Search in scripts for "smart"
Auto Trend [theUltimator5]The Auto Trend indicator was designed to be a unique pattern detection indicator without the use of standard pivot point logic or high/low lines. It is a study in pattern detection by using iterative best-fit logic.
The indicator automatically identifies and draws trend channels by analyzing price action across configurable lookback periods. It finds optimal high and low trendlines that contain price movement, with a middle line marking the trend's center.
Key Features:
Automatic Pattern Detection - Intelligently searches for the best lookback period where price stays within the channel boundaries
Dual Pattern Modes - Choose between Short (20-66 bars) for quick patterns or Long (50-500 bars) for extended trends. Note - the long pattern is fully configurable and can be set anywhere up to 5000 bars.
Smart Caching - Optimized performance that only recalculates when necessary
Customizable Starting Point - Click directly on the chart to set where the trend channel begins
Flexible Lookback Range - Set minimum and maximum lookback periods to match your trading style
Visual Debugging - Optional label displays the active lookback period and violation count
How It Works:
The indicator divides the lookback period into thirds, finds the highest and lowest closes in the first and last thirds, then draws trendlines connecting these points. It can automatically search through different lookback periods to find the one with the fewest price violations (closes outside the channel).
Settings:
Use Auto Lookback - Enable automatic optimal lookback detection
Pattern Length - Short (faster, 1-bar increments) or Long (broader, 5-bar increments)
Min/Max Lookback - Define the search range for the Long pattern
Manual Lookback - Override auto-detection with a fixed period
Custom Colors - Personalize the high, low, and middle line colors
Starting Point - Select where the trend analysis begins
Use Cases:
Identify dominant trend channels across different timeframes
Spot potential support and resistance levels
Determine trend strength and consistency
Time entries and exits based on channel position
The indicator supports up to 5000 bars of historical data for comprehensive trend analysis.
AMT Structure: 80% Traverse, PD Levels & nPOCsHere is a clean, professional description formatted for the TradingView description box. It highlights the methodology (AMT/80% Rule), the specific features, and the credits.
Title: AMT Structure: 80% Traverse, PD Levels & nPOCs
Description:
This indicator is a comprehensive toolkit designed for futures traders utilizing Auction Market Theory (AMT) and Volume Profile strategies. It consolidates multiple scripts into a single, unified overlay to declutter your chart while providing essential structural references for the 80% Traverse setup, intraday context, and longer-term auction targets.
Key Features:
1. 80% Rule / Traverse Setup (Chart Champions Logic)
Automated RTH Open Detection: Hardcoded to the 08:30 AM CT Open to ensure accuracy for US Futures (ES/NQ) regardless of your chart's timezone settings.
Value Area Logic: Automatically calculates the Previous Day's Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and Point of Control (POC).
Setup Detection: If the market opens outside of the previous day's value, the script highlights the Value Area in color (default: Purple), signaling that an 80% traverse (filling the value area) is structurally possible if price re-enters value.
Background Fill: Optional shading between VAH and VAL to clearly visualize the "playing field" for the traverse.
2. Auction Market Theory (AMT) Premarket Levels
Overnight High/Low: Automatically captures the highest and lowest prices traded during the overnight session (17:00 - 08:30 CT).
Breakout Alerts: Includes logic to detect and alert when these overnight levels are broken during the RTH session.
Auto-Cleanup: Lines can be set to auto-delete after a specified time (default: 60 mins into the session) to keep the chart clean after the Initial Balance (IB) period.
3. Structural Reference Levels
Previous Day Levels: Plots Previous Day High, Low, and Equilibrium (Midpoint) as standard reference lines.
Initial Balance (IB): Option to display the First Hour High and Low (08:30 - 09:30 CT) to assess day type (Neutral, Trend, Normal Variation, etc.).
RTH VWAP: An anchored VWAP that resets specifically at the RTH Open (08:30 CT), distinct from the standard 24-hour VWAP.
4. Naked Points of Control (nPOCs)
Multi-Timeframe Tracking: Tracks and plots Naked POCs for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly profiles.
Auto-Cleanup: Lines automatically delete themselves the moment price touches them, ensuring you only see untested levels.
Customization: Toggle each timeframe on/off individually.
Settings & Customization:
Global Offset: Move all text labels to the right with a single setting to prevent price action from obscuring text.
8:30 Open Offset: Independent offset for the Open label to distinguish it from other opening references.
Smart Coloring: Text labels automatically match their corresponding line colors for easy identification.
Modular Toggles: Every section (AMT, VWAP, PD Levels, CCV, nPOCs) can be turned on or off individually to suit your specific trading plan.
Usage: This tool is specifically tuned for ES and NQ futures trading but can be adapted for other instruments. It replaces the need for separate indicators for Overnight Highs/Lows, Previous Day Levels, and Volume Profile targeting.
3 EMA with Alerts 2025This indicator plots three key EMAs (20, 50, and 200) directly on the chart, making it easy to track short-, medium-, and long-term trends. A color-coded table is displayed in the top-right corner for quick reference.
The script also includes smart alerts that trigger only when the state changes:
• 🔵 EMA 20 crossing above EMA 50 & EMA 200 → Bullish signal
• 🔴 EMA 20 crossing below EMA 50 & EMA 200 → Bearish signal
This tool is designed for traders who want clean visuals, reliable alerts, and simplified trend recognition in 2025 markets.
Golden Volume Lines📌 Golden Volume — Lines (Golden Team)
Golden Volume — Lines is an advanced volume-based indicator that detects Ultra High Volume candles using a statistical percentile model, then automatically draws and tracks key price levels derived from those candles.
The indicator highlights where real market interest and liquidity appear and shows how price reacts when those levels are broken.
🔍 How It Works
Volume Measurement
Choose between:
Units (raw volume)
Money (Volume × Average Price)
Average price can be calculated using HL2 or OHLC4.
Percentile-Based Classification
Volume is classified into:
Medium

PEAD ScreenerPEAD Screener - Post-Earnings Announcement Drift Scanner
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHY EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENTS CREATE OPPORTUNITY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The days immediately following an earnings announcement are among the noisiest periods for any stock. Within hours, the market must digest new information about a company's profits, revenue, and future outlook. Analysts scramble to update their models. Institutions rebalance positions. Retail traders react to headlines.
This chaos creates a well-documented phenomenon called Post-Earnings Announcement Drift (PEAD): stocks that beat expectations tend to keep rising, while those that miss tend to keep falling - often for weeks after the initial announcement. Academic research has confirmed this pattern persists across decades and markets.
But not every earnings surprise is equal. A company that beats estimates by 5 cents might move very differently than one that beats by 5 cents with unusually high volume, or one where both earnings AND revenue exceeded expectations. Raw numbers alone don't tell the full story.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW "STANDARDIZED UNEXPECTED" METRICS CUT THROUGH THE NOISE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This screener uses a statistical technique to measure how "surprising" a result truly is - not just whether it beat or missed, but how unusual that beat or miss was compared to the company's own history.
The core idea: convert raw surprises into Z-scores.
A Z-score answers the question: "How many standard deviations away from normal is this result?"
- A Z-score of 0 means the result was exactly average
- A Z-score of +2 means the result was unusually high (better than ~95% of historical results)
- A Z-score of -2 means the result was unusually low
By standardizing surprises this way, we can compare apples to apples. A small-cap biotech's $0.02 beat might actually be more significant than a mega-cap's $0.50 beat, once we account for each company's typical variability.
This screener applies this standardization to three dimensions: earnings (SUE), revenue (SURGE), and volume (SUV).
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE 9 SCREENING CRITERIA
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
─────────────────────────────────────────
1. SUE (Standardized Unexpected Earnings)
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
SUE measures how surprising an earnings result was, adjusted for the company's historical forecast accuracy.
Calculation: Take the earnings surprise (actual EPS minus analyst estimate), then divide by the standard deviation of past forecast errors. This uses a rolling window of the last 8 quarters by default.
Formula: SUE = (Actual EPS - Estimated EPS) / Standard Deviation of Past Errors
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- SUE > +2.0: Strongly positive surprise - earnings beat expectations by an unusually large margin. These stocks often continue drifting higher.
- SUE between 0 and +2.0: Modest positive surprise - beat expectations, but within normal range.
- SUE between -2.0 and 0: Modest negative surprise - missed expectations, but within normal range.
- SUE < -2.0: Strongly negative surprise - significant miss. These stocks often continue drifting lower.
For long positions, look for SUE values above +2.0, ideally combined with positive SURGE.
─────────────────────────────────────────
2. SURGE (Standardized Unexpected Revenue)
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
SURGE applies the same standardization technique to revenue surprises. While earnings can be manipulated through accounting choices, revenue is harder to fake - it represents actual sales.
Calculation: Take the revenue surprise (actual revenue minus analyst estimate), then divide by the standard deviation of past revenue forecast errors.
Formula: SURGE = (Actual Revenue - Estimated Revenue) / Standard Deviation of Past Errors
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- SURGE > +1.5: Strongly positive revenue surprise - the company sold significantly more than expected.
- SURGE between 0 and +1.5: Modest positive surprise.
- SURGE < 0: Revenue missed expectations.
The most powerful signals occur when BOTH SUE and SURGE are positive and elevated (ideally SUE > 2.0 AND SURGE > 1.5). This indicates the company beat on both profitability AND top-line growth - a much stronger signal than either alone.
When SUE and SURGE diverge significantly (e.g., high SUE but negative SURGE), treat with caution - the earnings beat may have come from cost-cutting rather than genuine growth.
─────────────────────────────────────────
3. SUV (Standardized Unexpected Volume)
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
SUV detects unusual trading volume after accounting for how volatile the stock is. More volatile stocks naturally have higher volume, so raw volume comparisons can be misleading.
Calculation: This uses regression analysis to model the expected relationship between price volatility and volume. The "unexpected" volume is the residual - how much actual volume deviated from what the model predicted. This residual is then standardized into a Z-score.
In plain terms: SUV asks "Given how much this stock typically moves, is today's volume unusually high or low?"
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- SUV > +2.0: Exceptionally high volume relative to the stock's volatility. This often signals institutional activity - big players moving in or out.
- SUV between +1.0 and +2.0: Elevated volume - above normal interest.
- SUV between -1.0 and +1.0: Normal volume range.
- SUV < -1.0: Unusually quiet - less activity than expected.
High SUV combined with positive price movement suggests accumulation (buying). High SUV combined with negative price movement suggests distribution (selling).
─────────────────────────────────────────
4. % From D0 Close
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
This measures how far the current price has moved from the closing price on its initial earnings reaction day (D0). The "reaction day" is the first trading day that fully reflects the earnings news - typically the day after an after-hours announcement, or the announcement day itself for pre-market releases.
Calculation: ((Current Price - D0 Close) / D0 Close) × 100
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- Positive values: Stock has gained ground since earnings. The higher the percentage, the stronger the post-earnings drift.
- 0% to +5%: Modest positive drift - earnings were received well but momentum is limited.
- +5% to +15%: Strong drift - buyers continue accumulating.
- > +15%: Exceptional drift - significant institutional interest likely.
- Negative values: Stock has given back gains or extended losses since earnings. May indicate the initial reaction was overdone, or that sentiment is deteriorating.
This metric is most meaningful within the first 5-20 trading days after earnings. Extended drift (maintaining gains over 2+ weeks) is a stronger signal than a quick spike that fades.
─────────────────────────────────────────
5. # Pocket Pivots
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
Pocket Pivots are a volume-based pattern developed by Chris Kacher and Gil Morales. They identify days where institutional buyers are likely accumulating shares without causing obvious breakouts.
Calculation: A Pocket Pivot occurs when:
- The stock closes higher than it opened (up day)
- The stock closes higher than the previous day's close
- Today's volume exceeds the highest down-day volume of the prior 10 trading sessions
The screener counts how many Pocket Pivots have occurred since the earnings announcement.
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- 0 Pocket Pivots: No detected institutional accumulation patterns since earnings.
- 1-2 Pocket Pivots: Some institutional buying interest - worth monitoring.
- 3+ Pocket Pivots: Strong accumulation signal - institutions appear to be building positions.
Pocket Pivots are most significant when they occur:
- Immediately following earnings announcements
- Near moving average support (10-day, 21-day, or 50-day)
- On above-average volume
- After a period of price consolidation
Multiple Pocket Pivots in a short period suggest sustained institutional demand, not just a one-day event.
─────────────────────────────────────────
6. ADX/DI (Trend Strength and Direction)
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength regardless of direction. DI (Directional Indicator) shows whether the trend is bullish or bearish.
Calculation: ADX uses a 14-period lookback to measure how directional (trending) price movement is. Values range from 0 to 100. The +DI and -DI components compare upward and downward movement.
The screener shows:
- ADX value (trend strength)
- Direction indicator: "+" for bullish (price trending up), "-" for bearish (price trending down)
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- ADX < 20: Weak trend - the stock is moving sideways, choppy. Not ideal for momentum trading.
- ADX 20-25: Trend is emerging - potentially starting a directional move.
- ADX 25-40: Strong trend - clear directional movement. Good for momentum plays.
- ADX > 40: Very strong trend - powerful move in progress, but may be extended.
The direction indicator (+/-) tells you which way:
- "25+" means ADX of 25 with bullish direction (uptrend)
- "25-" means ADX of 25 with bearish direction (downtrend)
For post-earnings plays, ideal setups show ADX rising above 25 with positive direction, confirming the earnings reaction is developing into a sustained trend rather than a one-day spike.
─────────────────────────────────────────
7. Institutional Buying PASS
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
This proprietary composite indicator detects patterns consistent with institutional accumulation at three stages after earnings:
EARLY (Days 0-4): Looks for "large block" buying on the earnings reaction day (exceptionally high volume with a close in the upper half of the day's range) combined with follow-through buying on the next day.
MID (Days 5-9): Checks for sustained elevated volume (averaging 1.5x the 20-day average) combined with positive drift and consistent upward price movement (more up days than down days).
LATE (Days 10+): Detects either visible accumulation (positive drift with high volume) OR stealth accumulation (positive drift with unusually LOW volume - suggesting smart money is quietly building positions without attracting attention).
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- Check mark/value of '1': Institutional buying pattern detected. The stock shows characteristics consistent with large players accumulating shares.
- X mark/value of '0': No institutional buying pattern detected. This doesn't mean institutions aren't buying - just that the typical footprints aren't visible.
A passing grade here adds conviction to other bullish signals. Institutions have research teams, information advantages, and long time horizons. When their footprints appear in the data, it often precedes sustained moves.
Important: This is a pattern detection tool, not a guarantee. Always combine with other analysis.
─────────────────────────────────────────
8. Strong ATR Drift PASS
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
This measures whether the stock has drifted significantly relative to its own volatility. Instead of asking "did it move 10%?", it asks "did it move more than 1.5 ATRs?"
ATR (Average True Range) measures a stock's typical daily movement. A volatile stock might move 5% daily, while a stable stock might move 0.5%. Using ATR normalizes for this difference.
Calculation:
ATR Drift = (Current Close - D0 Close) / D0 ATR in dollars
The indicator passes when ATR Drift exceeds 1.5 AND at least 5 days have passed since earnings.
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- Check mark/value of '1': The stock has drifted more than 1.5 times its average daily range since earnings - a statistically significant move that suggests genuine momentum, not just noise.
- X mark/value of '0': The drift (if any) is within normal volatility bounds - could just be random fluctuation.
Why wait 5 days? The immediate post-earnings reaction (days 0-2) often includes gap fills and noise. By day 5, if the stock is still extended beyond 1.5 ATRs from the earnings close, it suggests real buying pressure, not just a reflexive gap.
A passing grade here helps filter out stocks that "beat earnings" but haven't actually moved meaningfully. It focuses attention on stocks where the market is voting with real capital.
─────────────────────────────────────────
9. Days Since D0
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT IS:
Simply counts the number of trading days since the earnings reaction day (D0).
HOW TO INTERPRET:
- Days 0-5 (Green): Fresh earnings - the information is new, institutional repositioning is active, and momentum trades are most potent. This is the "sweet spot" for PEAD strategies.
- Days 6-10 (Neutral): Mid-period - some edge remains but diminishing. Good for adding to winning positions, less ideal for new entries.
- Days 11+ (Red): Extended period - most of the post-earnings drift has typically played out. Higher risk that momentum fades or reverses.
Research shows PEAD effects are strongest in the first 5-10 days after earnings, then decay. Beyond 20-30 days, the informational advantage of the earnings surprise is largely priced in.
Use this to prioritize: focus on stocks with strong signals that are still in the early window, and be more selective about entries as days accumulate.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
You can use this screener in the chart view or in the Screener.
One combination of the above filters to develop a shortlist of positive drift candidates may be:
- SUE > 2.0 (significant earnings beat)
- SURGE > 1.5 (significant revenue beat)
- Positive % From D0 Close (price confirming the good news)
- Institutional Buying PASS (big players accumulating)
- Strong ATR Drift PASS (statistically significant movement)
- Days Since D0 < 10 (still in the active drift window)
No single indicator is sufficient. The power comes from convergence - when multiple independent measures all point the same direction.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SETTINGS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Key adjustable parameters:
- SUE Method: "Analyst-based" uses consensus estimates; "Time-series" uses year-over-year comparison
- Window Size: Number of quarters used for standardization (default: 8)
- ATR Drift Threshold: Minimum ATR multiple for "strong" classification (default: 1.5)
- Institutional Buying thresholds: Adjustable volume and CLV parameters
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
DISCLAIMER
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This screener is a research tool, not financial advice. Past patterns do not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own due diligence and manage risk appropriately. Post-earnings trading involves significant uncertainty and volatility. The 'SUE' in this indicator does not represent a real person; any similarity to actual Sue's (or Susans for that matter) living or dead is quite frankly ridiculous, not to mention coincidental.

4. **Respect the cooldown** - avoid overtrading
5. **Consider the trend** - counter-trend reversals are riskier
---
## 🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts:
| Alert | Trigger |
|-------|---------|
| VAL Bullish Reversal | BULL score meets minimum at VAL |
| VAH Bearish Reversal | BEAR score meets minimum at VAH |
### Setting Up Alerts:
1. Right-click on the chart
2. Select "Add Alert"
3. Choose "able FRVP Reversal" as condition
4. Select desired alert type
5. Configure notification method
---
## 💡 Pro Tips
1. **Combine with trend analysis** - Reversals in trend direction are more reliable
2. **Watch for confluence with other S/R** - If VAH/VAL aligns with round numbers, previous highs/lows, or fib levels, the level is stronger
3. **Volume confirmation** - Higher volume on reversal candle = stronger signal
4. **Time of day matters** - Reversals during active trading hours are more reliable
5. **Adjust sensitivity by market** - Volatile assets may need higher Min Confluence Score
6. **Use multiple timeframes** - Check if reversal level aligns with higher timeframe levels

**Last Updated:** 2024
**Platform:** TradingView (Pine Script v6)
ORB Pro - NY Opening Range Breakout [Elev8+]**ORB Pro - NY Opening Range Breakout ** is a comprehensive, professional-grade toolkit designed for intraday traders who rely on the **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)** strategy.
Unlike standard ORB indicators that simply draw lines, this suite offers a complete dashboard-driven system that monitors **four distinct sessions** simultaneously, providing real-time status updates and precision alerts.
### 🎯 What is the Opening Range Breakout (ORB)?
The Opening Range is the price range established during the first period of the trading session (e.g., the first 15 or 30 minutes). This period represents the initial balance between buyers and sellers. A breakout from this range often signals the likely trend direction for the remainder of the session.
### 🚀 Key Features
**1. Multi-ORB Monitoring**
Stop switching settings constantly. This suite monitors four key ranges at once:
* **Pre-Market 15m** (08:00 – 08:15 ET)
* **Pre-Market 30m** (08:00 – 08:30 ET)
* **NY Cash Open 15m** (09:30 – 09:45 ET)
* **NY Cash Open 30m** (09:30 – 10:00 ET)
**2. Smart Status Dashboard**
A compact panel in the bottom-right corner gives you the live state of every session:
* **⏳ Waiting:** The session has not started yet.
* **⚡ Forming:** The range is currently being built.
* **↔️ Range:** The range has formed, but price is still contained within the range.
* **🚀 BULL / 📉 BEAR:** A confirmed breakout has occurred.
* **⛔ OFF:** The session is disabled in settings.
**3. "Dynamic Resolution" Technology**
This is a unique pro feature.
* **Precision:** The script *always* calculates the High/Low levels using 1-minute data, ensuring your support/resistance lines are pixel-perfect regardless of your chart timeframe.
* **Flexibility:** Breakout signals (Alerts/Labels) are triggered based on your *current* chart timeframe. This allows you to trade a 5m or 15m breakout strategy while keeping 1m-level precision on your levels.
**4. Visual Clarity**
* **Breakout Labels:** Automatically plots "BULL" or "BEAR" labels on the exact candle that confirms a breakout.
* **Profit Targets:** Optional toggle to show 1x and 2x profit targets projected from the breakout level.
* **Time-Bound Signals:** Signals are strictly time-bound to the active window to prevent late, low-quality alerts.
### 🛠️ How to Use
1. **Add to Chart:** Works best on intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m).
2. **Configure:** Enable the sessions you trade (e.g., NY 15m) in the settings.
3. **Wait for Forming:** Watch the box form live. The dashboard will show "⚡ Forming".
4. **Trade the Break:** Wait for a candle **Close** outside the range. The dashboard will flip to "BULL" or "BEAR" and a label will appear.
5. **Manage Risk:** Use the opposite side of the range or the midline as your stop loss.
### ⚙️ Settings Overview
* **Global Settings:** Toggle forming boxes, dashboard, and label visibility.
* **Breakout Method:** Choose between **Close** (safer) or **Wick** (aggressive) for signal triggers.
* **Session Groups:** Individually enable/disable the 4 distinct sessions and customize their colors/styles.

Ultimate Adaptive RSIUltimate Adaptive RSI
RSI That Adapts to Any Market
This isn't your grandpa's RSI. It dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on market conditions—smoother in trends, responsive in ranges.
Traditional RSI fails in strong trends and changing volatility. UA-RSI fixes both by adapting its sensitivity in real-time, giving you reliable signals whether the market is trending, ranging, or transitioning between regimes.
How It Adapts:
Smart Pre-Smoothing: Uses Efficiency Ratio to detect trend strength and automatically lengthens/shortens its smoothing window.
Dominant Cycle Detection: Matches its internal period to the market's actual rhythm.
Dynamic Bands: RMS-based overbought/oversold levels that expand/contract with volatility.
Smoothing Stack: ALMA pre-smoothing → Ultimate Smoother → Jurik filter creates the cleanest RSI you've ever seen.
Trade Signals:
Buy: RSI crosses above lower band or midline + price confirms
Sell: RSI crosses below upper band or midline + price confirms
Bands expand in high volatility → wait for deeper extremes
Bands contract in low volatility → take earlier signals
Signal line for crossover entries
Adaptive smoothing = fewer false signals in trends
Day trading: Use 1.0 band multiplier
Swing trading: Use 1.2-1.5 multiplier
Ranging markets: Lower multiplier to 0.8
Trending markets: Raise multiplier to 1.5+
Bands widen in volatility = wait for deeper extremes
Bands tighten in calm markets = take earlier signals
Never trade RSI alone - always wait for price confirmation

DeltaPulseDeltaPulse: Professional Cumulative Volume Delta Indicator
DeltaPulse is a free cumulative volume delta (CVD) indicator engineered for modern traders who demand precision, adaptability, and visual clarity. Unlike traditional CVD tools that often suffer from scaling issues, excessive noise, or poor responsiveness across timeframes, DeltaPulse delivers a streamlined, professional-grade solution that "just works" – providing actionable insights into buying and selling pressure with minimal setup.
This indicator accumulates the net difference between buying and selling volume (inferred from candle direction), normalizes it intelligently for consistent readability, and applies advanced smoothing to filter out market noise while preserving momentum signals. The result is a clean, momentum-colored line in a dedicated pane, enhanced by subtle visual cues that highlight key market dynamics.
Whether you're a day trader scalping intraday moves, a swing trader analyzing weekly trends, or an institutional analyst reviewing futures contracts, DeltaPulse adapts seamlessly to your workflow. It's designed to be your go-to tool for confirming trends, spotting divergences, and identifying order flow imbalances – all without the bloat of overcomplicated features.
Key Features
Intelligent Normalization for Universal Compatibility
Automatically adjusts scaling based on chart timeframe and symbol volume profile.
Intraday (1-5 min): Uses a 100-period volume average for responsive, lively signals.
Intraday (15+ min): 50-period average for balanced sensitivity.
Daily/Weekly+: 20-period average for clean, long-term perspective.
Ensures the indicator remains visually meaningful and non-flat on any asset – from low-volume penny stocks to high-liquidity indices like ES or NQ.
Advanced Smoothing Options
Six moving averages to match your trading style:
EMA - Quick reactions to recent delta shifts
SMA - Simple Moving Average - Stable, noise-resistant baseline
WMA - Weighted Moving Average - Emphasizes recent data with linear weighting
HMA - Hull Moving Average - Ultra-smooth yet lag-free – ideal for momentum trading
RMA - Running Moving Average (Wilder's) - Trend-following with minimal whipsaws
VWMA - Volume-Weighted Moving Average - Highlights high-volume delta moves
Lower values increase reactivity; higher values enhance smoothness.
Flexible Reset Mechanisms
Session Reset: Clears CVD at the first regular trading bar each day – perfect for intraday analysis.
Weekly Reset: Resets at the start of each new week – suited for swing and position trading.
No manual intervention required; the indicator handles resets reliably across all timeframes.
Background Shading:
Light green tint above zero; light red below.
Extreme highlights when smoothed CVD exceeds 90% of its 80-bar high/low – flags potential exhaustion or absorption zones.
How It Works
DeltaPulse calculates a simple yet effective volume delta on each bar:
Bullish Bar (close ≥ open): Adds full volume as positive delta.
Bearish Bar (close < open): Subtracts full volume as negative delta.
This raw delta accumulates into a running total (CVD), resetting based on your chosen mode. The total is then:
Normalized against a timeframe-adaptive volume average to ensure consistent scaling.
Smoothed using your selected MA type for noise reduction and trend clarity.
Plotted with momentum-based coloring and visual enhancements.
The output is a single, intuitive line that reveals the underlying battle between buyers and sellers – far more reliably than raw volume bars or basic oscillators.
Trading Applications
DeltaPulse shines in revealing order flow dynamics that price action alone often conceals. Here are proven ways to integrate it:
Trend Confirmation & Momentum Trading
Bullish Setup: Rising green line above zero confirms buyer control – enter longs on pullbacks to support.
Bearish Setup: Falling red line below zero signals seller dominance – short on rallies to resistance.
Zero Line Crosses as Reversal Signals
A crossover from negative to positive territory often marks a sentiment shift – use for entry triggers.
Combine with volume spikes or key levels for high-probability setups.
Enhancement: VWMA mode amplifies signals on high-volume breakouts.
Absorption & Exhaustion Zones
Watch for extreme background highlights: A spike to highs followed by reversal suggests large players absorbing supply.
Ideal for fade trades near overextended levels (e.g., after news events).
Avoid low-volume or illiquid symbols, as delta inference relies on reliable candle data.
Timeframe-Agnostic: Solves the common CVD pitfall of being "dead" on intraday charts or erratic on daily ones through smart, automatic normalization.
Lag-Free Responsiveness: The default HMA smoothing strikes a rare balance – smoother than EMA, faster than SMA – without the computational overhead of exotic filters.
Zero Clutter: No histograms, no extraneous plots, no overwhelming alerts. Just pure, distilled order flow intelligence.
Clean Volume (SUV)The Problem with Raw Volume
Traditional volume bars tell you how much traded, but not whether that amount is unusual. This creates noise that misleads traders:
Stock A averages 1M shares with wild daily swings (500K-2M is normal). Today's 2M volume looks like a spike—but it's just a routine high day.
Stock B averages 1M shares with rock-steady volume (950K-1.05M typical). Today's 2M volume is genuinely extraordinary—institutions are clearly active.
Both show identical 200% relative volume. But Stock B's reading is far more significant. Raw volume and simple relative volume (RVol) can't distinguish between these situations, leading to:
- False signals on naturally volatile stocks
- Missed signals on stable stocks where smaller deviations matter
- Inconsistent comparisons across different securities
---
A Solution: Standardized Unexpected Volume (SUV)
SUV applies statistical normalization to volume, measuring how many standard deviations today's volume is from the mean. This z-score approach accounts for each stock's individual volume stability, not just its average.
SUV = (Today's Volume - Average Volume) / Standard Deviation of Volume
Using the examples above:
- Stock A (high volatility): SUV = 2.0 — elevated but not unusual for this stock
- Stock B (low volatility): SUV = 10.0 — extremely unusual, demands attention
SUV automatically calibrates to each security's behaviour, making volume readings comparable across any stock, ETF, or timeframe.
---
What SUV Is Good For
✅ Identifying genuine volume anomalies — separates signal from noise
✅ Comparing volume across different securities — apples-to-apples z-scores
✅ Spotting institutional activity — large players create statistically significant footprints
✅ Confirming breakouts — high SUV validates price moves
✅ Detecting exhaustion — extreme SUV after extended moves may signal climax
✅ Finding "dry" setups — negative SUV reveals quiet accumulation periods
---
Where SUV Has Limitations
⚠️ Earnings/news events — SUV will spike dramatically (by design), but the statistical reading may be less meaningful when fundamentals change
⚠️ Low-float stocks — extreme volume volatility can produce erratic SUV readings
⚠️ First 20 bars — needs lookback period to establish baseline; early readings are less reliable
⚠️ Doesn't predict direction — SUV measures volume intensity, not whether price will rise or fall
---
How to Read This Indicator
Bar Height
Displays actual volume (like a traditional volume chart) so you can still see absolute levels.
Bar Color (SUV Intensity)
Color intensity reflects the SUV z-score. Brighter = more unusual.
Up Days (Green Gradient):
| Color | SUV Range | Meaning |
|--------------|-----------|------------------------------------------|
| Bright Green | ≥ 3.0 | EXTREME — Highly unusual buying activity |
| Green | ≥ 2.0 | VERY HIGH — Significant accumulation |
| Light Green | ≥ 1.5 | HIGH — Above-average interest |
| Pale Green | ≥ 1.0 | ELEVATED — Moderately active |
| Muted Green | 0 to 1.0 | NORMAL — Typical volume |
| Dark Grey | < 0 | DRY — Below-average, quiet |
Down Days (Red Gradient):
| Color | SUV Range | Meaning |
|------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------|
| Bright Red | ≥ 3.0 | EXTREME — Panic selling or capitulation |
| Red | ≥ 2.0 | VERY HIGH — Heavy distribution |
| Light Red | ≥ 1.5 | HIGH — Active selling |
| Pale Red | ≥ 1.0 | ELEVATED — Moderate selling |
| Muted Red | 0 to 1.0 | NORMAL — Routine down day |
| Dark Grey | < 0 | DRY — Light profit-taking |
Coiled State (Tan/Beige):
When detected, bars turn muted tan regardless of direction. This indicates:
- Volume compression (SUV below threshold for consecutive days)
- Volatility contraction (ATR below average)
- Price tightness (small recent moves)
Coiled states may precede significant breakouts.
Special Markers
"P" Label (Blue) — Pocket Pivot detected. Morales & Kacher's signal fires when:
- Price closes higher than previous close
- Price closes above the open (green candle)
- Volume exceeds the highest down-day volume of the last 10 bars
Pocket Pivots may indicate institutional buying before a traditional breakout.
"C" Label (Orange) — Coiled state confirmed. The stock is consolidating with compressed volume and tight price action. Watch for expansion.
Dashboard
The configurable dashboard displays real-time metrics. Default items:
- Vol — Current bar volume
- SUV — Z-score value
- Class — Classification (EXTREME/VERY HIGH/HIGH/ELEVATED/NORMAL/DRY/COILED)
- Proj RVol — Projected end-of-day relative volume (intraday only)
Additional optional items: Direction, Coil Status, Relative ATR, Pocket Pivot, Average Volume.
---
Practical Usage Tips
1. SUV ≥ 2 on breakouts — Validates the move has institutional participation
2. Watch for SUV < 0 bases — Quiet accumulation zones where smart money builds positions
3. Coil → Expansion — After consecutive coiled days, the first SUV ≥ 1.5 bar often signals direction
4. Pocket Pivots in bases — Early accumulation signals before price breaks out
5. Extreme SUV (≥3) after extended moves — May indicate climax/exhaustion rather than continuation

This indicator does not provide financial advice. Always combine volume analysis with price action, market context, and proper risk management. No animals were harmed during the coding and testing of this indicator.
MACD-V Multi-Timeframe Confluence DashboardThis indicator identifies high-probability trade entries by analyzing momentum alignment across multiple timeframes using the MACD-V (Volatility Normalized MACD) formula. It features a fully customizable signal engine that allows traders to specify exactly which timeframes must agree before a trade signal is generated.
Optimized Defaults
By default, the indicator is tuned to the 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour timeframes. We have found this specific combination performs best for identifying robust trends while filtering out noise. However, the strategy is fully flexible—users can easily adjust these settings to fit scalping (1m/5m) or swing trading (4H/Daily) styles.
Indicator Features
Dynamic Confluence: A Buy or Sell signal (displayed as a large + on the chart) is generated only when all selected timeframes are in agreement. This ensures you are trading with the dominant trend across multiple time scales.
Alternating Signal Filter: To prevent repetitive alerts during strong trends, the script uses a smart filter: a new Buy signal will only trigger if the last confirmed signal was a Sell (and vice versa).
Live Dashboard: An on-screen table displays the real-time status of every timeframe (Trend, Curl, and MACD Value). Timeframes currently active in your strategy are highlighted in yellow.
Local Entry Arrows (Optional): The script includes smaller red/green arrows that indicate simple MACD line crosses on the current chart's timeframe. These can be useful for precise timing but can be noisy in choppy markets. These are turned off by default to keep the chart clean, but can be enabled in the "Visuals" settings if you require granular entry signals.
How to Use
Check the Dashboard: Look for the yellow-highlighted rows in the table to see which timeframes are currently driving your signals.
Wait for the Cross (+): A green + indicates bullish momentum is aligned across all your chosen timeframes.
Refine (Optional): Turn on "Show Local Arrows" if you want to see the specific moment the MACD crosses on your current timeframe to fine-tune your entry.

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR
```

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable
---
## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity
```

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal
```

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background
---
## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)
□ YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 loaded (optional but recommended)
□ All 5 TradingView alerts configured
□ Broker platform tested with demo account
□ Stop/target orders can be placed in <10 seconds
□ Daily journal template prepared
□ Emotional state: calm, patient, focused
□ Account size: Minimum $10,000 recommended
□ Understand auto-disappear behavior (ORBs delete at session end)
□ Know NOT to trade before 30min ORB complete
□ Comfortable with looking at chart and seeing 6+ lines (3 ORBs + targets)
IF ALL CHECKED → YOU'RE READY TO SNIPE! 🎯
IF ANY UNCHECKED → KEEP PRACTICING, DON'T RUSH
```

## 💎 THE CORE PRINCIPLE

╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ "The ORB doesn't predict the market. ║
║ The ORB reveals where institutions are positioned. ║

║ When you see all 3 ORBs align and break, ║
║ you're not guessing direction— ║
║ you're following the billion-dollar order flow." ║
║ ║
║ THAT'S YOUR EDGE. ║

指标简介
Buy/Sell Signal 多维度交易信号指标
这是一个结合了EMA趋势过滤、CCI动量指标和RSI背景环境的多维度交易信号系统。通过三重过滤机制，帮助交易者在合适的市场环境中捕捉高质量的买卖信号。
核心特点
✅ 趋势过滤：使用233周期EMA确保顺势交易
✅ 动量确认：CCI(33)穿越信号作为入场触发
✅ 背景过滤：RSI(13)环境判断，避免同一背景重复信号
✅ 智能去重：每个RSI背景周期内只标记首次信号
✅ 清晰标识：三角形标记配合颜色区分买卖方向
使用说明
信号逻辑：
做多信号 (Buy)：
收盘价 > EMA233（确认上升趋势）
CCI33向上穿越20（动量转强）
情况1：在RSI红色背景中首次出现
情况2：在RSI绿色背景中出现
做空信号 (Sell)：
收盘价 < EMA233（确认下降趋势）
CCI33向下穿越80（动量转弱）
情况1：在RSI绿色背景中首次出现
情况2：在RSI红色背景中出现
参数设置
EMA过滤长度：默认233，用于判断主趋势方向
CCI长度：默认33，控制动量指标灵敏度
RSI长度：默认13，用于背景环境判断
重要提示
⚠️ 信号出现后不要立即下单！请务必检查：
CCI中期是否出现"浪子回头"形态
OBV成交量状态是否配合
RSI是否成功穿越50中线
结合其他技术分析工具综合判断
💡 建议配合使用：
支撑阻力位分析
成交量指标（如OBV）
更大周期的趋势确认
📈 English Version
Indicator Overview
Buy/Sell Signal - Multi-Dimensional Trading Signal System
This is a comprehensive trading signal system that combines EMA trend filtering, CCI momentum indicator, and RSI background environment. Through a triple-layer filtering mechanism, it helps traders capture high-quality buy and sell signals in appropriate market conditions.
Key Features
✅ Trend Filter: 233-period EMA ensures trend-following trades
✅ Momentum Confirmation: CCI(33) crossover signals as entry triggers
✅ Background Filter: RSI(13) environment detection to avoid duplicate signals
✅ Smart Deduplication: Only first signal per RSI background cycle
✅ Clear Visualization: Triangle markers with color-coded direction
How to Use
Signal Logic:
Buy Signal:
Close > EMA233 (confirms uptrend)
CCI33 crosses above 20 (momentum strengthens)
Case 1: First occurrence in RSI red background
Case 2: Occurs in RSI green background
Sell Signal:
Close < EMA233 (confirms downtrend)
CCI33 crosses below 80 (momentum weakens)
Case 1: First occurrence in RSI green background
Case 2: Occurs in RSI red background
Parameter Settings
EMA Filter Length: Default 233, for main trend direction
CCI Length: Default 33, controls momentum sensitivity
RSI Length: Default 13, for background environment detection
Important Notes
⚠️ DO NOT enter trades immediately after signal appears! Always check:
Whether CCI shows a "reversal" pattern in medium-term
OBV volume status confirmation
Whether RSI successfully crosses the 50 midline
Combine with other technical analysis tools
💡 Recommended to Use With:
Support/Resistance analysis
Volume indicators (such as OBV)
Higher timeframe trend confirmation

ForzAguanno - Premium / Discount (Range Glissant)Premium / Discount Zones – Dynamic Range (Fibo-based)
This indicator highlights Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones using a dynamic Fibonacci range calculated from recent price action.
It is designed to help traders contextualize price and avoid taking trades in unfavorable locations (e.g. buying too high or selling too low).
- How it works
The indicator automatically:
- Detects the highest high (HH) and lowest low (LL) over a rolling range
- Builds a Fibonacci-style structure between LL → HH
- Defines three key areas:
Discount Zone (lower part of the range)
Equilibrium Zone (around the 50% level)
Premium Zone (upper part of the range)
Two additional extreme levels are used:
0.075 → deep discount
0.925 → deep premium
These levels help isolate areas where price is statistically stretched.
- Visual elements
- Horizontal levels:
- Green → Discount
- Purple → Equilibrium
- Red → Premium
- Text labels are placed inside each zone for instant readability.
Zones are extended into the future for cleaner visualization.
- How to use it
This tool is best used as a context filter, not a standalone signal generator.
Typical use cases:
Look for longs in Discount
Look for shorts in Premium
Use Equilibrium as a neutral / decision zone
Combine with structure, momentum, or entry models
It works particularly well with:
Market structure concepts
Smart money / range-based trading
Session-based strategies
⚠️ Important notes
This indicator does not predict direction
It provides context, not signals
Always combine with proper risk management

Description:
Momentum Candle v3 is a technical indicator designed to identify market momentum signals based on price movement within a single candle. The indicator measures the size of the candle's body and wick to determine if the market is showing strong bullish or bearish momentum.
Key Features:
Candle Size: Measures price movement within a single candle to assess market momentum.
Short Wick: Focuses on wick length, with short wicks indicating that the closing price is more significant than the opening price.
Bullish/Bearish Momentum: Provides bullish signals when the closing price is higher than the open, and bearish signals when the closing price is lower than the open.
Customizable Minimum Body: Users can adjust the minimum body size for XAUUSD and USDJPY pairs according to their trading preferences.
Timeframe: Works on M5 and M15 timeframes for XAUUSD and USDJPY currency pairs.
How to Use:
Bullish Signal: The indicator signals bullish momentum when the candle body is sufficiently large and the wick is short, with the closing price higher than the open.
Bearish Signal: The indicator signals bearish momentum when the candle body is sufficiently large and the wick is short, with the closing price lower than the open.
Pip Parameters: Adjust the pip values for XAUUSD and USDJPY according to market conditions or your trading preferences.
Note: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and does not guarantee specific trading results. It is recommended to use it alongside other strategies and analyses for better accuracy.
Realistic Backtest Results:
To ensure transparency and honesty in the backtest, here are some key factors to consider:
Position Size: The backtest uses a realistic position size of about 5-10% of the account equity per trade.
Commission & Slippage: A commission of 0.1% per trade and slippage of 1 pip were used in the backtest simulation to reflect real market conditions.
Number of Trades: The backtest sample includes more than 100 trades for a representative result.
Example of Backtest Results:
Profitability: The backtest results on XAUUSD and USDJPY show consistent performance with this strategy on the M5 and M15 timeframes.
Commission and Slippage: Adjusting for commission and slippage showed better accuracy under more realistic market scenarios.
How to Use the Indicator:
Signals from this indicator can be used to confirm market momentum in trending conditions. However, it is highly recommended to combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools to minimize the risk of false signals.
Important Notes:
Honesty & Transparency: This indicator is designed to provide signals based on technical analysis and does not guarantee specific trading results.
No Over-Claims: The backtest results displayed represent realistic scenarios and are not intended to promise certain profits.
