Multivariate Kalman Filter🙏🏻 I see no1 ever posted an open source Multivariate Kalman filter on TV, so here it is, for you. Tested and mathematically correct implementation, with numerical safeties in place that do not affect the final results at all. That’s the main purpose of this drop, just to make the tool available here. Linear algebra everywhere, Neo would approve 4 sure.
...
Personally I haven't found any real use case of it for myself, aside from a very specific one I will explain later, but others usually do…
Almost every1 in the quant industry who uses Kalman is in fact misusing it, because by its real definition, it should be applied to Not the exact known values (e.g as real ticks provided by transparent audited regulated exchange), but “measurements” of those ‘with errors’.
If your measurements don’t have errors or you have real precise data, by its internal formulas Kalman will output the exact inputs. So most who use it come up with some imaginary errors of sorts, like from some kind of imaginary fair price etc. The important easy to miss point, the errors of your measurements have to be symmetric around its mean ‘ at least ’, if errors are biased, Kalman won’t provide.
For most tasks there are better tools, including other state space models , but still Multivariate Kalman is a very powerful instrument, you can make it do all kinds of stuff. Also as a state space model it can also provide confidence & prediction intervals without explicit calculations of dem.
...
In this script I included 2 example use cases, the first one is the classic tho perfectly working misuse, the second one is what I do with it:
One
Naive, estimates “hidden” adaptive moving regression endpoint. The result you can see on the chart above. You can imagine that your real datapoints are in fact non perfect measures of some hidden state, and by defining measurement noise and process noise, and by constructing the input matrixes in certain ways, you can express what that state should be.
Two
Upscaling tick lattice, aka modelling prices as if native tick size would’ve been lower. Kinda very specific task, mostly needed in HFT or just for analytical purposes. Some like ZN have huge tick sizes, they are traded a lot but barely do more than 20 ticks range in a session. The idea is to model raw data as AR2 process , learn the phi1 and phi2, make one point forecasts based on dem, and the process noise would be the variance of errors from these forecasts. The measurement noise here is legit, it’s quantization noise based on tick size, no need in olympic gold in mental gymnastics xd
^^ artificially upscaling ZN futures tick lattice
...
I really made it available there so You guys can take it and some crazy ish with it, just let state space models abduct your conciseness and never look back

ATR Trailing Stop (Long or Short Selectable)The ATR Trailing Stop (Long or Short Selectable) will start calculating on a set date that you specify. This is great because you want to trail the price from the breakout day or even after exceeding specific price level (can be your breakeven level or even to capture more of the upside after the price target is met).
Entry price: If you act at the close of the day, you can leave this value as 0 and it will take the close of the day for the initial protective stop-loss calculation. You can choose to add a value such as the pattern boundary and in that case it will subtract the initial protective stop-loss from the pattern boundary and not the close of the day. If you use a scaling in tactic during the day (buying in tranches intraday as the breakout takes place) and your average purchase price is different than the close of the day, you can also plug that number in to calculate the initial protective stop-loss.
This is a modified version as many followers asked for ATR trailing for short setups. Now you can select the Long/Short trade setup from the drop down menu.
ATR period: You can select the ATR period. It can be 10 day, 14 day or 30 day or any ATR period of your choice.
ATR Multiplier for Stop-loss: This is the multiplier that you want to trail the price with. From the highest level price reached it will trail the price with a 3 x ATR () distance. The higher the number, the wider the trailing stop-loss. A multiplier of 1 will trail the price so close that and adverse movement can result in triggering the stop-loss.
Custom Value for First day Trailing Stop: This is my favorite part. For aggressive risk management, your initial protective stop can be smaller than what the ATR Trailing Stop will use in its calculation after entry day. In this case you can take 1xATR () or even with FX and Futures you can apply 0.5xATR() as the first day to calculate initial protective stop. The protective stop turns into a trailing stop after the first day.

Key Levels by ROMKey Levels Pro — Long Description
Key Levels Pro is a precision-built market structure indicator designed to instantly identify the most influential price zones driving intraday and swing-level movement. Using adaptive algorithms that track liquidity pockets, volume concentration, volatility shifts, and historical reaction points, the indicator automatically plots dynamic support and resistance levels that institutions consistently respect.
Unlike static horizontal lines or manually drawn zones, Key Levels Pro continuously updates as new order-flow and volatility data comes in. This ensures the indicator reflects the real-time balance of buyers and sellers, not outdated swing points.
The system classifies levels by strength, frequency of reaction, and current market interest. This helps traders instantly see which levels are likely to produce continuation, reversals, or liquidity grabs. High-probability zones are clearly highlighted, allowing you to plan entries, scale-outs, stop placements, and invalidations with confidence.
Whether you trade futures, equities, crypto, or forex, Key Levels Pro becomes the backbone of your strategy. It simplifies complex price action into clean, actionable zones—and makes it easy to anticipate where momentum pauses, accelerates, or completely shifts.

Gap & Go Day Trading Tool - Key Levels, Alerts & Setup GradingVisualizes Gap & Go setups with automatic gap detection, pre-market levels, and breakout signals. Shows: ✅ Gap % with quality rating (5%/10%/20%+) ✅ Pre-market high/low ✅ First candle range ✅ 50% gap fill target ✅ VWAP ✅ Relative volume. Includes setup grading system (A+ to C), entry signals on PM high breakouts, and 6 customizable alerts. Perfect for momentum day traders focusing on gapping stocks.
Full Description
█ OVERVIEW
The Gap & Go indicator automatically identifies and visualizes gap trading setups - one of the most popular momentum day trading strategies. When a stock gaps up significantly from the prior close, it often signals strong buying interest and potential for continuation moves.
This indicator displays all the key levels you need to trade gaps effectively, grades setup quality, and alerts you to breakout opportunities.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates the gap percentage between yesterday's close and today's open, then displays critical support/resistance levels that gap traders watch:
Gap Zone → The price range between prior close and gap open
Pre-Market High/Low → Key breakout and support levels from extended hours
First Candle Range → Opening range that often defines intraday direction
50% Gap Fill → Common retracement target and support level
VWAP → Institutional reference point
█ GAP CLASSIFICATION
Gaps are automatically classified by magnitude:
🔥 Qualifying Gap (5%+) → Meets minimum threshold for gap trading
🔥🔥 Strong Gap (10%+) → Ideal gap size for momentum plays
🔥🔥🔥 Monster Gap (20%+) → Exceptional move requiring extra attention
Background color changes based on gap quality for instant visual identification.
█ SETUP GRADING SYSTEM
The indicator grades each setup from A+ to C based on multiple factors:
- Gap magnitude (qualifying vs strong)
- Relative volume (2x+ vs 5x+ average)
- Price position relative to VWAP
A+ Setup (4-5 points) → High probability
A Setup (3 points) → Good setup
B Setup (2 points) → Moderate
C Setup (0-1 points) → Weak/avoid
█ ENTRY SIGNALS
Triangle signals appear when price breaks above key levels:
▲ Lime Triangle → Breaking above Pre-Market High
▲ Aqua Triangle → Breaking above First Candle High
Signals require volume confirmation by default (configurable).
█ KEY LEVELS DISPLAYED
- Prior Close (Orange) → Gap reference point
- Pre-Market High (Lime) → Primary breakout level
- Pre-Market Low (Red) → Support if gap fails
- First Candle Range (Aqua box) → Opening range breakout levels
- 50% Gap Fill (Yellow dotted) → Common support/target
- VWAP (Purple) → Institutional pivot

4. Wait for price to consolidate near pre-market high
5. Enter on breakout above PM High with volume confirmation
6. Use 50% gap fill or PM Low as stop loss reference
7. Monitor VWAP - staying above is bullish
█ BEST PRACTICES
✓ Focus on A and A+ setups
✓ Require strong relative volume (5x+)
✓ Trade in the direction of the gap (long for gap ups)
✓ Watch for gap fill as potential support
✓ Be cautious if price falls below VWAP
✓ First 30-60 minutes typically have best momentum
█ TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS
- 1-minute: Scalping, precise entries
- 5-minute: Most common for gap trading (recommended)
- 15-minute: Swing entries, less noise
█ NOTES
- Pre-market levels require extended hours data enabled
- First candle range is based on the first regular market candle
- Works on stocks, ETFs, and futures
- Gaps down are detected but focus is on gap-up setups
█ DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational purposes only. Gap trading involves significant risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
Nifty Breakout Levels Strategy (v7 Hybrid)Nifty Breakout Levels Strategy (v7 Hybrid – Compounding from Start Date)
Instrument / TF: Designed for current-month NIFTY futures on 1-hour timeframe, with at most 1 trade per day.
Entry logic: Uses a 10-bar breakout box with a 0.3% buffer, plus EMA-based trend + proximity filter.
Longs: price in breakout-high zone, above EMA50/EMA200 and within proximityPts.
Shorts: price in breakout-low zone and strong downtrend (EMA10 < EMA20 < EMA50 < EMA200, price below EMA200).
Trades only when ATR(14) > atrTradeThresh and during regular hours (till 15:15).
Risk / exits: Stop loss is ATR-adaptive – max of slBasePoints (100 pts) and ATR * atrSLFactor; TP is fixed (tpPoints, e.g. 350 pts).
Longs have stepped trailing profit levels (100/150/200/250/320 pts) that lock in gains on pullbacks.
Shorts have trailing loss-reduction levels (80/120/140 pts) to cut improving losses.
Additional exit: 1H EMA50 2-bar reversal against the position, plus optional EOD flatten at 3:15 PM.
Compounding engine: From a chosen start date, equity is rebased to startCapital, and lot size scales dynamically as equity / capitalPerLot, with automatic lot reductions at three drawdown thresholds (ddCut1 / 2 / 3).
Automation: All entries and exits are exposed via alertconditions (long/short entry & exit) so the strategy can be connected to broker/webhook automation.
ORB + Fair Value Gaps (FVG/iFVG) Suite with Daily 50% MidlineA complete smart-money–focused price-action toolkit combining the New York Open Range Breakout (ORB), ICT-style Fair Value Gaps, Inverted FVGs, and a dynamic Daily 50% Midline.
Designed for traders who want a clean, fast, and highly visual way to track liquidity, imbalances, and intraday directional bias.
📌 Key Features
1. NY Session ORB (09:30–09:45 New York Time)
Automatically plots:
ORB High
ORB Low
Labels for ORB high/low
Optional 5-minute chart restriction
Lines extend forward for easy reference
Used to identify breakout conditions, liquidity sweeps, and directional bias into the morning session.
📌 2. ICT-Style Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Full automated detection of bullish & bearish FVGs based on the classic 3-candle displacement structure:
Bullish FVG: high < low

Once price fully fills an FVG, it automatically becomes an iFVG, shown with:
Custom iFVG colour
Custom border style
Extension to the right
Once price trades through the zone from the opposite side, the iFVG is considered “consumed” and:
It stops extending
And optionally auto-deletes based on user settings
This makes it easy to track meaningful imbalances that turn into liquidity pockets.
📌 4. “Show Only After ORB” Filter
Optionally hide all FVGs/iFVGs formed before the ORB completes.
This is especially useful for intraday strategies focused on NY session structure only.

warning i am not a professional coder.
DOES NOT integrate lower time frame charts. So if you have it on 15min chart, you get 15min ranges, if you are 1min chart, the ranges are adjustable by the 1min. hopefully a new rev coming soon that fixes this
also provides the futures Halfgap pivot 50% of NY open and previous close
works with adjustable ranges.
Debt-Cycle vs Bitcoin-CycleDebt-Cycle vs Bitcoin-Cycle Indicator
The Debt-Cycle vs Bitcoin-Cycle indicator is a macro-economic analysis tool that compares traditional financial market cycles (debt/credit cycles) against Bitcoin market cycles.

What It Measures
Finance-Cycle (White Line)
Tracks traditional financial market health through:
Currencies: USD strength (DXY), global currency weights (USDWCU, EURWCU)
Commodities: Oil, gold, natural gas, agricultural products, and Bitcoin price
Corporate Bonds: Investment-grade spreads, high-yield spreads, credit conditions
Monetary Aggregates: M2 money supply, foreign exchange reserves (weighted by currency)
Treasury Bonds: Yield curve (2Y/10Y, 3M/10Y), term premiums, long-term rates
Bitcoin-Cycle (Orange Line)
Tracks Bitcoin market positioning through:
On-Chain Metrics:
MVRV Ratio (Market Value to Realized Value)
NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss)
Profit/Loss Address Distribution
Technical Indicators:

Zero Line: Neutral reference point
Interpretation
Cycle Alignment
Both positive: Risk-on environment, favorable for crypto
Both negative: Risk-off environment, caution warranted
Divergence: Potential opportunities or warning signals
Divergence Signals
Finance positive, Bitcoin negative: Bitcoin may be undervalued relative to macro conditions
Finance negative, Bitcoin positive: Bitcoin may be overextended or decoupling from traditional finance
Important Limitations
This indicator uses some technical and macro data but still has significant gaps:
⚠️ Limited monetary data - missing:
Funding rates (repo, overnight markets)
Comprehensive bond spread analysis
Collateral velocity and quality metrics
Central bank balance sheet details

Market Energy & Direction DashboardMarket Energy & Direction Dashboard - Daytrading
Overview
A comprehensive real-time market internals dashboard that combines NYSE TICK, NYSE Advance-Decline (ADD) momentum, VIX direction, and relative volume into a single visual traffic light system with intelligent signal synthesis. Designed for active daytraders who need instant confirmation of market direction and energy based on momentum alignment across all major internals.
What It Does
This indicator synthesizes multiple market internals using directional momentum analysis rather than static thresholds to provide clear, actionable signals:
• Traffic Light System: Single glance confirmation of market state
o Bright Green: Maximum bullish - all internals aligned (TICK + ADD rising + VIX falling + volume)
o Bright Red: Maximum bearish - all internals aligned (TICK + ADD falling + VIX rising + volume)
o Yellow: Exhaustion warning - TICK at extremes, potential reversal imminent
o Moderate Colors: Partial alignment - some confirmation but not complete
o Gray: Choppy, neutral, or conflicting signals
• Real-Time Dashboard displays:
o Current TICK value with exhaustion warnings
o Current ADD with directional momentum indicator (↑ rising = breadth improving, ↓ falling = breadth deteriorating, ± compression)
o VIX level with directional indicator (↓ declining = bullish, ↑ rising = bearish, ± compression = neutral)
o Relative volume (current vs 20-period average)
o Composite status message synthesizing all data into clear directional summary
Key Features
✓ Momentum-based analysis - all indicators show direction/change, not just levels ✓ Intelligent signal hierarchy from "Maximum" to "Moderate" based on internal alignment ✓ ADD directional momentum - catches breadth shifts early, works in all market conditions ✓ VIX directional analysis - shows if fear is increasing, decreasing, or stagnant ✓ Color-coded traffic light for instant decision making ✓ Detects TICK/ADD divergences (conflicting signals = caution) ✓ Exhaustion warnings at extreme TICK levels (±1000+) ✓ Composite status messages - "Maximum Bull", "Strong Bull", "Moderate Bull", etc. ✓ Customizable thresholds for all parameters ✓ Moveable dashboard (9 position options) ✓ Built-in alerts for all signal strengths, exhaustion, and divergences
How To Use
Setup:
1. Add indicator to your main trading chart (SPY, ES, NQ, etc.)
2. Default settings work well for most traders, but you can customize:
o TICK Extreme Level (default 1000)
o ADD Compression Threshold (default 100 - detects when breadth is stagnant)
o VIX Elevated Level (default 20)
o VIX Compression Threshold (default 2% - detects low volatility)
o Volume Threshold (default 1.5x average)
3. Position dashboard wherever convenient on your chart
Reading The Signals:
Signal Hierarchy (Strongest to Weakest):
MAXIMUM SIGNALS ⭐ (Brightest colors - All 4 internals aligned)
• "✓ MAXIMUM BULL": TICK bullish + ADD rising (↑) + VIX falling (↓) + Volume elevated
o This is the holy grail setup - all momentum aligned, highest conviction longs
• "✓ MAXIMUM BEAR": TICK bearish + ADD falling (↓) + VIX rising (↑) + Volume elevated
o Perfect storm bearish - all momentum aligned, highest conviction shorts
STRONG SIGNALS (Bright colors - Core internals aligned)
• "✓ STRONG BULL": TICK bullish + ADD rising (↑)
o Strong confirmation even without VIX/volume - breadth supporting the move
• "✓ STRONG BEAR": TICK bearish + ADD falling (↓)
o Strong confirmation - both momentum and breadth deteriorating
MODERATE SIGNALS (Faded colors - Partial confirmation)
• "MODERATE BULL": TICK bullish but ADD not confirming direction
o Proceed with caution - momentum present but breadth questionable
• "MODERATE BEAR": TICK bearish but ADD not confirming direction
o Proceed with caution - selling but breadth not fully participating
WARNING SIGNALS
• "⚠ EXHAUSTION" (Yellow): TICK at ±1000+ extremes
o Potential reversal zone - prepare to fade or take profits
o Often marks blow-off tops or capitulation bottoms
NEUTRAL/AVOID
• "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" (Gray): Conflicting signals or low conviction
o Stay out or reduce size significantly
Individual Indicator Interpretation:
TICK:
• Green: Bullish momentum (>+300)
• Red: Bearish momentum (<-300)
• Yellow: Exhaustion (±1000+)
• Gray: Neutral
ADD (Advance-Decline):
• Green (↑): Breadth improving - more stocks participating in the move
• Red (↓): Breadth deteriorating - fewer stocks participating
• Gray (±): Breadth stagnant - no clear participation trend
VIX:
• Green (↓): Fear declining - healthy environment for rallies
• Red (↑): Fear rising - risk-off mode, supports downward moves
• Gray (±): Volatility compression - often precedes explosive moves
Volume:
• Green: High conviction (>1.5x average)
• Gray: Low conviction
Trading Strategy:
1. Wait for "MAXIMUM" or "STRONG" signals for highest probability entries
o Maximum signals = go full size with confidence
o Strong signals = good conviction, normal position sizing
2. Confirm directional alignment:
o For longs: Want ADD ↑ (rising) and VIX ↓ (falling)
o For shorts: Want ADD ↓ (falling) and VIX ↑ (rising)
3. Use exhaustion warnings (yellow) to:
o Take profits on existing positions
o Prepare counter-trend entries
o Tighten stops
4. Avoid "MODERATE" signals unless you have strong conviction from other analysis
o These work best as confirmation for existing setups
o Not strong enough to initiate new positions alone
5. Never trade "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" signals
o Gray means stay out - preserve capital
o Wait for clear alignment
6. Watch for divergences:
o Price making new highs but ADD ↓ (falling) = distribution warning
o Price making new lows but ADD ↑ (rising) = potential bottom
o Divergence alert will notify you
Best Practices:
• Use on 1-5 minute charts for daytrading
• Combine with your price action or technical setup (support/resistance, trendlines, patterns)
• The dashboard confirms when to take your setup, not what setup to take
• Most effective during regular market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET) when volume is present
• The strongest edge comes from "MAXIMUM" signals - wait for these for best risk/reward
• Pay special attention to ADD direction - it's the most predictive breadth indicator
• VIX compression (gray ±) often signals upcoming volatility expansion - prepare for bigger moves
Customization Option
All thresholds are adjustable in settings:
• TICK Extreme: Higher = fewer exhaustion warnings (try 1200-1500 for less sensitivity)
• ADD Compression Threshold: Change detection sensitivity
o Default 100 = balanced
o Lower (50) = more sensitive to small breadth changes
o Higher (200-300) = only shows major breadth shifts
• VIX Elevated: Adjust for current volatility regime (15-25 typical range)
• VIX Compression Threshold:
o Default 2% = balanced
o Lower (0.5-1%) = catches subtle VIX changes
o Higher (3-5%) = only shows significant VIX moves
• Volume Threshold: Lower for quieter stocks/times, higher for more confirmation
Alerts Available
• Maximum Bullish: All 4 internals aligned bullish (TICK + ADD↑ + VIX↓ + Volume)
• Maximum Bearish: All 4 internals aligned bearish (TICK + ADD↓ + VIX↑ + Volume)
• Strong Bullish: TICK bullish + ADD rising
• Strong Bearish: TICK bearish + ADD falling
• Exhaustion Warning: TICK at extreme levels
• Divergence Warning: TICK and ADD directions conflicting

The indicator uses intelligent logic to combine all internals:
"MAXIMUM" Signals require:
• TICK direction (bullish/bearish)
• ADD momentum (rising/falling) in same direction
• VIX direction (falling for bulls, rising for bears)
• Volume elevated (>1.5x average)
"STRONG" Signals require:
• TICK direction (bullish/bearish)
• ADD momentum (rising/falling) in same direction
• (VIX and volume are bonuses but not required)
"MODERATE" Signals:
• TICK showing direction
• But ADD not confirming or contradicting
• Weakest actionable signal
This hierarchy ensures you know exactly how much conviction the market has behind any move.
Technical Details
• Pulls real-time data from NYSE TICK (USI:TICK), NYSE ADD (USI:ADD), and CBOE VIX
• ADD direction calculated using bar-to-bar change with compression detection
• VIX direction calculated using bar-to-bar percentage change
• Volume calculation uses 20-period simple moving average
• Dashboard updates every bar
• No repainting - all calculations based on closed bar data
Who This Is For
• Active daytraders of stocks, futures (ES/NQ), and options
• Scalpers needing quick directional confirmation with multiple internal alignment
• Swing traders looking to time intraday entries with maximum confluence
• Volatility traders who monitor VIX behavior
• Market makers and professionals who trade based on breadth and internals
• Anyone who monitors market internals but wants intelligent synthesis vs raw data
Tips For Success
Trading Philosophy:
• Quality over quantity - wait for "MAXIMUM" signals for best results
• One "MAXIMUM" signal trade is worth five "MODERATE" signal trades
• Gray/neutral is not a sign of missing opportunity - it's protecting your capital
Signal Confidence Levels:
1. MAXIMUM (95%+ confidence) - Trade these aggressively with full size
2. STRONG (80-85% confidence) - Trade these with normal position sizing
3. MODERATE (60-70% confidence) - Only if confirmed by strong technical setup
4. CHOPPY/NEUTRAL - Do not trade, wait for clarity
Advanced Techniques:
• Breadth divergences: Watch for price making new highs while ADD shows ↓ (falling) = major warning
• VIX/Price divergences: Rallies with rising VIX (↑) are usually false moves
• Volume confirmation: "MAXIMUM" signals with 2x+ volume are the absolute best
• Compression zones: When both ADD and VIX show compression (±), expect explosive breakout soon
• Sequential signals: Back-to-back "MAXIMUM" signals in same direction = strong trending day
Common Patterns:
• Opening surge with "MAXIMUM BULL" that shifts to "EXHAUSTION" (yellow) = fade the high
• Selloff with "MAXIMUM BEAR" followed by ADD ↑ (rising) divergence = potential reversal
• Choppy morning followed by "MAXIMUM" signal afternoon = best trending opportunity
Example Scenarios
Perfect Bull Entry:
• Bright green signal box
• TICK: +650
• ADD: +1200 (↑)
• VIX: 18.30 (↓)
• Volume: 2.3x
• Status: "✓ MAXIMUM BULL" → ALL SYSTEMS GO - Take aggressive long positions
Strong Bull (Good Confidence):
• Green signal box (slightly less bright)
• TICK: +500
• ADD: +800 (↑)
• VIX: 19.50 (±)
• Volume: 1.2x
• Status: "✓ STRONG BULL" → Good long setup - breadth confirming even without VIX/volume
Caution Bull (Moderate):
• Faded green signal box
• TICK: +400
• ADD: +900 (↓)
• VIX: 20.10 (↑)
• Volume: 0.9x
• Status: "MODERATE BULL" → CAUTION - TICK bullish but breadth deteriorating and VIX rising = weak rally
Exhaustion Warning:
• Yellow signal box
• TICK: +1350 ⚠
• ADD: +2100 (↑)
• VIX: 17.20 (↓)
• Volume: 1.8x
• Status: "⚠ EXHAUSTION" → Take profits or prepare to fade - TICK overextended despite good internals
Divergence Setup (Potential Reversal):
• Faded green signal
• TICK: +300
• ADD: +1800 (↓)
• VIX: 21.50 (↑)
• Volume: 1.6x
• Status: "MODERATE BULL" → WARNING - Price rallying but breadth collapsing and fear rising = distribution
Perfect Bear Entry:
• Bright red signal box
• TICK: -780
• ADD: -1600 (↓)
• VIX: 24.80 (↑)
• Volume: 2.5x
• Status: "✓ MAXIMUM BEAR" → Perfect short setup - all momentum bearish with conviction
Compression (Wait Mode):
• Gray signal box
• TICK: +50
• ADD: -200 (±)
• VIX: 16.40 (±)
• Volume: 0.7x
• Status: "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" → STAY OUT - Volatility compression, no conviction, await breakout
Performance Optimization
Best Market Conditions:
• Works excellent in trending markets (up or down)
• Particularly powerful during high-volume sessions (first/last hours)
• "MAXIMUM" signals most reliable during 9:45-11:00 AM and 2:00-3:30 PM ET
Less Effective During:
• Lunch period (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM) - lower volume reduces signal quality
• Low-volatility environments - compression signals dominate
• Major news events in first 5 minutes - wait for internals to stabilize
Recommended Use Cases:
• Scalping: Trade only "MAXIMUM" signals for quick 5-15 minute moves
• Daytrading: Use "MAXIMUM" and "STRONG" signals for position entries
• Swing entries: Use "MAXIMUM" signals for optimal intraday entry timing
• Exit timing: Use "EXHAUSTION" (yellow) warnings to take profits
________________________________________
Pro Tip: Create a dedicated workspace with this indicator on SPY/ES/NQ charts. Set alerts for "MAXIMUM BULL", "MAXIMUM BEAR", and "EXHAUSTION" signals. Most professional traders only trade the "MAXIMUM" setups and ignore everything else - this alone can dramatically improve win rates.
Daily AVWAPsDaily AVWAPs is designed for intraday and swing traders who track institutional volume benchmarks. Instead of a single "rolling" line that resets continuously, this indicator identifies the starting timestamp of the last 5 trading sessions and draws five distinct Anchored VWAPs from those exact moments.
This allows traders to see exactly where the average volume-weighted price stands for the current day (1D), yesterday (2D), and the three days prior (3D, 4D, 5D) simultaneously.
Key Features
Polyline Visualization: Unlike standard indicators that plot historical values for every bar (creating a messy "sawtooth" effect), this script uses Pine Script Polylines. It draws clean, static lines starting from the specific anchor point to the present price, mimicking the manual "Anchored VWAP" drawing tool.
Dynamic Session Detection: The script contains zero hardcoded dates. It automatically detects when a new trading day begins based on the chart data. It works seamlessly across all asset classes (Stocks, Crypto, Futures) and automatically adjusts for weekends, holidays, and irregular trading weeks without manual updates.
Unified Color Control: Input colors are synchronized. Changing a color in the settings menu updates both the chart line and the price scale label instantly.
Toggle Controls: Individual checkboxes allow you to toggle any specific VWAP (1D through 5D) on or off to keep your chart clean.
How to Use
Trend Strength: When the 1D, 2D, and 3D VWAPs are "fanning out" in alignment, the trend is strong.
Mean Reversion: In a sideways market, price often gravitates back to the 5-Day VWAP as a "value area."
Support & Resistance: Watch for price to respect the VWAP of a previous high-volume day (e.g., bouncing off the 3D VWAP during a pullback).
Settings
Source: Select the price data source (default is OHLC4) .
Colors & Toggles: Use the checkboxes to enable/disable specific lines. Customize the color for each specific day's AVWAP directly in the Inputs tab.
This indicator was adapted and repurposed from the original work by The_Last_Gentleman .
Technical Note: This indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1H). Because it uses polyline and array logic to scan specific session timestamps, it calculates exclusively on the most recent bar to maintain high performance.
Sniper BB + VWAP System (with SMT Divergence Arrows)STEP 1: Load two correlated futures charts.
Example: CL + RB/SI+GC/ NQ+ES
STEP 2: Add Bollinger Bands (20, 2.0) on both.
Optional add (20, 3.0).
STEP 3: Watch for a BB tag on one chart but not the other.
STEP 4: Wait for a reclaim candle back inside the band.
STEP 5: Enter with stop below/above the wick + 3.0 BB.
STEP 6: Scale out midline, then opposite band.
STEP 7: Hold partials when both pairs confirm trend.
*You can take the vwap bands off the chart if it is too cluttered.
Smart Money COTThis indicator implements the method of analysing COT data as defined by Michael Huddleston (I.E. The Inner Circle Trader). It removes all superfluous information contained in the standard COT reports and focusses only on Commercial speculators using the overall Long-Short positions.
Features
The unique feature of this indicator is its ability to look back over time and provide the following information:
Calculation of the range high and low of the specified lookback range.
Calculation of equilibrium of that range.
Automatic colour coding of net long and net short positions when the Long-Short COT calculation is above or below equilibrium of the lookback range.
Instructions
Use the Daily Timeframe only. You may get unexpected results on other timeframes.
Ensure the asset has COT data available. Script is mainly focused on commodity futures, such as ES, NQ, YM. It has not been tested against Forex.
You will need to define the "Lookback" setting in the script settings. Use the total number of trading days required for your analysis. E.g. if you want a 6 month COT analysis, use the measurement tool to count the quantity of daily candles between now and 6 months ago - use this as your Lookback setting. Adjust as needed for other lookback periods, e.g. 3 months, 12 months etc.
Other Info
The script provides the ability to customise colours in its settings.
Range High and Range Low plots can be disabled in settings.
MAHI Indicator v9.5 - Smart Momentum HUD + IntradayMAHI Indicator v9.5 — Smart Momentum HUD (Multi-Framework + Intraday Engine)
A Complete Momentum, Trend, and Setup Framework for Swing, Position & Intraday Traders

This indicator acts like a Heads-Up Display (HUD) on your chart: it shows trend strength, squeeze zones, dynamic support/resistance, EMAs, setup validation, and early reversal signals in one clean interface — without clutter.
✔ Core Features
📌 1. Smart Momentum Ribbon
A dynamic EMA-based momentum band that visually shifts as trend strength changes.
Helps identify strong vs. weak momentum zones
Adapts to volatility & trend slope
Works on all timeframes (1m to 1M)
📌 2. EMA 9 → 21 Flip System
A precision trend-switching signal:
EMA 9 → 21 BULL = early bullish momentum
EMA 9 → 21 BEAR = early bearish momentum
More reliable than stand-alone MA crossovers
📌 3. Bullish Setup Engine (Standard + Weak)
Automatically identifies when price is entering a reversal-ready state based on:
Position relative to the ribbon
Candle structure
Momentum compression
Slope + exhaustion conditions
Includes:
Bull Setup (Standard) — Higher probability setup
Bull Setup (Weak) — Early or less developed setup
Setup Invalidated — Confirms that the pattern failed
This prevents false confidence & keeps traders disciplined.
📌 4. Strong Buy / Strong Sell Signals
Only appear when multiple confirmations align:
Ribbon bias
EMA slope
Momentum compression
Trend alignment
Filtered to remove noise — especially in lower timeframes.
📌 5. Multi-Timeframe Trend HUD
Top-right panel summarizing:
Overall Trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral)
RSI Condition
Daily vs Weekly Alignment
Trading Mode Suggestions (Buy / Sell / LEAPS / Neutral)
This gives instant context.
📌 6. Auto Intraday Engine (NEW in v9.5)
Automatically switches internal logic when you move into intraday timeframes (1m–30m):
Intraday Enhancements:
Adaptive setup detection
Faster momentum sensitivity
EMAs tuned for scalp/swing precision
Tighter invalidation logic
Reduced false positives
Optional strict filtering
Perfect for scalping, day trading & micro-trends
Works instantly — no settings needed.
Just change the chart timeframe and MAHI adjusts.
📌 7. Dynamic High-Timeframe Support (W & M)
Auto-layers weekly & monthly levels:
Helps identify strong bounce zones
Extremely useful for swing & LEAPS traders
📌 8. Weekly Volume Shelf Projection
Lightweight VWAP-style level based on weekly volume aggregation.
Shows probable bottoming areas during pullbacks.
✔ Who This Indicator Is For
Perfect for:
Day traders
Swing traders
Momentum riders
LEAPS & long-term investors
Beginner traders needing a structured system
MAHI adapts to your timeframe and trading style.
✔ Why MAHI Works
MAHI isn’t a single-signal indicator — it’s a framework.
It combines:
Trend
Momentum
Volatility
Setup pattern detection
Validation & invalidation
Multi-timeframe alignment
Dynamic zones
Intraday optimization
This eliminates guesswork and helps traders avoid the emotional traps that cause most losses.
You don’t just get a signal — you get context.
✔ How to Use It
Follow the ribbon bias
Use EMA 9→21 flips as trend confirmation
Look for Bull Setup tags during pullbacks
Avoid trades when you see Setup Invalidated
Respect weekly/monthly HTF support levels
On intraday charts — rely on auto-optimized mode
For swing entries, combine setups with HTF trend HUD

CME Gap Tracker + Live StatisticsThis script automatically finds the gaps inherent in the time data of any given chart, and displays them in color-coated buckets of how long it takes for the close of the gap to get filled. Add it on any CME Futures chart on the daily, and it will find all the weekend gaps. Set your period to an hour, and it will find the intraday gaps. Also displays a statistical calculation for each bucket.
The Strat Lite [rdjxyz]◆ OVERVIEW
The Strat Lite is a stripped down version of the Strat Assistant indicator by rickyzcarroll—focusing on visual simplicity and script performance. If you're new to The Strat, you may prefer the Strat Assistant as a learning aid.
◇ FEATURES REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT
Candle Numbering & Up/Down Arrows
Previous Week High & Low Lines
Previous Day High & Low Lines
Action Wick Percentage
Actionable Signals Plot
Strat Combo Plots
Extensive Alerts
◇ FEATURES KEPT FROM THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT
Full Timeframe Continuity

◇ FEATURES ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT
Failed 2 Down Classification
Failed 2 Up Classification
◆ DETAILS
The Strat is a trading methodology developed by Rob Smith that offers an objective approach to trading by focusing on the 3 universal scenarios regarding candle behavior:
SCENARIO ONE
The 1 Bar - Inside Bar: A candle that doesn't take out the highs or the lows of the previous candle; aka consolidation.
These are shown as gray candles by default.
SCENARIO TWO
The 2 Bar - Directional Bar: A candle that takes out one side of the previous candle; aka trending (or at least attempting to trend).
SCENARIO THREE
The 3 Bar - Outside Bar: A candle that takes out both sides of the previous candle; aka broadening formation.
In addition to Rob's 3 universal scenarios, this indicator identifies two variations of 2 bars:
Failed 2 up: A candle that takes out the high of the previous candle but closes bearish.
Failed 2 down: A candle that takes out the low of the previous candle but closes bullish.
◆ SETTINGS
◇ INPUTS
FTC (FULL TIMEFRAME CONTINUITY)
Show/hide FTC plots
Offset FTC plots from current bar
◇ STYLE
STRAT COLORS
Color 0 (Failed 2 Up) - Default is fuchsia
Color 1 (Failed 2 Down) - Default is teal
Color 2 (Inside 1) - Default is gray
Color 3 (Outside 3) - Default is dark purple
Color 4 (2 up) - Default is aqua
Color 5 (2 down) - Default is white
◆ USAGE
It's recommended to use The Strat Lite with a top down analysis so you can find lower timeframe positions with higher timeframe context.
◇ TOP DOWN ANALYSIS
MONTHLY LEVELS
Starting on a monthly chart, the previous month's high and low are manually plotted.
WEEKLY LEVELS
Dropping down to a weekly chart, the previous week's high and low are manually plotted.
DAILY LEVELS
Dropping down to a daily chart, the previous day's high and low are manually plotted.
12H LEVELS
Dropping down to a 12h chart, the previous 12h's high and low are manually plotted.
ANALYSIS
The monthly low was broken, creating a lower low (aka a broadening formation), signalling potential exhaustion risk, which can be a catalyst for reversals. The daily candle that tested the monthly low closed as a Failed 2 Down—potentially an early sign of a reversal. With these 2 confluences, it's reasonable to expect the next daily candle to be a 2 Up. Now it's time to look for a lower timeframe entry.
◇ LOWER TIMEFRAME POSITION
HOURLY PRICE ACTION
Dropping down to an hourly chart, we're anticipating a 2 Up on the daily timeframe, so we're looking for a bullish pattern to enter a position long. I personally like the 6:00 AM UTC-5 hourly candle, as it's the midpoint of the day (for futures).
In this specific example, we see the opening gap was filled and there's a potential 2-1-2 bullish reversal set up.
At this point, price can either do one of 5 things:
Form another 1 (inside) candle
Form a 2 up (directional) candle
Form a 2 down (directional) candle
Form a 2 up, fail, and potentially flip to form a bearish 3 (outside) candle
Form a 2 down, fail, and potentially flip to form a bullish 3 (outside) candle
Knowing the finite potential outcomes helps us set up our positions, manage them accordingly, and flip bias if needed.
POSITION SETUP
Here we can set up a position long AND short. To go long, we set a buy stop at the 1h high and stop loss just below the 50% level of the inside candle; to go short, we set a sell stop at 1h low and stop loss just above the 50% level of the inside candle.
If the short gets triggered first, we can wait for price to move in our favor before cancelling the buy order. If the short becomes a failed 2 down, potentially reversing to become a bullish 3, we can either wait for the stop loss to trigger and for the long position to trigger OR we can move the buy stop to our short stop loss and move the long stop loss to the low of the 1h candle.
POSITION REFINEMENT
For an even tighter risk-to-reward, we can drop to a lower timeframe and look for setups that would be an early trigger of the 1h entry. Just know, the lower you go the more noise there is—increasing risk of getting stopped out before the 1h trigger.
Above are 30m refined entries.
In this example, the long buy stop was triggered. It closed bullish, so the sell stop order can be cancelled.
◇ TARGETS & POSITION MANAGEMENT
TARGETS
These depend on whether you intend to scalp, day trade, or swing trade, but targets are typically the highs of previous candles (when bullish) and lows of previous candles (when bearish). It's advised to be cautious of swing pivots as there's a risk of exhaustion and reversal at these levels.
In this example, the nearest target was the previous 12h high and the next target was the previous day high; if you're a swing trader, you could target previous week's high and previous month's high.
POSITION MANAGEMENT
This largely depends on your risk tolerance, but it's common to either:
Move stop loss slightly into profit
Trail stop loss behind higher highs (bullish) or lower lows (bearish)
Scale out of positions at potential pivot points, leaving a runner
Scale into positions on pullbacks on the way to target
◆ WRAP UP
As demonstrated, The Strat Lite offers a stripped down version of the Strat Assistant—making it visually simple for more experienced Strat traders. By following a top-down approach with The Strat methodology, you can find high probability setups and manage risk with relative ease.
◆ DISCLAIMER
This indicator is a tool for visual analysis and is intended to assist traders who follow The Strat methodology. As with any trading methodology, there's no guarantee of profits; trading involves a high degree of risk and you could lose all of your invested capital. The example shown is of past performance and is not indicative of future results and does not constitute and should not be construed as investment advice. All trading decisions and investments made by you are at your own discretion and risk. Under no circumstances shall the author be liable for any direct, indirect, or incidental damages. You should only risk capital you can afford to lose.
JokaBAR
This script combines my own liquidity/liq-levels engine with open-source code from BigBeluga’s Volumatic indicators:
• “Volumatic Variable Index Dynamic Average ”
• “Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels ”
The original code is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is reused here accordingly.
What this script does
Joka puts Volumatic trend logic, dynamic support/resistance and a custom liquidation-levels module into a single overlay. The idea is to give traders one clean view of trend direction, key reactive zones and potential liquidation areas where leveraged positions can be forced out of the market.
Volumatic logic is used to build a dynamic average and adaptive levels that react to volume and volatility. On top of that, the script plots configurable liquidation zones for different leverage tiers (e.g. 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x).
How to use it
Apply the script on pairs where leverage is actually used (perpetual futures / margin).
Use the Volumatic average as a trend filter (above = long bias, below = short bias).
Treat Volumatic support/resistance levels as key reaction zones for entries, partials and stops.
Read the liquidation levels as context: clusters show where forced liquidations can fuel strong moves and bounces.
Keep the chart clean — this tool is designed to be used without stacking extra indicators on top.
The script is published as open-source in line with TradingView House Rules so that other traders can study, tweak and build on it.
Squeeze Momentum Strategy [PickMyTrade]Squeeze Momentum Strategy
Overview
This strategy is a complete trading system built upon John Carter's renowned "TTM Squeeze" momentum indicator, as featured in his book "Mastering the Trade". The PickMyTrade team has transformed this popular indicator into a fully automated strategy with an additional trend filter for improved accuracy.
What Makes This Different?
While the original TTM Squeeze indicator helps identify volatility contractions and momentum direction, our strategy adds a critical enhancement:
50-Period MA Trend Filter – We only take trades in the direction of the dominant trend:
Long trades: Only when momentum crosses above zero AND price is above the 50 MA
Short trades: Only when momentum crosses below zero AND price is below the 50 MA
This simple addition helps filter out counter-trend signals and improves the win rate significantly.
How It Works
The Squeeze Detection
Black crosses = Squeeze is ON (Bollinger Bands compressed inside Keltner Channel) – Market is coiling, preparing for a breakout
Gray crosses = Squeeze is OFF – Volatility is normal
Blue crosses = No Squeeze condition
Momentum Histogram
Green/Lime bars = Bullish momentum (above zero)
Red/Maroon bars = Bearish momentum (below zero)
Color intensity shows momentum strength increasing/decreasing
Entry Signals
Long Entry (Green Triangle): Momentum crosses above zero + Price > 50 MA
Short Entry (Red Triangle): Momentum crosses below zero + Price < 50 MA
Key Features
Automatic position management (closes opposite positions before new entries)
Visual entry markers on chart
Histogram color-coding for quick momentum assessment
Trend filter to avoid choppy, counter-trend trades
Prop firm friendly (conservative approach)
Works on all timeframes
Recommended Settings
Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H, Daily (higher timeframes produce more reliable signals)
Markets: Works best on trending markets (Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices)
Risk Management: Default 10% of equity per trade – adjust based on your risk tolerance
Input Parameters
BB Length (20): Bollinger Bands calculation period
BB MultFactor (2.0): Bollinger Bands standard deviation multiplier
KC Length (20): Keltner Channel calculation period
KC MultFactor (1.5): Keltner Channel ATR multiplier
Use TrueRange: Use True Range for KC calculation (recommended: ON)
MA Filter Length (50): Trend filter moving average period
Usage Tips
Wait for the squeeze release (first gray cross after black crosses) for the most explosive moves
Combine with higher timeframe confirmation for better trade quality
Consider exit strategies: Exit when histogram changes color OR use fixed stop-loss/take-profit
Best on trending markets: Avoid ranging/choppy conditions

NICHI Beta (NuwenPham's Ichimoku)# **NuwenPham’s Ichimoku (NICHI)**
**Version BETA.251123a.3.1.2 – Pine Script v6**
**Author:** NuwenPham
**Forked from:** Donovan Wall
**Contributors:** Claude (Anthropic)
**License:** MPL 2.0
---
# **Overview**
**NICHI (Nuwen’s Ichimoku)** is a next-generation Ichimoku system that merges the classical Hosoda Ichimoku with a modular adaptive-smoothing engine, enhanced Kumo logic, directional trend counters, and multi-mode bar coloring.
The indicator includes **two completely separate Ichimoku engines**:
* **Standard Ichimoku** – Traditional Donchian-based Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou A/B, and Chikou
* **Advanced Ichimoku** – Fully customizable Ichimoku using 15+ moving-average filters and enhanced logic
NICHI is designed for modern markets—especially **futures and volatile instruments** (NG, CL, ES, NQ, crypto).
---
# **Key Features**
## **1. Dual Ichimoku Systems**
* **Standard Mode:**
Classic Donchian Ichimoku with Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou A/B, and Chikou.
Clean, faithful implementation.
* **Advanced Mode:**
Every Ichimoku line uses a **selected smoothing filter** (EMA, KAMA, FRAMA, Hull, McGinley, etc.).
Includes directional persistence tracking, enhanced cloud logic, and adaptive bar coloring.
---
## **2. Advanced Filter Engine (15+ Smooth Types)**
Use any of the following for Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou B, or Chikou:
* EMA
* DEMA
* SMA
* SMMA (RMA)
* WMA
* VWMA
* Hull MA
* ALMA
* LSMA (Linear Regression)
* McGinley Dynamic
* KAMA
* FRAMA
* COVWMA
* Moving Median
* 50th Percentile (Nearest Rank)
This transforms Ichimoku into an **adaptive trend system**.
---
## **3. Enhanced Cloud (Kumo) Modeling**
* Independent forward offsets for Span A & Span B
* Cloud colors adapt based on strength, direction, and filter behavior
* Cloud thickness reflects volatility
* Neutral cloud state available when spans disagree
---
## **4. Directional Persistence Counters**
NICHI tracks the **trend streak** of each main component:
* Tenkan rising/falling
* Kijun rising/falling
* Span A rising/falling
* Span B rising/falling
These counters make cloud and line colors more accurate and stable.
---
## **5. Regime-Based Bar Coloring (3 Modes)**
NICHI includes three built-in trading frameworks:
### **Mode 1: Kumo-Based**
Bar color reflects price relative to the cloud:
* Green = Above Kumo
* Red = Below Kumo
* Orange = Inside Kumo
Ideal for **trend-following** and **market regime detection**.
---
### **Mode 2: Tenkan/Kijun-Based**
Bar color reflects momentum structure:
* Green = Price above both Tenkan & Kijun
* Red = Price below both
Designed for **momentum entries and TK breakouts**.
---
### **Mode 3: Chikou-Based**
Bars reflect historical confirmation:
* Green = Chikou > price (offset period)
* Red = Chikou < price
Excellent for **confirmation-first strategies** where accuracy matters most.
---
## **6. Multi-MA Overlay System**
Up to **four optional moving averages**:
* SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA
* Independent lengths, widths, colors
* Useful for bias, confluence, trend filters
Default: **SMA 200** enabled.
---
## **7. TK Cross Signals**
Both systems show TK crosses:
* Standard TK Cross (classic)
* Advanced TK Cross (filtered version)
Crosses appear with clear markers for entry/exit logic.
---
# **How to Use NICHI**
## **1. Choose Your Engine**
* **Standard:** Clean, classic Ichimoku
* **Advanced:** Adaptive, filter-driven Ichimoku
* **Both:** Comparative analysis
---
## **2. Select Your Filter Type (Advanced Mode)**
Suggested filters:
| Market | Filter Type | Notes |
| ---------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------- |
| Natural Gas (NG) | KAMA or FRAMA | Handles extreme volatility |
| Crude Oil (CL) | McGinley Dynamic | Smooths spikes |
| ES / NQ | SMMA or WMA | Balanced response |
| Crypto | Hull or ALMA | Handles momentum bursts |
| FX | EMA or SMMA | Classic, stable |
---
## **3. Choose a Bar-Color Strategy**
* **Kumo-Based:** Trend following
* **TK-Based:** Momentum and breakouts
* **Chikou-Based:** Highest confirmation/accuracy
Each strategy is valid and intentionally distinct.
---
## **4. Reading the Cloud**
* **Bullish Cloud:** Span A > Span B
* **Bearish Cloud:** Span A < Span B
* **Neutral Cloud:** Disagreement between spans
* **Thick Cloud:** High volatility / stronger structure
* **Thin Cloud:** Weak trend / potential twist
---
## **5. Entry & Exit Concepts**
### **Entries**
* **Momentum Entry:** TK cross with price above the cloud
* **Reversal Entry:** TK cross before a cloud twist
* **Confirmation Entry:** Chikou breaks cleanly above/below past price
### **Exits**
* Price falling through Kijun
* Re-entering the cloud
* Opposite TK cross
* Cloud flipping against position
---
# **Recommended Trading Approaches**
## **Kumo-Based Trend Strategy**
* Long above cloud, short below
* Avoid signals inside cloud
Best for swing/position trading.
---
## **TK-Based Momentum Strategy**
* Enter on Tenkan/Kijun breakout
* Bar color confirms momentum
* Cloud filter optional but helps
Great for high-velocity markets.
---
## **Chikou-Based Confirmation Strategy**
* Enter only when Chikou confirms structure
* Highest accuracy, fewest trades
* Ideal for volatile markets (NG, CL)
---
# **Closing Notes**
NICHI is a **research-grade Ichimoku framework** designed to handle modern volatility where traditional Ichimoku often fails.
It supports scalpers, swing traders, and system developers alike.
Experiment with:

8FigRenko – Precision FVG Zones8FigRenko – Pure FVG Zones is a clean, reliable Fair Value Gap tool designed for traders who want accurate FVG zones only from the chart timeframe — without repainting, without higher-timeframe complications, and without messy borders.
This script is built for traders who want simple, precise, and visually clean imbalance zones that work the way FVGs should work:
🔥 Features
✔ Chart-timeframe FVGs only
No request.security, no multi-TF artifacts, no lagging or repainting.
The script reads exactly what your chart shows and never mixes timeframes.
✔ Wick-based or Body-based detection
Use classic ICT wick gaps, or switch to body-only gaps with one click.
✔ Minimum FVG size (points)
Filters out noise by requiring a minimum point distance (default: 5 points).
Great for futures and fast intraday charts.
✔ Clean, seamless boxes (no borders)
The FVG zones are rendered with borderless boxes, matching the modern style shown in institutional imbalance tools.
✔ Proper “end-to-end” FVG drawing
Each gap box starts from the origin of the imbalance and extends forward automatically.
✔ Auto-disrespect removal
FVGs are automatically deleted when price invalidates the zone:
Bullish FVG removed if close < FVG low
Bearish FVG removed if close > FVG high
No clutter. No manual cleanup.
✔ Extend zones forever or to the current bar
Choose if your FVGs run across the full future chart or just up to the latest candle.
✔ Optional: show only most recent FVG
Great for scalping or IFV (Immediate Fair Value) strategies.
