Discipline Box Trader — by chaitu50cDiscipline Box Trader — by chaitu50c is a rule-based price action tool built around alternating candle structures.
For each session, the indicator detects FIRST key alternating zone, marks it as a gray “Discipline Box”, and then tracks how price breaks and rotates through that zone with clear green/red segments.
The idea is simple:
The script continuously looks for alternating candle sequences:
Red → Green → Red → Green …
or
Green → Red → Green → Red …
When the sequence reaches your minimum required length (Min candles in alternate combo), it:
Finds the highest high and lowest low of that entire alternation combo.
Draws a gray rectangular box from the start of the combo to its end.
This gray region is named the “Discipline Box”.
After this Discipline Box is created:
Upside breakout → close > box high
Downside breakout → close < box low
For example if, Upside Breakout → Green Regime Segment
The gray box is visually closed at the previous bar.
A new green box segment starts from the breakout bar.
Box fill, border, and center line all turn green.
This green segment extends to the right until another breakout flips the regime.
There is a small visible gap between the gray box and the new coloured segment, clearly showing where the breakout actually occurred.
Within the same session, price may:
Break up → green segment.
Later break down through the same band → red segment.
Possibly flip again.
All of this happens inside the one original Discipline Box, giving a clean visual map of who is in control now without creating new zones.
Reset Mode
None
No automatic reset; box can persist across all data.
New Day
At each new trading day:
Current box and center line are closed.
All internal counters reset.
A completely fresh Discipline Box can form for the new day.
Gap Minutes
If time between candles exceeds Gap Threshold (minutes):
Treat this as a session break.
Close the current box and restart detection after the gap.
This ensures clarity and separation between sessions and prevents overlapping “old” structure from dominating new market conditions.
Trading Framework: 2 Trades per Discipline Box
⚠️ This is not financial advice. This is a structured usage idea to support discipline.
A suggested trading framework to pair with this indicator:
Trade 1 — First Breakout Trade
Wait for the first body-based breakout from the Discipline Box:
Upside breakout → consider a single long trade.
Downside breakout → consider a single short trade.
Use the box high, low, and midline as reference points for:
Stop placement, partial exits, or risk-reward zones.
Trade 2 — Opposite Regime Flip
If price later breaks the opposite side of the same box:
Consider exactly one more trade in the new direction (a failed breakout / reversal play).
Example: green regime first, later broken down into red → potential short trade.
After these maximum 2 trades per Discipline Box, you can:
Skip additional trades inside that session’s structure.
Wait patiently for the next session and next Discipline Box to form.
This hard rule helps avoid over-trading, revenge trades, and emotional interference — staying faithful to the “Discipline” theme.
The indicator has a built-in alert condition: Discipline Box Detected
Triggers Whenever a new gray Discipline Box is created (i.e., the first valid alternation zone for that session).
Practical Notes & Disclaimer
The indicator does not tell you when to buy or sell; it simply:
Marks a disciplined structure zone.
Shows live regime shifts (green/red).
Supports a clear “max 2 trades per box” framework.
Use on a demo first, adapt to your style, and always remember:
Your discipline matters more than the indicator.

VWAP + Scaled VIX OverlayVWAP-VIX Fusion Overlay helps traders interpret volatility in real time by placing VIX and VWAP where they belong: side-by-side with price action.
It turns the invisible (fear, volatility pressure, momentum shifts) into something clearly visible — making entries, exits, and trend evaluation easier and more accurate.
Engulfing CandlesEngulfing Candles highlights two tiers of engulfing structures on the chart:
Strong Engulfing – aggressive, high-conviction outside bars where the real body completely dominates the previous candle.
Regular Engulfing – clean outside bars that still show control, but with looser body conditions.
Both are plotted as dots directly on the price so you can quickly spot liquidity sweeps and potential reversal/continuation zones.
1. Strong Engulfing (Body + Outside Bar)
Concept:
A Strong Engulfing candle is a strict outside bar that both sweeps liquidity and shows decisive control in the body (current body fully covers the previous body).
Strong Bullish Engulfing
Plotted as a solid red dot above the bar.
2. Regular Engulfing (Outside Bar Only)
Concept:
Regular Engulfing marks strict outside bars that still show control, but without requiring the current body to completely engulf the prior body. They are weaker than Strong but still useful context for structure and liquidity sweeps.
Regular Bullish Engulfing
Plotted as a faded red dot above the bar.
3. Inputs & Customization

Bookmap Style Aggressor Bubbles
This indicator is designed to emulate the visual aesthetic of professional Order Flow software (such as Bookmap) directly within TradingView. It replaces the traditional candlestick view with a clean "Microstructure" Step Line and highlights significant volume events using dynamic "Aggressor Bubbles."
This tool is perfect for traders who practice Order Flow analysis, Scalping, or VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) and want to visualize the relative intensity of buyers and sellers without the noise of traditional wicks and bodies.
1. How it Works
Since TradingView Pine Script operates on OHLCV (Level 1) data, this indicator uses a heuristic model to approximate Order Flow dynamics:
Aggressor Bubbles (Volume Spikes):
The script calculates a Relative Volume (RVOL) metric by comparing the current bar's volume against a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
If the current volume exceeds a user-defined threshold (e.g., 2.0x the average), a bubble is plotted.
Size: The bubble size scales dynamically based on how massive the volume spike is (Small, Normal, Large, Huge).
Direction (Color): The aggressor side is approximated using the price action of the bar. If Close >= Open, it is treated as Buy Aggression (Green). If Close < Open, it is treated as Sell Aggression (Red).
Microstructure Price Line:
Standard candles can obscure the immediate path of price. This indicator includes a Step Line option that plots the closing price. This mimics the "Last Price" feed seen in DOM-based software, allowing you to see exactly where price held or broke.
2. Features
Smart Filtering: Filters out low-volume noise. You only see bubbles when "Whales" or significant liquidity changes occur.
Visual Customization: Fully adjustable colors for Buy/Sell bubbles and the price line.
Alert System: Includes a built-in alert that triggers whenever a significant Aggressor Bubble appears, allowing you to be notified of high-activity moments instantly.
Clean Aesthetic: Optimized for Dark Mode/Black backgrounds.
3. How to Use
Chart Setup (Important): For the best experience, hide your standard candles. Go to Chart Settings > Symbol and uncheck Body, Borders, and Wick.
Settings: Set your background to Black.
Interpretation:
Breakouts: Look for large bubbles pushing price through a key level. This indicates strong momentum.
Absorptions: Look for large bubbles appearing at the top/bottom of a range without price follow-through. This often suggests a reversal (Passive limit orders absorbing the aggressive market orders).
4. Technical Disclosure & Limitations
Please note that TradingView Pine Script provides access to OHLCV (History) data, not historical Tick-by-Tick or Level 2 (Depth of Market) data. Therefore, this indicator is a simulation. The "Aggressor" side is derived from bar direction, and the bubbles represent executed volume per bar, not individual tick clusters. It is intended for visual analysis and identifying high-volume nodes relative to recent history.
SHAMAZZ = Smoothed Heikin Ashi + MA + ZigZagSHAMAZZ: Smoothed Heikin Ashi + Moving Averages + ZigZag Structure
This script is a visual analysis tool that combines three components in one place:
Smoothed Heikin Ashi candles
• Candles are generated using a two-stage exponential smoothing process applied to open, high, low, and close
• Helps visualize general price direction and candle transitions
• Supports optional multi-timeframe views using TradingView’s request.security()
Moving Averages
• Includes two standard moving averages (SMA 50 and SMA 200 by default)
• These are plotted on the same timeframe as the main chart or a selected higher timeframe
• No trading signals or strategies are generated from the averages
ZigZag Pivot Mapping
• Identifies swing highs and lows based on user-selected pivot length
• Classifies pivots into simple categories such as higher high, lower high, higher low, or lower low
• Draws connecting lines between detected pivots
• Can optionally display small labels showing the pivot type
• The ZigZag is not predictive and only reflects swings already formed by the chosen pivot settings
Purpose
The script is meant as a charting helper for traders who want to visualize smoothed candles, major moving averages, and swing structure without switching indicators. It does not generate signals, alerts, or trading advice. It does not imply future outcomes, accuracy, or profitability.
Note on Higher Timeframes
When higher-timeframe values are requested, the script only displays confirmed higher-timeframe candle closes. No lookahead behavior is intended. Users who want the safest and strictest mode should keep all additional timeframe options disabled and use the indicator on one timeframe only.
How to Use
• Turn components on or off depending on your workflow
• Adjust pivot length to make the ZigZag more or less sensitive
• Use smoothed candles and moving averages as visual references
• Use ZigZag swings only for structure mapping, not for trade signals or forecasts
This tool is provided for visual analysis only and does not promise performance or predictive value.
TheStrat: Timeframe Continuity Failed 2This indicator highlights TheStrat Failed 2 reversals only when the market is in Full Time Frame Continuity (FTFC) based on your chosen timeframes.
It is designed for high-probability directional trades with strong trend confirmation.
⸻
What It Detects
Failed 2 (Reversal Setup)
A Failed 2 occurs when price breaks one side of the previous candle, then fails and closes in the opposite direction:
• Failed 2D → Bullish reversal
• Failed 2U → Bearish reversal
This produces trapped breakout traders, often leading to explosive continuation.
FTFC measures whether price is above or below the opening price of higher timeframes.
If selected timeframes are all aligned, trend conviction is strong.
You can toggle ON/OFF each timeframe to define FTFC:
• 1H
• 1D
• 1W
• 1M
• 1Q
• 1Y
Only the timeframes you select must agree.
⸻
Modes for Different Styles
This indicator supports different trading horizons.
Swing Mode (Recommended for Options 1–5 Days Out)
Focus: Fast multi-day trend continuation
Ideal holding: 1–5 days
Best for: Weekly option expirations
Enable:
• 1H → Entry trigger timeframe
• 1D → Short-term direction
• 1W → Swing trend
• 1M → Macro push behind the move
• Q / Y not required
You end up catching the 1H reversal ignition, with Daily/Weekly/Monthly backing it.
Great for:
• Tuesday–Thursday continuation plays
• Multi-day directional runs
• “Ride the weekly magnitude”
Macro Mode (Long-Term Trend Filter)
Focus: Broad market bias
Ideal holding: weeks to months
Best for: Equity swing traders, leaps, ETF positioning
Enable:
• 1W
• 1M
• 1Q
• 1Y
• 1H / 1D not required
Used to ensure you’re riding institutional trend, not counter-trend noise.
Can be paired with a lower-TF entry tool like this indicator running in Swing Mode.
Label Up “F2D FTFC↑!” —— Bullish Failed-2 triggers FTFC → long setup
Label Down “F2U FTFC↓!” —— Bearish Failed-2 triggers FTFC → short setup
Small Circles —— Failed-2 continuation while FTFC remains intact
Optional Intrabar Alerts when price begins to form a Failed-2.
All plotted entries are close-confirmed unless you enable intrabar alerts.
Symmetrical Geometric MandalaSymmetrical Geometric Mandala
Overview
The Symmetrical Geometric Mandala is an advanced geometric trading tool that applies phi (φ) harmonic relationships to price-time analysis. This indicator automatically detects swing ranges and constructs a scale-invariant geometric framework based on the square root of phi (√φ), revealing natural support/resistance zones and harmonic price-time balance points.
Core Concept
Traditional technical analysis often treats price and time as separate dimensions. This indicator harmonizes them using the mathematical constant √φ (approximately 1.272), creating a geometric "squaring" of price and time that remains proportionally consistent across different chart scales.
The Mathematics
When you select a price range (from swing low to swing high or vice versa), the indicator calculates:
PBR (Price-to-Bar Ratio) = Range / Number of Bars
Harmonic PBR = PBR × √φ (1.272019649514069)
Phi Extension = Range × φ (1.618033988749895)
The Harmonic PBR is the critical value - this is the chart scaling factor that creates perfect geometric harmony between price and time for your selected range.
Visual Components
1. Horizontal Boundary Lines
Two horizontal lines extend from the selected range at a distance of Range × φ (golden ratio extension):
Upper line: Extended above the swing high (for uplegs) or swing low (for downlegs)
Lower line: Extended below the swing low (for uplegs) or swing high (for downlegs)
These lines mark the natural harmonic boundaries of the price movement.
2. Rectangle Diagonal Lines
Two diagonal lines that create a "rectangle" effect, connecting:
Overlap points on horizontal boundaries to swing extremes
These lines go in the opposite direction of the price leg (creating the symmetrical mandala pattern)
When extended, they reveal future geometric support/resistance zones
3. Phi Harmonic Circles (Optional)
Two precisely calculated circles (drawn as smooth polylines):
Circle A: Centered at the first swing extreme (Nodal A)
Circle B: Centered at the second swing extreme (Nodal B)
Radius = Range × φ, causing them to perfectly touch the horizontal boundary lines
These circles visualize the geometric harmony and create a mandala-like pattern that reveals natural price zones.
How to Use
Step 1: Select Your Range
Set the Start Date at your swing low or swing high
Set the End Date at the opposite extreme
The indicator automatically detects whether it's an upleg or downleg
Step 2: Read the Harmonic PBR
Check the highlighted yellow row in the table: "PBR × √φ"
This is your chart scaling value
Step 3: Apply Chart Scaling (Optional)
For perfect geometric visualization:
Right-click on your chart's price axis
Select "Scale price chart only"
Enter the PBR × √φ value
The geometry will now display in perfect harmonic proportion
Step 4: Interpret the Geometry
Horizontal lines: Key support/resistance zones at phi extensions
Diagonal lines: Dynamic trend channels and future price-time balance points
Circle intersections: Natural harmonic turning points
Central diamond area: Core price-time equilibrium zone
Key Features
✅ Automatic swing detection - identifies upleg/downleg automatically
✅ Scale-invariant geometry - maintains proportions across timeframes
✅ Phi harmonic calculations - based on golden ratio mathematics
✅ Professional color scheme - clean, non-intrusive visuals
✅ Customizable display - toggle circles, lines, and table independently
✅ Smooth circle rendering - adjustable segments (16-360) for optimal smoothness
Settings
Show Horizontal Boundary Lines: Display phi extension levels
Show Rectangle Diagonal Lines: Display the geometric framework
Show Phi Harmonic Circles: Display circular geometry (optional)
Circle Smoothness: Adjust polyline segments (default: 96)
Colors: Fully customizable color scheme for all elements
Theory Background
This indicator draws inspiration from:
W.D. Gann's price-time squaring techniques
Bradley Cowan's geometric market analysis
Phi/golden ratio harmonic theory
Mathematical constants in market structure
Unlike traditional Fibonacci retracements, this tool uses √φ instead of φ as the primary scaling constant, creating a unique geometric relationship that "squares" price movement with time passage.
Best Practices
Use on significant swings - Works best on major swing highs/lows
Multiple timeframe analysis - Apply to different timeframes for confluence
Combine with other tools - Use alongside support/resistance and trend analysis
Respect the geometry - Pay attention when price interacts with geometric elements
Chart scaling optional - The geometry works at any scale, but scaling enhances visualization
Notes
The indicator draws geometry from left to right (from Nodal A to Nodal B)
All lines extend infinitely for future projections
The table shows real-time calculations for the selected range
Date range selection uses confirm dialogs to prevent accidental changes

Engulfing Detector by RWBTradeLabEngulfing Detector by RWBTradeLab
A clean, non-repainting engulfing pattern detector designed for traders who rely on price action and candle confirmation.
What this indicator does
This script automatically identifies and highlights two types of engulfing patterns on closed candles only:
1. Regular Engulfing (R EG)
* Regular Buy EG: A bullish candle fully engulfs the previous bearish candle’s high.
* Regular Sell EG: A bearish candle fully engulfs the previous bullish candle’s low.
2. E-Regular Engulfing (ER EG)
* Detects “extended” engulfing setups where a strong base candle is followed by 2 or more opposite-color candles and then a confirming engulf close.
* Useful for spotting delayed but powerful reversals.
Visuals on chart
* A rectangle (box) is drawn from the base candle to the confirmation candle.
* Optional text labels appear above/below the box (offset adjustable).
* Separate color controls for:
- Regular Buy / Regular Sell
- E-Regular Buy / E-Regular Sell
Alerts
Built-in alerts trigger only at candle close:
* R Buy EG
* R Sell EG
* ER Buy EG
* ER Sell EG
Each alert includes price and time in the message.
Key settings
* Candle Length: Scans last N closed candles (running candle excluded).
* On/Off toggles: Enable/disable each engulfing type and labels individually.
* Text Offset (%): Controls label distance from the box.
Non-repainting confirmation
All signals and alerts are calculated using confirmed bars only.
No running-bar signals → no repainting.
Best use
Works on any market and timeframe. For higher reliability, combine with:
* Key S/R zones
* Trend direction
* Volume or structure confirmation

Madstrat Strategy - Dual TF# Madstrat Strategy - Dual TF: Complete User Guide
## Overview
The Madstrat Strategy indicator is a comprehensive forex trading system that identifies high-probability trade setups based on a day-counting methodology combined with multi-timeframe EMA alignment analysis. It generates two primary signal types:
1. **Day 3 Signals** - Based on the GSD/RSD (Green Setup Day/Red Setup Day) counting system
2. **Pure Price Action (PA) Signals** - Based on EMA alignment across multiple timeframes with EQ rejection
The indicator operates on **two timeframe combinations simultaneously**:
- **15-minute / 1-hour** combo
- **30-minute / 2-hour** combo
---
## Section 1: Timeframe Signals
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Show 15m/1hr Signals | ✓ Enabled | Displays signals from the 15-minute LTF with 1-hour HTF confirmation |
| Show 30m/2hr Signals | ✓ Enabled | Displays signals from the 30-minute LTF with 2-hour HTF confirmation |
| Trade Levels Source | Most Recent | Determines which combo draws SL/TP levels |
### How It Works
Each timeframe combination operates independently with its own:
- Signal spacing rules (4 bars for 15m, 2 bars for 30m = both equal ~1 hour)
- Daily signal limits (3 Day 3 signals + 3 Pure PA signals per combo per day)
- EMA alignment checks on both LTF and HTF
**Trade Levels Source Options:**
- **15m/1hr** - Only 15m/1hr signals draw trade levels
- **30m/2hr** - Only 30m/2hr signals draw trade levels
- **Most Recent** - Whichever signal fires most recently draws levels (15m/1hr takes priority if both fire simultaneously)
---
## Section 2: Signal Colors
Customize the appearance of each signal type for each timeframe combination:
### 15m/1hr Combo
| Signal Type | Default Color |
|-------------|---------------|
| Day 3 Buy | Blue |
| Day 3 Sell | Red |
| Pure PA Buy | Aqua |
| Pure PA Sell | Fuchsia |
### 30m/2hr Combo
| Signal Type | Default Color |
|-------------|---------------|
| Day 3 Buy | Teal |
| Day 3 Sell | Orange |
| Pure PA Buy | Lime |
| Pure PA Sell | Maroon |

## Section 3: Enhanced FBR Rules
### What is FBR?
**FBR (Failed Breakout Retest)** occurs when price breaks below the previous week's low (or above the previous week's high) but fails to close outside the range, closing back inside instead. This signals a potential reversal and resets the day count to "Day 1" of a new setup sequence.
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable Enhanced FBR Rule | ✓ Enabled | Prevents FBR detection after a clean breakout |
| Show Clean Breakout Labels | ✓ Enabled | Displays labels when clean breakouts occur |
| Bull Breakout Label Color | Blue (25% transparent) | Background color for bullish breakout labels |
| Bear Breakout Label Color | Red (25% transparent) | Background color for bearish breakout labels |
### How Enhanced FBR Works
1. **Clean Breakout Detection**: A clean breakout occurs when price breaks AND closes outside the previous week's range
2. **FBR Blocking**: Once a clean breakout occurs in a week, FBR detection is disabled for the remainder of that week
3. **Weekly Reset**: Both clean breakout and FBR flags reset at the start of each new trading week (Sunday rollover)
### Label Types
- **"CLEAN BULL BO"** - Price broke above previous week high and closed above it
- **"CLEAN BEAR BO"** - Price broke below previous week low and closed below it
- **"FBR Day 1"** - Failed breakout retest detected, count reset to Day 1
---
## Section 4: Real-Time Day Labels
### Purpose
The real-time label shows a **live projection** of what today's day classification will be, updating throughout the trading session as price action develops.
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable Real-Time Day Labels | ✓ Enabled | Shows dynamic label that updates during trading |
| Real-Time Label Position | Right | Position of label relative to current candle |
| Real-Time Label Background | Yellow (20% transparent) | Background color |
| Real-Time Label Text | White | Text color |
### Label Text Meanings

| LIVE: GD Day X | Projected Green Day (continuing green trend) |
| LIVE: RSD Day X | Projected Red Setup Day (after 2+ green days) |
| LIVE: RD Day X | Projected Red Day (continuing red trend) |
| LIVE: INSIDE DAY | Price range is entirely within previous day's range |
| LIVE: FBR - GSD Day 1 | Bullish failed breakout retest detected |
| LIVE: FBR - RSD Day 1 | Bearish failed breakout retest detected |
| LIVE: ... CLEAN BULL BO | Clean bullish breakout detected |
| LIVE: ... CLEAN BEAR BO | Clean bearish breakout detected |

## Section 5: Daily Session Definition
### Instrument Presets
| Preset | Sunday Open | Friday Close | Rollover | Use Case |
|--------|-------------|--------------|----------|----------|
| Forex (FX Pairs) | 17:05 ET | 16:59 ET | 17:00 ET | EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc. |
| Metals (XAU/XAG) | 18:05 ET | 16:59 ET | 17:00 ET | Gold, Silver |
| Custom | User-defined | User-defined | User-defined | Other instruments |
### Why This Matters
The indicator uses **OANDA-style daily rollover** (5 PM Eastern) rather than UTC midnight. This ensures:
- Accurate day counting for forex markets
- Correct GSD/RSD classification
- Proper weekly level calculations
### Session Break Line
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Show Session Break Line | ✓ Enabled | Draws vertical line at daily rollover |
| Session Break Line Color | Black | Line color |
| Width | 2 | Line thickness (1-5) |
| Style | Solid | Solid, dashed, or dotted |
---
## Section 6: Day Labels (GSD/RSD System)
### The Core Day Counting Methodology
This is the foundation of the Madstrat Strategy:
1. **Green Day (GD)**: Daily candle closes higher than it opened
2. **Red Day (RD)**: Daily candle closes lower than it opened
3. **Green Setup Day (GSD)**: A green day that follows 2 or more consecutive red days
4. **Red Setup Day (RSD)**: A red day that follows 2 or more consecutive green days
### The Day 3 Signal
**Day 3** is when the setup is "mature" and ready for a trade:
- **GSD Day 3**: Third consecutive green day after a red sequence of 2+ days
- **RSD Day 3**: Third consecutive red day after a green sequence of 2+ days
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Max Historical Labels | 60 | Number of day labels to retain on chart |
| Show Day of Week Labels | ✓ Enabled | Shows M O N, T U E, etc. |
| Label Position | Top | Top or bottom of chart |
| Label Hour | 6 | Hour (0-23) when day labels appear |
| GSD/GD Label Background | Blue (25% transparent) | Green day label color |
| RSD/RD Label Background | Red (25% transparent) | Red day label color |
| Inside Day Label Background | Gray (25% transparent) | Inside day label color |
### Important Notes
- **Inside Days** do not increment the count - they are neutral
- **FBR events** reset the count to Day 1 and establish a new trend direction
- **Clean Breakouts** also reset to Day 1 but block further FBR detection that week
---
## Section 7: Daily Levels
Displays the previous day's key price levels:
### Available Levels
| Level | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Previous Day's High (PDH) | ✓ Enabled, Blue | Highest price of previous session |
| Previous Day's Low (PDL) | ✓ Enabled, Green | Lowest price of previous session |
| Previous Day's EQ | ✓ Enabled, Black | Equilibrium (midpoint of PDH/PDL) |
| 75% Level | ✗ Disabled | 75% of previous day's range |
| 25% Level | ✗ Disabled | 25% of previous day's range |
### EQ Rejection (Critical for Signals)
The **EQ (Equilibrium)** level is crucial for signal generation:
- **Bullish EQ Rejection**: Price wicks down to touch EQ, then closes above it
- **Bearish EQ Rejection**: Price wicks up to touch EQ, then closes below it
The indicator tracks these rejections throughout the day and uses them as a key filter for both Day 3 and Pure PA signals.

| 200 EMA | ✗ Hidden | Red | Long-term trend |
### EMA Alignment Requirement
For signals to fire, the EMAs must be properly "stacked":
**Bullish Alignment:**
```
Price > 9 EMA > 18 EMA > 50 EMA
```
**Bearish Alignment:**
```
Price < 9 EMA < 18 EMA < 50 EMA
```
This alignment must be present on **both** the LTF (15m or 30m) **and** the HTF (1hr or 2hr) for a signal to generate.

## Section 11: Signal Filters
### EQ Rejection Recency
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| EQ Rejection Recency (bars) | 4 | EQ rejection must occur within this many bars |
On a 15-minute chart, 4 bars = 1 hour. This ensures the EQ rejection is "fresh" and relevant.
### Session Filter
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable Session Filter | ✗ Disabled | Only allow signals during selected sessions |
| Allow Sydney Session Signals | ✓ Enabled | (Only applies if filter enabled) |
| Allow Asian Session Signals | ✓ Enabled | |
| Allow London Session Signals | ✓ Enabled | |
| Allow New York Session Signals | ✓ Enabled | |
### ADX Filter
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable ADX Filter | ✓ Enabled | Require minimum trend strength |
| ADX Threshold | 20.0 | Minimum ADX value (5.0 - 50.0) |
The ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength. Values above 20-25 indicate a trending market suitable for directional trades.

## Section 12: Signal Types Explained
### Day 3 Signals (Primary)
Day 3 signals come in two forms:
#### Day 3 Detected (Live)
Fires when the **current day is projected** to become Day 3 based on real-time price action. This is an early signal that may change if the daily candle reverses before close.
#### Day 3 Confirmed
Fires when Day 3 has been **officially confirmed** by the previous day's close. This is a more reliable signal as the day count is locked in.
**Requirements for Day 3 Buy:**
1. GSD Count = 3 (confirmed) OR Projected GSD Count = 3 (live)
2. Not an inside day (current or previous)
3. Recent bullish EQ rejection (within recency bars)
4. Bullish EMA alignment on LTF
5. Bullish EMA alignment on HTF
6. Adequate candle body (not all wick)
7. ADX above threshold (if enabled)
8. Within allowed session (if filter enabled)
9. Signal spacing requirement met
10. Less than 3 Day 3 signals already today for this combo
**Day 3 Sell** - Same requirements but bearish (RSD Count = 3, bearish alignment, bearish EQ rejection)
### Pure PA Signals (Secondary)
Pure PA signals also come in two forms:
#### Pure PA Detected (LTF Only)
Fires when the **lower timeframe conditions** are met but HTF confirmation is still pending. This is an early warning that a full signal may be imminent.
#### Pure PA Confirmed (LTF + HTF)
Fires when **both LTF and HTF** conditions are aligned. This is the full confirmation signal.
**Requirements for Pure PA Buy:**
1. Recent bullish EQ rejection
2. Bullish EMA alignment on LTF (Price > 9 > 18 > 50)
3. Bullish EMA alignment on HTF (Price > 9 > 18 > 50)
4. Adequate candle body ratio (≥30%)
5. ADX above threshold on LTF
6. Not currently an inside day
7. Signal spacing requirement met
8. Less than 3 Pure PA signals already today for this combo
9. Within allowed session (if filter enabled)
**Pure PA Sell** - Same requirements but bearish

## Section 13: Trade Levels
When a signal fires, the indicator can draw:
| Level | Style | Description |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| Stop Loss (SL) | Red dashed | Entry price ± (ATR × 1.5) |
| Take Profit 1 | Green dashed | 1:1 Risk/Reward |
| Take Profit 2 | Green dotted | 2:1 Risk/Reward |
| Take Profit 3 | Green dotted | 3:1 Risk/Reward |
These levels use a 14-period ATR for the stop loss calculation.

## Troubleshooting
### No Signals Appearing?
Check the debug table for:
1. **EQ Rejection Recent** - Is there a recent EQ rejection?
2. **LTF/HTF Positioning** - Are EMAs properly aligned?
3. **GSD/RSD Count** - Is it actually Day 3?
4. **Currently Inside?** - Inside days block signals
5. **Signal Spacing OK** - Has enough time passed since last signal?
6. **ADX value** - Is it above the threshold?
### Day Labels Not Matching Expected Count?
- Verify **Instrument Preset** matches your trading instrument
- Check if an **FBR** or **Clean Breakout** reset the count
- **Inside days** don't increment the count
- Week resets occur at **Sunday 5 PM ET** for forex
### Alerts Not Firing?
1. Ensure **Enable Dynamic Alerts** is checked
2. Verify the specific alert type is enabled (D3 Detected, D3 Confirmed, etc.)
3. Check that the alert condition is properly set up in TradingView
4. Confirm signal filters (session, ADX) aren't blocking the signal
### Understanding Detected vs Confirmed
| Scenario | Detected Alert | Confirmed Alert |
|----------|----------------|-----------------|
| Current day projected to be Day 3, candle still open | ✓ Fires | ✗ Won't fire |
| Previous day closed as Day 3, conditions met today | ✓ May fire | ✓ Fires |
| LTF aligned, HTF not yet aligned | ✓ PA Detected fires | ✗ PA Confirmed won't fire |
| Both LTF and HTF aligned | ✓ May fire | ✓ PA Confirmed fires |

Straddle and Strangle Premium# Straddle and Strangle Indicator
## Overview
The **BCA Fixed Straddle and Strangle** indicator is a powerful tool designed for options traders to analyze the combined premium behavior of Straddle and Strangle strategies on Indian indices (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, etc.). Unlike simple premium adders, this indicator visualizes the **combined price action as a true candlestick chart**, allowing for precise technical analysis on the strategy itself.
It integrates essential technical indicators—SuperTrend, VWAP, Moving Averages, and Dynamic Support/Resistance—directly onto the combined premium chart, helping traders make informed decisions based on the net value of their positions.
## Key Features
### 1. Accurate Combined Premium Chart
- **True Candlesticks**: Displays the combined Open, High, Low, and Close of the CE and PE options.
- **Spread Ticker Logic**: Uses TradingView's spread syntax (e.g., `NIFTY25DEC26000C + NIFTY25DEC26000P`) to ensure mathematically accurate High/Low calculations, avoiding the "fake wicks" common in simple addition scripts.
- **Toggle View**: Switch between a clean Candlestick chart and a simple Line chart.
### 2. Comprehensive Premium Table (5-Strike Ladder)
- Displays a real-time table on the chart overlay.
- Shows the **Selected Strike** (Center) plus **2 Strikes Above** and **2 Strikes Below**.
- For each strike, view the individual **CE Price**, **PE Price**, and **Combined Premium**.
- Helps in quickly spotting better premiums or potential adjustments without changing inputs.
### 3. Built-in Technical Analysis
Analyze the combined premium just like a regular stock:
- **SuperTrend**: Identifies the trend direction (Bullish/Bearish) of the combined premium.
- **VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)**: A key benchmark for intraday direction.
- **Moving Averages**: Configurable SMA, EMA, WMA, or RMA to track momentum.
- **ATR Stop Loss**: Dynamic trailing stop-loss levels based on volatility.
- **Dynamic Support & Resistance**: Automatically plots Swing Highs and Swing Lows to identify breakout or breakdown levels.
### 4. Flexible Strategy Selection
- **Fixed Straddle**: Select a single strike for both CE and PE.
- **Fixed Strangle**: Select different strikes for CE and PE.
- **Multi-Index Support**: Ready-to-use presets for NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, MIDCPNIFTY, SENSEX, and BANKEX.
- **Custom Symbol**: Option to manually input any other symbol.
## How to Use
1. **Select Chart Type**: Choose between "Fixed Straddle" or "Fixed Strangle".
2. **Set Symbol & Expiry**: Choose your index (e.g., NIFTY) and enter the Expiry Date (YYYY-MM-DD).
3. **Enter Strikes**:
* For **Straddle**: Enter the ATM strike.
* For **Strangle**: Enter the specific CE and PE strikes.
4. **Analyze**:
* Use the **Candlestick Chart** to read price action.
* Watch for **SuperTrend** flips for trend changes.
* Use **VWAP** as a dynamic support/resistance reference.
* Monitor the **Table** to compare premiums across nearby strikes.
## Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alert conditions for automation:
- **SuperTrend Change**: Bullish/Bearish flips.
- **VWAP Cross**: Price crossing above or below VWAP.
- **Support/Resistance Break**: Price breaking key swing levels.

Volume Pulse [ziksfx]Volume Pulse is a clean volume indicator designed to make it easier to read meaningful changes in activity without cluttering your chart. It enhances the standard volume view by supporting both classic volume and dollar volume , highlighting spikes and extreme bars and adding a compact label on the latest bar so you always see the current volume value at a glance. The script is intended to be used in a separate volume pane.
How it works
– Supports two modes: standard volume or dollar volume (close × volume).
– Colors volume bars by candle direction (up/down). Optionally, it can:
• highlight volume spikes above a moving average;
• mark the highest-volume bar over a user-defined lookback period.
– Plots a simple moving average of volume so you can quickly see when activity is above or below typical levels.
– On the latest bar, shows a small label with the current volume value, automatically abbreviated (K / M / B) and optionally prefixed with “$” in dollar-volume mode.
Inputs & customization
– Volume type: choose between standard volume and dollar volume.
– Volume MA length: controls how sensitive the moving average is to recent changes in activity.
– Spike highlighting: optional, turns on/off coloring for bars where volume exceeds the moving average.
– Highest-volume bar lookback: sets the period for detecting the highest-volume bar.
– Label position: choose whether the last-bar label appears on the left or right side of the bar, and optionally shift it slightly above the bar for better readability.
Use cases
Use Volume Pulse to:
– Spot sudden spikes in volume and compare them to the recent average.
– Identify sessions or candles with unusually high activity relative to a chosen TF.
– Visually study how volume behaves around price moves, breakouts or potential fakeouts to better understand their strength or weakness.
– Keep track of the latest bar’s volume instantly, without having to read the raw scale values.
This indicator works on any symbol that has volume data (stocks, futures, crypto and more), but volume quality may vary between markets and instruments. It is intended as an analytical and educational tool only: it does not constitute financial advice and does not provide or guarantee any trading results. Always combine volume context with your own analysis and risk management.
Price Action - Trend BarFrom Al Brooks' "Trading Price Action Trends," this indicator colors strong trend bars. Bull trend bars (green body ≥50%, close ≥60% up range, larger than 1.5x average) highlight buyer control, while bear trend bars (red body ≥50%, close ≤40% down range) show seller dominance. Use to identify trend resumption or climaxes. Philosophy: Trends persist until tested—focus on high-probability entries after pullbacks, avoiding barbwire noise.
Price Action - Inside/Outside BarsThis indicator highlights Inside and Outside bars based on Al Brooks' price action philosophy from "Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar." Inside bars (high ≤ previous high and low ≥ previous low) represent contraction and potential breakouts, often leading to two-legged moves. Outside bars (high > previous high and low < previous low with min body 50%) signal volatility and possible reversals or trends. Customizable highlights, lines, and labels help identify high-probability setups in trends or ranges. Always focus on context—buy low, sell high, and wait for confirmation.
Reversal Candlestick Setups (Doji, Outside, Extreme, Wick)Reversal Candlestick Setups – Doji, Outside, Extreme & Wick
This indicator identifies four high-probability reversal candlestick patterns across all timeframes: Doji Reversals, Outside Reversals, Extreme Reversals, and Wick Reversals. Each setup is based on clearly defined quantitative rules, allowing traders to filter noise and focus on strong reversal signals instead of relying on subjective visual interpretation.
The tool automatically scans every candle, highlights qualifying patterns on the chart, and provides alert options for both bullish and bearish versions of all four setups. This makes it suitable for intraday traders, swing traders, and positional traders seeking early reversal confirmation.
Included Setups
1. Doji Reversal Setup
Identifies candles with extremely small bodies relative to their range, combined with a smaller-than-average bar size. Useful for spotting market indecision before a directional shift.
2. Outside Reversal Setup
Flags candles that engulf the previous candle’s high–low range and exceed the average range by a multiplier. This is designed to capture strong momentum reversals driven by aggressive buying or selling.
3. Extreme Reversal Setup
Highlights large-bodied candles that dominate their overall range and exceed twice the average bar size. These signals aim to catch climactic exhaustion and institutional-level reversals.
4. Wick Reversal Setup
Detects candles with long rejection wicks, small bodies, and closes near an extreme of the range, supported by above-average bar size. Ideal for identifying sharp intrabar rejections.
Key Features
• Automatically detects all four reversal setups
• Works on all timeframes and symbols
• Customizable variables for deeper testing and optimization
• Clear bullish and bearish labels directly on the chart
• Fully integrated alert conditions for real-time notifications
• Suitable for crypto, stocks, indices, forex, and commodities
Who This Indicator Is For
• Traders who want objective, rule-based reversal detection
• Price action traders looking to enhance accuracy
• Systematic traders wanting quantifiable candlestick criteria
• Beginners learning reversal structures with visual guidance
• Professionals integrating reversal patterns into algorithmic or discretionary systems
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart and enable alerts for the specific setups you want to track (e.g., “Bullish Wick Reversal”). Combine these signals with market structure, trend filters, volume analysis, or momentum indicators for increased conviction.
