LANZ Strategy 2.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 2.0 — London Breakout Confirmation with Structural Swing Protection
LANZ Strategy 2.0 is a structured trading system that leverages the last confirmed market direction before the London session to define directional bias and manage trades based on key structural swing levels. It is tailored for intraday traders looking to capitalize on early London volatility with built-in risk management and visual clarity.
🧠 Core Components:
Directional Confirmation (Pre-London Bias): Validates the last breakout or structural move from the 15-minute timeframe before 02:15 a.m. New York time (start of the London session), establishing the expected market direction.
Time-Based Execution: Executes potential entries strictly at 02:15 a.m. NY time, using market structure to support Long or Short bias.
Dynamic Swing-Based SL System: Allows user to select between three SL protection models: First Swing (most recent structural point) Second Swing (prior level) Total Coverage (includes both swings + extra buffer) This supports flexibility based on trader profile or market conditions.
Visual Risk Mapping: All SL and TP levels are clearly plotted.
End-of-Session Management: Positions are automatically evaluated for closure at 11:45 a.m. NY time. SL, TP, or manual close outcomes are labeled accordingly.
📊 Visual Features:
Labels for 1st and 2nd swing levels upon entry.
Dynamic lines projecting SL/TP levels toward the end of the session.
Session background coloring for Pre-London, Execution, and NY sessions.
Real-time percentage outcome labels (+2.00%, -1.00%, or net % at session end).
Automatic deletion of previous visuals on new entries for clean charting.
⚙️ How It Works:
Detects last structural breakout on the 15m timeframe before 02:15 a.m. NY.
On the 02:15 a.m. candle, executes a Long or Short logic entry.
Plots corresponding SL and TP based on selected swing model.
Monitors price action: If TP or SL is hit, labels it accordingly. If no exit is hit, trade closes manually at 11:45 a.m. NY with net result shown.
Optional logic to reverse entries if market structure breaks before execution.
🔔 Alerts:
Daily execution alert at 02:15 a.m. NY (prompting manual review or action).
Optional alert logic can be extended for SL/TP hits or structure breaks.
📝 Notes:
Designed for semi-automated or discretionary intraday trading.
Best used on Forex pairs or indices with strong London session behavior.
Adjustable parameters include session hours, swing SL type, and buffer settings.

Trend Analysis
ICT iFVG Detector and Alert [by ote618]Description
This script detects ICT - fair value gaps (FVG) formed by price gaps between Candle 1 and Candle 3, then monitors the next 5 candles for an inverse fair value gap (iFVG).
What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When Candle 1 high is below Candle 3 low (BISI)
Bearish FVG: When Candle 1 low is above Candle 3 high (SIBI)
Once an FVG is detected, the script checks the next 5 candles:
A Bullish FVG becomes a Bearish IFVG if price closes below Candle 1 high
A Bearish FVG becomes a Bullish IFVG if price closes above Candle 1 low
Only the first bar that validates the FVG triggers the transition to an IFVG.
Visual Output
A shaded rectangle is plotted to mark the original FVG zone (from Candle 1 to Candle 3)
Color-coded:
Red for Bearish IFVG (validated Bullish IG)
Green for Bullish IFVG (validated Bearish IG)
The rectangle extends from Candle 1 to the validating bar
Alerts
You can receive alerts when an FVG becomes an IFVG:
Configurable to fire only on selected timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 60m)
Alerts include the direction and the chart timeframe
Settings
Enable Alerts For Timeframe: Choose which timeframe(s) trigger alerts
This tool helps traders identify inverse FVGs (iFVG), a useful ICT concept.
Internal Market Structure + Order BlocksInternal Market Structure + Order Blocks
This indicator combines internal market structure shifts with order block detection to help traders identify key zones of institutional interest and potential trend reversals. It highlights bullish and bearish engulfing conditions that mark the formation of valid order blocks, and it plots internal structure shifts—early signals that may precede a larger move.
Key Features:
-Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks: Highlighted with shaded boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) following engulfing price action.
-Internal Structure Shifts: Small black triangles show early signs of a potential reversal, offering a unique perspective beyond standard structure analysis.
-Engulfing Breakouts: Marks when price breaks previous opposing structure, confirming new directional intent.
-Alerts Included: Get notified on key structure breaks and internal shifts to stay ahead of potential setups.
This tool is designed to support price action trading by visually mapping key structural changes and zones of interest directly on your chart. It is not intended to function as a standalone trading strategy , but rather as a supplementary tool to inform your own analysis and discretion.
Note: The arrows, polylines, and colored trendlines shown in the chart example are not generated by the indicator. They have been added manually for illustration purposes to demonstrate how the indicator can be used to trace market structure. Likewise, the order blocks in the example are manually drawn and may differ slightly from the indicator's automatic calculations, serving only to enhance visual clarity.
Zero Lag AMA# Zero Lag AMA Indicator
## Overview
The High Probability AMA Indicator is a sophisticated trend-following tool that adapts to market conditions by dynamically adjusting its smoothing factor based on market efficiency. Unlike standard moving averages with fixed parameters, this indicator becomes more responsive during trending markets and more stable during choppy, sideways markets.
### Adaptive Moving Average (AMA)
The AMA adjusts its sensitivity to price changes based on market conditions:
- In trending markets: The AMA closely follows price movements with minimal lag
- In ranging markets: The AMA filters out noise by smoothing price action
### Efficiency Ratio (ER)
The indicator measures market efficiency using the Efficiency Ratio:
ER = Direction / Volatility
Where:
- **Direction** is the absolute net change in price over a period (how far price has moved)
- **Volatility** is the sum of all absolute price changes over the same period (how much price has fluctuated)
The ER ranges between 0 and 1:
- Values close to 1 indicate a strong trend (efficient market movement)
- Values close to 0 indicate a choppy market (inefficient market movement)
### Variable Smoothing Constant
Based on the Efficiency Ratio, the indicator calculates a smoothing constant between two extremes:
- A fast smoothing constant for trending markets
- A slow smoothing constant for ranging markets
The formula is:
SC = ²
Where:
- FastSC = 2/(fastPeriod + 1)
- SlowSC = 2/(slowPeriod + 1)
## Key Features
### Dynamic Volatility Measurement
The indicator calculates price volatility using standard deviation over a customizable period, which helps contextualize price movements relative to recent market conditions.
### AMA Slope Analysis
The indicator tracks the AMA's slope (rate of change) to determine trend direction and strength, providing valuable context beyond just price position relative to the AMA line.
### Visual Trend Identification
The chart background changes color based on trend conditions:
- Green background indicates bullish conditions (price above AMA and positive slope)
- Red background indicates bearish conditions (price below AMA and negative slope)
## Parameters
### Essential Parameters
- **Fast Period (default: 9)**: Controls the most responsive the AMA can be during strong trends
- **Slow Period (default: 15)**: Controls how smooth the AMA becomes during choppy markets
- **Volatility Period (default: 14)**: Period for calculating price standard deviation
- **Efficiency Ratio Period (default: 20)**: Period for calculating the Efficiency Ratio
### Appearance Settings
- **AMA Line Color**: Customize the color of the Adaptive Moving Average line
## How to Use This Indicator
### Trend Identification
The primary use is identifying the current market trend:
- The AMA line direction indicates the overall trend
- Background colors provide quick visual confirmation of trend state
- Price position relative to the AMA line shows the current market bias
### Market Context
- Monitor the AMA slope to gauge trend strength
- Use volatility readings to assess market conditions
- Pay attention to how closely the AMA follows price - tight following indicates trending markets
### Optimal Trading Conditions
- Most reliable signals occur when price breaks and closes beyond the AMA line while the AMA slope confirms the direction
- The indicator performs best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) for strategic positions
- Can also be effective on lower timeframes (5m,15m, 30m) when combined with other confirmation tools
## Best Practices
1. **Multiple Timeframe Analysis**: Confirm signals across different timeframes for higher probability setups
2. **Complementary Indicators**: Combine with:
- Volume indicators to confirm trend strength
- Oscillators for potential reversal points
- Support/resistance levels for entry and exit points
3. **Parameter Optimization**: Adjust parameters based on:
- The specific instrument being traded
- Your trading timeframe
- Current market volatility conditions
## Technical Implementation Details
The indicator uses a sophisticated calculation approach:
1. Calculates the Efficiency Ratio using price direction and volatility
2. Determines the appropriate smoothing constant based on market efficiency
3. Applies the smoothing constant to current and previous AMA values
4. Analyzes AMA slope and price position to determine market conditions
5. Provides visual feedback through line color and background shading
This implementation avoids the lag present in traditional moving averages while still filtering market noise, making it particularly valuable during transitions between trending and ranging market conditions.
TTM Scalper AlertTTM Scalper Alert — Real-Time Pivot Detector
Description:
This is a custom implementation of the classic TTM Scalper Alert, adapted to show early pivot detection and trend structure tracking in real-time. The script identifies potential highs and lows before the full pivot confirmation—giving traders an early edge—and removes outdated signals once pivots are confirmed.
It supports two levels of detection:
Fast Alert Pivots : Identified after Alert Period candles confirm a local reversal.
Confirmed Pivots : Validated only after Pivot Period candles on both sides ensure a true swing high/low.
How It Works:
Fast Detection (Early Pivots):
Detected after Alert Period (AP) candles. These are provisional signals, shown as triangle labels (▲▼) near current price. Only the latest signal is shown; previous fast pivots are deleted to avoid clutter.
Confirmed Pivots:
Detected with a full lookback of Pivot Period (PP) on both sides of the candle. Shown using plotshape with triangle markers (▲▼). Serve as anchors for price structure analysis (HH-HL or LL-LH tracking).
Custom Source Option:
Users can choose to base pivots on High/Low or Close/Open range. Helps adjust sensitivity depending on volatility or bar structure.
How to Interpret:
Trend & Market Structure:
Use Confirmed Pivots (plotshapes) to analyze market structure:
HH → HL: Uptrend
LL → LH: Downtrend
Watch for breaks in structure for possible reversals
Early Alerts:
The floating labels (▲▼) represent early warnings of a potential pivot. Use them to anticipate:
Short-term exhaustion
Quick scalping entries
Divergence setups
Inputs:
Source : Choose from High/Low or Close/Open — affects how pivots are calculated
Alert Period : How fast the script detects an early reversal pattern (used for entry timing)
Pivot Period : How many candles before/after to confirm a full pivot (used for structural analysis)
Best For:
Traders who follow price action and structure
Scalpers and intraday traders who want early signals
Anyone using pivot highs/lows for confluence with other tools (like RSI divergence, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, etc.)
Pro Tips:
Combine this with:
Trend Magic or Supertrend for directional bias
Volume spike filters to confirm reversal intent
RSI/CCI divergence to strengthen reversal pivots
Adjust Alert Period to tune early signal sensitivity (lower = faster but noisier)
Index Lead LagPlots the percent change of each index over a given input lookback window length.
Indices are color coded (and customizable) to identify their respective percent change in the stacked column plot.
Table at the bottom right shows the previously closed bar's percent changes.
Indicator indicates which indices are leading and lagging over the given lookback period.
Pullback Setup HelperThe Pullback Setup Helper is a visual tool designed to assist traders in identifying high-probability pullback entry zones in both bullish and bearish trends. It dynamically calculates support and resistance pullback areas using a combination of recent price extremes and ATR-based volatility measures.
The indicator plots two main zones: one for potential long setups beneath recent highs, and another for short setups above recent lows. These zones are derived from configurable multipliers of the ATR to define depth and width, with an additional buffer to allow for slight overshoots or market noise.
Signals are generated when price enters a pullback zone and closes in the direction of the trend, using a relaxed condition (close > previous close for longs, close < previous close for shorts) to increase signal frequency. Entry signals appear as triangles on the chart, with optional alerts available for both long and short scenarios.
This tool is best used as a contextual guide to support trend-continuation trades, particularly when combined with additional confirmation from momentum or volume indicators.

@TJT_Pro
RunRox - Entry Model🎯 RunRox Entry Model is an all-in-one reversal-pattern indicator engineered to help traders accurately identify key price-reversal points on their charts. It will be part of our premium indicator package and improve the effectiveness of your trading strategies.
The primary concept of this indicator is liquidity analysis, making it ideal for Smart Money traders and for trading within market structure. At the same time, the indicator is universal and can be integrated into any strategy. Below, I will outline the full concept of the indicator and its settings so you can better understand how it works.
🧬 CONCEPT
In the screenshot below, I’ll schematically illustrate the core idea of this indicator. It’s one of the patterns that the indicator automatically detects on the chart using a two-timeframe approach. We use the higher timeframe to identify liquidity zones, and the lower timeframe to capture liquidity removal and structure breaks. The schematic is shown in the screenshot below.
Our indicator includes three entry models in total , and I will discuss its functionality and features in more detail later in this post.
💡 FEATURES
Three entry models
PO3 HTF Bar
Entry Area
Optimization for each Entry Area
Filters
HTF FVG
Alert customization
Next, we will examine each entry model in detail.
🟠 ENTRY MODEL 1
The first model is the core one we’ll work with; all other models rely on its structure and construction. In the screenshot below, I’ll schematically show the complete model.
As shown in the screenshot above, we display higher-timeframe candles on the current chart to better visualize the entry model and keep the trader informed of what’s happening on the larger timeframe. The screenshot also highlights both the Long and Short models, as well as the Entry Area, which I will explain in more detail below.
The schematic model on the lower timeframe is shown in the screenshot above. It illustrates that after the Entry Model forms, we draw the Entry Area on the next candle and wait for a price pullback into this zone for the optimal trade entry. Statistically, before moving higher, the price typically revisits the Entry Area, covering the imbalances created by MSS; thus, the Entry Area represents the ideal entry point.
🟩 Entry Area
Once the Entry Model has formed, we focus on identifying the optimal pullback zone for taking a position. To determine which retracement area performs best, we conducted extensive historical backtesting on potential zones and selected those that consistently delivered the strongest results. This process yields Entry Areas with the highest probability of a successful reversal.
On the screenshot above, you can see an example of the Entry Area and which zones carry a higher versus lower probability of reversal. Zones rendered with greater transparency have historically delivered weaker results than the more opaque zones. The deeper-colored areas represent the optimal entry zones and can improve your risk-reward ratio by allowing you to enter at more favorable prices.
It’s important to remember that the entire Entry Area functions as a potential zone for scaling into a position. However, if your risk-to-reward ratio isn’t favorable, you can wait for the price to retrace to lower levels within the Entry Area and enter with a more attractive risk-to-reward.
🟢 Pattern Rating
Each entry model receives a rating in the form of green circles next to its name 🟢. The rating ranges from one to four circles, based on the historical performance of similar patterns. To calculate this rating, we backtest past data by analyzing candle behavior during the model’s formation and assign circles according to how similar patterns performed historically.
Example Ratings:
🟢 – One circle
🟢🟢 – Two circles
🟢🟢🟢 – Three circles
🟢🟢🟢🟢 – Four circles
The more green circles a model has, the more reliable it is—but it’s crucial to rely on your own analysis when identifying strong reversal points on the chart. This rating reflects the model’s historical performance and does not guarantee future results, so keep that in mind!
Below is a screenshot showing four model variations with different ratings on the chart.
⚠️ Unconfirmed Pattern
Entry Model 1 is designed so that, until the higher-timeframe candle closes, the pattern remains unconfirmed and is hidden on the chart. For traders who prefer to see setups as they form, there’s a dedicated feature that displays the unconfirmed pattern at the moment of its appearance - triggered by the Market Structure Shift - before the HTF candle closes. The screenshot below shows what the pattern looks like prior to confirmation.
‼️IMPORTANT: Until the pattern is confirmed and the higher-timeframe candle has closed, the model may disappear from the chart if price reverses and the HTF candle closes below the previous bar. Therefore, this mode is suitable only for experienced traders who want to see market moves in advance. Remember that the pattern can be removed from the chart, so we recommend waiting for the HTF candle to close before deciding to enter a trade.‼️
✂️ Filters
For the primary model, there are four filters designed to enhance entry points or exclude less-confirmed patterns. The filters available in the indicator are:
Bounce Filter
Market Shift Mode
Same Wave Filter
Only with Divergence
I will explain how each of these filters works below.
- Bounce Filter
The Bounce Filter identifies significant deviations of price from its mean and only displays the Entry Model once the asset’s price moves beyond the average level. The screenshot below illustrates how this appears on the chart.
The actual average-price calculation is more sophisticated than what’s shown in the screenshot, that image is just an illustrative example. When the price deviates significantly from the N-bar average, we start looking for the Entry Model. This approach works particularly well in range-bound markets without a clear trend, as it lets you trade strong deviations from the mean.
- Market Shift Mode
This filter works by detecting the initial impulse that triggered the liquidity sweep on the previous higher-timeframe candle, and then holding the Market Structure Shift level at that point after the sweep. If the filter is turned off, price may move higher following the liquidity removal, creating a new MSS level and potentially producing a false structure shift and entry signal on the formed model.
This filter helps you more accurately identify genuine shifts - but keep in mind that the model can still perform well without it, so choose the setting that best suits your trading style.
- Same Wave Filter
The Same Wave Filter removes entry models that form without a clear lower-timeframe structure when liquidity is swept from the previous higher-timeframe candle. In other words, if the prior HTF candle and the current one belong to the same impulse wave - without any retracements on the LTF - the model is filtered out.
Keep in mind that this filter may also exclude patterns that could have produced positive results, so whether to enable it depends on your trading system.
- Only with Divergence
The Only with Divergence filter detects divergence between the lows of successive candles and indicators like RSI. When the low that swept liquidity diverges from the previous candle’s low, the indicator displays a “DIV” label. Although RSI is cited as an example, our divergence calculation is more advanced. This filter highlights patterns where low divergence signals genuine liquidity manipulation and a likely aggressive price reversal.
🌀 Model Settings
Trade Direction: Choose whether to display models for Long or Short trades.
Fractal: Select between automatic fractal detection—which adapts the lower-timeframe (LTF) and higher-timeframe (HTF) candles—or Custom.
Custom Fractal: When Custom is selected, manually specify the LTF and HTF timeframes used to detect the patterns.
History Pattern Limit: Set the maximum number of patterns to display on the chart to keep it clean and uncluttered.
🎨 Model Style
You can flexibly customize the model’s appearance by choosing your preferred line thickness, color, and the other settings we discussed above.
🔵 ENTRY MODEL 2
This model appears under specific conditions when Model 1 cannot form. It’s a price-reversal model constructed according to different rules than the first model. The screenshot below shows how it looks on the chart.
This model forms less frequently than Model 1 but delivers equally strong performance and is displayed as a position-entry zone.
Like the Entry Area in Entry Model 1, this zone is calculated automatically and highlights the best entry levels: areas that showed the strongest historical results are rendered in a brighter shade.
🎨 Model Style
You can flexibly customize the style of Entry Model 2 - its color, opacity, visibility, and the average price of the previous candle.
🟢 ENTRY MODEL 3
Entry Model 3 is a continuation pattern that only forms after Entry Model 1 has completed and delivered the necessary price move to trigger Model 3.
Below is a schematic illustration of how Model 3 is intended to work.
🎨 Model Style
As with the previous models, you can flexibly customize the style of this zone.
⬆️ HTF CANDLES
One of the standout features of this indicator is the ability to plot higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly on your lower-timeframe (LTF) chart, giving you clear visualization of the entry models and insight into what’s unfolding on the larger timeframe.
You can fully customize the HTF candles - select their style, the number of bars displayed, and tweak various settings to match your personal trading style.
HTF FVG
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) can also be drawn on the HTF candles themselves, enabling you to spot key liquidity or interest zones at a glance, without switching between timeframes.
Additionally, you can view all significant historical HTF highs and lows, with demarcation lines showing where each HTF candle begins and ends.
All these options let you tailor the HTF candle display on your chart and monitor multiple timeframes’ trends in a single view.
📶 INFO PANEL
Instrument: the market symbol on which the model is detected
Fractal Timeframes: the LTF and HTF fractal periods used to locate the pattern
HTF Candle Countdown: the time remaining until the higher-timeframe candle closes
Trade Direction: the direction (Long or Short) in which the model is searched for entry
🔔 ALERT CUSTOMIZATION
And, of course, you can configure any alerts you need. There are seven alert types available:
Confirmed Entry Model 1
Unconfirmed Entry Model 1
Confirmed Entry Model 2
Confirmed Entry Model 3
Entry Area 1 Trigger
Entry Area 2 Trigger
Entry Area 3 Trigger
You also get a custom macro field where you can enter any placeholders to fully personalize your alerts. Below are example macros you can use in that field.
{{event}} - Event name ('New M1')
{{direction}} - Trade direction ('Long', 'Short')
{{area_beg}} - Entry Area Price
{{area_end}} - Entry Area Price
{{exchange}} - Exchange ('Binance')

{{timenow}} - Signal time in UTC timezone
{{syminfo.currency}} - 'USD' for BTCUSD pair
{{syminfo.basecurrency}} - 'BTC' for BTCUSD pair
✅ USAGE EXAMPLES
Now I’ll demonstrate several ways to apply this indicator across different trading strategies.
Primarily, it’s most effective within the Smart Money framework - where liquidity and manipulation are the core focus - so it integrates seamlessly into your SMC-based approach.
However, it can also be employed in other strategies, such as classic technical analysis or Elliott Wave, to capitalize on reversal points on the chart.
Example 1
The first example illustrates forming a downtrend using a Smart Money strategy. After the market structure shifts and the first BOS is broken, we begin looking for a short entry.
Once Entry Model 1 is established, a Fair Value Gap appears, which we use as our position-entry zone. The nearest target becomes the newly formed BOS level.
In this trade, it was crucial to wait for a strong downtrend to develop before hunting for entries. Therefore, we waited for the first BOS to break and entered the trade to ride the continuation of the downtrend down to the next BOS level.
Example 2
The next example illustrates a downtrend developing with a Fair Value Gap on the 1-hour timeframe. The FVG is also displayed directly on the HTF candles in the chart.
The pattern forms within the HTF Fair Value Gap, indicating that we can balance this inefficiency and ride the continuation of the downtrend.
The target can simply be a 1:2 or 1:3 risk–reward ratio, as in our case.
📌 CONCLUSION
These two examples illustrate how this indicator can be used to identify reversals or trend continuations. In truth, there are countless ways to incorporate this tool, and each trader can adapt the model to fit their own strategy.
Always remember to rely on your own analysis and only enter trades when you feel confident in them.
Q Momentum FlowQ Momentum Flow
A hybrid trend engine combining breakout-driven momentum shifts with adaptive volatility bands. Designed for traders who want clear entries, intelligent exits, and a balance between reactivity and noise control.

Dynamic Trade Signal Validator (DTSV)The Dynamic Trade Signal Validator (DTSV) is designed to filter false trade signals while generating reliable, frequent trade opportunities. False signals, which lead to unprofitable trades, often occur in choppy or low-momentum markets. The DTSV combines Hull Moving Average (HMA) crossovers, Average True Range (ATR) breakout confirmation, and MACD histogram momentum filtering to ensure signals align with trend, volatility, and momentum, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading across assets like stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies.
How It Works
The DTSV uses three components to validate trade signals, balancing frequency and reliability:
HMA Crossover for Trend Direction:
Two HMAs (default: 9-period fast, 21-period slow) detect trend changes. A buy signal triggers when the fast HMA crosses above the slow HMA (bullish), and a sell signal when it crosses below (bearish). HMAs reduce lag compared to traditional MAs, enabling more responsive trend detection.
ATR Breakout Confirmation:
The 14-period ATR ensures significant price movement by requiring the bar’s range (high minus low) to exceed the ATR multiplied by 1.0 (adjustable). This confirms volatility, reducing false signals in stagnant markets.
MACD Histogram Momentum Filter:
The MACD (default: 12, 26, 9) histogram confirms momentum. Buy signals require a positive histogram (bullish momentum), and sell signals need a negative histogram (bearish momentum), ensuring directional strength.
Signal Generation
Buy signals (green triangles below bars) occur when a bullish HMA crossover, ATR breakout, and positive MACD histogram align. Sell signals (red triangles above bars) require a bearish crossover, ATR breakout, and negative histogram. This triple confirmation minimizes false trades while maintaining frequent signals.
Current Fractal High/Low (Dynamic)
This indicator dynamically tracks the most recent confirmed Fractal High and Fractal Low across any timeframe using custom left/right bar configurations.
🔍 Key Features:
Detects Fractal Highs and Lows based on user-defined pivot settings.
Draws a green line and label ("FH") at the most recent Fractal High.
Draws a red line and label ("FL") at the most recent Fractal Low.
All lines extend from the confirmation bar to the current candle.
Automatically removes old lines and labels for a clean, uncluttered chart.
🛠️ Customizable Inputs:
Left & Right bars for pivot sensitivity
Line width for visibility
📌 Use Cases:
Identifying structure shifts
Recognizing key swing points
Supporting liquidity and breakout strategies
💡 Fractals are confirmed only after the full formation of the pattern (left and right bars). This ensures reliability over reactivity.
This script is designed for intraday to swing traders who want a reliable way to visualize market turning points with minimal noise.
Trend Oscillator# Trend Oscillator: Advanced Technical Analysis Indicator
## Overview
The Trend Oscillator is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to identify market trends, momentum shifts, and potential reversal points. Unlike basic oscillators, this indicator combines key analytical approaches to provide a more comprehensive market analysis:
1. **Mean Deviation-Based Oscillator**:(160) At its core, it measures price deviations from moving averages normalized by mean deviation
2. **Fixed Reference Levels**: Clear overbought/oversold thresholds that define extreme market conditions
3. **Trend Filtering**: EMA(36)-based trend direction confirmation to reduce false signals
## Technical Foundation
### Core Calculation Method
The indicator derives its primary oscillator value using a normalized deviation method:
- Calculates a typical price (average of source + high + low)
- Measures the deviation of typical price from its moving average
- Normalizes this deviation by the mean deviation multiplied by a scaling factor (0.015)
This formula effectively creates a momentum oscillator that quantifies how far price has moved from its equilibrium value, relative to typical market volatility.
### Fixed Overbought/Oversold Levels
The Trend Oscillator uses consistent reference levels to identify extreme market conditions:
- Standardized overbought level set at +100
- Standardized oversold level set at -100
- Neutral zone centered around the zero line
These fixed thresholds provide reliable reference points for signal generation and trend strength assessment.
### Trend Filtering Mechanism
The indicator incorporates an EMA-based trend filter that:
- Calculates a directional bias using price position relative to its EMA 36
- Modifies oscillator interpretation based on the prevailing trend
- Helps distinguish between counter-trend corrections and actual reversals
## How to Use the Trend Oscillator
### For Trend Identification
- **Bullish trend**: Oscillator above zero with positive slope
- **Bearish trend**: Oscillator below zero with negative slope
- **Trend strength**: Distance from zero line indicates trend intensity
- **Trend confirmation**: When oscillator and trend filter align
### For Entry Signals
- **Long entry opportunities**:
- Oscillator crossing above the signal line during uptrend
- Oscillator exiting oversold territory with trend filter positive
- Price showing strength while oscillator moves from negative to positive
- **Short entry opportunities**:
- Oscillator crossing below the signal line during downtrend
- Oscillator exiting overbought territory with trend filter negative
- Price showing weakness while oscillator moves from positive to negative
### For Exit Signals
- **Taking profits**: When oscillator approaches extreme levels in your trade direction
- **Stop-loss placement**: When oscillator crosses signal line against your position
- **Trend change warning**: When oscillator crosses zero line against your position
## Customization Options
### General Settings

- Oscillator crosses signal line in trend direction
- Price pulls back to neutral zone during strong trend
2. Exit when:
- Oscillator crosses signal line against position
- Trend filter changes direction
- Oscillator reaches extreme level in your trade direction
### Counter-Trend Approach
1. Look for reversal opportunities when:
- Oscillator reaches extreme overbought/oversold levels
- Signal line crossover occurs at extreme readings
- Price action confirms potential reversal
2. Exit when:
- Target price levels are reached
- Oscillator returns to neutral zone
- New signals emerge in opposite direction
## Indicator Strengths

Adaptive Momentum Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Adaptive Momentum Oscillator tool allows traders to measure the current relative momentum over a given period using the maximum delta in price.
It features a histogram with gradient color, divergences, and an adaptive moving average that allows traders to clearly see the smoothed trend direction.
🔶 USAGE
This unbounded oscillator has positive momentum when values are above 0 and negative momentum when values are below 0. The adaptive moving average is used as a minimum lag smoothing tool over the momentum histogram.
🔹 Signal Line
There are two main uses for the signal line drawn on the chart above.
Momentum crosses above or below the signal line: acceleration in momentum.
Signal line crosses the 0 value: positive or negative momentum.
🔹 Data Length
On the chart above, we can compare different length sizes and how the tool values change, allowing traders to get a shorter or longer-term view of current market strength.
🔹 Smoothing Length
In the previous figure, we can compare how different Smoothing Length values affect the oscillator output.
🔹 Divergences
The divergence detector is disabled by default. Traders can enable it and adjust the divergence length from the settings panel.
As we can see in the chart above, by changing the length of the divergences, traders can fine-tune their detection, a small number will detect smaller divergences, and use a larger number for larger divergences.
🔶 SETTINGS
Data: Select data source, close price by default
Data Length: Select the length for data gathering
Smoothing Length: Select the length for data smoothing
Divergences: Enable/Disable divergences detection and length
Camarilla Pivot Plays█ OVERVIEW
This indicator implements the Camarilla Pivot Points levels and a system for suggesting particular plays. It only calculates and shows the 3rd, 4th, and 6th levels, as these are the only ones used by the system. In total, there are 12 possible plays, grouped into two groups of six. The algorithm constantly evaluates conditions for entering and exiting the plays and indicates them in real time, also triggering user-configurable alerts.
█ CREDITS
The Camarilla pivot plays are defined in a strategy developed by Thor Young, and the whole system is explained in his book "A Complete Day Trading System" . The indicator is published with his permission, and he is a user of it. The book is not necessary in order to understand and use the indicator; this description contains sufficient information to use it effectively.
█ FEATURES
Automatically draws plays, suggesting an entry, stop-loss, and maximum target
User can set alerts on chosen ticker to call these plays, even when not currently viewing them
Highly configurable via many options
Works for US/European stocks and US futures (at least)
Works correctly on both RTH and ETH charts
Automatically switches between RTH and ETH data
Optionally also shows the "other" set of pivots (RTH vs ETH data)
Configurable behaviour in the pre-market, not active in the post-market
Configurable sensitivity of the play detection algorithm
Can also show weekly and monthly Camarilla pivots
Well-documented options tooltips
Sensible defaults which are suitable for immediate use
Well-documented and high-quality open-source code for those who are interested
█ HOW TO USE
The defaults work well; at a minimum, just add the indicator and watch the plays being called. To avoid having to watch securities, by selecting the three dots next to the indicator name, you can set an alert on the indicator and choose to be alerted on play entry or exit events—or both. The following diagram shows several plays activated in the past (with the "Show past plays" option selected).
By default, the indicator draws plays 5 days back; this can be changed up to 20 days. The labels can be shifted left/right using the "label offset" option to avoid overlapping with other labels in this indicator or those of another indicator.
An information box at the top-right of the chart shows:
The data currently in use for the main pivots. This can switch in the pre-market if the H/L range exceeds the previous day's H/L, and if it does, you will see that switch at the time that it happens
Whether the current day's pivots are in a higher or lower range compared to the previous day's. This is based on the RTH close, so large moves in the post-market won't be reflected (there is an advanced option to change this)
The width of the value relationship in the current day compared to the previous day
The currently active play. If multiple plays are active in parallel, only the last activated one is shown
The resistance pivots are all drawn in the same colour (red by default), as are the support pivots (green by default). You can change the resistance and support colours, but it is not possible to have different colours for different levels of the same kind. Plays will always use the correct colour, drawing over the pivots. For example, R4 is red by default, but if a play treats R4 as a support, then the play will draw a green line (by default) over the red R4 line, thereby hiding it while the play is active.
There are a few advanced parameters; leave these as default unless you really know what they do. Please note the script is complicated—it does a lot. You might need to wait a few seconds while it (re)calculates on new tickers or when changing options. Give it time when first loading or changing options!
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is focused around daily Camarilla pivots and implements 12 possible plays: 6 when in a higher range, 6 when in a lower range. The plays are labelled by two letters—the first indicates the range, the second indicates the play—as shown in this diagram:
The pivots can be calculated using only RTH (Regular Trading Hours) data, or ETH (Extended Trading Hours) data, which includes the pre-market and post-market. The indicator implements logic to automatically choose the correct data, based on the rules defined by the strategy. This is user-overridable. With the default options, ETH will be used when the H/L range in the previous day's post-market or current day's pre-market exceeds that of the previous day's regular market. In auto mode, the chosen pivots are considered the main pivots for that day and are the ones used for play evaluation. The "other" pivots can also be shown—"other" here meaning using ETH data when the main pivots use RTH data, and vice versa.
When displaying plays in the pre-market, since the RTH open is not yet known (and that value is needed to evaluate play pre-conditions), the pre-market open is used as a proxy for the RTH open. After the regular market opens, the correct RTH open is used to evaluate play conditions.
█ NOTE FOR FUTURES
Futures always use full ETH data in auto mode. Users may, however, wish to use the option "Always use RTH close," which uses the 3 p.m. Central Time (CME/Chicago) as a basis for the close in the pivot calculations (instead of the 4 p.m. actual close).
Futures don't officially have a pre-market or post-market like equities. Let's take ES on CME as an example (CME is in Chicago, so all times are Central Time, i.e., 1 hour behind Eastern Time). It trades from 17:00 Sunday to 16:00 Friday, with a daily pause between 16:00 and 17:00. However, most of the trading activity is done between 08:30 and 15:00 (Central), which you can tell from the volume spikes at those times, and this coincides with NYSE/NASDAQ regular hours (09:30–16:00 Eastern). So we define a pseudo-pre-market from 17:00 the previous day to 08:30 on the current day, then a pseudo-regular market from 08:30 to 15:00, then a pseudo-post-market from 15:00 to 16:00.
The indicator then works exactly the same as with equities—all the options behave the same, just with different session times defined for the pre-, regular, and post-market, with "RTH" meaning just the regular market and "ETH" meaning all three. The only difference from equities is that the auto calculation mode always uses ETH instead of switching based on ETH range compared to RTH range. This is so users who just leave all the defaults are not confused by auto-switching of the calculation mode; normally you'll want the pivots based on all the (ETH) data. However, both "Force RTH" and "Use RTH close with ETH data" work the same as with equities—so if, in the calculations, you really want to only use RTH data, or use all ETH H/L data but use the RTH close (at 15:00), you can.
█ LIMITATIONS
The pivots are very close to those shown in DAS Trader Pro. They are not to-the-cent exact, but within a few cents. The reasons are:
TradingView uses real-time data from CBOE One, so doesn't have access to full exchange data (unless you pay for it in TradingView), and
the close/high/low are taken from the intraday timeframe you are currently viewing, not daily data—which are very close, but often not exactly the same. For example, the high on the daily timeframe may differ slightly from the daily high you'll see on an intraday timeframe.
I have occasionally seen larger than a few cents differences in the pivots between these and DAS Trader Pro—this is always due to differences in data, for example a big spike in the data in TradingView but not in DAS Trader Pro, or vice versa. The more traded the stock is, the less the difference tends to be. Highly traded stocks are usually within a few cents. Less traded stocks may be more (for example, 30¢ difference in R4 is the highest I've seen). If it bothers you, official NYSE/NASDAQ data in TradingView is quite inexpensive (but even that doesn't make the 8am candle identical).
The 6th Camarilla level does not have a standard definition and may not match the level shown on other platforms. It does match the definition used by DAS Trader Pro.
The indicator is an intraday indicator (despite also being able to show weekly and monthly pivots on an intraday chart). It deactivates on a daily timeframe and higher. It is untested on sub-minute timeframes; you may encounter runtime errors on these due to various historical data referencing issues. Also, the play detection algorithm would likely be unpredictable on sub-minute timeframes. Therefore, sub-minute timeframes are formally unsupported.
The indicator was developed and tested for US/European stocks and US futures. It may or may not work as intended for stocks and futures in different locations. It does not work for other security types (e.g., crypto), where I have no evidence that the strategy has any relevance.

Multi-VWAP System🚀 Multi-VWAP System — Anchored VWAP & Deviation Bands
Overview
The Multi-VWAP System provides traders with a professional-grade approach to anchored VWAP analysis. Inspired by Brian Shannon's pioneering work on Anchored VWAP, this indicator automatically calculates and plots:
Current Session VWAP
Previous Session VWAP (also known as "2-Day VWAP")
High-of-Day (HOD) Anchored VWAP
Each VWAP can also display optional Standard Deviation Bands to highlight statistically significant deviations from the volume-weighted average price.
🔍 Why Anchored VWAP Matters
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is among the most critical institutional indicators, as it represents the average price paid for a stock adjusted by trading volume. This makes VWAP crucial for identifying fair value and significant areas of institutional activity.
Institutions utilize VWAP extensively to guide their execution algorithms. For instance, if price dips below a 2-day anchored VWAP (anchored to the previous session's open), many institutions interpret this as a discounted entry, potentially triggering large-scale buy programs. Conversely, sustained movement above VWAP signals strong buying pressure and bullish sentiment.
📌 Why Multiple Anchors?
Traders commonly anchor VWAPs at critical reference points:
Current Session VWAP:
Essential for day traders as a reference for intraday sentiment. Price action above this line generally indicates bullish sentiment, while price below signals bearish sentiment.
Previous Session (2-Day) VWAP:
Heavily used by institutions and swing traders, it provides insight into multi-session sentiment. Institutions commonly activate buy or sell programs based on whether price is trading at a premium or discount relative to this VWAP.
High-of-Day (HOD) VWAP:
Frequently used by momentum traders, this anchor captures sentiment after the most recent intraday high. Price above the HOD VWAP suggests sustained bullish momentum, while price below might signal weakening momentum.
🌟 Standard Deviation Bands
Each anchored VWAP in this indicator includes optional Standard Deviation Bands, highlighting statistical extremes. Traders use these bands to:
Identify potentially overextended moves (beyond +2σ or +3σ).
Gauge momentum strength (holding above +1σ).
Spot mean-reversion setups when price returns to VWAP after extreme moves.
🎨 Dynamic Background and Momentum Colorization
To visually highlight strength or weakness in price action relative to VWAP:
Dynamic Background Fill between Current and Previous VWAPs:
Green background appears when the Current VWAP is above the Previous VWAP and the linear regression slope (adjustable length) is positive, indicating bullish sentiment.
Red background appears when the Current VWAP is below the Previous VWAP and the slope is negative, indicating bearish sentiment.
No fill when conditions are mixed or momentum is uncertain.
Gold Fill above HOD VWAP:
When price action is above the High-of-Day VWAP and momentum (linear regression slope) is positive, a subtle gold shading appears, quickly highlighting bullish momentum.
⚙ Fully Customizable Settings
Session Times: Adjust session start and end times to match your specific market hours.
Standard Deviation Bands: Enable or disable each VWAP’s deviation bands individually and select how many bands (1σ, 2σ, or 3σ) you'd like to display.
Momentum Slope Length: Adjustable lookback for linear regression slope calculation—giving you full control of trend sensitivity.
🎯 Who Should Use This Indicator?
This indicator is perfect for:
Day Traders who want quick insights into intraday sentiment shifts.
Swing Traders tracking institutional footprints and seeking optimal entry/exit points.
Momentum Traders who rely on clearly visible momentum signals from HOD anchored VWAPs.
Institutional Traders and Professionals seeking sophisticated, institutionally-inspired VWAP analysis without manual anchoring.
📈 Summary of Features
✅ Automatic VWAP Anchors (Current Session, Previous Session, High-of-Day)
✅ Optional Standard Deviation Bands for each VWAP anchor
✅ Dynamic Background Coloring based on price action and momentum conditions
✅ Gold Momentum Highlight for quick bullish momentum identification above HOD VWAP

Key Recent Highs and LowsKey Recent Highs & Lows — Session‐Aware Market Structure
TL;DR
This tool plots the most important intraday price extremes for every U.S.‑equity trading segment—Early Premarket • Western Premarket • Regular Hours • Post‑Market Hours • Yesterday’s Range—and labels them so you can trade break‑outs, retests and mean‑reversion with instant context.
📐 Theory & Why These Levels Matter
Liquidity Pools
Visible session extremes attract resting orders (stop‑losses, take‑profits, opening prints). Price often accelerates into them and reacts at them.
Market Memory
The previous day’s high/low is a widely‑watched pivot for gap fills, overnight inventory corrections and multi‑day breakouts.
Mean‑Reversion Windows
Statistically, pre‑ and post‑market ranges are thin; an aggressive spike outside those bands often retraces when full liquidity returns.
Break‑Out Confirmation
A true breakout isn’t just a tick above RTH‑high—it usually closes or at least consolidates above the prior extreme. Seeing all bands lets you gauge whether a push is “real” or just probing thinner sessions.
Put simply, these levels help you decide:
Break‑out ➜ trade in the direction of expansion past a session extreme with follow‑through.
Fade/Mean‑Revert ➜ fade a spike that tags an extreme without commitment (e.g., hits Western‑Premkt‑High then stalls before RTH).
🔍 What the Script Draws
Session (UTC‑4 EST) Default Color / Style Typical Use‑Case
Early Premarket 4 – 7 AM Thick semi‑transparent orange line detect overnight retail spikes / fade plays
Western Premarket 7 – 9 : 30 AM Dashed orange‑red breakout watch as U.S. brokers open
Regular Session (RTH) 9 : 30 – 16 : 00 Bold teal dotted line core intraday structure; classic highs/lows
Post‑Market 16 – 23 : 59 Soft indigo band after‑hours news moves, earnings fades
Previous‑Day RTH Solid teal gap‑fill targets, trend continuation filters
(All colors, thicknesses and transparencies are editable in the settings.)
✨ Features
Real‑Time Updates
Levels refresh tick‑by‑tick inside their own session—no repainting later.
One‑Click Visibility Toggles
Show or hide any session extreme independently.
Clean Auto‑Labels
Optional right‑edge tags (“RTH High”, “Premkt Low”, etc.) keep your chart readable even when lines overlap.
Automatic Daily Reset
At midnight Eastern, buffers clear and yesterday’s extremes roll into the “Prev‑Day” pair.
Zero‑Noise Design
Transparencies and line styles are tuned so you can overlay on any symbol / timeframe without drowning candles.
📈 How to Trade with It
Intraday Breakout Strategy
Mark confluence (e.g., price pushes through Western Premkt High and Yesterday’s High).
Wait for a pullback that holds above the reclaimed band.
Enter with stop under that session line; target next band or measured‑move.
Fade / Mean‑Reversion
Pre‑market headline sends price 5 % above Early Premkt High.
Volume dries up before RTH open.
Short into exhaustion; cover near Western Premkt High or VWAP.
Gap‑Fill & Trend Days
Cash open gaps above Prev‑Day High.
If first 15‑min candle closes back inside yesterday’s range, bias shifts to downside fade.
If it holds above, treat gap as breakout and track RTH High extensions.
Pair it with volume‑profile, VWAP, or momentum oscillators for even higher‑confidence setups.
⚙️ Settings Cheat‑Sheet
Setting Effect
Show Regular / Premarket / Post‑market High/Low Master visibility per session
Show Previous Day High/Low Toggle yesterday’s anchor range
Show Session Labels Turn the right‑edge tags on/off
Style Panel Change each line’s color, width, transparency, dash/dot
🛠️ Best Practices
Works on any intraday timeframe (1‑min to 1‑hour).
Crypto or 24 h markets: adjust session times to match your exchange.
Combine with alerts (e.g., “price crossing RTH High”) for hands‑free monitoring.
Put KRHL on your chart and you’ll never wonder which high matters most again—because they’re all right there, clearly labeled and color‑coded. Trade breakouts or fades with confidence, armed with the exact market structure everyone else is watching.
Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)
Script Description
This TradingView indicator is optimized for Forex, scalping, intraday, and day trading strategies. It accurately plots Pivot Points and levels, high/low, support and resistance levels. These are clearly identified to aid the trader during killzone sessions and session opens. Ideal for scalp trading, intraday sessions, and leveraging SMT (Smart Money Techniques). Utilize these Price Levels effectively during London Open, NY Open, and the Asia Session, utilizing Market Structure to pinpoint key levels and reversal zones for successful trading. Improve your Trade Setups, recognize reliable Chart Patterns, identify critical Price Pivots, and trade confidently off Institutional Levels.
This script marks the intraday pivot highs, lows and midpoints retracement levels for
Asia
London
New York
It also plots the previous day's high, low, midpoint, and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, providing traders with critical price reference points for making intraday trading decisions.
Originality & Usefulness
This indicator uniquely integrates pivot calculations across three major Forex sessions (Asia, London, NY), clearly delineating session boundaries.
It enhances visibility by using distinct styling
solid for New York
dashed for London
dotted lines for Asia
And colour co-ordinated labeling, improving traders' ability to identify important intraday price action zones efficiently. Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script emphasizes session-specific trading dynamics.
### Key Features ###
Session-Based Levels: Automatically plots high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci (.618) levels for each major session (Asia, London, NY).
Distinct Visual Cues: Lines and labels use session-specific styles and colors to easily differentiate between sessions.
Previous Day Reference: Clearly plots and labels yesterday's high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci levels.
Flexible Visibility: Traders can set timeframe visibility to maintain clean charts on higher timeframes.
### How It Works
At the start of next day's session, previous session lines are cleared, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered.
High, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci retracement levels (.618) are dynamically calculated and displayed at the close of each session.
All session levels remain visible until the start of the next respective session, providing continuous actionable insights.
Trading Application:
Session highs and lows act as strong intraday support and resistance zones.
Midpoints and Fibonacci levels are effective for identifying potential reversal zones and retracements.
Daily levels provide a broader context, useful for gauging intraday volatility and range.
### Limitations and Considerations ##
Best used on liquid assets with clear session-based price action, such as Forex major pairs, if used on indexes make sure they contain 24 hour price action not just New York session.
This indicator is designed to streamline intraday trading by clearly marking essential pivot points and session-based levels, significantly improving traders' market context and decision-making accuracy. Can be used to enhance SMT decision making when scalping killzones.
Ehlers Regime Dynamic CandlesCore Calculation Mechanism
The indicator uses advanced Ehlers signal processing techniques to identify market regimes and create dynamically colored candles that reflect market conditions.
Super Smoother Filter: Price data (open, high, low, close) is processed through an Ehlers Super Smoother Filter to reduce market noise while preserving important price movements. This creates a clearer signal for regime detection.
Autocorrelation Analysis: The core of regime detection uses autocorrelation functions at different lag periods:
Primary autocorrelation measures correlation between the current price and its previous value
Trending autocorrelation measures longer-term persistence in the data series
These values combined determine if the market is in a trending or choppy regime
(Image showing Ehlers custom candles vs default candlesticks)
Regime Strength Calculation:
-Raw signal from autocorrelation with user-defined threshold adjustment
-Adaptive scaling based on sensitivity parameter
-Optional volume validation that confirms signal strength using volume data
-Normalization to 0-1 range and smoothing for visual consistency
-Percentile ranking to provide contextually meaningful strength values
Fisher Transform: Applied to the smoothed price to identify statistical extremes, which helps adjust transparency levels during significant price movements.
Key Features & Components
Regime Detection: Identifies trending vs. choppy market conditions using Ehlers' autocorrelation techniques.
Dynamic Candle Coloring: Candles transition smoothly between three color states:
Bullish trending (typically green/teal)
Bearish trending (typically red/purple)
Choppy/neutral (typically blue/silver)
Volume Validation: Optional incorporation of volume data to confirm trend strength (stronger volume during trending periods increases confidence).
Adaptive Transparency: Candles become more opaque during statistically significant price movements based on Fisher Transform values.
Gradient Smoothing: Controls the visual transition between regime states for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Customizable Colors and Style: Full control over all visual aspects including candle body/wick colors and transparency.
Configuration Options
Users can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Main Settings:
Cycle Length: Controls the lookback period for cycle detection. Lower values increase responsiveness but may introduce noise.
Gradient Smoothness: Determines how quickly colors transition when regime changes.
Trend Detection Threshold: Sets the autocorrelation strength required to classify a trend.
Trend Sensitivity: Scales regime strength calculation to produce a better distribution of values.
Use Volume: Toggles whether volume data is used to validate trend strength.
Color Settings:
Trending Regime Colors: Separate color options for bullish and bearish candle bodies and wicks.
Choppy Regime Colors: Color options for candle bodies and wicks during sideways/neutral markets.
Style Settings:
Candle Border Options: Toggle borders and adjust their color and transparency.
Adaptive Transparency: Enable/disable dynamic transparency based on statistical significance.
Base Transparency: Set the baseline transparency level for all candles.
Interpretation Notes
Color Transitions: As the market shifts between regimes, candle colors gradually transition, providing visual cues about market structure changes.
Regime Strength: The intensity of colors indicates the strength of the detected regime:
Strong trending regimes show vibrant trending colors
Weak or mixed regimes display colors closer to the choppy/neutral color
Transitions between regimes show gradient colors
Transparency Changes: More opaque candles indicate statistically significant price movements, while more transparent candles suggest routine or less significant price action.
Volume Interaction: When volume validation is enabled, trending colors become more pronounced during high volume trends and subdued during low volume periods.
Disclaimer: These are custom candles that are significantly different from normal candlesticks.
Unlike traditional candlesticks that display raw price data, these candles:
• Use Ehlers signal processing to filter and smooth price data
• Dynamically change color based on detected market regimes
• Show statistical significance through transparency
• May appear delayed compared to standard candles due to the filtering process
Traditional trading strategies dependent on candlestick patterns will not work with these.
Risk Disclaimer
Trading involves significant risk. This indicator is provided for analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use sound risk management practices and never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. The Ehlers Regime Dynamic Candles indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading approach, not as a standalone trading system.
Closest Candle to EMA (CCE)🔍 Closest Candle to EMA (CCE)
The Closest Candle to EMA (CCE) indicator is a visual analytical tool designed to identify the historical price (candle close) that is closest to the current Exponential Moving Average (EMA) over a user-defined period. This allows traders to easily detect how price has interacted with the trend line recently, providing insights into potential mean reversion, support/resistance, and price convergence behavior.
📌 Key Features
✅ Highlights the candle with a closing price closest to the current EMA
✅ Customizable EMA length for various trading styles and timeframes
✅ Helps detect potential zones of trend interaction
✅ Supports analysis of price behavior near dynamic support/resistance
✅ Lightweight and non-intrusive visual overlay (red = closest price, blue = EMA)
🧠 How It Works
The script calculates the EMA using the user-defined length (default: 20).
It then scans the last N candles (equal to the EMA length) and finds the one whose closing price is closest to the current EMA value.
That close is highlighted in red, while the EMA is shown in blue.
This comparison helps traders understand the proximity of past price action to the current trend level.
💡 Use Cases
Mean Reversion Strategies – Spot when price historically reverts to the trend
Dynamic Support/Resistance Identification – Find levels where price respected or returned to the EMA
Consolidation Zone Analysis – Identify areas where price hovered around trend lines
Backtesting Trend Sensitivity – See how price reacted to EMA over time
⚙️ Settings
EMA Length – Set the number of periods used for EMA and comparison window (default: 20)
📊 Example Strategy Setup – EMA Touch with Reversal Candle
This indicator can be incorporated into a price-action strategy that combines candlestick patterns, EMA proximity, and volume confirmation. Here's a practical use case:
🔧 Note: This setup is designed specifically with the EMA length set to 9.
🔁 Bullish Setup – Hammer + EMA (in uptrend)
The market is in an uptrend, confirmed by EMA(9) sloping upward
A Hammer candlestick forms
The EMA (blue) must touch the lower shadow (wick) of the Hammer
It must not touch the candle body
Candle volume is above average
→ ✅ This may signal a bullish continuation opportunity
🔁 Bearish Setup – Shooting Star + EMA (in downtrend)
The market is in a downtrend, confirmed by EMA(9) sloping downward
A Shooting Star candlestick forms
The EMA (blue) must touch the upper shadow (wick) of the candle
It must not touch the candle body
Candle volume is above average
Market Volatility and Price Momentum @MaxMaserati 2.0# Market Volatility and Price Momentum MaxMaserati 2.0 (MVPM 2.0)
## Overview
MVPM 2.0 is a premium multi-factor technical analysis system that combines momentum evaluation, volatility band analysis, trend filtering, and price action to identify high-probability trading opportunities. This advanced indicator uses a proprietary algorithm to measure market sentiment through four distinct technical components, providing clear visual signals through gradient bar coloring and special equilibrium markers.
## Key Features
### Multi-Factor Analysis System
The indicator evaluates four critical market components:
- **Momentum (M)**: Analyzes the relationship between momentum lines to detect directional bias
- **Volatility (V)**: Measures price position relative to adaptive volatility bands
- **Trend (T)**: Uses a sophisticated two-pole filter to determine trend direction
- **Price Action (P)**: Tracks price movement relative to momentum lines
### Innovative Tick-Based Calculation
- **Mathematical Precision**: Uses market-relevant tick size (0.25) as the foundational unit for indicator calculations
- **Configurable Tick Separation**: Adjust the number of ticks between momentum and signal lines (0.1-10.0) to fine-tune sensitivity
- **Adaptive Calibration**: Lower tick values create earlier, more sensitive signals; higher values provide stronger confirmation
- **Market-Specific Optimization**: Perfect for customizing across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility conditions
- **Technical Edge**: The tick-based approach ensures mathematically precise signals that respect each market's natural price structure
### Dual Volatility Band Modes
- **Long Term Trend Mode**: Volatility bands calculated independently from momentum lines, providing broader market context
- **Short Term Trend Mode**: Volatility bands anchored to momentum signal line, offering more precise trading ranges
### Visual Signals
- **Color-Gradient Bars**: Displays signal strength (1-4) through color intensity
- Deeper green/lime: Strong bullish conviction (more factors aligned)
- Deeper red: Strong bearish conviction (more factors aligned)
- Yellow: Market equilibrium (equal bullish and bearish factors)
- Black Circle Markers**: Special signals that appear at equilibrium of price which means ranging/consolidation/pause points
### Customizable Information Table
- **Fully Configurable Display**: Toggle individual rows on/off
- **Positioning & Sizing**: Adjust table location and size to fit your chart layout
## Price Position Interpretation
### Directional Bias Determination
- **Strong Bullish**: Price above all indicator lines (momentum, signal, and volatility bands)
- **Strong Bearish**: Price below all indicator lines
- **Consolidation/Neutral**: Price between indicator lines, especially within volatility bands
### Market Participation Assessment
- **Inside Volatility Bands**: Insufficient market participants to establish clear direction
- **Short-Term Volatility Mode Advantage**: More clearly defines the neutral zone where price is caught between momentum lines and volatility bands
- **Consolidation Identification**: When price fluctuates between all indicator lines, market is seeking equilibrium
Trading Strategies
Momentum Breakouts
Wait for price to break above/below all the lines with a body close. Green for Bullish and Red for Bearish
For Short Term Mode:
Look for the first retest of any of the indicator lines (momentum or signal lines)
Wait for a reaction with body close candle (a candle that remains green/red is significantly more reliable)
Confirm that the reaction candle's body closes below/above all indicator lines
Enter after this precise line test and reaction sequence
Bearish Example
Bullish example
For Long Term Mode:
Look for the first retest of the Bullish/bearish volatility lines without closing above/below these lines
Wait for a reaction with body close candle (a candle that remains green/red is significantly more reliable)
Confirm that the reaction candle's body closes below/above all indicator lines
Enter after this precise volatility band test and reaction sequence.
Bearish example
Bullish Example
NO ENTRY EXAMPLE
Volatility Band Mean Reversion
Identify when price is near or beyond volatility bands
Look for reversal candlestick patterns or divergence
Enter when price begins moving back toward momentum lines
Exit when price reaches the opposite volatility band or momentum line
Post-Breakout Continuation
After price crosses all indicator lines, wait for a pullback
Enter when price retests but respects any indicator line as support/resistance
Confirm with multi-factor alignment (3-4 strength) in the breakout direction
Trail stops behind retested indicator lines as trade progresses
Tick Optimization Strategy
Start with default tick separation (1.0)
For ranging markets: Increase tick separation (2.0-3.0) to reduce false signals
For trending markets: Decrease tick separation (0.5-0.8) for earlier entries
Fine-tune tick values for each specific instrument based on its volatility profile
