TFRSI & RSI Analog Dial [CHE] TFRSI & RSI Analog Dial — Interactive analog visualization for TFRSI or RSI with gradient zones, radial markers, and a trailing hand pointer. Summary This indicator renders an interactive analog dial for either TFRSI or standard RSI, providing a visual gauge with gradient-filled zones for oversold, neutral, and overbought regions. The hand pointer tracks the current value, with optional trailing dots at recent positions to show momentum direction. Radial lines mark key thresholds, and a digital readout displays the exact value. This design enhances readability over linear plots by leveraging familiar clock-like intuition, reducing cognitive load during quick scans. Signals are robust due to clamping to safe bounds and mode-specific scaling, ensuring consistent display across different volatility regimes. Motivation: Why this design? Traditional linear RSI or momentum indicators often feel abstract, especially in fast-paced screening where users scan multiple assets. Sharp swings can make thresholds hard to gauge at a glance, leading to missed nuances in overbought or oversold conditions. This dial addresses that by mapping values to a curved scale with color gradients, making extremes visually pop while the hand's trail hints at recent path without cluttering the chart. The dual-mode support allows seamless switching between advanced momentum (TFRSI) and classic RSI, fitting diverse strategies without reloading scripts. What’s different vs. standard approaches? - Baseline reference: Diverges from linear plotlines like the built-in RSI oscillator, which stacks values vertically and relies on horizontal lines for thresholds. - Architecture differences: - Curved projection with perspective tilt for depth illusion, using polyline arcs instead of straight plots. - Mode-aware clamping and scaling to handle TFRSI's extended range versus RSI's standard bounds. - Persistent trail array for hand history, capped at three points to avoid performance drag. - Gradient segmentation for smooth zone transitions, rendered via multiple thin polylines. - Practical effect: Charts show a compact, rotatable dial that fits in pane corners, with colors intuitively signaling bias (lime for buy zones, red for sell). The trail adds qualitative flow without numerical overload, helping spot divergences faster than static bars. How it works (technical) The indicator first computes the selected metric: for TFRSI, it processes price accelerations through a multi-step filter involving differencing, exponential damping, and normalization to a centered scale; for RSI, it uses the standard gain-loss ratio over the specified period. The value is then clamped between mode-specific minimum and maximum bounds to prevent display overflow. This clamped value drives the hand angle on a 300-degree arc, projected from a 3D-like model rotated for perspective. Arcs for zones are built as segmented polylines, with colors interpolated linearly across the gradient. Key levels are drawn as radial lines from inner to outer radius, colored by zone. The trail maintains up to three prior angles in an array, updated only on confirmed bars to avoid repainting, and rendered as sized dots fading from small to large. Initialization seeds filter states to zero on first bar, with persistent variables holding smoothing history. Data flows from price to metric computation, clamping, angle mapping, and projection—all executed globally on the last bar for redraw efficiency. Parameter Guide Mode — Switches between TFRSI (extended momentum gauge) and RSI (classic oscillator); affects bounds, zones, and labels. Default: "TFRSI". Trade-offs: TFRSI adds sensitivity to accelerations but may amplify noise; RSI is more stable for trend confirmation. Dial Size — Sets radius in pixels, scaling all elements proportionally. Default: 200. Bounds: 50–500. Tips: Larger for detailed views, smaller for multi-pane layouts; auto-scales hand length to match. Dial Vertical Offset — Shifts entire dial up/down in pixels. Default: 0. Bounds: -200–200. Trade-offs: Negative pulls toward price action; positive spaces below—use to avoid overlap. Camera Angle — Tilts view from top-down (0) to side (90) for 3D effect. Default: 45. Bounds: 0–90. Tips: Steeper angles emphasize depth but compress horizontally; flat for precision. Resolution — Polygon sides for smooth arcs. Default: 64. Bounds: 4–64. Trade-offs: Higher reduces jaggedness but increases draw calls—balance with pane zoom. TFRSI Hand Length — Base pointer length at 200px dial, auto-scaled. Default: 170. Bounds: 10–200. Tips: Longer for emphasis in large dials; shorter avoids edge clipping. Show TFRSI Hand — Toggles pointer visibility. Default: true. Trade-offs: Off for clean zones only; on for value tracking. Show Hand Trail Dots — Displays 3 fading dots at recent tips. Default: true. Trade-offs: Adds motion context but may clutter static views—disable in alerts. TFRSI Hand Color — Pointer hue, used for trail dots too. Default: 7E57C2. Tips: Match strategy theme; gradients auto-blend to zones. Dial Base Color — Arc outline/fill tint. Default: blue. Trade-offs: Opaque for contrast; transparent blends with background. Neutral Color (50) — Mid-zone shade. Default: gray. Tips: Neutral tones reduce bias in balanced markets. Oversold Color — Low-zone fill. Default: lime. Trade-offs: Bright for alerts; muted for subtlety. Overbought Color — High-zone fill. Default: red. Trade-offs: As above—pair with hand blending. Label Size — Text scaling for thresholds. Default: "normal". Options: tiny/small/normal/large/huge. Tips: Smaller for dense charts; larger for presentations. Digital TFRSI Size — Readout font. Default: "large". Options: as above. Trade-offs: Balances visibility without dominating dial. Digital Vertical Offset — Readout position shift. Default: -50. Bounds: -200–200. Tips: Negative centers above dial; adjust for multi-indicators. TFRSI Length — Core lookback for accelerations. Default: 6. Min: 1. Trade-offs: Shorter heightens reactivity, risks whipsaws; longer smooths extremes. TFRSI Trigger Length — Final smoothing passes. Default: 2. Min: 1. Tips: Increase for fewer false crosses; decrease for quicker pivots. RSI Length — Period for gain-loss averaging. Default: 14. Min: 1. Trade-offs: Classic 14 balances; shorter for scalps, longer for swings. Reading & Interpretation The dial arcs sweep from overbought (right, red) through neutral (top, gray) to oversold (left, lime), with the hand pointing to the current value—clockwise for rising, counterclockwise for falling. Trail dots grow larger toward the present, colored to match hand zones, indicating recent direction without numbers. Threshold lines thicken at center (50) for quick zeroing; labels confirm levels. Digital readout below shows precise value prefixed by mode. Hand color gradients from neutral to extremes signal building pressure verbally: deepening red warns of potential pullbacks, brightening lime suggests bounces. Practical Workflows & Combinations Trend following: Enter long when hand crosses above 50 from oversold trail; confirm with higher highs in price structure. Filter shorts below 50 in downtrends using volume spikes. Exits/Stops: Trail stops to recent dot positions in overbought; tighten on red gradients exceeding thresholds. Conservative: Exit at neutral; aggressive: Hold to extremes if trail aligns with momentum. Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H–4H; for crypto, shorten lengths by 20% for volatility. Stack with HTF security calls (e.g., daily mode on 15m chart) for confluence—watch for alignment across dials. Behavior, Constraints & Performance Closed-bar updates ensure no repainting; live bars show provisional hand/trail, confirmed on close. No security or HTF calls, so zero lookahead bias. Resources: Caps at 500 lines/labels/polylines, rebuilds only on last bar; max_bars_back=2000 handles history without lag. Known limits: Trail may stutter in flat markets; gradients approximate smooth fills via segments, visible at low resolution. Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning Start with TFRSI mode, length=6, trigger=2 for responsive momentum on daily charts. Too choppy? Bump trigger to 4 for stability. Lagging entries? Drop length to 4, watch for overreactions. For RSI trend filter, set length=21; combine with MA cross for entries when dial nears 30/70.

NLR-ADX Divergence Strategy Triple-ConfirmedHow it works Builds a cleaner DMI/ADX Recomputes classic +DI, −DI, ADX over a user-set length. Then “non-linear regresses” each series toward a mean (your choice: dynamic EMA of the series or a fixed Static Mid like 50). The further a value is from the mean, the stronger the pull (controlled by alphaMin/alphaMax and the γ exponent), giving smoother, more stable DI/ADX lines with less whipsaw. Optional EMA smoothing on top of that. Lock in values at confirmed pivots Uses price pivots (left/right bars) to confirm swing lows and highs. When a pivot confirms, the script captures (“freezes”) the current +DI, −DI, and ADX values at that bar and stores them. This avoids later drift from smoothing/EMAs. Check for triple divergence For a bullish setup (potential long): Price makes a Lower Low vs. a prior pivot low, +DI is higher than before (bulls quietly stronger), −DI is lower (bears weakening), ADX is lower (trend fatigue). For a bearish setup (potential short) Price makes a Higher High, +DI is lower, −DI is higher, ADX is lower. Adds a “no-intersection” sanity check: between the two pivots, the live series shouldn’t snake across the straight line connecting endpoints. This filters messy, low-quality structures. Trade logic On a valid triple-confirm, places a strategy.entry (Long for bullish, Short for bearish) and optionally labels the bar (BUY or SELL with +DI/−DI/ADX arrows). Simple flip behavior: if you’re long and a new short signal prints (or vice versa), it closes the open side and flips. Key inputs you can tweak Custom DMI Settings DMI Length — base length for DI/ADX. Non-Linear Regression Model Mean Reference — EMA(series) (dynamic) or Static mid (e.g., 50). Dynamic Mean Length & Deviation Scale Length — govern the mean and scale used for regression. Min/Max Regression & Non-Linearity Exponent (γ) — how strongly values are pulled toward the mean (stronger when far away). Divergence Engine Pivot Left/Right Bars — how strict the swing confirmation is (larger = more confirmation, more delay). Min Bars Between Pivots — avoids comparing “near-duplicate” swings. Max Historical Pivots to Store — memory cap.

Percentile Rank Oscillator (Price + VWMA)A statistical oscillator designed to identify potential market turning points using percentile-based price analytics and volume-weighted confirmation. What is PRO? Percentile Rank Oscillator measures how extreme current price behavior is relative to its own recent history. It calculates a rolling percentile rank of price midpoints and VWMA deviation (volume-weighted price drift). When price reaches historically rare levels – high or low percentiles – it may signal exhaustion and potential reversal conditions. How it works Takes midpoint of each candle ((H+L)/2) Ranks the current value vs previous N bars using rolling percentile rank Maps percentile to a normalized oscillator scale (-1..+1 or 0–100) Optionally evaluates VWMA deviation percentile for volume-confirmed signals Highlights extreme conditions and confluence zones Why percentile rank? Median-based percentiles ignore outliers and read the market statistically – not by fixed thresholds. Instead of guessing “overbought/oversold” values, the indicator adapts to current volatility and structure. Key features Rolling percentile rank of price action Optional VWMA-based percentile confirmation Adaptive, noise-robust structure User-selectable thresholds (default 95/5) Confluence highlighting for price + VWMA extremes Optional smoothing (RMA) Visual extreme zone fills for rapid signal recognition How to use High percentile values –> statistically extreme upward deviation (potential top) Low percentile values –> statistically extreme downward deviation (potential bottom) Price + VWMA confluence strengthens reversal context Best used as part of a broader trading framework (market structure, order flow, etc.) Tip: Look for percentile spikes at key HTF levels, after extended moves, or where liquidity sweeps occur. Strong moves into rare percentile territory may precede mean reversion. Suggested settings Default length: 100 bars Thresholds: 95 / 5 Smoothing: 1–3 (optional) Important note This tool does not predict direction or guarantee outcomes. It provides statistical context for price extremes to help traders frame probability and timing. Always combine with sound risk management and other tools.

3D Session Clock | Live Time with Sessions [CHE] 3D Session Clock | Live Time with Sessions — Projects a perspective clock face onto the chart to display current time and market session periods for enhanced situational awareness during trading hours. Summary This indicator renders a three-dimensional clock projection directly on the price chart, showing analog hands for hours, minutes, and seconds alongside a digital time readout. It overlays session arcs for major markets like New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney, highlighting the active one with thicker lines and contrasting labels. By centralizing time and session visibility, it reduces the need to reference external clocks, allowing traders to maintain focus on price action while noting overlaps or transitions that influence volatility. The design uses perspective projection to simulate depth, making the clock appear tilted for better readability on varying chart scales. Sessions are positioned radially outward from the main clock, with the current time marker pulsing on the relevant arc. This setup provides a static yet live-updating view, confirmed on bar close to avoid intrabar shifts. Motivation: Why this design? Traders often miss subtle session shifts amid fast-moving charts, leading to entries during low-liquidity periods or exits before peak activity. Standard chart tools lack integrated time visualization, forcing constant tab-switching. This indicator addresses that by embedding a customizable clock with session rings, ensuring time context is always in view without disrupting workflow. What’s different vs. standard approaches? - Reference baseline: Traditional session highlighters use simple background fills or vertical lines, which clutter the chart and ignore global time zones. - Architecture differences: - Perspective projection rotates and scales points to mimic 3D depth, unlike flat 2D drawings. - Nested radial arcs for sessions, with dynamic radius assignment to avoid overlap. - Live time calculation adjusted for user-selected time zones, including optional daylight savings offset. - Practical effect: The tilted view prevents labels from bunching at chart edges, and active session emphasis draws the eye to liquidity hotspots, making multi-session overlaps immediately apparent for better timing. How it works (technical) The indicator calculates current time in the selected time zone by adjusting the system timestamp with a fixed offset, plus an optional one-hour bump for daylight savings. This yields hour, minute, and second values that drive hand positions: the hour hand advances slowly with fractional minute input, the minute hand ticks per 60 seconds, and the second hand sweeps fully each minute. Points for the clock face and arcs are generated as arrays of coordinates, transformed via rotation around the x-axis to apply tilt, then projected onto chart space using a scaling factor based on depth. Radial lines mark every hour from zero to 23, extending to the outermost session ring. Session arcs span user-defined hour ranges, drawn as open polylines with step interpolation for smoothness. On the last bar, all prior drawings are cleared, and new elements are added: filled clock circles, hand lines from center to tip, a small orbiting circle at the current time position, and centered labels for hours, sessions, and time. The active session is identified by checking if the current time falls within its range, then its arc thickens and label inverts colors. Initialization populates a timezone array once, with persistent bar time tracking for horizontal positioning. Parameter Guide Clock Size — Controls overall radius in pixels, affecting visibility on dense charts — Default: 200 — Larger values suit wide screens but may crowd small views; start smaller for mobile. Camera Angle — Sets tilt from top-down (zero) to side (90 degrees), altering projection depth — Default: 45 — Steeper angles enhance readability on sloped trends but flatten at extremes. Resolution — Defines polygon sides for circles and arcs, balancing smoothness and draw calls — Default: 64 — Higher improves curves on large clocks; lower aids performance on slow devices. Hour/Minute/Second Hand Length — Scales each hand from center, with seconds longest for precision — Defaults: 100/150/180 — Proportional sizing prevents overlap; shorten for compact layouts. Clock Base Color — Tints face and frame — Default: blue — Neutral shades reduce eye strain; match chart theme. Hand Colors — Assigns distinct hues to each hand — Defaults: red/green/yellow — High contrast aids quick scans; avoid chart-matching to stand out. Hour Label Size — Text scale for 1-12 markers — Default: normal — Larger for distant views, but risks clutter. Digital Time Size — Scale for HH:MM:SS readout — Default: large — Matches clock for balance; tiny for minimalism. Digital Time Vertical Offset — Shifts readout up (negative) or down — Default: -50 — Positions above clock to avoid hand interference. Timezone — Selects reference city/offset — Default: New York (UTC-05) — Matches trading locale; verify offsets manually. Summer Time (DST) — Adds one hour if active — Default: false — Enable for regions observing it; test transitions. Show/Label/Session/Color for Each Market — Toggles arc, sets name, time window, and hue per session (New York/London/Tokyo/Sydney) — Defaults: true/"New York"/1300-2200/orange, etc. — Customize windows to local exchange hours; colors differentiate overlaps. Reading & Interpretation The analog face shows a blue-tinted circle with white 1-12 labels and gray hour ticks; hands extend from center in assigned colors, pointing to current positions. A white dot with orbiting ring marks exact time on the session arc. Digital readout below displays padded HH:MM:SS in white on black. Active sessions glow with bold arcs and white labels on colored backgrounds; inactive ones use thin lines and colored text on light fills. Overlaps stack outward, with the innermost (New York) closest to the clock. If no session is active, the marker sits on the base ring. Practical Workflows & Combinations - Trend following: Enter longs during London-New York overlap (thicker dual arcs) confirmed by higher highs; filter with volume spikes. - Exits/Stops: Tighten stops pre-Tokyo open if arc thickens, signaling volatility ramp; trail during Sydney for overnight holds. - Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex/stocks; on higher timeframes, enlarge clock size to counter bar spacing. Pair with session volume oscillators for confirmation. Behavior, Constraints & Performance Rendering occurs only on the last bar, using confirmed history for stable display; live bars update hands and marker without repainting prior elements. No security calls or higher timeframe fetches, so no lookahead bias. Resource limits include 2000 bars back for positioning, 500 each for lines, labels, and boxes—sufficient for full sessions without overflow. Arrays hold timezone data statically. On very wide charts, projection may skew slightly due to fixed scale. Known limits: Visual positioning drifts on extreme zooms; daylight savings assumes manual toggle, risking one-hour errors during changes. Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning Start with New York timezone, 45-degree tilt, and all sessions enabled—these balance global coverage without clutter. For too-small visibility, bump clock size to 300 and resolution to 48. If labels overlap on narrow views, reduce hand lengths proportionally. To emphasize one session (e.g., London), disable others and widen its color contrast. For minimalism, set digital size to small and offset to -100.

(FTD) Follow-Through Day SignalFollow-Through Day (FTD) Signal This indicator detects potential Follow-Through Days (FTDs) — a concept popularized by William O’Neil — to help identify possible market trend confirmations. A Follow-Through Day occurs when an index shows strong upside action on higher volume several days after a market low, suggesting institutional buying rather than short covering. How it works: The indicator checks for a session where the price gains a defined minimum percentage from the prior close (default: 1.2% or more). Volume must be greater than the previous day’s volume. The rally must occur at least three days after a recent low, determined by the lookback period (default: 20 days). Additional safeguards require that recent bars are not making new lows and that the bar three days prior either closed positive or was not at a new low — filtering out false signals from oversold bounces. When all conditions are met, a blue up arrow is plotted beneath the bar, and an optional “FTD” label appears if enabled. Inputs: Min % Gain from Previous Close (%): Sets the minimum daily percentage gain to qualify as a Follow-Through Day. Lookback Period for Lowest Low Checks: Defines how many bars back to search for a recent market low (default: 20). Show Signal Label: Toggles the on-chart “FTD” label display. Usage: This indicator is intended for use on daily charts of major market indexes — such as the Nasdaq Composite (symbol: IXIC) or broad index ETFs including QQQ, SPY, and DIA — where Follow-Through Day signals are most relevant for confirming potential trend reversals.

Swing LevelsThe Swing Levels indicator automatically detects and plots recent swing highs and lows on the chart, turning them into dynamic support and resistance levels. Each new swing point creates a horizontal line that extends forward in time until price “fills” (touches or breaks) that level. Once a level is filled, it can either disappear or remain visible — depending on your settings. You can enable alerts to be notified whenever price fills a swing high (breaks resistance) or a swing low (breaks support). A lookback filter allows limiting how far back in history swing levels are drawn, helping keep the chart clean and efficient. Main benefits: • Automatically tracks key market structure turning points • Helps visualize support and resistance zones in real time • Optional alerts for breakout confirmations • Fully customizable colors, line styles, and management behavior • Works on any timeframe or market In short: Swing Levels gives you a clear and automated view of where price has recently reversed — powerful zones where liquidity and reactions often occur again.

Trend Pullback System```{"variant":"standard","id":"36492","title":"Trend Pullback System Description"} Trend Pullback System is a price-action trend continuation model that looks to enter on pullbacks, not breakouts. It’s designed to find high-quality long/short entries inside an already established trend, place the stop at meaningful structure, trail that stop as structure evolves, and warn you when the trade thesis is no longer valid. Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi --------------------------------- HOW IT WORKS --------------------------------- 1. Trend Detection • The strategy defines overall bias using moving averages. • Bullish environment (“uptrend”): price above the slower MA, fast MA above slow MA, and the slow MA is sloping up. • Bearish environment (“downtrend”): price below the slower MA, fast MA below slow MA, and the slow MA is sloping down. This prevents trading against chop and focuses on continuation moves in the dominant direction. 2. Pullback + Re-entry Logic • The script waits for price to pull back into structure (support in an uptrend, resistance in a downtrend), and then push back in the direction of the main trend. • That “push back” is the setup trigger. We don’t chase the first breakout candle — we buy/sell the retest + resume. 3. Structural Levels (“Diamonds”) • Green diamond (below bar): bullish pivot low formed while the trend is bullish. This marks defended support. - Use it as a re-entry zone for longs. - Use it to trail a stop higher when you’re already long. - Shorts can take profit here because buyers stepped in. • Red diamond (above bar): bearish pivot high formed while the trend is bearish. This marks defended resistance. - Use it as a re-entry zone for shorts. - Use it to trail a stop lower when you’re already short. - Longs can take profit here because sellers stepped in. 4. Entry Signals • BUY arrow (green triangle up under the candle, text like “BUY” / “BUY Zone”): - LongSetup is true. - Trend is bullish or turning bullish. - Price just bounced off recent defended support (green diamond) and reclaimed short-term momentum. Meaning: enter long here or cover/exit shorts. • SELL arrow (red triangle down above the candle): - ShortSetup is true. - Trend is bearish or turning bearish. - Price just rolled down from defended resistance (red diamond) and lost short-term momentum. Meaning: enter short here or take profit on longs. These are the primary trade entries. They are meant to be actionable. 5. Weak Setups (“W” in yellow) • Yellow triangle with “W”: - A possible long/short idea is trying to form, BUT the higher-timeframe confirmation is not fully there yet. - Think of it as early pressure / early caution, not a full signal. • You usually watch these areas rather than jumping in immediately. 6. Exit Warning (orange “EXIT” label above a bar) • The strategy will raise an EXIT marker when you’re in a trade and the *opposite* side just produced a confirmed setup. - You’re short and a valid longSetup appears → EXIT. - You’re long and a valid shortSetup appears → EXIT. • This is basically: “Close or reduce — the other side just took control.” • It’s not just a trailing stop hit; it’s a regime flip warning. 7. Stop, Target, and Trailing • On every new setup, the script records: - Initial stop: recent swing beyond the defended level (below support for longs, above resistance for shorts). - Initial target: recent opposing swing. • While you’re in position, if new confirming diamonds print in your favor, the stop can trail toward the new defended level. • This creates structure-based risk management (not just fixed % or ATR). 8. Reference Levels • The strategy also plots prior higher-timeframe closes (last week’s close, last month’s close, last year’s close). These can behave as magnets or stall points. • They’re helpful for take-profit timing and for reading “are we trading above or below last month’s close?” 9. Momentum Panel (hidden by default) • Internally, the script calculates an SMI-style momentum oscillator with overbought/oversold zones. • This is optional visual confirmation and does not drive the core entry/exit logic. --------------------------------- WHAT A TRADE LOOKS LIKE IN REAL PRICE ACTION --------------------------------- Early warning • Yellow W + red diamonds + red down arrows = “This is getting weak. Short setups are here.” • You may also see something like “My Short Entry Id.” That’s where the short side actually engages. Bearish follow-through, then exhaustion • Price bleeds down. • Then the orange EXIT appears. → Translation: “If you’re still short, close it. Buyers are stepping in hard. Risk of reversal is now high.” Regime flip • Right after EXIT, multiple green BUY arrows fire together (“BUY”, “BUYZone”). • That’s the true long trigger. → This is where you either enter long or flip from short to long. Expansion leg • After that flip, price rips up for multiple candles / days / weeks. • While it runs: - Green diamonds appear under pullbacks → “dip buy zones / trail stop up here.” - More BUY arrows show on minor pullbacks → continuation long / scale adds. Distribution / topping • Later, you start seeing new yellow W triangles again near local highs. That’s your “careful, this might be topping” warning. • You finally get a hard red candle, and green diamonds stop stacking. → That’s where you tighten risk, scale out, or assume the move is mature. In plain terms, the model is doing the following for you: • It puts you short during weakness. • It tells you when to get OUT of the short. • It flips you long right as control changes. • It gives you a structure-based trail the whole way up. • It warns you again when momentum at the top starts cracking. That is exactly how the logic was designed. --------------------------------- QUICK INTERPRETATION CHEAT SHEET --------------------------------- 🔻 Red triangle + “Short Entry” near a red diamond → Short entry zone (or take profit on a long). 🟥 Red diamond above bar → Sellers defended here. Treat it as resistance. Good place to trail short stops just above that level. Avoid chasing longs straight into it. 🟨 Yellow W → Attention only. Early pressure / possible turn. Not fully confirmed. 🟧 EXIT (orange label) → The opposite side just printed a real setup. Close the old idea (cover shorts if you’re short, exit longs if you’re long). Thesis invalid. 🟩 Burst of green BUY triangles after EXIT → Long entry. Also a “cover shorts now” alert. This is the core money entry in bullish reversals. 💎 Green diamond below bar → Bulls defended that level. Good for trailing your long stop up, and good “buy the dip in trend” locations. 📈 Blue / teal MAs stacked and rising → Confirmed bullish structure. You’re in trend continuation mode, so dips are opportunities, not automatic exits. --------------------------------- COLOR / SHAPE KEY --------------------------------- • Green triangle up (“BUY”, “BUY Zone”): Long entry / cover shorts / continuation long trigger. • Red triangle down: Short entry / take profit on longs / continuation short trigger. • Orange “EXIT” label: Opposite side just fired a real setup. The previous trade thesis is now invalid. • Green diamond below price: Bullish defended support in an uptrend. Use for dip buys, trailing stops on longs, and objective cover zones for shorts. • Red diamond above price: Bearish defended resistance in a downtrend. Use for re-entry shorts, trailing stops on shorts, and objective scale-out zones for longs. • Yellow “W”: Weak / early potential setup. Watch it, don’t blindly trust it. • Moving average bands (fast MA, slow MA, Hull MA): When stacked and rising, bullish control. When stacked and falling, bearish control. --------------------------------- INTENT --------------------------------- This system is built to: • Trade with momentum, not against it. • Enter on pullbacks into proven structure, not chase stretched breakouts. • Automate stop/target logic around actual defended swing levels. • Warn you when the other side takes over so you don’t give back gains. Typical usage: 1. In an uptrend, wait for price to pull back, print a green diamond (support proved), then take the first BUY arrow that fires. 2. In a downtrend, wait for a bounce into resistance, print a red diamond (sellers proved), then take the first SELL arrow that fires. 3. Respect EXIT when it appears — that’s the model saying “this trade is done.” --------------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- This script is for educational and research purposes only.

X C/P VPDescription The X C/P VP indicator visualizes intraperiod option flow dynamics for any selected call and put contracts. It plots the volume of both options as overlapping histograms, allowing traders to observe where liquidity and participation are concentrated. A small dot appears above a bar only when the option’s closing price increases relative to the prior bar, providing an immediate visual cue of upward price pressure within volume spikes. By combining these two layers—volume intensity and directional confirmation—the indicator makes it easy to spot where the market is actively repricing risk across the call/put structure. Use Case Designed for 0DTE and short-dated options, especially index ETFs such as QQQ or SPY. Helps traders compare call vs. put participation to gauge sentiment skew and intraday balance. Useful for monitoring volume surges tied to delta hedging, gamma shifts, or option repricing following volatility or directional moves. Can be applied on 1-minute to 15-minute timeframes to observe how option volume evolves through key market sessions (e.g., open, midday, close). Dots highlight periods where premium expansion accompanies increased volume—often an early sign of momentum or positioning bias. Summary X C/P VP serves as a lightweight, visually intuitive tool to read the rhythm of call and put activity intraday—offering an at-a-glance pulse of which side of the options market is taking control.

Retail vs Banker Net Positions – Symmetry BreakRetail vs Banker Net Positions – Symmetry Break (Institution Focus) Description: This advanced indicator is a volume-proxy-based positioning tool that separates institutional vs. retail behavior using bar structure, trend-following logic, and statistical analysis. It identifies net position flows over time, detects institutional aggression spikes, and highlights symmetry breaks—those moments when institutional action diverges sharply from retail behavior. Designed for intraday to swing traders, this is a powerful tool for gauging smart money activity and retail exhaustion. What It Does: Separates Volume into Two Groups: Institutional Proxy: Volume on large bars in trend direction Retail Proxy: Volume on small or counter-trend bars Calculates Net Positions (%): Smooths cumulative buying vs. selling behavior for each group over time. Highlights Symmetry Breaks: Alerts when institutions make statistically abnormal moves while retail is quiet or doing the opposite. Detects Extremes in Institutional Activity: Flags major tops/bottoms in institutional positioning using swing pivots or rolling windows. Retail Sentiment Flips: Marks when the retail line crosses the zero line (e.g., flipping from net short to net long). How to Use It: Interpreting the Two Lines: Aqua/Orange Line (Institutional Proxy): Rising above zero = Net buying bias Falling below zero = Net selling bias Lime/Red Line (Retail Proxy): Green = Retail buying; Red = Retail selling Watch for crosses of zero for sentiment shifts Spotting Symmetry Breaks: Pink Circle or Background Highlight = Institutions made a sharp, outsized move while retail was: Quiet (low ROC), or Moving in the opposite direction These often precede explosive directional moves or stop hunts. Institutional Extremes: Marked with aqua (top) or orange (bottom) dots Based on swing pivot logic or rolling highs/lows in institutional positioning Optional filter: Only show extremes that coincide with a symmetry break Settings You Can Tune: Lookback lengths for trend, z-scores, smoothing Z-Score thresholds to control sensitivity Retail quiet filters to reduce false positives Cool-down timer to avoid rapid repeat signals Toggle visual aids like shading, markers, and threshold lines Alerts Included: -Retail flips (green/red) - Institutional symmetry breaks - Institutional extreme tops/bottoms Strategy Tip: Use this indicator to track institutional accumulation or distribution phases and catch asymmetric inflection points where the "smart money" acts decisively. Confluence with price structure or FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) can further enhance signal quality.
