ZenAlgo - GridOverview and anchoring logic This indicator constructs a price grid based on a dynamically or manually defined price swing. The entire calculation starts by defining two anchor points that represent a completed directional move. These anchors can be selected in two ways: Manually, by specifying a start time and an end time, where the indicator uses the candle corresponding to those times and selects either wick highs or lows depending on direction. Automatically, by detecting significant swing points derived from recent price extremes over a configurable historical window. The chosen anchors form a reference segment between point A and point B. This segment defines both direction and magnitude of the move. All subsequent levels and zones are derived relative to this segment, ensuring the grid adapts to current market structure rather than using fixed price distances. Difference from traditional grid and Fibonacci tools Unlike fixed price grids or standard Fibonacci tools that require manual anchoring and remain static once drawn, this indicator continuously derives its grid from the most relevant completed price swing. Instead of treating levels as independent horizontal prices, all values are expressed as proportions of a single measured move, allowing the grid to automatically rescale and realign as market structure evolves. Market structure detection and directional context Before the grid itself is drawn, the script continuously evaluates price structure using swing detection over two different sensitivities. Larger swings establish the dominant structural direction, while smaller swings can optionally be shown for internal context. Swing highs and swing lows are detected by comparing historical highs and lows over a rolling window. When price crosses above or below the most recent structural level, the script classifies the event as either a continuation in the same direction or a change in direction. This structural state determines whether the grid is treated as upward or downward and influences the visual orientation of labels and zones. This step matters because retracement and extension levels only have meaning when referenced to a clearly defined directional move. Primary range construction between anchors Once the anchor points are established, the indicator measures the vertical price distance between them. This distance is treated as a normalized range rather than an absolute value. Every level drawn afterward is positioned as a proportional offset of this range. If the second anchor is above the first, the grid is considered bullish. If the second anchor is below the first, the grid is considered bearish. Colors and label orientation adapt automatically to this direction. By normalizing the range, the grid remains comparable across assets and timeframes. Retracement and extension level placement The indicator plots a predefined set of proportional levels between and beyond the anchor points. Each level represents a fraction or multiple of the original move. Lower values correspond to deeper retracements toward the origin of the move. Mid-range values represent partial pullbacks within the move. Higher values extend beyond the move, projecting potential continuation zones. Each level is drawn as a horizontal line extending into future bars, accompanied by a label. Labels can be shown either as descriptive names or as raw proportional values, depending on user preference. Zone construction instead of single levels Rather than relying only on precise price lines, the indicator groups selected proportions into zones. This reflects the observation that price interaction typically occurs across ranges rather than at exact prices. A retracement zone highlights an area between two closely spaced proportional levels. A projection zone marks a continuation region beyond the measured move. These zones are drawn as shaded areas extending forward in time. Visual reference points The indicator explicitly marks the two anchor points on the chart. Point A represents the origin of the measured move. Point B represents the completion of that move. This allows the user to visually verify which price swing the grid is derived from. How to interpret the values All plotted levels express proportional relationships to the measured move, not independent price predictions. Lower proportional values indicate proximity to the start of the move. Mid-range values represent partial retracements. Higher values indicate projected continuation areas. How to best use this indicator This indicator serves as a structural reference tool rather than a signal generator. Apply it after a clear directional swing has formed. Use higher-timeframe context to validate anchor selection. Combine the grid with price behavior and other contextual tools. Limitations and disclaimers This indicator is purely proportional and structure-based. It does not incorporate volume, volatility regimes, or fundamental data. Automatic anchoring may differ from subjective swing selection. Levels and zones represent reference areas, not guaranteed reaction points. The indicator describes price structure and proportional relationships only.

TrendFlow Scanner Pro [FxScripts]The TrendFlow Scanner Pro measures price momentum and trend strength using a bespoke market-wide analysis. The unique TrendFlow algorithm enables users to identify high-probability directional setups and reversal zones. Core Methodology The scanner evaluates trend strength by comparing multiple metrics across multiple touchpoints filtering out weaker countertrend moves. This approach aims to distinguish genuine trends and reversals from isolated price movements. Visual Data The scanner displays up to four rows of trend strength and momentum sentiment, with configurable visibility for each. This level of data across multiple touchpoints helps reduce false signals thus strengthening trade setups. Sensitivity Score The scanner can be optimised for different timeframes and instruments by increasing or decreasing the Sensitivity Score. An auto-adjustment option exists for users who like to switch between multiple timeframes. Trend Filter An optional Trend Filter can be applied to the scanner with a scale ranging from 0-50 (0 = off). The higher the value, the longer term the filter that's applied. If downward momentum is detected during an uptrend, the scanner will show the filtered values in a lighter tone, vice versa for a downtrend. The Trend Filter also stops countertrend arrows from displaying. Both filtered and unfiltered colors can be adjusted. Arrows Arrows can be set to appear when any number of rows simultaneously show the same directional bias. They utilize the same shading gradient as the rows and can appear either above/below the standard scanner rows or on the main chart. To set up the latter, tap the three dots to the right of scanner settings, select ‘Move to > Existing pane above’, the scanner will now appear on the main chart. If you deselect ‘Display Scanner Rows’, the arrows will appear by themselves and can thus be used to show trend strength directly above/below price. Infill Arrows An additional set of arrows, known as ‘Infill Arrows’, can be configured to appear when the scanner isn’t registering strong momentum, however price is still above or below the Trend Filter. This is designed for periods of weaker momentum or pullbacks and allows traders to stay in a trade for longer. Backtesting this feature is advised to ensure the filter is set correctly for both price and timeframe. Instruments The scanner has an instrument-detection feature that allows it to automatically detect and scan the following currencies, metals, crypto and indices: Currencies - 7x Majors, 21x Minors (also works on currency futures - 6A, 6B, 6C, 6E, 6J, 6S, 6N) Metals - Gold and Silver (also works on GC and SI futures) Crypto - BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, TRX, DOGE, ADA, LINK, XLM, SHIB, UNI Indices - DOW (US30/YM), NASDAQ (NAS100/US100/NQ/QQQ), S&P (SP500/US500/ES/SPX/SPY), DAX (DE40/GER40/FDAX), FTSE (FTSE100/UK100) N.B. This list may change over time, always check the latest release notes. Market Hours Detection (Indices Only) The indicator automatically detects instrument type and applies appropriate session filters. US indices appear during NYSE hours, European indices during their respective sessions, while forex displays 24/5 and crypto 24/7. An optional "Show Out of Hours" toggle allows indices to be monitored outside of their respective trading sessions using a reduced set of data points, primarily one row instead of four. N.B. if arrows are enabled, they will display regardless of the number of rows available at the time. Use Cases Traders can use the scanner to identify market strength or weakness, confirm directional bias and time entries when strength alignment coincides with favorable trend structure. Like all indicators, the scanner should be considered a confluence as opposed to a signal generator. Alerts Configure alerts and receive notifications when all four rows (or all that are visible) start a bullish or bearish sequence. This feature is particularly beneficial for traders who like to monitor multiple instruments or prefer not to stare at a screen all day. Performance and Optimization Backtesting Results: TrendFlow Scanner Pro has undergone extensive backtesting across various instruments, timeframes and market conditions, demonstrating strong performance in identifying both trends and reversals. User backtesting is strongly encouraged as it allows traders to gain familiarity with the scanner and their preferred instruments and timeframes. Optimization for Diverse Markets: TrendFlow Scanner Pro can be used on the aforementioned crypto, forex, indices and metal markets. TrendFlow Scanner Pro's algorithmic foundation ensures consistent performance across a variety of instruments. The lack of complex settings makes it easy for the trader to set up and go. Educational Resources and Support Users of the TrendFlow Scanner Pro benefit from comprehensive educational resources and full access to FxScripts Support. This ensures traders can maximize the potential of the scanner and other tools in the Sigma Indicator Suite by learning best practices and gaining insights from an experienced team of traders.

TradeX Guru Intraday Scalping SetupThe TradeX Guru Scalping setup is a multivariate analysis system designed to isolate high-probability market vectors by filtering stochastic market noise. Unlike linear indicators that rely on singular data points, this system employs a "Composite Confluence Algorithm" that synthesizes directional bias, momentum magnitude, harmonic cycles, and volumetric deviation into a unified signal output. This tool is engineered for traders requiring low-latency decision support, featuring automated variance-based risk modeling (Dynamic Stops & Targets) and real-time market telemetry displayed directly on the chart. Methodology & Underlying Principles This script operates as a Multivariate Decision Engine, synthesizing four distinct dimensions of market data into a single binary output. Instead of relying on raw, lagging signals, the algorithm employs a composite filtering mechanism to isolate high-probability vectors. 1. Trend Basis Cloud (Dual-Filter Smoothing) Scientific Concept: Low-Pass Signal Filtering. Description: The system utilizes a dual-period exponential smoothing algorithm to filter out high-frequency market noise (short-term volatility). By analyzing the divergence between the fast and slow smoothing constants, the engine establishes a Directional Bias, ensuring that all subsequent signals are aligned with the dominant low-frequency trend vector. 2. Momentum Force (Volatility-Normalized Vector) Scientific Concept: Impulse & Magnitude. Description: Rather than simple price change, this component calculates the "Impulse" of price action relative to its recent volatility envelope. It measures the magnitude of the breakout vector, effectively distinguishing between low-energy "drift" (chop) and high-energy "expansion" (valid trends). 3. Cycle Phase Analysis (Harmonic State Detection) Scientific Concept: Phase Transition. Description: Markets move in oscillatory cycles of contraction and expansion. This module detects the specific harmonic phase of the current price action. It acts as a timing gate, validating entries only during the "Early Expansion" phase and suppressing signals during "Peak Saturation" (overbought/oversold extremes), preventing late entries. 4. Volume Flow Z-Score (Statistical Anomaly Detection) Scientific Concept: Standard Deviation & Gaussian Distribution. Description: This filter applies statistical normalization to volume data. By calculating the Z-Score (Standard Score) of incoming volume, the system identifies statistically significant deviations from the mean (Institutional Activity) while filtering out activity that falls within standard distribution (Retail Noise). Key Technical Features Real-time Market Telemetry: A custom-built Institutional Terminal displays live market states (Expansion vs. Range), bias vectors, and liquidity Z-scores. Includes a responsive "Mobile Mode" for cross-device compatibility. Variance-Based Risk Modeling: The engine automatically computes a Safety Threshold (Stop Loss) based on local volatility (ATR) and projects 7 distinct Profit Vectors based on a proprietary risk-to-reward ratio. Modular Visual Engine: A complete toggle system allows operators to enable/disable specific data layers (Signals, Vectors, Paint Bars) to maintain a clean workspace. State-Change Detection: The system actively monitors for "Polarity Flips" (failed setups), providing immediate visual feedback to exit or reverse positions. Why is this Invite-Only? This script relies on a proprietary "Black Box" architecture. The specific lookback periods, smoothing constants, and Z-score thresholds have been optimized and hardcoded to ensure statistical integrity. Access is restricted to protect the intellectual property of the algorithm's internal weighting system. Disclaimer This tool is strictly for educational and quantitative analysis purposes. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This is not financial advice.

Adaptive ER-Supertrend StrategyDescription: This strategy is an advanced trend-following system that evolves the classic Supertrend concept by adding dynamic volatility adjustment and multi-stage signal filtering. Core Logic: Efficiency Scaling: Instead of a static multiplier, this script calculates the Kaufman Efficiency Ratio (ER). The multiplier is dynamically adjusted: in trending markets (high ER), the bands tighten; in choppy markets (low ER), the bands expand to reduce noise. Price Hysteresis: To prevent "whipsaws" during minor pullbacks, a 0.5% buffer zone is integrated into the trend detection. The trend only flips when price closes beyond this buffer. Execution Filters: - Trend Filter: Optional MA filter (supporting SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, RMA, and ALMA) to ensure trading with the trend. - Momentum Filter: MACD signal cross-confirmation. - Liquidity Filter: Volume must be above its 50-period moving average (default) to validate the breakout. Optimization: Specifically tuned for ETHUSD on the 4H timeframe.

Sequential - Heatmap [R2D2]The Professional Edge in Trend Exhaustion In a market environment saturated with noise, the most valuable tool for a trader is clarity. Standard trend-following indicators often lag, and traditional reversal markers can be premature. The Sequential: Heatmap is a sophisticated trend-exhaustion indicator designed to identify precise market inflection points where a trend has reached its mathematical limit. By focusing on the Exhaustion Phase (counts 7, 8, and 9) and integrating Perfection Logic, this tool filters out "weak" setups, highlighting only the high-probability price flips that professional institutional traders watch. How It Works: The Logic of Exhaustion The Sequential operates on the principle of price symmetry. A "Setup" occurs when a series of at least nine consecutive bars close higher (for a Sell Setup) or lower (for a Buy Setup) than the close of the bar four periods prior. The "Perfected" Difference A standard 9-count is often not enough for a high-conviction entry. This publication-ready script includes Perfection Logic: Perfected Buy (9★) : The low of bar 8 or 9 must be lower than the lows of both bars 6 and 7. Perfected Sell (9★) : The high of bar 8 or 9 must be higher than the highs of both bars 6 and 7. This ensures that the final move in the sequence is a true "climax" before the reversal begins. Step-by-Step Usage Guide Step 1: Monitor the Heatmap As a trend develops, the bars will remain standard. Once the sequence hits count 7, the Heatmap Gradient activates. Faint Color: Momentum is beginning to stretch. Deep Saturated Color: The trend is entering the danger zone for a reversal. Step 2: Identify the 9★ Completion Wait for the number 9 to appear. If a star (★) is attached, the setup is "Perfected". This is your primary signal that the current move is mathematically overextended. Step 3: Define Your Risk with Risk Lines Upon completion of a 9-count, the script draws a solid thin horizontal line: Green Line (Resistance) : The ceiling of the move. Use this as a profit target for longs or a hard stop for shorts. Red Line (Support) : The floor of the move. Use this as a profit target for shorts or a hard stop for longs. Trading Like a Pro: Strategies for Success To use this tool effectively at a professional level, follow these three core tenets: Don’t Front-Run the 9 : Amateur traders often try to "guess" the reversal at count 5 or 6. Professionals wait for the Perfected 9 to close. The heatmap is designed to keep you patient. The "Risk Line" Breaker : If price closes beyond a Risk Line (e.g., closes above the green resistance line), the exhaustion has failed, and a "Setup Trend Extension" is occurring. In this case, exit your reversal trade immediately; the trend is stronger than the exhaustion. Confluence with Higher Timeframes : A Perfected 9 on a 15-minute chart is strong; a Perfected 9 on a 15-minute chart that aligns with a 4-hour Risk Line is institutional grade.

Opit78 Auto Overbalance & FiboThis is a comprehensive automated tool for Market Geometry and Fibonacci Analysis. It combines the classic Overbalance (1:1) methodology with a fully automated, dynamic Fibonacci Grid to help traders identify high-probability reversal zones, trend continuations, and price targets. The indicator automatically detects the main market structure using a ZigZag algorithm and then projects key levels based on the most recent active swing. 核心 Features (Key Features): 1. Auto Overbalance (1:1 Geometry) The indicator scans the current trend to find the largest correction that has occurred within the active impulse. It projects a Gray Box (Pattern) representing this largest historical correction. It projects a Colored Box (Support/Resistance) at the current price action. Green Box: Support Zone in an Uptrend. Red Box: Resistance Zone in a Downtrend. Trading Logic: As long as the price respects this box, the trend is considered valid. A breakout suggests a potential trend reversal (Overbalance condition). 2. Dynamic Fibonacci Grid Automatically draws Fibonacci levels from the start (Point A) to the end (Point B) of the current ZigZag leg. Retracements: Includes standard levels like 38.2%, 50.0%, and the "Golden Pocket" 61.8% to catch pullbacks. Extensions & Targets: Includes negative levels -27.2% and -61.8% to help identify Take Profit zones after a breakout. Deep Levels: Includes 127.2% and 161.8% to identify potential "Stop Hunts" or exhaustion points (False Breakouts). 3. Smart Visualization & Customization Clean Charts: Optimized rendering ensures crisp lines and boxes on live candles without visual clutter or stacking artifacts. Full Control: You can toggle every Fibonacci level individually. Style Options: Customize line styles (Solid, Dotted, Dashed), colors, and line thickness. Color Modes: Choose between independent colors or "Match Trend" mode, where Fibonacci lines automatically adapt to the bullish (Green) or bearish (Red) market structure. How to Use: Trend Continuation: Look for confluence. If the price pulls back into the Colored Overbalance Box and aligns with a key Fibonacci level (e.g., 50% or 61.8%), this is a strong zone to look for trend-following entries. Targeting: If the trend resumes and breaks the recent high/low, use the -27.2% and -61.8% extension lines as potential profit-taking levels. Trend Reversal: If the price closes firmly beyond the Overbalance Box (breaking the 1:1 geometry), the current trend may be over. Settings: ZigZag Sensitivity: Adjust Depth, Deviation, and Backstep to fit your timeframe. Visuals: Toggle Backgrounds, Borders, and Labels on/off to keep your chart clean. Fibo Levels: Enable or disable specific levels (e.g., turn off 23.6% if you only trade deep pullbacks).

TSM: Time-Series Momentum & Volatility Targeting [Moskowitz]TSM: Institutional Time-Series Momentum & Volatility Targeting (Moskowitz) SUMMARY TSM is a trend and risk-sizing indicator designed to convert price movement into a risk-adjusted regime signal and a single Recommended Exposure output. It addresses a common trend problem: direction can be correct while sizing is wrong during volatility expansions. Recommended Exposure is a signed value where positive indicates bullish bias and negative indicates bearish bias. The magnitude reflects confidence after the volatility and quality filters are applied. The engine combines volatility-scaled time-series momentum across multiple horizons with optional volatility targeting and an optional efficiency filter to reduce noise sensitivity and improve sizing discipline. WHAT THIS INDICATOR GIVES YOU A risk-adjusted momentum signal that is scaled by realized volatility rather than raw returns, so high-volatility noise is less likely to look like strong trend. An optional volatility targeting layer that mechanically scales Recommended Exposure down when realized volatility rises and up when it falls, capped by Max Leverage. An ensemble approach using fast, medium, and slow horizons with configurable weights, reducing dependence on a single lookback and lowering curve-fitting risk. An optional R-squared efficiency filter that reduces exposure in choppy, low-quality trends, with a floor to avoid over-suppressing exposure. Optional workflow features including a dashboard, trend cloud bands, threshold-based signals with cooldown, and alerts. SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION (PLAIN ENGLISH) Time-Series Momentum (Moskowitz, Ooi, Pedersen 2012) describes the empirical tendency for an asset’s own past returns to predict its future returns in expectation, distinct from cross-sectional momentum which compares assets to each other. Volatility clustering means markets alternate between calm and violent regimes; many traditional trend tools misread volatility shocks as sustainable trend. This indicator normalizes momentum by realized volatility to express trend significance relative to the regime. Volatility targeting (Harvey et al. 2018) scales exposure inversely to realized volatility to stabilize risk. When volatility rises, recommended exposure is reduced mechanically; when volatility falls, exposure can increase, subject to a max leverage cap. DATA AND SOURCES This indicator uses only the chart symbol’s OHLC data. No external feeds, no COT libraries, and no third-party data sources are required. It supports multi-timeframe calculation. You can compute the signal on the current chart timeframe, or use a fixed timeframe such as Daily to keep volatility math consistent when viewing intraday charts. HOW THE ENGINE WORKS (HIGH LEVEL) Step 1 estimates realized volatility from log returns over a chosen lookback. Step 2 computes a volatility-scaled momentum statistic for three horizons (fast, medium, slow) to measure how meaningful the move is relative to volatility. Step 3 clamps extreme values so outliers do not dominate. Step 4 combines the horizons into a weighted ensemble. Step 5 optionally applies an efficiency filter to reduce exposure in choppy trends. Step 6 optionally applies volatility targeting to scale exposure inversely with realized annualized volatility, capped by Max Leverage. The final output is Recommended Exposure as the combined result of direction, risk scaling, and quality filtering. OUTPUTS AND HOW USERS SHOULD APPLY THEM Recommended Exposure is the primary output. Positive values indicate bullish regime bias, negative values indicate bearish regime bias, and larger magnitude indicates higher risk-adjusted conviction after filters. Typical use is as a position-sizing overlay: keep your own entry method and use Recommended Exposure to decide how aggressive or defensive sizing should be in the current regime. Signals are optional and trigger when Recommended Exposure crosses user-defined thresholds. A cooldown reduces repeated triggers during consolidations, and direction can be restricted to long only, short only, or both. The dashboard is optional and displays realized volatility versus target, ensemble momentum, the efficiency metric, the volatility scalar, the quality multiplier, and final Recommended Exposure, including the fast/medium/slow breakdown. Trend cloud bands are optional and provide range context; they are not the signal and are intended as visual regime support. SETTINGS GUIDE (WHAT MATTERS MOST) Fixed Timeframe mode is recommended for consistent volatility math across chart timeframes; Current Chart mode is more sensitive to the displayed timeframe. Momentum horizons control responsiveness versus stability. Shorter lookbacks react faster but whipsaw more; longer lookbacks are smoother but slower. Weights allow emphasizing fast responsiveness or slow regime confirmation. Volatility targeting turns the tool into a sizing engine by scaling exposure inversely to realized volatility. Target annualized volatility sets the risk budget, and the annualization basis (365 vs 252) aligns conventions for crypto versus traditional markets. Max Leverage caps the scalar in very low-volatility regimes. The efficiency filter reduces exposure in choppy conditions; the floor controls how harshly exposure is reduced. Threshold and cooldown control how selective discrete signals are. LIMITATIONS (IMPORTANT FOR USERS) This is a trend-following framework, so it will lag turning points by design. Sideways markets can still cause whipsaws; cooldown and the efficiency filter may reduce but cannot eliminate this. Volatility targeting can reduce drawdowns during volatility expansions but may reduce participation during sharp V-shaped reversals after volatility increases. The efficiency metric is a practical proxy for trend straightness and can misclassify certain price paths. REFERENCES Moskowitz, T. J., Ooi, Y. H., and Pedersen, L. H. (2012). Time series momentum.

DCA VIX Fear GaugeThis indicator displays the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), known as the "fear gauge," in a separate pane below your chart, scaled to provide a comparable view to price movements. It assists in gauging market sentiment: elevated VIX levels often reflect heightened fear and volatility, while lower levels indicate complacency. The line dynamically changes color based on VIX thresholds (green for low volatility (<20), orange for moderate (20-30), and red for high fear (>30)) offering visual cues for potential market shifts or trading opportunities (e.g., high VIX may highlight panic-driven dips in equities). Usage : Suitable for indices like SPX or forex pairs. Optimal on daily/weekly timeframes; VIX updates during US market hours. Inputs : 'Scaling Lookback Period' fine-tunes alignment with price data (higher values for broader context). Limitations : VIX represents implied volatility for the S&P 500; data may hold steady on non-trading days. For informational use only (integrate with additional analysis). Tested on: SPX, NDX (scales automatically to fit the pane).

Rapid Trend MappingRapid Trend Mapping – Structural Context & Market Intelligence Engine Rapid Trend Mapping is a market-structure intelligence engine designed to answer one core trading question: “Where should I be looking for trades?” This indicator is intentionally not an entry system. It does not generate buy or sell signals. Its role is to define structure, directional bias, and high-probability Areas of Interest (POIs) so that trade execution can be performed using a separate entry or trigger-based tool. The workflow is deliberately professional and sequential: Structure → Bias → POI → Entry Conceptual Foundation (Why this is not a mashup) Rapid Trend Mapping is not a combination of unrelated tools such as trend lines, Fibonacci, or Fair Value Gaps. Every component in this script is structurally dependent on the previous one: IC defines the active price container Legs validate real structural extremes Confirmations anchor directional bias Flip logic re-anchors structure when violated FVGs are scanned only inside valid structure Fibonacci zones constrain FVG relevance No element operates independently. Removing one breaks the entire model. This dependency chain is what differentiates Rapid Trend Mapping from traditional structure or FVG indicators. 1. IC (Independent Candle) The IC represents the first meaningful expansion of price after indecision. An IC is formed when price breaks the previous candle’s high or low, establishing an initial directional hypothesis. From that point: IC High and IC Low define the active price container Expansion is wick-aware, not close-dependent IC remains active until a valid continuation or reversal occurs This mirrors real market behavior, where price expands, retraces, and re-expands before committing to direction. 2. Legs (Validated Market Swings) Legs represent confirmed structural extremes , not random highs or lows. A leg is printed only when price forces a directional decision. The engine maintains only the two most recent valid legs, mirroring how experienced traders track structure in real time. Special handling is built in for: Short legs near reversal zones Wick-based liquidity raids Temporary compression before expansion This prevents premature structure shifts and keeps the model aligned with live market conditions. 3. Confirmed Trend (Directional Authority) Trend confirmation occurs only after structure is violated: Breaking a black High confirms a bullish (green) Low Breaking a black Low confirms a bearish (red) High Once confirmed: The trend level becomes the authoritative directional bias IC and leg logic continue updating in the background Trend remains active until structurally invalidated This prevents early bias changes and filters out market noise. 4. Flip Logic (Advanced Structural Re-Anchoring) Flip logic is intentionally separate from confirmation logic. When a confirmed trend level is violated, the engine performs a local structural scan from the last confirmation point and identifies the true highest high or lowest low formed during that period. The new trend anchor is placed at the actual extreme , not a cached or assumed level. This ensures: Trend flips align with real liquidity extremes Anchors reflect true market intent No repainting or hindsight bias Market Realism & Sophistication Rapid Trend Mapping is designed to behave like the market, not like textbook diagrams. Key characteristics: Wick-aware structural decisions Double-raid protection to prevent instability IC expansion control without corrupting confirmed structure Natural signal reduction during ranging conditions Periods of reduced output are intentional and protective. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Intelligence FVGs are not plotted globally or historically. They are detected only: Inside the active structural window After trend confirmation Within the current swing range Additional filtering is applied using Fibonacci boundaries: Bullish FVGs appear only in valid discount zones Bearish FVGs appear only in valid premium zones Optional pre-scan captures early imbalances near confirmation This removes clutter and focuses attention on actionable POIs , not historical artifacts. Recommended Usage Higher Timeframe (Context) Use on 4H, Daily, or Weekly charts to define: Structural bias Key POIs Premium and discount zones Lower Timeframe (Execution) Once price reaches a higher-timeframe POI, drop to lower timeframes and execute using a separate entry indicator. This resolves the common problem of having entries without directional context. Final Notes Rapid Trend Mapping is a structural intelligence layer . It does not chase price. It does not predict reversals. It does not force trades. It reads market intent, adapts to real-time behavior, and guides traders to where attention should be focused. When combined with a precise execution tool, it forms a complete professional trading framework aligned with real market structure. Release Notes Latest Update – Fibonacci Zone Refinement Both the RAW FVG engine and the Pre-Scan FVG engine have been enhanced. Previously, FVGs were filtered using a single Fibonacci boundary. This update introduces a dual-boundary Fibonacci zone , meaning: FVGs are now displayed only when fully contained between two user-defined Fibonacci levels This applies consistently to both bullish and bearish trends The logic correctly inverts between uptrends and downtrends This refinement significantly improves POI precision and removes structurally invalid gaps. Disclaimer This indicator is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. Rapid Trend Mapping does not provide buy or sell signals and should not be interpreted as financial, investment, or trading advice. Trading financial markets involves significant risk. Past performance, structural behavior, or historical patterns do not guarantee future results. Losses may exceed expectations. This tool assists with market structure analysis, directional context, and POI identification only. All trading decisions, execution, and risk management remain the sole responsibility of the user. Do not trade capital you cannot afford to lose.

Opit78 Auto OverbalanceThis script is an automated tool for market geometry analysis based on the Overbalance (1:1) methodology. It is designed to identify trend strength and potential reversal zones. The indicator automatically detects the main trend direction and scans the current price movement to find the largest correction that has occurred within the current impulse (market structure). According to technical analysis principles, as long as the largest correction holds, the trend is considered valid. What the indicator shows: ZigZag Line: Visualizes the main trend direction connecting key swing highs and lows. Gray Box (Pattern): Marks the historically largest correction found within the current swing. This serves as the reference pattern. Colored Box (OB Projection): This is the geometry zone projected from the current extreme. Green Box: Overbalance Support Zone (in an Uptrend). Red Box: Overbalance Resistance Zone (in a Downtrend). How to interpret: Trend Continuation: If the price pulls back to the colored box and respects it (bounces), it indicates the trend is strong and the 1:1 geometry holds. Potential Reversal: If the price breaks through the colored box (closes below it in an uptrend or above it in a downtrend), it signals a break of the largest correction (Overbalance), suggesting a potential trend reversal.

LOTS: Zone Interception EngineA high-performance institutional confluence tracker using dynamic array-based price segmentation to identify and track overlapping order blocks in real-time. Overview The Liquidity & Overlap Tracking System (LOTS) is an advanced order flow diagnostic tool built for Pine Script v6. Unlike conventional supply and demand indicators that rely on static pivot points, LOTS utilizes a proprietary Dual-Rule Validation process to identify displacement zones and a high-performance Interception Engine to find price-level confluence. The Methodology To ensure high-signal accuracy, the script tracks price action through two distinct algorithmic rules: Rule 1: Displacement Identification – Detects immediate institutional "footprints" where price displacement creates a clear imbalance. Rule 2: Expansion & Liquidity Tracking – A rolling-window logic that monitors price expansion and updates the zone boundaries dynamically until a counter-displacement occurs. Key Innovation: The Interception Engine The primary utility of this script—and what differentiates it from open-source alternatives—is its Intra-Side Interception Algorithm. Array-Based Processing: The script maintains real-time arrays of active zones. Mathematical Set Intersection: For every new bar, the engine performs a cross-calculation between all active zones of the same side (Buy+Buy or Sell+Sell). Confluence Mapping: When two or more zones occupy the same price range, the script calculates the exact Intersection Set and renders a "Confluence Zone." This highlights "stacked" institutional orders where multiple order flow signals align, providing a much higher probability of a price reaction. Technical Features & Optimization Dynamic Pruning: To maintain chart clarity and performance, zones are automatically removed from the calculation array once price action mitigates the zone (closes beyond the extremity). V6 Performance: Optimized for the latest Pine Script engine to handle complex nested loops efficiently, even with a high Calculation Depth. Visual Clarity: Includes an "Only Confluence" mode which filters out single zones to display only the high-density interception areas. How to Use Gray/Red Zones: Primary displacement zones (potential supply/demand). High-Opacity Overlaps: These are the Interceptions. Look for these areas as high-probability reversal or continuation points where institutional liquidity is most concentrated.

BTC Cycle Toolkit v1.1.1 (EN) | by Nickxs91Short Description: A long-term Bitcoin cycle toolkit built around Halvings: historical top/low anchors, current-cycle candidate/lock logic, laddered buy/sell levels with backtesting — plus a Daily-based Pi Cycle Top signal as an optional additional criterion. Full Description: What is this? This script is designed primarily as a Bitcoin cycle visualization & planning toolkit based on Halvings (4-year cycle thesis). It helps you build a structured plan for buying and selling over time depending on where price might be positioned inside the cycle. What you get on the chart Halving markers (vertical lines) + optional labels, countdown and reminders Fixed historical cycle tops & lows as horizontal reference anchors (~rounded values) Current cycle (post Halving 2024) auto-detection: Top candidate (High-since-Halving or Pivot-based) Robust lock logic for top and low (prevents locking too early) Candidate vs Locked displayed clearly Buy/Sell ladder levels 3–10 levels, fully adjustable ranges (drawdown zone / growth zone) Linear or exponential sizing (“the deeper, the more” / “the higher, the more”) Labels show price and allocation (optionally estimated amount) Backtesting strategy Auto multi-cycle mode or manual single-cycle segments Optional “institutional-style” filters (trend/RSI/volume) Pi Cycle Top (Daily-based) Stable across all timeframes (computed on Daily) Optional: if Pi triggers, sell the remaining position (“Exit All”) Important note about Pi Cycle Top The Pi Cycle Top indicator can be very accurate when it triggers, but it does not trigger in every cycle. I personally treat it as an additional criterion, not the only definition of a cycle top. Who is this for? Long-term BTC investors who think in cycles Traders/investors who prefer laddered entries/exits instead of all-in/all-out Anyone who wants a structured way to “map” price behavior around Halvings Disclaimer This is a research/visualization tool — not financial advice. Markets evolve; historical cycles are not guarantees. Backtest results are approximations and include conservative costs. Roadmap I plan to continue improving features based on feedback. Suggestions are welcome. Nice to know: There is a German version (private). How to use (Quick workflow) Use 1D timeframe for the cleanest cycle context Keep preset Conservative (release default) or Custom for own preferences. Enable Halvings + historical anchors Choose auto method (Pivot = more stable, HighSinceHalving = faster) Set level count & ranges (e.g., 7 levels) Backtest via Auto Multi-Cycle or Manual segment Optional: enable Pi Cycle “Exit All” as an extra top-risk reduction layer
