ADX Volatility Waves [BOSWaves]ADX Volatility Waves - Trend-Weighted Volatility Mapping with State-Based Wave Transitions
Overview
ADX Volatility Waves is a regime-aware volatility framework designed to map statistically significant price extremes through adaptive wave structures driven by trend strength.
Rather than treating volatility as a static dispersion metric, this indicator conditions all volatility expansion, contraction, and zone placement on ADX-derived trend intensity. Price behavior is interpreted through wave-like transitions between balance, expansion, and exhaustion states rather than isolated band interactions.
The result is a dynamic, gradient-based wave system that visually encodes volatility cycles and regime shifts in real time, allowing traders to contextualize price movement within trend-weighted volatility waves.
Price is evaluated not by static thresholds, but by its position and progression within adaptive volatility waves shaped by directional strength.
Conceptual Framework
ADX Volatility Waves is built on the premise that volatility unfolds in waves, not straight lines.
Traditional volatility tools identify dispersion but fail to account for how volatility behaves differently across trend regimes. By embedding ADX directly into volatility construction, this indicator ensures that volatility waves expand during strong directional phases and compress during weak or transitioning regimes.
Three guiding principles define the framework:
Volatility must be conditioned on trend strength
Extremes occur within zones, not at lines
Signals should emerge from completed wave transitions, not instantaneous touches
This reframes analysis from reactive mean-reversion toward regime-aware wave interpretation.
Theoretical Foundation
The indicator fuses directional movement theory with statistical volatility modeling.
Bollinger-derived dispersion provides the structural base, while ADX normalization controls the amplitude of volatility waves. As ADX increases, volatility waves widen and deepen; as ADX weakens, waves compress and tighten around equilibrium.
From this foundation, extended upper and lower wave zones are constructed and smoothed to represent statistically significant expansion and contraction phases.
At its core are three interacting systems:
ADX-Controlled Volatility Engine : Standard deviation is dynamically scaled using normalized ADX values, producing trend-weighted volatility waves.
Wave Zone Construction : Smoothed volatility boundaries are offset and expanded to form upper and lower wave zones, defining overextension and compression regions.
State-Based Wave Transition Logic : Signals occur only after price completes a full wave cycle: expansion into an extreme wave zone followed by a confirmed return to equilibrium.
This structure ensures that signals reflect completed volatility waves, not transient noise.
How It Works
ADX Volatility Waves processes price action through layered wave mechanics:
Trend-Weighted Volatility Calculation : Volatility boundaries are dynamically adjusted using ADX influence, allowing wave amplitude to scale with trend strength.
Structural Smoothing : Volatility boundaries are smoothed to stabilize wave geometry and reduce short-term distortions.
Wave Offset & Expansion : Upper and lower wave zones are positioned beyond equilibrium and expanded proportionally to volatility range, forming clearly defined expansion waves.
Gradient Wave Depth Mapping : Each wave zone is subdivided into multiple gradient layers, visually encoding increasing extremity as price moves deeper into a wave.
Wave State Tracking & Cooldown Control : The system tracks prior wave occupancy, enforces neutral stabilization periods, and applies cooldowns to prevent overlapping wave signals.
Compression Detection : Volatility width monitoring identifies compression phases, highlighting conditions where new volatility waves are likely to form.
Together, these processes create a continuous, adaptive wave map of volatility behavior.
Interpretation
ADX Volatility Waves reframes market reading around volatility cycles:
Upper Volatility Waves (Red Gradient) : Represent upside expansion phases. Deeper wave penetration indicates increased overextension relative to trend-adjusted volatility.
Lower Volatility Waves (Green Gradient) : Represent downside expansion phases. Sustained presence signals pressure, while exits toward balance suggest wave completion.
Equilibrium Zone : The neutral region between volatility waves. Confirmed re-entry into this zone marks the completion of a wave cycle and forms the basis for BUY and SELL signals.
Regime Context via ADX : Strong ADX regimes widen waves, reducing premature reversal signals. Weak ADX regimes compress waves, increasing sensitivity to reversion.
Wave progression and completion matter more than single-bar interactions.
Signal Logic & Visual Cues
ADX Volatility Waves produces single-entry BUY and SELL labels as its visual cues, plotted only when price first enters a volatility wave zone after the defined cooldown period.
Buy Signal (Bottom Zone Entry) : A BUY label appears when price enters the lower volatility wave (oversold zone). This highlights potential expansion into undervalued extremes, providing visual context for trend assessment rather than a guaranteed execution trigger.
Sell Signal (Top Zone Entry) : A SELL label appears when price enters the upper volatility wave (overbought zone). This marks potential overextension into upper volatility extremes, serving as a contextual indicator of trend stress.
All labels respect cooldown tracking to prevent clustering. Alerts are tied directly to these zone-entry signals, and a separate alert monitors volatility squeezes for awareness of compression periods.
Strategy Integration
ADX Volatility Waves integrates cleanly into volatility-aware trading frameworks:
Wave Context Mapping : Use wave depth to assess expansion and exhaustion risk rather than forcing immediate entries.
Transition-Based Execution : Prioritize BUY and SELL signals formed after confirmed wave completion.
Trend-Regime Filtering : In strong ADX regimes, treat waves as continuation pressure. In weak regimes, favor completed wave reversions.
Volatility Cycle Awareness : Monitor compression phases to anticipate the emergence of new volatility waves.
Multi-Timeframe Alignment : Apply higher-timeframe ADX regimes to contextualize lower-timeframe wave behavior.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : ADX-normalized volatility expansion
Wave System : Smoothed, offset, expanded volatility waves
Visualization : Multi-layer gradient wave zones
Signal Logic : State-based wave transitions with cooldown enforcement
Alerts : Wave entry, wave completion, volatility compression
Performance Profile : Lightweight, real-time optimized overlay
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:

Reduced Effectiveness:
Erratic, news-driven price action
Illiquid markets with distorted volatility metrics
Integration Guidelines
Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves structure or trend tools
Discipline : Respect wave completion and cooldown logic
Risk Framing : Interpret wave depth probabilistically, not predictively
Regime Awareness : Always contextualize waves within ADX strength
Disclaimer
ADX Volatility Waves is a professional-grade volatility and regime-mapping tool. It does not predict price and does not guarantee profitability. Performance depends on market conditions, parameter calibration, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using this indicator as part of a comprehensive analytical framework incorporating trend, volatility, and structural context.

Big Trades Whale Detector [Volume Anomalies] By HKOverview The "Big Trade Detector" helps you spot institutional footprints by identifying volume anomalies that act as outliers compared to recent history. It uses statistical analysis (Standard Deviation) to filter out noise and highlight only significant buying or selling pressure.
Features:
Volume Decomposition: Approximates buy/sell volume based on price action within the candle (Close vs. Range).
3-Tier Detection: Uses dynamic thresholds to categorize volume spikes into Small, Medium, and Extreme events.
Smart Calculation: Compares current volume against the previous average to detect sudden shifts in momentum.
Visuals:
Green Circles (Below Bar): Unusual Buying Pressure (Support defense or Breakout).
Red Circles (Above Bar): Unusual Selling Pressure (Resistance defense or Dump).
Size Matters: The larger the circle, the higher the standard deviation (Sigma) of that volume event.
ORB Fusion🎯 CORE INNOVATION: INSTITUTIONAL ORB FRAMEWORK WITH FAILED BREAKOUT INTELLIGENCE
ORB Fusion represents a complete institutional-grade Opening Range Breakout system combining classic Market Profile concepts (Initial Balance, day type classification) with modern algorithmic breakout detection, failed breakout reversal logic, and comprehensive statistical tracking. Rather than simply drawing lines at opening range extremes, this system implements the full trading methodology used by professional floor traders and market makers—including the critical concept that failed breakouts are often higher-probability setups than successful breakouts .
The Opening Range Hypothesis:
The first 30-60 minutes of trading establishes the day's value area —the price range where the majority of participants agree on fair value. This range is formed during peak information flow (overnight news digestion, gap reactions, early institutional positioning). Breakouts from this range signal directional conviction; failures to hold breakouts signal trapped participants and create exploitable reversals.
Why Opening Range Matters:
1. Information Aggregation : Opening range reflects overnight news, pre-market sentiment, and early institutional orders. It's the market's initial "consensus" on value.
2. Liquidity Concentration : Stop losses cluster just outside opening range. Breakouts trigger these stops, creating momentum. Failed breakouts trap traders, forcing reversals.
3. Statistical Persistence : Markets exhibit range expansion tendency —when price accepts above/below opening range with volume, it often extends 1.0-2.0x the opening range size before mean reversion.
4. Institutional Behavior : Large players (market makers, institutions) use opening range as reference for the day's trading plan. They fade extremes in rotation days and follow breakouts in trend days.
Historical Context:
Opening Range Breakout methodology originated in commodity futures pits (1970s-80s) where floor traders noticed consistent patterns: the first 30-60 minutes established a "fair value zone," and directional moves occurred when this zone was violated with conviction. J. Peter Steidlmayer formalized this observation in Market Profile theory, introducing the "Initial Balance" concept—the first hour (two 30-minute periods) defining market structure.
📊 OPENING RANGE CONSTRUCTION
Four ORB Timeframe Options:
1. 5-Minute ORB (0930-0935 ET):
Captures immediate market direction during "opening drive"—the explosive first few minutes when overnight orders hit the tape.
Use Case:
• Scalping strategies
• High-frequency breakout trading
• Extremely liquid instruments (ES, NQ, SPY)
Characteristics:
• Very tight range (often 0.2-0.5% of price)
• Early breakouts common (7 of 10 days break within first hour)
• Higher false breakout rate (50-60%)
• Requires sub-minute chart monitoring
Psychology: Captures panic buyers/sellers reacting to overnight news. Range is small because sample size is minimal—only 5 minutes of price discovery. Early breakouts often fail because they're driven by retail FOMO rather than institutional conviction.
2. 15-Minute ORB (0930-0945 ET):
Balances responsiveness with statistical validity. Captures opening drive plus initial reaction to that drive.
Use Case:
• Day trading strategies
• Balanced scalping/swing hybrid
• Most liquid instruments
Characteristics:
• Moderate range (0.4-0.8% of price typically)
• Breakout rate ~60% of days
• False breakout rate ~40-45%
• Good balance of opportunity and reliability
Psychology: Includes opening panic AND the first retest/consolidation. Sophisticated traders (institutions, algos) start expressing directional bias. This is the "Goldilocks" timeframe—not too reactive, not too slow.
3. 30-Minute ORB (0930-1000 ET):
Classic ORB timeframe. Default for most professional implementations.
Use Case:
• Standard intraday trading
• Position sizing for full-day trades
• All liquid instruments (equities, indices, futures)
Characteristics:
• Substantial range (0.6-1.2% of price)
• Breakout rate ~55% of days
• False breakout rate ~35-40%
• Statistical sweet spot for extensions
Psychology: Full opening auction + first institutional repositioning complete. By 10:00 AM ET, headlines are digested, early stops are hit, and "real" directional players reveal themselves. This is when institutional programs typically finish their opening positioning.
Statistical Advantage: 30-minute ORB shows highest correlation with daily range. When price breaks and holds outside 30m ORB, probability of reaching 1.0x extension (doubling the opening range) exceeds 60% historically.
4. 60-Minute ORB (0930-1030 ET) - Initial Balance:
Steidlmayer's "Initial Balance"—the foundation of Market Profile theory.
Use Case:
• Swing trading entries
• Day type classification
• Low-frequency institutional setups
Characteristics:
• Wide range (0.8-1.5% of price)
• Breakout rate ~45% of days
• False breakout rate ~25-30% (lowest)
• Best for trend day identification
Psychology: Full first hour captures A-period (0930-1000) and B-period (1000-1030). By 10:30 AM ET, all early positioning is complete. Market has "voted" on value. Subsequent price action confirms (trend day) or rejects (rotation day) this value assessment.
Initial Balance Theory:
IB represents the market's accepted value area . When price extends significantly beyond IB (>1.5x IB range), it signals a Trend Day —strong directional conviction. When price remains within 1.0x IB, it signals a Rotation Day —mean reversion environment. This classification completely changes trading strategy.
🔬 LTF PRECISION TECHNOLOGY
The Chart Timeframe Problem:
Traditional ORB indicators calculate range using the chart's current timeframe. This creates critical inaccuracies:
Example:
• You're on a 5-minute chart
• ORB period is 30 minutes (0930-1000 ET)
• Indicator sees only 6 bars (30min ÷ 5min/bar = 6 bars)
• If any 5-minute bar has extreme wick, entire ORB is distorted
The Problem Amplifies:
• On 15-minute chart with 30-minute ORB: Only 2 bars sampled
• On 30-minute chart with 30-minute ORB: Only 1 bar sampled
• Opening spike or single large wick defines entire range (invalid)
Solution: Lower Timeframe (LTF) Precision:
ORB Fusion uses `request.security_lower_tf()` to sample 1-minute bars regardless of chart timeframe:
```
For 30-minute ORB on 15-minute chart:
- Traditional method: Uses 2 bars (15min × 2 = 30min)
- LTF Precision: Requests thirty 1-minute bars, calculates true high/low
```
Why This Matters:
Scenario: ES futures, 15-minute chart, 30-minute ORB
• Traditional ORB: High = 5850.00, Low = 5842.00 (range = 8 points)
• LTF Precision ORB: High = 5848.50, Low = 5843.25 (range = 5.25 points)
Difference: 2.75 points distortion from single 15-minute wick hitting 5850.00 at 9:31 AM then immediately reversing. LTF precision filters this out by seeing it was a fleeting wick, not a sustained high.
Impact on Extensions:
With inflated range (8 points vs 5.25 points):
• 1.5x extension projects +12 points instead of +7.875 points
• Difference: 4.125 points (nearly $200 per ES contract)
• Breakout signals trigger late; extension targets unreachable
Implementation:
```pinescript
getLtfHighLow() =>
float ha = request.security_lower_tf(syminfo.tickerid, "1", high)
float la = request.security_lower_tf(syminfo.tickerid, "1", low)
```
Function returns arrays of 1-minute high/low values, then finds true maximum and minimum across all samples.
When LTF Precision Activates:
Only when chart timeframe exceeds ORB session window:
• 5-minute chart + 30-minute ORB: LTF used (chart TF > session bars needed)
• 1-minute chart + 30-minute ORB: LTF not needed (direct sampling sufficient)
Recommendation: Always enable LTF Precision unless you're on 1-minute charts. The computational overhead is negligible, and accuracy improvement is substantial.
⚖️ INITIAL BALANCE (IB) FRAMEWORK
Steidlmayer's Market Profile Innovation:
J. Peter Steidlmayer developed Market Profile in the 1980s for the Chicago Board of Trade. His key insight: market structure is best understood through time-at-price (value area) rather than just price-over-time (traditional charts).
Initial Balance Definition:
IB is the price range established during the first hour of trading, subdivided into:
• A-Period : First 30 minutes (0930-1000 ET for US equities)
• B-Period : Second 30 minutes (1000-1030 ET)
A-Period vs B-Period Comparison:
The relationship between A and B periods forecasts the day:
B-Period Expansion (Bullish):
• B-period high > A-period high
• B-period low ≥ A-period low
• Interpretation: Buyers stepping in after opening assessed
• Implication: Bullish continuation likely
• Strategy: Buy pullbacks to A-period high (now support)
B-Period Expansion (Bearish):
• B-period low < A-period low
• B-period high ≤ A-period high
• Interpretation: Sellers stepping in after opening assessed
• Implication: Bearish continuation likely
• Strategy: Sell rallies to A-period low (now resistance)
B-Period Contraction:
• B-period stays within A-period range
• Interpretation: Market indecisive, digesting A-period information
• Implication: Rotation day likely, stay range-bound
• Strategy: Fade extremes, sell high/buy low within IB
IB Extensions:
Professional traders use IB as a ruler to project price targets:
Extension Levels:
• 0.5x IB : Initial probe outside value (minor target)
• 1.0x IB : Full extension (major target for normal days)
• 1.5x IB : Trend day threshold (classifies as trending)
• 2.0x IB : Strong trend day (rare, ~10-15% of days)
Calculation:
```
IB Range = IB High - IB Low
Bull Extension 1.0x = IB High + (IB Range × 1.0)
Bear Extension 1.0x = IB Low - (IB Range × 1.0)
```
Example:
ES futures:
• IB High: 5850.00
• IB Low: 5842.00
• IB Range: 8.00 points
Extensions:
• 1.0x Bull Target: 5850 + 8 = 5858.00
• 1.5x Bull Target: 5850 + 12 = 5862.00
• 2.0x Bull Target: 5850 + 16 = 5866.00
If price reaches 5862.00 (1.5x), day is classified as Trend Day —strategy shifts from mean reversion to trend following.
📈 DAY TYPE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Four Day Types (Market Profile Framework):
1. TREND DAY:
Definition: Price extends ≥1.5x IB range in one direction and stays there.
Characteristics:
• Opens and never returns to IB
• Persistent directional movement
• Volume increases as day progresses (conviction building)
• News-driven or strong institutional flow
Frequency: ~20-25% of trading days
Trading Strategy:
• DO: Follow the trend, trail stops, let winners run
• DON'T: Fade extremes, take early profits
• Key: Add to position on pullbacks to previous extension level
• Risk: Getting chopped in false trend (see Failed Breakout section)
Example: FOMC decision, payroll report, earnings surprise—anything creating one-sided conviction.
2. NORMAL DAY:
Definition: Price extends 0.5-1.5x IB, tests both sides, returns to IB.
Characteristics:
• Two-sided trading
• Extensions occur but don't persist
• Volume balanced throughout day
• Most common day type
Frequency: ~45-50% of trading days
Trading Strategy:
• DO: Take profits at extension levels, expect reversals
• DON'T: Hold for massive moves
• Key: Treat each extension as a profit-taking opportunity
• Risk: Holding too long when momentum shifts
Example: Typical day with no major catalysts—market balancing supply and demand.
3. ROTATION DAY:
Definition: Price stays within IB all day, rotating between high and low.
Characteristics:
• Never accepts outside IB
• Multiple tests of IB high/low
• Decreasing volume (no conviction)
• Classic range-bound action
Frequency: ~25-30% of trading days
Trading Strategy:
• DO: Fade extremes (sell IB high, buy IB low)
• DON'T: Chase breakouts
• Key: Enter at extremes with tight stops just outside IB
• Risk: Breakout finally occurs after multiple failures
Example: [/b> Pre-holiday trading, summer doldrums, consolidation after big move.
4. DEVELOPING:
Definition: Day type not yet determined (early in session).
Usage: Classification before 12:00 PM ET when IB extension pattern unclear.
ORB Fusion's Classification Algorithm:
```pinescript
if close > ibHigh:
ibExtension = (close - ibHigh) / ibRange
direction = "BULLISH"
else if close < ibLow:
ibExtension = (ibLow - close) / ibRange
direction = "BEARISH"
if ibExtension >= 1.5:
dayType = "TREND DAY"
else if ibExtension >= 0.5:
dayType = "NORMAL DAY"
else if close within IB:
dayType = "ROTATION DAY"
```
Why Classification Matters:
Same setup (bullish ORB breakout) has opposite implications:
• Trend Day : Hold for 2.0x extension, trail stops aggressively
• Normal Day : Take profits at 1.0x extension, watch for reversal
• Rotation Day : Fade the breakout immediately (likely false)
Knowing day type prevents catastrophic errors like fading a trend day or holding through rotation.
🚀 BREAKOUT DETECTION & CONFIRMATION
Three Confirmation Methods:
1. Close Beyond Level (Recommended):
Logic: Candle must close above ORB high (bull) or below ORB low (bear).
Why:
• Filters out wicks (temporary liquidity grabs)
• Ensures sustained acceptance above/below range
• Reduces false breakout rate by ~20-30%
Example:
• ORB High: 5850.00
• Bar high touches 5850.50 (wick above)
• Bar closes at 5848.00 (inside range)
• Result: NO breakout signal
vs.
• Bar high touches 5850.50
• Bar closes at 5851.00 (outside range)
• Result: BREAKOUT signal confirmed
Trade-off: Slightly delayed entry (wait for close) but much higher reliability.
2. Wick Beyond Level:
Logic: [/b> Any touch of ORB high/low triggers breakout.
Why:
• Earliest possible entry
• Captures aggressive momentum moves
Risk:
• High false breakout rate (60-70%)
• Stop runs trigger signals
• Requires very tight stops (difficult to manage)
Use Case: Scalping with 1-2 point profit targets where any penetration = trade.
3. Body Beyond Level:
Logic: [/b> Candle body (close vs open) must be entirely outside range.
Why:
• Strictest confirmation
• Ensures directional conviction (not just momentum)
• Lowest false breakout rate
Example: Trade-off: [/b> Very conservative—misses some valid breakouts but rarely triggers on false ones.
Volume Confirmation Layer:
All confirmation methods can require volume validation:
Volume Multiplier Logic: Rationale: [/b> True breakouts are driven by institutional activity (large size). Volume spike confirms real conviction vs. stop-run manipulation.
Statistical Impact: [/b>
• Breakouts with volume confirmation: ~65% success rate
• Breakouts without volume: ~45% success rate
• Difference: 20 percentage points edge
Implementation Note: [/b>
Volume confirmation adds complexity—you'll miss breakouts that work but lack volume. However, when targeting 1.5x+ extensions (ambitious goals), volume confirmation becomes critical because those moves require sustained institutional participation.
Recommended Settings by Strategy: [/b>
Scalping (1-2 point targets): [/b>
• Method: Close
• Volume: OFF
• Rationale: Quick in/out doesn't need perfection
Intraday Swing (5-10 point targets): [/b>
• Method: Close
• Volume: ON (1.5x multiplier)
• Rationale: Balance reliability and opportunity
Position Trading (full-day holds): [/b>
• Method: Body
• Volume: ON (2.0x multiplier)
• Rationale: Must be certain—large stops require high win rate
🔥 FAILED BREAKOUT SYSTEM
The Core Insight: [/b>
Failed breakouts are often more profitable [/b> than successful breakouts because they create trapped traders with predictable behavior.
Failed Breakout Definition: [/b>
A breakout that:
1. Initially penetrates ORB level with confirmation
2. Attracts participants (volume spike, momentum)
3. Fails to extend (stalls or immediately reverses)
4. Returns inside ORB range within N bars
Psychology of Failure: [/b>
When breakout fails:
• Breakout buyers are trapped [/b>: Bought at ORB high, now underwater
• Early longs reduce: Take profit, fearful of reversal
• Shorts smell blood: See failed breakout as reversal signal
• Result: Cascade of selling as trapped bulls exit + new shorts enter
Mirror image for failed bearish breakouts (trapped shorts cover + new longs enter).
Failure Detection Parameters: [/b>
1. Failure Confirmation Bars (default: 3): [/b>
How many bars after breakout to confirm failure?
Logic: Settings: [/b>
• 2 bars: Aggressive failure detection (more signals, more false failures)
• 3 bars Balanced (default)
• 5-10 bars: Conservative (wait for clear reversal)
Why This Matters:
Too few bars: You call "failed breakout" when price is just consolidating before next leg.
Too many bars: You miss the reversal entry (price already back in range).
2. Failure Buffer (default: 0.1 ATR): [/b>
How far inside ORB must price return to confirm failure?
Formula: Why Buffer Matters: clear rejection [/b> (not just hovering at level).
Settings: [/b>
• 0.0 ATR: No buffer, immediate failure signal
• 0.1 ATR: Small buffer (default) - filters noise
• [b>0.2-0.3 ATR: Large buffer - only dramatic failures count
Example: Reversal Entry System: [/b>
When failure confirmed, system generates complete reversal trade:
For Failed Bull Breakout (Short Reversal): [/b>
Entry: [/b> Current close when failure confirmed
Stop Loss: [/b> Extreme high since breakout + 0.10 ATR padding
Target 1: [/b> ORB High - (ORB Range × 0.5)
Target 2: Target 3: [/b> ORB High - (ORB Range × 1.5)
Example:
• ORB High: 5850, ORB Low: 5842, Range: 8 points
• Breakout to 5853, fails, reverses to 5848 (entry)
• Stop: 5853 + 1 = 5854 (6 point risk)
• T1: 5850 - 4 = 5846 (-2 points, 1:3 R:R)
• T2: 5850 - 8 = 5842 (-6 points, 1:1 R:R)
• T3: 5850 - 12 = 5838 (-10 points, 1.67:1 R:R)
[b>Why These Targets? [/b>
• T1 (0.5x ORB below high): Trapped bulls start panic
• T2 (1.0x ORB = ORB Mid): Major retracement, momentum fully reversed
• T3 (1.5x ORB): Reversal extended, now targeting opposite side
Historical Performance: [/b>
Failed breakout reversals in ORB Fusion's tracking system show:
• Win Rate: 65-75% (significantly higher than initial breakouts)
• Average Winner: 1.2x ORB range
• Average Loser: 0.5x ORB range (protected by stop at extreme)
• Expectancy: Strongly positive even with <70% win rate
Why Failed Breakouts Outperform: [/b>
1. Information Advantage: You now know what price did (failed to extend). Initial breakout trades are speculative; reversal trades are reactive to confirmed failure.
2. Trapped Participant Pressure: Every trapped bull becomes a seller. This creates sustained pressure.
3. Stop Loss Clarity: Extreme high is obvious stop (just beyond recent high). Breakout trades have ambiguous stops (ORB mid? Recent low? Too wide or too tight).
4. Mean Reversion Edge: Failed breakouts return to value (ORB mid). Initial breakouts try to escape value (harder to sustain).
Critical Insight: [/b>
"The best trade is often the one that trapped everyone else."
Failed breakouts create asymmetric opportunity because you're trading against [/b> trapped participants rather than with [/b> them. When you see a failed breakout signal, you're seeing real-time evidence that the market rejected directional conviction—that's exploitable.
📐 FIBONACCI EXTENSION SYSTEM
Six Extension Levels: [/b>
Extensions project how far price will travel after ORB breakout. Based on Fibonacci ratios + empirical market behavior.
1. 1.272x (27.2% Extension): [/b>
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 0.272)
Psychology: [/b> Initial probe beyond ORB. Early momentum + trapped shorts (on bull side) covering.
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~75-80% after confirmed breakout
Trading: [/b>
• First resistance/support after breakout
• Partial profit target (take 30-50% off)
• Watch for rejection here (could signal failure in progress)
Why 1.272? [/b> Related to harmonic patterns (1.272 is √1.618). Empirically, markets often stall at 25-30% extension before deciding whether to continue or fail.
2. 1.5x (50% Extension):
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 0.5)
Psychology: [/b> Breakout gaining conviction. Requires sustained buying/selling (not just momentum spike).
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~60-65% after confirmed breakout
Trading: [/b>
• Major partial profit (take 50-70% off)
• Move stops to breakeven
• Trail remaining position
Why 1.5x? [/b> Classic halfway point to 2.0x. Markets often consolidate here before final push. If day type is "Normal," this is likely the high/low for the day.
3. 1.618x (Golden Ratio Extension): [/b>
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 0.618)
Psychology: [/b> Strong directional day. Institutional conviction + retail FOMO.
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~45-50% after confirmed breakout
Trading: [/b>
• Final partial profit (close 80-90%)
• Trail remainder with wide stop (allow breathing room)
Why 1.618? [/b> Fibonacci golden ratio. Appears consistently in market geometry. When price reaches 1.618x extension, move is "mature" and reversal risk increases.
4. 2.0x (100% Extension): [/b>
Formula: ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 1.0)
Psychology: [/b> Trend day confirmed. Opening range completely duplicated.
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~30-35% after confirmed breakout
Trading: Why 2.0x? [/b> Psychological level—range doubled. Also corresponds to typical daily ATR in many instruments (opening range ~ 0.5 ATR, daily range ~ 1.0 ATR).
5. 2.618x (Super Extension):
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 1.618)
Psychology: [/b> Parabolic move. News-driven or squeeze.
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~10-15% after confirmed breakout
[b>Trading: Why 2.618? [/b> Fibonacci ratio (1.618²). Rare to reach—when it does, move is extreme. Often precedes multi-day consolidation or reversal.
6. 3.0x (Extreme Extension): [/b>
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 2.0)
Psychology: [/b> Market melt-up/crash. Only in extreme events.
[b>Probability of Reach: [/b> <5% after confirmed breakout
Trading: [/b>
• Close immediately if reached
• These are outlier events (black swans, flash crashes, squeeze-outs)
• Holding for more is greed—take windfall profit
Why 3.0x? [/b> Triple opening range. So rare it's statistical noise. When it happens, it's headline news.
Visual Example:
ES futures, ORB 5842-5850 (8 point range), Bullish breakout:
• ORB High : 5850.00 (entry zone)
• 1.272x : 5850 + 2.18 = 5852.18 (first resistance)
• 1.5x : 5850 + 4.00 = 5854.00 (major target)
• 1.618x : 5850 + 4.94 = 5854.94 (strong target)
• 2.0x : 5850 + 8.00 = 5858.00 (trend day)
• 2.618x : 5850 + 12.94 = 5862.94 (extreme)
• 3.0x : 5850 + 16.00 = 5866.00 (parabolic)
Profit-Taking Strategy:
Optimal scaling out at extensions:
• Breakout entry at 5850.50
• 30% off at 1.272x (5852.18) → +1.68 points
• 40% off at 1.5x (5854.00) → +3.50 points
• 20% off at 1.618x (5854.94) → +4.44 points
• 10% off at 2.0x (5858.00) → +7.50 points
[b>Average Exit: Conclusion: [/b> Scaling out at extensions produces 40% higher expectancy than holding for home runs.
📊 GAP ANALYSIS & FILL PSYCHOLOGY
[b>Gap Definition: [/b>
Price discontinuity between previous close and current open:
• Gap Up : Open > Previous Close + noise threshold (0.1 ATR)
• Gap Down : Open < Previous Close - noise threshold
Why Gaps Matter: [/b>
Gaps represent unfilled orders [/b>. When market gaps up, all limit buy orders between yesterday's close and today's open are never filled. Those buyers are "left behind." Psychology: they wait for price to return ("fill the gap") so they can enter. This creates magnetic pull [/b> toward gap level.
Gap Fill Statistics (Empirical): [/b>
• Gaps <0.5% [/b>: 85-90% fill within same day
• Gaps 0.5-1.0% [/b>: 70-75% fill within same day, 90%+ within week
• Gaps >1.0% [/b>: 50-60% fill within same day (major news often prevents fill)
Gap Fill Strategy: [/b>
Setup 1: Gap-and-Go
Gap opens, extends away from gap (doesn't fill).
• ORB confirms direction away from gap
• Trade WITH ORB breakout direction
• Expectation: Gap won't fill today (momentum too strong)
Setup 2: Gap-Fill Fade
Gap opens, but fails to extend. Price drifts back toward gap.
• ORB breakout TOWARD gap (not away)
• Trade toward gap fill level
• Target: Previous close (gap fill complete)
Setup 3: Gap-Fill Rejection
Gap fills (touches previous close) then rejects.
• ORB breakout AWAY from gap after fill
• Trade away from gap direction
• Thesis: Gap filled (orders executed), now resume original direction
[b>Example: Scenario A (Gap-and-Go):
• ORB breaks upward to $454 (away from gap)
• Trade: LONG breakout, expect continued rally
• Gap becomes support ($452)
Scenario B (Gap-Fill):
• ORB breaks downward through $452.50 (toward gap)
• Trade: SHORT toward gap fill at $450.00
• Target: $450.00 (gap filled), close position
Scenario C (Gap-Fill Rejection):
• Price drifts to $450.00 (gap filled) early in session
• ORB establishes $450-$451 after gap fill
• ORB breaks upward to $451.50
• Trade: LONG breakout (gap is filled, now resume rally)
ORB Fusion Integration: [/b>
Dashboard shows:
• Gap type (Up/Down/None)
• Gap size (percentage)
• Gap fill status (Filled ✓ / Open)
This informs setup confidence:
• ORB breakout AWAY from unfilled gap: +10% confidence (gap becomes support/resistance)
• ORB breakout TOWARD unfilled gap: -10% confidence (gap fill may override ORB)
[b>📈 VWAP & INSTITUTIONAL BIAS [/b>
[b>Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP): [/b>
Average price weighted by volume at each price level. Represents true "average" cost for the day.
[b>Calculation: Institutional Benchmark [/b>: Institutions (mutual funds, pension funds) use VWAP as performance benchmark. If they buy above VWAP, they underperformed; below VWAP, they outperformed.
2. [b>Algorithmic Target [/b>: Many algos are programmed to buy below VWAP and sell above VWAP to achieve "fair" execution.
3. [b>Support/Resistance [/b>: VWAP acts as dynamic support (price above) or resistance (price below).
[b>VWAP Bands (Standard Deviations): [/b>
• [b>1σ Band [/b>: VWAP ± 1 standard deviation
- Contains ~68% of volume
- Normal trading range
- Bounces common
• [b>2σ Band [/b>: VWAP ± 2 standard deviations
- Contains ~95% of volume
- Extreme extension
- Mean reversion likely
ORB + VWAP Confluence: [/b>
Highest-probability setups occur when ORB and VWAP align:
Bullish Confluence: [/b>
• ORB breakout upward (bullish signal)
• Price above VWAP (institutional buying)
• Confidence boost: +15%
Bearish Confluence: [/b>
• ORB breakout downward (bearish signal)
• Price below VWAP (institutional selling)
• Confidence boost: +15%
[b>Divergence Warning:
• ORB breakout upward BUT price below VWAP
• Conflict: Breakout says "buy," VWAP says "sell"
• Confidence penalty: -10%
• Interpretation: Retail buying but institutions not participating (lower quality breakout)
📊 MOMENTUM CONTEXT SYSTEM
[b>Innovation: Candle Coloring by Position
Rather than fixed support/resistance lines, ORB Fusion colors candles based on their [b>relationship to ORB :
[b>Three Zones: [/b>
1. Inside ORB (Blue Boxes): [/b>
[b>Calculation:
• Darker blue: Near extremes of ORB (potential breakout imminent)
• Lighter blue: Near ORB mid (consolidation)
[b>Trading: [/b> Coiled spring—await breakout.
[b>2. Above ORB (Green Boxes):
[b>Calculation: 3. Below ORB (Red Boxes):
Mirror of above ORB logic.
[b>Special Contexts: [/b>
[b>Breakout Bar (Darkest Green/Red): [/b>
The specific bar where breakout occurs gets maximum color intensity regardless of distance. This highlights the pivotal moment.
[b>Failed Breakout Bar (Orange/Warning): [/b>
When failed breakout is confirmed, that bar gets orange/warning color. Visual alert: "reversal opportunity here."
[b>Near Extension (Cyan/Magenta Tint): [/b>
When price is within 0.5 ATR of an extension level, candle gets tinted cyan (bull) or magenta (bear). Indicates "target approaching—prepare to take profit."
[b>Why Visual Context? [/b>
Traditional indicators show lines. ORB Fusion shows [b>context-aware momentum [/b>. Glance at chart:
• Lots of blue? Consolidation day (fade extremes).
• Progressive green? Trend day (follow).
• Green then orange? Failed breakout (reversal setup).
This visual language communicates market state instantly—no interpretation needed.
🎯 TRADE SETUP GENERATION & GRADING [/b>

📖 NARRATIVE DASHBOARD
[b>Innovation: Plain-English Market State [/b>
Most indicators show data. ORB Fusion explains what the data [b>means [/b>.
[b>Narrative Components: [/b>
[b>1. Phase: [/b>
• "📍 Building ORB..." (during ORB session)
• "📊 Trading Phase" (after ORB complete)
• "⏳ Pre-Market" (before ORB session)
[b>2. Status (Current Observation): [/b>
• "⚠️ Failed breakout - reversal likely"
• "🚀 Bullish momentum in play"
• "📉 Bearish momentum in play"
• "⚖️ Consolidating in range"
• "👀 Monitoring for setup"
[b>3. Next Level:
Tells you what to watch for:
• "🎯 1.5x @ 5854.00" (next extension target)
• "Watch ORB levels" (inside range, await breakout)
[b>4. Setup: [/b>
Current trade setup + grade:
• "LONG " (bullish breakout, A-grade)
• "🔥 SHORT REVERSAL " (failed bull breakout, A+-grade)
• "WAIT " (no setup)
[b>5. Reason: [/b>
Why this setup exists:
• "ORB Bullish Breakout"
• "Failed Bear Breakout - High Probability Reversal"
• "Range Fade - Near High"
[b>6. Tip (Market Insight):
Contextual advice:
• "🔥 TREND DAY - Trail stops" (day type is trending)
• "🔄 ROTATION - Fade extremes" (day type is rotating)
• "📊 Gap unfilled - magnet level" (gap creates target)
• "📈 Normal conditions" (no special context)
[b>Example Narrative:
```
📖 ORB Narrative
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Phase | 📊 Trading Phase
Status | 🚀 Bullish momentum in play
Next | 🎯 1.5x @ 5854.00
📈 Setup | LONG
Reason | ORB Bullish Breakout
💡 Tip | 🔥 TREND DAY - Trail stops
```
[b>Glance Interpretation: [/b>
"We're in trading phase. Bullish breakout happened (momentum in play). Next target is 1.5x extension at 5854. Current setup is LONG with A-grade. It's a trend day, so trail stops (don't take early profits)."
Complete market state communicated in 6 lines. No interpretation needed.
[b>Why This Matters:
Beginner traders struggle with "So what?" question. Indicators show lines and signals, but what does it mean [/b>? Narrative dashboard bridges this gap.
Professional traders benefit too—rapid context assessment during fast-moving markets. No time to analyze; glance at narrative, get action plan.
🔔 INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM
[b>Four Alert Types: [/b>

[b>🎓 PROFESSIONAL USAGE PROTOCOL [/b>
[b>Phase 1: Learning the System (Week 1) [/b>
[b>Goal: [/b> Understand ORB concepts and dashboard interpretation
[b>Setup: [/b>
• Display Mode: STANDARD
• ORB Timeframe: 30 minutes
• Enable ALL features (IB, extensions, failed breakouts, VWAP, gap analysis)
• Enable statistics tracking
[b>Actions: [/b>
• Paper trade ONLY—no real money
• Observe ORB formation every day (9:30-10:00 AM ET for US markets)
• Note when ORB breakouts occur and if they extend
• Note when breakouts fail and reversals happen
• Watch day type classification evolve during session
• Track statistics—which setups are working?
[b>Key Learning: [/b>
• How often do breakouts reach 1.5x extension? (typically 50-60% of confirmed breakouts)
• How often do breakouts fail? (typically 30-40%)
• Which setup grade (A/B/C) actually performs best? (should see A-grade outperforming)
• What day type produces best results? (trend days favor breakouts, rotation days favor fades)
[b>Phase 2: Parameter Optimization (Week 2) [/b>
[b>Goal: [/b> Tune system to your instrument and timeframe
[b>ORB Timeframe Selection:
• Run 5 days with 15-minute ORB
• Run 5 days with 30-minute ORB
• Compare: Which captures better breakouts on your instrument?
• Typically: 30-minute optimal for most, 15-minute for very liquid (ES, SPY)
[b>Volume Confirmation Testing:
• Run 5 days WITH volume confirmation
• Run 5 days WITHOUT volume confirmation
• Compare: Does volume confirmation increase win rate?
• If win rate improves by >5%: Keep volume confirmation ON
• If no improvement: Turn OFF (avoid missing valid breakouts)
[b>Failed Breakout Bars:
[b>Goal: [/b> Develop personal trading rules based on system signals
[b>Setup Selection Rules: [/b>
Define which setups you'll trade:
• [b>Conservative: [/b> Only A+ and A grades
• [b>Balanced: [/b> A+, A, B+ grades
• [b>Aggressive: [/b> All grades B and above
Test each approach for 5-10 trades, compare results.
[b>Position Sizing by Grade: [/b>
Consider risk-weighting by setup quality:
• A+ grade: 100% position size
• A grade: 75% position size
• B+ grade: 50% position size
• B grade: 25% position size
Example: If max risk is $1000/trade:
• A+ setup: Risk $1000
• A setup: Risk $750
• B+ setup: Risk $500
This matches bet sizing to edge.
[b>Day Type Adaptation: [/b>
Create rules for different day types:
Trend Days:
• Take ALL breakout signals (A/B/C grades)
• Hold for 2.0x extension minimum
• Trail stops aggressively (1.0 ATR trail)
• DON'T fade—reversals unlikely
Rotation Days:
• ONLY take failed breakout reversals
• Ignore initial breakout signals (likely to fail)
• Take profits quickly (0.5x extension)
• Focus on fade setups (Fade High/Fade Low)
Normal Days:
• Take A/A+ breakout signals only
• Take ALL failed breakout reversals (high probability)
• Target 1.0-1.5x extensions
• Partial profit-taking at extensions
Time-of-Day Rules: [/b>
Breakouts at different times have different probabilities:
10:00-10:30 AM (Early Breakout):
• ORB just completed
• Fresh breakout
• Probability: Moderate (50-55% reach 1.0x)
• Strategy: Conservative position sizing
10:30-12:00 PM (Mid-Morning):
• Momentum established
• Volume still healthy
• Probability: High (60-65% reach 1.0x)
• Strategy: Standard position sizing
12:00-2:00 PM (Lunch Doldrums):
• Volume dries up
• Whipsaw risk increases
• Probability: Low (40-45% reach 1.0x)
• Strategy: Avoid new entries OR reduce size 50%
2:00-4:00 PM (Afternoon Session):
• Late-day positioning
• EOD squeezes possible
• Probability: Moderate-High (55-60%)
• Strategy: Watch for IB break—if trending all day, follow
[b>Phase 4: Live Micro-Sizing (Month 2) [/b>
[b>Goal: [/b> Validate paper trading results with minimal risk
[b>Setup: [/b>
• 10-20% of intended full position size
• Take ONLY A+ and A grade setups
• Follow stop loss and targets religiously
[b>Execution: [/b>
• Execute from alerts OR from dashboard setup box
• Entry: Close of signal bar OR next bar market order
• Stop: Use exact stop from setup (don't widen)
• Targets: Scale out at T1/T2/T3 as indicated
[b>Tracking: [/b>
• Log every trade: Entry, Exit, Grade, Outcome, Day Type
• Calculate: Win rate, Average R-multiple, Max consecutive losses
• Compare to paper trading results (should be within 15%)
[b>Red Flags: [/b>
• Win rate <45%: System not suitable for this instrument/timeframe
• Major divergence from paper trading: Execution issues (slippage, late entries, emotional exits)
• Max consecutive losses >8: Hitting rough patch OR market regime changed
[b>Phase 5: Scaling Up (Months 3-6)
[b>Goal: [/b> Gradually increase to full position size
[b>Progression: [/b>
• Month 3: 25-40% size (if micro-sizing profitable)
• Month 4: 40-60% size
• Month 5: 60-80% size
• Month 6: 80-100% size
[b>Milestones Required to Scale Up: [/b>
• Minimum 30 trades at current size
• Win rate ≥48%
• Profit factor ≥1.2
• Max drawdown <20%
• Emotional control (no revenge trading, no FOMO)
[b>Advanced Techniques:
[b>Multi-Timeframe ORB: Assumes first 30-60 minutes establish value. Violation: Market opens after major news, price discovery continues for hours (opening range meaningless).
2. [b>Volume Indicates Conviction: ES, NQ, RTY, SPY, QQQ—high liquidity, clean ORB formation, reliable extensions
• [b>Large-Cap Stocks: AAPL, MSFT, TSLA, NVDA (>$5B market cap, >5M daily volume)
• [b>Liquid Futures: CL (crude oil), GC (gold), 6E (EUR/USD), ZB (bonds)—24hr markets benefit from session ORBs
• [b>Major Forex Pairs: [/b> EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY—London/NY session ORBs work well
[b>Performs Poorly On: [/b>
• [b>Illiquid Stocks: <$1M daily volume, wide spreads, gappy price action
• [b>Penny Stocks: [/b> Manipulated, pump-and-dump, no real price discovery
• [b>Low-Volume ETFs: Exotic sector ETFs, leveraged products with thin volume
• [b>Crypto on Sketchy Exchanges: Wash trading, spoofing invalidates volume analysis
• [b>Earnings Days: [/b> ORB completes before earnings release, then completely resets (useless)
• Binary Event Days: FDA approvals, court rulings—discontinuous price action
[b>Known Weaknesses: [/b>
• [b>Slow Starts: ORB doesn't complete until 10:00 AM (30-min ORB). Early morning traders have no signals for 30 minutes. Consider using 15-minute ORB if this is problematic.
• [b>Failure Detection Lag: [/b> Failed breakout requires 3+ bars to confirm. By the time system signals reversal, price may have already moved significantly back inside range. Manual traders watching in real-time can enter earlier.
• [b>Extension Overshoot: [/b> System projects extensions mathematically (1.5x, 2.0x, etc.). Actual moves may stop short (1.3x) or overshoot (2.2x). Extensions are targets, not magnets.
• [b>Day Type Misclassification: [/b> Early in session, day type is "Developing." By the time it's classified definitively (often 11:00 AM+), half the day is over. Strategy adjustments happen late.
• [b>Gap Assumptions: [/b> System assumes gaps want to fill. Strong trend days never fill gaps (gap becomes support/resistance forever). Blindly trading toward gaps can backfire on trend days.
• [b>Volume Data Quality: Forex doesn't have centralized volume (uses tick volume as proxy—less reliable). Crypto volume is often fake (wash trading). Volume confirmation less effective on these instruments.
• [b>Multi-Session Complexity: [/b> When using Asian/London/NY ORBs simultaneously, chart becomes cluttered. Requires discipline to focus on relevant session for current time.
[b>Risk Factors: [/b>
• [b>Opening Gaps: Large gaps (>2%) can create distorted ORBs. Opening range might be unusually wide or narrow, making extensions unreliable.
• [b>Low Volatility Environments:[/b> When VIX <12, opening ranges can be tiny (0.2-0.3%). Extensions are equally tiny. Profit targets don't justify commission/slippage.
• [b>High Volatility Environments:[/b> When VIX >30, opening ranges are huge (2-3%+). Extensions project unrealistic targets. Failed breakouts happen faster (volatility whipsaw).
• [b>Algorithm Dominance:[/b> In heavily algorithmic markets (ES during overnight session), ORB levels can be manipulated—algos pin price to ORB high/low intentionally. Breakouts become stop-runs rather than genuine directional moves.
[b>⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE[/b>
Trading futures, stocks, options, forex, and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Opening Range Breakout strategies, while based on sound market structure principles, do not guarantee profits and can result in significant losses.
The ORB Fusion indicator implements professional trading concepts including Opening Range theory, Market Profile Initial Balance analysis, Fibonacci extensions, and failed breakout reversal logic. These methodologies have theoretical foundations but past performance—whether backtested or live—is not indicative of future results.
Opening Range theory assumes the first 30-60 minutes of trading establish a meaningful value area and that breakouts from this range signal directional conviction. This assumption may not hold during:
• Major news events (FOMC, NFP, earnings surprises)
• Market structure changes (circuit breakers, trading halts)
• Low liquidity periods (holidays, early closures)
• Algorithmic manipulation or spoofing
Failed breakout detection relies on patterns of trapped participant behavior. While historically these patterns have shown statistical edges, market conditions change. Institutional algorithms, changing market structure, or regime shifts can reduce or eliminate edges that existed historically.
Initial Balance classification (trend day vs rotation day vs normal day) is a heuristic framework, not a deterministic prediction. Day type can change mid-session. Early classification may prove incorrect as the day develops.
Extension projections (1.272x, 1.5x, 1.618x, 2.0x, etc.) are probabilistic targets derived from Fibonacci ratios and empirical market behavior. They are not "support and resistance levels" that price must reach or respect. Markets can stop short of extensions, overshoot them, or ignore them entirely.
Volume confirmation assumes high volume indicates institutional participation and conviction. In algorithmic markets, volume can be artificially high (HFT activity) or artificially low (dark pools, internalization). Volume is a proxy, not a guarantee of conviction.
LTF precision sampling improves ORB accuracy by using 1-minute bars but introduces additional data dependencies. If 1-minute data is unavailable, inaccurate, or delayed, ORB calculations will be incorrect.
The grading system (A+/A/B+/B/C/D) and confidence scores aggregate multiple factors (volume, VWAP, day type, IB expansion, gap context) into a single assessment. This is a mechanical calculation, not artificial intelligence. The system cannot adapt to unprecedented market conditions or events outside its programmed logic.
Real trading involves slippage, commissions, latency, partial fills, and rejected orders not present in indicator calculations. ORB Fusion generates signals at bar close; actual fills occur with delay. Opening range forms during highest volatility (first 30 minutes)—spreads widen, slippage increases. Execution quality significantly impacts realized results.
Statistics tracking (win rates, extension levels reached, day type distribution) is based on historical bars in your lookback window. If lookback is small (<50 bars) or market regime changed, statistics may not represent future probabilities.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, and broker execution environment. Paper trade extensively (100+ trades minimum) before risking capital. Start with micro position sizing (5-10% of intended size) for 50+ trades to validate execution quality matches expectations.
Never risk more than you can afford to lose completely. Use proper position sizing (0.5-2% risk per trade maximum). Implement stop losses on every single trade without exception. Understand that most retail traders lose money—sophisticated indicators do not change this fundamental reality. They systematize analysis but cannot eliminate risk.
The developer makes no warranties regarding profitability, suitability, accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any purpose. Users assume full responsibility for all trading decisions, parameter selections, risk management, and outcomes.
By using this indicator, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these risk disclosures and limitations, and you accept full responsibility for all trading activity and potential losses.

[b>CLOSING STATEMENT[/b>
[b>═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════[/b>
Opening Range Breakout is not a trick. It's a framework. The first 30-60 minutes reveal where participants believe value lies. Breakouts signal directional conviction. Failures signal trapped participants. Extensions define profit targets. Day types dictate strategy. Failed breakouts create the highest-probability reversals.
ORB Fusion doesn't predict the future—it identifies [b>structure[/b>, detects [b>breakouts[/b>, recognizes [b>failures[/b>, and generates [b>probabilistic trade plans[/b> with defined risk and reward.
The edge is not in the opening range itself. The edge is in recognizing when the market respects structure (follow breakouts) versus when it violates structure (fade breakouts). The edge is in detecting failures faster than discretionary traders. The edge is in systematic classification that prevents catastrophic errors—like fading a trend day or holding through rotation.
Most indicators draw lines. ORB Fusion implements a complete institutional trading methodology: Opening Range theory, Market Profile classification, failed breakout intelligence, Fibonacci projections, volume confirmation, gap psychology, and real-time performance tracking.
Whether you're a beginner learning market structure or a professional seeking systematic ORB implementation, this system provides the framework.
"The market's first word is its opening range. Everything after is commentary." — ORB Fusion
Elev8+ Impulse LevelsElev8+ Impulse Levels | Smart Support & Resistance
Ever notice price rejecting “empty” areas on the chart—like it remembered something that isn’t obvious?
That “something” is often Institutional Impulse : footprints left behind by large, aggressive moves that get defended again days or weeks later .
Elev8+ Impulse Levels automatically detects these moments and projects the most important prices forward so you can see the structure most traders miss.
— — —
🧠 How It Works (The Logic)
This is not a typical support/resistance tool. It does not hunt swing highs/lows.
It looks for Market Intent —the “Perfect Storm” when two conditions align:
Volume Spike — buying/selling pressure significantly exceeds average volume (multiplier-based).
Volatility Expansion — the candle body is unusually large relative to recent ATR.
When both occur, the script marks the event and treats the impulse close as a key “line in the sand” that can influence future reactions.
— — —
🎯 How to Use These Levels
The script includes a Smart Line behavior that changes level styling based on how price interacts with it—so you can quickly separate two core setups:
1) The Defense (Bounce)
Visual: 🟢 Solid line (Fresh / Untouched)
What it means: Price has not yet traded through or “invalidated” the level.
What to look for: First return to the level → rejection / bounce behavior.
Why it matters: Large players often defend prior entries; first tests can react sharply.
2) The Flip (Break & Retest)
Visual: ◌ Dotted line (Broken / Re-priced)
What it means: A candle has closed through the level.
What to look for: Price returns to the dotted level from the other side (“kiss”) → continuation.
Why it matters: Broken support can act as resistance (and vice versa), similar to a breaker concept.
— — —
✨ Key Features
Smart Visualization — levels automatically transition from solid → dotted when broken to reduce chart noise.
Impulse Candle Highlighting — see the exact candle that created the level (origin clarity).
Fully Customizable Sensitivity — tune volume + size thresholds for Crypto, Forex, Futures, or Stocks.

🚀 The Elev8+ Workflow
Think of Impulse Levels as your map : it shows where reactions are most likely.
For entry timing, pair it with Elev8+ Pro Reversal to confirm the moment price reacts at these high-value zones.

Buying Opportunity Score V2.1Overview
A composite scoring system (0-100) that identifies high-probability buying opportunities during market pullbacks. Validated through backtesting on SPY from 2010-2024.
How It Works
The indicator combines multiple fear and oversold signals into a single actionable score. When fear is elevated and the market is oversold, the score rises. Higher scores historically correlate with better forward returns.
Scoring Components
VIX Level (30 pts) - Market fear gauge
Drawdown (30 pts) - Distance from 52-week high
RSI 14 (12 pts) - Oversold confirmation
Bollinger Band (13 pts) - Statistical extreme
VIX Timing (15 pts) - Bonus when VIX declining from peak
Signal Levels
80+ = STRONG BUY (high conviction)
70-79 = BUY (consider entry)
60-69 = WATCH (monitor closely)
Below 60 = No signal
Backtest Results (SPY, 2010-2024)
70+ Signals: 85% win rate, 7.5% average 20-day return
80+ Signals: 100% win rate, 14% average 20-day return
Features
Statistics table showing 1Y, 3Y, 5Y rolling performance
Signal markers (green triangles) on buy signals
Outcome labels showing WIN/LOSS after measurement period
Multiple alert options
Works on SPY, QQQ, IWM (use VIX for all)
How To Use
Add to SPY, QQQ, or IWM (daily timeframe)
Wait for score to reach 70+ or 80+
Green triangle marks signal day
Check statistics table for recent performance
Set alerts for notifications
Alerts Available
STRONG BUY Signal (80+)
BUY Signal (70+)
Moderate Signal (60+)
Score Crossed 80/70
Score Dropped Below 70
Important Notes
Designed for daily timeframe on broad market ETFs
Signals confirm at end of day (bar close)
Statistics table shows rolling windows based on loaded data
Past performance does not guarantee future results
Scalping Signals with MTF Fibo BandsThis indicator is a scalping / intraday signal system built on Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Fibonacci Bands, combined with an RSI midline filter and an optional direction-lock mechanism to reduce consecutive losing entries.
🔹 What does this indicator do?
It plots two independent Fibonacci Band sets (A & B), each calculated from a higher timeframe SMA + ATR.
Entry zones are defined between Band 2 and Band 3, representing statistically extreme price areas.
You can choose to generate signals from:
Band A only
Band B only
BOTH (A + B confirmation)
📈 Entry Logic
LONG
Price closes inside the Lower Zone (between Fib2 Lower & Fib3 Lower)
RSI is above the midline (default 50)
SHORT
Price closes inside the Upper Zone (between Fib2 Upper & Fib3 Upper)
RSI is below the midline (default 50)
🟧 Direction Lock System
If enabled, the indicator locks the trade direction when a position hits Stop Loss before reaching TP1.
This prevents repeated entries in the same direction during unfavorable conditions.
🔓 Unlock Logic
The lock can be removed when:
RSI crosses back over the midline (RSI > 50 for LONG, RSI < 50 for SHORT)
AND price closes again inside the valid Band 2–3 zone
With the optional setting enabled, a new entry can occur on the same candle
🛑 Stop Loss Logic (Important)
This indicator uses price-action-based stop logic, not fixed pip stops.
1️⃣ Before TP1
LONG: Two consecutive candle closes below Fib3 Lower
SHORT: Two consecutive candle closes above Fib3 Upper
⚠️ Because SL depends on candle closes, you must monitor lower timeframes (1m or below) to react quickly and avoid delayed exits.
2️⃣ After TP1 (Break-Even Protection)
Once TP1 is touched:
SL automatically shifts to Break-Even (entry price)
Any return to entry will close the position
⚠️ Usage Warning
This indicator is NOT designed for sharp, explosive, or news-driven moves
Avoid using it during:
High-impact news
Extremely fast impulsive candles
Sudden volatility spikes
Best performance is achieved in structured price action environments, not chaotic market conditions.

TTM Squeeze Candles (Custom Colors) with Dynamic Strength BarHere is my tribute, tip of the cap to one of the greatest traders of our generation John F. Carter
It was my goal to try and simply visualize the squeeze with candle sticks, dynamic momentum, and signals all on one chart in one indicator. Please study and master the squeeze setup before trying to apply this indicator . You must have a deep understanding of how to trade the squeeze. Read "Mastering The Trade " watch JC's videos etc, and practice with a simulated or paper account before ever trying out new strategies with real money. Not financial advice, I am not a financial advisor! DYOR- with that said - I hope you like it :)
TTM squeeze candles **custom TradingView Pine Script (v6)** indicator that visualizes the **TTM Squeeze** strategy — a popular volatility-based momentum system originally developed by John Carter of TradeTheMarkets (TTM). This version enhances the classic TTM Squeeze with **custom candle coloring**, **dynamic momentum strength**, **visual alerts**, and a **real-time strength meter**.
---
## OVERVIEW: What is the TTM Squeeze?
The **TTM Squeeze** identifies periods when **volatility is contracting** (price is consolidating), followed by a **potential explosive breakout** when volatility expands.
It combines:
1. **Bollinger Bands (BB)** – measure statistical volatility
2. **Keltner Channels (KC)** – measure average true range (ATR) volatility
3. **Momentum Oscillator** – determines direction and strength of potential breakout
> **Squeeze ON** = BB inside KC → Low volatility (consolidation)
> **Squeeze OFF** = BB outside KC → Volatility expanding (breakout possible)
## BEST USED ON
- **Timeframes**: 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily
- **Markets**: Stocks, Forex, Crypto, Futures
- **Pairs well with**: Volume, VWAP, Support/Resistance
---
## SUMMARY
> **This is a highly visual, trader-friendly squeeze candle indicator that:
> - **Colors candles** based on squeeze state and momentum strength
> - **Shows real-time momentum intensity** via histogram + strength bar
> - **Alerts on squeeze start/release**
> - **Normalizes momentum** for fair strength comparison
> - **Provides clean, actionable signals** for breakout trading
---
**Ideal for swing traders and day traders** looking to catch **high-momentum breakouts from low-volatility consolidations** with **clear entry signals and conviction levels**.
ORB Pro - NY Opening Range Breakout by Elev8+ORB Pro - NY Opening Range Breakout | Smart Support & Resistance
ORB Pro is a comprehensive, professional-grade toolkit designed for intraday traders who rely on the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy.
Unlike standard ORB indicators that simply draw lines, this suite offers a complete dashboard-driven system that monitors four distinct sessions simultaneously, providing real-time status updates and precision alerts.
— — —
🎯 What is the Opening Range Breakout (ORB)?
The Opening Range is the price range established during the first period of the trading session (e.g., the first 15 or 30 minutes). This period represents the initial balance between buyers and sellers. A breakout from this range often signals the likely trend direction for the remainder of the session.
— — —
🚀 Key Features
1. Multi-ORB Monitoring
Stop switching settings constantly. This suite monitors four key ranges at once:
Pre-Market 15m (08:00 – 08:15 ET)
Pre-Market 30m (08:00 – 08:30 ET)
NY Cash Open 15m (09:30 – 09:45 ET)
NY Cash Open 30m (09:30 – 10:00 ET)
2. Smart Status Dashboard
A compact panel in the bottom-right corner gives you the live state of every session:
⏳ Waiting: The session has not started yet.
⚡ Forming: The range is currently being built.
↔️ Range: The range has formed, but price is still contained within the range.
🚀 BULL / 📉 BEAR: A confirmed breakout has occurred.
⛔ OFF: The session is disabled in settings.
3. "Dynamic Resolution" Technology
This is a unique pro feature.
Precision: The script always calculates the High/Low levels using 1-minute data , ensuring your support/resistance lines are pixel-perfect regardless of your chart timeframe.
Flexibility: Breakout signals (Alerts/Labels) are triggered based on your current chart timeframe. This allows you to trade a 5m or 15m breakout strategy while keeping 1m-level precision on your levels.
4. Visual Clarity
Breakout Labels: Automatically plots "BULL" or "BEAR" labels on the exact candle that confirms a breakout.
Profit Targets: Optional toggle to show 1x and 2x profit targets projected from the breakout level.
Time-Bound Signals: Signals are strictly time-bound to the active window to prevent late, low-quality alerts.
— — —
🛠️ How to Use
Add to Chart: Works best on intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure: Enable the sessions you trade (e.g., NY 15m) in the settings.
Wait for Forming: Watch the box form live. The dashboard will show "⚡ Forming".
Trade the Break: Wait for a candle Close outside the range. The dashboard will flip to "BULL" or "BEAR" and a label will appear.
Manage Risk: Use the opposite side of the range or the midline as your stop loss.
— — —
⚙️ Settings Overview
Global Settings: Toggle forming boxes, dashboard, and label visibility.
Breakout Method: Choose between Close (safer) or Wick (aggressive) for signal triggers.
Session Groups: Individually enable/disable the 4 distinct sessions and customize their colors/styles.

FVG Heatmap [Hash Capital Research]FVG Map
FVG Map is a visual Fair Value Gap (FVG) mapping tool built to make displacement imbalances easy to see and manage in real time. It detects 3-candle FVG zones, plots them as clean heatmap boxes, tracks partial mitigation (how much of the zone has been filled), and summarizes recent “fill speed” behavior in a small regime dashboard.
This is an indicator (not a strategy). It does not place trades and it does not publish performance claims. It is a market-structure visualization tool intended to support discretionary or systematic workflows.
What this script detects
Bullish FVG (gap below price)
A bullish FVG is detected when the candle from two bars ago has a high below the current candle’s low.
The zone spans from that prior high up to the current low.
Bearish FVG (gap above price)
A bearish FVG is detected when the candle from two bars ago has a low above the current candle’s high.
The zone spans from the current high up to that prior low.
What makes it useful
Heatmap zones (clean, readable FVG boxes)
Bullish zones plot below price. Bearish zones plot above price.
Partial fill tracking (mitigation progress)
As price trades back into a zone, the script visually shows how much of the zone has been filled.
Mitigation modes (your definition of “filled”)
• Full Fill: price fully trades through the zone
• 50% Fill: price reaches the midpoint of the zone
• First Touch: price touches the zone one time
Optional auto-cleanup
Optionally remove zones once they’re mitigated to keep the chart clean.
Fill-Speed Regime Dashboard
When zones get mitigated, the script records how many bars it took to fill and summarizes the recent environment:
• Average fill time
• Median fill time
• % fast fills vs % slow fills
• Regime label: choppy/mean-revert, trending/displacement, or mixed
How to use
Use FVG zones as structure, not guaranteed signals.
• Bullish zones are often watched as potential support on pullbacks.
• Bearish zones are often watched as potential resistance on rallies.
The fill-speed dashboard helps provide context: fast fills tend to appear in more rotational conditions, while slow fills tend to appear in stronger trend/displacement conditions.
Alerts
Bullish FVG Created
Bearish FVG Created
Notes
FVGs are not guaranteed reversal points. Fill-speed/regime is descriptive of recent behavior and should be treated as context, not prediction. On realtime candles, visuals may update as the bar forms.
USD Liquidity Regime for BTC Perps (Dual) V1USD Liquidity Regime for BTC Perps (Dual)
This intents to be a BTC Perps USD Liquidity Regime macro indicator.
As it names states it is designed for BTCUSDT perpetual futures traders.
It attempts to tracks USD strength (DXY, UUP, yields, VIX composite) as liquidity proxy:
Lower index = weak USD = Risk-On (green background/histogram = long tailwind for BTC).
Higher = strong USD = Risk-Off (red = caution longs, shorts favor).
How to use:
Green background/histogram: Favor longs — rallies likely, dips bought.
Red: Caution longs — corrections hurt, short bias possible.
Blue line (index) vs red SMA: Crosses signal regime shifts.
Histogram strength: Bigger bars = stronger bias.
This is not intended as financial advise or trigger signal tool.
This is a work in progress
Its value is limited, if you do not understand any or some of the words above please do not use this indicator. If you did, then you understand you are not supposed to use this alone to make decisions.
Feel free to ask any questions, this is a work in progress.
Feel free to suggest improvements.
Educational macro context tool — not signals/advice.
Ok for avoiding going against the USD trend dominance by following liquidity.

QUANT TRADING ENGINE [PointAlgo]Quant Trading Engine is a quantitative market-analysis indicator that combines multiple statistical factors to study trend behavior, mean reversion, volatility, execution efficiency, and market stability.
The indicator converts raw price behavior into standardized signals to help evaluate directional bias and risk conditions in a systematic way.
This script focuses on factor alignment and regime awareness, not prediction certainty.
Design Philosophy
Markets move through different regimes such as trending, ranging, volatile expansion, and instability.
This indicator attempts to model these regimes by blending:
Momentum strength
Mean-reversion pressure
Volatility risk
Trend filtering
Execution context (VWAP)
Correlation structure
Each component is normalized and combined into a single Quant Alpha framework.
Factor Construction
1. Momentum Factor
Measures directional strength using percentage price change over a rolling window.
Standardized using mean and standard deviation.
Represents trend continuation pressure.
2. Mean Reversion Factor
Measures deviation from a longer moving average.
Standardized to identify stretched conditions.
Designed to capture counter-trend behavior.
Directional Clamping
Mean-reversion signals are dynamically restricted:
No counter-trend buying during downtrends.
No counter-trend selling during uptrends.
Allows both sides only in neutral regimes.
This prevents conflicting signals in strong trends.
3. Volatility Factor
Uses realized volatility derived from price changes.
Penalizes environments where volatility deviates significantly from its norm.
Acts as a risk adjustment rather than a directional driver.
4. Composite Quant Alpha
The final Quant Alpha is a weighted blend of:
Momentum
Mean reversion (trend-clamped)
Volatility risk
The composite is standardized into a Z-score, allowing consistent interpretation across instruments and timeframes.
Signal Logic
Buy signal occurs when Quant Alpha crosses above zero.
Sell signal occurs when Quant Alpha crosses below zero.
Zero-cross logic is used to represent shifts from negative to positive statistical bias and vice versa.
Signals reflect statistical regime change, not trade instructions.
Volatility Smile Context
Measures price deviation from its statistical distribution.
Identifies skewed conditions where upside or downside volatility becomes dominant.
Highlights extreme deviations that may imply elevated derivative risk.
Exotic Risk Conditions
Detects sudden price expansion combined with volatility spikes.
Highlights environments where execution and risk become unstable.
Visual background cues are used for awareness only.
Execution Context (VWAP)
Measures price distance from VWAP.
Used to assess execution efficiency rather than direction.
Helps identify stretched conditions relative to average traded price.
Correlation Structure
Evaluates short-term return correlations.
Detects when price behavior becomes less predictable.
Flags structural instability rather than trend direction.
Visualization
The indicator plots:
Quant Alpha (scaled) with directional coloring
Volatility smile deviation
Price vs VWAP distance
Correlation structure
Signal markers indicate Quant Alpha zero-cross events and risk conditions.
Dashboard
A compact dashboard summarizes:
Trend filter state
Quant Alpha polarity and value
Individual factor readings
Current action state (Buy / Sell / Wait / Risk)
The dashboard provides a real-time snapshot of internal model conditions.
Usage Notes
Designed for analytical interpretation and research.
Best used alongside price action and risk management tools.
Factor behavior depends on instrument liquidity and volatility.
Not optimized for illiquid or irregular markets.
Disclaimer
This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only.
It does not provide financial, investment, or trading advice.
All outputs should be independently validated before making any trading decisions.
ORB Pressure (Futures) Your TradingView script is an ORB “pressure + confirmation” indicator built for futures that anchors the Opening Range to the NY cash open and then manages the day in three phases. First, it constructs the Opening Range high/low starting at 09:30 NY for a user-selectable duration (3/5/15/30/60 minutes) and draws those levels forward on the chart. Second, once the range is set, it computes a real-time break likelihood score (0–100) plus a directional lean (UP/DOWN/NEUTRAL) using a blend of factors traders care about: proximity to the OR edges, ATR-based compression, repeated “touches” near ORH/ORL, EMA stacking and VWAP positioning/slope, and relative volume vs a baseline. Third, it enforces a clean signal structure: it triggers a one-shot event only when a candle closes outside ORH/ORL, logs the break details (direction, price, ticks beyond the range, and time), and prevents repeat firing; however, if price closes back inside the range within a configurable number of candles, the script treats it as a failed break and resets so it can re-arm. A compact dashboard displays the live state (building/set/armed), score, lean, and it preserves the break statistics after a trigger so you can review the day’s breakout behavior at a glance.

The Sell/Buy Pressure Ratio quantifies the aggressiveness of sellers versus buyers by comparing conviction-weighted volume on down candles versus up candles. It answers a simple question: who is more committed right now—buyers or sellers?
How It Works
The indicator examines each candle and determines directional conviction based on where price closes within the bar's range. A candle that closes near its high shows strong buyer conviction. A candle that closes near its low shows strong seller conviction. This conviction percentage is then multiplied by volume to create a weighted measure of buying and selling pressure.
The ratio divides total selling pressure by total buying pressure over a lookback period. A ratio of 1.5 means sellers are 50% more aggressive than buyers. A ratio of 0.5 means buyers are twice as aggressive as sellers.
Key Features
Conviction weighting: Not all volume is equal. A strong close near the high counts more than a weak close mid-range.
Doji handling: Indecisive candles (where open and close are nearly equal) split volume 50/50 between buyers and sellers.
Volume filtering: Low-volume bars below 60% of average are excluded to focus on meaningful activity.
Normalized output: Optional -1 to +1 scale for cross-stock comparison.
Interpretation
RatioMeaning≤ 0.5Strong buyers — accumulation, continuation setups0.5 – 0.8Buyers favored — healthy environment for longs0.8 – 1.2Balanced — equilibrium, wait for direction1.2 – 1.5Sellers favored — caution warranted≥ 1.5Strong sellers — distribution, avoid new longs
Primary Use
Timing entries within confirmed trends. The ratio identifies when selling pressure has exhausted itself, signaling safer entry points. Rather than buying strength, traders wait for the ratio to transition from elevated levels back toward equilibrium—buying when selling stops being dangerous.
What It Does Not Do
This indicator does not predict direction. It measures current pressure dynamics. Pair it with trend analysis (moving averages, price structure) to determine direction, then use the pressure ratio to time entries and exits.

Jin#10 HMA/OBV Pro Trader System (15m)HMA/OBV Pro Trader System Overview (15m Timeframe)
This system is designed to identify high-probability entry and exit points on the 15-minute chart by integrating multiple indicators for confirmation.
1. Trend and Confirmation
HMA Lines (Solid Lines): These are two Hull Moving Averages (HMA 8 and HMA 15).
Green/Red HMA 8 (Line 1): The faster HMA, showing short-term momentum.
Blue/Red HMA 15 (Line 3): The slower HMA, indicating the medium-term trend direction.
Trend Alignment: A strong trend requires the fast HMA (8) to be above the slow HMA (15) and both to be sloping favorably.
MTF Background Color (Candle Background): This represents the 30-minute trend filter.
Light Green/Teal: The 30-minute trend is upward and strong.
Light Orange/Red: The 30-minute trend is downward and strong.
This acts as a major confirmation filter for entries.
2. Trading Signals (Shapes)
🚀 BUY / 🔻 SELL: These are the Final Confirmation Signals. They appear when all conditions (HMA alignment, Stochastic, MACD, and the 30m MTF filter) are met.
⚠️ Pre-BUY / Pre-SELL: These are Warning/Early Signals indicating that most conditions on the 15m chart are aligned, but the 30m filter has not yet confirmed the trend direction.
🔥 Volatility Spike / 🧊 Volatility Crash (Small Circle): Alerts the user to an unusually large candle (ATR spike), signaling extreme volatility or a potential reversal.
3. Exit and Risk Management
ATR Trailing Stop (Dashed Line): This dynamic line serves as a Soft Exit or Stop-Loss Guide.
❌ Exit Long / Exit Short (X-Cross): This shape appears when the price crosses the ATR Trailing Stop, suggesting the existing position (Long or Short) should be closed immediately.
Dashed TP/SL Lines (Green/Red): These lines mark a calculated Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) based on the entry price and the defined Risk-Reward Ratio (e.g., 1:1.5).
Microstructure Participation & Acceptance Indicator📊 Microstructure Participation & Acceptance Indicator
An advanced participation-based filter combining VWAP distance analysis, volume delta detection, and real-time acceptance/rejection state identification—designed for smaller timeframe trading.
📊 FEATURES
VWAP Distance Normalization
Context-aware fair value measurement:
Automatically resets based on selected anchor (Session/Week/Month)
ATR-normalized distance calculation for universal application
Identifies when price is extended or compressed relative to equilibrium
Configurable extreme distance threshold (default: 1.5 ATR)
Adjustable source input (default: HLC3)
Volume Delta Proxy
Bull vs Bear participation tracking:
Calculates volume imbalance between bullish and bearish candles
EMA smoothing for cleaner signal generation (default: 9 periods)
Delta ratio measurement to identify dominant side
Expansion/compression detection to gauge momentum commitment
Configurable expansion threshold (default: 1.3x)
Acceptance/Rejection State Machine
Real-time market regime identification with six distinct states:
🟢 Accepted Long
Price moving away from VWAP with expanding bullish delta
Distance from VWAP increasing
Volume confirming the move
Indicates real buying pressure—trade WITH the move
🟢 Accepted Short
Price moving away from VWAP with expanding bearish delta
Distance from VWAP increasing
Volume confirming the move
Indicates real selling pressure—trade WITH the move
🟠 Fade Long
Price extended beyond threshold (>1.5 ATR above VWAP)
Delta not supporting the extension
Volume participation absent or diminishing
Potential mean-reversion short setup
🟠 Fade Short
Price extended beyond threshold (>1.5 ATR below VWAP)
Delta not supporting the extension
Volume participation absent or diminishing
Potential mean-reversion long setup
⚪ Chop
Price compressed near VWAP
Bollinger Bands tight (width compressed)
Delta neutral—no clear commitment
NO TRADE ZONE—wait for expansion
⚪ Neutral
Transitional state between regimes
Momentum shifting but not yet confirmed
Monitor for next acceptance signal
Bollinger Bands
Standard volatility measurement with TradingView default styling:

Delta ratio (bull/bear volume balance)
Delta state (Expanding/Compressing)
High-contrast design for instant readability
🎯 HOW TO USE
For Trend Trading:
Accepted Long/Short backgrounds indicate confirmed participation—stay with the trend
Strong moves typically travel 1-1.5 ATR from VWAP with delta support
Use VWAP as dynamic support/resistance
Combine with momentum indicators (MACD, RSI) for confluence
Price above VWAP + Accepted Long state = bullish bias
Price below VWAP + Accepted Short state = bearish bias
For Mean Reversion:
Fade Long/Short states signal overextension without participation
Price beyond 1.5 ATR from VWAP with weak delta = potential reversal
Look for price return to VWAP when extended
Bollinger Band extremes + Fade state = high-probability mean reversion setup
VWAP acts as mean reversion anchor during range-bound sessions
For Risk Management:
Chop state = avoid new entries
Bollinger Band compression + Chop = pre-expansion zone (wait for breakout)
Delta compression after strong move = early exhaustion warning
State transitions (Accepted → Neutral → Fade) = tighten stops
Signal Confirmation:
Strongest setups occur when multiple factors align:
BB breakout + Accepted state + price above/below VWAP
Price rejection at BB bands + Fade state
VWAP support/resistance hold + state transition
Delta expansion + distance increasing + trend direction
⚙️ SETTINGS
All components are fully customizable through organized input groups:

DMI Direction TableCompact table for Directional Movement Index (DMI) built to stay readable and configurable.
What it shows
DI+ and DI– from a fixed timeframe via request.security (default 4H), independent of the chart timeframe.
Trend text: Bullish/Bearish/Sideways with strength bucket (Mild/Normal/Strong/Very Strong) derived from the absolute gap |DI+ − DI–|, not ADX.
Values printed with two decimals, no percent sign.
Key controls
Fixed Timeframe (for DMI): choose any resolution; the label auto-displays as 1m/5m/1H/4H/1D/1W/1M.
Gap thresholds: Sideways, Mild, Normal, Strong, Very Strong.
Table Position: top/middle/bottom × left/center/right.
Font Size: tiny/small/normal/large/huge.
Styling
Full manual palette for headers and value cells.
Separate background and text colors for Bullish, Bearish, and Sideways trend states.
Independent colors for DI+ and DI– cells.
Deliberate omissions
No RSI.
No ADX; strength comes solely from the DI gap.
Purpose
Quick, at-a-glance DMI state that remains consistent across timeframes while letting you tune thresholds and visuals to your chart.
rj's temu perp pair tradeOverview
rj’s temu perp pair trade is a simple, robust pairs-trading strategy designed for crypto perpetual futures, implemented directly on ratio charts (A / B) in TradingView.
The strategy trades mean reversion in relative price using Bollinger Bands, while keeping sizing, execution logic, and diagnostics intentionally simple and transparent.
This script is designed primarily for signal research and pair selection, not for fully accurate two-leg PnL simulation inside TradingView.
Strategy Concept
The strategy operates on a ratio chart:
Asset A / Asset B
The ratio represents relative performance between two assets.
Core idea
When the ratio deviates significantly from its recent mean, it tends to revert. (if you pick stuff that has very similar drivers and little insider trading flows.
Bollinger Bands provide a simple, robust way to define “too far”.
Entry Logic
Using Bollinger Bands on the ratio price:
Long ratio
Ratio crosses below the lower band
Interpreted as A cheap vs B
Short ratio
Ratio crosses above the upper band
Interpreted as A expensive vs B
Entries are generated on bar close, with fills occurring on the next bar open (TradingView’s internal behavior).
Exit Logic
Positions are closed when any of the following occurs:
Ratio crosses back through the Bollinger midline
Position held longer than maxBarsInTrade (optional)
Fixed % stop based on ratio price (optional)
Each exit is explicitly labeled on the chart:
C → mean reversion
TS → time stop
SL → stop loss
Position sizing and margin
Positions are sized as a percentage of Strategy Tester equity
Default: 10% of equity per trade
This ensures consistent risk within TradingView, even on ratio charts
Mating requirements are set to 1% for long/short to disable margin rejections for research purposes.
What TradingView PnL means (important)
When trading ratio charts, TradingView treats the ratio as a single synthetic instrument.
PnL is reported in the denominator (quote) unit e.g. on UNI / SUSHI, PnL is in SUSHI
Strategy Tester does not simulate two legs
Absolute PnL, Sharpe, and drawdowns are not USDT-accurate
This script intentionally does not attempt to convert PnL into USDT inside TradingView.
Instead:
TradingView is used for signal behavior, regime analysis, and pair comparison
Accurate two-leg USDT PnL should be computed externally
Summary Table
The on-chart summary table reports Strategy Tester-aligned metrics only:
Total PnL (%)
Number of closed trades
Win rate
Average PnL per trade
Sharpe ratio (annualized, based on Strategy Tester equity)
PnL units (syminfo.currency)
These metrics are internally consistent but should be treated as indicative, not execution-accurate.
Recommended workflow
Inside TradingView
Use this script to:
Explore pair behavior
Validate mean-reversion dynamics
Study regime dependence
Compare relative signal quality across pairs
Outside TradingView
Use exported trade data to:
Aggregate daily PnL
Normalize by initial capital
Apply portfolio weights
Vol-target and analyze drawdowns
Add funding, fees, and execution logic
Limitations
This script does not:
Simulate two-leg execution
Account for funding rates
Model fees or slippage per leg
Provide USDT-accurate PnL
It is not a trading system. It is a clean, robust research and signal-generation tool.
SVE Compression Mirror (Companion)Why This Tool Exists
Intraday markets are driven not only by direction, but by volatility state and energy dynamics. Periods of compression, expansion, and transition often determine whether price behavior favors patience, rotation, or acceleration.
The SVE Compression Mirror (Companion) was created to make volatility compression and release conditions visible in real time, helping traders understand what type of market environment is currently present before forming directional conviction.
This indicator displays a two-state compression condition consistent with that referenced by the SVE Volatility Engine, exposed here as a standalone lower-pane context display.
________________________________________
How the Indicator Is Intended to Be Used
This indicator is designed strictly as a context layer, independent of trade direction or bias.
It highlights:
• Volatility compression versus expansion
• Transitions between compressed and released states
• Momentum behavior as energy builds or dissipates
The purpose is to support environment awareness, not to predict outcomes or generate signals.
________________________________________
What Appears on the Chart
When applied, the indicator displays:
• A lower-pane histogram representing momentum behavior
• Visual markers indicating whether volatility is compressed or released
• A clean, uncluttered presentation optimized for intraday use
The display is intentionally minimal and designed to pair with other structural or decision-support tools.
________________________________________
Intended Users
This indicator is designed for:
• Intraday traders seeking clearer volatility context
• Discretionary traders who value regime awareness
• Professionals and advanced retail traders who prioritize environment over prediction

ADX Coloreado por AO + DI DifferenceKey ComponentsADX line: Measures overall trend strength (non-directional).
+DI line: Strength of upward movement.
-DI line: Strength of downward movement.
Trend direction is determined by which DI line is dominant:+DI > -DI: Bullish trend (upward pressure).
-DI > +DI: Bearish trend (downward pressure).
Crossovers between +DI and -DI can signal potential trend changes, but they are most reliable when ADX confirms sufficient strength.ADX Trend Strength Levels (Common Interpretations)ADX Value
Trend Strength
Recommendation
0–20
Weak or no trend (ranging/sideways market)
Avoid trend-following strategies; consider range-bound or oscillator-based trades.
20–25
Emerging or moderate trend (gray zone)
Monitor for confirmation; potential start of trend.
25–50
Strong trend
Ideal for trend-following strategies (e.g., moving averages, breakouts).
50–75
Very strong trend
High momentum; good for riding trends, but watch for exhaustion.
75–100
Extremely strong trend (rare)
Often overextended; risk of reversal or correction.
Rising ADX: Trend is strengthening.
Falling ADX: Trend is weakening (even if still high).
