Swing Structure Bands [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Swing Structure Bands is a structure-based trend and reaction indicator that builds adaptive price bands directly from swing highs and swing lows.
Instead of using fixed-length moving averages, the bands dynamically adjust their length based on how long price has been forming higher highs or lower lows, allowing the indicator to naturally align with real market structure.
This makes the tool especially effective for identifying swing-based support and resistance, trend continuation zones, and exhaustion reactions.
⯁ CORE CONCEPT
The indicator continuously tracks:
The most recent swing high and swing low over a configurable swing window.
How long price has been developing since each swing point.
Dynamic moving averages whose length grows with the swing itself.
As long as price respects the current swing direction, the bands extend and adapt.
When structure breaks, the system resets and starts forming new swing-based bands.
⯁ SWING DETECTION LOGIC
A Swing High is detected when price forms a local maximum relative to the swing lookback.
A Swing Low is detected when price forms a local minimum relative to the swing lookback.
Direction flips when price transitions from forming highs to forming lows, or vice versa.
Each confirmed swing is marked on the chart, giving clear structural context.
⯁ ADAPTIVE BAND CONSTRUCTION
Upper bands are derived from swing highs.
Lower bands are derived from swing lows.
Band length dynamically increases as the swing develops.
Multiple MA types can be used (SMA, EMA, SMMA/RMA, WMA, VWMA).
ATR is applied as an offset to create upper and lower envelopes around each band, forming a volatility-aware structure channel.
⯁ VOLATILITY FILTERING
If the band moves too aggressively relative to ATR, it is temporarily disabled.
This prevents unstable or noisy bands during sudden expansions.
Bands only remain active when price structure is stable.
This logic keeps the indicator focused on meaningful swings rather than short-term spikes.
⯁ REACTION & SIGNAL LOGIC
Sell signals appear when price crosses down from the upper swing band after sufficient stabilization.
Buy signals appear when price crosses up from the lower swing band after sufficient stabilization.
Cooldown logic prevents signal clustering.
Signals are designed as structure reactions , not momentum breakouts.
⯁ VISUAL STRUCTURE CLARITY
Separate bullish and bearish bands with customizable colors.
Optional band envelopes for visual depth.
Clear swing labels marking structural turning points.
Diamond markers highlight reaction zones.
The visualization emphasizes where price reacts to structure rather than where it accelerates.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Use upper bands as dynamic resistance during bearish or corrective phases.
Use lower bands as dynamic support during bullish phases.
Combine band reactions with higher-timeframe trend direction.
Look for confirmations near bands rather than mid-range entries.
The indicator works best as a structure framework rather than a standalone signal generator.
⯁ IDEAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Trending markets with clear swing development.
Markets transitioning from impulse to correction.
Crypto, forex, indices, and liquid stocks.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Swing Structure Bands offers a structurally grounded alternative to traditional moving average channels.
By anchoring bands to real swing behavior and adapting dynamically over time, it provides traders with a clearer view of where price is reacting, pausing, or potentially reversing within the broader market structure.
Trend Analysis
Regression Slope Oscillator [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Regression Slope Oscillator is a trend–momentum tool that applies multiple linear regression slope calculations over different lookback ranges, then averages them into a single oscillator line. This design helps traders visualize when price is extending beyond typical regression behavior, as well as when momentum is shifting up or down.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Regression Slope – Measures the steepness and direction of price trends over a selected length.
f_log_regression(src, length) =>
float sumX = 0.0
float sumY = 0.0
float sumXSqr = 0.0
float sumXY = 0.0
for i = 0 to length - 1
val = math.log(src )
per = i + 1.0
sumX += per
sumY += val
sumXSqr += per * per
sumXY += val * per
slope = (length * sumXY - sumX * sumY) / (length * sumXSqr - sumX * sumX)
slope*-1
Multi–Sample Averaging – Instead of relying on one regression slope, the indicator loops through many lengths (from Min Range to Max Range with Step increments) and averages their slopes.
multiSlope(length)=>
// Get regression slope
slope = f_log_regression(close, length)
slopAvg.push(slope)
for i = minRange to maxRange by step
multiSlope(i)
Color Gradient – The oscillator and candles are colored dynamically from oversold (orange) to overbought (aqua), based on slope extremes observed within the user–defined Color Range.
Trend Oscillation – When the oscillator rises, price trend is strengthening; when it falls, momentum weakens.
🔵 FEATURES
Calculates regression slopes across a user–defined range (e.g., 10–100 with steps of 5).
Averages all sampled slopes into a single oscillator line.
Dynamic coloring of oscillator and chart candles based on slope values.
User–controlled Color Range :
High values (e.g., 50–100) → interpret as overbought vs oversold zones.
Low values (e.g., 2–5) → interpret as slope rising vs falling momentum shifts.
Dashboard table (top–right) displaying number of slope samples and current averaged slope value.
Candle coloring mode (optional) – candles take on the oscillator gradient color for at–a–glance reading of trend bias.
Signal Line (SMA) – A moving average of the slope oscillator used to identify momentum reversals.
Bullish Reversal Signal – Triggered when the oscillator crosses above the signal line while below zero, indicating downside momentum exhaustion and potential trend recovery.
Bearish Reversal Signal – Triggered when the oscillator crosses below the signal line while above zero, indicating upside momentum exhaustion and potential trend rollover.
Dual Placement Signals – Reversal signals are plotted both:
On the oscillator pane (for momentum context)
On the price chart (for execution alignment)
Confirmation Logic – Signals are only printed on confirmed bars to reduce repainting and false triggers.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Watch the oscillator cross above/below zero: signals shifts in regression slope direction.
Use the signal line crossovers near zero to identify early trend reversals.
Use high Color Range settings to identify potential overbought/oversold extremes in trend slope.
Use low Color Range settings for a faster, momentum–driven color change that tracks slope rising/falling.
Candle coloring highlights short–term trend pressure in sync with the oscillator.
Combine reversal signals with structure, support/resistance, or volume for higher–probability entries.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Regression Slope Oscillator transforms raw regression slope data into a smooth, color–coded oscillator. By averaging across multiple regression lengths, it avoids the noise of single–range analysis while still capturing trend extensions and momentum shifts.
With the addition of signal line crossovers and confirmed reversal markers, the indicator now provides both trend context and actionable momentum signals within a single regression-based framework.
Gamma of Gamma - AnticipationGamma of Gamma — Anticipation Engine
What if you could detect market inflections before they become obvious? Not react to momentum — anticipate the momentum itself.
"Gamma here refers to mathematical acceleration (2nd derivative), NOT options Gamma"
Gamma of Gamma (GoG) operates one abstraction layer above conventional indicators. While RSI tells you what momentum did , GoG tells you what momentum is about to do . This is the difference between chasing price and positioning ahead of it.
Core Innovation: Traditional indicators measure first-order effects (price change) or second-order effects (momentum/acceleration). This system measures the third derivative — the rate of change of acceleration itself. When Gamma-of-Gamma reaches extremes, it signals that pressure dynamics are about to flip — often 2-5 bars before price visibly reacts.
Target Users: Discretionary traders, scalpers, and swing traders who want early positioning signals with statistical rigor. Effective on stocks, crypto, forex, and futures with meaningful volume data.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THIRD-DERIVATIVE ANALYSIS?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Hierarchy of Market Information
Most traders operate at the wrong level of abstraction:
• Price → What happened (lagging)
• Momentum → How fast it happened (still lagging)
• Gamma (2nd Derivative) → How momentum is changing (coincident)
• Gamma of Gamma (3rd Derivative) → How FAST that change is changing ( leading )
The third derivative captures inflection acceleration — the mathematical signature of regime transition. When GoG reaches extreme values, the market is telegraphing that current pressure dynamics are unsustainable.
Why This Beats RSI
RSI measures momentum magnitude. GoG measures momentum trajectory .
Consider this scenario: RSI reads 70 (overbought). Is the move exhausted or just getting started? RSI cannot tell you. GoG can — because it measures whether buying pressure is accelerating into the high RSI reading (continuation likely) or decelerating despite high RSI (reversal imminent).
RSI answers: "How strong was the move?"
GoG answers: "Is the move strengthening or weakening right now ?"
The first is historical. The second is predictive.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 1: Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
The foundation is order flow approximation:
• Up bar (close > prior close): Volume classified as buying pressure
• Down bar (close < prior close): Volume classified as selling pressure
• CVD = Running sum of signed volume
Interpretation: Rising CVD indicates net aggressive buying. Falling CVD indicates net aggressive selling. CVD divergence from price often precedes reversals.
Layer 2: Gamma (Second Derivative)
Gamma measures acceleration of order flow:
Formula: Gamma = CVD - 2×CVD + CVD
This is the discrete second derivative — the rate of change of the rate of change. When Gamma spikes positive, buying pressure is accelerating . When Gamma spikes negative, selling pressure is accelerating.
Layer 3: Gamma of Gamma (Third Derivative)
GoG measures jerk — the acceleration of acceleration:
Formula: GoG = Gamma - 2×Gamma + Gamma
Critical insight: Extreme GoG readings indicate that current pressure dynamics are reaching an inflection point. The system is "overextended" in its current trajectory and will likely revert or reverse.
Layer 4: Z-Score Normalization
Raw GoG values are normalized against their 50-period distribution:
Formula: GoG_Z = (GoG - Mean_50) / StdDev_50
Benefit: Z-scores are regime-adaptive. A "2.0" reading always means "2 standard deviations from normal" regardless of whether you're trading a penny stock or ES futures. This makes thresholds consistent across instruments and timeframes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Long Signal (Bullish Anticipation)
Triggers when:
• GoG Z-score < -Threshold (default -2.0)
• Volume > Average Volume × Minimum Multiple (default 1.2×)
Interpretation: Selling pressure acceleration has reached an extreme negative reading. The selling is "exhausting itself" — acceleration is peaking and will soon decelerate. Buyers are likely to step in.
Short Signal (Bearish Anticipation)
Triggers when:
• GoG Z-score > +Threshold (default +2.0)
• Volume > Average Volume × Minimum Multiple (default 1.2×)
Interpretation: Buying pressure acceleration has reached an extreme positive reading. The buying is "exhausting itself" — often occurs at blow-off tops, failed breakouts, or momentum climaxes.
Why Volume Confirmation?
Gamma acceleration in thin liquidity is meaningless noise. The volume filter ensures signals occur only when meaningful participation backs the pressure dynamics. This dramatically reduces false signals during low-activity periods.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CONFIDENCE ENGINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Not all signals are equal. The Confidence Engine quantifies signal strength:
Confidence Calculation:
Confidence = 50 + ((|Z-Score| - Threshold) / Threshold) × 100
Capped at 100%
Visual Representation:
• Small orb = Low confidence (50-65%)
• Normal orb = Medium confidence (65-80%)
• Large orb = High confidence (80-100%)
Orb transparency also adjusts — high-confidence signals appear brighter and more prominent. This creates intuitive visual hierarchy where stronger signals demand more attention.
Practical Use:
• High confidence (>80%): Consider larger position size, tighter stops
• Medium confidence (50-80%): Standard position size
• Low confidence (<50%): Reduced size or wait for confirmation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
INTEGRATED BACKTESTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every signal system needs accountability. The onboard backtester provides real-time performance tracking:
Core Metrics:
• Total Trades
• Win Rate
• Profit Factor
• Expectancy (average P&L per trade)
• Net P&L
• Max Drawdown
• Average Win / Average Loss
Methodology:
• Positions held for configurable bar count (default 10 bars)
• Forces objective evaluation independent of discretionary exits
• Updates in real-time as new trades complete
Optimizer Mode:
Enable for parameter tuning research:
• Stability Score (0-100 points): Composite evaluation of parameter robustness
• Trade Density : Signals per 1000 bars — monitors over/under-trading
• Parameter Display : Current settings for documentation
• Robustness Rating : ROBUST / STABLE / FRAGILE / OVERFIT
Stability Scoring Breakdown:
• Win Rate ≥55%: +25 points | ≥50%: +15 points | ≥45%: +5 points
• Expectancy >0.5%: +25 points | >0.1%: +15 points | >0%: +5 points
• Total Trades ≥30: +25 points | ≥20: +15 points | ≥10: +5 points
• Profit Factor ≥1.5: +25 points | ≥1.2: +15 points | ≥1.0: +5 points
Target: 60+ points indicates stable parameters. Below 40 suggests overfitting risk.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PARAMETER GUIDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Calculation Settings
• GoG Extreme Threshold (default 2.0): Z-score level for signal generation. Higher = fewer but stronger signals. Range: 0.5-5.0
• Gamma Smoothing (default 3): SMA period for Gamma. Lower = more responsive, more noise. Higher = smoother, more lag. Range: 1-20
• GoG Smoothing (default 5): SMA period for GoG. Filters micro-spikes while preserving structural inflections. Range: 1-20
• Min Volume Multiple (default 1.2): Volume must exceed this multiple of 20-period average. Ensures signals have participation backing. Range: 0.5-3.0
Backtester Settings
• Backtest Hold Bars (default 10): Forced holding period for backtester evaluation. Adjust based on timeframe and trading style.
• Parameter Optimizer Mode : Enables extended metrics for tuning research.
Tuning by Timeframe
Scalping (1-5 min):
Threshold: 1.5-2.0 | Gamma Smooth: 2-3 | GoG Smooth: 3-4 | Hold: 5-8 bars
Day Trading (15-60 min):
Threshold: 2.0-2.5 | Gamma Smooth: 3-5 | GoG Smooth: 5-7 | Hold: 8-12 bars
Swing Trading (4H-Daily):
Threshold: 2.5-3.0 | Gamma Smooth: 5-7 | GoG Smooth: 7-10 | Hold: 10-15 bars
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE: PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 1: Identify Regime
Watch the GoG Z-score line. Most of the time it oscillates within the neutral zone (between thresholds). This is "scanning" mode — no actionable signal.
Step 2: Wait for Extreme
When Z-score crosses threshold AND volume confirms, a signal fires. The orb appears in the indicator pane; the triangle appears on price chart.
Step 3: Assess Confidence
Check orb size and dashboard confidence reading:
• Large bright orb + 80%+ confidence = High conviction setup
• Small faint orb + <60% confidence = Requires additional confirmation
Step 4: Execute with Context
GoG signals anticipate — they don't confirm. Use price structure (support/resistance), higher timeframe trend, or other confirmation before entry.
Step 5: Manage Position
Exit markers show backtester exits. For live trading, consider:
• Time-based exit (signal's hold period)
• Opposite signal exit
• Fixed R:R targets
Step 6: Review Performance
Check Backtest Dashboard regularly. If Win Rate drops below 45% or Expectancy goes negative, reassess parameters or market conditions.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ORIGINALITY STATEMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Innovation 1: Third-Derivative Order Flow Analysis
While first and second derivatives are common, applying third-derivative (jerk) analysis to cumulative volume delta is novel. This captures inflection points that lower-order analysis misses entirely.
Innovation 2: Z-Score Adaptive Thresholds
Rather than fixed thresholds that require per-instrument tuning, z-score normalization creates self-adapting signal levels that work consistently across any liquid instrument.
Innovation 3: Confidence-Weighted Visual System
Dynamic orb sizing and transparency based on signal strength provides intuitive visual hierarchy. Stronger signals literally appear larger and brighter.
Innovation 4: Integrated Accountability
Built-in backtester with optimizer mode enables parameter validation directly on chart. No external tools or spreadsheets required.
Innovation 5: Dual-Pane Execution Visualization
Force-overlay chart signals bridge the gap between indicator pane and price action, enabling immediate visual trade review.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Technical Limitations
• Volume classification uses bar direction (close vs prior close), not tick-level aggressor data. Precision loss estimated 10-15% vs institutional-grade data.
• CVD approximation assumes volume follows price direction. Works well in trending conditions; less precise in choppy markets.
• Backtester uses fixed hold period, not optimal exit logic. Real performance may vary with proper trade management.
Market Limitations
• Requires meaningful volume data. Avoid instruments with reported volume issues.
• Signals may cluster during high-volatility events. Not every signal should be traded.
• Anticipation signals appear early by design. Patience required — price may continue against signal briefly before reversing.
Risk Disclosure
• Trading involves risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
• This indicator provides analysis tools, not financial advice.
• Always use proper position sizing and risk management.
• Backtest results are hypothetical and do not include slippage, commissions, or fees.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS BY MARKET
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL)
Threshold: 1.8-2.2 | Gamma: 3 | GoG: 5 | Volume: 1.3x | TF: 15min-4H
Notes: Higher volatility produces more signals. Consider higher threshold to filter.
Forex Majors (EURUSD, GBPUSD)
Threshold: 2.0-2.5 | Gamma: 4 | GoG: 6 | Volume: 1.2x | TF: 5min-1H
Notes: Lower volatility requires patience. Volume proxy via tick volume works adequately.
Stocks (Large Cap)
Threshold: 2.0-2.5 | Gamma: 3-4 | GoG: 5-6 | Volume: 1.2x | TF: 15min-Daily
Notes: Real volume data provides cleanest signals. Watch for opening/closing auction distortions.
Futures (ES, NQ, CL)
Threshold: 2.0-2.3 | Gamma: 3 | GoG: 5 | Volume: 1.2x | TF: 5min-1H
Notes: Excellent volume data. Session boundaries may produce false signals — consider RTH only.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CONCLUSION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Gamma of Gamma represents a fundamental shift in signal philosophy: from reacting to momentum to anticipating momentum.
By operating at the third derivative of order flow, this system detects the mathematical signatures of regime transition — the moments when current pressure dynamics become unsustainable and reversal becomes probable.
This is not another oscillator telling you what already happened. This is an anticipation engine positioning you for what's about to happen.
Stop chasing. Start anticipating.
RSI tells you where momentum was. GoG tells you where it's going.

Polynomial Trend Exhaustion & DivergencePolynomial Trend Exhaustion & Divergence
Overview
This indicator combines advanced polynomial regression analysis with momentum-based exhaustion detection and forecast-based divergence signals. It identifies potential trend reversals by analyzing when price momentum is fading (exhaustion) and when price direction conflicts with the mathematical trajectory projected by cubic polynomial forecasting (divergence).
The system uses optional source smoothing (Linear Regression Blend or Kalman filtering) to reduce noise before analysis, then applies two independent detection methods to generate high-probability reversal warnings.
Exhaustion Detection
What it detects: Trend exhaustion occurs when price is still moving in one direction but the underlying momentum is weakening—a classic early warning of potential reversal.
How it works:
The indicator calculates either a cubic polynomial regression or Kalman filter trend, then monitors the slope of that trend line. Exhaustion is detected when:
Bullish Exhaustion: The slope is positive (uptrend) but the rate of change of the slope is negative (momentum decelerating)
Bearish Exhaustion: The slope is negative (downtrend) but the rate of change of the slope is positive (momentum decelerating)
Signal filtering:
Consecutive Bars Required: Exhaustion conditions must persist for a configurable number of bars before triggering
Max Repeat Signals: Limits how many consecutive exhaustion signals can fire to prevent clustering
Cooldown Period: After hitting the max signal limit, the indicator pauses before allowing new signals
This produces clean, actionable warnings rather than noise during extended exhaustion phases.
Divergence Detection
What it detects: Divergence signals identify when the polynomial-projected future price path conflicts with current price direction—suggesting price may be overextended and due for a correction toward the forecast.
How it works:
The indicator fits a cubic polynomial to recent price data and extrapolates it forward by a configurable number of bars. It then compares:
Current price direction (rising or falling over the lookback period)
Forecast position (above or below current price)
Divergence triggers when:
Bullish Divergence: Price is falling but the polynomial forecast is above current price (suggesting upward reversion)
Bearish Divergence: Price is rising but the polynomial forecast is below current price (suggesting downward reversion)
Signal filtering:
Minimum Divergence (ATR): The forecast must be at least X ATRs away from price
Minimum Price Movement (ATR): Price must have moved at least X ATRs over the lookback period (filters out sideways noise)
Consecutive Bars Required: Divergence conditions must persist for X bars before triggering
Cooldown Period: Minimum bars between divergence signals of the same type
Key Features
Dual trend methods: Choose between Polynomial Regression or Kalman filtering for the base trend calculation
Source smoothing options: None, LinReg Blend, or Kalman filter applied to OHLC data before analysis
ATR-normalized thresholds: All filter thresholds adapt to current volatility
Anti-clustering logic: Built-in repeat limits and cooldowns prevent signal spam during extended conditions
Full alert support: All four signal types (Bull/Bear Exhaustion, Bullish/Bearish Divergence) have dedicated alert conditions

Overview
The Elite Detector is a non-repainting indicator that merges Smart Money Concepts, Adaptive Volatility-Based Momentum, and Multi-Timeframe Trend Confluence to identify high-probability trade setups. This tool helps confirm institutional intent and market pressure before triggering actionable signals.
Core Systems
Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
• Highlights institutional order blocks
• Detects equal highs/lows as liquidity zones
• Automatically cleans up outdated zones for clarity
Adaptive Momentum Engine
• Momentum calculated with volatility-adjusted smoothing
• Normalized scale from -100 to +100
• Candle coloring reflects trend strength dynamically
Squeeze Detection System
• Flags volatility contraction zones using Bollinger and Keltner channels
• Background shading highlights compression zones
• Histogram shows directional breakout pressure
Multi-Timeframe Trend Validation
• Aligns signals with higher timeframe momentum
• Built-in logic auto-selects appropriate HTF per chart
• Reduces false signals and improves timing
Signal Logic
Buy Signal appears when:
Momentum crosses from negative to positive
Squeeze condition is active
Higher timeframe confirms bullish trend
Sell Signal appears when:
Momentum crosses from positive to negative
Squeeze condition is active
Higher timeframe confirms bearish trend
All signals are non-repainting and appear only once all conditions are met.
Visual Dashboard (Top-Right Corner)
Displays real-time confirmation across five categories:
Momentum: Current trend direction and strength
Squeeze: Indicates if volatility is compressed
HTF Trend: Confirms higher-timeframe alignment
Volatility: Current volatility phase (low, normal, or high)
Signal Status: Buy, Sell, or Neutral (Wait)
Chart Visuals
Candle Colors:
• Bright green/red = Strong momentum
• Faded green/red = Weak momentum
Background Colors:
• Orange = Squeeze is active
• Clear = Normal market activity
Boxes:
• Green = Bullish order blocks
• Red = Bearish order blocks
Dashed Lines:
• Red = Equal highs (liquidity zones above)
• Green = Equal lows (liquidity zones below)
Alert Conditions
Includes three prebuilt alerts for automation and webhook systems:
Elite Buy Signal
Elite Sell Signal
Squeeze Activation
These alerts allow users to respond to market shifts in real time or integrate with automated trading workflows.
Best Practices
Wait for Confluence: Confirm all three systems (momentum, squeeze, HTF trend) before entering
Watch Order Blocks: Institutional zones often act as support/resistance
Monitor Liquidity Zones: Be cautious of stop hunts near equal highs/lows
Use Dashboard Cues: Let the HUD validate your setup
Always Use Risk Management: This tool increases probability, not certainty
Example Setup:
1. Squeeze background appears
2. Buy signal triangle confirms
3. Dashboard shows: Momentum strong up, Squeeze on, HTF trend up
4. Price bounces off green order block
→ High-probability long entry
Why It Works
This tool leverages multiple uncorrelated concepts to filter low-quality trades and highlight setups with real institutional backing:
Order Blocks and Liquidity Zones track smart money footprints
Volatility-adjusted Momentum captures real energy shifts
Multi-Timeframe Confluence confirms trades in the broader context
Non-repainting signals ensure reliability
Final Note
The Elite Detector is designed to show you:
Where smart money is positioned,
When the market is coiling for a move,
and Which direction is supported by momentum and trend.
Use it as your high-probability entry engine — across any market or timeframe.

Mobius Trend Pivot (NPR21 v6)Mobius Trend Pivot (NPR21 v6)
Overview
This indicator identifies trend pivots using higher highs with higher lows (bullish trends) and lower lows with lower highs (bearish trends). Originally created by Mobius (V01.01.29.2019) for ThinkOrSwim, this Pine Script conversion maintains the original logic while fixing critical rendering issues found in previous TradingView versions.
How It Works
The indicator tracks price trends over a user-defined lookback period (default n=5) to establish pivot points. When a valid trend pivot forms, the indicator plots:
Red zone (bearish): Upper pivot line with confirmation level below
Green zone (bullish): Lower pivot line with confirmation level above
White dashed lines: Risk-off levels for position management
Confirmation levels are calculated as a multiple (R_Mult, default 0.7) of the Average True Range at the pivot.
Trading Rules (from Mobius original code)
Entry: Trade when price crosses and closes outside the pivot confirmation line
Risk Management: Use the pivot line itself as your risk point - exit if crossed (avoid hard stops)
Risk-Off: Target an ATR multiple for initial profit taking to achieve a risk-free trade
Stop Management: Move mental stop to break-even once risk-off is achieved
Runner Management: Adjust mental stop to new support/resistance levels as they form
What Makes This Version Different
NPR21 v6 fixes critical bugs present in other TradingView versions:
✅ Consistent transparency - The red/green cloud fills maintain constant 85% transparency and no longer progressively darken over time
✅ No overlapping renders - Eliminated the issue where multiple indicator instances would layer on top of each other, creating visual clutter
✅ Proper memory management - Implements linefill deletion/recreation logic to prevent object accumulation
✅ Clean visual display - Matches the original ThinkOrSwim appearance with professional-looking zones
Key Features
Automatic pivot detection based on price structure
Dynamic support/resistance zones
Built-in risk management levels
Alert capability for pivot confirmation crossovers
Minimal lag - responds quickly to trend changes
Works on all timeframes and instruments
Settings
n (default 5): How many bars to look back for trend confirmation
R_Mult (default 0.7): Adjusts how far the confirmation lines sit from pivots
Lower n = more sensitive, more signals
Higher n = less sensitive, fewer signals
Color Scheme
Red lines/zones: Bearish pivots and short trade setups
Green lines/zones: Bullish pivots and long trade setups
White dashed lines: Risk-off target levels
Best Practices
Use 2+ contracts to implement the risk-off strategy
Combine with price action and volume for confirmation
Adjust n and R_Mult based on instrument volatility
Works best on liquid futures and forex pairs
Consider using higher timeframes for swing trades

Institutional Confluence Nexus [Pro]The Problem: Noise vs. Signal
In the world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), traders are often overwhelmed by "chart clutter." Standard indicators blindly highlight every Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB), regardless of whether the market is trending, ranging, or dead. This leads to analysis paralysis and low-probability entries.
The Institutional Confluence Nexus was built to solve this. It is not just a structure detector; it is a filtering engine. It uses a multi-factor model to hide low-probability zones and only highlight setups where Structure, Volume, and Momentum align.
The "Quantum" Integration
This script includes a built-in Quantum Regression Oscillator (QRO) engine running in the background. Unlike standard RSI or MACD which are reactive (lagging), the QRO uses Linear Regression mathematics to project momentum trajectory.
By combining institutional structure (Price Action) with quantum momentum (Math), this tool generates specific high-probability signals that only appear when price action and momentum are in perfect agreement.
How It Works & Visual Guide
This indicator is a complete trading suite. Here is what every symbol and color on your chart represents:
1. The "Nexus" Reversal Signals (Triangles)
Symbol : Green Triangle (Up) / Red Triangle (Down) labeled NEXUS.
Logic : These appear when price taps a valid Order Block that aligns with the macro trend (200 EMA).
Meaning : These are your primary "Trend Join" setups. They indicate that the institutional trend is resuming after a retracement.
2. High-Volume Breakouts (Bar Colors)
Symbol : Yellow Candles (Bullish) / Orange Candles (Bearish).
Logic : The script detects when a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs with Above-Average Volume.
Meaning : A breakout without volume is often a fakeout. These colored bars confirm that institutions are fueling the move. If you see a Yellow bar, it means "Smart Money" is buying the breakout.
3. QRO Confluence Signals (Labels)
These are the most advanced signals in the suite, combining Price Action with the internal Oscillator:
SNIPER (Blue/Purple) : The strongest reversal signal.
Condition : Price taps a Fair Value Gap + The internal QRO is at extreme volatility bands (Oversold/Overbought).
PB BUY / PB SELL (Aqua/Orange) : A trend continuation signal.
Condition : Price pulls back into a Fair Value Gap + The internal QRO confirms momentum is still healthy (above/below midline).
Note : These signals automatically draw a Red Line at the invalidation point (Stop Loss) to help you manage risk immediately.
4. The Confluence Dashboard
A non-intrusive Heads-Up Display (HUD) in the corner gives you a snapshot of the market state:
Trend : Is price above/below the 200 EMA?
Volume : Is current volume anomalous (High) or normal?
Structure : Are we breaking up, down, or ranging?
Settings & Customization
Smart Money Structure: Toggle FVGs and Order Blocks on/off.
FVG Extend: Control how far the gap "zones" extend to the right to see them as support/resistance zones.
Volume Filter: Enable/Disable the volume requirement (Keep enabled for higher strike rate).
Risk Management: Adjust the "Lookback" period for the automatic Stop Loss lines.
For Developers (Open Source)
I have kept the code open-source to foster learning in the Pine Script community. You can study how:
ta.linreg is used to smooth RSI data for the internal QRO engine.
box.new and line.new are used for dynamic drawing and extending zones.
var variables are used to store historical FVG levels to detect precise crossovers.

ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF [PhenLabs]📊 ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF indicator combines Approximate Entropy analysis with cumulative volume delta to identify high-probability support and resistance zones. Approximate Entropy (ApEn) measures the complexity and unpredictability in price data—when ApEn drops significantly, it signals a transition from chaotic to ordered market behavior, often preceding reversals or continuations.
This indicator goes beyond simple ApEn detection by integrating Delta confirmation, which validates zones using volume-based order flow analysis. When a zone forms with Delta confirmation, it indicates institutional participation aligning with the price structure. The multi-timeframe capability allows traders to detect zones forming on higher timeframes while executing on their preferred chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
First indicator to combine ApEn complexity analysis with cumulative Delta confirmation for zone validation
Pre-built calculation presets eliminate guesswork—optimized parameters for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Smart zone management automatically removes invalidated zones after two price rejections
Multi-timeframe architecture detects zones on configurable timeframes independent of chart timeframe
Visual style presets provide instant customization from high contrast to subtle overlays
Delta threshold system distinguishes between regular zones and institutionally-confirmed zones
🔧 Core Components
ApEn Calculator: Measures pattern regularity using embedding dimension (m=2) and tolerance factor (r) against price standard deviation to quantify market complexity
Delta Engine: Computes cumulative delta from volume and price movement, comparing against statistical thresholds to identify significant order flow divergence
Zone Generator: Creates visual box zones at signal points with dynamic sizing based on bar range and confirmation status
MTF Request Handler: Fetches ApEn calculations from user-specified timeframe using security() calls for higher timeframe alignment
Zone Manager: Tracks zone interactions, counts rejections, and automatically purges zones that have been tested twice
🔥 Key Features
Calculation Presets: Choose from Aggressive, Conservative, Scalping 1m, Strong Scalping, Swing Trading, or Default—each preset optimizes all parameters for specific trading styles
Visual Style Presets: Select Default, High Contrast, Subtle, Classic, Neutral, or Neutral Reverse to match your chart theme and preference
Delta Confirmation: Zones display with enhanced opacity when cumulative delta confirms institutional participation in the direction of the zone
Automatic Zone Cleanup: Zones self-destruct after two rejections, keeping your chart clean and focused on active levels
Alert System: Four alert conditions for buy zones, sell zones, strong buy signals, and strong sell signals
Maximum Zone Control: Limits display to 5 zones per direction to prevent chart clutter
🎨 Visualization
Buy Zones: Displayed as horizontal boxes at low points when ApEn crosses under threshold—lighter transparency indicates regular zone, darker indicates Delta confirmation
Sell Zones: Displayed as horizontal boxes at high points when ApEn crosses over threshold—visual confirmation follows same transparency logic
Zone Boundaries: Each zone extends 10% of bar range above and below the signal level, providing clear entry and stop areas
Dynamic Extension: All zones automatically extend rightward with each new bar until invalidated
📖 Usage Guidelines
Calculation Preset Selection
Scalping 1m / Strong Scalping: Use for 1-5 minute charts with faster signal generation and tighter thresholds (Length: 15, Zone Length: 5)
Aggressive: Shorter lookback (Length: 10) generates more zones with lower confirmation requirements—higher frequency, more noise
Default: Balanced parameters suitable for 5-15 minute charts (Length: 15, Zone Threshold: 0.5, Delta Length: 4)
Conservative: Extended lookback (Length: 30) with stricter thresholds—fewer but higher probability zones
Swing Trading: Longest parameters (Length: 40, Zone Length: 20) for 1H-4H charts capturing major structural zones
Visual Style Selection
High Contrast: Bright green/red for maximum visibility on any background
Subtle: Muted green/red with transparency for minimal chart distraction
Classic: Traditional lime green and crimson color scheme
Neutral / Neutral Reverse: Grayscale tones for non-directional bias visualization
Timeframe Configuration
Default timeframe is set to 1 minute—adjust based on your execution timeframe
For scalping: Set zone timeframe 1-3x your chart timeframe
For swing trading: Set zone timeframe to 4H or Daily while viewing 1H charts
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying reversal zones during high-volatility market conditions
Confirming support/resistance levels with volume-based order flow validation
Scalping entries on lower timeframes with higher timeframe zone confluence
Filtering trade setups by requiring Delta confirmation before entry
Setting stop losses beyond zone boundaries after rejection tests
Swing trade positioning at zones detected on 4H/Daily timeframes
⚠️ Limitations
ApEn calculations are computationally intensive—may experience slower loading on very long chart histories
Delta estimation uses (close - open) * volume approximation, not actual order flow data
Zones require sufficient price history—indicator needs max_bars_back of 2000 bars for proper calculation
Low volume instruments may produce unreliable Delta confirmation signals
Zone rejections are counted based on price interaction, not candle close confirmation
Maximum of 5 zones per direction limits visibility during highly active markets
💡 What Makes This Unique
Entropy-Based Detection: Uses mathematical complexity analysis rather than simple price patterns to identify zones
Dual Confirmation System: Combines ApEn signals with Delta divergence for higher probability setups
Adaptive Presets: Six calculation presets and six visual styles create 36 possible configurations without manual parameter adjustment
Self-Managing Zones: Automatic invalidation after two rejections mimics how professional traders track level degradation
🔬 How It Works
Step 1 - ApEn Calculation: The indicator computes Approximate Entropy by measuring how often similar patterns of length m repeat within tolerance r multiplied by standard deviation—lower values indicate more predictable (ordered) price behavior
Step 2 - Signal Generation: Buy signals trigger when higher timeframe ApEn crosses under the average ApEn divided by threshold; sell signals trigger when ApEn crosses over average multiplied by threshold
Step 3 - Delta Confirmation: Cumulative delta is compared against its moving average plus/minus standard deviation times threshold—extreme readings confirm institutional order flow alignment
Step 4 - Zone Creation: Visual boxes are drawn at signal bars with dimensions based on bar range; confirmed zones receive enhanced opacity while unconfirmed zones appear more transparent
Step 5 - Zone Lifecycle: Active zones extend with each bar and track price interactions; after two rejections (price touches zone but reverses), the zone is automatically deleted
💡 Note:
This indicator works best when combined with trend analysis and market structure. Use calculation presets as starting points and adjust the Zone Timeframe setting to align with your trading methodology. Delta confirmation significantly improves zone reliability but requires volume data—instruments with low or unreported volume should rely primarily on ApEn signals alone. Always validate signals with price action context before executing trades.
Weinstein Stage AnalysisWeinstein Stage Analysis
This is an enhanced version of Stan Weinstein's classic Stage Analysis, optimized for visual clarity on dark themes. The indicator instantly colors your candlesticks based on the current Weinstein Stage using a bright, fully opaque color scheme that stands out strongly even on dark charts.
Key Features:
- Uses Weekly 30-period SMA (customizable length) as the primary reference line
- Supports "Within Range %" parameter – set to 0% for super-strong stocks that must stay clearly above/below the MA
- Four distinct stages with vivid colors:
• Stage 1 (Accumulation) – Bright Cyan (#00FFFF) – Stock is basing or consolidating near the MA
• Stage 2 (Uptrend) – Bright Green (#00CD00) – Strong uptrend, price clearly above the weekly MA
• Stage 3 (Topping) – Bright Orange (#FFAA00) – Price is still above MA but weakening (potential distribution)
• Stage 4 (Downtrend) – Bright Red (#FF0000) – Strong downtrend, price clearly below the weekly MA
- Automatic stage transition logic with perfect color persistence (no flickering)
- Super visible on both light and dark themes – colors are 100% opaque and highly saturated
- Plots the Weekly 30 SMA as a thick white line for easy reference
How to Use:
1. Add to any chart (works best on daily or weekly timeframes)
2. For very strong momentum stocks, set "Within Range %" to 0% – this forces the indicator to only show Stage 2 when price is clearly above the MA
3. Use default 30-period length or adjust based on your preference
4. Watch for clean stage transitions – especially the switch from Stage 3 (orange) to Stage 4 (red) as a strong sell signal, or Stage 1 (cyan) to Stage 2 (green) as a powerful buy signal
Hooke's Law: Market ElasticityHooke's Law: Market Elasticity is a physics-based mean reversion system that models price action using the principles of Classical Mechanics.
Most technical indicators treat the market as a purely statistical entity. This script takes a different approach, treating the market as a physical object with Mass (Volume) and Stiffness (Volatility) . By adapting Hooke’s Law of Elasticity (𝐹=−𝑘𝑋), it visualizes the "Tensile Stress" between price and its equilibrium, identifying the exact moment when a trend becomes unsustainable and must "snap back."
The Physics of Trading
In physics, Hooke's Law states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance it is stretched. We map this to financial markets using four key components:
Equilibrium (𝑋=0): The "Resting State" of the market, calculated using a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) . This represents the fair value where buyers and sellers agree.
2. Displacement (𝑋): The distance price travels away from this equilibrium.
3. Spring Constant (𝑘): We use Volatility (Standard Deviation) to measure the market's "stiffness."
• Low Volatility: The spring is loose; price can wander far without snapping.
• High Volatility: The spring is stiff; even small deviations create massive tension.
4. Force (𝐹): The calculation is weighted by Relative Volume . A price spike on low volume has low force (easy to reverse), while a spike on high volume carries high momentum (harder to reverse).
Visual Guide & Signals
The indicator uses a hierarchy of visuals to guide you through the trade lifecycle:
1. The Elastic Ribbon (Heatmap)
Connects Price to the Baseline. As the ribbon turns Solid White , the market has reached its Elastic Limit (Critical Zone). This is your warning that a move is overextended.
2. The "Golden" Labels (LONG / SHORT)
These are your Entry Signals . They appear only when the physics "snap" is confirmed by an internal momentum filter and price action.
3. The Small Circles (Minor Reversions)
These dots represent "Minor Snaps." They occur when the elastic tension releases, but the momentum filter hasn't fully confirmed a major reversal.
• Usage: These are excellent Early Warning signs or Scale-In points for aggressive traders.
Strategy: Entries, Exits & Take Profits
This script is designed as a complete system. Here is how to manage the trade using the visual cues:
• Entry: Wait for a LONG or SHORT label to appear.
• Stop Loss: Use the Solid White Line that appears automatically with the signal. If price touches this line, the physics setup has failed—exit immediately.
• Take Profit 1 (The Equilibrium): The Gray Baseline represents the market's center of gravity. In mean reversion trading, price tends to snap back to this line. This is the statistically highest-probability target.
• Take Profit 2 (The Circles): If you are in a trade and a Circle appears in the opposite direction, it indicates the market is experiencing counter-tension. This is an ideal place to secure partial profits or trail your stop.
Settings & Configuration
• Baseline Length (Default: 34): The lookback period for the Center of Gravity.
• Elasticity Limit (Default: 2.618): The Golden Ratio is used as the standard deviation threshold for the "Critical Zone."
• Volume Weighting (Default: True): Recommended. Adds the "Mass" component to the physics calculation.
• Stop Loss Buffer (Default: 0.5): The distance (in Sigma) for the Stop Loss placement.
Risk Disclaimer
Not Financial Advice: This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes only. It visualizes market data based on mathematical formulas (Hooke's Law and Statistical Deviation) and does not guarantee future performance or profits.
Market Risks: Financial trading involves significant risk. The "Critical Zones" and "Signals" generated by this script identify statistical extremes, but markets can remain irrational or overextended for long periods ("Plastic Deformation").
Usage: Do not trade blindly based on these signals. Always use this tool in conjunction with your own analysis, risk management, and stop-losses. The author assumes no responsibility for any trading losses incurred while using this script.
Key Zone$ - Support and Resistance0DTE Bounce Zones (6M) — Support & Resistance with VWAP, Volume, and Risk Management
This indicator is built for intraday and 0DTE options trading, focused on high-quality bounce and rejection setups at historically proven support and resistance zones.
It automatically identifies key zones from six months of historical price action and waits for real-time confirmation before signaling CALL or PUT opportunities. The goal is to reduce noise, avoid weak bounces, and provide clear, rules-based trade structure.
====================================================================
CORE FEATURES
====================================================================
Historical Support & Resistance Zones (6 Months)
Zones are built using 15-minute pivot highs and lows.
A zone must be tested at least 3 times to be considered valid.
Nearby zones are merged automatically to reduce clutter.
Zones extend forward in time and update dynamically.
Support zones are shown in green, resistance zones in red.
These are higher-quality structural levels, not same-day levels.
====================================================================
0DTE-Focused Entry Logic
Signals only trigger when price interacts with a confirmed zone and shows a strong rejection candle.
Signals are limited to high-probability trading windows only.
Market Open: 9:30–10:45 ET
Market Close: 3:00–4:00 ET
This avoids midday chop and focuses on periods with real momentum.
====================================================================
VWAP Confirmation (Strict)
CALL setups require a VWAP reclaim.
PUT setups require a VWAP loss.
This aligns trades with institutional order flow instead of counter-trend noise.
====================================================================
MACD Momentum Filter
MACD histogram behavior is used to confirm momentum direction and avoid taking bounces against the prevailing move.
====================================================================
ATR Candle Strength Filter
The signal candle must be large enough relative to ATR.
This filters out weak or indecisive candles that often fail with 0DTE.
====================================================================
Advanced Volume Confirmation (Relative Volume)
Relative Volume (RVOL) is used instead of raw volume.
Different RVOL thresholds are applied for CALLS versus PUTS.
Higher RVOL is required for PUTS due to downside urgency.
Lower RVOL is allowed for CALLS due to grind-up behavior.
Separate RVOL thresholds are used for the market open and market close.
This ensures signals only occur when real participation is present.
====================================================================
Built-In Risk Management (2:1 Reward/Risk)
Every signal automatically calculates an entry, stop loss, and target.
Stop loss is based on the zone edge with an ATR buffer.
Targets default to a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
Entry, stop, and target levels are drawn directly on the chart and included in alerts.
====================================================================
Smart Alerts (CALLS & PUTS)
Alerts trigger only when all conditions are met.
Alerts include trade direction, entry price, stop price, target price, and RVOL information.
Alerts are designed for 5-minute confirmation trading.
To use alerts, select “Any alert() function call” when creating the alert.
====================================================================
INTENDED USE
====================================================================
0DTE options trading.
5-minute chart confirmation.
Index ETFs and liquid equities such as SPY, QQQ, IWM, and SPX.
Traders who want aggressive entries with confirmation.
Traders who value structure, volume, and risk control.
====================================================================
NOTES
====================================================================
This is not a prediction tool.
Signals require discipline and confirmation.
Best results come from trading only the highest-quality setups.
Pro Cumulative Volume RSI# Pro Cumulative Volume RSI - Professional Trading Indicator
## 📊 What is it?
The **Pro Cumulative Volume RSI** is an advanced momentum oscillator that analyzes buying and selling pressure through volume distribution. Unlike traditional RSI that only tracks price movements, this indicator separates volume into buying and selling components, providing two distinct RSI calculations that reveal market dynamics from both perspectives.
## 🔍 How Does It Work?
### Volume Distribution Algorithm
The indicator uses a sophisticated volume distribution method:
**Buying Volume (BV)** = Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
**Selling Volume (SV)** = Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low)
This formula proportionally allocates volume based on where the candle closes within its range:
- If close is near the high → More buying volume
- If close is near the low → More selling volume
### Dual RSI Calculation
The indicator then calculates **two separate RSI values**:
1. **Green Line (Buying Volume RSI)**: Measures the dominance of buying pressure
2. **Red Line (Selling Volume RSI)**: Measures the dominance of selling pressure
Each RSI follows the traditional 14-period calculation but applies it to the volume pressure differences rather than price changes.
## 🎯 How to Use It
### Signal Interpretation
| Scenario | Meaning | Action |
|----------|---------|--------|
| Green > 70, Red < 30 | Strong buying dominance | Consider buying / Hold long |
| Red > 70, Green < 30 | Strong selling dominance | Consider selling / Avoid longs |
| Green crosses above Red | Momentum shift to buyers | Potential buy signal |
| Red crosses above Green | Momentum shift to sellers | Potential sell signal |
| Both near 50 | Balanced market | Wait for confirmation |
### Key Features
**1. Crossover Signals**
- **BUY signal**: When green line crosses above red line with sufficient momentum
- **SELL signal**: When red line crosses above green line with sufficient momentum
- Triangle markers appear automatically on the chart
**2. Divergence Detection**
- **Bullish Divergence (DIV+)**: Price makes lower lows but indicator makes higher lows → Potential reversal up
- **Bearish Divergence (DIV-)**: Price makes higher highs but indicator makes lower highs → Potential reversal down
- Yellow/orange circles mark divergences automatically
**3. Background Coloring**
- **Green background**: Buying pressure dominates
- **Red background**: Selling pressure dominates
- Intensity shows strength of pressure
**4. Live Status Table**
- Real-time RSI values for both buying and selling
- Current momentum status
- Market pressure assessment
- Last detected signal
### Settings Customization
**Basic Settings:**
- **RSI Period**: Default 14, adjust based on your trading timeframe (shorter = more sensitive)
**Visual Settings:**
- **Histogram Mode**: Toggle between line and histogram display
- **Background Coloring**: Enable/disable pressure-based background
- **Transparency**: Adjust background opacity
**Signal Settings:**
- **Crossover Signals**: Show/hide BUY/SELL markers
- **Divergence Detection**: Enable automatic divergence spotting
- **Sensitivity**: Low/Medium/High - controls how strong momentum must be for signals
**Level Lines:**
- **Overbought/Oversold**: Adjust threshold levels (default 70/30)

❌ **Don't** trade against strong momentum without confirmation
❌ **Don't** forget about major support/resistance levels
❌ **Don't** over-leverage based on indicator signals
❌ **Don't** ignore fundamental catalysts
### Best Practices
✅ **Wait for confluence**: Multiple indicators agreeing
✅ **Consider market context**: Bull/bear market conditions
✅ **Use appropriate timeframes**: Match your trading style
✅ **Backtest first**: Test on historical data before live trading
✅ **Keep a trading journal**: Track what works and what doesn't
✅ **Respect your risk management rules**: Always
## 📈 Example Trading Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Strong Trend Following
- **Setup**: Green RSI consistently above 50, price in uptrend
- **Confirmation**: Higher timeframe trend is up, price above major MA
- **Entry**: BUY signal on pullback when green crosses red
- **Stop Loss**: Below recent swing low
- **Exit**: When red RSI crosses above green or divergence appears
### Scenario 2: Reversal Trading
- **Setup**: Bullish divergence (DIV+) appears at support level
- **Confirmation**: Price shows bullish candlestick pattern, other oscillators oversold
- **Entry**: After confirmation candle closes
- **Stop Loss**: Below divergence low
- **Exit**: At resistance or when momentum weakens
### Scenario 3: Avoiding False Signals
- **Signal**: BUY signal appears
- **Check**: Price is at strong resistance, higher timeframe shows downtrend
- **Action**: **SKIP the trade** - context overrides signal
- **Result**: Protected capital by avoiding low-probability setup

Quantum Regression Oscillator [ICN]The Problem: The Lag of Standard Oscillators
Most traders rely on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or MACD to gauge momentum. While these are legendary tools, they suffer from a critical flaw: Lag. They calculate what has happened, often giving signals after the move is already halfway done.
The Quantum Regression Oscillator (QRO) was built to solve this. It is not a simple average; it is a predictive engine.
The "Quantum" Math (How It Works)
Instead of using standard smoothing (like SMA or EMA) which drags data backward, the QRO uses Linear Regression Analysis on the RSI data itself.
Linear Regression Core : The script calculates the "Line of Best Fit" for momentum in real-time. This allows the oscillator to react to price changes faster than price itself in some instances, effectively "predicting" the next tick of momentum.
Dynamic Volatility Bands : Unlike fixed bands (e.g., 70/30 on RSI), the QRO uses standard deviation bands that expand and contract with market volatility. This means "Overbought" is not a fixed number—it adapts to the market's energy.
Visual Guide : Reading the Oscillator
1. The Quantum Line (The Main Curve)
What it is : The smooth, fast-moving line oscillating between 0 and 100.
How to read it:
Crossing Midline (50) : The baseline for trend. Above 50 is Bullish Momentum; Below 50 is Bearish Momentum.
Slope : Because it uses regression, the angle of the line is a signal itself. A sharp turn often precedes price action.
2. The Dynamic Bands (The Shaded Zones)
What they are: The Blue (Lower) and Red (Upper) zones.
How to read it:
Oversold (Blue Zone) : When the line enters the Blue zone, price is statistically overextended to the downside. This is a "Sniper Buy" zone.
Overbought (Red Zone) : When the line enters the Red zone, price is statistically overextended to the upside. This is a "Sniper Sell" zone.
3. Divergence Detection
The QRO is excellent at spotting divergences. If Price makes a Higher High but the QRO makes a Lower High (while in the Red Zone), a reversal is mathematically probable.
Integration with the ICN Suite
While this oscillator is powerful as a standalone tool, it is the "Engine" behind the Institutional Confluence Nexus .
Standalone : Use it to spot divergences and momentum shifts with zero lag.
With ICN : The main chart indicator reads data from this oscillator to generate "Sniper" and "Pullback" signals automatically.

NVentures Liquidity Radar ProInstitutional Liquidity Radar Pro
OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three institutional trading concepts into a unified confluence scoring system: Liquidity Zones (swing-based), Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps. The unique value lies not in these individual concepts, but in HOW they interact through the confluence scoring algorithm to filter high-probability zones.
HOW THE CONFLUENCE SCORING WORKS
The core innovation is the calcConfluence() function that assigns a numerical score to each detected level:
1. Base Score: Every swing pivot starts with score = 1
2. Zone Overlap Detection: The algorithm iterates through all active zones within confDist * ATR proximity. Each overlapping zone adds +1 to the score
3. Order Block Proximity: If an Order Block's midpoint (top + bottom) / 2 falls within the confluence distance, +1 is added
4. HTF Validation: Using request.security(), the indicator fetches higher timeframe swing pivots. If the current zone aligns with an HTF swing within 2 * confDist * ATR_htf, a +2 bonus is awarded
Zones scoring 4+ are highlighted as high confluence - these represent areas where multiple institutional concepts converge.
HOW LIQUIDITY ZONES ARE CALCULATED
Detection: ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() with configurable lookback (default: 5 bars left/right)
Zone Width - Three modes available:
- ATR Dynamic: ATR(14) * multiplier (default 0.25)
- Fixed %: close * (percentage / 100)
- Wick Based: max(upperWick, lowerWick) * 1.5
Proximity Filter: isTooClose() prevents clustering by enforcing minimum ATR * minATRdist between zones
HOW ORDER BLOCKS ARE DETECTED
The detectBullishOB() / detectBearishOB() functions identify the last opposing candle before an impulse move:
1. Check if candle is opposing direction (bearish before bullish impulse, vice versa)
2. Validate consecutive candles in impulse direction (configurable, default: 3)
3. Volume confirmation: volume >= volMA * volMult (using 50-period SMA)
4. Minimum move validation: abs(close - close ) > ATR
This filters out weak OBs and focuses on those with institutional volume footprints.
HOW FAIR VALUE GAPS ARE DETECTED
FVGs represent price imbalances:
- Bullish FVG: low - high > ATR * fvgMinSize
- Bearish FVG: low - high > ATR * fvgMinSize
The ATR-relative sizing ensures gaps are significant relative to current volatility.
HOW SWEEP DETECTION WORKS
The checkSweep() function identifies false breakouts through wick analysis:
1. Calculate wick percentage: upperWick / totalRange or lowerWick / totalRange
2. Sweep conditions for resistance: high > zone.upper AND close < zone.price AND wickPct >= threshold
3. Sweep conditions for support: low < zone.lower AND close > zone.price AND wickPct >= threshold
A sweep indicates liquidity was grabbed without genuine continuation - often preceding reversals.
HOW FRESHNESS DECAY WORKS
The calcFreshness() function implements linear decay:
freshness = 1.0 - (age / decayBars)
freshness = max(freshness, minFresh)
This ensures old, tested zones fade visually while fresh zones remain prominent.
WHY THESE COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER
The synergy is based on the principle that institutional activity leaves multiple footprints:
- Swing Pivots = where retail stops cluster
- Order Blocks = where institutions entered
- FVGs = where aggressive institutional orders created imbalances
- HTF Alignment = where higher timeframe participants are active
When these footprints converge at the same price level (high confluence score), the probability of significant price reaction increases.
CONFIGURATION
- Swing Detection Length: 5-8 for intraday, 8-15 for swing trading
- HTF Timeframe: One level above trading TF (e.g., D for H4)
- Min Confluence to Display: 2 for comprehensive view, 3-4 for high-probability only
- FVGs: Disabled by default for cleaner charts
STATISTICS PANEL
Displays: Active resistance/support zones, high confluence count, swept zones, active OBs, active FVGs, current ATR, selected HTF.
ALERTS
- Price approaching high confluence zone
- Liquidity sweep detected
- Bullish/Bearish Order Block formed
- Bullish/Bearish FVG detected
TECHNICAL NOTES
- Uses User-Defined Types (UDTs) for clean data structure management
- Respects Pine Script drawing limits (500 boxes/labels/lines)
- All calculations are ATR-normalized for cross-market compatibility
Anchored LRL using ZigZag AnchorAnchored Linear Regression Channel - ZigZag Pivot
The Anchored Linear Regression Channel (LRL) dynamically anchors to the most recent ZigZag pivot point, providing traders with a regression-based channel that resets with each significant price swing.
HOW IT WORKS:
This indicator combines ZigZag pivot detection with linear regression analysis. When price reverses by a specified ATR multiple, a new pivot is identified. After a minimum number of bars, the linear regression channel anchors to this pivot and projects forward to the current bar, recalculating with each new bar.
KEY FEATURES:
- Dynamic anchoring to ZigZag highs and lows
- Customizable ATR-based reversal detection
- Two standard deviation channel bands (inner and outer)
- Adjustable minimum bars before anchor reset (ideal for scalping on lower timeframes)
- Separate controls for ZigZag smoothing vs. anchor reset timing
- Color-coded regression line (up/down trend)
- Optional line extension to the right
- Fully customizable colors and line widths
- Visual label marking the anchor pivot point
INPUTS:
- ATR Reversal: Multiplier for ATR-based pivot detection (default: 2.0)
- MA Length: EMA smoothing for ZigZag calculation (default: 5)
- ATR Length: Period for ATR calculation (default: 5)
- Min Bars After Pivot: Bars required before anchor resets (default: 3, reduce to 1-2 for faster scalping)
- Channel Widths: Inner (0.70) and Outer (1.00) standard deviation multiples
- Line Colors: Customizable colors for uptrend/downtrend and channel lines
- Label Colors: Customizable background and text colors
HOW TO USE:
1. Apply the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust "Min Bars After Pivot" based on your timeframe:
- 1-minute charts: Use 1-2 bars for quick scalping entries
- 5-minute+ charts: Use 3-5 bars for more confirmation
3. Watch for the regression line color to indicate trend direction
4. Use channel bands as potential support/resistance zones
5. The label shows which pivot (high/low) the channel is anchored to
BEST PRACTICES:
- Lower timeframes (1-5 min): Use lower "Min Bars After Pivot" (1-3) for faster reaction
- Higher timeframes: Use higher values (5+) for more confirmed pivots
- Combine with price action and volume for confirmation
- Adjust ATR Reversal based on instrument volatility
NOTES:
- This indicator repaints as it recalculates with each new bar
- Channel resets when a new ZigZag pivot is confirmed
- Not suitable for backtesting strategies due to dynamic nature
- Works best on liquid instruments with clear price swings

Multi-Factor ConsensusMFC (Market Field Coherence)
A Triumph of Complexity: The Fusion of Three Professional Engines to Visualize the Unified
Mind of the Market
█ OVERVIEW: BEYOND THE INDICATOR
This is not another lagging indicator. This is a command suite.
MFC (Market Field Coherence) is not a single tool, but a seamless integration of three professional-grade, independent analytical engines fused into a singular, awe-inspiring system. It's a masterwork of signal processing and applied mathematics designed to visualize the invisible—the collective, underlying state of the market.
It moves beyond the simplistic analysis of individual price bars to measure something far more profound: the degree of emergent coherence across an entire ensemble of market oscillators. While traditional tools see the market as a series of disconnected data points, MFC sees it as a dynamic, fluctuating field of forces. By deploying its three specialized engines, MFC identifies moments of critical transition when disparate, chaotic market inputs converge into a single, unified, and tradable state of being. It measures the very instant the "noise" becomes a "symphony," and generates signals only when all three engines are in unanimous agreement.
█ A TRINITY OF SYSTEMS: THREE INDICATORS IN ONE
MFC's unparalleled precision comes from its unique tripartite architecture. It is not a monolithic tool. It is a fusion of three distinct, professional-grade analytical engines, each performing a critical and independent function. Their synergy is what produces the high-quality, filtered signals and the profound analytical clarity.
ENGINE 1: The Quantum Coherence Engine
The heart of the system. This is a pure regime-detection indicator. Its sole purpose is to perform the heavy lifting of converting the oscillator ensemble into complex-plane phasors and calculating the two most critical metrics: the Coherence Index (CI) and the Dominant Phase . It constantly works to answer the primary question: " How unified is the market, and in which direction is it leaning? "
ENGINE 2: The Multi-Layer Confirmation Matrix
A high CI from the first engine is not enough. This second, independent engine acts as the ultimate quality filter. It is, in essence, a sophisticated confirmation indicator that runs two rigorous, non-negotiable checks: the Phase-Lock Detector (is the alignment tight enough?) and the Pairwise Entanglement Web (is the alignment broad-based and not a fluke?). This is a purely logical system designed to reject ambiguity, eliminate false positives, and validate the findings of the Coherence Engine. It answers the crucial follow-up question: " Is this detected coherence real, or is it a statistical ghost? "
ENGINE 3: The Advanced Visualization Suite
Raw data is meaningless without interpretation. This third engine is a full-fledged visual indicator in its own right, dedicated to translating the abstract mathematics from the other two engines into an intuitive, multi-dimensional language. Featuring the revolutionary Circular Orbit Plot , the atmospheric Quantum Field Cloud , and deep-dive analytical grids, it allows you to see the market's state in a way that numbers alone never could. It answers the final question: " What does this confirmed state of coherence actually look like? "
An Ignition Signal only fires when all three of these independent systems reach a unanimous conclusion. This is the source of MFC's power and precision.
█ THE PHILOSOPHY & THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
MFC is built upon a synthesis of advanced mathematical frameworks, each chosen for its unique ability to extract a deeper layer of truth from market data. Their combination across the three engines creates a system far greater than the sum of its parts.
1. The Kernel: Gaussian-Weighted Smoothing for Intelligent Lag Reduction
Simple and Exponential Moving Averages are primitive tools. MFC's engines reject them. We employ a Gaussian Kernel for all internal smoothing. This "bell curve" weighting assigns the most significance to the most recent data, gracefully decaying influence for older data. The result is a beautifully smooth yet highly responsive measure of coherence, fundamentally reducing the lag that plagues other systems.
The formula for the weight w at a distance i from the center μ is:
w(i) = exp(- (i - μ)² / (2 * σ²))
2. The Lens: Sigmoid Normalization for Non-Linear State Definition
To compare an RSI of 80 to a MACD of 0.5, MFC utilizes the robust and mathematically elegant Sigmoid (Logistic) Function. Its non-linear, "S-shaped" curve squashes any input into a perfect, bounded range, creating extreme sensitivity near the neutral midpoint and gracefully compressing values at the extremes. This provides a crystal-clear distinction between "weak," "strong," and "extreme" conditions.
f(x) = 1 / (1 + exp(-k * x))
3. The Engine: Complex-Plane Phasors for Coherence Measurement
This is the heart of Engine 1. Each normalized oscillator is transformed from a single scalar value into a two-dimensional vector (a phasor) in the complex plane, capturing its magnitude (strength) and its phase angle (position and velocity).
Resultant Vector (R) = Σ e^(iφₙ) = Σ cos(φₙ) + i·Σ sin(φₙ)
The Coherence Index (CI) is the magnitude of this resultant vector, normalized by the number of oscillators N:
CI = |R| / N
This mathematical blending— Gaussian smoothing for clean data, Sigmoid normalization to define state, and Complex-Plane Analysis to measure collective coherence—is what allows MFC to generate insight that is simply impossible to achieve with conventional tools.
█ THE INPUTS MENU: YOUR COMMAND & CONTROL
Every parameter is exposed, allowing you to fine-tune MFC's three engines to any instrument, timeframe, or trading style. Here is an exhaustive guide:
Oscillator Settings (Engine 1)
Enable/Disable Toggles & Lengths: Construct the perfect ensemble for your market. Shorter lengths for scalping (e.g., 5m chart), longer lengths for swing trading (e.g., 4H chart). Disable any oscillator that consistently acts as an outlier to reduce noise.
Normalization Anchors: Define the "extreme" boundaries for the Sigmoid function. Widen these anchors (e.g., RSI 80/20) for highly volatile assets to better capture the larger price swings.
Coherence & Confirmation Settings (Engines 1 & 2)
CI Smoothing Window: Controls the Gaussian Kernel for the final Coherence Index. A short window (2-4) offers a fast reaction for scalpers. A longer window (5-10) creates a smoother CI line for swing traders.
Ignition Threshold: The CI level needed to activate a signal check. A lower threshold (0.70) generates more signals. A higher threshold (0.85) produces fewer, but extremely high-conviction signals.
Phase Lock Tolerance & Min Entangled Pairs: These are the core parameters for the Confirmation Engine (Engine 2). Use tighter tolerances (e.g., 25°) and a higher number of pairs (e.g., 5+) to demand an incredibly high standard for signal confirmation.
█ THE DASHBOARD: YOUR QUANTITATIVE READOUT
The dashboard provides a real-time, numerical dissection of the market field, summarizing the outputs of all three engines.
CI (Coherence Index): What it is: The master metric from Engine 1. How to interpret: < 40% (Chaos): The market is disjointed. 40-70% (Coherent): A regime is forming. > 70% (Ignition Zone): High consensus.
Dom Phase (Dominant Phase): What it is: The "average" direction from Engine 1. How to interpret: The arrow gives the immediate directional bias.
Field Strength: What it is: CI × Average Amplitude . How to interpret: Measures alignment with conviction. A high Field Strength is the signature of a powerful, aggressive trend.
Entangled Pairs & Phase Lock: What they are: The direct readouts from the Confirmation Engine (Engine 2). How to interpret: The 🔒 symbol and a high pair count are the final "green lights" before a signal can be generated.
State: What it is: A real-time classification of the market's condition based on the combined output of all engines. How to interpret:
🚀 IGNITION: All three engines are in unanimous, bullish/bearish agreement.
⚡ COHERENT: The trend is healthy and coherence is stable.
💥 COLLAPSE: The regime's integrity is compromised.
🌀 CHAOS: The market is unpredictable.
Collapse Risk: What it is: A 0-100% gauge measuring the rate of recent CI decay. How to interpret: A leading indicator for trend exhaustion. A value rising above 50% is a powerful signal to tighten stops.
█ THE VISUALS: THE ART OF ANALYSIS (ENGINE 3)
The Visualization Suite (Engine 3) translates the complex calculations into an intuitive visual language. Learning to read these displays is like learning to see the market in a new dimension.
The Circular Orbit Plot: The soul of MFC. A polar grid showing each oscillator as a labeled vector.
Angle = Phase, Length = Amplitude. Watch for Convergence: when scattered vectors cluster into a single quadrant, you are witnessing the birth of a new regime in real-time.
The Quantum Field Cloud: An atmospheric overlay on the price chart.
Color = Dominant Phase ( Green for bullish, Red for bearish). Opacity = Coherence Index . A dense, opaque cloud signifies an extremely strong, coherent regime.
The Entanglement Web Matrix & Phase-Time Heat Map: Deep-dive analytical tools. Use the Web to diagnose the quality and breadth of coherence. Use the Heat Map to identify historical patterns and pivotal moments of unified market phase.
█ THE DEVELOPMENT: A QUEST FOR TRUTH
MFC was not created to be just another tool. It was engineered to solve the fundamental ambiguity of technical analysis by creating a system of checks and balances between three specialized engines. I sought to replace subjective interpretation with objective, multi-stage mathematical measurement. The choice of Gaussian kernels, Sigmoid functions, and complex-plane analysis was a deliberate decision to embrace the multi-dimensional reality of market dynamics rather than simplifying it into a single, misleading number.
This is a tool for the discerning trader who understands that the market is not a random walk, but a complex, adaptive system. MFC provides a new set of senses to perceive the behavior of that system.
"The financial markets are generally unpredictable. So that one has to have different scenarios... The idea that you can actually predict what's going to happen contradicts my way of looking at the market."
— George Soros
MFC does not predict. It measures . Its three engines work in concert to provide a high-resolution image of the market's current state , allowing you to align yourself with moments of profound clarity and step aside during times of absolute chaos. Trade the coherence, not the forecast.

RSI Chebyshev Pro with Goldilocks Fractals - NR [NPR21]RSI Chebyshev Pro with Goldilocks Fractals - Non-Repaint
CHART INFORMATION
Instrument: /MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures)
Timeframe: 2-minute
Indicator: RSI Chebyshev Pro with Goldilocks Fractals - NR
THE PROBLEM
Standard RSI is too choppy and noisy – it whipsaws all over the place in volatile markets like futures, giving false oversold/overbought signals that burn you on entries. I was sick of missing real reversals or getting stopped out on fakeouts. I wanted something smoother that still catches the big momentum shifts without lagging too much, plus actual market structure to make it more reliable for quick trades.
WHAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE
Unlike basic RSI indicators that use simple moving average smoothing, this combines several advanced techniques that aren't commonly found together:
1. Chebyshev Type I Filtering - Signal processing mathematics (not basic EMAs) that kills noise while keeping real swings sharp. Most RSI smoothing just blurs everything - this keeps responsiveness without the chop.
2. MAMA Adaptive Period - The moving average adapts to actual market cycles using the MESA algorithm, not fixed periods that lag in changing conditions.
3. RSI Pivot Fractals - These aren't price fractals slapped onto RSI. The fractals detect pivots directly on RSI values at extreme levels, with signals appearing back at the exact pivot bar (not current bar), showing you where the actual reversal happened.
4. True Non-Repainting Implementation - Signals appear delayed BUT locked at the historical pivot location forever. What you see in backtests is exactly what appeared live - no vanishing signals, no shifting.
5. All-in-One Integration - Instead of running 3-4 separate indicators (RSI + fractals + patterns + smoothing), everything works together in a single, optimized calculation with confluence built in.
This isn't just RSI with some Williams Fractals thrown on top - it's a complete rethink of how to identify high-probability RSI reversals using signal processing and adaptive algorithms.
ORIGIN & ENHANCEMENTS
Original Source: ChartPrime RSI Chebyshev indicator
Converted & Enhanced by: NPR21
What I Added:
✅ Converted to Pine Script v6 - Made this available to TradingView traders
✅ Goldilocks Fractals - RSI alone doesn't tell you about price structure. These fractals nail those "just right" pivot points where highs/lows confirm. I kept seeing RSI extremes that reversed hard when they lined up with fractals - this was the missing piece for confluence.
✅ 100% Non-Repainting - I've been burned by repainters. You'd backtest something, looks amazing, then live it vanishes or shifts. Lost real money on that. This is rock-solid: signals show delayed but once they're there, they're locked forever. Makes backtesting trustworthy.
✅ Candlestick Patterns - Engulfing, Morning Star, Evening Star detection for confluence
✅ Customizable Visuals - BUY/SELL labels, multiple display styles, full color/size control
✅ Complete Alert System - Get notified on all signal types
HOW IT WORKS
Chebyshev Filtering:
Like putting noise-canceling on your RSI – smooths out jittery ups and downs from random price spikes without flattening into useless lag. It's signal processing math that keeps important swings sharp while killing BS noise. Way better than simple EMA smoothing that blurs everything.
The Components:
Ultra-Smooth RSI - Chebyshev Type I filtering + adaptive MAMA algorithm
Goldilocks Fractals - Pivot detection confirmed after N bars (default 5)
Pattern Recognition - Detects Engulfing, Morning/Evening Star patterns
Visual Styles - Candle Trend (hollow green/solid red) or traditional candles
SIGNAL DELAY vs REPAINTING
✅ THIS HAS SIGNAL DELAY (GOOD) - NOT REPAINTING (BAD)
Signal Delay:
Signals appear after N bars (default 5 bar delay)
Once visible, NEVER disappears or moves
Perfect for backtesting - 100% reliable
What you see in history is what you'd see live
Why the Delay:
To confirm a pivot, we need to see price didn't go lower/higher in the next N bars. This confirmation makes signals reliable. The delay is the price for trustworthy signals.
Want faster? Drop Fractal Periods to 2-3 (more signals, less confirmation).
HOW I TRADE IT
My /MNQ Scalping (1-3 min charts):
LONG: BUY label appears (down fractal + maybe morning star/engulfing) → Check RSI crossing up from oversold (<30) → Confirm with volume → Long with stop below fractal low → Target 1-2R
SHORT: SELL label (up fractal + maybe evening star) → RSI from overbought → Short with stop above
Filter: Only longs in uptrends (watch the MA). Exit partials if momentum fades.
Best Timeframes: 1-5 min for futures scalping. Works on 15 min for swings but for pure scalping, stay under 5 min in high-vol sessions.
SETTINGS I USE
Standard Setup:
Length: 24, Smoothing: 3
Auto MA: ON, Multiplier: 1-2
Fractal Periods: 5 (good confirmation)
Choppy Days:
Smoothing to 5
Aggressive:
Fractal Periods to 3
Pro Tip: Pair with volume or price EMA. Love when fractal BUY + engulfing bull align. Use Candle Trend style. Test on demo first.
KEY SETTINGS
RSI: Length (24), Smoothing (3), Auto MA, Style (Candle/Candle Trend)
Fractals: Periods (5 = more reliable, 3 = faster/riskier), Label colors/sizes, Offsets
Alerts: All signals fire only on confirmed, non-repainting events
DISCLAIMERS
⚠️ Tool, not a complete system - use proper risk management
⚠️ Signals have delay for reliability - not for instant entries
⚠️ Best with price action, volume, other analysis
⚠️ Test on demo before live trading

Magnitude of Price DiscoveryThis script is a simple attempt to show the magnitude of price discovery
Before we discuss how it works we need to discuss our terms.
Universal Truth of Price #1 - Price only trades in 3 distinct ways
Scenario 1 - Inside bar to previous range, consolidation.
Scenario 2 - Trending bar up or down, HH + HL to previous bar or LL + LH to previous bar
Scenario 3 - Outside bar, Higher highs AND lower lows to previous bar. Also known as a broadening formation.
If you are interested in the 2nd universal truth my indicator 'Timeframe Continuity Bars' discusses it there.
Given one of the 3 scenarios price can trade in is a broadening formation it proves that price discovery occurs as a series of new highs and new lows.
Notice the scenario 3 marked by SimpleStratNumbers
This scenario 3 is a broadening formation on the 1min and on the 30min basis.
Given this is true we know if price rejects the broadening highs it is attempting to make new lows to the broadening range
So, what this indicator does is it uses previous swing highs and swing lows and it shows you when price reclaims them and gives you a target.
The target of this indicator is guaranteed to be hit if the 2nd universal truth of price is in your favor.
This means if we reclaim a previous high to the downside. At the time of all known participation groups selling we know the magnitude of this selling would be the other side of the range
So it's simple, the solid line shows you the reclaimed level.
The dotted line shows you the magnitude.
Full timeframe continuity tells you when it is FOR SURE going to your target price via MTF analysis of the aggressiveness of the buyers/sellers.
However timeframe continuity is subject to change every 60min, every day, every week, and every month! That's the risk you take when trading.
Here's one example for you.
NASDAQ:AAPL monthly made a new low and changed to green this was your evidence price is attempting to take the other side of the range.
NASDAQ:AAPL monthly opened green again and re-confirmed the upside which meant the other side
of the range was still for certain going to be taken out.
After being taken out, breakout traders buy the highs and any shorts in aapl are forced to cover.
BOOM!
This indicator is likely to be updated in the near future to align entries on multiple timeframes.
Nothing spoken here is financial advice and it is ONLY what we know to be true about price action.
Adaptive Trend & SL SystemAdaptive Trend & Risk System
1. The Problem: "Naked" Signals
Most trend indicators on TradingView have a fatal flaw: they tell you when to enter, but they never tell you when to leave . They give you a "Buy" signal, but leave you guessing about where to place your Stop Loss or where to take profit.
A signal without a risk management plan is not a strategy—it's a gamble.
2. The Solution: A Complete Trading System
The Adaptive Trend & Risk System (ATS) is designed to be a complete "Turnkey" trading suite. It doesn't just generate signals; it manages the entire lifecycle of the trade.
It combines three distinct market concepts into one clean overlay:
Trend Detection: Uses a Hull Moving Average (HMA) baseline to determine the immediate market flow.
Signal Filtering: Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to filter out "fakeouts" and weak trends.
Dynamic Risk Management: Automatically calculates Volatility-Based (ATR) Stop Losses and Risk:Reward targets the moment a signal is generated.
3. How It Works (The Math)
The script operates on a strict "State Machine" logic. It remembers the state of your trade bar-by-bar.
The Entry (Strong Signals)
A "STRONG" signal is only generated when two conditions are met:
Price crosses the Trend Baseline.
ADX (Trend Strength) is above the threshold (Default: 25).
Note: Weak signals (small triangles) are shown when price crosses the baseline but ADX is low. These are risky and should be treated with caution.
The Stop Loss (Red/Green Crosses ++++)
Upon a strong entry, the script calculates a Stop Loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Long SL: Low - (ATR * Multiplier)
Short SL: High + (ATR * Multiplier)
The "Hard" Stop: Unlike trailing stops that move every bar, this SL is fixed to the volatility at the moment of entry. It only disappears if price hits it (marked by an Orange X ) or if a reversal signal occurs.
The Targets (Blue/Purple Dots oooo)
The script projects two Take Profit levels based on your risk:
TP1 (Blue Dots): 1.5x your Risk.
TP2 (Purple Dots): 3.0x your Risk.
Smart Visuals: If price hits TP1, the dots disappear to keep your chart clean, letting you focus on TP2.
4. How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Wait for a "STRONG" Label. Do not trade every crossover. Wait for the large triangle with the text label.
Step 2: Place your Entry at the close of the signal bar.
Step 3: Place your Physical Stop Loss exactly at the level of the Green/Red Crosses .
Step 4: Place Limit Orders at the Blue Dots (TP1) and Purple Dots (TP2) .
Management:
If the Orange X appears, your Stop Loss was hit. Exit the trade immediately.
If a Weak Signal (small triangle) appears against your trade, consider tightening your stops, as momentum may be fading.
5. Settings Guide
Trend Baseline Length: Controls the sensitivity of the trend filter. Higher = Fewer signals, longer trends.
ATR Length: Controls how "volatile" the Stop Loss calculation is.
Stop Loss Multiplier: The "breathing room" for your trade. 2.0 is standard. 3.0 is for volatile assets like Crypto.
TP Risk:Reward Ratios: Fully customizable. Default is 1.5R and 3.0R.
