FVG pointsFVGs ( fair value gaps) are imbalances that indicate displacement and are useful for reversal strategies that require displacement after a liquidity sweep
This indicator shows the size of the gap in points/dollars which can help determine momentum and strength in reversals, as does a failure or inversion (iFVG) of these gap if they fail to act as support or resistance to price. As stops are often placed on the other side of a fair value gap from entry, the indicator helps give traders an idea of stop loss size for calculating position size.
Fvg gaps below a certain points size can be considered to be weaker, larger gaps show stronger momentum. The indicator allows a minimum point size to be set so that FVGs below this minimum value will be shown without a points value.
Points value is also shown for inverted FVGs (iFVGs) by a change in colour and length of box.
By default, multiple gaps are combined together and the point value of the gap is shown, this can be toggled off in the settings to show the values of the individual gaps.
Settings:
Lookback - how many candles to look for FVGs and iFVGs
Change length of the FVG box
Change settings to decide the minimum size of gap to label
colours of boxes and labels
Option to show individual gaps or combined gaps

3SPC Three Candle Price Action Setup3SPC (Three Candle Price Action Setup) is an open-source indicator designed to detect
a simple and clearly defined three-candle price action pattern.
The logic is based on the following structure:
• The first two candles move in the same direction (bullish or bearish).
• The third candle interacts with the real bodies of both previous candles,
which may indicate a short-term liquidity sweep or price reaction.
• A bullish setup is confirmed when price holds above the open of the first candle.
• A bearish setup is confirmed when price holds below the open of the first candle.
This script does not use oscillators or lagging indicators.
It is intended as a visual aid for discretionary traders and should be used
together with market context, risk management and higher timeframe analysis.
The script is published as open-source for educational and transparency purposes.

UK100 London Judas & IFVG SetupUK100 London Judas & IFVG Setup
Overview This indicator is a specialized trading tool designed to automate the ICT Judas Swing strategy specifically for the UK100 (FTSE 100) index during the London Market Open. It combines institutional time-based logic with price action confirmation using Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) to identify high-probability reversal setups.
How It Works The strategy is based on the concept that the initial move after the London Open is often a "fake-out" (manipulation) designed to trap retail traders and engineer liquidity before the true trend of the day begins.
Session & Opening Price:
The script marks the London Open price (default 09:00 Warsaw / 08:00 London time) with a dashed line.
This serves as the "line in the sand." Prices moving away from this line initially are monitored for manipulation.
Judas Swing (Liquidity Sweep):
If price moves BELOW the open, it is hunting Sell-Side Liquidity (trapping sellers).
If price moves ABOVE the open, it is hunting Buy-Side Liquidity (trapping buyers).
The Entry Trigger: Inversion FVG (IFVG):
The indicator scans for Fair Value Gaps (FVG) created during the manipulation phase.
BUY Signal: The price manipulates lower, creates a Bearish FVG (Red Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes ABOVE that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Green), acting as support.
SELL Signal: The price manipulates higher, creates a Bullish FVG (Green Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes BELOW that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Orange), acting as resistance.
Key Features
Automated Pattern Recognition: No need to manually draw gaps. The script detects valid FVG inversions that align with the Judas Swing logic.
Built-in Risk Calculator: The signal labels display the exact Lot Size you should use based on your account balance and risk percentage (default 0.5%). It calculates this dynamically based on the Stop Loss distance.
Institutional Targets: The indicator fetches H1 Fractals (Liquidity) from the 1-hour timeframe and plots them on your 1-minute chart as blue lines. These are your primary Take Profit (TP) levels.
Stop Loss Visualization: Automatically suggests a Stop Loss placement behind the swing high/low of the reversal structure.
How to Use
Timeframe: Set your chart to 1 Minute (1m).
Asset: UK100 (FTSE 100).
Wait: Allow the London session to open. Watch for price to move away from the opening line.
Execute: When a BUY or SELL label appears:
Enter the trade using the Lot Size shown on the label.
Set your Stop Loss at the price shown on the label.
Target the blue H1 Liquidity lines for profit taking.
Settings
Timezone: Set this to your chart/exchange timezone (Default: Europe/Warsaw).
Account Balance: Input your current trading capital (e.g., 100,000) for accurate risk calculations.
Risk Per Trade %: The percentage of your account you are willing to lose if the Stop Loss is hit (Standard: 0.5% - 1.0%).
Contract Size: The value of 1 point movement (Check your broker's specifications. Usually 1 for CFDs).
Alerts You can set a single alert in TradingView to capture all signals. Select the indicator and choose "Any alert() function call". You will receive a notification with the direction (Buy/Sell), Entry Price, and Lot Size.

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
High
Ultra High Volume
Thresholds are calculated using a rolling percentile window.
Ultra Volume candles are colored orange.
Dynamic High & Low Levels
For every Ultra Volume candle:
A High and Low dotted line is drawn.
Lines extend to the right until price breaks them.
Smart Line Break Detection (Wick-Based)
A line is considered broken when price wicks through it.
When a break occurs:
🟧 Orange line → broken by an Ultra Volume candle
⚪ White line → broken by a normal candle
The line stops exactly at the breaking candle.
🔔 Alerts
Alert on Ultra High Volume candles
Alert when a High or Low line is broken

15 min Trailstop15m High/Low Liquidity Lines (1m) — Indicator Description
15m High/Low Liquidity Lines (1m) is a precision liquidity-mapping tool designed for intraday traders who understand the importance of higher-timeframe liquidity levels while executing on the 1-minute chart.
This indicator automatically detects confirmed 15-minute swing highs and swing lows using pivot logic. When a new 15m high or low forms:
✔ Liquidity Line Generation
A horizontal line is drawn exactly at the price level of the pivot.
The line is anchored to the exact 1-minute candle that produced the 15m high/low, ensuring perfect visual alignment.
The line extends only up to the current bar — not across the whole chart.
Optional text labels (“15m High”, “15m Low”) can be shown at the start of each line.
✔ Auto-Cleanup (Smart Liquidity Sweep Detection)
If price trades through the level, the corresponding line and label are:
Instantly deleted
Marking the level as taken/swept
Allowing the chart to stay clean and focused on active liquidity only
This mimics institutional liquidity logic: once the high or low is violated, the target is considered filled and removed.
✔ Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts that fire when:
A new 15m high is confirmed
A new 15m low is confirmed
This allows the trader to react immediately when fresh liquidity levels appear.
✔ Customization Options
You can fully tailor the visual representation:
Turn highs and/or lows on or off
Choose line style (solid, dashed, dotted)
Customize line color and thickness
Customize the label style, size, and transparency
Who Is This For?
This indicator is ideal for:
ICT-style traders
Liquidity-based scalpers
1-minute ES/NQ traders
Anyone who uses HTF liquidity levels to frame trades on the LTF
It provides a clean, automated method to track active 15-minute liquidity levels directly on the 1-minute chart with zero clutter and perfect alignment.
Volume Threshold Levels - Crypto LidyaVolume Threshold Levels – Crypto Lidya
Understanding volume behavior is one of the most effective ways to detect trend changes, manipulation candles, aggressive entries, and institutional activity.
Volume Threshold Levels (VTL) not only displays raw volume but also calculates dynamic volume thresholds (2x – 3x – 4x) based on the moving average, allowing you to identify statistically meaningful volume anomalies with precision.
📌 1. Volume Columns
The indicator plots each bar’s volume using traditional column-style visualization.
Green: Bullish candle
Red: Bearish candle
Gray: Neutral candle
This helps traders clearly understand the relationship between price and volume.
📌 2. Average Volume Area
VTL offers two types of moving averages for volume:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
The average volume is drawn as a soft yellow area across the chart.
This area acts as the baseline for normal volume levels.
📌 3. Dynamic Threshold Lines (2x / 3x / 4x)
The script calculates and displays multipliers of the average volume:
2x Average
3x Average
4x Average
These levels appear as bright yellow lines.
They are extremely useful for identifying breakouts, traps, and aggressive institutional entries.
📌 4. Volume Spike Detection (Alerts)
VTL identifies upward crossovers where volume breaks above key levels:
1x Volume Signal
2x Volume Signal
3x Volume Signal
4x Volume Signal
These can be used directly as TradingView alerts.
This allows you to automate detection of high-impact volume spikes.

XAUUSD Macro Anomaly Pulses (Chart XAU) - sudoXAUUSD Macro Anomaly Pulses
A simple pulse indicator that highlights when XAUUSD moves in a way that macro conditions cannot fully explain
Overview
This indicator marks candles on XAUUSD that behave differently than what the broader market suggests should happen.
Instead of looking at XAUUSD alone, this tool compares gold’s actual movement to an expected movement based on:
Other gold cross pairs (XAUJPY, XAUAUD, XAUCHF)
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), inverted
The US30 index (Dow Jones)
When XAUUSD moves much stronger or weaker than this macro-based expectation, the indicator plots a small pulse (a circle) directly on the candle.
Purpose
This indicator helps you quickly see when a candle on XAUUSD is acting “out of character” compared to normal macro flow. In other words:
“Did XAUUSD move in a way that makes sense with the rest of the market, or did something weird happen?”
These unusual moves often signal:
Liquidity grabs
Stop hunts
News-driven spikes
False breakouts
Front-running of macro shifts
How It Works
It reads the XAUUSD candles directly from the chart.
This ensures pulses stick to your candles correctly.
It pulls data from basket legs (XAUJPY, XAUAUD, XAUCHF) and macro symbols (DXY, US30) using security calls.
It converts each symbol into a simple % return per candle.
It builds an “expected” gold move using weighted inputs:
Average return of gold crosses
Inverse return of DXY
Return of US30
It calculates the “residual,” which means:
actual XAU return - expected macro return
It turns that into a Z-score to measure how extreme the deviation is.
If the Z-score is too high or too low, the script marks the candle:
Aqua pulse below bar = unusually strong move
Fuchsia pulse above bar = unusually weak move
How to Interpret the Pulses
Aqua Pulse (below candle) – Bullish anomaly
XAUUSD moved stronger than the macro environment suggests.
Meaning:
-Possible liquidity grab upward
-Possible early trend move
-Possible false breakout
-Price may be overreacting
Fuchsia Pulse (above candle) – Bearish anomaly
XAUUSD moved weaker than expected.
Meaning:
-Possible liquidity sweep downward
-Possible aggressive sell-side event
-Possible exhaustion
-Price may be taking liquidity before reversing
Typical Use Cases
-Spot moments when gold acts independently of macro
-Identify candles that might signal a reversal or a trap
-Confirm whether a breakout is real or suspicious
-Filter trades by macro alignment
-Help understand when XAUUSD is reacting to news or liquidity instead of fundamentals
Inputs Explained
- Z-score Lookback – How many candles are considered normal behavior
- Z-threshold – How extreme a move must be before it is marked
- Basket / DXY / US30 weights – How much influence each macro component has

[Statistics] killzone SFPSFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)
This indicator automatically finds and draws the high and low of the Asia, London, and New York trading sessions. It then hunts for Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) that sweep these key session levels.
The main purpose of this script is to gather statistics on when these high-probability SFPs occur, allowing you to map out and identify the times of day when they are most frequent.
How to Use This Indicator
Set Your SFP Timeframe: In the settings, choose the timeframe you want to hunt for SFPs on (e.g., 1H, 15m). Important: You must also set your main chart to this exact same timeframe for the statistics to be collected correctly.
Define Your Sessions: Go to the "Session Definitions" tab.
Set the Global Timezone to your preferred trading timezone (e.g., "America/New_York"). This controls all session times and table times.
Adjust the start and end times for Asia, London, and NY AM sessions.
You can turn off sessions you don't want to track (like NY Lunch or NY PM).
You can also change the colors and text style for the session boxes here.
Set Confirmation Bars: In "SFP Engine Settings," the "Confirmation Bars" (default is 2) defines how many bars must close after the SFP bar without invalidating the level. An SFP is only "confirmed" and drawn after this period.
0 = Confirms immediately on the SFP candle's close.
2 = Confirms 2 bars after the SFP candle's close.
Read the Statistics: The "Custom SFP Statistics" table will appear on your chart. This table logs every confirmed SFP and tells you:
Which time of day they happen most.
How many were Bearish (swept a high) vs. Bullish (swept a low).
It's set by default to show the "Top 20" most frequent times, sorted chronologically.
Filter Your Chart (Optional): If your chart feels cluttered, go to "Visual Time Filter" and turn it ON.
Set a time window (e.g., "09:30-11:00").
The indicator will now only draw SFP signals that occurred within that specific time window. This is perfect for focusing on a single killzone.
How to Set Up Alerts
You can set up server-side alerts to be notified every time a new SFP is confirmed.
Check the "Enable SFP Alerts" box at the top of the indicator's settings.
Click the "Alert" button (alarm clock icon) on the TradingView toolbar.
In the "Condition" dropdown, select "SFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)".
In the second dropdown, choose "Any alert() function call".
Most Important Step: In the "Message" box, delete any default text and type in this exact placeholder:
{{alert_message}}
Set the trigger to "Once Per Bar Close".
Click "Create".
How Alerts Work (Triggers & Filtering)
Trigger: Alerts are tied to the confirmed signal. An alert will only fire after your "Confirmation Bars" have passed and the SFP is locked in. This prevents you from getting alerts on fake-outs.
Alert Filtering: The alerts are linked to the "Visual Time Filter". If you turn on the Visual Time Filter (e.g., to 09:30-11:00), you will only receive alerts for SFPs that are confirmed within that time window. If an SFP happens at 14:00, the script will ignore it, it will not be drawn, and it will not send you an alert. This allows you to get alerts only for the session you are actively trading.
Note: This is a first draft of this indicator. I will continue to work on it and improve it over time, as it may still contain small bugs.
Acknowledgements:
A big thank you to TFO (tradeforopp). The session detection logic and the visual style for the session boxes were adapted from his excellent "ICT Killzones & Pivots " indicator.
Average Candle Body (24h Rolling)This indicator calculates the average size of candle bodies (|Close – Open|) over the last 24 hours, regardless of your current chart timeframe.
Unlike ATR or ADR, which measure total range (High – Low) or day-to-day volatility, this tool focuses purely on the real body size of candles — a more accurate representation of in-session price momentum and liquidity activity.
🔍 How it works
The script automatically determines how many candles represent the last 24 hours based on your current timeframe (e.g. 288 candles on a 5-minute chart).
It then computes a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the absolute candle body size across that rolling 24-hour window.
Optionally, the script also plots the current candle body size as a grey histogram for quick comparison.
⚙️ Use cases
Gauge intraday volatility based on average body movement rather than wicks.
Build dynamic stop-loss models (e.g., Stop = 1.2 × AverageBodySize).
Detect periods of compression or expansion in price action.
Filter or confirm setups (e.g., only trade when candle bodies exceed their 24 h average).
📈 Displayed elements
Orange line: average candle body size (rolling 24 hours)
Grey histogram: current candle body size for each bar
Works automatically across all timeframes and assets (crypto, forex, indices, etc.)
💡 Pro tip
This indicator pairs exceptionally well with:
EMA-based momentum systems (e.g. EMA 8/21 crosses)
Session-based reversal or sweep strategies (Asia-London transitions)
VWAP or liquidity-based frameworks where candle compression matters
📘 How to Interpret
When the orange line (24h average candle body) is rising, it indicates that average body sizes are expanding — signaling increasing intraday momentum and participation. This often aligns with periods of higher volatility, stronger trends, or major session opens (London/New York).
When the orange line is falling, it shows contracting body sizes, meaning the market is entering consolidation, reduced volatility, or indecision. Such periods often precede major breakouts or reversals.
Use this reading to:
Avoid false breakouts during low-body periods.
Tighten or widen stops based on real-time market compression or expansion.
Confirm reversals: a shrinking average body after a strong impulse can signal momentum exhaustion.

Multi Pivot Trend [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Multi Pivot Trend is an advanced market-structure-driven trend engine that evaluates trend strength by scanning multiple pivot breakouts simultaneously.
Instead of relying on a single swing length, it tracks breakouts across ten increasing pivot lengths — then averages their behavior to produce a smooth, reliable trend reading.
Mitigation logic (close, wick, or HL2 touches) controls how breakouts are confirmed, giving traders institutional-style flexibility similar to BOS/CHoCH validation rules.
This indicator not only colors candles based on trend strength, but also extends trend strength and volatility-scaled projection candles to show where trend pressure may expand next.
Pivot breakout lines and labels mark key changes, making the trend transitions extremely clear.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Market trend strength is reflected by multiple pivot breakouts, not just one.
The indicator analyzes ten pivot structures from smaller to larger swings.
Each bullish or bearish pivot breakout contributes to trend score.
Mitigation options (close / wick / HL2) imitate smart-money breakout confirmation logic.
Trend score is averaged and translated into colors and extension bars.
Neutral regime ≈ weak trend or transition zone (trend compression).
🔵 FEATURES
Multi-Pivot Engine — tracks 10 pivot-based trend signals simultaneously.
Mitigation Modes :
• Close — breakout requires candle close beyond pivot
• Wicks — breakout requires wick violation
• HL2 — breakout confirmed when average (H+L)/2 crosses level
Dynamic Color System :
• Blue → confirmed bullish rotation
• Red → confirmed bearish rotation
• Orange → neutral / transition state
Breakout Visualization — draws pivot breakout lines in real-time.
Trend Labels — prints trend %.
Trend Volatility-Scaled Extension Candles — ATR/trend strength based candle projections show momentum continuation strength.
Gradient Pivot Encoding — higher pivot lengths = deeper structure considered.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use strong blue/red periods to follow dominant structural trend.
Watch for color transition into orange — possible trend change or consolidation.
Pivot breakout lines help validate structure shifts without clutter.
Wick mitigation catches aggressive liquidity-sweep based breaks.
Close/HL2 mitigation catches cleaner market structure rotations.
Extension bars visualize trend pressure — large extensions = strong push.
Best paired with volume or volatility confirmation tools.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Multi Pivot Trend is a structural trend recognition system that blends multiple pivot breakouts into one clean trend score — with institutional-style mitigation logic and volatility-projected trend extensions.
It gives traders a powerful, visually intuitive way to track momentum, spot trend rotations early, and understand true structural flow beyond simple MA-based approaches.
Use it to stay aligned with the dominant swing direction while avoiding noise and false flips.
Custom Two Sessions H/L/50% LevelsTrack high/low/midpoint levels across two customizable time sessions. Perfect for monitoring H4 blocks, session ranges, or any custom time periods as reference levels for lower timeframe trading.
What This Indicator Does:
Tracks and projects High, Low, and 50% Midpoint levels for two fully customizable time sessions. Unlike fixed-session indicators, you define EXACTLY when each session starts and ends.
Key Features:
• Two independent sessions with custom start/end times (hour and minute)
• High/Low/50% midpoint tracking for each session
• Visual session boxes showing calculation periods
• Horizontal lines projecting levels into the future
• Historical session levels remain visible for reference
• Works on any chart timeframe (M1, M5, M15, H1, H4, etc.)
• Full visual customization (colors, line styles, widths)
• DST timezone support
Common Use Cases:
H4 Candle Tracking - Set sessions to 4-hour blocks (e.g., 6-10am, 10am-2pm) to track individual H4 highs/lows
H1 Candle Tracking - 1-hour blocks for scalping reference levels
Session Trading - ETH vs RTH, London vs NY, Asian session, etc.
Custom Time Periods - Any time range you want to monitor
How to Use:
The indicator identifies key price levels from higher timeframe periods. Use previous session H/L/50% as reference levels for:
Identifying sweep and reclaim setups
Lower timeframe structural flip confirmations
Support/resistance zones for entries
Delivery targets after breaks of structure
Settings:
Configure each session's start/end times independently. The indicator automatically triggers at the first bar crossing into your specified time, making it compatible with all chart timeframes.
Scissors&Knifes V3.1✂️ The Scissors (PAG Chop V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Scissors measure market compression and breakout readiness.
They use a modified Choppiness Index that looks at the relationship between:
True Range volatility (ATR × period length)
The total high–low range over the same window.
The smaller the ratio (sum of TR vs range), the more directional and impulsive the market is.
The higher the ratio, the more “sideways” the market trades.
This version smooths the result over PAG_SMOOTHLEN bars and applies several color bands that correspond to volatility states.
🎨 Color code meaning
Range State Color Interpretation
≤ 30 Strong Red #8B0000 Momentum exhaustion on downside, sellers dominating — about to reverse or already strong down-trend.
30 – 38 Brick Red #A52A2A Fading downside pressure; often the “bleeding edge” of a bearish climax.
38 – 55 Transparent black (α≈100) Neutral chop zone — indecision, range-building.
55 – 61.8 Yellow (optional) #DAA520 Early compression pocket where volatility starts contracting; the calm before a trend.
61.8 – 70 Bright Green #556B2F Energy release phase: volatility breaking out upward.
≥ 70 Strong Green #355E3B Sustained bullish drive, often continuation leg of a trend.
🪶 Secret nuance:
The transition bands (38–45 and 45–55) are treated as fully transparent to mark “dead zones.”
When PAG Chop sits here, all label activity pauses — the system resets its cluster memory so the next colored print begins a new “cluster”, letting you clearly see where fresh directional momentum starts.
🧩 Cluster logic
Every time a colored (non-transparent) reading appears, it belongs to a “color cluster.”
Grey labels (= count 1) mark the genesis of a new cluster, and following counts 2, 3, 4 … represent the internal continuity of that trend state.
You can optionally hide the first N grey or count 2 labels to reduce clutter on the initial stabilization bars.
✂️ Label meaning
Each label shows:
Emoji ✂️
Current count (e.g. ✂️ = 3 means 3 timeframes are simultaneously firing)
Optional list of the timeframes that contribute.
So a high count (e.g. 8–10) means many lower TFs are synchronizing volatility breakout — a multiframe alignment, often just before an acceleration burst.
🔪 The Knife (Mr Blonde V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Mr Blonde converts the slope of a long EMA into an angle-of-attack metric — literally the “tilt” of market momentum.
It computes the EMA gradient relative to price span and rescales it into degrees (-5 ° to +5 °).
The steeper the angle, the stronger the directional push.
🎨 Color code meaning
Angle range Color Interpretation
≥ +5 ° Transparent (Black 1) Fully over-extended up move — wait for reset.
+3.57 – +5 ° Dark Red Strong upward slope, momentum apex.
+2.14 – +3.57 ° Orange Medium upward slope, trend acceleration zone.
+0.71 – +2.14 ° Light Orange Mild upward bias, pre-momentum phase.
0 to -0.71 ° Yellow Neutral transition.
-0.71 – -2.14 ° Olive Green Soft bearish slope.
-2.14 – -3.57 ° Olive Drab Building bearish momentum.
-3.57 – -5 ° Hunter Green Strong downward angle, aggressive push.
≤ -5 ° Transparent (Black 2) Oversold/over-tilted — likely exhaustion.
🪶 Secret nuance:
Mr Blonde uses a “span normalization” factor that divides EMA slope by the dynamic range of highs and lows.
This lets it compare angles fairly across assets with different volatility profiles (e.g. BTC vs ES) — it’s one of the rare EMA-angle implementations that self-scales properly.
🗡 Label meaning
Emoji 🔪
Count = how many TFs share the same momentum angle bias.
When many TFs show the same slope polarity (e.g. knife = 8), you’re in a deep momentum cascade — a “knife trend.”
💫 Yellow knife
The yellow state marks neutrality or slope flattening.
If you enable yellow visibility (mb_show_yellow), you can see where momentum cools off — often the earliest reversal hint.
⚙️ Shared mechanics between ✂️ and 🔪
Multi-timeframe sweep
The script cycles through 1 m → 10 m by default, running both engines once per TF.
Each returning true adds +1 to the count.
So:
sc_hits = count of timeframes where PAG fires + 1
knife_hits = count of timeframes where MB fires + 1
That “+1 shift” means there’s always at least 1, letting count = 1 represent the local TF itself.
Cluster limiter
If Limit max labels per cluster is on, you cap how many total symbols (both ✂️ & 🔪, including trails) can appear within one color phase — avoiding chart spam during extended trends.
Trails
Each printed label seeds a short-lived “trail” sequence — faded copies extending N bars forward.
Trails visualize the linger effect of the last signal, useful for visually connecting bursts in momentum.
Grey or count = 1 labels can have shorter or longer trails depending on your overrides (*_trail_bars_grey).
They’re purely visual and do not affect alerting.
Alerts
Alerts fire independently of whether you hide labels — unless you enable “respect filters”.
This guarantees you never miss a structural signal even if you suppress visuals for clarity.
🌈 Interpreting Both Together
Scenario Interpretation
✂️ = low (1–2) + 🔪 rising (red/orange) Market just leaving chop, early thrust stage.
✂️ = high (≥ 5) + 🔪 green Fully aligned breakout continuation — trend in progress.
✂️ = yellow cluster + 🔪 yellow Volatility squeeze, energy buildup — next expansion near.
✂️ = green cluster → 🔪 turns red Cross-state conflict; likely transition or correction.
✂️ = grey + 🔪 grey Reset condition — both engines cooling; stand aside.
💡 Hidden edge:
Scissors signal potential, Knife measures kinetic force.
The perfect storm is when ✂️ goes from yellow→green one bar before 🔪 shifts from orange→green — it catches the birth of directional flow while volatility is still tight.
🧭 Reading the labels intuitively
Grey ✂️/🔪 = 1 → embryonic state, may fizzle or bloom.
✂️/🔪 = 2 or 3 → expansion taking hold.
✂️/🔪 ≥ 4 (mid black) → strong synchronized drive across TFs.
Transparent gap → cluster reset; prepare for new phase.
Trail lines → echo of previous cluster strength.
Final secret tip 🗝
Because both engines are mathematically uncorrelated (volatility vs EMA angle), when they agree in color polarity on multiple TFs, you have one of the cleanest probabilistic trend windows possible.
If you ever see ✂️ = 6 + 🔪 = 6 both pointing the same way — that’s a “knife-through-the-scissors” moment: volatility expansion and directional slope synchronized — those are the bars where institutional algorithms tend to add size.
