Vola Ghost Candle Ghost Candle Description Ghost Candle: Higher Timeframe Overlay (Future Offset) Ghost Candle is a utility indicator designed for multi-timeframe traders who want to keep an eye on the bigger picture without cluttering their chart. It draws the developing candle of a Higher Timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly) in the blank space to the right of your current price action. This allows you to see the live status of the Daily candle (Bullish/Bearish, Wick sizes, High/Low) while executing trades on lower timeframes like the 4H or 1H. Key Features Clean Visualisation: Places HTF candles in the "future" empty space, ensuring they never overlap or obscure your actual chart data. Multi-Candle History: Option to show not just the current live candle, but also the previous N candles to visualise the recent trend sequence. Smart Positioning: Automatically anchors the candle sequence so that increasing the "Lookback" history pushes candles further right, preventing them from running over your chart. Precision Layout: Centred Wicks: Wicks are perfectly aligned with the candle body. Gap Control: Adjust the spacing between ghost candles. Supports negative gaps (e.g., -1) to create a condensed, tight sequence. Dynamic Timeframes: Works on any timeframe pair. View Daily candles on a 4H chart, or Weekly candles on a Daily chart. How to Use Add to Chart: Add the indicator to a lower timeframe chart (e.g., 1H or 4H). Select Timeframe: In settings, choose your target "Ghost Candle Timeframe" (e.g., 1 Day). Adjust Position: Use the Offset setting to move the ghost candles further to the right. Note: If the candles are cut off, right-click your chart, go to Settings > Scales, and increase the Right Margin (e.g., to 20 or 30 bars). Customise History: Increase "Number of Candles to Show" to see the previous days alongside the current live day. Settings Overview Ghost Candle Timeframe: The higher timeframe you want to monitor. Position Offset: How far from the current price bar the first ghost candle begins. Candle Width: Controls the thickness of the ghost candles (Odd numbers like 3 or 5 align best). Gap Between Candles: Space between ghost candles. Set to 0 or negative values for a tighter look. Show High/Low Prices: Toggles the price labels on the wicks. This script uses request.security with lookahead_on to ensure the most current "live" data is displayed for the developing candle.

eBacktesting - Learning: Support & ResistanceeBacktesting - Learning: Support & Resistance helps you spot the price levels where the market repeatedly reacts, bounces, or rejects — the classic “floors” (support) and “ceilings” (resistance) that many day traders use to plan entries, stops, and targets. This indicator automatically marks historical support and resistance levels right where they formed, so you can scroll back and study how price respected (or broke) those zones over time. It also highlights important moments when a level is broken, showing you how a broken resistance can later act like support (and vice-versa). These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance. Educational use only. Not financial advice.

CamTrades Premium IndicatorCamTrades Premium Indicator – Institutional Market Structure & Session Mapping System The CamTrades Premium Indicator is a precision market-structure and session-mapping system built to help traders identify where liquidity lives, where institutions engage, and where price is most likely to react. This is not a buy/sell signal tool. It is a context and execution framework for discretionary traders who want clarity, structure, and higher-probability trading environments. Instead of cluttering your chart with lagging indicators and random signals, CamTrades Premium focuses on the levels that actually move markets. The CamTrades Philosophy Markets don’t move randomly. Price moves when liquidity is targeted and capital is committed. CamTrades Premium visualizes: • Where sessions establish their range • Where liquidity pools form • Where price is most likely to react • Where structure shifts matter If price isn’t at a meaningful level — you don’t trade. Core Features Session Structure Mapping • Asia, London, & New York 15-Minute Opening Ranges (High, Low, Midpoint) • Asia & London Session High/Low rays projected forward • Previous NY (RTH) High & Low (PDH / PDL) • True Day Open (TDO) reference level These levels define intraday liquidity pools where reactions are statistically more likely to occur. Auto Fibonacci Framework • Sydney → Asia 1H Auto Fibonacci • Clean right-side price labels • Designed for precision targeting, not clutter This Fibonacci system provides objective structure-based projections, not random extensions. Clean, Modular Design Every module is: • Fully toggleable • Fully customizable • Designed for clarity Your chart stays readable, professional, and distraction-free. Who This Is For • ICT / Smart Money traders • Futures, Forex, Crypto, and Index traders • Traders who value precision over frequency • Traders tired of signal spam • Traders who want context, not noise What Makes CamTrades Premium Different No guessing No signal chasing No clutter No emotional entries Just clean structure, institutional context, and execution clarity. CamTrades Premium doesn’t tell you what to trade. It shows you when trading actually makes sense. How To Use It (Best Practices) 1️⃣ Wait for price to reach a key Session or Daily Level 2️⃣ Look for structure shifts or displacement 3️⃣ Use Fibonacci & opposing liquidity as targets 4️⃣ Trade during high-volume windows (London & NY) The tool provides the map. You provide the execution. Purpose & Disclaimer This indicator provides market context and reference levels only. It does not generate trade entries, exits, or signals. All trading decisions, risk management, and outcomes are the sole responsibility of the user. Use at your own discretion.

Gold Sniper: Sweep + Patterns (Stansbooth)Gold Sniper: Sweep + Patterns is a precision trading indicator designed specifically for gold (XAUUSD) traders who want clear, high-probability entries based on liquidity sweeps and price action patterns. The indicator identifies liquidity sweeps—areas where price hunts stops above highs or below lows—then confirms potential reversals or continuations using smart price patterns. By combining these two concepts, Gold Sniper helps traders spot moments when large players have entered the market and momentum is likely to shift. Key Features Liquidity Sweep Detection Automatically highlights stop-hunt moves above resistance or below support. Pattern Confirmation Uses refined price action patterns (such as structure shifts and candle formations) to validate entries. Gold-Optimized Logic Tuned specifically for XAUUSD’s volatility and behavior. Clear Buy & Sell Signals Visual signals that reduce noise and eliminate guesswork. Intraday & Scalping Friendly Works well on lower timeframes while remaining reliable on higher ones. Why Use Gold Sniper? Gold Sniper is built for traders who want to trade with institutions, not against them. By waiting for liquidity to be taken and patterns to confirm, the indicator helps avoid false breakouts and chase trades—focusing instead on sniper-level precision entries. Ideal for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders looking for clean setups, better timing, and higher win-rate opportunities in the gold market.

ICT Rejection Zone ProICT Rejection Zone Pro HTF Liquidity Sweeps → Precision Rejection Blocks 🔥 Overview: ICT Rejection Zone Pro is an advanced ICT-inspired indicator designed to automatically identify high-probability rejection zones formed after higher-timeframe liquidity sweeps. By combining HTF market structure, daily Gann bias logic, and sweep-based rejection blocks, this tool highlights areas where price is most likely to react, reject, or reverse which allows traders to focus only on the most meaningful zones. This indicator is not about flooding your chart with boxes. It’s about context, precision, and intent. NQ 15m Chart Showing HUD, Trend Aligned Rejection Blocks with Mean Threshold Only, Mitigated Blocks, Last 10 Trends 🧠 Core Concept (What This Indicator Does): Rejection Zone Pro works in three stages: - Establishes HTF directional bias using internal trend logic - Detects liquidity sweeps beyond prior highs/lows - Builds Rejection Blocks only when price fails to hold beyond liquidity The result is a clean framework that highlights where smart money likely defended price, not where retail expects a reaction. 🚀 Key Features (At a Glance) - HTF-based directional bias dashboard - Automatic bullish & bearish rejection blocks - Liquidity sweep confirmation logic - Mean Threshold (MT) equilibrium levels - Trend-aligned filtering (optional) - Mitigation tracking (spent vs unspent zones) - Distance-to-zone HUD for execution timing - Fully customizable & performance-safe 🔍 Features Breakdown (In Depth): 1️⃣ HTF Bias Engine - Uses a higher timeframe of your choice (default: 1H) - Internally tracks swing highs/lows with trend continuation logic - Displays Bullish / Bearish bias directly on the chart HUD - Helps traders avoid counter-trend entries This is your directional compass — not a lagging moving average. 2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Detection Identifies when price: - Sweeps above prior highs and fails - Sweeps below prior lows and fails - Confirms rejection using close location, not just wicks - Logs the last sweep type in the HUD No sweep → no block → no trade. 3️⃣ Rejection Blocks (RBs) Automatically draws: - Bearish RBs after failed highs - Bullish RBs after failed lows - Blocks extend forward in time for actionable use - Maximum block count prevents chart clutter Each block represents institutional rejection, not arbitrary supply/demand. 1M Chart on ES showing recently formed Bearish Rejection Block with Mean Threshold 4️⃣ Mean Threshold (MT) Levels Optional dashed line at the equilibrium of each block Acts as: - Precision entry reference - Mitigation trigger - Distance measurement anchor Many reactions occur at MT — not at extremes. 5️⃣ Mitigation Tracking Blocks are automatically marked as spent when price mitigates them Options: - Hide mitigated blocks completely - Fade them visually for historical study This keeps your chart focused on active opportunity zones only. ES 5m Chart showing Mitigated Blocks & Trend 6️⃣ Professional Filters Trend-Aligned Mode → Only shows rejection blocks that align with HTF bias Ideal for traders who want: - Fewer signals - Higher probability setups Clean execution environments 7️⃣ HUD Dashboard Displays at a glance: - HTF Bias - Last liquidity sweep type - Distance (in ticks) to the nearest MT level This makes the indicator usable even during live execution. ES 15m Chart Showcasing HUD, Mitigated Blocks, Live Blocks including Mean Threshold ⚙️ Settings Overview Timeframe & Trend - HTF Source (bias timeframe) - Trend history length - Trend line visuals Professional Filters - Trend-aligned RBs only - Show / hide mitigated blocks Rejection Block Settings - Max number of active blocks - Forward extension length - MT visibility - Bullish / bearish colors HUD Settings - Enable / disable dashboard - Screen position selection 📈 Best Practices & How to Use Recommended Workflow: Identify HTF bias using the HUD Wait for price to sweep liquidity Look for rejection blocks aligned with bias Execute on lower timeframes using: MT taps Entry models (ICT / SMT / displacement) Use opposing RBs as invalidation context ⚠️ This indicator works best when combined with: Session timing Market structure shifts Proper risk management ⚠️ Disclaimer This indicator is a technical analysis tool, not financial advice. Trading carries inherent risks. Past performance does not guarantee future results. By using Rejection Zone LITE, you acknowledge that all trading decisions are your own. The creators of this indicator are not responsible for any gains or losses resulting from the use of this tool. 📝 Final Notes Rejection Zone Pro is built for traders who value: Context over clutter Structure over indicators Execution over prediction If you understand liquidity, displacement, and rejection, this tool will feel intuitive.

HMA Trend Scalper V1[wjdtks255] Overview This indicator is a high-performance trend-following system optimized for crypto futures trading. It provides clear entry signals and dynamic, real-time risk management tools to help traders stay on the right side of the market. Key Features Dynamic Trend Tracking: Uses a specialized HMA (Hull Moving Average) to filter market noise and identify the core trend. Real-time TP/SL Extension: Unlike static indicators, the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) lines extend candle-by-candle along with the price action. Clean Chart UI: Lines only exist from the entry point to the current candle, preventing chart clutter. Automatic Completion: Once the price hits a target, the line stops extending and marks the result (Target Hit or Stop Out). Trading Strategy (How to Trade) 1. Long Entry (🚀 LONG) Condition: The price must be above the trend line, and a breakout of the recent 5-candle high must occur with significant volume. Action: Enter a Long position when the "🚀 LONG" label appears. Exit: Hold until the price reaches the Cyan (Aqua) TP line or hits the Yellow SL line. 2. Short Entry (💀 SHORT) Condition: The price must be below the trend line, and a breakdown of the recent 5-candle low must occur with significant volume. Action: Enter a Short position when the "💀 SHORT" label appears. Exit: Hold until the price reaches the Cyan (Aqua) TP line or hits the Yellow SL line. 3. Risk Management Stop Loss: The indicator automatically calculates the optimal SL based on recent volatility (ATR) and swing points. Take Profit: The TP is set at a calculated ratio to ensure a positive risk-to-reward setup. Settings Trend Sensitivity: Adjust the HMA length to match your preferred timeframe (Scalping vs. Swing). Volume Multiplier: Filter out weak moves by increasing the volume breakout requirement. Custom Styles: Fully customize line colors, widths, and styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) in the settings menu.

Rumiancev Reaction ZonesRumiancev Reaction Zones Rumiancev Reaction Zones (RRZ) is a clean, non-signal overlay that highlights potential reaction areas — places where price often slows down, bounces, or becomes stretched relative to the current market range. RRZ is NOT a trading bot. It does not provide guaranteed entries/exits. Use it as a context tool alongside your own confirmation (structure, trend bias, momentum/volume, etc.). ──────────────────────────────────────── WHAT IS DRAWN ON THE CHART ──────────────────────────────────────── 🔵 Blue Zone • Buy Area (Filled Band) A lower reaction band (“discount / downside stretch”). • Upper edge: Blue Zone • Buy Area (blue line) • Lower edge: Blue Zone • Lower Band (hidden band edge) When price enters this band, reactions become more likely (bounces, stabilization, reclaim moves). 🟠 Orange Zone • Sell Area (Filled Band) An upper reaction band (“stretch / upside extension”). • Lower edge: Orange Zone • Sell Area (orange line) • Upper edge: Orange Zone • Upper Band (hidden band edge) When price reaches this band, pauses, pullbacks, or distribution can appear. ⚪ Guide Line (Gray) A neutral reference line inside the structure. Helps to judge whether price is closer to “discount” (Blue side) or “stretch” (Orange side). 🟢 Deep Line (Green) — Aggressive Context (NOT a zone) A deeper downside reference line (green), not a filled band. If price reaches it, conditions are typically more volatile and risk is higher. Treat it as a high-risk context line, not an automatic entry. 🔴 Orange Extreme (Red) — High Extension (NOT a zone) A high-extension reference line above the Orange Zone. Often used as a strong risk-reduction context after extended upside moves. ──────────────────────────────────────── HOW TO USE RRZ (PRACTICAL FRAMEWORK) ──────────────────────────────────────── 1) Blue Zone approach (potential entries) • When price enters the Blue Zone , wait for confirmation first (rejection wick, reclaim back above the zone edge, local structure holding). • Consider scaling in gradually rather than entering full size at once. • If price continues deeper toward the green Deep Line , treat it as higher risk and act only if your plan and risk limits allow it. 2) Orange Zone approach (potential exits) • When price reaches the Orange Zone , many traders consider partial risk reduction (scale out, protect profit, tighten stops). • Near the red Orange Extreme line, many traders consider stronger risk reduction (up to closing most/all), especially after impulsive runs. IMPORTANT: RRZ marks areas , not entries. Always define invalidation (stop/idea failure point) and position size before acting. ──────────────────────────────────────── CONFIRMATION IDEAS (SIMPLE) ──────────────────────────────────────── • Rejection wicks / reclaim back above a zone edge • Break & retest of local structure • Momentum/volume shift you personally trust • Alignment with higher-timeframe direction ──────────────────────────────────────── SETTINGS ──────────────────────────────────────── • Depth → sensitivity (lower = more reactive, higher = steadier) • Smoothness → adaptation speed (lower = faster, higher = smoother) • Zone Width → thickness of the Blue/Orange fills (visual width) ──────────────────────────────────────── EXAMPLES (CHART IMAGES) ──────────────────────────────────────── Example 1 — Orange Zone reaction (Daily) Price pushes into the Orange Zone (stretch area), then cools off and rotates lower. RRZ helps visualize this as a place to watch for rejection or profit-taking context. Example 2 — Repeated cycles (Daily) Multiple cycles where touches into the Orange Zone often coincide with pauses/pullbacks, while dips into the Blue Zone tend to act as reaction areas during corrections. Example 3 — Blue Zone reaction after a sell-off (4H) A sharp move pushes price into the Blue Zone , followed by stabilization and reaction. The Orange Zone remains overhead as the next upside stretch region to monitor. ──────────────────────────────────────── NOTES ──────────────────────────────────────── • Zones are dynamic and update as new market data forms. • No future-looking data (“lookahead”) is used. ──────────────────────────────────────── DISCLAIMER ──────────────────────────────────────── This script is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice. Trading involves risk. No indicator can guarantee results.

The Strat - Multi-Timeframe Combo Analyzer## 📊 The Strat - Multi-Timeframe Combo Analyzer This open-source indicator implements **The Strat** methodology, a universal price action framework developed by Rob Smith (@RobInTheBlack). --- ### 🎯 What is The Strat? The Strat categorizes every candle into one of three scenarios based on its relationship to the previous bar: | Type | Name | Definition | |------|------|------------| | **1** | Inside Bar | High < Previous High AND Low > Previous Low | | **2** | Directional | Breaks only one side (2↑ = broke high, 2↓ = broke low) | | **3** | Outside Bar | Breaks BOTH previous high AND low | By tracking these bar types across timeframes, traders can identify actionable setups with defined entry triggers and target levels. --- ### ✨ Features **Daily Timeframe Analysis:** - Real-time 3-bar combo detection (2-1-2, 3-1-2, 1-2-2, etc.) - Pattern classification: Bullish/Bearish Continuation or Reversal - Entry and Target levels based on Strat rules - Pattern status: ACTIONABLE, IN-FORCE, TRIGGERED, or WATCHING **ATR Context:** - Range % used (how much of daily ATR has been consumed) - Entry quality assessment (Excellent → Exhausted) - Day type classification (Quiet → Trend Day) - Remaining range estimation **15-Minute Analysis:** - Separate combo tracking for intraday precision - Pattern detection on lower timeframe **Visuals:** - Customizable info tables - Entry/Target horizontal lines - Signal labels on chart - Alert conditions --- ### 🔧 How to Use 1. Look for **ACTIONABLE** patterns - these are setups waiting for a trigger 2. Entry triggers when price breaks the designated level 3. Target is the next logical Strat level (typically prior bar's high/low) 4. Use **Range%** to assess if there's room left in the daily range 5. Combine Daily and 15-Min combos for trade confluence --- ### ⚠️ Disclaimer This indicator is for **educational purposes only**. It does not constitute financial advice or guarantee profitable trades. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always conduct your own research and trade responsibly. --- ### 🙏 Credits **The Strat** methodology was created by Rob Smith (@RobInTheBlack). This implementation is open-source.

NWOG & NDOG Dynamic GapsThis indicator is designed for Price Action and ICT traders who need to track New Week Opening Gaps (NWOG) and New Day Opening Gaps (NDOG) without cluttering their charts. Unlike standard gap indicators that leave static boxes behind, this script features Dynamic Mitigation Logic. As price trades into the open gap, the box automatically shrinks in real-time to show only the remaining, unfilled portion of the gap. Once a gap is fully closed (filled to the tick), it is automatically removed from the chart. Key Features: - Smart Detection: Automatically identifies gaps at the daily (NDOG) and weekly (NWOG) open. - Dynamic Shrinking: The gap box updates on every bar. If price wicks into the gap, the box resizes to reflect the new support/resistance level. - Clean Chart: Gaps are deleted immediately upon full closure. - Priority Logic: Weekly gaps take precedence over daily gaps to prevent overlapping visuals.

AlphaStrike: Zen ModeDescription: 1. The Philosophy: Reducing Cognitive Load Modern charts are often cluttered with dozens of noisy lines (Bollinger Bands, Moving Averages, Oscillators) that lead to "Analysis Paralysis." This script is designed with a "Zen" philosophy: P rocess the complexity in the background, but display only the decision. This is not a simple indicator overlay. It is a Risk-Based Trading Engine that runs multiple validation checks (Momentum, Volatility, and Price Action) simultaneously but hides the underlying calculations to keep the chart clean. It focuses the trader's attention on the two things that matter most: Trend Direction and Position Sizing. 2. The "Invisible" Technical Engine The script operates on a Dual-State Logic system that adapts to market conditions. It uses standard indicators as filters, not just visuals. A. Trend State (The Backbone) The script calculates a volatility-adjusted Trend Baseline (SuperTrend). Green State: The market is in a markup phase. The script looks for continuation. Red State: The market is in a markdown phase. The script looks for defense. B. The "Confluence" Reversal Logic Instead of cluttering the screen with Bollinger Bands and RSI windows, the script performs these checks internally: Condition 1 (Volatility): Is price extending beyond the 2.0 Standard Deviation (Bollinger Lower/Upper)? Condition 2 (Momentum): Is RSI overextended (<35 or >65)? Condition 3 (Price Action): Is there a specific Pin Bar candle pattern (Long wick rejection)? Result: Only when all three conditions align does the script print a "Reversal Circle." This filters out weak signals that usually occur in strong trends. 3. The Risk Management Calculator (Key Feature) Most traders fail not because of bad entries, but because of inconsistent sizing. This script features a built-in Dynamic Position Sizing Dashboard located in the bottom right. Adaptive Stop Loss: In a Trend: The Stop Loss is automatically set to the Trend Line (SuperTrend). In a Reversal: The script internally scans for the nearest Swing Low/High (using hidden Pivot calculations) and sets the Stop Loss there. Position Sizing Math: The dashboard reads your Account Size and Risk % inputs. It instantly calculates the "Max Size" (contract/share amount) allowed for the current trade. Formula: Position Size = (Account Value * Risk %) / Distance to Stop. Benefit: This ensures you risk the exact same dollar amount on every trade, whether the stop loss is 1% away or 10% away. 4. How to Read the Signals Triangles (Breakouts): These represent a shift in the dominant trend direction. Green Triangle: Bullish Trend Start. Red Triangle: Bearish Trend Start. Circles (Mean Reversion): These are high-probability counter-trend plays. Blue Circle: Buy Reversal (Oversold + Pinbar + Bollinger Support). Orange Circle: Sell Reversal (Overbought + Pinbar + Bollinger Resistance). 5. Settings Trend Settings: Adjust the ATR Period and Factor to change the sensitivity of the trend line. Reversal Settings: Tweak the RSI and Bollinger thresholds to filter out more/less signals. Risk Management: Input your total Account Size and desired Risk Per Trade (e.g., 1%) to calibrate the Dashboard. Disclaimer This tool provides algorithmic analysis and risk calculations. It does not guarantee profits or provide financial advice. Always verify position sizes before executing.

Session Liquidity Raid ModelSession Liquidity Raid Model This indicator helps you understand what each market session is doing with liquidity — without guessing, predicting, or over-complicating things. It tracks the Asia, London, and New York sessions and shows you: Where each session’s highs and lows are Whether those levels have been taken (raided) or are still untouched When New York is likely cleaning up liquidity left by London The basic idea (very simple) If London moves price strongly without taking Asia’s opposite side, New York often comes back to raid London levels first before the real move happens. This indicator makes that process visible at a glance. What it shows on the chart Asia High & Low London High & Low Whether each level is taken or not A simple Bullish / Bearish / Neutral session bias Clean horizontal lines for key session levels No buy or sell signals. No indicators stacked on top of each other. Just context. How to use it Use it to avoid bad trades, not force trades Wait for liquidity to be taken before looking for entries Combine it with your own price action, structure, or FVGs If you trade CME_MINI:NQ1! , this helps you stay aligned with what New York is actually doing, instead of reacting late. Important note This is not a trading strategy and it does not predict the future. It simply shows which session still owes liquidity and which one has already been cleared.

TrendGo Accumulate: Market Context Before DecisionsTrendGo Accumulate highlights areas where price behavior suggests early accumulation - before momentum and direction become obvious . Instead of chasing moves, Accumulate helps you understand where the market is in its process . By tracking price behavior relative to a dynamic, anchored average that adapts to new market lows, Accumulate identifies zones where markets historically pause, stabilize, and prepare - not signals, but context . As seen on higher timeframes, Accumulate often stays silent during trends and activates only when risk compresses. ⸻ What Accumulate gives you • Identifies accumulation zones that often precede structural transitions • Automatically adapts to new market lows - no settings, no optimization • Works across all assets and timeframes, even without volume data • Filters short-term noise to highlight meaningful price behavior ⸻ Accumulate doesn’t tell you what to trade . It shows you where you are . Accumulate finds the zone. The system decides the trade.

Price Action TrendPrice Action Trend measures trend *strength* by modelling where price sits inside a smoothed price-action channel, then applying RSI to that “channel position”. It doesn’t predict, but shows what price is doing now. This indicator uses the same calculations as my old "Price Action Trend Overlay" script, which I'd published Protected for some forgotten reason. Some users have asked for the source code, so I'm republishing it as open source. I've also tidied up the code a bit, added some visualisations of elements that were present but never drawn, such as the PA channels themselves, drawn the trend metric in a separate pane, added alerts, and made some more configuration options available. 🟩 HIGHLIGHTS ⭐ Trend colouring on the main chart. ⭐ A trend line drawn in its own pane. ⭐ Overbought/oversold markers on the main chart, derived from the same PA calculations. ⭐ Optional “Price Average” line and channel colouring. 🟩 WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THE TREND CALCULATION Most “trend RSI” tools run RSI on close, or on some moving average of price. This script runs RSI on a *normalised* price-action series: - We build a smoothed channel from RMA(high) and RMA(low). - We normalise price against that channel (relative to the channel midpoint and width). - We run RSI on that normalised series (default 14, but optionally matched to the Trend Lookback Period). Using highs and lows instead of close or OHLC4 makes the trend value sensitive to *range shape* and *asymmetry* (big wicks, uneven extremes), not just the centre of the candle. As compared to a simple RSI (also included simply for comparison), this PA Trend tends to decay faster and recovers faster. 🟩 HOW TO USE IT (PRACTICAL) ⭐ Trend pane - Treat the line as a measure of *trend strength*, not a prediction. - Neutral zone = trend is not convincingly bullish or bearish. - Strong moves away from neutral = “trend has conviction”. ⭐ Overbought / oversold markers Overbought/oversold doesn’t mean “reversal right now”. It means the *rate of directional change* is unsustainably strong. - Overbought in an uptrend: trend is overheating. Tighten long stops; expect rest/retrace/reversal once overheating ends. - Oversold in an uptrend: the countertrend down is likely exhausting. Potential “buy the dip” context. - Reverse the above for downtrends. This works on any market, any timeframe. Lower timeframes will be choppier. Don’t trade these signals blindly; use market structure, S/R, and your other tools. 🟩 SETTINGS (OVERVIEW) 🟦 Settings - Pane Plot Mode: choose whether the pane shows Trend or Overbought/Oversold series. - Trend Lookback Period: channel smoothing for the trend model (higher = smoother, lower = faster). - Show Overbought & Oversold Shapes: show/hide the triangles on the main chart. - Overbought/sold Lookback Period: channel smoothing for OB/OS detection (lower = more sensitive). - Overbought/sold Adaptive Length: smoothing for the dynamic OB/OS levels (lower = more adaptive). 🟦 Display - Transparency for the candle colour: bar colour transparency (Gradient mode). - Trend Colour Mode: Classic vs strength-based Gradient. 🟦 Price Average - Show Price Average: show/hide the OHLC4 average price line. - Lookback: length for the price average. - Smoothing: SMA / EMA / RMA. - Colour Channel by Price Average: neutral/green/red channel colouring depending on whether the price average is inside/above/below the channel. 🟦 Advanced - Trend Upper/Lower Neutral Threshold: neutral zone bounds (also used by the dynamic OB/OS logic). - PA RSI Length: choose Fixed (14) or match the Trend Lookback Period. - Show RSI (close): optional “reference RSI” plot with length. 🟩 ALERTS There are built-in alert conditions for this indicator: - Overbought PA Trend: triggers when the PA overbought condition is true. - Oversold PA Trend: triggers when the PA oversold condition is true. - Trend flips up: triggers when the trend changes from down to up (ignores any intervening neutral bars). - Trend flips down: triggers when the trend changes from up to down (ignores any intervening neutral bars). - Lost overbought: triggers on the first red candle after the overbought condition ends (set this alert on close to avoid false alerts). - Lost oversold: triggers on the first green candle after the oversold condition ends (set this alert on close to avoid false alerts). 🟩 REPAINTING / CALCULATION NOTES According to my understanding, this indicator does not repaint (it does not go back and alter closed bars). However, while the current candle is forming, values that depend on the current price will update in real time. Once the candle closes, they are fixed. The overbought/oversold calculations use Williams fractal-style confirmation logic, which cannot be known until some bars afterwards. This affects when the OB/OS levels update, but new confirmations only affect future calculations, not the past. 🟩 CREDITS The idea for using smoothed highs/lows to create a price-action channel came from my humble trading mentor. All the code is my own. 🟩 DISCLAIMER No indicator is a substitute for knowing what you’re doing. By using this indicator you agree that it might not do what you or anyone else expects. You retain full responsibility for your trading at all times. Before trading with actual money, first make sure your risk management is professional-level.

Price Action Strategy Screener 1&5 Min [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction Price action is the study of how price moves, reacts, and leaves information behind through structure, swings, and liquidity behavior. Instead of relying on indicator signals or mathematical outputs, price action focuses on reading market intent directly from price movement, especially around key swing highs and lows where liquidity is often targeted. Understanding repeated reactions, failed continuations, and stop hunts is essential for identifying high quality trading opportunities. In this price action strategy, signals are not generated from a single breakout or liquidity grab. Price must sweep a swing level multiple times, form a new structural reference, and return again to hunt liquidity. This repeated sweep and reaction process filters out random volatility and highlights deliberate market behavior. When this sequence occurs near the upper band or lower band of a price band, the signal gains additional context by aligning with premium and discount zones. Correlation plays a critical role in validating price action signals. Symbol pairs are first selected based on historically high correlation on the daily timeframe so that divergence becomes meaningful. When correlation weakens on the execution timeframe, situations emerge where one asset continues to make higher highs or lower lows while the correlated asset fails to confirm and remains near a key swing level. This correlation breakdown exposes inter market divergence and relative strength or weakness, reinforcing the price action narrative. An RSI component is provided only as an optional confirmation tool. It does not participate in signal generation and does not influence the strategy logic. Traders may use RSI to evaluate momentum exhaustion divergence or overbought and oversold conditions, or ignore it entirely. The foundation of this approach remains price action driven, built on liquidity sweeps, structural interaction, correlation dynamics, and contextual price band positioning rather than indicator dependency. ⚠️ Note: This product works only on the 1m and 5m timeframes. Please switch your chart to one of these timeframes to use the indicator properly. 🔵 How to Use A central pillar of this methodology is the emphasis on historically high correlation as a prerequisite for meaningful analysis. Correlation is not treated as a signal by itself, but as a contextual foundation that gives weight to divergence and disagreement. When two markets have demonstrated strong alignment over time, especially on higher timeframes such as the daily chart, any deviation from that relationship becomes informative. The strategy assumes that without prior correlation, divergence has little analytical value and may simply reflect unrelated market behavior. By filtering symbol pairs based on strong long term correlation, the tool focuses only on situations where market alignment is expected. When that alignment weakens on the execution timeframe, price behavior gains additional significance. One symbol may continue to expand, break structure, or print new extremes, while the correlated symbol stalls, compresses, or fails to confirm. This breakdown highlights emerging relative strength or weakness and often precedes rotation, rebalancing, or corrective price action rather than clean continuation. The practical application of this concept relies on selecting logically related markets. Examples include precious metals such as OANDA:XAUUSD and OANDA:XAGUSD , closely linked equity indices like CAPITALCOM:US100 and CAPITALCOM:US500 , highly correlated currency pairs within the same economic group such as OANDA:EURUSD and OANDA:GBPUSD , or crypto assets like COINBASE:BTCUSD and COINBASE:ETHUSD that often move in tandem. By anchoring analysis to these correlated pairs, the strategy avoids random comparisons and instead isolates moments where market disagreement reflects a genuine shift in participation, intent, or liquidity distribution. 🟣 Buy Setup Buy scenarios are evaluated when price is positioned near the lower band and begins to show signs of downside fatigue. The market should demonstrate repeated probing below a reference low without sustained follow through, indicating sell side absorption. After several failed attempts to push lower, price often compresses, forms a reaction base, and starts to defend that area. Confirmation comes from relative performance between correlated markets. While the primary symbol holds its ground, the secondary symbol may begin to stabilize or recover, showing that downside pressure is no longer synchronized. This decoupling suggests that bearish participation is weakening. Buy setups gain higher quality when price starts to rotate upward from the lower band while downside extensions continue to fail. 🟣 Sell Setup Sell scenarios develop when price trades near the upper band and shows signs of upside exhaustion. Multiple extensions above a reference high followed by weak continuation often signal buy side consumption. Price may repeatedly spike higher but struggle to maintain acceptance, leaving behind rejection and compression near the same zone. Cross market behavior plays a key role in validation. When one correlated asset continues to advance while the primary symbol fails to sustain new highs, the imbalance becomes visible. This lack of confirmation reflects diminishing demand and distribution rather than healthy expansion. Sell setups become higher probability when price stalls near the upper band, fails to hold premium levels, and correlated markets no longer move in alignment. 🔵 Setting Signal Source Pair : This option defines which pair’s signals are displayed on the chart. The script calculates signals for six different symbol pairs simultaneously, but only one pair can be visualized on the chart at a time. By selecting Pair 1 through Pair 6, the user chooses which pair’s signal output is shown on the active symbol. For example, if Pair 4 is selected, only signals generated by Pair 4 will appear on the chart. Table on Chart : This setting enables or disables the on chart screener table. When enabled, the table displays signal status, correlation information, and symbol data directly on the chart. When disabled, the chart remains clean with no table overlay. Number of Symbols : This option controls how many symbol pairs are displayed in the screener table. Users can choose between four or six pairs depending on screen size and personal preference. Table Size: This setting adjusts the visual scale of the screener table. Smaller sizes are suitable for minimal layouts, while larger sizes improve readability when monitoring multiple pairs simultaneously. Table Mode : This setting offers two layout styles for the signal table. Basic mode displays symbols in a single vertical column, using more vertical space and providing straightforward readability. Extended mode arranges symbols in pairs side by side, optimizing screen space with a more compact and efficient layout. Table Position : This option defines where the screener table is placed on the chart. The table can be positioned in any corner or central area to avoid overlapping with price action or other indicators. Symbol 1 and Symbol 2 : These options define the two symbols that are evaluated together as a pair. Users should select symbols that have historically shown high correlation so that divergence and correlation breakdowns carry meaningful analytical value. Signals are generated based on relative strength and weakness, behavioral divergence, and confirmation failure between the two symbols. For each pair, signals are displayed only for the symbol defined as the active output in the screener. Confirmation Period : This setting controls the initial swing confirmation window. It defines how many bars are required for a swing structure to be considered valid before liquidity sweeps and reactions are evaluated. Higher values tend to produce stronger and more reliable swing structures while reducing signal frequency. Lower values respond faster but may include shorter term or less significant movements. This logic is applied identically across all six pairs, with each pair calculated independently. RSI Setting : The RSI section is completely optional and is provided only for visual confirmation. It has no influence on signal generation or strategy logic. Short RSI, Mid RSI, Long RSI : These options allow different RSI lengths to be displayed simultaneously. Short RSI reacts quickly to momentum changes, while Mid and Long RSI provide smoother and broader context. Each RSI length can be enabled or disabled independently. Show RSI Levels : This option toggles the visibility of RSI reference levels. Low Potential Zone : Highlights areas where momentum potential is relatively low. Mid Potential Zone : Marks neutral or transitional momentum environments. High Potential Zone : Highlights areas with higher momentum potential, often associated with expansion or exhaustion phases. All RSI zones are purely visual and do not affect signal logic or calculations. 🔵 Conclusion This price action strategy is built to highlight moments where market behavior shifts from participation to hesitation. By observing repeated tests of key areas, failed continuation, and loss of alignment between related markets, the approach helps traders focus on areas where risk becomes more defined and directional follow through becomes more selective. The combination of band location, multi stage interaction, and cross market confirmation allows users to filter noise and concentrate on scenarios where price is more likely reacting than accelerating. Rather than offering fixed entries or automated decisions, this framework encourages discretion, contextual reading, and structured execution. It is most effective when used by traders who understand market phases, rotation, and imbalance, and who are willing to wait for price to reveal intent through behavior rather than speed. When applied with patience and proper risk management, the strategy provides a consistent way to evaluate quality over quantity in evolving market conditions.

Consolidated Technical ScorecardConsolidated Technical Scorecard (CTS) The Consolidated Technical Scorecard (CTS) is a structured trend-strength and leadership-quality framework designed to help traders quickly assess whether a stock or index is displaying characteristics of a high-quality up-trend, a constructive developing phase, or a weak / high-risk environment. Rather than relying on a single indicator or signal, CTS consolidates information from trend structure, momentum conditions, and multi-timeframe alignment into a unified visual scorecard panel on the chart. The goal is to give traders a clear, objective snapshot of where the instrument currently stands in the broader trend hierarchy. What CTS Helps You Identify Whether price action reflects true leadership behavior or just short-term strength When a stock is trending cleanly vs. transitioning / weakening The quality and durability of the current trend phase When conditions shift from constructive → strong or strong → vulnerable A quick, at-a-glance assessment instead of reading multiple indicators manually CTS is particularly useful for: > momentum traders > trend-followers > position traders > portfolio screening and strength filtering > leadership-based stock selection How the Score Works (High-Level Overview) CTS evaluates price behaviour across three key pillars: Trend Structure & Leadership Characteristics - evaluates whether price structure is consistent with strong trend behaviour Momentum & Regime Quality - checks whether momentum supports the prevailing trend environment Multi-Timeframe Confirmation & Alignment - validates whether strength is supported across higher-timeframe conditions Each pillar contributes to an overall 16-point composite score, which is then expressed as a percentage “CTS Strength” reading and a corresponding qualitative verdict (such as High-Quality Up-Trend or Constructive / Watch). Internal scoring rules and calculation details are proprietary and intentionally abstracted to preserve the design philosophy and intellectual property of the framework. Scorecard Output Panel The on-chart panel displays: > Trend Score > Momentum Score > Multi-TF Confirmation Score > CTS Strength (%) > Verdict label summarising the current state Score cell backgrounds use hierarchical colour-grading to provide instant visual context for strength vs. risk conditions. The panel can be positioned or resized via settings, and includes a Light / Dark text-theme option for visibility on any chart background. Customisation & Display Controls The CTS Scorecard includes several user-configurable display options to improve usability across different chart layouts and backgrounds: > Table Positioning - The panel can be placed anywhere on the chart (top-right, top-left, bottom-right, centre positions, etc.) based on user preference. > Font Size Adjustment - Users can choose from multiple font-size presets to improve readability across different screen sizes and resolutions. > Light / Dark Mode Text Theme - The indicator includes a selectable text-theme option to ensure optimal visibility on both light and dark chart backgrounds, while retaining consistent scorecard styling. These controls allow the scorecard to adapt to different workspace setups without affecting the underlying model or scoring behaviour. Important Notes > CTS is not a buy/sell signal generator > It is a trend-assessment and confirmation tool > It is most effective when combined with: - price action analysis - risk management - broader market context > Like any analytical model, it should support decision-making — not replace it > The CTS Scorecard is intentionally designed to work only on the Daily timeframe. When applied on other timeframes, the indicator displays a notice prompting users to switch back to Daily mode. Best Use Cases Identify potential leadership-grade stocks Filter out weak or low-quality trend setups Avoid participation during deteriorating phases Track how trend quality evolves over time Strength-based watchlist and screening workflows Credits & Philosophy CTS is built around a price-first, evidence-based trading approach, influenced by institutional trend-following principles and leadership-quality frameworks used by professional momentum and position traders. The emphasis is on clarity, alignment, discipline, and trend quality over noise. www.alphasndeltas.in

Precision Structure Pro [BOSWaves]Precision Structure Pro - Multi-Tier Market Structure Execution with HTF Trend Alignment Overview Precision Structure Pro is a market analysis system designed to provide traders with structural understanding of price action. The system operates on the principle that markets follow observable patterns that can be systematically identified and interpreted. Precision Structure Pro combines adaptive indicators, dynamic visualizations, and customizable alerts to support both trend-following and contrarian strategies. Each feature translates technical concepts into actionable, on-chart insights, allowing traders to make informed decisions without information overload. The system emphasizes clarity, precision, and adaptability, enabling users to interpret market behavior in real time with risk-aware, disciplined trading practices. Structural Analysis Engine At the core of Precision Structure Pro lies the Structural Analysis Engine, a sophisticated framework designed to detect meaningful shifts in market structure with minimal lag and maximum reliability. Traditional swing-based systems merely connect price highs and lows, often generating false signals during periods of noise or minor retracement. Precision Structure Pro's engine goes deeper, analyzing market momentum, volatility, and price clusters to distinguish between genuine structural breaks and minor fluctuations. The engine employs a configurable lookback period ranging from 5 to 50 bars, allowing traders to calibrate sensitivity based on their preferred timeframe and trading style. Shorter periods produce more frequent signals suitable for scalping and intraday trading, while longer periods generate fewer but more significant structural markers ideal for swing and position trading. This adaptability ensures the system remains relevant across all trading methodologies. Break of Structure (BOS) Detection Break of Structure (BOS) signals are provided whenever price decisively moves beyond a previous swing high or low, highlighting potential continuation setups. The system offers two confirmation methodologies: body-based confirmation, which requires candle closes beyond structural levels for conservative validation, and wick-based confirmation, which triggers on price touches for more aggressive entry opportunities. This dual-option approach allows traders to align the tool's sensitivity with their risk tolerance and market conditions. Use Case 1: Trend Continuation Trading A trader identifies a pullback within an established uptrend. The dashboard confirms higher timeframe alignment remains bullish despite the short-term retracement. When price breaks back above the pullback structure, the system generates a BOS signal and activates the trade dashboard with entry, stop-loss, and three profit targets. As targets are hit sequentially, the trader takes partial profits while trailing the remainder, combining systematic risk management with the flexibility to capture extended moves. Change of Character (CHoCH) Recognition Change of Character (CHoCH) alerts indicate early reversal opportunities, marking the transition from trending to counter-trend behavior before it becomes evident to the naked eye. CHoCH signals emerge when price breaks a structural level counter to the established trend direction, providing advance warning of potential trend exhaustion or reversal. These signals are particularly valuable for identifying market turning points that precede traditional reversal indicators, offering traders strategic positioning advantages for both exits and counter-trend entries. By combining BOS and CHoCH signals, traders can identify both continuation and reversal scenarios, enabling them to adapt strategies to shifting market conditions without relying solely on lagging indicators. The engine maintains a persistent memory of structural levels, tracking which pivots remain relevant and which have been invalidated by price action, ensuring that only significant structural events generate signals while noise is systematically filtered. Use Case 2: Counter-Trend Reversal Trading During an established trend, price breaks structure in the opposite direction, triggering a CHoCH signal. The candles begin changing color to reflect the structural shift. However, the dashboard shows the higher timeframe remains in the original trend direction, alerting the trader to timeframe conflict. This prompts tighter profit management focused on early targets rather than extended holds, as the setup represents a counter-trend opportunity requiring tactical rather than strategic positioning. Multi-Timeframe Integration Multi-timeframe integration within the Structural Analysis Engine provides an additional layer of context that dramatically enhances signal reliability. For instance, a BOS signal on a lower timeframe gains significantly more weight when aligned with the trend observed on a higher timeframe. This hierarchical approach allows traders to confirm signals against broader market trends, reducing exposure to false breakouts and enhancing confidence in entries and exits. The system continuously monitors a user-selected higher timeframe - configurable to any interval from minutes to weekly charts - and compares its structural trend against current timeframe signals. When lower timeframe BOS or CHoCH events align with higher timeframe directional bias, the system validates these as premium opportunities. The on-chart dashboard displays real-time higher timeframe trend status, showing whether the broader context is bullish, bearish, or neutral, providing traders with instant situational awareness without requiring manual chart switching. Hierarchical Confirmation and Filtering Traders can enable higher timeframe alignment requirements, which filters out signals that conflict with the dominant trend on larger timeframes. This filtering mechanism significantly reduces false signals during counter-trend noise while preserving high-probability setups that ride institutional momentum. The result is a trading system that respects market hierarchy, acknowledging that larger timeframe structures exert gravitational influence on smaller timeframe movements, and positioning traders on the right side of dominant flows. The engine is designed to be highly adaptive, factoring in price volatility and recent momentum to filter out noise while emphasizing meaningful structural changes. The result is a system that not only identifies key market turning points but does so in a way that is sensitive to context, volatility, and timeframe alignment, creating a comprehensive structural narrative that evolves with market conditions. Volatility-Adaptive Stop-Loss Calculation Managing risk is as important as identifying opportunities, and Precision Structure Pro addresses this through its Volatility-Adaptive Trade Management system. Unlike static stop-loss levels that fail to account for changing market conditions, this system calculates dynamic stop-loss points based on volatility measurements and market structure. The system employs an analysis window that captures current market movement characteristics and serves as the foundation for all risk calculations. The system employs a multi-layered calculation methodology. First, it establishes a base distance by applying a user-configurable volatility multiplier (0.5 - 5.0x, default 2.0x) to the measured market volatility. This base distance is then scaled by a stop-loss multiplier (0.1-5.0R, default 1.2R) to determine final stop placement. In high-volatility environments - such as during major news events or market opens - stops are adjusted wider to avoid premature exits from normal price oscillation, while in calm, low-volatility periods, stops tighten to prevent unnecessary exposure and improve capital efficiency. Tiered Take-Profit System Take-profit levels are tiered into three distinct targets, each calculated as a ratio of the stop-loss distance. The first target typically sits at 0.8R (80% of the risk distance), providing a conservative profit-taking opportunity that's frequently achieved. The second target extends to 1.6R, capturing intermediate moves while maintaining realistic probability. The third target reaches for 2.8R or beyond, designed to capture extended trend moves and maximize profit potential when momentum continues. These ratios are fully customizable, allowing traders to adapt the system to their profit-taking preferences and market characteristics. This tiered approach enables traders to lock in profits progressively, reducing psychological pressure while allowing portions of positions to capture larger moves. Traders can take partial profits at early targets and move stops to breakeven to create risk-free positions, while letting remaining size run toward final targets or trailing stops. This partial exit strategy dramatically improves trading psychology by removing the binary pressure of all-or-nothing exits, while maintaining exposure to extended moves that generate outsized returns. Visual Trade Mapping Visual representations of dynamic levels are overlaid on the chart with sophisticated rendering techniques. Each level features a multi-layer glow effect - a translucent outer layer for ambient visibility, a semi-transparent middle layer for depth, and a solid core line marking precise price levels. Entry levels appear in bright white, stop-loss zones in vibrant red with danger shading, and take-profit levels in neon green with success-themed styling. Risk and reward zones are represented by translucent boxes that span from entry to stop (risk) and entry to final target (reward), providing immediate visual assessment of trade quality without manual calculation. Dynamic Status Labels Labels accompany each level, displaying precise price values and status indicators. Take-profit labels show "PENDING" status until price reaches them, at which point they dynamically update to "HIT" with altered styling to celebrate achievement. Stop-loss labels remain prominent throughout the trade, maintaining awareness of maximum risk. This comprehensive visual mapping ensures traders understand trade structure at a glance, facilitating faster decision-making and reducing cognitive load during active trading sessions. Intelligent Position Sizing Calculator Position sizing translates risk percentage into actual trade size. Precision Structure Pro includes a position sizing calculator that performs this computation automatically, eliminating manual calculation errors that can lead to over-leverage or inefficient capital utilization. The calculator employs a standardized formula that works across all asset classes: Position Size equals Account Size multiplied by Risk Percentage, divided by Stop Distance. This calculation automatically accounts for varying instrument characteristics - whether trading cryptocurrencies with multiple decimal places, forex pairs with pip-based measurements, stocks with dollar-based stops, or futures with point-based movements. Position Sizing Configuration Traders configure two key parameters: total account size (their available trading capital) and risk percentage per trade (typically 1-2% for conservative risk management). When a trade signal generates, the system instantly calculates the exact number of units, shares, contracts, or coins to trade based on the automatically-determined stop distance. This calculation appears directly in the on-chart dashboard, displaying both the dollar amount at risk and the precise position size. This functionality ensures consistent risk across all trades - whether stop distance is narrow or wide, position size adjusts to maintain identical dollar risk. It eliminates execution delays caused by manual calculation and prevents common position sizing errors that plague discretionary traders. The position sizing display can be toggled on or off based on user preference. On-Chart Dashboard Overview Information overload impairs decision-making, particularly during fast-moving market conditions. Precision Structure Pro's on-chart dashboard consolidates critical market information into a single, scannable interface that provides situational awareness without requiring navigation between multiple indicators or charts. The dashboard features a hierarchical information architecture designed for rapid comprehension. At the top, a bold status header announces trade state - LONG ACTIVE or SHORT ACTIVE - with color-coded backgrounds matching trade direction. This visual confirmation prevents confusion about current exposure, particularly when managing multiple positions across different instruments. Dashboard Components The higher timeframe status section displays the broader market context, showing whether the selected higher timeframe is BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL with corresponding color coding. This provides instant confirmation that current trade direction aligns with dominant market structure, or warns when taking counter-trend positions that require tighter management. The core metrics section presents trade fundamentals in clean, organized rows: direction confirmation, precise entry price, stop-loss level with distance percentage, and three take-profit targets each showing status (PENDING or HIT), price level, and percentage gain from entry. Visual separators organize these sections, creating clear information boundaries that facilitate quick scanning during time-sensitive decisions. When position sizing display is enabled, the bottom section shows calculated risk amount in dollars and exact position size in trading units. This eliminates the cognitive step of mental calculation, allowing traders to execute positions immediately with confidence in their risk management. Dashboard Customization The dashboard supports four positioning options - top-right, top-left, bottom-right, or bottom-left - allowing traders to anchor it in their preferred location based on personal workflow and chart layout. Importantly, the dashboard only appears when an active trade exists, preventing chart clutter during pure analysis phases when no positions are held. This adaptive visibility ensures the interface remains clean and focused, presenting information only when relevant. Dynamic Candle Coloring Technical precision means little if the information isn't immediately digestible. Precision Structure Pro employs sophisticated visualization techniques to transform complex structural data into intuitive visual language that communicates market state at a glance. The system implements dynamic candle coloring that reflects current structural trend. When market structure is bullish - characterized by BOS signals breaking upward - candles render in cyan tones, creating a visual flow that reinforces upward momentum. When structure turns bearish, candles shift to magenta, immediately communicating downward pressure. During transitional or consolidative periods when structure is unclear, candles display in neutral gray, signaling caution and the absence of clear directional bias. This color-coded system allows traders to interpret market character without analyzing individual price bars, dramatically accelerating pattern recognition. Structural Level Visualization Structural break events are marked with multi-layered horizontal lines that employ sophisticated rendering techniques. Each structural level features three layers: a wide, highly transparent outer glow creating ambient visibility, a medium-width semi-transparent middle layer adding dimensional depth, and a solid, precise core line marking the exact price level. This gradient effect makes critical levels stand out prominently even on cluttered charts, while maintaining visual elegance and professional aesthetics. Professional Label System Labels accompany each structural event with clean, professional text. BOS events are marked simply as "BOS," while CHoCH events receive distinctive "CHoCH" labeling. These labels are positioned intelligently using volatility-based offsets - appearing above price highs for bearish breaks and below price lows for bullish breaks - ensuring they float in whitespace rather than obscuring candles or overlapping with price action. The system limits the number of simultaneously visible labels (configurable from 1 - 10, default 3) to prevent chart clutter, automatically removing the oldest labels as new signals emerge. Signal Alerts Real-time monitoring of multiple charts across various timeframes is impractical for discretionary traders. Precision Structure Pro's alert system helps traders track critical market events, even when away from their trading stations. The system provides distinct alerts for each signal type. Bullish and bearish Break of Structure alerts fire when upward or downward BOS events occur, with alert messages including current entry price and ticker symbol for context. Bullish and bearish Change of Character alerts notify traders of potential reversals, providing warning to either exit existing positions or prepare counter-trend entries. A generic "New Trade Signal" alert triggers on any valid BOS or CHoCH event, useful for traders monitoring multiple instruments simultaneously. Trade Management Alerts Trade management alerts operate independently from signal alerts. Take Profit 1, 2, and 3 alerts fire when price reaches each respective target level, prompting traders to execute their planned partial exit strategy. The Stop Loss Hit alert provides critical notification when trades fail, enabling rapid response to adverse movements and preventing extended drawdowns from unmonitored positions. The system incorporates intelligent alert tracking to prevent notification spam. Each alert type fires once per event - when a profit target is hit, for example, the system sends a single notification rather than repeatedly alerting as price fluctuates around the level. Alert states reset when new trade signals generate, ensuring fresh monitoring for each position. Alert Delivery Alerts route through TradingView's native alert infrastructure, providing multiple delivery options. Traders can receive pop-up notifications during active monitoring, email alerts for remote tracking, mobile push notifications through the TradingView app. This provides flexibility for traders to remain connected to market developments regardless of their physical location or monitoring capabilities. Design Philosophy Precision Structure Pro emphasizes clarity, adaptability, and risk-aware execution. Every feature - from structural analysis to dynamic visualizations and customizable alerts - is intended to provide insight, not guarantees. Markets are inherently uncertain, and no indicator can predict future price movements with certainty. Rather than promoting false confidence, the toolkit is designed to enhance situational awareness, improve pattern recognition, and streamline execution of sound trading strategies. Traders are encouraged to integrate toolkit outputs with personal judgment, broader market context, and sound risk management principles. The system excels at identifying structural patterns and managing trade logistics, but ultimate decision authority rests with the trader. This approach fosters a disciplined, systematic mindset that prioritizes high-probability setups, multi-timeframe confluence, and methodical execution over reactive, emotion-driven trading. Trading Psychology Benefits The progressive profit-taking system embedded in the tiered take-profit structure addresses a critical psychological challenge: the tension between capturing large moves and avoiding profit give-backs. By systematically reducing position size at early targets while maintaining exposure to extended moves, traders experience regular positive reinforcement that reduces emotional stress and prevents premature exits. This psychological framework promotes patience and discipline, allowing traders to let winners run without the paralyzing fear of watching profits disappear. Similarly, the volatility-adaptive stop-loss system prevents two common psychological traps: using stops that are too tight (leading to death by a thousand cuts from repeated small losses) and using stops that are too wide (resulting in catastrophic losses that damage both capital and confidence). By anchoring stop distance to current volatility, the system ensures stops are neither arbitrary nor divorced from market reality, promoting acceptance of losses as normal cost of business rather than personal failures. Final Notes Precision Structure Pro provides a layered, multi-dimensional perspective of the market, helping traders interpret price action with confidence, refine strategies, and improve trade quality over time. Its combination of adaptive signals, visual clarity, and comprehensive dashboarding creates a system that is both functional and intuitive, enabling both novice and experienced traders to operate efficiently in complex markets. The system supports trader judgment by providing the structural foundation upon which trading decisions are built. Practical Use & Context Precision Structure Pro performs best in markets exhibiting clear structural formation with meaningful momentum shifts at key levels. In highly compressed or low-liquidity environments where price drifts without conviction, structural signals may be sparse or unreliable. During extended consolidation with minimal directional variance, the system may generate fewer actionable signals as formation events fail to meet validation thresholds. The system identifies structural breaks and generates complete trade setups including entry levels, stop-loss placement, and tiered profit targets. For optimal results, traders may choose to combine these signals with additional confirmation tools or filters based on their individual trading methodology and risk tolerance. Risk Disclaimer Precision Structure Pro is designed for educational and informational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Traders should employ proper risk management, never risk more than they can afford to lose, and consider all outputs as advisory information requiring independent verification. All trading decisions should be made with full awareness of market uncertainty and personal risk tolerance. No indicator or system can guarantee profitable trades, and users accept full responsibility for their trading outcomes.

Ghost Scalp Protocol By [@Ash_TheTrader]👻 GHOST SCALP PROTOCOL 💀 Stop Getting Trapped. Start Tracking the Banks. Most retail traders lose because they enter exactly where institutions are exiting. They get caught in "Stop Hunts" and "Fake-Outs." The Ghost Scalp Protocol is not just an indicator; it is a complete institutional trading system designed for M1 & M5 Scalpers . It combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with a Physics-Based Momentum Engine (p=mv) to detect high-probability reversals. ⚛️ THE LOGIC: 3-STAGE CONFIRMATION This algorithm does not rely on lagging indicators. It uses a 3-step "Protocol" to validate every trade: 1. THE GHOST TRAP (Liquidity Sweeps) The script automatically draws "Ghost Lines" at key Swing Highs/Lows where retail Stop Losses are hiding. It waits for price to sweep these levels. The Signal: A Neon Skull (☠️) appears only if price aggressively rejects the level with high volume. This is the "Turtle Soup" pattern. 2. THE PHYSICS ENGINE (p = mv) Momentum is not just price speed; it is Mass (Volume) x Velocity (Range) . The dashboard calculates the "Force" of every candle. The Signal: An Arrow (⬆/⬇) appears when momentum surges 5x above the average. This confirms the banks are pushing the move. 3. BANK BIAS (Elasticity Filter) Markets move like a rubber band. The script calculates a hidden "Fair Value" baseline to create a trading Bias. It only looks for Shorts in PREMIUM (Shorting) zones and Longs in DISCOUNT (Accumulating) zones. 📊 THE SMART DASHBOARD (HUD) A futuristic, non-intrusive Heads-Up Display keeps you focused on the data that matters: • 🏦 BANK BIAS: Tells you if Institutions are likely Accumulating or Shorting . • 📈 HTF TREND: Automatically checks the 1-Hour Trend . Don't fight the tide. • 🚀 MOMENTUM: Real-time Physics calculation. Green Text = Acceleration, Red Text = Deceleration. • 🌍 SESSION: Shows active Bank Sessions (Tokyo, London, NY). It flashes ⚠️ OVERLAP ALERT (Gold) when London & New York are open simultaneously. 🔥 STRATEGY: HOW TO TRADE Use this checklist to execute high-probability scalps: 📉 SHORT SETUP (SELL) 1. Liquidity: Wait for price to break above a Red Ghost Line (Sweep Highs). 2. Signal: Wait for the Pink Skull ☠️ (Trap Detected). 3. Confluence: Dashboard Bias says "SHORTING" and HTF Trend is "BEARISH." 4. Entry: On the Close of the Skull candle. 5. Stop Loss: Just above the wick swing high. 📈 LONG SETUP (BUY) 1. Liquidity: Wait for price to break below a Blue Ghost Line (Sweep Lows). 2. Signal: Wait for the Blue Skull ☠️ (Trap Detected). 3. Confluence: Dashboard Bias says "ACCUMULATING" and HTF Trend is "BULLISH." 4. Entry: On the Close of the Skull candle. 5. Stop Loss: Just below the wick swing low. 🏆 RECOMMENDED PAIRS & TIMEFRAMES • ⚡ Best Timeframes: M1 (Sniper) and M5 (Standard Scalping). • 💎 Best Assets: Gold (XAUUSD), Nasdaq (US100), Bitcoin (BTCUSD), and Volatile Forex Pairs (GBPUSD). 🛠️ SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION • Surge Factor: Default is 5.0x for high-conviction signals. Lower to 3.0 for more frequency. • Smart Sessions: Automatically converts to New York Time (EST) regardless of your location. • Visuals: Designed with "Ghost Glow" technology—97% transparent backgrounds that look classy and don't clutter your chart.

Market Entropy [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated information theory-based market analysis system that measures price randomness and structural order using Shannon entropy calculations across price, returns, and volume distributions. Utilizing adaptive percentile-based thresholds and multi-timeframe confirmation, this indicator delivers institutional-grade regime classification distinguishing between structured trending conditions and chaotic ranging environments. The system's composite entropy framework combined with dynamic gradient visualization and MTF alignment validation provides comprehensive market state assessment for optimal strategy selection and risk management. 🔶 Advanced Shannon Entropy Engine Implements pure information theory methodology using histogram distribution analysis with configurable bin counts to calculate normalized entropy values for price, returns, and volume metrics. The system constructs probability distributions from rolling windows, applies logarithmic entropy calculations, and normalizes against theoretical maximum entropy to produce 0-1 bounded measurements of market randomness and predictability. float entropy = 0.0 float total = float(len) for i = 0 to bins - 1 float count = array.get(bin_counts, i) if count > 0 float prob = count / total entropy -= prob * math.log(prob) / math.log(2) float max_entropy = math.log(bins) / math.log(2) result := entropy / max_entropy 🔶 Adaptive Percentile Threshold System Features intelligent threshold determination using rolling percentile calculations over configurable calibration periods to establish structure and chaos zones that adapt to changing market characteristics. The system calculates lower percentile for structure threshold (ordered markets) and upper percentile for chaos threshold (random markets), enabling regime classification that adjusts automatically to market evolution. 🔶 Multi-Timeframe Alignment Framework Implements comprehensive MTF entropy analysis retrieving composite entropy from three configurable higher timeframes with alignment validation logic. The system calculates divergence between current timeframe entropy and higher timeframe values, generating confirmation signals only when all timeframes exhibit entropy agreement within tolerance bands for enhanced signal reliability. 🔶 Three-Regime Classification Engine Provides sophisticated market state determination classifying conditions as structure (entropy below lower threshold), chaos (entropy above upper threshold), or neutral (entropy between thresholds) with regime strength measurement. The system tracks regime transitions and calculates conviction scores based on distance from thresholds, enabling nuanced assessment of market order versus randomness. 🔶 Composite Entropy Architecture Combines three distinct entropy measurements weighted by relevance to create unified market randomness metric with exponential smoothing for stability. The system applies 40% weight to price entropy (distribution shape), 35% to return entropy (movement patterns), and 25% to volume entropy (participation randomness), capturing comprehensive market microstructure information. 🔶 Dynamic Gradient Visualization System Features advanced color blending engine that transitions between primary and secondary colors based on entropy momentum intensity with glow effects for conviction emphasis. The system calculates entropy rate of change, normalizes against recent extremes, and applies smooth color interpolation from secondary to primary hues as momentum intensifies, creating intuitive visual representation of regime strength. 🔶 Intelligent Zone Fill Architecture Implements multi-layer gradient fills within structure and chaos zones that intensify as entropy moves deeper into extremes, providing immediate visual feedback on regime conviction. The system creates three-tier gradient levels at 33%, 66%, and 100% penetration into zones with progressively lower transparency, emphasizing extreme entropy conditions requiring attention. 🔶 Momentum-Based Divergence Detection Generates entry signals when entropy crosses below bull divergence level or above bear divergence level, identifying potential regime transitions before price confirmation. The system monitors entropy momentum direction during threshold crossings and validates with MTF alignment, producing high-probability reversal signals at entropy extremes. 🔶 Normalized Display Framework Provides 0-100 scaled visualization using adaptive min-max normalization calculated from percentile analysis, ensuring consistent visual interpretation across different market conditions and instruments. The system transforms raw composite entropy into normalized space with dynamic thresholds, enabling cross-market and cross-timeframe entropy comparison. 🔶 Regime Strength Measurement Calculates conviction scores measuring depth of entropy penetration into structure or chaos zones relative to historical ranges, quantifying how definitively current conditions favor trending versus ranging strategies. The system produces 0-1 strength values that modulate visual intensity and can inform position sizing or strategy allocation decisions. 🔶 Performance Optimization Framework Utilizes efficient array operations with optimized histogram calculations and configurable lookback limits to balance accuracy with computational efficiency. The system includes intelligent caching of percentile calculations and streamlined probability summations for smooth real-time entropy updates across extended historical periods. 🔶 Why Choose Market Entropy ? This indicator delivers sophisticated market regime analysis through pure information theory methodology measuring actual randomness versus structure in price behavior. Unlike traditional volatility or trend indicators that measure price movement characteristics, Market Entropy quantifies the fundamental predictability of market conditions using Shannon entropy calculations. The system's composite approach combining price, return, and volume distributions with adaptive thresholds, MTF confirmation, and gradient visualization makes it essential for traders seeking objective regime classification to optimize strategy selection. Low entropy (structure zone) indicates ordered, trending conditions favorable for directional strategies, while high entropy (chaos zone) signals random, ranging markets better suited for mean reversion or reduced exposure. The indicator excels at identifying regime transitions before they become obvious in price action across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets.

CUSUM Volatility BreakoutCUSUM Volatility Breakout A statistical trend-detection and volatility-breakout indicator that identifies subtle momentum shifts earlier than traditional tools. OVERVIEW The CUSUM control chart is a statistical tool designed to detect small, gradual shifts from a target value. In trading, it helps identify the early stages of a trend, giving traders a heads-up before momentum becomes obvious on standard price charts. By spotting these subtle movements, the CUSUM Volatility Breakout indicator (CUSUM VB) can highlight potential breakout opportunities earlier than traditional indicators. In other words, a statistical trend detection & breakout indicator. Copyright © 2025 CoinOperator HOW IT WORKS CUSUM VB uses a combination of differenced price series, volume normalization, and dynamic control limits: CUSUM Principle: Tracks cumulative deviations of price from a zero reference. Signals occur when cumulative deviations exceed a control limit shown on the chart and clears any enabled filters. Adaptive Volatility: H adjusts automatically based on short- vs long-term ATR ratios, allowing faster detection during volatile periods and reduced false signals in calm markets. Volume Weighting (optional): Amplifies price CUSUM values during high-volume bars to prioritize market participation strength. ATR Confirmation (optional): Ensures breakouts are accompanied by expanded volatility. Bollinger Band Squeeze Integration (optional): Confirms trend breakouts by detecting volatility contraction and release shown on the chart as triangles. Signals: Arrows on the price chart mark the bars where trades are actually filled, based on conditions detected on the prior signal bar. Long Entry: Confirmed positive CUSUM breach (price & volume) with BB breakout (signal bar). Short Entry: Confirmed negative CUSUM breach (price & volume) with BB breakout (signal bar). Exit Signals: Triggered automatically by opposite-side signals. Alerts, when created, fire on the bars where fills occur. CHART COMPONENTS CUSUM Upper Price (CU Price) and CUSUM Lower Price (CL Price) are green/red circles for confirmed signals. ● Rapid upward accumulation of CU Price indicates a developing bullish trend. ● Rapid downward accumulation of CL Price indicates a developing bearish trend. Decision/Control limits (UCL/LCL, red) Zero line (reference for the differenced price series baseline) Optional BB triangles and volume CUSUM SETUP AND CONFIGURATION Differenced Price Series Differenced Price Length and Lag Increase differencing lag or window length → Increases variance of residuals → Wider control limits (UCL/LCL) → Slower to trigger. Decrease lag or window → Tighter limits, more responsive to short-term regime shifts. CUSUM Parameters Volume-Weighted CUSUM NOTE : Uses price length if 'Confirm Price with Volume' is disabled, otherwise will use volume length. Amplifies CUSUM price responses during high-volume bars and reduces them during low-volume bars. This links trend detection to market participation strength. Volume-Weighted CUSUM doesn’t replace price confirmation with volume; it modulates it by volume intensity, amplifying price signals when participation is strong and suppressing them when weak. Recommended when analyzing assets with consistent volume patterns (e.g., stocks, major futures). Disable for low-liquidity or irregular-volume instruments (e.g., crypto pairs, small-cap stocks). ATR Confirmation Enable this feature to confirm CUSUM signals only when price deviations are accompanied by higher-than-normal volatility. The indicator compares current ATR to a smoothed ATR to detect volatility expansion. This helps distinguish true breakouts from low-volatility noise and reduces false signals during quiet periods. Adjust the ATR lookback length, smoothing length, and expansion factor to control sensitivity. Rule of thumb: ATR Length ≈ 0.5 × differenced price length to 1.5 × differenced price length gives balanced sensitivity. ATR Smoothing 5–10 bars. ATR Expansion 5% to 50%. CUSUM Input Mode Select how CUSUM processes differenced price and log-normalized volume — either directly (Txfrm Data) or as deviations from a short-term EMA baseline (Residuals): Txfrm Data = transformed input: differenced price & log-normalized volume as input for CUSUM (larger swings, more frequent control limit breaches) Residuals = deviation from short-term EMA baseline (smaller swings, fewer control limit breaches, but higher signal quality). Residual EMA Length: Defines how quickly the residual baseline adapts to recent differenced price moves. Shorter = more reactive; longer = smoother baseline. Keep EMA length moderate; over-smoothing can distort timing. Control Sensitivity (K) Increase K → Less sensitive → CUSUM accumulates slower → Fewer signals, captures only major trends. Decrease K → More sensitive → CUSUM accumulates faster → More signals, captures minor swings too. Reset Mode : Method of resetting CUSUM values. Immediate Reset: Reset both immediately after any signal breach. Traditional SPC. Opposite-Side Reset: Reset only the opposite side when a valid signal fires. Best for ongoing trend tracking. Decay Reset: Gradually reduce CUSUM values toward zero with a decay factor each bar. Maintains trend memory but allows slow “forgetting.” Threshold Reset: Reset only if CUSUM returns below a small threshold (10 % of H). Filters noise without full wipe. No Reset / Continuous: Never reset; instead track running totals. Long-term cumulative bias measurement. Conflict Handling : Method of handling conflicting signals. Ignore Both: Discards both when overlap occurs. Prioritize Latest: Chooses the direction implied by the most recent close. Prioritize Stronger: Compares absolute magnitudes of CU Price vs CL Price. Average Resolve: Looks at the difference; small overlap → ignore, otherwise pick direction by sign. Sequential Confirm: Requires N consecutive same-direction signals before confirmation. Volume Parameters (Optional) Amplification Factor Adjusts volume sensitivity and effectively rescales the log series of volume to a comparable magnitude with price changes. Since price and volume are normalized in a compatible way, the amplification factor is used instead of independent K and H values for volume. Bollinger Bands (Optional) Lookback Synchronization BB Lookback (for CUSUM): Number of bars that define a window for the BB signal to look back for the CUSUM signal. CUSUM Lookback (for BB): Number of bars that define a window for the CUSUM signal to look back for the BB signal. Both can be enabled for stricter alignment. Relationship Between K, H, ARL₀ and ARL₁ H (max) is usually the only H you need to adjust. With everything else being constant, increasing either K or H (max) generally increases both ARL₀ and ARL₁ : higher thresholds reduce false alarms but slow detection, and lower thresholds do the opposite. Increase Min Target ARL ratio → ARL₀ increases (safer, fewer false alarms) ARL₁ decreases or stays small (faster detection) Control limits slightly expand to achieve separation Strategy becomes more selective and stable Decrease Min Target ARL ratio → ARL₀ decreases (more false alarms tolerated) ARL₁ increases (slower detection tolerated) Control limits tighten Strategy becomes more sensitive but lower quality The ARL Ratio of ARL₀ / ARL₁ is typically between 3 and 8. This implies you want your ARL₀ (false-alarm interval) ≈ 'Min Target ARL ratio' × differenced price length window. Example: "Min Target ARL ratio = 4.0" ⇒ implies you want your ARL₀ (false-alarm interval) ≈ 4 × differenced price length. Assume price length = 50 (typical differencing window). ARL ratio = 4.0 → target ARL = 4 × 50 = 200 bars. ● On a 6-hour chart (≈4 bars/day) → ~50 days between expected false alarms (on average). ● On a daily chart → ~200 trading days between false alarms (very conservative). ARL ratio = 8.0 → target ARL = 400 bars → twice as infrequent signals vs ratio=4. ARL ratio = 2.0 → target ARL = 100 bars → about half the inter-signal interval. Another way to think about it: probability of a false alarm on any bar ≈ 1 / target ARL. If you want ~1% of bars producing alarms, target ARL ≈ 100. QUICK START Start with the defaults. Set price series → length/order/lag Configure CUSUM thresholds → K, H min/max 1. Adjust the price differencing lag/window. 2. Verify that it captures real price inflection points without overreacting to bar noise. Enable optional filters → Volume, ATR, BB The optional Bollinger Bands squeeze usually works best if used with CUSUM Input Mode = Txfrm Data. Monitor CUSUM chart → CU Price, CL Price, thresholds, zero line Act on signals → data window / chart triangles Adjust sensitivity → H (max), K, lengths Monitor ARL ratio and CUSUM behavior for fine-tuning Note : When you’ve finalized the length, lag, and order of the Price Difference, as well as the Ln(Vol) Series of “Confirm Price with Volume” if enabled, then pass both through the Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) mean reversion test to ensure they are stationary, i.e., mean reverting. You can find a ready-made indicator for such use at . Many thanks to tbtkg for this indicator.
