MacroTide Elasticity SystemThe MacroTide Elasticity System is a professional-grade technical analysis tool designed to identify potential trend exhaustions and reversals by modeling price action as an elastic band stretched from a volume-weighted baseline. Unlike standard oscillators (like RSI) that only look at price changes, MacroTide integrates Volume, Price Range, and Volatility to gauge the "energy" behind a move.
1. Concepts and Methodology
The core concept is Mean Reversion based on Volume-Weighted Elasticity. Markets tend to snap back to a value consensus (mean) after over-extension.
Volume-Weighted Baseline: We use a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) rather than a simple SMA. This ensures that heavy-volume trading days pull the baseline closer to price, while low-volume drift allows the baseline to lag, accurately representing the "true" average cost.
Elasticity Physics: The oscillator calculates how far price has deviated from this VWMA baseline, measured in standard deviations. This creates a normalized "Elasticity Score" (0-100).
High Score (>80): Price is over-extended to the upside (Overbought) relative to volume support.
Low Score (<20): Price is over-extended to the downside (Oversold).
Institutional Absorption (Churn): The script detects specific bar anomalies where Volume is High but Price Range is Low. This pattern often indicates "Churn"—where institutions are absorbing supply or unloading positions without moving the price significantly.
2. Key Features
MacroTrend Detection: Visualizes the market's stretch limits.
Divergence Scanner: Automatically detects and labels Regular Bullish and Bearish divergences. This occurs when price makes a new extreme, but the Elasticity Oscillator fails to confirm it, signaling waning momentum.
Absorption Events: Highlights yellow "sun" markers on the oscillator when high-volume churn is detected, often preceding a breakout or reversal.
Dynamic Coloring: Candles and oscillator lines change color based on the slope of the elasticity (Green for rising momentum, Red for falling).
3. How to Use
Trend Reversals: Look for the oscillator to enter the Overbought (80) or Oversold (20) zones. A reversal signal (triangle marker) is generated when the oscillator crosses back out of these zones, indicating the "snap back" effect has begun.
Divergence Confirmation: Use the "DIV" labels as early warning signs. A Bullish Divergence in an oversold zone is a high-probability setup for a long entry.
Filtering Trends: The center line (50) acts as a trend filter. Above 50 indicates bullish bias; below 50 indicates bearish bias.
4. Settings & Customisation
Lookback Period: Default is 21 (Swing). Increase to 50 or 100 for Macro/Long-term analysis.
StdDev Multiplier: Adjusts the sensitivity of the bands. Higher values (e.g., 2.5 or 3.0) are better for volatile assets like Crypto.
Absorption Volume Factor: Threshold for detecting churn. Default is 1.5x average volume.
Disclaimer: This tool is for informational purposes only. Past performance (divergences/signals) does not guarantee future results. Always manage risk effectively.
Search in scripts for "bias"
Apex Trend & Liquidity Master V2.1The Apex Trend & Liquidity Master is a hybrid trading system designed to align traders with the dominant market trend while identifying key structural price levels. Unlike simple moving average crossovers or standalone support/resistance tools, this script integrates a volatility-adaptive "Trend Cloud" with a "Smart Liquidity" engine.
This integration allows the script to offer unique filtering capabilities, such as hiding counter-trend liquidity zones to reduce chart noise and focus on high-probability continuations.
How It Works
Adaptive Trend Cloud The backbone of the system is the Trend Cloud, calculated using a Hull Moving Average (HMA) base with ATR bands. The cloud expands and contracts based on market volatility.
Green Cloud: Bullish Regime. The market is trending up; look for long opportunities.
Red Cloud: Bearish Regime. The market is trending down; look for short opportunities.
Smart Liquidity Zones (with Integration) The script automatically detects Pivot Highs and Lows to draw Supply (Resistance) and Demand (Support) zones. These zones persist until price breaks through them (mitigation).
Integration Feature: A "Filter Zones by Trend" option is included in the settings. When enabled, this feature connects the Trend Cloud to the Liquidity Engine:
It will only display Demand zones when the Trend Cloud is Bullish.
It will only display Supply zones when the Trend Cloud is Bearish.
Note on Lag: Zones are based on pivots (default lookback: 10). A zone appears on the chart 10 bars after the pivot forms. These are historical structural levels.
Signal Filters Buy and Sell labels are generated when the Trend Cloud changes color, but they are filtered to ensure quality:
Volume Filter: Signals only appear if the current volume is higher than the 20-period average.
RSI Filter: Prevents buying when RSI is overbought (>70) or selling when oversold (<30).
Live HUD An on-chart dashboard provides real-time data on:
Trend Bias: Direction of the cloud.
Momentum: RSI strength (Weak/Neutral/Strong).
Volume: High vs. Low activity.
Usage Guide
Identify the Trend: Use the background fill color to determine if you should be looking for longs (Green) or shorts (Red).
Wait for Structure: Look for price to pull back into a "Smart Liquidity" zone. For example, in a Green Trend, wait for price to touch a Green Demand box.
Confirm with Momentum: Check the Dashboard. Ideally, you want to see "Strong" momentum aligning with your trade direction.
Settings: If the chart is too cluttered, enable "Filter Zones by Trend" in the settings menu to hide counter-trend boxes.
Credits & Attribution This script combines original integration logic with adapted open-source concepts:
Smart Liquidity Logic: The method for generating Supply/Demand boxes via Pivot Highs/Lows and array management is adapted from open-source logic commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) indicators, notably popularized by LuxAlgo and the broader Pine community.
Trend Logic: The volatility cloud utilizes standard Hull Moving Average (HMA) and ATR formulas.

Advanced custom multi MA signals (EMA/SMA/VWMA/VWAP) Features of Multi Moving Averages
The biggest enemy in trading is "Noise." If you get swayed by minute fluctuations on the chart, you end up missing the forest for the trees.
This indicator (Advanced Custom Multi MA Signals) is not just a simple line. By combining the three core elements of Price, Time, and Volume, it acts as a navigation system that visualizes the market's "true trend." In particular, the ability to analyze 5 moving averages simultaneously across various timeframes is akin to viewing a 3D map of the battlefield.
Understanding Core Concepts
This indicator supports 4 types of moving averages. It is crucial to clearly understand the nature of each tool.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): The most basic average value. Since it produces fewer whipsaws (false signals), it is used as a baseline to judge the "long-term trend."
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Places more weight on recent prices. It reacts sensitively to market changes, making it advantageous for identifying "entry points."
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): Incorporates "volume" into the price calculation. It acts as a "false signal filter," weeding out price moves that aren't backed by trading volume.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): The benchmark price used by institutional investors for daily trading. It is calculated based on the session, regardless of the period settings. It is considered the "lifeline" of day trading.
Indicator Settings Guide
Open the settings window and tune it to fit your trading style.
MA 01 ~ 05 (Moving Average Settings)
MA Type: Select according to your purpose. (Generally, EMA is recommended for short-term analysis, SMA/VWMA for long-term).
Length: Enter the period you wish to analyze (e.g., 20, 60, 120, 200).
Timeframe: This is the core feature. It allows you to overlay moving averages from a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour, Daily) onto the chart you are currently viewing (e.g., 15-minute).
Signal Option (Trading Signals)
Golden Cross (GC) / Death Cross (DC): Captures the moment the short-term line breaks through the long-term line. You can run up to 3 strategies simultaneously.
Ribbon Gradient (Trend Visualization)
Represents the gap between two moving averages with color. As the color deepens and the width expands, it indicates a powerful trend; if the width narrows, it suggests a high probability of a trend reversal.
5 Usage Strategies
The highlight of this indicator is the cross strategy utilizing the "Multi-Timeframe (MTF)" feature. Familiarize yourself with the 5 example strategies below and set up your own strategy based on your expertise.
💡 Tip 1. Do not go against the "Major Trend" (The Authority of the Weekly Candle)
Settings: Set MA5 to .
Interpretation: The Weekly 50 line is the "major trend line" managed by institutions and market makers. If the current price is above this line, maintain only a "Buy (Long)" bias; if below, maintain only a "Sell (Short)" bias. Adhering to this rule alone can help you avoid massive losses.
💡 Tip 2. Highly Reliable "Swing Signal" (Daily Golden Cross)
Settings: In Signal 1, configure the Short MA to and the Long MA to .
Interpretation: A Golden Cross where the 4-Hour 50 EMA breaks above the Daily 50 EMA often signifies a major "trend reversal" rather than a temporary rebound. This provides an ideal entry signal for office workers or swing traders who need high reliability.
💡 Tip 3. 4-Hour Candle as the Standard for "Precision Entry"
Situation: When the Daily trend is rising (Bullish alignment).
Strategy: While watching the 15-minute or 1-hour chart, set the indicator's Signal 2 to the cross of and .
Interpretation: When the Daily chart is in an uptrend, a Golden Cross occurring on the 4-Hour chart marks "the point where a correction (pullback) ends and the rise resumes." This is the entry point with the best risk-to-reward ratio.
💡 Tip 4. Filtering Out "Fake Signals" (The Secret of Volume)
Strategy: When creating a cross signal, try using VWMA (Volume Weighted) for the Long MA, even if you use EMA for the Short MA.
Reason: A Golden Cross caused simply by a rise in price can be a trap. However, if it breaks through the heavy VWMA line accompanied by volume, it is strong evidence that "genuine liquidity" has entered.
💡 Tip 5. Remember the "Hierarchy" (Higher Timeframe Priority Rule)
Principle: If a Golden Cross (Buy Signal) appears on the 4-Hour chart, but the Daily chart is in a Death Cross (Sell Signal) state, do not enter.
Interpretation: A signal from a lower timeframe cannot overcome the power of a higher timeframe. The professional approach is to trade with significant volume only when signals align (Sync) in the order of Weekly > Daily > 4-Hour. Keep this indicator's dashboard feature on and always check the status of higher timeframes.
Signal Generation Principle (Operating Mechanism)
Signals are generated when the set short-term moving average and long-term moving average cross each other.
📈 1. Golden Cross (BUY = Buy Signal)
Situation: The moment the short-term MA crosses upward from below the long-term MA.
Principle: It implies that recent buying pressure has broken through the resistance level accumulated over a long period.
📉 2. Death Cross (SELL = Sell Signal)
Situation: The moment the short-term MA crosses downward from above the long-term MA.
Principle: It implies that recent selling pressure has collapsed the long-term support line.

Investment Caution and Disclaimer
Before using this indicator for actual trading, please strictly read the contents below.
① Auxiliary indicators are a "Compass," not a "Book of Prophecy."
This indicator is merely a tool that mathematically calculates and visualizes past price data. A "magic indicator" that predicts future price fluctuations 100% accurately or guarantees profit does not exist. The signals provided are for reference only and must never be the sole basis for entry/exit decisions.
② The responsibility for all investments lies with "Yourself."
Financial investment (Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Futures, etc.) involves high volatility and is a risky activity that can result in the loss of some or all of the principal. The final responsibility for all trading results (profits and losses) incurred by utilizing this indicator lies entirely with the investor. The distributor and developer accept no legal responsibility for investment results under any circumstances.
③ Past data does not guarantee the future.
Even a Golden Cross that fit perfectly in backtesting or past charts may operate differently in tomorrow's market situation (News, Macroeconomics, Unexpected Variables, etc.). Do not rely solely on technical analysis; you must conduct fundamental analysis and risk management in parallel.
④ Risk management is the top priority.
No matter how promising a signal appears, "all-in trading" (investing all assets in a single trade) is a shortcut to bankruptcy. More important than the indicator itself is adhering to the principles of strict scaling in (split buying) and Stop-Loss.
BK AK-IED💥 Introducing BK AK-IED — Volatility Ignition / Expansion / Detonation 💥
A pressure-to-release weapon system for traders who want timing, not noise.
Markets don’t move clean because they “feel like it.” They load, they ignite, and then they detonate into expansion. BK AK-IED is built to expose that sequence in real time—so you stop trading randomness and start trading regime shifts.
⚔️ What BK AK-IED is
BK AK-IED is a 3-speed VWMA energy oscillator that blends price movement + volume into a single pressure readout:
Fast (5) = ignition energy (range-driven)
Medium (21) = core pressure engine
Slow (55) = structural volatility backdrop
It’s not a “direction oracle.” It’s an energy meter that tells you when the market is coiling, when it’s waking up, and when it’s breaking out with force.
🧠 Core Weapon Systems
✅ Dynamic Scaling
Keeps the oscillator readable across symbols (no ridiculous y-axis blowouts).
✅ Volatility State Bar (Bottom Strip) — Your War Room
🟨 CONTRACTION = VWMA convergence / coil / pressure loading
🟩 EXPANSION = energy spike begins
🟥 BREAKOUT = expansion without contraction (release phase)
⬜ NEUTRAL = dead zone, don’t force it
✅ Breakout Peak Icons (Crown markers)
Crowns print only when there’s true breakout energy and the move hits major peak territory versus recent extremes. Translation:
tighten risk, scale-out, stop getting greedy. These are exhaustion warnings—not automatic reversals.
Timeframe-adaptive peak filtering is built in:
< 1H: stricter peak requirement
≥ 1H: more realistic swing threshold
🧭 How to use it (execution, not opinions)
1) 🟨 Contraction = don’t bleed.
This is the chop factory. You wait. You map levels. You stalk.
2) 🟩 Expansion = prepare.
Start aligning with structure: trend framework, VWAP, key levels, HTF bias.
3) 🟥 Breakout = engage.
This is where moves pay. Trade the direction your structure supports and manage risk like a professional.
4) 👑 Peak during breakout = harvest / protect.
Scale. Tighten stops. Don’t turn winners into donations.
🧱 Inputs that matter (what you’re actually tuning)
Amplitude Multiplier = how aggressive the energy read is
VWMA Spread Contraction Threshold = how tight “coil” must be to count
Scale Lookback = how far back the dynamic scaling references
Peak Thresholds = how selective peaks are (auto-switches based on timeframe)
The “AK” in the name is an acknowledgment of my mentor A.K. His standards (patience, precision, clarity, and emotional control) are a major reason I build tools with structure instead of hype.
And above all: all praise to Gd — the true source of wisdom, restraint, and right timing.
👑 King Solomon Lens — ZENITH Discipline
Solomon didn’t build greatness by impulse. He built it by measure, order, and restraint.
When the Temple was built, the stones were prepared away from the site—so the structure went up with precision, not chaos. That is the market lesson: the decisive moment is loud, but the preparation is silent. If you only show up for the noise, you will always arrive late.
BK AK-IED is that Solomon blueprint on a chart:
🟨 Contraction is the quarry.
The market is cutting the stones in silence. This is where the undisciplined burn money “doing something.” The wise do the opposite: they reduce noise, define levels, and wait.
🟩 Expansion is the line being set.
Pressure starts to move. This is where you bring structure online—bias, levels, risk plan. Not excitement.
🟥 Breakout is the placement.
The stone drops into position. This is the only phase where aggression is righteous—because it’s backed by a real shift, not hope.
👑 Peak icons are ZENITH—crown-of-the-move logic.
Zenith is where force and momentum reach their highest point before decay begins. The crown is not “celebrate and add.” The crown is govern yourself: harvest, tighten, protect. Solomon’s edge wasn’t prediction—it was rule over the self. That’s what separates profit from punishment.
This is what wisdom looks like in trading: not guessing the future—governing your exposure when the present is telling you the truth. And may Gd bless your restraint as much as your entries, because restraint is where survival becomes power.
✅ Final
BK AK-IED is your volatility weapon for market warfare:
Load → Ignite → Detonate.
Use it with structure. Use it with discipline. And give praise to Gd for every protected loss, every clean entry, and every moment you didn’t force a trade. 🙏
USD Liquidity Regime for BTC Perps (Dual) V1USD Liquidity Regime for BTC Perps (Dual)
This intents to be a BTC Perps USD Liquidity Regime macro indicator.
As it names states it is designed for BTCUSDT perpetual futures traders.
It attempts to tracks USD strength (DXY, UUP, yields, VIX composite) as liquidity proxy:
Lower index = weak USD = Risk-On (green background/histogram = long tailwind for BTC).
Higher = strong USD = Risk-Off (red = caution longs, shorts favor).
How to use:
Green background/histogram: Favor longs — rallies likely, dips bought.
Red: Caution longs — corrections hurt, short bias possible.
Blue line (index) vs red SMA: Crosses signal regime shifts.
Histogram strength: Bigger bars = stronger bias.
This is not intended as financial advise or trigger signal tool.

Buy-Dip / Sell-Pullback Buy the Dip / Sell the Pullback – Trend-Following Strategy (EOD → Next Day Execution)
Overview
This is a trend-following futures strategy designed to participate in pullbacks within established trends, not to predict reversals.
It works on End-of-Day (EOD) confirmation and executes trades on the next trading session, making it suitable for positional and swing traders.
The strategy combines momentum, trend direction, volatility, and price location to filter for high-quality setups while avoiding overtrading.
🔍 Core Philosophy
Trade only in the direction of the prevailing trend
Buy dips in uptrends
Sell pullbacks in downtrends
Avoid chasing price after extended gaps
Use volatility-adjusted risk management (ATR-based SL & targets)
📊 Indicators Used
RSI (20)
Measures underlying momentum strength
Stochastic Oscillator (55, 34, 21)
Confirms pullback exhaustion within a trend
Supertrend (10, 2)
Defines primary trend direction
Bollinger Bands (20, 2)
Provides structural trend bias
ATR (5)
Used for:
Entry gap filter
Stop-loss
Profit target
Supertrend buffer
✅ Long (Buy) Setup – Evaluated at EOD
A long setup is generated when all of the following conditions are satisfied at the close of the trading day:
RSI(20) is above the bullish threshold (default: 48)
Stochastic %K is above %D (confirming pullback momentum)
Supertrend direction is bullish
Price is near or above Supertrend, allowing a volatility-adjusted buffer (ATR-based)
Price is above the Bollinger Band middle line
This combination ensures:
The market is trending up
Momentum supports continuation
The pullback is controlled, not a breakdown
❌ Short (Sell) Setup – Evaluated at EOD
A short setup is generated when:
RSI(20) is below the bearish threshold (default: 52)
Stochastic %K is below %D
Supertrend direction is bearish
Price is near or below Supertrend, with an ATR buffer
Price is below the Bollinger Band middle line
This filters for pullbacks within sustained downtrends.
⏰ Trade Execution Logic (Next Day Rule)
Once a setup is confirmed at EOD, a trade is attempted on the next trading session
To avoid chasing gaps:
Long trades are allowed only if price does not move more than a defined multiple of the previous day’s True Range
Short trades follow the same logic in reverse
This is implemented via limit orders, ensuring realistic backtesting and execution behavior
🛑 Risk Management
All exits are volatility-adjusted using ATR:
Stop-Loss:
1.1 × ATR(5) from entry price
Target:
2.2 × ATR(5) from entry price
This results in a risk–reward ratio of approximately 1:2
ATR is frozen at entry to avoid forward-looking bias.
🧠 Why This Strategy Works
Avoids low-quality trades during consolidation
Participates only when trend + momentum align
Prevents emotional gap-chasing
Adapts automatically to changing volatility
Suitable for index futures and liquid stocks
📌 Recommended Usage
Timeframe: Daily
Instruments:
Index Futures (e.g. NIFTY, BANKNIFTY)
Highly liquid stocks
Market Type: Trending markets
Not ideal for: Sideways or low-volatility environments
⚙️ Customization Tips
You can control trade frequency and aggressiveness by adjusting:
RSI thresholds
Supertrend buffer (ATR multiple)
Gap filter multiplier
Stochastic edge parameter
Looser settings → more trades
Stricter settings → higher selectivity

Dynamic MAs Zscore | Lyro RSThe Dynamic MAs Zscore is an adaptive momentum and valuation oscillator built around advanced moving averages and statistical Z-Score normalization. By combining a wide selection of moving average types with dynamic deviation bands, this indicator delivers clear insights into trend strength , directional bias , and relative valuation — all in a clean, visually intuitive format.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Key Features
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dynamic Moving Average Engine
Applies one of 12 selectable moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA, ALMA, TEMA, etc.) to the chosen source. This allows fine-tuning between responsiveness and smoothness depending on market conditions.
Z-Score Normalization
Transforms the selected moving average into a standardized Z-Score:
(MA − mean) / standard deviation
This normalization makes momentum strength comparable across assets and timeframes.
Adaptive Deviation Bands
Upper and lower bands are derived from the rolling standard deviation of the Z-Score:
Custom band length
Independent positive and negative multipliers
These bands dynamically expand and contract with volatility.
Dual Signal Modes
Trend Mode – Focuses on directional continuation. Color changes and signals occur when Z-Score breaks above or below deviation bands.
Valuation Mode – Highlights relative overvaluation and undervaluation using a gradient color scale and predefined value zones.
Advanced Visual System
Includes bold layered plots, gradient fills, background shading, and candle/bar coloring to clearly reflect current market state.
Custom Color Palettes
Choose from multiple preset themes (Classic, Mystic, Accented, Royal) or define your own bullish and bearish colors.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
How It Works
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MA Calculation – The selected moving average type is applied to the chosen price source.
Z-Score Computation – The MA is normalized over a user-defined lookback period to quantify deviation from its mean.
Band Construction – Standard deviation of the Z-Score is calculated over the band length and scaled by positive/negative multipliers.
Mode-Dependent Logic
Trend Mode – Breaks above the upper band signal bullish momentum; breaks below the lower band signal bearish momentum.
Valuation Mode – A gradient reflects relative valuation from undervalued to overvalued, with background highlights at extreme Z-Score levels.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Signal Interpretation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Trend Confirmation
In Trend Mode, sustained moves beyond deviation bands indicate strong directional bias.
Momentum Strength
The distance of the Z-Score from zero reflects the intensity of trend momentum.
Relative Valuation
In Valuation Mode, deep negative Z-Scores suggest undervaluation, while high positive Z-Scores suggest overvaluation.
Visual Clarity
Bar and candle coloring aligned with oscillator state allows for rapid assessment of market conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Customization
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Adjust MA type and length to balance speed vs. smoothness.
Modify Z-Score length to control sensitivity.
Tune band length and multipliers for volatility adaptation.
Switch between Trend and Valuation modes depending on strategy.
Personalize visuals using preset or custom color palettes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Alerts
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bullish condition when Z-Score > 0
Bearish condition when Z-Score < 0
Overvalued and undervalued valuation alerts

FxAST Trend Force [ALLDYN]Attribution
This indicator is based on the original Trend Speed Analyzer created by Zeiierman .
FxAST Trend Force is a modified and simplified derivative that preserves the core methodology while focusing on clarity, usability, and practical trend interpretation .
This indicator is intended for educational and analytical use. Derivative works must retain attribution and license terms.
__________________________________________________________________________________
FxAST Trend Force
Overview
FxAST Trend Force is a directional pressure indicator designed to show who is in control of the market and how strong that control is, in real time.
Instead of measuring raw price speed or traditional momentum, this tool focuses on trend force — the sustained push of price relative to a dynamic trend baseline. The result is a clean, intuitive view of trend direction, strength, and condition without complex math or hard-to-interpret ratios.
This indicator is best used as a trend confirmation and trade management tool , not a standalone signal generator.
_________________________________________________________________________________
How It Works
FxAST Trend Force uses a Dynamic Moving Average (DMA) that adapts to changing market conditions. Price behavior relative to this adaptive trend line determines the current trend regime.
While price remains on one side of the trend:
Directional pressure accumulates
Strength builds or weakens
The regime resets only when price decisively crosses the trend
This creates a clear visual representation of trend persistence vs exhaustion , rather than short-term noise.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Core Concepts (Plain English)
Trend
Shows the current directional bias:
Bull → price above the dynamic trend
Bear → price below the dynamic trend
This answers: “Which side is currently in control?”
__________________________________________________________________________________
Strength
Displays how strong the current trend pressure is on a 0–100 scale , normalized to recent market conditions.
Strength is shown both as:
A simple label: Weak / Normal / Strong
A visual meter for quick interpretation
This answers: “Is this move weak, average, or meaningful?”
__________________________________________________________________________________
State
Indicates whether trend force is:
Building → pressure increasing
Fading → pressure weakening
This answers: “Is the trend gaining energy or losing it?”
__________________________________________________________________________________
Visual Meter
A compact bar at the bottom of the table represents trend force intensity at a glance.
Longer bar → stronger sustained pressure
Shorter bar → weaker or stalling trend
No ratios. No multipliers. Just visual clarity.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How to Use
Trend Confirmation
Favor longs when Trend = Bull and Strength = Normal/Strong
Favor shorts when Trend = Bear and Strength = Normal/Strong
__________________________________________________________________________________
Trade Management
Building state supports continuation
Fading state warns of exhaustion, consolidation, or potential reversal
__________________________________________________________________________________
Filtering Noise
Weak strength often signals chop or low-quality conditions
Strong force helps filter false breakouts
__________________________________________________________________________________
Settings (Simplified)
Maximum Length
Controls how smooth or responsive the dynamic trend is.
Accelerator Multiplier
Adjusts how quickly the trend adapts to price changes.
Lookback Period
Defines the window used to normalize trend force.
Enable Candles
Colors price candles by trend force for visual clarity.
Show Simple Table
Toggles the Trend / Strength / State display.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Philosophy
FxAST Trend Force is intentionally not a signal-spamming indicator.
It is designed to reduce cognitive load , not increase it.
If you need:
exact entries → use price action
exact exits → use structure
context and confirmation → use Trend Force

Indicator ***TuYa*** V8.2 – HH/HL MTF + Peak Mid ZoneIndicator TuYa V8.0 – HH/HL MTF + Peak Mid Zone
TuYa V8.0 combines multi-timeframe market structure with a Peak Reaction midline to create clean, rule-based reversal and trend entries – designed primarily for 1-minute execution with 1-hour bias.
🧠 Core Concept
This indicator fuses three ideas:
HTF Peak Reaction Midline (1H)
Uses a Peak Reaction style logic on the higher timeframe (HTF, default: 1H).
Identifies a reaction high and reaction low, then calculates their midpoint → the Peak Mid Zone.
This midline acts as a dynamic sentiment divider (above = premium / below = discount).
Multi-Timeframe HH/HL/LH/LL Structure
HTF structure (1H): detects HH, HL, LH, LL using pivot highs/lows.
LTF structure (1m): detects HH, HL, LH, LL on the execution timeframe (chart TF, intended for 1m).
HTF → LTF Confirmation Window
After a 1H structure event (HH, HL, LL, LH), the indicator opens a confirmation window of up to N LTF candles (default: 10 x 1m bars).
Within that window, the required 1m structure event must occur to confirm an entry.
🎯 Signal Logic
All entries are generated on the LTF (e.g. 1m chart), using HTF (e.g. 1H) bias + Peak Mid Zone:
1️⃣ Price ABOVE Peak Mid (Bullish premium zone)
Reversal SELL
HTF: HH (Higher High)
Within N 1m bars: LTF HH
→ SELL signal (fading HTF strength near premium)
Trend/Bullish BUY
HTF: HL (Higher Low)
Within N 1m bars: LTF LL
→ BUY signal (buying dips in an uptrend above midline)
2️⃣ Price BELOW Peak Mid (Bearish discount zone)
Reversal BUY
HTF: LL (Lower Low)
Within N 1m bars: LTF LL
→ BUY signal (catching potential reversal from discount)
Trend/Bearish SELL
HTF: LH (Lower High)
Within N 1m bars: LTF HH
→ SELL signal (shorting strength in a downtrend below midline)
Signals are plotted as small BUY/SELL triangles on the chart and exposed via alert conditions.
🧾 Filters & Options
⏳ HTF → LTF Delay Window
Input: “Max 1m bars after HTF trigger” (default: 10)
After a 1H HH/HL/LL/LH event, the indicator waits up to N LTF candles for the matching 1m structure pattern.
If no match occurs within the window, no signal is generated.
📉 RSI No-Trade Zone (HTF)
Toggle: Use RSI no-trade zone
Inputs:
RSI Length (HTF)
No-trade lower bound (default 45)
No-trade upper bound (default 65)
If HTF RSI is inside the defined band (e.g. 45–65), signals are blocked (no-trade regime), helping to avoid noisy mid-range conditions.
You can turn this filter ON/OFF and adjust the band dynamically.
🧱 5m OB / Direction Filter (Optional)
Toggle: Use 5m OB direction filter
Timeframe: Configurable (default: 5m).
Uses a simple directional proxy on the OB timeframe:
For BUY signals → require a bullish candle on OB timeframe.
For SELL signals → require a bearish candle on OB timeframe.
When enabled, this adds an extra layer of confluence by aligning entries with the short-term directional context.
⚙️ Key Inputs (Summary)

US Market Long Horizon Momentum Summary in one paragraph
US Market Long Horizon Momentum is a trend following strategy for US index ETFs and futures built around a single eighteen month time series momentum measure. It helps you stay long during persistent bull regimes and step aside or flip short when long term momentum turns negative.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap US equity indices, liquid US index ETFs, index futures
• Timeframes. 4h/ Daily charts
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 4h timeframe chart
• Purpose. Provide a minimal long bias index timing model that can reduce deep drawdowns and capture major cycles without parameter mining
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. One unscaled multiple month log return of an external benchmark symbol drives all entries and exits, with optional volatility targeting as a single risk control switch.
• Failure mode addressed. Fully passive buy and hold ignores the sign of long horizon momentum and can sit through multi year drawdowns. This script offers a way to step down risk in prolonged negative momentum without chasing short term noise.
• Testability. All parameters are visible in Inputs and the momentum series is plotted so users can verify every regime change in the Tester and on price history.
• Portable yardstick. The log return over a fixed window is a unit that can be applied to any liquid symbol with daily data.
Method overview in plain language
The method looks at how far the benchmark symbol has moved in log return terms over an eighteen month window in our example. If that long horizon return is positive the strategy allows a long stance on the traded symbol. If it is negative and shorts are enabled the strategy can flip short, otherwise it goes flat. There is an optional realised volatility estimate on the traded symbol that can scale position size toward a target annual volatility, but in the default configuration the model uses unit leverage and only the sign of momentum matters.
Base measures
Return basis. The core yardstick is the natural log of close divided by the close eighteen months ago on the benchmark symbol. Daily log returns of the traded symbol feed the realised volatility estimate when volatility targeting is enabled.
Components
• Component one Momentum eighteen months. Log of benchmark close divided by its close mom_lookback bars ago. Its sign defines the trend regime. No extra smoothing is applied beyond the long window itself.
• Component two Realised volatility optional. Standard deviation of daily log returns on the traded symbol over sixty three days. Annualised by the square root of 252. Used only when volatility targeting is enabled.
• Optional component Volatility targeting. Converts target annual volatility and realised volatility into a leverage factor clipped by a maximum leverage setting.
Fusion rule
The model uses a simple gate. First compute the sign of eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol. Optionally compute leverage from volatility. The sign decides whether the strategy wants to be long, short, or flat. Leverage only rescales position size when enabled and does not change direction.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion. When eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol is greater than zero, the strategy wants to be long.
• Short suggestion. When that log momentum is less than zero and shorts are allowed, the strategy wants to be short. If shorts are disabled it stays flat instead.
• Wait state. When the log momentum is exactly zero or history is not long enough the strategy stays flat.
• In position. In practice the strategy sits IN LONG while the sign stays positive and flips to IN SHORT or flat only when the sign changes.
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Momentum Lookback (months). Controls the horizon of the log return on the benchmark symbol. Typical range 6 to 24 months. Raising it makes the model slower and more selective. Lowering it makes it more reactive and sensitive to medium term noise.
• Symbol. External symbol used for the momentum calculation, SPY by default. Changing it lets you time other indices or run signals from a benchmark while trading a correlated instrument.
Logic
• Allow Shorts. When true the strategy will open short positions during negative momentum regimes. When false it will stay flat whenever momentum is negative. Practical setting is tied to whether you use a margin account or an ETF that supports shorting.
Internal risk parameters (not exposed as inputs in this version) are:
• Target Vol (annual). Target annual volatility for volatility targeting, default 0.2.
• Vol Lookback (days). Window for realised volatility, default 63 trading days.
• Max Leverage. Cap on leverage when volatility targeting is enabled, default 2.
Usage recipes
Swing continuation
• Signal timeframe. Use the daily chart.
• Benchmark symbol. Leave at SPY for US equity index exposure.
• Momentum lookback. Eighteen months as a default, with twelve months as an alternative preset for a faster swing bias.
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital. 100000
• Base currency. USD
• Default order size method. 5% of the total capital in this example
• Pyramiding. 0
• Commission. 0.03 percent
• Slippage. 3 ticks
• Process orders on close. On
• Bar magnifier. Off
• Recalculate after order is filled. Off
• Calc on every tick. Off
• All request.security calls use lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off
Realism and responsible publication
The strategy is for education and research only. It does not claim any guaranteed edge or future performance. All results in Strategy Tester are hypothetical and depend on the data vendor, costs, and slippage assumptions. Intrabar motion is not modeled inside daily bars so extreme moves and gaps can lead to fills that differ from live trading. The logic is built for standard candles and should not be used on synthetic chart types for execution decisions.
Performance is sensitive to regime structure in the US equity market, which may change over time. The strategy does not protect against single day crash risk inside bars and does not model gap risk explicitly. Past behavior of SPY and the momentum effect does not guarantee future persistence.
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Long sideways regimes with small net change over eighteen months can lead to whipsaw around the zero line.
• Very sharp V shaped reversals after deep declines will often be missed because the model waits for momentum to turn positive again.
• The sample size in a full SPY history is small because regime changes are infrequent, so any test must be interpreted as indicative rather than statistically precise.
• The model is highly dependent on the chosen lookback. Users should test nearby values and validate that behavior is qualitatively stable.

2. Volatility engine – ATR with context 📈
atr = ta.atr(atrLength)
atrPercent = (atr / close) * 100
atrSMA = ta.sma(atr, atrLength)
volatilityRatio = atr / atrSMA
isHighVol = volatilityRatio > volThreshold
ATR vs ATR SMA shows how wild price is relative to recent history.
Volatility ratio above the threshold flips isHighVol , which immediately trims risk.
An ATR percentile rank over the last 100 bars indicates calm versus chaotic regimes.
Daily ATR sampling via request.security() gives higher time-frame context for intraday sessions.
When volatility spikes the script dials position size down automatically instead of cheering for maximum exposure.
---
3. Market regime radar – Danger or Drift 🌊
ema20 = ta.ema(close, 20)
ema50 = ta.ema(close, 50)
ema200 = ta.ema(close, 200)
trendScore = (close > ema20 ? 1 : -1) +
(ema20 > ema50 ? 1 : -1) +
(ema50 > ema200 ? 1 : -1)
= ta.dmi(14, 14)
Regimes covered:
Danger : high volatility with weak trend.
Volatile : volatility elevated but structure still directional.
Choppy : low ADX and noisy action.
Trending : directional flows without extreme volatility.
Mixed : anything between.
Each regime maps to a 1–10 risk score and a multiplier that feeds the final position size. Danger and Choppy clamp size; Trending restores normal risk.
---
4. Behaviour engine – trader inputs matter 🧠
You provide:
Emotional state : Confident, Neutral, FOMO, Revenge, Fearful.
Confidence : slider from 1 to 10.
Toggle for behavioural adjustment on/off.
Behind the scenes:
Each state triggers an emotional multiplier .
Confidence produces a confidence multiplier .
Combined they form behavioralFactor and a 0–100 Behavioural Score .
High-risk emotions or low conviction clamp the final risk. Calm inputs allow normal size. The dashboard prints both fields to keep accountability on-screen.
---
5. Correlation guardrail – avoid stacking identical risk 📊
Optional correlation mode compares the active symbol to a reference (default AMEX:SPY ):
corrClose = request.security(correlationSymbol, timeframe.period, close)
priceReturn = ta.change(close) / close
corrReturn = ta.change(corrClose) / corrClose
correlation = calcCorrelation()
Absolute correlation above the threshold applies a correlation multiplier (< 1) to reduce size.
Dashboard row shows the live correlation and reference ticker.
When disabled, the row simply echoes the current symbol, keeping the table readable.

6. Position sizing engine – heart of the script 💰
baseRiskAmount = accountSize * (baseRiskPercent / 100)
adjustedRisk = baseRiskAmount * behavioralFactor *
regimeAdjustment * volAdjustment *
correlationAdjustment
finalRiskAmount = math.min(adjustedRisk,
accountSize * (maxRiskCap / 100))
stopDistance = atr * atrStopMultiplier
takeProfit = atr * atrTargetMultiplier
positionSize = stopDistance > 0 ? finalRiskAmount / stopDistance : 0
positionValue = positionSize * close
Outputs shown on the dashboard:
Position size in units and value in currency.
Actual risk % back on account after adjustments.
Risk/Reward derived from ATR-based stop and target.

7. Intelligent trade direction – bias without signals 🎯
Direction score ingredients:
EMA stack alignment.
Price versus EMA20.
RSI momentum relative to 50.
MACD line vs signal.
Directional Movement (DI+/DI–).
The resulting Trade Direction row prints LONG, SHORT, or NEUTRAL. No orders are generated—this is guidance so you only risk capital when the structure supports it.
---
8. Stop/target guide lines – two lines only ✂️
if showStopLines
if preferLong
// long stop below, target above
else if preferShort
// short stop above, target below
Lines refresh each bar to keep clutter low.
When the direction score is neutral, no lines appear.
Use them as visual anchors, not auto-orders.

In addition, a built‑in information panel summarizes live indicator states for quick decision‑making without checking multiple indicators.
⚙️ Core Logic Components
SMA (20‑period): Identifies trend slope; rising → bullish bias, falling → bearish bias.
VWAP: Defines fair‑value position — Above, Below, or Inside volume‑weighted average price.
QQE‑Lite (RSI): Tracks internal momentum shifts by comparing RSI to its EMA smoothing.
ATR Strength: Classifies current volatility regime as Turbo, Strong, or Weak.
SuperTrend: Confirms structural trend direction using an ATR‑based trailing model.
Choppiness Filter: Suppresses signals when short‑term volatility contracts or range noise dominates.
Fakeout Detection: Prevents false triggers after deceptive breakouts or reversals.
🧩 Execution Logic
BUY Signal: All major trend engines align bullishly, with clean structure and momentum.
SELL Signal: All major engines align bearishly, with clean structure and momentum.
STOP Phase: Appears once per cycle to mark neutral or transition zones; automatically locks further stops until a new entry signal is confirmed.
🟩🟥 Visual Elements
Green Labels: Confirmed bullish entry (BUY).
Red Labels: Confirmed bearish entry (SELL).

It can serve as a standalone trend system or foundation layer for more advanced frameworks like auto‑execution or multi‑engine HUDs.
SYXX - HTF Candle Overlay
This script, titled "HTF Candle Overlay by SYXX," is designed to visualize the full range and structure of a higher-timeframe (HTF) candle directly onto a lower-timeframe chart. It helps traders maintain context by showing where the current price action sits relative to a much larger candle's boundaries. Combined with LuxAlgo Volume Node Profile.
1. 🔍 Primary Feature: Higher Timeframe Candle Projection
Configurable Timeframe: The user sets the desired HTF using the Interval input, which defaults to 'D' (Daily). The indicator then tracks the High, Low, Open, and Close of that HTF bar.
Live and Historical Drawing: The script uses box.new to draw boxes representing the candle's full range (High to Low).
Historical Boxes (if changeHTF): When a new HTF candle closes, the completed box for the previous period is drawn.
Live Box (if barstate.islast): The indicator draws a live, dynamic box for the current, incomplete HTF candle, which expands with every new High or Low on the lower chart.
2. 🎨 Visualization & Customization
Color-Coded Bias: The boxes are colored based on the HTF candle's direction:
Bullish/Long (BgLong): Green color is used if the HTF candle closed higher than it opened (close > htfOpen).
Bearish/Short (BgShort): Red color is used if the HTF candle closed lower than it opened.
Box Styling: Users can customize the box's appearance, including border color and style, border thickness, and background opacity (BoxOpacity).
Midline: An optional MidLine is calculated as the average of the HTF High and Low, acting as a potential support/resistance reference point.
Range Display: The indicator can display the range of the box in pips (BoxRangePips) or the percentage of movement relative to the full range (BoxRangePercentage).
Time Labels: It plots time labels that show the start and end time of the completed HTF period (e.g., "07:00 - 11:00").
3. 🚨 Alert System (Placeholders)
The script includes placeholder inputs for standard trading alerts, though the internal logic for checking these conditions is currently commented out or set to false:
Alert: Break Above/Below Box: To signal a breakout of the HTF High or Low.
Alert: Price Re-Enters Box: To signal a pullback back into the range.
RSI Analytic Volume Matrix [RAVM] Overview
RSI Analytic Volume Matrix is an overlay indicator that turns classic RSI into a multi-layered market-reading engine. Instead of treating RSI 30 and 70 as simple buy/sell lines, RAVM combines RSI geometry (angle and acceleration), statistical volume analysis, and a 5×5 VSA-inspired matrix to describe what is really happening inside each candle.
The script is designed as an educational and analytical tool. It does not generate trading signals. Instead, it helps you read the market context, understand where the pressure is coming from (buyers vs. sellers), and see how price, momentum, and volume interact in real time.
Concept & Philosophy
RAVM is built around a hierarchical logic and a few core ideas:
• Hierarchical State Machine: First, RSI defines a context (where we are in the 0–100 range). Then the geometric engine evaluates the angle-of-turn of RSI using a Z-Score. Only after a meaningful geometric event is detected does the system promote a bar to a potential setup (warning vs. confirmed).
• Geometric Primacy: The angle and acceleration of RSI (RSI geometry) are more important than the raw RSI level itself. RAVM uses a geometric veto: if the geometric trigger is not confirmed, the confidence score is capped below 50%, even if volume looks interesting.
• RSI Beyond 30 and 70: Being above 70 or below 30 is not treated as an automatic overbought/oversold signal. RAVM treats those zones as contextual factors that contribute only a partial portion of the final score, alongside geometry, total volume expansion, buy/sell balance, and delta power.
• Volume Decomposition: Volume is decomposed into total, buy-side, sell-side, and delta components. Each of these is normalized with a Z-Score over a shared statistical window, so RSI geometry and volume live in the same statistical context.
• Educational Scoring Pipeline: RAVM builds a 0–100 "Quantum Score" for each detected setup. The score expresses how strong the story is across four dimensions: geometry (RSI angle-of-turn), total volume expansion, which side is driving that volume (buyers vs. sellers), and the power of delta. The score is designed for learning and weighting, not for mechanical trade entries.
• VSA Matrix Engine: A 5×5 matrix combines momentum states and volume dynamics. Each cell corresponds to an interpreted VSA-style scenario (Absorption, Distribution, No Demand, Stopping Volume, Strong Reversal, etc.), shown both as text and as a heatmap dashboard on the chart.
How RAVM Works
1. RSI Context & Geometry
RAVM starts with a classic RSI, but it does not stop at simple level checks. It computes the velocity and acceleration of RSI and normalizes them via a Z-Score to produce an Angle-of-Turn metric (Z-AoT). This Z-AoT is then mapped into a 0–1 intensity value called MSI (Momentum Shift Intensity).
The script monitors both classic RSI zones (around 30 and 70) and geometric triggers. Entering the lower or upper zone is treated as a contextual event only. A setup becomes "confirmed" when a significant geometric turn is detected (based on Z-AoT thresholds). Otherwise, the bar is at most a warning.
2. Volume & Statistical Engine
The volume engine can work in two modes: a geometric approximation (based on candle structure) or a more precise intrabar mode using up/down volume requests. In both cases, RAVM builds a volume packet consisting of:
• Total volume
• Buy-side volume
• Sell-side volume
• Delta (buy – sell)
Each of these series is normalized using a Z-Score over the same statistical window that is used for RSI geometry. This allows RAVM to answer questions such as: Is total volume exceptional on this bar? Is the expansion mostly coming from buyers or from sellers? Is delta unusually strong or weak compared to recent history?
3. Scoring System (Quantum Score)
For each bar where a setup is active, RAVM computes a 0–100 score intended as an educational confidence measure. The scoring pipeline follows this sequence:
A. RSI Geometry (MSI): Measures the strength of the RSI angle-of-turn via Z-AoT. This has geometric primacy over simple level checks.
B. RSI Zone Context: Being below 30 or above 70 contributes only a partial bonus to the score, reflecting the idea that these zones are context, not automatic signals. Mildly supportive zones (e.g., RSI below 50 for bullish contexts) can also contribute with lower weight.
C. Total Volume Expansion: A normalized Volume Power term expresses how exceptional the total volume is relative to its recent distribution. If there is no meaningful volume expansion, the score remains modest even if RSI geometry looks interesting.
D. Which Side Is Driving the Volume: RAVM then checks whether the expansion is primarily on the buy side or the sell side, using Z-Score statistics for buy and sell volume separately. This stage does not yet rely on delta as a power metric; it simply answers the question: "Is this expansion mostly driven by buyers, sellers, or both?"
E. Delta as Final Power: Only at the final stage does the script bring in delta and its Z-Score as a measure of how one-sided the pressure really is. A strong negative delta during a bullish context, for example, can highlight absorption, while a strong positive delta against a bearish context can highlight distribution or a buying climax.
If a setup is not geometrically confirmed (for example, a simple entry into RSI 30/70 without a strong geometric turn), RAVM caps the final score below 50%. This "Geometric Veto" enforces the idea that RSI geometry must confirm before a scenario can be considered high-confidence.
4. Overlay UI & Smart Labels
RAVM is an overlay indicator: all information is drawn directly on the price chart, not in a separate pane. When a setup is active, a smart label is attached to the bar, together with a vertical connector line. Each label shows:
• Direction of the setup (bullish or bearish)
• Trigger type (classic OS/OB vs. geometric/hidden)
• Status (warning vs. confirmed)
• Quantum Score as a percentage
Confirmed setups use stronger colors and solid connectors, while warnings use softer colors and dotted connectors. The script also manages label placement to avoid overlap, keeping the chart clean and readable.
In addition to labels, a dashboard table is drawn on the chart. It displays the currently active matrix scenario, the dominant bias, a short textual interpretation, the full 5×5 heatmap, and summary metrics such as RSI, MSI, and Volume Power.
RSI Is Not Just 30 and 70
One of the central design decisions in RAVM is to treat RSI 30 and 70 as context, not as fixed buy/sell buttons. Many traders mechanically assume that RSI below 30 means "buy" and RSI above 70 means "sell". RAVM explicitly rejects this simplification.
Instead, the script asks a series of deeper questions: How sharp is the angle-of-turn of RSI right now? Is total volume expanding or contracting? Is that expansion dominated by buyers or sellers? Is delta confirming the move, or is there a hidden absorption or distribution taking place?
In the scoring logic, being in a lower or upper RSI zone contributes only part of the final score. Geometry, volume expansion, the buy/sell split, and delta power all have to align before a high-confidence scenario emerges. This makes RAVM much closer to a structured market-reading tool than a classic overbought/oversold indicator.
Matrix User Manual – Reading the 5×5 Grid
The heart of RAVM is its 5×5 matrix, where the vertical axis represents momentum states (M1–M5) and the horizontal axis represents volume dynamics (V1–V5). Each cell in this grid corresponds to a VSA-style scenario. The dashboard highlights the currently active cell and prints a textual description so you can read the story at a glance.
1. Confirmation Scenarios
These scenarios occur when momentum direction and volume expansion are aligned:
• Bullish Confirmation / Strong Reversal: Momentum is shifting strongly upward (often from a depressed RSI context), and expanded volume is driven mainly by buyers. Often seen as a strong bullish reversal or continuation signal from a VSA perspective.
• Bearish Confirmation / Strong Drop: Momentum is turning decisively downward, and expanded volume is driven mainly by sellers. This maps to strong bearish continuation or sharp reversal patterns.
2. Absorption & Stopping Volume
• Absorption: Total volume expands, but the dominant flow is opposite to the recent price move or the geometric bias. For example, heavy selling volume while the geometric context is bullish. This can indicate smart money quietly absorbing orders from the crowd.
• Stopping Volume: Exceptionally high volume appears near the end of an extended move, while momentum begins to decelerate. Price may still print new extremes, but the effort vs. result relationship signals potential exhaustion and the possibility of a turn.
3. Distribution & Buying Climax
• Distribution: Heavy buying volume appears within a bearish or topping context. Rather than healthy accumulation, this often represents larger players offloading inventory to late buyers. The matrix will typically flag this as a bearish-leaning scenario despite strong upside prints.
• Buying Climax: A surge of buy-side volume near the end of a strong uptrend, with momentum starting to weaken. From a VSA point of view, this is often the last push where retail aggressively buys what smart money is selling.
4. No Demand & No Supply
• No Demand: Price attempts to rise but does so on low, non-expansive volume. The market is not interested in following the move, and the lack of participation often precedes weakness or sideways action.
• No Supply: Price tries to push lower on thin volume. Selling pressure is limited, and the lack of supply can precede stabilization or recovery if buyers step back in.
5. Trend Exhaustion
• Uptrend Exhaustion: Momentum remains nominally bullish, but the quality of volume deteriorates (e.g., more effort, less net result). The matrix marks this as an uptrend losing internal strength, often after a series of aggressive moves.
• Downtrend Exhaustion: Similar logic in the opposite direction: strong prior downtrend, but increasingly inefficient downside progress relative to the volume invested. This can precede accumulation or a relief rally.
6. Effort vs. Result Scenarios
• Bullish Effort, Little Result: Buyers invest notable volume, but price progress is limited. This may reveal hidden selling into strength or a lack of follow-through from the broader market.
• Bearish Effort, Little Result: Sellers push volume, but price does not decline proportionally. This can indicate absorption of selling pressure and potential underlying demand.
7. Neutral, Churn & Thin Markets
• Neutral / Thin Market: Momentum and volume both remain muted. RAVM marks these as neutral cells where aggressive decision-making is usually less attractive and observing the broader structure is more important.
• High Volume Churn / Volatility: Both sides are active with high volume but limited directional progress. This can correspond to battle zones, local ranges, or high volatility rotations where the main message is conflict rather than clear trend.
Inputs & Options
RAVM includes several input groups to adapt the tool to your preferences:
• Localization: Multiple language options for all labels and dashboard text (e.g., English, Farsi, Turkish, Russian).
• RSI Core Settings: RSI length, source, and upper/lower contextual zones (typically around 30 and 70).
• Geometric Engine: Z-AoT sigma thresholds, confirmation ratios, and normalization window multiplier. These control how sensitive the script is to RSI angle-of-turn events.
• Volume Engine: Choice between geometric approximation and intrabar up/down volume, Z-Score thresholds for volume expansion, and related parameters.
• Visual Interface: Toggles for smart labels, dashboard table, font sizes, dashboard position, and color themes for bullish, bearish, and warning states.

Linear Trajectory & Volume StructureThe Linear Trajectory & Volume Structure indicator is a comprehensive trend-following system designed to identify market direction, volatility-adjusted channels, and high-probability entry points. Unlike standard Moving Averages, this tool utilizes Linear Regression logic to calculate the "best fit" trajectory of price, encased within volatility bands (ATR) to filter out market noise.
It integrates three core analytical components into a single interface:
Trend Engine: A Linear Regression Curve to determine the mean trajectory.
Volume Verification: Filters signals to ensure price movement is backed by market participation.
Market Structure: Identifies previous high-volume supply and demand zones for support and resistance analysis.
2. Core Components and Logic
The Trajectory Engine
The backbone of the system is a Linear Regression calculation. This statistical method fits a straight line through recent price data points to determine the current slope and direction.
The Baseline: Represents the "fair value" or mean trajectory of the asset.
The Cloud: Calculated using Average True Range (ATR). It expands during high volatility and contracts during consolidation.
Trend Definition:
Bullish: Price breaks above the Upper Deviation Band.
Bearish: Price breaks below the Lower Deviation Band.
Neutral/Chop: Price remains inside the cloud.
Smart Volume Filter
The indicator includes a toggleable volume filter. When enabled, the script calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume.
High Volume: Current volume is greater than the Volume SMA.
Signal Validation: Reversal signals and structure zones are only generated if High Volume is present, reducing the likelihood of trading false breakouts on low liquidity.
Volume Structure (Smart Liquidity)
The script automatically plots Support (Demand) and Resistance (Supply) boxes based on pivot points.
Creation: A box is drawn only if a pivot high or low is formed with High Volume (if the volume filter is active).
Mitigation: The boxes extend to the right. If price breaks through a zone, the box turns gray to indicate the level has been breached.
3. Signal Guide
Trend Reversals (Buy/Sell Labels)
These are the primary signals indicating a potential change in the macro trend.
BUY Signal: Appears when price closes above the upper volatility band after previously being in a downtrend.
SELL Signal: Appears when price closes below the lower volatility band after previously being in an uptrend.
Pullbacks (Small Circles)
These are continuation signals, useful for adding to positions or entering an existing trend.
Long Pullback: The trend is Bullish, but price dips momentarily below the baseline (into the "discount" area) and closes back above it.
Short Pullback: The trend is Bearish, but price rallies momentarily above the baseline (into the "premium" area) and closes back below it.
4. Configuration and Settings
Trend Engine Settings
Trajectory Length: The lookback period for the Linear Regression. This is the most critical setting for tuning sensitivity.
Channel Multiplier: Controls the width of the cloud.
1.0: Aggressive. Results in narrower bands and earlier signals, but more false positives.
1.5: Balanced (Default).
2.0+: Conservative. Creates a wide channel, filtering out significant noise but delaying entry signals.
Signal Logic
Show Trend Reversals: Toggles the main Buy/Sell labels.
Show Pullbacks: Toggles the re-entry circle signals.
Smart Volume Filter: If checked, signals require above-average volume. Unchecking this yields more signals but removes the volume confirmation requirement.
Volume Structure
Show Smart Liquidity: Toggles the Support/Resistance boxes.
Structure Lookback: Defines how many bars constitute a pivot. Higher numbers identify only major market structures.
Max Active Zones: Limits the number of boxes on the chart to prevent clutter.
5. Timeframe Optimization Guide
To maximize the effectiveness of the Linear Trajectory, you must adjust the Trajectory Length input based on your trading style and timeframe.
Scalping (1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts)
Recommended Length: 20 to 30
Multiplier: 1.2 to 1.5
Logic: Fast-moving markets require a shorter lookback to react quickly to micro-trend changes.
Day Trading (15-Minute to 1-Hour Charts)
Recommended Length: 55 (Default)
Multiplier: 1.5
Logic: A balance between responsiveness and noise filtering. The default setting of 55 is standard for identifying intraday sessions.
Swing Trading (4-Hour to Daily Charts)
Recommended Length: 89 to 100
Multiplier: 1.8 to 2.0
Logic: Swing trading requires filtering out intraday noise. A longer length ensures you stay in the trade during minor retracements.
6. Dashboard (HUD) Interpretation
The Head-Up Display (HUD) provides a summary of the current market state without needing to analyze the chart visually.
Bias: Displays the current trend direction (BULLISH or BEARISH).
Momentum:
ACCELERATING: Price is moving away from the baseline (strong trend).
WEAKENING: Price is compressing toward the baseline (potential consolidation or reversal).
Volume: Indicates if the current candle's volume is HIGH or LOW relative to the average.

Bifurcation Early WarningBifurcation Early Warning (BEW) — Chaos Theory Regime Detection
OVERVIEW
The Bifurcation Early Warning indicator applies principles from chaos theory and complex systems research to detect when markets are approaching critical transition points — moments where the current regime is likely to break down and shift to a new state.
Unlike momentum or trend indicators that tell you what is happening, BEW tells you when something is about to change. It provides early warning of regime shifts before they occur, giving traders time to prepare for increased volatility or trend reversals.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT
In complex systems (weather, ecosystems, financial markets), major transitions don't happen randomly. Research has identified three universal warning signals that precede critical transitions:
1. Critical Slowing Down
As a system approaches a tipping point, it becomes "sluggish" — small perturbations take longer to decay. In markets, this manifests as rising autocorrelation in returns.
2. Variance Amplification
Short-term volatility begins expanding relative to longer-term baselines as the system destabilizes.
3. Flickering
The system oscillates between two potential states before committing to one — visible as increased crossing of mean levels.
BEW combines all three signals into a single composite score.
COMPONENTS
AR(1) Coefficient — Critical Slowing Down (Blue)
Measures lag-1 autocorrelation of returns over a rolling window.
• Rising toward 1.0: Market becoming "sticky," slow to mean-revert — transition approaching
• Low values (<0.3): Normal mean-reverting behavior, stable regime
Variance Ratio (Purple)
Compares short-term variance to long-term variance.
• Above 1.5: Short-term volatility expanding — energy building before a move
• Near 1.0: Volatility stable, no unusual pressure
Flicker Count (Yellow/Teal)
Counts state changes (crossings of the dynamic mean) within the lookback period.
• High count: Market oscillating between states — indecision before commitment
• Low count: Price firmly in one regime
INTERPRETING THE BEW SCORE
0–50 (STABLE): Normal market conditions. Existing strategies should perform as expected.
50–70 (WARNING): Elevated instability detected. Consider reducing exposure or tightening risk parameters.
70–85 (DANGER): High probability of regime change. Avoid initiating new positions; widen stops on existing ones.
85+ (CRITICAL): Bifurcation likely imminent or in progress. Expect large, potentially unpredictable moves.
HOW TO USE
As a Regime Filter
• BEW < 50: Normal trading conditions — apply your standard strategies
• BEW > 60: Elevated caution — reduce position sizes, avoid mean-reversion plays
• BEW > 80: High alert — consider staying flat or hedging existing positions
As a Preparation Signal
BEW tells you when to pay attention, not which direction. When readings elevate:
• Watch for confirmation from volume, order flow, or other directional indicators
• Prepare for breakout scenarios in either direction
• Adjust take-profit and stop-loss distances for larger moves
For Volatility Adjustment
High BEW periods correlate with larger candles. Use this to:
• Widen stops during elevated readings
• Adjust position sizing inversely to BEW score
• Set more ambitious profit targets when entering during high-BEW breakouts
Divergence Analysis
• Price making new highs/lows while BEW stays low: Trend likely to continue smoothly
• Price consolidating while BEW rises: Breakout incoming — direction uncertain but move will be significant
SETTINGS GUIDE
Core Settings
• Lookback Period: General reference period (default: 50)
• Source: Price source for calculations (default: close)
Critical Slowing Down (AR1)
• AR(1) Calculation Period: Bars used for autocorrelation (default: 100). Higher = smoother, slower.
• AR(1) Warning Threshold: Level at which AR(1) is considered elevated (default: 0.85)
Variance Growth
• Variance Short Period: Fast variance window (default: 20)
• Variance Long Period: Slow variance window (default: 100)
• Variance Ratio Threshold: Level for maximum score contribution (default: 1.5)
Regime Flickering
• Flicker Detection Period: Window for counting state changes (default: 20)
• Flicker Bandwidth: ATR multiplier for state detection — lower = more sensitive (default: 0.5)
• Flicker Count Threshold: Number of crossings for maximum score (default: 4)
TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS
• 5m–15m: Use shorter periods (AR: 30–50, Var: 10/50). Expect more noise.
• 1H: Balanced performance with default or slightly extended settings (AR: 100, Var: 20/100).
• 4H–Daily: Extend periods further (AR: 100–150, Var: 30/150). Cleaner signals, less frequent.
ALERTS
Three alert conditions are included:
• BEW Warning: Score crosses above 50
• BEW Danger: Score crosses above 70
• BEW Critical: Score crosses above 85
LIMITATIONS
• No directional bias: BEW detects instability, not direction. Combine with trend or momentum indicators.
• Not a timing tool: Elevated readings may persist for several bars before the actual move.
• Parameter sensitive: Optimal settings vary by asset and timeframe. Backtest before live use.
• Leading indicator trade-off: Early warning means some false positives are inevitable.

SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls [PhenLabs]📊 SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls indicator is designed to visualize market volatility and potential reversal zones using advanced statistical modeling. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands that use simple lines, this script utilizes an “Inverted Sigmoid” opacity function to create a “fog of war” effect. This visualizes the density of liquidity: the further price moves from the equilibrium (mean), the “harder” the liquidity wall becomes.
This tool solves the problem of over-trading in low-probability areas. By automatically mapping “Premium” (Resistance) and “Discount” (Support) zones based on Standard Deviation (SD), traders can instantly see when price is overextended. The result is a clean, intuitive overlay that helps you identify high-probability mean reversion setups without cluttering your chart with manual drawings.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Inverted Sigmoid Logic: A custom mathematical function maps Standard Deviation to opacity, creating a realistic “wall” density effect rather than linear gradients.
Dynamic “Solidity”: The indicator is transparent at the center (Equilibrium) and becomes visually solid at the edges, mimicking physical resistance.
Separated Directional Bias: distinct Red (Premium) and Green (Discount) coding helps SMC traders instantly recognize expensive vs. cheap pricing.
Smart “Safe” Deviation: Includes fallback logic to handle calculation errors if deviation hits zero, ensuring the indicator never crashes during data gaps.
🔧 Core Components
Basis Calculation: Uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the market’s equilibrium point.
Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates 1SD, 2SD, and 3SD levels to define the statistical extremes of price action.
Sigmoid Alpha Calculation: Converts the SD distance into a transparency value (0-100) to drive the visual gradient.
🔥 Key Features
Automated Premium/Discount Zones: Red zones indicate overbought (Premium) areas; Green zones indicate oversold (Discount) areas.
Customizable Density: Users can adjust the “Steepness” and “Midpoint” of the sigmoid curve to control how fast the walls become solid.
Integrated Alerts: Built-in alert conditions trigger when price hits the “Solid” wall (2SD or higher), perfect for automated trading or notifications.
Visual Clarity: The center of the chart remains clear (high transparency) to keep focus on price action where it matters most.
🎨 Visualization
Equilibrium Line: A gray line representing the mean price.
Gradient Fills: The space between bands fills with color that increases in opacity as it moves outward.
Premium Wall: Upper zones fade from transparent red to solid red.
Discount Wall: Lower zones fade from transparent green to solid green.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Range Period: Default 20. Controls the lookback period for the SMA and Standard Deviation calculation.
Source: Default Close. The price data used for calculations.
Center Transparency: Default 100 (Clear). Controls how transparent the middle of the chart is.
Edge Transparency: Default 45 (Solid). Controls the opacity of the outermost liquidity wall.
Wall Steepness: Default 2.5. Adjusts how aggressively the gradient transitions from clear to solid.
Wall Start Point: Default 1.5 SD. The deviation level where the gradient shift begins to accelerate.
✅ Best Use Cases
Mean Reversion Trading: Enter trades when price hits the solid 2SD or 3SD wall and shows rejection wicks.
Take Profit Targets: Use the Equilibrium (Gray Line) as a logical first target for reversal trades.
Trend Filtering: Do not initiate new long positions when price is deep inside the Red (Premium) wall.
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature: As a statistical tool based on Moving Averages, the walls react to past price data and may lag during sudden volatility spikes.
Trending Markets: In strong parabolic trends, price can “ride” the bands for extended periods; mean reversion should be used with caution in these conditions.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Physics-Based Visualization: We treat liquidity as a physical barrier that gets denser the deeper you push, rather than just a static line on a chart.
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: The script calculates the mean (SMA) and the Standard Deviation (SD) of the source price.
Step 2: It defines three zones above and below the mean (1SD, 2SD, 3SD).
Step 3: The custom `get_inverted_sigmoid` function calculates an Alpha (transparency) value based on the SD distance.
Step 4: Plot fills are colored dynamically, creating a seamless gradient that hardens at the extremes to visualize the “Liquidity Wall.”
💡 Note
For best results, combine this indicator with Price Action confirmation (such as pin bars or engulfing candles) when price touches the solid walls.
Trinity CCI Pro PlusWhat It Is
Trinity CCI Pro Plus is an innovative overlay indicator that reimagines the classic Commodity Channel Index (CCI) by plotting its levels directly on the price chart. No more separate oscillator panel—instead, you get dynamic price-based bands and lines for instant momentum insights.
What You See on the Chart
Orange line: The CCI zero line (20-period SMA of typical price, hlc3)—acts as the baseline.
Aqua line: Dynamic upper band at CCI = +100 (overbought threshold).
Purple line: Dynamic lower band at CCI = -100 (oversold threshold).
Optional thick purple line: The extra SMA of CCI (14-period smooth) scaled back to price—serves as a signal line for crossovers.
Optional outer zones: ±200 bands (aqua/purple extensions) for extreme momentum levels, often added as dotted or filled areas to spot blow-off tops/bottoms.
Key Differences from Regular CCI
Standard CCI lives in a lower pane with fixed horizontal lines at +100, 0, and -100, forcing you to split your focus. This version overlays everything on price: the bands curve with market volatility, the zero line becomes a moving average, and the extra SMA/signal line integrates seamlessly for price-action trading. Plus, it naturally supports outer ±200 zones without extra coding, making extremes visually pop.
How Traders Use It
Momentum breakouts: Buy when price closes above the +100 aqua band (or +200 for aggressive entries); sell below -100 purple (or -200).
Mean reversion: Fade touches on the bands—take profits if price rejects the +100/-100 levels, or watch for exhaustion at ±200.
Trend bias: Price above orange zero = bullish filter; below = bearish. Use the extra SMA for confirmation (e.g., price crossing above it signals upside).
Crossover signals: Price vs. the thick purple SMA line—bullish above, bearish below—pairs perfectly with band breaks.
Range trading: Treat ±100 bands as dynamic support/resistance; outer ±200 zones highlight potential breakout setups.
This setup shines in trending markets (e.g., stocks or forex on 1H/daily charts), turning CCI into a one-glance channel system. Start with the defaults, add the ±200 and extra SMA via simple code tweaks, and backtest for your style—it's versatile and reduces screen clutter dramatically.
More Info
The 20 period MA is the original and still the most common setting for CCI, and it is exactly what the creator of the CCI, Donald Lambert, published it in 1980 with these exact parameters:
Length: 20 periods
Constant: 0.015 (to make CCI fall between +100 and –100 about 70–80 % of the time)
Typical Price: hlc3 (or sometimes (high + low + close)/3)
Deviation measure: Mean Deviation (not standard deviation)
So the “Trinity CCI Pro Plus” you are using is 100 % faithful to Lambert’s original design when the length is set to 20.
PIVOT AND ICHIMOKU BACKGROUND BY PRANOJIT DEYIt shows pivot bias in relation to day open line and it also shows ichimoku bullish trend background. good for option buyers to understand market bias.
X VFI (LB) w absorptiona variation of the On-Balance Volume (OBV) introduced by Markos Katsanos and further refined by LazyBear, is a robust volume-based momentum oscillator designed to measure the strength and direction of money flow. It utilizes advanced filtering mechanisms to enhance signal quality for active trading environments. This version has added an absorption feature.
Core Functionality and Enhancements
Filtered Volume Flow: The VFI is calculated using the Typical Price (HLC/3) and incorporates filters for Volatility (coef) and Excessive Volume (vcoef). This ensures the indicator responds only to price changes supported by sustained, relevant volume, filtering out market noise and anomalous spikes.
Zero-Line Bias: VFI values above zero indicate net accumulation (bullish flow), while values below zero indicate net distribution (bearish flow).
Signal Line Timing (vfima): The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the VFI acts as the Signal Line. Crossovers between the VFI (fast line) and the Signal Line are primary triggers for trade entries and exits.
Absorption/Distribution Signals
This customized version introduces unique features to visually isolate periods where underlying volume conviction contradicts immediate price action—the most powerful setups for reversals and strong continuations.
Absorption/Distribution Highlighting:
The histogram's color is dynamically changed to highlight hidden buying or selling pressure:
(Absorption Signal): Indicates strong positive VFI momentum occurring on a bearish (down) candle. This signals aggressive buying absorption of supply, where large traders are accumulating positions despite brief selling pressure, often preceding a sharp upward move.
(Distribution Signal): Indicates strong negative VFI momentum occurring on a bullish (up) candle. This signals aggressive selling distribution into demand, where large traders are offloading positions into brief rallies, often preceding a sharp downward move.
Volume-Filtered Conviction: The visual intensity (transparency) of the signal color is adjusted based on a Volume Filter (minVolFilter). Darker, solid colors denote high-conviction signals supported by above-average volume, while transparent colors indicate lower-conviction signals.
Histogram Magnification:
The magnification input allows users to visually increase the height of the histogram bars (e.g., 2x). This enhances the immediate visual recognition of momentum acceleration or deceleration.
PivotBoss VWAP Bands (Auto TF) - FixedWhat this indicator shows (high level)
The indicator plots a VWAP line and three bands above (R1, R2, R3) and three bands below (S1, S2, S3).
Band spacing is computed from STD(abs(VWAP − price), N) and multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 to form R1–R3 / S1–S3. The script is timeframe-aware: on 30m/1H charts it uses Weekly VWAP and weekly bands; on Daily charts it uses Monthly VWAP and monthly bands; otherwise it uses the session/chart VWAP.
VWAP = the market’s volume-weighted average price (a measure of fair value). Bands = volatility-scaled zones around that fair value.
Trading idea — concept summary
VWAP = fair value. Price above VWAP implies bullish bias; below VWAP implies bearish bias.
Bands = graded overbought/oversold zones. R1/S1 are near-term limits, R2/S2 are stronger, R3/S3 are extreme.
Use trend alignment + price action + volume to choose higher-probability trades. VWAP bands give location and magnitude; confirmations reduce false signals.
Entry rules (multiple strategies with examples)
A. Momentum breakout (trend-following) — preferred on trending markets
Setup: Price consolidates near or below R1 and then closes above R1 with above-average volume. Chart: 30m/1H (Weekly VWAP) or Daily (Monthly VWAP) depending on your timeframe.
Entry: Enter long at the close of the breakout bar that closes above R1.
Stop-loss: Place initial stop below the higher of (VWAP or recent swing low). Example: if price broke R1 at ₹1,200 and VWAP = ₹1,150, set stop at ₹1,145 (5 rupee buffer below VWAP) or below the last swing low if that is wider.
Target: Partial target at R2, full target at R3. Trail stop to VWAP or to R1 after price reaches R2.
Example numeric: Weekly VWAP = ₹1,150, R1 = ₹1,200, R2 = ₹1,260. Buy at ₹1,205 (close above R1), stop ₹1,145, target1 ₹1,260 (R2), target2 ₹1,320 (R3).
B. Mean-reversion fade near bands — for range-bound markets
Setup: Market is not trending (VWAP flatish). Price rallies up to R2 or R3 and shows rejection (pin bar, bearish engulfing) on increasing or neutral volume.
Entry: Enter short after a confirmed rejection candle that fails to sustain above R2 or R3 (prefer confirmation: close back below R1 or below the rejection candle low).
Stop-loss: Just above the recent high (e.g., 1–2 ATR or a fixed buffer above R2/R3).
Target: First target VWAP, second target S1. Reduce size if taking R3 fade as it’s an extreme.
Example numeric: VWAP = ₹950, R2 = ₹1,020. Price spikes to ₹1,025 and forms a bearish engulfing candle. Enter short at ₹1,015 after the next close below ₹1,020. Stop at ₹1,035, target VWAP ₹950.
C. Pullback entries in trending markets — higher probability
Setup: Price is above VWAP and trending higher (higher highs and higher lows). Price pulls back toward VWAP or S1 with decreasing downside volume and a reversal candle forms.
Entry: Long when price forms a bullish reversal (hammer/inside-bar) with a close back above the pullback candle.
Stop-loss: Below the pullback low (or below S2 if a larger stop is justified).
Target: VWAP then R1; if momentum resumes, trail toward R2/R3.
Example numeric: Price trending above Weekly VWAP at ₹1,400; pullback to S1 at ₹1,360. Enter long at ₹1,370 when a bullish candle closes; stop at ₹1,350; first target VWAP ₹1,400, second target R1 ₹1,450.

Basic exit hierarchy
Hard stop exit — when price hits initial stop-loss. Always use.
Target exit — take partial profits at R1/R2 (for longs) or S1/S2 (for shorts). Use trailing stops for the remainder.
VWAP invalidation — if you entered long above VWAP and price returns and closes significantly below VWAP, consider exiting (condition depends on timeframe and trade size).
Price action exit — reversal patterns (strong opposite candle, bearish/bullish engulfing) near targets or beyond signals to exit.
Trailing rules
After price reaches R2, move stop to breakeven + a small buffer or to VWAP.
After price reaches R3, trail by 1 ATR or lock a defined profit percentage.
Position sizing & risk
Risk per trade: commonly 0.5–2% of account equity.
Determine position size by RiskAmount ÷ (EntryPrice − StopPrice).
If the stop distance is large (e.g., trading R3 fades), reduce position size.
Filters & confirmation (to reduce false signals)
Volume filter: For breakouts, require volume above short-term average (e.g., >20-period average). Breakouts on low volume are suspect.
Trend filter: Only take breakouts in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend (for example, use Daily/Weekly trend when trading 30m/1H).
Candle confirmation: Prefer entries on close of the confirming candle (not intrabar noise).
Multiple confirmations: When R1 break happens but RSI/plotted momentum indicator does not confirm, treat signal as lower probability.
Special considerations for timeframe-aware logic
On 30m/1H the script uses Weekly VWAP/bands. That means band levels change only on weekly candles — they are strong, structural levels. Treat R1/R2/R3 as significant and expect fewer, stronger signals.
On Daily, the script uses Monthly VWAP/bands. These are wider; trades should allow larger stops and smaller position sizes (or be used for swing trades).
On other intraday charts you get session VWAP (useful for intraday scalps).
Example: If you trade 1H and the Weekly R1 is at ₹2,400 while session VWAP is ₹2,350, a close above Weekly R1 represents a weekly-level breakout — prefer that for swing entries rather than scalps.
Example trade walkthrough (step-by-step)
Context: 1H chart, auto-mapped → Weekly VWAP used.
Weekly VWAP = ₹3,000; R1 = ₹3,080; R2 = ₹3,150.
Price consolidates below R1. A large bullish candle closes at ₹3,085 with volume 40% above the 20-bar average.
Entry: Buy at close ₹3,085.
Stop: Place stop at ₹2,995 (just under Weekly VWAP). Risk = ₹90.
Position size: If risking ₹900 per trade → size = 900 ÷ 90 = 10 units.
Targets: Partial take-profit at R2 = ₹3,150; rest trailed with stop moved to breakeven after R2 is hit.
If price reverses and closes below VWAP within two bars, exit immediately to limit drawdown.
When to avoid trading these signals
High-impact news (earnings, macro announcements) that can gap through bands unpredictably.
Thin markets with low volume — VWAP loses significance when volumes are extremely low.
When weekly/monthly bands are flat but intraday price is volatile without clear structure — prefer session VWAP on smaller timeframes.
Alerts & automation suggestions
Alert on close above R1 / below S1 (use the built-in alertcondition the script adds). For higher-confidence alerts, require volume filter in the alert condition.
Automated order rules (if you automate): use limit entry at breakout close plus a small slippage buffer, immediate stop order, and OCO for TP and SL.
jhehli LiquidityWhat are BSL and SSL?
In the context of Smart Money Concepts, liquidity simply refers to pending orders—specifically Stop Losses and Buy/Sell Stop orders—resting above old highs and below old lows.
BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity): This is found above Swing Highs. Retail traders who are short the market will place their "Buy Stop" protective orders here. Additionally, breakout traders place "Buy Limit" orders here. Smart Money views this area as a pool of willing buyers. To fill large sell orders, institutions must drive price up into this liquidity to pair their massive sell interest with these buy stops.
SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity): This is found below Swing Lows. Retail traders who are long the market place their "Sell Stop" protective orders here. Smart Money targets these levels to accumulate long positions. They need the market to sell off into these levels so they can buy from the willing sellers at a discount.
How this Indicator Works
This tool automates the process of market structure analysis by identifying key Swing Highs and Swing Lows.
Detection: It scans price action to find fractal highs and lows (classic swing points) where price has rejected a level.
Visualization: It projects a line from these points, clearly marking where the "stops" are likely residing.
Liquidity Raids: When price pierces these levels, it is considered a "Liquidity Raid" or "Stop Hunt."
How to Use This in Your Trading
Do not treat these lines simply as Support and Resistance. In the ICT methodology, old highs and lows are targets, not barriers.
For Reversals: Wait for a "Turtle Soup" or "Judas Swing." This occurs when price aggressively expands into a BSL or SSL level to trigger stops, only to quickly reverse back into the trading range. This indicates that Smart Money has finished their accumulation or distribution.
For Bias: If the higher timeframe trend is Bullish, expect SSL to be raided to fuel the move, while BSL becomes the target (Draw on Liquidity).
By using this indicator, you remove the guesswork of manually marking every swing point, allowing you to focus on price action and the reaction at these critical liquidity pools.
