Divergence Detector [TradingFinder] RSI + MACD + AO Oscillator 🔵 Introduction
🟣 Understanding Divergence
As mentioned, divergence occurs in technical analysis when a stock's price behaves contrary to indicators on the price chart. Divergence can signify either a reversal of the stock's trend or a continuation of the previous trend correction.
Divergences can act as reversal patterns or continuation patterns. Moreover, divergences can be utilized to identify potential support and resistance levels.
For instance, when an indicator is trending upwards and positive, but the price is declining and trending downwards, divergence occurs. Divergence in a stock indicates trader indecision in buying and selling and warns traders to reconsider their decisions regarding buying or holding the stock.
Divergence aids analysts in identifying critical price points. In indicator divergences, it serves as a potent signal in the realm of technical analysis.
🟣 Types of Divergence
1.Regular Divergence
o Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
o Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
2.Hidden Divergence
o Positive Hidden Divergence (HD+)
o Negative Hidden Divergence (HD-)
3.Time Divergence
Key Note : This indicator is specifically designed to identify "Regular Divergence" only. Therefore, the following explanation pertains to this type of divergence.
🔵 Regular Divergence/Convergence
Regular Divergence(Convergence) occurs due to conflicting behavior between the indicator and the price chart, typically at the end of a trend. Recognizing Regular Divergence suggests an anticipation of a trend reversal or a pattern resembling a reversal.
🟣 Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
In contrast to negative divergence, positive Regular Divergence occurs at the end of a downtrend and between two price lows. It manifests when the price forms a new low on the price chart, but the indicator fails to recognize it.
Positive Regular Divergence indicates strong buying pressure and weak selling pressure. Following the identification of positive divergence on the chart, one can anticipate a price increase for the examined stock.
🟣 Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
This type of Regular Divergence emerges between two price highs during an uptrend. A new high is formed on the price chart, but the indicator fails to acknowledge it. This scenario indicates negative Regular Divergence.
The likelihood of a subsequent market downturn is high. Negative divergence signifies strong selling pressure and weak buying pressure, suggesting an unfavorable future for the stock.
🔵 How to use
By utilizing the "Fractal Period" input, you can specify your desired periods for identifying divergences.
Additionally, through the "Divergence Detect Method" feature, you can choose which oscillators (MACD, RSI, or AO) to base divergence identification on.
Divergence in MACD Oscillator :
Divergence in the MACD indicator occurs when the price chart and the MACD line form a noticeable opposing pattern, meaning the price moves contrary to the MACD line. In this scenario, one expects a reversal in price direction.
Divergence in RSI Oscillator :
If divergence occurs during a downtrend on the price chart (two consecutive lows, with the second low being lower) and on the corresponding RSI point (two consecutive lows, with the second low being higher), it signifies positive Regular Divergence and implies a buying signal.
Conversely, if divergence occurs during an uptrend on the price chart (two consecutive highs, with the second high being higher) and on the corresponding RSI point (two consecutive highs, with the second high being lower), it indicates negative Regular Divergence, signaling a selling opportunity.
Divergence in AO Oscillator :
The AO indicator calculates histograms similar to the AO base. It calculates the difference between the simple moving averages of 5 and 34 periods based on the median of each bar. Then, it plots the bars based on the difference.
It then compares the histograms to detect peaks and troughs in the AO histograms and compares the identified peaks and troughs to the price. Whenever divergence is detected, it plots lines and arrows.
🔵 Table
The table contains information on the functional features of this oscillator that you can utilize. Four categories of information are presented in the table: "Exist," "Consecutive," "Divergence Quality," and "Change Phase Indicator."
Exist :
If divergence exists, you'll see "+" in this row.
Consecutive :
Divergences may occur consecutively. If same-type divergences form within short intervals, you can observe the count in this row.
Divergence Quality : Based on the number of consecutive divergences, their quality can be evaluated. If one divergence exists, its quality is considered "Normal." If two divergences exist, the quality is "Good," and if three or more divergences exist, the quality is considered "Strong."
Change Phase Indicator : If a phase change occurs between two oscillation peaks formed based on divergence, this change is identified and displayed in this row.

Depending on whether you choose the anticipatory or repetitive forecast mode, the indicator either looks ahead to predict future prices based on past outcomes following similar patterns or focuses on the repeating patterns within the reference period itself for forecasts. The forecast's direction can be configured to reflect the mean average of forecasted prices or the end-point relative to the start-point of the forecast, offering flexibility in how forecasts are interpreted.
To enhance the comprehensiveness and visualization, the indicator features a forecast deviation cone. This cone represents the potential range of price movements, providing a visual cue for volatility and uncertainty in the forecasted prices. The intensity of this cone can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, offering a visual guide to the level of risk and uncertainty associated with the forecasted price path.

Sessions Lite [TradingFinder] New York, London, Asia, NYSE Forex🔵 Introduction
A trading session is one of the basic concepts in the financial market that refers to specific time periods. In fact, a session means hours during the day and night, during which traders in a certain part of the world conduct their transactions.
Although the "Forex" and "CFDs" market is open 24 hours a day and it is possible to trade in it, but in some hours the activity in this market decreases so much that many traders prefer not to trade and only watch the market. On the other hand, there are specific times when the market is very busy and dynamic, and many traders tend to trade during these hours of the day and night.
Trading sessions are usually divided into three main categories, which are "Asian", "European" and "North American" sessions. These trading sessions are also called the "Tokyo", "London" and "New York" sessions, respectively. But they also categorized these sessions in more detailed ways such as "Sydney session", "Shanghai session" or "NYSE session".
🔵 Tokyo trading session (Asian session)
After the weekend that happens on Saturday and Sunday, the Forex market starts with the Asian session. In this continent, most of the transactions are done in the Tokyo session, and for this reason, it is usually called the Asian session or the Tokyo session. However, other countries such as Australia, China and Singapore also do a lot of trading in this session.
The Tokyo session has a lower volume of transactions compared to the London and New York sessions, and therefore the liquidity is lower. In this session, most of the Forex currency pairs move in a price range. For this reason, different people use the ups and downs with the trading strategy in the range and get profit.
The low liquidity of the Tokyo session means that trading spreads are also higher during these hours. Besides, most of the transactions of this session are done in the early hours and at the same time as the planned news release.
In the Tokyo or Asia session, the best currency pairs to trade are the "Japanese yen", the "Australian dollar", and the "New Zealand dollar".
"Nikkei" index is also a good option for trading. If you trade in the Tokyo session, you should also be aware of the release of economic news and data from Australian, New Zealand and Japanese financial institutions.
🔵 London trading session (European session)
After the Asian session, it is time for the European session. In this period of time, transactions are very large and many European markets are involved. However, the European session is usually known as the London session.
Because of its specific time zone, London is not only known as the Forex trading center in Europe, but it is also known as the Forex trading center in the world. The London session overlaps with two other major trading sessions in the world, Asia and America. This means that most of the Forex transactions are done in this session. According to the latest statistics, 32% of Forex transactions are related to the London session, which shows that about a third of the activity performed in Forex takes place during this period.
This will increase the volume of Forex transactions and increase liquidity. An event that causes the spread of transactions to decrease. Of course, high liquidity also leads to greater volatility, which is desirable for many traders.
In the European session, the pound and euro currencies and the "DAX", "FTSE100", and "CAC40" indices are known as the best tradable assets. Also, traders of this session should pay attention to the news and data published by the "European Central Bank" and the "Bank of England". The news of countries like Germany, France and Italy are also very important.
🔵 American trading session (New York session)
When the New York session begins, several hours have passed since the end of the Tokyo session, but the European session is in the middle. In this session, they usually affect the financial activities carried out in America, but they also affect other countries such as Canada, Mexico and several South American countries.
The "US dollar" and stock indices such as "S&P", "Dow Jones" and "Nasdaq" are the most important assets that are traded in this session.
The early hours of the American session have a lot of liquidity and volatility due to the overlap with the European session, but with the end of the European session, the activity in the American session also decreases.
You can trade all major Forex currency pairs in the New York trading session. In this session, the "Federal Reserve", as the most important central bank in the world, is the institution that you should pay attention to its news and data.
The trading session indicator is an analytical tool in the financial markets that is used to display and analyze specific trading periods during a day. These indicators are generally useful for determining support and resistance levels during any trading session and for detecting different trading patterns.
For example, usually these indicators display the open and close price levels, the highest and lowest prices during a trading session. Also, you may notice various price patterns such as price channels, price phase phases and market trend changes during different trading sessions using these indicators.
🔵 cause of construction
In particular, the session light indicator version is designed and built for those traders who use many different tools on their chart at the same time. These traders can include "Volume Traders", "ICT traders", "Day Traders" and... These individuals can use "Session Lite" without disturbing the display of their other trading tools such as "Order Blocks", "Liquidity", "Zigzag", "FVG" etc.
But in general, there are several reasons for making tools like trading session indicators in financial markets, some of which include the following :
1. Analysis of specific time frames : Some traders and investors like to consider specific time frames for price analysis and review. For example, analyzing price changes during each trading session can help analyze trading patterns and identify trading opportunities.
2. Recognize different price patterns : Different price patterns may be observed during trading sessions. Trading session indicators can help to make better trading decisions by analyzing these patterns and their strengths and weaknesses.
3. Identifying Support and Resistance Levels : These tools may help to identify support and resistance levels during any trading session which can be helpful in deciding whether to enter or exit the market.
🔵 How to use
The Session Lite indicator displays 8 sessions by default. Asia session, Sydney session, Tokyo session, Shanghai session, Europe session, London session, New York session and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session are the sessions that are displayed.
You can activate or deactivate the display of each session by using the tick button next to the name of each session.
Two gray vertical dashes are also displayed by default, which indicate the beginning of the European session and the New York session. This feature is available for all sessions, but it is enabled by default only for these two sessions, and you can activate it for the rest of the session. You can enable or disable the display of this line by using the Start Session tick key.
Likewise, the information table is displayed by default, which includes the open or closed information of each session and the start and end times of each session. These timings are based on the UTC time zone.
Accordingly, the schedule of trading sessions is as follows :
Asia session from 23:00 to 06:00
Sydney session from 23:00 to 05:00
Tokyo session from 00:00 to 00:06
Shanghai session from 01:30 to 06:57
European session from 07:00 to 16:30
London session from 08:00 to 16:30
New York session from 13:00 to 22:00
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session from 14:30 to T 22:00
Important note : the beginning of the European session coincides with the opening of the Frankfurt market.
🔵 Settings

• At the end of the settings, you will see the "Info Table" option; By disabling this option, the "sessions" clock table displayed on the upper right side will be disabled.
ZigZag Multi [TradingFinder] Trend & Wave Lines - Structures🔵 Introduction
"Zigzag" is an indicator that forms based on price changes. Essentially, the function of this indicator is to connect consecutive and alternating High and Low pivots. This pattern assists in analyzing price changes and can also be used to identify classic patterns. "Zigzag" is an analytical tool that, by filtering partial price movements based on the specified period, can identify price waves across different time frames (short or long term).
🔵 Reason for Creation
The combination of "short term zigzag" and "long term zigzag" enhances accuracy and reduces analysis time. In a time frame, "long term zigzag" represents the main trend, while "short term zigzag" depicts short-term waves.
🔵 How to Use
After selecting the desired time frame and adding "zigzag" to the chart, begin utilization. Keep in mind to identify the main market trend from "long term zigzag" and the minor waves from "short term zigzag".
🟣 Important: Additionally, classic patterns such as HH, LH, LL, and HL can be recognized. All traders analyzing financial markets using classic patterns and Elliot Waves can benefit from the "zigzag" indicator to facilitate their analysis.
🔵 Settings
Short term zigzag : In this section, you can adjust settings such as time frame range, display mode, color, and line width of the zigzag lines.
Short term label : This section allows you to activate or deactivate the display of zigzag labels according to your needs. You can also customize their color and size.
Long term zigzag : Here, you can adjust settings for time frame range, display mode, color, and line width of zigzag lines.
Long term label : Similar to short term label settings.
The recommended time frame for "long term zigzag" is between 9 to 15, and for "short term zigzag" is between 3 to 5.
🟣 Important Notes :
Considering the different behaviors of financial markets and various time frames, it is recommended to experiment with different time frame settings when using "zigzag" to find the best settings for each symbol and time frame, thereby preventing potential errors.
🟣 Terminology Explanations :
"HH": When the price is higher than the previous peak (Higher High).
"HL": When the price is higher than the previous low (Higher Low).
"LH": When the price is lower than the previous peak (Lower High).
"LL": When the price is lower than the previous low (Lower Low).

LineBreakIntroduction:
The LineBreak Indicator is a technical tool designed to assist traders in identifying potential trend reversals or continuations using a unique charting method known as Line Break charts. This indicator overlays Line Break chart patterns on the main price chart and generates Buy and Sell signals based on specific price movements. In this guide, we will explore the LineBreak Indicator's functionality and how to utilize it effectively in your trading strategy.
Indicator Components:
The LineBreak Indicator comprises several components that work together to identify potential trade signals:
Line Break Chart Creation:
The script starts with an indicator declaration, "@version=5," followed by the creation of the LineBreak chart overlay on the main price chart. Line Break charts focus solely on price movements, omitting time entirely.
Line Break Chart Data Retrieval:
The indicator requests Line Break chart data using the "ticker.linebreak" function, which generates Line Break brick patterns based on a specified brick size (in this case, 3). The script then retrieves the Line Break open, high, low, and close prices for analysis.
Buy and Sell Signal Generation:
The script generates Buy and Sell signals using plotshape functions and specific conditions based on Line Break chart patterns. These patterns involve the relationship between consecutive brick prices and their opening prices.
Alert Conditions:
The script establishes alert conditions for both Buy and Sell signals. These alerts notify traders when specific Line Break chart patterns are detected, ensuring timely awareness of potential trading opportunities.
How to Use the LineBreak Indicator:
Line Break Chart Analysis:
Begin by understanding the Line Break chart patterns displayed on the main price chart. Line Break charts focus on price movements rather than time intervals. An upward Line Break brick suggests bullish momentum, while a downward brick indicates bearish momentum.
Buy Signal Interpretation:
Pay attention to Buy signals generated by the indicator. A Buy signal is triggered when specific Line Break brick conditions are met, indicating a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend. This suggests a potential opportunity to enter a long (Buy) trade.
Sell Signal Interpretation:
Likewise, be attentive to Sell signals produced by the indicator. A Sell signal occurs when predefined Line Break brick conditions are fulfilled, suggesting a potential reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend. This could signal a chance to enter a short (Sell) trade.
Alert Notifications:
To ensure you stay informed, set up alert conditions for Buy and Sell signals. Alerts can be customized to your preferences and communication channels, enabling you to promptly respond to potential trade setups.
Risk Management and Considerations:
Confirmation: While the LineBreak Indicator provides valuable insights, use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm signals.
Backtesting: Before deploying the indicator in live trading, perform comprehensive backtesting on historical data to assess its performance and suitability for your trading strategy.
Position Sizing: Determine appropriate position sizes based on your risk tolerance and the signals provided by the LineBreak Indicator. Avoid overleveraging your trades.
Market Awareness: Stay aware of market conditions and news events that could influence price movements. The LineBreak Indicator is a tool to enhance your decision-making process, not a standalone strategy.
Conclusion:
The LineBreak Indicator introduces a different perspective on price movements through its unique charting method. By interpreting Line Break chart patterns and acting on generated Buy and Sell signals, traders can make informed trading decisions. Practice proper risk management and integrate the LineBreak Indicator into a comprehensive trading strategy to achieve consistent and successful trading outcomes.
Please remember that this guide provides a high-level overview of the LineBreak Indicator and its usage. It's essential to thoroughly test and validate any trading strategy before implementing it in a live trading environment.
Clownpumps Higher/Lower Close Analysis (HLCA) IndicatorThe Clownpumps Higher/Lower Close Analysis" (HLCA) indicator offers a visual breakdown of the weekly behavior of a market, illustrating how often it closes higher or lower than its opening price. This comprehensive tool assists traders and analysts in pinpointing recurrent patterns that pertain to specific weekdays, forming a solid basis for a systematic trading strategy.
Features and Interpretation:
Color-Coded Analysis: The HLCA uses two intuitive colors to depict the daily trend:
Green: Indicates that, on average, the market closes higher than its opening price more frequently on that day.
Red: Highlights days when the market generally closes lower than its opening price.
Identifying Recurrent Patterns: Using the HLCA can reveal if a specific weekday consistently sees an asset closing higher or lower. For example, a consistent bullish sentiment on Mondays for a particular stock becomes easily observable.
Comparative Analysis: Deploying the HLCA across a range of assets can uncover trends that are either sector-wide or unique to individual stocks or cryptocurrencies.
Strategic Entry & Exit Points: Knowledge of which days an asset generally closes higher can guide traders in timing their market entries and exits.
Complementary to Other Tools: While the HLCA is a robust tool in itself, its true potential is unlocked when used in tandem with other market indicators. Pairing the daily closing patterns with volume data, for instance, can shed light on the strength of the observed trends.
Cautionary Notes:
Past behavior doesn't predict future performance. Always remember that correlation doesn't guarantee causation, especially when external market-shifting events come into play.
It's recommended to backtest any insights on historical data before committing to live trades.
Wyckoff Range StrategyThe Wyckoff Range Strategy is a trading strategy that aims to identify potential accumulation and distribution phases in the market using the principles of Wyckoff analysis. It also incorporates the detection of spring and upthrust patterns.
Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to use this strategy:
Understanding Accumulation and Distribution Phases:
Accumulation Phase: This is a period where smart money (large institutional traders) accumulates a particular asset at lower prices. It is characterized by a sideways or consolidating price action.
Distribution Phase: This is a period where smart money distributes or sells a particular asset at higher prices. It is also characterized by a sideways or consolidating price action.
Input Variables:
crossOverLength: This variable determines the length of the moving average crossover used to identify accumulation and distribution phases. You can adjust this value based on the market you are trading and the time frame you are analyzing.
stopPercentage: This variable determines the percentage used to calculate the stop loss level. It helps you define a predefined level at which you would exit a trade if the price moves against your position.
Strategy Conditions:
Enter Long: The strategy looks for a crossover of the close price above the SMA of the close price with a length of crossOverLength and a crossover of the low price above the SMA of the low price with a length of 20. This combination suggests the start of an accumulation phase and a potential buying opportunity.
Exit Long: The strategy looks for a crossunder of the close price below the SMA of the close price with a length of crossOverLength or a crossunder of the high price below the SMA of the high price with a length of 20. This combination suggests the end of an accumulation phase and a potential exit signal for long positions.
Enter Short: The strategy looks for a crossunder of the close price below the SMA of the close price with a length of crossOverLength and a crossunder of the high price below the SMA of the high price with a length of 20. This combination suggests the start of a distribution phase and a potential selling opportunity.
Exit Short: The strategy looks for a crossover of the close price above the SMA of the close price with a length of crossOverLength or a crossover of the low price above the SMA of the low price with a length of 20. This combination suggests the end of a distribution phase and a potential exit signal for short positions.
Stop Loss:
The strategy sets a stop loss level for both long and short positions. The stop loss level is calculated based on the stopPercentage variable, which represents the percentage of the current close price. If the price reaches the stop loss level, the strategy will automatically exit the position.
Plotting Wyckoff Schematics:
The strategy plots different shapes on the chart to indicate the identified phases and patterns. Green and red labels indicate the accumulation and distribution phases, respectively. Blue triangles indicate spring patterns, and orange triangles indicate upthrust patterns.
To use this strategy, you can follow these steps:

Some color is depends on chart contrast color.
Color is determined by trend or timeframe.
█ EXAMPLE OF USAGE / EXPLAINATION
Three Bar Gap (Simple Price Action - with 1 line plot)This script is tailored towards experienced traders who prefer to view raw price charts during live execution. It searches for a three-bar pattern of what is colloquially called "fair value gap", or "imbalance" and uses a single line to plot the results. The goal is to display price in a way that is as simple as possible so that chart readers who don't prefer to add indicators on their screen will still find this indicator as an acceptable option to consider for.
From a code perspective, this script explores a new PineScript feature called UDT (user-defined types). This is an incredible update because it brings developers one step close to having the ability to create abstract data types.
█ What is price action?
Experienced traders will tell you that the chart that they use for live execution is raw, clean, and uses no indicators. They say they execute on price action, so what exactly is price action?
There is no formal definition to it, but one can agree that it implies the process of analyzing price without considering the fundamentals, without needing to know what the news was about, and without needing to know any of the Greeks (except for the desire to “seek alpha” Ha.haa...). This is not to say that price action traders are executing in their own vacuums without the need to know what is happening around the world. Surely fundamentals and financial models can be used beforehand for developing a bias for what is being traded, but it’s price-first at the moment of execution. That said, Factor (A) is Price.
Factor (B) is time-perception, it’s how the trader reads the tape. How the trader perceives price to change with respect to time is valuable information. Interpretation of "time" will be elaborated in the next section that talks about candlestick patterns detected by this script.
Putting this together, price action means the analysis of price movement by only considering (A) price, and (B) time, to predict which direction the market will move. A speculative trader is timing the market with the expectation to make a quick in-and-out profit; she/she is using price action. On the other hand, a long term investor holding a diversified portfolio with a strategy based on modern portfolio theory combined with fundamental analysis (at this point candlesticks are irrelevant) but has one additional criteria of, say, can only go Long on a stock when it has closed Green on Daily; he/she is also considered to be executing on price action.
█ Candlestick patterns
This script calculates the displacement of highs and lows over three consecutive bars.
A) Down move = When High of the recent confirmed bar is lower than the Low of the previous-previous candle
B) Up move = When Low of the recent confirmed bar is higher than the High of the previous-previous candle
(Note that its the confirmed bar that is being talked about, so it does not repaint)
An ATR filter will be applied to reduce the number of lines generated as many times they might just be associated with minor price changes.
Interpretations:
When price moves quickly across three bars, it can be thought that it has gapped. Although the candle in the middle appears to be solid, it’s not from a conceptual perspective. This is because time itself is arbitrary; timeframes don’t necessarily have to be fixed intervals. Take stocks with regular trading hours for example, if price makes a breakaway gap and you bundle the after-hours and pre-market sessions together as one candle, never minding that intervals should be fixed, then you will see the exact three-bar-gap patterns. Similar happens during intraday sessions on lower timeframes, if you zoom-in closer, you’ll see that ticks within the middle candle are sparsely dispersed. This is why it's called a gap.
█ Parameters with fixed inputs & assumptions used:
ATR is used for filtering out minor movements that will likely be deemed as irrelevant by trader for the purpose of live execution. The following inputs are required:
A) ATR lookback period
B) Multiplier
The product of ATR(len=A) and B produces a threshold for minimum distance that price must gap by. Initially, it was proposed to be only based on one ATR, but often an ATR is too wide and using it will filter out too many lines. Because of this observation, a multiplier (Parameter B) has been introduced to allow users to apply fractional ATR as a threshold.
█ Applications:
For trend followers: Follow the direction of the gap. Entering above recent high/low points above/below the first impulse with a stop-limit order is a viable tactic.
For contrarians fading a trend: The mid-point is a good point of reference for predicting potential areas of support/resistance.
Nearest Neighbor Extrapolation of Price [Loxx]I wasn't going to post this because I don't like how this calculates by puling in the Open price, but I'm posting it anyway. This does work in it's current form but there is a. better way to do this. I'll revisit this in the future.
Anyway...
The k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm (k-NN) searches for k past patterns (neighbors) that are most similar to the current pattern and computes the future prices based on weighted voting of those neighbors. This indicator finds only one nearest neighbor. So, in essence, it is a 1-NN algorithm. It uses the Pearson correlation coefficient between the current pattern and all past patterns as the measure of distance between them. Also, this version of the nearest neighbor indicator gives larger weights to most recent prices while searching for the closest pattern in the past. It uses a weighted correlation coefficient, whose weight decays linearly from newer to older prices within a price pattern.
This indicator also includes an error window that shows whether the calculation is valid. If it's green and says "Passed", then the calculation is valid, otherwise it'll show a red background and and error message.
Inputs
Npast - number of past bars in a pattern;
Nfut -number of future bars in a pattern (must be < Npast).
lastbar - How many bars back to start forecast? Useful to show past prediction accuracy
barsbark - This prevents Pine from trying to calculate on all past bars

DECPDECP is simple and easy to use!
It detects bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns.
After detecting the patterns I've said, it mentions that the pattern is going to continue its direction to up or down.
But remember candlestick patterns don't determine targets and it's possible that predicted directions fail.
So use it carefully and enjoy it!
CT Market Fragility & Systemic Risk Monitor v1.0CT ⊕ Market Fragility & Systemic Risk Monitor v1.0
Systemic Stress & Market Regime Monitor
OVERVIEW
Wall Street-grade structural monitoring now open-source.
CT ⊕ Market Fragility & Systemic Risk Monitor v1.0 is a real-time systemic risk tool designed to detect fragility before it hits price. Built by former institutional traders, it delivers structural insight typically reserved for desks inside hedge funds and global macro desks.
This isn’t about finding entries or exits, it’s about understanding the environment you're trading in, and recognizing when it's shifting.
WHAT IT DOES
• Monitors six key market domains: Equities, Rates/Credit, FX (USD stress), Commodities, Crypto, and Macro
• Detects volatility stress, cross-domain coupling, and regime synchronization
• Classifies market structure into Normal → Fragile → Critical
• Shows a live dashboard with scores, coupling levels, and structural state
• Plots event markers (T1, T2, T3) for structural transitions
• Implements hysteresis logic to model post-stress 'memory
• Supports both single-domain ("Local Mode") and system-wide monitoring
HOW IT WORKS
This engine does not rely on traditional TA. No moving averages. No MACD. No patterns. No guesswork.
Instead, it measures how markets are behaving beneath price detecting when stress is:
• Building internally
• Spreading across domains
• Synchronizing into systemic fragility
T1 (🟠) — Early instability: acceleration in market coupling
T2 (🔵) — Fragile regime: multiple domains simultaneously stressed
T3 (🔴) — Critical regime: synchronized, system-wide stress
These are not buy/sell signals. They are structural regime alerts, the same kind used by institutions to cut risk before stress cascades.
WHY IT MATTERS
Most retail tools are reactive. They interpret surface-level patterns after the move.
This tool is different. It’s proactive – measuring pressure before it breaks structure.
Institutions have used structural fragility models like this for years. This script helps close that gap, giving everyday traders the same early warnings that pros use to reduce exposure and sidestep systemic blowups.
It’s not about finding the edge.
It’s about not getting crushed when the system breaks.
Whether you trade crypto, stocks, FX, or macro, this engine helps answer:
• Is the system stable right now?
• Are stress levels rising across markets?
• Is it time to tighten risk?
Institutions don’t wait for breakouts. They monitor structure.
Now, you can too.
KEY FEATURES
• Works on any asset class and any timeframe
• Fully customizable domain selection
• Three-tier structural alert system (T1–T3)
• Real-time dashboard: stress scores, states, and coupling levels
• Hysteresis modeling: post-stress “memory” detection
• Supports single-domain (local) or multi-domain (systemic) monitoring
• PineScript alerts built-in
RECOMMENDED USE
Active traders - all asset classes
Use the dashboard and T1–T3 alerts to stay aware of structural risk in real time.
Track multi-timeframe alignment to detect where risk originates and how it spreads across markets.
Crypto trader s
Monitor upstream domains (Equities, FX, Rates, Macro) to detect pressure before it reaches crypto.
Identify reflexive stress before Bitcoin reacts — and stay ahead of contagion events.
Macro & systematic traders
Use T1–T3 transitions as volatility filters, exposure governors, or dynamic risk overlays.
Build regime-aware models that adapt to shifting systemic conditions.
Examples & Visuals
Question: Would it have helped to know that at 9:30 on October 9th and again at 10:00 on October 10th that critical states were detected in the structural behavior of Bitcoin? Take a look:
30 min chart BTC shows two distinct T3 (critical) regime detections October 9th and 10:30 October 10th
5m BTC chart reveals high frequency instability for the same period, identifying instability, fragility, criticality
The 30minute BTC chart at 16:30 Friday October 10th,, a few hours after first detecting critical systemic risk

Kinetic EMA & Volume with State EngineKinetic EMA & Volume with State Engine (EMVOL)
1. Introduction & Concept
The EMVOL indicator converts a dense family of EMA signals and volume flows into a compact “state engine”. Instead of looking at individual EMA lines or simple crossovers, the script treats each EMA as part of a kinetic vector field and classifies the market into interpretable states:
- Trend direction and strength (from a grid of prime‑period EMAs).
- Volume regime (expansion, contraction, climax, dry‑up).
- Order‑flow bias via delta (buy versus sell volume).
- A combined scenario label that summarises how these three layers interact.
The goal is educational: to help traders see that moving averages and volume become more meaningful when observed as a structure, not as isolated lines. EMVOL is therefore designed as a real‑time teaching tool, not as an automatic signal generator.
2. Volume Settings
Group: “Volume Settings”
A. Calculation Method
- Geometry (Source File) – Default mode.
Buy and sell volume are estimated from each candle’s geometry: the close is compared to the high/low range and the bar’s total volume is split proportionally between buyers and sellers. This approximation works on any TradingView plan and does not require lower‑timeframe data.
- Intrabar (Precise) – Reconstructs buy/sell volume using a lower timeframe via requestUpAndDownVolume(). The script asks TradingView for historical intrabar data (e.g., 15‑second bars) and builds buy/sell volume and delta from that stream. This mode can produce a more accurate view of order flow, but coverage is limited by your account’s history limits and the symbol’s available lower‑timeframe data.
B. Intrabar Resolution (If Precise)
- Intrabar Resolution (If Precise) – Selected only when the calculation method is “Intrabar (Precise)”. It defines which lower timeframe (for example 15S, 30S, 1m) is used to compute up/down volume. Smaller intrabar timeframes may give smoother and more granular deltas, but require more historical depth from the platform.
When “Intrabar (Precise)” is active, the dashboard’s extended section shows the resolution and the number of bars for which precise volume has been successfully retrieved, in the format:
- Mode: Intrabar (15S) – where N is the count of bars with valid high‑resolution volume data.
In Geometry mode this counter simply reflects the processed bars in the current session.
3. Kinetic Vector Settings
Group: “Kinetic Vector”
A. Vector Window
- Vector Window – Controls the temporal smoothing applied to the aggregated vectors (trend, volume, delta, etc.). Internally, each bar’s vector value is averaged with a simple moving window of this length.
- Shorter windows make the state engine more reactive and sensitive to local swings.
- Longer windows make the states more stable and better suited to higher‑timeframe structure.
B. Max Prime Period
- Max Prime Period – Sets the largest prime number used in the EMA grid. The engine builds a family of EMAs on prime lengths (2, 3, 5, 7, …) up to this limit and converts their slopes into angles.
- A higher limit increases the number of long‑horizon EMAs in the grid and makes the vectors sensitive to broader structure.
- A lower limit focuses the analysis on short- and medium‑term behaviour.
C. Price Source
- Price Source – The price series from which the kinetic EMA grid is built (e.g., Close, HLC3, OHLC4). Changing the source modifies the context that the state engine is reading but does not change the core logic.
4. State Engine Settings
Group: “State Engine Settings”
These inputs define how the continuous vectors are translated into discrete states.
A. Trend Thresholds
- Strong Trend Threshold – Value above which the trend vector is treated as “extreme bullish” and below which it is “extreme bearish”.
- Weak Trend Threshold – Inner boundary between neutral and directional conditions.
Roughly:
- |trend| < weak → Neutral trend state.
- weak < |trend| ≤ strong → Bullish/Bearish.
- |trend| > strong → Extreme Bullish/Extreme Bearish.
B. Volume Thresholds
- Volume Climax Threshold – Upper bound at which volume is considered “climax” (unusually expanded participation).
- Volume Expansion Threshold – Boundary for normal expansion versus contraction.
Conceptually:
- Volume above “expansion” indicates increasing activity.
- Volume near or above “climax” marks extreme participation.
- Negative values below the symmetric thresholds map to contraction and extreme dry‑up (liquidity vacuum) states.
C. Delta Thresholds
- Strong Delta Threshold – Cut‑off for extreme buying or selling dominance in delta.
- Weak Delta Threshold – Threshold for mild buy/sell bias versus neutral order flow.
Combined with the sign of the delta vector, these thresholds classify order flow as:
- Extreme Buy, Buy‑Dominant, Neutral, Sell‑Dominant, Extreme Sell.
D. State Hysteresis Bars
- State Hysteresis Bars – Minimum number of bars for which a new state must persist before the engine commits to the change. This prevents the dashboard from flickering during fast spikes and emphasises persistent market behaviour.
- Smaller values switch states quickly; larger values demand more confirmation.
5. Visual Interface
Group: “Visual Interface”
A. Ribbon Base Color
- Ribbon Base Color – Base hue for the multi‑layer EMA ribbon drawn around price. The script plots a dense grid of hidden EMAs and fills the gaps between them to form a semi‑transparent band. Narrow, overlapping bands hint at compression; wider separation hints at dispersion across EMA horizons.
B. Show Dashboard
- Show Dashboard – Toggles the on‑chart table which summarises the current state engine output. Disable this if you only want to keep the EMA ribbon and volume‑based structure on the price chart.
C. Color Theme
- Color Theme – Switch between a dark and light style for the dashboard background and text colours so that the table matches your chart theme.
D. Table Position
- Table Position – Places the dashboard at any corner or edge of the chart (Top / Middle / Bottom × Left / Centre / Right).
E. Table Size
- Table Size – Changes the dashboard’s text size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large). Use a larger size on high‑resolution screens or when streaming.
F. Show Extended Info
- Show Extended Info – Adds diagnostic rows under the main state summary:
- Mode / Primes / Vector – Shows the current calculation mode (Geometry / Intrabar), the selected intrabar resolution and coverage in bars ( ), how many prime periods are active, and the vector window.
- Values – Displays the current aggregated vectors:
- P: price vector
- V: volume vector
- B: buy‑volume vector
- S: sell‑volume vector
- D: delta vector
Values are bounded between ‑1 and +1.
- Volume Stats – Prints the last bar’s raw buy volume, sell volume and delta as formatted numbers.
- Footer – A final row with the symbol and current time: #SYMBOL | HH:MM.
These extended rows are meant for inspecting how the engine is behaving under the hood while you scroll the chart and compare different assets or timeframes.
6. Language Settings
Group: “Language Settings”
- Select Language – Switches the entire dashboard between English and Turkish.
The underlying calculations and scenario logic are identical; only the labels, titles and comments in the table are translated.
7. Dashboard Structure & Reading Guide
The table summarises the current situation in a few rows:
1. System Header – Shows the script name and the active calculation method (“Geometry” or “Intrabar”).
2. Scenario Title – High‑level description of the current combined scenario (e.g., “Trending Buy Confirmed”, “Sideways Balanced”, “Bull Trap”, “Blow‑Off Top”). The background colour is derived from the scenario family (trending, compression, exhaustion, anomaly, etc.).
3. Bias / Trend Line – States the dominant trend bias derived from the trend vector (Extreme Bullish, Bullish, Neutral, Bearish, Extreme Bearish).
4. Signal / Consideration Line – A short sentence giving qualitative guidance about the current state (for example: continuation risk, exhaustion risk, trap‑like behaviour, or compression). This is deliberately phrased as a consideration, not as a direct trading signal.
5. Trend / Volume / Delta Rows – Three separate rows explain, in plain language, how the trend, volume regime and delta are classified at this bar.
6. Extended Info (optional) – Mode / primes / vector settings, current vector values, and last‑bar volume statistics, as described above.
Together, these rows are meant to be read as a narrative of what price, volume and order‑flow are doing, not as mechanical instructions.
8. State Taxonomy
The state engine organizes market behaviour in three stages.
8.1 Trend States (from the Price Vector)
- Extreme Bullish Trend – The prime‑grid price vector is strongly upward; most EMAs are aligned to the upside.
- Bullish Trend – Upward bias is present, but less extreme.
- Neutral Trend – EMAs are mixed or flat; price is effectively sideways relative to the grid.
- Bearish Trend – Downward bias, with the EMA grid sloping down.
- Extreme Bearish Trend – Strong downside alignment across the grid.
8.2 Volume Regime States (from the Volume Vector)
- Volume Climax (Buy‑Side) – Strong positive volume vector; participation is unusually high in the current direction.
- Volume Expansion – Activity above normal but below the climax threshold.
- Neutral Volume – No major expansion or contraction versus recent history.
- Volume Contraction – Activity is drying up compared with the past.
- Extreme Dry‑Up / Liquidity Vacuum – Very low participation; the market is thin and prone to slippage.
8.3 Delta Behaviour States (from the Delta Vector)
- Extreme Buy Delta – Buying pressure dominates strongly.
- Buy‑Dominant Delta – Buy volume exceeds sell volume, but not at an extreme.
- Neutral Delta – Buy and sell flows are roughly balanced.
- Sell‑Dominant Delta – Selling pressure dominates.
- Extreme Sell Delta – Aggressive, one‑sided selling.
8.4 Combined Scenario State s
EMVOL uses the three base states above to generate a single scenario label. These scenarios are designed to be read as context, not as entry or exit signals.
Trending Scenarios
1. Trending Buy Confirmed
- Bullish or extreme bullish trend, supported by expanding or climax volume and buy‑side delta.
- Educational idea: a healthy uptrend where both participation and order flow agree with the direction.
2. Trending Buy – Weak Volume
- Bullish trend, but volume is neutral, contracting or in dry‑up while delta is still buy‑side.
- Educational idea: price is advancing, yet participation is thinning; trend continuation becomes more fragile.
3. Trending Sell Confirmed
- Bearish or extreme bearish trend, with expanding or climax volume and sell‑side delta.
- Educational idea: strong downtrend with both volume and order‑flow confirmation.
4. Trending Sell – Weak Volume
- Bearish trend, but volume is neutral, contracting or very low while delta remains sell‑side.
- Educational idea: downside continues but with limited participation; vulnerable to short‑covering.
Sideways / Range Scenarios
5. Sideways Balanced
- Neutral trend, neutral delta, neutral volume.
- Classic range environment; low directional edge, suitable for observation and context rather than trend trading.
6. Sideways with Buy Pressure
- Neutral trend, but buy‑side delta is dominant or extreme.
- Range with latent accumulation: price may still appear sideways, but buyers are quietly more active.
7. Sideways with Sell Pressure
- Neutral trend with dominant or extreme sell‑side delta.
- Distribution‑like environment where price chops while sellers are gradually more aggressive.
Exhaustion & Volume Extremes
8. Exhaustion – Buy Risk
- Extreme bullish trend, volume climax and strong buy‑side delta.
- Educational idea: very strong up‑move where both participation and delta are already stretched; risk of exhaustion or blow‑off.
9. Exhaustion – Sell Risk
- Extreme bearish trend, volume dry‑up and strong sell‑side delta.
- Suggests one‑sided selling into increasingly thin liquidity.
10. Volume Climax (Buy)
- Neutral trend, neutral delta, but volume at climax levels.
- Often associated with a “big event” bar where participation spikes without a clear directional commitment.
11. Volume Climax (Sell / Dry‑Up)
- Neutral trend and neutral delta, while the volume vector indicates an extreme dry‑up.
- Highlights a stand‑still episode: very limited interest from both sides, increasing the sensitivity to future impulses.
Divergences
12. Divergence – Bullish Context
- Bullish or extreme bullish trend, but delta has faded back to neutral.
- Price trend continues while order‑flow conviction softens; can precede pauses or complex corrections.
13. Divergence – Bearish Context
- Bearish or extreme bearish trend with a neutral delta.
- Downtrend persists, but selling pressure no longer dominates as clearly.
Consolidation & Compression
14. Consolidation
- Default state when no specific pattern dominates and the market is broadly balanced.
- Educational use: treat this as a “no strong edge” label; focus on structure rather than direction.
15. Breakout Imminent
- Neutral trend with contracting volume.
- Compression phase where energy is building up; often precedes transitions into trending or shock scenarios.
Traps & Hidden Divergences
16. Bull Trap
- Bullish trend, with neutral or contracting volume and sell‑side delta.
- Price appears strong, but order‑flow shifts against it; often seen near fake breakouts or failing rallies.
17. Bear Trap
- Bearish trend, neutral or contracting volume, but buy‑side delta.
- Downtrend “looks” intact, while buyers become more aggressive underneath the surface.
18. Hidden Bullish Divergence
- Bullish trend, contracting volume, but strong buy‑side delta.
- Educational idea: price dips or slows while aggressive buyers step in, often inside an ongoing uptrend.
19. Hidden Bearish Divergence
- Bearish trend, volume expansion and strong sell‑side delta.
- Reinforced downside pressure even if price is temporarily retracing.
Reversal & Transition Patterns
20. Reversal to Bearish
- Neutral trend, volume climax and strong sell‑side delta.
- Suggests that heavy selling appears at the top of a move, turning a previously neutral or rising context into potential downside.
21. Reversal to Bullish
- Neutral trend, extreme volume dry‑up and strong buy‑side delta.
- Often associated with selling exhaustion where buyers start to take control.
22. Indecision Spike
- Neutral trend with extreme volume (climax or dry‑up) but neutral delta.
- Crowd participation changes sharply while order‑flow remains undecided; treat as an informational spike rather than a direction.
Extended Compression & Acceleration
23. Coiling Phase
- Neutral trend, contracting volume, and delta that is neutral or only mildly one‑sided.
- Extended compression where price, volume and delta all contract into a tightly coiled range, often preceding a strong move.
24. Bullish Acceleration
- Bullish trend with volume expansion and strong buy‑side delta.
- Uptrend not only continues but gains kinetic strength; educationally, this illustrates how trend, volume and delta align in the strongest phases of a move.
25. Bearish Acceleration
- Bearish trend with volume expansion and strong sell‑side delta.
- Mirror image of Bullish Acceleration on the downside.
Trend Exhaustion & Climax Reversal
26. Bull Exhaustion
- Bullish or extreme bullish trend, with contraction or dry‑up in volume and buy‑side or neutral delta.
- The move has already travelled far; participation fades while price is still elevated.
27. Bear Exhaustion
- Bearish or extreme bearish trend, with volume climax or contraction and sell‑side or neutral delta.
- Down‑move may be approaching a point where additional selling pressure has diminishing impact.
28. Blow‑Off Top
- Extreme bullish trend, volume climax and extreme buy delta all at once.
- Classic blow‑off behaviour: price, volume and order‑flow are simultaneously stretched in the same direction.
29. Selling Climax Reversal
- Extreme bearish trend with extreme volume dry‑up and extreme sell‑side delta.
- Marks a very aggressive capitulation phase that can precede major rebounds.
Advanced VSA / Anomaly Scenarios
30. Absorption
- Typically neutral trend with expanding or climax volume and extreme delta (either buy or sell).
- Educational focus: large participants are aggressively absorbing liquidity from the opposite side, while price remains relatively contained.
31. Distribution
- Scenario where volume remains elevated while directional conviction weakens and the trend slows.
- Represents potential “selling into strength” or “buying into weakness”, depending on the active side.
32. Liquidity Vacuum
- Combination of thin liquidity (extreme dry‑up) with a directional trend or strong delta.
- Highlights environments where even small orders can move price disproportionately.
33. Anomaly / Shock Event
- Triggered when the vector z‑scores detect rare combinations of price, volume and delta behaviour that deviate from their own historical distribution.
- Intended as a warning label for unusual events rather than a specific tradeable pattern.
9. Educational Usage Notes
- EMVOL does not produce mechanical “buy” or “sell” commands. Instead, it classes each bar into an interpretable state so that traders can study how trends, volume and order‑flow interact over time.
- A common exercise is to overlay your usual EMA crossovers, support/resistance or price patterns and observe which EMVOL scenarios appear around entries, exits, traps and climaxes.
- Because the vectors are normalized (bounded between ‑1 and +1) and then discretized, the same conceptual states can be compared across different symbols and timeframes.
10. Disclaimer & Educational Purpose
This indicator is provided strictly as an educational and analytical tool. Its purpose is to help visualise how price, volume and order‑flow interact; it is not designed to function as a stand‑alone trading system.
Please note:
1. No Automated Strategy – The script does not implement a complete trading strategy. Scenario labels and dashboard messages are descriptive and should not be followed as unconditional entry or exit signals.
2. No Financial Advice – All information produced by this indicator is general market analysis. It must not be interpreted as investment, financial or trading advice, or as a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.
3. Risk Warning – Trading and investing involve substantial risk, including the risk of loss. Always perform your own analysis, use appropriate position sizing and risk management, and consult a qualified professional if needed. You are solely responsible for any decisions made using this tool.
4. Data Precision & Platform Limits – The “Intrabar (Precise)” mode depends on the availability of high‑resolution historical data at the chosen intrabar timeframe. If your TradingView plan or the symbol’s history does not provide sufficient depth, this mode may only partially cover the visible chart. In such cases, consider switching to “Geometry (Source File)” for a fully populated view.
The Quantum Leap: Renko + ML(Note: This indicator uses the BackQuant & SuperTrend which takes a 4-5 seconds to load)
This strategy uses the following indicators (please see source code)
Synthetic Renko: Ignores time and focuses purely on price movement to detect clear trend reversals (Red-to-Green).
ATR (Average True Range): Measures volatility to calculate the Renko brick sizes and SuperTrend sensitivity.
Adaptive SuperTrend: A trend filter that uses volatility clustering to confirm if the market is currently in a "Bearish" state.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): A momentum gauge ensuring the asset is "Oversold" (exhausted) before we consider a setup.
Monthly Pivots: Horizontal support lines based on last month's data acting as price "floors" (S1, S2, S3).
SMA (Simple Moving Average): A 100-bar average ensuring we are strictly buying below the long-term mean (deep value).
BackQuant (KNN): A Machine Learning engine that compares current data to historical patterns to predict immediate momentum.
This is a sophisticated, multi-stage strategy script. It combines "Old School" price action (Renko) with "New School" Machine Learning (KNN and Clustering).
Here is the high-level summary of how we will break this down:
Topic 1: The "Bottom Hunter" Setup. How the script uses Renko bricks and aggressive filtering (SuperTrend, SMA, RSI, Pivots) to find a potential market bottom.
Topic 2: The ML Engine (BackQuant & SuperTrend). How the script uses K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) to predict momentum and Volatility Clustering to adjust the SuperTrend.
Topic 3: The "Leap" Execution. How the script synchronizes the Setup (Topic 1) with the ML Trigger (Topic 2) using a time window.
Topic 1: The "Bottom Hunter" Setup
This script is designed as a Mean Reversion strategy (often called "catching a falling knife" or "bottom fishing"). It is trying to find the exact moment a downtrend stops and reverses.
Most strategies buy when price is above the 200 SMA or above the SuperTrend. This script does the exact opposite.
The Logic:
Renko Bricks: It simulates Renko bricks internally (without changing your chart view). It waits for a specific pattern: A Red Brick followed immediately by a Green Brick (a reversal).
The "Bearish" Filters: To generate a "WATCH" signal, the following must be true:
Price < SuperTrend: The market must officially be in a downtrend.
Price < SMA: Long-term trend is down.
Price < Monthly Pivot: Price is deeply discounted.
RSI < Threshold: The asset is oversold (exhausted).
Recommended Settings for daily signals for Stocks :
Confirmation : 10. (How many bars after Renko Buy signal the AI has to identify a bullish move).
Percentage : 2 (This is the Renko bar size. This represents 2% move.)
SMA: 100 (Signal must be found below 100 SMA)
Price must be below: PIVOT (This is the monthly Pivot levels)
TTP IFVG Signals With EMA /ICT Gold scalpingThis script uses original logic and alerting rules. in Japan
finding ICT IFVG and EMA conditions.
#IFVG, Forex, ICT, EMA, Scalping, Indicator
This indicator automatically finds IFVG (Imbalance / Fair Value Gap) zones and gives you a buy or sell signal when price comes back and breaks out through that gap.
It also draws a colored box over the gap so you can see the zone visually, and it raises alerts when a new signal appears.
High-level logic:
On every bar, the script looks back up to “IFVG_GapBars” bars.
For each offset i it checks a 3-candle pattern:
– If the low of the newer candle is above the high of the older candle: bullish FVG (price jumped up, leaving a gap).
– If the high of the newer candle is below the low of the older candle: bearish FVG (price jumped down, leaving a gap).
When a valid FVG is found:
– For a bullish FVG it looks for a later close that breaks down through that gap (sell signal).
– For a bearish FVG it looks for a later close that breaks up through that gap (buy signal).
– A moving-average trend filter must agree (downtrend for sells, uptrend for buys).
– It checks that price has not already “filled” the gap before the breakout.
If all conditions are satisfied, it:
– Sets signal_dir = 1 for a buy, or -1 for a sell.
– Draws a box from the original FVG bar to the bar just before the breakout (extended a bit to the right), between the gap high and gap low.
– Plots an ▲ label for buys or ▼ label for sells.
– Triggers the corresponding alert conditions.
Now the parameters:
PipSizeMultilier (PipSizeManual)
Multiplies the symbol’s minimum tick size (syminfo.mintick).
It is used when converting “MinFVG_Pips” into an actual price distance.
If you feel the indicator is too sensitive (too many small gaps), you can increase this multiplier to effectively require a larger price difference.
TickSize
Internal value = syminfo.mintick * PipSizeMultiplier.
This is the actual price step the script uses as a “pip” when checking minimum gap size.
FVG Search Lookback (IFVG_GapBars)
How many bars back from the current bar the script will scan for a 3-candle FVG pattern.
Larger value = it can find older FVGs, but loop cost is higher.
Min FVG Size (Pips/Points) (MinFVG_Pips)
Minimum allowed size of the gap, measured in “pips/points” using TickSize.
If the vertical distance between the gap high and gap low is smaller than this, the gap is ignored.
0.0 means “no size filter” (every FVG is allowed).
FVG Epsilon (Price Units) (FVG_EpsPoints)
Tolerance for the FVG detection.
It is subtracted/added in the condition that checks “low > old high” or “high < old low”.
0.0 means strict gap (no overlap at all). A small positive epsilon allows tiny overlaps to still count as a gap.
Show IFVG Zones (ShowZones)
If true, the script draws a box over the IFVG zone when a signal is confirmed.
If false, no boxes are drawn; you only see the ▲ / ▼ markers and alerts.
Buy Zone Color (ZoneColorBuy)
Fill color and border color for boxes created from bearish FVGs that later produce a buy signal.
Sell Zone Color (ZoneColorSell)
Fill color and border color for boxes created from bullish FVGs that later produce a sell signal.
Box Extension (Bars) (BoxExtension)
How many extra bars to extend the right side of the box beyond the breakout bar.
The internal right coordinate is “bar_index - 1 + BoxExtension”.
Increase this if you want the zone to visually extend further into the future.
MA Period (MA_Period)
Lookback length of the moving average used as a trend filter.
MA Type (MA_Kind)
Type of moving average: “SMA” or “EMA”.
If SMA is chosen, the script uses ta.sma; if EMA, it uses ta.ema.
Moving-average filter behavior:
For sell signals (from bullish FVG): MA must be sloping down (MA < MA ) and price must be below MA.
For buy signals (from bearish FVG): MA must be sloping up (MA > MA ) and price must be above MA.
If these conditions are not satisfied, the FVG is ignored even if the gap and breakout conditions are met.
Signals and alerts:
signal_dir = 1 → buy signal, ▲ label below the bar, “IFVG Buy Alert” / “IFVG Buy/Sell Alert” can fire.
signal_dir = -1 → sell signal, ▼ label above the bar, “IFVG Sell Alert” / “IFVG Buy/Sell Alert” can fire.
signal_dir = 0 → no new signal on this bar.
In short:
This indicator finds 3-candle IFVG gaps, filters them by size and trend, waits for a clean breakout through the gap, draws a box on the original gap zone, and gives you a clear buy or sell signal plus alerts.
LJ Parsons Harmonic Time StampsPurpose of the Script
This script is designed to divide a specific time period on a market chart (from startDate to endDate) into fractional segments based on mathematically significant ratios. It then plots vertical lines at the first candle that occurs at or after each of these fractional timestamps. Each line is labeled according to an interval scheme, as outlined by LJ Parsons
"Structured Multiplicative, Recursive Systems in Financial Markets"
papers.ssrn.com
Providing a symbolic mapping of time fractions
zenodo.org
Start (00) and End (00): Marks the beginning and end of the period.
Intermediate labels (m2, M2, m3, M3, …): Represent divisions of the time period that correspond to specific fractions of the whole.
This creates a visual “resonance map” along the price chart, where the timing of price movements can be compared to mathematically significant points.
Parsons Market Resonance Theory proposes that markets move in patterns that are not random but resonate with underlying mathematical structures, analogous to logarithmic relationships. The key ideas reflected in this script are:
Temporal Fractional Resonance
By marking fractional points of a defined time period, the script highlights potential moments when market activity might “resonate” due to cyclical patterns. These points are analogous to overtones in music—certain times may have stronger market reactions.
Mapping Market Movements to "Just Intonation" Intervals
Assigning Interval labels to fractional timestamps provides a symbolic framework for understanding market behaviour. For example, the midpoint (P5) may correspond to strong market turning points, while minor or major intervals (m3, M6) might correspond to subtler movements.
Identifying Potentially Significant Points in Time
The plotted lines do not predict price direction but rather identify temporal markers where price movements may be more likely to display structured behaviour. Traders or researchers can then study price reactions around these lines for correlations with market resonance patterns.
In essence, the script turns a period of time into a harmonic structure, with each line and label acting like a “note” in the market’s temporal symphony. It’s a tool to visualize and test whether price behaviour aligns with the resonant fractions hypothesized in MRT.
Fibonacci Degree System This Pine Script creates a sophisticated technical analysis tool that combines Fibonacci retracements with a degree-based cycle system. Here's a comprehensive breakdown:
Core Concept
The indicator maps price movements onto a 360-degree circular framework, treating market cycles like geometric angles. It creates a visual "mesh" where Fibonacci ratios intersect in both price (horizontal) and time (vertical) dimensions.
How It Works
1. Finding Reference Points
The script looks back over a specified period (default 100 bars) to identify:
Highest High: The peak price point
Lowest Low: The trough price point
Time Locations: Exactly which bars these extremes occurred on
These two points form the boundaries of your analysis window.
2. Creating the Fibonacci Grid
Horizontal Lines (Price Levels):
The script divides the price range between high and low into seven key Fibonacci ratios:
0% (Low) - Bottom boundary in red
23.6% - Minor retracement in orange
38.2% - Shallow retracement in yellow
50% - Midpoint in lime green
61.8% - Golden ratio in aqua (most significant)
78.6% - Deep retracement in blue
100% (High) - Top boundary in purple
Each line represents a potential support/resistance level where price might react.
Vertical Lines (Time Cycles):
The same Fibonacci ratios are applied to the time dimension between the high and low bars. If your high and low are 50 bars apart, vertical lines appear at:
Bar 0 (0%)
Bar 12 (23.6%)
Bar 19 (38.2%)
Bar 25 (50%)
Bar 31 (61.8%)
Bar 39 (78.6%)
Bar 50 (100%)
These suggest when price might make significant moves.
3. The Degree Mapping System
The innovative feature maps the time progression to degrees:
0° = Start point (0% time)
85° = 23.6% through the cycle
138° = 38.2% through the cycle
180° = Midpoint (50%)
222° = 61.8% through the cycle (golden angle)
283° = 78.6% through the cycle
360° = Complete cycle (100%)
This treats market movements as circular patterns, similar to how planets orbit or pendulums swing.
Visual Output
When you apply this indicator, you'll see:
A rectangular mesh extending beyond your high-low range (by 150% default)
Color-coded horizontal lines showing price Fibonacci levels
Matching vertical lines showing time Fibonacci intervals
Price labels on the right showing percentage levels
Degree labels at the bottom showing the angular position in the cycle
Intersection points creating a grid of potentially significant price-time coordinates
Trading Application
Traders use this to identify:
Support/Resistance Zones: Where horizontal and vertical lines intersect
Time Targets: When price might reverse (at vertical Fibonacci times)
Cycle Completion: When approaching 360°, a new cycle may begin
Harmonic Patterns: Geometric relationships between price and time
Customization Features
The script offers extensive control:
Lookback period: Adjust cycle length (10-500 bars)
Mesh extension: How far to project the grid forward
Visual toggles: Show/hide horizontal lines, vertical lines, labels
Styling: Line thickness, style (solid/dashed/dotted), colors
Label positioning: Fine-tune text placement for readability
The intersection at 61.8% time and 61.8% price at 222° becomes a key target zone.
This tool essentially converts the abstract concept of market cycles into a concrete, visual geometric framework that traders can analyze and act upon.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Entering too early
Wait for actual breakout, not anticipation
"Forming" ≠ "Breakout"
❌ Ignoring volume
No volume = likely false breakout
Require 1.5x+ relative volume minimum
❌ Fighting the trend
Check EMA and VWAP status
Both should be ✓ for high probability
❌ Wide stops
Stop should be below pullback low
If stop is too wide, skip the trade
❌ Holding losers
"Breakout or bailout" - if it doesn't work, exit
Failed breakouts often reverse hard
❌ Chasing extended moves
If you missed entry, wait for next pattern
Don't chase 5+ candles after breakout
Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Risk Amount = Account × Risk % (typically 1-2%)
Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ (Entry - Stop)
Example:

Market Energy & Direction DashboardMarket Energy & Direction Dashboard - Daytrading
Overview
A comprehensive real-time market internals dashboard that combines NYSE TICK, NYSE Advance-Decline (ADD) momentum, VIX direction, and relative volume into a single visual traffic light system with intelligent signal synthesis. Designed for active daytraders who need instant confirmation of market direction and energy based on momentum alignment across all major internals.
What It Does
This indicator synthesizes multiple market internals using directional momentum analysis rather than static thresholds to provide clear, actionable signals:
• Traffic Light System: Single glance confirmation of market state
o Bright Green: Maximum bullish - all internals aligned (TICK + ADD rising + VIX falling + volume)
o Bright Red: Maximum bearish - all internals aligned (TICK + ADD falling + VIX rising + volume)
o Yellow: Exhaustion warning - TICK at extremes, potential reversal imminent
o Moderate Colors: Partial alignment - some confirmation but not complete
o Gray: Choppy, neutral, or conflicting signals
• Real-Time Dashboard displays:
o Current TICK value with exhaustion warnings
o Current ADD with directional momentum indicator (↑ rising = breadth improving, ↓ falling = breadth deteriorating, ± compression)
o VIX level with directional indicator (↓ declining = bullish, ↑ rising = bearish, ± compression = neutral)
o Relative volume (current vs 20-period average)
o Composite status message synthesizing all data into clear directional summary
Key Features
✓ Momentum-based analysis - all indicators show direction/change, not just levels ✓ Intelligent signal hierarchy from "Maximum" to "Moderate" based on internal alignment ✓ ADD directional momentum - catches breadth shifts early, works in all market conditions ✓ VIX directional analysis - shows if fear is increasing, decreasing, or stagnant ✓ Color-coded traffic light for instant decision making ✓ Detects TICK/ADD divergences (conflicting signals = caution) ✓ Exhaustion warnings at extreme TICK levels (±1000+) ✓ Composite status messages - "Maximum Bull", "Strong Bull", "Moderate Bull", etc. ✓ Customizable thresholds for all parameters ✓ Moveable dashboard (9 position options) ✓ Built-in alerts for all signal strengths, exhaustion, and divergences
How To Use
Setup:
1. Add indicator to your main trading chart (SPY, ES, NQ, etc.)
2. Default settings work well for most traders, but you can customize:
o TICK Extreme Level (default 1000)
o ADD Compression Threshold (default 100 - detects when breadth is stagnant)
o VIX Elevated Level (default 20)
o VIX Compression Threshold (default 2% - detects low volatility)
o Volume Threshold (default 1.5x average)
3. Position dashboard wherever convenient on your chart
Reading The Signals:
Signal Hierarchy (Strongest to Weakest):
MAXIMUM SIGNALS ⭐ (Brightest colors - All 4 internals aligned)
• "✓ MAXIMUM BULL": TICK bullish + ADD rising (↑) + VIX falling (↓) + Volume elevated
o This is the holy grail setup - all momentum aligned, highest conviction longs
• "✓ MAXIMUM BEAR": TICK bearish + ADD falling (↓) + VIX rising (↑) + Volume elevated
o Perfect storm bearish - all momentum aligned, highest conviction shorts
STRONG SIGNALS (Bright colors - Core internals aligned)
• "✓ STRONG BULL": TICK bullish + ADD rising (↑)
o Strong confirmation even without VIX/volume - breadth supporting the move
• "✓ STRONG BEAR": TICK bearish + ADD falling (↓)
o Strong confirmation - both momentum and breadth deteriorating
MODERATE SIGNALS (Faded colors - Partial confirmation)
• "MODERATE BULL": TICK bullish but ADD not confirming direction
o Proceed with caution - momentum present but breadth questionable
• "MODERATE BEAR": TICK bearish but ADD not confirming direction
o Proceed with caution - selling but breadth not fully participating
WARNING SIGNALS
• "⚠ EXHAUSTION" (Yellow): TICK at ±1000+ extremes
o Potential reversal zone - prepare to fade or take profits
o Often marks blow-off tops or capitulation bottoms
NEUTRAL/AVOID
• "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" (Gray): Conflicting signals or low conviction
o Stay out or reduce size significantly
Individual Indicator Interpretation:
TICK:
• Green: Bullish momentum (>+300)
• Red: Bearish momentum (<-300)
• Yellow: Exhaustion (±1000+)
• Gray: Neutral
ADD (Advance-Decline):
• Green (↑): Breadth improving - more stocks participating in the move
• Red (↓): Breadth deteriorating - fewer stocks participating
• Gray (±): Breadth stagnant - no clear participation trend
VIX:
• Green (↓): Fear declining - healthy environment for rallies
• Red (↑): Fear rising - risk-off mode, supports downward moves
• Gray (±): Volatility compression - often precedes explosive moves
Volume:
• Green: High conviction (>1.5x average)
• Gray: Low conviction
Trading Strategy:
1. Wait for "MAXIMUM" or "STRONG" signals for highest probability entries
o Maximum signals = go full size with confidence
o Strong signals = good conviction, normal position sizing
2. Confirm directional alignment:
o For longs: Want ADD ↑ (rising) and VIX ↓ (falling)
o For shorts: Want ADD ↓ (falling) and VIX ↑ (rising)
3. Use exhaustion warnings (yellow) to:
o Take profits on existing positions
o Prepare counter-trend entries
o Tighten stops
4. Avoid "MODERATE" signals unless you have strong conviction from other analysis
o These work best as confirmation for existing setups
o Not strong enough to initiate new positions alone
5. Never trade "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" signals
o Gray means stay out - preserve capital
o Wait for clear alignment
6. Watch for divergences:
o Price making new highs but ADD ↓ (falling) = distribution warning
o Price making new lows but ADD ↑ (rising) = potential bottom
o Divergence alert will notify you
Best Practices:
• Use on 1-5 minute charts for daytrading
• Combine with your price action or technical setup (support/resistance, trendlines, patterns)
• The dashboard confirms when to take your setup, not what setup to take
• Most effective during regular market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET) when volume is present
• The strongest edge comes from "MAXIMUM" signals - wait for these for best risk/reward
• Pay special attention to ADD direction - it's the most predictive breadth indicator
• VIX compression (gray ±) often signals upcoming volatility expansion - prepare for bigger moves
Customization Option
All thresholds are adjustable in settings:
• TICK Extreme: Higher = fewer exhaustion warnings (try 1200-1500 for less sensitivity)
• ADD Compression Threshold: Change detection sensitivity
o Default 100 = balanced
o Lower (50) = more sensitive to small breadth changes
o Higher (200-300) = only shows major breadth shifts
• VIX Elevated: Adjust for current volatility regime (15-25 typical range)
• VIX Compression Threshold:
o Default 2% = balanced
o Lower (0.5-1%) = catches subtle VIX changes
o Higher (3-5%) = only shows significant VIX moves
• Volume Threshold: Lower for quieter stocks/times, higher for more confirmation
Alerts Available
• Maximum Bullish: All 4 internals aligned bullish (TICK + ADD↑ + VIX↓ + Volume)
• Maximum Bearish: All 4 internals aligned bearish (TICK + ADD↓ + VIX↑ + Volume)
• Strong Bullish: TICK bullish + ADD rising
• Strong Bearish: TICK bearish + ADD falling
• Exhaustion Warning: TICK at extreme levels
• Divergence Warning: TICK and ADD directions conflicting
Understanding the Signal Synthesis
The indicator uses intelligent logic to combine all internals:
"MAXIMUM" Signals require:
• TICK direction (bullish/bearish)
• ADD momentum (rising/falling) in same direction
• VIX direction (falling for bulls, rising for bears)
• Volume elevated (>1.5x average)
"STRONG" Signals require:
• TICK direction (bullish/bearish)
• ADD momentum (rising/falling) in same direction
• (VIX and volume are bonuses but not required)
"MODERATE" Signals:
• TICK showing direction
• But ADD not confirming or contradicting
• Weakest actionable signal
This hierarchy ensures you know exactly how much conviction the market has behind any move.
Technical Details
• Pulls real-time data from NYSE TICK (USI:TICK), NYSE ADD (USI:ADD), and CBOE VIX
• ADD direction calculated using bar-to-bar change with compression detection
• VIX direction calculated using bar-to-bar percentage change
• Volume calculation uses 20-period simple moving average
• Dashboard updates every bar
• No repainting - all calculations based on closed bar data
Who This Is For
• Active daytraders of stocks, futures (ES/NQ), and options
• Scalpers needing quick directional confirmation with multiple internal alignment
• Swing traders looking to time intraday entries with maximum confluence
• Volatility traders who monitor VIX behavior
• Market makers and professionals who trade based on breadth and internals
• Anyone who monitors market internals but wants intelligent synthesis vs raw data
Tips For Success
Trading Philosophy:
• Quality over quantity - wait for "MAXIMUM" signals for best results
• One "MAXIMUM" signal trade is worth five "MODERATE" signal trades
• Gray/neutral is not a sign of missing opportunity - it's protecting your capital
Signal Confidence Levels:
1. MAXIMUM (95%+ confidence) - Trade these aggressively with full size
2. STRONG (80-85% confidence) - Trade these with normal position sizing
3. MODERATE (60-70% confidence) - Only if confirmed by strong technical setup
4. CHOPPY/NEUTRAL - Do not trade, wait for clarity
Advanced Techniques:
• Breadth divergences: Watch for price making new highs while ADD shows ↓ (falling) = major warning
• VIX/Price divergences: Rallies with rising VIX (↑) are usually false moves
• Volume confirmation: "MAXIMUM" signals with 2x+ volume are the absolute best
• Compression zones: When both ADD and VIX show compression (±), expect explosive breakout soon
• Sequential signals: Back-to-back "MAXIMUM" signals in same direction = strong trending day
Common Patterns:
• Opening surge with "MAXIMUM BULL" that shifts to "EXHAUSTION" (yellow) = fade the high
• Selloff with "MAXIMUM BEAR" followed by ADD ↑ (rising) divergence = potential reversal
• Choppy morning followed by "MAXIMUM" signal afternoon = best trending opportunity
Example Scenarios
Perfect Bull Entry:
• Bright green signal box
• TICK: +650
• ADD: +1200 (↑)
• VIX: 18.30 (↓)
• Volume: 2.3x
• Status: "✓ MAXIMUM BULL" → ALL SYSTEMS GO - Take aggressive long positions
Strong Bull (Good Confidence):
• Green signal box (slightly less bright)
• TICK: +500
• ADD: +800 (↑)
• VIX: 19.50 (±)
• Volume: 1.2x
• Status: "✓ STRONG BULL" → Good long setup - breadth confirming even without VIX/volume
Caution Bull (Moderate):
• Faded green signal box
• TICK: +400
• ADD: +900 (↓)
• VIX: 20.10 (↑)
• Volume: 0.9x
• Status: "MODERATE BULL" → CAUTION - TICK bullish but breadth deteriorating and VIX rising = weak rally
Exhaustion Warning:
• Yellow signal box
• TICK: +1350 ⚠
• ADD: +2100 (↑)
• VIX: 17.20 (↓)
• Volume: 1.8x
• Status: "⚠ EXHAUSTION" → Take profits or prepare to fade - TICK overextended despite good internals
Divergence Setup (Potential Reversal):
• Faded green signal
• TICK: +300
• ADD: +1800 (↓)
• VIX: 21.50 (↑)
• Volume: 1.6x
• Status: "MODERATE BULL" → WARNING - Price rallying but breadth collapsing and fear rising = distribution
Perfect Bear Entry:
• Bright red signal box
• TICK: -780
• ADD: -1600 (↓)
• VIX: 24.80 (↑)
• Volume: 2.5x
• Status: "✓ MAXIMUM BEAR" → Perfect short setup - all momentum bearish with conviction
Compression (Wait Mode):
• Gray signal box
• TICK: +50
• ADD: -200 (±)
• VIX: 16.40 (±)
• Volume: 0.7x
• Status: "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" → STAY OUT - Volatility compression, no conviction, await breakout
Performance Optimization
Best Market Conditions:
• Works excellent in trending markets (up or down)
• Particularly powerful during high-volume sessions (first/last hours)
• "MAXIMUM" signals most reliable during 9:45-11:00 AM and 2:00-3:30 PM ET
Less Effective During:
• Lunch period (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM) - lower volume reduces signal quality
• Low-volatility environments - compression signals dominate
• Major news events in first 5 minutes - wait for internals to stabilize
Recommended Use Cases:
• Scalping: Trade only "MAXIMUM" signals for quick 5-15 minute moves
• Daytrading: Use "MAXIMUM" and "STRONG" signals for position entries
• Swing entries: Use "MAXIMUM" signals for optimal intraday entry timing
• Exit timing: Use "EXHAUSTION" (yellow) warnings to take profits
________________________________________
Pro Tip: Create a dedicated workspace with this indicator on SPY/ES/NQ charts. Set alerts for "MAXIMUM BULL", "MAXIMUM BEAR", and "EXHAUSTION" signals. Most professional traders only trade the "MAXIMUM" setups and ignore everything else - this alone can dramatically improve win rates.
