[Top] LHAMA Consolidation DetectorIntroducing the Low-High Adaptive Moving Average (LHAMA 🦙), a powerful tool designed to help traders visually distinguish between trending and consolidating market phases. Unlike traditional moving averages that can produce false signals in choppy markets, the LHAMA is engineered to flatten out during periods of consolidation and become more responsive when a clear trend emerges.
This indicator's primary function is to act as a "Consolidation Detector." When the LHAMA line goes flat and adopts its "Flat Color," it serves as a clear visual cue that the market is range-bound. Conversely, when the line begins to slope and changes to its Bullish or Bearish color, it signals a potential breakout or the start of a new trend.
How It Works
The LHAMA is a type of adaptive moving average. Its adaptiveness is derived from a unique calculation that measures market "trendiness." It does this by tracking whether new highs or new lows are being made within a specified lookback period.
In a Trending Market: When the price consistently makes new highs or lows, the indicator's responsiveness increases, causing the LHAMA to track the price much more closely and responsively.
In a Consolidating Market: When the price is range-bound and fails to make new highs or lows, the responsiveness decreases significantly. This causes the LHAMA to flatten out and become less sensitive to minor price fluctuations, effectively filtering out market noise.
Key Features
Adaptive Calculation: The core engine of the indicator, which automatically adjusts its smoothing based on trend strength.
Slope-Based Coloring: The line's color dynamically changes based on its slope, providing an at-a-glance view of market conditions: bullish, bearish, or flat.
Multi-Line & Multi-Timeframe (MTF): You can enable up to six fully customizable LHAMA lines. Each line can be configured with its own length, colors, and can even be set to a different timeframe, allowing for comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis on a single chart.
Volatility Clouds: Each LHAMA can display an optional cloud around it. The cloud's width is based on your choice of either the Average True Range (ATR) or Standard Deviation (StdDev), offering a visual representation of volatility.
Volume Weighting: An option to incorporate volume into the adaptive calculation, making the LHAMA even more responsive during high-volume price movements.
How to Use
Identify Consolidation: The primary use case. A flat and consistently colored LHAMA line is a strong indication of a sideways or consolidating market. This can help traders avoid taking trend-following trades in choppy conditions.
Confirm Trends: When the LHAMA begins to slope upwards or downwards and changes to its trend color, it can be used to confirm the direction and strength of a new trend. The steeper the slope, the stronger the momentum, and more solid the directional color.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: Like other moving averages, the LHAMA can act as a dynamic level of support in an uptrend or resistance in a downtrend. The optional cloud can further define these zones.
Multi-MA Ribbon Strategy: By enabling multiple LHAMAs with different lengths (e.g., Fibonacci sequence like 14, 21, 34, 55), you can create a ribbon. The expansion of the ribbon indicates a strong trend, while its contraction signals a weakening trend or consolidation.
Settings Explained
Enable 🦙 Line: A simple checkbox to turn each of the six LHAMA lines on or off.
Length: The lookback period for the LHAMA calculation. Shorter lengths are more responsive, while longer lengths are smoother.
Timeframe: Set a specific timeframe for each LHAMA. Leave blank to use the chart's current timeframe.
Volume Weight: If checked, adds volume weighting to make the LHAMA more responsive to high-volume moves.
Colors (Bullish, Bearish, Flat): Customize the colors for each market state. To only see the line during consolidation, set the Bullish and Bearish colors to 100% transparency. To hide the line during consolidation, set the Flat color to 100% transparency.
Color Sensitivity: This is a crucial setting. Because price scales (tick sizes) vary widely between symbols, this setting allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the slope detection. A lower value requires a steeper slope to trigger a trend color, while a higher value is more sensitive.
Recommended settings are provided in the input tooltip as a starting point:
$5 Tick: 0.25 Sensitivity
$1 Tick: 0.75 Sensitivity
$0.25 Tick: 3 Sensitivity
$0.01 Tick: 50 Sensitivity
$0.005 Tick: 100 Sensitivity
Cloud Settings:
Show Cloud: Toggles the visibility of the volatility cloud around the LHAMA.
Width Based On: Choose between "ATR" or "StdDev" to calculate the cloud's width.
Cloud Length & Width: Set the lookback period and multiplier for the ATR/StdDev calculation to control the size of the cloud.
Multitimeframe
JXMJXRS - T3 Stack Aligner (Smooth)The JXMJXRS - T3 Stack Aligner is a multi-timeframe trend confirmation tool that uses a smoothed moving average known as the T3. The T3 is built using six layers of exponential moving averages to reduce noise and lag while maintaining a smoother appearance than traditional moving averages. This indicator helps identify when multiple timeframes are aligned in the same direction, giving greater clarity on whether a trend is strong and consistent.
The indicator plots a single T3 line on the chart and changes its colour depending on whether all selected timeframes are showing the same trend direction. This trend condition is based on either the slope of the T3 or a price comparison with the T3, depending on which method is selected. When all timeframes agree that the market is trending up, the line turns green. When they all agree that it is trending down, the line turns red. If the timeframes are not in agreement, the line appears grey. This helps traders avoid uncertainty during periods of mixed or unclear trend behaviour.
The settings allow the user to control how the T3 line is calculated and how trend alignment is measured. The T3 Length setting adjusts how long the base smoothing period is, and the Smoothing Factor controls the weight used in the T3 calculation. The Trend Method lets the user choose between detecting trend direction by slope or by comparing price to the T3. Finally, four timeframes can be selected. All four must meet the trend condition for the green or red colour to appear. If even one timeframe is out of sync, the line will remain grey until alignment returns.
This tool is designed for traders who want to stay aligned with the broader trend across multiple timeframes and filter out short-term noise. It does not provide signals but supports trend-following strategies by confirming direction with stronger confluence.
JXMJXRS - Volume ShiftJXMJXRS - Volume Shift is a volume-based indicator designed to detect significant volume spikes that occur directly after periods of price compression. These moments often precede breakouts, traps, or liquidity events—especially in crypto markets. The indicator is optimized for use on low to mid-range timeframes such as 15-minute to 4-hour charts.
The logic is simple and effective: if current volume exceeds a dynamically calculated percentile of recent volume history, and recent price candles have shown a period of reduced movement (low body size), a signal is plotted below the candle. This helps filter out random volume surges and highlights moments that may reflect meaningful market participation.
How it works:
Volume Spike Detection
The indicator compares the current candle’s volume to a historical window. A volume spike is confirmed when the current volume exceeds the specified percentile (e.g., 80th percentile) of volume from the previous N candles.
Candle Body Compression
It calculates the average body size of recent candles (short-term) and compares it to a longer-term body average. If the short-term bodies are smaller by a configurable ratio, the price is considered compressed—suggesting low activity before the spike.
Signal Logic
When both conditions are met on the same candle, the indicator displays a “!” label below the bar. This does not indicate a buy or sell signal, but rather marks a moment worth observing for potential expansion in volatility.
Settings:
Volume Lookback:
The number of previous candles used to evaluate the volume percentile. A higher value makes the spike condition stricter.
Volume Percentile (0–100):
Sets the threshold for abnormal volume. For example, 80 means “current volume must be higher than 80% of the past X candles.”
Short-Term Body Avg:
Number of candles used to measure recent candle body size, representing the current price activity range.
Long-Term Body Avg:
Baseline window to calculate typical body size for comparison.
Compression Ratio:
The short-term body average must be less than this ratio times the long-term average to be considered compressed. Lower values increase the compression requirement.
This tool is designed to enhance market awareness by detecting moments of sudden volume expansion following quiet market conditions. It should be used in assist with your broader trading system or strategy.

LANZ Strategy 5.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 5.0 — Intraday BUY Signals, Dynamic Lot Size per Account, Real-Time Dashboard and Smart Execution
LANZ Strategy 5.0 is a powerful intraday tool designed for traders who need a visual-first, data-backed BUY system, enhanced with risk-aware lot size calculation and a real-time performance dashboard. This indicator intelligently detects strong momentum setups and provides visual and statistical clarity throughout the session.
📌 This is an indicator, not a strategy — It does not place trades automatically but provides precise conditions, alerts, and visual guides to support execution.
🧠 Core Logic & Features
BUY Entry Conditions (Signal Engine)
A BUY signal is triggered when:
The current price is above the EMA200 (trend filter)
The last 3 candles are bullish (candle body close > open)
You are within the defined session window (NY time)
When all conditions are met and you haven’t reached the daily trade limit, a signal appears on the chart and an optional alert is triggered.
Operational Hours Filter (NY Time)
You define:
Start time (e.g., 01:15 NY)
End time (e.g., 16:00 NY)
The system only evaluates and executes signals within this period. If a BUY setup occurs outside the window, it’s ignored. The chart is also highlighted with a transparent teal background to visually show active trading hours.
Lot Size Panel with Per-Account Risk Management
Designed for traders managing multiple accounts or capital sources. You can enable up to 5 accounts, each with:
Its own capital
Its own risk percentage per trade
The system uses the defined SL in pips, plus the instrument’s pip value, to calculate the lot size per account. All values are shown in a dedicated panel at the bottom-right, automatically updating with each new trade.
The emojis (🐣🦊🦁🐲🐳) distinguish each account visually.
Trade Visualization with Customizable Lines
When a signal is triggered:
An Entry Point (EP) line is drawn at the candle’s close.
A Stop Loss (SL) line is placed X pips below the entry.
A Take Profit (TP) line is placed Y pips above the entry.
All three lines are fully customizable in style, color, and thickness. You define how many bars the lines should extend.
Outcome Tracking & Real-Time Dashboard
Each trade outcome is measured:
SL hit = –1.00%
TP hit = +3.00%
Manual close = calculated dynamically based on price at close time
Each result is labeled on the chart near its level, and stored.
The top-right dashboard updates in real time:
✅ Number of trades
📈 Cumulative % gain/loss of the day (color-coded)
Alerts You Can Trust:
You’ll get a Buy Alert when a valid signal is formed
You’ll get a Trade Executed Alert when the visual operation is plotted
You’ll get a SL/TP Hit Alert with price and result
You’ll get a Manual Close Alert if the configured time is reached and the trade is still active
⚙️ Step-by-Step Execution Flow
At every bar, the system checks:
Are we within the session time window?
Is price above EMA?
Are the last 3 candles bullish?
✅ If yes:
A BUY signal is plotted
Entry/SL/TP lines are drawn
Lot sizes are calculated and displayed
Trade is added to the daily count
🕐 At the configured Manual Close time (e.g., 16:00 NY):
If the trade is still open, it's closed
A label is added with the exact result in %
💡 Ideal For:
Intraday traders who operate within fixed time sessions
Traders managing multiple accounts or capital pools
Anyone who wants full visual clarity of every decision point
Traders who appreciate dynamic lot size calculation and clean execution tracking

Info TableOverview
The Info Table V1 is a versatile TradingView indicator tailored for intraday futures traders, particularly those focusing on MESM2 (Micro E-mini S&P 500 futures) on 1-minute charts. It presents essential market insights through two customizable tables: the Main Table for predictive and macro metrics, and the New Metrics Table for momentum and volatility indicators. Designed for high-activity sessions like 9:30 AM–11:00 AM CDT, this tool helps traders assess price alignment, sentiment, and risk in real-time. Metrics update dynamically (except weekly COT data), with optional alerts for key conditions like volatility spikes or momentum shifts.
This indicator builds on foundational concepts like linear regression for predictions and adapts open-source elements for enhanced functionality. Gradient code is adapted from TradingView's Color Library. QQE logic is adapted from LuxAlgo's QQE Weighted Oscillator, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The script is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
Key Features
Two Customizable Tables: Positioned independently (e.g., top-right for Main, bottom-right for New Metrics) with toggle options to show/hide for a clutter-free chart.
Gradient Coloring: User-defined high/low colors (default green/red) for quick visual interpretation of extremes, such as overbought/oversold or high volatility.
Arrows for Directional Bias: In the New Metrics Table, up (↑) or down (↓) arrows appear in value cells based on metric thresholds (top/bottom 25% of range), indicating bullish/high or bearish/low conditions.
Consensus Highlighting: The New Metrics Table's title cells ("Metric" and "Value") turn green if all arrows are ↑ (strong bullish consensus), red if all are ↓ (strong bearish consensus), or gray otherwise.
Predicted Price Plot: Optional line (default blue) overlaying the ML-predicted price for visual comparison with actual price action.
Alerts: Notifications for high/low Frahm Volatility (≥8 or ≤3) and QQE Bias crosses (bullish/bearish momentum shifts).
Main Table Metrics
This table focuses on predictive, positional, and macro insights:
ML-Predicted Price: A linear regression forecast using normalized price, volume, and RSI over a customizable lookback (default 500 bars). Gradient scales from low (red) to high (green) relative to the current price ± threshold (default 100 points).
Deviation %: Percentage difference between current price and predicted price. Gradient highlights extremes (±0.5% default threshold), signaling potential overextensions.
VWAP Deviation %: Percentage difference from Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Gradient indicates if price is above (green) or below (red) fair value (±0.5% default).
FRED UNRATE % Change: Percentage change in U.S. unemployment rate (via FRED data). Cell turns red for increases (economic weakness), green for decreases (strength), gray if zero or disabled.
Open Interest: Total open MESM2 futures contracts. Gradient scales from low (red) to high (green) up to a hardcoded 300,000 threshold, reflecting market participation.
COT Commercial Long/Short: Weekly Commitment of Traders data for commercial positions. Long cell green if longs > shorts (bullish institutional sentiment); Short cell red if shorts > longs (bearish); gray otherwise.
New Metrics Table Metrics
This table emphasizes technical momentum and volatility, with arrows for quick bias assessment:
QQE Bias: Smoothed RSI vs. trailing stop (default length 14, factor 4.236, smooth 5). Green for bullish (RSI > stop, ↑ arrow), red for bearish (RSI < stop, ↓ arrow), gray for neutral.
RSI: Relative Strength Index (default period 14). Gradient from oversold (red, <30 + threshold offset, ↓ arrow if ≤40) to overbought (green, >70 - offset, ↑ arrow if ≥60).
ATR Volatility: Score (1–20) based on Average True Range (default period 14, lookback 50). High scores (green, ↑ if ≥15) signal swings; low (red, ↓ if ≤5) indicate calm.
ADX Trend: Average Directional Index (default period 14). Gradient from weak (red, ↓ if ≤0.25×25 threshold) to strong trends (green, ↑ if ≥0.75×25).
Volume Momentum: Score (1–20) comparing current to historical volume (lookback 50). High (green, ↑ if ≥15) suggests pressure; low (red, ↓ if ≤5) implies weakness.
Frahm Volatility: Score (1–20) from true range over a window (default 24 hours, multiplier 9). Dynamic gradient (green/red/yellow); ↑ if ≥7.5, ↓ if ≤2.5.
Frahm Avg Candle (Ticks): Average candle size in ticks over the window. Blue gradient (or dynamic green/red/yellow); ↑ if ≥0.75 percentile, ↓ if ≤0.25.
Arrows trigger on metric-specific logic (e.g., RSI ≥60 for ↑), providing directional cues without strict color ties.
Customization Options
Adapt the indicator to your strategy:
ML Inputs: Lookback (10–5000 bars) and RSI period (2+) for prediction sensitivity—shorter for volatility, longer for trends.
Timeframes: Individual per metric (e.g., 1H for QQE Bias to match higher frames; blank for chart timeframe).
Thresholds: Adjust gradients and arrows (e.g., Deviation 0.1–5%, ADX 0–100, RSI overbought/oversold).
QQE Settings: Length, factor, and smooth for fine-tuned momentum.
Data Toggles: Enable/disable FRED, Open Interest, COT for focus (e.g., disable macro for pure intraday).
Frahm Options: Window hours (1+), scale multiplier (1–10), dynamic colors for avg candle.
Plot/Table: Line color, positions, gradients, and visibility.
Ideal Use Case
Perfect for MESM2 scalpers and trend traders. Use the Main Table for entry confirmation via predicted deviations and institutional positioning. Leverage the New Metrics Table arrows for short-term signals—enter bullish on green consensus (all ↑), avoid chop on low volatility. Set alerts to catch shifts without constant monitoring.
Why It's Valuable
Info Table V1 consolidates diverse metrics into actionable visuals, answering critical questions: Is price mispriced? Is momentum aligning? Is volatility manageable? With real-time updates, consensus highlights, and extensive customization, it enhances precision in fast markets, reducing guesswork for confident trades.
Note: Optimized for futures; some metrics (OI, COT) unavailable on non-futures symbols. Test on demo accounts. No financial advice—use at your own risk.
The provided script reuses open-source elements from TradingView's Color Library and LuxAlgo's QQE Weighted Oscillator, as noted in the script comments and description. Credits are appropriately given in both the description and code comments, satisfying the requirement for attribution.
Regarding significant improvements and proportion:
The QQE logic comprises approximately 15 lines of code in a script exceeding 400 lines, representing a small proportion (<5%).
Adaptations include integration with multi-timeframe support via request.security, user-customizable inputs for length, factor, and smooth, and application within a broader table-based indicator for momentum bias display (with color gradients, arrows, and alerts). This extends the original QQE beyond standalone oscillator use, incorporating it as one of seven metrics in the New Metrics Table for confluence analysis (e.g., consensus highlighting when all metrics align). These are functional enhancements, not mere stylistic or variable changes.
The Color Library usage is via official import (import TradingView/Color/1 as Color), leveraging built-in gradient functions without copying code, and applied to enhance visual interpretation across multiple metrics.
The script complies with the rules: reused code is minimal, significantly improved through integration and expansion, and properly credited. It qualifies for open-source publication under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, as stated.
Multi-Equity Performance TableThis indicator tracks 5 equities/stocks/crytpo across multiple timeframes: 24h, 1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y. You can use AI to modify the code to track more equities but then you will need to use less timeframes. I used Claude.ai to configure this code.
Multi Ranges Volume Distribution [LuxAlgo]The Multi Ranges Volume Distribution tool allows traders to see the volume distribution by price for three different timeframes simultaneously. Each distribution can report the total amount of accumulated volume or the accumulated buy/sell volume separately.
Levels are displayed at the top and bottom of each timeframe's range, as well as the POC or level with the most volume.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays daily, weekly, and monthly volume distributions, highlighting the accumulated volume within each row.
Each distribution shows the volume at each price, as well as three lines: the top and bottom prices, and the price at which the most volume was traded.
The reported accumulated volume can be useful for highlighting which price areas are of the most interest to traders, with the specific timeframe specifying whether this interest is long-term or short-term.
🔹 Timeframes & Rows
Traders can adjust the timeframe and the number of rows for each volume distribution.
This is useful for multi-timeframe analysis of volume at the same price levels, or for obtaining detailed data within the same timeframe.
The chart above shows three volume distributions with the same monthly timeframe but a different number of rows; each is more detailed than the previous one.
🔹 Total vs Buy & Sell Volume
Traders can choose to display either the total volume or the buy and sell volumes.
As we can see on the above chart, the background of each row uses a gradient that is a function of the delta between the buy and sell volumes.
This is useful to determine which areas attract buyers and sellers.
🔶 SETTINGS
Volume Display: Select between total volume and buy and sell volume.
Distance between each box: Adjust the spacing of the volume distributions.
Period A: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period B: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period C: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.

VWAP with Prev. Session BandsVWAP with Prev. Session Bands is an advanced indicator based on TradingView’s original VWAP. It adds configurable standard deviation or percentage-based bands, both for the current and previous session. You can anchor the VWAP to various timeframes or events (like Sessions, Weeks, Months, Earnings, etc.) and selectively show up to three bands.
The unique feature of this script is the ability to display the VWAP and bands from the previous session, helping traders visualize mean reversion levels or historical volatility ranges.
Built on top of the official TradingView VWAP implementation, this version provides enhanced flexibility and visual clarity for intraday and swing traders alike.
Reversal IndicatorWhat does this indicator do?
This indicator is designed to help traders spot potential reversal points in the market by combining multiple conditions:
✅ Multi-Timeframe RSI – Checks RSI on a lower timeframe (like 5m) to see if the market is oversold or overbought.
✅ Higher Timeframe SMA Filter – Uses a higher timeframe SMA (like 1h) as a trend filter, so signals only trigger in the direction of the bigger trend.
✅ Candle Pattern Confirmation – Looks for bullish or bearish engulfing candles to confirm price exhaustion before signaling a reversal.
When all these conditions align, the indicator plots a triangle under/above the candle to highlight a possible reversal.
Why is this useful?
Many traders struggle with false RSI signals or candle patterns that fail because they don’t respect the larger trend.
This indicator filters out weak setups by requiring alignment between:
A lower timeframe RSI oversold/overbought condition,
A higher timeframe trend filter (SMA),
And a strong candle reversal pattern.
This multi-layer approach helps avoid chasing every RSI dip and focuses only on high-probability reversal zones.
How does it work?
Bullish reversal signal → appears when RSI on the lower TF is oversold, price is still above the higher TF SMA (trend still intact), AND a bullish engulfing candle forms.
Bearish reversal signal → appears when RSI on the lower TF is overbought, price is below the higher TF SMA, AND a bearish engulfing candle forms.
When all conditions match, the indicator plots a triangle under the candle for bullish signals and above the candle for bearish signals.
How to use it?
Choose your timeframes:
A timeframe for trend filtering (e.g. 1h).
A timeframe for RSI (e.g. 4h).
NOTICE: THE RSI TIMEFRAME SHOULD BE GREATER THEN THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE SMA
Otherwise it will not generate that much signals.
Watch for signals ONLY in the direction of the higher trend.
Use the signals as potential reversal points, not as guaranteed entries. Combine with your own confluence.
Optionally set alerts for bullish or bearish reversal conditions so you never miss a setup.
Customization
✅ Choose your RSI length & overbought/oversold levels.
✅ Select which timeframes you want for SMA & RSI.
✅ Toggle the higher TF SMA display on/off.
✅ Adjust signal appearance (triangles).
Important Notes
⚠️ This is not a standalone trading system. It’s a tool to help spot possible reversal areas. Always confirm with price action, support/resistance, or your own strategy

Fair Value Gap MTF [by Oberlunar]Fair Value Gap MTF is a multi-timeframe indicator designed to detect and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across up to five customizable timeframes. Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies—zones where the market moved too quickly, leaving unfilled areas between candles. These gaps are often used by traders as reference points for future price retracements, as they tend to be revisited or “mitigated” over time.
This indicator extends the traditional FVG concept by introducing dynamic multi-timeframe tracking. Each timeframe has its own visual layer, with distinct user-defined colors for bullish and bearish gaps. The script not only highlights newly formed FVGs but also updates them visually when they are touched by price. Mitigated FVGs are recolored in real time, and an optional setting allows the size of these zones to shrink progressively, reflecting only the remaining untested portion.
Labels at the center of each box display the originating timeframe, offering clear visual context. All calculations are properly aligned with the display chart, ensuring that each FVG is correctly projected into the current view, regardless of its timeframe of origin.
Fair Value Gaps often act as support or resistance levels. Bullish FVGs can serve as areas where price may find support, while bearish FVGs can signal potential resistance. When these zones are mitigated repeatedly, it typically reflects areas of institutional interest, liquidity pools, or zones of accumulation and distribution. Such behavior makes them particularly significant in breakout and reversal strategies.

Supply/Demand Market Structure (SMA Multi-Timeframe)Supply/Demand Based Market Structure
Structure + Order Blocks from Synthetic SMA Candles
Overview:
The SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure indicator combines market structure analysis with supply/demand logic, powered by SMA-based synthetic candles . Instead of relying on raw candle data, this tool generates smoothed higher-timeframe candles using simple moving averages to identify more stable zones and cleaner structure shifts.
It detects bullish and bearish breaks of structure (BoS) , highlights swing points like HH, HL, LH, LL , and plots institutional-style supply and demand zones formed from aggressive rallies or drops. The result is a precise and noise-filtered view of market intent, perfect for trend-following or smart money strategies.
How It Works:
- Synthetic candles are created using SMA of OHLC values on your selected timeframe (HTF).
- A bullish break occurs when price closes above the high of the last bearish synthetic candle.
- A bearish break occurs when price closes below the low of the last bullish synthetic candle.
- Upon break confirmation:
- A demand zone is drawn using the last bearish candle.
- A supply zone is drawn using the last bullish candle.
- Each zone is extended forward for a user-defined number of bars and optionally deleted upon mitigation.
- Zigzag-based internal structure connects valid swing points and classifies them as HH, HL, LH, LL , including Liquidity Sweeps (LS) .
- BoS levels are highlighted with lines that automatically reset when new structure forms.
Key Features:
- Synthetic SMA Candles : Smooth and reliable structure from average-based HTF candles
- Break Modes : Choose between raw HTF closes or SMA closes for break logic
- Custom Timeframe Selection : Analyze structure across any HTF you choose
- Dynamic Supply/Demand Zones : Auto-plot boxes from valid rallies/drops
- Mitigation Detection : Optionally fade or delete zones when price trades through
- Zigzag Structure Mapping : Automatically connect structural highs/lows
- BoS Detection : Real-time breakout of swing points with visual confirmation
- Smart Labels : Marks HH, HL, LH, LL, and LS directly on the chart
- Multi-timeframe Alert System : Notify for all structural changes, BoS, and new zones
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF and SMA Length for synthetic candle smoothing.
- Use SMA=1 for raw candles
- Select a Break Mode :
- Raw Close : Uses standard HTF close values
- SMA Close : Uses smoothed closes from SMA
- Watch for bullish or bearish breaks — zones are plotted when price confirms breakout structure.
- Use demand zones as long entry areas and supply zones as short setups on retests.
- Rely on internal shifts and zigzag swings to monitor structure continuity.
- Enable alerts for swing formations, BoS, and liquidity sweeps to trade hands-free.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart Money & ICT Models : Use synthetic demand/supply + BoS for mitigation or continuation plays
- Swing Trading : Align with higher timeframe structure and use zones for entry triggers
- Trend Trading : Confirm structure alignment and wait for pullbacks into zones
- Reversal Entries : Trade structure breaks when zones fail and a BoS confirms the shift
Customization Options:
- Timeframe input for custom HTF control
- SMA Length to adjust candle smoothing
- Zone Style : Control zone color, transparency, and duration
- Structure Display : Toggle swing labels and zigzag visuals
- Alert Mode : Choose between LTF, MTF, or HTF alerts
Summary:
SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure provides a clean, flexible view of price structure and institutional intent by fusing market structure with SMA-based synthetic candles. It’s ideal for anyone seeking reduced noise, visually guided entries, and rule-based trading based on structural shifts and real-time demand/supply dynamics.
Rally/Drop Market Structure (Multi-Timeframe)Rally/Drop Market Structure
Supply and Demand Zones from Bullish/Bearish Breaks
Overview:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator is a powerful price action tool that identifies key structural turning points in the market by detecting bullish and bearish breaks . After each confirmed break, it plots either a demand zone (following a bullish break or rally) or a supply zone (following a bearish break or drop). These zones represent institutional footprints — areas where price is likely to react due to imbalance or unfilled orders.
The indicator is based on synthetic higher timeframe (HTF) candles to provide a more stable and smoothed structural map, improving clarity and signal quality over raw candles.
How It Works:
- A bullish break is defined when price makes a higher high and a higher low (or closes above the previous high depending on your selected mode).
- A bearish break is defined when price makes a lower high and a lower low (or closes below the previous low).
- After a bullish break, the indicator plots a demand zone based on the low and high of the most recent bearish candle — representing where demand stepped in.
- After a bearish break, the indicator plots a supply zone from the most recent bullish candle — indicating where supply took control.
- Optional mitigation logic marks zones as mitigated (or deletes them) once price trades into the opposing side.
- Internal shift detection highlights swing highs and lows , labels structural points (HH, HL, LH, LL), and identifies potential liquidity sweeps .
Features:
- Dynamic plotting of rally-based demand zones and drop-based supply zones
- Toggle to use Highs/Lows or Close-based breaks for structure
- Support for LTF, MTF, and HTF analysis (with selectable timeframe)
- Zone mitigation logic with optional automatic cleanup
- Labeling of key swing points: HH , HL , LH , LL , and LS (Liquidity Sweep)
- Zigzag visualization for structure flow
- Alert-ready for internal shifts, BoS, and zone creation
- Separate styling options for BoS lines, internal shift shapes, and zone colors
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF candle source (e.g., 1H or 4H) depending on your trading style.
- Use Highs/Lows mode for pure price action structure or Close mode for more conservative signals.
- Observe when a bullish break occurs — a demand zone will form where price previously dropped before rallying. Look for long opportunities if price revisits this zone.
- After a bearish break , a supply zone forms where the rally failed — use this to scout short entries on retests.
- Use BoS lines to confirm structure shifts and validate entry triggers or trend direction.
- Monitor mitigated zones for reduced reliability or avoid them completely by enabling automatic deletion.
- Use alerts to stay notified about key changes without watching the chart constantly.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart money or ICT-style trading : identify institutional footprints and mitigation setups
- Reversal trading : catch price rejecting off unmitigated zones after structure break
- Trend continuation : enter in the direction of internal structure after pullbacks into zones
- Liquidity sweep confirmation : filter out false breaks using HH/LL with LS detection
Tips:
- Combine this indicator with a higher timeframe bias tool (e.g., moving average, higher timeframe market structure).
- For scalping, use tighter HTFs and reduce the zone duration.
- For swing trading, use larger HTFs (1H, 4H, Daily) and increase zone persistence.
Summary:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator gives you an actionable framework for understanding price structure, market intent, and supply/demand imbalances. Whether you're looking for precision entries, trend confirmation, or smart money concepts, this tool helps simplify complex price behavior into clean, usable structure and zones.

DriftLine - Pivot Open Zones [SiDec]What is DriftLine?
DriftLine is your visual roadmap for navigating the markets — designed for both day traders and swing traders who want to understand where price truly matters.
It automatically plots the most meaningful price levels on your chart:
dOpen → today’s open
pdOpen → yesterday’s open
bpdOpen → two days ago
wOpen → this week’s open
mOpen → this month’s open
yOpen → this year’s open
These are not just lines — they are the milestones big traders, funds, and algos watch to measure bias, performance, and momentum across timeframes.
DriftLine also layers on:
Fib zones (50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) between today’s and yesterday’s opens — highlighting natural pullback or continuation areas.
Fade bands around monthly and yearly opens — showing where the market may be overextended, exhausted, or ripe for reversal.
Optional % distance labels — letting you instantly see how stretched or compressed price is relative to key opens.
How to Use DriftLine
1️⃣ Daily setups:
Trade with the daily bias (dOpen vs. pdOpen). Use the fib pocket as a pullback zone or continuation platform.
2️⃣ Weekly trends:
Watch wOpen breaks + retests — often the start of powerful multi-day moves.
3️⃣ Monthly & yearly pivots:
Treat mOpen and yOpen as heavyweight macro levels — they shape sentiment and direction.
4️⃣ Fade bands:
Spot reactions at the outer bands around mOpen and yOpen — these zones often mark where trends pause or reverse.
Why Are Daily Opens So Important?
Many traders overlook dOpen (today’s open), pdOpen (yesterday’s open) and bpdOpen (before previous daily open) — but they’re the heartbeat of intraday trading.
Here’s why they matter:
🔷 Above dOpen → bullish bias.
The market is paying more than it opened — intraday momentum leans long.
🔷 Below dOpen → bearish bias.
We’re under today’s open — cautious, risk-off, or short setups.
🔷 pdOpen/bpdOpen as magnet & target.
Even in strong trends, price often revisits yesterday’s open. It can act as support, resistance, or a key flip level.
🔷 The Fib pocket between dOpen and pdOpen.
The 50–78.6% zone is a dynamic battleground. Watch for price to bounce, reverse, or break through here.
In short:
dOpen and pdOpen are your intraday compass, showing you whether you’re trading with or against the day’s flow.
Why Are Monthly Opens So Powerful?
The monthly open (mOpen) is a macro anchor for institutional traders.
It answers:
✅ Are we green or red for the month?
✅ Are big funds defending long exposure, or trimming risk?
🔷 Above mOpen = bullish tone, momentum follows.
🔷 Below mOpen = caution, risk-off, defensive market.
You’ll often see sharp reactions at mOpen — even when lower timeframes look messy.
Aligning your intraday or swing trades with the monthly bias improves your edge dramatically.
Why Is the Yearly Open (yOpen) Critical?
The yearly open (yOpen) is the king of all opens — the most powerful macro line on the chart.
Big funds, asset managers, and long-term traders benchmark everything against yOpen:
🔷 Above yOpen → bullish year tone.
Funds are green on the year; dips are often bought aggressively.
🔷 Below yOpen → bearish year tone.
Caution dominates; rallies tend to be sold or fade.
🔷 Sharp reactions at yOpen.
Expect explosive moves or violent rejections when price approaches this level — it’s where macro players act.
And when price hits the fade bands around yOpen?
It's a prime territory for reversals or profit-taking.

JXMJXRS - Wick Rejection ZonesWick Rejection Zones indicator is designed to identify key price levels where strong rejections occur, typically marked by long wicks and small candle bodies. These zones often signal areas of supply and demand where price was forcefully rejected, making them useful for anticipating potential support or resistance.
The script detects bullish rejection zones when a candle shows a long lower wick, a small body near the top of the candle, and a close above the open. Conversely, bearish rejection zones are identified by long upper wicks, small bodies near the candle low, and a close below the open. This stricter version only highlights the most decisive rejections by enforcing wick dominance and body positioning filters.
When these conditions are met, the indicator draws a colored zone above or below the candle wick to visually represent the rejection area. These zones persist on the chart for a fixed number of bars, allowing traders to reference them for potential reaction levels.
Settings:
Zone Duration (Bars) allows you to control how long each rejection zone remains visible on the chart. A higher number keeps zones active for more bars, while a lower number removes them sooner.
Zone Transparency adjusts the visual opacity of the rejection zones. A lower value makes the zone more visible, while a higher value makes it more transparent.
Bullish Zone Color and Bearish Zone Color let you customize the colors used for bullish and bearish rejection zones, respectively.
This tool is particularly effective in volatile crypto markets where wicks often mark sharp reversals or failed breakout attempts. It can be used as a reference for entries, exits, or stop-loss placement depending on market context.

Premium/Discount with Candle Open stats [Herman]Premium/Discount with Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders identify and analyze premium/discount zones on any timeframe while automatically tracking statistics on price behavior relative to these zones. It is especially valuable for traders looking to structure entries, manage targets, and quantify market reactions to prior session ranges.
What it draws on the chart
✅ Range High and Low Lines
For each selected timeframe period (15min, 30min 1H, 4H, Daily), the indicator plots the high and low of the completed previous period.
These lines are color-coded dynamically based on sweep detection:
If the high was swept (price broke the previous high), the high line is marked as Premium.
If the low was swept, the low line is marked as Discount.
If both were swept or neither, it uses the default color settings.
✅ Midline
An optional midline at the 50% level of the previous period’s high-low range.
Helpful for mean-reversion traders or anyone watching for retests of equilibrium.
✅ Quartile Lines (25%–75%)
Optional additional lines at 25% and 75% of the previous range, helping traders visualize inner range subdivisions.
✅ Open Price Line
Marks the open price of the previous period as a horizontal reference.
✅ Background Fills
The region between low and midline is shaded with the Discount color.
The region between high and midline is shaded with the Premium color.
These optional fills help highlight the premium and discount zones visually.
✅ Current Incomplete Period Lines (optional)
You can choose to display provisional high, low, midline, quartiles, and open for the current forming period.
These update in real-time until the period closes.
Sweep Detection Logic
The indicator automatically tracks if the current period price sweeps above the previous period’s high or below the low.
A "sweep" is simply defined as price exceeding the previous high/low while tracking is active.
The sweep status affects the colors of the premium/discount lines, helping traders see potential liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
What it counts and tracks (Statistics)
The script automatically compiles statistics over time:
✅ Total Touches
Counts how many times the price in a new period touches either the previous period’s high or low.
A “touch” is registered once per side per period.
✅ Midline Returns
Counts how often, after touching the previous high/low, price returns to the previous period’s midline.
Gives you a measure of mean-reversion success.
✅ Open Returns
Similarly, tracks how often price returns to the previous period’s open after touching the previous high/low.
✅ Return Percentages
Displays the percentage of touches that result in a return to midline or open.
These percentages are calculated live on your chart and updated after each period closes.
✅ Stats Table
A customizable on-chart table summarizing all of these stats in real-time.
Helps traders evaluate the effectiveness of range-based trading setups over time.
How it Works (Technical details)
On each new bar, the script checks if a new period (as defined by your timeframe selection) has begun.
When a new period starts, the previous period’s high, low, open, midline, quartiles are recorded and drawn on the chart.
The script then “watches” the current period:
Updates provisional high and low.
Detects sweeps of previous highs/lows.
Tracks if price returns to the previous period’s midline or open after those sweeps.
Increments statistical counters if conditions are met.
Background fills and lines update dynamically based on real-time data.
Intended Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for:
✅ Identifying premium/discount zones for swing or intraday trades.
✅ Spotting liquidity sweeps and possible manipulation zones.
✅ Structuring trades with logical, data-driven target zones (midline, open).
✅ Quantifying the probability of mean-reversion moves after liquidity events.
✅ Developing and backtesting range-based trading models with live stats.
Highly Customizable
Choose any timeframe for defining the premium/discount range.
Toggle visibility of midline, quartiles, open line, current period preview.
Full control over colors, line styles, line widths, and background shading.
Optional real-time statistical table with total counts and return percentages.
Risk Distribution HistogramStatistical risk visualization and analysis tool for any ticker 📊
The Risk Distribution Histogram visualizes the statistical distribution of different risk metrics for any financial instrument. It converts risk data into histograms with quartile-based color coding, so that traders can understand their risk, tail-risks, exposure patterns and make data-driven decisions based on empirical evidence rather than assumptions.
The indicator supports multiple risk calculation methods, each designed for different aspects of market analysis, from general volatility assessment to tail risk analysis.
Risk Measurement Methods
Standard Deviation
Captures raw daily price volatility by measuring the dispersion of price movements. Ideal for understanding overall market conditions and timing volatility-based strategies.
Use case: Options trading and volatility analysis.
Average True Range (ATR)
Measures true range as a percentage of price, accounting for gaps and limit moves. Valuable for position sizing across different price levels.
Use case: Position sizing and stop-loss placement.
The chart above illustrates how ATR statistical distribution can be used by looking at the ATR % of price distribution. For example, 90% of the movements are below 5%.
Downside Deviation
Only considers negative price movements, making it ideal for checking downside risk and capital protection rather than capturing upside volatility.
Use case: Downside protection strategies and stop losses.
Drawdown Analysis
Tracks peak-to-trough declines, providing insight into maximum loss potential during different market conditions.
Use case: Risk management and capital preservation.
The chart above illustrates tale risk for the asset (TQQQ), showing that it is possible to have drawdowns higher than 20%.
Entropy-Based Risk (EVaR)
Uses information theory to quantify market uncertainty. Higher entropy values indicate more unpredictable price action, valuable for detecting regime changes.
Use case: Advanced risk modeling and tail-risk.
VIX Histogram
Incorporates the market's fear index directly into analysis, showing how current volatility expectations compare to historical patterns. The CAPITALCOM:VIX histogram is independent from the ticker on the chart.
Use case: Volatility trading and market timing.
Visual Features
The histogram uses quartile-based color coding that immediately shows where current risk levels stand relative to historical patterns:
Green (Q1): Low Risk (0-25th percentile)
Yellow (Q2): Medium-Low Risk (25-50th percentile)
Orange (Q3): Medium-High Risk (50-75th percentile)
Red (Q4): High Risk (75-100th percentile)
The data table provides detailed statistics, including:
Count Distribution: Historical observations in each bin
PMF: Percentage probability for each risk level
CDF: Cumulative probability up to each level
Current Risk Marker: Shows your current position in the distribution
Trading Applications
When current risk falls into upper quartiles (Q3 or Q4), it signals conditions are riskier than 50-75% of historical observations. This guides position sizing and portfolio adjustments.
Key applications:
Position sizing based on empirical risk distributions
Monitoring risk regime changes over time
Comparing risk patterns across timeframes
Risk distribution analysis improves trade timing by identifying when market conditions favor specific strategies.
Enter positions during low-risk periods (Q1)
Reduce exposure in high-risk periods (Q4)
Use percentile rankings for dynamic stop-loss placement
Time volatility strategies using distribution patterns
