Impulse Trend Levels [BOSWaves]Impulse Trend Levels - Momentum-Adaptive Trend Detection with Impulse-Driven Confidence Bands
Overview
Impulse Trend Levels is a momentum-aware trend identification system that tracks directional price movement through adaptive confidence bands, where band width dynamically adjusts based on impulse strength and freshness to reflect real-time conviction in the current trend direction.
Instead of relying on fixed moving average crossovers or static band multipliers, trend state, band positioning, and zone thickness are determined through impulse detection patterns, exponential decay modeling, and volatility-normalized momentum measurement.
This creates dynamic trend boundaries that reflect actual momentum intensity rather than arbitrary technical levels - contracting during fresh impulse conditions when trend conviction is high, expanding during impulse decay periods when directional confidence weakens, and incorporating momentum freshness calculations to reveal whether trends are accelerating or deteriorating.
Price is therefore evaluated relative to bands that adapt to momentum state rather than conventional static thresholds.
Conceptual Framework
Impulse Trend Levels is founded on the principle that meaningful trend signals emerge when price momentum intensity reaches significant thresholds relative to recent volatility rather than when price simply crosses moving averages.
Traditional trend-following methods identify directional changes through price-indicator crossovers, which often ignore the underlying momentum dynamics and conviction levels that sustain those moves. This framework replaces static-threshold logic with impulse-driven band construction informed by actual momentum strength and decay characteristics.
Three core principles guide the design:
Trend direction should be determined by volatility-normalized momentum breaches, not simple price crossovers alone.
Band width must adapt to impulse freshness, reflecting real-time confidence in the current trend.
Momentum decay modeling reveals whether trends are maintaining strength or losing conviction.
This shifts trend analysis from static indicator levels into adaptive, momentum-anchored confidence boundaries.
Theoretical Foundation
The indicator combines exponential moving average smoothing, mean absolute deviation measurement, impulse detection methodology, and exponential decay tracking.
An EMA-based trend baseline provides directional reference, while Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) offers volatility-normalized scaling for momentum measurement. Impulse detection identifies significant price movements relative to recent volatility, triggering fresh momentum readings that decay exponentially over time. Band multipliers interpolate between tight and wide settings based on calculated impulse freshness.
Four internal systems operate in tandem:
Trend Baseline Engine : Computes EMA-smoothed price levels for directional reference and band anchoring.
Volatility Measurement System : Calculates MAD to provide adaptive scaling that normalizes momentum across varying market conditions.
Impulse Detection Logic : Identifies volatility-normalized price movements exceeding threshold levels, capturing momentum intensity and direction.
Decay-Based Confidence Modeling : Applies exponential decay to impulse readings, converting raw momentum into time-weighted freshness metrics that drive band adaptation.
This design allows trend confidence to reflect actual momentum behavior rather than reacting mechanically to price formations.
How It Works
Impulse Trend Levels evaluates price through a sequence of momentum-aware processes:
Baseline Calculation : EMA smoothing of open and close creates a directional trend reference that filters short-term noise.
Volatility Normalization : MAD calculation over a specified lookback provides dynamic scaling for momentum measurement.
Raw Impulse Detection : Price change over impulse lookback divided by MAD creates volatility-normalized momentum readings.
Threshold-Based Activation : When normalized momentum exceeds threshold (1.0), impulse registers with absolute magnitude and directional sign.
Exponential Decay Application : Between impulse events, stored impulse value decays exponentially via configurable decay rate.
Freshness Conversion : Decaying impulse transforms into freshness metric (0-100%) representing current momentum conviction.
Adaptive Band Construction : Band multiplier interpolates between minimum (fresh) and maximum (stale) settings based on freshness, then scales MAD to determine band width.
Trend State Logic : Price crossing above upper band triggers bullish state; crossing below lower band triggers bearish state; state persists until opposite breach.
Signal Generation : Trend state switches from bearish to bullish produce buy signals; bullish to bearish switches produce sell signals.
Retest Identification : Price touching inner band edge after signal buffer period marks retests, with cooldown periods preventing excessive plotting.
Together, these elements form a continuously updating trend framework anchored in momentum reality.
Interpretation
Impulse Trend Levels should be interpreted as momentum-anchored trend confidence boundaries:
Bullish Trend State (Cyan) : Established when price closes above adaptive upper band, indicating upward momentum breach with associated confidence level.
Bearish Trend State (Magenta) : Established when price closes below adaptive lower band, signaling downward momentum breach with directional conviction.
Trend Cloud : Visual gradient zone displays between outer and inner band edges, with opacity reflecting current trend state and confidence.
Band Width Dynamics : Tighter bands indicate fresh impulse (high confidence), wider bands indicate impulse decay (reduced confidence).
▲ Buy Signals : Green upward triangles mark bullish trend state initiations at crossovers above upper band.
▼ Sell Signals : Red downward triangles mark bearish trend state initiations at crossovers below lower band.
✦ Retest Markers : Small diamonds identify price retouching inner band edge after sufficient buffer period from initial signal.
Retest Extension Lines : Horizontal projections from retest points extend forward, marking potential support/resistance levels.
Colored Candles : Optional bar coloring reflects current trend state for immediate visual reference. Note: The original chart candles must be disabled in chart settings for the trend-colored candles to display properly.
Impulse freshness, band width dynamics, and momentum normalization outweigh isolated price movements.
Signal Logic & Visual Cues
Impulse Trend Levels presents two primary interaction signals:
Buy Signal (▲) : Green label appears when trend state switches from bearish to bullish via upper band crossover, suggesting momentum shift to upside.
Sell Signal (▼) : Red label displays when trend state switches from bullish to bearish via lower band crossunder, indicating momentum shift to downside.
Retest detection provides secondary confirmation when price revisits inner band boundaries after signal buffer cooldown expires.
Alert generation covers trend state switches (long/short), retest occurrences, and impulse freshness decay below 50% threshold for systematic monitoring.
Strategy Integration
Impulse Trend Levels fits within momentum-informed and adaptive trend-following approaches:
Momentum-Confirmed Entries : Use band crossovers as high-probability trend initiation points where volatility-normalized momentum exceeded threshold.
Freshness-Based Position Sizing : Scale exposure based on impulse freshness - larger positions during fresh impulse periods, reduced sizing as impulse decays.
Band-Width Risk Management : Expect wider price ranges when bands expand during decay, tighter ranges when bands contract during fresh impulse.
Retest-Based Re-entry : Use inner band retests as lower-risk entry opportunities within established trends after initial signal cooldown.
Cloud-Aligned Directional Bias : Favor trades aligning with current trend state rather than counter-trend positions.
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Confirmation : Apply higher-timeframe impulse trend state to filter lower-timeframe entry precision.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : EMA-based baseline with MAD volatility measurement
Impulse Model : Volatility-normalized momentum detection with directional sign capture
Decay System : Exponential decay application (0.8-0.99 range) with freshness conversion
Band Construction : Linear interpolation between min/max multipliers scaled by MAD
Visualization : Gradient-filled cloud zones with bar coloring and signal labels
Signal Logic : State-switch detection with retest buffer and cooldown mechanisms
Performance Profile : Optimized for real-time execution across all timeframes
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Micro-trend detection for scalping with responsive impulse settings
15 - 60 min : Intraday momentum tracking with balanced decay characteristics
4H - Daily : Swing-level trend identification with sustained impulse persistence
Suggested Baseline Configuration:
Trend Length : 19
Impulse Lookback : 5
Decay Rate : 0.99
MAD Length : 20
Band Min (Fresh) : 1.5
Band Max (Stale) : 1.9
Signal Buffer Period : 10
Show Trend Cloud : Enabled
Color Bars : Enabled (requires disabling original chart candles in chart settings)
Show Buy/Sell Signals : Enabled
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset's volatility profile, momentum characteristics, and preferred signal frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Parameter Calibration Notes
Use the following adjustments to refine behavior without altering the core logic:
Excessive signal noise : Increase Trend Length to demand smoother baseline crossovers or increase Impulse Lookback for less reactive momentum detection.
Missed momentum shifts : Decrease Impulse Lookback to capture shorter-term momentum changes or reduce Decay Rate to allow faster impulse fade.
Bands too tight/wide : Adjust Band Min and Band Max multipliers to modify confidence zone thickness across freshness spectrum.
Impulse decays too quickly : Increase Decay Rate toward 0.99 to sustain impulse readings longer between fresh events.
Impulse decays too slowly : Decrease Decay Rate toward 0.8 for faster momentum fade and more frequent band expansion.
Unstable volatility scaling : Increase MAD Length to smooth volatility measurement and reduce sensitivity to short-term spikes.
Too many retest markers : Increase retest cooldown period (55 bars hardcoded) or increase Signal Buffer Period to space out signals.
Adjustments should be incremental and evaluated across multiple session types rather than isolated market conditions.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending markets with clear momentum phases and directional persistence
Instruments with consistent volatility characteristics where MAD scaling normalizes effectively
Momentum continuation strategies entering on fresh impulse signals
Trend-following approaches benefiting from adaptive confidence measurement
Reduced Effectiveness:
Choppy, range-bound markets with frequent whipsaw crossovers
Extremely low volatility environments where impulse threshold becomes difficult to breach
News-driven or gapped markets with discontinuous momentum patterns
Mean-reversion dominant conditions where momentum breaches quickly reverse
Consolidation and sideways price action where trend-following methodologies inherently struggle due to lack of sustained directional movement
Integration Guidelines
Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves structure, volume analysis, or traditional trend indicators
Freshness Respect : Trust signals occurring during high impulse freshness periods with contracted bands
Decay Awareness : Reduce position sizing or tighten stops as impulse decays and bands widen
Retest Utilization : Treat inner band retests as continuation confirmation rather than reversal signals
State Discipline : Maintain directional bias aligned with current trend state until opposite band breach occurs

PSAR Laboratory [DAFE]PSAR Laboratory : The Ultimate Adaptive Trailing Stop & Reversal Engine
23 Advanced Algorithms. Adaptive Acceleration. Smart Flip Logic. Parabolic SAR Reimagined.
█ PHILOSOPHY: WELCOME TO THE LABORATORY
The standard Parabolic SAR, created by the legendary J. Welles Wilder Jr., is a tool of beautiful simplicity. But in today's complex, algorithm-driven markets, its simplicity is its fatal flaw. Its fixed acceleration and rigid flip logic cause it to fail precisely when you need it most: it whipsaws in choppy conditions and gives back too much profit in strong trends.
The PSAR Laboratory was not created to be just another PSAR. It was engineered to be the definitive evolution of Wilder's original concept. This is not an indicator; it is a powerful, interactive research environment. It is a sandbox where you, the trader, can move beyond the static "one-size-fits-all" approach and forge a PSAR that is perfectly adapted to your specific market, timeframe, and trading style.
We have deconstructed the very DNA of the Parabolic SAR and rebuilt it from the ground up, infusing it with modern quantitative techniques. The result is an institutional-grade suite of 23 distinct, mathematically diverse algorithms that dynamically control every aspect of the PSAR's behavior.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS A "LABORATORY"? THE CORE INNOVATIONS
This tool stands in a class of its own. It is a collection of what could be 23 separate indicators, all seamlessly integrated into one powerful engine.
The 23 Algorithm Engine: This is the heart of the Laboratory. Instead of one rigid formula, you have a library of 23 unique mathematical engines at your command. These algorithms are not simple tweaks; they are complete re-imaginings of how the PSAR should behave, based on concepts from information theory, digital signal processing, fractal geometry, and institutional analysis.
Truly Adaptive Acceleration (AF): The standard PSAR's "gas pedal" (the AF) is dumb; it accelerates at a fixed rate. Our algorithms make it intelligent. The AF can now speed up in clean, trending environments to lock in profits, and automatically slow down in choppy, chaotic conditions to avoid whipsaws.
Advanced Flip Confirmation Logic: Say goodbye to noise-driven flips. You are no longer at the mercy of a single wick touching the SAR. The Laboratory provides multiple layers of flip confirmation, including requiring a bar close beyond the SAR, a volume spike to validate the reversal, or even a multi-bar confirmation .
Comprehensive Noise Filtering Core: In a revolutionary step, you can apply one of over 30 advanced signal processing filters directly to the SAR output itself. From ultra-low-lag filters like the Hull MA and DAFE Spectral Laguerre to adaptive filters like KAMA and FRAMA , you can surgically remove noise while preserving the responsiveness of the core signal.
Integrated Performance Engine: How do you know which of the 23 algorithms is best for your market? You test it. The built-in Performance Dashboard is a comprehensive backtesting and analytics engine that tracks every trade, providing real-time data on Win Rate, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, and more. It allows you to scientifically validate your chosen configuration.
█ A GUIDED TOUR OF THE ALGORITHMS: 23 PATHS TO AN EDGE
b]These 23 algorithms are not simple settings; they are distinct mathematical philosophies for how a Parabolic SAR should adapt to the market. They are grouped into three primary categories: those that adapt the Acceleration Factor (AF) , those that enhance the Extreme Point (EP) detection, and those that redefine the Flip Logic .
CATEGORY A: ACCELERATION FACTOR (AF) ADAPTATION
These algorithms dynamically change the "gas pedal" of the PSAR.
1. Volatility-Scaled AF
Core Concept: Treats volatility as market friction. The PSAR should be more forgiving in high-volatility environments.
How It Works: It calculates a Volatility Ratio by comparing the short-term ATR to the long-term ATR. If current volatility is high (ratio > 1), it reduces the AF Step. If volatility is low (ratio < 1), it increases the AF Step to trail tighter.
Ideal Use Case: The best all-rounder. Excellent for any market, especially those with clear shifts between high and low volatility regimes (like indices and crypto).
2. Efficiency Ratio (ER) AF
Core Concept: The PSAR should accelerate aggressively in clean, efficient trends and slow down dramatically in choppy, inefficient markets.
How It Works: It uses Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio (ER), which measures the net directional movement versus the total price movement. A high ER (near 1.0) signifies a pure trend, triggering a high AF multiplier. A low ER (near 0.0) signifies chop, triggering a low AF multiplier.
Ideal Use Case: Markets that alternate between strong trends and sideways chop. It is exceptionally good at surviving ranging periods.
3. Shannon Entropy AF
Core Concept: Uses Information Theory to measure market disorder. The PSAR should be conservative in chaos and aggressive in order.
How It Works: It calculates the Shannon Entropy of recent price changes. High entropy means the market is unpredictable ("chaotic"), causing the AF to slow down. Low entropy means the market is organized and trending, causing the AF to speed up.
Ideal Use Case: Advanced traders looking for a mathematically pure way to distinguish between a tradable trend and random noise.
4. Fractal Dimension (FD) AF
Core Concept: Measures the "jaggedness" or complexity of the price path. A smooth path is a trend; a jagged, space-filling path is chop.
How It Works: It calculates the Fractal Dimension of the price series. An FD near 1.0 is a smooth line (high AF). An FD near 1.5 is a random walk (low AF).
Ideal Use Case: Visually identifying the moment a smooth trend begins to break down into chaotic, unpredictable movement.
5. ADX-Gated AF
Core Concept: Uses the classic ADX indicator to confirm the presence of a trend before allowing the PSAR to accelerate.
How It Works: If the ADX value is above a "Strong" threshold (e.g., 25), the AF accelerates normally. If the ADX is below a "Weak" threshold (e.g., 15), the AF is "frozen" and will not increase, preventing the SAR from tightening up in a non-trending market.
Ideal Use Case: For classic trend-following purists who trust the ADX as their primary regime filter.
6. Kalman AF Estimator
Core Concept: A sophisticated signal processing algorithm that predicts the "true" optimal AF by filtering out price "noise."
How It Works: It treats the PSAR's AF as a state to be estimated. It makes a prediction, then corrects it based on how far the actual price deviates. It's like a GPS constantly refining its position. The "Process Noise" input controls how fast it thinks the AF can change, while "Measurement Noise" controls how much it trusts the price data.
Ideal Use Case: Smooth, high-inertia markets like commodities or major forex pairs. It creates an incredibly smooth and responsive AF.
7. Volume-Momentum AF
Core Concept: A trend's acceleration is only valid if confirmed by both volume and price momentum.
How It Works: The AF will only increase if a new Extreme Point is made on above-average volume AND the Rate of Change (ROC) of the price is aligned with the trend's direction.
Ideal Use Case: Any market with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto). It's excellent for filtering out low-conviction moves.
8. Garman-Klass (GK) AF
Core Concept: Uses a more advanced, statistically efficient measure of volatility (Garman-Klass, which uses OHLC data) to adapt the AF.
How It Works: It modulates the AF based on whether the current GK volatility is higher or lower than its historical average. Unlike the standard Volatility-Scaled algo, it tends to slow down more in high volatility and speed up less in low volatility, making it more conservative.
Ideal Use Case: Traders who want a volatility-adaptive model that is more focused on risk reduction during volatile periods.
9. RSI-Modulated AF
Core Concept: The RSI can identify points of potential trend exhaustion or strong momentum.
How It Works: If a trend is bullish but the RSI enters the "Overbought" zone, the AF slows down, anticipating a pullback. Conversely, if the RSI is in the strong momentum mid-range (40-60), the AF is boosted to trail more aggressively.
Ideal Use Case: Mean-reversion traders or those who want to automatically loosen their trail stop near potential exhaustion points.
10. Bollinger Squeeze AF
Core Concept: A Bollinger Band Squeeze signals a period of volatility compression, often preceding an explosive breakout.
How It Works: When the algorithm detects that the Bollinger Band Width is in a "Squeeze" (below a certain historical percentile), it boosts the AF in anticipation of a fast move, allowing the PSAR to catch the breakout quickly.
Ideal Use Case: Breakout traders. This algorithm primes the PSAR to be maximally responsive right at the moment a breakout is most likely.
11. Keltner Adaptive AF
Core Concept: Keltner Channels provide a robust measure of a trend's "normal" volatility channel.
How It Works: When price is trading strongly outside the Keltner Channel, it's considered a powerful trend, and the AF is boosted. When price falls back inside the channel, it's considered a consolidation or pullback, and the AF is slowed down.
Ideal Use Case: Trend followers who use channel breakouts as their primary confirmation.
12. Choppiness-Gated AF
Core Concept: Uses the Choppiness Index to quantify whether the market is trending or consolidating.
How It Works: If the Choppiness Index is below the "Trend" threshold (e.g., 38.2), the AF is boosted. If it's above the "Range" threshold (e.g., 61.8), the AF is significantly reduced.
Ideal Use Case: A more responsive alternative to the ADX-Gated algorithm for distinguishing between trending and ranging markets.
13. VIDYA-Style AF
Core Concept: Uses a Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) to create a variable-speed acceleration factor.
How It Works: The absolute value of the CMO is used to create a dynamic smoothing constant. Strong momentum (high absolute CMO) results in a faster, more responsive AF. Weak momentum results in a slower, smoother AF.
Ideal Use Case: Momentum traders who want their trailing stop's speed directly tied to the momentum of the price itself.
14. Hilbert Cycle AF
Core Concept: Uses Ehlers' Hilbert Transform to extract the dominant cycle period of the market and synchronizes the PSAR with it.
How It Works: It dynamically adjusts the AF based on the detected cycle period (shorter cycles = faster AF) and can also modulate it based on the current phase within that cycle (e.g., accelerate faster near cycle tops/bottoms).
Ideal Use Case: Markets with clear cyclical behavior, like commodities and some forex pairs.
CATEGORY B: EXTREME POINT (EP) ENHANCEMENT
These algorithms make the detection of new highs/lows more intelligent.
15. Volume-Weighted EP
Core Concept: A new high or low is more significant if it occurs on high volume.
How It Works: It can be configured to only accept a new EP if the volume on that bar is above average. It can also "weight" the EP by volume, pushing it further out on high-volume bars.
Ideal Use Case: Filtering out weak, low-conviction price probes in markets with reliable volume.
16. Wavelet Filtered EP
Core Concept: Uses wavelet decomposition (a signal processing technique) to separate the underlying trend from high-frequency noise.
How It Works: It calculates a smoothed, wavelet-filtered version of the price. A new EP is only registered if the actual high/low significantly exceeds this smoothed baseline, effectively ignoring minor noise spikes.
Ideal Use Case: Noisy markets where small, insignificant wicks can cause the AF to accelerate prematurely.
17. ATR-Validated EP
Core Concept: A new EP should represent a meaningful move, not just a one-tick poke.
How It Works: It requires a new high/low to exceed the previous EP by a minimum amount, defined as a multiple of the current ATR. This ensures only volatility-significant advances are counted.
Ideal Use Case: A simple, robust way to filter out "noise" EPs and slow down the AF's acceleration in choppy conditions.
18. Statistical EP Filter
Core Concept: A new EP is only valid if the price change that created it is statistically significant.
How It Works: It calculates the Z-Score of the bar's price change relative to recent history. A new EP is only accepted if its Z-Score exceeds a certain threshold (e.g., 1.5 sigma), meaning it was an unusually strong move.
Ideal Use Case: For quantitative traders who want to ensure their trailing stop only tightens in response to statistically meaningful price action.
CATEGORY C: FLIP LOGIC & CONFIRMATION
These algorithms change the very rules of when and why the PSAR reverses.
19. Dual-PSAR Gate
Core Concept: Uses two PSARs—one fast and one slow—to confirm a reversal.
How It Works: A flip signal for the main PSAR is only considered valid if both the fast (sensitive) PSAR and the slow (structural) PSAR have flipped. This acts as a powerful trend filter.
Ideal Use Case: An excellent method for reducing whipsaws. It forces the PSAR to wait for both short-term and longer-term momentum to align before signaling a reversal.
20. MTF Coherence PSAR
Core Concept: Do not flip against the higher timeframe macro trend.
How It Works: It pulls PSAR data from two higher timeframes. A flip is only allowed if the new direction does not contradict the trend on at least one (or both) of those higher timeframes. It also boosts the AF when all timeframes are aligned.
Ideal Use Case: The ultimate tool for multi-timeframe traders who want to ensure their entries and exits are in sync with the bigger picture.
21. Momentum-Gated Flip
Core Concept: A reversal is only valid if it is supported by a significant surge of momentum.
How It Works: A price cross of the SAR is not enough. The script also requires the Rate of Change (ROC) to exceed a certain threshold for a set number of bars, confirming that there is real force behind the reversal.
Ideal Use Case: Filtering out weak, drifting reversals and only taking signals that are initiated with explosive power.
22. Close-Only PSAR
Core Concept: Wicks are noise; the bar's close is the final decision.
How It Works: This algorithm modifies the flip logic to ignore wicks. A flip only occurs if one or more bars close beyond the SAR line.
Ideal Use Case: One of the most effective and simple ways to reduce false signals from volatile wicks. A fantastic default choice for any trader.
23. Ultimate PSAR Consensus
Core Concept: The highest conviction signal comes from the agreement of multiple, diverse mathematical models.
How It Works: This is the capstone algorithm. It runs a "vote" between a selection of the top-performing algorithms (e.g., Volatility-Scaled, Efficiency Ratio, Dual-PSAR). A flip is only signaled if a majority consensus is reached. It can even weight the votes based on each algorithm's recent performance.
Ideal Use Case: For traders who want the absolute highest level of confirmation and are willing to accept fewer, but more robust, signals.
█ PART II: THE NOISE FILTERING CORE - The Shield
This is a revolutionary feature that allows you to apply a second layer of signal processing directly to the SAR line itself, surgically removing noise before the flip logic is even considered.
FILTER CATEGORIES
Basic Filters (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA): The classic moving averages. They provide basic smoothing but introduce significant lag. Best used for educational purposes.
Low-Lag Filters (DEMA, TEMA, Hull MA, ZLEMA): A family of filters designed to reduce the lag inherent in basic moving averages. The Hull MA is a standout, offering a superb balance of smoothness and responsiveness.
Adaptive Filters (KAMA, VIDYA, FRAMA): These are "smart" filters. They automatically adjust their smoothing level based on market conditions. They will be very smooth in choppy markets and become highly responsive in trending markets.
Advanced DSP & DAFE Filters: This is the pinnacle of signal processing.
Ehlers Filters (SuperSmoother, 2-Pole, 3-Pole): Based on the work of John Ehlers, these use digital signal processing techniques to remove high-frequency noise with minimal lag.
Gaussian & ALMA: These use a bell-curve weighting, giving the most importance to recent data in a smooth, non-linear fashion.
DAFE Spectral Laguerre: A proprietary, non-linear filter that uses a feedback loop and adapts its "gamma" based on volatility, providing exceptional tracking in all market conditions.
How to Choose a Filter
Start with "None": First, find an algorithm you like with no filtering to understand its raw behavior.
Introduce Low Lag: If you are getting too many whipsaws from noise, apply a short-length Hull MA (e.g., 5-8). This is often the best solution.
Go Adaptive: If your market has very distinct trend/chop regimes, try an Adaptive KAMA .
Maximum Purity: For the smoothest possible output with excellent responsiveness, use the DAFE Spectral Laguerre or Ehlers SuperSmoother .
█ THE VISUAL EXPERIENCE: DATA AS ART
The PSAR Laboratory is not just functional; it is beautiful. The visualization engine is designed to provide you with an intuitive, at-a-glance understanding of the market's state.
Algorithm-Specific Theming: Each of the 23 algorithms comes with its own unique, professionally designed color palette. This not only provides visual variety but allows you to instantly recognize which engine is active.
Dynamic Glow Effects: For many algorithms, the PSAR dots will emit a soft "glow." The brightness and color of this glow are not random; they are tied to a key metric of the active algorithm (e.g., trend strength, volatility, consensus), providing a subtle, visual cue about the health of the trend.
Adaptive Volatility Bands: Certain algorithms will display dynamic bands around the PSAR. These are not standard deviation bands; their width is controlled by the specific logic of the active algorithm, showing you a visual representation of the market's expected range or energy level.
Secondary Reference Lines: For algorithms like the Dual-PSAR or MTF Coherence, a secondary line will be plotted on the chart, giving you a clear visual of the underlying data (e.g., the slow PSAR, the HTF trend) that is driving the decision-making process.
█ THE MASTER DASHBOARD: YOUR MISSION CONTROL
The comprehensive dashboard is your unified command center for analysis and performance tracking.
Engine Status: See the currently selected Algorithm, the active Noise Filter, the Trend direction, and a real-time progress bar of the current Acceleration Factor (AF).
Algorithm-Specific Metrics: This is the most powerful section. It displays the key real-time data from the currently active algorithm. If you're using "Shannon Entropy," you'll see the Entropy score. If you're using "ADX-Gated," you'll see the ADX value. This gives you a direct, quantitative look under the hood.
Performance Readout: When enabled, this section provides a full breakdown of your backtesting results, including Win Rate, Profit Factor, Net P&L, Max Drawdown, and your current trade status.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
The PSAR Laboratory was born from a deep respect for Wilder's original work and a relentless desire to push it into the 21st century. We believe that in modern markets, static tools are obsolete. The future of trading lies in adaptation. This indicator is for the serious trader, the tinkerer, the scientist—the individual who is not content with a black box, but who seeks to understand, test, and refine their edge with surgical precision. It is a tool for forging, not just following.
The PSAR Laboratory is designed to be the ultimate tool for that evolution, allowing you to discover and codify the rules that truly fit you.
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS A TOOL, NOT A STRATEGY: This indicator provides a sophisticated trailing stop and reversal signal. It must be integrated into a complete trading plan that includes risk management, position sizing, and your own contextual analysis.
TEST, DON'T GUESS: The power of this tool is its adaptability. Use the Performance Dashboard to rigorously test different algorithms and settings on your chosen asset and timeframe. Find what works, and build your strategy around that data.
START SIMPLE: Begin with the "Volatility-Scaled AF" algorithm, as it is a powerful and intuitive all-rounder. Once you are comfortable, begin experimenting with other engines.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. The backtesting results are hypothetical and do not account for slippage or psychological factors. Never risk more capital than you are prepared to lose.
"I don't think traders can follow rules for very long unless they reflect their own trading style. Eventually, a breaking point is reached and the trader has to quit or change, or find a new set of rules he can follow. This seems to be part of the process of evolution and growth of a trader."

Candles and Z-Scores: A Statistical Approach to Market Analysis
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OVERVIEW
This indicator applies Z-Score statistical analysis to measure how unusual current market conditions are compared to historical norms. It simultaneously analyzes five key metrics: Price, Total Volume, Buy Volume, Sell Volume, and Delta (Buy minus Sell) . The system detects 60 academically-researched market scenarios and provides visual feedback through Z-Lines (support/resistance levels), Event Markers, Trend Channels, and a comprehensive Dashboard.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CORE CONCEPT: WHY Z-SCORE?
A Z-Score measures how many standard deviations a value is from its mean. In financial markets, extreme Z-Scores indicate statistically rare events that often precede significant price movements.
Mathematical Formula:
Z = (Current Value - Mean) / Standard Deviation
Interpretation:
• Z ≥ +2.0: Extremely high (occurs approximately 2.5% of the time)
• Z ≥ +1.0: Above average
• Z ≈ 0: Normal (near the mean)
• Z ≤ -1.0: Below average
• Z ≤ -2.0: Extremely low (occurs approximately 2.5% of the time)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ACADEMIC FOUNDATION
This indicator is inspired by / grounded in market microstructure literature (abbreviated citations in-script) from market microstructure literature:
• Price-Volume Relationship - Karpoff (1987), Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Cambridge
Volume is positively correlated with price change magnitude
• Order Flow Imbalance - Cont, Kukanov, Stoikov (2014), Journal of Financial Econometrics
Order imbalance drives price more reliably than raw volume
• Informed Trading (PIN Model) - Easley, Kiefer, O'Hara, Paperman (1996), Journal of Finance
Buy/Sell imbalance reveals informed trader activity
• Mixture of Distributions - Tauchen & Pitts (1983), Clark (1973)
Volume clusters with volatility regimes
• Volume Predictability - Gervais, Kaniel, Mingelgrin (2001)
Volume shocks predict future returns
• Liquidity & Order Imbalance - Chordia, Roll, Subrahmanyam (2002)
Order imbalance affects short-term returns
• Volume-Return Dynamics - Llorente, Michaely, Saar, Wang (2002)
Speculation vs. risk-sharing patterns
• Reversal vs. Continuation - Campbell, Grossman, Wang (MIT)
High volume predicts lower autocorrelation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
VOLUME ENGINE
The indicator offers two methods for decomposing total volume into Buy and Sell components:
Method 1: Geometry (Approximation)
Uses candle structure to estimate buying and selling pressure:
Buy Volume = Total Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
Sell Volume = Total Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low)
• Works on all instruments without additional data requirements
• Fast calculation
• Less precise than intrabar method
Method 2: Intrabar (Precise)
Uses Lower Timeframe (LTF) tick/second data to aggregate actual up-ticks versus down-ticks:
• More accurate volume decomposition
• Requires LTF data availability
• Configurable LTF: 1T (tick), 1S, 15S, 1M
Delta Calculation:
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Z-SCORE SYSTEM
The system calculates Z-Scores for five metrics simultaneously, using a configurable lookback period (default: 20 bars):
• Zp (Price Z-Score): Measures price deviation from its mean
• Zv (Volume Z-Score): Measures total volume deviation
• Zbuy (Buy Volume Z-Score): Measures buying pressure deviation
• Zsell (Sell Volume Z-Score): Measures selling pressure deviation
• ZΔ (Delta Z-Score): Measures order flow imbalance deviation
Threshold Constants:
• ZH (Z High) = 2.0: Extreme threshold
• ZM (Z Medium) = 1.0: Moderate threshold
• Z0 (Z Zero) = 0.5: Near-zero threshold
Group System:
The analysis window is divided into groups (default: 5 groups × 20 bars = 100 bar total window). Group numbers (1, 2, 3...) are displayed above candles when enabled, helping identify the relative age of detected levels.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Z-LINES (SUPPORT/RESISTANCE LEVELS)
When any metric reaches an extreme Z-Score, the system marks that price level as a significant support or resistance zone.
Detection Logic:
• Upper Z-Line: Drawn from the HIGH when Z ≥ upper threshold (default +2.0)
• Lower Z-Line: Drawn from the LOW when Z ≤ lower threshold (default -2.0)
Multi-Metric Detection:
Z-Lines can be triggered by any of the five metrics (Price, Volume, Buy, Sell, Delta). When multiple metrics trigger at similar price levels, they are clustered together into a single combined label showing all contributing metrics.
Persistence:
Z-Lines persist for the entire analysis window (Period × Groups bars) and are NOT removed when price touches them. This allows traders to see historical support/resistance levels that may still be relevant.
Anti-Overlap System:
Labels are automatically repositioned to prevent overlap. The "Label Min Gap (%)" setting controls minimum vertical separation between ALL labels (both upper and lower), ensuring readability even when multiple levels cluster together.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EVENT DETECTION ENGINE (60 SCENARIOS)
The system analyzes 60 distinct market scenarios based on Z-Score combinations. Each scenario is derived from academic research and assigned a confidence score based on signal strength and alignment.
Notation:
• Zp = Price Z-Score
• Zv = Total Volume Z-Score
• Zbuy = Buy Volume Z-Score
• Zsell = Sell Volume Z-Score
• ZΔ = Delta Z-Score
• dirP = Price direction (+1 if Zp > 0.5, -1 if Zp < -0.5, else 0)
• = Previous bar value
• ZH = 2.0 (High threshold)
• ZM = 1.0 (Medium threshold)
• Z0 = 0.5 (Zero threshold)

TREND CHANNEL SYSTEM
The trend channel system is adapted from Smart Trader Episode 03 to provide consistent visual context for price action analysis.
How It Works:
• Divides the chart into blocks based on Z-Score groups
• Calculates OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) for each block
• Detects Higher Highs/Higher Lows (uptrend) or Lower Highs/Lower Lows (downtrend) patterns
• Draws channel lines connecting block extremes
• Classifies by angle: steep angles indicate trends, flat angles indicate ranges
Channel Classifications:
• UPTREND: Higher highs and higher lows detected
• DOWNTREND: Lower highs and lower lows detected
• RANGE: Channel angle below threshold (default 10 degrees)
Label Information:
• Trend direction (UPTREND/DOWNTREND/RANGE)
• Channel boundary prices
• Distance from current price (absolute and percentage)
• Channel angle in degrees
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DASHBOARD
The dashboard provides a comprehensive real-time view of all Z-Score metrics and detected events.
Dashboard Sections:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DATA ACCURACY AND LIMITATIONS
This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED and requires Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data for accurate calculations when using the Intrabar method.
Data Accuracy Levels:
• 1T (Tick): Most accurate, real volume distribution per tick
• 1S (1 Second): Reasonably accurate approximation
• 15S (15 Seconds): Good approximation, longer historical data available
• 1M (1 Minute): Rough approximation, maximum historical data range
Backtest and Replay Limitations:
• Replay mode results may differ from live trading due to data availability
• For longer backtest periods, use higher LTF settings (15S or 1M)
• Not all symbols/exchanges support tick-level data
• Crypto and Forex typically have better LTF data availability than stocks
A Note on Data Access:
Higher TradingView plans provide access to more historical intrabar data, which directly impacts the accuracy of volume-based calculations. More precise volume data leads to more reliable calculations.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LANGUAGE SUPPORT (TRI-LINGUAL UI)
This indicator includes a built-in language switch with three interface languages :
• English (EN)
• Türkçe (TR)
• 한국어 (KO)
The selected language updates key interface text such as the Dashboard headers/rows , tooltips , and the Event Engine outputs (event names, category names, and direction labels). Turkish diacritics and Korean Hangul are supported for clean, native readability.
Why only three languages?
Each additional language requires duplicating strings throughout the code, which increases script size/memory usage and compilation time. To keep the indicator optimized and responsive, language options are intentionally limited to three.

MA-trix Laboratory [DAFE]MA-trix Laboratory : The Ultimate Moving Average & Trend Following Engine
55+ Algorithms. Dual/Triple MA Systems. Advanced Signal Filtering. Quantum Smoothing. This is not just a moving average; it is the definitive toolkit for forging your perfect trend.
█ PHILOSOPHY: WELCOME TO THE LABORATORY
The moving average is the cornerstone of technical analysis. It is also, in its standard form, an obsolete, one-dimensional tool. A simple EMA or SMA is a blunt instrument in a market that demands surgical precision. It lags, it whipsaws, and it fails to adapt to the market's ever-changing character.
The MA-trix Laboratory was not created to be another moving average. It was engineered to be the final word on moving averages—a comprehensive, institutional-grade research and execution environment. This is not an indicator; it is a powerful, interactive sandbox where you, the trader, can move beyond the static "one-size-fits-all" approach. Here, you can experiment, test, and forge a moving average system that is perfectly synchronized with your specific market, timeframe, and analytical style.
We have deconstructed the very concept of "average" and rebuilt it from the ground up, creating a library of over 55 distinct mathematical algorithms —from timeless classics to proprietary quantum models—all housed within a single, unified, and infinitely configurable engine.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS A "LABORATORY"? THE CORE INNOVATIONS
This tool stands in a class of its own, offering a suite of features that collectively create an unparalleled analytical experience.
The 55+ Algorithm MA Core: This is the heart of the Laboratory. You are not limited to one or two MA types. You have a vast library of over 55 unique mathematical engines at your command, from classical SMAs to advanced adaptive algorithms like KAMA and FRAMA, to proprietary DAFE models like the "DAFE Flux Reactor" and "DAFE Quantum Step."
Multi-MA Architecture: Seamlessly switch between Single, Dual, and Triple MA operational modes. Build classic two-line crossover systems, three-line trend alignment confirmations, or beautiful, flowing ribbons with just a single click.
Advanced Post-Smoothing Engine: In a revolutionary step, you can apply a second layer of signal processing to your chosen MA. Select from a suite of over 20 professional-grade noise filters —including Ehlers' SuperSmoother, Kalman Filters, and the proprietary "DAFE Phase-Zero"—to surgically remove noise from your MA line after it has been calculated, achieving unprecedented smoothness without significant lag.
The Institutional Signal Filtering Suite: A signal is only as good as its filter. The Laboratory includes a powerful, multi-domain filter engine that acts as an intelligent gatekeeper for your signals. You can require signals to be confirmed by any combination of:
📦 Volume: Require a surge in volume to validate a crossover.
🌊 Volatility: Only take signals during low-volatility "squeeze" conditions or high-volatility expansions.
💪 Trend: Use the ADX to ensure you are only taking signals in the direction of a strong, established trend.
🚀 Momentum: Use RSI, MACD, or ROC to confirm that momentum is on your side.
Integrated Performance Engine: How do you know which of the 55+ algorithms is best? You test it. The built-in Performance Dashboard is a comprehensive backtesting engine that tracks every trade generated by your configuration, providing real-time data on Win Rate, Profit Factor, Net P&L, and Max Drawdown.
█ THE ARSENAL: A DEEP DIVE INTO THE ALGORITHMIC CORE
This is your library of mathematical DNA. The 55+ MA types are grouped into distinct families, each with a unique philosophy.
THE ALGORITHM FAMILIES
The Classics (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.): The foundational building blocks. Simple, reliable, and universally understood. EMA for responsiveness, SMA for smoothness.
The Low-Lag Warriors (DEMA, TEMA, Hull MA, ZLEMA): A family of MAs engineered specifically to combat the inherent lag of classical averages. The Hull MA is a standout, offering a remarkable balance of extreme smoothness and near-zero lag.
The Adaptive Geniuses (KAMA, VIDYA, FRAMA, Volatility Adjusted MA): These are "smart" MAs. They contain internal logic that allows them to automatically change their speed based on market conditions. They will tighten up in fast-moving trends and loosen in sideways chop, intelligently filtering out noise.
The DSP & Quantitative Masters (Gaussian, Ehlers, Butterworth, Laguerre): These algorithms are born from the world of digital signal processing and advanced mathematics. They use sophisticated techniques like bell-curve weighting, non-linear feedback loops, and frequency filtering to separate the true trend "signal" from market "noise" with unparalleled precision.
The DAFE Proprietary Engines (The "Black Ops" MAs): The crown jewels of the Laboratory. These are custom-built, proprietary algorithms you will not find anywhere else:
DAFE Flux Reactor: A volatility-thermodynamic MA that adapts its alpha using a sigmoid function on Bollinger Band width, creating explosive responsiveness during volatility breakouts.
DAFE Tensor Flow: A multi-vector MA that uses a weighted average of the OHLC data (a "tensor") before applying Hull smoothing, creating an incredibly robust center of gravity.
DAFE Quantum Step: A non-linear, stepped MA that only moves if price exceeds a volatility-based quantum threshold, effectively ignoring all insignificant noise.
DAFE Gravity Well: An institutionally-focused MA that weights its calculation by both time (recency) and volume, pulling the average towards zones of heavy market participation.
THE POST-SMOOTHING FILTERS
This is a second layer of refinement. After your primary MA is calculated, you can pass it through one of over 20 advanced filters to achieve an even higher degree of clarity.
The Ehlers Filters (SuperSmoother, 2-Pole, 3-Pole): A suite of brilliant DSP filters for surgical noise removal.
The Kalman Filter: A predictive filter from robotics and aerospace engineering that provides an "optimal estimate" of the MA's true position.
DAFE Proprietary Smoothers:
DAFE Phase-Zero: Uses a de-trending feedback loop to achieve near-zero lag smoothing.
DAFE Spectral Smooth: A frequency-domain filter that removes jitter while preserving the primary trend.
█ OPERATIONAL MODES & SIGNAL GENERATION
The Laboratory is designed for ultimate flexibility.
Modes: Instantly switch between Single, Dual, and Triple MA modes. Each mode can be a standard line display or a beautiful, flowing Ribbon .
Signal Logic: You have complete control over what constitutes a "signal." Choose from nine different logic modes, including classic Price Cross , Dual MA Cross , Triple MA Alignment , or even advanced logic like Slope Change and Sequential Cross .
The Filter Gauntlet: Before a signal is plotted, it can be passed through the four-stage filtering suite. You can demand that a simple EMA crossover is also confirmed by high volume, ADX trend strength, and bullish RSI—all at the same time. This transforms a basic signal into a high-conviction, multi-factor setup.
█ THE MASTER DASHBOARD: YOUR MISSION CONTROL
The comprehensive dashboard is your unified command center for analysis and performance tracking.
Engine Status: See the currently selected Operation Mode and a detailed breakdown of the type and length of each active MA.
Market Dynamics: Get an at-a-glance view of the current Trend Status, Momentum intensity (based on MA slope), and the percentage deviation of price from your primary MA.
Filter Readout: If filters are enabled, the dashboard provides a live status for each active filter (Volume, Volatility, Trend, Momentum), showing you a "PASS" or "BLOCK" status in real-time.
Performance Readout: When enabled, this section provides a full breakdown of your backtesting results, including Trade Count, Win Rate, Profit Factor, Net P&L, and Max Drawdown.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
The MA-trix Laboratory was born from a deep respect for the moving average and a relentless desire to push its boundaries into the 21st century. We believe that in modern markets, static tools are obsolete. The future of trading lies in adaptation and customization. This indicator is for the serious trader, the tinkerer, the scientist—the individual who is not content with a black box, but who seeks to understand, test, and refine their edge with surgical precision. It is a tool for forging your own alpha, not just following someone else's.
"I don't think traders can follow rules for very long unless they reflect their own trading style. Eventually, a breaking point is reached and the trader has to quit or change, or find a new set of rules he can follow. This seems to be part of the process of evolution and growth of a trader."
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS A TOOL, NOT A STRATEGY: This indicator provides a sophisticated trend and signal generation framework. It must be integrated into a complete trading plan that includes risk management, position sizing, and your own contextual analysis.
TEST, DON'T GUESS: The power of this tool is its adaptability. Use the Performance Dashboard to rigorously test different algorithms, settings, and filters on your chosen asset and timeframe. Find what works, and build your strategy around that data.
START SIMPLE: The possibilities can be overwhelming. Begin with a classic Dual MA mode (e.g., EMA 20/50) with no filters. Once you are comfortable, begin experimenting with more advanced MA types and layering on filters one by one.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. The backtesting results are hypothetical and do not account for slippage or psychological factors.
Never risk more capital than you are prepared to lose.
— Ed Seykota, Market Wizard
The MA-trix Laboratory is designed to be the ultimate tool for that evolution, allowing you to discover and codify the rules that truly fit you.

Kalman Hull Bands For Loop | RakoQuant Kalman Hull Bands For Loop | RakoQuant
RakoQuant | Kalman Hull Bands For Loop is a trend-following breakout + regime tool built to keep you on the right side of the market with clean structure and minimal noise. It combines a Kalman Filter (noise reduction), a Hull Moving Average baseline (responsive trend anchor), and a standard deviation envelope computed via a for-loop (robust rail bands) to define actionable bullish and bearish regimes.
What it does
This indicator builds a dynamic “rail system” around price:
Kalman Filtered Source → reduces measurement noise in the input series.
Hull Baseline (HMA) → fast trend baseline built on the Kalman-filtered source.
Deviation Bands (“Rails”) → upper/lower rails based on a loop-calculated standard deviation.
Regime Breakout Logic → trend regime flips only when price breaks out beyond the rails:
Bullish regime when close crosses above the upper rail
Bearish regime when close crosses below the lower rail
Once a regime is established, the tool highlights the active rail in bright neon and fades the inactive rail (optional), giving you a clear “trend corridor” and a strong visual state.
Key Features
1) Kalman Noise Filtering (R & Q)
The Kalman filter smooths the selected source using:
R (Measurement Noise) – how noisy you assume the observations are
Q (Process Noise) – how quickly the model is allowed to adapt
This helps reduce chop without turning the indicator into a laggy moving average.
2) Hull Baseline (fast + smooth)
The baseline is a Hull Moving Average applied to the Kalman-filtered source:
responsive in trend,
cleaner during transitions,
ideal for breakout regime detection.
3) Deviation Envelope with Two Modes
Deviation rails are calculated using a for-loop standard deviation (population stdev), with two choices:
Residual vs Baseline (default): deviation of (src - baseline)
→ focuses on “distance from fair value” instead of raw price volatility
Raw Source: deviation of the source itself
→ classic volatility envelope behavior
Then bands are formed by:
upper = baseline + mult * sd
lower = baseline - mult * sd
4) Regime Rails + Candle Painting (RakoQuant Neon)
Bull regime: active lower rail plotted in Neon Aqua
Bear regime: active upper rail plotted in Neon Magenta
Candles are painted to match the current state (optional)
Inactive rails can be shown faintly for context.
5) Alerts for Breakouts
Built-in alerts trigger exactly on regime flips:
Bull Breakout (close crosses above upper rail)
Bear Breakout (close crosses below lower rail)
How to Use It
Trend-following approach
Stay with the active regime until a breakout flip occurs.
In bull regime, the lower rail behaves like an adaptive trend support guide.
In bear regime, the upper rail behaves like an adaptive trend resistance guide.
Breakout confirmation
Use the breakout as a confirmation layer with your other confluences:
take longs only after a bull breakout,
take shorts only after a bear breakout,
filter mean-reversion trades by the regime state.
Inputs Summary
Source: select what the model tracks (default: high)
Kalman: R / Q controls smoothing vs responsiveness
Baseline: Hull length
Deviation: loop length, mode (Residual vs Baseline / Raw Source), multiplier
Visuals: candle painting, baseline visibility, inactive rails

Trend Line & Delta Montosca [English v33.7]This indicator, Trend Line & Delta Montosca , is a high-precision tool designed to identify institutional entry points by combining price action structure with real-time volume sentiment (Order Flow).
Here is a breakdown of its core logic and operational flow:
1. Market Structure & Trendline Analysis
The indicator starts by identifying "Pivot Highs" and "Pivot Lows" based on the Sensitivity settings you chose.
Pivot Connect Method: It draws trendlines connecting these key structural points. A "Long" bias is established when a trendline is broken to the upside, and a "Short" bias when broken to the downside.
BOS (Break of Structure): It monitors when the price closes above the previous high or below the previous low to confirm the current market phase (Bullish or Bearish).
2. Intermarket Synchronization (ES + NQ)
This is a unique "Institutional" filter. The script checks a secondary symbol (e.g., NQ if you are trading ES) to ensure the move is happening across the entire market.
If both instruments hit a pivot at the same time, the trendline is drawn thicker, indicating higher institutional conviction.
3. Order Flow Validation (Delta)
Breaking a trendline is not enough; it must be backed by "Smart Money" volume. The indicator uses Lower Timeframe (LTF) Intrabar Data to calculate the Delta:
Strength Filter: It checks if the buying/selling volume in a single candle exceeds a specific percentage (set to 75% by default).
Efficiency Filter: It identifies "Absorption" where the price moves aggressively with lower volume, suggesting a lack of resistance.
4. Inverted FVG (Fair Value Gap) Reaction
The final "trigger" is often the reaction to a Fair Value Gap.
The script tracks bearish and bullish FVGs.
The Inversion Logic: A "Long" signal is only validated if the price "inverts" a bearish FVG (closes above it), treating the old resistance as new institutional support.
5. Blue Sky Filter (ATH)
When the price is at an All-Time High (ATH), traditional FVG reactions might not exist. The script includes an optional "Blue Sky" logic that allows for trend-following entries even if there is no previous FVG to invert, as long as the structural breakout and Delta are present.
Visualization Summary
Labels: Clearly mark "LONG" or "SHORT" at the exact candle of entry.
Snapshots: To help you review your trades, the script leaves a "visual footprint" (the trendline and the FVG box) that caused the signal, so you can see the exact institutional context after the trade has moved.
Institutional Alpha Vector | D_QUANT Institutional Alpha Vector | D_QUANT
Overview
The Institutional Alpha Vector (IAV) is an original trend-following framework that replaces single-indicator bias with a Weighted Composite Score . Instead of relying on a simple moving average, this script aggregates four distinct quantitative dimensions—Price, Momentum, Volatility, and Volume—into a normalized value called the "Alpha Vector."
The goal of this tool is to identify "Institutional Consensus"—periods where multiple mathematical models align in the same direction, reducing the likelihood of false breakouts in choppy markets.
How It Works: The Quantitative Engines
The script calculates four independent signals. For each module, a state is stored (1 for Bullish, -1 for Bearish, 0 for Neutral).
1. Price Filter (Hull Moving Average):
The script uses an HMA (a weighted moving average that reduces lag by using the square root of the period). A signal is triggered when the price crosses over/under this "Spine."
2. Volatility Regime (RMA + ATR):
This module uses a Moving Average (RMA) combined with an Average True Range (ATR) offset. It acts as a volatility filter that price must move beyond 1 ATR from the mean to register a trend, ensuring the market isn't just "drifting."
3. Momentum Physics (ADX/DMI):
Based on J. Welles Wilder’s Directional Movement Index. It checks if the is above (or vice versa) but only if the ADX (Average Directional Index) is above a user-defined threshold (default: 10), confirming the presence of a strong trend.
4. Institutional Flow (Chaikin Money Flow):
This confirms price action with volume. It calculates the accumulation/distribution of money flow over a specific period. A signal is only valid if the CMF is positive (Bullish) or negative (Bearish).
The Alpha Vector Calculation
This is the core "originality" of the script. The indicator takes the active modules and calculates a Composite Score :
This results in a value between -1.0 and +1.0 .
* High Confidence Long: When the score exceeds +0.1 (adjustable).
* High Confidence Short: When the score drops below -0.1 (adjustable).
* Neutral Zone: When the score is near 0, the script colors the bars grey, signaling a lack of institutional consensus.
Visual Intelligence: The "Electric Conduit"
The script visualizes market energy through a custom rendering engine:
* The Spine: A central line representing the HMA trend.
* The Conduit (Fill): A dynamic gradient that expands or contracts based on the ATR (Average True Range) . This allows traders to see "volatility expansion" (wide ribbon) vs "compression" (tight ribbon) at a glance.
* Bar Coloring : Automatically aligns the chart candles with the Alpha Vector state to remove cognitive load.
How to Use
1. Define your Strategy: In the settings, you can toggle specific modules. If you are trading a low-volume asset, you might disable the **CMF** module.
2. Identify the Consensus: Look for the ribbon to change from Grey (Neutral) to Cyan/Gold.
3. Monitor the HUD: A small dashboard in the bottom right displays the live Alpha Vector score. A score of 1.0 means all four engines are in 100% bullish agreement.

Cycle & Flow Indicator - D_QuantCycle & Flow Architecture (CFA) | Multi-Factor Regime Analysis
Overview
The Cycle & Flow Architecture (CFA) is a trend-following visualization engine that utilizes a triple-confirmation "Voting Mechanism" to identify market regimes. Rather than relying on a single lagging indicator, the CFA aggregates Cyclical Momentum, Directional Bias, and Volume Flow from the Daily timeframe to provide a unified consensus signal on your current chart.
The goal of this script is to filter market noise by requiring a quantitative agreement between three non-correlated mathematical models before a "Regime Change" is visualized.
The Quantitative Logic
The core of the CFA is its Aggregation Engine, which calculates a normalized Quant Score ranging from -1.0 to +1.0. The engine polls three distinct components:
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC): This component identifies the cyclical nature of price. It applies a double-smoothed stochastic process to a MACD line. In this script, the STC contributes a bullish signal when the cycle is above 25 and a bearish signal when the cycle is below 75 and falling.
Parabolic SAR (PSAR): Used as a rigid directional filter. It calculates the "Stop and Reverse" points, if the price is above the PSAR, it contributes a +1 to the consensus, if below, a -1.
Ease of Movement (EOM): This is the volume-validation component. It analyzes the relationship between price change and volume. A positive EOM suggests price is moving up on light resistance (conviction), while negative EOM suggests easy downward movement.
How it Works: The Voting Mechanism
The script calculates these three values on the Daily (D) timeframe using request.security to ensure higher-timeframe confluence.
Bullish Regime: Triggered when the average score exceeds the Bullish Threshold (Default: 0.2).
Bearish Regime: Triggered when the average score falls below the Bearish Threshold (Default: -0.2).
Neutral Regime: When the components disagree or the scores hover near zero, the engine renders a "Grey" noise state, signaling a high-probability "sit on hands" environment.
How to Use
The Ghost Cloud: The central Hull Moving Average (HMA 20) acts as the baseline. The "cloud" fills between this baseline and the price, colored by the current Score.
Volatility Extensions: The script plots ATR-based bands (14-period) that only appear during confirmed regimes. In a Bullish regime, the upper band appears, in a Bearish regime, the lower.
Trade Execution: Traders typically look for the "Bullish/Bearish Start" alerts to signal the beginning of a new regime and use the "Grey" neutral zones to tighten stop-losses or exit positions.
Settings
Thresholds: Increase the Bullish/Bearish thresholds (e.g., to 0.5) to require more stringent agreement between the STC, PSAR, and EOM.
Timeframe Note: The calculations are hardcoded to the Daily timeframe to provide a "North Star" directional bias regardless of whether you are viewing the 15m or 4h chart.
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only. Quantitative models represent mathematical probabilities, not guarantees.

Keltner-Aroon-EFI FlowKeltner-Aroon-EFI Flow (KAE)
KAE Flow is a quantitative composite indicator designed to identify dominant market trends by fusing three distinct dimensions of price action: Volatility, Trend Age, and Volume Pressure.
Unlike standard indicators that rely on a single data point (like a moving average crossover), KAE Flow aggregates three independent logic engines into a single normalized "Flow" score. This score is then smoothed using an Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) to filter out noise while retaining responsiveness to genuine trend reversals.
This script operates strictly on the current chart timeframe, ensuring all signals are causal, non-repainting, and reliable for real-time analysis.
1. The Quantitative Engine (How it Works)
The indicator polls three separate components. Each component votes "1" (Bullish), "-1" (Bearish), or "0" (Neutral). These votes are averaged to create the raw signal.
K — Keltner Channels (Volatility Dimension)
Concept: Measures volatility expansion.
Logic: The script calculates Keltner Channels using an EMA center line and ATR bands.
Bullish (+1): Price closes above the Upper Channel.
Bearish (-1): Price closes below the Lower Channel.
This component ensures we only trade when price is breaking out of its expected volatility range.
A — Aroon (Trend Age Dimension)
Concept: Measures the strength and "freshness" of a trend.
Logic: We utilize the Aroon Up and Aroon Down metrics.
Bullish (+1): Aroon Up is greater than Aroon Down AND Aroon Up is > 70.
Bearish (-1): Aroon Down is greater than Aroon Up AND Aroon Down > 70.
This filters out weak or aging trends, ensuring the move has mathematical momentum.
E — Elder’s Force Index (Volume Dimension)
Concept: Measures volume-weighted price change.
Logic: We calculate the raw Force Index (Close - Close ) * Volume and smooth it with an EMA.
Bullish (+1): Smoothed EFI > 0.
Bearish (-1): Smoothed EFI < 0.
This component confirms that price movement is supported by actual volume flow (accumulation/distribution).
2. Signal Processing (ALMA Smoothing)
Raw aggregation can be noisy. The composite score is passed through an ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) filter.
Why ALMA? It uses a Gaussian distribution to provide smoothness without the significant lag associated with SMA or EMA. This creates the "Flow" line that resists false flips during choppy consolidation.
3. How to Use
The indicator plots a signal line and dynamically colors the price bars and background to reflect the dominant bias.
Deep Blue (Bullish Flow): The KAE Score is > 0.1. All three engines (or the majority) are aligned bullishly. Traders typically look for long entries or hold existing long positions.
White (Bearish Flow): The KAE Score is < -0.1. The majority of engines detect bearish volatility and volume. Traders typically look for short entries.
Gray (Neutral): The score is between -0.1 and 0.1. The market is in equilibrium or transition. Trend-following strategies should be paused.
4. Configuration
Logic Engine: You can toggle individual components (K, A, or E) on or off to isolate specific market dimensions.
Smoothing: Adjust the ALMA Window and Offset to fine-tune the sensitivity of the signal line.
Lengths: Fully customizable periods for Keltner, Aroon, and EFI to adapt to different asset classes (e.g., Crypto vs. Forex).
Stock ScreenerMissing great trade opportunities is annoying, and unless you have 12 screens or only trade one market, you are missing a lot of trades. To fix that, we created this stock screener so you get notified instantly of potential great trading conditions in real time, right on your chart.
You get notified of trading benchmarks being met by the value being displayed on the scanner as well as a color change so that it grabs your attention and makes you aware that you should take a look at the other market and look for a potential trade. It also has built in alerts so you can have an alert notification go off when any of your trading conditions are met instead of needing to watch the scanner for color changes.
The screener will change the ticker symbol background color to red green when price is above or below the previous daily range and above or below both VWAPs. This signals that the ticker is trending, which typically means it is a great time to trade that market and follow the trend.
This stock screener allows you to scan up to 10 different markets at the same time for various different conditions so you always know what is going on with your favorite trading symbols. If you want to scan more tickers, just add the indicator to your chart again and change the table position to the other side of the screen and update the tickers on the 2nd screener, allowing you to have 20 tickers at a time.
The scanner can be fully customized by changing the markets that it screens and turning on or off as many of them as you would like. You can also turn on or off any of the different data sets so that you only get information about trading conditions that matter to you.
The screener can provide data on any type of market, such as stocks, crypto, futures, forex and more. Each ticker can be adjusted to whatever market you would like it to scan for data in the settings panel, the only limitation is that it will not provide data for the VWAP and volume trend score if the ticker you are screening does not provide volume data.
Screener Features
The scanner will provide the following types of data for each ticker that is turned on:
Volume - Provides a volume score compared to the average volume and notifies you of higher than normal volume and volume spikes on individual bars by changing colors.
Volatility - Provides a volatility score compared to the average volatility and notifies you of higher than normal volatility by changing colors.
Oscillator - Choose between the RSI or CCI. The value of that oscillator will be displayed and will notify you when values are in extreme ranges such as overbought or oversold conditions according to the threshold values you enter in the settings panel. When those thresholds have been breached, you will be notified by it changing color.
Big Candles - Compares the current candle to average previous candle sizes, and changes color to notify you of big candles including a big top wick, big bottom wick, big candle body and big candle high to low range.
Daily Level Touches & Trends - Calculates and displays various daily candle and intraday open price levels that act as support and resistance. Notifies you when price is touching any of the daily levels that are turned on. The levels you can have on are as follows: previous day high, previous day low or previous day open. It also will notify you when price is touching the current day’s open, NY 930am open, Asia 8pm open, London 2am open and NY midnight 12am open. It will also say “Above” if price is above the previous day’s high or it will say “Below” if price is below the previous day’s low. The color of the cell will also change when a level touch is happening or price is above the previous day high or below the previous day low.
VWAP - Choose from 2 different VWAP lengths, default settings are daily and weekly VWAPs. You will get notified if price touches either of the VWAPs and they will also say “Above” or “Below” if price is currently above or below each VWAP.
How To Use The Screener To Help You Trade
The main purpose of the screener is to scan other markets and notify you of potential good trading opportunities such as price bouncing off of the daily levels or VWAPs. It can also be used to know when price is trending according to the VWAPs and daily levels. Lastly, you can use it to know how the volume and volatility trends are currently which gives you more confidence in taking a trade with this data when volume and volatility are present.
Volume Score
When volume is high, this represents a good time to trade because there are many market participants and price is likely to be volatile while there is high volume which can present a lot of good trade setups for you to take.
The volume score shown on the screener measures the current volume trend compared to previous volume trends and calculates that into a score based on 100 being the same as the previous volume trend. So any value above 100 means it is high volume and any value less than 100 means it is lower volume than normal.
In the settings panel, you can adjust the volume threshold that needs to be met for a volume notification to show up. The default setting is at 120, so you will get notified when the current volume trend score is 120 or higher or you can adjust that threshold value to whatever value you prefer.
It also will notify you when there is a volume spike on the current bar. This is determined by calculating an average of the recent volume totals and then checking to see if the current bar is greater than or equal to that average multiplied by 3. So if a single bar has volume that is greater than 3 times what the average volume is, then you will get a notification that says “Spike” to make you aware of that volume spike.
The volume trend threshold, volume spike multiplier and lookback length for the average volume used in volume spike calculations can all be adjusted in the settings panel to fit your desired preferences.
Volatility Score
High volatility can mean it is a great time to trade because the market is moving quickly and providing large enough movements that you can get in and out in a short amount of time, while still accruing decent sized trade PnL.
The volatility score will calculate the current volatility for each market compared to previous conditions and then divide the current volatility by the average volatility to give you a volatility score. Anything over 100 means the market is decently volatile and you should look at that market to find potential trade setups to execute on. Anything below 100 means the market is not very volatile and it is usually best to just wait until volatility returns before you start trading again.
The screener will notify you when the volatility score is above the threshold you set. The default value is set to 90, but can be adjusted to your preference. Pay attention to any market that shows an alert and take a look at that chart because the high volatility may present a good trade setup for you in the near future.
Oscillator Score
The oscillator data can be switched between Relative Strength Index(RSI) and Commodity Channel Index(CCI).
The RSI provides a value between 0 and 100 that indicates the momentum and strength of the recent price action. Many traders use the extremes of the 0-100 range to signal overbought or oversold conditions and use that as a sign to look for price to reverse in the near future. The typical values used for this and the default settings to provide notifications are: 70 for overbought and 30 for oversold. The scanner will notify you when the RSI value is considered overbought or oversold so you know to take a look at the chart and analyze if it is ready for a trade to be taken.
The CCI provides a value that can be used to determine the trend strength of the underlying asset when the oscillator moves above 100 or below -100. These extreme values are outside of the normal accumulation range and signify that price is moving strongly in that direction so it may be a good time to take a trade in the direction of the trend. The scanner will show you the value of the CCI for each market and notify you if that value is above 100 or below -100.
Both RSI and CCI settings can be adjusted in the settings panel to your desired settings so you have the exact oscillator settings you prefer to use as well as the exact values that you want to use for being notified.
Big Candles
Big candles can mean that many traders are buying or selling at the same time and many times indicate a good signal to trade in that same direction. That is why we included this calculation in the screener, so you are always aware when a large candle prints.
It calculates the average size of the recent candles and then uses that average as the benchmark to determine if the current candle is considered big and worthy of notifying you to take a look at that chart.
You can adjust the multiplier used for the big candle threshold to whatever you desire, but the default setting is 3 which means the candle will be considered big and notify you if it is 3 times as large as an average candle.
The big candles data will track the following candle values and notify you with these labels:
High to Low candle size = HL
Candle Body from open to close candle size = OC
Top Wick size = TW
Bottom Wick size = BW
Daily Level Touches & Trend
Daily level touches are excellent levels to watch for price to bounce because they often act as support and resistance levels for intraday trading. The scanner will track each market and notify you when the current candle is touching any of the daily levels that you have turned on in the settings panel.
The main levels that are turned on by default and are useful for all markets and how they will be labeled on the scanner are as follows:
Previous Day High = High
Previous Day Low = Low
Previous Day Open = < Open
Previous Day Close = Close
Current Day Open = Open
We also included some extra levels that are useful for futures traders. They are as follows:
NY 930am Open = 930am
NY 12am Midnight Open = 12am
Asia Open at 8pm NY time = Asia
London Open at 2am NY Time = London
Watch how price reacts to these levels and then trade the bounces off of these levels if the price action confirms that it is going to respect that level.
When price is currently above the previous day high, the scanner will say “Above” and show a green color, indicating a bullish trend and that price is above the previous daily candle’s high.
When price is currently below the previous day low, the scanner will say “Below” and show a red color, indicating a bearish trend and that price is below the previous daily candle’s low.
Pay attention to when price is trending above or below the previous daily candle as those trends can provide excellent trend trading opportunities.
The daily levels that you have turned on in the settings will also show as lines on the chart and include a label next to them, identifying each level so you know what each line represents. You can turn on or off all of the lines shown on the chart in the main settings or turn them off one by one in the style panel of the settings. Labels can also be turned on or off for all of the lines in the main settings panel. You can adjust the label positioning in the Label Offset section of the settings panel.
VWAP Touches & Trend
VWAP stands for volume weighted average price and is a very popular tool that traders use to determine trend direction based on volume as well as an excellent level to trade price bounces off of.
The typical VWAP time period used is Daily, which means the volume weighted average price will reset at the beginning of a new day. We set the first VWAP to be the daily VWAP by default and the second one to be the weekly VWAP. You can adjust both of the time periods to be any of the provided time lengths that you choose.
The screener will show “Above” with a green background color when price is above the VWAP, indicating a bullish trend. It will show “Below” with a red background color when price is below the VWAP, indicating a bearish trend. When both VWAPs are showing Above or Below, you can expect price to trend in that direction, so look for pullbacks you can trade in the direction of the trend. If the VWAPs are showing different directions, then you should expect to bounce back and forth between the VWAPs, but be careful and watch out for price to break beyond either one and start a trend.
When the current candle is touching the VWAP, the scanner will change colors and say VWAP to notify you that price is touching the VWAP and you should look at that chart and analyze the market for a potential bounce off of the VWAP to trade.
Trending Market Signals
Strong trends are excellent markets to trade and can many times provide excellent trading opportunities that don’t require expert price action reading skills to be able to take winning trades from. That is why we included a signal to notify you of a strong trending market.
The strong trending market will show up as a green or red background color for the ticker name. If the color of the ticker name is green, it is notifying you that the price is above the previous daily high, above VWAP 1 and above VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bullish trend trades. If the color of the ticker name is red, it is notifying you that the price is below the previous daily low, below VWAP 1 and below VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bearish trend trades.
Changing The Tickers It Scans
To change the tickers that the indicator scans, scroll near the bottom of the settings panel and select the ticker symbol you want to update and then search for the exact symbol you want to use. If you want to scan less tickers, then just turn some of the tickers off that you don’t need.
Scanning More Than 10 Tickers
If you want to scan more than 10 tickers, you can add the scanner to your chart again and then just change the table position to the other side of the screen. This will allow you to scan 10 more tickers that will show up separately. Then if you want even more, just add the indicator to your chart again and update the table position until you have as many markets as you want. The table position setting can be found at the bottom of the main settings panel.
Alerts
The screener has alerts that can be used to notify you when any of the data set thresholds have been met or if price is touching one of the levels. You can set alerts for the following events:
Bullish Trend Alert - Price is above the previous daily high and above both VWAPs.
Bearish Trend Alert - Price is below the previous daily low and below both VWAPs.
High Volume Alert - Volume is higher than the threshold or a volume spike is detected.
High Volatility Alert - Volatility is higher than the threshold.
Oscillator Is Extended Alert - Oscillator value has exceeded the upper or lower threshold.
Big Candle Alert - A big candle has been detected.
Daily Level Touch Alert - One of the daily levels that is turned on is being touched.
VWAP Touch Alert - One of the 2 VWAPs are being touched.
An alert will trigger when any one of tickers on your scanner meets the alert conditions, so when you see the alert, you will need to go to your chart and look at the scanner to see which ticker it was and then navigate to that chart to look for potential trade setups.
The alerts will use the exact same settings you have configured in the settings panel to send you alert notifications. With normal settings, this could give you a lot of alerts, so if you only want alerts to fire when abnormal conditions are being met, try setting up a second screener on your chart that has very high threshold values and only has the most important level touches on. Then turn the setting "Do Not Show The Screener On The Chart" to off so the calculations will still run and fire alerts, but won't clog up your charts. This way you can only get alert notifications when major events happen but still have your normal screener settings available on your chart.
Markets This Can Be Used On
This screener uses the price action and volume data so you can use it to scan any type of market you would like as long as the ticker you are scanning has price and volume data feeds. If a market does not have volume data, then it will just show NaN in the volume row and the VWAP rows will not show anything.
Pivot Points with Support/ResistanceA) Pivot Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3…)
Resistance pivots are projected upside levels where price often pauses, rejects, or reverses. They are commonly used as profit targets for long trades and areas to watch for short setups when buyers show weakness.
B) Pivot Support Levels (S1, S2, S3…)
Support pivots are projected downside levels where price often stabilizes or bounces. They are commonly used as profit targets for short trades and areas to watch for long setups when sellers lose momentum.
C) Role in Market Structure
S/R pivots map out probable intraday supply and demand zones based on the prior session’s price action. They help define the day’s trading range and highlight high-probability reaction areas.
D) Trading Interpretation
Acceptance above resistance → bullish continuation
Rejection at resistance → potential pullback or reversal
Acceptance below support → bearish continuation
Rejection at support → potential bounce
Best used with trend context, volume, and confluence (CPR, VAH/VAL, Camarilla)
True FVGsThis script highlights 3-candle Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart, showing areas where price moved quickly and left potential gaps in market structure. Bullish FVGs are shown with green boxes and suggest possible support, while bearish FVGs are shown with red boxes and suggest possible resistance. It also includes doji candles—very small-bodied candles that indicate indecision—so these patterns are not missed. The script displays the most recent 5 FVGs, making it easy to spot recent potential areas where price may react.
Blockcircle Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume ValidationWHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL AND DIFFERENT
The BLOCKCIRCLE FAIR VALUE GAPS (FVG) AND VOLUME VALIDATION indicator solves the most common FVG (or price value gap) problem: chart clutter from irrelevant gaps and adds two important features, volume validation and trend filtering. It implements proximity filtering to only show gaps within a configurable percentage of the current price, automatic age-based deletion, and maximum gap size limits to exclude extreme moves. The result is a clean chart showing only actionable gaps near current price action.
HOW IT WORKS
Fair Value Gaps form when prices move aggressively, leaving an unfilled gap between consecutive candles. This indicator identifies gaps but applies multiple relevance filters: gaps must be within the proximity threshold of the current price, younger than the maximum age, and sized between the minimum and maximum thresholds. Gaps outside these parameters are automatically removed.
FEATURES
Proximity filter removes gaps far from the current price
Maximum age filter deletes stale gaps
Minimum and maximum gap size filters
Volume confirmation option
Three mitigation detection methods
Info table showing active gap counts
CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS
Maximum Zones to Display: Limit visual clutter
Minimum Gap Size Percent: Filter insignificant gaps
Maximum Gap Size Percent: Filter extreme moves
Proximity Filter Percent: Only gaps within this distance from the price
Maximum Age Bars: Delete gaps older than this
Require Above Average Volume: Institutional filter
Mitigation Type: Wick, Close, or 50% Fill
Delete Mitigated Zones: Automatic cleanup
USAGE NOTES
Default 30% proximity means gaps more than 30% away from the current price are hidden. Increase for longer-term analysis or decrease for tighter focus. The maximum age of 200 bars prevents ancient gaps from cluttering the chart, but this can be changed to 5,000!

RSI Momentum LockConcept & Philosophy This indicator is a unique hybrid trend-following system that combines the momentum power of RSI with the visual simplicity of the SuperTrend. Unlike standard indicators that flip constantly during choppy markets, the RSI Momentum Lock uses a "State Machine" logic to capture and hold strong trends.
How It Works The indicator creates a "Trend Lock" based on RSI breakout levels:
Bullish Lock (Green): Triggered ONLY when RSI closes above 70 (Overbought Breakout). The trend remains bullish even if RSI falls back to neutral levels (50-60), filtering out minor corrections.
Bearish Lock (Red): Triggered ONLY when RSI closes below 30 (Oversold Breakdown). The trend remains bearish until a new bullish breakout occurs.
Visuals The plot looks like a SuperTrend, calculated using ATR (Average True Range) to provide a dynamic Trailing Stop line.
Green Line: Support level during an uptrend.
Red Line: Resistance level during a downtrend.
Why Use This Indicator?
Filters Noise: It ignores sideways movement between RSI 30 and 70.
Early Entry: Catches the momentum explosion right at the breakout.
Longer Rides: Keeps you in the trade longer than traditional SuperTrends.
Settings
RSI Length: Default is 14.
Levels: Default triggers are 70 (Buy) and 30 (Sell).
ATR Factor: Controls the distance of the line from the price (Default 3.0).
الفكرة والفلسفة (Concept & Philosophy)
هذا المؤشر هو نظام اتجاه هجين فريد يجمع بين قوة زخم مؤشر RSI والبساطة البصرية لمؤشر SuperTrend.
على عكس المؤشرات التقليدية التي تغيّر اتجاهها باستمرار في الأسواق العرضية (المتذبذبة)، يعتمد مؤشر RSI Momentum Lock على منطق آلة الحالات (State Machine) لالتقاط الاتجاهات القوية والاحتفاظ بها لأطول فترة ممكنة.
كيف يعمل المؤشر؟ (How It Works)
يقوم المؤشر بإنشاء ما يُعرف بـ قفل الاتجاه (Trend Lock) بناءً على اختراقات مؤشر RSI:
قفل صاعد (Bullish Lock – أخضر)
يتم تفعيله فقط عندما يغلق مؤشر RSI أعلى مستوى 70 (اختراق تشبع شرائي).
يظل الاتجاه صاعدًا حتى لو عاد RSI إلى مناطق محايدة (50 – 60).
هذا الأسلوب يمنع الخروج المبكر بسبب التصحيحات البسيطة.
قفل هابط (Bearish Lock – أحمر)
يتم تفعيله فقط عندما يغلق مؤشر RSI أسفل مستوى 30 (اختراق تشبع بيعي).
يظل الاتجاه هابطًا حتى يحدث اختراق صاعد جديد.
يساعد على تجنب الإشارات الكاذبة أثناء التذبذب.
الشكل البصري (Visuals)
يظهر المؤشر بصريًا بشكل مشابه لـ SuperTrend، ويتم حسابه باستخدام ATR (متوسط المدى الحقيقي) لإنشاء خط وقف متحرك ديناميكي:
الخط الأخضر: مستوى دعم أثناء الاتجاه الصاعد.
الخط الأحمر: مستوى مقاومة أثناء الاتجاه الهابط.
لماذا تستخدم هذا المؤشر؟ (Why Use This Indicator?)
فلترة الضوضاء: يتجاهل الحركة العرضية عندما يكون RSI بين 30 و70.
دخول مبكر: يلتقط انفجار الزخم مباشرة عند الاختراق الحقيقي.
صفقات أطول: يبقيك داخل الصفقة لفترة أطول مقارنة بمؤشرات SuperTrend التقليدية.
الإعدادات (Settings)
طول RSI: القيمة الافتراضية 14
المستويات:
شراء: 70
بيع: 30
عامل ATR: يحدد بُعد الخط عن السعر (القيمة الافتراضية 3.0)

SuperBands: Smart Pullback StrategyIndicator Name: SuperBands (Smart Pullback Strategy)
1. Core Concept (The Philosophy)
This indicator represents a smart fusion of two powerful trading methodologies: Trend Following and Mean Reversion. Instead of trying to predict market tops or bottoms, it focuses on joining an established trend at a "Discount Price."
In short: "Buy the dips in an Uptrend, and Sell the rallies in a Downtrend."
2. Technical Components
The indicator consists of two main engines working in harmony:
First: The Trend Filter (Supertrend):
Settings: (ATR 20 / Factor 6.0).
Function: Identifies the long-term market direction. The high Factor (6.0) is deliberately used to filter out noise and minor fluctuations, ensuring the trend direction only changes when there is a significant market shift.
Rule: If the line is Green, only Long trades are allowed. If Red, only Short trades are allowed.
Second: The Sniper (Bollinger Bands):
Settings: (Length 20 / StdDev 2.0).
Function: Identifies temporary Overbought and Oversold zones within the trend.
Rule: The Lower Band acts as a "Value Zone" for buying, while the Upper Band acts as a "Premium Zone" for selling.
3. Signal Logic (How it Works)
The indicator scans the market for specific, high-probability conditions:
A. Buy Signal (Green Triangle):
Appears only when both conditions are met:
Trend is Bullish: Supertrend is Green.
Price is "Cheap": Price drops to touch or break the Lower Bollinger Band.
Logic: The general trend is Up, and the price has pulled back to a dynamic support level. This is a buying opportunity.
B. Sell Signal (Red Triangle):
Appears only when both conditions are met:
Trend is Bearish: Supertrend is Red.
Price is "Expensive": Price rises to touch or break the Upper Bollinger Band.
Logic: The general trend is Down, and the price has rallied to a dynamic resistance level. This is a selling opportunity.
4. User Guide (How to Trade It)
To achieve the best results, consider the following approach when a signal appears:
A. Entry:
Enter the trade immediately upon the close of the candle where the triangle appears (or place a pending order slightly above/below the signal candle for confirmation).
B. Stop Loss (SL):
Conservative: Place the SL at the Supertrend line (if this line breaks, the trend is invalid).
Aggressive: Place the SL slightly below the signal candle's low or the most recent Swing Low.
C. Take Profit (TP):
Target 1: The Bollinger Bands Middle Line (Basis/SMA 20).
Target 2: The Opposite Band (Upper Band for Buy signals, Lower Band for Sell signals).
5. Key Strengths & Limitations
Main Advantage: This indicator prevents a common trader mistake: "FOMO" (Fear Of Missing Out). It stops you from buying at the top or selling at the bottom. It psychologically forces you to wait for the price to come to you.
Best Use Case: The wide Supertrend settings make this highly effective for Crypto and Volatile Stocks where trends are strong and pullbacks are deep.
Limitation: In tight, ranging markets (choppy markets), the price might not touch the bands often, or it might generate a signal followed by sideways movement.
Summary for the Trader:
This indicator tells you: "The trend is Up, but don't chase the price... wait for it to drop to the Lower Band, then strike."
اسم المؤشر: SuperBands (Smart Pullback Strategy)
1. الفكرة الأساسية (الفلسفة وراء المؤشر)
هذا المؤشر هو دمج ذكي بين استراتيجيتين شهيرتين: تتبع الاتجاه (Trend Following) و اقتناص الارتدادات (Mean Reversion). هو لا يحاول التنبؤ بقمة أو قاع السوق، بل يحاول الدخول مع الاتجاه العام القوي ولكن من "نقطة سعرية مخفضة" (Discount Price).
باختصار: "اشترِ الانخفاضات في الاتجاه الصاعد، وبع الارتفاعات في الاتجاه الهابط".
2. المكونات التقنية
يتكون المؤشر من جزأين رئيسيين يعملان كفريق واحد:
أولاً: الحارس (Supertrend):
الإعدادات: (ATR 20 / Factor 6.0).
الوظيفة: تحديد الاتجاه العام "طويل المدى". استخدام العامل 6.0 (وهو رقم كبير) يجعل المؤشر يتجاهل التذبذبات الصغيرة ولا يغير لونه إلا إذا تغير الاتجاه الحقيقي للسوق بقوة.
القاعدة: إذا كان الخط أخضر، يُسمح بالشراء فقط. إذا كان أحمر، يُسمح بالبيع فقط.
ثانياً: القناص (Bollinger Bands):
الإعدادات: (Length 20 / StdDev 2.0).
الوظيفة: تحديد مناطق ذروة البيع والشراء المؤقتة (Overbought/Oversold) داخل الاتجاه.
القاعدة: الحد السفلي يعتبر منطقة "رخيصة" للشراء، والحد العلوي منطقة "غالية" للبيع.
3. كيف تتكون الإشارة (آلية العمل)
يقوم المؤشر بمسح السوق بحثاً عن شروط محددة بدقة:
A. إشارة الشراء (المثلث الأخضر):
تظهر فقط عند تحقق الشرطين معاً:
الاتجاه صاعد: السوبر تريند لونه أخضر.
سعر مغري: السعر هبط ليلامس أو يكسر الحد السفلي للبولنجر باند (Lower Band).
المنطق: الاتجاه العام صاعد، والسعر قام بعمل تصحيح (Pullback) لمستوى دعم ديناميكي، إذن هي فرصة للشراء بسعر أفضل.
B. إشارة البيع (المثلث الأحمر):
تظهر فقط عند تحقق الشرطين معاً:
الاتجاه هابط: السوبر تريند لونه أحمر.
سعر مرتفع: السعر صعد ليلامس أو يخترق الحد العلوي للبولنجر باند (Upper Band).
المنطق: الاتجاه العام هابط، والسعر قام بعمل تصحيح صعودي لمقاومة ديناميكية، إذن هي فرصة للبيع من مكان مرتفع.
4. كيفية الاستفادة منه (دليل المستخدم)
لتحقيق أفضل نتائج، يُنصح باتباع الخطوات التالية عند ظهور الإشارة:
أ. نقاط الدخول (Entry):
ادخل الصفقة بمجرد إغلاق الشمعة التي ظهر عليها المثلث (أو ضع أمر معلق فوق/تحت الشمعة لتأكيد الحركة).
ب. وقف الخسارة (Stop Loss):
الخيار الآمن: ضع الوقف عند خط السوبر تريند (لأنه إذا كُسر الخط، يعني أن الاتجاه تغير).
الخيار المغامر: ضع الوقف أسفل قاع الشمعة السابقة بمسافة بسيطة، أو أسفل آخر قاع (Swing Low).
ج. جني الأرباح (Take Profit):
الهدف الأول: خط المنتصف للبولنجر باند (الخط البرتقالي الخفي أو متوسط 20).
الهدف الثاني: الحد المعاكس للبولنجر باند (الحد العلوي في حالة الشراء، والسفلي في حالة البيع).
5. مميزات وعيوب يجب الانتباه لها
الميزة القوية: يمنعك هذا المؤشر من ارتكاب خطأ شائع وهو "الشراء في القمة" أو "البيع في القاع". هو يجبرك نفسياً على انتظار السعر ليأتي إليك في مناطق التصحيح.
نقطة القوة: إعدادات السوبر تريند (6.0) تجعل الإشارات قوية جداً في العملات الرقمية (Crypto) والأسهم ذات الاتجاه الواضح (Trending Markets).
نقطة الضعف: في الأسواق العرضية المملة (Ranging Markets) ذات النطاق الضيق جداً، قد لا تلمس الأسعار حدود البولنجر كثيراً، أو قد يعطي إشارات دخول والسوق لا يتحرك بعدها بقوة.
ملخص للمتداول:
هذا المؤشر يقول لك: "السوق صاعد، لكن لا تطارد السعر.. انتظر حتى يهبط السعر إليك عند الخط السفلي ثم اشترِ".
Multi-Timeframe Order BlocksDesigned to identify and visualize key supply and demand zones based on order block theory across multiple timeframes. The indicator detects order blocks by analyzing sequential candle patterns and price movement thresholds to highlight potential reversal or continuation zones where institutional buying or selling activity may have occurred.
The indicator works by scanning for clusters of consecutive bullish or bearish candles followed by a significant price move, which signals the formation of an order block. It then plots these zones as colored boxes on the chart—green for demand (bullish order blocks) and red for supply (bearish order blocks). The zones can be based on candle bodies or wicks, depending on user preference, and the indicator supports multi-timeframe analysis by allowing optional higher timeframe inputs.
How It Works:
Sequential Candle Detection: The indicator looks for a specified number of consecutive bullish or bearish candles (configurable by the user) to identify potential order blocks.
Price Movement Threshold: It checks if the price movement after the order block formation exceeds a user-defined percentage threshold, ensuring only significant zones are marked.
Zone Plotting: Once an order block is confirmed, the indicator draws a supply or demand zone as a box on the chart, using either candle bodies or wicks for zone boundaries.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Users can optionally specify higher timeframes to incorporate broader market context, enhancing the reliability of the zones.
Zone Management: The indicator limits the number of zones displayed to avoid clutter, automatically removing the oldest zones when the maximum count is exceeded.
How to Interpret:
Demand Zones (Green Boxes): These represent areas where buying pressure was strong enough to create a bullish order block. Price often finds support here, making these zones potential entry points for long trades or areas to watch for price bounces.
Supply Zones (Red Boxes): These indicate areas of strong selling pressure forming bearish order blocks. Price may face resistance in these zones, which can be used as potential exit points for longs or entry points for shorts.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Zones identified on higher timeframes tend to be stronger and more reliable. Use the optional higher timeframe inputs to align your trades with broader market trends.
Use with Other Indicators: Combine order block zones with volume, momentum, or trend indicators to improve trade confirmation and risk management.
Zone Breaks: A decisive break and close beyond a supply or demand zone may signal a shift in market sentiment and potential trend continuation or reversal.

Volume Profile - Density of Density [DAFE]Volume Profile - Density of Density
The Art & Science of Market Architecture: An AI-Enhanced Volume Profile & Order Flow Engine with a Revolutionary Visualization Core.
█ PHILOSOPHY: BEYOND THE PROFILE, INTO THE DENSITY
Standard Volume Profile shows you a one-dimensional story: where volume was traded. It shows you the first layer of density. But this is like looking at a galaxy and only seeing the stars, completely missing the gravitational forces, the dark matter, and the nebulae that give it structure.
Volume Profile - Density of Density (VP-DoD) is a revolutionary leap forward. It was engineered to analyze the second order of market data: the properties of the density itself . We don't just ask "Where did volume trade?" We ask " Why did it trade there? What was the character of that volume? What is the statistical significance of its shape? What is the probability of what happens next?"
This is a complete, institutional-grade analytical framework built on the DAFE principle: Data Analysis For Execution . It fuses a higher-timeframe structural engine, a proprietary microstructure delta engine, and a Bayesian AI into a single, cohesive intelligence system. It is designed to transform your chart from a flat, lagging record of the past into a living, three-dimensional map of market structure and intention.
█ WHAT MAKES VP-DoD ULTIMATE UNLIKE ANY OTHER PROFILE TOOL?
This is not just another volume profile script. It stands apart due to a suite of proprietary features previously unseen on this platform.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Core: While other profiles are trapped by the noise of your current chart, VP-DoD builds its foundation on a higher timeframe of your choice (e.g., Daily data on a 15m chart). This is its greatest strength. It filters out intraday noise to reveal the true, macro architectural levels where institutions have built their positions.
Microstructure Hybrid Delta Engine: Standard delta is primitive. Our engine provides a far more accurate picture of order flow by simulating tick data and analyzing the battle between candle bodies (aggression) and wicks (absorption). It sees the hidden story inside the volume.
Bayesian AI Confidence Model: This is not a simple weighted score. VP-DoD incorporates a genuine Bayesian inference model. It starts with a neutral "belief" about the market and continuously updates its Bullish/Bearish Confidence percentage based on new evidence from delta, POC velocity, and price action. It thinks like a professional quant, providing you with a real-time statistical edge.
Advanced Statistical Analysis: It calculates metrics found nowhere else, such as Profile Entropy (a measure of market disorder) and Volatility Skew (a measure of fear vs. greed from the derivatives market), and normalizes them with Z-Scores for universal applicability.
Revolutionary Visualization Engine: Data should be intuitive and beautiful. VP-DoD features 14 distinct, animated, and theme-aware rendering modes . From "Nebula Plasma" and "Liquid Metal" to "DNA Helix" and "Constellation Map," you can transform raw data into interactive data art, allowing you to perceive market structure in a way that resonates with your unique analytical style.
█ THE ART OF ANALYSIS: A REVOLUTIONARY VISUALIZATION CORE
Data is useless if it isn't intuitive. VP-DoD shatters the mold of boring, static indicators with a state-of-the-art visualization engine. This is where data analysis becomes data art.
The Profile Itself: 14 Modes of Perception
Choose how you want to see the market's architecture:
Nebula Plasma & Quantum Matrix: Futuristic, cyberpunk aesthetics with vibrant glow effects that make HVNs and POCs pulse with energy.
Thermal Vision & Heat Shimmer: Renders the profile as a heatmap, instantly drawing your eye to the "hottest" zones of institutional liquidity.
Liquid Metal & Crystalline: Creates a tangible, almost physical representation of volume with metallic sheens, animated light flows, and faceted structures.
3D Depth Map & Prismatic Refraction: Uses layering and color channel separation to create a stunning illusion of depth, separating the profile into its core components.
Particle Field & Constellation Map: Abstract, beautiful data art modes that represent volume as animated particles or glowing stars, connecting major nodes like celestial bodies.
DNA Helix & Magnetic Field: Dynamic, animated modes that visualize the forces of attraction and repulsion around the POC and Value Area, representing the market's underlying code.
The POC & Value Area: A Living, Breathing Structure
The POC and VA are no longer static lines. They are a dynamic, interactive system designed for immediate contextual awareness:
Multi-Layered Glow Effects: The POC and VA lines are rendered with multiple layers of glowing, pulsating light, giving them a vibrant, three-dimensional presence on your chart.
Dynamic Labels & Badges: Each key level (POC, VAH, VAL) features an advanced label block showing not just the price, but the real-time distance from the current price, and a status badge (e.g., "▲ ABOVE", "◆ INSIDE") that changes color and text based on price interaction.
Intelligent Color Adaptation: The color of the VAH and VAL lines dynamically changes. A VAH line will glow bright green when price is breaking above it, but will appear dim and neutral when price is far below it, providing instant visual cues about market context.
█ ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE: THE SIGNAL & ALERT SYSTEM
VP-DoD is not just an analytical tool; it's a complete trading framework with a built-in, context-aware signal system.
Absorption/Distribution Signals (🏦): The "Whale Signal." Triggers when price and delta are in stark divergence, indicating large passive orders are absorbing the market—a classic institutional maneuver.
Coiling Signals (⚡): A high-probability setup that alerts you when the market is compressing (VA contracting, low entropy), storing energy for a significant breakout.
POC Shift & VA Breakout Signals: Trend-initiation signals that fire when value is migrating and the market breaks out of its established balance area with conviction.
Delta Extreme Signals: Contrarian reversal signals that detect capitulation at the extremes of buying or selling pressure, often marking key turning points.
█ THE DASHBOARD: YOUR INSTITUTIONAL COMMAND CENTER
The professional-grade dashboard provides a real-time, comprehensive overview of the market's hidden state.
Market Regime: Instantly know if the market is BALANCED, COILING, TRENDING , or VOLATILE .
Advanced Metrics: Monitor Entropy (disorder), Volatility Skew (fear/greed), and a composite Risk Score .
Institutional Score: See the calculated Liquidity Score and Conviction Level , grading the quality of the current market structure.
Bayesian AI: The crown jewel. See the real-time, AI-calculated Bull vs. Bear Confidence percentages, giving you a statistical edge on the probable direction of the next move.
Breakout Gauge: A forward-looking metric that calculates the Breakout Probability and its likely Bias (Bullish/Bearish).
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
VP-DoD Ultimate was created out of a passion for revealing the hidden architecture of the market. We believe that the most profound truths are found at the intersection of rigorous science and intuitive art. This tool is the culmination of thousands of hours of research into market microstructure, statistical analysis, and data visualization. It is for the trader who is no longer satisfied with lagging indicators and seeks a deeper, more contextual understanding of the market auction. It is for the trader who believes that analysis should be not only effective but also beautiful.
VP-DoD Ultimate is designed to help you ride the trend with confidence, but more importantly, to give you the data-driven intelligence to anticipate that final, critical bend.
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
CONTEXT IS KING: This is an advanced contextual tool, not a simple "buy/sell" signal indicator. Use its intelligence to frame your trades within your own strategy.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. The signals and levels provided are based on historical data and statistical probability, not guarantees.
HTF IS YOUR GUIDE: For the highest probability setups, use the HTF feature (e.g., 240m or Daily) to identify macro structure. Then, execute trades on a lower timeframe based on interactions with these key macro levels.
ALIGN WITH THE REGIME: Pay close attention to the "Regime" and "Entropy" readouts on the dashboard. Trading a breakout strategy during a high-entropy "RANGING" regime is a low-probability endeavor. Align your strategy with the market's current state.
"The trend is your friend, except at the end where it bends."
