P&F Label Overlay🧙 The Wizard's Challenge: P&F Label Overlay on Your Chart
This is a custom Pine Script indicator designed to overlay the classic Point & Figure (P&F) pattern directly onto your standard candlestick or bar chart. While Pine Script offers built-in, dedicated P&F charts, this indicator was created as a challenging and experimental project to satisfy the goal of visualizing the P&F X's and O's directly on the price bars.
❶. How to Use This Code on TradingView
1. Copy the Code: Copy the entire Pine Script code provided above.
2. Open Pine Editor: On TradingView, click the "Pine Editor" tab at the bottom of your chart.
3. Replace Content: Delete any existing code in the editor and paste this P&F script.
4. Add to Chart: Click the "Add to Chart" button (usually located near the top right of the Pine Editor).
5. Access Settings: The indicator, named "P&F Label Overlay: The Wizard's Challenge," will appear on your chart. You can click the gear icon ( ) next to its name on the chart to adjust the inputs.
❷. 🎛️ Key Settings & Customization (Inputs)
The indicator provides core P&F settings that you can customize to fit your analysis style:
✅ Enable Auto Box Size (Default: True): When enabled, the box size is automatically calculated as a percentage of the current price, making it dynamic.
・Auto Box Size Basis (%): Sets the percentage used to calculate the dynamic box size. (e.g., 2% of the price).
・Fixed Box Size (Price Units): When "Enable Auto Box Size" is disabled, this value is used as the static box size (e.g., a value of 5.0 for a $5 box).
・Reversal Count (Default: 3): This is the crucial P&F parameter (the Reversal Factor). It determines how many boxes the price must move in the opposite direction to trigger a column reversal (e.g., 3 means price must reverse by 3 \times \text{BOX\_SIZE}).
Calculation Source: Allows you to choose the price data used for calculations (e.g., close, hl2 (High/Low/2), etc.).
❸. 🎯 The Challenge: Why an Overlay?
This indicator represents an experimental and challenging endeavor made in collaboration with an AI. It stems from the strong desire to visualize P&F patterns overlaid on a conventional chart, which is not a native function in Pine Script's standard indicator plotting system.
・Leveraging Drawing Objects: The core of this challenge relies on cleverly using Pine Script's label.new() drawing objects to represent the "X" and "O" symbols. This is a highly non-standard way to draw a P&F chart, as it requires complex logic to manage the drawing coordinates, price levels, and column spacing on the time-based chart.
・The Current Status: We've successfully achieved the initial goal: visualizing the X and O patterns as an overlay. Achieving a perfectly aligned, full-featured P&F chart (where columns align precisely, and price rounding is fully consistent across all columns) is far more complex, but this code provides a strong foundation.
❹. 🛠️ Technical Highlights
Tick-Precision Rounding: The custom function f_roundToTick() is critical. It ensures that the calculated box size and the lastPrice are always rounded to the nearest minimum tick size (syminfo.mintick) of the asset. This maintains high precision and accuracy relative to the market's price movements.
・Column Indexing: The currentColumnIndex variable is used to simulate the horizontal movement of P&F columns by adding a fractional offset to the bar_index when drawing the labels. This is what makes the pattern appear as distinct columns.
・Garbage Collection: The activeLabels array and the MAX_LABELS limit ensure that old labels are deleted (label.delete()) as new ones are drawn. This is a crucial performance optimization to prevent TradingView's label limit (500) from being exceeded and to maintain a smooth experience.
❺. 🚀 A Platform for Deep Customization
While TradingView's built-in indicators are excellent, every trader has their "personal best settings." View this code as a starting point for your own analytical environment. You can use it as a base to pursue deeper custom features, such as:
・Different drawing styles or colors based on momentum.
・Automated detection and signaling of specific P&F patterns (e.g., Double Top Buy, Triple Bottom Sell).
Please feel free to try it on your chart! We welcome any feedback you might have as we continue to refine this experimental overlay.

Session Markers - JDK AnalysisSession Markers is a tool designed to study how markets behave during specific, recurring time windows. Many traders know that price behaves differently depending on the day of the week, the time of the day, or particular market sessions such as the weekly open, the London session, or the New York open. This indicator makes those recurring windows visible on the chart and then analyzes what price typically does inside them. The result is a clear statistical understanding of how a chosen session behaves, both in direction and in strength.
The script works by allowing the trader to define any time window using a start day and time and an end day and time. Every time this window occurs on the chart, the indicator highlights it with a full-height vertical band. These visual markers reveal patterns that are otherwise difficult to detect manually, such as whether certain sessions tend to trend, reverse, consolidate, or create large imbalances. They also help the trader quickly scan through historical price action to see how the market has behaved under similar conditions.
For every completed session window, the indicator measures how much price changed from the moment the window began to the moment it ended. Instead of using raw price differences, it converts these changes into percentage moves. This makes the measurement consistent across different price ranges and market regimes. A one-percent move always has the same meaning, whether the asset is trading at 100 or 50,000. These percentage moves are collected for a user-selected number of past sessions, creating a dataset of how the market has behaved in the chosen time window.
Based on this dataset, the indicator generates several statistics. It counts how many past sessions closed higher and how many closed lower, producing a directional tendency. It also computes the probability of an upward session by dividing the number of positive sessions by the total. More importantly, it calculates the average percentage movement for all sessions in the lookback period. This average move reflects not just the direction but also the magnitude of price changes. A session with frequent small upward moves but occasional large downward moves will show a negative average movement, even if more sessions ended positive. This creates a more realistic representation of true market behavior.
Using this average movement, the script determines a “Bias” for the session. If the average percentage move is positive, the bias is considered bullish. If it is negative, the bias is bearish. If the values are very close to zero, the bias is neutral. This way, the indicator takes both frequency and impact into account, producing a magnitude-aware assessment instead of one that only counts wins and losses. A sequence such as +5%, –1% results in a bullish bias because the overall impact is strongly positive. On the other hand, a series of small gains followed by a large drop produces a bearish bias even if more sessions ended positive, because the large move dominates the average. This provides a far more truthful picture of what the market tends to do during the chosen window.
All relevant statistics are displayed neatly in a small panel in the top-right corner of the chart. The panel updates in real time as new sessions complete and older ones fall out of the lookback range. It shows how many sessions were analyzed, how many ended up or down, the probability of an upward move, the average percentage change, and the final bias. The background color of the panel instantly reflects that bias, making it easy to interpret at a glance.
To use the tool effectively, the trader simply needs to define a time window of interest. This could be something like the weekly opening window from Sunday to Monday, the London open each day, or even a unique custom window. After selecting how many past sessions to analyze, the indicator takes care of the rest. The vertical session markers reveal the structure visually. The statistics summarize the historical behavior objectively. The magnitude-weighted bias provides a realistic indication of whether the window tends to produce upward or downward movement on average.
Session Markers is helpful because it translates repeated market timing behavior into measurable data. It exposes hidden tendencies that are easy to feel intuitively but hard to quantify manually. By analyzing both direction and magnitude, it prevents misleading interpretations that can arise from looking only at win rates. It helps traders understand whether a session typically produces meaningful moves or just small noise, whether it tends to trend or reverse, and whether its behavior has recently changed. Whether used for bias building, session filtering, or deeper market research, it offers a structured framework for understanding the market through time-based patterns.
RSI Forecast Colorful [DiFlip]RSI Forecast Colorful
Introducing one of the most complete RSI indicators available — a highly customizable analytical tool that integrates advanced prediction capabilities. RSI Forecast Colorful is an evolution of the classic RSI, designed to anticipate potential future RSI movements using linear regression. Instead of simply reacting to historical data, this indicator provides a statistical projection of the RSI’s future behavior, offering a forward-looking view of market conditions.
⯁ Real-Time RSI Forecasting
For the first time, a public RSI indicator integrates linear regression (least squares method) to forecast the RSI’s future behavior. This innovative approach allows traders to anticipate market movements based on historical trends. By applying Linear Regression to the RSI, the indicator displays a projected trendline n periods ahead, helping traders make more informed buy or sell decisions.
⯁ Highly Customizable
The indicator is fully adaptable to any trading style. Dozens of parameters can be optimized to match your system. All 28 long and short entry conditions are selectable and configurable, allowing the construction of quantitative, statistical, and automated trading models. Full control over signals ensures precise alignment with your strategy.
⯁ Innovative and Science-Based
This is the first public RSI indicator to apply least-squares predictive modeling to RSI calculations. Technically, it incorporates machine-learning logic into a classic indicator. Using Linear Regression embeds strong statistical foundations into RSI forecasting, making this tool especially valuable for traders seeking quantitative and analytical advantages.
⯁ Scientific Foundation: Linear Regression
Linear regression is a fundamental statistical method that models the relationship between a dependent variable y and one or more independent variables x. The general formula for simple linear regression is:
y = β₀ + β₁x + ε
where:
y = predicted variable (e.g., future RSI value)
x = explanatory variable (e.g., bar index or time)
β₀ = intercept (value of y when x = 0)
β₁ = slope (rate of change of y relative to x)
ε = random error term
The goal is to estimate β₀ and β₁ by minimizing the sum of squared errors. This is achieved using the least squares method, ensuring the best linear fit to historical data. Once the coefficients are calculated, the model extends the regression line forward, generating the RSI projection based on recent trends.
⯁ Least Squares Estimation
To minimize the error between predicted and observed values, we use the formulas:
β₁ = Σ((xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ)) / Σ((xᵢ - x̄)²)
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Σ denotes summation; x̄ and ȳ are the means of x and y; and i ranges from 1 to n (number of observations). These equations produce the best linear unbiased estimator under the Gauss–Markov assumptions — constant variance (homoscedasticity) and a linear relationship between variables.
⯁ Linear Regression in Machine Learning
Linear regression is a foundational component of supervised learning. Its simplicity and precision in numerical prediction make it essential in AI, predictive algorithms, and time-series forecasting. Applying regression to RSI is akin to embedding artificial intelligence inside a classic indicator, adding a new analytical dimension.
⯁ Visual Interpretation
Imagine a time series of RSI values like this:
Time →
RSI →
The regression line smooths these historical values and projects itself n periods forward, creating a predictive trajectory. This projected RSI line can cross the actual RSI, generating sophisticated entry and exit signals. In summary, the RSI Forecast Colorful indicator provides both the current RSI and the forecasted RSI, allowing comparison between past and future trend behavior.
⯁ Summary of Scientific Concepts Used
Linear Regression: Models relationships between variables using a straight line.
Least Squares: Minimizes squared prediction errors for optimal fit.
Time-Series Forecasting: Predicts future values from historical patterns.
Supervised Learning: Predictive modeling based on known output values.
Statistical Smoothing: Reduces noise to highlight underlying trends.
⯁ Why This Indicator Is Revolutionary
Scientifically grounded: Built on statistical and mathematical theory.
First of its kind: The first public RSI with least-squares predictive modeling.
Intelligent: Incorporates machine-learning logic into RSI interpretation.
Forward-looking: Generates predictive, not just reactive, signals.
Customizable: Exceptionally flexible for any strategic framework.
⯁ Conclusion
By combining RSI and linear regression, the RSI Forecast Colorful allows traders to predict market momentum rather than simply follow it. It's not just another indicator: it's a scientific advancement in technical analysis technology. Offering 28 configurable entry conditions and advanced signals, this open-source indicator paves the way for innovative quantitative systems.
⯁ Example of simple linear regression with one independent variable
This example demonstrates how a basic linear regression works when there is only one independent variable influencing the dependent variable. This type of model is used to identify a direct relationship between two variables.
⯁ In linear regression, observations (red) are considered the result of random deviations (green) from an underlying relationship (blue) between a dependent variable (y) and an independent variable (x)
This concept illustrates that sampled data points rarely align perfectly with the true trend line. Instead, each observed point represents the combination of the true underlying relationship and a random error component.
⯁ Visualizing heteroscedasticity in a scatterplot with 100 random fitted values using Matlab
Heteroscedasticity occurs when the variance of the errors is not constant across the range of fitted values. This visualization highlights how the spread of data can change unpredictably, which is an important factor in evaluating the validity of regression models.
⯁ The datasets in Anscombe’s quartet were designed to have nearly the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but look very different when plotted
This classic example shows that summary statistics alone can be misleading. Even with identical numerical metrics, the datasets display completely different patterns, emphasizing the importance of visual inspection when interpreting a model.
⯁ Result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function
This example illustrates how a second-degree polynomial model can better fit certain datasets that do not follow a linear trend. The resulting curve reflects the true shape of the data more accurately than a straight line.
⯁ What Is RSI?
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a technical indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. It measures the velocity and magnitude of recent price movements to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100 and is commonly used to identify potential reversals and evaluate trend strength.
⯁ How RSI Works
RSI is calculated from average gains and losses over a set period (commonly 14 bars) and plotted on a 0–100 scale. It consists of three key zones:
Overbought: RSI above 70 may signal an overbought market.
Oversold: RSI below 30 may signal an oversold market.
Neutral Zone: RSI between 30 and 70, indicating no extreme condition.
These zones help identify potential price reversals and confirm trend strength.

Bullish and Bearish Engulfing (Strength & Trend)This is the final indicator that will show all the “Bullish Engulfing” and “Bearish Engulfing” price action patterns on the chart.
There are several indicators that show this type of chart pattern, but this will show you on the chart all the types of engulfing that may exist and differentiated by type (or strength).
I have classified 4 types of patterns for strength.
Those of strength 1 represent patterns that only incorporate the body of the previous candle, and therefore represent a "base" signal.
Those of strength 2 represent patterns that have the close beyond the shadow, but with an open equal to the previous close.
Those of strength 3 represent patterns that open beyond the previous close.
Those of strength 4 represent patterns in which the body of the candle completely encompasses the previous candle.
Trend Filter
For a better experience I have also added a trend filter via an exponential moving average adjustable from the settings.
So if activated, patterns will only appear if the candle is completely above the moving average.
The indicator is completed by alerts that can be activated either via the "any alert function" in which you will receive any alert, or you can choose whether to receive only bullish ones or only bearish ones.

Day-Type Detector — Rejection / FNL / Outside / StopRun (Clean)Day-Type Detector — Rejection / FNL / Outside / Stop-Run (Clean Version)
This indicator identifies four high-impact candlestick day-types commonly used in professional price-action and auction-market trading: Rejection Days, Failed New Low (FNL) Days, Outside Days, and Stop-Run Days. These patterns often precede major directional moves, reversals, and absorption events, making them particularly valuable for swing traders, positional traders, and short-term discretionary traders.
The script is designed to work across all timeframes and is built around volatility-adjusted measurements using Average Daily Range (ADR) for accuracy and consistency.
What This Indicator Detects
1. Rejection Day (Bullish & Bearish)
A Rejection Day is a wide-range bar that rejects a previous extreme.
The indicator identifies rejection based on:
Range > ADR × threshold
Long lower wick (for bullish) or long upper wick (for bearish)
Close located in the strong zone of the day’s range
These conditions highlight areas where aggressive counter-orderflow entered the market.
2. Failed New Low (FNL) / Failed New High
An FNL day traps traders who attempted breakout selling or buying.
The indicator checks for:
A break beyond the previous session’s low or high
Immediate rejection back inside
Midpoint recapture conditions
ADR-normalized range requirements
These days often trigger powerful directional reversals.
3. Outside Day (Bullish & Bearish)
An Outside Day is a statistically significant expansion day that breaks both the previous high and low.
The script validates:
High > previous high and low < previous low
Range > ADR threshold
Close beyond prior session extreme to complete the rejection sequence
Outside Days often represent stop runs, shakeouts, or trend accelerations.
4. Stop-Run Day (Bullish & Bearish)
Stop-Run Days are aggressive volatility expansions and tend to be the largest ranges within short windows.
This detector identifies them using:
Range > ADR × multiplier
Close located near the extreme of the day (top for bullish, bottom for bearish)
Strong body relative to total range
Break above/below previous session extreme
These patterns indicate capitulation or forced liquidation and are often followed by continuation or sharp counter-rotation.
Key Features
✔ Historical Pattern Marking
All qualifying bars are marked on the chart using plotshape() in global scope, ensuring full historical visibility.
✔ Event Logging & Table Display
A table (top-right of the chart) displays the most recent pattern detections, including:
Timestamp
Pattern type
Bar index
This allows users to monitor and study past pattern occurrences without scanning the chart manually.
✔ ADR-Adjusted Detection
Volatility uncertainty is removed by anchoring all thresholds to ADR.
This ensures consistency across:
Different symbols
Different timeframes
Different market regimes
✔ Alerts Included
Alerts are preconfigured for:
Rejection Day Bull / Bear
FNL Bull / Bear
Outside Day Bull / Bear
Stop-Run Bull / Bear
This allows the user to receive real-time notifications when major day-type structures develop.
How to Use
Add the indicator to any timeframe chart.
Enable or disable:
Historical markers
History table
ADR diagnostics
Watch for shape markers or use alerts for real-time signals.
Use the history table to review recent occurrences.
Combine these day-types with:
Market structure levels
High/low volume nodes (LVNs)
Support/resistance zones
Trend context
These day-types are most effective when they occur near meaningful structural levels because they show where strong order-flow entered the market.
Best Practices
Use higher timeframes (1H–1D) for swing entries.
Confirm signals with market structure or volume profile.
Treat these day-types as context, not standalone signals.
Observe follow-through behavior in the next 1–3 bars after detection.
Credits
This script is based on concepts commonly seen in auction-market theory and professional price-action frameworks, such as Rejection Days, Failed New Lows, Outside Days, and Stop-Run behaviors.
All calculations and logic have been rebuilt from scratch to ensure clean, reliable, and optimized Pine Script v6 execution.
Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.
Trading Sessions [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Trading Sessions indicator tracks and displays the four major global trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It provides session-based background highlighting, real-time price change tracking from session open, and a data table with session status. The script works across all markets (forex, equities, commodities, crypto) and helps traders identify when specific geographic markets are active, which directly correlates with changes in liquidity and volatility patterns. Default session times are set to major financial center hours in UTC but are fully adjustable to match your trading methodology.
🟢 Key Features
→ Session Background Color Coding
Each trading session gets a distinct background color on your chart:
1. Sydney Session - Default orange, 22:00-07:00 UTC
2. Tokyo Session - Default red, 00:00-09:00 UTC
3. London Session - Default green, 08:00-16:00 UTC
4. New York Session - Default blue, 13:00-22:00 UTC
When sessions overlap, the color priority is New York > London > Tokyo > Sydney. This means if London and New York are both active, the background shows New York's color. The priority matches typical liquidity and volatility patterns where later sessions generally show higher volume.
→ Color Customization
All session colors are configurable in the Color Settings panel:
1. Click any session color input to open the color picker
2. Select your preferred color for that session
3. Use the "Background Transparency" slider (0-100) to adjust opacity. Lower values = more visible, higher values = more subtle
4. Enable "Color Price Bars" to color candlesticks themselves according to the active session instead of just the background
The Color column in the info table shows a block (█) in each session's assigned color, matching what you see on the chart background.
→ Information Table Breakdown
→ Timeframe Warning
If you're viewing a timeframe of 12 hours or higher, a red warning label appears center-screen. Session boundaries don't render accurately on high timeframes because the time() function in Pine Script can't detect intra-bar session changes when each bar spans multiple sessions. The warning tells you to switch to sub-12H timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m, etc.) for proper session detection. You can disable this warning in Color Settings if needed, but session highlighting can be unreliable on 12H+ charts regardless.
→ Time Range Configuration
Every session's time range is editable in Session Settings:
1. Click the time input field next to each session
2. Enter time as HHMM-HHMM in 24-hour format
3. All times are interpreted as UTC
4. Modify these to account for daylight saving shifts or to define custom session periods based on your backtested optimal trading windows
For example, if your strategy performs best during London/NY overlap specifically, you could set London to 08:00-17:00 and New York to 13:00-22:00 to ensure you see the full overlap highlighted.
→ Weekdays Filter
The "Weekdays Only (Mon-Fri)" toggle controls whether sessions display on weekends:
Enabled: Sessions only show Monday-Friday and hide on Saturday-Sunday. Use this for markets that close on weekends (most equities, forex).
Disabled: Sessions display 24/7 including weekends. Use this for markets that trade continuously (crypto).
→ Table Display Options
The info table has several configuration options in Table Settings:
Visibility: Toggle "Show Info Table" on/off to display or hide the entire table.
Position: Nine position options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right) let you place the table wherever it doesn't block your price action or other indicators.
Text Size: Four size options (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large) to match your screen resolution and visual preferences.
→ Color Schemes:
Mono: Black background, gray header, white text
Light: White background, light gray header, black text
Blue: Dark blue background, medium blue header, white text
Custom: Manual selection of all five color components (table background, header background, header text, data text, borders)
→ Alert Functionality
The indicator includes ten alert conditions you can access via TradingView's alert system:
Session Opens:
1. Sydney Session Started
2. Tokyo Session Started
3. London Session Started
4. New York Session Started
5. Any Session Started
Session Closes:
6. Sydney Session Ended
7. Tokyo Session Ended
8. London Session Ended
9. New York Session Ended
10. Any Session Ended
These alerts fire when sessions transition based on your configured time ranges, letting you automate monitoring of session changes without watching the chart continuously. Useful for strategies that trade specific session opens/closes or need to adjust position sizing when volatility regime shifts between sessions.

YCGH Drawdown PercentilesWhat This Indicator Does?
The Drawdown Percentiles indicator tracks how far below the all-time high (ATH) a stock or asset is currently trading, then displays statistical percentiles of historical drawdowns in a customizable table.
Percentile Analysis: It collects up to 5,000 historical bars of drawdown data, sorts them, and calculates user-selected percentiles (default: 10th, 30th, 50th) to show where current drawdowns rank historically.
Visual Display: A table shows each percentile threshold with color-coded drawdown values, helping you quickly assess whether the current drawdown is typical or extreme compared to historical patterns.
Practical Use Cases
Risk Assessment: Identify if current drawdowns fall within normal ranges or represent extreme conditions requiring position adjustments.
Entry/Exit Timing: Use percentile rankings to time entries during historically shallow drawdowns (better conditions) and reduce exposure during deep drawdowns.
Strategy Comparison: Compare drawdown patterns across different assets or trading strategies to evaluate risk-adjusted performance.
Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

Trend & Strength Detector TSDTrend Strength Detector (TSD)
*Objective Trend Quality Measurement for Educational Market Analysis*
Note: This mathematical framework is a proprietary quantitative model developed by Ario Pinelab, inspired by classical EMA, ADX, RSI and MACD principles, yet not documented in any public technical or academic publication.
## 🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
The ** Trend Strength Detector- TSD ** is an educational research tool that provides **quantitative measurement of trend quality** through two independent scoring systems (0-100 scale). It answers the analytical question: *"How strong and aligned is the current market trend environment?"*
This indicator is designed with a **modular, complementary approach** to work alongside various analysis methodologies, particularly pattern-based recognition systems.
## 🔗 Complementary Research Framework
### Designed to Work With Pattern Detection Systems
This indicator provides **environmental context measurement** that complements qualitative pattern recognition tools. It works particularly well alongside systems like:
- **RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System**
- Traditional chart pattern analyzers
- Any momentum-based pattern identification tools
🔍 **To find RMBS Smart Detector:**
- Search in TradingView Indicators Library: `" RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System"`
- Look for: *Multi-Factor Momentum System*
- By author: ` `
### Why This Complementary Approach?
**Trend Quality Measurement** (TSD - this tool) provides:
- ✅ Structural trend alignment (0-100 score)
- ✅ Momentum intensity levels (0-100 score)
- ✅ Environment classification (Strong/Moderate/Weak)
- 📌 **Answers:** *"HOW STRONG is the underlying trend environment?"*
### Educational Research Value
When used together in a research context, these tools enable systematic study of questions like:
- How do reversal patterns behave when Strength Score is above 70 vs below 30?
- Do continuation patterns in weakening environments (declining scores) show different characteristics?
- What is the correlation between high Alignment Scores and pattern "success rates"?
- Can environment classification help identify genuine trend initiation vs false starts?
⚠️ **Important Note:** Both tools are **independent and work standalone**. TSD provides value whether used alone or with other analysis methods. The relationship with RMBS (or any pattern tool) is **complementary for research purposes**, not dependent.
---
###Mathematical Foundation
##TSA Formula: scoring method developed by Ario
-Trend Model (0 – 100)
TAS = EMA Alignment (0–40) + Price Position (0–30) + Trend Consistency (0–30)
EMA Alignment checks EMA_fast vs EMA_slow vs EMA_trend structure.
Price Position evaluates if Close is above/below all EMAs.
Consistency = 3 × max(bullish,bearish bars within 10 candles).
-Strength Model (0 – 100)
Strength = ADX (0–50) + EMA Slope (0–25) + RSI (0–15) + MACD (0–10)
ADX measures trend energy; Slope shows EMA momentum %;
RSI assesses zone positioning; MACD confirms directional agreement.
Note: This formula represents a proprietary quantitative model by Ario_Pinelab, inspired by classical technical concepts but not published in any external reference.________________________________________

• Signals are NOT repainting after pivot confirmation
• Not a "holy grail" - combine with other analysis and proper risk management
• Requires patience - quality setups are infrequent but high-probability
• Always backtest on historical data before live trading
ELLIOTT WAVE THEORY BACKGROUND
------------------------------
Elliott Wave Theory, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott in the 1930s, proposes that market prices move in predictable wave patterns driven by investor psychology. An impulse wave consists of five sub-waves (three in the trend direction, two corrections), followed by a three-wave correction. This indicator automates the identification of these patterns and validates them against Elliott's original rules.
DISCLAIMER

Lord Mathew ATSThe Smart Money Structure & Pattern Analyzer is a complete, all-in-one visual trading system that brings together every essential element of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, and candlestick psychology into one powerful indicator.
It is designed to help traders instantly understand the market’s structure, liquidity flow, and potential turning points without switching tools or manually marking charts. Whether you trade forex, indices, crypto, or commodities, this indicator automatically identifies where institutional activity, imbalances, and price inefficiencies occur in real time.
With its advanced algorithm, it plots market structure shifts, equal highs and lows, liquidity zones, order blocks, fair value gaps (FVGs), and previous week and day levels (PWO, PWH, PWL, PWC, PDO, PDH, PDL, PDO). It also integrates a deep candlestick recognition engine that detects over ten classic and advanced candle formations including engulfing patterns, dojis, hammers, shooting stars, morning/evening stars, and spinning tops to provide precise confirmation at critical points of interest.
This indicator isn’t just a tool it’s a complete market map that helps traders visualize how institutional order flow and candlestick sentiment interact.
Core Features
📊 Market Structure Detection:
Automatically marks swing highs/lows, Break of Structure (BOS), and Change of Character (CHOCH) in real time.
💧 Liquidity Mapping:
Highlights equal highs/lows and liquidity grabs, showing where price is likely to target before a reversal or continuation.
🧱 Order Block Visualization:
Displays the last bullish or bearish candle before an impulsive displacement, acting as a potential institutional entry zone.
⚡ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Scanner:
Detects and highlights imbalances where price moved too fast, helping you identify high-probability retracement areas.
🕯️ Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
Recognizes key reversal and continuation patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star, doji, morning/evening star, etc.) in real time.
📅 Institutional Reference Points:
Plots previous week & day open (PWO, PDO), previous week & day high (PWH, PWH), previous week & day low (PWL, PDL), previous week & day close (PWC, PDC) and optionally previous day levels to help frame bias.
🎨 Customizable Design:
Toggle any feature, change colors, and set alerts when multiple Smart Money signals align for cleaner, faster decision-making.
How It Works
Add the indicator to your chart on any timeframe or market.
The algorithm automatically detects structure, liquidity, and imbalance zones.
Candlestick patterns are highlighted when they form near high-probability areas (like OBs or FVGs).
When confluence occurs such as a liquidity grab, FVG fill, and bullish engulfing candle—the indicator provides a visual signal zone for your confirmation-based entries.
You can refine your trades using higher-timeframe bias (HTF order flow) and lower-timeframe execution (LTF confirmation).
Best For
Traders using ICT, Smart Money Concepts, or price-action systems.
Intraday and swing traders looking for clear, data-driven chart structure.
Traders who want to simplify confluence analysis and focus on precision execution.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike standard candlestick or pattern scanners, this indicator merges institutional market logic with technical candle behavior, allowing traders to see where smart money might be entering or exiting positions.
It’s not about random signals it’s about context, structure, and confirmation.
Every feature in this indicator is built around the principle of liquidity engineering:
price creates liquidity, grabs it, and moves toward imbalance or order flow efficiency.
By merging that institutional logic with candlestick patterns, this tool gives traders an edge in recognizing not only where to trade but why price is reacting in that exact area.
Disclaimer
This indicator is intended for educational and analytical use. It does not provide financial advice or guaranteed trading results. Always backtest and manage your risk responsibly.
Market SessionsMarket Sessions (Asian, London, NY, Pacific)
Summary
This indicator plots the main global market sessions (Asian, European, American, Pacific) as boxes on your chart, complete with dynamic high/low tracking.
It's an essential tool for intraday traders to track session-based volatility patterns and visualize key support/resistance levels (like the Asian Range) that often define price action for the rest of the day.
Who it’s for
Intraday traders, scalpers, and day traders who need to visualize market hours and session-based ranges. If your strategy depends on the London open, the New York close, or the Asian range, this script will map it out for you.
What it shows
Customizable Session Boxes: Four fully configurable boxes for the Asian, European (London), American (New York), and Pacific (Sydney) sessions.
Session High & Low: The script tracks and boxes the highest high and lowest low of each session, dynamically updating as the session progresses.
Session Labels: Clear labels (e.g., "AS", "EU") mark each session, anchored to the start time.
Key Features
Powerful Timezone Control: This is the core feature.
Use Exchange Timezone (Default): Simply enter session times (e.g., 8:00 for London) relative to the exchange's timezone (e.g., "NASDAQ" or "BINANCE").
Use UTC Offset: Uncheck the box and enter a UTC offset (e.g., +3 or -5). Now, all session times you enter are relative to that specific UTC offset. This gives you full control regardless of the chart you're on.
Fully Customizable: Toggle any session on/off.
Style Control: Change the fill color, border color, transparency, border width, and line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for each session individually.
Smart Labels: Labels stay anchored to the start of the session (no "sliding") and float just above the session high.
Why this helps
Track Volatility & Market Behavior: Visually identify the "personality" of each session. Some sessions might consistently produce powerful pumps or dumps, while others are prone to sideways "chop" or accumulation. This indicator helps you see these repeating patterns.
Find Key Support/Resistance Levels: The High and Low of a session (e.g., the Asian Range) often become critical support and resistance levels for the next session (e.g., London). This script makes it easy to spot these "session-to-session" S/R flips and reactions.
Aid Statistical Analysis: The script provides the core visual data for your statistical research. You can easily track how often the London session breaks the Asian high, or which session is most likely to reverse the trend, helping you build a robust trading plan.
Context is King: Instantly see which market is active, which are overlapping (like the high-volume London-NY overlap), and which have closed.
Quick setup
Go to Timezone Settings.
Decide how you want to enter times:
Easy (Default): Leave Use Exchange Timezone checked. Enter session times based on the chart's native exchange (e.g., for BTC/USDT on Binance, use UTC+0 times).
Manual (Pro): Uncheck Use Exchange Timezone. Enter your UTC Offset (e.g., +2 for Berlin). Now, enter all session times as they appear on the clock in Berlin.
Go to each session tab (Asian, European...) to enable/disable it and set the correct start/end hours and minutes.
Style the colors to match your chart theme.

[AS] MACD-v & Hist [Alex Spiroglou | S.M.A.R.T. TRADER SYSTEMS] MACD-v & MACD-v Histogram
=======================================
Volatility Normalised Momentum 📈
Twice Awarded Indicator 🏆
=======================================
=======================================
✅ 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE MACD-v ✅
=======================================
I created the MACD-v in 2015,
as a way to deal with the limitations
of well known indicators like the Stochastic, RSI, MACD.
I decided to publicly share a very small part of my research
in the form of a research paper I wrote in 2022,
titled "MACD-v: Volatility Normalised Momentum".
That paper was awarded twice:
1. The "Charles H. Dow" Award (2022),
for outstanding research in Technical Analysis,
by the Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMTA)
2. The "Founders" Award (2022),
for advances in Active Investment Management,
by the National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM)
=======================================
===================================================
❌ 2. WHY CREATE THE MACD-v ?
THE LIMITATIONS OF CONVENTIONAL MOMENTUM INDICATORS
====================================================
Technical Analysis indicators focused on momentum,
come in two general categories,
each with its own set of limitations:
(i) Range Bound Oscillators (RSI, Stochastics, etc)
These usually have a scaling of 0-100,
and thus have the advantage of having normalised readings,
that are comparable across time and securities.
However they have the following limitations (among others):
1. Skewing effect of steep trends
2. Indicator values do not adjust with and reflect true momentum
(indicator values are capped to 100)
(ii) Unbound Oscillators (MACD, RoC, etc)
These are boundless indicators,
and can expand with the market,
without being limited by a 0-100 scaling,
and thus have the advantage of really measuring momentum.
They have the main following limitations (among others):
1. Subjectivity of overbought / oversold levels
2. Not comparable across time
3. Not comparable across securities
=======================================
=======================================
💡 3. THE SOLUTION TO SOLVE THESE LIMITATIONS
=======================================
In order to deal with these limitations,
I decided to create an indicator,
that would be the "Best of two worlds".
A unique & hybrid indicator,
that would have objective normalised readings
(similar to Range Bound Oscillators - RSI)
but would also be able to have no upper/lower boundaries
(similar to Unbound Oscillators - MACD).
This would be achieved by "normalising" a boundless oscillator (MACD)
=======================================
==================================================
⛔ 4. DEEP DIVE INTO THE 5 LIMITATIONS OF THE MACD
==================================================
A Bloomberg study found that the MACD
is the most popular indicator after the RSI,
but the MACD has 5 BIG limitations.
Limitation 1: MACD values are not comparable across Time
The raw MACD values shift
as the underlying security's absolute value changes across time,
making historical comparisons obsolete
e.g S&P 500 maximum MACD was 1.56 in 1957-1971,
but reached 86.31 in 2019-2021 - not indicating 55x stronger momentum,
but simply different price levels.
Limitation 2: MACD values are not comparable across Assets
Traditional MACD cannot compare momentum between different assets.
S&P 500 MACD of 65 versus EUR/USD MACD of -0.5
reflects absolute price differences, not momentum differences
Limitation 3: MACD values cannot be Systematically Classified
Due to limitations #1 & #2, it is not possible to create
a momentum level classification scale
where one can define "fast", "slow", "overbought", "oversold" momentum
making systematic analysis impossible
Limitation 4: MACD Signal Line gives false crossovers in low-momentum ranges
In range-bound, low momentum environments,
most of the MACD signal line crossovers are false (noise)
Since there is no objective momentum classification system (limitation #3),
it is not possible to filter these signals out,
by avoiding them when momentum is low
Limitation 5: MACD Signal Line gives late crossovers in high momentum regimes.
Signal lag in strong trends not good at timing the turning point
— In high-momentum moves, MACD crossovers may come late.
Since there is no objective momentum classification system (limitation #3),
it is not possible to filter these signals out,
by avoiding them when momentum is high
===================================================================
===================================================================
🏆 5. MACD-v : THE SOLUTION TO THE LIMITATIONS OF THE MACD , RSI, etc
====================================================================
MACD-v is a volatility normalised momentum indicator.
It remedies these 5 limitations of the classic MACD,
while creating a tool with unique properties.
Formula: × 100
MACD-V enhances the classic MACD by normalizing for volatility,
transforming price-dependent readings into standardized momentum values.
This resolves key limitations of traditional MACD and adds significant analytical power.
Core Advantages of MACD-V
Advantage 1: Time-Based Stability
MACD-V values are consistent and comparable over time.
A reading of 100 has the same meaning today as it did in the past
(unlike traditional MACD which is influenced by changes in price and volatility over time)
Advantage 2: Cross-Market Comparability
MACD-V provides universal scaling.
Readings (e.g., ±50) apply consistently across all asset classes—stocks,
bonds, commodities, or currencies,
allowing traders to compare momentum across markets reliably.
Advantage 3: Objective Momentum Classification
MACD-V includes a defined 5-range momentum lifecycle
with standardized thresholds (e.g., -150 to +150).
This offers an objective framework for analyzing market conditions
and supports integration with broader models.
Advantage 4: False Signal Reduction in Low-Momentum Regimes
MACD-V introduces a "neutral zone" (typically -50 to +50)
to filter out these low-probability signals.
Advantage 5: Improved Signal Timing in High-Momentum Regimes
MACD-V identifies extremely strong trends,
allowing for more precise entry and exit points.
Advantage 6: Trend-Adaptive Scaling
Unlike bounded oscillators like RSI or Stochastic,
MACD-V dynamically expands with trend strength,
providing clearer momentum insights without artificial limits.
Advantage 7: Enhanced Divergence Detection
MACD-V offers more reliable divergence signals
by avoiding distortion at extreme levels,
a common flaw in bounded indicators (RSI, etc)
====================================================================
=======================================
⚒️ 5. HOW TO USE THE MACD-v: 7 CORE PATTERNS
HOW TO USE THE MACD-v Histogram: 2 CORE PATTERNS
=======================================
>>>>>> BASIC USE (RANGE RULES) <<<<<<
The MACD-v has 7 Core Patterns (Ranges) :
1. Risk Range (Overbought)
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > +150
Interpretation: Extremely strong bullish momentum—potential exhaustion or reversal zone.
2. Retracing
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and MACD-V > -50
Interpretation: Mild pullback within a bullish trend.
3. Rundown
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and -50 > MACD-V > -150
Interpretation: Momentum is weakening—bearish pressure building.
4. Risk Range (Oversold)
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and MACD-V < -150
Interpretation: Extreme bearish momentum—potential for reversal or capitulation.
5. Rebounding
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > -150
Interpretation: Bullish recovery from oversold or weak conditions.
6. Rallying
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > +50
Interpretation: Strengthening bullish trend—momentum accelerating.
7. Ranging (Neutral Zone)
Condition: MACD-V remains between -50 and +50 for 20+ bars
Interpretation: Sideways market—low conviction and momentum.
The MACD-v Histogram has 2 Core Patterns (Ranges) :
1. Risk (Overbought)
Condition: Histogram > +40
Interpretation: Short-term bullish momentum is stretched—possible overextension or reversal risk.
2. Risk (Oversold)
Condition: Histogram < -40
Interpretation: Short-term bearish momentum is stretched—potential for rebound or reversal.
=======================================
=======================================
📈 6. ADVANCED PATTERNS WITH MACD-v
=======================================
Thanks to its volatility normalization,
the MACD-V framework enables the development
of a wide range of advanced pattern recognition setups,
trading signals, and strategic models.
These patterns go beyond basic crossovers,
offering deeper insight into momentum structure,
regime shifts, and high-probability trade setups.

HA Reversal + Doji 🔥 Heikin Ashi Reversal + Stochastic Filter (Precision Entry System)
This indicator is designed to detect high–quality reversal entries using a Heikin Ashi candle pattern (Doji + 2 no–wick confirmation) combined with a strict Stochastic filter that uses memory of extreme touches to control trade direction.
✅ Entry Logic
🔹 Bullish BUY Signal
A BUY is triggered only when:
A valid reversal pattern is detected:
Doji candle (pivot) 3 bars back
Followed by 2 bullish candles with no lower wicks
Stochastic touched Oversold (≤ 20) at least once before the signal
Pattern + Stoch alignment = BUY
🔹 Bearish SELL Signal
A SELL is triggered only when:
Valid bearish reversal pattern:
Doji candle (pivot) 3 bars back
Followed by 2 bearish candles with no upper wicks
Stochastic touched Overbought (≥ 80) before the signal
Pattern + Stoch alignment = SELL
🧠 Stochastic “Memory” Filter
This is not a basic OB/OS filter — it uses event memory:
If Stochastic touches Oversold, the system becomes ready for BUY
If it touches Overbought, it becomes ready for SELL
Both directions can be armed at once
Once a BUY or SELL actually triggers, memory resets to neutral
Prevents “signal spam” during chop and keeps direction meaningful
🎯 Why This Works
✔ Filters out random countertrend noise
✔ Only trades after momentum exhaustion
✔ Uses strict Heikin Ashi reversal structure
✔ Works great across crypto, forex, indices, metals
✔ Designed for precision entries and swing continuation traps
⚙️ Customizable Options
Doji detection mode (body % / ticks / hybrid)
Wick tolerance
Heikin Ashi source (chart or calculated)
Stochastic source (raw or smoothed)
Option to avoid duplicate same-direction signals
Visual aids: pattern markers, blocked signals, doji debugging
📌 Best Use Cases
Reversal scalping on 5m/15m
Swing entries on 1H/4H
Trend exhaustion confirmation
Smart Money Concepts entry refinement
Entry timing after liquidity sweeps
🚨 Important
This is not a repainting system. Signals are generated at bar close only. Always combine with proper risk management and market context.
