Smart Money Zones (FVG + OB) + MTF Trend Panel## Overview
Professional-grade institutional trading zones indicator that identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Order Blocks (OB)** - key price inefficiencies where smart money operates. Includes a comprehensive **Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel** for complete market context at a glance.
## Core Features
### 🎯 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so aggressively that it leaves an "imbalance" or "gap" in the market structure. These zones often act as magnets where price returns to find liquidity.
**Detection Logic:**
- **Bullish FVG**: When current candle's low is above the high of the candle 2 bars ago
- **Bearish FVG**: When current candle's high is below the low of the candle 2 bars ago
- Requires strong impulse candle (configurable body percentage threshold)
- Color-coded zones: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
### 📦 Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks represent the last opposite candle before a significant price move - the zone where institutional orders were placed before the breakout.
**Detection Logic:**
- Identifies the last bearish candle before a strong bullish breakout (Bullish OB)
- Identifies the last bullish candle before a strong bearish breakout (Bearish OB)
- Validates breakout strength using ATR multiplier (1.2x default)
- Color-coded zones: Blue for bullish, Orange for bearish
### 📊 Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel
Real-time trend analysis across **7 timeframes** displayed in an elegant dashboard:
- **1 Minute** - Ultra short-term scalping
- **5 Minutes** - Short-term momentum
- **15 Minutes** - Intraday swings
- **30 Minutes** - Session trends
- **1 Hour** - Multi-session trends
- **4 Hours** - Daily structure
- **Daily** - Long-term direction
**Visual Indicators:**
- 🟢 Green circle = Bullish trend
- 🔴 Red circle = Bearish trend
- Clean, professional table design with customizable position and size
## Intelligence Features
### 🧠 Zone Strength Rating
Every zone is automatically classified by strength based on size relative to ATR:
- **VERY STRONG** - 2.0x ATR or more (major institutional zones)
- **STRONG** - 1.5x to 2.0x ATR (significant zones)
- **MEDIUM** - 1.0x to 1.5x ATR (moderate zones)
- **WEAK** - Below 1.0x ATR (minor zones)
Strength rating helps you prioritize which zones to trade from!
### 📉 Smart Mitigation Tracking
Zones automatically track how much they've been "filled" or mitigated:
- Calculates penetration percentage as price enters the zone
- Zones turn **gray** when 50%+ mitigated or fully filled
- Option to **auto-delete** mitigated zones to keep chart clean
- Live zones extend dynamically with price action
### 🎨 Trend Filter (Optional)
When enabled, only shows zones aligned with the current trend:
- Uses customizable MA period (default 50)
- Bullish zones only appear in uptrend
- Bearish zones only appear in downtrend
- Reduces noise and false signals significantly
## Customization Options
### Display Settings
- Toggle FVGs and OBs independently
- Adjust max zones per type (5-200)
- Choose to remove or gray out mitigated zones
- Color customization for all zone types
### Detection Parameters
- **Min Impulse Body %**: Controls how strong the impulse candle must be (0.3-1.0)
- **Order Block Lookback**: How many bars to look back for OB validation (5-50)
- **ATR Length**: Period for ATR calculation (5-50)
### Trend Filter
- Enable/disable trend filtering
- Adjustable MA period for trend determination
### MTF Panel
- Show/hide the trend panel
- 4 position options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
- 3 size options: Small, Normal, Large
- Customizable MA period for trend calculation across all timeframes
## Trading Applications
### 1. **Liquidity Grab Entries**
Wait for price to sweep a zone (50%+ mitigation) then enter on reversal. Smart money often "hunts" these zones before the real move begins.
### 2. **Confluence Trading**
Look for zones that align with:
- Multiple timeframe trends showing same direction
- Multiple FVGs/OBs stacking in same area
- Key support/resistance levels
### 3. **Breakout Confirmation**
Use Order Blocks to confirm the strength of breakouts. Strong OBs indicate institutional participation.
### 4. **Retracement Entries**
Enter when price returns to a fresh, unmitigated zone in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
### 5. **Range Trading**
Identify FVG zones at range extremes - price often reverses at these inefficiencies.
## How It Works
**Fair Value Gaps** form when the middle candle creates such aggressive movement that it leaves a price gap between the high/low of surrounding candles. Institutional traders know these gaps get filled.
**Order Blocks** mark the origin of major moves. The last opposite-colored candle before a breakout is where large orders were placed. Price often returns to these zones for "retests" before continuing.
**Mitigation** happens when price returns to fill these zones. The indicator tracks this automatically, showing you which zones are still "fresh" and which have been used up.
## Best Practices
✅ **Use higher timeframe trends** - Always check the MTF panel before taking trades
✅ **Trade fresh zones** - Unmitigated zones (not gray) have the highest probability
✅ **Combine with price action** - Look for rejection wicks and engulfing candles at zones
✅ **Respect zone strength** - VERY STRONG and STRONG zones are most reliable
✅ **Use trend filter** - Especially on lower timeframes to reduce false signals
❌ **Don't overtrade** - Not every zone will react, wait for confirmation
❌ **Don't ignore context** - Check the MTF panel for conflicting trends
❌ **Don't chase** - Wait for price to come to the zone, don't enter mid-zone
## Technical Details
- **Non-repainting**: All zones are drawn on confirmed candles only
- **Performance optimized**: Uses efficient array management with per-type caps
- **Real-time updates**: Zones extend and track mitigation as price moves
- **Universal compatibility**: Works on all markets and timeframes
## Recommended Settings by Style
**Scalping (1m-5m charts):**
- Max zones: 10-15
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1m-15m trends
- Remove mitigated: ON (keep chart clean)
**Day Trading (5m-1H charts):**
- Max zones: 15-20
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 15m-4H trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (track zone history)
**Swing Trading (1H-D charts):**
- Max zones: 20+
- Use trend filter: Optional
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1H-1D trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (important zones persist)

Elite MTF EMA Reclaim StrategyThis script is a 6-minute execution MTF EMA “retest → reclaim” strategy. It looks for trend-aligned pullbacks into fast EMAs, then enters when price reclaims and (optionally) retests the reclaim level—while filtering out chop (low trend strength/volatility or recent EMA20/50 crosses) and enforcing higher-timeframe alignment (Daily + 1H, or whichever you select).
How to use
Run it on a 6-minute chart (that’s what the presets are tuned for).
Pick your Market (Forex / XAUUSD / Crypto / Indices) and a Preset:
Elite = strictest, cleanest (fewer signals)
Balanced = middle ground
Aggressive = most signals, loosest filters
Set HTF Alignment Mode:
D + H1 (recommended) for highest quality
Off if you want more trades / LTF-only testing
Leave Kill Chop = ON (recommended). If you’re not getting trades, this is usually the blocker.
Choose entry behavior:
If Require Retest = true, entries happen on the retest after reclaim (cleaner, later).
If Require Retest = false, entries trigger on reclaim using Reclaim Timing Default:
“Preset” uses the strategy’s recommended default per market/preset
or force Reclaim close / Next bar confirmation
For backtesting, keep Mode = Strategy (Backtest). For alerts/visual-only, set Mode = Indicator (Signals Only).
Use Show Signals (All Modes) to toggle triangles on/off without affecting trades.
Tip: If TradingView says “not enough data,” switch symbol history to “All,” reduce HTF alignment (try H1 only), or backtest a more recent date range.
Elite MTF EMA Reclaim Signals Only ( With Market Presets)This indicator is a multi-timeframe trend-continuation entry tool.
It’s designed to help you enter pullback trades in strong trends while blocking choppy or low-quality conditions.
It works by:
Requiring Daily + 1H trend alignment
Enforcing EMA structure (5/10/20/50) on the 6-minute chart
Confirming momentum (EMA slope + curvature)
Blocking trades during chop (low ATR, weak ADX, tight EMAs, recent EMA crosses)
Triggering entries only after a Pullback → Reclaim → (optional) Retest
How to use it (6-minute execution)
Set chart to 6-minute
Select Market (Forex, XAUUSD, Crypto, or Indices)
Select Preset
Elite → fewest, cleanest trades
Balanced → best everyday default
Aggressive → more signals, more risk
Trade only when you see a LONG or SHORT triangle
Avoid trades when CHOP or HTF block markers appear
Place stops beyond EMA50 or recent structure, target 2R–4R+
Optional:
Turn on Looser LTF Mode or Allow reclaim without pullback for more signals
Use Next bar confirmation for cleaner entries, Reclaim close for faster entries
Bottom line:
The indicator doesn’t hunt trades—it filters the market so you only trade when trend, momentum, and structure are aligned.

Multi-MA SuiteMulti-MA Suite - Customizable Moving Averages Indicator
Overview
Multi-MA Suite is a comprehensive moving average indicator that combines both Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) in a single, highly customizable tool. Designed for traders who rely on multiple timeframe analysis, this indicator provides up to 9 moving averages (5 EMAs + 4 SMAs) with full control over visibility, color schemes, and parameters.
Key Features
✓ Dual MA Types:
5 Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - Responsive to recent price action, ideal for short to medium timeframes
4 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) - Slow and stable, specifically designed for long timeframe analysis
✓ Full Customization:
Individual toggle switches to show/hide each moving average
Custom color picker for each MA line
Adjustable length and source for all moving averages
Progressive line width (thicker lines for longer periods)
✓ Pre-configured Defaults:
EMA: 9, 21, 50, 100, 200 (common swing trading periods)
SMA: 50, 100, 200, 300 (institutional reference levels for long-term trends)
Color-coded scheme: Warm colors (yellow-orange) for EMAs, Cool colors (blue-purple) for SMAs
✓ Clean Interface:
Organized input groups for easy navigation
Clear labeling and logical parameter ordering
Minimal chart clutter with toggle controls
Key Difference - Speed & Timeframe:
EMAs: Fast and reactive → Best for short to medium timeframes (1-min to 4-hour charts)
SMAs: Slow and smooth → Best for long timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly charts)
Recommended Settings
Day Trading (Short Timeframes):
Focus on EMAs: 9, 21, 50
Use 1-minute to 15-minute charts
SMAs react too slowly for intraday timeframes
Swing Trading (Medium Timeframes):
Use all EMAs with SMA 50 and 200
1-hour to daily charts work best
Mix of EMAs for entries, SMAs for trend context
Position Trading (Long Timeframes):
Focus primarily on SMAs: 50, 100, 200, 300
Daily to weekly charts recommended
SMAs excel here due to their slow, stable nature
Can add EMA 200 for comparison
Investment Analysis (Very Long Timeframes):
SMAs only: 100, 200, 300
Weekly to monthly charts
SMA's slow calculation filters noise perfectly for long-term trends
EMA Timeframe-Specific Recommendations
📌 Important Notes on EMA Usage by Timeframe:
Small Timeframes (5-minute and 15-minute charts):
Use 9 EMA and 21 EMA
These fast EMAs respond quickly to price changes
Perfect for scalping and day trading
The 9/21 EMA crossover is a popular day trading strategy
Medium Timeframes (1-hour to 4-hour charts):
Use 21 EMA and 50 EMA
Balances responsiveness with trend reliability
Ideal for swing trading and intraday position holding
The 21/50 EMA combination filters out noise while staying responsive
Long Timeframes (Daily and Weekly charts):
Use 50 EMA and 200 EMA
The classic trend-following combination
50 EMA for medium-term trend, 200 EMA for major trend
The 50/200 EMA crossover is known as the "Golden Cross" (bullish) or "Death Cross" (bearish)
For very long-term analysis on these timeframes, consider using SMAs instead
Quick Reference Guide:
5m / 15m: EMA 9 & 21
1h / 4h: EMA 21 & 50
1D / 1W: EMA 50 & 200 (or switch to SMAs for even smoother signals)
Practical Trading Strategy with EMAs
📌 Why Use EMAs for Active Trading:
For active trading, use EMAs because they have faster movement compared to SMAs. This faster response to price changes allows you to catch trends earlier and exit trades before major reversals occur.
Three-EMA Trading System:
1. 9 EMA - Quick Trend Recognition:
Use the 9 EMA to understand the trend quickly
When price is above 9 EMA = Short-term uptrend
When price is below 9 EMA = Short-term downtrend
The 9 EMA reacts immediately to price momentum changes
Perfect for entry timing and quick trend identification
2. 21 EMA - Exit Signal and Trend Confirmation:
When the 21 EMA breaks (price crosses it), exit your trade
This is critical because when the 21 EMA breaks, the trend will likely reverse
The 21 EMA acts as your "stop-loss line"
Breaking the 21 EMA signals that the short-term momentum has shifted
Example: In an uptrend, when price crosses below 21 EMA, exit longs immediately
Example: In a downtrend, when price crosses above 21 EMA, exit shorts immediately
3. 50 EMA - Full Correction Understanding:
Use the 50 EMA to understand the complete correction
The 50 EMA shows where the full pullback or correction might end
When price reaches the 50 EMA, it often bounces (in a strong trend)
Breaking the 50 EMA indicates a deeper correction or potential trend reversal
Use it to gauge the strength of the overall trend
Customization Tips
Toggle unnecessary MAs off to reduce chart clutter based on your trading style and timeframe
For the 3-EMA trading strategy, enable only 9, 21, and 50 EMAs
For long timeframes (daily+), disable EMAs and use only SMAs to avoid over-reactive signals
Match your EMA selection to your timeframe using the guide above
Adjust colors to match your chart theme or to highlight specific MAs
Modify lengths to fit specific market conditions or asset volatility
Change source from close to high/low/HL2 for alternative perspectives
Use thicker lines for key decision MAs (edit linewidth in settings)
Color Scheme Rationale
EMAs (Warm Colors):
Yellow → Orange progression represents increasing timeframes while maintaining visual cohesion. The warm palette signals "active" or "fast-reacting" nature of EMAs, perfect for shorter timeframes and active trading.
SMAs (Cool Colors):
Blue → Purple progression provides clear visual distinction from EMAs. The cool palette suggests "stable," "slow," and "smooth" characteristics of SMAs, ideal for long timeframe analysis.
What Makes This Different?
Unlike basic MA indicators, Multi-MA Suite provides:
Both EMA and SMA in one indicator (saves indicator slots)
Optimized MA selection based on speed characteristics - fast EMAs for short timeframes, slow SMAs for long timeframes
Clear timeframe-specific EMA recommendations for immediate use
Practical trading strategy included - 9 EMA for trend, 21 EMA for exit, 50 EMA for corrections
Individual control over each MA (toggle, color, parameters)
Thoughtful default settings based on widely-used trading periods
Color-coded system for instant visual differentiation
Clean, organized interface for efficient workflow
Installation & Usage
Add the indicator to your chart
Open indicator settings to customize
For active trading: Enable 9, 21, and 50 EMAs (the recommended trading system)
Select appropriate MAs for your timeframe (use the EMA timeframe guide above)
Toggle MAs on/off based on your analysis needs
Adjust colors if desired to match your chart theme
Modify lengths and sources as needed for your strategy

A sleek, color-coded dashboard displays progress bars for each indicator, prediction percentages, and status (e.g., "PERFECT TIME" or "WAIT"). Supports long and short analyses with intuitive ASCII bars for quick scans.
• Projection Candles:
Simulates potential next-candle outcomes with volatility-scaled (via Bollinger Bands width) green long and red short candles, aiding in visualizing price targets.
• Buy/Sell Signals and Alerts:
Generates labeled "BUY" and "SELL" arrows on EMA crossovers within confirmed trends, with separate alerts for basic signals and high-confluence "PERFECT TIME" opportunities.
• Customizable Inputs:
Adjust ATR periods, Supertrend factors, minimum confluence scores, and volume ratios to tailor the indicator for stocks, forex, or crypto perpetual futures.
How It Works:
This TradingView script calculates long and short scores using weighted contributions from key indicators, normalizing them into prediction percentages. A confluence check—factoring trend, EMA alignment, MACD, Stochastic, volume, and ADX—triggers "PERFECT TIME" only when conditions align robustly. For example:
• In a downtrend (Supertrend red), with bearish MACD and Stochastic, and sufficient volume, the indicator highlights short opportunities.
• Dynamic thresholds ensure aggressive entries in strong trends (ADX >25) and conservative ones in weak trends.
• Backtested for reliability, it excels in identifying reversals and continuations, making it a must-have for traders seeking an edge in futures trading strategies.
Usage Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. (Search: Next Candle Predictor)
2. Customize settings via the inputs panel (e.g., set minConfluence to 5 for stricter signals).
3. Monitor the analysis table for predictions and confluence scores.

Elite MTF EMA ReclaimThis indicator is a trend-continuation tool, not a scalper.
Its purpose is to help you enter clean pullback trades in strong trends while blocking chop and low-quality setups.
It works by:
Requiring Daily + 1H trend alignment
Enforcing EMA structure (5/10/20/50) on the execution timeframe
Confirming momentum expansion using EMA slope + curvature
Blocking trades when conditions are choppy (low ATR, weak ADX, tight EMAs, recent EMA crosses)
Triggering entries only after a Pullback → Reclaim → (optional) Retest
How to use it:
Trade on the 6-minute chart (Forex works best based on default setting) but is adaptable to any market by changing settings
Wait for LONG / SHORT triangles only when no CHOP or HTF block is shown
Enter on the signal, place stops beyond EMA 50 or structure, target 2R–4R+
Expect fewer but higher-quality trades
What it’s not:
Not a breakout or range-trading indicator
Not meant to fire many signals
Not for choppy or low-volatility markets
Bottom line:
It helps you trade with higher-timeframe momentum, enter after pullbacks, and avoid bad market conditions.
Market Acceptance Envelope [Interakktive]The Market Acceptance Envelope (MAE) is a diagnostic tool that shows where price statistically belongs — not where it might go. Unlike traditional bands that expand with volatility, MAE expands with acceptance: regions where price rotates comfortably, efficiency drops, and the market agrees on fair value.
This is the anti-Bollinger thesis: bands should represent where price IS accepted, not where it MIGHT reach based on standard deviation.
█ USAGE
The filled corridor represents the current acceptance zone — where price has demonstrated rotational behavior with low directional efficiency. When price is inside the corridor, it's "home." When outside, it's exploring territory the market hasn't yet accepted.
For discretionary traders, MAE provides instant context: "Is price where it belongs, or is it extended?"
For systematic traders, the exported values (confidence, asymmetry, position) can inform position sizing and filter logic.
█ ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Unlike traditional bands centered on a moving average, MAE uses an Acceptance Centroid — a time-weighted price level where acceptance behavior concentrates. The centroid is calculated by weighting price by:
• Inverse efficiency (low efficiency = high acceptance)
• Volatility stability (stable vol = higher weight)
• Dwell factor (time spent near level)
This means the centroid drifts toward where price actually rotates, not simply where it averages.
█ ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
MAE calculates upper and lower boundaries independently. Markets rarely treat up and down equally — during uptrends, the upper boundary may be wider (more accepted upside exploration), while the lower boundary stays tight (quick rejection of dips).
This asymmetry is visible on the chart and exported as a metric (-1 to +1).
█ CONFIDENCE-BASED VISIBILITY
The corridor's opacity reflects acceptance confidence:
• High confidence → clearly visible corridor (price is in accepted rotation)
• Low confidence → faded corridor (trending/directional market, acceptance not established)
When the corridor fades, it's telling you: "Acceptance hasn't been earned here yet."
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
• A diagnostic acceptance envelope showing where price statistically belongs
• Asymmetric by design — upper and lower calculated independently
• Confidence-weighted visibility — fades when acceptance is not earned
• Non-repainting — uses closed-bar data only
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS NOT
• NOT Bollinger Bands (no standard deviation around a mean)
• NOT Keltner Channels (no ATR-scaled envelope)
• NOT a signal generator — no touches = signals philosophy
• NO arrows, NO entries/exits, NO buy/sell recommendations
█ HOW IT WORKS
MAE uses an acceptance-weighted calculation approach:
1. ACCEPTANCE WEIGHT
Each bar receives a weight based on:
• Efficiency: (1 - efficiency) — low efficiency = rotational = high acceptance
• Volatility Stability: stable vol environment = higher weight
• Dwell Factor: price staying near central tendency = higher weight
2. ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Weighted average of price using acceptance weights:
centroid = Σ(price × weight) / Σ(weight)
Smoothed adaptively — faster during drift, slower when stable.
3. ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
Upper and lower distances calculated separately:
• rngUp = acceptance-weighted average of (price - centroid) when price > centroid
• rngDn = acceptance-weighted average of (centroid - price) when price < centroid
4. CONFIDENCE SCORE
Composite of average acceptance weight, volatility stability, and centroid stability.
Maps to corridor opacity: high confidence = visible, low confidence = faded.
█ SETTINGS
Market Acceptance Envelope — Core
• Acceptance Lookback (20): Bars to evaluate for acceptance conditions. Higher = smoother, slower response.
• Preset (Swing): Scalper = tight/fast, Swing = balanced, Position = wide/stable.
• Envelope Sensitivity (1.0): Width multiplier. Higher = wider corridor.
Market Acceptance Envelope — Visuals
• Show Corridor (true): Display the acceptance corridor.
• Show Centroid (false): Display the acceptance centroid line.
Market Acceptance Envelope — Data Window
• Show Data Window Values (false): Export MAE metrics for external use.
█ EXPORTED VALUES
When Data Window is enabled:
• mae_upper: Upper boundary value
• mae_lower: Lower boundary value
• mae_centroid: Acceptance centroid value
• mae_width: Corridor width (upper - lower)
• mae_asymmetry: Asymmetry ratio (-1 to +1, negative = lower wider)
• mae_confidence: Acceptance confidence (0-100)
• mae_position: Price position (-1 = below, 0 = inside, +1 = above)
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on all markets: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto, Indices.
Works on all timeframes. Higher timeframes show more stable acceptance zones.

Market State Intelligence [Interakktive]Market State Intelligence (MSI) is a diagnostic market-context indicator that reveals how the market is behaving — not where price "should" go.
MSI does not generate buy/sell signals. Instead, it classifies market conditions into clear behavioural regimes by continuously measuring:
- DRIVE (directional effort)
- OPPOSITION (absorption / resistance)
- STABILITY (structural persistence)
MSI is designed to answer three practical questions:
- What state is the market in right now?
- Is energy building, releasing, or decaying?
- Is participation aligned with price, or opposing it?
█ WHAT MSI DOES
MSI operates as a real-time regime classification engine that processes each closed bar through three independent measurement systems:
DRIVE — Directional Effort (0–100)
- Displacement efficiency (net progress vs total path)
- Range expansion quality (actual range vs expected ATR range)
- Body dominance (body vs candle range)
OPPOSITION — Absorption / Resistance (0–100)
- Wick pressure (rejection relative to attempt)
- Effort–result gap (high effort, low progress)
- Reversal density (counter-moves frequency)
STABILITY — Persistence (0–100)
- Condition persistence (how long conditions hold)
- Variance score (flip frequency)
- Follow-through consistency (reaction continuity)
These three forces feed a deterministic classifier with hysteresis (anti-flicker) to identify five regimes:
COMPRESSION — low drive, low opposition, higher stability (pressure building, direction unclear)
EXPANSION — high drive, low opposition (directional energy release)
TREND — medium-high drive, higher stability, low-medium opposition (healthy continuation)
DISTRIBUTION — medium drive, high opposition (effort absorbed; progress blocked)
TRANSITION — rapidly rising opposition, low stability (regime breakdown / uncertainty)
█ WHAT MSI DOES NOT DO
- No buy/sell signals, entries/exits, or performance claims
- No prediction of future direction
- No repainting: calculations use closed-bar data only
MSI is a market state layer intended to support your execution framework.
█ VISUAL SYSTEM
MSI uses a layered visual grammar designed to remain readable on live charts:
Regime Ribbon
A thin horizontal band showing the current regime via colour. Ribbon opacity reflects regime confidence (stronger confidence = more visible).
Pressure Envelope (core visual)
A soft corridor around price that expands with Drive and becomes more visible as Opposition increases. This visualises "pressure thickness" around current action (not a volatility band for entries).
Structural Memory
Faint background stains appear where regimes previously failed (e.g., expansion collapsing into absorption). These are behavioural context zones showing where market intention was rejected — not support/resistance.
Regime Change Markers (optional)
Subtle labels appear when regimes transition after confirmation. Useful for replay and education.
Effort Halo (optional)
Candle highlighting when Opposition materially exceeds Drive, indicating absorption/inefficiency.
█ HUD PANEL
The HUD displays:
- Current regime name + colour indicator
- A context gate showing whether conditions are aligned with long-bias or short-bias context (not an entry/exit system)
█ REGIME LEGEND
When enabled, displays:
- A one-line definition of the current regime
- Live Drive / Opposition / Stability values for interpretation
█ TIME-TO-DECISION METER
A visual pressure gauge that tends to fill during Compression (energy building) and drain during Expansion (energy releasing). It is a state-tracking meter, not a timing tool.
█ SETTINGS
MSI — Settings
- Preset Mode: Scalper / Swing / Position
- Analysis Mode (Minimal): ON = subtle visuals, OFF = full intensity
- Regime Ribbon, Structural Memory, HUD Panel, Time-to-Decision Meter, Effort Halo
MSI — Visual Options
- Show Regime Changes: Labels when regime transitions occur
- Show Regime Legend: Definition and live values display
- Panel Position: Move the entire panel anywhere on chart
MSI — Advanced (Tuning)
- Sensitivity (0.5–2.0)
- Smoothing (0.5–2.0)
- Memory Decay (0.5–2.0)
- Visual Intensity (Low / Medium / High)
█ PRESETS EXPLAINED
Scalper
Higher sensitivity + lower smoothing + faster memory decay. Best for 1m–15m monitoring.
Swing (default)
Balanced behaviour. Best for 15m–4H analysis.
Position
Lower sensitivity + higher smoothing + slower memory decay. Best for 4H–1D macro context.
█ STRUCTURAL MEMORY
When a regime fails (example: Expansion → Distribution), MSI creates a memory imprint:
- Fixed stain window (preset dependent)
- Strength decays over time
- Limited to a maximum number of imprints to reduce chart clutter
These zones represent behavioural rejection, not levels.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
MSI is designed for Forex, Crypto, Indices, Stocks, and Commodities.
Works from intraday to Daily, with particularly strong readability on 15m–4H.

MA Crossover with R SquaredThis indicator enhances the classic Moving Average (MA) crossover strategy with statistical filtering and prediction capabilities.
Let me explain what it does:
Instead of just showing when a fast MA crosses above/below a slow MA, this indicator adds R² (R-squared) filtering to identify higher-quality crossovers and predicts future crossovers.
What is R²?
R² (Coefficient of Determination) is a statistical measure that shows how well one variable explains the movement of another variable. In simpler terms:
R² = 1.0: Perfect relationship - 100% of the movement in one MA is explained by the other MA
R² = 0.8: Strong relationship - 80%
R² = 0.5: Moderate relationship - 50%
R² = 0.0: No relationship - 0%
Imagine two cars driving on a highway:
High R² (0.9): Both cars are in the same lane, moving together consistently
Low R² (0.3): One car is weaving between lanes while the other stays straight - poor coordination.
Traditional MA crossovers often generate false signals during:
Choppy markets (price bouncing around)
Sideways/ranging markets
Low volatility periods
News events causing temporary spikes
The R² Solution:
R² acts as a "quality filter" that answers: "How meaningful this crossover is?"
What this means:
Before R² filtering: Every crossover generates a signal
After R² filtering: Only crossovers with R² > threshold generate signals
Result: Fewer but higher-quality signals.
MARKET REGIME DETECTION
High R² (> 0.7): Strong trending market - MA crossovers are reliable
Medium R² (0.4-0.7): Moderate trending - use with caution
Low R² (< 0.4): Choppy/range-bound market - avoid MA crossover signals
Increasing R²: MAs are converging/moving together more closely
Decreasing R²: MAs are diverging/losing coordination
Sudden R² drop: Potential market regime change.
Why Square the Correlation?
Correlation: Measures direction AND strength (-1 to +1)
R²: Measures strength ONLY (0 to 1)
In trading: We care about relationship strength, not direction
Direction is already indicated by crossover type (bullish/bearish)
Real-World Interpretation:
If R² = 0.64, it means:
64% of the variation in the fast MA is explained by the slow MA
36% is "noise" or unexplained movement
The MAs are moderately coordinated.
R² Trend Confirmation:
Entry: When crossover occurs AND R² is above threshold
Confirmation: R² continues rising after entry
Exit: R² drops below threshold (relationship weakening)
Multi-Timeframe R² Analysis
Check R² on higher timeframe for trend context
Use current timeframe for entry signals
Example: Daily R² > 0.7 gives bullish bias, use 1-hour for entries.
R² LIMITATIONS & CAUTIONS
1. Lagging Nature
R² is calculated from past data
By the time R² is high, the trend may already be established
2. Not a Standalone Indicator
R² should confirm other signals, not generate them alone
Always combine with price action, volume, support/resistance
3. Curve Fitting Risk
Don't over-optimize R² thresholds on historical data
What worked in the past may not work in the future
Use R² as a filter, not a predictor
4. Market-Specific Behavior
R² thresholds that work in trending stocks may fail in Forex
Cryptocurrencies may require different R² settings than commodities
Always test on your specific market/instrument
Before Taking Any Signal:
✅ Does the crossover have a colored circle? (R² > threshold)
✅ What's the R² number shown? (Higher = better)
✅ Is R² rising or falling? (Rising = strengthening relationship)
✅ Check history table - what happened with similar R² values?
✅ Consider prediction - does it align with current signal?
Simple R² Rules of Thumb:
R² > 0.8: Excellent signal quality
R² 0.6-0.8: Good signal quality
R² 0.4-0.6: Moderate - use additional confirmation
R² < 0.4: Poor - avoid or use extreme caution
Think of R² as:
A quality control inspector for MA crossovers
A relationship therapist for your moving averages
A statistical bouncer that only lets strong signals through
Higher win rate + Better risk/reward = More profitable trading
This script transforms the basic "when lines cross" approach into a sophisticated, statistically-validated trading system. R² is the secret sauce that separates random crossovers (Golden/Death) from meaningful trend changes.

Round Level Pro Stats
Here is a professional English description of your indicator, which you can use for your own records or if you ever want to share it on the TradingView Community Scripts:
Indicator Name: Dynamic Round Levels & Historical Strength Grid
Overview
This indicator is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to identify and evaluate "Round Number" psychological levels (e.g., 1.17100, 1.17200, 1.17300). Unlike a static grid, this tool actively scans historical data to provide a "Strength Score" for each level, helping traders distinguish between minor price points and significant historical reaction zones.
Key Features
Automated Price Grid: Generates a clean, horizontal grid based on user-defined price intervals (Steps). Perfect for Forex (0.001 pips), Stocks, or Crypto.
Historical Strength Engine: Analyzes up to 5,000 historical bars to calculate how "respected" a price level is.
The "3-Candle Confirmation" Logic: A level's strength is only increased if the price touches the line and successfully reverses/bounces, staying on the same side for at least 3 subsequent candles.
Smart Visual Coding:
Green (High Strength): Levels with >60% historical reversal success.
Orange (Medium Strength): Levels with 35%–60% success.
Red (Low Strength): Levels frequently breached without reaction.
Pro HUD Display: Bold percentage labels are positioned at the far right of the chart (near the price scale) to keep the main trading area clutter-free.
How to Use
Set your Step: For Forex, use 0.001 to see 10-pip increments. For Bitcoin or Gold, use 10 or 100.
Lookback Period: Adjust the history scan (up to 5,000 bars) to match your trading timeframe.
Identify Support/Resistance: Look for Green % STR labels. These represent "Round Numbers" that have acted as strong barriers in the past, offering higher-probability entry or exit points.

Ultimate MACD [captainua]Ultimate MACD - Comprehensive MACD Trading System
Overview
This indicator combines traditional MACD calculations with advanced features including divergence detection, volume analysis, histogram analysis tools, regression forecasting, strong top/bottom detection, and multi-timeframe confirmation to provide a comprehensive MACD-based trading system. The script calculates MACD using configurable moving average types (EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA) and applies various smoothing methods to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. The combination of these features creates a multi-layered confirmation system that reduces false signals by requiring alignment across multiple indicators and timeframes.
Core Calculations
MACD Calculation:
The script calculates MACD using the standard formula: MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA, Signal Line = Moving Average of MACD Line, Histogram = MACD Line - Signal Line. The default parameters are Fast=12, Slow=26, Signal=9, matching the traditional MACD settings. The script supports four moving average types:
- EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Standard and most responsive, default choice
- SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equal weight to all periods
- RMA (Wilder's Moving Average): Smoother, less responsive
- WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Recent prices weighted more heavily
The price source can be configured as Close (standard), Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, or OHLC4. Alternative sources provide different sensitivity characteristics for various trading strategies.
Configuration Presets:
The script includes trading style presets that automatically configure MACD parameters:
- Scalping: Fast/Responsive settings (8,18,6 with minimal smoothing)
- Day Trading: Balanced settings (10,22,7 with minimal smoothing)
- Swing Trading: Standard settings (12,26,9 with moderate smoothing)
- Position Trading: Smooth/Conservative settings (15,35,12 with higher smoothing)
- Custom: Full manual control over all parameters
Histogram Smoothing:
The histogram can be smoothed using EMA to reduce noise and filter minor fluctuations. Smoothing length of 1 = raw histogram (no smoothing), higher values (3-5) = smoother histogram. Increased smoothing reduces noise but may delay signals slightly.
Percentage Mode:
MACD values can be converted to percentage of price (MACD/Close*100) for cross-instrument comparison. This is useful when comparing MACD signals across instruments with different price levels (e.g., BTC vs ETH). The percentage mode normalizes MACD values, making them comparable regardless of instrument price.
MACD Scale Factor:
A scale factor multiplier (default 1.0) allows adjusting MACD display size for better visibility. Use 0.3-0.5 if MACD appears too compressed, or 2.0-3.0 if too small.
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Overbought and oversold levels are calculated dynamically based on MACD's mean and standard deviation over a lookback period. The formula: OB = MACD Mean + (StdDev × OB Multiplier), OS = MACD Mean - (StdDev × OS Multiplier). This adapts to current market conditions, widening in volatile markets and narrowing in calm markets. The lookback period (default 20) controls how quickly the levels adapt: longer periods (30-50) = more stable levels, shorter (10-15) = more responsive.
OB/OS Background Coloring:
Optional background coloring can highlight the entire panel when MACD enters overbought or oversold territory, providing prominent visual indication of extreme conditions. The background colors are drawn on top of the main background to ensure visibility.
Divergence Detection
Regular Divergence:
The script uses the MACD line (not histogram) for divergence detection, which provides more reliable signals. Bullish divergence: Price makes a lower low while MACD line makes a higher low. Bearish divergence: Price makes a higher high while MACD line makes a lower high. Divergences often precede reversals and are powerful reversal signals.
Pivot-Based Divergence:
The divergence detection uses actual pivot points (pivotlow/pivothigh) instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. This provides more accurate divergence detection by identifying significant pivot lows/highs in both price and MACD line. The pivot-based method compares two recent pivot points: for bullish divergence, price makes a lower low while MACD makes a higher low at the pivot points. This method reduces false divergences by requiring actual pivot points rather than just any low/high within a period.
The pivot lookback parameters (left and right) control how many bars on each side of a pivot are required for confirmation. Higher values = more conservative pivot detection.
Hidden Divergence:
Continuation patterns that signal trend continuation rather than reversal. Bullish hidden divergence: Price makes a higher low but MACD makes a lower low. Bearish hidden divergence: Price makes a lower high but MACD makes a higher high. These patterns indicate the trend is likely to continue in the current direction.
Zero-Line Filter:
The "Don't Touch Zero Line" option ensures divergences occur in proper context: for bullish divergence, MACD must stay below zero; for bearish divergence, MACD must stay above zero. This filters out divergences that occur in neutral zones.
Range Filtering:
Minimum and maximum lookback ranges control the time window between pivots to consider for divergence. This helps filter out divergences that are too close together (noise) or too far apart (less relevant).
Volume Confirmation System
Volume threshold filtering requires current volume to exceed the volume SMA multiplied by the threshold factor. The formula: Volume Confirmed = Volume > (Volume SMA × Threshold). If the threshold is set to 1.0 or lower, volume confirmation is effectively disabled (always returns true). This allows you to use the indicator without volume filtering if desired. Volume confirmation significantly increases divergence and signal reliability.
Volume Climax and Dry-Up Detection:
The script can mark bars with extremely high volume (volume climax) or extremely low volume (volume dry-up). Volume climax indicates potential reversal points or strong momentum continuation. Volume dry-up indicates low participation and may produce unreliable signals. These markers use standard deviation multipliers to identify extreme volume conditions.
Zero-Line Cross Detection
MACD zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts: above zero = bullish momentum, below zero = bearish momentum. The script includes alert conditions for zero-line crosses with cooldown protection to prevent alert spam. Zero-line crosses can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line.
Histogram Analysis Tools
Histogram Moving Average:
A moving average applied to the histogram itself helps identify histogram trend direction and acts as a signal line for histogram movements. Supports EMA, SMA, RMA, and WMA types. Useful for identifying when histogram momentum is strengthening or weakening.
Histogram Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are applied to the MACD histogram instead of price. The calculation: Basis = SMA(Histogram, Period), StdDev = stdev(Histogram, Period), Upper = Basis + (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier), Lower = Basis - (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier). This creates dynamic zones around the histogram that adapt to histogram volatility. When the histogram touches or exceeds the bands, it indicates extreme conditions relative to recent histogram behavior.
Stochastic MACD (StochMACD):
Stochastic MACD applies the Stochastic oscillator formula to the MACD histogram instead of price. This normalizes the histogram to a 0-100 scale, making it easier to identify overbought/oversold conditions on the histogram itself. The calculation: %K = ((Histogram - Lowest Histogram) / (Highest Histogram - Lowest Histogram)) × 100. %K is smoothed, and %D is calculated as the moving average of smoothed %K. Standard thresholds are 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
Regression Forecasting
The script includes advanced regression forecasting that predicts future MACD values using mathematical models. This helps anticipate potential MACD movements and provides forward-looking context for trading decisions.
Regression Types:
- Linear: Simple trend line (y = mx + b) - fastest, works well for steady trends
- Polynomial: Quadratic curve (y = ax² + bx + c) - captures curvature in MACD movement
- Exponential Smoothing: Weighted average with more weight on recent values - responsive to recent changes
- Moving Average: Uses difference between short and long MA to estimate trend - stable and smooth
Forecast Horizon:
Number of bars to forecast ahead (default 5, max 50 for linear/MA, max 20 for polynomial due to performance). Longer horizons predict further ahead but may be less accurate.
Confidence Bands:
Optional upper/lower bands around forecast show prediction uncertainty based on forecast error (standard deviation of prediction vs actual). Wider bands = higher uncertainty. The confidence level multiplier (default 1.5) controls band width.
Forecast Display:
Forecast appears as dotted lines extending forward from current bar, with optional confidence bands. All forecast values respect percentage mode and scale factor settings.
Strong Top/Bottom Signals
The script detects strong recovery from extreme MACD levels, generating "sBottom" and "sTop" signals. These identify significant reversal potential when MACD recovers substantially from overbought/oversold extremes.
Strong Bottom (sBottom):
Triggered when:
1. MACD was at or near its lowest point in the bottom period (default 10 bars)
2. MACD was in or near the oversold zone
3. MACD has recovered by at least the threshold amount (default 0.5) from the lowest point
4. Recovery persists for confirmation bars (default 2 consecutive bars)
5. MACD has moved out of the oversold zone
6. Volume is above average
7. All enabled filters pass
8. Minimum bars have passed since last signal (reset period, default 5 bars)
Strong Top (sTop):
Triggered when:
1. MACD was at or near its highest point in the top period (default 7 bars)
2. MACD was in or near the overbought zone
3. MACD has declined by at least the threshold amount (default 0.5) from the highest point
4. Decline persists for confirmation bars (default 2 consecutive bars)
5. MACD has moved out of the overbought zone
6. Volume is above average
7. All enabled filters pass
8. Minimum bars have passed since last signal (reset period, default 5 bars)
Label Placement:
sTop/sBottom labels appear on the historical bar where the actual extreme occurred (not on current bar), showing the exact MACD value at that extreme. Labels respect the unified distance checking system to prevent overlaps with Buy/Sell Strength labels.
Signal Strength Calculation
The script calculates a composite signal strength score (0-100) based on multiple factors:
- MACD distance from signal line (0-50 points): Larger separation indicates stronger signal
- Volume confirmation (0-15 points): Volume above average adds points
- Secondary timeframe alignment (0-15 points): Higher timeframe agreement adds points
- Distance from zero line (0-20 points): Closer to zero can indicate stronger reversal potential
Higher scores (70+) indicate stronger, more reliable signals. The signal strength is displayed in the statistics table and can be used as a filter to only accept signals above a threshold.
Smart Label Placement System
The script includes an advanced label placement system that tracks MACD extremes and places Buy/Sell Strength labels at optimal locations:
Label Placement Algorithm:
- Labels appear on the current bar at confirmation (not on historical extreme bars), ensuring they're visible when the signal is confirmed
- The system tracks pending signals when MACD enters OB/OS zones or crosses the signal line
- During tracking, the system continuously searches for the true extreme (lowest MACD for buys, highest MACD for sells) within a configurable historical lookback period
- Labels are only finalized when: (1) MACD exits the OB/OS zone, (2) sufficient bars have passed (2x minimum distance), (3) MACD has recovered/declined by a configurable percentage from the extreme (default 15%), and (4) tracking has stopped (no better extreme found)
Label Spacing and Overlap Prevention:
- Minimum Bars Between Labels: Base distance requirement (default 5 bars)
- Label Spacing Multiplier: Scales the base distance (default 1.5x) for better distribution. Higher values = more spacing between labels
- Effective distance = Base Distance × Spacing Multiplier (e.g., 5 × 1.5 = 7.5 bars minimum)
- Unified distance checking prevents overlaps between all label types (Buy Strength, Sell Strength, sTop, sBottom)
Strength-Based Filtering:
- Label Strength Minimum (%): Only labels with strength at or above this threshold are displayed (default 75%)
- When multiple potential labels are close together, the system automatically compares strengths and keeps only the strongest one
- This ensures only the most significant signals are displayed, reducing chart clutter
Zero Line Polarity Enforcement:
- Enforce Zero Line Polarity (default enabled): Ensures labels follow traditional MACD interpretation
- Buy Strength labels only appear when the tracked extreme MACD value was below zero (negative territory)
- Sell Strength labels only appear when the tracked extreme MACD value was above zero (positive territory)
- This prevents counter-intuitive labels (e.g., Buy labels above zero line) and aligns with standard MACD trading principles
Recovery/Decline Confirmation:
- Recovery/Decline Confirm (%): Percent move away from the extreme required before finalizing (default 15%)
- For Buy labels: MACD must recover by at least this percentage from the tracked bottom
- For Sell labels: MACD must decline by at least this percentage from the tracked top
- Higher values = more confirmation required, fewer but more reliable labels
Historical Lookback:
- Historical Lookback for Label Placement: Number of bars to search for true extremes (default 20)
- The system searches within this period to find the actual lowest/highest MACD value
- Higher values analyze more history but may be slower; lower values are faster but may miss some extremes
Cross Quality Score
The script calculates a MACD cross quality score (0-100) that rates crossover quality based on:
- Cross angle (0-50 points): Steeper crosses = stronger signals
- Volume confirmation (0-25 points): Volume above average adds points
- Distance from zero line (0-25 points): Crosses near zero line are stronger
This score helps identify high-quality crossovers and can be used as a filter to only accept signals meeting minimum quality threshold.
Filtering System
Histogram Filter:
Requires histogram to be above zero for buy signals, below zero for sell signals. Ensures momentum alignment before generating signals.
Signal Strength Filter:
Requires minimum signal strength score for signals. Higher threshold = only strongest signals pass. This combines multiple confirmation factors into a single filter.
Cross Quality Filter:
Requires minimum cross quality score for signals. Rates crossover quality based on angle, volume, momentum, and distance from zero. Only signals meeting minimum quality threshold will be generated.
All filters use the pattern: filterResult = not filterEnabled OR conditionMet. This means if a filter is disabled, it always passes (returns true). Filters can be combined, and all must pass for a signal to fire.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The script can display MACD from a secondary (higher) timeframe and use it for confirmation. When secondary timeframe confirmation is enabled, signals require the higher timeframe MACD to align (bullish/bearish) with the signal direction. This ensures signals align with the larger trend context, reducing counter-trend trades.
Secondary Timeframe MACD:
The secondary timeframe MACD uses the same calculation parameters (fast, slow, signal, MA type) as the main MACD but from a higher timeframe. This provides context for the current timeframe's MACD position relative to the larger trend. The secondary MACD lines are displayed on the chart when enabled.
Noise Filtering
Noise filtering hides small histogram movements below a threshold. This helps focus on significant moves and reduces chart clutter. When enabled, only histogram movements above the threshold are displayed. Typical threshold values are 0.1-0.5 for most instruments, depending on the instrument's price range and volatility.
Signal Debounce
Signal debounce prevents duplicate MACD cross signals within a short time period. Useful when MACD crosses back and forth quickly, creating multiple signals. Debounce ensures only one signal per period, reducing signal spam during choppy markets. This is separate from alert cooldown, which applies to all alert types.
Background Color Modes
The script offers three background color modes:
- Dynamic: Full MACD heatmap based on OB/OS conditions, confidence, and momentum. Provides rich visual feedback.
- Monotone: Soft neutral background but still allows overlays (OB/OS zones). Keeps the chart clean without overpowering candles.
- Off: No MACD background (only overlays and plots). Maximum chart cleanliness.
When OB/OS background colors are enabled, they are drawn on top of the main background to ensure visibility.
Statistics Table
A real-time statistics table displays current MACD values, signal strength, distance from zero line, secondary timeframe alignment, volume confirmation status, and all active filter statuses. The table dynamically adjusts to show only enabled features, keeping it clean and relevant. The table position can be configured (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Performance Statistics Table
An optional performance statistics table shows comprehensive filter diagnostics:
- Total buy/sell signals (raw crossover count before filters)
- Filtered buy/sell signals (signals that passed all filters)
- Overall pass rates (percentage of signals that passed filters)
- Rejected signals count
- Filter-by-filter rejection diagnostics showing which filters rejected how many signals
This table helps optimize filter settings by showing which filters are most restrictive and how they impact signal frequency. The diagnostics format shows rejections as "X B / Y S" (X buy signals rejected, Y sell signals rejected) or "Disabled" if the filter is not active.
Alert System
The script includes separate alert conditions for each signal type:
- MACD Cross: MACD line crosses above/below Signal line (with or without secondary confirmation)
- Zero-Line Cross: MACD crosses above/below zero
- Divergence: Regular and hidden divergence detections
- Secondary Timeframe: Higher timeframe MACD crosses
- Histogram MA Cross: Histogram crosses above/below its moving average
- Histogram Zero Cross: Histogram crosses above/below zero
- StochMACD: StochMACD overbought/oversold entries and %K/%D crosses
- Histogram BB: Histogram touches/breaks Bollinger Bands
- Volume Events: Volume climax and dry-up detections
- OB/OS: MACD entry/exit from overbought/oversold zones
- Strong Top/Bottom: sTop and sBottom signal detections
Each alert type has its own cooldown system to prevent alert spam. The cooldown requires a minimum number of bars between alerts of the same type, reducing duplicate alerts during volatile periods. Alert types can be filtered to only evaluate specific alert types (All, MACD Cross, Zero Line, Divergence, Secondary Timeframe, Histogram MA, Histogram Zero, StochMACD, Histogram BB, Volume Events, OB/OS, Strong Top/Bottom).
How Components Work Together
MACD crossovers provide the primary signal when the MACD line crosses the Signal line. Zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts and can provide early warning signals. Divergences identify potential reversals before they occur.
Volume confirmation ensures signals occur with sufficient market participation, filtering out low-volume false breakouts. Histogram analysis tools (MA, Bollinger Bands, StochMACD) provide additional context for signal reliability and identify significant histogram zones.
Signal strength combines multiple confirmation factors into a single score, making it easy to filter for only the strongest signals. Cross quality score rates crossover quality to identify high-quality setups. Multi-timeframe confirmation ensures signals align with higher timeframe trends, reducing counter-trend trades.
Usage Instructions
Getting Started:
The default configuration shows MACD(12,26,9) with standard EMA calculations. Start with default settings and observe behavior, then customize settings to match your trading style. You can use configuration presets for quick setup based on your trading style.
Customizing MACD Parameters:
Adjust Fast Length (default 12), Slow Length (default 26), and Signal Length (default 9) based on your trading timeframe. Shorter periods (8,17,7) for faster signals, longer (15,30,12) for smoother signals. You can change the moving average type: EMA for responsiveness, RMA for smoothness, WMA for recent price emphasis.
Price Source Selection:
Choose Close (standard), or alternative sources (HL2, HLC3, OHLC4) for different sensitivity. HL2 uses the midpoint of the high-low range, HLC3 and OHLC4 incorporate more price information.
Histogram Smoothing:
Set smoothing to 1 for raw histogram (no smoothing), or increase (3-5) for smoother histogram that reduces noise. Higher smoothing reduces false signals but may delay signals slightly.
Percentage Mode:
Enable percentage mode when comparing MACD across instruments with different price levels. This normalizes MACD values, making them directly comparable.
Dynamic OB/OS Levels:
The dynamic thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. Adjust the multipliers (default 1.5) to fine-tune sensitivity: higher values (2.0-3.0) = more extreme thresholds (fewer signals), lower (1.0-1.5) = more frequent signals. Adjust the lookback period to control how quickly levels adapt. Enable OB/OS background colors for visual indication of extreme conditions.
Volume Confirmation:
Set volume threshold to 1.0 (default, effectively disabled) or higher (1.2-1.5) for standard confirmation. Higher values require more volume for confirmation. Set to 0.1 to completely disable volume filtering.
Filters:
Enable filters gradually to find your preferred balance. Start with histogram filter for basic momentum alignment, then add signal strength filter (threshold 50+) for moderate signals, then cross quality filter (threshold 50+) for high-quality crossovers. Combine filters for highest-quality signals but expect fewer signals.
Divergence:
Enable divergence detection and adjust pivot lookback parameters. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection using actual pivot points. Hidden divergence is useful for trend-following strategies. Adjust range parameters to filter divergences by time window.
Zero-Line Crosses:
Zero-line cross alerts are automatically available when alerts are enabled. These provide early warning signals for momentum shifts.
Histogram Analysis Tools:
Enable Histogram Moving Average to see histogram trend direction. Enable Histogram Bollinger Bands to identify extreme histogram zones. Enable Stochastic MACD to normalize histogram to 0-100 scale for overbought/oversold identification.
Multi-Timeframe:
Enable secondary timeframe MACD to see higher timeframe context. Enable secondary confirmation to require higher timeframe alignment for signals.
Signal Strength:
Signal strength is automatically calculated and displayed in the statistics table. Use signal strength filter to only accept signals above a threshold (e.g., 50 for moderate, 70+ for strong signals only).
Smart Label Placement:
Configure label placement settings to control label appearance and quality:
- Label Strength Minimum (%): Set threshold (default 75%) to show only strong signals. Higher = fewer, stronger labels
- Label Spacing Multiplier: Adjust spacing (default 1.5x) for better distribution. Higher = more spacing between labels
- Recovery/Decline Confirm (%): Set confirmation requirement (default 15%). Higher = more confirmation, fewer labels
- Enforce Zero Line Polarity: Enable (default) to ensure Buy labels only appear when tracked extreme was below zero, Sell labels only when above zero
- Historical Lookback: Adjust search period (default 20 bars) for finding true extremes. Higher = more history analyzed
Cross Quality:
Cross quality score is automatically calculated for crossovers. Use cross quality filter to only accept high-quality crossovers (threshold 50+ for moderate, 70+ for high quality).
Alerts:
Set up alerts for your preferred signal types. Enable alert cooldown (default enabled, 5 bars) to prevent alert spam. Use alert type filter to only evaluate specific alert types (All, MACD Cross, Zero Line, Divergence, Secondary Timeframe, Histogram MA, Histogram Zero, StochMACD, Histogram BB, Volume Events, OB/OS, Strong Top/Bottom). Each signal type has its own alert condition, so you can be selective about which signals trigger alerts.
Visual Elements and Signal Markers
The script uses various visual markers to indicate signals and conditions:
- MACD Line: Green when above signal (bullish), red when below (bearish) if dynamic colors enabled. Optional black outline for enhanced visibility
- Signal Line: Orange line with optional black outline for enhanced visibility
- Histogram: Color-coded based on direction and momentum (green for bullish rising, lime for bullish falling, red for bearish falling, orange for bearish rising)
- Zero Line: Horizontal reference line at MACD = 0
- Fill to Zero: Green/red semi-transparent fill between MACD line and zero line showing bullish/bearish territory
- Fill Between OB/OS: Blue semi-transparent fill between overbought/oversold thresholds highlighting neutral zone
- OB/OS Background Colors: Background coloring when MACD enters overbought/oversold zones
- Background Colors: Dynamic or monotone backgrounds indicating MACD state, or custom chart background
- Divergence Labels: "🐂" for bullish, "🐻" for bearish, "H Bull" for hidden bullish, "H Bear" for hidden bearish
- Divergence Lines: Colored lines connecting pivot points when divergences are detected
- Volume Climax Markers: ⚡ symbol for extremely high volume
- Volume Dry-Up Markers: 💧 symbol for extremely low volume
- Buy/Sell Strength Labels: Show signal strength percentage (e.g., "Buy Strength: 75%")
- Strong Top/Bottom Labels: "sTop" and "sBottom" for extreme level recoveries
- Secondary MACD Lines: Purple lines showing higher timeframe MACD
- Histogram MA: Orange line showing histogram moving average
- Histogram BB: Blue bands around histogram showing extreme zones
- StochMACD Lines: %K and %D lines with overbought/oversold thresholds
- Regression Forecast: Dotted blue lines extending forward with optional confidence bands
Signal Priority and Interpretation
Signals are generated independently and can occur simultaneously. Higher-priority signals generally indicate stronger setups:
1. MACD Cross with Multiple Filters - Highest priority: Requires MACD crossover plus all enabled filters (histogram, signal strength, cross quality) and secondary timeframe confirmation if enabled. These are the most reliable signals.
2. Zero-Line Cross - High priority: Indicates momentum shift. Can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line.
3. Divergence Signals - Medium-High priority: Pivot-based divergence is more reliable than simple divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal.
4. MACD Cross with Basic Filters - Medium priority: MACD crosses signal line with basic histogram filter. Less reliable alone but useful when combined with other confirmations.
Best practice: Wait for multiple confirmations. For example, a MACD crossover combined with divergence, volume confirmation, and secondary timeframe alignment provides the strongest setup.
Chart Requirements
For proper script functionality and compliance with TradingView requirements, ensure your chart displays:
- Symbol name: The trading pair or instrument name should be visible
- Timeframe: The chart timeframe should be clearly displayed
- Script name: "Ultimate MACD " should be visible in the indicator title
These elements help traders understand what they're viewing and ensure proper script identification. The script automatically includes this information in the indicator title and chart labels.
Performance Considerations
The script is optimized for performance:
- Calculations use efficient Pine Script functions (ta.ema, ta.sma, etc.) which are optimized by TradingView
- Conditional execution: Features only calculate when enabled
- Label management: Old labels are automatically deleted to prevent accumulation
- Array management: Divergence label arrays are limited to prevent memory accumulation
The script should perform well on all timeframes. On very long historical data with many enabled features, performance may be slightly slower, but it remains usable.
Known Limitations and Considerations
- Dynamic OB/OS levels can vary significantly based on recent MACD volatility. In very volatile markets, levels may be wider; in calm markets, they may be narrower.
- Volume confirmation requires sufficient historical volume data. On new instruments or very short timeframes, volume calculations may be less reliable.
- Higher timeframe MACD uses request.security() which may have slight delays on some data feeds.
- Stochastic MACD requires the histogram to have sufficient history. Very short periods on new charts may produce less reliable StochMACD values initially.
- Divergence detection requires sufficient historical data to identify pivot points. Very short lookback periods may produce false positives.
Practical Use Cases
The indicator can be configured for different trading styles and timeframes:
Swing Trading:
Use MACD(12,26,9) with secondary timeframe confirmation. Enable divergence detection. Use signal strength filter (threshold 50+) and cross quality filter (threshold 50+) for higher-quality signals. Enable histogram analysis tools for additional context.
Day Trading:
Use MACD(8,17,7) or use "Day Trading" preset with minimal histogram smoothing for faster signals. Enable zero-line cross alerts for early signals. Use volume confirmation with threshold 1.2-1.5. Enable histogram MA for momentum tracking.
Trend Following:
Use MACD(12,26,9) or longer periods (15,30,12) for smoother signals. Enable secondary timeframe confirmation for trend alignment. Hidden divergence signals are useful for trend continuation entries. Use cross quality filter to identify high-quality crossovers.
Reversal Trading:
Focus on divergence detection (pivot-based for accuracy) combined with zero-line crosses. Enable volume confirmation. Use histogram Bollinger Bands to identify extreme histogram zones. Enable StochMACD for overbought/oversold identification.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Enable secondary timeframe MACD to see context from larger timeframes. For example, use daily MACD on hourly charts to understand the larger trend context. Enable secondary confirmation to require higher timeframe alignment for signals.
Practical Tips and Best Practices
Getting Started:
Start with default settings and observe MACD behavior. The default configuration (MACD 12,26,9 with EMA) is balanced and works well across different markets. After observing behavior, customize settings to match your trading style. Consider using configuration presets for quick setup.
Reducing Repainting:
All signals are based on confirmed bars, minimizing repainting. The script uses confirmed bar data for all calculations to ensure backtesting accuracy.
Signal Quality:
MACD crosses with multiple filters provide the highest-quality signals because they require alignment across multiple indicators. These signals have lower frequency but higher reliability. Use signal strength scores to identify the strongest signals (70+). Use cross quality scores to identify high-quality crossovers (70+).
Filter Combinations:
Start with histogram filter for basic momentum alignment, then add signal strength filter for moderate signals, then cross quality filter for high-quality crossovers. Combining all filters significantly reduces false signals but also reduces signal frequency. Find your balance based on your risk tolerance.
Volume Filtering:
Set volume threshold to 1.0 (default, effectively disabled) or lower to effectively disable volume filtering if you trade instruments with unreliable volume data or want to test without volume confirmation. Standard confirmation uses 1.2-1.5 threshold.
MACD Period Selection:
Standard MACD(12,26,9) provides balanced signals suitable for most trading. Shorter periods (8,17,7) for faster signals, longer (15,30,12) for smoother signals. Adjust based on your timeframe and trading style. Consider using configuration presets for optimized settings.
Moving Average Type:
EMA provides balanced responsiveness with smoothness. RMA is smoother and less responsive. WMA gives more weight to recent prices. SMA gives equal weight to all periods. Choose based on your preference for responsiveness vs. smoothness.
Divergence:
Pivot-based divergence is more reliable than simple divergence because it uses actual pivot points. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal, useful for trend-following strategies. Adjust pivot lookback parameters to control sensitivity.
Dynamic Thresholds:
Dynamic OB/OS thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. In volatile markets, thresholds widen; in calm markets, they narrow. Adjust the multipliers to fine-tune sensitivity. Enable OB/OS background colors for visual indication.
Zero-Line Crosses:
Zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts and can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line. Enable alerts for zero-line crosses to catch these early signals.
Alert Management:
Enable alert cooldown (default enabled, 5 bars) to prevent alert spam. Use alert type filter to only evaluate specific alert types. Signal debounce (default enabled, 3 bars) prevents duplicate MACD cross signals during choppy markets.

• Real-time Tracking: Monitors each wickless candle until price revisits its opening level
• Visual Indicators:
- Labels show "WL↑" or "WL↓" with bars count when revisited (or "N/A" if pending)
- Horizontal lines mark price levels (gray dashed = pending, green solid = revisited)
• Comprehensive Statistics Table:
- Total wickless candles detected
- Revisit rate percentage
- Min/Max/Average bars until revisit
- Pending count
• History Limit: Configure how far back to analyze (default: 500 bars)
• Customizable: Adjust colors, toggle labels/lines/table, reposition statistics
USE CASES:
• Identify potential support/resistance levels from momentum candles
• Measure how often price fills "fair value gaps" or inefficiencies
• Track mean reversion patterns after strong momentum moves
• Backtest the reliability of wickless candle levels as trading zones
SETTINGS:
• Wick Tolerance: Allow small wicks due to broker spread (e.g., 0.0001 for forex)
• History Limit: Number of bars to analyze (older candles are hidden)

Futures Ultra CVD (Pure )Futures Ultra CVD (Pure)
Futures Ultra CVD (Pure) is a volume-driven Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator designed to expose real buying and selling pressure behind price movement. Unlike price-only indicators, this script analyzes how volume is distributed within each bar to determine whether aggressive buyers or sellers are in control, then tracks how that pressure evolves over time.
This version is intentionally pure and ungated: it does not rely on external symbols, market filters, session bias, or macro confirmation. All signals are derived strictly from price, volume, and delta behavior of the active chart, making it suitable for futures, equities, crypto, and FX.
Core Concept: How CVD Is Calculated
For each bar, volume is split into buying pressure and selling pressure using the bar’s price position:
Buying volume increases as price closes closer to the high
Selling volume increases as price closes closer to the low
The difference between buying and selling volume forms Delta:
Positive delta = net aggressive buying
Negative delta = net aggressive selling
This delta is then accumulated into Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) using one of three user-selectable modes:
Total – running cumulative sum of all delta values
Periodic – rolling sum over a fixed lookback period
EMA – smoothed cumulative delta using an exponential average
This flexibility allows traders to choose between raw order-flow tracking or smoother, trend-like behavior depending on timeframe and instrument.
Visual Structure & Histogram Logic
The CVD is displayed as a column histogram, not a line, to emphasize momentum and pressure shifts.
Enhanced coloring provides additional context:
Brighter green/red bars indicate increasing momentum
Muted colors indicate stalling or weakening pressure
Optional footprint-style highlights appear when buy or sell volume overwhelms the opposite side by a user-defined imbalance factor
This allows traders to visually distinguish:
Strength vs weakness
Continuation vs exhaustion
Absorption and aggressive participation
Built-In Order Flow Signals
The script automatically detects and labels key order-flow events:
Strong Delta
Triggered when delta exceeds a user-defined threshold, highlighting unusually aggressive buying or selling.
Delta Surge
Detects sudden expansion in delta compared to the prior bar, often associated with breakout attempts or liquidation events.
Zero-Line Crosses
Marks transitions between net bullish and bearish participation as CVD crosses above or below zero.
CVD Continuation Logic (Trend Confirmation)
Beyond raw delta, the script evaluates CVD structure to identify continuation conditions:
A bullish continuation requires:
Positive and rising CVD
Strong buy delta
Confirmation from at least one of the following:
CVD above its EMA and SMA
Bullish price expansion
Sustained positive delta pressure
Bearish continuation follows the inverse logic.
These continuation signals are designed to confirm participation strength, not predict reversals.
Conflict Detection (Divergence Warning)
The indicator also flags conflict conditions, where:
Strong buying occurs while CVD remains negative
Strong selling occurs while CVD remains positive
These scenarios often precede failed breakouts, absorption zones, or short-term reversals and can be used as cautionary signals.
Alerts & Practical Use
All major events include built-in alerts:
Strong delta
Delta surge
CVD continuations
Zero-line crosses
Buy/sell imbalances
Conflict signals
Alerts can be set to trigger on bar close or intrabar in real time, depending on trader preference.
How Traders Typically Use This Indicator
Confirm breakouts with delta participation
Validate trends using CVD continuation instead of price alone
Identify absorption or exhaustion via conflicts and imbalances
Combine with price structure, VWAP, or market profile tools
This script is not a trading system by itself. It is a decision-support tool designed to reveal what price alone cannot: who is actually in control of the market.
On-Chart Symbols & What They Mean
This script uses a small number of visual symbols to communicate order-flow events clearly and consistently. All symbols are derived directly from the Cumulative Volume Delta calculations described above.
Δ+ (Green Up Arrow)
Strong Buy Delta
Indicates that buying pressure on the current bar exceeded the Strong Delta Threshold
Represents aggressive market buying dominating selling volume
Often appears during breakouts, trend acceleration, or initiative buying
This symbol does not imply direction by itself; it only confirms strong buyer participation.
Δ− (Red Down Arrow)
Strong Sell Delta
Indicates that selling pressure on the current bar exceeded the Strong Delta Threshold
Represents aggressive market selling dominating buying volume
Often appears during breakdowns, liquidation events, or initiative selling
Like Δ+, this symbol measures participation strength, not trade direction.
↑ (Green Label Up)
CVD Bullish Continuation
Appears when all of the following are present:
CVD is positive and increasing
Strong buy delta is detected
At least one confirmation condition is met:
CVD is above its EMA and SMA
Price shows bullish expansion
Consecutive positive delta bars (sustained buying pressure)
This symbol highlights trend continuation supported by volume, not a reversal signal.
↓ (Red Label Down)
CVD Bearish Continuation
Appears when:
CVD is negative and decreasing
Strong sell delta is detected
At least one confirmation condition is met:
CVD is below its EMA and SMA
Price shows bearish expansion
Consecutive negative delta bars (sustained selling pressure)
This indicates bearish continuation with participation confirmation.
Cyan / Orange Histogram Bars
Footprint-Style Volume Imbalance
Cyan bars indicate buy volume exceeds sell volume by the imbalance factor
Orange bars indicate sell volume exceeds buy volume by the imbalance factor
These bars highlight areas where one side is overwhelming the other, often associated with absorption, initiative moves, or failed auctions.
Bright vs Muted Histogram Colors
CVD Momentum State
Bright colors = CVD increasing in the direction of its current bias
Muted colors = CVD losing momentum or stalling
This allows quick visual identification of strengthening vs weakening participation.
Conflict Alerts (No Symbol by Default)
Delta vs CVD Disagreement
These conditions trigger alerts (but no fixed chart icon):
Strong buying while CVD remains negative
Strong selling while CVD remains positive
Conflicts often signal absorption, trap conditions, or short-term exhaustion.
Important Usage Notes
All symbols are informational, not trade entries.
Signals are calculated from price-based volume distribution, not true bid/ask data.
Results depend on the quality of volume data provided by the exchange and TradingView.
Adaptive Scaled LevelsThis indicator allows users to manually define a list of price levels (e.g., round or psychological numbers) and automatically scales them to fit any asset's current price range using an intelligent anchor point. It then plots dynamic horizontal zones ideal for identifying potential supply/demand or reaction areas.

Users enter a comma-separated list of price levels via a text area input (default example: 50,100,...,1400). These act as a "template" grid – often round numbers, psychological levels, or custom targets.
Auto-Scaling Logic (Core Innovation)
When enabled:
Calculates the average of the input list.
Determines a smart anchor price:
Default (Lock = 0): Close price of the highest-volume bar in the last user-defined lookback period (default 200 bars), fetched from a selectable timeframe (default Daily) via request.security().
Override: User can manually lock the anchor to any fixed price.
Computes a scale factor = Anchor / List Average.
Multiplies every input level by this factor to adapt the entire grid to the current market (e.g., scales low-price templates to BTC's 60k+ range).
Zone Construction
For each scaled level:
Creates a horizontal box centered on the level.
Height = Level × user-defined percentage (default 0.5%) for volatility-adjusted thickness.
Zones extend infinitely to the right for continuous reference.
Supply/Demand Coloring
Levels above current close: Supply color (default light gray) – potential resistance/overhead supply.
Levels below current close: Demand color (default cyan) – potential support/underlying demand.
Visual Elements
Transparent filled boxes with borders.
Optional labels showing "S" (Supply) or "D" (Demand) plus exact price.
Clean, non-cluttering design – redraws only on last bar for performance.
How to Use
This tool is perfect for plotting adaptive psychological/round number grids across any asset without manual adjustment.
Common Template: Use evenly spaced round numbers (e.g., 100 increments) as input – the script handles scaling.
BTC/ETH/Crypto: Enable auto-scaling with Daily timeframe anchor for high-volume alignment (often near fair value).
Forex/Stocks: Lower zone height % for tighter zones; use shorter lookback or lock anchor for stability.
Trading Applications:
Anticipate reactions/bounces at scaled levels (confluence with price action, volume, or order blocks).
Supply zones (above price): Potential short entries or take-profit targets.
Demand zones (below price): Potential long entries or stop-loss placement below.
Override anchor for specific analysis (e.g., lock to all-time high).
Best Practices: Combine with trend direction, higher-timeframe structure, or liquidity concepts for higher-probability setups.
Highly versatile – works on any timeframe/asset, especially volatile ones like cryptocurrencies where fixed levels quickly become irrelevant.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.
DDDDD : EMA Pack (Matched Colors + MTF)📌 DDDDD : EMA Pack (Matched Colors + MTF)
🔹 Concept
DDDDD : EMA Pack is a clean and minimal Exponential Moving Average (EMA) overlay designed for trend structure analysis and multi-timeframe context.
This indicator focuses on visual clarity, consistent color mapping, and optional MTF EMA projection, allowing traders to read market structure without clutter or signal noise.
It is not an entry or signal generator, but a trend and regime visualization tool.
🔹 Logic
The script plots a fixed set of EMAs commonly used to define short-term momentum, intermediate trend, and long-term bias:
EMA 5
EMA 10
EMA 25
EMA 50
EMA 75
EMA 200
Each EMA is calculated using the standard exponential moving average formula.
If a higher timeframe is selected, the EMA is calculated on that timeframe and projected onto the current chart using request.security().
🔹 Methodology
Users may select:
Source price (default: close)
EMA timeframe
Empty = current chart timeframe
Any higher timeframe = true MTF EMA projection
All EMA colors are manually matched and fixed to maintain visual consistency across markets and timeframes.
Line thickness is kept uniform to avoid visual hierarchy bias.
This design ensures the indicator remains purely structural, without repainting logic, smoothing tricks, or adaptive parameters.
🔹 How to Use
Use EMA alignment and spacing to assess:
Trend direction
Trend strength
Compression vs expansion
Higher-timeframe EMA projection can be used as:
Dynamic support/resistance
Trend filter
Regime context for lower-timeframe execution
This indicator works best when combined with:
Price action
Market structure
Separate entry/exit logic of your own system
⚠️ This indicator does not provide buy/sell signals and should not be used alone for trade execution.
🔹 Notes
No repainting beyond standard MTF behavior
No performance or profitability claims
Designed for discretionary and systematic traders
Suitable for stocks, crypto, forex, and indices
Advanced Multi-Level S/R ZonesAdvanced Multi-Level S/R Zones: The Comprehensive Guide
1. Introduction: The Evolution of Support & Resistance:
Support and Resistance (S/R) is the backbone of technical analysis. However, traditional methods of drawing these levels are often plagued by subjectivity. Two traders looking at the same chart will often draw two different lines. Furthermore, standard indicators often treat every price point equally, ignoring the critical context of Volume and Time.
The Advanced Multi-Level S/R Zones script represents a paradigm shift. It moves away from subjective line drawing and toward Quantitative Zoning. By utilizing statistical measures of variability (Standard Deviation, MAD, IQR) combined with Volume-Weighting and Time-Decay algorithms, this tool identifies where price is mathematically most likely to react. It treats S/R not as thin lines, but as dynamic zones of probability.
2. Core Logic and Mathematical Foundation:
To understand how to use this tool optimally, one must understand the "engine" under the hood. The script operates on four distinct pillars of logic:
A. Session-Based Data Collection:
The script does not look at every single tick. Instead, it aggregates data into "Sessions" (daily bars by default logic). It extracts the High, Low, and Total Volume for every session within the user-defined lookback period. This filters out intraday noise and focuses on the macro structure of the market.
B. Adaptive Statistical Variability:
Most Bollinger Band-style indicators use Standard Deviation (StdDev) to measure width. However, StdDev is heavily influenced by outliers (extreme wicks). This script offers a sophisticated Adaptive Method-Skewness Detection: The script calculates the skewness of the price distribution. Adaptive Selection: If the data is highly skewed (lots of outliers, typical in Crypto), it switches to MAD (Median Absolute Deviation). MAD is robust and ignores outliers. If the data is moderately skewed, it uses IQR (Interquartile Range). If the data is normal (Gaussian), it uses StdDev.
Benefit: This ensures the zone widths are accurate regardless of whether you are trading a stable Forex pair or a volatile Altcoin.
C. The Weighting Engine (Volume + Time)
Not all price history is equal. This script assigns a "Weight Score" to every session based on two factors:
Volume Weighting: Sessions with massive volume (institutional activity) are given higher importance. A high formed on low volume is less significant than a high formed on peak volume.
Time Decay: Recent price action is more relevant than price action from 50 bars ago. The script applies a decay factor (default 0.85). This means a session from yesterday has 100% impact, while a session from 10 days ago has significantly less influence on the zone calculation.
D. Clustering Algorithm
Once the data is weighted, the script runs a clustering algorithm. It looks for price levels where multiple session Highs (for Resistance) or Lows (for Support) congregate.
It requires a minimum number of points to form a zone (User Input: minPoints).
It merges nearby levels based on the Cluster Separation Factor.
This results in "Primary," "Secondary," and "Tertiary" zones based on the strength and quantity of data points in that cluster.
3. Detailed Features and Inputs Breakdown:
Group 1: Main Settings
Lookback Sessions (Default: 10): Defines how far back the script looks for pivots. A higher number (e.g., 50) creates long-term structural zones. A lower number (e.g., 5) creates short-term scalping zones.
Variability Method (Adaptive): As described above, leave this on "Adaptive" for the best results across different assets.
Zone Width Multiplier (Default: 0.75): Controls the vertical thickness of the zones. Increase this to 1.0 or 1.5 for highly volatile assets to ensure you catch the wicks.
Minimum Points per Zone: The strictness filter. If set to 3, a price level must be hit 3 times within the lookback to generate a zone. Higher numbers = fewer, but stronger zones.
Group 2: Weighting
Volume-Weighted Zones: Crucial for identifying "Smart Money" levels. Keep this TRUE.
Time Decay: Ensures the zones update dynamically. If price moves away from a level for a long time, the zone will fade in significance.
ATR-Normalized Zone Width: This is a dynamic volatility filter. If TRUE, the zone width expands and contracts based on the Average True Range. This is vital for maintaining accuracy during market breakouts or crashes.
Group 3: Zone Strength & Scoring
The script calculates a "Score" (0-100%) for every zone based on:
-Point Count: More hits = higher score.
-Touches: How many times price wicked into the zone recently.
-Intact Status: Has the zone been broken?
-Weight: Volume/Time weight of the constituent points.
-Track Zone Touches: Looks back n bars to see how often price respected this level.
-Touch Threshold: The sensitivity for counting a "touch."
Group 4: Visuals & Display
Extend Bars: How far to the right the boxes are drawn.
Show Labels: Displays the Score, Tier (Primary/Secondary), and Status (Retesting).
Detect Pivot Zones (Overlap): This is a killer feature. It detects where a Support Zone overlaps with a Resistance Zone.
Significance: These are "Flip Zones" (Old Resistance becomes New Support). They are colored differently (Orange by default) and represent high-probability entry areas.
Group 5: Signals & Alerts
Entry Signals: Plots Buy/Sell labels when price rejects a zone.
Detect Break & Retest: specifically looks for the "Break -> Pullback -> Bounce" pattern, labeled as "RETEST BUY/SELL".
Proximity Alert: Triggers when price gets within x% of a zone.
4. Understanding the Visuals (Interpreting the Chart)
When you load the script, you will see several visual elements. Here is how to read them:
The Boxes (Zones)
Red Shades: Resistance Zones.
Dark Red (Solid Border): Primary Resistance. The strongest wall.
Lighter Red (Dashed Border): Secondary/Tertiary. Weaker, but still relevant.
Green Shades: Support Zones.
Dark Green (Solid Border): Primary Support. The strongest floor.
Orange Boxes: Pivot Zones. These are areas where price has historically reacted as both support and resistance. These are the "Line in the Sand" for trend direction.
The Labels & Emojis
The script assigns emojis to zone strength:
🔥 (Fire): Score > 80%. A massive level. Expect a strong reaction.
⭐ (Star): Score > 60%. A solid structural level.
✓ (Check): Score > 40%. A standard level.
"⟳ RETESTING": Appears when a zone was broken, and price is currently pulling back to test it from the other side.
The Dashboard (Top Right)
A statistics table provides a "Head-Up Display" for the asset:
High/Low σ (Sigma): The variability of the highs and lows. If High σ is much larger than Low σ, it implies the tops are erratic (wicks) while bottoms are clean (flat).
Method: Shows which statistical method the Adaptive engine selected (e.g., "MAD (auto)").
ATR: Current volatility value used for normalization.
5. Strategies for Optimum Output
To get the most out of this script, you should not just blindly follow the lines. Use these specific strategies:
Strategy A: The "Zone Fade" (Range Trading)
This works best in sideways markets.
Identify a Primary Support (Green) and Primary Resistance (Red).
Wait for price to enter the zone.
Look for the "SUPPORT BOUNCE" or "RESISTANCE REJECTION" signal label.
Entry: Enter against the zone (Buy at support, Sell at resistance).
Stop Loss: Place just outside the zone width. Because the zones are calculated using volatility stats, a break of the zone usually means the trade is invalid.
Strategy B: The "Pivot Flip" (Trend Following)
This is the highest probability setup in trending markets.
Look for an Orange Pivot Zone.
Wait for price to break through a Resistance Zone cleanly.
Wait for the price to return to that zone (which may now turn Orange or act as Support).
Look for the "RETEST BUY" label.
Logic: Old resistance becoming new support is a classic sign of trend continuation. The script automates the detection of this exact geometric phenomenon.
Strategy C: The Volatility Squeeze
Look at the Dashboard. Compare High σ and Low σ.
If the values are dropping rapidly or becoming very small, the zones will contract (become narrow).
Narrow zones indicate a "Squeeze" or compression in price.
Prepare for a violent breakout. Do not fade (trade against) narrow zones; look to trade the breakout.
6. Optimization & Customization Guide
Different markets require different settings. Here is how to tune the script:
For Crypto & Volatile Stocks (Tesla, Nvidia)
Method: Set to Adaptive (Mandatory, as these assets have "Fat Tails").
Multiplier: Increase to 1.0 - 1.25. Crypto wicks are deep; you need wider zones to avoid getting stopped out prematurely.
Lookback: 20-30 sessions. Crypto has a long memory; short lookbacks generate too much noise.
For Forex (EURUSD, GBPJPY)
Method: You can force StdDev or IQR. Forex is more mean-reverting and Gaussian.
Multiplier: Decrease to 0.5 - 0.75. Forex levels are often very precise to the pip.
Volume Weighting: You may turn this OFF for Forex if your broker's volume data is unreliable (since Forex has no centralized volume), though tick volume often works fine.
For Scalping (1m - 15m Timeframes)
Lookback: Decrease to 5-10. You only care about the immediate session history.
Decay Factor: Decrease to 0.5. You want the script to forget about yesterday's price action very quickly.
Touch Lookback: Decrease to 20 bars.
For Swing Trading (4H - Daily Timeframes)
Lookback: Increase to 50.
Decay Factor: Increase to 0.95. Structural levels from weeks ago are still highly relevant.
Min Points: Increase to 3 or 4. Only show levels that have been tested multiple times.
7. Advantages Over Standard Tools:
Feature Standard S/R Indicator, Advanced Multi-Level S/R Calculation, Uses simple Pivots or Fractals, Uses Statistical Distributions (MAD/IQR). Zone Width Arbitrary or Fixed Adaptive based on Volatility & ATR.
Context Ignores Volume Volume Weighted (Smart Money tracking).
Time Relevance Old levels = New levels Time Decay (Recency bias applied).
Overlaps Usually ignores overlaps Detects Pivot Zones (Res/Sup Flip).
Scoring None 0-100% Strength Score per zone.
8. Conclusion:
The Advanced Multi-Level S/R Zones script is not just a drawing tool; it is a statistical analysis engine. By accounting for the skewness of data, the volume behind the moves, and the decay of time, it provides a strictly objective roadmap of the market structure.
For the optimum output, combine the Pivot Zone identification with the Retest Signals. This aligns you with the underlying flow of order blocks and prevents trading against the statistical probabilities of the market.

()
HaP D-RSI is a comprehensive oscillator that powerfully enhances the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator. By adding a 9-period EMA on top of the standard RSI(14), it smooths the momentum for clearer readability, while dynamic area filling between the short RSI(10) and long RSI(14) visually emphasizes trend strength. Its strongest feature is the automatic detection of regular (normal) and hidden positive/negative divergences, marked with clear labels. This provides opportunities to catch both trend reversals and continuations early.The indicator operates in a separate panel and includes overbought/oversold levels (70/30/50). With multi-timeframe support, you can display RSI values from a higher timeframe on your current chart.Main FeaturesDual RSI Calculation: Short-period RSI(10) and long-period RSI(14) are calculated separately.
EMA Smoothing: A 9-period EMA is applied to RSI(14) to reduce noise and clarify signals.
Dynamic Area Filling: Dynamic colored filling between RSI(10) and RSI(14)-EMA (blue tones for bullish, red tones for bearish momentum).
Fixed-intensity area between RSI(10) and RSI(14) (emphasizes trend strength).
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Dashed lines at 70 (overbought), 30 (oversold), and 50 (midline).
Full Divergence Detection:Positive Divergence (pu): Price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low → Potential bullish reversal.
Hidden Positive Divergence (gpu): Trend continuation signal (buying opportunity after pullback).
Negative Divergence (nu): Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high → Potential bearish reversal.
Hidden Negative Divergence (gnu): Bearish trend continuation signal.
Customizable Pivot Settings: Adjust divergence sensitivity with lookback left/right and distance range.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Ability to pull RSI data from a different timeframe.
Usage InstructionsAdd to Chart: When added, it opens a separate RSI panel.
Settings: Change the short RSI (default 10) and long RSI (default 14) periods as needed.
Adjust the EMA period (default 9) to suit your needs.
If the timeframe is left blank, it uses the current chart timeframe; otherwise, select a higher timeframe.
You can toggle divergence types (positive/negative, hidden/regular) on/off.
Increase pivot lookback values for stronger (fewer signals) divergences.
Signal InterpretationBuy Opportunity: When "pu" or "gpu" labels appear (especially around the 30 level).
Sell Opportunity: When "nu" or "gnu" labels appear (especially around the 70 level).
Area filling colors support momentum direction: Blue tones indicate bullish pressure, red tones indicate bearish pressure.
For best results, use in combination with support/resistance levels, volume, or trend filters (e.g., EMA).
Why Use This Indicator?Powerful Divergence Detection: Automatically and accurately captures both regular (reversal) and hidden (continuation) divergences – a feature missing in many standard RSI indicators.
Visual Clarity: Dynamic colored areas and labels ensure you don't miss signals.
Flexibility: Suitable for all markets (stocks, forex, crypto) and timeframes.
Early Warning System: Divergences often signal before price reversals, providing high-probability entries.

Long-term KST (Know Sure Thing)Description
Long-term Know Sure Thing (KST) oscillator, specifically adapted for non-24h markets such as stocks, indices, ETFs and futures.
This version correctly scales the weekly ROC periods based on the actual trading week length and daily session duration of the instrument — making it accurate across different asset classes (European indices, US equities, crypto, etc.).
Key features:
• Fully customizable trading week (5 days for most stock markets, 7 days for crypto/24h markets)
• Customizable daily session length (8.5h for FTSE MIB/DAX, 6.5h for US equities, 24h for crypto/forex)
• Automatically adjusts bar count per week on any chart timeframe (including Weekly)
• Classic Martin Pring KST parameters (10/13/15/20 ROC weeks, 10/13/15/20 SMA weeks, 1-2-3-4 weighting)
• Includes signal line (SMA of KST) and visual fill between KST and signal (green/red)
What is the Long-term KST used for?
The KST (Know Sure Thing) is a momentum oscillator created by Martin Pring to detect major trend changes, confirm the primary trend direction, and identify significant reversals in medium- to long-term cycles (weeks to months).
Main practical uses:
• Major trend reversals: KST crossing above/below signal line
• Primary trend confirmation: KST above/below zero line
• Classic divergences: Price vs KST divergences often precede important tops/bottoms
• Cycle identification: Helps spot the end of multi-month corrections or the start of new bull/bear phases
• Trend-following filter: Stay long when KST > 0 and rising, stay short when KST < 0 and falling
It is especially powerful on major indices (FTSE MIB, DAX, SPX, NDX, RUT, CAC40, Nikkei…) because it captures institutional money flow with fewer, higher-quality signals compared to faster oscillators.
Best used on:
• Daily, 4H, Weekly charts
• European indices (FTSE MIB, DAX, IBEX…)
• US indices/ETFs (SPX, NDX, RUT…)
• Crypto pairs (set week_length=7, session_duration=24h)
Enjoy trading the big-picture momentum!
