Volume (standard) + Brightness by Intensity (Min–Max / MA)Volume Brightness Indicator
Quick Description
This indicator is an enhanced version of TradingView’s standard volume. The volume bars are colored just like the original (green/red or a single custom color), but with one key upgrade: brightness and transparency adjust automatically based on volume intensity.
High volume → bars appear more opaque and bright.
Low volume → bars appear more transparent and faded.
This makes it easier to spot which candles actually carry meaningful volume at a glance.
Features
Bar colors: by candle direction (green/red) or a single chosen color.
Volume moving average: optional, customizable (SMA or EMA).
Brightness methods:
Min–Max: compares volume against a historical window (with optional log scale).
MA-based: compares volume against its moving average, with an adjustable cap.
Custom transparency: define how opaque high-volume and low-volume bars appear.
How to Use
Copy the script into Pine Editor and save it.
Add it to your chart; it will display in its own panel, like the standard volume.
In Settings, choose your preferred brightness method and adjust transparency ranges.
Toggle the volume MA if you want a clear reference line.
Key Idea
The indicator does not add new data. It highlights volume intensity visually, making it easier to identify accumulation or spikes without losing the simplicity of the classic volume.
nATR*ATR Multiplication Indicator - Optimal Selection Tool forThis indicator is specifically designed as an analysis tool for investors using grid bot strategies. It displays both nATR (Normalized Average True Range) and ATR (Average True Range) values on a single chart screen, calculating the multiplication of these two critical volatility measurements.
Primary Purpose of the Indicator:
To facilitate the selection of the most optimal stock and time period for grid bot trading. The nATR*ATR multiplication provides a hybrid measurement that combines both percentage-based return potential (nATR) and absolute volatility magnitude (ATR).
Importance for Grid Bot Strategy:
High nATR: Greater percentage-based return potential
High ATR: Wider price range = Fewer grid levels = More budget allocation per grid
Formula: Price Range/ATR = Theoretical Grid Count
Usage Advantages:
Test different time periods to find the highest multiplication value
Make optimal stock and time frame selections for grid bot setup
Monitor both nATR and ATR values on a single screen
High multiplication values indicate ideal conditions for grid bots
Technical Features:
Adjustable calculation period (1-500 candles)
Visual alert system (high/low multiplication values)
Real-time value tracking table
SMA-based smoothed calculations
This serves as a reliable guide for grid bot investors in optimal timing and stock selection.

APC Companion – Volume Accumulation/DistributionIndicator Description (TradingView – Open Source)
APC Companion – Volume Accumulation/Distribution Filter
(Designed to work standalone or together with the APC Compass)
What this indicator does
The APC Companion measures whether markets are under Accumulation (buying pressure) or Distribution (selling pressure) by combining:
Chaikin A/D slope – volume flow into price moves
On-Balance Volume momentum – confirms trend strength
VWAP spread – price vs. fair value by traded volume
CLV × Volume Z-Score – detects intrabar absorption / selling pressure
VWMA vs. EMA100 – confirms whether weighted volume supports price action
The result is a single Acc/Dist Score (−5 … +5) and a Coherence % showing how many signals agree.
How to interpret
Score ≥ +3 & Coherence ≥ 60% → Accumulation (green) → market supported by buyers
Score ≤ −3 & Coherence ≥ 60% → Distribution (red) → market pressured by sellers
Anything in between = neutral (no strong bias)
Using with APC Compass
Long trades: Only take Compass Long signals when Companion shows Accumulation.
Short trades: Only take Compass Short signals when Companion shows Distribution.
Neutral Companion: Skip or reduce size if there is no confirmation.
This filter greatly reduces false signals and improves trade quality.
Best practice
Swing trading: 4H / 1D charts, lenZ 40–80, lenSlope 14–20
Intraday: 5m–30m charts, lenZ 20–30, lenSlope 10–14
Position sizing: Increase with higher Coherence %, reduce when below 60%
Exits: Reduce or close if Score drops back to neutral or flips opposite

PowerDelta Oscillator [FxScripts]PowerDelta Oscillator
The PowerDelta Oscillator measures real-time buying and selling pressure using the proprietary PowerDelta Algorithm. By quantifying order flow, it identifies whether the market conditions favor bullish or bearish activity, helping traders determine directional bias for both trend and countertrend setups.
Calculation Methodology
The PowerDelta computes the delta (difference) between buying and selling pressure by integrating both price movement and volume behavior rather than relying solely on volume or price-based approximations like other oscillators.
The PowerDelta Algorithm evaluates six core price-volume conditions:
Price advancing with increasing volume
Price advancing with decreasing volume
Price consolidating with increasing volume
Price consolidating with decreasing volume
Price declining with increasing volume
Price declining with decreasing volume
From these conditions, the algorithm derives:
Accumulation vs Distribution phases
Buyer/Seller exhaustion points
Effort vs No Result scenarios (volume pressure failing to move price)
Operational Use
The PowerDelta Oscillator has three operational modes:
Trend
Countertrend
Blended (Trend/Countertrend hybrid)
Trend Mode
In Trend Mode, the indicator plots an oscillator that fluctuates between positive and negative values:
Positive readings indicate dominant buying pressure
Negative readings indicate dominant selling pressure
The magnitude of the reading reflects the intensity of the pressure
Crossovers at the zero line provide directional shifts:
Negative → Positive: bullish transition
Positive → Negative: bearish transition
Additionally:
Sustained positive values indicate control by buyers, long bias is favoured
Sustained negative values indicate control by sellers, short bias is favoured
The magnitude of displacement from zero provides additional confirmation of market strength or weakness
Countertrend Mode
In Countertrend Mode, the primary use of the PowerDelta Oscillator is to locate divergences between price and the oscillator (as visualised on the chart above) which helps traders pinpoint potential reversals
The oscillator is much more sensitive in this mode, making highs, lows and hence divergences, easier to spot
Like Trend Mode, the magnitude of displacement from zero provides additional confirmation of market strength or weakness
The various Analytical Scenarios detailed below provide detailed use cases for both Trend and Countertrend Mode
Blended Mode
To provide maximum flexibility, there’s also a third Blended Mode
This mode combines elements of the two primary modes and can be used as part of a hybrid approach making it easier to spot both trends and reversals
Alternative Source
The PowerDelta algorithm utilises volume data therefore it’s best to use the most reliable source of volume data for the instrument being traded
For instance, whilst XAUUSD provides excellent results with most forex brokers, slightly better results may be achieved using GC futures data which comes direct from the exchange (data package required)
To use a third-party source, select 'Alternative' and input the relevant source
This can also be used as a way to monitor correlated pairs by adding two instances of the PowerDelta to the same chart, selecting pair 1 e.g. EURUSD as the first instance and the correlated pair e.g. USDCHF as the second instance
Thorough backtesting advised
Analytical Scenarios
Accumulation: High positive oscillator readings combined with upward price movement suggest active accumulation.
Optimal strategy: Monitor pullbacks for potential long entries or wait for a divergence with price and potential reversal.
Distribution: High negative oscillator readings with downward price movement indicate distribution.
Optimal strategy: Monitor pullbacks for potential short entries or wait for a divergence with price and potential reversal.
Buyer Exhaustion: Price forms higher highs while oscillator value declines. Indicates weakening buying strength and potential bearish reversal.
Seller Exhaustion: Price forms lower lows while oscillator value contracts. Indicates weakening selling strength and potential bullish reversal.
Effort / No Result (Buyers): Positive oscillator expansion without higher highs indicates aggressive buying without price confirmation, suggesting overbought conditions and a potential bearish reversal.
Effort / No Result (Sellers): Negative oscillator expansion without lower lows indicates aggressive selling without price confirmation, suggesting oversold conditions and a potential bullish reversal.
Alerts
To trigger alerts when market bias transitions across the zero line:
Right-click on chart → Add Alert on PowerDelta
Condition: PowerDelta → Select Mode
Type: Crossing
Value: 0
Execution: Once Per Bar Close
Adjust additional parameters as required
Performance and Optimization
Backtesting Results: The PowerDelta Oscillator has undergone extensive backtesting across various instruments, timeframes and market conditions, demonstrating strong performance in identifying strong trends and reversals. User backtesting is strongly encouraged as it allows traders to optimize settings for their preferred instruments and timeframes.
Optimization for Diverse Markets: The PowerDelta Oscillator can be used on crypto, forex, indices, commodities and stocks. The PowerDelta Oscillator's algorithmic foundation ensures consistent performance across a variety of instruments. The Trend, Countertrend and Blended Modes make it easy for the trader to set up based on their individual trading style.
Educational Resources and Support
Users of the PowerDelta Oscillator benefit from comprehensive educational resources and full access to FxScripts Support. This ensures traders can maximize the potential of the PowerDelta Oscillator and other tools in the Sigma Indicator Suite by learning best practices and gaining insights from an experienced team of traders.
Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders
Smart Compositing Logic
- Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms
- Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging)
- Dead composite identification (profiles that become engulfed by newer composites)
- Real-time updates as new price action develops using barstate.islast optimization
Visual Customization
- Customizable colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Adjustable transparency levels for each composite state
- Premium/Discount zone highlighting based on current price vs composite range
- TPO aggression coloring using TPO distribution analysis to identify buying/selling pressure
- Fibonacci level extensions with 1.618 target calculations based on composite range
Clean Chart Presentation
- Only shows the most relevant composite levels (maximum 10 active composites)
- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading
- Use "Daily" for swing trading
- Use "Weekly" for position trading
- Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe
Step 2: Customize the Display
Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis.
Step 3: Identify Key Levels
Look for:
- Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance
- VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries
- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels
- Identify trend changes when major composites break
Perfect for Market Profile Traders
If you're already using market profile concepts in your trading, CTPO eliminates the manual work of compositing profiles across different timeframes. Instead of spending time analyzing each individual period, you get instant access to the composite levels that matter most.
The indicator's automated compositing process ensures you're always looking at the most relevant areas of balance, while its real-time updates keep you informed of changes as they happen. Whether you're a day trader looking for intraday levels or a position trader analyzing long-term structure, CTPO provides the market profile intelligence you need to succeed.

RSI Reversal PureWhat it is
A minimalist overlay for very short-term crude-oil plays. It waits for RSI to reach an extreme, snap back through a user-defined level and then prints a single arrow. A built-in timer starts immediately; when the clock runs out the trade is marked “✓” or “✗” and the scoreboard updates. What you see on the chart • One arrow at a time – no clutter, no repainting. • A label that follows price and shows entry price, live P&L and the seconds left on the clock. • Optional background tint the moment a signal is generated or the timer expires. • A two-column table (lifetime vs. today) that tracks hit-rate, average return, longest winning/losing streak and current draw-down. Core ideas under the hood (no formulas) 1. Pure reversal – the arrow only fires when RSI crosses back through an oversold/overbought threshold. 2. Location check – an optional slow-moving average keeps you on the right side of the prevailing drift. 3. Volume sanity – Chaikin Money Flow must agree (can be switched off). 4. Momentum gate – MACD can be added as an extra hurdle. 5. Self-audit – every arrow is followed for N seconds, graded, and stored so the script displays a live report card instead of a beauty picture. User knobs you can turn without touching code • RSI length and the two extreme levels. • Timer length – default is 10 minutes but you can set anything from 1 min to several hours. • Trend filter – disable for counter-trend scalps or enable to stay with the bigger drift. • Chaikin and MACD on/off – use either, both or none. • Visual prefs – toggle arrows, labels, background flashes and the statistics table. Typical workflow 1. Drop the indicator on a 1- or 5-minute crude-oil chart. 2. Wait for an arrow that agrees with your session bias (London, New-York, API, etc.). 3. Use the timer as a built-in exit rule or as a back-stop for your own target/stop. 4. Watch the scoreboard for a few sessions; if the win-rate stays above your personal threshold you can gradually increase size, if it drops you re-calibrate or pause. No secret sauce – just a disciplined RSI reversal timer that prints its own homework.
Fusion A+B EnhancedFusion A+B Enhanced (English overview – no code revealed)
What it is
A lightweight overlay that waits for several micro-structure clues to line up, then paints a single “BUY” or “SELL” arrow on the 10-minute chart. After the arrow appears the script starts a built-in timer; when the timer expires it marks the result with a green dot (win) or red cross (loss) and updates a live score-board.
What you see on the chart
Two smooth lines that track the short- and intermediate-term direction.
One arrow per side – no repainting, no stack of signals.
A small label that follows price and shows entry price, live P&L and the seconds left on the clock.
Optional background flashes the moment a signal is generated or the timer expires.
A two-column table (total vs. today) that tracks hit-rate, average return, longest winning/losing streak and current draw-down.
Core ideas under the hood (no formulas)
Trend filter – the arrow only fires if the short-term and intermediate-term directions agree.
Pattern filter – a weighted mix of classic reversal shapes (V-bottom / top), support/respect touches and engulfing bars.
Exhaustion filter – an RSI or Williams %-R gate is applied with either “AND” or “OR” logic so signals are ignored if the market is already over-stretched.
Scoreboard – each ingredient adds a user-defined weight; the sum must reach a minimum “conviction” number before an arrow is printed.
Timer exit – every trade is closed after a fixed number of seconds; wins and losses are recorded immediately and used to refresh the statistics.
Normalized Volume Z-Score
The Normalized Volume Z-Score indicator measures how unusual the current trading volume is compared to its recent history.
It calculates the z-score of volume over a user-defined lookback period (default: 50 bars), optionally using log-volume normalization.
A z-score tells you how many standard deviations today’s volume is away from its mean:
Z = 0 → volume is at its average.
Z > 0 → volume is higher than average.
Z < 0 → volume is lower than average.
Threshold lines (±2 by default) highlight extreme deviations, which often signal unusual market activity.
How to Trade with It
High positive Z-score (> +2):
Indicates abnormally high volume. This often happens during breakouts, strong trend continuations, or capitulation events.
→ Traders may look for confirmation from price action (e.g., breakout candle, strong trend bar) before entering a trade.
High negative Z-score (< –2):
Indicates unusually low volume. This may signal lack of interest, consolidation, or exhaustion.
→ Traders may avoid entering new positions during these periods or expect potential reversals once volume returns.
Cross back inside thresholds:
When z-score returns inside ±2 after an extreme spike, it may suggest that the abnormal activity has cooled down.
Tips
Works best when combined with price structure (support/resistance, demand/supply zones).
Can be applied to crypto, stocks, forex, futures – anywhere volume is meaningful.
Log normalization helps reduce distortion when some days have extremely large volumes.

RSI OB/OSRSI OB/OS Signals indicator
The RSI OB/OS Signals indicator is an analysis and training tool that uses simple statistical learning (rolling correlations and z-scoring) to produce a smoothed, adaptive RSI weighting and signal line intended to highlight probable short-term RSI movements. The script does not attempt black-box machine-learning model export instead, it uses transparent building blocks — returns, RSI, ATR percentage, volume change (log), and raw volume — as predictors to estimate the likely next-bar RSI, then converts that estimate into a bounded “weight” and a smoothed signal line. The objective is educational: show how simple correlation-based weighting of standardized features can serve as an RSI augmentation and help traders identify higher-probability bullish or bearish RSI cross conditions, while making all internal reasoning visible and explainable.
At its core the indicator performs three conceptual steps each bar: first it computes a set of per-bar features aligned to the target (prior bar RSI) — specifically prior-bar log returns, prior-bar RSI, ATR as percent of price, the log change in volume and the prior-bar raw volume.
Second it standardizes these predictors through rolling z-scoring and computes rolling Pearson correlations between each standardized predictor and the target RSI over a user-configurable learning window. These correlations act as signed linear weights: predictors with higher absolute correlation are treated as more informative for that window.
Third it forms a linear prediction by summing correlation × z(feature) across the top correlated predictors, then maps that standardized prediction back to RSI scale using the rolling mean and standard deviation of the target. The mapped prediction is finally converted to a bounded “rsiWeight,” smoothed by a signal moving average, and used to produce bullish/bearish events on crossovers of preconfigured thresholds.
VWAP, buy/sell volume breakdown and simple tracking of the price move since the last signal are also displayed to help traders interpret the quality of signals.
The components are chosen for clear, complementary roles rather than as a random mashup. Prior-bar RSI embodies short-term momentum and is the natural prediction target.
Log returns add price-direction information; ATR percent encodes the intrabar volatility regime (helpful because RSI behaviour differs in high vs low volatility); the volume log-change and raw volume provide a participation signal indicating whether structural moves are supported by real activity. Standardizing predictors and using rolling correlations lets the script adapt its emphasis to the current regime: when volume changes correlate strongly with subsequent RSI moves, the algorithm will weight that predictor more heavily; when returns correlate more, weight shifts accordingly. Because the method is linear, transparent and computed on rolling windows you can reproduce and reason about the weight changes — a key requirement for educational clarity and TradingView compliance.
How to read and use the indicator practically: treat the smoothed rsiWeight line (ma_rsi) and its threshold crossings as an RSI-augmentation alert — not as a standalone automated buy/sell system. A practical workflow is: first inspect the dashboard and confirm the underlying drivers (which predictors show strong z-scores and which had high rolling correlation in the learning window); second check VWAP position and volume split to ensure that the price move is supported; third only consider signals that coincide with your higher-timeframe bias or structural support/resistance.
For example, a bullish crossover (ma_rsi crossing above −0.5) that occurs while VWAP is below price, buy volume share is elevated, and ATR is moderate is a higher-quality setup than the same crossing on thin volume and extreme ATR.
Use ATR or recent swing structure for stop placement and predefine risk per trade. Because the indicator tracks max points since the last signal, you can also use that metric as a simple intraday performance monitor.
Parameter tuning guidance: the learning window (learnLen) controls how quickly the correlation weights adapt; a short window (e.g., 10–20) makes the predictor weights responsive to regime shifts but also noisier; a longer window (e.g., 40–80) smooths weights and emphasizes longer-term relationships.
The rsiLen (target RSI length) should match your intended horizon — 14 is standard and balances responsiveness and smoothness. sigLen controls the smoothing of the predicted RSI weight: lower values make the signal line more reactive (useful for scalping), higher values produce smoother signals (useful for swing trades).
For low-liquidity instruments increase learnLen and sigLen to reduce false alarms; for high-speed intra-day work shorten them. Volume heuristics (volume thresholds) are instrument dependent — calibrate volume formatting and volumetric thresholds for equities versus futures or crypto.
Limitations and failure modes are explicit and important: the feature-selection approach is linear and based on Pearson correlation — it cannot capture nonlinear dependencies or temporal lags beyond the single lag studied, so it may miss relationships that require higher-order features.

on the chart as a heatmap. Areas with high volumes of liquidity will
be highlighted, providing insights into market activity.
Note: This script assumes that you have access to CME data and that the data is
available in the TradingView environment.
Volume Delta [Vu]The volume profile indicator is a technical analysis tool that visualizes trading activity at different price levels, rather than by time, on a price chart. It uses a horizontal histogram to show where high volumes of trades occurred, allowing traders to identify key price levels such as support and resistance, and to understand market sentiment. Key features include the Point of Control (POC), the price with the highest volume, and the Value Area, a range containing a significant portion of total trading
