Lightning Session LevelsLightning Session Levels (LSL) draws clean, non-repainting levels for the major market sessions and a compact HUD in the top-right corner. It’s built to be lightweight, readable, and “set-and-forget” for intraday traders.
What it shows
Session High/Low and Open/Close levels for:
ASIA (00:00–08:00 UTC)
EUROPE (07:00–16:00 UTC)
US (13:30–20:00 UTC)
OVERNIGHT (20:00–24:00 UTC)
HUD panel:
Current active session
Countdown to the next US session (auto-calculated from UTC)
How it works (non-repainting)
Levels are anchored at session close. Each line is created once on the confirmed closing bar of the session (x2 = session end).
Optional Extend Right keeps the level projecting forward without changing the anchor (no “drifting”).
All drawings are pinned to the right price scale for stable reading.
Inputs
Show HUD — toggle the top-right panel.
Show Levels — master switch for drawing levels.
Draw High/Low — H/L session levels.
Draw Open/Close — O/C session levels.
Extend Right — extend all session lines to the future.
Keep N past sessions per market — FIFO limit per session group (default 12).
ASIA / EUROPE / US / OVERNIGHT — enable/disable specific sessions.
Style & palette
Consistent “Lightning” colors:
ASIA = Cyan, EUROPE = Violet, US = Amber, OVERNIGHT = Teal
Labels are always size: Normal for readability.
HUD uses a dark, subtle two-tone background to stay out of the way.
Recommended use
Timeframes: intraday (1m → 4h).
On 1D and higher, TradingView’s session-window time() filters won’t match intraday windows, so levels won’t plot (by design).
Markets: crypto, indices, FX, equities — any symbol where intraday session context helps.
Notes & limitations
Fixed UTC windows. The US window is set to 13:30–20:00 UTC. Daylight-saving shifts (DST) are not auto-adjusted; if you need region-specific DST behavior, treat this as a consistent UTC model.
The HUD timer counts down to the next US open from the current UTC clock.
Draw limits are capped (500 lines, 500 labels) for performance and stability.
Quick start
Add Lightning Session Levels to your chart.
Toggle Draw High/Low and/or Draw Open/Close.
Turn on Extend Right if you want the levels to project forward.
Enable only the sessions you care about (e.g., just EUROPE and US).
Use Keep N past sessions to control clutter (e.g., 6–12).

Consolidation Value Zones (Recio)Consolidation Value Zones introduces an original algorithm to identify consolidation ranges and locate areas of importance within them. This new method "looks" at the chart and draws zones based on price with the goal of producing actionable zones which appear natural, as if they were found through a human analysis.
> Consider the following...
The chart image above displays Bitcoin, at no specific date, for no specific reason. What I have done here is simply glanced at the chart for about 5 seconds, and circled a few areas which stood out as "obvious" consolidation. It does not take a savant to look at a chart and circle ranging price. However, what we have just done defies many common systems for identifying consolidation. We have located ranges of various zone lengths, as small as roughly 25 bars to as large as roughly 100 bars. Regardless of this, we still determined these zones with our eyes and brain in a few seconds, for some it's practically instant. The issue with us humans doing this, is that we are subjective. We did not really use any concrete rules to determine these areas with our eyes. So the problem becomes "How do we identify these zones in a way which seems natural to us with a repeatable system?" Because of this, my approach is simply a logical attempt to reverse engineer our human intuition.
> Consolidation Value Zones
The name of this indicator is generic. To dissect it, we are identifying consolidation ranges, then using a volume profile to determine the value zone within that range. The specific method used to identify these consolidation zones is something I've personally been referring to as the "skewer" method. Another name that may fit better is "Linear Range Alignment/Overlap".
Ultimately, the goal is to locate a single price level or range that overlaps many adjacent bars.
This should, in theory, return areas of visually obvious consolidation.
> The Skewer Method (Identification Method & Bar Gap Allowances)
One consistent concept across the different identification methods for determining consolidation is time. How long do we chop around before calling it consolidation? This is the "Identification Threshold". Once we have located a consolidation zone "this" wide, we will then consider it as consolidation.
In the chart image above, we are considering a six-bar consolidation formation. The figure on the left shows an example of a perfect raw bar overlap, we can see that the six bars all overlap at one price range. This is a perfect example of what we are looking to identify as consolidation. Unfortunately, if this was all we looked at, we would have a very scarce identification method.
For that reason, we have the example on the right, which shows the additional allowances for the identification of these ranges. At most, the example on the right shows a gapless three-bar overlap. However, if we allow the identification to bridge across the gaps, we are able to draw a zone directly through the center and still be within our parameters. This allowance is the "Bar Gap Allowance" and will determine the leniency of the identification.
Between our identification threshold and bar gap allowance, we can start to piece together how the script is "looking" at our chart.
> Detecting Consolidation (Live Detection)
To aid in transparency and user understanding, the live detection calculation can be seen on the chart as a box, skewering the recent historical bars with a number next to it, indicating the number of bars found as potential consolidation.
As we can see in the chart image above, the script, by default, is looking for a 15-bar consolidation, with a 5-bar gap allowance. In the image, the specific gap count is labeled, we can see the script scan backwards as far as it can before counting five gaps in the data. Once that occurs, the detection stops.
Notice how the zone found is a range, consisting of all price levels which meet the parameters. The lower level of the range only had two gaps, but the upper level reached five.
> Consolidation Range and Value Zones (Volume Profiles)
Once the script has identified the consolidation formation, it calculates a volume profile across the identified consolidation range. From this it calculates and draws the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area in addition to the full consolidation range.
Once we have our zones drawn, and understand what they identify, we can go one step further and apply concepts from volume profile trading.
Range High/Low: Displays the current extent of the identified consolidation.
Value High/Low: Shows the specific area within the consolidation where buyers and sellers found the most value.
POC: The single point, where the most volume was transacted during consolidation.
In a balanced market, we would anticipate price to rotate around POC, oscillating from Value High (VAH) to Value Low (VAL). In contrast, a market in motion moves directionally, building volume at new price levels as value, naturally the POC shifts with it.
> Zone Extensions
Unlike many other scripts, there is no mitigation logic at play here, since crossing a zone simply tells us "buyers and sellers are not currently active here", but it does not guarantee that value cannot return or react from previous areas of value.
Obviously the current zone will always be most relevant, but historical zones can retain relevance depending on the context of the market.
Remember: Each area of consolidation is an area where buyers and sellers were once facing off, resulting in price's consolidation. Amidst this, the value zone was the area of greatest agreement between the participants at that time. When moving outside of a range, we would typically look at historical value areas and price's interaction with them for further context.
Due to the ever changing market, there is no fixed extension lookback that will cover every scenario. By default, the Extension Lookback is "1", meaning the script will extend the most recent zone forward until a new zone is detected.
Note: For clarity, zone extensions are colored differently from core zones.
The following chart image shows a few examples of these unique interactions.
As seen in the chart image, looking to previous areas of value as well as POC can provide context in the form of acceptance or rejection at these levels, providing further insight into the auction for us to respond to.
The zones do contain logic to maintain a clean display. By default, the zones extend conditionally when price returns to the previous consolidation range. If desired, the zones can be extended regardless of price action; this can be toggled with the option "Regardless Extension Mode", as seen below.
> Hollow Candles & Zone Merging
When consolidation is identified, a hollow candle is drawn; these can be used to see exactly when each zone is identified. It is important to understand that consolidation zones stemming from the same origin are merged into one zone. This is a frequent occurrence when the consolidation threshold is passed, but the consolidation continues. For this reason you will often see multiple hollow candles in the later areas of the zones.
Similarly, zones from different origin points that overlap are also merged into one consolidation zone. This ensures that no core zones overlap.
Additionally, every time a zone is merged, a new volume profile for the area is calculated.
> Bar Gap Allowance Type (Technical Explanation)
The specific bar gap allowance value can be altered, but so can the type of allowance being used. While some analyses may benefit from counting the total amount of bar gaps within the consolidation, others may benefit from detecting based on consecutive bar gaps.
The chart image above displays the gap counts for each gap allowance type.
The total bar gap allowance type will count until the gap amount is reached, then terminate detection once the allowed number of gaps has been exceeded.
The consecutive bar gap allowance type resets its count once it finds a valid bar within range, by doing so, it only counts the bars that separate each island of in-range bars.
Both methods have merit.
> Implementation
This identification method has proven effective to identify consolidation across market types. As a result, there cannot be one configuration of settings to fit every application. Adapting the detection type and method for each trader's specific market conditions is highly recommended.
When determining parameters, it is helpful to consider time, as it plays a major role in the identification method.
On a 1D chart, the default threshold of 15 corresponds to 15 days, or about 3 weeks depending on the ticker. To identify periods of one-week consolidation, a threshold of 5 would be suitable. To detect perfect gapless weeks, a bar gap allowance of 0 could be used, as seen in the chart image below.
Additional Example:
In the chart image above, we see a 15-second forex chart over the span of a few hours. The detection parameters are set up to detect 15-minute consolidation with a 2-minute max dead zone (consecutive bar gap).
> Detection Source
By default, the script detects consolidation ranges using the full extent of candle wicks. While this is traditional, detection can also be done using only the candle bodies. These identifications are much more nuanced, detecting only from confirmed candle price action; they do not trigger at the same frequency as wick detection.
Optionally, a "Wick/Body Average" can be chosen as the source for detection; as the name implies, this uses the average value between the candle body and its respective wick.
> Additional Settings
The settings mentioned thus far serve as core parameters for identifying consolidation. The following parameters are simply included for the benefit of the advanced user. It is not recommended to adjust these settings under normal circumstances.
- Value Area Percent: Default = 68.26, while traditionally 70 for volume profiles, 68.26 is accurate to the values of a standard bell-curve distribution. The differences are minimal in application.
- VP Rows: Default = 99, Sets the number of rows to be used when calculating the Volume Profiles (VP); note that higher values will lead to a slower calculation. Max value: 999
> Final Notes
If you have made it this far, thank you for reading.
I hope you find value in this new consolidation identification system and understand the logic behind it.
That's it.
Paid script
cd_sfp_CxGeneral:
This indicator is designed to assist users who trade the Swing Failure Pattern ( SFP ).
In technical literature (various definitions exist), an SFP is a situation where the price violates a previous swing level but fails to close beyond that level.
• (Liquidity Sweep)
• (Buyer or seller dominance)
• (Stop hunt)
• (Turtle Soup)
The general strategy is built upon seeking trade opportunities after an SFP is formed and conviction is established that the market direction has changed.
Components used to gather confirmation:
• Determining Bias: Periodic SAR
• Obtaining Breakout/Reversal Confirmation: Change in State Delivery (CISD)
• Defining the Buyer/Seller Block (Supply/Demand Zones): Mitg Blocks (Mitigation Blocks), FVG (Fair Value Gaps), and Standard Deviation Projection
• Key Levels: Previous HTF (Higher Time Frame) levels
• Setting Targets: Standard Deviation Projection
• Trade Management: Anchored VWAP and opposing blocks
• Time-Based Context: Session Killzone times
• Notifications: An alarm/alert system will be utilized to stay informed.
________________________________________
Details:
Swing and Swing Failure Pattern:
Swing Sweep Types (Liquidity Sweep):
1. Single
2. Consecutive (The liquidity of the entity that swept the liquidity is being swept)
Bias Determination
We need to filter out the numerous SFPs that occur across all time frames. Our first strong filter will be the Bias. We will only look for trades aligned with our bias.
We will use Periodic SAR (Stop and Reverse) to determine the bias. We compare the price with the SAR value from a Higher Time Frame than the one we are trading on.
• Price > SAR => Bullish Bias
• Price < SAR => Bearish Bias
Depending on the pair, H1 SAR may be chosen for scalp trades, and Daily/Weekly SAR for intraday and swing trades.
Key Levels
Strategies looking for trades after a liquidity grab generally state that the sweep / stop hunt movement should occur at a significant price level.
The most fundamental Key Level levels are (User can customize):
• Previous Week High & Low
• Previous Day High & Low
• Previous H4 High & Low
• Previous H1 High & Low
• Asia Killzone High & Low
• London Killzone High & Low
• New York Killzone High & Low
• Monday Range High & Low values
We will prefer SFP formations that occur when these levels are swept. When Key Levels are violated, an information label appears on the screen.
Blocks / Zones
To strengthen our hand, we will use three types of blocks/zones, either with Key Levels or separately. When an SFP structure is formed in these areas (along with bias and breakout confirmation), our expectation is for the price to continue in our desired direction. These regions are:
1. Mitigation Blocks (Mtg)
o (Details can be found in the cd_VWAP_mtg_Cx indicator)
o In short: A second candle, following a bullish candle, crosses its high but fails to close above it. We call this a sweep / SFP. When the price, which was expected to go to the low, instead makes a new high/close, an Mtg block is formed. (Buyers are dominant)
2. FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)
o We use classic FVG structures.
3. Standard Deviation Projection Boxes
o When we get an SFP structure + breakout confirmation (CISD), we use the Standard Deviation Projection to determine our profit-taking and take-profit levels.
o Based on the idea that the price often respects the range between -2 and -2.5 of the projection values, we box this range and use it as our area of interest. (Our expectation is for the price to reverse after reaching this target).
o Let's mark it on the chart.
Confirmation
To summarize what has been explained so far: we look for the price to form an SFP structure in levels/zones we deem important, aligned with our bias, and for the breakout to be confirmed with a CISD.
No single component is strong on its own, but the success rate increases when they occur together.
We observe the following as additional confirmation along with the CISD: a new Mtg block forming in the direction of the breakout, high-volume movement (with FVG and a large body), and respect for VWAPs, the resistance/support line, and the defense block.
Additional Confirmations with Breakouts:
• Defence block, new mtg and VWAP
• Resistance / Support Line:
Indicator Signals
The indicator marks all formed sweeps, selected key levels, blocks, the projection, and CISD confirmations on the screen. The candle where the CISD confirmation occurs is indicated by an arrow.
• Arrows with double short lines signify a CISD that follows an SFP occurring at a Key Level.
• All other CISD candle indications are shown with single-line arrows.
Trade Management
When selecting profit targets in trades (preferably), the projection, opposing blocks, and structures that have formed are taken into account. Do not neglect to look at the structures that have formed against you when entering a trade.
Menu Settings:
• For Mtg blocks, the trading timeframe or a higher timeframe can be selected.
• FVGs formed in the current timeframe are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in "Fvg" option).
• Deviation boxes are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in box).
• The SAR HTF setting (H1) for scalp trades may vary depending on the pair. Users trying trades on higher timeframes should increase the HTF setting.
o Example: If you are looking for a trade with an SFP structure on H1, the SAR HTF setting should be H4 or higher.
• VWAP lines are refreshed starting from the candle that executed the sweep when the price forms an SFP. The only setting to adjust is the source selection setting (hlc3 is selected).
• Time frames and Killzone / Special Zone settings for Key Levels can be changed/should be checked.
Alarms / Alerts:
The conditions that will trigger an alert can be selected from the menu.
• To receive an alert aligned with the bias, the "Alignment with bias" checkbox must be selected.
• The alert should be set on the timeframe where you plan to enter the trade.
• The display options do not affect the alarm conditions. (Example: FVGs are monitored even when the menu selection is "off").
• If the necessary conditions are met, the alarm is triggered on the new candle that opens after the CISD confirmation.
• The alarm will not be triggered more than once at the same Key Level.
The user can preferably select alerts:
• Bias-aligned or Bias-independent
• Sweep (without waiting for CISD)
• Sweep + CISD (without looking for other conditions)
• Sweep + Key Level + CISD (the swept level is a Key Level)
• Sweep + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed in any of the blocks)
• Sweep + Mtg + CISD (SFP formed in the Mtg block)
• Sweep + Fvg + CISD (SFP formed inside the FVG)
• Sweep + Deviation Box + CISD (SFP formed inside the Dev. Box)
• Sweep + Key Level + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed simultaneously at a Key Level and any of the blocks)
Trade Example:
• Conditions: Bias-aligned + Sweep + Mtg/Fvg/Dev (at least one) + CISD
• Extra Confirmations: Respect for the Defense Block + Respect for VWAP
• Target (TP): Projection between -2 and -2.5
I welcome your thoughts and suggestions regarding my indicator, which I believe will be successful in the long run by adhering to uncompromising risk management and a strict trading plan.
Happy Trading!
Multi-MA OscillatorDescription:
The Multi-MA Oscillator is a highly versatile momentum tool that transforms any moving average into a normalized, mean-reverting oscillator. By converting MA values into statistical z-scores, it provides a standardized view of momentum across different timeframes and market conditions. With support for 7 distinct MA types and extensive customization options, it adapts to any trading style while offering clear visual signals for overbought/oversold conditions and potential reversals.
🔍 Core Methodology:
MA Transformation: Converts moving average values into z-scores, showing how many standard deviations the MA is from its historical mean. This normalization allows for consistent interpretation regardless of the underlying MA type or price level.
Multi-Algorithm Support: Choose from 7 MA types - EMA, SMA, KAMA, HMA, DEMA, ALMA, and WMA - each offering unique characteristics for different market environments.
Advanced Algorithm Settings: Fine-tune specialized MAs with dedicated parameters for KAMA (fast/smoothing) and ALMA (offset/sigma).
🎯 Signal Generation & Features:
Standardized Levels: The oscillator operates around a zero line with clear reference levels at ±2, ±3, and ±4 standard deviations.
Reversal Detection: Plots distinctive circle markers (⚬) when momentum peaks at extreme levels, signalling potential trend exhaustion.
Bullish Reversal: Appears in oversold territory (-3 or below) when momentum begins recovering.
Bearish Reversal: Appears in overbought territory (+3 or above) when momentum starts declining.
Dynamic Bar Colouring: Five different colouring modes to match your analysis style:
Trend: Colors bars by momentum direction (Cyan/Bullish vs Purple/Bearish)
Extremities: Highlights only extreme moves beyond ±2 standard deviations
Reversions: Colors bars specifically during reversal signals
Slope: Colors based on momentum acceleration/deceleration
None: No bar colouring
⚙️ Input Parameters:

Oscillator Settings: Adjust normalization length and reversion threshold sensitivity
Whether you're a day trader needing responsive signals or a swing trader looking for reliable momentum shifts, the Multi-MA Oscillator provides the flexibility and clarity to enhance your technical analysis workflow.
Dynamic Momentum OscillatorDescription:
The Dynamic Momentum Oscillator is a statistically-driven momentum tool that goes beyond traditional oscillators. Instead of using raw price, it analyzes the momentum of a DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) itself, creating a smoother, more refined signal. Its innovative approach incorporates volatility-weighted z-scoring, allowing the indicator to automatically adjust its sensitivity based on market conditions, helping to identify both the strength and sustainability of momentum shifts.
🔍 How It Works:
DEMA Momentum Core: The indicator first calculates a DEMA of the price. It then analyzes the momentum of this DEMA, effectively creating a "momentum of momentum" measure that filters out market noise.
Volatility-Adaptive Z-Score: The core signal is a statistical z-score, which measures how many standard deviations the DEMA is from its mean. This tells you not just the direction, but the statistical significance of the move.
Dynamic Volatility Weighting: The unique addition is a normalized standard deviation component that weights the z-score. In high volatility periods, this amplifies the signal, making strong trends more pronounced. In low volatility, it provides a more muted, conservative output.
🎯 Interpreting the Oscillator:
Zero Line: The baseline. Momentum is considered neutral here.
Orange Histogram (Above Zero): Indicates bullish momentum. The further the bar extends above zero, the stronger and more statistically significant the bullish momentum.
Purple Histogram (Below Zero): Indicates bearish momentum. The further the bar extends below zero, the stronger and more statistically significant the bearish momentum.
Signal Strength: The height of the histogram bars reflects the combined momentum and volatility, giving you a direct visual gauge of momentum strength.
⚙️ Input Parameters (Group: Core Settings):
DEMA Length: The period for the primary Double Exponential Moving Average.
Standard Deviation Length: The lookback period for calculating volatility and the z-score.
StDev Weight: Controls the influence of volatility on the final signal (0.1 = minimal, 1.0 = maximum). Adjust this to fine-tune the indicator's responsiveness.
By focusing on the statistical properties of price momentum, the Dynamic Momentum Oscillator offers a unique lens for pinpointing high-probability trend continuations and reversals. It's a powerful tool for traders who appreciate quantitative methods.
Adaptive EMA CrossoverIndicator Name: Adaptive EMA Crossover
Description:
The Adaptive EMA Crossover is a sleek, visual tool designed to help traders identify trend direction and potential entry/exit points with clarity. By employing two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with dynamic coloring, it cuts through the noise of the chart, allowing you to focus on high-probability signals.
🔍 Key Features:
Dual EMA System: Utilizes a fast and a slow EMA to gauge market momentum. The default settings are 12 (fast) and 21 (slow) periods, which can be fully customized.
Adaptive Visuals: Both EMAs change color simultaneously to reflect the dominant trend.
🟢 Bright Turquoise: Indicates an Uptrend (Fast EMA >= Slow EMA).
🔴 Bright Pink: Indicates a Downtrend (Fast EMA < Slow EMA).
Clear Crossover Signals: Prominent dots directly on the chart mark the exact moment a crossover occurs.
Turquoise Dot: A Bullish Crossover signal (Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA).
Pink Dot: A Bearish Crossover signal (Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA).
Integrated Alerts: Never miss a trading opportunity! Built-in alert conditions notify you instantly for both bullish and bearish crossovers.
🎯 How to Use:
Trend Identification: The primary colors of the EMAs give an immediate sense of the trend. Trade in the direction of the trend for higher-probability setups.
Signal Confirmation: Use the crossover dots as potential triggers for entry or exit. A turquoise dot in a rising market can signal a buy opportunity, while a pink dot in a falling market can signal a sell or short opportunity.
Combination with Other Tools: For best results, combine this indicator with other forms of analysis like support/resistance levels or volume confirmation to filter out false signals.
⚙️ Inputs:
EMA Small: Period for the faster-moving average (default: 12).
EMA Big: Period for the slower-moving average (default: 21).
This is my first published indicator. I welcome all feedback and suggestions for improvement! Happy Trading!
ICT Sessions Ranges [SwissAlgo]ICT Session Ranges - ICT Liquidity Zones & Market Structure
OVERVIEW
This indicator identifies and visualizes key intraday trading sessions and liquidity zones based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology (AM, NY Lunch Raid, PM Session, London Raid). It tracks 'higher high' and 'lower low' price levels during specific time periods that may represent areas where market participants have placed orders (liquidity).
PURPOSE
The indicator helps traders observe:
Session-based price ranges during different market hours
Opening range gaps between market close and next day's open
Potential areas where liquidity may be concentrated and trigger price action
SESSIONS TRACKED
1. London Session (02:00-05:00 ET): Tracks price range during early London trading hours
2. AM Session (09:30-12:00 ET): Tracks price range during the morning New York session
3. NY Lunch Session (12:00-13:30 ET): Tracks price range during typical low-volume lunch period
4. PM Session (13:30-16:00 ET): Tracks price range during the afternoon New York session
CALCULATIONS
Session High/Low: The highest high and lowest low recorded during each active session period
Opening Range Gap: Calculated as the difference between the previous day's 16:00 close and the current day's 09:30 open
Gap Mitigation: A gap is considered mitigated when the price reaches 50% of the gap range
All times are based on America/New_York timezone (ET)
BACKGROUND INDICATORS
NY Trading Hours (09:30-16:00 ET): Optional gray background overlay
Asian Session (20:00-23:59 ET): Optional purple background overlay
VISUAL ELEMENTS
Horizontal lines mark session highs and lows
Subtle background boxes highlight each session range
Labels identify each session type
Orange shaded boxes indicate unmitigated opening range gaps
Dotted line at 50% gap level shows mitigation threshold
FEATURES
Toggle visibility for each session independently
Customizable colors for each session type
Automatic removal of mitigated gaps
All drawing objects use transparent backgrounds for chart clarity
ICT CONCEPTS
This tool relates to concepts discussed by Inner Circle Trader regarding liquidity pools, session-based analysis, and gap theory. The indicator assumes that session highs and lows may represent areas where liquidity is concentrated, and that opening range gaps may attract price until mitigated.
USAGE NOTES
Best used on intraday timeframes (1-15 minute charts)
All sessions are calculated based on actual price movement during specified time periods
Historical session data is preserved as new sessions develop
Gap detection only triggers at 09:30 ET market open
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It displays historical price levels and time-based calculations. Past performance of price levels is not indicative of future results. The identification of "liquidity zones" is a theoretical concept and does not guarantee that orders exist at these levels or that prices will react to them. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Users should conduct their own analysis and risk assessment before making any trading decisions.

Adaptive Volume Trend - [RZ]Adaptive Volume Trend
Introduction
The Adaptive Volume Trend is a dynamic, volume-weighted trend detection indicator designed to identify significant directional shifts in market momentum. By integrating price and volume data into a single adaptive framework, it helps traders visualize when market participation supports upward or downward trends.
The indicator adapts to volatility conditions through statistical measures, offering a refined approach to trend confirmation beyond traditional moving averages.
Key Features
Dynamic Volume-Weighted Analysis : Utilizes a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) combined with exponential smoothing to account for both price movement and traded volume.
Adaptive Thresholding : Implements a rolling standard deviation-based system that automatically adjusts sensitivity to volatility and market conditions.
Color-Coded Trend Visualization : Optional bar and line coloring dynamically represent bullish and bearish market states for intuitive chart interpretation.
Alert Conditions : Built-in alerts notify users when bullish or bearish thresholds are breached, enabling timely trading decisions.
Customizable Parameters : Users can modify VWMA length, smoothing period, threshold sensitivity, and color settings to align with their preferred trading style or asset characteristics.
How It Works
The indicator calculates a smoothed VWMA of the closing price weighted by trading volume, then compares the logarithmic deviation of price from this adaptive average. A dynamic standard deviation is applied over a defined period to establish upper and lower threshold bands that represent statistically significant price deviations.
When the oscillator crosses above the upper threshold, it signals potential bullish strength supported by rising volume.
When it falls below the lower threshold, it indicates bearish dominance or weakening momentum.
A scoring mechanism assigns values (+1 for bullish, –1 for bearish) which drive both bar and line color changes, providing immediate visual feedback.
The EMA overlay line, color-shifted by signal strength, further emphasizes ongoing directional trends.
This adaptive mechanism ensures responsiveness during high-volatility markets while filtering noise during consolidation phases.

Price-Volume Correlation Strength (PVC)Overview
The Price-Volume Correlation Strength (PVC) indicator is a behavioral-analysis tool that quantifies the relationship between price movement and volume participation to distinguish t rue directional moves from false momentum or exhaustion traps .
It combines dynamic price–volume correlation logic, signal clustering, liquidity-sweep detection, and multi-day reference levels into a single, data-driven framework that adapts across all markets and timeframes.
⸻
1️⃣ Core Logic — Price vs Volume Correlation
At the heart of PVC is the belief that price without volume confirmation is deception .
The script evaluates whether volume supports or contradicts price direction using a rolling volume average and short-term price delta:
Price Direction Volume Behavior
↑ Price + ↑ Volume True Bull Move ✅ — Healthy rally with strong participation
↑ Price + ↓ Volume False Bull Move ⚠️ — Buyer exhaustion or fake breakout
↓ Price + ↑ Volume True Bear Move ✅ — Active selling pressure
↓ Price + ↓ Volume False Bear Move ⚠️ — Short covering / weak decline
Candles are automatically color-coded so that traders can instantly identify whether the current move is being supported (lime/red) or rejected (gray) by the underlying volume dynamics.
2️⃣ Signal Module — Trend Confirmation & Reversal
PVC tracks sequences of consecutive “true” bars to generate BUY or SELL signals once momentum aligns with sustained volume confirmation.
A built-in signal-strength filter (user-adjustable) ensures that only moves with multi-bar confirmation are considered.
Signals are non-repainting: once triggered, they persist until an opposite direction is confirmed.
3️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Engine
Markets often manipulate recent highs/lows to trigger stops before true reversals begin.
The Liquidity Sweep Engine detects these events by comparing current highs/lows to prior extremes and validating them with above-average volume bursts .
• Bullish Sweep (Blue dot below bar): liquidity taken below prior lows, buyers absorb volume → potential reversal up.
• Bearish Sweep (Blue dot above bar): liquidity taken above prior highs, sellers absorb volume → potential reversal down.
This module helps traders recognize Smart Money traps and stop-hunt zones that precede major turning points.
4️⃣ Adaptive Dashboard
A compact, on-chart dashboard summarizes the market state in real time:
• Price Direction — UP / DOWN / FLAT
• Volume Trend — RISING / FALLING
• Move Validity — True / False Move
• Signal Status — Active Buy / Sell / Mixed
• Recent Sweeps — Bull / Bear / Both / None
Border and grid colors are user-configurable for visual clarity.
⸻
5️⃣ Multi-Day OHLC & VWAP Suite
To complement the intraday correlation engine, PVC integrates a Multi-Day OHLC module that automatically projects up to 10 previous-day levels (High, Low, Close, and VWAP).
These act as natural liquidity magnets and reaction zones where price often pauses or reverses.
Users can customize:
• Line colors for each level type
• Universal or per-type line thickness
• Number of days to display (1–10)
This turns the indicator into a complete context map—linking current price–volume behavior with historical reference levels.
⸻
6️⃣ Alerts & Practical Use
Built-in alerts trigger on:
• True Bull Move / True Bear Move (momentum confirmation)
• Buy / Sell Signals (multi-bar strength filter)
• Bullish / Bearish Liquidity Sweep (stop-hunt detection)
Best use cases
• Identify whether a breakout is real or fading before entering.
• Confirm reversals with simultaneous volume confirmation + liquidity flush.
• Combine with VWAP or structure tools to align with institutional footprints.
⸻
7️⃣ Why PVC is Original
While most volume indicators only show totals or ratios, PVC focuses on behavioral correlation—the timing and agreement between price change and participation.
By merging price–volume validation, trap detection, and multi-day liquidity mapping inside one unified system, PVC provides a contextual narrative of market strength that no single classic indicator offers.
⸻
How to Use
1. Apply on any timeframe or instrument.
2. Observe candle colors for confirmation or divergence.
3. Watch the dashboard: when both Price UP + Volume Rising + True Move + Buy Active, the move has strong backing.
4. If “False Move” or “Liquidity Sweep” appears, expect a possible reversal.
5. Align entries with daily VWAP/High/Low zones for confluence.

Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks – Institutional Rejection Zone Detection
The Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks indicator combines high-volume analysis with statistical confidence intervals to identify where institutional traders are actively defending price levels through volume spikes and rejection patterns.
🔥 Core Methodology
Volume Spike Detection analyzes when current volume exceeds moving average by configurable multipliers (1.0-5.0x) to identify institutional activity
Rejection Candle Analysis uses dual-ratio system measuring wick percentage (30-90%) and maximum body ratio (10-60%) to confirm genuine rejections
Statistical Confidence Channels create three-level zones (upper, center, lower) based on ATR or Standard Deviation calculations
Smart Invalidation Logic automatically clears zones when price significantly breaches confidence levels to maintain relevance
Dynamic Channel Projection extends confidence intervals forward up to 200 bars with customizable length
Support Zone Identification detects bullish rejections where smart money absorbs selling pressure with high volume and strong lower wicks
Resistance Zone Mapping identifies bearish rejections where institutions defend price levels with volume spikes and pronounced upper wicks
Visual Information Dashboard displays real-time status table showing volume spike conditions and active support/resistance zones
⚙️ Technical Configuration
Dual Confidence Interval Methods: Choose between ATR-Based for trend-following environments or StdDev-Based for range-bound statistical precision
Volume Moving Average: Configurable period (default 20) for baseline volume comparison calculations
Volume Spike Multiplier: Adjustable threshold from 1.0 to 5.0 times average volume to filter institutional activity
Rejection Wick Percentage: Set minimum wick size from 30% to 90% of candle range for valid rejection detection
Maximum Body Ratio: Configure body-to-range ratio from 10% to 60% to ensure genuine rejection structures
Confidence Multiplier: Statistical multiplier (default 1.96) for 95% confidence interval calculations
Channel Projection Length: Extend confidence zones forward from 10 to 200 bars for anticipatory analysis
ATR Period: Customize Average True Range lookback from 5 to 50 bars for volatility-based calculations
StdDev Period: Adjust Standard Deviation period from 10 to 100 bars for statistical precision
🎯 Real-World Trading Applications
Identify high-probability support zones where institutional buyers have historically defended price with significant volume
Map resistance levels where smart money sellers consistently reject higher prices with volume confirmation
Combine with price action analysis to confirm breakout validity when price approaches confidence channel boundaries
Use invalidation signals to exit positions when smart money zones are definitively breached
Monitor the real-time dashboard to quickly assess current market structure and active rejection zones
Adapt strategy based on calculation method: ATR for trending markets, StdDev for ranging conditions
Set alerts on confidence level breaches to catch potential trend reversals or continuation patterns
📈 Visual Interpretation Guide
Green Zones indicate bullish rejection blocks where buyers defended with high volume and lower wicks
Red Zones indicate bearish rejection blocks where sellers defended with high volume and upper wicks
Solid Center Lines represent the core rejection price level where maximum volume activity occurred
Dashed Confidence Boundaries show upper and lower statistical limits based on volatility calculations
Zone Opacity decreases as channels extend forward to indicate decreasing confidence over time
Dashboard Color Coding provides instant visual feedback on active volume spike and zone conditions
⚠️ Important Considerations
Volume-based indicators identify historical rejection zones but cannot predict future price action with certainty
Market conditions change rapidly and institutional activity patterns evolve continuously
High volume does not guarantee level defense as market structure can shift without warning
Confidence intervals represent statistical probabilities, not guaranteed price boundaries
Relative Performance Binary FilterDescription:
This indicator monitors the relative performance of 30 selected crypto assets and generates a binary signal for each: 1 if the asset’s price has increased above a user-defined threshold over a specified lookback period, 0 otherwise. The script produces a JSON-formatted output suitable for webhooks, allowing you to send the signals to external applications like Google Sheets.
Key Features:
Configurable lookback period, price source, and performance threshold.
Supports confirmed or real-time bar data.
Monitors 30 crypto assets simultaneously.
Produces a one-line JSON output with batch grouping for easy webhook integration.
Includes an optional visual sum plot showing how many assets are above the threshold at any time.
Use Cases:
Automate performance tracking across multiple crypto assets.
Feed binary signals into external dashboards, trading bots, or Google Sheets.
Quickly identify which assets are outperforming a set threshold.
Auto Fibonacci Retracement (Labeled Swings, Rounded Prices)This tool automatically detects the latest confirmed swing high and swing low on your chart, using a user-settable pivot length. It then plots standard Fibonacci retracement levels between these confirmed pivots, labeling each retracement line with its percentage and rounded price for instant reference. All levels update only on swing confirmation, ensuring strict non-repainting logic and transparency.
How it works
Swing Detection:
Uses Pine Script’s native ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to locate swing pivots after full confirmation, reducing noise and false signals.
Fibonacci Calculation:
Once two confirmed swings are found, the script draws standard Fibonacci retracement levels (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%) between these anchors. The levels adapt to both uptrends and downtrends, based on swing position.
Customization and Clarity:
Users can choose which retracement levels to display and adjust colors, line thickness, styles, and label sizes for chart clarity. All price labels are rounded for improved visibility.
Non-Repainting:
All levels are plotted only after a swing is confirmed by the market; nothing redraws retroactively.
How To Use It
Add the indicator to any chart and timeframe.
Select your preferred pivot length:
Smaller values yield more frequent swings, larger values wait for major structure.
Toggle each Fibonacci level you wish to see in the settings.
Adjust line and label appearance to fit your style.
Interpret retracement levels as potential support/resistance zones, awareness for pullbacks, and context for trend direction.
Combine the indicator with your technical, price action, or volume analysis to plan entries, stops, and targets.
What Traders Should Look For
Visual retracement map between confirmed swings:
Fib lines auto-update as new swings are confirmed, keeping your chart relevant.
Price reaction at Fib levels:
Watch for reversals, consolidations, or continuations near labeled percentages and prices.
Trend assessment:
Quickly spot whether market structure is showing shallow or deep retracements by the distance between levels.
Confluence:
Use retracement levels along with other indicators or market structure for more robust trade setups.
Key Features
Strict non-repainting logic (confirmed swings only)
Configurable retracement levels: Enable/disable each Fib line.
Rounded price & percentage labels
Visual customization: Colors, thickness, line style, label size
Automatic detection of direction (uptrend/downtrend pivots)
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis and educational tool. It does not provide buy/sell signals, nor guarantee future price movements. Please use in conjunction with your trading plan and risk management.
SMA RibbonSMA RIBBON for simple yet powerful indicator. 2-3 SMAs are plotted in one indicator so that the limit for indicator usage is brought down.
Price Action ZigZag (Impulses & Corrections)This indicator tracks price structure by connecting significant swing highs and lows—giving a clear, actionable “ZigZag” view of market movement. It automatically maps the underlying price action as alternating impulses (trend legs) and corrections (pullbacks), directly on your chart, for any timeframe.
How does it work?
Swing Detection:
The script uses the user-selected “pivot length” to identify confirmed swing highs and lows with Pine Script’s ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow.
These pivots only print after full confirmation, making all lines strictly non-repainting.
ZigZag Drawing:
After pivots are captured, the indicator connects each alternating swing with lines that trace the progression of price structure.
Each line segment is mapped according to the sequence and direction of swings:
Impulse: Moves that break further away from prior swing in the same direction (continuations/uptrends/downtrends)
Correction: Moves that pull price back, but do not extend past the previous impulse (retracements/sideways action)
Impulse vs Correction Logic:
Bullish impulse: swing from a higher low to a higher high (fast upward moves after a low)
Bearish impulse: swing from a lower high to a lower low (fast downward moves after a high)
Corrections appear as smaller lines between alternating swing points not leading to new trend extension.
Labels & Colors:
Impulse lines are drawn teal (customizable), corrections in gray.
Tiny labels ("Impulse", "Correction") are shown for clarity (optional).
Most recent pivots are highlighted with yellow dots for quick visual reference.
Key Features:
User-adjustable pivot length controls sensitivity and structure size (scalp to swing).
Distinguishes between impulses and corrections instantly on the chart.
Labels and color coding for clarity—traders can spot trend continuation vs. pullback at a glance.
Non-repainting confirmed pivots and lines; never show incomplete data.
Fully customizable appearance—all colors and label display adjustable in settings.
Zero lookahead or repainting: all signals use confirmed, historical price only.
How to use:
Add to any chart and set 'Swing Length' to fit your trading style (shorter for scalping, longer for bigger structure).
Follow the ZigZag lines to see when price makes an impulse vs. correction, and use this to identify high-probability momentum or reversal zones.
Combine this script with your own analysis/strategy or other indicators for deeper context.
Adjust colors and label options for your preferred chart clarity.

EPS Trendline (Fundamentals Insight by Mazhar Karimi)Overview
This indicator visualizes a company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) data directly on the chart—pulled from TradingView’s fundamental database—and applies a dynamic linear regression trendline to highlight the long-term direction of earnings growth or decline.
It’s designed to help investors and quantitative traders quickly see how the company’s profitability (EPS) has evolved over time and whether it’s trending upward (growth), flat (stagnant), or downward (decline).
How it Works
Uses request.financial() to fetch EPS data (Diluted or Basic).
You can select whether to use TTM (Trailing Twelve Months), FQ (Fiscal Quarter), or FY (Fiscal Year) data.
The script fits a regression line (using ta.linreg) over a configurable window to visualize the underlying EPS trend.
Updates automatically when new financial data is released.
Inputs
EPS Period: Choose between FQ / FY / TTM
Use Diluted EPS: Toggle to compare Diluted vs. Basic EPS
Regression Window: Adjust how many bars are used to fit the trendline
Interpretation Tips
A rising trendline indicates earnings momentum and potential investor confidence.
A flat or declining trendline may warn of profitability slowdowns.
Combine with price action or valuation ratios (like P/E) for deeper analysis.
Works best on stocks or ETFs with fundamental data (not available for crypto or FX).
Suggestions / Use Cases
Pair with Price/Earnings ratio indicators to evaluate valuation vs. fundamentals.
Use in conjunction with earnings release events for context.
Ideal for long-term investors, swing traders, or fundamental quants tracking financial health trends.
Future Enhancements (Planned Ideas)
🔹 Option to display multiple regression lines (short-term and long-term)
🔹 Support for comparing multiple tickers’ EPS in the same pane
🔹 Integration with Net Income, Revenue, or Free Cash Flow trends
🔹 Add a “Rate of Change” signal for momentum-based EPS analysis
Customized Double Bollinger Bands [wjdtks255]This indicator combines two Bollinger Bands to visualize both short-term and extreme volatility zones on the same chart.
While a standard Bollinger Band shows how far price deviates from its mean,
this customized version displays two standard deviation ranges, allowing traders to distinguish between mild and extreme volatility conditions.
Band 1 (StdDev 0.5) captures short-term fluctuations near the price average,
while Band 2 (StdDev 3.0) highlights overbought or oversold conditions at market extremes.
When the distance between the two bands widens, volatility is increasing;
when it narrows, the market is stabilizing or preparing for a breakout.
ㆍPrice breaking above Band 2 → Potential overbought or strong bullish trend
ㆍPrice falling below Band 2 → Possible oversold or bearish continuation
ㆍBands tightening → Volatility compression, potential reversal zone
This indicator is designed primarily for volatility visualization rather than directional prediction.
For higher accuracy, use it alongside RSI, MACD, or trend-based indicators.

Step 2: Reading the Dashboard
Before taking any trade, check the dashboard:
Trend: Only take LONG signals in bullish trends, SHORT signals in bearish trends
Position: Confirm price is on the correct side of EMAs
Volume: Green spike = strong confirmation
RSI: Avoid extremes (>70 or <30)
Confluence: "Strong" = high probability setup
Separation: "Good" = trending market, avoid "Low" separation
Step 3: Trade Entry
For LONG Trades:
Wait for green triangle to appear below price
Verify dashboard shows:
Bullish or Neutral trend
Volume spike (preferred)
RSI between 50-70
Good separation
Enter at market or on next bar

1st 4H Candle [ApexFX]Overview
This indicator identifies the very first 4-hour candle of the trading day and plots its high and low as horizontal lines. These levels are designed to act as key support and resistance for the rest of the 24-hour session.
The lines are calculated using 4-hour data but display on any timeframe, allowing you to see these key daily levels while trading on lower timeframes like the 15-minute or 5-minute chart. The lines extend for the first six 4-hour candles (24 hours) before stopping.
Features
Flexible Timezone: A simple dropdown menu to select your local timezone (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "UTC") to ensure the candle is always correctly identified.
Asset Presets: Instantly set the correct start time for major asset classes:
Forex (23:00)
Indices (00:00)
Crypto (21:00)
Fully Custom: A "Custom" option lets you define any hour and minute for the start of your session, giving you full control for other assets like Gold or Oil.
Custom Colors: Change the color of the high and low lines from the settings menu.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the indicator's "Settings".
In the "Your Timezone" dropdown, select the same timezone you use for your chart (e.g., "America/New_York").
In the "Asset Type Preset" dropdown, choose the asset you are trading (e.g., "Indices").
The indicator will wait for the first 4-hour candle (e.g., the 00:00 candle for Indices) to close, and then it will automatically draw the high and low lines.
