HTF Accumulation Distribution Zones (Analysis)📌 Indicator Name HTF Accumulation–Distribution Zones (Analysis) This indicator highlights potential accumulation and distribution contexts on the price chart using a combination of volume behavior, volatility (ATR), momentum, and VWAP positioning.The script is designed to help traders understand market participation and positioning, especially on higher intraday and swing timeframes, where institutional activity tends to leave clearer footprints. 🔍 What the indicator shows ACC (Accumulation) : Marks areas where controlled buying activity may be present, identified through: Strong candle structure relative to volatility Healthy or controlled volume participation Improving momentum within defined ranges DIST (Distribution) : Marks areas where selling pressure may be emerging, identified through: Price stretching away from VWAP Weakening momentum Strong bearish candle structure These labels represent contextual zones, not trade signals. 🧠 How to use it Use ACC and DIST labels as market context, not as direct buy or sell instructions. Best used as a confirmation layer alongside: Trend filters (EMA, VWAP, structure) Support & resistance Breakout or pullback strategies Works well on 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, and higher timeframes Suitable for indices, futures, and liquid stocks ⚠️ Important Notes This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. It does not predict future price movement. All outputs are based purely on historical data analysis. Always apply independent confirmation and proper risk management

CCI Standard DeviationCCI Standard Deviation – Asymmetric Volatility-Adjusted Trend Filter (CCI SD) The Commodity Channel Index (CCI), created by Donald Lambert in 1980, measures how far the typical price deviates from its statistical average to identify cyclical momentum and trend strength. The standard formula is: CCI = (Typical Price − SMA(Typical Price, n)) / (0.015 × Mean Deviation) where Typical Price = (High + Low + Close)/3. CCI is unbounded and centered around zero: sustained readings above zero indicate bullish momentum, below zero bearish. Classic interpretations often use zero-line crosses or fixed levels (±100, ±200, ±250), but these can be unreliable when CCI volatility changes across market regimes. This indicator was developed to create a more disciplined trend-following tool that aligns with my core risk principle: “always protect to the downside.” Starting from the standard CCI zero-line concept for trend direction, I experimented with standard deviation bands to make the oscillator volatility-adjusted. I then applied deliberate asymmetry: requiring the lower 1σ envelope (CCI − stdev) to cross above a positive threshold for bullish confirmation (high-probability entry only in robust trends), while exiting immediately on any raw CCI weakness below a negative threshold (quick downside protection). User inputs for both thresholds were added to allow fine-tuning and adaptability across different assets and timeframes. An optional DEMA-smoothed version of the lower envelope provides additional clarity when desired. Extreme zones raw CCI ±240 and lower envelope > 200 or < –200 - are highlighted with background shading to flag rare acceleration or capitulation phases. How it works Standard CCI calculated on typical price (default length 38). Rolling standard deviation of the CCI itself (default length 13) measures the oscillator’s recent volatility. Lower envelope = CCI − stdev (dn). Optional DEMA smoothing (default length 12) can be toggled. Trend logic: Bullish regime only when lower envelope → Long Threshold (default +10) → statistical proof of strength Bearish/neutral immediately when raw CCI → Short Threshold (default –25) → fast downside protection Origin and development The indicator emerged from wanting a cleaner, more reliable CCI for trend direction. After testing volatility-adjusted versions, the asymmetric design proved superior: it enters only high-conviction uptrends and exits rapidly on weakness, significantly reducing whipsaws while preserving trend capture. Parameters were optimized through extensive backtests on major assets (BTC, ETH, SOL and many more Cryptos; Magnificent 7 stocks, QQQ, SPX, gold). The defaults were selected for the best average Sortino ratio and lowest maximum drawdown across this broad universe, ensuring robustness and avoiding single-asset overfitting. How to use it Green triangle below bar → lower envelope crosses above Long Threshold → high-conviction bullish trend confirmed → enter or add to longs Magenta triangle above bar → CCI crosses below Short Threshold → exit longs or go cash/short While lower envelope remains above Long Threshold → hold bullish positions Extreme background shading (dn >200 or CCI ±240) → rare high-attention zones (potential acceleration or exhaustion) Recommended defaults CCI length: 38 SD length: 13 Long threshold: +10 Short threshold: –25 Optional MA length: 12 (DEMA of lower envelope) All visual elements (bar coloring, signals, background, smoothed line) are toggleable for personal preference. This indicator is designed as a trend-strength and risk-management filter and is not intended as a standalone trading system. Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Backtests are based on past results and are not indicative of future performance.

Option Price SR (csgnanam)## ⚖️ Disclaimer This script is provided for **educational and analytical purposes only**. It does not constitute financial advice. Use proper risk management and trade responsibly. --- ## 📌 Indicator Concept & Trading Logic This is a rule-based reference indicator designed to interpret **option price behavior** using **previous-day derived equilibrium levels**. The indicator helps traders classify the market into **range-bound, breakout, or invalid trade zones** by observing how **ATM Call (CE) and Put (PE)** prices react around these levels. All levels are **fixed for the trading day** and recalculated only on the next session. --- ## 📊 Core Levels Explained The indicator plots the following **daily-anchored reference levels**: * **PDH / PDL** – Previous Day High / Low of the option * **PDC** – Previous Day Close * **100% AVG (Breakout Zone)** Average of previous-day CE and PE prices for the same strike * **75% AVG (Midzone)** Balance / decision zone * **50% AVG (Support Zone)** Lower acceptance / decay boundary These levels act as **reaction zones**, not prediction lines. --- ## 🧠 Market Interpretation Logic ### 1️⃣ Range-Bound Market Condition * When **both ATM CE and ATM PE** are **trading within the 100% AVG (Breakout) level**, the market has a **high probability of remaining range-bound**. * Premium expansion is limited on both sides. * Ideal environment for **non-directional strategies**. --- ### 2️⃣ Breakout Validation * A **true directional move** requires **asymmetry** between CE and PE. * If **one side moves into breakout**, the **opposite side must stay suppressed**. **Example:** * If **CE breaks down below Midzone**, then **PE must be above Breakout or at least above Midzone**. * The same logic applies inversely for PE breakdowns. This confirms **capital rotation**, not random premium decay. --- ### 3️⃣ Midzone (75%) – Reversal Watch Area * The **Midzone** is a **high-probability reaction area**. * Many intraday reversals initiate from this level. * Price acceptance or rejection here defines: * Continuation * Mean reversion * Failed breakout This zone should be **closely monitored for structure and volume behavior**. --- ### 4️⃣ Support Zone (50%) – Trade Invalidation * When an option price trades **below the Support (50%) level**: * That option side becomes **non-tradable** * Premium strength is lost * Risk increases significantly Trades **below support** are considered **low probability** and should be avoided. --- ## ⚠️ Important Usage Notes * This indicator is **not a buy/sell signal generator** * It is a **context and decision-filter tool** * Best used in combination with: * Price action * Structure * Spot/index behavior * Time-of-day context All levels are **session-anchored** and do **not repaint intraday**. --- ## 🎯 Intended Use Case * Intraday option traders * ATM / near-ATM focus * Range vs directional market identification * Premium behavior analysis * Trade filtering and risk control ---

Buying Opportunity Score V2.2Buying Opportunity Indicator V2.2 What This Indicator Does This indicator identifies potential buying opportunities during market fear and pullbacks by combining multiple technical signals into a single composite score (0-100). Higher scores indicate more fear/oversold conditions are present simultaneously. Why These Components? Market bottoms typically occur when multiple fear signals align. This indicator combines five complementary measurements that each capture different aspects of market stress: 1. VIX Level (30 points) - Measures implied volatility/fear. VIX spikes during selloffs as traders buy protection. Thresholds based on historical percentiles (VIX 25+ is ~85th percentile historically). 2. Price Drawdown (30 points) - Distance from 52-week high. Larger drawdowns create better risk/reward for mean reversion entries. A 10%+ drawdown from highs historically presents better entry points than buying at all-time highs. 3. RSI 14 (12 points) - Classic momentum oscillator measuring oversold conditions. RSI below 30 indicates short-term selling exhaustion. 4. Bollinger Band Position (13 points) - Statistical measure of price extension. Price below the lower band (2 standard deviations) indicates statistically unusual weakness. 5. VIX Timing (15 points) - Bonus points when VIX is declining from a recent peak. This helps avoid catching falling knives by waiting for fear to subside. How The Score Works - Each component contributes points based on severity - Components are weighted by predictive value from historical analysis - Score of 70+ means multiple fear signals are present - Score of 80+ means extreme fear across most components How To Use 1. Apply to SPY, QQQ, or IWM on daily timeframe 2. Monitor the Current Score in the statistics table 3. Scores below 50 = normal conditions, no action needed 4. Scores 60-69 = elevated fear, monitor closely 5. Scores 70+ = consider entering long positions 6. Scores 80+ = strongest historical entry points Important Limitations - This is a research tool, not financial advice - Past patterns may not repeat in the future - Signals are infrequent (typically 2-4 per year reaching 70+) - Works best on broad market ETFs; not validated for individual stocks - Always use proper position sizing and risk management - The indicator identifies conditions that have historically been favorable, but cannot predict future returns Statistics Table The table shows: - Current Score with context message - Chart Results: Rolling 1Y/3Y/5Y statistics from your loaded chart data Alerts Multiple alert options available for different score thresholds. Open Source Code is fully visible for review and educational purposes.

RS Rating Multi-Timeframe v2RS Rating Multi-Timeframe A relative strength rating indicator modeled after IBD's proprietary RS Rating system. This indicator measures a stock's price performance relative to the S&P 500 (or any benchmark you choose) and converts it to a 1-99 rating scale. How It Works The indicator calculates weighted performance ratios across four timeframes: 40% weight: 63-day (3-month) performance 20% weight: 126-day (6-month) performance 20% weight: 189-day (9-month) performance 20% weight: 252-day (12-month) performance This weighting emphasizes recent performance while still accounting for longer-term strength—the same methodology used by leading growth stock research services. Rating Scale 90-99: Elite relative strength (top 10% of stocks) 80-89: Strong relative strength (top 20%) 50-79: Average performance 30-49: Below average 1-29: Weak relative strength (bottom 30%) Features Customizable benchmark index (default: S&P 500) Optional moving average overlay (EMA or SMA) Visual zones with color-coded backgrounds Signal markers when RS crosses key thresholds (80 and 30) Info table showing current rating, daily change, MA value, and raw score Built-in alerts for threshold crossovers Pine Screener Compatible This indicator includes state-based plots specifically designed for TradingView's Pine Screener. You can screen watchlists for: RS Above 90, 80, 70, or 50 RS Below 50 or 30 RS Above/Below its moving average Custom thresholds using the raw RS Rating value In the Pine Screener, select the "Screener RS Above 80" output and set it to "True" (or equals 1) to find all stocks currently above 80—not just those crossing on that bar. Usage Tips Growth investors typically look for stocks with RS Ratings above 80, indicating the stock is outperforming 80% of the market. Combining high RS Rating with other technical signals (breakouts, volume, moving averages) can help identify leading stocks.

QuantLabs MASM Correlation TableThe Market is a graph. See the flows: The QuantLabs MASM is not a standard correlation table. It is an Alpha-Grade Scanner architected to reveal the hidden "hydraulic" relationships between global macro assets in real-time. Rebuilt from the ground up for Version 3, this engine pushes the absolute limits of the Pine Script™ runtime. It utilizes a proprietary Logarithmic Math Engine, Symmetric Compute Optimization, and a futuristic "Ghost Mode" interface to deliver a 15x15 real-time correlation matrix with zero lag. Under the Hood: The Quant Architecture We stripped away standard libraries to build a lean, high-performance engine designed for institutional-grade accuracy. 1. Alpha Math Engine (Logarithmic Returns) Most tools calculate correlation based on Price, which generates spurious signals (e.g., "Everything is correlated in a bull run"). The Solution: Our engine computes Logarithmic Returns (log(close/close )) by default. This measures the correlation of change (Velocity & Vector), not price levels. The Result: A mathematically rigorous view of statistical relationships that filters out the noise of general market drift. Dual-Core: Toggle seamlessly between "Alpha Mode" (Log Returns) for verified stats and "Visual Mode" (Price) for trend alignment. Calculation Modes: Pearson (Standard), Euclidean (Distance), Cosine (Vector), Manhattan (Grid). 2. Symmetric Compute Optimization Calculating a 15x15 matrix requires evaluating 225 unique relationships per bar, which often crashes memory limits. The Fix: The V3 Engine utilizes Symmetric Logic, recognizing that Correlation(A, B) == Correlation(B, A). The Gain: By computing only the lower triangle of the matrix and mirroring pointers to the upper triangle, we reduced computational load by 50%, ensuring a lightning-fast data feed even on lower timeframes. 3. Context-Aware "Ghost Mode" The UI is designed for professional traders who need focus, not clutter. Smart Detection: The matrix automatically detects your current chart's Ticker ID. If you are trading QQQ, the matrix will visually highlight the Nas100 row and column, making them opaque and bright while dimming the rest. Dynamic Transparency: Irrelevant data ("Noise" < 0.3 correlation) fades into the background. Only significant "Alpha Signals" (> 0.7) glow with full Neon Saturation. Key Features Dominant Flow Scanner: The matrix scans all 105 unique pairs every tick and prints the #1 Strongest Correlation at the bottom of the pane (e.g., DOMINANT FLOW: Bitcoin ↔ Nas100 ). Streak Counter: A "Stubbornness" metric that tracks how many consecutive days a strong correlation has persisted. Instantly identify if a move is a "flash event" or a "structural trend." Neon Palette: Proprietary color mapping using Electric Blue (+1.0) for lockstep correlation and Deep Red (-1.0) for inverse hedging. Usage Guide Placement: Best viewed in a bottom pane (Footer). Assets: Pre-loaded with the Essential 15 Macro Drivers (Indices, BTC, Gold, Oil, Rates, FX, Key Sectors). Fully editable via settings (Ticker|Name). Reading the Grid: 🔵 Bright Blue: Assets moving in lockstep (Risk-On). 🔴 Bright Red: Assets moving perfectly opposite (Hedge/Risk-Off). ⚫ Faded/Black: No statistical relationship (Decoupled). Key Improvements Made: Formatting: Added clear bullet points and bolding to make it scannable. Clarity: Clarified the "Logarithmic Returns" section to explain why it matters (Velocity vs. Price Levels). Tone: Maintained the "high-tech/quant" vibe but removed slightly clunky phrases like "spurious signals" (unless you prefer that academic tone, in which case I left it in as it fits the persona). Structure: Grouped the "Modes" under the Math Engine for better logic. Created and designed by QuantLabs

Momentum Echo Oscillator [Community Edition]Concept: The Momentum Echo Oscillator (MEO) is a modern take on classical momentum oscillators. Most indicators only look at the "now". MEO introduces the concept of Momentum Echoes—historical momentum harmonics that are weighted and blended back into the current price velocity. Why use MEO? Standard momentum tools (like ROC or RSI) can be very "jittery" or noisy. By integrating historical echoes, MEO provides a smoother, more rhythmic representation of price flow, making it easier to spot genuine trend reversals. Key Elements: Primary Momentum: The immediate speed of price. Echo Harmonics: Two adjustable lookback points that act as a "memory" for the indicator, filtering out false breakouts. Dynamic Histogram: Visualizes the gap between the Echo Engine and the Trigger Line, highlighting acceleration and deceleration. Settings: Echo Weight: Adjust how much "memory" you want the indicator to have. Smoothing: Clean up the signals for higher timeframes. This is an open-source tool for the TradingView community. Enjoy!

Risk Adjusted Geometric Exponent [VynthraQuant]RAGE Index (Risk-Adjusted Geometric Exponent) Overview The RAGE Index is a quantitative momentum oscillator that measures the efficiency and quality of an asset's price trend. Standing for Risk-Adjusted Geometric Exponent , this indicator goes beyond simple price action by evaluating the average logarithmic growth rate relative to the asset's volatility. In institutional finance, it is not just about how much an asset moves, but how it moves. RAGE identifies trends that exhibit high compounding growth with minimal "noise" or volatility. The Logic Behind RAGE The indicator is built on two core quantitative pillars: 1. Geometric Exponent (GE): Instead of simple percentage changes, we calculate the geometric mean of log-returns. This represents the true compounding "velocity" of the price. 2. Volatility Normalization: We divide the GE by the standard deviation of returns (Volatility) over a specific lookback period. How to Interpret the RAGE Index * The Zero Line: The most critical level. When RAGE crosses above 0, the asset has entered a state of positive geometric growth. Below 0, the asset is in a state of efficient decay. * Trend Quality: A rising RAGE value indicates that the trend is becoming more "efficient", growth is increasing while volatility is staying low or decreasing. * Color-Coded Candles: The script features a `force_overlay` function that colors the candles on your main chart. * Bullish Color: Efficient growth detected (Long bias). * Bearish Color: Efficient decay detected (Short bias). Key Features * Logarithmic Accuracy: Uses log-returns to ensure time-additivity and eliminate the bias found in standard percentage calculations. * Adaptive to Volatility: Unlike a standard RSI or MACD, RAGE penalizes "choppy" price action, helping you stay out of sideways markets. * Optimized Performance: Written in Pine Script v6 with high-efficiency math to ensure fast loading even on lower timeframes. Settings * GE Lookback: The window used to calculate the average growth rate. * Volatility Lookback: The window used to measure the "risk" or noise of the price action.

GC/MGC VWAP Pullback + ADX Regime (Prop-Safe)GC / MGC VWAP Pullback + ADX Regime Strategy (Prop-Safe) This strategy is designed specifically for Gold futures (GC & MGC) and prop firm trading, where capital preservation, consistency, and avoiding chop matter more than trade frequency. The core philosophy is simple: Only trade gold when it is expanding, aligned, and at the right location. Strategy Concept Gold moves in bursts, not constantly. Most losses come from trading compression, VWAP chop, or late momentum. This strategy filters those environments out and trades only: Strong intraday momentum Clear higher-timeframe direction First pullbacks to VWAP Clean price rejection with follow-through It intentionally produces fewer but higher-quality trades. Market Regime Filter (ADX) ADX is evaluated on the 5-minute chart This is the trade permission filter ADX zones: Below 18 → No trade (compression / chop) 20–35 → Optimal trading zone 35–45 → Caution (strong trend, reduced opportunity) Above 45 → No new entries (late expansion / news risk) ADX does not determine direction. It only determines whether trading is allowed. Direction Filter (Higher Timeframe) Direction comes from the 1-Hour chart EMA 20 above EMA 50 → Long bias only EMA 20 below EMA 50 → Short bias only Optional slope confirmation for additional strictness No counter-trend trades. Entry Logic (5-Minute Chart) Trades are taken using a VWAP pullback continuation model. Long Setup ADX between 20–35 1H EMA 20 > EMA 50 Price pulls back to VWAP Bullish rejection candle at VWAP Entry on break of the rejection candle high Short Setup ADX between 20–35 1H EMA 20 < EMA 50 Price pulls back to VWAP from below Bearish rejection candle at VWAP Entry on break of the rejection candle low All entries use stop orders, not market orders, to ensure follow-through. Risk Management Stop loss is placed beyond the rejection candle Partial profit at 1R Final target at 2R No pyramiding One clean setup is preferred over multiple trades This structure aligns well with prop firm rules, trailing drawdowns, and consistency requirements. What This Strategy Avoids VWAP chop Range-bound sessions Overtrading Late entries after news spikes Counter-trend setups If conditions are not ideal, no trade is the correct trade. Best Use Case Instruments: GC, MGC Timeframe: 5-minute Style: Intraday, prop-firm friendly Ideal for traders who value: Discipline Structure Capital protection

Gold ORB Strategy (3/5/15/30 Min)It's a multi-mode Opening Range Breakout system for Gold futures that automates the detection of the 7:20-7:23 AM CT opening range and provides clear visual signals for four different trading styles. In Plain English: "It draws a box around gold's first 3 minutes of trading, then alerts you when price breaks out with confirmation from volume, VWAP, and moving averages. It automatically calculates your entry, stop, and target prices based on your chosen strategy style." What Makes It Unique: 4 Trading Personalities in One Tool: Aggressive = "I want every breakout, I'll manage the fakeouts" Confirmed = "Show me only moves that close beyond the range" Retest = "I want the pullback entry for better R:R" Fibonacci = "Let me buy the dip after the initial move" Smart Confluence Filtering: Doesn't just show every breakout Checks if VWAP agrees (trend filter) Verifies EMA alignment (momentum filter) Flags volume spikes (conviction filter) Complete Trade Management: Automatically calculates stops (3 different methods) Shows profit targets based on your R:R preference Labels stick to price levels as you scroll Visual dashboard shows all key info at a glance What It's NOT: Not a "buy here, sell there" robot - you still need to read the market Not foolproof - no strategy works every day Not optimized yet - you'll need to backtest and adjust settings for your style The Real Value: It takes a proven strategy from your research and makes it systematic and repeatable. Instead of manually drawing boxes and calculating stops every morning, it does the math and shows you exactly where the setup is.

Volume-Weighted Fibonacci PivotThis indicator automatically plots dynamic Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on a volume-weighted pivot point within a user-defined lookback period or date range. It intelligently calculates a central "pivot" price biased toward high-volume bars, then draws symmetric levels both upward (extensions) and downward (retracements) for balanced confluence analysis. How It Works (Technical Methodology) Lookback Period Determination Multiple filter modes control the data range used for calculations: "Last X Bars": Fixed number of recent bars (default 400, max 4999). "Manual Date": User-specified start date. "Interactive (Chart)": Confirmed start date via input. "None": Full available history (falls back to max bars). Optionally, when using "Last X Bars", calculations can pull data from a higher/lower user-selected timeframe via request.security() for multi-timeframe alignment. A dotted vertical line marks the start point in date-based modes. Range and Pivot Calculation Within the selected period: Highest high and lowest low define the full price range. Average volume is computed across the period. Volume-Weighted Pivot: Average close price only from bars where volume > average volume (fallback to simple midpoint if no high-volume bars). This creates a "smart" central pivot that leans toward areas of greater participation, often aligning with institutional activity. Fibonacci Level Generation User-configurable ratios (default: 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0, 1.272, 1.414, 1.618). Levels are calculated symmetrically around the volume-weighted pivot: Upward: Pivot + (Range × Ratio × Correction Factor) – teal/cyan shades. Downward: Pivot - (Range × Ratio × Correction Factor) – red shades. Correction Factor (default 0.5): Scales level spacing for tighter/wider grids without altering ratios. Only the user-defined number of active lines (default 9) are drawn. Visual Construction Central Pivot Line: Thick yellow horizontal line with label showing exact price. Up/Down Levels: Dashed lines extended into the future, labeled with ratio direction ("Up" or "Dn"). All objects redraw only on the last bar for performance, clearing previous drawings. Multi-Timeframe Option When enabled with "Last X Bars": Pulls high/low/volume data from specified timeframe. Aligns the pivot and levels to higher-timeframe structure while displaying on current chart – ideal for intraday traders seeking HTF confluence. How to Use This tool provides clean, volume-aware Fibonacci grids for identifying potential support/resistance, reversal zones, and targets. Volume-Weighted Pivot: Often acts as a strong mean reversion level or fair value area. Upward Levels (Teal): Potential resistance/extensions in bullish moves; watch for reactions on retests. Downward Levels (Red): Potential support/retracements in bearish moves. Confluence: High probability when price reacts at levels aligning with other tools (order blocks, pivots, volume profile). Correction Factor: Lower values (<0.5) for tighter grids in ranging markets; higher (>0.5) for trending markets. Multi-Timeframe Mode: Use on lower charts (e.g., 15m) with HTF input (e.g., 4H or Daily) to project major structure levels. Common Setups: Pullbacks to 0.618–0.786 zones for continuation entries. Breaks beyond 1.0–1.618 for extension targets. Reactions near pivot line for mean reversion trades. Adjust ratios and active line count to match your preferred Fibonacci style (classic retracement vs. extensions). Disclaimer This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.

Strat Structure Engine + Trapped TradersStrat Structure Engine + Trapped Traders – Detailed Description This script identifies high-probability market structure patterns known as “The Strat” setups, specifically focusing on 3-bar → Failed 2, 2-bar → Failed 2, and Failed 2 → Failed 2 (“Dragon’s Tail”) sequences. It is designed to help traders visualize potential reversals, trapped traders, and exhaustion points directly on the chart, combining price action, volatility, and volume metrics to grade signal strength. Key Features: 3-Bar → Failed 2 (Tiered Scoring): Detects a 3-bar structure followed immediately by a strict Failed 2 bar. Evaluates the setup using four criteria: 3-bar range relative to ATR Failed 2 close position relative to the 3-bar midpoint Failed 2 body-to-range ratio Volume relative to recent average Assigns a tier (A+, A, B, or —) to indicate reliability, giving traders a graded view of signal strength. 2-Bar → Failed 2 (A+ Only): Identifies strict 2-bar structures immediately followed by a Failed 2 bar. Uses a similar evaluation system as 3→F2 but filters only for the strongest A+ setups. Highlights signals where price shows strong directional rejection and high probability for reversal. Dragon’s Tail – Failed 2 → Failed 2: Captures consecutive Failed 2 bars in opposite directions, a classic trapped-trader scenario. Signals both bullish and bearish sequences on bar close, helping traders spot potential quick reversals. How It Works: Uses ATR to contextualize bar ranges and volatility. Incorporates volume averaging to detect unusually high trading activity that validates the strength of a Failed 2 setup. Strict bar evaluation ensures only fully-formed, confirmed patterns are labeled, reducing noise and false signals. Optional labels and alerts allow traders to track these structures in real-time or on bar close. Practical Trading Use: Ideal for spotting short-term exhaustion points, trapped traders, and reversal zones. Can be used alongside liquidity zones, VWAP, and fair value gaps to refine entries and exits. Traders can focus on high-tier signals (A+ / A) for higher probability trades, while lower-tier signals (B) indicate caution or context setups. Customization Options: Toggle visibility for each pattern type (3→F2, 2→F2, F2→F2). Adjust ATR length and volume average period for different instruments or timeframes. Alerts are available for all major setups, enabling integration with automated monitoring or manual execution strategies. Summary: The Strat Structure Engine + Trapped Traders script combines price action structure, volatility, and volume analysis to visualize high-probability reversal setups. By highlighting both strict pattern confirmations and tiered reliability, it provides traders with actionable insight into potential turning points, trapped trader scenarios, and high-conviction market moves without relying on external scripts or assumptions.

VIX Percentile OscillatorWhat is this script? This is a trading tool that helps you decide when to buy or sell options based on market volatility. Think of it as a "fear meter" for the stock market. What is VIX? VIX = Volatility Index (also called the "fear index") When VIX is HIGH → Market is scared/volatile → Options are EXPENSIVE When VIX is LOW → Market is calm → Options are CHEAP What does "Percentile" mean? Instead of just showing VIX price, this script shows where VIX is compared to history. Example: If VIX Percentile = 85% This means VIX is higher than 85% of all past readings Only 15% of the time was VIX higher than now Translation: Volatility is unusually HIGH The 5 Trading Zones The script divides the market into 5 zones: 🔴 EXTREME SELLING ZONE (90-100%) VIX is in the top 10% historically Action: AGGRESSIVELY SELL OPTIONS (collect big premiums) Market panic = expensive options = profit for sellers 🟠 SELLING ZONE (80-89%) VIX is elevated but not extreme Action: SELL OPTIONS (good premiums available) ⚪ NEUTRAL ZONE (20-79%) VIX is normal Action: WAIT or use other strategies 🟢 BUYING ZONE (10-19%) VIX is low Action: BUY OPTIONS (they're cheap) 🟢 EXTREME BUYING ZONE (0-9%) VIX is in the bottom 10% historically Action: AGGRESSIVELY BUY OPTIONS (bargain prices) Market complacency = cheap options = opportunity Understanding the Chart Main Line (Blue/Red/Green): Shows current VIX percentile Color changes based on zone Thick line = easy to see Histogram (Background bars): Red bars = above 50% (high volatility) Green bars = below 50% (low volatility) Purple Momentum Line: Shows if VIX is rising or falling Helps you catch trends early Background Colors: Light red/orange = Selling zones Light green = Buying zones Triangle Markers: Appear when entering new zones "EXTREME" label = strongest signals The Statistics Table (Top Right) VIX Price: Current VIX value (e.g., 16.50) Percentile: Where VIX ranks (0-100%) Z-Score: Statistical measure Above +2 or below -2 = extreme Red text = unusually high/low Momentum: Rate of change Red = rising (volatility increasing) Green = falling (volatility decreasing) Avg VIX: Average VIX over lookback period Current Zone: Which zone you're in right now Bars in Zone: How long you've been in this zone Simple Trading Rules FOR OPTION SELLERS (Premium Collectors): ✅ SELL when: Percentile > 80% (especially > 90%) High premiums available Examples: Sell covered calls, cash-secured puts, credit spreads FOR OPTION BUYERS (Hedgers/Speculators): ✅ BUY when: Percentile < 20% (especially < 10%) Cheap options available Examples: Buy protective puts, long calls, debit spreads Key Settings You Can Adjust Lookback Period (default: 252) How far back to compare (252 = 1 year of trading days) Longer = smoother, more stable Shorter = more sensitive to recent changes Smoothing Period (default: 3) Reduces noise/wiggling Higher = smoother line Lower = more responsive Zone Thresholds: Extreme Sell: 90% Sell: 80% Buy: 20% Extreme Buy: 10% You can customize these! Real-World Example Scenario: VIX Percentile jumps to 92% What this means: VIX is higher than 92% of all past readings Market is in panic mode Option premiums are INFLATED Trading Action: ✅ Sell covered calls on stocks you own ✅ Sell cash-secured puts on stocks you want to buy ✅ Sell credit spreads ❌ DON'T buy expensive options right now Why it works: When fear is extreme, it usually calms down eventually. You profit as premiums deflate. Important Reminders ⚠️ This is a TIMING tool, not a crystal ball It tells you WHEN premiums are expensive/cheap It doesn't tell you WHICH options to trade You still need proper risk management ⚠️ Works on ALL timeframes Daily charts = swing trading Weekly charts = position trading Intraday charts = day trading volatility ⚠️ Best for: Option sellers during high VIX (>80%) Option buyers during low VIX (<20%) Portfolio hedging decisions Volatility trading strategies Bottom Line: This script helps you buy options when they're cheap and sell options when they're expensive. It's like shopping for sales, but for volatility! DISCLAIMER: This information is provided for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial, investment, or trading advice.

Account GuardianAccount Guardian: Dynamic Risk/Reward Overlay Introduction Account Guardian is an open-source indicator for TradingView designed to help traders evaluate trade setups before entering positions. It automatically calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios based on market structure, displays visual Stop Loss and Take Profit zones, and provides real-time position sizing recommendations. The indicator addresses a fundamental question every trader should ask before entering a trade: "Does this setup make mathematical sense?" Account Guardian answers this question visually and numerically, helping traders avoid impulsive entries with poor risk profiles. Core Functionality Account Guardian performs four primary functions: Detects swing highs and swing lows to identify logical stop loss placement levels Calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios for both long and short setups in real-time Displays visual SL/TP zones on the chart for immediate trade planning Computes position sizing based on your account size and risk tolerance The goal is to provide traders with instant feedback on whether a potential trade meets their minimum risk/reward criteria before committing capital. How It Works Swing Detection The indicator uses pivot point detection to identify recent swing highs and swing lows on the chart. These swing points serve as logical areas for stop loss placement: For Long Trades: The most recent swing low becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking below this level would invalidate the bullish thesis. For Short Trades: The most recent swing high becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking above this level would invalidate the bearish thesis. The swing detection lookback period is configurable, allowing you to adjust sensitivity based on your trading timeframe and style. It automatically adjusts the tp and sl when it is applied to your chart so it is always moving up and down! Risk/Reward Calculation Once swing levels are identified, the indicator calculates: Entry Price: Current close price (where you would enter) Stop Loss: Recent swing low (for longs) or swing high (for shorts) Risk: Distance from entry to stop loss Take Profit: Entry plus (Risk × Target Multiplier) R:R Ratio: Reward divided by Risk The R:R ratio is then evaluated against your configured thresholds to determine if the setup is valid, marginal, or poor. Visual Elements SL/TP Zones When enabled, the indicator draws colored boxes on the chart showing: Red Zone: Stop Loss area - the region between your entry and stop loss Green/Gold/Red Zone: Take Profit area - colored based on R:R quality The color coding provides instant visual feedback: Green: R:R meets or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold (default 3:1) Gold: R:R meets minimum threshold but below "Good" (between 2:1 and 3:1) Red: R:R below minimum threshold - setup should be avoided Swing Point Markers Small circles mark detected swing points on the chart: Green circles: Swing lows (potential support / long SL levels) Red circles: Swing highs (potential resistance / short SL levels) Dashboard Panel The dashboard in the top-right corner displays comprehensive trade planning information: R:R Row: Current Risk-to-Reward ratio for long and short setups Status Row: VALID, OK, BAD, or N/A based on R:R thresholds Stop Loss Row: Exact price level for stop loss placement Take Profit Row: Exact price level for take profit placement Pos Size Row: Recommended position size based on your risk parameters Risk $ Row: Dollar amount at risk per trade Position Sizing Logic The indicator calculates position size using the formula: Position Size = Risk Amount / Risk per Unit Where: Risk Amount = Account Size × (Risk Percentage / 100) Risk per Unit = Entry Price - Stop Loss Price For example, with a $10,000 account risking 1% per trade ($100), if your entry is at 100 and stop loss at 98 (risk of 2 per unit), your position size would be 50 units. Input Parameters Swing Detection: Swing Lookback: Number of bars to look back for pivot detection (default: 10). Higher values find more significant swing points but may be slower to update. Target Multiplier: Multiplier applied to risk to calculate take profit distance (default: 2). A value of 2 means TP is 2× the distance of SL from entry. Risk/Reward Thresholds: Minimum R:R: Minimum acceptable Risk-to-Reward ratio (default: 2.0). Setups below this show as "BAD" in red. Good R:R: Threshold for excellent setups (default: 3.0). Setups at or above this show as "VALID" in green. Account Settings: Account Size ($): Your trading account size in dollars (default: 10,000). Used for position sizing calculations. Risk Per Trade (%): Percentage of account to risk per trade (default: 1.0%). Professional traders typically risk 0.5-2% per trade. Display: Show SL/TP Zones: Toggle visibility of the colored zone boxes on chart (default: enabled) Show Dashboard: Toggle visibility of the information panel (default: enabled) Analyze Direction: Choose to analyze Long only, Short only, or Both directions (default: Both) How to Use This Indicator Basic Workflow: Add the indicator to your chart Configure your account size and risk percentage in the settings Set your minimum and good R:R thresholds based on your trading rules Look at the dashboard to see current R:R for potential long and short entries Only consider trades where the status shows "VALID" or at minimum "OK" Use the displayed SL and TP levels for your order placement Use the position size recommendation to determine lot/contract size Interpreting the Dashboard: VALID (Green): Excellent setup - R:R meets your "Good" threshold. This is the ideal scenario for taking a trade. OK (Gold): Acceptable setup - R:R meets minimum but isn't optimal. Consider taking if other confluence factors align. BAD (Red): Poor setup - R:R below minimum threshold. Avoid this trade or wait for better entry. N/A (Gray): Cannot calculate - usually means no valid swing point detected yet. Best Practices: Use this indicator as a filter, not a signal generator. It tells you IF a trade makes sense, not WHEN to enter. Combine with your existing entry strategy - use Account Guardian to validate setups from other analysis. Adjust the swing lookback based on your timeframe. Lower timeframes may need smaller lookback values. Be honest with your account size input - accurate position sizing requires accurate inputs. Consider the target multiplier carefully. Higher multipliers mean larger potential reward but lower probability of hitting TP. Alerts The indicator includes four alert conditions: Good Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold Good Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold Bad Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R falls below your minimum threshold Bad Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R falls below your minimum threshold These alerts can help you monitor multiple charts and get notified when favorable setups appear. Technical Implementation The indicator is built using Pine Script v6 and includes: Pivot-based swing detection using ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() Dynamic box drawing for visual SL/TP zones Table-based dashboard for clean information display Color-coded visual feedback system Persistent variable tracking for swing levels Code Structure: // Swing Detection float swingHi = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLen, swingLen) float swingLo = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLen, swingLen) // R:R Calculation for Long float longSL = recentSwingLo float longRisk = entry - longSL float longTP = entry + (longRisk * targetMult) float longRR = (longTP - entry) / longRisk // Position Sizing float riskAmount = accountSize * (riskPct / 100) float posSize = riskAmount / longRisk Limitations The indicator uses historical swing points which may not always represent optimal SL placement for your specific strategy Position sizing assumes you can trade fractional units - adjust accordingly for instruments with minimum lot sizes R:R calculations assume linear price movement and don't account for gaps or slippage The indicator doesn't predict price direction - it only evaluates the mathematical viability of a setup Swing detection has inherent lag due to the lookback period required for pivot confirmation Recommended Settings by Trading Style Scalping (1-5 minute charts): Swing Lookback: 5-8 Target Multiplier: 1-2 Minimum R:R: 1.5 Good R:R: 2.0 Day Trading (15-60 minute charts): Swing Lookback: 8-12 Target Multiplier: 2 Minimum R:R: 2.0 Good R:R: 3.0 Swing Trading (4H-Daily charts): Swing Lookback: 10-20 Target Multiplier: 2-3 Minimum R:R: 2.5 Good R:R: 4.0 Why Risk/Reward Matters Many traders focus solely on win rate, but profitability depends on the combination of win rate AND risk/reward ratio. Consider these scenarios: 50% win rate with 1:1 R:R = Breakeven (before costs) 50% win rate with 2:1 R:R = Profitable 40% win rate with 3:1 R:R = Profitable 60% win rate with 1:2 R:R = Losing money Account Guardian helps ensure you only take trades where the math works in your favor, even if you're wrong more often than you're right.
