DR/IDR fractals break candle (ChadAnt)This indicator is an Opening Range Breakout (ORB) tool. It identifies the high and low price range established during a specific time window (e.g., the first hour of trading, 9:30–10:30 AM NY time). Once that time window closes, it watches for the price to "break out" of that range and projects profit targets based on the size of the initial range.
Key Features & How They Work
1. The Opening Range (The Box)
Time Window: The indicator waits for your specific start time (default 9:30 AM NY). It does not draw anything before this time.
The "Wicks": It tracks the absolute highest and lowest prices reached during this time (the Wicks). These act as your Breakout Triggers.
The "Body": It tracks the highest and lowest candle closes/opens during this time. This creates a shaded "zone" on your chart, representing the core area where most trading occurred.
Shading: To keep your chart clean, the background shading only appears during the forming time window.
2. Breakout Signals
Once the time window ends (e.g., 10:30 AM), the indicator "locks" the levels.
It then waits for a candle to move above the Wick High or below the Wick Low.
The Signal: When this happens, a label ("BREAK") appears on the chart.
Green Label: Bullish breakout (price went above the range).
Red Label: Bearish breakout (price went below the range).
Note: It only signals the first breakout of the day to avoid false alarms during choppy markets.
3. Extension Targets (Profit Levels)
When a breakout signal occurs, the indicator automatically draws target lines (extensions).
Calculation: These targets are based on the height of the "Body" zone (the shaded area).
Example: If your setting is 1.0, the indicator measures the height of the shaded body range and projects that exact distance above the breakout point. This is often used as a "Measured Move" target.
You can customize how many lines appear and how far apart they are (e.g., 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 times the range size).
4. Williams Fractals
During the opening range time, the indicator looks for specific price patterns called "Williams Fractals" (a 5-candle pattern that highlights potential turning points).
If a fractal peak or valley occurs inside your opening range, it marks it with a small triangle (▲ or ▼). Traders often use these as early signs of support or resistance forming inside the range.
5. Clean Visuals
Line Cutoff: You can set a "Stop Time" (e.g., 16:00 or 4:00 PM). The lines will stop drawing at that time so they don't clutter your chart overnight.
Gap Handling: The lines are programmed to break cleanly between days, so you don't see messy diagonal lines connecting yesterday's close to today's open.
Summary of Settings You Can Change
Session Time: When the range starts and ends.
Line Stop Time: When the lines should disappear for the day.
Visuals: Colors, line width, and style (solid, dotted, dashed).
Extensions: How many target lines to draw and the step size (e.g., 0.5x, 1.0x).
Fractals: Toggle the triangle icons on/off.

Zaka Pro: Clear Structure (HH/LL) + MSS ZonesCertainly! Here is a description of the Pine Script indicator you provided, focusing on its main functions and trading strategy, written in English.
---
## Zaka Pro: Clear Structure (HH/LL) + MSS Zones
This is a technical analysis indicator developed in Pine Script (`//@version=5`) designed to automatically identify and plot key price action structural elements based on the **Zig Zag** method, while incorporating a simplified **Market Structure Shift (MSS)** concept, often used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or Wyckoff trading.
### Key Features:
1. **Pivot-Based Structure Identification:**
* The indicator uses the standard **`ta.pivothigh`** and **`ta.pivotlow`** functions, determined by the user-defined `Pivot Length` (`prd`). This forms the foundation of the price "swing" structure.
2. **Structural Labeling (HH/LL/LH/HL):**
* It automatically labels the resulting swing points to clearly show the prevailing trend:
* **HH (Higher High):** Continuation of an uptrend.
* **LL (Lower Low):** Continuation of a downtrend.
* **LH (Lower High):** A potential reversal or weakening of an uptrend.
* **HL (Higher Low):** A potential reversal or weakening of a downtrend.
3. **Zig Zag Plotting:**
* The indicator connects the identified pivot points with a **gray line** to visually represent the market swings.
4. **Market Structure Shift (MSS) Strategy:**
* The core strategy detects a potential **trend reversal** when the price breaks the most recent structural pivot:
* **Buy MSS Trigger:** Detected when the price breaks **above the last High** (`last_high`) while the market was in a confirmed **downtrend** (forming Lower Lows).
* **Sell MSS Trigger:** Detected when the price breaks **below the last Low** (`last_low`) while the market was in a confirmed **uptrend** (forming Higher Highs).
5. **Order Block / Entry Zone Plotting:**
* Upon detection of a confirmed MSS (reversal), the indicator plots a colored **Box** representing a potential re-entry zone:
* **BUY ZONE (Green Box):** Plotted after a Buy MSS (breakout to the upside). The zone is defined by the **High and Low of the two candles preceding the last swing Low** (`ob_low_top`, `ob_low_btm`). This acts as a simplified "Order Block" for potential long entries.
* **SELL ZONE (Red Box):** Plotted after a Sell MSS (breakout to the downside). The zone is defined by the **High and Low of the two candles preceding the last swing High** (`ob_high_top`, `ob_high_btm`). This acts as a simplified "Order Block" for potential short entries.
6. **Alerts:**
* Custom alerts are included to notify the user immediately when a Buy or Sell MSS (Market Structure Shift) is detected.
In summary, the indicator is a visual tool that simplifies price action analysis by drawing structure and highlights potential reversal points (MSS) by painting corresponding re-entry zones (Order Blocks) on the chart.
VCAI Stochastic RSI+VCAI Stoch RSI+ is a cleaned-up Stochastic RSI built with V-Core colours for faster, clearer momentum reads and more reliable OB/OS signals.
What it shows:
Purple %K line → bearish momentum strengthening
Yellow %D line → bullish momentum building and smoothing
Soft purple/yellow background bands → OB/OS exhaustion zones, not just raw 80/20 triggers
Midline at 50 → balance point where momentum shifts between bull- and bear-side control
Optional HTF mode → run Stoch RSI from any timeframe while viewing it on your current chart
How to read it:
Both lines rising out of OS → early bullish shift; pullbacks that hold direction favour continuation
Both lines falling from OB → early bearish shift; bounces into the purple OB zone can become fade setups
Lines stacked and moving together → strong, cleaner momentum
Lines crossing repeatedly → low-conviction, choppy conditions
OB/OS shading highlights exhaustion so you focus on moves with context, not every 80/20 tick
Why it’s different:
Classic Stoch RSI is hyper-sensitive and mostly noise.
VCAI Stoch RSI+ applies V-Core’s colour-driven regime logic, controlled OB/OS shading, and optional HTF smoothing so you see momentum structure instead of clutter — making it easier to judge when momentum is genuinely shifting and when it’s just another wiggle.

FVH THE ARCHITECT (The Consensus)HE ARCHITECT - Institutional Logic Engine
System Philosophy: THE ARCHITECT is a defensive consensus engine designed to filter market noise and align price structure with institutional momentum. It does not generate signals in isolation; it requires a "Consensus" between Price Action, Volume, and Divergence before confirming a setup.
Core Features:
Institutional Structure: Automatically identifies Order Blocks (Bull/Bear), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Break of Structure (BOS) based on fractal logic.
Smart Consensus Filter:
Smart VWAP: Color-coded trend filter (Green = Up, Red = Down).
Volume Spikes: Identifies institutional injection (Purple Candles) at >1.5x average volume.
Smart Reversals: RSI Divergence labels are only printed if the candle color confirms the rejection.
Focus Mode: A toggle to switch between "History Mode" (Context) and "Focus Mode" (Active Zones Only) to reduce chart clutter.
How to Use:
Buy: Wait for price to enter a Green Bull OB. Look for a "Smart Buy" label or Purple Volume Spike.
Sell: Wait for price to enter a Red Bear OB. Look for a "Smart Sell" label.
Alerts: Includes hard-coded alerts for "Smart Buy", "Smart Sell", and "Volume Spikes" for automated notifications.
Tomb Reversal Signal Engulfing + RSI Momentum DetectorTomb is a fast and minimalistic reversal-detection indicator built to capture high-probability turning points in the market.
It combines engulfing candlestick patterns, a strong candle body filter, and RSI momentum analysis to generate precise BUY and SELL signals with minimal noise.
🔍 How it Works
The indicator triggers:
✅ BUY Signal
Bullish engulfing pattern appears
Candle body strength > 50% of total range (real momentum)
RSI below 50 (bearish momentum weakening)
Price decreasing over the last 5 bars (down-trend exhaustion)
✅ SELL Signal
Bearish engulfing pattern
Candle body shows strength
RSI above 50 (bullish momentum weakening)
Price increasing over the last 5 bars (up-trend exhaustion)
⚡ Why Tomb Works
Filters out weak signals using candle structure
Detects momentum shifts early
Works on all markets: Crypto, Forex, Indices, Stocks
Ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing trading
🎯 Purpose
To highlight the exact moments where the market shows exhaustion and is ready to reverse—before most traders see it.
📌 Recommended Use
For best performance:
Combine with trend tools such as EMA 200 or market structure
Look for signals at support/resistance or liquidity zones
VCAI RSI Divergence +VCAI RSI Divergence+ is an RSI that shows trend, momentum, and divergence using V-CoresAI colour logic instead of a single white line.
What it shows:
Yellow RSI line → bullish momentum (RSI above its MA; buy-side pressure in control)
Purple RSI line → bearish momentum (RSI below its MA; sell-side pressure in control)
Thin blue line → fast RSI moving average that drives the colour flips
Dashed 70/30 lines → classic OB/OS zones
Background bands → soft purple in OB, soft yellow in OS to mark exhaustion areas
How to read it:
Yellow & rising → momentum shifting bullish; pullbacks into yellow OS band can be accumulation zones
Purple & falling → momentum shifting bearish; pushes into purple OB band can be distribution/sell zones
Hard colour flips (yellow ↔ purple) mark trend regime changes, not minor RSI noise
Divergence mode (on/off)
The divergence engine scans RSI and price pivot structure:
Bullish divergence (yellow) → price lower low + RSI higher low
Bearish divergence (purple) → price higher high + RSI lower high
Lines and tags appear only where a meaningful disagreement between price and RSI exists, giving early context for potential reversals or fade setups.
Together, the momentum colours + optional divergence mapping give a far clearer market read than a standard RSI, with zero clutter and no guesswork.
1HR Pivots & Pre-Market Levels1HR Pivots & Pre-Market Levels Indicator
Overview
This indicator is designed for intraday traders who want to identify key price levels that often act as support and resistance throughout the trading day. It combines multiple timeframe analysis into a single, clean overlay on your chart.
Key Features
1-Hour Pivot Levels
The indicator automatically detects significant swing highs and lows from the 1-hour timeframe and displays them as horizontal levels on your chart, regardless of what timeframe you're viewing. These pivots are calculated using closing prices (line chart style) rather than wicks, which provides cleaner, more reliable levels. You can display up to 20 pivot levels and customize how sensitive the detection is.
Pre-Market High & Low
Before the regular session opens, price action in the pre-market often establishes important boundaries for the day. This indicator tracks and displays the pre-market high (green) and low (red) from 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM Eastern Time. These levels are derived from 1 min prices including wicks.
First 15-Minute Range
The opening 15 minutes of the regular session (9:30-9:45 AM ET) frequently sets the tone for the rest of the day. The indicator marks the high (blue) and low (orange) of this critical period, including wicks, giving you clear reference points for potential breakout or reversal trades.
Session VWAP
Volume Weighted Average Price is included as a white line that resets daily. VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume and is widely used by institutional traders. Price trading above VWAP suggests bullish sentiment, while price below suggests bearish sentiment.
Why It's Useful
Multi-timeframe context on any chart - View 1-hour levels while trading on a 1-minute or 5-minute chart
Key session-based levels - Pre-market range and opening range are proven reference points for day traders
Clean visualization - All levels draw from their origin point so you can see exactly where each level was established
Fully customizable - Adjust colors, line thickness, and number of levels to match your preferences

Algorithmic Sequence Mapping for Price Displacement
The XXMonk Sequence Grid is a precision mapping tool designed to project algorithmic price levels using harmonic numerical sequences derived from the ICT-inspired time/price symmetry concept.
This indicator takes a user-defined Origin (EQ level) and generates symmetrical expansion bands above and below price using any combination of the following sequence values:
These levels act as algorithmic rails that price frequently reacts to, respects, or expands toward — providing traders with a structural framework to interpret displacement, liquidity objectives, and sequence-based expansions.
🔷 Core Features
✔ Manual Origin (EQ Level)
Set any midpoint — daily open, session equilibrium, dealing range midpoint, your own anchor, etc.
✔ Manual U Value (Unit Size)
No restrictions. Enter any point value (ex: 0.25, 1, 5, 12.5, 25…) to scale the sequence to your instrument.
✔ Full Sequence Control
Toggle ON/OFF each individual harmonic sequence:
Micro ranges → 1, 3, 5
Intermediate → 8, 13, 21
Macro ranges → 34, 55, 89, 144
✔ Individual Line Colors
Every sequence level has its own color input for full customization.
✔ Static Lines (Do Not Move With Cursor)
Lines anchor from the first bar and extend infinitely to the right.
✔ Automatic Labels on Right Side
These levels often align with:
Liquidity pools
Displacement endpoints
PD array boundaries
Algorithmic expansion levels
Reversal zones
Session highs/lows
Volatility-based fractals
Price frequently travels sequence-to-sequence, creating a predictable harmonic structure.
Triple Moving Average's EMA/SMAThis Pine Script in its final v5 version is a fundamental visual tool that supports traders in quickly identifying the trend and sentiment.
Key Script Goal
This script's primary objective is flexible multi-timeframe analysis of the trend.
The script serves as a universal set of three independent moving averages, which is intended to help you with the visual assessment of the market context:
EMA (20 periods): Serves as dynamic support/resistance for short-term sentiment. It is highly sensitive to recent price action.
SMA1 (50 periods): Typically acts as a medium-term trend indicator. It is often used to identify corrections.
SMA2 (100 periods): Provides a long-term perspective. Its slope and position relative to the price indicate the dominant structural trend.
The script is a base for every trader who relies on technical analysis and Price Action, utilizing moving averages as dynamic S/R levels.
Multi Time Frame Trend BiasSee the lower time frame and higher time frame trend at a glance. Choose 8 lower time frames, and 8 higher time frames. You can also choose your ema / sma relationship but I recommend using 13ema / 30 sma relationship. You can change the size of the table. You can also hide the rows and only view the overall trend if you want. Very useful as a confluence with your strategy / entry model. Trade in the same direction of the trend. Don't fight the trend.

Institutional MF-Vol Compression Scanner v4.0 [BIG]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BIG COMPRESSION SCANNER v4.0
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
The BIG Compression Scanner v4.0 is a proprietary volatility regime detection system designed for systematic Daily options deployment. This framework identifies pre-expansion volatility compression zones through multi-dimensional market structure analysis, combining institutional positioning patterns with hierarchical timeframe confirmation and options market structure to generate high-conviction directional signals for premium strategies.
The methodology synthesizes volatility dynamics, liquidity flow patterns, and cross-timeframe regime alignment into a probabilistic scoring system that isolates asymmetric risk-reward setups characteristic of compression-to-expansion transitions. The framework is calibrated specifically for 30-45 DTE options strategies where timing precision and volatility environment assessment are critical to edge generation.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CORE METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• Proprietary Compression Detection
The system employs a multi-factor compression identification framework that monitors volatility regime transitions across price dispersion metrics and range contraction patterns. Unlike single-indicator squeeze systems, this methodology uses weighted ensemble logic to distinguish true pre-expansion compression from random consolidation noise.
Compression strength is quantified through a proprietary scoring algorithm (0-100%) that evaluates:
- Statistical volatility contraction relative to historical norms
- Price range compression within dynamic envelope systems
- Institutional volume signature analysis during low-volatility periods
- Cross-timeframe compression alignment (Daily/Weekly/Monthly hierarchy)
The framework filters compression events based on minimum strength thresholds and multi-bar confirmation to eliminate premature signals characteristic of retail squeeze indicators.
• Hierarchical Multi-Timeframe Architecture
The indicator integrates a three-tier temporal analysis structure where higher timeframes constrain and validate lower timeframe signals:
Strategic Layer (Monthly) – Establishes macro directional bias and identifies structural market positioning. This layer determines whether intermediate trends align with or counter dominant regime dynamics.
Structural Layer (Weekly) – Provides tactical context through key price levels, momentum assessment, and volatility regime confirmation. Weekly analysis filters signals that would occur in unfavorable proximity to structural inflection zones.
Execution Layer (Daily) – Generates precise entry timing through intraday regime shift detection, momentum confluence analysis, and institutional flow pattern recognition.
Each layer contributes weighted influence to the composite directional probability model, with recalibration logic that adjusts timeframe importance based on current market regime characteristics. The exact weighting algorithm is proprietary and adapts to volatility environment dynamics.
• Options Market Structure Integration
Version 4.0 incorporates options-specific market intelligence not available in standard technical analysis frameworks:
Volatility Environment Assessment – The system continuously monitors implied volatility regime characteristics through proprietary estimation models. These models identify whether current premium levels favor buying or selling strategies, adjusting signal generation accordingly.
Temporal Decay Awareness – Built-in expiration cycle logic ensures signals only trigger when sufficient time value remains for thesis development. The framework approximates days-to-expiration and applies minimum threshold filters to prevent entries in high theta decay regimes.
Greeks-Aware Targeting – Price targets are dynamically calibrated based on volatility expansion expectations and estimated leverage characteristics. Target multipliers adjust to current options market structure rather than using fixed risk-reward ratios.
Premium Environment Classification – Signals are enhanced with real-time assessment of whether current volatility levels favor long premium, short premium, or spread strategies based on historical percentile analysis.
• Probabilistic Directional Scoring System
Rather than binary bullish/bearish classification, the framework generates probability-weighted directional bias through a proprietary multi-factor model. This model synthesizes trend alignment metrics, momentum characteristics, structural positioning, and institutional flow signatures into normalized probability distributions.
The scoring system evaluates dozens of market structure variables across multiple timeframes, applies regime-dependent weighting, and produces directional probabilities that reflect actual edge rather than arbitrary technical indicator thresholds. Signal generation occurs only when directional probability exceeds user-defined conviction thresholds (55-65% depending on sensitivity setting).
This probabilistic approach allows traders to calibrate position sizing and strategy selection (outright vs. spreads) to the strength of directional conviction rather than treating all signals as equal weight.
• Institutional Flow Detection
The framework monitors volume and price interaction patterns characteristic of institutional accumulation or distribution during compression phases. This analysis identifies whether compression zones contain building directional positions (high probability of sustained move post-breakout) versus thin, choppy consolidation (high false breakout risk).
Flow detection employs proprietary algorithms that distinguish genuine institutional activity from retail volume spikes, providing critical context for signal validation.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SIGNAL ARCHITECTURE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Call Option Signals trigger when compression strength, directional probability, timeframe alignment, options market structure, and institutional flow patterns simultaneously satisfy proprietary threshold criteria. Signals are filtered against weekly structural levels to avoid low-probability entries near major resistance zones.
Put Option Signals follow equivalent logic with inverse directional parameters, ensuring symmetrical framework application across bull and bear setups.
All signals include:
- Directional conviction probability (percentage)
- Current volatility environment assessment (IV Rank proxy)
- Dynamic price target based on expansion expectations
- Multi-timeframe alignment status
Signal cooldown logic prevents excessive signal generation during extended consolidation periods, maintaining signal quality over quantity.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VISUAL INTELLIGENCE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Real-Time Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
The top-right panel provides continuous visibility into:
- Trend alignment across Daily/Weekly/Monthly timeframes
- Current compression status at each temporal layer
- Momentum regime characteristics (RSI values)

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. Timeframe Selection
Apply to Daily (D1) charts only. Framework calibration is timeframe-specific; other intervals produce suboptimal results.
2. Options Mode Activation
Enable Options Trading Mode for premium strategy optimization. This activates IV filtering, DTE thresholds, and Greeks-aware targeting.
3. Strategy Calibration
- Premium Buying: Set IV threshold to 50th percentile, DTE minimum 30+ days, target multiplier 2.5-3.0×
- Premium Selling: Set IV threshold to 70th+ percentile, DTE minimum 20-30 days, target multiplier 1.5-2.0×
4. MTF Dashboard Monitoring
Verify multi-timeframe alignment before execution:
- Ideal setup: Daily + Weekly compression both active
- Confirm trend alignment across timeframes
- Check IV Rank for premium environment assessment
- Wait for "READY" status (green) indicating threshold satisfaction
5. Signal Execution
When labels appear:
- Review directional probability (target >65% for high conviction)
- Assess IV environment (low IV favors buying, high IV favors selling)
- Use price target for strike selection and profit objectives
- Consider 30-45 DTE options for thesis development time
6. Risk Management
- Position size: 2-5% options capital per signal
- Stop loss: Exit if compression breaks opposite direction without follow-through
- Time stop: Reassess if position stagnant after 5-7 days
- Profit taking: Scale out at provided targets or weekly pivot levels
7. Sensitivity Adjustment
- High (55%): More signals, lower conviction, diversified approach
- Medium (60%): Balanced, default setting (2-4 signals/month typical)
- Low (65%): Fewer signals, higher conviction, concentrated positions
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FRAMEWORK LIMITATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Optimized exclusively for Daily timeframe analysis
- Compression development requires patience (2-4 weeks typical)
- IV metrics are proprietary proxies, not direct exchange data
- Greeks estimations approximate actual options contract characteristics
- DTE calculations simplified vs. precise monthly expiration dates
- Multi-timeframe filtering reduces but cannot eliminate false breakouts
- Requires liquid options markets (tight spreads, adequate open interest)
- Not designed for earnings-driven volatility events (IV crush risk)
- Framework identifies timing, not specific strike or expiration selection
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Pine Script v5 architecture
- Non-repainting signal confirmation (bar close validation)
- Multi-security data integration (Weekly/Monthly via request.security)
- Real-time multi-timeframe analysis dashboard
- 4 alert conditions (Call/Put options, directional generic)
- Fully customizable parameters (compression, scoring, filters, visuals)
- Professional-grade visual hierarchy and information density
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PROFESSIONAL CONTEXT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This framework is designed for systematic options traders with working knowledge of:
- Volatility regime dynamics and expansion/contraction cycles
- Options Greeks and their impact on P&L across various market conditions
- Implied Volatility Rank interpretation and premium pricing assessment
- Multi-timeframe analysis methodology and trend hierarchy
- Risk-adjusted position sizing and portfolio construction principles
The system identifies when market structure favors options deployment but does not prescribe how to construct positions. Strike selection, expiration choice, spread architecture, and position sizing require independent trader judgment based on account parameters and risk tolerance.
Optimal deployment combines this framework with:
- Options analytics platform (actual IV, Greeks, probability calculations)
- Earnings calendar awareness (pre-earnings IV inflation vs. post-earnings crush)
- Broader market regime context (VIX, correlation, sector rotation)
- Portfolio-level risk management (concentration limits, correlation analysis)

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CORE METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• NHNL Data Aggregation
The system retrieves daily New Highs and New Lows from three major U.S. exchanges:
- NYSE – INDEX:HIGN (New Highs), INDEX:LOWN (New Lows)
- NASDAQ – INDEX:HIGQ (New Highs), INDEX:LOWQ (New Lows)
- AMEX – INDEX:HIGA (New Highs), INDEX:LOWA (New Lows)
Users can toggle exchanges on/off to isolate specific market segments. All three exchanges are enabled by default for comprehensive market-wide breadth measurement.
Core Calculations :
- NHNL Raw = Total New Highs - Total New Lows
- NHNL % = (NHNL Raw / Total Issues) × 100
- NH/NL Ratio = New Highs / New Lows
These metrics quantify the internal strength or weakness of market advances/declines independent of price index levels.
• McClellan Oscillator
The McClellan Oscillator applies exponential moving average (EMA) logic to NHNL data:
Formula: McClellan Osc = EMA(NHNL, Fast) - EMA(NHNL, Slow)
Default parameters: Fast = 19, Slow = 39
Interpretation :
- Positive values = Breadth momentum favors bulls (more issues making new highs)
- Negative values = Breadth momentum favors bears (more issues making new lows)
- Zero-line crosses = Regime change signals (bullish above, bearish below)
- Extreme readings (>±100) = Overbought/oversold breadth conditions
The McClellan Oscillator is a standard institutional breadth tool used by market technicians since the 1960s. It smooths daily NHNL volatility while maintaining responsiveness to trend changes.
• Thrust Detection
Thrust conditions identify extreme breadth expansion or contraction that historically precedes sustained directional moves:
Bullish Thrust :
- NHNL % > Threshold (default +40%)
- Sustained for Confirmation Bars (default 2 bars)
- Context : Extreme positive breadth expansion. Historically associated with major rally initiations or continuation thrusts.
Bearish Thrust :
- NHNL % < -Threshold (default -40%)
- Sustained for Confirmation Bars (default 2 bars)
- Context : Extreme negative breadth contraction. Historically associated with panic selling, capitulation events, or major downtrend acceleration.
Thrust conditions are the highest-priority signals in the framework and override other conflicting indicators.
• Divergence Detection
The system identifies non-confirmation patterns between price action and breadth:
Bullish Divergence :
- Price makes lower low
- NHNL % makes higher low
- Context : Selling pressure exhausting despite lower prices. Potential reversal signal as fewer stocks participate in decline.
Bearish Divergence :
- Price makes higher high
- NHNL % makes lower high
- Context : Rally losing internal momentum despite higher prices. Potential reversal signal as fewer stocks participate in advance.
Divergences use pivot detection with configurable lookback periods (default 50 bars) and pivot strength (default 5 bars). Visual divergence lines are drawn directly on the price chart when detected.
• Participation Breadth Module (NEW in v2.0)
This module monitors the percentage of stocks trading above their 50-day moving average across three major indices:
- S&P 500 – INDEX:S5FI (Large-cap participation)
- Russell 2000 – INDEX:R2FI (Small-cap participation)
- NASDAQ 100 – INDEX:NDFI (Tech-cap participation)
Rotation Spread Calculation :
Rotation Spread = Russell 2000 % Above 50D - S&P 500 % Above 50D
Interpretation :
- Positive Spread (>+10%) = Risk-On Rotation
Small caps outperforming large caps. Broad market participation. Risk appetite expanding.
- Negative Spread (<-10%) = Risk-Off Rotation
Large caps outperforming small caps. Narrow rally / defensive positioning. Flight to quality or concentration risk.
- Neutral (-10% to +10%) = Balanced market, no clear rotation
This spread identifies critical regime changes between broad market participation (healthy) and narrow leadership (fragile). Risk-On rotations typically occur during economic expansion phases; Risk-Off rotations occur during uncertainty, recession fears, or late-cycle conditions.
• Composite Signal Score
The framework generates a quantitative breadth score (-100 to +100) by weighting five components:
1. Thrust Score (±40 points) – Active thrust condition
2. Trend Score (±30 points) – McClellan Oscillator above/below zero
3. Momentum Score (±20 points) – NHNL % magnitude
4. Ratio Score (±10 points) – NH/NL Ratio extremes
5. Participation Score (±15 points) – Risk-On/Risk-Off regime + participation health
The composite score is smoothed (EMA 5) and classified into five breadth states:
- +50 to +100 = Strong Bull
- +20 to +50 = Bullish
- -20 to +20 = Neutral
- -50 to -20 = Bearish
- -100 to -50 = Strong Bear
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SIGNAL HIERARCHY & PRIORITY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. Apply to any chart – The indicator pulls multi-security data; chart symbol does not matter (commonly applied to SPY, SPX, or QQQ for reference)
2. Monitor the dashboard :
• Focus on Market Status (bottom row) for current regime
• Check NHNL % and McClellan for breadth direction and momentum
• Watch Rotation Spread for large-cap vs. small-cap dynamics
• Review Signal Score for composite breadth strength
3. Interpret thrust signals (highest priority):
• Bullish Thrust → Major rally initiation or continuation likely. Consider adding long exposure or reducing hedges.
• Bearish Thrust → Major decline or capitulation event likely. Consider reducing exposure or adding hedges.
• Historical context: Thrust signals are rare (2-5 per year) but highly reliable for significant market moves.
4. Interpret rotation signals (regime identification):
• Risk-On Rotation → Broad market participation. Small caps outperforming. Healthy advance. Favor cyclical sectors, higher beta names.
• Risk-Off Rotation → Narrow rally or defensive positioning. Large caps outperforming. Caution—market leadership concentrating. Favor quality, defensives.
5. Interpret divergence signals (reversal warnings):
• Bullish Divergence → Selling exhaustion. Potential bottom formation. Wait for confirmation (zero-line cross, thrust) before aggressive positioning.
• Bearish Divergence → Rally losing momentum. Potential top formation. Consider profit-taking or hedging.
6. Combine signals for maximum conviction :
• Bull Confluence : Bullish Thrust + Risk-On Rotation + Positive McClellan = Maximum bullish alignment
• Bear Confluence : Bearish Thrust + Risk-Off Rotation + Negative McClellan = Maximum bearish alignment
• Alert system specifically flags these high-conviction confluences
7. Configure parameters for your style :
• Thrust Threshold : Default 40% catches major moves. Increase to 50%+ for extreme-only signals.
• Rotation Threshold : Default 10% spread. Tighten to 7.5% for earlier rotation detection.
• Divergence Lookback : Default 50 bars. Extend to 100+ for longer-term divergences.
8. Use alerts for proactive monitoring :
• Set TradingView alerts for Thrust, Rotation, Divergence, and Confluence conditions
• Receive notifications when critical breadth regime changes occur
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
LIMITATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- U.S. equity markets only – NHNL data limited to NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX. Does not cover international markets or other asset classes.
- Daily timeframe only – NHNL data is reported daily. Intraday trading requires alternative breadth measures.
- Lagging in fast reversals – McClellan Oscillator and participation metrics use EMAs, introducing lag during rapid regime shifts. Thrust signals respond faster but require extreme conditions.
- Equal-weighting assumption – All stocks within NHNL counts are equally weighted. Large-cap-dominated rallies (e.g., FANG-led advances) may show strong price performance despite mediocre breadth.
- False positives in sideways markets – Divergence signals can produce false positives during extended consolidation phases. Require confirmation from thrust or rotation signals.
- Participation data quality – S5FI, R2FI, NDFI data from TradingView may have occasional gaps or delays. Indicator includes data validation logic and falls back gracefully when data unavailable.

Majors FX-REER/NEER Suite [BIG]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BIG MAJORS FX-REER/NEER SUITE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
The BIG Majors FX-REER/NEER Suite is a multi-currency valuation framework designed for institutional FX traders, macro strategists, and systematic currency allocators. This indicator calculates Real Effective Exchange Rates (REER) and Nominal Effective Exchange Rates (NEER) for the seven major currency pairs (G7 FX), integrating macroeconomic fundamentals (CPI inflation differentials) with technical trend analysis to identify structural currency misvaluations and mean-reversion opportunities.
Unlike standard FX indicators that only analyze bilateral price action, this suite constructs trade-weighted basket indices that measure each currency's strength against a portfolio of its major trading partners, adjusted for inflation differentials. This approach mirrors central bank and sovereign wealth fund methodologies for assessing equilibrium exchange rate levels.
The framework combines:
- Fundamental valuation metrics – REER/NEER indices with Z-score normalization
- Technical trend filters – Ichimoku Cloud and Aroon oscillator confluence
- Signal classification system – Long/Short/Watch/Conflict regime identification
- Quantitative confidence scoring – 0-100% signal reliability weighting
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CORE METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• NEER Calculation (Nominal Effective Exchange Rate)
The NEER measures a currency's value against a trade-weighted basket of its seven major trading partners, geometrically averaged in log-space to ensure symmetry:
1. All seven G7 FX pairs are normalized to USD-pivot (A/USD format)
2. Each currency's log-normalized rate is compared to the arithmetic mean of the other six
3. Formula: NEER_i = (8/7) × log(CCY_i/USD) - mean(log(CCY_others/USD))
This construction ensures that:
- A rising NEER indicates currency appreciation against the basket
- The methodology is symmetric and avoids base-currency bias
- Changes reflect multilateral competitive dynamics, not just bilateral moves
• REER Calculation (Real Effective Exchange Rate)
The REER adjusts the NEER for inflation differentials using Consumer Price Index (CPI) data:
Formula: REER_i = NEER_i + log(CPI_i) - mean(log(CPI_others))
By incorporating CPI differentials, the REER provides a purchasing-power-parity-adjusted valuation metric that accounts for relative inflation rates. This is the institutional standard for assessing fundamental currency equilibrium levels.
Data Sources :
- FX rates: TradingView composite feed (FX:), OANDA, FXCM, FOREXCOM
- CPI data: ECONOMICS namespace (monthly frequency, official statistical releases)
- Supported currencies: USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, AUD, CAD, NZD
• Valuation Bias Detection
Each currency pair is classified as overvalued (bias = -1, "Short") or undervalued (bias = +1, "Long") based on two independent criteria:
1. Percentage Band Deviation – Relative Index distance from 100 baseline
• Overvalued: Index > 100 × (1 + deviation%), default +5%
• Undervalued: Index < 100 × (1 - deviation%), default -5%
2. Z-Score Threshold – Statistical extremes in rolling lookback window
• Overvalued: Z-Score > +1.5 (default)
• Undervalued: Z-Score < -1.5 (default)
Either condition triggers a bias classification. This dual-filter approach captures both absolute deviations and relative extremes within recent historical context.
• Trend Confirmation (Ichimoku + Aroon)
To avoid counter-trend entries in strong momentum regimes, the suite integrates two independent trend filters:
Ichimoku Cloud
- Bull: Price > Cloud AND Conversion > Base Line
- Bear: Price < Cloud AND Conversion < Base Line
- Parameters: Conv(9), Base(26), Span B(52), Displacement(26)
Aroon Oscillator
- Bull: Aroon Up > 70 AND Aroon Down < 30
- Bear: Aroon Down > 70 AND Aroon Up < 30
- Default lookback: 25 periods
Trend is confirmed only when both indicators agree (Ichimoku + Aroon ≥ +1 for bull, ≤ -1 for bear).
• Setup Classification Logic
The framework combines Bias (fundamental valuation) with Trend (technical momentum) to generate four distinct setup types:
- Long↗︎ (Setup = 1) – Undervalued + Bullish Trend
Context : Mean reversion opportunity with momentum confirmation. Currency trading at fundamental discount while technical trend supports upside.
- Short↘︎ (Setup = -1) – Overvalued + Bearish Trend
Context : Mean reversion opportunity with momentum confirmation. Currency trading at fundamental premium while technical trend supports downside.
- Watch (Setup = 2) – Valuation bias present, but no clear trend
Context : Fundamental mispricing without directional conviction. Monitor for trend emergence before entering.
- Conflict (Setup = 3) – Bias and trend pointing opposite directions
Context : Overvalued currency in uptrend OR undervalued currency in downtrend. Avoid—either trend continuation or valuation mean reversion, but unclear which dominates.
• Confidence Score (0-100%)
Each setup receives a quantitative confidence weighting based on three factors:
1. Band Distance (40%) – How far the Relative Index deviates from 100 baseline
2. Z-Score Magnitude (40%) – Statistical extremeness within lookback window
3. Trend Confluence (20%) – Agreement between Ichimoku and Aroon signals
Score interpretation:
- 70-100% = High confidence (both valuation and trend extremes aligned)
- 40-69% = Moderate confidence (one factor strong, others weak)
- 0-39% = Low confidence (marginal signals, questionable reliability)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. Apply to any chart – The indicator pulls multi-security data; chart symbol does not matter (commonly applied to SPY or DXY for reference)
2. Select data feed – Default FX: (TradingView composite) is recommended; alternatives: OANDA, FXCM, FOREXCOM

• Deviation Band : Default ±5%; tighten to ±3% for more signals, widen to ±7% for higher conviction
• Z-Threshold : Default ±1.5; increase to ±2.0 for extreme-only signals
5. Monitor dashboard table :
• Focus on pairs showing Long↗︎ or Short↘︎ setups with Conf ≥ 70%
• Watch for Watch setups transitioning to directional signals
• Avoid Conflict setups unless you have strong macro conviction
6. Execute mean-reversion trades :
• Long↗︎ = Buy undervalued currency (e.g., EURUSD Long if EUR undervalued)
• Short↘︎ = Sell overvalued currency (e.g., USDJPY Short if JPY overvalued)
• Target: Mean reversion toward 100 baseline or opposite band
7. Position sizing by confidence :
• High confidence (70-100%) → Standard position size
• Moderate confidence (40-69%) → Reduce size by 50%
• Low confidence (<40%) → Avoid or use minimal pilot size
8. Risk management :
• Stop loss: Place beyond recent swing high/low or 1.5× ATR
• Take profit: Opposite valuation band or 100 baseline
• Time stop: Exit if setup reverses (Long→Neutral→Short or vice versa)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
LIMITATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- CPI data lag – Consumer Price Index releases are monthly and report with 2-4 week delay. REER calculations may lag real-time inflation dynamics.
- Structural shifts ignored – The baseline (100) is set at first valid bar. Long-term structural appreciation/depreciation (e.g., 20-year USD bull market) is not accounted for. Suitable for cyclical mean reversion, not secular trend analysis.
- Equal-weighting assumption – All seven currencies are equally weighted in basket construction. Actual trade-weighted indices use GDP or trade volume weights, which this framework simplifies.
- No emerging market currencies – Limited to G7 majors (USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, AUD, CAD, NZD). Does not cover EM FX (e.g., CNY, BRL, MXN).
- Technical filter limitations – Ichimoku and Aroon are lagging indicators. In fast-moving markets (e.g., central bank interventions, geopolitical shocks), trend signals may arrive late.
- Mean reversion assumption – The framework assumes currencies revert to equilibrium. During regime changes (e.g., monetary policy divergence, crisis flows), deviations can persist or expand before eventual reversal.

BIG Options Strategy Regime Scanner═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BIG OPTIONS STRATEGY REGIME SCANNER
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
The BIG Options Strategy Regime Scanner is a quantitative regime detection framework designed to identify optimal entry conditions for directional and convexity-based options strategies. This indicator analyzes market structure (trend), volatility environment (VIX), and momentum (RSI) to classify markets into distinct trading regimes and signal appropriate options deployment strategies.
The indicator was developed specifically for systematic options traders who require objective, rule-based regime identification rather than discretionary interpretation. It integrates institutional volatility metrics with technical momentum filters to produce high-probability entry signals for three core strategies: Call Tail Convexity , Put Tail Convexity , and Bull Put Income .
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CORE METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• Regime Detection Logic
The indicator operates on a three-factor regime classification system:
1. Trend Filter – Identifies directional bias using SMA 200 as the primary trend delimiter. Position relative to this level determines bull/bear regime classification.
2. Volatility Environment – Uses VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) thresholds to categorize market conditions:
• Low Vol: VIX < 17 (favors premium buying / convexity strategies)
• Mid Vol: VIX 17-22 (transition zone, tactical income strategies)
• High Vol: VIX ≥ 22 (risk-off, defensive positioning)
3. Momentum Confirmation – RSI(14) provides tactical entry timing to avoid premature signals and improve entry quality.
• Strategy Deployment Rules
Call Tail Entry (Bull Convexity)
Triggers when:
- Close > SMA 200 (bull trend confirmed)
- VIX < 17 (low volatility, cheap premium)
- RSI < 45 (tactical pullback for entry)
Context : This regime identifies periods where upside convexity is underpriced. Appropriate for OTM call buying or call spreads designed to capture trend acceleration during low-vol environments.
Put Tail Entry (Bear Convexity)
Triggers when:
- Close < SMA 200 (bear trend confirmed)
- VIX < 17 (low volatility, cheap premium)
- RSI > 65 (tactical bounce for entry)
Context : Signals opportunities to buy downside protection or OTM puts during complacent market conditions. Designed for convexity-seeking traders anticipating volatility expansion in bearish structures.
Bull Put Income
Triggers when:
- Close > SMA 200 (bull trend confirmed)
- VIX 17-20 (mid-range volatility, elevated premium)
- Close > SMA 50 (short-term strength)
Context : Identifies favorable conditions for selling OTM put spreads or cash-secured puts. Targets premium collection in constructive markets with sufficient volatility to generate income but not excessive tail risk.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VISUAL COMPONENTS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Multi-timeframe flexibility – Works on Daily, 4H, 1H timeframes for different deployment horizons
- No repainting – All signals confirm on bar close
- Institutional volatility integration – Uses VIX directly from CBOE data feed
- Clean visual hierarchy – Minimal clutter, maximum signal clarity
- Regime-aware strategy allocation – Matches strategy type to market environment
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. Apply to target underlying – Works on indices (SPX, NDX, RUT), equity ETFs (SPY, QQQ, IWM), or individual equities with liquid options markets.
2. Monitor regime table – Top-right table shows which strategies are currently valid based on real-time conditions.
3. Execute on signal confirmation – When triangle appears + table shows ✅, deploy corresponding options strategy.
4. Timeframe considerations :
• Daily = Swing options (30-60 DTE typical)
• 4H = Shorter-duration tactical (14-30 DTE)
• 1H = Ultra-short-term (0-7 DTE, requires precision execution)
5. Combine with position sizing rules – This indicator identifies when to deploy strategies, not how much . Use appropriate risk management and position sizing frameworks.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
LIMITATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- VIX dependency – Signals are calibrated for US equity volatility regimes. May require recalibration for other asset classes.
- No options-specific calculations – This indicator identifies favorable regimes but does not calculate Greeks, IV percentile, or specific strike selection. Traders must perform their own options analysis.
- Trend-following bias – The 200-day SMA filter creates a structural bias toward trend-following systems. May underperform in mean-reverting, range-bound markets.
- Signal frequency – Depending on market conditions, signals may be infrequent. This is by design to maintain signal quality over quantity.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
