Displacement## Displacement Indicator (Institutional Momentum Filter)
This indicator highlights **true price displacement** — candles where price moves with **abnormal force relative to recent volatility**.
It is designed to help traders distinguish **real momentum** from normal market noise.
Displacement often precedes:
- Breaks of structure
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
- Strong continuation or meaningful pullbacks
This tool focuses on **confirmation**, not prediction.
---
### 🔍 How Displacement Is Defined
A candle is marked as *displacement* only when **all conditions are met**:
• Candle body is larger than a multiple of ATR (volatility-adjusted)
• Candle body makes up a high percentage of the full candle (strong close)
• Directional conviction (bullish or bearish close)
This filters out:
- Small or average candles
- Wick-heavy indecision
- Low-quality breakouts
---
### 🎯 What This Indicator Is Best Used For
✔ Confirming impulsive moves
✔ Validating structure breaks
✔ Anchoring Fair Value Gaps
✔ Filtering low-probability setups
✔ Identifying institutional participation
Works best on **M5, M15, and H1**, especially during **London and NY sessions**.
---
### ⚠️ Important Notes
• This is **not** a buy/sell signal by itself
• Best used with trend, structure, or liquidity context
• Not designed for ranging or low-volatility markets
Think of this indicator as a **momentum truth filter** —
if displacement is missing, conviction is likely missing too.
---
### ⚙️ Inputs Explained
• ATR Length – defines normal volatility
• ATR Multiplier – how aggressive displacement must be
• Minimum Body % – ensures strong candle closes
All inputs are adjustable to fit different markets and styles.
---
### 🧠 Philosophy
Displacement reflects **commitment**, not anticipation.
This tool helps you wait for **proof**, not hope.
---
If you want, I can:
- Tighten this for **ICT-style language**
- Rewrite for **beginner clarity**
- Add a **“How I personally use it”** section
- Optimize it for **TradingView algorithm visibility**
**Tell me which you want changed.**

SCOTTGO - RVOL Bull/Bear Painter (Real-Time) SCOTTGO - RVOL Bull/Bear Painter (Real-Time Momentum Detection)
📌Overview
The RVOL Bull/Bear Painter is a Pine Script indicator designed to instantly highlight high-momentum candles driven by significant Relative Volume (RVOL).
It provides a clear visual signal (bar color, shape, and label) when a candle's volume exceeds its average by a user-defined threshold, confirming strong bullish or bearish interest in real-time. This helps traders quickly identify potential institutional accumulation/distribution or breakout/breakdown attempts.
✨ Key Features
Relative Volume (RVOL) Calculation: Automatically calculates the ratio of the current bar's volume to its moving average (SMA or EMA) over a customizable lookback period.
Momentum Confirmation: Paints the candle green (bullish) or red (bearish) only when both price direction and high RVOL criteria are met.
Real-Time Detection: Uses a plotshape method to display the signal triangle as soon as the RVOL and direction conditions are met on the currently forming candle, aiming for faster alerts than bar-close coloring.
Customizable Threshold: Easily adjust the RVOL multiplier (e.g., 1.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x) to filter out noise and only focus on truly significant volume events.
Labels and Alerts: Displays a volume multiplier label (e.g., BULL 2.55x) and includes pre-configured alert conditions for automated notifications.
🛠️ How to Use It
1. Identify High-Conviction Moves
Look for the painted candles and the corresponding labels. A candle painted green with a BULL label (e.g., BULL 2.5x) indicates that buyers stepped in with 2.5 times the typical volume to drive the price higher.
2. Configure Your Sensitivity
The power of the script lies in customizing the inputs:
RVOL Lookback Period: Determines the length of the volume moving average.
Shorter periods (e.g., 9-20) make the indicator more reactive to recent volume changes.
Longer periods (e.g., 50-200) require a much larger volume spike to trigger a signal.
RVOL Threshold: This is the multiplier.
Lower values (e.g., 1.5) will generate more signals.
Higher values (e.g., 3.0) will generate fewer, but generally higher-conviction, signals.
3. Set Up Alerts
Use the pre-configured alert conditions (Bullish RVOL Signal and Bearish RVOL Signal) in TradingView's alert menu. Crucially, set the alert frequency to "Once per bar" or "Once per minute" to receive notifications as soon as the high RVOL event occurs, without waiting for the bar to close.
Raeinex Momentum Liquidity IndexEntry arrow signals with volumetric momentum (buying and selling pressure) and the possibility to use all entry signals as liquidity area for price retest.

[AlscapeLabs] HTF Candle Stack (Multi-Timeframe)
Overview
The HTF Candle Stack (Multi-TF) indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed to overlay high-timeframe (HTF) price action directly onto your current chart, independent of the chart's price scale. This gives traders a clear, aligned, and non-overlapping view of simultaneous price movements across customizable timeframes.
By stacking the candles horizontally next to the chart's price action, the indicator allows for quick identification of multi-timeframe correlation, trend confluence, and key levels without switching chart timeframes.
Key Features
6 Independent Stacks: Configure up to 6 separate timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly) to view the complete market fractals from micro to macro.
Price-Aligned Visualization : All HTF candle stacks are perfectly aligned with the main chart's vertical price axis
Replay Mode Safe : Includes dedicated logic to prevent "duplicate candles" during Bar Replay, ensuring accurate backtesting and historical analysis.
Toggleable Stacks : Each stack can be individually enabled or disabled via input settings
Dynamic Spacing : The distance between active stacks is automatically calculated and adjusted based on the visibility of the preceding stack.
Settings Guide
Stack Configuration (1 - 6)
Each of the six stacks has identical controls:
Show/Hide : Enable or disable this specific stack.
Timeframe : The specific HTF to display (e.g., "60" for 1 Hour, "D" for Daily).

Developed by AlscapeLabs
EMA 8 / 20 / 200Created to easily use the 8/20/200 strategy.
This indicator is designed to give a clear, multi-timeframe view of trend, momentum, and structure using three exponential moving averages.
1. Trend direction (EMA 200 – pink)
The 200 EMA acts as the long-term trend filter.
Price above the 200 EMA suggests a bullish market bias.
Price below the 200 EMA suggests a bearish market bias.
Many traders avoid taking trades against this higher-timeframe direction.
2. Momentum and trade bias (EMA 20 – blue)
The 20 EMA reflects short-term momentum.
When price respects the 20 EMA in an uptrend, pullbacks often provide continuation entries.
In downtrends, the 20 EMA frequently acts as dynamic resistance.
3. Entry timing (EMA 8 – yellow)
The 8 EMA is a fast reaction line used for precise timing.
Crosses of the 8 EMA over the 20 EMA can signal momentum shifts.
Strong trends often show price holding above (or below) the 8 EMA during impulse moves.
4. Confluence and trade filtering
The indicator works best when the EMAs are aligned:
Bullish alignment: EMA 8 > EMA 20 > EMA 200
Bearish alignment: EMA 8 < EMA 20 < EMA 200
Misaligned EMAs usually indicate consolidation or low-probability conditions.
5. Risk management context
EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance:
Stops are often placed beyond the 20 EMA or 200 EMA depending on trade horizon.
Loss of EMA structure is a warning sign that the trend may be weakening.
In short, the indicator is a trend-first, momentum-second framework that helps you decide when to trade, in which direction, and when to stay out.
Monthly Hotness RSI (Auto-Calibrated)Indicator of the previous months volatility/vol compared to averages over the last 3-5 years. helps show trend and if the market is 'hot'. indicator is good for showing favourable market conditions.
RSI Divergence LiquidityRSI Divergence Liquidity is an indicator designed to help you catch high-probability BUY reversals by combining two powerful concepts:
OANDA:XAUUSD
Liquidity Sweep / Swing Low: automatically marks swing-low levels and tracks when price sweeps below them and reacts back.
Bullish RSI Divergence: filters noise by comparing RSI at the swing area versus RSI at the retest, favoring reversals with stronger momentum confirmation.
How it works
The script draws Swing Low lines using Pivot Lows. When a new Swing Low forms, the previous one is cut/frozen .
When price retests a Swing Low and the candle conditions are met (bar n bullish, bar n-1 bearish), the script checks:
Whether RSI at n/n-1 is higher than the RSI at the swing (bullish divergence logic)
Whether min RSI at the swing is below a threshold (default < 36) to focus on oversold swing areas
If all conditions pass, the indicator prints an upward triangle right when bar n closes → a potential BUY signal.
How to use
Enter BUY when an up triangle appears at/near the Swing Low (liquidity sweep zone).
Stop Loss idea: below the most recent swing low / below the sweep wick.
Take Profit idea: nearest supply zone, prior high, or fixed RR such as 1:2 / 1:3 depending on your system.
Recommended settings
Best on: M5–H1 (depending on your style), especially effective when price is trending down and performs a clear sweep.
For stricter filtering: lower Max minRSI at Swing (x) to only take signals from deeper RSI lows.
Smaller Pivot Lookback → more swings/signals; larger values → fewer but cleaner swings.
Note: This tool improves probability, not certainty. Combine it with market structure / key levels and proper risk management for best results.
Market + Direction + Entry + Hold + Exit v1.5 FINALOverview
This script is a complete trend-based trading framework designed to filter market conditions, determine directional bias, detect high-quality pullback entries, manage active trades, and identify trend-weakening exit points.
It is optimized for NQ futures, Gold (XAUUSD), and Bitcoin, with adaptive parameters for each asset.
The logic focuses on trading only when conditions are favorable, aligning entries with the primary trend, and avoiding low-probability setups.
1. Market Condition Filter
Before any signal appears, the script checks whether the market is active using three conditions:
ATR compared to ATR moving average (volatility condition)
Volume compared to average volume (liquidity condition)
Price distance from VWAP (suppression of mean-reversion environments)
A trade environment is considered active when at least two of these three conditions are positive.
2. Trend Direction Filter
Directional bias is defined by:
EMA21 relative to EMA55
Price relative to VWAP
Heikin-Ashi structure
When these conditions align, the script switches into long-only or short-only mode.
No counter-trend signals are displayed.
3. Entry Logic (L, L2, L3 and S, S2, S3)
The system identifies pullback entries within a confirmed trend.
Long entries require:
Uptrend confirmation
Price dipping toward EMA21 or EMA55
A constructive Heikin-Ashi candle
Market environment active
Short entries mirror the same structure in bearish conditions.
Re-entries (L2, L3, S2, S3) are given only if the trend remains intact after the first entry.
4. Hold Logic
A hold signal appears if momentum remains aligned with the trend.
Momentum is evaluated using the Stochastic indicator (K and D lines).
5. Exit Logic
An exit signal appears when:
The recent structural low (for longs) or high (for shorts) is broken, and
The EMA slope indicates weakening trend strength
This combination identifies high-probability trend exhaustion.
How to Use
Add the script to your chart.
Select an asset preset (NQ, GOLD, BTC).
Wait for the market to be active.
Follow the entry signals (L, L2, L3 or S, S2, S3).
Hold signals help confirm continuation.
Exit signals indicate potential trend reversal or weakness.

Liquidity Sweep Reentry ToolkitHere’s a clear breakdown of what your Liquidity Sweep Reentry Toolkit script does, and how you can use it on your charts:
🔎 Script Breakdown
1. Visual Controls (Inputs)
• : Master toggle to turn all visuals on/off.
• : Show labels when a liquidity sweep + ChoCh condition occurs.
• : Plot green/red triangles for bullish/bearish reentry signals.
• : Prevent multiple signals within the same swing.
• : Show HH/HL/LL/LH market structure letters.
• : Slider to adjust how dim the background of HH/HL/LL/LH labels appear.
2. Core Conditions
• Defines simple bullish () and bearish () candles.
• is a placeholder for your Change of Character logic.
3. Sweep Detection
• : Detects when price makes a new high compared to the last 5 bars.
• : Detects when price makes a new low compared to the last 5 bars.
4. Restriction Flags
• Tracks whether a sweep signal has already triggered in the current swing.
• Resets when sweeps end, so new signals can appear.
5. Composite Triggers
• : Fires when bullish candle + buy-side sweep + ChoCh condition align.
• : Fires when bearish candle + sell-side sweep + ChoCh condition align.
6. Visual Labels
• Gold labels mark “BS Sweep + ChoCh” or “SS Sweep + ChoCh” events.
• Green triangle below bar = bullish reentry.
• Red triangle above bar = bearish reentry.
• Blue HH/HL/LL/LH labels narrate market structure pivots, with adjustable transparency.
7. Alerts
• Alerts can be set for bullish or bearish sweep reentry triggers, so you get notified when conditions align.
📘 How to Use It
1. Apply to Chart
Add the script to your TradingView chart (works best on intraday timeframes like 5‑minute).
2. Configure Visuals
• Use the Visual Controls panel to toggle features on/off.
• Adjust the Label Transparency slider to dim or brighten the HH/HL/LL/LH labels.
3. Interpret Signals
• Gold labels show when a sweep + ChoCh condition occurs.
• Triangles mark potential reentry points (green = bullish, red = bearish).
• HH/HL/LL/LH labels narrate market structure shifts for clarity.
4. Set Alerts
• Use the built‑in alert conditions to get notified when bullish or bearish sweep reentry triggers fire.
👉 In short: this toolkit helps you spot liquidity sweeps, confirm with ChoCh, and visualize reentry signals, while also narrating market structure pivots. It’s modular, so you can toggle features depending on how much visual clutter you want.
🛠 Workflow Example
1. Setup
• Apply the script to your chart (e.g., 5‑minute S&P futures).
• In the indicator settings, decide which visuals you want:
• Turn on Sweep + ChoCh labels if you want to see gold tags narrating liquidity events.
• Keep Entry triangles on to highlight actionable reentry points.
• Adjust the Label Transparency slider so HH/HL/LL/LH structure labels are dim enough not to clutter.
2. Watch for Sweeps
• As price pushes above recent highs → a Buy‑side Sweep is detected.
• As price dips below recent lows → a Sell‑side Sweep is detected.
• If ChoCh logic is true at the same time, you’ll see a gold label (“BS Sweep + ChoCh” or “SS Sweep + ChoCh”).
3. Confirm Reentry
• If conditions align (bullish candle + buy‑side sweep + ChoCh), you’ll see a green triangle below the bar.
• If bearish candle + sell‑side sweep + ChoCh, you’ll see a red triangle above the bar.
• These triangles are your potential reentry triggers.
4. Narrate Market Structure
• HH/HL/LL/LH labels appear at pivots, giving you a running commentary of structure shifts.
• Example: HH → HL → HH shows bullish continuation; LH → LL → LH shows bearish pressure.
• Use the transparency slider to keep these labels subtle but visible.
5. Alerts
• Set alerts for “Bullish Sweep Reentry” or “Bearish Sweep Reentry” so you don’t miss signals even if you’re away from the screen.
📘 How to Use in Practice
• Intraday trading: On a 5‑minute chart, use the toolkit to spot liquidity grabs and confirm reentry points.
• Narration: The HH/HL/LL/LH labels help you keep track of structure without manually marking pivots.
• Decision making: Gold labels + triangles = potential trade setups. Structure labels = context for trend bias.
• Customization: Dim labels when you want a cleaner chart, brighten them when you’re focused on structure.
👉 In short: this script gives you a modular toolkit — sweeps, ChoCh confirmation, reentry signals, and structure narration — all adjustable so you can tailor the visuals to your workflow.
📈 Bullish Scenario Walkthrough
1. Market Context
• You’re watching the 5‑minute chart.
• Price has been consolidating near recent highs, building liquidity above.
2. Liquidity Sweep
• Price spikes above the prior swing high → the script detects a buy‑side sweep.
• A gold label appears: “BS Sweep + ChoCh” (if your ChoCh condition is true).
3. Change of Character (ChoCh)
• The candle closes bullish ().
• Your ChoCh condition confirms a structural shift.
• Together, sweep + ChoCh = potential reentry setup.
4. Reentry Trigger
• The script plots a green triangle below the bar.
• This marks a bullish sweep reentry signal: price grabbed liquidity and is now showing strength.
5. Market Structure Narration
• At the same time, the HH/HL labels update:
• The sweep bar prints a new HH.
• The next pivot low prints an HL.
• This narrates bullish continuation: HH → HL → HH.
6. Trade Decision
• You can use the green triangle as your entry cue.
• The HH/HL narration gives you confidence that structure supports the trade.
• Alerts can be set so you don’t miss the trigger.
7. Risk Management
• Stop placement: below the HL pivot or sweep low.
• Target: next liquidity pool above, or measured move.
🧭 How to Use This in Practice
• Gold label = liquidity event + ChoCh confirmation.
• Green triangle = actionable bullish reentry trigger.
• HH/HL narration = context for trend bias and trade management.
• Transparency slider = keep structure labels subtle so the chart stays clean.
📉 Bearish Scenario Walkthrough

DZDZ – Pivot Demand Zones + Trend Filter + Breadth Override + SL is a structured accumulation indicator built to identify high-probability demand areas after valid pullbacks.
The script creates **Demand Zones (DZ)** by pairing **pivot troughs (local lows)** with later **pivot peaks (local highs)**, requiring a minimum **ATR (Average True Range)** gap to confirm real price displacement. Zones are drawn only when market structure confirms strength through a **trend filter** (a required number of higher highs over a recent window) or a **breadth override**, which activates after unusually large expansion candles measured as a percentage move from the prior close.
In addition to pivots, the script detects **coiling price action**—tight trading ranges contained within an ATR band—and treats these as alternative demand bases.
Entries require price to penetrate a defined depth into the zone, preventing shallow reactions. After the first valid entry, a **DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)** system adds buys every 10 bars while trend or breadth conditions persist. A **ratcheting SL (Stop-Loss)** tightens upward only, using demand structure or ATR when zones are unavailable.
The focus is disciplined, volatility-aware accumulation aligned with structure.
ICT Immediate RebalanceThe ICT Concept, whereby as soon as it is created, the price makes a strong movement in its favor, requires two "Wicks" to coincide at the same level or for there to be an overlap of no more than 2 Pips, a function that this Indicator fulfills to detect them.
Trading Value RSI (NQ Tuned)The Trading Value RSI (NQ Tuned) is an indicator that applies the RSI calculation to trading value, defined as volume × close, rather than just price. It is specifically tuned for Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ), with a default RSI length of 24, overbought level at 75, and oversold level at 25 to filter out false signals from high volatility. The indicator visually colors the RSI line based on overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (blue) conditions. A horizontal midline at 50 helps identify potential trend direction changes or confirm ongoing momentum. This tool allows traders to monitor capital flow intensity, giving insight into when strong buying or selling pressure may drive short-term market moves.

---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

## COMMON QUESTIONS
**Q: How many trades per month should I expect?**
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily chart: 5-15 trades/month. 4H chart: 15-30 trades/month.
**Q: What's a good win rate?**
A: 55-65% is excellent. 50-55% is good. Below 50% needs adjustment.
**Q: Should I trade all regimes?**
A: Beginners: Only trending. Intermediate: Trending + ranging. Advanced: All except chaos.
**Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?**
A: Best on Daily and 4H. Works on 1H with more noise. Not recommended <1H.
**Q: What if I'm in a trade and regime changes?**
A: Exit immediately (if using indicator) or let strategy handle it automatically.
**Q: How do I know if I'm over-optimizing?**
A: If results are perfect on one period but fail on another. Use walk-forward testing.

A: Yes, but they're rare (1-2/month). Don't wait only for these.
**Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?**
A: Yes, but keep it simple. RSI, MACD already included. Maybe add volume profile.
**Q: What assets work best?**
A: Liquid stocks, major crypto, futures. Avoid forex spot (use futures), penny stocks.
**Q: How long to hold positions?**
A: Trending: Days to weeks. Ranging: Hours to days. Breakout: Days. Let the regime guide you.
