Daily/Weekly Swing Highs-Lows + Candle PatternsDescription Daily/Weekly Swing Highs-Lows + Candle Patterns This indicator plots the most recent Daily and Weekly Swing Highs and Lows (key support/resistance levels) using a simple and effective logic: a swing high/low is confirmed when the previous bar's extreme is higher/lower than both the current and the one before it. Features: • Daily Swing Highs/Lows (teal/maroon circles) – toggleable • Weekly Swing Highs/Lows (blue/purple circles) – optional • Visual separators for new daily and weekly bars (light background color) • Daily candle pattern labels (optional): - US = Up Swing (strong bullish continuation) - DS = Down Swing (strong bearish continuation) - IN = Inside Bar - OUT = Outside Bar • Daily close position labels (optional): - P = Positive (close in upper 25% of the range) - mP = minor Positive (50–75%) - mN = minor Negative (25–50%) - N = Negative (lower 25%) All elements are fully customizable (colors, visibility) and work on any timeframe. Best suited for intraday timeframes (1 min to 4 hours) where daily and weekly key levels provide important context for price action and reversals. The optional "Trading session length" input is mainly useful for markets with shorter sessions (e.g., European indices) and does not affect swing detection. Open-source, free to use and modify. How to Use the Indicator + Practical Use Case Key Settings (Inputs) Trading session length (hours) → Default 8.5 h (useful for FTSEMIB, DAX, etc.). Leave it as is unless you trade a market with a different session length. Daily Swing Levels → Show/Hide daily swing highs (teal) and lows (maroon). Weekly Swing Levels → Usually keep off on intraday charts to avoid clutter (turn on for higher-timeframe context). Daily Candle Patterns → Enable only if you want to see US/DS/IN/OUT labels on the daily close. Close Position (P/mP/mN/N) → Enable if you want to quickly see how strong/weak the daily close was. What You See on the Chart Teal circles = Last confirmed daily swing high (resistance). Maroon circles = Last confirmed daily swing low (support). Blue/purple circles (if enabled) = Weekly swing high/low. Light gray background = Start of a new trading day. Purple background (if weekly enabled) = Start of a new week. Small labels on daily close (if enabled): - US = strong bullish day - DS = strong bearish day - IN = inside bar (consolidation) - OUT = outside bar (expansion) - P/mP/mN/N = how far the close was from the high/low of the day. Best Timeframes 1 min to 240 min charts → Daily levels act as major support/resistance zones for intraday trading. Avoid using on daily or higher charts (the logic is designed for intraday context). Why this works well intraday: The daily swing high/low levels are high-probability zones where institutions and algorithms often defend positions. On intraday charts, they act as “magnets” for price, giving you clean entries and exits with clear invalidation levels. This indicator keeps your chart clean while providing exactly the context most intraday traders need: key daily levels + daily momentum context.

S_Sigma HTF Candles (UTC Draw / NY Labels)🕯️ S_Sigma HTF Candles (UTC Draw / NY Labels) Multi-Timeframe Overlay with Session Labels & Imbalances S_Sigma HTF Candles is a powerful, non-repainting overlay indicator that allows you to visualize up to 6 different Higher Timeframes (HTF) directly on your current chart. Designed specifically for traders who need context without switching tabs, this tool draws accurate HTF candles using UTC time (standard for Crypto) while labeling them with New York Timezone data (standard for Stocks/Forex). It also detects Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume Imbalances automatically. 🌟 Key Features 📊 6 Independent HTF Slots Configure up to 6 different timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W). Each slot is customizable and can be toggled on/off independently. 🌍 UTC Drawing + NY Labels (The "Sigma" Edge) Drawing: Candles are calculated strictly using UTC time to ensure wicks and bodies match exchange data (perfect for BTC/ETH). Labels: Day of the Week (Mon/Tue/Wed) and Time labels are converted to America/New_York time. Never get confused by candle closes again. #HTF Countdown Timer** See exactly how much time is left until the Higher Timeframe candle closes. Essential for timing entries at the "Candle Close." 📈 Smart Imbalance Detection FVG (Fair Value Gaps): Automatically highlights 3-candle reversal gaps. VI (Volume Imbalance): Highlights wicks that pierce previous bodies. 🏗️ Custom Session Starts Don't like the standard Daily candle? Force the Daily candle to open at 08:30 NY or 09:30 NY (Market Open) instead of Midnight UTC. ⚙️ Customization Options Visuals: Full control over Bull/Bear colors, borders, wicks, and opacity. Layout: Adjust padding, width, and spacing between timeframes to prevent overlap. Trace Lines: Optional lines tracing the Open, High, Low, and Close of the forming HTF candle. Labels: Toggle HTF names, Timers, and Day-of-Week labels on/off. 💡 How to Use Add to Chart: The indicator draws candles to the right of the current price (offset) to keep your chart clean. Check Alignment: Ensure the "Daily Name" matches your expected market session (NY Time). Spot Entries: Look for price entering an FVG (Gray box) or hitting a HTF Support/Resistance level (Wick of the HTF candle). Time Entries: Wait for the Timer to hit 00:00 for a confirmed candle close. Perfect for: Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, Wyckoff, and Multi-Timeframe Analysis.

ARM-EMA TREND BARSPrice action trading is about reading what the market is doing, so you can deploy the right trading strategy to reap the maximum benefits. In simple words, price action is a trading technique in which a trader reads the market and makes subjective trading decisions based on the price movements, rather than relying on technical indicators or other factors. At its most simplistic, it attempts to describe the human thought processes invoked by experienced, non-disciplinary traders as they observe and trade their markets. Price action is simply how prices change - the action of price. It is most noticeable in markets with high liquidity and price volatility, but anything that is traded freely (in price) in a market will per se demonstrate price action.

Market Pressure Regime [Interakktive]The Market Pressure Regime (MPR) is a 4-state market classifier that models how structural forces create "pressure zones" — regions where price movement is either supported (Release) or suppressed (Pinned) by market microstructure. It combines compression analysis, follow-through efficiency, and stress detection into a composite pressure score, classifying markets into Release, Suppressed, Transition, or Trap states — helping traders understand WHY price is moving (or not moving) in the current environment. █ USAGE MPR addresses a core question traders face: Is the market in a regime where directional moves are likely to follow through, or is it structurally pinned? For swing traders, MPR identifies Release phases where momentum strategies work best, and Suppressed phases where mean reversion dominates. For day traders, it highlights Trap conditions — high effort with no follow-through — where reversals are probable and trend entries fail. 🔹 The 4-State Model The indicator classifies markets into four distinct regimes: • Release (Teal): Pressure score ≥ +5. Directional flow dominates. Price moves efficiently with follow-through. Favor trend continuation. • Suppressed (Grey): Pressure score ≤ -5. Compression dominates. Price is range-bound or pinned. Fade extremes, expect reversion. • Transition (Amber): Score between thresholds OR instability detected. Regime is uncertain — wait for confirmation before committing. • Trap (Magenta): High stress + low follow-through. Effort without result. Expect reversals. 🔹 Reading the Pressure Histogram The histogram displays the composite Pressure Score (range approximately -100 to +100): • Positive values: Follow-through exceeds compression. Market is "releasing" — directional moves are supported. • Negative values: Compression exceeds follow-through. Market is "suppressed" — price movement is constrained. • Color reflects confirmed state: The histogram uses persistence filtering — a state must hold for N bars before the color changes, preventing false signals from noise. 🔹 The 5-Stage Calculation MPR synthesizes five analytical stages into the final state: 1. Compression Score: Measures how tight the current range is relative to ATR. High compression suggests structural forces are pinning price. 2. Follow-Through Score: Measures price path efficiency (MER-style). Efficient moves indicate genuine directional flow, not chop. 3. Stress Score: Detects effort-without-result (ERD-style). High volume or range with no price progress = absorption. 4. Composite Pressure: Combines follow-through and compression into a single directional score. 5. Persistence Filter: Requires states to hold for configurable bars before confirming, eliminating flickering. █ SETTINGS Core Settings • ATR Length: Period for volatility normalization. Default 14. • Baseline Lookback: Period for compression and efficiency baselines. Default 20. • Volume Average Length: Period for stress calculation baseline. Default 20. State Classification • Release Threshold: Pressure score above this = Release. Default +5. • Suppressed Threshold: Pressure score below this = Suppressed. Default -5. • Trap Threshold: Stress score above this (with low follow-through) = Trap. Default 30. • Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change. Default 3. • Stability Lookback: Period for stability calculation. Default 20. • Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition state. Default 0.5. Visual Settings • Show Pressure Histogram: Display the main pressure score histogram. • Show Zero Line: Display the zero reference line. • Show Background Tint: Subtle background color by state (default OFF). Data Window • Show Data Window Values: Export all calculated scores for analysis. █ INTERPRETATION GUIDE When to Use Trend Strategies (Release): • Histogram tall and positive • Teal coloring confirmed • Price making efficient higher highs or lower lows When to Use Mean Reversion (Suppressed): • Histogram flat or negative • Grey coloring confirmed • Price oscillating without follow-through When to Wait (Transition): • Amber coloring • Mixed signals — don't force trades • Wait for state to resolve When to Expect Reversals (Trap): • Magenta coloring • High volume moves that don't stick • Often occurs at structural inflection points █ COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS MPR pairs well with: • Volatility State Index (VSI) — Confirms whether volatility is expanding into the pressure regime • Effort-Result Divergence (ERD) — Provides bar-by-bar absorption/vacuum detection • Market Efficiency Ratio (MER) — Validates follow-through quality █ SUITABLE MARKETS Works across all liquid markets: • Equities: SPY, QQQ, liquid single stocks • Futures: ES, NQ, CL, GC • Crypto: BTC, ETH • Forex: Major pairs Works on any timeframe, but 1H–Daily provides cleanest regime classification. Intraday (5m–15m) useful for session-level tactical decisions. █ OPEN SOURCE This indicator is open-source for educational purposes. Review the code to understand the full calculation methodology. █ DISCLAIMER This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own analysis and use proper risk management.

Volume ROC (smoothed)Description The Volume ROC (Rate of Change) indicator is designed to measure the momentum of trading volume over a user-defined period, adjusted for the trading session length of the symbol (e.g., 8.5 hours for the FTSEMIB index). This makes it particularly useful for intraday charts where standard daily calculations might not align with actual trading days. By focusing on volume changes rather than price, it helps identify potential shifts in market participation, such as accumulation, distribution, or unusual activity that could precede price movements. How It Works: Session Adjustment: The indicator calculates the number of candles per trading day based on the input session duration (in hours) and the chart's timeframe. This ensures that the ROC and other calculations are based on "trading days" rather than calendar days, making it adaptable to markets with non-standard hours like European indices (e.g., FTSEMIB). Daily Data Fetch: It retrieves daily high, low, close, and volume data using "request.security" to ensure consistency across timeframes. ROC Calculation: The Rate of Change (ROC) is computed on volume using "ta.change" over the specified length (in days), multiplied by the candles-per-day factor for timeframe independence. By chosing the subtraction method instead of the division method we avoid distortions of the ROC below the zero line (method ok for timespans inferior to two years). Smoothing with SMA: A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to the ROC to reduce noise and highlight trends in volume momentum. Standard Deviation Bands: The standard deviation of the smoothed ROC is calculated over a lookback period. Bands are plotted at +2σ (overbought) and -2σ (oversold) to provide context for extreme volume changes, similar to Bollinger Bands but applied to volume ROC. Key Plots: SMA Line (Orange): The smoothed ROC value. Positive values indicate increasing volume momentum; negative values suggest decreasing momentum. Zero Line (Black Dotted): A reference line at 0, separating positive and negative ROC territories. +2σ Band (Red Dotted): Upper overbought threshold. Crossings above this may signal excessive buying volume. -2σ Band (Green Dotted): Lower oversold threshold. Dips below this could indicate capitulation or low interest. Usage and Interpretation: Trend Confirmation: Use the SMA crossing above/below zero to confirm price trends with volume backing. For example, a rising price with positive Volume ROC suggests strong conviction. Divergences: Look for divergences between price and Volume ROC (e.g., price making new highs but ROC weakening), which can signal reversals. Overbought/Oversold Signals: The ±2σ bands act as dynamic levels. Volume ROC spiking above +2σ might precede pullbacks, while below -2σ could indicate buying opportunities. Best Applied To: European indices (like FTSEMIB or DAX), stocks, or futures with defined session hours. Test on intraday (e.g., 2h) and combine with price-based indicators like RSI or MACD for confluence. Customization: Adjust the ROC/SMA lengths for sensitivity (shorter for scalping, longer for swings). The STDEV lookback affects band width—longer periods create smoother bands. Limitations: Volume data can be noisy in low-liquidity symbols. This indicator assumes consistent session lengths; irregular holidays may affect accuracy. Always backtest and use with risk management. This indicator is original and built for educational/trading purposes.

llama fixed-length moving averages [SMA, WMA]Llama Moving Averages I needed moving averages on my charts, but I wanted them hardcoded based on the following values: timframe --- MA length Daily --- 20D (==1 trading month) Weekly --- 30W (30W moving averages for assessing long term trends) 15m --- 1W (or 5 days) Two averages: EMA and WMA: fast moving and slow moving based on closes. In addition to this, I needed the following things: 1. MAs ONLY on 15m, 1D and 1W timeframes. 2. Consistent colors. 3. for 15m chart, we want a 5D SMA, so 1D = 15m * 25(±1); times 5; 25*5 = 125 4. Option to configure different values for the daily chart, since I trade the daily chart. Defaults: 20. If you were looking for something similar, enjoy!

TuxAlgo Plus a SMC and Trap Toolkit V0.98r1 by McTogaThe “TuxAlgo Plus” script is a powerful, standalone, conceptual open-source project and self-sufficient “smart money toolkit” with automatic trap detection (SMT), liquidity grabs, FVG confluence, and complete bot setup signals for TV charts in the “H1 to H6” time frame and daily charts. The script is used to improve SMC/trap analyses, i.e., the structure and visualization logic for TradingView charts have been expanded in the “TuxAlgo++” project in line with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). The SMT block (“Smart Money Traps”) supplements classic smart money concepts with: 1. Detection of bull traps (short setups) and bear traps (long setups) 2. Display of trap boxes in the chart (liquidity grab areas) 3. A bot setup box (table) with ready-made entry/SL/TP levels: as well as age in bars & days and “Valid until ~X d” (remaining term) SMT / bot setup only run on the following timeframes: - H1, H2, H3, H4, H6 This means that traps, labels, and the bot setup box are only displayed on these timeframes Trap definition “Bull Trap (Short Setup)”: - Valid swing high - Swing trend bullish - High (Wick) pierces above the swing high (Liquidity Grab) - Close falls back below the swing high (false breakout) -> Result: Short setup (bull trap), marked in orange Trap definition “Bear Trap (long setup)”: - Valid swing low - Swing trend bearish - Low (wick) pierces below the swing low (liquidity grab) - Close rises above the swing low again (false breakout) -> Result: Long setup (bear trap), marked in blue Entry / SL / TP calculation A price range is taken for each trap: Bull trap (short): - Range = - Entry = point within this range: Entry = hiBT - (hiBT - loBT) * TrapEntryRatio (0..1) -> 0.0 = at the Wick extreme, 0.5 = middle, 1.0 = at the Swing level - SL = Wick extreme (upper edge of the trap) - Risk = |Entry - SL| - TP1 = Entry - R1 * Risk - TP2 = Entry - R2 * Risk Bear Trap (Long): - Range = - Entry analogous within the range according to TrapEntryRatio - SL = wick bottom (lower edge of the trap) - Risk = |Entry - SL| - TP1 = Entry + R1 * Risk - TP2 = Entry + R2 * Risk R1 / R2 correspond to the inputs: - botRR1Input = TP1 Risk/Reward (e.g., 1.5R) - botRR2Input = TP2 Risk/Reward (e.g., 3.0R) Age & Validity Each trap stores: - lastTrapBarIndex -> last bar of the trap - Age in bars -> bar_index - lastTrapBarIndex - Age in days (~d) -> AgeBars * BarDurationInDays (depending on TF) Input: trapMaxAgeBars determines how long a trap is valid. The bot setup box is only displayed if: - a trap is present, - AgeBars <= trapMaxAgeBars, - SMT + Box + SMC timeframe are active. Color logic (color blind friendly): - Blue (accentBlue) = fresh traps (Age <= 1/3 MaxAge) - Orange (accentOrange) = medium age - Violet (accentPurple) = old, but still within MaxAge - Gray (accentGray) = expired (> MaxAge) The box also shows “Valid until ~X d” as the remaining term. Day/Night Mode & Colors - chart.bg_color is used to detect dark or light mode. - Text/background colors adjust (light/dark). - Accent colors (blue/orange/purple/gray) are suitable for red/green color blindness. - Trap labels in the chart: - Bull trap label = orange (short setup) - Bear trap label = blue (long setup) - Text color depends on chart mode (dark/light) Typical workflow (example): 1. Select a suitable symbol & SMC timeframe (e.g., H4 or H6). 2. Wait for a bull trap (short) or bear trap (long). 3. Read in the bot setup box: - Direction (long/short) - Entry, SL, TP1, TP2 - Age & “Valid until ~X d” 4. These values can be used as a template for manual trading or external bot/order systems. 5. Position size & leverage must always be calculated separately in your own risk management (e.g., 2% rule). This script does not calculate position sizes.

Volatility State Index [Interakktive]The Volatility State Index (VSI) classifies market volatility into three behavioral states: Expansion, Decay, and Transition. It answers one question visually: Is volatility supporting price movement, withdrawing, or unstable? Unlike traditional volatility indicators that show levels or bands, VSI diagnoses the current volatility regime so traders can adapt their approach accordingly. █ WHAT IT DOES • Classifies volatility into three states: Expansion (teal), Decay (grey), Transition (amber) • Measures volatility momentum as a percentage rate-of-change • Applies stability filtering to detect unstable/choppy conditions • Uses persistence logic to prevent state flickering • Exports state data for use in alerts and strategies █ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • NO buy/sell signals • NO entry/exit recommendations • NO alerts (v1 is diagnostic only) • NO performance claims This is a volatility diagnostic tool, not a trading system. █ HOW IT WORKS The VSI processes volatility through a five-stage pipeline: STAGE 1 — Base Volatility Calculates ATR as the foundation for volatility measurement. STAGE 2 — Smoothing Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise in the volatility series. STAGE 3 — Volatility Momentum Computes the percentage rate-of-change of smoothed volatility: Volatility Momentum (%) = ((Current ATR - Previous ATR) / Previous ATR) × 100 Positive values indicate expanding volatility; negative values indicate contracting volatility. STAGE 4 — Stability Filter Tracks how frequently volatility momentum changes direction. Frequent sign changes indicate unstable, choppy conditions. Stability Score = 1 - (Average Flip Rate) Low stability forces the Transition state regardless of momentum level. STAGE 5 — State Classification Combines momentum thresholds and stability to determine the final state: • Expansion: Momentum ≥ +5% (default threshold) • Decay: Momentum ≤ -5% (default threshold) • Transition: Between thresholds OR low stability A persistence filter requires states to hold for multiple bars before confirming, preventing visual noise. █ INTERPRETATION EXPANSION (Teal) Volatility is increasing in a sustained way. Price moves are becoming larger. What it suggests: • Breakouts are more likely to follow through • Stops may need wider placement • Trend-following approaches tend to work better • Mean-reversion weakens DECAY (Grey) Volatility is decreasing. Price is compressing into tighter ranges. What it suggests: • Breakouts are more likely to fail • Ranges tend to hold • Trend-following underperforms • Mean-reversion strengthens TRANSITION (Amber) Volatility behavior is unclear or unstable. This is NOT neutral — it is uncertainty. What it suggests: • Mixed signals — one bar huge, next bar dead • Higher whipsaw risk • Reduced conviction in either direction • Consider waiting for clarity The key insight: Amber is a warning, not a middle ground. It appears when volatility cannot decide what it wants to do. █ VISUAL DESIGN The indicator uses a state-first histogram design: • Histogram height shows volatility momentum percentage • Histogram color shows the classified state • Zero line provides visual anchor • Optional momentum line for confirmation • Optional background tint (default OFF for clean charts) The visual hierarchy prioritizes instant state recognition. A trader should understand the volatility environment in under one second without reading numbers. █ INPUTS Core Settings • ATR Length: Base volatility measurement period (default: 14) • Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing applied to ATR (default: 10) • Momentum Length: Rate-of-change lookback (default: 10) State Classification • Expansion Threshold (%): Momentum above this = Expansion (default: 5.0) • Decay Threshold (%): Momentum below this = Decay (default: -5.0) • Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change (default: 3) • Stability Lookback: Window for stability calculation (default: 20) • Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition (default: 0.5) Visual Settings • Show State Histogram: Toggle main display (default: ON) • Show Momentum Line: Thin confirmation line (default: OFF) • Show Zero Line: Baseline reference (default: ON) • Show Background Tint: Subtle state coloring (default: OFF) █ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS When enabled, the following values are exported: • ATR (Raw) • ATR (Smoothed) • Volatility Momentum (%) • Stability Score (0-1) • State (-1/0/1): Decay = -1, Transition = 0, Expansion = 1 • Is Expansion (0/1) • Is Decay (0/1) • Is Transition (0/1) These exports allow VSI to be used as a filter in Pine Script strategies or alert conditions. █ ORIGINALITY While ATR and volatility indicators are common, VSI is original because it: 1. Classifies volatility into behavioral states rather than showing raw levels 2. Applies momentum analysis to volatility itself (rate-of-change of ATR) 3. Uses stability filtering to detect genuinely unstable conditions 4. Implements persistence logic to prevent state flickering 5. Provides a state-first visual design optimized for instant recognition VSI is state-first: it classifies volatility regimes (Expansion/Decay/Transition) rather than plotting volatility level alone, using momentum and stability to reduce false regime reads. This is not a modified ATR or Bollinger Band — it is a volatility regime classifier. █ SUITABLE MARKETS Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto Timeframes: All timeframes — state classification adapts accordingly Best on: Instruments with consistent volatility patterns █ RELATED • Market Efficiency Ratio — measures price path efficiency • Effort-Result Divergence — compares volume effort to price result █ DISCLAIMER This indicator is for educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own analysis before making trading decisions.

Heikin Ashi Wick Strategy 🔥 Heikin Ashi Wick Momentum Strategy “Trade momentum decay before the trend breaks. >> FOCUS ON WICKS, NOT ONLY CANDLE COLOR<< What Makes This Different (Traffic Driver) ✔ Uses Heikin Ashi wicks (almost nobody does this correctly) ✔ Captures trend continuation, not breakouts ✔ Exits before momentum collapse, not after ✔ Non-repainting ✔ Clean charts, instant readability This Strategy Is REALLY Trading This is a Heikin Ashi momentum-decay system: • Enters when trend is strong but not euphoric • Exits when: o Trend stops probing higher o Sellers gain relative strength It avoids: • Chasing strong breakout candles • Holding through momentum rollovers Candle Type Used: Heikin Ashi (manually calculated) NOTE: The script does not use regular candles. It reconstructs Heikin Ashi (HA) candles from raw OHLC: • HA Close = average of open, high, low, close • HA Open = midpoint of prior HA candle (smoothed) • HA High / Low = extremes of HA open/close vs real high/low ➡️ This filters noise and emphasizes trend structure and momentum. Strengths ✅ Works well in strong, smooth trends ✅ Very clean logic (no indicators) ✅ Non-repainting ✅ Early exits protect capital Best Use This works best on: • Daily timeframe • Strong trend ETFs / megacaps o QQQ o SPY o NVDA, MSFT, AAPL • When combined with: o EMA 21 trend filter (your preference) o Market regime filter (e.g., above 50/200 SMA) o Rising 10 EMA and 20 EMA ________________________________________ 8️⃣ Weaknesses (Important) ⚠️ No stop loss (only structure-based exits) ⚠️ Can exit too early in explosive trends ⚠️ Will chop in sideways markets ⚠️ No volatility filter (ATR, EMA, regime) How to Avoid the Weaknesses — Summary Turn the setup from a concept into a robust strategy by adding these controls: 1. Trade Only Trends o Require price above EMA-21 (optionally EMA-21 > EMA-50) o Eliminates chop and sideways markets 2. Improve Exits (Avoid Leaving Winners Too Early) o Partial exit when upper wick disappears o Full exit only when lower wick dominates o Optional: require 2 consecutive exit candles 3. Add Risk Protection o Use a volatility stop: ~1.5× ATR(14) below entry or below HA swing low o Protects against gaps and sudden reversals 4. Filter Weak Signals o Require meaningful wick size (≈30–40% of candle range) o Avoids low-quality indecision candles 5. Avoid Bad Volatility o Skip entries when ATR is expanding aggressively o Focus on calmer, controllable trends 6. Limit Time in Trade o Add a max bars hold (e.g., 10–15 bars on daily) o Prevents capital getting stuck in fading trends ⚠️ Educational use only. Not financial advice. Trading involves risk and losses can exceed expectations. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Use at your own risk.

Trend Consensus Engine [TCE]The Trend Consensus Engine (TCE) is a comprehensive market analysis system designed to filter out noise and provide a quantifiable "Trend Score" (0-100). Instead of relying on a single indicator, this script aggregates data from multiple market factors—volatility, momentum, and trend structure—to generate high-probability entry signals based on a consensus logic. This tool is particularly optimized for Crypto (with specific time-gated logic) and BIST (Borsa Istanbul) markets, allowing traders to see the overall health of the trend at a glance via a dashboard. How It Works The engine calculates a composite "Total Score" (0-100) derived from four weighted components: Trend Structure (AlphaTrend & Guppy): Analyzes the slope and position relative to the AlphaTrend (Credit to @KivancOzbilgic) and Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA). Positive slopes and price action above key levels add points to the score. Volatility & Momentum (Squeeze & ADX): Incorporates the Squeeze Momentum logic (Credit to @LazyBear) to detect explosive moves. ADX Filter: Filters out chopping/ranging markets. If the ADX is too low, the score is penalized or the signal is blocked. Dynamic Resistance (MA Channels): Uses a combination of Donchian Mid-Lines and SMAs to determine if the price is in a "safe zone" or hitting resistance. Price Action Filters (Pinbar Veto): Automatically detects bearish "Shooting Star" or weak candles at highs. If a bearish pinbar is detected, the entry signal is vetoed regardless of the trend score. Features & Settings Smart Scoring Dashboard: Displays the realtime Score, Instant Decision, and confirmed Close Decision on the chart. Market Profiles: Crypto Mode: Includes a "Time Gate" feature (07:00 UTC+3 check) to prevent fakeouts during low-liquidity hours. BIST Mode: Optimized parameters for the Turkish stock market logic (14:00 session checks). Score Threshold: Users can adjust the minimum score required (Default: 70) to trigger a "BUY" signal. Visual Guidance: The background of the dashboard changes color (Green/Red/Yellow) based on the consensus. How to Use Check the Dashboard: Look at the "SONUÇ" (Result) row. GİRİŞ ✅ (ENTRY): The Score is above 70, Momentum is positive, and no Bearish Pinbars are present. BEKLE ⏳ (WAIT): The trend is weak, or a filter (like ADX or Squeeze) is blocking the trade. Confirm with Price Action: Use the AlphaTrend lines (Blue/Red) as dynamic support/stop-loss levels.

BTC - BEAM: Adaptive Multiple (Open-Source)Title: BTC - BEAM: Adaptive Multiple Cycle Oscillator | RM Overview & Philosophy The BTC - BEAM (Bitcoin Economics Adaptive Multiple) is a premier macro-valuation tool designed to identify the "Logarithmic Pulse" of Bitcoin's 4-year cycles. Unlike standard oscillators that lose relevance as the network grows, BEAM uses an adaptive baseline that tracks Bitcoin’s fundamental growth curve with precision. It identifies the harmonic distance between the current price and its multi-year mean, helping you spot the rare windows of deep capitulation and terminal euphoria. Methodology This edition is a hardened, gap-proof and Open-Source implementation of the canonical BEAM model. 1. The 1400-Day Anchor (200 Weeks): The model is anchored to a 1400-day Simple Moving Average. On the Weekly chart, this aligns with the legendary 200-week moving average—the historical "floor" of the Bitcoin network. It represents one full halving cycle of data. 2. Daily-Lock Architecture: Even when viewed on the 1W chart, the script performs its calculations using Daily data. This ensures that the oscillator captures the exact peak day of a cycle, providing a "high-resolution" signal within a "low-noise" weekly environment. 3. Logarithmic Normalization: We calculate the natural logarithm of the price-to-mean relationship, scaled by a factor of 2.5: Score = ln(Price / 1400d MA) / 2.5 This creates a standardized "Multiple" that remains comparable across all Bitcoin eras. How to Read the Chart (1W Context) 🟧 The BEAM Line (Orange): Tracks the "macro heat" of the market. On the 1W chart, look for the slope of this line to identify cycle acceleration. 🔴 The Cycle Ceiling (Score > 1.0): Historical Cycle Tops. When the weekly candle sustains in this zone, the market has reached a state of unsustainable mania. Every major blow-off top has been captured in this red corridor. 🟢 The Cycle Floor (Score < 0.1): Generational Accumulation. On the 1W chart, these zones appear as extended "green troughs." These are the only times in history where Bitcoin is fundamentally "too cheap" relative to its 4-year trend. The Status Dashboard The bottom-right monitor provides immediate cycle classification: • BEAM Score: The exact logarithmic multiple. • Cycle Regime: ACCUMULATION , NEUTRAL , or OVERHEATED . Credits BitcoinEcon: For the original concept of the BEAM adaptive model. ⚠️ RECOMMENDATION: While this indicator captures daily data, it is strongly recommended to be viewed on the Weekly (1W) Timeframe. The 1W chart filters market noise and perfectly reveals the long-term "Cycle Narrative." Disclaimer This script is for research and educational purposes only. Macro indicators provide structural context; they are not crystal balls. Always manage your risk according to your personal financial plan.
