Support and Resistance Support & Resistance Zones This indicator automatically identifies support and resistance zones by clustering confirmed pivot highs and lows into statistically valid price areas. Instead of drawing single horizontal lines, it creates price zones whose width is dynamically controlled using ATR (Average True Range), allowing the zones to adapt to market volatility. Core Logic The indicator scans a user-defined number of historical bars and detects pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable pivot strength. Each new pivot is evaluated against previously detected zones: A zone becomes visible only after receiving sufficient confirmation (minimum number of pivot touches). This ensures that only structurally meaningful levels are drawn. Zone Construction Rules Zones are formed by grouping pivot points whose total price range remains within ATR range Each zone expands dynamically as new pivots confirm it Zones are drawn as rectangular areas, not lines Zones extend to the right, remaining active until price structure changes This approach avoids over-plotting and reduces noise commonly seen in traditional support/resistance tools. Dynamic Zone Coloring Zones automatically change color based on current price position: Support Color → Price is above the zone Resistance Color → Price is below the zone Neutral (In-Zone) Color → Price is trading inside the zone This makes it easy to visually assess market context without additional indicators. Inputs Explained Logic Settings Bars to Apply Number of historical bars scanned to detect pivots and construct zones. Pivot Strength Number of candles required on both sides of a pivot high/low for confirmation. Min Pivot Confirmation Minimum number of aligned pivots required before a zone is drawn. Styling Support, resistance, and in-zone colors Zone fill transparency Why This Approach Uses price structure, not arbitrary levels Adapts to market volatility via ATR Filters out weak, single-touch levels Works across all markets and timeframes This indicator is designed to highlight areas of interest, not generate buy or sell signals. It is best used in combination with trend, momentum, or volume-based tools.

Trend Pulse Channel Strategy Overview Trend Pulse Channel Strategy is a long-only trend-following breakout strategy built around an adaptive multi-pole smoothing filter and a volatility-adjusted price channel. The strategy is designed to participate in sustained directional moves by entering only when price confirms momentum strength beyond a dynamic upper boundary, while avoiding mean-reversion and low-quality consolidation phases. This script is published as a strategy and includes realistic backtesting assumptions for position sizing, commissions, and slippage. Core Concept At the heart of the strategy is a multi-pole adaptive EMA-based filter, inspired by advanced digital signal smoothing techniques. Using multiple poles allows the filter to reduce noise while preserving responsiveness to genuine trend changes. To adapt the channel width to changing market conditions, the strategy applies the same filtering logic to True Range, producing a volatility-aware envelope rather than a static or fixed-percentage band. This combination allows the strategy to: Track directional bias using a smoothed central filter Adjust channel width dynamically based on market volatility Trigger entries only when price expansion confirms trend strength Entry Logic A long position is opened when: Price crosses above the upper channel band The signal occurs within the user-defined date range This condition represents a volatility-confirmed breakout aligned with the prevailing directional filter. Exit Logic The long position is closed when: Price crosses back below the upper band This exit logic aims to stay in trending moves while exiting when upside momentum weakens. The strategy does not open short positions by design. Inputs and Defaults The default inputs are selected to balance smoothness, responsiveness, and stability: Source (HLC3): Reduces single-price noise by averaging high, low, and close Period (144): Defines the primary smoothing horizon of the adaptive filter Poles (4): Controls the smoothness vs. responsiveness trade-off Range Multiplier (1.414): Scales the volatility envelope using filtered True Range Reduced Lag (optional): Applies lag compensation to improve responsiveness Fast Response (optional): Blends multi-pole and single-pole filters for quicker reaction at the cost of smoothness All inputs are fully configurable and can be adjusted to suit different instruments and timeframes. Risk Management & Position Sizing The strategy uses: Position size: 10% of equity per trade No pyramiding Long positions only This sizing approach is intended to reflect sustainable risk exposure rather than aggressive capital deployment. Users may further adjust position size based on their own risk tolerance. Backtesting Assumptions The strategy is tested using : Initial capital: 10,000 Commission: 0.1% Slippage: 1 tick Order fill model: Standard OHLC These settings are chosen to provide more realistic performance estimates compared to idealized backtests. This strategy is best suited for : Trend-oriented markets Higher timeframes where breakouts are more reliable Users seeking systematic trend participation rather than frequent scalping In sideways or range-bound market conditions, price may cross the channel boundaries frequently. This can result in a higher number of entry and exit signals that do not develop into sustained trends. For this reason, the strategy should be used with an understanding of basic technical analysis concepts, including market structure, trend identification, and consolidation behavior. It is intended as a decision-support tool, not a standalone trading system. Users—whether beginners or experienced traders—should avoid relying solely on this strategy and are encouraged to combine it with broader market context and additional analysis methods.

Structure Lite - Automatic Major Trend Lines Structure Lite – Pivot-Based Market Structure Visualization OVERVIEW Structure Lite is an open-source charting tool designed to assist traders in visualizing higher-timeframe market structure. The script identifies major swing points using high-period pivot analysis and projects structural support and resistance lines directly on the chart. Its purpose is to highlight persistent market structure while minimizing visual noise. CORE CONCEPTS & CALCULATIONS Pivot Identification The script uses Pine Script’s built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to identify confirmed swing highs and lows. A pivot is only validated after a user-defined number of bars (Major Pivot Lookback) have formed on both sides of the price extreme, ensuring that only structurally significant pivots are selected. Structural Pairing Each structural line is created only after two consecutive pivots of the same type are confirmed (high-to-high or low-to-low). The script stores the price and bar index of these pivots and uses them as fixed anchor points. Line Projection Once a valid pivot pair is formed, the script draws a line between the two points using line.new() and extends it forward using extend.right. These lines represent projected structural boundaries rather than trade signals. Object Management To maintain chart clarity and performance, the script manages all drawn objects through a line array. A FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is applied so that only the three most recent structural lines remain visible. Older lines are automatically deleted as new ones are created. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY & ORIGINALITY While many indicators plot frequent swing points or short-term pivots, Structure Lite focuses on structural persistence. By filtering for higher-period pivots and limiting the number of displayed projections, the script emphasizes dominant market structure rather than short-term fluctuations. This approach is intended to support discretionary analysis, not replace it. HOW TO USE Major Pivot Lookback Increase the value to focus on higher-timeframe structure (e.g., swing or position trading). Decrease the value to visualize intraday structural levels. Visual Encoding Green lines represent projected structural support Red lines represent projected structural resistance Visibility Control A boolean input allows all structure lines to be hidden instantly to restore a clean price chart. LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMER This script is a visualization tool only. It does not generate trade signals, entry or exit points, alerts, or directional forecasts. All plotted levels are derived from historical price action and may change as new pivots form. The script is provided for educational and analytical purposes and should be used in conjunction with other forms of market analysis

Liquidity Sweep Guardian (Universal % or point based) Liquidity Sweep Guardian - Complete User Guide ## Overview The **Liquidity Sweep Guardian** is a visual warning system designed to prevent premature counter-trend trades (fades) near Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) levels. This indicator helps you avoid one of the most common trading mistakes: fading too early before liquidity sweeps complete. --- ## 🎯 Core Trading Principle ### **THE GOLDEN RULE: Don't Fade Until It's Unlocked** Price often **accelerates into key levels** to sweep liquidity before reversing. Trading against this momentum is extremely dangerous. **The Process:** 1. **Danger Zone** (Red/White Box) = ⚠️ **DO NOT FADE** - Sweep likely incoming 2. **Sweep Occurs** (Triangle marker appears) = Price penetrates the level 3. **Reclaim Happens** (Price returns above/below level) = Level is tested 4. **🔓 UNLOCKED** (Gold border, green label) = **NOW you may CONSIDER a fade** > **Important:** "UNLOCKED" means you may now *consider* a fade setup. It is NOT a trade signal itself. You still need your entry confirmation, risk management, and trade plan. --- ## 📊 Visual Elements Explained ### 1. **Danger Zone Boxes (Red Border by Default)** **Two types of zones around PDH/PDL:** - **Outer Danger Zone** (White fill): ±75pts (or 0.30%) around the level - Indicates proximity to a key level where sweeps commonly occur - Yellow/cautious trading zone - **Inner Critical Zone** (Black fill): ±25pts (or 0.10%) around the level - Highest probability area for liquidity sweep traps - Avoid fading here at all costs **What to do:** - When price enters these zones, **wait and watch** - Do not initiate counter-trend positions - Allow the sweep to play out ### 2. **Unlocked Zones (Gold Border #ffeb3b)** When a zone turns **gold/yellow** with green fill: - The level has been swept AND reclaimed - The liquidity grab is complete - You may now look for fade opportunities with proper confirmation ### 3. **PDH/PDL Lines** - **PDH Line** (Red): Previous Day High with price label - **PDL Line** (Green): Previous Day Low with price label - These are your key reference levels for the session ### 4. **Sweep Labels** **Triangle Markers (SWEEP):** - **Green Triangle** = Clean sweep (10-25pts penetration) - **Orange Triangle** = Extended sweep (25-50pts penetration) - **Red Triangle** = Deep penetration (50+ pts) - likely continuation, not reversal **Warning Labels:** - **⚠️ DEEP CONTINUATION?** = Penetration too deep, probably NOT a reversal setup **Unlock Labels:** - **🔓 LONG UNLOCKED** = PDL swept and reclaimed, may consider long fades - **🔓 SHORT UNLOCKED** = PDH swept and reclaimed, may consider short fades --- ## ⚙️ Settings Guide ### **Calculation Mode** **Use Percentage Mode (Default: ON)** - ✅ **Enabled**: Universal mode - works on NQ, ES, RTY, stocks, crypto, forex - ❌ **Disabled**: Fixed points mode - for specific instruments only **When to use each:** - **Percentage Mode**: Trading multiple instruments, or instruments with varying price levels - **Fixed Points Mode**: Single instrument focus (e.g., only trading NQ at current levels) ### **Danger Zone Settings** **Percentage Mode (Default for Universal Use):** - **Danger Zone**: 0.30% each side (≈75pts on NQ@25,000) - **Critical Zone**: 0.10% each side (≈25pts on NQ@25,000) **Fixed Points Mode (For NQ Specifically):** - **Danger Zone**: 75 points each side - **Critical Zone**: 25 points each side **Adjustment Tips:** - For more volatile instruments: Increase percentages/points - For less volatile instruments: Decrease percentages/points - For higher timeframes: Use wider zones - For lower timeframes: Use tighter zones ### **Sweep Classification** **What defines a "real" sweep:** - **Minimum**: 10pts / 0.04% - Shallow penetration may not grab enough liquidity - **Optimal**: 10-25pts / 0.04-0.10% - "Goldilocks zone" for reversal setups - **Extended**: 25-50pts / 0.10-0.20% - Deeper sweep, less reliable - **Continuation**: 50+pts / 0.20%+ - Too deep, likely NOT reversing **Max Bars for Reclaim**: 5 bars (default) - Price should reclaim the level relatively quickly - If it takes too long, the sweep may have failed ### **Visual Customization** **Box Settings:** - **Left Extension**: 60 bars (how far back the box extends) - **Right Extension**: 50 bars (how far forward the box extends) **Toggle Options:** - Show/Hide Danger Zone Boxes - Show/Hide PDH/PDL Lines - Show/Hide Price Labels on lines - Show/Hide Sweep Labels - Show/Hide Unlock Labels ### **Color Customization** All colors are fully customizable: - Danger Zone Fill & Border - Critical Zone Fill & Border - Unlocked Zone Fill & Border - PDH/PDL Line Colors - PDH/PDL Label Colors - Border Widths (1-5 pixels) - Line Widths (1-5 pixels) --- ## 🎓 Trading Strategy Examples ### **Example 1: Long Setup at PDL** 1. **Morning**: Price approaches PDL (danger zone appears) 2. **Don't Fade Yet**: Price enters critical zone - resist urge to buy 3. **Sweep**: Price drops 15pts below PDL (green triangle appears) 4. **Reclaim**: Price closes back above PDL within 3 bars 5. **🔓 UNLOCKED**: Gold border + "LONG UNLOCKED" label appears 6. **Trade Setup**: Now look for bullish confirmation (order flow, structure, etc.) ### **Example 2: Avoiding a Trap at PDH** 1. **Afternoon**: Price rallies into PDH danger zone 2. **Temptation**: You want to short here (it "looks toppy") 3. **Sweep**: Price breaks 50pts above PDH (red triangle + ⚠️ warning) 4. **Continuation**: Deep penetration suggests continuation, not reversal 5. **Result**: No unlock occurs, price keeps running higher - trap avoided! ### **Example 3: Failed Unlock (No Trade)** 1. Price sweeps PDL by 12pts (green triangle) 2. Price struggles to reclaim PDL, stays below for 10+ bars 3. No "UNLOCKED" label appears 4. **Correct Action**: Do not fade - sweep failed to reclaim --- ## 📱 Alerts The indicator includes built-in alerts for: - **Entering Danger Zones**: Get warned when price approaches PDH/PDL - **Sweep Detection**: Know immediately when a level is swept - **Unlock Signals**: Get notified when fade setups become available - **Continuation Warnings**: Alert when penetration suggests continuation **To Set Alerts:** 1. Right-click indicator → "Add Alert" 2. Select desired alert condition 3. Configure notification preferences --- ## ⚠️ Important Disclaimers ### **What This Indicator IS:** ✅ A visual warning system to prevent premature fades ✅ A tool to identify when liquidity sweeps have completed ✅ A framework for counter-trend trade timing ### **What This Indicator IS NOT:** ❌ A complete trading system ❌ An entry signal generator ❌ A guarantee of trade success ❌ A substitute for proper risk management ### **Always Remember:** - "UNLOCKED" = You may CONSIDER a fade (not a signal to trade) - You still need your own entry confirmation - You still need proper stop placement - You still need position sizing and risk management - Not every unlock leads to a successful trade - Market context and order flow still matter --- ## 🔧 Recommended Settings by Instrument ### **NQ (Nasdaq-100 E-mini Futures)** - Mode: Percentage or Fixed Points - Percentage: 0.30% / 0.10% (default) - Fixed Points: 75pts / 25pts (default) ### **ES (S&P 500 E-mini Futures)** - Mode: Percentage - Danger: 0.25% / Critical: 0.08% - Or Fixed Points: 15pts / 5pts ### **RTY (Russell 2000 E-mini Futures)** - Mode: Percentage - Danger: 0.35% / Critical: 0.12% - Or Fixed Points: 8pts / 3pts ### **Stocks (High Volume Large Caps)** - Mode: Percentage (recommended) - Danger: 0.20-0.40% / Critical: 0.08-0.15% - Adjust based on ATR and volatility ### **Crypto (BTC, ETH)** - Mode: Percentage (essential) - Danger: 0.40-0.60% / Critical: 0.15-0.20% - Higher volatility requires wider zones --- ## 💡 Pro Tips 1. **Use on Higher Timeframes**: Works best on 5min, 15min, 1hr charts 2. **Combine with Order Flow**: Use with footprint/delta for confirmation 3. **Watch Volume**: Strong volume on sweep = better reversal potential 4. **Consider Time of Day**: Sweeps during RTH often more reliable 5. **Multiple Timeframes**: Check if higher TF also shows unlock 6. **Don't Force Trades**: Not every session produces clean setups 7. **Journal Results**: Track which unlock types work best for you 8. **Respect Continuation Signals**: When indicator says "too deep," listen --- ## 🆘 Troubleshooting **Q: Box isn't showing up** A: Check that "Show Danger Zone Boxes" is enabled in Visual Settings **Q: No price on labels** A: Enable "Show Price Labels on Lines" in Visual Settings **Q: Zones seem too tight/wide** A: Adjust Danger Zone % or points based on current volatility **Q: Getting too many/too few unlocks** A: Adjust sweep classification thresholds (min/max penetration) **Q: Want thicker/thinner lines** A: Adjust line widths in "PDH/PDL Line Colors" section **Q: Colors not matching my chart theme** A: Fully customize all colors in the color settings groups --- ## 📚 Additional Resources - Study price action around PDH/PDL on your instruments - Learn about liquidity sweeps and stop hunts - Understand market structure and order flow - Practice identifying setups on replay/historical data - Keep a trading journal of unlock scenarios --- *Remember: The best trade is often the one you don't take.

9 EMA Trend-Flow Strategy This strategy avoids trading inside the noise and waits for Bitcoin to "coil up" before exploding. 1. Chart Setup Timeframe: 5 Minutes Bollinger Bands: Length 20, Standard Deviation 2 (Default). RSI (Relative Strength Index): Length 14. EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Length 200 (Trend Filter). 2. The Rules Long Setup (Buy) The Trend Filter: Price must be above the 200 EMA. The Squeeze: The Bollinger Bands must visually contract (narrow), indicating volatility is dying down. The Trigger: A 5m candle closes strongly above the Upper Bollinger Band. Confirmation: RSI must be rising and above 50 (but ideally not yet "pegged" at 90+). Short Setup (Sell) The Trend Filter: Price must be below the 200 EMA. The Squeeze: The Bollinger Bands contract. The Trigger: A 5m candle closes strongly below the Lower Bollinger Band. Confirmation: RSI must be falling and below 50. Execution Guide Entry Technique Don't enter immediately when the candle touches the band. Wait for the candle close. Why? Bitcoin frequently "wicks" through bands to trap traders (fakeouts) before reversing. A solid close outside the band confirms momentum. Exit Strategy (Take Profit) Target 1 (Conservative): Close 50% of the position when price expands to a fixed risk-reward ratio (e.g., 1.5R). Target 2 (Runner): Keep the remaining position open as long as price "walks the band" (stays outside or touching the outer band). Close the rest when a candle finally closes back inside the Bollinger Bands. Stop Loss Placement: Place your Stop Loss (SL) slightly below the Middle Band (the 20 SMA) at the time of entry. Trailing: As the price moves in your favor, move your SL to trail the Middle Band.

Cave Diving 3 Lines System 🤿 Cave Diving Dashboard - A Deep Dive into Market Structure ## The Cave Diving Analogy Imagine you're a cave diver exploring underwater caverns. As you descend deeper, you encounter different layers of the cave system: - **The Surface (Internal Levels)** - Where you currently are, constantly shifting with each breath - **The First Chamber (De Novo Levels)** - Your last known safe position, recently established - **Deep Caverns (External Levels)** - Ancient, untouched chambers deeper in the system Just as a cave diver must constantly monitor their position relative to these reference points, traders must track price action against key structural levels. --- ## 🎯 Understanding the Three-Tiered System ### 📍 **INTERNAL LEVELS** (Current 15m Candle) *Your real-time position in the market* **Internal High** 🟡 - The highest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle **Internal Low** 🟢 - The lowest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle **Think of these as:** - Your current depth while actively diving - They update continuously as price moves - Status shows "Updating" when actively changing, "Intact" when stable - These are NOT trade levels—they're awareness zones **Key Insight:** When Internal Low drops below De Novo Low, you're in **Situation A** (bearish pressure building)—the indicator highlights this with red coloring. --- ### 🎯 **DE NOVO LEVELS** (Previous Closed 15m Candle) *Your most recent confirmed safe zone* **De Novo High** 🔵 - The high of the last completed 15-minute candle **De Novo Low** 🟣 - The low of the last completed 15-minute candle **Etymology:** "De Novo" = Latin for "from new" or "anew"—these are freshly established reference points **Think of these as:** - The last solid ground you stood on - Your most recent confirmed position - The bridge between where you are (Internal) and where you've been (External) **Status Tracking:** - **⬆️ Upgrade** - Level moved favorably (Higher high for resistance, Higher low for support) - **⬇️ Downgrade** - Level moved unfavorably (Lower high, Lower low) - **＝ Same** - No structural change from previous candle **Trading Significance:** - Primary reference points for intraday structure - Breaking De Novo levels often signals directional commitment - Can merge with External Level 1 when they align (shown as "DN🟰Ext1") --- ### ⛽🤿 **EXTERNAL LEVELS** (Unmitigated Historical 15m Levels) *Deep liquidity pools waiting to be discovered* **External High 1 & 2** 🟢🔵 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m highs **External Low 1 & 2** 🟠🌸 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m lows **Think of these as:** - Untouched chambers in the cave system - Liquidity pools that smart money is targeting - Levels that "remember" and attract price **What Makes a Level "Unmitigated"?** - **Highs**: Price has NOT yet traded through them (broken above) - **Lows**: Price has NOT yet swept them (broken below) - Once touched, they're "mitigated" and removed from tracking - The indicator automatically maintains the two most recent unmitigated levels **Why "External"?** They exist outside your current candle structure—historical reference points that institutions use for: - Stop loss placement - Profit taking targets - Liquidity hunting zones --- ## 🎨 Color Coding System ### HIGHS (Resistance/Targets) - Cool Colors - 🔵 **Ext High 2** - Light Blue (Distant target) - 🟢 **Ext High 1** - Lime Green (Primary target) - 🔵 **De Novo High** - Cyan (Recent resistance) - 🟡 **Internal High** - Lemon Yellow (Current ceiling) ### LOWS (Support/Stops) - Warm Colors - 🟢 **Internal Low** - Lime (Current floor) - 🟣 **De Novo Low** - Purple (Recent support) - 🟠 **Ext Low 1** - Orange-Red (Primary stop zone) - 🌸 **Ext Low 2** - Pink (Distant support) --- ## 📊 Dashboard Breakdown ### The Table Shows: 1. **Level** - Which level you're tracking 2. **Price** - Exact price of the level 3. **Pts** - Distance from current price (+ above, - below) 4. **Status** - Current state or role of the level ### Special Features: - **⏰ Countdown Timer** - Shows time remaining until next 15m candle close (next De Novo update) - **⚠️ Proximity Alerts** - Bottom row warns when within threshold distance of key levels (default: 25 points, adjustable) --- ## 🎯 Trading Applications ### **For Buyers (Going Long):** - **Entry Zone**: Between De Novo Low and Ext Low 1 - **Stops**: Below Ext Low 1 (or Ext Low 2 for wider stops) - **Targets**: De Novo High → Ext High 1 → Ext High 2 - **Confirmation**: Internal Low holds above De Novo Low ### **For Sellers (Going Short):** - **Entry Zone**: Between De Novo High and Ext High 1 - **Stops**: Above Ext High 1 (or Ext High 2 for wider stops) - **Targets**: De Novo Low → Ext Low 1 → Ext Low 2 - **Warning**: Watch for Situation A (Internal Low < De Novo Low) ### **Risk Management:** - **DN🟰Ext1** status means De Novo = External 1 (tighter range, use caution) - Proximity alerts help you avoid chasing price into resistance/support - "Updating" status on Internal levels = active volatility - "Upgrade/Downgrade" signals = structural shift in progress --- ## ⚙️ Customization Options ### Lookback Period - Default: 500 candles (searches 125 hours of 15m data) - Increase for more historical External levels - Decrease for focus on recent structure ### Proximity Threshold - Default: 25 points - Set based on your instrument's average range - Lower = tighter alerts (for scalping) - Higher = strategic warnings (for swing trading) ### Visual Customization - Line thickness (1-5) - Line style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) - All colors fully customizable - Show/hide lines independently --- ## 🧭 The Cave Diving Mindset **Never dive deeper than you can safely return from.** In trading terms: - Know your Internal position (real-time awareness) - Respect your De Novo levels (recent structure) - Hunt for External liquidity (where the targets are) - Always have an exit plan (stops below Ext Lows, above Ext Highs) The market, like a cave, has structure. This indicator illuminates that structure across three timeframes of reference, helping you navigate with precision rather than guessing in the dark. --- ## 🎓 Key Takeaways 1. **Internal** = Real-time, unfinished, awareness only 2. **De Novo** = Just confirmed, primary reference, updates every 15m 3. **External** = Historical, unmitigated, high-probability targets/stops 4. **Upgrades/Downgrades** = Trend signals 5. **DN🟰Ext1** = Structural alignment (tighter range) 6. **Situation A** = Bearish warning (Internal < De Novo Low) --- ## 📝 Credits *"In cave diving, you plan your dive and dive your plan. In trading, you plan your levels and trade your levels."* **Indicator:** Cave Diving Dashboard - Part 1: Price Levels **Timeframe:** Optimized for 15-minute structure on any chart timeframe **Philosophy:** Structure first, price second. Know where you are, where you've been, and where the liquidity waits. --- Happy Diving! 🤿📈

HPDR Bands with projection HPDR: Historical Price Delta Range What is it? The HPDR indicator measures how much an asset’s price typically changes over a specific timeframe. It looks at historical price movements ("deltas") and organizes them into percentiles. These are then plotted on your chart as a median line surrounded by statistical bands. This tool helps you understand an asset’s unique character and its typical price deviations. Because the median is in this context a statistically relative stable value(if you add 7 values to 1000 it doesn't change much), it allows for high-probability projections of the future median. For a clearer understanding of the indicator's logic, try setting the Range to 7 and the Offset to -7. The 50% percentile Band signifies that in 50% of all bars, the price remained within this statistical range.

Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot --- ## 📖 Table of Contents 1. (#what-this-indicator-does) 2. (#core-concepts) 3. (#visual-components) 4. (#the-cave-diving-framework) 5. (#how-to-use-it-for-trading) 6. (#settings--customization) 7. (#best-practices) 8. (#common-scenarios) --- ## What This Indicator Does The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*. ### Why "Unmitigated" Matters In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in: - **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels - **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support - **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels - **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster --- ## Core Concepts ### 1. **Sessions & Age** The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity. **Age Categories:** - 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed - 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance - 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days - 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones. ### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking** You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart. **Why this matters:** - Higher timeframe levels have more weight - You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously - Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum ### 3. **Mitigation** A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it: - **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them - **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter. --- ## Visual Components ### 📊 The Dashboard Table Located in the corner of your chart (configurable), the table shows: ``` ┌─────────┬───────────┬────────┬─────┬───────┐ │ Level │ Price │ Points │ Age │ % │ ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↑↑↑↑↑ │ 21,450.25 │ +45.50 │ 8 │ +0.21%│ ← 5th High (Ancient) │ ↑↑↑↑ │ 21,430.00 │ +25.25 │ 5 │ +0.12%│ ← 4th High (Old) │ ↑↑↑ │ 21,420.50 │ +15.75 │ 3 │ +0.07%│ ← 3rd High (Medium) │ ↑↑ │ 21,412.00 │ +7.25 │ 1 │ +0.03%│ ← 2nd High (New) │ ↑ ⚠️ │ 21,408.25 │ +3.50 │ 0 │ +0.02%│ ← 1st High (Proximity Alert!) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 15 mins │ 🟢 │ Δ 8.75 │ 2U │ │ ← Status Row ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↓ ⚠️ │ 21,399.50 │ -5.25 │ 0 │ -0.02%│ ← 1st Low (Proximity Alert!) │ ↓↓ │ 21,395.00 │ -9.75 │ 2 │ -0.05%│ ← 2nd Low (Medium) │ ↓↓↓ │ 21,385.25 │ -19.50 │ 4 │ -0.09%│ ← 3rd Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓ │ 21,370.00 │ -34.75 │ 6 │ -0.16%│ ← 4th Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓↓ │ 21,350.75 │ -54.00 │ 9 │ -0.25%│ ← 5th Low (Ancient) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 📊 15↑ / 12↓ │ ← Statistics (optional) └─────────┴───────────┴────────┴─────┴───────┘ ``` **Reading the Table:** - **Level Column**: Number of arrows indicates position (1-5), color shows age - **Price**: The actual price level - **Points**: Distance from current price (+ for highs, - for lows) - **Age**: Number of full sessions since creation - **%**: Percentage distance from current price - **⚠️**: Proximity alert - price is within threshold distance - **Status Row**: Shows timeframe, direction (🟢 bullish/🔴 bearish), tunnel width (Δ), and Strat pattern ### 📈 Visual Elements on Chart **1. Level Lines** - Horizontal lines showing each unmitigated level - **Color-coded by age**: Bright colors = new, darker = older, deep purple/teal = ancient - **Line style**: Customizable (solid, dashed, dotted) - Automatically turn **yellow** when price gets close (proximity alert) **2. Price Labels** - Show the exact price and age: "21,450.25 (8d)" - Fixed at small size for clean readability - Positioned with configurable offset from current bar **3. Bands (Optional)** - Shaded zones between pairs of unmitigated levels - Default: Between 1st and 2nd levels (the "tunnel") - Can switch to 1st-3rd, 2nd-3rd, or disable entirely - **Upper band** (pink/maroon) - Between unmitigated highs - **Lower band** (blue/teal) - Between unmitigated lows - These represent the "no man's land" or consolidation zones --- ## The Cave Diving Framework This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management. ### 🤿 The Core Metaphor **Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.** #### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions) - **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows) - **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested - **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned - **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit #### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions) - **Light**: Medium intensity colors - **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming - **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back #### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions) - **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue) - **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance - **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required #### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions) - **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal - **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones - **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error ### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator: - Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart - Shows **⚠️** in the table - Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly" This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply. --- ## How to Use It for Trading ### 🎯 Entry Strategies **1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)** - Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level - Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing - Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns) - **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry **2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)** - Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it) - Enter on the retest of the newly broken level - **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry **3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)** - When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels - Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support - Exit at opposite side or when bands break ### 🚨 Risk Management Rules **The Ancient Level Rule** > Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits. These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there. **The Proximity Exit Rule** > When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out. This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory. **The New Level Filter** > Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence. Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance. ### 📊 Reading Market Structure **Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)** - Unmitigated lows are aging and holding - Price respecting the lower band - Old lows below acting as strong support - **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels **Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)** - Unmitigated highs are aging and holding - Price respecting the upper band - Old highs above acting as strong resistance - **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels **The Tunnel Compression** - When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight - This often precedes a breakout - **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break ### 🔄 Strat Integration The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row: - **1** - Inside bar (consolidation) - **2U** - Broke high only (bullish) - **2D** - Broke low only (bearish) - **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility) Use these with the unmitigated levels: - **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection - **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce - **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops --- ## Settings & Customization ### 📅 Session & Timeframe Settings **HL Interval** (Default: 15 minutes) - The timeframe for high/low calculation - **Lower (1m, 5m)**: More levels, more noise, good for scalping - **Higher (30m, 1H, 4H)**: Fewer levels, stronger significance, good for swing trading - **Recommendation for NQ/ES**: 15m or 30m for day trading, 1H for swing trading **Session Age Threshold** (Default: 2) - How many sessions before a level is considered "old" - Lower = more levels classified as old - Higher = stricter definition of significance ### 📊 Level Display Options **Show Level Lines** - Toggle: Display horizontal lines for each level - **Turn off** if you prefer a cleaner chart and only want the table **Show Level Labels** - Toggle: Display price labels on the chart - **Turn off** for minimal visual clutter **Label Offset** - Distance (in bars) from current price bar to place labels - Increase if labels overlap with price action **Level Line Width & Style** - Customize visual appearance - **Thin solid**: Minimal distraction - **Thick dashed**: High visibility ### 🎨 Age-Based Color Coding Customize colors for each age category (high and low separately): - **New (0-1 sessions)**: Default bright red/green - **Medium (2-3 sessions)**: Default medium intensity - **Old (4+ sessions)**: Default dark red/blue - **Ancient (7+ sessions)**: Default deep purple/teal **Color Strategy Tips:** - Keep ancient levels in highly contrasting colors - Use opacity (transparency) if you want subtler lines - Match your chart's color scheme for aesthetic coherence ### 🎯 Band Settings **Band Mode** - **1st-2nd** (Default): The primary "tunnel" between most recent levels - **1st-3rd**: Wider band, more room for price action - **2nd-3rd**: Band between less immediate levels - **Disabled**: No bands, lines only **Band Colors & Borders** - Customize fill color and border separately - **Tip**: Keep bands very transparent (90-95% transparency) to avoid obscuring price action ### ⚠️ Proximity Alert Settings **Enable Proximity Alerts** - Toggle: Turn on/off the warning system - When enabled, levels within threshold distance show ⚠️ and turn yellow **Alert Threshold** (Default: 5.0 points) - Distance in points to trigger the alert - **For NQ**: 5-10 points is reasonable - **For ES**: 2-5 points is reasonable - **For MES/MNQ**: Scale down proportionally **Alert Highlight Color** - The color lines/labels turn when proximity is triggered - Default: Yellow (high visibility) ### 📋 Table Settings **Show Table** - Toggle: Display the dashboard table **Table Location** - Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right - Choose based on your chart layout and other indicators **Text Size** - Tiny, Small, Normal, Large - **Recommendation**: Normal for 1080p monitors, Small for 4K **Show % Distance** - Toggle: Add percentage distance column to table - Useful for comparing relative distances across different price ranges **Show Statistics Row** - Toggle: Show total count of unmitigated highs/lows - Format: "📊 15↑ / 12↓" (15 unmitigated highs, 12 unmitigated lows) - Useful for gauging overall market structure ### ⚡ Performance Settings **Enable Level Cleanup** - Automatically remove very old levels to maintain performance - **Keep on** unless you want unlimited history **Max Lookback Levels** (Default: 10,000) - Maximum number of levels to track - 10,000 ≈ 6+ months of 15-minute bars - **Increase** if you want more history - **Decrease** if experiencing performance issues **Max Boxes Per Band** (Default: 245) - TradingView limit is 500 total boxes - With 2 bands, 245 each = 490 total (safe maximum) --- ## Best Practices ### 🎯 Position Management **1. Scaling In Near Old Levels** ``` Price approaching 5-session-old low: - First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️) - Second position: 40% size at exact level - Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection ``` **2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels** ``` Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high: - Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️) - Exit 30% at exact level - Trail stop on remaining 20% ``` ### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you: **1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns** - **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level - **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings - **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear - **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert - **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades - **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed **2. Building Better Habits** The color-coded age system trains your brain to: - Respect levels that have proven themselves over time - Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels) - Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed **3. Emotional Regulation** The proximity alerts serve as: - **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones - **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing - **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure ### 📝 Pre-Market Routine **Daily Setup Checklist:** 1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price 2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price 3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones 4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide? 5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings 6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___." ### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence **Multi-Timeframe Strategy:** Run the indicator on **three instances**: - **15-minute** (short-term structure) - **1-hour** (intermediate structure) - **4-hour** (major structure) **Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone. **Example:** - 15m: Old low at 21,400 - 1H: Ancient low at 21,398 - 4H: Ancient low at 21,395 - **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone ### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do **Not a Crystal Ball** - It doesn't predict where price will go - It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided - The trading decisions are still yours **Not an Entry Signal Generator** - It provides context and structure - You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.) **Not Foolproof** - Ancient levels get broken - Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends - The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level --- ## Common Scenarios ### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead" **Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows: - 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old) - 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old) - 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old) **Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant. **Action**: - Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster) - Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd) - Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435 **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering. --- ### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches" **Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500. **Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone. **Action**: - If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level. - If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses) - Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests **Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan. --- ### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure" **Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High. **Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant. **Action**: - Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level - If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish - If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish - The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map. --- ### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout" **Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging. **Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely. **Action**: - Don't try to predict direction - Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low - When break occurs, trade the retest - Expect volatility - use wider stops **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts. --- ### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure" **Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓" **Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests: - Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind) - Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated) - Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above) **Action**: - Look at the age of those 22 highs - If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet - If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs - Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows? **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper? --- ## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.** Every unmitigated level represents: - Liquidity left behind - Orders waiting to be filled - Institutional interest potentially parked - Psychological significance for participants The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break. Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to: 1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones 2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk 3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them 4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached. **Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"* Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align. Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler. --- ### 🎯 Quick Reference Card **Color System:** - 🟢 Bright colors = New (0-1 sessions) = Shallow water - 🟡 Medium colors = Medium (2-3 sessions) = Penetration depth - 🔴 Dark colors = Old (4-6 sessions) = Deep dive zone - 🟣 Deep dark colors = Ancient (7+ sessions) = Overhead environment **Symbols:** - ↑ ↑↑ ↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑ = High levels (1st through 5th) - ↓ ↓↓ ↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓↓ = Low levels (1st through 5th) - ⚠️ = Proximity alert (danger zone) - 🟢 = Bullish structure - 🔴 = Bearish structure - Δ = Tunnel width (distance between 1st high and 1st low) **Critical Rules:** 1. Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions) 2. Respect proximity alerts (⚠️) 3. Scale out near old/ancient resistance 4. Wait for confluence when entering 5. Let mitigated levels prove their new role --- **Remember**: The indicator gives you structure. The trading edge comes from your discipline in respecting that structure. Trade safe, trade smart, and always know your exit before your entry. 🎯 --- *"You don't become your best self by denying your patterns. You become your best self by recognizing them, understanding them, and choosing differently." - Adapted from The Mountain Is You* In trading: You don't become profitable by ignoring market structure. You become profitable by recognizing it, understanding it, and choosing your entries accordingly.

Unmitigated Cave Diving MTF High Low - BookMap Style Chart Unmitigated Cave Diving MTF High Low - BookMap Style Chart Introduction This Pine Script indicator tracks unmitigated higher timeframe highs and lows with a session-aware approach, inspired by KinetiCapital's X D HL Targets. Built for precision trading on instruments like NQ during extended trading hours (ETH), it visualizes support and resistance levels that have not yet been breached, helping traders identify key price zones for potential reversals or breakouts. Core Features The indicator monitors multi-timeframe levels (default 15-minute) and applies intelligent styling based on recency and survival duration: Most Recent Levels: The 1st and 2nd most recent unmitigated highs and lows are highlighted with distinct colors and widths for quick visual identification Session Age Tracking: Levels are categorized by how many full trading sessions (1800-1700 NQ ETH) they've survived unmitigated, with "old" levels receiving special highlighting once they exceed your defined threshold BookMap-Style Visualization: Clean horizontal lines with optional price labels positioned above highs and below lows for minimal chart clutter Real-Time Summary Table: Displays the four most recent levels with their prices, distance in points from current price, and session age Mitigation Logic Levels automatically update when price touches them - high levels are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them, while low levels are mitigated when price touches or breaks below. Mitigated levels change to a neutral gray color and can optionally be deleted at session end to preserve chart memory. This tool is particularly valuable for intraday traders who trade around key structural levels and need to understand which unmitigated zones represent the freshest or most significant price memory in the market.

Latent Energy Reactor [The_lurker]Latent Energy Reactor | مفاعل الطاقة الكامنة ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🔬 THE PHILOSOPHY ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Markets operate in cycles of compression and expansion. Before every significant price movement, there exists a period where buyers and sellers reach a temporary equilibrium — a consolidation zone where energy accumulates like pressure building in a reactor. The Latent Energy Reactor was designed to identify these critical zones, measure the energy building within them, and predict the direction of the inevitable breakout. This indicator transforms the abstract concept of "market energy" into a quantifiable, visual system that traders can use to anticipate high-probability breakout opportunities. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🎯 THE THREE BOX STATES ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Understanding the three box states is crucial for proper interpretation: 📦 STATE 1: ACTIVE ZONE (GRAY BOX) ───────────────────────────────────── Visual Characteristics: • Color: Gray/Neutral with 3D depth effect • Extends to the right edge of the chart (future projection) • Contains pressure lines (dotted horizontal lines inside) • Displays gravity center line (dashed line showing volume-weighted center) • Energy progress bar beneath the box • Real-time information panel appears on screen What It Means: The gray box represents a LIVE consolidation zone currently forming. Price is contained within the boundaries, and energy is actively accumulating. This is the "waiting phase" where the reactor is charging. What to Watch: • Energy percentage climbing toward critical levels (80%+) • Gravity center position (upper half = bullish bias, lower half = bearish bias) • Top and bottom rejection counts in the information panel • Phase progression (Forming → Growth → Mature → Exhaustion) Trading Approach: Do NOT trade inside the gray box. This is the preparation phase. Monitor the energy levels and predicted direction, but wait for confirmation. 📦 STATE 2: BULLISH BREAKOUT BOX (GREEN BOX) ───────────────────────────────────────────── Visual Characteristics: • Color: Green with 3D depth effect • Box boundaries are now fixed (no longer extending right) • Displays "BUY" text centered inside the box • Stop Loss line appears below the box (orange) • Three Take Profit lines appear above (teal/cyan) • Entry line at the box's upper boundary (white dashed) What It Means: The green box indicates a CONFIRMED bullish breakout. Price has broken above the consolidation zone's upper boundary, releasing the accumulated energy upward. Automatic Calculations Displayed: • Entry Price: Upper boundary of the box • Stop Loss: Lower boundary minus ATR buffer • TP1: Entry + (Risk × 1.0) — 1:1 reward ratio • TP2: Entry + (Risk × 1.5) — 1.5:1 reward ratio • TP3: Entry + (Risk × 2.0) — 2:1 reward ratio Trading Approach: Consider long positions with the displayed SL/TP levels as guidelines. The higher the energy level and breakout quality score were before the breakout, the more reliable the signal. 📦 STATE 3: BEARISH BREAKOUT BOX (RED BOX) ────────────────────────────────────────── Visual Characteristics: • Color: Red with 3D depth effect • Box boundaries are now fixed • Displays "SELL" text centered inside the box • Stop Loss line appears above the box (orange) • Three Take Profit lines appear below (teal/cyan) • Entry line at the box's lower boundary (white dashed) What It Means: The red box indicates a CONFIRMED bearish breakout. Price has broken below the consolidation zone's lower boundary, releasing the accumulated energy downward. Automatic Calculations Displayed: • Entry Price: Lower boundary of the box • Stop Loss: Upper boundary plus ATR buffer • TP1: Entry - (Risk × 1.0) — 1:1 reward ratio • TP2: Entry - (Risk × 1.5) — 1.5:1 reward ratio • TP3: Entry - (Risk × 2.0) — 2:1 reward ratio Trading Approach: Consider short positions with the displayed SL/TP levels as guidelines. Stronger setups have higher pre-breakout energy and quality scores. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚛️ THE ENERGY CALCULATION SYSTEM ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ The energy percentage (0-100%) is calculated using four factors: Compression Score (up to 40 points) Measures how tight the range is relative to normal volatility (ATR). Tighter compression = higher energy storage. Time Score (up to 35 points) Longer consolidation periods accumulate more energy. Each bar adds to the score up to the maximum. Maturity Bonus (up to 15 points) Zones that reach mature phases receive bonus energy points, recognizing that extended consolidations often produce more powerful breakouts. Tightness Bonus (up to 10 points) Extra points awarded when the range height is exceptionally small relative to ATR. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📊 THE GRAVITY CENTER SYSTEM ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ How It Works: The gravity center is the volume-weighted average price within the consolidation zone. It reveals where the majority of trading activity (and thus institutional interest) is concentrated. Interpretation: • Gravity center in UPPER half → Institutions accumulating → Bullish bias • Gravity center in LOWER half → Institutions distributing → Bearish bias • Gravity center at MIDDLE → Neutral/Uncertain Visual Display: A dashed line with a ⚖️ symbol marks the gravity center inside active zones. The line color matches the directional bias. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🏦 INSTITUTIONAL FOOTPRINT DETECTION ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ What It Measures: The indicator scans for volume anomalies — bars where volume significantly exceeds the average while price remains contained within the zone. Why It Matters: Large volume without price movement often indicates institutional players building positions. They cannot accumulate or distribute large quantities without leaving a "footprint" in the volume data. Score Interpretation: • Below 30%: Normal retail activity • 30-50%: Some institutional interest detected • Above 50%: Significant institutional footprint (marked with 🏦 icon) ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📈 MATURITY PHASES ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚒ Forming Phase The zone has just been identified. Energy is low, and the pattern needs more time to develop. Premature breakouts during this phase have higher failure rates. 📈 Growth Phase The zone is developing nicely. Energy is building, and the consolidation pattern is becoming more defined. Watch for increasing rejection counts at boundaries. ✅ Mature Phase Optimal trading phase. The zone has accumulated significant energy, institutional footprints are often visible, and breakout quality scores are typically highest. ⚠ Exhaustion Phase The zone has persisted beyond typical duration. While energy remains high, the pattern may be losing its predictive power. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🎨 VISUAL ELEMENTS GUIDE ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 3D Box Effect The 3D rendering creates visual depth with a top face and side face, making boxes stand out clearly. Adjustable via "3D Depth" and "3D Height %" settings. Pressure Lines Dotted horizontal lines inside active zones visualize internal pressure distribution. Lines closer to the gravity center are more opaque. Energy Progress Bar A horizontal bar beneath each zone shows energy level visually. Color progresses: green (low) → yellow (moderate) → orange (high) → red (critical). Imminent Breakout Warning When energy reaches critical threshold (default 80%), a warning label "⚠ IMMINENT!" appears above the active zone. Information Panel Real-time table displaying: Energy Level, Phase, Prediction, Breakout Quality, Institutional Footprint, Top/Bottom Rejections. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📊 READING THE SIGNALS ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Energy Levels: • Below 40%: Low energy — breakout unlikely soon • 40-60%: Moderate energy — zone developing • 60-80%: High energy — prepare for potential breakout • Above 80%: Critical energy — breakout imminent Breakout Quality Score: • Below 50%: Weak setup — higher false breakout risk • 50-70%: Moderate setup — proceed with caution • Above 70%: Strong setup — high probability trade Direction Confidence: • Below 55%: Neutral — wait for clearer signals • 55-70%: Moderate confidence • Above 70%: High confidence prediction ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚙️ RECOMMENDED SETTINGS ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ For Scalping (1-15 min): Min Bars in Range: 10-15 | ATR Period: 10 | Range ATR Multiplier: 2.0 For Day Trading (15min-1H): Min Bars in Range: 15-20 | ATR Period: 14 | Range ATR Multiplier: 2.5 For Swing Trading (4H-Daily): Min Bars in Range: 20-30 | ATR Period: 20 | Range ATR Multiplier: 3.0 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🔔 ALERTS ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ • New Zone Alert: Triggers when a new consolidation zone is identified • Imminent Breakout Alert: Triggers when energy reaches critical levels • Bullish Breakout Alert: Triggers on confirmed bullish breakout • Bearish Breakout Alert: Triggers on confirmed bearish breakout ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool to identify consolidation patterns and anticipate potential breakout directions.

(المخاطرة × 1.0) — نسبة مكافأة 1:1 • الهدف 2: الدخول - (المخاطرة × 1.5) — نسبة مكافأة 1.5:1 • الهدف 3: الدخول - (المخاطرة × 2.0) — نسبة مكافأة 2:1 نهج التداول: فكر في صفقات بيع مع مستويات وقف الخسارة والأهداف المعروضة كإرشادات. الإعدادات الأقوى لديها طاقة ودرجات جودة أعلى قبل الاختراق. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚛️ نظام حساب الطاقة ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ تُحسب نسبة الطاقة (0-100%) باستخدام أربعة عوامل: درجة الضغط (حتى 40 نقطة) تقيس مدى ضيق النطاق نسبة للتقلب الطبيعي (ATR). ضغط أشد = تخزين طاقة أعلى. درجة الوقت (حتى 35 نقطة) فترات التجميع الأطول تراكم طاقة أكثر. كل شمعة تضيف للدرجة حتى الحد الأقصى. مكافأة النضج (حتى 15 نقطة) المناطق التي تصل لمراحل النضج تحصل على نقاط طاقة إضافية، اعترافاً بأن التجميعات الممتدة غالباً تنتج اختراقات أقوى. مكافأة الضيق (حتى 10 نقاط) نقاط إضافية تُمنح عندما يكون ارتفاع النطاق صغيراً استثنائياً نسبة لـ ATR. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📊 نظام مركز الثقل ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ كيف يعمل: مركز الثقل هو متوسط السعر المرجح بالحجم داخل منطقة التجميع. يكشف أين يتركز معظم النشاط التداولي (وبالتالي الاهتمام المؤسسي). التفسير: • مركز الثقل في النصف العلوي ← المؤسسات تجمّع ← ميل صعودي • مركز الثقل في النصف السفلي ← المؤسسات توزّع ← ميل هبوطي • مركز الثقل في المنتصف ← محايد/غير مؤكد العرض البصري: خط متقطع مع رمز ⚖️ يحدد مركز الثقل داخل المناطق النشطة. لون الخط يطابق الميل الاتجاهي. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🏦 كشف البصمة المؤسسية ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ما يقيسه: يفحص المؤشر الشذوذات الحجمية — شموع حجمها يتجاوز المتوسط بشكل كبير بينما يبقى السعر محتوى داخل المنطقة. لماذا هذا مهم: الحجم الكبير بدون حركة سعرية غالباً يشير إلى لاعبين مؤسسيين يبنون مراكز. لا يمكنهم تجميع أو توزيع كميات كبيرة بدون ترك "بصمة" في بيانات الحجم. تفسير الدرجة: • أقل من 30%: نشاط تجزئة عادي • 30-50%: بعض الاهتمام المؤسسي مكتشف • فوق 50%: بصمة مؤسسية كبيرة (تُحدد بأيقونة 🏦) ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📈 مراحل النضج ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚒ مرحلة التشكّل المنطقة تم تحديدها للتو. الطاقة منخفضة، والنمط يحتاج وقتاً أكثر للتطور. الاختراقات المبكرة خلال هذه المرحلة لديها معدلات فشل أعلى. 📈 مرحلة النمو المنطقة تتطور بشكل جيد. الطاقة تتراكم، ونمط التجميع يصبح أكثر تحديداً. راقب زيادة عدد الرفض عند الحدود. ✅ مرحلة النضج مرحلة التداول المثلى. المنطقة راكمت طاقة كبيرة، البصمات المؤسسية غالباً مرئية، ودرجات جودة الاختراق عادة في أعلى مستوياتها. ⚠ مرحلة الإرهاق المنطقة استمرت أطول من المدة النموذجية. بينما تبقى الطاقة مرتفعة، قد يفقد النمط قوته التنبؤية. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🎨 دليل العناصر البصرية ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ تأثير الصندوق ثلاثي الأبعاد العرض ثلاثي الأبعاد يخلق عمقاً بصرياً مع وجه علوي ووجه جانبي، مما يجعل الصناديق بارزة بوضوح. قابل للتعديل عبر إعدادات "عمق 3D" و"ارتفاع 3D %". خطوط الضغط خطوط أفقية منقطة داخل المناطق النشطة تصور توزيع الضغط الداخلي. الخطوط الأقرب لمركز الثقل أكثر وضوحاً. شريط تقدم الطاقة شريط أفقي أسفل كل منطقة يُظهر مستوى الطاقة بصرياً. اللون يتدرج: أخضر (منخفض) ← أصفر (متوسط) ← برتقالي (مرتفع) ← أحمر (حرج). تحذير الاختراق الوشيك عندما تصل الطاقة للعتبة الحرجة (افتراضياً 80%)، يظهر تحذير "⚠ كسر وشيك!" فوق المنطقة النشطة. لوحة المعلومات جدول فوري يعرض: مستوى الطاقة، المرحلة، التوقع، جودة الاختراق، البصمة المؤسسية، الرفض العلوي/السفلي. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📊 قراءة الإشارات ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ مستويات الطاقة: • أقل من 40%: طاقة منخفضة — الاختراق غير مرجح قريباً • 40-60%: طاقة متوسطة — المنطقة في طور التطور • 60-80%: طاقة مرتفعة — استعد لاختراق محتمل • فوق 80%: طاقة حرجة — الاختراق وشيك درجة جودة الاختراق: • أقل من 50%: إعداد ضعيف — خطر اختراق كاذب أعلى • 50-70%: إعداد متوسط — تقدم بحذر • فوق 70%: إعداد قوي — صفقة عالية الاحتمالية ثقة الاتجاه: • أقل من 55%: محايد — انتظر إشارات أوضح • 55-70%: ثقة متوسطة • فوق 70%: توقع عالي الثقة ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚙️ الإعدادات الموصى بها ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ للمضاربة السريعة (1-15 دقيقة): الحد الأدنى للشموع: 10-15 | فترة ATR: 10 | مضاعف ATR: 2.0 للتداول اليومي (15 دقيقة - ساعة): الحد الأدنى للشموع: 15-20 | فترة ATR: 14 | مضاعف ATR: 2.5 للتداول المتأرجح (4 ساعات - يومي): الحد الأدنى للشموع: 20-30 | فترة ATR: 20 | مضاعف ATR: 3.0 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🔔 التنبيهات ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ • تنبيه منطقة جديدة: يُفعّل عند تشكّل منطقة تجميع جديدة • تنبيه اختراق وشيك: يُفعّل عند وصول الطاقة لمستويات حرجة • تنبيه اختراق صعودي: يُفعّل عند تأكيد كسر صعودي • تنبيه اختراق هبوطي: يُفعّل عند تأكيد كسر هبوطي ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚠️ إخلاء المسؤولية ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ هذا المؤشر مصمم كأداة تحليل فني لتحديد أنماط التجميع وتوقع اتجاهات الاختراق المحتملة. لا يمكن لأي مؤشر التنبؤ بالمستقبل بيقين. مستويات وقف الخسارة والأهداف المعروضة هي اقتراحات مبنية على حسابات رياضية، وليست ضمانات. هذا المؤشر لأغراض تعليمية وتحليلية فقط. لا يُمثل نصيحة مالية أو استثمارية أو تداولية. استخدمه بالتزامن مع استراتيجيتك الخاصة وإدارة المخاطر. لا يتحمل TradingView ولا المطور مسؤولية أي قرارات مالية أو خسائر.

Smart Money Concepts - Absorption Smart Money Concepts - Absorption (SMC-ABS) Absorption event detector using split-volume VWMA ribbons, entropy filtering, and elasticity validation Overview This indicator highlights potential absorption/defense events: moments where price touches a volume-weighted band and then rejects, while additional filters confirm that market conditions are not random/noisy. What it plots • Energy ribbons (bands): two split-volume VWMA ribbon sets - Buy-weighted (cyan) and Sell-weighted (magma). • ABS markers: printed when touch + rejection + validation conditions are met (see Logic section). • Dashboard (HUD): real-time metrics such as price/volume z-scores, delta, entropy state, and resonance momentum states. Core logic 1) Volume engine The script builds Buy Volume and Sell Volume series using one of two modes: • Geometry (candle-range split): estimates buy/sell participation from the close position within the candle range. • Intrabar (precise): uses lower-timeframe up/down volume to derive buy/sell flows when data is available. 2) Split-VWMA resonance score For multiple periods (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50), the script computes: • A standard SMA of price. • A Buy-weighted VWMA of price (weighted by Buy Volume). • A Sell-weighted VWMA of price (weighted by Sell Volume). Resonance is derived from the normalized divergence between the SMA and the split VWMAs, aggregated across the available periods. 3) Validation filters Signals can be filtered by the following components (each toggleable): • Volume-weighted entropy: a fractal-efficiency style disorder metric (TR-sum vs range) adjusted by relative volume; high entropy blocks signals. • Momentum alignment (resonance velocity) : direction filter requiring positive velocity for buy events and negative velocity for sell events. • Elasticity (recoil vs penetration): rejection quality check based on the bounce-back strength relative to the penetration depth into the fast band. Absorption event conditions (ABS markers) ABS markers are generated using the fastest ribbon band (length 5) for the touch/rejection logic: • Buy absorption: low touches/penetrates the Buy band and the candle closes back above it, with filters passing. • Sell absorption: high touches/penetrates the Sell band and the candle closes back below it, with filters passing. Note: acceleration/deceleration is displayed in the HUD as a state; the primary directional filter is the resonance velocity. Settings • Volume Model: choose Geometry or Intrabar. • Intrabar LTF: lower timeframe used by the Intrabar model (only applies when Intrabar is selected). • Global Lookback: lookback window used for z-score statistics and related calculations. • Quantum Filters: toggles and thresholds for entropy, momentum alignment, and elasticity validation. • Dashboard Settings :/ Energy Ribbons / Absorption Events: controls for visuals and filtering behavior. Usage notes and limitations • Signals are most reliable after candle close. On the forming candle, conditions can change until the bar closes. • Results depend on the availability and quality of volume data for the selected symbol and exchange. • The Geometry mode is an estimate based on candle structure; it is not tick-accurate order flow. • Terms such as “quantum” and “physics” are metaphorical labels for statistical filters and validation heuristics. Disclaimer This tool is provided for analytical and educational use only. It does not constitute investment advice. Trading involves risk. Important note about Intrabar data and TradingView plan limits This indicator is volume-dependent. When using the Intrabar model, the best results typically come from very low intrabar timeframes such as 1 tick or 1 second (if your symbol and data feed support it). Please check your TradingView subscription plan and data entitlements - access to 1-second/1-tick lower timeframes is commonly restricted to higher-tier plans (often referred to as Premium/Ultra tiers). If intrabar data is not available, the script falls back to relative buy/sell volume estimation (Geometry mode), and results may be less precise.

Unmitigated High Low (Day/MTF) # Unmitigated High Low (Day/MTF) ## Overview The **Unmitigated High Low (Day/MTF)** indicator tracks previous timeframe highs and lows that remain "unmitigated" (untouched by price) and displays them as dynamic support and resistance levels. By default, the indicator monitors daily highs and lows, making it ideal for intraday traders seeking key institutional levels, though it supports any multi-timeframe (MTF) interval. The indicator extends horizontal lines from each level until price touches them, creating visual "zones of interest" where price action may react. ## What It Does This indicator identifies and plots two types of levels on your chart: - **High Levels** (yellow lines) - Previous timeframe highs that price has not yet reached or exceeded - **Low Levels** (cyan lines) - Previous timeframe lows that price has not yet broken below Each time a new timeframe period completes (e.g., daily candle closes), the indicator captures that period's high and low and extends them forward as horizontal reference lines. When price finally touches or crosses these levels, they become "mitigated" - the line stops extending, becomes transparent (60% opacity), and is marked as historical. ## Key Features **Multi-Timeframe Capability**: While defaulting to daily ("D") timeframe, you can switch to any interval (15-minute, 4-hour, weekly, etc.) to match your trading style. **Band Visualization**: The indicator creates colored bands between the two most recent active levels in each direction - an upper band (purple fill) between the 1st and 2nd unmitigated highs, and a lower band (cyan fill) between the 1st and 2nd unmitigated lows. **Visual Clarity**: Active unmitigated levels display in full color with customizable line width (default: 2), while mitigated levels fade to 60% transparency, helping you distinguish between current zones and historical references. ## How to Use It Add the indicator to your chart and observe where unmitigated levels cluster - these zones often act as magnets for institutional order flow. The most recent unmitigated high represents overhead supply/resistance, while the most recent unmitigated low represents underlying demand/support. Traders commonly use these levels for: - Entry zones when price approaches unmitigated levels with confluent signals - Stop-loss placement beyond unmitigated levels to avoid institutional sweeps - Profit targets at the next unmitigated level in the direction of your trade - Breakout confirmation when price finally mitigates a long-standing level The colored bands between the 1st and 2nd levels highlight "zones of friction" where price may consolidate or reverse before continuing its trend. ## Settings **HL interval**: Select your desired timeframe (default: "D" for daily) **High Line Color**: Color for unmitigated high levels (default: yellow #fff176) **Low Line Color**: Color for unmitigated low levels (default: cyan #00bcd4) **Upper Band Fill**: Fill color between 1st and 2nd highs (default: purple #880e4f at 85% transparency) **Lower Band Fill**: Fill color between 1st and 2nd lows (default: cyan #00bcd4 at 85% transparency) **Line Width**: Thickness of level lines (default: 2, range: 1-5)

Professional 3SD Institutional Rejection This indicator identifies institutional "liquidity grab" and "momentum exhaustion" zones using the statistical extremes of 3 Standard Deviations (3SD) on Bollinger Bands. Unlike standard strategies, it doesn't just look for band touches; it confirms price "wicking" outside the 3SD and closing back inside the 2SD band (rejection), while ensuring the Money Flow Index (MFI) shows signs of exhaustion. It is highly effective on 1H, 4H, and Daily timeframes for mean-reversion setups targeting the median line.

MTF Bollinger Bands (2SD & 3SD) 개요 1분봉이나 5분봉 등 하위 타임프레임에서 스캘핑을 할 때, 차트를 변경하지 않고 상위 타임프레임(기본 4시간)의 볼린저 밴드 위치를 확인하기 위해 제작했습니다. 주요 기능 MTF (Multi-Timeframe): 현재 보고 있는 차트와 상관없이 설정한 타임프레임의 볼린저 밴드를 표시합니다. (기본값: 4시간) 듀얼 밴드 시각화 (Dual Zone): 표준편차 2(2SD)와 표준편차 3(3SD)을 동시에 계산합니다. 2SD 영역: 2SD와 3SD의 배경색이 겹치도록 설계하여, 중심부(2SD)가 시각적으로 더 진하게 보입니다. 이는 주요 지지/저항 구간을 직관적으로 보여줍니다. 3SD 영역: 외곽은 연하게 표시되어 과매수/과매도 구간을 식별하기 좋습니다. 끊김 없는 라인: gaps_off 처리를 통해 타임프레임 변경 시 선이 끊기지 않고 부드럽게 연결됩니다. 설정 가이드 Timeframe: 기준이 될 상위 시간대를 선택하세요. (기본: 240분/4시간) Multiplier: 표준편차 배수를 변경할 수 있습니다. (기본: 2.0 / 3.0) Transparency: 배경 투명도를 조절해 밴드의 진하기를 변경하세요. ========================================== Overview Designed for traders who need to monitor Higher Timeframe (HTF) volatility while scalping on Lower Timeframes (LTF). This indicator overlays HTF Bollinger Bands on your current chart without the need to switch tabs. Key Features MTF Capability: Displays Bollinger Bands from any user-defined timeframe. (Default: 4 Hours). Dual Zone Visualization: Plots both 2 Standard Deviations (2SD) and 3 Standard Deviations (3SD). Visual Depth: The script utilizes an overlapping fill method. The inner 2SD band appears darker as it layers on top of the 3SD background, clearly highlighting the primary support/resistance zone. Extreme Zones: The outer 3SD band remains lighter, indicating extreme overbought/oversold conditions. Seamless Plotting: Uses gaps_off to ensure lines remain continuous across different timeframes. Settings Timeframe: Select the target HTF. (Default: 240 / 4H) Multiplier: Adjust the standard deviation multipliers. (Default: 2.0 & 3.0) Style: Customize colors and transparency to fit your chart theme.
