Custom Session ORB - Extending Past Current CandleCustom Session ORB - Extending Past Current Candle
This indicator plots Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels for one or two customizable trading sessions directly on your chart. It dynamically tracks the high, low, and midpoint of the defined session(s) and extends these levels beyond the session using a configurable offset.
Features:
Supports two custom sessions.
New York and Asia pre-saved.
Automatically tracks session High, Low, and Mid.
Option to extend ORB levels past the live candle.
Option to display only the most recent ORB for a clean chart.
Configurable line thickness, style, and label size.
Works in Eastern Standard Time (EST) without manual adjustment.
Settings:
Show Labels: Toggle to display ORB values on chart.
Label Font Size: Small, Normal, Large.
Mid Line Style: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
ORB Line Thickness: Set line thickness of ORB levels.
Extend Past Current Candle by N Bars: Controls how far the ORB extends visually.
Show Only Current ORB: Cleans chart by removing previous session ORB levels.
Enable Session 1 / 2: Toggle individual sessions on/off.
Session Time: Set the start and end times for each session (automatically in EST).
How It Works:
The indicator monitors the defined session time, records the high, low, and midpoint, and draws lines at those levels. When the session ends, the lines are extended by the specified offset for easy breakout visualization. Labels can optionally show the exact price levels.

Volatility State Index [Interakktive]The Volatility State Index (VSI) classifies market volatility into three behavioral states: Expansion, Decay, and Transition. It answers one question visually: Is volatility supporting price movement, withdrawing, or unstable?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators that show levels or bands, VSI diagnoses the current volatility regime so traders can adapt their approach accordingly.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Classifies volatility into three states: Expansion (teal), Decay (grey), Transition (amber)
• Measures volatility momentum as a percentage rate-of-change
• Applies stability filtering to detect unstable/choppy conditions
• Uses persistence logic to prevent state flickering
• Exports state data for use in alerts and strategies
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO buy/sell signals
• NO entry/exit recommendations
• NO alerts (v1 is diagnostic only)
• NO performance claims
This is a volatility diagnostic tool, not a trading system.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The VSI processes volatility through a five-stage pipeline:
STAGE 1 — Base Volatility
Calculates ATR as the foundation for volatility measurement.
STAGE 2 — Smoothing
Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise in the volatility series.
STAGE 3 — Volatility Momentum
Computes the percentage rate-of-change of smoothed volatility:
Volatility Momentum (%) = ((Current ATR - Previous ATR) / Previous ATR) × 100
Positive values indicate expanding volatility; negative values indicate contracting volatility.
STAGE 4 — Stability Filter
Tracks how frequently volatility momentum changes direction. Frequent sign changes indicate unstable, choppy conditions.
Stability Score = 1 - (Average Flip Rate)
Low stability forces the Transition state regardless of momentum level.
STAGE 5 — State Classification
Combines momentum thresholds and stability to determine the final state:
• Expansion: Momentum ≥ +5% (default threshold)
• Decay: Momentum ≤ -5% (default threshold)
• Transition: Between thresholds OR low stability
A persistence filter requires states to hold for multiple bars before confirming, preventing visual noise.
█ INTERPRETATION
EXPANSION (Teal)
Volatility is increasing in a sustained way. Price moves are becoming larger.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to follow through
• Stops may need wider placement
• Trend-following approaches tend to work better
• Mean-reversion weakens
DECAY (Grey)
Volatility is decreasing. Price is compressing into tighter ranges.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to fail
• Ranges tend to hold
• Trend-following underperforms
• Mean-reversion strengthens
TRANSITION (Amber)
Volatility behavior is unclear or unstable. This is NOT neutral — it is uncertainty.
What it suggests:
• Mixed signals — one bar huge, next bar dead
• Higher whipsaw risk
• Reduced conviction in either direction
• Consider waiting for clarity
The key insight: Amber is a warning, not a middle ground. It appears when volatility cannot decide what it wants to do.
█ VISUAL DESIGN
The indicator uses a state-first histogram design:
• Histogram height shows volatility momentum percentage
• Histogram color shows the classified state
• Zero line provides visual anchor
• Optional momentum line for confirmation
• Optional background tint (default OFF for clean charts)
The visual hierarchy prioritizes instant state recognition. A trader should understand the volatility environment in under one second without reading numbers.
█ INPUTS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Base volatility measurement period (default: 14)
• Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing applied to ATR (default: 10)
• Momentum Length: Rate-of-change lookback (default: 10)
State Classification
• Expansion Threshold (%): Momentum above this = Expansion (default: 5.0)
• Decay Threshold (%): Momentum below this = Decay (default: -5.0)
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change (default: 3)
• Stability Lookback: Window for stability calculation (default: 20)
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition (default: 0.5)
Visual Settings
• Show State Histogram: Toggle main display (default: ON)
• Show Momentum Line: Thin confirmation line (default: OFF)
• Show Zero Line: Baseline reference (default: ON)
• Show Background Tint: Subtle state coloring (default: OFF)
█ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS
When enabled, the following values are exported:
• ATR (Raw)
• ATR (Smoothed)
• Volatility Momentum (%)
• Stability Score (0-1)
• State (-1/0/1): Decay = -1, Transition = 0, Expansion = 1
• Is Expansion (0/1)
• Is Decay (0/1)
• Is Transition (0/1)
These exports allow VSI to be used as a filter in Pine Script strategies or alert conditions.
█ ORIGINALITY
While ATR and volatility indicators are common, VSI is original because it:
1. Classifies volatility into behavioral states rather than showing raw levels
2. Applies momentum analysis to volatility itself (rate-of-change of ATR)
3. Uses stability filtering to detect genuinely unstable conditions
4. Implements persistence logic to prevent state flickering
5. Provides a state-first visual design optimized for instant recognition
VSI is state-first: it classifies volatility regimes (Expansion/Decay/Transition) rather than plotting volatility level alone, using momentum and stability to reduce false regime reads.
This is not a modified ATR or Bollinger Band — it is a volatility regime classifier.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto
Timeframes: All timeframes — state classification adapts accordingly
Best on: Instruments with consistent volatility patterns

Precision Trendlines - Relevant Current TFPrecision Structural Trendlines (Current TF)
Overview
The Precision Structural Trendlines indicator is a high-performance price action tool designed for traders who rely on market structure and trend convergence. Unlike standard trendline scripts that clutter the chart with every possible connection, this indicator strictly follows professional structural rules—connecting Lower Highs for resistance and Higher Lows for support.
Key Features
Structural Integrity: The engine ensures that resistance lines are only drawn during bearish sequences (Lower Highs) and support lines during bullish sequences (Higher Lows), aligning with core Price Action principles.
Dynamic Relevance Filter: Solve the "web of lines" problem. By default, the script only shows trendlines that are currently relevant to price. As price moves away from old trends, they fade out, keeping your workspace clean.
Zero Drift Synchronization: Built using absolute time-anchoring (xloc.bar_time), ensuring that trendlines stay perfectly "glued" to the candle wicks regardless of how much you scroll or zoom.
Customizable Aesthetics: Choose between Random Dark Colors to easily distinguish overlapping trends or a Static Color for a unified look. Global width controls allow for instant visibility adjustments.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: Use the Minimum Points setting. Set it to 2 for aggressive, early trend detection, or 3 to only see lines that have been validated by multiple touches.
Major vs. Minor Swings: Adjust the Pivot Strength. A value of 30 (default) captures significant intraday turns, while 20+ is ideal for identifying major swing structure.
Relevance Buffer: Tune the Price Buffer % to determine how close price must be to a historical trendline before it reappears on your chart.
Settings Breakdown
Minimum Points: Number of pivot points required to anchor a line.
Pivot Strength: The "look-left/look-right" requirement to confirm a peak or valley.
Validation Tolerance: The vertical buffer allowed for a 3rd point to "hit" the trendline.
Show Relevant Only: Toggles the visibility filter (highly recommended for high-volume traders).
Liquidity ZonesLiquidity Zones
Liquidity Zones is a price-action–based indicator designed to identify high-probability support and resistance areas where liquidity has historically accumulated.
Instead of drawing single lines, the script builds dynamic price zones based on repeated pivot reactions validated by volume, helping traders focus on meaningful levels rather than noise.
How It Works
Pivot Detection
The indicator scans historical price data for pivot highs and pivot lows using a fixed pivot strength.
Each pivot represents a potential liquidity interaction point.
Volume Qualification
A pivot is only considered valid if the volume at the pivot bar exceeds:
Volume SMA × Sensitivity
This filters out weak or low-participation levels and keeps zones formed during strong market interest.
Zone Construction
Nearby pivots are grouped into a single zone if their price difference stays within an ATR-based threshold.
Each time price reacts within this threshold, the zone’s touch count increases.
Once the minimum number of touches is reached, a liquidity zone is drawn and extended to the right.
Adaptive Zone Expansion
As new qualifying pivots appear, zones automatically expand to reflect the true liquidity range instead of staying static.
Dynamic Zone Coloring
Zones update their color in real time based on price position:
Green (Support) → Price is above the zone
Red (Resistance) → Price is below the zone
Gray (In-Zone) → Price is trading inside the zone
This allows instant visual feedback on whether a level is acting as support, resistance, or an active liquidity area.
Settings Overview
Bars to Apply
Controls how much historical data is scanned for liquidity zones.
Volume Sensitivity
Higher values require stronger volume spikes to validate pivots, resulting in fewer but higher-quality zones.
Styling Options
Fully customizable colors and transparency for support, resistance, and in-zone states.
Best Use Cases
Identifying high-liquidity support and resistance zones
Planning entries, exits, and stop placement
Combining with trend-following or momentum indicators
Filtering out weak levels in sideways or choppy markets
Market Efficiency DashboardDescription
This indicator is an analytical tool designed to visualize the relationship between price action and market efficiency. Based on the Choppiness Index (CI), this indicator identifies whether the market is in a state of Range Contraction (Consolidation) or Range Expansion (Trending) . This implementation introduces a unique 50-pivot baseline to better differentiate between these two market characters, providing traders with an objective view of volatility cycles.
Key Features
Volatility Cycle Logic: A refined implementation of the Choppiness Index that assists in filtering market noise during low-volatility periods.
Pivot-50 Visualization: A custom geometric layout that separates range contraction from trend expansion for faster visual interpretation.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Data Handling: Enables the monitoring of higher-timeframe efficiency cycles without switching charts.
Trend Context Filter: Integrates a 200-period EMA to provide a directional baseline relative to the current market state.
Real-Time Status Dashboard: A real-time data table providing a summary of current market efficiency and trend bias.
Signal Refinement: Includes optional smoothing (EMA/SMA/WMA) to reduce calculation "jitter" and provide clearer structural signals.
Inputs Overview
Choppiness Length: Sets the lookback period for the efficiency calculation (Default: 14).
Calculation Timeframe: Allows the user to select the source timeframe for the index data.
Smoothing Method: Users can choose between multiple moving average types to filter the raw index output.
Threshold Levels: Customizable Fibonacci-based levels (61.8 and 38.2) used to define the boundaries of "Choppy" and "Trending" environments.
EMA Filter: Toggle for the 200-period Exponential Moving Average used for directional bias.
How to Use
Context Identification: Observe the histogram’s position relative to the 50-pivot. Bars expanding upward toward the 61.8 level indicate the market is coiling/congested.
Trend Confirmation: Bars expanding downward toward the 38.2 level indicate the market is moving efficiently in a specific direction.
Bias Alignment: When the Trend Bias is Bullish and the state is Trending, price discovery is likely occurring to the upside. Conversely, a Bearish bias in a Trending state suggests efficient movement to the downside.
Risk Management: Rising choppiness levels often precede a period of trend exhaustion or reversal, signaling a potential time to reduce exposure.
How it Helps
This tool is designed to assist in objective decision-making by identifying the current "market character." By distinguishing between trending and non-trending environments, it helps traders select the appropriate strategy for the current context—avoiding trend-following entries during sideways markets and identifying when a market has entered a period of price expansion.
Alerts
Trend Starting: Triggers when the index crosses below the lower threshold, suggesting a transition into an efficient trend.
Squeeze/Consolidation: Notifies the user when the index crosses above the upper threshold, indicating range contraction.
Midpoint Cross: Signals when the index crosses the 50-level, marking a shift in market momentum.

Markov: Transition Matrix [Daily Timeframe]Description
This indicator computes a 3-state Markov chain from price action and visualizes the transition probabilities between daily states:
• Up: daily % change > threshold
• Down: daily % change < -threshold
• Sideways: |daily % change| ≤ threshold
From those states, it builds transition matrices:
• Today → Tomorrow (1 day ahead)
• Today → In 2 days
• Today → In 3 days
Each matrix cell shows:
P(next state | current state)
Rows are the current state (today), columns are the future state (tomorrow / +2 / +3).
Each row sums to 100% (when there is sufficient sample size).
________________________________________
How to read it (trader workflow)
1. Identify the current regime (the most recent confirmed daily state).
2. Look at the row matching that regime:
• The ★ marks the highest probability outcome for that row (most likely next state).
• Heatmap intensity increases as probability increases.
• Each row shows its own sample size (n=...) so you can judge statistical support.
3. Use Quick-read:
• “Now” = current regime
• “Best” = top conditional outcome + probability
• “2nd” = second-best outcome + probability
4. Use Universe (N):
• Shows the marginal distribution: how often days are Up/Down/Sideways across the whole dataset.
________________________________________
Settings
Core logic
• Sideways threshold: controls how strict “Sideways” is.
Example: 0.001 = ±0.10% daily move is considered Sideways.
Display
• Toggle 1D / 2D / 3D matrices.
• Highlight best probability per row (★).
• Show n per row (row transition count).
• Focus: current state row only to reduce noise and speed decision-making.
• Quick-read row for the current regime.
Theme (fully customizable)
All colors can be customized:
• Up / Down / Sideways base colors
• Header background + header text
• Values text
• Quick-read neutral background
This makes it suitable for both light and dark chart themes.
________________________________________
Notes / Limitations
• The indicator is designed for daily sessions. It uses daily close-to-close returns to classify states and update the Markov chain once per day.
• On very volatile assets, a very small threshold can make Sideways rare. If you want a more frequent Sideways regime, increase the threshold.
• This is a statistical visualization tool, not a trading system.

Liquidity Void and Repair EngineLiquidity Void & Repair Engine
OVERVIEW
The Liquidity Void & Repair Engine is a high-fidelity institutional order flow tool designed to identify and track "Market Imbalances" or "Fair Value Gaps" (FVG). Unlike standard gap indicators that clutter the chart with every minor price jump, this engine uses Volatility-Adjusted Range Mapping to isolate high-conviction voids where price moved so rapidly that liquidity was left "unfilled."
The standout feature of this tool is its Active Repair Logic. The engine doesn't just draw static boxes; it monitors price action in real-time to determine when an imbalance has been "healed" by subsequent trading volume, providing a dynamic look at where the market has "unfinished business."
TECHNICAL LOGIC & ORIGINALITY
This script is published Open Source to contribute to the Pine Script community’s understanding of dynamic object management and order flow visualization.
ATR-Relative Filtering: To ensure only significant voids are plotted, the script uses a user-defined ATR (Average True Range) multiplier. This filters out market noise and focuses on institutional "impulse" moves.
Dynamic Box Management: Utilizing the Pine Script box array system, the script manages memory efficiently by updating existing objects rather than creating redundant ones.
The "Repair" Algorithm: The script tracks the high and low of every active void. When price action fully traverses the coordinates of a void, the script "seals" the box, visually marking the moment of liquidity equilibrium.
HOW TO USE
1. Identifying the "Magnet" (The Void)
When price moves aggressively, it leaves a "hole" in the auction.
Bullish Voids (Green): These represent areas where price surged so fast that buyers may still have unfilled orders sitting below. These act as Magnets for pullbacks.
Bearish Voids (Red): These represent areas where price plummeted, leaving a vacuum of selling pressure. These act as Magnets for relief rallies.
2. Trading the "Repair" Process
The Engine tracks how the market "repairs" these holes:
Partial Fill: If price enters a box but doesn't cross it, the "Magnet" is still active.
Full Repair: When a box is "sealed" (stops extending right), it indicates the imbalance is gone. If price "Seals" a green box and then bounces, it confirms the zone as Valid Institutional Support.
3. Confluence with the Trend
Continuation: In a strong uptrend, look for price to drop into a Green Bullish Void and find support. This is often the "Golden Entry" for trend followers.
Reversal Confirmation: If price ignores a Red Bearish Void and blasts right through it (sealing it instantly), it signals a massive shift in market regime and extreme bullish conviction.
USER SETTINGS
Lookback Period: How far back the engine searches for un-repaired gaps.
Min Gap Size (ATR %): Increase this to see only the "Major" institutional gaps; decrease it for a more granular intraday look.
Visual Styles: Fully customizable colors and transparency to match any chart theme (Dark/Light).
NOTES & DISCLAIMER

AperonFx Pivot Points 1.1This indicator plots ATR-based pivot levels with a clean, institutional layout.
The central pivot (P) is calculated from the selected timeframe and price formula, while support and resistance levels are placed at equal distance steps above and below the pivot.
Users can choose between an automatic step based on ATR or a fixed price step for fully controlled, symmetric levels.
All levels are drawn as continuous segments that align precisely with the active pivot period.
Price annotations are displayed in a minimal, unobtrusive style and always match the exact level values.
The indicator is designed to remain consistent across chart timeframes without recalculation drift.
It is intended for traders who want clear, structured reference levels rather than reactive signals.
3MA Alignment Ribbon [AlgoTraderPro]3MA Alignment Ribbon is a clean, visual trend-structure indicator based on the alignment of three moving averages.
Instead of focusing on crossovers, it highlights trend quality and direction by dynamically coloring the moving averages and the ribbon between them.
The goal is simple : See at a glance whether the market structure is bullish, bearish, or neutral.
⸻
How It Works
The indicator plots three moving averages (Fast, Medium, Slow) and evaluates their alignment:
Bullish → Fast > Medium > Slow
Bearish → Fast < Medium < Slow
Neutral → Any other configuration
The moving averages and the filled ribbon between them are automatically colored based on this alignment, making trend conditions immediately visible.
⸻
Key Features
✅Multi-MA Support
Choose between:
EMA (default)
SMA
WMA
VWMA
RMA
HMA
✅ Alignment Modes
Strict: classic Fast > Medium > Slow logic
Tolerant: requires a minimum percentage separation between averages to reduce noise in ranging markets
✅ Optional Slope Filter
Filter signals by requiring the slow MA to be rising or falling, helping avoid false trend states during flat conditions.
✅ Higher Timeframe (HTF) Ribbon
Overlay the same 3MA alignment logic from a higher timeframe on your current chart:
Fully optional
Correctly calculated on the HTF itself
Option to use confirmed HTF bars only (reduces repaint confusion)
✅ Alerts & Visual Signals
Alerts when alignment turns Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral
Optional on-chart markers when the alignment flips
✅ Custom Styling
Fully customizable colors and transparency
Designed to remain readable without cluttering the chart
⸻
How to Use It
This indicator works best as:
A trend filter for discretionary trading
A context tool for entries using other setups
A market structure overlay for scalping, swing trading, or position trading
It does not generate buy/sell signals by itself — instead, it helps you trade aligned with market structure.
⸻
Default Settings
The default lengths (50 / 100 / 200 EMA) are suitable for most markets and timeframes, including crypto, forex, indices, and equities.
Candle Strength Analyzer by The Ultimate Bull Run# Candle Strength Analyzer
## 📊 Complete Beginner's Guide
---
### 🎯 What This Indicator Does
The **Candle Strength Analyzer** measures how "strong" or "weak" each candlestick is and displays a **score from 0 to 100** above or below every candle.
- **Green numbers** = Bullish (price went UP)
- **Red numbers** = Bearish (price went DOWN)
- **Gray numbers** = Doji (price barely moved)
**Higher score = Stronger candle = More reliable signal**
---
### 🕯️ Understanding Candlesticks (The Basics)
If you're new to trading, here's what a candlestick shows:
```
│ ← Upper Wick (prices that were rejected)
│
┌───┐
│ │ ← Body (the "real" price movement)
│ │ • Green/White body = Price went UP (Bullish)
│ │ • Red/Black body = Price went DOWN (Bearish)
└───┘
│
│ ← Lower Wick (prices that were rejected)
```
**Key Terms:**
- **Open**: The price when the candle started
- **Close**: The price when the candle ended
- **High**: The highest price during the candle
- **Low**: The lowest price during the candle
- **Body**: The rectangle between Open and Close
- **Wick/Shadow**: The thin lines above and below the body
---
## 📐 The 4 Components of Candle Strength
This indicator combines **4 measurements** to calculate the final strength score. Let's understand each one:
---
### 1️⃣ Body Ratio (30% of score)
**What it is:**
The percentage of the candle that is "body" versus "wicks."
**Formula:**
```
Body Ratio = Size of Body ÷ Total Candle Size × 100
```
**What it tells you:**
- **High Body Ratio (70-100%)**: Bulls or bears were in FULL control. The price moved in one direction and STAYED there. This is strong.
- **Low Body Ratio (0-30%)**: There was a fight. Price moved up AND down but ended up roughly where it started. This is weak/indecisive.
**Visual Example:**
```
Strong Candle (90% body): Weak Candle (20% body):
│ │
┌───┐ │
│ │ ┌─┴─┐
│ │ ← Mostly body │ │ ← Tiny body
│ │ └─┬─┘
└───┘ │
│ │
```
**How to interpret:**
| Body Ratio | Meaning |
|------------|---------|
| 90-100% | **Marubozu** - Extremely strong, full commitment |
| 70-90% | **Strong** - Clear winner (bulls or bears) |
| 40-70% | **Normal** - Typical market activity |
| 10-40% | **Weak** - Significant indecision |
| 0-10% | **Doji** - Complete indecision, no winner |
---
### 2️⃣ Close Position Score (25% of score)
**What it is:**
WHERE the candle closed within its range (high to low).
**What it tells you:**
- For a **bullish (green) candle**: Closing near the HIGH means buyers were still eager at the end = STRONG
- For a **bearish (red) candle**: Closing near the LOW means sellers were still eager at the end = STRONG
**Visual Example:**
```
Strong Bullish: Weak Bullish:
(closes near high) (closes near middle)
┌───┐ ← Close here │
│ │ ┌─┴─┐ ← Close here
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │
└───┘ └───┘
│ │
```
**Why it matters:**
If price went UP but then sellers pushed it back down before the candle closed, that's a sign of weakness. The bulls couldn't hold their ground.
**How to interpret:**
| Close Position | For Bullish Candle | For Bearish Candle |
|----------------|-------------------|-------------------|
| 80-100% | Strong (near high) | Weak (near high) |
| 50-80% | Moderate | Moderate |
| 20-50% | Weak | Moderate |
| 0-20% | Very Weak (near low) | Strong (near low) |
---
### 3️⃣ Relative Volume - RVOL (25% of score)
**What is Volume?**
Volume is the NUMBER of shares/contracts traded during that candle. Think of it as "how many people participated."
**What is RVOL?**
RVOL compares TODAY'S volume to the AVERAGE volume.
**Formula:**
```
RVOL = Current Volume ÷ Average Volume (last 20 candles)
```
**What it tells you:**
- **RVOL = 1.0**: Normal activity (same as average)
- **RVOL = 2.0**: DOUBLE the normal activity (2x more traders involved)
- **RVOL = 0.5**: HALF the normal activity (fewer traders involved)
**Why it matters:**
A big price move with LOW volume is suspicious - it might not last.
A big price move with HIGH volume is confirmed - many traders agree.
**Think of it like voting:**
- High volume = Many people voted for this direction
- Low volume = Only a few people voted, decision might change
**How to interpret:**
| RVOL | Meaning | Signal Quality |
|------|---------|----------------|
| 2.0+ | Very High - Institutional activity likely | ⭐⭐⭐ Excellent |
| 1.5-2.0 | High - Significant interest | ⭐⭐ Good |
| 1.0-1.5 | Above Average | ⭐ Acceptable |
| 0.7-1.0 | Below Average | ⚠️ Caution |
| < 0.7 | Low - Lack of interest | ❌ Unreliable |
---
### 4️⃣ Size vs ATR (20% of score)
**What is ATR?**
ATR stands for "Average True Range." It measures how much the price TYPICALLY moves.
**What this component measures:**
How big is THIS candle compared to how big candles USUALLY are?
**Formula:**
```
ATR Ratio = This Candle's Size ÷ Average Candle Size (ATR)
```
**What it tells you:**
- **ATR Ratio = 2.0**: This candle is TWICE as big as normal = Significant move
- **ATR Ratio = 1.0**: This candle is normal sized
- **ATR Ratio = 0.5**: This candle is HALF the normal size = Minor move
**Why it matters:**
A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 100 points is small.
A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 20 points is HUGE.
Context matters!
**How to interpret:**
| ATR Ratio | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| 2.0+ | **Expansion** - Unusually large move, potential breakout |
| 1.5-2.0 | **Large** - Significant momentum |
| 1.0-1.5 | **Above Average** - Notable move |
| 0.5-1.0 | **Normal** - Typical movement |
| < 0.5 | **Small** - Insignificant, might be noise |
---
## 🧮 How the Final Score is Calculated
The indicator combines all 4 components with these weights:
```
Final Score = (Body Ratio × 30%) +
(Close Position × 25%) +
(RVOL Score × 25%) +
(Size Score × 20%)
```
**Result: A score from 0 to 100**
---
## 📊 Understanding the Strength Score
| Score | Classification | What It Means | Should You Trade It? |
|-------|---------------|---------------|---------------------|
| **70-100** | 🟢 STRONG | High conviction move, reliable signal | ✅ Yes - Good setup |
| **40-70** | 🟡 MODERATE | Average move, needs confirmation | ⚠️ Maybe - Add other indicators |
| **0-40** | 🔴 WEAK | Low conviction, unreliable | ❌ No - Wait for better setup |
---
## 🏷️ Special Pattern Markers
The indicator also detects special candlestick patterns:
### ⚡ Power Candle
**Requirements:**
- Body Ratio > 70% (strong body)
- RVOL > 1.5 (high volume)
- Close Position > 80% (closes near the extreme)
**What it means:** The BEST possible signal. Everything aligns perfectly.
### Ⓜ️ Marubozu
**Requirements:**
- Body Ratio > 90% (almost no wicks)
**What it means:** Complete dominance by bulls or bears. Very strong continuation signal.
### ◆ High Volume Doji
**Requirements:**
- Doji candle (tiny body)
- High volume
**What it means:** Many traders are fighting, but no one won. Often signals a REVERSAL is coming.

BTC - AXIS: Coppock + Williams %R CompositeTitle: BTC - AXIS: Coppock + Williams %R Composite | RM
Overview & Philosophy
AXIS (Advanced X-Momentum Intensity Score) is a specialized momentum composite designed to identify market structural shifts. In physics, an axis is the central line around which a body rotates; in this indicator, the Zero-Baseline acts as the AXIS for capital flow.
By fusing a slow-moving momentum engine ( Coppock Curve ) with a high-sensitivity tactical oscillator ( Williams %R ), this tool filters out the "market noise" that leads to overtrading and focuses on the high-conviction "Trend-Aligned Dips."
Methodology
Most indicators either suffer from too much lag (Moving Averages) or too much noise (Standard RSI). AXIS solves this through "Speed-Balanced Normalization."
1. Macro Engine (Coppock Curve): Named after Edwin Coppock, this component identifies major market bottoms by smoothing two separate Rates of Change (RoC). It is your structural compass.
2. Tactical Trigger (Williams %R): Created by Larry Williams, this measures the current close relative to the High-Low range.
• Re-centered Logic: Standard Williams %R oscillates between 0 and -100. Here, this is re-centered to oscillate around zero, ensuring it interacts mathematically correctly with the Coppock baseline.
3. The AXIS Score: The Composite line (Orange) is the weighted sum of these two engines. It provides a singular view of the market's "Net Momentum Intensity."
How to Read the Chart
🟧 The AXIS Composite (Orange Line): The primary signal line. It tracks the speed and exhaustion of the price by fusing macro and tactical data.
• Red Zone (> 150): Overheated. Short and long-term momentum are at extreme highs. Risk of a blow-off top or local reversal is high.
• Green Zone (< -150): Capitulation. The market is statistically exhausted. Historically, these zones represent high-conviction accumulation areas.
• Bullish Momentum (> 0): The market is rotating above the central Axis. Buyers are in control of the trend.
• Bearish Momentum (< 0): The market is rotating below the central Axis. Sellers are in control of the trend.
🟦 The Coppock Line (Blue): The macro filter. When Blue is above 0, the long-term trend is up.
🟥 The Williams %R Line (Red): The short-term cycles. Watch for divergences here to spot early trend fatigue.
Strategy: The "AXIS Alignment" Signal
The highest-conviction entry point—and the primary "Alpha" of this tool—occurs when:
The macro trend is Bullish ( Blue Line > 0 ).
The market experiences a correction, pushing the Orange (AXIS) Line into the Green Capitulation Zone.
The AXIS Score turns back upward.
This indicates that a short-term panic has been absorbed by a long-term bull trend—the ideal "Buy the Dip" scenario.
Settings
• Long/Short RoC: Standardized to 14/11 for cycle accuracy.
• Weighting: Allows you to prioritize trend (Coppock) or cycle sensitivity (%R).
• Visibility Toggles: Fully customizable display switches for each line.
Credits
• Edwin Coppock: For the foundation of long-term recovery momentum.
• Larry Williams: For the Percent Range methodology.
⚠️ Note: This indicator is optimized for the Daily (1D) Timeframe. Please switch your chart to 1D for accurate signal reading.

Rainbow Road [kingthies]Rainbow Road
Rainbow Road is a trend-structure and momentum visualization tool built around a cascading chain of smoothed simple moving averages. Instead of plotting independent moving averages on price, each line is progressively smoothed from the prior one using the same length, creating a layered “road” that reveals trend strength, direction, and transition with exceptional clarity.
OVERVIEW
Rainbow Road visualizes trend quality using a spectrum of fast-to-slow moving averages derived from one another. Because each average is smoothed from the prior line, the indicator forms a continuous structure rather than a collection of unrelated signals. This makes trend alignment, momentum expansion, and compression immediately visible.
HOW IT WORKS
The first average is a Simple Moving Average of price
Each subsequent average is an SMA of the previous average using the same length
This creates a cascading chain of averages with increasing smoothness
Colors progress from red (fastest) to purple (slowest) to represent trend hierarchy
HOW TO READ IT
Strong Trend : All averages are aligned and expanding in the same direction
Acceleration : Spacing between averages increases
Deceleration : Spacing narrows while direction remains intact
Consolidation : Averages converge and overlap
Reversal Risk : Faster averages cross back through the slowest average
TREND CONTEXT
The optional fill between the fastest and slowest averages visualizes overall trend pressure. Expanding fill suggests strengthening momentum, while contracting fill highlights compression and potential regime change.
USE CASES
Trend confirmation and directional bias
Momentum expansion vs compression analysis
Identifying trend exhaustion and early reversal zones
Contextual filtering for entries and exits
WHY RAINBOW ROAD
Traditional moving average stacks often produce clutter and redundant signals. Rainbow Road focuses on structure and flow, helping traders evaluate the quality of a trend rather than reacting to individual crossovers.
BEST USED WITH
Price action and market structure
Support and resistance
Volatility or range-based tools
Higher-timeframe trend bias
Rainbow Road is designed to sit quietly on your chart and clearly communicate whether the market is flowing, stalling, or preparing to turn.
SMH_DualMomentum (ROC + Volume Trend)SMH Dual Momentum (ROC + Volume Confirmation)
This indicator identifies high-quality bullish trends by combining price momentum (Rate of Change) with volume confirmation, and exits when momentum structurally fails.
Core Logic
BUY signal
Rate of Change (ROC) over N periods is above a positive threshold (strong upside momentum)
Current volume is above its moving average (rising market participation)
SELL signal
ROC crosses below zero, indicating loss of bullish momentum
Why It Works
ROC measures the speed and strength of price movement, filtering out weak or drifting trends
Volume confirmation ensures momentum is supported by real capital flow, reducing false breakouts
Momentum-based exit avoids prolonged drawdowns and capital stagnation
Key Advantages
Focuses on trend continuation, not prediction
Filters out low-quality price moves and range-bound markets
Captures long, high-conviction trends with relatively few trades
Simple, robust rules using only price and volume
Best Use Cases
Designed for trend-driven ETFs such as SMH (Semiconductors)
Suitable for swing to position trading on daily charts
Works best in markets with strong sector rotation and institutional participation
Notes
This is a trend-following momentum tool, not a mean-reversion indicator
No stop-loss is built in; risk management should be handled externally if required
Parameters can be adjusted to match different timeframes or assets
Market Pressure Regime [Interakktive]The Market Pressure Regime (MPR) is a 4-state market classifier that models how structural forces create "pressure zones" — regions where price movement is either supported (Release) or suppressed (Pinned) by market microstructure.
It combines compression analysis, follow-through efficiency, and stress detection into a composite pressure score, classifying markets into Release, Suppressed, Transition, or Trap states — helping traders understand WHY price is moving (or not moving) in the current environment.
█ USAGE
MPR addresses a core question traders face: Is the market in a regime where directional moves are likely to follow through, or is it structurally pinned?
For swing traders, MPR identifies Release phases where momentum strategies work best, and Suppressed phases where mean reversion dominates.
For day traders, it highlights Trap conditions — high effort with no follow-through — where reversals are probable and trend entries fail.
🔹 The 4-State Model
The indicator classifies markets into four distinct regimes:
• Release (Teal): Pressure score ≥ +5. Directional flow dominates. Price moves efficiently with follow-through. Favor trend continuation.
• Suppressed (Grey): Pressure score ≤ -5. Compression dominates. Price is range-bound or pinned. Fade extremes, expect reversion.
• Transition (Amber): Score between thresholds OR instability detected. Regime is uncertain — wait for confirmation before committing.
• Trap (Magenta): High stress + low follow-through. Effort without result. Expect reversals.
🔹 Reading the Pressure Histogram
The histogram displays the composite Pressure Score (range approximately -100 to +100):
• Positive values: Follow-through exceeds compression. Market is "releasing" — directional moves are supported.
• Negative values: Compression exceeds follow-through. Market is "suppressed" — price movement is constrained.
• Color reflects confirmed state: The histogram uses persistence filtering — a state must hold for N bars before the color changes, preventing false signals from noise.
🔹 The 5-Stage Calculation
MPR synthesizes five analytical stages into the final state:
1. Compression Score: Measures how tight the current range is relative to ATR. High compression suggests structural forces are pinning price.
2. Follow-Through Score: Measures price path efficiency (MER-style). Efficient moves indicate genuine directional flow, not chop.
3. Stress Score: Detects effort-without-result (ERD-style). High volume or range with no price progress = absorption.
4. Composite Pressure: Combines follow-through and compression into a single directional score.
5. Persistence Filter: Requires states to hold for configurable bars before confirming, eliminating flickering.
█ SETTINGS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Period for volatility normalization. Default 14.
• Baseline Lookback: Period for compression and efficiency baselines. Default 20.
• Volume Average Length: Period for stress calculation baseline. Default 20.
State Classification
• Release Threshold: Pressure score above this = Release. Default +5.
• Suppressed Threshold: Pressure score below this = Suppressed. Default -5.
• Trap Threshold: Stress score above this (with low follow-through) = Trap. Default 30.
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change. Default 3.
• Stability Lookback: Period for stability calculation. Default 20.
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition state. Default 0.5.
Visual Settings
• Show Pressure Histogram: Display the main pressure score histogram.
• Show Zero Line: Display the zero reference line.
• Show Background Tint: Subtle background color by state (default OFF).
Data Window
• Show Data Window Values: Export all calculated scores for analysis.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
When to Use Trend Strategies (Release):
• Histogram tall and positive
• Teal coloring confirmed
• Price making efficient higher highs or lower lows
When to Use Mean Reversion (Suppressed):
• Histogram flat or negative
• Grey coloring confirmed
• Price oscillating without follow-through
When to Wait (Transition):
• Amber coloring
• Mixed signals — don't force trades
• Wait for state to resolve
When to Expect Reversals (Trap):
• Magenta coloring
• High volume moves that don't stick
• Often occurs at structural inflection points
█ COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS
MPR pairs well with:
• Volatility State Index (VSI) — Confirms whether volatility is expanding into the pressure regime
• Effort-Result Divergence (ERD) — Provides bar-by-bar absorption/vacuum detection
• Market Efficiency Ratio (MER) — Validates follow-through quality
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works across all liquid markets:
• Equities: SPY, QQQ, liquid single stocks
• Futures: ES, NQ, CL, GC
• Crypto: BTC, ETH
• Forex: Major pairs
Works on any timeframe, but 1H–Daily provides cleanest regime classification. Intraday (5m–15m) useful for session-level tactical decisions.

Seasonality Table: % Move by Day x Month (Open vs Prev Close)Short description
A compact seasonality heatmap that shows the average daily open vs previous session close move for each calendar day (1–31) across months (Jan–Dec).
What it does
This indicator builds a Day × Month table where each cell displays the historical average of:
(Open/Close-1) -1 x 100
In other words: how the market typically “opened” relative to the prior day’s close, grouped by day of month and month.
How to read it
Rows = Day of month (1–31)
Columns = Months (Jan–Dec)
Cell value = average percentage move (signed format like +0.23% or -0.33%)
Heatmap = stronger color intensity indicates larger absolute average moves
Today highlight = the current calendar day cell is visually highlighted for fast context
Key settings
Reference timeframe (Daily): uses daily session data as the source of truth
Decimals / Signed formatting: control numeric display
Theme controls: fully customizable colors for positive/negative/neutral cells, headers, labels, and text
Font sizes: independently adjust header/labels/values
Heatmap scaling: set “max abs (%)” to match the volatility of the instrument
Notes / limitations
The indicator depends on the historical data available on TradingView for the selected
symbol and timeframe.
This is a statistical visualization tool. It does not predict future returns and does not generate trade signals.

Time & Price Confirmation (TPC)This one i am in the midst of trying to make better but for now its actually making money.
Core Concept:
Uses SuperTrend on two timeframes: Higher Timeframe (HTF) for trend direction and Lower Timeframe (LTF) for entry timing
Only signals trades when BOTH timeframes align
Key Components:
HTF Time (Higher Timeframe) - Checks if the main trend is strong:
🟢 Healthy = Strong trend, good momentum
🟠 Slowing = Trend weakening but still valid
🔴 Tired = Trend exhausted, avoid trading
LTF Confirm (Lower Timeframe) - Waits for price confirmation via:
SuperTrend flip (trend reversal)
Displacement candle (large range breakout)
Strong momentum move
Action Signals:
🚀 ENTER = Both HTF healthy + LTF confirmed (best setup)
⏳ HOLD = HTF still good but waiting for LTF confirmation
⏹️ NO TRADE = HTF tired or conditions not met
Pivot point moving averagesPivot Point Moving Averages builds moving averages from confirmed pivots, not from every bar.
Instead of averaging all highs and lows, this script:
Detects swing pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable Pivot length (pivotLen).
Converts these sparse pivot prices into continuous series of:
last confirmed pivot low
last confirmed pivot high
Applies a user-selectable moving average (SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / VWMA) to each of those pivot series.
Plots the two resulting lines and shades the area between them as a pivot value cloud.
Because the lines only move when a new pivot is confirmed, they represent structural acceptance rather than raw volatility. Short “noise” moves and stop hunts between pivots have much less impact on these averages.
You can also enable an optional second pivot MA cloud:
Uses the same Pivot length for structural detection.
Has its own MA length and type.
Can run on a different timeframe (e.g. D, 240, W).
Is projected back onto the current chart so you see local pivot value and higher-timeframe pivot value together.
Why it’s useful
Traditional MAs:
React to every bar.
Move on noise, wicks, and stop runs.
Don’t distinguish between “meaningful” structure and random fluctuation.
This tool uses confirmed pivots, so it is better suited to market structure and phase analysis:
Pivot MA low reflects how demand is stepping up (or down) as new swing lows form.
Pivot MA high reflects how supply is pressing down (or easing) as new swing highs form.
The cloud between them acts as a dynamic, structure-based value area.
Typical interpretations:
Price inside the pivot cloud → balance / fair value area.
Price above the pivot cloud → bullish value expansion.
Price below the pivot cloud → bearish value expansion.
Cloud compressing → possible energy build-up, transition between phases.
Cloud expanding → stronger directional conviction.
With the second cloud enabled on a higher timeframe, you can:
See whether lower-timeframe structure is building with or against the higher-timeframe pivot value.
Use the HTF cloud as a background bias and the LTF cloud for timing and fine-grained context.
Notes
All pivot-based tools have inherent delay: a pivot is only confirmed after pivotLen bars to the right.
On very low timeframes, long pivotLen + long MA lengths will make the lines slower to react.
This is intended as a context and structure tool, not a standalone entry signal.
