Crude Oil Time + Fix Catalyst StrategyHybrid Workflow: Event-Driven Macro + Market DNA Micro
1. Macro Catalyst Layer (Your Overlays)
Event Mapping: Fed decisions, LBMA fixes, EIA releases, OPEC+ meetings.
Regime Filters: Risk-on/off, volatility regimes, macro bias (hawkish/dovish).
Volatility Scaling: ATR-based position sizing, adaptive overlays for London/NY sessions.
Governance: Max trades/day, cool-down logic, session boundaries.
👉 This layer answers when and why to engage.
2. Micro Execution Layer (Market DNA)
Order Flow Confirmation: Tape reading (Level II, time & sales, bid/ask).
Liquidity Zones: Identify support/resistance pools where buyers/sellers cluster.
Imbalance Detection: Aggressive buyers/sellers overwhelming the other side.
Precision Entry: Only trigger trades when order flow confirms macro catalyst bias.
Risk Discipline: Tight stops beyond liquidity zones, conviction-based scaling.
👉 This layer answers how and where to engage.
3. Unified Playbook
Step Macro Overlay (Your Edge) Market DNA (Jay’s Edge) Result
Event Trigger Fed/LBMA/OPEC+ catalyst flagged — Volatility window opens
Bias Filter Hawkish/dovish regime filter — Directional bias set
Sizing ATR volatility scaling — Position size calibrated
Execution — Tape confirms liquidity imbalance Precision entry
Risk Control Governance rules (cool-down, max trades) Tight stops beyond liquidity zones Disciplined exits
4. Gold & Silver Use Case
Gold (Fed Day):
Overlay flags volatility window → bias hawkish.
Market DNA shows sellers hitting bids at resistance.
Enter short with volatility-scaled size, stop just above liquidity zone.
Silver (LBMA Fix):
Overlay highlights fix window → bias neutral.
Market DNA shows buyers stepping in at support.
Enter long with adaptive size, HUD displays risk metrics.
5. HUD Integration
Macro Dashboard: Catalyst timeline, regime filter status, volatility bands.
Micro Dashboard: Live tape imbalance meter, liquidity zone map, conviction score.
Unified View: Macro tells you when to look, micro tells you when to pull the trigger.
⚡ This hybrid workflow gives you macro awareness + micro precision. Your overlays act as the radar, Jay’s Market DNA acts as the laser scope. Together, they create a disciplined, event-aware, volatility-scaled playbook for gold and silver.
Antonio — do you want me to draft this into a compile-safe Pine Script v6 template that embeds the macro overlay logic, while leaving hooks for Market DNA-style execution (order flow confirmation)? That way you’d have a production-ready skeleton to extend across TradingView, TradeStation, and NinjaTrader.

Buyers in Control █ OVERVIEW
The "Buyers in Control" indicator identifies periods when buying pressure dominates the market by combining three key technical factors:
✓ Price Momentum - Price trading above exponential moving average
✓ Volume Confirmation - Current volume exceeding average (strong participation)
✓ RSI Strength - Momentum indicator confirming bullish bias
When all three conditions align, the indicator signals that buyers are in control of the market.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator evaluates three independent conditions:
1. PRICE POSITION: Close > EMA(21)
→ Confirms price is in an uptrend
2. VOLUME SURGE: Volume > SMA(20) × 1.2
→ Validates that the move has genuine buying interest
3. MOMENTUM: RSI(14) > 50
→ Ensures bullish momentum is present
Only when ALL three conditions are true does the indicator confirm buyer control.
█ KEY FEATURES
• Real-time Dashboard - Shows status of each condition (✓/✗)
• Visual Alerts - Green background + labels when buyers take control
• EMA Reference Line - Visual trend indicator
• Customizable Parameters - Adjust sensitivity for any market/timeframe
• Built-in Alerts - Notification when control shifts to buyers
• Clean Code - Well-documented Pine Script v6
█ SETTINGS
Price Momentum:
- EMA Length (default: 21) - Shorter = faster signals, Longer = more conservative
Volume Confirmation:
- Volume Multiple (default: 1.2) - Higher = requires stronger volume
- Volume SMA Length (default: 20) - Lookback period for average volume
RSI Momentum:
- RSI Length (default: 14) - Standard RSI calculation period
- RSI Threshold (default: 50) - Minimum RSI for buyer control
Display:
- Toggle background, labels, EMA line, and customize colors
█ USE CASES
• Trend Confirmation - Validate bullish moves before entering long positions
• Filter Weak Rallies - Avoid low-volume pumps that often reverse
• Multi-Timeframe Analysis - Check buyer control across multiple charts
• Alert System - Get notified when market regime shifts to buyers
█ BEST PRACTICES
✓ Works best in trending markets (avoid choppy/ranging conditions)
✓ Combine with support/resistance for optimal entries
✓ Test different EMA lengths for your specific asset/timeframe
✓ Use alongside risk management rules (stop losses, position sizing)
✓ Consider the dashboard to see which conditions are missing
█ TIMEFRAMES
Suitable for all timeframes:
• Intraday: 1m-15m (use EMA 9 for faster signals)
• Swing: 1h-4h (default settings work well)
• Position: Daily-Weekly (use EMA 50 for conservative signals)
█ TECHNICAL NOTES
• Pine Script v6 - Latest version for optimal performance
• No repainting - All calculations based on closed bar data
• Lightweight - Minimal CPU usage
• Open Source - Full code available for review and modification
█ ALERT CONDITIONS
1. "Buyers Take Control" - Fires when all three conditions become true
2. "Buyers Lose Control" - Fires when any condition breaks
█ LIMITATIONS
⚠ Not a standalone trading system - use as a confluence tool
⚠ May generate false signals in sideways/choppy markets
⚠ Volume data unavailable on some forex pairs (use tick volume)
⚠ Lagging by nature - confirmatory indicator, not predictive
█ CREDITS
Indicator combines classic technical analysis principles:
• EMA for trend direction
• Volume analysis for validation
• RSI for momentum confirmation
No proprietary algorithms - transparent, time-tested methods.
Swing Point PnL PressureThis indicator visualizes the cumulative profit potential of bulls and bears based on recent swing highs and lows — offering a unique lens into trend maturity, sentiment imbalance, and exhaustion risk.
🟢 Bull PnL rises as price moves above prior swing lows — reflecting unrealized gains for long positions
🔴 Bear PnL rises as price drops below prior swing highs — capturing short-side profitability
Over time, these curves diverge during strong trends, revealing which side is in control. But when they converge, it often signals that the dominant side is losing steam — a potential turning point where profit-taking, traps, or reversals may emerge.
This tool doesn’t predict tops or bottoms — it tracks the emotional and financial pressure building on each side of the market. Use it to:
Spot trend exhaustion before price confirms it
Identify profit parity zones where sentiment may flip
Time accumulation or distribution phases with greater confidence
Whether you’re swing trading or analyzing macro structure, this indicator helps you see what price alone can’t: who’s winning, who’s trapped, and who’s about to give up.
SNS 2TimeFrame 1-Candles Indicator contains 2 time frame candles. once higher candle green and lower candle smoothed then it will consider as bullish.

Global M2 Money Supply Growth (GDP-Weighted)📊 Global M2 Money Supply Growth (GDP-Weighted)
This indicator tracks the weighted aggregate M2 money supply growth across the world's four largest economies: United States, China, Eurozone, and Japan. These economies represent approximately 69.3 trillion USD in combined GDP and account for the majority of global liquidity, making this a comprehensive macro indicator for analyzing worldwide monetary conditions.
════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY FEATURES:
📈 GDP-Weighted Aggregation
Each economy is weighted proportionally by its nominal GDP using 2025 IMF World Economic Outlook data:
• United States: 44.2% (30.62 trillion USD)
• China: 28.0% (19.40 trillion USD)
• Eurozone: 21.6% (15.0 trillion USD)
• Japan: 6.2% (4.28 trillion USD)
The weights are fully adjustable through the indicator settings, allowing you to update them annually as new IMF forecasts are released (typically April and October).
⏱️ Multiple Time Period Options
Choose between three calculation methods to analyze different timeframes:
• YoY (Year-over-Year): 12-month growth rate for identifying long-term liquidity trends and cycles
• MoM (Month-over-Month): 1-month growth rate for detecting short-term monetary policy shifts
• QoQ (Quarter-over-Quarter): 3-month growth rate for medium-term trend analysis
🔄 Advanced Offset Function
Shift the entire indicator forward by 0-365 days to test lead/lag relationships between global liquidity and asset prices. Research suggests a 56-70 day lag between M2 changes and Bitcoin price movements, but you can experiment with different offsets for various assets (equities, gold, commodities, etc.).
🌍 Individual Country Breakdown
Real-time display of each economy's M2 growth rate with:
• Current percentage change (YoY/MoM/QoQ)
• GDP weight contribution
• Color-coded values (green = monetary expansion, red = contraction)
📊 Smart Overlay Capability
Displays directly on your main price chart with an independent left-side scale, allowing you to visually correlate global liquidity trends with any asset's price action without cluttering the chart.
🔧 Customizable GDP Weights
All GDP values can be adjusted through the indicator settings without editing code, making annual updates simple and accessible for all users.
════════════════════════════════════════════
📡 DATA SOURCES:
All M2 money supply data is sourced from ECONOMICS (Trading Economics) for consistency and reliability:
• ECONOMICS:USM2 (United States)
• ECONOMICS:CNM2 (China)
• ECONOMICS:EUM2 (Eurozone)
• ECONOMICS:JPM2 (Japan)
All values are normalized to USD using current daily exchange rates (USDCNY, EURUSD, USDJPY) before GDP-weighted aggregation, ensuring accurate cross-country comparisons.
══════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 USE CASES & APPLICATIONS:
🔹 Liquidity Cycle Analysis
Track global monetary expansion/contraction cycles to identify when central banks are coordinating loose or tight monetary policies.
🔹 Market Timing & Risk Assessment
High M2 growth (>10%) historically correlates with risk-on environments and rising asset prices across crypto, equities, and commodities. Negative M2 growth signals monetary tightening and potential market corrections.
🔹 Bitcoin & Crypto Correlation
Compare with Bitcoin price using the offset feature to identify the optimal lag period. Many traders use 60-70 day offsets to predict crypto market movements based on liquidity changes.
🔹 Macro Portfolio Allocation
Use as a regime filter to adjust portfolio exposure: increase risk assets during liquidity expansion, reduce during contraction.
🔹 Central Bank Policy Divergence
Monitor individual country metrics to identify when major central banks are pursuing divergent policies (e.g., Fed tightening while China eases).
🔹 Inflation & Economic Forecasting
Rapid M2 growth often leads inflation by 12-18 months, making this a leading indicator for future inflation trends.
🔹 Recession Early Warning
Negative M2 growth is extremely rare and has preceded major recessions, making this a valuable risk management tool.
════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 INTERPRETATION GUIDE:
🟢 +10% or Higher
Aggressive monetary expansion, typically during crises (2001, 2008, 2020). The COVID-19 period saw M2 growth reach 20-27%, which preceded significant inflation and asset price surges. Strong bullish signal for risk assets.
🟢 +6% to +10%
Above-average liquidity growth. Central banks are providing stimulus beyond normal levels. Generally favorable for equities, crypto, and commodities.
🟡 +3% to +6%
Normal/healthy growth rate, roughly in line with GDP growth plus 2% inflation targets. Neutral environment with moderate support for risk assets.
🟠 0% to +3%
Slowing liquidity, potential tightening phase beginning. Central banks may be raising rates or reducing balance sheets. Caution warranted for high-beta assets.
🔴 Negative Growth
Monetary contraction - extremely rare. Only occurred during aggressive Fed tightening in 2022-2023. Strong warning signal for risk assets, often precedes recessions or major market corrections.
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OPTIMAL USAGE:
📅 Recommended Timeframes:
• Daily or Weekly charts for macro analysis
• Monthly charts for very long-term trends
💹 Compatible Asset Classes:
• Cryptocurrencies (especially Bitcoin, Ethereum)
• Equity indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, global markets)
• Commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil)
• Forex majors (DXY correlation analysis)
⚙️ Suggested Settings:
• Default: YoY calculation with 0 offset for current liquidity conditions
• Bitcoin traders: YoY with 60-70 day offset for predictive analysis
• Short-term traders: MoM with 0 offset for recent policy changes
• Quarterly rebalancers: QoQ with 0 offset for medium-term trends
════════════════════════════════════════════
📋 VISUAL DISPLAY:
The indicator plots a blue line showing the selected growth metric (YoY/MoM/QoQ), with a dashed reference line at 0% to clearly identify expansion vs. contraction regimes.
A comprehensive table in the top-right corner displays:
• Current global M2 growth rate (large, prominent display)
• Individual country breakdowns with their GDP weights
• Color-coded growth rates (green for positive, red for negative)
════════════════════════════════════════════
🔄 MAINTENANCE & UPDATES:
GDP weights should be updated annually (ideally in April or October) when the IMF releases new World Economic Outlook forecasts. Simply adjust the four GDP input parameters in the indicator settings - no code editing required.
The relative GDP proportions between the Big 4 economies change very gradually (typically <1-2% per year), so even if you update weights once every 1-2 years, the impact on the indicator's accuracy is minimal.
════════════════════════════════════════════
💭 TRADING PHILOSOPHY:
This indicator embodies the principle that "liquidity drives markets." By tracking the combined M2 money supply of the world's largest economies, weighted by their economic size, you gain insight into the fundamental liquidity conditions that underpin all asset prices.
Unlike single-country M2 indicators, this GDP-weighted approach captures the true global picture, accounting for the fact that US monetary policy has 2x the impact of Japanese policy due to economic size differences.
Perfect for macro-focused traders, long-term investors, and anyone seeking to understand the "tide that lifts all boats" in financial markets.
════════════════════════════════════════════
Created for traders and investors who incorporate global liquidity trends into their decision-making process. Best used alongside other technical and fundamental analysis tools for comprehensive market assessment.
⚠️ Disclaimer: M2 money supply is a lagging macroeconomic indicator. Past correlations do not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and combine with other analysis methods.
Previous Session Lines — High, Low, and 50% LevelsThis indicator automatically marks the previous completed session’s price range on your chart. You select a daily session window (for example: 09:30–16:00) and the script calculates:
* Previous Session High
* Previous Session Low
* Previous Session 50% (Midpoint)
When a session closes, the indicator draws all three levels on the chart and extends them forward for 24 hours, giving you clean, stable reference levels for the current trading day. Only the most recent session is shown; older sessions are automatically removed.
These levels are commonly used by day traders and swing traders to identify:
* Key support and resistance zones
* Breakout or rejection levels
* Market bias for the new session
* Areas where liquidity tends to accumulate
* Price reaction levels during overnight or intraday trading
Because the lines do not update in real time during the session, the levels remain static, accurate, and truly represent the completed session.
Settings users can adjust:
Session Settings:
* Start and end time of the session (repeats daily)
* Custom session name, which appears on the line labels
Line Appearance:
* Color
* Line thickness
* Line style (solid, dashed, dotted)
Label Appearance:
* Text size (tiny to huge)
* Text color automatically adjusts to contrast with the selected line color
Why this indicator is useful:
* Makes prior session structure immediately visible
* Helps identify high-probability reaction areas
* Shows only one session to reduce clutter
* Lines stay stable regardless of chart zoom or scaling
* Labels stay aligned at the right side of the chart
* Works on all timeframes, including extended hours and crypto charts
This tool is ideal for traders who rely on structured session analysis, including day traders, futures traders, forex traders, crypto traders, and anyone using session highs and lows to guide trading decisions.

WTC Step Buy Step Edition CbyCarlo📊 WT Cross Modified – Step Buy Step Edition (v4)
WTC_StepBuyStep_Edition is an enhanced, practical, and optimized version of the classic WaveTrend (WT) Cross Indicator.
Developed for the Step Buy Step project, this tool helps traders identify market momentum shifts, structural price zones, and potential reversal areas with high clarity and precision.
🔍 Concept & Purpose
This indicator builds upon the established WaveTrend / LazyBear logic and extends it with additional structural intelligence.
The goal is to make overbought/oversold phases and trend reversals easier to spot — while also highlighting historically validated price zones where the market has previously reacted strongly.
⚙️ Key Features
1️⃣ WT Cross Signals
WT1 (yellow) and WT2 (purple) visualize market momentum.
A WT1 cross above WT2 while below the Oversold zone (−53) can indicate potential Long opportunities.
A WT1 cross below WT2 while above the Overbought zone (+53) can indicate potential Short opportunities.
Signals only confirm after candle close to prevent repainting.
2️⃣ Dynamic “WT SignalZone” Panel
Displayed in the top-right corner, this panel shows the last three valid price levels derived from WT signals:
🟢 LonLev – Buy support levels from previous WT Long signals
🔴 ShoLev – Sell resistance levels from previous WT Short signals
These zones act as objective support/resistance structures, based on historical momentum turning points — not subjective lines.
3️⃣ Flexible Calculation Modes
Choose how levels are derived from each WT signal:
Pullback 50% → Midpoint of the signal candle (high+low)/2
Close → Close price of the signal candle
Next Open → Open of the following bar (ideal for system testing)
📈 How to Interpret the Indicator
Market Condition WT Event Meaning
WT1 < −53 & CrossUp Long Signal Potential reversal / buy zone
WT1 > +53 & CrossDown Short Signal Potential exhaustion / sell zone
Price revisits LonLev Support Re-entry or bounce zone
Price revisits ShoLev Resistance Profit-taking or short setup zone
This makes the tool highly effective for:
Swing traders
Zone-based trading strategies
Systematic re-entries
Identifying structural turning points
🧠 Advantages
No repainting (signals confirmed only after bar close)
Works on all timeframes (from intraday to weekly)
Clean overview without clutter or excessive chart markers
Excellent as a filter to confirm market context
💬 Best Use Case
Use WTC_StepBuyStep_Edition as a contextual confirmation tool.
It does not replace a full trading system — but it gives you objective, repeatable, and statistically relevant zones where the market has reacted before.
Combine it with price action, volume analysis, or trend tools for even stronger setups.
