Known Reversals
Non-repainting 1-bar reversal detector
What it does:
Pinpoints the earliest confirmed reversals by detecting a subtle divergence within prevailing momentum. Delivers signals with zero lag and no repaint.
Core logic:
- Monitors directional momentum via highs in uptrends and lows in downtrends
- Activates only when the **close breaks alignment** with that momentum in a single candle
- Proprietary volatility-adjusted oscillator ensures signals fire exclusively in high-probability reversal contexts
Key advantage:
Reveals lower-timeframe reversals the moment they confirm on the current chart — true X-ray vision for precision entries.
Pro tip:
Use with distinct candlestick outline colors to instantly distinguish bullish vs. bearish signals, especially on inside bar reversals (painted uniformly for clarity).
No inputs. No curve-fitting. Just pure, actionable reversal confirmation.

DeMARK 9-13For the first time ever, the power and precision of DeMARK is now available on TradingView. Combining core elements of the renowned Sequential® and Combo® studies, the DeMARK 9-13® indicator delivers the same unique insights in a streamlined interface.
The Sequential and Combo family of indicators have been trusted by the top financial firms, funds and figures for decades to enhance their trading and investment strategies. Known for their 9 Setup® and 13 Countdown® readings, these studies are designed to highlight potential market reversals as well as key areas of support, resistance and momentum. With DeMARK 9-13, users can access these groundbreaking techniques in one integrated offering.
While it's often said, "the trend is your friend," it's also crucial to recognize when it's about to end. Identifying potential market inflection points allows you to buy weakness and sell strength, improving your cost basis, reducing risk and allowing you to capitalize on a greater portion of the reversal.
At its core, 9s and 13s are constructed to measure market momentum and exhaustion. Both Sequential and Combo consist of two phases: Setup and Countdown. The Setup phase compares price activity across nine consecutive bars to define the market environment, while the Countdown phase performs a separate 13-bar comparison to indicate when a reversal may be imminent. A 9-13 reading reflects the fulfillment of both phases. When combined with TDST® lines and Risk Levels®, this approach provides a more comprehensive view of the market.
The DeMARK 9-13 indicator consists of:
Sequential
Combo
9 Setup
13 Countdown
TD Setup Trend (TDST)
Perfected® Setup
Risk Levels & Zones
Together, these elements provide an unparalleled view into the inner workings of the market, helping you anticipate shifts and act with greater precision.
🟡 DESCRIPTION
SETUP
The initial stage of the DeMARK 9-13 indicator is the Setup phase. This series is the same for both Sequential and Combo and compares the close of the current bar to the close four bars earlier. Buy Setup counts are displayed in blue below the data set and fulfilled when there are nine consecutive closes less than the close four bars earlier. Sell Setup counts are displayed in blue above the data set and fulfilled when there are nine consecutive closes greater than the close four bars earlier.
During the active Setup, all number counts remain visible to show the progress of the series. Upon completing the Setup, the 9 is recorded and the 1-8 counts are removed. This reduces visual distraction and allows for more result history (due to TradingView’s 500-label limit). Setups are always counting, with Price Flips® occurring as the series alternates between Buy and Sell Setups.
PERFECTED SETUPS
Setups can be classified as either “Perfected” or “Imperfected.” The Setup is Perfected when the 9 is completed and the 6 and 7 bars have been exceeded. In the case of a Buy Setup, the low of bars 8 or 9 must be less than the low of bars 6 and 7. Conversely, in the case of a Sell Setup, the high of bars 8 or 9 must be greater than the high of bars 6 and 7. The point at which the Setup is perfected is displayed with a solid blue dot, matching the color of the Setup series.
Generally speaking, the market will reverse or stabilize within one to four bars of a completed and Perfected Setup 9. The strength and duration of this response can be assessed with the implementation of other indicators, such as TDST® lines.
TD SETUP TREND (TDST)
The TDST indicator is derived from the Setup phase and is used to confirm market trends and identify likely trend failures. A TDST resistance line is drawn from the highest true high of the completed 9 Buy Setup series, while a TDST support line is drawn from the lowest true low of the completed 9 Sell Setup series. These TDST lines provide an indication of market support, resistance and momentum to help evaluate the integrity of the move.
TDST lines are displayed in a lighter blue than the Setup phase. When Breakout Qualifiers are enabled, TDST lines can be considered qualified or disqualified. Disqualified TDSTs appear as a dashed line, indicating potential support in the case of TDST support lines or resistance in the case of TDST resistance lines. Qualified TDSTs appear as a solid line and will stop drawing when a breakout or breakdown occurs, suggesting continued momentum.
COUNTDOWN
Once the Setup phase is completed, the second stage of the DeMARK 9-13 indicator can begin — the Countdown phase. Sequential and Combo share the same Setup series, but there are subtle differences in their respective Countdown phases, each constructed to identify areas of potential trend exhaustion in different market conditions.
Sequential is designed to respond in both trending and consolidating markets, while Combo is more responsive in trending environments and inactive during periods of market consolidation. For that reason, we often say that Combo identifies the highest or lowest points of a move, with Sequential identifying secondary tests. When aligned, these results are even more powerful.
SEQUENTIAL COUNTDOWN
A Sequential Buy Countdown is possible upon completion of a Buy Setup and looks for 13 closes less than or equal to the low two bars earlier. Sequential Buy Countdown counts are displayed as a dark green number below the data set and can begin as early as the 9 bar of a completed Buy Setup. A Sequential Sell Countdown is possible upon completion of a Sell Setup and looks for 13 closes greater than or equal to the high two bars earlier. Sequential Sell Countdown counts are displayed as a dark red number above the data set and can begin as early as the 9 bar of a Sell Setup. Because of this overlap, Sequential Countdown requires as few as 12 bars beyond the 9 Setup to complete the cycle.
Unlike the Setup phase, Countdown counts need not be consecutive. During the active Countdown, all number counts remain visible to display the progress of the series. Upon completing the Countdown, the 13 is confirmed and the 1-12 counts are removed. This reduces visual distraction and allows for more result history (due to TradingView’s 500-label limit).
A completed Sequential 13 Countdown marks the fulfillment of the 9-13 reading and identifies potential market exhaustion. Additional elements of Sequential Countdown like Intersection, Countdown Deferral, Risk Levels and the 12-bar rule can be used to provide further detail and are outlined below.
COMBO COUNTDOWN
A Combo Buy Countdown is possible upon completion of a Buy Setup and looks for 13 closes less than or equal to the low two bars earlier, with additional rules based on the Combo version selected. Combo Buy Countdown counts are displayed as a light green number below the data set and can begin as early as the 1 bar of a completed Buy Setup. A Combo Sell Countdown is possible upon completion of a Sell Setup and looks for 13 closes greater than or equal to the high two bars earlier, with additional rules based on the Combo version selected. Combo Sell Countdown counts are displayed as a magenta number above the data set and can begin as early as the 1 bar of a Sell Setup. Because of this overlap, Combo Countdown requires as few as four bars beyond the 9 Setup to complete the cycle.
Unlike the Setup phase, Countdown counts need not be consecutive. During the active Countdown, all number counts remain visible to display the progress of the series. Upon completing the Countdown, the 13 is confirmed and the 1-12 counts are removed. This reduces visual distraction and allows for more result history (due to TradingView’s 500-label limit).A completed Combo 13 Countdown marks the fulfillment of the 9-13 reading and identifies potential market exhaustion. Additional elements of Combo Countdown like Risk Levels and the 12-bar rule can be used to provide further detail and are outlined below.
RISK LEVELS
When a 9 Setup or 13 Countdown indication is recorded, a Risk Level is generated to identify the zone within which a reversal should occur. This level accounts for any residual trend momentum without invalidating the buy or sell indication. For a completed buy indication, the Risk Level marks the price above which the 9 or 13 remains active and serves as additional support. Conversely, for a completed sell indication, it marks the price below which the 9 or 13 remains active and serves as additional resistance. This level can be viewed as the maximum threshold the indication can withstand before the prevailing momentum overwhelms and negates it and is often used to establish stop-loss areas.
Risk Level line colors correspond to the completed Setup, Sequential Countdown or Combo Countdown that generated it. Shaded risk zones can also be displayed, further highlighting the indication window. When Breakout Qualifiers are enabled, the Risk Level can be considered qualified or disqualified. Disqualified Risk Levels appear as a dashed line, indicating likely support in the case of a buy indication and likely resistance in the case of a sell indication. Qualified Risk Levels appear as a solid line and will stop drawing when a breakout or breakdown occurs, suggesting continued momentum.
4-BAR & 12-BAR METRICS
Generally speaking, the market should see some sort of response within four bars of a completed 9 Setup indication and 12 bars of a completed 13 Countdown indication. If the chart has not responded in that time the existing trend is likely to continue.
INTERSECTION
Intersection is an elective setting unique to Sequential Countdown. When enabled, it postpones the start of the Countdown phase until the price range of the later Setup counts overlap with the price activity of any Setup count occurring three or more bars earlier. This is intended as a pressure release to avoid commencing the count during an extraordinary breakaway market event or aberration. The Intersection level’s color matches its corresponding Buy and Sell Countdown reading and is displayed as a horizontal line on the confirming bar.
COUNTDOWN DEFERRAL
The Sequential Countdown phase of the DeMARK 9-13 indicator includes two optional Countdown Deferral qualifiers — the 13 vs. 8 rule and the 8 vs. 5 rule.
The 13 vs. 8 Countdown Deferral rule is designed to ensure that the tail end of the Countdown is representative of the existing trend. To fulfill this restriction, the low of the 13 bar must be less than or equal to the close of the 8 bar in the case of a Sequential Buy Countdown, while the high of the 13 bar must be greater than or equal to the close of the 8 bar in the case of a Sequential Sell Countdown. Because Countdown counts can increment in a sideways market, this rule helps to confirm that a trend has remained intact and improves accuracy as the series reaches its completion.
When enabled, this Countdown Deferral condition substitutes a “+” for what would otherwise be a “13,” thereby postponing the count. A Sequential Buy Countdown deferral is displayed in dark green below the data set, while a Sequential Sell Countdown deferral is displayed in dark red above the data set. Note that this optional setting is enabled by default and labeled “Last vs. 8 Qualifier” in the DeMARK 9-13 indicator settings.
Whereas the 13 vs. 8 rule is designed to ensure that the tail end of the Sequential series is representative of the existing trend, the 8 vs. 5 Countdown Deferral rule is designed to ensure that the body of the Countdown phase is properly configured. As with the 13 vs. 8 rule, the 8 vs. 5 rule matches the color and placement of its corresponding Buy or Sell Countdown series and substitutes a "+" for what would otherwise be an "8," thereby postponing the count. The 13 vs. 8 comparison is critical to the Countdown phase, while the 8 vs. 5 comparison is elective and provides additional confidence that the trend has remained intact.
COUNTDOWN RECYCLE®
Markets are constantly evolving to reflect new information. Just as fundamentals experience occasional adjustments impacting the expectations of the asset, so too do technical analysis and market timing. This is most often reflected in the Sequential and Combo Countdown phase by a process known as Recycling.
Recycling occurs when a Countdown 13 is interrupted by a subsequent overlapping “22” Setup count in the same direction. Recycling suggests that the new Setup is sufficiently strong to weaken the impact of a confirmed Countdown series and resets the process. A recycling indication is represented as an “R” where the Countdown 13 was previously displayed, matching the color and placement of that Buy or Sell Countdown series.
COUNTDOWN CANCELLATION
Once completed, a 9 Setup and 13 Countdown confirmation is permanent and never altered. However, it’s important to note that Countdowns can be cancelled during their construction phase. There are two scenarios where a Countdown series would be removed from the chart.
The first Countdown cancellation scenario occurs when a subsequent 9 Setup is confirmed in the opposite direction prior to the completion of the Countdown phase. The reasoning is that market conditions have changed from what they were when the initial Setup was fulfilled, making the newer Setup more relevant. Upon confirming an opposing 9 Setup, the incomplete Countdown phase is canceled and removed from the chart.
The second Countdown cancellation scenario takes place when the TDST in the opposite direction is violated, suggesting a conclusion to the previous trend and a confirmation of a new one. In these cases, a true low that occurs above the Buy Setup’s TDST resistance line, or a true high that occurs below the Sell Setup’s TDST support line, cancels the incomplete Countdown phase and removes the counts from the chart.

Multi EMA + Indicators + Mini-Dashboard + Reversals v6📘 Multi EMA + Indicators + Mini-Dashboard + Reversals v6
🧩 Overview
This indicator is a multi-EMA setup that combines trend, momentum, and reversal analysis in a single visual framework.
It integrates four exponential moving averages (EMAs), key oscillators (RSI, MACD, Stochastic, CCI), volatility filtering (ATR), and a dynamic mini-dashboard that summarizes all signals in real time.
Its purpose is to help traders visually confirm trend alignment, filter valid entries, and identify possible trend continuation or reversal points.
It can display buy/sell arrows, detect reversal candles, and issue alerts when trading conditions are met.
⚙️ Core Components
1. Moving Averages (EMA Setup)
EMA1 (fast) and EMA2 (medium) define the short-term trend and trigger bias.
When the price is above both EMAs → bullish bias.
When below → bearish bias.
EMA3 and EMA4 act as trend filters. Their slopes (up or down) confirm overall momentum and help validate signals.
Each EMA has customizable lengths, sources, and colors for up/down trends.
This “EMA stack” is the foundation of the setup — a structured trend-following framework that adapts to market speed and volatility.
2. Momentum and Confirmation Filters
Each indicator can be individually enabled or disabled for flexibility.
RSI: confirms direction (above/below 50).
MACD: detects momentum crossover (MACD > Signal for bullish confirmation).
Stochastic: identifies trend continuation (K > D for longs, K < D for shorts).
CCI: adds trend bias above/below a threshold.
ATR Filter: filters out small, low-volatility candles to reduce noise.
You can activate only the filters that fit your trading plan — for instance, trend traders often use RSI and MACD, while scalpers may rely on Stochastic and ATR.
3. Reversal Detection
The indicator includes an optional Reversal Section that independently detects potential turning points.
It combines multiple configurable criteria:
Candlestick patterns (Bullish Hammer, Shooting Star).
Large Candle filter — detects unusually large bars (relative to close).
Price-to-EMA distance — identifies overextended moves that might revert.
RSI Divergence — detects potential momentum shifts.
RSI Overbought/Oversold zones (70/30 by default).
Doji Candles — sign of indecision.
A bullish or bearish reversal signal appears when enough selected criteria are met.
All sub-modules can be toggled on/off individually, giving you full control over sensitivity.
4. Signal Logic
Buy and sell signals are triggered when EMA alignment and the chosen confirmations agree:
Buy Signal
→ Price above EMA1 & EMA2
→ Confirmations (RSI/MACD/Stoch/CCI/ATR) pass
→ Trend filters (EMA3/EMA4) point upward
Sell Signal
→ Price below EMA1 & EMA2
→ Confirmations align bearishly
→ Trend filters (EMA3/EMA4) slope downward
Reversal signals can appear independently, even against the current EMA trend, depending on your settings.
5. Visual Dashboard
A mini-dashboard appears near the chart showing:
Current trade bias (LONG / SHORT / NEUTRAL)
EMA3 and EMA4 trend directions (↑ / ↓)
Quick visual bars (🟩 / 🟥) for each filter: RSI, MACD, Stoch, ATR, CCI, EMA filters
Reversal criteria status (Doji, RSI divergence, candle size, etc.)
This panel gives you a compact overview of all indicator states at a glance.
The color of the panel changes dynamically — green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral.
6. Alerts
Built-in alerts allow automation or notifications:
Buy Alert
Sell Alert
Reversal Buy
Reversal Sell
You can connect these alerts to TradingView notifications or external bots for semi-automated execution.
💡 How to Use
✅ Trend-Following Setup
Focus on trades in the direction of EMA1 & EMA2.
Confirm with EMA3 & EMA4 trending in the same direction.
Use RSI/MACD/Stoch filters to ensure momentum supports the trade.
Avoid entries when ATR filter indicates low volatility.
🔄 Reversal Setup
Enable the Reversal section for potential tops/bottoms.
Look for reversal buy signals near support zones or after strong downtrends.
Use RSI divergence or Doji + Hammer signals as confirmation.
Combine with key chart areas (supply/demand or previous swing levels).
⚖️ Combination Approach
Trade continuation signals when all EMAs are aligned and filters are green.
Trade reversals only when at a key area (support/resistance) and confirmed by reversal conditions.
Always check higher-timeframe bias before entering a trade.
🧭 Practical Tips
Use different EMA sets for different timeframes:
9/21/50/100 for swing or trend trades.
5/13/34/89 for intraday scalping.
Turn off filters you don’t use to reduce lag.
Always validate signals with price structure, not just indicator alignment.
Practice in replay mode before live trading.
🗺️ Key Chart Confluence (Highly Recommended)
Although the indicator provides structured signals, its best use is in confluence with:
Support and resistance levels
Supply/demand zones
Trendlines and channels
Liquidity pools
Volume clusters
Signals aligned with strong key areas on the chart tend to have greater reliability than isolated indicator triggers.
I use EMA 1 - 20 Open ; EMA 2 - 20 Close ; EMA 3 - 50 ; EMA 4 - 200 or 100 , but that's me...
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical tool, not a guarantee of results.
Trading involves risk, and no signal is ever 100% accurate.
Every trader should develop a personal strategy, use proper risk management, and adapt settings to their instrument and timeframe.
Always combine indicator signals with key chart areas, higher-timeframe context, and your own analysis before taking a trade.
Order-Flow Proxy (VWAP Deviation Zones)Order-Flow Proxy (VWAP Deviation Zones) helps traders visualize when market price moves unusually far away from its Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) — a key fair-value level used by institutional participants.
When price stretches too far above or below VWAP, it often signals temporary imbalance between buying and selling pressure.
This tool highlights those moments using simple color zones and an optional statistical Z-Score filter for deeper precision.
In short: it’s a clean, minimal mean-reversion indicator showing when price is statistically “too far” from fair value.
Red zone → Price extended above VWAP → possible buyer exhaustion or short setup.
Green zone → Price extended below VWAP → possible seller exhaustion or long setup.
VWAP line → Acts as a dynamic fair-value anchor.
Concept:
VWAP combines both price and traded volume to define where most transactions occurred.
Deviations from it — measured either by a fixed distance (1%) or by Z-Score — can reveal overvaluation or undervaluation zones used by professional traders for contrarian setups.
How to use:
Apply the indicator to any intraday chart (1m–1h recommended).
Watch for background color shifts — red or green.
Optionally enable the Z-Score filter to focus only on statistically extreme deviations.
Combine with volume spikes, liquidity sweeps, or your own order-flow tools for confirmation.
Tip:
Best used as a visual overlay for detecting stretched markets and potential reversals.
HTF Candles & ReversalsThis indicator, "HTF Candles & Reversals," provides multi-timeframe (HTF) candlestick overlays combined with advanced market structure and reversal detection, all on your main TradingView chart. It empowers traders to visualize the broader trend context, spot potential price reversals, and identify Fair Value Gaps (Imbalances) across up to eight user-selectable higher timeframes, supporting robust, efficient technical analysis.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Candle Display: Overlays up to eight higher timeframe candles (5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M) on any chart. Each HTF candle features customizable body, border, and wick colors for bullish and bearish states.
Live Price Action Representation: HTF candle data is updated in real time, reflecting both completed and developing HTF candles for continuous context during current price moves.
Reversal Pattern Detection: Spots key bullish and bearish reversal patterns on both standard and HTF candles, marking them with green (bullish) and red (bearish) triangles beneath or above the main candles. HTF candles are optionally colored (lime/orange) upon identifying stronger reversal setups.
Fair Value Gap (Imbalance) Visualization: Automatically detects and highlights HTF imbalances (FVG) with transparent rectangles and mid-line overlays, indicating zones of potential price revisits and trading interest.
Day-of-Week Labels: For daily HTF candles, annotated with custom-positioned weekday labels (above/below), aiding in session structure recognition.
Customizable Visuals: Extensive settings for the distance, width, transparency, and buffer of overlaid candles, as well as label/timer position, alignment, sizing, and coloring—including per-element control for clarity and chart aesthetics.

Disclaimer: This indicator is intended for educational and analytical purposes. Always conduct your own analysis and manage risk appropriately when trading financial markets.
Aurora Flow Oscillator [QuantAlgo]The Aurora Flow Oscillator is an advanced momentum-based technical indicator designed to identify market direction, momentum shifts, and potential reversal zones using adaptive filtering techniques. It visualizes price momentum through a dynamic oscillator that quantifies trend strength and direction, helping traders and investors recognize momentum shifts and trading opportunities across various timeframes and asset class.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Aurora Flow Oscillator employs a sophisticated mathematical approach with adaptive momentum filtering to analyze market conditions, including:
Price-Based Momentum Calculation: Calculates logarithmic price changes to measure the rate and magnitude of market movement
Adaptive Momentum Filtering: Applies an advanced filtering algorithm to smooth momentum calculations while preserving important signals
Acceleration Analysis: Incorporates momentum acceleration to identify shifts in market direction before they become obvious
Signal Normalization: Automatically scales the oscillator output to a range between -100 and 100 for consistent interpretation across different market conditions
The indicator processes price data through multiple filtering stages, applying mathematical principles including exponential smoothing with adaptive coefficients. This creates an oscillator that dynamically adjusts to market volatility while maintaining responsiveness to genuine trend changes.
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Momentum Flow and Extreme Zone Identification
The oscillator presents market momentum through an intuitive visual display that clearly indicates both direction and strength:
Above Zero: Indicates positive momentum and potential bullish conditions
Below Zero: Indicates negative momentum and potential bearish conditions
Slope Direction: The angle and direction of the oscillator provide immediate insight into momentum strength
Zero Line Crossings: Signal potential trend changes and new directional momentum
The indicator also identifies potential overbought and oversold market conditions through extreme zone markings:
Upper Zone (>50): Indicates strong bullish momentum that may be approaching exhaustion
Lower Zone (<-50): Indicates strong bearish momentum that may be approaching exhaustion
Extreme Boundaries (±95): Mark potentially unsustainable momentum levels where reversals become increasingly likely
These zones are displayed with gradient intensity that increases as the oscillator moves toward extremes, helping traders and investors:
→ Identify potential reversal zones
→ Determine appropriate entry and exit points
→ Gauge overall market sentiment strength
2. Customizable Trading Style Presets
The Aurora Flow Oscillator offers pre-configured settings for different trading approaches:
Default (80,150): Balanced configuration suitable for most trading and investing situations.
Scalping (5,80): Highly responsive settings for ultra-short-term trades. Generates frequent signals and catches quick price movements. Best for 1-15min charts when making many trades per day.
Day Trading (8,120): Optimized for intraday movements with faster response than default settings while maintaining reasonable signal quality. Ideal for 5-60min or 4h-12h timeframes.
Swing Trading (10,200): Designed for multi-day positions with stronger noise filtering. Focuses on capturing larger price swings while avoiding minor fluctuations. Works best on 1-4h and daily charts.
Position Trading (14,250): For longer-term position traders/investors seeking significant market trends. Reduces false signals by heavily filtering market noise. Ideal for daily or even weekly charts.
Trend Following (16,300): Maximum smoothing that prioritizes established directional movements over short-term fluctuations. Best used on daily and weekly charts, but can also be used for lower timeframe trading.
Countertrend (7,100): Tuned to detect potential reversals and exhaustion points in trends. More sensitive to momentum shifts than other presets. Effective on 15min-4h charts, as well as daily and weekly charts.
Each preset automatically adjusts internal parameters for optimal performance in the selected trading context, providing flexibility across different market approaches without requiring complex manual configuration.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
1/ Trend Analysis and Interpretation
→ Direction Assessment: Evaluate the oscillator's position relative to zero to determine underlying momentum bias
→ Momentum Strength: Measure the oscillator's distance from zero within the -100 to +100 range to quantify momentum magnitude
→ Trend Consistency: Monitor the oscillator's path for sustained directional movement without frequent zero-line crossings
→ Reversal Detection: Watch for oscillator divergence from price and deceleration of movement when approaching extreme zones
2/ Signal Generation Strategies
Depending on your trading approach, multiple signal strategies can be employed:
Trend Following Signals:
Enter long positions when the oscillator crosses above zero
Enter short positions when the oscillator crosses below zero
Add to positions on pullbacks while maintaining the overall trend direction
Countertrend Signals:
Look for potential reversals when the oscillator reaches extreme zones (±95)
Enter contrary positions when momentum shows signs of exhaustion
Use oscillator divergence with price as additional confirmation
Momentum Shift Signals:
Enter positions when oscillator changes direction after establishing a trend
Exit positions when oscillator direction reverses against your position
Scale position size based on oscillator strength percentage
3/ Timeframe Optimization
The indicator can be effectively applied across different timeframes with these considerations:
Lower Timeframes (1-15min):
Use Scalping or Day Trading presets
Focus on quick momentum shifts and zero-line crossings
Be cautious of noise in extreme market conditions
Medium Timeframes (30min-4h):
Use Default or Swing Trading presets
Look for established trends and potential reversal zones
Combine with support/resistance analysis for entry/exit precision
Higher Timeframes (Daily+):
Use Position Trading or Trend Following presets
Focus on major trend identification and long-term positioning
Use extreme zones for position management rather than immediate reversals
🟢 Pro Tips
Price Momentum Period:
→ Lower values (5-7) increase sensitivity to minor price fluctuations but capture more market noise
→ Higher values (10-16) emphasize sustained momentum shifts at the cost of delayed response
→ Adjust based on your timeframe (lower for shorter timeframes, higher for longer timeframes)
Oscillator Filter Period:
→ Lower values (80-120) produce more frequent directional changes and earlier response to momentum shifts
→ Higher values (200-300) filter out shorter-term fluctuations to highlight dominant market cycles
→ Match to your typical holding period (shorter holding time = lower filter values)
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
→ Compare oscillator readings across different timeframes for confluence
→ Look for alignment between higher and lower timeframe signals
→ Use higher timeframe for trend direction, lower for earlier entries
Volatility-Adaptive Trading:
→ Use oscillator strength to adjust position sizing (stronger = larger)
→ Consider reducing exposure when oscillator reaches extreme zones
→ Implement tighter stops during periods of oscillator acceleration
Combination Strategies:
→ Pair with volume indicators for confirmation of momentum shifts
→ Use with support/resistance levels for strategic entry and exit points
→ Combine with volatility indicators for comprehensive market context
Smart MACD Reversal Oscillator Pro [TradeDots]The TradeDots Smart MACD Reversal Oscillator Pro is an advanced technical analysis tool that combines traditional MACD functionality with multi-layered signal detection and divergence identification systems. This comprehensive oscillator helps traders identify potential market reversals, trend continuations, and extremes with greater precision than conventional indicators.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
Accumulation & Distribution Detection System
The indicator begins with a proprietary calculation that identifies potential accumulation and distribution phases:
Calculation: Processes EMA differentials with specific time constants to detect underlying accumulation/distribution pressure
Visualization: Green-filled areas indicate accumulation phases (bullish pressure building) while red-filled areas show distribution phases (bearish pressure building)
Significance: This system often identifies trend reversals before traditional indicators by detecting institutional buying/selling activity
Multi-Timeframe MACD Implementation
Unlike traditional MACD indicators that use a single timeframe, this oscillator incorporates multiple calculation methods:
1. Primary Oscillator: Uses a proprietary calculation that combines price extremes with smoothed averages:
Implements specialized moving average types (SMMA and ZLEMA)
Generates a histogram that changes color based on price position relative to these averages
Produces a signal line that identifies crossover opportunities
2. Secondary MACD: Traditional MACD implementation with customizable parameters:
User-selectable MA types (SMA/EMA) for both oscillator and signal line
Color-coded histogram for momentum visualization
Separate crossover detection system
Dynamic Band System
The indicator implements an innovative dynamic band system to identify overbought and oversold conditions:
Band Calculation: Analyzes historical oscillator values to establish statistically significant extremes
Adaptive Scaling: Automatically adjusts to different market volatility regimes using a customizable Y-axis scale factor
Signal Integration: Incorporates band levels into signal generation for higher-probability trades
Signal Generation System
Four distinct signal types are generated to identify potential trading opportunities:
Green Dots: Bullish crossover signals (primary oscillator crosses above signal line)
Red Dots: Bearish crossover signals (primary oscillator crosses below signal line)
Blue Dots: Secondary MACD bullish crossovers in oversold territory
Orange Dots: Secondary MACD bearish crossovers in overbought territory
Advanced Divergence Detection
The oscillator incorporates a sophisticated divergence detection system:
Regular Divergences: Identifies when price makes lower lows while the oscillator makes higher lows (bullish) or price makes higher highs while the oscillator makes lower highs (bearish)
Hidden Divergences: Optional detection of continuation patterns (currently disabled by default)
Visual Markers: Clear labels identifying divergence formations directly on the chart
Zero-Line Filter: Optional filtering to only detect divergences that don't cross the zero line
🛠️ HOW TO USE
Signal Interpretation
Momentum Direction
Histogram Color: Green shades indicate bullish momentum, red shades indicate bearish momentum
Oscillator Position: Above zero indicates bullish momentum, below zero indicates bearish momentum
Filled Background: Green fill shows accumulation phases, red fill shows distribution phases

Bullish Divergence + Green Dot: Highest probability reversal signal (price making lower lows while oscillator makes higher lows, followed by crossover)
Green Dot Below Short Average Line: Strong oversold reversal signal
Green Dot + Blue Dot Alignment: Multiple indicator confirmation
Green Dot During Green Fill Expansion: Trend continuation signal
Sell Signals (In Order of Strength)
Bearish Divergence + Red Dot: Highest probability reversal signal (price making higher highs while oscillator makes lower highs, followed by crossover)
Red Dot Above Long Average Line: Strong overbought reversal signal
Red Dot + Orange Dot Alignment: Multiple indicator confirmation
Red Dot During Red Fill Expansion: Trend continuation signal
Trading Strategies
Divergence Trading Strategy
Identify "Bullish" or "Bearish" divergence labels on the chart
Wait for confirming dot signal in the same direction
Enter when both divergence and dot signal align
Set stops based on recent swing points
Target the opposite band or previous significant level
Overbought/Oversold Reversal Strategy
Wait for the oscillator to reach extreme bands (Long or Short Average lines)
Look for crossover signals at these extreme levels:
Bullish Crossover (Oversold): Green dots when oscillator is below Short Average
Bearish Crossover (Overbought): Red dots when oscillator is above Long Average
Enter when price confirms the reversal
Set stops beyond the recent extreme
Target the opposite band or at least the zero line
Multi-Confirmation Strategy
For highest probability trades, look for:
Multiple signal types aligning (e.g., Green + Blue dots or Red + Orange dots)
Signals occurring at band extremes
Divergence patterns reinforcing the signal direction
Background fill color supporting the signal (green fill for buys, red fill for sells)
⚙️ CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

FVG Channel [LuxAlgo]The FVG Channel indicator displays a channel constructed from the averages of unmitigated historical fair value gaps (FVG), allowing to identify trends and potential reversals in the market.
Users can control the amount of FVGs to consider for the calculation of the channels, as well as their degree of smoothness through user settings.
🔶 USAGE
The FVG Channel is constructed by averaging together recent unmitigated Bullish FVGs (contributing to the creation of the upper bands), and Bearish unmitigated FVGs (contributing to the creation of the lower bands) within a lookback determined by the user. A higher lookback will return longer-term indications from the indicator.
The channel includes 5 bands, with one upper and one lower outer extremities, as well as an inner series of values determined using the Fibonacci ratios (respectively 0.786, 0.5, 0.236) from the channel's outer extremities.
An uptrend can be identified by price holding above the inner upper band (obtained from the 0.786 ratio), this band can also provide occasional support when the price retraces to it while in an uptrend.
Breaking below the inner upper band with an unwillingness to reach above again is a clear sign of hesitation in the market and can be indicative of an upcoming consolidation or reversal.
This can directly be applied to downtrends as well, below are examples displaying both scenarios.
Uptrend Example:
Downtrend Example:
🔹 Breakout Levels
When the price mitigates all FVGs in a single direction except for 1, the indicator will display a "Breakout Level". This is the level that price will need to cross in order for all FVGs in that direction to be mitigated, because of this they can also be aptly called "Last Stand Levels".
These levels can be considered as potential support and resistance levels, however, should always be monitored for breakouts since a substantial push above or below these points would indicate strong momentum.
🔹 Signals
The indicator includes Bullish and Bearish Signals, these signals fire when all FVGs for a single direction have been mitigated and an engulfing candle occurs in the opposite direction. These are reversal signals and should be used alongside other indicators to appropriately manage risk.
Note: When all FVGs in a single direction have been mitigated, the candles will change colors accordingly.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects and stores the mitigation levels of the respective bullish and bearish FVGs:
For Bullish FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG.
For Bearish FVGs this is the top of the FVG.
The data is managed to only consider a specific amount of FVG mitigation levels, determined by the set "Unmitigated FVG Lookback". If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the memory is full, the oldest will be deleted.
The averages displayed (Channel Upper and Lower) are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent obtained averages.
Note: To view the mitigation levels average obtained in the first step, the "Smoothing Length" can be set to 1.
🔶 SETTINGS
Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVG mitigation levels that the script will use to calculate the channel.
Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the channel to reduce noise from the raw data.
Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.
🔵 Settings
🟣 CISD Logical settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
🟣 SFP Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 CISD Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 SFP Display settings

Gaussian Fisher Transform Price Reversals - FTRHello Traders !
Looking for better trading results ?
"This indicator shows you how to identify price reversals in a timely manner." John F. Ehlers
Introduction :
The Gaussian Fisher Transform Price Reversals indicator, dubbed FTR for short, is a stat based price reversal detection indicator inspired by and based on the work of the electrical engineer now private trader John F. Ehlers.
The Fisher Transform :
It is a common assumption that prices have a gaussian / normal probability density function(PDF), i.e. a sample of n close prices would be normally distributed if the probability of observing a price value say at any given standard deviation range is equal to that probability in the case of the normal distribution, e.g. 68% off all samples fell within one standard deviation around the mean, which is what we would expect if the data was normal.
However Price Action is not normally distributed and thus can not be conventionally interpreted in this way, Formally the Fisher Transform, transforms the distribution of bounded ranging price action (were price action takes values in a range from -1 to 1) into that of a normal distribution, alternatively it may be said the Fisher Transform changes the PDF of any waveform so that the transformed output has n approximately Gaussian PDF, It does so through the following equations. taken directly from the work of John F. Ehlers - Using The Fisher Transform
By substituting price data in the above formulas, bounded ranging price actions (over a given user defined period lookback - this determines the range price ranges in, see the Intermediate formula above) distribution is transformed to that in the normal case. This means when the input, the Intermediate ,(the Midpoint - see formula above) approaches either limit within the range the outputs are greatly amplified, this amplification accentuates /puts more weight on the larger deviations or limits within the range, conversely when price action is varying round the mean of the range the output is approximately equal to unity (the input is approximately equal to the input, the intermediate)
The inputs (Intermediates) are converted to normal outputs and the nonlinear Transfer of the Fisher Transform with varying senesitivity's (gammas) can be seen in the graph / image above. Although sensitivity adjustments are not currently available in this script (I forgot to add it) the outputs may be greatly amplified as gamma (the coefficient of the Fisher Transformation - see Fish equation) approaches 1. the purple line show this graphically, as a higher gamma leads to a greater amplification than in the standard case (the red line which is the standard fisher transformation, the black plot is the Fish with a gamma of 1, which is unity sensativity)
Reversal plots and Breakouts :
- Support lines are plotted with their corresponding Fish value when there is a crossover of the Fish and Fish SMA <= a given standard deviation of Fish
- Resistance lines are plotted with their corresponding Fish value when there is a crossunder of the Fish and Fish SMA >= a given standard deviation of Fish
- Reversals are these support and resistance line plots
Breakouts and Volume bars :
Breakouts cause the reversal lines to break (when the high/low is above the resistance/support), Breakouts are more "high quality" when they occur conditional on high volume, the highlighted bars represent volume standard deviations ranging from -3 to 3. When breakouts occure on high volume this may be a sign of the continutaion of the trend (reversals would signify the start of a new trend).
Hope you enjoy, Happy Trading !
(be sure to rocket the script if you liked it, this helps me know which of my scripts are the most useful)
Rainbow Collection - BlueSlopes are an increasingly key concept in Technical Analysis. The most basic type is to calculate them on the prices, but also on technical indicators such as moving averages and the RSI.
In technical analysis, you generally use the RSI to detect imminent reversal moves within a range. In the case of the Blue indicator, we are calculating the slope of the market price and then calculating the RSI of that slope in order to detect instances of reversal.
The Blue indicator is therefore used as follows:
* A bullish signal is generated whenever the 21-period RSI of the 21-period market slope surpasses 30 after having been below it but remains below 35.
*A bearish signal is generated whenever the 21-period RSI of the 21-period market slope breaks 70 after having been above it but remains above 65.
The aim of the Blue indicator is to capture reversals as early as possible through a combination of slopes and entry techniques.
Jurik-Filtered, Adaptive Laguerre PPO [Loxx]Jurik-Filtered, Adaptive Laguerre PPO is an indicator used to find reversals. Smoothing with a Jurik Filter reduces noise and better identifies reversal points.
What is Laguerre Filter?
The Adaptive Laguerre is based on the Laguerre filter, described by John Ehlers in his paper “Time Warp – Without Space Travel”. It applies a variable gamma factor, based on how well the filter is tracking previous price movement. As with other adaptive moving averages, the Adaptive Laguerre tracks trending markets closely but will see less changes in range-bound markets.
The Adaptive Laguerre filter allows for an adjustment of the simple Laguerre filter. When price moves away from the filter, it becomes faster. When price moves sideward, the filter gets slower. Accordingly, this indicator belongs to the same class of moving average as the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA). It similar to the Volatility Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) developed by Tushar Chande. The Adaptive Laguerre filter is smoother than the VIDYA and will adjust slower to price action after consolidations.
What is Jurik Volty?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.
What is the Jurik Moving Average?
Have you noticed how moving averages add some lag (delay) to your signals? ... especially when price gaps up or down in a big move, and you are waiting for your moving average to catch up? Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines.
Ideally, you would like a filtered signal to be both smooth and lag-free. Lag causes delays in your trades, and increasing lag in your indicators typically result in lower profits. In other words, late comers get what's left on the table after the feast has already begun.

[UPRIGHT Trading] Awesome STC+Hello Traders,
I hope you all are doing well.
Today I'm releasing another one of my favorites: the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC). In 2008, Doug Schaff publically released the STC as an improvement on cycle oscillators and the MACD, hence its common nickname, "The better MACD."
This oscillator is essentially a fusion of the benefits of trend and cycle indicators; the idea is to minimize their drawbacks, such as lags or false signals. The STC is mainly used to determine or confirm price direction and market reversals.
We calculate the STC as a double smoothed stochastic of the MACD, which outputs an oscillator that moves between 0 and 100.
How is it typically used?
In trending markets, we can expect the oscillator to move up if the market is in the accelerating uptrend and an accelerating downtrend are to push the oscillator down.
In sideways markets, the STC shows oversold when it reverses after falling below 25; overbought when the STC turns down from above 75.
How the Awesome STC+ is different:
This STC uses several complex equations and filters to improve accuracy and reduce lag.
My original STC wave.
Multiple extremely accurate Buy/Sell signals not found on a traditional STC indicator.
Ability to use 4 different background highlights and several buy/sell and confirmation signals.
Fully customizable (as always), ability to turn on or off any signals, change any of the colors to suit your needs.
Pre-filled Alerts.
Reversals and Continuations.
Chart should look like this:

Extended Floor Trader PivotsThe Floor Trader Pivots indicator is a technical indicator that has long been used in the pits of exchanges. They define an equilibrium point called the primary pivot point or central pivot. Through much research, I can find no one to directly credit for establishing the original calculations which are used in this indicator. The original formulas calculate the primary pivot point (PP) and support/resistance levels based off the PP. Most pivot indicators only derive two support/resistance levels (R1, S1, R2, S2). This indicator provides the PP level as well as four additional support/resistance levels (R1-4, S1-4). This indicator also provides standard Open, High, Low, and Close levels. The calculations are as follows:
PP = (High + Low + Close) / 3
R1 = (PP * 2) - Low
S1 = (PP * 2) - High
R2 = (PP - S1) + R1
S2 = PP - (R1 - S1)
R3 = (PP - S2) + R1
S3 = PP - (R2 - S1)
R4 = (PP - S2) + R2
S4 = PP - (R2 - S2)
Pivot levels can be calculated for any time frame. This indicator provides Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly plots at each pivot level (PP - R4/S4).
This indicator can be used for a variety of different trading strategies and is widely used in equity markets, but can also be applied to Forex and Futures markets. It is most often used as profit taking/loss limiting levels as well as identifying possible areas for trend reversals.
Cross UO v1This is my first script.
I use 2x UO's as a tool to identify the stability and overall condition of a trend.
The UO colored blue is more reactive to price change (candles) than red one, because it takes into account less candles.
The difference in rates of change is a mass mental condition of a market.
The combo might predict the reversals too.
How to read a chart using it?
We'd know the uptrend is stable when Blue UO fluctuates OVER Red UO.
As blue UO reaches red band - it's time for reversal.
To confirm the reversal of an uptrend - Blue UO must cross below Red UO.
During downtrend, the blue and red UOs are reaching green band which would indicate that market is oversold.
Once Blue UO touches green band and crosses above red UO - it's time for downtrend to reverse it's direction.
Kinetic Scalper [BULLBYTE]KINETIC SCALPER - ADVANCED MOMENTUM & CONFLUENCE TRADING SYSTEM
A SOPHISTICATED MULTI-FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATOR FOR PRECISION ENTRIES
The Kinetic Scalper is a comprehensive trading analysis tool that combines volume-weighted momentum calculations, multi-oscillator divergence detection, and a proprietary 15-factor confluence scoring system to identify high-probability reversal setups across all timeframes.
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL
This is NOT a simple mashup of existing indicators.
The Kinetic Scalper features a completely custom momentum engine called the "Kinetic Pulse" - a volume-weighted momentum oscillator with Fisher Transform normalization that fundamentally differs from standard RSI or other momentum indicators. Every component feeds into a unified algorithmic framework designed specifically for this system.
KEY INNOVATIONS:
KINETIC PULSE ENGINE
Unlike standard RSI which uses simple price changes, the Kinetic Pulse applies:
→ Volume weighting to price movements (high-volume moves carry more weight)
→ EMA smoothing instead of traditional SMA (faster response to changes)
→ Fisher Transform normalization for improved signal clarity
→ Adaptive period adjustment based on current volatility regime
→ Result: A momentum oscillator that responds to conviction, not just price noise
15-FACTOR CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
Every signal is graded based on the number of confirming factors present:
→ Momentum position (oversold/overbought extremes)
→ Momentum velocity (direction change confirmation)
→ Momentum acceleration (strength of reversal)
→ Multi-oscillator divergence (price vs. 3 oscillators)
→ Volume confirmation (above-average participation)
→ Volume delta analysis (buying vs. selling pressure)
→ Higher timeframe alignment (trend confirmation from larger timeframe)
→ Session timing (major forex session awareness)
→ Structure clearance (clear path to profit targets)
→ Support/resistance proximity (confluence with key levels)
→ Market regime filtering (trending vs. choppy conditions)
Signals are graded A+, A, or B based on how many factors align:
• CONSERVATIVE MODE: A+ requires 12+ factors, A requires 9+, B requires 7+
• BALANCED MODE: A+ requires 10+ factors, A requires 7+, B requires 5+
• AGGRESSIVE MODE: A+ requires 8+ factors, A requires 5+, B requires 3+
TRADE ANALYSIS STATE MACHINE
A sophisticated monitoring system that tracks trade conditions in real-time using:
→ 5-state analysis framework (Factors Aligned / Positive Bias / Mixed Signals / Factors Weakening / Negative Bias)
→ Hysteresis-based transitions (different thresholds to enter vs. exit states)
→ Confidence smoothing with EMA (reduces noise, prevents flip-flopping)
→ Minimum commitment periods before state changes
→ Override logic for significant events (near TP/SL, momentum reversals)
→ Result: Stable, actionable guidance that doesn't change on every bar
INSTRUMENT-AWARE CALIBRATION
Automatically detects what you're trading and applies optimized parameters:
→ Forex Majors: Standard ATR, high session weight
→ Forex Crosses: Tighter stops, moderate session weight
→ Crypto: Wider stops (1.8x multiplier), reduced session weight (24/7 markets)
→ Indices: Moderate-wide stops, high session weight
→ Commodities: Moderate stops, moderate session weight
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
The Kinetic Scalper is designed to identify high-confluence reversal opportunities by analyzing multiple dimensions of market behavior simultaneously.
CORE FUNCTIONS:
1. SIGNAL GENERATION
→ Identifies potential reversal points at oversold/overbought extremes
→ Confirms with multi-oscillator divergence detection
→ Validates with volume, higher timeframe, and structural analysis
→ Filters out low-probability setups automatically
→ Grades signals based on total confluence factors present
2. AUTOMATED TRADE TRACKING
→ Calculates structure-based or ATR-based stop loss levels
→ Projects take profit targets using risk-to-reward ratios
→ Monitors live position status (P/L, distance to targets, R-multiple)
→ Tracks TP1 and TP2 hits automatically
→ Displays outcome markers (TP HIT, PARTIAL WIN, STOPPED)
3. REAL-TIME CONDITION MONITORING
→ Analyzes 6 factor categories during active trades
→ Provides confidence scoring (0-100 scale)
→ Generates actionable guidance based on current market state
→ Alerts when conditions deteriorate or improve
→ Helps with trade management decisions
4. COMPREHENSIVE MARKET ANALYSIS
→ Session detection (Asian, London, New York, Overlap)
→ Volatility regime identification (Low, Normal, High, Extreme)
→ Trend state classification (Trending Up/Down, Ranging, Transitioning)
→ Volume analysis (relative volume and delta approximation)
→ Choppiness filtering (blocks signals in ranging markets)
WHY USE THIS INDICATOR
PROBLEM: Most momentum indicators generate too many false signals at extremes.
SOLUTION: The Kinetic Scalper requires MULTIPLE confirming factors before generating a signal, dramatically reducing noise and focusing on high-confluence setups.
ADVANTAGES:
✓ QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
→ Signal grading ensures you can filter for only the highest-quality setups
→ A+ signals have 10-12+ confirming factors aligned
→ Cooldown periods prevent over-trading the same move
✓ COMPLETE TRADE FRAMEWORK
→ Entry signals with confluence justification
→ Calculated stop loss based on market structure or ATR
→ Two profit targets with clear risk-to-reward ratios
→ Live trade monitoring with factor analysis
→ Outcome tracking and visual markers
✓ ADAPTIVE TO MARKET CONDITIONS
→ Volatility-based period adjustment for momentum calculations
→ Instrument-specific ATR multipliers
→ Session awareness for forex traders
→ Higher timeframe trend filtering
→ Automatic regime detection (trending vs. choppy)
✓ TRANSPARENT METHODOLOGY
→ Every input has detailed tooltips explaining its purpose
→ Signal tooltips show exactly why a signal was generated
→ Dashboard displays all relevant market conditions
→ Factor scores are visible during trades
→ No "black box" mystery calculations
✓ NON-REPAINTING & RELIABLE
→ All signals use barstate.isconfirmed (only on closed bars)
→ Higher timeframe data uses lookahead_off with historical offset
→ No future data access or repainting behavior
→ What you see is what you get - signals don't disappear or move
HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS
SIGNAL GENERATION PROCESS:
STEP 1: MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
The Kinetic Pulse engine calculates volume-weighted momentum:
→ Price changes are weighted by volume ratio vs. 20-bar average
→ High-volume moves have more influence on the oscillator
→ Gains and losses are smoothed using EMA (not SMA like RSI)
→ Fisher Transform is applied for normalization to 0-100 scale
→ Result: Momentum reading that emphasizes conviction, not noise
STEP 2: REVERSAL DETECTION
The indicator looks for potential reversal conditions:
→ Kinetic Pulse reaching oversold zone (below dynamic lower threshold)
→ Momentum velocity turning positive after being negative (for longs)
→ OR bullish divergence detected on multiple oscillators
→ Price making lower lows while oscillators make higher lows = divergence
STEP 3: MULTI-OSCILLATOR DIVERGENCE CONFIRMATION
Divergence is validated across three sources:
→ Kinetic Pulse divergence
→ CCI divergence
→ Stochastic divergence
→ Multiple oscillators confirming divergence increases signal reliability
STEP 4: CONFLUENCE FACTOR SCORING
The system evaluates all 15 possible confirming factors:
→ Momentum position: Is pulse oversold/overbought? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Momentum direction: Is velocity reversing? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Momentum acceleration: Is reversal strengthening? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Divergence count: How many oscillators show divergence? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Volume strength: Is volume above 1.3x average? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Volume delta: Is cumulative delta positive/negative? (+0 to +1 point)
→ HTF alignment: Does higher timeframe support direction? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Session timing: Is it a prime trading session? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Clear air: Is path to targets clear of obstacles? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Structure confluence: Are we near support/resistance? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Market regime: Is market trending, not choppy? (+0 to +1 point)
Total possible score: 15 points
Minimum for signal: 3-12 points depending on sensitivity mode
STEP 5: FILTER VALIDATION
Before generating a signal, additional checks are performed:
→ Volume must be above minimum threshold (if filter enabled)
→ Higher timeframe must not oppose the signal direction (if filter enabled)
→ Target path must be clear of major resistance/support (if filter enabled)
→ Volatility must not be EXTREME (blocks signals in chaos)
→ Risk-to-reward ratio must meet minimum requirement
→ Cooldown period must have elapsed since last signal
STEP 6: SIGNAL GRADING
If all filters pass, the signal is graded based on score:
→ A+ Grade: Highest confluence (8-12+ factors depending on sensitivity)
→ A Grade: High confluence (5-9+ factors)
→ B Grade: Moderate confluence (3-7+ factors)
Only graded signals (A+, A, or B) are displayed.
STEP 7: TRADE LEVEL CALCULATION
Stop loss and targets are calculated automatically:
STOP LOSS METHODS:
• Structure-Based: Uses recent swing low/high with ATR buffer, constrained by min/max ATR limits
• ATR-Based: Pure ATR multiplier with min/max constraints
• Fixed ATR: Simple ATR multiplier, no adjustments
TARGET CALCULATION:
• TP1: Entry ± (Stop Distance × Target 1 R:R)
• TP2: Entry ± (Stop Distance × Target 2 R:R)
• Default: TP1 at 1.0 R:R (1:1), TP2 at 2.0 R:R (1:2)
STEP 8: TRADE MONITORING
Once a signal is taken, the indicator tracks:
→ Current P/L in ticks and R-multiples
→ Distance to each target in ATR units
→ Distance to stop loss in ATR units
→ TP1 hit detection (marks with label, updates lines)
→ TP2 hit detection (closes trade, marks outcome)
→ Stop loss hit detection (closes trade, differentiates partial vs. full loss)
STEP 9: FACTOR ANALYSIS (DURING TRADES)
The Trade Analysis Panel monitors 6 key factor categories:
→ Momentum: Is momentum still aligned with trade direction? (-15 to +15 pts)
→ Position: Current R-multiple position (-12 to +12 pts)
→ Volume: Is volume still supportive? (-6 to +6 pts)
→ HTF Alignment: Does HTF still support trade? (-6 to +8 pts)
→ Target Proximity: How close are we to targets? (0 to +10 pts)
→ Stop Proximity: Are we dangerously close to stop? (-15 to +3 pts)
Raw scores are summed and smoothed using 5-bar EMA to create Confidence Score (0-100).
STEP 10: STATE MACHINE TRANSITIONS
Based on smoothed confidence, the system transitions between 5 states:
→ FACTORS ALIGNED (72+): Everything looks good
→ POSITIVE BIAS (58-72): Conditions favorable
→ MIXED SIGNALS (48-58): Neutral conditions
→ FACTORS WEAKENING (22-48): Concerning signals
→ NEGATIVE BIAS (<22): Poor conditions
Hysteresis prevents rapid flipping between states (different entry/exit thresholds).

→ When to adjust:
• Increase to 1.2-1.5 for only high-volume signals
• Decrease to 0.5-0.7 for more permissive filtering
Structure Clearance Check
→ Purpose: Ensures clear path to targets (no nearby resistance/support)
→ Default: ON
→ Impact: Prevents trades with immediate obstacles
→ Recommended: Keep enabled
Minimum Bars Between Signals
→ Purpose: Cooldown period after each signal
→ Range: 1 to 10
→ Default: 3
→ Impact: After a signal, this many bars must pass before another in same direction
→ When to adjust:
• Increase to 5-7 to prevent over-trading
• Decrease to 1-2 for faster re-entries
ADVANCED TUNING:
Momentum Period
→ Purpose: Base period for Kinetic Pulse calculation
→ Range: 5 to 30
→ Default: 14
→ When to adjust:
• Lower (8-10): More responsive, noisier
• Higher (18-21): Smoother, slower to react
→ Note: If Adaptive Period enabled, this is adjusted automatically
Adaptive Period
→ Purpose: Auto-adjusts momentum period based on volatility
→ Default: ON
→ Impact: Shortens period in high volatility, lengthens in low volatility
→ Recommended: Keep enabled for automatic optimization
Divergence Lookback
→ Purpose: How far back to search for divergence patterns
→ Range: 10 to 60
→ Default: 30
→ When to adjust:
• Shorter (15-20): Only recent divergences

Choppiness Index Threshold
→ Purpose: Threshold above which market considered choppy
→ Range: 38.2 to 80.0
→ Default: 61.8
→ Impact:
• Lower (50-55): Stricter quality filter (fewer signals in ranging markets)

• Good confluence, most key factors present
• Missing 1-2 optimal conditions
• These are still quality trades
• Recommended action: Standard position size, solid setups
→ B SIGNALS (Moderate Quality)
• 3-7+ confirming factors aligned
• Minimum viable confluence
• May be missing HTF alignment, volume, or session timing
• Higher variance outcomes
• Recommended action: Smaller position size or skip if conservative
SIGNAL NARRATIVE:
Each signal tooltip includes a narrative explaining WHY it was generated:
→ "Multi-divergence at oversold extreme"
• Multiple oscillators showing bullish divergence
• Kinetic Pulse in oversold zone
• High-quality reversal setup
→ "Bullish divergence near support"
• Divergence detected
• Price near key support level (swing low or PDL)
• Structure confluence
→ "Momentum reversal with HTF alignment"
• Kinetic Pulse velocity reversing
• Higher timeframe supports direction
• Strong trend-following setup
→ "Oversold momentum reversal"
• Extreme Kinetic Pulse reading reversing
• May not have divergence but strong momentum shift
READING THE TRADE PLAN:
Every signal comes with a complete trade plan:
→ ENTRY: The close price of the signal candle
• This is where the signal triggered
• If using limit orders, you might improve on this price
→ STOP: Calculated stop loss level
• Based on your Stop Loss Method setting
• Distance shown in ticks
• Risk tolerance: Ensure this represents ≤1-2% of your account
→ TP1: First profit target
• Default: 1:1 risk-reward
• This is your partial profit or first exit
• Consider taking 50% off at TP1
→ TP2: Second profit target
• Default: 1:2 risk-reward
• This is your "full win" target
• Hold remaining position for this level
SIGNAL FREQUENCY EXPECTATIONS:
Frequency varies by timeframe, sensitivity, and market conditions:
→ AGGRESSIVE MODE
• Lower timeframes (1m-5m): 5-15 signals per day
• Mid timeframes (15m-1H): 2-5 signals per day
• Higher timeframes (4H-D): 1-3 signals per week
→ BALANCED MODE (Default)
• Lower timeframes: 3-8 signals per day
• Mid timeframes: 1-3 signals per day
• Higher timeframes: 2-5 signals per week
→ CONSERVATIVE MODE
• Lower timeframes: 1-4 signals per day

USAGE TIPS & BEST PRACTICES
SIGNAL SELECTION:
✓ GRADE MATTERS
→ A+ signals have statistically more confluence factors
→ If you're conservative, trade only A+ signals
→ B signals can work but require more discretion
✓ CONFLUENCE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS
→ Use this indicator as CONFIRMATION, not sole decision criteria
→ Combine with your own support/resistance analysis
→ Check for fundamental events (news, economic data)
→ Respect major round numbers and psychological levels
✓ SESSION TIMING (Forex)
→ Best signals often occur during London/NY overlap
→ Avoid signals 10 minutes before major news releases
→ Asian session signals can be valid but lower liquidity
✓ TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
→ If you get an A+ signal on 15m, check if 1H chart agrees
→ Higher timeframe confirmation adds conviction
→ Avoid signals that oppose the daily/4H trend
TRADE MANAGEMENT:
✓ POSITION SIZING
→ ALWAYS size positions so stop loss = 1-2% of account
→ Never risk more than you can afford to lose
→ Smaller position on B signals, standard on A, larger on A+ (within limits)
✓ PARTIAL PROFIT TAKING
→ Consider taking 50% off at TP1
→ Move stop to breakeven after TP1 hit
→ Let remaining position run to TP2
✓ TRAILING STOPS
→ The indicator doesn't auto-trail stops (manual decision)
→ After TP1, you might manually move stop to entry (breakeven)
→ Consider ATR-based trailing stop for runners
✓ WATCH THE ANALYSIS PANEL
→ If state changes to "Factors Weakening" while in profit, consider exit
→ "Negative Bias" during a trade is a strong warning
→ "Factors Aligned" confirms your trade thesis is still valid
RISK MANAGEMENT:
✓ NEVER IGNORE STOPS
→ The calculated stop is there for a reason
→ Moving stop further away increases risk exponentially
→ If stopped out, accept it and wait for next setup
✓ AVOID REVENGE TRADING
→ If you get stopped out, resist urge to immediately re-enter
→ Signal cooldown helps with this
→ Wait for next qualified signal
✓ RESPECT VOLATILITY WARNINGS
→ If indicator shows "EXTREME" volatility, signals are blocked for a reason
→ Don't force trades in chaotic conditions
→ Wait for regime to normalize
✓ CORRELATION RISK
→ Be aware of correlation if trading multiple pairs
→ EUR/USD and GBP/USD are highly correlated
→ Don't stack risk on correlated instruments
OPTIMIZATION:
✓ START WITH DEFAULTS
→ Default settings are well-tested
→ Don't over-optimize for recent market behavior
→ Give settings at least 20-30 trades before judging
✓ TIMEFRAME-SPECIFIC ADJUSTMENTS
→ Lower timeframes: Consider increasing Signal Distance to 3.0-4.0
→ Higher timeframes: ATR Stop Multiplier might go to 2.0-2.5
→ Crypto: Ensure Instrument Type is set to "Crypto" for proper stops
✓ SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION
→ Too many signals? Switch to Conservative
→ Missing good setups? Try Balanced or Aggressive
→ Quality > Quantity always
✓ KEEP A JOURNAL
→ Track which signal grades work best for you
→ Note which sessions produce best results
→ Review stopped trades for patterns
THINGS TO AVOID:
✗ DON'T chase signals after several bars have passed
✗ DON'T ignore the stop loss or move it further away
✗ DON'T overtrade by taking every B-grade signal
✗ DON'T trade during major news if you're not experienced
✗ DON'T use this as your only analysis tool
✗ DON'T expect 100% win rate (no indicator has this)
✗ DON'T risk more than 1-2% per trade regardless of signal grade
UNDERSTANDING THE METHODOLOGY
WHY VOLUME WEIGHTING?
Traditional momentum oscillators treat all price moves equally. A 10-point move on low volume is weighted the same as a 10-point move on high volume.
The Kinetic Pulse corrects this by:
→ Calculating volume ratio vs. 20-bar average
→ Applying square root transformation to volume ratio (prevents extreme weights)
→ Multiplying price changes by volume weight
→ Result: High-volume moves influence the oscillator more than low-volume noise
This helps filter false breakouts and emphasizes moves with participation.
WHY FISHER TRANSFORM?
Fisher Transform is a mathematical transformation that:
→ Normalizes probability distributions
→ Creates sharper turning points
→ Amplifies extremes while compressing the middle
→ Makes overbought/oversold levels more distinct
Applied to the Kinetic Pulse, it helps identify genuine extremes vs. noise.
WHY MULTI-OSCILLATOR DIVERGENCE?
Single-source divergence can give false signals. By requiring divergence confirmation across multiple oscillators (Kinetic Pulse, CCI, Stochastic), the system filters out:
→ Divergences caused by calculation quirks in one oscillator
→ Temporary momentum anomalies
→ False divergence on noisy, low-timeframe charts
Multiple sources confirming the same pattern increases reliability.
WHY ADAPTIVE PERIODS?
Fixed periods can be:
→ Too slow during high volatility (miss fast reversals)
→ Too fast during low volatility (generate noise)
The adaptive system:
→ Shortens period when ATR ratio > 1.3 (high volatility = need faster response)
→ Lengthens period when ATR ratio < 0.7 (low volatility = need noise filtering)
→ Keeps period in reasonable range (60% to 140% of base period)
→ Result: Oscillator adjusts to current market pace automatically
WHY HYSTERESIS IN STATE MACHINE?
Without hysteresis, the analysis state would flip-flop on every bar, creating:
→ Confusing, contradictory guidance
→ Analysis paralysis
→ Lack of actionable information
Hysteresis solves this by:
→ Using different thresholds to ENTER vs. EXIT a state
→ Example: Enter "Factors Aligned" at 72+ confidence, but don't exit until <62
→ This creates stable states that persist through minor fluctuations
→ Requires minimum commitment period (3 bars) before state changes
→ Overrides commitment for significant events (near TP/SL)
→ Result: Stable, trustworthy analysis that changes only when truly warranted
WHY CONFIDENCE SMOOTHING?
Raw factor scores fluctuate bar-by-bar based on momentary conditions. Smoothing:
→ Uses 5-period EMA on raw confidence scores
→ Filters out single-bar anomalies
→ Preserves genuine trends in confidence
→ Prevents false state transitions
→ Result: More reliable assessment of actual trade health
WHY INSTRUMENT-SPECIFIC PARAMETERS?
Different instruments have different characteristics:
→ Forex is highly liquid, respects technical levels well, standard ATR works
→ Crypto is extremely volatile, needs wider stops (1.8x) to avoid false stops
→ Indices respect session opens strongly, session weighting is important
→ Commodities fall in between
Auto-detection applies research-based multipliers automatically.
WHY STRUCTURE-BASED STOPS?
ATR-based stops can:
→ Place stop in middle of consolidation (easily hit)
→ Ignore obvious invalidation levels
→ Be too tight during expansion or too wide during contraction
Structure-based stops:
→ Use actual swing highs/lows (where traders actually place stops)
→ Add small ATR buffer to avoid stop hunting
→ Constrain within min/max ATR limits for safety
→ Result: Stops that respect market geometry while managing risk

Fluxion Oscillator [Kodexius]Fluxion Oscillator is a multi dimensional momentum and flow toolkit designed to highlight exhaustion, reversals and confluence in a very compact way. The script combines a normalized trend oscillator, volume sensitive money movement, a volatility gauge and a visual confluence gauge that all sit in a single pane.
Instead of focusing on a single signal, Fluxion looks at the interaction between price, momentum and volume. The core oscillator tracks the relationship between a fast and a slow response of price, then rescales it into a stable 0 to 100 band. A companion flow line tracks how actively price is being supported or pressured by volume. On top of that, a volatility based gauge and an overbought or oversold reversal layer help highlight when moves are stretched and vulnerable.
The result is an environment where you can quickly see:
-When momentum is expanding or fading
-When price swings are supported or rejected by volume
-Where local tops or bottoms can be forming through divergence
-How strong the current push is in the context of recent volatility
-A compact gauge that visually ranks the current state from “minimum” to “maximum” pressure
It is not a trading system by itself, but a framework that makes it much easier to build rules and confluence around your own strategy.
⭐ Features
Normalized Fluxion Oscillator
Core oscillator built from the difference between a fast and a slow smoothing of the chosen source.
Automatically normalized into a bounded range so it behaves consistently across symbols and timeframes.
Dual line structure: the main line and a signal line, making crossovers easy to read.
Dynamic fill that shifts color depending on whether the main line is above or below the signal line.
Bullish and Bearish Crosses
Visual circles highlighting when the main oscillator crosses its signal line upward or downward.
Bullish crosses emphasize potential momentum ignition after downside pressure.
Bearish crosses emphasize potential cooling of momentum after upside pressure.
Money Flow Layer
Separate line that blends price and volume over a configurable lookback.
Smoothed to reduce noise and plotted around a central balance level.
Colored region that clearly shows whether buying pressure or selling pressure dominates.
Divergence Detection Suite
Automatic detection of regular bullish and regular bearish divergences between price and the normalized oscillator.
Optional hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences for continuation setups.
Uses pivot based swing points so the lines attach to meaningful highs and lows instead of random wiggles.
All divergence types can be toggled independently so you can keep the chart as clean as you like.
Volatility and Positioning Gauge
A compact gauge that evaluates where the current price sits relative to a volume weighted average and its recent typical fluctuation.
Colors shift as price moves from neutral to stretched zones in either direction.
Background highlighting above and below the oscillator scale to reflect when this gauge is in an extreme region.
Helps quickly see whether you are buying into strength after a large extension or stepping in near value.
Reversal Signals With Volume Confirmation
A higher time sensitivity reversal metric based on a 0 to 100 scale of recent price changes.
Signals are only highlighted when there is also a short burst in volume, so quiet market noise is reduced.
Bearish reversal markers appear in the upper region, bullish markers in the lower region, giving a clear visual “top” and “bottom” feel.
Confluence Gauge
Right side grid composed of horizontal bands, from “Min” at the bottom to “Max” at the top.
Each band reflects a segment of a smoothed, range based momentum reading that tracks how far price has advanced within its recent 0 to 100 window.
The currently active band is highlighted in green for bullish momentum or red for bearish momentum, depending on the relationship between fast and slow lines within that range.
A pointer and labels make it obvious where the current environment sits relative to the full range of possible conditions.
Divergence Core
Users can define the pivot length to control how strict and how far apart swing points should be.
High Customization
Adjustable lookback lengths for the core oscillator, signal smoothing and normalization.
Separate controls for money flow length and smoothing.
Optional toggles for each divergence type so you can focus only on the structures you care about.
⭐ Calculations
This section explains conceptually how Fluxion works without exposing the full underlying formula details. The goal is to help you understand what each component represents and how it behaves, so you can use it more effectively.
Fluxion Oscillator Core
The foundation of the indicator is the difference between two smoothed versions of the selected price source. One reacts more quickly to new price information, the other reacts more slowly.
When the fast curve is above the slow curve, the oscillator becomes positive, signaling that short term action is advancing faster than the background trend. When the fast curve is below the slow curve, it becomes negative, indicating short term weakness.
This raw difference is then normalized over a rolling window. The highest and lowest values in that window are used to rescale the oscillator into a 0 to 100 band. This produces a stable, comparable scale across markets and timeframes.
A secondary smoothing of the oscillator creates the signal line. The interaction between the main line and this signal is used to color the fill region and locate cross events.
Money Flow Construction
The money flow line is based on how price closes within its candle range combined with the traded volume. Up candles with strong closes and high volume contribute positively, while down candles with weak closes and high volume contribute negatively.
These contributions are aggregated over a configurable period to create a net “pressure” measure. The result represents how aggressively participants have been positioning over that window, not just whether price went up or down.
The line is then smoothed to reduce micro noise and plotted around a central balance level, here set at 50. Values above the balance zone suggest net positive pressure, values below suggest net negative pressure.
An additional internal threshold is used to detect when this pressure stays on one side of the balance area long enough to be considered an “overflow,” which helps detect sustained accumulation or distribution phases.
Volatility and Positioning Gauge
The gauge computes a volume weighted average price over a user defined period. This gives more weight to prices at which more volume was traded.
It then evaluates how far the current price is from that volume weighted center, relative to the typical price variation around it. This creates a standardized distance measure that tells you how stretched price is from its recent fair zone.
When the distance becomes significantly positive, the market is considered extended upward. When it becomes significantly negative, it is extended downward. Intermediate thresholds are used to create “warning” and “extreme” zones.
Background fills at the top and bottom of the panel change based on this standardized distance, visually indicating when the market is moving into overextended territory that often precedes mean reversion or at least slowing of the move.
Reversal Metric With Volume Filter
A separate 0 to 100 style momentum score is calculated over a mid length window. It evaluates recent gains and losses in price to produce a relative strength measure of the current move.
Upper and lower thresholds on this score are used to mark areas where price action is historically stretched to the upside or downside.
This alone would generate many signals, so a volume based filter is added. Reversal markers are only displayed when this momentum score is in an extreme area and volume has shown a short term pickup.
This combination gives more weight to reversals that occur during active trading, where trapped positions and forced unwinds are more likely.
Divergence Engine
The divergence logic scans for swing highs and swing lows in the normalized oscillator and in price. Swing points are defined by requiring a certain number of bars on both sides of the pivot, which you can configure via the divergence length input.
For regular bullish divergence:
Price makes a lower low, indicating apparent weakness.
The oscillator makes a higher low over the same general region, indicating that internal momentum is actually improving.
If both conditions are met within a valid bar distance, a bullish divergence line is drawn from the prior oscillator pivot to the new one.
For regular bearish divergence:
Price makes a higher high, suggesting continued strength.
The oscillator makes a lower high, showing that underlying momentum is waning.
The engine checks that both pivot structures appear within an allowed time frame, then draws a bearish line between the oscillator peaks.
Hidden divergences are handled in a similar way, except the direction of price and oscillator swings is reversed, which makes them suitable for trend continuation contexts instead of reversal contexts.
Confluence Gauge
The grid on the right converts a smoothed, range based momentum reading into ten equal bands. This momentum reading looks at where the current value sits between the lowest and highest readings of a recent window, then rescales it into a 0 to 100 scale.
That 0 to 100 value is divided into ten slices of ten points each. For example, 0 to 10 is the lowest band, 90 to 100 is the top band.
The algorithm then checks whether the fast component of this reading is above or below its slower companion. If fast is above slow, it is treated as bullish pressure and the active band is colored in green. If fast is below slow, it is treated as bearish pressure and the active band is colored in red.
A pointer label is placed alongside the active band and “Max” and “Min” markers are drawn above and below the grid. This creates a compact visual where you can quickly gauge if the current state is closer to the lower boundary of recent conditions or to the upper boundary, along with its directional bias.
Normalization And Scaling
Several internal components use rolling highest and lowest values to transform raw readings into normalized percentages. This includes the main oscillator and the range based momentum used by the confluence gauge.
The key idea is to express conditions relative to what has recently been possible on that instrument and timeframe instead of using absolute fixed thresholds. This makes Fluxion adaptive and more robust when switching between assets with different volatility profiles.
Double Whammy Stop‑Run IndicatorThis indicator simulates the institutional "Double Whammy" order flow setup—for order flow traders—using standard Price Action and Volume analysis.
Since TradingView does not provide native access to Level 3 data (Stop Orders and Iceberg Orders), this script uses a proprietary algorithm to create a "proxy" for these events using relative volume anomalies, candle body strength, and market structure breaks.
The Concept
The "Double Whammy" is a reversal pattern that relies on the interaction between trapped retail traders and institutional absorption. It occurs in two specific phases:
The Stop Run (The Trap): Price aggressively breaks a significant recent High or Low on high volume. This represents retail stop-losses being triggered or breakout traders getting trapped.
The Absorption (The Whammy): Instead of continuing in the direction of the breakout, price is immediately absorbed by "Iceberg" orders (limit orders) and reverses with high intensity.
How It Works (The Logic)
This script identifies these two phases using the following logic:
1. Identifying the Stop-Run Proxy
The script monitors for a specific set of conditions to identify a potential trap:
Market Structure: The price must make a new High or Low based on the user-defined Lookback period (default 50 bars).
Volume Spike: The bar must have a volume significantly higher than the average (defined by the Volume Multiplier), suggesting a capitulation or stop-cascade.
Candle Strength: The bar must be a strong trend bar (large body relative to wicks) to mimic the look of a breakout.
2. Identifying the Absorption
Once a Stop-Run is detected, the script opens a "Window of Opportunity" (shaded background). For a valid signal to generate, a reversal must occur within Max Bars (default 3):
Reversal: A candle of the opposite color must appear.
Engulfing Logic: The reversal candle must close back inside the range (below the High of a bullish trap, or above the Low of a bearish trap).
Momentum: The reversal candle must also show significant volume and body strength.
Visual Guide
Background Shading (Green/Red): Indicates a Stop-Run has just occurred. This is a warning zone. Do not trade yet.
"DW" Label (Double Whammy): An immediate reversal occurred on the very next bar after the stop run.
"DDW" Label (Delayed Double Whammy): The reversal occurred 2 or 3 bars later, but still within the valid window.
Settings
Lookback Bars: The range used to determine significant Support/Resistance levels (Default: 50).
Max Bars to Absorption: How many bars the market has to reverse before the setup is considered invalid (Default: 3).
Volume Multiplier: How much larger current volume must be compared to the SMA to qualify as a "Stop Run" (Default: 1.5x).
Body/Range Ratio: Filters out Doji candles or weak moves. Higher numbers require stronger candles.

Dynamic FVG & Trap Zones📘 Dynamic FVG & Trap Zones (DFTZ)
A Hybrid Model Combining Imbalance Mapping, Volume Behavior, and Trap Detection
Concept Overview
“Dynamic FVG & Trap Zones” is built to visualize real-time Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and identify liquidity trap events inside those gaps using adaptive volume filters and wick-based logic.
Traditional FVG indicators merely mark imbalance zones between consecutive candles, but this model goes further — it measures how volume reaction and price penetration inside those zones reveal potential f alse moves or trap formations by smart money.
⚙️ How It Works
1. FVG Detection
• A Bullish FVG is detected when low > high , showing a price void left by aggressive buying.
• A Bearish FVG forms when high < low , implying a selling imbalance.
• These zones are automatically drawn as semi-transparent boxes that extend forward for 10 bars and decay once they exceed the configurable lookback window.
2. Volume Normalization & Grading
• Every bar’s volume is compared against a dynamic SMA( volLookback ) average to calculate a Volume Grade = current vol / avg vol.
• Only bars exceeding the Min Volume Grade threshold are eligible to generate valid FVG zones, ensuring that low-participation moves are ignored.
• The Trap Volume Threshold sets how quiet the reaction bar must be (relative to average volume) to qualify as a trap event.
3. Trap Detection Logic
• Each active FVG zone monitors incoming candles.
• A potential trap is triggered when price re-enters the zone (body or wick depending on settings) but fails to expand with confirming volume.
• If the event occurs inside a Bullish FVG, it marks a Bear Trap (green zone turned red).
If it happens inside a Bearish FVG, it flags a Bull Trap (red zone turned green).
• This reversal in zone color visually conveys trapped liquidity and potential directional fade.
4. Exclusivity and Cooldown Control
• To avoid signal clustering, you can choose exclusivity modes:
Allow Both, Bear over Bull, or Bull over Bear.
• A built-in per-signal cooldown timer prevents back-to-back plots of the same type, enhancing signal clarity during rapid price action.
5. Adaptive Visualization
• Wick-based vs body-based trap detection (toggleable).
• Optional cooldown filtering on shapes ensures the chart only displays validated events.
• Old FVG boxes are pruned automatically beyond the chosen lookback horizon.
🧠 Why It’s Different
Unlike static FVG detectors or simple liquidity sweep tools, DFTZ blends:
• Volume context (Smart Volume Grade filtering)
• Behavioral trap detection within imbalance zones
• Dynamic cooldown mechanics that control over-signaling
• Forward-propagating zones that self-expire gracefully
This synergy makes it a compact yet powerful tool for visualizing imbalances + liquidity traps in one framework — ideal for discretionary traders combining SMC concepts with volume analytics.
📈 How to Use
• Primary Context: Use on 15 min to 1 h charts to spot active FVG zones forming after impulsive moves.
• Trap Signal Interpretation:
• 🔴 “Trap” below bar → Bullish reversal (Bear Trap).
• 🟢 “Trap” above bar → Bearish reversal (Bull Trap).
• Combine With: Market structure breaks, VWAP, or delta volume tools to confirm true reversal intent.
• Alerts: All major events (FVG creation & trap confirmation) trigger ready-to-use alerts for automation or back-testing.

ICT Turtle SoupICT Turtle Soup identifies classic “failed breakout” reversals after liquidity sweeps of recent highs/lows, then augments the setup with volume validation, market structure context, Kill Zone (session) filters, Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), OTE (61.8–78.6%) zones, and optional risk targets (SL/TP 1:1, 1:2, 1:3). A compact dashboard summarizes current context (recent high/low, lookbacks, active session, structure state, mitigation counts).
What the Script Does
⦁ Detects Turtle Soup events: Price breaks a prior swing extreme and then quickly reverses back inside the range.
⦁ Grades signal quality: Factors include reversal speed, volume confirmation, breakout magnitude, and consecutive patterns.
⦁ Overlays market context: Trend/range classification (ADX / MA / ATR Bands / Combined), Kill Zones (Asian/London/NY), and time-of-day filters.
⦁ Marks IMB / mitigation zones: Draws Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, with optional live mitigation tracking and fading/removal on mitigation.
⦁ Shows OTE zones (61.8–78.6%) after confirmed reversals to highlight potential pullback entries.
⦁ Plots risk management guides: Optional SL buffer below/above reversal wick and TP bands at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 R multiples.
⦁ Emits alerts on bullish/bearish Turtle Soup confirmations.
How It Works (Conceptual)
1. Liquidity Sweep & Breakout Check
⦁ Looks back over user-defined windows (single or multiple lookbacks: short/medium/long) to find the most recent swing high/low.
⦁ Flags a breakout when price pierces that swing (above for bearish, below for bullish).
⦁ Optional breakout bar volume check requires volume > avg(volume, N) × multiplier.
⦁ Optional swing age check requires the broken swing to be at least X bars old.
2. Reversal Confirmation
⦁ Within N bars after the sweep, validates a mean-reversion close back inside the prior range with a minimum wick/body ratio to confirm rejection.
⦁ Quality Score adds points for:
⦁ Speed: reversal within fast_reversal_bars;
⦁ Volume: breakout and/or reversal volume spike;
⦁ Series: previous consecutive signals;
⦁ Magnitude: sufficient sweep distance.
⦁ Optional high-quality filter only shows signals meeting a minimum score.
3. Context Filters (Optional)
⦁ Sessions/Kill Zones: Only allow signals in selected sessions (Asian/London/NY) with fully custom HHMM inputs.
⦁ Time Window: Restrict to specific hours (e.g., 08–12).
⦁ Market Structure: Classify Trending vs. Ranging (via ADX, MA separation/slope, ATR bands, or Combined). You can allow signals in trends, ranges, or both.
4. Smart Confluence Layers
⦁ Order Blocks: Finds likely OBs with structural validation (e.g., bearish up-candle prior to down move), imbalance score (body/range × volume factor), and extend-until-touched with mitigation % tracking.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Detects valid 3-bar gaps (bull/bear) with size threshold, supports touch / 50% / full mitigation logic, and can fade or remove after mitigation.
⦁ OTE Zones: After a reversal, projects the 61.8–78.6% retracement box from the actual swing range; offset scales to timeframe to avoid clutter.
5. Risk & Display
⦁ SL/TP guides: Optional wick-buffered SL and 1:1/1:2/1:3 TPs.
⦁ Dashboard: Recent high/low, active lookbacks, current session, structure label, and live counts of mitigated OBs/FVGs.
Signals & Visuals
⦁ Bullish Turtle Soup: Triangle up + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Bearish Turtle Soup: Triangle down + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Labels can show: quality stars, FAST/SLOW reversal, reversal & breakout volume tags, previous consecutive count, and last move %.
⦁ Lines/Boxes: OBs, FVGs, OTE zones, SL/TP bands, and optional breakout magnitude line.
Inputs (Key Groups)
⦁ Turtle Soup: Lookbacks (single or S/M/L), reversal bars, wick ratio, magnitude line, reversal speed, volume confirmation (multiplier/length), consecutive tracking.
⦁ Order Blocks: Show/validate structure, lookback, extend-until-touched, mitigation % threshold, colors.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Show, min size %, colors, mitigation mode (Touch/50%/Full), optional remove-on-mitigation.
⦁ Kill Zones/Sessions: Enable Asian/London/NY with custom HHMM, colors.
⦁ OTE: Show OTE (61.8–78.6%), color, timeframe-adaptive offsets.
⦁ Signal Filters: Filter by session, time window, market structure method (ADX/MA/ATR/Combined), thresholds (ADX, MA periods, ATR multiplier), trending/ranging allowances, structure label & offset.
⦁ SL/TP: SL buffer %, TP 1:1/1:2/1:3 toggles & colors.
⦁ Breakout Validation: Require breakout-bar volume, min swing age, volume label toggles.
⦁ Alerts: Enable/disable.
⦁ Dashboard: Position, text size, colors, border.
How to Use
1. Markets & Timeframes: Works on FX, crypto, indices, and futures. Start with M5–H1 for intraday and H1–H4 for swing; refine lookbacks per instrument volatility.
2. Core Flow:
⦁ Enable multiple lookbacks for robustness on mixed volatility.
⦁ Turn on validate_swing_significance to avoid micro sweeps.
⦁ Use validate_breakout_volume + use_volume_confirmation to filter weak pokes.
3. Context Choice:
⦁ In ranging environments, allow both sides; in trends, consider counter-trend only at HTF OB/FVG/OTE confluence.
⦁ Narrow to London/NY for higher activity if desired.
4. Entries/Stops/Targets:
⦁ Entry on confirmed label close or at OTE pullback post-signal.
⦁ SL: below/above reversal wick + sl_buffer%.
⦁ TP: scale at 1:1/1:2/1:3 or manage via OB/FVG/structure breaks.
5. Confluence: Prefer Turtle Soup that aligns with OB/FVG zones and Combined structure method for added reliability.
Alerts
⦁ “Bullish Turtle Soup detected” and “Bearish Turtle Soup detected” fire on confirmation.
⦁ Set to Once Per Bar (as coded) or adjust in the alert dialog per your workflow.
Notes & Tips
⦁ Multiple lookbacks (S/M/L) help capture both shallow and deep liquidity sweeps.
⦁ Use market structure label with offset to keep it readable on the right of price.
⦁ Mitigation tracking visually communicates when OB/FVG confluence is no longer valid.
⦁ Dashboard = fast situational awareness; keep it on during live trading.
