RT-Bitcoin Funding CandlesIntroduction
The RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles indicator and the RT-Bitcoin Spot vs Perp Funding indicator are designed to visualize Bitcoin funding conditions using estimated spot versus perpetual futures pricing. Together, they help traders see how funding has been behaving and where leveraged traders may be leaning over time. These two indicators are meant to be used together, and this write-up will cover how to utilize both tools.
The RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles indicator converts estimated funding information into custom candle colors on the chart. The RT-Bitcoin Spot vs Perp Funding indicator shows the same concept in a separate panel, similar to how many traders use RSI or other oscillators.
Both tools are intended as context layers around funding behavior, not standalone signal generators. RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles Indicator
The RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles indicator uses estimated differences between Bitcoin spot prices and perpetual futures prices to color each candle based on whether conditions are more aligned with bullish leveraged positioning or bearish spot-driven pressure.
In general terms: When perpetual futures trade at a premium to spot for extended periods, conditions are often associated with more aggressive leveraged long positioning.
When perpetual futures trade at a discount to spot, conditions can indicate stress on leveraged longs or periods where spot demand is stronger relative to perp. The indicator converts this estimated spot versus perp relationship into a color scale on the candles:
Bullish / Leveraged Funding Scale
Dark Blue → Blue → Light Blue → White
Bearish / Spot Funding Scale
Dark Red → Red → Orange → Yellow This allows traders to look at a BTC chart and quickly see whether estimated funding has been skewed toward leveraged longs or more spot-driven pressure during each candle.
Displaying Funding Candles On Top Of Price
By default, some chart layouts may draw the RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles indicator behind the main price candles. To make the funding candles fully visible: Right click on the RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles indicator on your chart.
Select Visual Order .
Choose Bring to Front . Once this is done, the funding candles will sit on top of or replace the normal bar colors, making the funding bias easier to see at a glance.
RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles Settings
The RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles indicator includes a small set of tuning options so traders can control which exchange data is used and how sensitive the color transitions are.
Key settings include:
Exchange Selection
Allows the trader to select which funding source is used for the calculation. Common options include: Binance, Deribit and Bybit. This lets traders align the indicator with the exchange they track most closely.
Smoothness Adjuster
Controls how sensitive the candle colors are to short-term changes in the spot versus perp relationship. Lower smoothing values will make colors react more quickly, but can be noisier. Higher smoothing values will make colors change less often, focusing on more persistent funding conditions. Customizing Funding Candle Colors
Traders who prefer different color palettes can customize the funding candle colors in the Style tab of the indicator settings. Open the RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles indicator settings.
Go to the Style tab.
Adjust the colors and opacities for each bullish and bearish funding color step.
This allows traders to keep the same logic while matching the visuals to their own chart themes.
RT-Bitcoin Spot vs Perp Funding Indicator
The RT-Bitcoin Spot vs Perp Funding indicator presents the same core concept in a separate, oscillator-style panel, similar to how traders might use RSI or other momentum tools.
Instead of recoloring the main candles, it plots lines that reflect how strong the estimated spot versus perp funding relationship has been over time. This can make it easier to compare current conditions to previous periods and to see when funding has moved into more extreme zones. RT-Bitcoin Spot vs Perp Funding Settings
The RT-Bitcoin Spot vs Perp Funding indicator provides a set of inputs so traders can tune how the estimated funding lines behave visually:
Premium Sensitivity
Controls how sensitive the plotted lines are to changes in the underlying estimated spot versus perp relationship. Higher sensitivity will cause the lines to move more aggressively. Lower sensitivity will smooth smaller fluctuations and focus on larger swings.
Premium Smoother
Applies additional smoothing to the raw estimated funding data. Because the underlying data can be noisy in its raw form, this setting helps reduce erratic spikes so that major shifts in funding are easier to read.
Exchange Toggles
Allows the trader to choose which exchanges are displayed in the panel. For example: Show or hide Binance funding lines.
Show or hide Deribit funding lines.
Show or hide Bybit funding lines. If multiple exchanges are enabled, multiple lines can be displayed for comparison.
Line Colors
Line colors and thickness can be adjusted in the Style tab. This makes it possible to:
Assign different colors to each exchange.
Emphasize key lines while de-emphasizing others. How Traders Commonly Use These Tools
The RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles and the RT-Bitcoin Spot vs Perp Funding indicators are typically used as part of a broader BTC workflow rather than on their own. Common usage patterns include: Context Around Extremes
Comparing current estimated funding conditions to past extremes to see when funding has become unusually one-sided relative to history.
Trend And Funding Alignment
Studying whether strong trends are being supported by consistent estimated leveraged funding, or whether price is moving against the prevailing estimated funding bias.
Multi Tool Confluence
Combining estimated funding candles or the spot versus perp panel with other tools such as RT-Main Indicator, Machine Learning Reversion Bands, or pivots to build a more complete picture of market conditions.
Exchange Comparison
Using the Spot vs Perp Funding panel to compare how different exchanges are pricing estimated funding at the same time and to see when one venue becomes an outlier. In all cases, these indicators are intended to provide an additional layer of information about how spot and perp markets have been behaving. They are not designed to be automatic entry or exit systems.
Important Note
The RT-Bitcoin Funding Candles and the RT-Bitcoin Spot vs Perp Funding indicators use chart-based calculations and publicly available pricing to approximate funding behavior. They do not access private exchange order books or actual liquidation feeds, do not reveal real trader positions, and cannot guarantee that any specific funding condition will lead to a particular price move.
These tools are intended to provide additional context around funding, positioning, and potential areas of interest. They are not standalone signal generators and should always be used together with your own analysis, testing, and risk management. Historical funding patterns or past interactions with these indicators do not guarantee future results.

6 Custom HTF Candle Overlays (manny_mailbox2)This indicator displays up to 6 custom Higher Time Frame (HTF) candles overlaid on your chart, each representing a different time session that you define.
Core Functionality
Session-Based HTF Candles
Instead of using fixed timeframes (like 15min, 1H, 4H), this lets you create custom "candles" based on specific time ranges. For example:
HTF 1: 00:00-15:00 (default - basically a day session)
HTF 2: 07:00-11:00 (morning session)
HTF 3: 11:00-15:00 (afternoon session)
And so on...
What Each HTF Candle Shows
Each session candle displays the complete OHLC data for that time period:
Body box: Shows open and close (colored based on bull/bear)
Upper wick: High to close/open (whichever is higher)
Lower wick/tail: Low to close/open (whichever is lower)
Optional opening price line: Horizontal line at the session open
Additional Features
Body Midpoint: Shows the 50% level of the candle body
Wick Midpoints: Shows the 50% level of upper/lower wicks (only displays if the wick is "significant" - at least 1/6 of total candle range)
Extend option: Can extend the wick midpoint lines forward by X bars
Fully customizable colors: Separate colors for bull/bear bodies, borders, wicks, and midpoints for each HTF
Why Use This?
This is perfect for traders who want to:
Track specific market sessions (London, NY, Asia, etc.)
See consolidation periods or accumulation zones as single candles
Identify session highs/lows and key levels
Combine with your CISD indicator to see how price interacts with session structure
The 250-day lookback keeps your chart clean while giving you substantial history to analyze.

Auto Channel DetectorChannel Detector — Indicator Description:
The Channel Detector is a powerful TradingView indicator designed to automatically identify market channels and display them directly on the chart. Using structural swing points and trend-based logic, the tool recognizes parallel price movement and draws the upper and lower boundaries of each channel with precision. A midpoint line is plotted through the center of the channel to help visualize equilibrium and potential reaction zones.
This indicator highlights trending and consolidating behavior by mapping the most relevant channels as price develops. Whether the market is rising, falling, or ranging, the Channel Detector provides a clear visual structure that traders can use to interpret price action, anticipate breakouts, and refine trade entries.
Fully customizable, it allows users to adjust line styles, colors, and visibility options to match any trading style or chart layout. The result is a clean and intuitive tool that brings structure, context, and clarity to market movement.
Market Regime Flip (Dunk)This indicator is a trend regime flip tool built on top of MACD. Instead of reacting to every little wiggle, it waits for several bars in a row where the MACD stays either above or below zero (by default, 3 consecutive bars). When the MACD has been above zero for 3 bars, it declares a bull regime and marks that bar on the price chart with a green “BULL” triangle above the candle. When the MACD has been below zero for 3 bars, it declares a bear regime and marks that bar with a red “BEAR” triangle below the candle. It also lightly colors the chart background green in bull regimes and red in bear regimes, so you can see at a glance which side of the market you’re in.
In other words, it turns the MACD’s usual “above/below zero” behavior into a clean, slower-changing on/off regime switch. Instead of giving you constant signals, it focuses on the moments where momentum truly shifts and sticks around for a few bars, helping you avoid getting faked out by single-bar noise. The alerts are wired to those flip moments, so you can get notified when the market transitions from bearish to bullish (or vice versa) according to this MACD-based regime logic.
Equal Highs/Lows Multi-Pivot [Julio]Equal Highs/Lows Multi-Pivot
Description
A sophisticated multi-timeframe pivot analysis tool that detects and highlights equal highs and equal lows across four different pivot lengths simultaneously. This indicator identifies price levels where the market creates identical extremes, a powerful signal of institutional support/resistance and potential reversal or breakout zones.
How It Works
Four Independent Pivot Streams
Pivot 1 (Intraday - 2 bars): Ultra-fast level detection for scalpers
Pivot 2 (Session - 4 bars): Short-term swing levels
Pivot 3 (Daily - 6 bars): Medium-term structural levels
Pivot 4 (Weekly - 9 bars): Long-term institutional levels
Equal High (EQH) Detection
Compares consecutive swing highs and draws a line when two highs are nearly identical within a defined threshold. The indicator uses ATR-based confluence to determine "equality," filtering out noise while catching true market structure.
Equal Low (EQL) Detection
Same logic applied to swing lows, identifying support zones where price repeatedly fails to break below previous lows.
Key Features
Four Simultaneous Timeframes: Analyze intraday, session, daily, and weekly structures all on one chart
ATR-Based Confluence Threshold: Automatically adjusts sensitivity based on current volatility (no fake signals)
Color-Coded Levels: Each pivot length has distinct colors for instant visual identification
Highs: Red, Orange, Yellow, Fuchsia
Lows: Green, Blue, Aqua, Purple
Confirmation Mode: Optional setting to wait for full pivot confirmation before marking levels
Customizable Alert Zones: Toggle individual pivot lengths on/off to reduce clutter
Smart Label Positioning: Labels auto-center between the two equal pivots for clarity
Ideal For
Swing traders tracking support/resistance across multiple timeframes
Scalpers identifying micro-structure for quick entries and exits
Market structure analysts studying institutional price action patterns
Multi-timeframe traders needing confluence from intraday to weekly levels
Anyone trading 1-minute to 4-hour charts
Trading Applications
Identify strong support/resistance zones: Equal levels = confirmed institutional levels
Confirm trend reversals: Multiple equal lows = strong accumulation zone; multiple equal highs = distribution
Plan entries with precision: Enter near equal levels for higher probability setups
Detect liquidity concentration: Where price repeatedly tests the same level
Multi-timeframe confluence: Look for equal levels across multiple pivot lengths for ultra-strong zones
How to Use
Identify the equal levels: Color-coded lines instantly show where price creates matching extremes
Check for confluence: Strong setups occur where multiple pivot lengths align
Wait for price action: Watch for breakouts through equal levels or reversals at these zones
Enter with structure: Use equal levels as entry/exit triggers combined with your trading methodology
Manage with confidence: These levels mark institutional decision points
Customization Options
Adjust pivot lengths to match your preferred timeframe structure
Set ATR threshold sensitivity (lower = stricter equality, higher = more signals)

RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GPIntroduction
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator is a multipurpose toolkit that combines custom Ichimoku clouds, custom RSI-based overlays, RSI Top/Bottom signals, Hull Moving Averages and automated Fibonacci Golden Pocket zones into a single indicator. It is designed to give traders flexible ways to view trend, momentum, and key zones on the chart.
This publication walks through each major component of the RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator and how traders commonly use them.
Custom Ichimoku Clouds
The top section of RT Custom Clouds focuses on Ichimoku-style clouds. Traders can choose between different cloud variants and control whether they want the full Ichimoku toolkit or only the cloud itself on the chart.
A single toggle controls the cloud display: Cloud Only (All Versions) - When enabled, only the selected cloud is displayed. Core Ichimoku lines are hidden so traders who prefer a clean cloud view can keep their charts simple. Traders can select between three cloud styles: Josh Olszewicz Cloud (Preferred) - Uses a doubled parameter set inspired by the well-known Ichimoku variant popularized by Josh Olszewicz.
Standard Cloud - Uses the classic Ichimoku settings familiar from most charting platforms.
Custom Cloud - Allows full control over the main Ichimoku inputs:
Custom Conversion Line Length
Custom Base Line Length
Custom Leading Span Length
Custom Displacement
These options let traders move between a standard Ichimoku view, a doubled parameter variant, or a fully customized configuration tuned to their own style.
Custom RSI X's and RSI Bot Signals
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator also includes an RSI X overlay that plots RSI information directly onto price candles instead of keeping it in a separate lower pane. This makes it easier to see momentum shifts and extended conditions without constantly looking down at another indicator. RSI Colors
Instead of drawing RSI as a line, the tool places colored X markers on candles to reflect RSI behavior. These markers use an adapted version of the Rainbow Trends color system. To keep candle colors and RSI markers visually distinct, the original Rainbow Trends color code is inverted for RSI. This inversion helps traders quickly distinguish between the underlying trend colors and the RSI-driven overlays: RSI Settings
The RSI section includes a focused set of options to tune how the X markers behave and how the RSI Bot interprets momentum:
RSI "X" Marker Sensitivity - Adjusts how sensitive the X markers are to RSI changes. Higher or lower values will change how often markers appear.
RSI Length - Controls how many candles are used when calculating RSI. The default value is similar to traditional 14-period RSI, but can be adjusted.
RSI Markers On/Off - Toggles the colored X markers on or off.
RSI Top/Bottom Signals On/Off - Toggles the RSI Bot signals that mark potential tops and bottoms.
RSI Overbought On/Off - Enables or disables overbought style X markers.
RSI Oversold On/Off - Enables or disables oversold style X markers.
RSI Bot - Tops And Bottoms
Over time, traders using this tool wanted a way to summarize longer stretches of RSI activity into clear signals. The RSI Top/Bottom Bot does this by watching runs of RSI X markers and waiting for those runs to pause.
Conceptually, the RSI Bot: Monitors when a strong sequence of RSI X markers is printing in one direction.
Waits for a candle where no RSI X marker appears after that run.
Marks that candle as a potential RSI Top or RSI Bottom, since the prior RSI pressure has paused and a reversal may start. These signals can be tied to TradingView alerts using standard alert conditions so traders can monitor major shifts in RSI behavior without watching every bar. Alerts can be set for either RSI Top signals or RSI Bottom signals. Hull Moving Average (HMA)
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator also includes a Hull Moving Average component inspired by early users of Rainbow Trends tools who relied on tuned HMAs for trend context. The HMA implementation follows common definitions of the Hull Moving Average and can be configured with user-defined lengths. Many traders using this tool treat the HMA as a secondary trend filter or confirmation layer alongside other Rainbow Trends indicators. For example: Watching whether price is trading above or below a longer HMA to frame bullish or bearish bias.
Studying how price interacts with the HMA during extended trends or range rotations.
HMA Cross Alerts And Divergences
The tool can also draw and alert on HMA cross events and divergence style patterns: HMA Cross Alerts - Alerts can be configured when price or multiple HMAs cross, allowing traders to automate notifications for potential trend shifts.
HMA Divergences - An optional divergence mode looks for conditions similar to RSI divergence style setups, but applied to the HMA logic. These are intended as context layers around trend behavior, not as automatic entry and exit rules.
HMA Settings
The HMA module of this indicator can be tuned to meet each trader's preference.
Plot HMA - On/Off - Toggles the HMA Line on/off.
HMA Alerts - On/Off - Toggles HMA Alerts on/off.
Plot HMA Alerts - On/Off - Toggles HMA Alerts on/off.
Plot Divergences - On/Off - Toggles Divergences on/off so the trader can choose which specific ones they want to display.
HMA Period - Adjusts the period of candles the HMA is calculated off of.
HMA Source - Changes the base calculation of the HMA.
Pivot Lookbacks - Adjusts the candle lookback range for the HMA Divergences.
Max/Min of Lookback Range - Adjusts the min & max lookback range for the HMA Divergences. Fibonacci Golden Pockets
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator also includes an automated Fibonacci Golden Pocket module. Instead of manually drawing Fibonacci retracements and marking the Golden Pocket region for each swing, the tool scans the chart and plots these zones for the trader.
The Golden Pocket module can be configured using:
Golden Pocket On/Off - Toggles automatic plotting of golden pocket zones.
Golden Pocket Colors - Controls line and fill appearance so zones can be made more or less prominent.
Lookback Period - Defines how far back the algorithm studies price action when searching for swings and drawing golden pocket zones.
Invert Fibs - Inverts the Golden Pocket measurement.
Extend Lines - Allows for the Fib lines to be plotted further across the chart.
Display Prices/Levels - Toggles plotting of the prices and Fib levels on and off. Some traders prefer to work with both traditional and inverted golden pockets at the same time. This can be done by adding RT Custom Clouds to the chart twice, running one instance with standard golden pocket settings and the second instance with inverted settings.
How Traders Commonly Use The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP Indicator
Because the RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator offers several tools into a single script, traders often use it as a multipurpose context layer rather than a one-dimensional indicator. Common patterns include: Using custom Ichimoku clouds to frame overall trend and support or resistance zones.
Overlaying RSI X markers and RSI Top/Bottom signals onto price to highlight momentum shifts and exhaustion areas.
Adding HMA and HMA cross alerts as a secondary trend confirmation tool.
Letting the Golden Pocket module continuously plot Fibonacci based zones to study how price reacts around them over time.
In all cases, RT Custom Clouds is designed to provide structured context that can be combined with other Rainbow Trends tools, price action, and volume analysis.
Important Note
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator is intended to provide additional context around trend structure, momentum, and potential support or resistance zones. It is not a standalone signal generator and should always be used together with your own analysis, testing, and risk management. Historical examples or past interactions with clouds, RSI markers, HMAs, or golden pockets do not guarantee future results.

Engulfing CandlesEngulfing Candles highlights two tiers of engulfing structures on the chart:
Strong Engulfing – aggressive, high-conviction outside bars where the real body completely dominates the previous candle.
Regular Engulfing – clean outside bars that still show control, but with looser body conditions.
Both are plotted as dots directly on the price so you can quickly spot liquidity sweeps and potential reversal/continuation zones.
1. Strong Engulfing (Body + Outside Bar)
Concept:
A Strong Engulfing candle is a strict outside bar that both sweeps liquidity and shows decisive control in the body (current body fully covers the previous body).
Strong Bullish Engulfing
Plotted as a solid red dot above the bar.
2. Regular Engulfing (Outside Bar Only)
Concept:
Regular Engulfing marks strict outside bars that still show control, but without requiring the current body to completely engulf the prior body. They are weaker than Strong but still useful context for structure and liquidity sweeps.
Regular Bullish Engulfing
Plotted as a faded red dot above the bar.

2-Wick OB Hold + Retest (NY) — @TheTraderGuyZzzThis indicator implements a mechanical version of a “2‑wick order block hold and retest” setup on the NY session, designed for systematic testing rather than discretionary execution.
## What it does
- Automatically detects bullish and bearish order blocks after an impulsive move, then looks for two consecutive wick‑holds at the distal level with a clean confirmation candle closing away from the zone.
- Tracks whether the retest is “immediate” (price stays inside the OB and fills quickly) or “non‑immediate” (price closes away first, then later gives a one‑wick retest), and triggers a single limit‑style entry at the distal.
- Uses fixed, user‑defined stop and target in points (default 20×20) and enforces a maximum number of trades per NY session to keep results realistic.
## How to use it
- Apply on a 1‑minute Heikin‑Ashi chart for the instrument you trade, with the default NY session time filter.
- Connect your own risk management or use it as a signal‑only tool alongside separate execution logic; the script does not place real orders.
- The built‑in stats table shows live performance of all closed trades: win rate, average winning/losing points, average trade duration in minutes, trade count, and cumulative net points, so you can quickly see whether the setup has an edge on your market and timeframe.

PIPSTA - ORB# PIPSTA - ORB - Complete Explanation
This is a sophisticated **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)** indicator for TradingView that tracks price movements during the first minutes of a trading session and identifies breakout opportunities.
---
## 🎯 Core Concept: What is ORB?
**Opening Range Breakout** is a trading strategy based on the idea that the first minutes of trading establish key support/resistance levels. When price breaks above (bullish) or below (bearish) these levels with conviction, it often signals a strong directional move for the rest of the session.
---
## 📊 Key Features
### 1. **Multi-Stage ORB Tracking**
The indicator tracks **4 different opening ranges simultaneously**:
- **ORB 5**: First 5 minutes (fastest, most volatile)
- **ORB 15**: First 15 minutes (balanced signals)
- **ORB 30**: First 30 minutes (more reliable)
- **ORB 60**: First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each stage establishes a **High** and **Low** level. The active ORB (usually the largest completed one) is used for breakout detection.
---
### 2. **Breakout Detection System**
**How it works:**
- Monitors when price closes **above ORB High** (bullish breakout) or **below ORB Low** (bearish breakout)
- Requires a **buffer** (default 0.2%) to filter false breakouts
- Tracks **cycles**: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout sequences
- Shows labels on chart marking breakouts with cycle numbers
**Signal Modes:**
- **First Only**: Shows only the first breakout in each direction per day
- **Track Cycles**: Shows multiple breakouts as price oscillates (up to configurable max cycles)
---
### 3. **Advanced Filtering**
The indicator includes **optional filters** to improve signal quality:
#### **Volume Filter**
- Compares current volume to moving average
- Requires volume ≥ X multiplier (default 1.5×) for breakout confirmation
- **Strong Volume Override**: If volume exceeds threshold (default 2×), bypasses other filters
#### **Trend Filter**
- Multiple methods: VWAP, EMA, SuperTrend, or combinations
- Only shows breakouts **aligned with the trend**
- Prevents counter-trend trades with lower success rates
#### **FVG (Fair Value Gap) Filter**
- Detects price gaps from strong momentum moves
- Requires breakout to occur near a FVG for confirmation
- Shows FVG boxes on chart (optional)
#### **Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bias**
- Checks daily/4H/weekly trend before taking breakouts
- Displays HTF bias in dashboard (✅ Aligned / ⚠️ Counter-Trend)
- Doesn't block signals—just warns you
---
### 4. **Retest & Failed Break Detection**
**Retest Logic:**
- After breakout, if price returns to ORB level → shows "🔁 RETEST" label
- Tracks minimum distance traveled (default 0.5%) to avoid labeling tiny bounces
- Useful for re-entry opportunities
**Failed Breaks:**
- If price breaks out but returns inside range within X bars (default 5) → marks as "⚠️ FAILED BREAK"
- Helps identify weak breakouts quickly
- Adjusts cycle count accordingly
---
### 5. **Risk Management & Position Sizing**
#### **Automatic Target/Stop Calculation**
**Stop Loss Methods:**
1. **Smart Adaptive** (Recommended): Adjusts to volatility automatically
2. **ATR-Based**: Uses Average True Range with multiplier
3. **ORB %**: Fixed percentage beyond ORB level
4. **Swing**: Places at recent swing high/low
5. **% Based**: Simple percentage from entry
**Take Profit Targets:**
- **TP1** (1R): Conservative target, 1:1 risk/reward
- **TP1.5** (1.5R): Intermediate target
- **TP2** (2R): Standard target for most traders ⭐
- **TP3** (3R): Extended target for strong trends
*R = Risk units (1R = distance from entry to stop loss)*
#### **Position Sizing Calculator**
Automatically calculates:
- **Max shares** to buy based on your risk tolerance
- **Position value** in dollars
- **Risk amount** (max loss if SL hit)
- **Risk/Reward ratio** for the trade
**Risk Modes:**
- **$ Amount**: Risk fixed dollar amount per trade (e.g., $150)
- **% of Account**: Risk percentage of total account (e.g., 1% of $25,000 = $250)
**Safety Limits:**
- Max position size % of account (prevents over-leverage)
- Multi-currency support with live exchange rates

Bitcoin Power Law Deviation Z-ScoreIntroduction While standard price charts show Bitcoin's exponential growth, it can be difficult to gauge exactly how "overheated" or "cheap" the asset is relative to its historical trend.
This indicator strips away the price action to visualize pure Deviation. It compares the current price to the Bitcoin Power Law "Fair Value" model and plots the result as a normalized Z-Score. This creates a clean oscillator that makes it easy to identify historical cycle tops and bottoms without the noise of a log-scale chart.
How to Read This Indicator The oscillator centers around a zero-line, which represents the mathematical "Fair Value" of the network. 0.0 (Center Line): Price is exactly at the Power Law fair value. Positive Values (+1 to +5): Price is trading at a premium. Historically, values above 4.0 have coincided with cycle peaks (Red Zones). Negative Values (-1 to -3): Price is trading at a discount. Historically, values below -1.0 have been excellent accumulation zones (Green/Blue Zones).
The Math Behind the Model This script uses the same physics-based Power Law parameters as the popular overlay charts: Formula: Price = A * (days since genesis)^b Slope (b): 5.78 Amplitude (A): 1.45 x 10^-17 The "Z-Score" is calculated by taking the logarithmic difference between the actual price and the model price, divided by a standard scaling factor (0.18 log steps).
How to Use Cycle Analysis: Use this tool to spot macro-extremes. Unlike RSI or MACD which reset frequently, this oscillator provides a multi-year view of market sentiment. Confluence: This tool works best when paired with the main "Power Law Rainbow" chart overlay to confirm whether price is hitting major resistance or support bands.
