McClellan Oscillator for DAX (GER30) [aftabmk modified]About McClellan Oscillator
Developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan, the McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, the number of advancing issues less the number of declining issues. Subtracting the 39-day exponential moving average of Net Advances from the 19-day exponential moving average of Net Advances forms the oscillator.
As the formula reveals, the McClellan Oscillator is a momentum indicator that works similar to MACD .
McClellan Oscillator signals can be generated with breadth thrusts, centerline crossovers, overall levels and divergences.
About my version
This version here is a modification, though:
- It can only be used on the DAX index (DAX 30 or GER 30)
- It only considers the DAX 30 stocks
- The data window will provide a summary about rising and declining stocks
- The data window will output the last change for each of the 30 stocks
BUG
I am only publishing this version because I am not sure if my current version is saved when I leave tradingview.com without publishing the script.
This version still contains a bug - the if/else clauses do not correctly recognize declining stocks. So the oscillator should not be used as it is.
Working on it these days. Feel free to provide feedback!
Stuff I am working on
- Coloring the area green/red according to the value
- Fixing this bug/making this script more efficient
DISCLAIMER
This script was mainly written for educational purposes (training myself how to write custom indicatotors).
As you can see, the code is really messy.

Gann RetracementThe indicator is based on W. D. Gann's method of retracement studies. Gann looked at stock retracement action in terms of Halves (1/2), Thirds (1/3, 2/3), Fifths (1/5, 2/5, 3/5, and 4/5) and more importantly the Eighths (1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8). Needless to say, {2, 3, 5, 8} are the only Fibonacci numbers between 1 to 10. These ratios can easily be visualized in the form of division of a Circle as follows :
Divide the circle in 12 equal parts of 30 degree each to produce the Thirds :
30 x 4 = 120 is 1/3 of 360
30 x 8 = 240 is 2/3 of 360
The 30 degree retracement captures fundamental geometric shapes like a regular Triangle (120-240-360), a Square (90-180-270-360), and a regular Hexagon (60-120-180-240-300-360) inscribed inside of the circle.
Now, divide the circle in 10 equal parts of 36 degree each to produce the Fifths :
36 x 2 = 72 is 1/5 of 360
36 x 4 = 144 is 2/5 of 360
36 x 6 = 216 is 3/5 of 360
36 x 8 = 288 is 4/5 of 360
where, (72-144-216-288-360) is a regular Pentagon.
Finally, divide the circle in 8 equal parts of 45 degree each to produce the Eighths :
45 x 1 = 45 is 1/8 of 360
45 x 2 = 90 is 2/8 of 360
45 x 3 = 135 is 3/8 of 360
45 x 4 = 180 is 4/8 of 360
45 x 5 = 225 is 5/8 of 360
45 x 6 = 270 is 6/8 of 360
45 x 7 = 315 is 7/8 of 360
where, (45-90-135-180-225-270-315-360) is a regular Octagon.
How to Use this indicator ?
The indicator generates Gann retracement levels between any two significant price points, such as a high and a low.
Input :
Swing High (significant high price point, such as a top)
Swing Low (significant low price point, such as a bottom)
Degree (degree of retracement)
Output :
Gann retracement levels (color coded as follows) :
Swing High and Swing Low (BLUE)
50% retracement (ORANGE)
Retracements between Swing Low and 50% level (RED)
Retracements between 50% level and Swing High (LIME)
Bollinger Bands %B + ATR This indicator is best suitable for the 30-minutes interval OIL charts, due to ATR accuracy.
BB%B is great for showing oversold/overbought market conditions and offers excellent entry/exit opportunities for Day Trading (30 minutes chart), as well as reliable convergence/divergence patterns. ATR is conveniently combined and shows potential market volatility levels for the day when used in 30-minutes charts, thus demarcating your day trade exit point.
To use the ATR on this indicator: Just read the ATR value of the lowest (for a new bull trend) or the highest (for a new bear trend) candlestick of the newly formed trend leg. Let's suppose the ATR reads 0.2891, then you project a move of 2.891 points towards the given trend direction using the ruler tool (30-minutes charts). That's all, and there you have your take profit target!
Good Luck!!!
ADX strategy (considering ADX and +DI only )I have been checking the strategies on ADX indicator.
I have found that +DI crossing above ADX line under threshold 30 and exit on crossdown when ADX above 30 has better results than just following crossovers of +DI and -DI , ADX crossing above 30 .
BUY Rule
========
fast ema is above slow ema (default 13 and 55 , you can change these values in settings)
+DI cross above ADX well beloe threshold level (default 30)
Exit reule
========
when +DI cross down ADX , well above on threshold level
Stop Loss
=========
Default is set to 8%
Take a look and let me know how your symbol works with this strategy
Note : Bar color changes to yellow when the BUY condition is met.
Bar color and Background color shows to blue --- if Long position is active
fast ema and long ema doesnt print on the chart -- please add manually to the chart

EulerMethod: DeltaEN
Shows the Integral Volume Delta (IVD)
It is a detailed OBV. Each bar sums up the volume for bars of a shorter timeframe.
For example, inside a 1M bar, every 12h bar is added up, and inside a 1h bar, every 1min bar is added. Thus, a conditional volume delta inside the bar is obtained.
The indicator for each bar shows the volume of purchases (positive), sales (negative) and the difference — IVD
The delta histogram is thicker than the volume histograms
Settings detalisation
M — 6 hours, 12 hours and 1 day for the M timeframe (720 by default)
W — 4 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours for the W timeframe (240 by default)
D — 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours for the D timeframe (60 by default)
H — 1 minute, 5 minutes and 15 minutes for timeframes [1h, D) (default is 1)
For timeframes of 15m and less, the calculation is carried out by minute bars
VSA mode
The classic OBV adds volume to the cumulative sum under the condition Сlose (n) > Close (n-1) and subtracts it under the condition Close (n) < Close (n-1)
When VSA mode is disabled, all volumes are summed up under these conditions.
When the VSA approximation is turned on, the volume per bar of detail is divided by the factor (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
That is, it takes into account the spread per bar and closing relative to the spread. VSA is enabled by default
A/D mode
Shows the cumulative Accumulation / Distribution Index
The delta of the detail bar is multiplied by (High + Low + Close) / 3 bars, the result is added to the cumulative sum
No additional price conversions required due to integral summation
Index line view is customizable
EM Delta does not receive intermediate values in real time.
To see the result, wait until the bar closes or switch to a smaller timeframe

Показывает Интегральную Дельту Объёма (ИДО)
Представляет собой детализированный OBV. В каждом баре суммируется объём за бары меньшего таймфрейма.
Например, внутри 1М-бара суммируется каждый 12h-бар, а внутри 1h — каждый 1m-бар. Таким образом получается условная дельта объёма внутри бара
Индикатор на каждый бар показывает объём покупок (положительный), объём продаж (отрицательный) и разницу — ИДО
Гистограмма дельты толще гистограмм объёмов
Настройки детализации внутри бара
M — 6 часов, 12 часов и 1 день для таймфрейма M (по-умолчанию 720)
W — 4 часа, 6 часов и 12 часов для таймфрейма W (по-умолчанию 240)
D — 30 минут, 1 час и 2 часа для таймфрейма D (по-умолчанию 60)
H — 1 минута, 5 минут и 15 минут для таймфреймов [1h, D) (по-умолчанию 1)
Для таймфреймов 15m и меньше расчёт ведётся по минутным барам
Режим VSA
Классический OBV прибавляет объём к кумулятивной сумме при условии Сlose(n) > Close(n-1) и отнимает при условии Close(n) < Close(n-1)
При отключении режима VSA все объёмы суммируются по этим условиям
При включённой VSA-аппроксимации объём за бар детализации делится по фактору (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
То есть учитывает спред за бар и закрытие относительно спреда. По-умолчанию режим VSA включен
Режим A/D
Показывает кумулятивный индекс Накопления/Распределения
Дельта бара детализации умножается на (High + Low + Close) / 3 бара, результат прибавляется к кумулятивной сумме
Дополнительные преобразования цены не требуются ввиду интегрального суммирования
Вид линии индекса настраивается
EM Delta не получает промежуточные значения в реальном времени.
Чтобы увидеть результат, дождитесь закрытия бара или перейдите на меньший таймфрейм
Crypto Trading Hours UTC based on Berlin time (UTC +2)Although crypto markets trade 24/7, there are spikes in volume according to the general hours at which different parts of the world do the majority of their trading.
This Script highlights the US, European and Asian markets when they are most active. The normal market hours are always from 08:00 to 16:30 local time.
US market opens at 8:00 Silicon Valley local time, and closes at 16:30 New York local time.
European market opens at 8:00 London local time, and closes at 16:30 Frankfurt local time.
Asian market opens at 8:00 Hong Kong local time, and closes at 16:30 Sydney local time.
Supertrend MTF LAG ISSUEThis script based on
we all use Super trend but it main issue is the lag as it buy too late or sell too late
using Deavaet study of Heat map MTF we can do a little trick
if you look on his study you can see that major signal for example will happen in the time frame before it happen at larger time frame
so in this example if signal at MTF 30 min and signal at MTF 60 min happen at the same time at 2 hours or 4 hours candles then this signal are more likely to be true then random signal at each time frame specific.
since we use shorter time frame on larger time frame we can remove the lag issue that make supertrend not so effective
In this example I set the signal to be MTF 30 +60 om 2 hour TF , can be good also for 4 hour candles..
So you get the signal to close inside the larger candle
now if you want to make on even shorter TF then change the code to 15 and 30 MTF on candles on 1 hour
or 1 and 5 min on 30 min or 15 min

extended session - Regular Opening-Range- JayyOpening Range and some other scripts updated to plot correctly (see comments below.) There are three variations of the fibonacci expansion beyond the opening range and retracements within the opening range of the US Market session - I have not put in the script for the other markets yet.
The three scripts have different uses and strengths:
The extended session script (with the script here below) will plot the opening range whether you are using the extended session or the regular session. (that is to say whether "ext" in the lower right hand corner is highlighted or not.). While in the extended session the opening range has some plotting issues with periods like 13 minutes or any period that is not divisible into 330 mins with a round number outcome (eg 330/60 =5.5. Therefore an hour long opening range has problems in the extended session.
The pre session script is only for the premarket. You can select any opening range period you like. I have set the opening range to be the full premarket session. If you select a different session you will have to unselect "pre open to 9:30 EST for Opening Range?" in the format section. The script defaults to 15 minutes in the "period Of Pre Opening Range?". To go back to the 4 am to 9:30 pre opening range select "pre open to 9:30 EST for Opening Range?" there is no automatic 330 minute selection.
The past days offset script only works in 5 min or 15 minute period. It will show the opening range from up to 20 days past over the current days price action. Use this for the regular session only. 0 shows the current day's opening range. Use the positive integers for number of days back ie 1, 2, 3 etc not -1, -2, -3 etc. The script is preprogrammed to use the current day (0).
Scripts updated to plot correctly: One thing they all have in common is a way of they deal with a somewhat random problem that shifts the plots 4 hours in one direction or the other ie the plot started at 9:30 EST or 1:30PM EST. This issue started to occur approximately June 22, 2015 and impacts any script that tried to use "session" times to manage a plot in my scripts. The issue now seems to have been resolved during this past week.
Just in case the problem reoccurs I have added a "Switch session plot?" to each script. If the plot looks funny check or uncheck the "Switch session plot?" and see the difference. Of course if a new issue crops up it will likely require a different fix.
I have updated all of the scripts shown on this chart. If you are using a script of mine that suffers from the compiler issue then you will find an update on this chart. You can get any and all of the scripts by clicking on the small sideways wishbone on the left middle of the chart. You will see a dialogue box. Then click "make it mine". This will import all of the scripts to your computer and you can play around with them all to decide what you want and what you don't want. This is the easiest way to get all of the scripts in one fell swoop. It is also the easiest way for me to make all of the scripts available. I do not have all of the plots visible since it is too messy and one of the scripts (pre OR) is only for the regular session. To view the scripts click on the blue eye to the right of the script title to show it on this script. If you can only use the regular session. The scripts will all (with the exception of the pre OR) work fine.
If for any reason this script seems flakey refresh the page r try a slightly different period. I have noticed that sometimes randomly the script loves to return to the 5 min OR. This is a very new issue transient issue. As always if you see an issue please let me know.
Cheers Jayy
Trend Meter [MMT]The Trend Meter is a dynamic Pine Script indicator designed to provide traders with a clear, multi-dimensional view of market trends and momentum across different timeframes and metrics. By integrating Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), higher timeframe (HTF) analysis, and Regular Trading Hours (RTH) breakouts, this indicator offers a comprehensive tool for identifying bullish, bearish, or neutral market conditions. Its customizable visual display and label system make it ideal for traders seeking actionable insights for trend-following, breakout, or reversal strategies.
Key Features:
1. Multi-Metric Trend Analysis:
- Trend Meter : Compares a Fast EMA (default: 9) and Slow EMA (default: 21) to determine short-term trend direction.
- Bias Meter : Uses a longer-term Bias EMA (default: 35) to assess the overall market bias based on the close price.
- VWAP Meter : Evaluates price position relative to the VWAP for dynamic support/resistance insights.
- HTF Meter : Analyzes higher timeframe (default: 60-minute) price action, detecting breakouts of previous highs/lows and candle direction.
- RTH Meter : Tracks price breakouts above/below the US Regular Trading Hours (09:30–16:00 EST) 15m opening range (09:30–09:45 EST).
2. Color-Coded Visuals:
- Each metric is displayed as a horizontal line with customizable colors (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
- Visual style options (dotted, dashed, or solid lines) allow for personalized chart clarity.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Optional labels for each metric (Trend, Bias, VWAP, HTF, RTH) with customizable text, size (tiny to huge), and color.
- Labels update in real-time, providing clear identification of each meter’s role and current state.
4. Flexible Metric Selection:
- Toggle individual metrics (EMA, VWAP, HTF, RTH) on/off to focus on relevant indicators for your trading style.
- Option to use the previous bar’s close price for calculations, reducing noise in volatile markets.
5. RTH and Opening Range Analysis:
- Calculates the high/low of the opening range (09:30–09:45 EST) during RTH sessions.
- Signals bullish or bearish conditions when the price breaks above/below the opening range outside the initial 15-minute window.
6. Higher Timeframe Breakout Detection:
- Monitors HTF price action to identify breakouts of the previous candle’s high or low, combined with the HTF candle’s direction for trend confirmation.
How to Use:
- Trend Confirmation : Use the Trend and Bias Meters to confirm short-term and long-term market direction.
- Breakout Trading : Leverage the RTH Meter for breakout setups above/below the opening range during US trading hours.
- Support/Resistance : Utilize the VWAP Meter to identify dynamic price levels for entries or exits.
- Higher Timeframe Context : Monitor the HTF Meter for broader market trend alignment, ideal for swing or position trading.
- Customization : Adjust EMA lengths, toggle metrics, and customize visual styles and labels to suit your chart preferences.
Settings:
- Bias Settings :
- Fast EMA (default: 9), Slow EMA (default: 21), Bias EMA (default: 35).
- Higher Timeframe (default: 60-minute).
- Option to use previous close price for calculations.

- RTH and opening range calculations are tailored for US markets (EST timezone); adjust session times in the code for other markets.
- Higher timeframe analysis enhances context for multi-timeframe strategies.
Ideal For:
- Intraday traders targeting RTH breakout opportunities.
- Swing traders aligning with higher timeframe trends.
- Traders using VWAP and EMA-based strategies for trend and momentum analysis.
- Those seeking a clean, customizable dashboard for multi-metric market analysis.
ADX Trend Strength Filter + TRAMA [DotGain]Summary
Are you tired of trading trend signals, only to get stopped out in volatile, sideways chop?
The ADX Trend Strength Filter (ADX TSF) is designed to solve this exact problem. It is a comprehensive trend-following system that only generates signals when a trend not only has the right direction and momentum, but also sufficient strength.
This indicator filters out weak or indecisive market phases (the "chop") and will only color the bars Green or Red when all conditions for a strong, confirmed trend are met.
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
The ADX TSF relies on a triple-filter logic to generate a clear trade signal:
Trend Filter (TRAMA): A TRAMA (Trending Adaptive Moving Average) is used as the main trendline. This adaptive average automatically adjusts to market volatility, acting as a dynamic support/resistance level.
Price > TRAMA = Bullish
Price < TRAMA = Bearish
Momentum Filter (RSI Crossover): Momentum is measured by a crossover of two moving averages of the RSI (a fast EMA and a slow SMA). This confirms whether the momentum is pointing in the same direction as the trend.
Strength Filter (ADX): This is the most important filter. A signal is only considered valid if the ADX (Average Directional Index) is above a defined threshold (Default: 30). This ensures the trend has sufficient strength.
🚦 How to Read the Indicator
The indicator has three states, displayed directly as bar colors on your chart:
🟩 GREEN BARS (Strong Uptrend) All three conditions are met:
Price is above the TRAMA.
RSI momentum is bullish (Fast MA > Slow MA).
ADX is above 30 (Strong trend is present).
🟥 RED BARS (Strong Downtrend) All three conditions are met:
Price is below the TRAMA.
RSI momentum is bearish (Fast MA < Slow MA).
ADX is above 30 (Strong trend is present).
🟧 ORANGE BARS (Neutral / Caution) This state appears if any of the following conditions are true:
Weak Trend: The ADX is below 30. The market is in consolidation or a sideways phase. (This is the primary filter!)
Indecision: The price is caught in the "Neutral Zone" between the TRAMA and the 200 SMA.
Visual Elements
Bar Colors: (Green/Red/Orange) Show the current trend status.
TRAMA (Orange Line): Your primary adaptive trendline.
200 SMA (White Line): Serves as a reference for the long-term trend.
Orange Background (Fill): Fills the area between the TRAMA and SMA to visually highlight the "Neutral Zone."
Key Benefit
The goal of the ADX TSF is to keep traders out of weak, unpredictable markets and help them participate only in strong, momentum-confirmed trends.
Have fun :)

Trend & Strength Detector TSDTrend Strength Detector (TSD)
*Objective Trend Quality Measurement for Educational Market Analysis*
Note: This mathematical framework is a proprietary quantitative model developed by Ario Pinelab, inspired by classical EMA, ADX, RSI and MACD principles, yet not documented in any public technical or academic publication.
## 🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
The ** Trend Strength Detector- TSD ** is an educational research tool that provides **quantitative measurement of trend quality** through two independent scoring systems (0-100 scale). It answers the analytical question: *"How strong and aligned is the current market trend environment?"*
This indicator is designed with a **modular, complementary approach** to work alongside various analysis methodologies, particularly pattern-based recognition systems.
## 🔗 Complementary Research Framework
### Designed to Work With Pattern Detection Systems
This indicator provides **environmental context measurement** that complements qualitative pattern recognition tools. It works particularly well alongside systems like:
- **RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System**
- Traditional chart pattern analyzers
- Any momentum-based pattern identification tools
🔍 **To find RMBS Smart Detector:**
- Search in TradingView Indicators Library: `" RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System"`
- Look for: *Multi-Factor Momentum System*
- By author: ` `
### Why This Complementary Approach?
**Trend Quality Measurement** (TSD - this tool) provides:
- ✅ Structural trend alignment (0-100 score)
- ✅ Momentum intensity levels (0-100 score)
- ✅ Environment classification (Strong/Moderate/Weak)
- 📌 **Answers:** *"HOW STRONG is the underlying trend environment?"*
### Educational Research Value
When used together in a research context, these tools enable systematic study of questions like:
- How do reversal patterns behave when Strength Score is above 70 vs below 30?
- Do continuation patterns in weakening environments (declining scores) show different characteristics?
- What is the correlation between high Alignment Scores and pattern "success rates"?
- Can environment classification help identify genuine trend initiation vs false starts?
⚠️ **Important Note:** Both tools are **independent and work standalone**. TSD provides value whether used alone or with other analysis methods. The relationship with RMBS (or any pattern tool) is **complementary for research purposes**, not dependent.

###Mathematical Foundation
##TSA Formula: scoring method developed by Ario
-Trend Model (0 – 100)
TAS = EMA Alignment (0–40) + Price Position (0–30) + Trend Consistency (0–30)
EMA Alignment checks EMA_fast vs EMA_slow vs EMA_trend structure.
Price Position evaluates if Close is above/below all EMAs.
Consistency = 3 × max(bullish,bearish bars within 10 candles).
-Strength Model (0 – 100)
Strength = ADX (0–50) + EMA Slope (0–25) + RSI (0–15) + MACD (0–10)
ADX measures trend energy; Slope shows EMA momentum %;
RSI assesses zone positioning; MACD confirms directional agreement.
Note: This formula represents a proprietary quantitative model by Ario_Pinelab, inspired by classical technical concepts but not published in any external reference.________________________________________

🚫 Important Disclaimers & Limitations
What This Indicator IS:
✅ Educational measurement tool for trend quality research
✅ Quantitative assessment of current market environment
✅ Complementary analysis tool for pattern-based systems
✅ Historical data analyzer for systematic study
✅ Multi-factor scoring system based on technical calculations
What This Indicator IS NOT:
❌ NOT a trading system or signal generator
❌ NOT financial advice or trade recommendations
❌ NOT predictive of future price movements
❌ NOT a guarantee of pattern success/failure
❌ NOT a substitute for comprehensive risk management
________________________________________
Known Limitations
1. Lagging Nature:
⚠️ All components (EMA, ADX, RSI, MACD) are calculated
from historical price data
→ Scores reflect CURRENT and RECENT conditions
→ Cannot predict sudden reversals or black swan events
→ Trend measurements lag actual price turning points
2. Whipsaw Risk:
⚠️ In choppy/ranging markets, scores may fluctuate rapidly
→ Moderate zone (40-60) can see frequent transitions
→ Low timeframes more susceptible to noise
→ Consider higher timeframes for stable measurements
3. Component Conflicts:
⚠️ Individual components may disagree
→ Example: Strong ADX but weak RSI alignment
→ Scores average these conflicts (may hide nuance)
→ Check individual components for deeper insight
4. Not Predictive:
⚠️ High scores do NOT guarantee continuation
⚠️ Low scores do NOT guarantee reversal
→ Measurement ≠ Prediction
→ Use for CONTEXT, not SIGNALS
→ Combine with comprehensive analysis

Directional Strength and Momentum Index█ OVERVIEW
“Directional Strength and Momentum Index” (DSMI) is a technical analysis indicator inspired by DMI, but due to different source data, it produces distinct results. DSMI combines direction measurement, trend strength, and overheat levels into a single index, enhanced with gradient fills, extreme zones, entry signals, candle coloring, and a summary table.
█ CONCEPT
The classic DMI, despite its relatively simple logic, can seem somewhat chaotic due to separate +DI and -DI lines and the need for manual interpretation of their relationships. The DSMI indicator was created to increase clarity and speed up results, consolidating key information into a single index from 0 to 100 that simultaneously:
- Indicates trend direction (bullish/bearish)
- Measures movement strength
- Identifies overheat levels
- Generates ready entry signals
DMI (ADX + +DI / -DI) measures trend direction and strength, but does so based solely on comparing price movements between candles. ADX shows whether the trend is orderly and growing (e.g., above 20–30), but does not assess how dynamic the movement is.
DSMI, on the other hand, takes into account candle size and actual market aggression, thus showing directional momentum — whether the trend has real “fuel” to sustain or accelerate, not just whether it is orderly.
The main calculation difference involves replacing True Range with candle size (high-low) and using directional EMA instead of Wilder smoothing. This allows DSMI to react faster to momentum changes, eliminating delays typical of classic DMI based on TR.
This gives the trader an immediate picture of the market situation without analyzing multiple lines.
█ FEATURES
DSMI Main Line:
- EMA(Directional Index) based on +DS and -DS
- Scale 0–100, smooth color gradient depending on strength
+DS / -DS:
- Positive and Negative Directional Strength
- Gradient fill between lines — more intense with stronger trend
Extreme Zones:
- Default 20 and 80
- Gradient fill outside zones
Trend Strength Levels:
- Weak (<10) → neutral
- Moderate (up to 35)
- Strong (up to 45)
- Overheated (up to 55)
- Extreme (>55)
All levels editable
Entry Signals:
- Activated on crossing entry level (default 20)
Or on direction change when DSMI already ≥ entry level
- Highlighted background (green/red)
Candle Coloring:
- According to current trend
Trend Strength Table:
- Top-right corner
- Shows current strength (WEAK/STRONG etc.) + DSMI value
Alerts:
- DSMI Bullish Entry
- DSMI Bearish Entry
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Paste code in Pine Editor or find in indicator library.
Settings:
DSMI Parameters:
- DSMI Period → default 20
- Show DSMI Line → on/off
Extreme Zones:
- Lower Level → default 20
- Upper Level → default 80
Trend Strength Levels:
- Weak, Moderate, Strong, Overheated → adjust to strategy
Trend Colors:
- BULLISH → default green
- BEARISH → default red
- NEUTRAL → gray
Entry Signals:
- Show Highlight → on/off
- DSMI Entry Level → default 20
Signal Interpretation:
- DSMI Line: Main strength indicator.
- Gradient between +DS and -DS: Visualizes side dominance.
- Crossing 18 with direction confirmation → entry signal.
- Extreme Zones: Potential reversal or continuation points after correction.
- Table: Quick overview of current trend condition.
█ APPLICATIONS
The indicator works well in:
- Trend-following: Enter on signal, exit on direction change or overheat. When a new trend appears, consider entering a position, preferably with a rising trend strength indicator.
- Scalping/daytrading: Shorter period (7–10), lower entry level.
- Swing/position: Longer period (20–30), higher entry level, extreme zones as filters.
- Noise filtering: Ignores consolidation below “Weak” – increasing value e.g. to 15 highlights consolidation zones, but no signals appear there.
Style Adjustment:
- Aggressive strategies → shorten period and entry level
- Conservative → extend period, raise entry level (25–30), watch “Overheated”
“Weak” level (<10 default) → neutral; increasing it e.g. to 15 gives fewer but higher-quality signals. The Weak zone value controls the level below which no signals appear, and the gradient turns gray (often aligned with consolidation zones).
Combine with:
- Support/resistance levels
- Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Volume (Volume Profile, VWAP)
- Other oscillators (RSI, Stochastic)
█ NOTES
- Works on all markets and timeframes.
- Adjust period and levels to instrument volatility.
- Higher entry level → fewer signals, higher quality.
- Neutral color below “Weak” – avoids trading in consolidation.
- Gradient and table enable quick assessment without line analysis.
ORB + Liquidity Sweeps**Title:** ORB + Liquidity Sweeps
**Description:**
The **“ORB + Liquidity Sweeps”** indicator combines the *Opening Range Breakout (ORB)* model with dynamic *liquidity sweep detection* to identify high-probability reversal or continuation setups during key session periods. This script visually maps where price sweeps liquidity at highs/lows and tracks how those sweeps interact with the defined ORB range — offering clear, data-driven confluence zones for professional intraday execution.
---
### 🔹 FEATURES OVERVIEW
**1. Liquidity Sweeps **
* Detects **bullish** and **bearish liquidity grabs** using swing highs/lows based on user-defined pivot length.
* Supports three detection modes:
* **Only Wicks:** Marks when price pierces a level with a wick and rejects.
* **Only Outbreaks & Retest:** Confirms full breaks and retests.
* **Wicks + Outbreaks & Retest:** Combines both behaviors for full context.
* Automatically shades sweep zones and extends them until price mitigates or breaks through.
* Visuals:
* 🟩 **Bullish sweeps** = green wick/zone
* 🟥 **Bearish sweeps** = red wick/zone
* Configurable color transparency, max bar extension, and style options.
* Generates real-time **alerts** for each sweep:
* `🔼 Bullish Wick Sweep detected`
* `🔽 Bearish Wick Sweep detected`
---
**2. Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**
* Automatically defines the **Opening Range** using a customizable session window (default: *09:30–09:45 EST*).
* Tracks **ORB High** and **ORB Low** in real time.
* Displays the range only on intraday charts within the selected time window.
* Sends breakout alerts:
* `ORB Breakout Up` → Price crosses above ORB high.
* `ORB Breakout Down` → Price crosses below ORB low.
* Ideal for identifying initial volatility expansion zones and potential directional bias for the session.
---
**3. ORB–Liquidity Sweep Interaction**
* Highlights when **liquidity sweep zones overlap or touch the ORB range**, signaling a high-interest confluence zone.
* Issues alerts when interaction occurs:
* `Bull Sweep interacts with ORB`
* `Bear Sweep interacts with ORB`
* Useful for traders looking to align **liquidity events with session structure** to time entries.
---
**4. Built-in Alert System**
All alerts are pre-configured and can be activated directly from the TradingView “Add Alert” menu:
* **Bullish Wick Sweep**
* **Bearish Wick Sweep**
* **ORB Breakout Up**
* **ORB Breakout Down**
* **Bull Sweep interacts with ORB**
* **Bear Sweep interacts with ORB**
---
### ⚙️ HOW TO USE
1. **Add to Chart:** Apply on any intraday timeframe (preferably 1–15 min).
2. **Configure ORB Window:** Set the session start and duration (e.g., `09:30–09:45`options , 08:30 -08:45 futures ) for your trading region.
3. **Select Sweep Mode:** Choose from “Only Wicks,” “Only Outbreaks & Retest,” or “Wicks + Outbreaks & Retest.”
4. **Watch for Confluence:**
* A **sweep near ORB levels** often signals exhaustion or potential reversal.
* A **breakout through ORB following a sweep** suggests momentum continuation.
5. **Set Alerts:** Enable relevant alerts for automatic notifications when sweeps or ORB breaks occur.
---
### 📊 TRADING APPLICATIONS
* Identify **stop hunts** and **liquidity grabs** around ORB levels.
* Combine with volume, delta, or order flow indicators for confirmation.
* Use confluence zones (Sweep + ORB overlap) as **entry or take-profit** points.
* Excellent for **index futures**, **forex**, and **high-volume equities** during the opening session.

X Tail that Wagsintraday session-framework and ETH-anchored VWAP tool for TradingView. It draws today’s OVN (ETH) high/mid/low, today’s RTH-day open, previous day open/high/low, and a carried ETH VWAP handle (yesterday’s 4:00 PM NY VWAP, projected forward) to give you a clean, non-repainting scaffold for bias, structure, and execution. All timestamps are New York–local with DST handled explicitly, so historical sessions align correctly across time changes.
Key Capabilities
ETH OVN Range (18:00 → 09:30 NY)
Captures the rolling overnight high/low and computes the mid; at 09:30 NY it locks those levels and extends them to 16:00 NY (same day).
Optional labels (size/color configurable) placed slightly to the right of the 4 PM timestamp for readability.
Daily Handles (Today & Previous Day)
Today’s open line starts at the ETH open (anchor preserved) and extends toward 4 PM NY (or up to the “current bar + 5 bars” cap), with label control.
Previous day open/high/low plotted as discrete reference lines for carry-over structure.
ETH-Anchored VWAP (Live) + Bands
ETH-anchored VWAP runs only during the active ETH session (DST-aware).
Optional VWAP bands (0.5×, 1.0×, 2.0× multipliers) plotted as line-break series.
Carried ETH VWAP Handle (PD 4 PM Snapshot)
At 16:00 NY, the script snapshots the final ETH VWAP value.
On the next ETH open, it projects that value as a static dashed line through the session (non-mutating, non-repainting), with optional label.
Labeling & Styling
Single-toggle label system with color and five sizes.
Per-line color/width controls for quick visual hierarchy.
Internal “tail” logic keeps right endpoints near price (open-anchored lines extend to min(4 PM, now + 5 bars)), avoiding chart-wide overdraw.
Robust Session Logic
All session boundaries computed in NY local time; DST rules applied for historical bars.
Cross-midnight windows handled safely (no gaps or misalignment around day rolls).
Primary Use Cases
Session Bias & Context
Use OVN H/M/L and today’s open to define structural bias zones before RTH begins. A break-and-hold above OVN mid, for example, can filter long ideas; conversely, rejection at OVN high can warn of mean reversion.
Carry-Forward Mean/Value Reference
The carried ETH VWAP (PD 4 PM) acts as a “value memory” line for the next day. Traders can:
Fade tests away from it in balanced conditions,
Use it as a pullback/acceptance gauge during trends,
Track liquidity grabs when price spikes through and reclaims.
Execution Planning & Risk
Anchor stops/targets around PD H/L and OVN H/M/L for well-defined invalidation.
Combine with your entry model (order-flow, momentum, or pattern) to time fades at range extremes or momentum breaks from OVN mid.
Confluence Mapping
Layer the tool with opening range tools, HTF zones, or profile/VWAPs (weekly/daily) to spot high-quality confluence where multiple references cluster.
Regime & Day-Type Read
Quickly see whether RTH accepts/rejects the OVN range or gravitates to PD VWAP handle, helping classify the day (trend, balanced, double-distribution, etc.).
Quick Start
Apply to your intraday chart (any instrument supported by TradingView; best on ≤15m for live intraday context).
In Current Day group, keep Open and OVN HL on; optionally display the mid.
In Previous Day group, enable PD Open/HL for carry-over levels.
Enable AVWAP if you want live ETH-anchored VWAP and its Bands for distance context.
Keep PD VWAP on to project yesterday’s 4 PM ETH VWAP as a static dashed line into today.
Use the Label group to size/color the on-chart tags.
Settings Overview (Plain-English)
Label: Toggle labels on/off; choose label text color and size.
Current Day:
Open (color/width) — daily open line anchored at ETH open.
OVN HL (and Mid) — overnight high/low and midpoint, locked at 09:30 and extended to 16:00.
AVWAP + Bands — ETH-anchored VWAP with optional 0.5×/1×/2× bands.
Previous Day:
PD Open/HL — yesterday’s daily handles.
PD VWAP — the carried snapshot of yesterday’s 4 PM ETH VWAP projected forward (dashed).
Notes & Best Practices
Time Zone: All session logic is hard-coded to America/New_York and DST-robust. No manual DST tweaks required.
Non-Repainting: The carried PD VWAP line is a snapshot; once drawn, it does not back-fill or mutate.
Intraday Use: Designed for intraday execution. It will display on higher TFs, but the session granularity is most informative at ≤15m.
Performance: Script caps lines/labels (500) and uses short “tails” to keep charts responsive.
Compatibility: Uses request.security(..., "D", series, lookahead_on) intentionally to lock daily handles early for planning; this is by design.
Typical Playbook Examples
Fade Extremes in Balance: As RTH opens inside OVN, look for rejection wicks at OVN High with confluence from PD VWAP handle overhead; risk above OVN High.
Trend Continuation: In directional sessions, acceptances above OVN Mid with price pulling back to the live ETH VWAP can offer continuation entries.
Reversion to Value: Sharp extensions away from the carried PD VWAP that quickly stall often revert to that handle; use it as a target or as an acceptance test.
Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) - Advanced SMC [PhenLabs]📊Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI)
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) is an advanced Smart Money Concepts implementation that tracks institutional trading behavior through multi-dimensional analysis. This comprehensive indicator combines volume-validated Order Block detection, Fair Value Gap identification with auto-mitigation tracking, dynamic Liquidity Zone mapping, and Break of Structure/Change of Character detection into a unified system.
Unlike basic SMC indicators, SMFI employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that weighs five critical factors: Order Block strength (validated by volume), Fair Value Gap size and recency, proximity to Liquidity Zones, market structure alignment (BOS/CHoCH), and multi-timeframe confluence. This produces a Smart Money Score (0-100) where readings above 70 represent optimal institutional setup conditions.
🚀Points of Innovation
Volume-Validated Order Block Detection – Only displays Order Blocks when formation candle exceeds customizable volume multiplier (default 1.5x average), filtering weak zones and highlighting true institutional accumulation/distribution
Auto-Mitigation Tracking System – Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks automatically update status when price mitigates them, with visual distinction between active and filled zones preventing trades on dead levels
Proprietary Smart Money Score Algorithm – Combines weighted factors (OB strength 25%, FVG proximity 20%, Liquidity 20%, Structure 20%, MTF 15%) into single 0-100 confidence rating updating in real-time
ATR-Based Adaptive Calculations – All distance measurements use 14-period Average True Range ensuring consistent function across any instrument, timeframe, or volatility regime without manual recalibration
Dynamic Age Filtering – Automatically removes liquidity levels and FVGs older than configurable thresholds preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant levels
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Integration – Analyzes higher timeframe bias with customizable multipliers (2-10x) and incorporates HTF trend direction into Smart Money Score for institutional alignment
🔧Core Components
Order Block Engine – Detects institutional supply/demand zones using characteristic patterns (down-move-then-strong-up for bullish, up-move-then-strong-down for bearish) with minimum volume threshold validation, tracks mitigation when price closes through zones
Fair Value Gap Scanner – Identifies price imbalances where current candle's low/high leaves gap with two-candle-prior high/low, filters by minimum size percentage, monitors 50% fill for mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapper – Uses pivot high/low detection with configurable lookback to mark swing points where stop losses cluster, extends horizontal lines to visualize sweep targets, manages lifecycle through age-based removal
Market Structure Analyzer – Tracks pivot progression to identify trend through higher-highs/higher-lows (bullish) or lower-highs/lower-lows (bearish), detects Break of Structure and Change of Character for trend/reversal confirmation
Scoring Calculation Engine – Evaluates proximity to nearest Order Blocks using ATR-normalized distance, assesses FVG recency and distance, calculates liquidity proximity with age weighting, combines structure bias and MTF trend into smoothed final score
🔥Key Features
Customizable Display Limits – Control maximum Order Blocks (1-10), Liquidity Zones (1-10), and FVG age (10-200 bars) to maintain clean charts focused on most relevant institutional levels
Gradient Strength Visualization – All zones render with transparency-adjustable coloring where stronger/newer zones appear more solid and weaker/older zones fade progressively providing instant visual hierarchy
Educational Label System – Optional labels identify each zone type (Bullish OB, Bearish OB, Bullish FVG, Bearish FVG, BOS) with color-coded text helping traders learn SMC concepts through practical application
Real-Time Smart Money Score Dashboard – Top-right table displays current score (0-100) with color coding (green >70, yellow 30-70, red <30) plus trend arrow for at-a-glance confidence assessment
Comprehensive Alert Suite – Configurable notifications for Order Block formation, Fair Value Gap detection, Break of Structure events, Change of Character signals, and high Smart Money Score readings (>70)
Buy/Sell Signal Integration – Automatically plots triangle markers when Smart Money Score exceeds 70 with aligned market structure and fresh Order Block detection providing clear entry signals
🎨Visualization
Order Block Boxes – Shaded rectangles extend from formation bar spanning high-to-low of institutional candle, bullish zones in green, bearish in red, with customizable transparency (80-98%)
Fair Value Gap Zones – Rectangular areas marking imbalances, active FVGs display in bright colors with adjustable transparency, mitigated FVGs switch to gray preventing trades on filled zones
Liquidity Level Lines – Dashed horizontal lines extend from pivot creation points, swing highs in bearish color (short targets above), swing lows in bullish color (long targets below), opacity decreases with age
Structure Labels – "BOS" labels appear above/below price when Break of Structure confirmed, colored by direction (green bullish, red bearish), positioned at 1% beyond highs/lows for visibility
Educational Info Panel – Bottom-right table explains key terminology (OB, FVG, BOS, CHoCH) and score interpretation (>70 high probability) with semi-transparent background for readability

Fair Value Gap Retracement Trading – When price creates FVG during strong move then retraces, enter as price approaches unfilled gap expecting institutional orders to continue trend
Liquidity Sweep Reversals – Monitor price approaching swing high/low liquidity zones against prevailing Smart Money Score trend, after stop hunt sweep watch for rejection into premium Order Block/FVG
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Setups – Identify alignment when current timeframe Order Block coincides with higher timeframe FVG plus MTF analysis showing matching trend bias
Break of Structure Continuations – After BOS confirms trend direction, trade pullbacks to nearest Order Block or FVG in direction of structure break using Smart Money Score >70 as entry filter
Change of Character Reversal Plays – When CHoCH detected indicating potential reversal, look for Smart Money Score pivot with opposing Order Block formation then enter on structure confirmation
⚠️Limitations
Lagging Pivot Calculations – Pivot-based features (Liquidity Zones, Market Structure) require bars to right of pivot for confirmation, meaning these elements identify levels retrospectively with delay equal to lookback period
Whipsaw in Ranging Markets – During choppy conditions, Order Blocks fail frequently and structure breaks produce false signals as Smart Money Score fluctuates without clear institutional bias, best used in trending markets
Volume Data Dependency – Order Block volume validation requires accurate volume data which may be incomplete on Forex pairs or limited in crypto exchange feeds
Subjectivity in Scoring Weights – Proprietary 25-20-20-20-15 weighting reflects general institutional behavior but may not optimize for specific instruments or market regimes, user cannot adjust factor weights
Visual Complexity on Lower Timeframes – Sub-hour timeframes generate excessive zones creating cluttered charts, requires aggressive display limit reduction and higher minimum thresholds
No Fundamental Integration – Indicator analyzes purely technical price action and volume without incorporating economic events, news catalysts, or fundamental shifts that override technical levels
💡What Makes This Unique
Unified SMC Ecosystem – Unlike indicators displaying Order Blocks OR FVGs OR Liquidity separately, SMFI combines all three institutional concepts plus market structure into single cohesive system
Proprietary Confidence Scoring – Rather than manual setup assessment, automated Smart Money Score quantifies probability by weighting five institutional dimensions into actionable 0-100 rating
Volume-Filtered Quality – Eliminates weak Order Blocks forming without institutional volume confirmation, ensuring displayed zones represent genuine accumulation/distribution
Adaptive Lifecycle Management – Automatically updates mitigation status and removes aged zones preventing trades on dead levels through continuous validity and age monitoring
Educational Integration – Built-in tooltips, labeled zones, and reference panel make indicator functional for both learning Smart Money Concepts and executing strategies
🔬How It Works
Order Block Detection – Scans for patterns where strong directional move follows counter-move creating last down-candle before rally (bullish OB) or last up-candle before sell-off (bearish OB), validates formations only when candle exhibits volume exceeding configurable multiple (default 1.5x) of 20-bar average volume
Fair Value Gap Identification – Compares current candle’s high/low against two-candles-prior low/high to detect price imbalances, calculates gap size as percentage of close and filters micro-gaps below minimum threshold (default 0.3%), monitors whether subsequent price fills 50% triggering mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapping – Employs pivot detection using configurable lookback (default 50 bars) to identify swing highs/lows where retail stops cluster, extends horizontal reference lines from pivot creation and applies age-based filtering to remove stale zones
Market Structure Analysis – Tracks pivot progression using structure-specific lookback (default 5 bars) to determine trend, confirms uptrend when new pivot high exceeds previous by minimum move percentage, detects Break of Structure when price breaks recent pivot level, flags Change of Character for potential reversals
Multi-Timeframe Confluence – When enabled, requests security data from higher timeframe (current TF × HTF multiplier, default 4x), compares HTF close against HTF 20-period MA to determine bias, contributes ±50 points to score ensuring alignment with institutional positioning on superior timeframe
Smart Money Score Calculation – Evaluates Order Block component via ATR-normalized distance producing max 100-point contribution weighted at 25%, assesses FVG factor through age penalty and distance at 20% weight, calculates Liquidity proximity at 20%, incorporates structure bias (±50-100 points) at 20%, adds MTF component at 15%, applies 3-period smoothing to reduce volatility
Visual Rendering and Lifecycle – Draws Order Block boxes, Fair Value Gap rectangles with color coding (green/red active, gray mitigated), extends liquidity dashed lines with fade-by-age opacity, plots BOS labels, displays Smart Money Score dashboard, continuously updates checking mitigation conditions and removing elements exceeding age/display limits
💡Note:
The Smart Money Flow Index combines multiple Smart Money Concepts into unified institutional order flow analysis. For optimal results, use the Smart Money Score as confluence filter rather than standalone entry signal – scores above 70 indicate high-probability setups but should be combined with risk management, higher timeframe bias, and market regime understanding.
Oversold Screener · Webhook v3.3#Oversold Screener · Webhook v3.3
US Equities · 15-minute signals · AVWAP entries A–F · Optional CVD gate
## TL;DR
This indicator finds short-term, emotion-driven selloffs in large, liquid US stocks and pings your webhook with a compact alert (symbol + 15-minute close time).
It anchors an Event-AVWAP at the first qualified 15-minute bar after the selloff and proposes disciplined “right-side” entries (A–F) as price mean-reverts back through statistically defined bands. Optional macro fuses and CVD filters help avoid catching knives.
---
## What it does
1. Universe filter (off-chart): You run this on constituents of S&P 500 / Nasdaq-100 / Nasdaq Golden Dragon (or your curated list of healthy companies).
2. Signal (Step-2): On the 15-minute timeframe—including extended hours—the script flags an “oversold event” when:
• Depth: Today’s drawdown vs yesterday’s RTH reference (min of yesterday’s VWAP and Close) is large.
• Relative: The stock underperforms both its market benchmark (e.g., SPY/QQQ) and its sector ETF over the same 16/32×15m windows.
• Macro fuses: If any of the following exceed thresholds, the signal is suppressed: VIX spike, market 16/32×15m selloff, sector 16/32×15m selloff.
• RSI guard: 1-hour RSI is below a configurable level (default 30).
• Cooldown: De-dupes repeated events; you won’t be spammed by the same name intraday.
3. Execution geometry: At the event bar’s close the indicator anchors an AVWAP calculated natively in 15m space and draws ±1σ/±2σ/±3σ bands from a rolling variance of typical price.
4. Entry proposals: It labels A–F entries when price regains key bands after first probing the lower ones (see below). Optional 15m CVD confirmation can be required.
5. Alerts: When the event closes, TradingView raises a single alert with a tiny JSON payload so your downstream AI/service can do the news check and decide.
---
## Why this approach works
• Depth vs yesterday’s RTH reference targets “fresh” dislocations rather than slow trends.
• Relative filters ensure the stock fell much more than both the market and its sector, isolating idiosyncratic panic.
• AVWAP from the event bar approximates the market’s true average position after the shock; band reclaims are robust right-side confirmations.
• Optional CVD (delta volume) catches sell-side exhaustion and buy-side emergence without requiring a full order-book feed.
• Macro fuses (VIX / market / sector) avoid swimming against systemic stress.
---
## Inputs (key)
Bench ETF / Sector ETF
Choose your market (SPY or QQQ) and sector ETF (XLK/XLF/XLY… or KWEB/CQQQ for China tech ADRs).
Depth & relative settings (15-minute space)
• Depth vs prior-day RTH reference: percentage thresholds for 16 and 32 bars.
• Relative to market & sector: underperformance thresholds over 16 and 32 bars.
Macro circuit breakers
• VIX max change (e.g., +8%/+12% over the session)
• Market max 16/32×15m selloff (e.g., −1.5% / −2.5%)
• Sector max 16/32×15m selloff (e.g., −2.0% / −3.0%)
If any one exceeds the limit, the signal is suppressed.
Momentum guard
• RSI(1h) < 30 (configurable).
AVWAP band engine (15m native)
• Bands: ±1σ / ±2σ / ±3σ with EMA smoothing and optional σ cap.
• Settling bars after anchor (default 1–3) to reduce immediate whipsaws.
Entry toggles
• Enable/disable A, B, C, D, E, F individually.
• Optional CVD gate (on/off), lookback window and reversal thresholds.
Housekeeping
• Debounce per ticker and per entry type.
• Entry window length (default 1 week) and per-type cap (show top 3 per event).
• Webhook on/off.
---
## Entries (A–F)
These are right-side confirmations; each requires first touching the prerequisite lower band before reclaiming a higher one.
A Touch ≤ −2σ, then cross up through −1σ (classic exhaustion → relief).
B Touch ≤ −1σ, then reclaim AVWAP (crowd average changes hands).
C Break −1σ up, retest near −1σ within N bars, then bounce (retest confirmation).
D After compression (low ATR%), reclaim AVWAP (coiled spring).
E Touch ≤ −2σ, then reclaim AVWAP after a base (deeper flush → stronger reclaim).
F Touch ≤ −3σ, then cross up through −1σ (capitulation → violent mean reversion).
Optional CVD gate (15m): require sell-pressure exhaustion and a CVD turn-up before validating entries. Defaults are conservative so that A/F remain the highest-quality.
---
## Alert payload (minimal by design)
On event close, one alert is fired with a tiny JSON:
{
"event": "step2_signal",
"symbol": "TSLA",
"ts_15m_ms": 1730879700000
}
Use “Once per bar close” and the 15-minute chart. Your webhook receiver can enrich with fundamentals/news and decide Allow / Hold / Reject, then monitor A–F entries for execution.
---
## How to use
1. Run on your 15-minute chart with extended session enabled.
2. Create one alert per chart (or use TradingView’s multi-chart / watchlist alerts if you have Pro+).
3. Your backend ingests the minimal payload, fetches news and fundamentals, and returns a decision.
4. For Allowed names, watch the on-chart A–F labels; scale in across levels, scale out into upper HVNs/POC or AVWAP give-back.
---
## Defaults that work well
• RSI(1h) < 30
• Depth vs yesterday’s RTH ref: ≤ −4% (16 bars), ≤ −6% (32 bars)
• Relative to market/sector: ≤ −3% (16 bars), ≤ −4% (32 bars)
• Macro fuses: VIX day change ≤ +10%; market ≤ −2.0% / −3.0%; sector ≤ −2.5% / −3.5%
• AVWAP bands: EMA(σ)=3; σ cap off; settle ≥ 1 bar
• CVD gate off initially; enable after you’re comfortable with its behavior.
---
## Notes & limitations
• Indicator, not a strategy: it proposes event points and entries; position sizing and exits are up to you.
• Designed for US equities with ample liquidity; thin names will be noisy.
• Repainting: AVWAP and bands are anchored and do not repaint; entries are evaluated on bar close.
• To keep charts readable, we limit entry labels to the first three occurrences per type within the one-week window.
---
## What’s new in v3.3
• 15-minute event engine (always 15m, independent of the chart you view).
• Depth measured vs yesterday’s RTH VWAP/CLOSE (the lower of the two).
• Removed structure-health (SMA50 coverage) and MA50/200 position checks.
• Macro circuit breakers: VIX + market + sector thresholds; any one trips a fuse.
• RSI guard moved to 1-hour.
• AVWAP bands include ±3σ and new Entry F (−3σ → −1σ reclaim).
• Optional 15m CVD gate for entries.
• Minimal webhook payload for fast downstream AI checks.
• Debounce + entry-window caps to prevent over-labeling and to focus the week after the event.
• Numerous performance and stability tweaks in the 15m security sandbox.

## 🎯 What is a Pinbar?
A **Pinbar (Pin Bar/Pinocchio Bar)** is a single candlestick pattern that indicates a potential price reversal:
### Bullish Pinbar (BUY Signal)
- **Long lower wick** (rejection of lower prices)
- **Small body at the top** of the candle
- Shows buyers rejected sellers' attempt to push price down
- Forms at support levels or swing lows
- Entry signal for LONG positions
### Bearish Pinbar (SELL Signal)
- **Long upper wick** (rejection of higher prices)
- **Small body at the bottom** of the candle
- Shows sellers rejected buyers' attempt to push price up
- Forms at resistance levels or swing highs
- Entry signal for SHORT positions
---
## 🔧 How the Indicator Works
### 1. **Pinbar Detection Logic**
The indicator analyzes the **previous closed bar ** to identify pinbar patterns:
```
Bullish Pinbar Requirements:
- Lower wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable)
- Upper wick < 28% of total candle range
- Close > Open (bullish candle body)
Bearish Pinbar Requirements:
- Upper wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable)
- Lower wick < 28% of total candle range
- Close < Open (bearish candle body)
```
**Why check ?** By analyzing the previous completed bar, we ensure the pattern is fully formed and won't change, preventing repainting.
---
### 2. **Three-Layer Filter System**
#### 🔍 **Filter #1: ATR (Average True Range) Filter**
- **Purpose**: Ensures the pinbar has significant size
- **Function**: Only signals if pinbar range ≥ ATR value
- **Benefit**: Filters out small, insignificant pinbars
- **Settings**:
- Enable/Disable toggle
- ATR Period (default: 7)
**Example**: If ATR = 50 pips, only pinbars with 50+ pip range will signal.
---
#### 🔍 **Filter #2: SWING Filter** (Always Active)
- **Purpose**: Confirms pinbar forms at swing highs/lows
- **Function**: Validates the pinbar is an absolute high/low
- **Benefit**: Identifies true reversal points
- **Settings**:
- Swing Candles (default: 3)
**How it works**:
- For bullish pinbar: Checks if low is lowest of past 3 bars
- For bearish pinbar: Checks if high is highest of past 3 bars
**Example**: With 3 swing candles, a bullish pinbar must have the lowest low among the last 3 bars.
---
#### 🔍 **Filter #3: RSI (Relative Strength Index) Filter**
- **Purpose**: Confirms momentum conditions
- **Function**: Prevents signals in extreme momentum zones
- **Benefit**: Avoids counter-trend trades
- **Settings**:
- Enable/Disable toggle
- RSI Period (default: 7)
- RSI Source (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4)
- Overbought Level (default: 70)
- Oversold Level (default: 30)
**Logic**:
- Bullish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI < 70 (not overbought)
- Bearish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI > 30 (not oversold)
---
### 3. **Stop Loss Calculation**
Two methods available:
#### Method A: ATR-Based Stop Loss (Recommended)
```
Bullish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar Low - (1 × ATR)
Bearish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar High + (1 × ATR)
```
**Benefit**: Dynamic stops that adapt to market volatility
#### Method B: Fixed Pips Stop Loss
```
Bullish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar Low - (Fixed Pips)
Bearish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar High + (Fixed Pips)
```
**Settings**:
- Calculate Stop with ATR (toggle)
- Stop Pips without ATR (default: 5)
---
### 4. **Take Profit Calculation**
Take Profit is calculated based on Risk:Reward ratio:
```
Bullish Trade:
TP = Entry + (Entry - SL) × Risk:Reward Ratio
Bearish Trade:
TP = Entry - (SL - Entry) × Risk:Reward Ratio
```
**Example**:
- Entry: 1.2000
- SL: 1.1950 (50 pip risk)
- RR: 2:1
- TP: 1.2100 (100 pip reward = 50 × 2)
**Settings**:
- Risk:Reward Ratio (default: 1.0, range: 0.1 to 10.0)
---

## 🚫 Non-Repainting Architecture
### What is Repainting?
**Repainting** occurs when an indicator's historical signals differ from what appeared in real-time. This makes backtesting unreliable and can lead to false confidence in a strategy.
### How This Indicator Prevents Repainting
1. **Closed Bar Analysis**
- All calculations use ` ` offset (previous bar)
- Only analyzes COMPLETED candles
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar closes
2. **Confirmed Swing Points**
- Waits for sufficient bar history before signaling
- Only checks historical bars that cannot change
- Prevents premature swing detection
3. **Static Alert Timing**
- Alerts fire only after bar completion
- No conditional logic that changes historically
- Same results in replay mode and live trading
### Verification Method
To verify non-repainting behavior:
1. Apply indicator to chart
2. Note signal locations and prices
3. Refresh browser / reload chart
4. **Signals remain in exact same locations**
---
## 💼 Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Entry Rules
**For Bullish Pinbar (LONG):**
1. Wait for green triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar high
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
**For Bearish Pinbar (SHORT):**
1. Wait for red triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar low
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
### Risk Management
- **Position Sizing**: Risk only 1-2% of account per trade
- **Stop Loss**: Always use the calculated SL (never move it wider)
- **Take Profit**: Use calculated TP or trail stop after 1:1 RR
- **Multiple Timeframes**: Confirm signals on higher timeframe
### Best Practices
✅ **DO:**
- Wait for bar to close before entering
- Trade in direction of higher timeframe trend
- Use on liquid markets with clear support/resistance
- Combine with price action analysis
- Keep a trading journal
❌ **DON'T:**
- Enter before bar closes (prevents seeing full pattern)
- Trade against strong trends
- Ignore the filters (they improve win rate)
- Risk more than 2% per trade
- Trade every signal (be selective)

## 🎓 Understanding the Filters
### Why Use Multiple Filters?
Single-indicator systems often generate too many false signals. This indicator uses a **confluence approach**:
1. **Pinbar Pattern** = Price rejection detected
2. **+ SWING Filter** = Rejection at key level
3. **+ ATR Filter** = Significant move
4. **+ RSI Filter** = Favorable momentum
**Result**: Higher probability setups with better risk:reward
### Filter Optimization
**Conservative Settings** (Fewer, Higher Quality Signals):
- ATR Filter: ON
- Swing Candles: 5
- RSI Filter: ON
- Shadow %: 75%
**Aggressive Settings** (More Signals, More Noise):
- ATR Filter: OFF
- Swing Candles: 2
- RSI Filter: OFF
- Shadow %: 65%
**Balanced Settings** (Recommended):
- ATR Filter: ON
- Swing Candles: 3
- RSI Filter: OFF (or ON for trending markets)
- Shadow %: 72%
---
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
### "No Signals Appearing"
**Possible Causes:**
1. Filters are too strict
2. No pinbars forming on chart
3. Insufficient bar history
**Solutions:**
- Reduce Shadow % to 65%
- Reduce Swing Candles to 2
- Disable ATR or RSI filters temporarily
- Check that chart has enough data loaded
### "Too Many Signals"
**Solutions:**
- Enable ATR filter
- Increase Swing Candles to 4-5
- Enable RSI filter
- Increase Shadow % to 75-80%
### "Signals Appearing Late"
**This is normal behavior!** The indicator:
- Analyzes previous closed bar
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar
- This is what prevents repainting
- Signal latency is 1 bar (by design)

Advanced Psychological Levels with Dynamic Spacing═══════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS WITH DYNAMIC SPACING
═══════════════════════════════════════
A comprehensive psychological price level indicator that automatically identifies and displays round number levels across multiple timeframes. Features dynamic ATR-based spacing, smart crypto detection, distance tracking, and customizable alert system.
───────────────────────────────────────
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
───────────────────────────────────────
This indicator automatically draws psychological price levels (round numbers) that often act as support and resistance:
- Dynamic ATR-Based Spacing - Adapts level spacing to market volatility
- Multiple Level Types - Major (250 pip), Standard (100 pip), Mid, and Intraday levels
- Smart Asset Detection - Automatically adjusts for Forex, Crypto, Indices, and CFDs
- Crypto Price Adaptation - Intelligent level spacing based on cryptocurrency price magnitude
- Distance Information Table - Real-time percentage distance to nearest levels
- Combined Level Labels - Clear identification when multiple level types coincide
- Performance Optimized - Configurable visible range and label limits
- Comprehensive Alerts - Notifications when price crosses any level type
───────────────────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
───────────────────────────────────────
PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS CONCEPT:
Psychological levels are round numbers where traders tend to place orders, creating natural support and resistance zones. These include:
- Forex: 1.0000, 1.0100, 1.0050 (pips)
- Crypto: $100, $1,000, $10,000 (whole numbers)
- Indices: 10,000, 10,500, 11,000 (points)
Why They Matter:
- Traders naturally gravitate to round numbers
- Stop losses cluster at these levels
- Take profit orders concentrate here
- Institutional algorithmic trading often targets these levels
DYNAMIC ATR-BASED SPACING:
Traditional Method:
- Fixed spacing regardless of volatility
- May be too tight in volatile markets
- May be too wide in quiet markets
Dynamic Method (Recommended):
- Uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure volatility
- Automatically adjusts level spacing
- Tighter levels in low volatility
- Wider levels in high volatility
Calculation:
1. Calculate ATR over specified period (default: 14)
2. Multiply by ATR multiplier (default: 2.0)
3. Round to nearest psychological level
4. Generate levels at dynamic intervals
Benefits:
- Adapts to market conditions
- More relevant levels in all volatility regimes
- Reduces clutter in trending markets
- Provides more detail in ranging markets
LEVEL TYPES:
Major Levels (250 pip/point):
- Highest significance
- Primary support/resistance zones
- Color: Red (default)
- Style: Solid lines
- Spacing: 2.5x standard step
Standard Levels (100 pip/point):
- Secondary importance
- Common psychological barriers
- Color: Blue (default)
- Style: Dashed lines
- Spacing: Standard step
Mid Levels (50% between major):
- Optional intermediate levels
- Halfway between major levels
- Color: Gray (default)
- Style: Dotted lines
- Usage: Additional confluence points
Intraday Levels (sub-100 pip):
- For intraday traders
- Fine-grained precision
- Color: Yellow (default)
- Style: Dotted lines
- Only shown on intraday timeframes
SMART ASSET DETECTION:
Forex Pairs:
- Detects major currency pairs automatically
- Uses pip-based calculations
- Standard: 100 pips (0.0100)
- Major: 250 pips (0.0250)
- Intraday: 20, 50, 80 pip subdivisions
Cryptocurrencies:
- Automatic price magnitude detection
- Adaptive spacing based on price:
* Under $0.10: Levels at $0.01, $0.05
* $0.10-$1: Levels at $0.10, $0.50
* $1-$10: Levels at $1, $5
* $10-$100: Levels at $10, $50
* $100-$1,000: Levels at $100, $500
* $1,000-$10,000: Levels at $1,000, $5,000
* Over $10,000: Levels at $5,000, $10,000
Indices & CFDs:
- Fixed point-based system
- Major: 500 point intervals (with 250 sub-levels)
- Standard: 100 point intervals
- Suitable for stock indices like SPX, NASDAQ
COMBINED LEVEL LABELS:
When multiple level types coincide at the same price:
- Single line drawn (highest priority color)
- Combined label shows all types
- Priority: Major > Standard > Mid > Intraday
Example Label Formats:
- "1.1000 Major" - Major level only
- "1.1000 Std + Major" - Both standard and major
- "50000 Intra + Mid + Std" - Three levels coincide
Benefits:
- Cleaner chart appearance
- Clear identification of confluence
- Reduced visual clutter
- Easy to spot high-importance levels
DISTANCE INFORMATION TABLE:
Real-time tracking of nearest levels:
Table Contents:
- Nearest major level above (price and % distance)
- Nearest standard level above (price and % distance)
- Nearest standard level below (price and % distance)
Display:
- Top right corner (configurable)
- Color-coded by level type
- Real-time percentage calculations
- Helpful for position management
Usage:
- Identify proximity to key levels
- Set realistic profit targets
- Gauge potential move magnitude
- Monitor approaching resistance/support
ALERT SYSTEM:
Comprehensive crossing alerts:
Alert Types:
- Major Level Crosses
- Standard Level Crosses
- Intraday Level Crosses
Alert Modes:
- First Cross Only: Alert once when level is crossed
- All Crosses: Alert every time level is crossed

───────────────────────────────────────
HOW TO USE
───────────────────────────────────────
INITIAL SETUP:
General Settings:
1. Enable "Use Dynamic ATR-Based Spacing" (recommended)
2. Set ATR Period (14 is standard)
3. Adjust ATR Multiplier (2.0 is balanced)
Visibility Settings:
1. Set Visible Range % (10% recommended for clarity)
2. Adjust Label Offset for readability
3. Configure performance limits if needed
Level Selection:
1. Enable/disable level types based on trading style
2. Adjust line counts for each type
3. Choose line styles and colors for visibility
TRADING STRATEGIES:
Breakout Trading:
1. Wait for price to approach major or standard level
2. Monitor for consolidation near level
3. Enter on confirmed break above/beyond level
4. Stop loss just beyond the broken level
5. Target: Next major or standard level
Rejection Trading:
1. Identify major psychological level
2. Wait for price to test the level
3. Look for rejection signals (wicks, bearish/bullish candles)
4. Enter in direction of rejection
5. Stop beyond the level
6. Target: Previous level or mid-level
Range Trading:
1. Identify range between two major levels
2. Buy at lower psychological level
3. Sell at upper psychological level
4. Use standard and mid-levels for position management
5. Exit if major level breaks with volume
Confluence Trading:
1. Look for combined levels (Std + Major)
2. These represent high-probability zones
3. Use as primary support/resistance
4. Increase position size at confluence
5. Expect stronger reactions at these levels
Session-Based Trading:
1. Note opening level at session start (Asian/London/NY)
2. Trade breakouts of major levels during high-volume sessions
3. London/NY sessions: More likely to break levels
4. Asian session: More likely to respect levels (range trading)
RISK MANAGEMENT WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS:
Stop Loss Placement:
- Place stops just beyond psychological levels
- Add buffer (5-10 pips for forex)
- Avoid exact round numbers (stop hunting risk)
- Use previous major level as maximum stop
Take Profit Strategy:
- First target: Next standard level (partial profit)
- Second target: Next major level (remaining position)
- Trail stops to breakeven at first target
- Use distance table to calculate risk/reward
Position Sizing:
- Larger positions at major levels (higher probability)
- Smaller positions at intraday levels (lower probability)
- Scale in at standard levels between major levels
- Reduce size when multiple levels are close together
TIMEFRAME CONSIDERATIONS:
Higher Timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly):
- Focus on Major and Standard levels only
- Disable Intraday and Mid levels
- Wider level spacing expected
- Use for swing trading and position trading
Lower Timeframes (5m, 15m, 1H):
- Enable all level types
- Use Intraday levels for precision
- Tighter level spacing acceptable
- Good for day trading and scalping
Multi-Timeframe Approach:
- Identify major levels on Daily/4H charts
- Refine entries using 15m/1H intraday levels
- Trade in direction of higher timeframe bias
- Use lower timeframe levels for position management

BEST PRACTICES
───────────────────────────────────────
Chart Setup:
- Use clean price action charts
- Avoid too many indicators
- Ensure psychological levels are clearly visible
- Match colors to your chart theme
Level Selection:
- Start with Major and Standard levels only
- Add Mid and Intraday as needed
- Less is more - avoid chart clutter
- Adjust based on timeframe
Combining with Other Tools:
- Volume profile for confluence
- Trendlines intersecting psychological levels
- Moving averages near round numbers
- Fibonacci levels coinciding with psychological levels
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Trading every level touch (be selective)
- Ignoring volume confirmation
- Setting stops exactly at levels (stop hunting)
- Forgetting to adjust for different assets
- Over-relying on levels without price action confirmation
Performance Optimization:
- Reduce visible range for faster loading
- Lower max historical bars on lower timeframes
- Limit labels to 30-50 for clarity
- Disable unused level types

EDUCATIONAL DISCLAIMER
───────────────────────────────────────
This indicator identifies psychological price levels based on round numbers that tend to act as support and resistance. The methodology includes:
- Round number detection algorithms
- ATR-based dynamic spacing calculations
- Asset-specific level determination
- Distance percentage calculations
Psychological levels are a recognized concept in technical analysis, studied by traders and institutions. However, they do not guarantee price reactions and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy including proper risk management, volume analysis, and price action confirmation.
───────────────────────────────────────
USAGE DISCLAIMER
───────────────────────────────────────
This tool is for educational and analytical purposes. Psychological levels can act as support or resistance but price reactions are not guaranteed. Dynamic spacing may generate different levels in different market conditions. Always conduct independent analysis, use proper risk management, and never risk capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance does not indicate future results.

Original Concept: Sonar Lab

General:
This indicator is designed for correlation analysis by classifying stocks (487 in total) and indices (14 in total) traded on Borsa İstanbul (BIST) on a sectoral basis.
Tradingview's sector classifications (20) have been strictly adhered to for sector grouping.
Depending on user preference, the analysis can be performed within sectors, between sectors, or manually (single asset).
Let me express my gratitude to the code author, @fikira, beforehand; you will find the reason for my thanks in the context.
Details:
First, let's briefly mention how this indicator could have been prepared using the classic method before going into details.
Classically, assets could be divided into groups of forty (40), and the analysis could be performed using the built-in function:
ta.correlation(source1, source2, length) → series float.
I chose sectoral classification because I believe there would be a higher probability of assets moving together, rather than using fixed-number classes.
In this case, 21 arrays were formed with the following number of elements:
(3, 11, 21, 60, 29, 20, 12, 3, 31, 5, 10, 11, 6, 48, 73, 62, 16, 19, 13, 34 and indices (14)).
However, you might have noticed that some arrays have more than 40 elements. This is exactly where @Fikira's indicator came to the rescue. When I examined their excellent indicator, I saw that it could process 120 assets in a single operation. (I believe this was the first limit overrun; thanks again.)
It was amazing to see that data for 3 pairs could be called in a single request using a special method.
You can find the details here:
When I adapted it for BIST, I found it sufficient to call data for 2 pairs instead of 3 in a single go. Since asset prices are regular and have 2 decimal places, I used a fixed multiplier of $10^8$ and a fixed decimal count of 2 in Fikira's formulas.
With this method, the (high, low, open, close) values became accessible for each asset.
The summary up to this point is that instead of the ready-made formula + groups of 40, I used variable-sized groups and the method I will detail now.
Correlation/harmony/co-movement between assets provides advantages to market participants. Coherent assets are expected to rise or fall simultaneously.
Therefore, to convert co-movement into a mathematical value, I defined the possible movements of the current candle relative to the previous candle bar over a certain period (user-defined). These are:
Up := high > high and low > low
Down := high < high and low < low
Inside := high <= high and low >= low
Outside := high >= high and low <= low and NOT Inside.
Ignore := high = low = open = close
If both assets performed the same movement, 1 was added to the tracking counter.
If (Up-Up), (Down-Down), (Inside-Inside), or (Outside-Outside), then counter := counter + 1.
If the period length is 100 and the counter is 75, it means there is 75% co-movement.
Corr = counter / period ($75/100$)
Average = ta.sma(Corr, 100) is obtained.
The highest coefficients recorded in the array are presented to the user in a table.
From the user menu options, the user can choose to compare:
• With assets in its own sector
• With assets in the selected sector
• By activating the confirmation box and manually entering a single asset for comparison.
Table display options can be adjusted from the Settings tab.
In the attached examples:
Results for AKBNK stock from the Finance sector compared with GARAN stock from the same sector:
Timeframe: Daily, Period: 50 => Harmony 76% (They performed the same movement in 38 out of 50 bars)
Comment: Opposite movements at swing high and low levels may indicate a change in the direction of the price flow (SMT).
Looking at ASELS from the Electronic Technology sector over the last 30 daily candles, they performed the same movements by 40% with XU100, 73.3% (22/30) with XUTEK (Technology Index), and 86.9% according to the averages.
Comment: It is more appropriate to follow ASELS stock with XUTEK (Technology index) instead of the general index (XU100). Opposite movements at swing high and low levels may indicate a change in the direction of the price flow (SMT).
Again, when ASELS stock is taken on H1 instead of daily, and the length is 100 instead of 30, the harmony rate is seen to be 87%.
Please share your thoughts and criticisms regarding the indicator, which I prepared with a bit of an educational purpose specifically for BIST.
Happy trading.
