HTF Control Shift + FVG Interaction + Shift Lines ### 📘 **HTF Control Shift + FVG Interaction + Shift Lines** This indicator combines **Higher Timeframe Control Shift detection**, **Fair Value Gap (FVG) tracking**, and **Shift Line projection** into one complete structure-based trading toolkit. #### 🔍 **Features** * **Control Shift Detection:** Highlights bullish or bearish “Control Shift” candles based on wick/body ratios — showing where aggressive control transitions occur. * **Fair Value Gap Mapping:** Automatically detects and draws bullish or bearish FVGs on any chosen timeframe, with optional dynamic extension and mitigation tracking. * **Shift Line Projection:** Extends high and low lines from each Control Shift candle to visualize structure and potential continuation or rejection zones. * **Interaction Alerts:** Triggers alerts when: * A Bullish Control Shift interacts with a Bullish FVG * A Bearish Control Shift interacts with a Bearish FVG * Price breaks the high/low following an interaction * **Visual Highlights:** Colored FVG zones, labeled interactions, and diamond markers for easy visual confirmation of key reaction points. #### ⚙️ **How to Use** 1. Choose a **higher timeframe (HTF)** in settings (e.g., 15m, 1h, 4h). 2. Watch for **Control Shift candles** (yellow/orange bars) forming at or interacting with **FVG zones**. 3. A **Bullish Interaction + Break of High** often signals continuation. A **Bearish Interaction + Break of Low** may confirm rejection or trend reversal. 4. Use alerts to track live market structure shifts without constant chart watching. #### 🧠 **Purpose** Ideal for traders combining **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** and **candle structure logic**, this tool visualizes where institutional aggression shifts align with **liquidity gaps** — helping anticipate **high-probability continuations or reversals**.

Serenity Model VIPI — by yuu_iuHere’s a concise, practical English guide for Serenity Model VIPI (Author: yuu_iu). It covers what it is, how to set it up for daily trading, how to tune it, and how we guarantee non-repainting. Serenity Model VIPI — User Guide (Daily Close, Non‑Repainting) Credits - Author: yuu_iu - Producer: yuu_iu - Platform: TradingView (Pine Script v5) 1) What it is Serenity Model VIPI is a multi‑module, context‑aware trading model that fuses signals from: - Entry modules: VCP, Flow, Momentum, Mean Reversion, Breakout - Exit/risk modules: Contrarian, Breakout Sell, Volume Delta Sell, Peak Detector, Overbought Exit, Profit‑Take - Context/memory: Learns per Ticker/Sector/Market Regime and adjusts weights/aggression - Learning engine: Runs short “fake trades” to learn safely before scaling real trades It produces a weighted, context‑adjusted score and a final decision: BUY, SELL, TAKE_PROFIT, or WAIT. 2) How it works (high level) - Each module computes a score per bar. - A fusion layer combines module scores using accuracy and base weights, then adjusts by: - Market regime (Bull/Bear/Sideways) and optional higher‑timeframe (HTF) bias - Risk control neuron - Context memory (ticker/sector/regime) - Optional LLM mode can override marginal cases if context supports it. - Final decision is taken at bar close only (no intrabar repaint). 3) Non‑repainting guarantee (Daily) - Close‑only execution: All key actions use barstate.isconfirmed, so signals/entries/exits only finalize after the daily candle closes. - No lookahead on HTF data: request.security() reads prior‑bar values (series ) for HTF close/EMA/RSI. - Alerts at bar close: Alerts are fired once per bar close to prevent mid‑bar changes. What this means: Once the daily bar closes, the decision and alert won’t be repainted. 4) Setup (TradingView) - Paste the Pine v5 code into Pine Editor, click Add to chart. - Timeframe: 1D (Daily). - Optional: enable a date window for training/backtest - Enable Custom Date Filter: ON - Set Start Date / End Date - Create alert (non‑repainting) - Condition: AI TRADE Signal - Options: Once Per Bar Close - Webhook (optional): Paste your URL into “System Webhook URL (for AI events)” - Watch the UI - On‑chart markers: AI BUY / AI SELL / AI TAKE PROFIT - Right‑side table: Trades, Win Rate, Avg Profit, module accuracies, memory source, HTF trend, etc. - “AI Thoughts” label: brief reasoning and debug lines. 5) Daily trading workflow - The model evaluates at daily close and may: - Enter long (BUY) when buy votes + total score exceed thresholds, after context/risk checks - Exit via trailing stop, hard stop, TAKE_PROFIT, or SELL decision - Learning mode: - Triggers short “fake trades” every N bars (default 3) and measures outcome after 5 bars - Improves module accuracies and adjusts aggression once stable (min fake win% threshold) - Memory application: - When you change tickers, the model tries to apply Ticker or Sector memory for the current market regime to pre‑bias module weights/aggression. 6) Tuning (what to adjust and why) Core controls - Base Aggression Level (default 1.0): Higher = more trades and stronger decisions; start conservative on Daily (1.0–1.2). - Learning Speed Multiplier (default 3): Faster adaptation after fake/real trades; too high can overreact. - Min Fake Win Rate to Exit Learning (%) (default 10–20%): Raises the bar before trusting more real trades. - Fake Trade Every N Bars (default 3): Frequency of learning attempts. - Learning Threshold Win Rate (default 0.4): Governs when the learner should keep learning. - Hard Stop Loss (%) (default 5–8%): Global emergency stop. Multi‑Timeframe (MTF) - Enable Multi‑Timeframe Confirmation: ON (recommended for Daily) - HTF Trend Source: HOSE:VNINDEX for VN equities (or CURRENT_SYMBOL if you prefer) - HTF Timeframe: D or 240 (for a strong bias) - MTF Weight Adjustment: 0.2–0.4 (0.3 default is balanced) Module toggles and base weights - In strong uptrends: increase VCP, Momentum, Breakout (0.2–0.3 typical) - In sideways low‑vol regimes: raise MeanRev (0.2–0.3) - For exits/defense: Contrarian, Peak, Overbought Exit, Profit‑Take (0.1–0.2 each) - Keep Flow on as a volume‑quality filter (≈0.2) Memory and control - Enable Shared Memory Across Tickers: ON to share learning - Enable Sector‑Based Knowledge Transfer: ON to inherit sector tendencies - Manual Reset Learning: Use sparingly to reset module accuracies if regime changes drastically Risk management - Hard Stop Loss (%): 5–8% typical on Daily - Trailing Stop: ATR‑ and volatility‑adaptive; tightens faster in Bear/High‑Vol regimes - Max hold bars: Shorter in Bear or Sideways High‑Vol to cut risk Alerts and webhook - Use AI TRADE Signal with Once Per Bar Close - Webhook payload is JSON, including event type, symbol, time, win rates, equity, aggression, etc. 7) Recommended Daily preset (VN equities) - MTF: Enable, Source: HOSE:VNINDEX, TF: D, Weight Adj: 0.3 - Aggression: 1.1 - Learning Speed: 3 - Min Fake Win Rate to Exit Learning: 15% - Hard SL: 6% - Base Weights: - VCP 0.25, Momentum 0.25, Breakout 0.15, Flow 0.20 - MeanRev 0.20 (raise in sideways) - Contrarian/Peak/Overbought/Profit‑Take: 0.10–0.20 - Leave other defaults as is, then fine‑tune by symbol/sector. 8) Reading the UI - Table highlights: Real Trades, Win Rate, Avg Profit, Fake Actions/Win%, VCP Acc, Aggression, Equity, Score, Status (LEARNING/TRADING/REFLECTION), Last Real, Consec Loss, Best/Worst Trade, Pattern Score, Memory Source, Current Sector, AI Health, HTF Trend, Scheduler, Memory Loaded, Fake Active. - Shapes: AI BUY (below bar), AI SELL/TAKE PROFIT (above bar) - “AI Thoughts”: module contributions, context notes, debug lines 9) Troubleshooting - No trades? - Ensure timeframe is 1D and the date filter covers the chart range - Check Scheduler Cooldown (3 bars default) and that barstate.isconfirmed (only at close) - If MTF is ON and HTF is bearish, buy bias is reduced; relax MTF Weight Adjustment or module weights - Too many/too few trades? - Lower/raise Base Aggression Level - Adjust base weights on key modules (raise entry modules to be more active; raise exit/defense modules to be more selective) - Learning doesn’t end? - Increase Min Fake Win Rate to Exit Learning only after it’s consistently stable; otherwise lower it or reduce Fake Trade Every N Bars 10) Important notes - The strategy is non‑repainting at bar close by design (confirmed bars + HTF series + close‑only alerts). - Backtest fills may differ from live fills due to slippage and broker rules; this is normal for all TradingView strategies. - Always validate settings across multiple symbols and regimes before going live. If you want, I can bundle this guide into a README section in your Pine code and add a small on‑chart signature (Author/Producer: yuu_iu) in the top‑right corner.

London Breakout Structure by Ale 2This indicator identifies market structure breakouts (CHOCH/BOS) within a specific London session window, highlighting potential breakout trades with automatic entry, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP) levels. It helps traders focus on high-probability breakouts when volatility increases after the Asian session, using price structure, ATR-based volatility filters, and a custom risk/reward setup. 🔹 Example of Strategy Application Define your session (e.g. 04:00 to 05:00). Wait for a CHOCH (Change of Character) inside this session. If a bullish CHOCH occurs → go LONG at candle close. If a bearish CHOCH occurs → go SHORT at candle close. SL is set below/above the previous swing using ATR × multiplier. TP is calculated automatically based on your R:R ratio. 📊 Example: When price breaks above the last swing high within the session, a “BUY” label appears and the indicator draws Entry, SL, and TP levels automatically. If the breakout fails and price closes below the opposite structure, a “SELL” signal will replace the bullish setup. 🔹 Details The logic is based on structural shifts (CHOCH/BOS): A CHOCH occurs when price breaks and closes beyond the most recent high/low. The indicator dynamically detects these shifts in structure, validating them only inside your chosen time window (e.g. the London Open). The ATR filter ensures setups are valid only when the range has enough volatility, avoiding false signals in low-volume hours. You can also visualize: The session area (purple background) Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels Direction labels (BUY/SELL) ATR line for volatility context 🔹 Configuration Start / End Hour: define your preferred trading window. ATR Length & Multiplier: adjust for volatility. Risk/Reward Ratio: set your desired R:R (default 1:2). Minimum Range Filter: avoids signals with tight SLs. Alerts: receive notifications when breakout conditions occur. 🔹 Recommendations Works best on 15m or 5m charts during London session. Designed for breakout and structure-based traders. Works on Forex, Crypto, and Indices. Ideal as a visual and educational tool for understanding BOS/CHOCH behavior.

PriceAction & Economic StrategyThis indicator combines price-action logic with macroeconomic data to generate trading signals. Features: - Price-action signals: A bullish signal occurs when a candle closes above its open; a bearish signal occurs when a candle closes below its open. - Signal gap: The indicator includes an input called "Signal Gap (bars)" that defines the minimum number of bars between signals. By default the gap is set to 3, but you can adjust this between 1 and 10 to control signal frequency. - Alerts: The script defines alert conditions for long and short signals, allowing you to create TradingView alerts that notify you when a new signal occurs. - Economic data: The script uses TradingView's built-in `request.economic()` function to request U.S. GDP data. The GDP series is plotted in the Data Window for additional macroeconomic context. How to use: 1. Add the indicator to a chart. 2. Open the indicator's settings and adjust the "Signal Gap (bars)" input to set the minimum bar gap between signals. 3. Look for green triangles plotted below the bars (bullish signals) and red triangles plotted above the bars (bearish signals). These appear only when the gap criterion is met. 4. If you want alerts, click the Alert button in TradingView, select this indicator, and choose either the Long or Short alert conditions. 5. To view the GDP data, open the Data Window; the GDP value will be shown alongside other series for each bar. 6. Use these signals in combination with your own analysis; this indicator is for educational purposes and does not constitute financial advice.

High Volume Vector CandlesHigh Volume Vector Candles highlights candles where trading activity significantly exceeds the average, helping you quickly identify powerful moves driven by strong volume. How it works: - The script calculates a moving average of volume over a user-defined period. - When current volume exceeds the chosen threshold (e.g. 150% of the average), the candle is marked as a high-volume event. - Bullish high-volume candles are highlighted in blue tones, while bearish ones are shown in yellow, both with adjustable opacity. This visualization makes it easier to spot potential breakout points, absorption zones, or institutional activity directly on your chart. Customizable Settings: • Moving average length • Threshold percentage above average • Bullish/Bearish highlight colors • Opacity level Ideal for traders who combine price action with volume analysis to anticipate market momentum.

Candle Breakout StrategyShort description (one-liner) Candle Breakout Strategy — identifies a user-specified candle (UTC time), draws its high/low range, then enters on breakouts with configurable stop-loss, take-profit (via Risk:Reward) and optional alerts. Full description (ready-to-paste) Candle Breakout Strategy Version 1.0 — Strategy script (Pine v5) Overview The Candle Breakout Strategy automatically captures a single "range candle" at a user-specified UTC time, draws its high/low as a visible box and dashed level lines, and waits for a breakout. When price closes above the range high it enters a Long; when price closes below the range low it enters a Short. Stop-loss is placed at the opposite range boundary and take-profit is calculated with a user-configurable Risk:Reward multiplier. Alerts for entries can be enabled. This strategy is intended for breakout style trading where a clearly defined intraday range is established at a fixed time. It is simple, transparent and easy to adapt to multiple symbols and timeframes. How it works (step-by-step) On every bar the script checks the current UTC time. When the first bar that matches the configured Target Hour:Target Minute (UTC) appears, the script records that candle’s high and low. This defines the breakout range. A box and dashed lines are drawn on the chart to display the range and extended to the right while the range is active. The script then waits for price to close outside the box: Close > Range High → Long entry Close < Range Low → Short entry When an entry triggers: Stop-loss = opposite range boundary (range low for longs, range high for shorts). Take-profit = entry ± (risk × Risk:Reward). Risk is computed as the distance between entry price and stop-loss. After entry the range becomes inactive (waitingForBreakout = false) until the next configured target time. Inputs / Parameters Target Hour (UTC) — the hour (0–23) in UTC when the range candle is detected. Target Minute — minute (0–59) of the target candle. Risk:Reward Ratio — multiplier for computing take profit from risk (0.5–10). Example: 2 means TP = entry + 2×risk. Enable Alerts — turn on/off entry alerts (string message sent once per bar when an entry occurs). Show Last Box Only (internal behavior) — when enabled the previous box is deleted at the next range creation so only the most recent range is visible (default behavior in the script). Visuals & On-chart Info A semi-transparent blue box shows the recorded range and extends to the right while active. Dashed horizontal lines mark the range high and low. On-chart shapes: green triangle below bar for Long signals, red triangle above bar for Short signals. An information table (top-right) displays: Target Time (UTC) Active Range (Yes / No) Range High Range Low Risk:Reward Alerts If Enable Alerts is on, the script sends an alert with the following formats when an entry occurs: Long alert: 🟢 LONG SIGNAL Entry Price: Stop Loss: Take Profit: Short alert: 🔴 SHORT SIGNAL Entry Price: Stop Loss: Take Profit: Use TradingView's alert dialog to create alerts based on the script — select the script’s alert condition or use the alert() messages. Recommended usage & tips Timeframe: This strategy works on any timeframe but the definition of "candle at target time" depends on the chart timeframe. For intraday breakout styles, use 1m — 60m charts depending on the session you want to capture. Target Time: Choose a time that is meaningful for the instrument (e.g., market open, economic release, session overlap). All times are handled in UTC. Position Sizing: The script’s example uses strategy.percent_of_equity with 100% default — change default_qty_value or strategy settings to suit your risk management. Filtering: Consider combining this breakout with trend filters (EMA, ADX, etc.) to reduce false breakouts. Backtesting: Always backtest over a sufficiently large and recent sample. Pay attention to slippage and commission settings in TradingView’s strategy tester. Known behavior & limitations The script registers the breakout on close outside the recorded range. If you prefer intrabar breakout rules (e.g., high/low breach without close), you must adjust the condition accordingly. The recorded range is taken from a single candle at the exact configured UTC time. If there are missing bars or the chart timeframe doesn't align, the intended candle may differ — choose the target time and chart timeframe consistently. Only a single active position is allowed at a time (the script checks strategy.position_size == 0 before entries). Example setups EURUSD (Forex): Target Time 07:00 UTC — captures London open range. Nifty / Index: Target Time 09:15 UTC — captures local session open range. Crypto: Target Time 00:00 UTC — captures daily reset candle for breakout. Risk disclaimer This script is educational and provided as-is. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use proper risk management, test on historical data, and consider slippage and commissions. Do not trade real capital without sufficient testing. Change log v1.0 — Initial release: range capture, box and level drawing, long/short entry by close breakout, SL at opposite boundary, TP via Risk:Reward, alerts, info table. If you want, I can also: Provide a short README version (2–3 lines) for the TradingView “Short description” field. Add a couple of suggested alert templates for the TradingView alert dialog (if you want alerts that include variable placeholders). Convert the disclaimer into multiple language versions.
