ORB + INMERELO ADR + ATRThis indicator provides **two completely different but complementary lines of information** for intraday traders:
# **1. The ORB Line (ADR-Based Context Line)**
The ORB portion of the script focuses on **range expansion** relative to typical daily behavior.
### **What it measures**
* **20-day ADR (Average Daily Range)**
* **Today’s range as a % of ADR**
* **How much of the average range has been “used”** by the time you’re considering an Opening Range Breakout
### **Why it matters for ORB trading**
Successful ORBs thrive when:
* **ADR used% is low** (green) → plenty of fuel left for expansion
* **ADR used% is moderate** (orange) → breakout still possible but less explosive
* **ADR used% is high** (red) → breakout attempts often fail or reverse
### **What the indicator gives you**
A clean, color-coded readout of:
* ADR
* Today’s range
* Used%
* A simple green/orange/red evaluation of ORB quality
This allows a trader to quickly judge whether **conditions favor ORB continuation or mean-reversion reversal**—without manually calculating ranges or switching charts.
---
# **2. The INMERELO Line (ATR Stretch + MA Interaction)**
The INMERELO portion of the script is built around **mean-reversion mechanics**:
the market tends to revert back toward the **first daily MA it crosses under**.
### **How it determines the active MA**
At the start of each session, the script waits for price to cross under:
* **EMA10**
* **EMA21**
* **SMA50**
Whichever MA is crossed first becomes the **active MA** for the day.
If no cross has occurred yet, the indicator shows the **nearest MA**, so traders know exactly what the likely “INMERELO magnet” will be.
### **What it measures**
* **Stretch from the active MA (in ATR units)**
* **20-day ATR regime direction (expanding or contracting)**
* **Daily MA context: E10, E21, or S50**
### **Why it matters for INMERELOs**
This provides:
* The **target MA**
* The **distance to that MA in ATRs**
* A color-coded stretch score:
* **0.6–1.2 ATR** → prime INMERELO zone (Green)
* Moderately stretched → Orange
* Overstretched or dead zone → Red
An up/down arrow shows whether **volatility is expanding or compressing**, which affects expected retrace behavior.
### **What the indicator gives you**
All INMERELO data is displayed in a second compact line:
* Stretch to MA
* Active MA label (E10/E21/S50)
* ATR regime arrow
This allows fast identification of high-probability **mean-reversion trades back to the MA**.
---
# **Summary**
This indicator shows:
### **Line 1 → ORB Context (ADR)**
* Is the stock setup for a powerful breakout?
* How much ADR is left?
* Are you early (good) or late (risky)?
### **Line 2 → INMERELO Context (ATR + MA Stretch)**
* Which MA is in control today (EMA10, EMA21, or SMA50)?
* How many ATRs away from that MA are we?
* Is volatility expanding or contracting?
* Is this a clean INMERELO setup or not?
Together, these two lines give traders the **two most important intraday lenses**:
**range expansion (ORB)** and **mean reversion (INMERELO)**—updated every bar, without clutter.

Qullamagi EMA Breakout Autotrade (Crypto Futures L+S)Title: Qullamagi EMA Breakout – Crypto Autotrade
Overview
A crypto-focused, Qullamagi-style EMA breakout strategy built for autotrading on futures and perpetual swaps.
It combines a 5-MA trend stack (EMA 10/20, SMA 50/100/200), volatility contraction boxes, volume spikes and an optional higher-timeframe 200-MA filter. The script supports both long and short trades, partial take profit, trailing MA exits and percent-of-equity position sizing for automated crypto futures trading.
Key Features (Crypto)
Qullamagi MA Breakout Engine – trades only when price is aligned with a strong EMA/SMA trend and breaks out of a tight consolidation range. Longs use: Close > EMA10 > EMA20 > SMA50 > SMA100 > SMA200. Shorts are the mirror condition with all MAs sloping in the trend direction.
Strict vs Loose Modes – Strict (Daily) is designed for cleaner swing trades on 1H–4H (full MA stack, box+ATR and volume filters, optional HTF filter). Loose (Intraday) focuses on 10/20/50 alignment with relaxed filters for more frequent 15m–30m signals.
Volatility & Volume Filters for Crypto – ATR-based box height limit to detect volatility contraction, wide-candle filter to avoid chasing exhausted breakouts, and a volume spike condition requiring current volume to exceed an SMA of volume.
Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter (Optional) – uses a 200-period SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 1D). Longs only when HTF close is above the HTF 200-SMA, shorts only when it is below, helping avoid trading against dominant crypto trends.
Autotrade-Oriented Trade Management – position size as % of equity, initial stop anchored to a chosen MA (EMA10 / EMA20 / SMA50) with optional buffer, partial take profit at a configurable R-multiple, trailing MA exit for the remainder, and an optional cooldown after a full exit.
Markets & Timeframes
Best suited for BTC, ETH and major altcoin futures/perpetuals (Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.).
Strict preset: 1H–4H charts for classic Qullamagi-style trend structure and fewer fake breakouts.
Loose preset: 15m–30m charts for higher trade frequency and more active intraday trading.
Always retune ATR length, box length, volume multiplier and position size for each symbol and exchange.
Strategy Logic (Quick Summary)
Long (Strict): MA stack in bullish alignment with all MAs sloping up → tight volatility box (ATR-based) → volume spike above SMA(volume) × multiplier → breakout above box high (close or intrabar) → optional HTF close above 200-SMA.
Short: Mirror logic: bearish MA stack, tight box, volume spike and breakdown below box low with optional HTF downtrend.
Best Practices for Crypto
Backtest on each symbol and timeframe you plan to autotrade, including commissions and slippage.
Start on higher timeframes (1H/4H) to learn the behavior, then move to 15m–30m if you want more signals.
Use the higher-timeframe filter when markets are strongly trending to reduce counter-trend trades.
Keep position-size percentage conservative until you fully understand the drawdowns.
Forward-test / paper trade before connecting to live futures accounts.
Webhook / Autotrade Integration
Designed to work with TradingView webhooks and external crypto trading bots.
Alert messages include structured fields such as: EVENT=ENTRY / SCALE_OUT / EXIT, SIDE=LONG / SHORT, STRATEGY=Qullamagi_MA.
Map each EVENT + SIDE combination to your bot logic (open long/short, partial close, full close, etc.) on your preferred exchange.
Important Notes & Disclaimer
Crypto markets are highly volatile and can change regime quickly. Backtest and forward-test thoroughly before using real capital. Higher timeframes generally produce cleaner MA structures and fewer fake breakouts.
This strategy is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Trading leveraged crypto products involves substantial risk of loss. Always do your own research, manage risk carefully, and never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Gann Square of 144 (Master Price & Time)🔹 What this tool does
Draws a 144-unit square in price & time (0 → 144)
Plots all key horizontal & vertical levels:
0, 18, 36, 48, 54, 72, 90, 96, 108, 126, 144
Highlights the main 1/2 level (72) as thick midline
Marks 1/3 and 2/3 (48 & 96) as special harmonic levels
Draws internal diagonals (0–144, 144–0 and sub-squares)
Plots an 8-ray Gann fan from the 0-point (0 → 36 / 72 / 108 / 144 etc.)
Keeps price–time ratio consistent inside the box:
the 1×1 angle has a fixed slope = price_per_bar
The idea: once the square is calibrated to a major swing, you can study how price respects these angles and harmonic zones over time.
🔧 Inputs & how to set it up correctly
Choose your timeframe
Works best on Daily and Weekly charts.
Use one timeframe consistently when calibrating the square.
Start offset (bars back)
Start offset (bars back) shifts the whole square left/right.
Increase the value to move the square further into the past, decrease it to move it closer to the current bars.
Box width (bars)
Box width (bars) = how many bars the square spans horizontally.
Bigger value = projects the structure further into the future.
Example: 288 bars ≈ 2×144 units in time, 720 bars for longer-term projection, etc.
Bottom price
Bottom price is your 0-level in price.
Usually set this to a major swing low (cycle low, bear market low, important pivot).
The bottom-left corner of the square conceptually sits at:
(start_offset_bar, bottom_price)
Price per bar (slope 1×1) (if your version has this input)
This defines the slope of the 1×1 angle (main Gann angle).
Recommended way to set it:
Pick a major impulsive move from Swing Low → Swing High.
Measure:
Price range = High − Low
Number of bars between them.
Compute:
price_per_bar = price_range / number_of_bars
Use that as your 1×1 value in the input.
Now the main diagonal from 0 to 144 represents the true Gann 1×1 for that swing.
Important: The 1×1 angle is mathematically correct (price-per-bar), even if it does not always look like a perfect 45° line visually in TradingView due to chart scaling.
📖 How to read the Square of 144
Horizontal levels
0 = anchor price (bottom)
18, 36, 48, 54, 72, 90, 96, 108, 126, 144 = key price harmonics
72 (1/2) often acts as major support/resistance
48 & 96 (1/3 and 2/3) are strong “vibration” levels
Vertical levels
Same units but in time (bars).
When important pivots in price occur near these verticals, you get time–price confluence.
Midlines (1/2)
The thick horizontal and vertical lines at 72 mark the center of the square.
Crossings around these often signal important cycle turns.
1/3 & 2/3 zones (48–54 and 90–96)
These narrow bands are powerful reversal / decision zones.
Price often reacts strongly there or accelerates if they break.
Gann fan from 0-point
These rays represent major trends:
1×1 equivalent (main diagonal)
Faster & slower angles (e.g. 2×1, 1×2, etc depending on configuration)
If price breaks one fan angle cleanly, it often “falls” or “climbs” toward the next one.
🎯 Practical use cases
Project future support/resistance zones based on a major low.
See where price is in the square: early in the cycle (0–36), mid (around 72), or late (108–144).
Watch how price respects:
midlines (72),
1/3 and 2/3 bands (48–54, 90–96),
and the fan angles from 0.
Combine with your own price action / Fibonacci / trend tools – this is not a signal generator, but a time–price map.
⚠️ Notes & limitations
This tool is for educational & analytical purposes only.
It does not generate buy/sell signals.
Visual 45° angles in TradingView can change when you zoom or rescale the chart.
→ The script keeps the internal price-per-bar logic stable, even if the drawing looks steeper/flatter when zooming.
Always confirm zones with price action, volume, and higher timeframe context.

Tactical Holding [SwissAlgo]Tactical Holding
A visual framework for managing long-term positions across market cycles
--------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose
Instead of holding a fixed position through all market conditions , you can use this framework to adjust your exposure tactically . By reducing positions during distribution phases and accumulating during favorable accumulation zones, you may end up holding more units of the asset over complete market cycles - even if you temporarily exit or reduce exposure during unfavorable periods. This approach aims to help you compound your holdings by taking advantage of market volatility rather than simply enduring it.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Settings
Timeframe : Weekly (1W) chart
Chart Type : Standard candlesticks (select 'Bar' type Candles)
This indicator is designed for higher timeframe analysis. While it can be applied to other timeframes, the logic and signal generation are optimized for weekly charts to filter out short-term noise and focus on major market cycles.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key Features
♦ Market State Classification
The indicator aims to categorize potential market conditions into five color-coded states based on technical confluences:
* Bull (bright green): Multiple bullish indicators align
* Bull Retrace (teal): Bullish structure with temporary weakness
* Bull ⇆ Bear Reversal (yellow): Transitional phase between trends
* Bear (bright red): Multiple bearish indicators align
* Bear Retrace (Pale Red/Maroon): Bearish structure with temporary strength
♦ Visual Elements
* Candles change color based on the current market state
* A 50-period EMA tracks with the same color coding, providing visual trend context
* Small arrow markers appear when specific pattern conditions are met (zones for potential distribution or accumulation)
* A legend table (toggle on/off) explains the color system
* A label shows the current state name on the chart
♦ Pattern Recognition
The system monitors for two types of potential entry/exit zones:
1. State transition patterns after periods of market regime consistency
2. RSI divergence patterns (when price and momentum move in opposite directions)
♦ Customization
* Toggle the legend table visibility through settings
* All calculations are transparent and use standard technical analysis methods
--------------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
Think of this indicator as a traffic light system for your portfolio:
♦ Green zones suggest the asset might be in an environment where long-term holders historically have remained invested
Bright green (Bull) : Multiple technical indicators align in a potentially strong bullish phase
Pale green (Bull Retrace) : Bullish structure remains intact, but momentum shows temporary weakness - often a pullback within an uptrend
♦ Red zones suggest conditions where long-term holders might consider reducing exposure or waiting for better entry points
Dark red (Bear) : Multiple technical indicators align in a potentially strong bearish phase
Pale red (Bear Retrace) : Bearish structure remains intact but shows temporary strength - often a bounce within a downtrend
♦ Yellow zones indicate the market is in transition between bull and bear regimes - a time for increased attention as the trend direction becomes uncertain
The system doesn't predict future prices. Instead, it helps you understand the current technical environment by doing the heavy lifting of analyzing multiple indicators at once and presenting them in a simple visual format.
Example: During the 2022 crypto bear market, the indicator would have displayed extended red periods, signaling defensive conditions for holders. When accumulation arrows appeared in late 2022-early 2023, it highlighted potential re-entry zones as the technical regime transitioned back toward green, before the 2024 recovery.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Who This Is For
♦ Long-term investors who want to hold assets through cycles but prefer a systematic approach to position sizing and timing rather than buying and never selling .
♦ Portfolio managers looking for a visual tool to help determine when to increase or decrease exposure to specific assets based on technical regime changes.
♦ Swing traders on higher timeframes who want to align their positions with the broader market structure rather than fighting the trend.
This is not designed for:
* Day traders or scalpers
* Those seeking exact entry/exit prices
* Automated trading systems (this is a visual decision-support tool)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Understanding the Visuals
When you apply Tactical Holding to a chart, you'll see:
1. Colored candles - Instantly see what market regime the asset is in
2. Colored EMA line (thick line) - Provides a dynamic support/resistance reference that changes color with market conditions
3. Small arrows (↑ ↓) - Mark bars where specific technical patterns complete
4. State label - Shows current market classification
5. Legend table (top right) - Quick reference guide for the color system
6. Warning banner (top center) - Reminds you to use weekly charts
The visual design prioritizes clarity over complexity. You should be able to glance at a chart and immediately understand the current technical environment.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Important Limitations
This indicator cannot:
* Predict future price movements
* Guarantee profitable trades
* Work equally well on all assets or timeframes
* Replace your own research and risk management
Technical considerations:
* Divergence detection has a 3-bar confirmation lag (by design, to avoid false signals)
* State transitions require multiple technical confirmations, which may cause delayed reactions to rapid market changes
* The system is reactive, not predictive - it responds to price action after it occurs
* Performance varies significantly between trending assets (like Solana) and stable assets (like Apple)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Practical Application
Consider using this indicator as one component of a broader investment framework:
♦ Understanding Position Context:
The color-coded states can help frame your thinking about current holdings:
Bull: Technical conditions that have historically been associated with sustained uptrends
Bull Retrace: Pullbacks within an overall bullish structure- these periods may offer opportunities to evaluate entry points or reassess existing positions
Reversal (Yellow): Transitional phases where the trend direction is unclear - periods that may warrant closer monitoring
Bear Retrace: Temporary strength within an overall bearish structure - rallies that historically have often faded
Bear: Technical conditions that have historically been associated with sustained downtrends
♦ Interpreting Signal Arrows:
Arrow markers indicate when specific technical pattern conditions have been met. These are observation points, not instructions:
A signal appearing doesn't mean immediate action is required
Treat arrows as prompts for further analysis rather than automatic triggers
Consider the broader context: fundamentals, your investment timeline, risk tolerance, and overall market conditions
Signals show when historical technical patterns have formed - not whether those patterns will lead to the same outcomes as in the past
The framework is designed to organize information visually, not to tell you what to do. Your investment decisions should incorporate this technical perspective alongside other factors relevant to your situation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Methodology
For transparency, the indicator uses:
* RSI (14) with a 14-period SMA to assess momentum direction
* MACD (12,26,9) to confirm trend strength and histogram momentum
* Stochastic RSI with K and D line crossovers for additional confirmation
* 50-period EMA as the primary trend filter
* Linear regression-based slope analysis to detect flat/transitional periods
* Pivot-based divergence detection following standard technical analysis principles
All calculations use publicly available technical analysis formulas. Nothing is hidden or proprietary beyond the specific combination and weighting of these standard tools.

Market Breadth - [JTCAPITAL]Market Breadth - is a comprehensive crypto market strength and sentiment indicator designed to visualize the overall bullish or bearish alignment across 40 major cryptocurrencies. By combining multi-asset Exponential Moving Average (EMA) comparisons and smoothing techniques, it offers a clean, aggregated view of the broader market trend—helping traders quickly assess whether the market is dominated by bullish momentum or bearish pressure.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Symbol Selection and Data Retrieval
The script monitors 40 leading cryptocurrencies based on Market Cap. Each asset’s daily close price is requested using a 1D timeframe. This ensures that every data point reflects the same temporal resolution, allowing the indicator to evaluate global crypto strength rather than individual token volatility.
EMA Comparison per Asset
For each asset, two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are calculated:
A short-term EMA with period emalength (default 10).
A long-term EMA with period emalength2 (default 20).
Each coin receives a score of +1 when the short-term EMA is greater than the long-term EMA (indicating bullish structure), or -1 when it is below (indicating bearish structure). This binary scoring system effectively converts individual price action into a directional sentiment measure.
Market Breadth Aggregation
All 40 individual scores are summed into a single composite value called scores .
If many assets have bullish EMA alignment, the total score becomes strongly positive.
If the majority show bearish alignment, the total score turns negative.
This step transforms scattered price data into one unified market breadth metric—quantifying how many assets participate in the same directional trend.
Smoothing the Breadth Line
To reduce short-term noise and isolate trend direction, the aggregated score is smoothed using an EMA of length = smoothlen (default 15). The resulting smoothed line helps identify sustained shifts in collective sentiment rather than temporary fluctuations.
Visualization and Color Coding
When scores > 0 , the market breadth is bullish and the histogram is colored blue.
When scores < 0 , the breadth turns bearish and the histogram is purple.
The same logic applies to the smoothed line and background color, offering an instant visual cue of market mood transitions.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
The indicator itself does not trigger direct buy/sell signals but rather acts as a market regime filter . Traders can use it as follows:
Buy Filter: When the smoothed value is above zero and rising, the majority of assets confirm an uptrend — this favors long setups or trend continuation entries.
Sell Filter: When the smoothed value is below zero and falling, bearish alignment dominates — ideal for short setups or defensive risk management.
Optional filters could include combining this with RSI or volume-weighted momentum indicators to confirm breadth-based reversals.
Features and Parameters:
emalength – Defines the short-term EMA length used for individual asset trend detection (default 10).
emalength2 – Defines the long-term EMA length (default 20).
smoothlen – Defines the smoothing EMA length for the total market breadth line (default 15).
40 asset inputs – User-editable symbols allow full customization of which cryptos are tracked.
Dynamic color backgrounds – Visual distinction between bullish and bearish phases.
Specifications:
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
EMA is a type of moving average that places more weight on recent price data, responding faster to market changes compared to SMA. By comparing a short-term and long-term EMA, the indicator captures momentum shifts across each asset individually. The crossover logic (EMA10 > EMA20) signals bullish conditions, while the opposite indicates bearish momentum.
Market Breadth
Market Breadth quantifies how many assets are participating in a directional move. Instead of tracking a single coin’s trend, breadth analysis measures collective sentiment. When most coins’ short-term EMAs are above long-term EMAs, the market shows healthy bullish breadth. Conversely, when most are below, weakness dominates.
Smoothing (EMA on Scores)
After summing the breadth score, the result is smoothed with an additional EMA to mitigate the inherent volatility caused by individual coin reversals. This second-level smoothing transforms raw fluctuations into a readable, trend-consistent curve.
Color Visualization
Visual cues are integral for intuitive interpretation.
Blue Shades: Indicate bullish alignment and collective upward momentum.
Purple Shades: Indicate bearish conditions and potential risk-off phases.
The background tint reinforces visual clarity even when the indicator is overlaid on price charts.
Background Logic
By applying the same color logic to the chart’s background, users can instantly recognize the prevailing market phase.
Use Cases
As a trend confirmation filter for other indicators (e.g., trade only in the direction of positive breadth).
As a divergence tool : when price rises but breadth weakens, it may signal a topping market.
As a macro sentiment monitor : perfect for assessing when the crypto market as a whole transitions from bearish to bullish structure.
Summary
“ Market Breadth - ” transforms the chaotic price movements of 40 cryptocurrencies into a single, powerful visual representation of overall market health. By merging EMA cross analysis with market-wide aggregation and smoothing , it provides traders with a deep understanding of when bullish or bearish forces dominate the ecosystem.
It’s a clean, data-driven approach to identifying shifts in crypto market sentiment — a perfect companion for trend-following, macro analysis, and timing portfolio exposure.

VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS‑BASED RESET)VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS-BASED RESET) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that combines pivot-based breakout detection with resettable VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) calculations over user-defined rolling time periods in seconds.It identifies high and low swing pivots via breakout logic, then calculates two VWAP lines per anchor:One using high/low as the price source,
One using close as the price source.
These form "pivot pairs" that reset automatically at the start of each custom-duration period (e.g., every 300 seconds), starting from a user-defined UTC time of day (default: 09:30 UTC).Visuals include:Colored VWAP lines (high pair: red, low pair: green),
Semi-transparent fill zones between each pair,
Optional toggles to show/hide high or low pairs.
Use CasesUse Case
Description
Intraday Scalping (1–15 min charts)
Use 60–300 second resets to capture micro-trends within larger sessions. VWAP pairs act as dynamic support/resistance after breakouts.
High-Frequency / Algo Validation
Backtest strategies on tick/second charts where traditional session resets fail. Align resets with exchange micro-sessions or volatility windows.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Enhancement
Set period_seconds = 1800 (30 min) and start time = 09:30 UTC → VWAP builds only on first 30 mins post-open, then floats. Pairs show deviation from ORB mean.
Range-Bound Market Analysis
In choppy markets, VWAP pairs converge near fair value. Divergence signals potential breakout. Fill color intensity shows conviction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Overlay on 1-second chart with 300s reset → matches 5-minute structure. Use close-based VWAP for entries, high/low-based for stops.

In short: This is a precision VWAP tool for time-boxed, pivot-driven mean reversion and breakout trading, ideal for scalpers, day traders, and algo developers needing sub-session granularity.
Higher Timeframe Candle LevelsThis is an indicator that shows higher time frame candle levels from various preset timeframes. These higher time frame candles act as support and resistance levels, so look for reversals and continuations off of these levels. When price exceeds the high or low of these levels, you should look for breakouts in the same direction and trade with the trend.
It includes candle levels for the following timeframes: 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter and 1 year. The indicator also includes a trend candle coloring feature, trend strength scoring table, stop loss feature, line identification labels, alerts for trend changes, alerts for level touches and full customization of all options.
How To Trade With This Indicator
These higher timeframe candle levels will act as support and resistance levels, so look for price to react at any of the levels you have turned on and then look for potential bounce or reversal signs at those levels so you can trade those direction changes. Price outside of the higher timeframe candle highs and low typically signals a breakout as well, so look for price to continue after passing the highs or lows.
You can use the direction of the higher timeframe candles as your trend as well. Try to only trade in the direction of the trend of the higher timeframes to increase the likelihood of your trade going in your favor.
The highs and lows of daily and up levels are excellent levels to find quick reversal off of. Watch for price action to struggle to break through these levels and then trade the reversal. If price breaks through these levels easily, watch for price to retest the level and then continue beyond that level. Trade the retest in the direction of the trend.
The open, close and midline levels are excellent for trading bounces. Watch for price to form wicks beyond these levels and close on the other side and use that as a sign that price may bounce there. Use that with price action to confirm your trade and then take trades off of those level bounces.
Use the alerts for daily and up timeframe level touches across all of your favorite markets so that way you are always notified in real time when price is at a level that could provide a potential trading opportunity.
Higher Time Frame Candle Levels
The indicator shows the current candle open, previous open, previous high, previous low, previous close and previous candle body midline levels of each candle for each time frame. This helps you easily see what is going on with the higher time frame candles and read the price action from your lower time frame charts.
Each candle level will paint red if it was a down candle or green if it was an up candle, except the midlines and current candle open lines, those are a different color for easy differentiation. The line colors can be customized to your preferences in the settings and you can also toggle the candle body coloring on or off, as well as change the color of the candle body background.
Each timeframe can be adjusted to your preferences, allowing you to turn all of the levels on or off. You can also adjust how many previous candles show up on your chart so you can backtest it and see for yourself how accurate these levels are.
When adjusting the number of candles, you will get a notification if you have more than 500 lines turned on, so just turn down the number of levels for whatever timeframe you can’t see on your chart to lower that number below 500. The notification will go away once you are under 500 lines again. Each candle has 6 lines if all levels are turned on for that timeframe: open, current candle open, close, high, low and midline. The default settings keep you under 500 lines total, so just be aware of that limitation when adjusting those numbers and adjust the number of levels down on the timeframes that are not useful on the current chart bar.
You can also extend the levels right on any time frame from the daily levels and above. This is useful when price is breaking above or below all levels and you need to know if there are any other previous candle levels in the way as price moves away from the most recent higher time frame candles.
To understand the intraday trend of each higher time frame, look to see where price is at according to each higher time frame candle. If the price is above the midline of the candle, it is bullish. If the price is above the candle body it is more bullish. If the price is above the high, it is very bullish. If the price is below the midline of the candle, it is bearish. If the price is below the candle body it is more bearish. If the price is below the low, it is very bearish. Make sure you backtest this yourself and go through lots of historical data to get a feel for how price reacts to these levels and establishes the trend. Then use that trend information to your advantage and trade in the direction of the trend.
Since users are limited to a certain amount of historical bars based on which Tradingview plan you have, some longer timeframe levels won’t show up because the start of that candle is too far back in history. You will get a notification at the top of that chart if that happens. It will tell you to lower the display timeframe for that timeframe until that notification goes away, which means it was able to plot the most recent candle for that timeframe on your chart.
Trend Candle Coloring
The indicator includes a feature that paints the candles based on whether the current time frame candles are above or below the most recent midline, candle body or high & low of a higher time frame candle of your choice. This helps you see the overall trend of the higher timeframe so you can trade with the trend.
The candle coloring will have an up color, down color and neutral color which can all be customized to suit your preferences. If the current time frame candle close is above the setting you choose, it will show the up color. If the current time frame candle close is below the setting you choose, it will show the down color. If the current time frame candle close is equal to or in the middle of the setting you chose, it will show the neutral color.
So, for example if you set it to candle body, then it will show the up color if the current candle is above the top of the candle body, down color if it is below the bottom of the candle body and neutral color if it is inside the candle body. This helps you wait for price action to move beyond the inside of the previous higher time frame candle before taking a position when price is breaking out of that previous candle so you can trade the momentum of that move. The candle coloring is fully customizable, but make sure to turn off your candle coloring on other indicators and your chart settings for it to show up properly.
Trend Strength Scoring Table
The trend strength scoring table displays a table at the bottom of the screen(table position is customizable), showing a score for the trend strength of each higher time frame. If the current candle close is above the midline, its strength is 1. If the current candle close is above the midline, but below the top of the candle body, its strength is 2. If the current candle close is above the high, its strength is 3. The same goes for below the midline, bottom of the candle body and below the low, but the scores would be negative 1, 2 or 3 instead.
This trend strength table allows you to quickly identify the trend on each higher time frame so you can wait until the trend is the same across all time frames before placing a trade in the direction of the trend. It also shows a total score on the far right side that adds all of the current trend scores together to give you a total strength score. Try to only trade when that number is very high compared to how many time frames you have turned on. Each time frame can have up to a maximum score of 3 if bullish and -3 if bearish. Each time frame in the table can be turned on or off to suit your preferences.
Stop Loss Feature
There is also a stop loss feature that you can set to whatever time frame you choose and whatever direction you chose, such as long or short. It will follow the most recent higher time frame candle’s trend using one of the following settings: candle body, high & low or midline. Once a new higher time frame candle is created, the stop loss will update to the most recent candle’s levels so you can use these levels as a trailing stop loss to maximize your wins.
If you have it set to use the candle body and it is set to long mode, then the stop loss will use the previous higher time frame candle’s lowest candle body level. So if it was an up candle previously, it will use the open. If it was a down candle previously, it will use the close. The opposite is true for short positions.
The stop loss will start working once you turn it on in the settings and will update automatically as new higher time frame candles are formed. It also shows a line of where the stop loss was previously since it was turned on.
I recommend using the high & low setting, especially when the market starts trending.
Candle Level Identification Labels
There are labels for each level starting with the 4 hour time frame and above so you can easily tell what level of each candle you are looking at, even if the rest of the candle is not showing within the chart pane. You can customize the label coloring for up candles and down candles and midlines as well as adjust the number of bars that the labels are offset from the current bar so they are visible on your chart without overlapping the current price action or other indicator labels. Labels for each time frame can be turned on or off as needed. The 1 hour labels were not included because it clogs up the chart, but it has labels for all time frames from the 4 hour candles and up.
Alerts
The indicator includes alerts for when the trend has changed to the opposite direction. The trend change alert is based on your settings for the Trend Candle Coloring. Whatever settings you have the trend candle coloring set to, will be used to set up your alerts. The Trend Candle Coloring setting must be turned on as well when creating your alerts for it to work properly. Make sure to backtest your settings and then create your alerts.
It also has alerts for when price is touching an open or close, high or low, midline or any of those levels for each timeframe. This allows you to be notified when price touches one of these levels so you can check the chart and look for potential trade opportunities if price wants to bounce off of that level. To make it easy for you to get alerts on many different tickers, just use the alert for any level touch on whatever timeframes you want.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Trend Strength Indicator so you can visually see the historic and current trend for all of these levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
Quasimodo Pattern Strategy Back Test [TradingFinder] QM Trading🔵 Introduction
The QM pattern, also known as the Quasimodo pattern, is one of the popular patterns in price action, and it is often used by technical analysts. The QM pattern is used to identify trend reversals and provides a very good risk-to-reward ratio. One of the advantages of the QM pattern is its high frequency and visibility in charts.
Additionally, due to its strength, it is highly profitable, and as mentioned, its risk-to-reward ratio is very good. The QM pattern is highly popular among traders in supply and demand, and traders also use this pattern.
The Price Action QM pattern, like other Price Action patterns, has two types: Bullish QM and Bearish QM patterns. To identify this pattern, you need to be familiar with its types to recognize it.
🔵 Identifying the QM Pattern
🟣 Bullish QM
In the bullish QM pattern, as you can see in the image below, an LL and HH are formed. As you can see, the neckline is marked as a dashed line. When the price reaches this range, it will start its upward movement.
🟣 Bearish QM
The Price Action QM pattern also has a bearish pattern. As you can see in the image below, initially, an HH and LL are formed. The neckline in this image is the dashed line, and when the LL is formed, the price reaches this neckline. However, it cannot pass it, and the downward trend resumes.
🔵 How to Use
The Quasimodo pattern is one of the clearest structures used to identify market reversals. It is built around the concept of a structural break followed by a pullback into an area of trapped liquidity. Instead of relying on lagging indicators, this pattern focuses purely on price action and how the market reacts after exhausting one side of liquidity. When understood correctly, it provides traders with precise entry points at the transition between trend phases.
🟣 Bullish Quasimodo
A bullish Quasimodo forms after a clear downtrend when sellers start losing control. The market continues to make lower lows until a sudden higher high appears, signaling that buyers are entering with strength. Price then pulls back to retest the previous low, creating what is known as the Quasimodo low.
This area often becomes the final trap for sellers before the market shifts upward. A visible rejection or displacement from this zone confirms bullish momentum. Traders usually place entries near this level, stops below the low, and targets at previous highs or the next resistance zone. Combining the setup with demand zones or Fair Value Gaps increases its accuracy.
🟣 Bearish Quasimodo
A bearish Quasimodo forms near the top of an uptrend when buyers begin to lose strength. The market continues to make higher highs until a sudden lower low breaks the bullish structure, showing that selling pressure is entering the market. Price then retraces upward to retest the previous high, forming the Quasimodo high, where breakout buyers are often trapped.
Once rejection appears at this level, it indicates a likely reversal. Traders can enter short near this area, with stop-losses placed above the high and targets near the next support or previous lows. The setup gains more reliability when aligned with supply zones, SMT divergence, or bearish Fair Value Gaps.
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period : You can use this parameter to use your desired period to identify the QM pattern. By default, this parameter is set to the number 5.
Take Profit Mode : You can choose your desired Take Profit in three ways. Based on the logic of the QM strategy, you can select two Take Profit levels, TP1 and TP2. You can also choose your take profit based on the Reward to Risk ratio. You must enter your desired R/R in the Reward to Risk Ratio parameter.
Stop Loss Refine : The loss limit of the QM strategy is based on its logic on the Head pattern. You can refine it using the ATR Refine option to prevent Stop Hunt. You can enter your desired coefficient in the Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient parameter.
Reward to Risk Ratio : If you set Take Profit Mode to R/R, you must enter your desired R/R here. For example, if your loss limit is 10 pips and you set R/R to 2, your take profit will be reached when the price is 20 pips away from your entry point.
Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient : If you set Stop Loss Refine to ATR Refine, you must adjust your loss limit coefficient here. For example, if your buy position's loss limit is at the price of 1000, and your ATR is 10, if you set Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient to 2, your loss limit will be at the price of 980.
Entry Level Validity : Determines how long the Entry level remains valid. The higher the level, the longer the entry level will remain valid. By default it is 2 and it can be set between 2 and 15.

ATR Daily (Classic vs Robust, NY-Fix, Spike Control)📘 What this indicator does
This tool provides an advanced view of daily market volatility by comparing two versions of the Average True Range (ATR):
• Classic ATR — standard Wilder smoothing
• Robust ATR — uses median-based filtering and spike-control logic to reduce distortion from abnormal candles
Both values are calculated using daily data aligned to the New York trading session, so volatility resets at the same moment each institutional trading day begins. This keeps readings consistent across crypto, forex and stocks, even on intraday charts.
⚙️ How it works (in simple terms)
The script evaluates each True Range (TR) value relative to a median-based threshold:
• Abnormally large ranges are either clamped to a limit or excluded from updating ATR
• A hard cap prevents single spikes from inflating the entire indicator
• The result is a smoother and more realistic representation of daily volatility
This allows ATR to reflect typical market behaviour instead of rare one-off events.
📊 What appears on the chart
• Two daily ATR lines (Classic and Robust)
• Histogram showing the percentage of daily range already completed
• Red bars when price exceeds 100% of daily ATR
• A data table with volatility metrics
• Background highlights on days with extreme values
💡 How traders can use it
• Identify when a market has already completed most of its typical daily move
• Compare Classic vs Robust ATR to spot news-driven distortion
• Use Robust ATR for more stable stop-loss and take-profit logic
• Track volatility expansion or contraction across sessions
⚙️ Key settings
Setting Purpose
ATR period Standard smoothing length (default 14)
Robust mode Clamp, Freeze or Off
MAD multiplier Sensitivity to outliers
Cap × median(TR) Maximum allowed spike size
Base for passed ATR Which ATR is used to measure daily %
Freeze weekends Keeps ATR unchanged on Sat/Sun
🧩 Unique concept
Unlike typical ATR indicators, this one combines robust statistics (median + MAD) with session-based fixation. ATR values update only once per New York session, creating stable volatility measurements that match institutional timing.
🔒 Source code
The script is published with protected source code to preserve its statistical structure and prevent unauthorized modification.
🧭 Summary
ATR Daily (Classic vs Robust, NY-Fix) provides a clearer and more reliable view of daily volatility.
It helps determine whether the market is still in the early phase of its daily range or already exhausted.

Advanced Tips
Scalping Psychology
Be patient: Wait for Score 5+ setups
Be decisive: When signal appears, act immediately
Be disciplined: Follow your stop loss always
Be flexible: Exit quickly if dashboard reverses
Optimization
Backtest on your specific instrument
Adjust RSI/Stoch levels for your market
Fine-tune volume thresholds
Keep a trade journal to track which setups work best
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Use 5-min dashboard as "trend filter"
Take 1-min trades only in direction of 5-min SCALP signal
Increases win rate by ~10-15%
Troubleshooting
Q: Dashboard shows WAIT most of the time
Normal - scalping is about patience. Quality > Quantity
3-8 good setups per day is excellent
Q: Too many false signals
Increase minimum Score requirement to 5 or 6
Only trade with volume surge (yellow backgrounds)
Add large order detection confirmation
Q: Signals too slow
You may be on too high a timeframe
Try 1-minute chart for faster signals
Ensure real-time data feed is active
Q: Support/Resistance not updating
Normal - updates every 3 bars
If completely stuck, remove and re-add indicator
Summary
This scalping system works best when:
✅ Multiple indicators align (Score 5+)
✅ Volume and tape speed confirm the move
✅ Order flow (diamonds) confirms direction
✅ Price is at key levels (support/resistance)
✅ You manage risk strictly
✅ You exit before market close
The golden rule: When SCALP says WAIT, you WAIT. Discipline beats frequency.
Squeeze Go Momentum Pro [KingThies] █ OVERVIEW
The Squeeze Momentum Pro indicator identifies volatility compression phases and breakout opportunities by comparing Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels. When price consolidates (squeeze), the bands contract inside the channels, signaling an imminent breakout. The momentum histogram shows directional bias, helping traders anticipate which way price will move when the squeeze releases.
This indicator displays in a separate panel below the price chart, providing clear visual signals without cluttering price action.
█ KEY FEATURES
Momentum Histogram
The histogram is the primary visual element, displaying momentum strength and direction with four distinct color states:
• Dark Green (#00C853) — Strong bullish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening upward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Green (#26A69A) — Bullish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bullish territory but upward force is weakening.
• Dark Red (#D32F2F) — Strong bearish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening downward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Red (#EF5350) — Bearish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bearish territory but downward force is weakening.
The color intensity provides immediate feedback on momentum strength and trend health.
Squeeze State Indicator
Colored dots on the zero line communicate the current volatility state:
• Orange Dots — Squeeze is ON. Bollinger Bands have contracted inside Keltner Channels, indicating consolidation and low volatility.
A breakout is building and traders should prepare for directional movement.
• Green Dots — Squeeze is OFF. Bollinger Bands have expanded outside Keltner Channels, indicating active momentum and higher volatility.
Price is moving with conviction in the current direction.
• Gray Dots — Neutral state. The bands are transitioning between squeeze states.
Release Triangles
Triangle shapes mark the exact bar when a squeeze releases, providing precise entry timing:
• Green Triangle Up — Bullish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with positive momentum, suggesting a long setup opportunity.
• Red Triangle Down — Bearish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with negative momentum, suggesting a short setup opportunity.
Information Panel
A compact dashboard in the top-right corner displays real-time trading intelligence:
• Squeeze Status — Current state: ON, OFF, or NEUTRAL with color coding
• Momentum Direction — Current bias: BULL or BEAR
• Momentum Value — Precise numerical reading of momentum strength
• Trading Signal — Actionable status: LONG SETUP, SHORT SETUP, WAIT, or MONITOR
Configurable Parameters
All calculation inputs are adjustable to match your trading style and timeframe:
• BB Length — Bollinger Bands period (default: 20)
• BB StdDev — Bollinger Bands standard deviation multiplier (default: 2.0)
• KC Length — Keltner Channels period (default: 20)
• KC ATR Multiplier — Keltner Channels range multiplier (default: 1.5)
• Momentum Length — Linear regression period for momentum calculation (default: 20)
Alert System
Four alert conditions notify you of critical trading opportunities:
• Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bullish momentum, indicating a potential long entry
• Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bearish momentum, indicating a potential short entry
• Squeeze Started — Volatility compression detected, prepare for upcoming breakout
• Squeeze Ended — Volatility expansion confirmed, breakout is active
█ TRADING METHODOLOGY
The indicator follows a clear four-step process for identifying and trading squeeze breakouts:
1 - Wait for Orange Dots . When orange dots appear on the zero line, a squeeze is building. This indicates price consolidation and declining volatility.
Do not enter trades during this phase. Instead, prepare by identifying key support and resistance levels and potential breakout directions.
2 - Watch for Release Triangle . When a triangle appears, the squeeze has released and a breakout is beginning. This is your entry signal.
The triangle color (green up or red down) combined with the histogram direction indicates the breakout direction.
3 - Confirm with Histogram Direction . Check the momentum histogram for directional confirmation:
• Green histogram + green triangle up = Go long. Bullish momentum supports upward breakout.
• Red histogram + red triangle down = Go short. Bearish momentum supports downward breakout.
4 - Monitor Momentum Intensity . Stay in the trade while histogram bars maintain their dark, intense color.
When colors lighten (dark green to light green, or dark red to light red), momentum is weakening and you should consider taking profits or tightening stops.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Squeeze Detection Logic
A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Standard deviation of price decreases (BB narrows)
• Price consolidates within a tight range
• Volatility compresses to unsustainable levels
The orange dots signal this condition, warning traders that explosive movement is imminent.
Squeeze Release Logic
A squeeze releases when Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Price volatility increases sharply
• Price breaks out of consolidation
• Volume typically expands (check volume separately)
The green dots and release triangles signal this condition, indicating the direction and timing of the breakout.
Momentum Reading
The histogram uses linear regression to calculate momentum relative to the midpoint of the recent range:
• Above Zero : Price is trading above the range midpoint with bullish pressure
• Below Zero : Price is trading below the range midpoint with bearish pressure
• Increasing Bars : Momentum is strengthening in the current direction (darker color)
• Decreasing Bars : Momentum is weakening in the current direction (lighter color)
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Timeframe Selection — The indicator works on all timeframes but performs best on 15-minute to daily charts.
Lower timeframes may produce more false signals due to noise.
• Confluence Trading — Combine squeeze releases with support/resistance levels, trend lines, or other indicators for higher probability setups.
• Volume Confirmation — Check that squeeze releases occur with increasing volume. Low volume breakouts are more likely to fail.
• Multiple Timeframe Analysis — Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction. Trade squeeze releases that align with the larger trend.
• Parameter Adjustment — Increase BB and KC lengths for smoother signals on higher timeframes. Decrease for more sensitive signals on lower timeframes.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator does not predict breakout direction before the squeeze releases. The momentum histogram provides bias but is not definitive until the breakout occurs.
• False breakouts can occur, particularly in choppy or low-volume market conditions. Always use proper risk management and stop losses.
• The indicator works best in trending markets. In deeply ranging markets with no clear direction, squeeze signals may be less reliable.
• Momentum calculations use linear regression which can lag during extremely fast price movements. Confirm signals with price action.
█ NOTES
This implementation uses linear regression for momentum calculation rather than simple moving averages, providing more responsive and accurate directional signals. The four-color histogram system gives traders nuanced feedback on momentum strength that binary color schemes cannot provide.
The indicator automatically adjusts to any symbol and timeframe without modification, making it suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets.

Trend Engine [MMT]The Trend Engine is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to identify trend direction, potential reversals, and key price levels using a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). This indicator provides traders with a clear visual representation of market bias, momentum, and key support/resistance levels, making it suitable for both trend-following and pullback trading strategies.
Key Features:
1. EMA Cloud System:
- Displays three customizable EMAs (Fast, Pullback, and Slow) with configurable lengths and visibility.
- Creates two cloud fills:
- Fast Cloud : Between the Fast EMA (default: 8) and Pullback EMA (default: 13).
- Slow Cloud : Between the Pullback EMA and Slow EMA (default: 21).
- Clouds are color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish) based on EMA alignment, with adjustable transparency for clarity.
2. Bias EMA:
- A longer-term EMA (default: 35) indicates the overall market bias.
- Changes color based on whether the regular candle close is above (green) or below (red) the Bias EMA, providing a clear trend direction signal.
3. Heikin Ashi Signals:
- Utilizes Heikin Ashi candles to detect strong bullish or bearish momentum.
- Generates buy/sell signals when a Heikin Ashi candle confirms a trend (bullish HA candle closing above Bias EMA for buy, bearish HA candle closing below for sell).
- Signal arrows are currently disabled but can be enabled via settings for visual confirmation.
4. Anchored VWAP and Standard VWAP:
- Plots both a standard VWAP and an Anchored VWAP (anchored to the US RTH session, 09:30–16:00 EST).
- Customizable line styles (solid, cross, or circles) and colors for both VWAPs, aiding in identifying dynamic support/resistance levels.
5. Background and Candle Coloring:
- Optional background coloring reflects the market bias (green for bullish, red for bearish) based on the regular close relative to the Bias EMA.
- Optional Heikin Ashi candle coloring to visually distinguish bullish and bearish market conditions.
6. Regular Candle Close:
- Option to plot the regular (non-Heikin Ashi) close price with customizable styles (line, circles, or cross) for reference.
7. Alerts:
- Built-in alert conditions for bullish and bearish signals, allowing traders to receive notifications when a Heikin Ashi candle confirms a trend relative to the Bias EMA.
How to Use:
- Trend Identification : Use the Bias EMA and background color to determine the overall market direction.
- Pullback Trading : Monitor the EMA clouds for alignment (bullish or bearish) and use the Pullback EMA for entries during retracements.
- Support/Resistance : Leverage the VWAP and Anchored VWAP as dynamic levels for trade entries or exits.
- Signal Confirmation : Enable signal arrows (when fixed) to spot high-probability trend continuation or reversal setups.
- Customization : Adjust EMA lengths, colors, transparency, and visibility to suit your trading style and timeframe.
Settings:
- EMA Cloud : Customize lengths (default: 8, 13, 21), visibility, and cloud colors/transparency.
- Bias EMA : Adjust length (default: 35) and colors for above/below states.
- VWAP : Toggle standard and Anchored VWAP, with customizable styles and colors.
- Background/Candles : Enable/disable background and candle coloring for visual clarity.
- Regular Close : Show/hide the regular close price with style options.
Notes:
- Designed for use on any timeframe, but most effective on intraday (e.g., 5m, 15m) or daily charts.
- Best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
- Anchored VWAP is tailored for US markets (RTH session) but can be adjusted for other sessions by modifying the anchor time in the code.
Ideal For:
- Day traders and swing traders looking for trend direction and pullback opportunities.
- Traders using VWAP-based strategies for intraday support/resistance.
- Those seeking a clean, customizable visual aid for market bias and momentum.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders aiming to capture trends and manage risk effectively, with extensive customization to adapt to various markets and trading styles.
ICMR — Chrono Maker Range (v12.7.1)✅ ICMR — Chrono Maker Range (v12.7) — Description (Balanced Technical + Friendly)
ICMR — Chrono Maker Range is a hybrid market-structure tool designed to help traders clearly identify directional bias and high-quality breakouts using either Higher-Timeframe (HTF) ranges or Initial Balance (IB) ranges. The indicator automatically builds the range, colors candles by market state, and highlights breakout signals using smart filters to reduce noise.
The concept is simple:
Price is either above the range (Bullish), inside the range (Neutral), or below the range (Bearish)—and ICMR keeps this state stable and easy to follow.
🔷 How It Works
ICMR constructs a tradable range using one of two modes:
1) HTF Range Mode
Pulls the High / Low from a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily, 4H).
You can choose:
Previous HTF candle → stable, non-moving range
Current HTF candle → dynamic, expands until HTF close
Perfect for tracking market bias across smaller timeframes.
2) Initial Balance (IB) Mode
Builds the range from the first N minutes of the session (e.g., first 60 minutes).
After the IB period ends, the range locks and becomes the day’s framework.
🔷 Market State Logic
The indicator evaluates where price is relative to the range and classifies the market into:
✅ Bullish → price breaks above the range
⚪ Neutral → price stays inside
❌ Bearish → price breaks below
You can optionally enable an EMA Trend Filter (fast vs slow EMA) to ensure breakouts align with trend direction.
🔷 Smart Signal System
ICMR includes compact signal shapes (triangles/circles), but only when conditions are strong:
✔️ Minimum breakout distance beyond the range
✔️ Candle body must exceed a % of ATR
✔️ Optional volume expansion filter
✔️ Cooldown between signals to avoid over-trading
✔️ Option to trigger signals only on state flips
These filters help keep signals actionable and reduce noise.
🔷 Visual Tools
HTF/IB Range High, Range Low, Midline
Optional shaded box
Segmented extend-right lines that reset when HTF/IB changes
Bar coloring (Bull/Neutral/Bear)
Soft background tint (optional)
Built-in info panel with range & filter stats
Alerts on state flips
Everything is designed to keep the chart clean and readable.
🔷 Presets
The indicator includes two ready-to-use profiles:
Conservative
Stable HTF ranges, confirmed breaks, trend-filtered signals, and fewer alerts.
Aggressive
Dynamic HTF ranges, more flexible break rules, and more frequent signals.
Each preset can be fully customized.
🔷 How Traders Use It
Intraday traders use HTF ranges (D, 4H) for bias on 1m–15m charts.
Day traders use IB to track the opening range and breakout opportunities.
Swing traders use conservative settings to filter false moves.
Scalpers enable aggressive mode with ATR/volume filters.

BUY/SELL/R/BBuy/Sell/R/B by SeanKidd
Purpose: A clean, anchored signal system combining StochRSI crossovers, CVI top/bottom detection, and a MACD direction line that moves with price.
⚙️ How It Works
BUY / SELL – Generated from a higher-timeframe StochRSI crossover.
BUY (Green) → %K crosses above %D
SELL (Red) → %K crosses below %D
R (Reverse) – Yellow “R” appears above the candle when the CVI model detects a local top or exhaustion point.
B (Bottom) – Blue “B” appears below the candle when CVI detects a local bottom.
MACD Direction Line –
Green = MACD above Signal → bullish momentum
Red = MACD below Signal → bearish momentum
The line rides just above the candles, offset by ATR so it always tracks price.
🧭 How to Use It
Add the indicator:
Search for Buy/Sell/R/B by SeanKidd under Community Scripts.
Click ★ to favorite it.
Apply it to your chart.
Open ⚙️ Settings → Inputs
Calculation Timeframe (StochRSI) → pick how fast or slow you want signals (default Weekly).
MACD Line Offset (ATR ×) → raise or lower the MACD line if it overlaps candles.
Adjust Top/Bottom thresholds to control how often R/B appear.
Toggle Highlight bars or Color candles for visual clarity.
Go to Settings → Scales and ensure it’s set to
✅ “Scale with Price Chart” or
✅ same scale side as the candles.
This keeps everything perfectly attached to the chart.
Optional: Add alerts
Create → Alert → Condition → Buy/Sell/R/B by SeanKidd
Choose: SRSI BUY, SRSI SELL, Top (R), or Bottom (B).
📈 Reading the Chart
Marker Meaning Color Position
BUY StochRSI %K cross above %D Lime Below bar
SELL StochRSI %K cross below %D Red Above bar
R CVI-detected top / reversal Yellow Above bar
B CVI-detected bottom Blue Below bar
Line MACD momentum direction Green/Red Above highs
💡 Tips
Works on any symbol or timeframe.
Slower charts (Daily–Weekly) give cleaner swing signals.
Faster charts (15m–1h) show short-term reversals.
Combine the MACD line direction with BUY/SELL for stronger confirmation.
Risk-On / Risk-Off Toolkit [SB1] (NQ, RTY, YM) VIXDescription:
The Risk-On / Risk-Off Toolkit is a professional-grade market context indicator designed to help traders quickly identify broad market sentiment shifts and gauge risk appetite. By combining major US equity futures (NQ, RTY, YM) with VIX dynamics, this toolkit provides clear visual signals of “Risk-On” (bullish, lower volatility environment) and “Risk-Off” (bearish, higher volatility environment) conditions. This is ideal for traders using discretionary analysis, swing strategies, intraday scalping, or portfolio positioning decisions.
My Personal Thoughts: Utilize all 3 charts to Identify which is Leading and who is lagging between the 3 (NQ, RTY, YM) Key Features:
Futures Trend Analysis:
Monitors the Nasdaq 100 (NQ), Russell 2000 (RTY), and Dow Jones (YM) futures in real-time.
Determines bullish/bearish bias based on each futures contract’s current close relative to its open.
Identifies when all three indices are moving in sync, highlighting broad market directional alignment.
VIX Confirmation:
Integrates the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) to gauge market risk sentiment.
Confirms Risk-On conditions when VIX is falling while all three futures are bullish.
Confirms Risk-Off conditions when VIX is rising while all three futures are bearish.
Optional background shading visually highlights Risk-On (green) and Risk-Off (red) conditions for quick, intuitive assessment.
Strong Body Candle Signals:
Detects high conviction candlestick moves where the body represents at least 85% of the total range.
Confirms whether the candle closes near its extreme (top for bullish, bottom for bearish) within 15% of the range.
Plots arrows for strong bullish or bearish candles:
Green triangle-up for bullish strong candles
Red triangle-down for bearish strong candles
Provides a visual cue for intraday or swing traders to confirm trend momentum without cluttering the chart with labels.
Alert System:
Alerts can be set for Risk-On alignment: all monitored futures are bullish and VIX is falling.
Alerts can also be set for Risk-Off alignment: all monitored futures are bearish and VIX is rising.
Ensures traders never miss shifts in broad market sentiment, suitable for both intraday and end-of-day review.
Table Summary:
Provides a top-right summary table of each monitored market and VIX:
Displays Index Name and Current Bias (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral).
Highlights bullish conditions in green and bearish conditions in red.
Includes VIX status as “↓ Falling”, “↑ Rising”, or “Flat”, providing a quick visual reference of volatility trends.
Customizable Visuals:
Control the visibility of strong candle arrows.
Maintains dynamic bar coloring for strong candle moves (green for bullish, red for bearish).
How to Use the Risk-On / Risk-Off Toolkit:
Trend Confirmation: Use the alignment of NQ, RTY, and YM to determine whether the overall market environment is bullish or bearish.
Risk Sentiment Filter: Use VIX confirmation to identify if traders are in a risk-on or risk-off sentiment. This is especially useful for adjusting position sizing, hedging, or timing entries.
Momentum Validation: Strong candle arrows indicate decisive moves, providing additional confirmation for trade entries, breakouts, or trend continuation.
Alerts & Visual Cues: Set alerts to be notified whenever Risk-On or Risk-Off conditions are met, helping you act in real-time.
Quick Reference: Use the summary table for a bird’s-eye view of market alignment across indices and VIX, avoiding the need to track multiple charts simultaneously.
Why This Indicator is Unique:
Combines three major US indices with volatility confirmation to identify true macro market sentiment shifts.
Provides both visual and alert-based signals for actionable insights.
The inclusion of strong candle arrows gives intraday and swing traders a clear, low-latency cue for high-probability moves.
Perfect for multi-timeframe analysis and adaptable to both short-term and long-term strategies.
Indicator Name Justification:
The name “Risk-On / Risk-Off Toolkit ” accurately reflects the core function: identifying broad market risk appetite and sentiment alignment across key indices with volatility confirmation. It communicates instantly that the tool helps traders understand when the market is favoring risk-taking (Risk-On) versus risk-aversion (Risk-Off).

BK AK-13⚔️ BK AK-13 — The Mentor’s 13. Revealed on 11. Command the Band. Punish the Extremes. ⚔️
This is my 11th release—and that matters. 11 is a sacred number to me, so for release eleven I’m doing something I never planned to do: I’m putting my mentor’s secret 13 MA into the open.
For years, this 13-based MA framework was part of our private playbook—quietly doing work behind the scenes. Now I’m handing it to you fully armed, because I believe in karma in, karma out: I took years of wisdom from the market. I took years of wisdom from the men who taught me. This is one of the ways I give back—with structure, respect, and intent.
🎖 Full Credit — Respect the Origin
The core architecture of BK AK-13 is not mine. It stands firmly on the work of DZIV.
What comes from DZIV:
The Heikin Ashi MA engine (MA calculated on HA Open/High/Low/Close)
The multi-MA engine on the HA feed (ALMA / HMA / SMA / RMA / VWMA / WMA / ZLEMA / EMA)
The Body / Wick / Band zone classification for price
The dynamic body & wick clouds that give this structure its clean visual form
If this framework changes the way you see trend and price location, remember the name: DZIV.
On top of his backbone, I forged the BK AK-13 enhancement layer: trend-strength regimes, background modes, structured band-reversal arrows, momentum acceleration dots, extreme pivot markers, historical band-touch rails, the info panel, and a complete alert suite.
And as always, the “AK” in the name is not branding—it’s honor. It belongs to my mentor A.K. His secret 13 MA is the spine of this system, and his obsession with clarity, patience, and zero shortcuts sits behind every decision in this tool. Above that, all glory and gratitude to Gd—the real source of any wisdom, edge, or endurance we have in this game.
🧠 Why “BK AK-13”?
BK — my mark, the house I’m building.
AK — my mentor, the standard I’m still chasing.
13 — his secret moving average, the length that quietly shaped how I see trend, location, and pressure.
For years, 13 stayed off the public record—used, not discussed. Now, on indicator number 11, I’m putting that weapon in the open: 11th release. Sacred number. Secret 13 revealed, not for hype—but as karmic give-back. Karma in. Karma out.
🧱 What BK AK-13 Actually Is
BK AK-13 is a Heikin Ashi MA battle band with a brain and a conscience.
It does three big things:
Builds a smoothed HA-MA band using Heikin Ashi OHLC to create a cleaner, truer band around price.
Maps price into zones: Body, Upper Wick, Lower Wick, Above Band, Below Band—so every bar has a role.
Assigns a trend regime by computing a normalized trend-strength %, classifying the environment as Weak / Normal / Strong / Extreme.
You’re never guessing: Is this real trend or just drift? Am I in the spine, the wick, or off the rails? Is this where I press, fade, or stand down? The band, zones, and regimes answer that for you.
🎨 Visual Architecture — Band, Clouds, Regimes
Body & Wick Clouds (DZIV’s craft)
Body cloud between HA-MA Open & Close.
Wick clouds between body and HA-MA High/Low.
Color follows trend: bull, bear, or neutral.
You’re not decoding noisy candles—you’re reading the spine and skin of the move.
Background Regime Modes (BK layer)
Standard – background always on, soft trend-follow color.
Hybrid (Extreme + Breaks) – lights only on extreme trend states or reversal break events.
Hybrid (Strong/Extreme + Breaks) – shows strong & extreme regimes, darker tone on true extremes.
Breaks Only – background flashes only on reversal arrows.
When the background goes quiet, you’re in ordinary flow. When it lights up, something is strategic, not cosmetic.
🎯 Weapons Inside BK AK-13
⭐ Trend Change Stars
Stars appear when the internal band trend crosses zero: bull star when it flips negative → positive, bear star from positive → negative. They’re your pivot flags for swing shifts when aligned with your higher timeframe bias.
🔁 Band Reversal Arrows — Edge Flip Logic
Not every band tap—only structured reversals:
Reversal Down (short idea): first a break of the upper band, then later, for the first time, a break of the lower band.
Reversal Up (long idea): first a break of the lower band, then later, for the first time, a break of the upper band.
You can require a close outside the band and set a minimum break distance (% of band range) so only real punches count. These arrows mark campaign flips, not noise.
💡 Momentum Acceleration Dots
In strong trend regimes only:
Green dot = trend accelerating in its own direction (uptrend steepening, downtrend deepening).
Red dot = trend decelerating, even if direction hasn’t flipped yet.
They protect you from chasing late when the engine is dying and from staying stubborn when momentum is bleeding out.
⚠ Extreme Pivot Markers
Pivot highs/lows are found with a configurable lookback and only marked when trend strength at that pivot bar is above your threshold. You’ll see ⚠ above likely exhaustion tops in strong bulls and ⚠ below likely exhaustion lows in strong bears—perfect for final scale-outs, countertrend scouts, and knowing where campaigns commonly run out of blood.
📏 Historical Band-Touch Rails
Over your lookback window, BK AK-13 tracks the highest upper band touch and lowest lower band touch, drawing them as dashed rails. They’re dynamic SR built from real band extremes—ideal for trend targets, fade zones, and stop/scale-out context.
🧭 Info Panel — On-Chart War Room
The Info Panel compresses everything into a single strip: direction + strength codes (BULL STR, BEAR EXT, NEUT WEAK), four segments that brighten as |trend| climbs from weak → normal → strong → extreme, and a zone + deviation label (BDY/UW/LW/AB/BL × OK/AL/EX).
Hover and you get a full tactical brief: trend, momentum change, acceleration, band levels, distances to upper/lower/nearest band in ticks, outer-band streaks, strategic state, plus “Action” guidance and a “What-if” forward scenario. It doesn’t just tell you where you are—it pushes you toward a structured thought process on each bar.
🕹 How to Use BK AK-13 with Intent
1️⃣ Trend-Rider Mode
In Strong/Extreme bull with price in Body or Lower Wick: buy dips into the band (mid/lower) instead of chasing tops; target the upper band / upper rail while structure holds.
In Strong/Extreme bear with price in Body or Upper Wick: sell rallies into the band; target lower band / lower rail while acceleration stays healthy.
The band defines where you’re allowed to do business.
2️⃣ Extreme Snapback Hunter
Prime conditions: trend tagged Extreme, price pressed into the outer band in trend direction, strategic state lit + Hybrid background active. That’s where pressing fresh risk often flips from reward to punishment. Use it to stop adding, start harvesting, or launch controlled mean-reversion probes back to the midline—if your system and risk rules allow it.
3️⃣ Exhaustion & Turn Zones
Watch for confluence: red momentum dots, extreme pivot ⚠ markers, a reversal arrow, and a nearby historical rail or your own key level (Fibs, VWAP, volume structure, etc.). That’s where campaigns often end, traps are set, and new campaigns begin.
🔔 Alerts — The Chart Calls You
Included alerts: Bullish/Bearish Trend Change, Strategic Extreme at Outer Band, Reversal Up/Down, Extreme Pivot High/Low, and Body Zone Entry during Strong Trend. Use them so you respond to events, not impulses.
🔧 Tuning the Extremes — Help Me Perfect the Advanced Side
The extreme thresholds and advanced features are powerful but sensitive, and there is no single perfect universal setting. I’m still tuning them myself across instruments and timeframes: strong/extreme trend thresholds, extreme background thresholds, momentum acceleration threshold, pivot lookback + pivot trend filter, band-touch lookback, and minimum break distance for reversals.
Different markets and timeframes breathe differently.
If you find killer settings for a specific symbol + timeframe, please share:

Experiment. Dial it in. Then share your best settings for the extremes and advanced features. Let this become a crowd-forged battle manual: I gave you the engine, you tune it to your battleground, and we all benefit from what’s discovered in live fire. Karma in. Karma out.
🤝 Pay It Forward
If BK AK-13 sharpens your read, don’t just flex screenshots—teach structure. Show newer traders body vs wick vs edge. Talk about when you didn’t take a trade because the band said “danger,” not just the wins. Share your settings, charts, and lessons—especially around the extremes and advanced modules. I’m sharing a mentor’s secret on release 11 for a reason. If it blesses you, don’t let it stop with you.
📜 King Solomon’s Lens
King Solomon said: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.”
BK AK-13 is built exactly around that dividing line: the simple chase candles at the outer band in extreme regimes and get punished; the prudent see danger in the structure, hide their size, hedge, or reverse with intent.
This indicator won’t make you prudent. It just removes your excuse for being simple.
⚔️ BK AK-13 — The mentor’s secret 13, revealed on 11. Let the band define the field. Let wisdom define your strike.
May Gd bless your eyes, your patience, your settings, and every decision you make at the edge. 🙏
PDH PDL Open ClosePDH/PDL/Open/Close Levels Indicator
Overview
This Pine Script indicator plots the Previous Day High (PDH), Previous Day Low (PDL), Previous Day Open (PDO), and Previous Day Close (PDC) levels on your chart. It's designed for traders who rely on key daily levels to identify potential support, resistance, and intraday reference points. The indicator supports multiple timeframes, allowing you to visualize these levels from higher timeframes (e.g., weekly or monthly) directly on lower timeframe charts.
Built with Pine Script v6, it's lightweight, customizable, and overlays seamlessly on any symbol. Lines extend slightly into the future for better visibility, and labels provide clear identification with price values.
Key Features
- Multi-Timeframe Support: Choose from predefined timeframes (5m to 1M) via the input settings to fetch and plot levels from the selected period.
- Clean Visualization:
- PDH and PDL: Solid black lines for high/low levels.
- PDO: Dotted blue line for the opening price.
- PDC: Dotted red line for the closing price.
- Dynamic Labels: Automatically placed at the end of each line, showing the timeframe and exact price (e.g., "1D High: 150.25").
- Efficient Updates: Lines and labels update in real-time without cluttering the chart—old elements are automatically cleaned up.
- Extension Handling: Lines extend 2 bars ahead by default, adjustable if needed via code modifications.
How to Use
1. Add to Chart**: Copy the script into TradingView's Pine Editor, save, and add it to your chart.
2. Customize Timeframe: In the indicator settings, select your desired timeframe (default: 1D). This pulls levels from the previous period of that timeframe.
3. Interpret Levels:
- Use PDH/PDL as potential resistance/support zones.
- PDO/PDC can highlight session biases (e.g., gap fills or continuation patterns).
- Ideal for day trading, swing setups, or aligning with higher timeframe context.
4. Best Practices: Works on any market (stocks, forex, crypto). Combine with volume or momentum indicators for confluence.
Settings
- Timeframe: Dropdown with options: 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 45m, 1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 1D, 1W, 1M.
- No other inputs for simplicity—colors, styles, and extensions are hardcoded for a clean default look. Edit the script to tweak (e.g., line colors or extension length).
SRD
SRD v11 - Multi-Timeframe Volume Profile (POC, VAH, VAL)
Key Features
Dual Timeframe Analysis:
📈 Main Analysis (Daily): Calculates and displays the most significant levels based on a user-defined period of daily bars. This is ideal for identifying intraday and short-term trading opportunities.
📊 Strategic Analysis (Weekly): Plots key levels from a weekly perspective, giving you a broader, long-term view of market sentiment and structure. This can be toggled on or off.
Volume Profile Core Levels: The indicator automatically calculates and visualizes the three most important levels derived from volume analysis for both timeframes:
🎯 POC (Point of Control): The price level with the highest traded volume for the specified period. It acts as a powerful magnet for price and a key reference for market equilibrium.
🔴 VAH (Value Area High): The highest price level within the "Value Area" (where ~70% of the volume was traded). It often acts as a significant resistance zone.
🟢 VAL (Value Area Low): The lowest price level within the Value Area. It often serves as a strong support zone.
🟠 24-Hour High: An optional feature that plots the highest price reached in the last 24 hours, providing a crucial reference point for breakout and reversal traders.
Dynamic and Non-Repainting: The levels are calculated based on historical confirmed bars and update automatically as new periods (daily or weekly) close. The lines extend to the right, remaining relevant until a new calculation period begins.
Integrated Alert System: Never miss a key price interaction. The indicator includes a comprehensive alert system for:
Breakouts: Triggers when the price crosses above or below the POC, VAH, or VAL.
Touches: Triggers when the price touches one of these key levels without breaking through it (within a small tolerance).
Unified Alert: A single alert that notifies you of any of the above conditions.
Customization
The SRD v11 is fully customizable to fit your trading style. You can adjust:
Timeframes: Change the base timeframes for both the main (default Daily) and strategic (default Weekly) analysis.
Analysis Periods: Define the number of bars (days or weeks) to include in the Volume Profile calculation.
Visuals: Customize the color, width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted) of every line and label for clear and intuitive visualization.
Toggle Elements: Easily show or hide the strategic (weekly) analysis and the 24-hour high line.
How to Use It >
Identify Key Zones: Use the VAH (resistance) and VAL (support) lines to identify potential entry and exit zones. The area between VAH and VAL is the "Value Area," where the market has found acceptance.
Monitor the POC: The Point of Control is the ultimate level of equilibrium. Watch for price reactions around the POC. A sustained break above or below can signal a new trend.
Combine Timeframes: Use the strategic (weekly) levels as major, long-term points of interest and the main (daily) levels for your day-to-day trading setup. Confluence between levels from different timeframes can indicate extremely strong support or resistance.
Set Alerts: Configure alerts for breakouts or touches to be notified of critical market movements in real-time, even when you are away from the charts.
Turtles StrategyBorn from the 1980s "Turtle" experiment, this method of trading captures breakouts and places or closes trades with intrabar entries or exits and realized-equity risk controls.
How It Works
The strategy buys/sells on breakouts from recent highs/lows, using ATR for volatility-adjusted stops and sizing. It risks a fixed % (default 1%) of realized equity per trade—initial capital plus closed P&L, ignoring open positions for conservatism. Drawdown protection auto-reduces risk by 20% at 10% drops (up to three times), resetting only on full peak recovery. Single positions only, with 1-tick slippage simulated for realistic fills.
