[CT] D&W PPO + RBF + DivergenceThis indicator combines two separate ideas into one tool so you can read trend context from your price chart while timing momentum shifts from a clean oscillator panel. The first component is the Daily and Weekly Percentage Price Oscillator (D&W PPO), which measures the relationship between two EMA spreads that are intentionally built to reflect two “speeds” of market structure. The “weekly” leg is calculated as the percentage distance between a slower and faster EMA pair (L1 and L2), and the “daily” leg is calculated as the percentage distance between a shorter EMA pair (L3 and L4), but both are normalized by the same long EMA (e2) so the values behave like a percent-based oscillator rather than raw points. The script then combines those two legs by creating R = W + D, and it plots the histogram as R − W, which simplifies to D. That is not a mistake, it is the point of the design. By setting the baseline at “R equals W,” the zero line becomes a very intuitive threshold that tells you whether the shorter-term push is adding to the longer-term bias or subtracting from it. When the histogram is above zero, the daily component is supportive of the larger trend pressure, and when it is below zero, the daily component is opposing it. The histogram color is intentionally binary and stable, green when the histogram is at or above zero and red when it is below, so the panel reads like a momentum confirmation tool rather than a noisy oscillator that constantly shifts shades.
The second component is the RBF Price Trail, which is drawn on the upper price chart even though the indicator itself lives in a lower panel. This line is not a moving average in the traditional sense. It is a Radial Basis Function kernel smoother that weights recent prices based on their similarity rather than only their recency. In plain terms, the kernel attempts to build a smoother “baseline” that adapts to the shape of price action, and then the script optionally wraps that baseline inside an ATR band and applies a Supertrend-like trailing clamp. When the ATR band is enabled, the line will not simply track the kernel value, it will trail price and hold its position until price forces it to ratchet. This behavior is what makes it useful as a structure-aligned trend line rather than just another smoothing curve. When the adaptive band boost is enabled, the band width is multiplied by a factor that grows when recent price change is large relative to a lookback normalization window. That means the trailing mechanism can adapt to fast markets by changing the effective band behavior, which helps reduce whipsaws in choppy conditions while still allowing the line to respond when volatility expands. The line color is determined by where price closes relative to the trail, bullish when price is above the trail and bearish when price is below it, and you can optionally color your actual chart candles from either the PPO state or the RBF state depending on what you want your eyes to follow.
The settings are organized so you can control each module without changing how the core PPO trend logic behaves. The PPO settings L1, L2, L3, and L4 define the EMA lengths used to compute the weekly leg W and the daily leg D. Increasing these values makes the oscillator slower and smoother, while decreasing them makes it react faster to recent movement. “Show W line” is simply a visual aid, it plots the W line in the oscillator panel so you can see the longer-term component, but it does not change the histogram logic. “Histogram thickness” is purely visual and controls how thick the column bars are. The PPO colors are the two base colors used for the histogram state, green when the daily component is supportive and red when it is opposing.
The RBF settings control what you see on the upper chart. “Show RBF on Price Chart” turns the trail line on or off. “Source” chooses which price series feeds the kernel, and close is usually the cleanest choice. “Kernel Length” determines how many bars the kernel uses; a larger value makes the baseline smoother and slower, and a smaller value makes it more reactive. “Gamma Adj” controls how quickly the kernel’s weights decay as price becomes dissimilar, so higher gamma tends to make the kernel react more sharply to changes while lower gamma produces a broader smoothing effect. “Use ATR Trail Band” is the switch that turns the kernel baseline into a trailing band line, and it is the reason the line can “hold” and then ratchet instead of moving continuously like a normal moving average. “ATR Length” and “ATR Factor” control the width of that band, and widening the band will generally reduce flips and noise at the cost of later signals. “Use Adaptive Band Boost” turns on the volatility normalization idea, “Boost Normalization Lookback” defines how far back the script looks to determine what counts as a large price change, and “Boost Multiplier” controls how strongly the band behavior is adjusted during those periods. The line width and bull/bear colors are visual controls only.
Price bar coloring is intentionally handled with a single selector so you do not end up with two modules fighting to color candles differently. If you choose “Off,” nothing on the main chart is recolored. If you choose “PPO,” your price candles reflect whether the PPO histogram is above or below zero. If you choose “RBF,” your price candles reflect whether price is above or below the RBF trail. Most traders will pick one and stick with it so the chart communicates a single bias at a glance.
The divergence module is optional and is designed to be a confirmation layer rather than a primary trigger. When enabled, it can mark regular divergence and hidden divergence, and it lets you decide what the pivots should be based on. The divergence source can be the PPO histogram or the R line, depending on whether you want divergence measured on the cleaner momentum component or on the combined series. “Key off pivots” determines whether pivot detection is driven by oscillator pivots or by price pivots. If you choose oscillator pivots, divergence anchors are found where the oscillator makes pivot highs or lows and those are compared against price at the same points. If you choose price pivots, the pivots are taken from price first and the oscillator value at those pivot bars is used for the comparison, which can feel more intuitive when you want divergence to respect obvious swing structure on the chart. Pivot Left and Pivot Right control how strict the swing definition is, larger values create fewer but more meaningful pivots and smaller values create more frequent signals. “Mark on Price Chart” adds tiny markers on the candles at the pivot location so you can see where the divergence event was confirmed, while the oscillator panel uses lines and labels to make the divergence relationship obvious.
For trading, the cleanest way to use this tool is to separate “bias” from “timing.” The RBF Price Trail is your bias filter because it is structure-like and tends to hold and ratchet rather than constantly drifting. When price is closing above the trail and the trail is colored bullish, you treat the market as long-biased and you focus on long setups, pullbacks, and continuation entries. When price is closing below the trail and the trail is bearish, you treat the market as short-biased and you focus on short setups, rallies, and continuation shorts. The PPO histogram is then your timing and pressure confirmation. In an up-bias, the highest quality continuation conditions are when the histogram is above zero and stays above zero through pullbacks, because that means the shorter-term pressure is still supporting the longer-term drift. When the histogram dips below zero during an up-bias, it is a warning that the daily component is now opposing, which often corresponds to a deeper pullback, a rotation, or a period of consolidation, so you either wait for the histogram to recover above zero or you tighten expectations and manage risk more aggressively. In a down-bias, the mirror logic applies: the best continuation conditions are when the histogram is below zero, and pushes above zero tend to represent countertrend rotations or pauses inside the bearish condition.
Divergence is best used as an early warning and a location filter, not as a standalone entry button. Regular bullish divergence, where price makes a lower low but the oscillator makes a higher low, can signal bearish pressure is weakening and is most useful when it appears while price is below the RBF trail but failing to continue downward, because it often precedes a reclaim of the trail or at least a meaningful rotation. Regular bearish divergence, where price makes a higher high but the oscillator makes a lower high, can signal bullish pressure is weakening and is most useful when it appears while price is above the trail but extension is failing, because it often precedes a drop back to the trail or a full flip. Hidden divergence is a continuation concept. Hidden bullish divergence, where price makes a higher low while the oscillator makes a lower low, often shows up during pullbacks in an uptrend and can help you confirm continuation as long as the RBF bias remains bullish. Hidden bearish divergence, where price makes a lower high while the oscillator makes a higher high, often shows up during rallies in a downtrend and can help you confirm continuation as long as the RBF bias remains bearish. In practice, you’ll get the best results when you only act on divergence that aligns with the RBF bias for hidden divergence continuation, and you treat regular divergence as a caution or reversal setup only when it occurs near a meaningful swing and is followed by a bias change or a strong momentum shift on the PPO.
The most practical workflow is to keep the RBF trail visible on the price chart as your regime guide, keep the PPO histogram as your momentum confirmation, and decide in advance whether you want candle coloring to represent the PPO state or the RBF state so your eyes are not reading two different meanings at once. if you want the cleanest “trend-following” behavior, color candles by the RBF trail and use the PPO histogram as the timing trigger. If you want the cleanest “momentum-first” behavior, color candles by PPO and treat the RBF trail as the higher-level filter for whether you should press a move or fade it.

Zenith MACD Evolution [JOAT]
Zenith MACD Evolution - Volatility-Normalized Momentum Oscillator
Introduction and Purpose
Zenith MACD Evolution is an open-source oscillator indicator that takes the classic MACD and normalizes it by ATR (Average True Range) to create consistent overbought/oversold levels across different market conditions. The core problem this indicator solves is that traditional MACD values are incomparable across different volatility regimes. A MACD reading of 50 might be extreme in a quiet market but normal in a volatile one.
This indicator addresses that by dividing MACD by ATR and scaling to a consistent range, allowing traders to use fixed overbought/oversold levels that work across all market conditions.
Why ATR Normalization Works
Traditional MACD problems:
- Values vary wildly based on price and volatility
- No consistent overbought/oversold levels
- Hard to compare across different instruments
- Extreme readings in one period may be normal in another
ATR-normalized MACD (Zenith) solves these:
- Values scaled to consistent range
- Fixed overbought/oversold levels work across all conditions
- Comparable across different instruments
- Extreme readings are truly extreme regardless of volatility
How the Normalization Works
// Classic MACD
= ta.macd(close, fastLength, slowLength, signalLength)
// ATR for normalization
float atrValue = ta.atr(atrNormLength)
// Volatility-Normalized MACD
float zenithMACD = atrValue != 0 ? (histLine / atrValue) * 100 : 0
float zenithSignal = ta.ema(zenithMACD, signalLength)
The result is a MACD that typically ranges from -200 to +200, with consistent levels:
- Above +150 = Overbought
- Below -150 = Oversold
- Above +200 = Extreme overbought
- Below -200 = Extreme oversold
Signal Types
Zero Cross Up/Down - Zenith crosses zero line (trend change)
Overbought/Oversold Entry - Zenith enters extreme zones
Overbought/Oversold Exit - Zenith leaves extreme zones (potential reversal)
Momentum Shift - Histogram direction changes (early warning)
Divergence - Price makes new high/low but Zenith does not
Histogram Coloring
The histogram uses four colors to show momentum state:
- Strong Bull (Teal) - Positive and rising
- Weak Bull (Light Teal) - Positive but falling
- Strong Bear (Red) - Negative and falling
- Weak Bear (Light Red) - Negative but rising
This helps identify momentum shifts before crossovers occur.
Dashboard Information
Zenith - Current normalized MACD value with signal line
Zone - Current zone (EXTREME OB/OVERBOUGHT/NORMAL/OVERSOLD/EXTREME OS)
Momentum - Direction (RISING/FALLING/FLAT)
Histogram - Current histogram value
ATR Norm - Current ATR value used for normalization
Classic - Traditional MACD value for reference
How to Use This Indicator
For Mean-Reversion:
1. Wait for Zenith to reach extreme zones (+200/-200)
2. Look for momentum shift (histogram color change)
3. Enter counter-trend when exiting extreme zone
For Trend Following:
1. Enter long on zero cross up
2. Enter short on zero cross down
3. Use histogram color to gauge momentum strength
For Divergence Trading:
1. Watch for DIV labels (price vs Zenith divergence)
2. Bullish divergence at support = potential long
3. Bearish divergence at resistance = potential short
Input Parameters
Fast/Slow/Signal Length (12/26/9) - Standard MACD parameters
ATR Normalization Period (26) - Period for ATR calculation
Overbought/Oversold Zone (150/-150) - Zone thresholds
Extreme Level (200) - Extreme threshold
Show Classic MACD Lines (false) - Toggle traditional lines
Show Divergence Detection (true) - Toggle divergence signals
Divergence Lookback (14) - Bars to scan for divergence
Timeframe Recommendations
All timeframes work due to normalization
Higher timeframes provide smoother signals
Normalization makes cross-timeframe comparison meaningful
Limitations
ATR normalization adds slight lag
Divergence detection is simplified
Extreme zones can persist in strong trends
Works best when combined with price action analysis

Vortex Trend Matrix [JOAT]Vortex Trend Matrix - Multi-Factor Trend Confluence System
Introduction and Purpose
Vortex Trend Matrix is an open-source overlay indicator that combines Ichimoku-style equilibrium analysis with the Vortex Indicator to create a comprehensive trend confluence system. The core problem this indicator solves is that single trend indicators often give conflicting signals. Price might be above a moving average but momentum might be weakening.
This indicator addresses that by combining five different trend factors into a single composite score, making it easy to identify when multiple factors align for high-probability trend trades.
Why These Components Work Together
Each component measures trend from a different perspective:
1. Cloud Position - Price above/below the equilibrium cloud indicates overall trend bias. The cloud acts as dynamic support/resistance.
2. TK Relationship - Conversion line vs Base line (like Tenkan/Kijun in Ichimoku). Conversion above Base = bullish momentum.
3. Lagging Span - Current price compared to price N bars ago. Confirms whether current move has follow-through.
4. Vortex Indicator - VI+ vs VI- measures directional movement strength. Provides momentum confirmation.
5. Base Direction - Whether the base line is rising or falling. Indicates medium-term trend direction.
How the Trend Score Works
float trendScore = 0.0
// Cloud position (+2/-2)
trendScore += aboveCloud ? 2.0 : belowCloud ? -2.0 : 0.0
// TK relationship (+1/-1)
trendScore += conversionLine > baseLine ? 1.0 : conversionLine < baseLine ? -1.0 : 0.0
// Lagging span (+1/-1)
trendScore += laggingBull ? 1.0 : laggingBear ? -1.0 : 0.0
// Vortex (+1.5/-1.5)
trendScore += vortexBull ? 1.5 : vortexBear ? -1.5 : 0.0
// Base direction (+0.5/-0.5)
trendScore += baseDirection * 0.5
Score ranges from approximately -6 to +6:

NICHI (NuwenPham's Ichimoku)NICHI (NuwenPham’s Ichimoku)
NICHI is a dual-engine Ichimoku indicator designed for modern, high-volatility markets.
It preserves a faithful traditional Ichimoku while introducing an advanced, filter-driven Ichimoku framework for research, visualization, and discretionary trading.
The goal of NICHI is not to replace Ichimoku — but to extend it.
Overview
NICHI includes two independent Ichimoku systems that can be enabled separately or together.
1. Standard Ichimoku
A clean, traditional Hosoda Ichimoku using Donchian midpoints:
Tenkan-sen (short period)
Kijun-sen (medium period)
Senkou Span A & B (forward displaced)
Chikou Span (lagging)
Design choice:
The Standard Ichimoku is intentionally plotted in a separate pane to avoid cluttering the price chart.
It serves as a reference / regime baseline, not a visual overlay.
2. Advanced Ichimoku
The Advanced system keeps the Ichimoku structure intact but replaces the Donchian calculations with selectable smoothing filters.
Each Ichimoku component (Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou B, Chikou) can be calculated using modern filters designed to handle volatility, noise, and regime shifts.
Supported filters include:
McGinley Dynamic (MD)
VWMA (exchange or tick-derived volume)
EMA / DEMA / SMA / SMMA / WMA
ALMA / LSMA / Hull MA
COVWMA / FRAMA / KAMA
50th Percentile
Moving Median
This allows Ichimoku to behave as:
A smoother trend system
A volatility-adaptive framework
A momentum-responsive overlay
Enhanced Cloud (Kumo) Modeling
Advanced Kumo logic includes:
Independent forward offsets for Span A and Span B
Bull / bear regime classification aligned with how the cloud is actually drawn
Adaptive cloud coloring
Neutral cloud state when spans disagree
This avoids misleading regime signals when different offsets are used.
Directional Persistence Tracking
NICHI tracks directional streaks for key components:
Tenkan direction
Kijun direction
Span A direction
Span B direction
These persistence counters stabilize coloring, reduce flicker, and improve visual clarity during transitions.
Bar Coloring Modes (Advanced)
Three bar-coloring frameworks are included.
Kumo-Based
Above cloud → bullish
Below cloud → bearish
Inside cloud → neutral
Tenkan / Kijun-Based
Above both → bullish
Below both → bearish
Chikou-Based
Chikou above past price → bullish
Chikou below past price → bearish
Each mode is intentionally distinct and serves a different trading style.
Moving Average Overlays
NICHI includes four optional moving average overlays (MA1–MA4):
Configurable type, length, width, and source
Intended for bias, confluence, or higher-timeframe context
Controlled as code-level constants by design
What Changed Since BETA
This release promotes NICHI from beta to stable with the following key improvements:
Chikou regime logic fixed:
Chikou comparisons now reference historical price only, eliminating any future lookahead behavior.
Kumo bull/bear alignment clarified:
Cloud regime classification now matches how the cloud is visually drawn when Span A and Span B use different forward offsets.
Kijun direction tracking corrected:
Kijun coloring now reflects Kijun movement, not Tenkan movement.
Bar coloring gated:
Bar coloring is applied only when Advanced Ichimoku is enabled, preventing unintended behavior when using Standard mode alone.
General stability and cleanup:
Minor bug fixes, consistency improvements, and documentation clarity.
Notes
Advanced Ichimoku is intended for research and visualization, not as a turnkey strategy.
Standard Ichimoku remains a faithful baseline.

BE-QuantFlow: Adaptive Momentum Trading█ Overview: QuantFlow: Adaptive Momentum Trading
QuantFlow is a sophisticated algorithmic momentum trading method designed specifically for indices and high-beta stocks. However, its logic is universal; with appropriate parameter tuning, it adapts to various asset classes and timeframes.
While the standard momentum indicators (like RSI or MACD) simply measure how fast price is moving (Velocity), QuantFlow analyzes the quality and conviction of the trend . Features like Dynamic Volatility Filtering and Trend Shielding, combined with volatility weighting and a "Dual-Line" approach to distinguish between a sustainable institutional trend and a temporary retail spike, make the indicator unique and more powerful.
█ Why QuantFlow ?
Quant (The Engine): This replaces subjective guessing with objective math.
Instead of just seeing that the price is "up," we measure "how it got there". For example, a stock that rises 1 currency value every day for 10 days (smooth trend) gets a much higher score than a stock that jumps 10 currency value in one minute and does nothing else (erratic noise). This mathematical rigor provides the structure.
█ Core Logic & Philosophy
To understand how QuantFlow calculates momentum, imagine a "Tug-of-War" between Buyers (Bulls) and Sellers (Bears). Most indicators (like RSI) use a single line. If RSI is at 50, it means "Neutral." But "Neutral" can mean two very different things:
Peace: Nothing is happening. No one is buying or selling.
War: Buyers are pushing hard, but Sellers are pushing back equally hard. Volatility is massive.
A single line hides this reality. QuantFlow splits the market into two separate scores:
Bull Score (Green Line): How hard are the buyers pushing?
Bear Score (Red Line): How hard are the sellers pushing?
The Layman's Advantage:
If both lines are low = Sleepy Market (Avoid).
If Green is high and Red is low = Clean Uptrend (Buy).
If Red is high and Green is low = Clean Downtrend (Sell).
If both lines are high = Chaos/War Zone (Wait).
█ How it Weight "Sustenance" (The Critical Quality Check)
This is the most unique aspect of QuantFlow: Trend direction alone is not enough; Sustenance is weighed equally . Standard indicators treat every 10 currency value movements the same way with no distinction. However, QuantFlow asks, "Did you hold the ground you gained?"
Scenario A (High Sustenance) : A stock opens at 100, marches to 110, and closes at 110.
Verdict : Buyers pushed up and sustained the price.
QuantFlow Weight : 100%. This is a high-quality move.
Scenario B (Low Sustenance) : A stock opens at 100, spikes to 110, but gets sold off to close at 102.
Verdict : Buyers pushed up (Trend is Up), but failed to sustain it (Long Wick).
QuantFlow Weight : 20%. This is treated as "Noise" or a trap.
By mathematically weighing the Close Location Value (where the candle closes relative to its high/low), QuantFlow filters out "Gap-and-Fade" traps and exhaustion spikes that fool traditional indicators.
Comparisons: QuantFlow vs. The Rest
Calculation Logic : Standard RSI/MACD measures simple price change over time. QuantFlow measures Price Change 'times (x)' Conviction (Sustenance Weighting).
Visual Output : Standard tools show a single line (0-100), often hiding market conflict. QuantFlow displays Dual Lines (Bull vs Bear Intensity) to reveal the true state of the battle.
Trap Handling : Standard indicators are often fooled by sharp spikes. QuantFlow ignores "Gap-and-Fade" moves with poor closing conviction.
Adaptability : Standard tools use static levels (e.g., Overbought > 70). QuantFlow uses Dynamic Bands that adjust automatically to recent volatility.
█ Dynamic Volatility Filtering
Unlike standard indicators that use fixed levels (e.g., "Buy if RSI > 50"), QuantFlow acknowledges that "50" means something different in a quiet market versus a crashing market. This section explains the statistical engine driving the signals.
The Problem with Static Levels : In a low-volatility environment, a momentum score of 55 might indicate a massive breakout. In a high-volatility environment, a score of 55 might just be random noise. A fixed threshold cannot handle both scenarios.
The Solution: Adaptive Statistics : The script maintains a memory of the Momentum Events. It doesn't just look at price; it looks at where the momentum occurred in the past and draws a "Noise Zone" (Grey Band). This logic acts as a "Smart Gatekeeper" for trade entries:
Scenario A: Inside the Noise (The Filter)
If a new momentum signal happens inside the Noise Zone, the script assumes it is likely chop or noise.
Action : It forces a wait period. The signal is delayed until the trend sustains itself for Confirm Bars; else the signal is cancelled. This filters out ~70% of false signals in sideways markets.
Scenario B: Outside the Noise (The Breakout)
If a new momentum signal happens outside the Noise Zone (or the momentum score smashes through the Upper Band), it is statistically significant (an outlier event).
Action: It triggers an Immediate Entry. No waiting is required because the move is powerful enough to escape the historical noise zone.
█ The ⚠️ "Warning" System (Heads-up for Smart Reversals)
While you are directional if there is potential reversal signal, it provides the heads-up warning for a better decision-making
█ Special Utility: Ghost Mode
For intraday traders, the biggest disruption to "Flow" is the mandatory broker square-off at 3:15 PM (considering Indian Market). Often, a trend continues overnight, and the trader misses the gap-up opening the next morning because their algo was flat.
Ghost Mode is a unique feature that runs silently in the background:
At Square-off: The strategy closes your official position to satisfy the broker.
In the Background: It keeps the trade "alive" virtually (Ghost).
Next Morning: If the market opens in the trend's favor, the strategy re-enters the trade automatically. This approach ensures you capture the full swing of the trend, even if you are forced to exit at the previous session.
█ Advice on this indicator:
Parameter Calibration: The default settings are optimized for BankNifty on 5-minute charts. If you trade stocks, crypto, commodities, or any higher timeframes (e.g., 15-min or hourly), you must adjust these.
Low Volatility Assets: Reduce Stop Multiplier to 2.0.
High Volatility Assets: Increase Momentum Lookback to 50 to filter noise.
Confluence (Additional Confirmation): While QuantFlow is a complete system, using it alongside Key Support/Resistance Levels or Volume Profile provides the highest probability setups.

Asian Stop Hunt ModelSTOP HUNT MODEL – STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The Stop Hunt Model is designed to capture high-probability trades by targeting stop-loss liquidity from retail traders at buy-side and sell-side liquidity zones. The strategy focuses on identifying where liquidity is taken during the Asian session, waiting for a Change of Character (CHoCH), and then entering from unfilled orders (Balanced Price Range / Imbalance) in the direction of the dominant IPDA bias. The objective is to trade from engineered liquidity sweeps toward the next logical liquidity pool, while maintaining strict risk control.
The model operates primarily on the 5-minute chart, with early confirmation on the 3-minute chart. The Asian Killzone is used to define the initial range, plotting its high and low. Higher-timeframe liquidity from Daily, 4H, and 1H charts is marked in advance to provide directional context. IPDA direction is determined using macro alignment such as global interest rate bias and long-term trend behavior.
Once the Asian session concludes, price is expected to sweep either the high or low of the Asian range or the previous day’s high/low. After the liquidity sweep, the market must show a valid CHoCH, confirming a shift in internal structure. Entries are taken only after the formation and retest of a Balanced Price Range (BPR) created by overlapping imbalances. Trades are executed from these imbalance zones, targeting the next liquidity area, with stop loss placed at the most recent swing high or low.
This model prioritizes precision over frequency, aiming for fewer trades with higher reward-to-risk ratios, typically 1:3 or better, and a strict daily risk cap.
CHECKLIST – STOP HUNT MODEL
1.Mark Asian Killzone High and Low
2.Identify IPDA directional bias for the pair
3.Mark Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity from Daily, 4H, and 1H
4.Wait for a liquidity sweep (Asian High/Low or Previous Day High/Low)
5.Confirm a valid CHoCH
6.Identify a valid BPR (overlapping imbalance)
7.Enter trade from the BPR zone
8.Target the next liquidity pool
9.Place stop loss at the last swing high or low
RULES – STOP HUNT MODEL STRATEGY
> Always pre-mark Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity on 1D, 4H, and 1H
> Asian Killzone must complete by 10:30 AM IST
> After Asian close, mark 15-minute timeframe liquidity
> Trade only after the market sweeps the Asian session high or low
> Align trades with IPDA direction:
> Bullish IPDA → Prefer sweep of Asian Low
> Bearish IPDA → Prefer sweep of Asian High
> CHoCH confirmation is mandatory:
> Green CHoCH for bullish setups
> Red CHoCH for bearish setups
Setup conditions:
1. Bullish: CHoCH above price + BPR below price
2. Bearish: CHoCH below price + BPR above price
3.BPR must be formed by overlapping imbalances:
4.Red → Green for bullish
5.Green → Red for bearish
6.Look for V-shaped (bullish) or A-shaped (bearish) candle behavior
7.Entry only on imbalance retest — no chase entries
8.Targets must be killzone extremes or next liquidity zone
9.Stop loss must always be at the last swing high or low
10.No manual exits if aiming for 1:3 RR
11.If price sweeps both sides or no clean sweep occurs → No Trade
12.Trade less, execute cleaner setups
13.Daily target: 1% maximum
The SHIFT - Signal Harmonic Inflection Flow Tracker🔄 THE SHIFT — SIGNAL HARMONIC INFLECTION FLOW TRACKER
Precision reversal detection at the exact moment price shifts direction.
📐 CORE CONCEPT: THE INFLECTION POINT
Every sustained price move begins with a single moment — the instant price crosses from one phase to another. THE SHIFT captures this exact inflection point by combining two essential confirmations:
1. The Phase Cross
Price crossing the EMA ribbon midpoint represents a structural change in market bias. The ribbon midpoint is calculated as the average of EMA 21 and EMA 55, creating a dynamic equilibrium zone. When price decisively crosses this level, it signals a potential phase transition.
2. The Confirming Wick
Not every ribbon cross leads to continuation. THE SHIFT filters for quality by requiring the crossing candle to show directional commitment through its wick structure:
✓ Bullish SHIFT: Lower wick ≥ 25% of bar range (buyers absorbed selling pressure)
✓ Bearish SHIFT: Upper wick ≥ 25% of bar range (sellers absorbed buying pressure)
This dual confirmation eliminates weak crosses that occur during sideways chop.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
The EMA Ribbon
Five exponential moving averages (8, 13, 21, 34, 55) form an adaptive ribbon that expands during trends and contracts during consolidation. The ribbon serves multiple purposes:
✓ Visual trend identification through color gradient
✓ Dynamic support/resistance zones
✓ Phase boundary definition via ribbon midpoint
Phase Detection
The indicator tracks three distinct market phases:
✓ VELOCITY BULLISH — Price confirmed above ribbon midpoint
✓ VELOCITY BEARISH — Price confirmed below ribbon midpoint
✓ EQUILIBRIUM — Price oscillating around midpoint without confirmation
Phase confirmation requires price to remain on one side of the ribbon for a user-defined number of bars (default: 2), preventing false signals from single-bar noise.
Market Pressure Index (MPI)
MPI quantifies the balance between buying and selling pressure within each bar by analyzing where price closes relative to its range, weighted by volume. This provides momentum context for phase transitions:
✓ Positive MPI confirms bullish pressure
✓ Negative MPI confirms bearish pressure
✓ Strong readings (above threshold) indicate conviction
Consensus Grading System
Each SHIFT signal receives a quality grade (A+, A, B, C) based on five factors:
✓ Phase Strength — EMA alignment plus MPI strength
✓ Trend Alignment — All EMAs properly stacked
✓ Volume Confirmation — Above-average participation
✓ Momentum Convergence — MPI confirms direction
✓ Structure Respect — Price at value area
Higher grades indicate stronger confluence and potentially higher-probability setups.
📊 VISUAL SYSTEM
SHIFT Labels
✓ ▲ SHIFT — Bullish phase flip detected

📝 DEVELOPMENT NOTES
THE SHIFT emerged from extensive research into what makes reversal signals reliable versus unreliable. The key insight was that most failed reversals lack wick confirmation — the candle crosses a level but shows no evidence that the opposing force actually stepped in.
By requiring both the structural cross (price through ribbon midpoint) AND the wick confirmation (evidence of absorption), THE SHIFT filters out the low-quality signals that plague simpler crossover systems.
The intelligent Assistant panel was designed to function as a trading coach, helping traders understand not just WHEN to trade but WHY conditions are or aren't favorable. This educational component helps develop intuition over time.

CVD Flow Dashboard [AMT Edition] + Unified AlertsCVD Flow Dashboard – Live Bar Alerts
1️⃣ Purpose of the Tool
The CVD Flow Dashboard is a reaction-based tool. It does not predict the market; it reacts to real-time order flow imbalances:
Detects strong buying/selling pressure (Delta)
Confirms trend alignment (CVD)
Detects absorption and continuation signals
It is designed to show micro (bar-level) and macro (trend) context simultaneously, allowing you to enter trades after a real market reaction occurs, rather than preempting it.
2️⃣ When to Use It
Use this dashboard in real-time trading for reaction trades:
After an attempted market move is absorbed
Market tests a level (high or low of prior bar) but fails — this is absorption.
Example: buyers push price down but sellers absorb → bullish absorption.
Minimum alignment required:
Delta: strong buy/sell delta
CVD: confirms trend direction
Acceptance: continuation candle breaks prior high/low in alignment with delta/CVD
Optional: Sequence (SEQ) — if the next bar continues the acceptance pattern, confidence rises.
Key point: only act after absorption and alignment, never before.
Recommended Integrations for Best Quality Use:
Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition) – provides session extremes for context and levels.
CVD Flow Labels for Session Ranges – shows delta alignment across session levels.
All-in-One CVD: Failed Auction + Trap + Flow Classifications – adds absorption, trap, and flow classification confluence.
Using these together provides full micro + macro context, improving trade quality and confidence.
3️⃣ Step-by-Step Usage
Step 1: Monitor the Dashboard
Watch Delta, CVD, Acceptance, and Sequence.
Absorption often occurs without immediate alignment — this is the setup stage.
Step 2: Wait for Absorption
Bullish absorption: strong buy delta, failed auction low, price starting upward reaction
Bearish absorption: strong sell delta, failed auction high, price starting downward reaction
Step 3: Confirm the 3 Minimum Boxes
Delta → strong and aligned with absorption
CVD → trend confirmation
Acceptance → bar closes beyond prior high/low
Proceed only if all three align
Step 4: Check for Sequence (Optional)
Next bar continues pattern → higher-confidence setup
Not required, but reinforces trade quality
4️⃣ Entering Trades
Reaction trade: enter immediately once 3 minimum boxes align after absorption / absorption area re-test.
LONG = Bull absorption + CVD bullish + Acceptance
SHORT = Bear absorption + CVD bearish + Acceptance
Sequence bonus: can add to position or widen stop for confidence
5️⃣ Risk Management / Protecting Positions
Initial Stop-Loss: just beyond failed auction extreme (low for bullish, high for bearish)
Trailing Stop / Sequence Protection: trail below prior bar lows/highs if sequence occurs
Avoid Over-Exposure: multiple trades can occur, but only if alignment is verified
Time Sensitivity: reaction trades are intraday/high-frequency — avoid holding overnight without macro confirmation
6️⃣ Practical Tips
Do not trade solely on absorption — wait for minimum 3-box alignment
Use Sequence only as reinforcement
Watch volume spikes and strong delta — often precede absorption/continuation
Best used on 15-minute timeframe ✅ ✅ or higher for swing intraday confirmation; lower timeframes (5 min) for live reaction trades

Alerts trigger on the current live bar best, not just at close make sure it continues if you choose to use at close of candle, when:
Bull alignment: Delta + CVD + Acceptance align (Sequence optional)
Bear alignment: Delta + CVD + Acceptance align (Sequence optional)
Alerts continue after bar close if conditions persist, allowing both immediate reaction entries or confirmation at bar close.
✅ Summary Workflow (Reaction Trade Flow)
Market attempts a move → Absorption occurs
Check 3 minimum boxes: Delta + CVD + Acceptance
Optional: Sequence confirms continuation
Enter trade immediately
Place stop-loss just beyond absorption extreme
Use Sequence for trailing stop or scaling confidence
“Let the market react first, then follow the confirmed flow” — this is why it’s a reaction tool, not predictive.
Pulse Volume Commitment [JOAT]
Pulse Volume Commitment - Three-Dimensional Momentum Analysis
Introduction and Purpose
Pulse Volume Commitment is an open-source oscillator indicator that analyzes price action through three distinct dimensions: Quantity (candle count), Quality (body structure), and Commitment (volume-weighted quality). The core problem this indicator solves is that simple bullish/bearish candle counts miss important context. A market can have more green candles but still be weak if those candles have small bodies and low volume.
This indicator addresses that by requiring all three dimensions to align before generating strong signals, filtering out weak moves that lack conviction.
Why These Three Dimensions Work Together
Each dimension measures a different aspect of market conviction:
1. Quantity - Counts bullish vs bearish candles over the lookback period. Tells you WHO is winning the candle count battle.
2. Quality - Scores candles by body size relative to total range. Full-bodied candles (small wicks) indicate stronger conviction than doji-like candles. Tells you HOW decisively price is moving.
3. Commitment - Weights quality scores by volume. High-quality candles on high volume indicate institutional participation. Tells you WHETHER smart money is involved.
When all three align (e.g., more bullish candles + bullish quality + bullish commitment), the signal is significantly more reliable.
How the Calculations Work
Quantity Analysis:
int greenCount = 0
int redCount = 0
for i = 0 to lookbackPeriod - 1
if close > open
greenCount += 1
if close < open
redCount += 1
bool quantityBull = greenCount > redCount
Quality Analysis (body-to-range scoring):
for i = 0 to lookbackPeriod - 1
float candleBody = close - open // Signed (positive = bull)
float candleRange = high - low
float bodyQuality = candleRange > 0 ? (candleBody / candleRange * 100) * candleRange : 0.0
sumBodyQuality += bodyQuality
bool qualityBull = sumBodyQuality > 0
Signal Types
FULL BULL - All three dimensions bullish (Quantity + Quality + Commitment)
FULL BEAR - All three dimensions bearish
LEAN BULL/BEAR - 2 of 3 dimensions agree
MIXED - No clear consensus
STRONG BUY/SELL - Full confluence + ADX confirms trending market
ADX Integration
The indicator includes ADX (Average Directional Index) to filter signals:
- ADX >= 20 = TRENDING market (signals more reliable)
- ADX < 20 = RANGING market (signals may whipsaw)
Strong signals only trigger when full confluence occurs in a trending environment.
Dashboard Information
Quantity - BULL/BEAR/FLAT with green/red candle ratio
Quality - Directional bias based on body quality scoring
Commit - Volume-weighted commitment reading
ADX - Trend strength (TRENDING/RANGING)
Signal - Confluence status (FULL BULL/FULL BEAR/LEAN/MIXED)
Action - STRONG BUY/STRONG SELL/WAIT
How to Use This Indicator
For High-Conviction Entries:
1. Wait for FULL BULL or FULL BEAR confluence
2. Confirm ADX shows TRENDING
3. Enter when Action shows STRONG BUY or STRONG SELL
For Filtering Weak Setups:
1. Avoid entries when signal shows MIXED
2. Be cautious when ADX shows RANGING
3. Require at least 2 of 3 dimensions to agree
For Divergence Analysis:
1. Watch for Quantity bullish but Commitment bearish (distribution)
2. Watch for Quantity bearish but Commitment bullish (accumulation)
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (9) - Bars to analyze for all three dimensions
ADX Smoothing (14) - Period for ADX calculation
ADX DI Length (14) - Period for directional indicators
Timeframe Recommendations
15m-1H: Good for intraday momentum analysis
4H-Daily: Best for swing trading confluence
Lookback period may need adjustment for different timeframes
Limitations
Lookback period affects signal responsiveness vs reliability tradeoff
Volume data quality varies by exchange
ADX filter may cause missed entries in early trends
Works best on liquid instruments with consistent volume

Adaptive Trend Mapper-ATM [Arjo]Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) is a directional pressure indicator designed to visualize how buying and selling commitment evolves during market trends.
Instead of focusing on price direction alone, ATM maps who is exerting stronger pressure —buyers or sellers—and how that pressure expands, weakens, or compresses over time.
Idea
ATM is built around a single concept:
Directional pressure is best understood by weighting trend strength against directional imbalance .
To achieve this, the indicator transforms trend strength into two opposing pressure measures:
Bull Pressure Index
Bear Pressure Index
These indices expand, contract, and converge based on how strongly buyers or sellers are committing, rather than simply tracking momentum or price changes.
How It Works
1. Bull & Bear Pressure Indices
ATM derives two pressure curves by weighting trend strength against directional imbalance:
The Bull Pressure Index increases when upward pressure strengthens.
The Bear Pressure Index increases when downward pressure strengthens.
Both indices operate on a 0–100 scale and are designed to diverge during strong trends and converge during non-directional or compressed phases.
Optional smoothing can be applied to reduce noise and improve readability.
2. Compression / Squeeze Detection
When:
Trend strength weakens,
Bull and Bear pressure converge,
And convergence continues over time,
ATM highlights a compression zone, signaling reduced directional conviction.
These zones often precede directional expansion once pressure rebuilds.
3. Adaptive Trend Context
An adaptive smoothed price curve is displayed on the chart to provide trend context.
Color changes reflect short-term directional shifts, helping align pressure signals with price structure.
This component is contextual only and does not generate signals by itself.
4. Optional Trend Bias Reference
An optional EMA-50 can be enabled to help identify broader directional bias and align pressure behavior with the prevailing trend.
5. Step-Based Visualization
The pressure indices can be optionally step-compressed, improving clarity on fast or noisy charts by reducing minor fluctuations.
How to Use ATM
Rising Bull Pressure → strengthening buyer commitment
Rising Bear Pressure → strengthening seller commitment
Wide separation between indices → strong directional trend
Convergence with compression highlight → range or pre-breakout environment
Notes
ATM uses widely known market concepts such as trend strength, directional imbalance, and adaptive smoothing as conceptual inputs.
All calculations, pressure mapping logic, and compression detection are original implementations developed specifically for this script.
ATM is effective when used to assess participation quality, not as a standalone signal generator.
Disclaimer
This indicator is intended for analysis and educational purposes only.
It does not generate buy or sell signals.
Always apply proper risk management.
Happy Trading.
Vol Compression PRO
## Volatility Compression PRO (Fully Fixed)
This indicator is an **options-theory-inspired “volatility compression → expansion” detector**, enhanced for **crypto trading on 4H/1D**. It is designed as a **two-stage system**:
1. **Environment / Setup (1D)**: Detects a volatility-compressed regime where a breakout is more likely.
2. **Trigger (current chart TF, recommended 4H)**: Confirms the breakout using price structure + volatility expansion + (optional) volume.
A major feature of this script is that it **avoids TradingView’s 5000-bar historical limitation** by recommending a **Daily HV (1D) computation mode**, which is stable and not constrained by intraday bar counts.
---
## Core Concept
### Stage A — “Setup” (Daily Environment Filter)
On the **daily timeframe**, the script estimates realized volatility (HV) and produces an **Environment Score (0–100)** that reflects how “compressed” volatility is versus its own history.
A **Setup window** becomes active when:
* `Environment Score >= Setup Threshold`
* Optional “persistence” can keep Setup active for N days after triggering (to avoid edge flicker).
It also calculates a **daily directional bias** (Bull/Bear) using one of two methods:
* **Price vs Daily EMA** (default): bias is bullish if daily close > daily EMA, bearish if below.
* **MACD > 0**: bias is bullish if daily MACD line > 0, bearish if < 0.
This stage answers:
**“Are we in a volatility-compressed regime worth watching, and what is the higher-timeframe bias?”**
---
## HV / Compression Scoring Model
The script computes:
* **Short-term HV**: standard deviation of log returns over a short window
* **Long-term HV**: standard deviation of log returns over a long window
* **HV Percentile**: percentile rank of short HV over a historical lookback
* **Compression Ratio (S/L)**: short HV divided by long HV (`<1` implies compression, `>1` implies expansion)
* **Log-Z Deviation**: Z-score of log(HV) vs its historical distribution (more stable than raw HV Z-score)
Then it builds a **0–100 score** using weighted components:
* Low HV percentile (lower = more compressed)
* Compression ratio below 1 (more compression)
* Negative log-Z deviation (HV below typical)
This produces a single number: **“Explosion Potential (Environment Score)”**.
---
## Stage B — Trigger Logic (Current Chart Timeframe, recommended 4H)
A **Long Trigger** fires only when **all** of the following are true:
1. **Setup is active** (from daily environment score)
2. **Daily bias is bullish**
3. **Donchian breakout UP**
* Close breaks above the **previous bar’s** highest high of the last N bars
* Uses ` ` to avoid same-bar repaint-style lookback issues
4. **Volatility expansion confirmation**, via either:
* **Bollinger Band Width rising** (BBW turns up and exceeds its mean), and/or
* **ATR% rising** (ATR as % of price increases)
5. **Optional volume confirmation**:
* Volume > SMA(volume) × multiplier (if enabled)
A **Short Trigger** mirrors the long logic (requires bearish bias + downside Donchian break), and can be toggled on/off.
This stage answers:
**“Did price actually escape the compression box, and is volatility expanding with it?”**
---
## Two HV Calculation Modes (5000-bar limitation fix)
### 1) **Daily HV (Recommended)**
* Computes HV + Score + Setup on the **daily timeframe using `request.security(...,"D",...)`**
* This avoids intraday needing thousands of bars to represent many days
* Much more stable and reliable for regime detection
### 2) **Adaptive to Chart TF**
* Computes HV on the **current chart timeframe**
* Includes a strict conversion of “days → bars” and clamps lengths to **<= 4800 bars** to avoid the 5000-bar ceiling
* Still less robust on small timeframes, but won’t crash the script
---
## Visualization
* Plots the **Environment Score** as the main line (colored by score level)
* Draws reference lines at 70 / 50 / 30
* Highlights the background when **Setup** is active
* Optional trigger markers:
* **“L”** for long trigger (triangle up)
* **“S”** for short trigger (triangle down)
* A top-right info panel shows:
* HV short/long, HV percentile, compression ratio, log-Z deviation
* Environment score, Setup active status, daily bias
* Breakout status, expansion confirmation, volume confirmation
* Current mode (“1D fixed” vs “Adaptive”)
---
## Alerts
Built-in alert conditions:
* Setup active (compression window)
* Long Trigger
* Short Trigger
---
## Intended Use (Practical)
* Use **1D** to judge whether volatility is compressed and define bias
* Use **4H** to wait for a clean breakout plus expansion confirmation
* Avoid forcing entries during compression without a real breakout (“don’t catch falling knives” logic)
Eclipse Multi-Oscillator [JOAT]Eclipse Multi-Oscillator - Unified Momentum Confluence System
Introduction and Purpose
Eclipse Multi-Oscillator is an open-source indicator that combines four classic oscillators (RSI, Stochastic, CCI, and Williams %R) into a single unified view with confluence detection. The core problem this indicator solves is oscillator disagreement: traders often see RSI oversold while Stochastic is neutral, or CCI overbought while Williams %R is mid-range. This creates confusion about the true momentum state.
This indicator addresses that by displaying all four oscillators together and counting how many agree on overbought or oversold conditions, providing a clear confluence score that cuts through the noise.
Why These Four Oscillators Work Together
Each oscillator measures momentum differently, and their combination provides a more complete picture:
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index) - Measures the magnitude of recent price changes. Best at identifying momentum exhaustion.
2. Stochastic - Compares closing price to the high-low range. Best at identifying where price is within its recent range.
3. CCI (Commodity Channel Index) - Measures price deviation from statistical mean. Best at identifying unusual price movements.
4. Williams %R - Similar to Stochastic but inverted. Provides confirmation of Stochastic readings.
When 3 or more of these oscillators agree on overbought or oversold, the signal is significantly more reliable than any single oscillator alone.
How Confluence Scoring Works
The indicator counts how many oscillators are in extreme territory:
int obCount = 0
if rsi > rsiOB
obCount += 1
if stochK > stochOB
obCount += 1
if cci > cciOB
obCount += 1
if willRScaled > stochOB
obCount += 1
bool strongOverbought = obCount >= 3
bool strongOversold = osCount >= 3
The confluence score ranges from -4 (all oversold) to +4 (all overbought), with 0 being neutral.
Signal Types
Strong Oversold - 3+ oscillators below oversold threshold (potential bounce)
Strong Overbought - 3+ oscillators above overbought threshold (potential pullback)
OB/OS Exit - RSI leaving extreme zone with Stochastic confirmation (potential reversal)
Divergence - Price makes new high/low while RSI does not (potential reversal warning)
Dashboard Information
RSI/Stoch K/CCI/Will %R - Current values with zone status (OB/OS/MID)
Confluence - Overall bias (STRONG OS, STRONG OB, Lean Bull/Bear, Neutral)
OB Count - How many oscillators are overbought (0-4)
OS Count - How many oscillators are oversold (0-4)
How to Use This Indicator
For Reversal Trading:
1. Wait for Strong Oversold (3+ oscillators agree)
2. Look for bullish candlestick pattern or support level
3. Enter long with stop below recent low
4. Take profit when confluence returns to neutral or overbought
For Trend Confirmation:
1. Check confluence direction matches your trade bias
2. Avoid longs when confluence is strongly overbought
3. Avoid shorts when confluence is strongly oversold
For Divergence Trading:
1. Watch for "D" labels indicating RSI divergence
2. Bullish divergence at support = potential long
3. Bearish divergence at resistance = potential short
Input Parameters
RSI Length (14) - Period for RSI calculation
Stochastic K/D Length (14/3) - Periods for Stochastic
CCI Length (20) - Period for CCI
Williams %R Length (14) - Period for Williams %R
OB/OS Thresholds - Customizable levels for each oscillator
Timeframe Recommendations
15m-1H: Good for intraday momentum analysis
4H-Daily: Best for swing trading confluence
Very short timeframes may produce noisy signals
Limitations
All oscillators can remain in extreme territory during strong trends
Confluence does not predict direction, only identifies extremes
Divergence detection is simplified and may miss some patterns
Works best in ranging or moderately trending markets
Open-Source and Disclaimer
This script is published as open-source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 for educational purposes. The source code is fully visible and can be studied.
This indicator does not constitute financial advice. Oscillator confluence does not guarantee reversals. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.

Trend Speed Analyzer with Entries (Zeiierman)📈 Trend Speed Analyzer with Entry Signals (Zeiierman – Modified)
🔹 Overview
This indicator is a trend-following momentum system built around an adaptive (dynamic) moving average and a proprietary trend speed / wave strength engine.
It is designed to identify high-quality continuation entries after price confirms direction, not to predict tops or bottoms.
Best suited for:
Index futures (ES, NQ)
ETFs (SPY, QQQ)
Strongly trending stocks
Intraday or swing trading
🔹 Core Concepts
1️⃣ Dynamic Trend Line (Adaptive EMA)
Instead of using a fixed EMA length, this script dynamically adjusts:
EMA length based on normalized price movement
EMA responsiveness using an accelerator factor
Result:
Fast reaction during strong trends
Smooth behavior during choppy markets
Fewer false flips compared to traditional EMAs
This trend line acts as the primary regime filter.
2️⃣ Trend Speed & Wave Analysis
The indicator tracks trend speed, which represents cumulative directional pressure over time.
It also records:
Bullish wave sizes
Bearish wave sizes
Average vs maximum wave strength
Bull/Bear dominance
These statistics are displayed in an optional table to help assess:
Market bias
Momentum asymmetry
Whether the current move is weak, average, or exceptional
🔹 Entry Signal Logic (One Signal per Trend Shift)
Signals are not spammy.
Only one entry signal is allowed per crossover.
Long Entry Conditions
A long signal is generated when:
Price crosses above the dynamic trend line
A bullish candle forms
The candle body is at least X% of ATR (filters weak/doji candles)
The entire candle body is above the trend line
(Optional) Trend speed is positive
Short Entry Conditions
A short signal is generated when:
Price crosses below the dynamic trend line
A bearish candle forms
The candle body is at least X% of ATR
The entire candle body is below the trend line
(Optional) Trend speed is negative
📌 Once a signal fires, no additional signals will appear until a new crossover occurs.
🔹 What this indicator is NOT
❌ Not a mean-reversion system
❌ Not a prediction tool
❌ Not meant for sideways markets
This tool assumes structure → confirmation → continuation.
🔹 How to Trade It (Suggested Use)
Use higher timeframes (5m–30m) for cleaner signals
Trade in the direction of higher-timeframe bias
Combine with:
VWAP
Key levels (PDH / PDL / PMH / PML)
Market session context
🔹 Customization
Adjust Maximum Length for smoother vs faster trends
Adjust Accelerator Multiplier for sensitivity
Enable/disable speed filter for stricter momentum confirmation
ATR candle filter removes weak signals automatically

Crypto Professional Suite V2.0 [R2D2]Here is the complete professional documentation and strategy guide for your Crypto Pro Suite indicator. This guide is designed to help you install the tool correctly, understand its features, and utilize it to maximize your trading returns.
Crypto Pro Suite: The Professional Crypto Trader's All-In-One Toolkit
1. Introduction
The Crypto Pro Suite is a high-performance TradingView indicator designed to consolidate the five most critical technical analysis tools into a single, clean overlay.
Instead of cluttering your screen with multiple sub-charts (panes), this suite integrates Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, and Fibonacci Levels directly onto the price action. It transforms "oscillator" data (RSI and MACD) into actionable Buy/Sell signals on your candles and a real-time Status Dashboard.
Key Features:
Zero Clutter: No bottom panes required; maximizes screen real estate for price analysis.
Real-Time Dashboard: Instant readout of Trend, RSI status, and MACD momentum.
Dynamic Overlay: Indicators move fluidly with your candles.
2. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps precisely to ensure the "Overlay" feature functions correctly.
Clean Slate: If you have any previous version of this script on your chart, remove it now (click the 'X' next to the indicator name).
Open Editor: Click the Pine Editor tab at the bottom of your TradingView screen.
Paste Code: Delete any existing text and paste the Final Polished Script provided in the previous response.
Save & Add: Click Save, then click Add to chart.
Note: By adding it fresh, TradingView forces the script to lock onto the price candles rather than a separate pane.
Verify: You should see colored lines (MAs, Bollinger Bands) directly on top of your candlesticks and a Dashboard in the top right.
3. Using the Script: Settings & Customization
Access the settings by clicking the Gear Icon next to the indicator name.
Dashboard: You can toggle the info panel On/Off or change its size (Tiny to Large) to fit your screen resolution.
Toggle Control: Each of the 5 indicators has a "Show" checkbox. You can turn off noise (e.g., hide Bollinger Bands) when you only want to focus on Trend (MAs).
Inputs:
MAs: Defaults are 50/200 (Classic Golden Cross setup).
RSI: Default is 14 length, 70/30 limits.
Fibs: Default lookback is 200 bars. Increase this number to find Support/Resistance over a longer timeframe.
4. Maximizing Returns: Strategy & Examples
To maximize returns, professionals do not use indicators in isolation. They look for Confluence—where multiple indicators signal the same direction simultaneously.
A. Moving Averages (Trend Filter)
The Setup: The script plots a Fast MA (Yellow) and Slow MA (Blue).
Strategy:
Golden Cross (Buy): When the Yellow line crosses above the Blue line. This signals the start of a long-term bull trend.
Death Cross (Sell): When the Yellow line crosses below the Blue line.
Pro Tip: Never go long (Buy) if price is significantly below the Blue (Slow) MA.
B. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Setup: Instead of a line graph, you will see labels on the candles: "RSI Buy" (Green) or "RSI Sell" (Red).
Strategy:
Mean Reversion: If you see an "RSI Sell" label, the asset is Overbought. This is often a signal to take profit, not necessarily to short.
The Dip Buy: Look for an "RSI Buy" label occurring during a general uptrend (price above Slow MA). This indicates a healthy pullback that is ready to bounce.
C. MACD (Momentum)
The Setup: Green Triangles (Buy) and Red Triangles (Sell) appear above/below candles.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: Use MACD to confirm the Moving Average. If price crosses above the MA and you get a Green MACD Triangle, the breakout has high momentum and is likely to succeed.
Exit Signal: If you are in a Long trade and see a Red MACD Triangle, momentum is fading. Consider tightening your stop-loss.
D. Bollinger Bands (Volatility)
The Setup: A shaded teal channel surrounding the price.
Strategy:
The Squeeze: When the bands get very narrow, a massive move is coming. Wait for the breakout.
Walking the Bands: In a strong crypto bull run, price will hug the Upper Band. If price closes outside the band and then immediately closes inside it, it is a reversal signal (Sell).
E. Fibonacci Retracement (Support/Resistance)
The Setup: Dynamic horizontal lines (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 100%) based on recent highs/lows.
Strategy:
The Golden Pocket: The most powerful buy zone in crypto is between the 0.5 and 0.618 lines.
Execution: If price falls to the 0.618 line and you see an "RSI Buy" or MACD Green Triangle appear at that exact level, this is a high-probability entry.
5. The "Perfect Trade" Example
Putting it all together for maximum profit.
Context: The Dashboard says "MA Trend: Bullish."
Trigger: Price pulls back down and touches the 0.618 Fibonacci line.
Confirmation 1: Price is also touching the Lower Bollinger Band (acting as dynamic support).
Confirmation 2: An "RSI Buy" label appears on the candle.
Action: BUY.
Stop Loss: Place just below the 100% Fib line.
Take Profit: Sell half at the 0% Fib line (recent high) and let the rest ride.

3. How to Set Up Alerts
This is the most powerful feature of v2.0. You can set alerts for specific conditions without needing to write code.
1. Click the "Alert" Button: Located on the top menu bar of TradingView (looks like an alarm clock).
2. Condition: In the "Condition" dropdown menu, select CSP v2.
3. Select Trigger: A second dropdown will appear. Choose the specific signal you want to track:
MACD Buy Signal: Triggers when MACD crosses bullish.
RSI Oversold (<30): Triggers when price is mathematically cheap.
Volatility Squeeze: Triggers when a big move is imminent.
Price Cross Over 200 EMA: Triggers on major trend reversals.
4. Options: Select "Once Per Bar Close" (Recommended to avoid false signals during the candle fluctuation).
5. Notify: Check "Notify in App" or "Send Email".
6. Create: Click Create. You will now be notified even if you are asleep.
4. The Dashboard (HUD)
The on-screen table gives you an instant "Health Check" of the asset.
Indicator Status Meaning
RSI (14) Green (<30) Oversold. Look for long entries.
Red (>70) Overbought. Look to take profit.
MACD BULLISH Momentum is up.
TREND UPTREND Price is above the 200 EMA (White Line).
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE CRITICAL: Market is coiling. A breakout is coming soon.
VOLUME ACCUMULATION Whales are buying (OBV is rising).
5. Configuration & Visuals
Hover over the indicator name on the chart and click the Settings (Gear) icon.
Toggle Indicators: Uncheck any indicator (like Bollinger Bands or EMA 20) to hide them if you want a cleaner view. The Dashboard will still calculate them in the background.
Dashboard Position: Move the table to any corner or turn it off entirely if it blocks your price view.
Color Themes: Adjust the RSI background colors or EMA colors to fit your chart theme (Light/Dark mode).
6. Best Practices
The "Squeeze" Play: If you get a Volatility Squeeze alert, do not enter immediately. Wait for the price to break out of the Bollinger Bands. The squeeze is the "Get Ready" signal; the breakout is the "Go" signal.
The "Trend" Filter: If the 200 EMA (White Line) is above the price (Downtrend), ignore all "MACD Buy" alerts. Trade with the macro trend, not against it.
Photon Price Action Scanner [JOAT]Photon Price Action Scanner - Multi-Pattern Recognition with Adaptive Filtering
Introduction and Purpose
Photon Price Action Scanner is an open-source overlay indicator that automates the detection of 15+ candlestick patterns while filtering them through multiple confirmation layers. The core problem this indicator solves is pattern noise: raw candlestick pattern detection produces too many signals, most of which fail because they lack context. This indicator addresses that by combining pattern recognition with trend alignment, volume-weighted strength scoring, velocity confirmation, and an adaptive neural bias filter.
The combination of these components is not arbitrary. Each filter addresses a specific weakness in standalone pattern detection:
Trend alignment ensures patterns appear in favorable market structure
Volume-weighted strength filters out weak patterns with low conviction
Velocity confirmation identifies momentum behind the pattern
Neural bias filter adapts to recent price behavior to avoid counter-trend signals
What Makes This Indicator Original
While candlestick pattern scanners exist, this indicator's originality comes from:
1. Multi-Layer Filtering System - Patterns must pass through trend, strength, velocity, and neural bias filters before generating signals. This dramatically reduces false positives compared to simple pattern detection.
2. Adaptive Neural Bias Filter - A custom momentum-adjusted EMA that learns from recent price action using a configurable learning rate. This is not a standard moving average but an adaptive filter that accelerates during trends and smooths during consolidation.
3. Pattern Strength Scoring - Each pattern receives a strength score based on volume ratio and body size, allowing traders to focus on high-conviction setups rather than every pattern occurrence.
4. Smart Cooldown System - Prevents signal overlap by enforcing minimum bar spacing between pattern labels, keeping charts clean even when "Show All Patterns" is enabled.
How the Components Work Together
Step 1: Pattern Detection
The indicator scans for 15 candlestick patterns using precise mathematical definitions:
// Example: Bullish Engulfing requires the current bullish candle to completely
// engulf the previous bearish candle with a larger body
isBullishEngulfing() =>
bool pattern = close < open and close > open and
open <= close and close >= open and
close - open > open - close
pattern
// Example: Three White Soldiers requires three consecutive bullish candles
// with each opening within the previous body and closing higher
isThreeWhiteSoldiers() =>
bool pattern = close > open and close > open and close > open and
close < close and close < close and
open > open and open < close and
open > open and open < close
pattern
Step 2: Strength Calculation
Each detected pattern receives a strength score combining volume and body size:
float volRatio = avgVolume > 0 ? volume / avgVolume : 1.0
float bodySize = math.abs(close - open) / close
float baseStrength = (volRatio + bodySize * 100) / 2
This ensures patterns with above-average volume and large bodies score higher than weak patterns on low volume.
Step 3: Trend Alignment
Patterns are checked against the trend direction using an EMA:
float trendEMA = ta.ema(close, i_trendPeriod)
int trendDir = close > trendEMA ? 1 : close < trendEMA ? -1 : 0
Bullish patterns in uptrends and bearish patterns in downtrends receive priority.
Step 4: Neural Bias Filter
The adaptive filter uses a momentum-adjusted EMA that responds to price changes:
neuralEMA(series float src, simple int period, simple float lr) =>
var float neuralValue = na
var float momentum = 0.0
if na(neuralValue)
neuralValue := src
float error = src - neuralValue
float adjustment = error * lr
momentum := momentum * 0.9 + adjustment * 0.1
neuralValue := neuralValue + adjustment + momentum
neuralValue
The learning rate (lr) controls how quickly the filter adapts. Higher values make it more responsive; lower values make it smoother.
Step 5: Velocity Confirmation
Price velocity (rate of change) must exceed the average velocity for strong signals:
float velocity = ta.roc(close, i_trendPeriod)
float avgVelocity = ta.sma(velocity, i_trendPeriod)
bool velocityBull = velocity > avgVelocity * 1.5
Step 6: Signal Classification
Signals are classified based on how many filters they pass:
Strong Pattern : Pattern + strength threshold + trend alignment + neural bias + velocity
Ultra Pattern : Strong pattern + gap in same direction + velocity confirmation
Watch Pattern : Pattern detected but not all filters passed
Detected Patterns
Classic Reversal Patterns:
Bullish/Bearish Engulfing - Complete body engulfment with larger body
Hammer - Long lower wick (2x body), small upper wick, bullish context
Shooting Star - Long upper wick (2x body), small lower wick, bearish context
Morning Star - Three-bar bullish reversal with small middle body
Evening Star - Three-bar bearish reversal with small middle body
Piercing Line - Bullish candle closing above midpoint of previous bearish candle
Dark Cloud Cover - Bearish candle closing below midpoint of previous bullish candle
Bullish/Bearish Harami - Small body contained within previous larger body

How to Use This Indicator
For Reversal Trading:
1. Wait for a pattern to appear at a key support/resistance level
2. Check that the Action shows "BUY" or "SELL" (not just "WATCH")
3. Confirm the Neural Bias aligns with your trade direction
4. Use the strength score to gauge conviction (higher is better)
For Trend Continuation:
1. Identify the trend using the Trend row in the dashboard
2. Look for patterns that align with the trend (bullish patterns in uptrends)
3. Ultra signals indicate the strongest continuation setups
For Filtering Noise:
1. Keep "Show All Patterns" disabled to see only filtered signals
2. Increase "Pattern Strength Filter" to see fewer, higher-quality patterns
3. Enable "Velocity Confirmation" to require momentum behind patterns
Input Parameters
Scan Sensitivity (1.0) - Overall detection sensitivity multiplier
Pattern Strength Filter (3) - Minimum strength score for strong signals
Trend Period (20) - EMA period for trend determination
Show All Patterns (false) - Display all patterns regardless of filters
Advanced Patterns (true) - Enable soldiers/crows/tweezer detection
Gap Analysis (true) - Enable gap detection and boxes
Velocity Confirmation (true) - Require velocity for strong signals
Neural Bias Filter (true) - Enable adaptive trend filter
Neural Period (50) - Lookback for neural bias calculation
Neural Learning Rate (0.12) - Adaptation speed (0.01-0.5)
Timeframe Recommendations
1H-4H: Best balance of signal frequency and reliability
Daily: Fewer but more significant patterns
15m-30m: More signals, requires tighter filtering (increase strength threshold)
Limitations
Pattern detection is mechanical and does not consider fundamental context
Neural bias filter may lag during rapid trend reversals
Gap detection requires clean price data without after-hours gaps
Strength scoring favors high-volume patterns, which may miss valid low-volume setups

Volume-Confirmed Trend Thrust IndicatorOVERVIEW
This indicator combines trend strength, momentum & volume analysis to generate high-conviction buy and sell signals. It is based on the "Volume Confirmation for a Trend System" (VCTS) by Buff Pelz Dormeier (TASC August 2024), which I have taken the liberty of 'buffing up' (heh!) by swapping out original VPCI component with the ATR-aware Net Accumulation Flow (NAF) indicator derived from Markos Katsanos' VPN indicator (TASC April 2021).
The result is a system that only triggers buy signals when three independent conditions align:
• A strong trend exists (ADX)
• Momentum is bullish (TTI)
• Institutional accumulation is detected (NAF)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
COMPONENTS
█ ADX (Average Directional Index)
Measures trend strength regardless of direction. A reading above 30 indicates a strong trend worth trading. This filter prevents signals during choppy, sideways markets.
█ TTI (Trend Thrust Indicator)
Dormeier's volume-weighted MACD variant that provides momentum direction. Unlike standard MACD, TTI uses Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA) and applies a volume multiplier that amplifies signals when volume confirms price movement. When TTI crosses above its signal line, momentum is considered bullish.
█ NAF (Net Accumulation Flow)
The key enhancement - in my humble opinion - over the original VCTS. NAF classifies each bar's volume as:
• Accumulation: Price moved UP more than 10% of ATR
• Distribution: Price moved DOWN more than 10% of ATR
• Neutral: Price movement too small to be meaningful (filtered as noise)
NAF then calculates the net flow (Accumulation Volume - Distribution Volume) over a 30-bar lookback period, normalized and smoothed. This provides a cleaner read on whether institutions are accumulating or distributing.
Perceived benefits of NAF:
• ATR-based noise filtering eliminates false readings from small price movements
• Rolling 30-bar accumulation captures sustained institutional activity
• Empirically calibrated thresholds based on 717 stocks / 360,000 observations
• 3-period EMA smoothing reduces whipsaws
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL LOGIC
🟢 BUY SIGNAL
All three conditions must be true simultaneously:
1. ADX > 30 (strong trend)
2. TTI > Signal Line (bullish momentum)
3. NAF > 16 (accumulation)
Signals fire on the first bar where all conditions align, preventing repeated signals during sustained bullish periods.
🔴 SELL SIGNAL
Exit when volume flow turns negative:
• NAF < -9 (below neutral zone, indicating distribution).
This indicator retains Dormeier's asymmetric approach (strict entry, quick exit) to help protect profits when institutional support fades.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NAF THRESHOLD REFERENCE
Based on proprietary empirical calibration (717 stocks, 360K observations):
>= +35 │ Strong Accumulation (P95, ~5% of days)
>= +28 │ Solid Accumulation (P90, ~10% of days)
>= +16 │ Moderate Accumulation (P75) ← Default Buy Threshold
-9 to +16 │ Neutral Zone (~50% of days)
<= -9 │ Below Neutral ← Default Sell Threshold
<= -22 │ Solid Distribution (P10)
<= -29 │ Strong Distribution (P5)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS
Setting for all 3 variables (ADX, TTI & NAF), alerts and visual conditional formatting are configurable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
USAGE TIPS
1. Works best on daily timeframe for swing trading
2. More effective on liquid stocks where volume data is meaningful
3. Consider using NAF threshold of 28 (P90) for higher conviction entries
5. Combine with price action analysis (support/resistance, RS, chart patterns)

Smart Divergence [Reason Edition]Stop trading divergences "in thin air". Start trading structural confluence.
Most divergence indicators fail for one reason: they signal reversals based solely on oscillator math (RSI vs. Price), ignoring the chart's structure. This leads to costly entries against strong trends.
Smart Divergence solves this by applying an Institutional Context Filter. It does not simply alert you of a divergence; it validates the signal against key market structures ("Walls") and—crucially—tells you exactly why the signal appeared directly on the label.
🚀 How It Works: The "Smart Filter" Logic
This script operates on a strict rule: "No Structure, No Signal."
For a Bullish or Bearish divergence to be valid, price must not only diverge from RSI but also physically touch or react to one of four key structural levels:
BB (Bollinger Bands): Rejection due to volatility extension (2.0 StdDev).
KC (Keltner Channels): Rejection due to average range deviation (1.5 ATR).
Pivots (S1/R1): Rejection at standard daily algorithmic levels.
VWAP: Rejection at the institutional average price (Volume Weighted Average Price).
🏷️ Dynamic "Reason" Labels
This is the core feature of this edition. The label on your chart adapts dynamically to show the specific confluence behind the trade.
Examples you will see:
SMART BULL (BB) → The divergence is valid because price hit the Bollinger Band.
SMART BULL (VWAP) → The divergence is valid because price bounced off the VWAP.
SMART BULL (BB VWAP) → High Probability: Price hit the Bollinger Band AND the VWAP simultaneously.
The Logic: The more "Reasons" (acronyms) appear inside the label, the stronger the structural wall, and the higher the probability of a reversal.
🛠️ Settings & Features
🛡️ Smart Filter (Toggle):
ON (Default): Only shows high-quality signals that occur at Support/Resistance zones.
OFF: Shows all raw technical divergences (standard mode).
Alerts Included: Setup custom alerts for "Smart Bull" (Buys) and "Smart Bear" (Sells).
Zero Repainting: Signals are confirmed upon candle close/pivot confirmation.
📋 How to Trade It
Wait for the Label: Do not guess. Wait for the SMART label to appear.
Check the Reason: Look at the text in parenthesis (...).
Single reason (e.g., KC) is a valid setup.
Cluster reasons (e.g., BB S1 VWAP) represent a "Concrete Wall" and are ideal for aggressive entries.
Context: Works best on Intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) for scalping, and Daily timeframe for Swing Trading bottoms/tops.

Ichimoku With GradingDescription:
This indicator is an enhanced version of the classic Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, designed to provide traders with an objective, quantitative assessment of trend strength. By breaking down the complex Ichimoku system into specific conditions, this script calculates a "Total Score" to help visualize the confluence of bullish or bearish signals.
How It Works
The core of this script is a 7-Point Grading System. Instead of relying on a single crossover, the script evaluates 7 distinct Ichimoku conditions simultaneously.
The Grading Criteria:
Tenkan > Kijun: Checks for the classic TK Cross (1 point if Bullish, -1 if Bearish).
Price vs TK/KJ: Checks if the Close is above both the Tenkan and Kijun (Bullish) or below both (Bearish).
Future Cloud: Analyzes the Kumo (Cloud) projected 26 bars ahead. If Senkou Span A > Senkou Span B, it is bullish.
Chikou Span: The Lagging Span validation. It compares the current Close to the Highs, Lows, and Cloud levels of 26 bars ago to ensure there are no obstacles.
Close > Tenkan: Checks immediate short-term momentum.
Close > Current Senkou Span A: Checks if price is above the current cloud's Span A.
Close > Current Senkou Span B: Checks if price is above the current cloud's Span B.
Total Score & Signals:
Maximum Score (+7): When all 7 conditions are met, a Green Triangle is plotted above the bar, indicating a strong trend confluence.
Minimum Score (-7): When all 7 conditions are negative, a Red Triangle is plotted below the bar.
Neutral/Mixed: Scores between -6 and +6 indicate a mixed trend or consolidation phase.
Dashboard Features
A table is displayed in the top-right corner to provide real-time data:
Score Breakdown: Shows the status of every individual metric (1 or -1).
Total Score: The sum of all metrics.
Distance to Tenkan %: This calculates the percentage distance between the Close and the Tenkan-sen.
Usage: Traders often use the Tenkan-sen as a trailing stop-loss level. This percentage helps gauge how extended the price is from the mean; a high percentage may indicate an overextended move, while a low percentage indicates a tight consolidation.
How to Use Ichimoku Lines
Beyond the grading system, this indicator plots the standard Ichimoku lines, which are powerful tools for price action analysis:
Support & Resistance: The Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun-sen (Base Line) act as dynamic support and resistance levels. In a strong trend, price will often respect the Tenkan-sen. In a moderate trend, it may pull back to the Kijun-sen before continuing.
The Kumo (Cloud): The edges of the current cloud (Senkou Span A and B) act as major support and resistance zones. A thick cloud represents strong S/R, while a thin cloud is easily broken.
Trend Identification: Generally, if the price is above the Cloud, the trend is bullish. If below, it is bearish. If the price is inside the Cloud, the market is considered to be in a noise/ranging zone.
Screenshots
1. Bitcoin Daily View:
Here you can see the dashboard in action. The grading system helps filter out noise by requiring all conditions to align before generating a signal.
2. Gold (XAUUSD) Example:
An example of a bearish confluence where the score hit -7, triggering a sell signal as the price broke through all Ichimoku support levels.
3. Euro (EURUSD) Mixed State:
This example shows a market in transition. While some metrics are positive (Green), others are negative (Red), resulting in a score of 4. This prevents premature entries during choppy market conditions.
Settings
Lengths: All Ichimoku periods (Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou B, Displacement) are fully customizable in the settings menu to fit your preferred timeframe or trading style (e.g., Doubled settings for crypto).

Gold Projection DivergenceGOLD PROJECTION DIVERGENCE
Oscillator Companion for the Gold Macro Projection Model
OVERVIEW
The Gold Projection Divergence oscillator quantifies how far gold is trading from its projected fair value. While the main indicator shows where gold should be, this oscillator shows how extreme the mispricing is—providing precise timing signals for entries and exits.
HOW IT WORKS
The oscillator calculates the difference between actual gold price and the projected value, then normalizes it as a Z-score . This statistical measure shows how many standard deviations gold is trading away from its projected fair value.
Z > +2 — Gold is 2+ standard deviations above fair value (extremely overvalued)
Z > +1 — Gold is moderately overvalued
Z = 0 — Gold is trading at projected fair value
Z < -1 — Gold is moderately undervalued
Z < -2 — Gold is 2+ standard deviations below fair value (extremely undervalued)
VISUAL ELEMENTS
Histogram — Color-coded divergence magnitude
Yellow Line — Smoothed Z-score
Dashed Lines — +2 and -2 standard deviation levels
Dotted Lines — +1 and -1 standard deviation levels
Triangle Markers — Extreme crossover signals
Circle Markers — Zero-line crossings
HISTOGRAM COLORS
Dark Red — Z > +2 (extreme overvaluation)
Orange — Z between +1 and +2
Light Orange — Z between 0 and +1
Light Green — Z between -1 and 0
Green — Z between -2 and -1
Lime — Z < -2 (extreme undervaluation)
COMPONENT TABLE
The breakdown table shows divergence from each individual factor:
Silver — Is gold over/undervalued relative to silver?
M2 — Is gold over/undervalued relative to money supply?
DXY — Is gold over/undervalued relative to dollar strength?
Equity — Is gold over/undervalued relative to stocks?
TIPS — Is gold over/undervalued relative to real rates?
TRADING APPLICATIONS
Mean Reversion Strategy
Enter LONG when Z < -2 and begins rising
Enter SHORT when Z > +2 and begins falling
Use zero-line crossings for trend confirmation
Trend Following Filter
Only take long trades when Z < 0 (undervalued)
Only take short trades when Z > 0 (overvalued)
Divergence Confirmation
Bearish: Price makes new highs while Z-score makes lower highs
Bullish: Price makes new lows while Z-score makes higher lows
ALERTS
Extreme Undervaluation — Z crosses below -2
Extreme Overvaluation — Z crosses above +2
Moderate Undervaluation — Z crosses below -1
Moderate Overvaluation — Z crosses above +1
Divergence Turned Positive — Crossed above zero
Divergence Turned Negative — Crossed below zero
COMBINED USAGE
For best results, use both indicators together :
Main Indicator — Visual context of actual vs. projected on price chart
Divergence Oscillator — Precise measurement for timing decisions
The main indicator shows where gold should be; the oscillator shows how extreme the mispricing is and when to act.
