Trend Analysis

Price Velocity TachometerA visual gauge that breaks price action into a tachometer-style display, showing how fast price is moving up or down in real time. It measures price velocity in ticks per second and converts that momentum into an easy-to-read, center-zero meter—green when price accelerates upward, red when it accelerates downward. Ideal for spotting microbursts of momentum, shifts in pressure, and real-time strength behind each move. Disclaimer: This indicator is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

Smart Gap Projection MTF Smart Gap Projection MTF ## Brief Description Professional indicator for projecting US Dollar Index (DXY) gaps onto the traded instrument with multi-timeframe analysis support and advanced visualization. --- ## Originality and Uniqueness **Smart Gap Projection MTF** is a unique development that solves the specific task of correlation analysis between the Dollar Index (DXY) and currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, or other dollar-dependent assets. ### What makes this indicator original: 1. **Inter-market gap projection** - the indicator doesn't just display gaps on the current instrument, but projects gaps from the DXY index onto your asset's chart, creating unique trading levels 2. **Dual confirmation system** - uses a mechanism of waiting N candles after a gap appears on DXY to filter false signals 3. **Intelligent lifecycle tracking** - each projected level is tracked until price touch or gap closure on DXY, with automatic visualization changes 4. **Multi-Timeframe extension** - ability to simultaneously display gaps from a lower timeframe of the current instrument to identify intraday opportunities 5. **Adaptive visualization (Heatmap)** - line intensity and width automatically change depending on gap size, helping to visually identify the most significant levels --- ## How the Indicator Works ### Core Operating Principle The indicator analyzes the US Dollar Index (DXY) price movement in real-time and identifies gaps (price breaks) between candle closes and opens. When a gap forms on DXY, the indicator: 1. **Determines gap type** - bullish (price opened above previous close) or bearish (price opened below) 2. **Checks gap size** - filters insignificant gaps by absolute size (in points) and percentage value 3. **Waits for confirmation** - after detecting a gap, the indicator waits for a specified number of candles (default 3) to confirm that the gap didn't close immediately 4. **Projects the level** - after confirmation, a horizontal line is drawn on the current instrument's chart at the High level (for bullish DXY gap) or Low level (for bearish DXY gap) of the candle where the gap formed 5. **Tracks status** - the indicator continuously monitors: - Price touching the projected level (line becomes more transparent) - Gap closure on DXY itself (line changes color to orange) ### Conceptual Foundation The methodology is based on the observation that: - Gaps on the Dollar Index often lead to synchronous movements on correlated assets - Price levels at the moment of DXY gap formation become price magnets - Gap closure on DXY often coincides with trend reversal on dependent instruments --- ## How to Use the Indicator ### Basic Setup 1. **Add the indicator to the chart** of any asset correlated with the dollar (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, Bitcoin, Gold, etc.) 2. **Configure main parameters:** - `DXY Symbol` - leave as "TVC:DXY" (standard Dollar Index ticker) - `Minimum gap size` - minimum gap size in points (0.0001-0.001 for DXY) - `Confirmation candles` - number of confirmation candles (recommended 3-5) 3. **Set up visualization:** - Choose colors for bullish and bearish gaps - Set desired transparency for each gap type - Enable/disable `Use heatmap` for adaptive visualization ### Timeframe Recommendations - **Scalping (M1-M5):** use MTF gaps from M1 timeframe, confirmationCandles = 2-3 - **Intraday (M15-H1):** standard settings, can add MTF M5-M15 - **Swing trading (H4-D1):** increase confirmationCandles to 5-10, MTF H1-H4 ### Use with Other Instruments The indicator is universal and works on: - **Forex:** EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD and other dollar pairs - **Cryptocurrencies:** BTC/USD, ETH/USD (direct dollar dependency) - **Commodities:** Gold (XAU/USD), Silver (XAG/USD), Oil - **Indices:** SPX, NDX, especially during dollar movements --- ## Configuration Parameters ### Main Settings - **DXY Symbol** - Dollar Index symbol (default TVC:DXY) - **Minimum gap size** - minimum gap size in points for filtering - **Minimum gap size (%)** - minimum percentage size (0 = disabled) - **Confirmation candles** - number of candles for confirmation (1-10) - **Maximum gaps on chart** - maximum number of displayed projections ### Multi-Timeframe - **Enable MTF gaps** - enable/disable MTF gaps - **Timeframe for gaps** - select lower timeframe for search - **Max MTF gaps** - maximum number of MTF lines (5-2000) - **Min MTF gap size** - minimum MTF gap size - **MTF lines color** - MTF lines color - **MTF lines style** - line style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) - **MTF lines width** - MTF lines width (1-3) ### Visualization - **Extend lines right** - extend lines to the right - **Use heatmap** - use adaptive visualization (width/brightness from gap size) - **Stop lines when DXY gap closes** - stop lines when gap closes on DXY ### Colors - **Bullish gap color** - color of bullish DXY gap lines - **Bullish Transparency** - transparency of bullish lines (0-90) - **Bearish gap color** - color of bearish DXY gap lines - **Bearish Transparency** - transparency of bearish lines (0-90) - **Line style** - style of all projection lines ### Alerts - **Alert on new gap** - notification when new gap is confirmed --- ## Features and Advantages ✅ **Inter-market analysis** - uses correlation between DXY and traded asset ✅ **Automatic filtering** - excludes insignificant and quickly closing gaps ✅ **Multi-timeframe analysis** - combines signals from different time periods ✅ **Visual hierarchy** - heatmap automatically highlights most significant levels ✅ **Lifecycle tracking** - each level is monitored until touch or gap closure ✅ **Universality** - works on any dollar-correlated assets ✅ **Non-repainting** - all levels are fixed historically and don't change ✅ **Customizable visualization** - full control over colors, styles and transparency --- ## Limitations and Important Notes ⚠️ **Indicator is not a trading system** - it's a technical analysis tool requiring confirmation by other methods ⚠️ **Works only on assets correlated with DXY** - on instruments without dollar correlation, signals will be ineffective ⚠️ **Requires understanding of inter-market relationships** - recommended to study correlations between DXY and your instrument ⚠️ **DXY data quality** - ensure your data provider supplies correct TVC:DXY history ⚠️ **MTF data** - when using very low MTF timeframes, delays in updates are possible --- ## Who This Indicator Is For 👨‍💼 **Forex traders** - analyzing macroeconomic dollar movements 📈 **Crypto traders** - considering dollar influence on Bitcoin and altcoins 🥇 **Commodity market traders** - trading gold, silver, oil 📊 **Intraday scalpers** - using MTF for precise entries 📉 **Swing traders** - looking for medium-term entry points at key levels --- ## Disclaimer This indicator is intended solely for educational and informational purposes. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to act. All trading decisions you make at your own risk. Past results do not guarantee future performance. Always use proper risk management.

Session Profile [Elykia]Session Profile — The Market Architect Session Profile is a "Standalone" market structure indicator designed to provide a crystal-clear view of the current day's volume distribution without cluttering your chart. Unlike classic profiles, it integrates Order Flow logic (Bid vs Ask) and a visual Heatmap system to instantly identify buyer or seller aggressiveness at every price level. 🔄 Synergy & Ecosystem: The Order Flow "Trinity" This indicator is not isolated. It is the missing piece connecting global structure to precise execution. Here is how to use it in complementarity with Heatmap.v4 and Footprint.Pro: 1. Session Profile (The Map): Role: It gives you Context. It tells you "WHERE" to intervene. Usage: Identify high volume zones (HVN) acting as magnets or supports, and volume voids (LVN) acting as rejection zones. It is your daily GPS. 2. Heatmap.v4 (The Depth): Role: It shows you Passive Intent. Usage: Once price hits a key level on the Session Profile, the Heatmap allows you to see if limit orders (liquidity walls) are present to defend that level. 3. Footprint.Pro (The Execution): Role: It shows you Real-Time Aggression. Usage: This is the trigger. Price is on a Profile level, the Heatmap shows a wall... The Footprint will confirm if buyers/sellers are absorbing that wall or getting rejected (Rotations, Deltas, Imbalances). 🧠 Trading Strategies With Session Profile , you can apply institutional strategies: Mean Reversion: If price strays too far from the POC (Point of Control - the yellow dots) or a colored high volume zone and shows signs of exhaustion, aim for a return to these equilibrium zones. HVN Defense (High Volume Nodes): The longest bars of the profile represent prices accepted by the market. Look for bounces upon retesting these zones. LVN Breakouts (Low Volume Nodes): Zones where the profile is very thin (low volume) are rapid transit zones. Price does not linger there: it cuts through or rejects violently. ⚡ The Power of Seconds Timeframes (TF) This indicator uses a statistical approximation method based on candle closes to build the profile (making it ultra-lightweight and fast). Why use it on a seconds chart? Surgical Precision: On a 1-minute chart, the indicator harvests 1 price data point per minute. On a 1-second chart, it harvests 60 data points per minute. Resolution: By dropping to lower TFs (1s, 5s, 10s), you drastically increase the definition of your profile. Volume "blocks" become much more precise and faithful to tick-by-tick reality. ⚠️ Note: Using seconds charts (e.g., 1s, 5s, 15s) requires a TradingView Premium subscription. 🛠️ Key Features Dynamic Delta Heatmap: Bars color-code based on buying or selling intensity (adjustable via Threshold Ratio). Top Volumes (Multiple POCs): Automatic highlighting of the top X volume levels of the day (Dots and colored text). Smart Positioning: Anchored to the right of the screen with offset management to avoid obstructing current price action. Smart Text: Displays Total Volume or Bid x Ask, neatly aligned inside the histogram. Noise Filter: Option to hide insignificant volumes to keep only the essential structure. ⚠️ Disclaimer Trading financial products (Futures, Crypto, Forex, Stocks) involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You may sustain losses exceeding your initial investment. This indicator is a decision-support and technical analysis tool. It does not constitute investment advice, nor an inducement to buy or sell any financial asset. Past performance or simulations generated by this tool do not guarantee future results. Use this tool at your own risk and in accordance with your own risk management.

RED-E Institutional Flow Tracker ProRED-E Institutional Flow Tracker Pro A histogram-based institutional activity detector for swing traders and options traders. Identifies institutional buying/selling pressure through volume analysis, money flow calculations, and manipulation detection algorithms. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ OVERVIEW ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This indicator addresses two critical challenges in swing trading: 1. Exiting profitable positions prematurely due to normal market volatility 2. Holding positions during periods of market manipulation The histogram display provides clear visual signals (BUY/HOLD/SELL) with educational tooltips explaining why each signal appeared and how to trade it. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ORIGINALITY & METHODOLOGY ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Built from scratch using Pine Script v6, this indicator combines multiple analytical methods into a unified histogram system: **Core Detection Methods:** - **Dollar Volume Analysis** - Multiplies price by volume to identify institutional-sized trades. Default threshold: 3x average dollar volume over 20 periods. - **Smart Money Flow Detection** - Combines three simultaneous conditions: unusual volume (1.5x+ average), large order size (3x+ average dollar volume), and directional price movement. All three must occur on the same bar for confirmation. - **Money Flow Index Integration** - 14-period volume-weighted momentum indicator. Calculated as: typical price (HLC3) × volume, separated into positive flow (up bars) and negative flow (down bars), converted to 0-100 scale. - **Manipulation Detection Algorithm** - Identifies suspicious patterns where volume spikes dramatically (>1.5x threshold) but price moves minimally (<0.5% volatility). This pattern is characteristic of spoofing, layering, and wash trading. - **Market Regime Classification** - Uses Money Flow Index combined with flow strength to classify market state as Bullish (MFI >50 and positive flow), Bearish (MFI <50 and negative flow), or Neutral. **Histogram Calculation:** Formula: (Price Change % × Volume Ratio) × (1.5x multiplier if large order detected) Smoothed with 3-period EMA for clean visualization Values automatically scaled for optimal display **21-Period Moving Average:** Simple moving average of histogram values provides trend direction confirmation. Crossovers signal momentum shifts. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL DETAILS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ **1. Volume Analysis Foundation** - 50-period SMA of volume establishes baseline - Current volume compared to baseline creates Volume Ratio - Unusual volume threshold (default 1.5x) flags institutional interest **2. Money Flow Index (14-period default)** - Typical price = (High + Low + Close) / 3 - Raw Money Flow = Typical Price × Volume - Positive Flow = Raw Money Flow when price up - Negative Flow = Raw Money Flow when price down - MFI = 100 - **3. Large Order Detection** - Dollar Volume = Close Price × Volume - 20-period average establishes baseline - Orders exceeding 3x baseline flagged as institutional **4. Smart Money Logic** - Buying Signal: Positive price change AND large order AND volume >1.5x average (all simultaneous) - Selling Signal: Negative price change AND large order AND volume >1.5x average (all simultaneous) - Must occur on same bar for confirmation **5. Flow Magnitude Tracking** - Dollar volume tracked cumulatively - Automatically resets daily at market open - Formatted in readable units: K (thousands), M (millions), B (billions), T (trillions) - Displayed in dashboard for easy monitoring **6. Signal Classification** - Strong Buy: Histogram >0.3 AND bullish regime AND unusual volume - Buy: Histogram >0.15 AND bullish regime - Hold: Histogram between ±0.15 OR neutral regime - Sell: Histogram <-0.15 AND bearish regime - Strong Sell: Histogram <-0.3 AND bearish regime AND unusual volume **7. Manipulation Detection** - Triggers when: Volume Ratio > threshold AND price volatility < 0.5% - This pattern suggests large volume without corresponding price impact - Common in spoofing (fake orders), layering (multiple false orders), and wash trading ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HISTOGRAM DISPLAY & INTERPRETATION ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ **Color-Coded Bars:** - **Bright Green** - Strong institutional buying (>0.3 momentum + bullish regime + unusual volume) - **Light Green** - Institutional buying (>0.15 momentum + bullish regime) - **Gray** - Neutral/Hold zone (±0.15 momentum or neutral regime) - **Light Red** - Institutional selling (<-0.15 momentum + bearish regime) - **Bright Red** - Strong institutional selling (<-0.3 momentum + bearish regime + unusual volume) **Visual Signals:** - **BUY labels** - Appear above bright green bars with detailed tooltip - **SELL labels** - Appear below bright red bars with detailed tooltip - **HOLD labels** - Appear on most recent bar during consolidation with educational tooltip - **Yellow warning dots (⚠)** - Mark manipulation periods at zero line with explanation tooltip - **Blue 21-period MA** - Shows overall trend direction **Interactive Tooltips:** Hover over any signal to see: - Why the signal appeared (exact metrics) - What the data shows (momentum, MFI, volume values) - How to trade it (entry, exit, position sizing) - Risk management recommendations **Plot Style Options:** Users can choose from 5 display styles: - Columns (default) - Traditional histogram bars - Area - Filled area chart - Line - Simple line chart - Step Line - Step-style line - Histogram - Alternative histogram style ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ DASHBOARD METRICS EXPLAINED ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 12-row real-time dashboard displays: **Current Flow** - Institutional money flow for current bar (M/B/T units) **Daily Flow** - Cumulative activity since market open (resets daily) **Flow Strength** - Intensity percentage (0-100%) - >70% = Extreme pressure - 40-70% = Moderate activity - <40% = Weak/absent activity **Money Flow Index** - Volume-weighted momentum (0-100 scale) - >60 = Strong buying pressure - 40-60 = Neutral/mixed - <40 = Strong selling pressure **Volume Ratio** - Current vs 50-day average - >2.0x = Highly unusual - 1.5-2.0x = Unusual - <1.5x = Normal **Market Regime** - Current classification - Bullish: MFI >50 AND histogram >0 - Bearish: MFI <50 AND histogram <0 - Neutral: All other conditions **Activity Status** - Real-time assessment - HEAVY BUYING: Unusual volume + buying + MFI >60 - BUYING: Large orders + positive movement - HEAVY SELLING: Unusual volume + selling + MFI <40 - SELLING: Large orders + negative movement - NEUTRAL: No significant activity **Unusual Volume** - Binary alert when exceeds threshold **Large Orders** - Binary alert when dollar volume >3x average **Manipulation Warning** - Binary alert for suspicious patterns **Swing Signal** - Primary recommendation - HOLD LONG: Bullish regime + Flow Strength >60% - HOLD SHORT: Bearish regime + Flow Strength >60% - CAUTION: Manipulation detected - MONITOR: All other conditions ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HOW TO USE FOR SWING TRADING ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ **ENTRY CONFIRMATION (Long Positions):** Wait for multiple confirmations: 1.

Footprint.Pro-v3.7-EN [Elykia]Title: Footprint Pro System - Order Flow & Price Action Footprint Pro is a comprehensive institutional-grade Order Flow suite designed to visualize the internal dynamics of a candle. It allows traders to see Bid x Ask volume, Delta, and Liquidity imbalances directly inside the bars, offering a "X-Ray" view of the market. This tool is optimized for Scalping and Intraday trading, compatible with both Standard Timeframes and simulated Range Bars. 🔥 Key Features 1. Dual Calculation Modes Timeframe Mode: Displays Footprints on standard candles (1m, 5m, etc.) with a live countdown. Range Mode (Simulated): Calculates Range Bars based on volatility (Points/Ticks) rather than time. This filters out noise and highlights pure price movement. Note: Includes a performance optimizer to limit historical calculation. 2. Advanced Visualization Styles Standard Style: Classic box display with Bid x Ask or Total Volume numbers. Includes a Volume Heatmap that changes color intensity based on Delta strength. Profile Style: Displays a volume profile histogram next to each candle to visualize the distribution of liquidity within the bar. 3. 🧠 Smart Assistant & Automated Setups The script includes a real-time analysis engine that detects 5 high-probability Order Flow setups: S1 - Rejection: Detects price reversal with strong wick rejection and Delta confirmation. S2 - Exhaustion: Identifies a trend drying up (Volume drops significantly at highs/lows). S3 - Absorption (Iceberg): Detects aggressive buying/selling that fails to move price (High Volume + Inverse Delta). S4 - Trapped Traders (New): "Effort vs. Result." Detects high Delta participation but the candle closes in reverse (e.g., Doji or opposite color). S5 - Stacked Imbalances (New): Identifies "Walls" of liquidity. Looks for 3 consecutive levels where Buy/Sell volume exceeds the imbalance ratio (default 300%). 4. Data & Analytics Dashboard Fixed Data Ribbon: A ribbon at the bottom of the screen showing Volume, Delta, and Divergences for the last 50 candles. Technical Dashboard: Displays current mode, Range size, and tick value. Setups Table: An on-screen legend explaining active signals and their logic. 5. Order Flow Nuances Delta Flip (Divergence): Highlights candles where Price and Delta disagree (e.g., Red Candle but Positive Delta), signaling a potential reversal or trap. POC (Point of Control): auto-plots the highest volume node of the candle. VWAP Session: Integrated anchor for confluence. 5. 🔥 Advanced Histogram & Visualization The core of this system is its ability to break down a candle into granular price levels (bins). It offers a rich visual representation of market intent: Dynamic Histogram: Standard Style: Displays volume blocks inside the candle. Profile Style: Projects a Volume Profile histogram alongside the candle to instantly identify high-volume nodes (HVN) and low-volume nodes (LVN). Delta & Volume Data: You can choose to display Bid x Ask interactions or Total Volume per level. Delta Coloring: Automatically colors bars based on the net difference between buyers and sellers. Smart Heatmap (Visual Filtering): The script uses a dynamic Heatmap System. Weak Levels: Displayed with high transparency (faint colors), filtering out noise. Strong Levels: Displayed in solid, bright colors (Red/Green) when volume/delta exceeds critical thresholds. This draws your eye immediately to where the real money is exchanging hands. 🛠️ Installation & Best Setup (Critical) For the most accurate volume filtering and "Tick-Perfect" precision, this tool is designed to work on the lowest possible timeframe. 1. Set Chart to 1-Second Timeframe: Ideally, position your TradingView chart on the 1-second (1s) timeframe. Why? The script aggregates these micro-movements to reconstruct higher timeframe candles with minimal data loss and maximum volume precision. 2. Clean the Chart: Go to Chart Settings (Symbol). Uncheck "Body", "Borders", and "Wick". Why? The script draws its own custom candles. Hiding the native chart prevents visual clutter. 3. Configure the Footprint: Open the Indicator Settings. Timeframe Footprint: Select your desired trading timeframe (e.g., 1 minutes ... 15 minutes, ). The script will now calculate and draw a perfect 5-minute Footprint candle using the high-precision 1-second data feed. 🚀 Optimization Footprint charts are calculation-heavy. This script includes a Performance Optimization group: Limits the number of drawn boxes. Dynamic buffer calculation. "Smart Load" allows you to view historical data without freezing the browser. Recommended (Premium): To optimize the tool and precisely separate Buy/Sell, using second-based charts (1s, 5s) via a TradingView Premium subscription is highly recommended. Disclaimer: Order Flow analysis requires practice. This tool provides data visualization and does not constitute financial advice.

Hash SupertrendHash Supertrend is a visually enhanced Supertrend-based indicator designed by Hash Capital Research, tuned specifically for crypto trend trading on Solana (SOL) and Bitcoin (BTC). It combines institutional-style color coding, an optional session time filter, and production-ready alerts for systematic and discretionary traders alike. What This Indicator Is Hash Supertrend is a trend-following volatility band indicator built on TradingView’s native ta.supertrend() function. It’s optimized and visually styled for: High-volatility crypto pairs (especially SOL/USDT, SOL/USD, BTC/USDT, BTC/USD) Timeframes typically used by crypto traders (from 5m scalping to 4H swing and 1D trend following) The script is an indicator, not a strategy: It does not place trades or show backtest results. It provides clear trend states, flips, and alerts that you can plug into your own execution stack or manual trading. Key Features ✅ Tuned for Crypto (Solana & Bitcoin) Parameters are chosen to respond well to the volatility profile of SOL and BTC, reducing noise while still catching strong moves. ✅ Non-repainting Supertrend Core Uses TradingView’s built-in ta.supertrend — values may move intrabar as the bar forms, but once a bar closes, the historical line and signals do not repaint. ✅ Fluorescent Trend Visualization Bright green for bullish phases Bright red for bearish phases Adaptive color intensity based on user setting ✅ Glow Layer & Trend Zones Glow effect around the Supertrend line for instant visual recognition Optional filled zones between price and line for “trend cloud” style visualization ✅ Time Filter (Session Control) Option to only mark signals during specific hours for those wanting to integrate with webhooks Designed for traders who avoid certain sessions (e.g., low-liquidity hours) ✅ Signal Dots & Alerts Tiny green dots for bullish flips Tiny red dots for bearish flips Professional, preconfigured alerts for: Long Entry Short Entry Any Trend Change Filtered signals outside trading hours (for monitoring only) The core logic is built on: ATR Length (ATR Length) Default: 16 Lower values (7–10): more sensitive, more signals, more noise Higher values (12–20): smoother, fewer but stronger trend signals Factor (Factor) Default: 3.11 Lower values (1.5–2.5): tighter bands, earlier entries, higher whipsaws Higher values (3.0–4.0+): wider bands, later entries, stronger trend confirmation The indicator reads direction from ta.supertrend and classifies: Bullish Trend: direction < 0 Bearish Trend: direction > 0 A trend flip happens when direction changes sign: longSignal: Supertrend flips from above price to below price (bearish → bullish) shortSignal: Supertrend flips from below price to above price (bullish → bearish)

MNQ Tri-Confluence Intraday (Invite Only)What this script does This tool is built for intraday traders who want clean, high-quality directional signals on Nasdaq Micro E-Mini futures (MNQ) and other index futures. It combines: A fast EMA for immediate trend direction, VWAP as an institutional anchor, Recent swing highs/lows as a simple structure filter to highlight only those moments when price is aligned above all three (for longs) or below all three (for shorts) and actually breaking the most recent swing. The result is a trend-following bias filter that avoids spamming you with same-side signals unless the prior move has clearly failed. Signal logic (high level) Bullish condition (Buy): Within the NY session (optional filter) Close > EMA(10) Close > VWAP Close > most recent swing high No active bullish trend, or we just flipped from bearish, or a prior bullish leg has failed Bearish condition (Sell): Within the NY session (optional filter) Close < EMA(10) Close < VWAP Close < most recent swing low No active bearish trend, or we just flipped from bullish, or a prior bearish leg has failed The script also tracks: Last Buy low: if price closes below this, the bullish move is considered failed Last Sell high: if price closes above this, the bearish move is considered failed When a move fails, the trend state resets to neutral so the same-side setup can “re-arm” cleanly. Visuals on the chart Teal line – EMA (default 10) Orange line – VWAP Magenta line – Most recent swing high (line-break style) Aqua line – Most recent swing low (line-break style) Lime triangle below bar – Valid Buy signal Red triangle above bar – Valid Sell signal Use the EMA/VWAP and swing lines as context, and the triangles as your alert-ready triggers. Inputs & customization Use NY Session Filter? Turn this on if you only want signals from 09:30–16:00 exchange time. NY Session (exchange time) Default 09:30–16:00. Adjust if you trade a different session window. EMA Length Default 10. Lower values = more reactive, more signals. Higher = smoother trend, fewer signals. Swing Length (L/R bars) Controls how strict swing highs/lows are. Lower = more responsive, more structural breaks. Higher = swing levels update less often but are stronger. Alerts The script defines two ready-to-use alerts: “Buy Alert” – when a new bullish condition is confirmed “Sell Alert” – when a new bearish condition is confirmed Set them in Trading View as: Condition : this indicator → “Buy Alert” / “Sell Alert” Options : Once Per Bar Close (recommended) Actions : popup, sound, email, push, webhook — as you prefer How to use it in a workflow Typical use case (for MNQ 1–5 minute charts): Apply the indicator to MNQ on your intraday timeframe. Keep your own higher-timeframe bias (15m / 1h / 4h) for context. Use Buy triangles for long ideas when they align with HTF bias. Use Sell triangles likewise for shorts. Combine with your own risk management: Stop near recent swing low (for longs) or swing high (for shorts) Use your preferred RR (1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, etc.) The indicator is a confluence tool, not a standalone system. It’s designed to keep you on the right side of the intraday trend and help avoid fighting EMA+VWAP+structure at the same time. Disclaimers This script does not guarantee profits or prevent losses. Past performance of any strategy or tool does not guarantee future results. Always test thoroughly on a demo account and size your risk responsibly.

[longshorti] Auto Fibonacci Grid (Long/Short) 🌟 Auto Fibonacci Grid (Long/Short) — Smart Retracement Tool The Auto Fibonacci Grid (Long/Short) is an advanced trading utility designed to automate the process of identifying key Fibonacci retracement levels for both bullish and bearish swings. This indicator provides traders with precise zones for potential entries during market corrections. ✨ Key Features and Originality: True Auto-Detection: The script automatically analyzes the market impulse within the lookback window to determine if the current grid should be calculated for a Bullish (Long) or Bearish (Short) scenario. Impulse Filtered Alerts: A custom alert system triggers only when the price enters your designated key zone and when the underlying market impulse exceeds a user-defined Minimum Impulse Percentage. This is crucial for filtering out false signals generated by weak, consolidating movements. Dynamic Correction Zones: Define any range of Fibonacci levels (e.g., 0.5 to 0.618) to be highlighted as your Key Zone (Buy or Sell Zone), with dedicated color schemes for Long and Short setups. Visual Tracking: Fills between levels dynamically change color to indicate the impulse direction and track which zones have already been successfully tested by the price action. 🧠 How It Works: The indicator scans the last N bars (Fixed Window Lookback) to identify the Low and High of the swing. It then compares the bar indices to determine the final direction. The calculateFibPrice function internally adapts to project correction levels from the High down (for Long) or from the Low up (for Short), ensuring the grid is always applied correctly to the impulse. ⚙️ Settings Overview: The script includes comprehensive settings for: Grid Mode: Auto Detect, Force Bullish, or Force Bearish. Impulse Filter: Set the minimum percentage (0% = Off) required for alerts to trigger. MFI/RSI Settings: Used for additional signal confirmation (internal logic). Display & Style: Full control over line colors, fill colors, and text sizes.

SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls [PhenLabs]📊 SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls Version: PineScript™ v6 📌 Description The SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls indicator is designed to visualize market volatility and potential reversal zones using advanced statistical modeling. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands that use simple lines, this script utilizes an “Inverted Sigmoid” opacity function to create a “fog of war” effect. This visualizes the density of liquidity: the further price moves from the equilibrium (mean), the “harder” the liquidity wall becomes. This tool solves the problem of over-trading in low-probability areas. By automatically mapping “Premium” (Resistance) and “Discount” (Support) zones based on Standard Deviation (SD), traders can instantly see when price is overextended. The result is a clean, intuitive overlay that helps you identify high-probability mean reversion setups without cluttering your chart with manual drawings. 🚀 Points of Innovation Inverted Sigmoid Logic: A custom mathematical function maps Standard Deviation to opacity, creating a realistic “wall” density effect rather than linear gradients. Dynamic “Solidity”: The indicator is transparent at the center (Equilibrium) and becomes visually solid at the edges, mimicking physical resistance. Separated Directional Bias: distinct Red (Premium) and Green (Discount) coding helps SMC traders instantly recognize expensive vs. cheap pricing. Smart “Safe” Deviation: Includes fallback logic to handle calculation errors if deviation hits zero, ensuring the indicator never crashes during data gaps. 🔧 Core Components Basis Calculation: Uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the market’s equilibrium point. Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates 1SD, 2SD, and 3SD levels to define the statistical extremes of price action. Sigmoid Alpha Calculation: Converts the SD distance into a transparency value (0-100) to drive the visual gradient. 🔥 Key Features Automated Premium/Discount Zones: Red zones indicate overbought (Premium) areas; Green zones indicate oversold (Discount) areas. Customizable Density: Users can adjust the “Steepness” and “Midpoint” of the sigmoid curve to control how fast the walls become solid. Integrated Alerts: Built-in alert conditions trigger when price hits the “Solid” wall (2SD or higher), perfect for automated trading or notifications. Visual Clarity: The center of the chart remains clear (high transparency) to keep focus on price action where it matters most. 🎨 Visualization Equilibrium Line: A gray line representing the mean price. Gradient Fills: The space between bands fills with color that increases in opacity as it moves outward. Premium Wall: Upper zones fade from transparent red to solid red. Discount Wall: Lower zones fade from transparent green to solid green. 📖 Usage Guidelines Range Period: Default 20. Controls the lookback period for the SMA and Standard Deviation calculation. Source: Default Close. The price data used for calculations. Center Transparency: Default 100 (Clear). Controls how transparent the middle of the chart is. Edge Transparency: Default 45 (Solid). Controls the opacity of the outermost liquidity wall. Wall Steepness: Default 2.5. Adjusts how aggressively the gradient transitions from clear to solid. Wall Start Point: Default 1.5 SD. The deviation level where the gradient shift begins to accelerate. ✅ Best Use Cases Mean Reversion Trading: Enter trades when price hits the solid 2SD or 3SD wall and shows rejection wicks. Take Profit Targets: Use the Equilibrium (Gray Line) as a logical first target for reversal trades. Trend Filtering: Do not initiate new long positions when price is deep inside the Red (Premium) wall. ⚠️ Limitations Lagging Nature: As a statistical tool based on Moving Averages, the walls react to past price data and may lag during sudden volatility spikes. Trending Markets: In strong parabolic trends, price can “ride” the bands for extended periods; mean reversion should be used with caution in these conditions. 💡 What Makes This Unique Physics-Based Visualization: We treat liquidity as a physical barrier that gets denser the deeper you push, rather than just a static line on a chart. 🔬 How It Works Step 1: The script calculates the mean (SMA) and the Standard Deviation (SD) of the source price. Step 2: It defines three zones above and below the mean (1SD, 2SD, 3SD). Step 3: The custom `get_inverted_sigmoid` function calculates an Alpha (transparency) value based on the SD distance. Step 4: Plot fills are colored dynamically, creating a seamless gradient that hardens at the extremes to visualize the “Liquidity Wall.” 💡 Note For best results, combine this indicator with Price Action confirmation (such as pin bars or engulfing candles) when price touches the solid walls.

Signal Algo - Elephant EdgeDescription Signal Algo - Advance Elephant Edge is a rule-based, intraday detection system that combines candle-pattern logic with session-driven support and resistance zones. creating a clean confluence-based signal that removes noise. This tool is designed for traders who prefer structured rules over subjective drawing, and want clear, event-driven alerts without unrealistic promises or over-optimized behavior. What This Script Does (Short & Simple) 1. Hammer-Type Candle Detection The script looks for long-wick hammer or inverted hammer candles using your wick-ratio setting. It also checks candle size, body size, and doji conditions so that only clean and meaningful rejection candles are highlighted. 2. Session-Based Percentile Support & Resistance The indicator calculates percentile levels from previous sessions and plots up to four upper and lower S/R lines around the daily open. These levels act as dynamic zones where price often reacts. 3. Optional Strike-Price Zones For symbols that move around round numbers or strike intervals, the script can draw strike-based S/R lines (like 50 or 100 points) You can choose solid or dotted lines and select how many zones to show. 4.Higher-Timeframe Trend Background A light green or red background shows the overall trend direction. Green = bullish bias, Red = bearish bias. 🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES Elephant Support & Resistance Elephant Support & Resistance creates intraday support and resistance levels using percentile data from previous sessions. Instead of drawing lines manually, calculates how far price usually moves above and below previous sessions. and then plots those levels automatically. Each percentile pair (Level 1–4) gives one upper line and one lower line. These lines represent price zones where the market has reacted many times in the past. When price reaches these levels, it often pauses, reverses, or shows rejection candles. 🔶USAGE & EXAMPLES Strike Price Support & Resistance Strike Price Zones are plotted because most markets naturally react around fixed strike levels. Every index, stock, or international market has its own commonly traded strike prices. These levels attract large traders and institutions, who often build positions around them. When price moves toward one of these strike levels, big players frequently defend or reject that zone. As a result, price may pause, reverse, or show strong reactions at or near these strikes. Because of this behavior, Strike Price Zones work as practical intraday support and resistance levels. They help traders see where important reactions can occur, where momentum may slow down, and where potential reversals may form. These zones are not buy/sell signals by themselves, but they provide a simple, objective roadmap of key levels that the market respects during the session. 🔷 FEATURES 1. Hammer-Based Rejection Signals 2. Candle Size Filtering 3. Elephant Percentile Support & Resistance 4. Strike Price Support & Resistance Zones 5. Combined Confluence Logic 6. Higher-Timeframe Trend Background 7. Clean Visual Layout 8. Yellow Highlight Candle 9. Intraday Session Handling 10. Built-In Alerts 11. Fully Customizable Inputs 12.

SPY SRX S&R Levels - Premium EditionSRX SPY Predictive Support & Resistance Levels SRX is not a typical TradingView support/resistance indicator. These levels are not calculated on TradingView at all . Instead, every morning after market open, nearly 20,000 data points are analyzed externally to determine where SPY is statistically most likely to react. This produces support and resistance levels that are hyper-accurate, mathematically derived, and consistently respected intraday , not hand-drawn guesses or generic indicator outputs. On top of that, SRX plots dynamic volatility-based zones around each major level so you can catch moves that don’t hit the level penny-perfect. SRX also generates Buy/Sell Arrows during trending conditions and Buy/Sell Circles during non-trending or early-trend conditions. Arrows = higher-probability trend-aligned setups. Circles = lower-confidence ideas that can often be scalped on 1m–3m charts. This tool is built for traders who want clarity, precision, and the ability to anticipate key reactions on SPY with confidence. Features: Externally Calculated SRX Levels: Nearly 20,000 data points analyzed daily to produce statistically significant support & resistance levels. Dynamic Volatility Zones: Capture moves that don’t hit levels perfectly with automatically adjusting upper/lower zones. Expected Daily Range: Session high/low projections based on historical and current volatility. Support Levels (S1–S4): Up to four graduated support zones for precision planning. Resistance Levels (R1–R4): Up to four graduated resistance zones built from the same predictive model. Premarket High/Low (PMH/PML): Toggleable levels from premarket session. Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL): Quickly mark the prior day’s key reaction points. Previous Day Open/Close (PDO/PDC): Additional contextual levels (toggle on/off). Buy/Sell Arrows: Trigger when price interacts with both the EMA and an SRX level/zone in trending conditions. Buy/Sell Circles: Trigger in non-trending environments — lower confidence but often scalp-friendly. EMA Overlay: Adjustable EMA used for signal confirmation (default length 8). Runway Filter: Optional filter that improves signal quality by measuring available “runway” before the next SRX level. Near EMA Touch Logic: Helps detect momentum shifts and avoid false signals. Bias Filter: Determines whether the market is trending up, trending down, or neutral — off by default but extremely powerful. Historical Data Section: View previous SRX levels for backtesting and strategy review. Customizable Appearance: Colors, transparency, labels, arrows, zone styling and more. Built-In Alerts: Zone/Level Touch or Cross PMH/PML Touch or Cross PDH/PDL Touch or Cross PDO/PDC Touch or Cross Max-Range High/Low Reached Buy/Sell Arrow Signals How to Use: Copy the daily SRX data string from the official Discord channel. Paste it into the “SRX Levels Input” field inside the indicator settings. Customize colors, zones, EMA, signals, and filters to match your trading style. Use SRX support/resistance levels as the foundation for intraday setups. Use Arrows when the market is trending and the bias is clear. Use Circles cautiously during choppy or unconfirmed conditions (often great for scalp entries on 1m/3m). Optionally enable alerts for level reactions or signal prints. Ideal For: Intraday traders who rely on precise support/resistance SPY scalpers seeking high-probability reaction zones Momentum traders catching breakouts or bounces Traders who want statistical structure, not subjective drawings Important Notes: SRX levels are calculated externally using proprietary models. This indicator requires a paid subscription to access the daily SRX support/resistance data. Daily levels are delivered through our private Discord. Without the SRX daily data string, the indicator will not display levels. You can join here to get access to the SRX Levels feed: stockalertsreviewed.clickfunnels.com SRX currently works exclusively with SPY (as of Dec 2025). We plan to expand to additional tickers in 2026. Buy/Sell signals are trade ideas — always confirm with market context.

Discipline Box Trader — by chaitu50cDiscipline Box Trader — by chaitu50c is a rule-based price action tool built around alternating candle structures. For each session, the indicator detects FIRST key alternating zone, marks it as a gray “Discipline Box”, and then tracks how price breaks and rotates through that zone with clear green/red segments. The idea is simple: The script continuously looks for alternating candle sequences: Red → Green → Red → Green … or Green → Red → Green → Red … When the sequence reaches your minimum required length (Min candles in alternate combo), it: Finds the highest high and lowest low of that entire alternation combo. Draws a gray rectangular box from the start of the combo to its end. This gray region is named the “Discipline Box”. After this Discipline Box is created: Upside breakout → close > box high Downside breakout → close < box low For example if, Upside Breakout → Green Regime Segment The gray box is visually closed at the previous bar. A new green box segment starts from the breakout bar. Box fill, border, and center line all turn green. This green segment extends to the right until another breakout flips the regime. There is a small visible gap between the gray box and the new coloured segment, clearly showing where the breakout actually occurred. Within the same session, price may: Break up → green segment. Later break down through the same band → red segment. Possibly flip again. All of this happens inside the one original Discipline Box, giving a clean visual map of who is in control now without creating new zones. Reset Mode None No automatic reset; box can persist across all data. New Day At each new trading day: Current box and center line are closed. All internal counters reset. A completely fresh Discipline Box can form for the new day. Gap Minutes If time between candles exceeds Gap Threshold (minutes): Treat this as a session break. Close the current box and restart detection after the gap. This ensures clarity and separation between sessions and prevents overlapping “old” structure from dominating new market conditions. Trading Framework: 2 Trades per Discipline Box ⚠️ This is not financial advice. This is a structured usage idea to support discipline. A suggested trading framework to pair with this indicator: Trade 1 — First Breakout Trade Wait for the first body-based breakout from the Discipline Box: Upside breakout → consider a single long trade. Downside breakout → consider a single short trade. Use the box high, low, and midline as reference points for: Stop placement, partial exits, or risk-reward zones. Trade 2 — Opposite Regime Flip If price later breaks the opposite side of the same box: Consider exactly one more trade in the new direction (a failed breakout / reversal play). Example: green regime first, later broken down into red → potential short trade. After these maximum 2 trades per Discipline Box, you can: Skip additional trades inside that session’s structure. Wait patiently for the next session and next Discipline Box to form. This hard rule helps avoid over-trading, revenge trades, and emotional interference — staying faithful to the “Discipline” theme. The indicator has a built-in alert condition: Discipline Box Detected Triggers Whenever a new gray Discipline Box is created (i.e., the first valid alternation zone for that session). Practical Notes & Disclaimer The indicator does not tell you when to buy or sell; it simply: Marks a disciplined structure zone. Shows live regime shifts (green/red). Supports a clear “max 2 trades per box” framework. Use on a demo first, adapt to your style, and always remember: Your discipline matters more than the indicator.

Smoothed Heiken Ashi - Thrust Body HighlightSmoothed Heiken Ashi – Thrust Body Highlight is a price–action visualization tool designed to make strong directional “thrust” candles stand out and filter out noisy, wick-heavy bars. Instead of using raw OHLC data, this script first applies an EMA smoothing (user-defined length) to open, high, low, and close, then builds a smoothed Heiken Ashi candle from those values. It then measures the total range of each HA candle and compares the wick size to that range. When the lower wick is small and the candle closes above its open, the bar is highlighted as a bull thrust (green). When the upper wick is small and the candle closes below its open, the bar is highlighted as a bear thrust (red). All other candles are shown as neutral (gray), helping you visually focus only on strong, decisive moves. Use this indicator to: Quickly spot momentum thrusts in the current trend Filter out choppy, indecisive price action Refine entries/exits when combined with your existing strategy (structure, EMAs, volume, etc.) Inputs Smoothing Length: EMA length used to smooth price before building Heiken Ashi candles. Max Lower Wick % for Bull Thrust: Maximum lower wick as a percentage of total range for a candle to qualify as a bullish thrust. Max Upper Wick % for Bear Thrust: Maximum upper wick as a percentage of total range for a candle to qualify as a bearish thrust. This tool is intended as an aid to visual analysis, not as a standalone buy/sell signal.

MA Strength Indicator EnhancedThe "MA Strength" is an indicator that measures market trend strength or (in the case of forex pairs) the relative strength of individual currencies based on up to five different moving averages (MA). It offers multiple calculation methods, such as simple summation, normalized value, or measuring ATR/percentage distance from the price. The results are summarized in a clear table, and it provides customizable alerts for trend changes or shifts in currency strength. The high level of configurability (e.g., MA weighting, "all MA alignment" requirement) allows for fine-tuning the strategy. 💬 Interpreting the Table (Top Rows) The top row of the table shows the final output of the indicator. This changes according to the set "Table Mode". Trend Mode: The top row shows the final, aggregated trend status (e.g., "BULLISH", "NEUTRAL") and the corresponding "Trend Value". This is the value the indicator compares to its thresholds. Forex Mode: (Only on 6-character pairs): The top two rows show the strength of the Base currency and the Quote currency separately. Calculation of the top rows: The indicator calculates the individual score of all active MAs (according to the chosen method). Trend Value: This is the final value calculated from the scores. If "Enable Averaging" is ON, this will be the average of the scores (e.g., MA1 score is 5.0, MA2 score is 7.0 -> Trend Value is 6.0). If averaging is OFF, this will be the sum of the scores (e.g., 5.0 + 7.0 = 12.0). Forex Calculation: "Forex Mode" uses this "Trend Value". If the Trend Value is +6.0 (on an EURUSD pair): The Base currency (EUR) value will be +6.0. The Quote currency (USD) value will be -6.0. The indicator compares these values to the thresholds to determine the "STRONG" status for EUR and "WEAK" status for USD. 📊 Calculation Methods The indicator can calculate trend strength using 5 methods. The final "Trend Value" is derived from the results of these calculations. Sum: Description: Simply adds up the individual scores of all enabled moving averages (MA). Formula: If the price is above an MA, it gets the "Score Above" value (e.g., +2.0); if below, it gets the "Score Below" value (e.g., -2.0). Example: Result = (MA1 score) + (MA2 score) + ... Normalized: Description: Takes the sum obtained by the "Sum" method and converts it to a scale between -100% (maximally bearish) and +100% (maximally bullish). It takes into account the maximum possible positive and negative scores. Formula: Result = (Total Score / Max Possible Score) * 100 Percentage Distance: Description: This method also considers distance. The further the price is from the MA in percentage terms, the higher the score. Formula: MA Score = (|Close Price - MA| / MA * 100) * Weight (The "Weight" is the "Score Above/Below" value set in settings). ATR Distance: Description: Similar to percentage distance, but normalizes the distance using volatility via ATR (Average True Range). Formula: MA Score = (|Close Price - MA| / ATR) * Weight Candle Count: Description: Counts how many consecutive candles have been above or below the MA. It multiplies this number by the set weight. Formula: MA Score = (Number of consecutive candles) * Weight ⚙️ Settings Options Moving Averages (MA 1-5) For each moving average, you can set: Enable MA: Turn the specific MA on or off. Type: The type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.). Period: The period of the MA (e.g., 50, 200). Score Above / Below: The most important setting. This defines the "weight" of the MA in the calculation. In "Sum" mode, this is a fixed score; in distance-based modes, this is a multiplier (weight). It is advisable to write a positive number for "Score Above" and a negative number for "Score Below". Calculation Settings Enable Averaging: If this is on, the indicator shows the average of the active MA scores, not the total score. Exception: This function is not available in "Normalized" mode. Require All MA Alignment: This is a strict filter. If enabled, the indicator only gives a "BULLISH" (or "STRONG") signal if the price is above all enabled moving averages. Similarly, a "BEARISH" signal only occurs if the price is below all moving averages. If the price is on the opposite side of even just one MA (e.g., above 4, below 1), the status becomes "NEUTRAL", regardless of the scores. Strength / Trend Thresholds Enable Extra Levels: If active, statuses are expanded: "EXT. BULLISH" / "EXT. BEARISH" (Trend mode) or "EXT. STRONG" / "EXT. WEAK" (Forex mode). This indicates stronger, overbought/oversold conditions. Threshold setting: The thresholds (e.g., "Strong Above - ATR") determine when the calculated value counts as a "STRONG" or "WEAK" status. 🔢 Setting Thresholds via Calculation If "Enable Averaging" is OFF, the "Trend Value" shown in the table will be the sum of the individual MA scores. Therefore, we must define the threshold by adding up the minimum expected performance from each moving average. This allows us to set different expectations for short, medium, and long-term averages. Step 1: Determine MA weights In our example, we use 3 active MAs with the following weights (Score Above values): MA1 (Short): Weight = +2 MA2 (Medium): Weight = +3 MA3 (Long): Weight = +4 Step 2: Determine the minimum expected distance Define a minimum distance expected from each MA to trigger a "Strong" signal. Step 3: Calculate target scores and the final threshold Note: If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the resulting value (sum of target scores) must be averaged to get the final threshold. Example 1: ATR Distance -Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if the price is... ...at least 1.0 ATR above MA1 (Short), ...at least 1.5 ATR above MA2 (Medium), ...and at least 2.0 ATR above MA3 (Long). -Calculation (Expected Distance * Weight): MA1 Target Score: 1.0 * 2 = 2.0 MA2 Target Score: 1.5 * 3 = 4.5 MA3 Target Score: 2.0 * 4 = 8.0 -Final Threshold (Sum of Target Scores): 2.0 + 4.5 + 8.0 = 14.5 -Setting: Set "Strong Above - ATR" threshold to 14.5. If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the threshold: 4.8 (14.5 / 3 = 4.83). Example 2: Percentage Distance -Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if the price is... ...at least 0.5% above MA1, ...at least 1.0% above MA2, ...and at least 1.5% above MA3. -Calculation (Expected Distance * Weight): MA1 Target Score: 0.5 * 2.0 = 1.0 MA2 Target Score: 1.0 * 3.0 = 3.0 MA3 Target Score: 1.5 * 4.0 = 6.0 -Final Threshold (Sum): 1.0 + 3.0 + 6.0 = 10.0 -Setting: Set "Strong Above - Percentage" threshold to 10.0. If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the threshold. Example 3: Candle Count -Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if... ...at least 3 consecutive candles are above MA1, ...at least 5 consecutive candles are above MA2, ...and at least 10 consecutive candles are above MA3. -Calculation (Expected Candle Count * Weight): MA1 Target Score: 3 * 2.0 = 6.0 MA2 Target Score: 5 * 3.0 = 15.0 MA3 Target Score: 10 * 4.0 = 40.0 -Final Threshold (Sum): 6.0 + 15.0 + 40.0 = 61.0 -Setting: Set "Strong Above - Candle" threshold to 61.0. If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the threshold. Example 4: Sum In this mode, distance does not matter, only whether the price is above or below the MA. -Goal: "Strong" signal if the price is above the long-term averages, but can be below the short-term (MA1). MA1 (Short): Can be below (Weight: -2.0) MA2 (Medium): Must be above (Weight: +3.0) MA3 (Long): Must be above (Weight: +4.0) -Calculation: -2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 5.0 -Setting: Set "Strong Above - Sum" threshold to 5.0. If it must be above all three moving averages, the threshold would be 2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 9.0. If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the threshold. Example 5: Normalized The basic logic is similar to the "Sum" method. -Goal: "Strong" signal if price is above MA2 and MA3, but potentially below MA1. -Calculation: Target Sum: 5.0. Max Possible Score (above all): 9.0. -Threshold: (5.0 / 9.0) * 100 = 55.5 In this calculation method, averaging cannot be set. The Usage of the "ATR %" Row The "ATR %" row shows the percentage movement of an average candle. How to use this with "Percentage Distance" mode: This number gives a baseline. It helps decide if the "Percentage Distance" threshold is realistic. Example: You see the "ATR %" value is hovering around 1.2%. This means a "normal" candle moves about 1.2%. If you set the Percentage threshold to 0.5%, it is too low. The indicator will constantly give a "Strong" signal because even average movement (noise) exceeds the threshold. Correct Usage: If "normal" movement is 1.2%, then a "strong" movement (trend) needs to be significantly larger. For example, set the threshold to double the ATR %: 2.4 (2 * 1.2). Thus, you only get a "Strong" signal if the movement is twice the average volatility. Supplementary Information Rounding Differences: The numbers displayed in the table and the precision of calculations in the background differ. Table Display: The indicator rounds numbers to two decimal places in the table. So, if the value is 0.996, the table shows 1.00 (rounded up). Internal Calculation: The background calculation uses much higher precision. When determining status (STRONG vs NEUTRAL), the program compares the precise, unrounded value to the threshold. Result: Due to rounding, it may happen that if the threshold is 1.00 and the table shows 1.00, the status flickers between Strong and Neutral. If this is bothersome, it is advisable to set a slightly lower threshold (e.g., 0.98). 🔔 Alert Settings The indicator can send alerts when the status changes. Alert Method: Trend: Alerts when the main trend status changes (e.g., from "NEUTRAL" to "BULLISH"). You can specify which direction to alert for (e.g., only "BULLISH"). Forex: Works only on 6-character forex pairs. You can set separate alerts for the Base or Quote currency. Forex Strength Level: You can specify at which status level to alert (e.g., "WEAK" or "EXT. STRONG"). 📈 Trading Tips Trend Confirmation: Use the "BULLISH" / "BEARISH" status to confirm your existing strategy (e.g., breakouts, bounces off support). Forex Pairing: In Forex mode, look for pairs where the Base currency is "STRONG" and the Quote currency is "WEAK" (or "EXT. STRONG" / "EXT. WEAK") for a long position. Short Position: Reverse the above (Base: WEAK, Quote: STRONG).

EMA Market Structure [BOSWaves]EMA Market Structure - Trend-Driven Structural Mapping with Adaptive Swing Detection Overview The EMA Market Structure indicator provides an advanced framework for visualizing market structure through dynamically filtered trend and swing analysis. Unlike conventional EMA overlays, which merely indicate average price direction, this model integrates trend acceleration, swing highs/lows, and break-of-structure (BOS) logic into a unified, visually intuitive display. Each element adapts in real time to price movement, offering traders a living map of support, resistance, and trend bias that reacts fluidly to market momentum. The result is a comprehensive, trend-aware representation of price structure. EMA slope and acceleration guide trend perception, while swing points identify key inflection zones. Breaks of prior highs or lows are highlighted with visual BOS labels and stop-loss projections, giving traders actionable context for continuation or reversal setups. Unlike static lines or simple moving averages, the EMA Market Structure indicator fuses dynamic trend analysis with structural awareness to provide a clear picture of market bias and potential turning points. Theoretical Foundation The EMA Market Structure builds on principles of momentum filtering and structural analysis. Standard moving averages track average price but ignore acceleration and context; this indicator captures both the directional slope of the EMA and its rate of change, providing a proxy for trend strength. Simultaneously, swing detection identifies statistically significant highs and lows, while BOS logic flags decisive breaks in structure, aligned with trend direction. At its core are three interacting components: EMA Trend & Acceleration : Smooths price data while highlighting acceleration changes, producing gradient-driven color cues for trend momentum. Swing Detection Engine : Identifies swing highs and lows over configurable bar lengths, ensuring key turning points are captured with minimal clutter. Break-of-Structure Logic : Detects price breaches of previous swings and aligns them with EMA trend for actionable BOS signals, including projected stop-loss levels for tactical decision-making. By integrating these elements, the system scales effectively across timeframes and assets, maintaining structural clarity while visualizing trend dynamics in real time. Traders receive both macro and micro perspectives of market movement, with clear cues for trend continuation or reversal. How It Works The EMA Market Structure indicator operates through layered processing stages: EMA Slope & Acceleration : Calculates the EMA and its rate of change, normalizing via ATR and a smoothing function to produce gradient color coding. This allows instant visual identification of bullish or bearish momentum. Swing Identification : Swing highs and lows are computed using configurable left/right bar lengths, filtered through a cool-off mechanism to prevent redundant signals and maintain chart clarity. Structural Lines & Zones : Swing points are connected with lines, and shaded zones are drawn between successive highs/lows to highlight key support and resistance regions. Break-of-Structure Detection : BOS events occur when price breaches a prior swing in alignment with the EMA trend. Bullish and bearish BOS signals include enhanced label effects and projected stop-loss lines and zones, providing immediate tactical reference. Dynamic Background Mapping : The chart background adapts to EMA trend direction, reinforcing trend context with subtle visual cues. Through these processes, the indicator creates a living, adaptive map of market structure that reflects both trend strength and swing-based inflection points. Interpretation The EMA Market Structure reframes market reading from simple trend following to structured awareness of price behavior: Uptrend Phases : EMA is rising with positive acceleration, swings confirm higher lows, and BOS events occur above prior highs, signaling trend continuation. Downtrend Phases : EMA slope is negative, swings form lower highs, and BOS events occur below prior lows, confirming bearish bias. Trend Reversals : Flat or decelerating EMA with BOS failures may indicate impending structural change. Critical Zones : Swing-based lines and shaded zones highlight areas where price may pause, reverse, or accelerate, providing high-probability decision points. Visually, EMA color gradients, structural lines, and BOS labels combine to provide both statistical trend confirmation and actionable structural cues. Strategy Integration EMA Market Structure integrates seamlessly into trend-following and swing-based trading systems: Trend Alignment : Confirm higher-timeframe EMA slope before entering continuation trades. BOS Entry Triggers : Use BOS events aligned with EMA trend for tactical entries and stop placement. Support/Resistance Mapping : Swing lines and zones help define areas for scaling, exits, or reversals. Volatility Context : ATR-based smoothing and stop-loss buffers accommodate varying market volatility, ensuring robustness across conditions. Multi-Timeframe Coordination : Combine higher-timeframe EMA trend and swings with lower-timeframe structural events for precision entries. Technical Implementation Details Core Engine : EMA slope and ATR-normalized acceleration for gradient-driven trend visualization. Swing Framework : Pivot-based high/low detection with configurable bar lengths and cool-off intervals. Structural Visualization : Lines, zones, and labels for high-fidelity mapping of support/resistance and BOS events. BOS Engine : Detects structural breaks aligned with EMA trend, automatically plotting stop-loss lines and visual cues. Performance Profile : Lightweight, optimized for real-time responsiveness across multiple timeframes. Optimal Application Parameters Timeframe Guidance: 1 - 5 min : Ideal for intraday swing spotting and microstructure trend tracking. 15 - 60 min : Medium-range structural analysis and BOS-driven entries. 4H - Daily : Macro trend mapping and key swing-based support/resistance identification. Suggested Configuration: EMA Length : 50 Swing Length : 5 Swing Cooloff : 10 bars BOS Cooloff : 15 bars SL Buffer : 0.1% These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset volatility, liquidity, and preferred entry frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance. Performance Characteristics High Effectiveness: Trending markets with defined swings and structural consistency. Markets where EMA slope and acceleration reliably indicate momentum changes. Reduced Effectiveness: Choppy or sideways markets with minimal swing definition. Random walk assets lacking clear structural anchors. Integration Guidelines Confluence Framework : Combine with volume, momentum, or BOSWaves structural indicators to validate entries. Directional Control: Follow EMA slope and BOS alignment for high-conviction trades. Risk Calibration: Use SL projections for disciplined exposure management. Multi-Timeframe Synergy: Confirm higher-timeframe trend before executing lower-timeframe structural trades. Disclaimer The EMA Market Structure is a professional-grade trend and structure visualization tool. It is not predictive or guaranteed profitable; performance depends on parameter tuning, market regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack integrating trend, liquidity, and structural context.
