Trend Analysis

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations. The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves. What Makes This Different? Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further: Multi-Stage Tracking Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session. Active Trade Management When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes. Cycle Detection Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry). Failed Breakout Warning If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade. Position Sizing Calculator Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations. Advanced Filtering Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate. Core Features Explained ### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels: ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile) ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular) ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable) ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed) Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each. How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage. ### 2. Breakout Detection When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears: BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts. Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get. ### 3. Retest Detection After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates: The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout Confirmation that the level is significant The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings). ### 4. Failed Breakout Detection If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange. This warns you: The breakout lacked conviction Consider exiting if already in the trade Wait for better setup Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested. ### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management) When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing: Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level) Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark. Lines freeze (stop updating) when: Stop loss is hit The final enabled take-profit is hit End of trading session (optional setting) ### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information: Current ORB stage and range size Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down) Volume confirmation (if filter enabled) Trend alignment (if filter enabled) Entry and Stop Loss prices All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages Risk/Reward ratio Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount Position Sizing Example: If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500). ### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap) Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa). When enabled, this filter: Detects bullish and bearish FVGs Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable. Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default. ### 8. Volume & Trend Filters Volume Filter: Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain. Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average) Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters Dashboard shows current volume ratio Trend Filter: Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from: VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering ### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced) Purpose: Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal. This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals. How it works: - After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%) - Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed - If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway Settings: Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced) Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard) When to use: - Choppy markets with many fake breakouts - When you want higher quality signals - Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation Trade-off: - Better signal quality - May miss some valid fast moves - Slight entry delay How to Use This Indicator ### For Beginners - Simple Setup Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended) Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy Basic Trading Plan: Wait for a clear breakout label Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late) Place stop loss where the red line indicates Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%) ### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30) Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets) Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones) Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing Advanced Strategy Example: Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart) Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x Enable Trend filter using VWAP Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction) Enter on retest if you missed the initial break ### Timeframe Recommendations 5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto 15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular) 30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time 60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

that's when ORB is forming Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective ### Position Sizing Best Practices Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size Update your account size monthly as it grows Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling ### Take Profit Strategy Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2 Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3 Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward) After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days ### Filter Combinations Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality) Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency) Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality) Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto) Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter) ### Common Mistakes to Avoid Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU ## Pros and Cons ### Advantages Complete all-in-one solution - from signal to position sizing Multiple timeframes tracked simultaneously Visual clarity - easy to see what's happening Cycle tracking catches opportunities others miss Built-in risk management eliminates guesswork Customizable filters for different trading styles No repainting - what you see is locked in Works across multiple markets (stocks, forex, crypto) ### Limitations Intraday strategy only - doesn't work on daily charts Requires active monitoring during first 1-2 hours of session Not suitable for after-hours or extended sessions by default Can produce many signals in choppy markets (use filters) Dashboard can be overwhelming for complete beginners Performance depends on market conditions (trends vs ranges) Requires understanding of risk management concepts ### Best For Day traders who can watch the first 1-2 hours of market open Traders who want systematic entry/exit rules Those learning proper position sizing and risk management Active traders comfortable with multiple signals per day Anyone trading liquid instruments with clear sessions ### Not Ideal For Swing traders holding multi-day positions Set-and-forget / passive investors Traders who can't watch market open Complete beginners unfamiliar with trading concepts Low volume / illiquid instruments ## Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why are no signals appearing? A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily. Q: What's the best ORB stage to use? A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together. Q: Should I enable all the filters? A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals. Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use? A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk. Q: Can I use this for swing trading? A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead. Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes? A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete. Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"? A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart. Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex? A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually. Q: How much capital do I need to use this? A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital. Q: Can I backtest this strategy? A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic. Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label? A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup. Q: What's a good win rate to expect? A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates. Q: Does this work on crypto? A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC). ## Credits & Transparency ### Development This indicator was developed with the assistance of AI technology to implement complex ORB trading logic.

Adaptive Trend SelectorThe Adaptive Trend Selector is a comprehensive trend-following tool designed to automatically identify the optimal moving average crossover strategy. It features adjustable parameters and an integrated backtester that delivers institutional-grade insights into the recommended strategy. The model continuously adapts to new data in real time by evaluating multiple moving average combinations, determining the best performing lengths, and presenting the backtest results in a clear, color-coded table that benchmarks performance against the buy-and-hold strategy. At its core, the model systematically backtests a wide range of moving average combinations to identify the configuration that maximizes the selected optimization metric. Users can choose to optimize for absolute returns or risk-adjusted returns using the Sharpe, Sortino, or Calmar ratios. Alternatively, users can enable manual optimization to test custom fast and slow moving average lengths and view the corresponding backtest results. The label displays the Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of the strategy, with the buy-and-hold CAGR in parentheses for comparison. The table presents the backtest results based on the fast and slow lengths displayed at the top: Sharpe = CAGR per unit of standard deviation. Sortino = CAGR per unit of downside deviation. Calmar = CAGR relative to maximum drawdown. Max DD = Largest peak-to-trough decline in value. Beta (β) = Return sensitivity relative to buy-and-hold. Alpha (α) = Excess annualized risk-adjusted returns. Win Rate = Ratio of profitable trades to total trades. Profit Factor = Total gross profit per unit of losses. Expectancy = Average expected return per trade. Trades/Year = Average number of trades per year. This indicator is designed with flexibility in mind, enabling users to specify the start date of the backtesting period and the preferred moving average strategy. Supported strategies include the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Wilder’s Moving Average (RMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), and Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). To minimize overfitting, users can define constraints such as a minimum and maximum number of trades per year, as well as an optional optimization margin that prioritizes longer, more robust combinations by requiring shorter-length strategies to exceed this threshold. The table follows an intuitive color logic that enables quick performance comparison against buy-and-hold (B&H): Sharpe = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Sortino = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Calmar = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Max DD = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Beta (β) = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Alpha (α) = Green indicates above 0%, while red indicates below 0%. Win Rate = Green indicates above 50%, while red indicates below 50%. Profit Factor = Green indicates above 2, while red indicates below 1. Expectancy = Green indicates above 0%, while red indicates below 0%. In summary, the Adaptive Trend Selector is a powerful tool designed to help investors make data-driven decisions when selecting moving average crossover strategies. By optimizing for risk-adjusted returns, investors can confidently identify the best lengths using institutional-grade metrics. While results are based on the selected historical period, users should be mindful of potential overfitting, as past results may not persist under future market conditions. Since the model recalibrates to incorporate new data, the recommended lengths may evolve over time.

Better DEMAThe Better DEMA is a new tool designed to recreate the classical moving average DEMA, into a smoother, more reliable tool. Combining many methodologies, this script offers users a unique insight into market behavior. How does it work? First, to get a smoother signal, we need to calculate the Gaussian filter. A Gaussian filter is a smoothing filter that reduces noise and detail by averaging data with weights following a Gaussian (bell-shaped) curve. Now that we have the source, we will calculate the following: n2 = n/2 (half of the user defined length) a = 2/(1+n) ns Now that we have that out of the way, it is time to get into the core. Now we calculate 2 EMAs: slow EMA => EMA over n fast EMA => EMA over n2 period Rather then now doing this: DEMA = fast EMA * 2 - slow EMA I found this to be better: DEMA = slow EMA * (1-a) + fast EMA * a As a last touch I took a little something from the HMA, and used a EMA with period of √n to smooth the entire the thing. The Trend condition at base is the following (but feel free to FAFO with it): Long = dema > dema yesterday and dema < src Short = dema < dema yesterday and dema > src Methodology While the DEMA is an amazing tool used in many great indicators, it can be far too noisy. This made me test out many filters, out of which the Gaussian performed best. Then I tried out the non subtractive approach and that worked too, as it made it smoother. Compacting on all I learned and smoothing it bit by bit, I think I can say this is worth looking into :). Use cases: Following Trends => classic, effective :) Smoothing sources for other indicators => if done well enough, could be useful :) Easy trend visualization => Added extra options for that. Strategy development => Yes Another good thing is it does not a high lookback period, so it should be better and less overfit. That is all for today Gs, Have fun and enjoy!

Trend Pivot Retracements▶ OVERVIEW Trend Pivot Retracements identifies market trend direction using a Donchian-style channel and dynamically highlights retracement zones during trending conditions. It calculates the percentage pullbacks from recent highs and lows, plots labeled zones with varying intensity, and visually connects key retracement pivots. The indicator also emphasizes price proximity to trend boundaries by dynamically adjusting the thickness of plotted trend bands. ▶ TREND DETECTION & BAND STRUCTURE The indicator determines the current trend by checking for new 50-bar extremes: Uptrend: If a new highest high is made, the trend is considered bullish. Downtrend: If a new lowest low is made, the trend is considered bearish. Uptrend Band: Plots the 50-bar lowest low as a trailing support level. Downtrend Band: Plots the 50-bar highest high as a trailing resistance level. Thickness Variation: The thickness of the band increases the further price moves from it, indicating overextension. ▶ RETRACEMENT LABELING SYSTEM During a trend, the indicator monitors pivot points in the opposite direction to measure retracements: Bullish Retracement: Triggered when a pivot low forms during an uptrend. Measures % pullback from the most recent swing high (searched up to 20 bars back). Plots a bold horizontal line at the low and a dashed diagonal from the previous swing high. Adds a “-%” label above the low; intensity is based on recent 50 pullbacks. Bearish Retracement: Triggered when a pivot high forms during a downtrend. Measures % pullback from the previous swing low (up to 20 bars back). Plots a bold horizontal line at the high and a dashed diagonal from the prior swing low. Adds a “%” label below the high with gradient color based on the past 50 extremes. ▶ PIVOT CONNECTION LINES Each retracement includes a visual connector: A diagonal dashed line linking the swing extreme (20 bars back) to the retracement point. This line visually traces the path of price retreat within the trend. Helps traders understand where the retracement originated and how steep it was. ▶ TREND SWITCH SIGNALS When trend direction changes: A diamond marker is plotted on the new pivot confirming the trend shift. Green diamonds signal new bullish trends at fresh lows. Magenta diamonds signal new bearish trends at fresh highs. ▶ COLOR INTENSITY & CONTEXTUAL AWARENESS To help interpret the magnitude of retracements: The % labels are color-coded using a gradient scale that references the max of the last 50 pullbacks. Stronger pullbacks result in deeper color intensity, signaling more significant corrections. Trend bands also use standard deviation normalization to adjust line thickness based on how far price has moved from the band. This creates a visual cue for potential exhaustion or volatility extremes. ▶ USAGE Trend Pivot Retracements is a powerful tool for traders who want to: Identify trend direction and contextual pullbacks within those trends. Spot key retracement points that may serve as entry opportunities or reversal signals. Use visual retracement angles to understand market pressure and trend maturity. Read dynamic band thickness as an alert for price stretch, potential mean reversion, or breakout setups. ▶ CONCLUSION Trend Pivot Retracements gives traders a clean, visually expressive way to monitor trending markets, while capturing and labeling meaningful retracements. With adaptive color intensity, diagonal connectors, and smart trend switching, it enhances situational awareness and provides immediate clarity on trend health and pullback strength.

Volume Order Block Scanner [BOSWaves]Volume Order Block Scanner - Dynamic Detection of High-Volume Supply and Demand Zones Overview The Volume Order Block Scanner introduces a refined approach to institutional zone mapping, combining volume-weighted order flow, structural displacement, and ATR-based proportionality to identify regions of aggressive participation from large entities. Unlike static zone mapping or simplistic body-size filters, this framework dynamically evaluates each candle through a multi-layer model of relative volume, candle structure, and volatility context to isolate genuine order block formations while filtering out market noise. Each identified zone represents a potential institutional footprint, defined by significant volume surges and efficient body-to-ATR relationships that indicate purposeful positioning. Once mapped, each order block is dynamically adjusted for volatility and tracked throughout its lifecycle - from creation to mitigation to potential invalidation - producing an evolving liquidity map that adapts with price. This adaptive behavior allows traders to visualize where liquidity was absorbed and where it remains unfilled, revealing the structural foundation of institutional intent across timeframes. Theoretical Foundation At its core, the Volume Order Block Scanner is built on the interaction between volume displacement and structural imbalance. Traditional order block systems often rely on fixed candle formations or simple engulfing logic, neglecting the fundamental driver of institutional activity: volume concentration relative to volatility. This framework redefines that approach. Each candle is filtered through two comparative ratios: Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) - the candle’s volume compared to its rolling average, confirming genuine transactional surges. Body-ATR Ratio (BAR) - a measure of displacement efficiency relative to recent volatility, ensuring structural strength. Only when both conditions align is an order block validated, marking a displacement event significant enough to create a lasting imbalance. By embedding this logic within a volatility-adjusted environment, the system maintains scalability across asset classes and volatility regimes - equally effective in crypto, forex, or index markets. How It Works The Volume Order Block Scanner operates through a structured multi-stage process: Displacement Detection - Identifies candles whose body and volume exceed dynamic thresholds derived from ATR and rolling volume averages. These represent the origin points of institutional aggression. Zone Construction - Each qualified candle generates an order block with ATR-proportional dimensions to ensure consistency across instruments and timeframes. The zone includes two regions: Body Zone (the precise initiation point of displacement) and Wick Imbalance (the residual inefficiency representing unfilled liquidity). Lifecycle Tracking - Each zone is continuously monitored for market interaction. Reactions within a defined window are classified as respected, mitigated, or invalidated, giving traders a data-driven sense of ongoing institutional relevance. Volume Confirmation Layer - Reinforces signal integrity by ensuring that all detected blocks correspond with meaningful increases in transactional activity. Temporal Decay Control - Zones that remain untested beyond a set period gradually lose visual and analytical weight, maintaining chart clarity and contextual precision. Interpretation The Volume Order Block Scanner visualizes how institutional participants interact with the market through zones of accumulation and distribution. Bullish order blocks denote demand imbalances where price displaced upward under high volume; bearish order blocks signify supply regions formed by concentrated selling pressure. Price revisiting these areas often reflects institutional re-entry or liquidity rebalancing, offering actionable insights for both continuation and reversal scenarios. By continuously monitoring interaction and expiry, the framework enables traders to distinguish between active institutional footprints and historical liquidity artifacts. Strategy Integration The Volume Order Block Scanner integrates naturally into advanced structural and order-flow methodologies: Liquidity Mapping : Identify high-volume regions that are likely to influence future price reactions. Break-of-Structure Confirmation : Validate BOS and CHOCH signals through aligned order block behavior. Volume Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves volume or momentum indicators to confirm real institutional intent. Smart-Money Frameworks : Utilize order block retests as precision entry zones within SMC-based setups. Trend Continuation : Filter zones in line with higher-timeframe bias to maintain directional integrity. Technical Implementation Details Core Engine : Dual-filter mechanism using Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) and Body-ATR Ratio (BAR). Volatility Framework : ATR-based scaling for cross-asset proportionality. Zone Composition : Body and wick regions plotted independently for visual clarity of imbalance. Lifecycle Logic : Real-time monitoring of reaction, mitigation, and invalidation states. Directional Coloring : Distinct bullish and bearish shading with adjustable transparency. Computation Efficiency : Lightweight structure suitable for multi-timeframe or multi-asset environments. Optimal Application Parameters Timeframe Guidance: 5m - 15m : Reactive intraday zones for short-term liquidity engagement. 1H - 4H : Medium-term structures for swing or intraday trend mapping. Daily - Weekly : Macro accumulation and distribution footprints. Suggested Configuration: Relative Volume Threshold : 1.5× - 2.0× average volume. Body-ATR Threshold : 0.8× - 1.2× for valid displacement. Zone Expiry : 5 - 10 bars for intraday use, 15 - 30 for swing/macro contexts. Parameter optimization should be asset-specific, tuned to volatility conditions and liquidity depth. Performance Characteristics High Effectiveness: Markets exhibiting clear displacement and directional flow. Environments with consistent volume expansion and liquidity inefficiencies. Reduced Effectiveness: Range-bound markets with frequent false impulses. Low-volume sessions lacking institutional participation. Integration Guidelines Confluence Framework : Pair with structure-based BOS or liquidity tools for validation. Risk Management : Treat active order blocks as contextual areas of interest, not guaranteed reversal points. Multi-Timeframe Logic : Derive bias from higher-timeframe blocks and execute from refined lower-timeframe structures. Volume Verification : Confirm each reaction with concurrent volume acceleration to avoid false liquidity cues. Disclaimer The Volume Order Block Scanner is a quantitative mapping framework designed for professional traders and analysts. It is not a predictive or guaranteed system of profit. Performance depends on correct configuration, market conditions, and disciplined risk management. BOSWaves recommends using this indicator as part of a comprehensive analytical process - integrating structural, volume, and liquidity context for accurate interpretation.

FU Candle Detector (Smart Money Concept) En Anglais🧠 Overall concept: “FU Candle” in Smart Money logic In the context of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or ICT (Inner Circle Trader), an FU Candle (also known as a “Fakeout Candle” or “Manipulation Candle”) is a candle that: Creates an imbalance or a break (often above a swing high or below a swing low), Attracts liquidity by trapping retail traders (liquidity grab), Then abruptly reverses direction, revealing the hand of “Smart Money” (large institutions). It therefore often marks: The point of manipulation before an impulsive movement (reversal), An area of interest for entering in the institutional direction (after the liquidity grab). --- ⚙️ How the “FU Candle Detector” script works The script identifies these candlesticks by observing several typical criteria: 1. Detection of the manipulative candle (FU Candle) Search for a candlestick that breaks a previous swing (significant high or low), But closes in the opposite direction, often below/above the broken zone, Thus indicating a fakeout. Examples: Bullish FU Candle: breaks a previous low, but closes bullish. Bearish FU Candle: breaks a previous high, but closes bearish. --- 2. Visualization on the chart The script generally displays: 🔴 Red markers for bearish FUs (Fake Breakout upwards), 🟢 Green markers for bullish FUs (Fake Breakout downwards), 🟦 Rectangles of areas of interest (often around the FU Candle Open), 📏 Horizontal lines on areas of imbalance (OB/FVG if integrated). --- 3. Possible additions depending on the version Depending on the version you have received, the script can also: Detect Fair Value Gaps (FVG) around FU Candles, Mark Order Blocks (OB) associated with manipulation, Add alerts when new FU Candles are detected, Calculate the distance between the manipulation point and the price return, Filter according to candle size, volume, or market structure (MSB/CHoCH). --- 🎯 Practical use FU Candles are often used: As confirmation of an imminent reversal, To identify institutional entry zones (hidden Order Block), To anticipate the direction of the next impulse after the liquidity hunt. Typical entry example: > Wait for the formation of an FU Candle + price return within the candle body = entry in the opposite direction to the false breakout. 📈 Recommended combinations This detector is often combined with: Structure Break Indicator (CHoCH / BOS) Liquidity Pool Zones Fair Value Gap Finder Order Block Detector This gives you a complete Smart Money Concept system, capable of mapping: 1. Where liquidity has been taken, 2. Where the price is rebalancing, 3. Where Smart Money is repositioning its orders.

Volume Surge by MashrabThe "Volume Surge" indicator is like a simple market health checkup. It looks at how much of an asset (like a stock or crypto) is being traded right now and compares it to the recent past. Think of it as a way to quickly see if interest in that asset is suddenly spiking, fading, or staying the same. The indicator shows this information in an easy-to-read table right on your chart. How it works: The indicator keeps track of two main things for you: Current Volume: The total trading volume over the last "N" days (or whatever time period you choose). Previous Volume: The total trading volume over the period right before that Then, it gives you a summary: The "Ratio" tells you how many times bigger or smaller the current volume is. The "Percent Change" shows the percentage jump in volume. How to use it: This indicator helps you see when something interesting might be happening. Here are a few ways traders use it: Confirm Breakouts: If a stock breaks above a key price level and the indicator shows a huge volume surge, it’s a stronger signal that the move is real and not a false alarm. Spot Reversals: If a stock has been trending up but the volume starts to drop off, it could mean the trend is losing steam. A sudden, massive volume surge on a down day might indicate panic selling, which can sometimes happen right before the price turns around. Check Trend Strength: A healthy trend usually has increasing volume going in the same direction. For example, if a stock is in an uptrend, you want to see lots of volume on the days it goes up. This indicator isn't a crystal ball, but it's a great tool for understanding the "who" and "how much" behind a price move. It helps you see when a price change is backed by a lot of market activity, which often makes the move more trustworthy.

RBLR - GSK Vizag AP IndiaThis indicator identifies the Opening Range High (ORH) and Low (ORL) based on the first 15 minutes of the Indian equity market session (9:15 AM to 9:30 AM IST). It draws horizontal lines extending these levels until market close (3:30 PM IST) and generates visual signals for price breakouts above ORH or below ORL, as well as reversals back into the range. Key features: - **Range Calculation**: Captures the high and low during the opening period using real-time bar data. - **Line Extension**: Lines are dynamically extended bar-by-bar within the session for clear visualization. - **Signals**: - Green triangle up: Crossover above ORH (potential bullish breakout). - Red triangle down: Crossunder below ORL (potential bearish breakout). - Yellow labels: Reversals from breakout levels back into the range. - **Labels**: "RAM BAAN" marks the ORH (inspired by a precise arrow from the Ramayana), and "LAKSHMAN REKHA" marks the ORL (inspired by a protective boundary line from the same epic). - **Customization**: Toggle signals on/off and select line styles (Dotted, Dashed, Solid, or Smoothed, with transparency for Smoothed). The state-tracking logic prevents redundant signals by monitoring if price remains outside the range after a breakout. This helps users observe range-bound behavior or directional moves without built-in alerts. This indicator is particularly useful for day trading on longer intraday timeframes (e.g., 15-minute charts) to identify session-wide trends and avoid noise in shorter frames. For best results, apply on intraday timeframes on NSE/BSE symbols. Note that lines and labels are limited to the script's max counts to avoid performance issues on long histories. **Disclaimer**: This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice. Trading in financial markets involves significant risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Users should conduct their own research, consider their financial situation, and consult with qualified professionals before making any investment decisions.

SMC by ASHY-JAYASHY-JAY "Smart Money" refers to funds under the control of institutional investors, central banks, funds, market makers, and other financial entities. Ordinary people recognize investments made by those who have a deep understanding of market performance and possess information typically inaccessible to regular investors as "Smart Money". Consequently, when market movements often diverge from expectations, traders identify the footprints of smart money. For example, when a classic pattern forms in the market, traders take short positions. However, the market might move upward instead. They attribute this contradiction to smart money and seek to capitalize on such inconsistencies in their trades. The "Smart Money Concept" (SMC) is one of the primary styles of technical analysis that falls under the subset of "Price Action". Price action encompasses various subcategories, with one of the most significant being "Supply and Demand", in which SMC is categorized. The SMC method aims to identify trading opportunities by emphasizing the impact of large traders (Smart Money) on the market, offering specific patterns, techniques, and trading strategies. 🟣Key Terms of Smart Money Concept (SMC) • Market Structure (Trend) • Change of Character (ChoCh) • Break of Structure (BoS) • Order Blocks (Supply and Demand) • Imbalance (IMB) • Inefficiency (IFC) • Fair Value Gap (FVG) • Liquidity • Premium and Discount

TrendFlowTrendFlow is a visual trend analysis tool that helps identify changes in market direction and momentum. It uses three exponential moving averages (EMA 21, EMA 50, and EMA 200) to define short-, medium-, and long-term trend structure. A dynamic color fill highlights the relationship between the 21 and 50 EMAs: When EMA 21 is above EMA 50, a green fill indicates upward momentum. When EMA 21 is below EMA 50, a red fill shows downward momentum. The EMA 200 line adapts its color based on its position relative to the shorter EMAs: Red when above both EMAs (strong upward structure) Green when below both EMAs (strong downward structure) Gray when between them (neutral or consolidation phase) This setup provides a clear visual framework for observing trend flow and directional bias over multiple timeframes.

Kalman VWAP Filter [BackQuant]Kalman VWAP Filter A precision-engineered price estimator that fuses Kalman filtering with the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to create a smooth, adaptive representation of fair value. This hybrid model intelligently balances responsiveness and stability, tracking trend shifts with minimal noise while maintaining a statistically grounded link to volume distribution. If you would like to see my original Kalman Filter, please find it here: Concept overview The Kalman VWAP Filter is built on two core ideas from quantitative finance and control theory: Kalman filtering — a recursive Bayesian estimator used to infer the true underlying state of a noisy system (in this case, fair price). VWAP anchoring — a dynamic reference that weights price by traded volume, representing where the majority of transactions have occurred. By merging these concepts, the filter produces a line that behaves like a "smart moving average": smooth when noise is high, fast when markets trend, and self-adjusting based on both market structure and user-defined noise parameters. How it works Measurement blend : Combines the chosen Price Source (e.g., close or hlc3) with either a Session VWAP or a Rolling VWAP baseline. The VWAP Weight input controls how much the filter trusts traded volume versus price movement. Kalman recursion : Each bar updates an internal "state estimate" using the Kalman gain, which determines how much to trust new observations vs. the prior state. Noise parameters : Process Noise controls agility — higher values make the filter more responsive but also more volatile. Measurement Noise controls smoothness — higher values make it steadier but slower to adapt. Filter order (N) : Defines how many parallel state estimates are used. Larger orders yield smoother output by layering multiple one-dimensional Kalman passes. Final output : A refined price trajectory that captures VWAP-adjusted fair value while dynamically adjusting to real-time volatility and order flow. Why this matters Most smoothing techniques (EMA, SMA, Hull) trade off lag for smoothness. Kalman filtering, however, adaptively rebalances that tradeoff each bar using probabilistic weighting, allowing it to follow market state changes more efficiently. Anchoring it to VWAP integrates microstructure context — capturing where liquidity truly lies rather than only where price moves. Use cases Trend tracking : Color-coded candle painting highlights shifts in slope direction, revealing early trend transitions. Fair value mapping : The line represents a continuously updated equilibrium price between raw price action and VWAP flow. Adaptive moving average replacement : Outperforms static MAs in variable volatility regimes by self-adjusting smoothness. Execution & reversion logic : When price diverges from the Kalman VWAP, it may indicate short-term imbalance or overextension relative to volume-adjusted fair value. Cross-signal framework : Use with standard VWAP or other filters to identify convergence or divergence between liquidity-weighted and state-estimated prices. Parameter guidance Process Noise : 0.01–0.05 for swing traders, 0.1–0.2 for intraday scalping. Measurement Noise : 2–5 for normal use, 8+ for very smooth tracking. VWAP Weight : 0.2–0.4 balances both price and VWAP influence; 1.0 locks output directly to VWAP dynamics. Filter Order (N) : 3–5 for reactive short-term filters; 8–10 for smoother institutional-style baselines. Interpretation When price > Kalman VWAP and slope is positive → bullish pressure; buyers dominate above fair value. When price < Kalman VWAP and slope is negative → bearish pressure; sellers dominate below fair value. Convergence of price and Kalman VWAP often signals equilibrium; strong divergence suggests imbalance. Crosses between Kalman VWAP and the base VWAP can hint at shifts in short-term vs. long-term liquidity control. Summary The Kalman VWAP Filter blends statistical estimation with market microstructure awareness, offering a refined alternative to static smoothing indicators. It adapts in real time to volatility and order flow, helping traders visualize balance, transition, and momentum through a lens of probabilistic fair value rather than simple price averaging.

EMA HeatmapEMA Heatmap — Indicator Description The EMA Order Heatmap is a visual trend-structure tool designed to show whether the market is currently trending bullish, trending bearish, or moving through a neutral consolidation phase. It evaluates the alignment of multiple exponential moving averages (EMAs) at three different structural layers: short-term daily, medium-term daily, and weekly macro trend. This creates a quick and intuitive picture of how well price movement is organized across timeframes. Each layer of the heatmap is scored from bearish to bullish based on how the EMAs are stacked relative to each other. When EMAs are in a fully bullish configuration, the row displays a bright green or lime color. Fully bearish alignment is shown in red. Yellow tones appear when the EMAs are mixed or compressing, indicating uncertainty, trend exhaustion, or a change in market character. The three rows combined offer a concise view of whether strength or weakness is isolated to one timeframe or broad across the market. This indicator is best used as a trend filter before making trading decisions. Traders may find more consistent setups when the majority of the heatmap supports the direction of their trade. Green-dominant conditions suggest a trending bullish environment where long trades can be favored. Red-dominant conditions indicate bearish momentum and stronger potential for short opportunities. When yellow becomes more prominent, the market may be transitioning, ranging, or gearing up for a breakout, making timing more challenging and risk higher. • Helps quickly identify directional bias • Highlights when trends strengthen, weaken, or turn • Provides insight into whether momentum is supported by higher timeframes • Encourages traders to avoid fighting market structure It is important to recognize the limitations. EMAs are lagging indicators, so the heatmap may confirm a trend after the initial move is underway, especially during fast reversals. In sideways or low-volume environments, the structure can shift frequently, reducing clarity. This tool does not generate entry or exit signals on its own and should be paired with price action, momentum studies, or support and resistance analysis for precise trade execution. The EMA Order Heatmap offers a clean and reliable way to stay aligned with the broader market environment and avoid lower-quality trades in indecisive conditions. It supports more disciplined decision-making by helping traders focus on setups that match the prevailing structural trend.
