FCPO MASTER v6 – Sideway + Breakout + OB + FVG (TUPLE SAFE)TL;DR cepat
1. Gunakan M5 untuk entry & OB/FVG confirmation.
2. Gunakan M15 untuk confirm trend/false breakout.
3. Gunakan H1 untuk bias arah (overall market).
4. Entry hanya bila signal + OB/FVG/candle rejection (script buatkan).
5. SL 5–8 tick, TP 10–25 tick ikut setup (sideway vs breakout).
6. Follow checklist setiap trade — jangan lompat.
________________________________________
Setup awal (1–2 min)
1. Pasang script FCPO Sideway MASTER – OB + Imbalance + Confirmation di TradingView.
2. Timeframes: buka M5, M15, H1 (susun 3 chart atau 1 chart multi-timeframe).
3. Input default: ATR14, Breakout Buffer 5 tick, RangeLen 20, ADX14, TP12, SL8. (Kau boleh tweak nanti).
4. Aktifkan alerts pada BUY Confirm / SELL Confirm / Sideway Buy / Sideway Sell.
________________________________________
Step-by-step trading process
1) Mulakan dengan H1 — tentukan bias HTF
• Lihat H1 untuk jawapan: Trend Up / Down / Sideway.
• Rule ringkas:
o ADX H1 > 20 + price above H1 EMA → bias Bull
o ADX H1 > 20 + price below H1 EMA → bias Bear
o ADX H1 < 20 → market HTF sideway (no strong bias)
Kenapa: H1 bagi kau idea “kalau breakout pada M5, patut follow atau tolak”.
________________________________________
2) Pergi ke M15 — confirm trend & valid breakout
• M15 kena setuju dengan idea breakout.
o Untuk strong breakout: M15 kena tunjuk candle close di atas/bawah range + volume naik.
o Kalau M5 breakout tapi M15 tak setuju (M15 masih sideway) → treat as fakeout. Jangan masuk.
________________________________________
3) M5 — cari entry & confirmation (OB/FVG + candle)
• M5 adalah tempat kau buat keputusan masuk.
• Tunggu script keluarkan Sideway Buy/Sell atau Breakout Buy/Sell.
• CONFIRM entry mesti ada sekurang-kurangnya 1 dari:
o Bull/Bear Order Block searah signal (script detect).
o FVG / Imbalance zone dipenuhi & price retest.
o Candle rejection (pinbar / bearish/bullish engulfing) pada zone.
Jika tiada confirmation → no trade.
________________________________________
4) Checklist sebelum tekan Buy/Sell (MUST)
• H1 bias tidak melawan trade (prefer sama arah).
• M15 confirm breakout / trend or neutral.
• Script keluarkan signal (sideway or breakout).
• OB or FVG atau candle rejection ada.
• ATR kenaikan jika breakout (untuk breakout trade).
• Volume spike jika breakout.
• Risk:SL <= 2% akaun (position sizing).
Kalau semua ticked → boleh entry.
________________________________________
5) Setting SL / TP & position sizing
• Sideway (scalp): SL = 5–8 tick, TP = 8–12 tick.
• Breakout (trend): SL = 8–12 tick, TP = 15–25+ tick (trail later).
• Position sizing: Risk per trade 1–2%.
o Lot size = (Account Risk RM × 1 tick value) / (SL ticks × tickValue) — (kalau kau gunakan fixed tick value, adjust ikut lot).
(Script tunjuk SL & TP label — follow itu.)
________________________________________
6) Entry types
• A. Sideway Reversal (M5)
o Signal: Sideway Buy / Sideway Sell
o Confirm: OB/FVG or rejection candle at range bottom/top
o Trade: scalp target 8–12 tick, tight SL 5–8 tick
• B. Breakout (M5 entry, M15 confirm)
o Signal: Breakout Buy/Sell (Strong)
o Confirm: ATR expanding + volume spike + M15 alignment
o Trade: trend follow, TP 15–25 tick, trailing stop active
• C. Retest Entry
o Breakout happens, price returns to retest range / OB / FVG → wait for rejection candle then enter. Safer.
________________________________________
7) Trailing & exit rules
• Jika useTrail = true script plots trailing stop (ATR × multiplier).
• Exit rules:
1. Hit TP → close.
2. Hit SL → close.
3. If trailing stop hit → close.
4. If opposing confirmed signal muncul (e.g., SELL confirm while long) → consider close early.
5. If H1 bias flips strongly vs trade → tighten stop or close.
________________________________________
8) Multiple signals & scaling
• Never add to losing position (no averaging down).
• If want scale-in on confirmed trend: add 1 partial size after price moves +10–12 tick in favor and shows continuation candle + no bearish OB/FVG.
• Keep aggregated risk within your max (2–3%).
________________________________________
9) Example trade walkthrough (concrete)
• RangeHigh = 4065, RangeLow = 4035 (contoh).
• Market sideway M5.
Case A — Sideway Sell:
1. Price touches 4064–4065, script shows sidewaySell.
2. Lihat OB: ada bear OB zone di 4062–4066 → confirm.
3. Candle rejection (bearish pinbar) muncul → enter SELL M5.
4. Set SL = 5 tick above rangeHigh = 4070, TP = 10 tick → 4055.
5. Trail jika price turun > 8 tick: aktifkan trailing.
6. Close at TP or trail/SL.
Case B — Breakout Buy:
1. Price closes above 4065 + 5 tick buffer = 4070 on M5. Script shows trueBreakUp.
2. M15 shows candle close above M15 resistance + volume spike → confirm.
3. Enter BUY, SL = 8 tick below entry, TP initial 20 tick, trail with ATR×1.5.
4. Move stop to breakeven after +10 tick, scale out half at +12 tick, leave rest to trail.
________________________________________
10) Journal & review
• Semua trade: record entry time, TF, reason (which confirmations), SL/TP, result, lesson.
• Weekly review: check which confirmation worked best (OB vs FVG vs candle) and tweak settings.
________________________________________
11) Tweaks / optimisations cepat
• Jika terlalu banyak false sideway signals → kurangkan touchDist ke 2 tick.
• Kalau fakeout breakout banyak → tambah tickBuf ke 6–8.
• Nak lebih konservatif → cuma trade breakout yang juga setuju M15.
________________________________________
12) Alerts & execution (practical)
• Pasang alert pada BUY Confirm / SELL Confirm (script).
• Kalau kau guna broker yang support one-click order, siap sediakan template order (SL/TP default).
• Kalau manual, bila alert masuk: buka M5, cepat confirm OB/FVG & candle rejection → entry.
________________________________________
Quick reference table (handy)
• TF utama entry: M5
• Confirm mid-TF: M15
• Bias HTF: H1
• Sideway SL/TP: SL 5–8, TP 8–12
• Breakout SL/TP: SL 8–12, TP 15–25+
• Mandatory confirmation: (Script signal) + (OB or FVG or candle)

## 🎯 THE TIER SYSTEM
The tier system classifies candles by **point movement** to determine trade management:
| Tier | Points | Action | Expected R:R |
|:----:|:------:|:------:|:------------:|
| 🥇 **S-TIER** | 100+ | HOLD LONGER | 2:1+ |
| 🥈 **A-TIER** | 50-99 | HOLD A BIT | 1.5:1 |
| 🥉 **B-TIER** | 10-49 | CLOSE QUICK | 1:1 |
| ❌ **NO TIER** | < 10 | NO TRADE | — |
---
## ✅ SIGNAL REQUIREMENTS
**ALL conditions must be TRUE for a signal:**
```
SIGNAL = TIER + VOLUME + DELTA + DIRECTION + SESSION
☐ Points ≥ 10 (minimum B-tier)
☐ Volume ≥ 1.3x average
☐ Delta dominance ≥ 55%
☐ Candle direction = Delta direction
☐ In session (if filter ON)
ANY FALSE = NO SIGNAL = NO TRADE
```
---
## 📊 VOLUME DOMINANCE ANALYSIS
This is the **core edge** of GRA v5. We use intrabar analysis to determine who is in control:
```
VOLUME ANALYSIS BREAKDOWN
Total Volume = Buy Volume + Sell Volume
Buy Volume: Who pushed price UP within the bar
Sell Volume: Who pushed price DOWN within the bar
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
Buy Dominance = Buy Volume / Total Volume
Sell Dominance = Sell Volume / Total Volume
≥ 55% = ONE SIDE IN CONTROL
≥ 65% = STRONG DOMINANCE (high conviction)
```
**Direction Confirmation Matrix:**
| Candle | Delta | Signal |
|:-------|:------|:-------|
| 🟢 Bullish | 55%+ Buyers | ✅ LONG |
| 🟢 Bullish | 55%+ Sellers | ❌ Trap |
| 🔴 Bearish | 55%+ Sellers | ✅ SHORT |
| 🔴 Bearish | 55%+ Buyers | ❌ Trap |
---
## 🕐 SESSION CONTEXT
### Initial Balance (IB) Framework
The **first hour** of each session establishes the IB range. Institutions use this for the day's framework.
```
SESSION WINDOWS (Eastern Time):
LONDON:
├── IB Period: 03:00 - 04:00 ← Range established
├── Trade Window: 03:00 - 05:00 ← Best signals
└── Extension Targets: 1.5x, 2.0x
NY:
├── IB Period: 09:30 - 10:30 ← Range established
├── Trade Window: 09:30 - 11:30 ← Best signals
└── Extension Targets: 1.5x, 2.0x
```
### IB Breakout Signals
```
L▲ / L▼ = London IB Breakout (Blue)
N▲ / N▼ = NY IB Breakout (Orange)
Confirmation Required:
☐ Close beyond IB level (not just wick)
☐ Impulse candle (body > 60% of range)
☐ Volume > 1.3x average
```
**IB Statistics:**
- 97% of days break either IB high or low
- 1.5x extension = first profit target
- 2.0x extension = full range target
- ~66% of London sessions sweep Asian high/low first

## 📈 VIRTUAL VOLUME PROFILE ZONES
GRA v5 calculates volume profile zones **without drawing the profile**, giving you the key levels:
### Zone Types
| Zone | Background | Meaning | Action |
|:-----|:-----------|:--------|:-------|
| **HVN** | 🔵 Blue | High Volume Node | S/R zone, expect consolidation |
| **LVN** | 🟡 Yellow | Low Volume Node | Breakout zone, fast acceleration |
| **POC** | 🟣 Purple dots | Point of Control | Institutional fair value |
| **VAH/VAL** | 🟣 Purple lines | Value Area edges | S/R boundaries |
### How to Use
```
ENTERING A TRADE:
At HVN:
├── Expect price to consolidate
├── Look for rejection/absorption
└── Better for reversals
At LVN:
├── Expect fast price movement
├── Don't fight the direction
└── Better for breakouts
Near POC:
├── Institutional fair value
├── Strong magnet effect
└── Watch for volume at POC
```
---
## 🔄 MARKET STATE DETECTION
GRA v5 classifies the market into four states using **CVD + Price Action**:
```
CVD Direction
↑ Rising ↓ Falling
┌─────────────┬─────────────┐
Price > EMA20 │ TREND UP │ RETRACE │
│ (Go Long) │ (Pullback) │
├─────────────┼─────────────┤
Price < EMA20 │ RETRACE │ TREND DN │
│ (Pullback) │ (Go Short) │
└─────────────┴─────────────┘
```
| State | Meaning | Action |
|:------|:--------|:-------|
| **TREND UP** | Buyers in control | Trade long, follow signals |
| **TREND DN** | Sellers in control | Trade short, follow signals |
| **RETRACE** | Pullback against trend | Prepare for continuation entry |
| **RANGE** | No clear direction | Reduce size or wait |
---
## 💎 HIGH CONVICTION UPGRADES
When extra conditions align, GRA v5 marks the signal with a **purple diamond**:
```
HIGH CONVICTION = Base Signal + Strong Delta (65%+) + Strong Volume (2x+) + Imbalance State
```
**Action:** Consider upgrading tier for position sizing:
- B-Tier → A-Tier management
- A-Tier → S-Tier management
---

🔥 ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM
Overview
This comprehensive order flow analysis tool combines Volume Profile, Cumulative Delta, and Large Order Detection to identify high-probability trading setups. The script analyzes institutional order flow patterns and volume distribution to pinpoint key levels where price is likely to react.
________________________________________
📊 Core Components & Methodology
1. Volume Profile Analysis
The script constructs a horizontal volume profile by:
• Dividing the price range into configurable rows (default: 20)
• Accumulating volume at each price level over a lookback period (default: 50 bars)
• Separating buy volume (green bars close > open) from sell volume (red bars)
• Identifying three critical levels:
o POC (Point of Control): Price level with highest traded volume - acts as a strong magnet
o VAH/VAL (Value Area High/Low): Contains 70% of total volume - defines fair value zone
o HVN (High Volume Nodes): Resistance zones where institutions accumulated positions
o LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Thin zones that price moves through quickly - ideal targets
Why This Matters: Institutional traders leave footprints through volume. HVN zones show where large players defended levels, making them reliable support/resistance.
________________________________________
2. Cumulative Delta (Order Flow)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure:
• Bar Delta: Difference between buy and sell volume per candle
• Cumulative Delta: Sum of all bar deltas - shows net directional pressure
• Delta Moving Average: Smoothed delta (20-period) to identify trend
• Delta Divergences:
o Bullish: Price makes lower low, but delta makes higher low (absorption at bottom)
o Bearish: Price makes higher high, but delta makes lower high (exhaustion at top)
How It Works: When cumulative delta trends up while price consolidates, it signals accumulation. Delta divergences reveal when smart money is positioned opposite to retail expectations.
________________________________________
3. Large Order Detection
Identifies institutional-sized orders in real-time:
• Compares current bar volume to 20-period moving average
• Flags orders exceeding 2.5x average volume (configurable multiplier)
• Distinguishes bullish (green circles below) vs bearish (red circles above) large orders
Rationale: Sudden volume spikes at key levels indicate institutional participation - the "fuel" needed for breakouts or reversals.
________________________________________
🎯 Trading Signal Logic
Combined Setup Criteria
The script generates SHORT and LONG signals when multiple conditions align:
SHORT Signal Requirements:
1. Price reaches an HVN resistance zone (within 0.2%)
2. Large sell order detected (volume spike + red candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bearish OR bearish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown between signals (prevents overtrading)
LONG Signal Requirements:
1. Price reaches an HVN support zone
2. Large buy order detected (volume spike + green candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bullish OR bullish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown enforced
________________________________________
🔧 Customization Options
Setting - Purpose - Recommendation
Volume Profile Rows - Granularity of level detection - 20 (balanced)
Lookback Period - Historical data analyzed - 50 bars (intraday), 200 (swing)
Large Order Multiplier - Sensitivity to volume spikes - 2.5x (standard), 3.5x (conservative)
HVN Threshold - Resistance zone detection - 1.3 (default)
LVN Threshold - Target zone identification - 0.6 (default)
Divergence Lookback - Pivot detection period - 5 bars (responsive)
________________________________________
📈 Dashboard Indicators
The real-time panel displays:
• POC: Current Point of Control price
• Location: Whether price is at HVN resistance
• Orders: Current large buy/sell activity
• Cumulative Δ: Net order flow value + trend direction
• Divergence: Active bullish/bearish divergences
• Bar Strength: % of candle volume that's directional (>65% = strong)
• SETUP: Current trade signal (LONG/SHORT/WAIT)
________________________________________
🎨 Visual System
• Yellow POC Line: Highest volume level - primary pivot
• Blue Value Area Box: Fair value zone (VAH to VAL)
• Red HVN Zones: Resistance/support from institutional accumulation
• Green LVN Zones: Low-liquidity targets for quick moves
• Volume Bars: Green (buy pressure) vs Red (sell pressure) distribution
• Triangles: LONG (green up) and SHORT (red down) entry signals
• Diamonds: Divergence warnings (cyan=bullish, fuchsia=bearish)
________________________________________
💡 How This Script Is Unique
Unlike standalone volume profile or delta indicators, this script:
1. Synthesizes three complementary methods - volume structure, order flow momentum, and liquidity detection
2. Requires multi-factor confirmation - signals only trigger when price, volume, and delta align at key zones
3. Adapts to market regime - delta filters ensure you're trading with the dominant order flow direction
4. Provides context, not just signals - the dashboard helps you understand why a setup is forming
________________________________________
⚙️ Best Practices
Timeframes:
• 5-15 min: Scalping (use 30-50 bar lookback)
• 1-4 hour: Swing trading (use 100-200 bar lookback)
Risk Management:
• Enter on signal candle close
• Stop loss: Beyond nearest HVN/LVN zone
• Target 1: Next LVN level
• Target 2: Opposite value area boundary
Filters:
• Avoid signals during major news events
• Require bar delta strength >65% for aggressive entries
• Wait for delta MA cross confirmation in ranging markets
________________________________________
🚨 Alerts Available
• Long Setup Trigger
• Short Setup Trigger
• Bullish/Bearish Divergence Detection
• Large Buy/Sell Order Execution
________________________________________
📚 Educational Context
This methodology is based on principles used by professional order flow traders:
• Market Profile Theory: Volume distribution reveals fair value
• Tape Reading: Large orders show institutional intent
• Auction Theory: Price seeks areas of liquidity imbalance (LVN zones)
The script automates pattern recognition that discretionary traders spend years learning to identify manually.
________________________________________
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a trading tool, not a trading system. It identifies high-probability setups based on order flow analysis but requires proper risk management, market context, and trader discretion. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

## 💡 How This Script Is Unique
Unlike standalone volume profile or delta indicators, this script:
1. **Synthesizes three complementary methods** - volume structure, order flow momentum, and liquidity detection
2. **Requires multi-factor confirmation** - signals only trigger when price, volume, and delta align at key zones
3. **Adapts to market regime** - delta filters ensure you're trading with the dominant order flow direction
4. **Provides context, not just signals** - the dashboard helps you understand *why* a setup is forming
---
## ⚙️ Best Practices
**Timeframes:**
- 5-15 min: Scalping (use 30-50 bar lookback)
- 1-4 hour: Swing trading (use 100-200 bar lookback)
**Risk Management:**
- Enter on signal candle close
- Stop loss: Beyond nearest HVN/LVN zone
- Target 1: Next LVN level
- Target 2: Opposite value area boundary
**Filters:**
- Avoid signals during major news events
- Require bar delta strength >65% for aggressive entries
- Wait for delta MA cross confirmation in ranging markets

## 🚨 Alerts Available
- Long Setup Trigger
- Short Setup Trigger
- Bullish/Bearish Divergence Detection
- Large Buy/Sell Order Execution

## 📚 Educational Context
This methodology is based on principles used by professional order flow traders:
- **Market Profile Theory**: Volume distribution reveals fair value
- **Tape Reading**: Large orders show institutional intent
- **Auction Theory**: Price seeks areas of liquidity imbalance (LVN zones)
The script automates pattern recognition that discretionary traders spend years learning to identify manually.

Advanced Tips
Scalping Psychology
Be patient: Wait for Score 5+ setups
Be decisive: When signal appears, act immediately
Be disciplined: Follow your stop loss always
Be flexible: Exit quickly if dashboard reverses
Optimization
Backtest on your specific instrument
Adjust RSI/Stoch levels for your market
Fine-tune volume thresholds
Keep a trade journal to track which setups work best
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Use 5-min dashboard as "trend filter"
Take 1-min trades only in direction of 5-min SCALP signal
Increases win rate by ~10-15%
Troubleshooting
Q: Dashboard shows WAIT most of the time
Normal - scalping is about patience. Quality > Quantity
3-8 good setups per day is excellent
Q: Too many false signals
Increase minimum Score requirement to 5 or 6
Only trade with volume surge (yellow backgrounds)
Add large order detection confirmation
Q: Signals too slow
You may be on too high a timeframe
Try 1-minute chart for faster signals
Ensure real-time data feed is active
Q: Support/Resistance not updating
Normal - updates every 3 bars
If completely stuck, remove and re-add indicator
Summary
This scalping system works best when:
✅ Multiple indicators align (Score 5+)
✅ Volume and tape speed confirm the move
✅ Order flow (diamonds) confirms direction
✅ Price is at key levels (support/resistance)
✅ You manage risk strictly
✅ You exit before market close
The golden rule: When SCALP says WAIT, you WAIT. Discipline beats frequency.
FU Candle Detector (Smart Money Concept) En Anglais🧠 Overall concept: “FU Candle” in Smart Money logic
In the context of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or ICT (Inner Circle Trader), an FU Candle (also known as a “Fakeout Candle” or “Manipulation Candle”) is a candle that:
Creates an imbalance or a break (often above a swing high or below a swing low),
Attracts liquidity by trapping retail traders (liquidity grab),
Then abruptly reverses direction, revealing the hand of “Smart Money” (large institutions).
It therefore often marks:
The point of manipulation before an impulsive movement (reversal),
An area of interest for entering in the institutional direction (after the liquidity grab).
---
⚙️ How the “FU Candle Detector” script works
The script identifies these candlesticks by observing several typical criteria:
1. Detection of the manipulative candle (FU Candle)
Search for a candlestick that breaks a previous swing (significant high or low),
But closes in the opposite direction, often below/above the broken zone,
Thus indicating a fakeout.
Examples:
Bullish FU Candle: breaks a previous low, but closes bullish.
Bearish FU Candle: breaks a previous high, but closes bearish.
---
2. Visualization on the chart
The script generally displays:
🔴 Red markers for bearish FUs (Fake Breakout upwards),
🟢 Green markers for bullish FUs (Fake Breakout downwards),
🟦 Rectangles of areas of interest (often around the FU Candle Open),
📏 Horizontal lines on areas of imbalance (OB/FVG if integrated).
---
3. Possible additions depending on the version
Depending on the version you have received, the script can also:
Detect Fair Value Gaps (FVG) around FU Candles,
Mark Order Blocks (OB) associated with manipulation,
Add alerts when new FU Candles are detected,
Calculate the distance between the manipulation point and the price return,
Filter according to candle size, volume, or market structure (MSB/CHoCH).
---
🎯 Practical use
FU Candles are often used:
As confirmation of an imminent reversal,
To identify institutional entry zones (hidden Order Block),
To anticipate the direction of the next impulse after the liquidity hunt.
Typical entry example:
> Wait for the formation of an FU Candle + price return within the candle body = entry in the opposite direction to the false breakout.
📈 Recommended combinations
This detector is often combined with:
Structure Break Indicator (CHoCH / BOS)
Liquidity Pool Zones
Fair Value Gap Finder
Order Block Detector
This gives you a complete Smart Money Concept system, capable of mapping:
1. Where liquidity has been taken,
2. Where the price is rebalancing,
3. Where Smart Money is repositioning its orders.
Average Daily Session Range PRO [Capitalize Labs]Average Daily Session Range PRO
The Average Daily Session Range PRO (ADSR PRO) is a professional-grade analytical tool designed to quantify and visualize the probabilistic range behavior of intraday sessions.
It calculates directional range statistics using historical session data to show how far price typically moves up or down from the session open.
This helps traders understand session volatility profiles, range asymmetry, and probabilistic extensions relative to prior performance.
Key Features
Asymmetric Range Modeling: Separately tracks average upside and downside excursions from each session open, revealing directional bias and volatility imbalance.
Probability Engine Modes: Choose between Rolling Window (fixed-length lookback) and Exponential Decay (weighted historical memory) to control how recent or historic data influences probabilities.
Session-Aware Statistics: Calculates values independently for each defined session, allowing region-specific insights (e.g., Tokyo, London, New York).
Dynamic Range Table: Displays key metrics such as average up/down ticks, expected range extensions, and percentage probabilities.
Adaptive Display: Works across timeframes and instruments, automatically aligning with user-defined session start and end times.
Visual Clarity: Includes clean range markers and labels optimized for both backtesting and live-chart analysis.
Intended Use
ADSR PRO is a statistical reference indicator.
It does not generate buy/sell signals or predictive forecasts.
Its purpose is to help users observe historical session behavior and volatility tendencies to support their own discretionary analysis.

Dynamic ~ CVDDynamic - CVD is a smart, time-adaptive version of the classic Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator, designed to help traders visualize market buying and selling pressure across all timeframes with minimal manual tweaking.
Overview
Cumulative Volume Delta tracks the difference between buying and selling volume during each bar. It reveals whether aggressive buyers or sellers dominate the market, offering deep insight into real-time market sentiment and underlying momentum.
This version of CVD automatically adjusts its EMA smoothing length based on your selected timeframe, ensuring optimal sensitivity and consistency across intraday, daily, weekly, and even monthly charts.
Features
Dynamic EMA Length — Automatically adapts smoothing parameters based on the chart timeframe:
1–59 min → 50
1–23 h → 21
Daily & Weekly → 100
Monthly → 10
CVD Visualization — Displays cumulative delta to show the ongoing buying/selling imbalance.
CVD‑EMA Curve — Offers a clear trend signal by comparing the CVD line with its EMA.
Adaptive Color Logic — EMA curve changes color dynamically:
Green when CVD > EMA (bullish pressure)
Gray when CVD < EMA (bearish pressure)
How to Use
Use Dynamic - CVD to gauge whether the market is accumulating (net buying) or distributing (net selling).
When CVD rises above its EMA, it often signals consistent buying pressure and potential bullish continuation.
When CVD stays below its EMA, it highlights sustained selling pressure and possible weakness.
The dynamic EMA makes it suitable for scalping, swing trading, and longer-term trend analysis—no need to manually adjust settings.
Best For
Traders looking to measure real buying/selling flow rather than price movement alone.
Market participants who want a plug‑and‑play CVD that stays accurate across all timeframes.
Anyone interested in volume‑based momentum confirmation tools.

Liquidations Aggregated (Lite)Liquidations Aggregated (Lite)
The Liquidations Aggregated (Lite) script provides a unified cross-exchange visualization of short and long liquidation volumes, allowing traders to identify high-impact market events and sentiment reversals driven by forced position closures. It aggregates normalized liquidation data from Binance, Bybit, and OKX into a single coherent output, offering a consolidated perspective of derivative market stress across major venues.
Core Concept
Liquidations are involuntary closures of leveraged positions when margin requirements are breached. They represent points of structural orderflow imbalance, often triggering localized volatility spikes and price pivots. This indicator isolates and aggregates those liquidation volumes by direction (short vs. long), allowing traders to map where leveraged traders are being forced out and whether current market movement is driven by short covering or long capitulation.
Underlying Methodology
Each connected exchange provides liquidation feeds via standardized symbols (e.g., BTCUSDT.P_LQBUY or BTCUSD.P_LQSELL).
The script differentiates between:
Short Liquidations → Buy Volume: Forced covering of shorts, representing upward pressure.
Long Liquidations → Sell Volume: Forced selling of longs, representing downward pressure.
Bybit’s inverse data is normalized to align directional logic with Binance and OKX. Data is drawn through the request.security() function per symbol and per exchange, with per-exchange scaling adjustments applied to compensate for differences in reported nominal sizes (USD vs. coin-margined). The script is meant to match the calculation methods of professional-grade data sources (e.g., Velodata, Coinalyze). The value is denominated in the base currency at all times.
Computation Logic
Liquidation volumes are fetched separately for USD- and USDT-margined pairs on each exchange.
Exchange-specific magnitude adjustments are applied to account for nominal denomination differences.
Normalized liquidation buy and sell volumes are summed into two global aggregates:
combinedBuyVolumeLiquidationsShort → aggregated buy volume from forced short positions closes (Short Liquidations)
combinedSellVolumeLiquidationsLong → aggregated sell pressure from forced long position closes (Long Liquidations)
Final series are plotted as mirrored column charts around a zero baseline for direct comparison.
How to Use
Apply the script to any crypto perpetual futures symbol (e.g., BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT).
Observe teal bars (Buy Volume from Short Liquidations) for short squeezes and red bars (Sell Volume from Long Liquidations) for long wipes.
Strong teal spikes during downtrends often indicate aggressive short liquidations leading to short-term bounces.
Strong red spikes during uptrends often mark long unwinds that can trigger sharp retracements.
Sustained asymmetry in either direction suggests systemic imbalance across leveraged positioning.
Illuminati Zone🟣 Illuminati Zone — Hidden Power of the 11 PM NZ Candle
The Illuminati Zone reveals the hidden footprints of liquidity and market imbalance formed by the 11 PM New Zealand 15-minute candle — a time when global liquidity transitions between major sessions.
This candle often defines key intraday supply and demand boundaries, serving as a magnet for price and a pivot point for high-probability reversals or breakouts.
🧠 How it works
Automatically detects and marks the 11 PM NZ 15-minute candle each day.
Draws a translucent zone box between its high and low.
Extends two reference lines at +1 × range and –1 × range above and below the zone — ideal for spotting overextensions or liquidity sweeps.
Supports custom lookback, colors, and visual options.
💡 How to use it
Watch how price interacts with the zone — rejection often signals smart-money activity.
Use +1 and –1 levels as overextended zones for potential reversals or breakout retests.
Combine with your own confluence tools or volume analysis for precision entries.
⚙️ Customization Options

🔮 Pro Tip: Pair it with a volume or imbalance indicator for surgical-level precision in identifying where smart money positions are built or released.
Volume Delta [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volume Delta indicator visualizes the dominance between buying and selling volume within a given period. It calculates the percentage of bullish (buy) versus bearish (sell) volume, then color-codes the candles and provides a real-time dashboard comparing delta values across multiple currency pairs. This makes it a powerful tool for monitoring order-flow strength and intermarket relationships in real time.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Each bar’s buy volume is counted when the close is higher than the open.
Each bar’s sell volume is counted when the close is lower than the open.
volumeBuy = 0.
volumeSell = 0.
for i = 0 to period
if close > open
volumeBuy += volume
else
volumeSell += volume
The indicator sums both over a chosen period to calculate the ratio of buy-to-sell pressure.
Delta (%) = (Buy Volume ÷ (Buy Volume + Sell Volume)) × 100.
Gradient colors highlight whether buying or selling pressure dominates.
🔵 FEATURES
Calculates real-time Volume Delta for the selected chart or for multiple assets.
Colors candles dynamically based on the delta intensity (green = buy pressure, red = sell pressure).
Displays a dashboard table showing volume delta % for up to five instruments.
The dashboard features visual progress bars for quick intermarket comparison.
An optional Delta Bar Panel shows the ratio of Buy/Sell volumes near the latest bar.
A floating label shows the exact Buy/Sell percentages.
Works across all symbols and timeframes for multi-asset delta tracking.
🔵 HOW TO USE
When Buy % > Sell % , it often signals bullish momentum or strong accumulation—but can also indicate over-excitement and a possible market top.
Market Tops
When Sell % > Buy % , it typically reflects bearish pressure or distribution—but may also occur near a market bottom where selling exhaustion forms.
Market Bottom
Use the Dashboard to compare volume flow across correlated assets (e.g., major Forex pairs or sector groups).
Combine readings with trend or volatility filters to confirm whether the imbalance aligns with broader directional conviction.
Treat the Delta Bar visualization as a real-time sentiment gauge—showing which side (buyers or sellers) dominates the current session.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volume Delta transforms volume analysis into an intuitive directional signal.
By quantifying buy/sell pressure and displaying it as a percentage or color gradient, it provides traders with a clearer picture of real-time volume imbalance — whether within one market or across multiple correlated instruments.
Devil Marks - Multi TimeframeA handy completely new script that shows Devil Marks for several time frames on the current time frame.
Devil Marks are where candles have no wick at one end of the candlestick. These levels are seen as areas that price needs to go back to at some point to re-balance the imbalance. These levels can add confluence to a trade idea.
A table is included that shows the closest devil mark for each time frame.
Devil Marks should show until that level is mitigated by price trading at that level.
Cumulative Volume Delta Profile and Heatmap [BackQuant]Cumulative Volume Delta Profile and Heatmap
A multi-view CVD workstation that measures buying vs selling pressure, renders a price-aligned CVD profile with Point of Control, paints an optional heatmap of delta intensity, and detects classical CVD divergences using pivot logic. Built for reading who is in control, where participation clustered, and when effort is failing to produce result.
What is CVD
Cumulative Volume Delta accumulates the difference between aggressive buys and aggressive sells over time. When CVD rises, buyers are lifting the offer more than sellers are hitting the bid. When CVD falls, the opposite is true. Plotting CVD alongside price helps you judge whether price moves are supported by real participation or are running on fumes.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components
CVD Columns - Plot of cumulative delta, colored by side, for quick read of participation bias.
CVD Profile - Price-aligned histogram of CVD accumulation using user-set bins. Shows where net initiative clustered.
Split Buy and Sell CVD - Optional two-sided profile that separates positive and negative CVD into distinct wings.
POC - Point of Control - The price level with the highest absolute CVD accumulation, labeled and line-marked.
Heatmap - Semi-transparent blocks behind price that encode CVD intensity across the last N bars.
Divergence Engine - Pivot-based detection of Bearish and Bullish CVD divergences with optional lines and labels.
Stats Panel - Top level metrics: Total CVD, Buy and Sell totals with percentages, Delta Ratio, and current POC price.
How it works
Delta source and sampling
You select an Anchor Timeframe that defines the higher time aggregation for reading the trend of CVD.
The script pulls lower timeframe volume delta and aggregates it to the anchor window. You can let it auto-select the lower timeframe or force a custom one.
CVD is then accumulated bar by bar to form a running total. This plot shows the direction and persistence of initiative.
Profile construction
The recent price range is split into Profile Granularity bins.
As price traverses a bin, the current delta contribution is added to that bin.
If Split Buy and Sell CVD is enabled, positive CVD goes to the right wing and negative CVD to the left wing.
Widths are scaled by each side’s maximum so you can compare distribution shape at a glance.
The Point of Control is the bin with the highest absolute CVD. This marks where initiative concentrated the most.
Heatmap
For each bin, the script computes intensity as absolute CVD relative to the maximum bin value.
Color is derived from the side in control in that bin and shaded by intensity.
Heatmap Length sets how far back the panels extend, highlighting recurring participation zones.
Divergence model
You define pivot sensitivity with Pivot Left and Right .
Bearish divergence triggers when price confirms a higher high while CVD fails to make a higher high within a configurable Delta Tolerance .
Bullish divergence triggers when price confirms a lower low while CVD fails to make a lower low.
On trigger, optional link lines and labels are drawn at the pivots for immediate context.
Key Settings
Delta Source
Anchor Timeframe - Higher TF for the CVD narrative.
Custom Lower TF and Lower Timeframe - Force the sampling TF if desired.
Pivot Logic
Pivot Left and Right - Bars to each side for swing confirmation.
Delta Tolerance - Small allowance to avoid near-miss false positives.
CVD Profile
Show CVD Profile - Toggle profile rendering.
Split Buy and Sell CVD - Two-sided profile for clearer side attribution.
Show Heatmap - Project intensity panels behind price.
Show POC and POC Color - Mark the dominant CVD node.
Profile Granularity - Number of bins across the visible price range.
Profile Offset and Profile Width - Position and scale the profile.
Profile Position - Right, Left, or Current bar alignment.
Visuals
Bullish Div Color and Bearish Div Color - Colors for divergence artifacts.
Show Divergence Lines and Labels - Visualize pivots and annotations.
Plot CVD - Column plot of total CVD.
Show Statistics and Position - Toggle and place the summary table.
Reading the display
CVD columns
Rising CVD confirms buyers are in control. Falling CVD confirms sellers.
Flat or choppy CVD during wide price moves hints at passive or exhausted participation.
CVD profile wings
Thick right wing near a price zone implies heavy buy initiative accumulated there.
Thick left wing implies heavy sell initiative.
POC marks the strongest initiative node. Expect reactions on first touch and rotations around this level when the tape is balanced.
Heatmap
Brighter blocks indicate stronger historical net initiative at that price.
Stacked bright bands form CVD high volume nodes. These often behave like magnets or shelves for future trade.
Divergences
Bearish - Price prints a higher high while CVD fails to do so. Effort is not producing result. Potential fade or pause.
Bullish - Price prints a lower low while CVD fails to do so. Capitulation lacks initiative. Potential bounce or reversal.
Stats panel
Total CVD - Net initiative over the window.
Buy and Sell volume with percentages - Side composition.
Delta Ratio - Buy over Sell. Values above 1 favor buyers, below 1 favor sellers.
POC Price - Current control node for plan and risk.
Workflows
Trend following
Choose an Anchor Timeframe that matches your holding period.
Trade in the direction of CVD slope while price holds above a bullish POC or below a bearish POC.
Use pullbacks to CVD nodes on your profile as entry locations.
Trend weakens when price makes new highs but CVD stalls, or new lows while CVD recovers.
Mean reversion
Look for divergences at or near prior CVD nodes, especially the POC.
Fade tests into thick wings when the side that dominated there now fails to push CVD further.
Target rotations back toward the POC or the opposite wing edge.
Liquidity and execution map
Treat strong wings and heatmap bands as probable passive interest zones.
Expect pauses, partial fills, or flips at these shelves.
Stops make sense beyond the far edge of the active wing supporting your idea.
Alerts included
CVD Bearish Divergence and CVD Bullish Divergence.
Price Cross Above POC and Price Cross Below POC.
Extreme Buy Imbalance and Extreme Sell Imbalance from Delta Ratio.
CVD Turn Bullish and CVD Turn Bearish when net CVD crosses zero.
Price Near POC proximity alert.
Best practices
Use a higher Anchor Timeframe to stabilize the CVD story and a sensible Profile Granularity so wings are readable without clutter.
Keep Split mode on when you want to separate initiative attribution. Turn it off when you prefer a single net profile.
Tune Pivot Left and Right by instrument to avoid overfitting. Larger values find swing divergences. Smaller values find micro fades.
If volume is thin or synthetic for the symbol, CVD will be less reliable. The script will warn if volume is zero.
Trading applications
Context - Confirm or question breakouts with CVD slope.
Location - Build entries at CVD nodes and POC.
Timing - Use divergence and POC crosses for triggers.
Risk - Place stops beyond the opposite wing or outside the POC shelf.
Important notes and limits
This is a price and volume based study. It does not access off-book or venue-level order flow.
CVD profiles are built from the data available on your chart and the chosen lower timeframe sampling.
Like all volume tools, readings can distort during roll periods, holidays, or feed anomalies. Validate on your instrument.
Technical notes
Delta is aggregated from a lower timeframe into an Anchor Timeframe narrative.
Profile bins update in real time. Splitting by side scales each wing independently so both are readable in the same panel.
Divergences are confirmed using standard pivot definitions with user-set tolerances.
All profile drawing uses fixed X offsets so panels and POC do not swim when you scroll.
Quick start
Anchor Timeframe = Daily for intraday context.
Split Buy and Sell CVD = On.
Profile Granularity = 100 to 200, Profile Position = Right, Width to taste.
Pivot Left and Right around 8 to 12 to start, then adapt.
Turn on Heatmap for a fast map of interest bands.
Bottom line
CVD tells you who is doing the lifting. The profile shows where they did it. Divergences tell you when effort stops paying. Put them together and you get a clear read on control, location, and timing for both trend and mean reversion.
cd_indiCATor_CxGeneral:
This indicator is the redesigned, simplified, and feature-enhanced version of the previously shared indicators:
cd_cisd_market_Cx, cd_HTF_Bias_Cx, cd_sweep&cisd_Cx, cd_SMT_Sweep_CISD_Cx, and cd_RSI_divergence_Cx.
Within the holistic setup, the indicator tracks:
• HTF bias
• Market structure (trend) in the current timeframe
• Divergence between selected pairs (SMT)
• Divergence between price and RSI values
• Whether the price is in an important area (FVG, iFVG, and Volume Imbalance)
• Whether the price is at a key level
• Whether the price is within a user-defined special timeframe
The main condition and trigger of the setup is an HTF sweep with CISD confirmation on the aligned timeframe.
When the main condition occurs, the indicator provides the user with a real-time market status summary, enriched with other data.
________________________________________
What’s new?
-In the SMT module:
• Triad SMT analysis (e.g.: NQ1!, ES1!, and YM1!)
• Dyad SMT analysis (e.g.: EURUSD, GBPUSD)
• Alternative pair definition and divergence analysis for non-correlated assets
o For crypto assets (xxxUSDT <--> xxxUSDT.P) (e.g.: SOLUSDT.P, SOLUSDT)
o For stocks, divergence analysis by comparing the asset with its value in another currency
(BIST:xxx <--> BIST:xxx / EURTRY), (BAT:xxx <--> BAT:xxx / EURUSD)
-Special timeframe definition
-Configurable multi-option alarm center
-Alternative summary presentation (check list / status table / stickers)
________________________________________
Details and usage:
The user needs to configure four main sections:
• Pair and correlated pairs
• Timeframes (Auto / Manual)
• Alarm center
• Visual arrangement and selections
Pair Selections:
The user should adjust trading pairs according to their trade preferences.
Examples:
• Triad: NQ1!-ES1!-YM1!, BTC-ETH-Total3
• Dyad: NAS100-US500, XAUUSD-XAGUSD, XRPUSDT-XLMUSDT
Single pairs:
-Crypto Assets:
If crypto assets are not in the triad or dyad list, they are automatically matched as:
Perpetual <--> Spot (e.g.: DOGEUSDT.P <--> DOGEUSDT)
If the asset is already defined in a dyad list (e.g., DOGE – SHIB), the dyad definition takes priority.
________________________________________
-Stocks:
If stocks are defined in the dyad list (e.g.: BIST:THYAO <--> BIST:PGSUS), the dyad definition takes priority.
If not defined, the stock is compared with its value in the selected currency.
For example, in the Turkish Stock Exchange:
BIST:FENER stock, if EUR is chosen from the menu, is compared as BIST:FENER / OANDA:EURTRY.
Here, “OANDA” and the stock market currency (TRY) are automatically applied for the exchange rate.
For NYSE:XOM, its pair will be NYSE:XOM / EURUSD.
________________________________________
Timeframes:
By default, the menu is set to “Auto.” In this mode, aligned timeframes are automatically selected.
Aligned timeframes (LTF-HTF):
1m-15m, 3m-30m, 5m-1h, 15m-4h, 1h-D, 4h-W, D-M
Example: if monitoring the chart on 5m:
• 1h sweep + 5m CISD confirmation
• D sweep + 1h CISD confirmation (bias)
• 5m market structure
• 1h SMT and 1h RSI divergence analysis
For manual selections, the user must define the timeframes for Sweep and HTF bias.
FVG, iFVG, and Volume Imbalance timeframes must be manually set in both modes.
________________________________________
Alarm Center:
The user can choose according to preferred criteria.
Each row has options.
“Yes” → included in alarm condition.
“No” → not included in alarm condition.
If special timeframe criteria are added to the alarm, the hour range must also be entered in the same row, and the “Special Zone” tab (default: -4) should be checked.
Key level timeframes and plot options must be set manually.
Example alarm setup:
Alongside the main Sweep + CISD condition, if we also want HTF bias + Trend alignment + key level (W, D) and special timeframe (09:00–11:00), we should set up the menu as follows:
________________________________________
Visual Arrangement and Selections:
Users can control visibility with checkboxes according to their preferences.
In the Table & Sticker tab, table options and labels can be controlled.
• Summary Table has two options: Check list and Status Table
• From the HTF bias section, real-time bias and HTF sweep zone (optional) are displayed
• The RSI divergence section only shows divergence analysis results
• The SMT 2 sub-section only functions when triad is selected
Labels are shown on the bar where the sweep + CISD condition occurs, displaying the current situation.
With the Check box option, all criteria’s real-time status is shown (True/False).
Status Table provides a real-time summary table.
Although the menu may look crowded, most settings only need to be adjusted once during initial use.
________________________________________
What’s next?
• Suggestions from users
• Standard deviation projection
• Mitigation/order blocks (cd special mtg)
• PSP /TPD
________________________________________
Final note:
Every additional criterion in the alarm settings will affect alarm frequency.
Multiple conditions occurring at the same time is not, by itself, sufficient to enter a trade—you should always apply your own judgment.
Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions.
Happy trading! 🎉
unFair Value Gap Detector [theUltimator5]The unFair Value Gap Detector (uFVG) highlights imbalance zones that form when trend strength is weak but directional pressure spikes—a condition often followed by price reversion back into that level. Unlike the classic 3-candle ICT FVG, this tool is designed to help you have an unFair edge in gap retracement detection by plotting high probability gap reversion opportunities on the current timeframe and the next FIVE (yes five) higher timeframes.
What you’ll see:
Gap line per event: A single, no-nonsense line at the level price most often returns to.
Auto multi-timeframe view: uFVG ladders up through five higher timeframes and shows their levels too—each with its own color.
Smart de-clutter: Near-duplicate lines across timeframes are filtered so your chart stays readable.
Note: This indicator is intentionally minimalistic visually to minimize chart clutter, while still being an extremely powerful tool
Optional visuals:
Light background tint during quiet, coiling conditions.
Soft fill from price to the active line for quick context.
Compact labels that note the price and which timeframe printed it.
Why it is unique and effective (the “unfair” edge):
Early, practical context: Spots levels near when the imbalance forms—useful before the crowd catches on.
Clarity over noise: One line per event. No boxes, no sprawling zones, fewer “maybe” areas.
Timeframe confluence: When multiple timeframes cluster around the same price, you’ve got a stronger focal point.
Simple risk framing: If price slices through the line decisively, that idea’s done. Next.
How to use it:
Mean-reversion play: Look for price to tag the line, take profits into it, or fade a first reaction.
Continuation play: After the line is “mitigated,” reassess in the original direction.
Prioritize by timeframe: Higher-timeframe lines tend to carry more weight.
Respect clusters: Multiple lines stacked near one price often mark important pivots.
Customization
Colors: Separate colors for current and higher-timeframe lines.
Toggles: Turn on/off background highlights, line-to-price fill, and labels.
Minimal fuss: The rest is auto—timeframes, line lifecycle, and de-duplication are handled for you.

IFVG ExtendedThis indicator identifies and visualizes "Imbalance Fair Value Gaps" (IFVGs) on a price chart. It highlights these gaps, tracks their evolution, and signals when they are "filled" or "invalidated" by price action. The script is quite advanced, using custom types, arrays, and dynamic drawing.
1. Types and Variables
Custom Types:
lab: Stores label information (x, y, direction).
fvg: Stores Fair Value Gap data, including its boundaries, direction, state, labels, and other properties.
Arrays:
Four arrays track bullish and bearish FVGs, and their "invalidated" (filled) versions.
Signals:
Boolean variables to store if a bullish or bearish signal is triggered.
2. User Inputs and Parameters
Display Settings:
How many recent FVGs to show, signal preference (close or wick), ATR multiplier for gap size filtering, and colors for bullish/bearish/midline.
3. Chart Data
Price Data:
Open, high, low, close, and ATR (Average True Range) are stored for use in calculations.
4. Functions
label_maker:
Draws an up or down arrow label at a given point, colored for bullish or bearish.
fvg_manage:
Checks if any FVGs in the array have been "invalidated" (i.e., price has crossed their boundary). If so, moves them to the invalidated array.
inv_manage:
Manages invalidated FVGs, checking if a signal should be fired (i.e., price has reacted to the gap). Also removes old FVGs.
send_it:
Draws the FVGs and their labels on the chart, using boxes and lines for visualization.
5. Main Logic and Visualization
FVG Detection:
On each bar, checks for new bullish or bearish FVGs based on price action and ATR filter.
Adds new FVGs to the appropriate array.
FVG Management:
Updates the arrays, moves invalidated FVGs, and checks for signals.
Drawing:
On the last bar, clears all previous drawings and redraws the current FVGs and their labels.
6. Alerts
Alert Conditions:
Sets up alerts for when a bullish or bearish IFVG signal is triggered, so users can be notified.
Summary
In short:
This script automatically finds and tracks "Imbalance Fair Value Gaps" on your chart, highlights them, and alerts you when price interacts with them in a significant way. It uses advanced Pine Script features to manage and visualize these zones dynamically, helping traders spot potential reversal or continuation points based on gap theory
Impulse Alert - Supply (Sell) [Fixed]🟥 Supply Zone (Sell) – Institutional Order Block Detector
This custom indicator automatically detects valid Supply Zones (Sell Zones) based on Smart Money Concepts and institutional trading behavior.
🔍 How It Works:

Valid supply zones are plotted after:
A valid rally–base–drop or drop–base–drop structure
A shift in structure or clear imbalance is detected
The zone is created from the last bullish candle before a strong bearish engulfing move
Zones remain on chart until price revisits and reacts
📊 Use Case:
Ideal for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC), Supply & Demand, or ICT-inspired strategies
Perfect for scalping, day trading, or swing setups
Designed for confluence with HTF bias and LTF execution
⚙️ Features:
Supply Zone auto-plotting
Customizable zone color and opacity
Alerts when price returns to the zone (retest entry opportunity)
🧠 Tip for Best Use:
Use in confluence with:
HTF Supply zones (manual or other indicator)
Market Structure breaks
Fair Value Gaps or Imbalance zones
Strong impulsive moves from HTF to LTF
🔁 Future Additions (Coming Soon):
Demand Zone detection
Zone strength rating system
Refined zone filters (volume, candle size, etc.)
Alerts for mitigation or invalidation

Apex Edge - VantageApex Edge – Vantage
Quarter-Wick Reversal System | Price Action Based | Non-Repainting | Visual Confirmation Tool
Overview:
Apex Edge – Vantage is a precision price action indicator built to assist traders in identifying high-probability reversal entries — not based on indicators, but on how candles behave at their extremes.
This tool implements a clean, repeatable framework that reflects how I personally trade:
Spot a candle that closes with strong directional intent,
Then wait for a controlled pullback into the outer quarter,
And strike — only if price respects that line.
There’s no magic here — just raw, tactical logic visualized clearly on your chart. It's not designed to predict the market — it's built to respond when price offers you Vantage.
Core Logic:
Dot Detection – Final Quarter Close Candles
A green dot prints below a bullish candle if it closes within the top 25% of its wick-to-wick range.
A red dot prints above a bearish candle if it closes within the bottom 25% of its range.
These dots signify candles that made a strong, deliberate move in one direction — where price was pushed to an extreme and held that extreme into the close. These candles often signal institutional intent or momentum imbalance.
Entry Confirmation – Controlled Wick Rebalance
On the very next candle only, price must wick into the prior dot candle's outer quarter — but must not pass beyond it.
For buy entries, the wick must enter the bottom 25% of the previous green dot candle, but not dip below it.
For sell entries, the wick must reach into the top 25% of the red dot candle, but not exceed it.
This wick into the quarter is seen as a controlled rebalancing — a tactical reaction back into the origin zone before potential continuation.
Arrow Printing – Visual Entry Signal
Once the entry criteria are confirmed, an arrow is printed after the candle closes.
This arrow continues to print on each new candle as long as price does not violate the original entry zone — giving visual confirmation that the trade thesis is still valid.
If price breaks above/below the quarter range, the arrow disappears.
This ongoing confirmation is useful for staying in trades, managing risk, or spotting failed setups early.
Automatic Stop Loss Level
A horizontal Stop Loss line is drawn from the extreme wick of the original dot candle.
For buy entries, SL is placed below the green dot candle's low.
For sell entries, SL is placed above the red dot candle's high.
This provides immediate risk context — perfect for traders using limit orders or looking to scale in.
Coding Logic:
This script uses plotshape() and plot() functions for all visual elements.
Dot candles are identified using quarter-range logic via:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
close >= high - (high - low) * 0.25 // for bullish
close <= low + (high - low) * 0.25 // for bearish
Entry validation logic triggers only on the next candle, using:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
low >= quarterLine and low <= high // for buy entries
high <= quarterLine and high >= low // for sell entries
Arrows and SL lines are plotted only on closed candles, ensuring non-repainting behavior.
alertcondition() is used for real-time alerts on valid buy/sell triggers.
How I Personally Use It:
I wait for a dot to print — this shows directional conviction.
On the next candle, I watch for a tap into the outer quarter.
If the wick meets the criteria and the candle closes, I’ll execute manually at the close of that candle.
As long as the arrow remains on the chart, I know the setup hasn’t been invalidated.
I combine this with market structure, session timing, and liquidity context to build confluence around each trade.
Alerts Included:
Buy Entry Alert: When a green arrow prints (entry confirmed)
Sell Entry Alert: When a red arrow prints (entry confirmed)
These fire once per confirmed signal, allowing you to react in real-time or automate if desired.
Who This Is For:
Manual traders who want clean price-based entries
Anyone who uses market structure, SMC, or liquidity concepts
Traders looking to replace indicators with pure candle logic
Discretionary or semi-systematic traders who want visual tools to guide their decisions
Final Word
Apex Edge – Vantage doesn’t predict price — it shows you where price is offering you control.
This is a surgical tool designed to help you act only when the market gives you a measurable edge — and to stay in the trade as long as that edge holds.
If you're ready to stop chasing trades and start striking from a position of Vantage, then this tool belongs on your chart.
Z-Score Volume with CVD Clustering Script Title:
Z-Score Volume with CVD Clustering & NY VWAP
📘 Description:
This indicator combines statistical volume analysis with order flow confirmation to detect high-probability trade zones and volume-based divergences.
📌 Components:
Z-Score of Volume: Identifies statistically significant volume surges or drops relative to a moving average baseline.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Gauges net buying vs. selling pressure using high-frequency bid/ask delta.
K-Means Clustering: Applies clustering logic to classify each bar into:
Cluster 2 – Strong Bullish: Z-Score and CVD both strong
Cluster 1 – Divergence / Bull Trap: Z-Score high, but weak CVD
Cluster 0 – Neutral / Noise: No clear alignment
Anchored VWAP (NY Session Open): Confirms market structure and institutional trend bias from 9:30 AM ET forward.
🎯 Suggested Applications:
✅ 1. Trend Continuation Entries (Add-ons):
Look to add to positions when:
Cluster 2 signal occurs
Price is above the NY session VWAP
Price structure has broken out of prior day high/low or range
⚠️ 2. Divergence Detection (Fade Traps):
Cluster 1 signals a bearish divergence (e.g., high volume but weak CVD).
Especially useful when price is failing to stay above VWAP.
Useful for early exits or reversal setups.
📊 3. Volume Profile Confirmation:
Combine with fixed or session-based volume profile tools.
Use Z-Score clusters to confirm volume spikes into low-volume nodes (LVNs) or during imbalance transitions.
📍 4. VWAP Structure Confirmation:
Anchored VWAP acts as a dynamic reference point.
Helps confirm acceptance vs. rejection zones at key institutional levels.
📈 Visuals & Alerts:
Color-coded volume bars show intensity of Z-Score & CVD confluence
CVD Line plots real-time delta bias with green/red coloring
Cluster-based shape markers highlight key bars for actionable signals
Optional: Add alerts for Cluster 2 above VWAP or Cluster 1 below VWAP
⚙️ Customization Options:
Adjustable Z-Score length
Custom anchor timeframe for CVD (e.g., 1D or sessions)
Adjustable max lookback depth
Toggle VWAP inclusion
Extendable to include additional filters: RSI, structure break alerts, etc.
🔧 Ideal Use Cases:
NY session intraday traders (ES, NQ, CL, 6E, FX pairs)
Breakout traders wanting order flow confirmation
Mean reversion traders spotting fake moves
Volume-based scalpers looking for edge on short-term order imbalance
Delta Spike Detector [GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA]📌 Delta Spike Detector – Volume Imbalance Ratio
By GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA
📘 Overview
This indicator highlights aggressive buying or selling activity by analyzing the imbalance between estimated Buy and Sell volume per candle. It flags moments when one side dominates the other significantly — defined by user-selectable volume ratio thresholds (10x, 15x, 20x, 25x).
📊 How It Works
Buy/Sell Volume Estimation
Approximates buyer and seller participation using candle structure:
Buy Volume = Proximity of close to low
Sell Volume = Proximity of close to high
Delta & Delta Ratio
Delta = Buy Volume − Sell Volume
Delta Ratio = Ratio of dominant volume side to the weaker side
When this ratio exceeds a threshold, it’s classified as a spike.
Spike Labels
Labels are plotted on the chart:
10x B, 15x B, 20x B, 25x B → Buy Spike Labels (below candles)
10x S, 15x S, 20x S, 25x S → Sell Spike Labels (above candles)
The color of each label reflects the spike strength.
⚙️ User Inputs
Enable/Disable Buy or Sell Spikes
Set custom delta ratio thresholds (default: 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x)
🎯 Use Cases
Spotting sudden aggressive activity (e.g. smart money moves, traps, breakouts)
Identifying short-term market exhaustion or momentum bursts
Complementing other trend or volume-based tools
⚠️ Important Notes
The script uses approximated Buy/Sell Volume based on price position, not actual order flow.
This is not a buy/sell signal generator. It should be used in context with other confirmation indicators or market structure.

X HL QA market structure tool designed to frame price action within a defined context of prior session dynamics. It accomplishes this by anchoring a set of reference levels to the high, low, and open prices of a user-specified higher timeframe (e.g., 4H, 1D, etc.) and projecting those levels onto the current chart for ongoing analysis.
At its core, the indicator establishes a reference range—derived from the previous completed instance of the selected timeframe—and overlays this on the current timeframe. This range serves as a foundational structure for price interpretation in the current session.
Building upon this framework, the script constructs a set of symmetrical quadrants (or deviation zones) both inside and outside of the prior range. These include:
The midpoint (EQ) of the prior range
Levels at ±0.25x, ±0.75x, ±1.0x, ±1.5x, and ±2.0x the range height
These levels act as contextual zones that traders can use to interpret price behavior—whether it's consolidating within the prior range, approaching fair value (EQ), or expanding into directional continuation or reversal zones beyond the range.
The script operates in both real-time and historical contexts. On live bars, it dynamically updates the key levels to provide an evolving view of current price positioning. Simultaneously, it supports the display of historical levels for past sessions, enabling robust backtesting and comparative analysis of price behavior relative to previous quadrant structures.
Ultimately, this tool serves as a positional map, helping traders assess where price is trading relative to significant levels from the prior session, offering insights into potential support/resistance, overextension, or mean reversion scenarios.
Key Technical Features
Multi-Timeframe Support:
request.security() is used to pull data from a user-defined higher timeframe regardless of the current chart interval.
Visual Flexibility:
Toggle between "line" and "channel" mode.
Line color, width, and visibility are all user-controlled.
Anchoring Options:
Deviation levels can be calculated from either the previous period's open or its EQ (midpoint), giving flexibility depending on analytical preference.
Efficient Labeling:
Labels are only rendered on the last bar and are automatically cleared and redrawn to prevent duplication.
Label style, size, text color, and background color are all user-configurable.
Trading Application
This indicator is especially suited for:
1. Mean Reversion Strategies
When price moves beyond +1.0 or +1.5 deviations from the EQ or open, it may signal overextension and a potential snap back to the midpoint or range.
2. Breakout Confirmation
Sustained price action beyond ±1.0 levels may indicate trend strength or continuation beyond historical balance zones.
3. Contextual Range Awareness
EQ and Open provide structure from which traders can judge whether price is in a state of balance or imbalance.
Labels offer at-a-glance interpretation of key levels across any chosen timeframe.
4. Fractal and Multi-Session Analysis
Analysts can layer daily, weekly, and monthly versions of this indicator to observe confluence or divergence of higher timeframe structure.
