expected range STUDYThis is an indicator that measures how much price movement (low to high) we've seen in a set of 1 bar back, 2 bars back, 3 bars back, 5 bars back, 8 bars back using the Fibonacci sequence up to 89 bars back, and then measures how low or high within each range we are, sort of like giving a rating of 0 for sitting on the lower Bollinger Band and a rating of 100 for sitting on the higher Bollinger band. It combines all the data and weights the data by the historical strength of signal from each length of bands. It's been tuned to a 2 hour XBTUSD chart, but it could be used on other things and other timeframes too. Some tweaking would be needed, though. The final result works more like a trend following indictor than and indicator that tries to pick an exact trend reversal point. However, you're free to use it how you want. Frequently you get a nice red or green spike up showing you when the bottom or top is in, but sometimes those spikes are just the start of an extended down move or up move. On the chart, a buy (long) signal is generated when the green line crosses up above the orange line. To make it extra clear the background is green when you should be long. A sell (short) signal is generated with the red line crosses up above the yellow line. The background will be red when you should be short. If the background is black, it's indicating a profit of over 53% was taken and it's waiting for another trade to start. Up to you to take profit or keep riding your trade. For XBTUSD trades, a full take profit on any trade exceeding 53% gains works nice (on 1x leverage) and a stoploss of -7% works quite nicely too. One could use this on up to 2x leverage but I wouldn't recommend going much higher. Have fun. Trade carefully. Don't get rekt. I will release the "expected range STRATEGY" to go along with this so you can do your own backtesting. Disclaimer: I haven't tested the alerts, but they should work. Use at your own risk.

NoNonsense Forex - high timeframe trading absurd NON-REPAINTINGSome time ago I bumped into NoNonsense Forex - pretty good-looking course with well-designed videos, reasonable rules, etc. Nice explanatory videos, not selling anything, building indicators-only strategy. But there was one thing that really annoyed me - it was supposed to work only on Daily timeframe. What is the point in trading such high timeframe, if decisions changing market direction are playing out within 1 minute? What is the point in evaluating trades from 1994 if we are 25 years later? Anyway, I have developed this strategy, which is: - non-repainting - not using trailing-stop - not using any other known TradingView backtest bugs And I'm showing it as an example of OVERFITTING. Backtesting results look absurd: 100% profitable. But if you change any of the many parameters in the Settings popup, they will turn into disaster. It means, the rules of this strategy are very fragile. Don't trade this! Remember about backtesting rule #1: past results do not guarantee success in the future. I'm giving this strategy out with the source code. Feel free to do anything you want with it. But if you find parameters or modifications on, which allow profitable trading on lower timeframes, don't be shy, let me know :) ********* Forex / Indices / Commodities traders who want to start AUTO-TRADING might want to take a look at "TradingConnector", which allows no-latency trades execution from TradingView to MT4/MT5.

Visual RSI [LucF]Visual RSI offers a different way of looking at RSI by providing a composite representation of 9 different RSI-generated components. Instead of focusing on one line only, this approach blends multiple sources to provide the viewer with a larger context RSI-based picture. For those who don’t want to read • Green in bullish (>50) zone is the most bullish. • Red in bullish zone doesn’t necessarily mean bearish—it just means bullish strength is weakening. It may be just a pause before a reprise or exhaustion signalling a reversal—impossible to tell. • The same in inverse applies to the bearish zone (<50). For those who want to understand The nine components making up Visual RSI are: • a current timeframe RSI • a higher timeframe RSI • the delta between these two RSI lines • for each of these three basic components, two independent Bollinger band: one calculated for the bullish section of the scale (>50) and a separate one calculated for the lower bearish region. Dual BBs In my view, RSI’s position with regards to the centerline is much more important than its position in extreme areas. Why? Because the building block of RSI is the ratio of the averages of up/down moves during the RSI period. When the average of ups is greater, RSI is > 50. So while a rising signal starting from 20 let’s say, indicates that the rate of change is increasing, only when it crosses 50 can we say that sentiment balance has truly become bullish, and this information is more reliable than the signal being at a level corresponding to whatever estimate we make of what constitutes an extreme value. In my landscape, the general balance of a ratio provides more valuable information than the ratio’s exact value. The idea behind the dual BBs is to provide independent tracking information for both halves of the indicator’s space, which I find more useful than the normal method of simply adding a multiple of the standard deviation on both sides of the mean. With dual BBs, the upper BB will never go lower than the indicator’s centerline, and the lower BB will never go higher. The upper BB focuses on upper-bound volatility when the signal is bearish, and the lower BB focuses on downside volatility when the signal is bearish. The functions used to calculate the independent BBs are reusable on other signals if a centerline can be defined for them. A clamping percentage is implemented, so that when a BB line is hugging the centerline it clamps to it. This helps in providing earlier signals when they use the BB line states. Providing context to RSI What RSI measures indirectly is the balance in the rate of change—or the speed of price movement, but not its instant value, otherwise RSI would be even noisier. More precisely, RSI represents the relative strength of the up/down movement in the last n bars of RSI’s length, with 14 often used because that’s what Wilder proposed (Visual RSI’s defaults are 20 for the current timeframe and 40 for the higher timeframe). At every bar, a new value is added to the equation and an old value carrying equal weight is dropped, so a large dropped off value will have more impact on RSI’s value if the new bar’s move is small. This accounts for some of RSI’s speed in identifying exhaustion after important moves, but almost for some of its noise. Visual RSI is the result of trying to drown RSI’s noise in the context of other informational streams, while simultaneously providing even faster information than RSI alone, by giving more visual weight to the delta between the current and higher timeframe RSI’s. How to read Visual RSI The default settings show all 9 basic components as green/red areas of intensities varying with their importance. The most intense colors are reserved for the delta RSI and the BBs have the lightest intensities. The individual lines of components are intentionally difficult to distinguish so that focus is first on the general picture, including the all-important six-state background, and then on the delta RSI. One entry setup could be reversals in a larger trend context, so low pivots of the delta in a fully bullish context (a green background in the upper section of the indicator), and inversely, high pivots in a fully bearish context (a red background in the lower section of the indicator). Please resist the common misconception, when interpreting RSI, that a reversal in the signal will necessarily lead to a reversal in price. Each trend has its rhythm. Only machine-generated price action can progress regularly. It’s normal for trends to take a breather for some time before they continue or reverse, as traders driving the trend experience emotional fatigue and gradual fear. RSI reversals merely signify that such a breather has occurred—nothing more. Only the larger context can provide information that can situate that pause and put more meaningful odds on it having more probability of continuing in one direction or the other. This is the reasoning behind the setup just described. Features • All components can be hidden, displayed as a simple line, a uniformly colored fill, or a green/red fill (the default). • The background can be colored using 9 different methods, including 3 six-state methods using the rising/falling BB lines of the 3 basic components. These six states allow for bullish/bearish/neutral sentiment in both the upper and lower regions of the indicator. A bearish (dark red) background in the bullish (>50) section of the indicator represents decreasing bullishness. A bearish (slightly brighter red) in the bearish (<50) section of the indicator means incresingly bearish sentiment. The six-state backgrounds allow for neutral (no color) sentiment when no compelling signs can be found to conclude anything with meaningful odds. The default background uses the six-state method on the higher timeframe RSI’s BBs because I find it the most useful, as it represents the largest—and slowest—context sentiment among all the indicator’s components. • A thin status bar in the top part of the indicator also allows selection of the same 9 methods to color it. The default is a triple-state system using the rising/falling characteristics of the current timeframe RSI’s BBs to provide a short-term counterbalance to the long-term background. • Three different markers can be configured using approximately 70 permutations each, each filtered by 20 different filter permutations. When modification of the relevant parameters in the script’s Settings/Settings/Parameters section is added, possibilities are almost endless. If the generated signals are then fed into the PineCoders Engine and combined with the Engine’s own options, the permutations go up another order of magnitude, and changes to any setting can be instantly evaluated using the Engine’s backtesting results. • Five simple filters can be combined. They are additive. They include volume-related conditions and a chandelier, which I find useful because both volume and volatility (the chandelier using highs/lows and ATR) are sensible complementary sources to RSI’s momentum information. The filter’s state can be shown as a thin line at the bottom of the indicator. • Alerts can be configured using any of the marker/filter combinations mentioned. As usual, once your markers/filters are set up the way you want, create your alert from the chart/timeframe you want the alert to run on and be sure to use the “Once Per Bar Close” triggering condition. Use an alert message that will remind you of which combination of markers were used when creating the alert. • A plot providing entry signals for the PineCoders Backtesting & Trading Engine is supplied. It will use whichever marker/filter configuration is active to generate signals. • All higher timeframe information is non-repainting. Higher timeframe lines can be smoothed (the default). The selection of the higher timeframe can be made using 3 different methods: 1. By steps (if current timeframe <= 1 minute: 60 min, <= 60 min: 1D, <= 6H: 3D, <= 1D: 1W, <=1W: 1M, >1W: 12M) 2. By a user-defined multiple of the current timeframe 3. Using a fixed timeframe Thanks to: • Alex Orekhov aka @everget for the chandelier code. • @RicardoSantos who through a small remark early on, unknowingly put me on the track of eliminating noise through visual crowding. • The brilliant guys in the PineCoders Pro room for your knowledge, limitless creativity and constant companionship.

WOW no repainting and no security() call! 100% real results!If you couldn't tell by the title, this is a joke lmao. TV has an awful backtesting engine and I just wanted to prove this with a super simple script. We buy when close > open and sell when close < open. That's it. There is also some risk management and trade closing when we reach a certain drawdown, but wait! TradingView doesn't know what equity drawdown is because they don't use tick data or any lower timeframe data! Wowow! Ps - all tickdata for Forex & CFD historical data is free from Dukascopy if you want to perform your own backtesting ;) Dukascopy Data Enjoy -DasanC

Complete turtles strategy based on the donchian channelsDear Traders and investor, I want to demonstrate scrypt of the iconic "trend following strategy" coded by my The main idea was borrowed from the book "Way of the Turtle: The Secret Methods that Turned Ordinary People into Legendary". The strategy is based on the donchian channels and is one of the oldest and easiest strategy in the using. Also strategy include risk managment and trends filter which prevent false entries and high drawndowns. The results are based on the period from 2006 to present, but you can also change timeframe and period of backtesting. Best regards, Vlad

Two Bar Break Line Alerts R1.0 by JustUncleLThis indicator with default settings is designed for BINARY OPTIONS trading. The indicator can also be used for Forex trading with some setting changes. The script shows Two Bar Pullback Break lines and alerts when those Break lines are Touched (broken) creating a short term momentum entry condition. For a Bullish Break (Green Up Arrow) to occur: first must have two (or three) consecutive bear (red) candles which is followed by a bull (green) candle creating a pivot point. The breakout occurs then the High of the current Bull (green) exceeds the highest point of the previous two (or three) pivotal bear candles. The green channel Line shows where the current Bullish BreakOut occurs. For a Bearish Break (Red Down Arrow) to occur: first must have two (or three) consecutive bull (green) candles which is followed by a bear (red) candle creating a pivot point. The breakout occurs when the Low of the current Bear (red) drops below the lowest point of the previous two (or three) pivotal Bull candles. The red channel Line shows where the current Bearish BreakOut occurs. The break Line Arrows can optionally be filtered by the Coloured MA (enabled by default), a longer term directional MA (disabled by default) and/or a MACD condition (enabled by default) as a momentum filter. You can optionally select three Bar break lines instead of two. The three bar break lines are actually equivalent to Guppy's Three Bar Count Back Line method for trade entries (see Guppy's video reference below). Included in this indicator is an ability to display some basic Binary Option statistics, when enabled (enabled by default) it shows Successful Bars in Yellow and failed Bars in Black and the last Nine numbers on the script title line represent the Binary option Statistics in order: %ITM rate Total orders Successful Orders Failed Orders Total candles tested Candles per Day Trades per Day Max Consecutive Wins Max Consecutive Losses You can start the Binary Option statistics from a specific Date, which is handy for checking more recent history. HINTS: BINARY OPTIONS trading: use 5min, 15m, 1hr or even Daily charts. Trade after the price touches one of the Breakout lines and the Arrow first appears. Wait for the price to come back from Break Line by 1 or 2 pips, the alert arrow must stay on and candle change to black, then take Binary trade expiry End of Candle. If price pull back and arrow turns off, don't trade this candle, move on you probably don't have momentum, there will be plenty of other trigger events. The backtesting results are good with ITM rates 65% to 72% on many currency pairs, commodities and indices. Realtime trading has confirmed the backtesting results and they could even be bettered, provided you are selective on which signals to trade (strong MACD support etc), that you are patient and disciplined to this trading method. FOREX trading: the default settings should work with scalping. For longer term trades try with settings change to a more standard MACD filter or slower to catch the longer term momentum swings and the idea would be to trade the first Break Line alert that occurs after a decent Pullback in the direction of the trend. Setting the SL to just above/below the Pivot High/Low and set target to two or three times SL.

3 Duck's Trading System from Babypips.comThe 3 Duck's Trading System from Babypips.com The 3 Duck's Trading System is the most popular and active trading system thread on the the babypips.com forum. It is a system that is mainly for beginners because it teaches you discipline, learning to cope with price moving against your position and learning to stay in a trade and keep profits running. For the thread and more info on the 3 Duck's Trading System click here How does it work? The system is a very simple enter/exit based on the 60 SMA of 3 different time frames: 4 hour, 1 hour and 5 minute. The Rules, er, the Ducks! The Ducks must all be in a row for a trade to take place! Duck 1 - To go long, price must be above the 60 SMA on the 4 hour chart. Duck 2 - To go long, price must be above the 60 SMA on the 1 hour chart. Duck 3 - To go long, price must cross above the 60 SMA on the 5 minute chart and the 60 SMA of the 5 minute chart must be below that of the 4 hour and 1 hour chart. (obviously the reverse for shorting) YOU MUST USE THIS SYSTEM ONLY ON THE 5 MINUTE CHART. I say this because I have already charted all of the Ducks into the 5 minute chart so you don't have to flip back and forth. I have also added some inputs for profit targets, stop targets, trailing stops and times to trade for backtesting. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know! If you see I messed up on something, please let me know! Also a VERY special thanks to the babypips.com user Captain_Currency . He wrote this strategy 10 years ago (2007 was 10 years ago?!) and he is still active on the thread and posting results and offering help!

Adam Smith - MovingAvg CrossSimple Moving Average Cross script. Test on stocks and currency. For stocks test shorter time periods, meaning intra-day time periods such as 3min to 30min and so on to fit what is best. For currency, try longer periods with this model such as day to weeks depending on which currency. NOTE: Take a look at your Max Drawdowns when testing. This will be the main indicator once you figure out your time period for backtesting. This will also let you know how much money to save and/or hold back in savings for down periods.

Trend v4.0 Another updateYet another update, default settings can be customized to your needs. Be aware that while this is similar to the other versions, this can only repaint an active bar, but that slows it down by one period. You are warned. Be that as it may, the basic idea is the same; trying to capture the really strong moves into overbought or oversold territory as defined by Relative Strength index. In RSI mode, you can see the smoothing has slowed it down a bit, but warrants backtesting. First green bar go long, First red bar go short, first white bar possible trend exhaustion. Or use crossovers and such, play with the inputs OB/OS, RSI length, signal length, tick length, swing length, as I said customize to your tastes. I offer no surety as to its efficacy, but we all learn. Trade Responsibly, Shiroki

TradingView Alert Adapter for AlgoWayTRALADAL is a universal TradingView alert adapter designed for traders who work with indicators and want to test and automate indicator-based signals in a structured way. It allows users to convert indicator outputs into a TradingView strategy and forward the same logic through alerts for multi-platform execution via AlgoWay. This script can be used as TradingView indicator automation, enabling traders to build a TradingView strategy from indicators and route TradingView alerts through an AlgoWay connector TradingView workflow for multi-platform execution. Why this adapter is needed Most TradingView indicators are not available as strategies. Traders often receive visual signals or alerts but have no access to objective statistics such as win rate, drawdown, or profit factor. This adapter solves that problem by providing a generic framework that transforms indicator signals into a backtestable strategy — without modifying indicator code and without requiring Pine Script knowledge. Input source–based design (including closed indicators) All conditions in TRALADAL are built using input sources, which means you can connect: Event-based signals (1 / non-zero values, arrows, shapes) Indicator lines and values (EMA, VWAP, RSI, MACD, etc.) Outputs from invite-only or closed-source indicators If an indicator produces a visible signal or alert-compatible output, it can be evaluated and tested using this adapter, even when the source code is locked. Three-level signal logic The strategy uses a three-layer condition model commonly applied in discretionary and systematic trading: Signal — primary entry trigger Confirmation — directional validation Filter — additional noise reduction Each level can be enabled independently and combined using AND / OR logic, allowing traders to test multi-indicator systems without writing complex scripts. Risk management and alert execution The adapter supports practical risk parameters: Stop Loss (pips) Take Profit (pips) Trailing Stop (pips) Two execution modes are available: Strategy Mode — risk rules are applied inside the TradingView Strategy Tester Alert Mode — risk parameters are embedded into structured TradingView alerts and handled by AlgoWay during execution Position sizing follows TradingView conventions (percent of equity, cash, or contracts) to keep strategy results and alerts aligned. Typical use cases This TradingView alert adapter is intended for: Indicator-based trading systems Backtesting signals from closed or invite-only scripts Comparing multiple indicators within a single strategy Sending TradingView alerts to external trading platforms via AlgoWay The adapter does not generate signals or trading recommendations. Its purpose is to provide a transparent and testable workflow from indicator signals to TradingView alerts and automated execution.

Kalman Hull Kijun [BackQuant]Kalman Hull Kijun A trend baseline that merges three ideas into one clean overlay, Kalman filtering for noise control, Hull-style responsiveness, and a Kijun-like Donchian midline for structure and bias. Context and lineage This indicator sits in the same family as two related scripts: Kalman Price Filter This is the foundational building block. It introduces the Kalman filter concept, a state-estimation algorithm designed to infer an underlying “true” signal from noisy measurements, originally used in aerospace guidance and later adopted across robotics, economics, and markets. Kalman Hull Supertrend This is the original script made, which people loved. So it inspired me to create this one. Kalman Hull Kijun uses the same core philosophy as the Supertrend variant, but instead of building a Supertrend band system, it produces a single structural baseline that behaves like a Kijun-style reference line. What this indicator is trying to solve Most trend baselines sit on a bad trade-off curve: If you smooth hard, the line reacts late and misses turns. If you react fast, the line whipsaws and tracks noise. Kalman Hull Kijun is designed to land closer to the middle: Cleaner than typical fast moving averages in chop. More responsive than slow averages in directional phases. More “structure aware” than pure averages because the baseline is range-derived (Kijun-like) after filtering. Core idea in plain language The plotted line is a Kijun-like baseline, but it is not built from raw candles directly. High level flow: Start with a chosen price stream (source input). Reduce measurement noise using Kalman-style state estimation. Add Hull-style responsiveness so the filtered stream stays usable for trend work. Build a Kijun-like baseline by taking a Donchian midpoint of that filtered stream over the base period. So the output is a single baseline that is intended to be: Less jittery than a simple fast MA. Less laggy than a slow MA. More “range anchored” than standard smoothing lines. How to read it 1) Trend and bias (the primary use) Price above the baseline, bullish bias. Price below the baseline, bearish bias. Clean flips across the baseline are regime changes, especially when followed by a hold or retest. 2) Retests and dynamic structure Treat the baseline like dynamic S/R rather than a signal generator: In uptrends, pullbacks that respect the baseline can act as continuation context. In downtrends, reclaim failures around the baseline can act as continuation context. Repeated back-and-forth around the line usually means compression or chop, not clean trend. 3) Extension vs compression (using the fill) The fill is meant to communicate “distance” and “pressure” visually: Large separation between price and baseline suggests expansion. Price compressing into the baseline suggests rebalancing and decision points. Inputs and what they change Kijun Base Period Controls the structural memory of the baseline. Higher values track broader swings and reduce flips. Lower values track tighter swings and react faster. Kalman Price Source Defines what data the filter is estimating. Close is usually the cleanest default. HL2 often “feels” smoother as an average price. High/Low sources can become more reactive and less stable depending on the market. Measurement Noise Think of this as the main smoothness knob: Higher values generally produce a calmer filtered stream. Lower values generally produce a faster, more reactive stream. Process Noise Think of this as adaptability: Higher values adapt faster to changing conditions but can get twitchy. Lower values adapt slower but stay stable. Plotting and UI (what you see on chart) 1) Adaptive line coloring Baseline turns bullish color when price is above it. Baseline turns bearish color when price is below it. This makes the state readable without extra panels. 2) Gradient “energy” fill Bull fill appears between price and baseline when above. Bear fill appears between price and baseline when below. The goal is clarity on separation and control, not decoration. 3) Rim effect A subtle band around price that only appears on the active side. Helps highlight directional control without hiding candles. 4) Candle painting (optional) Candles can be colored to match the current bias. Useful for scanning many charts quickly. Disable if you prefer raw candles. Alerts Long state alert when price is above the baseline. Short state alert when price is below the baseline. Best used as a bias or regime notification, not a standalone entry trigger. Where it fits in a workflow This is a context layer, it pairs well with: Market structure tools, BOS/MSB, OBs, FVGs. Momentum triggers that need a regime filter. Mean reversion tools that need “do not fade trends” context. Limitations No baseline eliminates chop whipsaws, tuning only manages the trade-off. Settings should not be copy pasted across assets without checking behavior. This does not forecast, it estimates and smooths state, then expresses it as a structural baseline. Disclaimer Educational and informational only, not financial advice. Not a complete trading system. If you use it in any trading workflow, do proper backtesting, forward testing, and risk management before any live execution.

Let the algorithm objectively tell you whether institutional players were accumulating, distributing, or running inducements during your trades. 🚀 Points of Innovation First indicator specifically designed for SMC-based post-trade review rather than live signal generation Dual-mode analysis system allowing both dynamic scrollback and precise date selection Expansion-aware classification algorithm that weighs range position against net displacement Real-time efficiency metrics calculating directional quality of price movement Integrated visual FVG detection within the analysis window only Interactive table with clickable date range adjustment via chart interface 🔧 Core Components Pivot Detection Engine: Uses configurable pivot length to identify significant swing highs and lows for structure break detection Window Calculator: Determines active analysis zone based on either bar offset or timestamp boundaries Data Aggregator: Tracks window open, high, low, close and counts bullish/bearish structure break events State Classification Algorithm: Applies hierarchical logic to determine market state from six possible classifications Visual Renderer: Draws structure breaks, FVG boxes, and window highlighting within the active zone 🔥 Key Features Sliding Window Mode: Use the Scroll Back slider to dynamically move your analysis zone backwards through history bar-by-bar Date Range Mode: Select specific start and end timestamps for precise session or trade review Six Market State Classifications: Parabolic Expansion (Bull/Bear), Bullish/Bearish Order Flow, Accumulation/Distribution Reversal, and Consolidation/Inducement Range Position Percentile: See exactly where price closed relative to the window’s high-low range as a percentage Bull/Bear Event Counter: Quantified count of structure breaks in each direction during the analysis period Efficiency Calculation: Net move divided by total range reveals trending quality versus chop 🎨 Visualization Blue Window Highlight: Active analysis zone is clearly marked with blue background shading on the chart Structure Break Lines: Dashed lines appear at each bullish or bearish structure break within the window FVG Boxes: Fair Value Gaps automatically render as semi-transparent boxes in bullish or bearish colors Dashboard Table: Top-right positioned table displays State, Analysis description, and Metrics in real-time Color-Coded States: Each classification uses distinct coloring for immediate visual recognition Interactive Tip Row: Optional help text guides users on clicking the table to adjust date range 📖 Usage Guidelines General Configuration Analysis Mode: Default is Sliding Window. Choose Date Range for specific timestamp analysis. Sliding Window Settings Scroll Back (Bars): Default 0. Increase to move window backwards into history. Window Width (Bars): Default 100. Range 20-50 for scalping, 100+ for swing analysis. Date Range Settings Start Date: Select the beginning timestamp for your analysis period. End Date: Select the ending timestamp for your analysis period. Visual Settings Show Help Tip: Default true. Toggle to hide instructional row in dashboard. Bullish Color: Default teal. Customize for bullish elements. Bearish Color: Default red. Customize for bearish elements. SMC Parameters Pivot Length: Default 5. Lower values (3-5) catch minor breaks. Higher values (10+) focus on major swings. ✅ Best Use Cases Post-trade review to understand why entries succeeded or failed Session analysis to identify institutional activity patterns Trade journaling with objective algorithmic classifications Pattern recognition training through historical scrollback Identifying whether stop hunts were inducements or legitimate breaks Comparing your real-time read versus what the algorithm detected ⚠️ Limitations Designed for historical analysis only, not live trade signals Classification accuracy depends on appropriate pivot length for the timeframe FVG detection uses simple gap logic without mitigation tracking State classification is based on window data only, not broader context Requires manual scrolling or date input to review different periods 💡 What Makes This Unique Purpose-Built for Review: Unlike most indicators focused on live signals, this is designed specifically for post-trade analysis Expansion-Aware Logic: Algorithm weighs both position in range AND directional efficiency for accurate state detection Interactive Date Control: Click the dashboard table to reveal draggable anchors for window adjustment directly on chart 🔬 How It Works 1. Window Definition: User selects either Sliding Window or Date Range mode System calculates which bars fall within the active analysis zone Active zone receives blue background highlighting 2. Data Collection: Algorithm captures window open, running high, running low, and current close Structure breaks are detected when price crosses above last pivot high or below last pivot low Bullish and bearish events are counted separately 3. State Classification: Range Position calculates where close sits as percentage of high-low range Efficiency calculates net move divided by total range Hierarchical logic applies priority rules from Parabolic states down to Consolidation 4. Output Rendering: Dashboard table updates with State title, Analysis description, and Metrics Visual elements render within window only to keep chart clean Colors reflect bullish, bearish, or neutral classification 💡 Note: This indicator is intended for educational and review purposes. Use it to develop your understanding of Smart Money Concepts by analyzing what institutional order flow looked like during historical periods. Combine insights with your own analysis methodology for best results.
