Trend Following Volatility Trail*Script was previously removed by Moderators at 1.8k boosts* - This was out of my control. This script was very popular and seemed to help a lot of traders. I am re uploading to help the community!
Trend Following Volatility Trail
The Trend Following Volatility Trail is a dynamic trend-following tool that adapts its stop, bias, and zones to real-time volatility and trend strength. Instead of using static ATR multiples like a normal Supertrend or Chandelier Stop, it continuously adjusts itself based on how stretched the market is and how persistent the trend has been. This indicator is based on volatility weighted EMAC
This makes the system far more reactive during momentum phases and more conservative during consolidation, helping avoid fake flips and late entries.
How It Works
The indicator builds an adaptive trail around a smoothed price basis:
– It starts with a short EMA as the “core trend line.”
– It measures volatility expansion versus normal volatility.
– It measures trend persistence by reading whether price has been rising or falling consistently.
– These two components combine to adjust the ATR multiplier dynamically.
As volatility expands or the trend becomes more persistent, the bands widen.
When volatility compresses or the trend weakens, the bands tighten.
These adaptive bands form the foundation of the trailing system.
Bull & Bear State Logic
The tool constantly tracks whether price is above or below the adaptive trail:
Price above the upper trail → Bullish regime
Price below the lower trail → Bearish regime
But instead of flipping immediately, it waits for confirmation bars to avoid noise.
This greatly reduces whipsaws and keeps the focus on sustained moves.
Once a new regime is confirmed:
– A coloured cloud appears (bull or bear)
– A label marks the flip point
– Alerts can be triggered automatically
Best Uses
Identifying regime shifts early
Riding sustained trends with confidence
Avoiding choppy markets by requiring confirmation
Using the adaptive cloud as a directional bias layer

CRT / ORB Signals [Yosiet]What is the CRT Pattern?
The Counter-Retracement Pattern is a classic three-candle setup that reveals moments of market structure weakness and potential reversal. It occurs when a strong move is temporarily rejected, signaling a possible continuation.
Several names for the same candlestick pattern: CRT, ORB, Morning Star, Evening Star, and others, but I'm not going to talk about it.
Here’s the anatomy of a Bullish CRT:
Candle 1 (C1: The Signal Candle): A significant momentum candle in a downtrend.
Candle 2 (C2: The Retracement/Sweep Candle): This is the critical candle. It must sweep the low of C1 (liquidity grab / sweep) but then close with its body inside the range of C1 .
Candle 3 (C3: The Confirmation/Entry Candle): A bullish candle that closes above C2's close, confirming the pattern.
Here’s the anatomy of a Bearish CRT:
The bearish pattern is the exact inverse, sweeping the high of Candle 1.
Why This Indicator?
Clarity and Precision. This script is built for accuracy and minimalism.
No Repainting: The logic is calculated on the closed historical bars. The signal is only plotted on the entry candle (Candle 3) after it has closed.
Clean Visuals: Instead of cluttering every candle, it shows you only what you need:
Green Up Arrow: Signals a confirmed Bullish CRT, suggesting a Long entry.
Red Down Arrow: Signals a confirmed Bearish CRT, suggesting a Short entry.
Faint Circles: Subtle white circles mark the high/low of Candle 1 and Candle 2, helping you visually trace the pattern structure without obstruction.
Percentage Distance from 200-Week SMA200-Week SMA % Distance Oscillator (Clean & Simple)
This lightweight, no-nonsense indicator shows how far the current price is from the classic 200-week Simple Moving Average, expressed as a percentage.
Key features:
• True percentage distance: (Price − 200w SMA) / 200w SMA × 100
• Auto-scaling oscillator (no forced ±100% range → the line actually moves and looks alive)
• Clean zero line
• +10% overbought and −10% oversold levels with subtle background shading
• Real-time table showing the exact current percentage
• Small label on the last bar for instant reading
• Alert conditions when price moves >10% above or below the 200-week SMA
Why 200-week SMA?
Many legendary investors and hedge funds (Stan Druckenmiller, Paul Tudor Jones, etc.) use the 200-week SMA as their ultimate long-term trend anchor. Being +10% or more above it has historically signaled extreme optimism, while −10% or lower has marked deep pessimism and generational buying opportunities.
Perfect for Bitcoin, SPX, gold, individual stocks – works on any timeframe (looks especially good on daily and weekly charts).

Nifty Sector Weightage MatrixSector-weighted view of the Nifty 50 index. This script highlights how much each sector contributes to the index along with real-time sector trend. Essential for index traders looking to understand sector impact, rotations, and leadership.
Distribution Day Grading [Blk0ut]Distribution Day Grading
This script is designed to give traders and investors a fast, objective, and modern read on market health by analyzing distribution days, and stall days, two forms of institutional selling that often begin to appear before trend weakness, failed breakouts, and sharp corrections.
The goal of this script isn’t to predict tops or bottoms, but instead, it measures the character of the tape in a way that’s simple, visual, and immediately actionable.
While distribution analysis has existed for decades, my implementation is, I think, a little more adaptive. Traditional rules for identifying distribution days, coming from CANSLIM methodology, were built for markets which had lower volatility, different liquidity profiles, and slower institutional rotation. This script updates the traditional method with modernized thresholds, recency-weighted decay, stall-day logic, and dynamic presets tuned uniquely for the personality of each major U.S. index (you can change the values yourself as well).
The results are displayed as a compact letter-grade that quantitatively reflects a measure of how much institutional supply has been hitting the market, as well as how recently. This helps determine whether conditions are supportive of breakouts, mean reversion trades, aggressive trend trades, or whether caution and lighter sizing are warranted.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How It Works
The script evaluates each bar for two conditions:
1. Distribution Day
A bar qualifies as distribution when:
- Price closes down beyond a threshold (default 0.30%, adjustable)
- Volume is higher than the prior session (optional toggle)
Distribution days typically represent active institutional selling .
2. Stall Day
A softer form of supply:
-Price remains flat to slightly negative within a small threshold
-Close < open
-Volume higher than prior day
Stall days represent a passive distribution or hidden supply .
Each distribution day is counted as 1 unit by the script, each stall day as 0.5 units.
Recency Weighting
The script applies an optional half-life decay so that fresh distribution matters more than old distribution. This mimics the “aging out” effect that professional traders use, but does it in a smoother, more mathematically consistent way.
The script then produces:
A weighted distribution score
A raw distribution + stall count
A letter grade from A → F
Let's talk about the letters...
_________________________________________________________________________________
Letter Grade Meaning
A — Very Healthy Tape
Minimal institutional selling.
Breakouts behave better, momentum holds, pullbacks are shallow, upside targets are hit more consistently.
B — Healthy / Slight Caution
Some isolated supply but nothing structural.
Conditions remain favorable for trend trades, pullbacks, and breakout continuation.
C — Mixed / Caution Warranted
Distribution is building.
Breakouts begin to fail faster, candles widen, rotation becomes unstable, and risk/reward compresses.
D — Weak / Risk Elevated
Institutional selling is becoming persistent.
Failed breakouts, sharp reversals, and failed rallies become more common. Position sizing should tighten.
F — Clear Deterioration
Broad, repeated institutional distribution.
This is where major tops, deeper pullbacks, and corrections often begin to form underneath the surface.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Index-Tuned Presets (Auto Mode)
Market structure varies dramatically across indices.
To address this, the script includes auto-detect presets for:
SPY / SPX equivalents
QQQ / NASDAQ-100 equivalents
IWM / Russell 2000 equivalents
DIA / Dow 30 equivalents
Each preset contains optimized values based on volatility, liquidity, noise, and institutional behavior:
SPY / SPX
Low noise, deep liquidity → classic thresholds work well.
Distribution thresholds remain conservative.
QQQ
Higher volatility → requires a slightly larger down-percentage filter to avoid false signals.
IWM
Noisiest of the major indices → requires much stricter thresholds to filter out junk signals.
DIA
Slowest-moving index → tighter conditions catch real distribution earlier.
The script automatically detects which symbol family you’re viewing and loads the appropriate preset unless manual overrides are enabled.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How to Interpret This Indicator
Grade A–B:
Breakouts have higher odds of clean continuation
Mean reversion is smoother
Position sizing can be more assertive
Grade C:
Start tightening risk
Focus on A- setups, not B- or C- risk ideas
Grade D–F:
Expect lower win rates
Expect breakout failures
Favor countertrend plays or reduced exposure
Take faster profits
____________________________
This indicator should help traders prevent themselves from fighting the tape or sizing aggressively when the underlying environment is deteriorating through:
- Modernized distribution logic, not the 1990s thresholds
- Recency-weighted decay instead of the old 5-week “aging out”
- Stall-day detection for subtle institutional supply
- Auto-presets tuned per index, adjusting thresholds to match volatility and liquidity
- Unified letter-grade scoring for visual clarity
- Independent application for any trading style, it helps with trend, momentum, mean reversion, and options

Relative Performance Areas [LuxAlgo]The Relative Performance Areas tool enables traders to analyze the relative performance of any asset against a user-selected benchmark directly on the chart, session by session.
The tool features three display modes for rescaled benchmark prices, as well as a statistics panel providing relevant information about overperforming and underperforming streaks.
🔶 USAGE
Usage is straightforward. Each session is highlighted with an area displaying the asset price range. By default, a green background is displayed when the asset outperforms the benchmark for the session. A red background is displayed if the asset underperforms the benchmark.
The benchmark is displayed as a green or red line. An extended price area is displayed when the benchmark exceeds the asset price and is set to SPX by default, but traders can choose any ticker from the settings panel.
Using benchmarks to compare performance is a common practice in trading and investing. Using indexes such as the S&P 500 (SPX) or the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) to measure our portfolio's performance provides a clear indication of whether our returns are above or below the broad market.
As the previous chart shows, if we have a long position in the NASDAQ 100 and buy an ETF like QQQ, we can clearly see how this position performs against BTSUSD and GOLD in each session.
Over the last 15 sessions, the NASDAQ 100 outperformed the BTSUSD in eight sessions and the GOLD in six sessions. Conversely, it underperformed the BTCUSD in seven sessions and the GOLD in nine sessions.
🔹 Display Mode
The display mode options in the Settings panel determine how benchmark performance is calculated. There are three display modes for the benchmark:
Net Returns: Uses the raw net returns of the benchmark from the start of the session.
Rescaled Returns: Uses the benchmark net returns multiplied by the ratio of the benchmark net returns standard deviation to the asset net returns standard deviation.
Standardized Returns: Uses the z-score of the benchmark returns multiplied by the standard deviation of the asset returns.
Comparing net returns between an asset and a benchmark provides traders with a broad view of relative performance and is straightforward.
When traders want a better comparison, they can use rescaled returns. This option scales the benchmark performance using the asset's volatility, providing a fairer comparison.
Standardized returns are the most sophisticated approach. They calculate the z-score of the benchmark returns to determine how many standard deviations they are from the mean. Then, they scale that number using the asset volatility, which is measured by the asset returns standard deviation.
As the chart above shows, different display modes produce different results. All of these methods are useful for making comparisons and accounting for different factors.
🔹 Dashboard
The statistics dashboard is a great addition that allows traders to gain a deep understanding of the relationship between assets and benchmarks.
First, we have raw data on overperforming and underperforming sessions. This shows how many sessions the asset performance at the end of the session was above or below the benchmark.
Next, we have the streaks statistics. We define a streak as two or more consecutive sessions where the asset overperformed or underperformed the benchmark.
Here, we have the number of winning and losing streaks (winning means overperforming and losing means underperforming), the median duration of each streak in sessions, the mode (the number of sessions that occurs most frequently), and the percentages of streaks with durations equal to or greater than three, four, five, and six sessions.
As the image shows, these statistics are useful for traders to better understand the relative behavior of different assets.
🔶 SETTINGS
Benchmark: Benchmark for comparison
Display Mode: Choose how to display the benchmark; Net Returns: Uses the raw net returns of the benchmark. Rescaled Returns: Uses the benchmark net returns multiplied by the ratio of the benchmark and asset standard deviations. Standardized Returns: Uses the benchmark z-score multiplied by the asset standard deviation.

Aspects of Mars-Saturn by BTThis script displays the most commonly used aspects between Mars and Saturn. It uses a +/-2 degree orb (deviation), meaning the script shows the dates when the calculated distance between Mars and Saturn is within a 2 degree deviation of a major aspect.
Most of the astrological applications uses 3 degree or more for orb however this will cause chart overload. So please keep in mind to consider a couple of dates before or after if you want to use bigger orb.
The script includes an option to plot only the start date of sequential aspect events to reduce visual clutter and improve chart clarity. It currently covers dates from 2020 to 2030, but more will be added soon.
Currently available aspects:
Conjunction - 0 Degree
Opposition - 180 Degree
Trine - 120 Degree
Square - 90 Degree
Sextile - 60 Degree
Inconjunction - 150 Degree
Semi-Sextile - 30 Degree
Semi-Square - 45 Degree
Sesquiquadrate - 135 Degree
High Volume Bars (Advanced)High Volume Bars (Advanced)
High Volume Bars (Advanced) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that highlights bars with unusually high volume, with several ways to define “unusual”:
Classic: volume > moving average + N × standard deviation
Change-based: large change in volume vs previous bar
Z-score: statistically extreme volume values
Robust mode (optional): median + MAD, less sensitive to outliers
It can:
Recolor candles when volume is high
Optionally highlight the background
Optionally plot volume bands (center ± spread × multiplier)
⸻
1. How it works
At each bar the script:
Picks the volume source:
If Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar? is off → uses raw volume
If on → uses abs(volume - volume )
Computes baseline statistics over the chosen source:
Lookback bars
Moving average (SMA or EMA)
Standard deviation
Optionally replaces mean/std with robust stats:
Center = median (50th percentile)
Spread = MAD (median absolute deviation, scaled to approx σ)
Builds bands:
upper = center + spread * multiplier
lower = max(center - spread * multiplier, 0)
Flags a bar as “high volume” if:
It passes the mode logic:
Classic abs: volume > upper
Change mode: abs(volume - volume ) > upper
Z-score mode: z-score ≥ multiplier
AND the relative filter (optional): volume > average_volume * Min Volume vs Avg
AND it is past the first Skip First N Bars from the start of the chart
Colors the bar and (optionally) the background accordingly.
⸻
2. Inputs
2.1. Statistics
Lookback (len)
Number of bars used to compute the baseline stats (mean / median, std / MAD).
Typical values: 50–200.
StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier (mult)
How far from the baseline a bar must be to count as “high volume”.
In classic mode: volume > mean + mult × std
In z-score mode: z ≥ mult
Typical values: 1.0–2.5.
Use EMA Instead of SMA? (smooth_with_ema)
Off → uses SMA (slower but smoother).
On → uses EMA (reacts faster to recent changes).
Use Robust Stats (Median & MAD)? (use_robust)
Off → mean + standard deviation
On → median + MAD (less sensitive to a few insane spikes)
Useful for assets with occasional volume blow-ups.
⸻
2.2. Detection Mode
These inputs control how “unusual” is defined.
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar? (mode_change)
• Off (default) → uses absolute volume.
• On → uses abs(volume - volume ).
You then detect jumps in volume rather than absolute size.
Note: This is ignored if Z-Score mode is switched on (see below).
• Use Z-Score on Volume? (Overrides change) (mode_zscore)
• Off → high volume when raw value exceeds the upper band.
• On → computes z-score = (value − center) / spread and flags a bar as high when z ≥ multiplier.
Z-score mode can be combined with robust stats for more stable thresholds.
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter) (min_rel_mult)
An extra filter to ignore tiny-volume bars that are statistically “weird” but not meaningful.
• 0.0 → no filter (all stats-based candidates allowed).
• 1.0 → high-volume bar must also be at least equal to average volume.
• 1.5 → bar must be ≥ 1.5 × average volume.
• Skip First N Bars (from start of chart) (skip_open_bars)
Skips the first N bars of the chart when evaluating high-volume conditions.
This is mostly a safety / cosmetic option to avoid weird behavior on very early bars or backfill.
⸻
2.3. Visuals
• Show Volume Bands? (show_bands)
• If on, plots:
• Upper band (upper)
• Lower band (lower)
• Center line (vol_center)
These are plotted on the same pane as the script (usually the price chart).
• Also Highlight Background? (use_bg)
• If on, fills the background on high-volume bars with High-Vol Background.
• High-Vol Bar Transparency (0–100) (bar_transp)
Controls the opacity of the high-volume bar colors (up / down).
• 0 → fully opaque
• 100 → fully transparent (no visible effect)
• Up Color (upColor) / Down Color (dnColor)
• Regular bar colors (non high-volume) for up and down bars.
• Up High-Vol Base Color (upHighVolBase) / Down High-Vol Base Color (dnHighVolBase)
Base colors used for high-volume up/down bars. Transparency is applied on top of these via bar_transp.
• High-Vol Background (bgHighVolColor)
Background color used when Also Highlight Background? is enabled.
⸻
3. What gets colored and how
• Bar color (barcolor)
• Up bar:
• High volume → Up High-Vol Color
• Normal volume → Up Color
• Down bar:
• High volume → Down High-Vol Color
• Normal volume → Down Color
• Flat bar → neutral gray
• Background color (bgcolor)
• If Also Highlight Background? is on, high-volume bars get High-Vol Background.
• Otherwise, background is unchanged.
⸻
4. Alerts
The indicator exposes three alert conditions:
• High Volume Bar
Triggers whenever is_high is true (up or down).
• High Volume Up Bar
Triggers only when is_high is true and the bar closed up (close > open).
• High Volume Down Bar
Triggers only when is_high is true and the bar closed down (close < open).
You can use these in TradingView’s “Create Alert” dialog to:
• Get notified of potential breakout / exhaustion bars.
• Trigger webhook events for bots / custom infra.
⸻
5. Recommended presets
5.1. “Classic” high-volume detector (closest to original)
• Lookback: 150–200
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.0–1.5
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: off
• Use Robust Stats?: off
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: off
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: off
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.0–1.0
Behavior: Flags bars whose volume is notably above the recent average (plus a bit of noise filtering), same spirit as your initial implementation.
⸻
5.2. Volatility-aware (Z-score) mode
• Lookback: 100–200
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.5–2.0
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: on
• Use Robust Stats?: on (if asset has huge spikes)
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: off (ignored anyway in z-score mode)
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: on
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.5–1.0
Behavior: Flags bars that are “statistically extreme” relative to recent volume behavior, not just absolutely large. Good for assets where baseline volume drifts over time.
⸻
5.3. “Wake-up bar” (volume acceleration)
• Lookback: 50–100
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.0–1.5
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: on
• Use Robust Stats?: optional
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: on
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: off
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.5–1.0
Behavior: Emphasis on sudden increases in volume rather than absolute size – useful to catch “first active bar” after a quiet period.
⸻
6. Limitations / notes
• Time-of-day effects
The script currently treats the entire chart as one continuous “session”. On 24/7 markets (crypto) this is fine. For regular-session assets (equities, futures), volume naturally spikes at open/close; you may want to:
• Use a shorter Lookback, or
• Add a session-aware filter in a future iteration.
• Illiquid symbols
On very low-liquidity symbols, robust stats (Use Robust Stats) and a non-zero Min Volume vs Avg can help avoid “everything looks extreme” problems.
• Overlay behavior
overlay = true means:
• Bars are recolored on the price pane.
• Volume bands are also drawn on the price pane if enabled.
If you want a dedicated panel for the bands, duplicate the logic in a separate script with overlay = false.
Dresteghamat-Multi timeframe Regime & Exhaustion**Dresteghamat-Multi timeframe Regime & Exhaustion**
This script is a custom decision-support dashboard that aggregates volatility, momentum, and structural data across multiple timeframes to filter market noise. It addresses the problem of "Analysis Paralysis" by automating the correlation between lower timeframe momentum and higher timeframe structure using a weighted scoring algorithm.
### 🔧 Methodology & Calculation Logic
The core engine does not simply overlay indicators; it normalizes their outputs into a unified score (-100 to +100). The logic is hidden (Protected) to preserve the proprietary weighting algorithm, but the underlying concepts are as follows:
**1. Adaptive Timeframe Selection (Context Engine)**
Instead of static monitoring, the script detects the user's current chart timeframe (`timeframe.multiplier`) and dynamically assigns two relevant Higher Timeframes (HTF) as anchors.
* *Logic:* If Current TF < 5min, the script analyzes 15m and 1H data. If Current TF < 1H, it shifts to 4H and Daily data. This ensures the analysis is contextually relevant.
**2. Regime & Volatility Filter (ATR Based)**
We use the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the market regime (Trend vs. Range).
* **Calculation:** We compare the current Swing Range (High-Low lookback) against a smoothed ATR. A high Ratio (> 2.0) indicates a Trend Regime, activating Trend-Following logic. A low ratio dampens the signals.
**3. Directional Bias (Structure + Flow)**
Direction is not determined by a single crossover. It is a fusion of:
* **Swing Structure:** Using `ta.pivothigh/low` to identify Higher Highs/Lower Lows.
* **Volume Flow:** Calculating the cumulative delta of candle bodies over a lookback period.
* **Micro-Bias:** A short-term (default 5-bar) momentum filter to detect immediate order flow changes.
**4. Exhaustion Logic (Mean Reversion Warning)**
To prevent buying at tops, the script calculates an "Exhaustion Score" based on:
* **RSI Divergence:** Detecting discrepancies between price peaks and momentum.
* **Volatility Extension:** Identifying when price has deviated significantly from its volatility mean (VRSD logic).
* **Volume Anomalies:** Detecting low volume on new highs (Supply absorption).
### 📊 How to Read the Dashboard
The table displays the raw status of each timeframe. The **"MODE"** row is the output of the algorithmic decision tree:
* **BUY/SELL ONLY:** Generated when the Current TF momentum aligns with the dynamically selected HTF structure AND the Exhaustion Score is below the threshold (default 70).
* **PULLBACK:** Triggered when the HTF Structure is bullish, but Current Momentum is bearish (indicating a corrective phase).
* **HTF EXHAUST:** A safety warning triggered when the HTF Volatility or RSI metrics hit extreme levels, overriding any entry signals.
* **WAIT:** Default state when volatility is low (Range Regime) or signals conflict.
### ⚠️ Disclaimer
This tool provides algorithmic analysis based on historical price action and volatility metrics. It does not guarantee future results.
Screener: Multi-Timeframe CRT / ORB [Yosiet]Are you tired of manually scanning dozens of charts across different timeframes, searching for that perfect reversal setup? What if you could have a system that does the heavy lifting for you, pinpointing high-probability reversal patterns across the entire market in real-time?
Several names for the same candlestick pattern: CRT, ORB, Morning Star, Evening Star, and others, but I'm not going to talk about it.
What is a Candle Retracement (CRT) Pattern?
For those who may be unfamiliar, the Candle Retracement pattern is a robust 3-candle setup that signals the potential exhaustion of a trend and the start of a reversal.
Bullish CRT:
Candle 1 (Signal): A significant bearish candle.
Candle 2 (Retracement): A candle that sweeps the lows of Candle 1 but closes within its body. This shows the sellers are overextended and losing momentum.
Candle 3 (Confirmation): A bullish candle that closes above Candle 2's close, confirming the reversal.
Bearish CRT:
Candle 1 (Signal): A significant bullish candle.
Candle 2 (Retracement): A candle that sweeps the highs of Candle 1 but closes within its body.
Candle 3 (Confirmation): A bearish candle that closes below Candle 2's close.
How This Screener Supercharges Your Trading
Manually finding these setups is time-consuming. This indicator automates the entire process, scanning up to four symbols across nine different timeframes—from the fast-paced 5-minute chart to the strategic weekly view.

Final Thoughts & Risk Management
The Multi-Timeframe CRT Screener is designed to be a cornerstone of your trading strategy, helping you find high-quality setups with efficiency. However, no indicator is infallible.
Always use confluence: Use the signals from this screener in conjunction with other factors like key support/resistance levels, volume, or momentum indicators.
Manage your risk: Always use a stop-loss. A good initial stop for a CRT pattern can be placed just beyond the extreme of Candle 1 (the low for bullish, high for bearish).
I hope you find this tool as invaluable in your trading as I have. I'm constantly working on improvements, so please feel free to leave your suggestions, comments, and questions below. If you find it useful, give it a like and share it with your trading community!

Forever ModelForever Model is a comprehensive trading framework that visualizes market structure through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences, and order block confirmations. The indicator identifies potential price rotations by tracking internal liquidity zones, correlation breaks between assets, and confirmation signals across multiple timeframes.
Designed for clarity and repeatability, the model presents a structured visual logic that supports manual analysis while maintaining flexibility across different assets and timeframes. All components are non-repainting, ensuring historical accuracy and reliable backtesting.
Description
The model operates through a three-part sequence that forms the visual foundation for identifying potential market rotations:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVGs are price imbalances detected on higher timeframes—areas where price moved rapidly between candles, leaving an inefficiency that may be revisited. The indicator identifies both bullish and bearish FVGs, displaying them with color-coded levels that extend until mitigated.
: Chart showing FVG detection with colored lines indicating bullish (green) and bearish (red) gaps
Smart Money Technique (SMT)
SMT detects divergence between the current chart asset and a correlated pair. When one asset makes a higher high while the other forms a lower high (or vice versa), it indicates a potential shift in delivery. The indicator draws visual lines connecting these divergence points and can filter SMTs to only display those occurring within FVG ranges.
: Chart showing SMT divergence lines between two correlated assets with labels indicating the pair name]
Order Block Confirmations (OB)
When price confirms a signal by crossing a pivot level, an Order Block is created. The confirmation line extends from the pivot point, labeled as "OB+" for bullish signals or "OB-" for bearish signals. The latest OB extends to the current bar, while previous OBs remain fixed at their confirmation points.
: Chart showing OB confirmation lines with OB+ and OB- labels at confirmation points]
Key Features
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Detection
FVGs are detected on a higher timeframe than the current chart, with automatic HTF selection based on the current timeframe or manual override options. This ensures that internal liquidity zones are identified from the appropriate structural context.
External Range Liquidity (ERL)
Tracks the latest higher timeframe pivot highs and lows, marking external liquidity levels that may be revisited. ERL levels are displayed as horizontal lines with optional labels, providing context for potential continuation targets.
: Chart showing ERL lines at recent HTF pivot points
Signal Creation and Confirmation System
The model creates pending signals when FVG levels are mitigated. Signals confirm when price closes beyond a pivot level, creating the OB confirmation line. Stop levels are automatically calculated from the maximum (bearish) or minimum (bullish) price between signal creation and confirmation.
SMT Filtering Options
Display all SMTs or only those within FVG ranges
Require SMT for signal confirmation (optional filter)
Automatic or manual SMT pair selection
Support for both correlated and inverse correlated pairs
Directional Bias Filter
Filter FVG detection to show only bullish bias, bearish bias, or both. This allows analysts to align with higher timeframe structure or focus on unidirectional setups.
Confirmation Line Management
Toggle to extend only the latest confirmation line or all confirmation lines
Transparent label backgrounds with colored text (red for bearish, green for bullish)
Automatic cleanup of old confirmation lines (keeps last 50)
Labels positioned at line end (latest) or middle (older lines)
Position Sizing Calculator
Optional position sizing based on account balance, risk percentage or fixed amount, and instrument-specific contract sizes. Supports prop firm calculations and can display position size, entry, and stop levels in the dashboard.
Information Dashboard
A customizable floating table displays:
Current timeframe and HTF
Remaining time in current bar
Current bias direction
Latest confirmed signal details (type, size, entry, stop)
Pending signal status
The dashboard can be repositioned, resized, and styled to match your preferences.
Special Range Creation
When signals confirm, the model can automatically create special range levels from stop prices. These levels persist on the chart as important reference points, even after mitigation, serving as potential reversal zones for future signals.
Label and Visualization Controls
Toggle FVG labels on/off
Toggle confirmation lines on/off
Customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs
ERL color customization
SMT line width adjustment
Order Flow Integration (Optional)
The indicator includes optional Open Interest (OI) based special range detection, allowing integration with order flow analysis for enhanced context.
Technical Notes
All components are non-repainting—once formed, they remain on the chart
FVGs cannot be mitigated on their creation bar
Signal-based special ranges persist even after mitigation (important stop levels)
SMT detection supports both HTF and chart timeframe modes
Maximum 50 confirmation lines are maintained for performance
The model is designed to work across all asset classes and timeframes, providing a consistent framework for identifying potential market rotations through the interaction of internal liquidity, correlation breaks, and confirmation signals, this does not constitute as trading advice, past performance is no indication of future performance , this is entirely done for entertainment and educational purposes
Swing Traces [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Swing Traces indicator identifies significant swing points in the market and extends them forward as fading traces. These traces represent the memory of recent highs and lows, showing how price interacts with past turning points over time. Traders can use the fading intensity and breakout signals to gauge when a swing has lost influence or when price reacts to it again.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Swing Detection – Detects recent upper and lower swing points using sensitivity-based highs and lows.
Trace Longevity – Each swing projects a “trace” forward in time, gradually fading with age until it expires.
Trace Size – Each trace is drawn with both a main level and a size extension (half of the bar range) to highlight swing influence.
Longevity Counters – Swings remain active for a customizable number of bars before fading out or being crossed by price.
Swing Retest – Labels appear when price retest above/below an active trace extension levels, confirming potential reversal.
🔵 FEATURES
Adjustable sensitivity length for swing detection.
Separate longevity controls for upper and lower swing traces.
Fading gradient coloring for visualizing how long a trace has been active.
Double-trace plotting: one at the swing level and one offset by trace size.
Clear BUY/SELL signals when price crosses a swing trace after it has matured.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use blue (upper) traces as resistance zones; lime (lower) traces as support zones.
Watch for fading traces: the longer they persist, the weaker their influence becomes.
Retest dots (●) confirm when price retest a trace, signaling a potential reversal.
Shorter sensitivity values detect faster, smaller swings; longer values capture major swing structures.
Combine with trend indicators or volume to filter false breakout signals.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Swing Traces indicator is a powerful tool for mapping price memory. By projecting recent swing highs and lows forward and fading them over time, it helps traders see where price may react, consolidate, or break through with strength. Its dynamic traces and breakout labels make it especially useful for swing traders, breakout traders, and liquidity hunters.

Delta Volume RSI1. Introduction
The Delta Volume RSI (Relative Strength Index based on Volume Delta) indicator provides a unique perspective on market momentum by analyzing the average gains and losses of the volume delta —the difference between buying and selling volume—over a specified period. Unlike traditional RSI, which focuses on price changes, this indicator evaluates shifts in market participation intensity, helping traders detect periods of accumulation and distribution through volume action.
2. Key Features
- Volume-Based Calculation: Computes RSI using the average gains and losses of delta volume rather than price changes, offering insights into buying/selling pressure.
- Dynamic Color Coding: Paints the indicator line green when above the 50 level, and red when below, enabling quick visual identification of momentum shifts around neutrality.
- Reference Levels: Clearly displays overbought (70), neutral (50), and oversold (30) lines for context on volume-driven market extremes.
- Customizable Period: Users can set the period for RSI calculation to fit their trading style and timeframe preferences.
3. How to Use
1. Interpret Colors: The indicator line turns green when volume delta momentum is bullish (above 50) and red when bearish (below 50). Overbought and oversold zones (above 70 or below 30) may highlight exhaustion in volume-driven pushes.
2. Adjustment: Modify the RSI period in the settings to tailor responsiveness.
3. Reference Line: Use the dashed gray line at 50 as a core threshold for detecting transitions between buyer and seller dominance.
How It Differs From Standard RSI
The standard RSI uses changes in closing price to calculate market momentum. In contrast, this indicator calculates RSI using the average gains and losses of the delta volume , capturing underlying shifts in buying and selling activity—even when price is flat. This makes the Delta Volume RSI especially useful for identifying divergence between volume flow and price movement, potentially signaling strong accumulation/distribution or market reversals not visible on price-based RSI alone.
Reversal Correlation Pressure [OmegaTools]Reversal Correlation Pressure is a quantitative regime-detection and signal-filtering framework designed to enhance both reversal timing and breakout validation across intraday and multi-session markets.
It is built for discretionary and systematic traders who require a statistically grounded filter capable of adapting to changing market conditions in real time.
1. Purpose and Overview
Market conditions constantly rotate through phases of expansion, contraction, trend persistence, and noise-driven mean reversion. Many strategies break down not because the signal is wrong, but because the regime is unsuitable.
This indicator solves that structural problem.
The tool measures the evolving correlation relationship between highs and lows — a robust proxy for how “organized” or “fragmented” price discovery currently is — and transforms it into a regime pressure reading. This reading is then used as the core variable to validate or filter reversal and breakout opportunities.
Combined with an internal performance-based filter that learns from its past signals, the indicator becomes a dynamic decision engine: it highlights only the signals that statistically perform best under the current market regime.
2. Core Components
2.1 Correlation-Based Regime Mapping
The relationship between highs and lows contains valuable information about market structure:
High correlation generally corresponds to coherent, directional markets where momentum and breakouts tend to prevail.
Low or unstable correlation often appears in overlapping, rotational phases where price oscillates and mean-reversion behavior dominates.
The indicator continuously evaluates this correlation, normalizes it statistically, and displays it as a pressure histogram:
Higher values indicate regimes favorable to trend continuation or momentum breakouts.
Lower values indicate regimes where reversals, pullbacks, and fade setups historically perform better.
This regime mapping is the foundation upon which the adaptive filter operates.
2.2 Reversal Stress & Breakout Stress Signaling
Raw directional opportunities are identified using statistically significant deviations from short-term equilibrium (overbought/oversold dynamics).
However, unlike traditional mean-reversion or breakout tools, signals here are not automatically taken. They must first be validated by the regime framework and then compared against the performance of similar past setups.
This dual evaluation sharply reduces the noise associated with reversal attempts during strong trends, while also preventing breakout attempts during choppy, anti-directional conditions.
2.3 Adaptive Regime-Selection Backtester
A key innovation of this indicator is its embedded micro-backtester, which continuously tracks how reversal or breakout signals have performed under each correlation regime.
The system evaluates two competing hypotheses:
Signals perform better during high-correlation regimes.
Signals perform better during low-correlation or neutral regimes.
For each new trigger, the indicator looks back at a rolling sample of past setups and measures short-term performance under both regimes. It then automatically selects the regime that currently demonstrates the superior historical edge.
In other words, the indicator:
Learns from recent market behavior
Determines which regime supports reversals
Determines which regime supports breakouts
Applies the optimal filter in real time
Highlights only the signals that historically outperformed under similar conditions
This creates a dynamic, statistically supervised approach to signal filtering — a substantial improvement over static or fixed-threshold systems.
2.4 Visual Components
To support rapid decision-making:
Correlation Pressure Histogram:
Encodes regime strength through a gradient-based color system, transitioning from neutral contexts into strong structural phases.
Directional Markers:
Visual arrows appear when a signal passes all filters and conditions.
Bar Coloring:
Bars can optionally be recolored to reflect active bullish or bearish bias after the adaptive filter approves a signal.
These components integrate seamlessly to give the trader a concise but complete view of the underlying conditions.
3. How to Use This Indicator
3.1 Identifying Regimes
The histogram is the anchor:
High, brightly colored columns suggest trend-friendly behavior where breakout alignment and directional follow-through have historically been stronger.
Low or muted columns suggest mean-reversion contexts where counter-trend opportunities and reversal setups gain reliability.
3.2 Filtering Signals
The indicator automatically decides whether a reversal or breakout trigger should be respected based on:
the current correlation regime,
the learned performance of recent signals under similar conditions, and
the directional stress detected in price.
The user does not need to adjust anything manually.
3.3 Integration with Other Tools
This indicator works best when combined with:
VWAP or session levels
Market internals and breadth metrics
Volume, order flow, or delta-based tools
Local structural frameworks (support/resistance, liquidity highs and lows)
Its strength is in telling you when your other signals matter and when they should be ignored.
4. Strengths of the Framework
Automatically adapts to changing micro-regimes
Reduces false reversals during strong trends
Avoids false breakouts in overlapping, rotational markets
Learns from recent historical performance
Provides a statistically driven confirmation layer
Works on all liquid assets and timeframes
Suitable for both discretionary and automated environments
5. Disclaimer
This indicator is provided strictly for educational and analytical purposes.
It does not constitute trading advice, investment guidance, or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
Past performance of any statistical filter or adaptive method does not guarantee future results.
All trading involves significant risk, and users are responsible for their own decisions and risk management.

Trading Sessions [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Trading Sessions indicator tracks and displays the four major global trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It provides session-based background highlighting, real-time price change tracking from session open, and a data table with session status. The script works across all markets (forex, equities, commodities, crypto) and helps traders identify when specific geographic markets are active, which directly correlates with changes in liquidity and volatility patterns. Default session times are set to major financial center hours in UTC but are fully adjustable to match your trading methodology.
🟢 Key Features
→ Session Background Color Coding
Each trading session gets a distinct background color on your chart:
1. Sydney Session - Default orange, 22:00-07:00 UTC
2. Tokyo Session - Default red, 00:00-09:00 UTC
3. London Session - Default green, 08:00-16:00 UTC
4. New York Session - Default blue, 13:00-22:00 UTC
When sessions overlap, the color priority is New York > London > Tokyo > Sydney. This means if London and New York are both active, the background shows New York's color. The priority matches typical liquidity and volatility patterns where later sessions generally show higher volume.
→ Color Customization
All session colors are configurable in the Color Settings panel:
1. Click any session color input to open the color picker
2. Select your preferred color for that session
3. Use the "Background Transparency" slider (0-100) to adjust opacity. Lower values = more visible, higher values = more subtle
4. Enable "Color Price Bars" to color candlesticks themselves according to the active session instead of just the background
The Color column in the info table shows a block (█) in each session's assigned color, matching what you see on the chart background.
→ Information Table Breakdown
→ Timeframe Warning
If you're viewing a timeframe of 12 hours or higher, a red warning label appears center-screen. Session boundaries don't render accurately on high timeframes because the time() function in Pine Script can't detect intra-bar session changes when each bar spans multiple sessions. The warning tells you to switch to sub-12H timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m, etc.) for proper session detection. You can disable this warning in Color Settings if needed, but session highlighting can be unreliable on 12H+ charts regardless.
→ Time Range Configuration
Every session's time range is editable in Session Settings:
1. Click the time input field next to each session
2. Enter time as HHMM-HHMM in 24-hour format
3. All times are interpreted as UTC
4. Modify these to account for daylight saving shifts or to define custom session periods based on your backtested optimal trading windows
For example, if your strategy performs best during London/NY overlap specifically, you could set London to 08:00-17:00 and New York to 13:00-22:00 to ensure you see the full overlap highlighted.
→ Weekdays Filter
The "Weekdays Only (Mon-Fri)" toggle controls whether sessions display on weekends:
Enabled: Sessions only show Monday-Friday and hide on Saturday-Sunday. Use this for markets that close on weekends (most equities, forex).
Disabled: Sessions display 24/7 including weekends. Use this for markets that trade continuously (crypto).
→ Table Display Options
The info table has several configuration options in Table Settings:
Visibility: Toggle "Show Info Table" on/off to display or hide the entire table.
Position: Nine position options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right) let you place the table wherever it doesn't block your price action or other indicators.
Text Size: Four size options (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large) to match your screen resolution and visual preferences.
→ Color Schemes:
Mono: Black background, gray header, white text
Light: White background, light gray header, black text
Blue: Dark blue background, medium blue header, white text
Custom: Manual selection of all five color components (table background, header background, header text, data text, borders)
→ Alert Functionality
The indicator includes ten alert conditions you can access via TradingView's alert system:
Session Opens:
1. Sydney Session Started
2. Tokyo Session Started
3. London Session Started
4. New York Session Started
5. Any Session Started
Session Closes:
6. Sydney Session Ended
7. Tokyo Session Ended
8. London Session Ended
9. New York Session Ended
10. Any Session Ended
These alerts fire when sessions transition based on your configured time ranges, letting you automate monitoring of session changes without watching the chart continuously. Useful for strategies that trade specific session opens/closes or need to adjust position sizing when volatility regime shifts between sessions.
Match Finder [theUltimator5]Match Finder is the dating app of indicators. It takes your current ticker and finds the most compatible match over a recent time period. The match may not be Mr. right, but it is Mr. right now. It doesn't forecast future connection, but it tells you current compatibility for today.
Jokes aside, it is a pattern–comparison tool that was designed to find the ticker that tracks most closely to the one you are currently looking at. It scans a user-defined list of 40 tickers (pre-set to a bunch of liquid ETFs) and finds which one most closely matches the recent price action of the current chart over a fixed lookback window.
LOGIC BEHIND THE SCENES
For each bar, the script:
Takes the last N bars (Correlation Window Length) of the current symbol.
Takes the last N bars of each selected comparison ticker.
Calculates the Pearson correlation between the current symbol and each comparison ticker.
Identifies the single best-matching ticker (highest positive correlation, excluding the current symbol itself).
Rescales and overlays that matched segment on the chart so you can visually compare shapes.
Optionally shows a correlation table with all tickers and their correlation values.
The use case of this indicator is to help you see which symbol has recently moved most similarly to your current chart, and how that shape looks when overlaid in the same panel. It helps you see which sectors it may be following most closely to.
Here is an image with arrows showing the elements of this indicator that will be mostly explained later.
USER INPUTS
1. Correlation Window Length
Default: 30
Range: 10–500
This is the number of bars used to compare the current symbol against each ticker.
Important - Larger values produce more “global” shape comparison but increase computational load and may cause the indicator to timeout if the length is too long
2. Drawing Mode
Options:
Scale Only - Adjusts min and max of the plotted line segment to match the chart over the range
Scale & Rotate - Scales as above, but matches the first and last point to the close of the chart over the range. This effectively rotates the pattern to force it to track the chart to an extent.
3. Show Correlation Table
When enabled (disabled by default), shows a table in the bottom-right of the chart that displays the correlation values over the lookback range for all 40 tickers. The best fit ticker is highlighted.
4. Best Fit Line Color
Color used to draw the overlaid best-match segment (yellow by default).
5. Ticker inputs (1–40)
Default set to a broad universe of major ETFs (e.g., SPY, QQQ, IWM, sector and bond ETFs, commodities, etc.).
You can replace these with any symbols supported by your data feed (stocks, ETFs, indexes, etc.).
The script always excludes the current chart’s symbol from being considered as its own best match.
