Trend Strength TableThis strategy is a time-in-trend awareness and exhaustion framework rather than a directional signal by itself. It uses a Hull Moving Average–based trend definition to continuously identify whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase, then measures how long that trend typically lasts by averaging the durations of recent historical trends in the same direction. As a new trend unfolds, the system tracks how many bars have already closed and compares that progress against the trend’s historical “probable length.” The result is a live, adaptive estimate of where the current move sits within its natural life cycle, independent of price targets or indicators like RSI or MACD. The real edge comes from contextual trade management. By converting elapsed trend time into a percentage of the probable trend length, the table classifies the move into Strong, Medium, Declining, or Exhaustion phases. Early stages (Strong/Medium) favor continuation trades and holding winners, while later stages (Declining/Exhaustion) warn against chasing momentum and instead encourage scaling out, tightening stops, or looking for reversal and mean-reversion setups. In practice, this strategy acts as a risk-timing overlay—helping traders decide when to press, when to be patient, and when to stand down—rather than telling them what direction to trade. LONG TRADE RULES (Bullish Trend) ✅ Long Entry Recommendations Only consider longs when the table shows a Bullish trend. Best entry zones by Trend Strength: Strong (< 25%) ✅ Best continuation entries Enter on: First pullback to VWAP / 9–20 EMA Bullish engulfing candle ORB continuation Bias: Aggressive size allowed Expect expansion Medium (25%–50%) ✅ Still valid, but be selective Enter on: Higher low + strong close Break-and-hold above key level Bias: Normal size Avoid chasing extended candles Declining (50%–75%) ⚠️ Late trend Only enter if: Tight consolidation breakout Strong volume confirmation Bias: Reduced size Faster profit-taking Exhaustion (> 75%) ❌ No new longs Trend is statistically mature Look for: Failed breakouts Bearish rejection candles 🎯 Long Exit Rules Partial exits Take first scale at 50%–75% Full exit Mandatory by Exhaustion Stop management Strong/Medium → structure-based stop Declining → tighten aggressively Hard rule Do not hold longs once trend flips bearish SHORT TRADE RULES (Bearish Trend) ✅ Short Entry Recommendations Only consider shorts when the table shows a Bearish trend. Best entry zones by Trend Strength: Strong (< 25%) ✅ Best short continuation zone Enter on: Failed bounce into resistance VWAP / EMA rejection ORB breakdown Bias: Aggressive size allowed Medium (25%–50%) ✅ Good continuation, slower Enter on: Lower high confirmation Breakdown after consolidation Bias: Normal size Declining (50%–75%) ⚠️ Trend is aging Only enter: On clean breakdowns With defined risk Bias: Reduced size Exhaustion (> 75%) ❌ No new shorts Expect: Short-covering Dead-cat bounces Reversal attempts 🎯 Short Exit Rules Partial exits Begin scaling out at 50%–75% Full exit Required at Exhaustion Stop management Strong/Medium → above lower high Declining → tight trailing stop Hard rule Cover all shorts if trend flips bullish 🔥 Power Rules (Do NOT break these) Never open new trades in Exhaustion Strong = press, Declining = protect Trend strength dictates size, not conviction Direction comes from trend, timing comes from price

HeikenAshi Trend Lite [SolQuant]The HeikenAshi Trend Lite indicator displays double-smoothed Heikin-Ashi candles on the current timeframe as a trend overlay. By applying two passes of EMA smoothing to Heikin-Ashi calculations, it filters out market noise to reveal clean trend direction. This is the free version of HeikenAshi Trend , providing the core double-smoothed HA trend visualization on a single timeframe without the multi-timeframe overlays available in the full version. █ USAGE Reading the Trend The indicator draws a filled ribbon representing the smoothed Heikin-Ashi body. When the smoothed HA close is above the smoothed HA open, the ribbon is bullish. When below, it is bearish. The body uses a semi-transparent fill, while the wick range is drawn with a lighter shade, creating a layered visual. Color changes represent confirmed trend shifts after double smoothing has absorbed enough price data. This filtering eliminates most false signals from choppy conditions. █ DETAILS The calculation follows three steps: 1 — EMA smoothing of raw OHLC values 2 — Heikin-Ashi transformation of the smoothed values 3 — Second EMA pass on the resulting HA values This double-smoothing approach reduces noise effectively while maintaining less lag than equivalent single-pass smoothing with very long periods. █ SETTINGS • EMA Length: Period for the first EMA smoothing pass (default: 10). • Smoothing Length: Period for the second EMA pass (default: 10). • Bullish / Bearish Color: Customizable trend colors. • Show Candles: Display traditional HA candle bodies alongside the ribbon. This indicator uses synthetic Heikin-Ashi values that do not represent actual traded prices. It does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Strat + 50% Rule TheSTRAT, a niche yet popular trading strategy, was developed by Rob Smith over his 30-year career in the financial markets. The method is praised for its objectivity and systematic approach, while its complexity and unique perspective make it less widely understood. TheSTRAT is a multi-timeframe strategy that focuses on three primary components: Inside Bars, Directional Bars, and Outside Bars. The approach also emphasizes several key principles, including Full Time Frame Continuity, Broadening Formations, and the significance of Inside Bars. With the indicator you will see the numbers on the Bars, you will see the Previous day, week, month Highs and Lows. You will see the table displaying the lastest Strat Bars as well as the 50% rule retracement... If above the previous week 50% the dot will turn green and viceversa if the opposite is true.

Bollinger Bands with 3SD Volume SegmentationPurpose This script provides a structured way to analyze how real traded volume distributes across the different volatility zones defined by Bollinger Bands with three standard deviations, it reveals where activity concentrates, how pressure shifts between buyers and sellers, and how market participation behaves as price moves through expanding or contracting volatility regimes. The tool turns the bands into a mechanical segmentation system that exposes the microstructure hidden inside each volatility layer. How it works The script calculates Bollinger Bands at one, two, and three standard deviations, then assigns every bar’s volume to the correct volatility zone based on where price closed, it reconstructs buy and sell volume from candle behavior, computes delta as the difference between them, and aggregates these values over the chosen lookback window. Each zone displays total volume, delta, and a dominance percentage that expresses how strongly buyers or sellers controlled that region, all updated dynamically on the most recent bar. For example, if the Mid–U1 zone shows 28,450 contracts with a –2,728 delta and –9.59% dominance, that indicates mild seller control in a normally balanced rotation area, while the L1–Mid zone showing 10,606 contracts, +1,816 delta, and 17.12% dominance signals buyers absorbing pressure and defending the pullback. Rationale Volatility zones behave like natural boundaries where liquidity concentrates, where traders commit, hesitate, or get trapped, and where expansions or reversals often originate, so segmenting volume and delta by these zones provides a clearer picture of intent and pressure than raw volume alone. By quantifying how much buying or selling occurred in each volatility layer, the script helps identify continuation, absorption, exhaustion, and imbalance, giving traders a mechanical, objective map of market behavior rather than relying on subjective interpretation.

FVG w/ Correlated ConfirmationThis Pine Script indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart—price gaps between candles where no trading occurred, often signaling potential support or resistance zones. It highlights bullish FVGs (gap ups) and bearish FVGs (gap downs) as colored boxes directly on the chart. The indicator also optionally confirms these FVGs by checking if a correlated asset (e.g., NASDAQ:NDX) shows a similar FVG, increasing confidence. Midpoint lines inside the boxes can be displayed to mark the center of the gap. Boxes are anchored to the exact candles where the FVG forms and extend rightwards by a user-defined number of bars, remaining fixed and not sliding as new bars form. Correlated FVGs add an extra layer of confirmation from related markets, improving reliability and reducing false signals.

Institutional Liquidity MapInstitutional Liquidity Map: Detailed Description The Core Phi losophy: Mapping vs. Predicting This indicator serves as a Microstructure Navigation System. Unlike retail indicators that rely on lagged mathematical formulas (like RSI or MACD), this tool identifies the areas of high-interest where institutional orders are clustered. It focuses on the mechanics of liquidity provision and rebalancing, allowing you to see where the "Smart Money" has left a footprint. Key Modules & Institutional Meaning Confirmed Liquidity (BSL & SSL): These are the structural anchors. They represent "Liquidity Pools" where retail stop-losses are heavily concentrated. Institutions drive price into these zones to generate the counter-party volume needed to fill their large positions. Institutional Order Blocks (OB): This module identifies the exact candle where accumulation or distribution occurred. It specifically looks for displacement—a move so fast and strong that it confirms institutional intent rather than retail noise. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) / Imbalances: When price moves too rapidly, it creates a "hole" in the price action where orders weren't fully matched. The market views these as inefficiencies; price is naturally drawn back to these zones to "rebalance" before continuing the trend. Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Runs): This identifies the "Trap." It marks instances where price wicks past a confirmed high or low to trigger stops, only to close back within the range. This is often the precursor to a massive reversal. Best Use Case Scenarios 1. The High-Probability "Confluence Cluster" The most powerful way to use this indicator is by looking for the overlapping of modules. The Scenario: You see a BSL Sweep occur at a Previous Day High, immediately followed by a Bearish Order Block and a Bearish FVG. The Strategy : Use the FVG/OB zone as your "Sell Zone." This cluster indicates that institutions have trapped buyers at the high and are now aggressively pushing price lower. 2. Re-entry via "FVG Rebalancing" When the market is in a strong trend (like your LINK screenshot), price often leaves gaps. The Scenario: A strong impulsive move breaks structure, leaving an active FVG box. The Strategy: Do not chase the candle. Wait for the indicator to show price returning to fill that box. This retest of the imbalance is often the safest entry point for trend continuation. 3. Target Selection using "Liquidity Pools" Retail traders often set arbitrary take-profit targets (e.g., 2%). Institutional traders target Liquidity. The Scenario: You are in a Short trade. The Strategy: Look for the nearest Confirmed SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity) line. This is your target. Price is magnetically drawn to these levels because that is where the most sell-stops are located, providing the liquidity for you to exit your short (by buying back) with minimal slippage. 4. Daily Bias Anchor (Session VWAP) Use the Session VWAP as your "Line in the Sand." The Strategy: If price is above VWAP, only look for Bullish Order Blocks and SSL Sweeps. If price is below VWAP, prioritize Bearish Order Blocks and BSL Sweeps. This ensures you are always trading in alignment with the institutional "Fair Value" for the day.

Stocks: QQQ Daily ATR% + Premarket Range (% of ATR)## Stocks/ETFs: QQQ Premarket Range (% of Daily ATR) — ORB Trading Guide ### What this indicator does This indicator is built for **stocks and ETFs** like **QQQ** and is meant to support **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)** trading. It measures the **Premarket Range** from **04:00 to 09:30** (exchange time), then compares that move to QQQ’s **typical full-day movement** using **Daily ATR(14)**. The goal is simple: > **Before the open, decide whether the day is more likely to behave like a “chop day” or an “expansion day,” and then choose the ORB style that matches.** --- ## Key terms (plain English) ### Daily ATR(14) ATR stands for **Average True Range**. On the **daily** timeframe, ATR(14) estimates QQQ’s **typical daily movement** over the last 14 trading days. Think of it as: > “On a normal day, QQQ tends to move about *X* dollars.” --- ### ATR% (vs Daily Close) This converts ATR into a percent of price so you can compare volatility over time: Think of it as: > “QQQ’s typical daily move is about *X%* of its price.” --- ### Premarket Range (04:00–09:30) This is the distance between the **premarket high** and **premarket low** during the session window: **04:00 → 09:30** Think of it as: > “How much QQQ already moved before the bell.” --- ### Premarket Range % of ATR This is the core measurement: It answers: > “How much of a normal day’s movement already happened before the open?” Examples: * **20%** = quiet premarket (small move) * **60%** = active premarket (big move already happened) --- ## How to interpret the Regime label This script classifies the day into one of three “regimes”: ### **CHOP-LEANING** (Premarket Range < 25% of Daily ATR) Premarket was quiet. The open is more likely to be: * range-bound * full of fakeouts * slower follow-through ### **NEUTRAL** (25%–50%) Normal premarket activity. Either outcome is possible: * trend or chop * you must let the open confirm it ### **EXPANSION-LEANING** (Premarket Range > 50%) Premarket was very active. The open is more likely to: * move faster * expand range quickly * have stronger directional pushes (or sharp swings) **Important:** Expansion does not guarantee a clean trend. It means **movement is more likely**. --- # How I use this indicator with ORB (my rules) This indicator is not a buy/sell signal by itself. I use it to decide **which ORB style to trade**. ## Step 1 — Check the “Regime” before the open * If the indicator reads **EXPANSION-LEANING**, I treat it like a momentum environment. * If the indicator reads **CHOP-LEANING**, I treat it like a confirmation environment. * If it reads **NEUTRAL**, I stay selective and let price action confirm. --- ## Step 2 — ORB Execution Rules ### ✅ If **EXPANSION-LEANING** (momentum day) **Goal:** Catch the move early and avoid missing the breakout. **My ORB plan:** * Build my opening range using the **5-minute ORB** * Enter on a **break of the ORB level** * Use the **1-minute timeframe** for the actual entry trigger **How I confirm the break:** * I want a clean break through the ORB level (not just a wick touch) * If price snaps immediately back inside the ORB, I avoid chasing This approach fits expansion days because QQQ can move fast after the open and waiting for perfect retests can cause you to miss the push. --- ### ✅ If **CHOP-LEANING** (confirmation day) **Goal:** Avoid fakeouts and only enter when the break proves itself. **My ORB plan:** * Build my opening range using a **15-minute ORB** * I do **not** enter on the first break * I wait for a **break and retest** * Then I use the **5-minute timeframe** to confirm the retest holds before entry This fits chop days because breaks fail more often, so I require confirmation before committing. --- ### ✅ If **NEUTRAL** **Goal:** Reduce low-quality trades. **My ORB plan:** * Treat it as “wait and see” * Only take the break if price shows strong conviction (hold outside ORB) * If price is whipping in and out of the range, I skip the trade --- ## Best practices * Works best on **1m / 5m / 15m charts** so the premarket high/low is captured accurately. * Premarket session time uses the symbol’s **exchange time**. * Use proper risk management—QQQ can move fast, especially on expansion days. --- ## Disclaimer This script is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice. Trading involves risk. Always use risk management and test any approach before trading live.

Central Bank Liquidity Gap IndicatorThis indicator measures the gap between global liquidity growth and stock market growth to identify potential buying opportunities. Liquidity drives markets. When central banks print money, that liquidity eventually flows into stocks and other assets. If we spot when liquidity growth is outpacing market growth, we can spot moments when the market is "due" to catch up. I like this quote: Earnings don't move the overall market; it's the Federal Reserve Board... focus on the central banks and focus on the movement of liquidity." - Stanley Druckenmiller How Central Bank Liquidity Gap Indicator Works The indicator calculates a simple divergence: Divergence = Liquidity Growth % − S&P 500 Growth % Green bars = Liquidity is growing faster than the market (bullish) Red bars = Market is growing faster than liquidity (less bullish) Multi-Country M2 Money Supply Unlike basic M2 indicators, this one lets you combine money supply data from multiple economies, including US, UK, Canada, China, Eurozone, Switzerland and Japan. Each country's M2 is automatically weighted by its actual size (converted to USD). Larger economies have more influence on the global liquidity picture. I've added a discount for China. China's M2 weight is reduced by 50% to account for capital controls that limit how much Chinese liquidity flows into global markets and into the US market. Fed Net Liquidity You can also blend in Fed Net Liquidity for a more precise US liquidity measure: Net Liquidity = Fed Balance Sheet − Treasury General Account − Reverse Repo This captures the actual liquidity the Fed has injected into financial markets, not just the broad money supply. How To Read It The Buy Zone (5%+ Divergence) When the divergence exceeds +5%, the indicator enters the "Buy Zone" (highlighted with green background). This means liquidity is significantly outpacing market growth — historically a good buy signal. The Support Table The info table shows: Component weights: How much each country's M2 contributes Corr w/ SPX: Current correlation between liquidity and SPX (are they moving together?) Leads SPX by X: Does past liquidity predict future SPX moves? (higher = more predictive) Divergence %: Current divergence value Signal Correlation Stats Corr w/ SPX: Measures if liquidity and SPX are moving in sync right now Leads SPX: Measures if liquidity changes predict future SPX moves. A positive value here suggests liquidity is a leading indicator. Potential Use Cases Long-term investing: Wait for 5%+ divergence (buy zone) to accumulate index funds, ETFs, or stocks Leveraged ETFs: Use buy zone signals to time entries into UPRO, TQQQ, SSO (higher risk, higher reward) Crypto: Bitcoin and crypto markets also correlate with global liquidity — use this for BTC accumulation timing Risk management: Avoid adding positions when divergence is deeply negative Important Notes This is a long-term indicator and not for daytrading. It works best used on Daily/Weekly timeframes It identifies accumulation zones and not precise bottoms Truly yours, Henrique Centieiro Inspired by the relationship between M2 money supply and market performance, enhanced with multi-country liquidity tracking and Fed balance sheet analysis. Let me know if you have questions/suggestions.
