Pops Master Overlay -Soft Cloud + EMA 5/20/200 + EMA 13/48/200 ⚙️ SETUP & PURPOSE This indicator combines everything you and I built into one clean, eye-friendly suite: Soft Cloud Bands for volatility & trend confirmation Bollinger & Keltner “Squeeze” logic for compression signals Two EMA families for short-term vs. momentum trend VWAP toggle for intraday equilibrium reference 🧭 QUICK START Apply to Chart Add the script (overlay=true) — works best on 2-minute to daily timeframes. Choose Theme Default: Graphite Gray (gentle and easy on the eyes) You can switch to Soft Teal or Smoke Blue in settings. Adjust Cloud “Show Cloud Fill” → toggles the soft volatility zone “Cloud Transparency” → 92–96 = softer background “Show Background Tint” → adds a barely visible page hue 🧠 EMA SYSTEMS (Your Two Trading Views) 🔹 Set A – 5 / 20 / 200 EMA Purpose: Fast, reactive, perfect for momentum & scalp entries EMA 5 → micro trend (very short-term speed) EMA 20 → intraday rhythm EMA 200 → master bias line (above = bullish, below = bearish) Usage Tip: When EMA 5 crosses above EMA 20 while price is above the 200, that’s your “early push” confirmation. Reverse for short bias. ➡ Toggle visibility: Settings → EMA Set A → turn each one on/off individually. 🔹 Set B – 13 / 48 / 200 EMA Purpose: Slower, smoother, designed for swing trades & trend filtering EMA 13 → trend guide EMA 48 → intermediate momentum EMA 200 → long-term direction Usage Tip: Look for 13 > 48 > 200 stacking for clean, trending structure. If they’re twisted together, it’s chop — step aside. ➡ Toggle visibility: Settings → EMA Set B → turn each one on/off individually. You can run both sets at once to compare momentum vs. structure. 💥 SQUEEZE ZONE Red dots appear when Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels → low volatility (squeeze forming). Green dots appear when the squeeze releases → breakout conditions. 💡 Combine this with your EMAs: If the squeeze releases while both EMA sets align bullishly, it’s often your best breakout timing. 🧮 VWAP Toggle “Show VWAP (intraday)” to anchor your price bias around session mean value. Price above VWAP = buyers control; below = sellers control. 👁️ RECOMMENDED SETTINGS Setting Recommended Cloud Theme Graphite Gray Cloud Transparency 92–96 Band Lines Transparency 45 EMA Lines Set A for Day Trading, Set B for Swing Squeeze Dots ON for momentum confirmation 🕹️ TIPS FOR TOGGLING EMAs To switch quickly: Open gear ⚙️ → scroll to “EMA Set A” or “EMA Set B.” Turn off the ones you don’t want. You can rename colors in settings to keep them separate (e.g., Green/Gold for A, Lighter Green/Gold for B). Visual layering trick: Run Set A (solid) for live momentum. Run Set B (faint) to see long-term structure behind it. 🌤️ POPS RULE OF THUMB “When both EMA sets line up, the squeeze releases, and price rides above the cloud — that’s not a maybe… that’s a momentum wave.”

ICT Suspension BlocksICT Suspension Block (SB) Indicator The ICT Suspension Block (SB) is a three-candle price action pattern that often act as support or resistance zones. A Suspension Block is a three-candle pattern showing a brief pause in price efficiency before continuation. These zones frequently serve as areas where price may later return, offering traders potential trading opportunities. Pattern Definition A Suspension Block forms when three consecutive candles move in the same direction but leave behind a specific body-to-body imbalance. (a gap between the bodies of consecutive candles). Bullish Suspension Block (+SB): All three candles are bullish (close > open). Candle 1 close < Candle 2 open. Candle 2 close < Candle 3 open. Zone = from Candle 1 close to Candle 3 open. Bearish Suspension Block (-SB): All three candles are bearish (close < open). Candle 1 close > Candle 2 open. Candle 2 close > Candle 3 open. Zone = from Candle 1 close to Candle 3 open. These zones mark areas where price was temporarily imbalanced. Price often “respects” these levels later, either bouncing from them or breaking through them, which can provide valuable trade context. Application Suspension Blocks are used to mark areas where price may later react: A Bullish SB can act as potential support. A Bearish SB can act as potential resistance. The significance of a block depends on market context. Blocks formed during strong, impulsive moves tend to be more meaningful than those in consolidation. How the Indicator Works Identifies bullish and bearish suspension blocks using body gap imbalances. Draws colored zones (green = bullish, red = bearish) directly on the chart. Extends zones forward until they are inversed by price action. Once inversed, zones switch to a neutral color, allowing traders to annotate/extend them manually if desired. Includes Consequent Encroachment (CE) lines (the 50% equilibrium of the block), which many traders use as reaction levels. Features Customizable colors for bullish, bearish, and inversed zones Extend blocks indefinitely forward or limit them to a set number of bars Adjustable maximum number of displayed blocks for performance control Consequent Encroachment (CE) (Middle Point, 50%, Equilibrium) line feature Configurable CE line style, color, and width How to Use It Trend Following: Blocks forming in the direction of trend can act as continuation zones. Reversals: Opposite-direction blocks may signal exhaustion and potential turning points. Liquidity Levels: CE lines (50% of block) often serve as reaction levels for entries, partials, or stop placement. Context is Key: Suspension Blocks should not be used in isolation. Combine them with market structure, liquidity pools, or other confluence factors for best results. Notes This indicator is intended for technical analysis and research. It should always be combined with proper risk management and a complete trading plan. Past market behavior does not guarantee future results.

Breakout Score (0–100)Breakouts are often the trader's best setups. Often seen on the chart as wedges and flags, consolidation before a pop up or down. This script attempts to visualize breakout potential with gradients in the background. I built this to place on my side charts to quickly visualize that a setup was forming. For this indicator, Breakouts have generally been assumed as: Decrease in average volume over N candles Proximity to VWAP Convergence/cross of price to the 9, 20 and 50 EMAs Range compression (formation of flag or consolidation) each of these factors are scored and rated. Multiple signals exponentially increase the gradient. Depending on the score, the chart will display a visual gradient behind the chart. Color, opacity and filtering fully customizable. Enjoy!

bar count plot only for far lookbackPurpose: TradingView limits the number of text/label objects (≈500), which causes traditional bar-count indicators to stop showing numbers when you scroll far back in history. This plots-only version bypasses that limitation entirely, allowing you to view bar numbers anywhere on the chart, even thousands of bars back. How It Works: Displays each bar’s in-day sequence number (1–78 by default) under the candles. Counts restart automatically at the start of each trading day. Uses a dual-channel “digit plot” system (tens + ones) instead of labels—extremely light on performance and unlimited in lookback. The digits are drawn every N bars (default = 3) to keep the view uncluttered. Key Parameters: Show every Nth bar: Controls how often numbers appear (1 = every bar, 3 = every 3 bars, etc.). Notes: Digits are plotted directly via plotshape()—no labels—so they remain visible even 5 000 + bars back. Alignment may vary slightly depending on chart zoom; this version is intended mainly for deep historical review rather than precise near-term alignment.

Channels by TradingConTotoThis indicator plots clear and minimalistic High (H) and Low (L) pivot points only within the selected trading session (e.g., 10:00–12:00). During the active session, the background is shaded for easy visual reference, and pivot labels alternate automatically — meaning no consecutive H or L points appear in a row. This makes it simple to identify real swing changes within a specific session. ⚙️ Features Detects and labels pivots only during the chosen time range. Alternating logic prevents consecutive highs or lows (H → L → H → L). Clean session background highlight for visual clarity. Fully customizable parameters (session time, sensitivity, colors, etc.). Ideal for intraday traders, scalpers, and structure-based strategies. 💡 Suggested Use Perfect for traders who focus on specific market sessions (e.g., New York, London, or custom hours). The alternating pivot logic helps visualize market swings and structural shifts without visual clutter, making it an excellent companion for price action analysis.

Ichimoku PourSamadi Signal [TradingFinder] KijunSen Magic Number🔵 Introduction The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system is one of the most comprehensive market analysis tools ever created. Developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist in the 1930s, its purpose was to allow traders to recognize the balance between price, time, and momentum at a single glance. (In Japanese, Ichimoku literally means “one look.”) At the core of the system lie five key components: Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line), Kijun-sen (Baseline), Chikou Span (Lagging Line), and the two leading spans, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B, which together form the well-known Kumo or cloud representing both temporal structure and equilibrium zones in the market. Although Ichimoku is commonly used to identify trends and support/resistance levels, a deeper layer of time philosophy exists within it. Ichimoku was not designed solely for price analysis but equally for time analysis. In the classical model, the numerical cycles 9, 26, 52 reflect the natural rhythm of the market originally based on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s trading schedule in the 1930s. These values repeat across the system’s calculations, forming the foundation of Ichimoku’s time symmetry where price and time ultimately seek equilibrium. In recent years, modern analysts have explored new approaches to extract time-based turning points from Ichimoku’s structure. One such approach is the analysis of flat segments on the Kijun-sen and Senkou B lines. Whenever one of these lines remains flat for a period, it signals temporary balance between buyers and sellers; when the flat breaks, the market exits equilibrium and a new cycle begins. This indicator is built precisely upon that philosophy. Following the timing methodology introduced by M.A. Poursamadi, the focus shifts away from price signals and line crossovers toward identifying flat periods on Kijun-sen (period 52) as time anchors. From the first candle that changes the line’s slope, the tool begins a temporal count using a fixed sequence of key numbers: 5, 9, 13, 17, 26, 35, 43, 52, 63, 72, 81, 90. Derived from both classical Ichimoku cycles and empirical testing, these numbers mark potential timing nodes where a market wave may end, a correction may begin, or a new leg may form. Thus, this method serves not merely as another Ichimoku tool but as a temporal metronome for market structure a way to visualize moments when the market is ready to change rhythm, often before candles reveal it. 🔵 How to Use The Kijun Timing BoX is built entirely on Ichimoku’s concept of time analysis. Its core idea is that within every flat segment of the Kijun-sen, the market enters a temporary balance between opposing forces. When that flat breaks, a new time cycle begins. From that first breakout candle, the indicator starts counting forward through the predefined time sequence(5, 9, 13, 17, 26, 35, 43, 52, 63, 72, 81, 90). This counting framework creates a temporal map of market behavior, where each number represents an area where meaningful price fluctuations often occur. A “meaningful fluctuation” does not necessarily imply reversal or continuation; rather, it marks a moment when the market’s internal energy balance shifts, typically visible as noticeable reactions on lower timeframes. 🟣 Identifying the Anchor Point The first step is recognizing a valid flat zone on the Kijun-sen. When this line remains flat for several candles and then changes slope, the indicator marks that bar as the Anchor, initiating the time count. From that point onward, vertical gray lines appear at each interval in the key-number sequence, visualizing the time nodes ahead. 🟣 Reading the Timing Lines Each numbered line represents a timing node a temporal point where a change in price rhythm is statistically more likely to occur. At these nodes, the market may : Enter a consolidation or minor correction phase. Develop range-bound movement. Or simply alter the speed and intensity of its move. These behaviors do not imply a specific direction; they only highlight zones where time-based activity tends to cluster, giving traders a clearer view of cyclical rhythm. 🟣 Applying Time Analysis The indicator’s primary use is to observe temporal order, not to predict price direction. By tracking the distance between Anchors and the reactions that appear near major timing lines, traders can empirically identify each market’s characteristic rhythm—its own time DNA. For example, one asset may consistently show significant fluctuations around the 13- and 26-bar marks,while another might react closer to 9 or 52. Recognizing such patterns helps traders understand how long typical cycles last before new phases of volatility emerge. 🟣 Combining with Other Tools The indicator does not generate buy/sell signals on its own. Its best use is in combination with price- or structure-based methods, to see whether meaningful price reactions occur around the same timing nodes. In practice, it helps distinguish structured time-based fluctuations from random, noise-driven moves an insight often overlooked in conventional market analysis. 🔵 Settings 🟣 Logical Settings KijunSen Period : Defines the baseline period used for timing analysis. Default = 52. It is the main line for detecting flats and generating time anchors. Flat Event Filter : Controls how flat segments are validated before triggering a new timing event. All : Every flat triggers a new Timing Box. Automatic : Only flats longer than the historical average are used (recommended). Custom : User manually defines the minimum flat length via Custom Count. Update Timing Analysis BoX Per Event : If enabled, a new Timing Box is drawn each time a new flat event occurs. If disabled, the box completes its 90-bar window before refreshing. 🟣 Ichimoku Settings TenkanSen Period : Defines the period for the Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen). Default = 9. KijunSen Period : Sets the standard Ichimoku baseline (not the timing line). Default = 26. Span B Period : Defines the period for Senkou Span B, the slower cloud boundary. Default = 52. Shift Lines : Offsets cloud projection into the future. Default = 26. 🟣 Display Settings Users can show or hide all Ichimoku lines Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, Chikou Span, Span A, and Span B as well as the Ichimoku Cloud. They can also customize the color of each element to match personal chart preferences and improve visibility. 🔵 Conclusion This analytical approach transforms Ichimoku’s time philosophy into a visual and measurable framework. A flat Kijun-sen represents a moment of market equilibrium; when its slope shifts, a new temporal cycle begins. The purpose is not to forecast price direction but to highlight periods when meaningful fluctuations are more likely to develop. Through this perspective, traders can observe the hidden rhythm of market time and expand their analysis beyond price into a broader time-cycle dimension. Ultimately, the method revives Ichimoku’s original principle: the market can only be truly understood through the simultaneous harmony of price, time, and balance.

Microgaps (plots-only, 4-channel, same-day only)Purpose: This indicator visually highlights 3-bar price gaps on your chart, showing clear visual structure for gap zones without lag or diagonal artifacts. It draws two outer lines (top and bottom of the gap) for every valid 3-bar gap, and optionally a midline when the gap is considered “large.” ⚙️ How it works A bull gap is detected when the current bar’s low is higher than the high from two bars ago (low > high ). A bear gap is detected when the current bar’s high is lower than the low from two bars ago (high < low ). The lines are centered at the middle bar of the 3-bar sequence. Gaps are only drawn within the same trading day to avoid false overnight gaps. To prevent overlapping artifacts, up to four concurrent gap channels can be drawn efficiently using GPU-friendly plot() lines. 🔵 Midline logic The midline (center of the gap) is only displayed when the gap’s vertical size is “large” relative to recent volatility. “Large” means the gap height is greater than a user-defined fraction of the average bar range over the past N bars. Example: if the average 8-bar range = 2 points, and the threshold = 0.3, then only gaps larger than 0.6 points will show the midline. 🧩 Parameters Setting Description Bull Gap Color / Width Style of bullish gaps (top and bottom lines). Bear Gap Color / Width Style of bearish gaps (top and bottom lines). Mid Gap Color / Width Style of the optional midline (shown only when “large”). Large Gap — Lookback (bars) Number of bars used to calculate the average range (default: 8). Large Gap — Size vs Avg Range Fraction of the average range that defines a “large” gap (default: 0.5). Set lower (e.g. 0.3) to show more midlines. 💡 Tips Set threshold lower (0.2–0.4) for more midlines, higher (0.6–1.0) to highlight only extreme gaps. Works best on intraday timeframes (1-min to 30-min). Fully GPU-efficient — can scroll back thousands of bars without lag.
