After breaking the level, price must push far enough beyond it to qualify as a sweep. Instead of using arbitrary pips, the required overshoot is scaled relative to ATR. This keeps the logic stable across different assets and volatility conditions.
3. Range confirmation
The bar must be larger than normal compared to ATR. This ensures the sweep happened with momentum and not because of small, choppy price movement.
4. Rejection close
A valid signal only prints if price closes back inside the previous day's range.
For a PDH sweep, the bar must close below PDH.
For a PDL sweep, the bar must close above PDL.
This confirms a failed breakout and a rejection.
What gets placed on the chart
Red downward triangle above the bar: Previous Day High sweep and rejection
Lime upward triangle below the bar: Previous Day Low sweep and rejection
The markers appear exactly on the bar where the sweep and rejection occurred.
How traders can use this
Identify potential reversals
Sweeps often occur when algorithms target liquidity pools. When followed by a strong rejection, the market may be preparing for a reversal or rotation.
Avoid chasing breakouts
A clear sweep warns that a breakout attempt failed. This can prevent traders from entering at the worst possible location.
Time entries at extremes
The markers help you see where the market grabbed stops and immediately turned. These areas can become high quality entry zones in both trend continuation and countertrend setups.
Support liquidity based models
The indicator aligns naturally with trading frameworks that consider liquidity, displacement, failed breaks, and microstructure shifts.
Add confidence to confluence-based setups
Combine sweeps with displacement, FVGs, or higher timeframe levels to refine entry timing.
Why this indicator is helpful
It automates a pattern that traders often identify manually. Sweeps are easy to miss in fast markets, and this tool eliminates the need to constantly monitor daily levels. By marking only the events that show overshoot plus rejection plus significant range, it filters out the weak or false signals and leaves only meaningful liquidity events.
Displacement Pulse Markers - sudoThis indicator is designed to highlight sudden and meaningful bursts of price movement. These bursts are called displacement pulses. A pulse appears when price expands with force, closes near the extreme of its own bar, and breaks through a recent structural level. The indicator places small circles above or below the candle to signal these moments so that traders can quickly spot abnormal movement and potential shifts in market intent.
How it works
The indicator evaluates each bar for three conditions:
Range expansion relative to volatility
The bar must be larger than normal. It compares the bar range to ATR and requires that range to exceed a multiple of ATR. When this condition is met, the bar is considered a large or forceful bar.
Close location within the bar
The bar has to close near its own high or low. A close near the top suggests strong buying force. A close near the bottom suggests strong selling force. The user can adjust what percentage qualifies as near the top or bottom.
Break of recent structure
The bar must break a recent pivot level. For bullish pulses, the high of the bar must exceed the highest high of the past N bars. For bearish pulses, the low must break the lowest low of the past N bars. This confirms that the move did not merely expand but actually displaced prior structure.
When all conditions align
A bullish displacement pulse is marked with a small aqua circle below the bar.
A bearish displacement pulse is marked with a fuchsia circle above the bar.
The result is a clean on chart visualization of where price produced meaningful displacement.
How traders can use this
Spot abnormal momentum
Pulses can highlight areas where price behaves with more force than usual. These events often appear around news, liquidity sweeps, or algorithmic shifts.
Identify possible regime changes
A pulse that breaks structure while closing near the extreme may signal a transition from a ranging environment to a trending one. It does not predict direction but flags where displacement actually occurred.
Support narrative building
When combined with levels, zones, or other frameworks, pulses can confirm whether the market had enough strength to break through an area with conviction.
Filter trades or refine entries
Some traders may choose to trade in the direction of recent pulses during trending conditions. Others may only enter a trade after a pulse confirms that the market has shifted away from compression.
Track where the market is imbalanced
A pulse visually marks whether buyers or sellers were able to generate strong initiative movement. These points often become useful reference zones for continuation or rejection analysis.
Why this indicator is useful
It reduces complex logic into simple visual markers. Instead of scanning bar by bar for structural breaks, volatility expansions, and close strength, the indicator does this automatically and highlights only the bars that meet all criteria. This keeps the chart clean while still providing precision about where displacement actually occurred.
OTA ATR Stop BufferOTA ATR indicator calculates and displays the Daily Average True Range (ATR), and two customizable ATR percentage values in a clean table format. It provides values in ticks and points, helping traders set stop-loss buffers based on market volatility.
