Scout Regiment - KSI# Scout Regiment - KSI Indicator
## English Documentation
### Overview
Scout Regiment - KSI (Key Stochastic Indicators) is a comprehensive momentum oscillator that combines three powerful technical indicators - RSI, CCI, and Williams %R - into a single, unified display. This multi-indicator approach provides traders with diverse perspectives on market momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversal points through advanced divergence detection.
### What is KSI?
KSI stands for "Key Stochastic Indicators" - a composite momentum indicator that:
- Displays multiple oscillators normalized to a 0-100 scale
- Uses standardized bands (20/50/80) for consistent interpretation
- Combines RSI for trend, CCI for cycle, and Williams %R for reversal detection
- Provides enhanced divergence detection specifically for RSI

### Best Practices
#### Choosing Which Indicators to Display
**For Beginners:**
- Use RSI only
- Enable background color and labels
- Focus on 50-level crossovers
- Simple and effective
**For Intermediate Traders:**
- RSI + Regular Divergence
- Add CCI for confirmation
- Use dual perspectives
- Better accuracy
**For Advanced Traders:**
- All three indicators
- Full divergence detection
- Multi-timeframe analysis
- Maximum information
#### Oscillator Priority
**Primary**: RSI (22)
- Most reliable
- Best divergence detection
- Good for all timeframes
- Use this as your main decision maker
**Secondary**: CCI (33/77)
- Adds cycle analysis
- Great for confirmation
- Dual-period crossovers valuable
- Use to confirm RSI signals
**Tertiary**: Williams %R (28)
- Extreme readings useful
- More volatile
- Best for short-term
- Use sparingly for extra confirmation
#### Timeframe Considerations
**Lower Timeframes (1m-15m):**
- More signals, less reliable
- Use tight divergence parameters
- Focus on RSI crossovers
- Quick entries and exits
**Medium Timeframes (30m-4H):**
- Balanced signal frequency
- Default settings work well
- Best for divergence trading
- Swing trading optimal
**Higher Timeframes (Daily+):**
- Fewer but stronger signals
- Widen divergence ranges
- All indicators more reliable
- Position trading best
#### Divergence Trading Tips
1. **Wait for Confirmation**
- Divergence alone isn't enough
- Need price structure break
- Volume helps validate
2. **Best at Extremes**
- Divergences near 80/20 levels most reliable
- Mid-level divergences often fail
- Combine with support/resistance
3. **Multiple Divergences**
- Second divergence stronger than first
- Third divergence extremely powerful
- Watch for "triple divergence"
4. **Timeframe Alignment**
- Check higher timeframe for direction
- Trade divergences in direction of larger trend
- Counter-trend divergences riskier
### Indicator Combinations
**With Moving Averages:**
- Use EMAs (21/55/144) for trend
- KSI for entry timing
- Enter when both align
**With Volume:**
- Volume confirms breakouts
- Divergence + volume divergence = Stronger
- Low volume at extremes = Reversal likely
**With Support/Resistance:**
- Price levels for targets
- KSI for entry timing
- Divergences at levels = Highest probability
**With Bias Indicator:**
- Bias shows price deviation
- KSI shows momentum
- Both diverging = Strong reversal signal
**With OBV Indicator:**
- OBV shows volume trend
- KSI shows price momentum
- Volume/momentum divergence powerful
### Common Patterns
1. **Bullish Reversal**: All oscillators oversold + RSI bullish divergence
2. **Bearish Reversal**: All oscillators overbought + RSI bearish divergence
3. **Trend Acceleration**: RSI > 50, both CCIs rising, Williams %R not extreme
4. **Weakening Trend**: RSI declining while price rising (pre-divergence warning)
5. **Strong Trend**: All oscillators stay above/below 50 for extended period
6. **Consolidation**: Oscillators crossing 50 frequently without extremes
7. **Exhaustion**: Multiple oscillators at extreme + hidden divergence failure
### Performance Tips
- Start simple: RSI only
- Add indicators gradually as you learn
- Disable unused features for cleaner charts
- Use labels strategically (not always on)
- Test different RSI lengths for your market
- Adjust divergence parameters based on volatility
### Alert Conditions
The indicator includes alerts for:

Scout Regiment - OBV# Scout Regiment - OBV Indicator
## English Documentation
### Overview
Scout Regiment - OBV (On-Balance Volume) is an advanced momentum indicator that combines volume and price movement to identify the strength of buying and selling pressure. This indicator features an oscillator-based approach with divergence detection to help traders spot potential trend reversals and confirm price movements.
### What is OBV?
On-Balance Volume (OBV) is a cumulative volume indicator that adds volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days:
- **Rising OBV**: Accumulation (buying pressure)
- **Falling OBV**: Distribution (selling pressure)
- **OBV Oscillator**: The difference between OBV and its smoothed moving average, making divergences easier to spot
### Key Features
#### 1. **OBV Oscillator Display**
Instead of displaying raw OBV values, this indicator shows the oscillator (difference between OBV and its smoothed line):
**Benefits:**
- Easier to identify divergences
- Clearer trend changes
- More sensitive to momentum shifts
- Zero line as reference point
**Visual Elements:**
- **Step Line**: Main OBV oscillator line
- Green: Positive oscillator (accumulation)
- Red: Negative oscillator (distribution)
- **Histogram**: Visual representation of oscillator strength
- Green bars: Above zero line
- Red bars: Below zero line
- **Zero Line**: White dotted horizontal line as reference
#### 2. **Smoothing Options**
Choose from multiple moving average types to smooth the OBV:
- **None**: Raw OBV (most sensitive)
- **SMA**: Simple Moving Average (equal weight)
- **EMA**: Exponential Moving Average (recent price emphasis) - Default
- **SMMA (RMA)**: Smoothed Moving Average (very smooth)
- **WMA**: Weighted Moving Average (linear weight)
- **VWMA**: Volume Weighted Moving Average (volume emphasis)
**Default Settings:**
- Type: EMA
- Length: 21 periods
- Best for: Most market conditions
#### 3. **Multi-Timeframe Analysis**
- Calculate OBV on any timeframe
- View higher timeframe momentum on lower timeframe charts
- Align trades with larger timeframe volume trends
- Empty field = Current chart timeframe
#### 4. **Visual Enhancements**
**Background Color**
- Light green: Positive oscillator (bullish volume pressure)
- Light red: Negative oscillator (bearish volume pressure)
- Optional display for cleaner charts
**Crossover Labels**
- "突破" (Breakout): When oscillator crosses above zero
- "跌破" (Breakdown): When oscillator crosses below zero
- Indicates potential trend changes
- Can be toggled on/off

**Exit:**
- Take profit at next major support/resistance
- Or when opposite divergence appears
**Best For:** Swing trading, reversal trading
#### Strategy 2: Hidden Divergence Continuation
**Setup:**
1. Clear trend established
2. Price pulls back (retracement)
3. Hidden divergence appears
**Entry:**
- Bullish: After "隐藏看涨" label, when price resumes uptrend
- Bearish: After "隐藏看跌" label, when price resumes downtrend
**Stop Loss:**
- Behind the pullback swing point
**Exit:**
- Trail stop as trend continues
- Exit on regular divergence (reversal signal)
**Best For:** Trend following, adding to positions
#### Strategy 3: Zero Line Crossover

3. Confirm with price structure break
**Entry:**
- "突破" label = Buy signal
- "跌破" label = Sell signal
**Stop Loss:**
- Below/above recent swing
**Exit:**
- When oscillator crosses back over zero
- Or at predetermined target
**Best For:** Momentum trading, quick trades
#### Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Confluence
**Setup:**
1. Set indicator to higher timeframe (e.g., 4H on 1H chart)
2. Wait for higher TF oscillator to be positive (uptrend) or negative (downtrend)
3. Look for entries on current timeframe aligned with higher TF
**Entry:**
- Long: When both timeframes show positive oscillator or bullish divergence
- Short: When both timeframes show negative oscillator or bearish divergence
**Stop Loss:**
- Based on current timeframe structure
**Exit:**
- When higher timeframe oscillator turns negative (for longs) or positive (for shorts)
**Best For:** Swing trading, high-probability setups
### Best Practices
#### Volume Analysis
1. **Strong Moves Need Volume**
- Price increase + Rising OBV = Healthy uptrend
- Price increase + Falling OBV = Weak uptrend (warning)
2. **Watch for Confirmation**
- New highs with new OBV highs = Confirmed
- New highs without new OBV highs = Potential divergence
3. **Consider Context**
- Low volume periods (Asian session, holidays) = Less reliable
- High volume periods (News, London/NY overlap) = More reliable
#### Divergence Trading Tips
1. **Not All Divergences Work**
- Wait for price confirmation
- Stronger in oversold/overbought areas
- Better at support/resistance levels
2. **Multiple Divergences**
- Multiple divergences on same trend = Stronger signal
- Quick divergence failures = Ignore and wait for next
3. **Timeframe Matters**
- Higher timeframe divergences = More reliable
- Lower timeframe divergences = More frequent, less reliable
#### Smoothing Selection
1. **No Smoothing (None)**
- Most sensitive, more signals
- More noise, more false signals
- Best for: Scalping, very active trading
2. **EMA (Default)**
- Balanced approach
- Good for most strategies
- Best for: Swing trading, day trading
3. **SMMA (RMA)**
- Very smooth, fewer signals
- Less responsive to sudden changes
- Best for: Position trading, longer timeframes
### Indicator Combinations
**With Moving Averages:**
- Use EMAs for trend direction
- OBV for volume confirmation
- Enter when both align
**With RSI:**
- RSI for overbought/oversold
- OBV for volume confirmation
- Divergences on both = Stronger signal
**With Price Action:**
- Support/resistance for levels
- OBV for strength confirmation
- Breakouts with positive OBV = More likely to succeed
**With Bias Indicator:**
- Bias for price deviation
- OBV for volume confirmation
- Both showing divergence = High probability reversal
### Common Patterns
1. **Accumulation**: OBV rising while price consolidates (breakout likely)
2. **Distribution**: OBV falling while price consolidates (breakdown likely)
3. **Confirmation**: OBV and price both making new highs/lows (trend strong)
4. **Divergence**: OBV and price moving opposite directions (reversal warning)
5. **False Breakout**: Price breaks but OBV doesn't confirm (likely to fail)
### Performance Tips

### 最佳实践
#### 成交量分析
1. **强势波动需要成交量**
- 价格上涨 + 上升的OBV = 健康上升趋势
- 价格上涨 + 下降的OBV = 弱上升趋势（警告）
2. **注意确认**
- 新高伴随新OBV高点 = 已确认
- 新高没有新OBV高点 = 潜在背离
3. **考虑背景**
- 低成交量期（亚洲时段、假期）= 可靠性较低
- 高成交量期（新闻、伦敦/纽约重叠）= 更可靠
#### 背离交易技巧
1. **不是所有背离都有效**
- 等待价格确认
- 在超卖/超买区域更强
- 在支撑/阻力水平更好
2. **多重背离**
- 同一趋势上多个背离 = 更强信号
- 背离快速失败 = 忽略并等待下一个
3. **时间框架重要**
- 更高时间框架背离 = 更可靠
- 更低时间框架背离 = 更频繁，可靠性较低
#### 平滑选择
1. **无平滑（None）**
- 最敏感，更多信号
- 更多噪音，更多假信号
- 适合：剥头皮、非常活跃的交易
2. **EMA（默认）**
- 平衡方法
- 适合大多数策略
- 适合：波段交易、日内交易
3. **SMMA (RMA)**
- 非常平滑，更少信号
- 对突然变化响应较慢
- 适合：仓位交易、更长时间框架
### 指标组合
**与移动平均线配合：**
- 使用EMA确定趋势方向
- OBV确认成交量
- 两者一致时进入
**与RSI配合：**
- RSI用于超买超卖
- OBV用于成交量确认
- 两者都背离 = 更强信号
**与价格行为配合：**
- 支撑/阻力确定水平
- OBV确认强度
- 正OBV的突破 = 更可能成功
**与Bias指标配合：**
- Bias用于价格偏离
- OBV用于成交量确认
- 两者都显示背离 = 高概率反转
### 常见形态
1. **积累**：OBV上升而价格盘整（突破可能）
2. **派发**：OBV下降而价格盘整（跌破可能）
3. **确认**：OBV和价格都创新高/新低（趋势强劲）
4. **背离**：OBV和价格反向移动（反转警告）

CandelaCharts - Trend Oscillator 📝 Overview
Trend Oscillator is a simple yet effective trend identification tool that uses the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to determine market direction. It calculates the spread between a fast and slow EMA, applies a bias multiplier, and smooths the result to produce a clean oscillator that oscillates above and below a zero line. When the oscillator is above zero, the trend is considered bullish (upward); when below zero, it's bearish (downward). The indicator provides clear visual feedback through color-coded plots and optional price bar coloring, making it easy to identify trend direction at a glance.
📦 Features
This section highlights the core capabilities you'll rely on most.
Dual EMA system — Uses a fast EMA (default 9) and slow EMA (default 21) to capture trend momentum and direction.
Bias multiplier — Applies a small multiplier (default 1.001) to the EMA spread, providing a slight bias that helps filter noise and confirm trend strength.
Smoothed output — Applies an additional EMA smoothing (default 5 periods) to the raw spread, creating a cleaner, less choppy oscillator line.
Zero-line reference — Plots a horizontal zero line that serves as the critical threshold between bullish and bearish conditions.
Color-coded visualization — Automatically colors the oscillator line green/lime when bullish (above zero) and red when bearish (below zero).
Price bar coloring — Optional feature to color price bars based on the current trend direction, providing immediate visual context on the main chart.
Customizable parameters — Adjust EMA lengths, bias multiplier, smoothing period, and colors to match your trading style and timeframe.
⚙️ Settings
Use these controls to fine-tune the oscillator's sensitivity, appearance, and behavior.
Fast EMA Length — Period for the fast exponential moving average (default: 9). Lower values make the indicator more responsive to price changes.
Slow EMA Length — Period for the slow exponential moving average (default: 21). Higher values create a smoother baseline for trend identification.
Bias Multiplier — Multiplier applied to the EMA spread (default: 1.001). Small adjustments can help filter minor whipsaws and confirm trend strength.
Smoothing Length — Period for smoothing the raw spread calculation (default: 5). Higher values create a smoother oscillator line but may lag price action.
Colors — Set the bullish (default: lime) and bearish (default: red) colors for the oscillator line.
Color Price Bars — Toggle to enable/disable coloring of price bars based on the current trend direction.

📒 Usage
Follow these steps to effectively use Trend Oscillator for trend identification and trading decisions.
1) Select your timeframe — The indicator works across all timeframes, but higher timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly) typically provide more reliable trend signals with less noise. Lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) may produce more frequent but potentially less reliable signals. Consider your trading style: swing traders benefit from daily/weekly charts, while day traders can use 15m/1h timeframes. Always align the indicator's sensitivity with your timeframe choice.
2) Adjust EMA lengths — The default 9/21 combination works well for most cases. For faster signals, try 5/13; for slower, more conservative signals, try 12/26 or 20/50. Match the lengths to your trading style and timeframe.
3) Interpret the zero line — When the oscillator is above zero (green/lime), the trend is bullish. When below zero (red), the trend is bearish. The further from zero, the stronger the trend.
4) Watch for crossovers — Trend changes occur when the oscillator crosses the zero line. A cross from below to above indicates a shift to bullish; from above to below indicates a shift to bearish.
5) Identify divergences — Divergences can signal potential trend reversals. Bullish divergence : price makes lower lows while the oscillator makes higher lows (suggests weakening bearish momentum). Bearish divergence : price makes higher highs while the oscillator makes lower highs (suggests weakening bullish momentum). Divergences are most reliable when they occur near extreme levels and should be confirmed with price action before taking trades.
6) Use smoothing wisely — The smoothing parameter helps reduce noise but adds lag. Lower smoothing (3-5) is more responsive; higher smoothing (7-10) is more stable but slower to react.
7) Combine with price action — Use the oscillator to confirm trend direction, then look for entry opportunities when price pulls back in the direction of the trend. The optional price bar coloring helps visualize trend alignment on the main chart.
8) Filter with bias multiplier — The bias multiplier can help reduce false signals. Experiment with values between 1.000 and 1.005 to find the sweet spot for your instrument and timeframe.

BB SPY Mean Reversion Investment StrategySummary
Mean reversion first, continuation second. This strategy targets equities and ETFs on daily timeframes. It waits for price to revert from a Bollinger location with candle and EMA agreement, then manages risk with ATR based exits. Uniqueness comes from two elements working together. One, an adaptive band multiplier driven by volatility of volatility that expands or contracts the envelope as conditions change. Two, a bias memory that re arms the same direction after any stop, target, or time exit until a true opposite signal appears. Add it to a clean chart, use the markers and levels, and select on bar close for conservative alerts. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Currently adapted for SPY, needs to be optimized for other assets
• Timeframes. Daily primary. Other frames are possible but not the default
• Default demo. SPY on daily
• Purpose. Trade mean reversion entries that can chain into a longer swing by splitting holds into ATR or time segments
Originality and usefulness
• Novelty. Adaptive band width from volatility of volatility plus a persistent bias array that keeps the original direction alive across sequential entries until an opposite setup is confirmed
• Failure modes mitigated. False starts in chop are reduced by candle color and EMA location. Missed continuation after a take profit or stop is addressed by the re arm engine. Oversized envelopes during quiet regimes are avoided by the adaptive multiplier
• Testability. Every module has Inputs and visible levels so users can see why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. All risk and targets are expressed in ATR units
Method overview in plain language
The engine measures where price sits relative to Bollinger bands, confirms with candle color and EMA location, requires ADX for shorts(in our case long close since we use it currently as long only), and optionally requires a trend or mean reversion regime using band width percent rank and basis slope. Risk uses ATR for stop, target, and optional breakeven. A small array stores the last confirmed direction. While flat, the engine keeps a pending order in that direction. The array flips only when a true opposite setup appears.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a user defined ATR Length
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Bollinger envelope. SMA length and standard deviation multiplier. Entry is based on cross of close through the band with location bias
• Candle and EMA filter. Close relative to open and close relative to EMA align direction
• ADX gate for shorts. Requires minimum trend strength for short trades
• Adaptive multiplier. Band width scales using volatility of volatility so envelopes breathe with conditions
• Regime gate optional. Band width percent rank and basis slope identify trend or mean reversion regimes
• Risk manager. ATR stop, ATR target, optional breakeven, optional time exit
• Bias memory. Array stores last confirmed direction and re arms entries while flat
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates count style. All required gates must be true. Optional gates are controlled in Inputs. Bias memory never overrides an opposite confirmed setup.
Signal rule
• Long setup when close crosses up through the lower band, the bar closes green, and close is above the long EMA
• Short setup when close crosses down through the upper band, the bar closes red, close is below the short EMA, and ADX is above the minimum
• While flat the model keeps a pending order in the stored direction until a true opposite setup appears
• IN LONG or IN SHORT describes states between entry and exit
What you will see on the chart
• Markers for Long and Short setups
• Exit markers from ATR or time rules
• Reference levels for entry, stop, and target
• Bollinger bands and optional adaptive bands
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
• Invert direction optional. Flips long and short
Logic
• BB Length. Typical 10 to 50. Higher smooths more
• BB Mult. Typical 1.0 to 2.5. Higher widens entries
• EMA Length long. Typical 10 to 50
• EMA Length short. Typical 5 to 30
• ADX Minimum for short. Typical 15 to 35
Filters
• Regime Type. none or trend or mean reversion
• Rank Lookback. Typical 100 to 300
• Basis Slope Length and Threshold. Larger values reduce false trends
Risk
• ATR Length. Typical 10 to 21
• ATR Stop Mult. Typical 1.0 to 3.0
• ATR Take Profit Mult. Typical 2.0 to 5.0
• Breakeven Trigger R. Move stop to entry after the chosen multiple
• Time Exit. Minimum bars and extension when profit exceeds a fraction of ATR
Bias and rearm
• Bias flips kept. Array depth
• Keep rearm when flat. Maintain a pending order while flat
UI
• Show markers and levels. Clean defaults
Usage recipes
Alerts update in real time and can change while the bar forms. Select on bar close for conservative workflows.

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Costs and fills vary by venue. Shapes can move intrabar and settle on close. Strategies use standard candles only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact releases and thin liquidity can break assumptions. Gap heavy symbols may require larger ATR. Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast in the mean reversion signal. If stop and target can both be touched inside one bar, outcome follows the TradingView order model for that bar path.
Regimes with extreme one sided trend and very low volatility can reduce mean reversion edges. Results vary by symbol and venue. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Open source reuse and credits
None.
Backtest realism
Costs are realistic for liquid equities. Sizing does not exceed five percent per trade by default. Any departure should be justified by the user.

Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) - Advanced SMC [PhenLabs]📊Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI)
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) is an advanced Smart Money Concepts implementation that tracks institutional trading behavior through multi-dimensional analysis. This comprehensive indicator combines volume-validated Order Block detection, Fair Value Gap identification with auto-mitigation tracking, dynamic Liquidity Zone mapping, and Break of Structure/Change of Character detection into a unified system.
Unlike basic SMC indicators, SMFI employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that weighs five critical factors: Order Block strength (validated by volume), Fair Value Gap size and recency, proximity to Liquidity Zones, market structure alignment (BOS/CHoCH), and multi-timeframe confluence. This produces a Smart Money Score (0-100) where readings above 70 represent optimal institutional setup conditions.
🚀Points of Innovation
Volume-Validated Order Block Detection – Only displays Order Blocks when formation candle exceeds customizable volume multiplier (default 1.5x average), filtering weak zones and highlighting true institutional accumulation/distribution
Auto-Mitigation Tracking System – Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks automatically update status when price mitigates them, with visual distinction between active and filled zones preventing trades on dead levels
Proprietary Smart Money Score Algorithm – Combines weighted factors (OB strength 25%, FVG proximity 20%, Liquidity 20%, Structure 20%, MTF 15%) into single 0-100 confidence rating updating in real-time
ATR-Based Adaptive Calculations – All distance measurements use 14-period Average True Range ensuring consistent function across any instrument, timeframe, or volatility regime without manual recalibration
Dynamic Age Filtering – Automatically removes liquidity levels and FVGs older than configurable thresholds preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant levels
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Integration – Analyzes higher timeframe bias with customizable multipliers (2-10x) and incorporates HTF trend direction into Smart Money Score for institutional alignment
🔧Core Components
Order Block Engine – Detects institutional supply/demand zones using characteristic patterns (down-move-then-strong-up for bullish, up-move-then-strong-down for bearish) with minimum volume threshold validation, tracks mitigation when price closes through zones
Fair Value Gap Scanner – Identifies price imbalances where current candle's low/high leaves gap with two-candle-prior high/low, filters by minimum size percentage, monitors 50% fill for mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapper – Uses pivot high/low detection with configurable lookback to mark swing points where stop losses cluster, extends horizontal lines to visualize sweep targets, manages lifecycle through age-based removal
Market Structure Analyzer – Tracks pivot progression to identify trend through higher-highs/higher-lows (bullish) or lower-highs/lower-lows (bearish), detects Break of Structure and Change of Character for trend/reversal confirmation
Scoring Calculation Engine – Evaluates proximity to nearest Order Blocks using ATR-normalized distance, assesses FVG recency and distance, calculates liquidity proximity with age weighting, combines structure bias and MTF trend into smoothed final score
🔥Key Features
Customizable Display Limits – Control maximum Order Blocks (1-10), Liquidity Zones (1-10), and FVG age (10-200 bars) to maintain clean charts focused on most relevant institutional levels
Gradient Strength Visualization – All zones render with transparency-adjustable coloring where stronger/newer zones appear more solid and weaker/older zones fade progressively providing instant visual hierarchy
Educational Label System – Optional labels identify each zone type (Bullish OB, Bearish OB, Bullish FVG, Bearish FVG, BOS) with color-coded text helping traders learn SMC concepts through practical application
Real-Time Smart Money Score Dashboard – Top-right table displays current score (0-100) with color coding (green >70, yellow 30-70, red <30) plus trend arrow for at-a-glance confidence assessment
Comprehensive Alert Suite – Configurable notifications for Order Block formation, Fair Value Gap detection, Break of Structure events, Change of Character signals, and high Smart Money Score readings (>70)
Buy/Sell Signal Integration – Automatically plots triangle markers when Smart Money Score exceeds 70 with aligned market structure and fresh Order Block detection providing clear entry signals
🎨Visualization
Order Block Boxes – Shaded rectangles extend from formation bar spanning high-to-low of institutional candle, bullish zones in green, bearish in red, with customizable transparency (80-98%)
Fair Value Gap Zones – Rectangular areas marking imbalances, active FVGs display in bright colors with adjustable transparency, mitigated FVGs switch to gray preventing trades on filled zones
Liquidity Level Lines – Dashed horizontal lines extend from pivot creation points, swing highs in bearish color (short targets above), swing lows in bullish color (long targets below), opacity decreases with age
Structure Labels – "BOS" labels appear above/below price when Break of Structure confirmed, colored by direction (green bullish, red bearish), positioned at 1% beyond highs/lows for visibility

Fair Value Gap Retracement Trading – When price creates FVG during strong move then retraces, enter as price approaches unfilled gap expecting institutional orders to continue trend
Liquidity Sweep Reversals – Monitor price approaching swing high/low liquidity zones against prevailing Smart Money Score trend, after stop hunt sweep watch for rejection into premium Order Block/FVG
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Setups – Identify alignment when current timeframe Order Block coincides with higher timeframe FVG plus MTF analysis showing matching trend bias
Break of Structure Continuations – After BOS confirms trend direction, trade pullbacks to nearest Order Block or FVG in direction of structure break using Smart Money Score >70 as entry filter
Change of Character Reversal Plays – When CHoCH detected indicating potential reversal, look for Smart Money Score pivot with opposing Order Block formation then enter on structure confirmation
⚠️Limitations
Lagging Pivot Calculations – Pivot-based features (Liquidity Zones, Market Structure) require bars to right of pivot for confirmation, meaning these elements identify levels retrospectively with delay equal to lookback period
Whipsaw in Ranging Markets – During choppy conditions, Order Blocks fail frequently and structure breaks produce false signals as Smart Money Score fluctuates without clear institutional bias, best used in trending markets
Volume Data Dependency – Order Block volume validation requires accurate volume data which may be incomplete on Forex pairs or limited in crypto exchange feeds
Subjectivity in Scoring Weights – Proprietary 25-20-20-20-15 weighting reflects general institutional behavior but may not optimize for specific instruments or market regimes, user cannot adjust factor weights
Visual Complexity on Lower Timeframes – Sub-hour timeframes generate excessive zones creating cluttered charts, requires aggressive display limit reduction and higher minimum thresholds
No Fundamental Integration – Indicator analyzes purely technical price action and volume without incorporating economic events, news catalysts, or fundamental shifts that override technical levels
💡What Makes This Unique
Unified SMC Ecosystem – Unlike indicators displaying Order Blocks OR FVGs OR Liquidity separately, SMFI combines all three institutional concepts plus market structure into single cohesive system
Proprietary Confidence Scoring – Rather than manual setup assessment, automated Smart Money Score quantifies probability by weighting five institutional dimensions into actionable 0-100 rating
Volume-Filtered Quality – Eliminates weak Order Blocks forming without institutional volume confirmation, ensuring displayed zones represent genuine accumulation/distribution
Adaptive Lifecycle Management – Automatically updates mitigation status and removes aged zones preventing trades on dead levels through continuous validity and age monitoring
Educational Integration – Built-in tooltips, labeled zones, and reference panel make indicator functional for both learning Smart Money Concepts and executing strategies
🔬How It Works
Order Block Detection – Scans for patterns where strong directional move follows counter-move creating last down-candle before rally (bullish OB) or last up-candle before sell-off (bearish OB), validates formations only when candle exhibits volume exceeding configurable multiple (default 1.5x) of 20-bar average volume
Fair Value Gap Identification – Compares current candle’s high/low against two-candles-prior low/high to detect price imbalances, calculates gap size as percentage of close and filters micro-gaps below minimum threshold (default 0.3%), monitors whether subsequent price fills 50% triggering mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapping – Employs pivot detection using configurable lookback (default 50 bars) to identify swing highs/lows where retail stops cluster, extends horizontal reference lines from pivot creation and applies age-based filtering to remove stale zones
Market Structure Analysis – Tracks pivot progression using structure-specific lookback (default 5 bars) to determine trend, confirms uptrend when new pivot high exceeds previous by minimum move percentage, detects Break of Structure when price breaks recent pivot level, flags Change of Character for potential reversals
Multi-Timeframe Confluence – When enabled, requests security data from higher timeframe (current TF × HTF multiplier, default 4x), compares HTF close against HTF 20-period MA to determine bias, contributes ±50 points to score ensuring alignment with institutional positioning on superior timeframe
Smart Money Score Calculation – Evaluates Order Block component via ATR-normalized distance producing max 100-point contribution weighted at 25%, assesses FVG factor through age penalty and distance at 20% weight, calculates Liquidity proximity at 20%, incorporates structure bias (±50-100 points) at 20%, adds MTF component at 15%, applies 3-period smoothing to reduce volatility
Visual Rendering and Lifecycle – Draws Order Block boxes, Fair Value Gap rectangles with color coding (green/red active, gray mitigated), extends liquidity dashed lines with fade-by-age opacity, plots BOS labels, displays Smart Money Score dashboard, continuously updates checking mitigation conditions and removing elements exceeding age/display limits
💡Note:
The Smart Money Flow Index combines multiple Smart Money Concepts into unified institutional order flow analysis. For optimal results, use the Smart Money Score as confluence filter rather than standalone entry signal – scores above 70 indicate high-probability setups but should be combined with risk management, higher timeframe bias, and market regime understanding.
Directional Volume Cloud MTFThe Directional Volume Cloud MTF transforms raw volume into a visually intuitive cloud histogram that highlights directional bias and exhaustion zones.
🔍 Core Logic
- Volume bias is calculated using candle direction (bullish/bearish) and smoothed via EMA.
- Bias strength is normalized against average volume to produce a ratio from -1 to +1.
- Color and opacity dynamically reflect bias direction and strength — pale clouds indicate weak volume, while vivid clouds signal strong conviction.
Features
- Customizable bullish/bearish colors
- Dynamic opacity based on volume strength
- Declining volume signals for potential reversals
- Multi-timeframe bias overlay (e.g., daily bias on intraday chart)
📈 Use Cases
- Spot volume exhaustion before reversals
- Confirm breakout strength with bias intensity
- Compare short-term vs long-term volume pressure
Whether you're scalping intraday moves or validating swing setups, this cloud-based volume heatmap offers a clean, modular way to visualize market conviction.
USD Session 8FX - LDN & NY (TF-invariant, Live + Table)What it is
A USD strength/weakness meter for the London (08:00–08:45) or New York (15:30–16:00/16:15) session. It blends the movement of 8 markets—EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, USDJPY, XAUUSD—into one Score that is timeframe-invariant (it uses a 1-minute “boundary TF” under the hood so changing chart TF doesn’t change the math).
Core logic (simple)
During the chosen session window, it records each symbol’s start and live end prices, computes returns, optionally normalizes by ATR (volatility), applies your weights, and averages anti-USD (EUR/GBP/AUD/NZD/XAU) vs USD-base (CHF/CAD/JPY) groups.
The final Score is the normalized sum of weighted contributions:
Score > 0 → “USD Strong”
Score < 0 → “USD Weak”
At the session close it freezes (“Locked”) the results so you can review them later.
What you see
Main plot: the USD Score line (with a 0 baseline).
Optional lines: Anti-USD average vs USD-base average (post-normalization, pre-weights).
Session background shading (London silver, New York aqua).
Live table with:
Each symbol’s % change, its weight, and its contribution to the Score.
TOP badges for the two biggest drivers (by absolute contribution).
A Side column (only for the two TOPs) showing BUY/SELL aligned with the USD verdict (e.g., if USD Strong → SELL anti-USD pairs like EURUSD, BUY USD-base like USDCHF).
Verdict row with USD Strong/Weak, the Score value, the window text, and whether you’re LIVE / CLOSED / FROZEN.
Trade Gate panel:
Shows Verdict (USD Strong/Weak), Bias OK/weak (|Score| vs your threshold), Top-1/Top-2 VWAP checks, an overall GATE: OK/NO, and an Entry hint string (e.g., “SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) when conditions align.
VWAP “Trade Gate”
It confirms alignment between the USD bias and price vs VWAP for the top movers:
If USD Strong: anti-USD symbols should be below VWAP (short bias), USD-base symbols above VWAP (long bias).
If USD Weak: the opposite.
Gate = OK only if |Score| ≥ minAbsScore and at least one of the two TOP symbols is on the correct side of VWAP.
Tip: set vwapTF to an intraday value (“1”, “5”, “15”) for reliable VWAP on higher-TF charts.
Alerts
At session close: “USD Strong/Weak – session close”.
Live threshold: alerts when |Score| crosses your intraday threshold up/down.
Entry hint (Gate OK): triggers when the Gate flips from NO → OK inside the window.
If you create an alert of type “Any alert() function call”, you also get a dynamic message like:
ENTRY HINT • Hint: SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF
Key inputs you can tweak
Session: London vs New York; NY end time 16:00 or 16:15.
Timezone: default Europe/Tirane.
Boundary TF: default “1” (keeps the indicator TF-invariant).
minAbsScore: sensitivity threshold for “Bias OK”.
ATR normalization (len): stabilizes comparisons across different volatility regimes.
VWAP settings: toggle panel and set vwapTF.
How to use (playbook)
Choose the session (e.g., New York 15:30–16:15), keep Boundary TF = 1.
If you’re on a higher-TF chart, set vwapTF = "1" or "5".
Watch Score and Verdict; when |Score| ≥ minAbsScore, bias is meaningful.
Check Top-1/Top-2 and the Trade Gate:
If Gate = OK, use the Entry hint (e.g., “SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) as the aligned idea.
Use your own execution rules (e.g., structure, risk, stops) on the suggested symbols.
After close, review the Frozen table to validate behavior and refine thresholds/weights.
Notes & edge cases
If some markets are illiquid/holiday, a few returns may be na; the script handles that gracefully.
If ta.vwap is na on high TFs, the Gate will simply not confirm—set vwapTF intraday.
You can customize weights (e.g., reduce XAUUSD to -0.3 or similar) to suit your basket philosophy.
If you want, I can add toggles to show Side for all 8 symbols, or print a one-line summary (e.g., “USD Strong • Score 0.23 • Gate OK • SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) in the top-left of the pane.
Long/Short Ratio Aggregated (Lite)Description — Long/Short Ratio Aggregated (Lite)
This indicator provides a cross-exchange, open-interest-weighted aggregation of the Long/Short Ratio (LSR) for the cryptocurrency asset currently on your chart. It is designed to unify fragmented derivatives positioning data from multiple major exchanges into a single normalized signal that more accurately reflects real market sentiment and positioning bias across platforms.
Concept and Originality
Traditional Long/Short Ratio indicators are exchange-specific. They show how many traders are long versus short, but only within the scope of one venue (e.g., Binance or Bybit). This makes them incomplete and often misleading for directional bias analysis, since different exchanges host different participant profiles, levels of leverage, and quote-currency exposures.
This script addresses that limitation by:
Aggregating LSR data across multiple exchanges (Binance and Bybit).
Weighting each ratio by Open Interest (OI) — ensuring exchanges with higher open positions contribute proportionally more to the overall sentiment.
Normalizing all contract types (USDT, USDC, and USD-margined) into a consistent base-currency format.
This step corrects for structural differences between coin- and stablecoin-margined instruments, producing a true like-for-like comparison.
The result is a globalized Long/Short Ratio, normalized by exposure and liquidity, suitable for multi-venue orderflow estimation and directional bias assessment.
Note for moderators: I know there are already other scripts out there, but they may not support Open Interest Weighting or the same number of pairs. They also might not support proper normalization like in my script.
Calculation Methodology
For each supported exchange and contract type:
The script retrieves the latest Long/Short Ratio (LSR) and Open Interest (OI) values.
OI is used as the weighting factor, creating a proportional representation of positioning volume.
Values denominated in USD are normalized into base currency using close-price adjustment.
The final value is computed as:
Weighted LSR = (Σ (LSRᵢ × OIᵢ)) / (Σ OIᵢ)
This ensures that if, for example, Binance has twice the open interest of Bybit, its LSR contributes twice as much to the total weighted sentiment.
Interpretation
Value > 1.0 → Market participants are net-long (bullish bias).
Value < 1.0 → Market participants are net-short (bearish bias).
Strength of deviation from 1.0 indicates positioning imbalance magnitude.
Because the ratio is OI-weighted, large players or heavily margined exchanges influence the output proportionally more than smaller, low-volume venues — making this metric a better reflection of true market positioning rather than isolated retail sentiment.
Usage and Applications
Use this indicator as a component in:
Orderflow and sentiment confirmation, alongside price action and volume.
Funding rate correlation studies.
Intraday reversals or exhaustion zones, when combined with volatility or OI delta metrics.
Overlaying or combining this indicator with open interest change, cumulative volume delta, or funding rate divergence allows traders to build a high-resolution understanding of positioning shifts and crowd behavior.
Notes
The “Lite” version is optimized for execution and accessibility, focusing on accuracy while staying within Pine Script’s computational limits.
Exchange data availability may vary by symbol; unsupported pairs automatically return na and are automatically not included in the weighted calculation.
In summary:
This indicator transforms fragmented, exchange-specific Long/Short Ratio into a unified, OI-weighted global sentiment measure — a foundational tool for traders seeking to quantify derivative-side orderflow bias with cross-venue accuracy.
Dominance Signal Apex [CHE]]Dominance Signal Apex — Triple-confirmed entry markers with stateful guardrails
Summary
This indicator focuses on entry timing by plotting markers only when three conditions align: a closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias, a monotonic stack of super-smoother filters, and the current HMA slope. A compact state machine provides guardrails: it starts a directional state on closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias, maintains it only while the smoother stack remains ordered, and renders a marker only if HMA slope agrees. This design aims for selective signals and reduces isolated prints during mixed conditions. Markers fade over time to visualize the age and persistence of the current state.
Motivation: Why this design?
Common triggers flip frequently in noise or react late when regimes shift. The core idea is to gate entry markers through a closed-bar state plus independent filter alignment. The state machine limits premature prints, removes markers when alignment breaks, and uses the HMA as a final directional gate. The result is fewer mixed-context entries and clearer clusters during sustained trends.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Single moving-average slope or classic MA cross signals.
Architecture differences:
Multi-length two-pole super-smoother stack with strict ordering checks.
Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias to start a directional state.
HMA slope as a final gate for rendering markers.
Time-based alpha fade to surface state age.
Practical effect: Entry markers appear in clusters during aligned regimes and are suppressed when conditions diverge, improving selectivity.
How it works (technical)
Measurements: Four recursive super-smoother series on price at short to medium horizons. Up regime means each shorter smoother sits below the next longer one; down regime is the inverse.
State machine: On bar close, positive Heikin-Ashi bias starts a bull state and negative bias starts a bear state. The state terminates the moment the smoother ordering breaks relative to the prior bar.
Rendering gate: A marker prints only if the active state agrees with the current HMA slope. The HMA is plotted and colored by slope for context.
Normalization and clamping: Marker transparency transitions from a starting to an ending alpha across a fixed number of bars, clamped within the allowed range.
Initialization: Persistent variables track state and bar-count since state start; Heikin-Ashi open is seeded on the first valid bar.
HTF/security: None used. State updates are closed-bar, which reduces repaint paths.
Bands: Smoothed high, low, centerline, and offset bands are computed but not rendered.
Parameter Guide
Show Markers — Toggle rendering — Default: true — Hides markers without changing logic.
Bull Color / Bear Color — Visual colors — Defaults: bright green / red — Aesthetic only.
Start Alpha / End Alpha — Transparency range — Defaults: one hundred / fifty, within zero to one hundred — Controls initial visibility and fade endpoint.
Steps — Fade length in bars — Default: eight, minimum one — Longer values extend the visual memory of a state.
Smoother Length — Internal band smoothing — Default: twenty-one, minimum two — Affects computed bands only; not drawn.
Band Multiplier — Internal band offset — Default: one point zero — No impact on markers.
Source — Input for HMA — Default: close — Align with your workflow.
Length — HMA length — Default: fifty, minimum one — Larger values reduce flips; smaller values react faster.
Reading & Interpretation
Entry markers:
Bull marker (below bar): Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias is positive, smoother stack remains aligned for up regime, and HMA slope is rising.
Bear marker (above bar): Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias is negative, smoother stack remains aligned for down regime, and HMA slope is falling.
Fade: Transparency progresses over the configured steps, indicating how long the current state has persisted.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Focus on marker clusters aligned with HMA color. Add structure filters such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows to avoid counter-trend entries.
Exits/Stops: Consider exiting or reducing risk when smoother ordering breaks, when HMA color flips, or when marker cadence thins out.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Suitable for liquid crypto, FX, indices, and equities. On lower timeframes, shorten HMA length and fade steps for faster response.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: State transitions and marker eligibility are decided on closed bars; live bars do not commit state changes until close.
security()/HTF: Not used.
Resources: Declared max bars back of one thousand five hundred; recursive filters and persistent states; no explicit loops.
Known limits: Some delay around sharp turns; brief states may start in noisy phases but are quickly revoked when alignment fails; HMA gating can miss very early reversals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start here: Keep defaults.
Too many flips: Increase HMA length and raise fade steps.
Too sluggish: Decrease HMA length and reduce fade steps.
Markers too faint/bold: Adjust start and end alpha toward lower or higher opacity.

Flux Power Dashboard (Updated and Renamed)Flux Power Dashboard is a compact market-state heads-up display for TradingView. It blends trend, momentum, and volume-flow into a single on-chart panel with color-coded cues and minimal lag. You get:
Clean visual trend via fast/slow MA with slope/debounce filters
MACD state and most recent cross (with “freshness” tint)
OBV confirmation and gating to reduce noise
Session awareness (Asia/London/New York + pre-sessions + overlap)
Optional HTF Regime row and regime gate to align signals to higher-timeframe bias
Context from VIX/VXN (volatility regime)
A single Flux Score (0–100) as a top-level read
It is deliberately “dashboard-first”: fast to read, consistent between symbols/timeframes, and designed to limit overtrading in chop.
What it can do (capabilities)
Signal gating: You can require multiple pillars to agree (Trend, MACD, OBV) before a “strong” bias is shown.
Debounced trend: Uses slope + confirmation bars to avoid flip-flopping.
Session presets: Auto-adjust the minimum confirmation bars by session (e.g., NY vs London vs Asia) to better match liquidity/volatility.
MACD presets: Quick switch between Scalp / Classic / Slow or roll your own custom speeds.
OBV confirmation: Volume flow must agree for trend/entries to “count” (optional).
HTF Regime awareness: Shows the higher-timeframe backdrop and (optionally) gates signals so you don’t fight the dominant trend.
Volatility context: VIX/VXN auto-colored cells based on your thresholds.
Top-center Session Title: Broadcasts the active session (or Overlap) with a matched background color.
Customizable UI: Column fonts, params font, transparency, dashboard corner, marker styles, colors, widths—tune it to your chart.
Practical use: Start with Flux Score + Summary for a snapshot, confirm with Trend & MACD, check OBV agreement (implicit in signal strength), glance at Regime to avoid counter-trend trades, and use Session + VIX/VXN for timing and risk context.
How it avoids common pitfalls
Repaint-aware: “Confirm on Close” can be enabled to read prior bar states, reducing intrabar noise.
Auto MA sanity: If fast ≥ slow length, it auto-swaps under the hood to keep calculations valid.
Debounce & confirm: Trend flips only after X bars satisfy conditions, cutting false flips in chop.
Freshness tint: New Cross/Signal rows tint slightly brighter for a few bars, so you can spot recency at a glance.
Every line of the dashboard (what it shows, how it’s colored)
Flux Score
What: Composite 0–100 built from three pillars: Trend (40%), MACD (30%), OBV (30%).
Read: ≥70 Bullish, ≤30 Bearish, else Neutral.
Use: Quick “state of play” gauge—stronger alignment pushes the score toward extremes.
Regime (optional row)
What: Higher-timeframe (your Regime TF) backdrop using the same MA pair with HTF slope/ATR buffer.
Values: Bull / Bear / Range.
Gate (optional): If Regime Gate is ON, Trend/Signals only go directional when HTF agrees.
Summary
What: One-line narrative combining the three pillars: MACD (up/down/flat), OBV (up/down/flat), Trend (up/down/flat).
Use: Human-readable cross-check; should rhyme with Flux Score.
Trend
What: Debounced MA relationship on the current chart.
Strict: needs fast > slow and slow rising (mirror for down) + slope debounce + confirmation bars.
Lenient: allows fast > slow or slow rising (mirror for down) with the same debounce/confirm.
Color: Green = UP, Red = DOWN, Gray = FLAT.
Use: Your structural bias on the trading timeframe.
MACD
What: Current MACD line vs signal, using your selected preset (or custom).
Values: Bull (line above), Bear (below), Flat (equal/indeterminate).
Color: Green/Red/Gray.
Cross
What: Most recent MACD cross and how many bars ago it occurred (e.g., “MACD XUP | 3 bars”).
Freshness: If the cross happened within Fresh Signal Tint bars, the cell brightens slightly.
Use: Timing helper for inflection points.
Signal
What: Latest directional shift (from short-bias to long-bias or vice versa) and age in bars.
Strength:
Strong = Trend + MACD + OBV all align
Weak = partial alignment (e.g., Trend + MACD, or Trend + OBV)
Color: Green for long bias, Red for short bias; fresh signals tint brighter.
Use: Action cue—treat Strong as higher quality; Weak as situational.
MA
What: Your slow MA type and length, plus slope direction (“up”/“down”).
Use: Context even when Trend is FLAT; slope often turns before full trend flips.
Session
What: Current market session by Eastern Time: New York / London / Asia, Pre- windows, Overlap, or Off-hours.
Logic: If ≥2 main sessions are active, shows Overlap (and grays the top title background).
Use: Timing and expectations for liquidity/volatility; also drives session-based confirmation presets if enabled.
VIX
What: Real-time CBOE:VIX on your chosen TF.
Auto-color (if on):
Calm (< Calm) → Green
Watch (< Watch) → Yellow
Elevated (< Elevated) → Orange
Very High (≥ Elevated) → Red
Use: Equity market–wide risk mood; higher = bigger moves, lower = quieter.
VXN
What: CBOE:VXN (Nasdaq volatility index) on your chosen TF.
Auto-color thresholds like VIX.
Use: Tech-heavy risk mood; helpful for growth/QQQ/NDX names.
Footer (params row, bottom-right)
What: Key live settings so you always know the context:
P= Trend Confirmation Bars
O= OBV Confirmation Bars
Strict/Lenient (trend mode)
MACD preset (or “Custom”)
swap if MA lengths were auto-swapped for validity
Regime gate if enabled
Candles for clarity
Use: Quick integrity check when comparing charts/screenshots or changing presets.
Recommended workflow
Start at Flux Score & Summary → snapshot of alignment.
Check Trend (color) and MACD (Bull/Bear).
Look at Signal (Strong vs Weak, and age).
Glance at Regime (and use gate if you’re trend-following).
Use Session + VIX/VXN to adjust expectations (breakout vs mean-revert, risk sizing, patience).
Keep Confirm on Close ON when you want stability; turn it OFF for faster (but noisier) reads.
Notes & limitations
Not advice: This is an informational tool; always combine with your own risk rules.
Repaint vs responsiveness: With “Confirm on Close” OFF you’ll see faster state changes but may get more churn intrabar.
Presets matter: Scalp MACD reacts fastest; Slow reduces whipsaw. Choose for your timeframe.
Session windows depend on the strings you set; adjust if your broker’s feed or DST handling needs tweaks.
CMO For Loop | QuantLapseCMO For Loop Indicator
The CMO For Loop indicator, inspired by Alex Orekhov's, "Chande Momentum Oscillator," and indicator originally made by Tushar Chande, the CMO designed as a fast and responsive tool to capture quick price movements in financial markets. This oscillator leverages Momentum to measure price deviations, providing a concise yet powerful framework for identifying potential trade entry and exit points. What makes this
"enhanced" CMO indicator special is its ability to identify trending periods more accurately. By using thresholds, this allows the script to enter accurate long and short conditions extremely quickly.
Intended Uses:
Used to capture long-term trends:
Used to identify quick reversals:
Recommended Uses
Best suited for higher timeframes (8H+) to improve accuracy of signals.
Designed for strategies that require fast entries and exits.
Can also be applied to scalping approaches.
Not Recommended For
Should not be used as a mean reversion tool.
Should not be interpreted as a valuation indicator (overbought/oversold levels).
Key Features
Rapid Market Reaction
Built to prioritize speed over smoothing, making it ideal for traders who want to take advantage of quick price shifts in trending or highly volatile markets.
Flexible Thresholds
Users can customize the upper and lower CMO levels to trigger long or short conditions, allowing the indicator to adapt to different assets and trading styles.
Embracing the Noise
Signals may appear frequently, but this is intentional. The tool is optimized for traders who thrive on fast rotations, using the “noise” to catch short-lived yet impactful moves.
Clear Visual Feedback
Plots key oscillator levels and provides dynamic, color-coded candles and shapes that make it easy to identify bias and react quickly.
How It Works
Oscillator Calculation
The CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator) is derived from comparing the source price’s deviations relative to its momentum. This approach emphasizes trend-driven price shifts.
Signal Triggers
When the oscillator rises above the upper threshold, a long bias is triggered and remains until the CMO drops below the lower threshold.
When the oscillator falls below the lower threshold, a short bias is triggered and remains until the CMO crosses back above the upper threshold.
No bias is active when the oscillator is between thresholds.
Visual Signals
Green candles = long bias
Red candles = short bias
Gray candles = neutral/no signal
Triangles mark points of change in signal direction.
Quant Signals: Entropy w/ ForecastThis is the first of many quantitative signals I plan to create for TV users.
Most technical analysis (TA) tools—like moving averages, oscillators, or chart patterns—are heuristic: they’re based on visually identifiable shapes, threshold crossovers, or empirically chosen rules. These methods rarely quantify the information content or structural complexity of market data. By quantifying market predictability before making a forecast, this method filters out noise and focuses your trading only during statistically favorable conditions—something traditional TA cannot objectively measure.
This MEPP-based approach is quantitative and model-free:
It comes from information theory and measures Shannon entropy rate to assess how predictable the market is at any moment.
Instead of interpreting price formations, it uses a data-compression algorithm (Lempel–Ziv) to capture hidden structure in the sequence of returns.
Forecasts are generated using a principle from statistical physics (Maximum Entropy Production), not historical chart patterns.
In short, this method measures the market's predictability BEFORE deciding a directional forecast is worth trusting. This tool is to inform TA traders on the market's current regime, whether it is smooth and predictable or it is volatile and turbulent.
Technical Introduction:
In information theory, Shannon entropy measures the uncertainty (or information content) in a sequence of data. For markets, the entropy rate captures how much new information price returns generate over time:
Low entropy rate → price changes are more structured and predictable.
High entropy rate → price changes are more random and unpredictable.
By discretizing recent returns into quartile-based states, this indicator:
Calculates the normalized entropy rate as a regime filter.
Uses MEPP to forecast the next state that maximizes entropy production.
Displays both the regime status (predictable vs chaotic) and the forecast bias (bullish/bearish) in a dashboard.
Measurements & How to Use Them
TLDR: HIGH ENTROPY -> information generation/market shift -> Don't trust forecast/strategy
1. H (bits/sym)
Shannon entropy rate of the last μ discrete returns, in bits per symbol (0–2).
Lower → more predictable; higher → more random.
Use as a raw measure of market structure.
2. H_max (log₂Ω)
Theoretical maximum entropy for Ω states. Here Ω = 4 → H_max = 2.0 bits.
Reference value for normalization.
3. Entropy (norm)
H / H_max, scaled between 0 and 1.
< 0.5–0.6 → predictable regime; > 0.6 → chaotic regime.
Main regime filter — forecasts are more reliable when below your threshold.
4. Regime
Label based on Entropy (norm) vs your entThresh.
LOW (predictable) = higher odds forecast will be correct.
HIGH (chaotic) = forecasts less reliable.
5. Next State (MEPP Forecast)
Discrete return state (1–4) predicted to occur next, chosen to maximize entropy production:
Large Down (strong bearish)
Small Down (mild bearish)
Small Up (mild bullish)
Large Up (strong bullish)
Use as your bias direction.
6. Bias
Simplified label from the Next State:
States 1–2 = Bearish bias (red)
States 3–4 = Bullish bias (green)
Align strategy direction with bias only in LOW regime.

The Kyber Cell's – TTM Wave CThe Kyber Cell’s Wave C – TTM Squeeze Macro Bias & Structural Filter
⸻
1. Introduction
Wave C is the strategic compass in the TTM Squeeze Wave system — the final layer that helps you align with the larger trend or macro context. While Wave A delivers momentum bursts and Wave B confirms active trend direction, Wave C filters trades through a broader lens, helping you avoid taking strong intraday setups that go against the dominant structure.
Wave C is designed to act as your macro bias validator — filtering out trades that contradict higher-timeframe flows or major moving average slopes. When all three waves line up, you’re no longer just reacting to signals — you’re trading with intention and structure. When in doubt, zoom out and that is what Wave C gives you.
⸻
2. Core Concept and Calculation
Wave C is built to measure high-level trend bias, either on the current chart timeframe or derived from a higher timeframe (HTF). Its logic is based on one or more of the following structural tools:
• Long-term EMA slope (e.g., 55, 89, or 200 EMA)
• HTF VWAP positioning (price above or below)
• Long-period HMA slope (e.g., HMA 144 or HMA 233)
• Directional bias from HTF TTM Squeeze or MTF trend engine
Unlike Wave A and B, which may fluctuate during normal price swings, Wave C changes more slowly. That’s the point — it gives a “big picture” backdrop against which all lower-level signals should be evaluated. It reduces false positives and helps you wait for trades in the direction of the broader trend.
⸻
3. Visual Output and Color Logic
Wave C uses a simple and deliberate color scheme to communicate macro alignment:
• Green: Bullish macro structure
• Red: Bearish macro structure
• Gray: Neutral, indecisive, or flat macro trend
This muted but firm logic encourages patient, structured trading. The goal isn’t to trigger trades directly from Wave C, but to filter out trades that contradict market posture.
• When Wave C is Green, you ideally want Wave B to be blue and Wave A to turn cyan before going long.
• When Wave C is Red, you look for Wave B to be red and Wave A to turn bright red before shorting.
• If Wave C is Gray, it may signal choppy, indecisive structure — use caution or reduce trade size.
⸻
4. Ideal Use Case
Wave C functions as your global bias filter:
1. Set your directional bias for the session or week.
2. Only take trades that agree with Wave C direction.
3. When all waves align, trade with size and confidence.
4. When Wave C disagrees, wait or downshift your trade plan.
This makes Wave C especially valuable for swing traders, position traders, or intraday traders who want to anchor their entries within a broader trend.
⸻
5. Configuration and Customization
Wave C is built with advanced users in mind, and its configuration allows multiple structural methods:
• EMA Slope Method: Set EMA length and threshold angle
• HTF Source Method: Request HTF data for squeeze trend, VWAP, or Wave B analog
• HMA Trend Filter: Longer-term smoothing to detect sustained directional flow
• Color Preferences: Customize green/red/gray scheme as needed
This flexibility allows you to tailor Wave C to your strategy — whether you’re anchoring to a Daily EMA while scalping the 5-minute chart, or aligning swing entries with the Weekly VWAP.
⸻
6. Alerts and Add-ons
Although Wave C isn’t typically used for alerts, it can be incorporated into confluence-based alert stacks. For example:
• Alert only when Wave C = Green, Wave B = Blue, and Wave A = Rising
• Alert on macro flip (e.g., Green → Red) as a possible regime change
• Alert when macro bias agrees with MTF Squeeze Panel bias
These setups are more advanced but help automate disciplined trade selection.
⸻
7. Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and research purposes only. It is not trading advice. Wave C is most effective when used in conjunction with Wave A, Wave B, and other structural context. All trades should be executed with proper risk management and backtested methodology.

Scalping Candle [Crak x MMT]The Scalping Candle is a TradingView indicator designed for scalping strategies, identifying potential bullish and bearish engulfing patterns on price charts. It overlays directly on the chart and marks specific candle patterns with visual signals, helping traders spot short-term trading opportunities. The indicator includes a customizable bias filter to focus on bullish, bearish, or neutral market conditions.
Features
Overlay Indicator : Displays bullish and bearish signals directly on the price chart.
Bias Filter : Allows users to select a market bias ('Bullish', 'Bearish', or 'Neutral') to filter signals based on their trading preference.
Visual Signals : Plots green upward triangles below bullish candles and red downward triangles above bearish candles.
Alerts : Generates alerts for bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, enabling timely notifications for trade setups.
How It Works
The indicator analyzes the relationship between the current and previous candles to detect engulfing patterns:
Bullish Engulfing : Triggered when the current candle's low is at or below the previous candle's low, and its close is at or above the previous candle's midpoint. This signal is displayed only if the bias filter is set to 'Neutral' or 'Bullish'.
Bearish Engulfing : Triggered when the current candle's high is at or above the previous candle's high, and its close is at or below the previous candle's midpoint. This signal is displayed only if the bias filter is set to 'Neutral' or 'Bearish'.
The previous candle's midpoint is calculated as the average of its high and low prices.
Usage
- Add to Chart : Apply the indicator to any TradingView chart.
- Configure Bias Filter :
Neutral : Displays both bullish and bearish signals.
Bullish : Displays only bullish signals.
Bearish : Displays only bearish signals.
- Interpret Signals :
Green upward triangle below a candle indicates a potential bullish reversal.
Red downward triangle above a candle indicates a potential bearish reversal.
- Set Alerts : Use the built-in alert conditions to receive notifications when bullish or bearish engulfing patterns are detected.
Settings
Bias Filter : Choose between 'Neutral', 'Bullish', or 'Bearish' to control which signals are displayed.
Shape Size : Signals are plotted as small triangles for minimal chart clutter.
Alert Conditions : Enable alerts for 'Bullish Engulfing Detected' or 'Bearish Engulfing Detected' to stay informed of new signals.

Langlands-Operadic Möbius Vortex (LOMV)Langlands-Operadic Möbius Vortex (LOMV)
Where Pure Mathematics Meets Market Reality
A Revolutionary Synthesis of Number Theory, Category Theory, and Market Dynamics
🎓 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The Langlands-Operadic Möbius Vortex represents a groundbreaking fusion of three profound mathematical frameworks that have never before been combined for market analysis:
The Langlands Program: Harmonic Analysis in Markets
Developed by Robert Langlands (Fields Medal recipient), the Langlands Program creates bridges between number theory, algebraic geometry, and harmonic analysis. In our indicator:
L-Function Implementation:
- Utilizes the Möbius function μ(n) for weighted price analysis
- Applies Riemann zeta function convergence principles
- Calculates quantum harmonic resonance between -2 and +2
- Measures deep mathematical patterns invisible to traditional analysis
The L-Function core calculation employs:
L_sum = Σ(return_val × μ(n) × n^(-s))
Where s is the critical strip parameter (0.5-2.5), controlling mathematical precision and signal smoothness.
Operadic Composition Theory: Multi-Strategy Democracy
Category theory and operads provide the mathematical framework for composing multiple trading strategies into a unified signal. This isn't simple averaging - it's mathematical composition using:
Strategy Composition Arity (2-5 strategies):
- Momentum analysis via RSI transformation
- Mean reversion through Bollinger Band mathematics
- Order Flow Polarity Index (revolutionary T3-smoothed volume analysis)
- Trend detection using Directional Movement
- Higher timeframe momentum confirmation
Agreement Threshold System: Democratic voting where strategies must reach consensus before signal generation. This prevents false signals during market uncertainty.
Möbius Function: Number Theory in Action
The Möbius function μ(n) forms the mathematical backbone:
- μ(n) = 1 if n is a square-free positive integer with even number of prime factors
- μ(n) = -1 if n is a square-free positive integer with odd number of prime factors
- μ(n) = 0 if n has a squared prime factor
This creates oscillating weights that reveal hidden market periodicities and harmonic structures.

Average Up and Down Candles Streak with Predicted Next CandleThis indicator is designed to analyze price trends by examining the patterns of up and down streaks (consecutive bullish or bearish candles) over a defined period. It uses this data to provide insights on whether the next candle is likely to be bullish or bearish, and it visually displays relevant information on the chart.
Here’s a breakdown of what the indicator does:
1. Inputs and Parameters
Period (Candles): Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average length of bullish and bearish streaks. For example, if the period is set to 20, the indicator will analyze the past 20 candles to determine average up and down streak lengths.
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signal Toggle: These options allow users to show or hide visual signals (green or red circles) when there’s a bullish or bearish bias in the trend based on the indicator’s calculations.
2. Streak Calculation
The indicator looks at each candle within the period to identify if it closed up (bullish) or down (bearish).
Up Streak: The indicator counts consecutive bullish candles. When there’s a bearish candle, it resets the up streak count.
Down Streak: Similarly, it counts consecutive bearish candles and resets when a bullish candle appears.
Averages: Over the defined period, the indicator calculates the average length of up streaks and average length of down streaks. This provides a baseline to assess whether the current streak is typical or extended.
3. Current and Average Streak Display
The indicator displays the current up and down streak lengths alongside the average streak lengths for comparison. This data appears in a table on the chart, allowing you to see at a glance:
The current streak length (for both up and down trends)
The average streak length for up and down trends over the chosen period
4. Trend Prediction for the Next Candle
Next Candle Prediction: Based on the current streak and its comparison to the average, the indicator predicts the likely direction of the next candle:
Bullish: If the current up streak is shorter than the average up streak, suggesting that the bullish trend could continue.
Bearish: If the current down streak is shorter than the average down streak, indicating that the bearish trend may continue.
Neutral: If the current streak length is near the average, which could signal an upcoming reversal.
This prediction appears in a table on the chart, labeled as “Next Candle.”
5. Previous Candle Analysis
The Previous Candle entry in the table reflects the last completed candle (directly before the current candle) to show whether it was bullish, bearish, or neutral.
This data gives a reference point for recent price action and helps validate the next candle prediction.
6. Visual Signals and Reversal Zones
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signals: The indicator can plot green circles on bullish bias and red circles on bearish bias to highlight points where the trend is likely to continue.
Reversal Zones: If the current streak length reaches or exceeds the average, it suggests the trend may be overextended, indicating a potential reversal zone. The indicator highlights these zones with shaded backgrounds (green for possible bullish reversal, red for bearish) on the chart.
Summary of What You See on the Chart
Bullish and Bearish Bias Signals: Green or red circles mark areas of expected continuation in the trend.
Reversal Zones: Shaded areas in red or green suggest that the trend might be about to reverse.
Tables:
The Next Candle prediction table displays the trend direction of the previous candle and the likely trend of the next candle.
The Streak Information table shows the current up and down streak lengths, along with their averages for easy comparison.
Practical Use
This indicator is helpful for traders aiming to understand trend momentum and potential reversals based on historical patterns. It’s particularly useful for swing trading, where knowing the typical length of bullish or bearish trends can help in timing entries and exits.
Delta Volume Columns Pro [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays volume delta information calculated with intrabar inspection on historical bars, and feed updates when running in realtime. It is designed to run in a pane and can display either stacked buy/sell volume columns or a signal line which can be calculated and displayed in many different ways.
Five different models are offered to reveal different characteristics of the calculated volume delta information. Many options are offered to visualize the calculations, giving you much leeway in morphing the indicator's visuals to suit your needs. If you value delta volume information, I hope you will find the time required to master Delta Volume Columns Pro well worth the investment. I am confident that if you combine a proper understanding of the indicator's information with an intimate knowledge of the volume idiosyncrasies on the markets you trade, you can extract useful market intelligence using this tool.
█ WARNINGS
1. The indicator only works on markets where volume information is available,
Please validate that your symbol's feed carries volume information before asking me why the indicator doesn't plot values.
2. When you refresh your chart or re-execute the script on the chart, the indicator will repaint because elapsed realtime bars will then recalculate as historical bars.
3. Because the indicator uses different modes of calculation on historical and realtime bars, it's critical that you understand the differences between them. Details are provided further down.
4. Calculations using intrabar inspection on historical bars can only be done from some chart timeframes. See further down for a list of supported timeframes.
If the chart's timeframe is not supported, no historical volume delta will display.
█ CONCEPTS
Chart bars
Three different types of bars are used in charts:
1. Historical bars are bars that have already closed when the script executes on them.
2. The realtime bar is the current, incomplete bar where a script is running on an open market. There is only one active realtime bar on your chart at any given time.
The realtime bar is where alerts trigger.
3. Elapsed realtime bars are bars that were calculated when they were realtime bars but have since closed.
When a script re-executes on a chart because the browser tab is refreshed or some of its inputs are changed, elapsed realtime bars are recalculated as historical bars.
Why does this indicator use two modes of calculation?
Historical bars on TradingView charts contain OHLCV data only, which is insufficient to calculate volume delta on them with any level of precision. To mine more detailed information from those bars we look at intrabars , i.e., bars from a smaller timeframe (we call it the intrabar timeframe ) that are contained in one chart bar. If your chart Is running at 1D on a 24x7 market for example, most 1D chart bars will contain 24 underlying 1H bars in their dilation. On historical bars, this indicator looks at those intrabars to amass volume delta information. If the intrabar is up, its volume goes in the Buy bin, and inversely for the Sell bin. When price does not move on an intrabar, the polarity of the last known movement is used to determine in which bin its volume goes.
In realtime, we have access to price and volume change for each update of the chart. Because a 1D chart bar can be updated tens of thousands of times during the day, volume delta calculations on those updates is much more precise. This precision, however, comes at a price:
— The script must be running on the chart for it to keep calculating in realtime.
— If you refresh your chart you will lose all accumulated realtime calculations on elapsed realtime bars, and the realtime bar.
Elapsed realtime bars will recalculate as historical bars, i.e., using intrabar inspection, and the realtime bar's calculations will reset.
When the script recalculates elapsed realtime bars as historical bars, the values on those bars will change, which means the script repaints in those conditions.
— When the indicator first calculates on a chart containing an incomplete realtime bar, it will count ALL the existing volume on the bar as Buy or Sell volume,
depending on the polarity of the bar at that point. This will skew calculations for that first bar. Scripts have no access to the history of a realtime bar's previous updates,
and intrabar inspection cannot be used on realtime bars, so this is the only to go about this.
— Even if alerts only trigger upon confirmation of their conditions after the realtime bar closes, they are repainting alerts
because they would perhaps not have calculated the same way using intrabar inspection.
— On markets like stocks that often have different EOD and intraday feeds and volume information,
the volume's scale may not be the same for the realtime bar if your chart is at 1D, for example,
and the indicator is using an intraday timeframe to calculate on historical bars.
— Any chart timeframe can be used in realtime mode, but plots that include moving averages in their calculations may require many elapsed realtime bars before they can calculate.
You might prefer drastically reducing the periods of the moving averages, or using the volume columns mode, which displays instant values, instead of the line.
Volume Delta Balances
This indicator uses a variety of methods to evaluate five volume delta balances and derive other values from those balances. The five balances are:
1 — On Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the Sell volume from the Buy volume on the bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the Buy and Sell volumes, and subtracts the Sell EMA from the Buy EMA.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both Buy and Sell volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of double the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the Sell side is subtracted from the difference for the Buy side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the Buy and Sell EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant Buy and Sell volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's Buy volume does not exceed the EMA of Buy volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the Sell volume with the EMA of Sell volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the Buy and Sell volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final "Relative Balance" value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's Buy/Sell volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant Buy/Sell volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's Buy/Sell volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily you will see the balance flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "On Bar Balance" value, i.e., the volume delta balance on the bar (which can be positive or negative),
over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : It sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
█ FEATURES
The indicator has two main modes of operation: Columns and Line .
Columns
• In Columns mode you can display stacked Buy/Sell volume columns.
• The buy section always appears above the centerline, the sell section below.
• The top and bottom sections can be colored independently using eight different methods.
• The EMAs of the Buy/Sell values can be displayed (these are the same EMAs used to calculate the "Average Balance").
Line
• Displays one of seven signals: the five balances or one of two complementary values, i.e., the "Marker Bias" or the "Combined Balances".
• You can color the line and its fill using independent calculation modes to pack more information in the display.
You can thus appraise the state of 3 different values using the line itself, its color and the color of its fill.
• A "Divergence Levels" feature will use the line to automatically draw expanding levels on divergence events.
Default settings
Using the indicator's default settings, this is the information displayed:
• The line is calculated on the "Average Balance".
• The line's color is determined by the bull/bear state of the "Percent Balance".
• The line's fill gradient is determined by the advances/declines of the "Momentum Balance".
• The orange divergence dots are calculated using discrepancies between the polarity of the "On Bar Balance" and the chart's bar.
• The divergence levels are determined using the line's level when a divergence occurs.
• The background's fill gradient is calculated on advances/declines of the "Marker Bias".
• The chart bars are colored using advances/declines of the "Relative Balance". Divergences are shown in orange.
• The intrabar timeframe is automatically determined from the chart's timeframe so that a minimum of 50 intrabars are used to calculate volume delta on historical bars.
Alerts
The configuration of the marker conditions explained further is what determines the conditions that will trigger alerts created from this script. Note that simply selecting the display of markers does not create alerts. To create an alert on this script, you must use ALT-A from the chart. You can create multiple alerts triggering on different conditions from this same script; simply configure the markers so they define the trigger conditions for each alert before creating the alert. The configuration of the script's inputs is saved with the alert, so from then on you can change them without affecting the alert. Alert messages will mention the marker(s) that triggered the specific alert event. Keep in mind, when creating alerts on small chart timeframes, that discrepancies between alert triggers and markers displayed on your chart are to be expected. This is because the alert and your chart are running two distinct instances of the indicator on different servers and different feeds. Also keep in mind that while alerts only trigger on confirmed conditions, they are calculated using realtime calculation mode, which entails that if you refresh your chart and elapsed realtime bars recalculate as historical bars using intrabar inspection, markers will not appear in the same places they appeared in realtime. So it's important to understand that even though the alert conditions are confirmed when they trigger, these alerts will repaint.
Let's go through the sections of the script's inputs.
Columns
The size of the Buy/Sell columns always represents their respective importance on the bar, but the coloring mode for tops and bottoms is independent. The default setup uses a standard coloring mode where the Buy/Sell columns are always in the bull/bear color with a higher intensity for the winning side. Seven other coloring modes allow you to pack more information in the columns. When choosing to color the top columns using a bull/bear gradient on "Average Balance", for example, you will have bull/bear colored tops. In order for the color of the bottom columns to continue to show the instant bar balance, you can then choose the "On Bar Balance — Dual Solid Colors" coloring mode to make those bars the color of the winning side for that bar. You can display the averages of the Buy and Sell columns. If you do, its coloring is controlled through the "Line" and "Line fill" sections below.
Line and Line fill
You can select the calculation mode and the thickness of the line, and independent calculations to determine the line's color and fill.
Zero Line
The zero line can display dots when all five balances are bull/bear.
Divergences
You first select the detection mode. Divergences occur whenever the up/down direction of the signal does not match the up/down polarity of the bar. Divergences are used in three components of the indicator's visuals: the orange dot, colored chart bars, and to calculate the divergence levels on the line. The divergence levels are dynamic levels that automatically build from the line's values on divergence events. On consecutive divergences, the levels will expand, creating a channel. This implementation of the divergence levels corresponds to my view that divergences indicate anomalies, hesitations, points of uncertainty if you will. It precludes any attempt to identify a directional bias to divergences. Accordingly, the levels merely take note of divergence events and mark those points in time with levels. Traders then have a reference point from which they can evaluate further movement. The bull/bear/neutral colors used to plot the levels are also congruent with this view in that they are determined by the line's position relative to the levels, which is how I think divergences can be put to the most effective use. One of the coloring modes for the line's fill uses advances/declines in the line after divergence events.
Background
The background can show a bull/bear gradient on six different calculations. As with other gradients, you can adjust its brightness to make its importance proportional to how you use it in your analysis.
Chart bars
Chart bars can be colored using seven different methods. You have the option of emptying the body of bars where volume does not increase, as does my TLD indicator, and you can choose whether you want to show divergences.
Intrabar Timeframe
This is the intrabar timeframe that will be used to calculate volume delta using intrabar inspection on historical bars. You can choose between four modes. The three "Auto-steps" modes calculate, from the chart's timeframe, the intrabar timeframe where the said number of intrabars will make up the dilation of chart bars. Adjustments are made for non-24x7 markets. "Fixed" mode allows you to select the intrabar timeframe you want. Checking the "Show TF" box will display in the lower-right corner the intrabar timeframe used at any given moment. The proper selection of the intrabar timeframe is important. It must achieve maximal granularity to produce precise results while not unduly slowing down calculations, or worse, causing runtime errors. Note that historical depth will vary with the intrabar timeframe. The smaller the timeframe, the shallower historical plots you will be.
Markers
Markers appear when the required condition has been confirmed on a closed bar. The configuration of the markers when you create an alert is what determines when the alert will trigger. Five markers are available:
• Balances Agreement : All five balances are either bullish or bearish.
• Double Bumps : A double bump is two consecutive up/down bars with +/‒ volume delta, and rising Buy/Sell volume above its average.
• Divergence confirmations : A divergence is confirmed up/down when the chosen balance is up/down on the previous bar when that bar was down/up, and this bar is up/down.
• Balance Shifts : These are bull/bear transitions of the selected signal.
• Marker Bias Shifts : Marker bias shifts occur when it crosses into bull/bear territory.
Periods
Allows control over the periods of the different moving averages used to calculate the balances.
Volume Discrepancies
Stock exchanges do not report the same volume for intraday and daily (or higher) resolutions. Other variations in how volume information is reported can also occur in other markets, namely Forex, where volume irregularities can even occur between different intraday timeframes. This will cause discrepancies between the total volume on the bar at the chart's timeframe, and the total volume calculated by adding the volume of the intrabars in that bar's dilation. This does not necessarily invalidate the volume delta information calculated from intrabars, but it tells us that we are using partial volume data. A mechanism to detect chart vs intrabar timeframe volume discrepancies is provided. It allows you to define a threshold percentage above which the background will indicate a difference has been detected.
Other Settings
You can control here the display of the gray dot reminder on realtime bars, and the display of error messages if you are using a chart timeframe that is not greater than the fixed intrabar timeframe, when you use that mode. Disabling the message can be useful if you only use realtime mode at chart timeframes that do not support intrabar inspection.
█ RAMBLINGS
On Volume Delta
Volume is arguably the best complement to interpret price action, and I consider volume delta to be the most effective way of processing volume information. In periods of low-volatility price consolidations, volume will typically also be lower than normal, but slight imbalances in the trend of the buy/sell volume balance can sometimes help put early odds on the direction of the break from consolidation. Additionally, the progression of the volume imbalance can help determine the proximity of the breakout. I also find volume delta and the number of divergences very useful to evaluate the strength of trends. In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady", i.e., relatively low volatility and pauses where price action doesn't look like world affairs are being reassessed. In my personal mythology, this type of trend is often more resilient than high-volatility breakouts, especially when volume balance confirms the general agreement of traders signaled by the low-volatility usually accompanying this type of trend. The volume action on pauses will often help me decide between aggressively taking profits, tightening a stop or going for a longer-term movement. As for reversals, they generally occur in high-volatility areas where entering trades is more expensive and riskier. While the identification of counter-trend reversals fascinates many traders to no end, they represent poor opportunities in my view. Volume imbalances often precede reversals, but I prefer to use volume delta information to identify the areas following reversals where I can confirm them and make relatively low-cost entries with better odds.
On "Buy/Sell" Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities.
Divergences
The divergence detection method used here relies on a difference between the direction of a signal and the polarity (up/down) of a chart bar. When using the default "On Bar Balance" to detect divergences, however, only the bar's volume delta is used. You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume information and price movement on one bar. This will sometimes be due to the calculation's shortcomings, but divergences may also occur in instances where because of order book structure, it takes less volume to increase the price of an asset than it takes to decrease it. As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. To your pattern-hungry brain, the divergences displayed by this indicator will — as they do on other indicators — appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering and I have no reliable information that would tend to prove otherwise. Exercise caution when using them. Consequently, I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm of traders in identifying bullish/bearish divergences. For me, the best course of action when a divergence occurs is to wait and see what happens from there. That is the rationale underlying how my divergence levels work; they take note of a signal's level when a divergence occurs, and it's the signal's behavior from that point on that determines if the post-divergence action is bullish/bearish.
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display lots of information. While learning to use a new indicator inevitably requires an adaptation period where we put it through its paces and try out all its options, once you have become used to it and decide to adopt it, rigorously eliminate the components you don't use and configure the remaining ones so their visual prominence reflects their relative importance in your analysis. I tried to provide flexible options for traders to control this indicator's visuals for that exact reason — not for window dressing.
█ LIMITATIONS
• This script uses a special characteristic of the `security()` function allowing the inspection of intrabars — which is not officially supported by TradingView.
It has the advantage of permitting a more robust calculation of volume delta than other methods on historical bars, but also has its limits.
• Intrabar inspection only works on some chart timeframes: 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month.
The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions.
• When the difference between the chart’s timeframe and the intrabar timeframe is too great, runtime errors will occur. The Auto-Steps selection mechanisms should avoid this.
• All volume is not created equally. Its source, components, quality and reliability will vary considerably with sectors and instruments.
The higher the quality, the more reliably volume delta information can be used to guide your decisions.
You should make it your responsibility to understand the volume information provided in the data feeds you use. It will help you make the most of volume delta.
█ NOTES
For traders
• The Data Window shows key values for the indicator.
• While this indicator displays some of the same information calculated in my Delta Volume Columns ,
I have elected to make it a separate publication so that traders continue to have a simpler alternative available to them. Both code bases will continue to evolve separately.
• All gradients used in this indicator determine their brightness intensities using advances/declines in the signal—not their relative position in a pre-determined scale.
• Volume delta being relative, by nature, it is particularly well-suited to Forex markets, as it filters out quite elegantly the cyclical volume data characterizing the sector.
If you are interested in volume delta, consider having a look at my other "Delta Volume" indicators:
• Delta Volume Realtime Action displays realtime volume delta and tick information on the chart.
• Delta Volume Candles builds volume delta candles on the chart.
• Delta Volume Columns is a simpler version of this indicator.
For coders
• I use the `f_c_gradientRelativePro()` from the PineCoders Color Gradient Framework to build my gradients.
This function has the advantage of allowing begin/end colors for both the bull and bear colors. It also allows us to define the number of steps allowed for each gradient.
I use this to modulate the gradients so they perform optimally on the combination of the signal used to calculate advances/declines,
but also the nature of the visual component the gradient applies to. I use fewer steps for choppy signals and when the gradient is used on discrete visual components
such as volume columns or chart bars.
• I use the PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine to write my scripts.
• I used functions modified from the PineCoders MTF Selection Framework for the selection of timeframes.

BK AK-Flag Formations🏴☠️ BK AK-Flag Formations — Raise the standard. Drive the line. Continue the assault. 🏴☠️
Built for traders who exploit momentum with discipline: flagpoles, flags, and pennants detected, tagged, and briefed—so you press advantage instead of hesitating.
🎖️ Full Credit (Engine + Logic — Trendoscope)
Original foundation (Trendoscope Flags & Pennants):
The entire detection engine—multi-zigzag swing extraction, pivot logic, pattern validation, classification framework, and drawing architecture—is Trendoscope. He’s the architect of the core system.
I’m not claiming the engine. I’m shipping a cleaner, more tactical interface layer on top of his work.
🧩 BK Enhancements (on top of Trendoscope)
Purpose: read continuation faster with less chart noise.
Short-form pattern tags so structure stays obvious without burying price:
BF / BeF / BP / BeP / F / P / UF / DF / RF / FF / AF / DeF
Label transparency controls (text + background), plus separate transparency control for short labels
Hover tooltips (toggle): hover the tag to reveal full pattern name + bias (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral)
Upgraded alert system: filters by Bias (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral) and Type (Flag / Pennant), with clearer alert messages
Pattern border extension (optional): extends the two pattern boundary lines forward by N bars so your levels stay mapped for break/retest planning
Everything else is Trendoscope’s architecture and math.
🧠 What It Does (The Mission)
This script hunts continuation formations that form after a strong impulse move:
Detects the flagpole (impulse)
Validates a consolidation structure (flag or pennant)
Tags it cleanly with short codes
Optional hover-briefing gives the long name + bias exactly when you need it
You get continuation structure in real time, across multiple swing sensitivities.
🧭 How It Detects (So You Know It’s Not Random)
This isn’t “pattern art.” It’s rule-based geometry + swing logic:
1) Multi-Zigzag Sweep (micro → macro)
Runs up to 4 zigzag engines so it catches both tight and larger continuations.
(Default BK tuning uses 4 levels with different swing lengths/depths.)
2) Quality Filters (you control strictness)
Key scanning controls:
Error Threshold: tolerance used during trendline validation
Flat Threshold: what qualifies as “flat” vs sloped
Max Retracement (default 0.618): limits how deep the consolidation can retrace the impulse
Verify Bar Ratio (optional): checks proportion/spacing of pivots, not just price
Avoid Overlap: prevents stacking formations on top of each other
Repaint option: allows refinement if better coordinates form (for real-time users)
3) Classification (Flag vs Pennant)
Once the engine confirms an impulse + valid consolidation, it classifies:
Flag = orderly channel/wedge-style consolidation after the pole
Pennant = tighter triangle-style compression after the pole
Then it labels with bias based on direction and formation context.
🏳️ Read the Continuation (Short Codes that Actually Matter)
BF — Bull Flag: strong pole → controlled pullback; watch for break + continuation expansion
BP — Bull Pennant: thrust → tight compression; expansion confirms carry
BeF — Bear Flag: down impulse → weak rallies; breakdown favors continuation lower
BeP — Bear Pennant: pause beneath resistance; release favors trend continuation
F / P: generic flag / pennant tags when the system can’t (or shouldn’t) over-specify
Standards aren’t decoration—they’re orders.
🧑🏫 Mentor A.K.
A.K. is the discipline behind this release.
No chasing. No gambling. No emotional entries.
He drilled one rule into everything: structure first, then execution—never the reverse.
This indicator exists to make that possible under pressure.
🤝 Give Forward (The Code of the Crew)
If this tool sharpens your edge:
Teach one trader how to read continuation properly (pole → base → trigger → invalidation)
Share process, not just screenshots (entry logic, stop logic, management plan)
If you build on open work: credit loudly and contribute improvements back when you can
Tools multiply force. Character decides the outcome.
👑 Respect to King Solomon (Wisdom > Impulse)
“Plans are established by counsel; by wise guidance wage war.” — Proverbs 20:18
Continuation trading is the same: impulse → formation → execution.
BK AK-Flag Formations — when the standard rises, the line advances.
Gd bless. 🙏
