Multi ATR Volatility Bands CockpitMulti ATR Volatility Bands Cockpit Multi ATR Volatility Bands Cockpit is a read-only volatility context indicator designed to describe how volatile the market is and where price currently sits within that volatility, using an EMA anchor and multiple ATR-based envelopes. This tool does not generate trade signals or place orders. It is intended to support situational awareness and contextual analysis across symbols and timeframes. What this indicator shows Volatility Regime Classifies current volatility using ATR as a percentage of price (e.g., Quiet, Normal, Volatile, Extreme). Envelope Structure Uses multiple ATR envelopes around an EMA to visualize typical, elevated, and extreme volatility ranges. Price Location Describes where price is relative to the envelopes (inside, outside, or beyond typical ranges). Plain-Language Context A concise, non-actionable explanation of the current volatility environment. What makes this indicator unique Unlike traditional band indicators that require interpretation from the chart alone, this script includes a Volatility “Cockpit” panel that summarizes volatility conditions in a clear, structured, and descriptive format. The cockpit: Translates raw volatility metrics into labeled regimes Separates context from decision-making Is designed to reduce interpretation ambiguity rather than generate signals This makes the indicator suitable as a context layer alongside other analysis tools, rather than a standalone decision engine. Display modes Cockpit (Minimal) Clean overlay with the EMA, outer envelope, and informational panel. Bands (Detail) Full ATR band stack with optional fills for deeper inspection of volatility structure. Important notes Indicator only — no trade execution, no buy/sell signals, no alerts All calculations are based on confirmed historical bar data No lookahead logic is used Results vary by symbol, timeframe, and parameter selection Intended use This indicator is designed for traders and analysts who want to understand volatility conditions before making decisions elsewhere, not for generating entries or exits on its own.

Short-Term Weekly Refuges (Shelters)## // Introduction // ══════════════ Short-Term Weekly Refuges (Shelters) (WR or RS) is a structural analysis indicator designed to track price action during the current week. It combines a configurable ZigZag with Fibonacci retracements anchored to recent phases, using the Weekly Opening Price (W.O.P.) as a key reference level. This indicator is optimized for 4H timeframe but also works on 1H and 15min charts. ## // Theoretical Foundation of the Indicator // ═══════════════════════════════ The WR (RS) indicator provides a structural framework for following price action during the current trading week. The core concept: Recent ZigZag phases, combined with the Weekly Opening Price, create dynamic support and resistance levels that institutional traders often monitor and use for intraweek positioning. The indicator allows you to select which recent phase (1-10) serves as the Fibonacci anchor. ## // Indicator Objectives // ══════════════════ 1) Display a configurable ZigZag showing recent price structure with numbered phases (1 = most recent). Users should configure the ZigZag parameters based on whether they are analyzing a Major Degree Pattern (larger swings, less noise) or a Minor Degree Pattern (smaller swings, more detail), following standard Elliott Wave terminology. Configure the ZigZag to match the degree of your analysis: use higher Depth values for Major Degree Patterns, or lower values for Minor Degree Patterns. 2) Draw Fibonacci retracements on a user-selected phase, with two modes: • "On ZigZag": Traditional Fibonacci on the selected phase. • "Relative to W.O.P.": Fibonacci from phase anchor (i0) to Weekly Opening Price. 3) Show Weekly Opening Price lines as horizontal references, with the current week's line extended into the future. 4) Provide Pivot Up/Down markers for additional confirmation of local highs and lows. 5) Support multiple simultaneous indicator loads with visual identifier labels to distinguish between different analysis degrees (e.g., "Major Degree Pattern" vs "Minor Degree Pattern"). 6) Optional Embedded Indicator: Enable Intraday Shelters (RID) - percentage-based support/resistance levels calculated from the Daily Opening Price, useful for 1H and 15min trading. ## // Key Features // ══════════════ • **Flexible ZigZag**: Adjustable Depth, Deviation, and Backstep parameters to adapt to any asset's volatility. • **Phase Selection**: Choose from the 10 most recent phases for Fibonacci anchoring. • **Dual Fibonacci Modes**: Trace on the ZigZag phase itself, or relative to the Weekly Opening Price. • **New Age Color Palette**: Professional Fibonacci color scheme used by old school experienced traders. • **Weekly Opening Price (W.O.P.)**: Historical weekly opens plus current week projection. • **"Show Only W.O.P." Mode**: Isolate just the Weekly Opening Price line for cleaner charts on non-4H timeframes. • **Optional Intraday Shelters (RID)**: 11 percentage levels (±0.382%, ±1%, ±1.5%, ±2%, ±2.5%) based on Daily Opening Price. • **Multi-Load Support**: Visual identifier tags and Large Label for running multiple indicator instances simultaneously. ## // Recommended Workflow // ═════════════════════ 1) Load the indicator on a 4H chart. 2) Adjust ZigZag parameters (Depth, Deviation) until the phases match your visual analysis of recent price structure. 3) Select the phase you want to use as Fibonacci anchor (typically Phase 2, 3 or higher). 4) Choose Fibonacci mode: "On ZigZag" for phase analysis, or "Relative to W.O.P." for analysis based on weekly opening price context. 5) Monitor how price interacts with the Fibonacci levels and Weekly Opening Price throughout the week. 6) Optionally enable RID for intraday precision on 1H or 15min charts. ## // Integration with Other Refuge Indicators // ════════════════════════════════ WR (RS) is part of a complete refuge-based analysis ecosystem: • LTR (RLP) (Long-Term Refuges): For automatic determination of the predominant phase of a ZigZag, which institutional investors choose as the basis for a Fibo whose levels calculate the projection for order placement over the following months and years. • LTRS (RLPS) (Simple Long-Term Refuges): Simplified version of LTR in which the known coordinates of the predominant phases (obtained with the LTR indicator) of one or up to five assets are easily captured for permanent long-term operation. • WR (RS) (Short-Term Weekly Refuges): (This indicator) For short-term tactical analysis (4H, 1H) based on chosen phases of a ZigZag that define Fibo levels generated during the near past week(s) and probably effective in the present week. • IDR (RID) (Intra-Day Refuges): For daily operations relying on intraday levels on timeframes of 1H or less. Ideal for scalping traders. By combining LTR, LTRS, WR and IDR, you obtain a multi-level framework that allows you to operate with clarity at any time horizon, from intraday positions to investments spanning months and years. ## // Additional Notes // ════════════════ 1) Default parameters are optimized for volatile assets (crypto, tech stocks). For forex or less volatile instruments, consider reducing Deviation to 3-8%. 2) The "Phase in Development" (dashed line) shows the tentative current ZigZag segment that may still change as new bars form. 3) Bug reports, improvement proposals for the ZigZag generator, pattern determination, or Fibo composition, etc., will be greatly appreciated and taken into account for a future version. Best regards and happy hunting. (Sorry: Spanish translation erased trying to avoid confusing publishing banning rules).

Consolidation Zones (Range + ATR + optional ADX)Consolidation Zones — Market Compression Visualizer Consolidation Zones is a visual market-structure indicator designed to identify periods of price compression where volatility contracts and directional movement pauses. These zones often precede expansion, breakout, or trend continuation, making them critical areas for trade preparation and risk planning. Instead of relying on a single oscillator, this script evaluates price behavior over time to detect when the market is moving sideways within a defined range. When consolidation is present, the indicator highlights the zone directly on the chart, allowing traders to immediately see where balance is occurring. What This Indicator Helps You Do: Identify low-volatility, sideways markets Spot compression before expansion Avoid entering trades during chop and noise Prepare for breakout or breakdown scenarios Combine structure with your existing trend or momentum tools How to Use It Inside the zone: Expect indecision and mean-reversion behavior Break above the zone: Potential bullish expansion Break below the zone: Potential bearish expansion Use zone boundaries as context for entries, stops, and targets This indicator is intentionally non-predictive — it does not guess direction. Instead, it provides clarity, showing where the market is coiling so you can act when price reveals intent. Best Paired With Trend indicators (EMA, VWAP) Momentum tools (RSI, MACD) Volume or volatility expansion tools Notes Consolidation is timeframe-dependent — zones may differ across intervals Designed as a context tool, not a standalone signal generator This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only.

Supertrend by JKRSupertrend by JKR is a trend-following overlay that plots dynamic support/resistance bands around price and flips when the trend changes. It builds a smoothed baseline using your selected moving average type (SMA, TMA, WMA, VWMA, TEMA, HMA, EMA, or VMA). Around this baseline, it computes a volatility/range offset (classic ATR mode or Dual-Thrust range mode) and creates two trailing bands: UpTrend band (active during bullish conditions) DownTrend band (active during bearish conditions) When price closes beyond the active band, the indicator flips trend direction and switches to the opposite band. While the trend remains active, the band “trails” price and updates in a way that avoids stepping backwards, which helps keep the trend structure clean and stable. Options Trend-change arrows (optional) Bar coloring or candle overlay (optional) Designed to evaluate on bar close for stable signals Tip: Increase the Multiplier to reduce flips and widen bands; reduce Period to make the trend more responsive.

PPAO - Propagator Price Action Oscillator How PPAO works in one cycle (what it does every candle) PPAO has 3 moving parts that run every bar: 1) It measures new candle pressure (the “push”) This is the forcing term. Return (ret): did price go up or down from last close? Body: did the candle close above or below its open? CLV: did the candle close near the high or near the low of its range? With Option B, the “price action push” is directional: Body is positive on bullish candles, negative on bearish candles. CLV is: near +1 if the candle closes near the high (buying strength), near -1 if it closes near the low (selling strength). So a candle that closes weak (near the low) pushes PPAO downward even if the candle range is large. 2) It decides how much to remember vs forget (the “friction”) This is damping / decay. High volatility (noisy market) → forget faster Low volatility (cleaner market) → remember longer So PPAO adapts: in chop it won’t hold bias for long; in smooth trends it will. 3) It updates a hidden “momentum engine” (state) Internally it keeps two numbers (p and q) that store the market’s impulse with memory. Every candle: it shrinks the old state (decay), rotates it a bit (momentum/volatility creates oscillation), then adds the candle push (forcing). Finally, it converts that hidden state into a 0–100 line: > 50 means the state is aligned bullish, < 50 means it’s aligned bearish. The image below will give you an example of a deep analysis using the Propagator Price Action Oscillator (PPAO). PPAO below 30 What that means mechanically Below 30 = bearish impulse extreme. It happens when the recent candles are consistently “bearish pressure” according to the forcing inputs: returns are negative and/or candles close weak inside their range (CLV negative) and/or bodies are bearish (close < open) Also, if volatility is elevated, damping can make this flip faster and stay extreme during a strong impulse. What it means behaviorally PPAO < 30 is not “prediction.” It is diagnosis: “Recent candle pressure has been strongly bearish.” This can show up in two common market contexts: Continuation context Price is breaking structure down, and candles keep closing weak → PPAO stays < 30. Distribution / hidden weakness context (important) Price may look stable or near a high, but candles are repeatedly closing poorly inside their ranges (negative CLV). That makes PPAO drop under 30 even if price hasn’t collapsed yet. That second case is exactly why Option B (Body + CLV) is useful: it can flag weak closes / selling absorption earlier than “price-only” oscillators. PPAO above 70 What that means mechanically Above 70 = bullish impulse extreme. It occurs when the forcing inputs are strongly positive: returns are positive and/or candles close strong inside their range (CLV positive) and/or bodies are bullish (close > open) If volatility is not exploding, damping won’t erase the accumulated bullish state quickly, so PPAO can stay above 70 during sustained buying pressure. What it means behaviorally Again: not a prophecy, but an impulse read: “Recent candle pressure has been strongly bullish.” Two common contexts: Trend continuation Price is pushing higher and closes are strong → PPAO remains > 70. Exhaustion risk If price is hitting major resistance/liquidity and you start seeing weaker closes (CLV drops) while PPAO stops making new highs → that’s where reversals begin to appear. The key takeaway using both images PPAO extremes are best understood as: Below 30: “Sellers are currently dominating candle pressure.” Above 70: “Buyers are currently dominating candle pressure.” Whether that dominance leads to continuation or reversal depends on what price does next (structure + where you are on the chart). PPAO is measuring pressure, not guaranteeing outcome.

Volume Divergence Detector - COT EnhancedVolume Divergence Detector – COT Enhanced This advanced indicator analyzes institutional vs retail money flow to uncover hidden market intent, focusing on Gold and Gold Futures. Instead of relying on simple volume spikes, the script separates smart money (institutions, commercial hedgers, large speculators) from retail traders using a blend of: Volume-based accumulation/distribution Price momentum RSI behavior MACD divergence Institutional-sized volume detection Optional real CFTC Commitment of Traders (COT) data The result is a dynamic money-flow model designed to expose who is truly controlling the market. 🔹 Institutional Flow Engine Large-volume activity is tracked and converted into a smoothed institutional money line. Heavy volume is weighted more aggressively to highlight professional accumulation and distribution. When volume fades, flow naturally decays to avoid stale signals. If enabled, weekly CFTC COT data is blended into the calculation (70% internal model, 30% real positioning), providing genuine futures-market confirmation for Gold. Positive values indicate institutional buying. Negative values indicate institutional selling. 🔹 Retail Flow Engine Retail behavior is modeled using: RSI momentum (retail follows trends) MACD breakout behavior Smaller volume spikes Retail flow reacts faster and decays quicker, reflecting emotional trading and late entries. Extreme retail positioning often signals potential reversals. 🔹 Core Signals The indicator automatically detects: Institutional Takeover When institutional flow crosses above retail. Retail Takeover When retail flow crosses above institutions (often a warning sign). Bullish Setup Institutions buying + retail selling. Bearish Setup Institutions selling + retail buying. Extreme Divergence Institutional and retail flows at opposite extremes. These zones often precede major reversals or powerful trend continuations. Clear BUY / SELL labels appear directly on the chart, positioned dynamically using ATR to avoid candle overlap. 🔹 Visual Feedback Background shading shows which side currently dominates Extreme divergence adds special highlighting Real-time labels display institutional and retail values A built-in information table summarizes: Institutional flow Retail flow Dominant side Flow spread Current signal COT status Everything updates live on the last bar. 🔹 Alerts Included Custom alerts are provided for: Institutional control Retail control Bullish setups Bearish setups Extreme divergence Perfect for automation or hands-off monitoring. ⚠️ Important Notes COT data works only on Gold Futures symbols. Spot Gold uses volume-based estimation only. Designed for directional bias and timing, not blind entries. Always confirm with structure and price action. Created by xqweasdzxcv A professional-grade money flow system built to follow smart capital instead of emotional traders.

ICT Professional OB HunterICT Professional OB Hunter A professional-grade Order Block mapping tool designed for traders following Smart Money Concepts to track institutional order flow and significant market structures. This tool identifies validated Order Blocks with Break of Structure confirmation, filtering out market noise and focusing only on high-probability levels where institutional participation is evident. How It Works The script operates without repainting, using historical swing highs and lows as reference points rather than future data. Three core criteria must be satisfied before an Order Block is drawn: Strong Candle Formation: The candle must have a significant body (no dojis), exceeding the ATR threshold—indicating genuine institutional participation rather than indecision. Displacement: Following the Order Block candle, price must move with momentum exceeding 1.5x the ATR. This captures true "market shifting" moves while ignoring slow, low-volume price action. Break of Structure: Price must definitively break the previous swing high or low to confirm momentum before the Order Block is validated and drawn. What You See on the Chart Thick Blue Lines: Bullish Order Blocks representing demand zones where price historically finds support and reacts upward. Thick Orange Lines: Bearish Order Blocks representing supply zones that act as resistance. Yellow Boxes: OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) zones between the 50% and 61.8% retracement levels of the Order Block—ICT's preferred fib confluence area for precision entries. Dashed Lines: Breaker Blocks indicating former Order Blocks that have been violated by price and now act as reverse levels or "mitigated" areas. Key Differences from Standard Tools Most available Order Block indicators mark every red or green candle indiscriminately, creating excessive noise and poor trading opportunities. This code implements a displacement filter to capture only structures formed after significant, volume-backed institutional moves. It contains no future reference or repainting logic—all decisions finalize strictly on bar close based on confirmed historical data. Settings Displacement Lookback (2-5 bars): Determines how many subsequent bars to analyze for momentum confirmation after the initial Order Block candle. Three bars provides the optimal balance between responsiveness and confirmation. ATR Multiplier (0.5+): Sets the sensitivity for displacement detection. A value of 1.5 works well for Gold (XAU/USD). Lower values generate more Order Blocks but decrease quality and reliability. Mitigation Zones: Toggle the display of OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) boxes on or off. Usage Recommendations This indicator is not a standalone buy/sell signal generator—it marks zones where institutional capital is likely positioned. Recommended approach: Apply to 15-minute or 1-hour charts, particularly during the New York session (14:30-17:00 EST) when institutional volume peaks. Wait for price to reach the confluence of the Blue Line and Yellow OTE box. The setup invalidates if price closes below the OTE zone boundary. When Orange lines transition to dashed (Breaker Block), recognize that former support has become resistance; adjust position management accordingly. Risk Warning This is a statistical model based on historical price behavior, not a "holy grail" solution. Market conditions change, particularly during high-volatility macroeconomic news events (FOMC, CPI, NFP), where Order Blocks may fail. Always employ stop-loss protection and integrate this tool as one component of a comprehensive risk management strategy rather than relying on it exclusively. Written in Pine Script v6 utilizing array structures for efficient real-time line updates and optimized for performance even on older hardware configurations. Developer Note: Historical backtest analysis indicates that BOS-validated Order Blocks, particularly in Gold (XAU/USD) and major indices, demonstrate improved win rates when combined with disciplined entry criteria and proper risk management. However, the market retains ultimate authority—respect price action above all indicators.
