Session Anchored OIWAP [Arjo]The Session Anchored OIWAP (Open Interest Weighted Average Price) indicator shows you a weighted average price that uses Open Interest (OI) changes during different trading sessions . It divides the day into four clear sessions: Opening Hour , Morning Session , Mid-Day Session , and Closing Session . For each session , it calculates a weighted average price using both market price and open interest data from futures . This line updates as the session progresses and resets when a new session starts . You can also see optional deviation bands that you visually compare to how far the market price is moving away from the session’s weighted average. This indicator also helps you watch how Open Interest changes connect with price movements during specific market hours. Concepts This tool works on a few simple ideas: Session anchoring Each session starts fresh. The indicator resets and begins a new calculation when a new time block begins. This allows users to visually study each session independently. Open-interest weighting Instead of treating all price moves equally, price changes linked to higher open-interest activity have more influence on the OIWAP. This gives a weighted reflection of where the market has been trading during the session. Averaging and smoothing The OIWAP line blends many price data points into one smooth curve, making it easier to follow than raw price movement. Volatility display with bands The upper and lower bands are placed at ±0.5 standard deviation from the OIWAP line. These bands simply help you see when price stretches further away than usual from the session average. Features Four Independent Session Calculations: Shows separate OIWAP lines for Opening Hour (default: 09:15-10:15), Morning (10:15-11:30), Mid-Day (11:30-14:00), and Closing (14:00-15:30) sessions Open Interest Weighting: Uses absolute OI change as the weight instead of traditional volume Customizable Session Times: You can change the time ranges for each session to match your market or what you need Optional Deviation Bands: You can turn ±0.5 standard deviation bands on or off around each OIWAP line Color-Coded Sessions: Each session has its own color so you can tell them apart easily Selective Display: You can turn individual sessions and bands on or off Data Availability Check: Shows you a notification when Open Interest data isn't available for your symbol Adjustable Position Timeframe: You can calculate OI changes on different timeframes (Chart, Daily, 15min, 30min, 60min, 120min) How to use Add this indicator to a chart of any symbol that has Open Interest data ( from futures or derivatives contracts). Once you add it, you'll see colored lines showing the OIWAP for each session you enable, along with optional deviation bands. Adjusting Settings: Turn individual sessions on or off using the checkboxes in the " Sessions " section Change session colors to match your chart or what looks good to you Turn deviation bands on or off using the " Show Bands " option in the Display settings Change session time ranges in the " Session Times " section to match your market hours or what you want to analyze Change the Position Timeframe if you want to see OI changes calculated on a different time period Visual Interpretation: Each OIWAP line shows you the OI-weighted average price for that session The deviation bands show you how much prices spread out, weighted by OI changes You can watch how price interacts with these levels to see where significant OI activity happened Different sessions may show different OIWAP levels, showing you how the OI-price relationship changes throughout the trading day Note: This indicator needs Open Interest data to work. If OI data isn't available for your symbol, you'll see a message in the center of your chart. This indicator works only with derivatives markets like futures and options in the Indian Market where OI data is publicly available. Conclusion The Session Anchored OIWAP indicator is designed to support structured market observation by combining price, open interest, and session anchoring into a clear visual format. It helps users study market behavior during different parts of the day without generating trading instructions or outcomes.

MADZ - Moving Average Deviation Z-ScoreMADZ - Moving Average Deviation Z-Score MADZ is a powerful valuation oscillator that measures how far the current price has deviated from a user-selected moving average, expressed in statistical terms as a Z-Score. This normalization makes it easier to identify overvalued and undervalued conditions across different assets, timeframes, and market environments. Overview The indicator works by: Calculating the percentage deviation of price from a customizable moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA, or RMA). Applying a Z-Score transformation to this deviation over a chosen lookback period — showing how many standard deviations the current deviation is from its historical average. Smoothing the result for a clean, responsive oscillator centered around zero. Positive values indicate price is trading above the moving average (potentially overvalued), while negative values suggest price is below (potentially undervalued). The further from zero, the greater the relative valuation extreme. Key Features Customizable base moving average (type and length) Z-Score normalization for statistically meaningful readings Final smoothing for reduced noise Static overbought/oversold levels (default ±1.5) — line changes color when crossed (red above, green below) Dynamic extreme bands (±3σ) — optional display of bands calculated from the oscillator’s own volatility over a user-defined period Extreme zone highlighting — background shading activates only during truly rare valuation events Extreme Zone Highlighting Explained The highlighted extreme zones (background shading) are not based on the fixed static levels. Instead, they signal statistically significant outliers using dynamic bands: Overbought extreme zone (red background): Triggered when MADZ rises above the upper dynamic band (+3 standard deviations of the MADZ line itself over the dynamic length period). Oversold extreme zone (green background): Triggered when MADZ falls below the lower dynamic band (-3 standard deviations). These ±3σ bands adapt to the recent behavior of the oscillator. Because they represent three standard deviations from the mean of MADZ, crossings are rare and often precede major reversals or trend accelerations — making them valuable for spotting potential turning points in valuation extremes. How to Use Use zero-line crosses for trend changes or mean-reversion setups. Watch static level crossings (±1.5 default) for early overbought/oversold warnings. Pay special attention to extreme zone shading — these highlight high-conviction valuation dislocations that may offer superior risk/reward opportunities. Designed on the BTC chart, but can be used on other assets. Settings Moving Average Settings: Type, length, source Z-Score & Smoothing: Lookback period and smoothing length Threshold Levels: Static overbought/oversold thresholds Display Options: Toggle dynamic bands and extreme background highlighting This is an educational tool designed to aid in valuation analysis.

Price Action TrendPrice Action Trend measures trend *strength* by modelling where price sits inside a smoothed price-action channel, then applying RSI to that “channel position”. It doesn’t predict, but shows what price is doing now. This indicator uses the same calculations as my old "Price Action Trend Overlay" script, which I'd published Protected for some forgotten reason. Some users have asked for the source code, so I'm republishing it as open source. I've also tidied up the code a bit, added some visualisations of elements that were present but never drawn, such as the PA channels themselves, drawn the trend metric in a separate pane, added alerts, and made some more configuration options available. 🟩 HIGHLIGHTS ⭐ Trend colouring on the main chart. ⭐ A trend line drawn in its own pane. ⭐ Overbought/oversold markers on the main chart, derived from the same PA calculations. ⭐ Optional “Price Average” line and channel colouring. 🟩 WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THE TREND CALCULATION Most “trend RSI” tools run RSI on close, or on some moving average of price. This script runs RSI on a *normalised* price-action series: - We build a smoothed channel from RMA(high) and RMA(low). - We normalise price against that channel (relative to the channel midpoint and width). - We run RSI on that normalised series (default 14, but optionally matched to the Trend Lookback Period). Using highs and lows instead of close or OHLC4 makes the trend value sensitive to *range shape* and *asymmetry* (big wicks, uneven extremes), not just the centre of the candle. As compared to a simple RSI (also included simply for comparison), this PA Trend tends to decay faster and recovers faster. 🟩 HOW TO USE IT (PRACTICAL) ⭐ Trend pane - Treat the line as a measure of *trend strength*, not a prediction. - Neutral zone = trend is not convincingly bullish or bearish. - Strong moves away from neutral = “trend has conviction”. ⭐ Overbought / oversold markers Overbought/oversold doesn’t mean “reversal right now”. It means the *rate of directional change* is unsustainably strong. - Overbought in an uptrend: trend is overheating. Tighten long stops; expect rest/retrace/reversal once overheating ends. - Oversold in an uptrend: the countertrend down is likely exhausting. Potential “buy the dip” context. - Reverse the above for downtrends. This works on any market, any timeframe. Lower timeframes will be choppier. Don’t trade these signals blindly; use market structure, S/R, and your other tools. 🟩 SETTINGS (OVERVIEW) 🟦 Settings - Pane Plot Mode: choose whether the pane shows Trend or Overbought/Oversold series. - Trend Lookback Period: channel smoothing for the trend model (higher = smoother, lower = faster). - Show Overbought & Oversold Shapes: show/hide the triangles on the main chart. - Overbought/sold Lookback Period: channel smoothing for OB/OS detection (lower = more sensitive). - Overbought/sold Adaptive Length: smoothing for the dynamic OB/OS levels (lower = more adaptive). 🟦 Display - Transparency for the candle colour: bar colour transparency (Gradient mode). - Trend Colour Mode: Classic vs strength-based Gradient. 🟦 Price Average - Show Price Average: show/hide the OHLC4 average price line. - Lookback: length for the price average. - Smoothing: SMA / EMA / RMA. - Colour Channel by Price Average: neutral/green/red channel colouring depending on whether the price average is inside/above/below the channel. 🟦 Advanced - Trend Upper/Lower Neutral Threshold: neutral zone bounds (also used by the dynamic OB/OS logic). - PA RSI Length: choose Fixed (14) or match the Trend Lookback Period. - Show RSI (close): optional “reference RSI” plot with length. 🟩 ALERTS There are built-in alert conditions for this indicator: - Overbought PA Trend: triggers when the PA overbought condition is true. - Oversold PA Trend: triggers when the PA oversold condition is true. - Trend flips up: triggers when the trend changes from down to up (ignores any intervening neutral bars). - Trend flips down: triggers when the trend changes from up to down (ignores any intervening neutral bars). - Lost overbought: triggers on the first red candle after the overbought condition ends (set this alert on close to avoid false alerts). - Lost oversold: triggers on the first green candle after the oversold condition ends (set this alert on close to avoid false alerts). 🟩 REPAINTING / CALCULATION NOTES According to my understanding, this indicator does not repaint (it does not go back and alter closed bars). However, while the current candle is forming, values that depend on the current price will update in real time. Once the candle closes, they are fixed. The overbought/oversold calculations use Williams fractal-style confirmation logic, which cannot be known until some bars afterwards. This affects when the OB/OS levels update, but new confirmations only affect future calculations, not the past. 🟩 CREDITS The idea for using smoothed highs/lows to create a price-action channel came from my humble trading mentor. All the code is my own. 🟩 DISCLAIMER No indicator is a substitute for knowing what you’re doing. By using this indicator you agree that it might not do what you or anyone else expects. You retain full responsibility for your trading at all times. Before trading with actual money, first make sure your risk management is professional-level.

SMC BOS Strategy 1:1 RRThe SMC BOS Strategy 1:1 RR is a Smart Money Concepts–based trading strategy designed to capture high-probability market continuation moves after a Break of Structure (BOS). It focuses on trading in the direction of institutional momentum with clear risk control. 📌 Core Concept Markets move in structure (higher highs & higher lows in an uptrend, lower highs & lower lows in a downtrend). A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price closes beyond a previous swing high or swing low, signaling that smart money may be pushing price in a new or continued direction. ⚙️ Strategy Rules 1️⃣ Market Structure Identification Swing highs and swing lows define key structure levels. These levels act as institutional decision points. 2️⃣ Break of Structure (BOS) Bullish BOS: Price closes above the previous structure high. Bearish BOS: Price closes below the previous structure low. 3️⃣ Trade Entry Buy after a bullish BOS. Sell after a bearish BOS. Entry is taken at the close of the BOS candle. 4️⃣ Risk Management (1:1 RR) Stop Loss (SL): Long trades → below previous structure low. Short trades → above previous structure high. Take Profit (TP): Set equal to the stop-loss distance (1:1 risk–reward). 📊 Why 1:1 Risk–Reward? Ensures high win-rate focus. Suitable for scalping and intraday trading. Protects capital with consistent, controlled risk. ✅ Key Advantages ✔ Clear and objective rules ✔ Institutional price-action logic (SMC) ✔ Automatic stop loss & take profit ✔ Works on Forex, Gold, Crypto, Indices ✔ Easy to backtest and optimize

VWAP Institutional Trading Engine INDICATORVWAP Institutional Trading Engine Adaptive Market Regime & Trading Model Indicator 🔍 Overview The VWAP Institutional Trading Engine is an advanced, rule-based market analysis indicator designed to replicate institutional decision-making logic using VWAP, volatility, and session-based market behavior. This indicator does not predict price. Instead, it answers a more important question: “What type of trading is appropriate right now – if any?” The engine continuously evaluates: Market regime (trend, range, dead market) Volatility conditions VWAP acceptance and deviation Trading session (Asia / London / New York) Based on this, it dynamically activates one of three trading models: TREND MEAN REVERSION OFF (no trading) This makes it ideal for: Discretionary traders Systematic traders Risk-focused trading Educational / portfolio-style trading approaches 🧠 Core Philosophy Professional trading is not about finding more signals. It is about knowing when not to trade. This indicator is built around three institutional principles: VWAP defines fair value Volatility defines opportunity or danger Different sessions require different behavior ⚙️ Indicator Components 1️⃣ VWAP & Statistical Deviation Bands VWAP represents institutional fair price ±1σ bands indicate acceptance zones ±2σ bands represent statistical extremes Used for: Mean reversion zones Trend acceptance confirmation Go Score calculation 2️⃣ Volatility Engine Volatility is measured using ATR relative to price Compared against its own moving average Classifications: Low volatility → dead / untradable market Normal volatility → structured behavior High volatility → trend or liquidation events 3️⃣ Market Regime Detection The engine classifies each moment into one regime: Regime Meaning TREND Price accepts above or below VWAP with volatility RANGE Price rotates near VWAP DEAD Low volatility, no opportunity MIXED Unclear structure 4️⃣ Active Trading Model (Most Important) Displayed in the dashboard as Model: Model Interpretation TREND Trade with momentum and continuation MEAN_REVERT Trade extremes back to VWAP OFF Do not trade The Model tells you HOW you are allowed to trade right now. 5️⃣ Session Awareness (UTC) The indicator adapts behavior based on session logic: Session Preferred Behavior Asia Mean Reversion London Trend New York Selective / adaptive Trades are only allowed when model + session are aligned. 6️⃣ Go Score – Trade Quality Filter Each potential setup receives a Go Score (0–100), based on: Distance from VWAP Market regime quality Volatility penalties Go Score Interpretation ≥ 80 High-quality (A+) 65–79 Acceptable < 65 No trade 7️⃣ Risk Guidance (Informational) The indicator outputs a Risk % suggestion, based on: Go Score Simulated drawdown logic ⚠️ This is guidance only, not position sizing. 📈 Visual Signals The indicator plots contextual signals, not blind entries: Mean Reversion Signals ▲ Long below −2σ ▼ Short above +2σ Trend Signals ↑ Long after acceptance above +1σ ↓ Short after acceptance below −1σ Signals appear only when trading is allowed by: Model Session Go Score 🧩 Dashboard Explanation The top-right dashboard displays real-time engine state: Field Description Session Current UTC session Regime Detected market condition Go Score Trade quality score Risk % Suggested relative risk Drawdown % Virtual defensive metric Model Active trading model If Model = OFF → do nothing. 🧭 Practical Trading Manual (Step-by-Step) Step 1 – Check the Model TREND → look for continuation MEAN_REVERT → look for extremes OFF → do not trade Step 2 – Confirm Session Alignment Asia + Mean Reversion ✔ London + Trend ✔ Misalignment = caution Step 3 – Check Go Score Below 65 → skip 65+ → proceed Step 4 – Use Chart Structure VWAP = anchor σ bands = context Signal = permission, not obligation Step 5 – Manage Risk Manually Use your own SL/TP rules Follow the Risk % as guidance, not law ❌ What This Indicator Is NOT Not a signal spam tool Not a prediction system Not a “holy grail” It is a decision framework. ✅ Best Use Cases Futures Indices Forex Crypto Intraday & swing trading Recommended timeframes: 5m – 1H (intraday) 4H (contextual swing) 🏁 Final Notes This indicator is intentionally transparent and rule-based. It is designed to help traders: Think in regimes Trade with structure Avoid overtrading Protect capital If you trade with the Model, not against it, you will already be ahead of most market participants.

Ping-Pong Fade (BB + Absorption Proxy)Ping-Pong Fade is a short-term mean-reversion indicator designed to capitalize on range-bound, low-catalyst market conditions. The setup targets price extremes where directional follow-through fails and liquidity absorption occurs, causing price to revert back toward equilibrium. When price reaches a statistical extreme (±2 standard deviations) without acceptance, aggressive orders are absorbed rather than expanded. This imbalance frequently leads to a controlled reversal back toward the mean. 1. Bollinger Band Extreme Upper Band (2 SD) → potential short fade Lower Band (2 SD) → potential long fade 2. Absorption Proxy (Tape Substitute) Absorption is inferred using: Volume expansion relative to recent average Small candle body (lack of continuation) Rejection from the Bollinger Band extreme Signals FADE ↑ → Long setup at lower band with absorption FADE ↓ → Short setup at upper band with absorption Signals are plotted directly on the chart and can be used with alerts. Ideal Market Conditions Sideways or rotational markets Midday consolidation Low-volatility environments Liquid ETFs and large-cap stocks Conditions to Avoid Opening range expansion Strong trend days High-impact news or macro events

Is it a trading day? (Not weekend/holiday) 2. Is it within session hours? 3. Are visual settings enabled? (Click indicator → Settings → Inputs → scroll to Visual Settings) ### "I see session boxes but no liquidity levels" **Reason:** Liquidity levels only appear after sessions complete (after 08:00 NY) **Solution:** Wait until London session ends ### "I got manipulation alert but no FVG formed" **Possible reasons:** 1. Distribution phase incomplete (need displacement + structure shift) 2. No valid FVG detected (gap too small) 3. Settings too strict **Solution:** Enable debug mode to see what's blocking progression ### "Entry signal never appeared" **Check debug table:** - Is FVG detected? ✓ - Is price in FVG? (may have missed it) - Is entry timeout reached? (>60 minutes past 10am) **Solutions:** - Increase entry timeout to 90 minutes - Watch price more closely when FVG forms --- ## 🎓 Learning Mode (First Week) ### Day 1-2: Observation Only - Watch indicator state progression - Note when each label appears - Don't take trades yet - just learn the flow ### Day 3-5: Paper Trading - Take trades on paper when entry signal appears - Track outcomes in spreadsheet - Refine understanding of risk/reward ### Day 6-10: Small Size Live - If paper results positive, start with 1 micro contract (MES/MNQ) - Gradually increase as confidence builds --- ## 📈 Success Metrics (First 30 Days) Track these metrics: **Setup Quality:** - Total days with complete AMD cycle: ___ / 20 trading days - % of cycles that completed: ___% (target: >50%) **Entry Quality:** - Total entry signals: ___ - Signals taken: ___ - Win rate: ___% (target: >55%) **Execution Quality:** - Average R-multiple: ___ (target: >1.5R) - Max adverse excursion: ___ (should be < stop distance) - Max favorable excursion: ___ (should be > 2R minimum) --- ## 🔧 Settings Adjustment After First Week ### If too many false signals: ``` Sweep ATR: 1.5 → 2.0 Displacement ATR: 2.0 → 2.5 FVG Min Size: 0.5 → 0.7 ``` ### If missing good setups: ``` Sweep ATR: 1.5 → 1.2 Displacement ATR: 2.0 → 1.7 FVG Min Size: 0.5 → 0.4 Entry Timeout: 60 → 90 minutes ``` ### If setups never complete: ``` Structure Confirm: 2 → 1 bar Swing Length: 5 → 3 FVG Lookback: 10 → 15 bars ``` --- ## 📱 Mobile Setup (Optional) 1. Download TradingView app 2. Open saved chart with AMD indicator 3. Alerts will push to phone when conditions met 4. Can monitor progression on mobile **Limitations:** - Smaller screen (harder to see details) - Debug table may be hard to read - Recommend tablet over phone for active monitoring --- ## ✅ Day 1 Checklist Before market open tomorrow: - Indicator installed on chart - Settings verified (timezone, defaults) - At least "Entry Allowed" alert set up - Alert notifications working (test with random alert) - Risk management plan documented - Position size calculated - Stop loss strategy defined - Trading journal ready to log results --- ## 🎯 Key Reminders 1. **One setup per day maximum** (unless max entries increased) 2. **Only trade after 10:00 AM** (decision point) 3. **Wait for entry signal** (don't anticipate) 4. **Stop loss is mandatory** (below/above manipulation level) 5. **If in doubt, sit out** (better to miss setup than lose capital) --- ## 📞 Next Steps **After first successful setup observed:** → Review full documentation (AMD_DOCUMENTATION.md) **After 10-20 trades:** → Analyze results, adjust parameters **After 60 days with positive results:** → Consider strategy version for automation --- **Good luck with your first AMD setup!** Remember: The indicator prevents premature entry.

Donchian FlowDonchain Flow is a breakout indicator inspired by Donchian channels, using a customizable block size to detect market swings. It generates buy/sell signals only on high-volume breakouts (RVOL > threshold) in strong trends (ADX > threshold), filtering out noisy/choppy periods. Visuals include channel lines, regime background coloring (green: bullish, red: bearish, gray: weak trend), and labeled signals for optimal entries. Ideal for trend-following strategies. Despite its simplicity, it performs surprisingly well. I recommend reviewing it for scalping.

Ultimate Imbalance + RSI + Mean Reversion (v6) FVG / Imbalance Logic: 🔵 Blue boxes (solid) Bullish imbalances These are areas where buying was so aggressive that price skipped levels. What they represent • Inefficient auction • Buyers overwhelmed sellers • Market left “unfinished business” below price Types inside blue boxes • Solid blue box = FVG or Opening Gap • Blue dotted box = Volume Imbalance (VI) __________________________________________________ 🔴 Red boxes (solid) Bearish imbalances Opposite of blue: selling pressure skipped levels upward. What they represent • Aggressive sellers • Liquidity vacuum above price • Unfinished auction above __________________________________________________ Gray boxes Dead / resolved imbalances These were once valid, but are now structurally irrelevant. Boxes turn Gray when one of two things happened: 1. Filled • Bullish → price traded down into the bottom of the box • Bearish → price traded up into the top of the box 2. Invalidated • Bullish → price closed below the box • Bearish → price closed above the box Gray = do not trade anymore // It’s historical context only. They extend forward to: • To visually show when they were resolved • Help you see how long imbalances tend to survive on that market / timeframe __________________________________________________ RSI Logic: RSI filter (RSI 9, smoothed) • Long bias: RSI ≤ 20 (oversold) • Short bias: RSI ≥ 80 (overbought) 👉 RSI must already be extreme // We do NOT trade mid-range RSI. __________________________________________________ Mean Reversion Channel (MRC) Logic: What it measures: • Distance from statistically “fair” price • Uses volatility-adjusted bands (not fixed %) Zones: • Inner band = Normal mean oscillation • Outer band = Exhaustion • Beyond outer = Forced unwind / liquidation Trade bias logic: • Long allowed only if: price at or below lower outer band • Short allowed only if: price at or above upper outer band __________________________________________________ Final Signal from all 3 (prints a triangle): ✅ Long setup 1. Active bullish imbalance is touched 2. RSI ≤ oversold 3. Price is at MRC oversold zone ✅ Short setup 1. Active bearish imbalance is touched 2. RSI ≥ overbought 3. Price is at MRC overbought zone This is why signals are intentionally rare.

ATR Trimmed Daily Volatility Context Open-Close AnchoredPurpose This indicator provides daily volatility context using a trimmed Average True Range ATR. It helps you assess whether todays movement is compressed, normal, or expanded — without predicting direction. Key idea Price movement is meaningful only relative to typical volatility. ATR describes what is normal for the instrument; it does not forecast highs-lows. How it works ATR Trim is calculated from the last N completed daily candles (default 5). The script optionally removes extreme daily ranges (Trim used) to reduce distortion from abnormal spikes. Bands are projected from a selectable Anchor: Open (todays daily open) — intraday session context Close (previous days close) — swing-multi-day context

The Blessed Trader Ph. | Double EMA + RSI (20) Strategy v1.0📊 The Blessed Trader Ph. Double EMA + RSI (20) Strategy — v1.0 1️⃣ Strategy Overview This is a trend-following breakout strategy designed to: Catch strong directional moves Filter out weak trades using momentum confirmation Control risk with ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit It works best in trending markets such as: Crypto (BTC, ETH, altcoins) Forex (major & minor pairs) Indices (NAS100, US30, SPX) 2️⃣ Indicators Used 🔹 Double EMA Channel EMA 20 High → Dynamic resistance EMA 20 Low → Dynamic support These two EMAs create a price channel: Break above → bullish strength Break below → bearish weakness Unlike a single EMA on close, using High & Low EMAs helps: Reduce fake breakouts Confirm real price expansion 🔹 RSI (20) Measures momentum strength RSI > 50 → bullish momentum RSI < 50 → bearish momentum RSI is used only as a filter, not as an overbought/oversold signal. 🔹 ATR (14) Measures market volatility Used to calculate: Stop Loss (1.5 × ATR) Take Profit (3.0 × ATR) This makes the strategy: Adaptive to any market Effective across timeframes 3️⃣ Trade Rules (Very Important) ✅ BUY (LONG) Conditions A buy trade is opened only when all conditions are met: Price closes above EMA 20 High RSI (20) is above 50 Candle is confirmed (bar close) ➡️ This means: “Price has broken resistance with strong momentum.” ❌ SELL / EXIT Conditions The long trade is closed when: Price closes below EMA 20 Low RSI (20) is below 50 ➡️ This signals: “Trend strength is weakening or reversing.” 🛑 Stop Loss & 🎯 Take Profit Stop Loss = Entry − (ATR × 1.5) Take Profit = Entry + (ATR × 3.0) Risk–Reward ≈ 1 : 2 This protects capital and lets winners run. 4️⃣ Why This Strategy Works ✔ Trades with the trend ✔ Avoids ranging markets ✔ Uses confirmation, not prediction ✔ Non-repainting (bar close only) ✔ Works on any timeframe 5️⃣ 🔥 Why Heikin Ashi Candles Improve Results What are Heikin Ashi candles?

Volume MAs Cloud Trend | Lyro RSVolume MAs Cloud Trend is a volume-weighted trend-following indicator designed to identify market direction, momentum strength, and dynamic trade management directly on price. By combining volume-adjusted moving averages, adaptive deviation bands, and an integrated ATR trailing stop, it delivers clear visual trend structure and actionable signals in a single overlay. Key Features Volume-Adjusted Moving Average Uses a normalized formula: (Price × Volume) MA ÷ Volume MA, ensuring high-participation price moves carry greater influence. Supports 16+ MA types, with VWMA handled natively. Deviation Band Cloud Upper and lower bands are built from standard deviation over the MA length, scaled by independent positive and negative multipliers to adapt to volatility. Cloud & Trail Modes Cloud Mode visualizes trend structure using a filled band cloud. Trail Mode switches to an ATR-based trailing stop for trend management. Automatic Trend Signals Bullish signals trigger when price crosses above the positive band. Bearish signals trigger when price crosses below the negative band. ATR Trailing Stop (Built-In) A volatility-adjusted trailing stop initializes on each new trend and updates only in the trade direction, helping lock in gains while staying with the trend. Custom Visuals & Palettes Choose from Classic, Mystic, Accented, or Royal palettes, or define your own bullish and bearish colors. Includes MA glow, trend cloud fill, and trend-colored candles. How It Works MA Construction Applies the selected moving average to volume-weighted price (or VWMA when selected) to create a participation-aware trend baseline. Band Calculation Calculates rolling standard deviation and offsets it using user-defined multipliers to form adaptive upper and lower trend bands. Trend Detection Crosses above the upper band confirm bullish momentum. Crosses below the lower band confirm bearish momentum. Trailing Stop Logic On each new trend signal, an ATR-based trailing stop is initialized and dynamically updated in the trend direction. Visual Synchronization MA, cloud, trailing stop, and candles all change color in real time to reflect the current trend state. Practical Use Trend Confirmation Sustained price action outside the cloud indicates strong directional momentum. Breakout Identification Band crosses highlight potential trend starts, especially when aligned with volatility expansion. Trade Management Trail Mode provides objective, volatility-based exits for trend-following strategies. Quick Market Scanning Color-coded candles and cloud structure allow fast visual assessment across multiple symbols and timeframes. Customization Adjust MA type and length to control responsiveness Tune band multipliers for volatility sensitivity Switch between Cloud and Trail modes depending on strategy Customize color schemes to match your chart layout ⚠️ Disclaimer This indicator is intended for technical analysis and educational purposes only.
