POA BY NARENDRA SAHUPrice action in the share market refers to the movement of a security's price over time, analyzed through raw price data like charts, candlesticks, and OHLC (open, high, low, close) values. It is a form of technical analysis used by traders to identify trends, volatility, and key support/resistance levels without relying on lagging indicators.

Open Long Extension gran Open – Long Extension Gran
This is a specialized overlay indicator designed for short-term and intraday trading, particularly effective on commodities (such as gold, crude oil) and indices like UK100. It automatically labels key price points from each 1-minute up to 30-minute bars candle directly on the chart, displaying:
The open price
The high of the candle
The low of the candle
(And in some cases) the close or other reference levels
These labels appear as small tags , anchored at the corresponding price levels, making it very easy to visually track where each new 1-minute bar opened relative to the previous candle's high, low, or close.
This creates a clear visual map of price extensions — showing how far price stretches beyond prior candle extremes in real time — which helps identify: potential breakout or extension moves (long or short) areas of rejection or absorption around prior highs/lows
momentum continuation or exhaustion in fast markets.

Crypto Institutional Liquidity Sweep StrategyStrategy Overview: Institutional Liquidity Sweep & Trend Convergence
This strategy is a high-conviction systematic trading framework designed to exploit "stop-runs" and liquidity grabs within a dominant market trend. It combines institutional price action concepts with mathematical filters to ensure entries occur only when trend direction, volatility, and liquidity align.
1. The Trend Framework (EMA 200 Filter)
The foundation of the strategy is the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This acts as a "Directional North Star."
Long Bias: Trades are only considered when price is above the EMA 200.
Short Bias: Trades are only considered when price is below the EMA 200.
Buffer Logic: An optional percentage buffer can be applied to avoid "choppy" entries when price is hugging the moving average.
2. The Entry Trigger (Liquidity Sweeps)
The strategy identifies Institutional Liquidity Pools using Swing Highs and Swing Lows (Pivots).
The Sweep: The system waits for price to pierce below a recent structural low (Bullish Sweep) or above a recent structural high (Bearish Sweep).
The Trap: It then monitors for a "reclaim" where price quickly rejects the level. This suggests that the breach was not a breakout, but a hunt for stop-losses to fuel a move in the opposite direction.
3. Secondary Confirmation Filters
To maximize the win rate, the strategy requires a Secondary Filter to confirm market health (User selectable):
V olatility Oscillator: Ensures the market is in an Expansion Phase. It requires the oscillator to be rising, indicating that momentum is behind the reversal.
Smart Trendlines (Structure): Uses Linear Regression Slope to ensure the immediate micro-structure is aligned with the macro-trend.
4. Entry Confirmation (The Reversal Candle)
A trade is not triggered simply because a level was swept. The strategy requires a Reversal Confirmation:
Price Location: The candle must close in the upper 40% (for longs) or lower 40% (for shorts) of its total range.
Directional Body: The candle must close bullish for longs and bearish for shorts, confirming that buyers or sellers have seized control of the bar.
5. Risk Management (Fixed 1:2 RR)
The strategy prioritizes capital preservation through an ATR-based (Average True Range) risk model:
Static Exits: Upon entry, the Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are calculated and locked. They do not move, ensuring a mathematically pure 1:2 Reward-to-Risk ratio.
Volatility Adjusted: The distance of the stop loss is determined by the ATR, meaning the strategy automatically widens stops during high volatility and tightens them during calm periods.
ALMA SD Bands | RakoQuantALMA SD Bands | RakoQuant is a volatility-regime band system built from first principles using an institutional smoothing framework: an ALMA baseline combined with ALMA-smoothed standard deviation width, designed for clean trend containment and controlled regime classification.
This tool is part of the RakoQuant protected research line, focusing on minimal noise, persistent state logic, and volatility-aware market structure rather than traditional reactive Bollinger-style band behavior.
Core Concept
This indicator answers one key structural question:
Is price operating inside a stable volatility regime, or transitioning into a new directional band expansion phase?
Unlike classical deviation band systems that fluctuate aggressively candle-to-candle, ALMA SD Bands introduce:
* Ultra-smooth baseline structure
* Smoothed volatility width
* Persistent directional regime logic
* Deadband-based flip stabilization
The result is a clean institutional containment model rather than noisy retail band plotting.
How It Works
1. ALMA Baseline (Institutional Mean Structure)
The centerline of the system is computed using:
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
ALMA provides:
* Reduced lag compared to EMA
* Superior smoothness compared to SMA
* Stable regime structure across crypto volatility
This baseline acts as the equilibrium axis of the band system.
2. Standard Deviation Volatility Width (Smoothed)
Band width is driven by volatility, measured through standard deviation, with two selectable modes:
* Price Standard Deviation
* Return Standard Deviation (log-return volatility)
Rather than using raw deviation directly, volatility is passed through a second ALMA smoothing layer:
Smoothed Volatility = ALMA(StdDev)
This eliminates the jitter and band shaking that defines most Bollinger-type systems.
3. Adaptive Containment Bands
Final bands are constructed as:
* Upper Band = ALMA Basis + Multiplier × Smoothed Volatility
* Lower Band = ALMA Basis − Multiplier × Smoothed Volatility
Unlike traditional ±2σ envelopes, the multiplier is intentionally adjustable and tuned for regime containment rather than extreme tagging.
4. Deadband Regime Engine (Persistent State Logic)
A defining feature of this protected release is its regime persistence model.
Instead of flipping trend bias instantly, the script applies a volatility-scaled deadband buffer:
* Bull regime activates only above Basis + Deadband
* Bear regime activates only below Basis − Deadband
This removes micro-flips and produces a true structural regime state:
* Bullish containment (green)
* Bearish containment (red)
* Neutral transition zone suppression
Regime state persists until a confirmed boundary transition occurs.
Visual Engine
ALMA SD Bands follows the RakoQuant minimal institutional plotting standard:
* Active volatility bands only
* Smooth containment fill
* Optional candle painting by regime bias
* Ultra-clean overlays suitable for confluence stacking
This indicator is designed as a structural layer, not a clutter generator.
How To Use
✅ Volatility containment framework
✅ Trend regime bias overlay
✅ Expansion / contraction classifier
✅ Portfolio directional filter (RSPS compatible)
Recommended workflow:
* Trade long only during bullish regime containment
* Defensive during bearish containment
* Watch for regime flips as volatility transition events
* Combine with momentum triggers for execution
Best environments:
* 4H–1D swing trend structure
* Volatility breakout classification
* Institutional band containment systems

SMC Structure + HTF Levels + VolatilityDescription: This script is a comprehensive "Smart Money Concepts" (SMC) toolkit designed to filter out market noise and focus only on the Major Market Structure. It combines structural analysis, multi-timeframe key levels, and volatility tracking into a single chart overlay.
Unlike standard fractal indicators that clutter the chart with every minor pivot, this script uses a "Retroactive" logic system to only mark significant Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH) that confirm a trend break.
Key Features
1. Major Structure Mapping (Retroactive Logic)
The Problem: Standard indicators often mark a "Lower High" too early, only for price to continue higher.
The Solution: This script waits for a Major Low to be broken (confirmed break of structure) before identifying the peak that caused it. It then "looks back" and retroactively labels that peak as the valid Lower High (LH).
Result: You get a clean chart that shows only the true structural legs of the trend, filtering out internal sub-swings and fake-outs.
2. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Steplines
Automatically plots the previous highs and lows from higher timeframes:
PDH / PDL: Previous Day High & Low (Blue)
PWH / PWL: Previous Week High & Low (Orange)
PMH / PML: Previous Month High & Low (Purple)
These act as major magnet levels for price targets or reversal zones.
3. Volatility Regimes (Expansion vs. Consolidation)
Uses Bollinger Band Width to analyze market energy.
Green Background (Expansion): Volatility is above average. The market is moving fast (breakout or trend).
Gray Background (Consolidation): Volatility is below average. The market is squeezing, indicating a potential big move is building up.
How to Use It
Trend Following: Look for price to form a HL (Higher Low) in an uptrend. Wait for the background to turn Gray (Consolidation), then enter when it turns Green (Expansion) as price breaks upward.
Reversals: Watch for price to hit a PWH (Previous Week High). If a LH (Lower High) label appears shortly after, it confirms the reversal is valid.
Stop Placement: Use the most recent HL or LH labels as safe zones for stop-loss placement, as these represent protected structural points.
Settings
Swing Length: Adjusts how sensitive the structure detection is (Default: 5). Increase this number to see even longer-term structure.
Colors: Fully customizable colors for Bullish/Bearish structure, HTF lines, and Volatility zones.
Show/Hide: You can toggle off any element (like the Monthly levels or Volatility background) to keep your chart clean.
Rolling VWAP + Bands (Tighter Option) + 2.35/3.0 Re-entry AlertsRolling VWAP + σ Bands — How to Trade It
This indicator plots a Rolling VWAP (a volume-weighted mean over a fixed bar window) along with standard deviation (σ) bands around that VWAP. The goal is simple:
Quantify “normal” price distance from value (VWAP)
Highlight statistical extremes and pullback zones
Trigger re-entry signals when price returns from extreme deviation back inside key bands (±2.35σ and ±3σ)
It’s designed for scalping and short-term decision support, especially on lower timeframes.
What the Lines Mean
VWAP (Rolling Window)
The VWAP line represents the rolling “fair value” of price, weighted by volume across the lookback window.
In ranges: VWAP acts like a gravity center
In trends: VWAP acts like a dynamic mean that price may pull back toward before continuing
σ Bands (Standard Deviation)
The σ bands show how far price is from VWAP in statistical terms:
±1σ: Normal variation
±1.5σ: Common pullback / continuation zone in trends
±2σ: Extended move / trend stress
±2.35σ: Deep extension (often a “stretched” market)
±3σ: Rare extreme (often emotional moves / liquidation wicks)
The Most Important Feature: 2.35σ and 3σ Re-entry Signals
A Re-entry signal fires when price was outside a band on the previous bar and closes back inside that band on the current bar.
Why this matters:
The market pushed into an extreme zone…
…then failed to stay there
That “failure” often leads to a snap-back toward value (VWAP) or at least toward inner bands.
In general, a 3σ re-entry is stronger than a 2.35σ re-entry, because it represents a more statistically extreme excursion that couldn’t hold.
These are not “magic reversal calls” — they’re high-quality mean-reversion triggers when conditions favor mean reversion.
Regime 1: Contracting Bands = Mean Reversion Environment
What contracting bands imply
When the bands tighten / contract, volatility is compressed. In this environment:
Price tends to oscillate around VWAP
Deviations are more likely to mean revert
Extremes are clearer and usually followed by a return toward value
How to trade mean reversion with this indicator
Core idea: fade extremes and target VWAP / inner bands.
A) Highest quality setups: 2.35σ and 3σ re-entries
These are your “strongest” mean reversion events.
Short bias setup
Price closes outside +2.35σ or +3σ
Then re-enters back below that band (signal)
Typical targets: +2σ → +1.5σ → VWAP (depending on momentum)
Long bias setup
Price closes outside −2.35σ or −3σ
Then re-enters back above that band (signal)
Typical targets: −2σ → −1.5σ → VWAP
Why these work best in contraction:
The market is statistically “stretched”
With low volatility, it’s harder for price to stay extended
Re-entry often starts the “snap-back” leg
B) Scaling / partial targets (optional approach)
If you manage positions actively:
Take partial profits at inner bands
Use VWAP as the “magnet” target when conditions remain range-bound
Risk framing for mean reversion
Mean reversion fails when price keeps walking the band and volatility expands.
Common failure clues:
Bands begin to widen aggressively
Price repeatedly holds outside outer bands
VWAP slope starts to accelerate in one direction
If that starts happening, the market is likely shifting to a trend regime.
Regime 2: Expanding Bands + VWAP Slope = Trending Environment
What trending conditions look like
Trends typically show:
VWAP sloping consistently
Bands expanding (higher volatility)
Price spending more time on one side of VWAP
Pullbacks that stall near inner/mid bands instead of reverting fully
In this environment, fading outer bands becomes lower probability because price can “ride” deviations during strong directional flow.
How to trade continuation with this indicator
Core idea: use VWAP and inner bands as pullback zones, then trade in the direction of the VWAP slope.
A) Trend continuation zones (most practical)
VWAP: first pullback level in mild trends
±1σ: shallow pullback continuation
±1.5σ: higher-quality pullback depth in stronger trends
±2σ: deep pullback / trend stress (more caution)
Example (uptrend):
VWAP rising
Price pulls down into VWAP / +1σ / +1.5σ area
Continuation entries are considered when price stabilizes and pushes back with the trend
Example (downtrend):
VWAP falling
Price pulls up into VWAP / −1σ / −1.5σ area
Continuation entries are considered when price rejects and rotates back down
What to do with 2.35σ / 3σ re-entry signals in trends
Re-entry signals can still occur in trends, but they should be interpreted differently:
In strong trends, an outer-band re-entry may only produce a brief bounce/rotation, not a full mean reversion to VWAP.
Targets may be more realistic at inner bands rather than expecting VWAP every time.
In other words:
Range: outer-band re-entries often aim toward VWAP.
Trend: outer-band re-entries often aim toward 2σ / 1.5σ / 1σ first.
Practical Regime Filter (simple visual read)
This script intentionally doesn’t hard-code a “trend/range detector,” but you can visually infer regime quickly:
Mean reversion bias
Bands contracting or stable
VWAP mostly flat
Price crossing VWAP frequently
Trend continuation bias
Bands expanding
VWAP clearly sloped
Price holding mostly on one side of VWAP
Notes on σ Calculation Options
This indicator includes σ mode toggles:
Unweighted σ (tighter): treats price deviations more “purely” and often gives bands that react more tightly to price behavior.
Volume-weighted σ: emphasizes high-volume price action in the deviation calculation.
Both are valid — test based on your market and timeframe.
Summary Cheat Sheet
Contracting bands (range / compression)
Favor: mean reversion
Best signals: 2.35σ and 3σ re-entry
Typical targets: inner bands → VWAP
Expanding bands + sloped VWAP (trend)
Favor: continuation
Use pullbacks to: VWAP / 1σ / 1.5σ as entry zones
Outer-band re-entries: treat as rotation opportunities, not guaranteed full reversals
KAPISH Weekly Open + Trailing SLThis script is a highly precise, rule-based breakout strategy designed to trade the Weekly Open price level. It is built for a "Jane Street" style of disciplined execution, meaning it prioritizes confirmation over speed to avoid market noise and "fakeouts."Here is the structural breakdown of how the script functions:1. The Core Anchor: Weekly OpenThe strategy uses the Weekly Open as its "Fair Value" line.It assumes that if price holds above the Weekly Open, the weekly trend is bullish.If price holds below, the trend is bearish.It applies your 0.01 buffer to ensure the breakout is meaningful and not just a "touch" of the level.2. The Precision Filter: 2-Candle DelayThis is the most critical part of the logic. Most retail traders enter the moment a level is crossed. This script does the opposite:Step 1: Price crosses the Weekly Open $\pm$ 0.01. (Marked by a tiny gray circle).Step 2: The script waits for two full candles to close.Step 3: On the third candle, it checks: "Is price still above/below the Weekly Open?"Result: If yes, it fires the BUY/SELL 2QTY signal. This filters out "stop-hunts" where price spikes and immediately reverses.3. Professional Trade Management (The "Split-Exit")Instead of exiting the whole trade at once, the script manages 2 Units (QTY) differently:Target 1 (TP1): A fixed "offload" point. This is designed to capture quick profit and reduce the risk of the trade.Target 2 (TP2) + Trailing SL: The second unit is the "runner."It aims for a larger target.It utilizes a Trailing Stop Loss that "climbs" behind the price. If price moves 30 points in your favor, the stop loss moves up 30 points automatically.

Ayan EMAV HunterThe script involves 2 zones.
The Blue Zone is the Hunting Zone and the Red Zone helps to decide the which side to trade.
If the Blue Zone is above the Red Zone, we search for UpTrend Trades of 1:2 and we need to observe the candles with the Yellow Arrow which indicates Smart Money entering
Similarly, If the Blue Zone is below the Red Zone, we search for Bearish Trades with 1:2 Risk/Reward and we need to observe the candles with the Yellow Arrow which indicates Smart Money entering
If the Blue Zone lies within the Red Zone, then NO Trade, Just Observe

Multi-MA Crossover Alert by Funded RelayMulti-MA Crossover Alert is a simple yet powerful trend-following indicator that combines three moving averages to help identify trend direction and potential reversal points.
What it shows:
• Fast SMA (default 20 periods) – reacts quickly to price changes
• Medium EMA (default 50 periods) – smoother medium-term trend
• Slow SMA (default 200 periods) – long-term trend reference (often called the "death/golden cross" level)
Features:
• Dynamic coloring: Lines turn green when above the slow SMA (bullish bias) or red when below (bearish bias). The slow SMA stays gray for clear reference.
• Background tint: Light green/red background highlights the overall trend based on Fast SMA vs Slow SMA.
• Crossover alerts: Triggers notifications when the Medium EMA crosses above/below the Slow SMA (classic trend change signal).
How to interpret the signals:
• Bullish trend: Fast and Medium lines are green and above the Slow SMA → price is in an uptrend. Look for buying opportunities on pullbacks.
• Bearish trend: Fast and Medium lines are red and below the Slow SMA → price is in a downtrend. Look for selling/short opportunities on rallies.
• Bullish crossover (alert): Medium EMA crosses ABOVE Slow SMA → potential start of stronger uptrend or reversal from downtrend.
• Bearish crossover (alert): Medium EMA crosses BELOW Slow SMA → potential start of stronger downtrend or reversal from uptrend.
How to use it correctly:
1. Add the indicator to your chart via "Indicators" → Community Scripts.
2. Adjust the input lengths to match your timeframe and style:
- Shorter periods (e.g. 10/30/100) → better for intraday / scalping
- Longer periods (e.g. 50/100/200) → better for swing / position trading
3. Enable "Enable Crossover Alerts" if you want TradingView notifications (set alerts via the alert menu: condition = "alert() function calls only").
4. Use in combination with:
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Other indicators (RSI for overbought/oversold, candlestick patterns)
5. Best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) to reduce noise. On very low timeframes, false signals increase — always confirm with price action.
Important notes:
• This is NOT a standalone "buy/sell" system — no indicator is 100% accurate. Always use risk management (stop-loss, position sizing).
• Backtest on your assets/timeframes before live trading.
• Works on all markets: stocks, forex, crypto, futures, etc.

IBPDA Time Markers Daily OnlyThis indicator plots IBPDA (Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm) time markers based on true bar counts, not calendar days.
Unlike many time-cycle tools that rely on calendar arithmetic, this script calculates 20 / 40 / 60 daily candles, ensuring accuracy across:
market holidays
shortened sessions
exchange-specific trading calendars
It is intentionally restricted to the Daily timeframe, where each bar represents one completed trading session.
🔍 What This Indicator Does
Draws vertical lines at:
−20 / −40 / −60 bars (exact historical daily candles)
+20 / +40 / +60 bars (future projections for planning)
Uses bar index–based logic, not calendar dates
Prevents misuse by enforcing Daily timeframe only
Draws lines once per chart load to avoid clutter and object limits
⚙️ Key Design Choices (Important)
Past markers are exact
Past levels use time , which means “n completed daily sessions ago” — no approximation.
Future markers are projected
Since future bars do not exist yet, forward levels are projected using a configurable day-step. These are meant for time-window awareness, not precision forecasting.
No repainting
All levels are fixed once drawn.
🧠 How to Use (Best Practice)
IBPDA time levels are time magnets, not trade signals.
They work best when combined with:
Higher-timeframe PD arrays (weekly/monthly highs & lows)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Liquidity pools
Market structure shifts
Watch for price expansion, liquidity events, or displacement occurring near these time markers.
🛑 Limitations (By Design)
Daily timeframe only
Future levels are projections (exchange calendars cannot be predicted perfectly)
This script does not generate buy/sell signals
🎯 Intended Audience
This indicator is designed for:
ICT / SMC traders
Index futures traders (NQ, ES, YM, etc.)
Swing traders and position traders
Traders who respect time as a variable, not just price
🧩 Notes
Best used as a contextual framework, not a standalone strategy
Clean, lightweight, and safe for long-term chart usage
Built with strict Pine Script v5 compatibility and publishing standards
Trend Candles - [EntryLab]
Trend Candles:
This indicator overrides or overlays standard chart candles with a color gradient that reflects a calculated trend bias (uptrend or downtrend), helping traders quickly assess the overall market direction.Features:Candles are colored using a gradient scale: stronger shades indicate higher-confidence trend direction based on the algorithm.
Two usage modes:
Full override: Disable and hide the chart's native ticker/symbol candles (via chart settings) so the indicator's colored candles take over completely.
Hover preview: Keep your preferred candle setup/colors intact; simply hover the mouse over the indicator name in the chart legend to temporarily display the trend-colored gradient candles for quick reference without altering your main view.
Customizable inputs (adjust in settings): gradient colors for up/down trends, intensity thresholds, etc.
How it works (high-level):
The trend bias is determined using a combination of multiple VWAP calculations, trend-following data, and momentum-based indicators. This multi-factor approach aims to provide a smoother, more reliable signal of whether the market is in an uptrend (bullish bias) or downtrend (bearish bias) compared to single-indicator methods.
How to use:
Apply the indicator to your chart and use the colored candles as a visual aid for trend bias decision-making. For example:In a strong uptrend (deeper bullish gradient), consider favoring long setups or avoiding shorts.
In a downtrend (deeper bearish gradient), consider short opportunities or caution on longs.
Combine with other tools (support/resistance, volume, etc.) for confluence rather than relying solely on candle color.
This script offers a unique way to visualize trend strength via candle recoloring with gradient feedback, which can provide a broader overview of directional bias without cluttering the chart with additional plots/lines.Best suited for any timeframe, especially higher ones for swing/position trading or lower ones for intraday confirmation. No repainting occurs once a bar closes. Not financial advice. Trading carries significant risk of loss of capital. Always backtest and use discretion; results are not guaranteed.
New York | Asia | London - Session Range + ORB - [EntryLab]Session Ranges & 15min ORB – Asia, London, New YorkShort Title
This indicator plots the high and low of the three major trading sessions (Asia, London, New York) as well as the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels based on the first 15 minutes of each session.
Features: Full session high/low ranges for Asia (00:00–09:00 UTC), London (07:00–16:00 UTC), and New York (~13:30–20:00 UTC). Times are approximate UTC and may need adjustment depending on broker timezone or DST.
ORB: high and low calculated from the first 15-minute period (or equivalent bars) at the start of each session.
Customizable: toggle sessions on/off, change ORB duration, line styles, colors.
How to use:
Traders often monitor price action around prior session highs and lows to identify potential liquidity grabs or sweeps. The ORB provides additional confluence for gauging the session's potential directional bias or breakout levels.For example:A sweep of a prior session high/low can signal liquidity being taken.
Price breaking above/below the session's ORB high/low may indicate momentum in that direction for the current session.
This script combines multi-session range visualization with per-session ORB levels in one tool, which can help assess where liquidity pools may exist and where price could be drawn to fill or sweep certain areas.Best used on lower timeframes (e.g., 1m–15m) for intraday analysis. Session times are fixed (no automatic DST handling); users can modify them in the code if needed.Not financial advice. Trading involves significant risk of loss. Use at your own discretion and always test thoroughly.
