Gaussian Volatility Adjusted Gaussian Volatility Adjusted Indicator The Gaussian Volatility Adjusted indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify trend direction and momentum by combining a Gaussian-filtered moving average with volatility-based thresholds. By smoothing price data with a Gaussian filter and adjusting for market volatility using Average True Range (ATR) and Standard Deviation (SD), this indicator generates clear bullish and bearish signals. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the momentum difference and price bars are dynamically colored to highlight trend strength, making it easier for traders to identify potential entry and exit points in various market conditions. How It Works Gaussian Filter Calculations Gaussian Filter: Applies a Gaussian smoothing filter to a user-defined price source, typically an EMA of the closing price, over a configurable length (default: 70) with a specified sigma (default: 12). The Gaussian filter uses a weighted sum based on a Gaussian distribution to reduce noise while preserving significant price trends. Weights are calculated using the Gaussian formula and normalized to ensure accurate smoothing. Base Moving Average: Optionally applies an EMA (default: enabled, length: 45) to the closing price before Gaussian filtering, providing a smoother input for the Gaussian calculation to enhance signal reliability. Volatility Adjustments ATR-Based Bands: Calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined period (default: 24), scaled by a sensitivity factor (default: 1) and an ATR factor (default: 0.85). These form volatility-adjusted bands around the Gaussian-filtered value: Upper Band: Gaussian value + (ATR × ATR Factor). Lower Band: Gaussian value - (ATR × ATR Factor). Standard Deviation Bands: Computes the Standard Deviation (SD) of the closing price over a user-defined period (default: 27), scaled by the sensitivity factor. These form additional bands: Upper SD Band: Gaussian value + SD. Lower SD Band: Gaussian value - SD. Trend and Momentum SignalsTrend Detection:Bullish Trend: Triggered when the closing price exceeds the upper SD band, setting the trend to +1. Bearish Trend: Triggered when the closing price falls below the upper ATR-based band, setting the trend to -1. Momentum Calculation: Computes a momentum difference (Diff) based on the trend: For a bullish trend (+1), Diff = Close - Upper ATR Band. For a bearish trend (-1), Diff = Close - (Gaussian + SD). EMA of Momentum: Applies an EMA (default length: 45) to the momentum difference to smooth the momentum signal. Final Trend with EMA Confluences: If EMA confluence is enabled (default: true), a bullish signal (+1) is confirmed when the trend is +1 and Diff exceeds the EMA of Diff. A bearish signal (-1) is confirmed when the trend is -1 and Diff is below the EMA of Diff. If EMA confluence is disabled, the final trend follows the initial trend direction (±1). Visual Representation The indicator provides a clear and intuitive visual interface: EMA Line: Plots the EMA of the momentum difference, colored based on the final trend: Green: Bullish trend (Final_Trend = +1). Red: Bearish trend (Final_Trend = -1). Gray: Neutral or no trend. Zero Line: A dashed line at zero (semi-transparent) serves as a reference for the EMA plot. Bar Coloring: Price bars are colored to reflect the trend: Green: Bullish trend (Final_Trend = +1). Red: Bearish trend (Final_Trend = -1). No Color: Neutral or no trend. Volatility Bands: While not plotted in the provided script, the ATR and SD bands are calculated and could be plotted for additional context, marking key levels for trend detection. Customization & Parameters The Gaussian Volatility Adjusted indicator offers flexible parameters to suit various trading styles: Volatility Parameters: ATR Length: Period for ATR calculation (default: 24). ATR Factor: Multiplier for ATR-based bands (default: 0.85). SD Length: Period for Standard Deviation calculation (default: 27). Sensitivity: Scales ATR and SD for band sensitivity (default: 1). Moving Average Parameters: Use EMA Confluence: Enable/disable EMA confluence for trend confirmation (default: true). EMA Length: Period for EMA calculations (default: 45). Gaussian Parameter: Gaussian Length: Period for Gaussian filter (default: 70). Sigma: Controls the Gaussian filter’s smoothness (default: 12). Color Settings: EMA line and bars use green for bullish signals, red for bearish signals, and gray for neutral states, with customizable transparency for the zero line. Trading Applications This indicator is versatile and can be applied across various markets and strategies: Trend Following: Use the final trend signals and bar coloring to identify and follow bullish or bearish trends, with the Gaussian filter reducing noise for clearer trend detection. Momentum Trading: The EMA of the momentum difference highlights strong momentum shifts, ideal for entering or exiting trades based on trend strength. Reversal Detection: Monitor price crossings of the ATR and SD bands to identify potential trend reversals, especially when confirmed by the EMA confluence. Scalping and Swing Trading: Adjust parameters (e.g., ATR length, Gaussian length, or sensitivity) to suit short-term scalping or longer-term swing trading strategies. Final Note The Gaussian Volatility Adjusted indicator is a robust tool for traders seeking to leverage smoothed price data and volatility-adjusted thresholds for trend and momentum analysis. Its combination of Gaussian filtering, ATR and SD-based bands, and EMA confluence provides a comprehensive framework for identifying trading opportunities. The dynamic coloring of the EMA line and price bars enhances visual clarity, making it easier to act on signals. As with all indicators, backtest thoroughly and integrate into a comprehensive trading strategy for optimal results.

Kalman VWMA For LoopKalman VWMA For Loop Indicator The Kalman VWMA For Loop indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to smooth price data using a Kalman filter applied to a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). By combining the VWMA’s volume-weighted price sensitivity with the adaptive noise reduction of a Kalman filter, this indicator provides traders with a robust momentum and trend-following signal. The indicator includes a customizable for-loop mechanism to potentially iterate over a range of calculations or parameters, enhancing flexibility for advanced trading strategies. Visual outputs are plotted to help traders identify trends and potential trading opportunities with reduced noise. How It Works VWMA Calculations Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA): Computes a VWMA based on a user-selected price source (default: Close) over a configurable period (default: 14). The VWMA weights price data by trading volume, providing a more accurate representation of market activity compared to a simple moving average. Kalman Filter Calculation Kalman Filter: Applies a Kalman filter to the price source to smooth price movements and reduce noise. The filter uses: Process Noise: Controls the adaptability of the filter to price changes (default: 0.01). Measurement Noise: Adjusts sensitivity to price fluctuations (default: 3). Filter Order (N): Defines the number of states in the Kalman filter (default: 3), allowing for multi-state modeling of price dynamics. The Kalman filter iteratively predicts and updates the price estimate using state estimates and error covariances stored in arrays. This process minimizes noise while preserving significant price trends. For-Loop Mechanism The script includes a for-loop structure with user-defined parameters (from and to_, defaulting to 1 and 25, respectively). While the provided code does not fully implement the for-loop’s functionality, it is intended to allow iterative calculations or parameter sweeps, such as testing multiple periods or thresholds within the specified range. This feature enhances the indicator’s flexibility for optimization or multi-scenario analysis. Visual Representations The indicator plots the VWMA as a red line on the chart, providing a clear visual reference for the volume-weighted trend. The Kalman-filtered price is calculated but not plotted in the provided code. When plotted, it would appear as a smoothed price line, highlighting the underlying trend with reduced noise. The for-loop parameters suggest potential for additional visual outputs (e.g., multiple VWMA lines or signals) if fully implemented, but the current script only plots the VWMA. Customization & Parameters The Kalman VWMA For Loop indicator offers flexible parameters to suit various trading styles: Moving Average Parameters: Price Source: Select the input price (default: Close; options: Close, High, Low, Open). MA Period: Adjust the VWMA calculation period (default: 14). Kalman Parameters: Process Noise: Adjusts the filter’s adaptability to price changes (default: 0.01). Measurement Noise: Controls sensitivity to price fluctuations (default: 3). Filter Order (N): Sets the number of states for the Kalman filter (default: 3). For-Loop Parameters: From: Starting value for the for-loop (default: 1). To: Ending value for the for-loop (default: 25). Color Settings: The VWMA is plotted in red, with potential for additional customizable colors if the for-loop is expanded to plot multiple outputs. Trading Applications This indicator is versatile and can be applied across various markets and strategies: Trend Following: Use the Kalman-filtered price and VWMA to identify the direction and strength of trends, with the smoothed output reducing false signals in volatile markets. Momentum Trading: The VWMA highlights volume-driven price movements, allowing traders to enter or exit based on momentum shifts. Parameter Optimization: The for-loop structure (if fully implemented) enables testing multiple VWMA periods or Kalman parameters, aiding in strategy optimization. Scalping and Swing Trading: Adjust the MA period and Kalman parameters to suit short-term (scalping) or longer-term (swing trading) strategies. Final Note The Kalman VWMA For Loop indicator is a powerful tool for traders seeking to combine volume-weighted price analysis with advanced noise reduction via a Kalman filter. Its customizable parameters and potential for iterative calculations through the for-loop make it adaptable to various trading styles. While the for-loop functionality is not fully implemented in the provided code, completing it could enable dynamic parameter testing or signal generation. As with all indicators, backtest thoroughly and integrate into a comprehensive trading strategy for optimal results.

ICT Smart Money Trading Suite [SwissAlgo]ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite - Technical Analysis Indicator ---------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW The ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite is a technical analysis indicator that implements concepts from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology and Smart Money Concepts (SMC). ICT methodology was developed by Michael J. Huddleston (ICT) and focuses on understanding Institutional market behavior. Smart Money Concepts builds upon these ideas to analyze how large Financial Institutions and/or Market Makers seem to operate in the markets. This indicator combines multiple analytical tools into a single package for market structure analysis, imbalance detection, and the observation of institutional order flow. ---------------------------------------------------------- CORE COMPONENTS Market Structure Analysis: - External Structure : Major swing highs and lows that define broader price movement (these are the most significant structural points that institutions reference for their positioning and typically require substantial volume and momentum to break) - Internal Structure : Shorter-term pivots showing micro-trend developments within the External Structure (these internal pivot highs and lows often represent areas where retail traders may be positioned on the wrong side of the market as they frequently form just before major structural breaks or trend continuations, creating liquidity that institutions can utilize) - Structural Breakout Detection : Identification of structure breaks and potential trend changes ( 'Change of Character' which occurs when the External Structure shifts from bullish to bearish bias or vice-versa indicating a potential major trend reversal, and 'Break of Structure' which happens when price decisively takes out previous significant highs in a bearish trend or previous significant lows in a bullish trend confirming trend continuation or acceleration) - EMA Cloud : Dynamic support and resistance zones with trend context (additional reference point) Imbalance Zone Detection: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Price inefficiencies that occur between candles when sudden price moves create gaps in price delivery Typically formed when the low of a bullish candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods prior, or when the high of a bearish candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods prior These gaps represent areas where price moved too quickly without adequate two-way auction process Institutions may return to fill these inefficiencies at a later time for proper price discovery The theory suggests that all price ranges should eventually be traded through to complete the auction process Gaps are automatically removed from the chart when price fully retraces back through the inefficient area Order Blocks (OBs): Specific candles that occur immediately before significant market moves and represent institutional decision points Identified as the last opposing candle before a strong directional move (final bearish candle before major bullish move or final bullish candle before major bearish move) These candles contain the orders and liquidity that institutions used as a foundation for their market manipulation Represent areas where large institutional players positioned themselves to move the market significantly Price may return to these levels to collect additional liquidity or test institutional resolve The candle's full range (high to low) is considered the active zone where institutional interest may remain Vector Candle Recovery: Zones created by high-activity candles that demonstrate unusually large range and volume characteristics These candles are interpreted as manipulative price pushes designed to hunt liquidity and trigger stop losses Often used by institutions to induce retail traders into poor positions before reversing direction Recovery zones represent the full range of these vector candles where price may retrace The concept assumes that extreme moves often get partially retraced as the market corrects from artificial price displacement Zones are invalidated when a significant portion of the vector candle range is retraced (typically 50% or more) Support & Resistance: Key price zones based on historical price reactions and pivot clustering analysis Calculated through algorithmic identification of areas where price has repeatedly found buyers (support) or sellers (resistance) Strength is determined by the number of times price has reacted from these levels and the volume of activity at these zones Represent psychological and algorithmic reference points where institutional systems are likely to place orders Create areas of increased probability for price reactions due to concentration of pending orders and decision-making activity Zones are color-coded based on current price position: green for support (price above), red for resistance (price below), yellow for neutral (price within) Liquidity Analysis: - Liquidity Pools : Areas above or below key levels where stop orders may cluster - Kill Zones : Time-based periods associated with increased market activity - Daily/Weekly/Monthly Price Levels : Key institutional reference points (price highs/lows) Vector Candles/Price Manipulation: Advanced algorithm identifying statistically significant candles using volume delta analysis, range statistics, and persistence scoring. ---------------------------------------------------------- VISUAL INTERPRETATION - DETAILED GUIDE MARKET STRUCTURE External Structure (Thick Lines): - Green thick lines: Major support levels (external lows) that define bullish structure - Red thick lines: Major resistance levels (external highs) that define bearish structure -

AVWAP 4HThe AVWAP 4H indicator is a multi-session Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (AVWAP) tool designed for intraday precision and institutional-grade insight. It plots session-specific AVWAP lines based on a series of key UTC-based time anchors, allowing traders to monitor value zones and dynamic support/resistance across global trading hours. This script calculates and displays AVWAP lines anchored from five distinct UTC times: 8:00 PM (ETH Open) 10:00 PM 2:00 AM 6:00 AM 10:00 AM Each line is calculated using ohlc4 as the price source and resets at its respective session start time. Traders can enable or disable any AVWAP anchor individually, as well as customize line color and width for better visual distinction. The indicator is ideal for identifying volume-weighted equilibrium levels across overlapping global market sessions, particularly useful for short-term mean-reversion, breakout, and institutional order flow strategies.

Volume Surge Detector[SpeculationLab]Volume Surge Detector This tool is especially useful for spotting early signs of breakouts, news-driven spikes, or institutional activity that are often preceded by abnormal surges in volume. For better chart readability, the volume bar colors are based on TradingView’s original Volume indicator, while all other code is fully original by Speculation Lab. You can customize both the SMA line and the volume bar colors to fit your style. The logic compares the current volume against its SMA (default length: 14, fully adjustable). The script comes with two surge levels: Surge Level 1 (default = 5) → When volume is more than 5× the SMA, the bar turns aqua. Surge Level 2 (default = 10) → When volume is more than 10× the SMA, the bar turns yellow. It also includes built-in alerts, so you’ll be notified instantly whenever a surge is detected. This makes it easier to spot potential breakout moves or large market participation in real time. Disclaimer: This script is for educational purposes only. It does not provide financial advice. 这是一个用于探测 成交量爆发 的指标。 为了图表美观，成交量柱的颜色借鉴了 TradingView 原始 Volume 指标，其余代码均为 Speculation Lab 原创。 用户可以自由调整成交量柱和其对应的 SMA 均线的颜色。 指标通过对比成交量和其 SMA（默认长度为14，可自定义长度和颜色）的比例来检测放量。 默认设置了两个放量级别： Surge Level 1（默认=5）：当成交量超过均量的 5 倍时，量柱变为水蓝色。 Surge Level 2（默认=10）：当成交量超过均量的 10 倍时，量柱变为黄色。 脚本还设置了 内置警报功能，方便交易者在出现放量时实时收到通知。

PHL Sweep Signals(1 Hour)PHL Sweep Signals (Full History) This indicator is designed to identify high-probability reversal setups by detecting liquidity sweeps of the previous standard hour's high and low (PHL). It provides clear, actionable signals complete with visual aids and a data table to keep you in tune with the higher-timeframe context. Key Features Previous Hour Levels: Automatically draws the high and low of the previous standard hour as key reference lines for the current trading hour. The line colors rotate to provide a clear visual separation. Bearish Sweep Signal: Identifies a specific bearish pattern: a green (bullish) candle that wicks above the previous hour's high but fails to hold, with its body remaining entirely below the line. Bullish Sweep Signal: Identifies the opposite bullish pattern: a red (bearish) candle that wicks below the previous hour's low but is absorbed, with its body remaining entirely above the line. Clear Visual Signals: When a signal is confirmed, the indicator provides a multi-faceted alert: Plots a "Buy" or "Sell" arrow on the chart. Draws a colored box around the signal candle for easy identification. Displays a label with the potential Stop Loss size (calculated from the size of the signal candle). Informative Display Table: Includes a convenient table in the corner showing the Open and Close data for the last 3 hours, helping you stay aware of the broader market context without leaving your chart. Built-in Alerts: Triggers an alert for every confirmed Buy and Sell signal so you never miss a potential setup. How to Use This indicator helps you spot potential exhaustion and reversals at key hourly levels. A "Sell" signal suggests a failed breakout to the upside, indicating potential weakness and a possible entry for shorts. A "Buy" signal suggests a failed breakdown to the downside, indicating potential strength and a possible entry for longs. As with any tool, these signals are most powerful when used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and combined with your own analysis for confirmation. Optimal Settings: Timeframe: 5-Minute Time Zone: UTC-4 (New York Time) -ratheeshinv

smart money conceprt toolkit🧠 Core Principles of Smart Money Concept 1. Market Structure Higher Highs / Higher Lows in an uptrend. Lower Highs / Lower Lows in a downtrend. Structure shifts help identify trend reversals or continuations. 🔄 Key: Look for breaks of structure (BOS) or market structure shifts (MSS) to spot when smart money may be entering. 2. Liquidity Smart money hunts liquidity before moving price. Buy-side liquidity: Above recent highs (where stop-losses from short traders sit). Sell-side liquidity: Below recent lows (stop-losses from long traders). 💧They create traps to grab these stop-losses, called liquidity grabs or stop hunts. 3. Order Blocks An order block is the last bullish/bearish candle before a sharp move in the opposite direction. Bullish Order Block: Last bearish candle before strong upward move. Bearish Order Block: Last bullish candle before strong downward move. 📦 Smart money often returns to these blocks to fill unfilled orders. 4. Fair Value Gap (FVG) / Imbalance When price moves too fast, it leaves an imbalance (or FVG) between candles. Price often retraces to fill the gap, which smart money uses for entries. 📉 FVG = space between candle wicks that price didn’t trade through. 5. Mitigation Smart money revisits previous zones (like OBs or FVGs) to mitigate risk or close positions. This helps balance their books and is a common reason for retests of OB zones. 6. Liquidity Sweep / Stop Hunt Price may fake a breakout, sweep highs/lows, then reverse. This clears out retail stop-losses and provides entries for smart money. 💡Look for Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) as a sign of liquidity sweep. 7. Entry Techniques Once all confluences align: Look for confirmations like: BOS/MSS Return to OB FVG Strong rejection wicks Internal structure shift (on lower timeframe) 🔎 Real-World Example: Let’s say: Price makes lower lows and lower highs (downtrend). Then price sweeps a previous low (liquidity grab). Then it breaks structure upward. Wait for price to return to bullish order block or FVG. Enter long trade from that zone. This is a typical Smart Money Reversal Model. 🧭 Why Use Smart Money Concept? ✅ Precise entries ✅ Follows market movers ✅ Builds logical narrative of price ✅ Works well with multi-timeframe analysis 🛑 Risk & Misuse Mislabeling OBs or BOS Chasing trades without waiting for confirmation Overusing concepts without context Believing every move is “manipulation”

triumm toolkitt📊 What is Volume Seasonality? Volume seasonality is the tendency for market volume to rise or fall in predictable cycles. It can be driven by: Institutional trading behavior Earnings seasons Economic data releases Holidays and market closures Start/end of financial quarters or fiscal years 📅 Examples of Volume Seasonality 🗓️ Yearly Patterns Time of Year Volume Trend Reason January High "January Effect" – new capital flows in Summer (July-Aug) Low Traders/investors take vacation September-October High Rebalancing, new positions End of December Low Holidays, year-end slowdowns 📆 Monthly/Weekly Patterns Start of month/week: Volume tends to increase as funds rebalance and new capital is allocated. End of month: Often shows rebalancing behavior, especially in large portfolios. 🕒 Intraday Patterns Market Open (first hour): High volume — reaction to news, overnight positioning. Midday: Lower volume — traders take a break. Market Close (last hour): High volume — institutional rebalancing, closing orders. 📈 Why Does It Matter for Traders? Understanding volume seasonality helps you: Avoid false signals during low-volume periods. Anticipate volatility around high-volume times. Time entries/exits when liquidity is more favorable. Combine with price action for better confirmation. 🔧 Tools to Use Volume Profile by Session/Month Seasonality Indicators (custom or available in TradingView) Historical Volume Heatmaps
