15M Swing Sweep Lines + SMT (ES vs NQ)15M Swing Sweep Lines (NY Killzones)Visualize liquidity sweeps of 15-minute swing highs/lows exclusively during high-impact London & New York killzones.This ICT-inspired indicator detects when price sweeps (wicks beyond) the most recent confirmed 15-minute swing high or low — classic signs of liquidity raids or stop hunts — but only if the sweep happens during key "killzone" sessions where institutional activity is typically highest.Key Features15M Swing Detection: Uses confirmed pivot highs/lows (length 2) on the 15-minute timeframe for reliable structure points.
Killzone Filters (New York time):London Killzone: 3:00 AM – 4:59 AM
New York Killzone: 9:30 AM – 10:59 AM (captures the high-volatility NY open overlap)
Sweep Visualization:Bearish Sweep (high > last 15M swing high): Thick red horizontal line from the swing point to the sweep bar.
Bullish Sweep (low < last 15M swing low): Thick green horizontal line from the swing point to the sweep bar.
Lines use xloc.bar_time for precise placement and extend only to the bar where the sweep occurs.
No duplicates: Prevents multiple lines for the same swing sweep.
Non-repainting logic with lookahead_off for clean, trustworthy signals.
Why Killzones MatterMany ICT/SMC traders focus on these windows because they often feature aggressive manipulation, equal highs/lows sweeps, and the setup for strong directional moves. This tool helps you instantly spot when buy-side or sell-side liquidity has been raided on the 15M structure during these prime times.Ideal ForConfirming potential reversals or inducements after liquidity grabs.
Adding confluence to entries during London or NY sessions.
Futures traders (ES, NQ, etc.) looking for clean visual cues of smart money engineering.
Lightweight, overlay-friendly, and focused — add it to your chart for clearer insight into 15M liquidity sweeps when it matters most. Perfect companion for killzone-based strategies!

Gold ORB Strategy (3/5/15/30 Min)It's a multi-mode Opening Range Breakout system for Gold futures that automates the detection of the 7:20-7:23 AM CT opening range and provides clear visual signals for four different trading styles.
In Plain English:
"It draws a box around gold's first 3 minutes of trading, then alerts you when price breaks out with confirmation from volume, VWAP, and moving averages. It automatically calculates your entry, stop, and target prices based on your chosen strategy style."
What Makes It Unique:
4 Trading Personalities in One Tool:
Aggressive = "I want every breakout, I'll manage the fakeouts"
Confirmed = "Show me only moves that close beyond the range"
Retest = "I want the pullback entry for better R:R"
Fibonacci = "Let me buy the dip after the initial move"
Smart Confluence Filtering:
Doesn't just show every breakout
Checks if VWAP agrees (trend filter)
Verifies EMA alignment (momentum filter)
Flags volume spikes (conviction filter)
Complete Trade Management:
Automatically calculates stops (3 different methods)
Shows profit targets based on your R:R preference
Labels stick to price levels as you scroll
Visual dashboard shows all key info at a glance
What It's NOT:
Not a "buy here, sell there" robot - you still need to read the market
Not foolproof - no strategy works every day
Not optimized yet - you'll need to backtest and adjust settings for your style
The Real Value:
It takes a proven strategy from your research and makes it systematic and repeatable. Instead of manually drawing boxes and calculating stops every morning, it does the math and shows you exactly where the setup is.
Global Sessions Pro NY/London/Tokyo - O/C/H/LGLOBAL SESSIONS PRO — NY / LONDON / TOKYO
Session Opens, Highs, Lows, Midpoints, Closes, Ranges & Killzones
OVERVIEW
Global Sessions Pro is a comprehensive session-mapping indicator designed for traders who rely on market structure, session context, and time-based behavior.
The indicator automatically plots New York, London, and Tokyo sessions, including:
• Session Open, High, Low, Midpoint, and Close
• Prior session levels projected forward
• Session range boxes
• Right-side labeled price levels (clearly identified)
• Stacked session summary labels (no overlap)
• Optional killzones and overlap windows
• Breakout alerts (prior or current session levels)
The script is fully timezone-aware, DST-safe, and works on any chart timeframe.
KEY FEATURES
SESSION MAPPING
For each session (NY / London / Tokyo), the indicator can display:
• Open
• High
• Low
• Midpoint (High + Low) / 2
• Close
Each level is drawn with its own horizontal line and optional right-side label, so there is never confusion about which line represents which level.
SESSION RANGE BOXES
Optional shaded boxes highlight the true session range as it develops in real time.
These are useful for visualizing:
• Compression vs expansion
• Relative session volatility
• Strength or weakness between sessions
Opacity and visibility are fully configurable.
RIGHT-SIDE LEVEL LABELS
Each session level can be labeled on the right edge of the chart, showing:
• Session name (NY / Lon / Tok)
• Level type (O / H / L / M / C)
• Optional price value
Examples:
NY H: 18234.25
Lon L: 18098.50
Tok M: 18142.75
This eliminates ambiguity when multiple session levels overlap or share similar colors.
SESSION SUMMARY LABELS (AUTO-STACKED)
At the top of each session range, an optional summary label displays:
• Session name
• Open / High / Low / Close
• Total range (points)
• Range in ticks
• ATR multiple
Summary labels are automatically stacked vertically using ATR-based or tick-based spacing, preventing overlap even when multiple sessions occur close together.
PRIOR SESSION LEVELS
The indicator can project prior session levels into the next session, including:
• Prior High and Low
• Optional prior Open, Close, and Midpoint
These levels are commonly used for:
• Support and resistance
• Liquidity sweeps
• Mean reversion
• Failed breakouts
Projection length is configurable and safely capped to comply with TradingView drawing limits.
KILLZONES AND SESSION OVERLAPS
Optional background shading highlights key institutional windows:
• London Open
• New York Open
• London / New York overlap
These zones help identify high-probability volatility windows and time-based trade filters.
All killzones respect the selected session timezone basis.
ALERTS
Built-in alerts are available for:
• Break of prior session high
• Break of prior session low
• Break of current session high
• Break of current session low
Alerts can be configured to trigger on wick or close.
Alert logic is written using precomputed crossover detection to ensure historical consistency and avoid missed or false alerts.

If you trade time, structure, and liquidity, this script provides the framework.
Binance Perp Basis % (Auto)Hello,
This script is pretty much self explanatory.
It is the real-time basis rate % of Binance futures crypto paired with USDT.
If the indicator shows "NaN" it means that the coin exists in USDT.P but does not have a homologue in spot to run the basis rate & calculation.
To change colors:
for positive & negative basis rate % you simply have to open the script & change the values here shown:
//=== 4. Plot =================================================================
col = basis >= 0 ? color.new(color. white , 0) : color.new(color. black , 0)
To change the 0 line color and opacity:
line(0, "Zero line", color=color.new(color.gray, 60), linestyle=hline.style_dashed)

Multi-Fractal Trading Plan [Gemini] v22Multi-Fractal Trading Plan
The Multi-Fractal Trading Plan is a quantitative market structure engine designed to filter noise and generate actionable daily strategies. Unlike standard auto-trendline indicators that clutter charts with irrelevant data, this system utilizes Fractal Geometry to categorize market liquidity into three institutional layers: Minor (Intraday), Medium (Swing), and Major (Institutional).
This tool functions as a Strategic Advisor, not just a drawing tool. It calculates the delta between price and structural pivots in real-time, alerting you when price enters high-probability "Hot Zones" and generating a live trading plan on your dashboard.
Core Features
1. Three-Tier Fractal Engine The algorithm tracks 15 distinct fractal lengths simultaneously, aggregating them into a clean hierarchy:
Minor Structure (Thin Lines): Captures high-frequency volatility for scalping.
Medium Structure (Medium Lines): Identifies significant swing points and intermediate targets.
Major Structure (Thick Lines): Maps the "Institutional" defense lines where trend reversals and major breakouts occur.
2. The Strategic Dashboard A dynamic data panel in the bottom-right eliminates analysis paralysis:
Floor & Ceiling Targets: Displays the precise price levels of the nearest Support and Resistance.
AI Logic Output: The script analyzes market conditions to generate a specific command, such as "WATCH FOR BREAKOUT", "Near Lows (Look Long?)", or "WAIT (No Setup)".
3. "Hot Zone" Detection Never miss a critical test of structure.
Dynamic Alerting: When price trades within 1% (adjustable) of a Major Trend Line, the indicator’s labels turn Bright Yellow and flash a warning (e.g., "⚠️ WATCH: MAJOR RES").
Focus: This visual cue highlights the exact moment execution is required, reducing screen fatigue.
4. The Quant Web & Markers
Pivot Validation: Deep blue fractal markers (▲/▼) identify the exact candles responsible for the structure.
Inter-Timeframe Web: Faint dotted lines connect Minor pivots directly to Major pivots, visualizing the "hidden" elasticity between short-term noise and long-term trend anchors.
5. Enterprise Stability Engine Engineered to solve the "Vertical Line" and "1970 Epoch" glitches common in Pine Script trend indicators. This engine is optimized for Futures (NQ/ES), Forex, and Crypto, ensuring stability across all timeframes (including gaps on ETH/RTH charts).
Operational Guide
Consult the Dashboard: Before executing, check the "Strategy" output. If it says "WAIT", the market is in chop. If it says "WATCH FOR BOUNCE", prepare your entry criteria.
Monitor Hot Zones: A Yellow Label indicates price is testing a major liquidity level. This is your signal to watch for a rejection wick or a high-volume breakout.
Utilize the Web: Use the faint web lines to find "confluence" where a short-term pullback aligns with a long-term trend line.
Configuration
Show History: Toggles "Ghost Lines" (Blue) to display historical structure and broken trends.
Fractal Points: Toggles the geometric pivot markers.
Hot Zone %: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Yellow Warning system (Default: 1%).
Max Line Length: A noise filter that removes stale or "spiderweb" lines that are no longer statistically relevant.
Prop ES EMA Cross during Single/Dual Trading SessionEMA crossover strategy for ES futures optimized for prop firm rules.
Choose long-only, short-only, or both directions.
Customizable short and long EMA lengths.
Enter trades during one or two configurable sessions specified in New York time.

cd_VW_Cx IMPROVED - Quant VWAP System: Regime, Magnets & Z-ScoQuant VWAP System: Regime, Magnets & Z-Score Matrix
This indicator is a comprehensive Quantitative Trading System designed to move beyond simple support and resistance. Instead of static lines, it uses Statistical Probability (Z-Score) and Standard Deviation to define the current market regime, identify institutional value zones, and project high-probability liquidity targets.
It is engineered for Day Traders and Scalpers (Crypto & Futures) who need to know if the market is Trending, Ranging, or preparing for a Breakout.
1. The "Regime" System (Standard Deviation Bands)
The core engine anchors a VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) to your chosen timeframe (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly) and projects volatility bands based on market variance.
The Trend Zone (Inner Band / 1.0 SD): This is the "Fair Value" zone. In a healthy trend, price will pull back into this zone and hold. A hold here signals a high-probability continuation (Trend Following).
The Reversion Zone (Outer Band / 2.0 SD): This represents a statistical extreme. Price rarely sustains movement beyond 2 Standard Deviations without a reversion. A touch of this band signals "Overbought" or "Oversold" conditions.
2. Liquidity Magnets (Virgin VWAPs)
The script automatically tracks "Unvisited VWAPs" from previous sessions. These are price levels where significant volume occurred but have not yet been re-tested.
The Logic: Algorithms often target these "open loops." The script visualizes them as Blue Dashed Lines with price tags.
Smart Scaling (Anti-Scrunch): Includes a custom "Ghost Engine" that automatically hides or "ghosts" magnets that are too far away. This prevents your chart from being squashed (scrunched) on lower timeframes, keeping your candles perfectly readable while still tracking targets in the background.
3. The Quant Matrix (Dashboard)
A real-time Heads-Up Display (HUD) that interprets the data for you:
Regime: Detects Volatility Squeezes. If the bands compress, it signals "⚠ SQUEEZE", warning you to stop mean-reversion trading and prepare for an explosive breakout.
Bias: Color-coded Trend Direction (Bullish/Bearish) based on VWAP slope.
Signal: actionable text prompts such as "BUY DIP" (Trend Following), "FADE EXT" (Mean Reversion), or "PREP BREAK" (Squeeze).
4. Visual Intelligence
Bold Day Separators: Clear, vertical dotted dividers with Date Stamps to instantly separate trading sessions.
Dynamic Labels: Floating labels on the right axis identify exactly which deviation level is which, preventing chart confusion.
How to Use
Strategy A: The Trend Pullback (continuation)
Check Matrix: Ensure Bias is BULLISH (Green).
Wait: Allow price to pull back into the Inner Band (Dark Green Zone).
Trigger: If price holds the Center VWAP or the -1.0 SD line, enter Long.
Target: The next Liquidity Magnet above or the +2.0 SD band.
Strategy B: The Reversion Fade (Counter-Trend)
Check Matrix: Ensure price is labeled "EXTREME" or Signal says "FADE EXT".
Trigger: Price touches or pierces the Outer Band (2.0 SD).
Action: Enter counter-trend (Short) with a target back to the Center VWAP (Mean Reversion).
Strategy C: The Magnet Target
Identify a "MAGNET" line (Blue Dashed) near current price.
These act as high-probability Take Profit levels. Price will often rush to these levels to "close the loop" before reversing.
Settings
Anchor: Daily (default), Weekly, or Monthly.
Magnet Focus Range: Adjusts how aggressively the script hides distant magnets to fix chart scaling (Default: 2%).
Visuals: Fully customizable colors, label sizes, and dashboard position.
[ASFX] Free Automatic VWAPsAutomatic VWAP & Key Levels
Overview
This indicator is designed to help traders evaluate VWAP interactions in context, rather than treating every VWAP touch as a trade opportunity. It combines VWAP with a momentum-based directional filter to highlight situations where price interaction with VWAP is supported by broader intraday momentum. This indicator also shows you the initial balance and opening range each day.
Concept and Originality
VWAP is commonly used as an institutional reference level, but VWAP alone does not distinguish between meaningful acceptance/rejection and random intraday chop. This script addresses that limitation by conditioning VWAP interactions with a momentum filter. Signals are only displayed when price location and momentum alignment occur together, allowing traders to focus on higher-quality VWAP reactions instead of monitoring multiple indicators separately.
How It Works
• VWAP is used as the primary price reference level.
• A momentum filter evaluates directional bias and participation.
• Visual signals appear only when price is interacting with VWAP and momentum confirms acceptance or rejection in the same direction.
• No signals are shown during low-momentum or sideways conditions around VWAP.
How to Use
This indicator is best used as a confirmation tool, not as a standalone trading system. It is intended to assist traders in filtering VWAP-based trade ideas by highlighting when conditions are aligned versus when price is simply chopping around VWAP.
Markets and Timeframes
• Designed for index futures such as ES and NQ
• Optimized for intraday trading
• Works best on lower timeframes (1–5 minute charts)
Limitations
• Not predictive
• Not a complete trading strategy
• Does not replace price action analysis, trade management, or risk control
• Signals should be evaluated alongside market structure and context

Daily: 1.0% account risk per trade
Weekly: 0.75% account risk per trade
Monthly: 0.5% account risk per trade
Formula:
Contracts = (Account Equity × Risk%) ÷ (Stop Points × $50)
Minimum = 1 contractStop Losses
Daily: 12 points ($600 per contract)
Weekly: 40 points ($2,000 per contract)
Monthly: 100 points ($5,000 per contract)
Profit Targets (Risk:Reward)
Daily: 2:1 = 24 points ($1,200 profit)
Weekly: 3:1 = 120 points ($6,000 profit)
Monthly: 4:1 = 400 points ($20,000 profit)
Example with $50,000 AccountDaily Trade:
Risk = $500 (1% of $50k)
Stop = 12 points × $50 = $600
Contracts = $500 ÷ $600 = 0.83 → 1 contract
Target = 24 points = $1,200 profit
Weekly Trade:
Risk = $375 (0.75% of $50k)
Stop = 40 points × $50 = $2,000
Contracts = $375 ÷ $2,000 = 0.18 → 1 contract
Target = 120 points = $6,000 profit
Monthly Trade:
Risk = $250 (0.5% of $50k)
Stop = 100 points × $50 = $5,000
Contracts = $250 ÷ $5,000 = 0.05 → 1 contract
Target = 400 points = $20,000 profit

Liquidity Maxing [JOAT]Liquidity Maxing - Institutional Liquidity Matrix
Introduction
Liquidity Maxing is an open-source strategy for TradingView built around institutional market structure concepts. It identifies structural shifts, evaluates trades through multi-factor confluence, and implements layered risk controls.
The strategy is designed for swing trading on 4-hour timeframes, focusing on how institutional order flow manifests in price action through structure breaks, inducements, and liquidity sweeps.
Core Functionality
Liquidity Maxing performs three primary functions:
Tracks market structure to identify when control shifts between buyers and sellers
Scores potential trades using an eight-factor confluence system
Manages position sizing and risk exposure dynamically based on volatility and user-defined limits
The goal is selective trading when multiple conditions align, rather than frequent entries.
Market Structure Engine
The structure engine tracks three key events:
Break of Structure (BOS): Price pushes beyond a prior pivot in the direction of trend
Change of Character (CHoCH): Control flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa
Inducement Sweeps (IDM): Market briefly runs stops against trend before moving in the real direction
The structure module continuously updates strong highs and lows, labeling structural shifts visually. IDM markers are optional and disabled by default to maintain chart clarity.
The trade engine requires valid structure alignment before considering entries. No structure, no trade.
Eight-Factor Confluence System
Instead of relying on a single indicator, Liquidity Maxing uses an eight-factor scoring system:
Structure alignment with current trend
RSI within healthy bands (different ranges for up and down trends)
MACD momentum agreement with direction
Volume above adaptive baseline
Price relative to main trend EMA
Session and weekend filter (configurable)
Volatility expansion/contraction via ATR shifts
Higher-timeframe EMA confirmation
Each factor contributes one point to the confluence score. The default minimum confluence threshold is 6 out of 8, but you can adjust this from 1-8 based on your preference for trade frequency versus selectivity.
Only when structure and confluence agree does the strategy proceed to risk evaluation.
Dynamic Risk Management
Risk controls are implemented in multiple layers:
ATR-based stops and targets with configurable risk-to-reward ratio (default 2:1)
Volatility-adjusted position sizing to maintain consistent risk per trade as ranges expand or compress
Daily and weekly risk budgets that halt new entries once thresholds are reached
Correlation cooldown to prevent clustered trades in the same direction
Global circuit breaker with maximum drawdown limit and emergency kill switch
If any guardrail is breached, the strategy will not open new positions. The dashboard clearly displays risk state for transparency.
Market Presets
The strategy includes configuration presets optimized for different market types:
Crypto (BTC/ETH): RSI bands 70/30, volume multiplier 1.2, enhanced ATR scaling
Forex Majors: RSI bands 75/25, volume multiplier 1.5
Indices (SPY/QQQ): RSI bands 70/30, volume multiplier 1.3
Custom: Default values for user customization
For crypto assets, the strategy automatically applies ATR volatility scaling to account for higher volatility characteristics.
Monitoring and Dashboards
The strategy includes optional monitoring layers:
Risk Operations Dashboard (top-right):
Trend state
Confluence score
ATR value
Current position size percentage
Global drawdown
Daily and weekly risk consumption
Correlation guard state
Alert mode status
Performance Console (top-left):
Net profit
Current equity
Win rate percentage
Average trade value
Sharpe-style ratio (rolling 50-bar window)
Profit factor
Open trade count
Optional risk tint on chart background provides visual indication of "safe to trade" versus "halted" state.
All visualization elements can be toggled on/off from the inputs for clean chart viewing or full telemetry during parameter tuning.
Alerts and Automation
The strategy supports alert integration with two formats:
Standard alerts: Human-readable messages for long, short, and risk-halt conditions
Webhook format: JSON-formatted payloads ready for external execution systems (optional)
Alert messages are predictable and unambiguous, suitable for manual review or automated forwarding to execution engines.
Built-in Validation Suite
The strategy includes an optional validation layer that can be enabled from inputs. It checks:
Internal consistency of structure and confluence metrics
Sanity and ordering of risk parameters
Position sizing compliance with user-defined floors and caps
This validation is optional and not required for trading, but provides transparency into system operation during development or troubleshooting.

Position Sizing: Uses percentage of equity (default 2% per trade)
Timeframe: Optimized for 4-hour charts, though can be tested on other timeframes
Results will vary significantly based on:
Market conditions and volatility regimes
Parameter settings, especially confluence threshold
Risk limit configuration
Symbol characteristics (crypto vs forex vs equities)
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Win rate, profit factor, and other metrics should be evaluated in context of drawdown periods, trade frequency, and market conditions.
How to Use This Strategy
This is a framework that requires understanding and parameter tuning, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Recommended workflow:
Start on 4-hour timeframe with default parameters and appropriate market preset
Run backtests and study performance console metrics: focus on drawdown behavior, win rate, profit factor, and trade frequency
Adjust confluence threshold to match your risk appetite—higher thresholds mean fewer but more selective trades
Set realistic daily and weekly risk budgets appropriate for your account size and risk tolerance
Consider ATR multiplier adjustments based on market volatility characteristics
Only connect alerts or automation after thorough testing and parameter validation
Treat this as a risk framework with an integrated entry engine, not merely an entry signal generator. The risk controls are as important as the trade signals.
Strategy Limitations
Designed for swing trading timeframes; may not perform optimally on very short timeframes
Requires sufficient market structure to identify pivots; may struggle in choppy or low-volatility environments
Crypto markets require different parameter tuning than traditional markets
Risk limits may prevent entries during favorable setups if daily/weekly budgets are exhausted
Correlation cooldown may delay entries that would otherwise be valid
Backtesting results depend on data quality and may not reflect live trading with slippage
Design Philosophy
Many indicators tell you when price crossed a moving average or RSI left oversold. This strategy addresses questions institutional traders ask:
Who is in control of the market right now?
Is this move structurally significant or just noise?
Do I want to add more risk given what I've already done today/week?
If I'm wrong, exactly how painful can this be?
The strategy provides disciplined, repeatable answers to these questions through systematic structure analysis, confluence filtering, and multi-layer risk management.
Technical Implementation
The strategy uses Pine Script v6 with:
Custom types for structure, confluence, and risk state management
Functional programming approach for reusable calculations
State management through persistent variables
Optional visual elements that can be toggled independently
The code is open-source and can be modified to suit individual needs. All important logic is visible in the source code.

Trinity Swing Trading Buy and SellThis is a simple little Heiken Ashi MA + ADX & MACD trend-following trading system designed to capture medium- to longer-term moves while filtering out noise and weak trends. It combines modified Heiken Ashi candles (for smoother trend detection) with a moving average alignment, plus optional confirmation from ADX (trend strength) and MACD (momentum).
In practice, the indicator works well on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, daily) where trends are more sustained. It performs best in trending markets and naturally avoids choppy/range-bound conditions thanks to the ADX filter (requiring ADX > 20 by default). All key components are fully customizable, so you can disable filters or adjust parameters to suit different instruments (stocks, forex, crypto, futures).
Default settings are:
16 HMA
8,17,9 MACD
15,20 ADX
Recommend to add an additional longer term EMA like 200 for long term trend confirmation.
Adjust inputs in the settings panel as needed:
Toggle MA, ADX, or MACD filters on/off.
Change MA type/length, MACD parameters, ADX threshold
- Use the visual blue diamonds (below bars) for long entries and purple diamonds (above bars) for short entries as confirmation of signals.
- Set alerts on the "Buy Alert" and "Sell Alert" conditions if you want real-time notifications.
This setup gives you a complete, rule-based system that avoids emotional trading and repetitive entries, making it suitable for both backtesting and live trading with proper risk management.
Volume OscillatorDescription
The Volume Oscillator measures the momentum of trading volume by calculating the percentage difference between a fast and a slow Simple Moving Average (SMA) of daily volume. It helps traders identify periods of increasing or decreasing market participation, often signaling potential trend strength or exhaustion.
Key Features:
Adaptive to Trading Session:
Automatically adjusts SMA periods based on the actual trading session length (default: 8.5 hours for FTSEMIB, customizable for any market — e.g., 6.5h for US stocks, 24h for crypto).
Fast & Slow SMAs:
Compares a short-term SMA (default 10 days) with a longer-term SMA (default 25 days) of volume.
Oscillator Formula:
100 × (Fast SMA / Slow SMA - 1)
→ Positive values = increasing volume momentum (bullish)
→ Negative values = decreasing volume momentum (bearish)
Signal Line (optional):
A moving average of the oscillator (default 7 days) for smoother trend identification and crossover signals.
Overbought/Oversold Levels:
User-defined horizontal lines (default +40 / -40) to highlight extreme volume conditions.
Customizable Colors:
Change the oscillator and signal line colors to match your chart style.
How to Interpret:
Bullish Conditions:
Oscillator crosses above the zero line
Oscillator crosses above the signal line
Readings near or above +40 may indicate strong buying pressure (watch for possible exhaustion if too extreme)
Bearish Conditions:
Oscillator crosses below the zero line
Oscillator crosses below the signal line
Readings near or below -40 may indicate selling pressure or capitulation
Divergences:
Look for divergences between price and the Volume Oscillator (e.g., price makes new highs but oscillator fails to confirm with higher highs) — a classic sign of weakening momentum.
Best Use Cases:
Indices (FTSEMIB, DAX, CAC, SPX, etc.), stocks and futures with defined trading hours, crypto (set session duration to 24 hours).
Works well on intraday (e.g., 15m, 30m, 1h) and daily charts.
Customization Tips:
- Shorten fast/slow lengths for faster signals (more noise)
- Lengthen them for smoother, longer-term analysis
- Adjust session duration for non-standard market hours
- Enable/disable the signal line in the settings
Note: Volume data quality can vary by symbol and exchange. Always combine this indicator with price action and other tools. Use proper risk management.
Volume ROC (smoothed)Description
The Volume ROC (Rate of Change) indicator is designed to measure the momentum of trading volume over a user-defined period, adjusted for the trading session length of the symbol (e.g., 8.5 hours for the FTSEMIB index). This makes it particularly useful for intraday charts where standard daily calculations might not align with actual trading days.
By focusing on volume changes rather than price, it helps identify potential shifts in market participation, such as accumulation, distribution, or unusual activity that could precede price movements.
How It Works:
Session Adjustment:
The indicator calculates the number of candles per trading day based on the input session duration (in hours) and the chart's timeframe. This ensures that the ROC and other calculations are based on "trading days" rather than calendar days, making it adaptable to markets with non-standard hours like European indices (e.g., FTSEMIB).
Daily Data Fetch:
It retrieves daily high, low, close, and volume data using "request.security" to ensure consistency across timeframes.
ROC Calculation:
The Rate of Change (ROC) is computed on volume using "ta.change" over the specified length (in days), multiplied by the candles-per-day factor for timeframe independence. By chosing the subtraction method instead of the division method we avoid distortions of the ROC below the zero line (method ok for timespans inferior to two years).
Smoothing with SMA:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to the ROC to reduce noise and highlight trends in volume momentum.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The standard deviation of the smoothed ROC is calculated over a lookback period. Bands are plotted at +2σ (overbought) and -2σ (oversold) to provide context for extreme volume changes, similar to Bollinger Bands but applied to volume ROC.
Key Plots:
SMA Line (Orange): The smoothed ROC value. Positive values indicate increasing volume momentum; negative values suggest decreasing momentum.
Zero Line (Black Dotted): A reference line at 0, separating positive and negative ROC territories.
+2σ Band (Red Dotted): Upper overbought threshold. Crossings above this may signal excessive buying volume.
-2σ Band (Green Dotted): Lower oversold threshold. Dips below this could indicate capitulation or low interest.
Usage and Interpretation:
Trend Confirmation:
Use the SMA crossing above/below zero to confirm price trends with volume backing. For example, a rising price with positive Volume ROC suggests strong conviction.
Divergences:
Look for divergences between price and Volume ROC (e.g., price making new highs but ROC weakening), which can signal reversals.
Overbought/Oversold Signals:
The ±2σ bands act as dynamic levels. Volume ROC spiking above +2σ might precede pullbacks, while below -2σ could indicate buying opportunities.
Best Applied To:
European indices (like FTSEMIB or DAX), stocks, or futures with defined session hours. Test on intraday (e.g., 2h) and combine with price-based indicators like RSI or MACD for confluence.
Customization:
Adjust the ROC/SMA lengths for sensitivity (shorter for scalping, longer for swings). The STDEV lookback affects band width—longer periods create smoother bands.
Limitations:
Volume data can be noisy in low-liquidity symbols. This indicator assumes consistent session lengths; irregular holidays may affect accuracy. Always backtest and use with risk management.
This indicator is original and built for educational/trading purposes.
Volatility State Index [Interakktive]The Volatility State Index (VSI) classifies market volatility into three behavioral states: Expansion, Decay, and Transition. It answers one question visually: Is volatility supporting price movement, withdrawing, or unstable?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators that show levels or bands, VSI diagnoses the current volatility regime so traders can adapt their approach accordingly.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Classifies volatility into three states: Expansion (teal), Decay (grey), Transition (amber)
• Measures volatility momentum as a percentage rate-of-change
• Applies stability filtering to detect unstable/choppy conditions
• Uses persistence logic to prevent state flickering
• Exports state data for use in alerts and strategies
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO buy/sell signals
• NO entry/exit recommendations
• NO alerts (v1 is diagnostic only)
• NO performance claims
This is a volatility diagnostic tool, not a trading system.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The VSI processes volatility through a five-stage pipeline:
STAGE 1 — Base Volatility
Calculates ATR as the foundation for volatility measurement.
STAGE 2 — Smoothing
Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise in the volatility series.
STAGE 3 — Volatility Momentum
Computes the percentage rate-of-change of smoothed volatility:
Volatility Momentum (%) = ((Current ATR - Previous ATR) / Previous ATR) × 100
Positive values indicate expanding volatility; negative values indicate contracting volatility.
STAGE 4 — Stability Filter
Tracks how frequently volatility momentum changes direction. Frequent sign changes indicate unstable, choppy conditions.
Stability Score = 1 - (Average Flip Rate)
Low stability forces the Transition state regardless of momentum level.
STAGE 5 — State Classification
Combines momentum thresholds and stability to determine the final state:
• Expansion: Momentum ≥ +5% (default threshold)
• Decay: Momentum ≤ -5% (default threshold)
• Transition: Between thresholds OR low stability
A persistence filter requires states to hold for multiple bars before confirming, preventing visual noise.
█ INTERPRETATION
EXPANSION (Teal)
Volatility is increasing in a sustained way. Price moves are becoming larger.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to follow through
• Stops may need wider placement
• Trend-following approaches tend to work better
• Mean-reversion weakens
DECAY (Grey)
Volatility is decreasing. Price is compressing into tighter ranges.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to fail
• Ranges tend to hold
• Trend-following underperforms
• Mean-reversion strengthens
TRANSITION (Amber)
Volatility behavior is unclear or unstable. This is NOT neutral — it is uncertainty.
What it suggests:
• Mixed signals — one bar huge, next bar dead
• Higher whipsaw risk
• Reduced conviction in either direction
• Consider waiting for clarity
The key insight: Amber is a warning, not a middle ground. It appears when volatility cannot decide what it wants to do.
█ VISUAL DESIGN
The indicator uses a state-first histogram design:
• Histogram height shows volatility momentum percentage
• Histogram color shows the classified state
• Zero line provides visual anchor
• Optional momentum line for confirmation
• Optional background tint (default OFF for clean charts)
The visual hierarchy prioritizes instant state recognition. A trader should understand the volatility environment in under one second without reading numbers.
█ INPUTS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Base volatility measurement period (default: 14)
• Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing applied to ATR (default: 10)
• Momentum Length: Rate-of-change lookback (default: 10)
State Classification
• Expansion Threshold (%): Momentum above this = Expansion (default: 5.0)
• Decay Threshold (%): Momentum below this = Decay (default: -5.0)
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change (default: 3)
• Stability Lookback: Window for stability calculation (default: 20)
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition (default: 0.5)
Visual Settings
• Show State Histogram: Toggle main display (default: ON)
• Show Momentum Line: Thin confirmation line (default: OFF)
• Show Zero Line: Baseline reference (default: ON)
• Show Background Tint: Subtle state coloring (default: OFF)
█ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS
When enabled, the following values are exported:
• ATR (Raw)
• ATR (Smoothed)
• Volatility Momentum (%)
• Stability Score (0-1)
• State (-1/0/1): Decay = -1, Transition = 0, Expansion = 1
• Is Expansion (0/1)
• Is Decay (0/1)
• Is Transition (0/1)
These exports allow VSI to be used as a filter in Pine Script strategies or alert conditions.
█ ORIGINALITY
While ATR and volatility indicators are common, VSI is original because it:
1. Classifies volatility into behavioral states rather than showing raw levels
2. Applies momentum analysis to volatility itself (rate-of-change of ATR)
3. Uses stability filtering to detect genuinely unstable conditions
4. Implements persistence logic to prevent state flickering
5. Provides a state-first visual design optimized for instant recognition
VSI is state-first: it classifies volatility regimes (Expansion/Decay/Transition) rather than plotting volatility level alone, using momentum and stability to reduce false regime reads.
This is not a modified ATR or Bollinger Band — it is a volatility regime classifier.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto
Timeframes: All timeframes — state classification adapts accordingly
Best on: Instruments with consistent volatility patterns
█ RELATED
• Market Efficiency Ratio — measures price path efficiency
• Effort-Result Divergence — compares volume effort to price result

Open Interest Bubbles [BackQuant]Open Interest Bubbles
A visual OI positioning overlay that aggregates futures open interest across major venues, normalizes it into a consistent “signal strength” scale, then plots extreme events as bubbles, labels, and optional horizontal levels directly on price.
What this is for
Open interest is one of the cleanest ways to track when positioning is building, unwinding, or aggressively shifting. The problem is raw OI is noisy, exchange-specific, and hard to compare across time. This script solves that by:
- Aggregating OI across multiple exchanges.
- Letting you choose what “OI signal” you care about (raw, delta, percent versions).
- Normalizing the signal so “big events” are easy to spot.
- Plotting those events as bubbles and levels at the exact price they occurred.
You end up with a clean, fast visual map of where large positioning changes occurred, and where those events may later matter as reaction points.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Plotting types (what you can display)
Bubbles
This mode plots OI events as size-bucketed circles on the chart. Bigger bubbles represent stronger normalized events. You can tune:
- Bubble sizing by bucket (Tiny → Huge).
- Heatmap vs solid color styling.
- Signed vs unsigned coloring (positive/negative separation or magnitude-only).
Best use:
- Spotting “where something changed” at a glance.
- Identifying clusters of positioning events around key price zones.
- Seeing whether the market is repeatedly building/closing positions at similar levels.
Levels
Levels mode draws a horizontal line at the anchor price when an extreme OI event triggers. These act like “positioning memory” levels:
- They do not claim to be support/resistance by themselves.
- They highlight prices where the derivatives market clearly did something meaningful.
Best use:
- Marking potential reaction zones.
- Combining with your price action tools (structure, OBs, FVGs) to confirm whether an OI level aligns with a technical level.
- Building a “map” of where leverage likely entered or exited.
Modes available in the script:
- Off
- Bubbles
- Bubbles + Labels
- Labels Only
- Levels + Labels
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Aggregated Open Interest source (multi-exchange)
This indicator builds a single aggregated OI series by requesting OI data from multiple exchanges and summing it. You can toggle exchanges on/off:
- Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit
You can also choose OI units:
- COIN , OI in base units (native sizing)
- USD , converted for a dollar-value representation
Important note:
Not every symbol has OI data on every venue. If the script cannot build an aggregated series for the symbol, it will throw an error rather than quietly plotting garbage.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
OI Source, what the bubbles are measuring
You control what “signal” is normalized and plotted:
- Delta , change in aggregated OI from the prior bar.
Use when you want to highlight bursts of new positioning or sudden unwind events.
- Raw OI , the aggregated open interest level itself.
Use when you want to highlight absolute positioning build-up periods.
- Delta % , percent change in OI.
Use when you want moves normalized to the current OI regime, useful across different market eras.
- Raw OI % , percent change form of the raw series.
Use when you want relative changes rather than absolute size.
Practical guidance:
- Delta modes are best for “event detection”.
- Raw modes are better for “regime context” and whether positioning is structurally rising or fading.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Normalization (the key to making it readable)
Because OI varies massively across assets and time, the script includes multiple normalization modes to convert your chosen OI source into a comparable “strength” value.
Options:
- ZScore , deviation from a rolling mean in standard deviation units.
- StdNorm , scaled by rolling standard deviation.
- AbsZScore , absolute value version for magnitude-only mapping.
- AbsStdNorm , absolute value version for magnitude-only mapping.
- None , plots raw values (advanced users only, often too noisy visually).
Why this matters:
Normalization makes a “1.5” or “3.0” threshold mean something across different assets and timeframes, instead of being stuck to raw OI units.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Threshold system (when bubbles/levels trigger)
The plot is driven by two user thresholds:
- Base Threshold
Controls where “meaningful” events start. Raising this reduces noise and focuses on larger deviations.
- Extreme Threshold
Controls what qualifies as a top-tier event. Extreme events are what you typically want to convert into labels and levels.
You also control side filtering:
- Both , show positive and negative events.
- Positive Only , show only increases (or positive signal side depending on source).
- Negative Only , show only decreases (or negative signal side).
In practice:
- Use Base Threshold to tune chart cleanliness.
- Use Extreme Threshold to mark only the “big stuff” that tends to matter later.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Anchor Source (where the bubble/level is placed)
The indicator places bubbles, labels, and levels at a price anchor you choose:
- HL2, Close, Open, High, Low, VWAP
This is important because “where you pin the event” changes how it reads:
- Close is clean and consistent for backtesting and candle-close logic.
- High/Low can better represent where the fight occurred intrabar.
- VWAP can be useful for “fair price” anchoring in active markets.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Style system (theme, palette, signed logic)
This script is built to look good and stay readable on busy charts.
Themes
- BackQuant, Classic, Ice, Fire, Mono, Custom
Palette Mode
- Solid , one consistent color
- Heatmap , intensity increases with magnitude
- Single Color Adaptive , adapts to chart background for clarity
Side Coloring
- Signed , positive and negative events can use different ramps
- Unsigned , magnitude-only coloring
Negative theme handling:
- Auto (mirrors your chosen theme),
- Invert (flips the ramp),
- Custom (fully user-defined negative palette).
What this gives you:
- You can run a clean “mono” look for professional charts.
- Or a high-contrast heatmap for fast scanning.
- Or fully custom branding colors for BackQuant-style presentation.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Labels (what’s inside the label)
When labels are enabled, the script can display:
- OI , the aggregated OI value
- OI + Norm , OI plus normalized strength
- Norm Only , just the normalized strength
- Src + Norm , the selected source value (Delta, Raw, %) plus normalized strength
You can also control:
- Left/Center/Right label alignment
- Number formatting style (Raw, Compact, Volume format)
Best practice:
- Use “Src + Norm” when you want both the raw event size and its rarity.
- Use “Norm Only” when you want a clean, minimal chart.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Levels and object limits (performance and cleanliness)
Because this script draws objects, it includes a hard cleanup system:
- You set Max Levels / Labels to control chart clutter.
- The script deletes older lines/labels when the limit is exceeded.
This is critical if you trade lower timeframes, where OI events can trigger frequently.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
How to interpret the signals
What a large bubble usually means:
- A statistically large positioning change relative to recent history.
- This can represent fresh leverage entering, forced liquidations, or aggressive de-risking, depending on direction and context.
How to use levels:
- Treat them as “attention levels”, not automatic entries.
- Combine them with structure and liquidity tools:
- If price revisits an OI level and shows rejection, it often confirms that level mattered.
- If price slices through with no reaction, it often indicates the OI event was transitional, not defended.
Common setups:
- Clustered extreme bubbles near a breakout zone, then retest later.
- Extreme negative event at capitulation low, followed by structure flip.
- Extreme positive build into resistance, then unwind and mean reversion.

Here is the original script:
NQ Lunch High Low First Sweep StrategyThis script identifies the FIRST liquidity sweep of the Lunch session high or low
after the Lunch session has ended, based on ICT / Killzone concepts.
Logic summary:
• Tracks Lunch session High and Low (New York time)
• After Lunch session closes, monitors the market on 5-minute timeframe
• Triggers ONLY on the first sweep:
– Price wicks beyond Lunch High and closes back below → SHORT signal
– Price wicks beyond Lunch Low and closes back above → LONG signal
• Generates an alert at the exact bar where entry is expected
• Designed specifically for Nasdaq (NQ) futures
• One trade per day – no overtrading
Notes:
• Intended for 5-minute charts only
• Uses New York session timing
• This script does NOT manage exits (TP/SL) – entry logic only
• Best used as a confluence tool, not a standalone system
Educational & discretionary use only.
First Candle Range (FCR) Gold Strategy - EtubersThe 18:00 (6:00 PM) candle is widely used by traders in the Forex and Futures markets because it marks the New York market rollover and the start of the Asian session.
How the Strategy Works:
- The Range: The High and Low prices of the 1-hour candle (18:00–19:00) create a "Supply and Demand" zone.
- The Breakout: A candle closing above the high signals a bullish breakout; a candle closing below the low signals a bearish breakout.
- Institutional Memory: By extending this zone forward for 4 days, traders can identify where "old" 18:00 levels act as support or resistance in the future.
- Execution: Traders often wait for a breakout followed by a "retest" of the box boundary to enter a high-probability trade.
Multi-Timeframe High Low Marking LinesThis indicator automatically draws clean horizontal lines at the high and low of the previous 10 periods (adjustable) for four different timeframes simultaneously: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly.
Perfect for marking key support/resistance levels across multiple timeframes on any chart.
Key features:
• Shows previous 10 highs and lows per timeframe (change to 5, 15, 20 etc. in settings)
• Lines extend 20 bars to the right so they remain visible (adjustable)
• Individual on/off switch for each timeframe
• Clean blue lines, max 500 lines limit respected
• Works perfectly on any chart timeframe (1-minute to monthly)
• No repainting – lines only appear after the period has closed
Use cases:
Spot major daily/weekly/monthly support & resistance at a glance
Trade breakouts and reversals with higher-timeframe confirmation
Combine with your existing strategy (ICT, SMC, price action)
Ideal for stocks, forex, crypto and futures
Settings explained:
Timeframe 1–4 → Choose any timeframe (D, W, M, 3M already preset)
Show/Hide → Turn any timeframe on or off instantly
Periods to show → How many previous highs/lows you want visible

Market Efficiency Ratio [Interakktive]The Market Efficiency Ratio decomposes price movement into two components: net progress vs wasted movement. This tool exposes the underlying math that most traders never see, helping you understand when price is moving efficiently versus chopping sideways.
Unlike simple trend indicators, this shows you WHY price movement matters — not just whether it's up or down, but how much of that movement was useful directional progress versus noisy oscillation.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Calculates Efficiency Ratio (0–1 or 0–100) measuring directional progress
• Exposes Net Displacement (how far price actually moved)
• Exposes Path Length (total distance price traveled)
• Calculates Chop Cost (wasted movement)
• Visual zones for high/mid/low efficiency states
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO signals, NO entries/exits, NO buy/sell
• NO performance claims
• NO predictions — purely diagnostic
• This is a tool for understanding price behavior
█ HOW IT WORKS
The efficiency ratio answers one question: "Of all the movement price made, how much was useful progress?"
🔹 THE MATH
Over a lookback period of N bars:
Net Displacement = |Close - Close |
Path Length = Σ |Close - Close | for all bars
Efficiency Ratio = Net Displacement / Path Length
🔹 INTERPRETATION
• Efficiency = 1.0 (100%): Price moved in a straight line — every tick was progress
• Efficiency = 0.5 (50%): Half the movement was wasted in back-and-forth chop
• Efficiency = 0.0 (0%): Price ended exactly where it started — all movement was noise
🔹 CHOP COST
This is the "wasted movement" — how much price traveled without making progress:
Chop Cost = Path Length - Net Displacement
Chop % = Chop Cost / Path Length
High chop cost means lots of effort for little result — a warning sign for trend traders.
█ VISUAL GUIDE
Three efficiency zones:
• GREEN (≥70): High efficiency — strong directional movement
• YELLOW (30-70): Mixed efficiency — some progress, some chop
• RED (<30): Low efficiency — mostly noise, little progress
█ INPUTS
Lookback Length (default: 14)
Number of bars to calculate efficiency over. Higher values produce smoother readings but respond slower to changes.
Smoothing Length (default: 5)
EMA smoothing applied to the output. Reduces noise in the efficiency reading.
Apply Smoothing (default: true)
Toggle EMA smoothing on/off.
Scale Mode (default: 0–100)
Display as percentage (0-100) or decimal ratio (0-1).
Show Reference Bands (default: true)
Display the high/low efficiency threshold lines.
Low/High Efficiency Level (default: 30/70)
Thresholds for classifying efficiency zones.
Overlay Effect (default: None)

█ USE CASES
This indicator helps traders understand:
• Why some trends are "clean" and others are "messy"
• When price is consolidating vs trending (without using volume)
• The relationship between movement and progress
• Why high-chop environments are difficult to trade
This is the foundational concept behind more advanced regime detection systems.

Advanced custom multi MA signals (EMA/SMA/VWMA/VWAP) Features of Multi Moving Averages
The biggest enemy in trading is "Noise." If you get swayed by minute fluctuations on the chart, you end up missing the forest for the trees.
This indicator (Advanced Custom Multi MA Signals) is not just a simple line. By combining the three core elements of Price, Time, and Volume, it acts as a navigation system that visualizes the market's "true trend." In particular, the ability to analyze 5 moving averages simultaneously across various timeframes is akin to viewing a 3D map of the battlefield.
Understanding Core Concepts
This indicator supports 4 types of moving averages. It is crucial to clearly understand the nature of each tool.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): The most basic average value. Since it produces fewer whipsaws (false signals), it is used as a baseline to judge the "long-term trend."
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Places more weight on recent prices. It reacts sensitively to market changes, making it advantageous for identifying "entry points."
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): Incorporates "volume" into the price calculation. It acts as a "false signal filter," weeding out price moves that aren't backed by trading volume.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): The benchmark price used by institutional investors for daily trading. It is calculated based on the session, regardless of the period settings. It is considered the "lifeline" of day trading.
Indicator Settings Guide
Open the settings window and tune it to fit your trading style.
MA 01 ~ 05 (Moving Average Settings)
MA Type: Select according to your purpose. (Generally, EMA is recommended for short-term analysis, SMA/VWMA for long-term).
Length: Enter the period you wish to analyze (e.g., 20, 60, 120, 200).
Timeframe: This is the core feature. It allows you to overlay moving averages from a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour, Daily) onto the chart you are currently viewing (e.g., 15-minute).
Signal Option (Trading Signals)
Golden Cross (GC) / Death Cross (DC): Captures the moment the short-term line breaks through the long-term line. You can run up to 3 strategies simultaneously.
Ribbon Gradient (Trend Visualization)
Represents the gap between two moving averages with color. As the color deepens and the width expands, it indicates a powerful trend; if the width narrows, it suggests a high probability of a trend reversal.
5 Usage Strategies
The highlight of this indicator is the cross strategy utilizing the "Multi-Timeframe (MTF)" feature. Familiarize yourself with the 5 example strategies below and set up your own strategy based on your expertise.
💡 Tip 1. Do not go against the "Major Trend" (The Authority of the Weekly Candle)
Settings: Set MA5 to .
Interpretation: The Weekly 50 line is the "major trend line" managed by institutions and market makers. If the current price is above this line, maintain only a "Buy (Long)" bias; if below, maintain only a "Sell (Short)" bias. Adhering to this rule alone can help you avoid massive losses.
💡 Tip 2. Highly Reliable "Swing Signal" (Daily Golden Cross)
Settings: In Signal 1, configure the Short MA to and the Long MA to .
Interpretation: A Golden Cross where the 4-Hour 50 EMA breaks above the Daily 50 EMA often signifies a major "trend reversal" rather than a temporary rebound. This provides an ideal entry signal for office workers or swing traders who need high reliability.
💡 Tip 3. 4-Hour Candle as the Standard for "Precision Entry"
Situation: When the Daily trend is rising (Bullish alignment).
Strategy: While watching the 15-minute or 1-hour chart, set the indicator's Signal 2 to the cross of and .
Interpretation: When the Daily chart is in an uptrend, a Golden Cross occurring on the 4-Hour chart marks "the point where a correction (pullback) ends and the rise resumes." This is the entry point with the best risk-to-reward ratio.
💡 Tip 4. Filtering Out "Fake Signals" (The Secret of Volume)
Strategy: When creating a cross signal, try using VWMA (Volume Weighted) for the Long MA, even if you use EMA for the Short MA.
Reason: A Golden Cross caused simply by a rise in price can be a trap. However, if it breaks through the heavy VWMA line accompanied by volume, it is strong evidence that "genuine liquidity" has entered.
💡 Tip 5. Remember the "Hierarchy" (Higher Timeframe Priority Rule)
Principle: If a Golden Cross (Buy Signal) appears on the 4-Hour chart, but the Daily chart is in a Death Cross (Sell Signal) state, do not enter.
Interpretation: A signal from a lower timeframe cannot overcome the power of a higher timeframe. The professional approach is to trade with significant volume only when signals align (Sync) in the order of Weekly > Daily > 4-Hour. Keep this indicator's dashboard feature on and always check the status of higher timeframes.
Signal Generation Principle (Operating Mechanism)
Signals are generated when the set short-term moving average and long-term moving average cross each other.
📈 1. Golden Cross (BUY = Buy Signal)
Situation: The moment the short-term MA crosses upward from below the long-term MA.
Principle: It implies that recent buying pressure has broken through the resistance level accumulated over a long period.
📉 2. Death Cross (SELL = Sell Signal)
Situation: The moment the short-term MA crosses downward from above the long-term MA.
Principle: It implies that recent selling pressure has collapsed the long-term support line.

Investment Caution and Disclaimer
Before using this indicator for actual trading, please strictly read the contents below.
① Auxiliary indicators are a "Compass," not a "Book of Prophecy."
This indicator is merely a tool that mathematically calculates and visualizes past price data. A "magic indicator" that predicts future price fluctuations 100% accurately or guarantees profit does not exist. The signals provided are for reference only and must never be the sole basis for entry/exit decisions.
② The responsibility for all investments lies with "Yourself."
Financial investment (Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Futures, etc.) involves high volatility and is a risky activity that can result in the loss of some or all of the principal. The final responsibility for all trading results (profits and losses) incurred by utilizing this indicator lies entirely with the investor. The distributor and developer accept no legal responsibility for investment results under any circumstances.
③ Past data does not guarantee the future.
Even a Golden Cross that fit perfectly in backtesting or past charts may operate differently in tomorrow's market situation (News, Macroeconomics, Unexpected Variables, etc.). Do not rely solely on technical analysis; you must conduct fundamental analysis and risk management in parallel.
④ Risk management is the top priority.
No matter how promising a signal appears, "all-in trading" (investing all assets in a single trade) is a shortcut to bankruptcy. More important than the indicator itself is adhering to the principles of strict scaling in (split buying) and Stop-Loss.
Supertrend + EMA + RSI Algo (Low Risk High Accuracy)This is a trend-following + momentum confirmation strategy designed to reduce false signals and control loss.
Supertrend (10,3) → Identifies overall market direction (Buy in uptrend, Sell in downtrend)
EMA 50 & EMA 200 → Confirms strong trend and avoids sideways market
Buy only when EMA 50 is above EMA 200
Sell only when EMA 50 is below EMA 200
RSI (14) → Confirms momentum
Buy when RSI > 55 (strong bullish momentum)
Sell when RSI < 45 (strong bearish momentum)
---
🔹 Entry Logic
BUY: Market is in uptrend + strong momentum
SELL: Market is in downtrend + strong bearish pressure
---
🔹 Risk Management (Most Important)
Stop Loss: Based on ATR (adapts to volatility)
Target: Fixed Risk-Reward ratio (example: 1 : 2.5)
This keeps loss small and profits larger
