Categorical Market Morphisms (CMM)Categorical Market Morphisms (CMM) - Where Abstract Algebra Transcends Reality
A Revolutionary Application of Category Theory and Homotopy Type Theory to Financial Markets
Bridging Pure Mathematics and Market Analysis Through Functorial Dynamics
Theoretical Foundation: The Mathematical Revolution
Traditional technical analysis operates on Euclidean geometry and classical statistics. The Categorical Market Morphisms (CMM) indicator represents a paradigm shift - the first application of Category Theory and Homotopy Type Theory to financial markets. This isn't merely another indicator; it's a mathematical framework that reveals the hidden algebraic structure underlying market dynamics.
Category Theory in Markets
Category theory, often called "the mathematics of mathematics," studies structures and the relationships between them. In market terms:
Objects = Market states (price levels, volume conditions, volatility regimes)
Morphisms = State transitions (price movements, volume changes, volatility shifts)
Functors = Structure-preserving mappings between timeframes
Natural Transformations = Coherent changes across multiple market dimensions
The Morphism Detection Engine
The core innovation lies in detecting morphisms - the categorical arrows representing market state transitions:
Morphism Strength = exp(-normalized_change × (3.0 / sensitivity))
Threshold = 0.3 - (sensitivity - 1.0) × 0.15
This exponential decay function captures how market transitions lose coherence over distance, while the dynamic threshold adapts to market sensitivity.
Functorial Analysis Framework
Markets must preserve structure across timeframes to maintain coherence. Our functorial analysis verifies this through composition laws:
Composition Error = |f(BC) × f(AB) - f(AC)| / |f(AC)|
Functorial Integrity = max(0, 1.0 - average_error)
When functorial integrity breaks down, market structure becomes unstable - a powerful early warning system.
Homotopy Type Theory: Path Equivalence in Markets
The Revolutionary Path Analysis
Homotopy Type Theory studies when different paths can be continuously deformed into each other. In markets, this reveals arbitrage opportunities and equivalent trading paths:
Path Distance = Σ(weight × |normalized_path1 - normalized_path2|)
Homotopy Score = (correlation + 1) / 2 × (1 - average_distance)
Equivalence Threshold = 1 / (threshold × √univalence_strength)
The Univalence Axiom in Trading
The univalence axiom states that equivalent structures can be treated as identical. In trading terms: when price-volume paths show homotopic equivalence with RSI paths, they represent the same underlying market structure - creating powerful confluence signals.
Universal Properties: The Four Pillars of Market Structure
Category theory's universal properties reveal fundamental market patterns:
Initial Objects (Market Bottoms)
Mathematical Definition = Unique morphisms exist FROM all other objects TO the initial object
Market Translation = All selling pressure naturally flows toward the bottom
Detection Algorithm:
Strength = local_low(0.3) + oversold(0.2) + volume_surge(0.2) + momentum_reversal(0.2) + morphism_flow(0.1)
Signal = strength > 0.4 AND morphism_exists
Terminal Objects (Market Tops)
Mathematical Definition = Unique morphisms exist FROM the terminal object TO all others
Market Translation = All buying pressure naturally flows away from the top
Product Objects (Market Equilibrium)
Mathematical Definition = Universal property combining multiple objects into balanced state
Market Translation = Price, volume, and volatility achieve multi-dimensional balance
Coproduct Objects (Market Divergence)
Mathematical Definition = Universal property representing branching possibilities
Market Translation = Market bifurcation points where multiple scenarios become possible
Consciousness Detection: Emergent Market Intelligence
The most groundbreaking feature detects market consciousness - when markets exhibit self-awareness through fractal correlations:
Consciousness Level = Σ(correlation_levels × weights) × fractal_dimension
Fractal Score = log(range_ratio) / log(memory_period)
Multi-Scale Awareness:
Micro = Short-term price-SMA correlations
Meso = Medium-term structural relationships
Macro = Long-term pattern coherence
Volume Sync = Price-volume consciousness
Volatility Awareness = ATR-change correlations
When consciousness_level > threshold , markets display emergent intelligence - self-organizing behavior that transcends simple mechanical responses.

Development Journey: Mathematical Innovation
The Challenge
Traditional indicators operate on classical mathematics - moving averages, oscillators, and pattern recognition. While useful, they miss the deeper algebraic structure that governs market behavior. Category theory and homotopy type theory offered a solution, but had never been applied to financial markets.
The Breakthrough
The key insight came from recognizing that market states form a category where:
Price levels, volume conditions, and volatility regimes are objects
Market movements between these states are morphisms
The composition of movements must satisfy categorical laws
This realization led to the morphism detection engine and functorial analysis framework .

The Daily Profiler v2.0This indicator serves as a multi-faceted analysis tool for TradingView, geared towards day traders who need context based on daily cycles and key price levels, especially in markets like futures that follow the NY trading schedule (18:00 ET daily reset).
Core Functionality Breakdown:
Session & Opening Range Analysis:
It defines and visually demarcates four key trading sessions: Asia (ASN: 1800-0230), London (LDN: 0230-0730), NY1 (0730-1130), and NY2 (1130-1615), using the "America/New_York" timezone.
For each session, it identifies an "Opening Range" (OR) period (e.g., 1800-1930 for ASN).
Users can opt to display background boxes for the full sessions and/or the OR periods.
It plots horizontal lines marking the High and Low reached during each session and OR period.
Crucially, it calculates the midpoint of each Opening Range (the "O/U" or Over/Under line) and tracks whether subsequent price action "breaks" this level, updating line styles and status information accordingly.
Key Price Level Plotting:
Previous Day Context: Plots the High (PDH), Low (PDL), and Midpoint (PDM) of the previous trading day, providing immediate reference points.
Daily Anchor Points: Draws lines for the Globex Open (18:00 ET start), the previous day's Settlement price, and the Midnight Open (00:00 ET), offering insight into key daily cycle starting points.
P12 Session (18:00-06:00): Tracks this overnight period and, after 06:00 ET, projects extended lines for its High, Low, and Midpoint.
High/Low of Day (HOD/LOD) Features:
Actual Tracking: Identifies and marks the actual HOD and LOD achieved during the main trading day (18:00-16:15 window) with labels showing the price, time occurred, and percentage move from the open.
User Projections: Allows users to configure multiple sets of potential HOD/LOD target zones (categorized as Long/True, Long/False, Short/True, Short/False). These are defined by specific time windows and percentage ranges from the daily open, displayed as colored projection boxes.
Statistical Projections:
ADR/MDR: Calculates the Average Daily Range (ADR) or Median Daily Range (MDR) over a user-set lookback period. It then plots projected High/Low levels for the current day based on adding/subtracting half this range value from the daily open price.
ASN OR Standard Deviations: Uses the range of the Asian session's OR to calculate and plot standard deviation levels (+/- 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 8.0). These lines appear after the ASN OR concludes and change appearance if price crosses them.
09:30 NY Open Focus:
Provides specific analysis for the 09:30 ET 1-minute candle, often significant for US equity index futures.
Draws a box around this candle's range, optionally recoloring the bar, and draws internal percentage levels (25/50/75%) and minor offset lines for the subsequent 15 minutes.
Informational Tables:
Model Table: Summarizes the OR breakout dynamics for each session, indicating the initial break direction (Long/Short), whether the session maintained that direction without breaking the opposite side (True/False), and whether the OR midpoint was later broken (Broken/None).
Distribution Table: Presents range and percentage statistics for each session (and the 0930-1000 window). It shows the current day's values alongside historical Average or Median values, which can be filtered by day of the week or shown as a weekly total.
Customization & Management:
Offers extensive inputs to toggle nearly every visual element and feature.
Allows detailed customization of colors, line styles/widths, label content/size, and table appearance/position.
Incorporates logic to clean up drawings from the previous day at the 18:00 ET reset, ensuring chart clarity.

Dynamic Block Management : Implements automatic block tracking, extension, and cleanup to maintain a clean and relevant chart display without manual intervention.
Institutional Focus : Designed specifically to highlight areas where smart money has likely positioned, helping retail traders align with institutional perspectives rather than retail noise.
🔬 How It Works
1. Structure Identification Process :
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify significant swing points and structure levels within the specified range, establishing a foundation for order block recognition.
2. Break Detection :
When price breaks an established structure level (crossing below a significant low for bearish breaks or above a significant high for bullish breaks), the indicator marks this as a potential zone for order block formation.
3. Volume Qualification :
For each potential order block, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only blocks formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed.
4. Block Creation and Management :
Valid order blocks are created, tracked, and managed as price continues to develop. Blocks extend to the right of the chart until they are either mitigated by price action or expire after the designated timeframe.
5. Continuous Monitoring :
The indicator constantly evaluates price interaction with existing blocks, determining when blocks have been tested, mitigated, or invalidated, and updates the visual representation accordingly.
💡 Note:
Order Blocks represent areas where institutional traders have likely established positions and may defend these zones during future price visits. For optimal results, use this indicator in conjunction with other confluent factors such as key support/resistance levels, trendlines, or additional confirmation indicators. The most reliable signals typically occur on higher timeframes where institutional activity is most prominent. Start with the default settings and adjust parameters gradually to match your specific trading instrument and style.

By highlighting these key areas, traders can identify potential zones for reversals, continuations, and price targets.
The indicator employs volume filtering ideology to highlight only the most significant FVGs, reducing noise and focusing on gaps formed during periods of higher relative volume. This combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability areas of interest that institutional smart money may target during future price movements.
🚀 Points of Innovation

✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential reversal zones where price may react after extended moves
Finding precise targets for take-profit placement in trend-following strategies
Detecting institutional interest areas for potential breakout or breakdown confirmations
Plotting significant support and resistance zones based on structural imbalances
Developing fade strategies at key market structure points
Confirming trade entries when price approaches significant unfilled gaps
⚠️ Limitations
Works best on higher timeframes where gaps reflect more significant market inefficiencies
Very choppy or ranging markets may produce small gaps with limited predictive value
Volume filtering depends on accurate volume data, which may be less reliable for some symbols
Performance may be affected when displaying a very large number of historical gaps
Some gaps may never be fully mitigated, particularly in strongly trending markets
💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic FVG indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify the most significant structural imbalances, focusing on quality over quantity.
Visual Clarity Management : Automatic handling of mitigated gaps and memory management ensures your chart remains clean and informative even over extended analysis periods.
Dual-Direction Comprehensive Analysis : Simultaneously tracks both bullish and bearish gaps, providing a complete market structure picture rather than forcing a directional bias.
🔬 How It Works
1. Gap Detection Process :
The indicator examines each candle in relation to previous candles, identifying when a gap forms between the low of candle and high of candle (bearish FVG) or between the high of candle and low of candle (bullish FVG). This specific candle relationship identifies true structural imbalances.
2. Volume Qualification :
For each potential gap, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only gaps formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed, ensuring focus on institutionally significant imbalances.
3. Equilibrium Calculation :
For each qualified gap, the script calculates the precise mathematical midpoint, which becomes the equilibrium line - a key target that price often gravitates toward during mitigation attempts.
4. Mitigation Tracking :
The indicator continuously monitors price action against existing gaps, determining mitigation based on the selected method (wick or close). When price reaches the equilibrium point, the gap is considered mitigated and can be visually updated accordingly.
💡 Note:
Fair Value Gaps represent market inefficiencies that often, but not always, get filled. Use this indicator as part of a complete trading strategy rather than as a standalone system. The most valuable signals typically come from combining FVG analysis with other confirmatory indicators and overall market context. For optimal results, start with the default settings and gradually adjust parameters to match your specific trading timeframe and style.
ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

If the table shows a 30% value under "Tuesday" for "Weekly High," it means that in 30% of the weeks within the visible range, the highest price of the week occurred on a Tuesday.
Similarly, a 40% value under "Friday" for "Weekly Low" indicates that 40% of the weekly lows happened on a Friday.
Implied Volatility WallsThe Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) indicator is a powerful and advanced trading tool designed to help traders identify key market zones where price may encounter significant resistance or support based on volatility. Using implied volatility, historical volatility, and machine learning models, IVW provides traders with a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics. This indicator is especially useful for those who wish to forecast volatility-driven price movements and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
How the Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) Works:
The Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) indicator uses a combination of historical price data and advanced machine learning algorithms to calculate key volatility levels and forecast future market conditions. It tracks cumulative volatility, identifies support and resistance zones, and detects liquidation bubbles to highlight critical price areas.
The main concept behind this tool is that price tends to move most of the time by the same amount, making it possible to average the past maximum excursion in order to obtain a validated area where traders can be able to see clearly that the price is moving more than normal.
This indicator primarily focuses on:
1. Volatility Zones: Potential support and resistance levels based on implied and historical volatility.
2. Machine Learning Volatility Forecast: A machine learning model that predicts high, medium, or low volatility for future market conditions.
3. Liquidation Detection: Highlights key areas of potential forced liquidations, where market participants may be forced out of their positions, often leading to significant price movements.
4. Backtesting and Win Rate: The indicator continuously monitors how effective its volatility-based predictions are, offering insights into the performance of its predictions.
Key Features:
1. Volatility Tracking:
- The IVW indicator calculates cumulative volatility by analyzing the range between the high and low prices over time. It also tracks volatility percentiles and separates the market conditions into high, medium, or low volatility zones, enabling traders to gauge how volatile the market is.
2. Volatility Walls (Upper and Lower Zones):
- Upper Volatility Wall (Red Zones): Represent resistance levels where the price might encounter difficulty moving higher due to excess in volatility. This zone is calculated based on the chosen percentile in the settings.
- Lower Volatility Wall (Blue Zones): Represent support levels where price may find buying support.
- These walls help traders visualize potential zones where reversals or breakouts could occur based on volatility conditions.
3. Machine Learning Forecast:
- One of the standout features of the IVW indicator is its machine learning algorithm that estimates future volatility levels. It categorizes volatility into high, medium, and low based on recent data and provides forecasts on what the next market condition is likely to be.
- This forecast helps traders anticipate market conditions and adapt their strategies accordingly. It is displayed on the chart as "Exp. Vol", providing insight into the future expected volatility.
4. VIX Adjustments:
- The indicator can be adjusted using the well-known **VIX (Volatility Index)** to further refine its volatility predictions. This enables traders to incorporate market sentiment into their analysis, improving the accuracy of the predictions for different market conditions.
5. Liquidation Bubbles:
- The Liquidation Bubbles feature highlights areas where large forced selling or buying events may occur, which are usually accompanied by spikes in volatility and volume. These bubbles appear when price deviates significantly from moving averages with substantial volume increases, alerting traders to potential volatile moves.
- Red dots indicate likely forced liquidations on the upside, and blue dots indicate forced liquidations on the downside. These bubbles can help traders spot moments of market stress and potential price swings due to liquidations.
6. Dynamic Volatility Zones:
- IVW dynamically adjusts support and resistance levels as market conditions evolve. This allows traders to always have up-to-date and relevant information based on the latest volatility patterns.
7. Cumulative Volatility Histogram:
- At the bottom of the chart, the purple histogram represents cumulative volatility over time, giving traders a visual cue of whether volatility is building up or subsiding. This can provide early signals of market transitions from low to high volatility, aiding traders in timing their entries and exits more accurately.
8. Backtesting and Win Rate:
- The IVW indicator includes a backtesting function that monitors the success of its volatility predictions over a selected period. It shows a Win Rate (WR) percentage (with 33% meaning that the machine learning algorithm does not bring any edge), representing how often the indicator's predictions were correct. This metric is crucial for assessing the reliability of the model’s forecasts.
9. Opening Range:
- At the beginning of a new session, the indicator will plot two lines indicating the high and the low of the first candle of the new time frame chosen.
Chart Breakdown:
Below is a description of what users see when using the Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) indicator on the chart:
Volatility Walls:
- Red shaded zones at the top represent upper volatility walls (resistance zones), while blue shaded zones at the bottom represent lower volatility walls (support zones). These areas show where price is likely to react due to high or low volatility conditions.
Liquidation Bubbles:
- Red and blue dots plotted above and below the price represent **liquidation bubbles**, indicating moments of market stress where volatility and volume spikes may force market participants to exit positions.
Cumulative Volatility Histogram:
- The purple histogram at the bottom of the chart reflects the buildup of cumulative volatility over time. Higher bars suggest increased volatility, signaling the potential for large price movements, while smaller bars represent calmer market conditions.
Real-Time Support and Resistance Levels:
- Solid and dashed lines represent current and historical support and resistance levels, helping traders identify price zones that have historically acted as volatility-driven turning points.
Gradient Bar Colors:
- The price bars change color based on their proximity to the volatility walls, with different colors representing how close the price is to these key levels. This color gradient provides a quick visual cue of potential market turning points.
Data Tables Explained:
Table 1: **Volatility Information Table (Top Right Corner):
- EV: Expected Volatility (based on the VIX FIX calculation from Larry Williams).
- +V and -V: Represents the adjusted volatility for upward (+V) and downward (-V) movements.
- Exp. Vol: Shows the expected volatility condition for the next period (High, Medium, or Low) based on the machine learning algorithm.
- WR: The Win Rate based on the backtesting of previous volatility predictions (three outcomes, so base Win rate is 33%, and not 50%).
Table 2: Expected Cumulative Range (Top Right Corner of the separated pane):
- Exp. CR: Expected Cumulative Range based on a machine learning algorithm that calculate the most likely outcome (cumulative range) based on the past days and metrics.
How to Use the Indicator:
1. Identify Key Support and Resistance Levels:
- Use the upper (red) and lower (blue) volatility walls to identify zones where the price is likely to face resistance or support due to volatility dynamics.
2. Forecast Future Volatility:
- Pay attention to the Expected Vol field in the table to understand whether the machine learning model predicts high, medium, or low volatility for the next trading session.
3. Monitor Liquidation Bubbles:
- Watch for red and blue bubbles as they can signal significant market events where volatility and volume spikes may lead to sudden price reversals or continuations.
4. Use the Histogram to Gauge Market Conditions:
- The cumulative volatility histogram shows whether the market is entering a high or low volatility phase, helping you adjust your risk accordingly and making you able to identify the potential of the rest of the chosen session.
5. Backtesting Confidence:
- The Win Rate (WR) provides insight into how reliable the indicator’s predictions have been over the backtested period, giving you additional confidence in its future forecasts, remember that considering the 3 scenarios possible (high volatility, medium and low volatility), the standard win rate is 33%, and not 50%!.
Final Notes:
The Implied Volatility Walls (IVW) indicator is a powerful tool for volatility-based analysis, providing traders with real-time data on potential support and resistance levels, liquidation bubbles, and future market conditions. By leveraging a machine learning model for volatility forecasting, this tool helps traders stay ahead of the market’s volatility patterns and make informed decisions.

EMA14 Second Time BUY/SELL AlertsEMA14 Crossover Strategy with Conditional BUY/SELL Alerts
This powerful script provides dynamic BUY and SELL alerts based on the interaction between price action and the EMA14 (Exponential Moving Average 14). Ideal for traders looking to capitalize on trend reversals and breakout patterns, this indicator helps you time entries and exits with precision.
Key Features:
Second-Time Crossover Alerts: The script tracks when the price crosses the EMA14 for the second time. This adds confirmation to price movements and helps filter out false signals.
Conditional BUY/SELL Alerts:
BUY Alert: Triggered when the price closes above the EMA14 after a previous SELL signal, indicating a potential trend reversal or breakout to the upside.
SELL Alert: Triggered when the price closes below the EMA14 after a previous BUY signal, signaling a possible shift to the downside.
Advanced Crossover Tracking:
The script counts each crossover of the price relative to the EMA14, generating a BUY or SELL signal on the second instance to provide additional confirmation of trend strength.
Visual Alerts: Labels are plotted directly on the chart to highlight when a BUY or SELL signal has occurred, providing immediate visual feedback for traders to react in real-time.
How It Works:
The script combines the simplicity of EMA14 with enhanced logic that tracks both crossovers and closes relative to the moving average. This ensures that the signals are based not only on quick movements but also on price confirmation, reducing noise and false breakouts.
This script is perfect for traders who rely on moving average strategies and want additional filtering to confirm trends and optimize trade timing.
Smart Gap Projection MTF Smart Gap Projection MTF
## Brief Description
Professional indicator for projecting US Dollar Index (DXY) gaps onto the traded instrument with multi-timeframe analysis support and advanced visualization.
---
## Originality and Uniqueness
**Smart Gap Projection MTF** is a unique development that solves the specific task of correlation analysis between the Dollar Index (DXY) and currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, or other dollar-dependent assets.
### What makes this indicator original:
1. **Inter-market gap projection** - the indicator doesn't just display gaps on the current instrument, but projects gaps from the DXY index onto your asset's chart, creating unique trading levels
2. **Dual confirmation system** - uses a mechanism of waiting N candles after a gap appears on DXY to filter false signals
3. **Intelligent lifecycle tracking** - each projected level is tracked until price touch or gap closure on DXY, with automatic visualization changes
4. **Multi-Timeframe extension** - ability to simultaneously display gaps from a lower timeframe of the current instrument to identify intraday opportunities
5. **Adaptive visualization (Heatmap)** - line intensity and width automatically change depending on gap size, helping to visually identify the most significant levels
---
## How the Indicator Works
### Core Operating Principle
The indicator analyzes the US Dollar Index (DXY) price movement in real-time and identifies gaps (price breaks) between candle closes and opens. When a gap forms on DXY, the indicator:
1. **Determines gap type** - bullish (price opened above previous close) or bearish (price opened below)
2. **Checks gap size** - filters insignificant gaps by absolute size (in points) and percentage value
3. **Waits for confirmation** - after detecting a gap, the indicator waits for a specified number of candles (default 3) to confirm that the gap didn't close immediately
4. **Projects the level** - after confirmation, a horizontal line is drawn on the current instrument's chart at the High level (for bullish DXY gap) or Low level (for bearish DXY gap) of the candle where the gap formed
5. **Tracks status** - the indicator continuously monitors:
- Price touching the projected level (line becomes more transparent)
- Gap closure on DXY itself (line changes color to orange)
### Conceptual Foundation
The methodology is based on the observation that:
- Gaps on the Dollar Index often lead to synchronous movements on correlated assets
- Price levels at the moment of DXY gap formation become price magnets
- Gap closure on DXY often coincides with trend reversal on dependent instruments
---

HD Trades📊 ICT Confluence Toolkit (FVG, OB, SMT)
This All-in-One indicator is designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders, providing visual confirmation and signaling for three critical Inner Circle Trader (ICT) tools directly on your chart: Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Order Blocks (OB), and Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence.
It eliminates the need to load multiple indicators, streamlining your analysis for high-probability setups.
🔑 Key Features
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatic Detection: Instantly highlights bullish (buy-side) and bearish (sell-side) imbalances using the standard three-candle pattern.
Real-Time Mitigation: Gaps are drawn until price trades into the FVG zone, at which point the indicator automatically "mitigates" and removes the box, ensuring your chart stays clean.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Impulse-Based Logic: Identifies valid Order Blocks (the last opposing candle) confirmed by a strong, structure-breaking impulse move, quantified using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier for dynamic sensitivity.
Mitigation Tracking: Bullish OBs are tracked until broken below the low, and Bearish OBs until broken above the high, distinguishing between active supply/demand zones.
3. SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique)
Multi-Asset Comparison: Utilizes the Pine Script request.security() function to compare the swing structure of the current chart against a correlated asset (e.g., EURUSD vs. GBPUSD, or ES vs. NQ).
Signal Labels: Plots clear 🐂 SMT (Bullish) or 🐻 SMT (Bearish) labels directly on the chart when a divergence in market extremes is detected, signaling a potential reversal or continuation based on internal market weakness.
⚙️ Customization
All three components are toggleable and feature customizable colors and lookback periods, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your specific trading strategy and preferred timeframes.
Crucial Setup: For SMT Divergence to function, you must enter a correlated symbol (e.g., NQ1!, ES1!, or a related Forex pair) in the indicator settings.

MACD Divergence Optimizer# MACD Divergence Optimizer - User Guide
## Overview
The **MACD Divergence Optimizer** is a professional-grade technical analysis indicator for TradingView that automatically detects hidden divergences on MACD with volume weighting. It identifies potential reversal points before price action confirms the move, giving traders an early edge.
---
## What is Divergence?
A **divergence** occurs when price and an oscillator (like MACD) move in opposite directions:
- **Bullish Divergence**: Price makes a lower low, but MACD makes a higher low → Potential uptrend reversal
- **Bearish Divergence**: Price makes a higher high, but MACD makes a lower high → Potential downtrend reversal
Divergences are among the most reliable reversal signals in technical analysis.
---
## Indicator Features
### Volume-Weighted MACD
- Standard MACD is calculated on closing price
- This indicator uses **volume-weighted closing prices** for greater accuracy
- Formula: MACD = (Volume-Weighted EMA₁₂ - Volume-Weighted EMA₂₆)
- Volume weighting gives more importance to high-conviction price moves
### Automatic Swing Detection
- Detects local highs and lows (5-bar lookback)
- Tracks the last 5 swings for divergence analysis
- Only meaningful swings are tracked (filtered for noise)
### Smart Signal Generation
- Green triangle (▲) = Bullish Divergence (BUY signal)
- Red triangle (▼) = Bearish Divergence (SELL signal)
- Triangles appear directly on the MACD line for precise entry timing
### Built-in Alerts
- Real-time notifications for divergence signals
- Alerts can trigger mobile push notifications or sound
- Never miss a trading opportunity
---
## How to Use
### Installation
1. Open TradingView and navigate to the Chart
2. Click "Indicator" → Search "MACD Divergence Optimizer"
3. Click "Add to Chart"
4. The indicator appears in a separate panel below the price chart
### Reading the Indicator
**MACD Panel displays:**
- **Blue Line** = MACD (fast momentum)
- **Orange Line** = Signal line (slow momentum)
- **Histogram** (colored bars) = Difference between MACD and Signal
- Green bars = MACD above signal (bullish)
- Red bars = MACD below signal (bearish)
**Divergence Signals:**
- **Green Triangle ▲** = Bullish divergence detected
- Price is lower, but MACD momentum is strengthening
- Look for uptrend reversal
- Confirm with higher closes or volume
- **Red Triangle ▼** = Bearish divergence detected
- Price is higher, but MACD momentum is weakening
- Look for downtrend reversal
- Confirm with lower closes or selling volume
---
## Parameters & Settings
### MACD Fast Length (Default: 12)
- Controls the faster moving average period
- **Lower values** → More responsive, more false signals
- **Higher values** → Smoother, fewer signals
- **Typical range**: 8-15
### MACD Slow Length (Default: 26)
- Controls the slower moving average period
- **Lower values** → Faster divergence detection
- **Higher values** → More reliable, fewer signals
- **Typical range**: 20-35
### Signal Smoothing (Default: 9)
- EMA period applied to MACD itself
- **Lower values** → Faster crossover signals
- **Higher values** → Fewer false crossovers
- **Typical range**: 5-15
### Min Divergence Strength (Default: 0.5%)
- Minimum % difference between current MACD and swing MACD
- **Lower values** → More divergence signals (noisier)
- **Higher values** → Only strong divergences (fewer signals)
- **Recommended**: 0.3% - 1.0%
### Lookback Bars (Default: 75)
- Historical window for analysis
- Larger lookback = more context but slower calculation
- **Typical range**: 50-100
---
## Trading Strategy
### Bullish Divergence (Entry Setup)
1. **Identify Signal**: Green triangle appears on MACD
2. **Confirm Price**: Look for price rejection of the low (bounce)
3. **Volume Check**: Buy on increase in volume at the bounce
4. **Entry**: Above the swing low level
5. **Stop Loss**: Below the most recent swing low
6. **Target**: Next swing high or resistance level
### Bearish Divergence (Entry Setup)
1. **Identify Signal**: Red triangle appears on MACD
2. **Confirm Price**: Look for price rejection of the high
3. **Volume Check**: Sell on increase in volume at rejection
4. **Entry**: Below the swing high level
5. **Stop Loss**: Above the most recent swing high
6. **Target**: Next swing low or support level

## Timeframe Recommendations
| Timeframe | Best For | Signal Quality |
|-----------|----------|---|
| **1H** | Scalping, day trading | Moderate (some noise) |
| **4H** | Swing trading | Excellent |
| **Daily** | Position trading | Excellent |
| **Weekly** | Long-term trends | Excellent |
---
## Tips & Best Practices
### ✅ DO:
- **Use on trends**: Divergences work best when there's a clear trend
- **Combine signals**: Look for confirmation from price action, volume, or moving averages
- **Trade the bounce**: Wait for price to react to the swing, then enter
- **Adjust parameters**: Test different MACD lengths for your trading style
- **Use alerts**: Set up mobile alerts so you don't miss signals
### ❌ DON'T:
- **Trade every signal**: Some signals are stronger than others
- **Trade flat/choppy markets**: Divergences fail in ranging markets
- **Ignore support/resistance**: Trade divergences near key levels for best results
- **Over-leverage**: Divergences are probabilistic, not guaranteed
- **Disable volume analysis**: Always check volume when divergence fires
---
## Advanced Features
### Volume Weighting
The indicator uses **volume-weighted MACD** instead of standard MACD. This means:
- High-volume reversals get more emphasis
- Low-volume moves are smoothed out
- More accurate momentum readings
- Better at identifying true trend changes
### Array Tracking
The indicator tracks the last 5 swings in arrays:
- `swingLows ` = last 5 price lows
- `swingHighs ` = last 5 price highs
- `swingMacds ` = corresponding MACD values
This allows detection of **hidden divergences** not visible in traditional analysis.
---
## Common Questions
**Q: Why didn't the indicator trigger a signal when I see a divergence?**
A: The indicator may require:
- MACD histogram to cross the zero line (confirms momentum shift)
- Minimum strength threshold to be met (adjust Min Divergence Strength)
- At least 5 swings to be recorded in the lookback window
**Q: Can I use this on all timeframes?**
A: Yes, but divergences are more reliable on higher timeframes (4H+). Lower timeframes produce more signals but with more noise.
**Q: Should I trade every green/red triangle?**
A: No. Use them as a heads-up for potential reversals. Always confirm with:
- Price action (rejection of the swing)
- Volume (increasing volume at reversal)
- Key support/resistance levels
**Q: How do I set alerts?**
A:
1. Right-click the indicator → Edit Alerts
2. Check "Bullish Divergence" and/or "Bearish Divergence"
3. Choose notification type (browser, mobile, email)
4. Set frequency to "Once per bar close"
**Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence?**
A: This indicator detects **hidden divergences** (also called continuation divergences):
- **Regular**: Price makes new extreme, but oscillator doesn't
- **Hidden**: Price makes new extreme, oscillator makes new extreme in different direction
- Hidden divergences are often more reliable for continuation plays

Enhanced Oversold | 超跌信号 + 历史统计 + 模拟入出场 (v2.4)Enhanced Oversold | Oversold Signal + Historical Stats + Simulated Entries/Exits (v2.4) – Release Notes (EN)
1. Overview
This script is an advanced “buy-the-dip” toolkit for US stocks and ETFs. It detects rare, deep intraday selloffs on fundamentally strong names, then simulates a three-tier entry strategy around the event and tracks different exit paths.
The goal is to answer three questions:
* When did similar crashes happen in the past?
* How would a disciplined laddered entry have performed?
* How long did it take for price to recover under different exit rules?
2. Core idea
* Define an 8-hour “crash” relative to a robust reference price yBase = min(previous-day VWAP, previous close).
* Combine this with short-term RSI and 15m Z-score filters to avoid “random noise” dips.
* Filter out regime-level risk (index / sector crash, volatility spikes, liquidity stress, bad long-term trend).
* When a valid oversold event appears, simulate staged entries (E1/E2/E3) and exits, then record everything into a historical table and JSON for external analysis.
3. Signal logic (summary)
* Timeframe: designed for 15m / 5m charts, using US RTH session 09:30–16:00.
* Crash trigger (must all be true):
* 8h drawdown from yBase ≤ fixed threshold (default −6%) and the 8h low is recent within N×15m bars.
* RSI(1h) below an oversold level (default < 30).
* 15m return Z-score ≤ threshold (default ≤ −1.5) over a configurable window.
* Optional filters:
* Circuit breaker: SPY + sector ETF + VIX/VIX3M + VVIX conditions to avoid market-wide panic regimes.
* Liquidity stress: SPY 1h “stress index” (ATR/price, intraday range vs volume, and VIX Z-score) normalised to 0–100, with a user threshold.
* Shape filter: only accept “A-type” healthy long-term trend set-ups (6m / 12m performance vs VWAP/EMA and daily 200SMA slope).
4. Simulated entries (E1 / E2 / E3)
* E1: first ladder price anchored to the first RTH after the event, with optional “same-day RTH” entry if the event happens during RTH.
* E2: only becomes valid from the next RTH day onward, and only if the new RTH low breaks the E1-execution-day low. The target depth is based on E1 discount × (1+α).
* E3: only after E2, on a different day (not the E1 “anchor” day). Depth is based on the max discount of E1/E2 × (1+β).
* Stair and cap rules:
* A minimum tick step between ladders, adjustable in ticks.
* Optional cap so that every entry price must be below a multiple of the event price.
* Optional “chase on first RTH bar”: if nothing fills on the first RTH bar, prices can be lifted once toward the intraday low, while keeping ladder spacing and cap constraints.
* All actual fills are simulated against bar lows. The script records:
* Whether E1/E2/E3 filled.
* Actual execution prices.
* Average entry price and the entry sequence string (e.g. “13”, “123”).
5. Exit logic and timing metrics
Two exit rules are tracked in parallel:
* Exit Ref: exit when close returns to yBase.
* Exit Open+Y%: exit when close reaches min(event close, first post-event open) × (1+Y%).
For each event the script records:
* t_ref_d: days from event to first touch of yBase.
* tY_d: days until Open+Y% level is reached.
* tUp_d: days until price turns “bullish again” (RTH VWAP ≥ previous daily VWAP and close > previous close).
* tLow_d: days until the minimum price between event and t_ref (or end of window) is reached.
* lowToRef: that minimum price.
* ddMinPct: maximum drawdown (in %) from average entry to lowToRef.
Additional intraday stats for the first RTH after the event:
* dayFirstLow: low of the first RTH bar from the chosen statistics start.
* rthLow: overall RTH low of that day.
* eqFirst: whether the overall low equals the first-bar low.
* postDipAvg: average close after the daily low is formed (equal-weighted).
6. Historical table on chart
* The on-chart table shows up to maxRows events, most recent first.
* Columns include:
* Date, 8h drawdown, yBase, stress, circuit conditions, shape (A/B/C).
* Entry sequence and actual execution prices.
* Average entry price.
* Exit prices and PnL (in % and absolute) for both exit modes.
* Timing metrics (t_ref, tY, tUp, tLow).
* Min price to t_ref, max drawdown vs average entry.
* First RTH low, day RTH low, equality flag, post-dip average, and market flag (US/HK).
The table is only redrawn on bar close to reduce CPU load.
7. Liquidity stress pane
* Optional lower pane that plots the SPY-based liquidity stress index (0–100).
* Components (all on 60m SPY/VIX data):
* rvZ: Z-score of ATR/price.
* rpvZ: Z-score of intraday range divided by volume.
* vixZ: Z-score of VIX.
* Stress index = 50 + 10 × (rvZ + rpvZ + vixZ), clipped to .
* A horizontal line marks the current filter threshold.
8. Webhook JSON outputs
The indicator can send three types of alerts via alert():
* Signal
* Emitted only when a new oversold event fires.
* Contains ticker, market flag, event time, drop8h, RSI1h, Z15, yBase, shape, circuit reason, and stress.
* History
* Emitted when requested, containing a full snapshot of the latest event:
* All key metrics used in the table, including absolute PnL for both exit modes, timing metrics, drawdown stats, and post-dip averages.
* HistoryAll
* Compressed bulk export of all events as a compact JSON object:
* Short keys (d, dr8, yb, st, c, sh, e, px, avg, xr, pr, absR, xy, py, absY, tr, ty, tu, tl, l2r, dd, fl, rl, eq, pavg).
* Numbers rounded to 3 decimals to reduce payload size.
* Because TradingView enforces a payload size limit, HistoryAll is automatically split into multiple chunks (up to ~3200 characters each).
* When HistoryAll is selected and a manual “dump all” flag is turned on, the script will emit multiple alerts on the same bar until all chunks are sent.
9. What is new in v2.3
Compared with previous versions, v2.3 adds:
* Deeper risk metrics:
* Tracking of the minimum price until recovery (lowToRef) and its timing (tLow_d).
* Max drawdown vs average entry (ddMinPct) for each event.
* E1-execution-day RTH low tracking, used to decide whether later days truly “make a new low” before adding E2.
* Absolute PnL fields:
* absRef and absOY for both exit modes, calculated using user-defined share/contract sizes for E1/E2/E3.
* More compact and robust HistoryAll:
* Short-key JSON objects, 3-decimal numeric formatting, chunked output suitable for 3rd-party storage and analysis.
* Performance optimisations:
* Array length normalisation is done once per bar instead of inside the per-event loop.
* Table rendering only happens on bar close, and no longer clears the whole grid every bar.
* Same-day RTH pricing for event-day entries is restricted to the latest event only, reducing redundant work on historical events.
10. Usage notes and disclaimer
* Recommended canvas: 15m or 5m chart, US stocks / ETFs, with RTH session set to 09:30–16:00.
* For stable operation on TradingView’s servers, avoid extremely large lookback windows and oversized history tables if your symbol has very long history.
* This script is for educational and research purposes only.
* It is not financial advice and does not guarantee profitability. Always combine it with your own risk management, fundamental research, and market context.
Mickey's Breaker Engine⚡ Breaker Engine | Auto Retest + Smart R:R Targets
A precision-grade breaker-block detection system built for traders who live and breathe clean structure.
This indicator automatically detects Breaker Candles, confirms them, marks their zones, and executes intelligent retest-based entry logic — complete with Stop-Loss and Risk-to-Reward (R:R) tracking up to 3R (or any custom ratio).
🧠 Core Concept
A Breaker Block is a structural shift where price violates liquidity from a failed order block and flips the zone’s polarity — turning a former supply into demand (or vice-versa).
This script identifies those setups automatically, confirms them only after a valid structure break, and waits for a clean retest to trigger a trade signal.
🚀 Key Features
⚙️ Smart Zone Detection
Detects both Bullish Breakers and Bearish Breakers.
Zones are drawn precisely using the breaker’s middle candle body (or full wick range if enabled).
Fully configurable transparency, width, and extension for better visual context.
🎯 Auto Retest Entry Logic
Entry triggers only on a clean retest, not on immediate breakout.
Includes logical filters to ensure retests are structurally valid and not overlapping candles.
Works in any timeframe or market — crypto, forex, indices, or commodities.
💡 Dynamic Risk–Reward Tracking
Automatically plots 1R, 2R, 3R, ...R targets based on your defined stop range.
Risk is calculated from entry to zone boundary or ATR offset.
Each target label appears precisely when hit.
Targets automatically stop updating once Stop-Loss is triggered.
🧱 Visual Clarity
BUY 🟢 / SELL 🔴 bubbles at entries.
SL ❌ marker when stop is hit.
🎯 1R / 2R / 3R labels dynamically plotted when each reward level is reached.
Non-overlapping placement using ATR-based spacing.
⚡ Real-Time Alerts - Instant alerts for:
✅ “Breaker BUY” – Clean retest confirmed (Long setup)
✅ “Breaker SELL” – Clean retest confirmed (Short setup)
❌ “Breaker BUY SL” – Stop hit for Long
❌ “Breaker SELL SL” – Stop hit for Short
🧩 Customization Panel
| Setting | Description |
| :-------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **ATR Length** | Controls volatility-based offset sizing. |
| **Entry / SL Offset × ATR** | Adjusts label spacing and dynamic positioning. |
| **Risk-Reward Ratio** | Define default R:R (e.g. 1:3). |
| **Multiple Retests** | Enable if you want the same breaker zone to allow multiple retests/entries. |
| **Banner Design** | Control opacity, extension, and wick usage for the breaker block visualization. |
| **Color Controls** | Choose your BUY/SELL/SL bubble colors to match your chart theme. |
⚙️ Underlying Logic (At a Glance)
Pattern Detection:
Identifies a 5-bar sequence that forms a valid Breaker Candle (the middle bar flips structure).
Confirmation:
Requires a follow-through candle to validate a real liquidity break.
Zone Registration:
Stores the breaker zone’s body range in arrays for tracking.
Clean Retest Entry:
Waits for price to retest the zone from the opposite side and close cleanly inside.
Stop Loss / Target Projection:
Defines stop loss just beyond the zone and plots up to 3 × reward targets dynamically.
Monitoring & Alerts:
Tracks each setup independently until either an R-target or SL is reached.
💬 Recommended Usage
Works best with market-structure traders, smart-money concepts, or liquidity-based systems.
Combine it with an external displacement confirmation or BOS/CHOCH tool for best precision.
Ideal for backtesting breaker-based R:R consistency or forward-testing retest entries.
Compatible with any asset / timeframe.

BTC CME Gaps Detector [SwissAlgo]BTC CME Gaps Detector
Track Unfilled Gaps & Identify Price Magnets
------------------------------------------------------
Overview
The BTC CME Gap Detector identifies and tracks unfilled price gaps on any timeframe (1-minute recommended for scalping) to gauge potential trading bias.
Verify Gap Behavior Yourself : Use TradingView's Replay Mode on the 1-Minute chart to observe how the price interacts with gaps. Load the BTC1! ticker (Bitcoin CME Futures), enable Replay Mode, and play forward through time (for example: go back 15 days). You may observe patterns such as price frequently returning to fill gaps, nearest gaps acting as near-term targets, and gaps serving as potential support/resistance zones. Some gaps may fill quickly, while others may remain open for longer periods. This hands-on analysis lets you independently assess how gaps may influence price movement in real market conditions and whether you may use this indicator as a complement to your trading analysis.
------------------------------------------------------
Purpose
Price gaps occur when there is a discontinuity between consecutive candles - when the current candle's low is above the previous candle's high (gap up), or when the current candle's high is below the previous candle's low (gap down).
This indicator identifies and tracks these gaps on any timeframe to help traders:
Identify gap zones that may attract price (potential "price magnets")
Monitor gap fill progression
Assess potential directional bias based on nearest unfilled gaps (long, short)
Analyze market structure and liquidity imbalances
------------------------------------------------------
Why Use This Indicator?
Universal Gap Detection : Identifies all gaps on any timeframe (1-minute, hourly, daily, etc.)
Multi-Candle Mitigation Tracking : Detects gap fills that occur across multiple candles
Distance Analysis : Shows percentage distance to nearest bullish and bearish gaps
Visual Representation : Color-coded boxes indicate gap status (active vs. mitigated)
Age Filtering : Option to display only gaps within specified time periods (3/6/12/24 months), as older gaps may lose relevance
ATR-Based Sizing : Minimum gap size adjusts to instrument volatility to filter noise (i.e. small gaps)
------------------------------------------------------
Trading Concept
Gaps represent price zones where no trading occurred. Historical market behavior suggests that unfilled gaps may attract price action as markets tend to revisit areas of incomplete price discovery. This phenomenon creates potential trading opportunities:
Bullish gaps (above current price) may act as upside targets where the price could move to fill the gap
Bearish gaps (below current price) may act as downside targets where price could move to fill the gap
The nearest gap often provides directional bias, as closer gaps may have a higher probability of being filled in the near term
This indicator helps quantify gap proximity and provides a visual reference for these potential target zones.
EXAMPLE
Step 1: Bearish Gaps Appear Below Price
Step 2: Price Getting Close to Fill Gap
Step 3: Gap Mitigated Gap
------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Setup
Timeframe: 1-minute chart recommended for maximum gap detection frequency. Works on all timeframes (higher timeframes will show fewer, larger gaps).
Symbol: Any tradable instrument. Originally designed for BTC1! (CME Bitcoin Futures) but compatible with all symbols.
Settings:
ATR Length: 14 (default)
Min Gap Size: 0.5x ATR (adjust based on timeframe and noise level)
Gap Age Limit: 3 months (configurable)
Max Historical Gaps: 300 (adjustable 1-500)
------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
Gap Detection : Identifies price discontinuities on every candle where:
Gap up: current candle low > previous candle high
Gap down: current candle high < previous candle low
Minimum gap size filter (ATR-based) eliminates insignificant gaps
Mitigation Tracking : Monitors when price touches both gap boundaries. A gap is marked as filled when the price has touched both the top and bottom of the gap zone, even if this occurs across multiple candles.
Visual Elements :
Green boxes: Unfilled gaps above current price (potential bullish targets)
Red boxes: Unfilled gaps below current price (potential bearish targets)
Gray boxes: Filled gaps (historical reference)
Labels: Display gap type, price level, and distance percentage
Analysis Table: Shows :
Distance % to nearest bullish gap (above price)
Distance % to nearest bearish gap (below price)
Trade bias (LONG if nearest gap is above, SHORT if nearest gap is below)
------------------------------------------------------
Key Features
Detects gaps on any timeframe (1m, 5m, 1h, 1D, etc.)
Boxes extend 500 bars forward for active gaps, stop at the fill bar for mitigated gaps
Real-time distance calculations update on every candle
Configurable age filter removes outdated gaps
ATR multiplier ensures gap detection adapts to market volatility and timeframe

AlphaFlow - Trend DetectorOVERVIEW
AlphaFlow identifies and tracks large volume moves by combining volume analysis, price impact measurement, and conviction scoring to separate significant institutional moves from normal trading activity. Rather than just flagging high volume, this indicator evaluates whether large trades actually moved the market and assigns conviction levels based on multiple confirmation factors.
WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
This is not simply a volume indicator or volume-weighted price tracker. The originality lies in the multi-factor conviction scoring system that evaluates whether large volume moves represent genuine institutional conviction or just noise.
Key Differentiators:
- Combines volume ratio AND price impact (volume alone doesn't mean conviction)
- Conviction scoring system that weighs trend alignment, follow-through, and volume persistence
- Cumulative flow tracking that shows persistent directional pressure over time
- Market regime detection (bullish/bearish/sideways) based on flow dynamics
- Tiered signal system (EXTREME/HIGH/MEDIUM conviction) rather than binary signals
This approach solves the problem of volume spikes that don't lead to meaningful price action, or price moves on low volume that don't persist.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Whale Detection Engine:
Volume Qualification: Compares current volume to a rolling average (default 50 bars). Whale activity requires volume to be at least 1.5x the average (adjustable).
Price Impact Requirement: Volume alone isn't enough. The bar must also show significant price movement (default 0.1% minimum). This filters out high-volume consolidation where no one is actually committed to direction.
Direction Identification: Bullish whale = close > open on high volume. Bearish whale = close < open on high volume.
2. Conviction Scoring System:
The indicator doesn't just flag whale activity - it evaluates conviction through multiple factors:
Base Conviction: Calculated from (volume_ratio × price_impact) / 10
This gives higher scores to moves with both exceptional volume AND large price swings.
Trend Alignment Bonus (1.5x multiplier): Whale moves aligned with the 20-period EMA trend receive higher conviction scores. Institutional money tends to accumulate with the trend, not against it.
Follow-Through Bonus (1.3x multiplier): After whale activity, does price continue in that direction over the next bars (default 3)? Genuine conviction shows persistence.
Volume Persistence (1.2x multiplier): Is elevated volume sustained over multiple bars, or is it a one-time spike? The 3-bar average volume ratio above 1.5x indicates sustained interest.
Conviction Levels:
- EXTREME: Score > 15 (large whale emoji labels, highest confidence)
- HIGH: Score > 8 (triangle signals, strong confidence)
- MEDIUM: Score > 3 (small triangles, moderate confidence)
- LOW: Score < 3 (not plotted to reduce noise)
3. Cumulative Flow Analysis:
Rather than treating each whale move in isolation, the indicator tracks cumulative flow using an EMA of whale activity. This reveals persistent directional pressure.
Flow Calculation: Each whale bar contributes (whale_strength × direction) to the flow. Strength is volume_ratio × price_impact_percent.
Flow Momentum: Rate of change in the cumulative flow (5-bar change)
Flow Acceleration: Second derivative (3-bar change of momentum)
These metrics reveal whether whale activity is accelerating, decelerating, or reversing.
4. Market Regime Detection:
Bullish Regime: Cumulative flow > 2 AND momentum positive
Bearish Regime: Cumulative flow < -2 AND momentum negative
Sideways Regime: Neither condition met
The background color reflects the current regime, helping traders understand the broader context.
5. Flow Strength Meter:
The main plot normalizes cumulative flow to a -100 to +100 scale based on the 100-bar range. This provides a consistent visual reference regardless of the asset or timeframe.
Extreme levels at ±50 indicate particularly strong directional flow where reversals or consolidation become more likely.
HOW TO USE IT
Settings Configuration:
Whale Detection Section:
- Volume Average Period (default 50): Shorter periods make detection more sensitive to recent volume changes. Longer periods require more exceptional volume to trigger.
- Whale Volume Multiplier (default 1.5): How much above average volume must be to qualify. Lower = more signals. Higher = only extreme moves.
- Minimum Price Impact (default 0.1%): Filters out high-volume bars that didn't actually move price. Adjust based on asset volatility.
Trend Analysis:
- Trend Strength Period (default 20): EMA period for trend alignment bonus
- Confirmation Bars (default 3): How many bars to check for follow-through
Visual Settings:
- Flow Strength Meter: Main plot showing normalized cumulative flow
- Conviction Labels: Detailed labels showing volume ratio and price impact on extreme/high conviction whales
- Trend Background: Color-coded regime indication
Signal Interpretation:
EXTREME Conviction (Whale Emoji Labels):
These are the highest confidence signals. Large volume with significant price impact, aligned with trend, showing follow-through. These often mark the beginning or continuation of strong moves.
HIGH Conviction (Large Triangles):
Strong signals meeting most criteria. Good for main entries or adding to positions.
MEDIUM Conviction (Small Triangles):
Whale activity present but with fewer confirmation factors. Use for partial positions or require additional confirmation.
Flow Strength Meter:
- Above zero and rising: Bullish flow building
- Below zero and falling: Bearish flow building
- Approaching ±50: Extreme readings, watch for exhaustion
- Crossing zero: Flow regime change
Dashboard Information:
The top-right table shows:
- Current regime (bullish/bearish/sideways)
- Flow strength value
- Last whale direction
- Conviction level of last whale
- Current volume ratio
- Flow momentum direction
- Indicator status
Trading Strategies:
Trend Following: Take EXTREME and HIGH conviction signals aligned with the flow meter direction. Enter when flow is positive and rising for bullish whales, negative and falling for bearish whales.
Regime-Based: Only trade in bullish/bearish regimes (colored backgrounds). Avoid trading in sideways regimes where whale moves tend to reverse quickly.
Flow Reversals: When flow meter crosses zero with EXTREME conviction whale in the new direction, this often marks regime changes.
Exhaustion Plays: When flow reaches ±50 extreme levels, watch for EXTREME conviction whales in the opposite direction as potential reversal signals.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Volume Ratio = Current Volume / SMA(Volume, Period)
Price Impact % = ABS(Close - Open) / Open × 100
Whale Detected = (Volume Ratio >= Multiplier) AND (Price Impact >= Minimum)
Whale Direction = Close > Open ? 1 : -1
Base Conviction = (Volume Ratio × Price Impact %) / 10
Trend Alignment = Whale Direction == Trend Direction ? 1.5 : 1.0
Follow-Through = Price continues whale direction over N bars ? 1.3 : 1.0
Volume Persistence = SMA(Volume Ratio, 3) > 1.5 ? 1.2 : 1.0
Final Conviction = Base × Trend Alignment × Follow-Through × Volume Persistence
Whale Flow = Whale Detected ? (Volume Ratio × Price Impact × Direction) : 0
Cumulative Flow = EMA(Whale Flow, 20)
Flow Momentum = Change(Cumulative Flow, 5)
Flow Acceleration = Change(Momentum, 3)
Normalized Flow Strength = (Cumulative Flow / Highest(ABS(Cumulative Flow), 100)) × 100
WHAT THIS SOLVES
Common Volume Indicator Problems:
- Volume spikes that don't move price (consolidation noise)
- Price moves on low volume that quickly reverse
- No differentiation between strong and weak volume signals
- Treating all high-volume bars equally regardless of context
- No measure of whether volume represents conviction or panic
Whale Flow Solutions:
- Requires both volume AND price impact for signals
- Conviction scoring separates strong moves from weak ones
- Cumulative flow shows persistent pressure vs isolated spikes
- Trend alignment and follow-through filter low-quality signals
- Tiered system lets traders choose their confidence threshold
LIMITATIONS
- Cannot identify individual whales or attribute volume to specific entities
- High volume can come from many sources (whales, retail panic, algo activity)
- Works best on liquid assets with consistent volume patterns
- Less reliable on low-volume assets or during market closures
- Conviction scoring thresholds may need adjustment per asset/timeframe
- Does not predict future whale activity, only identifies it after bars close
- Flow can remain at extremes longer than expected during strong trends
- False signals can occur during news events or earnings
- Not a standalone trading system - requires risk management and other analysis
Best used in combination with price action, support/resistance, and broader market context.
EDUCATIONAL VALUE
For traders learning about:
- Volume analysis beyond simple volume indicators
- Multi-factor signal confirmation systems
- Market regime and flow concepts
- Conviction-based scoring methodologies
- Cumulative indicator design
- Normalized plotting for cross-asset comparison
- Pine Script table and dashboard creation

ORB indicator with Total Time This script calculates a custom Open Range Breakout (ORB) for a user-defined session start time and duration. Unlike standard ORB indicators, which often use fixed time frames, this script allows precise control over the session length and start, allowing observation of early-session price ranges.
Key Features and Mechanics:
Custom session timing: Set the ORB start hour, minute, and total duration in minutes. The session is anchored to New York time for consistency with NYSE/NASDAQ hours.
Dynamic ORB tracking: The script identifies the high and low of the defined ORB period, updates them in real-time, and optionally extends these lines beyond the session for continuous reference.
Visual clarity: Highlights the ORB zone during the session and allows adjustable line thickness for better visibility across charts.
Breakout alerts: Integrated alert conditions notify traders when price crosses above the ORB high or below the ORB low. Alerts are optional and configurable.
Usefulness:
Not a simple replication: While ORB scripts exist, this script combines customizable session duration, visual zone highlighting, extendable lines, and breakout alerts in a single tool.
Trader insight: Provides clear visual context and early-session breakout monitoring, making traders observe price action dynamics.
How It Works Conceptually:
The script calculates a session start timestamp based on the user-defined hour and minute.
Bars within the session are tracked to determine the highest high and lowest low.
After the session, the ORB high and low can either remain visible (extendORB = true) or disappear.
Alerts trigger when price crosses these levels, allowing users to act on potential breakouts.
This script is intended to provide visual and analytical guidance for early-session price ranges. It does not make performance claims and is based entirely on chart data. Results are not guaranteed and is intended for educational purposes only.

3. Color-Coded Urgency
The "Days" column for both macro and earnings tables uses a traffic light system to instantly communicate how soon the event is:
Red: The event is scheduled for Today or Tomorrow (0–1 day away).
Orange: The event is scheduled for the current week (within 6 days).
Teal: The event is more than a week away.
Gray: The date is currently unavailable or outside the loaded calendar range.
Key levels + Session Range (Sweep-Aware Levels)Overview
This indicator provides a single, clean view of two core intraday contexts that day traders rely on:
Daily Liquidity Levels: prior day high/low (PDH/PDL), prior day open/close, weekly highs/lows, and other commonly referenced reference points.
Session Ranges: clearly plotted high/low for each active session (e.g., Asia, London, New York), tracked live as the session evolves.
By unifying these two information layers, traders can immediately see when price is sweeping a session’s extremes into known daily liquidity—a frequent precursor to reversals or continuation moves. This saves chart space, reduces cognitive overload, and turns two separate checks into one coherent read.
What it does
Plots daily liquidity references: previous day high/low, previous day open/close, and optional higher-timeframe levels (open, high, mid and low 4H ,Day, Week, month, year and quarterly).
Tracks session high/low live: as each session unfolds, the indicator updates that session’s running High and Low, then locks them at session end.
Maps interaction between the two layers: you can instantly spot session sweeps that tag PDH/PDL (or weekly extremes), highlight potential liquidity grabs, and frame risk with objective boundaries.
Keeps the chart clean: just essential lines/zones and concise labels—no extra clutter.
Why it’s useful & original
Single-purpose integration: Rather than a generic mashup, this is a purpose-built fusion where session dynamics are read in the context of daily liquidity. That relationship is the core edge—seeing when a session sweep aligns with known liquidity pools.
Workflow efficiency: One overlay replaces two indicators, simplifying visibility and reducing conflicting visuals.
Decision clarity: The combination highlights setups many intraday traders already watch manually (e.g., NY session high sweep into PDH), but makes them obvious in real time.
How it works (plain-English logic)
Daily Liquidity Engine
At the start of each day, the indicator records PDH, PDL, prior open/close and (optionally) prior week high/low.
These levels are plotted and extended across the session as static references.
Session Range Tracker
For each defined session (e.g., Asia/London/New York), the script initializes session High/Low at session open.
Throughout the session, it updates those extremes in real time and locks them on session close.
Interaction Layer
When price reaches or sweeps a session High/Low near a daily level (e.g., within your chosen tolerance), the confluence becomes visually obvious.
Traders can then decide whether it’s a likely liquidity grab (fade/reversal idea) or a continuation through the pool (breakout idea), per their plan.
How to use it
Identify session context: Start by noting where price is trading relative to the current session’s High/Low.
Locate nearby daily liquidity: Check distance to PDH/PDL, prior open/close, and weekly extremes.
Look for confluence:
Sweep-and-fade idea: Session High swept into PDH (or Session Low into PDL) with failure to hold → potential reversal context.
Break-and-go idea: Strong close through PDH/PDL following a session extreme break → potential continuation context.
Risk framing: Session High/Low and PDH/PDL provide objective anchors for stops and targets. Adapt to your own risk model (e.g., use ATR or structure-based stops).
Keep it clean: Use this as your primary overlay to avoid clutter; add confirmations (volume, structure) only if they genuinely help your process.
Settings (typical options)
Sessions: Choose which sessions to display (e.g., Asia/London/NY) and their time zones/hours.
Daily Levels: Toggle PDH/PDL, prior open/close, prior week High/Low, and other references you rely on.
Visuals: Colors, line styles, label visibility, and optional band shading for quick recognition.
Confluence Tolerance (optional): Define how near a session extreme must be to a daily level to consider it a “liquidity touch/sweep” in your visuals.
Alerts (optional): First touch/sweep of session High/Low, break/close beyond PDH/PDL, or custom distance conditions.
Chart & Publishing Notes (for reviewers and users)
Clean chart by design: Only essential lines/labels for session extremes and daily references.
Plain-English description: Explains what, why, and how so non-coders can use it confidently.
Original integration: The value here is the purposeful interaction—seeing session sweeps in context of daily liquidity in one place—rather than a cosmetic mashup.
Limitations & good practice
This tool is contextual, not predictive. It highlights structure and liquidity landmarks; trade decisions are yours.
Session definitions vary by asset/exchange; ensure your session times match your market.
Past behavior at these levels does not guarantee future outcomes; always use proper risk management.
