Celestial StateCelestial State (C1) – Market Bias & Candle Intent Celestial State (C1) is a price-action indicator designed to clarify market bias, momentum, and risk conditions using nothing but candle structure. No indicators. No lag. Just clean candle logic. The tool separates state (what the market is) from intent (what the market is doing right now). 🔹 Core Concept The indicator works on the chart timeframe and uses closed candles only to define market state. It then monitors the current candle to identify: momentum confirmation early warnings potential trap / reversal behaviour 🔹 Market State (Based on C1 – last closed candle) State is derived from the relationship between the last two closed candles: Bull Trend Start Bearish candle → Bullish candle Bull Continuation Bullish candle → Bullish candle Bear Trend Start Bullish candle → Bearish candle Bear Continuation Bearish candle → Bearish candle This defines the directional environment before any decision is made. 🔹 Bias & Momentum (Live Candle) Once state is defined, the current candle is monitored relative to the previous candle’s high and low. Strong Buy Bullish state Previous candle bullish Current candle breaks previous high Strong Sell Bearish state Previous candle bearish Current candle breaks previous low These represent momentum continuation with confirmation. Buy / Sell (Normal Bias) Price is in a bullish or bearish state No momentum break yet This is directional bias without confirmation. Changing Bias Bullish state + previous low broken Bearish state + previous high broken This warns that control is being challenged and conditions may be shifting. 🔹 Flip (Strict Order) A Flip is a high-risk condition where expansion fails: Bull Flip Current candle breaks previous high first, then breaks previous low Bear Flip Current candle breaks previous low first, then breaks previous high This often signals: failed breakouts stop hunts transition zones 🔹 Visual Output Top-right panel shows: Current Celestial State (C1) Current Bias (Strong Buy / Sell / Changing Bias) Short explanation (e.g. High broken, Low broken) On-chart markers are intentionally minimal and offset away from price to reduce clutter. 🔹 Who This Is For This indicator is built for traders who: trade price action want context before execution prefer clarity over complexity understand that bias ≠ entry ⚠️ Disclaimer This tool does not provide entries, exits, or risk management. It is a context and intent framework, not a signal system. Use it as a decision-support layer alongside your own execution rules.

Educational Trend Direction (Up & Down)🔍 Overview This indicator is designed to visually represent trend direction and trend transitions using a simple moving-average relationship. It is built strictly for educational and analytical purposes, allowing users to observe how price behaves during upward and downward market phases without relying on trading signals or predictions. The indicator focuses on trend context, not trade execution. ⚙️ How the Indicator Works The script calculates two exponential moving averages: A fast trend line that reacts quickly to recent price changes A slow trend line that represents broader market direction Trend direction is determined by the relative position of these two lines. When the fast line moves above the slow line, the market is considered to be in an upward trend phase When the fast line moves below the slow line, the market is considered to be in a downward trend phase This relationship helps visualize trend shifts and momentum changes in a simple and intuitive way. 🎨 Visual Components Explained 🟢 Green Trend Line Represents the fast moving average during upward trend phases Indicates that price is maintaining strength relative to the broader trend Color reflects trend direction only, not confirmation or entry 🔴 Red Trend Line Represents the fast moving average during downward trend phases Indicates sustained weakness relative to the broader trend Color does not imply selling or future continuation ⚪ Grey Trend Line Represents the slow moving average Acts as a baseline trend reference Helps distinguish between short-term fluctuations and broader direction 🎨 Background Shading Light green shading appears during upward trend environments Light red shading appears during downward trend environments Background color provides context only and does not signal market actions 🎯 Purpose & Benefits Helps identify trend phases in a clear and minimal way Improves understanding of trend transitions and momentum shifts Reduces visual noise compared to raw price data Encourages context-based analysis instead of signal dependency Suitable for all markets and timeframes ⚠️ Important Notes This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals No targets, stop levels, or performance metrics are included Trend conditions are descriptive, not predictive Past behavior does not guarantee future outcomes Users should always apply their own analysis and risk management when interpreting market data. 📚 Intended Use This tool is intended for: Market trend study Educational demonstrations Visual analysis of trend direction Long-term chart structure awareness It is not intended for automated trading or decision-making.

ES to SPX Lead (RTH Adaptive)Very simple script designed especially to trade CFD but also scalping. Only RTH (you'll understand why) Not a stand-alone indicator, e.g., an external event may hit the index and /ES leading nature will become meaningless. Same with a sudden crash on a Mag7 stock. Uses Z Score to evaluate if /Es is leading SPX (or not) and /ES VWAP to establish bullish (+1) or bearish territory (-1). Histogram is the product of Z Score times VWAP status, red or green depending. Z score goes from -2 to +2. Zscore reading: 0.4 < |Z| < 1.2 is the trading zone. |Z| <0.4 is sort of neutral shifting gears zone, a no-trade and may be transition moment. Middle numbers show max. limits based on actual volatility (i.e. when to exit and when definitely not to enter a trade). Grey stripes is NO TRADE zone. Final number is the composite histogram value. So: Textbook bullish: /ES above VWAP and Z Score positive Textbook negative: /ES below VWAP and Z score negative If Green Histogram & negative Z Score, you may enter bearish pullback trades making sure Z score is in the sweet spot bracket. If Red histogram & negative Z score, it's a conflict state, signals are not alined. Holds a bullish nature but it may be a warning sign. Script produced by Chat GPT after several iterations.

Educational Market Structure & Trend Context🔍 Overview This time-limited indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes only. It helps users visually study price structure behavior and trend context by marking key structural points on the chart and overlaying a trend reference line. The indicator does not generate trading signals, predictions, or recommendations. ⚙️ How the Indicator Works The script analyzes price action over a user-defined lookback period to identify local structural points: Higher Highs within the selected range Lower Lows within the selected range These points are plotted as simple visual markers to help users understand how price is evolving over time. In addition, a moving average is applied to provide broader trend context. 🟢 Green Markers (Structure Strength) Appear when price forms a local higher high within the lookback window Represent relative strength in price structure They are not buy signals and do not indicate future movement 🔴 Red Markers (Structure Weakness) Appear when price forms a local lower low within the lookback window Represent relative weakness in price structure They are not sell signals and do not indicate reversals ➖ Grey Line (Trend Context Line) This line is a moving average calculated over a fixed period It provides trend context only, helping users visually distinguish between upward and downward environments It does not act as support, resistance, or entry guidance 🎨 Background Shading (Optional Context) A subtle background color may appear depending on price position relative to the trend line This shading is purely visual context, not a signal or confirmation 🎯 Purpose & Benefits Helps users study market structure in a clean and simple way Encourages price-action awareness instead of signal dependency Supports manual analysis, learning, and chart reading skills Keeps the chart minimal, non-predictive, and professional ⚠️ Important Notes This indicator does not provide buy/sell signals No targets, stop levels, or profit expectations are included Past structure points do not predict future outcomes Users should apply their own analysis and risk management

SA Range Rank ALOG PRESSURE 1 AND 2This is a 4-candle market mechanic: Bull pattern (orange) Impulse up (strong bullish candle) Stall / absorption (small candle; indecision) Trap down (small bearish candle that fails to continue down) Ignition up (bull candle breaks above the micro-range) Bear pattern (yellow) Impulse down Stall / absorption Trap up Ignition down (bear candle breaks below micro-range) Interpretation: This is “pressure → absorption → reversal ignition.” It’s meant to catch the moment where retail commits late and gets forced out. How to Trade It on 15-Minute 15m is your structure execution timeframe: fewer signals, higher quality. Recommended Indicator Settings (15m /NQ) For CLEAN version (best baseline) Sensitivity: BALANCED Require VWAP bias: ON Require EMA slope: ON Targets: ON Line extend bars: 40–60 For PRO (Looser) (more signals) Keep defaults, then: useVWAP: ON useTrend: ON useRetestHold: OFF (turn ON only if you want A+ only) 15m Entry Rules (Simple + Effective) BULL (orange) Enter on: The close of the signal candle or Next candle if it holds above the breakout area (safer) BEAR (yellow) Enter on: The close of the signal candle or Next candle if it holds below the breakdown area (safer) 15m Risk & Targets STOP = the STOP line PT1 = first scale / partial PT2 = runner target Suggested execution Take 50–70% off at PT1 Move stop to breakeven after PT1 (optional) Hold remainder to PT2 or trail When to IGNORE a 15m signal Skip it if: Signal prints into a major level (prior day high/low, VWAP bands, overnight high/low) You’re in the middle of chop and ATR is collapsing hard The signal prints right before major news (CPI/FOMC) How to Trade It on 1-Minute 1m is your execution / microstructure timeframe: more signals, faster decisions. Recommended Indicator Settings (1m /NQ) CLEAN version (to avoid spam) Sensitivity: STRICT or BALANCED VWAP: ON EMA slope: ON Targets: ON PRO (Looser) (if you WANT frequent scalps) Defaults are fine, but do: useRetestHold: ON (recommended for 1m to avoid fake-outs) Keep VWAP ON 1m Entry Rules (must be disciplined) Best entry method (highest probability) Wait for signal Enter on the first retest/hold (if using retest hold) If not using retest hold: enter only if next bar does not immediately reverse 1m Risk & Targets PTs are ATR-based. On 1m, ATR is smaller, so targets are naturally tighter. Use PT1 as a fast scalp, PT2 as stretch. Suggested execution Take 70–80% off at PT1 Very small runner to PT2 When to ignore 1m signals Skip if: It’s printing against the 15m direction Price is whipping above/below VWAP repeatedly (chop) ATR is extremely low (fake signals) 5) “Permission Layer” (15m → 1m workflow) This is the cleanest way to combine both: Step 1 (15m) Use 15m signals as permission: If 15m prints BULL, then you ONLY take 1m BULL signals for the next 30–90 minutes If 15m prints BEAR, then you ONLY take 1m BEAR signals Step 2 (1m) Use 1m signals for entries and re-entries, with tighter targets. This matches your framework: 15m = “structure gives permission” 1m = “execution extracts” 6) Ready-to-paste TradingView Descriptions A) Description for SA 4-Candle Cycle — CLEAN (ATR Auto Targets) Paste this into your TradingView script description: SA 4-Candle Cycle (CLEAN) identifies a repeatable market mechanic: impulse → stall/absorption → trap → ignition. Orange BULL signals print when a 4-candle bullish reversal/continuation cycle completes and price confirms by breaking above the micro-range. Yellow BEAR signals print on the inverse breakdown cycle. This tool includes ATR-adaptive targets: STOP = volatility-scaled invalidation level (optionally uses the swing reference candle) PT1 / PT2 = first and second profit objectives scaled by ATR Best use 15m: primary signal timeframe (higher quality, fewer signals). Enable VWAP and EMA slope filters for best results. 1m: execution timeframe for scalps and re-entries. Use STRICT/BALANCED sensitivity to reduce noise. Risk note: This is not financial advice. Always manage risk and confirm with your larger structure levels. B) Description for SA 4-Candle ATR-Adaptive Cycle — PRO (Looser) + Auto Targets Paste this into your TradingView script description: SA 4-Candle Cycle (PRO/Looser) is a higher-frequency variant of the 4-candle cycle model designed to print more signals while still respecting ATR-based structure. It detects impulse → absorption → trap → ignition sequences and plots ATR-scaled STOP, PT1, and PT2 levels automatically. Best use 15m: use VWAP + EMA slope filters ON for higher probability. 1m: enable retest/hold if you want A+ entries only and fewer false breaks. This version is ideal when you want earlier detection and more opportunities, while still keeping the risk framework systematic through ATR-adaptive targets. Risk note: This is not financial advice. Use strict risk management. Quick Recommendations (so you don’t get flooded) If you want very high probability: 15m: CLEAN + BALANCED + VWAP ON + EMA slope ON 1m: PRO + VWAP ON + RetestHold ON + (optionally EMA slope ON)

8-Year Cycle 8-Year Cycle Indicator — Description Overview: The 8-Year Cycle Indicator visually highlights repeating 8-year macro cycles on a chart, commonly used for gold, miners, or other long-term assets. It helps traders and investors understand early, mid, and late phases of each cycle to better plan positioning and risk management. Features: Each cycle is 8 years long by default. Each year in the cycle can be assigned a custom color for granular visualization. The last 4 years of a cycle can optionally be highlighted to indicate the late-cycle phase, historically associated with peaks and higher volatility. Vertical lines mark the start of each cycle. Labels display the full cycle period (e.g., 1981–1988). Background shading per year makes it easy to distinguish early, mid, and late cycle stages. Use Cases: Identifying accumulation and topping periods in gold or related assets. Understanding long-term macro trends. Providing visual context for risk management in multi-year cycles. Complementing other technical or macro indicators for strategic positioning.

RMA vs EMA Comparison ToolIf you're looking for a quick entry point to follow a trend, it's best to look at the EMA. If you need confirmation of a long-term trend change or are working with oscillators (like the RSI), use the RMA. What to look for on the chart: Reaction speed: You'll notice that the EMA (red line) adheres much more closely to the price. It reacts more quickly to sharp reversals or impulses. Smoothness: The RMA (blue line) appears smoother and "lazier." It changes direction more slowly, which helps filter out false signals (noise), but allows for a slightly later entry into a trade. Distance: During periods of strong trending, the RMA is usually further from the price than the EMA of the same period.
