Indicators and strategies
Core Suite Essentials This script provides institutional-grade, multi-factor market analysis in a unified toolkit. Its true sophistication lies in its ability to reveal the critical interplay—the "dance"—between its core components, offering a profound view of market structure, momentum, and trend health that goes far beyond standard indicators.
Core Differentiators
Reveals the Core Trend "Dance":
The script masterfully visualizes the critical interaction between three foundational elements:
Ichimoku (Tenkan Sen & Kijun Sen): The leading actors defining momentum and equilibrium.
Bollinger Middle Band (BBM): The dynamic stage of support/resistance.
This interaction provides an institutional-grade read on trend integrity:
Strong Trend: A clean, bullish alignment with the Tenkan Sen leading, the Kijun Sen following, and the BBM acting as firm support confirms a powerful, unified move.
Trend Break Warning: The BBM moving between the Tenkan and Kijun signals convergence and compression, a critical alert of weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Confirmation:
This core trend analysis is fortified with a layered momentum gauge, providing a robust, institutional-style confirmation system:
Proprietary RSI-Based Bands across weekly, daily, and intraday frames.
Stochastic Channels (Sto12/Sto50) for additional context on price position.
Strategic Filters for Swing & Position Traders:
For higher-timeframe analysis, it delivers essential quantitative tools:
AnEMA29 Angle: Objectively quantifies trend strength and direction.
PDMDR (DMI Ratio): Measures directional dominance to filter low-conviction markets.
Integrated Cross-Asset Intelligence:
Completing the institutional perspective is a Correlation & Hedging Assistant, contextualizing price action against peers and identifying strategic opportunities based on RSI divergences.
Conclusion
This is not a mere collection of indicators; it is a consolidated analytical workstation. It captures the nuanced "dance" of the core trend triad, layers on multi-timeframe momentum confirmation, and provides strategic filters for timing and cross-asset context. This holistic, institutional-grade approach delivers a definitive and actionable market narrative.

Swing HL**摆动点标注（Swing HL）**
本指标用于在价格图表上标示摆动高点与摆动低点，以辅助用户观察价格结构、波段节奏及潜在支撑/阻力区域。标注以圆点形式叠加在主图上，可通过参数灵活控制显示周期、敏感度及视觉样式，适合作为价格结构分析的辅助工具。
### 参数及用法说明
1. **最小显示时间框架（minSwingTf）**
* 用途：设定摆动点开始显示的最小周期。
* 当前图表周期小于该设置时，不显示任何摆动标注。
* 建议：
* 做中短线结构分析时，可设置为 240 分钟或更高；
* 若需要在更小周期观察结构，可适当降低该参数。
2. **left / right（leftBars / rightBars）**
* 用途：共同控制摆动高点、低点识别的“严格程度”和频率。
* 调整建议：
* 数值较小：标注更频繁，适合关注细节波动、短线结构；
* 数值较大：只保留更明显的摆动点，适合观察中期或波段结构；
* 当图表上摆动点过多、显得拥挤时，可适当增大这两个参数。
3. **标注颜色（dotColor）**
* 用途：设置摆动点圆标的颜色。
* 建议根据图表背景及主图颜色进行调整，以保证摆动点清晰可见但不过于抢眼。
4. **线宽（dotWidth）**
* 用途：控制圆点标注的线宽，从而影响圆点的视觉大小。
* 当需要在高密度数据或缩放较小时保持清晰，可适当增大该数值。
### 使用建议
* 可将本指标作为结构辅助层叠加在任何交易系统之上，用于直观划分价格的波段高低点。
* 进行多周期分析时，可在较大周期（如 4H、日线）上利用本指标确认整体结构，再配合小周期执行入场与风控。
* 当摆动点过多时，可通过提高 `minSwingTf` 或增加 `left` / `right` 参数，使结构标注更加简洁清晰。
* 本指标仅提供价格摆动结构的可视化标注，不直接构成完整的交易信号或策略规则，建议与个人既有分析方法结合使用。

**Swing HL – Swing High/Low Marker**
This indicator marks swing highs and swing lows on the price chart to assist in reading price structure, swing rhythm, and potential support/resistance zones. Markers are plotted as dots on the main chart, and display behavior can be fully controlled via user inputs such as minimum timeframe, sensitivity, and visual style. It is designed to serve as a structural overlay for discretionary or systematic analysis.
### Inputs and Usage
1. **Minimum Display Timeframe (minSwingTf)**
* Purpose: Defines the minimum timeframe on which swing markers will be shown.
* When the current chart timeframe is below this setting, all swing markers are hidden.
* Guidance:
* For swing or position-style structure analysis, consider using 4H or higher;
* For intraday structural work, you may lower this value as needed.
2. **left / right (leftBars / rightBars)**
* Purpose: Jointly control how strict and how frequent swing highs and lows are marked.
* Tuning:
* Smaller values: More frequent swings, suitable for detailed, lower-timeframe structure;
* Larger values: Only more pronounced swings are kept, suitable for higher-level trend and swing mapping;
* If the chart becomes crowded with markers, increasing these values will simplify the structure.
3. **Marker Color (dotColor)**
* Purpose: Sets the color of the swing markers.
* It is recommended to choose a color that contrasts with the background and main price plot while remaining visually unobtrusive.
4. **Line Width (dotWidth)**
* Purpose: Controls the line width of the dot markers, effectively adjusting their perceived size.
* On dense charts or when zoomed out, a larger value can help maintain readability.
### Practical Notes
* Use this indicator as a structural overlay to highlight swing highs and lows alongside your existing trading tools and methods.
* In multi-timeframe workflows, it can help outline the main structure on higher timeframes (e.g., 4H, Daily), which you then refine on lower timeframes for execution.
* If too many swing points appear, either increase `minSwingTf` or raise the `left` / `right` values to obtain a cleaner structural view.
* The script is intended as a visualization aid for price swings; it does not, by itself, define entry, exit, or risk management rules and should be integrated into a broader analytical framework.

True Gap Finder with Revisit DetectionTrue Gap Finder with Revisit Detection
This indicator is a powerful tool for intraday traders to identify and track price gaps. Unlike simple gap indicators, this script actively tracks the status of the gap, visualizing the void until it is filled (revisited) by price.
Key Features:
Active Gap Tracking: Finds gap-up and gap-down occurrences (where Low > Previous High or High < Previous Low) and actively tracks them.
Gap Zones (Clouds): Visually shades the empty "gap zone" (the void between the gap candles), making it instantly obvious where price needs to travel to fill the gap. The cloud disappears automatically once the gap is filled.
Dynamic Labels: automatically displays price labels at the origin of the gap, showing the specific price range (High-Low) that constitutes the gap. Labels are positioned intelligently to avoid cluttering current price action.
Alerts: Configurable alerts notify you the moment a gap is filled.
Customization: Full control over colors, clouds, labels, and alert settings to match your chart style.
How it works: The indicator tracks the most recent gap. If a new gap forms, it becomes the active focus. When price moves back to "close" or "fill" this gap area, the lines and clouds automatically stop plotting, giving you a clean chart that focuses only on open business.

Rolling Z-Score (Quant Lab)What does this Z-Score measure?
• src (default = close) → the value of the series you selected
• len → the window you are measuring based on the average of the last few bars
• Z ≈ 0 → price close to the average
• Z > 2 → price 2 standard deviations above the average (extremely positive deviation)
• Z < -2 → 2 standard deviations below the average (extremely negative deviation)
In modern mean-reversion strategies:
• Z > +2 → short / take profit candidate
• Z < –2 → long / dip buy candidate
Prev Day ±1% BoundaryThis indicator plots dynamic intraday price bands based on the previous day’s close. It calculates a reference price using yesterday’s daily close and draws:
An upper boundary at +1% above the previous close
A lower boundary at –1% below the previous close
These levels are shown as horizontal lines across all intraday bars, with an optional shaded zone between them.
How to use:
Use the boundaries as intraday reference levels for potential support, resistance, or mean-reversion zones.
When price trades near the upper band, it may indicate short-term extension to the upside relative to the prior close.
When price trades near the lower band, it may indicate short-term extension to the downside.
The shaded region between the lines highlights a ±1% normal fluctuation zone around the previous day’s closing price.
This tool is especially useful for intraday traders on indices like SPX, providing quick visual context for how far price has moved relative to the prior session’s close.
MorphWave Bands [JOAT]MorphWave Bands - Adaptive Volatility Envelope System
MorphWave Bands create a dynamic price envelope that automatically adjusts its width based on current market conditions. Unlike static Bollinger Bands, this indicator blends ATR and standard deviation with an efficiency ratio to expand during trending conditions and contract during consolidation.
What This Indicator Does
Plots adaptive upper and lower bands around a customizable moving average basis
Automatically adjusts band width using a blend of ATR and standard deviation
Detects volatility squeezes when bands contract to historical lows
Highlights breakouts when price moves beyond the bands
Provides squeeze alerts for anticipating volatility expansion
Adaptive Mechanism
The bands adapt through a multi-step process:
// Blend ATR and Standard Deviation
blendedVol = useAtrBlend ? (atrVal * 0.6 + stdVal * 0.4) : stdVal
// Normalize volatility to its historical range
volNorm = (blendedVol - volLow) / (volHigh - volLow)
// Create adaptive multiplier
adaptMult = baseMult * (0.5 + volNorm * adaptSens)
This creates bands that respond to market regime changes while maintaining stability.
Squeeze Detection
A squeeze is identified when band width drops below a specified percentile of its historical range:
Background highlighting indicates active squeeze conditions
Low percentile readings suggest compressed volatility
Squeeze exits often precede directional moves
Inputs Overview
Band Length — Period for basis calculation (default: 20)
Base Multiplier — Starting band width multiplier (default: 2.0)
MA Type — Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or HMA
Adaptation Lookback — Historical period for normalization (default: 50)
Adaptation Sensitivity — How much bands respond to volatility changes
Squeeze Threshold — Percentile below which squeeze is detected
Dashboard Information
Current trend direction relative to basis and bands
Band width percentage
Squeeze status (Active or None)
Efficiency ratio
Current adaptive multiplier value
How to Use It
Look for squeeze conditions as potential precursors to breakouts
Use band touches as dynamic support/resistance references
Monitor breakout signals when price closes beyond bands
Combine with momentum indicators for directional confirmation
Alerts
Upper/Lower Breakout — Price exceeds band boundaries
Squeeze Entry/Exit — Volatility compression begins or ends
Basis Crosses — Price crosses the center line

FF calculation Saptarshi ChatterjeeForward factor (in options contexts) measures implied volatility (IV) for a future period between two expirations, like from 30 DTE (days to expiry) front-month to 60 DTE back-month options.
This indicator calculates the FORWARD FACTOR(FF) using 2 IVs of 2 DTEs.
+ve value means front DTE is rich in premium and back expiry is cheap.
-ve value means front DTE IV is cheap and 2nd DTE is expensive
we can use this term structure disbalance to trade calendar spreads with edge.

VCAI Stochastic RSI+VCAI Stoch RSI+ is a cleaned-up Stochastic RSI built with V-Core colours for faster, clearer momentum reads and more reliable OB/OS signals.
What it shows:
Purple %K line → bearish momentum strengthening
Yellow %D line → bullish momentum building and smoothing
Soft purple/yellow background bands → OB/OS exhaustion zones, not just raw 80/20 triggers
Midline at 50 → balance point where momentum shifts between bull- and bear-side control
Optional HTF mode → run Stoch RSI from any timeframe while viewing it on your current chart
How to read it:
Both lines rising out of OS → early bullish shift; pullbacks that hold direction favour continuation
Both lines falling from OB → early bearish shift; bounces into the purple OB zone can become fade setups
Lines stacked and moving together → strong, cleaner momentum
Lines crossing repeatedly → low-conviction, choppy conditions
OB/OS shading highlights exhaustion so you focus on moves with context, not every 80/20 tick
Why it’s different:
Classic Stoch RSI is hyper-sensitive and mostly noise.
VCAI Stoch RSI+ applies V-Core’s colour-driven regime logic, controlled OB/OS shading, and optional HTF smoothing so you see momentum structure instead of clutter — making it easier to judge when momentum is genuinely shifting and when it’s just another wiggle.
Fixed $200 Risk Futures Position Sizer (2R Target)This indicator is designed for traders who want to follow a strict, professional-style risk model identical to the rules used in funded futures trading programs. Instead of risking a percentage of the account, the indicator always risks a fixed $200 per trade, regardless of contract or market volatility. This allows traders to simulate evaluation accounts and maintain perfect risk discipline.
The tool works across a wide range of futures markets — including micro, mini, and continuous contracts (MES, MNQ, MNQ1!, MYM, M2K, MCL, MGC, ES1!, NQ1!, GC1!) — and automatically loads the correct tick size and tick value for each contract. This ensures that stop distance and risk calculations are always accurate, even when switching between index futures, metals, or energy markets.
You simply enter your Entry Price and Stop Loss Price, and the indicator calculates:
The stop distance in points and ticks
The exact dollar risk per contract
The maximum number of contracts allowed while staying under a fixed $200 risk
A fully automated 2R take-profit target (equivalent to $400 profit per trade)
Expected profit per contract
Total projected profit based on allowed size
Full long/short direction detection
This makes position sizing effortless and completely rule-based. If the chosen stop-loss distance requires more than $200 of risk per contract, the indicator will automatically show 0 contracts allowed, preventing invalid trades and helping maintain consistency.
For clarity and execution, the indicator also plots:
A green Entry Line
A red Stop-Loss Line
A blue 2R Take-Profit Line
This produces a visual, easy-to-understand risk-to-reward layout directly on the chart.
This tool is ideal for traders preparing for funded account challenges, traders practicing mechanical risk systems, or anyone who wants to enforce a strict, repeatable risk framework. It eliminates guesswork, improves consistency, and helps traders build discipline by sizing every trade according to a fixed dollar risk with a precise 2R reward objective.
9/39 EMA Crossover + ADX + RSI Filter (No builtin ADX)
9/39 EMA Crossover + ADX + RSI Filter
This indicator combines classic trend‑following EMAs with momentum and trend‑strength filters to generate high‑quality Buy/Sell signals. It is designed for traders who want cleaner entries, reduced noise, and confirmation‑based signals.
✅ How It Works
1. EMA Trend Logic
• Buy Signal:
9 EMA crosses above 39 EMA
• Sell Signal:
9 EMA crosses below 39 EMA
This captures short‑term momentum shifts within the broader trend.
✅ 2. ADX Trend Strength Filter
To avoid weak or sideways markets, signals only trigger when:
• ADX > 20
This ensures the market has enough directional strength before taking trades.
✅ 3. RSI Momentum Filter
Momentum must align with the direction of the crossover:
• Buy: RSI > 50
• Sell: RSI < 50
This prevents counter‑trend entries and improves signal reliability.
✅ Final Signal Conditions
✅ BUY
• 9 EMA crosses above 39 EMA
• ADX > 20
• RSI > 50
✅ SELL
• 9 EMA crosses below 39 EMA
• ADX > 20
• RSI < 50
✅ Features
• Clean BUY/SELL labels on chart
• ADX calculated manually (compatible with all Pine environments)
• Alerts included for automation
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
✅ Best Use‑Cases
• Trend‑following strategies
• Swing trading
• Intraday momentum confirmation
• Filtering out sideways/noisy markets

Crypto Leverage Index(OI Norm. + FR)Crypto Leverage Index (OI Z-Score + Funding Rate Signals)
(A tool for detecting speculative extremes and leverage load in crypto derivatives markets.)
Hello, fellow traders around the globe!
In today's crypto futures market, often perceived as a 'playground for large players' (whales/smart money), catching extreme leverage behavior is crucial for survival. I wanted to come up with an indicator to quickly identify such market extremes by focusing on the two most potent indicators of leveraged action: Open Interest (OI) and Funding Rate (FR). The goal is to ride on the shoulders of the market movers by anticipating their next liquidity-driven actions. hope this helps.
❗ IMPORTANT NOTE: This indicator works exclusively on Perpetual Futures or Swap Charts that provide Open Interest (OI) data.
⚪ Overview
This indicator provides a standardized view of speculative activity by calculating the Open Interest (OI) Z-Score . This score reveals when the current level of open leverage is abnormally high (premium) or low (discount) relative to its historical mean and volatility. The index is also augmented with Extreme Funding Rate Signals , which plot simple White Dots on the chart when derivative positioning (long or short bias) reaches an unsustainable, overheated level. The combination of OI volume and positioning bias offers a good method to identify potential market reversal zones driven by leverage liquidation risks (short/long squeezes).
⚪ Score Components
Open Interest Z-Score (Leverage Load)
The primary component standardizes the Open Interest value over a defined lookback `Period` (default 50). This calculation reveals the statistical deviation of current leverage from the norm.
OI Z-Score = (OI - Mean(OI)) / StDev(OI)
Funding Rate (Positioning Bias)
Calculates the approximate funding rate using a TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) of the Perpetual Futures Premium, combined with the standard 0.01% Interest Rate.
⚪ Extreme Condition Detection
OI Z-Score Extremes
* Premium Zone (Red Fill) : OI Z-Score is above the user-defined `Threshold` (default 2.0). Indicates high/overstretched leverage.
* Discount Zone (Green Fill) : OI Z-Score is below the user-defined negative threshold (default -2.0). Indicates low/unwinded leverage.
Funding Rate Extreme Signals (White Dots)
These appear as small White Dots ( · ) plotted at fixed levels within the indicator pane. The position indicates the bias:
* Top Dot (Excessive Longs) : Triggered when Funding Rate is greater than Abnormal Funding Rate Threshold (e.g. 0.03%). Indicates excessive Long positioning/greed and potential for a short-term reversal (Long Squeeze risk). The dot is plotted at the positive `FR Signal Plot Level`.
* Bottom Dot (Excessive Shorts) : Triggered when Funding Rate is lower than -Abnormal Funding Rate Threshold(e.g. -0.03%). Indicates excessive Short positioning/fear and potential for a short-term reversal (Short Squeeze risk). The dot is plotted at the negative `FR Signal Plot Level`.
⚪ Leverage Case Scenarios (Price, OI Dynamics & Context)
The OI Z-Score reflects the premium/discount state of *leverage* (Open Interest) , not the price. The price may not be in a premium or discount area simply because the OI is. OI only indicates the volume of outstanding futures positions. You must observe price action and candlestick patterns alongside the OI movements to determine the true contextual hint. Understanding the relationship between price and Open Interest (OI) change is key to interpreting market movements. The cases listed below represent the most common and thinkable patterns, but do not exhaust all possible market behaviors.
1. Long Build-Up (Price ▲, OI ▲): New long positions enter, confirming the rising trend.
2. Short Build-Up (Price ▼, OI ▲): New short positions enter, confirming the falling trend. Due to the inherently long-biased nature of the crypto market, this scenario is less frequently observed than Long Build-Up.
3. Long Covering/liquidation (Price ▼, OI ▼): Existing longs are closed/liquidated. This activity usually results from Panic Selling or forced long liquidation.
4. Short Covering (Price ▲, OI ▼): Existing shorts are forced to close (Short Squeeze).
5. Long Trap (Price ▲, OI ▲ or ▼): Price rises, but OI suggests new positioning that might be trapping longs. Bearish candle pattern can be often shown with the sweep.
6. Short Trap (Price ▼, OI ▲ or ▼): Warning Sign - Price falls, but OI suggests new positioning that might be trapping shorts.
⚪ Key Input Parameters
OI Z-Score
* Period (Default: 50)
Determines how many recent bars are used to calculate the rolling mean and volatility (standard deviation) of the Open Interest data.
* Z-Score Threshold (Default: 2.0)
The critical level that the OI Z-Score must cross to be considered 'extreme' (overstretched leverage).
Funding Rate
* Abnormal FR Threshold (Default: 0.03)
The absolute percentage value (e.g., 0.03%) that the Funding Rate must exceed or fall below to trigger an extreme signal dot.
* FR Signal Plot Level (Default: 4.0)
Sets the fixed vertical position (Y-level) on the Z-Score chart where the Funding Rate signal dots will appear. (e.g., 4.0 plots the dot at the Z-Score +-4.0 level).

MTF Switch Level (Single TF)Multi-timeframe Switch Level (Single TF)
This indicator marks the most recent “switch level” created by breakout / breakdown behaviour on the current timeframe.
How it works
– After a bullish breakout (close above the previous bar’s high), the script sets a bearish switch level at that previous high.
– After a bearish breakdown (close below the previous bar’s low), it sets a bullish switch level at that previous low.
– A single horizontal line extends from the latest switch level.
– The line and “S” label turn bullish when price is above the level and bearish when price is below it.
– Optional alerts fire when price crosses the active switch level.
Use-cases
– Visualise where breakout traders are likely trapped.
– Define a simple “above = bullish / below = bearish” bias line.
– Combine with higher-timeframe analysis or other tools for context.
Inputs
– Enable/disable bullish and bearish switch conditions.
– Line length, colour, style, thickness.
– Label position and offsets.
– Alert conditions for crosses.

Triple Moving Average's EMA/SMAThis Pine Script in its final v5 version is a fundamental visual tool that supports traders in quickly identifying the trend and sentiment.
Key Script Goal
This script's primary objective is flexible multi-timeframe analysis of the trend.
The script serves as a universal set of three independent moving averages, which is intended to help you with the visual assessment of the market context:
EMA (20 periods): Serves as dynamic support/resistance for short-term sentiment. It is highly sensitive to recent price action.

VCAI Volume & Liquidity Map LiteVCAI Volume & Liquidity Map Lite visualises recent market participation using a horizontal liquidity/volume histogram plotted beside current price.
It shows where trading activity has clustered, where the chart is thin, and how much of that activity came from buying vs selling pressure.
This Lite edition keeps the tool simple and fast:
Yellow = buy-side volume (aggressive buyers / upward pressure)
Purple = sell-side volume (aggressive sellers / downward pressure)
Thicker sections = higher traded volume at that price
POC line (purple) marks the price with the highest volume concentration
Value Area lines (yellow dashed) mark where ~70% of volume has traded
Bars extend outward to the right of price for a clean, unobstructed chart
Lookback setting controls how many candles the map is built from
Use it to quickly identify:
high-interest price zones
low-liquidity areas where price can move fast
likely reaction levels
where momentum may slow, reverse, or break through
Designed as a lightweight, open-source tool for anyone wanting a clean liquidity/volume map without complex settings.
Part of the VCAI Lite Series.
