S_Sigma HTF Candles (UTC Draw / NY Labels)🕯️ S_Sigma HTF Candles (UTC Draw / NY Labels) Multi-Timeframe Overlay with Session Labels & Imbalances S_Sigma HTF Candles is a powerful, non-repainting overlay indicator that allows you to visualize up to 6 different Higher Timeframes (HTF) directly on your current chart. Designed specifically for traders who need context without switching tabs, this tool draws accurate HTF candles using UTC time (standard for Crypto) while labeling them with New York Timezone data (standard for Stocks/Forex). It also detects Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume Imbalances automatically. 🌟 Key Features 📊 6 Independent HTF Slots Configure up to 6 different timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W). Each slot is customizable and can be toggled on/off independently. 🌍 UTC Drawing + NY Labels (The "Sigma" Edge) Drawing: Candles are calculated strictly using UTC time to ensure wicks and bodies match exchange data (perfect for BTC/ETH). Labels: Day of the Week (Mon/Tue/Wed) and Time labels are converted to America/New_York time. Never get confused by candle closes again. #HTF Countdown Timer** See exactly how much time is left until the Higher Timeframe candle closes. Essential for timing entries at the "Candle Close." 📈 Smart Imbalance Detection FVG (Fair Value Gaps): Automatically highlights 3-candle reversal gaps. VI (Volume Imbalance): Highlights wicks that pierce previous bodies. 🏗️ Custom Session Starts Don't like the standard Daily candle? Force the Daily candle to open at 08:30 NY or 09:30 NY (Market Open) instead of Midnight UTC. ⚙️ Customization Options Visuals: Full control over Bull/Bear colors, borders, wicks, and opacity. Layout: Adjust padding, width, and spacing between timeframes to prevent overlap. Trace Lines: Optional lines tracing the Open, High, Low, and Close of the forming HTF candle. Labels: Toggle HTF names, Timers, and Day-of-Week labels on/off. 💡 How to Use Add to Chart: The indicator draws candles to the right of the current price (offset) to keep your chart clean. Check Alignment: Ensure the "Daily Name" matches your expected market session (NY Time). Spot Entries: Look for price entering an FVG (Gray box) or hitting a HTF Support/Resistance level (Wick of the HTF candle). Time Entries: Wait for the Timer to hit 00:00 for a confirmed candle close. Perfect for: Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, Wyckoff, and Multi-Timeframe Analysis.

QuantCrawler 5m ORB Pro - Opening Range with Confluence FiltersThis indicator captures the 5-minute Opening Range and generates entry signals using a breakout-then-retest methodology. It includes optional confluence filters to refine entries and reduce false signals. HOW IT WORKS 1. Captures the 5-minute Opening Range (high, low, midpoint) at your selected session open 2. Waits for price to break beyond OR high or low by your defined distance 3. After breakout, monitors for price to retest the OR midpoint 4. Signals LONG after bullish breakout + midpoint retest 5. Signals SHORT after bearish breakout + midpoint retest 6. Marks invalidated signals with (X) if price breaks through the opposite side PRE-CONFIGURED SESSIONS - NYSE - 9:30-9:35 ET - CME - 8:30-8:35 CT - London - 3:00-3:05 ET - Asia - 7:00-7:05 PM ET - Custom - Define your own session times and timezone BREAKOUT DISTANCE OPTIONS Choose between fixed points or percentage-based breakout threshold. Percentage mode automatically scales to the instrument price. CONFLUENCE FILTERS Optional filters to add confirmation before signals fire: - VWAP - Long requires price above VWAP, short requires below - EMA Slope - Confirms trend direction using 20-period EMA - Volume - Requires relative volume above 1.5x average - FVG - Requires a Fair Value Gap supporting trade direction - ATR - Filters Opening Ranges that are abnormally small or large relative to ATR When filters block a valid setup, the indicator displays a BLOCKED label so you can see what you missed and why. STATUS BOX Real-time display showing: - Current trade state (Building OR, Watching, Awaiting Retest, Long/Short Active) - OR High, Low, and Midpoint levels - Active filters and block reasons ALERTS Built-in alerts for Long Entry, Short Entry, or Any Entry.

QuantCrawler ORB Break & Retest 15m - Opening Range StrategyThis indicator automates the 15-minute Opening Range Breakout and Retest strategy. It captures the high, low, and midpoint of the first 15-minute candle, then monitors for confirmed breakouts followed by midpoint retests to generate entry signals. HOW IT WORKS 1. Captures the high, low, and midpoint of the first 15-minute candle (default 8:00-8:15 premarket) 2. Waits for price to close beyond the OR high or low by your specified breakout distance 3. After breakout confirmation, monitors for price to pull back and touch the midpoint 4. Signals LONG after bullish breakout + midpoint retest 5. Signals SHORT after bearish breakout + midpoint retest 6. Resets after each signal allowing multiple setups per session WHY 15-MINUTE ORB The 15-minute Opening Range captures more price action than a 5-minute OR, often providing stronger support/resistance levels. The 8:00 AM default captures premarket activity before the 9:30 open, giving you levels established before the crowd arrives. WHY BREAKOUT + RETEST Entering on the initial breakout often results in chop and false signals. This indicator requires confirmation - price must first prove direction by closing beyond the breakout distance, then offer a pullback entry at the midpoint. This filters out many failed breakouts. SETTINGS - Breakout Distance - Points beyond OR zone required to confirm breakout - Timezone - Select your market timezone - Opening Range Time - Customizable (default 8:00-8:15) - Session End Time - When to stop monitoring (default 4:00 PM) VISUAL OUTPUT - Green line - OR High - Red line - OR Low - Orange dotted line - OR Midpoint - Status box displays current state (Watching, Active, Closed) ALERTS Built-in alerts for Long Entry, Short Entry, or Any Entry. Works on any timeframe chart. The indicator pulls 15-minute data automatically using request.security().

Absorption DetectorSource: Prof Michael G. Credit: GreatestUsername for the coding & implementation. Zones of Support and Resistance can feel like drawing boxes on the chart. This indicator to help spot areas of possible reversal. It uses Volume Confirmation and Body-to-Wick Ratio to do this and defined as: 1. Volume Confirmation High Volume: A candle that absorbs sitting limit orders is often accompanied with higher than average volume. The indicator define this type of candle if it has a volume is greater than 250%/350% of the average volume over the last 10 candles. 2. Body-to-Wick Ratio Body vs. Wick: A candle with a small body and large wicks can indicate higher probability of reversal. You can define an absorption candle if the body of the candle is less than 50% of the total range (high-low). These settings are also customizable to your own desired settings and should be used as a visual aid.

Bull/Bear vs Base vs Index (% Change Spread)Visualizes the performance gap ("Beta Decay") between 3x Leveraged ETFs (SOXL/SOXS) and their underlying sector (SOXX), relative to the S&P 500 (SPY). This indicator is designed for traders who trade leveraged products (like SOXL/SOXS, TQQQ/SQQQ) and need to see true relative strength beyond simple price action. It calculates the percentage change over a user-defined lookback period for four instruments: Base (1x): The sector benchmark (Default: SOXX). Bull (3x): The leveraged long ETF (Default: SOXL). Bear (-3x): The leveraged inverse ETF (Default: SOXS). Index: The broad market zero-line (Default: SPY). It then plots the Spread to reveal the health of the trend: Bull Spread (Green Line): Bull % - Base % Bear Spread (Red Line): Bear % - Base % Base vs Index (Filled Area): Base % - SPY % 🧠 The Logic: Why Use Spreads? In a perfectly efficient trending market, a 3x Bull ETF should move exactly 300% of the underlying asset. However, in choppy or volatile markets, volatility decay (beta slippage) causes leveraged ETFs to underperform mathematically. Positive Spread: The leveraged ETF is successfully capturing momentum (The "Sweet Spot"). Negative Spread: The leveraged ETF is suffering from drag or the underlying asset is chopping. 📈 Recommended Trading Plan Note: This indicator works best as a filter for entry conditions, not a standalone signal. Always use proper risk management. Strategy A: The "Clean Trend" (Momentum) Goal: Enter a 3x position only when volatility drag is minimal. 1. Bull Signal: Condition 1: The Base vs Index (Area) is Green (Sector is outperforming SPY). Condition 2: The Bull Spread (Green Line) is Positive (> 0). Why: This confirms the sector is strong AND the 3x ETF is amplifying that move efficiently without decay eating the profits. 2. Bear Signal: Condition 1: The Base vs Index (Area) is Red (Sector is lagging SPY). Condition 2: The Bear Spread (Red Line) is Positive (> 0). Why: This confirms the sector is crashing and the Bear ETF is successfully capturing the downside momentum. Strategy B: The "Decay Avoidance" (Cash is King) Goal: Avoid leveraged funds during chop. Condition: If BOTH the Bull Spread and Bear Spread are Negative (< 0) (below the zero line). Action: Stay in Cash or trade the 1x underlying (SOXX) only. Why: When both spreads are negative, it mathematically proves that the market is too choppy for leverage. Both the Long and Short leveraged funds are losing value relative to the underlying asset. Features: Pine Script® v6: Updated for the latest engine performance and visuals. Dashboard Table: Real-time percentage spreads displayed directly on the chart (customizable position). Fully Customizable: Works on any sector (e.g., set inputs to QQQ/TQQQ/SQQQ for Tech). Disclaimer: Trading leveraged ETFs involves significant risk. This script is for educational purposes only.

SMT Divergence [Kodexius]SMT Divergence is a correlation-based divergence detector built around the Smart Money Technique concept: when two normally correlated instruments should be making similar swing progress, but one prints a new extreme while the other fails to confirm it. This “disagreement” can be a valuable contextual signal around liquidity runs, distribution phases, and potential reversal or continuation points. The script compares the chart symbol (primary) with a user-selected comparison symbol (for example BTC vs ETH, ES vs NQ, EUR/USD vs GBP/USD) and automatically scans both instruments for confirmed swing highs and swing lows using pivot logic. Once swings are established, it checks for classic SMT conditions: Primary makes a new swing extreme while the comparison symbol forms a non-confirming swing . To support a wider range of markets, the indicator includes an Inverse Correlation option for pairs that typically move opposite to each other (for example DXY vs EUR/USD). With this enabled, the divergence rules are logically flipped so that the script still detects “non-confirmation” in a way that is consistent with the pair’s relationship. The indicator is designed to be readable and actionable. It can draw divergence labels directly on the main chart, connect the relevant swing points with lines, show a compact information table with the last signal and settings, and optionally render the comparison symbol as a mini candle chart in the indicator pane for quick visual validation. 🔹 Features 🔸 Two-Symbol SMT Analysis (Primary vs Compare) Select any comparison symbol to evaluate correlation structure and divergence. The script fetches the comparison OHLC data using the current chart timeframe to keep both series aligned for analysis. 🔸 Inverse Correlation Mode For inversely correlated pairs, enable “Inverse Correlation” so the script interprets confirmation appropriately (for example, a higher low on the comparison instrument might be expected to correspond to a lower low on the primary, depending on the relationship). This helps avoid false conclusions when the pair naturally moves opposite. 🔸 Pivot-Based Swing with Adjustable Sensitivity Swings are detected using confirmed pivots (left bars and right bars). This provides cleaner structural swing points compared with raw candle-to-candle comparisons, and it lets you control sensitivity for different market conditions and timeframes. The script also limits stored swing history to keep performance stable. 🔸 Flexible Detection Mode: Time Matched or Independent Swings You can choose how swings are paired across instruments: Time Matched searches for a comparison swing that occurred at the same pivot time as the primary swing. Independent Swings compares each symbol’s own last two swings without requiring an exact time match. 🔸 Range Control and Noise Filtering To reduce weak or irrelevant signals: “Max Bars Between Swings” ensures the two swings being compared are close enough in structure to be meaningful. “Min Price Diff (%)” can require a minimum percentage change between the primary’s last two swing prices to confirm the move is significant. 🔸 Clear Visual Output with Tooltips When a divergence is detected, the script can print a label (“SMT”) with bullish or bearish styling and a tooltip that includes the symbol pair and the primary swing price for quick context. 🔸 Divergence Lines for Context Optional lines connect the relevant swing points, making it easier to see the exact structure that triggered the signal. One line can be drawn on the main chart and another in the indicator pane for the comparison series. 🔸 Info Table (At a Glance) A compact table can display the active symbols, correlation mode, total divergences stored, and the most recent signal type. 🔸 Alerts Included Built-in alert conditions are provided for bullish SMT, bearish SMT, and any SMT event so you can automate notifications without editing the code. 🔸 Optional Comparison Candle Panel If enabled, the indicator can plot the comparison symbol as candles in the indicator pane. This is useful for confirming whether the divergence is happening around major levels, consolidations, or impulsive legs on the secondary instrument. 🔹 Calculations This section summarizes the core logic used by the script. 1. Data Synchronization (Comparison Symbol) The comparison instrument is requested on the chart’s current timeframe so swing calculations are performed consistently: = request.security(compareSymbolInput, timeframe.period, ) This ensures pivots and swing times are derived from the same bar cadence as the primary chart. 2. Swing Detection via Confirmed Pivots Swings are detected using pivot logic with user-defined left and right bars: primaryPivotHigh = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars) primaryPivotLow = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars) Because pivots are confirmed only after the “right bars” have closed, the script stores each swing using an offset so the swing’s bar index and time reflect where the pivot actually occurred, not where it was confirmed. 3. Swing Storage and Retrieval Both symbols maintain arrays of SwingPoint objects. Each new swing is pushed into the array, and older swings are dropped once the array exceeds the configured maximum. This makes the divergence engine predictable and prevents uncontrolled memory growth. The script then retrieves the last and previous swing highs and lows (per symbol) to evaluate structure. 4. Matching Logic (Time Matched vs Independent) When “Time Matched” is selected, the script searches the comparison swing array for a pivot that occurred at the exact same timestamp as the primary swing. When “Independent Swings” is selected, it simply uses the comparison symbol’s last two swings of the same type. 5. Bullish SMT Condition (LL vs HL) A bullish SMT event is defined as: Primary forms a lower low (last low < previous low) Comparison forms a higher low (last low > previous low) If inverse correlation is enabled, the comparison condition flips to maintain logical confirmation rules The two primary swings must be within the configured bar distance window Optional minimum percentage difference must be satisfied A simple anti duplication rule prevents repeated triggers on the same structure These checks are implemented directly in the bullish detection block. 6. Bearish SMT Condition (HH vs LH) A bearish SMT event is defined as: Primary forms a higher high (last high > previous high) Comparison forms a lower high (last high < previous high) Inverse correlation flips the comparison rule Range checks, minimum difference filtering, and duplicate protection apply similarly These checks are implemented in the bearish detection block. 7. Percentage Difference Filter The optional “Min Price Diff (%)” filter measures the relative distance between the last two primary swing prices. This prevents very small structural changes from being treated as valid SMT signals. priceDiffPerc = math.abs(lastSwing.price - prevSwing.price) / prevSwing.price * 100.0 The divergence condition is only allowed to trigger if this value exceeds the user defined threshold. priceOk = priceDiffPerc >= minPriceDiff This filter is especially useful on higher timeframes or during low volatility conditions, where micro structure noise can otherwise produce misleading signals. 8. Visualization and Output When a divergence is confirmed, the script: Stores the event in a divergence array (limited by “Max Divergences to Display”) Draws a directional SMT label with a tooltip (optional) Draws connecting lines using time based coordinates for clean alignment (optional) It also updates an information table on the last bar only, and exposes alertconditions for automation workflows.

CVD Divergence Background By HKOverview This indicator visualizes Delta Divergences (also known as Absorption) directly on your main chart. It highlights candles where the price direction contradicts the underlying net volume flow (CVD). This is a powerful method to spot "traps," limit order absorption, and potential reversals. How it Works The script calculates the Intrabar Volume Delta based on price action relative to the candle's range. It then compares this Delta with the candle's color (Open vs. Close). Bearish Divergence (Absorption Top): Scenario: The candle is GREEN (Price closed higher), but the Volume Delta is NEGATIVE (Net Selling). Visual: Red Background. Meaning: Sellers are aggressively absorbing the buying pressure via limit orders. Price struggled to rise despite the volume. Bullish Divergence (Absorption Bottom): Scenario: The candle is RED (Price closed lower), but the Volume Delta is POSITIVE (Net Buying). Visual: Green Background. Meaning: Buyers are aggressively absorbing the selling pressure via limit orders. Price struggled to fall despite the volume. Features Background Highlighting: Instantly spot divergences without checking a separate oscillator window. Seamless Integration: Works perfectly behind your price candles and other indicators (like Big Trade detectors). Customizable: You can adjust the colors and transparency to fit your chart theme. Use Case Use this to identify exhausted moves. If you see a green candle with a red background at a resistance level, it suggests that buyers are running into a wall of sellers, increasing the probability of a reversal.

Let's understand each one: --- ### 1️⃣ Body Ratio (30% of score) **What it is:** The percentage of the candle that is "body" versus "wicks." **Formula:** ``` Body Ratio = Size of Body ÷ Total Candle Size × 100 ``` **What it tells you:** - **High Body Ratio (70-100%)**: Bulls or bears were in FULL control. The price moved in one direction and STAYED there. This is strong. - **Low Body Ratio (0-30%)**: There was a fight. Price moved up AND down but ended up roughly where it started. This is weak/indecisive. **Visual Example:** ``` Strong Candle (90% body): Weak Candle (20% body): │ │ ┌───┐ │ │ │ ┌─┴─┐ │ │ ← Mostly body │ │ ← Tiny body │ │ └─┬─┘ └───┘ │ │ │ ``` **How to interpret:** | Body Ratio | Meaning | |------------|---------| | 90-100% | **Marubozu** - Extremely strong, full commitment | | 70-90% | **Strong** - Clear winner (bulls or bears) | | 40-70% | **Normal** - Typical market activity | | 10-40% | **Weak** - Significant indecision | | 0-10% | **Doji** - Complete indecision, no winner | --- ### 2️⃣ Close Position Score (25% of score) **What it is:** WHERE the candle closed within its range (high to low). **What it tells you:** - For a **bullish (green) candle**: Closing near the HIGH means buyers were still eager at the end = STRONG - For a **bearish (red) candle**: Closing near the LOW means sellers were still eager at the end = STRONG **Visual Example:** ``` Strong Bullish: Weak Bullish: (closes near high) (closes near middle) ┌───┐ ← Close here │ │ │ ┌─┴─┐ ← Close here │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ │ │ ``` **Why it matters:** If price went UP but then sellers pushed it back down before the candle closed, that's a sign of weakness. The bulls couldn't hold their ground. **How to interpret:** | Close Position | For Bullish Candle | For Bearish Candle | |----------------|-------------------|-------------------| | 80-100% | Strong (near high) | Weak (near high) | | 50-80% | Moderate | Moderate | | 20-50% | Weak | Moderate | | 0-20% | Very Weak (near low) | Strong (near low) | --- ### 3️⃣ Relative Volume - RVOL (25% of score) **What is Volume?** Volume is the NUMBER of shares/contracts traded during that candle. Think of it as "how many people participated." **What is RVOL?** RVOL compares TODAY'S volume to the AVERAGE volume. **Formula:** ``` RVOL = Current Volume ÷ Average Volume (last 20 candles) ``` **What it tells you:** - **RVOL = 1.0**: Normal activity (same as average) - **RVOL = 2.0**: DOUBLE the normal activity (2x more traders involved) - **RVOL = 0.5**: HALF the normal activity (fewer traders involved) **Why it matters:** A big price move with LOW volume is suspicious - it might not last. A big price move with HIGH volume is confirmed - many traders agree. **Think of it like voting:** - High volume = Many people voted for this direction - Low volume = Only a few people voted, decision might change **How to interpret:** | RVOL | Meaning | Signal Quality | |------|---------|----------------| | 2.0+ | Very High - Institutional activity likely | ⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | | 1.5-2.0 | High - Significant interest | ⭐⭐ Good | | 1.0-1.5 | Above Average | ⭐ Acceptable | | 0.7-1.0 | Below Average | ⚠️ Caution | | < 0.7 | Low - Lack of interest | ❌ Unreliable | --- ### 4️⃣ Size vs ATR (20% of score) **What is ATR?** ATR stands for "Average True Range." It measures how much the price TYPICALLY moves. **What this component measures:** How big is THIS candle compared to how big candles USUALLY are? **Formula:** ``` ATR Ratio = This Candle's Size ÷ Average Candle Size (ATR) ``` **What it tells you:** - **ATR Ratio = 2.0**: This candle is TWICE as big as normal = Significant move - **ATR Ratio = 1.0**: This candle is normal sized - **ATR Ratio = 0.5**: This candle is HALF the normal size = Minor move **Why it matters:** A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 100 points is small. A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 20 points is HUGE. Context matters! **How to interpret:** | ATR Ratio | Meaning | |-----------|---------| | 2.0+ | **Expansion** - Unusually large move, potential breakout | | 1.5-2.0 | **Large** - Significant momentum | | 1.0-1.5 | **Above Average** - Notable move | | 0.5-1.0 | **Normal** - Typical movement | | < 0.5 | **Small** - Insignificant, might be noise | --- ## 🧮 How the Final Score is Calculated The indicator combines all 4 components with these weights: ``` Final Score = (Body Ratio × 30%) + (Close Position × 25%) + (RVOL Score × 25%) + (Size Score × 20%) ``` **Result: A score from 0 to 100** --- ## 📊 Understanding the Strength Score | Score | Classification | What It Means | Should You Trade It? | |-------|---------------|---------------|---------------------| | **70-100** | 🟢 STRONG | High conviction move, reliable signal | ✅ Yes - Good setup | | **40-70** | 🟡 MODERATE | Average move, needs confirmation | ⚠️ Maybe - Add other indicators | | **0-40** | 🔴 WEAK | Low conviction, unreliable | ❌ No - Wait for better setup | --- ## 🏷️ Special Pattern Markers The indicator also detects special candlestick patterns: ### ⚡ Power Candle **Requirements:** - Body Ratio > 70% (strong body) - RVOL > 1.5 (high volume) - Close Position > 80% (closes near the extreme) **What it means:** The BEST possible signal. Everything aligns perfectly. ### Ⓜ️ Marubozu **Requirements:** - Body Ratio > 90% (almost no wicks) **What it means:** Complete dominance by bulls or bears. Very strong continuation signal. ### ◆ High Volume Doji **Requirements:** - Doji candle (tiny body) - High volume **What it means:** Many traders are fighting, but no one won. Often signals a REVERSAL is coming. --- ## ⚙️ Settings Explained ### Volume Settings | Setting | Default | What It Does | |---------|---------|--------------| | Volume Lookback Period | 20 | How many candles to average for "normal" volume | | RVOL Threshold | 1.5 | What counts as "high" volume (1.5 = 50% above average) | ### ATR Settings | Setting | Default | What It Does | |---------|---------|--------------| | ATR Period | 14 | How many candles to calculate average movement | | ATR Multiplier | 1.5 | What counts as a "large" candle | ### Strength Thresholds | Setting | Default | What It Does | |---------|---------|--------------| | Strong Candle Threshold | 70 | Score needed to be "strong" | | Weak Candle Threshold | 30 | Score below this is "weak" | ### Label Filter (Important!)

Strat Structure Engine 3-F2 Tiered Strat Structure Engine – 3→F2 Tiered Dashboard Overview The Strat Structure Engine – 3→F2 Tiered Dashboard is a structure-focused indicator built on The Strat methodology, designed to identify, score, and tier high-quality 3 → Failed 2 (3→F2) structural failures in real time. Rather than treating all Failed 2s equally, this script evaluates structure strength, volatility, volume participation, and candle quality, producing a tiered signal system that helps traders prioritize only the most meaningful setups. This indicator is intended for traders who want objective structure validation, not subjective pattern guessing. Core Concepts This script focuses on three-bar structure transitions, specifically: 3 → Failed 2 (3→F2) Supporting context via 3→1 and 1→3 structural sequences Optional Inside Bar detection for compression awareness The primary edge comes from grading the quality of the 3→F2, not merely detecting it. 3→F2 Tiered Scoring System When a confirmed 3-bar is followed by a strict Failed 2, the script assigns a numeric score (0–8) based on four objective components: 1. Three-Bar Structure Quality Measured using ATR-based range expansion: Large expansion relative to ATR receives higher scores Ensures the setup originates from meaningful volatility, not noise 2. Failed 2 Close Quality Evaluates where price closes relative to the midpoint of the prior 3-bar: Strong closes through the midpoint score higher Weak or indecisive closes are downgraded 3. Body Dominance Measures the body-to-range ratio of the Failed 2 candle: Large, decisive bodies indicate real participation Wicks and indecision reduce the score 4. Relative Volume Confirmation Compares current volume against a moving average baseline: Elevated volume confirms acceptance Low volume reduces conviction Tier Classification Based on the total score, each valid 3→F2 is classified into a tier: A+ Tier → Exceptional structure, volatility, and participation A Tier → High-quality, trade-worthy setup B Tier → Valid but lower-confidence structure Below Threshold → Ignored (filtered out) Only setups meeting a minimum quality threshold are labeled, helping reduce chart clutter and overtrading. Visual & Dashboard Features Clear directional labels plotted above or below bars Tier designation and score display (e.g., 6/8) Configurable toggles for: Failed 2 labels 3→1 and 1→3 sequence labels Inside Bar labels 3→F2 tier labels Designed to work cleanly across all timeframes and instruments Intended Use This indicator is best used as: A structure qualification layer, not a standalone entry trigger A tool to rank setups, not force trades Confirmation alongside: Key levels (VWAP, Value Area, prior highs/lows) Order flow or delta tools Session context (RTH, Globex, IB) What This Indicator Is Not Not a prediction tool Not a signal that guarantees outcome Not a replacement for risk management It objectively answers one question only: “Is this 3→Failed 2 structurally strong enough to matter?”

Liquidity Sweep Guardian (Universal % or point based) Liquidity Sweep Guardian - Complete User Guide ## Overview The **Liquidity Sweep Guardian** is a visual warning system designed to prevent premature counter-trend trades (fades) near Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) levels. This indicator helps you avoid one of the most common trading mistakes: fading too early before liquidity sweeps complete. --- ## 🎯 Core Trading Principle ### **THE GOLDEN RULE: Don't Fade Until It's Unlocked** Price often **accelerates into key levels** to sweep liquidity before reversing. Trading against this momentum is extremely dangerous. **The Process:** 1. **Danger Zone** (Red/White Box) = ⚠️ **DO NOT FADE** - Sweep likely incoming 2. **Sweep Occurs** (Triangle marker appears) = Price penetrates the level 3. **Reclaim Happens** (Price returns above/below level) = Level is tested 4. **🔓 UNLOCKED** (Gold border, green label) = **NOW you may CONSIDER a fade** > **Important:** "UNLOCKED" means you may now *consider* a fade setup. It is NOT a trade signal itself. You still need your entry confirmation, risk management, and trade plan. --- ## 📊 Visual Elements Explained ### 1. **Danger Zone Boxes (Red Border by Default)** **Two types of zones around PDH/PDL:** - **Outer Danger Zone** (White fill): ±75pts (or 0.30%) around the level - Indicates proximity to a key level where sweeps commonly occur - Yellow/cautious trading zone - **Inner Critical Zone** (Black fill): ±25pts (or 0.10%) around the level - Highest probability area for liquidity sweep traps - Avoid fading here at all costs **What to do:** - When price enters these zones, **wait and watch** - Do not initiate counter-trend positions - Allow the sweep to play out ### 2. **Unlocked Zones (Gold Border #ffeb3b)** When a zone turns **gold/yellow** with green fill: - The level has been swept AND reclaimed - The liquidity grab is complete - You may now look for fade opportunities with proper confirmation ### 3. **PDH/PDL Lines** - **PDH Line** (Red): Previous Day High with price label - **PDL Line** (Green): Previous Day Low with price label - These are your key reference levels for the session ### 4. **Sweep Labels** **Triangle Markers (SWEEP):** - **Green Triangle** = Clean sweep (10-25pts penetration) - **Orange Triangle** = Extended sweep (25-50pts penetration) - **Red Triangle** = Deep penetration (50+ pts) - likely continuation, not reversal **Warning Labels:** - **⚠️ DEEP CONTINUATION?** = Penetration too deep, probably NOT a reversal setup **Unlock Labels:** - **🔓 LONG UNLOCKED** = PDL swept and reclaimed, may consider long fades - **🔓 SHORT UNLOCKED** = PDH swept and reclaimed, may consider short fades --- ## ⚙️ Settings Guide ### **Calculation Mode** **Use Percentage Mode (Default: ON)** - ✅ **Enabled**: Universal mode - works on NQ, ES, RTY, stocks, crypto, forex - ❌ **Disabled**: Fixed points mode - for specific instruments only **When to use each:** - **Percentage Mode**: Trading multiple instruments, or instruments with varying price levels - **Fixed Points Mode**: Single instrument focus (e.g., only trading NQ at current levels) ### **Danger Zone Settings** **Percentage Mode (Default for Universal Use):** - **Danger Zone**: 0.30% each side (≈75pts on NQ@25,000) - **Critical Zone**: 0.10% each side (≈25pts on NQ@25,000) **Fixed Points Mode (For NQ Specifically):** - **Danger Zone**: 75 points each side - **Critical Zone**: 25 points each side **Adjustment Tips:** - For more volatile instruments: Increase percentages/points - For less volatile instruments: Decrease percentages/points - For higher timeframes: Use wider zones - For lower timeframes: Use tighter zones ### **Sweep Classification** **What defines a "real" sweep:** - **Minimum**: 10pts / 0.04% - Shallow penetration may not grab enough liquidity - **Optimal**: 10-25pts / 0.04-0.10% - "Goldilocks zone" for reversal setups - **Extended**: 25-50pts / 0.10-0.20% - Deeper sweep, less reliable - **Continuation**: 50+pts / 0.20%+ - Too deep, likely NOT reversing **Max Bars for Reclaim**: 5 bars (default) - Price should reclaim the level relatively quickly - If it takes too long, the sweep may have failed ### **Visual Customization** **Box Settings:** - **Left Extension**: 60 bars (how far back the box extends) - **Right Extension**: 50 bars (how far forward the box extends) **Toggle Options:** - Show/Hide Danger Zone Boxes - Show/Hide PDH/PDL Lines - Show/Hide Price Labels on lines - Show/Hide Sweep Labels - Show/Hide Unlock Labels ### **Color Customization** All colors are fully customizable: - Danger Zone Fill & Border - Critical Zone Fill & Border - Unlocked Zone Fill & Border - PDH/PDL Line Colors - PDH/PDL Label Colors - Border Widths (1-5 pixels) - Line Widths (1-5 pixels) --- ## 🎓 Trading Strategy Examples ### **Example 1: Long Setup at PDL** 1. **Morning**: Price approaches PDL (danger zone appears) 2. **Don't Fade Yet**: Price enters critical zone - resist urge to buy 3. **Sweep**: Price drops 15pts below PDL (green triangle appears) 4. **Reclaim**: Price closes back above PDL within 3 bars 5. **🔓 UNLOCKED**: Gold border + "LONG UNLOCKED" label appears 6. **Trade Setup**: Now look for bullish confirmation (order flow, structure, etc.) ### **Example 2: Avoiding a Trap at PDH** 1. **Afternoon**: Price rallies into PDH danger zone 2. **Temptation**: You want to short here (it "looks toppy") 3. **Sweep**: Price breaks 50pts above PDH (red triangle + ⚠️ warning) 4. **Continuation**: Deep penetration suggests continuation, not reversal 5. **Result**: No unlock occurs, price keeps running higher - trap avoided! ### **Example 3: Failed Unlock (No Trade)** 1. Price sweeps PDL by 12pts (green triangle) 2. Price struggles to reclaim PDL, stays below for 10+ bars 3. No "UNLOCKED" label appears 4. **Correct Action**: Do not fade - sweep failed to reclaim --- ## 📱 Alerts The indicator includes built-in alerts for: - **Entering Danger Zones**: Get warned when price approaches PDH/PDL - **Sweep Detection**: Know immediately when a level is swept - **Unlock Signals**: Get notified when fade setups become available - **Continuation Warnings**: Alert when penetration suggests continuation **To Set Alerts:** 1. Right-click indicator → "Add Alert" 2. Select desired alert condition 3. Configure notification preferences --- ## ⚠️ Important Disclaimers ### **What This Indicator IS:** ✅ A visual warning system to prevent premature fades ✅ A tool to identify when liquidity sweeps have completed ✅ A framework for counter-trend trade timing ### **What This Indicator IS NOT:** ❌ A complete trading system ❌ An entry signal generator ❌ A guarantee of trade success ❌ A substitute for proper risk management ### **Always Remember:** - "UNLOCKED" = You may CONSIDER a fade (not a signal to trade) - You still need your own entry confirmation - You still need proper stop placement - You still need position sizing and risk management - Not every unlock leads to a successful trade - Market context and order flow still matter --- ## 🔧 Recommended Settings by Instrument ### **NQ (Nasdaq-100 E-mini Futures)** - Mode: Percentage or Fixed Points - Percentage: 0.30% / 0.10% (default) - Fixed Points: 75pts / 25pts (default) ### **ES (S&P 500 E-mini Futures)** - Mode: Percentage - Danger: 0.25% / Critical: 0.08% - Or Fixed Points: 15pts / 5pts ### **RTY (Russell 2000 E-mini Futures)** - Mode: Percentage - Danger: 0.35% / Critical: 0.12% - Or Fixed Points: 8pts / 3pts ### **Stocks (High Volume Large Caps)** - Mode: Percentage (recommended) - Danger: 0.20-0.40% / Critical: 0.08-0.15% - Adjust based on ATR and volatility ### **Crypto (BTC, ETH)** - Mode: Percentage (essential) - Danger: 0.40-0.60% / Critical: 0.15-0.20% - Higher volatility requires wider zones --- ## 💡 Pro Tips 1. **Use on Higher Timeframes**: Works best on 5min, 15min, 1hr charts 2. **Combine with Order Flow**: Use with footprint/delta for confirmation 3. **Watch Volume**: Strong volume on sweep = better reversal potential 4. **Consider Time of Day**: Sweeps during RTH often more reliable 5. **Multiple Timeframes**: Check if higher TF also shows unlock 6. **Don't Force Trades**: Not every session produces clean setups 7. **Journal Results**: Track which unlock types work best for you 8. **Respect Continuation Signals**: When indicator says "too deep," listen --- ## 🆘 Troubleshooting **Q: Box isn't showing up** A: Check that "Show Danger Zone Boxes" is enabled in Visual Settings **Q: No price on labels** A: Enable "Show Price Labels on Lines" in Visual Settings **Q: Zones seem too tight/wide** A: Adjust Danger Zone % or points based on current volatility **Q: Getting too many/too few unlocks** A: Adjust sweep classification thresholds (min/max penetration) **Q: Want thicker/thinner lines** A: Adjust line widths in "PDH/PDL Line Colors" section **Q: Colors not matching my chart theme** A: Fully customize all colors in the color settings groups --- ## 📚 Additional Resources - Study price action around PDH/PDL on your instruments - Learn about liquidity sweeps and stop hunts - Understand market structure and order flow - Practice identifying setups on replay/historical data - Keep a trading journal of unlock scenarios --- *Remember: The best trade is often the one you don't take. This indicator helps you avoid the trades you shouldn't take, so you can focus on the ones you should.*

Cave Diving 3 Lines System 🤿 Cave Diving Dashboard - A Deep Dive into Market Structure ## The Cave Diving Analogy Imagine you're a cave diver exploring underwater caverns. As you descend deeper, you encounter different layers of the cave system: - **The Surface (Internal Levels)** - Where you currently are, constantly shifting with each breath - **The First Chamber (De Novo Levels)** - Your last known safe position, recently established - **Deep Caverns (External Levels)** - Ancient, untouched chambers deeper in the system Just as a cave diver must constantly monitor their position relative to these reference points, traders must track price action against key structural levels. --- ## 🎯 Understanding the Three-Tiered System ### 📍 **INTERNAL LEVELS** (Current 15m Candle) *Your real-time position in the market* **Internal High** 🟡 - The highest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle **Internal Low** 🟢 - The lowest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle **Think of these as:** - Your current depth while actively diving - They update continuously as price moves - Status shows "Updating" when actively changing, "Intact" when stable - These are NOT trade levels—they're awareness zones **Key Insight:** When Internal Low drops below De Novo Low, you're in **Situation A** (bearish pressure building)—the indicator highlights this with red coloring. --- ### 🎯 **DE NOVO LEVELS** (Previous Closed 15m Candle) *Your most recent confirmed safe zone* **De Novo High** 🔵 - The high of the last completed 15-minute candle **De Novo Low** 🟣 - The low of the last completed 15-minute candle **Etymology:** "De Novo" = Latin for "from new" or "anew"—these are freshly established reference points **Think of these as:** - The last solid ground you stood on - Your most recent confirmed position - The bridge between where you are (Internal) and where you've been (External) **Status Tracking:** - **⬆️ Upgrade** - Level moved favorably (Higher high for resistance, Higher low for support) - **⬇️ Downgrade** - Level moved unfavorably (Lower high, Lower low) - **＝ Same** - No structural change from previous candle **Trading Significance:** - Primary reference points for intraday structure - Breaking De Novo levels often signals directional commitment - Can merge with External Level 1 when they align (shown as "DN🟰Ext1") --- ### ⛽🤿 **EXTERNAL LEVELS** (Unmitigated Historical 15m Levels) *Deep liquidity pools waiting to be discovered* **External High 1 & 2** 🟢🔵 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m highs **External Low 1 & 2** 🟠🌸 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m lows **Think of these as:** - Untouched chambers in the cave system - Liquidity pools that smart money is targeting - Levels that "remember" and attract price **What Makes a Level "Unmitigated"?** - **Highs**: Price has NOT yet traded through them (broken above) - **Lows**: Price has NOT yet swept them (broken below) - Once touched, they're "mitigated" and removed from tracking - The indicator automatically maintains the two most recent unmitigated levels **Why "External"?** They exist outside your current candle structure—historical reference points that institutions use for: - Stop loss placement - Profit taking targets - Liquidity hunting zones --- ## 🎨 Color Coding System ### HIGHS (Resistance/Targets) - Cool Colors - 🔵 **Ext High 2** - Light Blue (Distant target) - 🟢 **Ext High 1** - Lime Green (Primary target) - 🔵 **De Novo High** - Cyan (Recent resistance) - 🟡 **Internal High** - Lemon Yellow (Current ceiling) ### LOWS (Support/Stops) - Warm Colors - 🟢 **Internal Low** - Lime (Current floor) - 🟣 **De Novo Low** - Purple (Recent support) - 🟠 **Ext Low 1** - Orange-Red (Primary stop zone) - 🌸 **Ext Low 2** - Pink (Distant support) --- ## 📊 Dashboard Breakdown ### The Table Shows: 1. **Level** - Which level you're tracking 2. **Price** - Exact price of the level 3. **Pts** - Distance from current price (+ above, - below) 4. **Status** - Current state or role of the level ### Special Features: - **⏰ Countdown Timer** - Shows time remaining until next 15m candle close (next De Novo update) - **⚠️ Proximity Alerts** - Bottom row warns when within threshold distance of key levels (default: 25 points, adjustable) --- ## 🎯 Trading Applications ### **For Buyers (Going Long):** - **Entry Zone**: Between De Novo Low and Ext Low 1 - **Stops**: Below Ext Low 1 (or Ext Low 2 for wider stops) - **Targets**: De Novo High → Ext High 1 → Ext High 2 - **Confirmation**: Internal Low holds above De Novo Low ### **For Sellers (Going Short):** - **Entry Zone**: Between De Novo High and Ext High 1 - **Stops**: Above Ext High 1 (or Ext High 2 for wider stops) - **Targets**: De Novo Low → Ext Low 1 → Ext Low 2 - **Warning**: Watch for Situation A (Internal Low < De Novo Low) ### **Risk Management:** - **DN🟰Ext1** status means De Novo = External 1 (tighter range, use caution) - Proximity alerts help you avoid chasing price into resistance/support - "Updating" status on Internal levels = active volatility - "Upgrade/Downgrade" signals = structural shift in progress --- ## ⚙️ Customization Options ### Lookback Period - Default: 500 candles (searches 125 hours of 15m data) - Increase for more historical External levels - Decrease for focus on recent structure ### Proximity Threshold - Default: 25 points - Set based on your instrument's average range - Lower = tighter alerts (for scalping) - Higher = strategic warnings (for swing trading) ### Visual Customization - Line thickness (1-5) - Line style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) - All colors fully customizable - Show/hide lines independently --- ## 🧭 The Cave Diving Mindset **Never dive deeper than you can safely return from.** In trading terms: - Know your Internal position (real-time awareness) - Respect your De Novo levels (recent structure) - Hunt for External liquidity (where the targets are) - Always have an exit plan (stops below Ext Lows, above Ext Highs) The market, like a cave, has structure. This indicator illuminates that structure across three timeframes of reference, helping you navigate with precision rather than guessing in the dark. --- ## 🎓 Key Takeaways 1. **Internal** = Real-time, unfinished, awareness only 2. **De Novo** = Just confirmed, primary reference, updates every 15m 3. **External** = Historical, unmitigated, high-probability targets/stops 4. **Upgrades/Downgrades** = Trend signals 5. **DN🟰Ext1** = Structural alignment (tighter range) 6. **Situation A** = Bearish warning (Internal < De Novo Low) --- ## 📝 Credits *"In cave diving, you plan your dive and dive your plan. In trading, you plan your levels and trade your levels."* **Indicator:** Cave Diving Dashboard - Part 1: Price Levels **Timeframe:** Optimized for 15-minute structure on any chart timeframe **Philosophy:** Structure first, price second. Know where you are, where you've been, and where the liquidity waits. --- Happy Diving! 🤿📈

Algorithmic Volume Rejection Zones [AVRZ]Hello traders, I am pleased to release the Algorithmic Volume Rejection Zones (AVRZ). This is a specialized decision-support system designed to identify high-probability reversal points by synthesizing candle geometry, market structure, and statistical volume anomalies. Trading reversals often presents a dilemma: wait for confirmation and miss the move, or enter early and get stopped out by noise. AVRZ solves this by quantifying "Institutional Absorption." It filters out weak price probes and highlights only the specific moments where significant volume has stepped in to defend a price level. 🛡️ The Concept: Attacking The Zonesl You will often see price aggressively "attack" a support or resistance level with speed and high volume. To the untrained eye, this looks like a breakout. However, professional analysis reveals that this is often an Efficiency Event—liquidity is being absorbed by passive limit orders. The AVRZ indicator is specifically engineered to detect this phenomenon. When price strikes a level and volume spikes (>2.0 Sigma), it signals that the auction is becoming efficient and a reversal is imminent. The script captures this "Attack" via the Climax Bypass logic, plotting a fresh zone immediately to mark where the liquidity was defended.
