Cheat CodeWhy Monday & Friday Monday evening (NY): frequently seeds the weekly expansion. Its DR/IDR often acts as a weekly “starter envelope,” useful for breakout continuation or fade back into the box plays as liquidity builds. Friday evening (NY): often exposes end-of-week traps (run on stops into the close) and sets expectation boundaries into the following week. Carry these levels forward to catch Monday’s reaction to Friday’s closing structure. Typical use-cases Breakout & retest: Price closes outside the Monday DR/IDR → look for retests of the band edge for continuation. Liquidity sweep (“trap”) recognition: Friday session wicks briefly beyond Friday DR/IDR then closes back inside → watch for mean reversion early next week. Bias filter: Above both Monday DR midline and Friday DR midline → bias long until proven otherwise; the inverse for shorts. Session open confluence: Reactions at the open line frequently mark decision points for momentum vs. fade setups. (This is a levels framework, not a signals engine. Combine with your execution model: orderflow, S/R, session timing, or higher-TF bias.) Inputs & styling (quick reference) Display toggles (per day): Show DR / IDR / Middle DR / Middle IDR Show Opening Line Show DR/IDR Box (choose DR or IDR as box source) Show Price Labels Style controls (per day): Line width (1–4), style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) Independent colors for DR, IDR, midlines, open line Box background opacity Timezone: Default America/New_York (changeable). Optional on-chart warning if your chart TZ differs. Practical notes Works on intraday charts; levels are anchored using weekly timestamps for accuracy on any symbol. Live updating: During the Mon/Fri calc windows, DR/IDR highs/lows and midlines keep updating until the session ends. Clean drawings: Lines, box, and labels are created once per session and then extended/updated—efficient on resources even with long display windows. Max elements: Script reserves ample line/box/label capacity for stability across weeks.

SONIC R BREAK FINAL (VER5) Purpose: Capture breakouts through Support/Resistance (S/R) zones based on Pivot and filter signals using EMA 34 (High/Low/Close), EMA 89, volume, and candle structure. Includes a Higher Timeframe (H4) RSI risk warning (visual only, does not block entries). How it works S/R zones from Pivot Draws Resistance and Support using ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow with Left/Right Bars. S/R lines are locked with offset to reduce repaint. EMA trend filters EMA34 High/Low/Close build a “EMA 34 band”. EMA89 works as the main trend filter. Trend conditions: Long: close above all EMA34 High/Low/Close and EMA89. Short: close below all EMA34 High/Low/Close and EMA89. Volume filter (optional) Signal valid only if Volume > SMA(Volume, n). Wick filter Each wick (upper/lower) ≤ 50% of candle range to avoid weak breakouts. Higher TF RSI risk (H4) Fetches RSI from a higher timeframe (default H4). If RSI exceeds threshold, breakout labels turn gray (risk warning only). Anti-repeat mechanism Each new pivot resets trigger. Each S/R level triggers only once until the next pivot is formed. Signals & Alerts Label “B” (green) below candle: breakout above Resistance, valid EMA/Volume/Wick conditions. Label “S” (red) above candle: breakout below Support, valid EMA/Volume/Wick conditions. Gray labels = H4 RSI risk warning. Unified alert: “S/R Breakout (Unified)” with message B=Buy, S=Sell, Gray=Risk. Parameters Show Breaks: toggle breakout detection. Left/Right Bars: pivot sensitivity. Require Volume > Average + Volume MA Length: volume filter. Use H4 RSI Risk Warning: enable higher TF RSI check. RSI Length, Higher TF (minutes), RSI thresholds for Buy/Sell risk. Usage tips Prioritize trades in the same direction as EMA89 and EMA34 trend. Works on M5 to H4; best combined with RSI H4 when trading M15/M30. Place SL behind the S/R just broken, TP by fixed RR or EMA trailing. Increase Left/Right Bars for stronger zones and less noise in sideways markets. Notes Pivot still has repaint element (mitigated by offset). This indicator is not financial advice. Always combine with proper risk management. Version Clean v4: added wick ≤50% filter, H4 RSI risk coloring, volume filter, anti-repeat pivot trigger, unified alert, EMA34 H/L/C background shading.

Rolling Volatility BandsMake sure to view it from the 1D candlestick chart. The Rolling Volatility Bands indicator provides a statistically-driven approach to visualizing expected daily price movements using true volatility calculations employed by professional options traders. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands which use price standard deviation around a moving average, this indicator calculates actual daily volatility from log returns over customizable rolling periods (20-day and 60-day), then annualizes the volatility using the standard √252 formula before projecting forward-looking probability bands. The 1 Standard Deviation bands represent a ~68% probability zone where price is expected to trade the following day, while the 2 Standard Deviation bands capture ~95% of expected movements. This methodology mirrors how major exchanges calculate expected moves for earnings and FOMC events, making it invaluable for options strategies like iron condors during low-volatility periods (narrow bands) or directional plays when volatility expands. The indicator works on any timeframe while always utilizing daily candle data via security() calls, ensuring consistent volatility calculations regardless of your chart resolution, and includes real-time annualized volatility percentages plus daily expected range statistics for comprehensive market analysis.

Markov Chain [3D] | FractalystWhat exactly is a Markov Chain? This indicator uses a Markov Chain model to analyze, quantify, and visualize the transitions between market regimes (Bull, Bear, Neutral) on your chart. It dynamically detects these regimes in real-time, calculates transition probabilities, and displays them as animated 3D spheres and arrows, giving traders intuitive insight into current and future market conditions. How does a Markov Chain work, and how should I read this spheres-and-arrows diagram? Think of three weather modes: Sunny, Rainy, Cloudy. Each sphere is one mode. The loop on a sphere means “stay the same next step” (e.g., Sunny again tomorrow). The arrows leaving a sphere show where things usually go next if they change (e.g., Sunny moving to Cloudy). Some paths matter more than others. A more prominent loop means the current mode tends to persist. A more prominent outgoing arrow means a change to that destination is the usual next step. Direction isn’t symmetric: moving Sunny→Cloudy can behave differently than Cloudy→Sunny. Now relabel the spheres to markets: Bull, Bear, Neutral. Spheres: market regimes (uptrend, downtrend, range). Self‑loop: tendency for the current regime to continue on the next bar. Arrows: the most common next regime if a switch happens. How to read: Start at the sphere that matches current bar state. If the loop stands out, expect continuation. If one outgoing path stands out, that switch is the typical next step. Opposite directions can differ (Bear→Neutral doesn’t have to match Neutral→Bear). What states and transitions are shown? The three market states visualized are: Bullish (Bull): Upward or strong-market regime. Bearish (Bear): Downward or weak-market regime. Neutral: Sideways or range-bound regime. Bidirectional animated arrows and probability labels show how likely the market is to move from one regime to another (e.g., Bull → Bear or Neutral → Bull). How does the regime detection system work? You can use either built-in price returns (based on adaptive Z-score normalization) or supply three custom indicators (such as volume, oscillators, etc.). Values are statistically normalized (Z-scored) over a configurable lookback period. The normalized outputs are classified into Bull, Bear, or Neutral zones. If using three indicators, their regime signals are averaged and smoothed for robustness. How are transition probabilities calculated? On every confirmed bar, the algorithm tracks the sequence of detected market states, then builds a rolling window of transitions. The code maintains a transition count matrix for all regime pairs (e.g., Bull → Bear). Transition probabilities are extracted for each possible state change using Laplace smoothing for numerical stability, and frequently updated in real-time. What is unique about the visualization? 3D animated spheres represent each regime and change visually when active. Animated, bidirectional arrows reveal transition probabilities and allow you to see both dominant and less likely regime flows. Particles (moving dots) animate along the arrows, enhancing the perception of regime flow direction and speed. All elements dynamically update with each new price bar, providing a live market map in an intuitive, engaging format. Can I use custom indicators for regime classification? Yes! Enable the "Custom Indicators" switch and select any three chart series as inputs. These will be normalized and combined (each with equal weight), broadening the regime classification beyond just price-based movement. What does the “Lookback Period” control? Lookback Period (default: 100) sets how much historical data builds the probability matrix. Shorter periods adapt faster to regime changes but may be noisier. Longer periods are more stable but slower to adapt. How is this different from a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)? It sets the window for both regime detection and probability calculations. Lower values make the system more reactive, but potentially noisier. Higher values smooth estimates and make the system more robust. How is this Markov Chain different from a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)? Markov Chain (as here): All market regimes (Bull, Bear, Neutral) are directly observable on the chart. The transition matrix is built from actual detected regimes, keeping the model simple and interpretable. Hidden Markov Model: The actual regimes are unobservable ("hidden") and must be inferred from market output or indicator "emissions" using statistical learning algorithms. HMMs are more complex, can capture more subtle structure, but are harder to visualize and require additional machine learning steps for training. A standard Markov Chain models transitions between observable states using a simple transition matrix, while a Hidden Markov Model assumes the true states are hidden (latent) and must be inferred from observable “emissions” like price or volume data. In practical terms, a Markov Chain is transparent and easier to implement and interpret; an HMM is more expressive but requires statistical inference to estimate hidden states from data. Markov Chain: states are observable; you directly count or estimate transition probabilities between visible states. This makes it simpler, faster, and easier to validate and tune. HMM: states are hidden; you only observe emissions generated by those latent states. Learning involves machine learning/statistical algorithms (commonly Baum–Welch/EM for training and Viterbi for decoding) to infer both the transition dynamics and the most likely hidden state sequence from data. How does the indicator avoid “repainting” or look-ahead bias? All regime changes and matrix updates happen only on confirmed (closed) bars, so no future data is leaked, ensuring reliable real-time operation. Are there practical tuning tips? Tune the Lookback Period for your asset/timeframe: shorter for fast markets, longer for stability. Use custom indicators if your asset has unique regime drivers. Watch for rapid changes in transition probabilities as early warning of a possible regime shift. Who is this indicator for? Quants and quantitative researchers exploring probabilistic market modeling, especially those interested in regime-switching dynamics and Markov models. Programmers and system developers who need a probabilistic regime filter for systematic and algorithmic backtesting: The Markov Chain indicator is ideally suited for programmatic integration via its bias output (1 = Bull, 0 = Neutral, -1 = Bear). Although the visualization is engaging, the core output is designed for automated, rules-based workflows—not for discretionary/manual trading decisions. Developers can connect the indicator’s output directly to their Pine Script logic (using input.source()), allowing rapid and robust backtesting of regime-based strategies. It acts as a plug-and-play regime filter: simply plug the bias output into your entry/exit logic, and you have a scientifically robust, probabilistically-derived signal for filtering, timing, position sizing, or risk regimes. The MC's output is intentionally "trinary" (1/0/-1), focusing on clear regime states for unambiguous decision-making in code. If you require nuanced, multi-probability or soft-label state vectors, consider expanding the indicator or stacking it with a probability-weighted logic layer in your scripting. Because it avoids subjectivity, this approach is optimal for systematic quants, algo developers building backtested, repeatable strategies based on probabilistic regime analysis. What's the mathematical foundation behind this? The mathematical foundation behind this Markov Chain indicator—and probabilistic regime detection in finance—draws from two principal models: the (standard) Markov Chain and the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). How to use this indicator programmatically? The Markov Chain indicator automatically exports a bias value (+1 for Bullish, -1 for Bearish, 0 for Neutral) as a plot visible in the Data Window. This allows you to integrate its regime signal into your own scripts and strategies for backtesting, automation, or live trading. Step-by-Step Integration with Pine Script (input.source) Add the Markov Chain indicator to your chart. This must be done first, since your custom script will "pull" the bias signal from the indicator's plot. In your strategy, create an input using input.source() Example: //@version=5 strategy("MC Bias Strategy Example") mcBias = input.source(close, "MC Bias Source") After saving, go to your script’s settings. For the “MC Bias Source” input, select the plot/output of the Markov Chain indicator (typically its bias plot). Use the bias in your trading logic Example (long only on Bull, flat otherwise): if mcBias == 1 strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long) else strategy.close("Long") For more advanced workflows, combine mcBias with additional filters or trailing stops. How does this work behind-the-scenes? TradingView’s input.source() lets you use any plot from another indicator as a real-time, “live” data feed in your own script (source). The selected bias signal is available to your Pine code as a variable, enabling logical decisions based on regime (trend-following, mean-reversion, etc.). This enables powerful strategy modularity : decouple regime detection from entry/exit logic, allowing fast experimentation without rewriting core signal code.

How to use this script with the Markov Chain for research and backtesting: Add the Enhanced Indicator Export to your chart. Every calculated indicator is available as an individual data stream. Connect the indicator(s) you want as custom input(s) to the Markov Chain’s “Custom Indicators” option. In the Markov Chain indicator’s settings, turn ON the custom indicator mode. For each of the three custom indicator inputs, select the exported plot from the Enhanced Export script—the menu lists all 45+ signals by name. This creates a powerful, modular regime-detection engine where you can mix-and-match momentum, trend, volume, or custom combinations for advanced filtering. Backtest regime logic directly. Once you’ve connected your chosen indicators, the Markov Chain script performs regime detection (Bull/Neutral/Bear) based on your selected features—not just price returns. The regime detection is robust, automatically normalized (using Z-score), and outputs bias (1, -1, 0) for plug-and-play integration. Export the regime bias for programmatic use. As described above, use input.source() in your Pine Script strategy or system and link the bias output. You can now filter signals, control trade direction/size, or design pairs-trading that respect true, indicator-driven market regimes. With this framework, you’re not limited to static or simplistic regime filters. You can rigorously define, test, and refine what “market regime” means for your strategies—using the technical features that matter most to you. Optimize your signal generation by backtesting across a universe of meaningful indicator blends. Enhance risk management with objective, real-time regime boundaries. Accelerate your research: iterate quickly, swap indicator components, and see results with minimal code changes. Automate multi-asset or pairs-trading by integrating regime context directly into strategy logic. Add both scripts to your chart, connect your preferred features, and start investigating your best regime-based trades—entirely within the TradingView ecosystem.

The chain is drawn directly on your chart. You see the current regime, its tendency to stay (self‑loop), and the usual next step (arrows) as bars confirm. - Source‑agnostic by design. The engine runs on any series you select via input.source() — price, your own oscillator, a composite score, anything you compute in the script. - Automatic normalization + regime mapping. Different inputs live on different scales. The script standardizes your chosen source and maps it into clear regimes (e.g., Bull / Bear / Neutral) without you micromanaging thresholds each time. - Rolling, bar‑by‑bar learning. Transition tendencies are computed from a rolling window of confirmed bars. What you see is exactly what the market did in that window. - Fast experimentation. Switch the source, adjust the window, and the Markov view updates instantly. It’s a rapid way to test ideas and feel regime persistence/switch behavior. Integrate your own signals (using input.source()) - In settings, choose the Source . This is powered by input.source() . - Feed it price, an indicator you compute inside the script, or a custom composite series. - The script will automatically normalize that series and process it through the Markov engine, mapping it to regimes and updating the on‑chart spheres/arrows in real time. Credits: Deep gratitude to @RicardoSantos for both the foundational Markov chain processing engine and inspiring open-source contributions, which made advanced probabilistic market modeling accessible to the TradingView community. Special thanks to @Alien_Algorithms for the innovative and visually stunning 3D sphere logic that powers the indicator’s animated, regime-based visualization.

HTF Candles & ReversalsThis is a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis tool designed to give you a broader perspective on market structure directly from your main chart. It overlays candles from up to six user-defined higher timeframes (HTF) and includes a built-in indicator to spot potential price reversals. This allows you to analyze the bigger picture and make more informed decisions without constantly switching between different chart layouts. Key Features Multi-Timeframe Candle Display: Renders candles from up to six different higher timeframes (the defaults are 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, and 1W). You can see how the current price action fits within the larger trend. Reversal Pattern Detection: The script identifies and highlights potential bullish and bearish reversal patterns. This works on both your main chart's candles and the displayed HTF candles, helping you spot potential shifts in momentum on multiple scales. Imbalance (FVG) Highlighting: Automatically detects and draws Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the HTF candles, pointing out areas of inefficient price action that may act as magnets for future price movement. Full Customization: You have complete control over the visual elements. Adjust the colors for candle bodies, borders, and wicks. Change the positioning of the HTF display, and toggle labels, timers, and imbalance boxes to create a clean workspace that fits your trading style. How to Use This Indicator Gain Market Context: Use the HTF candles to quickly gauge the dominant trend. For example, if the 4H and 1D candles are bullish, you might look for buying opportunities on your lower timeframe chart. The highs and lows of these HTF candles often serve as strong support and resistance levels. Identify Reversals: Triangles on the Main Chart: A green triangle below a candle suggests a potential bullish reversal, while a red triangle above suggests a potential bearish reversal. This pattern appears when a candle makes a new low/high but closes stronger/weaker than the previous one. Colored HTF Candles: When an HTF candle is colored (lime for bullish, orange for bearish), it indicates that a reversal pattern has formed on that specific higher timeframe, which could signal a more significant change in market direction. Utilize Imbalances: The highlighted FVG boxes can be treated as areas of interest. Price often revisits these zones, making them potential targets for trades or areas to watch for a reaction. Settings Breakdown Candle Color: Independently set the colors for bullish and bearish candle bodies, borders, and wicks. Layout: Use the HTF Distance setting to control how far the displayed candles appear from the current price action. Labels: Choose whether to display the timeframe name and a countdown timer for each HTF candle. You can position these labels at the top, bottom, or both. Imbalances: Toggle the visibility of the FVG boxes and customize their color. Reversal Indicator: Enable or disable the reversal triangles on your main chart and the special coloring for reversal candles on both the main chart and the HTF displays.

Always use risk management and conduct your own analysis before entering any trade.
