Accumulation And Distribution Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Accumulation And Distribution Zones (Zeiierman) is a structural zone indicator that highlights where the market has recently been absorbing sell pressure (Accumulation) or releasing buy pressure (Distribution).
The indicator tracks a refined sequence of swing highs and lows and measures how these swings tighten, expand, or step directionally. When they form staircase-style structures such as higher lows with compressing highs for Accumulation or lower highs with compressing lows for Distribution, the script marks these areas as shifts in market control.
Once the full pattern completes, the indicator converts it into an Accumulation or Distribution zone. Each zone is based on a confirmed structural sequence rather than a single point, making it more reliable and reflective of actual market behavior.
The indicator can also display a mini-volume profile within each zone and extend POC levels forward, showing where trading activity clustered most. Combined, these features reveal areas where price has recently shown acceptance, absorption, or rejection, helping you understand whether current price action is reacting to, breaking from, or retesting these important structural regions.
█ How It Works
⚪ Swing Structure
The indicator builds its foundation by detecting swing highs and lows using a configurable Swing Detection Window. Each confirmed swing is stored with its price, time, bar index, and direction. If two consecutive swings share the same direction, only the more extreme one is kept. This produces a clean structural sequence that removes noise and keeps only meaningful turning points.
⚪ Accumulation vs Distribution Pattern Logic
Using the refined swing sequence, the script looks for staircase-style formations that signal shifts in control:
Accumulation (bottoming): higher lows combined with compressing highs.
Distribution (topping): lower highs combined with compressing lows.
Two detection modes are available:
Quick for compact 4-swing formations
Slow for broader 6-swing structures
When a full structural pattern completes, the indicator marks the zone and resets the swing buffer for the next formation.
⚪ Volume Profile Construction
The price range between the zone’s upper and lower boundary is divided into several Rows. For every bar within the zone’s swing range, the bar’s volume is added to the appropriate price row.
Volume is classified as:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close < open
Each row is drawn as two horizontal segments (bull and bear), colored with smooth gradients based on your bull/bear color settings. This creates a compact profile that reveals where trading activity is concentrated inside the zone and whether buyers or sellers dominate those price levels.
█ How to Use
The indicator is designed to provide context and confluence, not raw buy/sell signals.
⚪ Spot Fresh Accumulation & Distribution
Use newly printed zones as a map of where the market has recently:
Absorbed selling and formed a floor (Accumulation below price).
Absorbed buying and formed a cap (Distribution above price).
In a trending environment, fresh accumulation zones below price are often areas to watch for pullbacks, while distribution zones above price can act as sell zones or targets.
⚪ Volume Profile
Longer horizontal bars show where the market traded the most volume inside the zone.
Bull-leaning rows inside an accumulation zone often signal strong buying interest during the formation.
Bear-leaning rows inside a distribution zone highlight concentrated selling pressure.
By combining this volume distribution with the zone label and the broader trend context, you can judge whether the structure is more likely to hold, break, or retest as the price approaches it again.
⚪ POC (Point of Control) Trading
Extended POC zones (Regular or Faded) can be treated as dynamic support/resistance rails:
When price revisits a prior accumulation POC and rejects it from above, the level may act as support. When price retests a distribution POC from below and fails to break through, it can act as resistance.
⚪ Combine with Your Own Strategy
The script does not decide direction for you. You get the most value by combining it with:
Your own trend filters (moving averages, higher timeframe structure, volatility measures).
Your preferred entry models (reversal candles, momentum breaks, liquidity grabs, etc.).
Higher-timeframe mapping.
Think of this tool as a map of where the market did meaningful business. You decide how to trade around those areas.
█ Settings
Acc/Dist Ranges – Master switch for drawing all Accumulation and Distribution zones. Turn this off to temporarily hide boxes while leaving supporting logic active.
Pattern – Shows or hides the swing-based pattern outline that formed each zone. Good for structural debugging and education.
Pattern Sensitivity
Quick – more responsive, detects smaller compact structures.
Slow – stricter, focuses on wider and more established zones.
Swing Detection Window – Pivot width used to confirm swing highs and lows. Larger values filter noise and produce bigger zones; smaller values pick up more minor structures.
Volume Profile – Enables the embedded volume profile inside each zone.
Rows – Number of price slices used to aggregate volume in the zone. Higher values give more detail but increase visual density.
Switch Order – Flips the horizontal order of bull vs bear volume segments within each row.
Extend Zones – Behaviour of POC and zone extension:
None – No forward extension.
Faded Zones – Store and draw up to four past POC zones as faded horizontal levels.
Regular Zones – Extend POC boxes forward until price breaks out.

Volume
Momentum + Volume Percentile
This advanced momentum indicator combines smoothed momentum analysis with percentile-based volume filtering to identify high-quality trading opportunities backed by significant market participation.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates momentum (rate of change) over a customizable period and applies multiple smoothing techniques to reduce noise. It then filters price action by highlighting only periods where volume exceeds a specified percentile threshold.
The algorithm:
Calculates raw momentum based on price changes over the specified period
Applies customizable smoothing (SMA, EMA, WMA, or HMA) to the momentum values
Computes a moving average of the smoothed momentum as a trend reference
Analyzes volume over a lookback period to establish percentile rankings
Highlights candles where volume exceeds the percentile threshold with color-coded backgrounds
Distinguishes between bullish (green) and bearish (red) high-volume events
Pso VP 2.0This indicator provides an advanced volume analysis tool that visualizes trading activity across different price levels and automatically identifies key support and resistance zones.
How It Works:
The Volume Profile analyzes historical price and volume data within a specified lookback period, distributing volume across horizontal price levels. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show volume over time, this tool displays volume at price, revealing where the most significant trading activity has occurred.
The algorithm:
Divides the price range into customizable horizontal bars (bins)
Calculates and accumulates volume for each price level
Identifies high-volume nodes that often act as support or resistance levels
Uses percentile filtering to highlight the most significant trading areas
Key Features:
Automatic S/R Detection: Uses volume percentile filtering to identify the most significant price levels
Dynamic Support/Resistance Lines: Automatically draws horizontal black lines at high-volume areas that typically act as price magnets or barriers
Customizable Parameters: Full control over lookback period, number of price bars, percentile thresholds, profile width, opacity, and line projections

GRAM SCALP_PDH/PDL/P.POC/P.VAL/P.VAH_9/21EMA)This is a simple scalping strategy for futures markets (e.g., MNQ/ES), designed for prop firm challenges that require consistency and good R/R. It focuses on intraday trades during NY session (9:30 ET onward), using bias, EMAs, and key levels from prior Globex session (18:00–17:00 ET).
Goal: Set-and-forget limit orders in bias direction, aiming for small, consistent wins.
Daily Bias (Trend Detection):
Based on the first 15-min candle (9:30–9:45 ET).
If close > open (green): LONG ONLY bias – background shades green, label says "LONG ONLY".
If close < open (red): SHORT ONLY bias – background shades red, label says "SHORT ONLY".
Trade only in bias direction to avoid counter-trend risks. No bias? Sit out.
EMAs for Entries/Confirmation:
9 EMA (orange): Fast line for short-term trend/pullbacks.
21 EMA (purple): Slower line for overall direction.
Entry idea: Wait for price to pull back to 9/21 EMA in bias direction, then enter on bounce/break (e.g., long above EMA on green bias).
Use as dynamic support/resistance – don't trade if price is far from EMAs.
Key Levels from Prior Session (Globex 18:00–17:00 ET):
PDH (Previous Day High): Gray line – potential resistance/target for longs.
PDL (Previous Day Low): Gray line – potential support/target for shorts.
Volume Profile (VP):
POC (Point of Control, orange): Highest volume price – strong magnet; price often returns here.
VAH (Value Area High, fuchsia circles): Top of 70% volume range – resistance; break above = bullish.
VAL (Value Area Low, fuchsia circles): Bottom of 70% volume range – support; break below = bearish.
Use levels for entries (e.g., bounce off VAL for long), stops (behind level), or targets (e.g., aim for POC/VAH).
Trading Rules:
Session: NY open (9:30 ET) to close (16:00 ET). Avoid news/high volatility.
Bias Only: After 9:45 ET, check label/color – trade longs on green, shorts on red.
Entries: Set limit orders at key levels/EMAs in bias direction. E.g., long bias: Buy limit at VAL or EMA pullback.
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: Behind nearest level (e.g., below VAL for long) or fixed 10-20 ticks.
Take Profit: 1:2 risk-reward or at next level (e.g., PDH/POC).
Position Size: 1-2% risk per trade; max 5 trades/day for prop rules.
Exits: Trail with EMAs or exit at EOD. No overnight holds.
Avoid: Choppy markets, gaps through levels, or no clear bias.
Why It Works:
Bias filters bad trades; EMAs confirm momentum; VP/PDH/PDL provide high-probability zones based on where volume/price settled overnight.
Simple, mechanical – ideal for prop challenges (rules on drawdown, consistency).
Backtest on 2-min charts; aim for 60%+ win rate on small scalps (5-20 ticks).
Customize in indicator settings (e.g., VP bin size, line colors). Test on demo before live. Not financial advice – trade at own risk.10 web pages
Professional BOS IndicatorThis is a trend following indicator that focuses on BOS, pullback and entry
BTC Future CME Cross-Market DetectorProject Spec: BTC CME Cross-Market Detector
1. Project Overview
Indicator Name
CME Cross-Market Detector
Objective
To identify high-probability trade setups by detecting and confirming "smart money" activity across two distinct market venues simultaneously: a primary crypto exchange (e.g., Bybit, Binance) and the institutional CME futures market.
Core Philosophy
Price movements are often preceded by the positioning of large, institutional players ("smart money"). While their activity can be seen on any single exchange, the signal becomes exceptionally reliable when the same footprint appears at the same time in both the broader crypto derivatives market and the highly regulated institutional futures market. This dual-market confirmation acts as a powerful noise filter, isolating signals that have a higher probability of follow-through.
2. Key Concepts & Signal Logic
The indicator's entire foundation rests on confirming that specific conditions are met on two datasets at the same time: (1) The user's current chart (e.g., BYBIT:BTCUSDT) and (2) The CME Bitcoin Futures chart (CME:BTC1!).
Smart Volume Analysis
To gauge buying vs. selling pressure, the total volume of a single candle is algorithmically split. This is not a perfect science but an effective estimation based on the candle's structure.
Buying Pressure is considered proportional to the distance the price closed from the low. Buying Pressure ≈ Total Volume × ((Close - Low) / (High - Low))
Selling Pressure is considered proportional to the distance the price closed from the high. Selling Pressure ≈ Total Volume × ((High - Close) / (High - Low))
Signal Trigger Conditions
For a potential signal to be identified on each market independently, two conditions must be met:
Volume Spike: The volume of the current candle must be significantly higher than the recent average volume (e.g., >150% of the 20-period moving average). This shows a sudden, high level of interest.
Pressure Imbalance: The estimated buying pressure must overwhelm the selling pressure by a certain factor (e.g., 3x), or vice versa for a sell signal. This indicates a clear directional intent.
The Final Confirmed Signal
A signal is only considered valid and plotted on the chart when the Signal Trigger Conditions (both Volume Spike and Pressure Imbalance) are met on both the primary chart and the CME chart on the very same candle.
3. Signal Strength Calculation
The percentage shown on the chart is a Signal Strength Score (0-100%), which rates the quality and conviction of the confirmed signal.
The score is calculated as follows:
Base Score Calculation (0-100 points): A base score is calculated for each market (primary and CME) by combining two factors:
Volume Component (0-50 pts): Measures the intensity of the volume spike. A 300% volume spike will score higher than a 150% spike.
Imbalance Component (0-50 pts): Measures the intensity of the buy/sell pressure ratio. A 5x imbalance will score higher than a 3x imbalance.
Advanced Modifiers (Bonus Points): The base score is then enhanced with bonus points for favorable conditions:
Trend Alignment (+10 pts): A buy signal that occurs during a clear uptrend receives extra points.
Candle Structure (+10 pts): A buy signal on a candle with a long lower wick (indicating rejection of lower prices) receives extra points.
Final Averaged Score: The final percentage you see is the average of the two individual strength scores calculated for the primary exchange and the CME market.
4. Visualization
Energy Waves: Signals are displayed as circles. Green for Buy Signals (below the candle) and Red for Sell Signals (above the candle).
Dynamic Sizing: The size of the circle directly reflects the Signal Strength Score, categorized into four distinct levels (e.g., 10%+, 40%+, 60%+, and 80%+) for at-a-glance interpretation.
Percentage Labels: Each signal is plotted with its precise, final strength score for clear analysis.
5. Summary: Steps to Replicate the Logic
To recreate this indicator, follow these high-level steps for each candle on the chart:
Gather Data: Fetch the Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume data for the primary chart asset AND for the corresponding CME Bitcoin Futures symbol (CME:BTC1!).
Calculate Buy/Sell Pressure: For both datasets, use the "Smart Volume Analysis" formula to estimate the buying and selling pressure for the current candle.
Check for Volume Spikes: For both datasets, calculate a simple moving average of the volume. Check if the current candle's volume exceeds this average by a set threshold (e.g., 150%).
Check for Pressure Imbalance: For both datasets, check if the buying pressure is greater than the selling pressure by a set multiplier (e.g., 3.0), or vice versa.
Confirm the Signal: A final signal is only valid if the conditions from both Step 3 and Step 4 are true for both datasets on the same candle.
Calculate Strength: If a signal is confirmed, compute a strength score (0-100) for each dataset based on the intensity of the volume spike and pressure imbalance. Add bonus points for confluence factors like trend alignment.
Finalize and Plot: Average the two strength scores from each market. Plot a colored, sized circle on the chart that visually represents this final averaged score, and display the score as a text label.
Last but not least, the idea of the indicator is inspired by 52SIGNAL
Distância Preço vs VWAPIt calculates the distance from the price to the VWAP. The idea is to make it easier to observe when the price might return to the VWAP.

Volume Pulse [ziksfx]Volume Pulse is a clean volume indicator designed to make it easier to read meaningful changes in activity without cluttering your chart. It enhances the standard volume view by supporting both classic volume and dollar volume , highlighting spikes and extreme bars and adding a compact label on the latest bar so you always see the current volume value at a glance. The script is intended to be used in a separate volume pane.
How it works
– Supports two modes: standard volume or dollar volume (close × volume).
– Colors volume bars by candle direction (up/down). Optionally, it can:
• highlight volume spikes above a moving average;
• mark the highest-volume bar over a user-defined lookback period.
– Plots a simple moving average of volume so you can quickly see when activity is above or below typical levels.
– On the latest bar, shows a small label with the current volume value, automatically abbreviated (K / M / B) and optionally prefixed with “$” in dollar-volume mode.
Inputs & customization
– Volume type: choose between standard volume and dollar volume.
– Volume MA length: controls how sensitive the moving average is to recent changes in activity.
– Spike highlighting: optional, turns on/off coloring for bars where volume exceeds the moving average.
– Highest-volume bar lookback: sets the period for detecting the highest-volume bar.
– Label position: choose whether the last-bar label appears on the left or right side of the bar, and optionally shift it slightly above the bar for better readability.
Use cases
Use Volume Pulse to:
– Spot sudden spikes in volume and compare them to the recent average.
– Identify sessions or candles with unusually high activity relative to a chosen TF.
– Visually study how volume behaves around price moves, breakouts or potential fakeouts to better understand their strength or weakness.
– Keep track of the latest bar’s volume instantly, without having to read the raw scale values.
This indicator works on any symbol that has volume data (stocks, futures, crypto and more), but volume quality may vary between markets and instruments. It is intended as an analytical and educational tool only: it does not constitute financial advice and does not provide or guarantee any trading results. Always combine volume context with your own analysis and risk management.
Smart Range Breakout System (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Smart Range Breakout System (Zeiierman) is a full breakout–trend–risk framework engineered around volatility compression, adaptive range detection, and a volatility-adaptive structural mapping layer that continuously reshapes itself as price migrates away from compression zones. Rather than reacting to simple line breaks, the system identifies statistically quiet regimes, models the expansion phase as momentum re-enters the market, and then deploys a unified architecture of trend projection, dynamic trailing stops, and risk–reward structuring that evolves in real time with the unfolding move.
This tool is designed for traders who want a self-contained breakout workflow: first detect valid ranges, then trade the expansion, then manage the trend and exits via automatically generated levels and alerts.
⚪ Why This One Is Unique
The core engine combines a custom price-contraction model with volatility-responsive boundary levels to detect when the market is transitioning between quiet and active phases. From this model, the script generates a smoothed synthetic average that acts as the reference point for identifying compression zones and validating breakout conditions. Using this foundation, the system builds a complete visual trade map: breakout boxes that mark consolidation, breakout markers that signal expansion, a trend cloud that tracks directional bias, adaptive trailing stops that follow price movement, and optional risk-reward levels that automatically adjust to each new breakout.
Unlike conventional breakout indicators that rely on a single high/low lookback, this system uses:
A price contraction engine that re-weights candle structure through a momentum-like transform, generating a stabilized price that better captures compression and release.
An adaptive low-volatility counter that waits for statistically quiet behavior before declaring a range.
█ Main Features
⚪ Breakout Signals With Dynamic Risk-Reward Levels
The system identifies meaningful breakouts emerging from compressed price zones and immediately maps a complete trade structure around each signal.
Each breakout generates:
Directional breakout markers to confirm expansion
Entry, Stop, TP1, and TP2 levels that are automatically projected
A dynamic trailing stop is added to lock in profits as the price moves
Risk and reward zones visualized through adaptive fills
Labels that update in real time as targets are reached or invalidated
This creates a clear, self-contained decision map that helps traders evaluate opportunities, manage risk, and track the progression of each breakout without manual calculations.
⚪ Trend Cloud
A continuously updating Trend Cloud highlights the active directional regime and offers immediate visual trend identification through its color-coded bias. It shows whether a breakout aligns with the prevailing direction, provides a smoother and more stable representation of the trend than raw price alone, and creates an intuitive backdrop for distinguishing trend-following opportunities from countertrend setups. By filtering out noise and emphasizing directional stability, the cloud helps improve timing, signal quality, and overall alignment with the dominant market structure.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakout Trading from Range Boxes
1. Identify Compression Zones
Look for periods where the Range Breakout Box appears: this signals a statistically quiet regime where price has compressed around a bounded range.
The box top and bottom approximate the upper and lower bounds of the market’s recent equilibrium.
2. Trade the Expansion
Bullish Breakout:
Triggered when the synthetic price crosses above the box top.
A green breakout marker appears below the price (triangle up).
This signals that price is breaking out of the compression zone with enough momentum to establish a meaningful structural move to the upside.
Bearish Breakout:
Triggered when the price crosses below the box bottom.
A red breakout marker appears above the price (triangle down).
Signals a breakdown out of the range to the downside.
⚪ Trend Following with the Trend Cloud
The Trend Cloud is a volatility-responsive band that adjusts to the system’s internal trend. In bullish conditions, it shifts to the up-color beneath price, and in bearish conditions, it flips to the down-color above price, giving a clear visual read of market direction.
The cloud effectively separates impulsive trend legs from noise, so you can align breakout trades only with the dominant directional regime.
Long Setups
Favor long setups (Break Up) when the price is traveling above or inside a bullish cloud.
Short Steups
Favor short setups (Break Down) when the price is below or inside a bearish cloud.
Ignore counter-trend breakouts that form directly against a strong, stable cloud unless you are intentionally trading mean reversion.
⚪ Breakout Management and Risk-Reward
Once a breakout occurs, the system instantly activates a directional trailing stop that follows the trend. For long setups, the stop stays below the price and moves upward as momentum builds. For short setups, it stays above the price and moves downward as the trend strengthens. If price hits the trailing stop, an X-cross appears on the chart to mark the exit, and the stop is reset for the next signal. You can adjust the sensitivity to make the stop tighter or more relaxed, depending on your preference.
When Risk-Reward Levels are enabled, the script also builds a complete trade structure around the breakout. It places an entry line at the breakout close, and projects two target levels forward. The area between entry and stop is shaded as risk, while the area toward the targets is shaded as reward. Labels update automatically as targets are reached, turning into a clear confirmation mark when a level is hit and signaling with an icon if the stop is touched.
Together, the trailing stop and risk-reward ladder create a clear, real-time map of each breakout’s progression, helping you manage risk, monitor targets, and follow the move with structure and confidence.
█ How It Works
⚪ Compression Detection & Range Formation
The system identifies quiet market phases where price contracts into narrow zones and stabilizes around a synthetic equilibrium level. These zones form the foundation for valid breakout opportunities.
Calculation: Persistence-based boundary tracking with volatility-normalized change detection and equilibrium anchoring to identify statistically constrained price regimes.
⚪ Breakout Engine
Breakouts occur only when the internal average breaks out of a validated compression zone, confirming that the market is transitioning from containment to expansion.
Calculation: Boundary-crossing logic on dispersion-expanded structures with directional state shifts encoded through threshold-gated transitions.
⚪ Trend State
A dynamic trend state guides directional bias, while the Trend Cloud visually expresses this bias directly on the chart, shifting beneath or above the price depending on the active regime.
Calculation: Dual-regime state modeling using filtered directional vectors, volatility-responsive offsets, and continuity enforcement to avoid noise-driven flips.

Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro @darshakssc1. What This Indicator Is (In Simple Terms)
The Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro is a visual tool that helps you see how price behaves around a statistically derived “fair-value zone”:
A colored ribbon/cloud marks a central “fair” area.
Areas above the ribbon are labeled as “Unfair High Zone”.
Areas below the ribbon are labeled as “Unfair Low Zone”.
A small state panel tells you where price currently sits relative to this ribbon.
All calculations are based only on historical price, volume, and volatility.
It does not predict future price, does not give buy/sell signals, and is not financial advice.
2. Adding the Indicator
Open a chart on TradingView.
Click on Indicators .
Search for “Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro” .
Click to add it to your chart.
You will see:
A cloud/ribbon around price.
Colored bars when price is outside the ribbon.
A panel in the top right describing the current state.
3. Core Concept: Fair vs Unfair Zones (Analytical Only)
The indicator tries to answer a descriptive question:
“Where is price trading relative to a historically derived central area?”
It does this by:
Calculating a central value (“fair mid”).
Building a band around that mid.
Coloring the chart depending on whether price is inside or outside that band.
It is not claiming that:
Price “must” return to the band.
Price is “overvalued” or “undervalued”.
Any state is good or bad.
It is simply a visual classification tool .
4. Engine Modes — How the Ribbon Is Calculated
Under “Fair-Value Engine” you can choose:
4.1 Mode 1: Range
Looks back over a chosen number of bars (default: 100).
Finds the highest high and lowest low in that window.
Defines a central “slice” of that range as the fair-value ribbon :
Range Mode: Lower Percent → bottom boundary of the slice (e.g., 30%).
Range Mode: Upper Percent → top boundary of the slice (e.g., 70%).
Effect:
The ribbon represents a middle portion of the historical range .
Above the ribbon = “Unfair High Zone” (analytical label only).
Below the ribbon = “Unfair Low Zone”.
This is purely statistical — it does not mean price is wrong or will revert.
4.2 Mode 2: VWAP + Stdev
In this mode, the central value is based on VWAP :
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is used as the midline.
A standard deviation envelope is built around VWAP:
VWAP Mode: Stdev Multiplier controls how wide that envelope is.
Effect:
The ribbon shows where price is trading relative to a volume-weighted average .
Again, areas above and below are just described as “unfair” zones in a visual, analytical sense , not a predictive one.
5. ATR Adaptive Width — Making the Ribbon React to Volatility
Under “ATR Adaptive Width” :
Use ATR Adaptive Width:
On: the band width scales with volatility.
Off: band width stays fixed based on Range or VWAP settings.
ATR Length: how many bars to use for ATR.
Reference ATR (% of price): a reference level for normal volatility.
Min Width Scale / Max Width Scale: clamps the scaling so that the band doesn’t get too narrow or too wide.
What this does (analytically):
When volatility (ATR) is higher than the reference, the band can become wider .
When volatility is lower , the band can become narrower .
This is a mathematical rescaling only and does not imply any optimal levels or performance.
6. Visual Elements — What You See on the Chart
6.1 Fair-Value Ribbon (Cloud)
The cloud between Fair Ribbon Low and Fair Ribbon High is the fair zone .
Color can be changed via “Fair Ribbon Color” .
6.2 Midline
If “Show Center Line” is enabled:
A line runs through the middle of the ribbon.
In Range mode, this is the average of the upper and lower band.
In VWAP mode, it’s essentially the VWAP-based mid.
This line is for visual reference only and makes no claims about support, resistance, or reversion.
6.3 Bar Colors
Unfair High Zone: bars are colored with Unfair High Bar Color.
Unfair Low Zone: bars are colored with Unfair Low Bar Color.
Inside the ribbon:
If “Fade Bars Inside Fair Zone” is ON, bars may be more faded/neutral.
These colors are simply classification highlights ; they do not tell you what to do.
6.4 State Panel (Top Right)
If “Show State Panel” is enabled, you’ll see a small box that displays:
Current engine:
Range or VWAP+Stdev.
Current price state:
Inside Ribbon (Fair Zone)
Above Ribbon (Unfair High Zone)
Below Ribbon (Unfair Low Zone)
This is a quick summary of where price sits relative to the computed ribbon.
7. Typical Ways to Use It (Informational Only)
The indicator can help you visually:
See when price is spending time inside a historically defined central zone.
Notice when price is frequently trading outside that zone.
Compare different timeframes (e.g., 5m vs 1h vs 4h) to see how the fair zone shifts.
Experiment with:
Range length (shorter vs longer lookback).
VWAP vs Range mode.
ATR adaptation on/off.
Important:
Any interpretation of these visuals is entirely up to the user.
The script does not tell you to buy, sell, hold, or do anything specific.
8. Limitations and Important Notes
All calculations use past data only (price, volume, volatility).
The ribbon does not guarantee:
that price will revert,
that zones will hold,
or that any outcome will occur.
There are no built-in signals such as “long/short” or automatic entries/exits.
The script is best used as a supporting, visual layer alongside other tools or methods you choose.
9. Disclaimer
This indicator is:
Strictly informational and educational.
Not a trading system or strategy.
Not financial advice or a recommendation.
Not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific purpose.
Users should always perform their own research and due diligence.
Past behavior of any visual pattern or zone does not guarantee future behavior.
Volume Matrix Pro [ChartNation]Volume Matrix Pro is a comprehensive volume profile indicator that combines delta-colored volume distribution analysis with adaptive pivot detection and automated volume node identification. The indicator visualizes where institutional volume accumulated at specific price levels, providing traders with precise entry zones backed by actual trading data.
KEY FEATURES:
Delta-Colored Volume Profile: Displays volume distribution across price bins with automatic delta coloring - green bins show buyer dominance, red bins show seller control at each price level
High Volume Nodes (HVN) Detection: Automatically identifies and marks price levels with ≥80% of POC volume using yellow diamond markers - these act as magnetic support/resistance zones where institutions built positions
Low Volume Nodes (LVN) Detection: Marks thin volume areas with gray diamond markers - zones where price moves quickly with minimal friction, ideal for breakout targets
Adaptive Smart Pivots: ATR-based pivot detection that automatically adjusts length based on market volatility - catches more swings in low volatility, filters to major reversals in high volatility
Point of Control (POC) Line: Identifies the price level with maximum traded volume - the market's center of gravity. Line colors by delta: green when buyers dominated, red when sellers controlled the level
Value Area Lines: Dotted lines marking the 70% value area (configurable 50-98%) with delta-based coloring showing cumulative buyer/seller pressure within the range
Circle Pivot Markers: Clean visual markers at confirmed pivot points with translucent horizontal lines extending to current bar
Extend-Until-Touch: Pivot lines automatically retract when price touches them, keeping charts clean and showing active levels only
Dual Profile Modes: Left-side profile (default) or right-pinned bars ahead of price with fully customizable width and padding
Volume-Filtered Pivots: Only displays pivots with significant volume backing (≥20% of POC by default) - institutional turning points, not noise
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator divides the lookback range (default 200 bars) into volume bins (default 50) and calculates total volume and delta (buying vs selling pressure) at each price level. Each bin is colored green if buyers dominated (close > open majority) or red if sellers controlled (close < open majority).
High Volume Nodes mark price levels where the most trading occurred - these become magnetic support/resistance zones. The Point of Control identifies the single price with maximum volume, acting as the market's gravitational center.
Smart Pivots use ATR to adapt to changing volatility, then filter against the volume profile. Only pivots with substantial volume backing are displayed, ensuring you see institutional turning points, not random noise.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS:
Scalping (1-5 min): 100 lookback bars, 40 bins, 5-7 pivot length
Day Trading (15 min - 1 hour): 200 lookback bars, 50 bins, 10 pivot length (default)
Swing Trading (4 hour - Daily): 300-500 lookback bars, 60 bins, 15-20 pivot length
USAGE TIPS:
Enter long when price touches green HVN zones with adaptive pivot confirmation
Enter short when price reaches red HVN zones with pivot confirmation
Use POC as first target when entering below it, or as support backup when entering above
Watch for LVN zones as potential breakout acceleration areas
Combine green delta bins + HVN + pivot for highest-probability setups
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT:
Unlike traditional volume profiles, Volume Matrix Pro colors each bin individually by delta, giving granular insight into buyer/seller control at every price level. The adaptive pivot system adjusts automatically to volatility, while volume-filtering ensures only institutionally-backed turning points are displayed. High/Low Volume Node detection is fully automated with visual markers.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is a volume analysis tool - use with trend analysis and risk management
High Volume Nodes show where volume accumulated historically, not future support/resistance guarantees
Adaptive pivots adjust to volatility automatically but can still produce false signals in choppy markets
Best used as confirmation alongside price action, not as a standalone system
Profile recalculates on each bar to reflect current lookback range

It solves the common "Symbol Not Found" and NaN errors by using an intelligent symbol detection engine.
This indicator plots the Open Interest (OI) and Funding Rates for your current chart while simultaneously monitoring the broader market sentiment by displaying real-time funding rates for BTC and ETH on the dashboard.
Key Features
🧠 Smart Symbol Detection : automatically detects your current exchange (Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.) and tries multiple ticker formats (e.g., .P, _OI, _FR) to find valid data. No more manual ticker searching.
📊 Dual-Pane Visualization :
Open Interest (Line): Displayed as a smoothed line area to visualize market participation and trend strength.
Funding Rate (Columns): Color-coded columns (Teal/Red) to instantly spot bullish or bearish sentiment extremes.
⚡ Real-Time Dashboard : A clean, non-intrusive table in the top-right corner displays:
Current Stats : Exact OI (formatted in Millions/Billions) and Funding Rate % for the coin you are viewing.
Market Reference : Live Funding Rates for BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT from your specific exchange to use as a baseline for market sentiment.
How to Use
1. Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any Crypto Perpetual Futures chart (e.g., BTCUSDT.P, SOLUSDT.P).
2. Scale Setup (Important): Since Open Interest (Millions) and Funding Rates (0.01%) have vastly different values, you must separate their scales:Right-click the Blue Line (OI) $\rightarrow$ Select Pin to Scale Right.Right-click the Columns (Funding) $\rightarrow$ Select Pin to Scale Left.
3. Interpret the Data:High OI + Positive Funding: Strong Bullish sentiment (Longs paying Shorts). Watch for Long Squeezes.High OI + Negative Funding: Strong Bearish sentiment (Shorts paying Longs). Watch for Short Squeezes.Dashboard Ref: Compare your coin's funding to BTC/ETH. If your coin has 0.1% funding while BTC is 0.01%, your crypto is significantly "hotter" than the market average.

Kalman Trend Sniper# KALMAN TREND SNIPER
## ORIGINALITY STATEMENT
The Kalman Trend Sniper combines adaptive trend detection with precision entry validation to identify high-probability trading opportunities. Unlike static moving averages that use fixed parameters, this indicator adapts to changing market volatility through ATR-based gain adjustment and distinguishes trending from ranging markets using ADX regime detection.
The indicator's unique contribution is its three-phase entry validation system: signals must hold for three bars, undergo a pullback test to the signal level, and receive confirmation through price action before generating an entry. This structured approach helps traders enter established trends at favorable retracement levels rather than chasing momentum.
---
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY
### Kalman Filter Implementation
This indicator implements an Alpha-Beta variant of the Kalman filter, a recursive algorithm that estimates trend from noisy price data:
1. Prediction: kf = kf + velocity
2. Error calculation: error = price - kf
3. Correction: kf = kf + gain * error
4. Velocity update: velocity = velocity + (gain * error) / 2
The gain parameter determines filter responsiveness. Higher gain values track price more closely but increase noise sensitivity, while lower values provide smoother output but lag price changes.
### Adaptive Gain Mechanism
The indicator adjusts gain dynamically based on volatility:
Volatility Factor = Current ATR / Long-term ATR
Adaptive Gain = Base Gain * (0.7 + 0.6 * Volatility Factor)
This ATR ratio increases responsiveness during high-volatility periods and reduces sensitivity during consolidations, addressing the fixed-parameter limitation of traditional moving averages. The volatility factor is bounded between configurable minimum and maximum values to prevent extreme adjustments.
### Regime Detection
The indicator uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to distinguish market conditions:
- Trending markets (ADX above threshold): Full gain applied, signals generated
- Ranging markets (ADX below threshold): Gain reduced 25%, fewer signals
This regime awareness helps reduce whipsaw signals during sideways consolidation periods.
### Signal Line Validation System
When the Kalman line changes direction in trending conditions, the indicator draws a horizontal signal line at the low (for long signals) or high (for short signals) of the signal candle. This line represents a potential support or resistance level.
The validation system then monitors three phases:
Phase 1 - Hold Period: Price must remain above (long) or below (short) the signal line for three consecutive bars. This requirement filters weak signals where price immediately violates the signal level.
Phase 2 - Test: After the hold period, the system waits for price to pull back and touch the signal line, with configurable tolerance for volatile instruments.
Phase 3 - Confirmation: Within eight bars of the test, a confirmation candle must close above (long) or below (short) the test candle's body, demonstrating renewed momentum. If confirmation does not occur within eight bars, the validation attempt expires.
Successful validation generates an R label at the entry point. This three-phase structure helps identify entries where trend direction and support/resistance validation align.
---
## USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
### Signal Interpretation
Triangle Signals:
- Upward triangle (teal): Kalman line turns bullish in trending market (ADX above threshold)
- Downward triangle (red): Kalman line turns bearish in trending market
Signal Lines (horizontal):
- Teal line: Potential long support level at signal candle low
- Red line: Potential short resistance level at signal candle high
- Gray line: First opposite-color candle after signal (initial reversal pressure)
R Labels (optional, disabled by default):
- Green R below price: Validation complete for long entry
- Red R above price: Validation complete for short entry
Stop Levels:
- Red dots: Long stop level (Kalman line minus ATR multiplier)
- Teal dots: Short stop level (Kalman line plus ATR multiplier)
### Dashboard Information
The dashboard displays real-time indicator state:
- Trend: Current Kalman direction (BULL/BEAR)
- Regime: Market classification (Trending when ADX exceeds threshold, Ranging otherwise)
- Gain: Current adaptive gain value
- Vol Factor: Volatility ratio (current ATR / long-term ATR)
- ADX: Trend strength (higher values indicate stronger trends)
- Z-Score: Standard deviation distance from Kalman line (when enabled)
- Stop Dist: Current ATR-based stop distance
- Lines: Number of active signal lines displayed
- R-Status: Validation system state (Idle / Waiting / Testing)
### Trading Applications
Trend Following Approach:
1. Wait for triangle signal in trending market (ADX above threshold)
2. Enter immediately at signal candle close or wait for pullback
3. Place stop at displayed stop level
4. Trail stop using Kalman line as dynamic support/resistance
Validation Entry Approach (conservative):
1. After triangle signal, observe three-bar hold period
2. Wait for pullback to signal line (test phase)
3. Enter on R label confirmation
4. Place stop below/above signal line
5. Provides higher probability entries but reduces trade frequency
Z-Score Mean Reversion (when enabled):
1. Watch for Z-Score exceeding entry threshold (default +/-2.0)
2. Consider counter-trend entries when price touches Kalman line
3. Target return to Kalman line (Z-Score near zero)
4. Use Z-Score threshold as stop level for extreme continuation
### Optimal Conditions
The indicator performs optimally in clearly trending markets where ADX consistently exceeds the threshold. Performance degrades in sideways, choppy conditions.
Recommended timeframes:
- 1-5 minute charts: Use Crypto_1M preset (faster adaptation)
- 15-60 minute charts: Use Crypto_15M preset (balanced)
- Hourly charts: Use Forex preset (smoother)
- Daily charts: Use Stocks_Daily preset (long-term trends)
Market conditions:
- High volatility (Vol Factor above 1.5): Expect faster adaptation, wider stops needed
- Normal volatility (Vol Factor 0.7-1.5): Standard behavior
- Low volatility (Vol Factor below 0.7): Expect slower adaptation, tighter stops possible

## PARAMETER DOCUMENTATION
### Kalman Filter Settings
Preset Mode: Select optimized configuration for specific markets
- Custom: Manual parameter control
- Crypto_1M: Base Gain 0.05, ATR 7 (fast response for 1-5 minute crypto charts)
- Crypto_15M: Base Gain 0.03, ATR 14 (balanced for 15-60 minute crypto charts)
- Forex: Base Gain 0.02, ATR 14 (standard for forex pairs)
- Stocks_Daily: Base Gain 0.01, ATR 20 (smooth for daily stock charts)
Base Gain (0.001-0.2): Core Kalman filter responsiveness parameter. Higher values increase sensitivity to price changes. Low values (0.01-0.02) provide smooth output with fewer whipsaws but slower trend changes. High values (0.06-0.08) offer fast response with more signals but increased whipsaw risk.
Adaptive (checkbox): When enabled, automatically adjusts gain based on ATR ratio. Recommended to keep enabled for dynamic volatility adaptation.
ATR (5-50): Short-term Average True Range period for current volatility measurement. Default 14 is industry standard. Lower values respond faster to volatility changes.
Long ATR (20-200): Long-term ATR period for baseline volatility comparison. Default 50 provides stable reference. The ratio between ATR and Long ATR determines adaptive adjustment magnitude.
Regime Filter (checkbox): Enables ADX-based trending/ranging detection. When enabled, reduces gain by 25 percent during ranging markets to minimize false signals.
ADX Period (7-30): Period for ADX calculation. Default 14 is standard. Lower values respond faster to trend strength changes.
Threshold (15-40): ADX level distinguishing trending from ranging markets. Default 25. Above threshold: trending (generate signals normally). Below threshold: ranging (reduce sensitivity).
Min Vol / Max Vol (0.3-3.0): Bounds for volatility factor adjustment. Prevents extreme gain changes during unusual volatility spikes or quiet periods. Default minimum 0.5, maximum 2.0.
Stop ATR x (1.0-3.0): Multiplier for ATR-based stop loss distance. Default 2.0 places stops two ATRs from Kalman line. Use 1.5 for tight stops (intraday), 2.5-3.0 for wide stops (swing trading).
Show Signals (checkbox): Displays triangle signals when Kalman changes direction in trending markets. Disable to use indicator purely as dynamic support/resistance without signals.
Z-Score (checkbox): Enables mean-reversion signal generation based on statistical deviation from Kalman line.
Period (10-100): Lookback period for Z-Score standard deviation calculation. Default 20 bars. Longer periods produce smoother, less sensitive readings.
Entry (1.5-3.5): Standard deviation threshold for Z-Score signals. Default 2.0 generates signals at plus/minus two standard deviations (approximately 95th percentile moves).
Bull / Bear Colors: Customize Kalman line colors for uptrend (default teal) and downtrend (default red).
Fill (checkbox): Shows semi-transparent fill between price and Kalman line for visual trend emphasis.
### Signal Line System Settings
Signal Lines (checkbox): Displays horizontal signal lines at low (long) or high (short) of signal candles. These function as dynamic support/resistance levels.
Reverse Lines (checkbox): Shows gray horizontal lines at first opposite-colored candle after signal. Helps identify initial resistance points in new trends.
Max Lines (0-20): Maximum number of signal lines to display simultaneously. Older lines are removed as new signals appear. Use 1-2 for clean charts, 3-5 for recent support/resistance history.
Style (Solid/Dotted/Dashed): Visual style for signal and reverse lines. Dotted provides subtle appearance, solid is most prominent.
Line % / Label % (0-100): Transparency percentage for lines and labels. Zero is fully opaque, 100 is invisible.
R Labels (checkbox): Shows R labels when validation confirmation occurs. Default disabled. Enable if you want visual confirmation of successful pullback entries.
Tolerance % (0-1.0): Price deviation tolerance for test candle detection. Zero requires exact touch. 0.5 allows 0.5 percent deviation for volatile instruments.
### Dashboard Settings
Show Dashboard (checkbox): Toggles visibility of information panel. Disable for clean chart presentation.
Position: Choose dashboard location from nine positions (Top/Middle/Bottom combined with Left/Center/Right).

## LIMITATIONS AND WARNINGS
This indicator is a technical analysis tool that processes historical price data. It does not predict future price movements.
Inherent limitations:
1. Lagging nature: Like all trend indicators, the Kalman filter lags price. Signals occur after trend changes begin, not before.
2. Ranging markets: Generates fewer signals and reduced performance when ADX falls below threshold. Not optimized for sideways consolidation.
3. Whipsaw risk: In choppy, indecisive markets near ADX threshold, signals may reverse quickly despite regime filtering.
4. Parameter sensitivity: Inappropriate Base Gain settings can cause over-trading (too high) or missed trends (too low).
5. Validation requirement: The three-phase confirmation system provides higher accuracy but significantly reduces trade frequency. Not all trends produce valid pullback entries.
Not suitable for:
- Scalping strategies requiring instant signals (Kalman filter has intentional smoothing)
- Ultra-high frequency trading (indicator updates once per bar close)
- Markets with extreme overnight gaps (stops may be exceeded)
- Strategies requiring signals on Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point and Figure, or Range charts
Risk management requirements:
This indicator provides trend direction and signal levels but does not incorporate position sizing, risk management, or account balance considerations. Users must implement appropriate position sizing, maximum daily loss limits, and portfolio diversification. Past performance does not indicate future results.
Optimal usage:
- Works optimally in clearly trending markets where ADX consistently exceeds threshold
- Performance degrades in sideways, choppy conditions
- Designed for swing trading and position trading timeframes (15-minute and above)
- Requires confirmation from price action or additional technical analysis
---
## NO REPAINT GUARANTEE
This indicator operates on bar close confirmation only. All signals, signal lines, and validation labels appear exclusively when candles close. Historical signals remain exactly where they appeared. This makes the indicator suitable for automated trading and reliable backtesting. What you see in historical data matches what appeared in real-time.
---
## ALERTS
The indicator provides eight alert conditions:
1. Kalman Buy Signal: Fires when upward triangle appears (bullish trend change in trending market)
2. Kalman Sell Signal: Fires when downward triangle appears (bearish trend change in trending market)
3. Trend Change to Bullish: Fires whenever Kalman line changes to bullish (regardless of ADX)
4. Trend Change to Bearish: Fires whenever Kalman line changes to bearish (regardless of ADX)
5. SCT-R Long Retest Confirmed: Fires when green R label appears for long validation
6. SCT-R Short Retest Confirmed: Fires when red R label appears for short validation
7. SCT Test Long Detected: Fires when test candle appears for long signal (before confirmation)
8. SCT Test Short Detected: Fires when test candle appears for short signal (before confirmation)
Alert messages include context about bar close confirmation and current price levels.

## CALCULATION TRANSPARENCY
While complete proprietary optimization methodology is not disclosed, the core technical approach is fully explained: Alpha-Beta Kalman filter with ATR-based adaptive gain adjustment and ADX regime detection. The signal line validation system uses a three-phase structure (hold, test, confirmation) with configurable parameters. Users can understand indicator functionality and make informed decisions about application.
