LBM-Strategy Engine Pro: The Ultimate Confluence IndicatorOverview
Welcome to the Strategy Engine Pro , the ultimate confluence indicator designed for traders who demand precision and full control over their trading signals. This is not just an indicator; it is a complete, customizable strategy-building framework.
It seamlessly integrates three powerful concepts into a single, intuitive tool:
Advanced Moving Average Trend Analysis to define the market context.
An intelligent Support & Resistance Cycle Engine to identify key price levels.
A flexible 10-rule Strategy Builder that lets you design, test, and refine your own entry signals with surgical precision.
Core Features
1. Advanced Moving Average Trend Analysis
The indicator plots 5 fully configurable Moving Averages (MAs). You can choose the Period and Type (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, RMA) for each one. But its true power lies in its unique color-coding system, which analyzes the slope and momentum of each MA, not just its price.
MA Color Code:
Green: The MA is in a strong, confirmed uptrend.
Red: The MA is in a strong, confirmed downtrend.
Yellow: The MA is flat or in a transitional (sideways) phase.
This provides an instant visual snapshot of the market trend across five different timeframes.
2. Support & Resistance Cycle Engine
Forget simple pivot points. This indicator incorporates a sophisticated engine that identifies and plots significant "Master Cycle" levels on your chart.
Anchored Levels: These S/R lines are persistent and intelligent. When a key resistance level is broken, it automatically "flips" and becomes the new anchored support level, and vice-versa. This accurately maps out the market's structural progression.
The Strategy Builder: Your Personal Trading Lab
This is the heart of the indicator. You have 10 sequential rules that allow you to define the exact conditions for a Buy signal. The Sell signal is generated as the logical, symmetrical opposite.
For each rule, you can configure:
Source A & Source B: Choose from a wide range of data points:
Price values: Close, Open, High, Low.
Previous candle values: Close Before, Open Before, etc.
Moving Average values: MA 1 through MA 5.
MA Trend Colors: MA 1 Color, MA 2 Color Before, etc.
Operator: Define the comparison logic:
Standard: >, <, >=, <=
Events: Crossover, Crossunder
Color Logic: Is Color, Is NOT Color, Turned Color, Ceased to be Color
Important Note on Sell Signals: Sell conditions are designed to be the symmetrical opposite of the buy conditions you create.
If Buy is Close > MA 1, Sell will be Close < MA 1.
If Buy is MA 1 Color Is Green, Sell will be MA 1 Color Is Red.
If Buy is MA 1 Color Turned Green, Sell will be MA 1 Color Turned Red.
This ensures your sell strategy mirrors the logic of your buy strategy, preventing the "inverse problem" of getting sell signals on every candle that isn't a buy signal.
Mastering the Connectors: ( ) AND and ( ) OR
The true power of the Strategy Builder lies in its connectors, which allow you to create complex, multi-layered logic. The connector on a rule defines how it connects to the next active rule.
AND & OR: These work as you'd expect, creating a continuous chain of conditions.
Rule 1 (AND) & Rule 2 is evaluated as (R1 AND R2).
( ) OR (The Group Separator): This is your most powerful tool. It acts like closing a parenthesis in an equation. It finalizes the current group of rules and connects it to the
next group with a big "OR".
Example: (R1 AND R2) OR (R3 AND R4)
This creates two possible paths for a signal.
- Rule 1: Condition R1, Connector AND
- Rule 2: Condition R2, Connector ( ) OR <-- This closes the first group and links to the next with OR.
- Rule 3: Condition R3, Connector AND
- Rule 4: Condition R4
( ) AND (The Super-Filter): This allows you to create a "master" condition that must be true in addition to other complex conditions.
Example: (R1 OR R2) AND (R3 OR R4)
This requires a condition from the first group and a condition from the second group to be true.
- Rule 1: Condition R1, Connector OR
- Rule 2: Condition R2, Connector ( ) AND <-- This closes the first OR group and links to the next with AND.
- Rule 3: Condition R3, Connector OR
- Rule 4: Condition R4
By strategically combining these connectors, you can build any logical trading scenario you can imagine. We look forward to seeing the powerful strategies the community creates with this engine.

Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders
Smart Compositing Logic
- Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms
- Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging)
- Dead composite identification (profiles that become engulfed by newer composites)
- Real-time updates as new price action develops using barstate.islast optimization
Visual Customization
- Customizable colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Adjustable transparency levels for each composite state
- Premium/Discount zone highlighting based on current price vs composite range
- TPO aggression coloring using TPO distribution analysis to identify buying/selling pressure
- Fibonacci level extensions with 1.618 target calculations based on composite range
Clean Chart Presentation
- Only shows the most relevant composite levels (maximum 10 active composites)
- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading
- Use "Daily" for swing trading
- Use "Weekly" for position trading
- Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe
Step 2: Customize the Display
Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis.
Step 3: Identify Key Levels
Look for:
- Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance
- VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries
- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels
- Identify trend changes when major composites break
Perfect for Market Profile Traders
If you're already using market profile concepts in your trading, CTPO eliminates the manual work of compositing profiles across different timeframes. Instead of spending time analyzing each individual period, you get instant access to the composite levels that matter most.

Contract Interest Turnover T3 [T69]Overview
--------
Contract Interest Turnover (CIT) estimates how “churny” a crypto derivatives market is by comparing the amount traded in a bar to the base stock of outstanding contracts (open interest). It normalizes both Volume and Open Interest (OI) by Price (Close), then plots a Turnover Rate = (Volume/Close) ÷ (OI/Close) as colored columns. Higher values = faster contract recycling (strong momentum / hype potential).
Features
--------
- Auto-fetch OI: Pulls OI via request.security(_OI, …) when the exchange/symbol exposes an OI stream on TradingView.
- Price-normalized comparison: Converts both Volume and OI into comparable notional terms by dividing each by Close.
- Turnover columns with threshold: Color the columns green once Turnover ≥ your set threshold; gray otherwise.
- Status-line readouts: Displays normalized Volume and OI values for quick sanity checks.
- Crypto-aware timeframe: Uses chart TF for crypto; forces daily OI when not crypto to avoid noisy intraday pulls.
How to Use
----------
1. Add the script on a perpetual/futures symbol that has OI on TradingView (e.g., BTC perps where an _OI feed exists).
2. Watch the Turnover Rate bars: spikes above your threshold flag sessions where contracts are actively flipping.
3. Interpret spikes as a signal of movement or activity — it does not specify price direction, only that the market is engaged and contracts are being traded more intensely than usual.
Configuration
-------------
- Interest Turnover Threshold (default 1.0): colors columns green when Turnover ≥ threshold. Tune per market’s typical churn profile.
Under the Hood (Formulas & Logic)
---------------------------------
- Fetch OI
oiClose ← request.security(ticker.standard(syminfo.tickerid) + "_OI", timeframe, close) with ignore_invalid_symbol = true.
If none is found, the script throws a clear runtime error.
- Normalize to price
vol_norm = volume / close
oi_norm = oiClose / close
This converts both to a common notional basis so their ratio is meaningful even as price changes.
- Turnover Rate
turnover = vol_norm / oi_norm
Interpretation: fraction/multiples of the outstanding contract base traded in the bar. Color = green if turnover ≥ threshold.
Why Open Interest ≈ “Float” Proxy
---------------------------------
In stocks, float ≈ shares the public can trade. In derivatives, there are no “shares,” so Open Interest acts as the live stock of active contracts. It’s the best proxy for “what’s available in play” because it counts open positions that persist across bars. Using Volume ÷ OI mirrors stock float-turnover logic: how fast the tradable base is being recycled each period.
Why Normalize by Price
----------------------
Derivatives volume and OI may be reported in contracts, not notional value. One contract’s economic weight changes with price (especially on inverse contracts). Dividing both Volume and OI by Close:
- Puts them on a comparable notional footing.
- Prevents false spikes purely from price moves.
- Makes Turnover comparable across time even as price trends.
Advanced Tips
-------------
- Calibrate threshold: Start from the 80th–90th percentile of the last 60–90 bars of Turnover; set the threshold a touch below that to surface early heat.
- Add OI-delta: Layer an OI change histogram (current − prior) to separate new positioning from pure churn.
- Linear vs inverse: For linear (USDT-margined) contracts, the normalization still works and keeps visuals consistent; for inverse, it’s essential.
Limitations
-----------
- Data availability: Works only if your symbol exposes an _OI feed on TradingView; otherwise it errors out.
- Exchange conventions: Volume units differ by venue (contracts, coin, notional). Normalization mitigates, but cross-symbol comparisons still need caution.
- Intrabar gaps: OI is typically end-of-bar; rapid intrabar shifts won’t appear until the bar closes.
Notes
-----
- Designed primarily for crypto derivatives. For non-crypto, the script blanks OI to avoid misleading plots and uses a daily TF when needed.

APC – Anti-Analysis-Paralysis Kompass APC – Anti-Analysis-Paralysis Compass (Pine v5).
Research/education indicator that compresses trend from 5 timeframes into one compass with Direction, Score, and Coherence (TF agreement). Non-repainting with a high-contrast breakdown table and in-chart help. No financial advice.
What it is
APC is a research/education tool that condenses trend information from five timeframes into a single compass. It shows Direction (↑/↓/→), a weighted Score, and Coherence (how strongly timeframes agree). The script is non-repainting (security(..., lookahead=off)) and includes a readable breakdown panel and example alerts.
How it works
• For each timeframe APC fits a linear regression to price, measures the slope change over k bars, optionally normalizes by ATR%, then maps it to +1 / 0 / −1 using a Deadzone (small slopes → neutral).
• A (weighted) sum of the five signs forms the Score.
• Coherence = |Score| / maxScore (0–100%), i.e., degree of TF alignment.
Quick start (suggested defaults)
• Timeframes: 15m · 1h · 4h · 1D · 1W • Weights: 1, 1, 1, 1.5, 2
• LinReg length: 100 • Slope Δ window: 10
• ATR normalization: ON • Deadzone: 0.03–0.05
• Coherence lock (for example alerts): 60%
Example research filters (non-advisory)
Many users test: Bullish bias when Score ≥ +3 and Coherence ≥ 60%; bearish bias when Score ≤ −3 and Coherence ≥ 60%. These are illustrative defaults only—configure and test your own thresholds.
Optional: pair with Kagi
Use APC for bias/conviction and Kagi turns for timing. Typical Kagi (swing): base 15m–1h, reversal ATR(14) × 1.5–2.5 or 1–3%.
Notes
Raise Deadzone in choppy markets; lower it for earlier flips. On very illiquid or young symbols, lengthen lenLR.

Volatility Cone Forecaster Lite [PhenLabs]📊 Volatility Cone Forecaster
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Volatility Cone Forecaster (VCF) is an advanced indicator designed to provide traders with a forward-looking perspective on market volatility. Instead of merely measuring past price fluctuations, the VCF analyzes historical volatility data to project a statistical “cone” that outlines a probable range for future price movements. Its core purpose is to contextualize the current market environment, helping traders to anticipate potential shifts from low to high volatility periods (and vice versa). By identifying whether volatility is expanding or contracting relative to historical norms, it solves the critical problem of preparing for significant market moves before they happen, offering a clear statistical edge in strategy development.
This indicator moves beyond lagging measures by employing percentile analysis to rank the current volatility state. This allows traders to understand not just what volatility is, but how significant it is compared to the recent past. The VCF is built for discretionary traders, system developers, and options strategists who need a sophisticated understanding of market dynamics to manage risk and identify high-probability opportunities.
🚀Points of Innovation
Forward-Looking Volatility Projection: Unlike standard indicators that only show historical data, the VCF projects a statistical cone of future volatility.
Percentile-Based Regime Analysis: Ranks current volatility against historical data (e.g., 90th, 75th percentiles) to provide objective context.
Automated Regime Detection: Automatically identifies and labels the market as being in a ‘High’, ‘Low’, or ‘Normal’ volatility regime.
Expansion & Contraction Signals: Clearly indicates whether volatility is currently increasing or decreasing, signaling shifts in market energy.
Integrated ATR Comparison: Plots an ATR-equivalent volatility measure to offer a familiar point of reference against the statistical model.
Dynamic Visual Modeling: The cone visualization directly on the price chart provides an intuitive guide for future expected price ranges.
🔧Core Components
Realized Volatility Engine: Calculates historical volatility using log returns over multiple user-defined lookback periods (short, medium, long) for a comprehensive view.
Percentile Analysis Module: A custom function calculates the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of volatility over a long-term lookback (e.g., 252 days).
Forward Projection Calculator: Uses the calculated volatility percentiles to mathematically derive and draw the upper and lower bounds of the future volatility cone.
Volatility Regime Classifier: A logic-based system that compares current volatility to the historical percentile bands to classify the market state.
🔥Key Features
Customizable Lookback Periods: Adjust short, medium, and long-term lookbacks to fine-tune the indicator’s sensitivity to different market cycles.
Configurable Forward Projection: Set the number of days for the forward cone projection to align with your specific trading horizon.
Interactive Display Options: Toggle visibility for percentile labels, ATR levels, and regime coloring to customize the chart display.
Data-Rich Information Table: A clean, on-screen table displays all key metrics, including current volatility, percentile rank, regime, and trend.
Built-in Alert Conditions: Set alerts for critical events like volatility crossing the 90th percentile, dropping below the 10th, or switching between expansion and contraction.
🎨Visualization
Volatility Cone: Shaded bands projected onto the future price axis, representing the probable price range at different statistical confidence levels (e.g., 75th-90th percentile).
Color-Coded Volatility Line: The primary volatility plot dynamically changes color (e.g., red for high, green for low) to reflect the current volatility regime, providing instant context.
Historical Percentile Bands: Horizontal lines plotted across the indicator pane mark the key percentile levels, showing how current volatility compares to the past.
On-Chart Labels: Clear labels automatically display the current volatility reading, its percentile rank, the detected regime, and trend (Expanding/Contracting).
📖Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Short-term Lookback: Default: 10, Range: 5-50. Controls the most sensitive volatility calculation.
Medium-term Lookback: Default: 21, Range: 10-100. The primary input for the current volatility reading.
Long-term Lookback: Default: 63, Range: 30-252. Provides a baseline for long-term market character.
Percentile Lookback Period: Default: 252, Range: 100-1000. Defines the period for historical ranking; 252 represents one trading year.
Forward Projection Days: Default: 21, Range: 5-63. Determines how many bars into the future the cone is projected.
✅Best Use Cases
Breakout Trading: Identify periods of deep consolidation when volatility falls to low percentile ranks (e.g., below 25th) and begins to expand, signaling a potential breakout.
Mean Reversion Strategies: Target trades when volatility reaches extreme high percentile ranks (e.g., above 90th), as these periods are often unsustainable and lead to contraction.
Options Strategy: Use the cone’s projected upper and lower bounds to help select strike prices for strategies like iron condors or straddles.
Risk Management: Widen stop-losses and reduce position sizes when the indicator signals a transition into a ‘High’ volatility regime.
⚠️Limitations
Probabilistic, Not Predictive: The cone represents a statistical probability, not a guarantee of future price action. Extreme, unpredictable news events can drive prices outside the cone.
Lagging by Nature: All calculations are based on historical price data, meaning the indicator will always react to, not pre-empt, market changes.
Non-Directional: The indicator forecasts the *magnitude* of future moves, not the *direction*. It should be paired with a directional analysis tool.
💡What Makes This Unique
Forward Projection: Its primary distinction is projecting a data-driven, statistical forecast of future volatility, which standard oscillators do not do.
Contextual Analysis: It doesn’t just provide a number; it tells you what that number means through percentile ranking and automated regime classification.
🔬How It Works
1. Data Calculation:
The indicator first calculates the logarithmic returns of the asset’s price. It then computes the annualized standard deviation of these returns over short, medium, and long-term lookback periods to generate realized volatility readings.
2. Percentile Ranking:
Using a 252-day lookback, it analyzes the history of the medium-term volatility and determines the values that correspond to the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. This builds a statistical map of the asset’s volatility behavior.
3. Cone Projection:
Finally, it takes these historical percentile values and projects them forward in time, calculating the potential upper and lower price bounds based on what would happen if volatility were to run at those levels over the next 21 days.
💡Note:
The Volatility Cone Forecaster is most effective on daily and weekly charts where statistical volatility models are more reliable. For lower timeframes, consider shortening the lookback periods. Always use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes other forms of analysis.

Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend [BackQuant]Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend
A two-stage trend tool that first filters price with a deadband baseline, then runs a Supertrend around that baseline with optional flip hysteresis and ATR-based adverse exits.
What this is
A hybrid of two ideas:
Deadband Hysteresis Baseline that only advances when price pulls far enough from the baseline to matter. This suppresses micro noise and gives you a stable centerline.
Supertrend bands wrapped around that baseline instead of raw price. Flips are further gated by an extra margin so side changes are more deliberate.
The goal is fewer whipsaws in chop and clearer regime identification during trends.
How it works (high level)
Deadband step — compute a per-bar “deadband” size from one of four modes: ATR, Percent of price, Ticks, or Points. If price deviates from the baseline by more than this amount, move the baseline forward by a fraction of the excess. If not, hold the line.
Centered Supertrend — build upper and lower bands around the baseline using ATR and a user factor. Track the usual trailing logic that tightens a band while price moves in its favor.
Flip hysteresis — require price to exceed the active band by an extra flip offset × ATR before switching sides. This adds stickiness at the boundary.
Adverse exit — once a side is taken, trigger an exit if price moves against the entry by K × ATR .
If you would like to check out the filter by itself:
What it plots
DBHF baseline (optional) as a smooth centerline.
DBHF Supertrend as the active trailing band.
Candle coloring by trend side for quick read.
Signal markers 𝕃 and 𝕊 at flips plus ✖ on adverse exits.
Inputs that matter
Price Source — series being filtered. Close is typical. HL2 or HLC3 can be steadier.
Deadband mode — ATR, Percent, Ticks, or Points. This defines the “it’s big enough to matter” zone.
ATR Length / Mult (DBHF) — only used when mode = ATR. Larger values widen the do-nothing zone.
Percent / Ticks / Points — alternatives to ATR; pick what fits your market’s convention.
Enter Mult — scales the deadband you must clear before the baseline moves. Increase to filter more noise.
Response — fraction of the excess applied to baseline movement. Higher responds faster; lower is smoother.
Supertrend ATR Period & Factor — traditional band size controls; higher factor widens and flips less often.
Flip Offset ATR — extra ATR buffer required to flip. Useful in choppy regimes.
Adverse Stop K·ATR — per-trade danger brake that forces an exit if price moves K×ATR against entry.
UI — toggle baseline, supertrend, signals, and bar painting; choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Green regime — candles painted long and the Supertrend running below price. Pullbacks toward the baseline that fail to breach the opposite band often resume higher.
Red regime — candles painted short and the Supertrend running above price. Rallies that cannot reclaim the band may roll over.
Frequent side swaps — reduce sensitivity by increasing Enter Mult, using ATR mode, raising the Supertrend factor, or adding Flip Offset ATR.
Use cases
Bias filter — allow entries only in the direction of the current side. Use your preferred triggers inside that bias.
Trailing logic — treat the active band as a dynamic stop. If the side flips or an adverse K·ATR exit prints, reduce or close exposure.
Regime map — on higher timeframes, the combination baseline + band produces a clean up vs down template for allocation decisions.
Tuning guidance
Fast markets — ATR deadband, modest Enter Mult (0.8–1.2), response 0.2–0.35, Supertrend factor 1.7–2.2, small Flip Offset (0.2–0.5 ATR).
Choppy ranges — widen deadband or raise Enter Mult, lower response, and add more Flip Offset so flips require stronger evidence.
Slow trends — longer ATR periods and higher Supertrend factor to keep you on side longer; use a conservative adverse K.
Included alerts
DBHF ST Long — side flips to long.
DBHF ST Short — side flips to short.
Adverse Exit Long / Short — K·ATR stop triggers against the current side.
Strengths
Deadbanded baseline reduces micro whipsaws before Supertrend logic even begins.
Flip hysteresis adds a second layer of confirmation at the boundary.
Optional adverse ATR stop provides a uniform risk cut across assets and regimes.
Clear visuals and minimal parameters to adjust for symbol behavior.
Putting it together
Think of this tool as two decisions layered into one view. The deadband baseline answers “does this move even count,” then the Supertrend wrapped around that baseline answers “if it counts, which side should I be on and where do I flip.” When both parts agree you tend to stay on the correct side of a trend for longer, and when they disagree you get an early warning that conditions are changing.
When the baseline bends and price cannot reclaim the opposite band , momentum is usually continuing. Pullbacks into the baseline that stall before the far band often resolve in trend.
When the baseline flattens and the bands compress , expect indecision. Use the Flip Offset ATR to avoid reacting to the first feint. Wait for a clean band breach with follow through.
When an adverse K·ATR exit prints while the side has not flipped , treat it as a risk event rather than a full regime change. Many users cut size, re-enter only if the side reasserts, and let the next flip confirm a new trend.
Final thoughts
Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend is best read as a regime lens. The baseline defines your tolerance for noise, the bands define your trailing structure, and the flip offset plus adverse ATR stop define how forgiving or strict you want to be at the boundary. On strong trends it helps you hold through shallow shakeouts. In choppy conditions it encourages patience until price does something meaningful. Start with settings that reflect the cadence of your market, observe how often flips occur, then nudge the deadband and flip offset until the tool spends most of its time describing the move you care about rather than the noise in between.

Key Features:
Adaptive Thresholds: ATR-based bands that adjust to market volatility
Volume Confirmation: Requires average volume spike to validate signals
Monthly Reset: VWAP anchors reset each month for fresh reference levels
Visual Clarity: Color-coded deviation line with background highlights for active signals
Info Panel: Shows days from anchor and current price context vs fair value
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal: Price below monthly VWAP by threshold amount with elevated volume
Sell Signal: Price above monthly VWAP by threshold amount with elevated volume
Neutral: Price within threshold range or insufficient volume
Best Used For:
Mean reversion strategies in ranging markets
Identifying potential oversold/overbought conditions
Understanding price position relative to monthly fair value

All-In-One MA Stack ScalperWhat is this Indicator?
This tool is an advanced, multi-layered breakout and trend-following indicator designed for lower timeframes. It identifies high-conviction buy and sell signals by combining moving average stacking with a suite of professional-grade filters.
How Does It Work?
A signal is generated only when ALL of the following conditions are met:
Moving Average Stack (5M Chart):
Buy: The close price is above all five moving averages (MAs: 100, 48, 36, 24, 12).
Sell: The close price is below all five MAs.
Volatility Filter (ATR):
Signals only print when the current ATR (14) is at least 80% of its 100-period average, ensuring you only trade in actively moving markets.
Candle Structure Filter:
The current candle must have a real body that is at least 35% of the candle’s total range, filtering out dojis and indecision bars.
Big Candle Filter:
The candle’s total range must be at least 40% of the current ATR, avoiding signals on minor, insignificant moves.
Volume Filter:
The current volume must be at least 80% of its 50-period average, filtering out signals during illiquid or quiet market conditions.
Minimum Distance from All MAs:
Price must be a minimum distance (20% ATR) away from each MA, confirming a clean breakout and avoiding signals in tight MA clusters or ranging markets.
RSI Momentum Filter:
Buy: RSI(14) must be greater than 55.
Sell: RSI(14) must be less than 45.
This ensures trades are only taken in the direction of momentum.
ADX Trend Filter:
ADX(14,14) must be above 20, ensuring signals only print in trending conditions (not in chop/range).
Minimum Bars Between Signals:
Only one signal per direction is allowed every 10 bars to avoid overtrading and signal clustering.
What Does This Achieve?
Reduces noise and false signals common in basic MA cross or stack systems.
Captures only strong, high-momentum, and high-conviction moves.
Helps you avoid chop, range, and news whipsaws by combining multiple market filters.
Perfect for advanced scalpers, intraday trend followers, or as a trade filter for algos/EAs.
How to Use It:
Apply to your 5-minute chart.
Green BUY signals: Only when all bullish conditions align.
Red SELL signals: Only when all bearish conditions align.
Use as a stand-alone system or as a filter for your own entries.
Recommended For:
Scalpers & intraday traders who want only the best opportunities.
EA and bot builders seeking reliable signal logic.
Manual traders seeking confirmation of high-probability breakouts.
Tip:
Adjust any of the filters (e.g., RSI/ADX thresholds, minBars, minDist) to make it more/less selective for your style or market.
VBC Signals with TP/SL V1.0This script was based on volume break candle theory.
VBC has a very simple idea. It uses the principle that if the price of the XAUUSD asset rises above a specified range of at least 600 points (configuarable) continuously, and a candle breaks the upward trend, a signal will be generated to sell. The entry principle is to enter at the price at the last bullish candle with TP300 SL300.
On the other hand, if the price of xauusd falls below the specified level of 600 points and a candle breaks the price down by 1 candle, a BUY signal will occur, and the ENTRY and TP SL will use the same values as the SELL signalใ
How it works:
SELL SIGNAL : When the asset price rises above 600 points continuously and a "SELL" signal occurs, place a limit sell order at the pair of green and red bars that formed the signal, specifying a TP of 300 and SL of 300.
BUY SIGNAL : When the asset price falls more than 600 points continuously and a "BUY" signal occurs, place a limit sell order at the double bar pattern of the red and green bars that formed the signal, specifying a TP of 300 and a SL of 300.
Disclaimer: This script is for educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Always do your own research before making trading decisions.
NOTE: For certain XAUUSD of certain broker (for instance XAUUSD on OANDA), the signal might found to often, just multiple the threshold by 10, then 600 will be come 6000
EMA Envelope + SMA + Purple DotThis indicator combines three tools into one:
📈 EMA Envelope with wedge and range contraction signals to highlight volatility squeezes.
🔵 SMA with optional smoothing (SMA/EMA/WMA/SMMA/VWMA) and optional Bollinger Bands.
🟣 Purple Dot “PowerBars” that mark strong momentum bars when price ROC (%) and volume exceed user-defined thresholds.
It also includes:
Background highlighting of contraction zones (bullish/bearish/neutral colors).
A summary table showing PowerBar count and return (%) over custom lookback periods.
Flexible display settings (table position, dark/light theme, highlight toggle).
Designed for traders who want to track momentum bursts, volatility contraction, and trend strength all in one tool.
Theil-Sen Line Filter [BackQuant]Theil-Sen Line Filter
A robust, median-slope baseline that tracks price while resisting outliers. Designed for the chart pane as a clean, adaptive reference line with optional candle coloring and slope-flip alerts.
What this is
A trend filter that estimates the underlying slope of price using a Theil-Sen style median of past slopes, then advances a baseline by a controlled fraction of that slope each bar. The result is a smooth line that reacts to real directional change while staying calm through noise, gaps, and single-bar shocks.
Why Theil-Sen
Classical moving averages are sensitive to outliers and shape changes. Ordinary least squares is sensitive to large residuals. The Theil-Sen idea replaces a single fragile estimate with the median of many simple slopes, which is statistically robust and less influenced by a few extreme bars. That makes the baseline steadier in choppy conditions and cleaner around regime turns.
What it plots
Filtered baseline that advances by a fraction of the robust slope each bar.
Optional candle coloring by baseline slope sign for quick trend read.
Alerts when the baseline slope turns up or down.
How it behaves (high level)
Looks back over a fixed window and forms many “current vs past” bar-to-bar slopes.
Takes the median of those slopes to get a robust estimate for the bar.
Optionally caps the magnitude of that per-bar slope so a single volatile bar cannot yank the line.
Moves the baseline forward by a user-controlled fraction of the estimated slope. Lower fractions are smoother. Higher fractions are more responsive.
Inputs and what they do
Price Source — the series the filter tracks. Typical is close; HL2 or HLC3 can be smoother.
Window Length — how many bars to consider for slopes. Larger windows are steadier and slower. Smaller windows are quicker and noisier.
Response — fraction of the estimated slope applied each bar. 1.00 follows the robust slope closely; values below 1.00 dampen moves.
Slope Cap Mode — optional guardrail on each bar’s slope:
None — no cap.
ATR — cap scales with recent true range.
Percent — cap scales with price level.
Points — fixed absolute cap in price points.
ATR Length / Mult, Cap Percent, Cap Points — tune the chosen cap mode’s size.
UI Settings — show or hide the line, paint candles by slope, choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Up-slope baseline and green candles indicate a rising robust trend. Pullbacks that do not flip the slope often resolve in trend direction.
Down-slope baseline and red candles indicate a falling robust trend. Bounces against the slope are lower-probability until proven otherwise.
Flat or frequent flips suggest a range. Increase window length or decrease response if you want fewer whipsaws in sideways markets.
Use cases
Bias filter — only take longs when slope is up, shorts when slope is down. It is a simple way to gate faster setups.
Stop or trail reference — use the line as a trailing guide. If price closes beyond the line and the slope flips, consider reducing exposure.
Regime detector — widen the window on higher timeframes to define major up vs down regimes for asset rotation or risk toggles.
Noise control — enable a cap mode in very volatile symbols to retain the line’s continuity through event bars.
Tuning guidance
Quick swing trading — shorter window, higher response, optionally add a percent cap to keep it stable on large moves.
Position trading — longer window, moderate response. ATR cap tends to scale well across cycles.
Low-liquidity or gappy charts — prefer longer window and a points or ATR cap. That reduces jumpiness around discontinuities.
Alerts included
Theil-Sen Up Slope — baseline’s one-bar change crosses above zero.
Theil-Sen Down Slope — baseline’s one-bar change crosses below zero.
Strengths
Robust to outliers through median-based slope estimation.
Continuously advances with price rather than re-anchoring, which reduces lag at turns.
User-selectable slope caps to tame shock bars without over-smoothing everything.
Minimal visuals with optional candle painting for fast regime recognition.
Notes
This is a filter, not a trading system. It does not account for execution, spreads, or gaps. Pair it with entry logic, risk management, and higher-timeframe context if you plan to use it for decisions.
Ark FCI OscillatorFinancial Conditions Index Oscillator
This indicator tracks week-over-week changes in the National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI), providing a dynamic view of evolving financial conditions in the United States.
Overview
The National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) is a comprehensive weekly composite index published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. It measures financial conditions across U.S. money markets, debt and equity markets, and the traditional and shadow banking systems.
Interpretation
Positive values indicate improving financial conditions
Negative values signal deteriorating financial conditions
Risk assets demonstrate particular sensitivity to changes in financial conditions, making this oscillator valuable for market timing and risk assessment.
Alternative Data Source
Users can modify the source to FRED:NFCIRISK to focus specifically on risk dynamics. The NFCIRISK subindex isolates volatility and funding risk measures within the financial sector, capturing market volatility indicators and liquidity shortage probabilities while excluding broader credit and leverage conditions.
Volume + RSI & MA Differential"Volume + RSI & MA Differential," integrates volume, RSI, and moving average differentials to generate trading signals. The script calculates a 14-period RSI to identify overbought or oversold conditions, with customizable thresholds for buy and sell signals. It also computes a 20-period SMA of the volume to smooth out trading activity data, helping to identify trends in market participation.
The script incorporates a fast (50-period) and a slow (200-period) SMA to analyze short-term and long-term trends, respectively. The differential between these moving averages, adjusted by the volume SMA, is used to identify potential trend changes or confirmations. Bars are colored yellow when the RSI is below the buy threshold and volume is high, indicating a potential buy signal. Conversely, bars turn red when the RSI is above the sell threshold and the fast MA is below the current close price, suggesting a potential sell signal. Neutral conditions result in grey bars.
Additionally, the script uses color-coding to plot the volume SMA and a line that changes color based on the moving average differential. A black line indicates a broadening MA cloud and a bullish trend, while a grey line suggests a narrowing MA cloud and a potential selloff. A yellow line signals the beginning of a buyback. This visual representation helps traders quickly identify potential trading opportunities and trend changes, making the script a valuable tool for technical analysis.
Candle Spread + ATR SMA Analysis
This indicator combines elements from two popular open-source scripts — Candle Range Compare
by @oldinvestor
and Objective Analysis of Spread (VSA)
by @Rin-Nin
— into a single tool for analyzing candle spreads (ranges and bodies) in relation to volatility benchmarks.
🔎 What It Does
Candle Decomposition:
Plots total candle ranges (high–low) in gray, for both up and down closes.
Plots up-close bodies (open–close) in white.
Plots down-close bodies in black.
This makes it easy to spot whether volatility comes from real price movement (body) or extended wicks.
ATR & SMA Volatility Bands:
Calculates ATR (Average True Range) and overlays it as a black line.
Plots four volatility envelopes derived from the SMA of the true range:
0.8× (blue, shaded)
1.3× (green)
1.8× (red)
3.0× (purple)
Colored fill zones highlight when candle spreads are below, within, or above key thresholds.
Visual Context:
Track expansion/contraction in spreads.
Compare bullish (white) vs bearish (black) bodies to gauge buying/selling pressure.
Identify when candles stretch beyond typical volatility ranges.
📈 How To Use It
VSA context: Wide down bars (black) beyond ATR bands may suggest supply; wide up bars (white) may indicate demand.
Trend confirmation: Expanding ranges above average thresholds (green/red/purple bands) often confirm momentum.
Reversal potential: Small bodies but large ranges (gray + wicks) frequently appear at turning points.
Volatility filter: Use ATR bands to filter trades — e.g., only act when candle ranges exceed 1.3× or 1.8× SMA thresholds.

Big thanks to both authors for their valuable contributions to the TradingView community.
One thing I couldnt quite get to work is being able to display up and down wicks like in the candle range compare, so I just add that indicator to the chart as well, uncheck everything but the wick plots and there it is.
