Smart Money Volume Index [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script measures buying and selling interest by comparing how price behaves on rising volume versus falling volume. It separates what is often called “smart money” activity from more passive volume and turns that relationship into a normalized index. The result is an oscillator that shows whether buyers or sellers are in control, how strong that control is, and when interest reaches extreme levels that tend to matter for reversals or continuations.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The calculation starts by splitting volume flow into two streams. Positive Volume Index (PVI) reacts when volume expands, while Negative Volume Index (NVI) reacts when volume contracts. Each stream is detrended with a long EMA and passed through an RSI calculation to express relative pressure. These two RSIs are then compared as ratios to estimate buy-side and sell-side interest. The values are summed over a rolling window and normalized against historical peaks so the output stays bounded and comparable across markets. In simple terms: relative behavior on high-volume vs low-volume bars defines interest , and normalization makes that interest readable over time.
🟠 FEATURES
Two display modes: Compare (separate buy and sell interest) and Net (single combined oscillator)
High-interest threshold zones with visual highlights
Alert conditions for threshold crosses and zero-line shifts
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. Choose Net mode for a clean momentum-style read, or Compare mode to see buy and sell interest separately. Start with the default periods, then adjust the Index Period to control how much history is included.
Read the chart : Values above zero mean buy-side interest dominates; below zero means sell-side interest dominates. In Compare mode, the green line tracks buying interest and the red line tracks selling interest. When either side pushes beyond the high-interest threshold, participation is elevated and moves tend to be more meaningful.
Settings that matter : Increasing the Index Period smooths the index and focuses on longer participation trends. Changing the Volume Flow Period alters how sensitive the RSI-based pressure is. The High Interest Threshold controls how selective extreme signals are and directly affects alerts and zone highlights.

Volatility Adaptive Precision Trend [JOAT]Volatility Adaptive Precision Trend – REGMA/ZLEMA Trend & Volatility Engine
IMPORTANT NOTES (READ FIRST)
This is an indicator (not a strategy). It does not place trades. It provides a structured trend and volatility framework.
This script is written in Pine Script v6 and is intended to be used on standard candlestick charts .
Source code visibility: This script is published as Protected Source (closed-source) . The purpose is to protect the work from unauthorized re-uploads/copies and to maintain a stable versioning path. This description is intentionally detailed so you can understand what the indicator does and how to use each feature without needing access to the implementation.
Protected Source / Closed-Source Clarification
Protected source does not mean "trust me blindly". It means the internal implementation is not publicly viewable.
The operational behavior is documented here: what is plotted, what each dashboard cell means, what each input controls, and how to interpret the output.
If you see re-uploads or near-identical copies elsewhere, treat them with caution and rely on the official publication.
Overview
Volatility Adaptive Precision Trend (VAPT) is a professional trend engine designed to stay responsive in fast markets while remaining stable in chop. It combines:
Regularized EMA (REGMA) – advanced smoothing with lambda parameter for noise reduction while maintaining responsiveness
Zero-Lag EMA (ZLEMA) – optional mode that eliminates traditional EMA lag for faster trend detection
Adaptive ATR Bands – volatility-based envelopes that expand and contract with the regime
Dynamic Risk Zones – extended envelopes beyond bands highlighting extreme stretch areas
Session Analysis – Asian, London, and New York session awareness with background shading
Professional Gradient Visualization – multi-layer trend lines with strength-based coloring
The purpose is to provide a clean, adaptive trend framework that adjusts to volatility conditions automatically.
What Makes It Original (Originality & Usefulness)
This script is not a simple moving average with bands. It is a coordinated workflow:
REGMA/ZLEMA Hybrid introduces a regularization term into the EMA recursion: REGMA = alpha x price + (1-alpha) x (REGMA + lambda x (price - REGMA ))
Adaptive Volatility Engine combines fast and slow ATR measures to estimate whether volatility is expanding or contracting
Volatility Regime Classifier compares current ATR to its moving average and standard deviation to label conditions as LOW/NORMAL/HIGH
Trend Strength Model measures distance between fast and slow trend lines, normalized by ATR
Session Context provides awareness of major trading sessions for regime interpretation
The combination creates a trend system that adapts to market conditions rather than using static parameters.
1) Chart Visuals – What You See on the Chart
A) Trend Lines (REGMA or ZLEMA)
Three trend lines form the core spine:
Trend Core – thickest line (linewidth 4), full gradient color, primary decision spine
Trend Mid – medium line (linewidth 2), slightly transparent, provides depth
Trend Fast – thin line (linewidth 1), emphasizes short-term shifts around the core
All lines share the same gradient which transitions from bull tones to bear tones as normalized strength crosses through zero.
REGMA Mode:
Lambda parameter (0.0-1.0) controls regularization strength
Lambda = 0.0 = standard EMA behavior
Higher lambda = more smoothing, reduced noise
Default lambda = 0.5 for optimal balance
ZLEMA Mode:
Compensates for EMA lag by subtracting half-length delay before smoothing
Creates faster, more reactive spine
Toggle between modes based on preference
B) ATR Bands and Risk Clouds
Upper/Lower Bands – ATR x multiplier around the trend spine, semi-transparent envelopes
Upper/Lower Risk Zones – extended envelopes (1.5x ATR multiplier) beyond bands, lightly filled
Three regimes created:
Inside bands = "normal" price movement
Between band and risk cloud = elevated excursion
Beyond risk cloud = extreme stretch (often precedes reversion or acceleration)
C) Signal Labels (optional)
When enabled, VAPT marks:
BULL – when trend direction flips positive with sufficient strength (> signal threshold)
BEAR – when direction flips negative with sufficient strength
VOL – when volatility expansion event is detected (regime shifts to HIGH)
Labels are compact, positioned at local highs/lows to avoid overlapping bands.
D) Background Layers
Session background – subtle tint showing active session (Asian=blue, London=orange, NY=green) or OFF-HOURS
Price position tint – faint red when price sits above upper band, faint green when below lower band
2) VAPT System Dashboard – Full Glossary
A compact table in the top-right corner displays:
Row 1 – Trend
BULLISH : Fast trend line > Slow trend line
BEARISH : Fast trend line < Slow trend line
NEUTRAL : Lines approximately equal
Row 2 – Strength
Absolute normalized trend strength in percent (0-100%)
Calculated as distance between fast and slow lines, normalized by ATR, clipped to -1 to +1 range
Higher values = stronger directional conviction
Row 3 – Volatility
LOW : ATR < (ATR MA - 1 StdDev) – compressed ranges, mean-reverting behavior
NORMAL : ATR within +/-1 StdDev of MA – typical oscillation
HIGH : ATR > (ATR MA + 1 StdDev) – trending, impulsive conditions
Row 4 – ATR
Current Average True Range value
Useful for stop-loss placement and position sizing
Row 5 – Position
ABOVE BANDS : Price > upper band (potential overbought, bearish reversal context)
BELOW BANDS : Price < lower band (potential oversold, bullish reversal context)
IN BANDS : Normal price action, trend continuation context
Row 6 – Session
ASIAN : 20:00-00:00 UTC
LONDON : 03:00-12:00 UTC
NEW YORK : 09:30-16:00 UTC
OFF-HOURS : Outside major sessions
3) How the Engines Work (High-Level)
REGMA Calculation:
alpha = 2.0 / (length + 1.0)
REGMA = alpha x price + (1 - alpha) x (REGMA + lambda x (price - REGMA ))
Lambda term pulls the EMA path toward smoothness
ZLEMA Calculation:
lag = floor((length - 1) / 2)
ema_data = price + (price - price )
ZLEMA = EMA(ema_data, length)
Adaptive ATR Calculation:
atr_base = ATR(length)
atr_fast = ATR(length / 2)
atr_slow = ATR(length x 2)
volatilityRatio = atr_fast / atr_slow
adaptedATR = atr_base x volatilityRatio (when adaptive mode enabled)
Trend Strength Calculation:
diff = fast_trend - slow_trend
strength = diff / ATR
normalizedStrength = clamp(strength, -1, +1)
Signal Generation:
Bullish: trend direction changes from non-positive to positive AND strength > signal threshold
Bearish: trend direction changes from non-negative to negative AND strength < -signal threshold
Volatility Expansion: regime shifts from LOW/NORMAL to HIGH

Recommended: Attach alerts to "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid reacting to intra-bar fluctuations.
7) Limitations & Best-Use Guidance
VAPT is an analytical tool, not an automatic trading system. It does not manage orders or risk for you.
Normal caution around indicator lag, volatility shocks, and gaps still applies.
Back-testing any workflow built on this indicator should account for realistic spreads, slippage, and commissions.
Always validate settings on your own symbols and timeframes; there is no single configuration that suits every market.
Session times are in exchange timezone; adjust if needed for your specific instruments.

Position Management Intelligence ProPosition Management Intelligence Pro is a post-entry position management indicator designed to help traders evaluate the quality and risk of an open trade using a structured, rule-based state engine.
This script does not generate buy or sell entries. It analyzes price behavior after entry to classify the trade environment into one of five management states:
HOLD
TRIM
MOMENTUM FADING
RISK RISING
EXIT RISK
Core Concepts Used
The indicator combines four market dimensions:
1. Momentum Quality
Measured using:
Direction of a fast EMA (20)
Price position relative to the fast EMA
Logic:
Rising EMA + price above EMA → positive momentum
Falling EMA + price below EMA → negative momentum
This avoids using oscillators and instead focuses on trend structure.
2. Market Participation (Volume)
Participation is evaluated by comparing current volume to a 20-period volume average:
Strong participation = volume > 1.3 × average
Weak participation = volume < configurable fraction of average
This helps distinguish healthy continuation from low-commitment moves.
3. Volatility Expansion (Risk Detection)
ATR (14) is compared to its own moving average:
Volatility spike is detected when current ATR exceeds its average by a multiplier depending on trading mode (Intraday / Swing / Positional)
This highlights environments where risk is increasing even if price direction has not yet reversed.
4. Effort vs Result (Distribution Risk)
A classical Wyckoff-style concept:
High volume
Small price change relative to ATR
This condition signals potential absorption or distribution, indicating that large participants may be exiting into strength.
State Engine Logic (Simplified)
The script uses deterministic rules to classify each bar:
EXIT RISK → Effort-vs-result condition detected
RISK RISING → Volatility expansion detected
TRIM → Negative momentum + weak participation
MOMENTUM FADING → Negative momentum only
HOLD → Positive momentum with strong participation
Each state is calculated on bar close and does not repaint.
Trading Modes & Risk Profiles
The indicator allows users to adapt the behavior of the risk engine using two configuration layers:
Trading Modes
These adjust how sensitive the system is to volatility expansion based on the intended holding period:
Intraday
Uses lower ATR thresholds
Detects volatility expansion earlier
Designed for short-term trades where risk changes quickly
Swing
Balanced volatility sensitivity
Default mode
Suitable for multi-day trades
Positional
Uses higher ATR thresholds
Filters out short-term noise
Designed for longer holding periods and wider price swings This affects how aggressively the script flags the RISK RISING state.
Risk Profiles
Risk profiles adjust how the script interprets market participation (volume weakness):
Aggressive
Tolerates lower volume before flagging weakness
Produces fewer TRIM / warning states
Balanced
Neutral sensitivity
Default setting
Conservative
Flags weak participation earlier
Produces earlier warnings during trend deterioration This influences the detection of momentum weakening and trimming conditions.
Dashboard & Confidence Metric
The dashboard summarizes:
Trading mode
Risk profile
Current state
State duration
A perception-based “confidence” score
The confidence score is not predictive and not a probability. It is a normalized representation of how favorable the current trade environment is based on the above factors.
Intended Use
This indicator is designed to be applied after entering a trade to:
Detect weakening trends
Identify increasing risk
Highlight distribution conditions
Support partial exits and risk reduction decisions
It is not a signal generator and should be used alongside the trader’s own entry strategy.

Level Targeting v3 (MTF)Level Targeting v3 (MTF)
A clean, volume-driven target zone indicator designed to reveal where price is aiming, not just where it has been.
Built around high-effort volume events, Level Targeting highlights structurally important price zones and projects them across timeframes with calm, institutional-style visuals.
Focused. Non-repainting. Designed for clarity over noise.
✨
Level Targeting v3 (MTF) — Release Notes
What’s new in v3
This update introduces a major architectural and visual upgrade focused on multi-timeframe clarity, stability, and professional chart aesthetics.
Key improvements
• Multi-Timeframe (MTF) support
Target zones can now be calculated from a higher timeframe while displayed on a lower one, allowing traders to see where price is aiming, not just where it has been.
• Robust rendering engine
All drawing logic has been hardened against bar-0, empty arrays, and desynchronization issues for maximum runtime stability.
• Clean, institutional-style visuals
Zones are designed to remain readable without clutter, emphasizing structure over noise.
• Strength-based visibility filtering
Only zones meeting minimum strength criteria are highlighted, keeping the chart focused and intentional.
• Improved zone persistence logic
Zones evolve organically with volume-based effort events rather than repainting aggressively.
• Optimized performance
Efficient array management ensures smooth operation even on long histories and lower timeframes.
Design philosophy
This indicator is built to support decision-making, not distract from it.
Zones are meant to feel structural — calm, confident, and precise.
Notes
• After major visual or timeframe changes, re-adding the indicator may be required to fully resync graphic objects with the price scale (TradingView behavior).
• Best results are achieved when selecting neighboring timeframes (e.g., 15m ↔ 1H, 1H ↔ 4H).
BLACKBOX AI Trade Sniper [12CROWNS]BLACKBOX AI Trade Sniper
Stop guessing. Start targeting.
The BLACKBOX AI Trade Sniper is an institutional-grade algorithmic trading system designed exclusively for BLACKBOX Trade Journal Pro users. Built for precision scalping and swing trading, this tool eliminates market noise to reveal the true trend.
THE PROBLEM:
Most indicators lag or get chopped up in ranging markets, leading to false signals and drawdown.
THE SOLUTION:

BT Smart CVDBT Smart CVD — Intelligent Delta, Inventory & Participation Context
What this is
BT CVD is an advanced Cumulative Volume Delta tool designed to show when delta actually matters .
Instead of treating all buying/selling equally, BT CVD contextualizes delta by:
• Existing inventory size
• Relative delta significance
• Participation momentum (CDC-weighted)
This is a context and permission tool , not a buy/sell signal generator.
In the example above advanced but common CVD interpretations can mislead traders into trap areas. The Smart CVD recognizes exhaustion in real time, informing traders when price is slowing down and possibly reversing
────────────────────────
Core concepts
CVD Line = Inventory
The CVD line shows cumulative net buying or selling since the selected anchor.
• Rising CVD → inventory accumulation
• Falling CVD → inventory distribution
• Flat CVD → balance / rotation
Delta Histogram = Activity
Each histogram bar represents delta on that candle only.
• Cyan = net buying on the bar
• Red = net selling on the bar
Important:
A cyan bar below zero does NOT mean the market is bullish.
It means buyers were aggressive on that candle, even if sellers still control inventory overall.
────────────────────────
Intelligent Delta Heatmap
BT CVD uses a gradient heatmap to highlight relative delta significance , not raw size.
Delta intensity is normalized by:
• Current inventory (CVD level)
• A stabilizing denominator floor
• A user-defined % threshold
Result:
• Dark / saturated bars = meaningful pressure
• Faded bars = low-impact activity
• Rapid intensity changes = acceleration or liquidation
This makes liquidation, exhaustion, and initiative moves visually obvious.
────────────────────────
CDC-Weighted Delta (Key Feature)
Delta only matters if participation supports it.
When CDC-weighting is enabled:
• Delta is emphasized only when participation expands in the same direction
• Decelerating participation is muted
• Direction-aware logic correctly handles both bullish and bearish flows
This dramatically reduces false breakouts and late-trend traps.
────────────────────────
State-Aware CVD
BT CVD classifies flow into behavioral states that guide trader behavior:
Inventory Building
• Strong delta + expanding participation
• Press-friendly environment
Fragile Inventory
• Strong delta + weak participation
• Breakouts vulnerable
Exhaustion
• Participation spikes without inventory follow-through
• Fade risk increases
Inventory Unwind
• Strong opposing delta
• Liquidation or rotation risk
No arrows. No signals. Just behavior.
────────────────────────
Anchoring & Scaling
• Session / Weekly / All anchors for inventory context
• Manual or Auto scaling keeps CVD readable across assets
• Optional intrabar delta for higher-fidelity flow
────────────────────────
How traders use BT CVD
• Press trades only when inventory and participation align
• Avoid chasing fragile breakouts
• Recognize liquidation and exhaustion early
• Stand down during low-quality participation
Bottom line
BT CVD doesn’t predict price.
It helps traders align with professional inventory behavior and avoid trading when delta doesn’t matter.
Full playbook and available separately.
NeuraEdge Delta Flow PRO - Institutional Order Flow AnalysisOVERVIEW
Delta Flow Pro is a closed-source order flow analysis indicator that reveals the hidden battle between buyers and sellers. While price shows you what happened, Delta Flow shows you who won the fight.
Traditional volume indicators only measure transaction size - they tell you how much traded, but not the directional conviction behind those trades. Delta Flow Pro uses proprietary price action algorithms to estimate buying versus selling pressure on every bar, exposing institutional accumulation and distribution patterns that remain invisible on standard charts.
The indicator analyzes three critical dimensions:
Bar-by-bar delta (who controlled each candle)
Cumulative Volume Delta (net institutional positioning over time)
Divergence patterns (early warning when pressure shifts before price confirms)
CORE METHODOLOGY
Delta Calculation Approach:
The indicator uses three selectable estimation methods to analyze intra-bar order flow:
Price Action Method - Calculates delta based on where price closes within the bar's range. A close near the high indicates buying pressure; near the low indicates selling pressure. Formula: ((close - low) / range - 0.5) × 2 × volume
Candle Body Method - Weights delta by the body-to-range ratio, emphasizing bars where one side dominated completely. Uses body size as a conviction metric multiplied by directional volume.
Wick Weighted Method - Incorporates upper and lower wick analysis, where large lower wicks indicate buying absorption and large upper wicks indicate selling rejection. Combines base directional bias with wick-derived pressure.
All methods are normalized to a 0-100% scale for consistent interpretation across different instruments and timeframes.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD):
The indicator maintains a running cumulative sum of delta values to track net institutional positioning over time. CVD reveals accumulation (rising) or distribution (falling) patterns that may not be visible in price alone. Users can configure auto-reset periods (0-100 bars) to focus CVD on recent activity or disable reset for long-term tracking.
Divergence Detection:
The indicator identifies structural divergences between price pivots and delta pivots using configurable lookback periods (2-15 bars). Bearish divergence occurs when price makes higher highs while delta makes lower highs, suggesting weakening buying pressure. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows while delta makes higher lows, suggesting weakening selling pressure.
WHY CLOSED SOURCE:
The proprietary calculation methodology represents original research into optimal weighting factors, normalization techniques, and divergence sensitivity calibrations developed through extensive back testing across multiple asset classes. The closed-source protection prevents dilution of the methodology while ensuring consistent signal quality for all users.
Unlike open-source implementations using basic volume × direction formulas, Delta Flow Pro employs:
Adaptive normalization that adjusts to instrument volatility
Multi-method delta estimation with context-aware switching logic
Refined pivot detection algorithms to minimize false divergence signals
Volume-safety protocols to handle zero-volume bars and data gaps
TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR PAID ACCESS:
While moving averages, RSI, and Bollinger Bands are well-documented public domain concepts, institutional order flow analysis requires:
Proprietary weighting systems to estimate bid/ask imbalance from OHLCV data
Advanced normalization to make delta comparable across vastly different instruments
Custom divergence logic that filters noise while maintaining sensitivity
Extensive calibration to balance false positives against missed signals
Data Feed Alternative:
Traditional order flow analysis requires expensive Level 2 market data subscriptions, DOM (Depth of Market) feeds, or institutional trading terminals (often $100-500+ monthly per exchange). Delta Flow Pro provides order flow insights using standard OHLCV price and volume data, eliminating the need for additional external data feed costs while delivering actionable institutional pressure analysis.
The indicator provides value beyond standard technical analysis tools by offering retail traders proxy access to order flow concepts typically requiring premium market data subscriptions.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Delta Flow Pro transforms how you interpret market action by revealing the pressure behind price movements.
Signal Confirmation:
Use delta as a filter for entries from other indicators. If your primary system generates a long signal but delta is strongly negative, it suggests selling pressure may invalidate the setup. Conversely, bullish delta confirms buying conviction behind the move.
Exhaustion Detection:
The most powerful application - spotting when price and pressure diverge. Price making new highs with negative delta indicates weak hands pushing price while institutions sell into strength. Price making new lows with positive delta indicates smart money absorption. These exhaustion patterns often precede major reversals.
Divergence Trading:
Divergence signals often precede reversals by several bars, providing early warning. Wait for price confirmation (structure break, reversal candlestick) before entering based on divergence alone.
Conviction Measurement:
Strong delta (above user-defined threshold, default 70%) indicates high probability the current move continues. Weak delta near zero suggests choppy conditions; consider reducing position size or avoiding entries.

Volume-Adjusted CCI Trend [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated trend identification system that combines dual EMA direction analysis with volume-weighted normalization and CCI momentum filtering for comprehensive trend validation. Utilizing Volume RSI integration and standard deviation-based bands that expand and contract with volume characteristics, this indicator delivers institutional-grade trend detection with multi-layered confirmation requirements. The system's volume adjustment mechanism modulates signal sensitivity based on participation strength while CCI thresholds prevent false signals during weak momentum conditions, creating a robust trend-following framework with reduced whipsaw susceptibility.
🔶 Advanced Dual EMA Direction Engine
Implements fast and slow exponential moving average comparison to establish primary trend direction bias with configurable period parameters for timeframe optimization. The system calculates trend direction as binary +1 (bullish when fast EMA exceeds slow EMA) or -1 (bearish when slow exceeds fast), providing foundational directional input that requires additional confirmation before generating actionable trend states.
🔶 Volume-Adjusted Normalization Framework
Features sophisticated normalization calculation that measures price deviation from basis EMA, scales by standard deviation, then applies volume-weighted adjustment factor for participation-sensitive signal generation. The system calculates Volume RSI to quantify relative volume strength, converts to ratio format, and multiplies normalized deviation by volume factor scaled by impact parameter, creating signals that strengthen during high-volume confirmations and weaken during low-volume moves.
// Volume-Adjusted Normalization
Vol_Ratio = Volume_RSI / 50
Vol_Factor = 1 + (Vol_Ratio - 1) * Vol_Impact
Dev = src - Basis_EMA
Raw_Normalized = Dev / (StdDev * Multiplier)
Vol_Adjusted_Norm = Raw_Normalized * Vol_Factor
🔶 CCI Momentum Filter Integration
Implements Commodity Channel Index threshold system with configurable upper and lower bounds to validate trend strength and filter sideways market conditions. The system calculates standard CCI with adjustable length, compares against asymmetric thresholds (default +100 bullish, -50 bearish), and requires CCI confirmation in addition to EMA direction and normalized deviation before transitioning trend states, ensuring only high-conviction signals generate entries.
🔶 Multi-Layer Trend State Logic
Provides intelligent trend state machine requiring simultaneous confirmation from EMA direction, volume-adjusted normalization threshold breach, and optional CCI momentum validation. The system maintains persistent trend state that only transitions when all three conditions align, preventing premature reversals during temporary retracements or low-volume fluctuations while capturing genuine trend changes with institutional-grade confirmation requirements.
🔶 Dynamic Volume Band Architecture
Creates volatility-adjusted bands around basis EMA using standard deviation multiplied by volume factor, producing channels that widen during high-volume periods and contract during low-volume consolidations. The system applies identical volume adjustment to band calculations as normalization metric, ensuring visual envelope consistency with underlying signal logic and providing intuitive reference boundaries for trend-following price action.
🔶 Gradient Strength Visualization System
Implements color intensity modulation based on normalized signal strength relative to threshold requirements, creating visual feedback that communicates trend conviction. The system calculates strength ratio by dividing absolute normalized value by threshold, caps at 1.0, and applies gradient interpolation from muted to vivid colors, instantly conveying whether current trend exhibits marginal or strong characteristics through line and candle coloring.
🔶 Volume RSI Calculation Engine
Utilizes RSI methodology applied to volume series rather than price to quantify relative participation strength with normalization to 0.5-1.5 range for factor multiplication. The system processes volume through standard RSI calculation, divides by 50 to center around 1.0, and produces ratio values where readings above 1.0 indicate above-average volume and below 1.0 suggest below-average participation for signal adjustment purposes.
🔶 Asymmetric Threshold Configuration
Features separate positive and negative normalization thresholds with independent CCI upper and lower bounds enabling optimization for bullish versus bearish signal generation characteristics. The system defaults to symmetric normalized thresholds (±0.2) but asymmetric CCI levels (+100/-50), recognizing that bullish momentum often requires stronger confirmation than bearish reversals in typical market structures.
🔶 Comprehensive Visual Integration
Provides multi-dimensional trend visualization through color-coded basis line, volume-adjusted bands with gradient fills, trend-synchronized candle coloring, and transition signal labels. The system enables selective display toggling for each visual component while maintaining consistent color scheme and strength-based intensity across all elements for cohesive chart presentation without overwhelming information density.
🔶 Alert and Signal Framework
Generates trend change alerts when state transitions occur with all confirmation requirements satisfied, providing notifications for bullish (transition to +1) and bearish (transition to -1) signals. The system implements state change detection through comparison with previous bar trend state, ensuring single alert per transition rather than continuous notifications during sustained trends.
🔶 Performance Optimization Architecture
Employs efficient calculation methods with null value handling for Volume RSI initialization and nz() functions preventing calculation errors during early bars. The system includes intelligent state persistence maintaining previous trend during ambiguous conditions and optimized gradient calculations balancing visual quality with computational efficiency across extended historical periods.
🔶 Why Choose Volume-Adjusted CCI Trend ?
This indicator delivers sophisticated trend identification through multi-layered confirmation combining directional EMA analysis, volume-weighted normalization, and momentum validation via CCI filtering. Unlike traditional trend indicators relying solely on price-based calculations, the volume adjustment mechanism ensures signals strengthen during high-participation moves and weaken during low-volume drifts, reducing false breakouts and choppy market whipsaws. The system's requirement for simultaneous EMA direction, normalized threshold breach, and CCI momentum confirmation creates institutional-grade signal quality suitable for systematic trend-following approaches across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets. The volume-adjusted bands provide dynamic support/resistance references while the gradient strength visualization enables instant assessment of trend conviction for position sizing and risk management decisions.
Aura Volumetrics [Pineify]Aura Volumetrics - Dynamic Volume-Weighted Sentiment Visualization
The Aura Volumetrics indicator transforms traditional volume analysis into a dynamic, visual representation of market sentiment and trading intensity. By combining volume delta analysis, volume surprise detection, and volatility-adjusted bands, this indicator creates a "breathing" aura around price that reveals the true strength and exhaustion of market movements in real-time.
Key Features
Dynamic Aura Bands that expand and contract based on volume intensity and market volatility
Color-coded sentiment analysis distinguishing bullish (green), bearish (red), and neutral (gray) market conditions
Peak Activity Level (PAL) markers identifying significant institutional order flow
Volume Surprise detection highlighting when market participation exceeds normal levels
Volatility-adjusted width calculation ensuring the aura adapts to different market conditions
Custom candle coloring for high-volume bars providing instant visual confirmation
How It Works
The Aura Volumetrics indicator employs a multi-layered approach to volume analysis:
1. Buying and Selling Pressure Calculation
The indicator analyzes each candle's closing position relative to its high and low to determine whether volume represents buying or selling pressure. When a candle closes in the upper half of its range, volume is attributed to buyers; when it closes in the lower half, volume is attributed to sellers. The net difference (delta) reveals the true directional pressure behind price movement.
2. Volume Surprise Detection
By comparing current volume to a 20-period simple moving average, the indicator calculates a volume ratio that identifies when market participation significantly exceeds normal levels. This "volume surprise" mechanism helps traders spot moments when institutional players or significant market events are driving unusual activity.
3. Dynamic Aura Width Calculation
The width of the aura is determined by combining the Average True Range (ATR) with the volume surprise ratio. This creates a volatility-adjusted band that expands during high-volume, high-volatility periods and contracts during quiet market conditions. The mathematical relationship uses a square root function to smooth the expansion rate, preventing excessive band width during extreme volume spikes.
4. Sentiment Smoothing
To reduce noise and provide clearer directional signals, the raw volume delta is smoothed using a 5-period Exponential Moving Average. This creates a more stable sentiment reading while still responding quickly to genuine shifts in market pressure.
Trading Ideas and Insights
The Pulsing Aura Effect
The width of the colored cloud around price acts as a real-time gauge of trading intensity. A widening aura signals that a "Volume Surprise" is occurring—market participants are entering with force. This often precedes significant price movements or indicates the continuation of strong trends. Conversely, a narrowing aura suggests declining participation and potential exhaustion.
Color-Based Sentiment Analysis
Green (Bullish) Aura: Net money flow is driven by buyers, indicating demand exceeds supply
Red (Bearish) Aura: Sellers are aggressive, with supply overwhelming demand
Gray (Neutral) Aura: Balanced buying and selling pressure, often seen during consolidation
Aura Boundary Rejections
When price reaches the outer boundary of the aura and volume begins to dry up (indicated by the aura narrowing), traders should watch for potential reversals or mean-reversion back to the midline. This is similar to how price reacts to traditional support and resistance levels, but with the added dimension of volume confirmation.
Peak Activity Levels (PAL)
Small circles appearing on the midline represent moments when volume exceeds 2.5 times the average. These Peak Activity Levels often mark areas where significant "meta-orders" (large institutional trades) have been executed, creating potential long-term support or resistance zones that persist across multiple timeframes.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The Aura Volumetrics indicator synthesizes four distinct analytical methods into a cohesive visualization:
Volume Delta Analysis provides the directional component, determining whether pressure is bullish or bearish
Volume Surprise Detection adds the intensity dimension, showing when participation exceeds normal levels
ATR-Based Volatility Adjustment ensures the aura scales appropriately across different instruments and market conditions
EMA Smoothing filters out noise while maintaining responsiveness to genuine sentiment shifts
These components work synergistically: the volume delta determines color, the volume surprise and ATR determine width, and the smoothing ensures stability. The result is a single, intuitive visualization that would otherwise require monitoring multiple separate indicators.
Unique Aspects
Unlike traditional volume indicators that display volume as bars below the chart, Aura Volumetrics integrates volume analysis directly into the price action overlay. The "breathing" metaphor is particularly apt: calm markets take shallow breaths (narrow aura), while excited or panicked markets take deep, powerful breaths (wide aura), revealing exhaustion or strength.
The indicator's use of gradient fills creates a visual hierarchy where the most intense volume activity appears closest to the midline, while the outer edges fade toward transparency. This design choice makes it immediately clear where the core of market activity is concentrated.
The Peak Activity Level markers serve a dual purpose: they identify significant volume events in real-time and create a historical record of institutional activity zones that traders can reference for future support and resistance analysis.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: Look for a widening aura in the direction of the trend (green for uptrends, red for downtrends) to confirm trend strength
Reversal Signals: Watch for price reaching the outer aura boundary followed by aura contraction, suggesting exhaustion
Breakout Validation: Genuine breakouts should be accompanied by a widening aura; narrow auras during breakouts suggest false moves
Support/Resistance Zones: Use Peak Activity Level markers to identify areas where institutional orders were placed
Consolidation Recognition: A consistently narrow, neutral-colored aura indicates low conviction and range-bound conditions
Customization
The indicator offers several customization options to suit different trading styles and instruments:
Volume Average Lookback (default: 20): Adjust this to change the baseline for volume surprise detection. Lower values make the indicator more sensitive to short-term volume changes; higher values focus on longer-term volume trends
Aura Sensitivity (default: 2.0): This ATR multiplier controls how wide the aura expands. Increase for more prominent bands on volatile instruments; decrease for subtler visualization on stable markets
Show Peak Activity Signals (default: true): Toggle the display of Peak Activity Level markers if you prefer a cleaner chart
Color Scheme: Customize the bullish, bearish, and neutral aura colors to match your chart theme or personal preferences
Conclusion
Aura Volumetrics represents a paradigm shift in volume analysis by transforming abstract volume data into an intuitive, visual representation of market sentiment and intensity. By combining volume delta, volume surprise detection, and volatility-adjusted bands, this indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of market dynamics that would otherwise require multiple separate tools.
The "breathing market" metaphor makes complex volume relationships immediately understandable, while the Peak Activity Level markers create a lasting record of institutional activity zones. Whether you're a day trader seeking confirmation of intraday moves or a swing trader looking to validate trend strength, Aura Volumetrics offers a unique perspective on the forces driving price action.
Note: This indicator works best when combined with price action analysis and other technical tools. Volume analysis should be one component of a comprehensive trading strategy, not used in isolation.
RealEdgeFX VolumeMapPresentation
RealEdgeFX VolumeMap is an intraday order-flow companion built to highlight aggressive participation using TradingView’s intrabar Volume Delta estimation. Instead of guessing “who hit the market,” VolumeMap tags candles where delta activity is statistically significant and adds a simple, practical classifier to help you read what that aggression likely meant (breakout, absorption, trap, or just raw aggression).
It’s designed to stay clean: session-based plotting, a short history window, and compact badges with optional heatmap strength.
Description
VolumeMap works by requesting intrabar Volume Delta from a lower timeframe (e.g., 1m) and comparing the current candle’s delta against a dynamic baseline using one of three methods:
- xAvg (multiple of the average absolute delta)
- Z-Score (statistical deviation vs mean)
- Percentile (relative rank vs lookback distribution)
When a candle exceeds the selected threshold, VolumeMap classifies it into one of four buckets:
- BRK (Breakout/Displacement)
- ABS (Absorption)
- TRAP (Trap / failed stop-run)
- AGG (Aggression only)
The result is a fast “at-a-glance” read of where meaningful order-flow showed up, inside your active trading sessions.
Tools
- Aggression Badges (Volume Delta spikes): Marks candles where intrabar delta is unusually large vs your chosen baseline.
- Classifier (BRK / ABS / TRAP / AGG): Adds context to the aggression event so you can interpret intent, not just intensity.
- Session Filter (clean intraday focus): Plots only inside your active sessions (two default sessions included).
- Heatmap Strength: Badges fade/brighten based on how far the event is beyond threshold (relative strength).
- History Window: Limits plotting to the last N days to reduce clutter and load.
Classifier logic (what the tags mean)
- BRK = Breakout / Displacement
Aggression + strong range vs ATR + close near the extreme → suggests “real displacement” (follow-through intent).
- ABS = Absorption
Aggression is present, but price progress is weak (or EVR is elevated) → suggests absorption/defense at that level.
- TRAP = Trap / Failed stop-run
Sweeps a recent high/low with delta aligned to the sweep, but closes against it → suggests a failed run / trapped side.
- AGG = Aggression
Aggression passed the threshold, but didn’t meet BRK/ABS/TRAP conditions.
What can you customize?
- Timezone + History Days
- Sessions (2 default windows) and session enable toggles
- Intrabar timeframe (LTF) used to estimate delta
- Detection Method (xAvg / ZScore / Percentile)
- Threshold parameters (lengths, multipliers, percentile)
- Badge text (Signed Delta vs Absolute Delta)
- Heatmap on/off and intensity behavior
- Colors + label size for buy/sell badges
How to use properly
- Use intraday charts (1–15m) and set Intrabar timeframe to 1m for best sensitivity.
- Keep the session filter enabled so the indicator focuses on the periods you actually trade.
- Use the classifier as context, not as a standalone entry system:
- BRK can support continuation scenarios
- ABS can support rejection/defense scenarios
- RAP can support reversals after a sweep
- Pair it with your structure/levels: VolumeMap tells you where the participation is, your model decides what to do with it.
Notes / limitations
- Volume Delta is an estimate derived from lower timeframe data; results can vary with the selected LTF and symbol data quality.
- Symbols without meaningful volume data may not behave as expected.

Volumetrix Ribbon [by Oberlunar] Volumetrix Ribbon by Oberlunar is a multi-broker “market pressure ribbon” built to make trend context readable at a glance, without trusting a single exchange feed.
In crypto and CFDs, a lot of what traders react to is not real intent, but microstructure noise: isolated wicks, temporary liquidity gaps, exchange-specific order flow, or short-lived dislocations.
The core idea behind this ribbon is straightforward: when momentum and volume pressure agree across venues and across multiple time horizons, the move is more likely to be structural. When they disagree, you’re often looking at chop, rotation, or a transition phase where signals are lower quality.
The script aggregates the same instrument across up to five brokers/exchanges, then builds two aligned perspectives.
The first is TRIX momentum computed across a range of lengths, which helps you see expansion versus contraction without being overly sensitive to raw candle noise.
The second is a normalised volume pressure estimate that tries to express participation directionally rather than treating volume as a simple up/down flag. Each ribbon band represents a different length from fast to slow, and it is rendered as a continuous lane (no blocky squares).
A band turns Aqua when TRIX and volume pressure are aligned bullish relative to a reference baseline, Purple when they align bearish, and neutral when they conflict. Transparency adapts to strength, so you can immediately distinguish weak agreement from dominant agreement.
Read it like a trader: when you see clean, persistent Aqua across many lengths, bullish structure is broad and usually more resilient than a quick pop; when you see clean, persistent Purple across many lengths, bearish structure is broad and usually more than just a wick. When the ribbon is mixed or frequently neutral, you’re in disagreement territory, which typically means ranging conditions, distribution/accumulation, or a regime shift. Fast bands tend to flip first and slow bands follow, which is exactly how transitions behave: reversal attempts appear quickly, while real trend change needs broader confirmation.
The dominance table is there to keep the reading honest. Dominance Bullish and Dominance Bearish are computed as percentages over the total number of lanes, not only over the lanes that are “active.” That means a single bullish lane inside a mostly neutral ribbon is not treated as 100% bullish dominance; it remains a small fraction, and the cell intensity reflects that breadth properly.
Here is a real trade example:
Bearish Dominance
More or less 2R profit
However, this indicator is not a strategy, and it does not predict the future. It’s a context engine designed to help you avoid low-quality chop, validate whether a move has structure behind it, and align entries with phases where momentum and participation are actually synchronised.
Enjoy!

Point of Control [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Point of Control identifies the exact price level with the highest traded volume over a selected lookback period.
This level—called the Point of Control (PoC) —marks where the greatest market participation occurred, representing a zone of highest volume.
The indicator helps traders visualize dominant volume concentrations, fair-value levels, and structural balance within recent price action.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Point of Control (PoC) — The single price level within the defined lookback range that has accumulated the most traded volume.
Volume Distribution Bins — The price range is divided into 25 equal bins, and volume is aggregated per bin to locate the maximum concentration.
Range Boundaries — The highest and lowest price within the lookback window are used to form the upper and lower reference limits.
PoC Channel — Optional upper and lower bands plotted around the main PoC to visualize a fair-value corridor.
Volume Intensity Mapping — Candle color dynamically shifts based on the candle’s position relative to the PoC channel, showing whether price is balanced or trending away from high-volume levels.
🔵 FEATURES
Configurable Lookback Range — Adjust how many bars (10–400) are used for calculating the PoC.
Precise PoC Calculation — Volume aggregation across 25 bins to identify the exact volume peak.
Dynamic Channel Visualization — PoC bands above and below the central level to indicate equilibrium tolerance.
Adaptive Candle Coloring —
- Neutral → price inside PoC channel. Gray
- Bullish → price above PoC channel. Blue 🔵
- Bearish → price below PoC channel. Orange 🟠
Automatic Volume Labeling — Displays total volume at the active PoC level for quick reference.
Directional Indicators — 🔵 or 🟠 markers appear when price shifts above or below the PoC channel.
Range Visualization — Plots the highest and lowest points of the active lookback window for contextual awareness.
Live Updating Logic — PoC recalculates automatically every 15 bars for efficient chart performance and accuracy.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Volume Anchoring — Use PoC as a reference for where the majority of volume occurred; price often reacts to or consolidates around this level.
Trend Confirmation — Sustained price movement away from PoC channel may signal developing directional imbalance.
Value Tracking — Watch the shifting of PoC across time to identify where fair value migrates during market evolution.
Equilibrium Mapping — When price hovers around PoC, the market is balanced; when it departs, a new value zone may form.
Combine With Volume Profiles — Use alongside profile tools for higher-resolution analysis of institutional activity.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Point of Control provides a pure, volume-centric view of market balance by pinpointing where most transactions occurred within any chosen range.
It delivers a clean and efficient visualization of fair value zones—helping traders track the heartbeat of market participation, recognize dominant liquidity areas, and stay aligned with where true market interest resides.
Smart Trader,Episode 1, by Ata Sabanci | Unified Matrix⚠️ **CRITICAL: READ BEFORE USING** ⚠️
This strategy is **100% VOLUME-BASED** and requires **Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data** for accurate calculations. Please understand the following limitations before using:
**📊 DATA ACCURACY LEVELS:**
• **1T (Tick)** — Most accurate, real volume distribution per tick
• **1S (1 Second)** — Reasonably accurate approximation
• **15S (15 Seconds)** — Good approximation, longer historical data available
• **1M (1 Minute)** — Rough approximation, maximum historical data range
**⚠️ BACKTEST & REPLAY LIMITATIONS:**
• TradingView's Strategy Tester uses historical LTF data which may be limited depending on your subscription plan
• Replay mode results may differ from live trading due to data availability
• For longer backtest periods, use higher LTF settings (15S or 1M)
• Not all symbols/exchanges support tick-level data
• Crypto and Forex typically have better LTF data availability than stocks
**💡 A NOTE ON TOOLS:**
Successful trading requires proper tools. Higher TradingView plans provide access to more historical intrabar data, which directly impacts the accuracy of volume-based calculations. More precise volume data leads to more reliable signals. Consider this when evaluating your trading infrastructure.
**WHY "EPISODE 1"?**
This strategy is titled "Episode 1" because it focuses exclusively on **Highest Buyers (HB)** — a single but powerful concept in volume analysis.
**The Philosophy:**
A single high-volume buying event can tell us a story about market psychology:
• Where did the biggest buyers enter?
• How much of their power remains?
• Are sellers consuming their advantage?
• At what rate is the balance shifting?
By focusing on just ONE aspect of volume analysis, traders can deeply understand how a buying surge affects future price action before moving to more complex multi-factor analysis.
**The Reality:**
This script alone is approximately **2000 lines of code** — and it only analyzes buyers. A comprehensive system covering all aspects (sellers, combined analysis, multi-timeframe correlation) would be significantly larger and computationally heavier. Breaking this into focused modules allows for:
• Deeper understanding of each component
• Lighter, more responsive scripts
• Educational progression from simple to complex
**OVERVIEW**
Smart Trader EP1 is a volume-based trading strategy that tracks the balance of power between buyers and sellers through the lens of the **Highest Buyers event**. Unlike traditional indicators that rely on price patterns or mathematical formulas, this strategy analyzes *actual volume flow* to identify who is in control of the market.
The core philosophy is simple: **markets move when one side (buyers or sellers) exhausts their power while the opposing side accumulates strength.** By measuring this power shift in real-time, the strategy identifies high-probability entry and exit points.
**HOW IT WORKS**
**1. Volume Engine**
The strategy splits each candle's volume into buying volume and selling volume using intrabar data. In *Intrabar (Precise)* mode, it uses actual tick-by-tick or second-by-second data to calculate the exact buy/sell distribution. In *Geometry* mode, it approximates based on candle structure (close position within the range).
**2. Event Detection**
Within the lookback window, the strategy identifies key events:
• **HB (Highest Buyers)** — The candle with maximum buying volume (potential resistance when exhausted)
• **HS (Highest Sellers)** — The candle with maximum selling volume (potential support when exhausted)
• **LB (Lowest Buyers)** — The candle with minimum buying volume (buyer absence)
• **LS (Lowest Sellers)** — The candle with minimum selling volume (seller absence)
These events create dynamic support and resistance levels based on actual volume, not arbitrary price levels.
**3. Power Tracking (Attrition Model)**
For the Highest Buyers event (HB), the strategy tracks:
• **Start Power (X)** — The initial buying volume at the HB event
• **Consumed Power (Y)** — How much selling volume has accumulated since the event
• **Remaining Power (Z)** — Start Power minus Consumed Power (X - Y)
• **Opponent Dominance** — When Remaining Power goes negative (Z < 0), sellers have overtaken buyers
Think of it like a battle: buyers establish a position (HB), and sellers gradually consume their power. When buyers' power is exhausted (Remaining Power ≤ 0), sellers have taken control.
**4. Depletion Markers**
Visual markers appear on the chart when power reaches critical thresholds:
• **🔋** — Buyers consumed 100% (Remaining = 0)
• **🚨** — Buyers consumed 200% (Opponent Dominance = 100%)
• **🪫** — Sellers consumed 100%
• **⚠️** — Sellers consumed 200%
**5. Cumulative Delta**
Beyond tracking power at specific events, the strategy calculates the cumulative buy volume minus sell volume since the HB event. This shows the *net flow* of money:
• **Positive Delta** — More buying than selling since HB (bullish pressure)
• **Negative Delta** — More selling than buying since HB (bearish pressure)
**6. Trend Channel**
A 5-point linear regression channel identifies the current trend:
• **UPTREND** — Both upper and lower channel lines slope upward
• **DOWNTREND** — Both lines slope downward
• **RANGING** — Mixed or flat slopes
The strategy also tracks where the HB event occurred within this channel (TOP, UPPER, MIDDLE, LOWER, BOTTOM) to contextualize the signal.
**7. Nearest Event Analysis**
The strategy identifies which event is closest to the current candle and analyzes the price action *after* that event:
• How many bullish vs bearish candles followed?
• Does post-event momentum confirm or contradict the event type?
This prevents false signals when, for example, a bearish event occurs but is immediately followed by strong bullish candles.
**SIGNAL LOGIC**
**🟢 LONG Signal Conditions:**
• Uptrend with positive cumulative delta and buyers accumulating
• At channel bottom/lower with strong buyer power remaining
• After a bearish event (HS) with bullish post-event momentum (reversal signal)
• Ranging market with positive delta and strong power
**🔴 SHORT Signal Conditions:**
• Downtrend with negative cumulative delta and sellers in control
• Opponent Dominance (buyer power exhausted) with bearish momentum
• Buyer Trap: HB at TOP in uptrend but power exhausted and delta negative
• After a bullish event (HB) with bearish post-event momentum (trap signal)
**⏳ NO_TRADE Conditions:**
• Conflicting signals (e.g., bearish event but bullish post-momentum)
• Ranging market without clear direction
• Mixed power readings
• Price position contradicts signal direction
**STRATEGY EXECUTION**
**Entry Rules:**
• Enter LONG when signal is "LONG" and conditions are valid
• Enter SHORT when signal is "SHORT" and conditions are valid
• **Pyramid**: Up to 2 entries allowed in the same direction (configurable)
• Each entry uses 10% of equity by default
• Only one entry per confirmed candle (prevents multiple fills)
**Stop Loss (Event Line Based):**
• **LONG positions**: Stop Loss placed below the HS line (seller support level)
• **SHORT positions**: Stop Loss placed above the HB line (buyer resistance level)
• A small buffer percentage is added to prevent premature stops
**Take Profit (Event Line Based):**
• **LONG positions**: Take Profit near the HB line (buyer resistance target)
• **SHORT positions**: Take Profit near the HS line (seller support target)
• A small buffer percentage ensures realistic fill expectations
**Exit Rules:**
• Exit LONG when signal changes to SHORT
• Exit SHORT when signal changes to LONG
• **NO_TRADE signal = HOLD** (do not exit, wait for clear direction)
• SL/TP orders remain active regardless of signal changes

**BEST PRACTICES**
**For Maximum Accuracy:**
1. Use **1T (tick)** or **1S** intrabar resolution when available
2. Trade liquid markets with good volume data (crypto majors, forex majors, high-volume stocks)
3. Use smaller lookback length (20-30) to ensure all bars have valid LTF data
4. Monitor the "Intrabar Valid Bars" counter in the matrix header
5. If you see data warnings, reduce lookback or increase LTF resolution
**For Longer Backtests:**
1. Use **15S or 1M** intrabar resolution for more historical data
2. Increase lookback length if needed
3. Understand that accuracy decreases with higher LTF settings
4. Consider using Geometry mode for very long backtests (approximation but always available)
**Understanding the Signals:**
• Pay attention to the signal *reasoning* shown in the matrix — it explains WHY
• **NO_TRADE** means the system sees conflicting factors — respect this caution
• Event lines act as dynamic S/R — they update as new volume events occur
• Cumulative Delta (Δ) often provides early warning of trend changes
**Risk Management:**
• The default 10% per entry with max 2 pyramids = 20% maximum exposure
• Event-line-based SL/TP provides logical levels based on actual volume events
• Always verify signals with your own analysis before trading
**INTERPRETING THE MATRIX**
**Power Status Examples:**
• *Remaining Power: 75%* — Buyers still have most of their strength
• *Remaining Power: 25%* — Buyers nearly exhausted, watch for reversal
• *Opponent Dominance: -50%* — Sellers have consumed 150% of buyer power (strong bearish)
**Decay Angle:**
• *Low angle (0-30°)* — Slow consumption, power lasting longer
• *High angle (60-90°)* — Rapid consumption, expect quick exhaustion
**ETA to Parity:**
• Shows estimated bars until Remaining Power reaches zero
• *"Overtaken"* with 🚨 means sellers have already dominated
**LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMER**
**Technical Limitations:**
• Requires sufficient historical LTF data (varies by TradingView plan and symbol)
• Intrabar (Precise) mode may show invalid data warnings on symbols with limited history
• Strategy tester may not have access to the same LTF data as live trading
• Maximum 500 lines and 500 labels (TradingView platform limits)
**Important Notes:**
• This strategy focuses on **Highest Buyers only** — it does not analyze all market factors
• Past performance does not guarantee future results
• Volume data quality varies significantly between symbols and exchanges
• The strategy's signals are analytical tools, not trading recommendations
**Risk Disclaimer:**

APC HIRO Proxy Flow PressureAP Capital – HIRO Proxy (Flow Pressure)
AP Capital – HIRO Proxy is a price- and volume-based flow pressure oscillator designed to approximate institutional hedging / directional pressure using only native chart data.
⚠️ This is a proxy model. It does not use options-market data or real SpotGamma HIRO feeds.
🔍 What this indicator does
The indicator measures directional efficiency × volume pressure on every bar, accumulates it intraday, and then normalizes the result using a Z-score so it adapts cleanly across symbols and timeframes.
The output is displayed as candle-style pressure bars, making momentum shifts and pressure flips visually obvious.
🧠 Core Logic
Directional Efficiency
Measures how effectively price closes within its candle range
Strong closes near highs/lows increase pressure
Volume Weighting
Pressure is weighted by volume (optionally logarithmic)
Prevents single spikes from distorting the signal
Cumulative Flow
Pressure accumulates bar-by-bar
Optional daily reset for intraday trading
Z-Score Normalization
Normalizes pressure relative to recent history
Allows consistent thresholds across assets
📊 How to read the indicator
Green candles above zero
→ Net bullish pressure (buyers in control)
Red candles below zero
→ Net bearish pressure (sellers in control)
Zero line
→ Neutral balance / transition zone
±1 / ±2 Z-Bands
→ Elevated or extreme pressure conditions
Triangle signals
▲ Up Pressure → Z-score crosses above positive threshold
▼ Down Pressure → Z-score crosses below negative threshold

Liquidation Map [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity distribution visualization system that identifies potential liquidation zones through pivot-based detection and renders them as an interactive histogram with cumulative distance-to-liquidation curves. Utilizing multi-exchange volume aggregation and ATR-scaled pocket detection, this indicator delivers institutional-grade liquidity mapping with real-time histogram display showing relative concentration of long and short liquidation levels across configurable price ranges. The system's box-based rendering architecture combined with cumulative distribution overlays provides comprehensive visual assessment of asymmetric liquidity positioning for strategic trade planning.
🔶 Advanced Multi-Exchange Aggregation Framework
Implements intelligent ticker detection and multi-source volume aggregation across major exchanges including Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, and MEXC for accurate liquidity weight calculations. The system automatically identifies base currency (BTC, ETH, SOL) from chart ticker, retrieves volume data from matching perpetual contracts across multiple venues, and aggregates into composite volume metric for enhanced pocket weighting accuracy.
🔶 Pivot-Based Liquidation Pocket Detection
Features sophisticated swing point identification using configurable pivot width with ATR-scaled vertical zone construction for volatility-adaptive pocket sizing. The system detects pivot highs for short liquidation zones (placed above swing) and pivot lows for long liquidation zones (placed below swing), applying 200-period ATR with percentage multipliers to determine pocket heights that adjust to market volatility conditions.
🔶 Interactive Histogram Visualization Engine
Provides real-time box-based histogram rendering in indicator pane with configurable bin counts (up to 400 columns) and adjustable height, displaying liquidity concentration across fixed percentage range above and below current price. The system calculates bin sizes from view range, accumulates pocket weights into price bins, and renders vertical bars with gradient color intensity reflecting relative liquidity concentration at each price level.
🔶 Cumulative Distance Overlay System
Implements innovative cumulative distribution curves showing aggregate liquidity distance from current price for both long (left) and short (right) positions. The system calculates running totals of pocket weights from current price outward in both directions, normalizes against maximum span, and overlays line segments showing how much total liquidity exists at various distances, enabling instant assessment of liquidation cascade potential.
🔶 Dynamic Price Range Adaptation
Features fixed percentage-based view window that maintains consistent price range visualization across all timeframes and instruments, automatically centering histogram on current price with configurable +/- percentage bounds. The system recalculates histogram bins and pocket distributions on each bar close, ensuring visualization adapts to price movement while maintaining interpretable scale regardless of volatility regime.
🔶 Touch Detection and Weight Adjustment
Provides intelligent pocket state tracking that identifies when price trades through liquidation zones and applies configurable weight multipliers to touched pockets for historical context. The system monitors price interaction with pocket midpoints, marks pockets as "hit" when violated, and optionally increases their visual weight (default 5x) to emphasize historical liquidation levels while distinguishing from untouched future zones.
🔶 Gradient Intensity Color System
Implements sophisticated color gradient engine that modulates bar opacity from transparent to opaque based on relative liquidity concentration within each bin. The system normalizes bin values against maximum liquidity, applies color interpolation from faded to vivid hues, and distinguishes long liquidation zones (cyan) from short liquidation zones (yellow/gold) with current price column highlighted in red for instant orientation.
🔶 Performance-Optimized Rendering Architecture
Utilizes efficient box and line object management with dynamic allocation based on histogram configuration, implementing intelligent cleanup and reuse to maintain smooth performance. The system includes adaptive line budget calculations that adjust segment density for cumulative curves based on available object limits, ensuring consistent operation even with maximum histogram resolution settings.
🔶 Asymmetric Distribution Analysis
Calculates separate cumulative distributions for long and short liquidation zones split at current price, enabling identification of imbalanced liquidity positioning. The system normalizes distributions against respective maximums and overlays both curves on single histogram, allowing traders to instantly assess whether more liquidation risk exists above (shorts vulnerable) or below (longs vulnerable) current price levels.
🔶 Configurable Label and Scale System
Provides price axis labeling with adjustable frequency to reduce clutter while maintaining reference points, displaying price values at regular column intervals with configurable offset positioning. The system includes current price label showing exact value and percentile position within view range, offering both absolute price reference and relative positioning context for distribution interpretation.
🔶 Historical Pocket Persistence Framework
Maintains rolling window of liquidation pockets up to 3000 bars with automatic expiration management and optional preservation of touched zones for historical analysis. The system tracks pocket creation time, monitors age against lookback limits, and manages array cleanup to prevent memory overflow while retaining relevant historical liquidation levels for pattern recognition and support/resistance validation.
This indicator delivers sophisticated liquidity distribution analysis through histogram visualization and cumulative distance curves that reveal asymmetric positioning of potential liquidation levels. Unlike simple liquidation heatmaps that show absolute levels, the Liquidation Map's cumulative distribution overlays instantly communicate how much total liquidity exists at various distances from current price, enabling assessment of cascade potential. The system's multi-exchange volume aggregation, touch-weighted historical zones, and fixed-range visualization make it essential for traders seeking strategic positioning around institutional liquidity clusters in cryptocurrency futures markets. The histogram format enables instant identification of price levels where concentrated liquidations may trigger significant volatility or reversal events, while the asymmetric distribution curves reveal whether market structure favors upside or downside cascades.
BT Cumulative Delta ContextBT CDC — Cumulative Delta Change (Volume Momentum)
Overview
BT CDC (Cumulative Delta Change) measures the rate of change in volume participation , not raw volume or cumulative delta itself.
In simple terms, CDC answers one question:
“Is buying or selling pressure accelerating, decelerating, or stalling?”
Where CVD shows who is holding inventory , CDC shows whether that inventory is still being added to . This distinction is critical in professional trading.
---
Inputs Summary
• Delta Source – Determines how volume imbalance is estimated
• Smoothing / Lookback – Controls sensitivity to short-term vs sustained momentum shifts
• Normalization (if enabled) – Allows comparison across sessions or assets
Default settings are designed to balance responsiveness with stability for intraday futures.
---
Visual Elements
• Color-coded histogram or waveform
– Positive values indicate increasing buying pressure
– Negative values indicate increasing selling pressure
• Zero line reference
– Above zero: positive participation momentum
– Below zero: negative participation momentum
Visual emphasis is placed on changes in slope and peaks , not just crossings.
---
How Traders Use CDC Effectively
CDC is best used to identify advantageous periods for trading , not individual entries.
Common professional-style uses include:
• Pressing trades only when CDC supports continuation
• Avoiding breakouts when CDC is decaying
• Fading moves when CDC spikes fail to convert into sustained momentum
• Standing down during flat CDC environments (low participation)
CDC is especially effective during:
• Session opens
• Volatility regime changes
• Trend transitions
• Range-to-trend or trend-to-range shifts
---
How CDC Relates to Professional Trading Desks
Professional trading desks rarely make decisions based on absolute volume or delta alone. Instead, they focus on:
• Changes in participation
• Acceleration vs exhaustion of pressure
• Whether initiative activity is increasing or fading
CDC is a retail-accessible approximation of what institutional desks refer to as:
• Order flow acceleration
• Liquidity-taking rate changes
• Participation momentum
Directional systematic funds, CTAs, and intraday macro traders use similar concepts to determine when markets are in trend-permissive states versus balanced or rotational states.
CDC is not used as a “buy/sell trigger.” It is used as a permission filter that determines whether directional trades should be pressed, faded, or avoided.
---
What CDC Signals
Rising CDC
• Participation is accelerating
• Initiative activity is increasing
• Directional continuation is more likely
• Pullback trades have higher expectancy
Flattening CDC
• Participation is no longer expanding
• Inventory is being digested or distributed
• Breakouts become fragile
• Range behavior becomes more likely
Falling CDC
• Momentum is decaying
• Exhaustion risk increases
• Fades and mean reversion gain edge
CDC is most powerful when read alongside price location (VWAP, ranges, structure) and cumulative delta (CVD).
---
Who Uses Similar Tools & Methods
While CDC is not a standardized retail indicator, its logic is widely used by:
• Directional systematic futures funds
• CTA-style intraday and swing traders
• Macro desks trading index futures
• Volatility and regime-based strategies
---
Important Notes
• CDC is a context and regime tool , not a signal generator
• Best used in combination with CVD, VWAP, structure, and volatility
• Most valuable when aligned with time-of-day and session behavior
CDC helps traders align with periods when professional participation is expanding—and avoid trading when it is not.

Sessions + Prev + PDH/PDL + Killzones SuiteDescription
This indicator is designed to provide time-based and price-based market context by combining session ranges with commonly referenced prior levels into a single, unified framework.
The purpose of the script is contextual analysis, not signal generation.
What the script does
The script tracks and plots the following elements directly on the price chart:
• High and Low ranges for multiple trading sessions (Asia, London, New York morning, and New York afternoon)
• High and Low levels from the previous occurrence of each session
• Prior Day High (PDH) and Prior Day Low (PDL)
• Optional session “killzone” boxes that visually mark active session time windows
All calculations are performed using time-based session boundaries and price extrema (high/low) within those windows.
Why these components are combined
Sessions, previous session levels, and prior day levels are frequently analyzed together by discretionary traders because they represent:
• Where liquidity formed earlier in the day or previous day
• Where price previously paused, expanded, or reversed
• Natural reference points for intraday structure and range analysis
Instead of plotting these elements using multiple separate scripts, this indicator integrates them into one consistent framework so that all levels are calculated using the same timezone, session logic, and display rules.
This avoids mismatched session times, duplicate levels, or conflicting calculations that can occur when multiple scripts are used simultaneously.
How the script works (high-level)
• Each session is defined using user-selectable session times and timezone
• During a session, the script tracks the highest and lowest traded price
• When a session ends, its final high and low are stored as the “previous session” levels
• PDH and PDL are calculated using the completed trading day
• Lines and labels are anchored to the bars where levels are formed, rather than extending indefinitely
• Optional display filters allow users to show only the current trading day to reduce chart clutter
No forward-looking logic, prediction, alerts, or trade execution logic is included.
How to use it
This script is intended to be used as a visual reference tool to help traders:
• Identify session boundaries and intraday ranges
• Observe how price reacts near prior session highs and lows
• Assess where price is trading relative to PDH and PDL
• Maintain consistent session timing across different timezones
The script does not provide trade entries, exits, alerts, or performance claims.
Important notes
• This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals
• It does not predict future price movement
• It is not a trading strategy
• All decisions remain the responsibility of the user

Volume MAs Cloud Trend | Lyro RSVolume MAs Cloud Trend is a volume-weighted trend-following indicator designed to identify market direction, momentum strength, and dynamic trade management directly on price. By combining volume-adjusted moving averages, adaptive deviation bands, and an integrated ATR trailing stop, it delivers clear visual trend structure and actionable signals in a single overlay.
Key Features
Volume-Adjusted Moving Average
Uses a normalized formula: (Price × Volume) MA ÷ Volume MA, ensuring high-participation price moves carry greater influence. Supports 16+ MA types, with VWMA handled natively.
Deviation Band Cloud
Upper and lower bands are built from standard deviation over the MA length, scaled by independent positive and negative multipliers to adapt to volatility.
Cloud & Trail Modes
Cloud Mode visualizes trend structure using a filled band cloud.
Trail Mode switches to an ATR-based trailing stop for trend management.
Automatic Trend Signals
Bullish signals trigger when price crosses above the positive band.
Bearish signals trigger when price crosses below the negative band.
ATR Trailing Stop (Built-In)
A volatility-adjusted trailing stop initializes on each new trend and updates only in the trade direction, helping lock in gains while staying with the trend.
Custom Visuals & Palettes
Choose from Classic, Mystic, Accented, or Royal palettes, or define your own bullish and bearish colors. Includes MA glow, trend cloud fill, and trend-colored candles.
How It Works
MA Construction
Applies the selected moving average to volume-weighted price (or VWMA when selected) to create a participation-aware trend baseline.
Band Calculation
Calculates rolling standard deviation and offsets it using user-defined multipliers to form adaptive upper and lower trend bands.
Trend Detection
Crosses above the upper band confirm bullish momentum.
Crosses below the lower band confirm bearish momentum.
Trailing Stop Logic
On each new trend signal, an ATR-based trailing stop is initialized and dynamically updated in the trend direction.
Visual Synchronization
MA, cloud, trailing stop, and candles all change color in real time to reflect the current trend state.
Practical Use
Trend Confirmation
Sustained price action outside the cloud indicates strong directional momentum.
Breakout Identification
Band crosses highlight potential trend starts, especially when aligned with volatility expansion.
Trade Management
Trail Mode provides objective, volatility-based exits for trend-following strategies.
Quick Market Scanning
Color-coded candles and cloud structure allow fast visual assessment across multiple symbols and timeframes.
Customization
Adjust MA type and length to control responsiveness
Tune band multipliers for volatility sensitivity
Switch between Cloud and Trail modes depending on strategy
Customize color schemes to match your chart layout

• Level Proximity (%): How close price must be to "test" a level (default: 0.25%)
• Require Wick Touch: If enabled, requires high/low to touch proximity band.
Signal Validation
• Lock Range (%): Price range for validation (default: 0.5%)
• Validation Ticks: Consecutive bars required (default: 3)
• Validation Time: Minimum seconds for real-time confirmation (default: 5)
• Minimum Hold Bars: Stay in position for at least this many bars (default: 5)

💡 USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Start with Macro mode to see the complete VWMA spectrum, then switch to Micro for cleaner charts.
2. Use Intrabar mode when your broker provides lower timeframe data.
3. Focus on high-grade signals (B+ or better) for higher probability setups.
4. Wait for validation to complete before acting on signals.
5. Use the Lock Price line as your reference for position management.

Volume-Based Indicator — Data Granularity & Table Guide
1) Critical warning about data granularity (read first)
Important: This indicator is built entirely on volume-derived calculations (volume, volume delta, and related flow metrics). Because of that, its precision is only as good as the granularity and history of the data you feed it.
The most granular view is a tick-based interval (e.g., 1T = one trade/tick). If tick-based intervals are not available for your symbol or your plan, the closest time-based approximation is a 1-second chart (1S).
If you enable any "high-precision / intrabar" options (anything that relies on the smallest updates), make sure you understand which TradingView plan you are using, because intrabar historical depth (how many bars you can load) varies by plan. More history generally means more stable baselines for volume statistics, regime detection, and long lookback features.
Plan-related notes (TradingView)
TradingView limits how many intrabar historical bars can be loaded, depending on your plan. The exact limits are defined by TradingView and can change over time, but as of the current documentation, the intrabar limits are:
• Basic: 5,000 bars
• Essential: 10,000 bars
• Plus: 10,000 bars
• Premium: 20,000 bars
• Expert: 25,000 bars
• Ultimate: 40,000 bars
Tick charts / tick-based intervals are currently positioned as a feature of professional-tier plans (e.g., Expert/Elite/Ultimate). Availability may also vary by symbol and data feed.
Volume Momentum Radar📊 Volume Momentum Radar — Smarter Volume, Clear Momentum
Volume Momentum Radar is a simple, zero-nonsense improvement on the standard volume indicator. It helps you instantly see when volume matters by combining:
Relative Volume
Price Momentum
…in a single, easy-to-read volume pane.
Instead of just plotting raw volume, this tool highlights when rising volume is actually aligned with momentum, helping you quickly spot meaningful participation vs noise.
🧠 What it measures
The indicator calculates:
Relative Volume
Volume compared to its moving average to detect unusually high or low activity.
Momentum
You can choose:
RSI-based momentum (default)
or Rate of Change (ROC)
Momentum is centered so:
above 0 = bullish momentum
below 0 = bearish momentum
🎨 Color Logic (at a glance)
Each volume column is colored according to both volume and momentum:
🟢 Bright Green – high volume + bullish momentum
🔴 Bright Red – high volume + bearish momentum
🟦 Blue – neutral / choppy
🌫️ Gray – low relative volume (quiet market)
🟩 Teal – bullish momentum, normal volume
🟫 Maroon – bearish momentum, normal volume
The orange line is the Volume Moving Average, your baseline for relative volume.
👀 Optional extra information
Turn on the settings toggle to show:
📈 Relative Volume as a line
⚡ Normalized momentum line
This is helpful if you want a more analytical view rather than just colors.
✅ How traders commonly use it
identify high-participation breakouts or breakdowns
filter fake moves on low volume
visually time trend continuation vs exhaustion
confirm price action with momentum-aligned volume
It is designed to be:
clean
fast to read
beginner-friendly
useful on any market or timeframe
🔔 Notes
Does not repaint
Works on crypto, forex, indices, stocks, futures
Best paired with:
trend tools
