Ultimate Scalping Tool[BullByte]Overview
The Ultimate Scalping Tool is an open-source TradingView indicator built for scalpers and short-term traders released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. It uses a custom Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) oscillator to combine multiple market forces into one visual signal. In plain terms, the script reads momentum, trend strength, volatility, and volume together and plots a special “candlestick” each bar (the QFC) that reflects the overall market bias. This unified view makes it easier to spot entries and exits: the tool labels signals as Strong Buy/Sell, Pullback (a brief retracement in a trend), Early Entry, or Exit Warning . It also provides color-coded alerts and a small dashboard of metrics. In practice, traders see green/red oscillator bars and symbols on the chart when conditions align, helping them scalp or trend-follow without reading multiple separate indicators.
Core Components
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Construction
The QFC is the heart of the indicator. Rather than using raw price, it creates a candlestick-like bar from the underlying oscillator values. Each QFC bar has an “open,” “high/low,” and “close” derived from calculated momentum and volatility inputs for that period . In effect, this turns the oscillator into intuitive candle patterns so traders can recognize momentum shifts visually. (For comparison, note that Heikin-Ashi candles “have a smoother look because take an average of the movement”. The QFC instead represents exact oscillator readings, so it reflects true momentum changes without hiding price action.) Colors of QFC bars change dynamically (e.g. green for bullish momentum, red for bearish) to highlight shifts. This is the first open-source QFC oscillator that dynamically weights four non-correlated indicators with moving thresholds, which makes it a unique indicator on its own.
Oscillator Normalization & Adaptive Weights
The script normalizes its oscillator to a fixed scale (for example, a 0–100 range much like the RSI) so that various inputs can be compared fairly. It then applies adaptive weighting: the relative influence of trend, momentum, volatility or volume signals is automatically adjusted based on current market conditions. For instance, in very volatile markets the script might weight volatility more heavily, or in a strong trend it might give extra weight to trend direction. Normalizing data and adjusting weights helps keep the QFC sensitive but stable (normalization ensures all inputs fit a common scale).
Trend/Momentum/Volume/Volatility Fusion
Unlike a typical single-factor oscillator, the QFC oscillator fuses four aspects at once. It may compute, for example, a trend indicator (such as an ADX or moving average slope), a momentum measure (like RSI or Rate-of-Change), a volume-based pressure (similar to MFI/OBV), and a volatility measure (like ATR) . These different values are combined into one composite oscillator. This “multi-dimensional” approach follows best practices of using non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) for confirmation. By encoding all these signals in one line, a high QFC reading means that trend, momentum, and volume are all aligned, whereas a neutral reading might mean mixed conditions. This gives traders a comprehensive picture of market strength.
Signal Classification
The script interprets the QFC oscillator to label trades. For example:
• Strong Buy/Sell : Triggered when the oscillator crosses a high-confidence threshold (e.g. breaks clearly above zero with strong slope), indicating a well-confirmed move. This is like seeing a big green/red QFC candle aligned with the trend.
• Pullbacks : Identified when the trend is up but momentum dips briefly. A Pullback Buy appears if the overall trend is bullish but the oscillator has a short retracement – a typical buying opportunity in an uptrend. (A pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : Marks an initial swing in the oscillator suggesting a possible new trend, before it is fully confirmed. It’s a hint of momentum building (an early-warning signal), not as strong as the confirmed “Strong” signal.
• Exit Warnings : Issued when momentum peaks or reverses. For instance, if the QFC bars reach a high and start turning red/green opposite, the indicator warns that the move may be ending. In other words, a Momentum Peak is the point of maximum strength after which weakness may follow.
These categories correspond to typical trading concepts: Pullback (temporary reversal in an uptrend), Early Buy (an initial bullish cross), Strong Buy (confirmed bullish momentum), and Momentum Peak (peak oscillator value suggesting exhaustion).
Filters (DI Reversal, Dynamic Thresholds, HTF EMA/ADX)
Extra filters help avoid bad trades. A DI Reversal filter uses the +DI/–DI lines (from the ADX system) to require that the trend direction confirms the signal . For example, it might ignore a buy signal if the +DI is still below –DI. Dynamic Thresholds adjust signal levels on-the-fly: rather than fixed “overbought” lines, they move with volatility so signals happen under appropriate market stress. An optional High-Timeframe EMA or ADX filter adds a check against a larger timeframe trend: for instance, only taking a trade if price is above the weekly EMA or if weekly ADX shows a strong trend. (Notably, the ADX is “a technical indicator used by traders to determine the strength of a price trend”, so requiring a high-timeframe ADX avoids trading against the bigger trend.)
Dashboard Metrics & Color Logic
The Dashboard in the Ultimate Scalping Tool (UST) serves as a centralized information hub, providing traders with real-time insights into market conditions, trend strength, momentum, volume pressure, and trade signals. It is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust its appearance and content based on their preferences.
1. Dashboard Layout & Customization
Short vs. Extended Mode : Users can toggle between a compact view (9 rows) and an extended view (13 rows) via the `Short Dashboard` input.
Text Size Options : The dashboard supports three text sizes— Tiny, Small, and Normal —adjustable via the `Dashboard Text Size` input.
Positioning : The dashboard is positioned in the top-right corner by default but can be moved if modified in the script.
2. Key Metrics Displayed
The dashboard presents critical trading metrics in a structured table format:
Trend (TF) : Indicates the current trend direction (Strong Bullish, Moderate Bullish, Sideways, Moderate Bearish, Strong Bearish) based on normalized trend strength (normTrend) .
Momentum (TF) : Displays momentum status (Strong Bullish/Bearish or Neutral) derived from the oscillator's position relative to dynamic thresholds.
Volume (CMF) : Shows buying/selling pressure levels (Very High Buying, High Selling, Neutral, etc.) based on the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator.
Basic & Advanced Signals:
Basic Signal : Provides simple trade signals (Strong Buy, Strong Sell, Pullback Buy, Pullback Sell, No Trade).
Advanced Signal : Offers nuanced signals (Early Buy/Sell, Momentum Peak, Weakening Momentum, etc.) with color-coded alerts.
RSI : Displays the Relative Strength Index (RSI) value, colored based on overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral conditions.
HTF Filter : Indicates the higher timeframe trend status (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) when using the Leading HTF Filter.
VWAP : Shows the V olume-Weighted Average Price and whether the current price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) it.
ADX : Displays the Average Directional Index (ADX) value, with color highlighting whether it is rising (green) or falling (red).
Market Mode : Shows the selected market type (Crypto, Stocks, Options, Forex, Custom).
Regime : Indicates volatility conditions (High, Low, Moderate) based on the **ATR ratio**.
3. Filters Status Panel
A secondary panel displays the status of active filters, helping traders quickly assess which conditions are influencing signals:
- DI Reversal Filter: On/Off (confirms reversals before generating signals).
- Dynamic Thresholds: On/Off (adjusts buy/sell thresholds based on volatility).
- Adaptive Weighting: On/Off (auto-adjusts oscillator weights for trend/momentum/volatility).
- Early Signal: On/Off (enables early momentum-based signals).
- Leading HTF Filter: On/Off (applies higher timeframe trend confirmation).
4. Visual Enhancements
Color-Coded Cells : Each metric is color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral) for quick interpretation.
Dynamic Background : The dashboard background adapts to market conditions (bullish/bearish/neutral) based on ADX and DI trends.
Customizable Reference Lines : Users can enable/disable fixed reference lines for the oscillator.
How It(QFC) Differs from Traditional Indicators
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Versus Heikin-Ashi
Heikin-Ashi candles smooth price by averaging (HA’s open/close use averages) so they show trend clearly but hide true price (the current HA bar’s close is not the real price). QFC candles are different: they are oscillator values, not price averages . A Heikin-Ashi chart “has a smoother look because it is essentially taking an average of the movement”, which can cause lag. The QFC instead shows the raw combined momentum each bar, allowing faster recognition of shifts. In short, HA is a smoothed price chart; QFC is a momentum-based chart.
Versus Standard Oscillators
Common oscillators like RSI or MACD use fixed formulas on price (or price+volume). For example, RSI “compares gains and losses and normalizes this value on a scale from 0 to 100”, reflecting pure price momentum. MFI is similar but adds volume. These indicators each show one dimension: momentum or volume. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s QFC goes further by integrating trend strength and volatility too. In practice, this means a move that looks strong on RSI might be downplayed by low volume or weak trend in QFC. As one source notes, using multiple non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) provides a more complete market picture. The QFC’s multi-factor fusion is unique – it is effectively a multi-dimensional oscillator rather than a traditional single-input one.
Signal Style
Traditional oscillators often use crossovers (RSI crossing 50) or fixed zones (MACD above zero) for signals. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s signals are custom-classified: it explicitly labels pullbacks, early entries, and strong moves. These terms go beyond a typical indicator’s generic “buy”/“sell.” In other words, it packages a strategy around the oscillator, which traders can backtest or observe without reading code.
Key Term Definitions
• Pullback : A short-term dip or consolidation in an uptrend. In this script, a Pullback Buy appears when price is generally rising but shows a brief retracement. (As defined by Investopedia, a pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : An initial or tentative entry signal. It means the oscillator first starts turning positive (or negative) before a full trend has developed. It’s an early indication that a trend might be starting.
• Strong Buy/Sell : A confident entry signal when multiple conditions align. This label is used when momentum is already strong and confirmed by trend/volume filters, offering a higher-probability trade.
• Momentum Peak : The point where bullish (or bearish) momentum reaches its maximum before weakening. When the oscillator value stops rising (or falling) and begins to reverse, the script flags it as a peak – signaling that the current move could be overextended.
What is the Flux MA?
The Flux MA (Moving Average) is an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) applied to a normalized oscillator, referred to as FM . Its purpose is to smooth out the fluctuations of the oscillator, providing a clearer picture of the underlying trend direction and strength. Think of it as a dynamic baseline that the oscillator moves above or below, helping you determine whether the market is trending bullish or bearish.
How it’s calculated (Flux MA):
1.The oscillator is normalized (scaled to a range, typically between 0 and 1, using a default scale factor of 100.0).
2.An EMA is applied to this normalized value (FM) over a user-defined period (default is 10 periods).
3.The result is rescaled back to the oscillator’s original range for plotting.
Why it matters : The Flux MA acts like a support or resistance level for the oscillator, making it easier to spot trend shifts.
Color of the Flux Candle
The Quantum Flux Candle visualizes the normalized oscillator (FM) as candlesticks, with colors that indicate specific market conditions based on the relationship between the FM and the Flux MA. Here’s what each color means:
• Green : The FM is above the Flux MA, signaling bullish momentum. This suggests the market is trending upward.
• Red : The FM is below the Flux MA, signaling bearish momentum. This suggests the market is trending downward.
• Yellow : Indicates strong buy conditions (e.g., a "Strong Buy" signal combined with a positive trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go long.
• Purple : Indicates strong sell conditions (e.g., a "Strong Sell" signal combined with a negative trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go short.
The candle mode shows the oscillator’s open, high, low, and close values for each period, similar to price candlesticks, but it’s the color that provides the quick visual cue for trading decisions.
How to Trade the Flux MA with Respect to the Candle
Trading with the Flux MA and Quantum Flux Candle involves using the MA as a trend indicator and the candle colors as entry and exit signals. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Identify the Trend Direction
• Bullish Trend : The Flux Candle is green and positioned above the Flux MA. This indicates upward momentum.
• Bearish Trend : The Flux Candle is red and positioned below the Flux MA. This indicates downward momentum.
The Flux MA serves as the reference line—candles above it suggest buying pressure, while candles below it suggest selling pressure.
2. Interpret Candle Colors for Trade Signals
• Green Candle : General bullish momentum. Consider entering or holding a long position.
• Red Candle : General bearish momentum. Consider entering or holding a short position.
• Yellow Candle : A strong buy signal. This is an ideal time to enter a long trade.
• Purple Candle : A strong sell signal. This is an ideal time to enter a short trade.
3. Enter Trades Based on Crossovers and Colors
• Long Entry : Enter a buy position when the Flux Candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA. If it turns yellow, this is an even stronger signal to go long.
• Short Entry : Enter a sell position when the Flux Candle turns red and crosses below the Flux MA. If it turns purple, this is an even stronger signal to go short.
4. Exit Trades
• Exit Long : Close your buy position when the Flux Candle turns red or crosses below the Flux MA, indicating the bullish trend may be reversing.
• Exit Short : Close your sell position when the Flux Candle turns green or crosses above the Flux MA, indicating the bearish trend may be reversing.
•You might also exit a long trade if the candle changes from yellow to green (weakening strong buy signal) or a short trade from purple to red (weakening strong sell signal).
5. Use Additional Confirmation
To avoid false signals, combine the Flux MA and candle signals with other indicators or dashboard metrics (e.g., trend strength, momentum, or volume pressure). For example:
•A yellow candle with a " Strong Bullish " trend and high buying volume is a robust long signal.
•A red candle with a " Moderate Bearish " trend and neutral momentum might need more confirmation before shorting.
Practical Example
Imagine you’re scalping a cryptocurrency:
• Long Trade : The Flux Candle turns yellow and is above the Flux MA, with the dashboard showing "Strong Buy" and high buying volume. You enter a long position. You exit when the candle turns red and dips below the Flux MA.
• Short Trade : The Flux Candle turns purple and crosses below the Flux MA, with a "Strong Sell" signal on the dashboard. You enter a short position. You exit when the candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA.
Market Presets and Adaptation
This indicator is designed to work on any market with candlestick price data (stocks, crypto, forex, indices, etc.). To handle different behavior, it provides presets for major asset classes. Selecting a “Stocks,” “Crypto,” “Forex,” or “Options” preset automatically loads a set of parameter values optimized for that market . For example, a crypto preset might use a shorter lookback or higher sensitivity to account for crypto’s high volatility, while a stocks preset might use slightly longer smoothing since stocks often trend more slowly. In practice, this means the same core QFC logic applies across markets, but the thresholds and smoothing adjust so signals remain relevant for each asset type.
Usage Guidelines
• Recommended Timeframes : Optimized for 1 minute to 15 minute intraday charts. Can also be used on higher timeframes for short term swings.
• Market Types : Select “Crypto,” “Stocks,” “Forex,” or “Options” to auto tune periods, thresholds and weights. Use “Custom” to manually adjust all inputs.
• Interpreting Signals : Always confirm a signal by checking that trend, volume, and VWAP agree on the dashboard. A green “Strong Buy” arrow with green trend, green volume, and price > VWAP is highest probability.
• Adjusting Sensitivity : To reduce false signals in fast markets, enable DI Reversal Confirmation and Dynamic Thresholds. For more frequent entries in trending environments, enable Early Entry Trigger.
• Risk Management : This tool does not plot stop loss or take profit levels. Users should define their own risk parameters based on support/resistance or volatility bands.
Background Shading
To give you an at-a-glance sense of market regime without reading numbers, the indicator automatically tints the chart background in three modes—neutral, bullish and bearish—with two levels of intensity (light vs. dark):
Neutral (Gray)
When ADX is below 20 the market is considered “no trend” or too weak to trade. The background fills with a light gray (high transparency) so you know to sit on your hands.
Bullish (Green)
As soon as ADX rises above 20 and +DI exceeds –DI, the background turns a semi-transparent green, signaling an emerging uptrend. When ADX climbs above 30 (strong trend), the green becomes more opaque—reminding you that trend-following signals (Strong Buy, Pullback) carry extra weight.
Bearish (Red)
Similarly, if –DI exceeds +DI with ADX >20, you get a light red tint for a developing downtrend, and a darker, more solid red once ADX surpasses 30.
By dynamically varying both hue (green vs. red vs. gray) and opacity (light vs. dark), the background instantly communicates trend strength and direction—so you always know whether to favor breakout-style entries (in a strong trend) or stay flat during choppy, low-ADX conditions.

Volume-Weighted Price MovementThe Volume-Weighted Price Movement (VWPM) indicator is an easy to read technical analysis tool that analyses how volume and price movement work together to drive market momentum.
How It Works
The VWPM indicator tracks two primary components:
Bullish Movement (green line): Measures the upward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes above the open, this component calculates how much buying pressure exists by multiplying the price change (close - open) by the volume of that period.
Bearish Movement (red line): Measures the downward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes below the open, this component calculates how much selling pressure exists by multiplying the price change (open - close) by the volume of that period.
Bull-Bear Difference (lime/orange line): Shows the net momentum by subtracting bearish movement from bullish movement, providing an at-a-glance view of which force is dominant.
The VWPM integrates volume data to identify whether price movements are backed by significant participation. A large price move with low volume carries less weight than the same move with high volume, providing a more accurate reflection of market strength.
A shorter lookback period makes the indicator more responsive to recent price action, while a longer period smooths out market noise for trend identification.
Interpretation
Bullish Signals
When the green line (bull movement) rises and stays above the red line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses above zero and maintains positive momentum
Divergence between price making lower lows but the bull line making higher lows (hidden strength)
Bearish Signals
When the red line (bear movement) rises and stays above the green line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses below zero and maintains negative momentum
Divergence between price making higher highs but the bull line making lower highs (hidden weakness)

🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
The primary goal of the "AQPRO Pattern Map" is to equip traders with a highly efficient way of identifying significant candlestick patterns across different timeframes, making the decision-making process stronger in a sense of both quality and quantity of presented information.
Specifically, this indicator addresses the following needs:
Automation of pattern detection.
Nobody likes searching for patterns on the chart "by hand", because it takes too much time and mental energy. With this screener you can forget about this problem: automatic scanning for 27 of the most commonly used patterns will save your tens, if not hundreds of hours of time, so you can focus on what really matters;
Multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis.
This one is one of the most unique features of this indicator, because after conducting product research in library of open-source scripts alike this screener, almost none of reviewed indicators had MTF analysis feature embedded in them. This feature is important for the simplest of reasons: you see candlestick data from other timeframes without jumping from one timeframe to another . Needless to say how much time it will save for traders over the years of trading. See description below to learn more on exact functionality of our MTF analysis;
Risk management automation.
Humans tend to overestimate risk, when matters are about earning money from "financially-dangerous" activities and trading is no exception. To help traders better understand what they risk, we implemented a simple, yet effective way of displaying levels of risk for each pattern. For each new pattern on the chart you will be able see automatic creation of Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels. It involves creation and displaying of lines and labels, representing each level at its exact coordinates. This elevates visual perception of risk for fellow traders and avoid excessive risk in many cases;
Simplicity in data visualization.
Charts, which are cluttered with pointless visual noise, presented as 'additional confirmation analysis', don't foster insights and are not worth a dime . We understand this issue very well and we designed our indicator with the solution to this problem in mind. Every bit of information, that you will see on your chart, will make sense both technically and visually — no more wasting time cleaning mess on your charts.
By addressing the needs, described above, this indicator will be a useful tool for any trader, who employs principles of candlestick pattern analysis, because most important pains of this kind of analysis are efficiently handled by our indicator.

In this group of settings you can fine-tune the visual appearance of the indicator to fit your preferences.
IMPORTANT: colour parameters from this group of settings affect ONLY colours in the dashboard.
"Use info dashboard" — if enabled, shows dashboard in the top right corner of the chart, which displays latest pattern's TP and SL alongside with this pattern's trade status: '⏳' - TP or SL have not been reached yet, '✋' - TP or SL have already been reached already, refrain from taking the trade.
"Bullish Pattern" — defines the color for bullish patterns.
"Bearish Pattern" — defines the color for bearish patterns.
"Neutral Pattern" — specify the color for neutral patterns like Doji.
"Frame Width" — adjusts the thickness of frames highlighting detected patterns on the chart.
📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
The way of application of this indicator is pretty straightforward, because trading methodologies based on candlestick patterns were developed decades ago and haven't changed much since then. However, we find it necessary to explain the most essential ways of application in this section.
Let's start with the basics — how you will your chart look when you load the indicator for the first time:
By default we have 5 main visual data "blocks":
Bullish patterns;
Bearish patterns;
Risk visualization;
Main Dashboard;
MTF Screener.
Let's review each of these groups one by one.
BULLISH & BEARISH PATTERNS
Patterns are displayed as up/down labels, which are styled in corresponding to trend colours. Each patterns has its own unique emoji to help traders easily navigate between patterns.
Also by default each pattern has its custom frame, inside of which resides candle (or multiple candles) of the pattern iself. These frames are made with purpose to show each pattern in a very clear way on the chart, because huge number of public scripts usually only show simple label of such patterns and don't highlight the pattern itself on the chart. To remove frames you can set "Frame Width" parameter to 0 in 'Visual Settings' group in the settings.
You can see the examples of frame on the screenshot below:
RISK VISUALIZATION (TP & SL)
Displaying Take-Profits and Stop-Losses in our indicator on the chart works quite simple: for each new trade indicator creates new pairs of lines and labels for TP and SL, while lines & labels from previous trade are erased for aesthetics purposes. Each label shows price coordinates, so that each trader would be able to grap the numbers in seconds.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL visualization on the screenshot below:
Also, whenever TP or SL of the current trade is reached, drawing of both TP and SL stops . When the TP is reached, additional '✅' emoji on the TP price is shown as confirmation of Take-Profit.
However, while TP or SL has not been reached, TP&SL labels and lines will be prolonged until one of them will be reached or new signals will come.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL stopping being visualized & TP on the screenshot below:
MAIN DASHBOARD
Main dashboard is displayed in the top right corner of the chart and it shows the data of latest pattern, that occurred on the current asset and current timeframe: pattern's name, TP, SL and trade status. Depending on bullishness or bearishness of the pattern, dashboard is colour in respective colour.
Also on the right of side TP and SL data block there is a so called trade status. It is basically an indication of wether or not latest pattern's trade is still active or not:
If TP or SL of the pattern have not been reached yet, trade is considered active and is marked with '⏳' emoji;
If TP or SL of the pattern have already been reached, trade is considered inactive and is marked with '✋' emoji.
See the visual showcase of dashboard on the screenshot below:
MTF Screener
MTF Screener is displayed right below the main dashboard and its has distinctive 'MTF Patterns' header row on the top, painted in gray colour to make sure that every traders understand he is looking at.
This screener shows the timeframe and name of patterns from four other timeframes, which trader can customize in the settings to his liking. This will help trader get more insights on global sentiment of other timeframes, which improves trading results overall if applied correctly.
In the future MTF Screener will be expanded to have more data in it, like TP and SL, age of pattern and etc.
See the visual showcase of the MTF Screener on the screenshot below:
Features, explained above, make this indicator quite versatile and suitable for incorporation in any trading strategy, which uses candlestick patterns. They are simple, yet insightful, and traders, which use similar strategies everyday, will truly appreciate the benefits of this indicator when they will set up this indicator for the first time on their chart.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new pattern occurs. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call' .
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH pattern PATTERN_NAME was found."
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bullish pattern 'Hammer' was found."
📌 NOTES
This indicator is most effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools such as trendlines, moving averages, support/resistance levels or any other indicator-type tool. We strongly recommend using this indicator as confirmation indicator for your main trading strategy, not as primary source of signals;
If you want to trade directly by these patterns, make sure to use proper risk management techniques of your own and use TP&SL visualization on the chart to always have a clue about your current position;
If you lost track of visual components on the chart, look at the main dashboard to see text summary of data from latest pattern. Also don't forget to look at MTF Screener to have more context about MTF sentiment, because it is increases your understandings of MTF price trend and improves your decision-making process.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO Pattern Map was built to help traders automate candlestick pattern searching routine, improve chart readability and enhance perception of current potential risks, which may come from trading from a specific pattern. Indicator's main dashboard and MTF screener eliminate the need for constantly checking other timeframe for global sentiment, helping traders save even more time and fostering improved decision making.
This indicator will work in great conjunction with any other trading strategy as confirmation tool for entry decision. Using this indicator as primary source of signals is not recommended due to unstable nature of trading patterns.

Support BandsSupport Bands – Discount Zones for Bitcoin
⚡Overview:
-The Support Bands indicator identifies one of the most tested and respected support zones for Bitcoin using moving averages from higher timeframes.
-These zones are visualized through colored bands (blue, white, and violet), simplifying the decision making process especially for less experienced traders who seek high-probability areas to accumulate Bitcoin during retracements.
-Band levels are based on manual backtesting and real-world price behavior throughout Bitcoin’s history.
-Each zone reflects a different degree of support strength, from temporary pullback zones to historical bottoms.
⚡️ Key Characteristics:
-Highlights discount zones where Bitcoin has historically shown strong reactions.
-Uses 3 different levels of supports based on EMA/SMA combinations.
-Offers a clean, non-intrusive overlay that reduces chart clutter.
⚡ How to Use:
-Open your chart on the 1W timeframe and select the BTC Bitstamp or BLX symbol, as they provide the most complete historical data, ensuring optimal performance of the indicator.
-Use the bands as reference zones for support and potential pullbacks.
- Level 3 (violet band) historically marks the bottom of Bitcoin bear markets and is ideal for long-term entries during deep corrections.
- Level 2 (white band) often signals macro reaccumulation zones but usually requires 1–3 months of consolidation before a breakout. If the price closes below and then retests this level as resistance for 1–2 weekly candles, it often marks the start of a macro downtrend.
-Level 1 (blue band) acts as short-term support during strong bullish moves, typically after a successful rebound from Level 2.
⚡ What Makes It Unique:
- This script merges moving averages per level into three simplified bands for clearer analysis.
-Reduces chart noise by avoiding multiple overlapping lines, helping you make faster and cleaner decisions.
- Built from manual market study based on recurring Bitcoin behavior, not just random code.
-Historically backtested:
-Level 3 (violet band) until today has always marked the bitcoin bearmarket bottom.
- Level 2 (white band) is the strongest support during bull markets; losing it often signals a macro trend reversal.
- Level 1 is frequently retested during impulsive rallies and can act as short-term support or resistance.
⚡ Disclaimer:
-This script is a visual tool to assist with market analysis.
-It does not generate buy or sell signals, nor does it predict future movements.
-Historical performance is not indicative of future results.
-Always use independent judgment and proper risk management.
⚡ Why Use Support Bands:
-Ideal for traders who want clarity without dozens of lines on their charts.
- Helps identify logical zones for entry or reaccumulation.
- Based on actual market behavior rather than hypothetical setups.
-If the blue band (Level 1) doesn't hold as support, the price often moves to the white band (Level 2), and if that fails too, the violet band (Level 3) is typically the last strong support. By dividing your capital into three planned entries, one at each level,you can manage risk more effectively compared to entering blindly without this structure.
Multi-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle ConfirmationMulti-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle Confirmation
Overview
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify alignment between their current chart’s candlestick direction and higher timeframes of their choice. By coloring bars on the current chart (e.g., 1-minute) based on the directional alignment with selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10-minute, daily), this indicator provides a visual cue for confirming trends across multiple timeframes—a concept known as Timeframe Continuity. This approach is particularly useful for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to ensure their trades align with broader market trends, reducing the risk of trading against the prevailing momentum.
Originality and Usefulness
This indicator is an original creation, built from scratch to address a common challenge in trading: ensuring that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. Unlike many trend-following indicators that rely on moving averages, oscillators, or other lagging metrics, this script directly compares the bullish or bearish direction of candlesticks across timeframes. It introduces the following unique features:
Customizable Timeframes: Users can select from a range of higher timeframes (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M) to check for alignment, making it adaptable to various trading styles.
Neutral Candle Handling: The script accounts for neutral candles (where close == open) on the current timeframe by allowing them to inherit the direction of the higher timeframe, ensuring continuity in trend visualization.
Table: A table displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping identify direction in the event you don't want to color bars.
Toggles for Flexibility: Options to disable bar coloring and the debug table allow users to customize the indicator’s visual output for cleaner charts or focused analysis.
This indicator is not a mashup of existing scripts but a purpose-built tool to visualize timeframe alignment directly through candlestick direction, offering traders a straightforward way to confirm trend consistency.
What It Does
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator colors bars on your chart when the direction of the current timeframe’s candlestick (bullish, bearish, or neutral) aligns with the direction of the selected higher timeframes:
Lime: The current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10m) are bullish.
Pink: The current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish.
Default Color: If the directions don’t align (e.g., 1m bar is bearish but 10m is bullish), the bar remains the default chart color.
The indicator also includes a debug table (toggleable) that shows the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping traders diagnose alignment issues.
How It Works
The script uses the following methodology:
1. Direction Calculation: For each timeframe (current and selected higher timeframes), the script determines the candlestick’s direction:
Bullish (1): close > open / Bearish (-1): close < open / Neutral (0): close == open
Higher timeframe directions are fetched using Pine Script’s request.security function, ensuring accurate data retrieval.
2. Alignment Check: The script checks if all selected higher timeframes are uniformly bullish (full_bullish) or bearish (full_bearish).
o A higher timeframe must have a clear direction (bullish or bearish) to trigger coloring. If any selected timeframe is neutral, alignment fails, and no coloring occurs.
3. Coloring Logic: The current bar is colored only if its direction aligns with the higher timeframes:
Lime if the higher timeframes are bullish and the current bar is bullish or neutral.
Maroon if the higher timeframes are bearish and the current bar is bearish or neutral.
If the current bar’s direction opposes the higher timeframe (e.g., 1m bearish, 10m bullish), the bar remains uncolored.
Users can disable bar coloring entirely via the settings, leaving bars in their default chart color.
4. Direction Table:
A table in the top-right corner (toggleable) displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, using color-coded labels (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
This feature helps traders understand why a bar is or isn’t colored, making the indicator accessible to users unfamiliar with Pine Script.
How to Use
1. Add the Indicator: Add the "Timeframe Continuity Indicator" to your chart in TradingView (e.g., a 1m chart of SPY).
2. Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection: Check the boxes for the higher timeframes you want to compare against (default: 10m). Options include 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1D, 1W, and 1M. Select multiple timeframes if you want to ensure alignment across all of them (e.g., 10m and 1d).
Enable Bar Coloring: Default: true (bars are colored lime or maroon when aligned). Set to false to disable coloring and keep the default chart colors.
Show Table: Default: true (table is displayed in the top-right corner). Set to false to hide the table for a cleaner chart.
3. Interpret the Output:
Colored Bars: Lime bars indicate the current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bullish. Maroon bars indicate the current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish. Uncolored bars (default chart color) indicate a mismatch (e.g., 1m bar is bearish while 10m is bullish) or no coloring if disabled.
Direction Table: Check the table to see the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe.
4. Example Use Case:
On a 1m chart of SPY, select the 10m timeframe.
If the 10m timeframe is bearish, 1m bars that are bearish or neutral will color maroon, confirming you’re trading with the higher timeframe’s trend.
If a 1m bar is bullish while the 10m is bearish, it remains uncolored, signaling a potential misalignment to avoid trading.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is based on the concept of Timeframe Continuity, a strategy used by traders to ensure that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. This reduces the risk of entering trades against the broader market direction. The script directly compares candlestick directions (bullish, bearish, or neutral) rather than relying on lagging indicators like moving averages or RSI, providing a real-time, price-action-based confirmation of trend alignment. The handling of neutral candles ensures that minor indecision on the lower timeframe doesn’t interrupt the visualization of the higher timeframe’s trend.
Why This Indicator?
Simplicity: Directly compares candlestick directions, avoiding complex calculations or lagging indicators.
Flexibility: Customizable timeframes and toggles cater to various trading strategies.
Transparency: The debug table makes the indicator’s logic accessible to all users, not just those who can read Pine Script.
Practicality: Helps traders confirm trend alignment, a key factor in successful trading across timeframes.

1. Bi-Directional Component Separation
The indicator presents momentum through mathematically isolated histograms that separate bullish and bearish forces for independent analysis.
When bullish momentum is dominant, the bullish component (green) shows greater amplitude than the bearish component.
Similarly, when bearish momentum is dominant, the bearish component (red) shows greater amplitude than the bullish component.
During transitional periods, components may show equal strength, indicating momentum equilibrium.
This visualization provides immediate insights into:
→ Competing market forces simultaneously
→ Momentum exhaustion before reversals
→ Quantified momentum strength across different timeframes
2. Real-Time Status Update
The indicator features a comprehensive analysis dashboard that operates with dynamic strength classification:
The dashboard automatically categorizes momentum from "Very Weak" to "Very Strong" based on component amplitude.
Historical comparison displays previous bar metrics for trend analysis, helping traders and investors understand momentum persistence.
Color-coded visualization matches histogram components for immediate recognition of market bias.
Adaptive positioning offers nine customizable table locations for optimal display across different chart layouts.
Regardless of position, the dashboard displays:
Current momentum direction (BULLISH or BEARISH)
Momentum strength percentage (0-100%)
Previous bar comparison for trend persistence
Active component colors for visual consistency
This comprehensive approach helps traders and investors:
→ Assess current momentum strength quantitatively
→ Identify momentum shifts through historical comparison
→ Make informed decisions based on momentum context
3. Reversal Signal Detection System
The indicator generates trading signals using advanced multi-factor validation:
Exhaustion signals are detected when components cross down after exceeding statistical boundaries, indicating potential momentum reversals.
Trend flip alerts are generated when component dominance changes (bull>bear or bear>bull), signaling directional shifts.
Boundary interaction monitoring tracks crossovers above/below impulse threshold for extreme momentum identification.
Visual markers ( X ) are positioned using mathematical placement algorithms for clear signal identification.
The indicator also features a comprehensive alert system with notifications for:
Bullish potential reversals
Bearish potential reversals
Trend flip signals
Momentum boundary crossings
*Alerts can be customized and delivered through TradingView's notification system, making it easy to stay informed of important momentum developments even when away from the charts.
4. Conditional Bar Coloring
The indicator provides optional price bar coloring based on momentum analysis:
Bars are colored based on dominant momentum component (bullish/bearish).
Reversal conditions are highlighted with specialized coloring (default orange).
Color transparency adjusts based on momentum strength for immediate visual feedback.
Bar coloring can be toggled on/off to suit different chart aesthetics and personal preferences.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
→ Component Analysis and Interpretation: The indicator visualizes momentum direction and strength through separate components, allowing traders to immediately identify dominant market forces. This helps in assessing potential for continuation or reversal.
→ Signal Generation Strategies: The indicator generates potential trading signals based on component crossovers, boundary violations, and momentum exhaustion. Users can focus on reversal signals at statistical extremes or trend-following signals during component dominance.
→ Multi-Component Assessment: Through its bi-directional approach, the indicator enables users to understand competing forces within the same timeframe. This helps in identifying momentum equilibrium and potential turning points.
🟢 Pro Tips
Adjust RSI/CCI ratio based on market conditions:
→ High ratios (70-100) for mean-reverting markets and longer timeframes
→ Low ratios (0-30) for trending markets and shorter timeframes
→ Default 50/50 for balanced momentum assessment across market types
Fine-tune impulse boundary based on volatility:
→ Lower boundary lengths (20-30) for more frequent reversal signals
→ Higher lengths (40-60) for only major momentum extremes
→ Adjust standard deviation multiplier (2.0-4.0) based on market volatility
Look for confluence between components:
→ Component divergence as early reversal warning
→ Simultaneous extreme readings for high-probability setups
→ Component correlation with price for confirmation
Use for multiple trading approaches:
→ Reversal trading at component extremes near impulse boundary
→ Trend following when components show clear dominance
→ Early momentum shift detection with gradient fading patterns
→ Position sizing based on component strength percentage
Combine with:
→ Support/resistance analysis for strategic entry and exit points
→ Volume indicators for momentum validation
→ Multiple timeframe analysis for broader market context
→ Price action patterns for confirmation of reversal signals
Trend Classifier [ChartPrime]Trend Classifier
This is a multi-level trend classification tool that detects bullish, bearish, and ranging conditions using an adaptive smoothing method. It highlights trend strength through color-coded candles and layered bands, making it easy to interpret market momentum visually.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Classifies trend strength using 3 bullish and 3 bearish levels relative to an adaptive trend line.
Neutral (range) zones are marked when price stays between key bands, often signaling low volatility or consolidation.
Automatically filters band visibility based on current trend direction:
In uptrends, only levels below the price are displayed.
In downtrends, only levels above the price are shown.
Color-coded candles:
Aqua candles for bullish conditions.
Red candles for bearish conditions.
Orange candles during neutral or ranging conditions.
Includes a trend direction change marker (diamond), plotted when a shift in trend is detected.
Plots a central smoothed trend line to anchor the trend bands dynamically.
Displays a trend strength dashboard in the top-right corner with real-time bull and bear scores (0 to 3).
Labels with arrows (▲/▼) show current trend direction and strength on the chart.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Use bull and bear levels (1–3) to assess the momentum of the current trend.
When bull = 0 and bear = 0 , market is considered ranging or consolidating – consider fading or waiting for breakout confirmation.
Trend bands can be used as dynamic support/resistance during trending phases.
Monitor the trend change diamonds to spot potential early reversals.
Combine with volume or oscillator tools for confirmation of strength shifts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Trend Classifier helps traders stay aligned with the dominant trend while visually breaking down market momentum into levels. Its clean color-coded design and strength dashboard make it ideal for both trend following and range trading strategies.
Directional Movement Index (DMI) + AlertsThis is a Study with associated visual indicators and Bullish/Bearish Alerts for Directional Movement (DMI). It consists of an Average Directional Index (ADX), Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI).
Published by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 for use with currencies and commodities which are typically more volatile than stocks and have stronger trends.
Development Notes
---------------------------
This indicator, and most of the descriptions below, were derived largely from the TradingView reference manual. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are more than welcome, as well are recommended Input settings and best practices for use.
tradingview.com/chart/?solution=43000502250
Strategy Description
---------------------------
ADX defines whether or not there is a trend present; +DI and -DI compliment the ADX by taking direction into account. An ADX above 25 indicates a strong trend, and a Bullish alert is subsequently triggered when +DI is above -DI and a Bearish alert when -DI is above +DI.
Note that the Bullish or Bearish crossover alert will only trigger if ADX is simultaneously above 25 during the crossover event. If ADX later rises to 25 and +DI is still greater than -DI, or -DI greater than +DI, then a delayed alert will not trigger by design.
Basic Use
---------------------------
Acceptable DMI values are up to the trader's interpretation and may change depending on the financial instrument being examined. Recommend not changing any default values without being first familiar with their purpose and impact on the indicator at large.
Confidence in price action and trend is higher when two or more indicators are in agreement -- therefore we recommend not using this indicator by itself to determine entry or exit trade opportunities.
Recommend also choosing 'Once Per Bar Close' when creating alerts.
Inputs
---------------------------
ADX Smoothing - the time period to be used in calculating the ADX which has a smoothing component (14 is the Default).
DI Length - the time period to be used in calculating the DI (14 is the Default).
Key Level - any trade with the ADX above the key level is a strong indicator that it is trending (23 to 25 is the suggested setting).
Sensitivity - an incremental variable to test whether the past n candles are in the same bullish or bearish state before triggering a delayed crossover alert (3 is the Default). Filter out some noise and reduces active alerts.
Show ADX Option - two visual styles are provided for user preference, a visible ADX line or a background overlay (green or red when ADX is above the key level, for bullish or bearish, and gray when below).
Color Candles - an option to transpose the bullish and bearish crossovers to the main candle bars. Can be turned off in the Style Tab by deselecting 'Bar Colors'. Dark blue is bullish, dark purple is bearish, and the black inner color is neutral. Note that the outer red and green border will still be distinguished by whether each individual candle is bearish or bullish during the specified timeframe.
Indicator Visuals
---------------------------
Bullish or Bearish plot based on DMI strategy (ADX and +/-DI values).
Visual cues are intended to improve analysis and decrease interpretation time during trading, as well as to aid in understanding the purpose of this study and how its inclusion can benefit a comprehensive trading strategy.
Trend Strength
---------------------------
To analyze trend strength, the focus should be on the ADX line and not the +DI or -DI lines. An ADX reading above 25 indicates a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicates a weak or non-existent trend. A reading between those two values would be considered indeterminable. Though what is truly a strong trend or a weak trend depends on the financial instrument being examined; historical analysis can assist in determining appropriate values.
Bullish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. +DI cross above -DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's low (any +DI cross-backs below -DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Bearish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. -DI cross above +DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's high (any -DI cross-backs below +DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Disclaimer
---------------------------
This post and the script are not intended to provide any financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
No known repainting.
Version 1.1
-------------------------
- Added multi-timeframe resolution using PineCoders secure security function to eliminate repainting.
- Cleaned up option for selecting ADX view; and added a colored line as a choice, based on same bullish, bearish, or neutral colors as the background.
- Added exit crossover indicator to aid in an overall strategy development. This ability pairs better with my CHOP Zone Entry Strategy which relies on DMI Exits. Note that exit conditions don't employ the sensitivity variable. Green labels are for Bullish exits and red are for Bearish.
-- Exit condition is triggered if in an active Bullish or Bearish position and ADX drops below 25, Or if either the -DI crosses above +DI (for previously Bullish) or +DI crosses above -DI (for previously Bearish).
- Added reverse position determination. Triggers when a Bullish entry occurs on the same candle as a Bearish exit, or vice versa. Green labels are for Bullish reverses and red are for Bearish.
- Added selectable option to choose visible labels -- Bearish, Bullish, Both, Exits, Reverses, or All.
-- Note that a reverse label will only show if the opposing entry and exit labels are set to show, otherwise the reverse will revert to the appropriate entry or exit on the chart.
- Added alerts to account for new conditions.
-- Note that alerts for crossovers, exits, and reverses will only be triggered if the associated labels are selected to be shown (i.e., what you choose to see on the chart is what you will be alerted to).
Version 1.2
-------------------------
- Changed exit condition to be decided on by whether ADX is below 25 and on a +/-DI crossover. Versus being either or. The previous version had too many false triggers. This variety can now show multiple Bullish or Bearish alerts before an Exit condition too. I'm tempted to simply make this condition based on ADX, and not DI … thoughts? See lines 138 and 139.
- Updated the Background view to have deeper shades of colors dependent upon the ADX trend strength.
- Added an Oscillator view for the ADX and momentum computations to color the histogram by trend. DI lines are hidden.
-- If ADX is Bullish, then the oscillator is colored light green in an uptrend and dark green in a downtrend; if Bearish, then its light red in an uptrend and dark redin a downtrend; if adx is below key level, then it is light gray in a downtrend and dark grey in the uptrend.
- Added option to Hide ADX in case only the Directional lines are desired. This could be useful if you would like to have the ADX oscillator in one panel and +/-DI crossovers in another.
- Added a Columnar view for the ADX. DI lines are hidden. This view is really simple and compact, with the trend strength still easily understood. Colors are the same as for the oscillator -- the deeper the shade of green or red, then the higher the ADX trend strength level.
- Added a Trend Strength label.
ADX Trend Strength Trade (Y/N) Setup Types
0 to 10 = Barely Breathing N N/A
10 to 20 = Weak Trend Y Range/Pre-Breakout
20 to 30 = Potentially Starting to Trend Y Early Stage Trend
30 to 50 = Strong Trend Y Ride the Wave
50 to 75 = Very Strong Trend N Exhaustion
75 to 100 = Extremely Strong Trend N N/A
Version 1.3
-------------------------
Updated to Pine Script v5 to resolve errors from the deprecated v4 version.
This is a reissue of a previously published script that was hidden due to a v4 compatibility issue.

Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.
Alerts
Set alerts for:
• “Bullish FVG Detected”/“Bearish FVG Detected”: New FVGs in selected windows.
• “Bullish Signal”/“Bearish Signal”: iFVG retest confirmations.
Settings Description
• Show Last (1–100, default: 5): Number of recent iFVGs to display. Lower values reduce clutter.
• Show only 1st presented FVG : Limits FVGs to the first in 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST sessions (overrides time window checkboxes).
• Time Window Checkboxes: Enable/disable FVG detection in 10-minute windows (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.). All enabled by default.
• Signal Preference: “Close” (default) or “Wick” for iFVG retest signals.
• Use ATR Filter: Enables ATR-based size filtering (default: true).
• ATR Multiplier (0–∞, default: 0.25): Sets FVG size threshold (higher values = larger gaps).
• Remove Mitigated FVGs: Removes filled FVGs/iFVGs (default: true).
• Show FVG Labels: Displays “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels (default: true).
• Timezone Offset (-12 to 12, default: -5): Aligns time windows with EST.
• Colors: Customize bullish (green), bearish (red), and midline (gray) colors.
Why Use This Indicator?
This indicator empowers ICT traders with a tool that goes beyond generic FVG detection, offering precise, time-filtered gaps and inversion tracking aligned with institutional trading principles. By focusing on ICT’s macro timeframes, session-specific imbalances, and customizable signal logic, it provides a clear edge for scalping, swing trading, or reversal setups in high-liquidity markets.
C&B Auto MK5C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear
Overview
The C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish market conditions across various timeframes. It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, bull/bear signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping in trending or volatile markets.
What It Does
This indicator generates bull and bear signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, a 50/200 EMA trend filter, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to market volatility by adjusting EMA lengths and RSI thresholds. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, with candlestick coloring in neutral conditions. Market condition labels (current and historical) provide real-time trend and volatility context, displayed above the chart.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder triggers potential bull/bear signals. EMA lengths adjust based on volatility (e.g., 10/20 for volatile markets, 5/10 for non-volatile).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within volatility-adjusted bull/bear thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: An optional filter restricts bull signals to bullish trends (50 EMA > 200 EMA) and bear signals to bearish trends (50 EMA < 200 EMA).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined UTC time window (default 9:00–15:00), aligning with active trading sessions.
Market Condition Labels: Labels above the chart display the current trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and optionally volatility (e.g., “Bullish Volatile”). Up to two historical labels persist for a user-defined number of bars (default 5) to show recent trend changes.
Visual Aids: Bull signals appear as green triangles/labels below the bar, bear signals as red triangles/labels above. Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It

This indicator is designed for traders seeking a customizable, trend-following tool that adapts to volatility and provides clear visual cues with robust filtering for bullish and bearish market conditions.
LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)User Guide: LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)
Overview
The "LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)" script is a TradingView indicator that identifies and plots "virgin levels" across multiple timeframes (15-minute, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly). Virgin levels are price levels drawn at key reversal points based on candlestick patterns—specifically, the high or low of a candle preceding a bullish-to-bearish or bearish-to-bullish transition. These levels remain active ("virgin") until the price crosses them, at which point they are removed, and an alert can be triggered.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support: Plots virgin levels on 15-minute, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.
Customizable Display: Enable/disable specific timeframes and customize line colors and width.
Alerts: Triggers alerts when the price crosses a virgin level on any enabled timeframe.
Version Tracking: Displays the script version on the chart for easy reference (current version: 1.1.0).
How It Works
Level Detection:
On each timeframe, the script detects candlestick pattern reversals:
Bullish-to-bearish: A bullish candle (close > open) followed by a bearish candle (close < open). A level is drawn at the high of the previous (bullish) candle.
Bearish-to-bullish: A bearish candle followed by a bullish candle. A level is drawn at the low of the previous (bearish) candle.
Levels are drawn as horizontal lines extending to the right, with a label showing the price.
Virgin Status:
A level remains "virgin" until the price closes across it on a new bar for that timeframe (e.g., a new 15-minute bar for 15m levels).
Once crossed, the level is removed from the chart.
Alerting:
When a virgin level is crossed, an alert is triggered for the corresponding timeframe (if enabled).
Setup Instructions
Add the Script to TradingView:
Open TradingView and go to the Pine Editor (bottom panel).
Copy and paste the script code into the editor.
Click "Add to Chart" to apply it to your active chart.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection:
Toggle which timeframes to display levels for (default: all enabled):
Show Daily Levels
Show 4H Levels
Show 15M Levels
Show Weekly Levels
Show Monthly Levels
Disabling a timeframe clears its levels from the chart.
Line Settings:
Adjust the line width (default: 1).
Customize colors for each timeframe (default colors):
Daily: White
4H: Yellow
15M: Green
Weekly: Blue
Monthly: Red
Max Lines: Set the maximum number of lines to draw (default: 500, TradingView’s limit).
Verify Version:
The script version (e.g., "Version: 1.1.0") is displayed at the top of the chart for reference.
Using the Alerting Feature
The script includes the ability to set alerts when virgin levels are crossed, with separate alerts for each timeframe. Here’s how to set them up:
Enable Desired Timeframes:
Ensure the timeframe(s) you want alerts for are enabled in the settings (e.g., "Show 15M Levels").
Create an Alert:
Right-click on the chart and select "Create Alert" (or use the bell icon in TradingView).
In the alert dialog:
Condition: Select the script ("LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)").
Condition Dropdown: Choose the specific alert condition for the timeframe you want to monitor:
"15m Virgin Line Crossed"
"4h Virgin Line Crossed"
"Daily Virgin Line Crossed"
"Weekly Virgin Line Crossed"
"Monthly Virgin Line Crossed"
Message: The default message (e.g., "A virgin line on the 15m timeframe has been crossed.") will be sent, but you can customize it if needed.
Notifications: Choose your preferred notification method (e.g., email, SMS, popup, webhook).
Frequency: Set to "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid multiple triggers within the same bar.
Click "Create" to activate the alert.
Repeat for Other Timeframes:
You can create separate alerts for each timeframe by repeating the process and selecting the appropriate condition.
Behavior:
Alerts trigger when the price closes across a virgin level on a new bar for that timeframe (e.g., a new 15-minute bar for 15m levels).
If multiple levels are crossed on the same bar, only one alert per timeframe will fire.
Example Use Case
Scenario: You’re trading SUIUSDT on a 15-minute chart and want alerts for 15-minute and 4-hour virgin level crossings.
Setup:
Enable "Show 15M Levels" and "Show 4H Levels" in the script settings.
Create two alerts:
One with the condition "15m Virgin Line Crossed".
Another with the condition "4h Virgin Line Crossed".
Configure notifications (e.g., email or popup).
Result: When the price crosses a 15m virgin level (e.g., at 3.3901 USD), you’ll receive an alert. Similarly, a 4h level crossing will trigger its own alert.
Notes
Chart Timeframe: The script works on any chart timeframe because it uses request.security to fetch data for higher timeframes (e.g., 15m levels will work even on a 1m chart).
Line Limit: The script caps at 500 lines total (TradingView’s limit). Older levels may be overwritten if this limit is reached.
Version Updates: Check the version number on the chart and the changelog in the script comments for updates.
Troubleshooting
No Levels Visible: Ensure the desired timeframes are enabled and that price action has triggered reversal patterns.
Alerts Not Firing: Verify that alerts are set to "Once Per Bar Close" and that the timeframe is enabled in the script settings.
Too Many Lines: Adjust the "Max number of lines to draw" setting if levels are being overwritten.
This script provides a powerful tool for traders to identify key reversal levels across multiple timeframes, with the added benefit of customizable alerts to stay informed of significant price movements.
Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence – Quant Master Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence – Quant Master
Introducing the Dskyz (DAFE) Aurora Divergence – Quant Master , a strategy that’s your secret weapon for mastering futures markets like MNQ, NQ, MES, and ES. Born from the legendary Aurora Divergence indicator, this fully automated system transforms raw divergence signals into a quant-grade trading machine, blending precision, risk management, and cyberpunk DAFE visuals that make your charts glow like a neon skyline. Crafted with care and driven by community passion, this strategy stands out in a sea of generic scripts, offering traders a unique edge to outsmart institutional traps and navigate volatile markets.
The Aurora Divergence indicator was a cult favorite for spotting price-OBV divergences with its aqua and fuchsia orbs, but traders craved a system to act on those signals with discipline and automation. This strategy delivers, layering advanced filters (z-score, ATR, multi-timeframe, session), dynamic risk controls (kill switches, adaptive stops/TPs), and a real-time dashboard to turn insights into profits. Whether you’re a newbie dipping into futures or a pro hunting reversals, this strat’s got your back with a beginner guide, alerts, and visuals that make trading feel like a sci-fi mission. Let’s dive into every detail and see why this original DAFE creation is a must-have.
Why Traders Need This Strategy
Futures markets are a battlefield—fast-paced, volatile, and riddled with institutional games that can wipe out undisciplined traders. From the April 28, 2025 NQ 1k-point drop to sneaky ES slippage, the stakes are high. Meanwhile, platforms are flooded with unoriginal, low-effort scripts that promise the moon but deliver noise. The Aurora Divergence – Quant Master rises above, offering:
Unmatched Originality: A bespoke system built from the ground up, with custom divergence logic, DAFE visuals, and quant filters that set it apart from copycat clutter.
Automation with Precision: Executes trades on divergence signals, eliminating emotional slip-ups and ensuring consistency, even in chaotic sessions.
Quant-Grade Filters: Z-score, ATR, multi-timeframe, and session checks filter out noise, targeting high-probability reversals.
Robust Risk Management: Daily loss and rolling drawdown kill switches, plus ATR-based stops/TPs, protect your capital like a fortress.
Stunning DAFE Visuals: Aqua/fuchsia orbs, aurora bands, and a glowing dashboard make signals intuitive and charts a work of art.
Community-Driven: Evolved from trader feedback, this strat’s a labor of love, not a recycled knockoff.
Traders need this because it’s a complete, original system that blends accessibility, sophistication, and style. It’s your edge to trade smarter, not harder, in a market full of traps and imitators.
1. Divergence Detection (Core Signal Logic)
The strategy’s core is its ability to detect bullish and bearish divergences between price and On-Balance Volume (OBV), pinpointing reversals with surgical accuracy.
How It Works:
Price Slope: Uses linear regression over a lookback (default: 9 bars) to measure price momentum (priceSlope).
OBV Slope: OBV tracks volume flow (+volume if price rises, -volume if falls), with its slope calculated similarly (obvSlope).
Bullish Divergence: Price slope negative (falling), OBV slope positive (rising), and price above 50-bar SMA (trend_ma).
Bearish Divergence: Price slope positive (rising), OBV slope negative (falling), and price below 50-bar SMA.
Smoothing: Requires two consecutive divergence bars (bullDiv2, bearDiv2) to confirm signals, reducing false positives.
Strength: Divergence intensity (divStrength = |priceSlope * obvSlope| * sensitivity) is normalized (0–1, divStrengthNorm) for visuals.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Divergences catch hidden momentum shifts, often exploited by institutions, giving you an edge on reversals.
- The 50-bar SMA filter aligns signals with the broader trend, avoiding choppy markets.
- Adjustable lookback (min: 3) and sensitivity (default: 1.0) let you tune for different instruments or timeframes.
2. Filters for Precision
Four advanced filters ensure signals are high-probability and market-aligned, cutting through the noise of volatile futures.
Z-Score Filter:
Logic: Calculates z-score ((close - SMA) / stdev) over a lookback (default: 50 bars). Blocks entries if |z-score| > threshold (default: 1.5) unless disabled (useZFilter = false).
Impact: Avoids trades during extreme price moves (e.g., blow-off tops), keeping you in statistically safe zones.
ATR Percentile Volatility Filter:
Logic: Tracks 14-bar ATR in a 100-bar window (default). Requires current ATR > 80th percentile (percATR) to trade (tradeOk).
Impact: Ensures sufficient volatility for meaningful moves, filtering out low-volume chop.
Multi-Timeframe (HTF) Trend Filter:
Logic: Uses a 50-bar SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 60min). Longs require price > HTF MA (bullTrendOK), shorts < HTF MA (bearTrendOK).
Impact: Aligns trades with the bigger trend, reducing counter-trend losses.
US Session Filter:
Logic: Restricts trading to 9:30am–4:00pm ET (default: enabled, useSession = true) using America/New_York timezone.
Impact: Focuses on high-liquidity hours, avoiding overnight spreads and erratic moves.
Evolution:
- These filters create a robust signal pipeline, ensuring trades are timed for optimal conditions.
- Customizable inputs (e.g., zThreshold, atrPercentile) let traders adapt to their style without compromising quality.
3. Risk Management
The strategy’s risk controls are a masterclass in balancing aggression and safety, protecting capital in volatile markets.
Daily Loss Kill Switch:
Logic: Tracks daily loss (dayStartEquity - strategy.equity). Halts trading if loss ≥ $300 (default) and enabled (killSwitch = true, killSwitchActive).
Impact: Caps daily downside, crucial during events like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
Rolling Drawdown Kill Switch:
Logic: Monitors drawdown (rollingPeak - strategy.equity) over 100 bars (default). Stops trading if > $1000 (rollingKill).
Impact: Prevents prolonged losing streaks, preserving capital for better setups.
Dynamic Stop-Loss and Take-Profit:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * multiplier (default: 1.0x, stopDist). TPs = entry ± ATR * 1.5x (profitDist). Longs: stop below, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Adapts to volatility, keeping stops tight but realistic, with TPs targeting 1.5:1 reward/risk.
Max Bars in Trade:
Logic: Closes trades after 8 bars (default) if not already exited.
Impact: Frees capital from stagnant trades, maintaining efficiency.
Kill Switch Buffer Dashboard:
Logic: Shows smallest buffer ($300 - daily loss or $1000 - rolling DD). Displays 0 (red) if kill switch active, else buffer (green).
Impact: Real-time risk visibility, letting traders adjust dynamically.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Kill switches and ATR-based exits create a safety net, rare in generic scripts.
- Customizable risk inputs (maxDailyLoss, dynamicStopMult) suit different account sizes.
- Buffer metric empowers disciplined trading, a DAFE signature.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are precise, filtered, and adaptive, ensuring trades are deliberate and profitable.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: bullDiv2, cooldown passed (canSignal), ATR filter passed (tradeOk), in US session (inSession), no kill switches (not killSwitchActive, not rollingKill), z-score OK (zOk), HTF trend bullish (bullTrendOK), no existing long (lastDirection != 1, position_size <= 0). Closes shorts first.
Short Entry: Same, but for bearDiv2, bearTrendOK, no long (lastDirection != -1, position_size >= 0). Closes longs first.
Adaptive Cooldown: Default 2 bars (cooldownBars). Doubles (up to 10) after a losing trade, resets after wins (dynamicCooldown).
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Set per trade (ATR-based). Exits on stop/TP hits.
Other Exits: Closes if maxBarsInTrade reached, ATR filter fails, or kill switch activates.
Position Management: Ensures no conflicting positions, closing opposites before new entries.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Multi-filtered entries minimize false signals, a stark contrast to basic scripts.
- Adaptive cooldown prevents overtrading, especially after losses.
- Clean position handling ensures smooth execution, even in fast markets.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are a DAFE hallmark, blending function with clean flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Aurora Bands:
Display: Bands around price during divergences (bullish: below low, bearish: above high), sized by ATR * bandwidth (default: 0.5).
Colors: Aqua (bullish), fuchsia (bearish), with transparency tied to divStrengthNorm.
Purpose: Highlights divergence zones with a glowing, futuristic vibe.
Divergence Orbs:
Display: Large/small circles (aqua below for bullish, fuchsia above for bearish) when bullDiv2/bearDiv2 and canSignal. Labels show strength (0–1).
Purpose: Pinpoints entries with eye-catching clarity.
Gradient Background:
Display: Green (bullish), red (bearish), or gray (neutral), 90–95% transparent.
Purpose: Sets the market mood without clutter.
Strategy Plots:
- Stop/TP Lines: Red (stops), green (TPs) for active trades.
- HTF MA: Yellow line for trend context.
- Z-Score: Blue step-line (if enabled).
- Kill Switch Warning: Red background flash when active.
What Makes This Next-Level?:
- Visuals make complex signals (divergences, filters) instantly clear, even for beginners.
- DAFE’s unique aesthetic (orbs, bands) sets it apart from generic scripts, reinforcing originality.
- Functional plots (stops, TPs) enhance trade management.
6. Metrics Dashboard
The top-right dashboard (2x8 table) is your command center, delivering real-time insights.
Metrics:
Daily Loss ($): Current loss vs. day’s start, red if > $300.
Rolling DD ($): Drawdown vs. 100-bar peak, red if > $1000.
ATR Threshold: Current percATR, green if ATR exceeds, red if not.
Z-Score: Current value, green if within threshold, red if not.
Signal: “Bullish Div” (aqua), “Bearish Div” (fuchsia), or “None” (gray).
Action: “Consider Buying”/“Consider Selling” (signal color) or “Wait” (gray).
Kill Switch Buffer ($): Smallest buffer to kill switch, green if > 0, red if 0.
Why This Is Important?:
- Consolidates critical data, making decisions effortless.
- Color-coded metrics guide beginners (e.g., green action = go).
- Buffer metric adds transparency, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.

MTF Analysis Panel [Invesmate]MTF Analysis Panel
This indicator provides a compact Multi-Timeframe (MTF) view of trend and momentum conditions directly on the chart. It combines EMA trend checks, RSI momentum checks, and optional Relative Strength analysis to offer an intuitive overview of market structure across intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.
Trend and Momentum Analysis
The script uses two primary methods for assessing the market:
Trend Detection: Based on price relation to a user-selected EMA for each timeframe.
Momentum Detection: Based on whether RSI is above or below 50 for each timeframe.
Users can independently toggle these modules through inputs to customize the panel for different analysis needs.
Trend and momentum are calculated separately to avoid bias, helping traders capture the real state of the market across multiple timeframes.
Relative Strength (Optional)
If enabled, when either Weekly or Monthly timeframes are selected, the panel will display Relative Strength (RS ) data.
RS measures the stock's performance relative to a benchmark symbol (like NSE:NIFTY).
This value shows the percent outperformance or underperformance over a user-defined period (default 55 days), allowing deeper market strength analysis.
Table and Display Logic
The indicator draws a neat panel on the chart using TradingView’s table functionality.
Each selected timeframe (15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M) will display:
Trend (EMA): Green for bullish trend (Price > EMA), Red for bearish trend (Price < EMA), Gray if neutral or not applicable.
Momentum (RSI): Green if RSI > 50, Red if RSI < 50, Gray if neutral.
Symbols for trend and momentum can be customized between:
Emoji mode (e.g., 🟢, 🔴, 🟦, 🟥)
Text mode (e.g., UP, DOWN, NEUTRAL)
The panel is customizable for position (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) to fit user preference.
Color Codes
Strong Bullish: All selected timeframes are trending up and momentum is rising — shown with a light green background.
Strong Bearish: All selected timeframes are trending down and momentum is falling — shown with a light red background.
Mixed: Any mixed state (some up, some down) — shown with a neutral gray background.
This helps traders instantly recognize overall market sentiment without manually checking individual timeframes.
Summary Labels
At the bottom of the panel, two powerful summaries are displayed:
Trend Summary: Overall trend aggregation across selected timeframes ("STRONG BULLISH", "STRONG BEARISH", or "MIXED").
Momentum Summary: Overall momentum aggregation ("MOMENTUM UP", "MOMENTUM DOWN", or "MOMENTUM MIXED").
When Relative Strength is available (Weekly or Monthly enabled), it is also shown separately at the bottom, providing a complete strength-versus-benchmark view.
Input Controls
Enable EMA Trend Check: Toggle EMA-based trend detection.
Enable RSI Momentum Check: Toggle RSI-based momentum detection.
Timeframes to Display: 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M can be independently turned on or off.
EMA Length per Timeframe: Customize EMA lengths for different timeframes.
RSI Length: Set RSI calculation period.
Comparative Symbol: Select the benchmark symbol for Relative Strength calculations.
RS Period: Choose the lookback period for Relative Strength.
Emoji Display Toggle: Switch between emoji-based or text-based display styles.
Table Location: Choose where the analysis panel appears on the chart.
Special Features
Realtime Updating: The panel updates dynamically as bars close, maintaining real-time relevance.
Maximum Label Control : Designed to respect TradingView's maximum label limits to avoid runtime errors.
Optimized for Performance: Uses conditional requests and security calls efficiently, minimizing script execution load.
Known Limitations
Request.security limitations: Relative Strength is only calculated on Daily data for stability; lower timeframe RS is not implemented.
TradingView Table Size: On some screen sizes or with many timeframes selected, table may overlap candles. Adjust panel location accordingly.
Fractal Time GridOverview
The Fractal Time Grid is a Pine-Script v5 TradingView indicator designed to automate session-based entries, stops, and targets. It overlays on your chart, shading trading “quarters” of any chosen timezone, highlighting bullish or bearish bias zones, and marking up to N entries per quarter with on-chart signals. Optional SL/TP rays and built-in alerts make it a one-stop tool for disciplined session trading.

Timeframe Titans: Market Structure & MTF Order Blocks🟩 OVERVIEW
A combined market structure and order block indicator. Displays fractals, zigzags, Break Of Structure and Change Of Character lines. Shows order blocks on the chart and a higher timeframe.
Unique features include:
• The structure rules require counter fractals for BOS. This enables us to use more responsive fractal settings without creating excessive noise.
• Structure is strict. After the initial CHoCH there is always one and only one active CHoCH line.
• Order blocks can be filtered by market structure.
• Order blocks are based entirely on candle patterns (which appear to be unique among all the indicators we tested) instead of using pivots or other configurable calculations.
• Order blocks have separate mitigation levels, not merely the edge of the block, and being partially mitigated is a separate logical state.
🟩 WHAT IS MARKET STRUCTURE?
There are many ways to conceptualise and code market structure — the prevailing trend derived from important price levels. All of them start with identifying highs and lows in price, then use breaks of those levels to assign a trend.
This indicator displays the following market structure features:
• Williams Fractals to derive high and low pivots.
• Zigzag lines, which connect highs and lows.
• Break of Structure (BOS) lines, which are formed from the highest high in an *uptrend* or the lowest low in a *downtrend*. A break of a BOS line signals trend continuation.
• Change of Character (CHoCH) lines, which are formed from the highest high in a *downtrend* or the lowest low in an *uptrend*. A break of a CHoCH line signals trend reversal.
• Market structure bias, which is derived from the break of a CHoCH line. If a CHoCH line is broken to the upside, the trend is bullish, and if to the downside, bearish.
(For more details of the market structure features of this indicator, see the FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR section.)
This definition of market structure implies that:
• There can only ever be one single active BOS line.
• There can only ever be one single active CHoCH line.
• A break of a BOS line creates a new CHoCH line.
• A break of a CHoCH line creates a new bias, a new BOS line, and a new CHoCH line.
• Before we can create a BOS, we need to know the bias, for which we need the CHoCH, for which we need BOS... just one of the chicken-vs-egg difficulties of coding market structure.
To understand how this indicator differs from other market structure indicators, see the COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS section.
🟩 WHAT ARE ORDER BLOCKS?
Order blocks are candle patterns that appear at highs and lows. The theory is that these areas are where many orders were filled — too many for the order book, causing an imbalance in buyers and sellers. As such, these areas can form support or resistance levels when price returns to them.
This indicator displays the following features related to order blocks:
• Imbalances, also called Fair Value Gaps.
• Order blocks of two different types (Imbalance Block and Standard Order Blocks)
(For more details of the order block features of this indicator, see the FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR section.)
There are different patterns that can define order blocks, but the common element is that price should move vigorously away from the area after the pattern forms.
To understand how this indicator differs from other order block indicators, see the COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS section.
🟩 FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR
Pivots
Shows Williams high and low fractals, with a configurable lookback. The pivots are always calculated, since they are the building block of all other market structure features. The pivot shape display can be turned on or off, and the display customised.
Zigzag
Draws lines between the highs and lows. The lines can be shown or hidden, and the colour and thickness configured.
Break of Structure
BOS lines are always calculated, but can be shown or hidden. The appearance can be customised. BOS lines are drawn from the candle that has the high or low that defines their level. They always extend until they are broken or the bias changes. The BOS lines have an optional, configurable label. When a BOS line is broken, an optional, configurable label is drawn on that bar.
Change of Character
CHoCH lines can be shown, hidden, and customised. CHoCH lines always extend until they are broken or a new CHoCH line is formed. CHoCH lines have optional labels. A different, customisable label is drawn when a CHoCH line is broken.
Market structure bias
Market structure bias is derived from the break of a CHoCH line. If a CHoCH line is broken to the upside, the trend is bullish, and if to the downside, bearish. The background is shaded a configurable colour based on the trend.
Imbalances
Imbalances are drawn in configurable colours. When they are mitigated, you can choose to change the colour, delete them, or leave them.
Order blocks
Two types of imbalance order blocks are displayed: Standard Order Blocks and Imbalance Blocks. They can be shown or hidden, and customised, independently.
Each order block has a mitigation line with configurable colours and style. If price exceeds the mitigation line, the order block is mitigated and is considered inactive.
The order blocks, or their labels, can be deleted when the order block is mitigated. If not deleted, their colour is changed and they no longer extend with each new bar.
Order blocks on the chart timeframe can be shown conditionally within the context of the market structure: you can choose to show:
• Pro-trend order blocks (bearish order blocks that were created in bearish market structure and vice-versa).
• Counter-trend order blocks (bearish order blocks that were created in bullish market structure and vice-versa).
• All order blocks.
Higher timeframe
Imbalances and order blocks can be independently shown and customised on a single higher timeframe. The HTF functions of this indicator do not repaint because they use confirmed data.
You can choose a custom, fixed higher timeframe, or an "Auto" mode where the script automatically chooses the higher timeframe based on the chart timeframe.
Script information messages
An optional table shows information about the script, including configuration problems, such as if a custom HTF is not actually higher than the chart timeframe.
🟩 HOW TO USE
There are very many ways to use market structure and order blocks in trading and we recommend you study extensively, and if possible get a trusted mentor.
Here is a random example we found on the recent GBPUSD chart. In the screenshot below, the left chart is at 30m and the right is at 5m. We've toggled various settings to make the chart clearer for demonstration purposes.
1 — We get a CHoCH break on the higher timeframe. So our bias (if we are trying to trade with the trend) is bearish. Now we look for some other confluence.
2 — Price revisits the top of the range and mitigates an imbalance block. It wicks the CHoCH (resetting it) but does not break it on close. The bearish market structure is thus preserved. For these reasons, we're thinking about a short, and we switch to the 5m chart on the right to find an entry. We've chosen a Custom HTF of 30m to match the left chart and we can see the mitigated HTF order block, marked "30m IB". We can see when price moves definitively out of the order block area to the downside.
3 — A bearish order block is formed and very quickly price comes back into it. We could enter a short here with a stop above the closest relevant fractal.
4 — Another bearish order block forms and price retests it. Another entry. Two previous 5m bullish order blocks at the bottom of the chart act as support. We could potentially close our short here.
5 — Another test of the same block, which was not mitigated the first time. Another potential short entry. As it happens, price makes a massive run lower here, such that we could trail our stop down one ATR above every single high fractal (marked out using manual rays and a public ATR indicator) for a good R:R, but that's not the point.
This is a made-up, retrofitted example with a fairly generic methodology. It's just to show how some of the features of this indicator could be used in trading:
• Market structure can give a bias. It can also mark interesting levels.
• Using multiple timeframes, while more complex, can level up your trading experience.
• Price trading back into order blocks can be a good R:R entry.
Your actual way of trading, your playbook of setups, your knowledge of your strengths and weakness as a trader, is your own.
🟩 LIMITATIONS
This indicator is intended for use on Forex markets, although order blocks and market structure do form on any reasonably liquid asset.
The HTF uses confirmed data, so you need to wait until the HTF bar is closed before the order block can form. Therefore it does not repaint, in the sense that people worry about repainting, of changing data in the past. We use the latest recommended method of fetching HTF data .
The market structure uses live chart data, so structure and order blocks that are created by conditions on an open realtime bar can appear and disappear as the current bar close changes. This is quite normal .
The Williams pivots are by definition only confirmed after a defined number of bars, and like everyone else we plot them offset into the past.
Similarly, we offset order blocks into the past so that they start on the candle that has the high or low that defines the order block, not the candle that created them. For HTF order blocks, we calculate the number of chart bars back assuming a 24-hour market, which gives accurate offsets only on Forex and other symbols that trade close to 24 hours each day.
🟩 COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS
There are a great number of market structure and order block indicators already published on TradingView. Since there are only a certain number of highs and lows on the chart from which to produce structure and order blocks, they all look somewhat similar. However, this indicator, written entirely from scratch without reference to the code of any other indicators, is unique and original in two kinds of ways: in patterns and in features.
PRECISE PATTERNS
We believe that edge in trading can be found in, amongst other things, precision in analysis. You can't truly trust your backtests if your system is not repeatable, and your system is repeatable only if its definitions are precise.
We trade with this indicator, and our students trade with it as well. Why did we spend months creating a new indicator instead of using one of the many existing ones, most of which are free and open source?
Because they are not quite how we wanted.
The indicator was created from our proprietary structure rules, which are based on the generally accepted understanding of market structure, with some specific tweaks.
To prepare this description (after the indicator is finished), we searched for "Market Structure", "CHoCH", and "SMC" and list below all popular (with over 3K boosts; excluding invite-only) indicators that show market structure with CHoCH (sometimes called MSS). We configured the settings to most closely match how our indicator works, added both indicators to the same chart, and looked for relevant differences.
The purpose of this section is not to try to say that this indicator is better than any other, but just that it is different. This difference is important for us and our students.
Indicator #1
As you can see, the indicator interpreted the first part of the chart as a downtrend, whereas ours interpreted it as an uptrend. The structure is completely different, because our Williams Fractal lookback is 2, and the minimum "Swing Points" value for Indicator #1 is 10. Although this indicator is deservedly popular, it isn't what we can use for the way we trade.
Indicator #2
Setting the "Zigzag Length" to 2 results in wildly different market structure, as shown below. For many fractals, this indicator does not place the zigzag at the highest high or lowest low, as ours does consistently. It does not highlight the trend in any way. It gives many Market Structure Breaks in a short period. Although it's again wildly popular, it doesn't match our way of encoding market structure.
Indicator #3
Again, setting the "Pivot lb" and "Pivot rb" inputs to 2 gives much too sensitive market structure. This is because this indicator does not require, as we do, a counter-fractal to form after a fractal in order to confirm a BOS. We believe that this rule gives less noisy structure while also being responsive. Most indicators attempt to compensate for this by having a much larger lookback period. While this does of course give fewer pivots and less noise, this is simply a different logic and gives different results. Note also that although this indicator correctly defines the first section of the chart as an uptrend, it does not draw a CHoCH line. As discussed above, our definition of market structure means that there should always be one and only one active CHoCH line, and we draw this at the earliest sensible opportunity.
Indicator #4
Again, the lack of any extra pivot confirmation logic means that this indicator creates different structure with the same lookback period. Also note the lack of initial CHoCH.
Indicator #5
The lowest lookback is 3, and so this indicator too gives very different structure.
Indicator #6
Of course, using a lookback of 2 gives different structure with this indicator too. For variety, here we show a lookback of 5, which is the lowest setting that returns significantly less noisy structure. You can see that the main CHoCH at the top of the chart is similar but not at the same place. Increasing the lookback does not ever result in a CHoCH at the same place, because the logic is simply different. When the lookback increases above 10, no CHoCH lines are drawn at the top at all.
Indicator #7
This indicator uses the highest/lowest price for the last 10 bars (fixed), along with some other bar conditions. You can see the resulting structure is quite different. Among other differences, it does not create a BOS at the top of the chart, even in an uptrend, and it does not create an opposing CHoCH when the existing CHoCH is broken.
Indicator #8
With "Custom" market structure and a length of 2, BOS and CHoCH lines are drawn by this indicator but in incongruous places.
Conclusion
Although we only illustrate the top few alternatives, we did check many, many others.
These market structure indicators may produce useful output, but their structure differs significantly from ours. We didn't even need to get into specific examples because the general approaches are so different. It is up to the user to decide which indicator, and which interpretation of market structure, best suits their needs.
ORDER BLOCKS
Continuing, we illustrate differences with the most popular order block indicators, trying to get them to match our order blocks. Note that some of these are also in the previous list as market structure indicators.
Order blocks are always formed at swings when price moves away with force, so they will be sort of the same across all the very many existing order block indicators. We are looking for precision and differentiation, as we did with market structure.
Indicator #1
This indicator does not have ability to display mitigated order blocks, only active ones. The order blocks do not match at all.
Indicator #2
With a period of 2, this indicator marks many of the same order blocks as ours. It doesn't extend the blocks, and doesn't mark them when mitigated. The logic for choosing the order block candle is also clearly different.
Indicator #3
Even with very sensitive settings, this indicator did not create as many order blocks as ours and they are quite different.
Indicator #4
Again you can see the logic for choosing candles and creating blocks is simply different. This indicator has inadequate protection against empty arrays, which causes runtime errors on charts with not much history (not a problem for Forex charts in general, but noticeable on the testing chart).
Indicator #5
We were unable to get the order blocks to extend with this indicator, although it should be possible. Anyway the blocks are wildly different.
Indicator #6
Even with the most sensitive settings, this indicator showed only one order block on our test chart.
Indicator #7
This indicator incorporates complex price action concepts. Nevertheless, the order blocks are very different indeed.
Indicator #8
This indicator forms quite different blocks to ours. It has several interesting settings including a choice of using the candle body or wick.
Indicator #9
We were not able to configure this indicator to produce the same order blocks as ours.
Indicator #10
On very sensitive settings, this indicator matches many of our order blocks, but at the same time many are different.
Conclusion
None of the indicators tested here (nor the many others we looked at previously) use the same logic as ours. The differences are so obvious that we don't have to call out individual blocks and analyse how they differ.
Fundamentally, other indicators seem to use variable precision for pivots in their order block detection calculations. Our order blocks are pure candle patterns with two different rulesets for Standard Order Blocks and Imbalance Order Blocks, and this logic does not change.
Note that our order blocks do not always automatically extend to the swing high or low, nor allow the user to choose the limit of the block, but use unique rules.
In summary, our indicator differs from other order block indicators in terms of fundamental detection logic, candle placement, boundary definition, mitigation levels, and logical states (see below).
UNIQUE COMBINATION OF FEATURES
In comparison to all other indicators we looked at, our indicator:
• Uses order blocks with three states: active, mitigated, and partially mitigated. Our mitigation lines for order blocks are rules-based. If price touches the mitigation line, the order block is considered fully mitigated. If price goes inside the order block but does not hit the mitigation line, it is only partially mitigated. These three states are visually distinguished.
• Has the most extensive visual customisation options of all those we looked at. We believe that being able to customise how you see indicator outputs is very important for reducing mental load while analysing and trading.
• Has a unique feature that combines market structure and order blocks, where the user can choose to show pro-trend order blocks (bullish blocks that are formed in bullish structure and vice-versa) or counter-trend blocks (bullish blocks that are formed in bearish structure and vice-versa).
• Approximates an initial trend bias very quickly, so we can start creatng BOS, CHoCH, etc.
• Requires a counter pivot to confirm a BOS line. This seemingly small logical step actually creates very different structure, as we saw in the comparison section.
• Uses a sophisticated array-based sorting mechanism to preserve the selected number of imbalances, use the rest of the TradingView box allowance for order blocks, and delete excess order block objects (not just drawings) in reverse historical order.
• Hides order block drawings if they are a configurable distance away from price. Magically redraws them if price moves closer.
• Includes an equivalent to the system "Calculated bars" setting for the high timeframe, to avoid unnecessary processing and improve performance.
🟩 CODING CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator consists of all original code written by @SimpleCryptoLife for Timeframe_Titans.
AI was used for the following purposes:
• Autocomplete
• Checking that bullish and bearish logic is parallel in a given function
• Querying the names and locations of variables hundreds of lines away when we forgot what they're called, like an expensive search-and-replace
• Help with debugging (it usually makes up elaborate and wrong ideas though)
It was not used to replace the coder's expertise and creativity, or to "vibe-code" some black-box functionality we didn't understand. We can recommend that you use AI the same way.

RSI Divergence Strategy - AliferCryptoStrategy Overview
The RSI Divergence Strategy is designed to identify potential reversals by detecting regular bullish and bearish divergences between price action and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It automatically enters positions when a divergence is confirmed and manages risk with configurable stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Key Features
Automatic Divergence Detection: Scans for RSI pivot lows/highs vs. price pivots using user-defined lookback windows and bar ranges.
Dual SL/TP Methods:
- Swing-based: Stops placed a configurable percentage beyond the most recent swing high/low.
- ATR-based: Stops placed at a multiple of Average True Range, with a separate risk/reward multiplier.
Long and Short Entries: Buys on bullish divergences; sells short on bearish divergences.
Fully Customizable: Input groups for RSI, divergence, swing, ATR, and general SL/TP settings.
Visual Plotting: Marks divergences on chart and plots stop-loss (red) and take-profit (green) lines for active trades.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for both bullish and bearish RSI divergences.
Detailed Logic
RSI Calculation: Computes RSI of chosen source over a specified period.
Pivot Detection:
- Identifies RSI pivot lows/highs by scanning a lookback window to the left and right.
- Uses ta.barssince to ensure pivots are separated by a minimum/maximum number of bars.
Divergence Confirmation:
- Bullish: Price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low.
- Bearish: Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high.
Entry:
- Opens a Long position when bullish divergence is true.
- Opens a Short position when bearish divergence is true.
Stop-Loss & Take-Profit:
- Swing Method: Computes the recent swing high/low then adjusts by a percentage margin.
- ATR Method: Uses the current ATR × multiplier applied to the entry price.
- Take-Profit: Calculated as entry price ± (risk × R/R ratio).
Exit Orders: Uses strategy.exit to place bracket orders (stop + limit) for both long and short positions.
Inputs and Configuration
RSI Settings: Length & price source for the RSI.
Divergence Settings: Pivot lookback parameters and valid bar ranges.
SL/TP Settings: Choice between Swing or ATR method.
Swing Settings: Swing lookback length, margin (%), and risk/reward ratio.
ATR Settings: ATR length, stop multiplier, and risk/reward ratio.
Usage Notes
Adjust the Pivot Lookback and Range values to suit the volatility and timeframe of your market.
Use higher ATR multipliers for wider stops in choppy conditions, or tighten swing margins in trending markets.
Backtest different R/R ratios to find the balance between win rate and reward.

PRO SMC Full Suite BY Mashrur“PRO SMC Full Suite BY Mashrur”
A Pine Script (v5) indicator for TradingView, focused on Smart Money Concepts (SMC). It overlays on price charts and provides visual tools for identifying key institutional trading behaviors.
🎯 Purpose
This script is designed to help traders analyze and trade using SMC principles by automatically detecting:
Order Blocks (OBs)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Breaks of Structure (BoS)
Liquidity Sweeps (Buy/Sell Side Liquidity Grabs)
Mitigation Entries
⚙️ Inputs / Settings
Show Fair Value Gaps: Toggle FVGs on/off
Higher Timeframe (HTF): Choose HTF for OB analysis
Use HTF OBs: Switch between current TF OBs and HTF OBs
Show Order Blocks: Toggle OBs on/off
Show OB Mitigation Entries: Toggle mitigation entry signals on/off
🧠 Core Logic Overview
🔹 1. Swing Points Detection
Identifies swing highs/lows using a 3-bar pattern (pivot-based structure).
🔹 2. Break of Structure (BoS)
A bullish BoS happens when price closes above the last swing high.
A bearish BoS occurs when price closes below the last swing low.
🔹 3. Order Block Detection
Upon BoS, the script marks the previous candle as the Order Block.
Uses either:
Current TF OBs (based on price action)
HTF OBs (based on candle body direction)
🔹 4. Mitigation Entry Logic
A mitigation occurs when price returns to the OB and reacts with confirmation:
Bullish: price dips into OB and closes above
Bearish: price wicks into OB and closes below
Plots entry markers for these mitigations.
🔹 5. Liquidity Sweeps
Detects equal highs/lows (liquidity zones)
Marks Buy SL when price dips below an equal low then closes above
Marks Sell SL when price breaks above an equal high then closes below
🔹 6. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVG Up: Gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (low > high )
FVG Down: Gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (high < low )
Plots highlighted boxes on these gaps
📊 Visual Elements
Boxes: For OB zones and FVGs
Shapes:
Labels: OB Buy/Sell entries
Triangles: Buy SL / Sell SL liquidity sweeps
Lines: Equal Highs and Lows
🔔 Alerts
Built-in alerts to notify when:
OB entries are confirmed
Liquidity sweeps happen
