Auto Chart PatternsAuto Chart Patterns automatically scans the chart for major technical patterns and marks them directly on price action. It detects:
• Head & Shoulders (bearish reversal)
• Inverse Head & Shoulders (bullish reversal)
• Rising and Falling Wedges
• Double / Triple Tops and Bottoms
• Cup & Handle (bullish continuation)
For each pattern, the script draws the structure (trendlines / neckline), shades the pattern zone, and places a label with the pattern name.
It also generates optional trade signals:
• “BUY” when a bullish pattern breaks out with confirmation
• “SELL” when a bearish pattern breaks down with confirmation
Confirmations can include:
• Follow-through candle in the breakout direction
• Volume spike vs recent average
• RSI momentum agreement
Inputs let you control:
• Pivot sensitivity (left/right bars)
• Pattern types to display
• Cup & Handle depth rules
• Confirmation rules for entry/exit signals
This tool is designed to help you visually spot reversal and continuation setups, highlight potential breakout levels (necklines / wedge boundaries), and time trades with clearer confirmation instead of guessing.

Volume Profile Area [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volume Profile Area is an advanced profiling tool that calculates and visualizes the value area within a chosen period’s volume distribution. It first builds a main profile of the entire range, then constructs a secondary profile inside the defined value area, allowing traders to examine market balance and key trading zones in greater detail.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Volume Profile – Distributes traded volume across price levels to highlight areas of market activity.
Value Area (VA) – The price range containing a chosen percentage of total volume (commonly 50–70%).
Point of Control (PoC) – The price level with the highest traded volume, often acting as a magnet for price.
Nested Profiles – A profile inside the VA adds a second layer of precision, showing where liquidity clusters within the “fair value” zone.
🔵 FEATURES
Main Profile – Full distribution of volume over the selected lookback period.
Secondary Profile – Built only inside the VA of the main profile, highlighting intrabalance structure.
Customizable PoC Selection – Choose between showing the PoC of the
Main Profile ,
the Area Profile ,
their Average ,
or None .
Dynamic Value Area Levels – Automatically plots VAL (Value Area Low) and VAH (Value Area High) with labels.
Overlay Toggles – Show/hide range extremes, VA lines, or PoCs for a cleaner chart view.
Visual Profiles – Main profile shaded in darker blue; the VA profile inside is lighter for clear separation.
Automatic Scaling – Profiles adapt to period highs/lows and auto-adjust bins for consistent resolution.
Volume Labels – PoCs can display traded volume, giving numeric confirmation of liquidity concentration.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Set the Period to define how many bars to include in the main profile.
Adjust the Value Area % to control how much volume defines the VA (e.g., 50% by default).
Pick your PoC option: Main , Area , or Average , depending on focus.
Use VAH/VAL lines as support/resistance levels where most trading occurred.
Compare reactions at Main vs VA PoC levels to spot potential breakouts or mean reversions.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Volume Profile Area extends traditional profiling by nesting a secondary VA profile inside the main distribution. This dual-layer approach reveals not just where the market was active overall, but where liquidity concentrated within the “fair value” zone—powerful for refining entries, exits, and risk placement across intraday and swing horizons.

Tips for Success
Use on 5-minute charts for day trading momentum plays
Only trade high volume stocks ($5-20 range works best)
Wait for full confirmation - don't jump early
Respect the stop loss - it's calculated based on volatility
Scale out at targets - don't hold for home runs
Avoid trading first 15 minutes - let market settle
Best during 10am-11am and 2pm-3pm - peak momentum times
Common Questions
Q: Why didn't I get a signal even though MACD crossed?
A: All conditions must be met - check dashboard for what's missing (likely volume or trend alignment)
Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?
A: Yes, but it's designed for 5-15 minute charts. On daily charts, adjust ATR multipliers higher.
Q: The stop loss seems too tight, can I widen it?
A: Yes, increase "Stop Loss (×ATR)" from 1.5 to 2.0 or 2.5 in settings.
Q: I keep seeing FAKE warnings but price keeps going - what gives?
A: The filter is conservative. You can disable some filters in settings, but expect more false signals.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Yes, but use larger timeframes (1H or 4H) and adjust ATR multipliers up (3× for stops, 6-9× for targets).
Smart Money Concept: FVG Block Filter Smart Money Concept: FVG Block Filter (FVG Block Range vs N Range) with Candle Highlighter
Summary:
Smart Money Concept (SMC): An advanced indicator designed to visualize and filter Fair Value Gaps (FVG) blocks based on their size (Range) compared to the preceding N Range candle movement. It also includes a customizable Candle Highlighter function that marks the specific candle responsible for creating the FVG. The indicator allows full color customization for both blocks and the highlighter, and features clean, label-free charts by default.
Key Features:
FVG Block Detection: Automatically identifies and groups sequential FVG imbalances to form consolidated FVG blocks.
FVG Block Filtering (N Range): Filters blocks based on a user-defined rule, comparing the block's size (Range) to the range of the preceding N candles (e.g., requiring the FVG block to be larger than the range of the previous 6 candles).
Customizable Candle Highlighter: Marks the central candle (B) within the FVG structure (A-B-C) to highlight the source of the price imbalance. Highlighter colors are fully adjustable via inputs.
Visualization Control: Labels are turned OFF by default to keep the chart clean but can be easily enabled via the indicator settings.
Full Color Customization: Allows independent customization of Bullish and Bearish FVG Block colors, Block Transparency, and Bullish/Bearish Highlighter colors.
Keywords:
Smart Money Concept, SMC, Fair Value Gap, FVG, Imbalance, Block Filter, Candle Highlighter, Range.
High Zone MapperHigh Zone and Low Zone Mapper — Quick Manual (Short-Term Trading)
Author: hkpress | Script date: 2025-10-26
This indicator draws: PDH/PDL (Prior Day High/Low), PWH/PWL (Prior Week High/Low), ORH/ORL (Opening Range High/Low), IDH/IDL (Intraday High/Low), plus a shaded Opening Range box.
I built this script after watching an interview on TradingLion with a Hong Kong trader who uses prior-day, opening-range, intraday, and prior-week levels to plan entries and exits. The approach is especially useful for traders who run tight stops (about 1.5%–3%) while aiming to size up into bigger positions. (Youtube: www.youtube.com)
1) Quick Start (15-minute default)
Timeframe: use 1–15m for scalps, 5–30m for intraday.
Opening Range (OR — Opening Range): default 15 minutes.
Turn on “Show OR lines while opening range builds” if you want to see ORH/ORL during the first 15 minutes.
Session mode:
Stocks → Use Trading Session = ON (RTH — Regular Trading Hours, e.g., 09:30–16:00).
Crypto/24h → Use Trading Session = OFF (day-start mode).
Visuals: enable PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, ORH/ORL, IDH/IDL, and the Opening Range box (fill).
2) What each line means
PDH/PDL (Prior Day High/Low): Yesterday’s extremes; frequent reaction zones.
PWH/PWL (Prior Week High/Low): Last week’s extremes; stronger “fences.”
ORH/ORL (Opening Range High/Low): High/low of the first 15 minutes by default; key breakout compass.
IDH/IDL (Intraday High/Low): Today’s high/low so far; confirms momentum after a break.
3) Short-Term Playbook (step-by-step)
A. Before the open
Note where price is vs PDH/PDL and PWH/PWL to set a bias.
Above PDH and pushing up → bullish lean.
Below PDL and slipping → bearish lean.
B. First 15 minutes (Opening Range forms)
Let the Opening Range box print (ORH top, ORL bottom).
Think of this box as the day’s first “battlefield.”
C. Breakout entries
Long: Clean break above ORH (preferably with momentum/volume).
Stop: just below ORH (aggressive) or below ORL (conservative).
Targets: step up through PDH → PWH.
Short: Clean break below ORL.
Stop: just above ORL (aggressive) or above ORH (conservative).
Targets: step down through PDL → PWL.
D. Retest entries (missed the first move?)
After a break, wait for a retest of ORH/ORL from the other side.
Enter on rejection/continuation; place stop on the opposite side of the retested level.
E. Momentum confirmation
New IDH (Intraday High) after an ORH break = trend strengthening (consider add/hold).
New IDL after an ORL break = downtrend strengthening.
Trail stops below higher lows (long) or above lower highs (short).
F. Range mode (no break yet)
If price stays inside the box, fade edges: buy near ORL, sell near ORH, until a decisive break.
4) Risk rules (keep it simple)
Aim for R:R (Risk-to-Reward) ≥ 1:2.
Set a daily max loss (e.g., 1–2R) and respect it.
Invalidation: if price breaks and then re-enters the box and holds, exit—don’t argue.
5) Quick example
The 15-minute OR prints: ORL = 100, ORH = 105.
Price breaks 106 with momentum → Long.
Stop 104.8 (below ORH) or 99.8 (below ORL).
Targets: PDH, then PWH. Trail as IDH keeps making new highs.
6) Handy tweaks
Noisy/news days: widen to 30-minute OR to reduce whipsaws.
Strong trend open: tighten to 5–10-minute OR to engage earlier.
Choppy session: stick to box-edge fades or stand aside after two failed breaks.
7) Built-in alerts to consider
“Break Above ORH / Below ORL” → entry triggers.
“New IDH / New IDL” → momentum confirms; tighten stops or scale.
“Break Above PDH / Below PDL / Above PWH / Below PWL” → target hits or bigger trend shifts.
8) Troubleshooting
No lines? Switch to an intraday timeframe (1–60m).
ORH/ORL missing? Turn ON Show OR lines while opening range builds.
Session mismatch? Use correct RTH hours, or turn session OFF for 24h symbols.

WaveTrend RBF What it does
WT-RBF extracts a “wave” of momentum by subtracting a fast Gaussian-weighted smoother from a slow one, then robust-normalizes that wave with a median/MAD proxy to produce a z-score (z). A short EMA of z forms the signal line. Optional dynamic thresholds use the MAD of z itself so overbought/oversold levels adapt to volatility regimes.
How it’s built:
Radial (Gaussian) smoothers
Causal, exponentially-decaying weights over the last radius bars using σ (sigma) to control spread.
fast = rbf_smooth(src, fastR, fastSig)
slow = rbf_smooth(src, slowR, slowSig)
wave = fast − slow (band-pass)
Robust normalization
A two-stage EMA approximates the median; MAD is estimated from EMA of absolute deviations and scaled by 1.4826 to be stdev-comparable.
z = (wave − center) / MAD
Thresholds
Dynamic OB/OS: ±2.5 × MAD(z) (or fixed levels when disabled)
Reading the indicator
Bull Cross: z crosses above sig → momentum turning up.
Bear Cross: z crosses below sig → momentum turning down.
Exits / Bias flips: zero-line crosses (below 0 → exit long bias; above 0 → exit short bias).
Overbought/Oversold: z > +thrOB or z < thrOS. With dynamics on, the bands widen/narrow with recent noise; with dynamics off, static guides at ±2 / ±2.5 are shown.
Core Inputs
Source: Price series to analyze.
Fast Radius / Fast Sigma (defaults 6 / 2.5): Shorter radius/smaller σ = snappier, higher-freq.
Slow Radius / Slow Sigma (defaults 14 / 5.0): Larger radius/σ = smoother, lower-freq baseline.
Normalization
Robust Z-Score Window (default 200): Lookback for median/MAD proxy (stability vs responsiveness).
Small ε for MAD: Floor to avoid division by zero.
Signal & Thresholds
Dynamic Thresholds (MAD-based) (on by default): Adaptive OB/OS; toggle off to use fixed guides.
Visuals
Shade OB/OS Regions: Background highlights when z is beyond thresholds.
Show Zero Line: Midline reference.
(“Plot Cross Markers” input is present for future use.)

Silver: TVC:SILVER
Formula:
SPX / Silver
(Both are spot/index prices, updated on daily timeframe)
📈 Interpretation:
📈 Ratio Rising → SPX outperforming Silver → Risk-on sentiment
📉 Ratio Falling → Silver outperforming SPX → Possible flight to safety or inflation hedge
🧠 Ideal For:
Macro trend analysis
Intermarket strategy development
Asset rotation decision-making
Spotting Silver bottoms during SPX/Silver peak zones
Dual ORB (EU/US) + VWAP + Filters (Retest/EMA/ATR/RVOL)Release Notes — Dual ORB (EU & US) + Color VWAP
Summary
This script plots two configurable Opening Range Breakouts (ORB)—one for the European open and one for the US open—along with a color-adaptive VWAP (green above price, red below). It’s designed for M5/M15 intraday trading on indices (e.g., US100) and metals (e.g., XAUUSD), with clean visuals, optional history retention, and simple breakout cues.
New & Key Features
Dual ORB Sessions
EU ORB (default 07:00) and US ORB (default 14:00).
Each session’s start time and duration are configurable (15/30/45/60 min).

Configurable Time Zone
Choose a specific UTC offset or an IANA time zone (e.g., Europe/Paris, America/New_York) for precise session timing.
“Exchange” option mirrors the chart’s exchange time when available.
Targets (1× Range by default)
First upside/downside target plotted as a step line once the OR closes (based on a % of the OR width).
Separate % settings per session (EU/US).
Breakout Signals
Optional ▲ / ▼ markers when price crosses ORH/ORL after the OR window closes.
Adjustable signal size and colors.
Color-Adaptive VWAP
VWAP plotted for the whole session; green when price ≥ VWAP, red when price < VWAP.
Single slider for VWAP line thickness and a toggle to show/hide.
Clean Visuals & History Control

Alerts (baseline)
Signal labels visually indicate ORH/ORL breaks. (You can add alertconditions to match these crossings if you want audible/Push alerts.)
Performance & Compatibility
Pine v6.
Intraday only (< 1D). The script aborts on daily or higher timeframes to avoid misleading OR timing.
Efficient drawing & clean-up to reduce line/label count.
Known Limitations
The script relies on bar timestamps; exact alignment depends on chart data and your chosen time zone
If your broker/exchange applies session gaps or custom trading hours, verify that your time zone and session align with the instrument.
Suggested Workflow
Pick your time zone.
Set EU/US start times and durations to match your plan (e.g., EU 07:00 30m, US 14:00 30m).
Choose whether to keep history.
Toggle signals and VWAP as desired.
Use ORH/ORL and the first target as decision levels; combine with your filter (trend MA, RSI, market structure, etc.).

HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED
SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY
Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET
Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for:
CRYPTO (volatile):
- Length 1: 15
- Length 2: 35
- Smoothing: 8
(Faster response for rapid price movements)
STOCKS (standard):
- Length 1: 23
- Length 2: 50
- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:
✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending
Scalper:
✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps
✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS
ON THE CHART:
Labels appear when conditions are met:
Green labels:
- "LONG A" — Setup A long entry
- "LONG B DIV" — Setup B divergence long (best signal)
- "LONG C" — Setup C bounce long
Red labels:
- "SHORT A" — Setup A short entry
- "SHORT B DIV" — Setup B divergence short (best signal)
- "SHORT C" — Setup C bounce short
IN THE INDICATOR PANEL (bottom):
- Blue line = Primary timeframe STC
- Orange dots = Higher timeframe STC (optional)
- Green/Red bars = Force Index histogram
- Dashed lines at 25/75 = Entry/Exit zones
- Background shading = Oversold (green) / Overbought (red)
INFO TABLE (top-right corner):
Shows real-time status:
- STC values for both timeframes
- Force Index direction
- Price position vs EMA
- Current trend direction
- Active signal type
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING STRATEGY & RISK MANAGEMENT
ENTRY RULES:
Priority ranking (best to worst):
1st: Setup B (Divergence) — wait for these
2nd: Setup A (Classic) — in confirmed trends only
3rd: Setup C (Bounce) — scalping only
Confirmation checklist before entry:
☑ Signal label appears on chart
☑ TREND in info table matches signal direction
☑ Higher timeframe STC aligned (check orange dots or table)
☑ Force Index confirming (check histogram color)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STOP LOSS PLACEMENT:
Setup A (Classic):
- LONG: Below recent swing low
- SHORT: Above recent swing high
- Typical: 1-2 ATR distance
Setup B (Divergence):
- LONG: Below the divergence low
- SHORT: Above the divergence high
- Typical: 0.5-1.5 ATR distance
Setup C (Bounce):
- LONG: 5-10 pips below EMA50
- SHORT: 5-10 pips above EMA50
- Typical: 0.3-0.8 ATR distance
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TAKE PROFIT TARGETS:
Conservative approach:
- Exit when STC reaches opposite level
- LONG: Exit when STC > 75
- SHORT: Exit when STC < 25
Aggressive approach:
- Hold until opposite signal appears
- Trail stop as STC moves in your favor
Partial profits:
- Take 50% at 1:2 risk/reward
- Let remaining 50% run to target
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO AVOID:
❌ Trading Setup A in sideways/choppy markets
→ Wait for clear trend or use Setup B only
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe STC
→ Always check orange dots align with your direction
❌ Taking signals against the major trend
→ If weekly trend is down, be cautious with longs
❌ Overtrading Setup C
→ Maximum 2-3 bounce trades per session
❌ Trading during low volume periods
→ Force Index becomes unreliable
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

EXAMPLE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
SETUP B DIVERGENCE LONG EXAMPLE:
1. Market Context:
- Price in downtrend, below 50 EMA
- Multiple lower lows forming
- STC below 25 (oversold)
2. Divergence Formation:
- Price makes new low at $45.20
- Force Index refuses to make new low (higher low forms)
- This indicates selling pressure weakening
3. Signal Trigger:
- STC starts turning up
- Force Index crosses above zero
- Label appears: "LONG B DIV"
4. Trade Execution:
- Entry: $45.50 (current price at signal)
- Stop Loss: $44.80 (below divergence low)
- Target 1: $47.90 (STC reaches 75) — risk/reward 1:3.4
- Target 2: Opposite signal or trail stop
5. Trade Management:
- Price rallies to $47.20
- STC reaches 68 (approaching target zone)
- Take 50% profit, move stop to breakeven
- Exit remaining at $48.10 when STC crosses 75
Result: 3.7R gain
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TIPS
1. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
For highest probability trades, wait for:
- Primary TF signal
- Higher TF STC aligned (>25 for longs, <75 for shorts)
- Even higher TF trend in same direction (manual check)
2. VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Watch the Force Index histogram:
- Increasing bar size = Strengthening momentum
- Decreasing bar size = Weakening momentum
- Use this to gauge signal strength
3. AVOID THESE MARKET CONDITIONS
- Major news events (Force Index becomes erratic)
- Market open first 30 minutes (volatility spikes)
- Low liquidity instruments (Force Index unreliable)
- Extreme trending days (wait for pullbacks)
4. COMBINE WITH SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Best signals occur near:
- Key horizontal levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Previous day's high/low
- Psychological round numbers
5. SESSION AWARENESS
- Asia session: Use lower timeframes, Setup C works well
- London session: Setup A and B both effective
- New York session: All setups work, highest volume

IIR One-Pole Price Filter [BackQuant]IIR One-Pole Price Filter
A lightweight, mathematically grounded smoothing filter derived from signal processing theory, designed to denoise price data while maintaining minimal lag. It provides a refined alternative to the classic Exponential Moving Average (EMA) by directly controlling the filter’s responsiveness through three interchangeable alpha modes: EMA-Length , Half-Life , and Cutoff-Period .
Concept overview
An IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter is a type of recursive filter that blends current and past input values to produce a smooth, continuous output. The "one-pole" version is its simplest form, consisting of a single recursive feedback loop that exponentially decays older price information. This makes it both memory-efficient and responsive , ideal for traders seeking a precise balance between noise reduction and reaction speed.
Unlike standard moving averages, the IIR filter can be tuned in physically meaningful terms (such as half-life or cutoff frequency) rather than just arbitrary periods. This allows the trader to think about responsiveness in the same way an engineer or physicist would interpret signal smoothing.
Why use it
Filters out market noise without introducing heavy lag like higher-order smoothers.
Adapts to various trading speeds and time horizons by changing how alpha (responsiveness) is parameterized.
Provides consistent and mathematically interpretable control of smoothing, suitable for both discretionary and algorithmic systems.
Can serve as the core component in adaptive strategies, volatility normalization, or trend extraction pipelines.
Alpha Modes Explained
EMA-Length : Classic exponential decay with alpha = 2 / (L + 1). Equivalent to a standard EMA but exposed directly for fine control.
Half-Life : Defines the number of bars it takes for the influence of a price input to decay by half. More intuitive for time-domain analysis.
Cutoff-Period : Inspired by analog filter theory, defines the cutoff frequency (in bars) beyond which price oscillations are heavily attenuated. Lower periods = faster response.
Formula in plain terms
Each bar updates as:
yₜ = yₜ₋₁ + alpha × (priceₜ − yₜ₋₁)
Where alpha is the smoothing coefficient derived from your chosen mode.
Smaller alpha → smoother but slower response.
Larger alpha → faster but noisier response.
Practical application
Trend detection : When the filter line rises, momentum is positive; when it falls, momentum is negative.
Signal timing : Use the crossover of the filter vs its previous value (or price) as an entry/exit condition.
Noise suppression : Apply on volatile assets or lower timeframes to remove flicker from raw price data.
Foundation for advanced filters : The one-pole IIR serves as a building block for multi-pole cascades, adaptive smoothers, and spectral filters.
Customization options
Alpha Scale : Multiplies the final alpha to fine-tune aggressiveness without changing the mode’s core math.
Color Painting : Candles can be painted green/red by trend direction for visual clarity.
Line Width & Transparency : Adjust the visual intensity to integrate cleanly with your charting style.
Interpretation tips
A smooth yet reactive line implies optimal tuning — minimal delay with reduced false flips.
A sluggish line suggests alpha is too small (increase responsiveness).
A noisy, twitchy line means alpha is too large (increase smoothing).
Half-life tuning often feels more natural for aligning filter speed with price cycles or bar duration.
Summary
The IIR One-Pole Price Filter is a signal smoother that merges simplicity with mathematical rigor. Whether you’re filtering for entry signals, generating trend overlays, or constructing larger multi-stage systems, this filter delivers stability, clarity, and precision control over noise versus lag, an essential tool for any quantitative or systematic trading approach.
Arnaud Legoux Gaussian Flow | AlphaNattArnaud Legoux Gaussian Flow | AlphaNatt
A sophisticated trend-following and mean-reversion indicator that combines the power of the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) with advanced Gaussian distribution analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
🎯 What Makes This Indicator Unique?
This indicator goes beyond traditional moving averages by incorporating Gaussian mathematics at multiple levels:
ALMA uses Gaussian distribution for superior price smoothing with minimal lag
Dynamic envelopes based on Gaussian probability zones
Multi-layer gradient visualization showing probability density
Adaptive envelope modes that respond to market conditions
📊 Core Components
1. Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
The ALMA is a highly responsive moving average that uses Gaussian distribution to weight price data. Unlike simple moving averages, ALMA can be fine-tuned to balance responsiveness and smoothness through three key parameters:
ALMA Period: Controls the lookback window (default: 21)
Gaussian Offset: Shifts the Gaussian curve to adjust lag vs. responsiveness (default: 0.85)
Gaussian Sigma: Controls the width of the Gaussian distribution (default: 6.0)
2. Gaussian Envelope System
The indicator features three envelope calculation modes:
Fixed Mode: Uses ATR-based fixed width for consistent envelope sizing
Adaptive Mode: Dynamically adjusts based on price acceleration and volatility
Hybrid Mode: Combines ATR and standard deviation for balanced adaptation
The envelopes represent statistical probability zones. Price moving beyond these zones suggests potential mean reversion opportunities.
3. Momentum-Adjusted Envelopes
The envelope width automatically expands during strong trends and contracts during consolidation, providing context-aware support and resistance levels.
⚡ Key Features
Multi-Layer Gradient Visualization
The indicator displays 10 gradient layers between the ALMA and envelope boundaries, creating a visual "heat map" of probability density. This helps traders quickly assess:
Distance from the mean
Potential support/resistance strength
Overbought/oversold conditions in context
Dynamic Color Coding
Cyan gradient: Price below ALMA (bullish zone)
Magenta gradient: Price above ALMA (bearish zone)
The ALMA line itself changes color based on price position
Trend Regime Detection
The indicator automatically identifies market regimes:
Strong Uptrend: Trend strength > 0.5% with price above ALMA
Strong Downtrend: Trend strength < -0.5% with price below ALMA
Weak trends and ranging conditions
📈 Trading Strategies
Mean Reversion Strategy
Look for price entering the extreme Gaussian zones (beyond 95% of envelope width) when trend strength is moderate. These represent statistical extremes where mean reversion is probable.
Signals:
Long: Price in lower Gaussian zone with trend strength > -0.5%
Short: Price in upper Gaussian zone with trend strength < 0.5%
Trend Continuation Strategy
Enter when price crosses the ALMA during confirmed strong trend conditions, riding momentum while using the envelope as a trailing stop reference.
Signals:
Long: Price crosses above ALMA during strong uptrend
Short: Price crosses below ALMA during strong downtrend
🎨 Visualization Guide
The gradient layers create a "probability cloud" around the ALMA:
Darker shades (near ALMA): High probability zone - price tends to stay here
Lighter shades (near envelope edges): Lower probability - potential reversal zones
Price at envelope extremes: Statistical outliers - strongest mean reversion setups
⚙️ Customization Options
ALMA Parameters
Adjust period for different timeframes (lower for day trading, higher for swing trading)
Modify offset to tune responsiveness vs. smoothness
Change sigma to control distribution width
Envelope Configuration
Choose envelope mode based on market characteristics
Adjust multiplier to match instrument volatility
Modify gradient depth for visual preference (5-15 layers)
Signal Enhancement
Momentum Length: Lookback for trend strength calculation
Signal Smoothing: Additional EMA smoothing to reduce noise
🔔 Built-in Alerts
The indicator includes six pre-configured alert conditions:
ALMA Trend Long - Price crosses above ALMA in strong uptrend
ALMA Trend Short - Price crosses below ALMA in strong downtrend
Mean Reversion Long - Price enters lower Gaussian zone
Mean Reversion Short - Price enters upper Gaussian zone
Strong Uptrend Detected - Momentum confirms strong bullish regime
Strong Downtrend Detected - Momentum confirms strong bearish regime
💡 Best Practices
Use on clean, liquid markets with consistent volatility
Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
Adjust envelope multiplier based on backtesting for your specific instrument
Higher timeframes (4H+) generally provide more reliable signals
Use adaptive mode for trending markets, hybrid for mixed conditions
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator works best in markets with normal price distribution
Extreme news events can invalidate Gaussian assumptions temporarily
Always use proper risk management - no indicator is perfect
Backtest parameters on your specific instrument and timeframe
🔬 Technical Background
The Arnaud Legoux Moving Average was developed to solve the classic dilemma of moving averages: the trade-off between lag and noise. By applying Gaussian distribution weighting, ALMA achieves superior smoothing while maintaining responsiveness to price changes.
The envelope system extends this concept by creating probability zones based on volatility and momentum, effectively mapping where price is "likely" vs "unlikely" to be found based on statistical principles.

Advanced HMM - 3 States CompleteHidden Markov Model
Aconsistent challenge for quantitative traders is the frequent behaviour modification of financial
markets, often abruptly, due to changing periods of government policy, regulatory environment
and other macroeconomic effects. Such periods are known as market regimes. Detecting such
changes is a common, albeit difficult, process undertaken by quantitative market participants.
These various regimes lead to adjustments of asset returns via shifts in their means, variances,
autocorrelation and covariances. This impacts the effectiveness of time series methods that rely
on stationarity. In particular it can lead to dynamically-varying correlation, excess kurtosis ("fat
tails"), heteroskedasticity (volatility clustering) and skewed returns.
There is a clear need to effectively detect these regimes. This aids optimal deployment of
quantitative trading strategies and tuning the parameters within them. The modeling task then
becomes an attempt to identify when a new regime has occurred adjusting strategy deployment,
risk management and position sizing criteria accordingly.
A principal method for carrying out regime detection is to use a statistical time series tech
nique known as a Hidden Markov Model . These models are well-suited to the task since they
involve inference on "hidden" generative processes via "noisy" indirect observations correlated
to these processes. In this instance the hidden, or latent, process is the underlying regime state,
while the asset returns are the indirect noisy observations that are influenced by these states.

Match on Selectable Percentage Change + RangeIndicator Overview:
Match on Selectable Percentage Change + Range is a powerful analytical tool designed for traders and analysts who want to identify historical price bars that match a specific percentage variation, and then evaluate how price evolved in the following days. It combines precision filtering with visual tabular feedback, making it ideal for pattern recognition, backtesting, and scenario analysis.
What It Does
This indicator scans historical bars to find instances where the percentage change between two consecutive closes matches a user-defined target (± a customizable tolerance). Once matches are found, it displays:
The date of each match (most recent first)
The actual variation searched
The percentage change after 2, 10, 20, and 30 bars
The min-max range (in %) over those same periods
All results are shown in a dynamic table directly on the chart.
Inputs & Controls
Input Description
Which variation do you want to analyze? (%)
Set the target percentage change to look for (e.g. 2.5%)
% deviation from the variation to be considered (%) Define the tolerance range around the target (e.g. ±0.5%)
Bars to analyze (max 9999) Set how many past bars to scan
Show match table Toggle to enable/disable the entire table
Show percentage variations (2d, 10d, 20d, 30d) Toggle to show/hide post-match percentage changes
Show min-max ranges (2d, 10d, 20d, 30d) Toggle to show/hide post-match high/low ranges
Table Structure
Each row in the table represents a historical match. Columns include:
Date: When the match occurred
Variation in: The actual % change that triggered the match
2d / 10d / 20d / 30d: % change after those days
Min-Max 2d / 10d / 20d / 30d: Range of price movement after those days
Color coding helps quickly identify bullish (green) vs bearish (red) outcomes.
Use Cases
Backtesting: See how similar past moves evolved over time
Scenario modeling: Estimate potential outcomes after a known variation
Pattern recognition: Spot recurring setups or volatility clusters
Risk analysis: Understand post-variation drawdowns and upside potential
Tips for Use
Use tighter deviation (e.g. 0.3%) for precision, or wider (e.g. 1%) for broader pattern capture.
Combine with other indicators to validate setups (e.g. volume, RSI, trend filters).
Toggle off variation or range columns to focus only on the metrics you need.

Luxy Adaptive MA Cloud - Trend Strength & Signal Tracker V2Luxy Adaptive MA Cloud - Professional Trend Strength & Signal Tracker
Next-generation moving average cloud indicator combining ultra-smooth gradient visualization with intelligent momentum detection. Built for traders who demand clarity, precision, and actionable insights.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR SPECIAL?
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Unlike traditional MA indicators that show static lines, Luxy Adaptive MA Cloud creates a living, breathing visualization of market momentum. Here's what sets it apart:
Exponential Gradient Technology
This isn't just a simple fill between two lines. It's a professionally engineered gradient system with 26 precision layers using exponential density distribution. The result? An organic, cloud-like appearance where the center is dramatically darker (15% transparency - where crossovers and price action occur), while edges fade gracefully (75% transparency). Think of it as a visual "heat map" of trend strength.
Dynamic Momentum Intelligence
Most MA clouds only show structure (which MA is on top). This indicator shows momentum strength in real-time through four intelligent states:
- 🟢 Bright Green = Explosive bullish momentum (both MAs rising strongly)
- 🔵 Blue = Weakening bullish (structure intact, but momentum fading)
- 🟠 Orange = Caution zone (bearish structure forming, weak momentum)
- 🔴 Deep Red = Strong bearish momentum (both MAs falling)
The cloud literally tells you when trends are accelerating or losing steam.
Conditional Performance Architecture
Every calculation is optimized for speed. Disable a feature? It stops calculating entirely—not just hidden, but not computed . The 26-layer gradient only renders when enabled. Toggle signals off? Those crossover checks don't run. This makes it one of the most efficient cloud indicators available, even with its advanced visual system.
Zero Repaint Guarantee
All signals and momentum states are based on confirmed bar data only . What you see in historical data is exactly what you would have seen trading live. No lookahead bias. No repainting tricks. No signals that "magically" appear perfect in hindsight. If a signal shows in history, it would have triggered in real-time at that exact moment.
Educational by Design
Every single input includes comprehensive tooltips with:
- Clear explanations of what each parameter does
- Practical examples of when to use different settings
- Recommended configurations for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
- Real-world trading impact ("This affects entry timing" vs "This is visual only")
You're not just getting an indicator—you're learning how to use it effectively .
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
THE GRADIENT CLOUD - TECHNICAL DETAILS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Architecture:
26 precision layers for silk-smooth transitions
Exponential density curve - layers packed tightly near center (where crossovers happen), spread wider at edges
75%-15% transparency range - center is highly opaque (15%), edges fade gracefully (75%)
V-Gradient design - emphasizes the action zone between Fast and Medium MAs
The Four Momentum States:
🟢 GREEN - Strong Bullish
Fast MA above Medium MA
Both MAs rising with momentum > 0.02%
Action: Enter/hold LONG positions, strong uptrend confirmed
🔵 BLUE - Weak Bullish
Fast MA above Medium MA
Weak or flat momentum
Action: Caution - bullish structure but losing strength, consider trailing stops
🟠 ORANGE - Weak Bearish
Medium MA above Fast MA
Weak or flat momentum
Action: Warning - bearish structure developing, consider exits
🔴 RED - Strong Bearish
Medium MA above Fast MA
Both MAs falling with momentum < -0.02%
Action: Enter/hold SHORT positions, strong downtrend confirmed
Smooth Transitions: The momentum score is smoothed using an 8-bar EMA to eliminate noise and prevent whipsaws. You see the true trend , not every minor fluctuation.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
FLEXIBLE MOVING AVERAGE SYSTEM
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Three Customizable MAs:
Fast MA (default: EMA 10) - Reacts quickly to price changes, defines short-term momentum
Medium MA (default: EMA 20) - Balances responsiveness with stability, core trend reference
Slow MA (default: SMA 200, optional) - Long-term trend filter, major support/resistance
Six MA Types Available:
EMA - Exponential; faster response, ideal for momentum and day trading
SMA - Simple; smooth and stable, best for swing trading and trend following
WMA - Weighted; middle ground between EMA and SMA
VWMA - Volume-weighted; reflects market participation, useful for liquid markets
RMA - Wilder's smoothing; used in RSI/ADX, excellent for trend filters
HMA - Hull; extremely responsive with minimal lag, aggressive option
Recommended Settings by Trading Style:
Scalping (1m-5m):
Fast: EMA(5-8)
Medium: EMA(10-15)
Slow: Not needed or EMA(50)
Day Trading (5m-1h):
Fast: EMA(10-12)
Medium: EMA(20-21)
Slow: SMA(200) for bias
Swing Trading (4h-1D):
Fast: EMA(10-20)
Medium: EMA(34-50)
Slow: SMA(200)
Pro Tip: Start with Fast < Medium < Slow lengths. The gradient works best when there's clear separation between Fast and Medium MAs.

HOW TO USE - PRACTICAL TRADING GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
STRATEGY 1: Trend Following
Identify trend : Wait for GREEN (bullish) or RED (bearish) cloud
Enter on signal : Golden Cross in GREEN cloud = LONG, Death Cross in RED cloud = SHORT
Hold position : While cloud maintains color
Exit signals :
• Cloud turns ORANGE/BLUE = momentum weakening, tighten stops
• Opposite crossover = close position
• Cloud turns opposite color = full reversal
STRATEGY 2: Pullback Entries
Confirm trend : GREEN cloud established (bullish bias)
Wait for pullback : Price touches or crosses below Fast MA
Enter when : Price rebounds back above Fast MA with cloud still GREEN
Stop loss : Below Medium MA or recent swing low
Target : Previous high or when cloud weakens
STRATEGY 3: Momentum Confirmation
Your setup triggers : (e.g., chart pattern, support/resistance)
Check cloud color :
• GREEN = proceed with LONG
• RED = proceed with SHORT
• BLUE/ORANGE = skip or reduce size
Use gradient as confluence : Not as primary signal, but as momentum filter
Risk Management Tips:
Never enter against the cloud color (don't LONG in RED cloud)
Reduce position size during BLUE/ORANGE (transition periods)
Place stops beyond Medium MA for swing trades
Use Slow MA (200) as final trend filter - don't SHORT above it in uptrends

PRO Scalper(EN)
## What it is
**PRO Scalper** is an intraday price–action and liquidity map that helps you see where the market is likely to move **now**, not just where it has been.
It combines five building blocks that professional scalpers often watch together:
1. **Session Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP)** — the intraday “fair value” anchor.
2. **Opening Range** — the first minutes of the session that set the day’s balance.
3. **Trend filter** — higher-timeframe bias using **Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)** and optional **Average Directional Index (ADX)** strength.
4. **Two independent Supply/Demand zone engines** — zones are drawn from confirmed swing pivots, with midlines and **touch counters**.
5. **Order-flow style visuals**:
* **Delta bubbles** (green/red circles) show where buying or selling pressure was unusually strong, using a safe **delta proxy** (no external feeds).
* **Liquidity densities** (subtle rectangular bands) highlight clusters of large activity that often act as magnets or barriers and disappear when “eaten” by strong moves.
This mix gives you a **complete intraday picture**: the mean (VWAP), the day’s initial balance (Opening Range), the higher-timeframe push (trend filter), the nearby fuel or brakes (zones), and the live pressure points (bubbles and densities).
---
## Why these components
* **VWAP** tracks where the bulk of traded value sits. Price tends to rotate around it or accelerate away from it — a perfect compass for scalps.
* **Opening Range** frames the early auction. Many intraday breaks, fades and retests start at its boundaries.
* **EMA bias + ADX strength** separates trending conditions from chop, so you can keep only the zones that agree with the bigger push.
* **Pivot-based zones (two pairs at once)** are simple, objective and fast. Midlines help with confirmations; touch counters quantify how many times the zone was tested.
* **Bubbles and densities** add the “effort” layer: where the push appeared and where liquidity is concentrated. You see **where** a move is likely to continue or fail.
Together they reduce ambiguity: **context + level + effort** — all on one screen.
---
## How it works (plain language)
* **VWAP** resets each day and is calculated as the cumulative sum of typical price multiplied by volume divided by total volume.
* **Opening Range** is either automatic (a multiple of your chart timeframe) or a manual number of minutes. While it is forming, the highest high and lowest low are captured and plotted as the range.
* **Trend filter**
* **EMA Fast** and **EMA Slow** define directional bias.
* **ADX (optional)** adds “trend strength”: only when the Average Directional Index is above the chosen threshold do we treat the move as strong. You can source this from a higher timeframe.
* **Zones**
* There are **two independent pairs** of pivots at the same time (for example 10-left 10-right and 5-left 5-right).
* Each detected pivot creates a **Supply** (from a swing high) or **Demand** (from a swing low) box. Box depth = **zone depth × Average True Range** for adaptive sizing; the boxes **extend forward**.
* Midline (optional dashed line inside the box) is the “balance” of the zone.
* **“Only in trend”** mode can hide boxes that go against the higher-timeframe bias.
* The **touch counter** increases when price revisits the box. Labels show the pair name and the number of touches.
* **Bubbles**
* A safe **delta proxy** measures bar pressure (for example, range-weighted close vs open).
* A **quantile filter** shows only unusually large pressure: choose lookback and percentile, and the script draws a circle sized by intensity (green = bullish pressure, red = bearish).
* **Densities**
* The script marks heavy activity clusters as **subtle bands** around price (depth = fraction of Average True Range).
* If price **breaks** a density with volume above its moving average, the band **disappears** (“eaten”), which often precedes continuation.
---
## How to use — practical playbooks
> Recommended chart: crypto or index futures, one to five minutes. Use **one hour** or **fifteen minutes** for the higher-timeframe bias.
### 1) Trend pullback scalp (continuation)
1. Enable **Only in trend** zones.
2. In an uptrend: wait for a pullback into a **Demand** zone that overlaps with VWAP or sits just below the Opening Range midpoint.
3. Look for **green bubbles** near the zone’s bottom or a fresh **density** under price.
4. Enter on a candle closing **back above the zone midline**.
5. Stop-loss: below the bottom of the zone or a small multiple of Average True Range.
6. Targets: previous swing high, Opening Range high, fixed risk multiples, or VWAP.
Mirror the logic for downtrends using Supply zones, red bubbles and densities above price.
### 2) Reversion with liquidity sweep (fade)
1. Bias neutral or countertrend allowed.
2. Price **wicks through** a zone boundary (or an Opening Range line) and **closes back inside** the zone.
3. The bubble color often flips (absorption).
4. Enter toward the **inside** of the zone; stop beyond the sweep wick; first target = zone midline, second = opposite side of the zone or VWAP.
### 3) Opening Range break and retest
1. Wait for the Opening Range to complete.
2. A break with a large bubble suggests intent.
3. Look for a **retest** into a nearby zone aligned with VWAP.
4. Trade continuation toward the next zone or the session extremes.
### 4) Density “eaten” continuation
1. When a density band **disappears** on high volume, it often means the resting liquidity was consumed.
2. Trade in the direction of the break, toward the nearest opposing zone.

---
## Tips and risk management
* This script **does not use external order-flow feeds**. Delta is a **proxy** suitable for TradingView; tune quantiles per symbol and timeframe.
* Do not trade every bubble. Combine **context (trend + VWAP + Opening Range)** with **level (zone)** and **effort (bubble/density)**.
* Set stop-losses beyond the zone or at a fraction of Average True Range. Predefine risk per trade.
* Backtest your rules with a strategy script before using real funds.
* Markets differ. Parameters that work on Bitcoin may not transfer to low-liquidity altcoins or stocks.
* Nothing here is financial advice. Scalping is high-risk; slippage and over-trading can quickly damage your account.
---
## What makes PRO Scalper unique
* Two **independent** zone engines run in parallel, so you can see both **larger structure** and **fine intraday levels** at the same time.
* Clean **“only in trend” rendering** — zones and midlines against the bias can be hidden, reducing clutter and hesitation.
* **Touch counters** convert “feel” into numbers.
* **Self-contained order-flow visuals** (bubbles and densities) that require no extra data sources.
* Careful defaults: subtle colors for densities, clearer zones, and responsive auto Opening Range.

(RU)
## Что это такое
**PRO Scalper** — это индикатор для внутридневной торговли, который показывает **контекст и ликвидность прямо сейчас**.
Он объединяет пять модулей, которыми профессиональные скальперы пользуются вместе:
1. **VWAP** — средневзвешенная по объему цена за сессию, «справедливая стоимость» дня.
2. **Opening Range** — первая часть сессии, задающая баланс дня.
3. **Фильтр тренда** — направление старшего таймфрейма по **экспоненциальным средним** и при желании по силе тренда **Average Directional Index**.
4. **Две независимые системы зон спроса/предложения** — зоны строятся от подтвержденных экстремумов (пивотов), имеют **среднюю линию** и **счетчик касаний**.
5. **Визуализация «ордер-флоу»**:
* **Пузыри дельты** (зеленые/красные круги) — места повышенного покупательного/продажного давления, рассчитанные через безопасный **прокси-дельты**.
* **Плотности ликвидности** (ненавязчивые прямоугольные ленты) — скопления объема, которые нередко притягивают цену или удерживают ее и исчезают, когда «разъедаются» сильным движением.
Итог — **полная картинка момента**: среднее (VWAP), баланс дня (Opening Range), старшая сила (фильтр тренда), ближайшие уровни топлива/тормозов (зоны), текущие точки усилия (пузыри и плотности).
---
## Почему именно эти элементы
* **VWAP** показывает, где сосредоточена стоимость; цена либо вращается вокруг него, либо быстро уходит — идеальный ориентир скальпера.
* **Opening Range** фиксирует ранний аукцион — от его границ часто начинаются пробои, возвраты и ретесты.
* **EMA + ADX** отделяют тренд от «пилы», позволяя оставлять на графике только зоны по направлению старшего таймфрейма.
* **Зоны от пивотов** просты, объективны и быстры; средняя линия помогает подтверждать разворот, счетчик касаний переводит субъективность в цифры.
* **Пузыри и плотности** добавляют слой «усилия»: где именно возник толчок и где сконцентрирована ликвидность.
Комбинация **контекста + уровня + усилия** уменьшает двусмысленность и ускоряет принятие решения.
---
## Как это работает (простыми словами)
* **VWAP** каждый день стартует заново: сумма «типичной цены × объем» делится на суммарный объем.
* **Opening Range** — автоматический (кратный минутам вашего таймфрейма) или вручную заданный период; пока он формируется, фиксируются максимум и минимум.
* **Фильтр тренда**
* Две экспоненциальные средние задают направление.
* **ADX** (по желанию) добавляет «силу». Источник можно взять со старшего таймфрейма.
* **Зоны**
* Одновременно работает **две пары** пивотов (например 10-лево 10-право и 5-лево 5-право).
* От пивота строится зона **предложения** (от максимума) или **спроса** (от минимума). Глубина зоны = **коэффициент × Average True Range**; зона тянется вперед.
* Внутри рисуется **средняя линия** (по желанию).
* Режим **«только по тренду»** скрывает зоны против старшего направления.
* **Счетчик касаний** увеличивается, когда цена снова входит в зону; подпись показывает пару и количество касаний.
* **Пузыри**
* Используется безопасный **прокси-дельты** — измерение «напряжения» внутри свечи.
* Через **квантильный фильтр** выводятся только необычно сильные места: настраиваются окно и процент квантиля; размер кружка — сила, цвет: зеленый покупатели, красный продавцы.
* **Плотности**
* Крупные активности отмечаются **ненавязчивыми прямоугольниками** (глубина — доля Average True Range).
* Если плотность **пробивается** объемом выше среднего, она **исчезает** — часто это предвещает продолжение.

## Как пользоваться — практические схемы
> Рекомендация: крипто или фьючерсы, таймфрейм 1–5 минут. Для старшего фильтра удобно взять **1 час** или **15 минут**.
### 1) Скальп на откат по тренду
1. Включите **«только по тренду»**.
2. В восходящем тренде дождитесь отката в **зону спроса**, желательно рядом с **VWAP** или серединой **Opening Range**.
3. Подтверждение — **зеленые пузыри** у нижней границы зоны или свежая **плотность** под ценой.
4. Вход после закрытия свечи **выше средней линии** зоны.
5. Стоп-лосс: за нижнюю границу зоны или небольшой множитель Average True Range.
6. Цели: предыдущий максимум, верх Opening Range, фиксированные R-множители, либо VWAP.
Для нисходящего тренда зеркально: зоны предложения, красные пузыри и плотности над ценой.
### 2) Контрдвижение с «выбиванием ликвидности»
1. Нейтральный или контртрендовый режим.
2. Цена **выносит хвостом** границу зоны (или линию Opening Range) и **закрывается обратно внутри**.
3. Цвет пузыря часто меняется (поглощение).
4. Вход внутрь зоны; стоп — за хвост выбивания; цели: средняя линия, противоположная граница зоны или VWAP.
### 3) Пробой Opening Range + ретест
1. Дождитесь завершения диапазона.
2. Сильный пробой с крупным пузырем — признак намерения.
3. Ищите **ретест** в зоне по тренду рядом с линией диапазона и VWAP.
4. Торгуйте продолжение к следующей зоне.
### 4) Продолжение после «съеденной» плотности
1. Когда прямоугольник плотности **исчезает** на повышенном объеме, это значит, что ликвидность поглощена.
2. Торгуйте в сторону пробоя к ближайшей противоположной зоне.

## Советы и риски
* Индикатор **не использует внешние потоки ордер-флоу**. Дельта — **прокси**, подходящая для TradingView; подбирайте квантили под инструмент и таймфрейм.
* Не торгуйте каждый пузырь. Склейте **контекст (тренд + VWAP + Opening Range)** с **уровнем (зона)** и **усилием (пузырь/плотность)**.
* Стоп-лосс — за границей зоны или по Average True Range. Риск на сделку задавайте заранее.
* Перед реальными деньгами протестируйте правила в стратегии.
* Разные рынки ведут себя по-разному; настройки из Биткоина могут не подойти малоликвидным альткоинам или акциям.
* Это не инвестиционная рекомендация. Скальпинг — высокий риск; проскальзывание и переизбыток сделок быстро наносят ущерб капиталу.

Scalper Pro Pattern Recognition & Price ActionOVERVIEW
Scalper Pro is a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading indicator that combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with traditional technical analysis to provide scalpers and day traders with high-probability entry and exit signals. This indicator integrates multiple analytical frameworks into a unified visual system designed specifically for short-term trading strategies.
ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
What Makes This Script Original
This script is not a simple mashup of existing indicators. Instead, it represents a carefully orchestrated integration of complementary analytical methods that work together to solve a specific problem: identifying high-probability scalping opportunities in volatile markets.
The unique value proposition:
Adaptive Trend Filtering System - Combines a customized SuperTrend algorithm with dual-period range filters (Cirrus Cloud) and Hull Moving Average trend cloud to create a three-layer trend confirmation system
Smart Money Concepts Integration - Incorporates institutional trading concepts (Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Break of Structure) with retail technical indicators for a complete market structure view
Dynamic Risk Management - Automatically calculates stop-loss and take-profit levels based on ATR volatility, providing objective position sizing
ADX-Based Market Regime Detection - Identifies ranging vs. trending markets through ADX analysis with visual bar coloring to prevent whipsaws during consolidation
Why Combine These Specific Components
Each component addresses a specific weakness in scalping:
SuperTrend provides the primary directional bias but can generate false signals in ranging markets
Range Filters smooth out noise and confirm trend direction, reducing SuperTrend false positives
ADX Analysis prevents trading during low-volatility consolidation when most indicators fail
SMC Elements identify institutional activity zones where price is likely to react strongly
ATR-Based Risk Management adapts position sizing to current volatility conditions
The synergy creates a system where signals are only generated when multiple confirmation layers align, significantly reducing false signals common in single-indicator approaches.
HOW IT WORKS
Core Calculation Methodology
1. SuperTrend Signal Generation
The script uses a modified SuperTrend algorithm with the following calculation:
ATR = Average True Range (default: 10 periods)
Factor = 7 (default sensitivity multiplier)
Upper Band = Source + (Factor × ATR)
Lower Band = Source - (Factor × ATR)
Directional Logic:
When price crosses above SuperTrend → Bullish signal
When price crosses below SuperTrend → Bearish signal
SuperTrend value is plotted as dynamic support/resistance
Key Modification: The sensitivity parameter (nsensitivity * 7) allows users to adjust the aggressiveness of trend detection without changing the core ATR calculation.
2. Range Filter System (Cirrus Cloud)
The Range Filter uses a smoothed range calculation to filter out market noise:
Smooth Range Calculation:
WPER = (Period × 2) - 1
AVRNG = EMA(|Price - Price |, Period)
Smooth Range = EMA(AVRNG, WPER) × Multiplier
Two-Layer System:
Layer 1: 22-period with 6x multiplier (broader trend)
Layer 2: 15-period with 5x multiplier (tighter price action)
Visual Output: The space between these two filters is colored:
Green fill = Bullish trend (Layer 1 > Layer 2)
Red fill = Bearish trend (Layer 1 < Layer 2)
This creates a "cloud" that expands during strong trends and contracts during consolidation.
3. ADX Market Regime Detection
Calculation:
+DM = Positive Directional Movement
-DM = Negative Directional Movement
True Range = RMA of True Range (15 periods)
+DI = 100 × RMA(+DM, 15) / True Range
-DI = 100 × RMA(-DM, 15) / True Range
ADX = 100 × RMA(|+DI - -DI| / (+DI + -DI), 15)
Threshold System:
ADX < Threshold (default 15) = Ranging market → Bar color changes to purple
ADX > Threshold = Trending market → Normal bar coloring applies
Purpose: This prevents taking trend-following signals during sideways markets where most indicators produce whipsaws.
4. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Integration
Order Blocks (OB):
Identified using swing high/low detection with customizable pivot length
Bullish OB: Last down-close candle before bullish Break of Structure (BOS)
Bearish OB: Last up-close candle before bearish BOS
Extended forward until price breaks through them
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Detected when a three-candle gap exists:
Bullish FVG: Low > High
Bearish FVG: High < Low
Filtered by price delta percentage to ensure significant gaps
Displayed as boxes that delete when price fills the gap
Break of Structure (BOS) vs. Change of Character (CHoCH):
BOS = Price breaks the previous structural high/low in the current trend direction
CHoCH = Price breaks structure in the opposite direction (potential trend reversal)
Both internal (minor) and swing (major) structures are tracked
Equal Highs/Lows (EQH/EQL):
Detected when consecutive swing highs/lows are within ATR threshold
Often indicates liquidity pools that price may sweep before reversing
5. ATR-Based Risk Management
Calculation:
ATR Band = ATR(14) × Risk Multiplier (default 3%)
Stop Loss = Entry - ATR Band (for longs) or Entry + ATR Band (for shorts)
Take Profit Levels:
TP1 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 1
TP2 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 2
TP3 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 3
Dynamic Labels: Stop loss and take profit levels are automatically calculated and displayed as labels on the chart when new signals trigger.
6. Hull Moving Average Trend Cloud
HMA = WMA(2 × WMA(Close, Period/2) - WMA(Close, Period), sqrt(Period))
Period = 600 bars (long-term trend)
The HMA provides a smoothed long-term trend reference that's more responsive than traditional moving averages while filtering out short-term noise.

BEST PRACTICES & TRADING TIPS
Optimal Use Cases
Scalping on lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m)
Rapid entry/exit with clear TP levels
ADX filter prevents choppy market entries
Day trading on medium timeframes (30m, 1H)
Stronger trend confirmation
Better risk-reward ratios
Swing trading entries on higher timeframes (4H, Daily)
Higher-probability structural setups
Larger ATR-based stops accommodate volatility
Market Conditions
Best Performance:
Trending markets with clear directional bias
Post-news volatility with defined structure
Markets respecting support/resistance levels
Avoid Trading When:

THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
Trend-Following Concepts
This indicator is based on the principle that markets trend more often than they range, and that trends tend to persist. The SuperTrend component captures this momentum while the range filters prevent premature entries during pullbacks.
Smart Money Theory
The SMC elements are based on the concept that institutional traders (banks, hedge funds) leave footprints in the form of:
Order Blocks: Areas where large orders were placed
Fair Value Gaps: Inefficient price movements that may be revisited
Liquidity Sweeps: Stop hunts before continuation (EQH/EQL)
Volatility-Based Position Sizing
Using ATR for stop-loss placement ensures that stop distances adapt to current market conditions:
Tight stops in low volatility (avoids excessive risk)
Wider stops in high volatility (avoids premature stop-outs)
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
Realistic Expectations
Win Rate:
Expected: 45-55% (trend-following systems rarely exceed 60%)
Higher win rates on trending days
Lower win rates during consolidation (even with ADX filter)
Risk-Reward Ratio:
Target: 1.5:1 minimum (TP2)
Achievable: 2:1 to 3:1 on strong trends
Drawdowns:
Normal: 10-15% of account during choppy periods
Maximum: Should not exceed 20% with proper risk management
Optimization Tips
Backtesting Recommendations:
Test on at least 1 year of historical data
Include different market conditions (trending, ranging, volatile)
Adjust SuperTrend sensitivity per instrument
Optimize ADX threshold for your specific market
Record trades to identify personal execution errors
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator provides signals, but you'll need to code a strategy script separately for automation. The signals can trigger alerts that connect to trading bots.
Q: Why do I see conflicting signals?
A: This is normal during transition periods. Wait for all confirmation layers to align before entering.
Q: How often should I expect signals?
A: Depends on timeframe and market conditions. On 5m charts during trending markets: 3-7 quality setups per session.
Q: Can I use only some features?
A: Yes, all components can be toggled on/off. However, the system works best with all confirmations active.
Q: What's the difference between internal and swing structures?
A: Internal = minor price structures (smaller pivots). Swing = major price structures (larger pivots). Both provide different levels of confirmation.
