Blick Trades Position Size CalculatorThe Blick Trades Position Size indicator is a comprehensive Position Size Calculator designed for futures traders on TradingView. It automatically detects the asset type (Gold, Nasdaq, or ES futures - both regular and micro contracts) and calculates the optimal number of contracts to trade based on your risk amount and stop loss price.
The indicator features a "Maximize Risk" option that intelligently switches between regular and micro contracts to get as close as possible to your target risk amount, plus support for limit orders with custom entry prices. It displays visual elements on the chart including entry and stop loss lines with live risk calculations, and uses an asset-specific display system so you can control which charts show the indicator (preventing parameter confusion when switching between different futures contracts).
The calculator handles all the complex math automatically - just input your risk amount and stop loss, and it tells you exactly how many contracts to trade while showing your precise dollar risk in real-time.

📖 How to Read the Indicator
⚠️ CRITICAL: Always analyze LSR together with Open Interest (OI)
Key Levels:
LSR = 1.0 (gray dashed line) = Balance - Equal longs and shorts
LSR > 1.0 = More longs than shorts (bullish sentiment)
LSR < 1.0 = More shorts than longs (bearish sentiment)
Extreme Zones:
LSR > 1.5 (green zone) = Very bullish - Possible market top
LSR < 0.5 (red zone) = Very bearish - Possible market bottom
Why Open Interest Matters:
LSR alone doesn't tell the full story. You MUST check Open Interest:
Rising OI + High LSR (>1.5) = New longs opening → Strong momentum OR potential trap
Rising OI + Low LSR (<0.5) = New shorts opening → Strong momentum OR potential trap
Falling OI + Extreme LSR = Positions closing → Weak signal, avoid trading
Stable OI + Extreme LSR = No new positions → Less reliable signal
💡 Trading Interpretation
⚠️ ALWAYS combine LSR with Open Interest analysis!
Contrarian Strategy (High Leverage Zones):
High LSR (>1.5) + Rising OI → Many new longs → Potential short squeeze OR reversal down
Low LSR (<0.5) + Rising OI → Many new shorts → Potential long squeeze OR reversal up
Trend Confirmation:
Rising LSR + Rising price + Rising OI = Strong bullish trend with new positions
Falling LSR + Falling price + Rising OI = Strong bearish trend with new positions
Weak Signals (Avoid):
Extreme LSR + Falling OI = Positions closing → Low conviction
Extreme LSR + Stable OI = No new money → Wait for confirmation
Divergences:
Price higher highs but LSR falling + Rising OI = Bearish divergence (shorts accumulating)
Price lower lows but LSR rising + Rising OI = Bullish divergence (longs accumulating)
Best Setups:
Reversal: Extreme LSR (>1.5 or <0.5) + Rising OI + Price rejection
Trend: LSR trending with price + Steadily rising OI
Caution: Extreme LSR + Falling OI = Ignore signal
Built-in Alerts
The indicator includes 4 preset alerts:
LSR Crossed Above 1.0 - Market turned bullish
LSR Crossed Below 1.0 - Market turned bearish
LSR Very High - Above 1.5 (possible top)
LSR Very Low - Below 0.5 (possible bottom)
To Set Up Alerts:
Click the "..." on the indicator
Select "Add Alert"
Choose the condition you want
Configure notification method
Best Practices
MANDATORY: Always add Open Interest indicator to your chart alongside LSR
To add OI: Click Indicators → Search "Open Interest" → Add official TradingView OI
Use on perpetual futures charts (symbols ending in .P)
Works best on USDT pairs (BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, etc.)
Combine LSR + OI + price action + support/resistance levels
Higher timeframes (4h, 1D) give more reliable signals
Don't trade LSR extremes without confirming OI direction
Golden Rule: Rising OI = Strong signal | Falling OI = Weak signal
⚠️ Important Notes
Indicator requires TradingView Premium or above (uses Request library)
Only works on crypto perpetual futures
Data availability depends on exchange API
NA values mean data is not available for that exchange/symbol
Never use LSR without Open Interest context
Aggregated Open Interest Multi-Exchange (USD)This indicator aggregates Open Interest (OI) data from multiple major cryptocurrency exchanges into a single unified view in USD, using data available on TradingView. It automatically adapts to the asset you're viewing on the chart.
Features:
Aggregates OI from 7 major exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Deribit, HTX, and Coinbase
All values converted to USD - unlike native OI which shows contracts/coins
Uses only data available on TradingView platform
Automatically detects the asset from your chart (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
True apples-to-apples comparison across exchanges
Displays as candlesticks showing OI open, high, low, and close
Toggle exchanges on/off individually
Handles different contract types per exchange automatically
Why USD conversion matters:
Traditional OI indicators show values in contracts or crypto units, making it difficult to compare across exchanges. This indicator converts everything to USD, giving you the real dollar value of open positions across all exchanges.
How it works:
Simply add the indicator to any crypto perpetual futures chart. It will automatically fetch and aggregate OI data from all supported exchanges for that asset using TradingView's built-in data feeds, converting everything to USD.
Supported Exchanges:
Binance, Bybit, Bitget, HTX: USDT perpetuals
Deribit: BTC/ETH use USD contracts, others use USDC
OKX: Contract-based (automatically converted)
Coinbase: USDC perpetuals
Perfect for traders who want a comprehensive view of total market Open Interest in USD across exchanges using reliable TradingView data.
Adaptive Trend Breaks Adaptive Trend Breaks
## WHAT IT DOES
This script is a modified and enhanced version of "Trendline Breakouts With Targets" concept by ChartPrime.
Adaptive Trend Breaks (ATB) is a trendline breakout system optimized for scalping liquid futures contracts. The indicator automatically draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on pivot points, then generates trade signals when price breaks through these levels with confirmation filters. It includes automated target and stop-loss placement with real-time P&L tracking in dollars.
## HOW IT WORKS
**Trendline Detection Method:**
The indicator uses pivot high/low detection to identify significant price turning points. When a new pivot forms, it calculates the slope between consecutive pivots to draw dynamic trendlines. These lines extend forward based on the established trend angle, creating actionable support and resistance zones.
**Band System:**
Around each trendline, the script creates a "band" using a volatility-adjusted calculation: `ATR(14) * 0.2 * bandwidth multiplier / 2`. This adaptive band accounts for current market conditions - wider during volatile periods, tighter during quiet markets.
**Breakout Logic:**
A breakout signal triggers when:
1. Price closes beyond the trendline + band zone
2. Volume exceeds the 20-period moving average by your set multiplier (default 1.2x)
3. Price is within Regular Trading Hours (9:30-16:00 EST) if session filter enabled
4. Current ATR meets minimum volatility threshold (prevents trading dead markets)
**Target & Stop Calculation:**
Upon breakout confirmation:
- **Entry**: Trendline breach point
- **Target**: Entry ± (bandwidth × target multiplier) - default 8x for quick scalps
- **Stop**: Entry ± (bandwidth × stop multiplier) - default 8x for 1:1 risk/reward
- Multipliers adjust automatically to market volatility through the ATR-based band
**P&L Conversion:**
The script converts point movements to dollars using:
```
Dollar P&L = (Price Points × Contract Point Value × Quantity)
```
For example, a 10-point NQ move with 2 contracts = 10 × $20 × 2 = $400
## HOW TO USE IT
**Setup:**
1. Select your instrument (NQ/ES/YM/RTY) - point values auto-configure
2. Set contract quantity for accurate dollar P&L
3. Choose pivot period (lower = more signals but more noise, default 5 for scalping)
4. Adjust bandwidth multiplier if trendlines are too tight/loose (1-5 range)
**Filters Configuration:**
- **Volume Filter**: Requires breakout volume > moving average × multiplier. Increase multiplier (1.5-2.0) for higher conviction trades
- **Session Filter**: Enable to trade only RTH. Disable for 24-hour trading
- **ATR Filter**: Prevents signals during low volatility. Increase minimum % for more active markets only
**Risk Management:**
- Set target/stop multipliers based on your risk tolerance
- 8x bandwidth = approximately 1:1 risk/reward for most liquid futures
- Enable trailing stops for trend-following approach (moves stop to protect profits)
- Adjust line length to see targets further into the future
**Statistics Table:**
- Choose timeframe to analyze: all-time, today, this week, custom days
- Monitor win rate, profit factor, and net P&L in dollars
- Track long vs short performance separately
- See real-time unrealized P&L on active trades
**Reading Signals:**
- **Green triangle below bar** = Long breakout (resistance broken)
- **Red triangle above bar** = Short breakout (support broken)
- **White dashed line** = Entry price
- **Orange line** = Take profit target with dollar value
- **Red line** = Stop loss with dollar value
- **Green checkmark (✓)** = Target hit, winning trade
- **Red X (✗)** = Stop hit, losing trade
## WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
**Limitations to Understand:**
- Does not predict future trendline formations - it reacts to breakouts after they occur
- Historical trendlines disappear after breakout (not kept on chart for clarity)
- Requires sufficient volatility - may not signal in extremely quiet markets
- Volume filter requires exchange volume data (not available on all symbols)
- Statistics are indicator-based simulations, not actual trading results
- Does not account for slippage, commissions, or order fills
## BEST PRACTICES
**Recommended Settings by Market:**
- **NQ (Nasdaq)**: Default settings work well, consider volume multiplier 1.3-1.5
- **ES (S&P 500)**: Slightly slower, try period 7-8, volume 1.2
- **YM (Dow)**: Lower volatility, reduce bandwidth to 1.5-2
- **RTY (Russell)**: Higher volatility, increase bandwidth to 3-4
**Risk Management:**
- Never risk more than 2-3% of account per trade
- Use contract quantity calculator: Max Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × Point Value)
- Start with 1 contract while learning the system
- Backtest your specific timeframe and instrument before live trading
**Optimization Tips:**
- Increase pivot period (7-10) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- Raise volume multiplier (1.5-2.0) in choppy markets
- Lower target/stop multipliers (5-6x) for tighter profit taking
- Use trailing stops in strong trending conditions
- Disable session filter for overnight gaps and Asia session moves
## TECHNICAL DETAILS
**Key Calculations:**
- Pivot Detection: `ta.pivothigh(high, period, period/2)` and `ta.pivotlow(low, period, period/2)`
- Slope Calculation: `(newPivot - oldPivot) / (newTime - oldTime)`
- Adaptive Band: `min(ATR(14) * 0.2, close * 0.002) * multiplier / 2`
- Breakout Confirmation: Price crosses trendline + 10% of band threshold
**Data Requirements:**
- Minimum bars in view: 500 for proper pivot calculation
- Volume data required for volume filter accuracy
- Intraday timeframes recommended (1min - 15min) for scalping
- Works on any timeframe but optimized for fast execution
**Performance Metrics:**
All statistics calculate based on indicator signals:
- Tracks every signal as a trade from entry to TP/SL
- P&L in actual contract dollar values
- Win rate = (Winning trades / Total trades) × 100
- Profit factor = Gross profit / Gross loss
- Separates long/short performance for bias analysis
## IDEAL FOR
- Futures scalpers and day traders
- Traders who prefer visual trendline breakouts
- Those wanting automated TP/SL placement
- Traders tracking performance in dollar terms
- Multiple timeframe analysis (compare 1min vs 5min signals)
## NOT SUITABLE FOR
- Swing trading (targets too close)
- Stocks/forex without modifying point values
- Extremely low timeframes (<30 seconds) - too much noise
- Markets without volume data if using volume filter
- Illiquid contracts (signals may not execute at shown prices)
---
**Settings Summary:**
- Core: Period, bandwidth, extension, trendline style
- Filters: Volume, RTH session, ATR volatility
- Risk: R:R ratio, target/stop multipliers, trailing stop
- Display: Stats table position, size, colors
- Stats: Timeframe selection (all-time to custom days)

CISD & OB [BLAZ]Version 1.0 – Published October 2025: Initial release
1. Overview & Purpose
The CISD & OB indicator identifies and plots Order Blocks (OB) and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD) on price charts using a strict rule-based approach designed to highlight structural turning points and continuation zones in price action. It automatically detects these formations when price creates confirmed swing highs or lows, followed by opposing directional moves that break predefined structural levels.
Detection logic is consistently applied across all market conditions, allowing the indicator to identify areas where notable price reactions or liquidity shifts have occurred. These levels are plotted as horizontal lines on the chart and are updated in real time to reflect the latest structural developments, helping traders visualise potential reversal or continuation zones.
The methodology used in this indicator represents the author's specific approach to Order Block and CISD identification, incorporating custom criteria for swing validation and confirmation logic that differ from standard implementations. Detection operates entirely mechanically, without discretionary intervention, to ensure consistency and objectivity across use cases. This indicator functions on all standard timeframes and supports multiple asset classes, including Forex, Stocks, Cryptocurrencies, Futures, and Commodities.
The indicator is unique in its ability to apply detection logic to a custom timeframe, enabling multi-timeframe structural analysis without switching charts. Let’s begin by explaining key terminologies based on the author’s perception to aid in understanding the functionality of the indicator.
2. Order Block (OB)
An Order Block is identified when price creates a swing high or swing low followed by a directional move that closes beyond the open of the opposing candle(s) structure.
2.1. For bearish Order Blocks:
Price must form a confirmed swing high (higher than surrounding candles).
A subsequent bearish candle must close below the open of the bullish candle(s) that created the swing high.
2.2. For bullish Order Blocks:
Price must form a confirmed swing low (lower than surrounding candles).
A subsequent bullish candle must close above the open of the bearish candle(s) that created the swing low.
The indicator only validates Order Blocks where the structural formation meets minimum swing criteria and the confirming move demonstrates sufficient momentum beyond the identified level.
3. Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
A CISD occurs when a valid Order Block forms in the opposite direction to the previously confirmed Order Block, indicating a potential shift in market structure.
3.1. Formation criteria:
A bullish CISD forms when a valid bullish Order Block is detected after the most recent confirmed structure was a bearish Order Block.
A bearish CISD forms when a valid bearish Order Block is detected after the most recent confirmed structure was a bullish Order Block.
Each CISD represents the first opposing Order Block in a sequence, distinguishing it from continuation Order Blocks that follow in the same direction.
The indicator tracks the sequence of Order Block formations to automatically classify each new structure as either a CISD (directional change) or continuation Order Block based on the preceding confirmed structure.
4. Detection Logic & Visual Management
The indicator continuously scans price action in real time, validating only those patterns that meet predefined technical thresholds. Once a structure is confirmed, it is plotted as a horizontal line extending from the origin candle’s open to the confirming close.
To maintain chart clarity, the script integrates automatic display management, limiting the number of plotted lines according to user-defined settings. Independent styling options are available for bullish and bearish structures, including colour, width, and line thickness. CISD and OB structures are styled separately to provide a clear distinction between reversal and continuation events.
Developing structures appear as dotted potential horizontal lines until they are validated, at which point they transition to solid lines. The indicator also allows users to restrict visibility of plotted lines above a selected timeframe, ensuring that higher timeframe charts remain clean and readable.
If configuration settings conflict, such as incompatible timeframe or visibility filters, the indicator displays on-chart warning messages to guide users in adjusting their setup appropriately.
The indicator supports multi-timeframe plotting capability, allowing structures identified on higher timeframes to be visualised directly on the active lower timeframe chart. This feature allows traders to observe how market structures align across multiple timeframes, providing greater confirmation of overall trend direction, reinforcing analytical confidence through cross‑timeframe confluence, and ensuring short‑term decisions remain aligned with the prevailing market context.
Traders can configure alerts to receive notifications when new CISD or OB structures are confirmed. Alerts are fully customisable via the indicator input settings and can be defined by direction (bullish/bearish) and pattern type (OB or CISD).

Futures Day Trading Key Levels by Dhawal Ranka
Hey everyone, thank you for using this script, let me know in the comments how you feel about it!
What this script does:
This indicator renders one consolidated map of intraday reference levels for futures (e.g., ES, NQ, GC, CL). It is session-aware and draws:
- Previous ETH day High/Low/Close
- Previous RTH High/Low/Close (built from your RTH session)
- Today’s developing RTH High/Low and Mid
- Overnight (ON) session High/Low
- Opening Range (first N minutes of RTH): OR High/Low
- VWAP (day-anchored) with optional ±σ bands
- Floor Pivots (PP/R1/S1/R2/S2) from prior ETH daily bar
- ADR projections (Up/Down) using a configurable lookback and anchor
- Settlement: prior official settlement and today’s projected settle (with manual override)
- Weekly/Monthly context: prior W/M High/Low/Close and current W/M Open
- Minimal right-edge text tags (instead of big boxes) that sit on the price scale line and auto-pack when levels coincide
All lines extend across the chart to make confluence obvious without clutter.
How it works (methods & calculations)
Sessions
The script exposes two user sessions and a time zone:
RTH (e.g., 09:30–16:00 America/New_York)
ON (e.g., 18:00–09:29 America/New_York)
Session membership is computed with time(timeframe, session, tz) != 0.
RTH H/L/C (prev) are aggregated intrabar: on RTH start we seed H/L; while inRTH we update; on RTH end we store the close.
Previous Day (ETH) levels
request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", high /low /close ) supplies PDH/PDL/PDC on the continuous ETH daily.
Opening Range
On RTH start we mark orStartTime.
While RTH is active and elapsed time < N minutes, we track the running high/low.
When elapsed ≥ N minutes, we freeze OR High/Low.
VWAP & ±σ bands (intraday)
Day-anchored VWAP uses ta.vwap(hlc3).
Bands: standard deviation of (close − vwap) from day start, accumulated inline:
stdev = sqrt( mean(dev^2) − mean(dev)^2 )
Bands = vwap ± k * stdev (user multiplier).
Floor Pivots (classic)
Using prior ETH daily H/L/C:
PP = (H + L + C) / 3
R1 = 2*PP − L, S1 = 2*PP − H
R2 = PP + (H − L), S2 = PP − (H − L).
ADR projections
Daily range series rng = request.security(..., "D", high - low).
ADR = SMA(rng, L) (default L=14).
Anchor is user-selectable: today’s open or yesterday’s close.
Projections: ADR Up = anchor + ADR/2, ADR Down = anchor − ADR/2.
Settlement
Prev Settle defaults to prior ETH daily close but can be overridden manually for markets where official settlement differs from feed close.
Today Projected Settle uses the current ETH daily close value.
Weekly / Monthly context
Prior W/M H/L/C from "W"/"M" with , plus current W/M Open.
Rendering & label logic (originality)
Lines are persistent: each named level owns one line object that is updated, not re-created—keeps resource use low and avoids “too many plots”.
Right-edge labels are text-only (no box) placed at x = bar_index + offset and yloc.price.
When multiple levels share (almost) the same price, labels are packed side-by-side using a small bucketing algorithm:
Prices are bucketed within ±½ tick.
Each label gets a position index inside its bucket; the final x-offset = baseOffset + index*step + priority.
Priorities nudge important tags (e.g., Settle/RTH levels) closer to the price scale so they remain readable.
Why this is published & what’s original
It’s not a simple mashup: the script’s utility is the session-aware aggregation, the OR timing logic, the intraday σ calculation around VWAP, the line-persistence manager, and the label packing with priorities that keeps the right edge readable even when many levels coincide.
The closed-source protection covers the packing/priority scheme and the persistent object management that make it practical on busy futures charts without hitting Pine limits.
How to use
Set your sessions & time zone
Choose RTH/ON session windows (the defaults match CME equity index futures) and the time zone of your charting workflow.
Toggle components
Enable only the layers you need (e.g., VWAP bands off if you want a cleaner chart).
Opening Range length (minutes) is adjustable.
Settlement
If your broker/feed’s daily close isn’t the official settlement, enter a manual settle value for the prior day.
Read the right edge
Labels sit on the price scale line. When two labels share the same price, they appear side-by-side rather than overlapping.
Timeframes & symbols
Designed for intraday futures on 1–30m. Works on other symbols/timeframes but intent is day trading.
Inputs (summary)
Sessions/TZ: RTH window, ON window, time zone
Today: RTH H/L/Mid, ON H/L, OR (minutes)
VWAP: on/off, ±σ bands, multiplier
Pivots: PP/R1/S1/R2/S2 (ETH)
ADR: lookback, anchor (open vs. prev close)
Settlement: show prev/proj, manual override
Weekly/Monthly: prior H/L/C + current open
Style: line transparency; right-edge tag size, base offset, and step; optional inline labels
Limitations & notes
“Prev Settle” equals the prior daily close unless overridden.
Session definitions matter: if your exchange hours differ, set your own RTH/ON windows.
No alerts are included to minimize plot count and keep performance high (you can add alert conditions on any level in a private copy).

BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System# BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System
## WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This is a mean reversion trading indicator that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and generates alert signals when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. **This indicator version is designed for manual trading with comprehensive alert functionality.** Unlike automated strategies, this tool sends notifications (via popup, email, SMS, or webhook) when trading opportunities occur, allowing you to manually review and execute trades. The system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, identifying scalp opportunities as price reaches extremes and preparing to bounce back toward center.
## INDICATOR VS STRATEGY - KEY DISTINCTION:
**This is an INDICATOR with alerts, not an automated strategy.** It does not execute trades automatically. Instead, it:
- Displays visual signals on your chart when entry conditions are met
- Sends customizable alerts to your device/email when opportunities arise
- Shows TP/SL levels for reference but does not place orders
- Requires you to manually enter and exit positions based on signals
- Works with all TradingView subscription levels (alerts included on all plans)
**For automated trading with backtesting**, use the strategy version. For manual control with notifications, use this indicator version.
## ALERT CAPABILITIES:
This indicator includes four distinct alert conditions that can be configured independently:
**1. New Channel Formation Alert**
- Triggers when a fresh BOCS channel is identified
- Message: "New BOCS channel formed - potential scalp setup ready"
- Use this to prepare for upcoming trading opportunities
**2. Long Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the long entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "LONG scalp signal at 24731.75 | TP: 24743.2 | SL: 24716.5"
**3. Short Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the short entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "SHORT scalp signal at 24747.50 | TP: 24735.0 | SL: 24762.75"
**4. Any Entry Signal Alert**
- Combined alert for both long and short entries
- Use this if you want a single alert stream for all opportunities
- Message: "BOCS Scalp Entry: at "
**Setting Up Alerts:**
1. Add indicator to chart and configure settings
2. Click the Alert (⏰) button in TradingView toolbar
3. Select "BOCS Channel Scalper" from condition dropdown
4. Choose desired alert type (Long, Short, Any, or Channel Formation)
5. Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false signals during bar formation
6. Configure delivery method (popup, email, webhook for automation platforms)
7. Save alert - it will fire automatically when conditions are met
**Alert Message Placeholders:**
Alerts use TradingView's dynamic placeholder system:
- {{ticker}} = Symbol name (e.g., NQ1!)
- {{close}} = Current price at signal
- {{plot_1}} = Calculated take profit level
- {{plot_2}} = Calculated stop loss level
These placeholders populate automatically, creating detailed notification messages without manual configuration.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This indicator is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Indicator**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the indicator ideal for active day traders who want continuous alert opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased signal frequency also means higher potential commission costs and requires disciplined trade selection when acting on alerts.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The indicator normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The indicator uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The indicator uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. Visual markers (arrows and labels) appear on chart, and configured alerts fire immediately.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents alert spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long alert will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The indicator includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid alerts during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while viewing 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Alerts enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No alerts fire
This prevents notifications during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement. The ATR status is displayed in the info table with visual confirmation (✓ or ✗).
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. These levels are displayed as visual lines with labels and included in alert messages for reference when manually placing orders.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are calculated just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. SL levels are displayed on chart and included in alert notifications as suggested stop placement.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.

## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping with Alerts (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars to reduce alert spam
- **Alert Setup**: Configure "Any Entry Signal" for combined long/short notifications
- **Execution**: When alert fires, verify chart visuals, then manually place limit order at entry zone with provided TP/SL levels
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- **Alert Setup**: Configure separate "Long Scalp Entry" and "Short Scalp Entry" alerts if you trade directionally based on bias
- **Execution**: Review channel structure on alert, confirm ATR filter shows ✓, then enter manually
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- **Alert Setup**: Use "New Channel Formation" to prepare for setups, then "Any Entry Signal" for execution alerts
- **Execution**: Larger timeframes allow more analysis time between alert and entry
### Webhook Integration for Semi-Automation:
- Configure alert webhook URL to connect with platforms like TradersPost, TradingView Paper Trading, or custom automation
- Alert message includes all necessary order parameters (direction, entry, TP, SL)
- Webhook receives structured data when signal fires
- External platform can auto-execute based on alert payload
- Still maintains manual oversight vs full strategy automation
## USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Manual Discipline Required**: Alerts provide opportunities but execution requires judgment. Not all alerts should be taken - consider market context, trend, and channel quality
- **Alert Timing**: Alerts fire on bar close by default. Ensure "Once Per Bar Close" is selected to avoid false signals during bar formation
- **Notification Delivery**: Mobile/email alerts may have 1-3 second delay. For immediate execution, use desktop popups or webhook automation
- **Cooldown Necessity**: Without cooldown, rapidly touching price action can generate excessive alerts. Start with 3-bar cooldown and adjust based on alert volume
- **ATR Filter Impact**: Enabling ATR filter dramatically reduces alert count but improves quality. Track filter status in info table to understand when you're receiving fewer alerts
- **Commission Awareness**: High alert frequency means high potential trade count. Calculate if your commission structure supports frequent scalping before acting on all alerts
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features are not included in this indicator version. Multi-timeframe ATR requires higher-tier TradingView subscription for request.security() functionality on timeframes below chart timeframe.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- **Indicator does not execute trades** - alerts are informational only; you must manually place all orders
- **Alert delivery depends on TradingView infrastructure** - delays or failures possible during platform issues
- **No position tracking** - indicator doesn't know if you're in a trade; you must manage open positions independently
- **TP/SL levels are reference only** - you must manually set these on your broker platform; they are not live orders
- **Immediate touch entry can generate many alerts** in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- **Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks** may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- **ATR filter from lower timeframes** requires TradingView Premium/Pro+ for request.security()
- **Mean reversion logic fails** in strong breakout scenarios - alerts will fire but trades may hit stops
- **No partial closing capability** - full position management is manual; you determine scaling out
- **Alerts do not account for gaps** or overnight price changes; morning alerts may be stale
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. This indicator provides signals for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Alerts are not guaranteed to be profitable and should be combined with your own analysis. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Always verify alerts against current market conditions before executing trades manually.
## ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This indicator is built upon the channel detection methodology created by **AlgoAlpha** in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns. The core channel formation logic using normalized price standard deviation is AlgoAlpha's original contribution to the TradingView community.
Enhancements to the original concept include: mean reversion entry logic (vs breakout), immediate touch-based alert generation, comprehensive alert condition system with customizable notifications, multi-timeframe ATR volatility filtering, cooldown period for alert management, dual TP methods (fixed points vs channel percentage), visual TP/SL reference lines, and real-time status monitoring table. This indicator version is specifically designed for manual traders who prefer alert-based decision making over automated execution.
BOCS AdaptiveBOCS Adaptive Strategy - Automated Volatility Breakout System
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated trading strategy that detects consolidation patterns through volatility analysis and executes trades when price breaks out of these channels. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are calculated dynamically using Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to current market volatility. The strategy closes positions partially at the first profit target and exits the remainder at the second target or stop loss.
TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
Price Normalization Process:
The strategy begins by normalizing price to create a consistent measurement scale. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). The current close price is then normalized using the formula: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low). This produces values between 0 and 1, allowing volatility analysis to work consistently across different instruments and price levels.
Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series. Standard deviation measures how much prices deviate from their average - higher values indicate volatility expansion, lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() functions to track when volatility reaches peaks and troughs over the detection length period (default 14 bars).
Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level, this signals the beginning of a consolidation phase. The strategy records this moment using ta.crossover(upper, lower) and begins tracking the highest and lowest prices during the consolidation. These become the channel boundaries. The duration between the crossover and current bar must exceed 10 bars minimum to avoid false channels from brief volatility spikes. Channels are drawn using box objects with the recorded high/low boundaries.
Breakout Signal Generation:
Two detection modes are available:
Strong Closes Mode (default): Breakout occurs when the candle body midpoint math.avg(close, open) exceeds the channel boundary. This filters out wick-only breaks.
Any Touch Mode: Breakout occurs when the close price exceeds the boundary.
When price closes above the upper channel boundary, a bullish breakout signal generates. When price closes below the lower boundary, a bearish breakout signal generates. The channel is then removed from the chart.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
The strategy uses request.security() to fetch ATR values from a specified timeframe, which can differ from the chart timeframe. For example, on a 5-minute chart, you can use 1-minute ATR for more responsive calculations. The ATR is calculated using ta.atr(length) with a user-defined period (default 14).
Exit levels are calculated at the moment of breakout:
Long Entry Price = Upper channel boundary
Long TP1 = Entry + (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Long TP2 = Entry + (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Long SL = Entry - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
For short trades, the calculation inverts:
Short Entry Price = Lower channel boundary
Short TP1 = Entry - (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Short TP2 = Entry - (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Short SL = Entry + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
Trade Execution Logic:
When a breakout occurs, the strategy checks if trading hours filter is satisfied (if enabled) and if position size equals zero (no existing position). If volume confirmation is enabled, it also verifies that current volume exceeds 1.2 times the 20-period simple moving average.
If all conditions are met:
strategy.entry() opens a position using the user-defined number of contracts
strategy.exit() immediately places a stop loss order
The code monitors price against TP1 and TP2 levels on each bar
When price reaches TP1, strategy.close() closes the specified number of contracts (e.g., if you enter with 3 contracts and set TP1 close to 1, it closes 1 contract). When price reaches TP2, it closes all remaining contracts. If stop loss is hit first, the entire position exits via the strategy.exit() order.
Volume Analysis System:
The strategy uses ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(timeframe) to fetch up volume, down volume, and volume delta from a specified timeframe. Three display modes are available:
Volume Mode: Shows total volume as bars scaled relative to the 20-period average
Comparison Mode: Shows up volume and down volume as separate bars above/below the channel midline
Delta Mode: Shows net volume delta (up volume - down volume) as bars, positive values above midline, negative below
The volume confirmation logic compares breakout bar volume to the 20-period SMA. If volume ÷ average > 1.2, the breakout is classified as "confirmed." When volume confirmation is enabled in settings, only confirmed breakouts generate trades.
INPUT PARAMETERS:
Strategy Settings:
Number of Contracts: Fixed quantity to trade per signal (1-1000)
Require Volume Confirmation: Toggle to only trade signals with volume >120% of average
TP1 Close Contracts: Exact number of contracts to close at first target (1-1000)
Use Trading Hours Filter: Toggle to restrict trading to specified session
Trading Hours: Session input in HHMM-HHMM format (e.g., "0930-1600")
Main Settings:
Normalization Length: Lookback bars for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)
Box Detection Length: Period for volatility peak/trough detection (1-100, default 14)
Strong Closes Only: Toggle between body midpoint vs close price for breakout detection
Nested Channels: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel at a time
ATR TP/SL Settings:
ATR Timeframe: Source timeframe for ATR calculation (1, 5, 15, 60, etc.)
ATR Length: Smoothing period for ATR (1-100, default 14)
Take Profit 1 Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 2.0)
Take Profit 2 Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 3.0)
Stop Loss Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 1.0)
Enable Take Profit 2: Toggle second profit target on/off
VISUAL INDICATORS:
Channel boxes with semi-transparent fill showing consolidation zones
Green/red colored zones at channel boundaries indicating breakout areas
Volume bars displayed within channels using selected mode
TP/SL lines with labels showing both price level and distance in points
Entry signals marked with up/down triangles at breakout price
Strategy status table showing position, contracts, P&L, ATR values, and volume confirmation status
HOW TO USE:
For 2-Minute Scalping:
Set ATR Timeframe to "1" (1-minute), ATR Length to 12, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Enable volume confirmation and strong closes only. Use trading hours filter to avoid low-volume periods.
For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to match chart or use 5-minute, ATR Length to 14, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.5, SL Multiplier to 1.2. Volume confirmation recommended but optional.
For Hourly+ Swing Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to 15-30 minute, ATR Length to 14-21, TP1 Multiplier to 2.5, TP2 Multiplier to 4.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Volume confirmation optional, nested channels can be enabled for multiple setups.
BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
Strategy performs best during trending or volatility expansion phases
Consolidation-heavy or choppy markets produce more false signals
Shorter timeframes require wider stop loss multipliers due to noise
Commission and slippage significantly impact performance on sub-5-minute charts
Volume confirmation generally improves win rate but reduces trade frequency
ATR multipliers should be optimized for specific instrument characteristics
COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price and volume data including forex pairs, stock indices, individual stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities, and futures contracts. Requires TradingView data feed that includes volume for volume confirmation features to function.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
Stop losses execute via strategy.exit() and may not fill at exact levels during gaps or extreme volatility
request.security() on lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription
False breakouts inherent to breakout strategies cannot be completely eliminated
Performance varies significantly based on market regime (trending vs ranging)
Partial closing logic requires sufficient position size relative to TP1 close contracts setting
RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance of this or any strategy does not guarantee future results. This strategy is provided for educational purposes and automated backtesting. Thoroughly test on historical data and paper trade before risking real capital. Market conditions change and strategies that worked historically may fail in the future. Use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.

Futures Forward Price [NeoButane]In futures markets, the theoretical value of a futures contract can be derived from its underlying price and cost of carry. By baking in the costs and potential yields, the theoretical forward price then be used in basis against futures prices in place of the underlying spot price.
Usage
The script creates plots on the main chart and a separate window pane. Both are meant to be used to visualize dislocations in the market.
By using a futures vs. forward basis instead of futures vs. spot basis, discounts in the market are clearer.
Last month, the gold futures market GCZ2025 traded >1% above forward price when tariffs were announced and fell back in line once the tariffs were verbally retracted.
View roll spreads over a back-adjusted continuous chart. I guess. I don't think spread traders only look at one chart. This is as educational for me as it is you.
Configuration
The underlying reference needs to be changed to match the futures contract you are using.
The Risk-Free Rate defaults to FRED:SOFR. I found the contract month matched 3-Month SOFR Futures to be the closest for forward price.
Risk-Free Rate: The interest rate source for forward price.
Constant Risk-Free Rate: a static interest rate that can be used in advance of future changes in risk-free rate.
Underlying Reference: spot or index price. Some examples include TVC:SPX, TVC:GOLD, CRYPTO:BTCUSD, TVC:USOIL.
Forward Price Compounding: determines which formula to use. They're similar and become closer as the contract matures.
Alternative Contract: enable and select a futures contract to use it on a chart different than the main.
Storage Cost and Yield: for use with commodities. I haven't found a proper use for them yet but enabling is simple if you are able to.
The following are meant to be used with the continuous formula as they are compounded. However the rate sources don't differ much for the purpose of futures prices.
3-Month CME SOFR Futures
3-Month ICEEUR SONIA Futures
3-Month Osaka TONA Futures
The other rate sources are either meant for futures contracts shorter than quarterly such as monthly crypto futures or were meant to help myself understand how different rates would align with futures prices, like inflation.
What this script does
It uses the cost of carry formula to output the forward price (red line). The underlying reference (green line) is plotted alongside and a futures-derived reference (blue line) can be displayed to see how it looks next to the real reference price.
The data pane displays either the nominal difference or percentage difference between the real futures price and the calculated forward price.

(ES, NQ) Trend Checker SB1(ES, NQ) Trend Checker SB1
Stay ahead of the market by tracking whether the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and the Nasdaq 100 (NQ) are moving in sync.
📊 How it works:
The script checks whether each index is bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open).
If both are aligned (all bullish or all bearish), conditions are stable.
If they diverge, the indicator instantly flags a mismatch in trend.
🎯 Features:
Background shading to highlight mismatched conditions.
Real-time alerts when ES and NQ fall out of sync.
Works on any timeframe.
🔥 Why it matters:
When ES and NQ move together, market momentum is usually stronger and cleaner.
But when they disagree, expect choppiness, fakeouts, or caution zones — the perfect heads-up before entering trades.
VWATR + VIX + VVIX Trend Regime### 🤖 VWATR + VIX + VVIX Trend Regime — Your Ultimate Volatility Dashboard! 📊
This isn't just another indicator; it's a comprehensive dashboard that brings together everything you need to understand market volatility focused on Futures.

Think of it as your personal volatility sidekick, ready to help you navigate market uncertainty like a pro!
***
### ✨ What's Inside?
* **VWATR (Volume-Weighted ATR):** A super-smart measure of price movement that pays close attention to where the big money is flowing.
* **VIX (The "Fear Gauge"):** Tracks the expected volatility of the S&P 500, essentially telling you how nervous the market is feeling.
* **VVIX (The "VIX of VIX"):** This one's for the pros! It measures how volatile the VIX itself is, giving you an early heads-up on potential fear spikes.
* **VX Term Structure:** A clever way to see if traders are preparing for a crisis. It compares the two nearest VIX futures to spot a rare signal called "backwardation."
* **Z-Scores:** It helps you spot when VIX and VVIX are at historic highs or lows, making it easier to predict when things might return to normal.
* **Divergence Score:** A unique tool to flag potential market shifts when the VIX and VVIX start moving in completely different directions.
* **Regime Classification:** The script automatically labels the market as "Full Panic," "Known Crisis," "Surface Calm," "Stress," or "Normal," so you always know where you stand.
* **Gradient Bars:** A visual treat! The background of your chart changes color to reflect real-time volatility shifts, giving you an instant feel for the market's mood.
* **Alerts:** Get push notifications on your phone for key events like "Full Panic" or "Backwardation" so you never miss a beat.

### 💡 Jolt Value: A Quick Guide for Smart Traders 🧠
The **jolt value** is your personal tripwire for volatility. Think of it as a warning light on your car's dashboard. You set the level, and when volatility (VWATR) crosses that line, you get an instant signal that something interesting is happening.
**How to Set Your Jolt Value:**
The ideal jolt value is dynamic. You want to keep it just a little above the current VIX level to stay alert without getting too many false alarms.
| Current VIX Level | Market Regime | Recommended Jolt Value |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Under 15 | Calm/Complacent | 15–16 |
| 15–20 | Typical/Normal | 16–18 |
| 20–30 | Cautious/Active | 18–22 |
| Over 30 | Stress/Panic | 30+ |
**A Pro Tip for August 2025:** Since the VIX is hovering around 14.7, setting your jolt value to **16.5** is a great starting point for keeping an eye on things. If the VIX starts to climb above 20, you should adjust your jolt level to match the new reality.
***
### ⚠️ Important Things to Note
* You might experience some data delays if you're not on a paid TradingView plan or your broker does not provide real-time data for the VIX also VIX is only active during NY session, so it's not advised to use it outside of normal trading hours!

Futures PnL Levels [MFFU]Futures PnL Levels is a purpose-built indicator designed specifically for futures traders using TradingView. Whether you're backtesting strategies, planning trades, or managing live positions, this tool gives you a clean, visual overlay of your Profit & Loss directly on the chart, based on your custom input.
Why This Indicator is Different
If you trade using Tradovate through TradingView , you’ve likely noticed a major limitation: TradingView does not show your real-time PnL. This has made it nearly impossible to track live profits and losses within the charting platform until now.
Futures PnL Levels bridges that gap . By inputting your entry, TP, SL, and contract size, you can now replicate a live, dynamic PnL experience directly on your TradingView chart. This solves a long-standing issue for Tradovate users and significantly improves real-time trade awareness.

Whether you're preparing a precise entry or managing an open position, Futures PnL Levels adds structure, confidence, and clarity to every trade.
Fractal Market Model [BLAZ]Version 1.0 – Published August 2025: Initial release
1. Overview & Purpose
1.1. What This Indicator Does
The Fractal Market Model is an original multi-timeframe technical analysis tool that bridges the critical gap between macro-level market structure and micro-level price execution. Designed to work across all financial markets including Forex, Stocks, Crypto, Futures, and Commodities. While traditional Smart Money Concepts indicators exist, this implementation analyses multi-timeframe liquidity zones and price action shifts, marking potential reversal points where Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity sweeps coincide with Low Timeframe (LTF) price action dynamics changes.
Snapshot details: NASDAQ:GOOG , 1W Timeframe, Year 2025
1.2. What Sets This Indicator Apart
The Fractal Market Model analyses multi-timeframe correlations between HTF structural events and LTF price action. This creates a dynamic framework that reveals patterns observed historically in price behaviour that are believed to reflect institutional activity across multiple time dimensions.
The indicator recognizes that markets move in fractal cycles following the AMDX pattern (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal). By tracking this pattern across timeframes, it flags zones where price action dynamics characteristics have historically shown shifts. In the LTF, the indicator monitors for price closing through the open of an opposing candle near HTF swing highs or lows, marking this as a Change in State of Delivery (CISD), a threshold event where price action historically transitions direction.
Practical Value:
Multi-Timeframe Integration: Connects HTF structural events with LTF execution patterns.
Fractal Pattern Recognition: Identifies AMDX cycles across different time dimensions.
Price Behavior Analysis: Tracks CISD patterns that may reflect historical shifts in order flow commonly associated with institutional activity.
Range-Based Context: Analyses price action within established HTF liquidity zones.
1.3. How It Works
The indicator employs a systematic 5-candle HTF tracking methodology:
Candles 0-1: Accumulation phase identification.
Candle 2: Manipulation detection (raids previous highs/lows).
Candle 3: Distribution phase recognition.
Candle 4: Continuation/reversal toward opposite liquidity.
The system monitors for CISD patterns on the LTF when HTF manipulation candles close with confirmed sweeps, highlighting zones where order flow dynamics historically shifted within the established HTF range.
