Color Profile System
Before diving into individual tools, it's important to understand the color profile system that unifies all visual elements of the indicator. Choose from 7 distinct color profiles. The selected color profile automatically applies to all indicator components, ensuring visual consistency across your chart.
Trend Cloud
What It Is
The Trend Cloud is an adaptive overlay that uses multiple moving averages to create a dynamic zone representing the market's trend strength and direction. Unlike traditional moving average clouds, this cloud automatically adjusts its width based on market momentum and volatility.
Not only does the Trend Cloud effectively identify trend direction, but it also acts as a strong support and resistance area.
How to Use It
1. Trend Identification: Use the cloud color and price position to identify the primary trend
2. Support/Resistance: The cloud edges act as dynamic support (in uptrends) and resistance (in downtrends)
3. Trend Strength: Monitor cloud width - expanding clouds suggest momentum building, contracting clouds suggest momentum fading
4. Entry Signals: Look for pullbacks to the cloud edge during strong trends
5. Exit Signals: Consider exits when price crosses through the cloud against the trend
Pro Tips
- Combine with Moving Average Ribbon for confluence at key levels
- Use the cloud as a "trend filter" - only take trades in the direction of the cloud color
- Watch for "cloud flips" (color changes) as potential trend reversal signals
- A relatively flat Trend Cloud can be interpreted as a ranging market
Moving Average Ribbon
What It Is
The Moving Average Ribbon consists of two Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) lines that create a dynamic ribbon for identifying trend direction and strength. ALMA is known for its reduced lag and smoother response compared to traditional moving averages.
How It Works
Both lines use the same base length but different offset and sigma parameters to create a subtle separation that forms a ribbon. The space between them fills with color to create a visual ribbon effect.
How to Use It
1. Trend Direction: The ribbon color indicates the current trend direction
2. Dynamic Support/Resistance: The ribbon edges act as support in uptrends and resistance in downtrends
3. Momentum Gauge: Width between the lines indicates trend strength
4. Crossover Signals: When the lines cross, it suggests a potential trend change
5. Pullback Entries: Look for price to touch the ribbon during trends as entry opportunities
Pro Tips
- Lower ribbon length (10-15) for faster, more responsive signals on lower timeframes
- Higher ribbon length (30-50) for smoother signals on higher timeframes
- Use ribbon color as a "permission slip" - only take longs when ribbon is bullish
- Watch for price to "respect" the ribbon - bounces off the ribbon confirm trend strength
B3AR's Super Channel
What It Is
B3AR's Super Channel is an advanced dynamic channel that combines multiple momentum and volatility calculations into a single adaptive channel. The channel includes special highlights when price is especially overbought or oversold.
How to Use It
1. Dynamic Support/Resistance: Use channel lines as key levels for entries and exits
2. Overbought/Oversold: Price at channel extremes suggests potential mean reversion
3. Trend Confirmation: During strong trends, price will "ride" one edge of the channel
4. Breakout Detection**: Price breaking outside the channel suggests unusual strength/weakness
Pro Tips
- Use highlighted lines as extreme caution zones - reversals are likely
- Combine with Trend Cloud - when both agree, signals are stronger
- In ranging markets, fade extremes (buy at bottom, sell at top)
- In trending markets, use channel as trailing stop
- Increase ATR Distance in volatile markets, decrease in calm markets
Intelligent Candle Coloring
What It Is
Intelligent Candle Coloring replaces standard candle colors with algorithm-driven colors that reveal the underlying market structure. Five different methods are available, each analyzing different market characteristics.
Method 1 : None
Standard candle coloring - use this if you prefer traditional candle colors.
Method 2 : CVD Trend Algo (Rule-Based)
This method uses Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) combined with Heikin Ashi smoothing and Kalman filtering to create a sophisticated trend-following color system.
Method 3 : CVD Trend Simple (Size-Based)
Similar to CVD Trend Algo but uses Z-score analysis instead of rules for color assignment.
Method 4 : CVD Raw
A simplified version that uses raw CVD percentile ranking for immediate visual feedback.
Method 5 : Volatility Adaptive
Uses Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average to color candles based on adaptive trend strength.
How It Works:
- Calculates three KAMA lines (fast, medium, slow)
- Colors determined by the relationship between these KAMAs
Method 6: Trend Strength (TRAMA)
Uses Triangular Moving Average with ATR-based adaptation for trend strength analysis.
How It Works:
- Calculates three TRAMA lines (fast, medium, slow) that adapt to volatility
- Similar logic to KAMA method but more responsive to volatility changes
Pro Tips
- CVD methods work best on liquid assets with high volume
- Adaptive methods (KAMA/TRAMA) work better on trending markets
- Match the method to your timeframe: CVD Raw for scalping, CVD Trend Algo for swing trading
- Use weak colors as warnings - trend may be losing steam

Crypto Grid 2025+ Long Only (Asym TP)Crypto Grid 2025+ Long Only (Asymmetric Take-Profit) is a long-only mean-reversion grid strategy designed for intraday cryptocurrency trading.
The core idea is to accumulate long positions as price moves downward within a locally defined price range and to exit positions on upward retracements.
The strategy automatically builds a multi-level grid between the highest and lowest price over a user-defined lookback period (“range length”). Each grid level acts as a potential entry point when price crosses it from above.
Key Features
1. Long-only grid logic
The strategy opens long positions only, progressively increasing exposure as price moves into lower grid levels.
2. Asymmetric take-profit mechanism
Instead of taking profit strictly at the next grid level, the strategy allows targeting multiple levels above the entry point. This increases the average profit per winning trade and shifts the reward-to-risk profile toward larger, less frequent wins.
3. Optional partial take-profit
A portion of each trade can be closed at the nearest grid level, while the remainder is held for a more distant asymmetric target. This balances consistency and profit potential.
4. Volume-based market filter
Entries can be restricted to periods of healthy market activity by requiring volume to exceed a moving-average baseline.
5. Capital-scaled position sizing
Position size is determined by risk percentage, grid spacing, and a dynamic sizing mode (original / conservative / aggressive).
6. Built-in risk controls
global stop below the lower boundary of the range,
global take-profit above the upper boundary,
automatic shutdown after a configurable loss-streak.
Market Philosophy
This strategy belongs to the mean-reversion family: it expects short-term overshoots to revert back toward mid-range liquidity zones.
It is not trend-following.
It performs best in choppy, range-bound, or slow-grinding markets — especially on liquid crypto pairs.
Recommended Use Cases
Short timeframes (1–15 minutes)
High-liquidity crypto pairs
Sideways or rotational price action
Exchanges with low fees (due to higher order count)
Not Intended For
Strong trending markets without pullbacks
Assets with thin order books
Use with leverage without additional risk controls
Summary
Crypto Grid 2025+ Long Only (Asymmetric TP) is a refined grid-based mean-reversion strategy optimized for modern crypto markets. Its asymmetric take-profit framework is specifically engineered to reduce the classical issue of “small wins and large occasional losses” found in traditional grid systems, giving it a more favorable long-term trade distribution.
Perfect Trend EMAs (9-21-50-100)This indicator provides a clear, color-coded visual representation of trend strength based on the alignment of four Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It is designed to help traders identify "Perfect Trend" setups, where momentum is fully aligned across multiple timeframes, and filter out choppy or ranging markets.
How it Works (The Logic) The indicator plots four distinct EMAs (default lengths: 9, 21, 50, and 100). Instead of simply looking for crossovers, this script analyzes the hierarchical stacking of these averages to determine the market state.
The color coding follows these specific rules:
🟢 Bullish Alignment (Green): This occurs only when there is a "Perfect Bullish" stack.
Logic: EMA 9 > EMA 21 > EMA 50 > EMA 100
Interpretation: Short-term momentum is stronger than long-term momentum, indicating a strong uptrend.
🔴 Bearish Alignment (Red): This occurs only when there is a "Perfect Bearish" stack.
Logic: EMA 9 < EMA 21 < EMA 50 < EMA 100
Interpretation: Short-term momentum is weaker than long-term momentum, indicating a strong downtrend.
⚪ Consolidation / Transition (Gray):
Logic: Any other combination.
Interpretation: The moving averages are intertwined or not perfectly aligned. This usually signals a ranging market, a consolidation phase, or the early stages of a trend reversal before the alignment is confirmed.
Features
Dynamic Coloring: All EMA lines change color simultaneously to provide an instant visual signal of the market state.
Visual Fill: A soft background fill is applied between the fastest (9) and slowest (100) EMA to create a "Trend Cloud," making it easier to spot the expansion and contraction of the trend.
Customization: Users can adjust the lengths of all four EMAs in the settings menu to fit different trading styles (e.g., changing to 20/50/100/200).
How to Use
Trend Following: Traders can look for the lines to turn Green or Red to confirm a trend entry.
Filtering Noise: The Gray zones serve as a filter. If the lines are Gray, the trend is not fully established, suggesting caution or a "wait and see" approach.
Exits: A change from Green/Red back to Gray can act as an early warning sign that the trend momentum is fading.
Bitcoin Relative Macro StrengthBTC Relative Macro Strength
Overview
The BTC Relative Macro Strength indicator measures Bitcoin's price strength relative to the global macro environment. By tracking deviations from the macro trend, it identifies potentially overvalued and undervalued market phases.
The global macro trend is derived by multiplying the ISM PMI (a widely-used proxy for the business cycle) by a simplified measure of global liquidity.
Calculations
Global Liquidity = Fed Balance Sheet − Reverse Repo − Treasury General Account + U.S. M2 + China M2
Global Macro Trend = ISM PMI × Global Liquidity
Understanding the Global Macro Trend
The global macro trend plot combines the ebb and flow of global liquidity with the cyclical patterns of the business cycle. The resulting composite exhibits strong directional correlation with Bitcoin—or more precisely, Bitcoin appears to move in lockstep with liquidity conditions and business cycle phases.
This relationship has strengthened notably since COVID, likely because Bitcoin's growing market capitalization has increased its exposure to macro forces.
The takeaway is that Bitcoin is acutely sensitive to growth in the money supply (it trends with liquidity expansion) and oscillates with the phases of the business cycle.
Indicator Components
📊 Histogram: BTC/Macro Change
Displays the rolling percentage change of Bitcoin's price relative to the global macro trend.
High values: Bitcoin is outpacing macro conditions (potentially overvalued)
Low values: Bitcoin is underperforming macro conditions (potentially undervalued)
Color scheme:
🟢 Green = Positive deviation
🔴 Red = Negative deviation
📈 Macro Slope Line
Plots the scaled percentage change of the global macro trend itself.
Color scheme:
🔵 Teal = BULLISH (slope positive and rising)
⚪ Gray = NEUTRAL (slope and trend disagree)
🟣 Pink = BEARISH (slope negative and falling)
FieldDescription
BTC/Macro Change : Percentage change of Bitcoin's price vs. the Global Macro Trend (default: 21-bar average)
Macro Trend : Composite assessment combining slope direction and trend momentum. Reads BULLISH when both align upward, BEARISH when both align downward, NEUTRAL when they disagree
Macro Slope : The global macro trend's average slope expressed as a percentage
BTC Valuation : Relative valuation category based on BTC/Macro deviation (Extreme Premium → Extreme Discount)
BTC Price : Current Bitcoin price
How to Use
This indicator is primarily useful for identifying market phases where Bitcoin's price has diverged from the global macro trend.
Identify extremes : Look for periods when the histogram reaches elevated positive or negative levels
Assess valuation : Use the BTC Valuation reading to gauge relative over/undervaluation
Confirm with trend : Check whether macro conditions support or contradict the current price level
Mean reversion : Consider that significant deviations from trend historically tend to revert
Note: This indicator identifies relative valuation based on macro conditions—it does not predict price direction or timing.
Settings
Lookback Period - 21 bars - Number of bars for calculating rolling averages
Macro Slope Scale - 3.0 - Multiplier for macro slope line visibility
Trend TraderMost trend indicators don’t offer continuation signals or accurate bounce points, so I created this indicator that uses one of the most common trading levels (EMAs). This indicator uses the 50, 100, and 200 EMAs along with WaveTrend signals to trade trends. Buy Signals are filtered so that they only show up when the 100 EMA is above the 200. And Inverse for Sell Signals.
This indicator works well with both Stocks and Crypto. Default settings work best on 15 min, 1H, 2H, and 4H.
(Chart examples are using Heikin Ashi Candles, on Log Scale.)
*Buy and Sell Signals do not repaint.
Settings:
- Ability to show all buy and sell signals regardless of trend.
- To change the sensitivity of the buy and sell signals, change the “Average Length”
- (The lower the number the more sensitive, the higher the number the less they pop up)
- Ability to change EMA Lengths

Trend CompassAbout This Script
Trend Compass Pro is a multi-layered market analysis tool designed to unify three essential components of price behavior: momentum, trend strength, and directional structure.
It is built to provide traders with a clear and readable visualization of market conditions without relying on external scripts or unnecessary visual clutter.
How It Works
1. Momentum Layer — RSI
The script uses a fast-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) to measure short-term momentum sensitivity.
Its line is dynamically colored based on candle direction (bullish, bearish, neutral), which makes momentum shifts easy to interpret at a glance.
2. Strength Layer — ADX
The next layer applies a standard ADX calculation to measure the strength of the prevailing trend, independent of direction.
A threshold level marks when the trend becomes strong or meaningful.
The ADX line is also color-synchronized with candle direction to highlight moments when trend strength aligns with price momentum.
A visual fill between the RSI and ADX lines appears when both layers agree — green for bullish strength, red for bearish strength.
3. Direction Layer — Trend Compass (Original Logic)
This is the core component of the script and is fully original.
It works by comparing a fast EMA with a slow EMA across three separate internal timeframes, representing:
Short-term trend
Medium-term trend
Long-term trend
Each timeframe outputs a simple directional state based on EMA spread, displayed as three horizontal color-coded bands (levels 25, 50, 75).
These colors show when trend direction is aligned or mixed across different timescales.
Why These Elements Are Combined
The script is not a random combination of indicators.
Each layer solves a distinct analytical need:
RSI → short-term market mood
ADX → strength behind the move
Trend Compass → structural direction across multiple trend horizons
Together, they provide a consolidated and readable picture of how direction, strength, and momentum interact.
How to Use It
When all three layers show bullish agreement → strong and confirmed uptrend
When all three align bearish → strong downtrend
When mixed → transitional or weak environment
When Trend Compass is neutral → market lacks directional structure
This makes the script suitable for trend trading, breakout confirmation, and momentum-aligned entries.
Publishing Notes
A clean chart was used when publishing this script.
No additional indicators or unrelated drawings were included.
All visible elements originate directly from the script and serve the purpose of understanding its function.
Trend Compass combines momentum (RSI), trend strength (ADX), and multi-timeframe direction (EMA-based Trend Compass) into a single clean panel.
The script highlights periods when momentum and strength agree and shows trend direction across three internal time horizons.
It offers a clear way to confirm trend continuation, strength, and reversals without clutter.
Unlock a complete trend-reading system with Trend Compass — a smart fusion of RSI momentum, ADX strength, and a unique triple-layer trend engine.
Identify strong trends instantly, filter noise, and trade only when momentum, strength, and direction align.
MTF Trend Alignment (4H, 1H, 15M)This indicator tells you about market direction by analyzing the trend on 4H, 1H, and 15M time frame. This is best suitable when you want to do multi timeframe analysis to identify the trend
Oracle Protocol — Arch Public (Testing Clone) Oracle Protocol — Arch Public Series (testing clone)
This model implements the Arch Public Oracle structure: a systematic accumulation-and-distribution engine built around a dynamic Accumulation Cost Base (ACB), strict profit-gate exit logic, and a capital-bounded flywheel reinvestment system.
It is designed for transparent execution, deterministic behaviour, and rule-based position management.
Core Function Set
1. Accumulation Framework (ACB-Driven)
The accumulation engine evaluates market movement against defined entry conditions, including:
Percentage-based entry-drop triggers
Optional buy-below-ACB mode
Capital-gated entries tied to available ledger balance
Fixed-dollar and min-dollar entry rules (as seen in Arch public materials)
Automated sizing through flywheel capital
Range-bounded ledger for controlled backtesting input
Each qualifying buy updates the live ACB, maintains the internal ledger, and forms the next reference point for exit evaluation.
No forecasting mechanisms are included.
2. Profit-Gate Exit System
Exits are governed by the standard Arch public approach:
A sealed ACB reference for threshold evaluation
Optional live-ACB visibility
Profit-gate triggers defined per asset class
Candle-confirmation integration (“ProfitGate + Candle” mode)
Distribution only when the smallest active threshold is met
This provides a consistent cadence with published Arch diagrams and PDFs.
3. Once-Per-Rally Governance
After a distribution, the algorithm locks until price retraces below the most recent accumulation base.
Only after re-arming can the next profit gate activate.
This prevents over-frequency selling and aligns with the public-domain Oracle behaviour.
4. Quiet-Bars & Threshold Cluster Control
A volatility-stabilisation layer prevents multiple exits from micro-fluctuations or transient spikes.
This ensures clean execution during fast markets and high volatility.
5. Flywheel Reinvestment
Distribution proceeds automatically return to the capital pool where permitted, creating a closed system of:
Entry sizing
Exit proceeds
Ledger-managed capital state
All sizing respects capital boundaries and does not breach dollar floors or overrides.
6. Automation Hooks and Integration
The script exposes:
3Commas-compatible JSON sizing
Entry/exit signalling via alertcondition()
Deterministic event reporting suitable for external automation
This allows consistent deployment across automated execution environments.
7. Visual Tooling
Optional displays include:
Live ACB line
Exit-guide markers
Capital, state, and ledger panels
Realized/unrealized outcome tracking based on internal logic only
Visual components do not influence execution rules.
Operating Notes
This model is rule-based, deterministic, and non-predictive.
It executes only according to the explicit thresholds, capital limits, and state transitions defined within the script.
No discretionary or forward-looking logic is included.

• No repaint: All signals are static and do not change after being plotted. This ensures the trader can trust every entry shown without worrying about indicators rewriting past values.
🔷 ENTRY CONDITIONS & RISK MANAGEMENT
Red Dragon Model 1 triggers buy (long) or sell (short) signals only when all configured conditions are satisfied. For example:
• Volume:
• The system only trades when current volume exceeds the volume moving average multiplied by a user-defined factor, indicating meaningful market participation.
• RSI:
• Confirms bullish bias when RSI crosses above its moving average, and bearish bias when crossing below.
• ADX:
• Enters long when +DI is above –DI with ADX above a defined threshold, indicating directional strength to the upside (and the opposite conditions for shorts).
• Other indicators (MACD, SAR, Ichimoku, Support/Resistance, etc.)
Each one must confirm the expected direction before a final signal is allowed.
When all bullish criteria are met simultaneously, the system enters Long; when all criteria indicate a bearish environment, the system enters Short.
In addition, the strategy uses fixed Take Profit and Stop Loss targets for risk control:
Currently: TP around 1.5% and SL around 2.0% per trade, ensuring consistent and transparent risk management on every position.

Larry Williams COT Analysis Enhanced [tradeviZion]Larry Williams COT Analysis Enhanced - Complete Description
📖 Introduction
Welcome to the Larry Williams COT Analysis Enhanced indicator. This comprehensive description explains every setting, feature, and capability of this advanced Commitments of Traders (COT) analysis tool.
This indicator implements Larry Williams' professional COT analysis methodology with enhanced features including statistical validation, combination analysis, and adaptive signal generation.
---

The script will automatically detect your symbol's CFTC code and asset type
Review the main COT analysis table (displayed by default)
Customize settings based on your trading style
Review the Trading Edge & Signals section for signal information
---
⚙️ Settings Groups Overview
The indicator is organized into 9 logical groups of settings:
1. Core COT Settings - Data source and report configuration
2. Analysis Parameters - Calculation methods and lookback periods
3. Signal Generation - Buy/sell signals and trend weighting
4. Plot Display Settings - Visual customization of chart lines

---
📋 Group 1: Core COT Settings
COT Report Type
Options: Legacy | Disaggregated | Financial
What it is: Selects the type of COT report data to analyze.
Legacy - Traditional COT report format. Recommended for most users. Uses "Commercial Positions" and "Noncommercial Positions" metrics. Shows Commercial, Non-Commercial, and Small Speculator positions in the classic format.
Commercials: "Commercial Positions"
Speculators: "Noncommercial Positions"
Small Specs: "Nonreportable Positions"
Disaggregated - Separates managed money from other speculators. Uses different metrics than Legacy format.
Commercials: "Producer Merchant Positions"
Speculators: "Managed Money Positions"
Small Specs: "Nonreportable Positions"
Important: When using Disaggregated report type, the table will still show "Non-Comm" as the label, but the data displayed is actually " Managed Money Positions " (hedge funds and CTAs). The underlying data changes based on your report type selection, even though the table label remains "Non-Comm" for consistency.
Where you'll see this data:
📊 Current Positions section - The "Non-Comm" row shows Managed Money long, short, and net positions
📊 Open Interest Analysis section - "Non-Comm" net changes reflect Managed Money position changes
📈 Analysis section - "Non-Comm" percentile and LW Index values are calculated from Managed Money positions
Chart plots - The blue "Non-Commercial" line shows Managed Money net positions
Useful when you want to analyze hedge funds (Managed Money) separately from other large speculators. The "Commercial" row will show " Producer Merchant Positions " instead of general "Commercial Positions".
Financial - Designed for financial instruments (currencies, bonds, stock indices). Uses financial-specific metrics.
Commercials: "Dealer Positions"
Speculators: "Leveraged Funds Positions"
Small Specs: "Nonreportable Positions"
Important: When using Financial report type, the table will still show "Commercial" and "Non-Comm" as labels, but the data displayed is actually " Dealer Positions " (commercials) and " Leveraged Funds Positions " (speculators). The underlying data changes based on your report type selection.
Where you'll see this data:
📊 Current Positions section - "Commercial" row shows Dealer long/short/net, "Non-Comm" row shows Leveraged Funds positions
📊 Open Interest Analysis section - Net changes reflect Dealer and Leveraged Funds position changes
📈 Analysis section - Percentile and LW Index values are calculated from Dealer and Leveraged Funds positions
Chart plots - Lines show Dealer and Leveraged Funds net positions
Use this for currency futures, bond futures, and stock index futures.
Trading Use: Most traders use Legacy as it provides the most comprehensive view and works with all asset types. Switch to Disaggregated if you want to analyze managed money positions separately. Use Financial specifically for financial instruments (currencies, bonds, stock indices).
---
Include Options Data
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Toggles whether to include options positions in addition to futures positions.
Trading Use: Larry Williams observed no significant difference in COT analysis when including options data. Keep this disabled unless you specifically need options data. Most traders leave it off for cleaner analysis.
---
Auto-detect CFTC Code
Default: On (true)
What it is: Automatically finds the correct CFTC code for your symbol.
Trading Use: Keep this enabled unless you need a specific CFTC code. The script automatically detects codes for:
- Currency futures: CME:6E1! , CME:6B1! , CME:6J1!
- Stock index futures: CME_MINI:ES1! , CBOT_MINI:YM1! , CME_MINI:NQ1!
- Commodities: NYMEX:CL1! , COMEX:GC1! , CBOT:ZC1!
- And many more
Only disable if you're analyzing a symbol that requires a specific CFTC code not in the auto-detection database.
---
Manual CFTC Code
Default: Empty
What it is: Enter a specific CFTC code manually (e.g. for E-mini S&P 500). "13874+"
Trading Use: Only used when Auto-detect CFTC Code is disabled. Most users never need this setting.
---
📊 Group 2: Analysis Parameters
Display Mode
Options: COT Report | COT Index | COT Proximity Index
What it is: Controls what data is displayed on the chart and in the table.
COT Report - Shows raw position data (Long, Short, Net positions) plus analysis. Best for detailed analysis. Displays Commercial, Non-Commercial, Small Speculator, and Open Interest lines.
COT Index - Shows index values based on your selected Analysis Method (Percentile or LW Index). Best for quick sentiment analysis. Displays index lines for Commercial, Non-Commercial, Small Speculator, and Open Interest. Percentile can exceed 0-100% for extremes, LW Index stays 0-100%.
Percentile can exceed 0-100% for extremes
LW Index stays 0-100%
COT Proximity Index - Shows a price-based proxy indicator. Useful when COT data is delayed or unavailable. Calculates sentiment based on price action patterns.
Trading Use:
- Use COT Report for comprehensive analysis
- Use COT Index when you want to focus on extreme sentiment levels
- Use COT Proximity Index as a backup when COT data is delayed or unavailable.
---
Analysis Method
Options: Percentile | LW Index
What it is: Selects the calculation method for position rankings.
Percentile - Professional approach. Excludes current bar from range calculation. Can show extremes (>100% or <0%) when today's value breaks historical range. More sensitive to recent extremes.
LW Index - Original Larry Williams method. Includes current bar in range, always 0-100%. Traditional approach.
Trading Use:
Percentile - Better for catching new extremes and recent market shifts
LW Index - Better for traditional Larry Williams analysis
Most traders prefer Percentile for its ability to show when positions break historical ranges.
---
Lookback Mode
Options: Auto | Manual
What it is: Controls how the historical lookback period is determined.
Auto - Automatically sets lookback period based on detected asset type
Manual - Choose your own lookback period
Trading Use: Use Auto unless you have a specific reason to customize. The script automatically sets optimal periods:
Currencies: 26 weeks
Metals: 13 weeks
Grains: 26 weeks
Stocks/Indices: 13 weeks
Bonds: 52 weeks
Energies: 13 weeks
---
Manual Lookback Period
Options: 1 Month | 3 Months | 6 Months | 1 Year | 3 Years | Asset-specific presets | Manual
What it is: How far back to look for historical comparison. Only used when Lookback Mode is set to Manual .
---
Manual Lookback Weeks
Default: 18 weeks | Range: 1-500
What it is: Exact number of weeks to look back. Only used when Manual Lookback Period is set to Manual .
Trading Use: Set a custom period if you want precise control. 18 weeks = approximately one quarter (3 months).
---
🎯 Group 3: Signal Generation
Show Signal Arrows
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Displays buy/sell arrows on the chart when extreme positions are detected.
Trading Use: Enable to get visual alerts for signals. Signals use strict multi-factor conditions requiring:
- Commercial extreme positioning
- Speculator positioning alignment
- Open Interest confirmation
- Trend consistency
- And more...
---
Show Background Colors
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Colors the chart background during extreme market conditions.
Trading Use: Enable for visual market state awareness:
- Strong signals = Darker background colors
- Moderate signals = Lighter background colors
- Green background = Bullish extreme
- Red background = Bearish extreme
Useful for quick visual assessment of market conditions.
---
Use Price Trend Weighting
Default: On (true)
What it is: Weights signals based on price trend alignment.
How it works:
Uptrend + Commercials long = Stronger bullish signal
Downtrend + Commercials short = Stronger bearish signal
Counter-trend signals = Harder to trigger (more conservative)
Trading Use: Keep enabled for more reliable signals. Commercials aligned with price trend are historically more accurate.
This feature makes signals easier to trigger when commercials align with the trend and harder when they're counter-trend.
---
Trend MA Period
Default: 40 | Range: 1-200
What it is: Moving average period for price trend detection.
How it works:
Price above MA with the MA rising = Uptrend
Price below MA with the MA declining = Downtrend
---
📈 Group 4: Plot Display Settings
Commercial Line Settings
Default Color: Red | Default Width: 2
What it is: Controls the Commercial traders net position line appearance.
Trading Use: Commercials are considered "smart money." Watch for:
Extreme long positions (high index ≥74%) = Heavy buyers = BULLISH signal
Extreme short positions (low index ≤26%) = Heavy sellers = BEARISH signal
Red is traditional for commercials. When Commercials are heavy buyers (high index), it's a bullish signal. When they're heavy sellers (low index), it's a bearish signal.
---
Non-Commercial Line Settings
Default Color: Blue | Default Width: 2
What it is: Controls the Non-Commercial (Large Speculators) net position line appearance.
Trading Use: Large speculators are often trend-followers. Watch for:
Extreme long = Potential top (contrarian sell signal)
Extreme short = Potential bottom (contrarian buy signal)
They're often wrong at extremes - use as contrarian indicator.
---
Small Speculator Line Settings
Default Color: Green | Default Width: 2
What it is: Controls the Small Speculators net position line appearance.
Trading Use: Small specs are typically wrong at extremes:
Extreme long = Potential top (sell signal)
Extreme short = Potential bottom (buy signal)
Exception: In Meats markets, small specs are accurate (like commercials).
---
Small Speculator Multiplier
Default: 5.0x | Range: 0.1-20.0
What it is: Multiplies Small Speculator PLOTTED values for visual comparison.
Important: This only affects the visual plot line, NOT calculations or table values. Raw values used in all calculations remain unchanged.
Trading Use: Small spec positions are often much smaller than commercials. Use multiplier (default 5.0x) to scale the line for easier visual comparison.
---
Open Interest Line Settings
Default Color: Black | Default Width: 1
What it is: Controls the Open Interest line appearance.
Trading Use: Open Interest shows market participation:
Rising OI = New money entering (confirms trend)
Falling OI = Money leaving (potential reversal)
Watch WHO is driving OI changes - This is critical
---
Scale Open Interest
Default: On (true)
What it is: Scales Open Interest values to fit chart range.
Important: Only affects plotted lines, not table values. Scaling changes based on lookback period:
- Shorter lookback = More compressed range
- Longer lookback = Wider range
Trading Use: Keep enabled for better visual comparison. Disable if you want absolute OI values.
---
Show Reference Lines
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Toggles the display of horizontal reference lines at 0%, 50%, and 100% levels on the chart.
What it shows:
Zero Line (0%) - Dotted gray line at 0% level
Midline (50%) - Solid gray line at 50% level
100 Line (100%) - Dotted gray line at 100% level
Trading Use: Enable when you want visual reference points for:
0% = Extreme bearish positioning
50% = Neutral/middle range
100% = Extreme bullish positioning
---
🔄 Group 5: Smoothing Settings
Smoothing Method
Options: None | SMA | EMA | WMA | RMA
What it is: Selects the moving average type for smoothing data.
None - Use raw data (no smoothing)
SMA - Simple Moving Average (equal weight to all periods)
EMA - Exponential Moving Average (more weight to recent data)
WMA - Weighted Moving Average (linear weighting)
RMA - Relative Moving Average (Wilder's smoothing)
Trading Use:
None - Best for catching extremes quickly
SMA - Most common, balanced smoothing
EMA - More responsive to recent changes
WMA/RMA - Advanced smoothing methods
Smoothing reduces noise but may delay signal detection. Use None for most responsive signals.
---
Smoothing Period
Default: 4 | Range: 2-20
What it is: Number of periods for the moving average smoothing.
Trading Use:
Shorter periods (2-5) = Less smoothing, more responsive
Longer periods (10-20) = More smoothing, less noise
Default 4 = Good balance
Only used when Smoothing Method is not None.
---
Smooth COT Report Plots
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Applies smoothing to COT Report plotted lines (Commercial, Non-Commercial, Small Speculators, Open Interest).
Trading Use: Enable if you want smoother chart lines. Note: Smoothing affects visual display but calculations use raw data unless Smooth COT Index Plots is also enabled.
---
Smooth COT Index Plots
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Applies smoothing to COT Index plotted lines.
Trading Use: Enable if you want smoother index lines. Important : When enabled, smoothed values are used in table displays and signal calculations. This affects the "user-facing" index values shown in the table and used for signals.
---
📊 Group 6: COT Proximity Index Settings
Proximity Length Mode
Options: Auto | Manual
What it is: Controls how the proximity index calculation period is determined.
Auto - Calculates length based on ZigZag patterns (dynamic)
Manual - Uses fixed length setting
Trading Use: Use Auto for adaptive calculation. Use Manual if you want consistent period regardless of market conditions.
---
Manual Proximity Length
Default: 8 bars | Range: 1+
What it is: Fixed number of bars for COT Proximity Index calculation. Only used when Proximity Length Mode is Manual .
Trading Use: Set based on your timeframe. 8 bars works well for weekly chart.
---
Heavy Buyers Level
Default: 74% | Range: 50-100
What it is: COT Index level above which commercials are considered heavy buyers (extreme long positioning).
Trading Use: This threshold is used for:
- Signal generation
- Market state calculation
- Entry level recommendations

Default: 26% | Range: 0-50
What it is: COT Index level below which commercials are considered heavy sellers (extreme short positioning).
Trading Use: This threshold is used for:
- Signal generation
- Market state calculation
- Entry level recommendations
Default 26% means commercials are "heavy sellers" when LW Index ≤ 26%.
---
ZigZag Deviation
Default: 1.0% | Range: 1-100.0
What it is: Minimum price change (%) required to create a new ZigZag pivot point.
Trading Use:
Smaller values = More sensitive, more pivots
Larger values = Less sensitive, fewer pivots
Used for Auto proximity length calculation.
---
ZigZag Depth
Default: 1 | Range: 1+
What it is: Minimum number of bars between pivot points.
Trading Use: Higher values filter out minor pivots. Default 1 captures all significant pivots.

📋 Understanding Each Table Section
This section explains what each part of the main table means and how to use it for trading decisions.
⚙️ Settings Section
Report Type - Shows which COT report format you're using (Legacy, Disaggregated, or Financial). Verify this matches your asset type.
Options - Indicates if options data is included ("Included") or excluded ("Excluded"). Most traders exclude options for cleaner analysis.
CFTC Code - Unique identifier for your futures contract. Shows "Auto" when automatically detected, or displays the manual code if set.
Trading Use: Always verify your CFTC code is correct. Wrong code = wrong data = wrong signals.
---
📊 Current Positions Section
Shows the actual position sizes for each trader group.
What Each Column Means:
Long - Total long contracts held by this group
Short - Total short contracts held by this group
Net - Net position (Long - Short). This is the key number.
How to Interpret:
Commercial Net Position:
- Negative (Net Short) = Commercials expect prices to fall
- Positive (Net Long) = Commercials expect prices to rise
- Commercials are "smart money" - their positioning often precedes major moves
Non-Commercial Net Position:
- Positive (Net Long) = Large speculators bullish
- Negative (Net Short) = Large speculators bearish
- Often trend-followers, can be caught at extremes
Small Spec Net Position:
- Positive (Net Long) = Small traders bullish
- Negative (Net Short) = Small traders bearish
- Often contrarian indicator - wrong at extremes
Trading Edge: Watch for extremes in Commercial net positions. When Commercials are heavy buyers (high index ≥74%), it's a bullish signal. When they're heavy sellers (low index ≤26%), it's a bearish signal.
---
📊 Open Interest Analysis Section
Open Interest - Total number of outstanding contracts. Shows market participation level.
Change - Week-over-week change in Open Interest. Rising OI = new money entering, Falling OI = money leaving.
Net Changes - Shows which group is driving Open Interest changes. This is Larry Williams' most important insight.
🎯 Critical Question: Who is Driving OI Changes?
EXTREMELY BULLISH SIGNAL (Very Rare - Pay Close Attention):
- Commercials driving OI increase + Commercials raising positions + Uptrend market
- Meaning: Smart money (commercials) accumulating long positions while market is rising
- Action: Extremely bullish - very rare setup, pay close attention to this signal
- This is the strongest bullish signal possible
BULLISH SIGNAL (Strong Buy):
- Commercials driving OI increase + Commercials net long
- Meaning: Smart money accumulating long positions
- Action: Strong bullish setup
BEARISH SIGNAL (Strong Sell - Market Topping):
- Commercials exiting + OI increasing due to Small Specs + Non-Commercials
- Meaning: Smart money leaving while speculative money entering
- Action: Market top forming - most likely scenario for bearish reversal
- This indicates speculative excess and potential market top
BEARISH SIGNAL (Speculative Excess):
- Small Specs + Non-Commercials driving OI increase + They are net long
- Meaning: Speculative excess, "dumb money" driving market
- Action: Bearish reversal likely
Trading Use:
- Rising OI = New money entering (confirms trend)
- Falling OI = Money leaving (potential reversal)
- Watch WHO is driving OI changes - This is critical
- When Commercials drive OI increases while raising positions in an uptrend = Extremely bullish and very rare - pay attention
- When Commercials exit while OI increases due to Small Specs and Non-Commercials = Market topping signal
Concentration - Shows how much of the market is controlled by the largest traders:
- Top 4 - Four largest traders' share of total OI
- Top 8 - Eight largest traders' share of total OI
Trading Use: High concentration (>30%) means fewer dominant players, potential for volatility. Low concentration means more distributed positions, healthier market.

📋 Understanding Compact Mode Fields
The Compact mode provides essential information for quick trading decisions. Here's what each field means:
State
Shows the overall market sentiment based on combined COT analysis.
Possible Values:
- STRONG BULLISH - Multiple factors aligned bullish, strong buy signal
- MODERATE BULLISH - Several bullish factors, moderate buy signal
- LEANING BULLISH - Slight bullish bias, watch for confirmation
- NEUTRAL - Mixed signals, trade with existing trend
- LEANING BEARISH - Slight bearish bias, watch for confirmation
- MODERATE BEARISH - Several bearish factors, moderate sell signal
- STRONG BEARISH - Multiple factors aligned bearish, strong sell signal
Trading Use: Start your analysis here. Strong signals (STRONG BULLISH/BEARISH) indicate higher confidence setups. Neutral means trade with price trend.
---
Entry
Your actionable trading signal based on Commercial positioning.
Possible Values:
- LONG - Commercials are heavy buyers (≥Heavy Buyers Level), bullish signal
- SHORT - Commercials are heavy sellers (≤Heavy Sellers Level), bearish signal
- Wait - Commercials neutral, no clear signal
Trading Use: This is your go/no-go decision point. Only take trades when Entry shows LONG or SHORT. When Entry = Wait, stay on sidelines until clearer signal develops.
---
Comm Index
Commercial LW Index percentage showing where Commercial net position ranks historically.
Range: 0% to 100%
- 0-26% = Commercials heavy sellers (bearish positioning)
- 27-73% = Commercials neutral (no extreme)
- 74-100% = Commercials heavy buyers (bullish positioning)
Trading Use: Commercial extremes are most reliable. Values ≥74% (heavy buyers/extreme long) = BULLISH signal. Values ≤26% (heavy sellers/extreme short) = BEARISH signal. When Commercials are heavy buyers, it indicates bullish sentiment. When they're heavy sellers, it indicates bearish sentiment.
---
OI Status
Open Interest condition showing market participation level and trend.
Format: Status (Percentile %)
Examples:
- High (100.0%) - OI at extreme high, strong participation
- Moderate (50.0%) - OI at average level
- Low (10.0%) - OI at extreme low, weak participation
Trend Indicators:
- Rising - OI increasing (new money entering)
- Falling - OI decreasing (money leaving)
- Stable - OI unchanged
Trading Use: High OI with rising trend = strong market participation, confirms directional moves. Falling OI = watch for potential reversals. Low OI = reduced participation, potential for volatility.
---
Best Setup
Shows which combination of factors has the highest historical accuracy.
Format: Combination Name (Accuracy %)
Examples:
- Commercials Alone (75.3%) - Commercial positioning only
- Commercials + Speculators (68.2%) - Commercials and specs aligned
- Commercials + Open Interest (72.1%) - Commercials with OI confirmation
- Commercials + Speculators + OI (82.1%) - All factors aligned (strongest)
Trading Use: Higher accuracy values indicate signals with higher historical accuracy. When Best Setup shows "Commercials + Speculators + OI" with high accuracy, it indicates a combination with strong historical performance.
---
Trend
13-week cumulative trend direction based on net position changes.
Possible Values:
- Bullish - Net positions trending bullish over 13 weeks
- Bearish - Net positions trending bearish over 13 weeks
- Mixed - No clear directional trend
Trading Use: Align Entry signals with Trend for higher accuracy. When Entry = LONG and Trend = Bullish, signal is stronger. When Entry = LONG but Trend = Bearish, wait for price confirmation before entering. Counter-trend signals require more confirmation.

💡 Key Trading Concepts
Market State Interpretation
STRONG BULLISH - Multiple factors aligned bullish. Strong buy signal.
MODERATE BULLISH - Several bullish factors. Moderate buy signal.
LEANING BULLISH - Slight bullish bias. Watch for confirmation.
NEUTRAL - Mixed signals. Trade with existing trend.
LEANING BEARISH - Slight bearish bias. Watch for confirmation.
MODERATE BEARISH - Several bearish factors. Moderate sell signal.
STRONG BEARISH - Multiple factors aligned bearish. Strong sell signal.
---
Entry Level Signals
LONG - Commercials are heavy buyers (≥Heavy Buyers Level). Bullish signal.
SHORT - Commercials are heavy sellers (≤Heavy Sellers Level). Bearish signal.
Wait - Commercials neutral. No clear signal.
When Commercials are heavy buyers (high index), it indicates bullish sentiment. When they're heavy sellers (low index), it indicates bearish sentiment.
---
Best Setup Interpretation
The Best Setup shows the historically highest accuracy combination:
Commercials Alone - Commercial positioning is most reliable
Commercials + Speculators - Both groups aligned
Commercials + Open Interest - Commercials + OI confirmation
Commercials + Speculators + OI - All factors aligned (strongest)
Higher accuracy = More reliable signal. Use this to prioritize which signals to follow.
---
Open Interest Analysis
Critical Question: Who is driving Open Interest changes?
EXTREMELY BULLISH (Very Rare):
Commercials driving OI increase + Commercials raising positions + Uptrend = EXTREMELY BULLISH
This is very rare - pay close attention when this occurs
STRONG BULLISH:
Commercials driving OI increase + Commercials long = STRONG BULLISH
BEARISH (Market Topping):
Commercials exiting + OI increasing due to Small Specs + Non-Commercials = BEARISH (market topping)
Most likely scenario for bearish reversal - speculative excess
BEARISH (Speculative Excess):
Speculators driving OI increase + Speculators long = BEARISH (speculative excess)
TREND CONFIRMATION:
Rising OI = Confirms trend (new money entering)
Falling OI = Potential reversal (money leaving)
This is one of Larry Williams' most important insights. When Commercials drive OI increases while raising positions in an uptrend, it's extremely bullish and very rare - pay attention. When Commercials exit while Small Specs and Non-Commercials drive OI increases, the market is likely topping.

Opening Prices by RiseOpening Prices by Rise - Multi-Timeframe Key Level Tracker
This comprehensive indicator identifies and displays critical opening price levels across multiple timeframes and customizable time-based intervals, providing traders with essential reference points for intraday and swing trading strategies.
The indicator systematically tracks opening prices from various market sessions and timeframe candles, creating persistent horizontal reference levels that extend forward on the chart. These levels represent institutional positioning points and psychological price zones where significant market reactions frequently occur.
Following level establishment, the indicator provides extensive visualization tools including customizable line styles, colors, widths, and optional vertical session markers. Advanced configuration options allow traders to display historical levels from previous trading days, implement custom time-based levels, and track higher timeframe candle opens—all within a single, streamlined interface.
This powerful solution delivers unmatched functionality for traders seeking to identify and monitor key opening price levels across multiple dimensions. Unlike basic session markers that display only current day levels, this indicator combines three distinct tracking systems—pre-configured key times, dynamic higher timeframe candle opens, and fully customizable time-based levels—into one cohesive tool. With its robust customization engine, historical multi-day tracking, and industry-leading custom level creation system, it provides capabilities that dramatically surpass conventional opening price indicators by offering complete control over every visual and functional aspect.
What are Opening Price Levels?
Opening prices represent the first traded price at the beginning of a specific time period. These levels are critical reference points because they often act as support or resistance zones throughout the trading session. The indicator tracks three primary categories:
Key Time-Based Opens
Pre-configured opening prices at strategically important times:
Daily Open -> The first price when the trading day begins
Midnight Open (00:00) -> Session start in 24-hour markets
New York Open (09:30) -> Major market session beginning
Higher Timeframe Candle Opens
Opening prices from larger timeframe candles that provide multi-timeframe context:
Monthly Open -> Beginning of each monthly candle
Weekly Open -> Start of each weekly period
4-Hour Open -> Intraday structural reference points
Each timeframe level can display multiple historical opens, allowing traders to see how price interacts with previous period opening levels.
Custom Time Levels
This indicator features a revolutionary custom level system that allows users to define unlimited time-based opening prices with complete control over styling and display options. Unlike other indicators with rigid preset times, this text-area based system provides unparalleled flexibility—simply add new levels using an intuitive comma-separated format. Each custom level has independent control over display type, line style, color, and width, making this the most versatile opening price tracking system available.
Historical Display
The indicator provides optional historical tracking, displaying opening price levels from previous trading days. This feature is invaluable for identifying recurring support/resistance zones and understanding how current price action relates to prior session opens. Most competing indicators only show current day levels, limiting their analytical value.
What Makes This Indicator Different?
Unified Multi-System Approach -> Combines time-based, candle-based, and custom levels in one indicator instead of requiring multiple tools
Advanced Historical Tracking -> Display previous days of opening levels, unlike competitors limited to current day only
Intelligent Timeframe Detection -> Automatically prevents display issues on incompatible chart timeframes for clean visualization
Industry-Leading Custom System -> Text-area based custom level creation with full parameter control per level—unmatched flexibility
Dual Display Options -> Every level can show horizontal price lines, vertical time markers, or both simultaneously
Complete Style Control -> Individual color, style, width, and text formatting for each level type
Multi-Timeframe Candle Tracking -> Display multiple previous opens from any timeframe (show last 1-5 occurrences)
Professional Label System -> Customizable text display with font, size, format, and alignment options
Smart Extension Logic -> Configurable forward extension with automatic endpoint detection
Dual Display Mode
Each opening level can be displayed as:
Horizontal price line showing the opening level
Vertical time marker indicating when the open occurred
Both simultaneously for complete context

Manus Composite 12-Indicator HistogramOf course, here is a concise English description for the indicator:
---
This indicator measures market trend strength by creating a composite score from 12 technical indicators. It combines 5 Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and 7 MACD-style EMA crossovers, covering short, medium, and long-term periods.
Each of the 12 indicators contributes a weight of +8.33% for a bullish signal or -8.33% for a bearish signal. The total score, ranging from -100% (unanimously bearish) to +100% (unanimously bullish), is plotted as a histogram. This provides a comprehensive, at-a-glance view of the overall market sentiment.
Bitcoin 4 Year SMA Deviation / DCA HODL gauge Bitcoin 4‑Year SMA Deviation (Daily‑Locked) – Long‑Term Baseline & DCA Guide for HODLers. Bitcoin’s price swings wildly in the short term, but over several years it tends to settle around a smoother trend. A 4‑year simple moving average (SMA) captures that long‑term trajectory, filtering out daily noise, and giving a reliable “baseline” that reflects Bitcoin’s underlying growth path.
Historical consistency: Most of Bitcoin’s major cycles have respected the 4‑year SMA, making it a trustworthy yardstick for anyone who holds the asset for the long term.
What the indicator does
Calculates deviation – Shows the percentage distance between today’s price and the 4‑year SMA.
Displays a histogram – Visualizes the deviation in real‑time, colour‑coded to highlight how far the price sits above or below the baseline.
Daily‑locked logic – All calculations are performed on daily candles, so the signal looks the same whether you view the chart on a 1‑minute, 4‑hour, or weekly timeframe.
How it helps with DCA (Dollar‑Cost Averaging) for HODLers
Spot buying opportunities: When the histogram dips deep into the green zone , Bitcoin is trading at a relative discount to its long‑term trend—an ideal moment to increase your regular DCA contributions.
Guard against over‑buying: A strong positive deviation indicates a "red zone" , the market is stretched above its historic baseline, suggesting a smaller or paused DCA pace.
Quantify confidence: The exact percentage off the SMA gives you a concrete metric to size each DCA tranche, turning gut feeling into a data‑driven plan.
Bottom line for HODLers
Treat the 4‑year SMA as your long‑term compass for Bitcoin. This indicator tells you how far the current price has drifted from that compass, allowing you to decide how aggressively—or conservatively—to execute your DCA strategy. Use it alongside your personal risk tolerance and holding horizon to fine‑tune the cadence and size of your regular Bitcoin purchases. When in doubt, zoom out!
