TDI Fibonacci Volatility Bands Candle Coloring [cryptalent]"This is an advanced Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) candle coloring system, designed for traders seeking precise dynamic analysis. Unlike traditional TDI, which typically relies on a 50 midline with a single standard deviation band (±1 SD), this indicator innovatively incorporates Fibonacci golden ratio multiples (1.618, 2.618, 3.618 times standard deviation) to create multi-layered dynamic bands. It precisely divides the RSI fast line (green line) position into five distinct strength zones, instantly reflecting them on the candle colors, allowing you to grasp market sentiment in real-time without switching to a sub-chart.
Core Calculation Logic:
RSI Period (default 20), Band Length (default 50), and Fast MA Smoothing Period (default 1) are all adjustable.
The midline is the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of RSI, with upper and lower bands calculated by multiplying Fibonacci multiples with Standard Deviation (STDEV), generating three dynamic band sets: 1.618, 2.618, and 3.618.
Traders can quickly identify the following scenarios:
Extreme Overbought Zone (Strong Bullish, Red): Fast line exceeds custom threshold (default 82) and breaks above the specified band (default 2.618). This often signals overheating, potentially a profit-taking point or reversal short entry, especially at trend tops.
Extreme Oversold Zone (Strong Bearish, Green): Fast line drops below custom threshold (default 28) and breaks below the specified band (default 2.618). This is a potential strong rebound starting point, ideal for bottom-fishing or long entries.
Medium Bullish Zone (Yellow): Fast line surpasses medium threshold (default 66) and stands above the specified band (default 1.618), indicating bullish dominance in trend continuation.
Medium Bearish Zone (Orange): Fast line falls below medium threshold (default 33) and breaks below the specified band (default 1.618), signaling bearish control in segment transitions.
Neutral Zone (No Color Change): Fast line within custom upper and lower limits (default 34~65), retaining original candle colors to avoid noise interference during consolidation.
Color priority logic flows from strong to weak (Extreme > Medium > Neutral), ensuring no conflicts. All parameters are highly customizable, including thresholds, band selections (1.618/2.618/3.618/Midline/None), color schemes, and even optional semi-transparent background coloring (default off, transparency 90%) for enhanced visual layering.
Applicable Scenarios:
Intraday Trading: Capture extreme color shifts as entry/exit signals.
Swing Trading: Use medium colors to confirm trend extensions.
Long-Term Trend Following: Filter noise in neutral zones to focus on major trends.
Supports various markets like forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. After installation, adjust parameters in settings to match your strategy, and combine with other indicators like moving averages or support/resistance for improved accuracy.
If you're a TDI enthusiast, this will make your trading more intuitive and efficient!

Unmitigated MTF High Low - Cave Diving Plot
IntroductionThe Unmitigated MTF High Low -
Cave Diving Plot is a multi-timeframe (MTF) indicator designed for NQ and ES futures traders who want to identify high-probability entry and exit zones based on unmitigated price levels. The "Cave Diving" visualization helps you navigate between support (floor) and resistance (ceiling) zones, while the integrated Strat analysis provides directional context.
Who Is This For?
Futures traders (NQ, ES) trading during ETH and RTH sessions
Scalpers and day traders looking for precise entry/exit levels
Traders using The Strat methodology for directional analysis
Anyone seeking confluence between price action and key levels
Core Concepts
1. Unmitigated Level:
An unmitigated level is a price high or low that has been created but not yet tested (touched) by price. These levels act as magnets - price often returns to test them.Key Properties:
Resistance (Highs): Price has created a high but hasn't revisited it
Support (Lows): Price has created a low but hasn't revisited it
Mitigation: When price touches a level, it becomes "mitigated" and loses strength
2. The Cave Diving MetaphorThink of trading as cave diving between two zones:
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ CEILING (Upper Band) │ ← 1st & 2nd Unmitigated Highs
│ 🟥 Resistance Zone │
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ THE TUNNEL │ ← Price navigates here
│ (Trading Channel) │
│ │
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ 🟢 Support Zone │
│ FLOOR (Lower Band) │ ← 1st & 2nd Unmitigated Lows
└─────────────────────────────────┘
Trading Concept:
Ceiling: Formed by the 1st and 2nd most recent unmitigated highs
Floor: Formed by the 1st and 2nd most recent unmitigated lows
Tunnel: The space between ceiling and floor where price operates
Cave Diving: Navigating between these zones for entries and exits
3. Session-Based Age TrackingLevels are tracked by session age:
Session: 6:00 PM to 5:00 PM NY time (23-hour window)
Age 0: Created in the current session (today)
Age 1: Created 1 session ago (yesterday)
Age 2+: Older levels (more significant)
Why Age Matters:
Older unmitigated levels are typically stronger magnets
Fresh levels (Age 0) may be weaker and easier to break
Age 2+ levels often provide high-probability reversal zones
Indicator Components
Visual Elements

Fair Value Gap Signals [Kodexius]Fair Value Gap Signals is an advanced market structure tool that automatically detects and tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), evaluates the quality of each gap, and highlights high value reaction zones with visual metrics and signal markers.
The script is designed for traders who focus on liquidity concepts, order flow and mean reversion. It goes beyond basic FVG plotting by continuously monitoring how price interacts with each gap and by quantifying three key aspects of each zone:
-Entry velocity inside the gap
-Volume absorption during tests
-Structural integrity and depth of penetration
The result is a dynamic, information rich visualization of which gaps are being respected, which are being absorbed, and where potential reversals or continuations are most likely to occur.
All visual elements are configurable, including the maximum number of visible gaps per direction, mitigation method (close or wick) and an ATR based filter to ignore insignificant gaps in low volatility environments.
🔹 Features
🔸 Automated Fair Value Gap Detection
The script detects both bullish and bearish FVGs based on classic three candle logic:
Bullish FVG: current low is strictly above the high from two bars ago
Bearish FVG: current high is strictly below the low from two bars ago
🔸 ATR Based Gap Filter
To avoid clutter and low quality signals, the script can ignore very small gaps using an ATR based filter.
🔸Per Gap State Machine and Lifecycle
Each gap is tracked with an internal status:
Fresh: gap has just formed and has not been tested
Testing: price is currently trading inside the gap
Tested: gap was tested and left, waiting for a potential new test
Rejected: price entered the gap and then rejected away from it
Filled: gap is considered fully mitigated and no longer active
This state machine allows the script to distinguish between simple touches, multiple tests and meaningful reversals, and to trigger different alerts accordingly.
🔸 Visual Ranking of Gaps by Metrics
For each active gap, three additional horizontal rank bars are drawn on top of the gap area:
Rank 1 (Vel): maximum entry velocity inside the gap
Rank 2 (Vol): relative test volume compared to average volume
Rank 3 (Dpt): remaining safety of the gap based on maximum penetration depth
These rank bars extend horizontally from the creation bar, and their length is a visual score between 0 and 1, scaled to the age of the gap. Longer bars represent stronger or more favorable conditions.
🔸Signals and Rejection Markers
When a gap shows signs of rejection (price enters the gap and then closes away from it with sufficient activity), the script can print a signal label at the reaction point. These markers summarize the internal metrics of the gap using a tooltip:
-Velocity percentage
-Volume percentage
-Safety score
-Number of tests
🔸 Flexible Mitigation Logic (Close or Wick)
You can choose how mitigation is defined via the Mitigation Method input:
Close: the gap is considered filled only when the closing price crosses the gap boundary
Wick: a full fill is detected as soon as any wick crosses the gap boundary
🔸 Alert Conditions
-New FVG formed
-Price entering a gap (testing)
-Gap fully filled and invalidated
-Rejection signal generated
🔹Calculations
This section summarizes the main calculations used under the hood. Only the core logic is covered.
1. ATR Filter and Gap Size
The script uses a configurable ATR length to filter out small gaps. First the ATR is computed:
float atrVal = ta.atr(atrLength)
Gap size for both directions is then measured:
float gapSizeBull = low - high
float gapSizeBear = low - high
If useAtrFilter is enabled, gaps smaller than atrVal are ignored. This ties the minimum gap size to the current volatility regime.
2. Fair Value Gap Detection
The basic FVG conditions use a three bar structure:
bool fvgBull = low > high
bool fvgBear = high < low
For bullish gaps the script stores:
-top as low of the current bar
-bottom as high
For bearish gaps:
-top as high of the current bar
-bottom as low
This defines the price range that is considered the imbalance area.
3. Depth and Safety Score
Depth measures how far price has penetrated into the gap since its creation. For each bar, the script computes a currentDepth and updates the maximum depth:
float currentDepth = 0.0
if g.isBullish
if l < g.top
currentDepth := g.top - l
else
if h > g.bottom
currentDepth := h - g.bottom
if currentDepth > g.maxDepth
g.maxDepth := currentDepth
The safety score expresses how much of the gap remains intact:
float depthRatio = g.maxDepth / gapSize
float safetyScore = math.max(0.0, 1.0 - depthRatio)
safetyScore near 1: gap is mostly untouched
safetyScore near 0: gap is mostly or fully filled
4. Velocity Metric
Velocity captures how aggressively price moves inside the gap. It is based on the body to range ratio of each bar that trades within the gap and rewards bars that move in the same direction as the gap:
float barRange = h - l
float bodyRatio = math.abs(close - open) / barRange
float directionBonus = 0.0
if g.isBullish and close > open
directionBonus := 0.2
else if not g.isBullish and close < open
directionBonus := 0.2
float currentVelocity = math.min(bodyRatio + directionBonus, 1.0)
The gap keeps track of the strongest observed value:
if currentVelocity > g.maxVelocity
g.maxVelocity := currentVelocity
This maximum is later used as velScore when building the velocity rank bar.
5. Volume Accumulation and Volume Score
While price is trading inside a gap, the script accumulates the traded volume:
if isInside
g.testVolume += volume
It also keeps track of the number of tests and the volume at the start of the first test:
if g.status == "Fresh"
g.status := "Testing"
g.testCount := 1
g.testStartVolume := volume
An average volume is computed using a 20 period SMA:
float volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
The expected volume is approximated as:
float expectedVol = volAvg * math.max(1, (bar_index - g.index) / 2)
The volume score is then:
float volScore = math.min(g.testVolume / expectedVol, 1.0)
This produces a normalized 0 to 1 metric that shows whether the gap has attracted more or less volume than expected over its lifetime.
6. Rank Bar Scaling
All three scores are projected visually along the time axis as horizontal bars. The script uses the age of the gap in bars as the maximum width:
float maxWidth = math.max(bar_index - g.index, 1)
Then each metric is mapped to a bar length:
int len1 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * velScore))
g.rankBox1.set_right(g.index + len1)
int len2 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * volScore))
g.rankBox2.set_right(g.index + len2)
int len3 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * safetyScore))
g.rankBox3.set_right(g.index + len3)
This creates an intuitive visual representation where stronger metrics produce longer rank bars, making it easy to quickly compare the relative quality of multiple FVGs on the chart.
Liquidity Heatmap [Eˣ]💧 Liquidity Heatmap - Free Indicator
Overview
The Liquidity Heatmap reveals where stop losses are clustered in the market - the hidden liquidity zones that smart money targets. This indicator automatically identifies Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) above price and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) below price, showing you exactly where institutional traders are likely to hunt for stops before major moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Identifies Liquidity Zones:
• Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) - Stop losses from SHORT positions clustered above price
• Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) - Stop losses from LONG positions clustered below price
• Automatically clusters nearby levels into high-probability zones
• Shows liquidity strength (1-5+) - higher numbers = more stops = bigger target
• Removes swept liquidity in real-time as price takes out stops
Visual Display:
• 🔴 Red Zones Above Price = Buy-Side Liquidity (shorts' stops)
• 🟢 Green Zones Below Price = Sell-Side Liquidity (longs' stops)
• Thicker/Darker Zones = Higher liquidity concentration
• BSL/SSL Labels = Show exact strength count
• Triangle Markers = Liquidity sweep alerts (when price takes stops)
Smart Features:
• Auto-removes old liquidity (customizable lookback period)
• Clusters nearby levels to reduce noise
• Tracks liquidity strength and age
• Updates in real-time as new swing points form
• Alerts when major liquidity zones are swept
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 How To Use This Indicator
Understanding Liquidity Concepts
What is Liquidity?
Liquidity refers to clusters of stop loss orders sitting in the market. These stops represent:
• Long traders' stop losses (below support) = Sell-Side Liquidity
• Short traders' stop losses (above resistance) = Buy-Side Liquidity
Why Does This Matter?
• Institutions NEED liquidity to fill large orders
• Price often "sweeps" liquidity zones before reversing
• Major liquidity = major target for smart money
• Understanding liquidity = understanding market maker behavior
The Liquidity Cycle:
1. Retail traders place stops at obvious levels (swing highs/lows)
2. Smart money identifies these clusters
3. Price is pushed to sweep the stops (liquidity grab)
4. Institutions fill their orders with this liquidity
5. Price reverses in the opposite direction
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Liquidity Sweep Reversals
Best For: Swing trading, catching reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Identify strong Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone below price
2. Wait for price to sweep down into the SSL zone
3. Look for rejection/reversal candle pattern (pin bar, engulfing)
4. Enter LONG after sweep and reversal confirmation
5. Stop loss: Below the swept liquidity zone
6. Target: Opposite liquidity zone or key resistance
Why It Works: Smart money sweeps stops to fill buy orders, then pushes price higher
Example:
• SSL zone at $45,000 with strength 3
• Price drops to $44,950, sweeps the SSL
• Strong bullish reversal candle forms
• Enter long at $45,100
• Target: BSL zone at $47,000
Strategy 2: Liquidity-to-Liquidity Runs
Best For: Day trading, scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Entry Setup:
1. Price sweeps Sell-Side Liquidity below and reverses up
2. Identify Buy-Side Liquidity zone above
3. Enter LONG targeting the BSL zone above
4. Exit near/at the BSL zone (don't wait for sweep)
5. Stop loss: Below recent swing low
Why It Works: Price moves from liquidity pool to liquidity pool
Variation - Reverse for Shorts:
• BSL sweep above → Look for SSL zone below
• Enter short targeting lower liquidity
Strategy 3: Liquidity Avoidance (Stop Placement)
Best For: Improving win rate on existing strategies
Timeframes: All
Rules:
1. NEVER place stops exactly at obvious liquidity zones
2. Place stops beyond the liquidity zone with buffer
3. Or place stops before the liquidity zone (tighter, riskier)
4. Monitor liquidity strength - avoid zones with strength 3+
Why It Works: Market makers hunt obvious stop clusters
Example:
• Trading long, swing low at $100 (SSL zone, strength 4)
• Bad: Stop at $99.50 (will get swept)
• Better: Stop at $98.50 (beyond the liquidity)
• Alternative: Stop at $100.50 (tighter, before sweep zone)
Strategy 4: Confluence Trading
Best For: High probability setups
Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Find liquidity zone that aligns with:
• Major support/resistance level
• Fibonacci retracement (0.618, 0.786)
• Trendline
• Round psychological number ($50,000, $2,000, etc)
2. Wait for sweep of this high-confluence zone
3. Enter on reversal with multiple confirmations
4. Larger position size justified by confluence
Why It Works: Multiple factors = institutional interest = higher probability

• Higher number = More upside targets for price
Sell-Side Zones
• Count of active SSL zones below current price
• Higher number = More downside targets for price
Total Zones
• Combined count of all active liquidity
• Useful for gauging overall market structure
Nearest BSL
• Distance in % to closest Buy-Side Liquidity above
• Example: +2.5% means BSL is 2.5% above current price
• Quick reference for next upside target
Nearest SSL
• Distance in % to closest Sell-Side Liquidity below
• Example: -1.8% means SSL is 1.8% below current price
• Quick reference for next downside target
Liquidity Bias
• ⬆️ Bullish : More BSL than SSL (upside targets dominate)
• ⬇️ Bearish : More SSL than BSL (downside targets dominate)
• ↔️ Balanced: Equal liquidity on both sides (range-bound)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Understanding Liquidity Strength
What Do The Numbers Mean?
Strength 1 : Single swing point
• Light liquidity, minor target
• Can be ignored in trending markets
• Useful in ranging/choppy conditions
Strength 2-3 : Moderate liquidity cluster
• Multiple nearby swing points merged
• Decent target for intraday moves
• Watch for potential sweeps
Strength 4-5 : Strong liquidity cluster
• Major cluster of stops
• High-probability target for institutions
• Expect reactions when swept
Strength 6+ : Extreme liquidity pool
• Massive stop cluster (rare)
• Critical zone - high probability of sweep
• Often marks major support/resistance
• Ideal for confluence setups
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 Alert Setup
This indicator includes 2 powerful alert types:
1. Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps BSL zone above
• Shows potential bullish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes upward continuation after sweep
2. Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps SSL zone below
• Shows potential bearish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes downward continuation after sweep
To Set Up Alerts:
1. Click the "Alert" button (clock icon) in TradingView
2. Condition: Select "Liquidity Heatmap"
3. Choose alert type: BSL Sweep or SSL Sweep
4. Configure notification method (push, email, webhook)
5. Click "Create"
Pro Tip: Set alerts for both BSL and SSL sweeps to catch opportunities in both directions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for confirmation - Don't enter immediately on sweep, wait for reversal pattern
• Combine with trend - SSL sweeps in uptrends = higher probability longs
• Check multiple timeframes - 1H liquidity + 4H liquidity = strongest zones
• Monitor strength - Focus on zones with strength 3+
• Use proper risk management - Liquidity sweeps can go further than expected
• Watch for re-sweeps - Sometimes liquidity zones get swept multiple times
• Consider volume - High volume sweeps = stronger reversal potential
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't fade strong trends - In strong trends, sweeps often continue rather than reverse
• Don't overtrade - Not every sweep is a tradeable setup
• Don't ignore context - Check broader market conditions and news
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance, and other analysis
• Don't place stops at liquidity - Your stops will be hunted
• Don't expect perfection - Some sweeps fail, some zones never get hit
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalping: 5min, 15min (fast moves, frequent sweeps)
• Day Trading: 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Trading: 1H, 4H, Daily (major liquidity zones)
• Position Trading: 4H, Daily, Weekly (institutional liquidity)
🔥 Best Markets:
• Crypto (high volatility, frequent liquidity grabs)
• Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD - liquid pairs)
• Futures (ES, NQ, CL - high liquidity contracts)
• Stocks (large caps with high volume)
⏰ Best Times:
• Market opens (high volatility = liquidity hunting)
• Before/after major news events
• Session overlaps (London/NY for forex)
• First hour and last hour of trading

📈 Common Liquidity Patterns
Pattern 1: The Double Sweep
• Price sweeps SSL below, reverses up
• Price sweeps BSL above, reverses down
• Back to original range
• Trading: Fade the second sweep for mean reversion
Pattern 2: The Cascade
• Multiple SSL zones stacked below
• Price sweeps first zone, continues to next
• Chain reaction of stop losses triggering
• Trading: Ride the momentum to lowest zone
Pattern 3: The Fake-Out
• Price approaches liquidity but doesn't quite sweep
• Reverses before hitting the zone
• "Scared money" didn't wait for full sweep
• Trading: Wait for actual sweep, don't anticipate
Pattern 4: The Absorption
• Price sweeps major liquidity zone (strength 5+)
• No reversal, just consolidation
• Institutions absorbed all liquidity
• Trading: Wait for breakout direction, likely continuation

DT 20 200 VWAP Combo v2DT 20 200 VWAP Combo is a simple trend and bias tool that combines three core pieces of context on one chart
• Short term momentum with the 20 EMA
• Higher time frame trend with the 200 EMA
• Value with a flexible anchored VWAP
Use it to quickly answer three questions
What is the bigger picture trend
Where is price trading relative to value
Is my entry idea trading with or against that structure
What this indicator does
Plots a 20 EMA for short term momentum
Plots a 200 EMA for overall trend bias
Plots a VWAP that you can anchor in different ways
Session
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Yearly
Colors the background when price and EMAs agree with the selected VWAP
Bull zone when 20 EMA is above 200 EMA and price is above VWAP
Bear zone when 20 EMA is below 200 EMA and price is below VWAP
Optionally prints labels when
20 EMA crosses above or below 200 EMA
Price crosses above or below the chosen VWAP
How to use it in your process
Set your VWAP anchor
Session if you are intraday focused
Daily or Weekly if you want a cleaner swing bias
Monthly or Yearly for longer swing context
Use the 200 EMA and anchored VWAP as your higher time frame filter
Only look for longs when price is above both
Only look for shorts when price is below both
Use the 20 EMA as your timing tool
Look for entries in the direction of the background color
Avoid trades that fight both EMAs and VWAP at the same time
This is not a complete trading system by itself
It is a context and confluence tool that works best when combined with your own price action and liquidity model such as structure shifts, sweeps, or a pattern based entry
Nothing in this script is financial advice
Always test and refine any idea in a demo environment and in a written plan before risking real capital

Happy Trading
Bästa Bob Multi-RSI 😎👊✅ RSI 7 → Fast impulse indicator
• Shows micro-movements
• Reacts instantly to liquidity sweeps
• Perfect for entry timing
✅ RSI 14 → Macro momentum indicator
• Captures the real trend
• Filters out noise
• Confirms larger market movements
When both are in sync → you get true market direction plus perfect timing.
👉 How to Use RSI 7 + RSI 14
1️⃣ Entry Signals (the best method)
BUY when:
• RSI 7 turns up from oversold
• RSI 14 is also sloping upward or gets crossed by RSI 7 from below
→ Extremely accurate right after a liquidity sweep.
SELL when:
• RSI 7 turns down from overbought
• RSI 14 is sloping downward or gets crossed by RSI 7 from above
→ Works insanely well for fakeouts and FVG entries.
2️⃣ Trend Filter
• When RSI 14 stays above 50 → market is bullish
• When RSI 14 stays below 50 → bearish
RSI 7 is then used only for timing entries.
3️⃣ A++ Setups (your favorite ones 😉🔥)
The best signals appear when:
✔ RSI 7 crosses RSI 14 at the same time as:
• a liquidity sweep happens
• price taps into an FVG or Order Block
• volume reacts
• your trend filter (EMA, HTF) supports the move
This combo is criminally effective when scalping BTC, NAS100, and XAUUSD.
Kinetic EMA & Volume with State EngineKinetic EMA & Volume with State Engine (EMVOL)
1. Introduction & Concept
The EMVOL indicator converts a dense family of EMA signals and volume flows into a compact “state engine”. Instead of looking at individual EMA lines or simple crossovers, the script treats each EMA as part of a kinetic vector field and classifies the market into interpretable states:
- Trend direction and strength (from a grid of prime‑period EMAs).
- Volume regime (expansion, contraction, climax, dry‑up).
- Order‑flow bias via delta (buy versus sell volume).
- A combined scenario label that summarises how these three layers interact.
The goal is educational: to help traders see that moving averages and volume become more meaningful when observed as a structure, not as isolated lines. EMVOL is therefore designed as a real‑time teaching tool, not as an automatic signal generator.
2. Volume Settings
Group: “Volume Settings”
A. Calculation Method
- Geometry (Source File) – Default mode.
Buy and sell volume are estimated from each candle’s geometry: the close is compared to the high/low range and the bar’s total volume is split proportionally between buyers and sellers. This approximation works on any TradingView plan and does not require lower‑timeframe data.
- Intrabar (Precise) – Reconstructs buy/sell volume using a lower timeframe via requestUpAndDownVolume(). The script asks TradingView for historical intrabar data (e.g., 15‑second bars) and builds buy/sell volume and delta from that stream. This mode can produce a more accurate view of order flow, but coverage is limited by your account’s history limits and the symbol’s available lower‑timeframe data.
B. Intrabar Resolution (If Precise)
- Intrabar Resolution (If Precise) – Selected only when the calculation method is “Intrabar (Precise)”. It defines which lower timeframe (for example 15S, 30S, 1m) is used to compute up/down volume. Smaller intrabar timeframes may give smoother and more granular deltas, but require more historical depth from the platform.
When “Intrabar (Precise)” is active, the dashboard’s extended section shows the resolution and the number of bars for which precise volume has been successfully retrieved, in the format:
- Mode: Intrabar (15S) – where N is the count of bars with valid high‑resolution volume data.
In Geometry mode this counter simply reflects the processed bars in the current session.
3. Kinetic Vector Settings
Group: “Kinetic Vector”
A. Vector Window
- Vector Window – Controls the temporal smoothing applied to the aggregated vectors (trend, volume, delta, etc.). Internally, each bar’s vector value is averaged with a simple moving window of this length.
- Shorter windows make the state engine more reactive and sensitive to local swings.
- Longer windows make the states more stable and better suited to higher‑timeframe structure.
B. Max Prime Period
- Max Prime Period – Sets the largest prime number used in the EMA grid. The engine builds a family of EMAs on prime lengths (2, 3, 5, 7, …) up to this limit and converts their slopes into angles.
- A higher limit increases the number of long‑horizon EMAs in the grid and makes the vectors sensitive to broader structure.
- A lower limit focuses the analysis on short- and medium‑term behaviour.
C. Price Source
- Price Source – The price series from which the kinetic EMA grid is built (e.g., Close, HLC3, OHLC4). Changing the source modifies the context that the state engine is reading but does not change the core logic.
4. State Engine Settings
Group: “State Engine Settings”
These inputs define how the continuous vectors are translated into discrete states.
A. Trend Thresholds
- Strong Trend Threshold – Value above which the trend vector is treated as “extreme bullish” and below which it is “extreme bearish”.
- Weak Trend Threshold – Inner boundary between neutral and directional conditions.
Roughly:
- |trend| < weak → Neutral trend state.
- weak < |trend| ≤ strong → Bullish/Bearish.
- |trend| > strong → Extreme Bullish/Extreme Bearish.
B. Volume Thresholds
- Volume Climax Threshold – Upper bound at which volume is considered “climax” (unusually expanded participation).
- Volume Expansion Threshold – Boundary for normal expansion versus contraction.
Conceptually:
- Volume above “expansion” indicates increasing activity.
- Volume near or above “climax” marks extreme participation.
- Negative values below the symmetric thresholds map to contraction and extreme dry‑up (liquidity vacuum) states.
C. Delta Thresholds
- Strong Delta Threshold – Cut‑off for extreme buying or selling dominance in delta.
- Weak Delta Threshold – Threshold for mild buy/sell bias versus neutral order flow.
Combined with the sign of the delta vector, these thresholds classify order flow as:
- Extreme Buy, Buy‑Dominant, Neutral, Sell‑Dominant, Extreme Sell.
D. State Hysteresis Bars
- State Hysteresis Bars – Minimum number of bars for which a new state must persist before the engine commits to the change. This prevents the dashboard from flickering during fast spikes and emphasises persistent market behaviour.
- Smaller values switch states quickly; larger values demand more confirmation.
5. Visual Interface
Group: “Visual Interface”
A. Ribbon Base Color
- Ribbon Base Color – Base hue for the multi‑layer EMA ribbon drawn around price. The script plots a dense grid of hidden EMAs and fills the gaps between them to form a semi‑transparent band. Narrow, overlapping bands hint at compression; wider separation hints at dispersion across EMA horizons.
B. Show Dashboard
- Show Dashboard – Toggles the on‑chart table which summarises the current state engine output. Disable this if you only want to keep the EMA ribbon and volume‑based structure on the price chart.
C. Color Theme
- Color Theme – Switch between a dark and light style for the dashboard background and text colours so that the table matches your chart theme.
D. Table Position
- Table Position – Places the dashboard at any corner or edge of the chart (Top / Middle / Bottom × Left / Centre / Right).
E. Table Size
- Table Size – Changes the dashboard’s text size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large). Use a larger size on high‑resolution screens or when streaming.
F. Show Extended Info
- Show Extended Info – Adds diagnostic rows under the main state summary:
- Mode / Primes / Vector – Shows the current calculation mode (Geometry / Intrabar), the selected intrabar resolution and coverage in bars ( ), how many prime periods are active, and the vector window.
- Values – Displays the current aggregated vectors:
- P: price vector
- V: volume vector
- B: buy‑volume vector
- S: sell‑volume vector
- D: delta vector
Values are bounded between ‑1 and +1.
- Volume Stats – Prints the last bar’s raw buy volume, sell volume and delta as formatted numbers.
- Footer – A final row with the symbol and current time: #SYMBOL | HH:MM.
These extended rows are meant for inspecting how the engine is behaving under the hood while you scroll the chart and compare different assets or timeframes.
6. Language Settings
Group: “Language Settings”
- Select Language – Switches the entire dashboard between English and Turkish.
The underlying calculations and scenario logic are identical; only the labels, titles and comments in the table are translated.
7. Dashboard Structure & Reading Guide
The table summarises the current situation in a few rows:
1. System Header – Shows the script name and the active calculation method (“Geometry” or “Intrabar”).
2. Scenario Title – High‑level description of the current combined scenario (e.g., “Trending Buy Confirmed”, “Sideways Balanced”, “Bull Trap”, “Blow‑Off Top”). The background colour is derived from the scenario family (trending, compression, exhaustion, anomaly, etc.).
3. Bias / Trend Line – States the dominant trend bias derived from the trend vector (Extreme Bullish, Bullish, Neutral, Bearish, Extreme Bearish).
4. Signal / Consideration Line – A short sentence giving qualitative guidance about the current state (for example: continuation risk, exhaustion risk, trap‑like behaviour, or compression). This is deliberately phrased as a consideration, not as a direct trading signal.
5. Trend / Volume / Delta Rows – Three separate rows explain, in plain language, how the trend, volume regime and delta are classified at this bar.
6. Extended Info (optional) – Mode / primes / vector settings, current vector values, and last‑bar volume statistics, as described above.
Together, these rows are meant to be read as a narrative of what price, volume and order‑flow are doing, not as mechanical instructions.
8. State Taxonomy
The state engine organizes market behaviour in three stages.
8.1 Trend States (from the Price Vector)
- Extreme Bullish Trend – The prime‑grid price vector is strongly upward; most EMAs are aligned to the upside.
- Bullish Trend – Upward bias is present, but less extreme.
- Neutral Trend – EMAs are mixed or flat; price is effectively sideways relative to the grid.
- Bearish Trend – Downward bias, with the EMA grid sloping down.
- Extreme Bearish Trend – Strong downside alignment across the grid.
8.2 Volume Regime States (from the Volume Vector)
- Volume Climax (Buy‑Side) – Strong positive volume vector; participation is unusually high in the current direction.
- Volume Expansion – Activity above normal but below the climax threshold.
- Neutral Volume – No major expansion or contraction versus recent history.
- Volume Contraction – Activity is drying up compared with the past.
- Extreme Dry‑Up / Liquidity Vacuum – Very low participation; the market is thin and prone to slippage.
8.3 Delta Behaviour States (from the Delta Vector)
- Extreme Buy Delta – Buying pressure dominates strongly.
- Buy‑Dominant Delta – Buy volume exceeds sell volume, but not at an extreme.
- Neutral Delta – Buy and sell flows are roughly balanced.
- Sell‑Dominant Delta – Selling pressure dominates.
- Extreme Sell Delta – Aggressive, one‑sided selling.
8.4 Combined Scenario State s
EMVOL uses the three base states above to generate a single scenario label. These scenarios are designed to be read as context, not as entry or exit signals.
Trending Scenarios
1. Trending Buy Confirmed
- Bullish or extreme bullish trend, supported by expanding or climax volume and buy‑side delta.
- Educational idea: a healthy uptrend where both participation and order flow agree with the direction.
2. Trending Buy – Weak Volume
- Bullish trend, but volume is neutral, contracting or in dry‑up while delta is still buy‑side.
- Educational idea: price is advancing, yet participation is thinning; trend continuation becomes more fragile.
3. Trending Sell Confirmed
- Bearish or extreme bearish trend, with expanding or climax volume and sell‑side delta.
- Educational idea: strong downtrend with both volume and order‑flow confirmation.
4. Trending Sell – Weak Volume
- Bearish trend, but volume is neutral, contracting or very low while delta remains sell‑side.
- Educational idea: downside continues but with limited participation; vulnerable to short‑covering.
Sideways / Range Scenarios
5. Sideways Balanced
- Neutral trend, neutral delta, neutral volume.
- Classic range environment; low directional edge, suitable for observation and context rather than trend trading.
6. Sideways with Buy Pressure
- Neutral trend, but buy‑side delta is dominant or extreme.
- Range with latent accumulation: price may still appear sideways, but buyers are quietly more active.
7. Sideways with Sell Pressure
- Neutral trend with dominant or extreme sell‑side delta.
- Distribution‑like environment where price chops while sellers are gradually more aggressive.
Exhaustion & Volume Extremes
8. Exhaustion – Buy Risk
- Extreme bullish trend, volume climax and strong buy‑side delta.
- Educational idea: very strong up‑move where both participation and delta are already stretched; risk of exhaustion or blow‑off.
9. Exhaustion – Sell Risk
- Extreme bearish trend, volume dry‑up and strong sell‑side delta.
- Suggests one‑sided selling into increasingly thin liquidity.
10. Volume Climax (Buy)
- Neutral trend, neutral delta, but volume at climax levels.
- Often associated with a “big event” bar where participation spikes without a clear directional commitment.
11. Volume Climax (Sell / Dry‑Up)
- Neutral trend and neutral delta, while the volume vector indicates an extreme dry‑up.
- Highlights a stand‑still episode: very limited interest from both sides, increasing the sensitivity to future impulses.
Divergences
12. Divergence – Bullish Context
- Bullish or extreme bullish trend, but delta has faded back to neutral.
- Price trend continues while order‑flow conviction softens; can precede pauses or complex corrections.
13. Divergence – Bearish Context
- Bearish or extreme bearish trend with a neutral delta.
- Downtrend persists, but selling pressure no longer dominates as clearly.
Consolidation & Compression
14. Consolidation
- Default state when no specific pattern dominates and the market is broadly balanced.
- Educational use: treat this as a “no strong edge” label; focus on structure rather than direction.
15. Breakout Imminent
- Neutral trend with contracting volume.
- Compression phase where energy is building up; often precedes transitions into trending or shock scenarios.
Traps & Hidden Divergences
16. Bull Trap
- Bullish trend, with neutral or contracting volume and sell‑side delta.
- Price appears strong, but order‑flow shifts against it; often seen near fake breakouts or failing rallies.
17. Bear Trap
- Bearish trend, neutral or contracting volume, but buy‑side delta.
- Downtrend “looks” intact, while buyers become more aggressive underneath the surface.
18. Hidden Bullish Divergence
- Bullish trend, contracting volume, but strong buy‑side delta.
- Educational idea: price dips or slows while aggressive buyers step in, often inside an ongoing uptrend.
19. Hidden Bearish Divergence
- Bearish trend, volume expansion and strong sell‑side delta.
- Reinforced downside pressure even if price is temporarily retracing.
Reversal & Transition Patterns
20. Reversal to Bearish
- Neutral trend, volume climax and strong sell‑side delta.
- Suggests that heavy selling appears at the top of a move, turning a previously neutral or rising context into potential downside.
21. Reversal to Bullish
- Neutral trend, extreme volume dry‑up and strong buy‑side delta.
- Often associated with selling exhaustion where buyers start to take control.
22. Indecision Spike
- Neutral trend with extreme volume (climax or dry‑up) but neutral delta.
- Crowd participation changes sharply while order‑flow remains undecided; treat as an informational spike rather than a direction.
Extended Compression & Acceleration
23. Coiling Phase
- Neutral trend, contracting volume, and delta that is neutral or only mildly one‑sided.
- Extended compression where price, volume and delta all contract into a tightly coiled range, often preceding a strong move.
24. Bullish Acceleration
- Bullish trend with volume expansion and strong buy‑side delta.
- Uptrend not only continues but gains kinetic strength; educationally, this illustrates how trend, volume and delta align in the strongest phases of a move.
25. Bearish Acceleration
- Bearish trend with volume expansion and strong sell‑side delta.
- Mirror image of Bullish Acceleration on the downside.
Trend Exhaustion & Climax Reversal
26. Bull Exhaustion
- Bullish or extreme bullish trend, with contraction or dry‑up in volume and buy‑side or neutral delta.
- The move has already travelled far; participation fades while price is still elevated.
27. Bear Exhaustion
- Bearish or extreme bearish trend, with volume climax or contraction and sell‑side or neutral delta.
- Down‑move may be approaching a point where additional selling pressure has diminishing impact.
28. Blow‑Off Top
- Extreme bullish trend, volume climax and extreme buy delta all at once.
- Classic blow‑off behaviour: price, volume and order‑flow are simultaneously stretched in the same direction.
29. Selling Climax Reversal
- Extreme bearish trend with extreme volume dry‑up and extreme sell‑side delta.
- Marks a very aggressive capitulation phase that can precede major rebounds.
Advanced VSA / Anomaly Scenarios
30. Absorption
- Typically neutral trend with expanding or climax volume and extreme delta (either buy or sell).
- Educational focus: large participants are aggressively absorbing liquidity from the opposite side, while price remains relatively contained.
31. Distribution
- Scenario where volume remains elevated while directional conviction weakens and the trend slows.
- Represents potential “selling into strength” or “buying into weakness”, depending on the active side.
32. Liquidity Vacuum
- Combination of thin liquidity (extreme dry‑up) with a directional trend or strong delta.
- Highlights environments where even small orders can move price disproportionately.
33. Anomaly / Shock Event
- Triggered when the vector z‑scores detect rare combinations of price, volume and delta behaviour that deviate from their own historical distribution.
- Intended as a warning label for unusual events rather than a specific tradeable pattern.
9. Educational Usage Notes
- EMVOL does not produce mechanical “buy” or “sell” commands. Instead, it classes each bar into an interpretable state so that traders can study how trends, volume and order‑flow interact over time.
- A common exercise is to overlay your usual EMA crossovers, support/resistance or price patterns and observe which EMVOL scenarios appear around entries, exits, traps and climaxes.
- Because the vectors are normalized (bounded between ‑1 and +1) and then discretized, the same conceptual states can be compared across different symbols and timeframes.
10. Disclaimer & Educational Purpose
This indicator is provided strictly as an educational and analytical tool. Its purpose is to help visualise how price, volume and order‑flow interact; it is not designed to function as a stand‑alone trading system.
Please note:
1. No Automated Strategy – The script does not implement a complete trading strategy. Scenario labels and dashboard messages are descriptive and should not be followed as unconditional entry or exit signals.
2. No Financial Advice – All information produced by this indicator is general market analysis. It must not be interpreted as investment, financial or trading advice, or as a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.
3. Risk Warning – Trading and investing involve substantial risk, including the risk of loss. Always perform your own analysis, use appropriate position sizing and risk management, and consult a qualified professional if needed. You are solely responsible for any decisions made using this tool.
4. Data Precision & Platform Limits – The “Intrabar (Precise)” mode depends on the availability of high‑resolution historical data at the chosen intrabar timeframe. If your TradingView plan or the symbol’s history does not provide sufficient depth, this mode may only partially cover the visible chart. In such cases, consider switching to “Geometry (Source File)” for a fully populated view.
On Balance Volume [BrightSideTrading]
# On Balance Volume - Complete User Guide
## Overview
This enhanced OBV indicator provides clean, actionable volume analysis with intelligent signal filtering. It combines On-Balance Volume (OBV) with a smoothed signal line to identify shifts in buying and selling pressure without chart clutter.
**Key Features:**
- Real-time OBV and signal line visualization
- Smart crossover detection with confirmation filtering
- Z-Score momentum analysis
- Customizable signal alerts with V-shaped markers
- Window-normalized option for detrended analysis
---
## What is On-Balance Volume (OBV)?
OBV is a volume-based momentum indicator that accumulates volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days. It answers a fundamental question: **Is volume flowing in (buying) or out (selling)?**
**Formula:**
- If Close > Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV + Volume
- If Close < Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV - Volume
- If Close = Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV (unchanged)
**What it tells you:**
- **Rising OBV** = Accumulation (smart money buying)
- **Falling OBV** = Distribution (smart money selling)
- **OBV above zero line** = Net positive buying pressure
- **OBV below zero line** = Net negative selling pressure
---
## Interface & Settings
### **MAIN VISUALIZATION**
**OBV Line (Green/Red Ribbon)**
- Green when OBV is above the signal line (bullish trend)
- Red when OBV is below the signal line (bearish trend)
- Toggles between window-normalized (detrended) and raw values
**Signal Line (Orange)**
- Smoothed average of OBV
- Crossovers with OBV generate buy/sell signals
- Default: 21-period SMA
**V-Shaped Markers**
- Green upward V = Bullish crossover (buy signal)
- Red downward V = Bearish crossover (sell signal)
- Appears at the OBV value when signal is triggered
**Zero Line (Yellow)**
- Center equilibrium point for volume balance
- Acts as support/resistance for OBV
- Separates buying pressure (above) from selling pressure (below)
---
### **SOURCE GROUP**
**Source**
- **Default:** Close
- **Options:** Open, High, Low, or any custom value
- Controls which price value triggers OBV direction changes
- Most traders use Close for standard OBV calculation
---
### **SIGNAL SMOOTHING GROUP**
**Show Signal?**
- **Default:** ON
- Toggle visibility of the signal line
- Disable if you prefer to see raw OBV only
**Smoothing Type**
- **SMA (Simple Moving Average)** - Default, standard smoothing
- **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)** - Faster response, weights recent bars more heavily
- **Choose SMA** for consistent, traditional OBV signals
- **Choose EMA** for faster trend identification (more whipsaws possible)
**Smoothing Length**
- **Default:** 21 bars
- **Range:** 1-200 bars
- **Lower values** (5-14): Faster signals, more noise
- **Higher values** (30-50): Slower signals, fewer false alarms
- **Recommendation:** Use 21-25 for most timeframes
---
### **SIGNAL FILTERING GROUP**
This is your primary control for signal quality and frequency.
**Show Signal Markers?**
- **Default:** ON
- Toggle the V-shaped buy/sell markers on/off
- Disable if markers distract from your analysis
**Signal Filter Type**
- **None** - Shows every single crossover (noisy, best for skilled traders)
- **Confirmation Bars** - Waits N bars before confirming signal (recommended)
- **Strength-Based** - Only signals during strong momentum (filters weakest moves)
#### **CONFIRMATION BARS MODE** (Recommended)
Best for reducing false signals while staying responsive to real moves.
**Confirmation Bars**
- **Default:** 2 bars
- **Range:** 1-10 bars
- Waits for the signal to hold for N consecutive bars after crossover
- **Setting 1:** Every crossover (same as "None")
- **Setting 2:** Wait 1 bar confirmation (good balance)
- **Setting 3:** Wait 2 bars confirmation (filters 50% of noise)
- **Setting 4+:** Very selective, misses quick reversals
**How it works:**
1. OBV crosses signal line → Confirmation counter starts
2. If OBV stays on correct side for 2 bars → V-marker appears
3. If OBV crosses back → Counter resets, no signal
#### **STRENGTH-BASED MODE**
Only signals when momentum is statistically significant.
**Min Z-Score Strength**
- **Default:** 0.3
- **Range:** 0.0-3.0
- Requires OBV deviation from its mean to reach this threshold
- **Setting 0.1-0.3:** More signals, lower quality
- **Setting 0.5-0.8:** Moderate signals, good quality
- **Setting 1.0+:** Only the strongest momentum shifts
**How it works:**
- Calculates how far OBV is from its 50-bar average (Z-score)
- Only shows signals when this distance is meaningful
- Automatically avoids weak, choppy market conditions
---
### **VISUALS & COLORS GROUP**
**Highlight Crossovers?**
- **Default:** ON
- Master toggle for all signal markers
- Turn OFF to see only the OBV/signal lines
**Apply Ribbon Filling?**
- **Default:** ON
- Colors the space between OBV and signal line
- Green fill = OBV above signal (bullish)
- Red fill = OBV below signal (bearish)
- Provides clear visual trend confirmation
- Turn OFF for minimal chart clutter
---
### **STATS & ZONES GROUP**
**Use Window-Normalized OBV (visual only)?**
- **Default:** ON
- Removes long-term trend from OBV for clearer short-term signals

## Trading Strategy Examples
### **Strategy 1: Signal Line Crossovers (Beginner)**
**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **Confirmation Bars**
- Confirmation Bars: **2-3**
- Show Signal Markers: **ON**
**Rules:**
1. **BUY signal** (green V): When OBV crosses above signal line and holds for 2-3 bars
- Confirms buying pressure is building
- Look for price to follow within 1-3 bars
2. **SELL signal** (red V): When OBV crosses below signal line and holds for 2-3 bars
- Confirms selling pressure is increasing
- Expect price decline
3. **Exit:** Take profits at next signal or use price support/resistance
**Best For:** Swing trading, intraday reversals, timeframes 5m-1h
---
### **Strategy 2: Zero Line Bounce (Intermediate)**
**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **Strength-Based**
- Min Z-Score Strength: **0.5**
- Show Z-Score StdDev Zones: **ON**
**Rules:**
1. **Watch OBV approach zero line** during established trends
- OBV bouncing repeatedly off zero = trend is healthy
- OBV breaking through zero = trend reversal imminent
2. **Enter on bounce:** Buy when OBV bounces from zero line in uptrend
3. **Exit on break:** Close position when OBV breaks below zero line
4. **Confirm with Z-Score:** Only take trades when Z-Score shows momentum (|Z| > 0.5)
**Best For:** Trend traders, identifying trend strength, medium timeframes 15m-4h
---
### **Strategy 3: Momentum Extremes (Advanced)**
**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **None**
- Show Z-Score StdDev Zones: **ON**
- Outer Zone: **2.0**
**Rules:**
1. **Identify extremes:** When Z-Score breaks outer zone (±2.0)
- Indicator is in extreme territory
- Likely overextended
2. **Fade extremes:** Take opposite position when Z-Score hits extreme
- High Z (>2.0) = OBV overbought, expect pullback
- Low Z (<-2.0) = OBV oversold, expect bounce
3. **Confirm:** Wait for crossover signal to enter
4. **Target:** Outer zone of opposite side or zero line
**Best For:** Range trading, mean reversion, experienced traders only

## Common Questions & Troubleshooting
**Q: Why are there more sell signals than buy signals?**
A: This reflects the actual market action. Markets often decline faster than they rise (fear > greed). Confirm signals with price action and support/resistance.
**Q: The indicator keeps whipsawing, should I hide it?**
A: Increase Confirmation Bars to 3-4 or switch to Strength-Based filter. Market conditions matter—choppy markets require stricter filters.
**Q: What's the difference between normalized and raw OBV?**
A: Normalized (detrended) shows shorter-term momentum by removing long-term trends. Raw OBV shows absolute accumulation/distribution over the full period. Use normalized for swing signals, raw for trend confirmation.
**Q: My signals come too late. How do I get faster entry?**
A: Reduce Smoothing Length (try 14 instead of 21), use EMA instead of SMA, or set Confirmation Bars to 1. Trade-off: More false signals.
**Q: Can I use this for day trading?**
A: Yes, on 1m-5m charts with aggressive settings. Use Confirmation Bars: 1 and focus on Z-Score > 0.5 entries only.
**Q: Should I trade every signal?**
A: No. Filter signals using: price near support/resistance, multiple indicators confirming, and Z-Score showing momentum. Best signals occur at key levels.

## Best Practices
1. **Always confirm with price action:** OBV signals work best when price is near support, resistance, or moving average. Don't trade signals in a vacuum.
2. **Use volume context:** Check if volume is increasing or decreasing on the signal. Strong signals have volume confirmation (increasing volume on OBV spikes).
3. **Adjust settings per timeframe:**
- 1m-5m: Smoothing 12, Confirmation 1, Z-Score 0.2
- 15m-1h: Smoothing 20, Confirmation 2, Z-Score 0.3
- 4h-1d: Smoothing 25, Confirmation 3, Z-Score 0.5
4. **Watch the zero line:** It's your friend. OBV behavior at the zero line reveals trend strength. Bounces = healthy trend. Breaks = reversal.
5. **Risk management:** No indicator is perfect. Use proper position sizing and stop losses. OBV should confirm your thesis, not be the only reason to trade.
6. **Combine with other indicators:**
- Price moving averages for trend confirmation
- RSI or Stochastic for overbought/oversold levels
- Support/resistance for entry/exit zones
- MACD for momentum divergences

## Version History
**Version 1.0** - Initial release with enhanced signal filtering, Z-Score analysis, and customizable parameters.
MTF OB & FVG detector w/ Alerts v2# MTF Order Blocks & Fair Value Gaps Detector with Alerts v2
## Overview
This indicator combines **Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks (OB)** and **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** detection with integrated bounce alerts. It displays Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes simultaneously and generates real-time alerts when price bounces from these critical zones.
## Key Features
### 🎯 Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks Detection
- **Volumetric Analysis**: Each Order Block displays total volume and dominant side percentage
- **Multiple Timeframes**: Supports 1min, 3min, 5min, 15min, and 60min timeframes
- **Smart Combining**: Automatically merges overlapping Order Blocks from different timeframes into powerful confluence zones
- **Dynamic Extension**: Order Blocks extend until broken, providing clear visual guidance
- **Volume Distribution**: Shows bullish vs bearish volume breakdown with percentage
### 📊 Fair Value Gaps (FVG) Detection
- **Lightweight Processing**: Works on current chart timeframe only for optimal performance
- **Volume Metrics**: Displays FVG volume and dominant side percentage
- **Mitigation Tracking**: Automatically tracks when FVGs are filled or broken
- **Customizable Mitigation Source**: Choose between close price or high/low wicks
### 🔔 Comprehensive Alert System
- **Bounce Alerts**: Get notified when price bounces from OB or FVG zones
- **New Formation Alerts**: Alerts when new Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps form
- **Combined Zone Alerts**: Special alerts when multiple Order Blocks merge into strong confluence zones
- **Customizable Thresholds**: Set minimum number of combined OBs required for strong zone alerts
### 🎨 Visual Customization
- **Inverted Color Schemes**: Optional inverted colors for both OB and FVG
- OB: Choose between traditional (Bullish=Blue, Bearish=Red) or inverted (Bullish=Red, Bearish=Blue)
- FVG: Choose between Bullish=Orange/Bearish=Aqua or inverted
- **Clean Labels**: Shows timeframe, zone type, volume, and dominant percentage
- **Combined Tags**: Optional labels for merged zones
- **Adjustable Extension**: Control how far zones extend into the future
## How It Works
### Order Blocks
Order Blocks identify institutional trading zones where large players have placed significant orders. The indicator:
1. Detects swing highs/lows using configurable swing length
2. Identifies the last opposing candle before a strong move
3. Analyzes volume distribution (bullish vs bearish)
4. Tracks zone validity until price breaks through
5. Combines overlapping zones from multiple timeframes
### Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gaps represent price imbalances that often get filled. The indicator:
1. Identifies 3-candle patterns with gaps between candles
2. Filters gaps by size percentile to show only significant ones
3. Calculates volume distribution within the gap
4. Tracks mitigation when price returns to fill the gap
5. Extends gaps dynamically until filled
### Bounce Detection
The indicator detects bounces using a two-step process:
1. **Touch Phase**: Tracks when price enters a zone (touchedInside flag)
2. **Bounce Phase**: Confirms bounce when price exits the zone in the expected direction
- Bullish zones: Price closes above top after touching inside
- Bearish zones: Price closes below bottom after touching inside
## Settings Guide
### General Configuration
- **Show Historic Zones**: Display invalidated/broken zones
- **Zone Invalidation**: Choose between wick or close for break detection
- **Combine Overlapping Order Blocks**: Merge OBs from different timeframes
- **Swing Length**: Controls sensitivity (smaller = more OBs, larger = fewer OBs)
- **Zone Count**: Choose from High/Medium/Low/One per timeframe
- **Invert Colors OB**: Swap bullish/bearish color scheme
### Alert Settings
- **Enable Alerts**: Master switch for all alerts
- **Alert on Bullish/Bearish Bounce**: Choose which bounce directions to monitor
- **Alert on New OB Formation**: Get notified when new Order Blocks form

Luxy VWAP Magic - MTF Projection EngineThis indicator transforms the classic VWAP into a comprehensive trading system. Instead of switching between multiple indicators, you get everything in one place: multi-timeframe analysis, statistical bands, momentum detection, volume profiling, session tracking, and divergence signals.
What Makes This Different
Traditional VWAP indicators show a single line. This tool treats VWAP as a foundation for complete market analysis. The indicator automatically detects your asset type (stocks, crypto, forex, futures) and adjusts its behavior accordingly. Crypto traders get 24/7 session tracking. Stock traders get proper market hours handling. Everyone gets institutional-grade analytics.
Anchor Period Options
The anchor period determines when VWAP resets and recalculates. You have three categories of options:
Time-Based Anchors:
Session - Resets at market open. Best for intraday stock trading where you want fresh VWAP each day.
Day - Resets at midnight UTC. Standard option for most traders.
Week / Month / Quarter / Year - Longer reset periods for swing traders and position traders who want broader context.
Rolling Window Anchors:
Rolling 5D - A sliding 5-day window that never resets. Solves the Monday problem where weekly VWAP equals daily VWAP on first day of week.
Rolling 21D - Approximately one month of trading data in continuous calculation. Excellent for crypto and forex markets that trade 24/7 without clear session breaks.
Event-Based Anchors:
Dividends - Resets on ex-dividend dates. Track institutional cost basis from dividend events.
Splits - Resets on stock split dates. Useful for analyzing post-split trading behavior.
Earnings - Resets on earnings report dates. See where volume-weighted trading occurred since last quarterly report.
Standard Deviation Bands
Three sets of bands surround the main VWAP line:
Band 1 (Aqua) - Plus and minus one standard deviation. Approximately 68% of price action occurs within this range under normal distribution. Touches suggest minor extension.
Band 2 (Fuchsia) - Plus and minus two standard deviations. Only 5% of trading should occur outside this range statistically. Touches here indicate significant overextension and high probability of mean reversion.
Band 3 (Purple) - Plus and minus three standard deviations. Touches are rare (0.3% probability) and represent extreme conditions. Often marks climax moves or panic selling/buying.
Each band can be toggled independently. Most traders show Band 1 by default and add Band 2 and 3 for specific setups or volatile instruments.
Multi-Timeframe VWAP System
The MTF section plots previous period VWAPs as horizontal support and resistance levels:
Daily VWAP - Previous day's final VWAP value. Key intraday reference level.
Weekly VWAP - Previous week's final VWAP. Important for swing traders.
Monthly VWAP - Previous month's final VWAP. Institutional benchmark level.
Quarterly VWAP - Previous quarter's final VWAP. Major support/resistance for position traders.
Previous Day VWAP - Yesterday's closing VWAP specifically, separate from current daily calculation.
The Confluence Zone percentage setting determines how close multiple VWAPs must be to trigger a confluence alert. When two or more timeframe VWAPs converge within this threshold, you get a high-probability support/resistance zone.
Session VWAPs for Global Markets
For forex, crypto, and futures traders who operate in 24/7 markets, the indicator tracks three major global sessions:
Asia Session - UTC 21:00 to 08:00. Gold colored line. Typically lower volatility, range-bound action that sets overnight levels.
London Session - UTC 08:00 to 17:00. Orange colored line. Often determines daily direction with high volume European participation.
New York Session - UTC 13:00 to 22:00. Blue colored line. Highest volume session globally. Sharp directional moves common.
Previous session VWAP values display as horizontal lines when each session closes, acting as intraday support and resistance. The table shows which sessions are currently active with checkmarks.
On-Chart Labels and Signals
The indicator plots several types of labels directly on price action when significant events occur:
Volume Spike Labels
Fire when current bar volume exceeds configurable thresholds relative to both the previous bar and the 20-bar average. Default settings require 300% of previous bar AND 200% of average volume. Green labels indicate bullish candles. Red labels indicate bearish candles. These spikes often mark institutional entry points.
Momentum Shift Labels
Appear when VWAP acceleration changes direction. The Slowing label warns when an active trend loses steam, often preceding reversal. The Accelerating label confirms trend continuation or potential bottom during downtrends. Filters available to show only reversal signals in existing trends.
VWAP Squeeze Labels
Detect when standard deviation bands contract relative to ATR (Average True Range). Low volatility compression often precedes explosive breakout moves. When the squeeze fires (releases), a label appears with directional prediction based on VWAP slope.
Divergence Labels
Mark price/volume divergences using CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) analysis:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low, but CVD makes higher low. Hidden accumulation despite price weakness.
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high, but CVD makes lower high. Hidden distribution despite price strength.
Dynamic VWAP Coloring
The main VWAP line changes color based on its slope direction:
Green - VWAP is rising. Institutional buying pressure. Volume-weighted price increasing.
Red - VWAP is falling. Institutional selling pressure. Volume-weighted price decreasing.
Gray - VWAP is flat. Consolidation or balance between buyers and sellers.
This coloring can be disabled for a static blue line if you prefer cleaner visuals. The VWAP label next to the line shows the current trend direction and delta percentage.
Calculated Projection Cone
One of the most powerful features is the Calculated Projection Cone. Unlike traditional extrapolation methods that simply extend a trend line forward, this system analyzes what actually happened in similar market conditions throughout the chart's history.
How It Works:
The system classifies each bar into one of 27 unique market states:
Z-Score Level - LOW (oversold), MID (fair value), or HIGH (overbought) based on configurable thresholds
Trend Direction - DOWN, FLAT, or UP based on VWAP slope
Volume Profile - LOW (below 80%), NORMAL (80-150%), or HIGH (above 150%) relative volume
When you look at the current bar, the indicator:
1. Identifies the current market state (e.g., LOW Z-Score + UP Trend + HIGH Volume)
2. Searches through all historical bars on the chart that had the same state
3. Calculates what happened in those bars X bars later (where X is your projection horizon)
4. Shows you the probability of up/down and the average move size
Visual Elements:
Probability Cone - Colored green (bullish probability above 55%), red (bearish below 45%), or gold (neutral). The cone width represents the historical range of outcomes (roughly the 20th to 80th percentile).
Center Line - Shows the average expected price based on historical outcomes in similar conditions.
Probability Label - Displays direction probability and average move. Example: "67% UP (+0.8%)" means 67% of similar past cases moved up, averaging 0.8% gain.
Fallback System:
When the exact 27-state match has insufficient historical data:
First fallback: Uses Z-Score plus Trend only (9 broader states, ignoring volume)
Second fallback: Uses Z-Score only (3 states)
When fallback is active, confidence automatically adjusts
Settings:
Projection Horizon - How many bars forward to analyze outcomes (5, 10, 15, or 20 bars, default 10)
Lookback Period - Historical data window in days (30-252, default 60)
Minimum Samples - Cases needed before using fallback (5-30, default 10)
Z-Score Threshold - Bucket boundary for LOW/MID/HIGH classification (1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 sigma)
Cloud Transparency - Adjust visibility (50-95%)
Colors - Customize bullish, bearish, and neutral cone colors
Confidence Levels:
HIGH - 30 or more similar historical cases found
MEDIUM - 15-29 similar cases
LOW - Fewer than 15 cases (more uncertainty)
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
The Calculated Projection is based on past patterns only. It is NOT a price prediction or financial advice. Similar market states in the past do not guarantee similar outcomes in the future. The probability shown is historical frequency, not a guarantee. Always combine with other analysis and never rely solely on projections for trading decisions.

The indicator includes over 20 pre-built alert conditions:
Price vs VWAP:
Price crosses above VWAP
Price crosses below VWAP
Band Touches:
Price touches plus or minus one sigma band
Price touches plus or minus two sigma band (extreme)

The Info Table - Your Trading Dashboard
The right side of your chart displays a compact table with up to twelve metrics.
Row-by-Row Breakdown:
Asset and Period - Shows what the indicator detected (US Stock, Crypto, Forex, etc.) and your selected anchor period. The detection happens automatically based on exchange data, so VWAP resets and calculations match your actual trading instrument.
Delta Percentage - How far current price sits from VWAP, expressed as a percentage. Positive means price trades above fair value. Negative means below. Large delta values (beyond 1-2%) often precede mean reversion moves. Day traders watch this for overextension.
Z-Score - Statistical deviation from VWAP measured in standard deviations. Unlike raw delta, Z-Score accounts for volatility. A 2% move in a volatile biotech stock differs from 2% in a stable utility. Z-Score normalizes this. Values beyond plus or minus two sigma occur only 5% of the time statistically.
Trend Direction - Whether VWAP itself is rising, falling, or flat. Rising VWAP means the volume-weighted average price is increasing, which indicates institutional accumulation. Falling VWAP suggests distribution. This differs from price trend since it weights by volume.
Momentum State - Is the trend accelerating or slowing down? This measures the rate of change in VWAP slope. When an uptrend shows slowing momentum, it often precedes reversal. Accelerating momentum in a downtrend can signal capitulation and potential bottom.
Relative Volume - Current bar volume compared to the 20-bar average, shown as percentage. Values above 150% indicate above-average activity. Spikes above 200-300% often mark institutional involvement. Low volume (below 80%) warns of potential fake moves.
MTF Bias - Four checkmarks or X marks showing whether price sits above or below Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly VWAP. Four checkmarks means strong bullish alignment across all timeframes. Four X marks indicates bearish alignment. Mixed readings suggest consolidation or transition.
Band Probabilities - Historical statistics showing how often price touched each standard deviation band over your lookback period. This helps you understand if mean reversion or trend following works better for your specific instrument.
Session Status - Which global trading sessions are currently active (Asia, London, New York). Shows checkmarks for active sessions. Important for forex and crypto traders who need to know when major liquidity windows open and close.
Divergence State - Whether the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence between price and cumulative volume delta. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows but buying pressure (CVD) makes higher lows, suggesting hidden accumulation.
Confidence Score - A weighted composite of all factors displayed as a progress bar and percentage. Combines MTF alignment, Z-Score, trend direction, volume delta, momentum, and relative volume into a single 0-100 score. Higher scores indicate stronger conviction setups.
Calculated Projection - When the Projection Cone is enabled, shows the historical probability of price direction and expected move. For example: "▲ 67% (+0.8%)" means in similar market states historically, price moved up 67% of the time with an average gain of 0.8%. The system analyzes 27 unique market states based on Z-Score, Trend, and Volume conditions.
Recommended Use Cases
Day Trading Stocks:
Use Session anchor with Band 1 visible. Watch for price returning to VWAP after morning move. Volume spikes near VWAP often mark institutional accumulation zones.
Swing Trading:
Use Weekly or Rolling 21D anchor. Enable MTF lines for Daily and Weekly levels. Trade pullbacks to these levels in direction of MTF bias.
Crypto and Forex:
Enable Session VWAPs. Use Rolling anchors to avoid artificial resets. Monitor session transitions for breakout opportunities.
Mean Reversion:
Focus on Z-Score reaching plus or minus two. Add Band 2 visibility. Combine with slowing momentum for highest probability reversals.
Trend Following:
Watch MTF bias alignment. Four checkmarks plus accelerating momentum plus high volume confirms trend continuation setups.
Projection Planning:
Enable the Calculated Projection to see what happened historically in similar market conditions. Use 5-10 bars for intraday setups, 15-20 bars for swing trade planning. Focus on high probability readings (above 60%) with HIGH confidence (30 or more samples). The cone shows the probable range of outcomes based on actual historical data. Combine with other factors like MTF alignment and volume for higher conviction setups.
Important Notes
The indicator does not repaint. MTF values use previous period's confirmed data.
Rolling VWAP works best on 15-minute timeframes and above due to bar lookback requirements.
Session VWAPs apply to global markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). Enable the all-assets option for stocks if desired.
Volume data for forex represents tick volume, not actual traded volume.
All alert conditions fire only on confirmed (closed) bars to prevent false signals.
The Calculated Projection updates each bar as market state changes. This is expected behavior. The projection shows probabilities based on similar past conditions, not a fixed prediction.
Q AND A
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: No. The main VWAP calculation uses standard TradingView VWAP methodology. Multi-timeframe values use previous period's confirmed data with appropriate lookahead settings. All alert signals require bar confirmation.
Q: Why does my Rolling VWAP look different on 1-minute versus 15-minute charts?
A: Rolling VWAP calculates across a fixed number of trading days. On very short timeframes, the bar lookback may hit TradingView limits. For best Rolling VWAP accuracy, use 15-minute or higher timeframes.
Q: Can I use this on any instrument?
A: Yes. The indicator automatically detects asset type and adjusts behavior. Stocks use standard market hours. Crypto uses 24/7 calculations. Forex uses tick volume. Everything adapts automatically.
Q: What does the Confidence Score actually measure?
A: The score combines six weighted factors: MTF alignment (25%), Z-Score position (20%), Trend direction (20%), CVD pressure (15%), Momentum state (10%), and Relative volume (10%). Higher scores indicate more factors aligned in one direction.
Q: Why are Session VWAPs not showing on my stock chart?
A: Session VWAPs apply to 24-hour markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). For stocks, enable the Use for All Assets option in Session VWAP settings.
Q: The Divergence labels appear delayed. Is this a bug?
A: Divergence detection requires pivot confirmation, which needs bars on both sides of the pivot point. The label appears at the actual pivot location (several bars back) once confirmed. This is intentional and prevents false signals.
Q: Can I change the band colors?
A: Yes. Each of the three bands has its own color input setting. You can customize Band 1, Band 2, and Band 3 colors to match your preferences. The defaults are Aqua, Fuchsia, and Purple. The main VWAP line color adapts dynamically based on slope direction or can be set to static blue.
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Right-click on the chart, select Add Alert, choose this indicator, and select your desired condition from the dropdown. All conditions include descriptive alert messages with relevant data.
Q: What is the Probability Engine lookback period?
A: This setting determines how many trading days the indicator analyzes to calculate band touch rates and mean reversion statistics. Default is 60 days (approximately 3 months). Longer periods provide more stable statistics but may miss recent behavior changes.
Q: Why do I see fewer labels than expected?
A: Signal labels (Volume, Momentum, Squeeze, Divergence) are limited to 5 most recent labels on the chart to keep it clean. When a new label appears, the oldest one is automatically removed. Additionally, momentum labels have several filters: check the slope multiplier setting (higher values require stronger trends) and the Only Reversal Signals option (when enabled, labels only appear for potential reversals, not trend confirmations).
Q: What is the Calculated Projection and how accurate is it?
A: The Calculated Projection analyzes what happened in past market conditions similar to the current state. It classifies each bar by Z-Score level, Trend direction, and Volume profile (27 unique states), then shows the historical probability of up vs down and the average move size. It is NOT a price prediction or guarantee. The probability shown is how often similar conditions led to up/down moves historically, not a future guarantee. Always use it as one input among many.
Q: Why does the Projection probability change?
A: The projection updates on each bar as market state changes. If Z-Score moves from LOW to MID, or trend shifts from UP to FLAT, the system looks up a different historical category. This is expected behavior. The projection shows what happened in similar past conditions to the current bar's state.
Q: The Projection shows LOW confidence. What does that mean?
A: Confidence levels indicate sample size: HIGH means 30 or more historical cases found, MEDIUM means 15-29 cases, LOW means fewer than 15 cases. When sample size is low, the system uses a fallback: first aggregating by Z-Score plus Trend only (ignoring volume), then by Z-Score only. LOW confidence means less statistical reliability, so weight other factors more heavily in your decision.
Q: Why does the cone sometimes show 50/50 probability?
A: A 50/50 reading means that in similar past market states, price moved up roughly half the time and down half the time. This indicates a neutral or balanced condition where historical patterns provide no directional edge. Consider waiting for a higher probability setup or using other analysis methods.

⚠️ Disclaimer
This is a technical assistant tool that helps interpret price movement probabilities; it should not be used as a standalone buy/sell signal.
Signal reliability may vary depending on volatility, volume, and timeframe.
Always conduct backtesting and validation before using it in real trading strategies.
MeanReversion_tradeALERTOverview The Apex Reversal Predictor v2.5 is a specialized mean reversion strategy designed for scalping high-volatility assets like NQ (Nasdaq), ES (S&P 500), and Crypto. While most indicators chase breakouts, this system hunts for "Liquidity Sweeps"—moments where the market briefly breaks a key level to trap retail traders before snapping back to the true value (VWAP).
This is not just a signal indicator; it is a full Trade Manager that calculates your Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels automatically based on volatility (ATR).
The Logic: Why This Works Markets act like a rubber band. They can only stretch so far from their average price before snapping back. This script combines three layers of logic to identify these snap-back points:
The Stretch (Sigma Score): Measures how far price is from the VWAP relative to ATR. If the score > 2.0, the "rubber band" is overextended.
The Trap (Liquidity Sweep): Identifies Pivot Highs/Lows. It waits for price to break a pivot (luring in breakout traders) and then immediately reverse (trapping them).
The Exhaustion (RSI): Confirms that momentum is Overbought/Oversold to prevent trading against a strong trend.
Key Features
Dynamic Lines: Automatically draws Blue (Entry), Red (SL), and Green (TP) lines on the chart for active trades.
Smart Targets: Two modes for taking profit:
Mean Reversion: Targets the VWAP line (High Win Rate).
Fixed Ratio: Targets a specific Risk:Reward (e.g., 1:2).
Live Dashboard: Tracks Win Rate, Net Points, and the live "Stretch Score" in the bottom right corner.
Alert Ready: Formatted JSON alerts for easy integration with Discord or trading bots.
How & When to Use (User Guide)
1. Best Timeframes
5-Minute (5m): Best for NQ and volatile stocks (TSLA, NVDA). Filters out 1-minute noise but catches the intraday reversals.
15-Minute (15m): Best for Forex or slower-moving indices (ES).
2. The Setup Checklist Before taking a trade, look at the Dashboard in the bottom right:
Step 1: Check the "Stretch (Sigma)". Is it Orange or Red? This means price is extended and ripe for a reversal. If it's Green, the market is calm—be careful.
Step 2: Wait for the Signal.
"Apex BUY" (Green Label): Price swept a low and closed green.
"Apex SELL" (Red Label): Price swept a high and closed red.
Step 3: Execute. Enter at the close of the signal candle. Set your stop loss at the Red Line provided by the script.
3. Warning / When NOT to Use
Strong Trending Days: If the market is trending heavily (e.g., creating higher highs all day without looking back), do not fight the trend.
News Events: Avoid using this during CPI, FOMC, or NFP releases. The "rubber band" logic breaks during news because volatility expands indefinitely.
Quantum Uncertainty by Kingshuk GhoshLet me explain this indicator in simple, practical terms, including the fascinating physics concept that inspired me.
This indicator helps to understand when the market is predictable (safe to trade) versus unpredictable (risky to trade). It shows the probability zones where price is likely to move and warns you when conditions are too chaotic for reliable trading.
The Physics Behind It: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle:-
This indicator is inspired by one of the most profound discoveries in physics: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
What Is The Uncertainty Principle?
In 1927, physicist Werner Heisenberg discovered something remarkable about the universe: you cannot simultaneously know both the exact position and exact momentum of a particle with perfect precision. The more accurately you know one, the less accurately you can know the other.
Simple Analogy:
Imagine trying to photograph a speeding bullet:
Use fast shutter speed → You see exactly WHERE it is (position), but the image is frozen, so you can't tell HOW FAST it's moving (momentum)
Use slow shutter speed → You see motion blur showing HOW FAST it's moving (momentum), but you can't pinpoint exactly WHERE it is (position)
You can never have both perfect clarity simultaneously - there's always a trade-off.
How This Applies To Trading
The indicator translates this principle to financial markets:
In Physics:
Position Uncertainty × Momentum Uncertainty = Always greater than a minimum value
High uncertainty in one means high uncertainty overall
In Trading:
Price Position Uncertainty = How much the price bounces around (volatility)
Price Momentum Uncertainty = How erratic the directional strength is
Total Market Uncertainty = Price Volatility × Momentum Volatility
The Trading Insight:
Just like in physics, when BOTH price position and momentum are uncertain (highly volatile), the market becomes fundamentally unpredictable. You can't reliably know where price will go next because the system is in high uncertainty state.
Why This Matters For You
Traditional indicators often look at price OR momentum separately. This indicator recognizes that both must be considered together to truly understand market predictability, just as Heisenberg showed that position and momentum must be considered together in physics.
When both uncertainties are high simultaneously:
Price could jump anywhere
Momentum could shift instantly
Predictions become unreliable
Trading becomes gambling
When both uncertainties are low:
Price behavior is more regular
Momentum is more stable
Patterns become clearer
Trading becomes strategic
This is why the indicator's core metric multiplies price volatility by momentum volatility - it's capturing that fundamental uncertainty relationship.
Market Uncertainty
The indicator calculates how unpredictable the market currently is by examining:
How much price is bouncing around (price volatility)
How erratic the momentum is (momentum instability)
When both are high simultaneously, the market becomes highly unpredictable. When both are calm, the market is more reliable for trading.
Think of it like driving:
Low uncertainty = Clear road, good visibility, safe to drive
High uncertainty = Fog, rain, poor visibility, dangerous conditions
Probability Bands
The indicator draws colored bands around a central average price line:
White Center Line (Basis)
The average price over your lookback period
Acts as a equilibrium point where price gravitates
Blue Bands (Inner Zone)
Covers about 68% of normal price behavior
Price spends most of its time here
This is the "normal operating range"
Purple Bands (Outer Zone)
Covers about 95% of all price behavior
Price rarely ventures here
When it does, it's unusual and noteworthy
Highway Lane Analogy:
Most drivers stay in center lanes (blue zone)
Few drivers use extreme outer lanes (purple zone)
When someone drives on the shoulder, it's abnormal and signals something is happening
Wave Function Collapse
Another physics concept applied here: In quantum mechanics, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously (superposition) until they're measured - then the "wave function collapses" to a single state.
In This Indicator:
The probability bands represent all the possible states price could be in. When price moves and settles at a specific level, it's like the wave function collapsing - probability becomes reality.
The indicator helps you see:
Where price is most likely to be (high probability zones - blue bands)
Where price rarely goes (low probability zones - purple bands)
When price is in an "impossible" state (outside bands - tunneling)
Price Position
The indicator tracks where current price sits within these bands:
Upper position = Price in the top half (bullish territory)
Lower position = Price in the bottom half (bearish territory)
Extreme positions = Price in outer 30% on either side (potential reversal zones)
Quantum Tunneling Signals
This is another physics concept: In quantum mechanics, particles can sometimes "tunnel" through barriers that classical physics says they shouldn't be able to cross.
In Trading:
When price breaks through the 95% probability barrier, it's "tunneling" into statistically improbable territory - these are marked by triangles:
Green Triangle Up
Price tunneled through the upper 95% barrier
This is statistically rare (happens only 5% of the time)
Often signals price exhaustion or coming reversal downward
Like a particle that tunneled too far and will snap back
Red Triangle Down
Price tunneled through the lower 95% barrier
Also statistically unusual
Often signals panic selling may be overdone
Like a spring compressed too far, ready to bounce
These "tunneling events" are significant because they represent extreme deviations from normal probability - and markets tend to revert to normal.
Entanglement Score
In quantum physics, "entanglement" means two particles are connected such that measuring one instantly affects the other, no matter the distance.
In Trading:
This measures whether price movements are "entangled" with trading volume - do they move together in a connected way?
High Entanglement (above 0.5)
Price and volume move together
Volume confirms the price action
More reliable, trustworthy moves
Like entangled particles - they're truly connected
Low Entanglement (below 0.3)
Price moves without volume support
Suspicious, unsupported movements
Less reliable, be cautious
Like particles that aren't entangled - the connection is weak
Negative Entanglement
Price and volume move in opposite directions
Often signals divergence or potential reversal
Requires careful interpretation
Information Dashboard:
1. Uncertainty Level
Shows current market unpredictability (the core Heisenberg principle calculation):
✓ Normal (Green) = Market is behaving predictably, safe to trade
⚠ High Risk (Red) = Market is chaotic, avoid trading
This is your first checkpoint - if uncertainty is high, don't proceed further.
2. Probability Score
Shows how normal or extreme the current price is:
Percentage shown = Where price sits in the probability distribution
✓ Safe (Green) = Price in normal range (middle 70%)
⛔ Extreme (Red) = Price at statistical outliers (outer 15%)
High percentage (>85%) = Price near the average, stable situation
Low percentage (<15%) = Price at extremes, unstable situation
3. Position Indicator
Tells you which side of the market you're on:
Upper/Lower = Basic location in the bands
→ Neutral (Gray) = Price in balanced middle zone
⚠ Reversal? (Orange) = Price at extremes, watch for turnaround
This helps you anticipate potential support or resistance levels.
4. Entanglement Confirmation
Shows the correlation number and interpretation:
✓ Confirmed (Green) = Volume strongly supports price (>0.5)
⚠ Weak (Orange) = Poor volume support (<0.5)
Always prefer trading when entanglement is confirmed - it means the move is "real" with participant backing.
5. Trade Status - YOUR MAIN SIGNAL
This is the indicator's final verdict combining all factors:
✓ TRADEABLE (Green)
Uncertainty is normal
Probability is safe
Entanglement is decent
Action: Market conditions favor trading
⛔ AVOID (Red)
One or more conditions are unfavorable
Market is too unpredictable
Action: Stay out, preserve capital.
Scenario A: Perfect Buy Setup
Red triangle appears (quantum tunneling down)
Position shows "Lower" with "⚠ Reversal?" warning
Entanglement shows "✓ Confirmed"
Trade Status: "✓ TRADEABLE"
Interpretation: Price hit extreme low with volume support, likely to bounce back to probability zone
Action: Consider long entry with stop below recent low
Scenario B: Perfect Sell Setup
Green triangle appears (quantum tunneling up)
Position shows "Upper" with "⚠ Reversal?" warning
Entanglement shows "✓ Confirmed"
Trade Status: "✓ TRADEABLE"
Interpretation: Price hit extreme high, exhaustion in high uncertainty zone
Action: Consider short entry or exit longs with stop above recent high
Scenario C: High Uncertainty - Stay Out
Uncertainty shows "⚠ High Risk"
Probability shows "⛔ Extreme"
Trade Status: "⛔ AVOID"
Interpretation: Both price and momentum uncertainties are high - market is fundamentally unpredictable (Heisenberg principle in action)
Action: No trading, wait for uncertainty to decrease
Scenario D: Trending Market
Price consistently stays in upper bands
No tunneling signals
Entanglement remains high
Trade Status stays "✓ TRADEABLE"
Interpretation: Strong trend with low uncertainty
Action: Trade with the trend, don't fight it
Scenario E: Choppy, Range-Bound
Price bounces between inner blue bands
Frequent status changes between TRADEABLE and AVOID
Entanglement fluctuates
Interpretation: Market lacks direction, uncertainty fluctuating
Action: Use bands as support/resistance for scalping, or wait for breakout.
Why The Uncertainty Principle Matters In Trading
Traditional technical analysis often looks at indicators in isolation:
"RSI is oversold, so buy"
"Price is volatile, so wait"
"Volume is high, so trade"
But Heisenberg's principle teaches us that multiple uncertainties interact and compound. This indicator recognizes that truth:
When price volatility is high AND momentum is erratic:
You can't reliably predict where price will go
You can't reliably predict how strong the move will be
The combination creates fundamental unpredictability
This is when the indicator says "AVOID"
When price volatility is low AND momentum is stable:
Price behavior becomes more regular
Directional moves become more reliable
The low combined uncertainty creates tradeable conditions
This is when the indicator says "TRADEABLE"
The Probability Wave Function
In quantum mechanics, until you measure a particle, it exists in all possible states simultaneously (superposition). The probability wave describes where it's most likely to be found.
The bands work the same way:
Blue bands = Where price has 68% probability of being (1 standard deviation)
Purple bands = Where price has 95% probability of being (2 standard deviations)
Outside bands = Less than 5% probability (quantum tunneling territory)
When price is in the blue zone, it's in its "natural" superposition state - normal behavior.
When price tunnels outside, it's in an "improbable" state - like a quantum particle appearing where it shouldn't be. Physics tells us this can't last - the wave function will collapse back to normal probability zones. In trading, this means reversion to the mean.
Entanglement and Market Correlation
Quantum entanglement shows us that connections matter - particles don't act in isolation.
In markets:
Price shouldn't move in isolation from volume
When they're "entangled" (moving together), the move is authentic
When they're not entangled (price moves without volume), the move is suspicious
This is why the indicator checks entanglement - it's verifying that the market components are properly connected and confirming each other.
Golden Rules for the indicator:
Never trade during high uncertainty states - When the indicator shows AVOID, it's telling you that fundamental unpredictability (Heisenberg's principle) has taken over. This is non-negotiable.
Reduce position size when entanglement is weak - Even if uncertainty is low, weak volume entanglement means the move may not be authentic.
Respect the quantum tunneling signals - They mark statistical extremes where price has entered improbable territory. Reversion to normal probability zones is likely.
Don't chase price outside the bands - If you missed the tunneling entry, wait for price to return to normal probability zones.
Use the white center line as equilibrium - Like particles gravitating toward lower energy states, price tends to revert to its average.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle teaches us a profound lesson: some things are fundamentally unknowable. You cannot eliminate uncertainty - you can only measure it and decide whether it's low enough to act.
This indicator embraces that wisdom:
It doesn't claim to predict the future
It doesn't promise guaranteed wins
It simply measures current uncertainty
And tells you when conditions are favorable vs. unfavorable
The market, like quantum particles, is probabilistic, not deterministic. You're trading probabilities, not certainties. The indicator helps you identify when those probabilities are in your favor (low uncertainty) and when they're not (high uncertainty).
This is a more mature, realistic approach to trading than indicators that promise to "predict" moves. Instead, this indicator honestly assesses predictability itself.
Remember: Not trading during high uncertainty is just as important as trading during low uncertainty. Preservation of capital is the foundation of long-term success. As Heisenberg taught us, some moments are simply too uncertain to act - and that's okay.

ACCDv3# ACCDv3 - Accumulation/Distribution MACD with Divergence Detection
## Overview
**ACCDv3** (Accumulation/Distribution MACD Version 3) is an advanced volume-weighted momentum indicator that combines the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line with MACD methodology and divergence detection. It helps identify trend strength, momentum shifts, and potential reversals by analyzing volume-weighted price movements.
## Key Features
- **Volume-Weighted MACD**: Applies MACD calculation to volume-weighted A/D values for earlier, more reliable signals
- **Divergence Detection**: Identifies when A/D trend diverges from MACD momentum
- **Volume Strength Filtering**: Distinguishes high-volume confirmations from low-volume noise
- **Color-Coded Histogram**: 4-color system showing momentum direction and volume strength
- **Real-Time Alerts**: Background colors and alert conditions for bullish/bearish divergences
## Components
### 1. Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Line
The A/D line measures buying and selling pressure by comparing the close price to the trading range, weighted by volume:
```
A/D = Σ ((2 × Close - Low - High) / (High - Low)) × Volume
```
- **Rising A/D**: More accumulation (buying pressure)
- **Falling A/D**: More distribution (selling pressure)
- **Doji Handling**: When High = Low, contribution is zero (avoids division errors)
### 2. Volume-Weighted MACD
Instead of simple EMAs, the indicator weights A/D values by volume:
- **Fast Line** (default 12): `EMA(A/D × Volume, 12) / EMA(Volume, 12)`
- **Slow Line** (default 26): `EMA(A/D × Volume, 26) / EMA(Volume, 26)`
- **MACD Line**: Fast Line - Slow Line (green line)
- **Signal Line** (default 9): EMA or SMA of MACD (orange line)
- **Histogram**: MACD - Signal (color-coded columns)
This volume-weighting ensures that periods with higher volume have greater influence on the indicator values.
### 3. Histogram Color System
The histogram uses 4 distinct colors based on **direction** and **volume strength**:
| Condition | Color | Meaning |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| Rising + High Volume | **Dark Green** (#1B5E20) | Strong bullish momentum with volume confirmation |
| Rising + Low Volume | **Light Teal** (#26A69A) | Bullish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) |
| Falling + High Volume | **Dark Red** (#B71C1C) | Strong bearish momentum with volume confirmation |
| Falling + Low Volume | **Light Red/Pink** (#FFCDD2) | Bearish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) |
Additional shading:
- **Light Cyan** (#B2DFDB): Positive but not rising (momentum stalling)
- **Bright Red** (#FF5252): Negative and accelerating down
### 4. Divergence Detection
Divergence occurs when A/D trend and MACD momentum move in opposite directions:
#### Bullish Divergence (Green Background)
- **Condition**: A/D is trending up BUT MACD is negative and trending down
- **Interpretation**: Accumulation increasing while momentum appears weak
- **Signal**: Potential bullish reversal or continuation
- **Action**: Look for entry opportunities or hold long positions
#### Bearish Divergence (Red Background)
- **Condition**: A/D is trending down BUT MACD is positive and trending up
- **Interpretation**: Distribution increasing while momentum appears strong
- **Signal**: Potential bearish reversal or weakening uptrend
- **Action**: Consider exits, tighten stops, or prepare for reversal
## Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| **Fast Length** | 12 | 1-50 | Period for fast EMA (shorter = more sensitive) |
| **Slow Length** | 26 | 1-100 | Period for slow EMA (longer = smoother) |
| **Signal Smoothing** | 9 | 1-50 | Period for signal line (MACD smoothing) |
| **Signal Line MA Type** | EMA | SMA/EMA | Moving average type for signal calculation |
| **Volume MA Length** | 20 | 5-100 | Period for volume average (strength filter) |
## Usage Guide
### Reading the Indicator
1. **MACD Lines (Green & Orange)**
- **Crossovers**: When green crosses above orange = bullish, below = bearish
- **Distance**: Wider gap = stronger momentum
- **Zero Line**: Above = bullish bias, below = bearish bias
2. **Histogram Colors**
- Focus on **dark colors** (dark green/red) for high-confidence signals
- Be cautious with **light colors** (teal/pink) - wait for volume confirmation
- Watch for **rising red bars** (V-bottom pattern) = potential bullish reversal
- Watch for **falling green bars** (Λ-top pattern) = potential bearish reversal
3. **Background Divergence Alerts**
- **Green background**: Bullish divergence - consider long entries
- **Red background**: Bearish divergence - consider exits or shorts
- Best used in combination with price action and support/resistance levels
### Trading Strategies
#### Trend Following
1. Wait for MACD to cross above zero line with dark green histogram
2. Enter long when histogram shows consecutive dark green bars
3. Exit when histogram turns light green or red appears
#### Divergence Trading
1. Wait for background divergence alert (green or red)
2. Confirm with price action (support/resistance, candlestick patterns)
3. Enter on next dark-colored histogram bar in divergence direction
4. Set stops beyond recent swing high/low
#### Volume Confirmation
1. Ignore signals during low-volume periods (light colors)
2. Take aggressive positions during high-volume confirmations (dark colors)
3. Use volume strength as position sizing guide (larger size on dark bars)
### Best Practices
✓ **Combine with price action**: Don't rely on indicator alone
✓ **Wait for dark colors**: High-volume bars are more reliable
✓ **Watch for divergences**: Early warning signs of reversals
✓ **Use multiple timeframes**: Confirm signals across 1m, 5m, 15m
✓ **Respect zero line**: Trading direction should align with MACD side
✗ **Don't chase light-colored signals**: Low volume = lower reliability
✗ **Don't ignore context**: Market structure and levels matter
✗ **Don't over-trade**: Wait for clear, high-volume setups
✗ **Don't ignore alerts**: Divergences are early warnings
## Technical Details
### Volume-Weighted Calculation Method
Traditional MACD uses simple price EMAs. ACCDv3 weights each A/D value by its corresponding volume:
```pine
// Volume-weighted fast EMA
close_vol_fast = ta.ema(ad × volume, fast_length)
vol_fast = ta.ema(volume, fast_length)
vw_ad_fast = close_vol_fast / vol_fast
// Same for slow EMA
close_vol_slow = ta.ema(ad × volume, slow_length)
vol_slow = ta.ema(volume, slow_length)
vw_ad_slow = close_vol_slow / vol_slow
// MACD is the difference
macd = vw_ad_fast - vw_ad_slow
```
This ensures high-volume periods have proportionally more impact on the indicator.
### Volume Strength Filter
Determines whether current volume is above or below average:
```pine
vol_avg = ta.sma(volume, vol_length)
vol_strength = volume > vol_avg
```
Used to select dark (high volume) vs light (low volume) histogram colors.
### Divergence Logic
```pine
// A/D trending up if above its 5-period SMA
ad_trend = ad > ta.sma(ad, 5)
// MACD trending up if above zero
macd_trend = macd > 0
// Divergence when trends oppose
divergence = ad_trend != macd_trend
// Specific conditions
bullish_divergence = ad_trend and not macd_trend and macd < 0
bearish_divergence = not ad_trend and macd_trend and macd > 0
```

## Example Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Strong Bullish Signal
- **Chart**: MACD crosses above zero line
- **Histogram**: Dark green bars (#1B5E20) appearing
- **Volume**: Above 20-period average
- **Action**: Enter long, strong momentum with volume confirmation
### Scenario 2: Weak Bearish Signal
- **Chart**: MACD crosses below zero line
- **Histogram**: Light pink bars (#FFCDD2) appearing
- **Volume**: Below 20-period average
- **Action**: Avoid shorting, low volume = unreliable signal
### Scenario 3: Bullish Divergence Reversal
- **Chart**: Price making lower lows
- **Indicator**: A/D line trending up, MACD negative
- **Background**: Green shading appears
- **Histogram**: Transitions from red to dark green
- **Action**: Look for long entry on next dark green bar
### Scenario 4: V-Bottom Reversal
- **Chart**: Downtrend in place
- **Histogram**: Red bars start rising (becoming less negative)
- **Pattern**: Forms "V" shape at bottom
- **Confirmation**: Transitions to dark green bars
- **Action**: Bullish reversal signal, consider long entry
## Timeframe Recommendations
- **1-minute**: Scalping, very fast signals (noisy, use with caution)
- **5-minute**: Intraday momentum trading (recommended)
- **15-minute**: Swing entries, clearer trend signals
- **1-hour+**: Position trading, major trend identification
## Limitations
- **Requires volume data**: Will not work on instruments without volume
- **Lag during consolidation**: MACD is inherently trend-following
- **False signals in chop**: Sideways markets generate noise
- **Not a standalone system**: Should be combined with price action and risk management
## Version History
- **v3**: Removed traditional price MACD, using only volume-weighted A/D MACD with A/D divergence
- **v2**: Added A/D divergence detection, volume strength filtering, enhanced histogram colors
- **v1**: Basic MACD on A/D line with volume-weighted calculation

⭐ Silver HUD v15.1 — Full Notes Version (3-Column HUD)Silver HUD v15.1 is a comprehensive Pine Script v5 indicator designed for micro silver futures (SIL) trading on TradingView. It overlays a 3-column HUD table displaying real-time analysis across multiple engines including trend, flow, momentum, pullback, turbo (breakout), divergence, volume, and 2H structure. The system generates weighted BUY/SELL scores and final signals with risk warnings, optimized for 5m charts with 30m support/resistance levels.
Core Components
Support/Resistance & Trade Levels
Pulls 30m lowest low (support) and highest high (resistance) for entry/stop/TP calculation. Entry defaults to support, stop loss at support - 0.10, with ATR-based TPs (1x/2x/3x). Risk per lot factors SIL contract specs (1000oz, $5/tick). Alerts when price nears support within 0.05.
Multi-Engine Analysis
TREND: EMA20/50 + VWAP direction (UP/DOWN/MIXED).
FLOW: CCIOBV (CCI+OBV) + QQE momentum sync.
MOMENTUM: RSI/MFI >55 (UP) or <45 (DOWN).
PB (Pullback): EMA20 deviation (-0.4% to +1.2% = OK; flags CHASE/DEEP).
TURBO: ATR percentile + BB width squeeze for BREAKOUT/EXHAUST.
Scores weight flow (30%), momentum (25%), PB (25%), trend/turbo (10-20%). BUY ≥75, SELL ≥72 triggers raw signals.
Advanced Features
2H Structure: Detects HH/HL/LL/LH swings for macro bias (UP/DOWN/MIXED).
SELL System: Distinguishes SELL-ALERT (exhaustion) vs full SELL-REVERSAL (multi-condition bear flip).
Divergence & Volume: RSI-based bear/bull div on swing highs/lows; surge detection (>2x vol MA or 80th percentile).
Final Signal: Combines raw scores with filters (no DEEP PB for BUY, 2H tiebreaker); RISK flags conflicts like div or trend mismatches.
HUD Display & Usage
Renders a bottom-right table with metric, status (color-coded), and Chinese explanations. Stars rate scores (★★★★★=90+). Ideal for high-frequency SIL traders monitoring multi-timeframe confluence on 5m charts.
Moving Average Channel Breakout (No Repaint) This indicator creates a channel using two simple moving averages: SMA of highs (upper line) and SMA of lows (lower line).
How it works:
- When a candle closes above the upper channel line, the following candles turn green (bullish trend)
- When a candle closes below the lower channel line, the following candles turn red (bearish trend)
- The trend color remains until a breakout in the opposite direction occurs
Anti-repaint:
This indicator does NOT repaint. The candle color is determined at the open, based on the previous candle's close. Once a candle opens with a color, that color never changes.
Breakout strategy:
- Candle opens green → Long entry signal
- Candle opens red → Short entry signal
The signal and entry moment are perfectly synchronized at the candle open, making it ideal for systematic breakout strategies.
P_NQ Futures Daily Bias & Structure ProOverview The Master Sniper is a professional-grade execution system designed for high-volatility assets like NQ (Nasdaq 100) and ES (S&P 500). Unlike standard indicators that generate blind signals, this script uses a Multi-Timeframe Logic Engine to first establish a daily bias and then hunt for specific intraday triggers.
It features a Hybrid Strategy that can automatically switch between Trend Following (Smart Money Concepts) and Mean Reversion (Gap Fades), giving you a complete toolkit for any market condition.
Key Features
1. Macro Bias Engine (The Filter) Before generating any signal, the script analyzes the Daily Chart in the background:
Structure: Checks for Higher Highs/Lows vs. Lower Highs/Lows.
Momentum: Uses RSI and the 200 EMA to ensure you aren't buying the top or selling the bottom.
Result: It generates a directional bias (Bullish/Bearish) that filters out low-probability trades.
2. Hybrid Entry Logic
Trend Mode (SMC): Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within "Discount" or "Premium" zones. It only triggers if the price pulls back into a value area aligned with the Daily Bias.
Reversal Mode (Elasticity): Detects when price is over-extended (2.0 Standard Deviations from VWAP) or when a "Liquidity Sweep" occurs, signaling a snap-back trade.
Gap Rejection (Morning Fade): A dedicated engine that monitors the Opening Gap. If the market gaps significantly but fails to hold, it triggers a "Fade" trade to target the gap fill.
3. Professional Trade Management Visualizes your trade plan instantly on the chart:
Split Targets: Draws targets for Contract 1 (Scalp) and Contract 2 (Runner).
Auto-Break Even: The moment TP1 is hit, the Stop Loss line visually moves to your Entry Price, signaling a "Risk-Free" trade.
Infinite Target Lines: Extends target lines to the right until the trade concludes, keeping your chart clean.
4. Risk Filters
Range Filter: Prevents buying in the Top 1/3 or selling in the Bottom 1/3 of the daily range.
Proximity Filter: Blocks trades that are squeezing too tight against the 100-candle High/Low.
How to Use
Timeframe: Optimized for the 5-Minute (5m) chart on Futures (NQ/ES) or Tech Stocks.
Dashboard: Check the bottom-right panel. Ensure "Status" says "SCANNING" and Filters show "Active."
Execution: Wait for the alert (e.g., "🟢 ENTER LONG"). Place your orders at the Blue Line with SL at the Red Line.
Top 20 Adaptive Momentum [Trend Aligned]his script is an automated End-of-Day Momentum Dashboard designed to predict the next trading day's directional bias for the top 20 most volatile stocks. It analyzes institutional price action during the final 10 minutes of the trading session and filters signals based on the long-term trend.
How It Works
Trend Identification: The script calculates a 50-Day Moving Average proxy (using 5-minute data) to determine if a stock is in a Long-Term Uptrend or Downtrend.
Adaptive Signal Logic: Instead of a simple reversal strategy, the script adapts its prediction based on the trend context:
Trend Following: If a stock closes strong (Green) in an Uptrend, it signals Bullish Momentum (continuation).
Mean Reversion: If a stock closes strong (Green) in a Downtrend, it signals Bearish Reversion (fade the bounce).
Dip Buying: If a stock closes weak (Red) in an Uptrend, it signals Bullish Reversion (buy the dip).
Live Backtesting: The dashboard features a "Win Rate (3M)" column. This metric backtests the strategy over the past 3 months for each specific ticker, calculating the percentage of time the predicted bias resulted in a winning trade the following day.
Dashboard Columns
Ticker: The stock symbol.
Prev Day: The overall close vs. open of the previous session.
Trend (50d): The long-term trend direction (UP or DOWN).
BIAS TODAY: The actionable signal for the current session (📈 BULLISH or 📉 BEARISH).
Win Rate: The historical probability of success for this strategy on this specific stock.
Usage: Use this tool pre-market to identify high-probability setups where the previous day's closing momentum aligns with the long-term trend.
To effectively use the Top 20 Adaptive Momentum script, you need to treat it as a Pre-Market Screener. It performs the heavy lifting of analyzing trend, momentum, and historical probability instantly, giving you a "Cheat Sheet" for the trading day.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to integrate it into your routine:
1. The Setup
Timeframe: Set your chart to 5 Minutes. The logic specifically hunts for the 15:50 (3:50 PM) and 15:55 (3:55 PM) candles, so the calculation works best on this timeframe.
Timing: Check this dashboard before the market opens (e.g., 9:00 AM EST) or shortly after the close (4:05 PM EST) to plan for the next session.
2. Reading the Dashboard Columns
Column What to Look For Actionable Insight
Trend (50d) UP (Green) or DOWN (Red) This tells you the "Big Picture." Only trade in this direction. If Trend is UP, you only want to see Bullish signals. If Trend is DOWN, you only want Bearish signals.
BIAS TODAY 📈 BULLISH Plan: Look for Long/Buy setups at the open. The algorithm predicts price will close higher today.
📉 BEARISH Plan: Look for Short/Sell setups at the open. The algorithm predicts price will close lower.
Win Rate (3M) Percentage (e.g., 65%) Confidence Filter. Only take trades on stocks with a Win Rate above 55-60%. This proves the stock historically respects this specific strategy.
3. The Strategy Scenarios (How to Trade)
Scenario A: The "Trend Continuation" (High Probability)
Dashboard: Trend is UP + Bias is BULLISH.
Context: The stock is strong long-term, and it closed strong yesterday (Momentum).
Execution: Watch for an opening gap up or an early breakout above the pre-market high. Go Long.
Scenario B: The "Dip Buy" (High Probability)
Dashboard: Trend is UP + Bias is BULLISH.
Context: The stock is strong long-term, but it pulled back yesterday (Weak Close). The script identifies this as a discount, not a reversal.
Execution: Watch for the stock to find support early. Use the "Master Sniper" (from your other script) to find a Discount Entry FVG.
Scenario C: The "Trap" (Avoid)
Dashboard: Win Rate is < 50%.
Context: The stock is choppy or news-driven. It does not follow technical momentum rules reliably.
Execution: Skip this stock. Move to the next one on the list.
4. Execution Workflow
Scan: Glance at the dashboard. Identify the 2-3 stocks with Green Bias + Green Trend (for Buys) or Red Bias + Red Trend (for Shorts).
Filter: Ensure their "Win Rate" is decent (over 55%).
Trade: Open the charts for those specific stocks. Use your execution indicators (like the Master Sniper) to time the entry on the 1-minute or 5-minute chart.
By using this dashboard, you stop guessing which stock to trade and focus entirely on executing the best setups.
