MA150 Respect Ratio (ATR-adjusted)This indicator measures how reliably price respects the 150-day moving average as support.
It computes an empirical probability (Respect Ratio) based on historical interactions with MA150:
– Dynamic touch tolerance based on ATR
– Optional shallow breaks allowed (user-defined)
– Trend filter (MA150 rising + price above)
– Minimum event count for statistical reliability
The output is a probability score (0–1) indicating how often MA150 held as support when tested.
This tool is intended for research and decision support, not as a standalone trading signal.
SpectreSPECTRE - Precision Reversal Detection System
OVERVIEW
Spectre is a channel breakout indicator designed to identify high-probability reversal points by combining Donchian channel breaches with momentum confirmation. It generates BUY signals at oversold extremes and SELL signals at overbought extremes, filtered by trend strength to avoid low-conviction setups.
This indicator replaces the Regime Engine, which will continue to evolve independently as an experimental platform for testing new strategies and enhancements. Spectre was selected as the production replacement based on extensive backtesting across multiple assets and timeframes, which demonstrated superior win rates compared to alternative sell logic approaches (RSI-based exits outperformed CMO-based exits in 13 of 18 test configurations).
SIGNAL LOGIC
BUY CONDITIONS (all must be true):
Price touches or breaks below Donchian lower band
RSI is at or below oversold threshold (default: 35)
ADX confirms sufficient trend strength (default: ≥22)
BBWP confirms adequate volatility (default: ≥20%)
Cooldown period has elapsed since last buy
Cascade limit not reached
SELL CONDITIONS (all must be true):
Price touches or breaks above Donchian upper band
RSI is at or above overbought threshold (default: 70)
ADX confirms sufficient trend strength (default: ≥22)
BBWP confirms adequate volatility (default: ≥20%)
Cooldown period has elapsed since last sell
Cascade limit not reached
Price is not underwater (if protection enabled)
KEY FEATURES
NON-REPAINTING DONCHIAN CHANNELS
Uses previous bar's high/low extremes to prevent signal repainting. What you see in history is what you would have seen in real-time.
MULTI-FACTOR CONFIRMATION
Signals require agreement between price action (Donchian), momentum (RSI), and trend strength (ADX) to filter out low-quality setups.
VOLATILITY FILTER (BBWP)
Bollinger Band Width Percentile measures current volatility relative to historical norms. Low BBWP indicates compressed ranges where breakouts are less reliable - signals are blocked until volatility returns.
CASCADE PROTECTION
Limits consecutive signals in the same direction to prevent overexposure during extended trends. Resets when a signal fires in the opposite direction.
UNDERWATER PROTECTION (Unique to Spectre)
Tracks average entry price of recent buys and blocks sell signals when price has fallen significantly below this level. This prevents locking in large losses during drawdowns and allows positions to recover before exiting.
REGIME DETECTION
Visual background shading indicates current market regime based on Directional Indicator spread and On-Balance Volume trend. Green indicates bullish regime (+DI > -DI, OBV rising). Red indicates bearish regime (-DI > +DI, OBV falling). White/Gray indicates neutral or ranging conditions.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS BY TIMEFRAME
For 5-minute charts, use RSI Buy 30-35, RSI Sell 70-75, ADX 20-24.
For 15-minute charts, use RSI Buy 30-35, RSI Sell 68-72, ADX 22-26.
For 30-minute charts (default), use RSI Buy 32-38, RSI Sell 68-72, ADX 22-26.
For 1-hour charts, use RSI Buy 35-40, RSI Sell 65-70, ADX 20-24.
For 4-hour charts, use RSI Buy 35-40, RSI Sell 65-70, ADX 18-22.
These are starting points - optimize for your specific assets.
INFO PANEL GUIDE
Regime shows current market bias (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral). RSI shows current value with buy/sell threshold status. ADX shows trend strength categorized as Weak (<15), Range (15-24), Trend (24-34), or Strong (>34). BBWP shows volatility percentile with a warning symbol when below minimum. Donchian shows price position relative to channel bands. Avg Buy shows average entry price and underwater status. Cascade shows current consecutive signal counts versus limits.
USAGE TIPS
Works best in ranging or mean-reverting markets
Reduce RSI thresholds in strong trends (tighter = fewer signals)
Increase ADX minimum in choppy markets to filter noise
Enable underwater protection for swing trading, disable for scalping
Use regime background to contextualize signals (buy in green, sell in red)
Combine with support/resistance levels for additional confirmation

Universal Moving Average🙏🏻 UMA (Universal Moving Average) represents the most natural and prolly ‘the’ final general universal entity for calculating rolling typical value for any type of time-series. Simply via different weighting schemes applied together, it encodes:
Location of each datapoint in corresponding fields (price, time, volume)
Informational relevance of each datapoint via using windowing functions that are fundamental in nature and go beyond DSP inventions & approximations
Innovation in state space (in our case = volatility)
The real beauty of this development: being simply a weighting scheme that can be applied to anything: be it weighted median , weighted quantile regression, or weighted KDE , or a simple weighted mean (like in this script). As long as a method accepts weights, you can harness the power of this entity. It means that final algorithmic complexity will match your initial tool.
As a moving ‘average’ it beats ALMA, KAMA, MAMA, VIDYA and all others because it is a simple and general entity, and all it does is encoding ‘all’ available information. I think that post might anger a lot of people, because lotta things will be realized as legacy and many paywalls gonna be ignored, specially for the followers of DSP cult, the ones who yet don’t understand that aggregated tick data is not a signal omg, it’s a completely different type of time series where your methods simply don’t fit even closely. I am also sorry to inform y’all, that spectral analysis is much closer to state-space methods in spirit than to DSP. But in fact DSP is cool and I love it, well for actual signals xD
...
Weights explained & how to use them: as I already said, the whole thing is based on combining different set of weights, and you can turn them on/off in script settings. Btw I've set em up defaults so you can use the thing on price data out of the box right away.
Price, Time, Volume weights: encode location of every datapoint in Price & TIme & Volume field
Howtouse: u have to disable one weight that corresponds to the field you apply UMA to. E.g if you apply UMA to prices, you turn off price weighting And turn on time and volume weighting. Or if you apply UMA to volume delta, you turn off volume weighting And turn on price and time weighting.
Higher prices are more important, this asymmetry is confirmed and even proved by the fact that prices can’t be negative (don’t even mention that incorrect rollover on CL contract in 2k20...).
Signal weights: encode actuality/importance/relevance of datapoints.
Howtouse: in DSP terms, it provides smoothing, but also compensates for the lag it introduces. This smoothness is useful if you use slope reversals for signal generation aka watching peaks and valleys in a moving average shape. It's also better to perturb smoothed outputs with this , this way you inject high freq content back, But in controlled way!
Signal = information.
The fundamental universal entity behind so-called “smoothing” in DSP has nothing to do with signals and goes eons beyond DSP. This is simply about measuring the relevance of data in time.
First, new datapoints need some time to be “embedded” into the timeline, you can think of it as time proof, kinda stuff needs time to be proved, accepted; while earliest datapoints lose relevance in time.
Second, along with the first notion, at the same time there’s the counter notion that simply weights new data more, acting as a counterweight from the down-weighting of the latest datapoints introduced by the first notion.
The first part can be represented as PDF of beta(2, 2) window (a set of weights in our case). It’s actually well known as the Welch window, that lives in between so called statistical and DSP worlds, emerges in multiple contexts. Mainstream DSP users tho mostly don’t use this one, they use primitive legacy windowing function, you can find all kinds on this wiki page.
Now the second part, where DSP adepts usually stop, is to introduce the second compensating windowing function. Instead they try to reduce window size, or introduce other kinds of volatility weights, do some tricks, but it ain’t provides obviously. The natural step here is to simply use the integral of the initial window; if the initial window is beta(2, 2) then what we simply need is CDF of beta(2, 2), in fact the vertically inverted shape of it aka survival function . That’s it bros. Simply as that.
When both of these are applied you have smth magical, your output becomes smooth and yet not lagging. No arbitrary windowing functions, tricks with data modification etc
Why beta(2, 2)? It naturally arises in many contexts, it’s based on one of the most fundamental functions in the universe: x^2. It has finite support. I can talk more bout it on request, but I am absolutely sure this is it.
^^ impulse response of the resulting weighs together (green) compared with uniform weights aka boxcar (red). Made with this script .
Weighing by state: encodes state-space innovation of each datapoint, basically magnitude of changes, strength of these changes, aka volatility.
Howtouse: this makes your moving average volatility aware in proper math ways. The influence of datapoints will be stronger when changes are stronger. This is weighting by innovations, or weighting by volatility by using squared returns.
Why squared returns? They encode state‑space innovations properly because the innovation of any continuous‑time semimartingale is about its quadratic variation, and quadratic variation is built from squared increments, not absolute increments.
Adaptive length is not the right way to introduce adaptivity by volatility xD. When you weight datapoints by squared returns you’re already dynamically varying ‘effective’ data size, you don’t need anything else.
...
It’s all good, progress happens, that’s how the Universe works, that's how Universal Moving Average works. Time to evolve. I might update other scripts with this complete weighting scheme, either by my own desire or your request.

Order Blocks & ImbalanceThis indicator automatically identifies and plots Order Blocks (also known as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances) based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology. It detects significant price inefficiencies (gaps between candles) that often act as institutional supply or demand zones.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
The indicator identifies classic 3-candle imbalances:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand): When the low of the current candle is significantly below the high of the candle two bars ago (low - high ).
- Bearish Order Block (Supply): When the high of the current candle is significantly above the low of the candle two bars ago (low - high ).
A minimum size threshold is enforced using ATR(14) × user-defined multiplier (default 0.5) to filter out minor gaps and focus on meaningful inefficiencies.
2. Zone Creation
- Bullish zones are created at the candle two bars ago (the "origin" candle where inefficiency occurred).
- Bearish zones use the same origin candle.
- Zone boundaries:
Top = high of origin candle
Bottom = low of origin candle
This captures the full range where price moved aggressively, leaving an imbalance that institutions may later revisit.
3. Mitigation Detection
Zones can be mitigated in two ways (user-selectable):
- "Close": Zone is considered touched only if the close price enters the zone.
- "Wick": Zone is touched if any wick (high/low) enters the zone (more sensitive).
When mitigated:
- Background becomes more transparent
- Border turns dotted
- Label changes to "Mitigated"
Broken zones (price fully closes beyond the opposite side) are automatically deleted.
4. Zone Lifecycle Management
- Active Zone: Strong color fill (green for demand, red for supply) with solid border.
- Mitigated Zone: Faded color, dotted border – indicates partial fill or reduced strength.
- Broken Zone: Automatically removed from chart to reduce clutter.
Old zones are also pruned when exceeding 450 total to maintain performance.
5. Smart Visibility Engine (Optional)
When enabled:
- All zones are initially hidden.
- Only the closest relevant zones are shown:
- Up to user-defined limit (default 10) highest bullish zones (closest below price)
- Up to user-defined limit (default 10) lowest bearish zones (closest above price)
- Visible zones are automatically extended to the right and styled appropriately.
This keeps the chart clean while highlighting the most actionable zones near current price.
6. Visual Elements
- Demand Zones: Green fill, labeled "OB Demand"
- Supply Zones: Red fill, labeled "OB Supply"
- Tiny text size to minimize chart clutter
- Zones drawn as boxes using bar_index positioning
How to Use
Order Blocks represent areas of price inefficiency where smart money likely entered/exited positions aggressively.
- Demand Zones (Green): Potential long entry areas when price returns. Expect buying pressure to defend these levels. Best setups when price retests an active (non-mitigated) zone.
- Supply Zones (Red): Potential short entry areas when price returns. Expect selling pressure to emerge.
- Mitigated Zones: Lower probability – may act as weaker support/resistance.
- Smart Visibility: Highly recommended for cleaner charts. Focuses attention on zones most likely to be tested soon.
- Combine with:
- Break of Structure (BOS)/Change of Character (CHOCH)
- Liquidity grabs
- Higher timeframe confluence
- Volume or momentum confirmation
Use higher FVG threshold (e.g., 0.8–1.0) for fewer, higher-quality zones. Lower threshold for more aggressive detection.

Quant VWAP System 3.8 This is the lower-indicator companion to the "Quant VWAP System." While the main chart tells you where the price is, this oscillator tells you how statistically significant the move is.
It uses a Z-Score algorithm to normalize price action. This means it ignores dollar amounts and instead measures how many Standard Deviations (SD) the price is away from its mean (VWAP). This allows you to instantly spot "Overbought" or "Oversold" conditions on any asset (Bitcoin, Forex, or Stocks) without needing to guess.
Key Features:
1. Normalized Extremes (The "Kill Zones")
±2.0 SD: These dotted lines represent statistical extremes. When the signal line crosses above +2.0, the asset is mathematically expensive (Overbought). When it crosses below -2.0, it is mathematically cheap (Oversold).
The Logic: Price rarely sustains movement beyond 2 Standard Deviations without a reversion or a pause.
2. The Squeeze Radar (Yellow Dots)
Volatility Detection: A row of Yellow Dots appearing on the center line indicates a "Squeeze."
What it means: The Standard Deviation bands are compressing. Energy is building.
Warning: DO NOT trade Mean Reversion when you see Yellow Dots. A squeeze often leads to a violent breakout. Wait for the dots to disappear to confirm the direction of the explosion.
3. Momentum Coloring
Green Line: Z-Score is rising (Bullish Momentum).
Red Line: Z-Score is falling (Bearish Momentum).
This helps you spot divergences (e.g., Price makes a Higher High, but the Oscillator makes a Lower High = Exhaustion).
How to Trade with It
Strategy A: The "Zero Bounce" (Trend Continuation)
Scenario: You are in a Bull Trend.
Signal: The Oscillator line pulls back to the Zero Line (White), turns Green, and curls upward.
Meaning: Price has tested the average (VWAP) and buyers have stepped in. This is a high-probability entry for trend continuation.
Strategy B: The "Extreme Fade" (Reversion)
Scenario: The Oscillator pushes deep into the Red Zone (+2.0 SD).
Signal: The line turns Red and crosses back down below the +2.0 dotted line. A small Red Triangle will appear.
Meaning: The statistical extension has failed, and price is likely snapping back to the mean.
Strategy C: Squeeze Breakout
Scenario: Yellow Dots appear on the center line.
Action: Stop trading. Wait.
Signal: The dots disappear, and the line shoots aggressively through +1.0 SD (Long) or -1.0 SD (Short). Ride the momentum.
Linear Regression ChannelsThis indicator dynamically identifies and plots the best-fit linear regression channels based on recent pivot points, optimizing for statistical strength across user-defined depths.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
1. Pivot Point Detection
The indicator uses Pine Script's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions with a configurable sensitivity length to detect swing highs and lows. All recent pivot indices are stored in an array (limited to avoid performance issues), providing potential starting points for regression calculations.
2. Multi-Depth Evaluation
Users input comma-separated "Pivot History Depths" (e.g., "5,20,50"). For each depth:
- The script evaluates regression fits starting from the most recent pivots, up to the specified depth count.
- It calculates linear regression statistics for each possible channel originating from those pivot bars backward to the current bar.
3. Linear Regression Calculation
For each candidate channel:
- Slope (m) and intercept (b) are computed using least-squares method.
- R-squared (R²) measures goodness of fit (how well price follows the trend line).
- Standard error of the estimate is calculated to quantify volatility around the regression line.
- A composite score = R² × log(length) prioritizes stronger fits on longer periods.
4. Best-Fit Selection and Validation
- Only channels with R² ≥ user-defined minimum (default 0.5) are considered valid.
- The channel with the highest score for each depth is selected and drawn.
- This ensures the most statistically significant and relevant channels are displayed, avoiding weak or short-term noise.
5. Channel Construction
- Mean Line: The regression trend line extended slightly into the future.
- Inner Channels: ± user-configurable standard deviation multiplier (default 2.0σ) around the mean.
- Outer Bands: ±1.5× the inner deviation for additional visual context.
- Filled areas between mean and inner channels for better visibility.
- Color: Green shades for upward slopes (bullish trend), red shades for downward slopes (bearish trend).
6. Dashboard and Statistics
- Optional table in the top-right corner displays for each depth:
- Depth value
- R² (colored green if >0.7, orange otherwise)
- Slope (Beta) – positive blue for uptrend, red for downtrend
- Current Z-Score: How many standard deviations the latest close is from the expected regression value (yellow if |Z| > 2)
How to Use
Regression channels help identify trending markets, potential mean reversion, and overextension.
- Upward Channels (Green): Price above the mean may indicate strength; pullbacks to the mean or lower band offer long opportunities. Overextension above upper band could signal exhaustion.
- Downward Channels (Red): Price below the mean may indicate weakness; rallies to the mean or upper band offer short opportunities. Overextension below lower band could signal capitulation.
- High R² (>0.7): Strong trending channel – trade in direction of slope.
- Low R²: Choppy/range-bound market – avoid trend-following trades.
- Z-Score: |Z| > 2 suggests price is statistically overextended from the trend (potential reversion setup).
- Multi-Depth: Smaller depths catch short-term trends; larger depths capture major trends. Use multiple for confluence across timeframes.
Combine with volume, support/resistance, or other indicators for confirmation.

cd_VW_Cx IMPROVED - Quant VWAP System: Regime, Magnets & Z-ScoQuant VWAP System: Regime, Magnets & Z-Score Matrix
This indicator is a comprehensive Quantitative Trading System designed to move beyond simple support and resistance. Instead of static lines, it uses Statistical Probability (Z-Score) and Standard Deviation to define the current market regime, identify institutional value zones, and project high-probability liquidity targets.
It is engineered for Day Traders and Scalpers (Crypto & Futures) who need to know if the market is Trending, Ranging, or preparing for a Breakout.
1. The "Regime" System (Standard Deviation Bands)
The core engine anchors a VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) to your chosen timeframe (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly) and projects volatility bands based on market variance.
The Trend Zone (Inner Band / 1.0 SD): This is the "Fair Value" zone. In a healthy trend, price will pull back into this zone and hold. A hold here signals a high-probability continuation (Trend Following).
The Reversion Zone (Outer Band / 2.0 SD): This represents a statistical extreme. Price rarely sustains movement beyond 2 Standard Deviations without a reversion. A touch of this band signals "Overbought" or "Oversold" conditions.
2. Liquidity Magnets (Virgin VWAPs)
The script automatically tracks "Unvisited VWAPs" from previous sessions. These are price levels where significant volume occurred but have not yet been re-tested.
The Logic: Algorithms often target these "open loops." The script visualizes them as Blue Dashed Lines with price tags.
Smart Scaling (Anti-Scrunch): Includes a custom "Ghost Engine" that automatically hides or "ghosts" magnets that are too far away. This prevents your chart from being squashed (scrunched) on lower timeframes, keeping your candles perfectly readable while still tracking targets in the background.
3. The Quant Matrix (Dashboard)
A real-time Heads-Up Display (HUD) that interprets the data for you:
Regime: Detects Volatility Squeezes. If the bands compress, it signals "⚠ SQUEEZE", warning you to stop mean-reversion trading and prepare for an explosive breakout.
Bias: Color-coded Trend Direction (Bullish/Bearish) based on VWAP slope.
Signal: actionable text prompts such as "BUY DIP" (Trend Following), "FADE EXT" (Mean Reversion), or "PREP BREAK" (Squeeze).
4. Visual Intelligence
Bold Day Separators: Clear, vertical dotted dividers with Date Stamps to instantly separate trading sessions.
Dynamic Labels: Floating labels on the right axis identify exactly which deviation level is which, preventing chart confusion.
How to Use
Strategy A: The Trend Pullback (continuation)
Check Matrix: Ensure Bias is BULLISH (Green).
Wait: Allow price to pull back into the Inner Band (Dark Green Zone).
Trigger: If price holds the Center VWAP or the -1.0 SD line, enter Long.
Target: The next Liquidity Magnet above or the +2.0 SD band.
Strategy B: The Reversion Fade (Counter-Trend)
Check Matrix: Ensure price is labeled "EXTREME" or Signal says "FADE EXT".
Trigger: Price touches or pierces the Outer Band (2.0 SD).
Action: Enter counter-trend (Short) with a target back to the Center VWAP (Mean Reversion).
Strategy C: The Magnet Target
Identify a "MAGNET" line (Blue Dashed) near current price.
These act as high-probability Take Profit levels. Price will often rush to these levels to "close the loop" before reversing.
Settings
Anchor: Daily (default), Weekly, or Monthly.
Magnet Focus Range: Adjusts how aggressively the script hides distant magnets to fix chart scaling (Default: 2%).
Visuals: Fully customizable colors, label sizes, and dashboard position.
Witch-Fire ALMA signals: Dynamic Liquidity & Trend GlowThe Witch-Fire ALMA is a high-precision trend bias and liquidity mapping tool designed for price action traders and Smart Money practitioners. Unlike traditional indicators that clutter your chart with lagging signals, this script provides a "clean-yet-powerful" visual anchor to help you stay on the right side of the market while identifying key Points of Interest (POIs).
At its core, the script utilizes an optimized Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA). Known for its superior ability to balance smoothness and responsiveness, the ALMA effectively filters out market noise and "whipsaws" that often plague standard EMAs.
Key Features:
The Witch-Fire Glow: A neon-styled ALMA line that shifts between Bullish Green and Bearish Red. The white core provides surgical precision for price intersection, while the outer glow visualizes the strength and dominance of the current trend.
Scaled Liquidity Levels: Automatically maps Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL). These levels are dynamic—they scale proportionally with your ALMA settings. This ensures that the liquidity zones you see are always relevant to the trend cycle you are analyzing.
Strategic Bias Background: A subtle background tint provides an instant psychological filter. Only look for Longs in the green zone and Shorts in the red zone to maintain a high-probability strike rate.
How to Trade with Witch-Fire:
Identify the Bias: Look at the Fire ALMA. If the "fire" is red and the price is below the line, your bias is strictly bearish.
Watch the Sweeps: Wait for the price to "sweep" (pierce with a wick) the horizontal SSL (Green) or BSL (Red) lines.
Execution: Look for a strong rejection candle (long wick, small body) at these levels that closes back towards the ALMA line.
Best Used On: 15m, 1H, and 4H timeframes. Works exceptionally well for Crypto, Forex, and Indices.
EMA 1 & SALMA Intersection StrategyTrading Strategy: EMA 1 & SALMA Crossover System
This strategy is a Trend-Following system that focuses on the direct interaction between the price (represented by EMA 1) and a smoothed trendline (SALMA). Instead of relying on the color changes of the indicator, it uses mechanical crossover signals to enter and exit trades.
1. Indicators Used
EMA 1 (Exponential Moving Average): Since the period is 1, it effectively represents the Current Price. It reacts instantly to every market move.
SALMA v3.0 (Smoothed Adaptive Lattice Moving Average): A double-smoothed moving average that acts as the "Base Line" or "Trend Support/Resistance."
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Used as a Momentum Filter to ensure we don't trade against the market's strength.
2. Buy (Long) Entry Rules
You enter a Long position when the following conditions are met:
The Crossover: The EMA 1 (Price) crosses ABOVE the SALMA line. This indicates that the short-term momentum is shifting higher than the average trend.
The Filter (RSI): The RSI must be above 50. This confirms that the buyers are in control and the upward move has enough strength.
3. Sell (Short) Entry Rules
You enter a Short position when the following conditions are met:
The Crossunder: The EMA 1 (Price) crosses BELOW the SALMA line. This indicates a breakdown in price action.
The Filter (RSI): The RSI must be below 50. This confirms that the sellers are dominating and the downward momentum is real.
4. Key Advantages of This System
Objectivity: You don't guess based on the color of the line; you wait for a clear physical break (cross) of the line.
Precision: By using EMA 1, you get the earliest possible entry signal compared to slower moving averages.
False Signal Protection: The RSI 50 filter prevents you from entering "weak" trades where the price crosses the line but lacks the volume or momentum to continue.
Price Action High 2 + Risk/Reward VisualizerIntroduction: Price Action High 2 (Bull Flag) Setup
This script identifies the High 2 (H2) setup, a staple price action pattern popularized by Al Brooks. The High 2 is a high-probability continuation pattern designed to catch the resumption of a bull trend after a two-legged pullback (a "complex" bull flag).
In a strong uptrend, the first attempt to end a pullback often fails (High 1). The High 2 represents the second, and usually more reliable, attempt by bulls to take control, often forming a "double bottom" structure within the flag.
How the Logic Works
The indicator follows a strict state-machine logic to ensure the pattern is valid:
Trend Confirmation: The script filters for an established uptrend where price is above a rising EMA (adjustable in settings).
Pullback Identification: It looks for a sequence of bars making lower highs.
High 1 (H1): The first bar in the correction that breaks above the high of the prior bar.
The Second Leg: The script then waits for the price to again fail to break a high, confirming a second leg of the pullback.
High 2 (H2): The signal is triggered when a bar breaks the high of the previous bar for the second time.
Key Features
Signal Bar Quality Filter: Not all High 2s are equal. This script includes a filter ensuring the signal bar closes in the upper portion of its range (bullish conviction) to avoid "weak" breakouts.
Automated Risk/Reward Visualizer: Upon a signal, the script automatically projects a Stop Loss (at the signal bar low) and a Take Profit level based on a customizable R:R ratio.
Clean Visuals: Labeled "H2" markers and dashed trend lines keep the chart uncluttered.
How to Trade It
Entry: Place a buy-stop order 1 tick above the High 2 signal bar.
Stop Loss: Traditionally placed below the low of the signal bar or the most recent swing low.
Target: Common targets include a 1:2 Risk/Reward ratio or the previous major swing high.
Settings Guide
EMA Length: Adjust this to match your timeframe (e.g., 20 for intraday, 50 for daily).
Min Close %: Set this to 50% or higher to ensure you only take trades where the bulls finished the bar strong.
Risk:Reward Ratio: Customize your profit targets to align with your personal trading plan.

[ASFX] Free Automatic VWAPsAutomatic VWAP & Key Levels
Overview
This indicator is designed to help traders evaluate VWAP interactions in context, rather than treating every VWAP touch as a trade opportunity. It combines VWAP with a momentum-based directional filter to highlight situations where price interaction with VWAP is supported by broader intraday momentum. This indicator also shows you the initial balance and opening range each day.
Concept and Originality
VWAP is commonly used as an institutional reference level, but VWAP alone does not distinguish between meaningful acceptance/rejection and random intraday chop. This script addresses that limitation by conditioning VWAP interactions with a momentum filter. Signals are only displayed when price location and momentum alignment occur together, allowing traders to focus on higher-quality VWAP reactions instead of monitoring multiple indicators separately.
How It Works
• VWAP is used as the primary price reference level.
• A momentum filter evaluates directional bias and participation.
• Visual signals appear only when price is interacting with VWAP and momentum confirms acceptance or rejection in the same direction.
• No signals are shown during low-momentum or sideways conditions around VWAP.
How to Use

Limitations
• Not predictive

## 📚 ICT Concepts Explained
### **Liquidity Sweep:**
Smart money intentionally pushes price beyond key levels to trigger retail stop losses, then reverses to their intended direction. The X marker identifies these moments.
### **Swing Failure Pattern (SFP):**
Price attempts to make a new high/low but lacks follow-through, indicating weak momentum and likely reversal. Similar to a "false breakout" but more specific to swing structures.
### **Supply & Demand Zones:**
- **Red zones** = Areas where selling pressure overwhelmed buyers
- **Green zones** = Areas where buying pressure overwhelmed sellers
- These zones act as magnets for price to return and react

## 🎓 Best Practices

- Avoid low liquidity periods
3. **Risk Management:**
- Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
- Use proper lot sizing
- Take partial profits at key levels
4. **Timeframe Correlation:**
