Search in scripts for "reversal"
Ehlers Convolution Indicator [CC]The Convolution Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics For Traders pgs 170-174) and this is version of an indicator to find potential reversal points. The idea behind this indicator is to use a variation of his AutoCorrelation Indicator that transforms the data using digital signal processing and as you can see it looks very similar to his BandPass Filter . The idea is that when this indicator peaks then it has reached a potential reversal point and so the stock may continue in the current direction but most of the time this indicator correctly points out the reversal points. I have included normal buy and sell signals but generally speaking you would want to buy when the indicator is around 0.05 to 0.10 and moving up and sell when it reaches its peak and is starting to move down.
Let me know if you have any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Kawabunga Swing Failure Points Candles (SFP) by RRBKawabunga Swing Failure Points Candles (SFP) by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
This indicator shows Swing Failure Points (SFP) and Swing Confirmation Points (SCP) as candles on a chart.
SFP/SCP candles are used by traders as signals for trend confirmation/possible reversal.
The signal is stronger on a higher volume/larger candle size.
A Swing Failure Point (SFP) candle is used to spot a reversal:
- up trend SFP is a failure to close above prev high after making a new higher high => implies reversal down
- down trend SFP is a failure to close below prev low after making a new lower low => implies reversal up
A Swing Confirmation Point (SCP) candle is just the opposite and is used to confirm the current trend:
- up trend SCP is a successful close above prev high after making a new higher high => confirms the trend and implies continuation up
- down trend SCP is a successful close below prev low after making a new lower low => confirms the trend and implies continuation down
Features:
- uses fractal pivots with optional filter
- show/hide SFP/SCP candles, pivots, zigzag, last min/max pivot bands
- dim lag zones/hide false signals introduced by lagging fractals or
- use unconfirmed pivots to eliminate fractal lag/false signals. 2 modes: fractals 1,1 and highest/lowest
- filter only SFP/SCP candles confirmed with volume/candle size
- SFP/SCP candles color highlighting, dim non-important bars
Usage:
- adjust fractal settings to get pivots that best match your data (lower values => more frequent pivots. 0,0 - each candle is a pivot)
- use one of the unconfirmed pivot modes to eliminate false signals or just ignore all signals in the gray lag zones
- optionally filter only SFP/SCP candles with large volume/candle size (volume % change relative to prev bar, abs candle body size value)
- up/down trend SCP (lime/fuchsia) => continuation up/down; up/down trend SFP (orange/aqua) => possible reversal down/up. lime/aqua => up; fuchsia/orange => down.
- when in doubt use show/hide pivots/unconfirmed pivots, min/max pivot bands to see which prev pivot and min/max value were used in comparisons to generate a signal on the following candle.
- disable offset to check on which bar the signal was generated
Notes:
Fractal Pivots:
- SFP/SCP candles depend on fractal pivots, you will get different signals with different pivot settings. Usually 4,4 or 2,2 settings are used to produce fractal pivots, but you can try custom values that fit your data best.
- fractal pivots are a mixed series of highs and lows in no particular order. Pivots must be filtered to produce a proper zigzag where ideally a high is followed by a low and another high in orderly fashion.
Fractal Lag/False Signals:
- only past fractal pivots can be processed on the current bar introducing a lag, therefore, pivots and min/max pivot bands are shown with offset=-rightBars to match their target bars. For unconfirmed pivots an offset=-1 is used with a lag of just 1 bar.
- new pivot is not a confirmed fractal and "does not exist yet" while the distance between it and the current bar is < rightBars => prev old fractal pivot in the same dir is used for comparisons => gives a false signal for that dir
- to show false signals enable lag zones. SFP/SCP candles in lag zones are false. New pivots will be eventually confirmed, but meanwhile you get a false signal because prev pivot in the same dir was used instead.
- to solve this problem you can either temporary hide false signals or completely eliminate them by using unconfirmed pivots of a smaller degree/lag.
- hiding false signals only works for history and should be used only temporary (left disabled). In realtime/replay mode it disables all signals altogether due to TradingView's bug (barcolor doesn't support negative offsets)
Unconfirmed Pivots:
- you have 2 methods to check for unconfirmed pivots: highest/lowest(rightBars) or fractals(1,1) with a min possible step. The first is essentially fractals(0,0) where each candle is a pivot. Both produce more frequent pivots (weaker signals).
- an unconfirmed pivot is used in comparisons to generate a valid signal only when it is a higher high (> max high) or a lower low (< min low) in the dir of a trend. Confirmed pivots of a higher degree are not affected. Zigzag is not affected.
- you can also manually disable the offset to check on which bar the pivot was confirmed. If the pivot just before an SCP/SFP suddenly jumps ahead of it - prev pivot was used, generating a false signal.
- last max high/min low bands can be used to check which value was used in candle comparison to generate a signal: min(pivot min_low, upivot min_low) and max(pivot max_high, upivot max_high) are used
- in the unconfirmed pivots mode the max high/min low pivot bands partially break because you can't have a variable offset to match the random pos of an unconfirmed pivot (anywhere in 0..rightBars from the current bar) to its target bar.
- in the unconfirmed pivots mode h (green) and l (red) pivots become H and L, and h (lime) and l (fuchsia) are used to show unconfirmed pivots of a smaller degree. Some of them will be confirmed later as H and L pivots of a higher degree.
Pivot Filter:
- pivot filter is used to produce a better looking zigzag. Essentially it keeps only higher highs/lower lows in the trend direction until it changes, skipping:
- after a new high: all subsequent lower highs until a new low
- after a new low: all subsequent higher lows until a new high
- you can't filter out all prev highs/lows to keep just the last min/max pivots of the current swing because they were already confirmed as pivots and you can't delete/change history
- alternatively you could just pick the first high following a low and the first low following a high in a sequence and ignore the rest of the pivots in the same dir, producing a crude looking zigzag where obvious max high/min lows are ignored.
- pivot filter affects SCP/SFP signals because it skips some pivots
- pivot filter is not applied to/not affected by the unconfirmed pivots
- zigzag is affected by pivot filter, but not by the unconfirmed pivots. You can't have both high/low on the same bar in a zigzag. High has priority over Low.
- keep same bar pivots option lets you choose which pivots to keep when there are both high/low pivots on the same bar (both kept by default)
SCP/SFP Filters:
- you can confirm/filter only SCP/SFP signals with volume % change/candle size larger than delta. Higher volume/larger candle means stronger signal.
- technically SCP/SFP is always the first matching candle, but it can be invalidated by the following signal in the opposite dir which in turn can be negated by the next signal.
- show first matching SCP/SFP = true - shows only the first signal candle (and any invalidations that follow) and hides further duplicate signals in the same dir, does not highlight the trend.
- show first matching SCP/SFP = false - produces a sequence of candles with duplicate signals, highlights the whole trend until its dir changes (new pivot).

RSS - Reversal Score System v3 [Rulph]OVERVIEW
(Russian version below)
The Reversal Score System v3 (RSS3) is a sophisticated multi-component indicator designed to identify potential market reversal zones by combining volatility pressure analysis, trend momentum measurement, and divergence detection. The system generates a normalized score ranging from -1 (bullish) to +1 (bearish), with visual cloud overlays highlighting high-probability reversal areas. RSS3 integrates multi-timeframe confirmation and adaptive divergence filtering to reduce false signals in strong trends.
CORE COMPONENTS
Volatility Pressure Index (VPI)
VPI measures volatility expansion and price compression by combining:
• RSI distance from neutral (50) to gauge momentum deviation
• Annualized volatility estimation (VIX-style) to detect stress
• Normalized candle range relative to historical volatility
• Bollinger Bands position for price extension analysis
Higher VPI values indicate overbought conditions with volatility pressure, while lower values suggest oversold compression with potential for reversal.
Trend Direction Force Index (TDFI)
TDFI quantifies directional momentum strength by analyzing:
• Divergence between fast (MMA) and slow (SMMA) moving averages
• Average momentum (impetus) between the two moving averages
• Normalized power-weighted trend force
Positive TDFI indicates strong uptrend momentum, negative values indicate downtrend force. Extreme values (>0.7 or <-0.7) trigger impulse signals.
Divergence Detection System
The indicator automatically detects classical and hidden divergences for both VPI and TDFI:
• Bullish divergences: price makes lower low while indicator makes higher low
• Bearish divergences: price makes higher high while indicator makes lower high
• Divergence bonus decays over time (customizable decay period)
• Amplitude-weighted strength multiplier
• Sequential divergence counter for confirmation
Multi-Timeframe Filter (MTF)
Optional higher timeframe analysis helps filter low-probability reversals:
• Off mode : No filtering applied
• Reduce mode : Lowers divergence bonus when counter-trend to HTF (30% reduction)
• Block mode : Completely hides divergence markers against strong HTF trend
MTF calculates VPI and TDFI on higher timeframe and blends scores based on MTF weight parameter.
FINAL SCORE CALCULATION
The final score combines:
Score = (VPI_weight × VPI) + (TDFI_weight × TDFI) - Bull_Div_Bonus + Bear_Div_Bonus
When MTF is enabled:
Final_Score = (1 - MTF_weight) × Base_Score + MTF_weight × MTF_Score
VISUAL FEATURES
Adaptive Score Clouds
Dynamic colored zones appear above/below price when reversal conditions strengthen:
• Green cloud below price : Bullish reversal zone (score < bullish threshold)
• Red cloud above price : Bearish reversal zone (score > bearish threshold)
• Cloud height : Proportional to signal strength (3× ATR maximum)
• Transparency : Decreases with stronger signals (90% weak → 50% strong)
• Threshold mode : Clouds appear only when thresholds exceeded
• Gradient mode : Clouds show accumulation from any score value
Divergence Markers
Triangle markers indicate detected divergences:
• Green/Lime triangles below price: Bullish divergences (lime = both VPI+TDFI)
• Red/Maroon triangles above price: Bearish divergences (maroon = both VPI+TDFI)
• Gray markers: Filtered divergences (when MTF filter is active)
• Offset by pivot lookback period for accuracy
Momentum Impulses
Optional arrow markers highlight strong momentum breakouts:
• Blue arrows down: Bearish momentum impulse
• Orange arrows up: Bullish momentum impulse
Info Table
Real-time statistics display in top-right corner:
• Current final score with color coding
• Individual VPI and TDFI values
• Active divergence bonuses (Bull/Short)
• MTF trend status (when enabled)
• Current filter mode
HOW TO USE
For Reversal Trading
1 — Wait for score to cross bullish threshold (<-0.5) for potential long entries or bearish threshold (>0.5) for shorts
2 — Confirm with divergence markers appearing simultaneously
3 — Look for cloud formation strengthening the signal
4 — Use MTF filter to avoid counter-trend trades
For Trend Continuation
• Impulse arrows indicate strong momentum continuation
• Use as confirmation when trading in direction of established trend
• MTF alignment provides additional confidence
For Multi-Timeframe Analysis
• Enable MTF filter and set higher timeframe (e.g., 4H on 1H chart, Daily on 4H chart)
• Use "Reduce" mode for conservative approach
• Use "Block" mode for strict trend alignment
PARAMETERS GUIDE
Score Group
• VPI Weight (0.5): Balance between volatility and trend components. Increase for volatility-focused signals.
• TDFI Weight (0.5): Balance between volatility and trend components. Increase for trend-focused signals.
• Divergence Bonus Max (0.3): Maximum contribution of divergences to score. Higher = stronger divergence impact.
Divergence Group
• Pivot Lookback (3): 2=aggressive/fast, 3=balanced, 5=conservative/slow
Multi TimeFrame Group
• Higher TF : Typically 4-16× current timeframe (e.g., 4H for 1H chart)
• MTF Weight (0.3): Influence of higher timeframe in final score
• Trend Filter Level (0.5): TDFI threshold defining "strong trend" on HTF
Visual Group
• Cloud Mode : Threshold (traditional) vs Gradient (continuous accumulation)
• Cloud Transparency : Base transparency for weak signals
Advanced Groups
Fine-tune indicator components for specific markets or timeframes. Default values work well for most assets. Increasing periods smooths signals but adds lag; decreasing periods increases sensitivity but may cause noise.
ALERTS
Six alert conditions available:
• Bullish Zone: Score crosses below bullish threshold
• Bearish Zone: Score crosses above bearish threshold
• Strong Bull Div: Both VPI+TDFI show bullish divergence (unfiltered)
• Strong Bear Div: Both VPI+TDFI show bearish divergence (unfiltered)
• Down Impulse: Bearish momentum breakout
• Up Impulse: Bullish momentum breakout
NOTES
• Works on all timeframes and asset classes (crypto, forex, stocks, indices)
• Best results on liquid markets with clear trend/reversal cycles
• Combine with price action, support/resistance, and risk management
• Divergences work best in ranging or weakening trend conditions
• Not a standalone trading system - use as confirmation tool
LIMITATIONS
• Like all indicators, RSS3 can generate false signals in choppy/sideways markets
• Divergence detection requires sufficient historical data (minimum 50-100 bars)
• MTF filter may reduce signal frequency significantly in "Block" mode
• Advanced parameters require understanding of underlying calculations

ОБЗОР
Reversal Score System v3 (RSS3) — это многокомпонентный индикатор для выявления зон потенциального разворота рынка, объединяющий анализ давления волатильности, измерение силы тренда и обнаружение дивергенций. Система генерирует нормализованный скор от -1 (бычий) до +1 (медвежий) с визуальными облаками, выделяющими зоны высокой вероятности разворота. RSS3 интегрирует подтверждение с высшего таймфрейма и адаптивную фильтрацию дивергенций для снижения ложных сигналов в сильных трендах.
ОСНОВНЫЕ КОМПОНЕНТЫ
Индекс давления волатильности (VPI)
VPI измеряет расширение волатильности и ценовое сжатие, комбинируя:
• Отклонение RSI от нейтрального уровня (50) для оценки моментума
• Оценку годовой волатильности (VIX) для определения стресса
• Нормализованный диапазон свечей относительно исторической волатильности
• Положение относительно полос Боллинджера для анализа растяжения цены
Высокие значения VPI указывают на перекупленность с давлением волатильности, низкие значения — на перепроданность со сжатием и потенциалом разворота.
Индекс силы направления тренда (TDFI)
TDFI количественно оценивает силу направленного моментума через анализ:
• Расхождения между быстрой (MMA) и медленной (SMMA) скользящими средними
• Среднего моментума (импульса) между двумя скользящими
• Нормализованной силы тренда с весовым коэффициентом
Положительный TDFI указывает на сильный восходящий моментум, отрицательные значения — на нисходящую силу. Экстремальные значения (>0.7 или <-0.7) вызывают импульсные сигналы.
Система обнаружения дивергенций
Индикатор автоматически обнаруживает классические и скрытые дивергенции для VPI и TDFI:
• Бычьи дивергенции: цена формирует более низкий минимум, индикатор — более высокий минимум
• Медвежьи дивергенции: цена формирует более высокий максимум, индикатор — более низкий максимум
• Бонус дивергенции затухает со временем (настраиваемый период затухания)
• Множитель силы, взвешенный по амплитуде
• Счётчик последовательных дивергенций для подтверждения
Мультитаймфреймовый фильтр (MTF)
Опциональный анализ высшего таймфрейма помогает отфильтровать развороты с низкой вероятностью:
• Режим Off : Фильтрация не применяется
• Режим Reduce : Снижает бонус дивергенции при контр-тренде к HTF (на 30%)
• Режим Block : Полностью скрывает маркеры дивергенций против сильного тренда HTF
MTF рассчитывает VPI и TDFI на высшем таймфрейме и смешивает скоры на основе параметра MTF weight.
РАСЧЁТ ФИНАЛЬНОГО СКОРА
Финальный скор объединяет:
Скор = (Вес_VPI × VPI) + (Вес_TDFI × TDFI) - Бонус_бычьей_див + Бонус_медвежьей_див
При включённом MTF:
Финальный_скор = (1 - Вес_MTF) × Базовый_скор + Вес_MTF × MTF_скор
ВИЗУАЛЬНЫЕ ФУНКЦИИ
Адаптивные облака скора
Динамические цветные зоны появляются выше/ниже цены при усилении условий разворота:
• Зелёное облако под ценой : Бычья зона разворота (скор < бычьего порога)
• Красное облако над ценой : Медвежья зона разворота (скор > медвежьего порога)
• Высота облака : Пропорциональна силе сигнала (максимум 3× ATR)
• Прозрачность : Уменьшается при усилении сигнала (90% слабый → 50% сильный)
• Режим Threshold : Облака появляются только при превышении порогов
• Режим Gradient : Облака показывают накопление от любого значения скора
Маркеры дивергенций
Треугольные маркеры указывают на обнаруженные дивергенции:
• Зелёные/лаймовые треугольники под ценой: Бычьи дивергенции (лайм = обе VPI+TDFI)
• Красные/бордовые треугольники над ценой: Медвежьи дивергенции (бордо = обе VPI+TDFI)
• Серые маркеры: Отфильтрованные дивергенции (когда активен MTF-фильтр)
• Смещение на период pivot lookback для точности
Импульсы моментума
Опциональные стрелки выделяют сильные импульсные прорывы:
• Синие стрелки вниз: Медвежий импульс моментума
• Оранжевые стрелки вверх: Бычий импульс моментума
Информационная таблица
Статистика в реальном времени в правом верхнем углу:
• Текущий финальный скор с цветовой кодировкой
• Отдельные значения VPI и TDFI
• Активные бонусы дивергенций (Bull/Short)
• Статус тренда MTF (при включении)
• Текущий режим фильтра
КАК ИСПОЛЬЗОВАТЬ
Для торговли на разворотах
1 — Дождитесь пересечения скором бычьего порога (<-0.5) для потенциальных лонгов или медвежьего порога (>0.5) для шортов
2 — Подтвердите одновременным появлением маркеров дивергенций
3 — Ищите формирование облака, усиливающего сигнал
4 — Используйте MTF-фильтр для избегания контр-трендовых сделок
Для продолжения тренда
• Импульсные стрелки указывают на сильное продолжение моментума
• Используйте как подтверждение при торговле в направлении установленного тренда
• Выравнивание MTF даёт дополнительную уверенность
Для мультитаймфреймового анализа
• Включите MTF-фильтр и установите высший таймфрейм (например, 4H на графике 1H, Daily на 4H)
• Используйте режим "Reduce" для консервативного подхода
• Используйте режим "Block" для строгого выравнивания по тренду
РУКОВОДСТВО ПО ПАРАМЕТРАМ
Группа Score
• VPI Weight (0.5): Баланс между компонентами волатильности и тренда. Увеличьте для сигналов, ориентированных на волатильность.
• TDFI Weight (0.5): Баланс между компонентами волатильности и тренда. Увеличьте для сигналов, ориентированных на тренд.
• Divergence Bonus Max (0.3): Максимальный вклад дивергенций в скор. Выше = сильнее влияние дивергенций.
Группа Divergence
• Pivot Lookback (3): 2=агрессивно/быстро, 3=сбалансированно, 5=консервативно/медленно
Группа Multi TimeFrame
• Higher TF : Обычно в 4-16 раз больше текущего таймфрейма (например, 4H для графика 1H)
• MTF Weight (0.3): Влияние высшего таймфрейма в финальном скоре
• Trend Filter Level (0.5): Порог TDFI, определяющий "сильный тренд" на HTF
Группа Visual
• Cloud Mode : Threshold (традиционный) vs Gradient (непрерывное накопление)
• Cloud Transparency : Базовая прозрачность для слабых сигналов
Группы Advanced
Тонкая настройка компонентов индикатора для конкретных рынков или таймфреймов. Значения по умолчанию хорошо работают для большинства активов. Увеличение периодов сглаживает сигналы, но добавляет задержку; уменьшение периодов увеличивает чувствительность, но может вызвать шум.
АЛЕРТЫ
Доступны шесть условий для алертов:
• Bullish Zone: Скор пересекает бычий порог снизу вверх
• Bearish Zone: Скор пересекает медвежий порог сверху вниз
• Strong Bull Div: Обе VPI+TDFI показывают бычью дивергенцию (не отфильтровано)
• Strong Bear Div: Обе VPI+TDFI показывают медвежью дивергенцию (не отфильтровано)
• Down Impulse: Медвежий импульсный прорыв
• Up Impulse: Бычий импульсный прорыв
ПРИМЕЧАНИЯ
• Работает на всех таймфреймах и классах активов (крипто, форекс, акции, индексы)
• Лучшие результаты на ликвидных рынках с чёткими циклами тренд/разворот
• Комбинируйте с price action, уровнями поддержки/сопротивления и риск-менеджментом
• Дивергенции лучше всего работают в условиях флэта или ослабления тренда
• Не является самостоятельной торговой системой - используйте как инструмент подтверждения
ОГРАНИЧЕНИЯ
• Как все индикаторы, RSS3 может генерировать ложные сигналы в изменчивых/боковых рынках
• Обнаружение дивергенций требует достаточного объёма исторических данных (минимум 50-100 баров)
• MTF-фильтр может значительно снизить частоту сигналов в режиме "Block"
• Продвинутые параметры требуют понимания базовых расчётов

RSI Regime & Reversals (Leading) — Bull/Bear Trend Finder📈 RSI Regime & Reversals (Leading) — Bull/Bear Trend Finder
This advanced RSI-based tool helps identify bullish and bearish market trends before they happen — combining classic RSI analysis with Cardwell-style reversals and range shift detection to act as a leading indicator rather than a lagging one.
🧠 Core Concept
The script detects when RSI behavior “shifts ranges,” a signature of trend changes:
• Bull Regime — RSI pullbacks hold above ~40 (momentum stays strong)
• Bear Regime — RSI rallies stall below ~60 (momentum weakens)
It then looks for leading clues inside those regimes:
• ✅ Positive Reversal: Price makes a higher low while RSI makes a lower low — a bullish continuation or early trend reversal signal.
• ❌ Negative Reversal: Price makes a lower high while RSI makes a higher high — an early warning of weakness.
• 🔁 Classic Divergences: Confirms reversals when RSI and price diverge at pivot points.
🎯 Signals
• Green “▲ Bull lead” — bullish reversal or divergence detected.
• Red “▼ Bear lead” — bearish reversal or divergence detected.
• Optional background shading:
• 🟩 Teal = Bullish regime
• 🟥 Red = Bearish regime
⚙️ Customization
• Regime sensitivity — Adjust RSI floor/ceiling for your asset’s volatility.
• Pivot sensitivity — Tune pivot lookback (L/R bars) for faster or slower signals.
• RSI smoothing — Filters noise without losing responsiveness.
• Alerts included — Trigger TradingView alerts for bullish or bearish leading signals.
🕵️♂️ Why it’s different
Unlike standard RSI divergences (which confirm after the move), this indicator uses positive/negative reversals to identify potential trend shifts early — a technique favored by Andrew Cardwell’s RSI analysis.
📊 Works great for:
• Swing trading and trend detection
• Spotting momentum regime shifts
• Stocks, crypto, FX, indices

Hybrid Momentum Suite [QuantAlgo]The Hybrid Momentum Suite is an advanced momentum-based technical indicator that utilizes a weighted fusion of RSI and CCI, combined with adaptive boundary detection to help traders and investors identify momentum strength and potential reversal zones across different timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Hybrid Momentum Suite employs a dual-component approach to momentum analysis, incorporating:
Hybrid RSI-CCI Calculation: Uses a customizable ratio for momentum signature creation, allowing traders and investors to balance the characteristics of both indicators
Bi-Directional Component Separation: Automatically separates unified momentum into distinct bullish and bearish forces for independent analysis
Adaptive Impulse Boundary: Uses exponential moving average combined with standard deviation multipliers to detect momentum exhaustion zones
Multi-Level Gradient Visualization: Applies sophisticated layering with varying transparency to show momentum strength and direction changes
The indicator processes price data through multiple filtering stages, applying mathematical principles including weighted averaging, component isolation, and statistical variance analysis. This creates a momentum system that adapts to market volatility while maintaining clarity in directional bias and strength quantification.
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Bi-Directional Component Separation
The indicator presents momentum through mathematically isolated histograms that separate bullish and bearish forces for independent analysis.
When bullish momentum is dominant, the bullish component (green) shows greater amplitude than the bearish component.
Similarly, when bearish momentum is dominant, the bearish component (red) shows greater amplitude than the bullish component.
During transitional periods, components may show equal strength, indicating momentum equilibrium.
This visualization provides immediate insights into:
→ Competing market forces simultaneously
→ Momentum exhaustion before reversals
→ Quantified momentum strength across different timeframes
2. Real-Time Status Update
The indicator features a comprehensive analysis dashboard that operates with dynamic strength classification:
The dashboard automatically categorizes momentum from "Very Weak" to "Very Strong" based on component amplitude.
Historical comparison displays previous bar metrics for trend analysis, helping traders and investors understand momentum persistence.
Color-coded visualization matches histogram components for immediate recognition of market bias.
Adaptive positioning offers nine customizable table locations for optimal display across different chart layouts.
Regardless of position, the dashboard displays:
Current momentum direction (BULLISH or BEARISH)
Momentum strength percentage (0-100%)
Previous bar comparison for trend persistence
Active component colors for visual consistency
This comprehensive approach helps traders and investors:
→ Assess current momentum strength quantitatively
→ Identify momentum shifts through historical comparison
→ Make informed decisions based on momentum context
3. Reversal Signal Detection System
The indicator generates trading signals using advanced multi-factor validation:
Exhaustion signals are detected when components cross down after exceeding statistical boundaries, indicating potential momentum reversals.
Trend flip alerts are generated when component dominance changes (bull>bear or bear>bull), signaling directional shifts.
Boundary interaction monitoring tracks crossovers above/below impulse threshold for extreme momentum identification.
Visual markers ( X ) are positioned using mathematical placement algorithms for clear signal identification.
The indicator also features a comprehensive alert system with notifications for:
Bullish potential reversals
Bearish potential reversals
Trend flip signals
Momentum boundary crossings
*Alerts can be customized and delivered through TradingView's notification system, making it easy to stay informed of important momentum developments even when away from the charts.
4. Conditional Bar Coloring
The indicator provides optional price bar coloring based on momentum analysis:
Bars are colored based on dominant momentum component (bullish/bearish).
Reversal conditions are highlighted with specialized coloring (default orange).
Color transparency adjusts based on momentum strength for immediate visual feedback.
Bar coloring can be toggled on/off to suit different chart aesthetics and personal preferences.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
→ Component Analysis and Interpretation: The indicator visualizes momentum direction and strength through separate components, allowing traders to immediately identify dominant market forces. This helps in assessing potential for continuation or reversal.
→ Signal Generation Strategies: The indicator generates potential trading signals based on component crossovers, boundary violations, and momentum exhaustion. Users can focus on reversal signals at statistical extremes or trend-following signals during component dominance.
→ Multi-Component Assessment: Through its bi-directional approach, the indicator enables users to understand competing forces within the same timeframe. This helps in identifying momentum equilibrium and potential turning points.
🟢 Pro Tips
Adjust RSI/CCI ratio based on market conditions:
→ High ratios (70-100) for mean-reverting markets and longer timeframes
→ Low ratios (0-30) for trending markets and shorter timeframes
→ Default 50/50 for balanced momentum assessment across market types
Fine-tune impulse boundary based on volatility:
→ Lower boundary lengths (20-30) for more frequent reversal signals
→ Higher lengths (40-60) for only major momentum extremes
→ Adjust standard deviation multiplier (2.0-4.0) based on market volatility
Look for confluence between components:
→ Component divergence as early reversal warning
→ Simultaneous extreme readings for high-probability setups
→ Component correlation with price for confirmation
Use for multiple trading approaches:
→ Reversal trading at component extremes near impulse boundary
→ Trend following when components show clear dominance
→ Early momentum shift detection with gradient fading patterns
→ Position sizing based on component strength percentage
Combine with:
→ Support/resistance analysis for strategic entry and exit points
→ Volume indicators for momentum validation
→ Multiple timeframe analysis for broader market context
→ Price action patterns for confirmation of reversal signals
VWAP Fibonacci Bands (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The VWAP Fibonacci Bands is a sophisticated yet user-friendly indicator designed to assist traders in visualizing market trends, volatility, and potential support/resistance levels. Developed by Zeiierman, this tool integrates the MIDAS (Market Interpretation Data Analysis System) methodology with Standard Deviation Bands and user-defined Fibonacci levels to provide a comprehensive market analysis framework.
This indicator is built for traders who want a dynamic and customizable approach to understanding market movements, offering features that adapt to varying market conditions. Whether you're a scalper, swing trader, or long-term investor.
█ How It Works
⚪ Anchor Point System
The indicator begins its calculations based on an anchor point, which can be set to:
A specific date for historical analysis or alignment with significant market events.
A timeframe-based reset, dynamically restarting calculations at the beginning of each selected period (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly).
This dual-anchor method ensures flexibility, allowing the indicator to align with various trading strategies.
⚪ MIDAS Calculation
The MIDAS calculation is central to this indicator. It uses cumulative price and volume data to compute a volume-weighted average price (VWAP), offering a trendline that reflects the true value weighted by trading activity.
⚪ Standard Deviation Bands
The upper and lower bands are calculated using the standard deviation of price movements around the MIDAS line.
⚪ Fibonacci Levels
User-defined Fibonacci ratios are used to plot additional support and resistance levels between the bands. These levels provide visual cues for potential price reversals or trend continuations.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
Uptrend: The price remains above the MIDAS line.
Downtrend: The price stays below the MIDAS line and aligns with the lower bands.
⚪ Support and Resistance
The upper and lower bands act as support and resistance levels.
Fibonacci levels provide intermediate zones for potential price reversals.
⚪ Volatility Analysis
Wider bands indicate periods of high volatility.
Narrower bands suggest low-volatility conditions, often preceding breakouts.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Conditions
Look for the price beyond the upper or lower bands to identify extreme conditions.
█ Settings
Set Anchor Method
Anchor Method: Choose between Timeframe or Date to define the starting point of calculations.
Anchor Timeframe: For Timeframe mode, specify the interval (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
Anchor Date: For Date mode, set the exact starting date for historical alignment.
Set Std Dev Multiplier
Controls the width of the bands:
Higher values widen the bands, filtering out minor fluctuations.
Lower values tighten the bands for more responsive analysis.
Set Fibonacci Levels
Define custom Fibonacci ratios (e.g., 0.236, 0.382) to plot intermediate levels between the bands.
█ Tips for Fine-Tuning
⚪ For Trend Trading:
Use higher Std Dev Multipliers to focus on long-term trends and avoid noise. Adjust Anchor Timeframe to Weekly or Monthly for broader trend analysis.
⚪ For Reversal Trading:
Tighten the bands with a lower Std Dev Multiplier.
Use shorter anchor timeframes for intraday reversals (e.g., Hourly).
⚪ For Volatile Markets:
Increase the Std Dev Multiplier to accommodate wider price swings.
⚪ For Quiet Markets:
Decrease the Std Dev Multiplier to highlight smaller fluctuations.

Golden Swap (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Golden Swap indicator, as designed by Zeiierman, focuses on identifying reversal points around the key levels indicated by the indicator. This pattern works by analyzing the relationship between current and past price movements, considering factors like price symmetry, baseline boundaries, and precision pin bar formations. It can offer insights into potential market reversals, allowing for more precise entries and exits.
█ How It Works
Golden Swap Long
In a market with bullish momentum, we expect the price to dip a bit before it continues to rise again. This dip is like a small retreat in an overall march upwards. So, the pattern aims to assess whether the current period's dip is relatively shallow, indicating that the overall bullish momentum remains robust despite temporary price fluctuations.
Golden Swap Short
In a market with bearish momentum (indicating selling pressure or bearish sentiment), we may still see the price rise a bit before continuing its drop. This temporary rise is like a slight bounce in an overall downward movement. In simpler terms, even when the price bounces up a bit, it's not strong enough to overcome the recent pressure of selling. The sellers are still dominating, and the price will likely continue to drop.
█ The signal is reinforced by symmetry, BaselineBound criteria, and a bearish Precision PinBar.
⚪ Symmetry in Price Movements: The pattern uses the Symmetry Precision filter to analyze the symmetry of recent price movements. This helps in determining the likelihood of a reversal. A high degree of symmetry suggests a more reliable reversal signal.
⚪ BaselineBound Criteria: This component involves the BaselineBound Threshold, which acts as a filter to validate the strength of the potential reversal. Bullish and bearish conditions are assessed based on how the current close price compares to a calculated range around the high and low of the previous period.
⚪ Precision PinBar Analysis: The pattern also incorporates the Precision PinBar filter, which evaluates the characteristics of the recent price bars. A Precision PinBar is a candlestick with a small body and a long tail, indicating a potential reversal.
⚪ Display of Key Levels: The indicator can show Open, High, and Low levels for selected timeframes, helping traders identify key price points.
█ How to Use
The Golden Swap pattern is a valuable confirmation tool, particularly around key levels or session highs and lows. It highlights instances where a previous high or low has been respected, followed by a price reversal—flipping back up in an upward trend (Golden Swap Long) or flipping back down in a downward trend (Golden Swap Short). When this pattern emerges near a key level, it strongly suggests that the price will continue moving in the direction indicated by the current trend.
Consider it akin to a minor liquidity hunt above the previous high or below the previous low. The presence of the Golden Swap pattern, especially when aligned with other indicators and filters, enhances its reliability as a signal for the continuation of the prevailing market trend.
█ Settings
Timeframe Selection: Choose from various timeframes for signal calculation.
Filter Adjustments: Fine-tune the Symmetry Precision, BaselineBound Threshold, and Precision PinBar settings to filter signals according to specific criteria.
Display Options for Key Levels: Enable or disable the display of key price levels and select timeframes for these levels.

MTF Fusion - PSAR [TradingIndicators]MTF Fusion PSAR intelligently adapts to whatever timeframe you're trading - dynamically calculating Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) levels combined from four appropriate higher timeframes to give you a much broader view of the market and an edge in your trading decisions. It is the third indicator in our MTF Fusion series, and leverages our MTF Fusion algorithm - only this time to visualize J. Welles Wilder Jr.'s famous Parabolic SAR indicator.
What is MTF Fusion?
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Fusion is the process of combining calculations from multiple timeframes higher than the chart's into one 'fused' value or indicator. It is based on the idea that integrating data from higher timeframes can help us to better identify short-term trading opportunities within the context of long-term market trends.
How does it work?
Let's use the context of this indicator, which calculates PSAR levels, as an example to explain how MTF Fusion works and how you can perform it yourself.
Step 1: Selecting Higher Timeframes
The first step is to determine the appropriate higher timeframes to use for the fusion calculation. These timeframes should typically be chosen based on their ability to provide meaningful price levels and action which actively affect the price action of the smaller timeframe you're focused on. For example, if you are trading the 5 minute chart, you might select the 15 minute, 30 minute, and hourly timeframe as the higher timeframes you want to fuse in order to give you a more holistic view of the trends and action affecting you on the 5 minute. In this indicator, four higher timeframes are automatically selected depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to.
Step 2: Gathering Data and Calculations
Once the higher timeframes are identified, the next step is to calculate the data from these higher timeframes that will be used to calculate your fused values. In this indicator, for example, the values of PSAR levels are calculated by determining the value of the PSAR indicator for all four higher timeframes.
Step 3: Fusing the Values From Higher Timeframes
The next step is to actually combine the values from these higher timeframes to obtain your 'fused' indicator values. The simplest approach to this is to simply average them. If you have calculated the value of a PSAR level from three higher timeframes, you can, for example, calculate your 'multi-timeframe fused level' as (HigherTF_PSAR_Level_1 + HigherTF_PSAR_Level_2 + HigherTF_PSAR_Level_3) / 3.0.
Step 4: Visualization and Interpretation
Once the calculations are complete, the resulting fused indicator values are plotted on the chart. These values reflect the fusion of data from the multiple higher timeframes, giving a broader perspective on the market's behavior and potentially valuable insights without the need to manually consider values from each higher timeframe yourself.
What makes this script unique? Why is it closed source?
While the process described above is fairly unique and sounds simple, the truly important key lies in determining which higher timeframes to fuse together, and how to weight their values when calculating the fused end result in such a way that best leverages their relationship for useful TA.
This MTF Fusion indicator employs a smart, adaptive algorithm which automatically selects appropriate higher timeframes to use in fusion calculations depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to. It also uses a dynamic algorithm to adjust and weight the PSAR calculations depending on each higher timeframe's relationship to the chart timeframe. These algorithms are based on extensive testing and are the reason behind this script's closed source status.
What is the PSAR indicator?
The Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps identify potential trend reversals in price movements. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and is widely used by traders to determine entry and exit points in the market. It consists of levels that are plotted above or below current price. The position of these plots relative to the price provides valuable information about the prevailing trend and potential reversal points.
Here's how the original PSAR indicator works:
Upward Trend: When the Parabolic SAR level is plotted below the price, it indicates an upward trend in the market. The level generally moves closer to the price as the trend progresses. This creates a parabolic curve that rises with time. Traders typically interpret this as a bullish signal, suggesting that it may be a good time to buy or hold positions.
Downward Trend: Conversely, when the Parabolic SAR level is plotted above the price, it indicates a downward trend in the market. The plot generally moves closer to the price as the trend continues, forming a parabolic curve that declines with time. This is considered a bearish signal, suggesting that it may be a suitable time to sell or avoid taking long positions.
Reversal Points: The primary purpose of the Parabolic SAR indicator is to identify potential trend reversals. When the price crosses above or below the Parabolic SAR level, it indicates a possible reversal in the trend.
The Parabolic SAR indicator is versatile and can be used in various market conditions and timeframes. It is particularly useful in trending markets, where it helps traders ride the trend and capture potential profits. However, it's important to note that the Parabolic SAR may generate false signals or provide delayed indications in sideways or choppy markets.

Session candles & reversals / quantifytools— Overview
Like traditional candles, session based candles are a visualization of open, high, low and close values, but based on session time periods instead of typical timeframes such as daily or weekly. Session candles are formed by fetching price at session start (open), highest price during session (high), lowest price during session (low) and price at session end (close). On top of candles, session based moving average is formed and session reversals detected. Session reversals are also backtested, using win rate and magnitude metrics to better understand what to expect from session reversals and which ones have historically performed the best.
By default, following session time periods are used:
Session #1: London (08:00 - 17:00, UTC)
Session #2: New York (13:00 - 22:00, UTC)
Session #3: Sydney (21:00 - 06:00, UTC)
Session #4: Tokyo (00:00 - 09:00, UTC)
Session time periods can be changed via input menu.
— Reversals
Session reversals are patterns that show a rapid change in direction during session. These formations are more familiarly known as wicks or engulfing candles. Following criteria must be met to qualify as a session reversal:
Wick up:
Lower high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range (0% being the very low, 100% being the very high) and open >= 40% of session range.
Wick down:
Higher high, higher low, close <= 35% of session range and open <= 60% of session range.
Engulfing up:
Higher high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range.
Engulfing down:
Higher high, lower low, close <= 35% of session range.
Session reversals are always based on prior corresponding session , e.g. to qualify as a NY session engulfing up, NY session must have a higher high and lower low relative to prior NY session , not just any session that has taken place in between. Session reversals should be viewed the same way wicks/engulfing formations are viewed on traditional timeframe based candles. Essentially, wick reversals (light green/red labels) tell you most of the motion during session was reversed. Engulfing reversals (dark green/red labels) on the other hand tell you all of the motion was reversed and new direction set.
— Backtesting
Session reversals are backtested using win rate and magnitude metrics. A session reversal is considered successful when next corresponding session closes higher/lower than session reversal close . Win rate is formed by dividing successful session reversal count with total reversal count, e.g. 5 successful reversals up / 10 reversals up total = 50% win rate. Win rate tells us what are the odds (historically) of session reversal producing a clean supporting move that was persistent enough to close that way too.
When a session reversal is successful, its magnitude is measured using percentage increase/decrease from session reversal close to next corresponding session high/low . If NY session closes higher than prior NY session that was a reversal up, the percentage increase from prior session close (reversal close) to current session high is measured. If NY session closes lower than prior NY session that was a reversal down, the percentage decrease from prior session close to current session low is measured.
Average magnitude is formed by dividing all percentage increases/decreases with total reversal count, e.g. 10 total reversals up with 1% increase each -> 10% net increase from all reversals -> 10% total increase / 10 total reversals up = 1% average magnitude. Magnitude metric supports win rate by indicating the depth of successful session reversal moves.
To better understand the backtesting calculations and more importantly to verify their validity, backtesting visuals for each session can be plotted on the chart:
All backtesting results are shown in the backtesting panel on top right corner, with highest win rates and magnitude metrics for both reversals up and down marked separately. Note that past performance is not a guarantee of future performance and session reversals as they are should not be viewed as a complete strategy for long/short plays. Always make sure reversal count is sufficient to draw reliable conclusions of performance.
— Session moving average
Users can form a session based moving average with their preferred smoothing method (SMA , EMA , HMA , WMA , RMA) and length, as well as choose which sessions to include in the moving average. For example, a moving average based on New York and Tokyo sessions can be formed, leaving London and Sydney completely out of the calculation.
— Visuals
By default, script hides your candles/bars, although in the case of candles borders will still be visible. Switching to bars/line will make your regular chart visuals 100% hidden. This setting can be turned off via input menu. As some sessions overlap, each session candle can be separately offsetted forward, clearing the overlaps. Users can also choose which session candles to show/hide.
Session periods can be highlighted on the chart as a background color, applicable to only session candles that are activated. By default, session reversals are referred to as L (London), N (New York), S (Sydney) and T (Tokyo) in both reversal labels and backtesting table. By toggling on "Numerize sessions", these will be replaced with 1, 2, 3 and 4. This will be helpful when using a custom session that isn't any of the above.
Visual settings example:
Session candles are plotted in two formats, using boxes and lines as well as plotcandle() function. Session candles constructed using boxes and lines will be clear and much easier on the eyes, but will apply only to first 500 bars due to Tradingview related limitations. Rest of the session candles go back indefinitely, but won't be as clean:
All colors can be customized via input menu.
— Timeframe & session time period considerations
As a rule of thumb, session candles should be used on timeframes at or below 1H, as higher timeframes might not match with session period start/end, leading to incorrect plots. Using 1 hour timeframe will bring optimal results as greatest amount historical data is available without sacrificing accuracy of OHLC values. If you are using a custom session that is not based on hourly period (e.g. 08:00 - 15:00 vs. 08.00 - 15.15) make sure you are using a timeframe that allows correct plots.
Session time periods applied by default are rough estimates and might be out of bounds on some charts, like NYSE listed equities. This is rarely a problem on assets that have extensive trading hours, like futures or cryptocurrency. If a session is out of bounds (asset isn't traded during the set session time period) the script won't plot given session candle and its backtesting metrics will be NA. This can be fixed by changing the session time periods to match with given asset trading hours, although you will have to consider whether or not this defeats the purpose of having candles based on sessions.
— Practical guide
Whether based on traditional timeframes or sessions, reversals should always be considered as only one piece of evidence of price turning. Never react to them without considering other factors that might support the thesis, such as levels and multi-timeframe analysis. In short, same basic charting principles apply with session candles that apply with normal candles. Use discretion.
Example #1 : Focusing efforts on session reversals at distinct support/resistance levels
A reversal against a level holds more value than a reversal by itself, as you know it's a placement where liquidity can be expected. A reversal serves as a confirming reaction for this expectation.
Example #2 : Focusing efforts on highest performing reversals and avoiding poorly performing ones
As you have data backed evidence of session reversal performance, it makes sense to focus your efforts on the ones that perform best. If some session reversal is clearly performing poorly, you would want to avoid it, since there's nothing backing up its validity.
Example #3 : Reversal clusters
Two is better than one, three is better than two and so on. If there are rapid changes in direction within multiple sessions consecutively, there's heavier evidence of a dynamic shift in price. In such case, it makes sense to hold more confidence in price halting/turning.
Volume NodesVolume Nodes Indicator:
What This Indicator Does:
The Volume Nodes indicator identifies and visualizes statistically significant volume events on your chart, helping you identify important price levels where substantial trading activity has occurred. Unlike standard volume indicators, Volume Nodes:
Uses statistical analysis (z-scores) to identify truly abnormal volume bars
Calculates accurate buy/sell volume ratios by analyzing all lower timeframe data
Identifies the Volume Point of Control (VPOC) for high volume areas
Visualizes significant volume ranges as they extend across the chart
Tracks when price interacts with these important levels
Key Features:
High Volume Detection: Highlights bars with unusually high volume (z-score above threshold)
Low Volume Detection: Highlights bars with unusually low volume (z-score below threshold)
VPOC Lines: Horizontal lines showing the exact price level with maximum volume concentration
Volume Range Fills: Shaded areas showing the entire price range with significant volume
Accurate Volume Metrics: Shows true buy/sell volume ratios or delta percentages derived from lower timeframe data
How to Use It in Your Trading: **Move to front in the visual order on chart**
Step 1: Identify Important Volume Zones
High Volume Bars (green/red candles) indicate where significant buying or selling has occurred
VPOC Lines extending from these bars show you the exact price level with highest volume
Range Fills show you the entire zone where significant volume occurred
Step 2: Use These Levels for Trading Decisions
Support/Resistance: VPOC lines often act as support or resistance levels
Breakout Validation: Breakouts on high volume are more likely to be valid
Low Volume Warning: Low volume bars (yellow) often indicate indecision or potential reversals
Trading with Volume Flow: Use the buy/sell ratio or delta % to confirm the strength and direction of moves
Step 3: Monitor Price Interaction with Volume Zones
When price approaches a VPOC line, watch for reaction (bounce or breakout)
When price enters a volume range area, increased volatility often follows
When price crosses a VPOC line, the line changes transparency indicating it's been tested
Tips for Optimal Use
Higher Timeframes: The indicator works exceptionally well on higher timeframes (4H, daily, weekly) where volume patterns are more significant
Range Trading: Use volume nodes to identify the boundaries of trading ranges
Combine with Price Action: Look for price action confirmation (rejections, engulfing patterns) at VPOC levels
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Compare volume nodes across different timeframes to find confluent levels
Alert Setup: Set up alerts for when price enters important volume zones or crosses VPOC lines
Reversal Signals: High volume bars with significant wicks often signal exhaustion points where smart money is transferring positions. Bullish candles with long upper wicks suggest sellers absorbing buying pressure at highs, while bearish candles with long lower wicks indicate buyers stepping in at lows - both potentially signaling momentum shifts that precede reversals.
The indicator is particularly valuable for identifying levels where large players have been active in the market and are likely to defend or act again in the future.
Half-Trend Channel [BigBeluga]Half Trend Channel is a powerful trend-following indicator designed to identify trend direction, fakeouts, and potential reversal points. The combination of upper/lower bands, midline coloring, and specific signals makes it ideal for spotting trend continuation and market reversals.
The base of the channel is calculated using smoothed half-trend logic.
// Initialize half trend on the first bar
if barstate.isfirst
hl_t := close
// Update half trend value based on conditions
switch
closeMA < hl_t and highestHigh < hl_t => hl_t := highestHigh
closeMA > hl_t and lowestLow > hl_t => hl_t := lowestLow
=> hl_t := hl_t
// Smooth
float s_hlt = ta.hma(hl_t, len)
🔵 Key Features:
Upper and Lower Bands:
The bands adapt dynamically to market volatility.
Price movements toward the bands help identify areas of overextension and potential reversal points.
Midline Trend Signal:
The midline changes color to reflect the current trend:
Green Midline: Indicates an uptrend.
Purple Midline: Signals a downtrend.
Fakeout Signals ("X"):
"X" markers appear when price briefly breaches the outer bands but fails to sustain the move.
Fakeouts help traders identify areas where price momentum weakens.
Reversal Signals (Triangles):
Triangles (▲ and ▼) mark potential tops and bottoms:
▲ Up Triangles: Suggest a potential bottom and a reversal to the upside.
▼ Down Triangles: Indicate a potential top and a reversal to the downside.
Dynamic Trend Labels:
At the last bar, the indicator displays labels like "Trend Up" or "Trend Dn" , reflecting the current trend direction.
🔵 Usage:
Use the colored midline to determine the overall trend direction.
Monitor "X" fakeout signals to spot failed breakouts or momentum exhaustion near the bands.
Watch for reversal triangles (▲ and ▼) to identify potential trend reversals at tops or bottoms.
Combine the bands and midline signals to confirm trade entries and exits:
Enter long trades when price bounces off the lower band with a green midline.
Consider short trades when price reverses from the upper band with a purple midline.
Use the trend label (e.g., "Trend Up" or "Trend Dn") for quick confirmation of the current market state.
The Half Trend Channel is an essential tool for traders who want to follow trends, avoid fakeouts, and identify reliable tops and bottoms to optimize their trading decisions.

It maintains a sequence of these pivots and verifies the formation of these patterns based on the relationship between consecutive pivots and the proximity to a defined limit. When a double top or double bottom is confirmed, the indicator marks the second pivot point with a label and draws trend lines to visualize the reversal pattern. Additionally, it provides alert conditions to notify traders of potential confirmations, enhancing decision-making without cluttering the chart.
⚠️ Important Reminder : The labels indicating double tops and bottoms appear with a delay and are intended to mark the formations after they have already formed. They are not meant to be used as real-time trading signals. While they align perfectly with pivot points in hindsight, please use them as markers for analysis rather than immediate trading triggers.

🔍 How It Works
The Efficiency Weighted Orderflow Indicator starts by calculating the efficiency of price movements using the absolute difference between the close and open prices, divided by volume. The order flow is then computed by summing these efficiency-weighted volumes over a specified period, with an option to apply Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for enhanced signal stability. To ensure robust comparison, the order flow is normalized using standard deviation. The indicator plots these values as columns, with distinct colors representing bullish and bearish trends. Customizable parameters for period length and smoothing allow traders to tailor the indicator to their strategies. Additionally, visual cues and alert conditions for trend reversals and significant order flow changes keep traders informed and ready to act. This indicator improves on the Orderflow aspect of our Standardized Orderflow indicator. The Efficiency Weighted Orderflow is less susceptible to noise and is also quicker at detecting trend changes.
Period Value ZonesPeriod Value Zones is designed to help traders understand where current value is being found by splitting the day into 3 key periods based on common reversal times recognized for intraday trading.
By splitting the day into 3 periods, we can more efficiently determine where short-term value lies by using only the data we consider relevant during these periods of time.
> Overview
This indicator is recommended for low timeframe trading during the New York RTH Session.
By only trading within this session, we can ensure that volume and volatility remain fairly consistent.
Within each Period, you will find on the chart:
Value Area Points from Previous period (Value High(VAH)/Value Low(VAL)/Point of Control(POC))
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) Cloud, based on High and Low values during the period.
Value Zone based Potential Reversal Zones.
Additional Displays:
Potential Reversal Detection Signals with Invalidation Levels
Forward Plotted Key Market times.
> Components
• Value Area Points
VAH/VAL/POC are important volume profile points which display where the market has previously held value.
We use these specific levels as support and resistance to confirm direction by monitoring interactions between price and these important levels.
The VAH and VAL lines change colors based on price's interaction with them to confirm whether that level should be regarded as support or resistance.
• VWAP Cloud
VWAP is a common metric used to determine the strength of a trend, and provides a point to look for re-bid & re-offer.
When price breaks out of our Fixed Value zone, VWAP helps us determine further direction.
Also included is VWAP deviation bands, for traders who would prefer to view the standard deviation away from this cloud as well.
• Value Reversal Zones
These Zones are calculated based on extensions of the Period Value Zone.
While in a balanced market, these zones have been shown to provide potential reversal opportunities.
• Potential Reversal Signals
These signals are based on an advanced method for confirming a higher-low or lower-high to reasonably create a signal that is not very laggy but also rooted in sound logic.
While helpful, These are NOT buy or sell signals, and you should always use further analysis to decide the next steps to take.
When a signal appears, an associated invalidation level is also displayed, if this level is crossed the associated signal is no longer considered relevant.
• Key Market Times
These are important times within the day that normally produce volatility caused by daily market catalysts.
Each key time is forward plotted 1 hour before it occurs to provide a clear heads up for potential opportunity.
Opening Fuel: Known for having an increase in Volume after the formation of the 15min Opening Range.
1st Reversal: Common Area for seeing initial large positioning effecting the market, often causing reversals.
Initial Balance Close: End of the first hour, a common positioning tool for futures traders.
2nd Reversal: Positioning is typically reactionary to IB Close, alongside Euro Traders Exiting Positions.
Euro Close: Close of Europe Session, a common positioning tool for futures traders.
Lunch: Usually Low Volume, traders are often out to lunch.
Lunch End: Volume tends to re-enter, as traders come back from lunch.
1st Reversal: New Hour, common area to see large position re-enter the market.
Bonds Close: Bonds markets close, Equities reacting to close of the bond market.
1st MOC: Initial Market on Close orders are places, market reaction is normally expected off of MOC positioning.
MOC Close: As MOC orders are reported, volatility is likely found within the market.
> Methodology
This indicator can be used with the same principles as trading balanced volume profiles.
Rule 1: Unless the price breaks and holds Value High or Value Low, we should expect buyers and sellers to maintain the current balance.
Rule 2: If we break and push away from the Period Value High, we should treat that level as supportive on retest unless we look back below and sellers defend on retest.
Rule 3: If we break and push away from the Period Value Low, we should treat that level as resistance on retest unless we look back above and buyers defend on retest.
Rule 4: If we recover Value Low, and it becomes supportive, we look for our Period POC and Period Value High as our targets above.
Rule 5: If we fail to hold Period Value High, and it becomes resistance, we look for our Period POC and Period Value Low as targets below.
Balance in the context of this indicator is considered as the area between Period Value High and Period Value Low
Acceptance outside of balance in the context of this indicator is considered as Period Value Low or High, becoming supportive or resistance.
> Examples
Theoretical Example:
In the bullish example below, price holds VWAP and makes POC supportive, showing interest from buyers pushing to Value High.
Real-World Example:
Below is an example of the same setup as the theoretical example, taking place on a real futures chart.
By utilizing these rules, we can look for opportunities at these levels and have a plan for how we should be interacting with them.
This will help us determine likely targets and risk-off levels that are based on volume and current "value" from participants.

Ultimate Momentum Indicator [CC]This is a custom indicator of mine loosely based on the work by Steve J Godwin & Louisa C Schneider (Stocks and Commodities Feb 2021 pg 22) and this works pretty well at anticipating future price swings as the momentum falls. The idea I was going for was to introduce the idea of reversals in combination with a momentum indicator so you can better identify peaks and valleys. I have included strong buy and signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors are the strong buy and sell signals and lighter colors are the normal ones. I would recommend to buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like me to publish!
Multi-Candle Reversal ConfirmationMulti-Candle Reversal Confirmation (MCRC)
This indicator identifies potential price reversals using a 3-candle confirmation pattern. It filters out noise by requiring a significant prior trend before signaling, helping you catch turning points rather than getting trapped in choppy price action.
How It Works
The indicator uses a three-step process to confirm reversals:
Candle 1 (Rejection) - Detects a rejection candle after a sustained move. This includes hammer/shooting star patterns with long wicks, doji candles showing indecision, or stall candles with unusually small bodies.
Candle 2 (Reversal) - Confirms the candle closes in the opposite direction of the prior trend.
Candle 3 (Confirmation) - Validates the reversal by either continuing in the new direction or breaking the high/low of the previous candle.
Key Features
Requires a significant prior trend before looking for reversals (no signals in choppy, sideways markets)
Uses ATR to measure move significance, adapting to current volatility
Marks rejection candles with small circles for early awareness
Confirmed signals shown as triangles with Bull/Bear labels
Built-in alerts for all signal types
Settings
Wick to Body Ratio - How pronounced the rejection wick must be compared to the candle body (default: 2.0)
Doji Threshold - Maximum body size relative to total range to qualify as a doji (default: 0.1)
Trend Lookback - Number of candles to analyze for prior trend detection (default: 5)
Trend Strength - Percentage of lookback candles required in trend direction (default: 0.6 = 60%)
Minimum Move (ATR multiple) - How large the prior move must be before signaling (default: 1.5)
Show Bullish/Bearish - Toggle each signal type on or off
Visual Signals
Small Circle - Marks potential rejection candles (first candle in the pattern)
Green Triangle (Bull) - Confirmed bullish reversal signal
Red Triangle (Bear) - Confirmed bearish reversal signal
Alerts
Three alert options are available:
Bullish Reversal Confirmed
Bearish Reversal Confirmed
Any Reversal Confirmed

Gradient Trend Filter [ChartPrime]The Gradient Trend Filter is a dynamic trend analysis tool that combines a noise-filtered trend detection system with a color-gradient cloud. It provides traders with a visual representation of trend strength, momentum shifts, and potential reversals.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Trend Noise Filtering
Uses an advanced smoothing function to filter market noise and produce a more reliable trend representation.
// Noise filter function
noise_filter(src, length) =>
alpha = 2 / (length + 1)
nf_1 = 0.0
nf_2 = 0.0
nf_3 = 0.0
nf_1 := (alpha * src) + ((1 - alpha) * nz(nf_1 ))
nf_2 := (alpha * nf_1) + ((1 - alpha) * nz(nf_2 ))
nf_3 := (alpha * nf_2) + ((1 - alpha) * nz(nf_3 ))
nf_3 // Final output with three-stage smoothing
Color-Based Trend Visualization
The mid-line changes color based on trend direction—green for uptrends and red for downtrends—making it easy to identify trends at a glance.
Orange diamond markers appear when a trend shift is confirmed, providing actionable signals for traders.
Gradient Color Trend Cloud
A cloud around the base trend line that dynamically changes color, often signaling trend shifts ahead of the main trend line.
When in a downtrend, if the cloud starts turning green, it suggests weakening bearish momentum or an upcoming bullish reversal. Conversely, when in an uptrend, a red cloud indicates potential trend weakening or a bearish reversal.
Multi-Layered Trend Bands
The cloud consists of multiple bands, offering a range of support and resistance zones that traders can use for confluence in decision-making.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Identify Trend Strength & Reversals
Use the mid-line and cloud color changes to assess the strength of a trend and spot early signs of reversals.
Monitor Momentum Shifts
Watch for gradient cloud color shifts before the trend line changes color, as this can indicate early weakening or strengthening of momentum.
Act on Trend Shift Markers
Use the orange diamonds as confirmation of trend shifts and potential trade entry or exit points.
Utilize Cloud Bands as Support/Resistance
The outer bands of the cloud act as dynamic support and resistance, helping traders refine their stop-loss and take-profit placements.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Gradient Trend Filter is an advanced trend detection tool designed for traders looking to anticipate trend shifts with greater precision. By integrating a noise-filtered trend line with a gradient-based trend cloud, this indicator enhances traders' ability to navigate market trends effectively.
XAMD/AMDX ICT 01 [TradingFinder] SMC Quarterly Theory Cycles🔵 Introduction
The XAMD/AMDX strategy, combined with the Quarterly Theory, forms the foundation of a powerful market structure analysis. This indicator builds upon the principles of the Power of 3 strategy introduced by ICT, enhancing its application by incorporating an additional phase.
By extending the logic of Power of 3, the XAMD/AMDX tool provides a more detailed and comprehensive view of daily market behavior, offering traders greater precision in identifying key movements and opportunities
This approach divides the trading day into four distinct phases : Accumulation (19:00 - 01:00 EST), Manipulation (01:00 - 07:00 EST), Distribution (07:00 - 13:00 EST), and Continuation or Reversal (13:00 - 19:00 EST), collectively known as AMDX.
Each phase reflects a specific market behavior, providing a structured lens to interpret price action. Building on the fractal nature of time in financial markets, the Quarterly Theory introduces the Four Quarters Method, where a currency pair’s price range is divided into quarters.
These divisions, known as quarter points, highlight critical levels for analyzing and predicting market dynamics. Together, these principles allow traders to align their strategies with institutional trading patterns, offering deeper insights into market trends
🔵 How to Use
The AMDX framework provides a structured approach to understanding market behavior throughout the trading day. Each phase has its own characteristics and trading opportunities, allowing traders to align their strategies effectively. To get the most out of this tool, understanding the dynamics of each phase is essential.
🟣 Accumulation
During the Accumulation phase (19:00 - 01:00 EST), the market is typically quiet, with price movements confined to a narrow range. This phase is where institutional players accumulate their positions, setting the stage for future price movements.
Traders should use this time to study price patterns and prepare for the next phases. It’s a great opportunity to mark key support and resistance zones and set alerts for potential breakouts, as the low volatility makes immediate trading less attractive.
🟣 Manipulation
The Manipulation phase (01:00 - 07:00 EST) is often marked by sharp and deceptive price movements. Institutions create false breakouts to trigger stop-losses and trap retail traders into the wrong direction. Traders should remain cautious during this phase, focusing on identifying the areas of liquidity where these traps occur.
Watching for price reversals after these false moves can provide excellent entry opportunities, but patience and confirmation are crucial to avoid getting caught in the manipulation.
🟣 Distribution
The Distribution phase (07:00 - 13:00 EST) is where the day’s dominant trend typically emerges. Institutions execute large trades, resulting in significant price movements. This phase is ideal for trading with the trend, as the market provides clearer directional signals.
Traders should focus on identifying breakouts or strong momentum in the direction of the trend established during this period. This phase is also where traders can capitalize on setups identified earlier, aligning their entries with the market’s broader sentiment.
🟣 Continuation or Reversal
Finally, the Continuation or Reversal phase (13:00 - 19:00 EST) offers a critical juncture to assess the market’s direction. This phase can either reinforce the established trend or signal a reversal as institutions adjust their positions.
Traders should observe price behavior closely during this time, looking for patterns that confirm whether the trend is likely to continue or reverse. This phase is particularly useful for adjusting open positions or initiating new trades based on emerging signals.
🔵 Settings
Show or Hide Phases.
Adjust the session times for each phase :
Accumulation: 19:00-01:00 EST
Manipulation: 01:00-07:00 EST
Distribution: 07:00-13:00 EST
Continuation or Reversal: 13:00-19:00 EST
Modify Visualization : Customize how the indicator looks by changing settings like colors and transparency.
🔵 Conclusion
AMDX provides traders with a practical method to analyze daily market behavior by dividing the trading day into four key phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation or Reversal. Each phase highlights specific market dynamics, offering insights into how institutional activity shapes price movements.
From the quiet buildup in the Accumulation phase to the decisive trends of the Distribution phase, and the critical transitions in Continuation or Reversal, this approach equips traders with the tools to anticipate movements and make informed decisions.
By recognizing the significance of each phase, traders can avoid common traps during Manipulation, capitalize on clear trends during Distribution, and adapt to changes in the final phase of the day.
The structured visualization of market phases simplifies decision-making for traders of all levels. By incorporating these principles into your trading strategy, you can enhance your ability to align with market trends, optimize entry and exit points, and achieve more consistent results in your trading journey.
Adaptive Squeeze Momentum (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Adaptive Squeeze Momentum (Zeiierman) is a hybrid oscillator that models the market’s transition between trend-efficient and inefficient (choppy or reversal-prone) regimes. It fuses a price efficiency framework, volatility-adaptive responsiveness, and a bounded directional trend score, then intelligently blends them through a dynamic transition band to emphasize either smooth, directional structure or spiky inefficiency.
Unlike traditional momentum tools, it does not simply measure speed or volatility. It measures how efficiently the price is moving. This multidimensional approach allows it to identify when markets are compressed and ready to expand, or stretched and ready to revert.
In essence, Adaptive Squeeze Momentum (Zeiierman) gives traders a deep structural perspective of efficiency, momentum, and compression energy, helping to expose hidden squeezes, early reversals, and trend continuations with remarkable accuracy.
⚪ Why This One Is Unique
Adaptive Squeeze Momentum (Zeiierman) stands out because it doesn’t rely on static momentum or volatility measures alone. It merges price efficiency, volatility adaptivity, and trend structure into one cohesive system capable of detecting:
Early squeeze build-ups and directional releases
Reversals emerging from inefficiency spikes
Shifts between clean trends and noisy, unstable ranges
Adaptive behavior across changing volatility conditions
In essence, it acts as a self-adjusting market intelligence tool, revealing when the price is efficient, exhausted, or preparing for significant expansion.
█ Main Features
⚪ Adaptive Squeeze Momentum Oscillator
The Adaptive Squeeze Momentum (Zeiierman) captures how price structure transitions between compression, expansion, and inefficiency. It merges a volatility-adaptive momentum engine with an efficiency-aware structure filter, creating a responsive oscillator that reflects not just how fast the market moves, but how efficiently it moves.
Adaptive Momentum: Reacts dynamically to changing volatility regimes
Efficiency Awareness: Distinguishes stable, directional flow from unstable or noisy price action
Volatility Squeeze Detection: Identifies buildup (compression) and breakout (release) conditions
Directional Context: Shows momentum alignment, exhaustion, or imbalance through color-coded histograms
This hybrid model provides a multidimensional view of trend quality, squeeze pressure, and inefficiency, ideal for precision-based trend following and structural reversal recognition.
⚪ Understanding the Squeeze
A squeeze occurs when volatility contracts, prices compress, and market energy builds, much like a coiled spring preparing to release. Once volatility expands, that stored energy transforms into directional movement, often marking the beginning of a significant breakout or new trend phase.
Traditional squeeze indicators focus only on volatility contraction. Adaptive Squeeze Momentum (Zeiierman) goes further by incorporating efficiency analysis to evaluate how organized or chaotic the buildup is. This reveals not only when a squeeze may fire but also whether the ensuing release is likely to be sustainable or structurally weak.
Visual Interpretation:
Lighter Dots: Represent low-volatility compression, energy building within an efficient or balanced structure.
Yellow Dots: Mark volatility release, the expansion phase where momentum accelerates.
⚪ Inefficiency Columns
Efficient Price Action
Efficient moves are clean, directional, and purposeful. Price advances with minimal back-and-forth noise, revealing strong conviction and structural alignment. In the indicator, these appear as smooth, non-blue histogram columns. Such periods indicate organized, high-probability momentum where breakouts, trends, and continuations are supported by efficient order flow.
Inefficient Price Action
Inefficient moves are noisy, erratic, and spiky, showing that price is fighting its own structure. Liquidity is thin, reactions are emotional, and momentum lacks balance. In the oscillator, inefficiency is displayed through blue columns, path-break spikes, or OB/OS inefficiency crosses (green/red). These elements act as early warnings of structural instability, suggesting the market may be overextended, losing organization, or entering a mean-reversion or reversal phase.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Following
When oscillator bars are above or below zero and growing in color intensity, momentum is expanding, confirming active, efficient trends. When colors fade, momentum is decelerating, signaling potential exhaustion or consolidation.
Interpretation:
Sustained smooth growth above zero indicates strong, efficient bullish momentum.
Sustained smooth growth below zero indicates efficient bearish continuation.
Color fading or a zero-line cross suggests trend fatigue or rotation.
Tip: Confirm trend continuation when yellow squeeze-release dots appear in the same direction. They often precede sustained breakouts following compression.
⚪ Inefficiency Reversals or Breakouts
Adaptive Squeeze Momentum (Zeiierman) excels at detecting instability within active trends, highlighting when moves lose internal efficiency and become unsustainable. When bars change color, outbreak columns appear, or Overbought/Oversold Inefficiency Crosses (green/red) appear, the structure is shifting toward potential reversal or exhaustion.
Blue Inefficiency Columns:
Above Zero: Indicates inefficient buying pressure where markets push higher impulsively or emotionally. Often signals an overstretched or unstable rally prone to short-term corrections or FOMO-driven peaks.
Below Zero: Reflects inefficient selling pressure where panic-driven or disorderly sell-offs often precede exhaustion and recovery phases.
Main Oscillator Inefficiency:
Spiky Column Above Zero
When the main oscillator suddenly surges upward and prints a tall, spiky column above the zero line without turning blue, it signals an inefficient and overextended push to the upside. This type of move breaks the oscillator’s usual smooth rhythm, showing that buyers are becoming overaggressive or emotional, often driven by FOMO or reactive momentum chasing.
Even though the column remains green, the abrupt path break reveals that the move is losing internal structure and may be unsustainable. Such inefficient upward bursts often indicate upside exhaustion or an overshoot, where the market temporarily loses control.
From here, two scenarios can unfold:
A sustained breakout if structure confirms (for example, a valid squeeze release or strong volume support).
A snapback or reversal if follow-through fails on the next bars and the oscillator begins to fade (growth → fall).
Spiky Column Below Zero
When the oscillator sharply dives and prints a tall, spiky column below the zero line without turning blue, it reflects an inefficient and emotional push to the downside. This behavior typically emerges during panic-driven selling, where traders aggressively dump positions, breaking the oscillator’s normal rhythm.
Even though the color remains red, this kind of path-break spike shows that the market has become disordered or overstretched. These inefficient downward thrusts often suggest bear exhaustion, capitulation, or a temporary overshoot below fair structure.
From this point, two potential outcomes can occur:
A sustained breakdown if the move is supported by strong volume or new structural lows.
A rebound or mean reversion occurs when momentum fails to extend, indicating that selling pressure has burned out.
Setting Tip: To focus purely on the oscillator’s structural peaks, set Inefficiency Detection and Inefficiency Duration to identical values, then adjust Inefficiency Price Peaks to control sensitivity. Use lower values for crisp detection and higher values for smoother blending.
Overbought and Oversold Inefficiency Signals
Green Overbought Cross: Signals that buyers are driving the market too aggressively, often from emotional extension or FOMO. This imbalance typically leads to short-term pauses, pullbacks, or corrections.
Red Oversold Cross: Signals panic-driven or emotionally imbalanced selling, marking structural exhaustion. Often precedes rebounds or base formations as volatility normalizes.
Interpretation: Both crosses identify where momentum is inefficient rather than simply overbought or oversold, helping detect exhaustion before conventional oscillators do.
⚪ Squeeze Builds and Releases (Volatility Expansion)
The squeeze system highlights volatility cycles when the market compresses, builds energy, and releases it through expansion.
Lighter Dots: Compression, where volatility contracts, structure tightens, and energy builds.
Yellow Dots: Release, where volatility expands, triggering directional movement.
Interpretation: Light dots signal potential breakout setups. When followed by a yellow dot and an aligned oscillator direction, they confirm momentum ignition —the moment the market transitions from equilibrium to expansion.
█ How It Works
⚪ Inefficiency Logic
The indicator evaluates how efficiently the price progresses relative to internal volatility. When market flow loses directional clarity, it transitions into an inefficiency state, represented by blue columns or sudden outbreaks within the oscillator. These moments reveal when the underlying structure becomes unstable or overly reactive, often preceding reversals or false momentum bursts.
Calculation: Applies an adaptive efficiency model that compares directional movement to internal dispersion and classifies it within a controlled stability band. A dual-threshold hysteresis with smooth interpolation ensures stable transitions between efficient (trend) and inefficient (spike) phases.
⚪ Directional Tendency Core
The directional tendency component models the underlying slope of market intent, expressing the balance between structured progression and reactive drift. It transforms directional bias into a bounded, volatility-normalized range that remains consistent across instruments and timeframes.
Calculation: Constructs a normalized directional field derived from trend displacement over an adaptive window, filtered through a nonlinear bounding transform and dynamic smoothing to control lag and oscillation.
⚪ Squeeze Engine
The squeeze system isolates compression and release cycles, the rhythmic build-up and discharge of volatility. Compression phases represent equilibrium and contraction, while release phases signify volatility expansion and directional acceleration.
Calculation: Integrates a volatility-adjusted energy model with directional gating. Compression forms during sustained contraction, while release occurs as volatility and momentum expand.
⚪ OB/OS Inefficiency Extremes
The OB/OS inefficiency system detects imbalanced extremes in order flow, when price pushes too far in one direction without structural support. These regions often precede exhaustion or rapid mean reversion.
Calculation: Generates an efficiency-weighted propagation field that identifies directional overextension. Threshold analysis and adaptive state classification determine overbought (green) and oversold (red) inefficiency zones.
⚪ Final Oscillator Composition
The final oscillator is an adaptive blend of inefficiency, directional tendency, and volatility state. It continuously morphs between spike-dominant and trend-dominant behavior based on the evolving efficiency environment. This produces a responsive structural map that visualizes the interplay between market stability, momentum, and compression energy.
Calculation: Combines the signed inefficiency signal and the bounded trend vector through a soft-weighted blending function governed by the efficiency band.
