SpaceTime Profile Regular SpaceManBTCSpaceTime Profile Regular SpaceManBTC
Is a profiling tool for a market session.
Using time and price it calculates the TPO mapping the POC on your chart as well as the general profile.
The tool is useful as it can give you a general idea of how a day traded/is trading based off of its shape.
As well as provides the current developing POC as a reference for potentially a dynamic level of interest.
Value area shading is also including in the release using 68% as my reference of personal choice to represent where
bulk of the market activity occured on a given time frame.
To generate the data the indicator aims to look at the price variations over time of the given session (you can choose this in settings), this will then stack
and overlay on the chart to generate the TPO calculations by mapping 1 to 1 with the price you see on the chart.
This will give you areas of importance such as the POC which can be retested when naked providing a point of interest.
Works similar to volume profile but with no volume calculations only with price and time in mind.
Very useful tool for trend / market analysis by providing this graphical representation of a trading session between buyers and sellers!
Momentum by Trading BiZonesSqueeze Momentum Indicator with EMA
Overview
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator with EMA is a powerful technical analysis tool that combines the original Squeeze Momentum concept with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) overlay. This enhanced version helps traders identify market momentum, volatility contractions (squeezes), and potential trend reversals with greater precision.
Core Concept
The indicator operates on the principle of volatility contraction and expansion:
Squeeze Phase: When Bollinger Bands move inside the Keltner Channel, indicating low volatility and potential energy buildup
Expansion Phase: When momentum breaks out of the squeeze, signaling potential directional moves
Key Components
1. Squeeze Momentum Calculation
Formula: Momentum = Linear Regression(Close - Average Price)
Where Average Price = (Highest High + Lowest Low + SMA(Close)) / 3
Visualization: Histogram bars showing positive (green) and negative (red) momentum
Zero Line: Represents equilibrium point between buyers and sellers
2. EMA Overlay
Purpose: Smooths momentum values to identify underlying trends
Customization:
Adjustable period (default: 20)
Toggle on/off display
Customizable color and line thickness
Cross Signals: Buy/sell signals when momentum crosses above/below EMA
3. Volatility Bands
Bollinger Bands (20-period, 2 standard deviations)
Keltner Channels (20-period, 1.5 ATR multiplier)
Squeeze Detection: Visual background shading when BB are inside KC
Trading Signals
Buy Signals (Green Upward Triangle)
Momentum histogram crosses ABOVE EMA line
Occurs during or after squeeze release
Confirmed by expanding histogram bars
Sell Signals (Red Downward Triangle)
Momentum histogram crosses BELOW EMA line
Often precedes market downturns
Watch for increasing negative momentum
Squeeze Warnings (Gray Background)
Market in low volatility state
Prepare for potential breakout
Direction indicated by momentum bias
Indicator Settings
Main Parameters
Length: Period for calculations (default: 20)
Show EMA: Toggle EMA visibility
EMA Period: Smoothing period for EMA
Visual Settings
Histogram color-coding based on momentum direction
EMA line color and thickness
Signal marker size and visibility
Squeeze zone background display
Practical Applications
Trend Identification
Uptrend: Consistently positive momentum with EMA support
Downtrend: Consistently negative momentum with EMA resistance
Range-bound: Oscillating around zero line
Entry/Exit Points
Conservative Entry: Wait for squeeze release + EMA crossover
Aggressive Entry: Anticipate breakout during squeeze
Exit: Opposite crossover or momentum divergence
Risk Management
Use squeeze zones as warning periods
EMA crossovers as confirmation signals
Combine with support/resistance levels
Advanced Interpretation
Momentum Strength
Strong Bullish: Tall green bars above EMA
Weak Bullish: Short green bars near EMA
Strong Bearish: Tall red bars below EMA
Weak Bearish: Short red bars near EMA
Divergence Detection
Price makes higher high, momentum makes lower high → Bearish divergence
Price makes lower low, momentum makes higher low → Bullish divergence
Squeeze Characteristics
Long squeezes: More potential energy
Frequent squeezes: Choppy market conditions
No squeezes: High volatility, trending markets
Recommended Timeframes
Scalping: 1-15 minute charts
Day Trading: 15-minute to 4-hour charts
Swing Trading: 4-hour to daily charts
Position Trading: Daily to weekly charts
Best Practices
Confirmation
Use with volume indicators
Check higher timeframe direction
Wait for candle close confirmation
Filtering Signals
Ignore signals during extreme volatility
Require minimum bar size for crossovers
Consider market context (news, sessions)
Combination Suggestions
With RSI: Confirm overbought/oversold conditions
With Volume Profile: Identify high-volume nodes
With Support/Resistance: Key level reactions
With Trend Lines: Breakout confirmations
Limitations
Lagging indicator (based on past data)
Works best in trending markets
May give false signals in ranging markets
Requires proper risk management
Conclusion
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator with EMA provides a comprehensive view of market dynamics by combining volatility analysis, momentum measurement, and trend smoothing. Its visual clarity and customizable parameters make it suitable for traders of all experience levels seeking to identify high-probability trading opportunities during volatility contractions and expansions.
Nexural JMAHere's a natural description for TradingView:
Nexural JMA - Jurik Moving Average with Multi-Factor Analysis
WHAT IT DOES
This is a Jurik Moving Average indicator that I've enhanced with multi-factor scoring to help you identify high-quality trade setups. JMA is known for being smoother and more responsive than traditional moving averages, which means less lag without the whipsaw you get from faster EMAs.
The indicator plots the JMA line on your chart with dynamic support and resistance zones, entry signals, and a real-time dashboard that scores market conditions from 0 to 100 across five key factors.
KEY FEATURES
Jurik Moving Average - A sophisticated moving average that adapts quickly to price changes while staying smooth. You can adjust the phase and power settings to control its responsiveness.
Dynamic Zones - Creates a cloud around the JMA based on ATR. Think of it as a buffer zone that shows where price typically bounces or breaks through.
Multi-Factor Scoring - Real-time scores for Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Trend Strength. All metrics are normalized to 0-100 so you can quickly see what's strong and what's weak.
Strength-Based Gradient - The JMA line and cloud change opacity based on trend strength. Bright and solid means strong conviction, faded means weak or transitional.
Filtered Signals - Entry signals only appear when multiple factors align - price crosses the JMA, volume confirms, and trend strength is adequate.
HOW TO USE IT
The JMA Line - This is your trend filter. When the line is green and rising, look for long opportunities. When it's red and falling, look for shorts. The brighter the color, the stronger the trend.
The Cloud - Price typically bounces off the cloud edges in trends. When price breaks through the cloud against the trend, it often signals exhaustion or reversal.
Entry Signals - Green triangles below price are long signals. Red triangles above price are short signals. These only fire when volume, momentum, and trend strength are adequate.
The Dashboard - This is your market health monitor. Check it before taking a trade. You want to see high scores (70+) in momentum and trend strength for the best setups. Volume above 50 adds confirmation.
Volatility Score - High volatility (70+) means wider stops and bigger targets. Low volatility (below 30) means tighter ranges and smaller moves.
BEST PRACTICES
Use the dashboard to filter trades. If trend strength is below 40, the market is choppy and you're better off waiting for clarity.
Pay attention to the gradient intensity. A bright solid JMA line with a visible cloud means the trend has conviction. A faded line means the trend is weak or transitioning.
Volume matters. Signals with volume scores above 70 tend to have better follow-through than those with weak volume.
Don't force trades when momentum is low. Below 40 momentum score means the market is consolidating or drifting.
Use the cloud as a stop loss guide in trends. Price reclaiming the cloud against the trend is often your signal to exit or tighten stops.
UNDERSTANDING THE SCORES
Momentum Score - Measures the rate of change over 10 bars compared to recent history. High scores mean price is moving decisively.
Volume Score - Compares current volume to the last 100 bars. Above 70 means volume is strong, below 30 means it's weak.
Volatility Score - Based on ATR percentile. High scores mean the market is moving with larger swings, low scores mean it's quiet.
Trend Strength - Combines how far price is from the JMA plus the slope of the JMA itself. This is your conviction meter.
SETTINGS BREAKDOWN
JMA Length - Default is 7, which is quite responsive. Increase to 14 or 21 for smoother trends on higher timeframes. Lower to 5 for faster response on scalping timeframes.
Phase - Default is 50 which is balanced. Higher values (70-100) make it more responsive but can increase whipsaws. Lower values (0-30) make it smoother but add lag.
Power - Controls the JMA curve calculation. Default is 2 which works well. Higher values make it more responsive at the cost of smoothness.
Source - Default is close, but you can experiment with hlc3 or ohlc4 for different characteristics.
PROS
Clean visual presentation - The gradient system makes trend strength obvious at a glance.
No guesswork on market conditions - The scored dashboard tells you exactly what's working and what's not.
Filtered signals - Unlike basic moving average crosses, these signals require multiple confirmations.
Adaptable - Works on stocks, crypto, forex, and futures. Just adjust the length for your timeframe.
Low lag - JMA responds faster than SMA or EMA of the same length, so you get earlier entries.
CONS
JMA can be sensitive - On the default settings, you might see some false signals in choppy markets. Consider increasing the length if this happens.
Requires interpretation - The dashboard gives you data, but you still need to make the trading decision. It's not a one-click solution.
Works best in trends - Like most moving average systems, it struggles in tight sideways ranges. Low trend strength scores will warn you when this is happening.
Not ideal for very fast scalping - The default length of 7 works for 5-minute and above, but for 1-minute scalping, you might need to drop it to 3-5 and accept more noise.
Volume data quality matters - On some assets or timeframes, volume data is unreliable or unavailable. The volume score will be less useful in those cases.
TIPS FROM MY TESTING
The indicator works best on the 5-minute to daily timeframes. I've had the most success on 15-minute and 1-hour charts.
When all scores are above 60, you're in prime trading conditions. These are your A+ setups.
Use it with support and resistance. When a signal fires at a key level with high trend strength, the probability increases significantly.
The cloud is your friend in trends. In strong trends, price will use the cloud edges as support or resistance for continuation entries.
Don't ignore weak signals in strong trends. Sometimes a low momentum score during a pullback in a strong trend is your best re-entry point.
Watch for divergence between price and the JMA. If price makes a new high but the JMA is fading in color and trend strength is dropping, that's often a warning sign.
ALERT SYSTEM
The alerts include the trend strength score in the message, so you know immediately if it's a high-conviction signal or a marginal one. Set your alerts to "once per bar close" to avoid repainting.
COMBINING WITH OTHER TOOLS
This works great with RSI or stochastic for timing entries. Use the JMA for trend direction and zones for context, then use an oscillator to time the exact entry.
It pairs well with volume profile. The JMA shows you the trend, volume profile shows you where the battle is happening.
Consider using a higher timeframe JMA for bias and a lower timeframe for entries. If the 1-hour JMA is bullish with 80 trend strength, look for long entries on the 15-minute chart.
This indicator is designed to give you clarity in a noisy market. The JMA itself is a powerful tool, but adding the multi-factor scoring system helps you understand the quality of what you're seeing. It's not magic, but it's been helpful for filtering out the junk and focusing on the setups with the best probability.
As always, backtest it on your markets and timeframes. Adjust the settings to fit your trading style. What works for one person might not work for another, so make it your own.
Good luck and trade safe.
chanlun缠论 - 笔与中枢Overview
The Chanlun (缠论) Strokes & Central Zones indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool based on Chinese Chan Theory (Chanlun Theory). It automatically identifies market structure through "strokes" (笔) and "central hubs" (中枢), providing traders with a systematic framework for understanding price movements, trend structure, and potential reversal zones.
Theoretical Foundation
Chan Theory is a sophisticated price action methodology that breaks down market movements into hierarchical structures:
Local Extremes: Swing highs and lows identified through lookback periods
Strokes (笔): Valid price movements between opposite extremes that meet specific criteria
Central Hubs (中枢): Consolidation zones formed by overlapping strokes, representing key support/resistance areas
Key Components
1. Local Extreme Detection
Identifies swing highs and lows using a configurable lookback period (default: 5 bars)
Only considers extremes within the specified calculation range
Forms the foundation for stroke construction
2. Stroke (笔) Identification
The indicator applies a multi-stage filtering process to identify valid strokes:
Stage 1 - Extreme Consolidation:
Merges consecutive extremes of the same type (high or low)
Keeps only the most extreme value (highest high or lowest low)
Stage 2 - Stroke Validation:
Ensures minimum bar gap between strokes (default: 4 bars)
Alternative validation: 2+ bars with >1% price change
Eliminates noise and insignificant price movements
Color Coding:
White Lines: Regular up/down strokes
Yellow Lines: Strokes that form part of a central hub
Customizable width and colors for different stroke types
3. Central Hub (中枢) Formation
A central hub forms when at least 3 consecutive strokes have overlapping price ranges:
Formation Rules:
Stroke 1:
Stroke 2:
Stroke 3:
Hub Upper = MIN(High1, High2, High3)
Hub Lower = MAX(Low1, Low2, Low3)
Valid if: Hub Upper > Hub Lower
Hub Extension:
Subsequent strokes that overlap with the hub extend it
Hub ends when a stroke no longer overlaps
Creates rectangular zones on the chart
Visual Representation:
Green rectangular boxes: Mark the time and price range of each central hub
Dashed extension lines: Show the latest hub boundaries extending to the right
Price labels on axis: Display exact hub upper and lower boundary values
4. Extreme Point Markers (Optional)
Red markers for tops (▼)
Green markers for bottoms (▲)
Marks every validated stroke extreme point
Useful for detailed structure analysis
5. Information Table (Optional)
Displays real-time statistics:
Symbol name
Current timeframe
Lookback period setting
Minimum gap setting
Total stroke count
Parameter Settings
Performance Settings
Max Bars to Calculate (3600): Limits historical calculation to improve performance
Local Extreme Lookback Period (5): Bars used to identify swing highs/lows
Min Gap Bars (4): Minimum bars required between valid strokes
Display Settings
Show Strokes: Toggle stroke line visibility
Show Central Hub: Toggle hub box visibility
Show Hub Extension Lines: Toggle dashed boundary lines
Show Extreme Point Marks: Toggle top/bottom markers
Show Info Table: Toggle statistics table
Color Settings
Full customization of:

Hub border and background colors
Extension line colors
Trading Applications
Trend Structure Analysis
Uptrend: Series of higher highs and higher lows connected by strokes
Downtrend: Series of lower highs and lower lows connected by strokes
Consolidation: Formation of central hubs indicating range-bound movement
Support and Resistance Identification
Central Hub Zones: Act as strong support/resistance areas
Hub Upper Boundary: Resistance level in consolidation, support after breakout
Hub Lower Boundary: Support level in consolidation, resistance after breakdown
Price tends to react at these levels due to market structure memory
Breakout Trading
Bullish Breakout: Price closes above hub upper boundary
Previous resistance becomes support
Entry on retest of upper boundary
Stop loss below hub zone
Bearish Breakdown: Price closes below hub lower boundary
Previous support becomes resistance
Entry on retest of lower boundary
Stop loss above hub zone
Reversal Detection
Hub Formation After Trend: Signals potential trend exhaustion
Multiple Hub Levels: Create probability zones for reversals
Stroke Count: Excessive strokes within hub suggest weakening momentum
Position Management
Use hub boundaries for stop loss placement
Scale out positions at hub edges
Re-enter on retests of broken hub levels
Interpretation Guide
Strong Trending Market
Long, clear strokes with minimal overlap
Few or no central hubs forming
Strokes consistently in same direction
Wide spacing between extremes
Consolidating Market
Multiple central hubs forming
Short, overlapping strokes
Yellow hub strokes dominate the chart
Narrow price range
Trend Transition
Hub formation after extended trend
Stroke direction changes frequently
Hub boundaries being tested repeatedly
Potential reversal zone
Advanced Usage Techniques
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Higher Timeframe: Identify major hub zones for overall market structure
Lower Timeframe: Find precise entry points within larger structure
Alignment: Trade when lower timeframe strokes align with higher timeframe hub breaks
Hub Quality Assessment
Wide Hubs: Strong consolidation, higher probability support/resistance
Narrow Hubs: Weak consolidation, may break easily
Extended Hubs: More strokes = stronger zone
Isolated Hubs: Single hub = potential pivot point
Stroke Analysis
Stroke Length: Longer strokes = stronger momentum
Stroke Speed: Fewer bars per stroke = explosive moves
Stroke Clustering: Many short strokes = indecision
Best Practices
Parameter Optimization
Adjust lookback period based on timeframe and volatility
Lower periods (3-4): More strokes, more noise, faster signals
Higher periods (7-10): Fewer strokes, cleaner structure, slower signals
Confirmation Strategy
Don't trade on strokes alone
Combine with volume analysis
Use candlestick patterns at hub boundaries
Wait for breakout confirmation
Risk Management
Always place stops outside hub zones
Use hub width to size positions (wider hub = smaller position)
Exit if price re-enters broken hub from wrong direction
Avoid Common Pitfalls
Don't trade within central hubs (range-bound, unpredictable)
Don't ignore higher timeframe hub structures
Don't chase strokes after they've extended far from hub
Don't trust single-stroke hubs (need 3+ strokes for validity)
Performance Considerations
Max Bars Limit: Set to 3600 to balance detail with performance
Safe Distance Calculation: Only draws objects within 2000 bars of current price
Object Cleanup: Automatically removes old drawing objects to prevent memory issues
Efficient Arrays: Uses indexed arrays for fast lookup and processing
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance:
Liquid markets with clear structure (major forex pairs, indices, large-cap stocks)
Trending markets with periodic consolidations
Medium to high volatility for clear stroke formation
Less Effective:
Extremely choppy, directionless markets
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) with excessive noise
Illiquid instruments with erratic price action
Integration with Other Indicators
Complementary Tools:
Volume Profile: Confirm hub significance with volume nodes
Moving Averages: Use for trend bias within stroke structure
RSI/MACD: Momentum confirmation at hub boundaries
Fibonacci Retracements: Hub levels often align with Fib levels
Advantages

Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool # Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool
## OVERVIEW
This indicator is designed for traders who utilize institutional trading concepts, specifically liquidity sweeps and optimal trade entry (OTE) zones, combined with session-based market structure analysis. It identifies potential market manipulation points where stop losses are likely clustered, and highlights high-probability entry zones based on Fibonacci retracements.
The tool combines four main analytical components that work synergistically to identify trading opportunities aligned with smart money behavior.
---
## CORE CONCEPTS & METHODOLOGY
### 1. TRADING SESSIONS ANALYSIS
**What it does:**
The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)
---
### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept
---
### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.
---
## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
### Master Controls
- Toggle each major feature on/off independently
- Combine only the features relevant to your trading style
### Display Settings
- Adjust lookback periods for each component
- Control number of historical zones displayed
- Customize colors, line styles, and transparency

### Detection Sensitivity
- **Sweep Detection:** Choose between wick breaks, close breaks, or full retraces
- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows

Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.

## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
### Master Controls
- Toggle each major feature on/off independently
- Combine only the features relevant to your trading style
### Display Settings
- Adjust lookback periods for each component
- Control number of historical zones displayed
- Customize colors, line styles, and transparency
- Show/hide labels and session names
- Configure text sizes for different screen setups
### Detection Sensitivity
- **Sweep Detection:** Choose between wick breaks, close breaks, or full retraces
- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows

Multi Timeframe 8x MA Support Resistance Zones [SiDec]Multi-Timeframe Moving Average Support/Resistance Zones: The Ultimate Trading Power Tool
Indicator Overview
Get ready to elevate your trading game with the Multi-Timeframe Moving Average Support/Resistance Zones indicator. This advanced tool is engineered for traders who want to maximize efficiency without constantly switching between timeframes. By dynamically plotting support and resistance zones using the 21 SMA and 21 EMA, it reveals crucial price levels where trends may pause, reverse, or accelerate—giving you actionable insights in a fraction of the time.
Imagine seeing all the relevant timeframe zones on one chart, without ever needing to flip between timeframes—saving you time and allowing you to focus on what really matters.
Core Features
Dynamic Zones That Adjust in Real-Time:
The area between the 21 EMA and 21 SMA is shaded, forming a "zone" on your chart. This dynamic zone adjusts live as price moves, keeping you in sync with current market behavior across multiple timeframes.
By showing these zones across all your selected timeframes, you can view everything you need at a glance—no time wasted jumping between charts.
All Timeframes, One View:
With the ability to view multiple timeframe zones simultaneously (from 5-minute to Monthly), this tool helps you spot key levels quickly without switching between timeframes. You’ll see how price interacts with these levels across different timeframes without ever having to change charts.
Higher timeframes show broader, more significant zones—giving you the market's big picture—while intraday zones help you fine-tune your entries.
Customisable Like Never Before:
Toggle Timeframes: Only activate the timeframes you care about—no distractions, just pure focus.
Color Your World: Assign different colors to each timeframe for instant visual cues (e.g., blue for Daily, gold for Weekly). This makes it easy to identify key zones across all timeframes at a glance.
Why You Need This Tool
Instant Trend Confirmation: Track how price interacts with multiple timeframe zones to confirm bullish or bearish momentum in real-time.
Confluence = High Confidence: When zones from multiple timeframes overlap, you’ve found a high-probability reversal area. This is where the market is likely to turn, and where your edge lies.
Efficiency at Its Best: No more switching between timeframes—everything you need is in one place, giving you more time to trade and less time spent on analysis.
Configuration Instructions
1.) Timeframe Selection:
Choose which timeframes to display using the Timeframe Selection panel.
Intraday Focus: 5m, 15m, 1H.
Swing/Long-Term Focus: 4H, 12H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
Color Coding: Assign a distinct color to each timeframe for instant identification—like having a personal color-coded trading roadmap.
2.) MA Settings:
MA Types:
21 EMA: Perfect for capturing short-term trends and fast price action.
21 SMA: The smooth operator for spotting longer-term trends with more consistency.
Recommended Periods: The 21-period MA works wonders for trend detection across various timeframes. You can also integrate Fibonacci-based MAs (e.g., 55, 233) for enhanced confluence.
3.) Visual Tweaks:
Opacity: Adjust the zone transparency (80-90% opacity keeps it visible yet non-intrusive).
Zone Extensions: Customize how far zones extend backward and forward, capturing the full impact of support/resistance levels.
Labels: Show real-time MA values and timeframe-specific details for further clarity.
Trading Strategies That Pack a Punch
1.) Trend Confirmation:
Uptrend: Price staying above the 21 EMA and 21 SMA suggests a bullish trend.
Downtrend: Price holding below these MAs signals a bearish market.
2.) Zone-Based Reversals:
Entry: Look for price to retrace to a higher timeframe support zone (e.g., Daily 21 SMA) with confirmation from oversold/overbought indicators like RSI.
Exit: Time to sell when price breaks through a critical zone, like the 4H 21 EMA.
3.) Confluence Trading:
Combine the zones with other indicators to amplify your trade setups:
Fibonacci Levels: When a 61.8% retracement lines up with an MA zone, you’ve found a high-confluence area.
Volume Profile: High-volume nodes near key zones strengthen their significance.
Best Practices for Maximum Profit
Focus on Higher Timeframes: Weekly and Monthly zones carry more weight, making them more significant in decision-making.
Avoid Clutter: If you’re trading higher timeframes, disable intraday timeframes like 5m and 15m to keep your chart clear and focused.
Risk Management: Zones are probabilities, not guarantees. Always use stop-loss orders to protect your trades.
Example of a Winning Setup
Scenario:
Price retraces to the 1H 21 EMA zone.
The Daily 21 SMA zone is nearby—talk about confluence!
RSI shows oversold conditions, indicating a potential reversal.
Action:
Enter long on a bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., bullish engulfing).
Set your stop-loss just below the Daily 21 SMA zone.
Target the next higher timeframe resistance.
Performance Considerations
Repainting Risk: Zones might slightly adjust with the formation of new bars, but the changes will typically be minimal.
Enhance with Oscillators: Use momentum indicators like MACD or Stochastic and volume analysis for even more confirmation.
Conclusion
The Multi-Timeframe Moving Average Support/Resistance Zones indicator isn’t just a tool—it’s a game-changer. With the ability to view all relevant timeframe zones on one chart, you can make decisions faster, spot high-confluence areas, and trade with greater precision. The time you save by not switching between timeframes can make all the difference in your trading success.
Maximise your trading edge—harness the power of multi-timeframe analysis, gain more time to trade, and dominate the market like never before. 📊🔍

Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel [BOSWaves]Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel - Adaptive Mean Reversion with Dynamic Equilibrium Geometry
Overview
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel introduces an advanced equilibrium-mapping framework that blends statistical mean reversion with adaptive trend geometry. Traditional channels and regression bands react linearly to volatility, often failing to capture the natural rhythm of price equilibrium. This model evolves that concept through a dynamic reversion engine, where equilibrium adapts continuously to volatility, trend slope, and structural bias - forming a living channel that bends, expands, and contracts in real time.
The result is a smooth, equilibrium-driven representation of market balance - not just trend direction. Instead of static bands or abrupt slope shifts, traders see fluid, volatility-aware motion that mirrors the natural pull-and-release dynamic of market behavior. Each channel visualizes the probabilistic boundaries of fair value, showing where price tends to revert and where it accelerates away from its statistical mean.
Unlike conventional envelopes or Bollinger-type constructs, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck framework is volatility-reactive and equilibrium-sensitive, providing traders with a contextual map of where price is likely to stabilize, extend, or exhaust.

The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is inspired by stochastic mean-reversion processes - mathematical models used to describe systems that oscillate around a drifting equilibrium. While linear regression channels assume constant variance, financial markets operate under variable volatility and shifting equilibrium points. The OU process accounts for this by treating price as a mean-seeking motion governed by volatility and trend persistence.
At its core are three interacting components:
Equilibrium Mean (μ) : Represents the evolving balance point of price, adjusting to directional bias and volatility.
Reversion Rate (θ) : Defines how strongly price is pulled back toward equilibrium after deviation, capturing the self-correcting nature of market structure.
Volatility Coefficient (σ) : Controls how far and how quickly price can diverge from equilibrium before mean reversion pressure increases.
By embedding this stochastic model inside a volatility-adjusted framework, the system accurately scales across different markets and conditions - maintaining meaningful equilibrium geometry across crypto, forex, indices, or commodities. This design gives traders a mathematically grounded yet visually intuitive interpretation of dynamic balance in live market motion.
How It Works
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is constructed through a structured multi-stage process that merges stochastic logic with volatility mechanics:
Equilibrium Estimation Core : The indicator begins by identifying the evolving mean using adaptive smoothing influenced by trend direction and volatility. This becomes the live centerline - the statistical anchor around which price naturally oscillates.
Volatility Normalization Layer : ATR or rolling deviation is used to calculate volatility intensity. The output scales the channel width dynamically, ensuring that boundaries reflect current variance rather than static thresholds.
Directional Bias Engine : EMA slope and trend confirmation logic determine whether equilibrium should tilt upward or downward. This creates asymmetrical channel motion that bends with the prevailing trend rather than staying horizontal.
Channel Boundary Construction : Upper and lower bands are plotted at volatility-proportional distances from the mean. These envelopes form the “statistical pressure zones” that indicate where mean reversion or acceleration may occur.
Signal and Lifecycle Control : Channel breaches, mean crossovers, and slope flips mark statistically significant events - exhaustion, continuation, or rebalancing. Older equilibrium zones gradually fade, ensuring a clear, context-aware visual field.
Through these layers, the channel forms a continuously updating equilibrium corridor that adapts in real time - breathing with the market’s volatility and rhythm.
Interpretation
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel reframes how traders interpret balance and momentum. Instead of viewing price as directional movement alone, it visualizes the constant tension between trending force and equilibrium pull.
Uptrend Phases : The equilibrium mean tilts upward, with price oscillating around or slightly above the midline. Upper band touches signal momentum extension; lower touches reflect healthy reversion.
Downtrend Phases : The mean slopes downward, with upper-band interactions marking resistance zones and lower bands acting as reversion boundaries.
Equilibrium Transitions : Flat mean sections indicate balance or distribution phases. Breaks from these neutral zones often precede directional expansion.
Overextension Events : When price closes beyond an outer boundary, it marks statistically significant disequilibrium - an early warning of exhaustion or volatility reset.
Visually, the OU channel translates volatility and equilibrium into structured geometry, giving traders a statistical lens on trend quality, reversion probability, and volatility stress points.
Strategy Integration
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel integrates seamlessly into both mean-reversion and trend-continuation systems:
Trend Alignment : Use mean slope direction to confirm higher-timeframe bias before entering continuation setups.
Reversion Entries : Target rejections from outer bands when supported by volume or divergence, capturing snapbacks toward equilibrium.
Volatility Breakout Mapping : Monitor boundary expansions to identify transition from compression to expansion phases.
Liquidity Zone Confirmation : Combine with BOS or order-block indicators to validate structural zones against equilibrium positioning.
Momentum Filtering : Align with oscillators or volume profiles to isolate equilibrium-based pullbacks with statistical context.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Stochastic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for continuous mean recalibration.
Volatility Framework : ATR- and deviation-based scaling for dynamic channel expansion.
Directional Logic : EMA-slope driven bias for adaptive mean tilt.
Channel Composition : Independent upper and lower envelopes with smoothing and transparency control.
Signal Structure : Alerts for mean crossovers and boundary breaches.
Performance Profile : Lightweight, multi-timeframe compatible implementation optimized for real-time responsiveness.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Reactive equilibrium tracking for short-term scalping and microstructure analysis.
15 - 60 min : Medium-range setups for volatility-phase transitions and intraday structure.
4H - Daily : Macro equilibrium mapping for identifying exhaustion, distribution, or reaccumulation zones.
Suggested Configuration:
Mean Length : 20 - 50
Volatility Multiplier : 1.5× - 2.5×
Reversion Sensitivity : 0.4 - 0.8
Smoothing : 2 - 5
Parameter tuning should reflect asset liquidity, volatility, and desired reversion frequency.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending environments with cyclical pullbacks and volatility oscillation.
Markets exhibiting consistent equilibrium-return behavior (indices, majors, high-cap crypto).
Reduced Effectiveness:
Low-volatility consolidations with minimal variance.
Random walk markets lacking definable equilibrium anchors.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Pair with BOSWaves structural tools or momentum oscillators for context validation.
Directional Control : Follow mean slope alignment for directional conviction before acting on channel extremes.
Risk Calibration : Use outer band violations for controlled contrarian entries or trailing stop management.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy : Derive macro equilibrium zones on higher timeframes and refine entries on lower levels.
Disclaimer
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is a professional-grade equilibrium and volatility framework. It is not predictive or profit-assured; performance depends on parameter calibration, volatility regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack combining structure, liquidity, and momentum context.
Liquidity Heatmap Concepts [sma] Overview
Liquidity Heatmap Concepts is a sophisticated visualization tool that maps potential liquidation zones for leveraged positions across multiple timeframes. It calculates and displays where high-volume liquidations might occur at various leverage levels (25x, 50x, 100x, 150x), helping traders identify potential support/resistance zones created by cascading liquidations. Additionally, it includes a quarterly volume profile to show historical price distribution and Point of Control levels.
### Volume-Based Trigger System
Lines are only drawn when volume exceeds a threshold:
1. Calculates 14-period simple moving average of volume
2. Applies configurable multiplier (default 1.2x) to determine significance
3. Only plots liquidation levels when current volume > (Volume SMA × Multiplier)
4. This filters out low-volume noise and focuses on meaningful zones
### Visual Intensity System
The indicator uses a gradient coloring system based on relative volume:
- **Peak Volume (White)**: When current bar has maximum volume in the dataset
- Line width: 3 pixels
- Brightest color intensity
- **Above Average Volume**: Volume exceeds average but isn't peak
- Line width: 2 pixels
- Medium color intensity
- **Standard Volume**: Exceeds threshold but below average
- Line width: 1 pixel
- Base color intensity
### Line Extension & Management
- Lines extend horizontally to the right until price crosses them
- Automatic cleanup removes lines after maximum count (default 500)
- Lines persist until invalidated by price action crossing the level
- Oldest lines are removed first when limit is reached
### Quarterly Volume Profile
An optional fixed-range volume profile that:
1. **Automatic Quarter Detection**: Identifies Q1 (Jan-Mar), Q2 (Apr-Jun), Q3 (Jul-Sep), Q4 (Oct-Dec)
2. **Price Distribution Analysis**: Divides the quarter's price range into configurable rows (default 20)
3. **Volume Aggregation**: Accumulates volume at each price level throughout the quarter
4. **POC Identification**: Highlights the price level with highest volume (Point of Control)
5. **Value Area**: Shows the price range containing 70% (configurable) of total volume
6. **Profile Drawing**: At the start of each new quarter, draws the previous quarter's profile as horizontal bars
The volume profile can be positioned on either left or right side of the quarter range with adjustable width.
## Key Features
- **Multi-Leverage Display**: Toggle between 25x, 50x, 100x, and 150x leverage levels independently
- **Dual Side Tracking**: Separate visualization for long and short liquidation zones
- **Volume-Weighted Importance**: Visual intensity correlates with volume significance
- **Gradient Coloring**: Color intensity reflects relative volume magnitude
- **Smart Line Management**: Automatic cleanup prevents chart clutter
- **Historical Context**: Quarterly volume profile shows where price spent most time
- **Fully Customizable**: All colors, thresholds, and display options are adjustable
- **HD Mode**: Uses absolute volume for more precise visualization
## Parameters
### Leverage Selection
- **25x, 50x, 100x, 150x Toggles**: Enable/disable specific leverage levels
- Each level can be controlled independently
### Volume Configuration
- **Minimum Volume Multiplier** (default 1.2): Threshold above volume SMA to trigger lines
- Higher values = fewer but more significant levels
- Lower values = more levels but increased noise
### Advanced Settings
- **Maximum Lines** (default 500, range 50-500): Memory management limit
- Controls how many historical liquidation lines are maintained
### Quarterly Volume Profile
- **Show Previous Q Volume Profile** (default on): Toggle profile visibility
- **Number of Rows** (default 20, range 10-50): Price distribution granularity
- **Profile Width** (default 30%): Visual width as percentage of quarter range
- **Value Area** (default 70%): Percentage of volume for value area calculation
- **Position** (Left/Right): Profile placement relative to quarter
- **Show Values** (default off): Display POC volume label
- **Colors**: Customizable base and POC colors
### Color Customization
- **Long Colors**: Individual colors for each leverage level (25x, 50x, 100x, 150x)
- **Short Colors**: Separate color scheme for short liquidation zones
- **VP Colors**: Base color and POC highlight color for volume profile
## Interpretation
### Liquidation Clusters
- **Dense Line Areas**: Multiple overlapping liquidation levels suggest strong magnetic zones
- **High-Volume Lines**: Brighter/thicker lines indicate more significant potential liquidations
- **Line Breaks**: Price crossing multiple liquidation lines may trigger cascade effects
### Trading Applications
- **Support/Resistance**: Liquidation clusters often act as temporary support/resistance
- **Stop Hunt Zones**: Areas where price may spike to trigger liquidations before reversing
- **Momentum Acceleration**: Breaking through dense clusters can indicate strong directional moves
- **Risk Management**: Avoid placing stops directly at obvious liquidation levels
### Volume Profile Usage
- **POC (Point of Control)**: Price level with highest volume - often acts as strong support/resistance
- **Value Area**: Where most trading activity occurred - indicates fair value range
- **Profile Shape**:
- Balanced profile (bell curve) = ranging market
- Skewed profile = trending market with acceptance at extremes
- **Profile Gaps**: Low volume areas suggest price may move quickly through these zones
### Combined Analysis
- Liquidation lines near quarterly POC create extra-strong zones
- Price returning to value area from outside often finds support/resistance
- Liquidation clusters at value area edges suggest potential reversal points
## Technical Implementation
This indicator features:
- **Custom Type Structures**: Uses type definitions for organized data storage
- `BarData`: Stores OHLCV and index information
- `LiquidityBin`: Manages arrays of line objects for each leverage level
- `VolumeProfileData`: Handles profile boxes, labels, and range data

Adaptive Range Scalper - KetBotAIThe Adaptive Scalper is designed to dynamically adjust entry, take-profit (TP), and stop-loss (SL) levels based on the latest market price. It combines multiple tools to provide traders with actionable insights, suitable for a range of trading styles and timeframes.
How the Indicator Works
Dynamic Levels:
- Yellow Dotted Line: Represents the entry level, following the latest price dynamically.
- Green Line: The Take Profit (TP) level, calculated as a multiple of the current price, adapts in real-time.
- Red Line: The Stop Loss (SL) level, placed below the price and also dynamically adjusts.
Bollinger Bands:
Provides context for market volatility and potential overbought/oversold zones.
Narrowing bands signal consolidation, while expanding bands indicate increased volatility.
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band.
These signals help traders time entries and exits based on momentum shifts.
Risk/Reward Analysis:
Visual shading shows the favorable risk/reward zone between the stop loss and take profit levels.
Timeframe Suggestions
Short-Term Traders (Scalping):
Use on 5-minute to 15-minute charts.
Focus on high-volatility periods for quick entries and exits.
Intraday Traders:
Ideal for 30-minute to 1-hour charts.
Provides more stable signals and less noise.
Swing Traders:
Best suited for 4-hour or daily charts.
Captures broader trends with fewer signals, allowing for larger moves.
Tool Combination
Volume Profile:
Combine with volume-based tools to confirm key support/resistance zones around TP and SL levels.
Trend Indicators:
Use with Moving Averages (e.g., 20-period or 50-period) to identify the broader trend direction.
Example: Only take buy signals in an uptrend and sell signals in a downtrend.
Momentum Oscillators:
Pair with tools like RSI or MACD to avoid entering overbought/oversold conditions.
Support/Resistance Lines:
Manually mark significant levels to confirm alignment with the indicator’s TP and SL zones.
Useful Advice for Traders
Risk Management:
- Always assess the risk/reward ratio; aim for at least 1:2 (risking 1 to gain 2).
- Adjust the multiplier to match your trading style (e.g., higher multiplier for swing trades, lower for scalping).
Avoid Overtrading:
Use the indicator in conjunction with clear rules to avoid false signals during low-volatility periods.
Monitor market volatility:
Pay attention to narrowing Bollinger Bands, which signal consolidations. Avoid trading until a breakout occurs.
Test on Demo Accounts:
Practice using the indicator on a demo account to understand its behavior across different assets and timeframes.
Focus on High-Liquidity Markets:
For the best results, trade highly liquid instruments like major currency pairs, gold, or stock indices.
Summary
The Adaptive Range Indicator dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering clear entry and exit levels. By combining it with Bollinger Bands and other tools, traders can better navigate market trends and avoid noise. It’s versatile across multiple timeframes and assets, making it a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit.
Normal Distribution CurveThis Normal Distribution Curve is designed to overlay a simple normal distribution curve on top of any TradingView indicator. This curve represents a probability distribution for a given dataset and can be used to gain insights into the likelihood of various data levels occurring within a specified range, providing traders and investors with a clear visualization of the distribution of values within a specific dataset. With the only inputs being the variable source and plot colour, I think this is by far the simplest and most intuitive iteration of any statistical analysis based indicator I've seen here!
Traders can quickly assess how data clusters around the mean in a bell curve and easily see the percentile frequency of the data; or perhaps with both and upper and lower peaks identify likely periods of upcoming volatility or mean reversion. Facilitating the identification of outliers was my main purpose when creating this tool, I believed fixed values for upper/lower bounds within most indicators are too static and do not dynamically fit the vastly different movements of all assets and timeframes - and being able to easily understand the spread of information simplifies the process of identifying key regions to take action.
The curve's tails, representing the extreme percentiles, can help identify outliers and potential areas of price reversal or trend acceleration. For example using the RSI which typically has static levels of 70 and 30, which will be breached considerably more on a less liquid or more volatile asset and therefore reduce the actionable effectiveness of the indicator, likewise for an asset with little to no directional volatility failing to ever reach this overbought/oversold areas. It makes considerably more sense to look for the top/bottom 5% or 10% levels of outlying data which are automatically calculated with this indicator, and may be a noticeable distance from the 70 and 30 values, as regions to be observing for your investing.
This normal distribution curve employs percentile linear interpolation to calculate the distribution. This interpolation technique considers the nearest data points and calculates the price values between them. This process ensures a smooth curve that accurately represents the probability distribution, even for percentiles not directly present in the original dataset; and applicable to any asset regardless of timeframe. The lookback period is set to a value of 5000 which should ensure ample data is taken into calculation and consideration without surpassing any TradingView constraints and limitations, for datasets smaller than this the indicator will adjust the length to just include all data. The labels providing the percentile and average levels can also be removed in the style tab if preferred.
Additionally, as an unplanned benefit is its applicability to the underlying price data as well as any derived indicators. Turning it into something comparable to a volume profile indicator but based on the time an assets price was within a specific range as opposed to the volume. This can therefore be used as a tool for identifying potential support and resistance zones, as well as areas that mark market inefficiencies as price rapidly accelerated through. This may then give a cleaner outlook as it eliminates the potential drawbacks of volume based profiles that maybe don't collate all exchange data or are misrepresented due to large unforeseen increases/decreases underlying capital inflows/outflows.
Thanks to @ALifeToMake, @Bjorgum, vgladkov on stackoverflow (and possibly some chatGPT!) for all the assistance in bringing this indicator to life. I really hope every user can find some use from this and help bring a unique and data driven perspective to their decision making. And make sure to please share any original implementaions of this tool too! If you've managed to apply this to the average price change once you've entered your position to better manage your trade management, or maybe overlaying on an implied volatility indicator to identify potential options arbitrage opportunities; let me know! And of course if anyone has any issues, questions, queries or requests please feel free to reach out! Thanks and enjoy.
Pin Candle DetectionPin candles are a variation of hammer candles that are useful in technical analysis . In particular, when combined with volume profile studies, they can be a powerful set up for long entries or other decision making.
For example, when looking at volume profiles, a long entry would be a fair value area (i.e. 40%) below the close of a pin candle. When combined with a support level , the set up is stronger.
While most scripts look for hammer candles, pin candles are somewhat different in that the length of the wick is significant.
This script and its parameters was built for ES futures 15 min chart in mind.
This script is unique in that it allows for the below parameters to be adjusted to suit other instruments and timeframes:
1. Fib level: Candle must close within a certain retracement level). My preference is 0.55. Some traders like 0.5, while others prefer 0.33
2. Wick length: Pin candles differ from pure hammers in that the length of the wick must be significant. My preference is 7 points on ES (as in $ and not ticks)
Add this script to your alerts to no longer miss these set ups.
Bar Bodies [vnhilton]Note: Go to "Chart Settings" & hide "Body" & "Borders". Also uncheck "Labels on price scale" & "Values in status line" as they're not needed.
This script plots candlestick bodies with the same thickness as the wicks (similar to the bar chart, but without the horizontal lines to represent the open & close). To do this, it plots an invisible candlestick body with an invisible candlestick border from the high to the close/open for a green/red candle respectively, & uses the low wick as the candlestick body itself by plotting it from the low price to the open/close for a green/red candle respectively.
My personal use for this script is to use it in conjunction with TradingView's Periodic Volume Profile, in order to still see OHLC data without obstructing the candlesticks' volume profiles, as seen in the chart snapshot image above.

🔥 ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM
Overview
This comprehensive order flow analysis tool combines Volume Profile, Cumulative Delta, and Large Order Detection to identify high-probability trading setups. The script analyzes institutional order flow patterns and volume distribution to pinpoint key levels where price is likely to react.
________________________________________
📊 Core Components & Methodology
1. Volume Profile Analysis
The script constructs a horizontal volume profile by:
• Dividing the price range into configurable rows (default: 20)
• Accumulating volume at each price level over a lookback period (default: 50 bars)
• Separating buy volume (green bars close > open) from sell volume (red bars)
• Identifying three critical levels:
o POC (Point of Control): Price level with highest traded volume - acts as a strong magnet
o VAH/VAL (Value Area High/Low): Contains 70% of total volume - defines fair value zone
o HVN (High Volume Nodes): Resistance zones where institutions accumulated positions
o LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Thin zones that price moves through quickly - ideal targets
Why This Matters: Institutional traders leave footprints through volume. HVN zones show where large players defended levels, making them reliable support/resistance.
________________________________________
2. Cumulative Delta (Order Flow)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure:
• Bar Delta: Difference between buy and sell volume per candle
• Cumulative Delta: Sum of all bar deltas - shows net directional pressure
• Delta Moving Average: Smoothed delta (20-period) to identify trend
• Delta Divergences:
o Bullish: Price makes lower low, but delta makes higher low (absorption at bottom)
o Bearish: Price makes higher high, but delta makes lower high (exhaustion at top)
How It Works: When cumulative delta trends up while price consolidates, it signals accumulation. Delta divergences reveal when smart money is positioned opposite to retail expectations.
________________________________________
3. Large Order Detection
Identifies institutional-sized orders in real-time:
• Compares current bar volume to 20-period moving average
• Flags orders exceeding 2.5x average volume (configurable multiplier)
• Distinguishes bullish (green circles below) vs bearish (red circles above) large orders
Rationale: Sudden volume spikes at key levels indicate institutional participation - the "fuel" needed for breakouts or reversals.

Support & Resitance LinesIntroduction:
Support & Resistance levels are time consuming to mark on charts. They also must be maintained. If the user has multiple charts they analyze, this adds to the workload. This indicator attempts to automate that work flow for the user.
Description:
Psychological Support and Resistances
are marked with a horizontal ray and labeled.
Levels marked include the 1 Month, 1 Week, and the Daily.
If a candle closes on the marked levels, the horizontal ray marking that level will disappear.
Volume Based Support and Resistances [/i
With the fixed range volume profile tool, marked levels include the point of control(POC) and the Value Areas (VA). This includes both the Value Area Low (VAL) and the Value Area High (VAH). Levels marked include the 1 Year, 6 Month, and the 1 Month fixed range volume profile.
If a candle closes on the marked levels, the horizontal ray marking that level will disappear.
How to use:
1) Turn on indicator and make sure you are on the 1D time frame.
2) Find areas of high confluence and mark with rectangular box.
3) Once all areas are marked, turn off indicator to save CPU time.
4) It is now ready to use and you can scan the chart using multiple time frames.
Useful Tips:
1) Use this tool to see if these levels marked are respected in forward testing.
2) You can turn off labels and color code horizontal rays to make tool run more efficiently for the CPU.
3) Use RSI, MACD, Wave Trend with Crosses , or any other oscillator to identify divergences once price hits support & resistance. Observe if price reacts.
4) Confluence is key, the higher the confluence, the better.
Market Profile Dominance Analyzer# Market Profile Dominance Analyzer
## 📊 OVERVIEW
**Market Profile Dominance Analyzer** is an advanced multi-factor indicator that combines Market Profile methodology with composite dominance scoring to identify buyer and seller strength across higher timeframes. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that only show volume distribution, or simple buyer/seller indicators that only compare candle colors, this script integrates six distinct analytical components into a unified dominance measurement system.
This indicator helps traders understand **WHO controls the market** by analyzing price position relative to Market Profile key levels (POC, Value Area) combined with volume distribution, momentum, and trend characteristics.
## 🎯 WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
### **Hybrid Analytical Approach**
This indicator uniquely combines two separate methodologies that are typically analyzed independently:
1. **Market Profile Analysis** - Calculates Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) using volume distribution across price channels on higher timeframes
2. **Multi-Factor Dominance Scoring** - Weights six independent factors to produce a composite dominance index
### **Six-Factor Composite Analysis**
The dominance score integrates:
- Price position relative to POC (equilibrium assessment)
- Price position relative to Value Area boundaries (acceptance/rejection zones)
- Volume imbalance within Value Area (institutional bias detection)
- Price momentum (directional strength)
- Volume trend comparison (participation analysis)
- Normalized Value Area position (precise location within fair value zone)
### **Adaptive Higher Timeframe Integration**
The script features an intelligent auto-selection system that automatically chooses appropriate higher timeframes based on the current chart period, ensuring optimal Market Profile structure regardless of the trading timeframe being analyzed.
## 💡 HOW IT WORKS
### **Market Profile Construction**
The indicator builds a Market Profile structure on a higher timeframe by:
1. **Session Identification** - Detects new higher timeframe sessions using `request.security()` to ensure accurate period boundaries
2. **Data Accumulation** - Stores high, low, and volume data for all bars within the current higher timeframe session
3. **Channel Distribution** - Divides the session's price range into configurable channels (default: 20 rows)
4. **Volume Mapping** - Distributes each bar's volume proportionally across all price channels it touched
### **Key Level Calculation**
**Point of Control (POC)**
- Identifies the price channel with the highest accumulated volume
- Represents the price level where the most trading activity occurred
- Serves as a magnetic level where price often returns
**Value Area (VA)**
- Starts at POC and expands both upward and downward
- Includes channels until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default: 70%)
- Expansion algorithm compares adjacent volumes and prioritizes the direction with higher activity
- Defines the "fair value" zone where most market participants agreed to trade
### **Dominance Score Formula**
```
Dominance Score = (price_vs_poc × 10) +
(price_vs_va × 5) +
(volume_imbalance × 0.5) +
(price_momentum × 100) +
(volume_trend × 5) +
(va_position × 15)
```
**Component Breakdown:**
- **price_vs_poc**: +1 if above POC, -1 if below (shows which side of equilibrium)
- **price_vs_va**: +2 if above VAH, -2 if below VAL, 0 if inside VA
- **volume_imbalance**: Percentage difference between upper and lower VA volumes
- **price_momentum**: 5-period SMA of price change (directional acceleration)
- **volume_trend**: Compares 5-period vs 20-period volume averages
- **va_position**: Normalized position within Value Area (-1 to +1)
The composite score is then smoothed using EMA with configurable sensitivity to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness.
### **Market State Determination**
- **BUYERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance > +10 (bullish control)
- **SELLERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance < -10 (bearish control)
- **NEUTRAL**: Between -10 and +10 (balanced market)
## 📈 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### **Trend Identification**
- **Green background** indicates buyers are in control - look for long opportunities
- **Red background** indicates sellers are in control - look for short opportunities
- **Gray background** indicates neutral market - consider range-bound strategies
### **Signal Interpretation**
**Buy Signals** (green triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses above -10 from oversold conditions
- Previous state was not already bullish
- Suggests shift from seller to buyer control
**Sell Signals** (red triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses below +10 from overbought conditions
- Previous state was not already bearish
- Suggests shift from buyer to seller control
### **Value Area Context**
Monitor the information table (top-right) to understand market structure:
- **Price vs POC**: Shows if trading above/below equilibrium
- **Volume Imbalance**: Positive values favor buyers, negative favors sellers
- **Market State**: Current dominant force (BUYERS/SELLERS/NEUTRAL)
### **Multi-Timeframe Strategy**
The auto-timeframe feature analyzes higher timeframe structure:
- On 1-minute charts → analyzes 2-hour structure
- On 5-minute charts → analyzes Daily structure
- On 15-minute charts → analyzes Weekly structure
- On Daily charts → analyzes Yearly structure
This higher timeframe context helps avoid counter-trend trades against the dominant force.
### **Confluence Trading**
Strongest signals occur when multiple factors align:
1. Price above VAH + positive volume imbalance + buyers dominant = Strong bullish setup
2. Price below VAL + negative volume imbalance + sellers dominant = Strong bearish setup
3. Price at POC + neutral state = Potential breakout/breakdown pivot
## ⚙️ INPUT PARAMETERS

## 🔔 ALERTS
The indicator includes three alert conditions:
1. **Buyers Dominate** - Fires on buy signal crossovers
2. **Sellers Dominate** - Fires on sell signal crossovers
3. **Dominance Shift** - Fires when dominance crosses zero line
## 📊 BEST PRACTICES
### **Timeframe Selection**
- **Scalping (1-5min)**: Focus on 2H-4H dominance shifts
- **Day Trading (15-60min)**: Monitor Daily and Weekly structure
- **Swing Trading (4H-Daily)**: Track Weekly and Monthly dominance
### **Confirmation Strategies**
1. **Trend Following**: Enter in direction of dominance above/below ±20
2. **Reversal Trading**: Fade extreme readings beyond ±50 when diverging with price
3. **Breakout Trading**: Look for dominance expansion beyond ±30 with increasing volume
### **Risk Management**
- Avoid trading during NEUTRAL states (dominance between -10 and +10)
- Use POC levels as logical stop-loss placement
- Consider VAH/VAL as profit targets for mean reversion
## ⚠️ LIMITATIONS & WARNINGS
**Data Requirements**
- Requires sufficient historical data on current chart (minimum 100 bars recommended)
- Lower timeframes may show fewer bars per HTF session initially
- More accurate results after several complete HTF sessions have formed
**Not a Standalone System**
- This indicator analyzes market structure and participant control
- Should be combined with price action, support/resistance, and risk management
- Does not guarantee profitable trades - past dominance does not predict future results
**Repainting Characteristics**
- Higher timeframe levels (POC, VAH, VAL) update as new bars form within the session
- Dominance score recalculates with each new bar
- Historical signals remain fixed, but current session data is developing
**Volume Limitations**
- Uses exchange-provided volume data which varies by instrument type
- Forex and some CFDs use tick volume (not actual transaction volume)
- Most accurate on instruments with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto)
## 🔍 TECHNICAL NOTES
**Performance Optimization**
- Uses `max_bars_back=5000` for extended historical analysis
- Efficient array management prevents memory issues
- Automatic cleanup of session data on new period
**Calculation Method**
- Market Profile uses actual volume distribution, not TPO (Time Price Opportunity)
- Value Area expansion follows traditional Market Profile auction theory
- All calculations occur on the chart's current symbol and timeframe
## 📚 EDUCATIONAL VALUE

The buy signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bearish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle reclaims a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key support level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
Sell Signal Mechanics
The sell signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bullish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)

Price is near a key resistance level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
When to TAKE Signals
High Probability Buy Signals:
Signal appears AT or BELOW the VAL (Value Area Low)
Signal occurs at bullish order block confluence
Price is in LVN area below VAL (momentum acceleration zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% support
Multiple session POC levels provide support confluence
Previous session's VAL acting as current support
High Probability Sell Signals:
Signal appears AT or ABOVE the VAH (Value Area High)
Signal occurs at bearish order block confluence
Price is in HVN area above VAH (heavy resistance zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% resistance
Multiple session POC levels provide resistance confluence
Previous session's VAH acting as current resistance
When to AVOID Signals
Avoid Buy Signals When:
Signal appears ABOVE the VAH (buying into resistance)
Price is in HVN red zones (high volume resistance areas)
No clear support structure below current price
Volume profile shows heavy selling pressure (high bear percentages)
Signal occurs during low-volume periods between major sessions
Multiple bearish order blocks exist below current price
Avoid Sell Signals When:
Signal appears BELOW the VAL (selling into support)
Price is in LVN green zones (momentum could continue)
No clear resistance structure above current price
Volume profile shows heavy buying pressure (high bull percentages)
Signal occurs during Asian session ranges without clear direction
Multiple bullish order blocks exist above current price
Volume Profile Context for Signals
Understanding Bull/Bear Percentages:
70%+ Bull dominance at a level = Strong support expected
70%+ Bear dominance at a level = Strong resistance expected
50/50 Split = Neutral zone, less predictable
Use percentages to gauge conviction behind moves
POC (Point of Control) Interactions:
Signals above POC in uptrend = Higher probability
Signals below POC in downtrend = Higher probability
Signals against POC bias require extra confirmation
POC often acts as magnetic level for price return
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: VAL/VAH Bounce Strategy
Wait for price to approach VAL (support) or VAH (resistance)
Look for signal confirmation at these critical levels
Enter with tight stops beyond the Value Area
Target opposite boundary or next session's levels
Strategy 2: Order Block + Volume Confluence
Identify order block alignment with VAL/VAH
Wait for signal within the confluence zone
Enter on signal with stop beyond order block
Use LVN areas as acceleration zones for targets
Strategy 3: LVN/HVN Strategy
LVN (Green) Areas: "Go Zones" - expect quick price movement through low volume
HVN (Red) Areas: "Stop Zones" - expect resistance and potential reversals
NPOC Areas: "Fill Zones" - price often returns to fill single print gaps
Strategy 4: Multi-Session Analysis
Use Daily/Weekly for major structure context
Use 4H for intermediate levels
Use 1H for precise entry timing
Ensure all timeframes align before taking signals
Strategy 5: Fibonacci + Volume Profile
Buy signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAL
Sell signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAH
Use 88.6% level as final support/resistance before major moves
50% level often aligns with POC for confluence
Signal Quality Assessment
Grade A Signals (Highest Probability):
Signal at VAL/VAH with order block confluence
Fibonacci level alignment (61.8%, 78.6%)

Important Disclaimers
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for educational purposes. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals that guarantee profits. All trading involves substantial risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research, understand the risks involved, and consider consulting with qualified financial advisors before making trading decisions. The signals and analysis provided are based on historical price patterns and volume data, which may not predict future market movements accurately.
Best Practices
Never trade signals blindly - always consider volume profile context
Wait for confluence between multiple tools before entering
Respect the Value Area - avoid buying above VAH or selling below VAL
Use session context - Asian ranges vs London/NY breakouts
Practice proper risk management - position size based on signal quality
Understand the bigger picture - use multiple timeframes for context
Remember: Like the IDKFA cheat code, having all the tools doesn't guarantee success. The key is learning to use them together effectively and understanding when NOT to take a signal is often more important than knowing when to take one.
