Median Price RSI DeviationThis indicator is a smoothed RSI-based trend filter that combines median price smoothing, customizable moving averages, and standard deviation bands to identify bullish or bearish conditions:
=> It first smooths price using a median filter.
=> Then it calculates RSI on that smoothed price.
=> The RSI is further smoothed using a selectable moving average (e.g., DEMA, EMA).
=> Standard deviation bands are applied around this smoothed RSI.
Signals:
=> A bullish signal is triggered when the upper band exceeds a long threshold (default 50).
=> A bearish signal occurs when the smoothed RSI drops below a short threshold (default 40).
Volatility
Custom Opening Range Breakout (IST)This indicator allows you to define your own Opening Range (OR) window based on Indian Standard Time (IST),
calculate breakout levels above and below the range with a custom percentage buffer,
and plot the OR and breakout levels clearly on your intraday charts.
Tremor Tracker [theUltimator5]Tremor Tracker is a volatility monitoring tool that visualizes the "tremors" of price action by measuring and analyzing the average volatility of the current trading range, working on any timeframe. This indicator is designed to help traders detect when the market is calm, when volatility is building, and when it enters a potentially unstable or explosive state by using a lookback period to determine the average volatility and highlights outliers.
🔍 What It Does
Calculates bar-level volatility as the percentage difference between the high and low of each candle.
Applies a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) to smooth out short-term noise and highlight trends in volatility.
Compares current volatility to its long-term average over a configurable lookback period.
Dynamically colors each volatility bar based on how extreme it is relative to historical behavior:
🟢 Lime — Low volatility (subdued, ranging conditions)
🟡 Yellow — Moderate or building volatility
🟣 Fuchsia — Elevated or explosive volatility
⚙️ Customizable Settings
Low Volatility Limit and High Volatility Limit: Define the thresholds for color changes based on volatility's ratio to its average.
Volatility MA Length: Adjust the smoothing period for the volatility moving average.
Average Volatility Lookback: Set how many bars are used to calculate the long-term average.
MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, or WMA for smoothing.
Show Volatility MA Line?: Toggle the display of the smoothed volatility trendline.
Show Raw Volatility Bars?: Toggle the display of raw per-bar volatility with dynamic coloring.
🧠 Use Cases
Identify breakout conditions: When volatility spikes above average, it may signal the onset of a new trend or a news-driven breakout.
Avoid chop zones: Prolonged periods of low volatility often precede sharp moves — a classic “calm before the storm” setup.
Timing reversion trades: Detect overextended conditions when volatility is well above historical norms.
Adapt strategies by volatility regime: Use color feedback to adjust risk, position sizing, or strategy selection based on real-time conditions.
📌 Notes
Volatility is expressed as a percentage, making this indicator suitable for use across different timeframes and asset classes.
The tool is designed to be visually intuitive, so traders can quickly spot evolving volatility states without diving into raw numbers.
Smart Adaptive MACDAn advanced MACD variant that dynamically adapts to market volatility using ATR-based scaling.
Key Features:
Volatility-sensitive MACD and Signal lengths
Optional smoothed MACD line
Dynamic histogram heatmap (strong vs. weak momentum)
Built-in Regular and Hidden Divergence detection
Clear visual signals via solid (regular) and dashed (hidden) divergence lines
What makes this different:
Unlike traditional MACD indicators with fixed-length settings, this version adapts in real time
to changing volatility conditions. It shortens during high-momentum environments for faster
reaction, and lengthens during low-volatility phases to reduce noise. This allows better
alignment with market behavior and cleaner momentum signals.
Divergence Detection – How It Works
The Smart Adaptive MACD detects both regular and hidden divergences by comparing price action with the smoothed MACD line. It uses recent pivot highs and lows to evaluate divergence and draws lines on the chart when conditions are met.
Regular Divergence Detection
This type of divergence signals potential reversals. It occurs when the price moves in one
direction while the MACD moves in the opposite.
Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price makes lower lows, but MACD makes higher lows.
Result: A solid green line is plotted beneath the MACD curve.
Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price makes higher highs, but MACD makes lower highs.
Result: A solid red line is plotted above the MACD curve.
Hidden Divergence Detection
This type of divergence signals trend continuation. It occurs when price pulls back slightly,
but the MACD shows deeper movement in the opposite direction.
Bullish Hidden Divergence:
Price makes higher lows, but MACD makes lower lows.
Result: A dashed green line is plotted below the MACD curve.
Bearish Hidden Divergence:
Price makes lower highs, but MACD makes higher highs.
Result: A dashed red line is plotted above the MACD curve.
How to Use:
This tool is best used alongside price structure, key support/resistance levels, or as a
secondary confirmation for your trend or reversal strategy. It is designed to enhance your
interpretation of market momentum and divergence without needing extra chart clutter.

Dual median smoothing to stabilize trend foundation without introducing moving average lag
Raw positive and negative deviation tracking for pure momentum extraction
Dynamic upper and lower breakout bands scaled by standard deviation
Independent band multipliers to fine-tune breakout sensitivity
This setup highlights powerful breakouts when price meaningfully separates from its balanced median behavior — helping traders capture early trend movements, volatility expansions, and structural shifts with minimal smoothing and no hidden moving averages.
Candle coloring responds directly to breakout status, using vibrant electric blue and red for immediate visual clarity on the chart.
Liquidity Trap Reversal Pro (Radar v2)Liquidity Trap Reversal Pro (Radar v2) is a non-repainting indicator designed to detect hidden liquidity traps at key swing highs and lows. It combines wick analysis, volume spike detection, and optional trend and exhaustion filters to identify high-probability reversal setups.
🔷 Features:
Non-Repainting: Pivots confirmed after lookback period, no future leaking.
Volume Spike Detection: Filters traps that occur during major liquidity events.
EMA Trend Filter (Optional): Focus on traps aligned with the prevailing trend.

Use Confirmed Signals for Best Entries:
Confirmed traps fire only after price moves opposite to the trap direction, adding reliability.
Use Trend Filters to Improve Accuracy:
In an uptrend (price above EMA), prefer Trap Lows (buy setups).
In a downtrend (price below EMA), prefer Trap Highs (sell setups).
Use the Exhaustion Guard to Avoid Bad Trades:
This filter blocks signals when price has moved too far from trend, helping avoid late entries.
Recommended Settings:
Best used on 15-minute, 1-hour, or 4-hour charts.
Trend filter ON for trending markets.
Exhaustion guard ON for volatile or stretched markets.
📈 Important Notes:

Traders need this because it’s a complete, original system that blends accessibility, sophistication, and style. It’s your edge to trade smarter, not harder, in a market full of traps and imitators.
1. Divergence Detection (Core Signal Logic)
The strategy’s core is its ability to detect bullish and bearish divergences between price and On-Balance Volume (OBV), pinpointing reversals with surgical accuracy.
How It Works:
Price Slope: Uses linear regression over a lookback (default: 9 bars) to measure price momentum (priceSlope).
OBV Slope: OBV tracks volume flow (+volume if price rises, -volume if falls), with its slope calculated similarly (obvSlope).
Bullish Divergence: Price slope negative (falling), OBV slope positive (rising), and price above 50-bar SMA (trend_ma).
Bearish Divergence: Price slope positive (rising), OBV slope negative (falling), and price below 50-bar SMA.
Smoothing: Requires two consecutive divergence bars (bullDiv2, bearDiv2) to confirm signals, reducing false positives.
Strength: Divergence intensity (divStrength = |priceSlope * obvSlope| * sensitivity) is normalized (0–1, divStrengthNorm) for visuals.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Divergences catch hidden momentum shifts, often exploited by institutions, giving you an edge on reversals.
- The 50-bar SMA filter aligns signals with the broader trend, avoiding choppy markets.
- Adjustable lookback (min: 3) and sensitivity (default: 1.0) let you tune for different instruments or timeframes.
2. Filters for Precision
Four advanced filters ensure signals are high-probability and market-aligned, cutting through the noise of volatile futures.
Z-Score Filter:
Logic: Calculates z-score ((close - SMA) / stdev) over a lookback (default: 50 bars). Blocks entries if |z-score| > threshold (default: 1.5) unless disabled (useZFilter = false).
Impact: Avoids trades during extreme price moves (e.g., blow-off tops), keeping you in statistically safe zones.
ATR Percentile Volatility Filter:
Logic: Tracks 14-bar ATR in a 100-bar window (default). Requires current ATR > 80th percentile (percATR) to trade (tradeOk).
Impact: Ensures sufficient volatility for meaningful moves, filtering out low-volume chop.
Multi-Timeframe (HTF) Trend Filter:
Logic: Uses a 50-bar SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 60min). Longs require price > HTF MA (bullTrendOK), shorts < HTF MA (bearTrendOK).
Impact: Aligns trades with the bigger trend, reducing counter-trend losses.
US Session Filter:
Logic: Restricts trading to 9:30am–4:00pm ET (default: enabled, useSession = true) using America/New_York timezone.
Impact: Focuses on high-liquidity hours, avoiding overnight spreads and erratic moves.
Evolution:
- These filters create a robust signal pipeline, ensuring trades are timed for optimal conditions.
- Customizable inputs (e.g., zThreshold, atrPercentile) let traders adapt to their style without compromising quality.
3. Risk Management
The strategy’s risk controls are a masterclass in balancing aggression and safety, protecting capital in volatile markets.
Daily Loss Kill Switch:
Logic: Tracks daily loss (dayStartEquity - strategy.equity). Halts trading if loss ≥ $300 (default) and enabled (killSwitch = true, killSwitchActive).
Impact: Caps daily downside, crucial during events like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
Rolling Drawdown Kill Switch:
Logic: Monitors drawdown (rollingPeak - strategy.equity) over 100 bars (default). Stops trading if > $1000 (rollingKill).
Impact: Prevents prolonged losing streaks, preserving capital for better setups.
Dynamic Stop-Loss and Take-Profit:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * multiplier (default: 1.0x, stopDist). TPs = entry ± ATR * 1.5x (profitDist). Longs: stop below, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Adapts to volatility, keeping stops tight but realistic, with TPs targeting 1.5:1 reward/risk.
Max Bars in Trade:
Logic: Closes trades after 8 bars (default) if not already exited.
Impact: Frees capital from stagnant trades, maintaining efficiency.
Kill Switch Buffer Dashboard:
Logic: Shows smallest buffer ($300 - daily loss or $1000 - rolling DD). Displays 0 (red) if kill switch active, else buffer (green).
Impact: Real-time risk visibility, letting traders adjust dynamically.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Kill switches and ATR-based exits create a safety net, rare in generic scripts.
- Customizable risk inputs (maxDailyLoss, dynamicStopMult) suit different account sizes.
- Buffer metric empowers disciplined trading, a DAFE signature.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are precise, filtered, and adaptive, ensuring trades are deliberate and profitable.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: bullDiv2, cooldown passed (canSignal), ATR filter passed (tradeOk), in US session (inSession), no kill switches (not killSwitchActive, not rollingKill), z-score OK (zOk), HTF trend bullish (bullTrendOK), no existing long (lastDirection != 1, position_size <= 0). Closes shorts first.
Short Entry: Same, but for bearDiv2, bearTrendOK, no long (lastDirection != -1, position_size >= 0). Closes longs first.
Adaptive Cooldown: Default 2 bars (cooldownBars). Doubles (up to 10) after a losing trade, resets after wins (dynamicCooldown).
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Set per trade (ATR-based). Exits on stop/TP hits.
Other Exits: Closes if maxBarsInTrade reached, ATR filter fails, or kill switch activates.
Position Management: Ensures no conflicting positions, closing opposites before new entries.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Multi-filtered entries minimize false signals, a stark contrast to basic scripts.
- Adaptive cooldown prevents overtrading, especially after losses.
- Clean position handling ensures smooth execution, even in fast markets.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are a DAFE hallmark, blending function with clean flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Aurora Bands:
Display: Bands around price during divergences (bullish: below low, bearish: above high), sized by ATR * bandwidth (default: 0.5).
Colors: Aqua (bullish), fuchsia (bearish), with transparency tied to divStrengthNorm.
Purpose: Highlights divergence zones with a glowing, futuristic vibe.
Divergence Orbs:
Display: Large/small circles (aqua below for bullish, fuchsia above for bearish) when bullDiv2/bearDiv2 and canSignal. Labels show strength (0–1).
Purpose: Pinpoints entries with eye-catching clarity.
Gradient Background:
Display: Green (bullish), red (bearish), or gray (neutral), 90–95% transparent.
Purpose: Sets the market mood without clutter.
Strategy Plots:
- Stop/TP Lines: Red (stops), green (TPs) for active trades.
- HTF MA: Yellow line for trend context.
- Z-Score: Blue step-line (if enabled).
- Kill Switch Warning: Red background flash when active.
What Makes This Next-Level?:
- Visuals make complex signals (divergences, filters) instantly clear, even for beginners.
- DAFE’s unique aesthetic (orbs, bands) sets it apart from generic scripts, reinforcing originality.
- Functional plots (stops, TPs) enhance trade management.
6. Metrics Dashboard
The top-right dashboard (2x8 table) is your command center, delivering real-time insights.
Metrics:
Daily Loss ($): Current loss vs. day’s start, red if > $300.
Rolling DD ($): Drawdown vs. 100-bar peak, red if > $1000.

Quantum UT BOT Trend Screener by MrCryptoBTCQuantum UT BOT Trend Screener by MrCryptoBTC (NOT FOR SELL - FREE)
The Quantum UT BOT Trend Screener by MrCryptoBTC powered by the UT BOT by Yo_adriiiiaan is designed to help traders identify market trends and manage trades using a dynamic trailing stop based on Average True Range (ATR) and key value sensitivity. It provides real-time trend analysis, buy/sell signals, and alerts to enhance your trading strategy.
Inputs:
* Key Value (Sensitivity): Controls the sensitivity of the trailing stop. A higher value results in a more responsive trailing stop to market movements.
* ATR Period: Defines the number of periods used to calculate the Average True Range (ATR), helping to measure market volatility.
Recommended Timeframe:
* The Quantum UT BOT Trend Screener is best used on higher timeframes, such as 1-hour (H1), 4-hour (H4), or daily (D1) charts. These timeframes allow for more reliable trend identification and reduce the noise present in lower timeframes.
How it Works:
* Trailing Stop Calculation: The trailing stop adjusts dynamically based on market volatility, with its distance determined by the ATR and key value. It tracks the price, moving upwards during an uptrend and downwards during a downtrend, locking in profits as the market moves in your favor.
* Trend Detection:
* Uptrend: When the price crosses above the trailing stop, indicating upward momentum.
* Downtrend: When the price crosses below the trailing stop, signaling downward movement.
* Neutral: When the price remains within the trailing stop range, indicating no clear trend.
Features:
1. Trend Label: Displays the current trend on the chart (Uptrend, Downtrend, or Neutral).
2. Dashboard Table: Shows the currency pair and its trend status on the top-right corner of the chart.
3. Trailing Stop Plot: Visually represents the trailing stop on the chart in green (uptrend), red (downtrend), or blue (neutral).
4. Buy/Sell Signals: Generates buy and sell signals when the price crosses the trailing stop.
* Buy: Triggered when the price crosses above the trailing stop.
* Sell: Triggered when the price crosses below the trailing stop.
5. Bar Color: The bar color changes to green for uptrends and red for downtrends, visually representing the market condition.
6. Alerts: Receive alerts when:
* A buy signal is triggered.
* A sell signal is triggered.
* An uptrend is detected.
* A downtrend is detected.
Use Case:
Ideal for swing traders, trend-following strategies, or anyone looking to spot and follow key trend changes in the market. This indicator offers clear visual signals and real-time alerts, helping traders stay in profitable trends and avoid false breakouts.
Multi-Pair Screening: Pine Script is limited to the current chart’s pair. For multi-pair screening, apply the script to multiple charts or use TradingView’s built-in screener with similar ATR-based criteria.
Trend Sensitivity: Adjust key value for tighter or looser trailing stops. Lower values increase sensitivity.
Timeframes: Test on various timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) to suit your trading style.

RVOL Relative Volume – Intraday (v5 with Zones)RVOL Relative Volume – Intraday (v4)
Traffic light colour system allows Trade/No trade decision making at a glance!
Quickly spot the volume spikes that matter on your intraday charts
What it is
This indicator measures the current bar’s volume against its historical average for the same minute-of-day over the past N_ days. It helps you see at a glance whether today’s volume is below average, “cautionary,” or truly elevated—so you can focus only on the bars that matter for high-probability setups.
How it works
1.Historical buffer
Collects cumulative volume for each minute-of-day across the last N_ full trading days (plus the current session).
2.Relative Volume (rvol)
rvol = (volume so far this minute) / (average volume seen at this minute over prior N days).
3.Color coding
-Red (bar skipped) = rvol < 0.60 × average
-Yellow (caution) = 0.60 ≤ rvol < 1.25 × average
-Green (go) = rvol ≥ 1.25 × average
How to use
-Green bars are your actionable volume spikes—ideal for entries on breakouts, reversals, or key levels.
-Yellow bars flag mild pickup in activity—treat them as “watch and wait.”
-Red bars indicate low-interest periods; best to sit out until volume returns.
Inputs
Lookback Days (N) – how many prior full trading days to average (1–60).
DST Adjustment – ±1 if daylight-saving shift occurred last weekend (usually 0).
Display
Plots a histogram of rvol in its own pane.
Horizontal guides at 1.0× (average) and 2.0×.
Why it’s useful
Filters out noise during thin volume periods.
Highlights true “fuel injection” moments.
Works on any intraday timeframe (1 min–<1 day).

Strategy Components
1. Market Regime Detection
The strategy’s brain is its ability to classify market conditions into five regimes, ensuring signals match the environment.
How It Works:
Trending (Regime 1): ADX > 20, fast/slow EMA spread > 0.3x ATR, HTF RSI > 50 or MACD bullish (htf_trend_bull/bear).
Range (Regime 2): ADX < 25, price range < 3% of close, no HTF trend.
Volatile (Regime 3): BB width > 1.5x avg, ATR > 1.2x avg, HTF RSI overbought/oversold.
Quiet (Regime 4): BB width < 0.8x avg, ATR < 0.9x avg.
Other (Regime 5): Default for unclear conditions.
Indicators: ADX (14), BB width (20), ATR (14, 50-bar SMA), HTF RSI (14, daily default), HTF MACD (12,26,9).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Regime detection adapts signals to market context, boosting win rates in trending or volatile conditions.
HTF RSI/MACD add a big-picture filter, rare in basic scripts.
Visualized via gradient background (green for Trending, orange for Range, red for Volatile, gray for Quiet, navy for Other).
2. Multi-Factor Signal Scoring
Entries are driven by a weighted scoring system that combines candlestick patterns, trend, momentum, and volume for robust signals.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish: Engulfing (0.5), hammer (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), morning star (0.2), piercing (0.2), double bottom (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near support (low ≤ 1.01x 20-bar low) with volume spike (>1.5x 20-bar avg).
Bearish: Engulfing (0.5), shooting star (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), evening star (0.2), dark cloud (0.2), double top (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near resistance (high ≥ 0.99x 20-bar high) with volume spike.
Logic: Patterns are weighted higher in specific regimes (e.g., hammer in Range, double bottom in Volatile).
Additional Factors:
Trend: Fast EMA (20) > slow EMA (50) + 0.5x ATR (trend_bull, +0.2); opposite for trend_bear.
RSI: RSI (14) < 30 (rsi_bull, +0.15); > 70 (rsi_bear, +0.15).
MACD: MACD line > signal (12,26,9, macd_bull, +0.15); opposite for macd_bear.
Volume: ATR > 1.2x 50-bar avg (vol_expansion, +0.1).
HTF Confirmation: HTF RSI < 70 and MACD bullish (htf_bull_confirm, +0.2); RSI > 30 and MACD bearish (htf_bear_confirm, +0.2).
Scoring:
bull_score = sum of bullish factors; bear_score = sum of bearish. Entry requires score ≥ 1.0.
Example: Bullish engulfing (0.5) + trend_bull (0.2) + rsi_bull (0.15) + htf_bull_confirm (0.2) = 1.05, triggers long.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Multi-factor scoring ensures signals are confirmed by multiple market dynamics, reducing false positives.
Regime-specific weights make patterns more relevant (e.g., hammers shine in Range markets).
HTF confirmation aligns with the big picture, a quant edge over simplistic scripts.
3. Futures-Tuned Risk Management
The risk system is built for futures, calculating position sizes based on $ risk and offering flexible stops/TPs.
Position Sizing:
Logic: Risk per trade (default: $300) ÷ (stop distance in points * point value) = contracts, capped at max_contracts (default: 5). Point value = tick value (e.g., $12.5 for ES) * ticks per point (4) * contract multiplier (1 for ES, 0.1 for MES).
Example: $300 risk, 8-point stop, ES ($50/point) → 0.75 contracts, rounded to 1.
Impact: Precise sizing prevents over-leverage, critical for micro contracts like MES.
Stops and Take-Profits:
Fixed: Default stop = 8 points, TP = 16 points (2:1 reward/risk).
ATR-Based: Stop = 1.5x ATR (default), TP = 3x ATR, enabled via use_atr_for_stops.
Logic: Stops set at swing low/high ± stop distance; TPs at 2x stop distance from entry.
Impact: ATR stops adapt to volatility, while fixed stops suit stable markets.
Trailing Stops:
Logic: Activates at 50% of TP distance. Trails at close ± 1.5x ATR (atr_multiplier). Longs: max(trail_stop_long, close - ATR * 1.5); shorts: min(trail_stop_short, close + ATR * 1.5).
Impact: Locks in profits during trends, a game-changer in volatile sessions.
Circuit Breaker:
Logic: Pauses trading if daily drawdown > 5% (daily_drawdown = (max_equity - equity) / max_equity).
Impact: Protects capital during black swan events (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES slippage).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Futures-specific inputs (tick value, multiplier) make it plug-and-play for ES/MES.
Trailing stops and circuit breaker add pro-level safety, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.
Flexible stops (ATR or fixed) suit different trading styles.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
Entries and exits are precise, driven by bull_score/bear_score and protected by drawdown checks.
Entry Conditions:
Long: bull_score ≥ 1.0, no position (position_size <= 0), drawdown < 5% (not pause_trading). Calculates contracts, sets stop at swing low - stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Short: bear_score ≥ 1.0, position_size >= 0, drawdown < 5%. Stop at swing high + stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Logic: Tracks entry_regime for PNL arrays. Closes opposite positions before entering.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Hits stop or TP (strategy.exit).
Trailing Stop: Activates at 50% TP, trails by ATR * 1.5.
Emergency Exit: Closes if price breaches stop (close < long_stop_price or close > short_stop_price).
Reset: Clears stop/TP prices when flat (position_size = 0).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Score-based entries ensure multi-factor confirmation, filtering out weak signals.
Trailing stops maximize profits in trends, unlike static exits in basic scripts.
Emergency exits add an extra safety layer, critical for futures volatility.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending function with cyberpunk flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Shimmering Bollinger Band Fill:
Display: BB basis (20, white), upper/lower (green/red, 45% transparent). Fill pulses (30–50 alpha) by regime, with glow (60–95 alpha) near bands (close ≥ 0.995x upper or ≤ 1.005x lower).
Purpose: Highlights volatility and key levels with a futuristic glow.
Visuals make complex regimes and signals instantly clear, even for newbies.
Pulsing effects and regime-specific colors add a DAFE signature, setting it apart from generic scripts.
BB glow emphasizes tradeable levels, enhancing decision-making.
Chart Background (Regime Heatmap):
Green — Trending Market: Strong, sustained price movement in one direction. The market is in a trend phase—momentum follows through.
Orange — Range-Bound: Market is consolidating or moving sideways, with no clear up/down trend. Great for mean reversion setups.
Red — Volatile Regime: High volatility, heightened risk, and larger/faster price swings—trade with caution.
Gray — Quiet/Low Volatility: Market is calm and inactive, with small moves—often poor conditions for most strategies.
Navy — Other/Neutral: Regime is uncertain or mixed; signals may be less reliable.
Bollinger Bands Glow (Dynamic Fill):
Neon Red Glow — Warning!: Price is near or breaking above the upper band; momentum is overstretched, watch for overbought conditions or reversals.
Bright Green Glow — Opportunity!: Price is near or breaking below the lower band; market could be oversold, prime for bounce or reversal.
Trend Green Fill — Trending Regime: Fills between bands with green when the market is trending, showing clear momentum.
Gold/Yellow Fill — Range Regime: Fills with gold/aqua in range conditions, showing the market is sideways/oscillating.
Magenta/Red Fill — Volatility Spike: Fills with vivid magenta/red during highly volatile regimes.
Blue Fill — Neutral/Quiet: A soft blue glow for other or uncertain market states.
Moving Averages:
Display: Blue fast EMA (20), red slow EMA (50), 2px.
Purpose: Shows trend direction, with trend_dir requiring ATR-scaled spread.
Dynamic SL/TP Lines:
Display: Pulsing colors (red SL, green TP for Trending; yellow/orange for Range, etc.), 3px, with pulse_alpha for shimmer.
Purpose: Tracks stops/TPs in real-time, color-coded by regime.
6. Dual Dashboards

Lunchtime LullThe ability to understand when not to trade into the market. According to ICT, this is considered called the Lunchtime Lull.
Equity Hedge AlertFind momentum stocks, and use options to hedge. Best in high volatility scenarios.
ADR % (Fixed Top Middle, Maroon Font)ADR % label . This shows the stock's ADR (Average Daily Range) in % as digits right above your chart without creating any clutter.
Smart Breakout with ATR Stop-LossThe Smart Breakout indicator combines a classic 20-day Donchian channel breakout with a tight trailing stop, drawing green lines and “ENTRY” labels at the bar after a valid breakout, and red lines and “EXIT” label at the bar after a stop-loss breach.
By default it uses the chart’s timeframe to compute ATR and stops, but you can flip on Daily lock to freeze both ATR and price reads at the daily resolution—so your stops stay the same whether you view at 1s, 15 m, 4h or lower frequency bars.
Key features:
20-day Donchian breakout: entry when price closes above the highest high of the previous 20 bars
2 × ATR(14) trailing stop: initialized at entry and raised only when the new (close – 2 × ATR) exceeds the prior stop
Daily lock option: Ensures all ATR and close values are calculated on the daily timeframe, keeping stop levels consistent across resolutions

KeyLevelsPivotsIndicator Name: Key Levels with Pivots
This indicator identifies key support and resistance levels using pivot high and pivot low values derived from TradingView’s built-in functions (ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow). When a new pivot is detected, the indicator checks if a similar level—within a specified percentage threshold (for example, ±1%) of the pivot value—already exists. If no such level is present, a horizontal line is drawn at that pivot level.
The drawn level extends to the right, automatically updating until one of two conditions occurs:
A breakout takes place—defined as the price moving beyond the level by the specified percentage—and then the level is fixed (truncated) at the bar where the breakout occurred.
The level reaches a maximum age (expressed in bars, e.g., 750 bars for a daily timeframe which approximates 3 years). In this case, the level is fixed at that maximum age.
Once fixed, the level no longer updates, allowing traders to view historically significant support and resistance levels from today's date up to approximately three years back. Additionally, the indicator prevents the re-plotting of a level if a similar level already exists within the defined percentage threshold, thereby avoiding duplicate reflections of the same level unless a breakout occurs.

Market Structure Confluence [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script is called "Market Structure Confluence" and it combines classic market structure analysis with a dynamic volatility-based band system to detect shifts in trend and momentum more reliably. It tracks key swing points (higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, lower lows) to define the trend, then overlays a basis and ATR-smoothed volatility bands to catch rejection signals and highlight potential inflection points in the market.
CONCEPTS
Market structure is the foundation of price action trading, focusing on the relationship between successive highs and lows to understand trend conditions. Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) events are important because they signal when a market might be shifting direction. This script enhances traditional structure by integrating volatility bands, which act like dynamic support/resistance zones based on ATR, allowing it to capture momentum surges and rejections beyond just structural shifts.
FEATURES
Swing Detection: It detects and labels Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL) based on user-defined time horizons, helping traders quickly spot the trend direction.
BOS and CHoCH Lines: When a previous swing point is broken, the script automatically plots a Break of Structure (BOS) line. If the break represents a major trend reversal (a CHoCH), it is marked differently to separate simple breakouts from real trend changes.
Rejection Signals: Special arrows plot when price pierces a band and then pulls back, suggesting a potential trap move or rejection signal in the direction of the new structure.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for structure breaks, CHoCHs, swing points, rejections at bands, and trend flips make it easy to automate setups without manually watching the chart.
USAGE
Set your preferred swing detection size depending on your timeframe and trading style — smaller numbers for intraday, larger numbers for swing trading. Choose whether you want BOS/CHoCH confirmed by candle closes or by wick breaks. Use the volatility band settings to fine-tune how tightly or loosely the bands hug the price, adjusting sensitivity based on market conditions. When a BOS or CHoCH occurs, or when a rejection happens at the bands, the script will highlight it clearly and optionally trigger alerts. Watch for combinations where both structure breaks and volatility band rejections happen together — those are high-quality trade signals. This setup works best when used with basic trend filtering and higher timeframe confirmation.
Volatility Breakout StrategyThis strategy captures volatility breakouts following periods of low ATR compression.
It waits for the ATR relative to price to drop below a threshold, then enters a long or short position once price breaks out by more than a multiple of the ATR.
Dynamic trailing stops based on ATR are used to protect profits.
Works best on volatile instruments (e.g., TSLA) on 15-minute charts or similar intraday timeframes.
