Depth of Market (DOM) [LuxAlgo]The Depth Of Market (DOM) tool allows traders to look under the hood of any market, taking price and volume analysis to the next level. The following features are included: DOM, Time & Sales, Volume Profile, Depth of Market, Imbalances, Buying Pressure, and up to 24 key intraday levels (it really packs a punch).
As a disclaimer, this tool does not use tick data, it is a DOM reconstruction from the provided real-time time series data (price and volume). So the volume you see is from filled orders only, this tool does not show unfilled limit orders.
Traders can enable or disable any of the features at will to avoid being overwhelmed with too much information and to make the tool perform faster.
The features that have the biggest impact on performance are Historical Data Collection, Key Levels (POC & VWAP), Time & Sales, Profile, and Imbalances. Disable these features to improve the indicator computational performance.
🔶 DOM
This is the simplest form of the tool, a simple DOM or ladder that displays the following columns:
PRICE: Price level
BID: Total number of market sell orders filled or limit buy orders filled.
SELL: Sell market orders
BUY: Buy market orders
ASK: Total number of market buy orders filled or limit sell orders filled.
The DOM only collects historical data from the last 24 hours and real-time data.
Traders can select a reset period for the DOM with two options:
DAILY: Resets at the beginning of each trading day
SESSIONS: Resets twice, as DAILY and 15.5 hours later, to coincide with the start of the RTH session for US tickers.
The DOM has two main modes, it can display price levels as ticks or points. The default is automatic based on the current daily volatility, but traders can manually force one mode or the other if they wish.
For convenience, traders have the option to set the number of lines (price levels), and the size of the text and to display only real-time data.
By default, the top price is set to 0 so that the DOM automatically adjusts the price levels to be displayed, but traders can set the top price manually so that the tool displays only the desired price levels in a fixed manner.
🔹 Volume Profile
As additional features to the basic DOM, traders have access to the volume profile histogram and the total volume per price level.
This helps traders identify at a glance key price areas where volume is accumulating (high volume nodes) or areas where volume is lacking (low volume nodes) - these areas are important to some traders who base their decision-making process on them.
🔹 Imbalances
Other added features are imbalances and buying pressure:
Interlevel Imbalance: volume delta between two different price levels
Intralevel Imbalance: delta between buy and sell volume at the same price level
Buying Pressure Percent: percentage of buy volume compared to total volume
Imbalances can help traders identify areas of interest in the price for possible support or resistance.
🔹 Depth
Depth allows traders to see at a glance how much supply is above the current price level or how much demand is below the current price level.
Above the current price level shows the cumulative ask volume (filled sell limit orders) and below the current price level shows the cumulative bid volume (filled buy limit orders).
🔶 KEY LEVELS
The tool includes up to 24 different key intraday levels of particular relevance:
Previous Week Levels
PWH: Previous week high
PWL: Previous week low
PWM: Previous week middle
PWS: Previous week settlement (close)
Previous Day Levels
PDH: Previous day high
PDL: Previous day low
PDM: Previous day middle
PDS: Previous day settlement (close)
Current Day Levels
OPEN: Open of day (or session)
HOD: High of day (or session)
LOD: Low of day (or session)
MOD: Middle of day (or session)
Opening Range
ORH: Open range high
ORL: Open range low
Initial Balance
IBH: Initial balance high
IBL: Initial balance low
VWAP
+3SD: Volume weighted average price plus 3 standard deviations
+2SD: Volume weighted average price plus 2 standard deviations
+1SD: Volume weighted average price plus 1 standard deviation
VWAP: Volume weighted average price
-1SD: Volume weighted average price minus 1 standard deviation
-2SD: Volume weighted average price minus 2 standard deviations
-3SD: Volume weighted average price minus 3 standard deviations
POC: Point of control
Different traders look at different levels, the key levels shown here are objective and specific areas of interest that traders can act on, providing us with potential areas of support or resistance in the price.
🔶 TIME & SALES
The tool also features a full-time and sales panel with time, price, and size columns, a size filter, and the ability to set the timezone to display time in the trader's local time.
The information shown here is what feeds the DOM and it can be useful in several ways, for example in detecting absorption. If a large number of orders are coming into the market but the price is barely moving, this indicates that there is enough liquidity at these levels to absorb all these orders, so if these orders stop coming into the market, the price may turn around.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Select the anchoring period to start data collection, DAILY will anchor at the start of the trading day, and SESSIONS will start as DAILY and 15.5 hours later (RTH for US tickers).
Mode: Select between AUTO and MANUAL modes for displaying TICKS or POINTS, in AUTO mode the tool will automatically select TICKS for tickers with a daily average volatility below 5000 ticks and POINTS for the rest of the tickers.
Rows: Select the number of price levels to display
Text Size: Select the text size

Disclaimer -Traders can use this script as a starting point for further customization or as a reference for developing their own trading strategies. It's important to note that past performance is not indicative of future results, and thorough testing and validation are recommended before deploying any trading strategy.
Swing IdentifierThe "Swing Identifier" is a custom Pine Script indicator designed for use in the TradingView platform. It serves to visually identify and mark swing highs and swing lows on a trading chart, which are key concepts in technical analysis. This script is comprehensive and customizable, making it a useful tool for traders looking to pinpoint potential trend reversals and support or resistance areas.
**Key Features of the 'Swing Identifier' Indicator:**
1. **Swing Range Input:**
- This input determines the number of bars to the left and right of the current bar that the script will examine to identify a swing high or low. A larger value will look for swings over a broader range, potentially identifying more significant swings but at the expense of sensitivity.
2. **Swing Strength Input:**
- The swing strength is set as a percentage and is used to filter out insignificant price movements. A swing high or low is only considered valid if the percentage change from the last swing is greater than this input value. This feature helps in avoiding false signals in sideways or less volatile markets.
3. **Use Wicks Option:**
- Users can choose whether to consider the wicks of the candles or just the closing prices in identifying swings. This feature adds flexibility, allowing the script to be tailored to different trading styles and strategies.
4. **Line Color Customization:**
- The color of the lines marking the swings can be customized, enhancing the visual appeal and readability of the chart.
**Operational Mechanics:**
1. **Identification of Swing Highs and Lows:**
- The script uses the `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow` functions to identify swing highs and lows. Whether it uses the high/low of the candles or their closing prices is determined by the user's choice in the "Use Wicks" option.
2. **Drawing and Updating Lines:**
- When a new swing high or low is identified, and it meets the percentage change criteria from the previous swing, a line is drawn from the last swing low to the current high (or vice versa). If a new swing high (or low) is identified that is higher (or lower) than the previous one, the old line is deleted, and a new line is drawn.
3. **Swing Update Logic:**
- The script maintains a toggle mechanism to look alternatively for highs and lows. This ensures that it sequentially identifies a high and then a low (or vice versa), which aligns with how actual market swings behave.
**Usage in Trading:**
1. **Identifying Trend Reversals:**
- By marking swing highs and lows, the script helps traders identify potential trend reversals. A break of a swing low in an uptrend or a swing high in a downtrend could signal a change in the prevailing trend.
2. **Support and Resistance:**
- Swing highs and lows often act as levels of support and resistance. Traders can use these levels for setting entry or exit points, stop losses, and take profit orders.
3. **Customization for Strategy:**
- The customizable nature of the script allows traders to adjust the parameters according to their trading strategy, time frame, and asset volatility.
In summary, the "Swing Identifier" is a versatile and customizable tool that aids in visually identifying crucial price swing points, thereby assisting traders in making informed decisions based on technical analysis principles.
Modified Box Plots
Box Plot Concept: The script creates a modified box plot where the central box represents the range within 1 standard deviation from the midpoint (hl2), which is the average of the high and low prices. The whiskers extend to cover a range of 3 standard deviations, providing a visualization of the overall price distribution.
Color Scheme: The color of the modified box plot is determined based on comparisons between the current midpoint (g) and the +/- 1 SD values of the previous candle (i and j ). If g > i , the color is green; if g < j , it's red; otherwise, it's yellow. This color scheme allows users to quickly assess the relationship between the current market conditions and recent price movements. if the mid point price is above/below +/- 1 SD values of the previous candle the price movement is considered as significant.
Plotcandle Function: The plotcandle function is employed to visualize the modified box plot. The color of the box is dynamically determined by the candleColor variable, which reflects the current market state based on the color scheme. The wicks, represented by lines extending from the box, are colored in white.
Explanation of Box and Wicks:
Box (Open and Close): In this modified box plot, the box does not represent traditional open and close prices. Instead, it signifies a range within 1 standard deviation of the midpoint (hl2), providing insight into the typical price variation around the average of the high and low.
Wicks (High and Low): The wicks extend from the box to cover a range of 3 standard deviations from the midpoint (hl2). They do not correspond to the actual high and low prices but serve as a visualization of potential outliers in the price distribution. The actual high and low prices are also plotted as green and red dots when the actual high and low prices fall outside the +/- 3SD wicks (whiskers) and also indicate the prices does not fit the distribution based on the recent price volatility.
In summary, this modified box plot offers a unique perspective on price distribution by considering standard deviations from the midpoint. The color scheme aids in quickly assessing market conditions, and the wicks provide insights into the potential presence of outliers. It's essential to understand that the box and wicks do not represent traditional open, close, high, and low prices but offer a different way to visualize and interpret intraday price movements.
Step by step explanation
Here's the step-by-step explanation:
a = ta.highest(high, 7): Calculates the highest high in the last 7 bars.
b = ta.lowest(low, 7): Calculates the lowest low in the last 7 bars.
c = ta.stdev(hl2, 7): Calculates the standard deviation of the average of high and low prices (hl2) over the last 7 bars.
d = (a - b) / c: Computes a scaling factor d based on the highest, lowest, and standard deviation. This factor is used to scale the intraday range in the next steps.
e = (high - low): Calculates the intraday range of the candle.
f = e / d: Estimates the standard deviation (f) of the intraday candle price using the scaling factor d.
g = hl2: Defines the intraday midpoint of the candle, which is the average of high and low prices.
i = g + 1 * f, j = g - 1 * f, k = g + 3 * f, l = g - 3 * f: Calculate values representing coverage of +1 SD, -1 SD, +3 SD, and -3 SD from the intraday midpoint.
The script utilizes historical high, low, and standard deviation values to dynamically estimate the standard deviation of the intraday candle, providing a measure of volatility for the current price range. This estimation is then used to construct a modified box plot around the intraday midpoint.
In addition I have included a 7 period hull moving average just to see the overall trend direction.
Conclusion:
The "Nasan Modified Box Plots" indicator on TradingView is a dynamic visualization tool that provides insights into the distribution of price ranges over a specified period. It adapts to changing market conditions by incorporating historical data in the calculation of a scaling factor (d). The indicator constructs a modified box plot, where the size of the box and the whiskers is determined by recent volatility
NSDT Lattice WebThis script creates a "web" by connecting different points of candles. All configurable by the trader.
There are 4 basic parts to a candle:
Open, High, Low, and Close
With this script, you can connect any point of one candle in the past to any point of another current candle.
For example:
High to High, High to Low, High to Open, High to close
Low to High, Low to Low, Low to Open, Low to Close
Open to High, Open to Low, Open to Open, Open to Close
Close to High, Close to Low, Close to Open, Close to Close
The script will change the line colors based on whether the current plot is higher or lower than the previous plot.
Try out different connection points to see what works for you. Connecting High to High and Low to Low, might easily show you when the market is making higher highs or lower lows, indicating a potential movement.
Run it on replay at a higher speed and see how it may potentially help identify area of congestion or trends.
Bar metrics / quantifytools— Overview
Rather than eyeball evaluating bullishness/bearishness in any given bar, bar metrics allow a quantified approach using three basic fundamental data points: relative close, relative volatility and relative volume. These data points are visualized in a discreet data dashboard form, next to all real-time bars. Each value also has a dot in front, representing color coded extremes in the values.
Relative close represents position of bar's close relative to high and low, high of bar being 100% and low of bar being 0%. Relative close indicates strength of bulls/bears in a given bar, the higher the better for bulls, the lower the better for bears. Relative volatility (bar range, high - low) and relative volume are presented in a form of a multiplier, relative to their respective moving averages (SMA 20). A value of 1x indicates volume/volatility being on par with moving average, 2x indicates volume/volatility being twice as much as moving average and so on. Relative volume and volatility can be used for measuring general market participant interest, the "weight of the bar" as it were.
— Features
Users can gauge past bar metrics using lookback via input menu. Past bars, especially recent ones, are helpful for giving context for current bar metrics. Lookback bars are highlighted on the chart using a yellow box and metrics presented on the data dashboard with lookback symbols:
To inspect bar metric data and its implications, users can highlight bars with specified bracket values for each metric:
When bar highlighter is toggled on and desired bar metric values set, alert for the specified combination can be toggled on via alert menu. Note that bar highlighter must be enabled in order for alerts to function.
— Visuals
Bar metric dots are gradient colored the following way:
Relative volatility & volume
0x -> 1x / Neutral (white) -> Light (yellow)
1x -> 1.7x / Light (yellow) -> Medium (orange)
1.7x -> 2.4x / Medium (orange) -> Heavy (red)
Relative close
0% -> 25% / Heavy bearish (red) -> Light bearish (dark red)
25% -> 45% / Light bearish (dark red) -> Neutral (white)
45% - 55% / Neutral (white)
55% -> 75% / Neutral (white) -> Light bullish (dark green)
75% -> 100% / Light bullish (dark green) -> Heavy bullish (green)
All colors can be adjusted via input menu. Label size, label distance from bar (offset) and text format (regular/stealth) can be adjusted via input menu as well:
— Practical guide
As interpretation of bar metrics is highly contextual, it is especially important to use other means in conjunction with the metrics. Levels, oscillators, moving averages, whatever you have found useful for your process. In short, relative close indicates directional bias and relative volume/volatility indicates "weight" of directional bias.
General interpretation
High relative close, low relative volume/volatility = mildly bullish, bias up/consolidation
High relative close, medium relative volume/volatility = bullish, bias up
High relative close, high relative volume/volatility = exuberantly bullish, bias up/down depending on context
Medium relative close, low relative volume/volatility = noise, no bias
Medium relative close, medium to high relative volume/volatility = indecision, further evidence needed to evaluate bias
Low relative close, low relative volume/volatility = mildly bearish, bias down/consolidation
Low relative close, medium relative volume/volatility = bearish, bias down
Low relative close, high relative volume/volatility = exuberantly bearish, bias down/up depending on context
Nuances & considerations
As to relative close, it's important to note that each bar is a trading range when viewed on a lower timeframe, ES 1W vs. ES 4H:
When relative close is high, bulls were able to push price to range high by the time of close. When relative close is low, bears were able to push price to range low by the time of close. In other words, bulls/bears were able to gain the upper hand over a given trading range, hinting strength for the side that made the final push. When relative close is around middle range (40-60%), it can be said neither side is clearly dominating the range, hinting neutral/indecision bias from a relative close perspective.
As to relative volume/volatility, low values (less than ~0.7x) imply bar has low market participant interest and therefore is likely insignificant, as it is "lacking weight". Values close to or above 1x imply meaningful market participant interest, whereas values well above 1x (greater than ~1.3x) imply exuberance. This exuberance can manifest as initiation (beginning of a trend) or as exhaustion (end of a trend):

coates moving averages (cma)This indicator uses three moving averages:
2 period low simple ma
2 period high simple ma
9 period least squares ma
The trend is determined by the angle of the moving averages, current close relative the the 9 least squares ma (lsm) and the current close relative to the prior two periods high and low.
When there are consecutive closes inside the prior two candles high and low then a range is signaled:
In ranges the buy zone is between the lowest low and the lowest close of the current range. The sell zone is between the highest high and the highest close. The zones are adjusted as long as the new close is within the prior two candles range:
When price closes above the 2 high ma and the 9 lsm then a bull trend is signaled if all moving averages are angled upward (as seen at #4 in the chart above and #1 the chart below ). If the 9 lsm and / or the 2 low ma continue to angle downward, following a close above the 2 high ma and 9 lsm, then a prolonged range or reversal is expected (#2 in the chart below):
During a bull trend the buy zone is between the 2 low ma and the 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 high ma:
During dip buying opportunities price should resist closing below the 9 lsm. If there is one close below the 9 lsm then it is a canary in the coalmine that tells us to proceed with caution. This will often signal a range, based on the conditions outlined above. To avoid a prolonged range, or reversal, price needs to immediately react in the direction of the prevailing trend:
If the moving averages are angled down and the most recent close is below the 2 low ma and 9 lsm then trend is fully bearish:
During a bear trend the short zone is between the 2 high ma and 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 low ma:
When the 2 high ma angles down and the 2 low ma angles up while price closes inside both mas then it indicates a cma squeeze:
Volatility is expected in the direction of the breakout following the squeeze. In this situation traps / shakeouts are common. If there is a wick outside the cma, with a close inside, then it indicates a trap / shakeout. If there is a close outside the 2 high / low ma then it signals a breakout.
A trend is considered balanced when the 9 lsm is roughly equidistant from the 2 low and 2 high mas. If the 9 lsm crosses the 2 high or 2 low ma then it signals exhaustion / imbalance.
For a stop loss I use the prior three periods low, for bull trends, and the prior three periods high for bear trends. I would expect other reliable stops, such as the parabolic sar or bill williams fractal, to be effective as well. The default moving averages should be very effective on all timeframes and assets classes, however this indicator was developed for bitcoin with a focus on higher timeframes such as the 4h, daily and weekly.
As with any other technical indicator there will be bad signals. Proceed with caution and never risk more than you are willing to lose.
ICT Fair Value Gap Detector [Eˣ]⚡ Fair Value Gap Detector
Overview
The Fair Value Gap Detector automatically identifies price imbalances on your charts - the inefficiencies left behind when price moves too quickly. This indicator reveals where price is likely to return for "rebalancing", based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts of market efficiency.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Detects Fair Value Gaps:
• 🟢 Bullish FVG - Gap left below during aggressive upward move
• 🔴 Bearish FVG - Gap left above during aggressive downward move
• Automatically identifies 3-candle price inefficiencies
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
Smart Fill Tracking:
• Full Fill - Price completely fills the gap
• 50% Fill - Price fills half the gap (critical level)
• Partial Fill - Price touches gap edge
• Real-time fill percentage tracking
• Auto-removes filled gaps (optional)
Professional Features:
• Active Gap Highlighting - Shows nearest unfilled gap
• Distance Calculator - Displays how far price is from gaps
• Market Bias - Analysis based on gap balance
• Size Filtering - Minimum gap size to avoid noise
• Visual Clarity - Clean boxes with color-coding
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 Understanding Fair Value Gaps
What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalances or inefficiencies, are zones where price moved so quickly that normal trading didn't occur. They represent:
• Price Imbalance - One-sided aggressive buying or selling
• Unfair Pricing - Some participants didn't get to trade at these levels
• Market Inefficiency - Supply/demand equilibrium was disrupted
• Rebalancing Zones - Price often returns to "fill" these gaps
The ICT Concept:
Markets constantly seek equilibrium (fair value). When price moves too fast:
1. It leaves gaps where normal trading didn't happen
2. These gaps represent unfair/inefficient pricing
3. Market has a tendency to return and "rebalance"
4. Smart money knows this and trades the fills
Why FVGs Work:
• Unfilled Orders - Traders who missed the move have pending orders in the gap
• Algorithmic Trading - Algos programmed to exploit inefficiencies
• Market Psychology - Traders notice gaps and place orders there
• Institutional Behavior - Smart money uses gaps for entries/exits
FVG vs Regular Gaps:
• Regular Gaps - Occur at market open, between daily closes
• Fair Value Gaps - Occur intraday, between 3 consecutive candles
• FVGs happen more frequently and on all timeframes
• FVGs are more tradeable for intraday/swing traders

Bullish FVG requires 3 candles:
1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the high reference)
2. Candle 2 - Strong bullish candle (aggressive buying)
3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle
The Gap: Candle 3's LOW is above Candle 1's HIGH = Gap left unfilled
Visual Example:
```
Candle 3: Low at $105 ──────────┐
│ ← GAP (Bullish FVG)
Candle 2: Strong bullish │
│
Candle 1: High at $100 ──────────┘
```
What It Means:
• Price jumped from $100 to $105+ so fast, no trading occurred in between
• This $100-$105 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there
• Market may return to this zone to "rebalance"
• When price returns, it often acts as support
Trading Bullish FVGs:
Strategy:
• Wait for price to retrace down into the bullish FVG (green box)
• Look for rejection/bounce from the gap zone
• Enter long when price respects the FVG as support
• Stop loss: Below the FVG
• Target: Previous high or opposite FVG
Best Entry Points:
• 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability)
• Full Fill: Price touches bottom of gap (aggressive entry)
• Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal)
Example Trade:
• Bullish FVG forms: $50,000 - $50,500 (500 point gap)
• Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces
• Price drops to $50,250 (50% of gap filled)
• Bullish reversal candle appears
• Enter long at $50,500, stop at $49,800
• Target: $52,000+

🔴 Bearish Fair Value Gaps Explained
How They Form:
Bearish FVG requires 3 candles:
1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the low reference)
2. Candle 2 - Strong bearish candle (aggressive selling)
3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle
The Gap: Candle 3's HIGH is below Candle 1's LOW = Gap left unfilled
Visual Example:
```
Candle 1: Low at $100 ───────────┐
│ ← GAP (Bearish FVG)
Candle 2: Strong bearish │
│
Candle 3: High at $95 ───────────┘
```
What It Means:
• Price dropped from $100 to $95 so fast, no trading occurred in between
• This $95-$100 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there
• Market may return to this zone to "rebalance"
• When price returns, it often acts as resistance
Trading Bearish FVGs:
Strategy:
• Wait for price to retrace up into the bearish FVG (red box)
• Look for rejection/reversal from the gap zone
• Enter short when price respects the FVG as resistance
• Stop loss: Above the FVG
• Target: Previous low or opposite FVG
Best Entry Points:
• 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability)
• Full Fill: Price touches top of gap (aggressive entry)
• Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal)
Example Trade:
• Bearish FVG forms: $48,000 - $48,500 (500 point gap)
• Price drops to $46,000 then retraces
• Price rallies to $48,250 (50% of gap filled)
• Bearish reversal candle appears
• Enter short at $48,000, stop at $48,700
• Target: $46,000-

💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for 50% fill - Middle of gap has highest win rate (65-70%)
• Use confirmation - Don't trade just because price touched gap
• Combine with structure - FVG + support/resistance = high probability
• Trade first fill - Unfilled gaps have better success rate than refilled
• Respect full fills - Once fully filled, gap is less reliable
• Use multiple timeframes - HTF FVGs are stronger than LTF
• Check session timing - FVGs work best during London/NY sessions
• Follow the bias - More bullish FVGs = favor longs
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't blindly fade gaps - Wait for price action confirmation
• Don't ignore momentum - Strong trends can blow through FVGs
• Don't trade every gap - Quality over quantity
• Don't assume all gaps fill - About 70-80% fill, 20-30% don't
• Don't use tight stops - Allow room for wick into gap
• Don't overtrade - Wait for confluence and confirmation
• Don't fight trends - Best FVG trades are with higher TF trend
• Don't ignore fill percentage - 50% is often the sweet spot
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalpers: 1min, 5min (many gaps, quick fills)
• Day Traders: 5min, 15min, 1H (balanced)
• Swing Traders: 1H, 4H, Daily (larger, more reliable gaps)
• Position Traders: 4H, Daily, Weekly (major imbalances)
🔥 Best Instruments:
• Excellent: BTC, ETH, ES, NQ, Forex majors (clean price action)
• Good: Gold, Oil, Major indices, Large-cap stocks
• Moderate: Altcoins, small-cap stocks (more noise)
• Best Markets: Trending markets with clear swings
⏰ Best Times for FVG Trading:
• London Session: High volume = reliable gap fills
• NY Session: Strong moves create quality gaps
• London-NY Overlap: Best time for gap creation and fills
• Asian Session: Lower probability, wait for London
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Advanced FVG Concepts
FVG Mitigation Levels
Understanding fill percentages:
• 0-25% Fill: Gap barely touched, often continues without fill
• 25-50% Fill: Partial rebalancing, may reverse here
• 50% Fill: CRITICAL LEVEL - Highest probability reversal zone
• 50-75% Fill: Deep rebalancing, strong reversal likely
• 75-100% Fill: Full rebalancing, gap's purpose fulfilled
Why 50% Matters: Market seeks equilibrium, and 50% represents perfect balance
FVG Inversions
When price breaks through a gap completely:
• Bullish FVG that's broken becomes bearish (support → resistance)
• Bearish FVG that's broken becomes bullish (resistance → support)
• Inverted gaps are weaker than fresh gaps
• Trading: Can fade the inverted gap but with caution
FVG Confluence Zones
Multiple FVGs at similar level:
• Creates "super gap" or confluence zone
• Much higher probability of reaction
• Wider zone for entries (more room for stops)
• Often aligns with other institutional concepts
FVG + Order Block Combo
When FVG overlaps with Order Block:
• Double institutional concept
• Extremely high probability setup (75-85% win rate)
• Price drawn to fill gap AND test order block
• Use tight stops, generous targets (3-5R possible)
Nested FVGs (Multi-Timeframe)
Small FVG inside larger FVG:
• Daily FVG contains 4H FVG contains 1H FVG
• Trade the smallest FVG in direction of larger ones
• Highest probability when all aligned
• Progressive targets: Fill small → medium → large gaps
FVG Exhaustion
When price creates multiple FVGs in same direction:
• Indicates strong momentum/impulsive move
• Each gap represents acceleration
• Last gap often signals exhaustion
• Watch for reversal after filling final gap
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Common FVG Patterns
Pattern 1: The Perfect Rebalance
• FVG forms during strong move
• Price continues 100+ pips
• Clean return to 50% of gap
• Immediate reversal
• Textbook setup, 70%+ win rate
Pattern 2: The Double Fill
• Price partially fills gap (25%)
• Weak reaction, continues
• Returns again for deeper fill (75%)
• Strong reversal on second fill
• Second fill often better entry
Pattern 3: The Blow-Through
• Price approaches gap
• Completely ignores it, no reaction
• Keeps going in same direction
• Sign of very strong momentum
Pattern 4: The Magnet Effect
• Price slowly grinds toward gap
• Accelerates as it gets close
• Quickly fills and reverses
• Common in ranging markets
Pattern 5: The False Fill
• Price wicks into gap briefly
• Immediately reverses without filling
• "Stop hunt" or liquidity grab
• Gap remains unfilled
• Often precedes strong move

Cold Brew Ranges🧭 Core Logic and Calculation
The fundamental logic for each range (OR and CR) is identical:
Time Definition: Each range is defined by a specific Start Time and a fixed 30-second duration. The timestamp function, using the "America/New_York" time zone, is used to calculate the exact start time in Unix milliseconds for the current day.
Example: t0200 = timestamp(TZ, yC, mC, dC, 2, 0, 0) sets the start time for the 02:00 OR to 2:00:00 AM NY time.
Range Data Collection: The indicator uses the request.security_lower_tf() function to collect the High (hArr) and Low (lArr) prices of all bars that fall within the defined 30-second window, using a user-specified, sub-chart-timeframe (openrangetime, defaulted to "1" second, "30S", or "5" minutes). This ensures high precision in capturing the exact high and low during the 30-second window.
High/Low Determination: It iteratively finds the absolute highest price (OR_high) and the absolute lowest price (OR_low) recorded by the bars during that 30-second window.
Range Locking: Once the current chart bar's time (lastTs) passes the 30-second End Time (tEnd), the High and Low are locked (OR_locked = true), meaning the range calculation is complete for the day.
Drawing: Upon locking, the range is drawn on the chart using line.new for the High, Low, and Equilibrium, and box.new for the shaded fill. The lines are extended to a subsequent time anchor point (e.g., the 02:00 OR is extended to 08:20, the 09:30 OR is extended to 16:00).
Equilibrium (EQ): This is calculated as the simple average (midpoint) of the High and Low of the range.
EQ=
2
OR_High+OR_Low
⏰ Defined Trading Ranges
The indicator defines and tracks the following specific 30-second ranges:
Range Name Type Start Time (NY) Line Extension End Time (NY) Common Market Context
02:00 OR Opening 02:00:00 08:20:00 Asian/European Market Overlap
08:20 OR Opening 08:20:00 16:00:00 Pre-New York Open
09:30 OR Opening 09:30:00 16:00:00 New York Stock Exchange Open (Most significant OR)
18:00 OR Opening 18:00:00 20:00:00 Futures Market Open (Sunday/Monday)
20:00 OR Opening 20:00:00 Next Day's session start Asian Session Start
15:50 CR Closing 15:50:00 20:00:00 New York Close Range
⚙️ Key User Inputs and Customization
The script offers extensive control over which ranges are displayed and how they are visualized:
Range Time & History
openrangetime: Sets the sub-timeframe (e.g., "1" for 1 second) used to calculate the precise High/Low of the 30-second range. Crucial for accuracy.
showHistory: A toggle to show the ranges from previous days (up to a histCap of 50 days).
Range Toggles and Styling
On/Off Toggles: Independent input.bool (e.g., OR_0200_on) to enable or disable the display of each individual range.
Colors & Width: Separate color and width inputs for the High/Low lines (hlC), the Equilibrium line (eqC), and the background fill (fillC) for each range.
Line Styles: Global inputs for the line styles of High/Low (lineStyleInput) and Equilibrium (eqLineStyleInput) lines (Solid, Dotted, or Dashed).
showFill: Global toggle to enable the shaded background box that highlights the area between the High and Low.
Extensions
The script calculates and plots extensions (multiples of the initial range) above the High and below the Low.
showExt: Toggles the visibility of the extension lines.
useRangeMultiples: If true, the step size for each extension level is equal to the initial range size:
Step=Range=OR_High−OR_Low
If false, the step size is a fixed value defined by stepPts (e.g., 60.0 points, which is a common value for NQ futures).
stepCnt: Determines how many extension levels (multiples) are drawn above and below the range (default is 10).
📈 Trading Strategy Implications
The Cold Brew Ranges indicator is a tool for session-based support and resistance and range breakout/reversal strategies.
Key Support/Resistance: The High and Low of these defined opening ranges often act as strong, predefined price levels. Traders look for price rejection off these boundaries or a breakout with conviction.
Equilibrium (Midpoint): The EQ often represents a fair value for that specific session's opening. Movements away from it are seen as opportunities, and a return to it is common.
Extensions: The range extensions serve as potential profit targets or stronger, layered support/resistance levels if the market trends aggressively after the opening range is set.
The core idea is that the activity in the first 30 seconds of a significant trading session (like the NYSE or a market session open) sets a bias and initial boundary for the trading period that follows.
Session Highs and Lows🔑 Key Levels: Session Liquidity & Structure Mapper
The Key Levels indicator is an essential tool for traders as it automatically plots and projects critical Highs and Lows established during key trading sessions. These levels represent major liquidity pools and define the current market structure, serving as high-probability targets, support, or resistance for the remainder of the trading day.
⚙️ Core Functionality
The indicator operates in two distinct modes, tailored for different asset classes:
1. Asset Class Mode (Toggle)
You can switch between two predefined setups depending on the asset you are trading:
Stock Mode (RTH/ETH): Designed for US stocks and futures (e.g., NQ, ES, YM). It tracks and projects levels for Regular Trading Hours (RTH) (09:30-16:00) and Extended Hours (ETH) (16:00-09:30).
Forex/Default Mode (Asia/London/NY): Designed for global markets (e.g., currency pairs). It tracks and projects levels for the three major liquidity sessions: Asia (19:00-03:00), London (03:00-09:30), and New York (09:30-16:00).
🗺️ Key Levels Mapped
The script continuously tracks and plots the most significant structural levels:
Current Session High/Low: The running high and low of the currently active session.
Previous Session High/Low: The confirmed high and low from the most recently completed session. These are often targeted by market makers.
Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL): The high and low of the prior 24-hour day, acting as major structural boundaries and a crucial macro market filter.
🎛️ Advanced Liquidity Management
The indicator is built with specific controls for high-level liquidity analysis:
Extend Through Sweeps (Critical Setting):
OFF (Recommended): The projected line is automatically stopped or deleted the moment the price candle wicks or closes past it. This visually confirms that the liquidity at that level has been "swept" or "mitigated."
ON: The line extends indefinitely, treating the level as simple support/resistance, regardless of interaction.
Previous vs. Current View: You can select a checkbox (e.g., Use PREVIOUS London Level) to hide the current session's running levels and only display the static, confirmed high/low from the prior completed session. This helps declutter the chart and focus only on the confirmed structural levels.
Show Older History: Toggle to keep lines from prior days visible, allowing you to track multi-day structural context.
🎯 Trading Application
The lines plotted by the Key Levels indicator provide immediate, actionable information:
Bias Filter: Use the PDH/PDL to determine the overall market context. Trading above the PDH suggests a bullish bias, while trading below the PDL suggests a bearish bias.
Manipulation/Entry: Wait for price to aggressively sweep a Previous Session High/Low (line stops extending). This often signals a liquidity grab or "manipulation" phase. Look for entries in the opposite direction for the main move (Distribution).
Targets: Key levels (especially unmitigated ones) serve as excellent, objective take-profit targets for active trades.
Volatility Risk PremiumTHE INSURANCE PREMIUM OF THE STOCK MARKET
Every day, millions of investors face a fundamental question that has puzzled economists for decades: how much should protection against market crashes cost? The answer lies in a phenomenon called the Volatility Risk Premium, and understanding it may fundamentally change how you interpret market conditions.
Think of the stock market like a neighborhood where homeowners buy insurance against fire. The insurance company charges premiums based on their estimates of fire risk. But here is the interesting part: insurance companies systematically charge more than the actual expected losses. This difference between what people pay and what actually happens is the insurance premium. The same principle operates in financial markets, but instead of fire insurance, investors buy protection against market volatility through options contracts.
The Volatility Risk Premium, or VRP, measures exactly this difference. It represents the gap between what the market expects volatility to be (implied volatility, as reflected in options prices) and what volatility actually turns out to be (realized volatility, calculated from actual price movements). This indicator quantifies that gap and transforms it into actionable intelligence.
THE FOUNDATION
The academic study of volatility risk premiums began gaining serious traction in the early 2000s, though the phenomenon itself had been observed by practitioners for much longer. Three research papers form the backbone of this indicator's methodology.
Peter Carr and Liuren Wu published their seminal work "Variance Risk Premiums" in the Review of Financial Studies in 2009. Their research established that variance risk premiums exist across virtually all asset classes and persist over time. They documented that on average, implied volatility exceeds realized volatility by approximately three to four percentage points annualized. This is not a small number. It means that sellers of volatility insurance have historically collected a substantial premium for bearing this risk.
Tim Bollerslev, George Tauchen, and Hao Zhou extended this research in their 2009 paper "Expected Stock Returns and Variance Risk Premia," also published in the Review of Financial Studies. Their critical contribution was demonstrating that the VRP is a statistically significant predictor of future equity returns. When the VRP is high, meaning investors are paying substantial premiums for protection, future stock returns tend to be positive. When the VRP collapses or turns negative, it often signals that realized volatility has spiked above expectations, typically during market stress periods.
Gurdip Bakshi and Nikunj Kapadia provided additional theoretical grounding in their 2003 paper "Delta-Hedged Gains and the Negative Market Volatility Risk Premium." They demonstrated through careful empirical analysis why volatility sellers are compensated: the risk is not diversifiable and tends to materialize precisely when investors can least afford losses.
HOW THE INDICATOR CALCULATES VOLATILITY
The calculation begins with two separate measurements that must be compared: implied volatility and realized volatility.
For implied volatility, the indicator uses the CBOE Volatility Index, commonly known as the VIX. The VIX represents the market's expectation of 30-day forward volatility on the S&P 500, calculated from a weighted average of out-of-the-money put and call options. It is often called the "fear gauge" because it rises when investors rush to buy protective options.
Realized volatility requires more careful consideration. The indicator offers three distinct calculation methods, each with specific advantages rooted in academic literature.
The Close-to-Close method is the most straightforward approach. It calculates the standard deviation of logarithmic daily returns over a specified lookback period, then annualizes this figure by multiplying by the square root of 252, the approximate number of trading days in a year. This method is intuitive and widely used, but it only captures information from closing prices and ignores intraday price movements.
The Parkinson estimator, developed by Michael Parkinson in 1980, improves efficiency by incorporating high and low prices. The mathematical formula calculates variance as the sum of squared log ratios of daily highs to lows, divided by four times the natural logarithm of two, times the number of observations. This estimator is theoretically about five times more efficient than the close-to-close method because high and low prices contain additional information about the volatility process.
The Garman-Klass estimator, published by Mark Garman and Michael Klass in 1980, goes further by incorporating opening, high, low, and closing prices. The formula combines half the squared log ratio of high to low prices minus a factor involving the log ratio of close to open. This method achieves the minimum variance among estimators using only these four price points, making it particularly valuable for markets where intraday information is meaningful.
THE CORE VRP CALCULATION
Once both volatility measures are obtained, the VRP calculation is straightforward: subtract realized volatility from implied volatility. A positive result means the market is paying a premium for volatility insurance. A negative result means realized volatility has exceeded expectations, typically indicating market stress.
The raw VRP signal receives slight smoothing through an exponential moving average to reduce noise while preserving responsiveness. The default smoothing period of five days balances signal clarity against lag.
INTERPRETING THE REGIMES
The indicator classifies market conditions into five distinct regimes based on VRP levels.
The EXTREME regime occurs when VRP exceeds ten percentage points. This represents an unusual situation where the gap between implied and realized volatility is historically wide. Markets are pricing in significantly more fear than is materializing. Research suggests this often precedes positive equity returns as the premium normalizes.
The HIGH regime, between five and ten percentage points, indicates elevated risk aversion. Investors are paying above-average premiums for protection. This often occurs after market corrections when fear remains elevated but realized volatility has begun subsiding.
The NORMAL regime covers VRP between zero and five percentage points. This represents the long-term average state of markets where implied volatility modestly exceeds realized volatility. The insurance premium is being collected at typical rates.
The LOW regime, between negative two and zero percentage points, suggests either unusual complacency or that realized volatility is catching up to implied volatility. The premium is shrinking, which can precede either calm continuation or increased stress.
The NEGATIVE regime occurs when realized volatility exceeds implied volatility. This is relatively rare and typically indicates active market stress. Options were priced for less volatility than actually occurred, meaning volatility sellers are experiencing losses. Historically, deeply negative VRP readings have often coincided with market bottoms, though timing the reversal remains challenging.
TERM STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Beyond the basic VRP calculation, sophisticated market participants analyze how volatility behaves across different time horizons. The indicator calculates VRP using both short-term (default ten days) and long-term (default sixty days) realized volatility windows.
Under normal market conditions, short-term realized volatility tends to be lower than long-term realized volatility. This produces what traders call contango in the term structure, analogous to futures markets where later delivery dates trade at premiums. The RV Slope metric quantifies this relationship.
When markets enter stress periods, the term structure often inverts. Short-term realized volatility spikes above long-term realized volatility as markets experience immediate turmoil. This backwardation condition serves as an early warning signal that current volatility is elevated relative to historical norms.
The academic foundation for term structure analysis comes from Scott Mixon's 2007 paper "The Implied Volatility Term Structure" in the Journal of Derivatives, which documented the predictive power of term structure dynamics.
MEAN REVERSION CHARACTERISTICS
One of the most practically useful properties of the VRP is its tendency to mean-revert. Extreme readings, whether high or low, tend to normalize over time. This creates opportunities for systematic trading strategies.
The indicator tracks VRP in statistical terms by calculating its Z-score relative to the trailing one-year distribution. A Z-score above two indicates that current VRP is more than two standard deviations above its mean, a statistically unusual condition. Similarly, a Z-score below negative two indicates VRP is unusually low.
Mean reversion signals trigger when VRP reaches extreme Z-score levels and then shows initial signs of reversal. A buy signal occurs when VRP recovers from oversold conditions (Z-score below negative two and rising), suggesting that the period of elevated realized volatility may be ending. A sell signal occurs when VRP contracts from overbought conditions (Z-score above two and falling), suggesting the fear premium may be excessive and due for normalization.
These signals should not be interpreted as standalone trading recommendations. They indicate probabilistic conditions based on historical patterns. Market context and other factors always matter.
MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
The rate of change in VRP carries its own information content. Rapidly rising VRP suggests fear is building faster than volatility is materializing, often seen in the early stages of corrections before realized volatility catches up. Rapidly falling VRP indicates either calming conditions or rising realized volatility eating into the premium.
The indicator tracks VRP momentum as the difference between current VRP and VRP from a specified number of bars ago. Positive momentum with positive acceleration suggests strengthening risk aversion. Negative momentum with negative acceleration suggests intensifying stress or rapid normalization from elevated levels.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
For equity investors, the VRP provides context for risk management decisions. High VRP environments historically favor equity exposure because the market is pricing in more pessimism than typically materializes. Low or negative VRP environments suggest either reducing exposure or hedging, as markets may be underpricing risk.
For options traders, understanding VRP is fundamental to strategy selection. Strategies that sell volatility, such as covered calls, cash-secured puts, or iron condors, tend to profit when VRP is elevated and compress toward its mean. Strategies that buy volatility tend to profit when VRP is low and risk materializes.
For systematic traders, VRP provides a regime filter for other strategies. Momentum strategies may benefit from different parameters in high versus low VRP environments. Mean reversion strategies in VRP itself can form the basis of a complete trading system.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
No indicator provides perfect foresight, and the VRP is no exception. Several limitations deserve attention.
The VRP measures a relationship between two estimates, each subject to measurement error. The VIX represents expectations that may prove incorrect. Realized volatility calculations depend on the chosen method and lookback period.
Mean reversion tendencies hold over longer time horizons but provide limited guidance for short-term timing. VRP can remain extreme for extended periods, and mean reversion signals can generate losses if the extremity persists or intensifies.
The indicator is calibrated for equity markets, specifically the S&P 500. Application to other asset classes requires recalibration of thresholds and potentially different data sources.
Historical relationships between VRP and subsequent returns, while statistically robust, do not guarantee future performance. Structural changes in markets, options pricing, or investor behavior could alter these dynamics.
STATISTICAL OUTPUTS
The indicator presents comprehensive statistics including current VRP level, implied volatility from VIX, realized volatility from the selected method, current regime classification, number of bars in the current regime, percentile ranking over the lookback period, Z-score relative to recent history, mean VRP over the lookback period, realized volatility term structure slope, VRP momentum, mean reversion signal status, and overall market bias interpretation.
Color coding throughout the indicator provides immediate visual interpretation. Green tones indicate elevated VRP associated with fear and potential opportunity. Red tones indicate compressed or negative VRP associated with complacency or active stress. Neutral tones indicate normal market conditions.
ALERT CONDITIONS
The indicator provides alerts for regime transitions, extreme statistical readings, term structure inversions, mean reversion signals, and momentum shifts. These can be configured through the TradingView alert system for real-time monitoring across multiple timeframes.

Week high / Week low (Mo–Fr)The indicator tracks the weekly high and low levels of the market starting from Monday 00:00 and updates them throughout the week until Friday. It draws horizontal lines across the chart representing:
Weekly High
Weekly Low
Each level also displays a label that can be positioned in different ways depending on user settings.
🧠 How it works step-by-step
1. Every Monday a new week starts
When a new week begins:
The script stores the current candle’s high as the initial weekHigh
And the current candle’s low as weekLow
Previous week's lines and labels are deleted
New horizontal lines are created and extended to the right
Labels (for high & low) are placed initially at the start of the week
2. During Monday–Friday
On every candle:
If a new higher price is reached → weekly high updates
If a new lower price is reached → weekly low updates
The horizontal line moves to the new value
A saved index remembers where that high/low was created
3. Label Position Control
The user can choose how labels should be anchored:
Mode Meaning
Update point Label stays where the high/low occurred
Right edge Label always moves to the current bar (right end of week)
Right offset Like Right edge but shifted further right by X bars
You can also customize:
label background color
label text color
label size
whether the label points up/down (above or below the line)
line color, style, and width
4. Weekend behavior
On Saturday, the script stops extending the lines, effectively freezing the weekly high and low for that completed week.
Summary
This indicator is useful for traders who want automatic weekly levels, visually clean chart structure, and customizable label placement. It tracks market structure weekly, keeps levels persistent across the chart, and lets you choose exactly how those levels appear.
If you want, I can also create:
✔ previous week high/low
✔ midline (50% of the range)
✔ alerts when price breaks the weekly high/low
✔ highlight liquidity sweeps
EMA Market Structure [BOSWaves]EMA Market Structure - Trend-Driven Structural Mapping with Adaptive Swing Detection
Overview
The EMA Market Structure indicator provides an advanced framework for visualizing market structure through dynamically filtered trend and swing analysis.
Unlike conventional EMA overlays, which merely indicate average price direction, this model integrates trend acceleration, swing highs/lows, and break-of-structure (BOS) logic into a unified, visually intuitive display.
Each element adapts in real time to price movement, offering traders a living map of support, resistance, and trend bias that reacts fluidly to market momentum.
The result is a comprehensive, trend-aware representation of price structure.
EMA slope and acceleration guide trend perception, while swing points identify key inflection zones.
Breaks of prior highs or lows are highlighted with visual BOS labels and stop-loss projections, giving traders actionable context for continuation or reversal setups.
Unlike static lines or simple moving averages, the EMA Market Structure indicator fuses dynamic trend analysis with structural awareness to provide a clear picture of market bias and potential turning points.
Theoretical Foundation
The EMA Market Structure builds on principles of momentum filtering and structural analysis.
Standard moving averages track average price but ignore acceleration and context; this indicator captures both the directional slope of the EMA and its rate of change, providing a proxy for trend strength.
Simultaneously, swing detection identifies statistically significant highs and lows, while BOS logic flags decisive breaks in structure, aligned with trend direction.
At its core are three interacting components:
EMA Trend & Acceleration : Smooths price data while highlighting acceleration changes, producing gradient-driven color cues for trend momentum.
Swing Detection Engine : Identifies swing highs and lows over configurable bar lengths, ensuring key turning points are captured with minimal clutter.
Break-of-Structure Logic : Detects price breaches of previous swings and aligns them with EMA trend for actionable BOS signals, including projected stop-loss levels for tactical decision-making.
By integrating these elements, the system scales effectively across timeframes and assets, maintaining structural clarity while visualizing trend dynamics in real time. Traders receive both macro and micro perspectives of market movement, with clear cues for trend continuation or reversal.
How It Works
The EMA Market Structure indicator operates through layered processing stages:
EMA Slope & Acceleration : Calculates the EMA and its rate of change, normalizing via ATR and a smoothing function to produce gradient color coding. This allows instant visual identification of bullish or bearish momentum.
Swing Identification : Swing highs and lows are computed using configurable left/right bar lengths, filtered through a cool-off mechanism to prevent redundant signals and maintain chart clarity.
Structural Lines & Zones : Swing points are connected with lines, and shaded zones are drawn between successive highs/lows to highlight key support and resistance regions.
Break-of-Structure Detection : BOS events occur when price breaches a prior swing in alignment with the EMA trend. Bullish and bearish BOS signals include enhanced label effects and projected stop-loss lines and zones, providing immediate tactical reference.
Dynamic Background Mapping : The chart background adapts to EMA trend direction, reinforcing trend context with subtle visual cues.
Through these processes, the indicator creates a living, adaptive map of market structure that reflects both trend strength and swing-based inflection points.
Interpretation
The EMA Market Structure reframes market reading from simple trend following to structured awareness of price behavior:
Uptrend Phases : EMA is rising with positive acceleration, swings confirm higher lows, and BOS events occur above prior highs, signaling trend continuation.
Downtrend Phases : EMA slope is negative, swings form lower highs, and BOS events occur below prior lows, confirming bearish bias.
Trend Reversals : Flat or decelerating EMA with BOS failures may indicate impending structural change.
Critical Zones : Swing-based lines and shaded zones highlight areas where price may pause, reverse, or accelerate, providing high-probability decision points.
Visually, EMA color gradients, structural lines, and BOS labels combine to provide both statistical trend confirmation and actionable structural cues.
Strategy Integration
EMA Market Structure integrates seamlessly into trend-following and swing-based trading systems:
Trend Alignment : Confirm higher-timeframe EMA slope before entering continuation trades.
BOS Entry Triggers : Use BOS events aligned with EMA trend for tactical entries and stop placement.
Support/Resistance Mapping : Swing lines and zones help define areas for scaling, exits, or reversals.
Volatility Context : ATR-based smoothing and stop-loss buffers accommodate varying market volatility, ensuring robustness across conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Coordination : Combine higher-timeframe EMA trend and swings with lower-timeframe structural events for precision entries.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : EMA slope and ATR-normalized acceleration for gradient-driven trend visualization.
Swing Framework : Pivot-based high/low detection with configurable bar lengths and cool-off intervals.
Structural Visualization : Lines, zones, and labels for high-fidelity mapping of support/resistance and BOS events.
BOS Engine : Detects structural breaks aligned with EMA trend, automatically plotting stop-loss lines and visual cues.
Performance Profile : Lightweight, optimized for real-time responsiveness across multiple timeframes.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Ideal for intraday swing spotting and microstructure trend tracking.
15 - 60 min : Medium-range structural analysis and BOS-driven entries.
4H - Daily : Macro trend mapping and key swing-based support/resistance identification.
Suggested Configuration:
EMA Length : 50
Swing Length : 5
Swing Cooloff : 10 bars
BOS Cooloff : 15 bars
SL Buffer : 0.1%
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset volatility, liquidity, and preferred entry frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending markets with defined swings and structural consistency.
Markets where EMA slope and acceleration reliably indicate momentum changes.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Choppy or sideways markets with minimal swing definition.
Random walk assets lacking clear structural anchors.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Combine with volume, momentum, or BOSWaves structural indicators
to validate entries.
Directional Control: Follow EMA slope and BOS alignment for high-conviction trades.
Risk Calibration: Use SL projections for disciplined exposure management.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy: Confirm higher-timeframe trend before executing lower-timeframe structural trades.
Disclaimer
The EMA Market Structure is a professional-grade trend and structure visualization tool. It is not predictive or guaranteed profitable; performance depends on parameter tuning, market regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack integrating trend, liquidity, and structural context.
Auto 5-Wave Fixed Channel + Wave 5 Top / Wave 2-ABC BottomAuto 5-Wave Fixed Channel + Wave 5 Top / Wave 2-ABC Bottom
by Ron999
1. What this indicator does
This tool automatically hunts for bullish 5-wave impulse structures and then:
Labels the waves: W1, W2, W3, W4, W5
Draws a fixed “acceleration” channel based on the wave structure
Projects a Wave-5 target zone using a 1.618 extension
Marks the Wave-2 level as an ABC correction target
Triggers optional alerts when:
A new Wave-5 top completes
An ABC bottom forms back near the Wave-2 low
It’s designed as a mechanical, rule-based approximation of Elliott 5-wave impulses – built for traders who like the idea of wave structure but want something objective and programmable.
2. How the wave logic works
The script continuously scans for pivot highs and lows using a user-defined Pivot Length.
It only keeps the last 5 alternating pivots (high → low → high → low → high).
When those last 5 pivots form this pattern:
Pivot 1 → High (W1)
Pivot 2 → Low (W2)
Pivot 3 → High (W3)
Pivot 4 → Low (W4)
Pivot 5 → High (W5)
…the indicator treats this as a bullish 5-wave impulse.
When such a structure is detected, it “locks in” the wave prices and bars and draws the channels and labels.
Note: Pivots are only confirmed after Pivot Length bars, so swings are slightly delayed by design (standard pivot logic).
3. Channels & levels
Once a valid bullish 5-wave structure is found, the script builds three key pieces:
a) Base Acceleration Channel (Blue)
Anchored from Wave-2 low toward Wave-3 high.
This forms a rising acceleration channel that represents the impulse leg.
The channel extends to the right, so you can see how price interacts with it after W3–W5.
b) Wave-5 Target Line (Red, dashed)
Uses the height from Wave-2 low to Wave-3 high.
Projects a 1.618 extension of that height above Wave-3.
This line acts as a potential Wave-5 exhaustion zone (take-profit / reversal watch area).
c) Wave-2 / ABC Bottom Level (Green, dotted)
Horizontal line drawn at the Wave-2 low.
This acts as a retest / corrective target for the ABC correction after the impulse completes.
When price later revisits this area (within a tolerance), the script can mark it as a potential ABC bottom.
4. Labels & signals
If labels are enabled:
W1, W2, W3, W4, W5 are plotted directly on their corresponding pivot bars.
When an ABC-style retest is detected near the Wave-2 level, an “ABC” label is printed at that low.
Wave-5 Top Event
Triggered when a new valid bullish 5-wave structure is completed.
The last pivot high in the pattern is flagged as Wave-5.
ABC Bottom Event
After a Wave-5 impulse, the script watches for new low pivots.
If a new low forms within ABC Bottom Proximity (%) of the Wave-2 price, it is treated as an ABC bottom near Wave-2 and marked on the chart.
5. Inputs & customization
Show Fixed Channels
Toggle all channel drawing on/off.
Label Waves
Toggle plotting of W1–W5 and ABC labels.
Alerts: Wave-5 Top & ABC Bottom
Master switch for enabling the script’s alert conditions.
Pivot Length
Controls how “swingy” the detection is.
Smaller values → more frequent, smaller waves
Larger values → fewer, larger structural waves
ABC Bottom Proximity (%)
Allowed percentage distance between the ABC low and the Wave-2 price.
Example: 5% means any ABC low within ±5% of Wave-2 is considered valid.
6. Alerts (how to use them)
The script exposes two alertcondition() events:
Wave-5 Top (Bullish Impulse)
Fires when a new 5-wave bullish structure completes.
Use this to watch for potential exhaustion tops or to tighten stops.
ABC Bottom near Wave-2 Low
Fires when an ABC-style correction prints a low near the Wave-2 level.
Use this to stalk potential end-of-correction entries in the direction of the original impulse.
On TradingView, add an alert to the script and choose the desired condition from the dropdown.
7. How to use it in your trading
This tool is best used as a structural context layer, not a standalone system:
Identify bullish impulsive trends when a Wave-5 structure completes.
Use the Wave-5 target line as a potential area for:
Scaling out
Watching for exhaustion / divergences / reversal patterns
Use the Wave-2/ABC level and ABC Bottom signal:
To look for end of correction entries back in the trend direction
To align with your own confluence (support/resistance, volume, RSI, etc.)
It works well on crypto, FX, indices, and stocks, especially on higher timeframes where structure is cleaner.
8. Limitations & notes
This is a mechanical approximation of Elliott 5-wave theory — it will not match every analyst’s discretionary count.
Pivots are confirmed after Pivot Length bars, so signals are not instant; they’re based on completed swings.
The indicator currently focuses on bullish impulses (upward 5-wave structures).
As always, this is not financial advice. Combine it with your own strategy, risk management, and confirmation tools.

Morning ORB FVG Trigger✅ Overview
Morning ORB FVG Trigger is a complete intraday trading framework built around:
A Morning Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The first Fair Value Gap (FVG) after that breakout
Strict risk management and position sizing
Optional HTF trend filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Optional Daily ATR filter to avoid extreme days
The script is designed for futures / indices / FX on intraday charts up to 15 minutes and for traders who want a clean, mechanical entry framework with clear risk.
🧠 Core idea
Define a morning opening range (e.g. 09:30–09:45).
Wait for a clean breakout above/below that range.
After the breakout, wait for the first FVG in breakout direction,
confirmed by the next candle (no immediate full reclaim).
Use a chosen stop logic + R:R factor to build risk/reward boxes.
Calculate position size based on your account risk.
(Optional) Only take trades:
In the direction of the HTF EMA trend (D/W/M).
On days where the morning range is within a band of the Daily ATR.
You can also disable all signals/boxes and use the script just as a visual ORB tool.
⏰ 1. ORB / Morning Range
Inputs (Main section)
Morning Range Session
Time window of the opening range in exchange time
Example: 09:30–09:45 for a 15-minute ORB.
You can type custom ranges (e.g. 09:30–09:35 for a 5-minute ORB).
Risk/Reward (TP factor)
Multiplier for the take-profit distance relative to the stop.
2.0 = TP is 2× the stop distance
1.5 = TP is 1.5× the stop distance
Show ORB range
If enabled, draws:
ORB high/low lines
ORB labels (e.g. 15min ORB high / low)
Optional midline
Extend ORB lines to the right (bars)
How many bars to extend the ORB high/low horizontally beyond the ORB itself.
Trade box width (bars)
Horizontal width (in bars) of:
Red risk box (entry–stop)
Green reward box (entry–TP)
Implementation details
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so it stays precise even on 5m/15m charts.
The script only works on intraday timeframes up to 15 minutes.
📦 2. FVG Block
Group: “FVG”
Threshold %
Minimum size of an FVG in % of price.
0 = every FVG
Higher values = only larger gaps
Auto threshold (from volatility)
If enabled, the minimum FVG size is derived from historical volatility
instead of a fixed percentage.
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB
Off (default): the FVG must lie fully outside the ORB.
On: the breakout FVG itself may still overlap the ORB a bit,
as long as it is the first one attached to the breakout move.
Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts
On: full system – FVG detection, entry labels, risk/TP boxes, alerts.
Off: no entries, no risk/TP boxes, no alerts.
You only get the ORB and (optionally) the HTF dashboard, so you can trade your own setups.
Entry mode
Entry mode (Mid / Edge / NextOpen)
Mid – Entry at the midpoint of the FVG.
Edge – Long at the upper FVG edge, short at the lower FVG edge.
NextOpen – No limit order in the gap. Entry is placed at the next bar open after FVG confirmation.
Edge offset (ticks)
Additional offset for Edge entries:
Long:
+ticks = a bit above the FVG (more conservative)
-ticks = deeper into the FVG (more aggressive)
Short:
+ticks = a bit below the FVG
-ticks = deeper into the FVG
FVG detection logic
Uses a LuxAlgo-style 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle 1 and 3).
Only one FVG is taken: the first valid FVG after the ORB breakout in breakup direction.
The FVG candle is the middle bar; the script:
Detects the FVG on the previous bar.
Waits for the current bar to confirm it:
Bullish: current low must stay above the lower FVG boundary
Bearish: current high must stay below the upper FVG boundary
Only then an entry signal is generated.
🛑 3. Stop Logic
Group: “Stop Logic”
Stop mode (PrevBar / Pivot / FVG Candle)
PrevBar – Stop at the low/high of the candle before the FVG
(tight/aggressive).
FVG Candle – Stop at the low/high of the FVG candle itself
(medium).
Pivot – Stop at the most recent swing high/low
using pivotLeft / pivotRight pivots (more conservative).
Ticks (stop buffer)
Offset (in ticks) from the selected stop level.
> 0 = further away (more room, more risk)
< 0 = closer (tighter stop)
Pivot left / Pivot right
Number of candles left/right to define a swing high/low
when using Pivot stop mode.
Typical intraday values: 2–3.
The script also sanity-checks the stop:
if the calculated stop would be invalid (e.g. above entry in a long), it moves it by a minimal distance (2 ticks) to keep a valid risk.
📈 4. HTF Trend Filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Group: “HTF Trend Filter”
Enable HTF trend filter
If enabled, trades are only allowed:
Long when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are above their EMA
Short when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are below their EMA
EMA length (D/W/M)
EMA length for all three higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
This helps focus entries in the direction of the dominant higher-timeframe trend.
📊 5. ATR Filter (Daily)
Group: “ATR Filter (Daily)”
Use daily ATR filter
If enabled, the height of the ORB (ORB high – ORB low) must be within
a band of the Daily ATR to allow any signals.
Daily ATR length
ATR period on the Daily timeframe.
Min ORB size vs ATR
Lower bound:
Example: 0.3 → ORB must be at least 0.3 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no minimum.
Max ORB size vs ATR
Upper bound:
Example: 1.5 → ORB must be ≤ 1.5 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no maximum.
If the ORB is too small (choppy) or too large (exhausted move), no breakout or FVG signal will be generated on that day.
🧭 6. HTF Dashboard & Signal Labels
Group: “HTF Trend Dashboard”
Show HTF dashboard
Draws a small label at the top of the chart showing:
HTF Trend (EMA X)
D: UP/FLAT/DOWN
W: UP/FLAT/DOWN
M: UP/FLAT/DOWN
Dashboard position
Top Right, Top Center, Top Left – places the dashboard at the top.
Over Risk Info – no top dashboard; instead, the HTF trend info is shown as a label near the risk box when a new signal appears.
Lookback (bars) for top anchor
How many bars to use to determine the top price level for dashboard placement.
Show HTF trend above risk box on signal
Only relevant if Dashboard position = Over Risk Info.
When enabled, a small HTF label appears near the risk box for each new trade.
Signal label vertical offset (ticks)
Vertical spacing between risk info label and HTF label.
Minimum spacing HTF/Risk (ticks)
Ensures a minimum vertical distance so the two labels don’t overlap.
HTF signal label X offset (bars)
Horizontal offset (left/right) relative to the risk info label.
⏳ 7. ORB–FVG Filters (Session & Time Window)
Group: “ORB FVG Filter”
Only same session day
If enabled, FVG entries are only allowed on the same calendar day
as the ORB. When the date changes, all state & drawings are reset.
Limit hours after ORB
Enables a time window after the ORB end.
Trading window after ORB (hours)
Length of that window in hours.
Example: 2.0 → FVG signals only in the first 2 hours after ORB end.
💰 8. Risk Management & Position Sizing
Group: “Risk Management”
Calculate position size
If enabled, the script computes suggested mini and micro contract size for you.
Account size
Your trading account size (in account currency).
Risk mode
Percent – risk is a % of account size (Account risk %).
Fixed amount – risk is a fixed dollar amount (Fixed risk ($)).
Account risk %
Risk per trade as a percentage of account size (e.g. 1.0 for 1%).
Fixed risk ($)
Fixed risk per trade in dollars when using Fixed amount mode.
Micro factor (vs mini)
How much a micro contract is worth relative to a mini.
Example:
0.1 → one micro moves 1/10 of one mini.
Risk Info label
For each new trade, a label is shown above the boxes with:
Stop distance in price and $ risk per mini
Max risk allowed for the trade
Suggested mini and micro size
Text like:
Suggested: 2 mini
Suggested: 5 micro
or Suggested: no trade
This makes the script especially useful for prop-firm rules or strict risk discipline.
🎨 9. Visual Style (Boxes, Labels, ORB Lines)
Group: “Box & Label Style (Trade)”
Label font size (Very small, Small, Normal, Large)
Entry label BG / text color
Stop label BG / text color
TP label BG / text color
Risk info BG / text color
Risk box color (entry–stop zone)
Reward box color (entry–TP zone)
Group: “ORB Style”
ORB high line color
ORB low line color
ORB line width
ORB label font size
ORB label background color
ORB label text color
Show ORB midline
ORB midline color / width / style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted)
⚠️ 10. Alerts
Group: “Alerts”
The script defines three alert conditions:
Long entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new long signal appears.
Short entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new short signal appears.
FVG entry (long/short)
Generic alert for any new signal (long or short).
To use them:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Open the Alerts dialog → “Condition”.
Select this script and one of the alert conditions.
Set your preferred expiration and notification settings.
Alerts only fire when Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts is on.
🧩 11. How the trading logic flows (summary)
Build ORB on 1-minute data during the selected session.
Optionally reject the day if ORB is outside the ATR bounds.
Wait for a breakout (close above high or below low), respecting HTF trend filter.
After breakout, look for the first valid FVG in that direction:
Outside the ORB (unless breakout FVG allowed inside)
Confirmed by the next candle (no full reclaim)
Once confirmed:
Compute entry, stop, target.
Draw risk/reward boxes and all labels.
Optionally show HTF signal label over the risk info.
Trigger alerts if enabled.
If you disable FVG signals, only steps 1–3 (plus dashboard) are effectively active.
⚠️ 12. Notes & Disclaimer
Script is intended for intraday trading up to 15-minute timeframes.
All signals are mechanical and do not guarantee profitability.
Always backtest and forward-test on your own data before risking real money.

Start on replay and demo before trading real money.
Adjust filters (HTF, ATR, thresholds) until the signals fit your personal approach.
Session Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework - TrendPredator OBSession Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework — TrendPredator Open Box
Stacey Burke’s trading approach combines concepts from George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His framework focuses on reading price behaviour across daily templates and identifying how markets move through recurring cycles of expansion, contraction, and reversal. While effective, much of this analysis requires real-time interpretation of session-based behaviour, which can be demanding for traders working on lower intraday timeframes.
The TrendPredator indicators formalize parts of this methodology by introducing mechanical rules for multi-timeframe bias tracking and session structure analysis. They aim to present the key elements of the system—bias, breakouts, fakeouts, and range behaviour—in a consistent and objective way that reduces discretionary interpretation.
The Open Box indicator focuses specifically on the opening behaviour of major trading sessions. It builds on principles found in classical Open Range Breakout (ORB) techniques described by Tony Crabel, where a defined time window around the session open forms a structural reference range. Price behaviour relative to this range—breaking out, failing back inside, or expanding—can highlight developing session bias, potential trap formation, and directional conviction.
This indicator applies these concepts throughout the major equity sessions. It automatically maps the session’s initial range (“Open Box”) and tracks how price interacts with it as liquidity and volatility increase. It also incorporates related structural references such as:
* the first-hour high and low of the futures session
* the exact session open level
* an anchored VWAP starting at the session open
* automated expansion levels projected from the Open Box
In combination, these components provide a unified view of early session activity, including breakout attempts, fakeouts, VWAP reactions, and liquidity targeting. The Open Box offers a structured lens for observing how price transitions through the major sessions (Asia → London → New York) and how these behaviours relate to higher-timeframe bias defined in the broader TrendPredator framework.
Core Features
Open Box (Session Structure)
The indicator defines an initial session range beginning at the selected session open. This “Open Box” represents a fixed time window—commonly the first 30 minutes, or any user-defined duration—that serves as a structural reference for analysing early session behaviour.
The range highlights whether price remains inside the box, breaks out, or rejects the boundaries, providing a consistent foundation for interpreting early directional tendencies and recognising breakout, continuation, or fakeout characteristics.
How it works:
* At the session open, the indicator calculates the high and low over the specified time window.
* This range is plotted as the initial structure of the session.
* Price behaviour at the boundaries can illustrate emerging bias or potential trap formation.
* An optional secondary range (e.g., 15-minute high/low) can be enabled to capture early volatility with additional precision.
Inputs / Options:
* Session specifications (Tokyo, London, New York)
* Open Box start and end times (e.g., equity open + first 30 minutes, or any custom length)
* Open Box colour and label settings
* Formatting options for Open Box high and low lines
* Optional secondary range per session (e.g., 15-minute high/low)
* Forward extension of Open Box high/low lines
* Number of historic Open Boxes to display
Session VWAPs
The indicator plots VWAPs for each major trading session—Asia, London, and New York—anchored to their respective session opens. These session-specific VWAPs assist in tracking how value develops through the day and how price interacts with session-based volume distributions.
How it works:
* At each session open, a VWAP is anchored to the open price.
* The VWAP updates throughout the session as new volume and price data arrive.
* Deviations above or below the VWAP may indicate balance, imbalance, or directional control.
* Viewed together, session VWAPs help identify transitions in value across sessions.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable VWAP per session
* Adjustable anchor and end times (optionally to end of day)
* Line styling and label settings
* Number of historic VWAPs to draw
First Hour High/Low Extensions
The indicator marks the high and low formed during the first hour of each session. These reference points often function as early control levels and provide context for assessing whether the session is establishing bias, consolidating, or exhibiting reversal behaviour.
How it works:
* After the session starts, the indicator records the highest and lowest prices during the first hour.
* These levels are plotted and extended across the session.
* They provide a visual reference for observing reactions, targets, or rejection zones.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable for each session
* Line style, colour, and label visibility
* Number of historic sessions displayed
EQO Levels (Equity Open)
The indicator plots the opening price of each configured session. These “Equity Open” levels represent short-term reference points that can attract price early in the session.
Once the level is revisited after the Open Box has formed, it is automatically cut to avoid clutter. If not revisited, the line remains as an untested reference, similar to a naked point of control.
How it works:
* At session open, the open price is recorded.
* The level is plotted as a local reference.
* If price interacts with the level after the Open Box completes, the line is cut.
* Untested EQOs extend forward until interacted with.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Line style and label settings
* Optional extension into the next day
* Option for cutting vs. hiding on revisit
* Number of historic sessions displayed
OB Range Expansions (Automatic)
Range expansions are calculated from the height of the Open Box. These levels provide structured reference zones for identifying potential continuation or exhaustion areas within a session.
How it works:
* After the Open Box is formed, multiples of the range (e.g., 1×, 2×, 3×) are projected.
* These expansion levels are plotted above and below the range.
* Price reactions near these areas can illustrate continuation, hesitation, or potential reversal.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable per session
* Select number of multiples
* Line style, colour, and label settings
* Extension length into the session
Stacey Burke 12-Candle Window Marker
The indicator can highlight the 12-candle window often referenced in Stacey Burke’s session methodology. This window represents the key active period of each session where breakout attempts, volatility shifts, and reversal signatures often occur.
How it works:
* A configurable window (default 12 candles) is highlighted from each session open.
* This window acts as a guide for observing active session behaviour.
* It remains visible throughout the session for structural context.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Configurable window duration (default: 3 hours)
* Colour and transparency controls
Concept and Integration
The Open Box is built around the same multi-timeframe logic that underpins the broader TrendPredator framework.
While higher-timeframe tools track bias and setups across the H8–D–W–M levels, the Open Box focuses on the H1–M30 domain to define session structure and observe how early intraday behaviour aligns with higher-timeframe conditions.
The indicator integrates with the TrendPredator FO (Breakout, Fakeout & Trend Switch Detector), which highlights microstructure signals on lower timeframes (M15/M5). Together they form a layered workflow:
* Higher timeframes: context, bias, and developing setups
* TrendPredator OB: intraday and intra-session structure
* TrendPredator FO: microstructure confirmation (e.g., FOL/FOH, switches)
This alignment provides a structured way to observe how daily directional context interacts with intraday behaviour.
See the public open source indicator TP FO here (click on it for access):
Practical Application
Before Session Open
* Review previous session Open Box, Open level, and VWAPs
* Assess how higher-timeframe bias aligns with potential intraday continuation or reversal
* Note untested EQO levels or VWAPs that may function as liquidity attractors
During Session Open
* Observe behaviour around the first-hour high/low and higher-timeframe reference levels
* Monitor how the M15 and 30-minute ranges close
* Track reactions relative to the session open level and the session VWAP
After the Open Box completes
* Assess price interaction with Open Box boundaries and first-hour levels
* Use microstructure signals (e.g., FOH/FOL, switches) for potential confirmation
* Refer to expansion levels as reference zones for management or target setting
After Session
* Review how price behaved relative to the Open Box, EQO levels, VWAPs, and expansion zones
* Analyse breakout attempts, fakeouts, and whether intraday structure aligned with the broader daily move
Example Workflow and Trade
1. Higher-timeframe analysis signals a Daily Fakeout Low Continuation (bullish context).
2. The New York session forms an Open Box; price breaks above and holds above the first-hour high.
3. A Fakeout Low + Switch Bar appears on M5 (via FO), after retesting the session VWAP triggering the entry.
4. 1x expansion level serves as reference targets for take profit.
Relation to the TrendPredator Ecosystem
The Open Box is part of the TrendPredator Indicator Family, designed to apply multi-timeframe logic consistently across:
* higher-timeframe context and setups
* intraday and session structure (OB)
* microstructure confirmation (FO)
Together, these modules offer a unified structure for analysing how daily and intraday cycles interact.

## 🎯 What is CVD?
**CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)** tracks the **difference between buying and selling pressure** over time.
### Simple Explanation:
- **Positive CVD** (Orange) = More buying than selling = Bulls winning
- **Negative CVD** (Gray) = More selling than buying = Bears winning
- **Rising CVD** = Increasing buying pressure = Potential uptrend
- **Falling CVD** = Increasing selling pressure = Potential downtrend
### Why It Matters:
CVD helps you see **who's really in control** of the market - not just price movement, but actual buying/selling volume.

## 💡 Trading Strategies
### Strategy 1: CVD Divergence (Beginner-Friendly)
**What to Look For:**
- Price making **higher highs** but CVD making **lower highs** = Bearish divergence
- Price making **lower lows** but CVD making **higher lows** = Bullish divergence
**How to Trade:**
1. Wait for divergence to form
2. Look for confirmation (price reversal, candlestick pattern)
3. Enter trade in divergence direction
4. Stop loss beyond recent high/low
**Example:**
```
Price: /\ /\ /\ (higher highs)
CVD: /\ / \/ (lower highs) = Bearish signal
```
### Strategy 2: CVD Trend Following (Intermediate)
**What to Look For:**
- **Strongly rising CVD** + **rising price** = Strong uptrend
- **Strongly falling CVD** + **falling price** = Strong downtrend
**How to Trade:**
1. Wait for CVD and price moving in same direction
2. Enter on pullbacks to support/resistance
3. Stay in trade while CVD trend continues
4. Exit when CVD trend breaks
**Signals:**
- CVD ▲▲▲ + Price ↑ = Go LONG
- CVD ▼▼▼ + Price ↓ = Go SHORT
### Strategy 3: CVD + Reference Asset (Advanced)
**What to Look For:**
- Your asset **rising** but BTC (reference) **falling** = Relative strength
- Your asset **falling** but BTC (reference) **rising** = Relative weakness
**How to Trade:**
1. Compare CVD movement with BTC
2. If your CVD rises faster than BTC = Buy signal
3. If your CVD falls faster than BTC = Sell signal
4. Use for **pair trading** or **asset selection**
### Strategy 4: Volume Delta Confirmation
**What to Look For:**
- **Large positive Delta** = Strong buying this bar
- **Large negative Delta** = Strong selling this bar
**How to Trade:**
1. Price breaks resistance + Large positive Delta = Confirmed breakout
2. Price breaks support + Large negative Delta = Confirmed breakdown
3. Use Delta to **confirm** price moves, not predict them
**Rules:**
- Delta > 2x average = Very strong pressure
- Delta near zero at key level = Weak move, likely false breakout

## ⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
### Mistake 1: Trading on CVD Alone
- ❌ **Wrong:** "CVD is rising, I'll buy immediately"
- ✅ **Right:** "CVD is rising, let me check price structure, support/resistance, and wait for confirmation"
### Mistake 2: Ignoring Delta
- ❌ **Wrong:** Looking only at cumulative CVD
- ✅ **Right:** Watch both CVD (trend) and Delta (momentum)
- Delta shows **immediate** pressure changes
### Mistake 3: Wrong Timeframe
- ❌ **Wrong:** Using 1m chart with High Precision (too slow)
- ✅ **Right:** Match precision to timeframe:
- 1m-5m → Low Precision
- 15m-1h → Medium Precision
- 4h+ → High Precision
### Mistake 4: Not Using Reset
- ❌ **Wrong:** Using "None" reset for intraday trading
- ✅ **Right:** Use "On Higher Timeframe" to see fresh CVD each session
### Mistake 5: Overtrading Neutral Status
- ❌ **Wrong:** Forcing trades when STATUS = NEUT
- ✅ **Right:** Only trade clear BULL or BEAR status
### Mistake 6: Ignoring Reference Asset
- ❌ **Wrong:** Trading altcoin without checking BTC
- ✅ **Right:** Always check if BTC CVD agrees with your asset
---
## 🔥 Pro Tips
### Tip 1: Multi-Timeframe Analysis
- Check CVD on **3 timeframes**:
- Lower TF (15m) = Entry timing
- Current TF (1h) = Trade direction
- Higher TF (4h) = Overall trend
### Tip 2: Volume Confirmation
- Big price move + Small Delta = **Weak move** (likely reversal)
- Small price move + Big Delta = **Strong accumulation** (continuation)
### Tip 3: CVD Reset Zones
- Pay attention to **reset backgrounds** (light gray)
- Often marks **session starts** = High volatility periods
### Tip 4: Divergence + Status
- Bearish divergence + STATUS = BEAR = **Strongest short signal**
- Bullish divergence + STATUS = BULL = **Strongest long signal**
### Tip 5: Color Psychology
- **Orange** (Bullish) is **warm** = Buying energy
- **Gray** (Bearish) is **cool** = Selling pressure
- Train your eye to read colors instantly
### Tip 6: Table as Quick Scan
- Glance at table without reading numbers:
- **All orange** = Bullish
- **All gray** = Bearish
- **Mixed** = Wait

## 🆘 Troubleshooting
### Issue: "Indicator not showing"
- **Solution:** Make sure overlay=true in code, re-add to chart
### Issue: "Table overlaps with price"
- **Solution:** Change table position in code or use TradingView's "Move" feature
### Issue: "CVD line too far from price"
- **Solution:** This is normal! CVD is volume-based, not price-based. Focus on CVD direction, not position
### Issue: "Too many lines on chart"
- **Solution:** Disable "Show Zone" and "Show Labels" in settings for cleaner view
### Issue: "Calculations too slow"
- **Solution:** Change Precision to "Low (Fast)" or use higher timeframe
### Issue: "Reference asset not showing"
- **Solution:** Check if "Enable" is ON and symbol is valid (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT)

ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM🔥 ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM
Overview
This comprehensive order flow analysis tool combines **Volume Profile**, **Cumulative Delta**, and **Large Order Detection** to identify high-probability trading setups. The script analyzes institutional order flow patterns and volume distribution to pinpoint key levels where price is likely to react.
📊 Core Components & Methodology
🔥 ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM
Overview
This comprehensive order flow analysis tool combines Volume Profile, Cumulative Delta, and Large Order Detection to identify high-probability trading setups. The script analyzes institutional order flow patterns and volume distribution to pinpoint key levels where price is likely to react.
________________________________________
📊 Core Components & Methodology
1. Volume Profile Analysis
The script constructs a horizontal volume profile by:
• Dividing the price range into configurable rows (default: 20)
• Accumulating volume at each price level over a lookback period (default: 50 bars)
• Separating buy volume (green bars close > open) from sell volume (red bars)
• Identifying three critical levels:
o POC (Point of Control): Price level with highest traded volume - acts as a strong magnet
o VAH/VAL (Value Area High/Low): Contains 70% of total volume - defines fair value zone
o HVN (High Volume Nodes): Resistance zones where institutions accumulated positions
o LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Thin zones that price moves through quickly - ideal targets
Why This Matters: Institutional traders leave footprints through volume. HVN zones show where large players defended levels, making them reliable support/resistance.
________________________________________
2. Cumulative Delta (Order Flow)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure:
• Bar Delta: Difference between buy and sell volume per candle
• Cumulative Delta: Sum of all bar deltas - shows net directional pressure
• Delta Moving Average: Smoothed delta (20-period) to identify trend
• Delta Divergences:
o Bullish: Price makes lower low, but delta makes higher low (absorption at bottom)
o Bearish: Price makes higher high, but delta makes lower high (exhaustion at top)
How It Works: When cumulative delta trends up while price consolidates, it signals accumulation. Delta divergences reveal when smart money is positioned opposite to retail expectations.
________________________________________
3. Large Order Detection
Identifies institutional-sized orders in real-time:
• Compares current bar volume to 20-period moving average
• Flags orders exceeding 2.5x average volume (configurable multiplier)
• Distinguishes bullish (green circles below) vs bearish (red circles above) large orders
Rationale: Sudden volume spikes at key levels indicate institutional participation - the "fuel" needed for breakouts or reversals.
________________________________________
🎯 Trading Signal Logic
Combined Setup Criteria
The script generates SHORT and LONG signals when multiple conditions align:
SHORT Signal Requirements:
1. Price reaches an HVN resistance zone (within 0.2%)
2. Large sell order detected (volume spike + red candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bearish OR bearish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown between signals (prevents overtrading)
LONG Signal Requirements:
1. Price reaches an HVN support zone
2. Large buy order detected (volume spike + green candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bullish OR bullish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown enforced
________________________________________
🔧 Customization Options
Setting - Purpose - Recommendation
Volume Profile Rows - Granularity of level detection - 20 (balanced)
Lookback Period - Historical data analyzed - 50 bars (intraday), 200 (swing)
Large Order Multiplier - Sensitivity to volume spikes - 2.5x (standard), 3.5x (conservative)
HVN Threshold - Resistance zone detection - 1.3 (default)
LVN Threshold - Target zone identification - 0.6 (default)
Divergence Lookback - Pivot detection period - 5 bars (responsive)
________________________________________
📈 Dashboard Indicators
The real-time panel displays:
• POC: Current Point of Control price
• Location: Whether price is at HVN resistance
• Orders: Current large buy/sell activity
• Cumulative Δ: Net order flow value + trend direction
• Divergence: Active bullish/bearish divergences
• Bar Strength: % of candle volume that's directional (>65% = strong)
• SETUP: Current trade signal (LONG/SHORT/WAIT)
________________________________________
🎨 Visual System
• Yellow POC Line: Highest volume level - primary pivot
• Blue Value Area Box: Fair value zone (VAH to VAL)
• Red HVN Zones: Resistance/support from institutional accumulation
• Green LVN Zones: Low-liquidity targets for quick moves
• Volume Bars: Green (buy pressure) vs Red (sell pressure) distribution
• Triangles: LONG (green up) and SHORT (red down) entry signals
• Diamonds: Divergence warnings (cyan=bullish, fuchsia=bearish)
________________________________________
💡 How This Script Is Unique
Unlike standalone volume profile or delta indicators, this script:
1. Synthesizes three complementary methods - volume structure, order flow momentum, and liquidity detection
2. Requires multi-factor confirmation - signals only trigger when price, volume, and delta align at key zones
3. Adapts to market regime - delta filters ensure you're trading with the dominant order flow direction
4. Provides context, not just signals - the dashboard helps you understand why a setup is forming
________________________________________
⚙️ Best Practices
Timeframes:
• 5-15 min: Scalping (use 30-50 bar lookback)
• 1-4 hour: Swing trading (use 100-200 bar lookback)
Risk Management:
• Enter on signal candle close
• Stop loss: Beyond nearest HVN/LVN zone
• Target 1: Next LVN level
• Target 2: Opposite value area boundary
Filters:
• Avoid signals during major news events
• Require bar delta strength >65% for aggressive entries
• Wait for delta MA cross confirmation in ranging markets
________________________________________
🚨 Alerts Available
• Long Setup Trigger
• Short Setup Trigger
• Bullish/Bearish Divergence Detection
• Large Buy/Sell Order Execution
________________________________________
📚 Educational Context
This methodology is based on principles used by professional order flow traders:
• Market Profile Theory: Volume distribution reveals fair value
• Tape Reading: Large orders show institutional intent
• Auction Theory: Price seeks areas of liquidity imbalance (LVN zones)
The script automates pattern recognition that discretionary traders spend years learning to identify manually.
________________________________________
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a trading tool, not a trading system. It identifies high-probability setups based on order flow analysis but requires proper risk management, market context, and trader discretion. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

1. Volume Profile Analysis
The script constructs a horizontal volume profile by:
- Dividing the price range into configurable rows (default: 20)
- Accumulating volume at each price level over a lookback period (default: 50 bars)
- Separating buy volume (green bars close > open) from sell volume (red bars)
- Identifying three critical levels:
- POC (Point of Control): Price level with highest traded volume - acts as a strong magnet
- VAH/VAL (Value Area High/Low): Contains 70% of total volume - defines fair value zone
- HVN (High Volume Nodes): Resistance zones where institutions accumulated positions
- LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Thin zones that price moves through quickly - ideal targets
Why This Matters: Institutional traders leave footprints through volume. HVN zones show where large players defended levels, making them reliable support/resistance.
---
2. Cumulative Delta (Order Flow)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure:
- **Bar Delta**: Difference between buy and sell volume per candle
- **Cumulative Delta**: Sum of all bar deltas - shows net directional pressure
- **Delta Moving Average**: Smoothed delta (20-period) to identify trend
- **Delta Divergences**:
- **Bullish**: Price makes lower low, but delta makes higher low (absorption at bottom)
- **Bearish**: Price makes higher high, but delta makes lower high (exhaustion at top)
**How It Works**: When cumulative delta trends up while price consolidates, it signals accumulation. Delta divergences reveal when smart money is positioned opposite to retail expectations.
---
### 3. **Large Order Detection**
Identifies **institutional-sized orders** in real-time:
- Compares current bar volume to 20-period moving average
- Flags orders exceeding 2.5x average volume (configurable multiplier)
- Distinguishes bullish (green circles below) vs bearish (red circles above) large orders
**Rationale**: Sudden volume spikes at key levels indicate institutional participation - the "fuel" needed for breakouts or reversals.
---
## 🎯 Trading Signal Logic
### Combined Setup Criteria
The script generates **SHORT** and **LONG** signals when multiple conditions align:
**SHORT Signal Requirements:**
1. Price reaches an HVN resistance zone (within 0.2%)
2. Large sell order detected (volume spike + red candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bearish OR bearish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown between signals (prevents overtrading)
**LONG Signal Requirements:**
1. Price reaches an HVN support zone
2. Large buy order detected (volume spike + green candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bullish OR bullish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown enforced
---
## 🔧 Customization Options

---
## 💡 How This Script Is Unique
Unlike standalone volume profile or delta indicators, this script:
1. **Synthesizes three complementary methods** - volume structure, order flow momentum, and liquidity detection
2. **Requires multi-factor confirmation** - signals only trigger when price, volume, and delta align at key zones
3. **Adapts to market regime** - delta filters ensure you're trading with the dominant order flow direction
4. **Provides context, not just signals** - the dashboard helps you understand *why* a setup is forming
---
## ⚙️ Best Practices
**Timeframes:**
- 5-15 min: Scalping (use 30-50 bar lookback)
- 1-4 hour: Swing trading (use 100-200 bar lookback)
**Risk Management:**
- Enter on signal candle close
- Stop loss: Beyond nearest HVN/LVN zone
- Target 1: Next LVN level
- Target 2: Opposite value area boundary
**Filters:**
- Avoid signals during major news events
- Require bar delta strength >65% for aggressive entries
- Wait for delta MA cross confirmation in ranging markets
---
## 🚨 Alerts Available
- Long Setup Trigger
- Short Setup Trigger
- Bullish/Bearish Divergence Detection
- Large Buy/Sell Order Execution
---
## 📚 Educational Context
This methodology is based on principles used by professional order flow traders:
- **Market Profile Theory**: Volume distribution reveals fair value
- **Tape Reading**: Large orders show institutional intent
- **Auction Theory**: Price seeks areas of liquidity imbalance (LVN zones)
The script automates pattern recognition that discretionary traders spend years learning to identify manually.
---
## ⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a **trading tool, not a trading system**. It identifies high-probability setups based on order flow analysis but requires proper risk management, market context, and trader discretion. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Market Electromagnetic Field [The_lurker]Market Electromagnetic Field
An innovative analytical indicator that presents a completely new model for understanding market dynamics, inspired by the laws of electromagnetic physics — but it's not a rhetorical metaphor, rather a complete mathematical system.
Unlike traditional indicators that focus on price or momentum, this indicator portrays the market as a closed physical system, where:
⚡ Candles = Electric charges (positive at bullish close, negative at bearish)
⚡ Buyers and Sellers = Two opposing poles where pressure accumulates
⚡ Market tension = Voltage difference between the poles
⚡ Price breakout = Electrical discharge after sufficient energy accumulation
█ Core Concept
Markets don't move randomly, but follow a clear physical cycle:
Accumulation → Tension → Discharge → Stabilization → New Accumulation
When charges accumulate (through strong candles with high volume) and exceed a certain "electrical capacitance" threshold, the indicator issues a "⚡ DISCHARGE IMMINENT" alert — meaning a price explosion is imminent, giving the trader an opportunity to enter before the move begins.
█ Competitive Advantage
- Predictive forecasting (not confirmatory after the event)
- Smart multi-layer filtering reduces false signals
- Animated 3D visual representation makes reading price conditions instant and intuitive — without need for number analysis
█ Theoretical Physical Foundation
The indicator doesn't use physical terms for decoration, but applies mathematical laws with precise market adjustments:
⚡ Coulomb's Law
Physics: F = k × (q₁ × q₂) / r²
Market: Field Intensity = 4 × norm_positive × norm_negative
Peaks at equilibrium (0.5 × 0.5 × 4 = 1.0), and decreases at dominance — because conflict increases at parity.
⚡ Ohm's Law
Physics: V = I × R
Market: Voltage = norm_positive − norm_negative
Measures balance of power:
- +1 = Absolute buying dominance
- −1 = Absolute selling dominance
- 0 = Balance
⚡ Capacitance
Physics: C = Q / V
Market: Capacitance = |Voltage| × Field Intensity
Represents stored energy ready for discharge — increases with bias combined with high interaction.
⚡ Electrical Discharge
Physics: Occurs when exceeding insulation threshold
Market: Discharge Probability = min(Capacitance / Discharge Threshold, 1.0)
When ≥ 0.9: "⚡ DISCHARGE IMMINENT"
📌 Key Note:
Maximum capacitance doesn't occur at absolute dominance (where field intensity = 0), nor at perfect balance (where voltage = 0), but at moderate bias (±30–50%) with high interaction (field intensity > 25%) — i.e., in moments of "pressure before breakout".
█ Detailed Calculation Mechanism
⚡ Phase 1: Candle Polarity
polarity = (close − open) / (high − low)
- +1.0: Complete bullish candle (Bullish Marubozu)
- −1.0: Complete bearish candle (Bearish Marubozu)
- 0.0: Doji (no decision)
- Intermediate values: Represent the ratio of candle body to its range — reducing the effect of long-shadow candles
⚡ Phase 2: Volume Weight
vol_weight = volume / SMA(volume, lookback)
A candle with 150% of average volume = 1.5x stronger charge
⚡ Phase 3: Adaptive Factor
adaptive_factor = ATR(lookback) / SMA(ATR, lookback × 2)
- In volatile markets: Increases sensitivity
- In quiet markets: Reduces noise
- Always recommended to keep it enabled
⚡ Phase 4–6: Charge Accumulation and Normalization
Charges are summed over lookback candles, then ratios are normalized:
norm_positive = positive_charge / total_charge
norm_negative = negative_charge / total_charge
So that: norm_positive + norm_negative = 1 — for easier comparison
⚡ Phase 7: Field Calculations
voltage = norm_positive − norm_negative
field_intensity = 4 × norm_positive × norm_negative × field_sensitivity
capacitance = |voltage| × field_intensity
discharge_prob = min(capacitance / discharge_threshold, 1.0)

█ Visual Representation: A Visual Language for Diagnosing Price Conditions
✨ Design Philosophy
The representation isn't "decoration", but a complete cognitive model — each element carries information, and element interaction tells a complete story.
The brain perceives changes in size, color, and movement 60,000 times faster than reading numbers — so you can "sense" the change before your eye finishes scanning.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟢 Positive Pole (Green Sphere — Left)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What does it represent?
Active buying pressure accumulation — not just an uptrend, but real demand force supported by volume and volatility.
● Dynamic Size
Size = pole_size × (0.7 + norm_positive × 0.6)
- 70% of base size = No significant charge
- 130% of base size = Complete dominance
- The larger the sphere: Greater buyer dominance, higher probability of bullish continuation
Size Interpretation:
- Large sphere (>55%): Strong buying pressure — Buyers dominate
- Medium sphere (45–55%): Relative balance with buying bias
- Small sphere (<45%): Weak buying pressure — Sellers dominate
● Lighting and Transparency
- 20% transparency (when Bias = +1): Pole currently active — Bullish direction
- 50% transparency (when Bias ≠ +1): Pole inactive — Not the prevailing direction
Lighting = Current activity, while Size = Historical accumulation
● Pulsing Inner Glow
A smaller sphere pulses automatically when Bias = +1:
inner_pulse = 0.4 + 0.1 × sin(anim_time × 3)
Symbolizes continuity of buy order flow — not static dominance.
● Orbital Rings
Two rings rotating at different speeds and directions:
- Inner: 1.3× sphere size — Direct influence range
- Outer: 1.6× sphere size — Extended influence range
Represent "influence zone" of buyers:
- Continuous rotation = Stability and momentum
- Slowdown = Momentum exhaustion
● Percentage
Displayed below sphere: norm_positive × 100
- >55% = Clear dominance
- 45–55% = Balance
- <45% = Weakness
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔴 Negative Pole (Red Sphere — Right)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What does it represent?
Active selling pressure accumulation — whether cumulative selling (smart distribution) or panic selling (position liquidation).
● Visual Dynamics
Same size, lighting, and inner glow mechanism — but in red.
Key Difference:
- Rotation is reversed (counter-clockwise)
- Visually distinguishes "buy flow" from "sell flow"
- Allows reading direction at a glance — even for colorblind users
📌 Pole Reading Summary:
🟢 Large + Bright green sphere = Active buying force
🔴 Large + Bright red sphere = Active selling force
🟢🔴 Both large but dim = Energy accumulation (before discharge)
⚪ Both small = Stagnation / Low liquidity
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔵 Field Lines (Curved Blue Lines)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What do they represent?
Energy flow paths between poles — the arena where price battle is fought.
● Number of Lines
4–16 lines (Default: 8)
More lines: Greater sense of "interaction density"
● Arc Height
arc_h = (i − half_lines) × 15 × field_intensity × 2
- High field intensity = Highly elevated lines (like waves)
- Low intensity = Nearly straight lines
● Oscillating Transparency
transp = 30 + phase × 40
where phase = sin(anim_time × 2 + i × 0.5) × 0.5 + 0.5
Creates illusion of "flowing current" — not static lines
● Asymmetric Curvature
- Upper lines curve upward
- Lower lines curve downward
- Adds 3D depth and shows "pressure" direction
⚡ Pro Tip:
When you see lines suddenly "contract" (straighten), while both spheres are large — this is an early indicator of impending discharge, because the interaction is losing its flexibility.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚪ Moving Particles
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What do they represent?
Real liquidity flow in the market — who's driving price right now.
● Number and Movement
- 6 particles covering most field lines
- Move sinusoidally along the arc:
t = (sin(phase_val) + 1) / 2
- High speed = High trading activity
- Clustering at a pole = That side's control
● Color Gradient
From green (at positive pole) to red (at negative)
Shows "energy transformation":
- Green particle = Pure buying energy
- Orange particle = Conflict zone
- Red particle = Pure selling energy
📌 How to Read Them?
- Moving left to right (🟢 → 🔴): Buy flow → Bullish push
- Moving right to left (🔴 → 🟢): Sell flow → Bearish push
- Clustered in middle: Balanced conflict — Wait for breakout
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟠 Discharge Zone (Orange Glow — Center)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What does it represent?
Point of stored energy accumulation not yet discharged — heart of the early warning system.
● Glow Stages
Initial Warning (discharge_prob > 0.3):
- Dim orange circle (70% transparency)
- Meaning: Watch, don't enter yet
High Tension (discharge_prob ≥ 0.7):
- Stronger glow + "⚠️ HIGH TENSION" text
- Meaning: Prepare — Set pending orders
Imminent Discharge (discharge_prob ≥ 0.9):
- Bright glow + "⚡ DISCHARGE IMMINENT" text
- Meaning: Enter with direction (after candle confirmation)
● Layered Glow Effect (Glow Layering)
3 concentric circles with increasing transparency:
- Inner: 20%
- Middle: 35%
- Outer: 50%
Result: Realistic aura resembling actual electrical discharge.
📌 Why in the Center?
Because discharge always starts from the relative balance zone — where opposing pressures meet.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 Voltage Meter (Bottom of Scene)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What does it represent?
Simplified numeric indicator of voltage difference — for those who prefer numerical reading.
● Components
- Gray bar: Full range (−100% to +100%)
- Green fill: Positive voltage (extends right)
- Red fill: Negative voltage (extends left)
- Lightning symbol (⚡): Above center — reminder it's an "electrical gauge"
- Text value: Like "+23.4%" — in direction color
● Voltage Reading Interpretation
+50% to +100%:
Overwhelming buying dominance — Beware of saturation, may precede correction
+20% to +50%:
Strong buying dominance — Suitable for buying with trend
+5% to +20%:
Slight bullish bias — Wait for additional confirmation
−5% to +5%:
Balance/Neutral — Avoid entry or wait for breakout
−5% to −20%:
Slight bearish bias — Wait for confirmation
−20% to −50%:
Strong selling dominance — Suitable for selling with trend
−50% to −100%:
Overwhelming selling dominance — Beware of saturation, may precede bounce
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 Field Strength Indicator (Top of Scene)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What it displays: "Field: XX.X%"
Meaning: Strength of conflict between buyers and sellers.
● Reading Interpretation
0–5%:
- Appearance: Nearly straight lines, transparent
- Meaning: Complete control by one side
- Strategy: Trend Following
5–15%:
- Appearance: Slight curvature
- Meaning: Clear direction with light resistance
- Strategy: Enter with trend
15–25%:
- Appearance: Medium curvature, clear lines
- Meaning: Balanced conflict
- Strategy: Range trading or waiting
25–35%:
- Appearance: High curvature, clear density
- Meaning: Strong conflict, high uncertainty
- Strategy: Volatility trading or prepare for discharge
35%+:
- Appearance: Very high lines, strong glow
- Meaning: Peak tension
- Strategy: Best discharge opportunities
📌 Golden Relationship:
Highest discharge probability when:
Field Strength (25–35%) + Voltage (±30–50%) + High Volume
← This is the "red zone" to monitor carefully.
█ Comprehensive Visual Reading
To read market condition at a glance, follow this sequence:
Step 1: Which sphere is larger?
- 🟢 Green larger ← Dominant buying pressure
- 🔴 Red larger ← Dominant selling pressure
- Equal ← Balance/Conflict
Step 2: Which sphere is bright?
- 🟢 Green bright ← Current bullish direction
- 🔴 Red bright ← Current bearish direction
- Both dim ← Neutral/No clear direction
Step 3: Is there orange glow?
- None ← Discharge probability <30%
- 🟠 Dim glow ← Discharge probability 30–70%
- 🟠 Strong glow with text ← Discharge probability >70%
Step 4: What's the voltage meter reading?
- Strong positive ← Confirms buying dominance
- Strong negative ← Confirms selling dominance
- Near zero ← No clear direction

المجال الكهرومغناطيسي للسوق - Market Electromagnetic Field
مؤشر تحليلي مبتكر يقدّم نموذجًا جديدًا كليًّا لفهم ديناميكيات السوق، مستوحى من قوانين الفيزياء الكهرومغناطيسية — لكنه ليس استعارة بلاغية، بل نظام رياضي متكامل.
على عكس المؤشرات التقليدية التي تُركّز على السعر أو الزخم، يُصوّر هذا المؤشر السوق كـنظام فيزيائي مغلق، حيث:
⚡ الشموع = شحنات كهربائية (موجبة عند الإغلاق الصاعد، سالبة عند الهابط)
⚡ المشتريون والبائعون = قطبان متعاكسان يتراكم فيهما الضغط
⚡ التوتر السوقي = فرق جهد بين القطبين
⚡ الاختراق السعري = تفريغ كهربائي بعد تراكم طاقة كافية
█ الفكرة الجوهرية
الأسواق لا تتحرك عشوائيًّا، بل تخضع لدورة فيزيائية واضحة:
تراكم → توتر → تفريغ → استقرار → تراكم جديد
عندما تتراكم الشحنات (من خلال شموع قوية بحجم مرتفع) وتتجاوز "السعة الكهربائية" عتبة معيّنة، يُصدر المؤشر تنبيه "⚡ DISCHARGE IMMINENT" — أي أن انفجارًا سعريًّا وشيكًا، مما يمنح المتداول فرصة الدخول قبل بدء الحركة.
█ الميزة التنافسية
- تنبؤ استباقي (ليس تأكيديًّا بعد الحدث)
- فلترة ذكية متعددة الطبقات تقلل الإشارات الكاذبة
- تمثيل بصري ثلاثي الأبعاد متحرك يجعل قراءة الحالة السعرية فورية وبديهية — دون حاجة لتحليل أرقام
█ الأساس النظري الفيزيائي
المؤشر لا يستخدم مصطلحات فيزيائية للزينة، بل يُطبّق القوانين الرياضية مع تعديلات سوقيّة دقيقة:
⚡ قانون كولوم (Coulomb's Law)
الفيزياء: F = k × (q₁ × q₂) / r²
السوق: شدة الحقل = 4 × norm_positive × norm_negative
تصل لذروتها عند التوازن (0.5 × 0.5 × 4 = 1.0)، وتنخفض عند الهيمنة — لأن الصراع يزداد عند التكافؤ.
⚡ قانون أوم (Ohm's Law)
الفيزياء: V = I × R
السوق: الجهد = norm_positive − norm_negative
يقيس ميزان القوى:
- +1 = هيمنة شرائية مطلقة
- −1 = هيمنة بيعية مطلقة
- 0 = توازن
⚡ السعة الكهربائية (Capacitance)
الفيزياء: C = Q / V
السوق: السعة = |الجهد| × شدة الحقل
تمثّل الطاقة المخزّنة القابلة للتفريغ — تزداد عند وجود تحيّز مع تفاعل عالي.
⚡ التفريغ الكهربائي (Discharge)
الفيزياء: يحدث عند تجاوز عتبة العزل
السوق: احتمال التفريغ = min(السعة / عتبة التفريغ, 1.0)
عندما ≥ 0.9: "⚡ DISCHARGE IMMINENT"
📌 ملاحظة جوهرية:
أقصى سعة لا تحدث عند الهيمنة المطلقة (حيث شدة الحقل = 0)، ولا عند التوازن التام (حيث الجهد = 0)، بل عند انحياز متوسط (±30–50%) مع تفاعل عالي (شدة حقل > 25%) — أي في لحظات "الضغط قبل الاختراق".
█ آلية الحساب التفصيلية
⚡ المرحلة 1: قطبية الشمعة
polarity = (close − open) / (high − low)
- +1.0: شمعة صاعدة كاملة (ماروبوزو صاعد)
- −1.0: شمعة هابطة كاملة (ماروبوزو هابط)
- 0.0: دوجي (لا قرار)
- القيم الوسيطة: تمثّل نسبة جسم الشمعة إلى مداها — مما يقلّل تأثير الشموع ذات الظلال الطويلة
⚡ المرحلة 2: وزن الحجم
vol_weight = volume / SMA(volume, lookback)
شمعة بحجم 150% من المتوسط = شحنة أقوى بـ 1.5 مرة
⚡ المرحلة 3: معامل التكيف (Adaptive Factor)
adaptive_factor = ATR(lookback) / SMA(ATR, lookback × 2)
- في الأسواق المتقلبة: يزيد الحساسية
- في الأسواق الهادئة: يقلل الضوضاء
- يوصى دائمًا بتركه مفعّلًا
⚡ المرحلة 4–6: تراكم وتوحيد الشحنات
تُجمّع الشحنات على lookback شمعة، ثم تُوحّد النسب:
norm_positive = positive_charge / total_charge
norm_negative = negative_charge / total_charge
بحيث: norm_positive + norm_negative = 1 — لتسهيل المقارنة
⚡ المرحلة 7: حسابات الحقل
voltage = norm_positive − norm_negative
field_intensity = 4 × norm_positive × norm_negative × field_sensitivity
capacitance = |voltage| × field_intensity
discharge_prob = min(capacitance / discharge_threshold, 1.0)

█ التمثيل البصري: لغة بصرية لتشخيص الحالة السعرية
✨ الفلسفة التصميمية
التمثيل ليس "زينة"، بل نموذج معرفي متكامل — كل عنصر يحمل معلومة، وتفاعل العناصر يروي قصة كاملة.
العقل يدرك التغيير في الحجم، اللون، والحركة أسرع بـ 60,000 مرة من قراءة الأرقام — لذا يمكنك "الإحساس" بالتغير قبل أن تُنهي العين المسح.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟢 القطب الموجب (الكرة الخضراء — يسار)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ماذا يمثّل؟
تراكم ضغط الشراء النشط — ليس مجرد اتجاه صاعد، بل قوة طلب حقيقية مدعومة بحجم وتقلّب.
● الحجم المتغير
حجم = pole_size × (0.7 + norm_positive × 0.6)
- 70% من الحجم الأساسي = لا شحنة تُذكر
- 130% من الحجم الأساسي = هيمنة تامة
- كلما كبرت الكرة: زاد تفوّق المشترين، وارتفع احتمال الاستمرار الصعودي
تفسير الحجم:
- كرة كبيرة (>55%): ضغط شراء قوي — المشترون يسيطرون
- كرة متوسطة (45–55%): توازن نسبي مع ميل للشراء
- كرة صغيرة (<45%): ضعف ضغط الشراء — البائعون يسيطرون
● الإضاءة والشفافية
- شفافية 20% (عند Bias = +1): القطب نشط حالياً — الاتجاه صعودي
- شفافية 50% (عند Bias ≠ +1): القطب غير نشط — ليس الاتجاه السائد
الإضاءة = النشاط الحالي، بينما الحجم = التراكم التاريخي
● التوهج الداخلي النابض
كرة أصغر تنبض تلقائيًّا عند Bias = +1:
inner_pulse = 0.4 + 0.1 × sin(anim_time × 3)
يرمز إلى استمرارية تدفق أوامر الشراء — وليس هيمنة جامدة.
● الحلقات المدارية
حلقتان تدوران بسرعات واتجاهات مختلفة:
- الداخلية: 1.3× حجم الكرة — نطاق التأثير المباشر
- الخارجية: 1.6× حجم الكرة — نطاق التأثير الممتد
تمثّل "نطاق تأثير" المشترين:
- الدوران المستمر = استقرار وزخم
- التباطؤ = نفاد الزخم
● النسبة المئوية
تظهر تحت الكرة: norm_positive × 100
- >55% = هيمنة واضحة
- 45–55% = توازن
- <45% = ضعف
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔴 القطب السالب (الكرة الحمراء — يمين)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ماذا يمثّل؟
تراكم ضغط البيع النشط — سواء كان بيعًا تراكميًّا (التوزيع الذكي) أو بيعًا هستيريًّا (تصفية مراكز).
● الديناميكيات البصرية
نفس آلية الحجم والإضاءة والتوهج الداخلي — لكن باللون الأحمر.
الفرق الجوهري:
- الدوران معكوس (عكس اتجاه عقارب الساعة)
- يُميّز بصريًّا بين "تدفق الشراء" و"تدفق البيع"
- يسمح بقراءة الاتجاه بنظرة واحدة — حتى للمصابين بعَمَى الألوان
📌 ملخص قراءة القطبين:
🟢 كرة خضراء كبيرة + مضيئة = قوة شرائية نشطة
🔴 كرة حمراء كبيرة + مضيئة = قوة بيعية نشطة
🟢🔴 كرتان كبيرتان لكن خافتتان = تراكم طاقة (قبل التفريغ)
⚪ كرتان صغيرتان = ركود / سيولة منخفضة
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔵 خطوط الحقل (الخطوط الزرقاء المنحنية)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ماذا تمثّل؟
مسارات تدفق الطاقة بين القطبين — أي الساحة التي تُدار فيها المعركة السعرية.
● عدد الخطوط
4–16 خط (الافتراضي: 8)
كلما زاد العدد: زاد إحساس "كثافة التفاعل"
● ارتفاع القوس
arc_h = (i − half_lines) × 15 × field_intensity × 2
- شدة حقل عالية = خطوط شديدة الارتفاع (مثل موجة)
- شدة منخفضة = خطوط شبه مستقيمة
● الشفافية المتذبذبة
transp = 30 + phase × 40
حيث phase = sin(anim_time × 2 + i × 0.5) × 0.5 + 0.5
تخلق وهم "تيّار متدفّق" — وليس خطوطًا ثابتة
● الانحناء غير المتناظر
- الخطوط العلوية تنحني لأعلى
- الخطوط السفلية تنحني لأسفل
- يُضفي عمقًا ثلاثي الأبعاد ويُظهر اتجاه "الضغط"
⚡ تلميح احترافي:
عندما ترى الخطوط "تتقلّص" فجأة (تستقيم)، بينما الكرتان كبيرتان — فهذا مؤشر مبكر على قرب التفريغ، لأن التفاعل بدأ يفقد مرونته.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚪ الجزيئات المتحركة
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ماذا تمثّل؟
تدفق السيولة الحقيقية في السوق — أي من يدفع السعر الآن.
● العدد والحركة
- 6 جزيئات تغطي معظم خطوط الحقل
- تتحرك جيبيًّا على طول القوس:
t = (sin(phase_val) + 1) / 2
- سرعة عالية = نشاط تداول عالي
- تجمّع عند قطب = سيطرة هذا الطرف
● تدرج اللون
من أخضر (عند القطب الموجب) إلى أحمر (عند السالب)
يُظهر "تحوّل الطاقة":
- جزيء أخضر = طاقة شرائية نقية
- جزيء برتقالي = منطقة صراع
- جزيء أحمر = طاقة بيعية نقية
📌 كيف تقرأها؟
- تحركت من اليسار لليمين (🟢 → 🔴): تدفق شرائي → دفع صعودي
- تحركت من اليمين لليسار (🔴 → 🟢): تدفق بيعي → دفع هبوطي
- تجمّعت في المنتصف: صراع متكافئ — انتظر اختراقًا
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟠 منطقة التفريغ (التوهج البرتقالي — المركز)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ماذا تمثّل؟
نقطة تراكم الطاقة المخزّنة التي لم تُفرّغ بعد — قلب نظام الإنذار المبكر.
● مراحل التوهج
إنذار أولي (discharge_prob > 0.3):
- دائرة برتقالية خافتة (شفافية 70%)
- المعنى: راقب، لا تدخل بعد
توتر عالي (discharge_prob ≥ 0.7):
- توهج أقوى + نص "⚠️ HIGH TENSION"
- المعنى: استعد — ضع أوامر معلقة
تفريغ وشيك (discharge_prob ≥ 0.9):
- توهج ساطع + نص "⚡ DISCHARGE IMMINENT"
- المعنى: ادخل مع الاتجاه (بعد تأكيد شمعة)
● تأثير التوهج الطبقي (Glow Layering)
3 دوائر متحدة المركز بشفافية متزايدة:
- داخلي: 20%
- وسط: 35%
- خارجي: 50%
النتيجة: هالة (Aura) واقعية تشبه التفريغ الكهربائي الحقيقي.
📌 لماذا في المركز؟
لأن التفريغ يبدأ دائمًا من منطقة التوازن النسبي — حيث يلتقي الضغطان المتعاكسان.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 مقياس الجهد (أسفل المشهد)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ماذا يمثّل؟
مؤشر رقمي مبسّط لفرق الجهد — لمن يفضّل القراءة العددية.
● المكونات
- الشريط الرمادي: النطاق الكامل (−100% إلى +100%)
- التعبئة الخضراء: جهد موجب (تمتد لليمين)
- التعبئة الحمراء: جهد سالب (تمتد لليسار)
- رمز البرق (⚡): فوق المركز — تذكير بأنه "مقياس كهربائي"
- القيمة النصية: مثل "+23.4%" — بلون الاتجاه
● تفسير قراءات الجهد
+50% إلى +100%:
هيمنة شرائية ساحقة — احذر التشبع، قد يسبق تصحيح
+20% إلى +50%:
هيمنة شرائية قوية — مناسب للشراء مع الاتجاه
+5% إلى +20%:
ميل صعودي خفيف — انتظر تأكيدًا إضافيًّا
−5% إلى +5%:
توازن/حياد — تجنّب الدخول أو انتظر اختراقًا
−5% إلى −20%:
ميل هبوطي خفيف — انتظر تأكيدًا
−20% إلى −50%:
هيمنة بيعية قوية — مناسب للبيع مع الاتجاه
−50% إلى −100%:
هيمنة بيعية ساحقة — احذر التشبع، قد يسبق ارتداد
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 مؤشر شدة الحقل (أعلى المشهد)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ما يعرضه: "Field: XX.X%"
الدلالة: قوة الصراع بين المشترين والبائعين.
● تفسير القراءات
0–5%:
- المظهر: خطوط مستقيمة تقريبًا، شفافة
- المعنى: سيطرة تامة لأحد الطرفين
- الاستراتيجية: تتبع الترند (Trend Following)
5–15%:
- المظهر: انحناء خفيف
- المعنى: اتجاه واضح مع مقاومة خفيفة
- الاستراتيجية: الدخول مع الاتجاه
15–25%:
- المظهر: انحناء متوسط، خطوط واضحة
- المعنى: صراع متوازن
- الاستراتيجية: تداول النطاق أو الانتظار
25–35%:
- المظهر: انحناء عالي، كثافة واضحة
- المعنى: صراع قوي، عدم يقين عالي
- الاستراتيجية: تداول التقلّب أو الاستعداد للتفريغ
35%+:
- المظهر: خطوط عالية جدًّا، توهج قوي
- المعنى: ذروة التوتر
- الاستراتيجية: أفضل فرص التفريغ
📌 العلاقة الذهبية:
أعلى احتمال تفريغ عندما:
شدة الحقل (25–35%) + جهد (±30–50%) + حجم مرتفع
← هذه هي "المنطقة الحمراء" التي يجب مراقبتها بدقة.
█ قراءة التمثيل البصري الشاملة
لقراءة حالة السوق بنظرة واحدة، اتبع هذا التسلسل:
الخطوة 1: أي كرة أكبر؟
- 🟢 الخضراء أكبر ← ضغط شراء مهيمن
- 🔴 الحمراء أكبر ← ضغط بيع مهيمن
- متساويتان ← توازن/صراع
الخطوة 2: أي كرة مضيئة؟
- 🟢 الخضراء مضيئة ← اتجاه صعودي حالي
- 🔴 الحمراء مضيئة ← اتجاه هبوطي حالي
- كلاهما خافت ← حياد/لا اتجاه واضح
الخطوة 3: هل يوجد توهج برتقالي؟
- لا يوجد ← احتمال تفريغ <30%
- 🟠 توهج خافت ← احتمال تفريغ 30–70%
- 🟠 توهج قوي مع نص ← احتمال تفريغ >70%
الخطوة 4: ما قراءة مقياس الجهد؟
- موجب قوي ← تأكيد الهيمنة الشرائية
- سالب قوي ← تأكيد الهيمنة البيعية
- قريب من الصفر ← لا اتجاه واضح

█ إشارات التداول
⚡ DISCHARGE IMMINENT (التفريغ الوشيك)
شروط الظهور:
- discharge_prob ≥ 0.9
- اجتياز جميع الفلاتر المفعّلة
- Confirmed (بعد إغلاق الشمعة)
التفسير:
- تراكم طاقة كبير جدًّا
- الضغط وصل لمستوى حرج
- انفجار سعري متوقع خلال 1–3 شموع
كيفية التداول:
1. حدد اتجاه الجهد:
• موجب = توقع صعود
• سالب = توقع هبوط
2. انتظر شمعة تأكيدية:
• للصعود: شمعة صاعدة تغلق فوق افتتاحها
• للهبوط: شمعة هابطة تغلق تحت افتتاحها
3. الدخول: مع افتتاح الشمعة التالية
4. وقف الخسارة: وراء آخر قاع/قمة محلية
5. الهدف: نسبة مخاطرة/عائد 1:2 على الأقل
✅ نصائح احترافية:
- أفضل النتائج عند دمجها مع مستويات الدعم/المقاومة
- تجنّب الدخول إذا كان الجهد قريبًا من الصفر (±5%)
- زِد حجم المركز عند شدة حقل > 30%
⚠️ HIGH TENSION (التوتر العالي)
شروط الظهور:
- 0.7 ≤ discharge_prob < 0.9
التفسير:
- السوق في حالة تراكم طاقة
- احتمال حركة قوية قريبة، لكن ليست فورية
- قد يستمر التراكم أو يحدث تفريغ
كيفية الاستفادة:
- الاستعداد: حضّر أوامر معلقة عند الاختراقات المحتملة
- المراقبة: راقب الشموع التالية بحثًا عن شمعة دافعة
- الانتقاء: لا تدخل كل إشارة — اختر تلك التي تتوافق مع الاتجاه العام
█ استراتيجيات التداول
📈 استراتيجية 1: تداول التفريغ (الأساسية)
المبدأ: الدخول عند "DISCHARGE IMMINENT" في اتجاه الجهد
الخطوات:
1. انتظر ظهور "⚡ DISCHARGE IMMINENT"
2. تحقق من اتجاه الجهد (+/−)
3. انتظر شمعة تأكيدية في اتجاه الجهد
4. ادخل مع افتتاح الشمعة التالية
5. وقف الخسارة وراء آخر قاع/قمة
6. الهدف: نسبة 1:2 أو 1:3
نسبة نجاح عالية جدًّا عند الالتزام بشروط التأكيد.
📈 استراتيجية 2: تتبع الهيمنة
المبدأ: التداول مع القطب المهيمن (الكرة الأكبر والأكثر إضاءة)
الخطوات:
1. حدد القطب المهيمن (الأكبر حجماً والأكثر إضاءة)

### **1. Moving Average System (Triple MA)**
**Purpose:** Identifies trend direction and momentum
- **Fast MA (20-period)** - Short-term price action
- **Medium MA (50-period)** - Intermediate trend
- **Slow MA (200-period)** - Long-term trend direction
**How it works:**
- **Bullish alignment**: MA20 > MA50 > MA200 (all pointing up)
- **Bearish alignment**: MA20 < MA50 < MA200 (all pointing down)
- **Crossover signals**: When Fast MA crosses Medium MA, it triggers buy/sell signals
- **Choice of SMA or EMA**: Adjustable based on preference
**Visual indicators:**
- Blue line = Fast MA
- Orange line = Medium MA
- Light red line = Slow MA
- Green background tint = Bullish trend
- Red background tint = Bearish trend
---
### **2. Candlestick Pattern Recognition (13 Patterns)**
**Purpose:** Identifies reversal and continuation signals based on price action
#### **Bullish Patterns (Signal potential upward moves):**
1. **Hammer** 🔨
- Long lower wick (2x body size)
- Small body at top
- Indicates rejection of lower prices (buyers stepping in)
- Best at support levels
2. **Inverted Hammer**
- Long upper wick
- Small body at bottom
- Shows buying pressure despite initial selling
3. **Bullish Engulfing** 📈
- Green candle completely engulfs previous red candle
- Strong reversal signal
- Body must be 1.2x larger than previous
4. **Morning Star** ⭐
- 3-candle pattern
- Red candle → Small indecision candle → Large green candle
- Powerful reversal at bottoms
5. **Piercing Line** ⚡
- Green candle closes above 50% of previous red candle
- Indicates strong buying interest
6. **Bullish Marubozu**
- Almost no wicks (95% body)
- Very strong bullish momentum
- Body must be 1.3x average size
#### **Bearish Patterns (Signal potential downward moves):**
7. **Shooting Star** 💫
- Long upper wick
- Small body at bottom
- Indicates rejection of higher prices (sellers in control)

**Detection Logic:**
- Compares body size, wick ratios, and position relative to previous candles
- Uses 14-period average body size as reference
- All patterns validated against volume confirmation
***
### **3. Chart Pattern Recognition**
**Purpose:** Identifies major support/resistance and reversal patterns
#### **Patterns Detected:**
**Double Bottom** 📊 (Bullish)
- Two lows at approximately same level
- Indicates strong support
- Breakout above neckline triggers buy signal
- Most reliable at major support zones
**Double Top** 📊 (Bearish)
- Two highs at approximately same level
- Indicates strong resistance
- Breakdown below neckline triggers sell signal
- Most reliable at major resistance zones
**Support & Resistance Levels**
- Automatically plots recent pivot highs (resistance)
- Automatically plots recent pivot lows (support)
- Uses 3-bar strength for validation
- Levels shown as dashed horizontal lines
**Price Action Patterns**
- **Uptrend detection**: Higher highs + higher lows
- **Downtrend detection**: Lower highs + lower lows
- Confirms overall market structure
***
### **4. Volume Analysis**
**Purpose:** Confirms signal strength and filters false signals
**Metrics tracked:**
- **Volume MA (20-period)**: Baseline average volume
- **High volume threshold**: 1.5x the volume average
- **Volume increase**: Current volume > previous 2 bars
**How it's used:**
- All buy/sell signals **require volume confirmation**
- High volume = institutional participation
- Low volume signals are filtered out
- Prevents whipsaw trades during quiet periods
**Visual indicator:**
- Dashboard shows "High" volume in orange when active
- "Normal" shown in gray during low volume
***
### **5. Signal Generation Logic**
**BUY SIGNALS triggered when ANY of these occur:**
1. **Candlestick + Volume**
- Bullish candle pattern detected
- High volume confirmation
- Price above Fast MA
2. **MA Crossover + Volume**
- Fast MA crosses above Medium MA
- High volume confirmation
3. **Double Bottom Breakout**
- Price breaks above support level
- Volume confirmation present
4. **Trend Continuation**
- Uptrend structure intact (higher highs/lows)
- All MAs in bullish alignment
- Price above Fast MA
- Volume confirmation
**SELL SIGNALS triggered when ANY of these occur:**
1. **Candlestick + Volume**
- Bearish candle pattern detected
- High volume confirmation
- Price below Fast MA
2. **MA Crossunder + Volume**
- Fast MA crosses below Medium MA
- High volume confirmation
3. **Double Top Breakdown**
- Price breaks below resistance level
- Volume confirmation present
4. **Trend Continuation**
- Downtrend structure intact (lower highs/lows)
- All MAs in bearish alignment
- Price below Fast MA
- Volume confirmation
***
### **6. Risk Management System**
**Automatic Stop Loss Calculation:**
- Based on ATR (Average True Range) - 14 periods
- **Formula**: Entry price ± (ATR × SL Multiplier)
- **Default multiplier**: 1.5 (adjustable)
- Adapts to market volatility automatically
**Automatic Take Profit Calculation:**
- **Formula**: Entry price ± (ATR × TP Multiplier)
- **Default multiplier**: 2.5 (adjustable)
- **Default Risk:Reward ratio**: 1:1.67
- Higher TP multiplier = more aggressive targets
**Position Management:**
- Tracks ONE position at a time (no pyramiding)
- Automatically closes position when:
- Stop loss is hit
- Take profit is reached
- Opposite MA crossover occurs
- Prevents revenge trading and over-leveraging
**Visual Representation:**
- **Red horizontal line** = Stop Loss level
- **Green horizontal line** = Take Profit level
- Lines remain on chart while position is active
- Automatically disappear when position closes
