📊 Scoring System (0-100)
The Market State Engine evaluates four independent components, each contributing up to 25 points for a maximum total score of 100.
🎯 Component Breakdown
Component Max Points Description
VWAP Context 25 Measures price deviation from session VWAP
Structure Shift 25 Confirms pivot breakout (HARD GATE)
CVD Alignment 25 Detects order flow divergence/confirmation
Time-of-Day 25 Identifies high-probability trading sessions
1️⃣ VWAP Context (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Identifies extreme price deviations from fair value for mean-reversion opportunities.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is calculated session-anchored to New York market time, with standard deviation bands creating zones of opportunity.
Band Structure:
1st Band: ±1σ from VWAP (fair value zone)
2nd Band: ±2σ from VWAP (moderate deviation)
3rd Band: ±3σ from VWAP (extreme deviation)
Scoring Logic (Exclusive):
Price in 3rd VWAP Band (>2σ and ≤3σ) → +25 points
Price in 2nd VWAP Band (>1σ and ≤2σ) → +15 points
Otherwise (inside 1σ or beyond 3σ) → 0 points
Key Insight: The further price stretches from VWAP, the higher the probability of mean reversion.
2️⃣ Structure Shift (Max 25 Points) — HARD GATE
Purpose: Confirms momentum shift through confirmed pivot breakouts.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Structure shift is mandatory. If no valid structure shift occurs, the total score becomes 0 regardless of other factors.
Detection Method:
Uses TradingView's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions with locked parameters:
Left bars: 2
Right bars: 2
Source: Configurable (Wick or Body)
Break confirmation: Candle close only
Bullish Structure Shift:
✅ Prior swing high exists (confirmed pivot)
✅ Current candle closes above swing high + tick buffer
✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
✅ VWAP Filter: Price must be at or below VWAP (lower bands)
Bearish Structure Shift:
✅ Prior swing low exists (confirmed pivot)
✅ Current candle closes below swing low - tick buffer
✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
✅ VWAP Filter: Price must be at or above VWAP (upper bands)
Scoring:
Valid structure shift → +25 points
No structure shift → Total score = 0
Tick Buffer: Default 5 ticks (configurable) - prevents false breaks from minor price noise.
3️⃣ CVD Alignment (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Detects institutional order flow through volume delta analysis.
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) is a proxy for order flow:
Close > Open → +Volume (buying pressure)
Close < Open → -Volume (selling pressure)
Scoring Logic:
Condition Points Description
Divergence +25 Price makes higher high + CVD makes lower high (bearish)
Price makes lower low + CVD makes higher low (bullish)
Confirmation +20 Price and CVD both make higher highs or lower lows
Neutral 0 No clear divergence or confirmation
Lookback Window: Last 20 bars (configurable) - prevents stale divergences.
Key Insight: Divergences suggest weakening momentum, while confirmations validate the trend.
4️⃣ Time-of-Day Context (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Prioritizes high-volume, high-volatility New York sessions.
Scored Sessions (America/New_York timezone):
Session Time Range (NY) Points Description
Pre-Market 03:00 - 04:00 +25 Early liquidity injection
Market Open 09:30 - 11:30 +25 Highest volume period
Off-Hours All other times 0 Lower probability setups
Key Insight: Structure shifts during active sessions have higher follow-through probability.
🏆 Setup Classification
Setups are graded based on total score thresholds (configurable):
Grade Score Range Typical Components Quality Level
A++ Setup ≥90 All 4 factors aligned
(VWAP 3rd band + Structure + CVD + Session) Premium - Rare
A+ Setup ≥75 Structure + VWAP + CVD or Session
(3 of 4 factors) High - Select
A Setup ≥60 Structure + VWAP + Session
(Minimum viable setup) Good - Regular
No Grade <60 Insufficient confluence Filtered out
Default Thresholds:
A Setup: 60 points
A+ Setup: 75 points
A++ Setup: 90 points

💡 Best Practices
1. Use as a Filter, Not a Strategy
❌ Don't: Blindly take every signal
✅ Do: Use score as confluence for your existing analysis
2. Higher Grades = Better Probability
A Setups (60-74): Regular opportunities, still require discretion
A+ Setups (75-89): High-quality, multiple factors aligned
A++ Setups (90-100): Rare premium opportunities, strongest edge
3. Respect the VWAP Zone Filter
The indicator automatically blocks:
Longs in upper VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Shorts in lower VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Trust this logic - it enforces mean reversion discipline.
4. Monitor the Score Panel
Watch which components are scoring to understand why a setup formed:
Missing CVD score? → No order flow confirmation
Missing Time score? → Outside high-volume sessions
Low VWAP score? → Weak deviation from fair value
5. Combine with Risk Management
The indicator provides opportunity scoring, not position sizing:
Use stop losses based on swing structure
Scale position size with setup grade (larger on A++, smaller on A)
Set profit targets at VWAP or opposing band
6. Session Awareness
Prioritize signals during active sessions:
03:00-04:00 NY: Pre-market momentum
09:30-11:30 NY: Highest volume, tightest spreads
Off-hours signals (0 time score) are lower probability but still valid if other factors strong.
7. Understand the Hard Gate
If no structure shift occurs:
Total score = 0
No alerts fire
Other components irrelevant
Why? Structure shift confirms momentum change - without it, there's no tradable opportunity.
8. Avoid Over-Optimization
Default settings are well-calibrated:
Don't chase "perfect" parameters
Test changes on historical data before live use
Document any modifications
9. Leverage Alert De-Duplication
The indicator prevents spam automatically:
One alert per unique swing break
New swing levels = new alerts
No need to manually filter notifications
10. Supplement with Price Action
Use the indicator alongside:
Support/resistance levels
Order flow footprint charts
Volume profile
Market internals (breadth, TICK, etc.)
📚 Example Scenarios
Example 1: A++ Premium Setup (Score: 95)
Price: In lower 3rd VWAP band (-2.8σ) → VWAP: 25 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price LL + CVD HL (bullish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 10:15 AM NY (market open) → Time: 25 pts
Direction: LONG (price below VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A++ (95/100)
Interpretation: All factors aligned - premium mean-reversion long opportunity.
Example 2: A+ Strong Setup (Score: 80)
Price: In upper 2nd VWAP band (+1.5σ) → VWAP: 15 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing low → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price HH + CVD LH (bearish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 2:00 PM NY (off-hours) → Time: 0 pts
Direction: SHORT (price above VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A+ (65/100)
Interpretation: Strong setup despite off-hours, bearish divergence adds confidence.
Example 3: Filtered Setup (Score: 0)
Price: In upper 3rd VWAP band (+2.5σ) → VWAP: 25 pts (if allowed)
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: BLOCKED
CVD: Price HH + CVD HH (confirmation) → CVD: 20 pts (if allowed)
Time: 10:00 AM NY → Time: 25 pts (if allowed)
Direction: LONG (price ABOVE VWAP) → ❌ INVALID ZONE
Grade: None (0/100) - NO ALERT
Interpretation: VWAP filter blocked long signal in upper band - prevents counter-trend trade.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
No Signals Appearing
✅ Verify you're on 1-minute chart
✅ Check Tick Size matches your symbol
✅ Ensure VWAP Bands are visible
✅ Wait for confirmed pivots (requires at least 5 bars of history)
Alerts Not Firing
✅ Confirm alert is set to "Once Per Bar Close"
✅ Check score threshold (must be ≥60 by default)
✅ Verify VWAP zone filter isn't blocking signals
✅ Check that structure shift is actually occurring
Score Always Zero
✅ No structure shift detected (hard gate active)
✅ Price may not be in valid VWAP zone (2nd or 3rd band)
✅ Insufficient swing history (wait for pivots to form)
Too Many/Too Few Signals
Too many signals:
Increase A Setup Threshold (e.g., 70 instead of 60)
Increase Tick Buffer Count (reduces false breaks)
Too few signals:
Decrease A Setup Threshold (e.g., 50 instead of 60)
Decrease Tick Buffer Count (more sensitive to breaks)

TSLA Cycle Timing - 122-Day Reversal Map (Adaptive Framework)This indicator is a timing map built specifically for Tesla (TSLA) on the Daily chart. It plots a repeating set of vertical, color-coded timing markers inside a 122-bar cycle (commonly treated as ~122 trading days on the Daily timeframe). These markers highlight reversal “zones”—areas where TSLA has historically shown a tendency to pivot from high-to-low and low-to-high within the cycle.
The script includes:
23 TSLA-derived set points (Points 1–23): the core timing map used to mark the most repeatable reversal areas.
Two optional “Inversion Points” (INV A / INV B): manual markers you can enable when TSLA’s high/low sequence appears to flip due to a structural deviation.
One additional optional marker (OPT C) for user customization.
This is not an auto-buy/sell system. It is a cycle-structure framework designed to help you anticipate when a reversal is more likely to occur, so you can combine it with your own confirmation tools (price action, trend context, support/resistance, volume, etc.).
Definitions (How this script interprets highs/lows)
In the context of cycle mapping:
A High Point is the highest price reached between two neighboring high pivots.
A Low Point is the lowest price reached between two neighboring low pivots.
The vertical lines are timing markers, not “guaranteed pivot candles.” Price may top/bottom slightly before or after a line. That’s why the script includes an optional ± window (in bars) to visualize a small tolerance zone around each marker.
How it works (Conceptually)
The script defines a repeating cycle length (default 122 bars).
Inside each cycle, each point has an offset measured in bars from the cycle start.
For every cycle instance (past, current, and optional future cycles), the script draws:
a vertical dotted line at each enabled point offset
optional ± window bands around the line
optional labels (numbers for set points and “INV” labels for inversion points)
Because this is a Tesla-specific map, the default offsets for Points 1–23 are preconfigured based on TSLA’s observed structure, and the remaining optional points are user-controlled.
How to Use (Important)
1) Use the Daily chart first
This model is designed around TSLA’s Daily cycle behavior. Start with:
Symbol: TSLA
Timeframe: 1D
If you use other timeframes, the cycle “tempo” can change and may require different offsets.
2) Identify the cycle start (anchor)
Cycle mapping depends on where the current cycle is anchored.
Use “Bars Back to Current Cycle Start” to shift the cycle start so that the script’s point sequence aligns with your most recent known cycle beginning. Once aligned, the points should repeat near each 122-bar interval.
3) Read the vertical markers as reversal zones
The colored vertical lines represent areas where reversals have historically occurred, not a promise that price must reverse exactly on the line.
A practical approach:
Use the marker as a “heads-up” zone
Wait for confirmation (trend break, candle structure, momentum shift, key level reaction, etc.)
4) Understand “set points” vs “Inversion Points”
Set Points (1–23)
These are the primary TSLA reversal zones that tend to recur within the 122-bar structure. Specific numbered points often appear near the same relative position inside each cycle.
Inversion Points (INV A / INV B)
Occasionally, TSLA’s cycle behavior can flip—meaning the expected high-to-low (or low-to-high) progression temporarily swaps order. This is what I refer to as an inversion.
When you see a cycle behaving “backwards” relative to the usual sequence:
Enable INV A and/or INV B
Place their offsets at the bar locations where the flip becomes obvious
Use these markers as manual annotations so your cycle notes stay consistent even when TSLA deviates from its typical rhythm
These inversion markers do not force the script to predict a flip—they allow you to document it cleanly.
5) Use the ± Window Bands to manage real-world variance
Markets don’t pivot on perfect timestamps. If a reversal tends to happen “around” a point:
Enable ± Window Bands
Set Window ± Bars (commonly 1–3 bars on 1D)
This gives a realistic visual tolerance zone around each timing marker.
Settings Guide (Practical)
Cycle Length (bars): 122 (TSLA Daily baseline)
Lookback Bars: increase to study more history, decrease for performance
Future Cycles: use sparingly; future markers are guidance zones, not guarantees
Past Cycles: Lines Only: recommended ON for stable performance
Labels at Top: helps keep the chart clean and readable
Final Notes / Limitations
This is a historical timing framework designed to map TSLA’s repeating reversal structure. It helps estimate when reversal pressure tends to appear, but it does not replace risk management or confirmation. Cycle behavior can stretch, compress, or invert during unusual volatility regimes—hence the inclusion of optional inversion markers.
StO Price Action - Impulse CandleShort Summary
- Highlights impulse candles based on relative momentum
- Compares current or previous closed candles against prior price movement
- Uses a configurable momentum factor to filter significant impulses
- Designed to make strong directional candles visually stand out
Full Description
Overview
- Identifies impulse candles with strong momentum
- Focuses on candle-to-candle expansion rather than trend or structure
- Intended to visually emphasize moments of acceleration in price
- Works as a complementary tool to price action and volatility analysis
Impulse Candle Logic
- Impulse candles are detected by comparing the current candle range to previous candles
- A candle is considered an impulse when its range exceeds prior movement by a defined factor
- The comparison basis can be (current forming Candle, previous fully closed Candle)
Momentum Factor
- The momentum factor defines how much stronger a candle must be compared to earlier candles
- Higher values filter out smaller moves and highlight only extreme impulses
- Lower values allow more frequent impulse detection
- Helps adapt the indicator to different instruments and volatility regimes
Range Calculation
- Two range calculation modes are available:
- Open / Close (Body range):
- Measures body-based momentum
- Focuses on directional conviction
- High / Low (Candle range):
- Measures full volatility expansion
- Includes wicks and intrabar extremes
Visualization
- Impulse candles are highlighted using a customizable bar color
- Designed to remain minimal and unobtrusive
Alerts
- Optional alert can be enabled after detected impulse candles
- Useful for monitoring momentum shifts without constant screen time
Usage
- Suitable for breakout detection and momentum confirmation
- Helps identify volatility expansion phases
- Can be used for entry timing or trade management
Notes
- This indicator does not predict direction on its own
- Impulse candles may occur in both trending and ranging markets
- Best used in combination with structure, levels or higher-timeframe context
- Momentum thresholds should be adjusted per market and timeframe

MACD 12-26-9 with Slope, Convergence & Divergence1. Core Indicator: MACD (12-26-9)
The script uses the standard MACD:
Fast EMA: 12
Slow EMA: 26
Signal EMA: 9
It plots:
MACD Line → short-term vs long-term momentum
Signal Line → smoothed MACD
Histogram → distance between MACD and Signal
2. Histogram Slope (Momentum Acceleration)
What it is
The slope measures how fast the MACD histogram is changing.
histSlope = hist - hist
What it tells you
Positive slope → momentum accelerating
Negative slope → momentum slowing
Slope flip → early momentum shift (often before MACD cross)
Why it matters
MACD crosses are lagging.
Histogram slope gives early warning of momentum changes.
3. Convergence & Divergence (MACD vs Signal)
How it’s calculated
The script measures the distance between the MACD and Signal lines:
distance = abs(macdLine - signalLine)
Convergence → distance is shrinking
Divergence → distance is expanding
Interpretation
Convergence = compression / energy building
Divergence = expansion / trend strength or exhaustion
This is not price divergence, but internal momentum structure.
4. MACD Perimeter Threshold (Momentum Filter)
What it is
Horizontal bands above and below zero that define a “noise zone”.
Inside perimeter → weak / choppy momentum
Outside perimeter → strong momentum
Why it’s useful
Filters low-quality MACD crosses
Identifies compression → expansion
Helps spot trend exhaustion when momentum fades outside the band
5. Visual Encoding (What you see)
Histogram colors
Bright green / red → strong acceleration
Dull green / maroon → weakening momentum
Gray → indecision
MACD line color
Yellow → converging (compression)
Orange → diverging (expansion)
Blue → neutral
Markers
Up triangle → bullish convergence
Down triangle → bearish divergence
6. How traders use this indicator
Trend continuation
MACD above zero
Histogram positive
Slope rising
Divergence expanding
➡ Strong trend continuation
Pullback entries
Trend intact
Histogram pulls back toward zero
Slope turns up again
➡ High-probability re-entry
Breakout anticipation
Long convergence
Histogram flattening
Sudden slope expansion
➡ Breakout likely
Exhaustion warning
Large divergence
Histogram slope weakens
Momentum fails to expand
➡ Trend may stall or reverse
7. Best use cases
Works best as a momentum confirmation tool
Combine with:
Market structure
Support / resistance
Moving averages
Volume or Force Index
Week High/LowThis indicator plots the Previous Week High and Low as two horizontal dashed lines.
It is designed to appear only on the Daily (D) and Weekly (W) timeframes, ensuring a clean higher-timeframe context without lower-timeframe noise.
The levels are calculated from the completed weekly candle and automatically update at the start of each new week.
These levels serve as weekly liquidity references, commonly used to assess premium/discount zones, potential stop-run areas, and higher-timeframe market reactions.
Daily Support/Resistance Points (Historical Days)indicator plots support and resistance levels derived from historical price action. It analyzes higher‑timeframe candles (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) and ranks levels by strength and number of touches, then draws the most relevant levels around the current price. If no strong levels are found, it falls back to touch‑based levels so you still get meaningful lines.
How to Use:
Add the script to any chart.
Choose Levels Timeframe:
Auto (recommended): follows the chart timeframe (D/W/M).
D / W / M: force a specific timeframe.
Set lookback windows:
Lookback Days (D) – default 200
Lookback Weeks (W) – default 104
Lookback Months (M) – default 60
Adjust sensitivity:
Min Strength – filters weaker levels.
Volume Multiplier – requires higher volume for stronger levels.
Time Decay – gives more weight to recent data.
Min Touches (Fallback) – used when no strong levels are found.
Optional: enable Show Debug Info to see how many levels are detected.

Pivot Point Usage: Instead of detecting each candle of an opposite color, the script uses `ta.pivothigh/low`. This means it only marks a Pivot Point if the price has actually made a significant high or low relative to the 10 preceding and following candles.
Dynamic Cleanup (Mitigation): As soon as the price returns to "fill" the area (depending on your choice: simple contact or close), the box disappears from the chart. This keeps your view clean and focused on the remaining untouched areas.
Period Setting: You can increase the "Detection Period" (e.g., from 10 to 20) in the settings to filter out even more noise and keep only the major areas.

CVD-MACD### CVD-MACD (Research)
The CVD-MACD is a research-oriented indicator that combines Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with the classic MACD framework to provide insights into market momentum and potential reversals. Unlike a standard MACD based on price, this version uses CVD (the running total of buy vs. sell volume delta) as its input source, offering a volume-driven perspective on trend strength and divergences.
Key Features:
- **CVD-Based MACD Calculation**: Computes MACD using CVD instead of price, highlighting volume imbalances that may precede price moves.
- **Dual Divergence Detection**: Identifies bullish/bearish divergences on both the MACD line and histogram, with configurable pivot lookbacks and filters (e.g., momentum decay and zero-side consistency).
- **Visual Flexibility**: Toggle divergences in the indicator pane or overlaid on the main chart, with optional raw CVD line for reference.
- **Alerts**: Built-in conditions for bullish and bearish divergences to notify users of potential setups.
###This indicator is designed for research and experimentation—it's not financial advice. It performs best on liquid assets with reliable volume data (e.g., stocks, futures). I've shared this to gather community feedback: please test it thoroughly and point out any bugs, inefficiencies, or improvements! For example, if you spot issues with divergence detection on certain timeframes or symbols, let me know in the comments. Your input will help refine it.
Inspired by volume analysis techniques; open to collaborations or forks.
## User Manual for CVD-MACD (Research)
### Overview
The CVD-MACD indicator transforms traditional MACD by using Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) as the base input. CVD accumulates the net delta between estimated buy and sell volume per bar, providing a volume-centric view of momentum. The indicator plots a MACD line, signal line, and histogram, while also detecting divergences on both the MACD line and histogram for potential reversal signals.
This manual covers setup, interpretation, and troubleshooting.
Note: This is a research tool—backtest and validate on your own data before using in live trading.
### Installation and Setup
1. **Add to Chart**: Search for "CVD-MACD (Research)" in TradingView's indicator library or paste the script into the Pine Editor and add it to your chart.
2. **Compatibility**: Works on any timeframe and symbol with volume data. Best on daily/intraday charts for stocks, forex, or futures. Avoid illiquid symbols where volume may be unreliable.
3. **Customization**: All inputs are configurable via the indicator's settings panel. Defaults are optimized for general use but can be tuned based on asset volatility.
### Input Parameters
The inputs are grouped for ease of use:
#### MACD Settings
- **Fast EMA (CVD)** (default: 12): Length of the fast EMA applied to CVD. Shorter values make it more responsive to recent volume changes.
- **Slow EMA (CVD)** (default: 26): Length of the slow EMA on CVD. Longer values smooth out noise for trend identification.
- **Signal EMA** (default: 9): Smoothing period for the signal line (EMA of the MACD line).
#### Divergence Logic (MACD Line)
- **Pivot Lookback (MACD Line)** (default: 5): Bars to look left/right for detecting pivots on the MACD line. Higher values detect larger swings but may miss smaller divergences.
- **Max Lookback Range (MACD Line)** (default: 50): Maximum bars between two pivots to consider a divergence valid. Prevents detecting outdated signals.
- **Enable Momentum Decay Filter (Histogram)** (default: false): When enabled, requires the histogram to show decaying momentum (absolute value decreasing) for MACD-line divergences to trigger.
#### Histogram Divergence
- **Pivot Lookback (Histogram)** (default: 5): Similar to above, but for histogram pivots.
- **Max Lookback Range (Histogram)** (default: 50): Max bars for histogram divergence detection.
- **Show Histogram Divergences in Indicator Pane** (default: true): Displays dashed lines and "H" labels for histogram divergences in the sub-window.
- **Show Histogram Divergences on Main Chart** (default: true): Overlays histogram divergences on the price chart with semi-transparent lines and labels.
- **Require Histogram to Stay on Same Side of Zero** (default: true): Filters divergences to only those where the histogram doesn't cross zero between pivots, ensuring consistent momentum direction.
#### Visuals (Dual View)
- **Show MACD-Line Divergences (Indicator Pane)** (default: true): Draws solid lines and "L" labels for MACD-line divergences in the sub-window.
- **Show MACD-Line Divergences (Main Chart)** (default: true): Overlays MACD-line divergences on the price chart.
- **Show Raw CVD Line** (default: false): Plots the underlying CVD as a faint gray line for reference.
### How to Interpret the Indicator
1. **Core Plots**:
- **MACD Line** (blue): Difference between fast and slow CVD EMAs. Above zero indicates building buy volume momentum; below zero shows sell dominance.
- **Signal Line** (orange): EMA of the MACD line. Crossovers can signal potential entries/exits (e.g., MACD above signal = bullish).
- **Histogram** (columns): MACD minus signal. Green shades for positive/expanding bars (bullish momentum); red for negative/contracting (bearish). Fading colors indicate weakening momentum.
- **Zero Line** (gray horizontal): Reference for bullish (above) vs. bearish (below) territory.
- **Raw CVD** (optional gray line): The cumulative buy-sell delta. Rising = net buying; falling = net selling.
2. **Divergences**:
- **Bullish (Green Lines/Labels)**: Occur when price makes lower lows, but MACD line or histogram makes higher lows. Suggests weakening downside momentum and potential reversal up. Look for "L" (MACD line) or "H" (histogram) labels.
- **Bearish (Red Lines/Labels)**: Price higher highs vs. MACD/histogram lower highs. Indicates fading upside and possible downturn.
- **Dual View**: Divergences appear in the indicator pane (sub-window) for clean analysis and overlaid on the main chart for price context. Histogram divergences use dashed lines to distinguish from MACD-line (solid).
- **Filters**: Momentum decay ensures only "hidden" or weakening divergences trigger. Zero-side filter prevents false signals from oscillating histograms.
3. **Alerts**:
- **Bullish Divergence (L or H)**: Triggers on either MACD-line or histogram bullish divergence. Message: "CVD-MACD Bullish Divergence detected on {{ticker}}".
- **Bearish Divergence (L or H)**: Similar for bearish. Use TradingView's alert setup to notify via email/SMS/webhook.
- Tip: Combine with price action (e.g., support/resistance) for confirmation.
### Usage Tips and Strategies
- **Trend Confirmation**: Use in uptrends for bullish divergences (pullback buys) or downtrends for bearish (short entries).
- **Timeframe Selection**: Higher timeframes (e.g., daily) for swing trading; lower (e.g., 15-min) for intraday. Adjust pivot lookbacks accordingly (shorter for faster charts).
- **Combination Ideas**: Pair with RSI for overbought/oversold confirmation or VWAP for intraday volume context.
- **Risk Management**: Divergences are probabilistic—not guarantees. Always use stop-losses based on recent swings.
- **Performance Notes**: Backtest on historical data via TradingView's Strategy Tester. CVD relies on accurate volume; test on exchanges like NYSE/NASDAQ.
### Known Limitations and Troubleshooting
- **Volume Dependency**: CVD estimation assumes linear buy/sell distribution based on bar position—may be less accurate on thin markets or during gaps.
- **Repainting**: Pivots and divergences can repaint as new data arrives (common in pivot-based indicators). Use on closed bars for reliability.
- **Resource Usage**: High max_bars_back (5000) ensures deep history; reduce if chart loads slowly.
- **No Signals on Low-Volume Bars**: If CVD flatlines, check symbol volume—some crypto/forex pairs have inconsistent data.
- **Community Feedback**: If you encounter bugs (e.g., false divergences on specific symbols/timeframes), missing alerts, or calculation errors, please comment below with details like symbol, timeframe, and screenshots. Suggestions for enhancements (e.g., more filters or visuals) are welcome!
