WAD : Whale Activity Detector🐋 WAD: Whale Activity Detector
WAD (Whale Activity Detector) automatically detects periods of abnormally high trading volume compared to the average, identifying potential whale (institutional) buy or sell activity and visualizing it directly on the chart.
🔍 How It Works
1. Buy/Sell Volume Separation
Each candle’s trading volume is categorized based on its direction:
Bullish candle → Buy volume
Bearish candle → Sell volume
This separation helps distinguish the actual strength of buying vs. selling pressure, rather than looking at total volume alone.
2. Average Volume Calculation
Over a user-defined lookback period (default: 34 bars), the indicator calculates the moving average of both buy and sell volumes, establishing a baseline for what constitutes “normal” activity.
3. Whale Activity Detection
When the current volume exceeds n times the average volume (default: 4×), the indicator flags it as a Whale Zone — a potential sign of large player involvement.
Volume surge on a bullish candle → Whale Buy
Volume surge on a bearish candle → Whale Sell
4. Visual Display
🟢 Green bars: Whale buy activity
🔴 Red bars: Whale sell activity
BUY/SELL labels: Appear above the chart when an anomaly is detected
Average line toggle: Users can turn the average volume lines on or off for clarity
5. Alerts
Whenever whale buy/sell signals are detected, real-time alerts are triggered.
Example: 🐋 Whale Buy – NVDA! 🟢
⚙️ Indicator Meaning
Rather than showing raw volume, WAD tracks “abnormal volume relative to the average.”
It filters out noise and highlights the moments where large entities begin to move.
Essentially, it visualizes intentional and impactful trades hidden within standard volume activity.
🚀 Example Use Cases
Whale accumulation tracking – Repeated strong buy signals may indicate sustained institutional accumulation.
Short-term breakout confirmation – Price often rallies shortly after whale buy signals appear.
Support/resistance analysis – Whale sell zones frequently align with short-term resistance areas.
In short:
WAD identifies when trading volume exceeds its historical norm to highlight where big money enters or exits the market.

🐋 WAD : 세력 매매거래 추적기
WAD(Whale Activity Detector) 는 특정 종목의 거래량 패턴 속에서
‘평균 대비 비정상적으로 큰 거래량이 발생한 구간’을 자동으로 감지해
세력(Whale)의 매수·매도 활동을 시각화하는 지표입니다.
🔍 작동 원리
매수·매도 거래량 분리
각 캔들이 양봉인지, 음봉인지에 따라 거래량을 분리합니다.
양봉 시 발생한 거래량 → 매수 거래량(buy volume)
음봉 시 발생한 거래량 → 매도 거래량(sell volume)
이렇게 분리함으로써 단순 거래량이 아닌,
실제 매수세/매도세의 힘을 구분할 수 있습니다.
평균 거래량 계산
사용자가 지정한 기간(기본 34봉)을 기준으로
매수·매도 거래량의 이동평균선을 각각 계산합니다.
이는 ‘정상적인 거래량 수준’을 판단하는 기준선으로 활용됩니다.
이상치 탐지 (Whale Activity Detection)
현재 거래량이 평균 거래량의 n배(기본 4배)를 초과할 경우,
그 구간을 세력 개입 구간(Whale Zone) 으로 판단합니다.
양봉에서 급증 → 세력 매수 (Whale Buy)
음봉에서 급증 → 세력 매도 (Whale Sell)
시각적 표시
초록색 기둥 : 세력 매수 거래량
빨간색 기둥 : 세력 매도 거래량
라벨 표시 (BUY / SELL) : 이상치 발생 시 차트 상단에 표시
평균선 표시 옵션 : 사용자가 원할 때 평균선을 켜거나 끌 수 있음
알림(Alerts)
세력의 매수·매도 신호가 감지되면,
알림 메시지를 통해 실시간으로 통보받을 수 있습니다.
(예: 🐋 Whale Buy - NVDA! 🟢)
⚙️ 지표의 의미
단순 거래량이 아니라, ‘평균 대비 비정상적 거래량’ 을 추적합니다.
즉, “세력이 본격적으로 움직이기 시작한 구간” 만 걸러내는 지표입니다.
노이즈가 많은 거래량 차트 속에서 의도 있는 거래의 흔적을 포착할 수 있습니다.
🚀 활용 예시
세력 매집 구간 포착 : 큰 매수 시그널이 반복적으로 발생하는 구간은 세력의 누적 매집 가능성을 의미함
단기 급등 신호 확인 : 매수 이상치가 발생한 직후 가격이 급등하는 경우가 많음
지지/저항 분석과 병행 활용 : 세력 매도 구간은 단기 저항으로 작용하는 경향이 있음

Nifty 50 Weighted Volume IndicatorThis takes the volume of the cash market as per the composite weighted average of the Nifty 50 Components.
You can use this at your discretion to take calls on Index trades.
PheeTrades - Value Area Levels (VAH / VAL / POC Visualizer)This script helps traders quickly visualize key Volume Profile–style levels such as Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and Point of Control (POC) using recent price and volume data.
While TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile tool is great for manual analysis, this indicator automatically calculates and plots approximate value zones directly on your chart — ideal for traders who want to identify high-probability support and resistance areas without drawing a fixed range every time.
Features:
Calculates short-term VAH, VAL, and POC based on a user-defined lookback period.
Plots color-coded levels for quick visual reference.
Helps identify “fair value” zones where most trading activity occurred.
Useful for detecting breakout or mean-reversion opportunities around value extremes.
How to use:
Apply the script to any chart and set your preferred lookback period.
VAH (red line): potential upper resistance or overbought zone.
VAL (green line): potential lower support or accumulation zone.
POC (orange line): price level with the highest traded activity — often a magnet for price.
Note:
This is a simplified Value Area model meant for educational and analytical use. It does not replace TradingView’s official Volume Profile or broker-level volume distribution data.
Kyle凯尔ATR精控引擎2.0What this indicator does
Blends Heikin Ashi smoothing with a Supertrend-style engine and an EMA filter to generate directional flips (Buy/Sell).
Auto-draws Supply/Demand zones with POI (point of interest) and marks BOS (Break of Structure).
Prints ATR-based Entry, Stop Loss, and TP1/TP2/TP3 levels; includes alerts.
Shows two dashboards: trend & momentum panel (top-right) and liquidity snapshot (bottom-right).
Adds auto trendlines and multi-timeframe horizontal S/R for context.
Quick start
Add the indicator to any symbol/timeframe.
Act on a fresh flip:
Long when direction flips Up and price is above EMA.
Short when direction flips Down and price is below EMA.
Look for confluence: reaction at Demand/Supply, BOS, trendline break, horizontal S/R, ADX > 20, supportive RSI and volume.
Manage risk with the ATR targets. Scale at TP1/TP2, let TP3 run (targets can “roll” after TP3 to rid trends).
Set alerts once per bar close for reliability.
How signals are formed
Heikin Ashi reduces noise by averaging price; ATR bands around HA price form two rails.
Direction flips when HA price crosses the opposite rail; EMA filter blocks counter-trend flips.
Buy/Sell signals are only valid on the bar close.
Supply/Demand, POI & BOS
Swing pivots create Supply (red) above and Demand (green) below; each zone shows a POI mdline.
When price breaks a zone boundary, the script stamps BOS at the midline and retires the old zone.
ATR risk targets
On a fresh signal, the tool snapshots Entry, then computes SL and TP1/2/3 as ATR multiples.
When TP3 hits, the module rolls targets from the new price to help ride sustained trends.
Optional on-chart lines + labels show Entry/SL/TPs.
Dashboards (how to read)
Top-right panel:
Direction (Up/Down/Neutral)
Momentum (close vs close 10 bars ago)
RSI(2) smoothed by 7: oversold/overbought cues + value
Volume bias: OBV minus its EMA (>0 = bullish)
ADX: >20 suggests stronger trend conditions
Multi-TF direction: 1m/5m/15m/1h/4h/D; more agreement = stronger setups
Bottom-right panel (“Liquidity”):
HA bias & intensity %, relative volume vs 20-SMA, and ATR.
Overlays
Trendlines auto-connect short/long window extremes; alerts on breaks.
Multi-TF S/R draws recent pivot highs/lows across selected TFs with de-overlapped labels.
Inputs to tune (common)
ATR Period / Multiplier: higher = smoother, fewer flips.
EMA Period: higher = stricter trend filter.
Supply/Demand: pivot sensitivity (swing_length), zone depth (box_width), number of zones to keep.
Risk/Targets: slMultiplier, tp1/2/3Multiplier (in ATRs), line/label toggles, colors.
Dashboards/Overlays: enable, position, size, S/R TFs, label spacing.
Suggested starting points (XAUUSD, intraday)
ATR(14), ATR Mult 1.3–1.6, EMA 9–21.
Risk: SL = 1.0–1.2 ATR; TPs at 1/2/3 ATR.
S/D: swing_length 8–12, box_width ~2–3.
Adjust per instrument and timeframe.
Example playbooks
Trend continuation: Fresh Buy (Up + above EMA) + pullback into Demand or near the midline; ADX > 20 preferred; scale at TP1/TP2, let TP3 run.
BOS retest: After BOS, trade the first retest into the broken area/POI in alignment with higher-TF direction; confirm with volume bias.
Breakout: Combine trendline break + Buy/Sell flip + S/R breach. Avoid low-liquidity hours.
Alerts included
Buy signal / Sell signal
Trendline break (Up/Down)
TP1/TP2/TP3 reached
Use “Once per bar close”.

VipPro VWAP Momentum Tracker — Auto Buy/Sell + Fibonacci TPVipPro VWAP Momentum Tracker is an auxiliary tool designed to complement the main VipPro Realtime indicator.
It is primarily used on lower timeframes to filter false entries and refine intraday precision.
The script combines VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) with short-term momentum analysis and Fibonacci-based target projection.
It automatically generates two technical profit levels derived from Fibonacci extensions — 1.27 and 1.61 — providing a structured approach to short-term trade management.
VWAP acts as the dynamic reference line (orange).
When price is above VWAP, it reflects buying pressure and potential long setups.
When price is below VWAP, it suggests selling pressure and potential short opportunities.
The VWAP represents the market’s fair-value zone based on both price and volume, making it one of the most reliable metrics for identifying institutional positioning and volume-weighted trend direction.
This tool can be used independently or in combination with VipPro Realtime, especially when confirming signals from the upper dashboard that summarizes:
Market trend
Liquidity conditions
Momentum strength
RSI and volatility context
Overbought/Oversold signals
Results may vary depending on the trader’s experience and ability to interpret market structure in conjunction with VWAP behavior and momentum alignment.
Statistical Price Deviation Index (MAD/VWMA)SPDI is a statistical oscillator designed to detect potential price reversal zones by measuring how far price deviates from its typical behavior within a defined rolling window.
Instead of using momentum or moving averages like traditional indicators, SPDI applies robust statistics - a rolling median and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) - to calculate a normalized measure of price displacement. This normalization keeps the output bounded (from −1 to +1 by default), producing a stable and consistent oscillator that adapts to changing volatility conditions.
The second line in SPDI uses a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) instead of a simple price median. This creates a complementary oscillator showing statistically weighted deviations based on traded volume. When both oscillators align in their extremes, strong confluence reversal signals are generated.
How It Works
For each bar, SPDI calculates the median price of the last N bars (default 100).
It then measures how far the current bar’s midpoint deviates from that rolling median.
The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of those distances defines a “normal” range of fluctuation.
The deviation is normalized and compressed via a tanh mapping, keeping the oscillator in fixed boundaries (−1 to +1).
The same logic is applied to the VWMA line to gauge volume-weighted deviations.
How to Use
The blue line (Price MAD) represents pure price deviation.
The green line (VWMA Disp) shows the volume-weighted deviation.
Overbought (red) zones indicate statistically extreme upward deviation -> potential short-term overextension.
Oversold (green) zones indicate statistically extreme downward deviation -> potential rebound area.
Confluence signals (both lines hitting the same extreme) often mark strong reversal points.
Settings Tips
Lookback length controls how much historical data defines “normal” behavior. Larger = smoother, smaller = more sensitive.
Smoothing (RMA length) can reduce noise without changing the overall statistical logic.
Output scale can be set to either −1..+1 or 0..100, depending on your visual preference.
Alerts and color fills are fully customizable in the Style tab.
Summary:
SPDI transforms raw price and volume data into a statistically bounded deviation index. When both Price MAD and VWMA Disp reach joint extremes, it highlights probable market turning points - offering traders a clean, data-driven way to spot potential reversals ahead of time.
Vip Pro Realtime VipPro Realtime — Technical Overview
VipPro Realtime is a multi-layer analytical indicator designed for real-time liquidity and momentum tracking across all markets on TradingView.
It integrates price structure, volatility, and volume dynamics into a unified dashboard that allows traders to visually interpret market phases in seconds.
🔹 Core Components
Directional Framework (Trend Logic)
VipPro Realtime uses a dual-EMA structure to determine short- and mid-term momentum alignment.
When both layers confirm, the background color changes to visualize the prevailing trend:
🟢 Green → bullish momentum
🔴 Red → bearish momentum
⚪ Gray → corrective or neutral phase
Liquidity & Volume Mapping
The script evaluates volume pressure relative to its moving average and applies a dynamic volume-to-volatility ratio.
This helps detect where actual market participation occurs instead of relying only on price movement.
RSI & Volatility Filters
RSI and ATR values are normalized to reduce noise.
The indicator highlights overbought/oversold conditions and provides contextual volatility levels to help avoid false signals in low-liquidity environments.
VWAP Integration
A VWAP baseline defines fair-value zones and helps identify extension points for potential mean reversion setups.
Open Interest Layer (OI Monitor)
When available, the indicator requests aggregated open interest data from related perpetual markets and calculates short-term deltas to visualize:
📈 Increasing OI with rising price → potential long buildup
📉 Increasing OI with falling price → potential short buildup
⚠️ Decreasing OI → profit-taking or liquidation reduction
Wave & Fibonacci Targeting
The tool automatically identifies impulsive and corrective phases and projects short-term expansion levels (1.27 and 1.61) based on recent swings.
Dashboard Interface
The top-center table summarizes all key parameters:
Trend direction
Liquidity state
Momentum strength
Volatility context
RSI condition
Signal status
OI condition
🔹 Use Case
VipPro Realtime is built for traders who need quantitative confirmation of price behavior rather than subjective pattern recognition.
It helps interpret when a movement is supported by real liquidity inflow/outflow, allowing better timing for entries and exits across intraday or swing strategies.
🔹 Compatibility
✅ Works on all TradingView timeframes
✅ Applicable to crypto, forex, stocks, and commodities
✅ Requires no external data feeds or third-party services
🔹 Important Note
This script does not provide financial advice or guaranteed results.
Its purpose is to enhance situational awareness by merging multiple layers of market data (trend, volume, momentum, and OI) into one simplified view.
Traders should always confirm signals with their own risk management and market understanding.

Advanced Weis Wave Volume [Afnan]Advanced Weis Wave Volume is an enhanced upgrade of the classic Weis Wave concept. It measures accumulated volume within price swings to show where buying and selling pressure truly shift — but with one major edge: optional consolidation detection.
Most wave volume indicators simply plot bullish and bearish waves. Advanced Weis Wave Volume goes further by giving you the choice to highlight sideways or low-momentum consolidation phases, making it easy to spot when the market lacks real momentum. This helps traders instantly filter out weak, low-probability setups and focus only on the high-energy waves that truly matter.
⚙️ Key Features
Weis Wave Method – Uses ATR-based wave calculation to identify directional volume accumulation with precision.
Optional Consolidation Highlighting – You control it. Enable or disable consolidation detection based on your trading style. When enabled, it visually marks low-momentum or range-bound conditions, helping you instantly recognize when the market is consolidating.
Smart Volume Alignment – Choose to include or exclude the reversal candle's volume in new waves for more accurate readings.
Clear Visuals – Color-coded waves for Bullish (Green), Bearish (Red), and optional Consolidation (Orange) phases.
Compact Status Table – Displays the current market condition (Bullish, Bearish, or Consolidation) directly on your chart.
Flexible Display Options – Plot all waves above zero line, customize colors, and control what information you see.
💡 Why This Indicator Is Superior
✅ vs. Other Wave Volume Indicators:
Others only show waves; they can't identify consolidation. Advanced Weis Wave Volume gives you the option to enable consolidation detection — saving you time by automatically filtering weak market phases when you need it.
✅ vs. Standard Volume Bars:
Regular volume bars show isolated candle data. Advanced Weis Wave Volume shows accumulated directional pressure, revealing true trend strength and institutional activity.
✅ vs. Basic Weis Wave Indicators:
Standard Weis Wave indicators lack consolidation awareness. This indicator adds that layer of intelligence while keeping the classic wave calculation intact.
Bottom Line:
This is the only Weis Wave volume indicator that gives you control over consolidation filtering. Others show every move equally — Advanced Weis Wave Volume shows what actually matters, when you want it to.
📈 How to Use
Trading with the Waves:
🟢 Green Waves (Bullish): Building buying pressure — look for long setups.
🔴 Red Waves (Bearish): Rising selling pressure
🟠 Orange Zones (Consolidation): (When enabled) Market is ranging — avoid new trades .
Large waves: Strong trends and high-probability continuations.
Shrinking waves: Weakening momentum or possible reversal ahead.
Critical Insight - Avoiding False Volume Signals:
Large waves aren't always reliable. If you see a wave colored in orange (consolidation), it means the market was moving sideways but no real directional momentum.
This is crucial because:
❌ A big green wave in consolidation ≠ strong upside buying
❌ A big red wave in consolidation ≠ strong downside selling
✅ These are just range-bound volume accumulations that mislead traders
With consolidation detection enabled, you can instantly identify and ignore these deceptive Consolidation waves, focusing only on directional volume that actually reflects true buying or selling pressure. This prevents you from entering trades based on false volume signals during sideways markets.
📌 Practical Applications:
Breakout Confirmation: Real breakouts show expanding volume waves; false breakouts show weak waves or consolidation-marked volume.
Trend Validation: In a healthy trend, waves in the direction of the move are stronger, larger, and show clear directional color (green/red).
Consolidation Avoidance: (When enabled) Orange zones warn you to step aside and preserve capital — even if the wave looks large. Size doesn't matter if momentum is absent.
Filter False Volume: Avoid trading large waves that occur during consolidation — they don't represent genuine directional moves, just sideways accumulation.
Divergence Detection: Price makes new highs/lows, but wave volume shrinks — a sign of exhaustion or reversal.
Analyzing Ranges: During accumulation or distribution, Advanced Weis Wave Volume helps identify how institutional players are participating within the range — revealing when a breakout is likely to occur.
✨ The Competitive Advantage
Many Weis Wave indicators exist on TradingView - they all show volume waves. Only Advanced Weis Wave Volume gives you optional consolidation detection. That single feature transforms wave volume from a pure analysis tool into a flexible trading system that adapts to your style.
JOPA Channel (Dual-Volumed) v1 [JopAlgo]JOPA Channel (Dual-Volumed) v1
Short title: JOPAV1 • License: MPL-2.0 • Provider: JopAlgo
We have developed our own, first channel-based trading indicator and we’re making it available to all traders. The goal was a channel that breathes with the tape—built on a volume-weighted backbone—so the outcome stays lively instead of static. That led to the JOPA Channel.
All important features (at a glance)
In one line: A Rolling-VWAP channel whose width adapts with two volumes (RVOL + dollar-flow), adds order-flow asymmetry (OBV tilt) and regime awareness (Efficiency Ratio), and frames risk with outer containment bands from residual extremes—so you see fair value, momentum, and exhaustion in one view.
Feature list
Rolling VWAP centerline: Tracks where volume traded (fair value).
Dual-volume width: Bands expand/contract with relative volume and value traded (price×volume).
OBV tilt: Upper/lower widths skew toward the side actually pushing.
Regime adapter (ER): Tighter in trend, wider in chop—automatically.
Outer containment rails: Residual-extreme ceilings/floors, smoothed + margin.
20% / 80% guides: 20% light blue (discount), 80% light red (premium).
Squeeze dots (optional): Orange circles below candles during compression.
Non-repainting: Uses rolling sums and past-only math; no lookahead.
Default visual in this release
Containment rails + fill: ON (stepline, medium).
Inner Value rails + fill: Rails OFF (stepline, thin), fill ON (drawn only if rails are shown).
20% & 80% guides: ON (dashed, thin; 20% light blue, 80% light red).
Squeeze dots: OFF by default (orange circles when enabled).
What you see on the chart
RVWAP (centerline): Your compass for fair value.
Inner Value Bands (optional): Tight rails for breakouts and pullback timing.
Outer Containment Bands (default ON): High-confidence ceilings/floors for targets and fades.
20% / 80% guides: Quick read of “where in the channel” price is sitting.
Squeeze dots (optional): Volatility compression heads-up (no text labels).
Non-repainting note: The indicator does not revise closed bars. Forecast-Lock uses linear regression to extrapolate 1–3 bars ahead without using future data.
How to use it
Core reads (works on any timeframe)
Bias: Above a rising RVWAP → long bias; below a falling RVWAP → short bias.
Breakouts (momentum): Close beyond an Inner Value rail with RVOL ≥ threshold (alert provided).
Reversions (fades): Tag Outer Containment, stall, then close back inside → expect mean reversion toward RVWAP.
20/80 timing:
At/above 80% (light red) → premium/exhaustion risk; trim longs or consider fades if RVOL cools.
At/below 20% (light blue) → discount/exhaustion risk; trim shorts or consider longs if RVOL cools.
Squeeze clusters: When dots bunch up, expect a range break; use the Breakout alert as confirmation.
Playbooks by trading style
Day Trading (1–5m)
Setup: Keep the chart clean (Containment ON, Value rails OFF). Toggle Inner Value ON when hunting a breakout or timing a pullback.
Pullback Long: Dip to RVWAP / Lower Value with sub-threshold RVOL, then a close back above RVWAP → long.
Stop: Just beyond Lower Containment or the pullback swing.
Targets (1:1:1): ⅓ at RVWAP, ⅓ at Upper Value, ⅓ trail toward Upper Containment.
Breakout Long: After a squeeze cluster, take the Breakout Long alert (close > Upper Value, RVOL ≥ min). If no retest, demand the next bar holds outside.
Range Fade: Only when RVWAP is flat and dots cluster; short Upper Containment → RVWAP (mirror for longs at the lower rail).
Intraday (15m–1H)
HTF compass: Take bias from 4H.
Pullback Long: “Touch & reclaim” of RVWAP while RVOL cools; enter on the reclaim close or break of that candle’s high.
Breakout: Run Inner Value ON; act on Breakout alerts (RVOL gate ≈ 1.10–1.15 typical).
Avoid low-probability fades against the 4H slope unless RVWAP is flat.
Swing (4H–1D)
Continuation: In uptrends, buy pullbacks to RVWAP / Lower Value with sub-threshold RVOL; scale at Upper Containment.
Adds: Post-squeeze Breakout Long adds; trail on RVWAP or Lower Value.
Fades: Prefer when RVWAP flattens and price oscillates between containments.
Position (1D+)
Framework: Daily RVWAP slope + position within containment.
Add rule: Each reclaim of RVWAP after a dip is an add; trim into Upper Containment or near 80% light red.
Sizing: Containment distance is larger—size down and trail on RVWAP.
Inputs & Settings (complete)

ER Width Min/Max: Maps ER into a width factor (tighter in trend, wider in chop).
Band Tracking (inner value rails)
Tracking Mode:
Base: Pure base rails.
Parallel-Lock: Smooth RVWAP & width; track in parallel.
Slope-Lock: Adds a fraction of recent slope (momentum-friendly).
Forecast-Lock: 1–3 bar extrapolation via linreg (non-repainting on closed bars).
Attach Strength (0..1): Blend tracked rails vs base rails.
Tracking Smooth Length: EMA smoothing of RVWAP and width.
Slope Influence / Forecast Lead Bars: Gains for the chosen mode.

Inner & Containment fills: ON.
Containment rails: ON (stepline, medium).
20% / 80% guides: ON — 20% light blue, 80% light red, dashed, thin.
Squeeze dots: OFF by default (orange circles below candles when enabled).
Practical templates (copy/paste into a plan)
Momentum Breakout
Context: Squeeze cluster near RVWAP; Inner Value ON.
Trigger: Breakout Long (close > Upper Value & RVOL ≥ min).
Stop: Below Lower Value (tight) or below RVWAP (safer).
Targets (1:1:1): ⅓ Value → ⅓ Containment → ⅓ trail on RVWAP.
Pullback Continuation
Context: Uptrend; dip to RVWAP / Lower Value with cooling RVOL.
Trigger: Close back above RVWAP or break of reclaim candle’s high.
Stop: Just outside Lower Containment or pullback swing.
Targets: RVWAP → Upper Value → Upper Containment.
Containment Reversion (range)
Context: RVWAP flat; repeated containment tags.
Trigger: Stall at containment, then close back inside.
Stop: A step beyond that containment.
Target: RVWAP; runner only if RVOL stays muted.
Alerts included
DVWAP Breakout Long / Short (Value Bands)
Top Zone / Bottom Zone (20% / 80% guides)
Tip: On lower TFs, act on Breakout alerts with higher-TF bias (e.g., trade 5–15m in the direction of 1H/4H RVWAP slope/position).
Best practices
Let RVWAP be the compass; if unsure, wait until price picks a side.
Respect RVOL; low-RVOL breaks are prone to fail.
Use guides for timing, not certainty. Pair 20/80 zones with flow context.
Start with defaults; change one knob at a time.
Common pitfalls
Fading every containment touch → only fade when RVWAP is flat or RVOL cools.
Over-tuning inputs → the defaults are robust; small tweaks go a long way.
Fighting the higher timeframe on low TFs → expensive habit.

Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.
**Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):**
- EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures)
- GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures)

- Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures)
**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.
## How to Use
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. The indicator displays in a separate pane (MACD) and overlay (signals/volume bars)
3. Default settings work well for most assets, but can be customized
### Signal Interpretation
### Visual Signals
**Visual Signals:**
- **Green "BUY" label** - Bullish MACD crossover confirmed by high volume
- **Red "SELL" label** - Bearish MACD crossunder confirmed by high volume
- **Green/Red candles** - Highlight bars with volume exceeding the threshold
- **Light green/red background** - Emphasizes signal bars on the chart
**Information Table:**
A detailed information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane, providing real-time transparency about the indicator's operation:
- **Chart:** Current symbol being analyzed
- **Exchange:** The exchange or data feed being used
- **Pair:** The currency pair or asset name extracted from the ticker
- **Volume From:** The actual symbol used for volume analysis
- Orange color indicates CME or COMEX futures are being used (automatic institutional volume)
- Yellow color indicates native volume from the chart symbol is being used
- Hover tooltip shows whether automatic futures mapping is active
- **High Volume:** Current status showing YES (green) when volume exceeds threshold, NO (gray) otherwise
This table ensures complete transparency and allows you to verify that the correct volume source is being used for your analysis.
**Volume Analysis:**
- Gray histogram bars = Normal volume
- Red histogram bars = High volume (exceeds threshold)
- Green line = Volume moving average baseline
**MACD Analysis:**
- Blue line = MACD line (momentum indicator)
- Orange line = Signal line (trend confirmation)
- Gray dotted line = Zero line (bullish above, bearish below)
### Parameter Customization
**MACD Parameters:**
- Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths for different sensitivities
- Shorter periods = More signals, faster response
- Longer periods = Fewer signals, less noise
**Volume Parameters:**
- **Volume MA Period:** Higher values smooth volume analysis
- **High Volume Ratio:** Lower values (1.5x) = More signals; Higher values (3.0x) = Fewer, stronger signals
- **Volume Lookback Bars:** Controls how recent the volume spike must be
**Direction Filters:**
- **Only Buy Signals:** Enables long-only strategy mode
- **Only Sell Signals:** Enables short-only strategy mode
### Alert Configuration
The indicator includes three alert types:
1. **Buy Signal Alert** - Triggers when bullish signal appears
2. **Sell Signal Alert** - Triggers when bearish signal appears
3. **High Volume Alert** - Triggers when volume exceeds threshold
To set up alerts:
1. Click the indicator name → "Add alert on Smart MACD Volume Trader"
2. Select desired alert condition
3. Configure notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.)
## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.
## Technical Details
**Calculations:**
- MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength)
- MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength)
- MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA
- Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength)
- Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume
- High Volume: Current volume >= Volume MA × Ratio
**Signal logic:**
```
Buy Signal = (MACD crosses above Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
Sell Signal = (MACD crosses below Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
```

How to interpret:
🟢 Bull Order Block: Green zone where institutional buyers entered strongly → Potential support
🔴 Bear Order Block: Red zone where institutional sellers entered strongly → Potential resistance
▸ VOLUME DELTA
Volume Delta measures the difference between buying and selling volume in each candle, revealing which side of the market is dominating.
How to interpret:
✅ Positive Delta (green histogram): Buyers dominating → Bullish pressure
❌ Negative Delta (red histogram): Sellers dominating → Bearish pressure

📚 ADVANCED CONCEPTS
▸ WHAT ARE ORDER BLOCKS?
Order Blocks represent zones where "smart money" (institutions, whales) accumulated or distributed positions. When price returns to these zones, there is high probability of reaction due to:
Pending limit orders
Psychological levels
Institutional value zones
▸ VOLUME DELTA VS NORMAL VOLUME
Normal volume shows only QUANTITY of trades.
Volume Delta shows DIRECTION (who is winning the battle):
High volume + Positive delta = Strong accumulation 🚀
High volume + Negative delta = Strong distribution 📉
▸ MARKET REGIME (ADX)
ADX measures TREND STRENGTH:
ADX > 25: Strong trend (best time to trade)
ADX < 20: Sideways/ranging market (avoid trades)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Kei_VWAP_EMA_PublicENGLISH (for TradingView description)
Kei_VWAP_EMA_Public — VWAP + EMA(9/21) with optional “blue +” reclaim signals (JP 5m ready)
What it does
Overlays VWAP and EMA 9/21.
Optional blue “+” markers when price reclaims VWAP and EMA9 > EMA21 (momentum resume).
Optional volume confirmation (e.g., ×1.2 of the 5-bar average).
Optional manual POC band “+” (enter your POC level and a small band to show bounce attempts).
Optional 9:30 JST vertical line for Japan cash open routine.
Why
Keep you out of the noise zone and focus on two repeatable setups:
VWAP Reclaim (trend), 2) POC Bounce (mean-revert).
How to use (playbook, 5-min tuned)
Timeframe: 5m (works 1–15m).
VWAP Reclaim “+”: consider a buy stop above the signal bar’s high.
TP1 ≈ +1×ATR, TP2 ≈ +2×ATR; SL = EMA21 break or VWAP failure.
If it doesn’t progress within 10–15 minutes, consider a time stop.
POC Bounce “+”: enable in inputs, set POC level and band (e.g., ±3). Aim for quick pop to EMA9 → VWAP.
Risk guardrails: no averaging-down, always OCO, daily loss cap ≈ 0.8% of total active trading equity (JP+US combined).
Inputs
Show VWAP / EMA9 / EMA21, Line width
Show blue “+” markers, Require volume boost, Volume multiplier
Enable POC band “+”, POC level, POC band width
Show 9:30 line (JP)

Cumulative Hybrid Delta# 📊 CUMULATIVE HYBRID DELTA
## The Most Advanced Volume Delta Indicator for Crypto & Forex Traders
---
## WHAT IS IT?
**Cumulative Hybrid Delta** reveals **who is in control of the market** — buyers or sellers — in real-time. By analyzing volume imbalances and their accumulation over time, this indicator detects market pressure before price moves, giving you the edge you need.
**Stop guessing the market's direction. Start seeing it.**
---
## WHAT IT SHOWS
### 🟢 Buying Pressure
Green signals indicate accumulated buyer dominance. Watch for rising green accumulation in downtrends for reversal opportunities.
### 🔴 Selling Pressure
Red signals show accumulated seller control. Perfect for catching trend exhaustion and potential corrections.
### 💛 Cumulative Delta Line (Yellow)
The heart of the indicator. This line accumulates all delta pressure over your selected period. Rising = bullish momentum building. Falling = bearish pressure intensifying.
### 📊 Delta Bars
Individual bar pressure shown as histogram. Each bar tells you the exact buy/sell imbalance for that candle. Track momentum strength in real-time.
### 🕯️ Wick Analysis
Upper wicks show rejected resistance (seller pressure). Lower wicks reveal bounces from support (buyer pressure). Critical for spotting reversals before they happen.
### ⚡ Extreme Zones (Red & Green Lines)
Auto-calculated overbought and oversold levels. When delta enters these zones, market reversal becomes highly probable. Perfect for taking profits or entering counter-trades.
---
## WHY TRADERS LOVE IT
✅ **5 Hybrid Algorithms** - Switch between different delta calculation methods (Price Position, Wick-Corrected, Close-Open Ratio, Classic, or Full Hybrid)
✅ **Adaptive Technology** - Works perfectly on ANY timeframe and market condition (calm days, volatile days, crypto rallies, forex ranges)
✅ **Spot & Futures Ready** - Whether you trade Bitcoin spot on Binance or micro contracts, this indicator adapts seamlessly
✅ **Real-Time Alerts** - 5 automated alerts catch key turning points so you never miss a setup
✅ **Professional Dashboard** - Live metrics table shows bar delta, cumulative delta, wicks, zone status, and trend at a glance
✅ **Bilingual** - English and Russian interface. Switch languages in settings instantly
✅ **No Repainting** - Calculated from pure OHLCV data. Reliable backtesting. No fake signals
---
## KEY SETTINGS EXPLAINED
### 🧠 DELTA ALGORITHM (Core Feature)
- **Hybrid** (Recommended) - Combines price position (70%) + wick analysis (30%) for maximum accuracy
- **Price Position** - Pure price location in the range (simple & effective)
- **Wick Corrected** - Focuses on rejected pressure (great for reversals)
- **Close-Open** - Traditional bar momentum
- **Classic** - Standard fixed ratio method
### 📊 AGGREGATION TYPE
- **Sum** (Default) - Total delta over period (best for signals)
- **SMA** - Smoothed average (cleaner chart)
- **EMA** - Exponential weighted (faster response)
- **Cumulative** - Pure running total (academic analysis)
### 🤖 ADAPTIVE MODES
- **ATR-Based** (Recommended) - Adjusts to volatility using Average True Range
- **Volatility-Based** - Uses standard deviation for adaptation
- **Range-Based** - Adjusts to candle size
**Why adaptive?** Because a signal on a calm day is different from a signal on an explosive rally. The indicator learns your market and adapts automatically.
### ⚡ CUSTOMIZATION
- Change all colors to match your chart theme
- Adjust zone sensitivity (manual or auto)
- Choose number format (K, M, B notation or full numbers)
- Display in USD or volume units
- Pick table position (9 locations available)
- Set font size (tiny to huge)
---
## WHAT YOU GET AT A GLANCE
**The Live Metrics Table Shows:**
- Current bar delta (buy vs sell pressure RIGHT NOW)
- Cumulative delta (accumulated pressure over time)
- Delta % (strength of pressure as a percentage)
- Upper wick (rejected resistance)
- Lower wick (bounces from support)
- Adaptive coefficient (volatility multiplier)
- Zone status (OVERBOUGHT / NORMAL / OVERSOLD)
- Trend direction (RISING / FALLING / FLAT)
**All updated in real-time. All on one clean dashboard.**
---
## THE 5 TRADING SIGNALS
1. **Zero Cross Alert** - Cumulative delta crosses zero = momentum shift detected
2. **Overbought Alert** - Enters red zone = buyers exhausted, sell signal
3. **Oversold Alert** - Enters green zone = sellers exhausted, buy signal
4. **Bullish Delta** - Bar delta turns positive = buying starts

Volume Surprise [LuxAlgo]The Volume Surprise tool displays the trading volume alongside the expected volume at that time, allowing users to spot unexpected trading activity on the chart easily.
The tool includes an extrapolation of the estimated volume for future periods, allowing forecasting future trading activity.
🔶 USAGE
We define Volume Surprise as a situation where the actual trading volume deviates significantly from its expected value at a given time.
Being able to determine if trading activity is higher or lower than expected allows us to precisely gauge the interest of market participants in specific trends.
A histogram constructed from the difference between the volume and expected volume is provided to easily highlight the difference between the two and may be used as a standalone.
The tool can also help quantify the impact of specific market events, such as news about an instrument. For example, an important announcement leading to volume below expectations might be a sign of market participants underestimating the impact of the announcement.
Like in the example above, it is possible to observe cases where the volume significantly differs from the expected one, which might be interpreted as an anomaly leading to a correction.
🔹 Detecting Rare Trading Activity
Expected volume is defined as the mean (or median if we want to limit the impact of outliers) of the volume grouped at a specific point in time. This value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
However, it is possible to adjust the indicator to overestimate/underestimate expected volume, allowing for highlighting excessively high or low volume at specific times.
In order to do this, select "Percentiles" as the summary method, and change the percentiles value to a value that is close to 100 (overestimate expected volume) or to 0 (underestimate expected volume).
In the example above, we are only interested in detecting volume that is excessively high, we use the 95th percentile to do so, effectively highlighting when volume is higher than 95% of the volumes recorded at that time.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Choosing the Right Periods
Our expected volume value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
For example, if only the hourly period is selected, volumes are grouped by their respective hours. As such, to get the expected volume for the hour 7 PM, we collect and group the historical volumes that occurred at 7 PM and average them to get our expected value at that time.
Users are not limited to selecting a single period, and can group volume using a combination of all the available periods.
Do note that when on lower timeframes, only having higher periods will lead to less precise expected values. Enabling periods that are too low might prevent grouping. Finally, enabling a lot of periods will, on the other hand, lead to a lot of groups, preventing the ability to get effective expected values.
In order to avoid changing periods by navigating across multiple timeframes, an "Auto Selection" setting is provided.
🔹 Group Length
The length setting allows controlling the maximum size of a volume group. Using higher lengths will provide an expected value on more historical data, further highlighting recurring patterns.
🔹 Recommended Assets
Obtaining the expected volume for a specific period (time of the day, day of the week, quarter, etc) is most effective when on assets showing higher signs of periodicity in their trading activity.
This is visible on stocks, futures, and forex pairs, which tend to have a defined, recognizable interval with usually higher trading activity.
Assets such as cryptocurrencies will usually not have a clearly defined periodic trading activity, which lowers the validity of forecasts produced by the tool, as well as any conclusions originating from the volume to expected volume comparisons.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Maximum number of records in a volume group for a specific period. Older values are discarded.
Smooth: Period of a SMA used to smooth volume. The smoothing affects the expected value.
🔹 Periods
Auto Selection: Automatically choose a practical combination of periods based on the chart timeframe.
Custom periods can be used if disabling "Auto Selection". Available periods include:
- Minutes
- Hours
- Days (can be: Day of Week, Day of Month, Day of Year)
- Months
- Quarters
🔹 Summary
Method: Method used to obtain the expected value. Options include Mean (default) or Percentile.
Percentile: Percentile number used if "Method" is set to "Percentile". A value of 50 will effectively use a median for the expected value.
🔹 Forecast
Forecast Window: Number of bars ahead for which the expected volume is predicted.
Style: Style settings of the forecast.
Pivot Regime Anchored VWAP [CHE] Pivot Regime Anchored VWAP — Detects body-based pivot regimes to classify swing highs and lows, anchoring volume-weighted average price lines directly at higher highs and lower lows for adaptive reference levels.
Summary
This indicator identifies shifts between top and bottom regimes through breakouts in candle body highs and lows, labeling swing points as higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, or higher lows. It then draws anchored volume-weighted average price lines starting from the most recent higher high and lower low, providing dynamic support and resistance that evolve with volume flow. These anchored lines differ from standard volume-weighted averages by resetting only at confirmed swing extremes, reducing noise in ranging markets while highlighting momentum shifts in trends.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often struggle with static reference lines that fail to adapt to changing market structures, leading to false breaks in volatile conditions or missed continuations in trends. By anchoring volume-weighted average price calculations to body pivot regimes—specifically at higher highs for resistance and lower lows for support—this design creates reference levels tied directly to price structure extremes. This approach addresses the problem of generic moving averages lagging behind swing confirmations, offering a more context-aware tool for intraday or swing trading.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Traditional volume-weighted average price indicators compute a running total from session start or fixed periods, often ignoring price structure.
- Architecture differences:
- Regime detection via body breakout logic switches between high and low focus dynamically.
- Anchoring limited to confirmed higher highs and lower lows, with historical recalculation for accurate line drawing.
- Polyline rendering rebuilds only on the last bar to manage performance.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer, more meaningful lines that start at swing points, making it easier to spot confluences with structure breaks rather than cluttered overlays from continuous calculations.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first calculates the maximum and minimum of each candle's open and close to define body highs and lows. It then scans a lookback window for the highest body high and lowest body low. A top regime triggers when the body high from the lookback period exceeds the window's highest, and a bottom regime when the body low falls below the window's lowest. These regime shifts confirm pivots only when crossing from one state to the other.
For top pivots, it compares the new body high against the previous swing high: if greater, it marks a higher high and anchors a new line; otherwise, a lower high. The same logic applies inversely for bottom pivots. Anchored lines use cumulative price-volume products and volumes from the anchor bar onward, subtracting prior cumulatives to isolate the segment. On pivot confirmation, it loops backward from the current bar to the anchor, computing and storing points for the line. New points append as bars advance, ensuring the line reflects ongoing volume weighting.
Initialization uses persistent variables to track the last swing values and anchor bars, starting with neutral states. Data flows from regime detection to pivot classification, then to anchoring and point accumulation, with lines rendered globally on the final bar.
Parameter Guide
Pivot Length — Controls the lookback window for detecting body breakouts, influencing pivot frequency and sensitivity to recent action. Shorter values catch more pivots in choppy conditions; longer smooths for major swings. Default: 30 (bars). Trade-offs/Tips: Min 1; for intraday, try 10–20 to reduce lag but watch for noise; on daily, 50+ for stability.
Show Pivot Labels — Toggles display of text markers at swing points, aiding quick identification of higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, or higher lows. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in multi-indicator setups to declutter; useful for backtesting structure.
HH Color — Sets the line and label color for higher high anchored lines, distinguishing resistance levels. Default: Red (solid). Trade-offs/Tips: Choose contrasting hues for dark/light themes; pair with opacity for fills if added later.
LL Color — Sets the line and label color for lower low anchored lines, distinguishing support levels. Default: Lime (solid). Trade-offs/Tips: As above; green shades work well for bullish contexts without overpowering candles.
Reading & Interpretation
Higher high labels and red lines indicate potential resistance zones where volume weighting begins at a new swing top, suggesting sellers may defend prior highs. Lower low labels and lime lines mark support from a fresh swing bottom, with the line's slope reflecting buyer commitment via volume. Lower highs or higher lows appear as labels without new anchors, signaling possible range-bound action. Line proximity to price shows overextension; crosses may hint at regime shifts, but confirm with volume spikes.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs above a rising lower low anchored line after higher low confirmation; filter with rising higher highs for uptrends. Use line breaks as trailing stops.
- Exits/Stops: In downtrends, exit shorts below a higher high line; set aggressive stops above it for scalps, conservative below for swings. Pair with momentum oscillators for divergence.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H–4H; on crypto 15M, shorten length to 15. Scale colors for dark themes; combine with higher timeframe anchors for confluence.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar logic ensures pivots confirm after the lookback period, with no repainting on historical bars—live bars may adjust until regime shift. No higher timeframe calls, so minimal repaint risk beyond standard delays. Resources include a 2000-bar history limit, label/polyline caps at 200/50, and loops for historical point filling (up to current bar count from anchor, typically under 500 iterations). Known limits: In extreme gaps or low-volume periods, anchors may skew; lines absent until first pivots.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the 30-bar length for balanced pivot detection across most assets. For too-frequent pivots in ranges, increase to 50 for fewer signals. If lines lag in trends, reduce to 20 and enable labels for visual cues. In low-volatility assets, widen color contrasts; test on 100-bar history to verify stability.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a structure-aware visualization layer for anchoring volume-weighted references at swing extremes, enhancing manual analysis of regimes and levels. It is not a standalone signal generator or predictive model—always integrate with broader context like order flow or news. Use alongside risk management and position sizing, not as isolated buy/sell triggers.
Many thanks to LuxAlgo for the original script "McDonald's Pattern ". The implementation for body pivots instead of wicks uses a = max(open, close), b = min(open, close) and then highest(a, length) / lowest(b, length). This filters noise from the wicks and detects breakouts over/under bodies. Unusual and targeted, super innovative.
