Indicators and strategies

ScalpDaddyPREMIUM OPTIONS TRADING, PRESENTS: ScalpDaddy, is a visual toolkit that helps you see where price is likely to react: liquidity pools, market structure shifts, daily/premarket levels, Fibonacci retracements/targets, and a compact multi‑timeframe status table. It is designed for discretionary traders. Use it to plan, not to predict. No signals are “buy/sell”; they’re context. Quick Start Add to chart → keep defaults. Watch the MTF table on the right: it tells you which timeframes are sitting in buy‑side (“BSL”), sell‑side (“SSL”), or both liquidity areas. Turn on “Fibonacci Levels” and “Levels: Day & Premarket” to frame the day. Wait for price to interact with a level (liquidity box, PMH/PML/HOD/LOD, or Fibonacci zone), then use your own trade plan for entries/exits. Set alerts only after you’ve chosen the timeframes and features you care about (see Alerts). What You’ll See Liquidity Pools (boxes): Areas around clustered swing highs/lows where stops often sit. Boxes expand to the right until fully broken. Gray = inactive/hidden, colored = active. When broken, they can fade or recolor (your choice). Market Structure (MSS/BOS): Optional labels and dotted lines to show shifts and break‑of‑structure. Useful for trend context and anchoring Fibs. Day & Premarket Levels: Lines for PMH/PML and the official daily HOD/LOD (today, previous day, and optional 2nd previous). Labels like “PMH”, “HOD” keep it beginner‑friendly. Note: these levels intentionally show on minute charts up to 4h to avoid clutter. Fibonacci Suite: Auto‑anchors from market structure or ZigZag swings, plus simple “Today Range” and “Previous Day Range” modes. Plots key retracements (38/50/62 highlighted) and optional targets. OTE zone (62–78.6) can be softly shaded for clarity. You can overlay a higher‑timeframe Fib for confluence. MTF Liquidity + Momentum Table: Eight rows (customizable timeframes). Each row shows: Liquidity status: BSL, SSL, or Both (price touching/straddling that TF’s pool/line). RSI/ADX heat cell: a simple emoji/colour cue for momentum and stretch on that TF. How To Use It (Beginner‑Friendly Flow) Frame the Session Turn on “Levels: Day & Premarket”. PMH/PML and HOD/LOD give you clean reference lines for the session narrative. If you trade US stocks, keep Premarket Session at 04:00–09:30 (exchange time). Adjust if your venue differs. Read the Table Look for clusters: several lower TFs all showing SSL (for dip‑buy setups) or BSL (for fade setups). “Both” means price is straddling both sides and may be choppy—slow down there. Use the RSI/ADX cell as a nudge, not a command. “Heat” hints where momentum is; warnings hint at potential exhaustion or churn. Add Fibonacci Context Start with “Auto (MSS)” so anchors follow structure. If swings feel too small/too big, try “ZigZag” or the Day/Prev Day options. The OTE shade highlights the classic pullback area. Targets can help you plan partials. Optional: turn on “Show Secondary Anchor” with a higher TF to see confluence. Focus Your Chart Leave “History Mode” on “Present” for speed; switch to “Full History” only when you need a full backtest view. If the chart looks busy, hide labels first, then reduce which modules are shown. Alerts Built‑in Conditions (set from TradingView’s Alerts panel): “BSL touch (any timeframe)” and “SSL touch (any timeframe)” fire when any selected TF in the table touches its pool/line. “Fibonacci touch” fires when price reaches one of your plotted Fib levels within your chosen tolerance. Direction Filter “Bullish Only” focuses on sell‑side liquidity touches (SSL) that can fuel upward moves. “Bearish Only” focuses on buy‑side liquidity touches (BSL) that can fuel downward moves. Tips Pick your timeframes first, then create the alert. If you want stricter Fib alerts, lower the “Alert Tolerance %”. Choose “Close” vs “High/Low Range” depending on how strict you are about confirmation. Key Settings To Tweak History Mode: “Present” = faster and draws recent context; “Full History” = full chart. Liquidity “Show Broken Pools/Lines” to keep invalidated pools visible in a different colour, or hide them to reduce noise. “# Visible Liq. boxes” limits clutter in one direction. Day & Premarket Levels “Use Group Colors” for a clean palette, or customize each line colour. Line Style/Width/Extend to fit your chart theme. Fibonacci Levels Anchor Mode: Auto (structure), ZigZag, Today Range, or Previous Day Range. “Min Leg Size (ATR multiples)” filters out tiny swings so your Fib doesn’t keep redrawing on noise. “Highlight Levels Inside Liquidity Pools” thickens lines that overlap a live pool—easy confluence. “Day Bias ATR Cushion” gently widens the day’s mid‑zone so bias doesn’t flip on tiny moves. MTF Liquidity Alerts Choose your 8 timeframes, how many zones to keep visible per TF, and whether touches use Close only or the full bar range. Troubleshooting “I don’t see PMH/PML or HOD/LOD.” Use minute charts up to 240 min (4h). Levels are intentionally limited to those to keep charts clean and fast. “My chart feels slow.” Keep History Mode = Present, reduce visible liquidity boxes, and hide labels you don’t need. “Fibonacci keeps moving.” Increase “Min Leg Size (ATR)” or use the Day/Prev Day anchor modes for steadier legs. Good Practices Plan first, execute second: wait for the candle close on your chosen TF if you want confirmation. Confluence beats single‑signal: pool + day level + Fib + acceptable momentum is better than any one alone. Record and review: keep screenshots and notes; small tweaks to tolerance and visibility can meaningfully improve clarity. Notes & Limits The tool avoids look‑ahead and uses confirmed data where appropriate, but anything based on live bars can update as a bar forms. Max lookback is limited for performance; very old lines may be trimmed automatically. Works across markets; premarket session times are exchange‑based—adjust for your venue.

ICT 369 Sniper MSS Indicator (HTF Bias) - H2LThis script is an ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept-based trading indicator designed to identify high-probability reversal or continuation setups, primarily focusing on intraday trading using a Higher Timeframe (HTF) directional bias. Here are the four core components of the indicator: Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bias Filter (Market Structure Shift - MSS): It determines the overall trend by checking if the current price has broken the most recent high or low swing point of a larger timeframe (e.g., 4H). This establishes a Bullish or Bearish bias, ensuring trades align with the dominant trend. Fair Value Gap (FVG) and OTE: It identifies price imbalances (FVGs) and calculates the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) levels (50%, 62%, 70.5%, etc.) within those gaps, looking for price to retrace into these specific areas. Kill Zones (Timing): It incorporates specific time windows (London and New York Kill Zones, based on NY Time) where institutional trading activity is high, only allowing entry signals during these defined periods. Signal and Targets: It triggers a Long or Short signal when all criteria are met (HTF Bias, FVG, OTE retracement, and Kill Zone timing). It then calculates and plots suggested trade levels, including a Stop Loss (SL) and three Take Profit targets (TP1, TP2, and a dynamic Runner Target based on the weekly Average True Range or ATR). In summary, it's a comprehensive tool for traders following ICT principles, automating the confluence check across trend, structure, liquidity, and timing.

Dark Pool Estimate Signal TrackerDark Pool Estimate Signal — Detect Potential Institutional Activity Overview The Dark Pool Signal v1.6 indicator is designed to detect unusual trading activity near VWAP zones, which can be associated with institutional dark pool transactions. By combining volume spikes, VWAP proximity, and optional trend filters, it provides clear visual cues of potential hidden accumulation or distribution zones. Disclaimer: This script is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. All trading involves risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results. 🔍 Core Logic This indicator identifies potential off-exchange activity by analyzing three key factors: Unusual Volume Spikes: Highlights bars where the current volume significantly exceeds its moving average by a user-defined multiplier. VWAP Proximity: Triggers when the price stays within a volatility-adjusted range (ATR-based) of the VWAP, a common characteristic of algorithmic execution. Trend Confirmation: An optional EMA filter helps align signals with the broader market direction. Accumulation Detection: Counts repeated signals within a lookback period to identify persistent institutional buying or selling pressure. The result is a set of visual and alert signals indicating possible institutional footprints. 🧩 Features Dynamic VWAP Range (ATR-based): Automatically adjusts VWAP proximity sensitivity based on current market volatility. Multi-tiered Signal Strength: Differentiates between Normal, Strong, and Accumulated signals to visualize the intensity of activity. Non-Repainting Confirmation: Signals are confirmed only on bar close to ensure they do not repaint. Language Support: Dual-language display (English / Korean). Customizable Visualization: Easily adjust label size, color transparency, offset, and the duration of highlighted zones. Smart Alert System (v1.6): Provides comprehensive alert() and alertcondition() calls for real-time push notifications. Recommended Timeframe Notice (v1.6): Displays a small on-chart note suggesting optimal timeframes for analysis. 🕒 Recommended Timeframes Type Recommended Use Description 1-Hour (default) Primary Analysis Offers a good balance between signal clarity and noise reduction. Ideal for most equities and ETFs. 30-Minute Short-term Confirmation Useful for intraday analysis and refining entry/exit points. Daily Macro View Helps identify long-term institutional positioning and potential trend reversal zones. < 15-Minute Experimental May generate excessive noise due to market micro-volatility. Not recommended for primary analysis. 💡 Tip: Combine 1H detection with Daily chart confirmation for a more robust, dual-layer view of institutional flow. 📊 Visualization Purple Diamonds: Strong or Normal Buy signals Red Diamonds: Strong or Normal Sell signals Translucent Boxes: Highlight the estimated duration of dark pool activity. Optional Labels: Display volume, VWAP delta, and signal strength for detailed analysis. All visual components can be toggled on or off in the settings. ⚙️ Alert System Create alerts for each specific signal type directly from the chart's alert menu or your script settings. ⚡ Strong Buy/Sell 📡 Accumulated Buy/Sell ⬆️ Normal Buy/Sell ➖ Neutral Activity (Volume spike near VWAP without clear direction) Set alert frequency to Once Per Bar Close for confirmed, non-repainting signals. 🧭 How to Use Add the indicator to your chart. Select your preferred language and timeframe. Customize visualization and alert settings to your preference. Observe how the combination of volume + VWAP + trend reveals potential accumulation or distribution zones. Use alerts to monitor for significant institutional activity in real-time. 🧠 Important Notes This indicator is non-repainting. Signals are confirmed at the close of each bar. It is intended for analytical and educational use, not as a direct trading system. It works across equities, ETFs, and crypto, but volume data reliability can vary by exchange. Always confirm signals with your own strategy and risk management.

VCP + TTM Squeeze Breakout Detection ToolThis open-source script combines two powerful concepts into a single breakout detection tool: 1. **VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern)** Based on Mark Minervini’s principle of structured volatility contraction. The script identifies low ATR environments combined with a strong trend filter using EMA 50, EMA 100, and EMA 200. A pivot high is fixed using a rolling high from the last X candles. 2. **TTM Squeeze (inspired by Beardy_Fred's Pro version)** This module compares Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels. When the Bollinger Bands fit inside the Keltner Channels, it signals volatility compression. The script classifies the squeeze intensity into four stages using colored dots: - **Green:** No squeeze - **Black:** Light compression - **Red:** Medium compression - **Orange:** Strong compression A linear momentum oscillator adds directional confirmation by plotting aqua bars above price if momentum is positive. --- ### **Signal Logic** - **Yellow Dots (Setup Potential)** Appear when VCP criteria are met **and** either momentum is bearish or the squeeze is still active (non-green). - **Green Dots (Breakout Active)** Appear only when: - Price breaks above pivot high - EMA filter is valid - Squeeze has resolved (green) - Volume is higher than the previous bar - Momentum is positive Breakout status is removed once volume AND true range drop below their respective short-term averages. --- ### **Visual Elements** - 3 EMA Lines: EMA 50 (blue), EMA 100 (orange), EMA 200 (red) - Pivot line (red), based on recent high - Colored squeeze state (dots at zero line) - Yellow dots (pre-breakout tension) - Green dots (confirmed breakout) - Aqua bars above price (momentum strength) --- **Note:** This script is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. No alerts included yet. No external dependencies. No embedded advertising. --- **License** Portions of the TTM Squeeze code are derived from “Beardy Squeeze Pro” and are used under the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0. www.mozilla.org

Delta Volume Signals by Claudio [hapharmonic]Modifications: Percentages without decimals. I replaced the 'Current Volume' row with two boxes: "Δ Vol" and its value, which changes color depending on the direction of the bearish/bullish candle. Signals can change color in the settings. Box spacing so the table doesn't constantly change size. To be modified: The Net Volume sign shouldn't change to negative when the candle is red. If anyone does this, let me know... claudio.ventola@hotmail.com Best regards!

Jasons Bullish Reversal DetectorThis bullish reversal detector is designed to spot higher-quality turning points instead of shallow bounces. At its core, it looks for candles closing above the 20-period SMA, a MACD bullish crossover, and RSI strength above 50. On top of that, it layers in “depth” filters: price must reclaim and retest a long-term baseline (like the 200-period VWMA), momentum should confirm with RSI and +DI leading, short-term EMAs need to slope upward, and conditions like overheated ATR or strong downside ADX will block false signals. When all of these align, the script flags a depth-confirmed bullish reversal, aiming to highlight spots where structure, momentum, and volatility all support a sustainable shift upward.

Session Top Bars — Equities Sessions (Asia / London / US) — MelbA minimal, non-obstructive session overlay that draws thin top bars for the Asia, London, and US equity sessions on any chart and timeframe. Designed to stay out of the way while giving instant session context—perfect for crypto, indices, futures, and stocks. Default sessions (AEDT / Australia-Melbourne): Asia: 10:00 → 17:45 London: 18:00 → 23:30 US: 23:00 → 07:00 (Weekends on by default for crypto; turn off for equities.) Why it’s different Top-only bands (no heavy background shading) so price action stays readable. Asset-agnostic: works on any symbol/candlestick. Adaptive top placement: hugs the top of the visible price area without distorting autoscale. Session labels appear once at each session start, right on the strip (optional). Inputs Timezone: choose your clock (default Australia/Melbourne). Show weekends: on for crypto, off for stocks. Intraday-only: hide the overlay on 1D+ if you prefer. Session windows: edit HHMM-HHMM for Asia / UK / US. Colors & thickness: tweak gap from top, band thickness, and label size. Tips If the strip feels a touch low/high on your layout, nudge Gap below chart top or Band thickness. To reduce small shifts when new extremes print, increase Recent range length (bars). Use cases Quickly spot which session drove a move. Align entries/exits to cash session volatility (e.g., NYSE open). Compare behavior across assets with a unified session view. Notes Times reflect equity session focus in AEDT by default; adjust to your needs. For FX-style windows, just edit the session inputs. Credits Built from community feedback for a clean, professional session overlay.
