Ichimoku Trading Checklist - 5 Rules🧠 Description This indicator implements a rule-based checklist built on Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, complemented with RSI and price structure, designed to help traders objectively evaluate whether a bullish setup is valid or not. ⚠️ This indicator does NOT generate buy or sell signals. ⚠️ It is NOT a trading system or financial advice. The core philosophy is discipline and consistency: If there is no setup, there is no trade. ________________________________________ ✅ The 5 Rules Evaluated 1. Chikou Span above price (26 bars back) Confirms that current price is above historical price, validating a bullish context. 2. Bullish TK Cross (Tenkan-sen > Kijun-sen) Measures bullish momentum within the Ichimoku framework. 3. Bullish divergence or convergence between RSI and price Evaluates relative strength using recent RSI pivots and price structure. 4. Kumo breakout followed by a valid pullback Requires a bullish cloud breakout and a pullback that respects the structure. 5. Bullish Kumo (green cloud / twist) Confirms that the Ichimoku cloud supports a bullish bias. ________________________________________ 🚦 Decision Traffic Light (Final Row) The last row of the table provides a traffic-light style summary: • 🟢 5/5 rules met → Valid setup • 🟡 1–4 rules met → Incomplete setup • 🔴 0 rules met → No trade Core message displayed: “No setup, No trade!” 🚫 ________________________________________ 🎨 Customization Through the Inputs panel, users can customize: • Header, body, and footer background colors • Traffic-light colors and icons (🟢 🟡 🔴) • Text alignment (left / center / right) • Optional rule counter (x/5) ⚠️ Tables do not use TradingView’s Style tab; all customization is handled via Inputs. ________________________________________ ⏱️ Timeframe The indicator is timeframe-agnostic, but it was designed and tested primarily on the 1H timeframe, where Ichimoku and RSI structure tend to be more consistent. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Disclaimer This script is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Trading involves risk, and all decisions remain the sole responsibility of the user. Remember that every strategy is based on probabilities and scenarios that you have already tested in hundreds of trades. ________________________________________ 👤 Author © Yesid Correa Cano Pine Script v6 License: Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0)

NQ Key Levels [EOY 2025]Key Price Levels to Watch | Level | Type | Significance | |---|---|---| | 26,000 | Psychological Target | The "round number" magnet for the End of Year (EOY) close. | | 25,835 | Major Resistance | The recent high from Dec 10. A break above this signals the Santa Rally is live. | | 25,196 | Current Price | Friday's close. We are in "no man's land" here. | | 25,000 | Critical Support | A psychological floor. If NQ breaks below this next week, the bullish thesis weakens. | | 24,800 | Trend Defense | The "line in the sand." Bulls must defend this level to keep the uptrend intact. | Projected Path for NQ (Dec 15 – Dec 31, 2025) Dec 15–17 (Mon-Wed): Market tests support at 25,000. If it holds, buyers will step in. Dec 18–19 (Thu-Fri): Erratic price action due to Triple Witching expiry. Avoid heavy leverage here. Dec 22–31: Volume drops, but directional bias turns UP. The path of least resistance will be higher as sellers leave for the holidays.

(#installation) 3. (#theory) 4. (#components) 5. (#signals) 6. (#strategies) 7. (#settings) 8. (#alerts) 9. (#patterns) 10. (#troubleshooting) --- ## OVERVIEW This indicator implements Richard Wyckoff's complete trading methodology, including: - **All 5 Phases** of Accumulation and Distribution - **18+ Wyckoff Events** (PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, SOS, LPS, BC, UTAD, SOW, etc.) - **Volume Spread Analysis (VSA)** principles - **Supply & Demand Zone** detection - **Composite Operator** logic (Smart Money tracking) - **Effort vs Result** analysis - **Three Wyckoff Laws**: Supply/Demand, Cause/Effect, Effort/Result --- ## INSTALLATION ### Step 1: Copy the Code 1. Open the `wyckoff_comprehensive.pine` file 2. Select all code (Ctrl+A / Cmd+A) 3. Copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C) ### Step 2: Add to TradingView 1. Go to TradingView.com 2. Open any chart 3. Click "Pine Editor" at the bottom of the screen 4. Click "New" or "Open" 5. Paste the entire code 6. Click "Save" and give it a name 7. Click "Add to Chart" ### Step 3: Verify Installation You should see: - Labels on the chart (PS, SC, Spring, SOS, etc.) - Background colors indicating phases - Volume analysis in the lower pane - A table in the top-right corner showing current phase --- ## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY ### The Three Fundamental Laws #### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand** - Price rises when demand exceeds supply - Price falls when supply exceeds demand - The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances #### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect** - A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect) - A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect) - Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement #### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result** - **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market) - **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar) - High effort with low result = potential reversal - Low effort with high result = trend weakness ### The Five Phases #### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE** **Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend** - Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying - Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion - Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC - Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume **Phase B: Building the Cause** - Trading range develops - Supply being absorbed by composite operator - Multiple tests of support and resistance - Volume generally decreases **Phase C: The Test (Spring)** - False breakdown below support - Traps late sellers - Quick reversal on low volume - Last chance to accumulate before markup **Phase D: Dominance Emerges** - Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance - Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity - Backup (BU): Final consolidation - Demand clearly exceeds supply **Phase E: Markup** - New uptrend established - Price moves rapidly higher - Phase E can last months/years - Original trading range becomes support #### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE** **Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend** - Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling - Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion - Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC - Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume **Phase B: Building the Cause** - Trading range at top - Demand being absorbed by composite operator - Multiple tests of support and resistance **Phase C: The Test (UTAD)** - Upthrust After Distribution - False breakout above resistance - Traps late buyers - Quick reversal **Phase D: Dominance Emerges** - Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support - Last Point of Supply (LPSY): Rally opportunity to exit - Supply clearly exceeds demand **Phase E: Markdown** - New downtrend established - Price moves rapidly lower - Original trading range becomes resistance --- ## INDICATOR COMPONENTS ### 1. EVENT LABELS #### Accumulation Events (Green labels) - **PS** = Preliminary Support - **SC** = Selling Climax (largest label, most important) - **AR** = Automatic Rally - **ST** = Secondary Test - **SPRING** = Spring (critical buy signal) - **TEST** = Test of support - **SOS** = Sign of Strength (breakout) - **LPS** = Last Point of Support - **BU** = Backup #### Distribution Events (Red labels) - **PSY** = Preliminary Supply - **BC** = Buying Climax (largest label, most important) - **AR** = Automatic Reaction - **ST** = Secondary Test - **UTAD** = Upthrust After Distribution (critical sell signal) - **SOW** = Sign of Weakness - **LPSY** = Last Point of Supply #### VSA Events (Small colored labels) - **ND** (Orange) = No Demand - weakness - **NS** (Blue) = No Supply - strength - **SV** (Purple) = Stopping Volume - **UT** (Red) = Upthrust - weakness - **SO** (Green) = Shakeout - strength #### Composite Operator (💰 symbols) - Green 💰 at bottom = Smart Money Accumulation - Red 💰 at top = Smart Money Distribution ### 2. BACKGROUND COLORS - **Light Blue** = Phase A (Accumulation) - **Light Orange** = Phase A (Distribution) - **Very Light Green** = Phase C (Accumulation Testing) - **Very Light Red** = Phase C (Distribution Testing) - **Light Green** = Phase D (Accumulation Strength) - **Light Red** = Phase D (Distribution Weakness) - **Green** = Phase E (Markup - Bull trend) - **Red** = Phase E (Markdown - Bear trend) ### 3. SUPPLY & DEMAND ZONES - **Green boxes** = Demand zones (where smart money accumulated) - **Red boxes** = Supply zones (where smart money distributed) - Zones extend 20 bars into the future - Price reactions at these zones are significant ### 4. VOLUME PANEL - **Dark Green/Red bars** = Very High Volume (climax) - **Light Green/Red bars** = High Volume - **Gray bars** = Normal Volume - **Faint Gray bars** = Low Volume - **Blue line** = Volume Moving Average ### 5. INFORMATION TABLE (Top Right) Displays real-time analysis: - **Current Phase** (A, B, C, D, or E) - **Status** (description of what's happening) - **Volume** (Very High, High, Normal, Low) - **Spread** (Wide, Normal, Narrow) - **Effort/Result** (Poor, Normal, Good) - **Range** (YES if in trading range) - **Bias** (BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL) --- ## HOW TO READ THE SIGNALS ### STRONG BUY SIGNALS (in order of strength) 1. **SPRING** (strongest) - False breakdown below support - Look for: Low volume, quick reversal, close above support - Entry: When price closes back above support level - Stop: Below the spring low 2. **SOS (Sign of Strength)** - Break above trading range resistance - Look for: High volume, wide spread up bar - Entry: On breakout or pullback to LPS - Stop: Below trading range 3. **Shakeout (SO)** - Similar to spring but more violent - Look for: High volume, penetration of support, strong close - Entry: When price reclaims support - Stop: Below shakeout low 4. **LPS (Last Point of Support)** - Pullback after SOS - Look for: Low volume, shallow pullback - Entry: When support holds - Stop: Below LPS 5. **No Supply (NS)** - Down bar on very low volume - Indicates lack of selling pressure - Confirms accumulation phase ### STRONG SELL SIGNALS (in order of strength) 1. **UTAD (Upthrust After Distribution)** (strongest) - False breakout above resistance - Look for: High volume spike, rejection, close below resistance - Entry: When price closes back below resistance - Stop: Above UTAD high 2. **SOW (Sign of Weakness)** - Break below trading range support - Look for: High volume, wide spread down bar - Entry: On breakdown or rally to LPSY - Stop: Above trading range 3. **Upthrust (UT)** - Move above resistance on low volume, weak close - Look for: Low volume, close in lower half of bar - Entry: When resistance becomes resistance again - Stop: Above upthrust high 4. **LPSY (Last Point of Supply)** - Rally after SOW - Look for: Low volume, weak rally - Entry: When rally fails - Stop: Above LPSY 5. **No Demand (ND)** - Up bar on very low volume - Indicates lack of buying pressure - Confirms distribution phase ### NEUTRAL/WARNING SIGNALS - **High Effort, Low Result** = Potential reversal coming - **Stopping Volume** = Trend may be ending - **Absorption** = Large volume with small movement (accumulation/distribution) --- ## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES ### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout **Setup:** 1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B) 2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C) 3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D) **Entry:** - Option A: Buy on SOS breakout - Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward) **Stop Loss:** - Below the spring low or trading range bottom **Target:** - Measure height of trading range (cause) - Project upward from breakout point (effect) - Minimum target = range height **Example:** ``` Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range) SOS Breakout at: 120 Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum ``` ### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown **Setup:** 1. Identify trading range after uptrend 2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C) 3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D) **Entry:** - Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown - Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward) **Stop Loss:** - Above the UTAD high or trading range top **Target:** - Measure height of trading range - Project downward from breakdown point - Minimum target = range height ### Strategy 3: Spring Trading **Setup:** 1. Strong downtrend followed by range 2. Price breaks below range bottom 3. Volume is LOW on breakdown 4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support **Entry:** - When candle closes above support level - Or on retest of support **Stop Loss:** - Below spring low (usually tight) **Target:** - Top of trading range - Previous swing high **Risk/Reward:** - Typically 1:3 or better ### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking **Setup:** 1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones 2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test) 3. Volume decreasing during range **Entry:** - At next demand zone test - On SOS breakout **Confirmation:** - Background turning green (Phase D/E) - Table shows "BULLISH" bias ### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal **Setup:** 1. Strong trend in place 2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme 3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS) **Entry:** - When trend breaks down/up - On retest of extreme **Example (Bullish):** ``` Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar ``` --- ## SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION ### Volume Analysis Settings **Volume MA Length** (default: 20) - Shorter = More sensitive to volume changes - Longer = Smoother, less noise - Recommended: 15-25 for most timeframes **High Volume Multiplier** (default: 1.5) - Threshold for "high volume" - Lower = More signals - Higher = Only extreme volume - Recommended: 1.3-2.0 **Climax Volume Multiplier** (default: 2.0) - Threshold for climax events (SC, BC) - Should be significantly higher than normal - Recommended: 2.0-3.0 ### Phase Detection Settings **Swing Detection Length** (default: 5) - How many bars to look left/right for swing points - Shorter = More swings detected (more noise) - Longer = Fewer swings (cleaner, might miss some) - Recommended: 3-7 **Range Expansion Threshold** (default: 1.5) - Multiplier for "wide spread" bars - Higher = Only very wide bars qualify - Recommended: 1.3-2.0 **Volume Confirmation** (default: ON) - Requires volume confirmation for events - Turn OFF for very low volume instruments - Keep ON for stocks, forex, crypto ### Display Options Toggle on/off: - ✅ **Show Accumulation/Distribution Phases** - Background colors - ✅ **Show Wyckoff Events** - All labeled events - ✅ **Show Volume Spread Analysis** - VSA labels - ✅ **Show Supply/Demand Zones** - Boxes on chart - ✅ **Show Composite Operator Signals** - 💰 symbols ### Color Customization - **Bullish Color** - All accumulation events - **Bearish Color** - All distribution events - **Neutral Color** - Range/neutral signals --- ## ALERT SETUP ### Available Alerts 1. **Selling Climax (SC)** - Potential bottom forming 2. **Spring** - Strong buy signal 3. **Sign of Strength (SOS)** - Bullish breakout 4. **Buying Climax (BC)** - Potential top forming 5. **UTAD** - Strong sell signal 6. **Sign of Weakness (SOW)** - Bearish breakdown 7. **Phase E Markup** - Uptrend confirmed 8. **Phase E Markdown** - Downtrend confirmed 9. **Smart Money Accumulation** - Institutions buying 10. **Smart Money Distribution** - Institutions selling ### How to Set Up Alerts 1.

Count Point & Figure Charts - Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause" - Width of range × height = minimum move target - Longer accumulation = larger markup ### 2. Watch for Absorption - High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing - In downtrend = accumulation - In uptrend = distribution ### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs - Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong - Increases probability significantly ### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too - Failed spring = weakness, expect lower - Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher ### 5. Context is King - Don't buy during Phase E Markdown - Don't sell during Phase E Markup - Respect the major trend ### 6. Volume Precedes Price - Study volume changes first - Price follows volume - Decreasing volume in range = building energy ### 7. Composite Operator Mindset - Think like institutions - Where would smart money buy/sell? - They need liquidity (retail traders) --- ## RISK MANAGEMENT ### Position Sizing **Conservative:** - Risk 1% per trade - Wider stops at range boundaries **Moderate:** - Risk 1-2% per trade - Stops below spring/above UTAD **Aggressive:** - Risk 2-3% per trade - Tight stops - Higher win rate needed ### Stop Loss Placement **Accumulation:** - Below spring low - Below trading range bottom - Below demand zone **Distribution:** - Above UTAD high - Above trading range top - Above supply zone ### Take Profit Strategy **Method 1: Measured Move** - Range height = minimum target - 2x range height = extended target **Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions** - 1.0 = range height - 1.618 = extended target - 2.618 = maximum target **Method 3: Trail the Stop** - Move stop to breakeven at 1R - Trail under swing lows in markup - Lock in profits progressively --- ## BACKTESTING CHECKLIST Before trading with real money: - Backtest on 50+ historical examples - Record all signals in trading journal - Calculate win rate (aim for >50%) - Calculate average R:R (aim for >1:2) - Test on multiple instruments - Test on multiple timeframes - Test in different market conditions - Verify signal consistency - Practice on demo account - Start small with real money --- ## RECOMMENDED READING ### Books 1. **"Studies in Tape Reading"** - Richard D.

Dynamic Pivot Point [MarkitTick]Title: Dynamic Pivot Point MarkitTick Concept Unlike traditional Pivot Points, which plot static horizontal levels based on the previous period's High, Low, and Close, this script introduces a dynamic element by applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the calculated pivot levels. This approach allows the Support and Resistance zones to adapt more fluidly to recent price action, reducing the jagged steps often seen in standard multi-timeframe pivot indicators. How It Works The script operates in two distinct phases of calculation: 1. Data Extraction and Core Math: The indicator first requests the High, Low, and Close data from a user-defined timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly). Using this data, it calculates the standard Pivot Point (P) alongside three levels of Support (S1, S2, S3) and three levels of Resistance (R1, R2, R3) using standard geometric formulas: Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3 R1 = 2 * Pivot - Low S1 = 2 * Pivot - High (Subsequent levels follow standard Floor Pivot logic). 2. Dynamic Smoothing: Instead of plotting these raw values directly, the script processes each calculated level (P, S1-S3, R1-R3) through an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The length of this EMA is controlled by the Pivot Length input. This smoothing process filters out minor volatility and creates curved, dynamic trajectories for the pivot levels rather than static straight lines. How to Use Traders can use this tool to identify dynamic areas of interest where price may react. The White Line represents the Central Pivot. Price action relative to this line helps determine the immediate bias (above for bullish, below for bearish). Green Lines (Support 1, 2, 3) indicate potential demand zones where price may bounce during a downtrend. Red Lines (Resistance 1, 2, 3) indicate potential supply zones where price may reject during an uptrend. Because the levels are smoothed, they can also act as dynamic trend followers, similar to moving averages, but derived from pivot geometry. Settings Show Pivot Points: Toggles the visibility of the plot lines on the chart. Pivot Length: Defines the lookback period for the EMA smoothing applied to the pivot levels. A higher number results in smoother, slower-reacting lines. Timeframe: Determines the timeframe used for the underlying High/Low/Close data (e.g., selecting "D" calculates pivots based on Daily data while viewing a lower timeframe chart). Disclaimer This tool is for educational and technical analysis purposes only. Breakouts can fail (fake-outs), and past geometric patterns do not guarantee future price action. Always manage risk and use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis.

Z-Score & StatsThis is an advanced indicator that measures price deviation from its mean using statistical z-scores, combined with multiple analytical features for trading signals. Core Functionality- Z-Score Calculation Engine: The indicator uses a custom standardization function that calculates how many standard deviations the current price is from its rolling mean. Unlike simple moving averages, this provides a normalized view of price extremes. The calculation maintains a sliding window of data points, efficiently updating mean and variance values as new data arrives while removing old data points. This approach handles missing values gracefully and uses sample variance (rather than population variance) for more accurate statistical measurements. Statistical Zones & Visual Framework: The indicator creates a visual representation of statistical probability zones: ±1 Standard Deviation: Encompasses about 68% of normal price behavior (green zone) ±2 Standard Deviations: Covers approximately 95% of price movements (orange zone) ±3 Standard Deviations: Represents 99.7% probability range (red zone) ±3.5 and ±4 Thresholds: Extreme outlier levels that trigger special alerts The z-score line changes color dynamically based on which zone it occupies, making it easy to identify the current market extremity at a glance. Advanced Features: Volume Contraction Analysis The script monitors volume patterns to identify periods of reduced trading activity. It compares current volume against a moving average and flags when volume drops below a specified threshold (default 70%). Volume contraction often precedes significant price moves and is factored into the optimal entry detection system. Momentum-Based Direction Model: Rather than just showing current z-score levels, the indicator projects where the z-score is likely to move based on recent momentum. It calculates the rate of change in the z-score and extrapolates forward for a specified number of bars. This creates a directional arrow that indicates whether conditions are bullish (negative z-score with upward momentum) or bearish (positive z-score with downward momentum). Divergence Detection System: The script automatically identifies four types of divergences between price action and z-score behavior :- Regular Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while z-score makes higher lows, suggesting weakening downward pressure Regular Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while z-score makes lower highs, indicating exhaustion in the uptrend Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price makes higher lows while z-score makes lower lows, confirming trend continuation in an uptrend Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes lower highs while z-score makes higher highs, confirming downtrend continuation The system uses pivot detection with configurable lookback periods and distance requirements, then draws connecting lines and labels directly on the chart when divergences occur. Yearly Statistics Tracking: The indicator maintains historical records of maximum z-score deviations over yearly periods (configurable bar count). This provides context by showing whether current extremes are unusual compared to typical annual ranges. The average yearly maximum helps traders understand if the current market is exhibiting normal volatility or exceptional conditions. Mean Reversion Probability: Based on the current z-score magnitude, the indicator calculates and displays the statistical probability that price will revert toward the mean. Higher absolute z-scores indicate stronger mean reversion probabilities, ranging from 38% at ±0.5 standard deviations to 99.7% at ±3 standard deviations. Comprehensive Statistics Table: A customizable on-chart table displays real-time statistics including: Current z-score value with directional indicator Predicted z-score based on momentum Current year's maximum absolute z-score Historical average yearly maximum Mean reversion probability percentage Zone status classification (Normal, Moderate, High, Extreme) Directional bias (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) Active divergence status Volume contraction status with ratio Optimal setup detection (combining extreme z-scores with volume contraction) Optimal Entry Setup Detection: The most sophisticated feature identifies high-probability trading setups by combining multiple factors. An "Optimal Long" signal triggers when z-score reaches -3.5 or below AND volume is contracted. An "Optimal Short" signal appears when z-score exceeds +3.5 AND volume is contracted. This combination suggests extreme price deviation occurring on low volume, often preceding strong reversals. Alert System: The script includes a unified alert mechanism that triggers when z-score crosses specific thresholds: Crossing above/below ±3.5 standard deviations (extreme levels) Crossing above/below ±4 standard deviations (critical levels) Alerts fire once per bar with confirmation (previous bar must be on opposite side of threshold) to avoid false signals. Practical Application: This indicator is designed for mean reversion traders who seek statistically significant price extremes. The combination of z-score measurement, volume analysis, momentum projection, and divergence detection creates a multi-layered confirmation system. Traders can use extreme z-scores as potential reversal zones, while the direction model and divergence signals help time entries more precisely. The volume contraction filter adds an additional layer of confluence, identifying moments when reduced participation may precede explosive moves back toward the mean.

Commodity Channel IndexThe Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a technical indicator that measures the strength of the momentum in the market, it is calculated using a Moving average (default 20 SMA, users can change the legth and the type of the MA from dashboard) using formula: cci = (src - ma) / (0.015 * ta.dev(src, ccilength)). When CCI is under -100 that indicates a strong downtrend, and above +100 level a strong uptrend, above 0 level a bullish trend start and bellow 0 level bearish momentum. Crossing back above -100 and bellow + 100 levels not means it is a reversal of the trend, could be just a pullback or a bounce before trend continuation. The indicator display on the main chart a color coded moving average with the length and type selected by users for CCI calculation. The CCI Moving average and the CCI lines in oscillator are both color coded : 1. CCI and MA both red = > Bearish trend 2. CCI and MA both green = > Bullish trend 3. MA color turn yellow or the CCI turn blue that means a possible consolidation will be next or trend change. 4 type of Divergences are detected by the script Bullish, Bearish, Hidden Bullish and Hidden bearish divergences, users can setup alarms for them, by default the divergences ae not displayed, users need to select them to be displayed on the oscillator. A table displaying the vurrent timeframe and 2 higher timeframes of the stats of CCI and its MA. There are 13 alerts that users can setup akarms: Alert for Regular Bullish Divergence Alert for Hidden Bullish Divergence Alert for Regular Bearish Divergence Alert for Hidden Bearish Divergence Alert for CCI Back Above -100 Alert for CCI Back Bellow 100 Alert for CCI Extreme Overbought Alert for CCI Extreme Oversold Alert for trend change by CCI MA => Moving Average Color turned to yellow, that means sideways or possible trend change Alert for CCI Crossing Above CCI MA Alert for CCI Crossing Bellow CCI MA Alert for cci Crossing Above 0 Alert for CCI Crossing Bellow 0

Day Trading MA Crossover IndicatorDay Trading MA Crossover Indicator Overview The Day Trading MA Crossover Indicator is a simple yet effective tool designed for day traders to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on moving average crossovers. It plots two customizable moving averages on your chart and generates clear visual signals when they cross, helping you spot trend reversals or continuations in fast-paced markets.This indicator is ideal for intraday trading on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min, 15-min charts) but can be adapted for swing trading or higher timeframes. It's built with flexibility in mind, allowing you to tweak the MA lengths and types to suit your strategy.Key FeaturesMoving Average Crossovers: Generates "BUY" signals when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA (potential bullish entry) and "SELL" signals when it crosses below (potential bearish entry or exit). Visual Signals: Green "BUY" labels below bars for long entries and red "SELL" labels above bars for short entries or exits. Optional subtle background coloring highlights signals for quick spotting. Customizable Parameters:Fast MA Length (default: 9): Period for the shorter moving average. Slow MA Length (default: 21): Period for the longer moving average. MA Type (default: EMA): Choose between SMA (Simple), EMA (Exponential), or WMA (Weighted) for different smoothing behaviors. Overlay Mode: Plots directly on your price chart without cluttering separate panes. Lightweight and Efficient: Minimal computation for real-time performance on TradingView. How It WorksMoving Averages Calculation: The indicator computes two MAs based on your selected type and lengths using closing prices. Signal Detection: A buy signal triggers on an upward crossover (fast MA > slow MA), indicating potential momentum shift to the upside. A sell signal triggers on a downward crossunder (fast MA < slow MA), signaling possible downside momentum. Visual Aids: Signals appear as labeled shapes with optional background tints to emphasize key bars. Usage TipsFor Day Trading: Apply on volatile instruments like forex pairs, stocks, or crypto. Combine with support/resistance levels or other indicators (e.g., RSI for overbought/oversold confirmation) to filter false signals in ranging markets. Backtesting: Test on historical data to optimize MA lengths for your asset—shorter periods for aggressive trading, longer for smoother trends. Risk Management: Always use stop-losses and position sizing. Signals are not foolproof and work best in trending conditions. Customization: Adjust inputs via the indicator settings panel after adding it to your chart. Example SetupOn a 5-min EUR/USD chart: Use EMA (9/21) for quick crossovers. Look for buy signals above key support with increasing volume. Avoid choppy markets where frequent false crossovers ("whipsaws") can occur.

TRV & nTRV - Trimmed Range VolatilityGrid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup.Grid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup. Why We Developed TRV? When a gap or sudden spike occurs in the morning, this extreme movement affects standard ATR calculations for an extended period. Even if the price moves sideways for the rest of the day, ATR remains elevated. This causes grid bots to operate with unnecessarily wide spacing and execute fewer trades. TRV Advantages: ✅ Unaffected by Gaps: Opening gaps don't distort the calculation ✅ Extreme Point Elimination: Filters the largest and smallest outlier candles ✅ Real-Time Accuracy: Shows current market volatility ✅ Grid Bot Optimization: Enables tighter and more efficient grid spacing ✅ Comparison Capability: Compare different stocks and timeframes with nTRV Grid Bot Usage: The TRV value is used directly to calculate the number of grid lines: (Resistance - Support) / TRV = Number of Grid Lines Example: Resistance: $110 Support: $90 TRV: $2 Grid Count: (110-90)/2 = 10 grid lines Features: Two Filtering Modes: Manual (enter number) or Percentage-Based (automatic ratio) Four Indicators in One: nTRV, TRV, ATR, and nATR all displayed on the same panel nTRV: Normalized value (percentage-based, for stock comparison) TRV: Absolute value (currency-based, for grid calculation) ATR & nATR Included: Standard ATR and nATR for direct comparison with TRV Comprehensive Analysis: Compare filtered (TRV) vs unfiltered (ATR) volatility side-by-side Default: 10% top, 10% bottom outlier elimination Conclusion: TRV is an advanced version of ATR specifically designed for grid bot traders. By filtering outlier movements, it provides more stable and reliable volatility measurement. The indicator includes both TRV (filtered) and ATR (unfiltered) on the same chart, giving traders a comprehensive view to make informed decisions. This dual-display approach enables more efficient grid strategies and increased trading frequency.

Liquidity Sentiment Profile | LUPENIndicator Guide: Liquidity Sentiment Profile (LSP). What is the LSP? The Liquidity Sentiment Profile (LSP) is a "Next-Generation" oscillator designed to look beyond simple price action. While standard indicators (like RSI or MACD) primarily focus on where a candle closes, the LSP analyzes the micro-structure of the entire candle—specifically the relationship between the candle's Body, its Wicks (Shadows), and the Volume. The Core Philosophy: Wicks tell the truth: A long lower wick indicates that sellers pushed the price down, but buyers aggressively absorbed that liquidity and pushed it back up. That is hidden bullish strength. Volume validates intent: A price move with low volume is noise. A price move (or wick rejection) with high volume is a commitment by institutional players. The LSP calculates a "Sentiment Score" between -100 and +100 based on these factors. How to Read the Visuals The Colors (Intensity) color: Light Green - Bullish Acceleration. Buyers are in control, and momentum is increasing. This is the ideal time to be in a Long trade. color: Dark Green - Bullish Deceleration. Buyers are still in control (price is likely rising), but the momentum is fading. This is a warning sign to tighten stop-losses or take profits. color: Light Red - Bearish Acceleration. Sellers are dominating, and panic is increasing. This is the ideal time to be Short. color: Dark Red - Bearish Deceleration. Sellers are still in control, but the downward pressure is exhausted. Be careful with new short positions. The Lines & Fills The Main Line: The actual LSP sentiment value. The Yellow Signal Line: A smoothed average of the sentiment. The Core Fill: The colored area between the Main Line and the Signal Line. When this area "glows", the trend is strong. When it dims (Dark), the trend is weak. Bearish Deceleration. Sellers are still in control, but the downward pressure is exhausted. Be careful with new short positions. The Lines & Fills The Main Line: The actual LSP sentiment value. The Yellow Signal Line: A smoothed average of the sentiment. The Core Fill: The colored area between the Main Line and the Signal Line. When this area "glows" (Neon), the trend is strong. When it dims (Dark), the trend is weak. How to Use It (Trading Strategies) Strategy A: The "Power Cross" (Trend Entry) Use this for entering trends when the market wakes up. Long Entry: Wait for the LSP line to cross ABOVE the Yellow Signal Line. Confirmation: The fill color must turn Neon Green. Short Entry: Wait for the LSP line to cross BELOW the Yellow Signal Line. Confirmation: The fill color must turn Neon Red. Strategy B: The "Absorption" Play (Reversals) This is where the LSP shines. It detects when liquidity is being absorbed before price turns. Bullish Absorption: The Price makes a Lower Low, but the LSP makes a Higher Low. This happens because the LSP detects the Volume on the Lower Wicks (buyers absorbing selling pressure). This is a high-probability reversal signal. Bearish Absorption: The Price makes a Higher High, but the LSP makes a Lower High. The volume on the Upper Wicks suggests sellers are absorbing the buy orders. Strategy C: The "Dimming" Exit (Risk Management) Don't wait for the price to crash to exit a trade. If you are in a Long trade (Neon Green) and the color instantly shifts to Dark Green, it means the "fuel" is running out. Consider taking partial profits or moving your Stop Loss to break even. Standard oscillators (like RSI) often give false signals during strong trends (showing "Overbought" while price keeps going up). The LSP avoids this because it weights Volume and Wicks. If price goes up and volume increases, the LSP stays Neon Green, telling you the move is genuine, not just overextended.

Absorption BubblesSUMMARY This indicator visualizes absorption events by plotting bubbles on candle wicks where volume activity suggests one side of the market is absorbing the other’s pressure. Instead of raw volume, the script normalizes activity against a rolling standard deviation defined by the Lookback Period. Bubbles appear on upper or lower wicks depending on whether buyers or sellers are absorbing pressure. The goal is to highlight whether aggressive orders are being accepted or absorbed at key price points. METHODOLOGY Absorption occurs when one side of the market absorbs aggressive orders from the other, preventing continuation. The script measures normalized volume against a user‑defined threshold to filter out weaker signals. Green bubbles on upper wicks → Selling absorption (buyers push price up, sellers absorb the buying). Red bubbles on lower wicks → Buying absorption (sellers push price down, buyers absorb the selling). Red‑colored bars highlight candles where large volume is concentrated inside the body, signifying aggressive selling activity. Green‑colored bars highlight candles where large volume is concentrated inside the body, signifying aggressive buying activity. The Lookback Period controls how many bars are used to calculate the rolling standard deviation of volume, letting traders adjust sensitivity to recent vs. longer‑term activity. Optional significant volume lines extend forward, marking areas where absorption was strongest. FUNCTIONS Normalized volume detection using rolling standard deviation Adjustable Lookback Period for volume normalization Dynamic bubble plotting on candle wicks (size scales with absorption strength) Separate visualization for buying vs. selling absorption Alerts for buying absorption, selling absorption, or any absorption event (only at bar close) Bar coloring when large absorption occurs inside candle bodies APPLICATION Setup: Add the script to any chart and timeframe. Adjust the Absorption Threshold to filter out weaker bubbles and the Lookback Period to control how volume normalization is calculated. Red bubbles highlight buying absorption, often signalling potential price pivots - price can often go upwards from this. Green bubbles mark selling absorption, reflecting resistance to upward moves - price may go downwards from this. Interpretation: Green bubbles on upper wicks = sellers absorbing buying pressure. Red bubbles on lower wicks = buyers absorbing selling pressure. Larger bubbles = stronger absorption relative to recent volume. Settings & Use: Raising the Absorption Threshold filters out smaller bubbles, leaving only significant absorption events. Changing the Lookback Period alters how “normal” volume is defined — shorter periods make the script more sensitive, longer periods smooth out noise. Alerts can be set for buying absorption, selling absorption, or any absorption event, and they only trigger at bar close to avoid noise.
