Fractal Wave Hunter [JOAT]
Fractal Wave Hunter - Multi-Method Fractal Detection System
Introduction and Purpose
Fractal Wave Hunter is an open-source overlay indicator that identifies key reversal patterns using multiple fractal detection methods. The core problem this indicator solves is that different fractal methods catch different types of reversals. Williams' classic 5-bar fractal is reliable but slow; Hougaard's 4-bar method is faster but noisier. Using only one method means missing valid signals that the other would catch.
This indicator addresses that by combining both methods plus HOLP/LOHP detection, giving traders a comprehensive view of potential reversal points.
Why These Methods Work Together
Each fractal method has different characteristics:
1. 4-Bar Fractal (Hougaard Method) - Faster detection, identifies momentum shifts when close exceeds recent highs/lows. Best for catching early reversals.
2. Classic 5-Bar Fractal (Williams) - Traditional pivot detection requiring the middle bar to be the highest/lowest of 5 bars. Best for identifying significant swing points.
3. HOLP/LOHP - High of Low Period and Low of High Period signals identify when price makes a new extreme within a defined lookback. Best for trend exhaustion detection.
By combining these methods, traders can:
Use 4-bar fractals for early entry signals
Use 5-bar fractals for confirmation and stop placement
Use HOLP/LOHP for trend exhaustion warnings
How the Detection Works
4-Bar Fractal (Hougaard):
bool fractal4BuyBase = close > high and close > high
bool fractal4SellBase = close < low and close < low
Classic 5-Bar Fractal:
bool fractalHigh = high > high and high > high and high > high and high > high
bool fractalLow = low < low and low < low and low < low and low < low
Signal Types
4B (4-Bar Buy) - Close exceeds high and high - early bullish signal
4S (4-Bar Sell) - Close below low and low - early bearish signal
FH (Fractal High) - Classic 5-bar swing high - confirmed resistance
FL (Fractal Low) - Classic 5-bar swing low - confirmed support
HOLP - High of low period - potential bullish exhaustion
LOHP - Low of high period - potential bearish exhaustion
Dashboard Information
4-Bar Fractal - Count of bullish/bearish 4-bar fractals
Classic Fractal - Count of 5-bar fractal highs/lows
HOLP/LOHP - Reversal signal counts
Total Signals - Combined pattern count
How to Use This Indicator
For Counter-Trend Entries:
1. Wait for 4-bar fractal signal at key support/resistance
2. Confirm with 5-bar fractal forming nearby
3. Enter with stop beyond the fractal point
For Stop Placement:
1. Use 5-bar fractal highs/lows as stop-loss references
2. These represent confirmed swing points that should hold if trend continues
For Trend Analysis:
1. Track swing structure using fractal highs and lows
2. Higher fractal lows = uptrend structure
3. Lower fractal highs = downtrend structure
Input Parameters
Show 4-Bar Fractals (true) - Toggle Hougaard method signals
Show Classic Fractals (true) - Toggle Williams method signals
Show HOLP/LOHP (true) - Toggle exhaustion signals
ATR Filter (false) - Only show signals during volatile conditions
Swing Lines (true) - Connect significant swing points
Timeframe Recommendations
1H-Daily: Best for reliable fractal detection
15m-30m: More signals but higher noise
Weekly: Fewer but more significant fractals
Limitations
5-bar fractals have inherent 2-bar lag (need confirmation)
4-bar fractals can produce false signals in choppy markets
HOLP/LOHP signals work best at trend extremes
Not all fractals lead to significant reversals

Rolling Volume Structure: HVN & SentimentTitle:
Rolling Volume Structure: HVN & Sentiment
Description:
This indicator visualizes the distribution of volume over price levels for a user-defined rolling period. It is designed to identify structural market nodes (HVN/LVN) and correlate them with Pivot Points to filter out market noise.
NOTE: This script utilizes a mathematical array binning algorithm to calculate the profile efficiently on the chart timeframe, avoiding the runtime timeouts often associated with standard iterative volume profiles.
How it works (Technical Methodology)
Binning Algorithm: The script calculates the price range (Highest High - Lowest Low) of the lookback period and divides it into a fixed number of vertical bins defined by the Resolution input.
Volume Allocation: It iterates through historical bars once. The volume of each bar is assigned to the corresponding price bin based on the bar's closing price.
Sentiment Approximation: Since tick-level Bid/Ask data is not available for historical bars in standard Pine Script strategies, this indicator estimates directional volume based on candle polarity:
If Close > Open: Volume is categorized as "Up Volume" (Buying Sentiment).
If Close < Open: Volume is categorized as "Down Volume" (Selling Sentiment).
Disclaimer: This is a standard approximation for structural analysis and does not represent true tick-data delta.
Why this Combination? (Originality & Synergy)
This script addresses the problem of validating structural levels. Traders often use Pivots and Volume Profiles separately. This script combines them programmatically to provide context:
Pivot Confluence: A Pivot Point is only plotted if it aligns with significant volume structure.
HVN Validation: A pivot occurring within a High Volume Node (HVN) suggests a high-liquidity reversal zone, whereas a pivot in a Low Volume Node (LVN) may indicate a liquidity void or a "weak" high/low.
The Dashboard summarizes these metrics (Position relative to Value Area, Net Sentiment, and Trend), removing the need for multiple separate indicators.
Educational Use for Beginners
If you are new to Volume Profile, think of the market structure in these simple terms:
Value Area (VA): This is the "Fair Price" zone where 70% of trading happened. If price is inside here, the market is balanced. If price breaks out, it may be starting a trend.
HVN (High Volume Nodes - Colored Boxes): Think of these as "Traffic Jams". Price often slows down, bounces, or gets stuck here because there are many orders. They act as Support or Resistance.
LVN (Low Volume Nodes - Gray Strips): Think of these as "Empty Highways". Because there is little volume here, price tends to move through these zones very quickly to get to the next HVN.
Features
HVN (High Volume Nodes): Colored boxes highlighting areas of high accumulation.
LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Gray strips highlighting gaps or acceleration zones.
Value Area (VA): Displays the VAH, VAL, and PoC (Point of Control).
Volume-Filtered Pivots: Plots pivots only when supported by the profile structure.
Sentiment Coloring: The profile bins are colored based on the net bullish/bearish candle volume.
Settings
Rolling Period: The lookback window size (default 150 bars).
Resolution: Precision of the profile bins (higher = more detail, lower = smoother).
HVN Thresholds: Percentage of PoC volume required to identify a node.
Global Text Size: Adjusts labels and dashboard for 4K or standard screens.
Credits: The core binning logic is adapted from generic open-source array management concepts for custom volume profiles.

Quarter Point Autopilot v2.0.0Hello traders,
I am pleased to release the Quarter Point Autopilot . This is a specialized structural framework designed to impose mathematical order on price action by synthesizing major market cycles with fractal geometric subdivisions.
Defining accurate Support and Resistance often presents a dilemma: rely on subjective, manually drawn lines that vary from trader to trader, or clutter charts with lagging moving averages. The Quarter Point Autopilot solves this by quantifying "Algorithmic Geometry." It eliminates subjectivity by projecting a universal grid based on the mathematical quarter-points that institutional algorithms utilize to execute orders.
📐 The Concept: Algorithmic Geometry
To the untrained eye, price movement can appear chaotic or random. However, professional analysis reveals that markets move in measured "Steps." Large institutions do not place orders at random numbers; they utilize specific mathematical fractions of a Major Cycle to manage liquidity.
This indicator is specifically engineered to visualize this hidden framework. By defining a "Major Cycle" (Point A and Point B), the script calculates the entire universe of the chart. It mathematically subdivides the range into Halves, Quarters, Eighths, and Sixteenths, highlighting the precise levels where price creates "Structure" and where algorithmic reactions are most likely to occur.
⚙️ The Autopilot Logic: Infinite Scroll
In previous iterations of quarter-theory tools, traders were forced to manually redraw grids as price expanded into new territories.
This version introduces the "Autopilot" engine ( current_base logic ). The script dynamically detects which "Block" price is currently trading within and automatically projects the grid forward and backward in real-time. Whether price rallies 1,000 points or drops 500, the mathematical subdivisions snap to the correct integer block immediately, ensuring you never trade without context.
📊 Fractal Hierarchy
Not all levels are created equal. The indicator uses a visual hierarchy to help you distinguish the strength of a level at a glance:
Major Cycle: The "Hard Deck" boundaries of the range (0% / 100%).
Half-Major: The Equilibrium of the cycle (50%).
Large Quarters: The standard deviation points (25% / 75%).
Mid & Small Quarters: The granular detail (Eighths and Sixteenths) for precision entries.
User Guide:
Simply input two "Major Cycle Points" (a significant High and Low) in the settings. The script calculates the "Step Size" and handles the rest, projecting the grid relative to current price action.
Settings Include:
Calculation Group: Set your Point A and Point B to define the grid size.
Visual Group: Toggle the upper/lower buffers and customize the lookback/lookforward lengths to keep your chart clean.
Label Group: Choose to see Level Names, Prices, or both.
VRVP Clone + Multi-POC -- PerroGordoVRVP Clone + Multi-POC
Overview
VRVP Clone + Multi-POC replicates TradingView's native Visible Range Volume Profile with several practical enhancements. The indicator displays volume distribution across price levels for the visible chart range, which is useful for identifying high-volume nodes, support/resistance zones, and areas of price acceptance.
The main differentiator from the built-in VRVP is support for multiple Point of Control (POC) lines with an intelligent peak detection algorithm. Instead of just showing the single highest-volume level, you can identify distinct volume clusters across different price zones.
Features
Dynamic Visible Range
Recalculates automatically on scroll or zoom
Analyzes only visible bars
Profile width scales proportionally to view
Multiple POC Detection (1-8 levels)
Volume Nodes Mode: Peak detection algorithm finds local volume maxima across distinct price clusters
Highest Rows Mode: Traditional approach - top N rows by raw volume
Configurable minimum separation between nodes to prevent bunching
Individual colors for each POC level
Volume Display Modes
Up/Down: Split bars showing buy vs. sell volume with black outlines for visual separation
Total: Single bar colored by dominant direction
Delta: Net volume (buy minus sell)
Delta Intensity: Gradient coloring indicating buyer/seller dominance strength per row
Value Area
Configurable percentage (default 70%)
VAH and VAL lines with customizable styles
Separate colors for volume inside vs. outside the Value Area
Positioning Options
Left or Right placement
Adjustable profile width as percentage of visible range
Row configuration via "Number of Rows" or "Ticks Per Row"
Additional Features
Statistics table showing bars analyzed, total volume, up/down percentages, price vs POC
POC price labels on chart
Line style options (Solid, Dashed, Dotted)
+++++
How It Works
Volume from each bar is distributed across price rows based on the bar's high-low range. The allocation is proportional - if a bar spans 3 rows with 60% overlap on one row, that row receives 60% of the bar's volume.
Volume Nodes Mode identifies local peaks in the distribution (rows where volume exceeds both neighbors), then selects the highest peaks while enforcing minimum separation. This surfaces distinct support/resistance clusters rather than stacking all POC lines in a single high-volume area.

+++++
Applications
Support/Resistance Identification
High-volume nodes tend to act as price magnets. Multiple POCs reveal layered S/R zones that aren't visible with a single POC.
Fair Value Reference
The Value Area represents where 70% of volume traded. Price tends to revert to this zone.
Volume Gap Analysis
Low-volume areas between POCs indicate prices that were rejected quickly - potential breakout or breakdown levels.
Market Structure
Multiple POCs across price levels show where the market has found acceptance, useful for distinguishing range-bound conditions from trending moves.
+++++
Practical Notes
Volume Nodes mode with 3-5 POCs works well for identifying distinct S/R clusters
Higher row counts give more granular analysis on lower timeframes
Delta Intensity mode quickly shows buyer/seller dominance at each level without the visual noise of split bars
If POCs are too clustered, increase Min Node Separation; if too spread out, decrease it or set to 0 for auto
The stats table vs POC comparison is useful for quick directional bias assessment
+++++

Ichimoku With GradingDescription:
This indicator is an enhanced version of the classic Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, designed to provide traders with an objective, quantitative assessment of trend strength. By breaking down the complex Ichimoku system into specific conditions, this script calculates a "Total Score" to help visualize the confluence of bullish or bearish signals.
How It Works
The core of this script is a 7-Point Grading System. Instead of relying on a single crossover, the script evaluates 7 distinct Ichimoku conditions simultaneously.
The Grading Criteria:
Tenkan > Kijun: Checks for the classic TK Cross (1 point if Bullish, -1 if Bearish).
Price vs TK/KJ: Checks if the Close is above both the Tenkan and Kijun (Bullish) or below both (Bearish).
Future Cloud: Analyzes the Kumo (Cloud) projected 26 bars ahead. If Senkou Span A > Senkou Span B, it is bullish.
Chikou Span: The Lagging Span validation. It compares the current Close to the Highs, Lows, and Cloud levels of 26 bars ago to ensure there are no obstacles.
Close > Tenkan: Checks immediate short-term momentum.
Close > Current Senkou Span A: Checks if price is above the current cloud's Span A.
Close > Current Senkou Span B: Checks if price is above the current cloud's Span B.
Total Score & Signals:
Maximum Score (+7): When all 7 conditions are met, a Green Triangle is plotted above the bar, indicating a strong trend confluence.
Minimum Score (-7): When all 7 conditions are negative, a Red Triangle is plotted below the bar.
Neutral/Mixed: Scores between -6 and +6 indicate a mixed trend or consolidation phase.
Dashboard Features
A table is displayed in the top-right corner to provide real-time data:
Score Breakdown: Shows the status of every individual metric (1 or -1).
Total Score: The sum of all metrics.
Distance to Tenkan %: This calculates the percentage distance between the Close and the Tenkan-sen.
Usage: Traders often use the Tenkan-sen as a trailing stop-loss level. This percentage helps gauge how extended the price is from the mean; a high percentage may indicate an overextended move, while a low percentage indicates a tight consolidation.
How to Use Ichimoku Lines
Beyond the grading system, this indicator plots the standard Ichimoku lines, which are powerful tools for price action analysis:
Support & Resistance: The Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun-sen (Base Line) act as dynamic support and resistance levels. In a strong trend, price will often respect the Tenkan-sen. In a moderate trend, it may pull back to the Kijun-sen before continuing.
The Kumo (Cloud): The edges of the current cloud (Senkou Span A and B) act as major support and resistance zones. A thick cloud represents strong S/R, while a thin cloud is easily broken.
Trend Identification: Generally, if the price is above the Cloud, the trend is bullish. If below, it is bearish. If the price is inside the Cloud, the market is considered to be in a noise/ranging zone.
Screenshots
1. Bitcoin Daily View:
Here you can see the dashboard in action. The grading system helps filter out noise by requiring all conditions to align before generating a signal.
2. Gold (XAUUSD) Example:
An example of a bearish confluence where the score hit -7, triggering a sell signal as the price broke through all Ichimoku support levels.
3. Euro (EURUSD) Mixed State:
This example shows a market in transition. While some metrics are positive (Green), others are negative (Red), resulting in a score of 4. This prevents premature entries during choppy market conditions.
Settings
Lengths: All Ichimoku periods (Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou B, Displacement) are fully customizable in the settings menu to fit your preferred timeframe or trading style (e.g., Doubled settings for crypto).

🔧 How It Works
1. Pivot Detection
The indicator scans historical price action using configurable pivot strength to identify significant highs and lows. Extended lookback allows detection of major structural levels that shorter timeframes might miss.
2. Touch Validation
Each potential level is validated by counting how many times price has tested it within the specified touch detection range. Only levels meeting the minimum touch threshold are displayed.
3. Strength Ranking
Levels are ranked by:
Number of touches (primary)
Proximity to current price (secondary)
This ensures the most reliable and relevant levels are always shown.
4. Smart Filtering
The minimum distance filter prevents level clustering, keeping your chart clean and focusing only on distinct, actionable zones.
💡 Use Cases

The Institutional Anchor (Daily OC Zone)The Institutional Anchor (Daily OC)
This indicator is a high-performance tool for traders who rely on "Institutional Candles" or "Opening Candles" (OC) to define their daily bias. Built on the latest Pine Script® v6 engine, it provides a stable, non-repainting foundation for identifying key institutional support and resistance levels.
Core Features & Technical Edge
1. Dual-Mode Zone Definition
Traders have different ways of defining institutional strength. This script supports both methods to suit your specific strategy:
Body-Only Mode: Focuses on the "Real Move" by using the Open and Close of the anchor candle.
Full Range Mode (Wicks): Accounts for total liquidity grabs and volatility by including the High and Low.
2. Precision Equilibrium (Mean Threshold)
In institutional trading, the 50% level of a candle is the "Fair Value" or Mean Threshold.
Includes a customizable Midline with independent styling (Solid, Dashed, Dotted).
Automatically calculates the exact mathematical center, helping you spot high-probability rejections at the "Equilibrium" of the move.
3. Professional Visualization Suite
Global Timezone Alignment: A built-in UTC Offset ensures you can align with New York (UTC-5), London (UTC+0), or your specific exchange time without manual calculations.
Auto-Naming System: Automatically labels zones with the Day of the Week (e.g., "Monday OC") to help you track weekly cycles and "Power of 3" (Accumulation/Manipulation/Distribution).
Historical Memory: Choose to show only the current day's active zone for a clean workspace, or display historical zones to find "nested" levels from previous days.
4. Dynamic Price Action Alerts
Stay notified without being glued to the screen. The script includes pre-configured, logically consistent alert conditions:
Equilibrium Touch: Triggers the moment price interacts with the 50% Mean Threshold.
Boundary Breach: Notifies you when price exits or taps the upper or lower edges of the zone.
5. Universal Market Compatibility
BTC & Crypto Optimized: Handles 24/7 data streams flawlessly without logic gaps.
Forex Precision: Perfect for London Open or Midnight Open strategies on pairs like EUR/USD.
Non-Repainting: Once the anchor hour closes, the zone is locked, providing a reliable reference point for the rest of the trading day.
How to Use
Market Open Hour: Enter the hour (24h format) of your chosen anchor candle (e.g., 2 for 2:00 AM).
UTC Offset: Match the offset to your preferred trading session time.
Customize Style: Adjust colors, transparency, and line styles to match your chart theme.

Nifty OI Support Resistance This study is designed for educational purposes to assist traders in analyzing price structure on the Nifty 50 index. It creates visual reference zones based on standard mathematical intervals used in the derivatives market.
Purpose of the Tool: In the Nifty 50 index, price action is often analyzed relative to "Round Numbers" or standard strike intervals (e.g., multiples of 50). This script automatically plots these mathematical reference levels relative to the current price to help users observe price behavior.
How It Works: This indicator uses a mathematical formula to identify the nearest standard strike price intervals based on the current close price.
Strike Logic: It projects levels at standard 50-point intervals (Nifty's standard strike distance).
Volatility Buffers: It adds a user-defined buffer (default: 30 points) around these levels to visualize a "zone" rather than a specific price point.
Major Levels: It visually distinguishes major round numbers (multiples of 500) which are often significant for technical analysis.
Features:
Automated Plotting: Adjusts dynamically as price moves to show relevant upper and lower reference bands.
Zone Visualization: Helps in identifying potential areas of support or resistance based on technical structure.
Customizable: Users can adjust the strike distance and buffer range to suit different volatility conditions.
Usage: This tool is intended to be used as a visual aid for Technical Analysis. It allows users to see where the price is located relative to standard Nifty intervals.

Gridbot Ping Pong🏓 Gridbot Ping Pong is a dynamic grid bot indicator that generates buy and sell signals as price oscillates between automatically calculated support and resistance levels. The grid adapts to trending markets through adjustable tilt and anchor parameters, which control the grid slope and shift resistance respectively. Entry signals trigger when price touches grid levels, while take profit and stop signals manage position exits. Unlike traditional grid bots that require horizontal ranges, this indicator maintains its oscillation zone as price trends by tilting and shifting the grid structure to follow momentum. The grid bot approach aims to accumulate gains through frequent touches across multiple grid levels rather than seeking large directional moves. Like a ping pong ball in motion, price oscillates between grid levels — each touch generates a signal.
⚡ THEORY & CONCEPTS ⚡
Grid trading is a systematic approach that places buy and sell orders at predetermined price intervals, creating a grid of orders above and below a set price level. In ranging markets, this method capitalizes on natural price oscillations by buying at lower grid levels and selling at higher ones. Each completed round trip between levels represents a captured opportunity, and the frequency of these oscillations determines the grid's effectiveness. Traditional grid bots excel when price remains within the defined range, methodically accumulating gains as price bounces between levels.
However, traditional grid structures face significant challenges when markets begin to trend. Fixed horizontal levels that performed well during consolidation become liabilities during directional moves. An uptrend leaves buy orders unfilled while sell orders trigger prematurely, and a downtrend creates the opposite problem. Extended trends can result in accumulated positions at increasingly unfavorable prices, with no mechanism to adapt to the new market reality. The static nature of traditional grids assumes markets will return to the mean, yet sustained breakouts regularly invalidate this assumption.
Gridbot Ping Pong addresses these limitations through dynamic grid adaptation. The tilt parameter angles the grid in the direction of the prevailing trend, aligning support and resistance levels with market momentum rather than fighting against it. The anchor parameter creates buffer zones beyond the outer grid boundaries, requiring price to demonstrate conviction before triggering a grid shift. When price breaks through these buffers, the entire grid recenters to the new price level. This combination of tilting grids and controlled shifting allows the indicator to maintain grid trading mechanics while acknowledging that markets trend.
The grid adapts through a downtrend and early reversal. Entry signals (▲▼), take profit signals (△▽), and grid shifts demonstrate the ping pong sequence as price oscillates between levels.
The grid structure consists of five levels: two potential support levels below, a center base price, and two potential resistance levels above. These levels are calculated as percentage intervals from a dynamic base price, with the spacing parameter determining the distance between each level. Trend direction is derived from consecutive grid shifts, where multiple shifts in the same direction confirm momentum. The grid restricts entries to the trend direction — buy signals in uptrends, sell signals in downtrends — while counter-trend signals convert to exits when appropriate.
Full market cycle demonstrating grid adaptation through rally, reversal, decline, and recovery. Buy signals dominate during uptrends, sell signals during downtrends, with take profits at boundaries throughout. Two stop signals mark the trend reversals.
Tilt
The tilt mechanic introduces slope to the grid structure based on trend direction and momentum. When consecutive shifts occur in the same direction, the tilt increases, creating a steeper grid that tracks with the trend. As the trend progresses, support levels rise with it — buy signals trigger on pullbacks to these rising levels rather than static levels abandoned by price. Similarly, resistance levels fall during downtrends, keeping sell signals relevant to current price action. If the trend reverses and shifts occur in the opposite direction, the tilt resets and begins building in the new direction. The tilt strength parameter controls how aggressively the grid slopes, with higher values producing steeper angles. Negative tilt values invert this relationship, angling the grid against the prevailing momentum rather than with it. This counter-trend configuration positions support levels lower during uptrends and resistance levels higher during downtrends, favoring mean reversion entries that anticipate pullbacks rather than continuation.
Negative tilt applied during an uptrend. Despite the bullish price action from late November through December, the grids slope downward, positioning buy signals at deeper support levels. Take profit signals appear at resistance as price reaches the upper grid boundaries before pulling back. The counter-trend configuration captures oscillations within the rising market rather than chasing momentum.
Anchor
The anchor mechanic provides resistance to grid shifting. Buffer zones extend beyond the outer grid boundaries, requiring price to demonstrate conviction before triggering a shift. Higher anchor values create larger buffers, requiring more significant price movement. As consecutive shifts confirm a trend, the pro-trend buffer shrinks, allowing the grid to follow momentum with increasing ease. This lets the indicator commit to established trends while resisting premature shifts during consolidations. Tilt and anchor work in complementary tension: tilt rewards momentum by angling the grid, while anchor resists excessive shifting by requiring price conviction to recenter. When price breaks through these buffers, the entire grid recenters to the new price level and play continues on a fresh table.
Steady uptrend with minimal tilt. The flat grid segments demonstrate that shifting alone keeps the grid aligned with price action. Buy signals (▲) and take profit signals (▽) alternate as price bounces between levels, accumulating gains through repetition across the entire move.
Sustained uptrend from June through September. The grid follows the trend with increasing ease as consecutive shifts reduce the pro-trend buffer. The October consolidation eventually triggers a downward shift and stop signal, but the system adapts to the renewed uptrend in November with fresh entry signals.
Signal Generation
The indicator generates three signal types. Entry signals (▲▼) trigger when price reaches a grid level in the direction of the trend, initiating a new position. Take profit signals (△▽) trigger when price reaches a grid level against the trend direction while a position is held, capturing gains as the rally continues. Stop signals (⦿) trigger when a grid shift occurs while holding a position adverse to the new shift direction. The ball goes off the table.
Trend reversal from bearish to bullish. The grid follows the downtrend through November with consecutive sell signals. A stop signal (⦿) triggers at the bottom as the grid shifts adversely against the held position. The system resets and adapts to the emerging uptrend in December, generating fresh buy signals as the new direction establishes.
Trigger Options
The signal trigger determines what price data the indicator uses to detect grid touches, balancing responsiveness against confirmation.
Auto : The default setting, using wick-based detection for pro-trend signals and close-based detection for counter-trend signals. This balances responsiveness when entering with the trend against confirmation when signaling against it.
Wick Touch : Generates signals in real-time when the high or low touches a grid level, providing the fastest response to price interaction.
Wick Reverse : Requires the wick to cross through the grid level from the previous bar, confirming the touch before signaling.
SWMA : Uses a Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average as the trigger source, generating signals only when the smoothed price crosses grid levels.
Close : Uses the bar's closing price as the trigger source, providing confirmed signals after each bar completes.
Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) trigger during a trend reversal. The smoothed price line filters intrabar noise, generating signals only when the SWMA crosses grid levels rather than reacting to wick touches. The grid follows the downtrend through November, resets at the bottom, and adapts to the emerging uptrend in December.
Signal Safeguards
The indicator includes built-in protections to reduce overtrading and mitigate risk, keeping the ball in play longer:
Boundary Protection : New entries are blocked at the outermost grid levels where breakout risk is highest. Exits remain permitted at these boundaries.
Signal Spacing : Signals maintain one-level separation from the most recent signal, preventing clusters of entries at similar prices.
Trend Alignment : When conflicting conditions arise, signals align with the prevailing trend direction rather than fighting momentum.
Automatic Profit Taking : Counter-trend interactions convert to take profit signals when a position is held, capturing gains rather than reversing exposure.
Adverse Shift Stops : When the grid shifts against a held position, a stop signal triggers to exit before further adverse movement.
Cautious Breakout Entries : On the first shift in a new direction, entries are restricted to favorable grid levels until the trend confirms through consecutive shifts.
Shift Resistance : Counter-trend shifts always require full buffer conviction, while pro-trend shifts become easier only after the trend is confirmed.

⚪The objective is not to predict where price will go, but to be present at each level when it arrives.
⚪Each touch at a boundary counts. Gains accumulate through repetition, not single swings.
⚪The rally continues until it doesn't. When the ball goes off the table, the game resets.
⚪The grid creates boundaries where price bounces back and forth. The table is set — the ball does the work.
⚪Price oscillates between defined levels. The grid is the table. Everything else is just ping pong.

Supply and Demand Zones [Clean v6]Overview
The Supply and Demand Zones indicator is an automated market structure tool designed to identify high-probability Points of Interest (POI) on any asset or timeframe. Built using Pine Script v6, this script focuses on clarity and performance, providing traders with a clutter-free view of where institutional buying and selling pressure has previously occurred.
Unlike crowded indicators that overwhelm the chart, this script dynamically manages zones—drawing new ones as structure forms and automatically removing invalid zones as price breaks through them.
Key Features
Automated Zone Detection: Automatically identifies Supply (Resistance) and Demand (Support) zones based on Swing Highs and Swing Lows.
Dynamic Zone Management: Active zones extend to the right until price interacts with them.
Break of Structure (BOS) Logic: When price violates a zone (closes beyond the invalidation level), the zone is automatically removed and marked as "Broken" to keep the chart clean.
Zig Zag Structure: Includes an optional Zig Zag overlay to visualize market flow, Higher Highs, and Lower Lows.
ATR-Based Sizing: Zone width is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR), ensuring zones adapt to the asset's current volatility.
Pine Script v6: Optimized using the latest array and method functions for speed and stability.
How It Works
Zone Creation: The script looks for Pivot Highs and Lows based on your defined Swing Length.
Supply Zones: Created at Swing Highs.
Demand Zones: Created at Swing Lows.
Zone Width: The height of the box is determined by the ATR multiplied by your Zone Width setting. This ensures the zone covers the "wick" area or the volatility range of the pivot.
Invalidation: If the price closes past the outer edge of a zone (the top of a Supply zone or bottom of a Demand zone), the script detects a break, removes the filled box, and leaves a subtle trace of the broken structure.
How to Use
Trend Following: Use the Zig Zag lines to identify the trend direction. Look for Long entries in Demand zones during an uptrend, and Short entries in Supply zones during a downtrend.
Reversals: Watch for price to react at older, unfilled zones (POIs) that align with major support/resistance levels.
Stop Loss Placement: The outer edge of the zone acts as a natural invalidation point. If price closes beyond it, the setup is typically invalidated.
Settings Guide
Swing Length: Determines the sensitivity of the pivot detection. Lower numbers find more local zones (scalping); higher numbers find major structural zones (swing trading).
Max Zones to Keep: Limits the number of historic zones displayed to prevent chart clutter.
Zone Width (ATR): Adjusts how thick the zones are. Increase this value if you want to capture wider wicks.
Visual Settings: Fully customizable colors for Supply, Demand, Borders, and Zig Zag lines.

As Good As It Gets Pivot ArrowsAs Good As It Gets Pivot Arrows
Description
- As Good As It Gets Pivot Arrows is a clean, high-precision pivot detection indicator that plots bright green upward triangles for confirmed pivot lows (buy signals) and red downward triangles for confirmed pivot highs (sell signals), and comes with customizable pivot length. Additionally, it optionally displays white dots for double-top/double-bottom pivots within a user-defined percentage tolerance.
Key Features
- Exact replication of TOS pivot high/low triangles (12-arrow style)
- Customizable pivot length (default 7)
- Option to ignore the last unconfirmed bar
- Toggle triangles and/or pivot dots independently
- Double-top/bottom detection with adjustable % tolerance (0.1% default)
- Clean visual signals with no repainting on confirmed pivots
What Makes It Unique
- This script delivers the pivot arrow behavior (including brighter lime-green buy triangles) that many traders love, with added flexibility: individual toggles for triangles/dots, double-top/bottom detection, and full customization. Unlike generic pivot indicators, it has precise confirmation logic while remaining fast and non-repainting on closed bars.
How to Use and Trade With It
- Adjust "Pivot Length" to suit your timeframe (7–14 common)
- Enable/disable triangles or dots as preferred
- Fine-tune "% Tolerance" for double-top/bottom sensitivity
Trading Signals
- Green upward triangle below bar: Confirmed pivot low → potential LONG entry or support
- Red downward triangle above bar: Confirmed pivot high → potential SHORT entry or - resistance
- White dots: Double-top (above) or double-bottom (below) within tolerance → higher-probability reversal zones
Best Practice
- Use triangles for primary swing entries/exits
- Combine with volume, trend filters, or support/resistance for confirmation
- Works on any timeframe; shorter lengths for intraday scalping, longer for positional trading
Gann VooDoo LinesGann VooDoo Lines Indicator
Description
- Gann VooDoo Lines is a precise overlay indicator that applies W.D. Gann's Square of 9 mathematics to generate static horizontal support and resistance levels from a single manual anchor price. It calculates 8 key vibrational degrees (45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°, 360°) both upward (resistance) and downward (support), delivering clean, timeframe-independent price zones.
Key Features
- Manual anchor price input for complete control
- Individual toggles for each of the 8 degrees
- "Both (Support + Resistance)" mode to display levels in both directions simultaneously
- Extend lines left/right or both
- Dynamic right-side labels that follow the latest bar
- Price values automatically displayed on the right price scale for all visible lines (including anchor)
- Customizable resistance, support, and anchor colors
What Makes It Unique (Compared to Other Gann Scripts)
- Unlike most Gann indicators on TradingView (which typically focus on sloping angles/fans, auto-detected swings, or limited degrees), Gann VooDoo Lines uses pure static Square of 9 horizontal levels with full individual toggles for all 8 degrees and a dedicated "Both" mode — allowing you to view support and resistance simultaneously without overlap or clutter. The combination of per-degree toggles, dynamic right-side labels, and clean price scale integration (no duplicates or repainting) sets it apart from generic Gann tools that often lack this granular control and visual clarity.
How to Use and Trade With It
- Set the anchor properly — this is the most critical step:
- Choose a major significant price extreme (all-time high/low, major swing high/low, or key psychological level).
- For higher timeframes (daily/weekly): use long-term extremes (e.g., all-time low/high) for "master" levels that influence price over months/years.
- For lower timeframes/intraday: use recent session extremes (today's open, previous close, or recent swing high/low) and update the anchor as needed for fresh levels.
- Experiment: test different anchors and observe which produces the most reactions.
Trading approach:
- Watch for price reactions (reversals, bounces, accelerations) at the lines — especially confluence with multiple degrees or right-side labels.
- Use in "Both" mode for full support/resistance picture.
- Combine with price action (candlestick patterns, volume) for entries/exits.
- Toggle off unused degrees to declutter the chart.
BK AK-King Quazi🦁👑 BK AK–KING QUAZI — MEASURED HAND, CLEAN BLADE. 👑🦁
This is Quasimodo turned into a permissioned process: PROTO → BOS proof → RETEST → CONFIRM → resolve or invalidate — with mapped levels so you execute clean or you stand down.
All glory to the Almighty — the true source of wisdom, restraint, and endurance.
AK is honor — my mentor’s standard: clarity, patience, no shortcuts, no gambling.
🧠 What It Does
King Quazi detects and manages Quasimodo (QM) structures and outputs an execution-ready battlefield:
PROTO detection: identifies developing QM structure early (awareness, not a trade)
BOS validation: requires a displacement break (ATR-based) so you don’t trade fake breaks
RETEST logic: watches the key QM level for the “return to the scene”
CONFIRM stage: only triggers when structure + proof + timing align
INVALIDATION + cleanup: marks failure clearly and manages drawings to keep charts readable
Projections + targets: maps QM / BOS / INV, plus optional T1/T2 so planning is standardized
MTF War Room: reads multiple timeframes and shows who’s in PROTO / CONFIRM / NOW so you stop trading against the higher court
This is not a pattern sticker. It’s a workflow.
What You See On Chart (so it’s usable)
QM level + BOS level + invalidation line
Optional forward projections / extension
Optional target mapping (T1/T2)
Stage-aware labels (PROTO / CONFIRM / invalidation handling)
MTF table showing which timeframe is active and which stage is “live”
🔍 How It Works (So You Know It’s Not Random)
1) Swing Structure → QM Candidate
The script builds swing structure and recognizes valid QM geometry — no guesswork labels without structure.
2) BOS Displacement Filter (Proof of Intent)
Most QM tools fire when the shape appears. King Quazi demands body displacement vs ATR so a “break” has force behind it — not wick theater.
3) Retest + Confirm (Permissioned Entry)
After BOS, it expects retest behavior and confirms only when the market acts right at the level — not in the middle of nowhere.
4) Object Lifecycle (Clean Chart, Honest Outcome)
The script manages lines/labels so your chart stays readable and outcomes are tracked — not hidden.
🧩 Why This Script Is Original (Not Another QM Clone)
The Quasimodo concept is public. The edge here is the integration:
staged event sequencing (PROTO → BOS → RETEST → CONFIRM)
ATR displacement proof to cut false positives
standardized execution mapping (QM/BOS/INV + optional targets)
multi-timeframe stage awareness (so you stop fighting higher structure)
alert routing by event stage (signal control, not spam)
It’s not “more signals.” It’s better permission.
🧭 How To Use It (Execution Rules)
1) Campaign Mode (Trend-Aligned)
Trade only when the MTF posture supports it. PROTO is awareness — BOS/RETEST is proof.
2) Verdict Mode (Turns)
A reversal is not a feeling. It’s testimony failing at the boundary and pressure flipping. Confirm at the level or don’t touch it.
3) Stand-Down Mode (The Feature Tourists Hate)
When the tool goes quiet, it’s telling you the truth:
no permission = no trade.
That’s how capital survives.
⚙️ What You Actually Tune
Zigzag sensitivity (tight vs clean structure)
BOS displacement strictness (how hard price must prove intent)
Retest window + expiration (how strict confirmation is)
Projection visibility (QM/BOS/INV, forward extension)
Targets & entry zone behavior (T1/T2 + buffers)
MTF table + alerts (what you want surfaced)
🧑🏫 BK / AK / Faith
BK is the mark I’m building.
AK is honor — discipline, patience, clean execution.
All glory to the Almighty — the true source of wisdom and endurance.
🗡️ King David Lens (Deep — Discipline Under Fire)
David’s power wasn’t impulse. It was governed force — strength that answers to law.
He learned early that the most dangerous trap is moving before you’re sent.
That’s why his life is full of the same pattern traders ignore:
He was anointed long before he was crowned.
Meaning: truth can be real before it’s allowed to manifest.
He fought Goliath with a weapon people mocked — not because it was flashy, but because it was mastered.
Meaning: edge isn’t what looks impressive — it’s what’s trained and repeatable.
He had Saul in his hands and still refused the shortcut.
Meaning: opportunity is not permission; proximity is not assignment.
He waited through wilderness seasons where nothing “looked like progress.”
Meaning: silence isn’t rejection — sometimes it’s preparation.
That is the trader’s war.
Price will always offer motion.
But motion without permission is bait.
David didn’t survive by chasing what was available.
He survived by waiting until the moment was proved, the ground was chosen, and the strike was clean.
That’s what King Quazi enforces:
PROTO is the rumor.
BOS displacement is the proof.
Retest is the test of legitimacy.
Confirm is permission to strike.
Invalidation is humility — stand down immediately.
A lion doesn’t chase every shadow.
A lion waits until the prey is committed — then ends it.

VWATR Stop-Loss BandsPurpose
The script provides an adaptive stop‑loss framework built from VWATR, it anchors protective levels to price extremes and scales them with both volatility and volume. The objective is to create stop‑loss zones that reflect real market intensity rather than arbitrary fixed distances.
How it works
The script computes true range, multiplies it by volume, and smooths both the volume‑weighted range and raw volume using the selected moving average, their ratio forms VWATR, a volatility measure normalized by traded volume. It then calculates the standard deviation of VWATR to capture volatility‑of‑volatility. Stop‑loss levels are constructed by offsetting the low and high by one VWATR, with additional layers created by adding or subtracting one to five standard deviations. The plots use strong colors for core levels and progressively lighter tones for outer layers, establishing a clear visual hierarchy.
Rationale
This structure gives the trader stop‑loss levels that adapt to changing market conditions, expanding during high‑energy phases and contracting during quiet periods, which reduces premature stop‑outs and aligns risk with actual volatility. The standard deviation layers provide a graded map of volatility stress, allowing the user to assess how far price must travel to breach increasingly extreme thresholds. The result is a stop‑loss system that is both reactive and context‑aware, offering more informed decision‑making than static offsets.
Dimensional Support ResistanceDimensional Support Resistance
Overview
Dimensional Support Resistance is an open-source overlay indicator that automatically detects and displays clean, non-overlapping support and resistance levels using pivot-based analysis with intelligent filtering. It identifies significant swing highs and lows, filters them by minimum distance to prevent visual clutter, and provides volume-confirmed bounce signals.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Dynamic Pivot Levels - Automatically detected swing highs and lows based on configurable pivot strength
Distance Filtering - Ensures levels are spaced apart by a minimum percentage to prevent overlap
S/R Zones - Visual zones around each level showing the price area of significance
Bounce Detection - Identifies when price reverses at support or resistance levels
Volume Confirmation - Strong signals require above-average volume for confirmation
How It Works
Pivot detection scans for swing highs and lows using a configurable strength parameter. A pivot low requires the low to be lower than all surrounding bars within the strength period.
Signal Generation
The indicator generates bounce signals using TradingView's built-in pivot detection combined with candle reversal confirmation:
Support Bounce: Pivot low forms with bullish close (close > open)
Resistance Bounce: Pivot high forms with bearish close (close < open)
Strong Bounce: Bounce occurs with volume 1.5x above 20-period average
A cooldown period of 15 bars prevents signal spam.
Dashboard Panel
A compact dashboard displays:
Support - Count of active support levels
Resistance - Count of active resistance levels
Dashboard position is configurable (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Visual Elements
Support Lines - Green horizontal lines at support levels
Resistance Lines - Red horizontal lines at resistance levels
S/R Zones - Semi-transparent boxes around levels showing zone width
Price Labels - S: and R: labels showing exact price of nearest levels
BOUNCE Markers - Triangle shapes with text when price bounces at a level
STRONG Markers - Label shapes when bounce occurs with high volume
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (default: 100) - Historical bars to scan for pivots
Pivot Strength (default: 8) - Bars on each side required for valid pivot (higher = fewer but stronger levels)
Max Levels Each Side (default: 2) - Maximum support and resistance levels displayed
Zone Width % (default: 0.15) - Width of zones around each level as percentage of price
Min Distance Between Levels % (default: 1.0) - Minimum spacing between levels to prevent overlap
Show S/R Zones (default: true) - Toggle zone visualization
Show Bounce Signals (default: true) - Toggle signal markers
Support Color (default: #00ff88) - Color for support elements
Resistance Color (default: #ff3366) - Color for resistance elements
Suggested Use Cases
Identify key support and resistance levels for entry and exit planning
Use bounce signals as potential reversal confirmation
Combine with other indicators for confluence-based trading decisions
Monitor strong signals for high-probability setups with volume confirmation
Timeframe Recommendations
Works on all timeframes. Higher timeframes (4H, Daily) provide more significant levels with fewer signals. Lower timeframes show more granular structure but may produce more noise.
Limitations
Pivot detection requires lookback bars, so very recent pivots may not be immediately visible
Bounce signals are based on pivot formation and may lag by the pivot strength period
Levels are recalculated on each bar, so they may shift as new pivots form

Liquidity Trap Detector Pro [PyraTime]The Problem: Why You Get Stopped Out
90% of retail traders place their stop-losses at obvious swing highs and lows. Institutional algorithms ("Smart Money") are programmed to push price through these levels to trigger liquidity, fill their heavy orders, and then immediately reverse the market.
If you have ever had your stop hit right before the market moves exactly where you predicted—you were the victim of a Liquidity Trap.
The Solution: Visualizing the "Stop Hunt"
Liquidity Trap Detector Pro is not just a support/resistance indicator. It is a comprehensive Reversal Scoring Engine.
Unlike standard indicators that spam signals on every wick, this tool uses a proprietary 5-Star Scoring System to analyze the quality of the trap. It validates every signal using Wick Symmetry, RSI Divergence, and Volume Analysis to separate a true reversal from a trend continuation.
Key Features (USP)
- 5-Star Scoring Engine: Every signal is rated from 1 to 5 stars. Stop guessing if a signal is valid; let the algorithm check the confluence for you.
- Glassmorphism Visuals: Gone are the messy lines. We use modern, semi-transparent "Liquidity Zones" that keep your chart clean and professional.
- Smart Terminology: Automatically identifies Bull Traps (Buyers trapped at highs) and Bear Traps (Sellers trapped at lows).
- Heads-Up Display (HUD): A professional dashboard monitors the market state, active filters, and recent trap statistics in real-time.
- Strict Non-Repainting: (Technical Note) This script uses strict non-repainting logic. All Higher Timeframe (HTF) data is confirmed and closed before a signal is generated, ensuring historical accuracy.
---
Tutorial: How to Trade This Indicator
1. Understanding the Signals
We use correct institutional terminology to describe the market mechanics:
GREEN Signal (BEAR TRAP):
- What happened: Price swept a Swing Low, enticing sellers (Bears) to enter. The candle then reversed and closed back inside the range, trapping those sellers.
- The Trade: This is a Bullish Reversal setup (Long).
RED Signal (BULL TRAP):
- What happened: Price swept a Swing High, enticing buyers (Bulls) to breakout. The candle reversed and closed lower, trapping the buyers.
- The Trade: This is a Bearish Reversal setup (Short).
2. The 5-Star Scoring System
Not all traps are created equal. The stars tell you how much "Confluence" exists:
- 1 Star: A basic structure sweep. Risky.
- 3 Stars: A solid setup backed by either Volume or Divergence.
- 5 Stars: The "Perfect" Trap. Structure Sweep + RSI Divergence + Volume Spike + Wick Symmetry. High Probability.
3. The Strategy
- Wait for the Zone: Watch price approach a coloured Liquidity Zone.
- Observe the Reaction: Do not trade blindly. Wait for the candle to close.
- Check the Stars: Look for at least 3 Stars before considering an entry.
- Confirm with HUD: Glance at the Dashboard to ensure the "RSI Filter" and "Vol Filter" agree with your analysis.

Settings Guide
Structure Settings:
- Pivot Lookback: Adjusts how sensitive the zones are (Default: 10/5).
- HTF Confirmation: Optional filter to only show traps that align with Higher Timeframe structure (e.g., 1H or 4H).
Quality Filters:
- RSI Divergence: Requires momentum to disagree with price (classic reversal sign).

SCOTTGO - Liquidity Zones (Sweeps + Tethers)
SCOTTGO - Liquidity Zones is a high-performance technical analysis tool designed to identify and track Institutional Liquidity Zones, Price Sweeps, and Pivot Levels with a clean, professional-grade interface.
Key Features
Dynamic Liquidity Zones: Automatically identifies Bullish and Bearish zones based on customizable pivot lookbacks.
Identify Liquidity Sweeps: Detects when price "pokes" through a zone but fails to close beyond it, marking the event with a distinct label and a visual tether line.
Active Tracking: Zones and LIQ lines track price in real-time until they are mitigated (broken by a candle close), at which point they visually "deactivate" to reduce clutter.
Professional UI: Features a compact, single-row styling menu (Color, Thickness, and Line Style) that mirrors TradingView’s native design.
Visual Elements
LIQ Lines: Solid or dashed lines tracking the exact pivot price within active zones.
Sweep Tethers: Vertical lines connecting the candle extreme to the "SWEEP" label for precise visual confirmation.
Detailed Tooltips: Hover over LIQ labels or Sweep tags to view specific price data and zone context.
Zone Titles: Clearly labeled "BULL ZONE" and "BEAR ZONE" tags with independent font size controls.
How to Use
Core Logic: Adjust the Pivot Lookback to define the strength of the levels you want to track.
Styling: Use the Inputs Tab for compact, specialized styling of Lines, Borders, and Sweeps.
Analysis: Look for "Sweeps" at zone boundaries as potential signs of reversal or stop-running.
LTF Distribution Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
LTF Distribution Analyzer reveals the hidden price distribution and order flow within each candle by sampling lower timeframe data. It visualizes where prices concentrated, how volume was distributed between buyers and sellers, and identifies divergences between price action and actual market participation.
Unlike traditional candlesticks showing only OHLC, this indicator exposes the statistical structure of price movement using quartile-based visualization combined with delta analysis.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is built on two core concepts:
1 — Statistical Price Distribution
Each candle contains many lower timeframe bars. By analyzing these bars, we calculate:
• Q1 (25th percentile) - 25% of prices traded below this level
• Q3 (75th percentile) - 75% of prices traded below this level
• Median - The middle price value
• IQR (Interquartile Range) - The Q3-Q1 spread containing 50% of all prices
2 — Volume Delta Analysis
Delta measures buying vs selling pressure:
• Delta = Buy Volume − Sell Volume
• Positive delta = More aggressive buying
• Negative delta = More aggressive selling
• Delta Ratio normalizes this as a percentage
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator fetches lower timeframe data using request.security_lower_tf() and processes it to create a statistical summary:
Step 1: Timeframe Calculation
• Auto mode: Chart timeframe ÷ Auto Divisor = LTF
• Example: 1H chart ÷ 1000 = ~3.6 second sampling
• Manual mode: User-specified timeframe
Step 2: Data Collection
• Collects all close prices from LTF bars within current candle
• Aggregates volume by candle direction (bullish/bearish)
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates quartiles (Q1, Q3), median, and boundaries
• Identifies outliers using 1.5× and 3× IQR fences
• Finds Volume POC (price with highest volume)
Step 4: Delta Calculation
• Sums buy volume (from bullish LTF bars)
• Sums sell volume (from bearish LTF bars)
• Computes delta ratio for color determination

█ COLOR SYSTEM
Colors indicate the relationship between candle direction and order flow:
🟢 TEAL (Positive Flow)
Bullish candle + Positive delta
→ Strong buying confirmation
→ Trend continuation signal
🔴 RED (Negative Flow)
Bearish candle + Negative delta
→ Strong selling confirmation
→ Trend continuation signal
🟠 ORANGE (Mixed Signal A)
Bullish candle + Negative delta
→ Price up but sellers dominated
→ Potential weakness/reversal warning
🔵 BLUE (Mixed Signal B)
Bearish candle + Positive delta
→ Price down but buyers dominated
→ Potential accumulation/reversal signal

█ HOW TO USE
1. Divergence Detection
Look for color mismatches:
• Orange bars in uptrend = weakness, potential reversal
• Blue bars in downtrend = strength, potential reversal
• Multiple consecutive divergent bars strengthen signal
• Wait for confirmation before entry
2. Volume POC Trading
• POC marks where most volume traded
• POC clusters at similar levels = strong S/R zone
• Price often returns to POC before continuing
• Use POC for entry/exit targeting
3. Trend Confirmation
• Consecutive teal = strong uptrend
• Consecutive red = strong downtrend
• Median position shows intrabar momentum
• Wide boxes indicate high volatility
4. Outlier Analysis
• Extreme markers (▲▼) often mark stop hunts
• Consider fading extremes at key levels
• Mild markers (△▽) = areas to watch
█ RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
For different chart timeframes:
│ Chart TF │ Auto Divisor │ Resulting LTF │
├──────────┼──────────────┼───────────────┤
│ 15M │ 1500 │ ~1M │
│ 1H │ 1000 │ ~3-4s │
│ 4H │ 600 │ ~24s │
│ Daily │ 500 │ ~2-3M │
Tip: Check the TF badge to confirm active sampling timeframe.
█ BEST PRACTICES
Do:
✓ Use "Bars" chart style for cleanest display
✓ Combine with support/resistance analysis
✓ Wait for confirmation bars
✓ Note POC clusters across multiple bars
✓ Adjust divisor based on your timeframe
Avoid:
✗ Trading single bar signals alone
✗ Using during low volume periods
✗ Trading immediately after news releases
✗ Ignoring overall market context
█ LIMITATIONS
• Requires adequate market liquidity for reliable signals
• Sub-minute timeframes need Premium subscription
• Historical data depth depends on TradingView's data availability
• Delta calculation assumes volume direction matches candle direction
█ NOTES
This indicator works best on liquid markets (forex majors, major indices, popular stocks/crypto) where volume data is meaningful.
The gray dotted vertical line marks where LTF data becomes available - bars before this line won't display the indicator.
