Momentum Regime and Confluence EngineThe Momentum Regime and Confluence Engine is a momentum-based indicator designed to help traders understand trend context, alignment, and timing—without relying on price prediction or repainting logic. Instead of telling you what to buy or sell, this tool answers three critical questions: Which timeframe is in control? Is short-term momentum aligned or counter-trend? When is momentum likely to change? 🔹 Core Concept (Simple Explanation) Markets move in cycles of momentum. This indicator visualizes those cycles across Weekly and Daily timeframes and places them into a single, easy-to-read view. Weekly momentum defines the broader market regime Daily momentum shows shorter-term pressure inside that regime Projection provides an early visual guide for potential momentum shifts 🟢🔴 Momentum Lines (%K / %D) The indicator uses two smooth momentum lines: Green line → rising momentum pressure Red line → declining momentum pressure These lines move between 0 and 100: Near 0 → downside momentum is exhausted Near 100 → upside momentum is exhausted When green is above red, momentum is improving. When red is above green, momentum is weakening. 🟥🟩 Weekly Context Background (Primary Trend) The background color represents the Weekly momentum regime: Green → Weekly bullish context Red → Weekly bearish context Gray → Neutral / transitional phase Weekly context changes slowly by design and uses hysteresis logic, meaning it will not flip back and forth near a crossover. Momentum must prove itself before the regime changes. This helps reduce false signals and whipsaws. 🟢🔴 Daily Context Overlay (Timing Layer) A lighter background overlay shows Daily momentum context: Reacts faster than the weekly layer Can temporarily move against the weekly trend Highlights pullbacks, relief rallies, and short-term shifts Examples: Weekly red + Daily green → short-term bounce in a downtrend Weekly green + Daily red → pullback in an uptrend 📈 Projection & “Projected Cross” The indicator includes an optional momentum projection: It analyzes a historical momentum pattern Maps that behavior forward in time Displays a projected path for the momentum lines A “Projected Cross” label marks where a momentum crossover is likely to occur if similar conditions repeat. Projections are scenarios, not guarantees. They are intended as early awareness, not signals. 🏷 Weekly Context Tag A small on-screen tag displays the current Weekly regime: W Context: Bull W Context: Bear W Context: Neutral This provides quick confirmation without needing to interpret colors alone. 🧭 How to Use This Indicator Start with the Weekly background Identify the dominant market regime. Check the Daily overlay Look for alignment or counter-trend behavior. Watch for projected momentum shifts Prepare for volatility or transition. Use price for confirmation Momentum often shifts before price reacts. ✅ Best Use Cases Identifying trend regime and momentum bias Avoiding trades against higher-timeframe pressure Timing pullbacks and momentum reversals Staying objective during market noise ⚠️ Important Notes This indicator does not predict price It does not generate buy/sell signals It is a context and timing tool, not a standalone strategy Final Thought The Momentum Regime and Confluence Engine is designed to help traders see who is in control, who is pushing back, and when momentum is likely to change—before price makes it obvious.

SubsCribe @pricevolumetradersSubsCribe www.youtube.com is a multi-engine discretionary trading framework, not a single strategy. It combines: Market structure & Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Adaptive trend-based Fibonacci extensions Diagonal + horizontal support/resistance Volume-confirmed pivots ATR-adaptive logic Session-style FRVP (daily VWAP reset) Entry intent dashboard (state machine) This is closer to a trading system visualizer than a buy/sell indicator. 2. Architectural Breakdown (Modules) A. Pivot Engine (Foundation Layer) You implemented six pivot detection modes: Mode Logic Standard ta.pivothigh / pivotlow Volume Based Pivot + volume expansion Swing Points Micro HH / LL logic Fractal 5-bar fractal Long Wick Wick dominance ≥ 60% ATR Based Displacement relative to ATR Strength Extremely flexible Volume-based pivots are a strong professional touch Risk Mixing pivot types with downstream logic (trendlines, fibs, S/R) can cause context mismatch One pivot engine feeds too many systems B. Pivot Memory System (Arrays) You store: phPrices / phBars plPrices / plBars capped at 30 This enables: Trendlines S/R clustering Fib swing detection Correctly implemented. No repainting here once pivots are confirmed. 3. Horizontal Support & Resistance Engine How It Works Every swing high/low tries to merge into an existing level using tolerance % Tracks: Touch count Volume score Sorts by touch strength Draws top N levels This is GOOD logic. Strengths Volume-weighted S/R (rare in public scripts) Adaptive clustering instead of fixed levels Weakness Levels are not trend-aware No invalidation logic (levels never decay) 4. Diagonal Trendline Engine Logic Summary Uses recent pivot highs for resistance Uses recent pivot lows for support Counts how many pivots touch a projected line Chooses the line with max touches This is algorithmic trendline fitting, not naive drawing. Very solid implementation. Risk High computational cost Trendlines redraw every last bar (acceptable but heavy) 5. Fibonacci Engine (Most Complex Part) Data Source Uses request.security() on a higher timeframe EMA + HH/HL logic for trend detection Separate swing arrays for HTF Trend Detection Options EMA cross Higher Highs / Higher Lows (preferred) Manual override Fib Point Logic (Critical) You correctly identify: Point Meaning P1 Trend start P2 Impulse end P3 Retracement end (last touch) This is proper institutional fib logic, not retail retracement drawing. Extensions 61.8 → 423.6 ATR-adaptive impulse scaling Zone fill between 127.2 – 161.8 (high-probability area) This is the strongest part of your script. Weakness Fib validity depends heavily on swing array quality If pivots are noisy → fib disappears No fallback logic if structure is unclear 6. Signal Probability Engine (Non-SME) This part computes bias probability, not entries: Inputs: EMA trend RSI extremes Horizontal S/R proximity Output: longProb, shortProb Important: These signals are disabled by default (showSignals = false) and are secondary, not core logic. This is fine. 7. High-Volume Base Candle Logic Conditions Small body (≤ X% of range) Volume ≥ MA × multiplier These candles are: Highlighted yellow Used later in wick-rejection logic This is a Wyckoff-style absorption detector. Correctly implemented. 8. 65% Wick Rejection Module Logic: Works ONLY on yellow (high-volume base) candles Upper wick dominance → LONG Lower wick dominance → SHORT Conceptually inverted from standard retail logic — this matches liquidity grab rejection. This module is self-contained and correct. 9. Smart Money Engine (SME) – Core System This is a state machine, not just conditions. Components a) Structure (BOS) Pivot-based ATR-filtered b) Liquidity Sweep High/low taken Close back inside ATR displacement Volume expansion c) AMD Phases Accumulation Manipulation Distribution Transitions are logical and realistic. d) FRVP Daily reset VWAP (price-volume) Used as mean reference e) iFVG Zones Displacement candle Volume expansion BOS confirmation Box projected forward This is very strong institutional logic. 10. Entry Intent vs Entry Trigger (Important) You separated: Entry Intent sme_entryIntent = not sme_tradeAllowed ? "WAIT" : sme_bias=="BULLISH" ? "LONG" : sme_bias=="BEARISH" ? "SHORT" : "WAIT" Entry Trigger sme_longEntry = intent == LONG + price reaction into bull zone sme_shortEntry = intent == SHORT + price reaction into bear zone Final State sme_entryState := LONG / SHORT / WAIT This is exactly how professional systems are designed. 11. Dashboard Dashboard correctly reflects: Phase Bias Structure Liquidity Trade permission Entry intent No repainting issue here. 12. Critical Issues / Risks 1. Over-Coupling One pivot engine feeds: Trendlines S/R Fib SME BOS If pivot quality degrades → everything degrades. 2. No Session Context Liquidity logic is global, not session-aware (London/NY). 3. No Risk Management Layer No: Stop logic Target mapping R:R visualization 4. Performance Cost This script is heavy: Multiple arrays Nested loops Security calls On lower TFs, TradingView may throttle. 13. Verdict Technical Quality: 8.5 / 10 Conceptual Quality: 9 / 10 Retail-Trap Risk: Low Professional Alignment: High This is not a beginner indicator. This is a framework that requires user discretion.

ORB Breakout Strategy with VWAP and Volume FiltersOverview This strategy implements the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) methodology, a well-documented approach in trading literature that has been used by institutional and retail traders for decades. The strategy identifies the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session, then trades breakouts with defined risk management. This implementation includes multiple customizable filters (VWAP, Volume, Candle Strength) that traders can enable, disable, and tune to find configurations that work for their specific markets and trading style. How It Works Opening Range Calculation The strategy captures the high and low of the first N bars after the session open (default: 3 bars on a 5-minute chart = 15 minutes). These levels become the breakout triggers for the session. Entry Logic Long Entry: When a bar closes above the ORB High and all enabled filters pass Short Entry: When a bar closes below the ORB Low and all enabled filters pass Exit Logic Take Profit: Configurable multiple of the ORB range (default: 1x = full range beyond breakout level) Stop Loss: Opposite side of the ORB range Breakeven: Optional stop adjustment to entry price when trade reaches configurable profit threshold Session Close: All positions automatically closed at end of trading session Configurable Filters All filters can be independently enabled or disabled: 1. VWAP Filter Requires price above/below session-anchored VWAP Requires VWAP slope confirmation (configurable lookback and minimum slope) Purpose: Align trades with intraday trend direction 2. Volume Filter Requires minimum volume on the breakout bar Purpose: Confirm institutional participation in the breakout 3. Candle Strength Filter Requires close in upper/lower portion of the bar range Purpose: Filter out weak breakouts with poor conviction Strategy Properties Initial Capital - $50.000USD Position Size - 1 contract (fixed) Commission - $4.00 per contract Slippage - 2 ticks Margin - 1% Pyramiding - Disabled Backtest Results (NQ) Recent Performance (Jan 2025 - Jan 2026) Total Trades - 243 Win Rate - 39.09% Profit Factor - 1.03 Net P&L - $3,581 (+7.16%) Max Drawdown - $25,447 (39.96%) Long-Term Performance (2010 - 2026) Total Trades - 1699 Win Rate - 37.61% Profit Factor - 0.756 Net P&L - ($49,632) (-99.26%) Max Drawdown - $50,262 (99.27%) Important: Long-term results show negative expectancy with default settings. This strategy is published as a research framework, not a ready-to-trade system. Users are encouraged to experiment with different configurations to find their edge. Settings Guide Main Settings ORB Bars: Number of bars for opening range (3 = 15 min on 5-min chart) Trading Session: Time window for trading (e.g., 0930-1200 for morning only) Timezone: Your market's timezone Take Profit: Multiple of ORB range for target Breakeven Trigger: Distance to move stop to entry Max Trades Per Day: Daily trade limit VWAP Filter Use VWAP Filter: Enable/disable VWAP Slope Lookback: Bars to measure VWAP direction Min VWAP Slope: Minimum slope threshold Volume Filter Use Volume Filter: Enable/disable Min Breakout Volume: Minimum contracts required Candle Strength Filter Use Candle Strength Filter: Enable/disable Min Candle Strength: Required close position (0.7 = top/bottom 30%) Research Suggestions This strategy provides a foundation for exploring ORB-based approaches. Consider testing: Different ORB periods: 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes Session variations: Morning only (0930-1200), afternoon, or full day Direction bias: Long-only or short-only based on daily trend Filter combinations: Different mixes of VWAP, volume, and candle filters Take profit ratios: 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, or 2x ORB range Market regimes: Performance may vary in trending vs ranging markets Different instruments: Test on ES, NQ, MNQ, or other futures Visual Elements Orange Background: ORB forming period Green Background: Active trading session Green Line: ORB High level Red Line: ORB Low level VWAP Line: Green = upslope, Red = downslope, Gray = flat White Line: Trade entry price Lime Line: Take profit level Red Line: Stop loss level Orange Line: Breakeven trigger level Blue Background: Breakeven activated Triangles: Entry signals (only appear when trade executes) Limitations Negative long-term expectancy: Default settings do not produce profitable results over extended periods Parameter sensitivity: Results highly dependent on filter settings and market conditions Market regime dependent: May perform differently in trending vs choppy markets Commission impact: Frequent trading accumulates significant transaction costs Curve fitting risk: Optimized settings may not persist in future markets Disclaimer This strategy is provided for educational and research purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results Backtested results may not reflect actual trading conditions The long-term backtest shows significant negative returns Always paper trade before risking real capital Never risk more than you can afford to lose Conduct your own research and due diligence This is a research framework designed for traders to explore and customize, not a plug-and-play trading system.

ZLT - Date and Time MarkerPine Script v5 indicator called “DateTime Marker” that overlays on the chart and marks bars whose timestamp matches a user-defined schedule. When a bar “matches,” it can draw: a vertical line through the bar, a label with a time/date string, and a triangle marker below the bar (always plotted on matches). What you can configure Marker Type (the matching rule) You choose one of five modes: Every Minute Inputs: everyNMinutes (default 15), minuteOffset (default 0) Match condition: minute % everyNMinutes == minuteOffset Example with defaults: marks bars at :00, :15, :30, :45 each hour. Hourly Inputs: everyNHours (default 4), hourlyMinute (default 0) Match condition: hour % everyNHours == 0 AND minute == hourlyMinute Example with defaults: marks bars at 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00 (at minute 00). Daily Time Inputs: dailyHour (default 10), dailyMinute (default 0) Match condition: hour == dailyHour AND minute == dailyMinute Example with defaults: marks 10:00 every day. Weekly Day & Time Inputs: weekDay (default Tuesday), weeklyHour (default 16), weeklyMinute (default 0) It converts the weekday name to Pine’s dayofweek number via getDayNumber(). Match condition: dayofweek == targetDay AND hour == weeklyHour AND minute == weeklyMinute Example with defaults: marks Tuesday 16:00. Monthly Date & Time Inputs: monthlyDay (default 2), monthlyHour (default 23), monthlyMinute (default 0) Match condition: dayofmonth == monthlyDay AND hour == monthlyHour AND minute == monthlyMinute Example with defaults: marks the 2nd day of each month at 23:00. Visual settings showLine: whether to draw the vertical line. lineStyle: Solid/Dashed/Dotted (mapped to Pine line styles by getLineStyle()). lineColor, lineWidth: styling for the line (width is rounded to an integer because Pine line width is integer). showLabel: whether to draw a label. labelColor: background color of the label (text is forced white). What happens when a bar matches When isMatch becomes true on a bar: Vertical line: line.new() at that bar’s bar_index, from low to high, extended extend.both (so it spans the full chart vertically). Label: label.new() at the bar’s high, with mode-specific text: Minute/Hourly/Daily: "HH:mm" Weekly: "Tuesday HH:mm" (or whatever day selected) Monthly: "Day 2 - HH:mm" (or chosen day) Triangle marker: plotshape() draws a triangle up below the bar on every match (this happens regardless of showLine / showLabel). Important practical implications This uses the bar’s exchange/chart time (TradingView’s time, hour, minute, etc.), so results depend on the symbol/session and chart timezone settings. On timeframes coarser than 1 minute, “Every Minute” still checks only the bar’s timestamp minute value; it won’t mark intra-bar minutes that don’t exist as separate bars. Because it can create many objects (lines/labels), it sets max_labels_count=500. Lines are not capped here, so very dense marking can still clutter the chart. If you tell me your intended use (e.g., “mark NY open,” “mark every 15m candle close,” “mark macro events weekly”), I can point out whether the current matching logic fits that precisely or needs adjustments (sessions, timezones, avoiding duplicates, limiting lines, etc.).

ADR % RangesThis indicator is designed to visually represent percentage lines from the open of the day. The % amount is determined by X amount of the last days to create an average...or Average Daily Range (ADR). 1. ADR Percentage Lines: The core function of the script is to apply lines to the chart that represent specific percentage changes from the daily open. It first calculates the average over X amount of days and then displays two lines that are 1/3rd of that average. One line goes above the other line goes below. The other two lines are the full "range" of the average. These lines can act as boundaries or targets to know how an asset has moved recently. *Past performance is not indicative of current or future results. The calculation for ADR is: Step 1. Calculate Today's Range = DailyHigh - DailyLow Step 2. Store this average after the day has completed Step 3. Sum all day's ranges Step 4. Divide by total number of days Step 5. Draw on chart 2. Customizable Inputs: Users have the flexibility to customize the script through various inputs. This includes the option to display lines only for the current trading day (`todayonly`), and to select which lines are displayed. The user can also opt to show a table the displays the total range of previous days and the average range of those previous days. 3. No Secondary Timeframe: The ADR is computed based on whatever timeframe the chart is and does not reference secondary periods. Therefore the script cannot be used on charts greater than daily. This script is can be used by all traders for any market. The trader might have to adjust the "X" number of days back to compute a historical average. Maybe they only want to know the average over the past week (5 days) or maybe the past month (20 days).

MTF 20 SMA Table - DXY**MTF 20 SMA Table - Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis Dashboard** **Overview:** This indicator provides a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis dashboard that displays the relationship between price and the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) across four key timeframes: 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and Daily. It's designed to help traders quickly identify trend alignment and potential trading opportunities across multiple timeframes at a glance. It's definitely not perfect but has helped me speed up my backtesting efforts as it's worked well for me eliminating flipping back and forth between timeframes excpet when I have confluence on the table, then I check the HTF. **How It Works:** The indicator creates a table overlay on your chart showing three critical metrics for each timeframe: 1. **Price vs SMA (Row 1):** Shows whether price is currently above (bullish) or below (bearish) the 20 SMA - Green = Price Above SMA - Red = Price Below SMA 2. **SMA Direction (Row 2):** Indicates the trend direction of the SMA itself over a lookback period - Green (↗ Rising) = Uptrend - Red (↘ Falling) = Downtrend - Gray (→ Flat) = Ranging/Consolidation 3. **Strength (Row 3):** Displays the distance between current price and the SMA in pips - Purple background = Strong move (>50 pips away) - Orange background = Moderate move (20-50 pips) - Gray background = Weak/consolidating (<20 pips) - Text color: Green for positive distance, Red for negative **Key Features:** - **Customizable Table Position:** Place the table anywhere on your chart (9 position options) - **Adjustable SMA Lengths:** Modify the SMA period for each timeframe independently (default: 20) - **Direction Lookback Settings:** Fine-tune how far back the indicator looks to determine SMA direction for each timeframe - **Flat Threshold:** Set the pip threshold for determining when an SMA is "flat" vs trending (default: 5 pips) - **DXY Optimized:** Calculations are calibrated for the US Dollar Index (1 pip = 0.01) **Best Use Cases:** 1. **Trend Alignment:** Identify when multiple timeframes align in the same direction for higher probability trades 2. **Divergence Spotting:** Detect when lower timeframes diverge from higher timeframes (potential reversals) 3. **Entry Timing:** Use lower timeframe signals while higher timeframes confirm overall trend 4. **Strength Assessment:** Gauge how extended price is from the mean (SMA) to avoid overextended entries **Settings Guide:** - **SMA Settings Group:** Adjust the SMA period for each timeframe (15M, 1H, 4H, Daily) - **SMA Direction Group:** Control lookback periods to determine trend direction - 15M: Default 5 candles - 1H: Default 10 candles - 4H: Default 15 candles - Daily: Default 20 candles - **Flat Threshold:** Set sensitivity for "flat" detection (lower = more sensitive to ranging markets) **Trading Strategy Examples:** 1. **Trend Following:** Look for all timeframes showing the same direction (all green or all red) 2. **Pullback Trading:** When Daily/4H are green but 15M/1H show red, wait for lower timeframes to flip green for entry 3. **Ranging Markets:** When multiple SMAs show "flat", consider range-bound strategies **Important Notes:** - This is a reference tool only, not a standalone trading system - Always use proper risk management and combine with other analysis methods - Best suited for trending instruments like indices and major forex pairs - Calculations are optimized for DXY but can be used on other instruments (pip calculations may need adjustment) **Credits:** Feel free to modify and improve this code! Suggestions for enhancements are welcome in the comments. --- **Installation Instructions:** 1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart 2. Adjust the table position via settings to avoid overlap with price action 3. Customize SMA lengths and lookback periods to match your trading style 4. Monitor the table for timeframe alignment and trend confirmation --- This indicator is published as open source for the community to learn from and improve upon. Happy trading! 📈

BTC Backwardation SearcherThis Pine Script code is a custom indicator named "BTC Backwardation Searcher" designed for the TradingView platform. The indicator aims to identify and visualize the price difference between two Bitcoin futures contracts: CME:BTC1! and CME:BTC2!. Here's a breakdown of the code: 1. The script fetches the daily close prices of CME:BTC1! and CME:BTC2! using the security() function. 2. It calculates the percentage price difference between the two contracts using the formula: (btc1Price - btc2Price) / btc2Price * 100. 3. The script also calculates the price difference for the previous two days (2 days ago and 3 days ago) using the same formula. 4. Two conditions are defined: (1) dailyGreenCondition: If the price difference is greater than or equal to 0.3% for three consecutive days, including the current day and the previous two days. (2) dailyRedCondition(commented): If the price difference is less than or equal to -1% for three consecutive days, including the current day and the previous two days. (I commented it out because I don't think it's useful.) 5. The plotshape() function is used to display green triangles on the chart when the dailyGreenCondition is met, and red triangles when the dailyRedCondition is met. These triangles are displayed on the daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. The purpose of this indicator is to help traders identify potential trading opportunities based on the price difference between the two Bitcoin futures contracts. The green triangles suggest a bullish scenario where CME:BTC1! is significantly higher than CME:BTC2!, while the red triangles indicate a bearish scenario where CME:BTC2! is significantly lower than CME:BTC1!. However, it's important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis. Traders should also consider their risk tolerance, investment goals, and market conditions before making any trading decisions based on this indicator.

HTF Current/Average RangeThe "HTF(Higher Timeframe) Current/Average Range" indicator calculates and displays the current and average price ranges across multiple timeframes, including daily, weekly, monthly, 4 hour, and user-defined custom timeframes. Users can customize the lookback period, table size, timeframe, and font color; with the indicator efficiently updating on the final bar to optimize performance. When the current range surpasses the average range for a given timeframe, the corresponding table cell is highlighted in green, indicating potential maximum price expansion and signaling the possibility of an impending retracement or consolidation. For day trading strategies, the daily average range can serve as a guide, allowing traders to hold positions until the current daily range approaches or meets the average range, at which point exiting the trade may be considered. For scalping strategies, the 15min and 5min average range can be utilized to determine optimal holding periods for fast trades. Other strategies: Intraday Trading - 1h and 4h Average Range Swing Trading - Monthly Average Range Short-term Trading - Weekly Average Range Also using these statistics in accordance with Power 3 ICT concepts, will assist in holding trades to their statistical average range of the chosen HTF candle. CODE The core functionality lies in the data retrieval and table population sections. The request.security function (e.g., = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", , lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off)) retrieves high and low prices from specified timeframes without lookahead bias, ensuring accurate historical data. These values are used to compute current ranges and average ranges (ta.sma(high - low, avgLength)), which are then displayed in a dynamically generated table starting at (if barstate.islast) using table.new, with conditional green highlighting when the current range is greater than average range, providing a clear visual cue for volatility analysis.

Luxy Super-Duper SuperTrend Predictor Engine and Buy/Sell signalA professional trend-following grading system that analyzes historical trend patterns to provide statistical duration estimates using advanced similarity matching and k-nearest neighbors analysis. Combines adaptive Supertrend with intelligent duration statistics, multi-timeframe confluence, volume confirmation, and quality scoring to identify high-probability setups with data-driven target ranges across all timeframes. Note: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical data, not guarantees of future performance. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT Unlike traditional SuperTrend indicators that only tell you trend direction, this system answers the critical question: "What is the typical duration for trends like this?" The Statistical Analysis Engine: • Analyzes your chart's last 15+ completed SuperTrend trends (bullish and bearish separately) • Uses k-nearest neighbors similarity matching to find historically similar setups • Calculates statistical duration estimates based on current market conditions • Learns from estimation errors and adapts over time (Advanced mode) • Displays visual duration analysis box showing median, average, and range estimates • Tracks Statistical accuracy with backtest statistics Complete Trading System: • Statistical trend duration analysis with three intelligence levels • Adaptive Supertrend with dynamic ATR-based bands • Multi-timeframe confluence analysis (6 timeframes: 5M to 1W) • Volume confirmation with spike detection and momentum tracking • Quality scoring system (0-70 points) rating each setup • One-click preset optimization for all trading styles • Anti-repaint guarantee on all signals and duration estimates METHODOLOGY CREDITS This indicator's approach is inspired by proven trading methodologies from respected market educators: • Mark Minervini - Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) and pullback entry techniques • William O'Neil - Volume confirmation principles and institutional buying patterns (CANSLIM methodology) • Dan Zanger - Volatility expansion entries and momentum breakout strategies Important: These are educational references only. This indicator does not guarantee any specific trading results. Always conduct your own analysis and risk management. KEY FEATURES 1. TREND DURATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM - The Core Innovation The statistical analysis engine is what sets this indicator apart from standard SuperTrend systems. It doesn't just identify trend changes - it provides statistical analysis of potential duration. How It Works: Step 1: Historical Tracking • Automatically records every completed SuperTrend trend (duration in bars) • Maintains separate databases for bullish trends and bearish trends • Stores up to 15 most recent trends of each type • Captures market conditions at each trend flip: volume ratio, ATR ratio, quality score, price distance from SuperTrend, proximity to support/resistance Step 2: Similarity Matching (k-Nearest Neighbors) • When new trend begins, system compares current conditions to ALL historical flips • Calculates similarity score based on: - Volume similarity (30% weight) - Is volume behaving similarly? - Volatility similarity (30% weight) - Is ATR/volatility similar? - Quality similarity (20% weight) - Is setup strength comparable? - Distance similarity (10% weight) - Is price distance from ST similar? - Support/Resistance proximity (10% weight) - Similar structural context? • Selects the 15 MOST SIMILAR historical trends (not just all trends) • This is like asking: "When conditions looked like this before, how long did trends last?" Step 3: Statistical Analysis • Calculates median duration (most common outcome) • Calculates average duration (mean of similar trends) • Determines realistic range (min to max of similar trends) • Applies exponential weighting (recent trends weighted more heavily) • Outputs confidence-weighted statistical estimate Step 4: Advanced Intelligence (Advanced Mode Only) The Advanced mode applies five sophisticated multipliers to refine estimates: A) Market Structure Multiplier (±30%): • Detects nearby support/resistance levels using pivot detection • If flip occurs NEAR a key level: Estimate adjusted -30% (expect bounce/rejection) • If flip occurs in open space: Estimate adjusted +30% (clear path for continuation) • Uses configurable lookback period and ATR-based proximity threshold B) Asset Type Multiplier (±40%): • Adjusts duration estimates based on asset volatility characteristics • Small Cap / Biotech: +40% (explosive, extended moves) • Tech Growth: +20% (momentum-driven, longer trends) • Blue Chip / Large Cap: 0% (baseline, steady trends) • Dividend / Value: -20% (slower, grinding trends) • Cyclical: Variable based on macro regime • Crypto / High Volatility: +30% (parabolic potential) C) Flip Strength Multiplier (±20%): • Analyzes the QUALITY of the trend flip itself • Strong flip (high volume + expanding ATR + quality score 60+): +20% • Weak flip (low volume + contracting ATR + quality score under 40): -20% • Logic: Historical data shows that powerful flips tend to be followed by longer trends D) Error Learning Multiplier (±15%): • Tracks Statistical accuracy over last 10 completed trends • Calculates error ratio: (estimated duration / Actual Duration) • If system consistently over-estimates: Apply -15% correction • If system consistently under-estimates: Apply +15% correction • Learns and adapts to current market regime E) Regime Detection Multiplier (±20%): • Analyzes last 3 trends of SAME TYPE (bull-to-bull or bear-to-bear) • Compares recent trend durations to historical average • If recent trends 20%+ longer than average: +20% adjustment (trending regime detected) • If recent trends 20%+ shorter than average: -20% adjustment (choppy regime detected) • Detects whether market is in trending or mean-reversion mode Three analysis modes: SIMPLE MODE - Basic Statistics • Uses raw median of similar trends only • No multipliers, no adjustments • Best for: Beginners, clean trending markets • Fastest calculations, minimal complexity STANDARD MODE - Full Statistical Analysis • Similarity matching with k-nearest neighbors • Exponential weighting of recent trends • Median, average, and range calculations • Best for: Most traders, general market conditions • Balance of accuracy and simplicity ADVANCED MODE - Statistics + Intelligence • Everything in Standard mode PLUS • All 5 advanced multipliers (structure, asset type, flip strength, learning, regime) • Highest Statistical accuracy in testing • Best for: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets • Maximum intelligence, most adaptive Visual Duration Analysis Box: When a new trend begins (SuperTrend flip), a box appears on your chart showing: • Analysis Mode (Simple / Standard / Advanced) • Number of historical trends analyzed • Median expected duration (most likely outcome) • Average expected duration (mean of similar trends) • Range (minimum to maximum from similar trends) • Advanced multipliers breakdown (Advanced mode only) • Backtest accuracy statistics (if available) The box extends from the flip bar to the estimated endpoint based on historical data, giving you a visual target for trend duration. Box updates in real-time as trend progresses. Backtest & Accuracy Tracking: • System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data • Shows accuracy metrics: how well duration estimates matched actual durations • Tracks last 10 completed duration estimates separately • Displays statistics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes • Helps you understand statistical reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe Anti-Repaint Guarantee: • duration analysis boxes only appear AFTER bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) • Historical duration estimates never disappear or change • What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen real-time • No future data leakage, no lookahead bias 2. INTELLIGENT PRESET CONFIGURATIONS - One-Click Optimization Unlike indicators that require tedious parameter tweaking, this system includes professionally optimized presets for every trading style. Select your approach from the dropdown and ALL parameters auto-configure. "AUTO (DETECT FROM TF)" - RECOMMENDED The smartest option: automatically selects optimal settings based on your chart timeframe. • 1m-5m charts → Scalping preset (ATR: 7, Mult: 2.0) • 15m-1h charts → Day Trading preset (ATR: 10, Mult: 2.5) • 2h-4h-D charts → Swing Trading preset (ATR: 14, Mult: 3.0) • W-M charts → Position Trading preset (ATR: 21, Mult: 4.0) Benefits: • Zero configuration - works immediately • Always matched to your timeframe • Switch timeframe = automatic adjustment • Perfect for traders who use multiple timeframes "SCALPING (1-5M)" - Ultra-Fast Signals Optimized for: 1-5 minute charts, high-frequency trading, quick profits Target holding period: Minutes to 1-2 hours maximum Best markets: High-volume stocks, major crypto pairs, active futures Parameter Configuration: • Supertrend: ATR 7, Multiplier 2.0 (very sensitive) • Volume: MA 10, High 1.8x, Spike 3.0x (catches quick surges) • Volume Momentum: AUTO-DISABLED (too restrictive for fast scalping) • Quality minimum: 40 points (accepts more setups) • Duration Analysis: Uses last 15 trends with heavy recent weighting Trading Logic: Speed over precision. Short ATR period and low multiplier create highly responsive SuperTrend. Volume momentum filter disabled to avoid missing fast moves. Quality threshold relaxed to catch more opportunities in rapid market conditions. Signals per session: 5-15 typically Hold time: Minutes to couple hours Best for: Active traders with fast execution "DAY TRADING (15M-1H)" - Balanced Approach Optimized for: 15-minute to 1-hour charts, intraday moves, session-based trading Target holding period: 30 minutes to 8 hours (within trading day) Best markets: Large-cap stocks, major indices, established crypto Parameter Configuration: • Supertrend: ATR 10, Multiplier 2.5 (balanced) • Volume: MA 20, High 1.5x, Spike 2.5x (standard detection) • Volume Momentum: 5/20 periods (confirms intraday strength) • Quality minimum: 50 points (good setups preferred) • Duration Analysis: Balanced weighting of recent vs historical Trading Logic: The most balanced configuration. ATR 10 with multiplier 2.5 provides steady trend following that avoids noise while catching meaningful moves. Volume momentum confirms institutional participation without being overly restrictive. Signals per session: 2-5 typically Hold time: 30 minutes to full day Best for: Part-time and full-time active traders "SWING TRADING (4H-D)" - Trend Stability Optimized for: 4-hour to Daily charts, multi-day holds, trend continuation Target holding period: 2-15 days typically Best markets: Growth stocks, sector ETFs, trending crypto, commodity futures Parameter Configuration: • Supertrend: ATR 14, Multiplier 3.0 (stable) • Volume: MA 30, High 1.3x, Spike 2.2x (accumulation focus) • Volume Momentum: 10/30 periods (trend stability) • Quality minimum: 60 points (high-quality setups only) • Duration Analysis: Favors consistent historical patterns Trading Logic: Designed for substantial trend moves while filtering short-term noise. Higher ATR period and multiplier create stable SuperTrend that won't flip on minor corrections. Stricter quality requirements ensure only strongest setups generate signals. Signals per week: 2-5 typically Hold time: Days to couple weeks Best for: Part-time traders, swing style "POSITION TRADING (D-W)" - Long-Term Trends Optimized for: Daily to Weekly charts, major trend changes, portfolio allocation Target holding period: Weeks to months Best markets: Blue-chip stocks, major indices, established cryptocurrencies Parameter Configuration: • Supertrend: ATR 21, Multiplier 4.0 (very stable) • Volume: MA 50, High 1.2x, Spike 2.0x (long-term accumulation) • Volume Momentum: 20/50 periods (major trend confirmation) • Quality minimum: 70 points (excellent setups only) • Duration Analysis: Heavy emphasis on multi-year historical data Trading Logic: Conservative approach focusing on major trend changes. Extended ATR period and high multiplier create SuperTrend that only flips on significant reversals. Very strict quality filters ensure signals represent genuine long-term opportunities. Signals per month: 1-2 typically Hold time: Weeks to months Best for: Long-term investors, set-and-forget approach "CUSTOM" - Advanced Configuration Purpose: Complete manual control for experienced traders Use when: You understand the parameters and want specific optimization Best for: Testing new approaches, unusual market conditions, specific instruments Full control over: • All SuperTrend parameters • Volume thresholds and momentum periods • Quality scoring weights • analysis mode and multipliers • Advanced features tuning Preset Comparison Quick Reference: Chart Timeframe: Scalping (1M-5M) | Day Trading (15M-1H) | Swing (4H-D) | Position (D-W) Signals Frequency: Very High | High | Medium | Low Hold Duration: Minutes | Hours | Days | Weeks-Months Quality Threshold: 40 pts | 50 pts | 60 pts | 70 pts ATR Sensitivity: Highest | Medium | Lower | Lowest Time Investment: Highest | High | Medium | Lowest Experience Level: Expert | Advanced | Intermediate | Beginner+ 3. QUALITY SCORING SYSTEM (0-70 Points) Every signal is rated in real-time across three dimensions: Volume Confirmation (0-30 points): • Volume Spike (2.5x+ average): 30 points • High Volume (1.5x+ average): 20 points • Above Average (1.0x+ average): 10 points • Below Average: 0 points Volatility Assessment (0-30 points): • Expanding ATR (1.2x+ average): 30 points • Rising ATR (1.0-1.2x average): 15 points • Contracting/Stable ATR: 0 points Volume Momentum (0-10 points): • Strong Momentum (1.2x+ ratio): 10 points • Rising Momentum (1.0-1.2x ratio): 5 points • Weak/Neutral Momentum: 0 points Score Interpretation: 60-70 points - EXCELLENT: • All factors aligned • High conviction setup • Maximum position size (within risk limits) • Primary trading opportunities 45-59 points - STRONG: • Multiple confirmations present • Above-average setup quality • Standard position size • Good trading opportunities 30-44 points - GOOD: • Basic confirmations met • Acceptable setup quality • Reduced position size • Wait for additional confirmation or trade smaller Below 30 points - WEAK: • Minimal confirmations • Low probability setup • Consider passing • Only for aggressive traders in strong trends Only signals meeting your minimum quality threshold (configurable per preset) generate alerts and labels. 4. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS The system can simultaneously analyze trend alignment across 6 timeframes (optional feature): Timeframes analyzed: • 5-minute (scalping context) • 15-minute (intraday momentum) • 1-hour (day trading bias) • 4-hour (swing context) • Daily (primary trend) • Weekly (macro trend) Confluence Interpretation: • 5-6/6 aligned - Very strong multi-timeframe agreement (highest confidence) • 3-4/6 aligned - Moderate agreement (standard setup) • 1-2/6 aligned - Weak agreement (caution advised) Dashboard shows real-time alignment count with color-coding. Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends. 5. VOLUME MOMENTUM FILTER - Institutional Money Flow Unlike traditional volume indicators that just measure size, Volume Momentum tracks the RATE OF CHANGE in volume: How it works: • Compares short-term volume average (fast period) to long-term average (slow period) • Ratio above 1.0 = Volume accelerating (money flowing IN) • Ratio above 1.2 = Strong acceleration (institutional participation likely) • Ratio below 0.8 = Volume decelerating (money flowing OUT) Why it matters: • Confirms trend with actual money flow, not just price • Leading indicator (volume often leads price) • Catches accumulation/distribution before breakouts • More intuitive than complex mathematical filters Integration with signals: • Optional filter - can be enabled/disabled per preset • When enabled: Only signals with rising volume momentum fire • AUTO-DISABLED in Scalping mode (too restrictive for fast trading) • Configurable fast/slow periods per trading style 6. ADAPTIVE SUPERTREND MULTIPLIER Traditional SuperTrend uses fixed ATR multiplier. This system dynamically adjusts the multiplier (0.8x to 1.2x base) based on: • Trend Strength: Price correlation over lookback period • Volume Weight: Current volume relative to average Benefits: • Tighter bands in calm markets (less premature exits) • Wider bands in volatile conditions (avoids whipsaws) • Better adaptation to biotech, small-cap, and crypto volatility • Optional - can be disabled for classic constant multiplier 7. VISUAL GRADIENT RIBBON 26-layer exponential gradient fill between price and SuperTrend line provides instant visual trend strength assessment: Color System: • Green shades - Bullish trend + volume confirmation (strongest) • Blue shades - Bullish trend, normal volume • Orange shades - Bearish trend + volume confirmation • Red shades - Bearish trend (weakest) Opacity varies based on: • Distance from SuperTrend (farther = more opaque) • Volume intensity (higher volume = stronger color) The ribbon provides at-a-glance trend strength without cluttering your chart. Can be toggled on/off. 8. INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM Two-tier alert architecture for flexibility: Automatic Alerts: • Fire automatically on BUY and SELL signals • Include full context: quality score, volume state, volume momentum • One alert per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close) • Message format: "BUY: Supertrend bullish + Quality: 65/70 | Volume: HIGH | Vol Momentum: STRONG (1.35x)" Customizable Alert Conditions: • Appear in TradingView's "Create Alert" dialog • Three options: BUY Signal Only, SELL Signal Only, ANY Signal (BUY or SELL) • Use TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{interval}}, {{close}}, {{time}} • Fully customizable message templates All alerts use barstate.isconfirmed - Zero repaint guarantee. 9. ANTI-REPAINT ARCHITECTURE Every component guaranteed non-repainting: • Entry signals: Only appear after bar close • duration analysis boxes: Created only on confirmed SuperTrend flips • Informative labels: Wait for bar confirmation • Alerts: Fire once per closed bar • Multi-timeframe data: Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. No disappearing signals, no changed duration estimates.

Trade Filtering: For higher win-rate (fewer trades, better quality): • Increase minimum quality score (try 60 for swing, 50 for day trading) • Enable volume momentum filter (ensure institutional participation) • Require higher MTF confluence (5-6/6 alignment) • Use Advanced analysis mode with appropriate asset type For more opportunities (more trades, lower quality threshold): • Decrease minimum quality score (40 for day trading, 35 for scalping) • Disable volume momentum filter • Lower MTF confluence requirement • Use Simple or Standard analysis mode SETTINGS OVERVIEW Quick Setup Section: • Trading Style Preset: Auto / Scalping / Day Trading / Swing / Position / Custom Dashboard & Display: • Show Dashboard (ON/OFF) • Dashboard Position (9 options: Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right) • Text Size (Auto/Tiny/Small/Normal/Large/Huge) • Show Ribbon Fill (ON/OFF) • Show SuperTrend Line (ON/OFF) • Bullish Color (default: Green) • Bearish Color (default: Red) • Show Entry Labels - BUY/SELL signals (ON/OFF) • Show Info Labels - Volume events (ON/OFF) • Label Size (Auto/Tiny/Small/Normal/Large/Huge) Supertrend Configuration: • ATR Length (default varies by preset: 7-21) • ATR Multiplier Base (default varies by preset: 2.0-4.0) • Use Adaptive Multiplier (ON/OFF) - Dynamic 0.8x-1.2x adjustment • Smoothing Factor (0.0-0.5) - EMA smoothing applied to bands • Neutral Bars After Flip (0-10) - Hide ST immediately after flip Volume Momentum: • Enable Volume Momentum Filter (ON/OFF) • Fast Period (default varies by preset: 3-20) • Slow Period (default varies by preset: 10-50) Volume Analysis: • Volume MA Length (default varies by preset: 10-50) • High Volume Threshold (default: 1.5x) • Spike Threshold (default: 2.5x) • Low Volume Threshold (default: 0.7x) Quality Filters: • Minimum Quality Score (0-70, varies by preset) • Require Volume Confirmation (ON/OFF) Trend Duration Analysis: • Show Duration Analysis (ON/OFF) - Display duration analysis boxes • analysis mode - Simple / Standard / Advanced • Asset Type - 7 options (Small Cap, Biotech, Blue Chip, Tech Growth, Dividend, Cyclical, Crypto) • Use Exponential Weighting (ON/OFF) - Recent trends weighted more • Decay Factor (0.5-0.99) - How much more recent trends matter • Structure Lookback (3-30) - Pivot detection period for support/resistance • Proximity Threshold (xATR) - How close to level qualifies as "near" • Enable Error Learning (ON/OFF) - System learns from estimation errors • Memory Depth (3-20) - How many past errors to remember Box Visual Settings: • duration analysis box Border Color • duration analysis box Background Color • duration analysis box Text Color • duration analysis box Border Width • duration analysis box Transparency Multi-Timeframe (Optional Feature): • Enable MTF Confluence (ON/OFF) • Minimum Alignment Required (0-6) • Individual timeframe enable/disable toggles • Custom timeframe selection options All preset configurations override manual inputs except when "Custom" is selected. ADVANCED FEATURES 1. Scalpel Mode (Optional) Advanced pullback entry system that waits for healthy retracements within established trends before signaling entry: • Monitors price distance from SuperTrend levels • Requires pullback to configurable range (default: 30-50%) • Ensures trend remains intact before entry signal • Reduces whipsaw and false breakouts • Inspired by Mark Minervini's VCP pullback entries Best for: Swing traders and day traders seeking precision entries Scalpers: Consider disabling for faster entries 2. Error Learning System (Advanced analysis mode Only) The system learns from its own estimation errors: • Tracks last 10-20 completed duration estimates (configurable memory depth) • Calculates error ratio for each: estimated duration / Actual Duration • If system consistently over-estimates: Applies negative correction (-15%) • If system consistently under-estimates: Applies positive correction (+15%) • Adapts to current market regime automatically This self-correction mechanism improves accuracy over time as the system gathers more data on your specific symbol and timeframe. 3. Regime Detection (Advanced analysis mode Only) Automatically detects whether market is in trending or choppy regime: • Compares last 3 trends to historical average • Recent trends 20%+ longer → Trending regime (+20% to estimates) • Recent trends 20%+ shorter → Choppy regime (-20% to estimates) • Applied separately to bullish and bearish trends Helps duration estimates adapt to changing market conditions without manual intervention. 4. Exponential Weighting Option to weight recent trends more heavily than distant history: • Default decay factor: 0.9 • Recent trends get higher weight in statistical calculations • Older trends gradually decay in importance • Rationale: Recent market behavior more relevant than old data • Can be disabled for equal weighting 5. Backtest Statistics System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data: • Walks through past trends chronologically • Calculates what duration estimate WOULD have been at each flip • Compares to actual duration that occurred • Displays accuracy metrics in duration analysis boxes and dashboard • Helps assess statistical reliability on your specific chart Note: Backtest uses only data available AT THE TIME of each historical flip (no lookahead bias). TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS • Pine Script Version: v6 • Indicator Type: Overlay (draws on price chart) • Max Boxes: 500 (for duration analysis box storage) • Max Bars Back: 5000 (for comprehensive historical analysis) • Security Calls: 1 (for MTF if enabled - optimized) • Repainting: NO - All signals and duration estimates confirmed on bar close • Lookahead Bias: NO - All HTF data properly offset, all duration estimates use only historical data • Real-time Updates: YES - Dashboard and quality scores update live • Alert Capable: YES - Both automatic alerts and customizable alert conditions • Multi-Symbol: Works on stocks, crypto, forex, futures, indices Performance Optimization: • Conditional calculations (duration analysis can be disabled to reduce load) • Efficient array management (circular buffers for trend storage) • Streamlined gradient rendering (26 layers, can be toggled off) • Smart label cooldown system (prevents label spam) • Optimized similarity matching (analyzes only relevant trends) Data Requirements: • Minimum 50-100 bars for initial duration analysis (builds historical database) • Optimal: 500+ bars for robust statistical analysis • Longer history = more accurate duration estimates • Works on any timeframe from 1 minute to monthly KNOWN LIMITATIONS • Trending Markets Only: Performs best in clear trends. May generate false signals in choppy/sideways markets (use quality score filtering and regime detection to mitigate) • Lagging Nature: Like all trend-following systems, signals occur AFTER trend establishment, not at exact tops/bottoms. Use duration analysis boxes to set realistic profit targets. • Initial Learning Period: Duration analysis system requires 10-15 completed trends to build reliable historical database. Early duration estimates less accurate (first few weeks on new symbol/timeframe). • Visual Load: 26-layer gradient ribbon may slow performance on older devices. Disable ribbon if experiencing lag. • Statistical accuracy Variables: Duration estimates are statistical estimates, not guarantees. Accuracy varies by: - Market regime (trending vs choppy) - Asset volatility characteristics - Quality of historical pattern matches - Timeframe traded (higher TF = more reliable) • Not Best Suitable For: - Ultra-short-term scalping (sub-1-minute charts) - Mean-reversion strategies (designed for trend-following) - Range-bound trading (requires trending conditions) - News-driven spikes (estimates based on technical patterns, not fundamentals) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Does this indicator repaint? A: Absolutely not. All signals, duration analysis boxes, labels, and alerts use barstate.isconfirmed checks. They only appear after the bar closes. What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. Zero repaint guarantee. Q: How accurate are the trend duration estimates? A: Accuracy varies by mode, market conditions, and historical data quality: • Simple mode: 60-70% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration) • Standard mode: 70-80% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration) • Advanced mode: 75-85% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration) Best accuracy achieved on: • Higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly) • Trending markets (not choppy/sideways) • Assets with consistent behavior (Blue Chip, Large Cap) • After 20+ historical trends analyzed (builds robust database) Remember: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical patterns, not guarantees. Q: Which analysis mode should I use? A: • Simple: Beginners, clean trending markets, want minimal complexity • Standard: Most traders, general market conditions (RECOMMENDED DEFAULT) • Advanced: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets (biotech, small-cap, crypto), seeking maximum accuracy Advanced mode requires correct Asset Type configuration for optimal results. Q: What's the difference between the trading style presets? A: Each preset optimizes ALL parameters for a specific trading approach: • Scalping: Ultra-sensitive (ATR 7, Mult 2.0), more signals, shorter holds • Day Trading: Balanced (ATR 10, Mult 2.5), moderate signals, intraday holds • Swing Trading: Stable (ATR 14, Mult 3.0), fewer signals, multi-day holds • Position Trading: Very stable (ATR 21, Mult 4.0), rare signals, week/month holds Auto mode automatically selects based on your chart timeframe. Q: Should I use Auto mode or manually select a preset? A: Auto mode is recommended for most traders. It automatically matches settings to your timeframe and re-optimizes if you switch charts. Only use manual preset selection if: • You want scalping settings on a 15m chart (overriding auto-detection) • You want swing settings on a 1h chart (more conservative than auto would give) • You're testing different approaches on same timeframe Q: Can I use this for scalping and day trading? A: Absolutely! The preset system is specifically designed for all trading styles: • Select "Scalping (1-5m)" for 1-5 minute charts • Select "Day Trading (15m-1h)" for 15m-1h charts • Or use "Auto" mode and it configures automatically Volume momentum filter is auto-disabled in Scalping mode for faster signals. Q: What is Volume Momentum and why does it matter? A: Volume Momentum compares short-term volume (fast MA) to long-term volume (slow MA). It answers: "Is money flowing into this asset faster now than historically?" Why it matters: • Volume often leads price (early warning system) • Confirms institutional participation (smart money) • No lag like price-based indicators • More intuitive than complex mathematical filters When the ratio is above 1.2, you have strong evidence that institutions are accumulating (bullish) or distributing (bearish). Q: How do I set up alerts? A: Two options: Option 1 - Automatic Alerts: 1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert 2. Condition: Select this indicator 3. Choose "Any alert() function call" 4. Configure notification method (app, email, webhook) 5. You'll receive detailed alerts on every BUY and SELL signal Option 2 - Customizable Alert Conditions: 1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert 2. Condition: Select this indicator 3. You'll see three options in dropdown: - "BUY Signal" (long signals only) - "SELL Signal" (short signals only) - "ANY Signal" (both BUY and SELL) 4. Choose desired option and customize message template 5. Uses TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{close}}, {{time}}, etc. All alerts fire only on confirmed bar close (no repaint). Q: What is Scalpel Mode and should I use it? A: Scalpel Mode waits for healthy pullbacks within established trends before signaling entry. It reduces whipsaws and improves entry timing. Recommended ON for: • Swing traders (want precision entries on pullbacks) • Day traders (willing to wait for better prices) • Risk-averse traders (prefer fewer but higher-quality entries) Recommended OFF for: • Scalpers (need immediate entries, can't wait for pullbacks) • Momentum traders (want to enter on breakout, not pullback) • Aggressive traders (prefer more opportunities over precision) Q: Why do some duration estimates show wider ranges than others? A: Range width reflects historical trend variability: • Narrow range: Similar historical trends had consistent durations (high confidence) • Wide range: Similar historical trends had varying durations (lower confidence) Wide ranges often occur: • Early in analysis (fewer historical trends to learn from) • In volatile/choppy markets (inconsistent trend behavior) • On lower timeframes (more noise, less consistency) The median and average still provide useful targets even when range is wide. Q: Can I customize the dashboard position and appearance? A: Yes! Dashboard settings include: • Position: 9 options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right) • Text Size: Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge • Show/Hide: Toggle entire dashboard on/off Choose position that doesn't overlap important price action on your specific chart. Q: Which timeframe should I trade on? A: Depends on your trading style and time availability: • 1-5 minute: Active scalping, requires constant monitoring • 15m-1h: Day trading, check few times per session • 4h-Daily: Swing trading, check once or twice daily • Daily-Weekly: Position trading, check weekly General principle: Higher timeframes produce: • Fewer signals (less frequent) • Higher quality setups (stronger confirmations) • More reliable duration estimates (better statistical data) • Less noise (clearer trends) Start with Daily chart if new to trading. Move to lower timeframes as you gain experience. Q: Does this work on all markets (stocks, crypto, forex)? A: Yes, it works on all markets with trending characteristics: Excellent for: • Stocks (especially growth and momentum names) • Crypto (BTC, ETH, major altcoins) • Futures (indices, commodities) • Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.) Best results on: • Trending markets (not range-bound) • Liquid instruments (tight spreads, good fills) • Volatile assets (clear trend development) Less effective on: • Range-bound/sideways markets • Ultra-low volatility instruments • Illiquid small-caps (use caution) Configure Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) to match your instrument for best accuracy. Q: How many signals should I expect per day/week? A: Highly variable based on: By Timeframe: • 1-5 minute: 5-15 signals per session • 15m-1h: 2-5 signals per day • 4h-Daily: 2-5 signals per week • Daily-Weekly: 1-2 signals per month By Market Volatility: • High volatility = more SuperTrend flips = more signals • Low volatility = fewer flips = fewer signals By Quality Filter: • Higher threshold (60-70) = fewer but better signals • Lower threshold (30-40) = more signals, lower quality By Volume Momentum Filter: • Enabled = Fewer signals (only volume-confirmed) • Disabled = More signals (all SuperTrend flips) Adjust quality threshold and filters to match your desired signal frequency. Q: What's the difference between entry labels and info labels? A: Entry Labels (BUY/SELL): • Your primary trading signals • Based on SuperTrend flip + all confirmations (quality, volume, momentum) • Include quality score and confirmation icons • These are actionable entry points Info Labels (Volume Spike): • Additional market context • Show volume events that may support or contradict trend • 8-bar cooldown to prevent spam • NOT necessarily entry points - contextual information only Control separately: Can show entry labels without info labels (recommended for clean charts). Q: Can I combine this with other indicators? A: Absolutely! This works well with: • RSI: For divergences and overbought/oversold conditions • Support/Resistance: Confluence with key levels • Fibonacci Retracements: Pullback targets in Scalpel Mode • Price Action Patterns: Flags, pennants, cup-and-handle • MACD: Additional momentum confirmation • Bollinger Bands: Volatility context This indicator provides trend direction and duration estimates - complement with other tools for entry refinement and additional confluence. Q: Why did I get a low-quality signal? Can I filter them out? A: Yes! Increase the Minimum Quality Score in settings. If you're seeing signals with quality below your preference: • Day Trading: Set minimum to 50 • Swing Trading: Set minimum to 60 • Position Trading: Set minimum to 70 Only signals meeting the threshold will appear. This reduces frequency but improves win-rate. Q: How do I interpret the MTF Confluence count? A: Shows how many of 6 timeframes agree with current trend: • 6/6 aligned: Perfect agreement (extremely rare, highest confidence) • 5/6 aligned: Very strong alignment (high confidence) • 4/6 aligned: Good alignment (standard quality setup) • 3/6 aligned: Moderate alignment (acceptable) • 2/6 aligned: Weak alignment (caution) • 1/6 aligned: Very weak (likely counter-trend) Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends. However, MTF analysis is optional - you can disable it and rely solely on quality scoring. Q: Is this suitable for beginners? A: Yes, but requires foundational knowledge: You should understand: • Basic trend-following concepts (higher highs, higher lows) • Risk management principles (position sizing, stop losses) • How to read candlestick charts • What volume and volatility mean Beginner-friendly features: • Auto preset mode (zero configuration) • Quality scoring (tells you signal strength) • Dashboard tooltips (hover for explanations) • duration analysis boxes (visual profit targets) Recommended for beginners: 1. Start with "Auto" or "Swing Trading" preset on Daily chart 2. Use Standard Analysis Mode (not Advanced) 3. Set minimum quality to 60 (fewer but better signals) 4. Paper trade first for 2-4 weeks 5. Study methodology references (Minervini, O'Neil, Zanger) Q: What is the Asset Type setting and why does it matter? A: Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) adjusts duration estimates based on volatility characteristics: • Small Cap: Explosive moves, extended trends (+30-40%) • Biotech / Speculative: Parabolic potential, news-driven (+40%) • Blue Chip / Large Cap: Baseline, steady trends (0% adjustment) • Tech Growth: Momentum-driven, longer trends (+20%) • Dividend / Value: Slower, grinding trends (-20%) • Cyclical: Macro-driven, variable (±10%) • Crypto / High Volatility: Parabolic potential (+30%) Correct configuration improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%. Using Blue Chip settings on a biotech stock may underestimate trend length (you'll exit too early). Q: Can I backtest this indicator? A: Yes! TradingView's Strategy Tester works with this indicator's signals. To backtest: 1. Note the entry conditions (SuperTrend flip + quality threshold + filters) 2. Create a strategy script using same logic 3. Run Strategy Tester on historical data Additionally, the indicator includes BUILT-IN duration estimate validation: • System backtests its own duration estimates • Shows accuracy metrics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes • Helps assess reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe Q: Why does Volume Momentum auto-disable in Scalping mode? A: Scalping requires ultra-fast entries to catch quick moves. Volume Momentum filter adds friction by requiring volume confirmation before signaling, which can cause missed opportunities in rapid scalping. Scalping preset is optimized for speed and frequency - the filter is counterproductive for that style. It remains enabled for Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading presets where patience improves results. You can manually enable it in Custom mode if desired. Q: How much historical data do I need for accurate duration estimates? A: Minimum: 50-100 bars (indicator will function but duration estimates less reliable) Recommended: 500+ bars (robust statistical database) Optimal: 1000+ bars (maximum Statistical accuracy) More history = more completed trends = better pattern matching = more accurate duration estimates. New symbols or newly-switched timeframes will have lower Statistical accuracy initially. Allow 2-4 weeks for the system to build historical database.

Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay? The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance. The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action. Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading? Eliminate Manual Compositing Work Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period. Spot Areas of Balance Quickly The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods. Focus on What Matters Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold. How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders Automatic Profile Compositing CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that: - Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection) - Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation - Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required) - Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis The indicator displays: - Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data - Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods - Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency - 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range Multiple Timeframe Support - Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis - Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles - Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure - Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis - Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart Trading Applications for Market Profile Users Support and Resistance Trading Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. Breakout Trading When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades. Mean Reversion Strategies Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean. Institutional Level Analysis Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity. Key Features for Market Profile Traders Smart Compositing Logic - Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms - Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging) - Dead composite identification (profiles that become engulfed by newer composites) - Real-time updates as new price action develops using barstate.islast optimization Visual Customization - Customizable colors for active, broken, and dead composites - Adjustable transparency levels for each composite state - Premium/Discount zone highlighting based on current price vs composite range - TPO aggression coloring using TPO distribution analysis to identify buying/selling pressure - Fibonacci level extensions with 1.618 target calculations based on composite range Clean Chart Presentation - Only shows the most relevant composite levels (maximum 10 active composites) - Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles - Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action Real-World Trading Examples Day Trading with Session Composites Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies. Swing Trading with Daily Composites Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets. Position Trading with Weekly Composites Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years. Risk Management Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions. Why Composite Levels Work Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies. The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels. Technical Foundation The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations. How the Code Actually Works 1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart: - 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles - 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles - 4h charts: Weekly profiles - 1D charts: Monthly profiles For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation: - Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe - Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe - Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe - Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe 2. C2M Row Size Calculation The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period: - True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|) - Averages all True Range values to get ATR - Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size - This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement 3. TPO Profile Generation For each period, the code: - Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range - Each level is separated by the calculated row size - Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count) - Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC) - Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included 4. Overlap Detection Algorithm When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites: - Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL) - Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL - Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100 - If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite 5. Composite Merging Logic When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by: - Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar - Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles) - Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks - Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through 6. Real-Time Updates The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance: - Only recalculates on the last bar of each period - Updates active composite with live price action if enabled - Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues - Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar 7. Visual Rendering System The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects: - Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar - Iterates through composites array to redraw everything - Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites - Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites Getting Started with CTPO Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe Select the period type that matches your trading style: - Use "Sessions" for day trading - Use "Daily" for swing trading - Use "Weekly" for position trading - Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe Step 2: Customize the Display Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis. Step 3: Identify Key Levels Look for: - Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance - VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries - POC lines - areas of highest trading activity - 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets Step 4: Develop Your Strategy Use these levels to: - Set entry points near composite zones - Place stop losses beyond composite levels - Take profits at 1.618 extension levels - Identify trend changes when major composites break Perfect for Market Profile Traders If you're already using market profile concepts in your trading, CTPO eliminates the manual work of compositing profiles across different timeframes. Instead of spending time analyzing each individual period, you get instant access to the composite levels that matter most. The indicator's automated compositing process ensures you're always looking at the most relevant areas of balance, while its real-time updates keep you informed of changes as they happen.
