2. Swing Point Detection: Simultaneously identifies swing highs and lows using pivot logic.
3. Validation Overlay: When an order block forms on the same candle as a swing point, it creates a special highlighted zone indicating higher probability.
4. Memory Management: Automatically manages box count to prevent performance issues while maintaining historical context.
🎯 Trading Applications
- Trend Continuation: Validated order blocks in trend direction offer high-probability entries
- Reversal Zones: Swing-aligned order blocks at key levels suggest potential reversals
- Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Higher timeframe OBs provide stronger support/resistance
- Zone Trading: Trade bounces from or breaks through validated zones
💡 Usage Tips
1. Prioritize Validated Zones: Focus on lime/fuchsia boxes as they have swing confirmation
2. Timeframe Hierarchy: HTF2 (240m) > HTF1 (60m) > Current TF for zone strength
3. Combine with Price Action: Use zones alongside candlestick patterns and volume
4. Risk Management: Place stops beyond opposite side of order block

HaP RSIComprehensive Guide to HaP RSI Indicator
Introduction
The HaP RSI indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to replicate the logic and structure of the HaP MACD indicator but applied to the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator combines traditional RSI concepts with advanced smoothing techniques, dynamic signal generation, and visual cues to help traders identify potential entry and exit points, trend strength, and momentum shifts.
This document provides an exhaustive explanation of the indicator's logic, its components, and practical strategies for trading with it.
Logic and Structure of HaP RSI
The HaP RSI indicator is built on the foundation of the RSI oscillator, which measures the speed and change of price movements to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator enhances RSI by incorporating the following elements:
RSI Calculation: Uses a customizable length (default 10) and allows selection of smoothing type (EMA or SMA) for flexibility.
Signal Line: A moving average of the RSI (default length 9) that acts as a reference for crossovers and trend confirmation.
DEMA Logic: Double Exponential Moving Average applied to RSI and its signal line to generate dynamic dot signals for entries and exits.
Visual Elements: Midline at 50, Overbought/Oversold levels at 70 and 30, color-coded dots (Blue, Green, Orange, Red) for intuitive interpretation.
Conditions and Signal Generation
The indicator uses a sophisticated set of conditions to determine market states and generate actionable signals:
Buy Condition: Triggered when the DEMA of RSI is above the DEMA of its signal line AND the DEMA signal line is rising. This indicates strengthening bullish momentum.
First Signal Dot: Appears as a Blue dot when the buy condition becomes true for the first time after being false. This marks the start of a potential bullish phase.
Ongoing Signal Dot: Appears as Green if RSI is rising or Orange if RSI is falling while the buy condition remains true. This provides real-time feedback on momentum strength.
Exit Dot: Appears as Red when the buy condition turns false after being true, signaling a potential end to the bullish phase.
Crossovers: RSI crossing above its signal line (bullish) or below (bearish) are calculated but hidden by default, offering additional confirmation if enabled.
Trading Strategies Using HaP RSI
The HaP RSI indicator can be used in multiple ways to enhance trading decisions. Below are detailed strategies and best practices:
1. Entry Strategies
Enter long positions when a Blue dot appears, confirming the start of bullish momentum. Ideally, combine this with RSI above the midline (50) and price action breaking resistance.
Add to positions or scale in when Green dots appear, indicating continued bullish strength.
2. Exit Strategies
Exit or tighten stops when a Red dot appears, signaling weakening momentum.
Consider partial exits on Orange dots if momentum slows but the trend remains intact.
3. Trend Confirmation
Use the midline (50) as a regime filter: RSI above 50 generally favors long trades, while below 50 favors shorts.
Overbought/Oversold levels (70/30) can help identify exhaustion points for reversals or caution zones.
4. Risk Management
Always combine HaP RSI signals with stop-loss placement based on recent swing lows/highs.
Avoid chasing signals in low-volatility environments; confirm with volume or higher timeframe trend.
Advanced Usage and Best Practices
Combine HaP RSI with other indicators like moving averages or price action patterns for confluence.
Use alerts for Blue and Red dots to automate monitoring and reduce missed opportunities.
Backtest the indicator on multiple timeframes (H1 recommended) to optimize settings for your trading style.
Summary
HaP RSI is a powerful tool that blends RSI's simplicity with advanced signal logic, making it suitable for trend-following, momentum trading, and swing strategies. Its visual clarity and dynamic alerts allow traders to act decisively while managing risk effectively.
MRI - Micro Resolution ImagingThe MRI - Micro Resolution Imaging Indicator: A Comprehensive Analysis
What Is In the Script
The MRI (Micro Resolution Imaging) Pine Script is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to perform forensic-level examinations of market data by peering inside the standard price candlesticks. At its core, the script utilizes the advanced request.security_lower_tf function available in Pine Script version 6 to fetch intrabar data—specifically 1-second, 5-second, or 1-minute data—while the user views a higher timeframe chart. This allows the indicator to deconstruct the internal composition of a single bar to calculate metrics that are usually invisible to standard charting tools. The script is structured around several distinct analytical modules that process this micro-data simultaneously. First, it includes a robust Delta Analysis engine that calculates the net difference between buying and selling pressure, tracking cumulative delta, delta at price extremes, and identifying delta reversals. This is paired with an Absorption and Exhaustion module, which hunts for anomalies where high volume fails to move price (absorption) or where price moves on diminishing volume or climatic volume (exhaustion).
Furthermore, the script incorporates a comprehensive Session Management system specifically tuned for the Indian Standard Time (IST) market hours by default, though it remains adjustable. This system segments the trading day into four critical phases: the Opening Drive, the Initial Balance (IB), the Mid-Session, and the Closing Drive. By tracking the specific price action and volume characteristics within these time windows, the script applies Auction Market Theory principles to determine the day's structural bias. The script also features a dynamic VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) calculation that not only plots the session VWAP but analyzes price behavior relative to it, counting reclaims, rejections, and differentiating between initiative and responsive volume flow. Additionally, the script includes a Sweep Detection mechanism that identifies when liquidity has been grabbed below previous lows or above previous highs, differentiating between significant external sweeps and minor internal structure sweeps.
All these disparate data points—delta, volume, structure, time, and volatility—are fed into a central Scoring Algorithm. This algorithm applies user-defined weights to each category (for example, weighting Delta at 25% and Sweeps at 15%) to generate a composite "Confidence Score" ranging from 0 to 100. This score determines the overall market bias (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral) and the strength of that bias. The output is visualized through a complex display system involving a detailed dashboard table fixed to the bottom of the screen, chart overlay signals such as triangles for entry zones, text labels for specific events like "Sweeps" or "Exhaustion," and dynamic lines representing key levels like the Initial Balance High/Low and the Delta Point of Control (POC).
Specialty of the Script
The primary specialty of the MRI script lies in its ability to synthesize "Order Flow" and "Price Action" into a singular, objective metric. Most technical indicators rely solely on the open, high, low, and close of the current timeframe, which often masks the true intent of market participants. For instance, a candle might close green and look bullish on a 5-minute chart, but the MRI script might reveal that the buying occurred entirely at the bottom of the wick and was followed by massive passive selling (absorption) at the top. This capability to visualize the "texture" of the volume is its greatest strength. It specializes in identifying the difference between aggressive participation and passive positioning. By calculating metrics like "Iceberg Detection"—where sustained volume hits a price level without moving it—the script specializes in revealing institutional footprints that retail traders often miss.
Another significant specialty is its temporal awareness. Unlike a Moving Average or RSI which treats every minute of the trading day equally, the MRI script understands that volume and price action mean different things at different times of the day. A breakout during the "Opening Drive" is treated with different logic and weighting than a move during the "Mid-Session" doldrums. This temporal specialty allows the script to align with the natural rhythm of the market auctions, specifically emphasizing the "Closing Drive" as a period of institutional positioning. The script is also specialized for "Trap Trading." By explicitly coding logic for sweeps of previous session highs and lows followed by a recovery, it is fine-tuned to catch "Turtle Soup" style setups where breakout traders are trapped, and the market reverses. This makes it particularly potent for mean-reversion strategies and fading false breakouts, a specialty that is often difficult to program into standard trend-following indicators.
Uniqueness of the Approach
What renders the MRI script unique is its composite scoring methodology. In the fragmented world of trading indicators, traders often have to look at a Delta oscillator, a separate VWAP indicator, a separate session range indicator, and price action patterns individually, trying to mentally synthesize conflicting signals. The MRI script automates this synthesis. It creates a weighted index of bullishness or bearishness that adjusts in real-time. This uniqueness allows for a reduction in cognitive load; instead of asking "Is delta diverging? Is VWAP holding? Did we sweep the low?", the trader can look at the Confidence Score and the "Confirmations" count in the dashboard. The script’s ability to detect "Imbalance Stacking" adds another layer of uniqueness. It tracks consecutive bars of strong buying or selling imbalances, creating a memory of aggressive order flow that persists beyond the current bar, providing a context that standard indicators lack.
The uniqueness also extends to the "Initiative vs. Responsive" volume analysis relative to VWAP. Standard tools simply show volume. The MRI script categorizes volume based on where it occurs relative to value (VWAP). Buying above value is considered "Initiative" (continuation), while buying below value is considered "Responsive" (bargain hunting). This nuance, derived from Market Profile theory but applied via algorithmic code to intrabar data, provides a unique lens on market psychology that is rarely found in public Pine Scripts. Furthermore, the visualization of the "Delta Point of Control" (δPOC) as a dynamic line on the chart is a unique feature. It highlights the specific price level within the recent range where the most aggressive buying or selling took place, serving as a magnet or support/resistance level that traditional volume-at-price indicators might obscure if they are not configured correctly.
How to Use the Script
To utilize the MRI script effectively, a trader must first apply it to a chart with a timeframe higher than the intrabar timeframe setting. For example, if the script is set to analyze 1-second or 5-second data, the chart should be set to a 5-minute or 15-minute timeframe. This ensures the script has a container (the chart bar) within which to analyze the micro-data. Upon loading, the user should configure the Session Settings to match their specific exchange's opening and closing times, as the default is set to Indian Standard Time (IST). The "Opening Drive" and "Initial Balance" durations should be adjusted to reflect the volatility characteristics of the specific asset being traded. Once configured, the primary interface for usage is the Dashboard located at the bottom center of the screen.
The user should observe the "MRI BIAS" cell in the dashboard, which provides the headline signal (e.g., "BULLISH 72%"). This serves as the primary filter. If the bias is Bullish, the trader should primarily look for long setups. The user should then scan the dashboard rows for corroborating data. For instance, if the bias is Bullish, the user should check if "Delta" is positive, if "Sweeps" shows a checkmark next to "Low," and if price is "Above" VWAP. On the chart itself, the user should look for the colored triangular labels. A green triangle pointing up indicates a bullish signal generated by the algorithm. However, these signals should not be followed blindly. The user must verify the signal against the "Levels" drawn on the chart. An ideal usage involves waiting for price to interact with a key level—such as the dotted line of the Previous Session Low or the dashed line of the IB Low—and then looking for a confirmation signal from the MRI script in the form of a label or a high confidence score.
Interpretations of the Data
Interpreting the MRI data requires understanding the narrative the script is constructing. When the "Absorption" metric in the dashboard highlights high "Bid Absorption" (sellers trying to push down but failing) while the price is at a support level, this should be interpreted as institutional accumulation. It implies that a large limit order is soaking up the selling pressure, often a precursor to a reversal. Conversely, if "Iceberg Detections" are high and the Confidence Score is dropping while price is rising, this should be interpreted as a distribution phase where a major player is hiding their selling inside the upward momentum, signaling a potential top. The "Delta" interpretation goes beyond simple green or red. If the price makes a new high but the "Delta" metric on the dashboard or the cumulative delta plot shows a lower high, this is a "Delta Divergence." It suggests the move is driven by weak retail participation rather than aggressive institutional buying, interpreting the breakout as likely to fail.
The "Sweeps" data interpretation is critical for identifying stop runs. If the dashboard shows "Low Sweeps: 1" and the chart shows a "SWEEP" label at the bottom of a wick, it indicates that the market dipped below a significant structural low to trigger stop-loss orders and attract breakout sellers, only to reverse. This is interpreted as a "Liquidity Grab" and is a strong bullish factor. The "Time Segment" interpretation involves comparing the Opening Drive to the Closing Drive. If the Opening Drive was bullish (Green) and the Closing Drive is also bullish (Green), it interprets the day as having strong, sustained conviction. However, if the Opening Drive was Bullish but the Closing Drive is Bearish, it indicates intra-day rejection and a failure to hold gains, suggesting weakness carrying over into the next session. The VWAP interpretation focuses on "Reclaims." If the counter for "Reclaims" in the dashboard increases, it means price fell below the average but buyers aggressively bid it back up above value, interpreting the average price as a floor of support.
How to Use for Trading
Integrating the MRI script into a live trading strategy involves a process of filtering and execution based on the composite score. A robust trading strategy using this script begins with defining the bias. A trader might decide only to take long trades when the MRI Confidence Score is above 60% and short trades only when it is below 40%. In a trend-following strategy, the trader would look for the "Opening Drive" to establish a direction. If the opening drive bias is Bullish and price breaks above the "IB High" (indicated by the dashed yellow line), the trader enters a long position. The stop loss would be placed below the VWAP line. The trade is held as long as the dashboard indicates "Strong" or "Moderate" bullish strength, and the trader would exit if the bias flips to Neutral or if an "Exhaustion" signal appears at the highs.
For a reversal or counter-trend strategy, the trader focuses entirely on the "Sweep" and "Absorption" metrics. The setup begins when price approaches a "Previous Session Low" (dotted line). The trader waits for price to dip below this line. They do not enter yet. They watch the MRI dashboard for a "Bid Absorption" spike or a "Bullish Divergence" in Delta. Once the candle closes back above the level and the MRI generates a green triangle signal or a "SWEEP" label, the trader enters long. This "Trap and Reverse" strategy uses the MRI’s micro-analysis to confirm that the breakout was false. The target for this trade would be the opposing end of the range, such as the VWAP or the IB High. Finally, the script can be used for risk management. If a trader is in a long position, but the "Iceberg Detection" starts flashing on the ask side and the "Initiative" volume turns negative, the trader uses this early warning to tighten stop losses or take partial profits before the reversal becomes visible on the price chart. The MRI script essentially serves as the trader's copilot, validating the health of the trend or signaling the imminent danger of a reversal through its multi-dimensional scoring system.

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

[PickMyTrade] Trend strategy for LongThis strategy detects descending trend resistance using pivot-based trendlines and enters long positions when price confirms a breakout above a validated trendline. It is designed to capture bullish trend reversals with strict risk control and flexible exit management.
The system focuses on structural market behavior rather than indicators, making it suitable for traders who prefer price-action-based decision making.
USAGE
This strategy automatically builds trendlines from confirmed pivot highs. A trendline is considered valid only when price has interacted with it a user-defined number of times, ensuring that trades are taken only from well-formed market structures.
A trade is triggered when price closes above a validated descending trendline while optional session and position limits are respected.
All risk and position sizing are calculated automatically based on the selected risk amount and stop-loss distance.
HOW IT WORKS
The strategy identifies swing highs using pivot logic and connects them into descending trendlines. Each trendline must meet a minimum number of touch confirmations before becoming eligible for trading.
When price closes above a valid trendline, the strategy calculates:
Stop-loss placement below the most recent pivot low
Position size based on fixed monetary risk
Profit targets based on the selected exit method
EXIT METHODS
Three exit models are supported:
Risk–Reward Ratio
Uses a fixed multiple of the defined risk distance to set the take-profit level.
Lookback Candle Exit
Exits trades when price shows structural reversal behavior based on recent candles.
Fibonacci Targets
Uses Fibonacci extensions derived from recent swing structure to trail profits dynamically.
An optional trailing stop can also be enabled to protect open profits.
FEATURES
Automatic pivot-based trendline detection
Multi-trendline or single-trendline operation
Dynamic position sizing based on monetary risk
Pivot-based stop-loss placement
Multiple exit methodologies
Optional trailing stop
Optional trading session filter
Fully visualized trendlines, stop levels, and profit targets

Supertrend BUY Only - Optimized for Gold M15 TimeframeOverview
The Supertrend BUY Only - Production Optimized is a high-performance trend-following indicator specifically tuned for XAUUSD (Gold) on the 15-minute timeframe. Unlike standard Supertrend scripts, this version focuses exclusively on bullish cycles to align with long-term upward bias and uses parameters discovered through deep data analysis of over 20,000 bars of historical market data.
Key Features
Data-Optimized Parameters: Defaults are set to ATR Period 7 and Multiplier 2.1, which backtesting has shown to provide a superior balance between sensitivity and noise reduction for Gold.
Production-Ready Alerts: Includes built-in alertcondition triggers for both BUY (Trend Flip) and STOP BUY (Trend Exit), complete with dynamic messages that include price and interval.
Trailing Support Band: Uses a trailing logic that locks in support levels during upward moves, preventing the band from dropping until the trend officially reverses.
Clean Visuals: Focuses on chart clarity by only plotting the support line during active uptrends and utilizing clean shape labels for entries and exits.
How to Use
Entry (BUY): When the Supertrend line flips from Red to Green and a "BUY" label appears. This indicates bullish momentum has overcome recent volatility.
Exit (STOP BUY): When the price closes below the Green support line. The indicator will plot a red "X" and clear the green background.
Setting Alerts: * Click the Alerts icon in TradingView.
Select this indicator under "Condition."
Choose "BUY Signal" for entries and "STOP BUY / EXIT" for managing your trade or taking profit.
Technical Details
The script allows users to toggle between the TradingView (RMA) ATR calculation and the Standard (SMA) method. For production and live trading, the RMA method is recommended as it provides a smoother response to volatility spikes common in the Gold market.

The script captures the high and low of the market during the first 30 minutes of the NY session (09:30–10:00 AM EST). Once this range is set, it tracks the "Expansion Move" - the point distance from the range's boundary to the current session's high or low. It visualizes this through color-coded zones, dynamic labels at the session extremes, and a statistical table that benchmarks today's volatility against the recent past.
What specific questions does this indicator answer?
While most indicators tell you "the range is broken," this indicator answers quantitative questions vital for trade management:
1. "How far has the market stretched relative to the breakout?"
The indicator provides the exact point distance (+/-) from the range high/low. This helps you determine if the move is just beginning or if it has already extended significantly.
2. "Is the current move 'normal' or an outlier?"
By using the Stats Table, you can see if the current 40-point move on NQ is typical or if the average move over the last 10 days is actually 80 points. This prevents you from "fading" a move that still has average room to grow, or taking a "pro-trend" trade when the market is already exhausted.
3. "Where is the session extreme located?"
The inclusion of the dashed High of Day (HOD) and Low of Day (LOD) lines with attached labels tells you exactly where the "Move" calculation is peaking. If the HOD line hasn't moved for two hours, you know the bullish expansion has stalled.
4. "When is the data no longer relevant?"
Because of the 17:00 EST reset logic, the indicator answers the "end of day" question for futures traders. It stops measuring at the settlement/close of the electronic session, ensuring your charts are clean for the overnight (Globex) session or ready for the next morning.
Technical Advantage
Most scripts use a single "point in time" to reset. This script uses a Trading Window logic, which is much more robust. If a bar is missing at exactly 17:00 due to low volume or a data glitch, the indicator won't "break" or keep drawing old lines - it understands the entire window of time it is allowed to exist in.

Volatility Regimes | GainzAlgo📊 OVERVIEW:
=========
This is a comprehensive ATR-based trading system designed for professional
traders who need advanced volatility analysis, precise trade management, and
intelligent market regime detection. The indicator combines multiple proven
volatility concepts into one powerful, customizable tool.
⭐ WHY THIS SYSTEM IS UNIQUE AND WORTHY OF PUBLICATION:
====================================================
This is not simply a collection of ATR-based indicators placed together.
It represents a unified volatility analysis framework where each component
is specifically designed to work in concert with the others, creating a
complete trading workflow that cannot be replicated by using multiple
separate indicators.
🔗 SYNERGISTIC INTEGRATION - How Components Work Together:
🧠 1. CONTEXT-AWARE ANALYSIS
The Volatility Regime Detection acts as the "brain" of the system,
classifying market conditions into 4 distinct phases. Every other
component then adapts its behavior based on this regime classification:
- ATR Bands expand/contract with regime changes
- Stop Loss distances automatically adjust (tighter in compression,
wider in high volatility)
- Take Profit targets scale proportionally to current regime
- Signal sensitivity filters itself based on market phase
📐 2. UNIFIED VOLATILITY FOUNDATION
All calculations share a single ATR baseline calculation, ensuring
internal consistency across the entire system. When ATR changes, every
element updates in perfect synchronization:
- Bands recalculate from the same ATR value
- Risk management levels use the same volatility measurement
- Regime classification and signals reference identical data
🛡️ 3. INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT
The system doesn't just show WHERE to enter - it calculates HOW MUCH
to risk:
- Dynamic Stop Loss adapts to current ATR automatically
- Position Size Calculator uses the dynamic stop to compute exact quantities
- Take Profit levels scale proportionally, maintaining optimal risk:reward
✅ 4. TWO-STAGE SIGNAL CONFIRMATION
The alert system creates a logical progression:
Step 1: Volatility Breakout → Market energy is building
Step 2: Trend Confirmation → Direction confirmed with volatility support
This prevents false breakouts by requiring both volatility AND direction.
🏦 5. PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOW INTEGRATION
The system mirrors how institutional traders analyze markets:
Phase 1: Assess regime → What's the market doing?
Phase 2: Identify setup → Where's the opportunity?
Phase 3: Calculate risk → What's my exposure?
Phase 4: Set targets → Where do I take profit?
Phase 5: Monitor regime → When do conditions change?
❌ WHY NOT USE SEPARATE INDICATORS?
- Separate ATR Bands: Don't know about regime changes, remain static
- Separate Regime Indicator: Doesn't automatically adjust stop/targets
- Separate Position Calculator: Doesn't know your actual ATR-based stop
- Manual Integration: Requires constant mental calculation and cross-referencing
🧮 DETAILED CALCULATION METHODOLOGY:
=================================
📏 ATR (AVERAGE TRUE RANGE) CALCULATION:
- True Range = Maximum of:
1. Current High - Current Low
2. Absolute value of (Current High - Previous Close)
3. Absolute value of (Current Low - Previous Close)
- ATR = Simple Moving Average of True Range over specified period (default: 14)
📊 DYNAMIC ATR BANDS:
- Upper Band = Current Close + (ATR × Band Multiplier)
- Lower Band = Current Close - (ATR × Band Multiplier)
- Band 1: 1.0× ATR (closest support/resistance)
- Band 2: 2.0× ATR (intermediate zone)
- Band 3: 3.0× ATR (extended zone)
🌡️ VOLATILITY REGIME CLASSIFICATION:
Step 1: Calculate ATR Baseline
- Baseline ATR = SMA or EMA of ATR over long period (default: 50 bars)
- This represents "normal" volatility for the instrument
Step 2: Calculate ATR Ratio
- ATR Ratio = Current ATR ÷ Baseline ATR
- Example: If current ATR = 70 and baseline = 50, ratio = 1.40
Step 3: Classify Regime Based on Ratio
- COMPRESSION: Ratio < 0.70 (ATR is 30% below normal)
Market consolidating, volatility contracting, energy building
- EXPANSION: Ratio between 1.15 and 1.40 (ATR is 15-40% above normal)
Volatility breaking out, early phase of directional movement
- HIGH VOLATILITY: Ratio > 1.40 (ATR is 40%+ above normal)
Strong sustained trend with high participation
- EXHAUSTION: ATR declining after high volatility period
Requires: Previous high ratio + declining ATR over X bars (default: 5)
Trend maturity, potential reversal or consolidation approaching
🛑 DYNAMIC STOP LOSS CALCULATION:
- For Long Positions: Stop Loss = Entry Price - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
- For Short Positions: Stop Loss = Entry Price + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
- Default Multiplier: 2.0× ATR
- Adjusts automatically: Wider in high volatility, tighter in compression
🎯 TAKE PROFIT LEVELS:
- TP1 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
- TP2 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
- TP3 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP3 Multiplier)
- Direction (+ or -) depends on trade direction
📦 POSITION SIZE CALCULATION:
Formula: Position Size = Account Risk Amount ÷ Stop Loss Distance
Step-by-step:
1. Risk Amount = Account Size × (Risk Percentage ÷ 100)
2. Stop Distance = |Entry Price - Stop Loss Price|
3. Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ Stop Distance
📈 ATR PERCENTILE RANKING:
- >80% = Extremely high volatility
- 20-80% = Normal volatility range
- <20% = Extremely low volatility
🌀 VOLATILITY CONTRACTION PATTERN:
Detects extended low-volatility periods indicating imminent breakout.
🧭 TREND DETECTION SIGNALS:
Bullish: Price > MA AND Current ATR > ATR MA
Bearish: Price < MA AND Current ATR > ATR MA
⚡ VOLATILITY BREAKOUT SIGNALS:
Triggered when ATR exceeds its moving average by a defined threshold.

Price Action + Mean Reversion ProUnlock the Ultimate Trading Edge: PA+MRPro – The All-in-One Powerhouse for Smart Money Mastery and Mean Reversion Profits!
Imagine having a trading indicator that's not just a tool, but a complete trading ecosystem – one that deciphers the market's hidden smart money moves, pinpoints high-probability supply/demand zones, hunts liquidity pools like a pro, and layers in rock-solid mean reversion strategies to catch reversals at their peak. That's exactly what PA+MRPro (Price Action & Mean Reversion Combo) delivers! Built by trading visionary TheAmericanBastard, this Pine Script v6 masterpiece combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC), Supply/Demand Zones, Liquidity Pools, and Mean Reversion Pro into one overlay indicator that's overlay=true, maxing out labels, lines, and boxes for crystal-clear visuals on your TradingView charts. Whether you're a scalper, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator is your secret weapon to trade with institutional-level precision, spotting entries, exits, and reversals before the crowd even notices. And the best part? It's fully customizable, alert-ready, and designed to stack the odds in your favor for consistent, high-conviction trades. Let's dive deep into why this is the indicator you've been waiting for – and how it can transform your trading game!
1. The Core Engine: Price Action Pro (PAP) – Decode Smart Money Like Never Before
At the heart of PA+MRPro is Price Action Pro, a sophisticated SMC framework that reveals the market's true structure in real-time. Forget guessing games – this bad boy identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) across internal (short-term) and swing (long-term) levels, giving you the inside scoop on trend shifts and continuations. It's like having a radar for institutional manipulation!
Internal Structure (Short-Term Precision): Tracks fast-moving swings with a customizable length (default 5 bars). It plots dotted lines (style, width, and colors fully adjustable – bullish in vibrant green #089981, bearish in fiery red #F23645) to show immediate market bias. Labels like "BOS" or "CHoCH" appear in tiny, small, or normal sizes, alerting you to internal trend changes. Why sell it? This catches micro-reversals early, perfect for day traders scalping quick profits while avoiding fakeouts!
Swing Structure (Long-Term Power): Zooms out with a longer length (default 50 bars) for the big picture. Solid lines connect highs/lows, highlighting major BOS/CHoCH events. Custom colors and styles make it visually stunning – monochrome for clean charts or colored for pop. It's your trend-following ally, signaling when to ride momentum or flip positions.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) – Exploit Market Inefficiencies: Automatically detects bullish (low > high ) or bearish (high < low ) gaps with an auto-threshold (0.5 ATR) or manual tweaks. Boxes extend rightward (up to your chosen multiplier), filled with semi-transparent colors (70% opacity default, bullish green, bearish red). It even alerts on retrace entries when price dips into an FVG aligning with the internal trend – no more missing those golden fill opportunities! Sell point: FVGs are where smart money leaves footprints; this tool turns them into actionable buy/sell zones, boosting your win rate on reversals.
Supply/Demand Zones – The Foundation of Profitable Zones: Using pivot highs/lows (swing length 10 default), it draws supply (red #410000) and demand (green #004242) boxes with POI (Point of Interest) midlines. Boxes extend right until broken, converting to BOS lines on breach. Max zones (20) keep your chart clutter-free, with width factored by ATR (x10 default). Labels like "HH/LL" or zig-zag lines optional for extra context. Why it's a game-changer: These zones capture where institutions accumulate/distribute – enter on touches for low-risk, high-reward setups!
Liquidity Pools (SSL/BSL) – Hunt Stops Like a Shark: Scans for swing highs/lows (length 10, ATR multiplier 0.5) to create "SSL" (sell-side liquidity/highs, red boxes) and "BSL" (buy-side liquidity/lows, green boxes). Boxes sweep on breaches, graying out with "Swept" labels. Max 20 active zones ensure focus. Sell it hard: Liquidity grabs are where retail stops get raided – this detects sweeps in real-time, signaling potential reversals or continuations. Combine with S/D for explosive "S+L" or "D+L" signals!
Visuals & Customization Galore: Toggle everything – show/hide structures, zones, zig-zags, labels. Colors, opacities, line styles (solid/dashed/dotted), and themes (colored or monochrome) let you tailor it to your style. "Present" mode limits to recent bars (100 default) for clean, real-time focus; "Historical" shows the full story. Max bars back (500) ensures deep analysis without lag.
Signals & Alerts – Never Miss a Move: Plotshapes for entries (triangles, diamonds) on S/D touches, liq sweeps, or combos – filtered to avoid overlap. Alerts fire on BOS/CHoCH, FVG entries, S/D entries, liq sweeps, or combined events (e.g., "Supply Zone Entered + Liquidity Swept"). Prioritizes higher-conviction signals – no spam, just profits!
This PAP section alone is worth the price of admission, but wait – it gets even better when fused with the rest!
2. Mean Reversion Pro (MRPro) – Catch Reversals at Extremes with Surgical Accuracy
Layered seamlessly on top is Mean Reversion Pro, turning volatility into opportunity. Using Bollinger Bands and Stochastic RSI, it spots when prices stretch too far from the mean, signaling reversals with high-probability filters. It's the perfect counterbalance to PAP's trend-following, creating a hybrid system that thrives in ranging or trending markets!
Bollinger Bands – Your Volatility Roadmap: Custom length (20), source (close), multiplier (2.0), and MA type (SMA/EMA/etc.). Plots basis (white), upper (red), lower (green) with optional background fill. Signals trigger on band touches when Stoch RSI hits extremes (overbought >80, oversold <20) – plus a volume filter (MA length 20, mult 1.5) to confirm conviction. Sell angle: Bands expand/contract with volatility; this catches "snap-back" moves, ideal for mean-reverting assets like forex or indices.
Stochastic RSI – Overbought/Oversold Mastery: Length 14, smoothing (K=3, D=3). Cross signals filtered: Bullish crosses only below 20, bearish above 80 – ensuring you trade extremes, not middles. High-volume requirement optional for cleaner signals.
Visuals & Signals: Background highlights (green/red for bands, blue/purple for crosses) make extremes pop. Plotshapes ("MRB" for buy, "MRS" for sell, or crosses) with toggles for chart clutter control. Alerts on any signal: "Bullish Reversion: Price ≤ Lower BB + Stoch RSI Oversold" – customizable messages include ticker/interval.
Why sell it? Mean reversion adds a statistical edge, filtering out weak moves and amplifying PAP's setups. It's like having a built-in risk manager!
3. The Super Combo: Where PA Meets MR for Unbeatable Confluence
Here's the magic – Super Combo fuses PAP and MRPro for "★ SUPER BUY/SELL" signals when they align (e.g., demand entry + band reversion). Toggles for alerts/signals prioritize these over individuals, suppressing lesser signals on the same candle. Result? Fewer, but far stronger trades!
Bullish: PA bullish (demand or BSL sweep) + MR bullish (band touch or cross).
Bearish: PA bearish (supply or SSL sweep) + MR bearish.
Sell it: Confluence is king in trading – this reduces false positives, boosting accuracy to elite levels. Alerts like "🚀 Super Bull: Price Action + Mean Reversion" keep you ahead!
Why PA+MRPro is a Must-Have: The Ultimate Selling Points
All-in-One Power: Combines 4 strategies (SMC, S/D, Liquidity, Mean Reversion) – no need for multiple indicators cluttering your chart.
Real-Time & Historical Modes: Adapt to your style, with deep customization (groups for SMC, S/D, Liq, MR, Alerts).

🔶 RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading is risky & most day traders lose money. All content, tools, scripts, articles, & education provided by TheAmericanBastard are purely for informational & educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Quad-EMA Strategy (10/20/30/50)This indicator combines four exponential moving averages (10, 20, 30, 50) into a single, clean framework designed for scalping, short-term trading, and trend participation. Although optimized for long-side trend participation, the EMA structure remains symmetric and usable for short-selling.
While it is highly effective on lower timeframes, it also translates well to the daily chart, especially in well-defined trends.
Core Trend Logic
On the daily timeframe, a trend can be considered healthy as long as price respects the 10 EMA.
As long as candles hold above it, the structure remains intact.
A clean daily close below the 10 EMA is treated as a discipline-based exit signal.
Not because the trend must be over — but because risk begins to increase.
There are exceptions:
After extended multi-day advances, a single pullback day slightly below the 10 EMA can occur.
In those cases, partial profit-taking (“taking chips off the table”) is often a reasonable and pragmatic move.
This is not about perfection — it’s about capital preservation.
Volatility & Pullbacks
In more volatile conditions, price may pull back toward the 20 EMA or even the 30 EMA.
From a strict risk-management perspective, this is typically where the trade should already be closed.
If a trader chooses to remain involved during such phases — especially after a strong push into a local high followed by sideways consolidation — the EMAs will often compress and flatten, forming a “sideways river.”
During this phase:
Price may temporarily dip below the 20 or 30 EMA
This alone is not a guaranteed signal that the trend is over
Context and structure matter
Riding the Wave (with Discipline)
The philosophy here is simple:
Ride the trend — but exit early.
Even after the 10 EMA is breached, price will often:
-Reclaim momentum
-Continue higher without you
That is normal.
Missing continuation is the cost of discipline, not a mistake.
More aggressive traders may tolerate pullbacks to the 20 or 30 EMA — and sometimes that works.This framework, however, follows a “cockroach strategy”:
exit at the first clear sign of stress, not at the last possible moment.
The Final Line in the Sand
The 50 EMA should be viewed as the latest and clearest exit zone.
Below this level:
-Direction becomes uncertain
-The market may form a local top
-Volatility and chop increase
At that point, prediction is pointless — and unnecessary.
The trade should already be closed.
If you find yourself still searching for an exit below the 50 EMA, that is a signal in itself:
risk has taken control of the trade.
Final Note
This indicator does not predict.
It reacts.
How strictly you trade the EMAs is a personal choice — but the structure provides a clear, repeatable framework for trend participation and risk control.
Discipline first.
Profits second.

VWAP Long Entry PROVWAP Long Entry PRO - Instruction Manual
Overview
VWAP Long Entry PRO is a Pine Script v6 indicator designed for day traders following Andrew Aziz's VWAP trading methodology from "How to Day Trade for a Living." The indicator identifies high-probability long entry opportunities when stocks bounce off VWAP with proper trend, volume, and timing confirmation.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator monitors multiple conditions simultaneously and alerts you only when ALL criteria are met for a valid VWAP long entry:
1. ✅ Price is near VWAP (within customizable proximity)
2. ✅ Price crosses above VWAP (bullish candle confirmation)
3. ✅ Uptrend confirmed (EMA 20 > EMA 50)
4. ✅ Volume spike present (volume > 1.5x average)
5. ✅ Within optimal trading hours (default: first 2 hours after market open)

* Action: Skip long entry; consider short setup instead
Scenario 5: False Breakout
* Light red background appears (filters failed)
* Price crossed VWAP but no confirmation
* Action: No entry; indicator correctly filtered out weak signal
Best Practices
1. Pre-Market Preparation
* Run your gappers scanner at 9:00 AM EST
* Identify 3-5 stocks "in play"
* Add VWAP Long Entry PRO to each chart
* Set up alerts for your watchlist

Troubleshooting
Problem: No Signals Appearing
Solutions:
* Check if all filters are enabled (they may be too restrictive)
* Verify stock has sufficient volume and volatility
* Try increasing VWAP proximity from 0.2% to 0.3%
* Disable time filter if trading mid-day
* Check if stock is actually near VWAP on chart
Problem: Too Many Signals
Solutions:
* Decrease VWAP proximity from 0.2% to 0.1%
* Increase volume multiplier from 1.5x to 2.0x
* Enable all filters (trend, volume, time)
* Use 5-minute chart instead of 1-minute
Problem: Filter Status Table Not Visible
Solutions:
* Scroll chart to right (table is in top right corner)
* Check if indicator is loaded (should appear in indicator list on left)
* Refresh chart and re-add indicator
* Close other overlapping indicators
Problem: Alert Not Firing
Solutions:
* Verify alert is set to "Once Per Bar Close" (not "Only Once")
* Check alert hasn't expired
* Ensure correct symbols are selected in alert
* Confirm indicator is applied to chart with alert

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this for short entries?
A: The current version is for long entries only. For shorts, you'd need to reverse the logic (price rejecting VWAP as resistance, downtrend, etc.).
Q: What stocks work best with this indicator?
A: Mid-cap momentum stocks ($1B-$10B market cap), price $10-$100, daily volume > 1M, with a clear catalyst (earnings, news, sector move).
Q: Can I trade this on daily or weekly charts?
A: No. VWAP is an intraday indicator that resets each trading day. Use only on intraday timeframes (1m, 2m, 5m, 15m, 30m).
Q: Should I take every signal?
A: No. Use the indicator as a filter, not a mechanical system. Consider overall market conditions, stock-specific catalysts, and your own price action analysis.
Q: How accurate is this indicator?
A: Accuracy depends on market conditions, stock selection, and your execution. Expect 50-65% win rate with proper 2:1+ risk/reward, similar to Aziz's methodology.

T@BB Fib High Low (Fast / Mid / Slow)TaBB Fib High Low (Fast / Mid / Slow) – Quick Guide
This indicator plots previous High & Low levels from higher timeframes on your chart.
Fast is for intraday context, Mid for swing levels, and Slow for major market structure.
Levels update only when a new higher-timeframe candle starts (no repaint).
Use High/Low lines as strong support and resistance.
Enable Fib to highlight the pullback zone (default 0.5–0.618).
Price reacting inside a Fib zone often signals reversal or continuation.
Best trades occur when Fast and Mid zones overlap (confluence).
Use Slow levels to define risk and avoid over-trading near major zones.
