KingEMA8-21-55-89I used the moving average with the habit of 21-55, so added two moving average, one is the short line 8EMA, the other is the medium and long line 89ema
Explain the application of moving averages through the disk surface:
When the price runs above 89, it only looks for the buy signal.
When the price runs below 89, it only looks for sell signals.
The first step up through the 89 moving average after the first confirmation can buy homeoply,
The first pull down after crossing the 89 moving average for the first time confirms that it can be sold in line with the trend.
Price horizontal finishing, moving average frequently across the field observation.
The yellow area in the interval from 8 to 21 is the homeopathic warehouse addition signal.
When the price is above the 89 moving average, the k-line closes below the 21-day moving average as a callback signal
Prices below the 89 ema close above the 21 - day ema as a rebound signal
After the correction and rebound signals come out, we should make half of the profit and the other half of the stop loss in the break-even place.
Moving average is very suitable for the trend of strong varieties, is not suitable for volatile market.
Only at the end of the shock market moving average upward or downward divergent when it is possible to be used.
1. Repeatedly entangle the mean line of horizontal disk stage and observe it from the field
2. Sell the three EMA moving averages when they can't exceed 89EMA with downward crossing
3, many times can not break the new low when prices go sideways profit
4. Buy when the price reaches 89EMA after the convergence of triangle 3 is broken
5, the Angle of price rise slowed and closed below the 21 moving average when profit
6. Left field observation during transverse oscillation.
Sit tight while news or data cause prices to fall quickly
8. Buy when the price triangle breaks through the 89 moving average upward
9, the price does not rise to slow down when the horizontal closed below the 21 moving average when profit
10, price horizontal shock finishing at the same time the average line also transverse finishing field observation
11, the price of the triangle after finishing through the 89 moving average to buy.At this point all the averages have turned up
12, the second time can not break through the new high when the negative line can profit
13, the price of the first time in the same period of time through 89 after the first step back can be re-bought.

Bernoulli Process - Binary Entropy FunctionThis indicator is the Bernoulli Process or Wikipedia - Binary Entropy Function . Within Information Theory, Entropy is the measure of available information, here we use a binary variable 0 or 1 (P) and (1-P) (Bernoulli Function/Distribution), and combined with the Shannon Entropy measurement. As you can see below, it produces some wonderful charts and signals, using price, volume, or both summed together. The chart below shows you a couple of options and some critical details on the indicator. The best part about this is the simplicity, all of this information in a couple of lines of code.
Using the indicator:
The longer the Entropy measurement the more information you are capturing, so the analogy is, the shorter the signal, the less information you have available to utilize. You'll run into your Nyquist frequencies below a length of 5. I've found values between 9 and 22 work well to gather enough measurements. You also have an averaging summation that measures the weight or importance of the information over the summation period. This is also used for highlighting when you have an information signal above the 5% level (2 sigma) and then can be adjusted using the Percent Rank Variable. Finally, you can plot the individual signals (Price or Volume) to get another set of measurements to utilize. As can be seen in the chart below, the volume moves before price (but hopefully you already knew that)
At its core, this is taking the Binary Entropy measurement (using a Bernoulli distribution) for price and volume. I've subtracted the volume from the price so that you can use it like a MACD, also for shorter time frames (7, 9, 11) you can get divergences on the histogram. These divergences are primarily due to the weekly nature of the markets (5 days, 10 days is two weeks,...so 9 is measuring the last day of the past two weeks...so 11 is measuring the current day and the past two weeks).
Here are a couple of other examples, assuming you just love BTC, Stocks, or FOREX. I fashioned up a strategy to show the potential of the indicator.

Divergence Histogram for Many IndicatorHello Traders,
This script analyses divergences for 11 predefined indicators and then draws column on the graph. Red columns for negatif divergence (means prices may go down or trend reversal), Lime columns for positive divergences (means prices may go up or trend reversal)
The script uses Pivot Points and on each bar it checks divergence between last Pivot Point and current High/Low and if it finds any divergence then immediately draws column. There is no Latency/Lag.
There are predefined 11 indicators in the script, which are RSI , MACD , MACD Histogram, Stochastic , CCI , Momentum, OBV, Diosc, VWMACD, CMF and MFI.
Smaller Pivot Point Period check smaller areas and if you use smaller numbers it would be more sensitive and may give alerts very often. So you should set it accordingly.
There is "Check Cut-Through in indicators" option, I recomment you to enable it. it checks that there is cut-through in indicators or not, if no cut-through then it's shown as valid divergence.
You should see following one as well if you haven't yet:
Enjoy!

MAC-Z & MACD Leader signal [ChuckBanger]This is a combination of my MACD Leader script and MAC-Z with option to add Laguerre filter. The advantage of the MAC-Z over MACD is that it is a more accurate and “assumption-free” indicator that can more accurately describe how a market actually perform. But you can use this as a regular MACD indicator.
Crossovers signals
The MAC-Z line and signal line can be utilized in the same way as a stochastic oscillator, with the crossover between the two lines providing buy and sell signals. As with most crossover strategies, a buy signal comes when the shorter-term, more reactive line – in this case the MAC-Z line (blue line) crosses above the slower signal line (orange line). For example, when the MAC-Z line crosses below the signal line it provides a bearish sell signal.
Zero line crossing
The zero cross strategy is based on either of the lines crossing the zero line. If the MAC-Z crosses the zero line from below, it is a signal for a possible new uptrend, while the MAC-Z crossing from above is a signal that a new downtrend may be starting. This is special powerful if the lines has a fast up or down movement but the price action doesn't reflect that movement.
Divergences
Bearish and bullish divergences is my favorite signals. When price action and oscillators follow the same path it is called Convergences, when they don’t, it’s called a Divergence. Don't confuse the two because they have not the same meaning. But be aware that for example during consolidation or low liquidity, some small divergences between price and indicators might form, but that doesn't mean we should consider them as real divergences.
There is many different types of divergences. It is easier to show a picture then explaining it so I recommend you to check out the link below. Especially the top image. It sums this up very well

MACD Leader
The MACD leader is only showing the crossing of MACD as a vertical line

Bitfinex Longs/Shorts Multi-Coin [acatwithcharts]This script plots the longs/shorts ratio derived from Bitfinex for BTCUSDLONGS, BTCUSDSHORTS, and similar for 11 top cryptocurrencies chosen selected based on marketcap, trading volume on Bitfinex, and the maximum number of times that TradingView would let me call the "security" function in one script. Included coins:
BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, XRP, EOS, IOT (IOTA), ETC, ZEC, NEO, XMR
In addition to just plotting the ratios for the individual coins, this script also calculates for a customizable selection of the 11 coins both the average ratio and a weighted average weighted by (USD price of coin * sum of long and short positions).
I wrote it both to use both for a big picture overview of leveraged positions across major coins and to use as a Swiss army knife of longs/shorts ratio indicators for individual coins, most of which do not currently have individual scripts published.
I'm an amateur and you definitely shouldn't take anything I say or use any of my scripts as financial advice. I'd appreciate any feedback.

## 🎯 ORDERFLOW EDITION | Order Blocks + Liquidity Sweeps + IFVG
**TARGET: 3-7 High-Confluence Trades per Day**
**Philosophy: "Zones That Matter"**
---
## ⚡ WHAT'S NEW IN v6
### Major Additions
| Feature | Description | Orderflow Purpose |
|---------|-------------|-------------------|
| **Order Blocks** | Last opposing candle before significant move | Shows where institutions absorbed orders |
| **Liquidity Sweeps** | Sweep of swing H/L with rejection | Identifies stop hunts / trap reversals |
| **IFVG** | Inverse FVG when price reclaims a gap | Failed institutional move = reversal signal |
| **Zone Quality Score** | 0-10 rating for each zone | Only "zones that matter" display |
| **3-Tier Scoring** | Weak/Medium/Excellent classification | Better trade selection |
| **Enhanced Table** | Larger, categorized, color-coded | Instant situation awareness |
### Orderflow Mindset
This version is built around **institutional order flow concepts**:
1. **Institutions leave footprints** → Order Blocks mark where they filled orders
2. **Retail gets trapped** → Liquidity Sweeps show the trap before reversal
3. **Failed moves reverse hard** → IFVG marks failed institutional attempts
4. **Not all zones are equal** → Quality scoring filters noise

## 📦 ORDER BLOCKS (OB)
### What Are Order Blocks?
Order blocks mark the **last opposing candle before a significant move**. This is where institutional traders absorbed retail orders before moving price in their intended direction.
### Detection Logic (Breaker Style)
```
BULLISH OB:
├── Last BEARISH candle before strong bullish move
├── Move after must be ≥ 1.5x ATR
├── Shows where institutions absorbed selling
└── Expect support when price returns
BEARISH OB:
├── Last BULLISH candle before strong bearish move
├── Move after must be ≥ 1.5x ATR
├── Shows where institutions absorbed buying
└── Expect resistance when price returns
```
### OB Quality Scoring
Each Order Block gets a strength score (0-10) based on:
- **Move strength** after the OB (ATR multiple)
- **Volume** on the OB candle
- **Body ratio** of the OB candle
Only OBs with strength ≥ 4 are displayed.
### Trading Order Blocks
| Scenario | Action |
|----------|--------|
| Price returns to Bull OB + buy delta | Look for LONG |
| Price returns to Bear OB + sell delta | Look for SHORT |
| OB + FVG overlap (thick border) | HIGH PROBABILITY |
| OB tested once (gray) | Still valid, often best entry |
| OB broken (closes through) | Invalidated, removed |
---
## 💎 LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
### What Are Liquidity Sweeps?
A liquidity sweep occurs when price **hunts stop losses** by briefly breaking a swing high/low, then **immediately reverses** back. This is the classic "stop hunt" or "liquidity grab."
### Detection Logic
```
BULLISH SWEEP (LS↑):
├── Price sweeps BELOW a recent swing low
├── Closes BACK ABOVE the swing level
├── Shows lower wick (rejection)
├── Buy delta dominance on the candle
└── SIGNAL: Lows swept, shorts trapped → GO LONG
BEARISH SWEEP (LS↓):
├── Price sweeps ABOVE a recent swing high
├── Closes BACK BELOW the swing level
├── Shows upper wick (rejection)
├── Sell delta dominance on the candle
└── SIGNAL: Highs swept, longs trapped → GO SHORT
```
### Why Sweeps Matter for Orderflow
1. **Retail stops get hit** → Liquidity provided to institutions
2. **Institutions fill orders** → At better prices thanks to the sweep
3. **Price reverses** → Move in intended direction begins
4. **You enter with institutions** → Not against them
### Sweep + Zone = High Probability
When a liquidity sweep happens AT or NEAR an Order Block or FVG zone, the probability increases significantly.
---
## 🔄 IFVG (INVERSE FVG)
### What Is an IFVG?
An Inverse FVG forms when price **fills an FVG and then reclaims it** in the opposite direction. This signals a **failed institutional move**.
### Detection Logic
```
BULLISH IFVG:
├── Bearish FVG was created (gap down)
├── Price fills the gap (tests zone)
├── Price CLOSES ABOVE the gap with buy delta
└── SIGNAL: Bears failed → Strong reversal UP
BEARISH IFVG:
├── Bullish FVG was created (gap up)
├── Price fills the gap (tests zone)
├── Price CLOSES BELOW the gap with sell delta
└── SIGNAL: Bulls failed → Strong reversal DOWN

## 📊 ZONE QUALITY SCORING
### The "Zones That Matter" Filter
Not all FVGs and OBs are created equal. v6 implements a **Zone Quality Score** (0-10) that filters out low-quality zones.
### Quality Calculation
| Factor | Max Points | How Measured |
|--------|------------|--------------|
| Gap Size | 2.5 | Larger gap = more points |
| Impulse Strength | 2.5 | Stronger move = more points |
| Volume | 2.0 | Higher volume = more points |
| OB Alignment | 2.0 | FVG overlaps with OB = bonus |
| Session | 1.0 | Created in active session = bonus |
### Min Quality Threshold (Default: 6.0)
Zones scoring below this threshold **are not displayed**. Adjust in settings:
- **Conservative**: Set to 7.0+ (fewer, better zones)
- **Standard**: 6.0 (balanced)
- **Aggressive**: 4.0-5.0 (more zones, more noise)
### Visual Quality Indicators
- **Thick border**: Zone aligns with Order Block (high quality)
- **Bright color**: Fresh zone
- **Gray color**: Tested zone (still valid)
- **Removed**: Broken zone (invalidated)

VMDM - Volume, Momentum & Divergence Master [BullByte]VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master
Educational Multi-Layer Market Structure Analysis System
Multi-factor divergence engine that scores RSI momentum, volume pressure, and institutional footprints into one non-repainting confluence rating (0-100).
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
VMDM is an educational indicator designed to teach traders how to recognize high-probability reversal and continuation patterns by analyzing four independent market dimensions simultaneously. Instead of relying on a single indicator that may produce frequent false signals, VMDM creates a confluence-based scoring system that weights multiple confirmation factors, helping you understand which setups have stronger technical backing and which are lower quality.
This is NOT a trading system or signal generator. It is a learning tool that visualizes complex market structure concepts in an accessible format for both coders and non-coders.
THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
Most traders face these common challenges:
Challenge 1 - Indicator Overload: Running RSI, volume analysis, and divergence detection separately creates chart clutter and conflicting signals. You waste time cross-referencing multiple windows trying to determine if all factors align.
Challenge 2 - False Divergences: Standard divergence indicators trigger on every minor pivot, creating noise. Many divergences fail because they lack supporting evidence from volume or market structure.
Challenge 3 - Missed Context: A bullish RSI divergence means nothing if it occurs during weak volume or in the middle of strong distribution. Context determines quality.
Challenge 4 - Repainting Confusion: Many divergence scripts repaint, showing perfect historical signals that never actually triggered in real-time, leading to false confidence.
Challenge 5 - Institutional Pattern Recognition: Absorption zones, stop hunts, and exhaustion patterns are taught in trading education but difficult to identify systematically without manual analysis.
VMDM addresses all five challenges by combining complementary analytical layers into one transparent, non-repainting, confluence-weighted system with visual clarity.
WHY THIS SPECIFIC COMBINATION - MASHUP JUSTIFICATION
This indicator is NOT a random mashup of popular indicators. Each of the four layers serves a specific analytical purpose and together they create a complete market structure assessment framework.
THE FOUR ANALYTICAL LAYERS
LAYER 1 - RSI MOMENTUM DIVERGENCE (Trend Exhaustion Detection)
Purpose: Identifies when price momentum is weakening before price itself reverses.
Why RSI: The Relative Strength Index measures momentum on a bounded 0-100 scale, making divergence detection mathematically consistent across all assets and timeframes. Unlike raw price oscillators, RSI normalizes momentum regardless of volatility regime.
How It Contributes: Divergence between price pivots and RSI pivots reveals early momentum exhaustion. A lower price low with a higher RSI low (bullish regular divergence) signals sellers are losing strength even as price makes new lows. This is the PRIMARY signal generator in VMDM.
Limitation If Used Alone: RSI divergence by itself produces many false signals because momentum can remain weak during continued trends. It needs confirmation from volume and structural evidence.
LAYER 2 - VOLUME PRESSURE ANALYSIS (Buying vs Selling Intensity)
Purpose: Quantifies whether the current bar's volume reflects buying pressure or selling pressure based on where price closed within the bar's range.
Methodology: Instead of just measuring volume size, VMDM calculates WHERE in the bar range the close occurred. A close near the high on high volume indicates strong buying absorption. A close near the low indicates selling pressure. The calculation accounts for wick size (wicks reduce pressure quality) and uses percentile ranking over a lookback period to normalize pressure strength on a 0-100 scale.
Formula Concept:
Buy Pressure = Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Sell Pressure = Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Net Pressure = Buy Pressure - Sell Pressure
Pressure Strength = Percentile Rank of Net Pressure over lookback period
Why Percentile Ranking: Absolute volume varies by asset and session. Percentile ranking makes 85th percentile pressure on low-volume crypto comparable to 85th percentile pressure on high-volume forex.
How It Contributes: When a bullish divergence occurs at a pivot low AND pressure strength is above 60 (strong buying), this adds 25 confluence points. It confirms that the divergence is occurring during actual accumulation, not just weak selling.
Limitation If Used Alone: Pressure analysis shows current bar intensity but cannot identify trend exhaustion or reversal timing. High buying pressure can exist during a strong uptrend with no reversal imminent.
LAYER 3 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT PATTERNS (Volume Anomaly Detection)
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: The terms "institutional footprint," "absorption," "stop hunt," and "exhaustion" used in this indicator are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price and volume behavioral patterns. These patterns are detected through technical analysis of publicly available price, volume, and bar structure data. This indicator does NOT have access to actual institutional order flow, market maker data, broker stop-loss locations, or any non-public data source. These pattern names are used because they are common terminology in trading education to describe these technical behaviors. The analysis is interpretive and based on observable price action, not privileged information.
Purpose: Detect volume anomalies and price patterns that historically correlate with potential reversal zones or trend continuation failure.
Pattern Type 1 - Absorption (Labeled as "ACCUMULATION" or "DISTRIBUTION")
Detection Criteria: Volume is more than 2x the moving average AND bar range is less than 50 percent of the average bar range.
Interpretation: High volume compressed into a tight range suggests large participants are absorbing supply (accumulation) or distribution (distribution) without allowing price to move significantly. This often precedes directional moves once absorption completes.
Visual: Colored box zone highlighting the absorption area.
Pattern Type 2 - Stop Hunt (Labeled as "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT")
Detection Criteria: Price penetrates a recent 10-bar high or low by a small margin (0.2 percent), then closes back inside the range on above-average volume (1.5x+).
Interpretation: Price briefly spikes beyond recent structure (likely triggering stop losses placed just beyond obvious levels) then reverses. This is a classic false breakout pattern often seen before reversals.
Visual: Label at the wick extreme showing hunt direction.
Pattern Type 3 - Exhaustion (Labeled as "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST")
Detection Criteria: Lower wick is more than 2.5x the body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI below 35 (sell exhaustion), OR upper wick more than 2.5x body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI above 65 (buy exhaustion).
Interpretation: Large wicks with high volume and extreme RSI suggest aggressive buying or selling was met with equally aggressive rejection. This exhaustion often marks short-term extremes.
Visual: Label showing exhaustion type.
How These Contribute: When a divergence forms at a pivot AND one of these behavioral patterns is active, the confluence score increases by 20 points. This confirms the divergence is occurring during structural anomaly activity, not just normal price flow.
Limitation If Used Alone: These patterns can occur mid-trend and do not indicate direction without momentum context. Absorption in a strong uptrend may just be continuation accumulation.
LAYER 4 - CONFLUENCE SCORING MATRIX (Quality Weighting System)
Purpose: Translate all detected conditions into a single 0-100 quality score so you can objectively compare setups.
Scoring Breakdown:
Divergence Present: +30 points (primary signal)
Pressure Confirmation: +25 points (volume supports direction)
Behavioral Footprint Active: +20 points (structural anomaly present)
RSI Extreme: +15 points (RSI below 30 or above 70 at pivot)
Volume Spike: +10 points (current volume above 1.5x average)
Maximum Possible Score: 100 points
Why These Weights: The weights reflect reliability hierarchy based on backtesting observation. Divergence is the core signal (30 points), but without volume confirmation (25 points) many fail. Behavioral patterns add meaningful context (20 points). RSI extremes and volume spikes are secondary confirmations (15 and 10 points).
Quality Tiers:
90-100: TEXTBOOK (all factors aligned)
75-89: HIGH QUALITY (strong confluence)
60-74: VALID (meets minimum threshold)
Below 60: DEVELOPING (not displayed unless threshold lowered)
How It Contributes: The confluence score allows you to filter noise. You can set your minimum quality threshold in settings. Higher thresholds (75+) show fewer but higher-quality patterns. Lower thresholds (50-60) show more patterns but include lower-confidence setups. This teaches you to distinguish strong setups from weak ones.
Limitation: Confluence scoring is historical observation-based, not predictive guarantee. A 95-point setup can still fail. The score represents technical alignment, not future certainty.
WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS TOGETHER
Each layer addresses a limitation in the others:
RSI Divergence identifies WHEN momentum is exhausting (timing)
Volume Pressure confirms WHETHER the exhaustion is accompanied by opposite-side accumulation (confirmation)
Behavioral Footprint shows IF structural anomalies support the reversal hypothesis (context)
Confluence Scoring weights ALL factors into an objective quality metric (filtering)
Using only RSI divergence gives you timing without confirmation. Using only volume pressure gives you intensity without directional context. Using only pattern detection gives you anomalies without trend exhaustion context. Using all four together creates a complete analytical framework where each layer compensates for the others' weaknesses.
This is not a mashup for the sake of combining indicators. It is a structured analytical system where each component has a defined role in a multi-dimensional market assessment process.
HOW TO READ THE INDICATOR - VISUAL ELEMENTS GUIDE
VMDM displays up to five visual layer types. You can enable or disable each layer independently in settings under "Visual Layers."
VISUAL LAYER 1 - MARKET STRUCTURE (Pivot Points and Lines)
What You See:
Small labels at swing highs and lows marked "PH" (Pivot High) and "PL" (Pivot Low) with horizontal dashed lines extending right from each pivot.
What It Means:
These are CONFIRMED pivots, not real-time. A pivot low appears AFTER the required right-side confirmation bars pass (default 3 bars). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. The pivot only appears once it is mathematically confirmed.
The horizontal lines represent support (from pivot lows) and resistance (from pivot highs) levels where price previously found significant rejection.
Color Coding:
Green label and line: Pivot Low (potential support)
Red label and line: Pivot High (potential resistance)
How To Use:
These pivots are the foundation for divergence detection. Divergence is only calculated between confirmed pivots, ensuring all signals are non-repainting. The lines help you see historical structure levels.
VISUAL LAYER 2 - PRESSURE ZONES (Background Color)
What You See:
Subtle background color shading on bars - light green or light red tint.
What It Means:
This visualizes volume pressure strength in real-time.
Color Coding:
Light Green Background: Pressure Strength above 70 (strong buying pressure - price closing near highs on volume)
Light Red Background: Pressure Strength below 30 (strong selling pressure - price closing near lows on volume)
No Color: Neutral pressure (pressure between 30-70)
How To Use:
When a bullish divergence pattern appears during green pressure zones, it suggests the divergence is forming during accumulation. When a bearish divergence appears during red zones, distribution is occurring. Pressure zones help you filter divergences - those forming in supportive pressure environments have higher probability.
VISUAL LAYER 3 - DIVERGENCE LINES (Dotted Connectors)
What You See:
Dotted lines connecting two pivot points (either two pivot lows or two pivot highs).
What It Means:
A divergence has been detected between those two pivots. The line connects the price pivots where RSI showed opposite behavior.
Color Coding:
Bright Green Line: Bullish divergence (regular or hidden)
Bright Red Line: Bearish divergence (regular or hidden)
How To Use:
The divergence line appears ONLY after the second pivot is confirmed (delayed by right-side confirmation bars). This is intentional to prevent repainting. When you see the line appear, it means:
For Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price made a lower low (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher low (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend losing momentum
For Bullish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a higher low (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower low (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend continuation likely (pullback within uptrend)
For Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price made a higher high (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower high (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend losing momentum
For Bearish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a lower high (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher high (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend continuation likely (bounce within downtrend)
If "Show Consolidated Analysis Label" is disabled, a small label will appear on the divergence line showing the divergence type abbreviation.
VISUAL LAYER 4 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT MARKERS
What You See:
Boxes, labels, and markers at specific bars showing pattern detection.
ABSORPTION ZONES (Boxes):
Colored rectangular boxes spanning one or more bars.
Purple Box: Accumulation absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bullish close)
Red Box: Distribution absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bearish close)
If absorption continues for multiple consecutive bars, the box extends and a counter appears in the label showing how many bars the absorption lasted.
What It Means: Large volume is being absorbed without significant price movement. This often precedes directional breakouts once the absorption phase completes.
STOP HUNT MARKERS (Labels):
Small labels below or above wicks labeled "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT" (may show bar count if consecutive).
What It Means:
BULL HUNT : Price spiked below recent lows then reversed back up on volume - likely triggered sell stops before reversing
BEAR HUNT : Price spiked above recent highs then reversed back down on volume - likely triggered buy stops before reversing
EXHAUSTION MARKERS (Labels):
Labels showing "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST."
What It Means:
SELL EXHAUST : Large lower wick with high volume and low RSI - aggressive selling met with strong rejection
BUY EXHAUST : Large upper wick with high volume and high RSI - aggressive buying met with strong rejection
How To Use:
These markers help you identify WHERE structural anomalies occurred. When a divergence signal appears AT THE SAME TIME as one of these patterns, the confluence score increases. You are looking for alignment - divergence + behavioral pattern + pressure confirmation = high-quality setup.
VISUAL LAYER 5 - CONSOLIDATED ANALYSIS LABEL (Main Pattern Signal)
What You See:
A large label appearing at pivot points (or in real-time mode, at current bar) containing full pattern analysis.
Label Appearance:
Depending on your "Use Compact Label Format" setting:
COMPACT MODE (Single Line):
Example: "BULLISH REGULAR | Q:HIGH QUALITY C:82"
Breakdown:
BULLISH REGULAR: Divergence type detected
Q:HIGH QUALITY: Pattern quality tier
C:82: Confluence score (82 out of 100)
FULL MODE (Multi-Line Detailed):
Example:
PATTERN DETECTED
-------------------
BULLISH REGULAR
Quality: HIGH QUALITY
Price: Lower Low
Momentum: Higher Low
Signal: Weakening Downtrend
CONFLUENCE: 82/100
-------------------
Divergence: 30
Pressure: 25
Institutional: 20
RSI Extreme: 0
Volume: 10
Breakdown:
Top section: Pattern type and quality
Middle section: Divergence explanation (what price did vs what RSI did)
Bottom section: Confluence score with itemized breakdown showing which factors contributed
Label Position:
In Confirmed modes: Label appears AT the pivot point (delayed by confirmation bars)
In Real-time mode: Label appears at current bar as conditions develop
Label Color:
Gold: Textbook quality (90+ confluence)
Green: High quality (75-89 confluence)
Blue: Valid quality (60-74 confluence)
How To Use:
This is your primary decision-making label. When it appears:
Check the divergence type (regular divergences are reversal signals, hidden divergences are continuation signals)
Review the quality tier (textbook and high quality have better historical win rates)
Examine the confluence breakdown to see which factors are present and which are missing
Look at the chart context (trend, support/resistance, timeframe)
Use this information to assess whether the setup aligns with your strategy
The label does NOT tell you to buy or sell. It tells you a technical pattern has formed and provides the quality assessment. Your trading decision must incorporate risk management, market context, and your strategy rules.
UNDERSTANDING THE THREE DETECTION MODES
VMDM offers three signal detection modes in settings to accommodate different trading styles and learning objectives.
MODE 1: "Confluence Only (Real-Time)"
How It Works: Displays signals AS THEY DEVELOP on the current bar without waiting for pivot confirmation. The system calculates confluence score from pressure, volume, RSI extremes, and behavioral patterns. Divergence signals are NOT required in this mode.
Delay: ZERO - signals appear immediately.
Use Case: Real-time scanning for high-confluence zones without divergence requirement. Useful for intraday traders who want immediate alerts when multiple factors align.
Tradeoff: More frequent signals but includes setups without confirmed divergence. Higher false signal rate. Signals can change as the bar develops (not repainting in historical bars, but current bar updates).
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the current bar. No divergence lines unless divergence happens to be present.
MODE 2: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)" - DEFAULT RECOMMENDED
How It Works: Full system engagement. Signals appear ONLY when:
A pivot is confirmed (requires right-side confirmation bars to pass)
Divergence is detected between current pivot and previous pivot
Total confluence score meets or exceeds your minimum threshold
Delay: Equal to your "Pivot Right Bars" setting (default 3 bars). This means signals appear 3 bars AFTER the actual pivot formed.
Use Case: Highest-quality, non-repainting signals for swing traders and learners who want to study confirmed pattern completion.
Tradeoff: Delayed signals. You will not receive the signal until confirmation occurs. In fast-moving markets, price may have already moved significantly by the time the signal appears.
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the historical pivot location (in the past). Divergence lines connect the two pivots. This is the most educational mode because it shows completed, confirmed patterns.
Non-Repainting Guarantee: Yes. Once a signal appears, it never disappears or changes.
MODE 3: "Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)"
How It Works: Same as Confirmed mode but with adaptive thresholds. If confluence is very high (10 points above threshold), the signal may appear even if some factors are weak. If divergence is present but confluence is slightly below threshold (within 10 points), it may still appear.
Delay: Same as Confirmed mode (right-side confirmation bars).
Use Case: Slightly more signals than Confirmed mode for traders willing to accept near-threshold setups.
Tradeoff: More signals but lower average quality than Confirmed mode.
Visual Behavior: Same as Confirmed mode.
DASHBOARD GUIDE - READING THE METRICS
The dashboard appears in the corner of your chart (position selectable in settings) and provides real-time market state analysis.
You can choose between four dashboard detail levels in settings: Off, Compact, Optimized (default), Full.
DASHBOARD ROW EXPLANATIONS
ROW 1 - Header Information
Left: Current symbol and timeframe
Center: "VMDM "
Right: Version number
ROW 2 - Mode and Delay
Shows which detection mode you are using and the signal delay.
Example: "CONFIRMED | Delay: 3 bars"
This reminds you that signals in confirmed mode appear 3 bars after the pivot forms.
ROW 3 - Market Regime
Format: "TREND UP HV" or "RANGING NV"
First Part - Trend State:
TREND UP: 20 EMA above 50 EMA with strong separation
TREND DOWN: 20 EMA below 50 EMA with strong separation
RANGING: EMAs close together, low trend strength
TRANSITION: Between trending and ranging states
Second Part - Volatility State:
HV: High Volatility (current ATR more than 1.3x the 50-bar average ATR)
NV: Normal Volatility (current ATR between 0.7x and 1.3x average)
LV: Low Volatility (current ATR less than 0.7x average)
Third Column: Volatility ratio (example: "1.45x" means current ATR is 1.45 times normal)
How To Use: Regime context helps you interpret signals. Reversal divergences are more reliable in ranging or transitional regimes. Continuation divergences (hidden) are more reliable in trending regimes. High volatility means wider stops may be needed.
ROW 4 - Pressure
Shows current volume pressure state.
Format: "BUYING | ██████████░░░░░░░░░"
States:
BUYING : Pressure strength above 60 (closes near highs)
SELLING : Pressure strength below 40 (closes near lows)
NEUTRAL : Pressure strength between 40-60
Bar Visualization: Each block represents 10 percentile points. A full bar (10 filled blocks) = 100th percentile pressure.
Color: Green for buying, red for selling, gray for neutral.
How To Use: When pressure aligns with divergence direction (bullish divergence during buying pressure), confluence is stronger.
ROW 5 - Volume and RSI
Format: "1.8x | RSI 68 | OB"
First Value: Current volume ratio (1.8x = volume is 1.8 times the moving average)
Second Value: Current RSI reading
Third Value: RSI state
OB: Overbought (RSI above 70)
OS: Oversold (RSI below 30)
Blank: Neutral RSI
How To Use: Volume spikes (above 1.5x) during divergence formation add confluence. RSI extremes at pivots add confluence.
ROW 6 - Behavioral Footprint
Format: "BULL HUNT | 2 bars"
Shows the most recent behavioral pattern detected and how long ago.
States:
ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION: Absorption detected
BULL HUNT / BEAR HUNT: Stop hunt detected
SELL EXHAUST / BUY EXHAUST: Exhaustion detected
SCANNING: No recent pattern
NOW: Pattern is active on current bar
How To Use: When footprint activity is recent (within 50 bars) or active now, it adds context to divergence signals forming in that area.
ROW 7 - Current Pattern
Shows the divergence type currently detected (if any).
Examples: "BULLISH REGULAR", "BEARISH HIDDEN", "Scanning..."
Quality: Shows pattern quality (TEXTBOOK, HIGH QUALITY, VALID)
How To Use: This tells you what type of signal is active. Regular divergences are reversal setups. Hidden divergences are continuation setups.
ROW 8 - Session Summary
Format: "14 events | A3 H8 E3"
First Value: Total institutional events this session
Breakdown:
A: Absorption events
H: Stop hunt events
E: Exhaustion events
How To Use: High event counts suggest an active, volatile session with frequent structural anomalies. Low counts suggest quiet, orderly price action.
ROW 9 - Confluence Score (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "78/100 | ████████░░"
Shows current real-time confluence score even if no pattern is confirmed yet.
How To Use: Watch this in real-time to see how close you are to pattern formation. When it exceeds your threshold and divergence forms, a signal will appear (after confirmation delay).
ROW 10 - Patterns Studied (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "47 patterns | 12 bars ago"
First Value: Total confirmed patterns detected since chart loaded
Second Value: How many bars since the last confirmed pattern appeared
How To Use: Helps you understand pattern frequency on your selected symbol and timeframe. If many bars have passed since last pattern, market may be trending without reversal opportunities.
ROW 11 - Bull/Bear Ratio (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "28:19 | BULL"
Shows count of bullish vs bearish patterns detected.
Balance:
BULL: More bullish patterns detected (suggests market has had more bullish reversals/continuations)
BEAR: More bearish patterns detected
BAL: Equal counts
How To Use: Extreme imbalances can indicate directional bias in the studied period. A heavily bullish ratio in a downtrend might suggest frequent failed rallies (bearish continuation). Context matters.
ROW 12 - Volume Ratio Detail (Optimized/Full mode only)
Shows current volume vs average volume in absolute terms.
Example: "1.4x | 45230 / 32300"
How To Use: Confirms whether current activity is above or below normal.
ROW 13 - Last Institutional Event (Full mode only)
Shows the most recent institutional pattern type and how many bars ago it occurred.
Example: "DISTRIBUTION | 23 bars"
How To Use: Tracks recency of last anomaly for context.
SETTINGS GUIDE - EVERY PARAMETER EXPLAINED
PERFORMANCE SECTION
Enable All Visuals (Master Toggle)
Default: ON
What It Does: Master kill switch for ALL visual elements (labels, lines, boxes, background colors, dashboard). When OFF, only plot outputs remain (invisible unless you open data window).
When To Change: Turn OFF on mobile devices, 1-second charts, or slow computers to improve performance. You can still receive alerts even with visuals disabled.
Impact: Dramatic performance improvement when OFF, but you lose all visual feedback.
Maximum Object History
Default: 50 | Range: 10-100
What It Does: Limits how many of each object type (labels, lines, boxes) are kept in memory. Older objects beyond this limit are deleted.
When To Change: Lower to 20-30 on fast timeframes (1-minute charts) to prevent slowdown. Increase to 100 on daily charts if you want more historical pattern visibility.
Impact: Lower values = better performance but less historical visibility. Higher values = more history visible but potential slowdown on fast timeframes.
Alert Cooldown (Bars)
Default: 5 | Range: 1-50
What It Does: Minimum number of bars that must pass before another alert of the same type can fire. Prevents alert spam when multiple patterns form in quick succession.
When To Change: Increase to 20+ on 1-minute charts to reduce noise. Decrease to 1-2 on daily charts if you want every pattern alerted.
Impact: Higher cooldown = fewer alerts. Lower cooldown = more alerts.
USER EXPERIENCE SECTION
Show Enhanced Tooltips
Default: ON
What It Does: Enables detailed hover-over tooltips on labels and visual elements.
When To Change: Turn OFF if you encounter Pine Script compilation errors related to tooltip arguments (rare, platform-specific issue).
Impact: Minimal. Just adds helpful hover text.
MARKET STRUCTURE DETECTION SECTION
Pivot Left Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the LEFT of the center bar that must be higher (for pivot low) or lower (for pivot high) than the center bar for a pivot to be valid.
Example: With value 3, a pivot low requires the center bar's low to be lower than the 3 bars to its left.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 on noisy timeframes (1-minute charts) to filter insignificant pivots
Decrease to 2 on slow timeframes (daily charts) to catch more pivots
Impact: Higher values = fewer, more significant pivots = fewer signals. Lower values = more frequent pivots = more signals but more noise.
Pivot Right Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the RIGHT of the center bar that must pass for confirmation. This creates the non-repainting delay.
Example: With value 3, a pivot is confirmed 3 bars AFTER it forms.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 for slower, more confirmed signals (better for swing trading)
Decrease to 2 for faster signals (better for intraday, but still non-repainting)
Impact: Higher values = longer delay but more reliable confirmation. Lower values = faster signals but less confirmation. This setting directly controls your signal delay in Confirmed and Relaxed modes.
Minimum Confluence Score
Default: 60 | Range: 40-95
What It Does: The threshold score required for a pattern to be displayed. Patterns with confluence scores below this threshold are not shown.
When To Change:
Increase to 75+ if you only want high-quality textbook setups (fewer signals)
Decrease to 50-55 if you want to see more developing patterns (more signals, lower average quality)
Impact: This is your primary signal filter. Higher threshold = fewer, higher-quality signals. Lower threshold = more signals but includes weaker setups. Recommended starting point is 60-65.
TECHNICAL PERIODS SECTION
RSI Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-50
What It Does: Lookback period for RSI calculation.
When To Change:
Decrease to 9-10 for faster, more sensitive RSI that detects shorter-term momentum changes
Increase to 21-28 for slower, smoother RSI that filters noise
Impact: Lower values make RSI more volatile (more frequent extremes and divergences). Higher values make RSI smoother (fewer but more significant divergences). 14 is industry standard.
Volume Moving Average Period
Default: 20 | Range: 10-200
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating average volume. Current volume is compared to this average to determine volume ratio.
When To Change:
Decrease to 10-14 for shorter-term volume comparison (more sensitive to recent volume changes)
Increase to 50-100 for longer-term volume comparison (smoother, less sensitive)
Impact: Lower values make volume ratio more volatile. Higher values make it more stable. 20 is standard.
ATR Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-100
What It Does: Lookback period for Average True Range calculation used for volatility measurement and label positioning.
When To Change: Rarely needs adjustment. Use 7-10 for faster volatility response, 21-28 for slower.
Impact: Affects volatility ratio calculation and visual label spacing. Minimal impact on signals.
Pressure Percentile Lookback
Default: 50 | Range: 10-300
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating volume pressure percentile ranking. Your current pressure is ranked against the pressure of the last X bars.
When To Change:
Decrease to 20-30 for shorter-term pressure context (more responsive to recent changes)
Increase to 100-200 for longer-term pressure context (smoother rankings)
Impact: Lower values make pressure strength more sensitive to recent bars. Higher values provide more stable, long-term pressure assessment. Capped at 300 for performance reasons.
SIGNAL DETECTION SECTION
Signal Detection Mode
Default: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)"
Options:
Confluence Only (Real-time)
Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)
Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)
What It Does: Selects which detection logic mode to use (see "Understanding The Three Detection Modes" section above).
When To Change: Use Confirmed for learning and non-repainting signals. Use Real-time for live scanning without divergence requirement. Use Relaxed for slightly more signals than Confirmed.
Impact: Fundamentally changes when and how signals appear.
VISUAL LAYERS SECTION
All toggles default to ON. Each controls visibility of one visual layer:
Show Market Structure: Pivot markers and support/resistance lines
Show Pressure Zones: Background color shading
Show Divergence Lines: Dotted lines connecting pivots
Show Institutional Footprint Markers: Absorption boxes, hunt labels, exhaustion labels
Show Consolidated Analysis Label: Main pattern detection label
Use Compact Label Format
Default: OFF
What It Does: Switches consolidated label between single-line compact format and multi-line detailed format.
When To Change: Turn ON if you find full labels too large or distracting.
Impact: Visual clarity vs. information density tradeoff.
DASHBOARD SECTION
Dashboard Mode
Default: "Optimized"
Options: Off, Compact, Optimized, Full
What It Does: Controls how much information the dashboard displays.
Off: No dashboard
Compact: 8 rows (essential metrics only)
Optimized: 12 rows (recommended balance)
Full: 13 rows (every available metric)
Dashboard Position
Default: "Top Right"
Options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
What It Does: Screen corner where dashboard appears.
HOW TO USE VMDM - PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
STEP 1 - INITIAL SETUP
Add VMDM to your chart
Select your detection mode (Confirmed recommended for learning)
Set your minimum confluence score (start with 60-65)
Adjust pivot parameters if needed (default 3/3 is good for most timeframes)
Enable the visual layers you want to see
STEP 2 - CHART ANALYSIS
Let the indicator load and analyze historical data
Review the patterns that appear historically
Examine the confluence scores - notice which patterns had higher scores
Observe which patterns occurred during supportive pressure zones
Notice the divergence line connections - understand what price vs RSI did
STEP 3 - PATTERN RECOGNITION LEARNING
When a consolidated analysis label appears:
Read the divergence type (regular or hidden, bullish or bearish)
Check the quality tier (textbook, high quality, or valid)
Review the confluence breakdown - which factors contributed
Look at the chart context - where is price relative to structure, trend, etc.
Observe the behavioral footprint markers nearby - do they support the pattern
STEP 4 - REAL-TIME MONITORING
Watch the dashboard for real-time regime and pressure state
Monitor the current confluence score in the dashboard
When it approaches your threshold, be alert for potential pattern formation
When a new pattern appears (after confirmation delay), evaluate it using the workflow above
Use your trading strategy rules to decide if the setup aligns with your criteria
STEP 5 - POST-PATTERN OBSERVATION
After a pattern appears:
Mark the level on your chart
Observe what price does after the pattern completes
Did price respect the reversal/continuation signal
What was the confluence score of patterns that worked vs. those that failed
Learn which quality tiers and confluence levels produce better results on your specific symbol and timeframe
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND ASSET CLASSES
VMDM is timeframe-agnostic and works on any asset with volume data. However, optimal performance varies:
BEST TIMEFRAMES
15-Minute to 1-Hour: Ideal balance of signal frequency and reliability. Pivot confirmation delay is acceptable. Sufficient volume data for pressure analysis.
4-Hour to Daily: Excellent for swing trading. Very high-quality signals. Lower frequency but higher significance. Recommended for learning because patterns are clearer.
1-Minute to 5-Minute: Works but requires adjustment. Increase pivot bars to 5-7 for filtering. Decrease max object history to 30 for performance. Expect more noise.
Weekly/Monthly: Works but very infrequent signals. Increase confluence threshold to 70+ to ensure only major patterns appear.
BEST ASSET CLASSES
Forex Majors: Excellent volume data and clear trends. Pressure analysis works well.
Crypto (Major Pairs): Good volume data. High volatility makes divergences more pronounced. Works very well.
Stock Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.): Excellent. Clean price action and reliable volume.
Individual Stocks: Works well on high-volume stocks. Low-volume stocks may produce unreliable pressure readings.
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.): Works well. Clear trends and reactions.
WHAT THIS INDICATOR CANNOT DO - LIMITATIONS
LIMITATION 1 - It Does Not Predict The Future
VMDM identifies when technical conditions align historically associated with potential reversals or continuations. It does not predict what will happen next. A textbook 95-confluence pattern can still fail if fundamental events, news, or larger timeframe structure override the setup.
LIMITATION 2 - Confirmation Delay Means You Miss Early Entry
In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, the non-repainting design means you receive signals AFTER the pivot is confirmed. Price may have already moved significantly by the time you receive the signal. This is the tradeoff for non-repainting reliability. You can use Real-time mode for faster signals but sacrifice divergence confirmation.
LIMITATION 3 - It Does Not Tell You Position Sizing or Risk Management
VMDM provides technical pattern analysis. It does not calculate stop loss levels, take profit targets, or position sizing. You must apply your own risk management rules. Never risk more than you can afford to lose based on a technical signal.
LIMITATION 4 - Volume Pressure Analysis Requires Reliable Volume Data
On assets with thin volume or unreliable volume reporting, pressure analysis may be inaccurate. Stick to major liquid assets with consistent volume data.
LIMITATION 5 - It Cannot Detect Fundamental Events
VMDM is purely technical. It cannot predict earnings reports, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, or other fundamental catalysts that can override technical patterns.
LIMITATION 6 - Divergence Requires Two Pivots
The indicator cannot detect divergence until at least two pivots of the same type have formed. In strong trends without pullbacks, you may go long periods without signals.
LIMITATION 7 - Institutional Pattern Names Are Interpretive
The behavioral footprint patterns are named using common trading education terminology, but they are detected through technical analysis, not actual institutional data access. The patterns are interpretations based on price and volume behavior.
CONCEPT FOUNDATION - WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS
MARKET PRINCIPLE 1 - Momentum Divergence Precedes Price Reversal
Price is the final output of market forces, but momentum (the rate of change in those forces) shifts first. When price makes a new low but the momentum behind that move is weaker (higher RSI low), it signals that sellers are losing strength even though they temporarily pushed price lower. This precedes reversal. This is a fundamental principle in technical analysis taught by Charles Dow, widely observed in market behavior.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 2 - Volume Reveals Conviction
Price can move on low volume (low conviction) or high volume (high conviction). When price makes a new low on declining volume while RSI shows improving momentum, it suggests the new low is not confirmed by participant conviction. Adding volume pressure analysis to momentum divergence adds a confirmation layer that filters false divergences.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 3 - Anomalies Mark Structural Extremes
When volume spikes significantly but range contracts (absorption), or when price spikes beyond structure then reverses (stop hunt), or when aggressive moves are met with large-wick rejection (exhaustion), these anomalies often mark short-term extremes. Combining these structural observations with momentum analysis creates context.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 4 - Confluence Improves Probability
No single technical factor is reliable in isolation. RSI divergence alone fails frequently. Volume analysis alone cannot time entries. Combining multiple independent factors into a weighted system increases the probability that observed patterns have structural significance rather than random noise.
THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE
By visualizing all four layers simultaneously and breaking down the confluence scoring transparently, VMDM teaches you to think in terms of multi-dimensional analysis rather than single-indicator reliance. Over time, you will learn to recognize these patterns manually and understand which combinations produce better results on your traded assets.
INSTITUTIONAL TERMINOLOGY - IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION
This indicator uses the following terms that are common in trading education:
Institutional Footprint
Absorption (Accumulation / Distribution)
Stop Hunt
Exhaustion
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER:
These terms are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price action and volume behavior patterns detected through technical analysis of publicly available chart data (open, high, low, close, volume). This indicator does NOT have access to:
Actual institutional order flow or order book data
Market maker positions or intentions
Broker stop-loss databases
Non-public trading data
Proprietary institutional information
The patterns labeled as "institutional footprint" are interpretations based on observable price and volume behavior that educational trading literature often associates with potential large-participant activity. The detection is algorithmic pattern recognition, not privileged data access.
When this indicator identifies "absorption," it means it detected high volume within a small range - a condition that MAY indicate large orders being filled but is not confirmation of actual institutional participation.
When it identifies a "stop hunt," it means price briefly penetrated a structural level then reversed - a pattern that MAY have triggered stop losses but is not confirmation that stops were specifically targeted.
When it identifies "exhaustion," it means high volume with large rejection wicks - a pattern that MAY indicate aggressive participation meeting strong opposition but is not confirmation of institutional involvement.
These are technical analysis interpretations, not factual statements about market participant identity or intent.
DISCLAIMER AND RISK WARNING
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY
This indicator is designed as an educational tool to help traders learn to recognize technical patterns, understand multi-factor analysis, and practice systematic market observation. It is NOT a trading system, signal service, or financial advice.
NO PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Past pattern behavior does not guarantee future results. A pattern that historically preceded price movement in one direction may fail in the future due to changing market conditions, fundamental events, or random variance. Confluence scores reflect historical technical alignment, not future certainty.
TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK
Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than your initial investment. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always use proper risk management including stop losses, position sizing, and portfolio diversification.
NO PREDICTIVE CLAIMS
This indicator does NOT predict future price movement. It identifies when technical conditions align in patterns that historically have been associated with potential reversals or continuations. Market behavior is probabilistic, not deterministic.
BACKTESTING LIMITATIONS
If you backtest trading strategies using this indicator, ensure you account for:
Realistic commission costs
Realistic slippage (difference between signal price and actual fill price)
Sufficient sample size (minimum 100 trades for statistical relevance)
Reasonable position sizing (risking no more than 1-2 percent of account per trade)
The confirmation delay inherent in the indicator (you cannot enter at the exact pivot in Confirmed mode)
Backtests that do not account for these factors will produce unrealistic results.
AUTHOR LIABILITY
The author (BullByte) is not responsible for any trading losses incurred using this indicator. By using this indicator, you acknowledge that all trading decisions are your sole responsibility and that you understand the risks involved.
NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE
Nothing in this indicator, its code, its description, or its visual outputs constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. Consult a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why do signals appear in the past, not at the current bar
A: In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, signals appear at confirmed pivots, which requires waiting for right-side confirmation bars (default 3). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. Use Real-time mode if you want current-bar signals without pivot confirmation.
Q: Can I use this for automated trading
A: You can create alert-based automation, but understand that Confirmed mode signals appear AFTER the pivot with delay, so your entry will not be at the pivot price. Real-time mode signals can change as the current bar develops. Automation requires careful consideration of these factors.
Q: How do I know which confluence score to use
A: Start with 60. Observe which patterns work on your symbol/timeframe. If too many false signals, increase to 70-75. If too few signals, decrease to 55. Quality vs. quantity tradeoff.
Q: Do regular divergences mean I should enter a reversal trade immediately
A: No. Regular divergences indicate momentum exhaustion, which is a WARNING sign that trend may reverse, not a confirmation that it will. Use confluence score, market context, support/resistance, and your strategy rules to make entry decisions. Many divergences fail.
Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence
A: Regular divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions at extremes = potential reversal signal. Hidden divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions during pullbacks = potential continuation signal. Hidden divergence suggests the pullback is just a correction within the larger trend.
Q: Why does the pressure zone color sometimes conflict with the divergence direction
A: Pressure is real-time current bar analysis. Divergence is confirmed pivot analysis from the past. They measure different things at different times. A bullish divergence confirmed 3 bars ago might appear during current selling pressure. This is normal.
Q: Can I use this on stocks without volume data
A: No. Volume is required for pressure analysis and behavioral pattern detection. Use only on assets with reliable volume reporting.
Q: How often should I expect signals
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily charts might produce 5-10 signals per month. 1-hour charts might produce 20-30. 15-minute charts might produce 50-100. Adjust confluence threshold to control frequency.
Q: Can I modify the code
A: Yes, this is open source. You can modify for personal use. If you publish a modified version, please credit the original and ensure your publication meets TradingView guidelines.
Q: What if I disagree with a pattern's confluence score
A: The scoring weights are based on general observations and may not suit your specific strategy or asset. You can modify the code to adjust weights if you have data-driven reasons to do so.
Final Notes
VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master is an educational multi-layer market analysis system designed to teach systematic pattern recognition through transparent, confluence-weighted signal detection. By combining RSI momentum divergence, volume pressure quantification, behavioral footprint pattern recognition, and quality scoring into a unified framework, it provides a comprehensive learning environment for understanding market structure.
Use this tool to develop your analytical skills, understand how multiple technical factors interact, and learn to distinguish high-quality setups from noise. Remember that technical analysis is probabilistic, not predictive. No indicator replaces proper education, risk management, and trading discipline.
Trade responsibly. Learn continuously. Risk only what you can afford to lose.

Superior-Range Bound Renko - Alerts - 11-29-25 - Signal LynxSuperior-Range Bound Renko – Alerts Edition with Advanced Risk Management Template
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
This is the Alerts & Indicator Edition of Superior-Range Bound Renko (RBR).
The Strategy version is built for backtesting inside TradingView.
This Alerts version is built for automation: it emits clean, discrete alert events that you can route into webhooks, bots, or relay engines (including your own Signal Lynx-style infrastructure).
Under the hood, this script contains the same core engine as the strategy:
Adaptive Range Bounding based on volatility
Renko Brick Emulation on standard candles
A stack of Laguerre Filters for impulse detection
K-Means-style Adaptive SuperTrend for trend confirmation
The full Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine (state machine, layered exits, AATS, RSIS, etc.)
The difference is in what we output:
Instead of placing historical trades, this version:
Plots the entry and RM signals in a separate pane (overlay = false)
Exposes alertconditions for:
Long Entry
Short Entry
Close Long
Close Short
TP1, TP2, TP3 hits (Staged Take Profit)
This makes it ideal as the signal source for automated execution via TradingView Alerts + Webhooks.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Best Timeframe:
4H and above. This is a swing-trading / position-trading style engine, not a micro-scalper.
Best Assets:
Volatile but structured markets, e.g.:
BTC, ETH, XAUUSD (Gold), GBPJPY, and similar high-volatility majors or indices.
Script Type:
indicator() – Alerts & Visualization Only
No built-in order placement
All “orders” are emitted as alerts for your external bot or manual handling
Strategy Type:
Volatility-Adaptive Trend Following + Impulse Detection
using Renko-like structure and multi-layer Laguerre filters.
Repainting:
Designed to be non-repainting on closed candles.
The underlying Risk Management engine is built around previous-bar data (close , high , low ) for execution-critical logic.
Intrabar values can move while the bar is forming (normal for any advanced signal), but once a bar closes, the alert logic is stable.
Recommended Alert Settings:
Condition: one of the built-in signals (see section 3.B)
Options: “Once Per Bar Close” is strongly recommended for automation
Message: JSON, CSV, or simple tokens – whatever your webhook / relay expects
3. Detailed Report: How the Alerts Edition Works
A. Relationship to the Strategy Version
The Alerts Edition shares the same internal logic as the strategy version:
Same Adaptive Lookback and volatility normalization
Same Range and Close Range construction
Same Renko Brick Emulator and directional memory (renkoDir)
Same Fib structures, Laguerre stack, K-Means SuperTrend, and Baseline signals (B1, B2)
Same Risk Management Engine and layered exits
In the strategy script, these signals are wired into strategy.entry, strategy.exit, and strategy.close.
In the alerts script:
We still compute the final entry/exit signals (Fin, CloseEmAll, TakeProfit1Plot, etc.)
Instead of placing trades, we:
Plot them for visual inspection
Expose them via alertcondition(...) so that TradingView can fire alerts.
This ensures that:
If you use the same settings on the same symbol/timeframe, the Alerts Edition and Strategy Edition agree on where entries and exits occur.
(Subject only to normal intrabar vs. bar-close differences.)
B. Signals & Alert Conditions
The alerts script focuses on discrete, automation-friendly events.
Internally, the main signals are:
Fin – Final entry decision from the RM engine
CloseEmAll – RM-driven “hard close” signal (for full-position exits)
TakeProfit1Plot / 2Plot / 3Plot – One-time event markers when each TP stage is hit
On the chart (in the separate indicator pane), you get:
plot(Fin) – where:
+2 = Long Entry event
-2 = Short Entry event
plot(CloseEmAll) – where:
+1 = “Close Long” event
-1 = “Close Short” event
plot(TP1/TP2/TP3) (if Staged TP is enabled) – integer tags for TP hits:
+1 / +2 / +3 = TP1 / TP2 / TP3 for Longs
-1 / -2 / -3 = TP1 / TP2 / TP3 for Shorts
The corresponding alertconditions are:
Long Entry
alertcondition(Fin == 2, title="Long Entry", message="Long Entry Triggered")
Fire this to open/scale a long position in your bot.
Short Entry
alertcondition(Fin == -2, title="Short Entry", message="Short Entry Triggered")
Fire this to open/scale a short position.
Close Long
alertcondition(CloseEmAll == 1, title="Close Long", message="Close Long Triggered")
Fire this to fully exit a long position.
Close Short
alertcondition(CloseEmAll == -1, title="Close Short", message="Close Short Triggered")
Fire this to fully exit a short position.
TP 1 Hit
alertcondition(TakeProfit1Plot != 0, title="TP 1 Hit", message="TP 1 Level Reached")
First staged take profit hit (either long or short). Your bot can interpret the direction based on position state or message tags.
TP 2 Hit
alertcondition(TakeProfit2Plot != 0, title="TP 2 Hit", message="TP 2 Level Reached")
TP 3 Hit
alertcondition(TakeProfit3Plot != 0, title="TP 3 Hit", message="TP 3 Level Reached")
Together, these give you a complete trade lifecycle:
Open Long / Short
Optionally scale out via TP1/TP2/TP3
Close remaining via Close Long / Close Short
All while the Risk Management Engine enforces the same logic as the strategy version.
C. Using This Script for Automation
This Alerts Edition is designed for:
Webhook-based bots
Execution relays (e.g., your own Lynx-Relay-style engine)
Dedicated external trade managers
Typical setup flow:
Add the script to your chart
Same symbol, timeframe, and settings you use in the Strategy Edition backtests.
Configure Inputs:
Longs / Shorts enabled
Risk Management toggles (SL, TS, Staged TP, AATS, RSIS)
Weekend filter (if you do not want weekend trades)
RBR-specific knobs (Adaptive Lookback, Brick type, ATR vs Standard Brick, etc.)
Create Alerts for Each Event Type You Need:
Long Entry
Short Entry
Close Long
Close Short
TP1 / TP2 / TP3 (optional, if your bot handles partial closes)
For each:
Condition: the corresponding alertcondition
Option: “Once Per Bar Close” is strongly recommended
Message:
You can use structured JSON or a simple token set like:
{"side":"long","event":"entry","symbol":"{{ticker}}","time":"{{timenow}}"}
or a simpler text for manual trading like:
LONG ENTRY | {{ticker}} | {{interval}}
Wire Up Your Bot / Relay:
Point TradingView’s webhook URL to your execution engine
Parse the messages and map them into:
Exchange
Symbol
Side (long/short)
Action (open/close/partial)
Size and risk model (this script does not position-size for you; it only signals when, not how much.)
Because the alerts come from a non-repainting, RM-backed engine that you’ve already validated via the Strategy Edition, you get a much cleaner automation pipeline.
D. Repainting Protection (Alerts Edition)
The same protections as the Strategy Edition apply here:
Execution-critical logic (trailing stop, TP triggers, SL, RM state changes) uses previous bar OHLC:
open , high , low , close
No security() with lookahead or future-bar dependencies.
This means:
Alerts are designed to fire on states that would have been visible at bar close, not on hypothetical “future history.”
Important practical note:
Intrabar: While a bar is forming, internal conditions can oscillate.
Bar Close: With “Once Per Bar Close” alerts, the fired signal corresponds to the final state of the engine for that candle, matching your Strategy Edition expectations.
4. For Developers & Modders
You can treat this Alerts script as an ”RM + Alert Framework” and inject any signal logic you want.
Where to plug in:
Find the section:
// BASELINE & SIGNAL GENERATION
You’ll see how B1 and B2 are built from the RBR stack and then combined:
baseSig = B2
altSig = B1
finalSig = sigSwap ? baseSig : altSig
To use your own logic:
Replace or wrap the code that sets baseSig / altSig with your own conditions:
e.g., RSI, MACD, Heikin Ashi filters, candle patterns, volume filters, etc.
Make sure your final decision is still:
2 → Long / Buy signal
-2 → Short / Sell signal
0 → No trade
finalSig is then passed into the RM engine and eventually becomes Fin, which:
Drives the Long/Short Entry alerts
Interacts with the RM state machine to integrate properly with AATS, SL, TS, TP, etc.
Because this script already exposes alertconditions for key lifecycle events, you don’t need to re-wire alerts each time — just ensure your logic feeds into finalSig correctly.
This lets you use the Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine + Alerts wrapper as a drop-in chassis for your own strategies.

Superior-Range Bound Renko - Strategy - 11-29-25 - SignalLynxSuperior-Range Bound Renko Strategy with Advanced Risk Management Template
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
Welcome to Superior-Range Bound Renko (RBR) — a volatility-aware, structure-respecting swing-trading system built on top of a full Risk Management (RM) Template from Signal Lynx.
Instead of relying on static lookbacks (like “14-period RSI”) or plain MA crosses, Superior RBR:
Adapts its range definition to market volatility in real time
Emulates Renko Bricks on a standard, time-based chart (no Renko chart type required)
Uses a stack of Laguerre Filters to detect genuine impulse vs. noise
Adds an Adaptive SuperTrend powered by a small k-means-style clustering routine on volatility
Under the hood, this script also includes the full Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine:
A state machine that separates “Signal” from “Execution”
Layered exit tools: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, Staged Take Profit, Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS), and an RSI-style stop (RSIS)
Designed for non-repainting behavior on closed candles by basing execution-critical logic on previous-bar data
We are publishing this as an open-source template so traders and developers can leverage a professional-grade RM engine while integrating their own signal logic if they wish.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Best Timeframe:
4 Hours (H4) and above. This is a high-conviction swing-trading system, not a scalper.
Best Assets:
Volatile instruments that still respect market structure:
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold (XAUUSD), high-volatility Forex pairs (e.g., GBPJPY), indices with clean ranges.
Strategy Type:
Volatility-Adaptive Trend Following + Impulse Detection.
It hunts for genuine expansion out of ranges, not tiny mean-reversion nibbles.
Key Feature:
Renko Emulation on time-based candles.
We mathematically model Renko Bricks and overlay them on your standard chart to define:
“Equilibrium” zones (inside the brick structure)
“Breakout / impulse” zones (when price AND the impulse line depart from the bricks)
Repainting:
Designed to be non-repainting on closed candles.
All RM execution logic uses confirmed historical data (no future bars, no security() lookahead). Intrabar flicker during formation is allowed, but once a bar closes the engine’s decisions are stable.
Core Toggles & Filters:
Enable Longs and Shorts independently
Optional Weekend filter (block trades on Saturday/Sunday)
Per-module toggles: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, Staged Take Profits, AATS, RSIS
3. Detailed Report: How It Works
A. The Strategy Logic: Superior RBR
Superior RBR builds its entry signal from multiple mathematical layers working together.
1) Adaptive Lookback (Volatility Normalization)
Instead of a fixed 100-bar or 200-bar range, the script:
Computes ATR-based volatility over a user-defined period.
Normalizes that volatility relative to its recent min/max.
Maps the normalized value into a dynamic lookback window between a minimum and maximum (e.g., 4 to 100 bars).
High Volatility:
The lookback shrinks, so the system reacts faster to explosive moves.
Low Volatility:
The lookback expands, so the system sees a “bigger picture” and filters out chop.
All the core “Range High/Low” and “Range Close High/Low” boundaries are built on top of this adaptive window.
2) Range Construction & Quick Ranges
The engine constructs several nested ranges:
Outer Range:
rangeHighFinal – dynamic highest high
rangeLowFinal – dynamic lowest low
Inner Close Range:
rangeCloseHighFinal – highest close
rangeCloseLowFinal – lowest close
Quick Ranges:
“Half-length” variants of those, used to detect more responsive changes in structure and volatility.
These ranges define:
The macro box price is trading inside
Shorter-term “pressure zones” where price is coiling before expansion
3) Renko Emulation (The Bricks)
Rather than using the Renko chart type (which discards time), this script emulates Renko behavior on your normal candles:
A “brick size” is defined either:
As a standard percentage move, or
As a volatility-driven (ATR) brick, optionally inhibited by a minimum standard size
The engine tracks a base value and derives:
brickUpper – top of the emulated brick
brickLower – bottom of the emulated brick
When price moves sufficiently beyond those levels, the brick “shifts”, and the directional memory (renkoDir) updates:
renkoDir = +2 when bricks are advancing upward
renkoDir = -2 when bricks are stepping downward
You can think of this as a synthetic Renko tape overlaid on time-based candles:
Inside the brick: equilibrium / consolidation
Breaking away from the brick: momentum / expansion
4) Impulse Tracking with Laguerre Filters
The script uses multiple Laguerre Filters to smooth price and brick-derived data without traditional lag.
Key filters include:
LagF_1 / LagF_W: Based on brick upper/lower baselines
LagF_Q: Based on HLCC4 (high + low + 2×close)/4
LagF_Y / LagF_P: Complex averages combining brick structures and range averages
LagF_V (Primary Impulse Line):
A smooth, high-level impulse line derived from a blend of the above plus the outer ranges
Conceptually:
When the impulse line pushes away from the brick structure and continues in one direction, an impulse move is underway.
When its direction flips and begins to roll over, the impulse is fading, hinting at mean reversion back into the range.
5) Fib-Based Structure & Swaps
The system also layers in Fib levels derived from the adaptive ranges:
Standard levels (12%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61%, 76.8%, 88%) from the main range
A secondary “swap” set derived from close-range dynamics (fib12Swap, fib23Swap, etc.)
These Fibs are used to:
Bucket price into structural zones (below 12, between 23–38, etc.)
Detect breakouts when price and Laguerre move beyond key Fib thresholds
Drive zSwap logic (where a secondary Fib set becomes the active structure once certain conditions are met)
6) Adaptive SuperTrend with K-Means-Style Volatility Clustering
Under the hood, the script uses a small k-means-style clustering routine on ATR:
ATR is measured over a fixed period
The range of ATR values is split into Low, Medium, High volatility centroids
Current ATR is assigned to the nearest centroid (cluster)
From that, a SuperTrend variant (STK) is computed with dynamic sensitivity:
In quiet markets, SuperTrend can afford to be tighter
In wild markets, it widens appropriately to avoid constant whipsaw
This SuperTrend-based oscillator (LagF_K and its signals) is then combined with the brick and Laguerre stack to confirm valid trend regimes.
7) Final Baseline Signals (+2 / -2)
The “brain” of Superior RBR lives in the Baseline & Signal Generation block:
Two composite signals are built: B1 and B2:
They combine:
Fib breakouts
Renko direction (renkoDir)
Expansion direction (expansionQuickDir)
Multiple Laguerre alignments (LagF_Q, LagF_W, LagF_Y, LagF_Z, LagF_P, LagF_V)
They also factor in whether Fib structures are expanding or contracting.
A user toggle selects the “Baseline” signal:
finalSig = B2 (default) or B1 (alternate baseline)
finalSig is then filtered through the RM state machine and only when everything aligns, we emit:
+2 = Long / Buy signal
-2 = Short / Sell signal
0 = No new trade
Those +2 / -2 values are what feed the Risk Management Engine.
B. The Risk Management (RM) Engine
This script features the Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine, a proprietary state machine built to separate Signal from Execution.
Instead of firing orders directly on indicator conditions, we:
Convert the raw signal into a clean integer (Fin = +2 / -2 / 0)
Feed it into a Trade State Machine that understands:
Are we flat?
Are we in a long or short?
Are we in a closing sequence?
Should we permit re-entry now or wait?
Logic Injection / Template Concept:
The RM engine expects a simple integer:
+2 → Buy
-2 → Sell
Everything else (0) is “no new trade”
This makes the script a template:
You can remove the Superior RBR block
Drop in your own logic (RSI, MACD, price action, etc.)
As long as you output +2 or -2 into the same signal channel, the RM engine can drive all exits and state transitions.
Aggressive vs Conservative Modes:
The input AgressiveRM (Aggressive RM) governs how we interpret signals:
Conservative Mode (Aggressive RM = false):
Uses a more filtered internal signal (AF) to open trades
Effectively waits for a clean trend flip / confirmation before new entries
Minimizes whipsaw at the cost of fewer trades
Aggressive Mode (Aggressive RM = true):
Reacts directly to the fresh alert (AO) pulses
Allows faster re-entries in the same direction after RM-based exits
Still respects your pyramiding setting; this script ships with pyramiding = 0 by default, so it will not stack multiple positions unless you change that parameter in the strategy() call.
The state machine enforces discipline on top of your signal logic, reducing double-fires and signal spam.
C. Advanced Exit Protocols (Layered Defense)
The exit side is where this template really shines. Instead of a single “take profit or stop loss,” it uses multiple, cooperating layers.
1) Hard Stop Loss
A classic percentage-based Stop Loss (SL) relative to the entry price.
Acts as a final “catastrophic protection” layer for unexpected moves.
2) Standard Trailing Stop
A percentage-based Trailing Stop (TS) that:
Activates only after price has moved a certain percentage in your favor (tsActivation)
Then trails price by a configurable percentage (ts)
This is a straightforward, battle-tested trailing mechanism.
3) Staged Take Profits (Three Levels)
The script supports three staged Take Profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3):
Each stage has:
Activation percentage (how far price must move in your favor)
Trailing amount for that stage
Position percentage to close
Example setup:
TP1:
Activate at +10%
Trailing 5%
Close 10% of the position
TP2:
Activate at +20%
Trailing 10%
Close another 10%
TP3:
Activate at +30%
Trailing 5%
Close the remaining 80% (“runner”)
You can tailor these quantities for partial scaling out vs. letting a core position ride.
4) Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS)
AATS is a sophisticated volatility- and structure-aware stop:
Uses Hirashima Sugita style levels (HSRS) to model “floors” and “ceilings” of price:
Dungeon → Lower floors → Mid → Upper floors → Penthouse
These levels classify where current price sits within a long-term distribution.
Combines HSRS with Bollinger-style envelopes and EMAs to determine:
Is price extended far into the upper structure?
Is it compressed near the lower ranges?
From this, it computes an adaptive factor that controls how tight or loose the trailing level (aATS / bATS) should be:
High Volatility / Penthouse areas:
Stop loosens to avoid getting wicked out by inevitable spikes.
Low Volatility / compressed structure:
Stop tightens to lock in and protect profit.
AATS is designed to be the “smart last line” that responds to context instead of a single fixed percentage.
5) RSI-Style Stop (RSIS)
On top of AATS, the script includes a RSI-like regime filter:
A McGinley Dynamic mean of price plus ATR bands creates a dynamic channel.
Crosses above the top band and below the lower band change a directional state.
When enabled (UseRSIS):
RSIS can confirm or veto AATS closes:
For longs: A shift to bearish RSIS can force exits sooner.
For shorts: A shift to bullish RSIS can do the same.
This extra layer helps avoid over-reactive stops in strong trends while still respecting a regime change when it happens.
D. Repainting Protection
Many strategies look incredible in the Strategy Tester but fail in live trading because they rely on intrabar values or future-knowledge functions.
This template is built with closed-candle realism in mind:
The Risk Management logic explicitly uses previous bar data (open , high , low , close ) for the key decisions on:
Trailing stop updates
TP triggers
SL hits
RM state transitions
No security() lookahead or future-bar access is used.
This means:
Backtest behavior is designed to match what you can actually get with TradingView alerts and live automation.
Signals may “flicker” intrabar while the candle is forming (as with any strategy), but on closed candles, the RM decisions are stable and non-repainting.
4. For Developers & Modders
We strongly encourage you to mod this script.
To plug your own strategy into the RM engine:
Look for the section titled:
// BASELINE & SIGNAL GENERATION
You will see composite logic building B1 and B2, and then selecting:
baseSig = B2
altSig = B1
finalSig = sigSwap ? baseSig : altSig
You can replace the content used to generate baseSig / altSig with your own logic, for example:
RSI crosses
MACD histogram flips
Candle pattern detectors
External condition flags
Requirements are simple:
Your final logic must output:
2 → Buy signal
-2 → Sell signal
0 → No new trade
That output flows into the RM engine via finalSig → AlertOpen → state machine → Fin.
Once you wire your signals into finalSig, the entire Risk Management system (Stops, TPs, AATS, RSIS, re-entry logic, weekend filters, long/short toggles) becomes available for your custom strategy without re-inventing the wheel.
This makes Superior RBR not just a strategy, but a reference architecture for serious Pine dev work.
