Cantillon Institutional Volume Suite [Pro] v9 - Platinum 📘 The Cantillon Platinum HandbookInstitutional Volume Suite 1.
Welcome to the Platinum Edition.
Most indicators on TradingView are "derivatives of price" (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages).
They are lagging; they tell you what has happened.
The Cantillon Suite is different. It is an Order Flow Engine. It visualizes the raw data that moves the market: Volume, Delta, and Liquidity. It is designed to answer one question: "Are the Institutions buying or selling right now?"
2. The Visual Legend (Cheat Sheet) What am I looking at?

3. The Core Modules
🏛️ Module A: Order Flow Coloring (The Trap Detector)Standard red/green candles can be misleading. A red candle might actually be bullish if whales are "absorbing" the panic selling.
Gold Bar 🟡 (The Bear Trap): This appears when a candle is RED (Price went down), but the Net Delta is POSITIVE (More volume was bought than sold).Translation: "Retail is panic selling, but Banks are passively buying everything.
"Purple Bar 🟣 (The Bull Trap): This appears when a candle is GREEN (Price went up), but the Net Delta is NEGATIVE.Translation: "Retail is FOMO buying, but Banks are passively selling into them."
📊 Module B:
Volume Profile (The Map)The histogram on the Left shows you Volume at Price (not time).
The POC (Red Line): This is the market's "Center of Gravity." Price always wants to return here.
Rule: If price is far away from the Red Line, expect a snap-back.The Value Area (Grey Zone): This is the "Safe Zone."Rule: If price crashes below the Grey Zone and then reclaims it, it is a high-probability trade back to the POC.
📈 Module C: Anchored VWAP (The Trend)Unlike a moving average, this line knows exactly when the trend started (Swing High/Low).
Bull Market: Price holds ABOVE the Purple Line. Use the line as support to buy dips.
Bear Market: Price holds BELOW the Purple Line.
Use the line as resistance to sell rallies.
4. The Strategy PlaybookHow to execute trades like a pro.Setup
#1: The "Golden Pocket" (Trend Continuation)The safest trade. Buying a dip in an uptrend.Context: Price is ABOVE the Purple AVWAP (Bull Trend).The Trigger: Price pulls back and touches the Purple Line.The Confirmation:
You see a Gold Bar 🟡 or a Green "x" (Sweep) right at the line.Execution:
BUY.Stop Loss: Below the recent swing low.Take Profit: The previous high.Setup
#2: The "Liquidity Run" (Reversal)Catching the top or bottom by identifying a "Stop Hunt."Context: Price is ranging or hitting a major level (like the PDH - Previous Day High).The Trigger: Price spikes ABOVE the Dotted Line (PDH) or a recent high.
The Confirmation: A Red "x" appears (Sweep), followed immediately by a Purple Candle 🟣.Execution: SHORT.Stop Loss: Just above the wick of the sweep candle.Take Profit: The POC (Red Line) or PDL (Previous Day Low).
Setup #3: The "Value Reclaim" (Mean Reversion)Trading the failed breakout.Context: The Volume Profile (Grey Box) is clearly visible.The Trigger: Price crashes BELOW the Value Area (VAL).The Confirmation: Price rallies back INSIDE the Grey Box and closes there.Execution: BUY.Stop Loss: Below the breakout low.Take Profit: The POC (Red Line).
5. Settings & Customization You can toggle features on/off to keep your chart clean.
1. Volume Profile: Controls the Blue Histogram on the Left. If the chart feels cluttered, uncheck "Show Volume Profile" but keep "Show POC" on.
2. Trend & AVWAP: Controls the Purple Trend Line. You can now choose the "Source" (High, Low, Close) to fine-tune the anchor.
3. Key Macro Levels: Toggles the PDH/PDL lines. Turn these on for Day Trading, off for Swing Trading.
4. Order Flow Coloring: Toggles the Gold/Purple bars. Keep this ON. It is your biggest edge.
Pro-TipsTimeframes: This tool works best on the 4-Hour (4H) for Direction and 15-Minute (15m) for Entry.Confluence is King: A "Gold Bar" in the middle of nowhere is noise. A "Gold Bar" at the PDL (Previous Day Low) is a sniper entry. Always look for at least two factors aligning (e.g., Level + Color).CPU Warning:
This script processes thousands of data points to calculate the Delta. If it loads slowly, be patient—it is crunching math that standard indicators ignore.

Ripster EMA Clouds with MTFCredits & Origins:
This script is a modification of the widely popular EMA Clouds system originally created by @Ripster47. Full credit goes to him for the strategy and original concept. This version simply adds a quality-of-life feature for traders who use multi-timeframe analysis.
What is this Indicator?
The Ripster EMA Clouds system uses overlapping Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to visualize trends, momentum, and dynamic support/resistance zones. The "clouds" differ in color to indicate bullish or bearish trends, acting as a visual guide for keeping you on the right side of the trade.
What is New in This Version? (MTF Capability)
The standard version of this indicator calculates EMAs based on your current chart timeframe. If you switch from a 10-minute chart to a 1-minute chart, the clouds change completely.
I have added a "Fixed Timeframe" variable/input that allows you to "lock" the clouds to a specific timeframe, regardless of what chart you are viewing.
Why is this useful? This allows for true Multi-Timeframe (MTF) scalping.
Example: You can set the clouds to look at the 10-minute trend (identifying major support levels) but execute your entries on a 1-minute chart.
The clouds will remain locked to the 10-minute data, giving you the "big picture" view while you trade the micro-movements.
How to Use
Open the indicator settings.
Go to the Inputs tab.
Find the "Fixed Timeframe" option at the top.
Leave Empty (Default): The indicator behaves exactly like the original (adjusts to your chart).
Select a Timeframe (e.g., 10 Minutes): The clouds will lock to the 10-minute EMAs, even if you switch your chart to 1-minute or 5-seconds.
Note on Visuals When viewing Higher Timeframe (HTF) clouds on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart, the clouds will appear to have a "stepped" or "ladder-like" appearance. This is normal and accurate. It represents the single EMA value holding constant for that entire higher-timeframe period. This helps you see the true support level rather than a smoothed, repainted line.
Weighted CCI Oscillator [SeerQuant]Weighted CCI Oscillator (WCCI)
The Weighted CCI Oscillator (WCCI) is an enhanced CCI-style deviation oscillator that builds on the classic Commodity Channel Index framework by introducing adaptive weighting and configurable smoothing. By dynamically scaling deviation based on a selected market “weight” (Volume, Momentum, Volatility, or Reversion Factor), WCCI helps trend strength and regime shifts stand out more clearly, while still retaining the familiar CCI-style structure and ±200 extreme zones.
⚙️ How It Works
WCCI starts by calculating a baseline (your chosen moving average type) of the selected CCI source (Typical Price / HLC3, or a custom input source). It then measures how far price deviates from that baseline, and applies an adaptive weight to that deviation based on your selected weighting method.
The weighting is normalized for stability so it remains usable across different assets and changing regimes, then clamped to prevent abnormal spikes from distorting the oscillator. The weighted deviation is normalized by a weighted mean absolute deviation term (using the standard CCI constant k), producing a CCI-like oscillator that responds differently depending on the “state” of the market.
Trend logic is defined using a neutral zone around the 0 midline: bullish when WCCI holds above (0 + Neutral Zone), bearish when it holds below (0 - Neutral Zone), and neutral while it remains inside that band. A smoothed WCCI line is also provided for cleaner confirmation.
✨ Customizable Settings
WCCI is designed to be tuned without overcomplication. You can choose the CCI source mode (Typical Price / HLC3 or Input Source), set the calculation length, and apply smoothing using your preferred moving average type (SMA, EMA, RMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, etc.).
The weighting method is the key differentiator:
Volume weighting emphasizes participation and activity.
Momentum weighting emphasizes impulse and directional pressure.
Volatility weighting emphasizes expansion/contraction phases.
Reversion Factor weighting responds inversely to variance, biasing toward mean-reversion conditions.
On the style side, you can select a preset colour scheme (Default/Modern/Cool/Monochrome) or enable custom bull/bear/neutral colours. Candle coloring is optional, and you can choose whether candles follow the raw WCCI or the smoothed WCCI.
🚀 Features and Benefits
WCCI provides a CCI-style oscillator that adapts to market conditions instead of treating every regime the same. The weighting engine helps meaningful moves stand out when conditions justify it, while the neutral-zone framework reduces noise and improves readability compared to relying purely on midline flips. With flexible smoothing, clean state transitions, optional candle coloring, and clear ±200 extreme markers, WCCI works well as a trend filter, confirmation layer, or regime signal alongside other systems.

Smooth Trader Concepts ToolkitToolkit providing VWAP bands, ORB levels, PVSRA-style high-volume candle detection, multi-timeframe VIDYA trend coloring, and MV Cloud (EMA/VWAP envelope). Designed as a visual support layer for delta-based strategies.
Smooth Trader Concepts – Supporting Toolkit This is the companion toolkit to the premium Smooth Trader Delta Signal System. It provides essential visual overlays and volume/momentum context tools without duplicating the paid indicator's proprietary signals (PL/PS entries, delta absorption, histogram, or heat map). The toolkit is fully transparent, optimized for performance, and intended for educational use and community contribution.
Core Features & Logic
*Time-Divided VWAP Bands
Anchored VWAP reset on user-selected periods (1D to 12M). Displays current and previous session VWAP with 4 deviation bands (multipliers 1–4).
Bands are filled with gradient opacity for depth perception. Current bands use a custom color (#9c28b1 default); previous bands use maroon. All bands are toggleable.
*Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Levels
Plots high/low of the regular session opening range on user-selected higher timeframes (default 15m & 60m).
Historical ORB lines are optional. Colors are green (high) and red (low) for clear breakout identification.
*PVSRA-Style High-Volume Candle Detection
Classifies candles based on volume relative to 10-bar SMA and candle magnitude (high-low range). High volume: ≥2× average or highest magnitude in lookback → strong color
Medium volume: ≥1.5× average → lighter color
Display options: candle coloring or diamond markers (above/below bar). Bull/bear colors are customizable.
*Multi-Timeframe VIDYA Trend Coloring
Applies adaptive VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average) across user-selected timeframe presets (1 min to monthly).
Colors candle bodies with a gradient based on MTF z-score average: bullish teal, bearish magenta, neutral gray.
Presets are processed only on the first bar for efficiency.
*MV Cloud (EMA/VWAP Envelope)
Plots a short EMA (21) against a running VWAP (length based on aggressive/moderate/conservative preset).
Fills the envelope with semi-transparent color (bullish when EMA > VWAP, bearish otherwise). Provides quick visual trend and mean-reversion context.
Optimizations & ImprovementsAll major inputs use enum types for cleaner UI and fewer errors.
Calculations refactored from methods to functions for better readability and performance.
Unused/duplicate security calls removed; lower-TF library upgraded to v5.
First-bar preset assignment and non-visual scaling refinements for faster execution.
Format set to volume with precision 0; default colors updated for better chart readability.
How to UseAdd the indicator from the public library.
Customize via grouped inputs: toggle VWAP bands/ORB lines, select PVSRA display style, choose VIDYA preset, and adjust MV Cloud aggression.
Use as a visual support layer alongside delta-focused tools — VWAP/ORB for structure, PVSRA for volume spikes, VIDYA coloring for trend bias, and MV Cloud for dynamic envelopes.
Ideal for 5m–4h timeframes on stocks, forex, or crypto.
This toolkit is released to support the trading community and encourage contributions. It is not intended as a standalone signal generator — pair it with delta/volume analysis for best results.Disclaimer

Smooth Trader Absorption SignalsSummarized Description: Specialized delta-based indicator delivering clear Power Long (PL) buy and Power Short (PS) sell signals, volume delta histogram, absorption candle detection, and integrated trend heat map via gradual candle coloring. Optimized for performance with enum inputs and function-based logic.
Full Description: Smooth Trader Delta Signal SystemThis indicator provides traders with a focused, high-signal-to-noise tool centered on volume delta dynamics and momentum shifts. It combines targeted entry signals with visual delta analysis and a built-in trend context — without unnecessary overlays or excessive features.
Core Components and Logic
*Power Long (PL) & Power Short (PS) Signals
PL signals identify potential bullish entries: bearish delta divergence on the prior bar followed by a confirmed bullish candle (large body relative to ATR and average volume, or any candle based on user preference). PS signals detect bearish reversals symmetrically.
Consecutive signals are filtered (optional) to reduce noise in choppy markets. Signals alternate via a state machine to ensure clean, non-overlapping alerts.
*Volume Delta Histogram (VDH)
Displays cumulative buy/sell volume delta using lower-timeframe precision (enum-selectable: Long, Medium, or Short Range Look Back).
Resets on user-defined conditions (Never, Higher TF interval, or regular session start).
Visualized as columns with customizable bull/bear colors; session high/low extremes are highlighted with lines and labels for context.
*Delta Absorption Candles
Detects divergence between price direction and delta volume (e.g., bullish price move on bearish delta indicates absorption).
Highlighted via optional candle coloring (divergence-specific colors) or baked into the main chart candle gradient for quick visual confirmation.
*Trend Heat Map (Integrated Candle Coloring)
Applies a gradual color gradient to candle bodies based on multi-timeframe VIDYA-based z-score average (first-bar preset assignment for efficiency).
Colors shift smoothly from neutral gray to bullish teal or bearish magenta as momentum strengthens/weakens across selected timeframes. This provides ongoing trend context without separate plots.
Key Optimizations & RefinementsAll inputs use enum types for intuitive selection and reduced errors.
*Calculations refactored from methods to functions for cleaner structure and performance.
*Lower-TF library upgraded to v5; unused/duplicate security calls removed.
*Presets processed only on first bar; histogram scaling and visual values refined for consistency.
*Format set to price (precision 0) for better chart integration; default colors updated for readability.
How to Use
1. Add the indicator from Invite-Only Scripts .
2. Customize via enums: signal type (Trend/All), consecutive filter, VDH reset/precision, timeframe preset.
3. Monitor PL/PS labels for entries; use delta histogram for volume confirmation and absorption candles for reversal context.
4. Candle heat map shows trend strength — stronger gradients indicate higher conviction.
5. Set alerts on PL/PS conditions for real-time notifications.
This tool is designed for discretionary traders on 5–60m timeframes in volatile markets (forex, crypto, indices). It requires TradingView Premium for full invite-only access.Disclaimer

Gapper SHORT Signal# TradingView Publication Description
## Title
**Gapper Short Signal - Genetic Optimized (81.8% Win Rate)**
---
## Short Description
Data-driven short signal for fading overextended gap-up stocks. Optimized using genetic algorithms on 166 historical gappers.
---
## Full Description
### 📊 What Is This?
A **precision short signal** designed specifically for fading gap-up stocks that have become overextended. Unlike indicators built on gut feeling or traditional rules, this signal was **discovered by a genetic algorithm** that analyzed 166 real gapper stocks over 70 trading days.
The algorithm tested thousands of signal combinations and evolved over 50 generations to find the exact conditions that preceded profitable short entries.
---
### 🎯 Performance (Backtest)
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Win Rate** | 81.8% |
| **Profit Factor** | 20.34 |
| **Stop Loss** | 3.4% |
| **Take Profit** | 8.6% |
*Based on 166 gapper stocks, $1-20 price range, >3% gap, >100k volume*
---
### 🔍 How It Works
The indicator fires a SHORT signal when **ALL 5 conditions** are met:
**1. Overextended Above VWAP**
Price must be trading more than 1.5 ATR above VWAP. This means the stock has run too far, too fast and is stretched like a rubber band.
**2. Volume Dying Down**
NOT a volume climax (RVOL < 3x). We want to see buying pressure fading, not a blowoff top with massive volume.
**3. Rejection Candle (Key Signal!)**
Upper wick must be >51% of the candle range. This is the smoking gun - price tried to push higher but got slammed back down. Sellers are stepping in.
**4. Still Elevated**
Price must be at least 6.66% above the low of day. We want to short stocks that are still high, not ones that have already crashed.
**5. Time Window**
Within the first 5.5 hours of trading. Gapper fades work best when there's still time in the day for the move to play out.
---

### 🧬 The Science Behind It
This indicator wasn't designed by a human - it was **evolved**.
A genetic algorithm started with 100 random indicator configurations, each with different entry conditions and thresholds. These "individuals" were backtested against historical gapper data, and the top performers were bred together to create the next generation.
After 50 generations of evolution, only the fittest signals survived. The result is the 5-condition setup you see here.
**Why genetic optimization?**
- Removes human bias from signal design
- Tests combinations humans would never think of
- Finds exact threshold values (not round numbers)
- Adapts to real market data, not theory
---
### ⚠️ Important Notes
**This is a tool, not a guarantee.**
- Backtest performance ≠ future results
- 11 trades in backtest = small sample size
- Always use proper position sizing
- Paper trade before going live
- Works best on liquid stocks with tight spreads
**Risk Management is Everything**
The 81.8% win rate means nothing if you size incorrectly or move your stops. Stick to the 3.4% stop / 8.6% target that the algorithm optimized for.
---
### 💡 Trading Tips
1. **Wait for the signal** - Don't anticipate. Let all 5 conditions align.
2. **Check the table** - Use the info panel to see which conditions are met.
3. **Respect the stop** - The 3.4% stop is part of the edge. Don't widen it.
4. **Let winners run** - 8.6% target gives you 2.5:1 reward-to-risk.
5. **One trade per setup** - Don't re-enter if stopped out.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: CLEAN CHART, RICH DASHBOARD
Traditional indicators often clutter charts with dozens of support/resistance lines, making it difficult to see price action clearly. This indicator takes a different approach:
The Chart:
Displays only the most meaningful, nearest levels (1 up, 1 down) that have not been consumed by price. This keeps your chart clean and focused on what matters right now.
The Dashboard:
Contains all detailed metrics, calculations, and analysis. Instead of drawing 20 lines on your chart, you get comprehensive data in an organized table format.
Why this approach?
• A clean chart allows you to see price action without visual noise
• Fewer but more meaningful levels help focus attention on immediate reference points
• The dashboard provides depth without sacrificing chart clarity
• Beginners can learn chart reading with an uncluttered view while accessing detailed analysis when needed
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. BLOCK SEGMENTATION
What it does:
Divides the analysis window into fixed-size blocks. Each block contains multiple bars that are analyzed as a single unit.
Why:
Individual bars contain noise. A single red candle in an uptrend might cause unnecessary concern, but when you view 5-10 bars as one block, the overall direction becomes clear. Block segmentation filters out bar-to-bar noise and reveals the underlying structure.
Benefit:
• Clearer view of market structure at a higher aggregation level
• Enables comparison between time periods (Block 1 vs Block 2 vs Block 3)
• Creates the foundation for composite candles and trend detection
• Reduces emotional reaction to single-bar movements
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2. COMPOSITE CANDLES (FRACTAL CONCEPT)
What it does:
Each block generates a "ghost candle" representing aggregated OHLC:
• Open: First bar's open in the block
• High: Highest high across all bars in the block
• Low: Lowest low across all bars in the block
• Close: Last bar's close in the block
Why:
This is essentially a FRACTAL view of the market. The same candlestick patterns that appear on a daily chart also appear on hourly charts, and on 5-minute charts. By aggregating bars into composite candles, you create a synthetic higher timeframe view without changing your actual timeframe.
Benefit:
• See higher timeframe patterns while staying on your preferred timeframe
• Identify block-level candlestick patterns (Doji, Hammer, Marubozu, Engulfing, etc.)
• Compare composite candle relationships: Does Block 1 engulf Block 2? Is Block 1 an inside bar relative to Block 2?
• Recognize patterns that individual bars obscure due to noise
Fractal Nature:
A hammer pattern means the same thing whether it appears on a 1-minute chart or a weekly chart: price tested lower levels and was rejected. Composite candles let you see these patterns at your chosen aggregation level, providing a multi-scale view of market behavior.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3. VOLUME ENGINE
What it does:
This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED. It separates total volume into buying volume and selling volume using two methods:
Method 1 - Geometric (Approximation):
• Buy Volume = Total Volume × ((Close - Low) / Range)
• Sell Volume = Total Volume × ((High - Close) / Range)
Method 2 - Intrabar LTF (Precise):
Uses actual tick-level or lower timeframe data to determine real buy/sell distribution.
Why:
Raw volume tells you HOW MUCH was traded, but not WHO was aggressive. A large volume bar could mean heavy buying, heavy selling, or both. By separating buy and sell volume, you can identify which side is driving the market.
Benefit:
• Identify whether buyers or sellers are more aggressive
• Detect when volume contradicts price direction (divergence)
• Measure accumulation (buying into weakness) vs distribution (selling into strength)
• Quantify the delta (buy minus sell) to see net pressure
Why Delta Matters:
If price is rising but delta is negative, sellers are actually more aggressive despite the price increase. This divergence often precedes reversals because the price movement lacks volume confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4. PIN ANALYSIS (WICK MEASUREMENT)
What it does:
Calculates average upper pin (wick) and lower pin sizes for each block, then tracks how these change across consecutive blocks.
Why:
Upper pins represent price levels that were tested but rejected by sellers. Lower pins represent price levels that were tested but rejected by buyers. The size and direction of pins reveal rejection strength at specific price zones.
Benefit:
• Large upper pins = strong selling pressure at higher levels
• Large lower pins = strong buying support at lower levels
• Increasing upper pins across blocks = intensifying selling pressure
• Decreasing lower pins across blocks = weakening buying support
Why Track Pin Changes:
Pin behavior often changes before price direction changes. If lower pins are shrinking while price is still rising, the buying support that was defending dips is weakening. This is observable data, not prediction.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5. TREND CHANNEL DETECTION
What it does:
Identifies trend direction using block-level price structure:
• UPTREND: Block highs are higher than previous block highs, AND block lows are higher than previous block lows (HH/HL pattern)
• DOWNTREND: Block highs are lower than previous block highs, AND block lows are lower than previous block lows (LH/LL pattern)
• RANGE: No consistent directional pattern
Once detected, the system draws upper and lower channel boundaries by connecting extreme points within each trend segment.
Why:
HH/HL and LH/LL are the classical definitions of trend. By applying this logic to composite candles (blocks) rather than individual bars, the trend detection becomes more stable and less prone to whipsaws from single-bar noise.
Benefit:
• Clear visual boundaries showing the current trend channel
• Upper channel line = dynamic resistance based on actual price structure
• Lower channel line = dynamic support based on actual price structure
• Channel angle indicates trend strength (steeper = stronger)
• Channel width indicates volatility
Why Lock Trend States:
Once a block's trend classification is determined, it locks and does not change on subsequent recalculations. Without locking, the same block could flip between UP and DOWN repeatedly, creating inconsistent analysis. Locking ensures stability.
Why Project Lines Forward:
Channel lines can be projected into the future to show where support/resistance would be if the current trend continues at the same angle. This is not a prediction; it is a visual reference showing the trend's trajectory.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
6. CORE LEVELS: POC, MAX BUY, MAX SELL
What it does:
Identifies key price levels within each block based on volume data:
POC (Point of Control):
The price level where the highest total volume occurred within the block.
MAX BUY Level:
The bar with the highest buying volume. The HIGH of this bar marks the level.
MAX SELL Level:
The bar with the highest selling volume. The LOW of this bar marks the level.
MIN BUY/SELL Levels:
Optional levels showing where minimum buy/sell volume occurred.
Why:
High volume at a specific price means many participants entered positions there. These participants have a vested interest in that price level. If price returns to that area, those same participants may act to defend their positions.
Benefit:
• POC acts as a volume-based magnet; price tends to revisit high-volume areas
• MAX BUY level shows where buyers committed most aggressively
• MAX SELL level shows where sellers committed most aggressively
• These levels are based on actual transaction data, not arbitrary calculations
Why Consumed Levels Disappear:
When price crosses through a level, that level has been "tested." Keeping consumed levels on the chart creates visual clutter and suggests they are still relevant when they may no longer be. Removing them keeps focus on levels that have not yet been tested.
Why Show Only Nearest Levels:
If you have 20 blocks, you could have 60+ potential levels (POC, MAX BUY, MAX SELL for each). Displaying all of them makes the chart unreadable. Showing only the nearest untested level above and below current price keeps the chart clean while providing immediate reference points.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
7. QUALITY SCORE AND TREND INTELLIGENCE
What it does:
Calculates a quality score (0-100) for the current trend based on multiple factors:
• Angle steepness (stronger trends have steeper angles)
• Delta consistency (does volume support the trend direction?)
• Volume momentum (is participation increasing or decreasing?)
• Body expansion (are candle bodies growing or shrinking?)
• Pin alignment (do pins support the trend direction?)
• Contradiction count (how many factors disagree?)
Why:
Not all trends are equal. A trend with consistent volume support, expanding bodies, and aligned pins is healthier than a trend with contradicting signals. The quality score quantifies this.
Benefit:
• HIGH quality (80+): Multiple factors confirm the trend
• MEDIUM quality (60-79): Some factors confirm, some neutral
• LOW quality (below 60): Multiple contradictions exist
• Strength rating based on channel angle: VERY STRONG, STRONG, MODERATE, WEAK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
8. NARRATIVE ENGINE
What it does:
Generates a text-based market analysis by synthesizing all calculated data into readable sentences.
How it works:
1. Analyzes current candle: pattern type (Doji, Hammer, Marubozu, etc.), body/wick ratios, range vs ATR
2. Analyzes composite candle: Block 1 pattern and relationship to Block 2 (Engulfing, Inside, Outside)
3. Evaluates trend context: direction, duration, quality, transitions
4. Examines volume data: delta, dominance, momentum direction
5. Checks proximity to key levels: channel boundaries, POC, core levels
6. Identifies divergences: when price and volume directions contradict
7. Produces a coherent narrative describing the current situation
Why:
Numbers and charts require interpretation. The narrative engine translates calculated data into plain language, helping traders understand what the data means in context. This is especially valuable for beginners learning to read charts.
Benefit:
• Synthesizes multiple data points into a coherent story
• Explicitly flags divergences and contradictions
• Describes the current situation without making predictions
• Educational: shows how different factors relate to each other
What the Narrative Does NOT Do:
The narrative describes what IS, not what WILL BE. It does not predict future price movement. It reports the current candle pattern, the current trend state, the current volume situation, and the current proximity to levels.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
9. SMART DASHBOARD
What it does:
Displays all metrics in an organized table with multiple sections.
Sections:
• Volume Engine: Calculation method, data availability, current candle buy/sell/delta
• Trend Volumetrics: Aggregated buy/sell/delta across the current trend, trend type
• Pressure and Momentum: Average pins, pin change percentages, body expansion status
• Trend Channel Boundaries: Upper/lower levels with exact prices, distances, percentages
• Trend Intelligence: Quality score, confidence level, strength rating, volume momentum
Why:
All the detailed calculations need to live somewhere without cluttering the chart. The dashboard provides comprehensive data in a structured format.
Benefit:
• All metrics in one place
• Organized by category for easy reference
• Hover over any label to see a tooltip explaining that metric
• No need to draw dozens of lines on the chart
TIP: Hover over dashboard headers and labels to see tooltips explaining each metric.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
10. LANGUAGE SUPPORT
The indicator supports three languages:
• English
• Türkçe (Turkish)
• हिन्दी (Hindi)
Why only three languages?
Each additional language requires duplicate strings throughout the code, increasing memory usage and compilation time. To keep the script optimized and responsive, language options are limited to these three.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
11. DATA ACCURACY AND LIMITATIONS
This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED and requires Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data for accurate calculations.
DATA ACCURACY LEVELS:
• 1T (Tick): Most accurate, real volume distribution per tick
• 1S (1 Second): Reasonably accurate approximation
• 15S (15 Seconds): Good approximation, longer historical data available
• 1M (1 Minute): Rough approximation, maximum historical data range
BACKTEST AND REPLAY LIMITATIONS:
• Replay mode results may differ from live trading due to data availability
• For longer backtest periods, use higher LTF settings (15S or 1M)
• Not all symbols/exchanges support tick-level data
• Crypto and Forex typically have better LTF data availability than stocks
A NOTE ON DATA ACCESS:
Higher TradingView plans provide access to more historical intrabar data, which directly impacts the accuracy of volume-based calculations. More precise volume data leads to more reliable calculations.

Volatility Momentum Suite | Lyro RSVolatility Momentum Suite is an advanced momentum and volatility-based oscillator designed to deliver a complete view of trend strength, acceleration, and market extremes in a single pane. By combining rate-of-change smoothing, adaptive moving averages, standard deviation bands, and momentum acceleration, the indicator provides clear structural insight into trend continuation, exhaustion, and potential reversals.
Built with multiple display and signal modes, it adapts seamlessly to both trend-following and mean-reversion workflows while maintaining strong visual clarity.
Key Features
Momentum Core (Smoothed RoC)
The foundation of the indicator is a Rate of Change (RoC) calculation applied to a selectable price source. This RoC is smoothed using one of 14+ moving average types, including EMA, HMA, KAMA, FRAMA, JMA, and more, allowing precise control over responsiveness versus smoothness.
Standard Deviation Bands
Dynamic deviation bands are calculated around the smoothed momentum line using rolling standard deviation. Two band layers are plotted:
Inner bands for early expansion signals
Outer bands for extreme conditions
These bands adapt automatically to volatility, highlighting momentum expansions, compressions, and exhaustion zones.
Momentum Acceleration
A dedicated acceleration line measures the momentum of momentum itself. This helps identify:
Early trend ignition
Momentum deceleration before reversals
Continuation strength during expansions
Acceleration smoothing and MA type are fully configurable.
Multi-Mode Signal System
Trend Mode
Colors momentum and price according to position above or below the zero line, emphasizing directional bias and trend continuation.
Heikin Ashi Candles Mode
Applies Heikin Ashi logic directly to the momentum series, filtering noise and revealing smoother trend transitions through candle structure.
Extremes Mode
Detects statistically extreme momentum conditions beyond outer deviation bands. Signals are only confirmed after a Heikin Ashi momentum flip, reducing premature reversal entries.
Histogram Mode
Displays the difference between momentum and its signal line as a histogram, useful for divergence spotting and momentum shifts.
Histogram & Signal Line
An EMA signal line is applied to the smoothed momentum, producing a histogram that visually tracks momentum expansion, contraction, and directional changes with adaptive coloring.
Visual Customization
Choose from multiple predefined color palettes:
Classic
Mystic
Accented
Royal
Or define your own bullish and bearish colors.
Additional visual features include:
Momentum-colored candles
Heikin Ashi momentum candles
Band shading and fills
Optional zero-line reference
Integrated Status Table
A built-in table summarizes the real-time state of:
Trend bias
Heikin Ashi momentum direction
Extreme overbought / oversold conditions
This allows rapid decision-making without needing to interpret every visual element manually.
How It Works
Momentum Calculation
Computes Rate of Change on the selected source and smooths it using the chosen moving average.
Volatility Structure
Builds adaptive deviation bands from rolling standard deviation of the momentum line.
Acceleration Layer
Measures the rate of momentum change to detect early shifts in strength.
Mode-Dependent Logic
Trend mode focuses on directional bias
HA mode smooths momentum structure
Extremes mode filters reversals using volatility and HA confirmation
Histogram mode emphasizes momentum differentials
Signals & Alerts
Automatic alerts trigger on:
Momentum crossing above or below zero
Heikin Ashi momentum flips
Confirmed overbought and oversold extremes
Practical Use
Trend Confirmation: Sustained momentum above zero with expanding bands supports trend continuation.
Reversal Identification: Momentum pushing beyond outer bands followed by HA confirmation often precedes reversals.
Momentum Quality: Acceleration helps distinguish strong breakouts from weakening moves.
Multi-Timeframe Alignment: Use higher timeframes for bias and lower timeframes for precision entries using the same indicator.
Customization
Adjust RoC length and smoothing for sensitivity
Tune band length and multipliers for volatility conditions
Select display and signal modes based on strategy type
Fully customize colors to match your chart environment

Delta Microstructure AnalysisDelta Microstructure Analysis
Market microstructure analysis using footprint data for divergence, exhaustion, absorption, and trapped trader detection
Overview
Delta Microstructure Analysis is an order flow indicator that uses TradingView's footprint data to identify market conditions including divergences, exhaustion patterns, absorption zones, and trapped trader scenarios. The indicator calculates delta at each bar and tracks cumulative delta to identify potential reversals and continuations.
Key Features
Footprint Data Integration: Uses TradingView's built-in footprint data for accurate buy/sell volume delta calculation. Falls back to synthetic delta calculation when footprint data is unavailable.
Adaptive Tick Calculation: Automatically adjusts footprint tick size based on asset type and timeframe. Baseline values: crypto (200), forex (10), stocks (5), indices/futures (1), with timeframe scaling.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Tracks cumulative delta with reset options (None, Daily, Fixed Bars) to identify overall buying/selling pressure trends.
Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish divergences between price action and cumulative delta using configurable pivot strength (3-20 bars).
Exhaustion Pattern Recognition: Detects buying and selling exhaustion when delta exceeds configurable multiplier (2.0-10.0x) of average delta over lookback period (10-100 bars).
Absorption Zone Analysis: Identifies areas where aggressive orders are absorbed by resting liquidity, indicating potential support/resistance zones.
Trapped Trader Detection: Recognizes scenarios with strong initial momentum followed by sharp reversals, suggesting trapped positions.
Visual Labeling System: Displays signals as monospace labels (DIV↑/DIV↓, EXH↑/EXH↓, ABS↑/ABS↓, TRAP↑/TRAP↓) above/below candles.
Info Table Display: Shows current CVD, delta, average delta, data source, and active signals in a monospace-formatted table.
Alert System: Individual alerts for each signal type (divergences, exhaustion, absorption, trapped traders).
How It Works
Footprint Data Request: The indicator requests footprint data using adaptive tick sizing. If unavailable, uses synthetic delta calculation based on candle characteristics.
Delta Calculation: For footprint data, uses fp.delta() function. For synthetic delta, considers body size, wick analysis, and volume characteristics.
Cumulative Delta Tracking: Maintains running cumulative delta that resets based on selected mode (daily session changes or fixed bar intervals).
Pivot Detection: Uses configurable pivot strength to identify significant highs and lows in both price and cumulative delta.
Divergence Analysis: Compares price pivots with cumulative delta pivots. Bullish divergence: lower price lows with higher delta lows. Bearish divergence: higher price highs with lower delta highs.
Exhaustion Detection: Calculates average absolute delta over lookback period and identifies when current delta exceeds multiplier threshold.
Absorption Identification: Analyzes footprint patterns to detect when aggressive orders are met with sufficient resting liquidity.
Trapped Trader Recognition: Identifies strong momentum followed by sharp reversals using proprietary pattern recognition.
Signal Display: Shows signals as labels on chart and summarizes in info table with current market conditions.
Use Cases
Divergence Trading: Use divergence signals to identify potential trend reversals before they appear in price action.
Exhaustion Monitoring: Identify when buying or selling pressure may be exhausted, suggesting potential reversals.
Support/Resistance Levels: Use absorption zones to identify key price levels where institutional activity occurs.
Risk Management: Use trapped trader signals to anticipate sharp reversals and adjust position sizing.
Market Structure Analysis: Understand underlying order flow dynamics driving price movements.
Confirmation Tool: Combine with other technical indicators to confirm signals and improve trade probability.

Technical Notes
The indicator uses TradingView's footprint functions (request.footprint(), fp.delta()) for order flow analysis.
Adaptive tick calculation converts all timeframes to minutes for consistent scaling across chart intervals.
Synthetic delta calculation uses body size (70% weight), wick analysis, and body-to-range ratio for fallback when footprint data unavailable.
The indicator uses barstate.isconfirmed for calculations to prevent repainting.
All text displays use monospace font for consistent readability.
Table displays current CVD, delta, average delta, data source, and active signals in real-time.
Best Practices
Use on symbols where footprint data is available for most accurate analysis.
Combine divergence signals with price action for higher probability setups.
Monitor exhaustion signals in context of overall trend direction.
Pay attention to absorption zones at key technical levels.
Use trapped trader signals as early warning for potential reversals.
Adjust pivot strength based on trading timeframe (lower for shorter timeframes).
Consider data source indicator - synthetic delta may be less reliable than footprint data.
Set up alerts for preferred signal types when monitoring multiple symbols.
This indicator analyzes market microstructure using footprint data to identify divergences, exhaustion, absorption, and trapped trader patterns.
Supercharged MA Momentum Oscillator (v6,Secondary Levels)Supercharged MA Momentum Oscillator (Dots on Line)
Description:
The Supercharged MA Momentum Oscillator is a trend and momentum-based tool designed to highlight short-term market momentum relative to a moving average. It provides a visual way to identify potential entry and exit points using a combination of smoothed momentum, ATR-based thresholds, and upper/lower momentum levels.
Key Features:
Smooth momentum line derived from a moving average slope.
Opposite momentum line for contrarian signals.
ATR-based thresholds to detect meaningful momentum shifts.
Upper and lower momentum levels for stronger confirmation of overbought/oversold conditions.
Buy/sell dots plotted on the momentum line to highlight potential trade opportunities.
Customizable inputs for moving average length, smoothing, ATR period, and thresholds.
How to Use:
Momentum Interpretation:
Blue Line (Momentum): Represents the primary momentum.
Orange Line (Opposite Momentum): Represents the inverse momentum for contrarian observation.
Thresholds & Levels:
Green/Red Lines (ATR Thresholds): Define minor trigger zones for potential momentum changes.
Yellow Dashed Lines (Upper/Lower Levels): Define major momentum levels; stronger signals occur when momentum crosses these.
Trade Signals:
Buy Signal (Green Dot): Momentum crosses above both the ATR long threshold and the upper momentum level.
Sell Signal (Red Dot): Momentum crosses below both the ATR short threshold and the lower momentum level.
Dots appear directly on the momentum line to easily visualize trade triggers.
Customization:
Adjust the MA Length and Smoothing to fit the timeframe and asset volatility.
Modify ATR Length and Threshold Factor to fine-tune sensitivity.
Change Upper/Lower Momentum Levels to capture stronger or weaker signals.
Tips:
Best used in combination with trend analysis or other technical indicators for confirmation.
Ideal for spotting momentum reversals or identifying potential breakout entries.
Works on multiple timeframes — shorter timeframes will show more frequent signals, longer timeframes filter noise.
Note:
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes. Always use proper risk management and confirm signals with other analysis before executing trades.
Order Block IndicatorThe Order Block Indicator is a multi-timeframe institutional order detection tool designed to identify significant price levels where large order activity has occurred. Using a proprietary adaptive algorithm, the indicator analyzes order size and frequency from multiple timeframes to determine areas where price is likely to have a significant reaction when it returns to those levels.
The indicator adapts to price and volume data in real time, detecting only the levels with the highest importance and displaying them with rankings for ease of use. This adaptive approach means the indicator automatically adjusts to current market conditions, providing relevant levels during both high-volatility and low-volatility periods.
The indicator works on any market with volume data, including futures, stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities.
This indicator can be used on lower timeframe charts such as 1 minute intervals for day trading, as well as higher timeframe charts such as 1 day for swing trading. Below are some screenshots as examples.
Day trading 1 minute chart examples:
Apple on the 1 minute chart with default settings.
Tesla on the 1 minute chart with default settings.
Swing trading 1 day chart examples:
NVIDIA on the 1 day chart with 5m, 15m, 30m timeframes for data and 12 month session tracking.
Apple on the 1 day chart with 5m, 15m, 30m timeframes for data and 12 month session tracking.
Nasdaq Futures (NQ) on the 1 day chart with 5m, 15m, 30m timeframe for data and 12 month session tracking.
----------------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
The Order Block Indicator analyzes data from three separate lower timeframes (default: 10T, 1S, 5S) to identify areas of significant institutional order activity. The proprietary detection algorithm evaluates order size and frequency to find price levels that are most likely to act as future support or resistance.
Adaptive Detection - The indicator continuously adapts to market conditions in real time. Rather than using static thresholds that become irrelevant as volatility changes, the algorithm dynamically adjusts its sensitivity. This allows the indicator to identify meaningful institutional activity during both quiet overnight sessions and volatile market opens.
Three-Tier Classification - Detected order blocks are classified into three tiers based on their significance:
Tier 1 (thickest lines): Highest importance — the strongest levels detected
Tier 2 (medium lines): Second highest importance — significant levels
Tier 3 (thinnest lines): Third highest importance — moderate levels
Tier 1 levels represent areas where price is most likely to react strongly. Tier 2 and Tier 3 levels represent slightly less significant areas but are still extremely valuable levels.
Ranking System - Within each tier, levels are ranked by their significance. The #1 ranked level in each tier represents the most important level for that classification. Rankings update in real time as new levels are detected, ensuring you always see the most relevant information.
Session-Based Tracking - Levels are tracked within user-defined sessions (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly). At session boundaries, current levels are terminated and the most important levels from each tier can optionally extend forward as "Prev" lines. This allows you to maintain awareness of key historical levels while focusing on current session activity.

Identifying Support and Resistance - Order block levels represent prices where significant institutional activity occurred. When price approaches these levels, watch for:
Price reactions (bounces or rejections, especially with large wicks) confirming the level's significance
Breakouts and then retests of these levels
Finding reversals when an order block appears at extreme ends of an upward or downward move and then price bounces off of that order block
Add multiple instances of the indicator to your chart with different tracking sessions such as 1H, 1D and 1W to get very recent important levels, important levels from the day’s session and important levels from the week’s session. These can all provide excellent levels to enter trades and scalp bounces from
Using the Tier System
Tier 1 levels represent the strongest institutional interest and often produce the most reliable reactions
Tier 2 levels indicate significant activity and serve as high-probability support/resistance
Tier 3 levels show moderate activity and can be used for scalping targets or secondary reference points
When multiple tier levels cluster near each other, the zone gains exceptional significance
Trading Approaches
Use Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels for primary trade decisions (entries, exits, stop placement)
Use Tier 3 levels for scaling in/out or as warning zones
Scalp rejections at the order blocks, especially when large wicks form at the level
Watch for price reactions at "Prev" levels from the previous session
Combine with price action confirmation (candlestick patterns, market structure, order flow) for best results
Many times price will push through an order block and appear to not respect that level, but then when price comes back to it, the candle bodies and wicks show clear significance to that level. Use this to your advantage a trade the retests of these levels.
Understanding Rankings
#1 = Most significant level in that tier this session
#2 = Second most significant, etc.

Settings Guide
Global Settings
Session Length To Reset Tracking : Determines how often level tracking resets (Daily, Weekly, Monthly). Day traders typically use Daily; swing traders may prefer Weekly or Monthly.
Show Tracking Session Period On Labels : When enabled, appends the session timeframe to labels (e.g., "Tier 1 #1 (D)"). Useful when running multiple instances with different session settings.
Lower Timeframe #1, #2, #3 For Data : The three data resolutions used to scan for orders (default: 10T, 1S, 5S). All three must be smaller than your chart timeframe and should be different from each other. Choose the lowest timeframes you can that still provide at least 2 full session periods of historical data.
Tier 1 Settings (Highest Importance)
Tier 1 Levels On/Off: Enable or disable Tier 1 level display
Labels On/Off: Show or hide Tier 1 labels
Number Of Tier 1 Levels To Track: How many Tier 1 levels to display, ranked by significance (default: 2)
Extend Previous Session Important Levels On/Off: When enabled, top levels extend into the next session as "Prev" lines
Number Of Previous Session Levels To Extend: How many of the top Tier 1 levels to carry forward (default: 1)
Line Color: Color for Tier 1 lines and labels (default: White)

Style Settings
Previous Session Line Style: Choose Solid, Dashed, or Dotted for extended "Prev" lines. Dotted (default) helps distinguish historical levels from the current session levels.
Label Offset: Distance from current price to place labels. Also controls how far lines extend to the right. Increase if labels overlap price action.
Text Size: Font size for all labels (1-20 range).

Multi-Session Analysis
Add the indicator three times to the same chart
Instance 1: Session = Hourly, enable "Show Session Period On Labels" and set timeframes 10 1T, 10T, 1S
Instance 2: Session = Daily, enable "Show Session Period On Labels" and set timeframes to 10T, 1S, 5S
Instance 3: Session = Weekly, enable "Show Session Period On Labels" and set timeframes to 5S, 10S, 15S
Use different colors for each instance
Result: See both hourly, daily and weekly significant levels with clear distinction
----------------------------------------------------------------
Data Requirements And Limitations
Subscription Tier Considerations The default settings use tick-based intervals (10T) and second-based intervals (1S, 5S), which require a paid TradingView subscription.
If You Don't Have Tick/Second Data Access Simply change the "Lower Timeframe For Data" settings to minute-based intervals. For best results, use the lowest timeframes you can that still give you at least 2 previous tracking sessions worth of data. For example if you only have minute intervals available, use 1m, 2m & 3m as long as you have enough data to view the previous 2 days worth of historical bars when set to a 1 day tracking session.
The indicator works effectively with minute-based data for swing trading on higher timeframe charts.
Additional Notes
All three lower timeframes must be smaller than your chart timeframe
Choose timeframes that provide at least 2 session periods of historical data for best results
Levels are confirmed at bar close to ensure accuracy, so you will not see levels until the current bar is confirmed
Works on any market with volume data (futures, stocks, forex, crypto, commodities)

Tips For Best Results
Start with defaults : The default 10T/1S/5S configuration is optimized for intraday trading. Adjust only after understanding how the indicator behaves on your preferred market and based on your data allowances from your subscription tier.
Prioritize Tier 1 levels : These represent the strongest detected activity and typically produce the most reliable price reactions.
Watch for level clusters : When levels from multiple tiers appear near each other, that price zone has exceptional significance.
Use Previous Session levels : "Prev" levels often act as significant support/resistance in the new session, especially Tier 1 Prev levels.
Combine with price action : Order block levels work best when combined with candlestick patterns, market structure analysis, or other confirmation techniques. One of the best ways to trade these levels is to look for large wicks at these levels as confirmation that price is going to react there and then scalp those rejections.
Adjust for your trading style : Day traders should use Daily sessions with tick/second timeframes. Swing traders should use Weekly/Monthly sessions with second/minute timeframes.

Troubleshooting
Indicator Not Loading or Displaying Incorrectly Toggle the "Fix Indicator Loading Error" checkbox ON or OFF to force TradingView to restart the indicator.
No Levels Appearing
Verify your subscription tier supports the selected lower timeframe intervals
Check that at least one tier is enabled with "Number of Levels" greater than 0
Confirm that your lower timeframes are smaller than your chart timeframe
Ensure you have enough historical data available on your chart
If using 1T for data on charts with lots of participants such as NQ, you might not get much data during regular trading hours due to there being tons of transactions happening every second which limits how far back the indicator can gather data from
There may not be any levels that were detected as having major significance within the tracking period and with enough lower timeframe data provided
Too Many or Too Few Levels
Adjust "Number of Levels To Track" for each tier
Disable lower-importance tiers (Tier 2, Tier 3) for a cleaner display
Enable more tiers if you want additional reference levels
Labels Overlapping Price Action
Increase "Label Offset (Bars)" in Style Settings
Reduce text size if needed
----------------------------------------------------------------
This indicator is designed to assist with identifying potential support and resistance zones based on detected institutional order activity. As with any technical analysis tool, it should be used as part of a comprehensive trading approach that includes proper risk management. Past performance of identified levels does not guarantee future price reactions.
