Volume Candle Color (Continuous)Volume-Based Candle Color Indicator (Continuous Gradient)
Overview
Transform your charts with this advanced volume visualization tool that colors candles based on relative volume intensity using a smooth, continuous gradient . Unlike traditional step-based volume indicators, this script provides nuanced color transitions that make volume anomalies instantly visible.
Key Features
Continuous Color Gradient
Smooth transitions - No more discrete color steps
High volume = Bright, opaque colors that demand attention
Low volume = Faded, transparent colors that blend into background
Real-time adaptation to market conditions
Full Customization Control
Volume Range Settings: Define min/max volume ratios for optimal sensitivity
Transparency Control: Adjust brightness levels from 0-95%
Custom Colors: Choose your preferred bullish/bearish base colors

How It Works
The indicator calculates relative volume by comparing current volume to a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume over your chosen period. This ratio is then mapped to a continuous color scale:
Volume Ratio > 2.0: Maximum intensity (brightest colors)
Volume Ratio 1.0: Average volume (medium intensity)
Volume Ratio < 0.5: Below average (most transparent)
Bullish Candles (Close > Open): Green gradient
Bearish Candles (Close < Open): Red gradient

Tight Range Display with Background🌟 Tight Range Transparency Display with Background
What Is This Indicator?
Hey traders! Ever wanted a simple way to spot those quiet, low-volatility moments in the market that often signal a big move is coming? The Tight Range Transparency Display with Background does exactly that! This indicator highlights periods where the price is moving in a tight range—think of it as the calm before the storm. It paints the chart background blue to show these zones, with the shade getting darker the tighter the range becomes. It’s like having a visual cue to say, “Hey, something might be brewing here!”
Why You’ll Love It
Spot Key Moments Easily: The blue background makes it super easy to see when the market is in a tight range, which often happens before breakouts or big trends.
Customizable Settings: You can tweak the range thresholds to match your trading style—whether you’re looking for super tight zones or slightly broader ones.
Visual Clarity: The background gets darker when the range is tighter, giving you a quick sense of how compressed the price action is.
Perfect for Any Market: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, or any chart you trade, across any timeframe.
How to Use It
Add It to Your Chart:
Just copy this script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and hit "Add to Chart." It’ll overlay right on your price chart.
Tweak the Settings:
Open the indicator settings and use the dropdown menus to pick your preferred "Tight Range %" and "Wide Range %." For example, set a Tight Range % of 2.0% to catch smaller ranges, or go higher like 10.0% for broader ones.
You can also adjust the ATR Period (default is 5) to make the indicator more or less sensitive to recent price swings.
Watch for the Blue Background:
When the price enters a tight range, the chart background turns blue. The darker the blue, the tighter the range—meaning a potential breakout could be closer!
Trade Smarter:
Use these tight range zones to prepare for potential breakouts. For example, if you see a dark blue background, it might be a good time to watch for a big price move.
Pair this with other tools like support/resistance levels or volume spikes to confirm your trades.
Who Is This For?
Swing Traders: Perfect for spotting consolidation zones before a big swing.
Breakout Traders: Tight ranges often lead to breakouts—use this to time your entries.
Smart Money Followers: If you’re into smart money concepts, tight ranges can signal accumulation or distribution phases.
Beginners & Pros Alike: It’s easy to use for new traders but powerful enough for seasoned pros.
Real-World Example
Imagine you’re trading a stock on a 1-hour chart. You notice the background turns blue, and it’s getting darker over a few bars. This tells you the price range is tightening—maybe the stock is consolidating after a big move. You check your other indicators, see a volume spike, and spot a breakout above resistance. Boom! You catch the next big trend, all because this indicator helped you focus on the right moment.
Tips for Best Results
Try Different Timeframes: Tight ranges on a 15-minute chart might signal short-term moves, while a daily chart could highlight bigger trends.
Adjust for Your Market: For volatile markets like crypto, you might want a higher Tight Range % (e.g., 10.0%). For calmer markets like forex, try a lower setting (e.g., 2.0%).
Combine with Other Tools: Use this alongside trendlines, moving averages, or volume indicators to confirm your setups.
Why I Made This
I created this indicator because I wanted a simple, visual way to spot those critical low-volatility zones without cluttering my chart. The dynamic background color makes it intuitive to see when the market is “coiling up” for a potential move. I hope it helps you find better trading opportunities just like it does for me!

1. Introduction
The Swing-Failure-Pattern (SFP) – Confirmed Short indicator spots and tracks bearish SFPs on any market and timeframe, with defaults tuned for Daily charts.
A bearish SFP occurs when price sweeps a prior swing high (liquidity grab) and then decisively rejects lower , signalling a possible trend reversal or sharp pullback.
This script automatically:
Identifies the liquidity sweep & rejection (‐"SFP-SHORT" label)
Confirms directional intent via a structure-breaking close below the setup low
Paints a preferred sell-on-retest zone and tracks its validity
Identifies optimal entry opportunities when price retests the zone
Generates optional retest and entry alerts when trading conditions appear
Self-cleans after a configurable number of bars – keeping your chart tidy
Default Timeframe : Daily
Default Market : Crypto / FX majors
Works On : All symbols + timeframes – simply adjust parameters.
2. Core Concept – What Is an SFP?
Sweep (Liquidity Grab) – Price trades above a meaningful swing high, triggering stops & inducing breakout buyers.
Rejection – The same bar (or the next) closes back below the swept high, invalidating the breakout.
Structure Break – Bears confirm intent by closing below the "setup low" (the most recent pivot low before the sweep).
Retest – Price retraces to the sweep zone. Traders seek entries inside the upper half of that zone with invalidation just above the swing high.
The indicator encodes these four steps so you can spot high-quality bearish reversals without manual bar-by-bar analysis.
3. How the Indicator Works
Phase: Sweep & Rejection
Script Logic: high > lastSwingHigh and close < lastSwingHigh
Visual Cue: Red SFP-SHORT label above candle
Phase: Structure Break
Script Logic: Close < setupLow while pattern locked
Visual Cue: Zone (red line-box) plotted; SFP-SHORT label stays
Phase: Retest Tracking
Script Logic: Zone stays active for retestExpiry bars or until tapped
Visual Cue: Orange SFP-RETEST label when hit
Phase: Entry Signal
Script Logic: Price rejection within retest zone
Visual Cue: Green ENTRY label at optimal entry point
Phase: Expiry / Cleanup
Script Logic: Zone deleted after expiry
Visual Cue: Labels fade but remain visible for reference
All calculations reset after each completed/expired pattern ensuring fresh, uncluttered signals.
4. Visual Elements & Their Meaning
SFP-SHORT (red) – Bar that swept a prior high and closed below it.
Red Box / Line – Preferred sell zone between the swing high (upper bound) and dynamic lower bound (see sizing methods). Extends right until filled/expired.
SFP-RETEST (orange) – Bar that first tags the zone after confirmation.
ENTRY (green) – Appears when a high-probability entry signal occurs within the retest zone.
EXPIRED (gray) – Appears when the retest zone expires without being hit.
Visual Persistence – Labels fade but remain visible after expiry for reference and historical analysis.
5. Input Parameters Explained
Pivot Detection
Pivot left / right : Bars left/right of the pivot that must stay below/above it. Tip : Symmetrical values (3/3) work best for clean structure.
Retest Management
Retest expiry (bars) : Lifespan of a retest zone before it is considered stale. Default: 14 bars on Daily . Tip : Shorten for intraday, lengthen for swing trading.
Retest Zone Sizing
Sizing method : Select Static %, ATR-based or Hybrid logic for the lower boundary. Tip : Hybrid balances tight stops with realistic fills.
Static % : Fixed fraction of sweep range when Static/Hybrid is selected. Tip : Higher % deepens zone & widens stop.
ATR period : Look-back length for ATR when volatility sizing is used. Tip : Increase to smooth choppy markets.
ATR multiplier : Multiplier applied to ATR in ATR-based/Hybrid mode. Tip : Higher value widens zone during volatility.
Visual – Retest Zone
Show retest zone box : Toggles drawing of the semi-transparent sell zone box. Tip : Disable for ultra-clean look.
Retest box color : Fill colour of the box (alpha = transparency). Tip : Match your chart theme.
Max retest boxes : How many historical boxes remain visible (0 = unlimited). Tip : Lower to boost performance.
Only show active boxes : Automatically deletes a box once it's hit. Tip : Reduces clutter during back-testing.
Visual – General
Minimal mode : Hides most visuals apart from critical labels. Tip : Ideal for screenshots.
Show retest zone line : Draws a vertical line linking upper/lower boundaries. Tip : Acts as a quick depth guide.
Show ENTRY labels : Plots 'ENTRY' on optimal candles. Tip : Turn off for manual confirmation.
Labels
Label size : Overall size of all labels. Tip : tiny / small / normal.
Use simple label style : Switches to pixel text style for labels. Tip : Faster rendering on low-spec machines.
Advanced
minPct / maxPct (hard-coded) : Internal floor/cap for Hybrid logic. Tip : Exposed in code for power-users only.
Zone-Sizing Methods
Static – Lower bound = sweepRange × staticPct.
ATR-based – Lower bound = ATR × multiplier, normalised to the sweepRange.
Hybrid – Uses the greater of Static and ATR-based (capped by an internal safety ceiling).
6. Step-by-Step Trading Playbook
Identify Context – Prefer setups against extended moves into obvious highs (e.g., daily swing highs, prior week high, round numbers).
Wait for SFP Confirmation – The indicator will label an SFP-SHORT only after the candle closes. Do not front-run.
Structure-Break Close – A close below setupLow turns the zone live. This is your go signal – prepare sell orders.
Place Orders in the Zone
Entry : Limit order anywhere between retestLower and the swing high.
Stop : 1-2 ticks/pips above the swing high.
Risk Management
Size position so risk per trade ≤ account risk % (common: 0.5-1%).
If no retest before retestExpiry bars → cancel order .
Targets
Conservative: First liquidity pocket / FVG below.
Aggressive: 2-3× risk or next HTF support.
Trail or Partial – Consider trailing stop once 1R is achieved or partial profit at 1R.
7. Example Workflow (Daily BTC-USDT)
BTC trades to a fresh one-month high at $31 050 sweeping prior highs.
Candle closes at $30 420 – below the swept high – SFP-SHORT label appears.
Two days later, candle closes below setupLow at $29 880 – confirmation & zone plotted (upper = $31 050, lower ≈ $30 550).
Five days later price retests the zone hitting $30 750 – SFP-RETEST alert fires, trade filled.
Stop placed @ $31 120 (70$ risk). 1R target = $29 680 reached four days later.
8. Alerts & Automation
SFP Short confirmed
Fires When: Structure-break close below setupLow.
Suggested Action: Prepare/submit sell-limit order in the zone.
SFP Short retest
Fires When: Price enters the retest zone.
Suggested Action: Monitor for entry signals or prepare for manual entry.
SFP Short Entry Signal
Fires When: Optimal entry conditions detected within retest zone.
Suggested Action: Execute short trade with defined risk parameters.
Use TradingView's Webhook URL to forward alerts to a trade-execution bot (e.g., PineConnector) for automated order placement.
9. Tips, Tricks & Best Practices
Combine with HTF Bias – Only take bearish SFPs in bearish weekly trend.
Watch Volume – High volume on the sweep bar adds conviction.
Time Window – SFPs during NY session FX / US session crypto tend to be stronger.
Cluster Zones – Multiple overlapping SFP zones increase probability; treat the cluster as one larger supply.
Avoid News – Skip SFPs forming minutes before high-impact macro news.
10. FAQ
Q: Can I use this on lower timeframes?
A: Yes – reduce retestExpiry (e.g., 15 bars on 15-minute) and test ATR-based sizing.
Q: Does it work for longs?
A: This script focuses on bearish SFPs. Clone & invert conditions for longs.
Q: Why did a zone disappear?
A: Either it expired (retestExpiry) without a retest or the cleanup routine removed old visuals to stay within Pine limits (500 objects per type).
Q: What's the difference between the "SFP-RETEST" and "ENTRY" signals?
A: "SFP-RETEST" indicates price has entered the zone, while "ENTRY" signals an optimal entry opportunity based on price rejection within the zone.
Q: How do I customize the label appearance?
A: Use the "Label size" and "Use simple label style" settings to adjust all labels to your preferred visual style.
Happy trading & trade safe!
11. Advanced Configuration & Asset-Class Playbook
Why does the retest box feel "too high" and how do I actually get filled? Use the quick tweaks below or the power-user code snippet to shape the zone to your personality and instrument.
11.1 Why the default box is shallow
The Static 25 % / ATR-Hybrid logic keeps stops small. Around 50 % of Daily BTC SFPs never look back – that's the cost of tight risk. If you need higher fill-rates, deepen the zone (11.2).
11.2 Three slider moves – no coding required
Retest zone sizing method – switch Static → Hybrid or ATR-based
Static % – raise from 0.25 → 0.45-0.60
ATR multiplier – raise from 1.0 → 1.5-2.0
Each turn pulls the lower edge of the box deeper while keeping the invalidation at the swing high.
11.3 One-liner for coders
To allow >60 % of the sweep range edit the source:
Old code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = 0.60
New code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = input.float(0.60, "Max retest % of sweep", step = 0.05, minval = 0.10, maxval = 0.95)
Then dial the cap up to ~0.80-0.90 from the settings panel.
11.4 If price never comes back…
No-retest partial – take 25-40 % size on the confirmation candle, stop above the high.
Lower-TF confirmation – drop to 4 h / 1 h and hunt an internal SFP or bearish FVG inside the sweep.
ATR trail – if price dumps immediately, trail the stop above each new lower-high.
11.5 Asset-Class Cheat-Sheet
Crypto – Daily : Static %: 0.20-0.35, ATR mult: 1.0, Retest Expiry: 12-20 . Notes : High volatility; sweeps expand fast.
FX Majors – 4 h/D : Static %: 0.25-0.40, ATR mult: 1.2, Retest Expiry: 15-25 . Notes : ATR handles session compression.
Index Futures – 1 h : Static %: 0.30-0.50, ATR mult: 1.5, Retest Expiry: 10-20 . Notes : Hybrid recommended; gaps tighten sweeps.
US Equities – 30 m : Static %: 0.35-0.55, ATR mult: 1.5-2.0, Retest Expiry: 10-14 . Notes : Consider no-retest entry on earnings spikes.

AxisAxis Indicator: Dynamic Trend Lines & Support/Resistance with Trading Mode Presets
Overview
The Axis indicator is a powerful, all-in-one tool for traders, designed to identify key trend lines and support/resistance (S&R) levels across various trading strategies. With 11 predefined trading modes—Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, Long-Term, Position Trading, Breakout Trading, Mean Reversion, Trend Following, Range Trading, Volatility Trading, and Counter-Trend Trading—Axis adapts to your trading style by automatically adjusting parameters like volume Moving Average (MA) periods, fractal lookbacks, and alert proximity. Built-in timeframe validation ensures you’re using the optimal chart timeframe for your selected mode, with a warning label displayed if the timeframe is unsuitable. Whether you’re a scalper chasing quick moves or a position trader eyeing long-term trends, Axis provides precise, volume-filtered signals to enhance your trading decisions.
How It Works
Axis plots two sets of trend lines (A and B) and two sets of S&R levels (A and B) on your chart, each tailored to the selected trading mode:
Trend Lines (A & B): Identifies uptrend and downtrend lines using pivot highs/lows with mode-specific lookback periods. Lines are drawn only when volume exceeds the mode’s volume MA, ensuring high-probability signals.
Support/Resistance (A & B): Plots horizontal S&R levels based on pivot highs/lows, filtered by volume to highlight significant price levels.
Volume MA: Uses a mode-specific MA type (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, or VWMA) to validate pivots. MA periods are scaled by timeframe (e.g., 1m, 1h, Daily) and capped at 5,000 candles to prevent errors.
Timeframe Validation: Checks if the chart’s timeframe matches the mode’s recommended range (e.g., 5m–1h for Volatility Trading). If not, a yellow warning label appears (e.g., “Timeframe may not suit Scalping”).
Alerts: Triggers alerts for new trend lines, S&R levels, and price crosses, allowing real-time trade monitoring.
Trading Modes & Recommended Timeframes
Each mode is preconfigured with optimized settings for specific strategies and timeframes:
Scalping (1m–15m): Fast signals with short lookbacks (1–3 bars) and tight alerts (0.2%) for intraday scalps.
Day Trading (15m–1h): Intraday focus with moderate lookbacks (2–4 bars) and 0.3% alert proximity.
Swing Trading (1h–4h): Multi-day/week trades with balanced settings (2–5 bars, 0.5% alerts).
Long-Term (Daily–Weekly): Major trends with longer lookbacks (3–7 bars, 1.0% alerts).
Position Trading (Weekly–Monthly): Long-term moves with robust settings (4–20 bars, 1.5% alerts).
Breakout Trading (30m–4h): Detects breakouts with sensitive settings (1–4 bars, 0.25% alerts).
Mean Reversion (1h–Daily): Targets reversals with moderate settings (3–8 bars, 0.7% alerts).
Trend Following (4h–Weekly): Captures trends with longer lookbacks (4–18 bars, 1.2% alerts).
Range Trading (1h–4h): Optimized for consolidation with balanced settings (2–6 bars, 0.4% alerts).
Volatility Trading (5m–1h): High-volatility markets with ultra-sensitive settings (1–2 bars, 0.15% alerts).
Counter-Trend Trading (4h–Daily): Contrarian reversals with robust settings (3–9 bars, 0.9% alerts).
Key Features
11 Trading Modes: Preconfigured settings for diverse strategies, eliminating manual tuning.
Dynamic Volume MA: Supports SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, and VWMA, scaled by timeframe for accuracy.
Timeframe Validation: Warns if the chart timeframe doesn’t suit the mode, preventing suboptimal setups.
Customizable Visuals: Adjust line widths and colors for trend lines and S&R levels.
Comprehensive Alerts: Alerts for new trend lines, S&R levels, and price crosses, integrable with TradingView’s alert system.

How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the Axis indicator to your TradingView chart.
Select Trading Mode: Choose a mode from the “Trading Mode” dropdown in the indicator settings (e.g., Volatility Trading for crypto on 5m).
Check Timeframe: Ensure your chart’s timeframe matches the mode’s recommended range (e.g., 5m–1h for Volatility Trading). A yellow warning label appears if the timeframe is unsuitable.
Customize Visuals: Adjust line widths and colors for trend lines (A & B) and S&R (A & B) in the settings.
Set Alerts: Create alerts for new trend lines, S&R levels, or price crosses via TradingView’s alert menu.
Trade Signals:
Trend Lines: Use uptrend/downtrend lines for trend confirmation or breakout setups.
S&R Levels: Trade bounces or breaks at support/resistance, confirmed by volume.
Alerts: Act on price cross alerts for entries/exits based on your strategy.
Tips for Best Results
Match Timeframe to Mode: Stick to recommended timeframes (e.g., 1h–4h for Swing Trading) to maximize signal accuracy. Heed warning labels for timeframe mismatches.
Test Across Assets: Volatility Trading shines in crypto during news events, while Range Trading suits forex/stocks in consolidation.
Backtest Strategies: Convert Axis to a strategy (e.g., enter on S&R cross, exit after X bars) to validate performance.
Optimize for Performance: If lag occurs on low timeframes, reduce the MA cap to 2,500 (edit math.min(..., 2500) in the code).
Combine with Other Tools: Pair Axis with indicators like RSI or MACD for confluence.
Why Choose Axis?
Axis simplifies technical analysis by offering a single indicator that adapts to your trading style.

Enhanced Bar Count IndicatorThe Enhanced Bar Count Indicato r is a versatile tool designed for traders who follow price action methodologies, particularly those inspired by Al Brooks. Built for TradingView and optimized for 5-minute charts during Regular Trading Hours, this indicator combines bar counting with multiple analytical features to help traders identify key market moments, trends, and potential reversal points. While it excels on intraday timeframes, its customizable settings make it adaptable to various trading styles and timeframes.
Key Features
Bar Counting and Diamond Placement
At its core, the indicator numbers each bar starting from the beginning of the trading day, helping traders keep track of bar sequences without manual counting. It highlights specific bars—such as the 7th, 18th, 40th, 48th, 67th, and 73rd bars—with colored diamonds. These bars are significant in Al Brooks’ trading approach for identifying potential reversals or key price action setups:
Bar 7 (Purple Diamond): Occurring around 35 minutes into the session, this bar often marks the end of the initial market open phase, signaling potential opening reversals or the formation of double tops/bottoms.
Bar 18 (Green Diamond): Statistically significant for marking the high or low of the day, making it a critical point for assessing potential trend reversals.
Bar 40 (Red Diamond): Positioned around midday, this bar is often associated with reversal opportunities as the market shifts from morning to afternoon trading.
Bar 48 (Purple Diamond): Around 11:50 AM EST, this bar signals the start of the afternoon swing setup, offering opportunities for midday swing trades.
Bar 67 (Purple Diamond): Appearing in the last hour (around 2:35 PM EST), this bar is key for late-day swing setups, often used for end-of-day strategies like buy-the-close or sell-the-close.
Bar 73 (Purple Diamond): Tied to a 12:30 PM PDT (3:30 PM EST) setup, this bar is significant for US market traders as a late-session decision point for trend continuation or reversal.
This feature allows traders to spot these critical bars at a glance, aligning with Al Brooks’ methodology for intraday trading.
Customizable 10-Period EMA for Scalping
A customizable 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is included to help scalpers quickly assess short-term trends. By default, it’s set to 10 periods, but users can adjust both the period and color to suit their strategy. When the price is above the EMA, it suggests an uptrend; below it, a downtrend. Scalpers can use pullbacks to the EMA as potential entry points in the direction of the trend. While optimized for 2-minute charts, it also provides valuable context on 5-minute charts for intraday traders.
Multi-Timeframe 20-Period EMAs
To provide a broader trend perspective, the indicator plots 20-period EMAs from three different timeframes—5-minute, 15-minute, and 60-minute—directly on the chart. This allows traders to see how the trend aligns across multiple timeframes, which is crucial for confirming the strength and direction of a move. Each EMA is toggleable and color-coded:
Green for 5m
Orange for 15m
Red for 60m
For instance, if all three EMAs are sloping upwards, it reinforces a strong uptrend, increasing the probability of successful trades in that direction.
Inside/Outside Bar Detection
The indicator automatically detects and marks inside bars with an 'i' and outside bars with an 'O' above the respective bars. Inside bars (where the high is lower than the previous high and the low is higher than the previous low) often signal consolidation and potential breakouts. Outside bars (where the high is higher and the low is lower than the previous bar) indicate increased volatility and possible trend reversals or continuations. These markers help traders quickly spot these patterns, which are essential for timing entries and exits in both range-bound and trending markets.
50% Pullback Retracement
Dynamic support and resistance levels are provided through the 50% retracement (midpoint) of the current and previous day’s price ranges. These levels are plotted as horizontal lines:
A solid line for the current day’s midpoint.
A dashed line for the previous day’s midpoint.
The lines are color-coded—green if below the current price and red if above—helping traders visualize potential reversal or continuation zones. This feature aligns with Fibonacci retracement principles and is particularly useful for intraday traders looking to identify areas where price might stall or reverse.
Customization and Usage
All features in the indicator are toggleable, allowing traders to enable or disable them based on their preferences. The settings are organized into groups—such as 'Bar Counting,' '10 EMA Scalp,' and 'Multi-Timeframe EMAs'—for easy navigation. This flexibility ensures that the indicator can be tailored to various trading styles, from scalping to swing trading. Traders can experiment with different combinations of features to find what works best for their strategy.
The Enhanced Bar Count Indicator is a comprehensive tool that brings together bar counting, trend analysis, pattern recognition, and dynamic support/resistance levels. Inspired by Al Brooks’ price action methodology, it offers traders a multifaceted approach to analyzing the markets. With its customizable and toggleable features, it adapts to different trading styles and timeframes, making it a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. Best of all, it’s available for free to the TradingView community—feel free to explore, customize, and integrate it into your trading strategy.
Value Scanner | QuantEdgeB📡 Value Scanner | QuantEdgeB
🔍 What is the Value Scanner?
The Value Scanner by QuantEdgeB is a volatility-adaptive valuation framework that dynamically evaluates where price sits relative to a custom “Fair Value” zone. It combines your choice of moving average engine (SMA, WMA, VIDYA, etc.) with multi-layered standard deviation or ATR-based bands to highlight extreme conditions, reversal zones, and statistical overextensions in real time.
💡 Think of Value Scanner as a radar grid, continuously scanning market terrain and painting a full spectrum from balance to extreme disequilibrium.
⚙️ Core Components
✅ Customizable Moving Average Core
At the heart of the scanner lies a flexible moving average engine:
• Choose from 12+ advanced types: 𝓦𝓜𝓐, 𝓥𝓦𝓜𝓐, 𝓥𝓘𝓓𝓨𝓐, 𝓢𝓜𝓜𝓐, 𝓐𝓛𝓜𝓐, 𝓛𝓢𝓜𝓐, and more.
• Fair Value is derived from this base and acts as the center of the statistical zones.
✅ Volatility-Driven Band Construction
Two volatility methods power the adaptive zones:
• Average True Range (ATR): Ideal for reactive, price-based spreads.
• Standard Deviation (SD): Better for modeling reversion and deviation symmetry.
The scanner builds up to ±5σ zones, dynamically updating in real time.
🎯 Signal and Zone Identification
🧭 Deviation Labels
The system assigns a statistical label at every candle:
• From +0.5σ to +5σ for increasing levels of overextension upward.
• From -0.5σ to -5σ for oversold and undervalued conditions.
🌐 Market Stage Detection
Each deviation zone is translated into an intuitive market phrase such as:
• “𝓔𝔁𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓵𝔂 𝓞𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓽”
• “𝓜𝓲𝓭 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓾𝓮 / 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓭”
• “𝓜𝓪𝔁𝓲𝓶𝓾𝓶 𝓔𝔁𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”
These phrases help you intuitively gauge risk, reward, and imbalance without needing to study a chart for long.
🔺 Signal Mechanics
📌 Reversal Signals (Optional)
• Automatic buy signals when price crosses above key lower deviation levels.
• Sell signals when price crosses below upper deviation bands.
• Ideal for mean-reversion setups or high-probability reversal plays.
🖼️ Visual Overlay Engine
• Beautifully shaded volatility bands with decreasing opacity as they move away from fair value.
• Background coloring highlights extreme price zones for fast visual alerts.
• Built-in "table display" summarizing the current base, volatility method, direction, fair value, and deviation stage.
📊 Table Overlay Features
The live diagnostic table (position adjustable) displays:
• 📈 Current Base MA Type
• 🌡️ Volatility Method in use (ATR or SD)
• 🧭 Trend direction (rising/falling/neutral)
• 🧮 Current Deviation Label (+2σ, -3σ, etc.)
• 🚦 Interpretive Stage Phrase ("Strongly Overbought", etc.)
• 📍 Real-Time Fair Value
• 🚨 Upper & Lower Extremes

Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0
Overview
Price action hinges on consolidation, the foundation of market moves. The "Power Block Consolidation with Volume @MaxMaserati 2.0" (MMPB) indicator uses a proprietary, ingenious system to identify high-probability consolidation zones—termed "power blocks"—where smart money drives accumulation or distribution. By leveraging a unique limitorphe closing candle system, to plots volume to signal price direction: significant volume at the high price indicates bullish continuation, while volume at the low price suggests bearish momentum. This tool empowers traders to exploit bullish and bearish trends with precision.
Key Features
Consolidation Detection: Pinpoints power blocks using a secret system, marking zones of smart money activity.
Volume Analysis: A proprietary limitrophe closing candle system splits volume into buying (high price) and selling (low price), revealing accumulation (buying pressure) or distribution (selling pressure).
Trend Visualization:
Bullish Trends: Green boxes and lines highlight consolidation zones with high volume at the high price, signaling upward continuation.
Bearish Trends: Red boxes and lines mark zones with high volume at the low price, indicating downward momentum.
NB: The volume matter more than the color of the box.
Example
High volume up at the box vs low volume at the low we expect an up move
Even we had a bearish Body close below the box price reconfirmed the up move
Price make the bullish upside move
Price retest the box and reject it strongly
Breakout and Retest: Captures breakouts from power blocks, with price often retesting the zone before resuming the trend.
Volume Labels: Displays buying (green) and selling (red) volume on lines for clear pressure analysis.
Breakout Alerts: Triggers alerts for bullish ("BuBC") and bearish ("BeBC") breakouts, with optional visual markers (triangles).
Strategy
MMPB is designed to capture smart money behavior in consolidation zones, where markets prepare for significant moves. Key principles:
Volume-Driven Direction: High volume at the high price within a power block signals strong bullish continuation; high volume at the low price indicates bearish potential.
Accumulation/Distribution: Buying volume reflects accumulation, priming bullish trends; selling volume signals distribution, fueling bearish trends.
Breakout and Retest: Price often breaks out from power blocks and retests the zone, offering low-risk entry points.
Consolidation as Precursor: Markets require consolidation to build momentum, making power blocks critical for trend prediction.
Traders can:
Enter on breakouts with strong volume confirmation.
Target retests of power blocks for high-probability setups.
Use volume labels to assess trend strength.
Use Cases
Trend Trading: Ride bullish or bearish trends post-breakout from high-volume power blocks.
Swing Trading: Use power blocks as dynamic support/resistance for entries and exits.
Smart Money Analysis: Identify accumulation (bullish) or distribution (bearish) zones.
Risk Management: Place stops at power block edges during retests.
Conclusion
The MMPB indicator, powered by a proprietary system, transforms consolidation analysis by identifying power blocks where smart money operates. Its limitrophe closing candle system highlights volume-driven trends, enabling traders to capitalize on bullish and bearish moves with confidence. Ideal for trend and swing traders, MMPB shines in markets where consolidation precedes significant trends, offering clear signals for breakouts and retests.

"●" (Filled Circle): Strong squeeze - high probability setup for an impending breakout
Green: Strong squeeze with bullish bias (likely upward breakout)
Red: Strong squeeze with bearish bias (likely downward breakout)
Orange: Strong squeeze with unclear direction
"◯" (Hollow Circle): Moderate squeeze - medium probability setup
Green: With bullish EMA alignment
Red: With bearish EMA alignment
Orange: Without clear directional bias
"-" (Dash): Gray dash indicates no squeeze condition (normal volatility)
The script identifies squeeze conditions through multiple methods:
Bollinger Bands contracting inside Keltner Channels
BB width falling to bottom 20% of recent range (BB width percentile)
Very narrow Keltner Channel (less than 5% of basis price)
Tracking squeeze duration in consecutive bars
Different squeeze strengths are detected:
Strong Squeeze: BB inside KC with tight BB width and narrow KC
Moderate Squeeze: BB inside KC with either tight BB width or narrow KC
No Squeeze: Normal market conditions
4. Breakout Detection System

After-hours: 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Closed: Outside trading hours
This detection works on any timeframe through careful calculation of current time in seconds.
Buy/Sell Volume Direction
The script analyzes buying and selling pressure by:
Counting up volume when close > open
Counting down volume when close < open
Tracking accumulated volume within the day
Calculating intraday pressure (up volume minus down volume)
Enhanced AVOL Calculation
The improved AVOL calculation works in all timeframes by:
Estimating typical pre-market and after-hours volume percentages
Combining yesterday's after-hours with today's pre-market volume
Calculating this as a percentage of the 21-day average volume
Determining buying/selling pressure by analyzing after-hours and pre-market price changes
Color-coding results: green for buying pressure, red for selling pressure
This calculation is particularly valuable because it works consistently across any timeframe.

Practical Trading Applications
Complete Trading Strategies
1. Squeeze Breakout Strategy
This strategy combines multiple components of the indicator:
Wait for a strong squeeze (SQZ showing ●)
Look for pre-breakout confirmation (PBK showing ● in green or red)
Enter when breakout is confirmed (BK showing ● in same direction)
Use VTR to confirm volume supports the move (VTR ≥ 65 for bullish or ≤ 35 for bearish)
Set profit targets based on ADR (Average Daily Range)
Exit when VTR begins to weaken or changes direction
2. Volume Divergence Strategy
This strategy focuses on the volume trend relative to price:
Identify when price makes a new high but VTR fails to confirm (divergence)
Look for VTR to show weakening trend (● changing to ◯ or ·)
Prepare for potential reversal when SQZ begins to form
Enter counter-trend position when PBK confirms reversal direction
Use external indicators (QQQ, BTC, Breadth) to confirm broader market support
3. Pre-Market Edge Strategy
This strategy leverages pre-market data:
Monitor AVOL for unusual pre-market activity (significantly above 100%)
Check pre-market price change direction (PCHG%)
Enter position at market open if VTR confirms direction
Use SQZ to determine if volatility is likely to expand
Exit based on RVOL declining or price reaching +/- ADR for the day
Market Context Integration
The indicator provides valuable context for trading decisions:
QQQ change shows tech market direction
BTC price shows crypto market correlation
UVIX change indicates volatility expectations
Breadth measurement shows market internals
This context helps traders avoid fighting the broader market and align trades with overall market direction.
Timeframe Optimization
The indicator is designed to work across different timeframes:
For day trading: Focus on AVOL, VTR, PBK/BK, and use shorter momentum periods
For swing trading: Focus on SQZ duration, VTR strength, and broader market indicators
For position trading: Focus on larger VTR trends and use EMA alignment weight
Advanced Analytical Components
Enhanced Volume Trend Score Calculation
The VTR score calculation is sophisticated, with the base score starting at 50 and adjusting for:
Price direction (up/down)
Volume relative to average (high/normal/low)
Volume acceleration/deceleration
Market conditions (bull/bear)
Additional factors are then applied, including:
MACD influence weighted by strength and direction
Volume change rate influence (speed)
Price/volume divergence effects
EMA alignment scores
Volatility adjustments
Breakout strength factors
Price action confirmations
The final score is clamped between 0-100, with values above 50 indicating bullish conditions and below 50 indicating bearish conditions.
Anti-False Signal Filters
The indicator employs multiple techniques to reduce false signals:
Requiring significant price range (minimum percentage movement)
Demanding strong volume confirmation (significantly above average)
Checking for consistent direction across multiple indicators
Requiring prior bar consistency (consecutive bars moving in same direction)
Counting consecutive signals to filter out noise
These filters help eliminate noise and focus on high-probability setups.
MACD Enhancement and Integration
The indicator enhances standard MACD analysis:
Calculating MACD relative strength compared to recent history
Normalizing MACD slope relative to volatility
Detecting MACD acceleration for stronger signals
Integrating MACD crossovers with other confirmation factors
EMA Analysis System
The indicator uses a comprehensive EMA analysis system:
Calculating multiple EMAs (5, 10, 21 periods)
Detecting golden cross (10 EMA crosses above 21 EMA)
Detecting death cross (10 EMA crosses below 21 EMA)
Assessing price position relative to EMAs
Measuring EMA separation percentage
Recent Enhancements and Evolution
Version 5.2 includes several improvements:
Enhanced AVOL to show buying/selling direction through color coding
Improved VTR with adaptive analysis based on market conditions

This sequence often occurs in order, with the squeeze leading to pre-breakout conditions, followed by an actual breakout.
VTR (Volume Trend): Provides context about the volume supporting these movements.
Color Coding: Green for bullish conditions, red for bearish conditions, and orange/gray for neutral or undefined conditions.
Position Size Calculator (Fixed % or ATR-based Stop Support)Position Size Calculator (Fixed % or ATR-based Stop Support)
Purpose and Background
This indicator allows traders to calculate appropriate position sizes directly on the chart, based on a key rule:
“What percentage of your capital are you willing to risk per trade?”
While many traders focus on entries and indicators, position sizing and risk allocation are often overlooked.
This tool visualizes and simplifies the “1% risk rule” promoted by IBD (Investor’s Business Daily) and William J. O’Neil, helping both beginners and experienced traders maintain disciplined capital management.
Key Features
Automatically calculates and displays:
・ Position Size
The number of units (shares, contracts, coins) you can hold based on your stop-loss range and risk allowance.
・ Stop Price
The price level at which your stop-loss would be triggered.
・ Risk Amount
The maximum loss per trade based on your portfolio size and risk percentage.
Two stop-loss modes available:
・ Fixed % Mode
O’Neil suggests using up to 8% stop-loss in uptrends and keeping it tighter (around 4%) in corrections. This mode allows flexible manual settings.
・ ATR-Based Mode
Uses the asset’s average volatility to dynamically calculate stop-loss width using the Average True Range (ATR).
ATR Usage and Recommended Settings
ATR helps you avoid noise-based stop-outs and align your risk with market volatility.
There are two parameters you can adjust:
・ ATR Length
Defines how many bars are used to calculate the average range.
・Shorter values (5–10) respond faster for day trades
・Longer values (14–21) offer smoother ranges for swing/position trades(Default is 14)
・ATR Multiplier
Sets how wide the stop-loss is by multiplying the ATR value:
・Day trading: 1.0–1.5×
・Swing trading: 1.5–2.5×
・Position trading: 2.0–3.0×
Practical Examples: Risk % × Stop-Loss % → Max Positions
This tool helps estimate how many positions you can hold in a portfolio based on your risk per trade and stop width.
Examples:
・Risk 0.5%, Stop 8% → Max 16 positions
・Risk 0.5%, Stop 4% → Max 8 positions
・Risk 1.0%, Stop 8% → Max 8 positions
・Risk 1.0%, Stop 4% → Max 4 positions
・Risk 2.0%, Stop 8% → Max 4 positions
・Risk 2.0%, Stop 4% → Max 2 positions
These assume worst-case scenarios where all positions are stopped out simultaneously within your overall portfolio risk limit.
Display & Customization Options
・ Currency Display: USD or JPY
No currency conversion is applied. Select based on your trading region (e.g., USD for U.S. stocks, JPY for Japanese stocks).
Support for additional currencies can be added upon request.
・ Show/Hide Decimal Places
Toggle decimals for better visibility. Ideal for fractional assets like crypto and CFDs.
・ Position of Output
Choose from top-right, middle-right, or bottom-right on the chart.
・ Text Display Size: Large / Normal / Small
Choose the table size that best suits your viewing preferences.
・ Explanation of Displayed Labels
・ Position Size : Units to buy/sell based on risk
・ Stop Price : Price where stop-loss is triggered
・ Risk Amount : Max loss allowed for the trade
How to Use
１、Set your Portfolio Size
２、Choose your Currency (USD or JPY)
３、Input Risk per Trade (%) (e.g., 1%)
４、Select Stop Loss Method
・ Fixed % : Enter a manual stop-loss percent (e.g., 8%)
・ ATR : Then also enter:
・ ATR Length : Number of bars used to calculate ATR (e.g., 14)
・ ATR Multiplier : Factor applied to ATR to determine stop-loss (e.g., 2.0)
５、Adjust decimals, label position, or text size as needed
６、The result is displayed in a table directly on your chart
Notes
・ Uses the current close price (close) as the basis
Real-time bid/ask data isn't available in Pine Script, so the close price is used for consistent results.
・ No buy/sell signals are generated
This tool is for position sizing and risk calculation only, not trade entries.
Recommended For
・Traders who want precise, rule-based position sizing
・Users following IBD or O’Neil’s 1% risk principle
・Those incorporating ATR for stop-loss strategies
・Multi-asset traders (stocks, crypto, CFDs, etc.)
・ Anyone who wants to calculate position size and risk without using a calculator or external tool—fully inside TradingView

Real-Time Calculations: The indicator automatically computes:
• R/R ratio for each target
• Profit in USD for each partial close
• Margin used per target (in % and USD)
Visualize Your Trade:
• Price levels for entry, stop-loss, and take-profits are plotted on the chart.
• A dynamic info panel on the left side displays all key metrics.
🔄 Dynamic Adjustments: As each take-profit target is hit and a portion of the position is closed, the indicator recalculates the remaining position size, expected profit, R/R, and margin for subsequent targets. This ensures accuracy and reflects real-world trade behavior.
📊 Table Overview
The left-side panel provides a clear snapshot:
• Trade Setup: Capital, entry price, stop-loss, risk amount, and position size
• Per Target: Percentage closed, R/R, profit in USD, and margin used

Big Whale Finder PROBig Whale Finder PRO
The Big Whale Finder PRO is an advanced technical indicator designed to detect and analyze the footprints of institutional traders (commonly referred to as "whales") in financial markets. Based on multiple proprietary detection algorithms, this indicator identifies distinct patterns of accumulation and distribution that typically occur when large market participants execute significant orders.
Theoretical Framework
The indicator builds upon established market microstructure theories and empirical research on institutional trading behavior. As Kyle (1985) demonstrated in his seminal work on market microstructure, informed traders with large positions tend to execute their orders strategically to minimize market impact. This often results in specific volume and price action patterns that the Big Whale Finder PRO is designed to detect.
Key Feature Enhancements
1. Volume Analysis Refinement
The indicator implements a dual-threshold approach to volume analysis based on research by Easley et al. (2012) on volume-based informed trading metrics. The normal threshold identifies routine institutional activity, while the extreme threshold flags exceptional events that often precede significant market moves.
2. Wickbody Ratio Analysis
Drawing from Cao et al. (2021) research on price formation and order flow imbalance, the indicator incorporates wick-to-body ratio analysis to detect potential order absorption and iceberg orders. High wick-to-body ratios often indicate hidden liquidity and resistance/support levels maintained by large players.
3. BWF-Index (Proprietary Metric)
The BWF-Index is a novel quantitative measure that combines volume anomalies, price stagnation, and candle morphology into a single metric. This approach draws from Harris's (2003) work on trading and exchanges, which suggests that institutional activity often manifests through multiple simultaneous market microstructure anomalies.
4. Zone Tracking System
Based on Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution methodology and modern zone detection algorithms, the indicator establishes and tracks zones where institutional activity has occurred. This feature enables traders to identify potential support/resistance areas where large players have previously shown interest.
5. Trend Integration
Following Lo and MacKinlay's (1988) work on market efficiency and technical analysis, the indicator incorporates trend analysis through dual EMA comparison, providing context for volume and price patterns.
Labels and Signals Explanation
The indicator uses a system of labels to mark significant events on the chart:
🐋 (Whale Symbol): Indicates extreme volume activity that significantly exceeds normal market participation. This is often a sign of major institutional involvement and frequently precedes significant price moves. The presence of this label suggests heightened attention is warranted as a potential trend reversal or acceleration may be imminent.
A (Accumulation): Marks periods where large players are likely accumulating positions. This is characterized by high volume, minimal price movement upward, and stronger support at the lower end of the candle (larger lower wicks). Accumulation zones often form bases for future upward price movements. This pattern frequently occurs at the end of downtrends or during consolidation phases before uptrends.
D (Distribution): Identifies periods where large players are likely distributing (selling) their positions. This pattern shows high volume, minimal downward price movement, and stronger resistance at the upper end of the candle (larger upper wicks). Distribution zones often form tops before downward price movements. This pattern typically appears at the end of uptrends or during consolidation phases before downtrends.
ICE (Iceberg Order): Flags the potential presence of iceberg orders, where large orders are split into smaller visible portions to hide the true size. These are characterized by unusual wick-to-body ratios with high volume. Iceberg orders often indicate price levels that large institutions consider significant and may act as strong support or resistance areas.
Information Panel Interpretation
The information panel provides real-time analysis of market conditions:
Volume/Average Ratio: Shows how current volume compares to the historical average. Values above the threshold (default 1.5x) indicate abnormal activity that may signal institutional involvement.
BWF-Index: A proprietary metric that quantifies potential whale activity. Higher values (especially >10) indicate stronger likelihood of institutional participation. The BWF-Index combines volume anomalies, price action characteristics, and candle morphology to provide a single measure of potential whale activity.
Status: Displays the current market classification based on detected patterns:
"Major Whale Activity": Extreme volume detected, suggesting significant institutional involvement
"Accumulation": Potential buying activity by large players
"Distribution": Potential selling activity by large players
"High Volume": Above-average volume without clear accumulation/distribution patterns
"Normal": Regular market activity with no significant institutional footprints
Trend: Shows the current market trend based on EMA comparison:
"Uptrend": Fast EMA above Slow EMA, suggesting bullish momentum
"Downtrend": Fast EMA below Slow EMA, suggesting bearish momentum
"Sideways": EMAs very close together, suggesting consolidation
Zone: Indicates if the current price is in a previously identified institutional activity zone:
"In Buy Zone": Price is in an area where accumulation was previously detected
"In Sell Zone": Price is in an area where distribution was previously detected
"Neutral": Price is not in a previously identified institutional zone
Trading Recommendations
Based on the different signals and patterns, the following trading recommendations apply:
Bullish Scenarios
Accumulation (A) + Uptrend: Strong buy signal. Large players are accumulating in an established uptrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering long positions with stops below the accumulation zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Buy Zone + Price Above EMAs: Very bullish. Major whale activity in a previously established buying zone with positive price action.
Strategy: Aggressive buying opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Accumulation + Downtrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of a downtrend.
Strategy: Early position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Bearish Scenarios
Distribution (D) + Downtrend: Strong sell signal. Large players are distributing in an established downtrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering short positions with stops above the distribution zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Sell Zone + Price Below EMAs: Very bearish. Major whale activity in a previously established selling zone with negative price action.
Strategy: Aggressive shorting opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Distribution + Uptrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of an uptrend.
Strategy: Early short position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Neutral/Caution Scenarios
Iceberg Orders (ICE) + Sideways Market: Suggests significant hidden liquidity at current levels.
Strategy: Mark these levels as potential support/resistance for future reference. Consider range-trading strategies.
Conflicting Signals (e.g., Accumulation in Downtrend): Requires careful analysis.
Strategy: Wait for additional confirmation or reduce position sizing.
Multiple Extreme Volume Events (🐋) in Succession: Indicates unusual market conditions, possibly related to news events or major market shifts.
Strategy: Exercise extreme caution and potentially reduce exposure until clarity emerges.

C&B Auto MK5C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear
Overview
The C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish market conditions across various timeframes. It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, bull/bear signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping in trending or volatile markets.
What It Does
This indicator generates bull and bear signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, a 50/200 EMA trend filter, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to market volatility by adjusting EMA lengths and RSI thresholds. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, with candlestick coloring in neutral conditions. Market condition labels (current and historical) provide real-time trend and volatility context, displayed above the chart.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder triggers potential bull/bear signals. EMA lengths adjust based on volatility (e.g., 10/20 for volatile markets, 5/10 for non-volatile).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within volatility-adjusted bull/bear thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: An optional filter restricts bull signals to bullish trends (50 EMA > 200 EMA) and bear signals to bearish trends (50 EMA < 200 EMA).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined UTC time window (default 9:00–15:00), aligning with active trading sessions.
Market Condition Labels: Labels above the chart display the current trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and optionally volatility (e.g., “Bullish Volatile”). Up to two historical labels persist for a user-defined number of bars (default 5) to show recent trend changes.
Visual Aids: Bull signals appear as green triangles/labels below the bar, bear signals as red triangles/labels above. Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.

AlphaTrend++AlphaTrend++
Overview
The AlphaTrend++ is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify buy and sell opportunities in trending and volatile markets. Building on trend-following principles, it uses a modified Average True Range (ATR) calculation combined with volume or momentum data to plot a dynamic trend line. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying a colored trend line, a filled trend zone, buy/sell signals, and optional stop-loss tick labels, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading, particularly in markets like futures (e.g., MES).
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the direction and momentum of a custom trend line, filtered by optional time restrictions and signal frequency logic. The trend line adapts to price action and volatility, with a filled zone highlighting trend strength. Buy/sell signals are plotted as labels, and stop-loss distances are displayed in ticks (customizable for instruments like MES). The indicator supports standard chart types for realistic signal generation.
How It Works
The indicator employs the following components:
Trend Line Calculation: A dynamic trend line is calculated using ATR adjusted by a user-defined multiplier, combined with either Money Flow Index (MFI) or Relative Strength Index (RSI) depending on volume availability. The line tracks price movements, adjusting upward or downward based on trend direction and volatility.
Trend Zone: The area between the current trend line and its value two bars prior is filled, colored green for bullish trends (upward movement) or red for bearish trends (downward movement), providing a visual cue of trend strength.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend line crosses above its value two bars ago, and sell signals occur when it crosses below, with optional filtering to reduce signal noise (based on bar timing logic). Signals can be restricted to a 9:00–15:00 UTC trading window.
Stop-Loss Ticks: For each signal, the indicator calculates the distance to the trend line (acting as a stop-loss level) in ticks, using a user-defined tick size (default 0.25 for MES). These are displayed as labels below/above the signal.
Time Filter: An optional filter limits signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC, aligning with active trading sessions like the US market open.
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to avoid unrealistic results associated with non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier (default 1.0) to control trend line sensitivity. Higher values widen the stop-loss distance.
Common Period: Set the ATR and MFI/RSI period (default 14) for trend calculations.
No Volume Data: Enable if volume data is unavailable (e.g., for certain forex pairs), switching from MFI to RSI.
Tick Size: Set the tick size for stop-loss calculations (default 0.25 for MES futures).
Show Buy/Sell Signals: Toggle signal labels (default enabled).
Show Stop Loss Ticks: Toggle stop-loss tick labels (default enabled).
Use Time Filter: Restrict signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC (default disabled).
Use Filtered Signals: Enable to reduce signal frequency using bar timing logic (default enabled).
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: A blue “BUY” label below the bar indicates a potential long entry (trend line crossover, passing filters).
Sell Signal: A red “SELL” label above the bar indicates a potential short entry (trend line crossunder, passing filters).
Trend Zone: Green fill suggests bullish momentum; red fill suggests bearish momentum.
Stop-Loss Ticks: Gray labels show the stop-loss distance in ticks, helping with risk management.
Monitor Context: Use the trend line and filled zone to confirm the market’s direction before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Adaptive Trend Line: Combines ATR with MFI or RSI to create a responsive trend line that adjusts to volatility and market conditions.
Tick-Based Stop-Loss: Displays stop-loss distances in ticks, customizable for specific instruments, aiding precise risk management.
Signal Filtering: Optional bar timing logic reduces false signals, improving reliability in choppy markets.
Trend Zone Visualization: The filled zone between trend line values enhances trend clarity, making it easier to assess momentum.
Time-Restricted Trading: Optional 9:00–15:00 UTC filter aligns signals with high-liquidity sessions.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume spikes) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in highly volatile or low-liquidity markets due to ATR-based calculations.
The 9:00–15:00 UTC time filter may not suit all markets; disable it for 24-hour assets like forex or crypto.

PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI AnalysisPowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI Analysis
Overview
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 is an advanced TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to identify high-probability trading setups by combining pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend detection, and adaptive AI-driven signal filtering. The script integrates Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) signals with customizable momentum, volume, breakout, and trend filters to enhance trade precision. Additionally, it offers an optional AI Market Analysis module that predicts future price trends across multiple timeframes, providing traders with a comprehensive market outlook.
The script is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor inputs to their trading style, whether for scalping, swing trading, or long-term strategies. It is suitable for all asset classes, including stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities, and performs optimally on timeframes ranging from 1-minute to daily charts.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Signal Generation:
Identifies pivot highs and lows to detect CHoCH (reversal patterns) and BOS (continuation patterns).
Signals are plotted as "Buy" or "Sell" labels with optional "Get Ready" pre-signals to prepare traders for potential setups.
Take-profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated based on user-defined points, with optional TP box visualization.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
Analyzes trends across seven timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D) using EMA and VWAP to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Displays a futuristic AI-Trend Matrix dashboard showing trend direction, strength, and confidence levels for quick decision-making.
Customizable Signal Filters:
Momentum Filter: Ensures signals align with significant price changes, adjusted dynamically using ATR-based volatility.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter: Requires signals to align with the trend of a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 1H).
Lower Timeframe Trend Filter: Prevents signals that conflict with the trend of a user-selected lower timeframe (e.g., 5M).
Volume Filter: Optionally requires above-average volume to confirm signals.
Breakout Filter: Optionally requires price to break previous highs/lows for signal validation.
Repeated Signal Restriction: Prevents consecutive signals in the same trend direction until the trend changes on a user-defined timeframe.
AI-Driven Adaptivity:
Incorporates Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to assess buying/selling pressure and classify market volatility (Low, Medium, High).
Uses ATR to dynamically adjust momentum thresholds, ensuring signals adapt to current market conditions.
Optional AI Market Analysis module predicts trends across multiple timeframes by combining trend, momentum, and volatility scores.
Visual Elements:
Plots CHoCH and BOS levels as horizontal lines with distinct colors (aqua for CHoCH sell, lime for CHoCH buy, fuchsia for BOS sell, teal for BOS buy).
Draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on short and long-term price action, colored by trend strength.
Displays TP levels and pivot highs/lows for easy reference.
How It Works
The script combines several technical analysis concepts to create a robust trading system:
Market Structure Analysis:
Pivot highs and lows are identified using a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length).
CHoCH occurs when price crosses below a pivot high (bearish reversal) or above a pivot low (bullish reversal).
BOS occurs when price breaks a previous pivot low (bearish continuation) or pivot high (bullish continuation).
Trend and Momentum Integration:
Trends are determined by comparing price to EMA and VWAP on multiple timeframes.
Momentum is calculated as the percentage price change, with thresholds adjusted by ATR to account for volatility.
"Get Ready" signals appear when momentum approaches the threshold, preparing traders for potential CHoCH or BOS signals.
Signal Filtering:
Filters ensure signals align with user-defined criteria (e.g., trend direction, volume, breakouts).
The Restrict Repeated Signals option prevents over-signaling by requiring a trend change on a specified timeframe before generating a new signal in the same direction.
AI Market Analysis:
The optional AI module calculates a score for each timeframe based on trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR compared to its SMA).
Scores are translated into predictions (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish, — for neutral), displayed in a dedicated table.
CVD and Volatility Context:
CVD tracks buying vs. selling pressure by accumulating volume based on price direction.
Volatility is classified using CVD magnitude, influencing the script’s visual cues and signal sensitivity.
Why This Combination?
The integration of pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend filtering, and AI-driven adaptivity addresses common trading challenges:
Precision: CHoCH and BOS signals focus on key market turning points, reducing noise from minor price fluctuations.
Context: Multi-timeframe analysis ensures trades align with broader market trends, improving win rates.
Adaptivity: ATR and CVD adjustments make the script responsive to changing market conditions, avoiding static thresholds that fail in volatile or quiet markets.
Customization: Extensive input options allow traders to adapt the script to their preferred markets, timeframes, and risk profiles.

Williams Fractals Dynamic Horizontal LinesWilliams Fractals with Dynamic Horizontal Lines
Overview
This script identifies Williams Fractals (support and resistance points) on any chart and automatically draws horizontal lines at those fractal levels.
The lines extend right and disappear when price breaks them — giving a clean and real-time view of key support and resistance levels.
Features
Detects upward fractals (potential resistances).
Detects downward fractals (potential supports).
Draws horizontal lines at each fractal point.
Automatically deletes a line when:
Price closes above a resistance.
Price closes below a support.
Clean and lightweight — minimal performance impact.
Inputs
Setting Description Default
Periods (n) Number of candles on each side required to confirm a fractal (minimum 2). 2
How It Works
Fractal Detection:
An up fractal is confirmed when a candle has the highest high compared to its neighbors.
A down fractal is confirmed when a candle has the lowest low compared to its neighbors.
Custom logic supports different "ties" — not just strict greater-than or less-than comparisons.
Drawing Lines:
When an up fractal is detected → a red horizontal resistance line is drawn.
When a down fractal is detected → a green horizontal support line is drawn.
Lines are drawn starting at the fractal candle and extend right across the chart.
Dynamic Line Deletion:
Every new candle is checked:
If high > resistance line → delete that resistance line.
If low < support line → delete that support line.
Only unbroken lines are kept on the chart, providing live, updated support/resistance zones.
Visual Elements
Up Fractal: 🡅 Triangular marker (teal color) above the fractal candle.
Down Fractal: 🡇 Triangular marker (red color) below the fractal candle.
Resistance Line: Red horizontal line.
Support Line: Green horizontal line.
Technical Details
Version: Pine Script v6
Arrays Used:
To store and manage active lines (line arrays).
To track the price associated with each line (float arrays).
Error Handling:
Backward iteration is handled using a while loop instead of a for loop to comply with Pine Script restrictions.
Offset Handling:
Fractal markers are plotted with an offset of -n bars for visual alignment.
Possible Enhancements (Future Ideas)
Sensitivity Settings: Allow a small margin (buffer) to define breakouts.
Extend Options: Let users choose between extending "infinite" or "limited" bars.
Custom Alerts: Generate alerts when fractal levels are broken.
Multi-timeframe Support: Detect fractals from higher timeframes on lower timeframe charts.
Example Usage
Swing Trading:
Use the fractal lines to identify and react to key breakouts or breakdowns dynamically.
Intraday Trading:
Spot live support/resistance on smaller timeframes for quick trades.
Trend Reversal Spotting:
Notice when a major fractal level is broken, possibly indicating trend changes.

ICT Swiftedge# ICT SwiftEdge: Advanced Market Structure Trading System
**Overview**
ICT SwiftEdge is a powerful trading system built upon the foundation of ICTProTools' ICT Breakers, licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (mozilla.org). This script has been significantly enhanced by to combine market structure analysis with modern technical indicators and a sleek, AI-inspired statistics dashboard. The goal is to provide traders with a comprehensive tool for identifying high-probability trade setups, managing exits, and tracking performance in a visually intuitive way.
**Credits**
This script is a derivative work based on the original "ICT Breakers" by ICTProTools, used with permission under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Significant enhancements, including RSI-MA signals, trend filtering, dynamic timeframe adjustments, dual exit strategies, and an AI-style statistics dashboard, were developed by . We express our gratitude to ICTProTools for their foundational work in market structure analysis.
**What It Does**
ICT SwiftEdge integrates multiple trading concepts to help traders identify and manage trades based on market structure and momentum:
- **Market Structure Analysis**: Identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) patterns, which signal potential trend continuations or reversals. BOS indicates a continuation of the current trend, while MSS highlights a shift in market direction, providing key entry points.
- **RSI-MA Signals**: Generates "BUY" and "SELL" signals when BOS or MSS patterns align with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) smoothed by a Moving Average (RSI-MA). Signals are filtered to occur only when RSI-MA is above 50 (for buys) or below 50 (for sells), ensuring momentum supports the trade direction.
- **Trend Filtering**: Prevents multiple signals in the same trend, ensuring only one buy or sell signal per trend direction, reducing noise and improving trade clarity.
- **Dynamic Timeframe Adjustment**: Automatically adjusts pivot points, RSI, and MA parameters based on the selected chart timeframe (1M to 1D), optimizing performance across different market conditions.
- **Flexible Exit Strategies**: Offers two user-selectable exit methods:
- **Trailing Stop-Loss (TSL)**: Exits trades when price moves against the position by a user-defined distance (in points), locking in profits or limiting losses.
- **RSI-MA Exit**: Exits trades when RSI-MA crosses the 50 level, signaling a potential loss of momentum.
- Users can enable either or both strategies, providing flexibility to adapt to different trading styles.
- **AI-Style Statistics Dashboard**: Displays real-time trade performance metrics in a futuristic, neon-colored interface, including total trades, wins, losses, win/loss ratio, and win percentage. This helps traders evaluate the system's effectiveness without external tools.
**Why This Combination?**
The integration of these components creates a synergistic trading system:
- **BOS/MSS and RSI-MA**: Combining market structure breaks with RSI-MA ensures entries are based on both price action (structure) and momentum (RSI-MA), increasing the likelihood of high-probability trades.
- **Trend Filtering**: By limiting signals to one per trend, the system avoids overtrading and focuses on significant market moves.
- **Dynamic Adjustments**: Timeframe-specific parameters make the system versatile, suitable for scalping (1M, 5M) or swing trading (4H, 1D).
- **Dual Exit Strategies**: TSL protects profits during trending markets, while RSI-MA exits are ideal for range-bound or reversing markets, catering to diverse market conditions.
- **Statistics Dashboard**: Provides immediate feedback on trade performance, enabling data-driven decision-making without manual tracking.
This combination balances technical precision with user-friendly visuals, making it accessible to both novice and experienced traders.

ENIGMA 369 ENIGMA 369 is a unique Pine Script indicator that combines two complementary trading systems: Break of Structure (BOS) Detection and Session-Based Sniper Signals.
Designed to help traders identify market structure shifts and potential intraday setups, it overlays on the chart to highlight key levels and momentum-driven opportunities. The indicator’s originality lies in its integration of pattern-based BOS analysis (inspired by Smart Money concepts) with time- and trend-filtered Sniper signals, creating a cohesive tool for both swing and intraday trading.
Unlike standalone breakout or scalping indicators, ENIGMA 369 uses:
BOS Logic: A specific two-candle pattern sequence to detect structural shifts, filtered by ATR for significance.
Sniper Logic: Momentum-based signals during high-volatility sessions, optionally aligned with EMA trends.
This synergy allows traders to assess market direction strategically (via BOS) and time entries tactically (via Sniper), all within one indicator.
What It Does
ENIGMA 369 performs two distinct functions:
Break of Structure (BOS) Detection:
Identifies potential support/resistance levels using BullBear (bullish candle followed by bearish) and BearBull (bearish followed by bullish) candle pairs.
Confirms breakouts when price sustains above (bullish) or below (bearish) these levels for a set number of bars.
Draws horizontal lines at confirmed breakout levels, which persist until price crosses a user-defined buffer zone.
Sniper Momentum Signals:
Detects buy/sell setups during user-specified trading sessions (e.g., London/US), based on candle momentum (close relative to midpoint, higher highs/lower lows).
Optionally filters signals with an EMA to align with the broader trend.
Plots lines at the candle’s high/low and 50% wick levels, serving as reference points for entries or stops, removed when price crosses them.
How It Works
ENIGMA 369 relies on price action, market timing, and trend context to generate signals. Here’s how each component operates:
BOS Logic:
Pattern Detection: Scans for two-candle patterns where the first candle is significant (size exceeds an ATR-based threshold) and the second opposes it. For example, a BullBear pair marks the first candle’s high as a potential resistance.
ATR Filter: Uses the Average True Range (default: 14 periods) to ensure the first candle’s range or body is substantial, reducing noise. Users can adjust the ATR multiplier (default: 0.5).
Confirmation: Requires price to close above/below the stored level for a user-defined number of bars (default: 1) to confirm a breakout.
Line Management: Plots green (bullish) or red (bearish) lines at confirmed levels, extending for a set number of bars (default: 10). Lines are deleted if price crosses a buffer (percentage of price or ATR-based, default: 0.1).
Visualization: Optionally highlights pattern candles with transparent green/red backgrounds.
Sniper Logic:
Momentum Signals: Identifies buy signals when a candle closes above its midpoint (high+low)/2 and has a lower low than the prior candle, indicating potential bullish momentum. Sell signals require a close below the midpoint and a higher high.
Session Filter: Limits signals to user-defined London/US session hours (default: 1-23 UTC, adjustable to specific hours like 7-11 UTC for London).
EMA Filter: Optionally uses a 50-period EMA (adjustable) to ensure buy signals occur in uptrends (rising EMA) and sell signals in downtrends (falling EMA).
Line Plotting: Draws blue lines for buy signals (at the low and 50% of the lower wick) and orange lines for sell signals (at the high and 50% of the upper wick). Lines extend right until price crosses them, managed via arrays for efficiency.
Dynamic Removal: Lines are automatically deleted when price breaches them, reflecting changing market conditions.
Why Combine BOS and Sniper?
The integration of BOS and Sniper logic is purposeful and synergistic:
BOS provides a strategic view by identifying structural shifts, helping traders understand the market’s directional bias (e.g., bullish after a confirmed high breakout).
Sniper offers tactical entry points within these trends, focusing on high-volatility sessions where momentum is likely to drive clear moves.
Together, they enable traders to align short-term trades with long-term structure, reducing the risk of trading against the trend. For example, a trader can wait for a bullish BOS confirmation before taking Sniper buy signals, enhancing setup reliability.
This combination is original because it merges Smart Money-inspired BOS detection with a session-based momentum system, a pairing not commonly found in single indicators. It avoids redundant mashups by ensuring each component serves a distinct yet complementary role.
How to Use It
Setup:
Apply ENIGMA 369 to a TradingView chart (Pine Script v5). The chart shown here uses a clean H1 candlestick setup to highlight BOS and Sniper outputs clearly.
Customize settings:
BOS:
ATR Period (default: 14), Min Candle Size (default: 0.5x ATR): Adjust for pattern sensitivity.
Confirmation Bars (default: 1): Set for faster/slower breakouts.
Buffer Type (Percentage/ATR), Buffer Zone Value (default: 0.1): Control line deletion.
Show Lines (default: true), Highlight Candle Pairs (default: false): Enable visuals.
Customize line colors (green/red) and width/length.
Sniper:
London/US Start/End Hours: Set to match your asset’s volatility (e.g., 7-11 UTC for London forex).
EMA Filter (default: true), EMA Period (default: 50): Enable for trend alignment.
Customize line styles (Solid/Dotted/Dashed) and colors (blue/orange) to distinguish from BOS.
Suggested timeframes: H1-H4 for BOS (swing trading), M5-M15 for Sniper (intraday).
Trading with BOS:
Monitor for green (bullish) or red (bearish) lines indicating confirmed breakouts.
Use lines as support/resistance:
Bullish BOS: Consider longs above the line, with stops below the line or buffer.
Bearish BOS: Consider shorts below the line, with stops above the line or buffer.
Line deletion signals a potential reversal or level invalidation.
Trading with Sniper:
Look for blue (buy) or orange (sell) lines during active sessions:
Buy: Enter long at the low or 50% wick line, with stops below the low and targets at resistance.
Sell: Enter short at the high or 50% wick line, with stops above the high and targets at support.
Use EMA filter to avoid counter-trend signals.
Lines disappear when crossed, indicating the setup’s completion or invalidation.
Alerts:
Set alerts for:
“Bullish/Bearish BOS Confirmed” for structural shifts.
“Sniper Buy/Sell Alert” for intraday setups.
Combine with volume, key levels, or news for confirmation.
Best Practices:
Use BOS to confirm trend direction before taking Sniper signals.
Test settings on your asset/timeframe via backtesting.
Apply stop-losses and risk-reward ratios (e.g., 1:2) for discipline.
The chart example shows BOS lines (green/red) and Sniper lines (blue/orange) on an H1 chart, ensuring clarity.
Underlying Concepts
Market Structure (BOS): Identifies turning points where supply/demand shifts, using two-candle patterns to mark significant levels, similar to order block concepts.
Momentum and Timing (Sniper): Targets entries during high-liquidity sessions, using candle midpoint and wick analysis to capture momentum-driven moves.
Trend Context: EMA ensures signals align with the market’s direction, reducing false positives.
Price Action: Both systems rely on raw price behavior, avoiding lagging oscillators for timely signals.
Limitations
BOS may lag in fast markets; reduce confirmation bars for scalping.
Sniper signals depend on session settings; ensure alignment with your asset’s volatility.
Multiple lines may clutter charts; adjust colors/styles for clarity.
Not a standalone system; combine with other analysis for best results.
Disclaimer
ENIGMA 369 is a tool to identify potential trading setups, not a guaranteed profit system. Past performance does not predict future results. Backtest thoroughly and use with proper risk management.
Conclusion
ENIGMA 369 offers a structured approach to trading by combining BOS’s structural insights with Sniper’s precise, session-based entries. Its unique integration makes it suitable for traders seeking to align strategic and tactical decisions. Customize it to your style, test it rigorously, and use it to enhance your market analysis.

Real-Time Extension Detection : M.A.T.T. calculates percentage price deviations from the MA, displaying real-time labels when thresholds (e.g., 6%) are exceeded. This highlights overextended moves, ideal for spotting reversals or pullbacks, with alerts to keep traders informed.
Extensive Customization : Traders can tailor the MA type (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA), length, colors, line width, and label sizes. This flexibility supports diverse strategies across markets like stocks, forex, and crypto, from scalping to swing trading.
Automated Alerts : Alert conditions for crossovers and extensions integrate seamlessly with TradingView’s system, enabling traders to stay updated without constant chart monitoring.
M.A.T.T. combines trend analysis, signal generation, and overextension detection into a single, user-friendly tool. Its accessibility, reliability, and educational value for Pine Script learners make it a compelling contribution to the community.
II. What M.A.T.T. Does, How It Works, and Its Originality:
What It Does :
M.A.T.T. enhances trend analysis and trade decision-making through three core features:
Dynamic MA Visualization: Plots a customizable MA (SMA, EMA, WMA, or HMA) with trend-based coloring to reflect rising, falling, or flat market conditions.
Price Crossover Signals : Marks bullish (green circles) and bearish (red circles) crossovers, confirmed on closed bars, with alerts for trade opportunities.
Price Extension Labels : Displays real-time percentage deviations of price from the MA, with alerts when user-defined thresholds are breached, signaling potential reversals.
How It Works :
M.A.T.T. leverages Pine Script v6 for precise calculations and user-friendly outputs:
Inputs: Users select MA type, length, lookback period, colors, and thresholds for extensions, plus label styles and sizes for customization.
MA Calculation : A switch function computes the chosen MA (e.g., ta.ema(close, 21) for EMA). Trend direction is determined using ta.rising or ta.falling over the lookback period, coloring the MA accordingly.
Crossover Logic : Bullish crossovers (close > ma and close < ma ) and bearish crossovers (close < ma and close > ma ) are plotted as circles on confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to ensure reliability. Alerts trigger only on the first bar of a crossover.
Extension Logic : Percentage deviations are calculated as ((price - ma) / ma) * 100, using the high for above-MA extensions and low for below. Labels appear in real-time when thresholds are exceeded, with alerts on transitions to avoid noise.
Why It’s Original
M.A.T.T. distinguishes itself through a unique blend of features and thoughtful design:
All-in-One Design : It integrates dynamic MA coloring, non-repainting crossover signals, and real-time extension detection, addressing trend identification, trade signals, and overextension warnings in one tool—unlike most MA indicators that focus on a single aspect.
Real-Time Extension Labels : Displaying percentage deviations with customizable thresholds is a rare feature, ideal for volatile markets and not commonly found in standard scripts.
Non-Repainting Signals : Confirmed crossover signals enhance reliability for live trading, setting M.A.T.T. apart from less rigorous indicators.
Optimized Alert Condtions : Alerts trigger only on transitions (e.g., first bar of a crossover or extension), reducing noise and improving usability.
Visual and Functional Flexibility : Support for four MA types, extensive customization, and a clean interface (dynamic colors, tiny circles, clear labels) make it adaptable and user-friendly.
While MA plotting or crossovers exist elsewhere, M.A.T.T.’s seamless integration, real-time extension detection, alert conditions, and focus on reliability and customization create a distinctive, practical tool. Its balance of simplicity and sophistication makes it a unique asset for the TradingView community.

[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
