[AlscapeLabs] HTF Candle Stack (Multi-Timeframe) Overview The HTF Candle Stack (Multi-TF) indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed to overlay high-timeframe (HTF) price action directly onto your current chart, independent of the chart's price scale. This gives traders a clear, aligned, and non-overlapping view of simultaneous price movements across customizable timeframes. By stacking the candles horizontally next to the chart's price action, the indicator allows for quick identification of multi-timeframe correlation, trend confluence, and key levels without switching chart timeframes. Key Features 6 Independent Stacks: Configure up to 6 separate timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly) to view the complete market fractals from micro to macro. Price-Aligned Visualization : All HTF candle stacks are perfectly aligned with the main chart's vertical price axis Replay Mode Safe : Includes dedicated logic to prevent "duplicate candles" during Bar Replay, ensuring accurate backtesting and historical analysis. Toggleable Stacks : Each stack can be individually enabled or disabled via input settings Dynamic Spacing : The distance between active stacks is automatically calculated and adjusted based on the visibility of the preceding stack. Settings Guide Stack Configuration (1 - 6) Each of the six stacks has identical controls: Show/Hide : Enable or disable this specific stack. Timeframe : The specific HTF to display (e.g., "60" for 1 Hour, "D" for Daily). [*} Count : How many candles to show in this stack (Current Active Candle + Past Closed Candles). Tip: Use higher counts (10-12) for lower TFs (Stack 1-2) and lower counts (2-4) for higher TFs (Stack 5-6) Candle Color Controls global coloring Bullish / Bearish : Customize the body colors. Wick : Separate control for wick color and transparency Layout Distance from Chart : How far (in bars) to the right the first stack begins Space between Stacks : The gap (in bars) between each active stack. Candle Width : The thickness of the HTF candles. Labels Displays a time-frame next to the active (live) candle in each stack Show TF Labels : Enable or disable labels through all stacks Text Color : Label text color Background : Label background color Style : Label position (Left, Down) Size : Label text size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge) Developed by AlscapeLabs

EMA 8 / 20 / 200Created to easily use the 8/20/200 strategy. This indicator is designed to give a clear, multi-timeframe view of trend, momentum, and structure using three exponential moving averages. 1. Trend direction (EMA 200 – pink) The 200 EMA acts as the long-term trend filter. Price above the 200 EMA suggests a bullish market bias. Price below the 200 EMA suggests a bearish market bias. Many traders avoid taking trades against this higher-timeframe direction. 2. Momentum and trade bias (EMA 20 – blue) The 20 EMA reflects short-term momentum. When price respects the 20 EMA in an uptrend, pullbacks often provide continuation entries. In downtrends, the 20 EMA frequently acts as dynamic resistance. 3. Entry timing (EMA 8 – yellow) The 8 EMA is a fast reaction line used for precise timing. Crosses of the 8 EMA over the 20 EMA can signal momentum shifts. Strong trends often show price holding above (or below) the 8 EMA during impulse moves. 4. Confluence and trade filtering The indicator works best when the EMAs are aligned: Bullish alignment: EMA 8 > EMA 20 > EMA 200 Bearish alignment: EMA 8 < EMA 20 < EMA 200 Misaligned EMAs usually indicate consolidation or low-probability conditions. 5. Risk management context EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance: Stops are often placed beyond the 20 EMA or 200 EMA depending on trade horizon. Loss of EMA structure is a warning sign that the trend may be weakening. In short, the indicator is a trend-first, momentum-second framework that helps you decide when to trade, in which direction, and when to stay out.

Trading Value RSI (NQ Tuned)The Trading Value RSI (NQ Tuned) is an indicator that applies the RSI calculation to trading value, defined as volume × close, rather than just price. It is specifically tuned for Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ), with a default RSI length of 24, overbought level at 75, and oversold level at 25 to filter out false signals from high volatility. The indicator visually colors the RSI line based on overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (blue) conditions. A horizontal midline at 50 helps identify potential trend direction changes or confirm ongoing momentum. This tool allows traders to monitor capital flow intensity, giving insight into when strong buying or selling pressure may drive short-term market moves.

Impulse %Impulse % — Liquidation Cascade Detector (BTC · 1H) Impulse % identifies sharp impulsive price moves and liquidation cascades by measuring how much a candle’s range deviates from its historical average in percent. How it works Calculates the candle range (in %) relative to price and compares it to the average over N periods. When the range exceeds the upper band, an Impulse is detected. Inside each 1H candle, the indicator checks lower timeframes (1m / 5m) to classify the impulse phases: PANIC — the first minutes of a violent move (forced liquidations, stop hunts). CAUTION (Cascade) — continuation and “cleanup” phase with elevated risk. Determines whether the impulse is against the trend using EMA 50 / EMA 200 — the most dangerous scenario. Highlights risk zones to protect positions and filter new entries. What it’s for Avoid entering during liquidation cascades. Exit at break-even or partially take profit during risky phases. Recommended Settings — BTC (1H) Calculation Calculation TF: (empty = current) Average Mode: By N bars N (bars): 100 Range Type: High–Low Bands Upper Band (% of average): 130 Lower Band: Auto (same %) Cascade (First Minutes) Enable Cascade Filter: ON When to trigger safety: Only against trend PANIC (minutes): 3 CAUTION (minutes after PANIC): 15 Trend (EMA) Use EMA Trend: ON Fast EMA: 50 Slow EMA: 200 Lower TF Detection Lower TF: 1m (or 5m if you prefer smoother signals) Visualization Style: Columns Show Bands: ON Show Band Lines & Mean: ON How to read it (BTC · 1H) Purple (PANIC): first minutes of liquidation — do not enter. Yellow (CAUTION): cascade phase — high risk, manage/exit. Normal color: no active cascade — strategy allowed. Best practice: 1m/5m → real-time cascade detection 1H → decision level 4H → market context

ICT Macro Tracker - Study Version (Original by toodegrees)This indicator is a modified study version of the ICT Algorithmic Macro Tracker by toodegrees, based on the original open-source script available at The original indicator plots ICT Macro windows on the chart, corresponding to specific time [ periods when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm undergoes checks/instructions (aka "macros") for the price engine to reprice to an area of liquidity or inefficiency. This study version adds functionality to hide bars outside macro periods. When enabled, the indicator draws boxes that cover the full chart height during non-macro periods, obscuring those bars so only macro periods are visible. This helps focus on macro-only price action. The feature is configurable, allowing users to enable or disable it and customize the box color. All original functionality remains intact.

NQ 300+ Point Day Checklist (Bias + Alerts + Markers)This indicator helps identify high-range (≥300-point) days on Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ / MNQ) using a clear, rule-based checklist. It evaluates volatility, compression, price displacement, prior-day structure, and overnight activity to generate a daily expansion score (0–6). Higher scores signal an increased likelihood of a strong trending or expansion day. The script also provides: Expansion probability levels (Normal / Watch / High-Prob) Bullish, bearish, or neutral bias On-chart markers and background highlights Optional alerts for early awareness Best used on the Daily timeframe to help traders focus on high-opportunity days and avoid overtrading during consolidation. This is a context and probability tool — not a trade signal.

CHOP-O-METER - Multi-Factor Choppiness DetectorA composite indicator that quantifies market choppiness using four independent measurements, helping you identify when to trade trends vs. when to sit out or fade moves. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS The Chop-O-Meter combines four normalized components (each scaled 0-100) into a single weighted score: 1. Price Efficiency (Kaufman-style) Measures how efficiently price moved from point A to B. If price travels far but nets little distance, efficiency is low = high chop. 2. Direction Change Frequency Counts how often price direction flips within the lookback period. More flips = more chop. 3. Mean Reversion Intensity Tracks how often price crosses its moving average. Frequent crosses indicate a ranging, choppy market. 4. ATR Expansion Ratio Compares the sum of individual bar ranges to the total period range. High ratio means lots of movement within a tight overall range = chop. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ READING THE INDICATOR Above 65 (Red Zone): High chop — avoid trend-following, consider mean-reversion or staying flat Below 35 (Green Zone): Trending — momentum strategies more likely to succeed 35-65 (Orange): Transitional/uncertain regime ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SIGNALS 🔻 Green triangle (top): Chop breaking down — potential trend starting 🔺 Red triangle (bottom): Trend exhausting — chop may be returning ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SETTINGS Lookback Period: Number of bars to analyze (default 20) Component Weights: Adjust influence of each factor Thresholds: Customize high/low chop boundaries Show Components: Toggle individual factor plots for debugging ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ USE CASES Filter out trend trades when chop score is high Reduce position size in choppy regimes Switch between mean-reversion and momentum strategies Identify regime transitions early ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ALERTS INCLUDED Entering High Chop Entering Trend Chop Breaking Down

EMA Market Regime & Real-Time Candle Projection System📌 EMA Market Regime & Real-Time Candle Projection System EMA Market Regime & Parabolic Projection is a real-time market structure system designed to anticipate candle behavior before it fully forms, by dynamically projecting price levels based on trend strength, acceleration, and market expansion. Unlike traditional indicators that react after the candle closes, this system continuously adapts to live price data to provide early insight into bullish, bearish, parabolic, and exhaustion phases. 🔍 Core Concept The system operates on four key dimensions: Market Structure Uses a fast and a slow EMA to determine the dominant market regime (bullish or bearish). Directional Momentum Measures EMA slope to confirm directional commitment. Acceleration & Parabolic Detection Identifies true parabolic movements through acceleration analysis, filtering out weak or range-bound price action. Expansion Validation Confirms that movements are supported by genuine market expansion, reducing false signals. By combining these elements, the indicator projects a dynamic price level in real time, effectively drawing a forward-looking guide that adapts as each candle evolves. 🧠 Real-Time Candle Projection The projected line represents a dynamic equilibrium level derived from EMA structure and acceleration. This allows traders to: Anticipate continuation vs exhaustion Visualize momentum shifts before candle close Read potential candle direction and strength in real time The projection is non-repainting and updates tick-by-tick during the candle’s formation. 🎯 Market Regime Classification The system automatically classifies the market into distinct states: Bullish Trend – Positive structure with controlled momentum Bearish Trend – Negative structure with controlled momentum Parabolic Expansion – Accelerated trend with strong continuation potential Parabolic Exhaustion – Loss of acceleration signaling potential reversal or pullback Neutral / Range – Low momentum and low expansion (no-trade zone) Each state is visually encoded using subtle, professional coloring, ensuring price candles always remain the primary focus. 🛡️ Professional-Grade Filters Anti-range and anti-fake breakout filtering Cooldown logic to prevent repetitive signals Slope normalization relative to volatility Designed to remain readable on M1–M5 scalping and higher timeframes ⚙️ Designed For Scalping & Intraday Trading Real-time decision-making Trend continuation & exhaustion timing Prop-firm and professional trading environments This system is intended as a market structure and timing tool, not a signal spam indicator. ⚠️ Disclaimer This indicator does not predict the future and does not provide guaranteed results. It is designed to assist discretionary traders by improving real-time market reading and execution timing.
