Hanzo Strategy - Volume & Smart Money📊 HANZO STRATEGY - Complete Description
## 🎯 Strategy Overview
The **Hanzo Strategy** is an advanced institutional trading system that combines Volume Profile analysis, Smart Money Concepts, and Price Action patterns to identify high-probability trade setups. This strategy is specifically designed for trading Gold (XAUUSD), NAS100, and US30 on the 15-minute timeframe.
---
## 🧠 Core Trading Philosophy
The Hanzo Strategy operates on the principle that **institutional money leaves footprints** in the market through:
- Volume accumulation at key price levels
- Liquidity sweeps and stop hunts
- Order block formations
- Strategic wick rejections at support/resistance
By identifying these institutional behaviors and combining them with precise volume analysis, the strategy aims to trade **with** the smart money, not against it.
---
## 🔑 Key Components
### 1️⃣ **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)**
- **What it does:** Analyzes the last 2 days of price action and calculates where the most volume traded
- **Point of Control (POC):** The price level with the highest trading volume - acts as a magnet for price
- **How we use it:** Price tends to revert to POC. When price is far from POC and starts moving toward it, we prepare for entries
- **Visual:** Yellow cross line on the chart marking the POC
### 2️⃣ **Wick Cluster Detection**
- **What it does:** Automatically identifies price levels where multiple candle wicks have rejected (2-6+ wicks)
- **Why it matters:** Multiple rejections at the same level indicate strong institutional support/resistance
- **Upper wick clusters:** Resistance zones where price was rejected downward
- **Lower wick clusters:** Support zones where price was rejected upward
- **Visual:** Dashed lines (red for resistance, green for support)
### 3️⃣ **Session Volatility Boxes**
- **London Session (8:00-16:00 UTC+3):** Captures European market volatility range
- **New York Session (13:30-20:00 UTC+3):** Captures US market volatility range
- **How we use it:** These ranges often act as support/resistance for the rest of the day
- **Visual:** Blue box for London, Orange box for New York
### 4️⃣ **Smart Money Zones**
**Order Blocks:**
- Strong institutional areas where banks and hedge funds placed large orders
- **Bullish Order Block:** Area where smart money bought heavily before a strong upward move
- **Bearish Order Block:** Area where smart money sold heavily before a strong downward move
- **Visual:** Green/Red filled boxes with "Bull OB" or "Bear OB" labels
**Liquidity Sweeps:**
- Price breaks above recent high or below recent low, then quickly reverses
- This is a "stop hunt" - institutions triggering retail stops before moving in the real direction
- **Bullish Sweep:** Price dips below support, grabs stops, then reverses up
- **Bearish Sweep:** Price pops above resistance, grabs stops, then reverses down
- **Visual:** Triangle markers (green up = bullish, red down = bearish)
### 5️⃣ **Engulfing Pattern Recognition**
- **Bullish Engulfing:** Large green candle fully engulfs the previous red candle - shows strong buying pressure
- **Bearish Engulfing:** Large red candle fully engulfs the previous green candle - shows strong selling pressure
- **How we use it:** Confirmation signal when combined with other factors
- **Visual:** Small circles below/above candles
### 6️⃣ **Trend Bias Indicator**
- Dynamically calculates market bias based on price position relative to POC
- **Bullish:** Price > 0.2% above POC
- **Neutral:** Price within 0.2% of POC
- **Bearish:** Price > 0.2% below POC
- **Visual:** Label at top of chart showing current bias
---
## 📈 Entry Signal Logic
The strategy generates **LONG** and **SHORT** signals based on confluence of multiple factors:
### 🟢 LONG ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses above POC from below + Trend Bias is Bullish
**OR**
2. **Support Bounce:** Price touches a lower wick cluster + Bullish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bearish
### 🔴 SHORT ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses below POC from above + Trend Bias is Bearish
**OR**
2. **Resistance Rejection:** Price touches an upper wick cluster + Bearish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bullish
---
## 🎯 Risk Management
### Stop Loss:
- **Calculation:** 2 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Logic:** Uses Average True Range to adapt to current market volatility
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, stop loss is 20 points away
### Take Profit:
- **Calculation:** 3 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Risk:Reward Ratio:** 1:1.5 (risking 2 ATR to make 3 ATR)
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, take profit is 30 points away
### Position Sizing:
- **Default:** 2% of account equity per trade
- **Adjustable:** Can be modified in strategy settings

## 💡 Pro Trading Tips
### 1. **Multiple Timeframe Confirmation**
- Check 1-hour chart for overall trend before taking 15-minute signals
- Only take LONG signals if 1-hour is bullish
- Only take SHORT signals if 1-hour is bearish
### 2. **POC Strategy**
- Best entries occur when price returns to POC after being far away
- Wait for POC touch + confirmation pattern (engulfing, order block)
- POC acts as support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
### 3. **Wick Cluster Strategy**
- Strongest signals occur when wick clusters align with POC
- Look for 4+ wicks at the same level for highest probability
- Recent clusters (formed in last 2 days) are stronger than old ones
### 4. **Order Block Strategy**
- Fresh order blocks (just formed) are more powerful
- Wait for price to return to order block zone before entering
- Best when order block + wick cluster occur at same level
### 5. **London/NY Box Strategy**
- If price breaks above session high → look for LONG pullback entries
- If price breaks below session low → look for SHORT pullback entries
- Price often returns to session mid-point before continuing
### 6. **Risk Management Rules**
- **Never risk more than 2% per trade**
- **Don't trade more than 3 positions simultaneously**
- **If 2 losses in a row, reduce size to 1% or stop for the day**
- **Move stop to breakeven after 1:1 profit reached**
### 7. **High-Probability Setups**
Look for **CONFLUENCE** - the more factors aligned, the better:
✅ **BEST LONG SETUP:**
- Price at lower wick cluster (support)
- Price at/near POC

Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman) blends classic Fibonacci swing analysis with modern volume-flow reading to create a unified, projection-based market framework. The indicator automatically detects the latest swing high and swing low, builds a complete Fibonacci structure, and then projects future extension targets with clear visual pathways.
What makes this tool unique is the integration of two volume-based systems directly into the Fibonacci structure. A Fib-aligned Volume Profile shows how bullish and bearish volume accumulated inside the swing range, while a separate Delta Profile reveals the imbalance of buy–sell pressure inside each Fibonacci interval. Together, these elements transform the standard Fibonacci tool into a multi-dimensional structural and volume-flow map.
█ How It Works
The indicator first detects the most recent swing high and swing low using the Period setting. That swing defines the Fibonacci range, from which the script draws retracement levels (0.236–0.786) and builds a forward projection path using the chosen Projection Level and a 1.272 extension.
Along this path, it draws projection lines, target boxes, and percentage labels that show how far each projected leg extends relative to the previous one.
Inside the same swing range, the script builds a Fib-based Volume Profile by splitting price into rows and assigning each bar’s volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close ≤ open). On top of that, it calculates a Volume Delta Profile between each pair of fib levels, showing whether buyers or sellers dominated that band and how strong that imbalance was.
█ How to Use
This tool helps traders quickly understand market structure and where the price may be heading next. The projection engine shows the most likely future targets, highlights strong or weak legs in the move, and updates automatically whenever a new swing forms. This ensures you always see the most relevant and up-to-date projection path.
The Fib Volume Profile shows where volume supported the move and where it did not. Thick bullish buckets reveal zones where buyers stepped in aggressively, often becoming retestable support. Thick bearish buckets highlight zones of resistance or rejection, particularly useful if projected levels align with prior liquidity.
The Delta Profile adds a second dimension to volume reading by showing where buy–sell pressure was truly imbalanced. A projected Fibonacci target that aligns with a strong bullish delta, for example, may suggest continuation. A projection into a band dominated by bearish delta may warn of reversal or hesitation.

Volume Buzz - Real-Time Relative Volume MonitorDon't trade in the dark—know if the market is paying attention.
This indicator displays a simple dashboard on your chart that tells you if the current volume is Higher or Lower than the 20-day average for this specific time of day.
Green Text: High Relative Volume (RVol > 1). Good for spotting breakouts and momentum.
Red Text: Low Relative Volume (RVol < 1). Indicates consolidation or lack of interest.
Includes an optional "Realtime Adjustment" to predict the volume closing value before the bar actually closes.
Relative Volume EMA (RVOL)Relative Volume EMA (RVOL) measures the current bar’s volume relative to its typical volume over a selected lookback period.
It helps traders identify whether a price move is supported by real participation or if it’s occurring on weak, low-quality volume.
This version uses:
RVOL = Current Volume ÷ Volume EMA
Volume EMA Length: adjustable
Signal Threshold: a customizable horizontal line (default = 1.2)
How to Use
1. RVOL > 1.2 → High-Quality Momentum
A value above 1.2 indicates that the current bar has at least 20% more volume than normal, suggesting:
Strong conviction
Algorithmic activity
Momentum-backed breakout or breakdown
Higher probability trend continuation
These bars are ideal for confirming entries after a technical setup (e.g., pullback, engulfing pattern, Ichimoku trend confirmation, etc.).
2. RVOL < 1.0 → Weak or Low-Quality Move
When RVOL is below 1.0:
Volume is below average
Moves are more likely to fail or reverse
Breakouts are unreliable
Triggers lack institutional participation
These bars are best avoided for trade entries.
Why This Indicator Is Useful
In many strategies, price alone is not enough.
RVOL acts as a filter to ensure that your signals occur during times when the market is actually active and committed.
Typical use cases:
Confirm trend-following entries
Validate pullbacks and breakout candles
Filter out low-volume chop
Identify session-based volume surges
Improve risk-to-reward quality by entering only during true momentum
Recommended Settings
EMA Length: 20
Threshold Line: 1.2
Works well on Forex, Crypto, and Indices
Best used on 15m, 30m, 1H, and 4H charts

This indicator builds a full trade workflow from raw order flow imbalances. It finds aggressive buy and sell imbalances, promotes the strongest ones into key levels, and manages each level through its entire life cycle. Every level becomes a visual zone on the chart that updates in real time as the market moves.
It is built for short-term traders who want clarity, speed, and a structured decision process based on imbalances instead of guesswork.
If you rely on order flow, imbalance zones, or systematic retest setups, this tool helps you stay consistent and understand the story behind each move.
Cumulative Volume Delta - LineA simple tweak to the CVD indicator from TradingView for better readability.
Use it to spot absorption and exhaustion at key levels.
For example,
Price is making higher highs while CVD is making lower highs - possible exhaustion of buyers
Price is making lower highs while CVD is making higher highs - possible absorption of buyers
Price is making lower lows while CVD is making higher lows - possible exhaustion of sellers
Price is making higher lows while CVD is making lower lows - possible absorption of sellers
Championship Scalper [Trend & Trap]Championship Scalper
Overview This is a high-precision scalping indicator designed to capture Liquidity Traps (Swing Failure Patterns). It waits for price to "sweep" a key level (grabbing stop losses) and immediately reverse, signaling that smart money has entered the market.
How it Works (The "Confluence" Engine) A signal is only generated when four specific conditions align perfectly:
The Trap: Price must sweep a Swing High or Low and close back inside the range (rejection).
The Trend: Trades are only taken in the direction of the dominant trend (using a 200 EMA).
Price > EMA = Longs only.
Price < EMA = Shorts only.
The Momentum (RSI): Prevents buying tops or selling bottoms.
Longs: RSI must be trending UP and sitting in the bullish zone (30-60).
Shorts: RSI must be trending DOWN and sitting in the bearish zone (60-30).
The Confirmation (CVD): Verifies the move with Order Flow (Cumulative Volume Delta) to ensure hidden volume supports the reversal.
Visual Signals
Green Triangle (▲): Bullish Signal. Validated dip-buy opportunity.
Red Triangle (▼): Bearish Signal. Validated short-sell opportunity.
Dashboard A mini-panel in the bottom right displays the current Trend Status (Bullish/Bearish) and the exact price levels of the most recent active Swing Highs and Lows.
CVD Power & Whale Tracker Overview: What is it?
This indicator combines Order Flow, Volume Analysis, and Momentum into a single dashboard. Instead of just looking at price, it looks at effort (Volume) versus result (Price Action) to identify when Institutions (Whales) are stepping in.
1. The Core Engine: "Pressure" (Z-Score)
At the heart of the indicator is the Z-Score of Volume Delta.
The Logic: It calculates the "Volume Delta" (Buying Volume minus Selling Volume) for every candle. It then compares the current candle's delta to the average of the last 20 candles.
The Output:
Zero Line: Buying and Selling pressure is balanced.
Positive Bar (> 0): Buyers are more aggressive than usual.
Negative Bar (< 0): Sellers are more aggressive than usual.
Extreme Values (> 2 or < -2): This represents statistically significant aggression (2 Standard Deviations from the mean). This usually marks the start of a breakout or a climax.
2. Whale Detection (Institutional Activity)
Retail traders trade small size; Institutions (Whales) trade large size.
The Logic: The script calculates the average volume of the last 50 bars. If the current bar's volume is 2.5x higher than that average, it flags it as a "Whale" bar.
Visual: The Histogram bar turns Yellow.
Meaning: Smart money is active. Pay attention to the direction of the next few candles.
3. Absorption (The "Smart Money" Signal)
This is the most powerful signal in the script. It detects when one side is trapping the other.
Bullish Absorption (Cyan Dot):
Condition: Huge Volume (Whale) + Net Selling Pressure (Red Delta) + Price refuses to drop (closes in the upper half).
Meaning: Sellers are dumping hard, but a passive buyer (Limit Order) is "absorbing" all the sell orders. This is essentially a hidden support wall.
Bearish Absorption (Orange Dot):
Condition: Huge Volume (Whale) + Net Buying Pressure (Green Delta) + Price refuses to rise (closes in the lower half).
Meaning: Buyers are pushing hard, but a passive seller is absorbing the buy orders. This is a hidden resistance wall.
4. Money Flow (Accumulation/Distribution)
Although the purple line was removed from the chart to keep it clean, the math still runs in the background for the Dashboard.
The Logic: It uses the standard Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) formula. It checks if money is flowing into the asset (Close near High) or out (Close near Low) relative to volume.
Dashboard: If the trend of Money Flow is up, the table says "Accumulation (In)". If down, "Distribution (Out)".
5. CVD Trend (Blue/Orange Line)
What is CVD? Cumulative Volume Delta. It keeps a running total of buying vs. selling volume over time.
Usage:
Blue: Positive Slope (Buying Trend).
Orange: Negative Slope (Selling Trend).
Divergence: If Price is making a Lower Low but the CVD Line is making a Higher Low, it means sellers are exhausted (Bullish Divergence). The script highlights the background in Green when this happens.

Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman) is an advanced market-structure and order-flow visualizer that maps where the market traded, where it did not, and how buyer-vs-seller pressure accumulated across the entire price range.
The core of the indicator is a price-by-price volume profile built from Bullish and Bearish volume assignments. The script highlights:
True zero-volume voids (regions of no traded volume)
Bull/Bear imbalance rows (horizontal volume slices)
A multi-section Delta Panel, showing aggregated Buy–Sell pressure per vertical sector
A clean separation between profile structure, volume efficiency, and delta flows
Together, these components reveal market inefficiencies, displacement zones, and fair-value regions that price tends to revisit — making it an exceptional tool for structural trading, order-flow analysis, and contextual confluence.
Highlights
Identifies true volume voids (untraded price regions), more precisely than standard FVG tools
Plots Bull vs Bear volume at each price row for fine-grained imbalance reading
Includes a sector-based Delta Grid that aggregates Buy–Sell dominance
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The indicator scans a user-defined Lookback window and divides the full high–low range into Rows. Each bar's volume is allocated into the correct price bucket:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close <= open
This produces three values per price level:
Bull Volume
Bear Volume
Total Volume & Imbalance Profile
Rows where no volume at all occurred are marked as volume gaps — signaling true untraded zones, often produced by impulsive imbalanced moves.
⚪ Zero-Volume Gaps (True Voids)
Unlike candle-based Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), volume gaps identify the deeper, structural inefficiency: Price moved so fast through a region that no trades occurred at those prices. These areas often attract revisits because liquidity never exchanged hands there.
⚪ Bull/Bear Volume Imbalance
Every price row is drawn using two colored horizontal segments:
Bull segment proportional to bullish volume
Bear segment proportional to bearish volume
This reveals where buyers or sellers dominated individual price levels.
⚪ Delta Panel
The full volume profile is cut into Summary Sections. For each block, the script computes: Δ = (Bull Volume − Bear Volume) ÷ Total Volume × 100%
█ How to Use
⚪ Spot True Voids & Inefficiencies
Zero-volume zones highlight where the price moved without trading. These areas often behave like:
Refill zones during retracements
Targets during displacement
Thin regions price slices through quickly
Ideal for both SMC-style trading and structural mapping.
⚪ Identify Bull/Bear Control at Each Price Level
Broad bullish segments show zones of buyer absorption, while wide bearish slices reveal seller control.
This helps you interpret:
Where buyers supported the price
Where sellers defended a level
Which price levels matter for continuation or reversal
⚪ Use Delta Sectors for Contextual Direction
The delta panel shows where market pressure is accumulating, revealing whether the profile is dominated by:
Bullish flow (positive delta)
Bearish flow (negative delta)
Neutral flow (balanced or minimal delta)

Delta Volume BubblesDelta Volume Bubbles
Visualize order flow delta at specific price levels with automatic threshold detection
Overview
Delta Volume Bubbles is an order flow indicator that displays volume delta at individual price levels within each candle, rather than showing aggregate candle delta. This level-by-level analysis shows where buying and selling pressure is concentrated, helping identify key support and resistance zones based on actual order flow.
Key Features
Level-Based Delta Calculation : Unlike traditional delta indicators that show total candle delta, this indicator calculates and displays delta for each price level within the candle's range, providing granular order flow information.
Automatic Threshold Detection : The indicator automatically calculates dynamic thresholds using a rolling window analysis (similar to volume spike detection). Three threshold levels are determined:
2.5x average delta (normal bubbles)
3.5x average delta (large bubbles)
5.0x average delta and above (huge bubbles)
Intrabar Analysis : Uses lower timeframe intrabar data to calculate delta for each price level. The indicator automatically selects the appropriate lower timeframe based on your chart timeframe.
Delta Calculation : Uses proprietary delta deduction logic that considers:
Candle body size and range
Upper and lower shadows (wicks)
Body-to-range ratio
Price action characteristics
Proportional Delta Distribution : When an intrabar crosses multiple price levels, its delta is distributed proportionally based on the overlap between the intrabar's range and each level.
Dynamic Level Sizing : Price levels are calculated using ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, with a minimum of the symbol's minimum tick size.
Visual Bubble Sizes : Three distinct bubble sizes correspond to the three threshold multipliers, indicating the magnitude of delta at each level.
Color Coding :
Green bubbles indicate bullish delta (buying pressure)
Red bubbles indicate bearish delta (selling pressure)
Optional Labels : Display delta values directly on bubbles with K/M/B formatting (K for thousands, M for millions, B for billions).
How It Works
Level Creation : For each confirmed candle, the indicator divides the price range into multiple levels based on ATR calculations. Each level represents a specific price zone within the candle.
Intrabar Data Collection : The indicator requests lower timeframe intrabar data (OHLCV) to analyze price action within the main candle. The lower timeframe is automatically selected based on your chart timeframe.
Delta Calculation : For each intrabar, the indicator calculates delta using proprietary logic that considers body size, wicks, and price action characteristics.
Level Distribution : Each intrabar's delta is distributed across all price levels it crosses, proportionally based on the overlap between the intrabar's range and each level.
Threshold Calculation : The indicator maintains a rolling window of maximum deltas from previous candles (last 300 bars). It calculates separate averages for positive and negative deltas, then applies multipliers (2.5x, 3.5x, 5.0x) to determine thresholds.
Bubble Display : Only price levels with delta exceeding the 2.5x threshold are displayed as bubbles. The bubble size indicates which threshold was exceeded:
Normal size = 2.5x threshold
Large size = 3.5x threshold
Huge size = 5.0x+ threshold
Label Display : If enabled, labels show the exact delta value for each displayed bubble, formatted with K/M/B notation for readability.
Use Cases
Support and Resistance Identification : Large delta concentrations at specific price levels often indicate significant support or resistance zones where institutional traders are active.
Order Flow Analysis : Understand where buying and selling pressure is concentrated within each candle, helping identify potential reversal or continuation zones.
Entry and Exit Timing : Use delta bubbles to identify optimal entry and exit points based on actual order flow, not just price action.
Market Structure Analysis : Identify key price levels where significant order flow activity occurs, helping understand market structure and potential price reactions.
Confirmation Tool : Combine with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals. For example, a bullish delta bubble at a support level can confirm a potential bounce.
Settings
Show Delta Bubbles : Toggle to enable/disable bubble display
Show Numbers in Bubbles : Toggle to show/hide delta value labels
Bullish Delta Color : Customize color for bullish (positive) delta bubbles
Bearish Delta Color : Customize color for bearish (negative) delta bubbles
Technical Notes
The indicator uses barstate.isconfirmed to ensure calculations only occur on confirmed bars, preventing repainting.
Thresholds are calculated automatically and adapt to market conditions.
The rolling window maintains the last 610 maximum deltas for threshold calculations.
Level size is calculated using ATR(14) divided by 10, adapting to current market volatility.
Delta distribution uses proportional overlap calculations when intrabars cross multiple levels.
Best Practices
Use on timeframes where intrabar data is available (typically 5 minutes and above for most symbols).
Combine with price action analysis - delta bubbles show where order flow is concentrated, but price action confirms the significance.
Look for clusters of bubbles at similar price levels - multiple bubbles at the same level may indicate support or resistance.
Pay attention to bubble sizes - larger bubbles indicate higher order flow activity.
Use in conjunction with other order flow tools for comprehensive market analysis.
This indicator breaks down delta into price levels, providing level-by-level order flow information based on market microstructure.
JokaBAR
This script combines my own liquidity/liq-levels engine with open-source code from BigBeluga’s Volumatic indicators:
• “Volumatic Variable Index Dynamic Average ”
• “Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels ”
The original code is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is reused here accordingly.
What this script does
Joka puts Volumatic trend logic, dynamic support/resistance and a custom liquidation-levels module into a single overlay. The idea is to give traders one clean view of trend direction, key reactive zones and potential liquidation areas where leveraged positions can be forced out of the market.
Volumatic logic is used to build a dynamic average and adaptive levels that react to volume and volatility. On top of that, the script plots configurable liquidation zones for different leverage tiers (e.g. 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x).
How to use it
Apply the script on pairs where leverage is actually used (perpetual futures / margin).
Use the Volumatic average as a trend filter (above = long bias, below = short bias).
Treat Volumatic support/resistance levels as key reaction zones for entries, partials and stops.
Read the liquidation levels as context: clusters show where forced liquidations can fuel strong moves and bounces.
Keep the chart clean — this tool is designed to be used without stacking extra indicators on top.
The script is published as open-source in line with TradingView House Rules so that other traders can study, tweak and build on it.
VIDYA + MA Cloud + Volume Chaser Co-Pilot + Duration+TRPThis indicator has been designed to automate entries and exits, combining a unique set of volume indicators for entry conditions, and another set of probability indicators for exit conditions.
Entry Conditions:
-VIDYA (Volumatic Variable Index Dynamic Average) Indicator for the over-arching trend
-EMA/RMA cloud is the dynamic trend confirmation. A crossover confirms entry conditions when in-line with the VIDYA trend.
-MTF VIDYA Dashboard is our visual confirmation of volume
-Co-pilot monitors LTF volume and exits or re-enters depending on the 3 LTF confluences
Exit Conditions:
-Trend Duration Forecast - Altered the Hull MA to calculate previous VIDYA trend lengths and averages it out to forecast current trend
-Trend Reversal Probability - Altered to work with the duration forecast. It's the primary source of information for exits which overrides the VIDYA trend (which can be lagging)
-Co-Pilot monitors delta volume changing on the LTF's for quick exits
The trend length probability bar is driven by trend length, not reversal probability. Coloured green for early trends, orange for mature trends, and red for expired trends. This gives a visual for when to look for other exit confluences, especially when a trend has exceeded its average duration and is aligned with the reversal probability %.
Candles are coloured dependent on the EMA/RMA cloud. Green above, White within, Red below.

BORSA 321 - HTF Volume Delta Highlighter Overview
HTF Volume Delta Highlighter is a multi-timeframe tool that builds a compact higher-timeframe (HTF) candle panel on the right side of your chart and injects volume delta, fair value gaps (FVG) and volume imbalance (VI) directly into those candles.
Instead of constantly switching charts, you see:
Where buy vs sell volume is dominating on HTF
Which HTF candles left inefficiencies (FVG / VI)
Key open / high / low / close levels projected back onto your current timeframe
How much time is left for each HTF candle to close
All of this lives visually on your current chart, making it perfect for scalpers and intraday traders who rely on higher-timeframe context.
What It Shows
For up to six higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W), the indicator plots:
1. HTF Candle Panel on the Right
Each HTF is drawn as a mini candle strip to the right of price.
You can control:
How many candles per HTF to display
Space between candles
Space between timeframes
Overall offset from current price
This creates a clean HTF “dashboard” without touching your main candles.
2. Volume Delta Inside Each HTF Candle
When delta mode is enabled:
Each HTF candle body is split into:
Buy volume segment (green)
Sell volume segment (red)
The split is proportional to cumulative buy vs sell volume across the entire HTF period.
Optionally, the delta value itself (buy volume − sell volume) is printed:
Positive delta inside the buy segment
Negative delta inside the sell segment
This gives a visual and numeric read of who is in control on that higher timeframe.
3. HTF Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Within each HTF strip, the script detects and highlights fair value gaps:
Bullish FVG: shaded with a green tone, optionally labeled FVG+
Bearish FVG: shaded with a red tone, optionally labeled FVG-
A line is also drawn through the midpoint of the FVG zone.
These zones quickly show where price left inefficiencies on the higher timeframe that may act as magnets or reaction levels.
4. Volume Imbalance (VI) Zones
Between consecutive HTF candles, the script also marks volume imbalance zones:
Bullish VI zones shaded green (VI+)
Bearish VI zones shaded red (VI-)
These highlight thin or aggressively traded areas that often attract future interaction.
5. Trace Lines Back to Your Main Chart
From the most recent HTF candles, the indicator can project horizontal trace lines:
From Open, High, Low, Close of the monitored HTF candle
With separate styling for each (color, line style, width)
Optional price labels at the right edge for each level
You can choose whether these traces are anchored to the first selected timeframe or the last timeframe, giving you flexibility in what levels matter most.
6. Timeframe & Timer Labels
For each HTF strip, the indicator can show:
Timeframe label (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
Countdown timer for the current HTF candle (time remaining until close)
Labels can appear at the top, bottom, or both ends of the HTF panel.
You can choose whether labels align across all HTFs or follow each strip’s own high/low.
7. Custom Daily Session Handling
For the daily timeframe, you can override the default daily open to match your session preference:
Midnight (standard calendar day)
08:30 New York time
09:30 New York time
The script then treats that custom time as the start of your “daily” candle — useful for traders who sync with cash session opens.
8. Day of Week Labels (For Daily)
On daily HTF candles, you can optionally print a day-of-week letter above the candle:
M, T, W, T, F, S, S
This gives a quick sense of where in the week the current candle sits.
Key Inputs & Customization

Label & Timer Settings
Enable/disable HTF labels and timers
Choose label position: Top / Bottom / Both
Alignment mode: Align all strips or Follow Candles
If the chosen HTF isn’t valid for the current chart (not a proper multiple or too low), the script will show a clear on-chart message telling you to increase your chart timeframe to match the selected HTF requirements.
How It Helps Traders
Scalpers & intraday traders can stay on their low timeframe (e.g., 1m / 3m / 5m) while still seeing:
Where HTF buy/sell volume is dominant
Which HTF candles left inefficiencies that may later act as magnets or rejection zones
The exact HTF O/H/L/C levels currently active
How much time remains before the HTF bar closes (key for timing entries around closes).
Swing traders can use it to track daily and weekly HTF structure and delta while drilling down to lower timeframes for precise execution.

Delta Volume RSI1. Introduction
The Delta Volume RSI (Relative Strength Index based on Volume Delta) indicator provides a unique perspective on market momentum by analyzing the average gains and losses of the volume delta —the difference between buying and selling volume—over a specified period. Unlike traditional RSI, which focuses on price changes, this indicator evaluates shifts in market participation intensity, helping traders detect periods of accumulation and distribution through volume action.
2. Key Features
- Volume-Based Calculation: Computes RSI using the average gains and losses of delta volume rather than price changes, offering insights into buying/selling pressure.
- Dynamic Color Coding: Paints the indicator line green when above the 50 level, and red when below, enabling quick visual identification of momentum shifts around neutrality.
- Reference Levels: Clearly displays overbought (70), neutral (50), and oversold (30) lines for context on volume-driven market extremes.
- Customizable Period: Users can set the period for RSI calculation to fit their trading style and timeframe preferences.
3. How to Use
1. Interpret Colors: The indicator line turns green when volume delta momentum is bullish (above 50) and red when bearish (below 50). Overbought and oversold zones (above 70 or below 30) may highlight exhaustion in volume-driven pushes.
2. Adjustment: Modify the RSI period in the settings to tailor responsiveness.
3. Reference Line: Use the dashed gray line at 50 as a core threshold for detecting transitions between buyer and seller dominance.
How It Differs From Standard RSI
The standard RSI uses changes in closing price to calculate market momentum. In contrast, this indicator calculates RSI using the average gains and losses of the delta volume , capturing underlying shifts in buying and selling activity—even when price is flat. This makes the Delta Volume RSI especially useful for identifying divergence between volume flow and price movement, potentially signaling strong accumulation/distribution or market reversals not visible on price-based RSI alone.
Strong Candle and Probability Levels Light [SYNC & TRADE]Indicator Description: "Strong Candle and Probability Levels Light "
Core Philosophy: This indicator is not just a collection of random signals. It is a complete trading system built around two core concepts: Strength (Volume-based Candles) and Probability (Fibonacci Levels), synchronized between spot and futures markets to filter out noise and manipulations.
🎯 The "Strong Candle Defense" Strategy
The primary tactic is to enter in the direction of the market's dominant force at an optimal price.
1. Identifying Strength: The indicator identifies "Strong Candles" in real-time — candles with anomalously high volume and significant delta (buyer/seller dominance), confirmed across multiple timeframes. They are marked with circles (blue for bullish, red for bearish) and Z-level labels showing the statistical significance of the move.
2. "Ladder" Entry: We do not chase the market. The strategy is to wait for a pullback (retest) to the body of the strong candle or its key internal Fibonacci levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%) for a favorable entry. The position is built in parts ("scaling in") as the bounce is confirmed.
3. Profit-Taking Targets: The main take-profit targets are set at the external Fibonacci extension levels:
First Target: 161.8% — The classic level to secure the first portion of profits.
Second Target: 261.8% (or 227% in Light mode) — The level for capturing extended moves, where the remaining position is exited.
Refined Stop-Loss Rules and Strategy Invalidation Conditions:
Primary Stop-Loss: Placed beyond the extreme of the strong candle (the Fibonacci grid's 0% level). For a long position — below the strong candle's low; for a short position — above its high.
Strategy Invalidation Criterion: The strategy is considered invalidated, and the position should be exited, if the price closes a candle's body beyond the key protective level. This specifically means:
For a Long: A candle closes (the close price) below the low of the strong candle.
For a Short: A candle closes (the close price) above the high of the strong candle.
This criterion, especially on lower timeframes, provides a stricter and more timely signal of a setup failure than a mere wick break.
Alternative Supertrend Stop-Loss: The proprietary Supertrend line can be used as a dynamic trailing stop. The stop-loss is placed behind the Supertrend line, and a candle close beyond this line also signals a trend violation and the need to exit the position.
📊 Unique Automated Fibonacci Grids
Our Fibonacci grids are not the standard, static drawing tool. They are a dynamic profit-taking and management system.
Automatic Plotting: A new grid is automatically drawn on every new strong candle, freeing the trader from manual work.
Smart Management:
Self-Cleaning: When enabled, the grid automatically removes itself after the price has fully "filled" its range (reached the 0% level), preventing chart clutter.
Dynamic Levels: Depending on the selected type (Fibonacci Light, Standard, Extended, Geometric), a different set of internal and external levels is plotted, adapting the tool to various trading styles from scalping to position trading.
Key Difference from Standard Tools: Unlike the basic Fibonacci tool, our grids are an integral part of the trading logic. They are tied to strong candles (high-probability points), update automatically, and act as an execution system for the strategy, not just an analysis tool.
📈 Proprietary Supertrend with Advanced Filtering
We do not use the standard, off-the-shelf Supertrend. Our version is a hybrid algorithm, supercharged with volume analysis.
Dynamic ATR Multiplier: The indicator's multiplier adapts to market conditions. During high volume delta (strong buying/selling pressure), the multiplier increases, making the trend line less sensitive and helping you stay in the trade during strong impulses.
Strong Candle Filter: Supertrend signal changes can be optionally restricted to confirm only on strong candles. This drastically reduces false entries. The trend doesn't change just based on volatility (ATR), but upon confirmation by real strength (volume).
Profit Potential: Combining signals from this filtered Supertrend with the "Strong Candle Defense" strategy allows for precise entry timing in the direction of the major trend, with clear and statistically sound profit targets.
⚙️ Additional Systems for Enhanced Accuracy
Spot & Futures Sync: The indicator compares strength between spot and futures markets. A divergence (e.g., a strong long candle on spot but weakness on futures) is marked as a potential "Manipulation" (X), warning you of an unreliable signal.
Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis: Delta and volume are analyzed from lower timeframes, providing a more granular picture within a single candle of your current TF.
Supertrend Table: A quick overview of the trend direction across all major timeframes (from 5m to 1W) in a single table.
Conclusion:
The "Strong Candle and Probability Levels Light" indicator is a professional suite for traders who want to trade not just signals, but probabilities. The strategy, built around defending strong candles, combined with unique automated Fibonacci grids and an adaptive Supertrend, provides a clear plan from entry to exit. The use of market synchronization and multi-timeframe volume analysis minimizes noise and false signals, allowing you to focus on high-quality setups.
Delta Manipulation FootprintIntroduction
The Delta Manipulation Footprint indicator highlights significant shifts in volume delta between consecutive candles, helping traders visually identify potential market manipulation or strong buying/selling pressure. By analyzing the difference in buy and sell volume (delta) and its changes over time, this indicator reveals aggressive market behavior often associated with big players.
Key Features
- Calculates the absolute difference of volume delta between candles, maintaining the direction of change.
- Uses a customizable moving average and threshold multiplier to filter meaningful volume shifts.
- Colors candles green when delta difference is notably increasing, and red when decreasing, for clear visual signals.
- Fully overlays the main price chart, painting candles directly for intuitive interpretation.
How to Use
Apply this indicator to your price chart to instantly visualize periods of significant volume delta shifts. Look for green candles signaling rising buying pressure and red candles showing increasing selling pressure. Adjust the moving average length and threshold multiplier inputs to tune sensitivity to your trading style or particular market behavior. Use in conjunction with other price action and volume indicators to confirm signals and improve trade timing.
This tool is ideal for traders aiming to spot footprint-like manipulations in volume delta, aiding in the detection of institutional activity and potential market turning points.
