QuantMotions - FVG with Volume TrackingFair Value Gap Detector with Dynamic Shrinking & Volume Analysis
Overview
Advanced Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection indicator with real-time box shrinking and volume delta analysis. Automatically identifies price inefficiencies and tracks institutional volume flow within each gap.
What are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so rapidly that a "gap" is left between three consecutive candles, creating an inefficiency where no trading occurred. These gaps often act as support/resistance zones that price tends to revisit.
Detection:
- Bullish FVG: When low > high (upward price inefficiency)
- Bearish FVG: When high < low (downward price inefficiency)
Key Features
Dynamic Box Shrinking
FVG boxes automatically shrink as price enters them:
- Bullish FVGs shrink from top as price moves down into the gap
- Bearish FVGs shrink from bottom as price moves up into the gap
- Provides precise visualization of remaining unfilled gap area
Volume Delta Analysis
Tracks volume characteristics for the 3-candle FVG formation:
- Total Volume: Sum of volume from all three FVG candles
- Up/Down Split: Separates buying vs selling pressure
- Delta %: Shows directional bias of volume flow
- Color Coding: Green/Red when volume confirms direction, Orange when it doesn't
Smart Filtering
- ATR-based minimum gap size - Filters out insignificant noise gaps
- Auto-cleanup - Removes fully filled FVGs automatically
- Maximum display limit - Keeps charts clean by limiting visible FVGs
Live Statistics
Real-time stats table showing:
- Active bullish/bearish FVG count
- Average volume delta for each direction
- Fill progress tracking
Settings
Min Gap Size (ATR): Minimum gap size as multiple of ATR(14). Default: 0.3
- Lower values (0.1-0.3): More sensitive, shows smaller gaps
- Higher values (0.5-1.0): More selective, only significant gaps
Max FVGs: Maximum number of FVG boxes to display (5-100)
Remove Fully Filled: Automatically remove FVGs when price completely fills them
Shrink on Partial Fill: Enable dynamic box shrinking as price enters gaps
Show Volume Info: Display volume delta labels at box edges
How to Use
1. Confluence Trading: Look for FVGs that align with your support/resistance levels
2. Volume Confirmation: Check volume delta - strong directional volume increases probability
3. Partial Fills: Watch for price reactions at shrinking FVG boundaries
4. Multiple Timeframes: Use on higher timeframes (4H+) for swing trading, lower timeframes for scalping
Best Practices
- Combine with trend analysis - FVGs in trend direction have higher fill rates
- Pay attention to volume delta - gaps with confirming volume are more reliable
- Use on liquid markets for accurate volume data
- Higher timeframe FVGs typically carry more significance
Notes
- Works on all timeframes and instruments
- Volume data accuracy depends on your data provider
- FVGs are not guaranteed support/resistance - use proper risk management
- This indicator shows historical inefficiencies, not future predictions
Disclaimer: This indicator is for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.

🔥 ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM
Overview
This comprehensive order flow analysis tool combines Volume Profile, Cumulative Delta, and Large Order Detection to identify high-probability trading setups. The script analyzes institutional order flow patterns and volume distribution to pinpoint key levels where price is likely to react.
________________________________________
📊 Core Components & Methodology
1. Volume Profile Analysis
The script constructs a horizontal volume profile by:
• Dividing the price range into configurable rows (default: 20)
• Accumulating volume at each price level over a lookback period (default: 50 bars)
• Separating buy volume (green bars close > open) from sell volume (red bars)
• Identifying three critical levels:
o POC (Point of Control): Price level with highest traded volume - acts as a strong magnet
o VAH/VAL (Value Area High/Low): Contains 70% of total volume - defines fair value zone
o HVN (High Volume Nodes): Resistance zones where institutions accumulated positions
o LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Thin zones that price moves through quickly - ideal targets
Why This Matters: Institutional traders leave footprints through volume. HVN zones show where large players defended levels, making them reliable support/resistance.
________________________________________
2. Cumulative Delta (Order Flow)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure:
• Bar Delta: Difference between buy and sell volume per candle
• Cumulative Delta: Sum of all bar deltas - shows net directional pressure
• Delta Moving Average: Smoothed delta (20-period) to identify trend
• Delta Divergences:
o Bullish: Price makes lower low, but delta makes higher low (absorption at bottom)
o Bearish: Price makes higher high, but delta makes lower high (exhaustion at top)
How It Works: When cumulative delta trends up while price consolidates, it signals accumulation. Delta divergences reveal when smart money is positioned opposite to retail expectations.
________________________________________
3. Large Order Detection
Identifies institutional-sized orders in real-time:
• Compares current bar volume to 20-period moving average
• Flags orders exceeding 2.5x average volume (configurable multiplier)
• Distinguishes bullish (green circles below) vs bearish (red circles above) large orders
Rationale: Sudden volume spikes at key levels indicate institutional participation - the "fuel" needed for breakouts or reversals.

LETHINH RSITitle:
RSI + EMA9 + WMA45 Strength Flow Indicator
Description:
This indicator enhances the traditional RSI by combining it with two dynamic moving averages (EMA9 and WMA45) applied directly to the RSI line. The goal is to help traders visually identify momentum strength, trend confirmation, and potential reversal points with greater accuracy.
How It Works:
• RSI (14): Measures market momentum and identifies overbought/oversold conditions.
• EMA9 on RSI: A fast-response signal line that tracks short-term shifts in buyer/seller strength.
• WMA45 on RSI: A slower, smoother indication of long-term momentum flow and trend bias.
Key Signals:
1. EMA9 crosses above WMA45: Momentum turning bullish → potential buy signal.
2. EMA9 crosses below WMA45: Momentum turning bearish → potential sell signal.
3. RSI above 50 + EMA9 above WMA45: Strong bullish environment.
4. RSI below 50 + EMA9 below WMA45: Strong bearish environment.
5. RSI approaching 70/30: Warning zones for exhaustion or potential reversals.
Use Cases:
• Spot momentum reversals earlier than RSI alone.
• Confirm entries when price structure and momentum agree.
• Filter out false breakouts during low-volatility or choppy conditions.
• Strength-based scalping, swing trading, or trend following.
Best Timeframes:
Works on all timeframes, especially effective on M1–M15 for scalping and H1–H4 for swing trading.

Support & Resistance Zone Hunter [BOSWaves]Support & Resistance Zone Hunter - Dynamic Structural Zones with Real-Time Breakout Intelligence
Overview
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter is a professional-grade structural mapping framework designed to automatically detect high-probability support and resistance areas in real time. Unlike traditional static levels or manually drawn zones, this system leverages pivot detection, range thresholds, and optional volume validation to create dynamic zones that reflect the true structural architecture of the market.
Zones evolve as price interacts with their boundaries. The first touch of a zone determines its bias - bullish, bearish, or neutral - and the system tracks the full lifecycle of each zone from formation, testing, and bias establishment to potential breakout events. Diamond-shaped breakout signals highlight structurally significant price expansions while filtering noise using a configurable cooldown period.
By visualizing market structure in this way, traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior, trend momentum, and areas where liquidity and reactive forces are concentrated.
Theoretical Foundation
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter is built on the premise that meaningful structural zones arise from two core principles:
Pivot-Based Turning Points : Only significant highs and lows that represent actual swings in price are considered.
Contextual Validation : Zones must pass minimum range criteria and optional volume thresholds to ensure their relevance.
Markets naturally generate numerous micro-pivots that do not carry predictive significance. By filtering out minor swings and validating zones against volume and range, the system isolates levels that are more likely to attract future price interaction or act as catalysts for breakout moves.
This framework captures not only where price is likely to react but also the direction of potential pressure, providing a statistically grounded, visually intuitive representation of market structure.
How It Works
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter constructs zones through a multi-layered process that blends pivot logic, range validation, and real-time bias determination:
1. Pivot Detection Core
The indicator identifies pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable lookback period. Zones are only considered valid when both a top and bottom pivot are present.
2. Zone Qualification Engine
Prospective zones must satisfy two conditions:
Range Threshold : The distance between pivot high and low must exceed the minimum percentage set by the user.
Volume Requirement : If enabled, the current volume must exceed the 50-period moving average.
Only zones meeting these criteria are drawn, reducing noise and emphasizing high-probability structural levels.
3. Zone Lifecycle
Once a valid top and bottom pivot exist:
The zone is created starting from the pivot formation bar.
Zones remain active until both boundaries have been touched by price.
The first boundary touched establishes bias: resistance first → bullish bias ,support first → bearish bias, neither → neutral.
Inactive zones stop expanding but remain visible historically to maintain a clear structural context.
4. Visual Rendering
Active zones are displayed as filled boxes with color corresponding to their bias. Top, bottom, and midpoint lines are drawn for reference. Once a zone becomes inactive, its lines are removed while the filled box remains as a historical footprint.
5. Breakout Detection
Breakout signals occur when price closes above the top boundary or below the bottom boundary of an active zone. The system applies a cooldown period and requires price to return to the zone since the previous breakout to prevent signal spam. Bullish and bearish breakouts are visually represented by diamond-shaped markers with configurable colors.
Interpretation
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter provides a structural view of market balance:
Bullish Zones : Form when resistance is tested first, indicating upward pressure and potential continuation.
Bearish Zones : Form when support is tested first, reflecting downward pressure and continuation risk.
Neutral Zones : Fresh zones that have not yet been interacted with, representing undiscovered liquidity.
Breakout Diamonds : Highlight significant structural price expansions, helping traders identify confirmed continuation moves while filtering noise.
Zones do not simply indicate past levels; they dynamically reflect the evolving battle between buyers and sellers, providing actionable context for both trend continuation and reversion strategies.
Strategy Integration
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter is versatile and can be applied across multiple trading approaches:
Trend Continuation : Use bullish and bearish zones to confirm directional bias. Breakout diamonds indicate structural continuation opportunities.
Reversion Entries : Neutral zones often act as magnets in ranging markets, allowing for high-probability mean-reversion setups.
Breakout Trading : Diamonds mark true structural expansions, reducing false breakout risk and guiding stop placement or momentum entries.
Liquidity Zone Alignment : Combining the indicator with order block, breaker, or volume-based tools helps validate zones against broader market participation.
Technical Implementation Details
Pivot Engine : Two-sided pivot detection based on configurable lookback.
Zone Qualification : Minimum range requirement and optional volume filter.
Bias Logic : Determined by the first boundary touched.
Zone Lifecycle : Active until both boundaries are touched, historical visibility retained.
Breakout Signals : Diamond markers with cooldown filtering and price-return validation.
Visuals : Transparent filled zones with live top, bottom, and midpoint lines.
Suggested Optimal Parameters
Pivot Lookback : 10 - 30 for intraday, 20 - 50 for swing trading.
Minimum Range % : 0.5 - 2% for crypto or indices, 1 - 3% for metals or forex.
Volume Filter : Enable for assets with inconsistent liquidity; disable for consistently liquid markets.
Breakout Cooldown : 5 - 20 bars depending on volatility.
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset and timeframe, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Markets with clear pivot structure and reliable volume.
Trending symbols with consistent retests.
Assets where zones attract repeated price interaction.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Random walk markets lacking structural pivots.
Low-volatility periods with minimal price reaction.
Assets with irregular volume distribution or erratic price action.
Integration Guidelines
Use zone color as contextual bias rather than a standalone signal.
Combine with structural tools, order blocks, or volume-based indicators for confluence.
Validate zones on higher timeframes to refine lower timeframe entries.
Treat breakout diamonds as confirmation of continuation rather than independent triggers.
Disclaimer
The Support & Resistance Zone Hunter provides structural zone mapping and breakout analytics. It does not predict price movement or guarantee profitability. Success requires disciplined risk management, proper parameter calibration, and integration into a comprehensive trading strategy.
NeuraEdge Block Trades v1.0NEURAEDGE BLOCK TRADES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
We are excited to release Block Trades!
WHY THIS INDICATOR EXISTS?
Retail traders face a fundamental challenge: institutions move markets, but their activity is hidden. When smart money accumulates at support or distributes at resistance, retail traders often find themselves on the wrong side of the move.
Understanding where institutions are actively buying or selling is crucial for:
• Validating trade setups with volume confirmation
• Identifying supply and demand zones that actually hold
• Avoiding false breakouts driven by retail sentiment
• Spotting accumulation before major moves up
• Detecting distribution before major moves down
Most volume indicators simply show size without context. Block Trades was created to bridge this gap by detecting abnormally large volume bars and determining their directional bias, giving retail traders insight into institutional activity.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT IT DOES:
Block Trades identifies volume spikes that likely represent institutional order flow and classifies them as buying pressure, selling pressure, or contested zones. The indicator then validates these prints against directional flow analysis and groups nearby prints into accumulation or distribution clusters.
This helps you answer critical questions:
• Is this support level being defended by institutions?
• Are smart money players distributing into this rally?
• Is heavy volume confirming my trade or warning against it?
• Where are institutional interest zones forming?
KEY FEATURES:
• Multi-tier volume detection (Large: 2x, Huge: 3x, Massive: 5x average)
• Directional classification with flow validation
• Accumulation/distribution zone detection
• Print clustering for institutional interest areas
• Confluence scoring system (0-10 points)
• Real-time statistics dashboard
• Clean, minimal chart labels
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS:
VOLUME SPIKE DETECTION
The indicator monitors volume against a moving average baseline. When current volume significantly exceeds this average (default thresholds: 2x, 3x, 5x), it flags the bar as a potential institutional print.
DIRECTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Buy Print: Large volume + closes in top 70% of range
Sell Print: Large volume + closes in bottom 70% of range
Neutral Print: Large volume + mid-range close (absorption/contested)
The close position within the bar's range reveals who won the battle. A bar with massive volume that closes near its high indicates aggressive buying. The same volume closing near the low indicates aggressive selling.
FLOW VALIDATION
Each print is validated against underlying institutional flow calculations. This filters out volume spikes that don't align with directional pressure, significantly reducing false signals. Buy prints require bullish flow, sell prints require bearish flow.
ACCUMULATION & DISTRIBUTION ZONES
When multiple prints occur at similar price levels with consistent direction:
• Repeated buy prints + bullish trend = Accumulation (institutions building positions)
• Repeated sell prints + bearish trend = Distribution (institutions unloading positions)
These zones often become powerful support/resistance levels because institutions have established significant positions there.
PRINT CLUSTERING
The indicator groups nearby prints (within configurable ATR distance) into clusters. When 3 or more prints form a cluster, it marks an institutional interest zone. These clusters frequently act as price magnets and reversal points.
PRINT CLUSTERING
The indicator groups nearby prints (within configurable ATR distance) into clusters. When 3 or more prints form a cluster, it marks an institutional interest zone. These clusters frequently act as price magnets and reversal points.
CONFLUENCE SCORING
Each print receives a confluence score (0-10 points) based on:
• Volume size (Massive: +3, Huge: +2, Large: +1)
• Flow alignment (+2 points, configurable)
• Trend alignment (+1)
• New high/low made (+1)
• Extreme close position (+1)
Prints with 5+ points receive a star marker, indicating ultra-high conviction setups.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
USE CASE 1: TRADE VALIDATION
Your system signals a long entry at support. Check Block Trades:
• Buy prints present at this level? Institutions defending = Take the trade
• Sell prints present? Institutions distributing = Skip or wait
• No prints? Proceed with normal risk management
USE CASE 2: IDENTIFYING EXHAUSTION
Price rallies to resistance with heavy volume:
• Sell prints appear = Distribution, institutions unloading into strength
• Likely reversal coming, consider shorts or exit longs
• Confirmed by multiple sell prints = High conviction reversal setup
USE CASE 3: FINDING SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Accumulation cluster forms at 450 level:
• Multiple buy prints over several sessions
• Institutions building positions at this price
• 450 becomes high-probability support for future pullbacks
• Use for entries or stop placement
USE CASE 4: BREAKOUT CONFIRMATION
Price breaks above key resistance:
• Buy print on breakout bar = Real institutional participation
• High confluence score (5+) = Ultra-high conviction
• Fake breakout would show sell prints or no prints
USE CASE 5: AVOIDING TRAPS
Price spikes up on huge volume:
• Sell print appears (closes low in range) = Trap
• Institutions selling into retail FOMO
• Avoid chasing, prepare for reversal
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VISUAL ELEMENTS:
ON-CHART LABELS
Buy Print: Green label below bar showing size (LARGE/HUGE/MASSIVE)
Sell Print: Red label above bar showing size
Contested Print: Orange label at bar high (large volume, mid-range close)
Accumulation: Green "ACCUM" label with diamond symbol
Distribution: Red "DISTRIB" label with diamond symbol
WHAT CONTESTED MEANS:
When a bar has massive volume but closes in the middle of its range (neither top nor bottom 70%), it indicates a battle between buyers and sellers with no clear winner. This often occurs at:
• Major support/resistance levels where institutions are absorbing supply/demand
• Transition zones before a directional move
• Areas of genuine price discovery and uncertainty
Contested prints can signal absorption (institutions quietly building positions) or genuine indecision. Watch for follow-through on the next bar to determine which side won.

Kalman Trend Sniper# KALMAN TREND SNIPER
## ORIGINALITY STATEMENT
The Kalman Trend Sniper combines adaptive trend detection with precision entry validation to identify high-probability trading opportunities. Unlike static moving averages that use fixed parameters, this indicator adapts to changing market volatility through ATR-based gain adjustment and distinguishes trending from ranging markets using ADX regime detection.
The indicator's unique contribution is its three-phase entry validation system: signals must hold for three bars, undergo a pullback test to the signal level, and receive confirmation through price action before generating an entry. This structured approach helps traders enter established trends at favorable retracement levels rather than chasing momentum.
---
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY
### Kalman Filter Implementation
This indicator implements an Alpha-Beta variant of the Kalman filter, a recursive algorithm that estimates trend from noisy price data:
1. Prediction: kf = kf + velocity
2. Error calculation: error = price - kf
3. Correction: kf = kf + gain * error
4. Velocity update: velocity = velocity + (gain * error) / 2
The gain parameter determines filter responsiveness. Higher gain values track price more closely but increase noise sensitivity, while lower values provide smoother output but lag price changes.
### Adaptive Gain Mechanism
The indicator adjusts gain dynamically based on volatility:
Volatility Factor = Current ATR / Long-term ATR
Adaptive Gain = Base Gain * (0.7 + 0.6 * Volatility Factor)
This ATR ratio increases responsiveness during high-volatility periods and reduces sensitivity during consolidations, addressing the fixed-parameter limitation of traditional moving averages. The volatility factor is bounded between configurable minimum and maximum values to prevent extreme adjustments.
### Regime Detection
The indicator uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to distinguish market conditions:
- Trending markets (ADX above threshold): Full gain applied, signals generated
- Ranging markets (ADX below threshold): Gain reduced 25%, fewer signals
This regime awareness helps reduce whipsaw signals during sideways consolidation periods.
### Signal Line Validation System
When the Kalman line changes direction in trending conditions, the indicator draws a horizontal signal line at the low (for long signals) or high (for short signals) of the signal candle. This line represents a potential support or resistance level.
The validation system then monitors three phases:
Phase 1 - Hold Period: Price must remain above (long) or below (short) the signal line for three consecutive bars. This requirement filters weak signals where price immediately violates the signal level.
Phase 2 - Test: After the hold period, the system waits for price to pull back and touch the signal line, with configurable tolerance for volatile instruments.
Phase 3 - Confirmation: Within eight bars of the test, a confirmation candle must close above (long) or below (short) the test candle's body, demonstrating renewed momentum. If confirmation does not occur within eight bars, the validation attempt expires.
Successful validation generates an R label at the entry point. This three-phase structure helps identify entries where trend direction and support/resistance validation align.
---
## USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
### Signal Interpretation
Triangle Signals:
- Upward triangle (teal): Kalman line turns bullish in trending market (ADX above threshold)
- Downward triangle (red): Kalman line turns bearish in trending market
Signal Lines (horizontal):
- Teal line: Potential long support level at signal candle low
- Red line: Potential short resistance level at signal candle high
- Gray line: First opposite-color candle after signal (initial reversal pressure)
R Labels (optional, disabled by default):
- Green R below price: Validation complete for long entry
- Red R above price: Validation complete for short entry
Stop Levels:
- Red dots: Long stop level (Kalman line minus ATR multiplier)
- Teal dots: Short stop level (Kalman line plus ATR multiplier)
### Dashboard Information
The dashboard displays real-time indicator state:
- Trend: Current Kalman direction (BULL/BEAR)
- Regime: Market classification (Trending when ADX exceeds threshold, Ranging otherwise)
- Gain: Current adaptive gain value
- Vol Factor: Volatility ratio (current ATR / long-term ATR)
- ADX: Trend strength (higher values indicate stronger trends)
- Z-Score: Standard deviation distance from Kalman line (when enabled)
- Stop Dist: Current ATR-based stop distance
- Lines: Number of active signal lines displayed
- R-Status: Validation system state (Idle / Waiting / Testing)
### Trading Applications
Trend Following Approach:
1. Wait for triangle signal in trending market (ADX above threshold)
2. Enter immediately at signal candle close or wait for pullback
3. Place stop at displayed stop level
4. Trail stop using Kalman line as dynamic support/resistance
Validation Entry Approach (conservative):
1. After triangle signal, observe three-bar hold period
2. Wait for pullback to signal line (test phase)
3. Enter on R label confirmation
4. Place stop below/above signal line
5. Provides higher probability entries but reduces trade frequency
Z-Score Mean Reversion (when enabled):
1. Watch for Z-Score exceeding entry threshold (default +/-2.0)
2. Consider counter-trend entries when price touches Kalman line
3. Target return to Kalman line (Z-Score near zero)
4. Use Z-Score threshold as stop level for extreme continuation
### Optimal Conditions
The indicator performs optimally in clearly trending markets where ADX consistently exceeds the threshold. Performance degrades in sideways, choppy conditions.
Recommended timeframes:
- 1-5 minute charts: Use Crypto_1M preset (faster adaptation)
- 15-60 minute charts: Use Crypto_15M preset (balanced)
- Hourly charts: Use Forex preset (smoother)
- Daily charts: Use Stocks_Daily preset (long-term trends)
Market conditions:
- High volatility (Vol Factor above 1.5): Expect faster adaptation, wider stops needed
- Normal volatility (Vol Factor 0.7-1.5): Standard behavior
- Low volatility (Vol Factor below 0.7): Expect slower adaptation, tighter stops possible
---
## PARAMETER DOCUMENTATION
### Kalman Filter Settings
Preset Mode: Select optimized configuration for specific markets
- Custom: Manual parameter control
- Crypto_1M: Base Gain 0.05, ATR 7 (fast response for 1-5 minute crypto charts)
- Crypto_15M: Base Gain 0.03, ATR 14 (balanced for 15-60 minute crypto charts)
- Forex: Base Gain 0.02, ATR 14 (standard for forex pairs)
- Stocks_Daily: Base Gain 0.01, ATR 20 (smooth for daily stock charts)
Base Gain (0.001-0.2): Core Kalman filter responsiveness parameter. Higher values increase sensitivity to price changes. Low values (0.01-0.02) provide smooth output with fewer whipsaws but slower trend changes. High values (0.06-0.08) offer fast response with more signals but increased whipsaw risk.
Adaptive (checkbox): When enabled, automatically adjusts gain based on ATR ratio. Recommended to keep enabled for dynamic volatility adaptation.
ATR (5-50): Short-term Average True Range period for current volatility measurement. Default 14 is industry standard. Lower values respond faster to volatility changes.
Long ATR (20-200): Long-term ATR period for baseline volatility comparison. Default 50 provides stable reference. The ratio between ATR and Long ATR determines adaptive adjustment magnitude.
Regime Filter (checkbox): Enables ADX-based trending/ranging detection. When enabled, reduces gain by 25 percent during ranging markets to minimize false signals.
ADX Period (7-30): Period for ADX calculation. Default 14 is standard. Lower values respond faster to trend strength changes.
Threshold (15-40): ADX level distinguishing trending from ranging markets. Default 25. Above threshold: trending (generate signals normally). Below threshold: ranging (reduce sensitivity).
Min Vol / Max Vol (0.3-3.0): Bounds for volatility factor adjustment. Prevents extreme gain changes during unusual volatility spikes or quiet periods. Default minimum 0.5, maximum 2.0.
Stop ATR x (1.0-3.0): Multiplier for ATR-based stop loss distance. Default 2.0 places stops two ATRs from Kalman line. Use 1.5 for tight stops (intraday), 2.5-3.0 for wide stops (swing trading).
Show Signals (checkbox): Displays triangle signals when Kalman changes direction in trending markets. Disable to use indicator purely as dynamic support/resistance without signals.
Z-Score (checkbox): Enables mean-reversion signal generation based on statistical deviation from Kalman line.
Period (10-100): Lookback period for Z-Score standard deviation calculation. Default 20 bars. Longer periods produce smoother, less sensitive readings.
Entry (1.5-3.5): Standard deviation threshold for Z-Score signals. Default 2.0 generates signals at plus/minus two standard deviations (approximately 95th percentile moves).
Bull / Bear Colors: Customize Kalman line colors for uptrend (default teal) and downtrend (default red).
Fill (checkbox): Shows semi-transparent fill between price and Kalman line for visual trend emphasis.
### Signal Line System Settings
Signal Lines (checkbox): Displays horizontal signal lines at low (long) or high (short) of signal candles. These function as dynamic support/resistance levels.
Reverse Lines (checkbox): Shows gray horizontal lines at first opposite-colored candle after signal. Helps identify initial resistance points in new trends.
Max Lines (0-20): Maximum number of signal lines to display simultaneously. Older lines are removed as new signals appear. Use 1-2 for clean charts, 3-5 for recent support/resistance history.
Style (Solid/Dotted/Dashed): Visual style for signal and reverse lines. Dotted provides subtle appearance, solid is most prominent.
Line % / Label % (0-100): Transparency percentage for lines and labels. Zero is fully opaque, 100 is invisible.
R Labels (checkbox): Shows R labels when validation confirmation occurs. Default disabled. Enable if you want visual confirmation of successful pullback entries.
Tolerance % (0-1.0): Price deviation tolerance for test candle detection. Zero requires exact touch. 0.5 allows 0.5 percent deviation for volatile instruments.
### Dashboard Settings
Show Dashboard (checkbox): Toggles visibility of information panel. Disable for clean chart presentation.
Position: Choose dashboard location from nine positions (Top/Middle/Bottom combined with Left/Center/Right).

## LIMITATIONS AND WARNINGS
This indicator is a technical analysis tool that processes historical price data. It does not predict future price movements.
Inherent limitations:
1. Lagging nature: Like all trend indicators, the Kalman filter lags price. Signals occur after trend changes begin, not before.
2. Ranging markets: Generates fewer signals and reduced performance when ADX falls below threshold. Not optimized for sideways consolidation.
3. Whipsaw risk: In choppy, indecisive markets near ADX threshold, signals may reverse quickly despite regime filtering.
4. Parameter sensitivity: Inappropriate Base Gain settings can cause over-trading (too high) or missed trends (too low).
5. Validation requirement: The three-phase confirmation system provides higher accuracy but significantly reduces trade frequency. Not all trends produce valid pullback entries.
Not suitable for:
- Scalping strategies requiring instant signals (Kalman filter has intentional smoothing)
- Ultra-high frequency trading (indicator updates once per bar close)
- Markets with extreme overnight gaps (stops may be exceeded)
- Strategies requiring signals on Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point and Figure, or Range charts
Risk management requirements:
This indicator provides trend direction and signal levels but does not incorporate position sizing, risk management, or account balance considerations. Users must implement appropriate position sizing, maximum daily loss limits, and portfolio diversification. Past performance does not indicate future results.
Optimal usage:
- Works optimally in clearly trending markets where ADX consistently exceeds threshold
- Performance degrades in sideways, choppy conditions
- Designed for swing trading and position trading timeframes (15-minute and above)
- Requires confirmation from price action or additional technical analysis
---
## NO REPAINT GUARANTEE
This indicator operates on bar close confirmation only. All signals, signal lines, and validation labels appear exclusively when candles close. Historical signals remain exactly where they appeared. This makes the indicator suitable for automated trading and reliable backtesting. What you see in historical data matches what appeared in real-time.
---
## ALERTS
The indicator provides eight alert conditions:
1. Kalman Buy Signal: Fires when upward triangle appears (bullish trend change in trending market)
2. Kalman Sell Signal: Fires when downward triangle appears (bearish trend change in trending market)
3. Trend Change to Bullish: Fires whenever Kalman line changes to bullish (regardless of ADX)
4. Trend Change to Bearish: Fires whenever Kalman line changes to bearish (regardless of ADX)
5. SCT-R Long Retest Confirmed: Fires when green R label appears for long validation
6. SCT-R Short Retest Confirmed: Fires when red R label appears for short validation
7. SCT Test Long Detected: Fires when test candle appears for long signal (before confirmation)
8. SCT Test Short Detected: Fires when test candle appears for short signal (before confirmation)
Alert messages include context about bar close confirmation and current price levels.

Market Range OracleMarket Range Oracle is an advanced volatility-adaptive projection tool designed to help traders anticipate future price behaviour, identify probabilistic ranges, and understand how markets historically expand or contract from the price open.
📊 By analysing historical bar-to-bar performance, ATR-filtered volatility, and fast-RSI momentum, the indicator creates a complete forward-looking range map for any timeframe.
📈 What Market Range Oracle Does
Calculates Expected Price Movement From the Open for any selected timeframe, the indicator measures thousands of past bars (or your chosen lookback) to determine:
Average % Gain
Average % Loss
Max Adjusted Gain (ATR-filtered projected peaks)
Max Adjusted Loss (ATR-filtered projected troughs)
Rate of green and red candle closes in the selected lookback period
Projected price levels for all of the above
These projections are then plotted directly on the chart or drawn as offset lines with detailed labels, all the colours, text size, show/hide elements are customisable from the indicator dashboard.
🧠 How does work and how to use it
The indicator computes projections across three independent timeframes:
Plots Timeframe — where visual projection bands are drawn
Lines & Labels Timeframe — creates separate-TF projection levels & labels
Forecast Timeframe — allows forward bar forecasting for the next candle
Forecast projections (when enabled) can be used to show the next future candle of any timeframe.
Example 1: Plots Timeframe set to current timeframe and the Forecast Timeframe option to the same timeframe, this will show an adaptive range moving with the price for current timeframe.
Example 2 : Find the potential Future range long term, the current timeframe is an weekly and we set the Forecast Timeframe to 2 weeks, as want to see potential top and bottom range for the next 2 weeks
Example 3 : Scalping with Market Range Oracle - Set the Bands to current timeframe and set the Projections lines and labels to a higher timeframe (in our case 15 minutes and a 4h)
⚡ Momentum Overlay (Fast RSI Hybrid)
A fast-RSI (RSI-2) colour code system measures short-term momentum and the top and bottom of the ranges display momentum.
Also the middle RSI 50 value equivalent EMA shows directional bias visualized with colour-shifting dashed line on the chart to help traders with clear trend direction.
🔔 Built-In Alert System
Alerts trigger on Price-Level Events and on momentum shift:
Price reaches projected Avg Loss
Price reaches projected Max Gain
Price reaches projected Max Loss
Midpoint Cross Events
Price crosses above mid-range
Price crosses below mid-range
Fast RSI bullish momentum
Fast RSI bearish momentum
Fast RSI strong bullish spike
Fast RSI strong bearish spike
🧩 Market Range Oracle is ideal for scalping, day-trading, swing trading, and position traders.
💬 Notes
Market Range Oracle does not predict future price — it projects statistically probable ranges based on historical behaviour and volatility. It is a decision-support tool to help traders navigate expected expansion from the open.
Quant RSIQuant RSI MTF - Professional Multi-Timeframe RSI Analysis
A sophisticated RSI indicator built for serious traders who need more than basic overbought and oversold levels. This tool combines advanced filtering techniques with multi-timeframe analysis to give you a clearer picture of momentum across different time horizons.
What Makes This Different
Most RSI indicators use simple moving averages that lag behind price action. This version uses Laguerre filtering, which is a mathematical technique that reduces lag while maintaining smooth signals. The result is an RSI that responds faster to genuine momentum shifts without getting whipped around by noise.
The system monitors five different timeframes simultaneously, checking whether momentum is aligned or diverging across short-term, medium-term, and long-term perspectives. When all timeframes agree on direction, you have significantly higher probability setups. When they disagree, you know to be cautious.
Core Features
The indicator calculates three separate RSI values using different lookback periods - short, medium, and long term. Each one serves a specific purpose. The short-term catches quick reversals, the medium-term identifies swing trading opportunities, and the long-term keeps you aware of the bigger trend.
Dynamic threshold adjustment is built in based on ATR volatility measurements. During high volatility periods, the overbought and oversold levels automatically expand because extreme readings become more common. During low volatility, the thresholds tighten up. This prevents you from getting false signals just because market conditions changed.
Volume confirmation is integrated into every signal. The system analyzes volume delta to determine whether price movements are supported by actual buying or selling pressure. A divergence between RSI and volume often signals weak momentum that is likely to reverse.
Advanced divergence detection goes beyond basic hidden and regular divergences. The system calculates divergence strength as a percentage, so you know which setups have the most potential. A weak divergence barely worth noting gets scored low, while a major divergence with significant price-RSI separation scores high.
Signal Intelligence
Every potential signal gets assigned a confidence score from 0 to 100. This score factors in trend strength, momentum, volume confirmation, divergence presence, ADX readings, and timeframe alignment. A score above 70 means all the pieces are in place. Below 40 means something important is missing.
The indicator calculates ADX automatically to measure trend strength. Even if RSI shows oversold conditions, a weak ADX reading suggests the market is ranging and mean reversion might not work. Strong ADX with extreme RSI readings often produces the best setups.
Market condition classification tells you whether you are in a strong bull trend, bear trend, pullback, sideways chop, or volatility expansion phase. Each condition requires different trading approaches, and the indicator adapts its signals accordingly.
Volatility Analysis
Real-time volatility state monitoring shows you whether volatility is exploding, expanding, stable, or contracting. Contracting volatility often precedes big moves. Exploding volatility suggests you should reduce position size or stay out entirely.
The system compares current volatility to historical levels using percentile rankings. If current ATR is in the 90th percentile, you know volatility is unusually high even if you have not traded this asset before.
Volume profile approximation analyzes where volume is accumulating at different price levels. While not as detailed as true market profile software, it gives you insight into support and resistance zones based on actual trading activity.
What This Indicator Does Well
The Laguerre filtering genuinely reduces lag compared to standard RSI. You will notice signals forming 1-3 bars earlier than traditional RSI implementations, which can make a significant difference in fast-moving markets.
Multi-timeframe confluence is calculated automatically instead of forcing you to manually switch between charts. When all five timeframes align, the visual confirmation is immediate and the probability of success increases dramatically.
Dynamic threshold adjustment based on volatility is something most RSI indicators lack entirely. This prevents you from taking low-probability trades just because RSI hit 30 or 70 during unusual market conditions.
Volume integration with every signal helps filter out weak setups. RSI might show oversold, but if volume delta is negative and selling pressure continues, the indicator knows not to generate a buy signal.
Divergence strength calculation goes beyond just marking divergences with arrows. Knowing that a divergence has 75% strength versus 20% strength completely changes how you should trade it.
The ADX integration prevents you from trying to trade reversals in ranging markets where mean reversion strategies fail. ADX below 20 with extreme RSI readings typically results in continued chop rather than reversals.
What This Indicator Does Not Do Well
The multi-timeframe data requests can cause slight delays on lower-end computers or slow internet connections. If you are running multiple indicators simultaneously, you might notice brief calculation lags.
Divergence detection requires at least 10-15 bars of history to identify pivot points accurately. On brand new charts or immediately after timeframe changes, divergence signals may be absent for several bars.
The Laguerre filtering, while reducing lag, can occasionally produce false signals during extreme volatility spikes like news releases or market opens. The smoothing cannot completely eliminate noise during truly chaotic conditions.
Dynamic thresholds work well most of the time but can occasionally adapt too slowly during rapid volatility regime changes. If ATR suddenly doubles, it might take 5-10 bars for the thresholds to fully adjust.
The indicator uses significant processing power with five timeframe requests plus all the calculations for volatility, volume analysis, divergences, and signal scoring. On very low timeframes like 1-second or tick charts, this could cause performance issues.
There is no built-in backtesting functionality. You can see historical signals on the chart, but you cannot generate statistical performance reports without exporting data and analyzing it separately.
Best Use Cases
This indicator excels for scalpers and day traders who need fast, reliable RSI signals with proper context. The reduced lag from Laguerre filtering combined with volume confirmation catches reversals quickly enough to matter on 1-5 minute charts.
Swing traders benefit from the multi-timeframe alignment feature. Before entering a multi-day position, you can verify that momentum is aligned across your entry timeframe, swing timeframe, and position timeframe. This significantly improves win rates.
Range traders can use the dynamic thresholds and volatility analysis to identify when markets are coiling up for breakout moves. Contracting volatility with neutral RSI readings often precedes the best trending moves.
The divergence detection with strength calculations makes this valuable for reversal traders. Instead of taking every divergence, you can filter for only high-strength divergences above 60% for better risk-reward setups.
What This Is Not
This is not a standalone trading system. It provides momentum analysis and signal quality scoring, but you still need proper risk management, position sizing, and confluence with price action or other technical factors.
This is not a high-frequency trading tool. While the Laguerre filtering reduces lag, it is not designed for sub-second timeframes or algorithmic trading where microseconds matter.
This is not a volatility prediction system. It measures current and recent volatility states, but it cannot forecast whether volatility will expand or contract in the future beyond basic statistical tendencies.
This is not a replacement for understanding market structure. RSI divergences and extreme readings mean different things at major support and resistance versus in the middle of nowhere. You need context.
Technical Details Worth Knowing
The Laguerre filter uses a gamma parameter that you can adjust. Higher gamma values (0.8-0.9) produce smoother lines with more lag. Lower values (0.5-0.6) respond faster but with more noise. The default of 0.7 balances both reasonably well.
The three RSI lengths serve different purposes. The 5-period catches very short-term momentum for scalping. The 14-period is standard for swing trading. The 21-period keeps you aligned with longer-term trends. You can adjust these based on your trading timeframe.
ATR normalization divides current ATR by a 50-period moving average of ATR. This creates a volatility factor that adjusts thresholds dynamically. When volatility doubles, overbought might move from 70 to 85 automatically.
Volume delta is calculated as volume times the percentage where price closed within the bar's range. An up-close at the high gets full positive delta. A down-close at the low gets full negative delta. This approximates buying and selling pressure without tick data.
Signal strength scoring uses weighted factors. Trend direction gets 30% weight, momentum gets 20%, volume confirmation 15%, divergence presence 15%, ADX strength 10%, and timeframe alignment 10%. This creates a 0-100 composite score.
ADX calculation uses the standard Wilder smoothing method with directional movement indicators. The trend classification shows whether bulls or bears have control, while the strength rating (weak, moderate, strong, extreme) tells you how much conviction is behind the move.
Final Assessment
This is a well-designed RSI indicator that adds genuine value beyond what basic RSI provides. The Laguerre filtering works as advertised for lag reduction. The multi-timeframe analysis saves time and provides clarity. The dynamic thresholds adapt intelligently to changing volatility.
The signal scoring system is particularly useful because it prevents you from chasing low-quality setups. A 35% confidence score tells you immediately that something is wrong with the trade even if RSI looks tempting.
However, this is definitely not a beginner indicator. There are a lot of moving parts and the learning curve is real. You need to understand RSI basics, divergences, volume analysis, and volatility regimes to use this effectively. Someone new to trading would be overwhelmed.
For experienced traders who already understand momentum indicators and want more sophisticated analysis, this is legitimately valuable. The combination of features is not commonly found in free indicators, and the implementation quality is solid.
The main limitation is that it is still just an RSI indicator at its core. No amount of filtering, multi-timeframe analysis, or scoring can overcome the fundamental limitations of oscillator-based trading. You need confluence with price action, support and resistance, and proper market context.
If you trade primarily based on momentum and reversals, this indicator provides most of what you would need in one package. If you are a pure price action trader or trend follower, this probably would not change your approach significantly.
Overall, this is a 7.5 out of 10 indicator. It does what it claims to do well, adds meaningful improvements over basic RSI, and provides useful analysis tools. It is not revolutionary, but it is a solid professional-grade tool for the right type of trader.
TCP DMITCP DMI - Advanced Technical Indicator
This advanced DMI (Directional Movement Index) indicator enhances the traditional DMI by adding intelligent dynamic support and resistance levels based on historical price action analysis.
KEY FEATURES:
1. Standard DMI Components:
- DI+ (Directional Indicator Positive): Measures upward price movement
- DI- (Directional Indicator Negative): Measures downward price movement
- ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength
- Middle line at 20 for reference
2. Dynamic Support & Resistance Levels:
The indicator automatically identifies the most significant support and resistance levels by analyzing the last 400 candles (customizable) and detecting where DI lines have been rejected most frequently.
TWO TIERS OF LEVELS:
A) Normal Levels (Solid Lines):
- Support: Below 15
- Resistance: Above 25
- Style: Solid lines with 60% transparency
- These represent moderate support/resistance zones
B) Strong Levels (Dashed Lines):
- Strong Support: Below 10
- Strong Resistance: Above 30
- Style: Dashed lines with 40% transparency (more visible)
- These represent critical support/resistance zones
3. Intelligent Display Logic:
- When DI is ABOVE 20: Shows resistance levels (where price might face selling pressure)
- When DI is BELOW 20: Shows support levels (where price might find buying support)
- Each DI line (+ and -) has its own color-coded support/resistance levels for easy identification
4. Color Coding:
- DI+ levels use GREEN (customizable)
- DI- levels use RED/ORANGE (customizable)
- Support/Resistance lines match their respective DI colors but with reduced opacity
- This makes it instantly clear which DI the support/resistance belongs to
5. Rejection Detection Algorithm:
The indicator scans historical data to find peaks and troughs at specific levels, counting how many times price was rejected at each level. The level with the most rejections becomes the displayed support or resistance.
CUSTOMIZABLE PARAMETERS:
- ADX Smoothing: Default 14
- DI Length: Default 14
- Lookback Period: 400 candles (range: 50-500)
- Line Length: 15 candles forward + 15 candles back = 30 candle span
- DI+ Color: Customizable (default green)
- DI- Color: Customizable (default red)
- ADX Color: Customizable (default blue)
- Normal S/R Transparency: Default 60%
- Strong S/R Transparency: Default 40%
HOW TO USE:
1. Trend Identification:
- When DI+ crosses above DI-: Potential uptrend
- When DI- crosses above DI+: Potential downtrend
- ADX above 25: Strong trend
- ADX below 20: Weak trend or ranging market
2. Support/Resistance Trading:
- Watch for price reaction when DI approaches displayed support/resistance levels
- Solid lines = moderate levels
- Dashed lines = strong levels (more significant)
- The more rejections at a level, the more significant it becomes
3. Entry/Exit Signals:
- Entry: When DI bounces off support (below 20) or resistance (above 20)
- Exit: When DI breaks through major support/resistance levels
- Strong levels (dashed) are more reliable for major decisions
ADVANTAGES:
✓ Reduces chart clutter by only showing relevant levels based on current DI position
✓ Automatically adapts to changing market conditions
✓ Color-coded for instant visual recognition
✓ Two-tier system helps prioritize trading decisions
✓ Historical rejection analysis provides data-backed levels
✓ Fully customizable to match any trading style
BEST USED FOR:
- Swing trading
- Trend following
- Support/resistance trading strategies
- Identifying potential reversal zones
- Confirming breakout validity
- Risk management (stop-loss placement)
This indicator combines the power of traditional DMI with smart support/resistance detection, giving traders a comprehensive tool for technical analysis without overwhelming the chart with excessive information.
Flux-Tensor Singularity [FTS]Flux-Tensor Singularity - Multi-Factor Market Pressure Indicator
The Flux-Tensor Singularity (FTS) is an advanced multi-factor oscillator that combines volume analysis, momentum tracking, and volatility-weighted normalization to identify critical market inflection points. Unlike traditional single-factor indicators, FTS synthesizes price velocity, volume mass, and volatility context into a unified framework that adapts to changing market regimes.
This indicator identifies extreme market conditions (termed "singularities") where multiple confirming factors converge, then uses a sophisticated scoring system to determine directional bias. It is designed for traders seeking high-probability setups with built-in confluence requirements.
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The indicator is built on the premise that market time is not constant - different market conditions contain varying levels of information density. A 1-minute bar during a major news event contains far more actionable information than a 1-minute bar during overnight low-volume trading. Traditional indicators treat all bars equally; FTS does not.
The theoretical framework draws conceptual parallels to physics (purely as a mental model, not literal physics):
Volume as Mass: Large volume represents significant market participation and "weight" behind price moves. Just as massive objects have stronger gravitational effects, high-volume moves carry more significance.
Price Change as Velocity: The rate of price movement through price space represents momentum and directional force.
Volatility as Time Dilation: When volatility is high relative to its historical norm, the "information density" of each bar increases. The indicator weights these periods more heavily, similar to how time dilates near massive objects in physics.
This is a pedagogical metaphor to create a coherent mental model - the underlying mathematics are standard financial calculations combined in a novel way.
MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
The indicator calculates a composite singularity value through four distinct steps:
Step 1: Raw Singularity Calculation
S_raw = (ΔP × V) × γ²
Where:
ΔP = Price Velocity = close - close
V = Volume Mass = log(volume + 1)
γ² = Time Dilation Factor = (ATR_local / ATR_global)²
Volume Transformation: Volume is log-transformed because raw volume can have extreme outliers (10x-100x normal). The logarithm compresses these spikes while preserving their significance. This is standard practice in volume analysis.
Volatility Weighting: The ratio of short-term ATR (5 periods) to long-term ATR (user-defined lookback) is squared to create a volatility amplification factor. When local volatility exceeds global volatility, this ratio increases, amplifying the raw singularity value. This makes the indicator regime-aware.
Step 2: Normalization
The raw singularity values are normalized to a 0-100 scale using a stochastic-style calculation:
S_normalized = ((S_raw - S_min) / (S_max - S_min)) × 100
Where S_min and S_max are the lowest and highest raw singularity values over the lookback period.
Step 3: Epsilon Compression
S_compressed = 50 + ((S_normalized - 50) / ε)
This is the critical innovation that makes the sensitivity control functional. By applying compression AFTER normalization, the epsilon parameter actually affects the final output:
ε < 1.0: Expands range (more signals)
ε = 1.0: No change (default)
ε > 1.0: Compresses toward 50 (fewer, higher-quality signals)
For example, with ε = 2.0, a normalized value of 90 becomes 70, making threshold breaches rarer and more significant.
Step 4: Smoothing
S_final = EMA(S_compressed, smoothing_period)
An exponential moving average removes high-frequency noise while preserving trend.
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
When the tensor crosses above the upper threshold (default 90) or below the lower threshold (default 10), an extreme event is detected. However, the indicator does NOT immediately generate a buy or sell signal. Instead, it analyzes market context through a multi-factor scoring system:
Scoring Components:
Price Structure (+1 point): Current bar bullish/bearish
Momentum (+1 point): Price higher/lower than N bars ago
Trend Context (+2 points): Fast EMA above/below slow EMA (weighted heavier)
Acceleration (+1 point): Rate of change increasing/decreasing
Volume Multiplier (×1.5): If volume > average, multiply score
The highest score (bullish vs bearish) determines signal direction. This prevents the common indicator failure mode of "overbought can stay overbought" by requiring directional confirmation.
Signal Conditions:
A BUY signal requires:
Extreme event detection (tensor crosses threshold)
Bullish score > Bearish score
Price confirmation: Bullish candle (optional, user-controlled)
Volume confirmation: Volume > average (optional, user-controlled)
Momentum confirmation: Positive momentum (optional, user-controlled)
A SELL signal requires the inverse conditions.
INPUTS EXPLAINED - Core Parameters:
Global Horizon (Context): Default 20. Lookback period for normalization and volatility comparison. Higher values = smoother but less responsive. Lower values = more signals but potentially more noise.
Tensor Smoothing: Default 3. EMA period applied to final output. Removes "quantum foam" (high-frequency noise). Range 1-20.
Singularity Threshold: Default 90. Values above this (or below 100-threshold) trigger extreme event detection. Higher = rarer, stronger signals.
Signal Sensitivity (Epsilon): Default 1.0. Post-normalization compression factor. This is the key innovation - it actually works because it's applied AFTER normalization. Range 0.1-5.0.
Signal Interpreter Toggles:
Require Price Confirmation: Default ON. Only generates buy signals on bullish candles, sell signals on bearish candles. Reduces false signals but may delay entry.
Require Volume Confirmation: Default ON. Only signals when volume > average. Critical for stocks/crypto, less important for forex (unreliable volume data).
Use Momentum Filter: Default ON. Requires momentum agreement with signal direction. Prevents counter-trend signals.
Momentum Lookback: Default 5. Number of bars for momentum calculation. Shorter = more responsive, longer = trend-following bias.
Visual Controls:
Colors: Customizable colors for bullish flux, bearish flux, background, and event horizon.
Visual Transparency: Default 85. Master control for all visual elements (accretion disk, field lines, particles, etc.). Range 50-99. Signals and dashboard have separate controls.
Visibility Toggles: Individual on/off switches for:
Gravitational field lines (trend EMAs)
Field reversals (trend crossovers)
Accretion disk (background gradient)
Singularity diamonds (neutral extreme events)
Energy particles (volume bursts)
Event horizon flash (extreme event background)
Signal background flash
Signal Size: Tiny/Small/Normal triangle size
Signal Offsets: Separate controls for buy and sell signal vertical positioning (percentage of price)
Dashboard Settings:
Show Dashboard: Toggle on/off
Position: 9 placement options (all corners, centers, middles)
Text Size: Tiny/Small/Normal/Large
Background Transparency: 0-50, separate from visual transparency
VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED
1. Accretion Disk (Background Gradient):
A three-layer gradient background that intensifies as the tensor approaches extremes. The outer disk appears at any non-neutral reading, the inner disk activates above 70 or below 30, and the core layer appears above 85 or below 15. Color indicates direction (cyan = bullish, red = bearish). This provides instant visual feedback on market pressure intensity.
2. Gravitational Field Lines (EMAs):
Two trend-following EMAs (10 and 30 period) visualized as colored lines. These represent the "curvature" of market trend - when they diverge, trend is strong; when they converge, trend is weakening. Crossovers mark potential trend reversals.
3. Field Reversals (Circles):
Small circles appear when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA, indicating a potential trend change. These are distinct from extreme events and appear at normal market structure shifts.
4. Singularity Diamonds:
Small diamond shapes appear when the tensor reaches extreme levels (>90 or <10) but doesn't meet the full signal criteria. These are "watch" events - extreme pressure exists but directional confirmation is lacking.
5. Energy Particles (Dots):
Tiny dots appear when volume exceeds 2× average, indicating significant participation. Color matches bar direction. These highlight genuine high-conviction moves versus low-volume drifts.
6. Event Horizon Flash:
A golden background flash appears the instant any extreme threshold is breached, before directional analysis. This alerts you to pay attention.
7. Signal Background Flash:
When a full buy/sell signal is confirmed, the background flashes cyan (buy) or red (sell). This is your primary alert that all conditions are met.
8. Signal Triangles:
The actual buy (▲) and sell (▼) markers. These only appear when ALL selected confirmation criteria are satisfied. Position is offset from bars to avoid overlap with other indicators.
DASHBOARD METRICS EXPLAINED
The dashboard displays real-time calculated values:
Event Density: Current tensor value (0-100). Above 90 or below 10 = critical. Icon changes: 🔥 (extreme high), ❄️ (extreme low), ○ (neutral).
Time Dilation (γ): Current volatility ratio squared. Values >2.0 indicate extreme volatility environments. >1.5 = elevated, >1.0 = above average. Icon: ⚡ (extreme), ⚠ (elevated), ○ (normal).
Mass (Vol): Log-transformed volume value. Compared to volume ratio (current/average). Icon: ● (>2× avg), ◐ (>1× avg), ○ (below avg).
Velocity (ΔP): Raw price change. Direction arrow indicates momentum direction. Shows the actual price delta value.
Bullish Flux: Current bullish context score. Displayed as both a bar chart (visual) and numeric value. Brighter when bullish score dominates.
Bearish Flux: Current bearish context score. Same visualization as bullish flux. These scores compete - the winner determines signal direction.
Field: Trend direction based on EMA relationship. "Repulsive" (uptrend), "Attractive" (downtrend), "Neutral" (ranging). Icon: ⬆⬇↔
State: Current market condition:
🚀 EJECTION: Buy signal active
💥 COLLAPSE: Sell signal active
⚠ CRITICAL: Extreme event, no directional confirmation
● STABLE: Normal market conditions
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1. Wait for Extreme Events:
The indicator is designed to be selective. Don't trade every fluctuation - wait for tensor to reach >90 or <10. This alone is not a signal.
2. Check Context Scores:
Look at the Bullish Flux vs Bearish Flux in the dashboard. If scores are close (within 1-2 points), the market is indecisive - skip the trade.
3. Confirm with Signals:
Only act when a full triangle signal appears (▲ or ▼). This means ALL your selected confirmation criteria have been met.
4. Use with Price Structure:
Combine with support/resistance levels. A buy signal AT support is higher probability than a buy signal in the middle of nowhere.
5. Respect the Dashboard State:
When State shows "CRITICAL" (⚠), it means extreme pressure exists but direction is unclear. These are the most dangerous moments - wait for resolution.
6. Volume Matters:
Energy particles (dots) and the Mass metric tell you if institutions are participating. Signals without volume confirmation are lower probability.

Strong correlation with VIX - high VIX = more extreme events
Best on 15m-1h for day trading
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR UNIQUE
1. Post-Normalization Sensitivity Control:
Unlike most oscillators where sensitivity controls don't actually work (they're applied before normalization, which then rescales everything), FTS applies epsilon compression AFTER normalization. This means the sensitivity parameter genuinely affects signal frequency. This is a novel implementation not found in standard oscillators.
2. Multi-Factor Confluence Requirement:
The indicator doesn't just detect "overbought" or "oversold" - it detects extreme conditions AND THEN analyzes context through five separate factors (price structure, momentum, trend, acceleration, volume). Most indicators are single-factor; FTS requires confluence.
3. Volatility-Weighted Normalization:
By squaring the ATR ratio (local/global), the indicator adapts to changing market regimes. A 1% move in a low-volatility environment is treated differently than a 1% move in a high-volatility environment. Traditional indicators treat all moves equally regardless of context.
4. Volume Integration at the Core:
Volume isn't an afterthought or optional filter - it's baked into the fundamental equation as "mass." The log transformation handles outliers elegantly while preserving significance. Most price-based indicators completely ignore volume.
5. Adaptive Scoring System:
Rather than fixed buy/sell rules ("RSI >70 = sell"), FTS uses competitive scoring where bullish and bearish evidence compete. The winner determines direction. This solves the classic problem of "overbought markets can stay overbought during strong uptrends."
6. Comprehensive Visual Feedback:
The multi-layer visualization system (accretion disk, field lines, particles, flashes) provides instant intuitive feedback on market state without requiring dashboard reading. You can see pressure building before extreme thresholds are hit.
7. Separate Extreme Detection and Signal Generation:
"Singularity diamonds" show extreme events that don't meet full criteria, while "signal triangles" only appear when ALL conditions are met. This distinction helps traders understand when pressure exists versus when it's actionable.
COMPARISON TO EXISTING INDICATORS
vs. RSI/Stochastic:
These normalize price relative to recent range. FTS normalizes (price change × log volume × volatility ratio) - a composite metric, not just price position.
vs. Chaikin Money Flow:
CMF combines price and volume but lacks volatility context and doesn't use adaptive normalization or post-normalization compression.
vs. Bollinger Bands + Volume:
Bollinger Bands show volatility but don't integrate volume or create a unified oscillator. They're separate components, not synthesized.
vs. MACD:
MACD is pure momentum. FTS combines momentum with volume weighting and volatility context, plus provides a normalized 0-100 scale.
The specific combination of log-volume weighting, squared volatility amplification, post-normalization epsilon compression, and multi-factor directional scoring is unique to this indicator.
LIMITATIONS AND PROPER DISCLOSURE
Not a Holy Grail:
No indicator is perfect. This tool identifies high-probability setups but cannot predict the future. Losses will occur. Use proper risk management.
Requires Confirmation:
Best used in conjunction with price action analysis, support/resistance levels, and higher timeframe trend. Don't trade signals blindly.
Volume Data Dependency:
On forex (spot) and some low-volume instruments, volume data is unreliable or tick-volume only. Disable volume confirmation in these cases.
Lagging Components:
The EMA smoothing and trend filters are inherently lagging. In extremely fast moves, signals may appear after the initial thrust.
Extreme Event Rarity:
With conservative settings (high threshold, high epsilon), signals can be rare. This is by design - quality over quantity. If you need more frequent signals, reduce threshold to 85 and epsilon to 0.7.
Not Financial Advice:
This indicator is an analytical tool. All trading decisions and their consequences are solely your responsibility. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
BEST PRACTICES
Don't trade every singularity - wait for context confirmation
Higher timeframes = higher reliability
Combine with support/resistance for entry refinement
Volume confirmation is CRITICAL for stocks/crypto (toggle off only for forex)
During major news events, singularities are inevitable but direction may be uncertain - use wider stops
When bullish and bearish flux scores are close, skip the trade
Test settings on your specific instrument/timeframe before live trading
Use the dashboard actively - it contains critical diagnostic information

VHull Adaptive VHull Elite Adaptive - Advanced Hull Moving Average System
The VHull Elite Enhanced is a sophisticated trend-following indicator that combines the power of Hull Moving Averages with intelligent adaptive filtering and market regime detection. Designed for traders who demand precision and clarity, this indicator cuts through market noise to reveal true directional movement.
What Makes It Special
At its core, this indicator uses an enhanced Hull Moving Average calculation that blends traditional Hull MA with zero-lag components. The result is a line that responds quickly to genuine price movements while filtering out false signals. The adaptive noise filter automatically adjusts to current market volatility, providing smoother readings in choppy conditions and faster response in trending markets.
Key Features
The indicator displays a single, dynamic line that changes color based on trend strength. When the trend is strong and reliable, the line appears vibrant and solid. As momentum weakens, the color becomes more transparent, giving you an instant visual cue about trend quality. This color-coding eliminates guesswork and helps you stay in strong trends while avoiding weak or choppy moves.
Smart Market Analysis
The professional dashboard provides essential information at a glance. You can see the current Hull value, trend direction, strength percentage with visual bars, market regime classification, and volume status. The market regime detector identifies whether you are in a strong trend, regular trend, ranging market, volatile chop, or quiet period. This helps you adjust your trading strategy to match current market conditions.
Customization Options
Choose between Fixed mode for consistent behavior or Smart Adaptive mode that automatically adjusts to market conditions. The adaptive filter can be tuned for more smoothing or faster response. You can customize colors, line width, and dashboard position and size to match your preferences. The clean, minimal interface keeps your charts uncluttered while providing all the information you need.
Best Use Cases
This indicator excels in trending markets where it helps you identify entry points, stay with the trend, and recognize when momentum is fading. Use it on any timeframe from intraday to daily charts. It works well on stocks, forex, crypto, and futures. Combine it with your favorite support and resistance levels or volume analysis for a complete trading system.
How To Read It
When the line is green and trending up with high strength readings, look for long opportunities. When the line is red and trending down with high strength, consider short positions. Pay attention to the strength percentage - readings above 70 indicate very strong trends worth following. When strength drops below 40, the trend may be losing steam or entering consolidation.
The dashboard regime indicator helps you avoid trading during unfavorable conditions. Strong Trend and Trending regimes are ideal for position trades. Ranging and Volatile Chop conditions favor shorter-term strategies or staying on the sidelines.
Settings Guide
Start with the default settings which work well for most assets and timeframes. If you find the line too responsive, lower the Filter Sensitivity. For faster reaction to price changes, increase the sensitivity. Smart Adaptive mode is recommended for most traders as it automatically optimizes performance. Use Fixed mode if you prefer consistent behavior regardless of market conditions.
The Base Hull Length controls the overall responsiveness. Lower values like 14 to 18 work well for day trading. Standard settings of 21 to 34 suit swing trading. Higher values above 50 are better for position trading and longer timeframes.
Pro Tips
Watch for the line changing from transparent to solid color as a sign that a new strong trend is beginning. When the line color is very faint, the market may be consolidating - this is often a good time to wait for better setups. Use the volume indicator in the dashboard to confirm moves - strong trends should have elevated volume. The regime detector helps you know when to be aggressive and when to be cautious.
This indicator is not a standalone trading system but a powerful tool to identify high-quality trend opportunities and filter out low-probability setups. Combine it with proper risk management and your trading plan for best results.

Perfect for both day trading and swing trading.”
Swing High-Low Line ConnectorSwing High-Low Line Connector is a simple and intuitive tool that automatically detects swing highs and swing lows using fractal-style pivot logic and connects them with clean, continuous lines. This indicator helps traders visualize market structure, trend shifts, and swing-based support/resistance levels at a glance.
The script identifies each confirmed swing point based on a user-defined lookback window (left/right bars). When a new swing is confirmed, the indicator updates the previous leg or creates a new one, effectively drawing the classic “zigzag-style” connections used in discretionary trading and price-action analysis.
A dynamic tail extension is included to show the most recent swing extending toward the current price. By default, the tail follows a ZigZag-style logic—extending upward after a swing low and downward after a swing high—but users can also anchor it to Close, High, Low, or HL2.
Features
Automatic detection of swing highs and swing lows
Clean line connections between swings (similar to discretionary market-structure mapping)
Proper consolidation handling: weaker highs/lows are ignored
Optional ZigZag-style dynamic tail extension
Fully customizable lookback window, line color, and line width
Works on any market and timeframe
Use Cases
Identifying market structure (HH, HL, LH, LL)
Visualizing trend transitions
Spotting breakout levels and swing-based support/resistance
Aiding discretionary swing trading, trend following, or pattern recognition
This indicator keeps the logic simple and visual—ideal for traders who prefer clean chart structure without unnecessary noise.
Mars Signals - Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0(Joker)Comprehensive Trading Manual
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker)
## Chapter 1 – Philosophy & System Architecture
This script is not a simple “buy/sell” indicator.
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) is designed as an institutional-style analytical assistant that layers several methodologies into a single, coherent framework.
The system is built on four core pillars:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
- Detection of Order Blocks (professional demand/supply zones).
- Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) (price imbalances).
2. Smart DCA Strategy
- Combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands
- Identifies statistically discounted zones for scaling into spot positions or exiting shorts.
3. Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
- Distribution of volume by price, not by time.
- Identification of POC (Point of Control) and high-/low-volume areas.
4. Wyckoff Helper – Spring
- Detection of bear traps, liquidity grabs, and sharp bullish reversals.
All four pillars feed into a Confluence Engine (Scoring System).
The final output is presented in the Dashboard, with a clear, human-readable signal:
- STRONG LONG 🚀
- WEAK LONG ↗
- NEUTRAL / WAIT
- WEAK SHORT ↘
- STRONG SHORT 🩸
This allows the trader to see *how many* and *which* layers of the system support a bullish or bearish bias at any given time.
## Chapter 2 – Settings Overview
### 2.1 General & Dashboard Group
- Show Dashboard Panel (`show_dash`)
Turns the dashboard table in the corner of the chart ON/OFF.
- Show Signal Recommendation (`show_rec`)
- If enabled, the textual signal (STRONG LONG, WEAK SHORT, etc.) is displayed.
- If disabled, you only see feature status (ON/OFF) and the current price.
- Dashboard Position (`dash_pos`)
Determines where the dashboard appears on the chart:
- `Top Right`
- `Bottom Right`
- `Top Left`
### 2.2 Smart Money (SMC) Group
- Enable SMC Strategy (`show_smc`)
Globally enables or disables the Order Block and FVG logic.
- Order Block Pivot Lookback (`ob_period`)
Main parameter for detecting key pivot highs/lows (swing points).
- Default value: 5
- Concept:
A bar is considered a pivot low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
Similarly, a pivot high has a high higher than the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
These pivots are used as anchors for Order Blocks.
- Increasing `ob_period`:
- Fewer levels.
- But levels tend to be more significant and reliable.
- In highly volatile markets (major news, war events, FOMC, etc.),
using values 7–10 is recommended to filter out weak levels.
- Show Fair Value Gaps (`show_fvg`)
Enables/disables the drawing of FVG zones (imbalances).
- Bullish OB Color (`c_ob_bull`)
- Color of Bullish Order Blocks (Demand Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent green (transparency ≈ 80).
- Bearish OB Color (`c_ob_bear`)
- Color of Bearish Order Blocks (Supply Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent red.
- Bullish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bull`)
- Color of Bullish FVG (upward imbalance), typically yellow.
- Bearish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bear`)
- Color of Bearish FVG (downward imbalance), typically purple.
### 2.3 Smart DCA Strategy Group
- Enable DCA Zones (`show_dca`)
Enables the Smart DCA logic and visual labels.
- RSI Length (`rsi_len`)
Lookback period for RSI (default: 14).
- Shorter → more sensitive, more noise.
- Longer → fewer signals, higher reliability.
- Bollinger Bands Length (`bb_len`)
Moving average period for Bollinger Bands (default: 20).
- BB Multiplier (`bb_mult`)
Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands (default: 2.0).
- For extremely volatile markets, values like 2.5–3.0 can be used so that only extreme deviations trigger a DCA signal.
### 2.4 Volume Profile (Visible Range Sim) Group
- Show Volume Profile (`show_vp`)
Enables the simulated Volume Profile bars on the right side of the chart.
- Volume Lookback Bars (`vp_lookback`)
Number of bars used to compute the Volume Profile (default: 150).
- Higher values → broader historical context, heavier computation.
- Row Count (`vp_rows`)
Number of vertical price segments (rows) to divide the total price range into (default: 30).
- Width (%) (`vp_width`)
Relative width of each volume bar as a percentage.
In the code, bar widths are scaled relative to the row with the maximum volume.
> Technical note: Volume Profile calculations are executed only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) to keep the script performant even on higher timeframes.
### 2.5 Wyckoff Helper Group
- Show Wyckoff Events (`show_wyc`)
Enables detection and plotting of Wyckoff Spring events.
- Volume MA Length (`vol_ma_len`)
Length of the moving average on volume.
A bar is considered to have Ultra Volume if its volume is more than 2× the volume MA.
## Chapter 3 – Smart Money Strategy (Order Blocks & FVG)
### 3.1 What Is an Order Block?
An Order Block (OB) represents the footprint of large institutional orders:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone)
The last selling region (bearish candle/cluster) before a strong upward move.
- Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone)
The last buying region (bullish candle/cluster) before a strong downward move.
Institutions and large players place heavy orders in these regions. Typical price behavior:
- Price moves away from the zone.
- Later returns to the same zone to fill unfilled orders.
- Then continues the larger trend.
In the script:
- If `pl` (pivot low) forms → a Bullish OB is created.
- If `ph` (pivot high) forms → a Bearish OB is created.
The box is drawn:
- From `bar_index ` to `bar_index`.
- Between `low ` and `high `.
- `extend=extend.right` extends the OB into the future, so it acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
- Only the last 4 OB boxes are kept to avoid clutter.
### 3.2 Order Block Color Guide
- Semi-transparent Green (`c_ob_bull`)
- Represents a Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bullish reaction.
- Semi-transparent Red (`c_ob_bear`)
- Represents a Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bearish reaction.
Overlap (Multiple OBs in the Same Area)
When two or more Order Blocks overlap:
- The shared area appears visually denser/stronger.
- This suggests higher order density.
- Such zones can be treated as high-priority levels for entries, exits, and stop-loss placement.
### 3.3 Demand/Supply Logic in the Scoring Engine
is_in_demand = low <= ta.lowest(low, 20)
is_in_supply = high >= ta.highest(high, 20)
- If current price is near the lowest lows of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Demand Zone → positive impact on score.
- If current price is near the highest highs of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Supply Zone → negative impact on score.
This logic complements Order Blocks and helps the Dashboard distinguish whether:
- Market is currently in a statistically cheap (long-friendly) area, or
- In a statistically expensive (short-friendly) area.
### 3.4 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
#### Concept
When the market moves aggressively:
- Some price levels are skipped and never traded.
- A gap between wicks/shadows of consecutive candles appears.
- These regions are called Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Imbalances.
The market generally “dislikes” imbalance and often:
- Returns to these zones in the future.
- Fills the gap (rebalance).
- Then resumes its dominant direction.
#### Implementation in the Code
Bullish FVG (Yellow)
fvg_bull_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and low > high and close > high
if fvg_bull_cond
box.new(bar_index , high , bar_index, low, ...)
Core condition:
`low > high ` → the current low is above the high of two bars ago; the space between them is an untraded gap.
Bearish FVG (Purple)
fvg_bear_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and high < low and close < low
if fvg_bear_cond
box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index, high, ...)
Core condition:
`high < low ` → the current high is below the low of two bars ago; again a price gap exists.
#### FVG Color Guide
- Transparent Yellow (`c_fvg_bull`) – Bullish FVG
Often acts like a magnet for price:
- Price tends to retrace into this zone,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then continue higher.
- Transparent Purple (`c_fvg_bear`) – Bearish FVG
Price tends to:
- Retrace upward into the purple area,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then resume downward movement.
#### Trading with FVGs
- FVGs are *not* standalone entry signals.
They are best used as:
- Targets (take-profit zones), or
- Reaction areas where you expect a pause or reversal.
Examples:
- If you are long, a bearish FVG above is often an excellent take-profit zone.
- If you are short, a bullish FVG below is often a good cover/exit zone.
### 3.5 Core SMC Trading Templates
#### Reversal Long
1. Price trades down into a green Order Block (Demand Zone).
2. A bullish confirmation candle (Close > Open) forms inside or just above the OB.
3. If this zone is close to or aligned with a bullish FVG (yellow), the signal is reinforced.
4. Entry:
- At the close of the confirmation candle, or
- Using a limit order near the upper boundary of the OB.
5. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
- If the OB is broken decisively and price consolidates below it, the zone loses validity.
6. Targets:
- The next FVG,
- Or the next red Order Block (Supply Zone) above.
#### Reversal Short
The mirror scenario:
- Price rallies into a red Order Block (Supply).
- A bearish confirmation candle forms (Close < Open).
- FVG/premium structure above can act as a confluence.
- Stop-loss goes above the OB.
- Targets: lower FVGs or subsequent green OBs below.
## Chapter 4 – Smart DCA Strategy (RSI + Bollinger Bands)
### 4.1 Smart DCA Concept
- Classic DCA = buying at fixed time intervals regardless of price.
- Smart DCA = scaling in only when:
- Price is statistically cheaper than usual, and
- The market is in a clear oversold condition.
Code logic:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(close, rsi_len)
= ta.bb(close, bb_len, bb_mult)
dca_buy = show_dca and rsi_val < 30 and close < bb_lower
dca_sell = show_dca and rsi_val > 70 and close > bb_upper
Conditions:
- DCA Buy – Smart Scale-In Zone
- RSI < 30 → oversold.
- Close < lower Bollinger Band → price has broken below its typical volatility envelope.
- DCA Sell – Overbought/Distribution Zone
- RSI > 70 → overbought.
- Close > upper Bollinger Band → price is extended far above the mean.
### 4.2 Visual Representation on the Chart
- Green “DCA” Label Below Candle
- Shape: `labelup`.
- Color: lime background, white text.
- Meaning: statistically attractive level for laddered spot entries or short exits.
- Red “SELL” Label Above Candle
- Warning that the market is in an extended, overbought condition.
- Suitable for profit-taking on longs or considering short entries (with proper confluence and risk management).
- Light Green Background (`bgcolor`)
- When `dca_buy` is true, the candle background turns very light green (high transparency).
- This helps visually identify DCA Zones across the chart at a glance.
### 4.3 Practical Use in Trading
#### Spot Trading
Used to build a better average entry price:
- Every time a DCA label appears, allocate a fixed portion of capital (e.g., 2–5%).
- Combining DCA signals with:
- Green OBs (Demand Zones), and/or
- The Volume Profile POC
makes the zone structurally more important.
#### Futures Trading
- Longs
- Use DCA Buy signals as low-risk zones for opening or adding to longs when:
- Price is inside a green OB, or
- The Dashboard already leans LONG.
- Shorts
- Use DCA Sell signals as:
- Exit zones for longs, or
- Areas to initiate shorts with stops above structural highs.
## Chapter 5 – Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
### 5.1 Concept
Traditional volume (histogram under the chart) shows volume over time.
Volume Profile shows volume by price level:
- At which prices has the highest trading activity occurred?
- Where did buyers and sellers agree the most (High Volume Nodes – HVNs)?
- Where did price move quickly due to low participation (Low Volume Nodes – LVNs)?
### 5.2 Implementation in the Script
Executed only when `show_vp` is enabled and on the last bar:
1. The last `vp_lookback` bars (default 150) are processed.
2. The minimum low and maximum high over this window define the price range.
3. This price range is divided into `vp_rows` segments (e.g., 30 rows).
4. For each row:
- All bars are scanned.
- If the mid-price `(high + low ) / 2` falls inside a row, that bar’s volume is added to the row total.
5. The row with the greatest volume is stored as `max_vol_idx` (the POC row).
6. For each row, a volume box is drawn on the right side of the chart.
### 5.3 Color Scheme
- Semi-transparent Orange
- The row with the maximum volume – the Point of Control (POC).
- Represents the strongest support/resistance level from a volume perspective.
- Semi-transparent Blue
- Other volume rows.
- The taller the bar → the higher the volume → the stronger the interest at that price band.
### 5.4 Trading Applications
- If price is above POC and retraces back into it:
→ POC often acts as support, suitable for long setups.
- If price is below POC and rallies into it:
→ POC often acts as resistance, suitable for short setups or profit-taking.
HVNs (Tall Blue Bars)
- Represent areas of equilibrium where the market has spent time and traded heavily.
- Price tends to consolidate here before choosing a direction.
LVNs (Short or Nearly Empty Bars)
- Represent low participation zones.
- Price often moves quickly through these areas – useful for targeting fast moves.
## Chapter 6 – Wyckoff Helper – Spring
### 6.1 Spring Concept
In the Wyckoff framework:
- A Spring is a false break of support.
- The market briefly trades below a well-defined support level, triggers stop losses,
then sharply reverses upward as institutional buyers absorb liquidity.
This movement:
- Clears out weak hands (retail sellers).
- Provides large players with liquidity to enter long positions.
- Often initiates a new uptrend.
### 6.2 Code Logic
Conditions for a Spring:
1. The current low is lower than the lowest low of the previous 50 bars
→ apparent break of a long-standing support.
2. The bar closes bullish (Close > Open)
→ the breakdown was rejected.
3. Volume is significantly elevated:
→ `volume > 2 × volume_MA` (Ultra Volume).
When all conditions are met and `show_wyc` is enabled:
- A pink diamond is plotted below the bar,
- With the label “Spring” – one of the strongest long signals in this system.
### 6.3 Trading Use
- After a valid Spring, markets frequently enter a meaningful bullish phase.
- The highest quality setups occur when:
- The Spring forms inside a green Order Block, and
- Near or on the Volume Profile POC.
Entries:
- At the close of the Spring bar, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of the Spring candle.
Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the Spring’s lowest point (wick low plus a small buffer).
## Chapter 7 – Confluence Engine & Dashboard
### 7.1 Scoring Logic
For each bar, the script:
1. Resets `score` to 0.
2. Adjusts the score based on different signals.
SMC Contribution
if show_smc
if is_in_demand
score += 1
if is_in_supply
score -= 1
- Being in Demand → `+1`
- Being in Supply → `-1`
DCA Contribution
if show_dca
if dca_buy
score += 2
if dca_sell
score -= 2
- DCA Buy → `+2` (strong, statistically driven long signal)
- DCA Sell → `-2`
Wyckoff Spring Contribution
if show_wyc
if wyc_spring
score += 2
- Spring → `+2` (entry of strong money)
### 7.2 Mapping Score to Dashboard Signal
- score ≥ 2 → STRONG LONG 🚀
Multiple bullish conditions aligned.
- score = 1 → WEAK LONG ↗
Some bullish bias, but only one layer clearly positive.
- score = 0 → NEUTRAL / WAIT
Rough balance between buying and selling forces; staying flat is usually preferable.
- score = -1 → WEAK SHORT ↘
Mild bearish bias, suited for cautious or short-term plays.
- score ≤ -2 → STRONG SHORT 🩸
Convergence of several bearish signals.
### 7.3 Dashboard Structure
The dashboard is a two-column table:
- Row 0
- Column 0: `"Mars Signals"` – black background, white text.
- Column 1: `"UIS v3.0"` – black background, yellow text.
- Row 1
- Column 0: `"Price:"` (light grey background).
- Column 1: current closing price (`close`) with a semi-transparent blue background.
- Row 2
- Column 0: `"SMC:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_smc = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 3
- Column 0: `"DCA:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_dca = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 4
- Column 0: `"Signal:"`
- Column 1: signal text (`status_txt`) with background color `status_col`
(green, red, teal, maroon, etc.)
- If `show_rec = false`, these cells are cleared.

## Chapter 9 – Timeframe-Based Trading Playbook
### 9.1 Timeframe Selection
- Scalping
- Timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M
- Objective: fast intraday moves (minutes to a few hours).
- Recommendation: focus on SMC + Wyckoff.
Smart DCA on very low timeframes may introduce excessive noise.
- Day Trading
- Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Provides a good balance between signal quality and frequency.
- Recommendation: use the full stack – SMC + DCA + Volume Profile + Wyckoff + Dashboard.
- Swing Trading & Position Investing
- Timeframes: Daily, Weekly
- Emphasis on Smart DCA + Volume Profile.
- SMC and Wyckoff are used mainly to fine-tune swing entries within larger trends.
### 9.2 Scenario A – Scalping Long
Example: 5-Minute Chart
1. Price is declining into a green OB (Bullish Demand).
2. A candle with a long lower wick and bullish close (Pin Bar / Rejection) forms inside the OB.
3. A Spring diamond appears below the same candle → very strong confluence.
4. The Dashboard shows at least WEAK LONG ↗, ideally STRONG LONG 🚀.
5. Entry:
- On the close of the confirmation candle, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of that candle.
6. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
7. Targets:
- Nearby bearish FVG above, and/or
- The next red OB.
### 9.3 Scenario B – Day-Trading Short
Recommended Timeframes: 1H or 4H
1. The market completes a strong impulsive move upward.
2. Price enters a red Order Block (Supply).
3. In the same zone, a purple FVG appears or remains unfilled.
4. On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15M), RSI enters overbought territory and a DCA Sell signal appears.
5. The main timeframe Dashboard (1H) shows WEAK SHORT ↘ or STRONG SHORT 🩸.
Trade Plan
- Open a short near the upper boundary of the red OB.
- Place the stop above the OB or above the last swing high.
- Targets:
- A yellow FVG lower on the chart, and/or
- The next green OB (Demand) below.
### 9.4 Scenario C – Swing / Investment with Smart DCA
Timeframes: Daily / Weekly
1. On the daily or weekly chart, each time a green “DCA” label appears:
- Allocate a fixed fraction of your capital (e.g., 3–5%) to that asset.
2. Check whether this DCA zone aligns with the orange POC of the Volume Profile:
- If yes → the quality of the entry zone is significantly higher.
3. If the DCA signal sits inside a daily green OB, the probability of a medium-term bottom increases.
4. Always build the position laddered, never all-in at a single price.
Exits for investors:
- Near weekly red OBs or large purple FVG zones.
- Ideally via partial profit-taking rather than closing 100% at once.
### 9.5 Case Study 1 – BTCUSDT (15-Minute)
- Context: Price has sold off down towards 65,000 USD.
- A green OB had previously formed at that level.
- Near the lower boundary of this OB, a partially filled yellow FVG is present.
- As price returns to this region, a Spring appears.
- The Dashboard shifts from NEUTRAL / WAIT to WEAK LONG ↗.
Plan
- Enter a long near the OB low.
- Place stop below the Spring low.
- First target: a purple FVG around 66,200.
- Second (optional) target: the first red OB above that level.
### 9.6 Case Study 2 – Meme Coin (PEPE – 4H)
- After a strong pump, price enters a corrective phase.
- On the 4H chart, RSI drops below 30; price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band → a DCA label prints.
- The Volume Profile shows the POC at approximately the same level.
- The Dashboard displays STRONG LONG 🚀.
Plan
- Execute laddered buys in the combined DCA + POC zone.
- Place a protective stop below the last significant swing low.
- Target: an expected 20–30% upside move towards the next red OB or purple FVG.
## Chapter 10 – Risk Management, Psychology & Advanced Tuning
### 10.1 Risk Management
No signal, regardless of its strength, replaces risk control.
Recommendations:
- In futures, do not expose more than 1–3% of account equity to risk per trade.
- Adjust leverage to the volatility of the instrument (lower leverage for highly volatile altcoins).
- Place stop-losses in zones where the idea is clearly invalidated:
- Below/above the relevant Order Block or Spring, not randomly in the middle of the structure.
### 10.2 Market-Specific Parameter Tuning
- Calmer Markets (e.g., major FX pairs)
- `ob_period`: 3–5.
- `bb_mult`: 2.0 is usually sufficient.
- Highly Volatile Markets (Crypto, news-driven assets)
- `ob_period`: 7–10 to highlight only the most robust OBs.
- `bb_mult`: 2.5–3.0 so that only extreme deviations trigger DCA.
- `vol_ma_len`: increase (e.g., to ~30) so that Spring triggers only on truly exceptional
volume spikes.
### 10.3 Trading Psychology
- STRONG LONG 🚀 does not mean “risk-free”.
It means the probability of a successful long, given the model’s logic, is higher than average.
- Treat Mars Signals as a confirmation and context system, not a full replacement for your own decision-making.
- Example of disciplined thinking:
- The Dashboard prints STRONG LONG,
- But price is simultaneously testing a multi-month macro resistance or a major negative news event is imminent,
- In such cases, trade smaller, widen stops appropriately, or skip the trade.
## Chapter 11 – Technical Notes & FAQ
### 11.1 Does the Script Repaint?
- Order Blocks and Springs are based on completed pivot structures and confirmed candles.
- Until a pivot is confirmed, an OB does not exist; after confirmation, behavior is stable under classic SMC assumptions.
- The script is designed to be structurally consistent rather than repainting signals arbitrarily.
### 11.2 Computational Load of Volume Profile
- On the last bar, the script processes up to `vp_lookback` bars × `vp_rows` rows.
- On very low timeframes with heavy zooming, this can become demanding.
- If you experience performance issues:
- Reduce `vp_lookback` or `vp_rows`, or
- Temporarily disable Volume Profile (`show_vp = false`).
### 11.3 Multi-Timeframe Behavior
- This version of the script is not internally multi-timeframe.
All logic (OB, DCA, Spring, Volume Profile) is computed on the active timeframe only.
- Practical workflow:
- Analyze overall structure and key zones on higher timeframes (4H / Daily).
- Use lower timeframes (15M / 1H) with the same tool for timing entries and exits.
## Conclusion

Trend ProTrend Pro is a volatility-adaptive trend and momentum system designed for scalping, day trading, and short-term swing trading.
It uses an ATR-based dynamic trend line (Alpha-Trend style) to identify momentum shifts and confirm directional strength.
Unlike traditional moving averages, Trend Pro adapts to volatility and reacts faster during expansions while filtering noise during chop.
🔍 How Trend Pro Works
Trend Pro builds a dynamic volatility channel using ATR and tracks whether price stays above or below this adaptive line.
When price crosses and closes on the opposite side, it suggests a shift in market control.
When price closes above the line → the trend turns BULLISH (green)
When price closes below the line → the trend turns BEARISH (red)
This gives a clear, visual trend state without repainting.
Tips for Best Performance:
✔ Avoid signals directly inside major ranges or sideways chop
✔ Strongest entries come after small pullbacks into the line
✔ Combine signals with:
Market structure
Key swing highs/lows
Liquidity sweeps
Session timing (NYSE open, power hour)
✔ Trend Pro works best when used with the trend, not counter-trend

SimpleAlgo.io V4.1SimpleAlgo V4.1 — Multi-Layer Trend & Market Structure Framework
SimpleAlgo V4.1 is an advanced all-in-one market framework designed to help traders visually interpret trend direction, volatility conditions, potential reversal areas, and trade planning levels — all without relying on traditional lagging indicators.
This version introduces improved trend mapping, refined reversal zones, adaptive take-profit logic, and expanded risk-management visualization.
🔹 Core Concept
V4.1 analyzes price movement, volatility behavior, and momentum shifts to outline trend bias, market context, and potential turning points.
The goal is not to predict price, but to organize the chart into clear, actionable regions:
- Trending vs ranged environments
- Extended vs balanced price conditions
- Momentum shifts and transitions
- Areas where reactions or reversals are more likely
The indicator is designed to complement your own strategy — not produce mechanical buy/sell rules.
🔹 Trend Identification
The internal trend engine evaluates both directional movement and volatility compression/expansion to determine whether conditions favor a bullish or bearish environment.
You can optionally display:
- A trend tracker line
- A trend cloud
- Gradient-based bar coloring for momentum shifts
- A smoothing-based signal line for visual confirmation
These tools help quickly identify the dominant directional context.
🔹 Signals (Optional)
V4.1 can highlight potential long/short opportunities when price transitions through key internal levels while aligned with the active trend environment.
These are points of interest, not trade instructions.
They work best when combined with structure, trend context, and independent analysis.
🔹 Reversal Zones
Volatility-influenced bands outline areas where price may become stretched relative to recent conditions.
These zones can help identify:
- Potential exhaustion
- Pullback regions in trends
- Profit-taking areas
- High-risk chase zones
- Reversal bands do not predict tops or bottoms — they simply highlight areas where reactions become more probable.
🔹 Support & Resistance
Optional pivot-based S/R levels automatically mark key structural areas.
These are anchored on recent swing points and help contextualize:
- Breakouts
- Failed breakouts
- Retests
- Range boundaries
🔹 Risk Management Tools
V4.1 includes a complete visual framework for trade planning:
- Dynamic Take-Profit Markers
- Adaptive targets based on evolving momentum conditions.
- Can help identify when a move starts losing strength.
- Static Multi-R TP/SL Levels
- ATR-based levels that outline:
- Stop distance
- 1:1 Take Profit
- 2:1 Take Profit
- 3:1 Take Profit
- An adaptive trailing stop that responds to trend strength and volatility shifts.
(Useful for riding strong moves while locking in unrealized gains.)
🔹 Trend Cloud
A multi-layer directional zone that provides a higher-level view of trend health and momentum alignment.
Useful for identifying:
- Expanding / contracting momentum
- Trend continuations
- Transitional phases
- Trend exhaustion
🔹 Customization
Nearly every component can be toggled on/off:
- Trend tracking
- Cloud
- Signals
- Bands
- Bar coloring
- S/R
- Dynamic TP
- Static TP/SL layers
- Trailing stops
- You can also switch sensitivity modes for scalping, day trading, or swing trading.

SMI Color Red/Green📌 TradingView Description – SMI Red/Green Momentum Line
🔥 Stochastics Momentum Index (SMI) – Dynamic Red/Green Version
This indicator is an enhanced and modernized version of the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI), designed to deliver a more visual, intuitive, and responsive view of trend momentum.
It includes:
✔️ Smoothed SMI
✔️ Dynamic Red/Green momentum coloring
✔️ Signal EMA line
✔️ Overbought/Oversold zones with shading
🎨 Dynamic Red/Green SMI Line
The main SMI line automatically changes color based on momentum direction:
Green → Bullish momentum (SMI rising)
Red → Bearish momentum (SMI falling)
This provides instant visual feedback and highlights early momentum changes even before traditional signal-line crossovers.
📉 Indicator Structure
1️⃣ Smoothed SMI
The SMI is calculated using the price’s position inside its range and then smoothed with an SMA to reduce noise.
2️⃣ EMA Signal Line
A customizable EMA acts as a signal line, providing:
Clear bullish/bearish crossovers
Trend confirmation
Cleaner entry/exit signals
3️⃣ Overbought / Oversold Zones
Extreme levels are highlighted using color-filled zones:
Red Zone (Overbought) → potential bearish reversal
Green Zone (Oversold) → potential bullish reversal
Levels are fully adjustable.
💡 How to Use It
The indicator works exceptionally well across all timeframes.
The most powerful signals are:
✔️ SMI crossing above/below the EMA
SMI crosses above EMA → bullish signal
SMI crosses below EMA → bearish signal
✔️ Leaving Overbought/Oversold zones
SMI exits the oversold zone → potential long setup
SMI exits the overbought zone → potential short setup
✔️ Color shifts (momentum direction)
Red → Green : early bullish momentum
Green → Red : early bearish momentum
Perfect for scalping, day trading, and swing trading.

Smart Swing & Order Block Pro v1📌 Smart Swing & Order Block Pro v1
The Smart Swing & Order Block Pro v1 indicator is an advanced tool designed for traders who use Smart Money Concepts, institutional analysis, and deep market-structure reading. It combines precise Order Block detection, intelligent classification, reliable swing identification, and professional volume/delta filtering to deliver a clean, structured, and actionable view of price behavior.
🎯 Indicator Purpose
Provide a consistent, clean, and verifiable identification of institutional zones (OBs), their evolution over time, their break and mitigation events, and a complete structural reading of swings and trend direction.
This indicator replaces the typical noise found in standard OB tools with a robust system based on:
OBs validated by volume and delta
Dynamic OB classification (Extreme, Mitigated, Breaker, Intermediate)
Clean visual separation between intact and broken OBs
Accurate Swing High / Swing Low detection using dynamic pivots
Visual panels with quantitative swing and OB statistics
🧠 Key Features
1. Precision Order Block Detection
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish Order Blocks using a combination of:
Market structure
Validated breakouts
Optional filtering via relative volume (RVOL)
Normalized delta filtering to measure directional intent
This prevents low-quality or non-institutional OBs from being drawn.
2. Intelligent OB Classification
Each detected OB is automatically assigned a structural role:
🔹 Extreme OB
The origin point of a movement (up leg or down leg).
Crucial for spotting institutional footprints and major displacement zones.
🔹 Mitigated OB
An OB already tapped or partially consumed by price.
Useful for identifying weakened zones or controlled pullbacks.
🔹 Breaker OB
An OB broken by price in the opposite direction.
The box is visually split into two parts:
Left section → original OB color
Right section → breaker color
🔹 Intermediate OB
Active OBs that do not meet the criteria above.
3. Professional OB Visualization
OBs automatically extend to the right.
Broken OBs show a clear color split (intact vs. breaker).
Mitigated OBs update color automatically.
Extreme OBs are highlighted with a special color.
Automatic cleanup of boxes and lines for performance and clarity.
4. Ultra-Precise Swing Detection
Unlike standard swing indicators:
Uses configurable pivot strengths
Marks the exact candle that created the swing
Avoids excessive false signals
Draws clean swing-high and swing-low lines
Places crosses exactly when price breaks a swing
This results in a perfectly readable structure (HH, HL, LH, LL).
5. Dynamic Panels
The script includes two optional informational panels:
📊 Swing Panel
Displays:
Average bars between swing highs
Average bars between swing lows
Current trend based on structure (UP / DOWN / RANGE)
📉 OB Panel
Displays counts of:
Bullish Extreme
Bullish Mitigated
Bearish Extreme
Bearish Mitigated
Perfect for evaluating institutional strength and directional bias.
⚙️ Configurable Options
Swing strength (independent lookback for high/low)
Use of candle body vs. wicks
Volume/delta filter modes (Strict, Normal, Loose)
Toggle visibility of OBs, swings, and panels
Color themes per OB classification
Panel positioning (Top Left / Top Right)
🎨 Clean and Professional Visualization
The indicator focuses on:
Clarity
Structural accuracy

## English Documentation
### Overview
Scout Regiment - MACD is an advanced implementation of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator with enhanced features including dual divergence detection (histogram and MACD line), customizable moving average types, multi-timeframe analysis, and sophisticated visual elements. This indicator provides traders with comprehensive momentum analysis and high-probability reversal signals.
### What is MACD?
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages:
- **MACD Line**: Difference between fast and slow EMAs
- **Signal Line**: Moving average of the MACD line
- **Histogram**: Difference between MACD line and signal line
- **Purpose**: Identifies trend direction, momentum strength, and potential reversals
### Key Features
#### 1. **Enhanced MACD Display**
**Three Core Components:**
**MACD Line** (Default: Blue/Orange, 2px)
- Fast EMA (13) minus Slow EMA (34)
- Shows momentum direction
- Color changes based on position relative to signal line:
- Blue: Above signal line (bullish)
- Orange: Below signal line (bearish)
- Can be toggled on/off
**Signal Line** (Default: White/Blue with transparency, 2px)
- EMA (9) of the MACD line
- Serves as trigger line for crossover signals
- Color varies based on settings
- Essential for identifying entry/exit points
**Histogram** (Default: 4-color gradient, 4px columns)
- Difference between MACD and signal line
- Visual representation of momentum strength
- Advanced 4-color scheme:
- **Dark Green (#26A69A)**: Positive and increasing (strong bullish)
- **Light Green (#B2DFDB)**: Positive but decreasing (weakening bullish)
- **Dark Red (#FF5252)**: Negative and decreasing (strong bearish)
- **Light Red (#FFCDD2)**: Negative but increasing (weakening bearish)
- Histogram tells the "story" of momentum changes
#### 2. **Customizable Moving Average Types**
**Oscillator MA Type** (MACD Line calculation):
- **EMA** (Exponential) - Default, more responsive
- **SMA** (Simple) - Smoother, less responsive
**Signal Line MA Type**:
- **EMA** (Exponential) - Default, faster signals
- **SMA** (Simple) - Slower, fewer false signals
**Flexibility**: Mix and match for different trading styles
- EMA/EMA: Most responsive (day trading)
- SMA/SMA: Smoothest (swing trading)
- EMA/SMA or SMA/EMA: Balanced approaches
#### 3. **Multi-Timeframe Capability**
**Current Chart Period** (Default: Enabled)
- Uses current timeframe automatically
- Simplest option for most traders
**Custom Timeframe Selection**
- Calculate MACD on any timeframe
- Display higher timeframe MACD on lower timeframe charts
- Example: View 1H MACD on 15min chart
- **Use Case**: Align lower timeframe trades with higher timeframe momentum
#### 4. **Visual Enhancement Features**
**Golden Cross / Death Cross Markers**
- Circles mark crossover points
- Color matches MACD line color
- Clearly identifies entry/exit signals
- Can be toggled on/off
**Zero Line** (White, 2px solid)
- Reference for positive/negative momentum
- Critical level for trend identification
- MACD above zero = Bullish bias
- MACD below zero = Bearish bias
**Color Transitions**
- MACD line changes color at signal line crosses
- Histogram shows momentum acceleration/deceleration
- Provides early warning of trend changes
#### 5. **Dual Divergence Detection System**
This indicator features TWO separate divergence detection systems:
**A. Histogram Divergence Detection**
- **Purpose**: Earlier divergence signals (most sensitive)
- **Detects**: Regular bullish and bearish divergences
- **Label**: "H涨" (Histogram Up), "H跌" (Histogram Down)
- **Special Feature**: Same-sign requirement option
- Top divergence: Both histogram points must be positive
- Bottom divergence: Both histogram points must be negative
- Filters out less reliable divergences
**B. MACD Line Divergence Detection**
- **Purpose**: Stronger, more reliable divergences
- **Detects**: Regular bullish and bearish divergences
- **Label**: "M涨" (MACD Up), "M跌" (MACD Down)
- **Use**: Confirmation of histogram divergences or standalone
**Divergence Types Explained:**
**Regular Bullish Divergence (Yellow)**
- **Price**: Lower lows
- **Indicator**: Higher lows (histogram OR MACD line)
- **Signal**: Potential upward reversal
- **Best**: Near support levels, oversold conditions
- **Entry**: After price breaks above recent resistance
**Regular Bearish Divergence (Blue)**
- **Price**: Higher highs
- **Indicator**: Lower highs (histogram OR MACD line)

- Example: 4H MACD on 1H chart
- Uncheck "Use Current Chart Period"
- Select desired timeframe
2. **Identify Higher TF Trend**
- MACD position relative to zero
- MACD vs signal line relationship
3. **Trade with HTF Direction**
- Only take long signals if HTF MACD bullish
- Only take short signals if HTF MACD bearish
4. **Use Current TF for Entries**
- Higher TF for bias
- Current TF for precise timing
#### For Histogram Analysis
1. **Enable 4-Color Histogram**
- Watch color transitions
- Dark colors = Strong momentum
- Light colors = Weakening momentum
2. **Momentum Stages**
- Dark green → Light green = Bullish losing steam
- Light red → Dark red = Bearish gaining strength
3. **Trade Transitions**
- Light green to light red = Momentum shift (potential reversal)
- Entry on confirmation crossover
### Trading Strategies
#### Strategy 1: Classic MACD Crossover
**Setup:**
- Standard settings (13/34/9)
- Enable MACD, signal line, and cross markers
- Clear trend on higher timeframe
**Entry:**
- **Long**: Golden cross (circle marker) above zero line
- **Short**: Death cross (circle marker) below zero line
**Confirmation:**
- Histogram color supporting direction
- Volume increase helps
**Stop Loss:**
- Below recent swing low (long)
- Above recent swing high (short)
**Exit:**
- Opposite crossover
- MACD crosses zero line against position
**Best For:** Trend following, clear trending markets
#### Strategy 2: Zero Line Bounce
**Setup:**
- Enable all components
- Established trend (MACD staying one side of zero)
- Wait for pullback to zero line
**Entry:**
- **Long**: MACD touches zero from above, bounces up with golden cross
- **Short**: MACD touches zero from below, bounces down with death cross
**Confirmation:**
- Histogram color change
- Price at support/resistance
**Stop Loss:**
- Just beyond zero line (opposite side)
**Exit:**
- Target previous extreme
- Or opposite crossover
**Best For:** Trend continuation, strong markets
#### Strategy 3: Dual Divergence Confirmation
**Setup:**
- Enable both histogram and MACD line divergences
- Price at extreme (high/low)
- Wait for divergence signals
**Entry:**
- **Long**: Both "H涨" AND "M涨" labels appear
- **Short**: Both "H跌" AND "M跌" labels appear
**Confirmation:**

- **Short**: Light green → Light red transition + death cross
**Rationale:**
- Light colors show momentum exhaustion
- Color flip = momentum shift
- Early entry before full trend reversal
**Stop Loss:**
- Recent swing point
**Exit:**
- Histogram color turns light against position
- Or at predetermined target
**Best For:** Scalping, day trading, early entries
#### Strategy 5: Multi-Timeframe Momentum
**Setup:**

- Both timeframes aligned
**Stop Loss:**
- Based on current timeframe structure
**Exit:**
- Current TF opposite crossover
- Or HTF MACD momentum weakens
**Best For:** Swing trading, high-probability setups
#### Strategy 6: Histogram-Only Divergence Scout
**Setup:**
- Enable only histogram divergence
- Use "same sign requirement"
- Focus on early signals
**Entry:**
- **Long**: "H涨" label + price at support
- **Short**: "H跌" label + price at resistance

- MACD shows momentum
- Enter when both align
- Exit when MACD turns first
**With RSI:**
- RSI for overbought/oversold
- MACD for momentum confirmation
- Divergence on both = Extremely strong signal
- RSI + MACD divergence = High probability trade
**With Volume:**
- Volume confirms MACD signals
- Crossover + volume spike = Valid breakout
- Divergence + volume divergence = Strong reversal
**With Support/Resistance:**
- S/R levels for entry/exit targets
- MACD divergence at levels = Highest probability
- MACD crossover at level = Strong confirmation
**With Bias Indicator:**
- Bias shows price deviation from EMA
- MACD shows momentum
- Both diverging = Powerful reversal signal
- Bias extreme + MACD divergence = High conviction trade
**With OBV:**
- OBV shows volume trend
- MACD shows price momentum
- OBV + MACD divergence = Volume not supporting price
- Strong reversal indication
**With KSI (RSI/CCI):**
- KSI for oscillator extremes
- MACD for momentum direction
- KSI extreme + MACD divergence = Reversal likely
- All aligned = Maximum confidence
### Common MACD Patterns
1. **Bullish Cross Above Zero**: Strong uptrend continuation signal
2. **Bearish Cross Below Zero**: Strong downtrend continuation signal
3. **Zero Line Rejection**: Price respects zero as support/resistance
4. **Histogram Peak**: Momentum climax, watch for reversal
5. **Double Divergence**: Two divergences without reversal = Very strong signal when it finally reverses
6. **Histogram Convergence**: Histogram narrowing = Trend losing steam
7. **Signal Line Hug**: MACD stays close to signal = Consolidation, expect breakout
### Performance Tips
- Start with default settings (13/34/9 EMA/EMA)
- Test one divergence system at a time
- Use same sign requirement initially
- Enable cross markers for clear signals
- Adjust lookback parameters per market volatility
- Higher timeframe MACD more reliable than lower
- Combine histogram early signal with MACD line confirmation
- Don't trade every divergence - wait for best setups
### Alert Conditions
While not explicitly coded, you can set custom alerts on:
- MACD crossing above/below signal line
- MACD crossing above/below zero line
- Histogram crossing zero
- When divergence labels appear (using visual alerts)

### 使用方法
#### 基础趋势跟随
1. **启用核心组件**
- MACD线、信号线和直方图
- 启用交叉标记
2. **识别趋势**
- MACD在零线上方 = 上升趋势
- MACD在零线下方 = 下降趋势
3. **观察交叉**
- 金叉（MACD向上穿越信号线）= 买入信号
- 死叉（MACD向下穿越信号线）= 卖出信号
4. **用直方图确认**
- 直方图增加 = 趋势加强
- 直方图减少 = 趋势减弱
#### 背离交易
1. **启用两个背离系统**
- 直方图背离（早期信号）
- MACD线背离（确认）
2. **等待背离信号**
- "H涨"或"H跌" = 早期警告
- "M涨"或"M跌" = 确认
3. **最佳背离**
- 直方图和MACD线都显示背离
- 在关键支撑/阻力水平的背离
- 同一趋势上多个背离
4. **入场时机**
- 等待价格结构突破
- 确认后回调时进入
- 使用MACD交叉作为触发
#### 多时间框架分析
1. **设置更高时间框架**
- 示例：在1小时图上显示4小时MACD
- 取消勾选"使用当前图表周期"
- 选择所需时间框架
2. **识别更高TF趋势**
- MACD相对于零线的位置
- MACD与信号线的关系
3. **顺HTF方向交易**
- 仅在HTF MACD看涨时接受多头信号
- 仅在HTF MACD看跌时接受空头信号
4. **使用当前TF入场**
- 更高TF确定偏向
- 当前TF精确定时
#### 直方图分析
1. **启用4色直方图**
- 观察颜色转换
- 深色 = 强动量
- 浅色 = 动量减弱
2. **动量阶段**
- 深绿色→浅绿色 = 看涨失去动力
- 浅红色→深红色 = 看跌获得力量
3. **交易转换**
- 浅绿色到浅红色 = 动量转变（潜在反转）
- 确认交叉时入场

### 性能提示
- 从默认设置开始（13/34/9 EMA/EMA）
- 一次测试一个背离系统
- 初始使用同符号要求
- 启用交叉标记以获得清晰信号
- 根据市场波动性调整回溯参数
- 更高时间框架MACD比更低的更可靠
