QuantLabs Multi Asset Similarity Matrix [V3 Final]The Market is a graph. See the flows:
The QuantLabs MASM is not a standard correlation table. It is an Alpha-Grade Scanner architected to reveal the hidden "hydraulic" relationships between global macro assets in real-time.
Rebuilt from the ground up for Version 3, this engine pushes the absolute limits of the Pine Script™ runtime. It utilizes a proprietary Logarithmic Math Engine, Symmetric Compute Optimization, and a futuristic "Ghost Mode" interface to deliver a 15x15 real-time correlation matrix with zero lag.
Under the Hood: The Quant Architecture
We stripped away standard libraries to build a lean, high-performance engine designed for institutional-grade accuracy.
1. Alpha Math Engine (Logarithmic Returns) Most tools calculate correlation based on Price, which generates spurious signals (e.g., "Everything is correlated in a bull run").
The Solution: Our engine computes Logarithmic Returns (log(close /close )) by default. This measures the correlation of change (Velocity & Vector), not price levels.
The Result: A mathematically rigorous view of statistical relationships that filters out the noise of general market drift.
Dual-Core: Toggle seamlessly between "Alpha Mode" (Log Returns) for verified stats and "Visual Mode" (Price) for trend alignment.
Calculation Modes: Pearson (Standard), Euclidean (Distance), Cosine (Vector), Manhattan (Grid).
2. Symmetric Compute Optimization Calculating a 15x15 matrix requires evaluating 225 unique relationships per bar, which often crashes memory limits.
The Fix: The V3 Engine utilizes Symmetric Logic, recognizing that Correlation(A, B) == Correlation(B, A).
The Gain: By computing only the lower triangle of the matrix and mirroring pointers to the upper triangle, we reduced computational load by 50%, ensuring a lightning-fast data feed even on lower timeframes.
3. Context-Aware "Ghost Mode" The UI is designed for professional traders who need focus, not clutter.
Smart Detection: The matrix automatically detects your current chart's Ticker ID. If you are trading QQQ, the matrix will visually highlight the Nas100 row and column, making them opaque and bright while dimming the rest.
Dynamic Transparency: Irrelevant data ("Noise" < 0.3 correlation) fades into the background. Only significant "Alpha Signals" (> 0.7) glow with full Neon Saturation.
Key Features
Dominant Flow Scanner: The matrix scans all 105 unique pairs every tick and prints the #1 Strongest Correlation at the bottom of the pane (e.g., DOMINANT FLOW: Bitcoin ↔ Nas100 ).
Streak Counter: A "Stubbornness" metric that tracks how many consecutive days a strong correlation has persisted. Instantly identify if a move is a "flash event" or a "structural trend."
Neon Palette: Proprietary color mapping using Electric Blue (+1.0) for lockstep correlation and Deep Red (-1.0) for inverse hedging.
Usage Guide
Placement: Best viewed in a bottom pane (Footer).
Assets: Pre-loaded with the Essential 15 Macro Drivers (Indices, BTC, Gold, Oil, Rates, FX, Key Sectors). Fully editable via settings (Ticker|Name).
Reading the Grid:
🔵 Bright Blue: Assets moving in lockstep (Risk-On).
🔴 Bright Red: Assets moving perfectly opposite (Hedge/Risk-Off).
⚫ Faded/Black: No statistical relationship (Decoupled).
Key Improvements Made:
Formatting: Added clear bullet points and bolding to make it scannable.
Clarity: Clarified the "Logarithmic Returns" section to explain why it matters (Velocity vs. Price Levels).
Tone: Maintained the "high-tech/quant" vibe but removed slightly clunky phrases like "spurious signals" (unless you prefer that academic tone, in which case I left it in as it fits the persona).
Structure: Grouped the "Modes" under the Math Engine for better logic.

Trend Analysis
Goldilocks Regime FilterGoldilocks Regime Filter is a lightweight market condition confirmation indicator engineered specifically for 1-minute Gold scalping.
Rather than generating trade signals, this tool focuses on identifying the current market regime—helping traders quickly determine whether price action is behaving in a directional (trending) or rotational (ranging) manner. This allows traders to align their existing entry strategies with appropriate market conditions and avoid applying momentum tactics in unfavorable environments.
The indicator synthesizes multiple aspects of market behavior—trend strength, volatility behavior, and price efficiency—into a simple, intuitive top-right table with a clear regime label and confidence reading. This makes it easy to assess market state at a glance without adding clutter to the chart.
Key Features
Designed specifically for 1-minute Gold charts
Clear Trending / Ranging / Neutral regime classification
Confidence score to gauge strength of the current condition
Non-repainting, confirmation-only logic
Minimalist table display that stays out of the way
Works alongside any strategy or discretionary approach
Intended Use
This indicator is designed to be used as a confirmation filter, not a standalone trading system. It is best applied to:
Confirm momentum-based setups during directional conditions
Avoid overtrading during low-efficiency, rotational markets
Improve discipline and context during fast intraday sessions
Goldilocks Regime Filter does not provide buy or sell signals and should be used in conjunction with proper risk management and a defined trading plan.
50-Point Psych Levels (Multiples of 50)50-Point Psychological Levels (Multiples of 50)
This indicator plots static psychological price levels at fixed point intervals (default every 50 points) across the chart. These levels are commonly watched by traders as natural areas of reaction, balance, support, and resistance, especially on index futures such as NQ, ES, YM, and RTY.
The script automatically centers the levels around the current market price and draws them across a configurable range above and below price. All levels extend across the entire chart and are drawn once only, keeping the display clean and preventing redraw lag.
Key Features
Plots horizontal levels at fixed point spacing (default: 50 points)
Automatically anchors around the latest price
Configurable range above and below price
Customizable line color, width, and style
Lightweight, non-repainting, static reference levels
Best Use Cases
Identifying psychological support and resistance
Confluence with VWAP, EMA structure, ORB levels, and volume
Futures trading (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), indexes, and large-tick instruments

Universe_Super MA [MTF & Multi-Type]**Overview**
"Universe_Super MA" is a comprehensive trend analysis tool designed to overcome indicator limits. Instead of adding 4 separate moving averages, this script allows you to monitor 4 distinct Moving Averages within a single indicator slot.
It features full **Multi-Timeframe (MTF)** capabilities, meaning you can view higher timeframe trends (e.g., Daily 200 SMA) while trading on lower timeframes (e.g., 15-minute chart).
**Default Configuration (Institutional Setup)**
The indicator comes pre-loaded with a powerful institutional trend setup:
1. **50 Period (Green):** Short-term trend and dynamic support.
2. **99 Period (Orange):** Medium-term trend filter.
3. **200 Period (Red):** The classic institutional dividing line between Bull and Bear markets.
4. **389 Period (Blue):** A long-term "Deep Trend" baseline used to identify major market cycles and heavy support/resistance levels.
**Key Features**
* **fully Customizable:** You can change the Length, Color, and Width of each line.
* **Multi-Timeframe (MTF):** Select any timeframe for any MA. (e.g., Keep MA1 on the "Chart" timeframe, but lock MA4 to the "Daily" timeframe).
* **6 MA Types:** Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA (Hull), RMA, and VWMA for each line independently.
* **Clean Interface:** Toggle any line On/Off via settings without removing the indicator.
**Usage & Interpretation**
* **Trend Identification:** The 200 (Red) and 389 (Blue) lines are designed to visualize the long-term market bias. In technical analysis, price action sustaining above these levels is generally considered a bullish context, while price below suggests a bearish context.
* **Crossover Monitoring:** The script facilitates the observation of interactions between short-term and long-term averages (e.g., the 50 crossing the 200), allowing users to easily spot common technical patterns like the "Golden Cross".
* **Dynamic Levels:** The 99 and 200-period lines act as dynamic levels that may align with technical support or resistance zones during market retracements.
**Settings**
* **Timeframe:** Leave empty to use the current chart's timeframe, or select a specific one (e.g., "1D" or "4H").
* **Type:** Select your preferred calculation method (SMA is default).
**Disclaimer**
This tool is for educational purposes and trend visualization only. Always manage your risk.

Liquidity Levels Pro Tool - thewallranka
Liquidity Levels Pro Tool is a market-structure and liquidity-mapping indicator designed to help discretionary futures and index traders identify statistically relevant price levels where reactions, continuations, or liquidity sweeps are more likely to occur.
This script is a decision-support tool, not a signal generator. It does not issue buy/sell alerts or predict future price movement. Instead, it organizes and scores liquidity information so traders can make their own contextual decisions.
What this indicator does
The script continuously detects and maintains liquidity zones derived from price pivots, then evaluates those zones using multiple structural and contextual factors:
Repeated price interaction (touches)
Freshness (time since last interaction)
Confluence with key reference levels
Reaction behavior after contact
Session relevance (RTH vs overnight)
Market regime (trend vs mean reversion)
Time-of-day effects (open, midday, power hour)
Only the most relevant zones—based on a dynamic scoring system—are displayed to reduce chart clutter and focus attention on levels that have historically mattered.
Core components
1. Liquidity Zones
Zones are built from pivot highs and lows and expanded into areas using a configurable tick-based padding. Nearby zones are merged to avoid redundancy.
Each zone is continuously evaluated and assigned a score (0–100) reflecting its relative importance.
2. Zone Scoring (No Lookahead)
Zone scores are based on:
Number of confirmed interactions
Recency of the last touch
Confluence with prior day/week levels, VWAP, and Opening Range
Reaction quality after touches (speed and follow-through)
Session alignment (zones that “work” in the current session are favored)
Penalties after liquidity sweeps
Zones are not forward-looking and do not rely on future data.
3. Context Engine
The script classifies the current environment using VWAP slope and distance:
Trend (up or down)
Mean reversion
Mixed/transition
Time-of-day context (Open, Midday, Power Hour) is also tracked internally and influences zone scoring.
This context is displayed in the HUD to support situational awareness, not automated decisions.
4. Liquidity Sweeps
Optional sweep detection highlights situations where price trades beyond a zone and closes back inside, indicating potential stop runs or failed breakouts.
Sweeps are rate-limited and applied conservatively to avoid visual noise.
5. Trade Planning Levels (Optional)
When enabled, the script highlights the nearest high-quality liquidity level above and below price based on score thresholds.
These are intended as reference targets, not trade entries or exits.
HUD (Heads-Up Display)
The on-chart HUD summarizes:
Key reference levels (prior day/week, Opening Range)
Nearest strong liquidity above/below price
Market regime and time-of-day context
Distance to levels (ticks or points)
The HUD is fully optional, positionable, and includes resizable modes (Small / Medium / Large) to fit different chart layouts.
How to use this tool
This indicator is best used as part of a discretionary trading process, for example:
Identifying areas where price is more likely to react or pause
Framing trades around higher-quality structure instead of arbitrary levels
Filtering setups based on session and regime context
Managing expectations near known liquidity rather than chasing price
It is intentionally designed not to provide trade signals.
Limitations and important notes
This script does not predict outcomes or guarantee reactions
High-scoring zones can still fail
Liquidity behavior is context-dependent and probabilistic
No performance claims or backtested results are provided
The indicator should not be used in isolation
Past behavior does not imply future results.
Chart and usage notes
The script is intended for standard time-based charts
Recommended for liquid futures and index products
Use a clean chart for clarity when publishing or sharing
No external indicators are required
Final note
Liquidity Levels Pro (Tool) — v6 is designed to organize complex market structure into a clear, readable framework, allowing traders to focus on execution and risk management rather than raw level detection.
This script reflects an analytical approach to intraday liquidity and structure, not an automated trading system.

- All base signal criteria met
- Higher timeframe confirms the trend direction
- HTF RSI and slope alignment
- These are your primary trade signals
### Entry Conditions
#### Long Entry (🟢 HC L)
1. Fast EMA > Slow EMA (uptrend)
2. Previous candle closed between the EMAs (pullback)
3. Current candle crosses above and closes above Fast EMA (reclaim)
4. RSI between 40-60 (swing zone)
5. **HTF Confirmation**: Daily/4H price above EMA50, RSI > 50, positive slope
6. Optional: Volume > 1.5x 20-bar average
#### Short Entry (🔻 HC S)
1. Fast EMA < Slow EMA (downtrend)
2. Previous candle closed between the EMAs (pullback)
3. Current candle crosses below and closes below Fast EMA (reclaim)
4. RSI between 40-60 (swing zone)
5. **HTF Confirmation**: Daily/4H price below EMA50, RSI < 50, negative slope
6. Optional: Volume > 1.5x 20-bar average

## 📋 Trading Workflow
### 1. Wait for High-Confidence Signal
Look for the large **HC L** or **HC S** triangle on chart close.
### 2. Verify Confluence
Check the HUD dashboard:
- Confidence score should be 70%+
- HTF status should show alignment
- RSI Zone should be "YES"
### 3. Entry
Enter the trade at market or on next candle open.
### 4. Set Stop Loss
Use the **initial stop** shown in the HUD (red line on chart):
- **Longs**: Below the swing low (10-bar lookback)
- **Shorts**: Above the swing high (10-bar lookback)
### 5. Set Take Profits
- **TP1**: 1R (50% position close) - Yellow line
- **TP2**: 2R (remaining 50% close) - Green line
### 6. Manage the Trade
- Monitor the **R Risk** column to track profit
- Stop moves to break-even automatically after 1R (if enabled)
- ATR trailing stop engages dynamically (red line adjusts)
- Exit if price hits dynamic stop level

## 💡 Strategy Tips
### Best Practices
1. **Only trade High-Confidence signals** - Ignore base signals unless very experienced
2. **Respect the HTF** - Don't fight the higher timeframe trend
3. **Use proper position sizing** - Risk 1-2% of account per trade
4. **Partial profits work** - Take 50% off at TP1, let rest run to TP2
5. **Let winners run** - Trailing stop helps capture extended moves
6. **Be patient** - Quality over quantity; wait for 70%+ confluence
### Optimal Timeframes
- **Primary Chart**: 1H, 4H, Daily (swing trading)
- **HTF Setting**: One level higher than your chart
- If trading 1H → Set HTF to 4H or D
- If trading 4H → Set HTF to D or W
- If trading Daily → Set HTF to W
### Market Conditions
**Best Performance**:
- Trending markets with healthy pullbacks
- Clear support/resistance zones
- Moderate volatility
**Avoid Trading**:
- Extremely choppy/sideways markets
- Major news events (unless experienced)
- Low confidence scores (<40%)

**Happy Trading! 📊💰**
*Remember: Discipline, patience, and risk management are the keys to long-term success.*
Tailwind.(BTC)Imagine the price of Bitcoin is like a person climbing a staircase.
The Steps (Grid): Instead of watching every single price movement, the strategy divides the market into fixed steps. In your configuration, each step measures **3,000 points**. (Examples: 60,000, 63,000, 66,000...).
The Signal: We buy only when the price climbs a full step decisively.
The "Expensive Price" Filter: If the price jumps the step but lands too far away (the candle closes too high), we do not buy. It is like trying to board a train that has already started moving too fast; the risk is too high.
Rigid Exits: The Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) are calculated from the edge of the step, not from the specific price where you managed to buy. This preserves the geometric structure of the market.
The Code Logic (Step-by-Step)
A. The Math of the Grid (`math.floor`)
pinescript
level_base = math.floor(close / step_size) * step_size
This is the most important line.
What does it do? It rounds the price down to the nearest multiple of 3,000.
Example: If BTC is at 64,500 and the step size is 3,000:
1. Divide: $64,500 / 3,000 = 21.5$
2. `math.floor` (Floor): Removes the decimals $\rightarrow$ remains $21$.
3. Multiply: $21 * 3,000 = 63,000$.
Result: The code knows that the current "floor" is **63,000**, regardless of whether the price is at 63,001 or 65,999.
B. The Strict Breakout (`strict_cross`)
pinescript
strict_cross = (open < level_base) and (close > level_base)
Most strategies only check if `close > level`. We do things slightly differently:
`open < level_base`: Requires the candle to have "born" *below* the line (e.g., opened at 62,900).
`close > level_base`: Requires the candle to have *finished* above the line (e.g., closed at 63,200).
Why? This avoids entering on gaps (price jumps where the market opens already very high) and confirms that there was real buying power crossing the line.
C. The "Expensive Price" Filter (`max_dist_pct`)
pinescript
limit_price_entry = level_base + (step_size * (max_dist_pct / 100.0))
price_is_valid = close <= limit_price_entry
Here you apply the percentage rule:
-If the level is 63,000 and the next is 66,000 (a difference of 3,000).
-If `max_dist_pct` is **60%**, the limit is $63,000 + (60\% \text{ of } 3,000) = 64,800$.
-If the breakout candle closes at **65,000**, the variable `price_is_valid` will be **false** and it will not enter the trade. This avoids buying at the ceiling.
D. TP and SL Calculation (Anchored to the Level)
pinescript
take_profit = level_base + (step_size * tp_mult)
stop_loss = level_base - (step_size * sl_mult)
Note that we use `level_base` and not `close`.
-If you entered because the price broke 63,000, your SL is calculated starting from 63,000.
-If your SL is 1.0x, your stop will be exactly at 60,000.
This is crucial: If you bought "expensive" (e.g., at 63,500), your real stop is wider (3,500 points) than if you bought cheap (63,100). Because you filter out expensive entries, you protect your Risk/Reward ratio.
E. Visual Management (`var line`)
The code uses `var` variables to remember the TP and SL lines and the `line.set_x2` function to stretch them to the right while the operation remains open, providing that visual reference on the chart until the trade ends.
Workflow Summary
Strategy Parameters:
Total Capital: $20,000
We will use 10% of total capital per trade.
Commissions: 0.1% per trade.
TP: 1.4
SL: 1
Step Size (Grid): 3,000
We use the 200 EMA as a trend filter.
Feel free to experiment with the parameters to your liking. Cheers.

USD Liquidity Regime IndexTrack global risk regimes with this USD Liquidity Composite —
It aims to be a daily macro indicator blending normalised DXY (50%), UUP (20%), 10Y Treasury yields (20%), and VIX (10%).
How to read:
When the blue index is above its red SMA: Strong USD, tightening liquidity → Risk-Off mode (often bearish for Nasdaq, BTC, and risk assets).
When the line is below: Weak USD, abundant liquidity → Risk-On (bullish environment).
Example: In 2022's bear market, the index stayed high above SMA most of the year, signalling persistent Risk-Off as USD surged.
Features on-chart table, regime background colors, and crossover alerts.
Great contextual tool for macro traders IMO.

SMI Trigger System - Lower - NPR21/ChatGPTSMI Trigger System (Lower) — Buy Low / Hrugu (Modified)
This indicator is a modified version of the original SMI Trigger System created by Buy Low, with later enhancements by Hrugu, published with permission.
The script is a lower-pane Smoothed Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) designed to deliver clear, visually intuitive momentum signals without unnecessary clutter. This version focuses exclusively on SMI behavior and removes auxiliary indicators to keep signals clean, readable, and consistent across timeframes.
Key Features
Smoothed SMI line with dynamic color changes based on momentum direction
Raw SMI line for additional reference
Zero-line split cloud shading for quick bullish/bearish momentum identification
Upper and lower SMI reference levels for overbought/oversold context
Exact-bar SMI color-flip triangle markers for immediate visual confirmation
Adjustable triangle size and offset so markers do not overlap the SMI line
Fully customizable colors for:
Zero line
Smoothed SMI (up/down)
Raw SMI
Cloud above and below zero
Upper and lower SMI levels
How to Use
This indicator is designed to highlight momentum shifts, not to predict price. It works best when combined with price structure, trend context, or higher-timeframe bias.
1. SMI Line & Color Changes
The smoothed SMI line changes color based on momentum direction:
Up color → momentum strengthening
Down color → momentum weakening
A color change often signals a potential momentum shift.
2. SMI Color-Flip Triangles
Green ▲ triangle below the SMI
Appears when the smoothed SMI turns upward (bearish → bullish momentum).
Red ▼ triangle above the SMI
Appears when the smoothed SMI turns downward (bullish → bearish momentum).
Triangles are plotted on the same bar the SMI changes color and are offset so they do not overlap the SMI line.
These markers are intended as visual confirmations, not standalone trade signals.
3. Zero Line & Cloud
The zero line separates bullish and bearish momentum regimes.
Cloud above zero → bullish momentum bias
Cloud below zero → bearish momentum bias
Stronger signals often occur when SMI flips in the direction of the cloud.
4. Upper & Lower SMI Levels
Upper and lower reference levels help identify extended momentum.
Momentum flips near or beyond these levels may indicate:
Exhaustion
Potential pullbacks
Trend continuation setups when aligned with higher-timeframe direction
5. Best Practices
Use this indicator as a confirmation tool, not a prediction tool.
Combine with:
Market structure
Support and resistance
Trend direction
Volume or price action
Works well on tick charts, intraday timeframes, and higher-timeframe analysis.
Additional Notes
Triangles do not repaint
All visual elements are user-configurable
No ADX or Awesome Oscillator components
Designed for clarity, speed, and ease of interpretation

Wavelet Candlestick Slope Follower-Master Edition Here is a short description of this script:
This is a **Trend Following strategy** that utilizes advanced mathematics—the **Wavelet Transform**—to filter out market noise.
**Key Features:**
1. **Synthetic Candles:** The script does not analyze raw prices. Instead, it constructs "Wavelet Candles"—smoothed candles created through mathematical convolution of prices with a specific wavelet "kernel" (e.g., Mexican Hat, Morlet, Haar).
2. **Auto-Correction (Normalization):** This is the most critical technical feature of this code. The script automatically normalizes the weights. This ensures that even when using complex mathematical shapes (like the Mexican Hat), the output price remains accurate to the real chart scale and is not distorted.
3. **Strategy Logic:** The logic is very straightforward—the system enters a **Long** position when the smoothed closing price (`w_close`) is rising, and closes the position when it starts to fall.
4. **Visualization:** It draws new, cleaner candles (green/red) on the chart, revealing the "true" trend structure after filtering out temporary fluctuations.
This is a example of use idea of wavelet candle
Wavelet Candle Constructor (Inc. Morlet) 2Here is the detailed description of the **Wavelet Candle** construction principles based on the code provided.
This indicator is not a simple smoothing mechanism (like a Moving Average). It utilizes the **Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)**, specifically the Stationary variant (SWT / à Trous Algorithm), to separate "noise" (high frequencies) from the "trend" (low frequencies).
Here is how it works step-by-step:
###1. The Wavelet Kernel (Coefficients)The heart of the algorithm lies in the coefficients (the `h` array in the `get_coeffs` function). Each wavelet type represents a different set of mathematical weights that define how price data is analyzed:
* **Haar:** The simplest wavelet. It acts like a simple average of neighboring candles. It reacts quickly but produces a "boxy" or "jagged" output.
* **Daubechies 4:** An asymmetric wavelet. It is better at detecting sudden trend changes and the fractal structure of the market, though it introduces a slight phase shift.
* **Symlet / Coiflet:** More symmetric than Daubechies. They attempt to minimize lag (phase shift) while maintaining smoothness.
* **Morlet (Gaussian):** Implemented in this code as a Gaussian approximation (bell curve). It provides the smoothest, most "organic" effect, ideal for filtering noise without jagged edges.
###2. The Convolution EngineInstead of a simple average, the code performs a mathematical operation called **convolution**:
For every candle on the chart, the algorithm takes past prices, multiplies them by the Wavelet Kernel weights, and sums them up. This acts as a **digital low-pass filter**—it allows the main price movements to pass through while cutting out the noise.
###3. The "à Trous" Algorithm (Stationary Wavelet Transform)This is the key difference between this indicator and standard data compression.
In a classic wavelet transform, every second data point is usually discarded (downsampling). Here, the **Stationary** approach is used:
* **Level 1:** Convolution every **1** candle.
* **Level 2:** Convolution every **2** candles (skipping one in between).
* **Level 3:** Convolution every **4** candles.
* **Level 4:** Convolution every **8** candles.
Because of this, **we do not lose time resolution**. The Wavelet Candle is drawn exactly where the original candle is, but it represents the trend structure from a broader perspective. The higher the `Decomposition Level`, the deeper the denoising (looking at a wider context).
###4. Independent OHLC ProcessingThe algorithm processes each component of the candle separately:
1. Filters the **Open** series.
2. Filters the **High** series.
3. Filters the **Low** series.
4. Filters the **Close** series.
This results in four smoothed curves: `w_open`, `w_high`, `w_low`, `w_close`.
###5. Geometric Reconstruction (Logic Repair)Since each price series is filtered independently, the mathematics can sometimes lead to physically impossible situations (e.g., the smoothed `Low` being higher than the smoothed `High`).
The code includes a repair section:
```pinescript
real_high = math.max(w_high, w_low)
real_high := math.max(real_high, math.max(w_open, w_close))
// Same logic for Low (math.min)
```
This guarantees that the final Wavelet Candle always has a valid construction: wicks encapsulate the body, and the `High` is strictly the highest point.
---
###Summary of ApplicationThis construction makes the Wavelet Candle an **excellent trend-following tool**.
* If the candle is **green**, it means that after filtering the noise (according to the selected wavelet), the market energy is bullish.
* If it is **red**, the energy is bearish.
* The wicks show volatility that exists within the bounds of the selected decomposition level.
Here is a descriptive comparison of **Wavelet Candles** against other popular chart types. As requested, this is a narrative explanation focusing on the differences in mechanics, interpretation philosophy, and the specific pros and cons of each approach.
---
###1. Wavelet Candles vs. Standard (Japanese) CandlesThis is a clash between "the raw truth" and "mathematical interpretation." Standard Japanese candles display raw market data—exactly what happened on the exchange. Wavelet Candles are a synthetic image created by a signal processor.
**Differences and Philosophy:**
A standard candle is full of emotion and noise. Every single price tick impacts its shape. The Wavelet Candle treats this noise as interference that must be removed to reveal the true energy of the trend. Wavelets decompose the price, reject high frequencies (noise), and reconstruct the candle using only low frequencies (the trend).
* **Wavelet Advantages:** The main advantage is clarity. Where a standard chart shows a series of confusing candles (e.g., a long green one, followed by a short red one, then a doji), the Wavelet Candle often draws a smooth, uniform wave in a single color. This makes it psychologically easier to hold a position and ignore temporary pullbacks.
* **Wavelet Disadvantages:** The biggest drawback is the loss of price precision. The Open, Close, High, and Low values on a Wavelet candle are calculated, not real. You **cannot** place Stop Loss orders or enter trades based on these levels, as the actual market price might be in a completely different place than the smoothed candle suggests. They also introduce lag, which depends on the chosen wavelet—whereas a standard candle reacts instantly.
###2. Wavelet Candles vs. Heikin AshiThese are close cousins, but they share very different "DNA." Both methods aim to smooth the trend, but they achieve it differently.
**Differences and Philosophy:**
Heikin Ashi (HA) is based on a simple recursive arithmetic average. The current HA candle depends on the previous one, making it react linearly.
The Wavelet Candle uses **convolution**. This means the shape of the current candle depends on a "window" (group) of past candles multiplied by weights (Gaussian curve, Daubechies, etc.). This results in a more "organic" and elastic reaction.
* **Wavelet Advantages:** Wavelets are highly customizable. With Heikin Ashi, you are stuck with one algorithm. With Wavelet Candles, you can change the kernel to "Haar" for a fast (boxy) reaction or "Morlet" for an ultra-smooth, wave-like effect. Wavelets handle the separation of market cycles better than simple HA averaging, which can generate many false color flips during consolidation.
* **Wavelet Disadvantages:** They are computationally much more complex and harder to understand intuitively ("Why is this candle red if the price is going up?"). In strong, vertical breakouts (pumps), Heikin Ashi often "chases" the price faster, whereas deep wavelet decomposition (High Level) may show more inertia and change color more slowly.
###3. Wavelet Candles vs. RenkoThis compares two different dimensions: Time vs. Price.
**Differences and Philosophy:**
Renko completely ignores time. A new brick is formed only when the price moves by a specific amount. If the market stands still for 5 hours, nothing happens on a Renko chart.
The Wavelet Candle is **time-synchronous**. If the market stands still for 5 hours, the Wavelet algorithm will draw a series of flat, small candles (the "wavelet decays").
* **Wavelet Advantages:** They preserve the context of time, which is crucial for traders who consider trading sessions (London/New York) or macroeconomic data releases. On a wavelet chart, you can see when volatility drops (candles become small), whereas Renko hides periods of stagnation, which can be misleading for options traders or intraday strategies.
* **Wavelet Disadvantages:** In sideways trends (chop), Wavelet Candles—despite the smoothing—will still draw a "snake" that flips colors (unless you set a very high decomposition level). Renko can remain perfectly clean and static during the same period, not drawing any new bricks, which for many traders is the ultimate filter against overtrading in a flat market.
###Summary**Wavelet Candles** are a tool for the analyst who wants to visualize the **structure of the wave and market cycle**, accepting some lag in exchange for noise reduction, but without giving up the time axis (like in Renko) or relying on simple averaging (like in Heikin Ashi). It serves best as a "roadmap" for the trend rather than a "sniper scope" for precise entries.
Hybrid Strategy: Trend/ORB/MTFHybrid Strategy: Trend + ORB + Multi-Timeframe Matrix
This script is a comprehensive "Trading Manager" designed to filter out noise and identify high-probability breakout setups. It combines three powerful concepts into a single, clean chart interface: Trend Alignment, Opening Range Breakout (ORB), and Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis.
It is designed to prevent "analysis paralysis" by providing a unified Dashboard that confirms if the trend is aligned across 5 different timeframes before you take a trade.
How it Works
The strategy relies on the "Golden Trio" of confluence:
1. Trend Definition (The Setup) Before looking for entries, the script analyzes the immediate trend. A bullish trend is defined as:
Price is above the Session VWAP.
The fast EMA (9) is above the slow EMA (21). (The inverse applies for bearish trends).
2. The Signal (The Trigger) The script draws the Opening Range (default: first 15 minutes of the session).
Buy Signal: Price breaks above the Opening Range High while the Trend is Bullish.
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the Opening Range Low while the Trend is Bearish.
3. The Confirmation (The Filter) A signal is only valid if the Higher Timeframe (default: 60m) agrees with the direction. If the 1m chart says "Buy" but the 60m chart is bearish, the signal is filtered out to prevent false breakouts.
Key Features
The Matrix Dashboard A zero-lag, real-time table in the corner of your screen that monitors 5 user-defined timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 4H).
Trend: Checks if Price > EMA 21.
VWAP: Checks if Price > VWAP.
ORB: Checks if Price is currently above/below the Opening Range of that session.
D H/L: Warns if price is near the Daily High or Low.
PD H/L: Warns if price is near the Previous Daily High or Low.
Visual Order Blocks The script automatically identifies valid Order Blocks (sequences of consecutive candles followed by a strong explosive move).
Chart: Draws Green/Red zones extending to the right, showing where price may react.
Dashboard: Displays the exact High, Low, and Average price of the most recent Order Blocks for precision planning.
Risk Management (Trailing Stop) Once a trade is active, the script plots Chandelier Exit dots (ATR-based trailing stop) to help you manage the trade and lock in profits during trend runs.
