Multi Time Frame Effective Volume ProfileWHAT DOES THIS INDICATOR DO?
It is a well-known fact that volume often precedes price. As such, if you can spot an increased volume early on, you can take a position before the majority joins the trend. The purpose of this indicator is to show the tactical moves of the insiders and the big players before they become obvious to everyone. Similarly, you should more easily be able to identify trend exhaustion and look to close your position.
This volume indicator is largely inspired by Pascal Willain's concept of Effective Volume described in his book "Value in Time" , which is an improvement over Larry Williams' accumulation/distribution formula. The more robust formula takes into account two very important factors:
1) the gaps that are an inevitable part of almost all securities;
2) the closing price in relation to the spread, which indicates the bull/bear strength;
I have slightly modified Pascal Willain's formula for Effective Volume and introduced a few additional features, which I believe make the indicator easier to use and understand.
HOW DOES THE INDICATOR WORK?
1. Volume Bar Deconstruction
The first significant part of this indicator is that it deconstructs the volume bar of your current trading session into one-minute volume bars, separates the significant volume, and then reconstructs the bar again. As a result, you get a new bar, in which only the significant volume is counted. Not only this, but you also get a more comprehensive view of the relationship between buying and selling that occurred on the smaller time frame.
In the screenshot below you can see that although the bears were stronger, the bulls met them with almost identical force, which resulted in absorbing the supply in 1 and then in 2 the demand drove the price up. In a traditional volume bar chart (which is also plotted), you only see the total traded volume in either red or green depending on the closing of the bar. As you would probably agree, this does not reveal the whole story.
Accumulation/distribution by large players and funds is done with great precision, which is hard to catch intraday and nearly impossible on a daily time frame. However, large orders are hard to conceal on the 1-min chart since any unusual volume sticks out like a sore thumb. The whole idea here is for you to get a comprehensive view of what's going on in the small time frame, reveal any hard to spot transactions, and then make an informed decision on your trading time frame.
To ease your analysis even further, the indicator shows you minor volume as a percent of the major volume . Since your current time frame volume bar is a sum of all buying and selling volume from a smaller time frame, you get to see a more complete picture of the buying and selling that occurred. For example, you have a total volume of 150 BTC in a single 1h volume bar, out of which 100 BTC is in selling volume and 50 BTC is in buying volume. What you will see as parameters are this: 50 (buying volume), 100 (selling volume), 50 (minor volume as a percent of the big volume, since 50/100 = 0.5 = 50%). The higher the percentage, the more even the powers between buying and selling are.
2. Volume Trend
Building upon the first feature of the indicator, you can also choose a cumulative volume trend line. It is constructed by evaluating the type of the significant volume - adding it up if the bar closes positive (green) and subtracting it if the bar closes negative (red). The evaluation is once again done on a 1-min time frame by default, but you can change that along with the count lookback period in settings.
3. Bull / Bear Equilibrium
Based upon the volume bars, Bull/Bear Equilibrium shows you the difference between buying and selling pressure under the form of a smoothed histogram. It is particularly useful not only for spotting trends early in the beginning, but also when those trends start reaching a point of exhaustion. You can then move your Stop Loss accordingly, close part of your position to preserve profits, or even look for a good entry position in the opposite direction.
HOW MUCH DOES THE INDICATOR COST ?
As much as I would like to offer it for free (as some of my other ones), a great deal of work, trading logic, and testing have gone into creating this indicator. More than a few hundred iterations and a few dozen branches were required to reach the end result which is a precise combination of usefulness, simplicity, and practicality. Furthermore, this indicator will continue to be updated and user-requested features that improve its performance will be added.

Z-HistogramIt is possible to approximate the underlying distribution of a random variable by using what is called an "Histogram". In order to construct an histogram one must first split the data into several intervals (also called bins) often of the same size and count the number of values falling within each intervals, the histogram plot is then constructed with the X axis representing the measured variable and the Y axis representing the frequency.
The proposed script aim to estimate the underlying distribution of a rolling z-score by constructing its histogram, here the histogram consist of 13 bins of width 0.5 rolling standard deviations. The length setting define the rolling z-score period, the window setting define the number of past data to be counted, finally using the "Total" option (true by default) will count all the rolling z-scores values since the first bar, in order to use the window setting make sure to uncheck the "Total" option.
DISPLAY
In order to see the entirety of the histogram make sure to double click on the indicator window and to have all the lower panels (text notes, pine editor...etc) hidden, finally make sure to zoom-in in order to see the frequency numbers displayed.
Z-Histogram on BTCUSD 15 min TF, the blue bins represent intervals situated over 0 while red bins represent intervals situated under 0. Here σ represent the X-axis in standard deviations, the histogram start with a bin situated at σ = -3 which count the number of times the rolling z-score was within -3 and -2.5, the histogram end with the bin situated at σ = 3 which count the number of time the rolling z-score was within 3 and 3.5.
It is also possible to look at the shape of the histogram without having the indicator window at full size.
INTERPREATION
An histogram can give really interesting information such as overall trend direction and strength. The direction can be measured by looking at the skewness of the histogram, with a negative skewness (the peak of the histogram situated at the right from the center) representing down-trending variations and positive skewness (the peak of the histogram situated at the left from the center) representing up-trending variations, while a symmetrical histogram could represent a ranging market. The farther away the peak of the histogram is situated from the center, the stronger the trend.
Another interesting characteristic is the tailedness of the histogram, which can give information about the cleanliness of the trend, for example a positive skew and high tailedness would represent a clean up-trend, as it could suggest less variations contrary to the main trend.
An histogram applied to the rolling z-score can give various useful information. As a recall the rolling z-score of the price measure the distance between the closing price and its moving average in term of rolling standard deviations, for example if the rolling z-score is equal to 2 it means that the closing price is currently 2 rolling standard deviations over its moving average.
Lets for example analyze the histogram using INTC 15 min tf with a window of 456 bars and rolling z-score of length = 100 in order to review longer term variations.
We can see from the histogram that the uptrend visible on the chart is represented by the bins situated over 0 having an overall higher frequency than the bins under 0, we can see that the closing price tended to stay between 1 and 1.5 rolling standard deviations over its period 100 moving average. Here bins under 0 accounts for retracements in the trend.
IN SUMMARY
An histogram can give various information regarding the price evolution of a security, the proposed script aim to plot the histogram of a rolling z-score. Now this script might not be too useful but it was fun to make, also it does not mean that an histogram is not an useful tool in the context of trading, the only thing required is a god implementation of it (like volume profiles for example)
In this post we have also reviewed some important statistical concepts such as distributions, z-score, skewness and tailedness, each being extremely important in the quantitative trading field.

Cumulative Overlapping Volume BarsThis is cheap replacement for volume profile.
Red bars is where accumulated high volume in small range.
if new bar moves out of range all accumulated volume will be lost and color will change.
Delta Volume Columns [LucF]Displays delta volume columns using intrabar volume information. Each volume column is divided into three sections: buying, selling and neutral volume. Volume for each section is determined from the volume and price movement of each intrabar at a user-selected lower resolution.
Features include:
- Choice of color themes for either dark or light chart backgrounds
- Delta volume columns
- Volume Balance displayed as the difference between the MAs of buying and selling volume
- Display of divergences between a bar’s volume balance and the bar’s price movement (example: buying volume > selling volume but close < open). Divergences can be shown in 2 different color schemes (including green/red showing a tentative direction), on volume columns and/or on chart bars
- Display of bar by bar volume balance with highlighting of above average volume
- Display of the usual total volume MA
- Choice of the lower resolution used to retrieve intrabar information
- Alerts configurable on any combination of the markers, with control over long/short direction
- Choice of 3 different markers:
1. Double bumps: two consecutive bars where buying or selling volume is in the same direction and where volume > volume MA
2. Divergence confirmations: direction of the price bar following a price/volume balance divergence
3. Volume balance shifts: zero level crossings of the volume balance MA delta
The chart shows the two main modes of display:
- Top pane : shows the stacked volume columns with divergences in orange and the flattened volume balance MAs delta at the bottom of the volume columns. This volume balance is the same shown in the bottom pane. The top pane also shows the instant volume balance strip above the volume columns. The strip’s colors show which of the buying or selling volume was greater, and colors are brighter if the total volume was above the total volume MA.
- Bottom pane : shows the volume balance MAs delta with markers 1 and 2. Given that this graphic has no price momentum component, I find quite eerie how it often looks like a momentum-based signal.
The default 5 minute intrabar resolution is used in combination with the weekly chart, which is excessive.
This script uses a special characteristic of the security() function’s behavior when it is sent to a resolution lower than the chart’s resolution. Details are given in the script’s comments. This method has the advantage of working under more circumstances than some of the other loop-based methods, but it also has its limits.
IMPORTANT
This is what you need to know:
- The method used does not work on the realtime bar—only on historical bars. Consequently, the volume column shown on the realtime bar is a normal volume column plotted in green or red, following price movement. The column will only show delta volume information after it closes and becomes a historical bar.
- The indicator only works on some chart resolutions: 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions, but chart resolutions must be divisible by the lower resolution used for intrabars.
- Intrabar resolutions can be selected from 1, 5, 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The intrabar resolution must of course be smaller than the chart’s resolution.
- Contrary to my other indicators where alerts must be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar Close” in order to avoid false triggers (or repainting), all this indicator’s alerts are designed to trigger using previous bar information since the indicator’s calculations in the realtime bar are not exact. Markers are not plotted with a negative offset; they appear at the beginning of the realtime bar following confirmation of the marker’s condition on the previous bar. Alerts for this indicator should thus be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar” so they trigger at the beginning of the realtime bar. Note that the penalty is not that great, as it is simply the instant between the close of the previous realtime bar and the opening of the next. The advantage of using this technique is that the indicator does not repaint; a marker that appears at the beginning of the realtime bar will never disappear.
- The script only plots information that is reliable in the realtime bar, i.e., total volume and markers. All other plots are set to n/a to prevent misleading traders.
- When the difference between the chart’s resolution and the lower resolution is too important, volume columns will not calculate for all bars in the dataset.
On Delta Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by 2 different traders. There is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume, but trader lingo is riddled with original fabulations.
Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s numbers are more precise because it analyses a number of intrabars to calculate its information, it uses the exact same imperfect logic to calculate its buying/selling/neutral sections.
Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our so-called buying/selling volume information will always be a mere proxy.
Divergences
You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume information and price movement. This will sometimes be due to the methodology’s shortcomings we have just discussed, but divergences may also occur in instances where because of order book structure, it takes less volume to increase the price of an asset than it takes to decrease it.
As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm traders have for divergences. To your pattern-hungry brain, the orange bars this indicator shows on chart will—as divergences on other indicators do–appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering, as many who have tried building automated rules based on divergences will tell you. I do not have hard numbers on the lack of performance of divergences—only many failed attempts to make them perform, which a few experienced strategy modelers I know share with me. Please don’t try to read too much into them. While they look great on past data, I find they are often difficult to use in realtime to make bets with good odds.

WaveTrend Oscillator v3 [JopAlgo]WaveTrend Oscillator v3 — reversal focus with confirmation, not guesswork
Core idea
WaveTrend (WT) gives you a smoothed oscillator pair (WT1 and WT2) with overbought/oversold rails and a momentum histogram. This v3 adds two filters so reversals are earned, not guessed:
Heikin-Ashi trend check → only take crosses with candle bias
Reversal Confidence Score (RCS) → only fire when momentum vs ATR is strong enough
Add an optional divergence check so you only act when price and oscillator disagree into extremes.
What you’ll see
WT1 (green) and WT2 (red)
Histogram = WT1 − WT2 (gray columns)
Rails: Overbought = +60, Oversold = −60, and the Zero line
Labels when all conditions align → Smart Buy (below) or Smart Sell (above)
Read it fast → Are we near +60/−60? Did WT1 cross WT2? Is the histogram expanding in that direction? Did a Smart label print?
How the signals are built
A signal prints only if all are true:
Cross → Bull: WT1 crosses up WT2; Bear: WT1 crosses down WT2
Extreme → Bull: WT1 below −60; Bear: WT1 above +60
RCS filter → |WT1 − WT2| scaled by ATR must be > threshold (default 80)
Heikin-Ashi agreement → HA close vs open points the same way as the cross
Divergence (lookback N) → Bull: oscillator makes lower low while price doesn’t; Bear: oscillator higher high while price doesn’t
Result → a reversal-grade setup, not a continuation ping.
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
If you want a pure reversal tool, keep the default rails (+60/−60) → you’ll wait for true extremes.
If you want more frequency, relax the rails (e.g., +50/−50) or lower RCS (e.g., 70 → 65). More signals → more noise.
Entry logic
Long reversal template
→ Price drives down into a value area edge (VAL/LVN)
→ WT1 < −60, WT1 ↗ WT2, RCS > threshold, HA bias up, bullish divergence
→ Enter on reclaim of the level or on the first higher-low after the cross
Short reversal template
→ Price pushes into VAH/HVN
→ WT1 > +60, WT1 ↘ WT2, RCS > threshold, HA bias down, bearish divergence
→ Enter on rejection and lower-high after the cross
Location first (always)
Use Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) for where to act
Use Anchored VWAP (session/weekly/event) for who has control
No level → no trade. A WT flip into a level is better than one mid-range.
Risk & targets
Stops → beyond the sweep extreme or beyond the reclaimed level
Targets → ladder to next Fib/VP nodes (POC/HVNs, VA mid), then trail behind swings or the WT zero-line reclaim
Settings that matter (and how to tune)
WT Length (default 10) → core smoothing of the channel
→ Lower = faster turns; higher = calmer oscillator
WT EMA Smoothing (default 21) and Signal Smoothing (default 3)
→ Increase to reduce chop; decrease to react earlier
Overbought / Oversold (default +60/−60)
→ Tighten to +50/−50 for more frequent reversals; widen to +70/−70 for only the strongest
RCS Threshold (default 80)
→ Down to 70 for earlier triggers; up to 90 for only the punchiest turns
Divergence Lookback (default 5)
→ Shorter finds more local divs; longer finds bigger swings
Starter presets
Intraday (15m–1H) → WT 10/21, signal 3, rails ±60, RCS 80, div 5
Swing (2H–4H) → WT 14/28, signal 3–5, rails ±60/±70, RCS 85–90, div 7–9
Pattern cheat sheet
Double-dip divergence → oscillator prints a lower low near −60 while price holds a higher low → high-quality long if RCS/HA agree
Zero-line reclaim after a smart long → momentum shift; use it to trail stops or add on retest
Failure signal → cross fires but RCS < threshold or histogram shrinks back toward 0 into a level → stand down or cut quick
Overbought drift → WT pinned near +60/+70 without cross down → trend grind; don’t fade blindly
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2 → take WT reversals at VAH/VAL/LVNs; target POC/HVNs
Anchored VWAP → WT cross with an AVWAP reclaim/reject is higher quality
CVDv1 (optional) → prefer flows that align with the reversal; avoid if absorption is fighting you
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Fading every spike without RCS/HA confirmation
Taking reversals mid-range, far from levels
Treating divergence as timing (it’s context; you still need the cross + filter)
Ignoring the zero-line behavior after entry (weak follow-through)

TSI v2 [JopAlgo] – Sniper VersionTSI v2 — “Sniper” momentum that’s fast, clean, and actionable
Core idea
TSI (True Strength Index) turns raw price momentum into a smoothed, normalized oscillator so you can see trend side, turns, and follow-through without chop.
Workflow: momentum (close - close ) → double EMA smooth (fast = shortLength, slow = longLength) → normalize vs smoothed absolute momentum → scale to ±100 → signal EMA (signalLength) for triggers.
Above 0 → bullish momentum regime
Below 0 → bearish momentum regime
TSI vs Signal cross → momentum turn
Farther from 0 → stronger impulse
What you’ll see
TSI line (blue) — main momentum read
Signal line (orange) — trigger for turns
Zero line (gray) — bull/bear divider
Alerts for bullish/bearish crosses (enable if you want pane markers)
Read it in 3 seconds: Which side of 0? Did TSI cross its signal? Are bars expanding or fading?
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
Longs while TSI ≥ 0, shorts while TSI ≤ 0.
Cleanest continuation: TSI crosses up its signal above 0 (mirror down).
Act at real locations
Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) or Anchored VWAP reclaims/rejections.
No level, no trade.
Break + retest
Break a level with TSI > 0 and crossing up → enter on the first retest that holds (mirror down).
Trend pullback
In an uptrend, TSI dips toward the signal (ideally holds above 0), then re-crosses up near a level → continuation entry.
Do less in chop
If TSI and signal braid around 0, it’s balance—only trade edges with tight risk.
Entries, exits, risk
Continuation long: TSI > 0, crosses up at VAL/AVWAP/MA cluster → enter.
Stop: below structure/last swing. Targets: POC/HVNs or next swing high.
Fresh short: Breakdown + TSI < 0 crosses down → enter on failed retest.
Invalidation: quick re-cross up + level reclaim.
Manage: Trim when TSI flattens or crosses against you into target/HVN.
Settings that matter (and how to tune)
Short EMA (default 13): responsiveness (lower = faster, noisier).
Long EMA (default 25): backbone smoothing (higher = steadier).
Signal EMA (default 7): trigger sensitivity (lower = earlier, more flips).
Suggested presets
Scalp (1–5m): 8 / 21 / 5
Intraday (15m–1H): 13 / 25 / 7 (Sniper defaults)
Swing (2H–4H): 21 / 50 / 9
Daily backdrop: 25 / 100 / 9 (execute on lower TF)
Pattern cheat sheet
Zero-line reclaim: TSI crosses 0 and signal together → regime shift; use first retest.
Continuation curl: TSI pulls toward signal, holds above 0, then re-crosses up → add/enter with trend.
Weak break tell: Level poke while TSI fails to cross or stalls near 0 → skip/wait.
Light divergence: Price higher high while TSI lower high → thinning; trail tight into HVNs.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2: entries at VAH/VAL/LVNs, targets at POC/HVNs.
Anchored VWAP: reclaim/reject + TSI cross same direction = high-quality timing.
CVDv1 (optional): take TSI-aligned trades with flow (Alignment OK, no Absorption).
RVOL (optional): prefer breaks with participation above cutoff.
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Longs with TSI < 0 or shorts with TSI > 0.
Chasing when TSI is flattening/crossing against you into a level.
Trading mid-range while TSI/signal whipsaw around 0.
Quick defaults to start
13 / 25 / 7 on 15m–1H
Process: Location → TSI side (0) → TSI vs Signal cross → (optional) CVD/RVOL check → Structure-based risk

Trend MACD [JopAlgo]Trend MACD — momentum made obvious (4-state histogram)
What it does (one line):
A clean MACD histogram using EMA(fast) − EMA(slow) with a signal line. The columns change color to show trend side and momentum change at a glance.
Green = above 0 and rising → positive trend, momentum building
White (upside) = above 0 but fading → still positive, momentum cooling
White (downside) = below 0 but improving → still negative, momentum recovering
Red = below 0 and falling → negative trend, momentum building down
Zero line = the bull/bear divider. Distance from zero = thrust. Color change = momentum shift.
What you’ll see
Dashed zero line for the trend divider
Column histogram with the 4-state color logic above
No clutter—just momentum and regime, clean
Read it in 3 seconds: Which side of 0? Are bars getting bigger or smaller? Did the color flip?
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
Look for longs while histogram is ≥ 0.
Look for shorts while histogram is ≤ 0.
Timing
Green sequence (above 0, growing): join pullbacks at real levels.
White above 0: positive but cooling—buy pullbacks only at levels, don’t chase.
White below 0: negative but improving—prepare for reclaim trades at levels.
Red sequence: trend down—sell pops at levels.
Location first (always)
Use Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) and Anchored VWAP (session/weekly/event).
No level, no trade.
Quality check (optional, strong)
CVDv1 : execute when Alignment OK and no Absorption against your side.
RVOL (if you track it): prefer breakouts with RVOL above cutoff.
Entries, exits, risk (keep it tight)
Continuation long: price retests VAL / AVWAP / MA cluster in an up regime (≥ 0). Histogram stays ≥ 0 and turns green again → enter.
Stop: under structure. Targets: POC/HVNs or next swing.
Break + retest: breakout through a level while histogram flips from white→green above 0 (or white→red below 0 for shorts). Enter on the retest that holds.
Trim / avoid: when bars shrink toward 0 (white) into your target / HVN—momentum is cooling. Don’t chase fresh highs with white bars.
Settings that matter (how to tune)
Fast Length (default 25)
Shorter = quicker turns (more noise). Longer = steadier, slower.
Slow Length (default 200)
Big backbone. For intraday you might use 21/55 or 12/26; for swing the default 25/200 or 20/100 is solid.
Signal Smoothing (default 9)
Higher = smoother, fewer flips. Lower = more reactive.
Source
close is fine; if you use hlc3, expect slightly smoother behavior.
Suggested presets
Scalp (1–5m): 12 / 26 / 9
Intraday (15m–1H): 21 / 55 / 9
Swing (2H–4H): 25 / 100 or 25 / 200 / 9
Daily backdrop: 20 / 100 or 50 / 200 / 9 (execute on lower TF)
Pattern cheat sheet
Green staircase above 0 → trend leg; buy pullbacks to VP/AVWAP.
White above 0 → positive but tiring; avoid chasing; wait for retest.
Flip through 0 with expansion → regime change; use the first retest at a level.
Red staircase below 0 → trend down; sell pops at VP edges.
Diverging price vs shrinking bars → momentum thinning; tighten risk.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2: entries at VAH/VAL/LVNs, targets at POC/HVNs.
Anchored VWAP: reclaim/reject with matching histogram side is high-quality timing.
CVDv1: take MACD-aligned setups with flow (ALIGN OK, no Absorption).
RVOL: confirmation that the push has participation.
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Longs with red momentum or shorts with green momentum.
Chasing new highs on white (cooling) bars.
Trading mid-range when histogram keeps whipsawing around 0 (do less; wait for level).

Smoothed Heiken Ashi Candles [JopAlgo]Smoothed Heiken Ashi Candles — cleaner bias, less noise, better timing
What it does (one line):
Builds a two-stage smoothed Heiken Ashi view so you can read trend vs. pullback without the usual candle noise. Color does the talking:
Lime = bullish state (close ≥ open on the smoothed HA feed)
Red = bearish state
Under the hood: price is EMA-smoothed ( Length len ), converted to Heiken Ashi, then smoothed again ( Length len2 ). Net effect: fewer whips, clearer swings.
What you’ll see
A full candle chart of Smoothed HA (o₂/h₂/l₂/c₂).
Color rule: o₂ > c₂ → red (bearish), otherwise lime (bullish).
No extra clutter—just an easy bias read you can trust at a glance.
Read in 3 seconds: What color? What slope? Are pullbacks shallow or deep relative to the last swing?
How to use it (simple, repeatable)
Bias filter:
Trade longs while candles are lime.
Trade shorts while candles are red.
Where to act (location first):
Use Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) and Anchored VWAP for entries/targets.
No level, no trade.
When to click (timing):
Continuation: In lime, buy the first pullback that holds a level (VAL/AVWAP/MA cluster) and prints a fresh lime close. Mirror for red shorts.
Reclaim/Reject: A color flip that happens at a level (e.g., AVWAP reclaim → turns lime) is higher quality than a random mid-range flip.
Quality check (optional, strong):
If you use CVDv1 , prefer setups with Alignment OK and no Absorption against your side.
Timeframe guidance
1–5m (scalps): Keep len / len2 shorter (e.g., 5 / 5 or 6 / 8) to avoid lag.
15m–1H (intraday): Default 10 / 10 is a sweet spot.
2H–4H (swing): Try 14–20 / 10–14 for smoother swings.
1D+ (position): 20–34 / 14–20 for backdrop; execute on a lower TF.
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune)
Smoothing Length for Original OHLC (len)
Controls the base smoothness before HA.
Lower = more reactive, more flips.
Higher = steadier bias, more lag.
Smoothing Length for Heiken Ashi (len2)
Controls the final polish of the HA feed.
Lower = earlier turns (noisier).
Higher = fewer flips (slower).
Practical tip: If you get too many color flips, raise len2 first. If it feels sluggish at entries, lower len slightly.
Entries, exits, and risk (keep it tight)
Entry — continuation:
In lime, wait for a pullback to VAL / AVWAP / MA cluster, then a new lime close → enter.
Stop: below structure/last swing. Targets: POC/HVNs or prior swing high/low.
Entry — reclaim/reject:
Color flips at a level (e.g., AVWAP reclaim turns lime) → enter with the level holding.
Invalidation: immediate flip back on the next bar and level loss.
Manage:
If color stays with you but progress stalls at HVNs, trim. If color flips against your position, tighten or exit unless higher-TF context argues to hold.
Best combos with other tools
Volume Profile v3.2: Use VAH/VAL/LVNs/POC for where to act; Smoothed HA tells you if trend context supports the trade.
Anchored VWAP: A reclaim/rejection with matching HA color is a high-quality timing cue.
CVDv1: Take color-aligned trades with flow (Alignment OK, strong Imbalance, no Absorption).
Patterns you’ll recognize
Walk-of-color: Multiple same-color bars with rising/lowering bodies → ride pullbacks to level; don’t fade.
Color flip at level: The cleanest reversal context (e.g., red→lime on a VAL reclaim).
Chop tell: Rapid lime↔red flips mid-range → do less; only trade edges.
Practical defaults to start
len = 10, len2 = 10
Timeframes: 15m–4H out of the box
Process: Location → Color/Bias → Timing bar → (optional) CVD check → Structure-based risk

Multi MA Cross [JopAlgo]Multi MA Cross — simple, flexible trend + timing
What it does:
Plots two moving averages (you pick the types and lengths) and marks their crossovers. Use it to read trend direction and time pullbacks/breakouts. Works on any timeframe.
What you’ll see
Short MA (orange)
Long MA (lime)
Cross mark (aqua ✚) when they cross
Green/lime above orange = bullish bias (short MA above long).
Orange above lime = bearish bias.
How to use it (simple playbook)
Trade with the bias
Longs only when short MA > long MA.
Shorts only when short MA < long MA.
Enter at a real level
Use Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) or Anchored VWAP .
Crosses at or just after a level hold are higher quality.
Quality check (optional, strong)
CVDv1 : take trades when Alignment = OK, Imbalance strong, Absorption ≠ red.
Manage risk
Stop goes beyond the level/structure, not on an MA wiggle.
Trim into POC/HVNs or next structure.
Good entries you’ll recognize
Pullback-to-long MA (trend):
Bias up, price pulls to long MA (or AVWAP/VAL), short MA curls back up → enter long.
Reclaim + cross:
Price reclaims AVWAP/VA edge, then short MA crosses over long → confirmation to join.
Squeeze → break:
MAs converge (tight), then expand after a level break. Enter on retest that holds.
Skip crosses in the middle of nowhere. Cross + location + flow beats cross alone.
Timeframe guidance
1–5m (scalps): EMA/EMA or EMA/WMA. Expect more crosses. Use VP/AVWAP and CVD filters.
15m–1H (intraday): EMA(9) vs SMA(21) is a solid default.
2H–4H (swing): SMA(20–34) vs SMA(50) or EMA(21) vs EMA(55).
1D+ (position): SMA(50) vs SMA(200) for broad bias; entries on lower TF.
Settings that matter (and what they mean)
Short/Long MA Type:
EMA = fast, good for timing.
SMA = smooth, good for bias.
WMA/LWMA = in-between (responsive).
VWMA = weights by volume.
SMMA = very smooth (reduces whips).
HEMA/DEMA = extra responsive.
VWAP = daily session VWAP (anchor), ignores length in practice.
Short/Long Length:
Short = timing sensitivity.
Long = trend backbone.
Keep a ratio ~ 1:2 to 1:3 (e.g., 9/21, 10/30, 20/50).
Note on VWAP option: The script fetches a daily VWAP anchor. It acts like a fair-value line, not a rolling MA. Your Length won’t affect VWAP.
Filters that boost win rate
Slope check: Only take longs when both MAs slope up; shorts when both slope down.
Distance check: Don’t chase if price is far from the short MA; wait for a pullback.
HTF agreement: On 15m, glance at 1H/4H bias; on 4H, glance at 1D. Trade with the higher-TF wind.
Combos that work
Volume Profile v3.2: Use VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs for entries/targets. Cross at those references is meaningful.
Anchored VWAP: Reclaims/rejections first, MA cross second = cleaner timing.
CVDv1: Only act when flow agrees (ALIGN OK, no Absorption against you).
Common mistakes this avoids
Shorting into an up-bias (or vice versa).
Chasing a cross far from value (wait for the pullback).
Trading every cross in chop (use levels + CVD to filter).
Defaults to start with
Short MA: EMA 9
Long MA: SMA 21
Timeframes: 15m–4H
Process: Bias → Level → Cross/Retest → CVD check → Execute
Quick disclaimer
Educational tool, not financial advice. Test first, size sensibly, and always anchor your trades to levels, flow, and risk.
Fixed Range Volume Profile"Distribution of transaction volume by price group (transaction volume by price block)"
Instructions for use (Professional Manual)
1. a basic concept
By vertical axis (price), shows the cumulative trading volume traded in the segment.
The longer the block, the more transactions took place in that price range.
Colors distinguish between buying/selling strength (green = buying advantage, red = selling advantage).
2. Key components
POC (Point of Control)
→ Longest block (most traded price segment, "key selling point").
VAH / VAL (Value Area High/Low)
→ Top/bottom segments where approximately 70% of the total volume is formed.
→ Role of "Major Support/Resistance".
High Capacity Node (HVN)
→ Significantly higher trading volumes → strong support/resistance.
Low Volume Node (LVN)
→ Low volume section → areas where prices are easily passed.
3. practical application
Find Support/Resistance
The thickest block (POC) is used as a place where prices often rebound/resist.
a trading entry/liquidation strategy
Buy if the price is supported near HVN,
When breaking through the LVN, fast movement (gap movement) can be expected.
break/goal setting
Finger = Under the LVN,
Target = Next HVN.
Judgment of trends
When the block distribution is concentrated above, "Increase to Collection Section"
If you're driven below, you're "in a downtrend to a variance section."
4. Precautions
The volume distribution is "past data based" and is not an indicator of the future.
Rather than using it alone, it is more effective to combine with Fibonacci, trend lines, and candle patterns.
In particular, in the volatile market, the LVN breakthrough → may signal a surge/fall.
In summary, this block indicator is "a map showing the most market participants at any price point".
In other words, it is useful for finding support/resistance as a tool for analyzing sales and establishing the basis for trading strategies.

Wick Pressure Zones [BigBeluga]
The Wick Pressure Zones indicator highlights areas where extreme wick activity occurred, signaling strong buy or sell pressure. By measuring unusually long upper or lower wicks and mapping them into gradient volume zones , the tool helps traders identify levels where liquidity was absorbed, leaving behind footprints of supply and demand imbalances. These zones often act as support, resistance, or liquidity sweep magnets .
🔵 CONCEPTS
Extreme Wicks : Large upper or lower shadows indicate aggressive rejection — upper wicks suggest selling pressure, lower wicks suggest buying pressure.
Volumatic Gradient Zones : From each detected wick, the indicator projects a layered gradient zone, proportional to the wick’s size, showing where most pressure occurred.
Liquidity Footprints : These zones mark levels where significant buy/sell volume was executed, often becoming reaction points on future retests.
Automatic Expiration : Zones persist until price decisively trades through them, after which they are cleared to keep the chart clean.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic Wick Detection : Identifies extreme upper and lower wick events using percentile filtering and Realative Strength Index.
Gradient Zone Visualization : Builds a 10-layer zone from the wick top/bottom, shading intensity according to pressure strength.
Volume Labels : Each zone is annotated with the bar’s volume at the origin point for added context.
Dynamic Zone Extension : Zones extend to the right as long as they remain relevant; once price closes through them, they are removed.
Support & Resistance Mapping : Upper wick zones (red) behave like supply/resistance, lower wick zones (green) like demand/support.
Clutter Control : Limits the number of active zones (default 10) to keep charts responsive.
Background Highlighting : Optional background shading when new wick zones appear (red for sell, green for buy).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for Upper Wick Zones (red) : Indicate strong selling pressure; watch for resistance, reversals, or liquidity sweeps above.
Look for Lower Wick Zones (green) : Indicate strong buying pressure; watch for support or liquidity sweeps below.
Trade Retests : When price returns to a zone, expect a reaction (bounce or rejection) due to leftover liquidity.
Combine with Context : Align wick pressure zones with HTF support/resistance, order blocks, or volume profile for stronger signals.
Use Volume Labels : High-volume wicks indicate more significant liquidity events, making the zone more likely to act as a strong reaction point.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Wick Pressure Zones is a powerful way to visualize hidden liquidity and aggressive rejections. By mapping extreme wick events into dynamic, volume-annotated zones, it shows traders where the market absorbed heavy buy/sell pressure. These levels frequently act as magnets or turning points, making them valuable for timing entries, stop placement, or fade strategies.

Vwapbot (VWAP + Ut Bot Alerts)Vwapbot (VWAP + Ut Bot Alerts) - Complete Guide
This Pine Script indicator combines two powerful trading tools: Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and the UT Bot trend-following system. Here's a comprehensive breakdown:
What This Indicator Does
The indicator provides:
1. VWAP calculation with deviation bands
2. UT Bot trend signals with trailing stops
3. Combined confluence alerts when both indicators align
4. Visual information table showing current market conditions
Core Components
1. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
What it is: VWAP calculates the average price weighted by volume, giving more importance to high-volume periods.
Settings:
• VWAP Source: Price used for calculation (default: hlc3 - average of high, low, close)
• VWAP Anchor: Reset period (Session/Week/Month/Quarter/Year)
Usage:
• Price above VWAP = bullish bias
• Price below VWAP = bearish bias
• VWAP acts as dynamic support/resistance
2. VWAP Deviation Bands
What they show: Statistical boundaries around VWAP based on price volatility
Settings:
• Standard Deviation Multiplier: How far the bands extend (default: 1.0)
• Show Bands: Toggle visibility
Usage:
• Gray dashed lines: 1 standard deviation bands (normal price range)
• Red dotted lines: 2 standard deviation bands (extreme price levels)
• Price touching outer bands may indicate reversal opportunities
3. UT Bot (Ultimate Trend Bot)
What it does: Creates a trailing stop system that follows trends and signals reversals
Settings:
• Key Value: Sensitivity multiplier (1.0 = balanced, lower = more sensitive)
• ATR Period: Lookback period for volatility calculation (default: 10)
How it works:
• Uses ATR (Average True Range) to calculate dynamic support/resistance levels
• Green line = uptrend (trailing stop below price)
• Red line = downtrend (trailing stop above price)
4. UT Bot Alerts are integrated to the logic of Volume Profile i,e VWAP, the UT Bot Stop trailing line plot its data and change trends obtaining it's logic from the VWAP and Standard Deviation bands, thus it differs in it's logic of UT Bot alerts from other indicators.
Visual Elements
On-Chart Displays:
1. Blue line: VWAP
2. Gray lines: 1st deviation bands
3. Red lines: 2nd deviation bands
4. Green/Red thick line: UT Bot trailing stop
5. Green triangles up: Buy signals
6. Red triangles down: Sell signals
7. Background color: Light green (bullish) / Light red (bearish)
Information Table (Top Right):
• VWAP: Current VWAP value
• UT Bot: Current trailing stop level
• Trend: Bullish/Bearish status
• Price vs VWAP: Above/Below comparison
• Deviation: Percentage distance from VWAP
• Volume: Current bar volume
Trading Signals
Basic Signals:
1. UT Bot Buy: Green triangle when trend turns bullish
2. UT Bot Sell: Red triangle when trend turns bearish
3. VWAP Cross Above: Price crosses above VWAP
4. VWAP Cross Below: Price crosses below VWAP
Confluence Signals :
1. Bullish Confluence: UT Bot buy signal + Price above VWAP
2. Bearish Confluence: UT Bot sell signal + Price below VWAP
How to Use This Indicator
For Trend Following:
1. Enter long when you get a bullish confluence signal
2. Enter short when you get a bearish confluence signal
3. Exit when the UT Bot trend changes color
For Mean Reversion:
1. Look for reversals when price hits the 2nd deviation bands
2. Confirm with UT Bot signals
3. Target return to VWAP
For Support/Resistance:
1. Use VWAP as dynamic support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
2. Watch for bounces at deviation bands
3. Confirm direction with UT Bot trend color
Best Practices
Timeframes:
• Intraday: Use Session VWAP anchor
• Swing trading: Use Weekly/Monthly anchors
• Position trading: Use Monthly/Quarterly anchors
Risk Management:
• Stop loss: Below/above the UT Bot trailing stop
• Position sizing: Smaller positions when price is at extreme deviation bands
• Confluence: Wait for both VWAP and UT Bot alignment for strongest signals
Market Conditions:
• Trending markets: Focus on UT Bot signals and VWAP direction bias
• Ranging markets: Use deviation bands for entry/exit points
• High volume periods: VWAP becomes more significant
Alert System
The indicator provides 6 types of alerts:
1. UT Bot buy/sell signals
2. VWAP crossover alerts
3. Confluence alerts (most important)
Set up alerts for confluence signals to catch the highest probability setups when both indicators align.
This indicator works best when combined with proper risk management and used in conjunction with market structure analysis. The confluence signals provide the highest probability entries, while the individual components help with market.

StdDev Supply/Demand Zone RefinerThis indicator uses standard deviation bands to identify statistically significant price extremes, then validates these levels through volume analysis and market structure. It employs a proprietary "Zone Refinement" technique that dynamically adjusts zones based on price interaction and volume concentration, creating increasingly precise support/resistance areas.
Key Features:
Statistical Extremes Detection: Identifies when price reaches 2+ standard deviations from mean
Volume-Weighted Zone Creation: Only creates zones at extremes with abnormal volume
Dynamic Zone Refinement: Automatically tightens zones based on touch points and volume nodes
Point of Control (POC) Identification: Finds the exact price with maximum volume within each zone
Volume Profile Visualization: Shows horizontal volume distribution to identify key liquidity levels
Multi-Factor Validation: Combines volume imbalance, zone strength, and touch count metrics
Unlike traditional support/resistance indicators that use arbitrary levels, this system:
Self-adjusts based on market volatility (standard deviation)
Refines zones through machine-learning-like feedback from price touches
Weights by volume to show where real money was positioned
Tracks zone decay - older, untested zones automatically fade

[MAD] FVG with LTF-POC/TPOOverview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector is a precision tool designed to automatically identify, draw, and track market inefficiencies. These gaps, also known as imbalances, often act as powerful magnets for future price action.
This indicator handles the entire lifecycle of an FVG: from its creation and extension, to the moment it is first touched, and through its entire mitigation process. To add an even deeper layer of analysis, it can now optionally plot two types of micro-analysis lines for the middle candle of the FVG pattern: a volume-based Point of Control (LTF-POC) and a time-based Time Price Opportunity (LTF-TPO). These high-precision lines pinpoint the most significant price levels within the imbalance itself.
By providing a clean and objective visualization of these critical price zones, the FVG Detector gives traders a clear framework for spotting high-probability setups and understanding how the market returns to areas of inefficiency to become balanced once again.
█ How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on precise detection, dynamic visualization, and intelligent state tracking to provide a comprehensive view of market imbalances.
⚪ The FVG Detection Engine
At its core, the indicator uses a classic three-candle pattern to identify FVGs. This mechanical definition removes all subjectivity:
Bullish FVG: A gap is identified when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bullish FVG.
Bearish FVG: A gap is identified when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bearish FVG.
⚪ Dynamic Drawing and Mitigation
Once an FVG is detected, the indicator automatically draws a colored box to represent the gap. This box is then managed through its entire lifecycle:
Extension: If enabled, the FVG box extends forward in time with each new candle, acting as a visible, forward-looking zone of interest.
Partial Mitigation Trigger: The moment price first "touches" the gap, the box changes color to signal that it is no longer a fresh, unmitigated zone. The statistics table counts this as a "Partially Mitigated" event.
Shrinking FVG: As price moves further into the gap, the colored box dynamically shrinks, providing a real-time visual of how much of the imbalance has been filled.
Historical Outline: An optional secondary outline box is drawn to preserve the FVG's original size. This outline stops extending when the FVG is first touched, leaving a permanent historical marker.
⚪ Optional LTF Analysis for Added Precision
The indicator can look "inside" the FVG's middle candle to find its most significant price levels.
LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Using data from a lower timeframe, it analyzes the volume profile of the FVG-creating candle to find the single price level from the lower-timeframe bar with the highest trading volume.
LTF-TPO (Time-Based): It also identifies the Time Price Opportunity by dividing the candle's price range into distinct "bins." The script counts how many lower-timeframe price ticks occurred in each bin, and the TPO line is drawn at the center of the busiest bin.
Visual Confluence: These are drawn as distinct horizontal lines (defaulting to orange for POC and yellow for TPO) that extend and are managed alongside the FVG's historical outline, serving as precise levels of interest within the broader FVG zone.
█ Why This Indicator is Different
While many traders can spot FVGs manually, this indicator offers a significant edge through the possibility of the lowertimeframe analysis and showing the syntetic TPO or POCs for the relevant candles.
⚪ Automated and Objective
The market moves fast, and manually drawing FVGs is impractical and prone to error. This tool automates the entire process.
Never Miss a Gap: The detector impartially scans every three-candle sequence, ensuring no FVG is missed.
No Subjectivity: The rules for detection, mitigation, and LTF analysis are based on fixed mathematical models, removing subjective judgment.
Multi-Timeframe Clarity: The indicator works flawlessly on any timeframe, allowing you to maintain a consistent view of market structure.
⚪ Visualizing Market Memory
This tool does more than just draw boxes; it tells a story. Watching a box change color and shrink provides a visual of market dynamics in action. The optional historical outlines and LTF analysis lines build a "map" on your chart, showing where significant reactions and high-liquidity zones occurred in the past, which provides invaluable context for future price movements.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identifying High-Probability Zones
The primary use of the FVG Detector is to identify high-probability zones where price may react.
Entries: Unmitigated (fresh) FVGs can serve as powerful entry zones. Traders may look for price to return to a bullish FVG to take a long position, or to a bearish FVG to take a short position.
Targets: An FVG in your path can also act as a logical profit target. For example, if you are in a long position, you might take profit as price fills a nearby bearish FVG above you.
⚪ Confluence and Confirmation
FVGs are most powerful when they align with other forms of technical analysis. Look for FVGs that have "confluence" with:
Market Structure: A bullish FVG found at a key support level or after a bullish break of structure is a higher-probability setup.
Order Blocks: An FVG that overlaps with a bullish or bearish order block creates a very potent point of interest.
Premium/Discount Zones: FVGs found deep in a premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) area of a trading range often yield strong reactions.
The LTF Lines (POC & TPO): Use these lines as a source of internal confluence. While the FVG gives you a zone, the POC and TPO give you precise levels within that zone. The POC shows where the highest volume was traded, while the TPO shows where price spent the most time. Confluence between these two lines can signal an extremely strong level.
█ Settings
Max Number of FVGs to Display: Controls how many active FVGs are kept on the chart to prevent clutter and maintain performance.
Extend Unmitigated FVGs: When enabled, FVG boxes will extend to the right until price touches them.
Show Bullish/Bearish FVGs: Toggles the visibility of bullish or bearish FVGs.
Show FVG Labels: Toggles the visibility of the "FVG" text labels.
Keep Mitigated Outlines: If checked, the historical outline box (and its associated POC/TPO lines) will remain on the chart even after the FVG is completely filled.
Show Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the statistics table, which tracks total, partly mitigated, and fully mitigated FVGs.
Show LTF-TPO (Time-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Time Price Opportunity line.
Show LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Point of Control line.
Use Custom LTF for Analysis: Check this to manually select a timeframe for the POC/TPO calculation. If unchecked, the script auto-selects a lower timeframe.
Lower Timeframe: The specific lower timeframe to use when the "Custom LTF" box is checked.
Magnifier (Bars per Slice): Controls how the script auto-selects a lower timeframe (higher number = lower timeframe). Only active when "Custom LTF" is unchecked.
█ The Logic Explained
This indicator uses a clear, rules-based system based on mathematical and conditional principles.
The 3-Candle FVG Pattern
The detection engine precisely identifies FVGs by comparing the price extremes of a three-candle sequence. For a bullish FVG, it confirms that the high of the first candle is strictly below the low of the third candle. For a bearish FVG, the low of the first candle must be strictly above the high of the third. This leaves an objective, unfilled gap in the market.
The Mitigation and Shrinking Process
Once an FVG is created, the indicator monitors it on every subsequent bar. The moment a candle's price action enters the FVG's zone, it's flagged as "partially mitigated," and its color changes. The script then continues to track how far price pushes into the gap, dynamically shrinking the box to visually represent the remaining imbalance.
Lower-Timeframe (LTF) Analysis Explained
To add precision, the indicator performs a micro-analysis of the middle candle of the FVG pattern. This is achieved by mathematically deconstructing that single candle using data from a smaller timeframe.
The lower timeframe is determined either manually or automatically via the Magnifier. The Magnifier works by dividing the chart's current timeframe. For example, on a 60-minute chart, a Magnifier of 60 tells the indicator to perform its analysis using 1-minute data (60÷60=1).
Once the LTF data is obtained, two calculations are performed:
LTF Point of Control (Volume-Based): This method seeks the price of maximum commitment. The indicator analyzes the volume of every single lower-timeframe bar within the main candle and identifies the one bar with the highest trading volume. The closing price of that specific high-volume bar is designated as the POC.
LTF Time Price Opportunity (Time-Based): This method finds the price where the market spent the most time trading. The process is a form of price distribution analysis:
The total price range (high to low) of the main candle is measured.
This range is divided into 40 equal price zones, or "bins". For a candle with a $2 range, each bin would represent a price slice of 5 cents
The indicator then counts how many of the lower-timeframe closing prices fall within each of the 40 bins.
The TPO line is drawn at the midpoint of the single bin that contained the most prices, representing the "busiest" price level.
Time-Based Drawing for Accuracy
To ensure perfect alignment across all historical data and chart reloads, all drawings are anchored to the precise timestamp of the bar, not its sequential position on the chart. This robust method guarantees that all zones remain fixed and accurate regardless of how much historical data is loaded.

Volatility HistogramCandle Size vs Volume Ratios — Interpretation & Trading Guide
1. Understanding the Ratios
Ratio 1 (Range/Volume): top histogram
Represents the candle's price range divided by the volume.
High values mean large price movement with relatively low volume.
Typically signals less conviction, possible consolidation or fake moves.
Ratio 2 (Volume/Range): bottom histogram
Represents the volume divided by the candle range.
High values mean high volume for the given price movement.
Usually indicates strong market participation and trend strength.
Negative sign often used in plots to separate it visually from Ratio 1.
2. Role of Moving Averages (MAs)
Moving averages smooth the ratios to reduce noise and highlight trend changes.
MA of Ratio 2 often leads the market movement, especially in the morning session.
MA of Ratio 1 tends to lag, confirming trend direction later in the day.
The divergence between the MAs (distance between them) indicates increasing
momentum.
Flat or converging MAs signal consolidation or low market conviction.
3. Interpreting the Relationship and Market Behavior
When Ratio 2 MA moves first and starts diverging from Ratio 1 MA, expect a
potential initiation of trend.
Ratio 1 rising while Ratio 2 remains low often signals consolidation or indecision.
High Ratio 1 with low volume suggests fake breakouts or traps.
High Ratio 2 with stable or rising price indicates strong trend and volume support.
The spread between MAs can be used as a momentum gauge.
Outside main trading hours, ratios oscillate and MAs remain flat, reflecting low
liquidity.
4. Practical Trading Tips
Use early movement in Ratio 2 MA (e.g., 8:15–9:00 AM) as a signal for upcoming
volatility.
Confirm trends later with Ratio 1 MA movement (usually 10:30–11:00 AM).
Watch for periods of high volume but flat ratios as signs of
accumulation/absorption.
Beware of high Ratio 1 values indicating potential consolidation or fake moves.
Use the spread between MAs to assess trend strength and decide entry or exit.
Combine this oscillator with price action and volume profile for best results.
5. Summary
Ratio 1 and Ratio 2 ratios combined with their moving averages offer a powerful
way to interpret price and volume interplay. Their leading-lagging behavior helps
traders anticipate volatility and confirm trends. Proper normalization and visual
scaling are essential for clear interpretation. Use these tools together to improve
timing and reduce false signals in your trading
