SMM - Smart Money IndicatorHello Traders, SMM – Smart Money Indicator is a Smart Money Concepts indicator that is meant to make your trading a bit easier and take the guess work away. Our mission is to save your time with already marking up the chart for you (all automatic). This indicator will help you spot the point of interests a.k.a. Order Blocks, Supply and Demand zones and Fair Value Gaps. Our mission is to create the best Smart Money Concepts indicator on the market. For that we would like to receive your guy’s feedback on it. Smart Money refers to the capital that institutional investors, central banks, and other professionals or financial institutions control. Market Structure is the foundation of price action trading, understanding price action is fundamental to SMC . Market Structure based of fractals – We are using fractal-based market structure since it’s way stronger than for example an Eliot wave. So, we only get the clearest break of structure (BoS- Trend continuation) and Change of Character (CHoCH- Possible change of trend) Features - Changing the break type to either only the body or body and the wick - Period of looking back to determine structure (combined with the supply and demand zones) Multiple Time frame Supply and Demand – Displayed typically as the last up/down candle before a big move in the opposite direction. Great zones to entry from on the lower time frame, also you can target previous demand/supply zones as potential take profit areas. Features - Multiple time frame - Changing the amount of candles to calculate the zones. - Option to remove mitigated zones / change color - Extending the HTF Box to current time. (If not mitigated) Order Blocks – What we use for our lower time frame zones to enter from. It’s basically the same as supply and demand but then on a lower time frame. Most likely once prices come into your higher time frame Supply and Demand zones, we would scale down to the lower time frames and then wait for our pattern to entry. Features - Extending the LTF Box to current time. (If not mitigated) - Options to remove mitigated zones / change color Fair Value Gaps - Is also known as an imbalance. An FVG is an imbalance of orders for instance, for sellers to complete their trades, there must be buyers and vice versa so when a market receives to many of one kind of order buys or sells, and not enough of the order’s counterpart. When the amount is not balanced and to many orders are put in for one direction, it creates an imbalance where price likes to get back too. We have 2 different options that shows you all the imbalances but also one that only shows the structure breaking imbalances which we see as the most important one. Features - Plotting all Fair Value Gaps - Plotting only structure breaking Fair Value Gaps Previous Day High and Low – Will mark up the previous day high and low what could indicate that if price breaks out of the previous day high that it will most likely trend upwards. If it breaks below, it will most likely trend down for the upcoming time. - Showing only the recent previous day high and low - Showing all the previous high and lows - Show nothing Alerts – We’ve made possible that you can also choose to receive an alert on your device once price comes in to one of the supply and demand zones. (Must place the alerts function into your alert management tab on trading view) Only works if you add the alert on when you are on the same time frame as your supply and demand zones. You can also choose to receive alerts when a supply or demand zone has been created.

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. 📈 VISUAL ELEMENTS On Chart: 🟢 Green Triangle (▲) = BUY Signal 🔴 Red Triangle (▼) = SELL Signal 🟦 Blue horizontal lines = Value Area zones 🟡 Yellow line = Point of Control (POC) 🟩 Green boxes = Bullish FVG zones 🟥 Red boxes = Bearish FVG zones 🔵 Blue line = Primary VWAP (Session) ⚪ White line = Secondary VWAP (Week) Info Panel (Top Right): Real-time status display showing: Filter Direction (BUY ONLY / SELL ONLY / NEUTRAL) Active timeframes for both MP filters FVG filter status and count VWAP positions (ABOVE/BELOW) Signal enablement status Alert status ⚙️ KEY SETTINGS MP/TPO Filter Settings (Primary Indicator) MP Filter Time Frame: 60 minutes (controls directional bias) Filter Value Area %: 70% (standard Market Profile calculation) Filter Alert Distance: 1 bar Filter Min Bars for Reversal: 1 bar Filter Alert Zone Margin: 0.01 (1%) FVG Filter Settings Use FVG Filter: Enabled (toggle on/off) FVG Timeframe: 60 minutes (1 hour) FVG Filter Mode: Both (require bullish FVG for BUY, bearish for SELL) FVG Lookback Period: 50 bars (how far back to search) Show FVG Formation Signals: Optional visual markers Max FVG on Chart: 50 zones Show Mitigated FVG: Display filled gaps Market Profile Settings Higher Time Frame: 60 minutes (for main signals) Percent for Value Area: 70% Show POC Line: Enabled Keep Old MPs: Enabled (maintain historical profiles) Primary VWAP Filter Use Primary VWAP Filter: Enabled Primary VWAP Anchor Period: Session (resets daily) Primary VWAP Source: HLC3 (typical price) Secondary VWAP Filter Use Secondary VWAP Filter: Enabled Secondary VWAP Anchor Period: Week (resets weekly) Secondary VWAP Filter Mode: Both Secondary VWAP Line Color: White Trading Signals Show Trading Signals on Chart: Enabled Show SELL Signals: Enabled Show BUY Signals: Enabled Alert Distance: 1 bar Min Bars for Reversal: 1 bar Alert Zone Margin: 0.01 (1%) Retest Search Period: 20 bars Min Bars Between Retests: 5 bars Show Only Retests: Disabled Alert Settings Enable Trading Notifications: Enabled VAH Reversal Alert: Enabled (SELL signals) VAL Reversal Alert: Enabled (BUY signals) Time Filter Settings Filter Alerts By Time: Optional (exclude specific hours) ⚠️ 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. 🔍 CREDITS & CODE ATTRIBUTION This indicator builds upon established technical analysis concepts and combines multiple methodologies: 1.

Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader ## Overview Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity. The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data. ## Originality and Core Concept Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration. **What makes this approach original:** - Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity - Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars - Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts - Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable - Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal - Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats **The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration. ## How It Works ### MACD Component The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology: 1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum 2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum 3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA 4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line **Crossover signals:** - **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive) - **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative) ### Volume Filter Component The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer: 1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods) 2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%) 3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold 4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars) **Signal logic:** - Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met: - MACD crossover/crossunder occurs - High volume detected within lookback period ### Automatic CME Futures Integration For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data. **Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):** - EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures) - GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures) - AUDUSD → CME:6A1! (Australian Dollar Futures) - USDJPY → CME:6J1! (Japanese Yen Futures) - USDCAD → CME:6C1! (Canadian Dollar Futures) - USDCHF → CME:6S1! (Swiss Franc Futures) - NZDUSD → CME:6N1! (New Zealand Dollar Futures) **Supported Exotic Forex Pairs (4):** - USDMXN → CME:6M1! (Mexican Peso Futures) - USDRUB → CME:6R1! (Russian Ruble Futures) - USDBRL → CME:6L1! (Brazilian Real Futures) - USDZAR → CME:6Z1! (South African Rand Futures) **Supported Cross Pairs (6):** - EURJPY → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures) - GBPJPY → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures) - EURGBP → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures) - AUDJPY → CME:6A1! (Uses Australian Dollar Futures) - EURAUD → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures) - GBPAUD → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures) **Supported Precious Metals (2):** - Gold (XAUUSD, GOLD) → COMEX:GC1! (Gold Futures) - Silver (XAGUSD, SILVER) → COMEX:SI1! (Silver Futures) **Supported Energy Commodities (3):** - WTI Crude Oil (USOIL, WTIUSD) → NYMEX:CL1! (Crude Oil Futures) - Brent Oil (UKOIL) → NYMEX:BZ1! (Brent Crude Futures) - Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures) **Supported Industrial Metals (1):** - Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures) **How the automatic detection works:** The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing: 1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.) 2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD) 3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude) When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart. **Visual feedback:** An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing: - Current chart symbol - Exchange name - Currency pair or asset name - Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume) - Current high volume status This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis. ## How to Use ### Basic Setup 1. Add the indicator to your chart 2. The indicator displays in a separate pane (MACD) and overlay (signals/volume bars) 3. Default settings work well for most assets, but can be customized ### Signal Interpretation ### Visual Signals **Visual Signals:** - **Green "BUY" label** - Bullish MACD crossover confirmed by high volume - **Red "SELL" label** - Bearish MACD crossunder confirmed by high volume - **Green/Red candles** - Highlight bars with volume exceeding the threshold - **Light green/red background** - Emphasizes signal bars on the chart **Information Table:** A detailed information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane, providing real-time transparency about the indicator's operation: - **Chart:** Current symbol being analyzed - **Exchange:** The exchange or data feed being used - **Pair:** The currency pair or asset name extracted from the ticker - **Volume From:** The actual symbol used for volume analysis - Orange color indicates CME or COMEX futures are being used (automatic institutional volume) - Yellow color indicates native volume from the chart symbol is being used - Hover tooltip shows whether automatic futures mapping is active - **High Volume:** Current status showing YES (green) when volume exceeds threshold, NO (gray) otherwise This table ensures complete transparency and allows you to verify that the correct volume source is being used for your analysis. **Volume Analysis:** - Gray histogram bars = Normal volume - Red histogram bars = High volume (exceeds threshold) - Green line = Volume moving average baseline **MACD Analysis:** - Blue line = MACD line (momentum indicator) - Orange line = Signal line (trend confirmation) - Gray dotted line = Zero line (bullish above, bearish below) ### Parameter Customization **MACD Parameters:** - Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths for different sensitivities - Shorter periods = More signals, faster response - Longer periods = Fewer signals, less noise **Volume Parameters:** - **Volume MA Period:** Higher values smooth volume analysis - **High Volume Ratio:** Lower values (1.5x) = More signals; Higher values (3.0x) = Fewer, stronger signals - **Volume Lookback Bars:** Controls how recent the volume spike must be **Direction Filters:** - **Only Buy Signals:** Enables long-only strategy mode - **Only Sell Signals:** Enables short-only strategy mode ### Alert Configuration The indicator includes three alert types: 1. **Buy Signal Alert** - Triggers when bullish signal appears 2. **Sell Signal Alert** - Triggers when bearish signal appears 3. **High Volume Alert** - Triggers when volume exceeds threshold To set up alerts: 1. Click the indicator name → "Add alert on Smart MACD Volume Trader" 2. Select desired alert condition 3. Configure notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.) ## Trading Strategy Guidelines ### Best Practices **Recommended markets:** - Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume) - Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD) - Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR) - Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD) - Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping) - Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping) - Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping) - Major cryptocurrency pairs - Index futures and ETFs **Timeframe recommendations:** - **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts - **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts - **Position trading:** Daily charts **Risk management:** - Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy - Combine with support/resistance levels - Consider overall market trend direction - Always use stop-loss orders ### Strategy Examples **Trend Following Strategy:** 1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart) 2. Trade only in trend direction 3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends 4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support **Volume Breakout Strategy:** 1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range) 2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout) 3. Target previous swing highs/lows 4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation **Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):** 1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume 2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter) 3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips) 4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target **Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):** 1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts 2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets) 3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points 4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries 5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color) 6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets ## Why This Combination Works ### The Volume Advantage Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation. **Key benefits:** 1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation 2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing 3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation 4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction" ### Statistical Edge By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross. ## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats: **Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):** - FX (TradingView forex feed) - OANDA - FXCM - SAXO - FOREXCOM - PEPPERSTONE - EASYMARKETS - FX_IDC **Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):** - TVC (TradingView commodity feed) - COMEX (directly) - NYMEX (directly) - ICEUS **Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):** - Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.) - Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.) - Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.) The detection algorithm analyzes three factors: 1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol 2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes) 3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency. ## Technical Details **Calculations:** - MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength) - MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength) - MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA - Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength) - Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume - High Volume: Current volume >= Volume MA × Ratio **Signal logic:** ``` Buy Signal = (MACD crosses above Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars) Sell Signal = (MACD crosses below Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars) ``` ## Parameters Reference | Parameter | Default | Description | |-----------|---------|-------------| | Volume Symbol | Blank | Manual override for volume source (leave blank for automatic detection) | | Use CME Futures | False | Legacy option (automatic detection is now built-in) | | Alert Session | 1530-2200 | Active session time range for alerts | | Timezone | UTC+1 | Timezone for alert sessions | | Volume MA Period | 20 | Number of periods for volume moving average | | High Volume Ratio | 2.0 | Volume threshold multiplier (2.0 = 200% of average) | | Volume Lookback | 5 | Number of bars to check for high volume confirmation | | MACD Fast Length | 12 | Fast EMA period for MACD calculation | | MACD Slow Length | 26 | Slow EMA period for MACD calculation | | MACD Signal Length | 9 | Signal line SMA period | | Only Buy | False | Filter to show only bullish signals | | Only Sell | False | Filter to show only bearish signals | | Show Signals | True | Display buy and sell labels on chart | ## Optimization Tips **For volatile markets (crypto, small caps):** - Increase High Volume Ratio to 2.5-3.0 - Reduce Volume Lookback to 3-4 bars - Consider faster MACD settings (8, 17, 9) **For stable markets (large-cap stocks, bonds):** - Decrease High Volume Ratio to 1.5-1.8 - Increase Volume MA Period to 30-50 - Use standard MACD settings **For forex (with automatic CME futures):** - The indicator automatically uses CME futures when forex pairs are detected - Set appropriate trading session based on your timezone - Use Volume Lookback of 5-7 bars - Consider session-based alerts only - Monitor the information table to verify correct futures mapping **For commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil, Copper):** - The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures - Increase High Volume Ratio to 2.0-2.5 for metals - Use slightly higher Volume MA Period (25-30) for smoother analysis - Trade during active market hours for best volume data - The information table will show the futures contract being used (orange highlight) ## Limitations and Considerations **What this indicator does NOT do:** - Does not predict future price direction - Does not guarantee profitable trades - Does not replace proper risk management - Does not work well in extremely low-volume conditions **Market conditions to avoid:** - Pre-market and after-hours sessions (low volume) - Major news events (volatile, unpredictable volume) - Holidays and low-liquidity periods - Extremely low float stocks ## Conclusion Smart MACD Volume Trader represents a significant evolution of the traditional MACD indicator by combining volume confirmation with automatic institutional volume integration. This dual-confirmation approach significantly improves signal quality by filtering out low-conviction price movements and ensuring traders work with accurate volume data. The indicator's automatic detection and mapping system supports over 24 instruments across forex, commodities, and metals markets. By intelligently switching to CME and COMEX futures contracts when appropriate, the indicator provides forex and commodity traders with the same quality of volume data that stock traders naturally have access to. This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who want to: - Align their entries with institutional money flow - Avoid getting trapped in false breakouts - Trade forex pairs with reliable volume data - Access accurate volume information for gold, silver, and energy commodities - Combine momentum and volume analysis in a single, streamlined tool Whether you are day trading stocks, swing trading forex pairs, or positioning in commodities markets, this indicator provides a robust framework for identifying high-probability momentum trades backed by genuine institutional participation. The automatic futures mapping works seamlessly across all supported instruments, requiring no manual configuration or expertise in futures markets. --- ## Support and Updates This indicator is actively maintained and updated based on user feedback and market conditions.

Smart Gap Projection MTF Smart Gap Projection MTF ## Brief Description Professional indicator for projecting US Dollar Index (DXY) gaps onto the traded instrument with multi-timeframe analysis support and advanced visualization. --- ## Originality and Uniqueness **Smart Gap Projection MTF** is a unique development that solves the specific task of correlation analysis between the Dollar Index (DXY) and currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, or other dollar-dependent assets. ### What makes this indicator original: 1. **Inter-market gap projection** - the indicator doesn't just display gaps on the current instrument, but projects gaps from the DXY index onto your asset's chart, creating unique trading levels 2. **Dual confirmation system** - uses a mechanism of waiting N candles after a gap appears on DXY to filter false signals 3. **Intelligent lifecycle tracking** - each projected level is tracked until price touch or gap closure on DXY, with automatic visualization changes 4. **Multi-Timeframe extension** - ability to simultaneously display gaps from a lower timeframe of the current instrument to identify intraday opportunities 5. **Adaptive visualization (Heatmap)** - line intensity and width automatically change depending on gap size, helping to visually identify the most significant levels --- ## How the Indicator Works ### Core Operating Principle The indicator analyzes the US Dollar Index (DXY) price movement in real-time and identifies gaps (price breaks) between candle closes and opens. When a gap forms on DXY, the indicator: 1. **Determines gap type** - bullish (price opened above previous close) or bearish (price opened below) 2. **Checks gap size** - filters insignificant gaps by absolute size (in points) and percentage value 3. **Waits for confirmation** - after detecting a gap, the indicator waits for a specified number of candles (default 3) to confirm that the gap didn't close immediately 4. **Projects the level** - after confirmation, a horizontal line is drawn on the current instrument's chart at the High level (for bullish DXY gap) or Low level (for bearish DXY gap) of the candle where the gap formed 5. **Tracks status** - the indicator continuously monitors: - Price touching the projected level (line becomes more transparent) - Gap closure on DXY itself (line changes color to orange) ### Conceptual Foundation The methodology is based on the observation that: - Gaps on the Dollar Index often lead to synchronous movements on correlated assets - Price levels at the moment of DXY gap formation become price magnets - Gap closure on DXY often coincides with trend reversal on dependent instruments --- ## How to Use the Indicator ### Basic Setup 1. **Add the indicator to the chart** of any asset correlated with the dollar (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, Bitcoin, Gold, etc.) 2. **Configure main parameters:** - `DXY Symbol` - leave as "TVC:DXY" (standard Dollar Index ticker) - `Minimum gap size` - minimum gap size in points (0.0001-0.001 for DXY) - `Confirmation candles` - number of confirmation candles (recommended 3-5) 3. **Set up visualization:** - Choose colors for bullish and bearish gaps - Set desired transparency for each gap type - Enable/disable `Use heatmap` for adaptive visualization ### Timeframe Recommendations - **Scalping (M1-M5):** use MTF gaps from M1 timeframe, confirmationCandles = 2-3 - **Intraday (M15-H1):** standard settings, can add MTF M5-M15 - **Swing trading (H4-D1):** increase confirmationCandles to 5-10, MTF H1-H4 ### Use with Other Instruments The indicator is universal and works on: - **Forex:** EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD and other dollar pairs - **Cryptocurrencies:** BTC/USD, ETH/USD (direct dollar dependency) - **Commodities:** Gold (XAU/USD), Silver (XAG/USD), Oil - **Indices:** SPX, NDX, especially during dollar movements --- ## Configuration Parameters ### Main Settings - **DXY Symbol** - Dollar Index symbol (default TVC:DXY) - **Minimum gap size** - minimum gap size in points for filtering - **Minimum gap size (%)** - minimum percentage size (0 = disabled) - **Confirmation candles** - number of candles for confirmation (1-10) - **Maximum gaps on chart** - maximum number of displayed projections ### Multi-Timeframe - **Enable MTF gaps** - enable/disable MTF gaps - **Timeframe for gaps** - select lower timeframe for search - **Max MTF gaps** - maximum number of MTF lines (5-2000) - **Min MTF gap size** - minimum MTF gap size - **MTF lines color** - MTF lines color - **MTF lines style** - line style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) - **MTF lines width** - MTF lines width (1-3) ### Visualization - **Extend lines right** - extend lines to the right - **Use heatmap** - use adaptive visualization (width/brightness from gap size) - **Stop lines when DXY gap closes** - stop lines when gap closes on DXY ### Colors - **Bullish gap color** - color of bullish DXY gap lines - **Bullish Transparency** - transparency of bullish lines (0-90) - **Bearish gap color** - color of bearish DXY gap lines - **Bearish Transparency** - transparency of bearish lines (0-90) - **Line style** - style of all projection lines ### Alerts - **Alert on new gap** - notification when new gap is confirmed --- ## Features and Advantages ✅ **Inter-market analysis** - uses correlation between DXY and traded asset ✅ **Automatic filtering** - excludes insignificant and quickly closing gaps ✅ **Multi-timeframe analysis** - combines signals from different time periods ✅ **Visual hierarchy** - heatmap automatically highlights most significant levels ✅ **Lifecycle tracking** - each level is monitored until touch or gap closure ✅ **Universality** - works on any dollar-correlated assets ✅ **Non-repainting** - all levels are fixed historically and don't change ✅ **Customizable visualization** - full control over colors, styles and transparency --- ## Limitations and Important Notes ⚠️ **Indicator is not a trading system** - it's a technical analysis tool requiring confirmation by other methods ⚠️ **Works only on assets correlated with DXY** - on instruments without dollar correlation, signals will be ineffective ⚠️ **Requires understanding of inter-market relationships** - recommended to study correlations between DXY and your instrument ⚠️ **DXY data quality** - ensure your data provider supplies correct TVC:DXY history ⚠️ **MTF data** - when using very low MTF timeframes, delays in updates are possible --- ## Who This Indicator Is For 👨‍💼 **Forex traders** - analyzing macroeconomic dollar movements 📈 **Crypto traders** - considering dollar influence on Bitcoin and altcoins 🥇 **Commodity market traders** - trading gold, silver, oil 📊 **Intraday scalpers** - using MTF for precise entries 📉 **Swing traders** - looking for medium-term entry points at key levels --- ## Disclaimer This indicator is intended solely for educational and informational purposes. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to act. All trading decisions you make at your own risk. Past results do not guarantee future performance. Always use proper risk management.

Smart Margin Zone SMART MARGIN ZONE - CME-BASED SUPPORT & RESISTANCE INDICATOR TITLE FOR PUBLICATION: Smart Margin Zone - CME Margin-Based Support and Resistance CATEGORY: Support and Resistance SHORT DESCRIPTION (for preview): Automatically plots margin zones based on CME Group requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where leveraged traders face margin calls, creating natural support and resistance through forced liquidations. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ FULL DESCRIPTION FOR TRADINGVIEW: ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📊 Smart Margin Zone - Professional Trading Zones Based on CME Data This indicator automatically calculates and displays margin zones derived from official CME Group margin requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where traders using leverage receive margin calls, triggering forced position closures that create natural support and resistance levels. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🎯 CORE CONCEPT ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ When price reaches calculated margin zones, traders using 2:1 or 4:1 leverage on CME futures receive margin calls. Brokers automatically liquidate these positions, creating waves of buying or selling pressure that form strong support and resistance levels. This is not theoretical - it's based on actual margin requirements from CME Group, the world's largest derivatives marketplace. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📐 CALCULATION METHODOLOGY ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ The indicator uses the following formula to calculate zone sizes: Zone Size = (Margin Requirement / Tick Value) × Tick Size × 1.10 Where: • Margin Requirement = Official CME initial margin (updated November 2024) • Tick Value = Dollar value of minimum price movement • Tick Size = Minimum price increment • 1.10 = 10% buffer for realistic zone width SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS WITH CME DATA: Currency Pairs: • EURUSD: $2,100 margin → 0.0168 zone size • GBPUSD: $1,800 margin → 0.0144 zone size • AUDUSD: $1,300 margin → 0.0065 zone size • NZDUSD: $1,100 margin → 0.0055 zone size • USDJPY: $3,200 margin → custom calculation • USDCAD: $950 margin → calculated • USDCHF: $1,650 margin → calculated Commodities: • Gold (XAUUSD): $8,000 margin → 80 points zone size • Silver (XAGUSD): $6,500 margin → calculated • WTI Crude Oil: $4,500 margin → calculated ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🔍 HOW IT WORKS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 1. SWING POINT DETECTION The indicator automatically identifies swing highs and swing lows using a configurable lookback period (default 10 bars). These become anchor points for zone calculations. 2. FIVE ZONE LEVELS From each swing point, five zone levels are calculated: • Zone 1/4 (25%) - First correction level • Zone 1/2 (50%) - KEY ZONE for trend determination • Zone 3/4 (75%) - Intermediate level • Zone 1/1 (100%) - Full margin zone (strongest level) • Zone 5/4 (125%) - Extended zone 3. TREND IDENTIFICATION • Close above Zone 1/2 resistance = Bullish trend • Close below Zone 1/2 support = Bearish trend • Between zones = Range/consolidation 4. HISTORICAL CONTEXT Current zones are displayed prominently with fills and labels. Historical zones appear as thin, semi-transparent lines for context without cluttering the chart. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚙️ FEATURES ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ AUTOMATED CALCULATION: ✅ Auto-detection of swing highs and lows ✅ Real-time zone updates as new swings form ✅ CME margin data built-in for major instruments ✅ Manual override option for custom calculations VISUAL CLARITY: ✅ Color-coded zones (red=resistance, green=support) ✅ Adjustable transparency for fills and lines ✅ Current zones bold with fills and price labels ✅ Historical zones thin and transparent ✅ Swing point markers show calculation origins CUSTOMIZATION: ✅ Show/hide individual zone levels (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 5/4) ✅ Toggle historical zones on/off ✅ Adjustable lookback period (5-50 bars) ✅ Customizable colors for all elements ✅ Line width and transparency controls ✅ Zone extension options (none/right/both) TREND ANALYSIS: ✅ Optional trend background coloring ✅ Customizable trend colors and transparency ✅ Real-time trend identification display STATISTICS: ✅ Live statistics table showing: - Current instrument - Active zone size - Calculation mode - Current trend direction - Number of zones displayed ALERTS: ✅ Zone 1/2 breakout (up/down) ✅ Full margin zone 1/1 reached ✅ Customizable alert messages ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📈 TRADING APPLICATIONS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ENTRY SIGNALS: • Bounces from zone levels = potential entry points • Zone 1/2 breakouts = trend continuation entries • Zone rejections = reversal opportunities RISK MANAGEMENT: • Zone levels = logical stop-loss placement • Zone 1/1 = maximum risk level • Zone spacing = position sizing guide PROFIT TARGETS: • Next zone level = first target • Zone 1/1 = full profit target • Zone breakouts = extended targets TREND CONFIRMATION: • Price above Zone 1/2 resistance = confirmed uptrend • Price below Zone 1/2 support = confirmed downtrend • Consolidation between zones = wait for breakout ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📚 USAGE INSTRUCTIONS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ GETTING STARTED: 1. Add indicator to chart of any supported instrument 2. Zones automatically calculate and display 3. Adjust swing detection period if needed (default 10 works well) 4. Customize colors and visibility to your preference OPTIMAL SETTINGS: • Best timeframes: H1, H4, Daily, Weekly • Default swing length (10) suitable for most markets • Show 2-3 historical zones for context • Enable swing point markers to see calculation origins INTERPRETATION: • Watch for price reactions at zone boundaries • Strong bounces = respect for margin level • Clean breaks = momentum continuation • Multiple touches = zone strength confirmation SET ALERTS: • Zone 1/2 breakouts for trend entries • Zone 1/1 reaches for profit-taking • Custom alerts for your specific strategy ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ DATA ACCURACY: • CME margin requirements updated November 2024 • Margins change periodically - check CME Group website • Manual mode available for latest margin data • Indicator provides analysis tool, not financial advice STATISTICAL PERFORMANCE: • Historical data shows >60% probability of continued movement after Zone 1/2 breakout • Zone effectiveness varies by market conditions • Best results in trending markets with clear swings LIMITATIONS: • Margin requirements change - monitor CME updates • Works best on liquid instruments with clear swings • Not a standalone trading system • Should be combined with additional analysis ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🔧 METHODOLOGY CREDIT ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This indicator is based on the margin zones concept developed by Alexander Bazylev (BTrade indicator for MetaTrader platforms). The TradingView implementation has been completely rewritten with original enhancements: • Multiple zone levels instead of single level • Automatic swing point detection algorithm • Direct CME data integration • Historical zone visualization • Advanced customization options • Comprehensive statistics and alerts All code is original and specifically designed for TradingView's Pine Script v5 environment. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 💡 BEST PRACTICES ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ COMBINE WITH: • Volume analysis for confirmation • Trend indicators for direction bias • Price action patterns at zones • Higher timeframe analysis AVOID: • Trading against strong trends at minor zones • Over-leveraging based solely on zone placement • Ignoring broader market context • Expecting perfect bounces every time OPTIMIZE: • Adjust swing length for different timeframes • Shorter period (5-7) for intraday trading • Longer period (15-20) for swing trading • Test historical effectiveness on your instruments ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📖 EDUCATIONAL VALUE ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This indicator helps traders understand: • How institutional margin requirements affect price • Where forced liquidations create pressure • Natural support and resistance formation • Relationship between leverage and price levels • Market structure and key technical levels ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🔄 VERSION HISTORY ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Version 1.0 (Initial Release): • CME-based zone calculation for 10 instruments • Automatic swing high/low detection • 5 zone levels with customizable display • Historical zones with transparency control • Swing point markers • Trend background indicator • Live statistics table • Multiple alert conditions • Fully customizable colors and styles • English language interface ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📞 SUPPORT & FEEDBACK ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Questions or suggestions?
