Multi-Mode Seasonality Map [BackQuant]Multi-Mode Seasonality Map
A fast, visual way to expose repeatable calendar patterns in returns, volatility, volume, and range across multiple granularities (Day of Week, Day of Month, Hour of Day, Week of Month). Built for idea generation, regime context, and execution timing.
What is “seasonality” in markets?
Seasonality refers to statistically repeatable patterns tied to the calendar or clock, rather than to price levels. Examples include specific weekdays tending to be stronger, certain hours showing higher realized volatility, or month-end flow boosting volumes. This tool measures those effects directly on your charted symbol.
Why seasonality matters
It’s orthogonal alpha: timing edges independent of price structure that can complement trend, mean reversion, or flow-based setups.
It frames expectations: when a session typically runs hot or cold, you size and pace risk accordingly.
It improves execution: entering during historically favorable windows, avoiding historically noisy windows.
It clarifies context: separating normal “calendar noise” from true anomaly helps avoid overreacting to routine moves.
How traders use seasonality in practice
Timing entries/exits : If Tuesday morning is historically weak for this asset, a mean-reversion buyer may wait for that drift to complete before entering.
Sizing & stops : If 13:00–15:00 shows elevated volatility, widen stops or reduce size to maintain constant risk.
Session playbooks : Build repeatable routines around the hours/days that consistently drive PnL.
Portfolio rotation : Compare seasonal edges across assets to schedule focus and deploy attention where the calendar favors you.
Why Day-of-Week (DOW) can be especially helpful
Flows cluster by weekday (ETF creations/redemptions, options hedging cadence, futures roll patterns, macro data releases), so DOW often encodes a stable micro-structure signal.
Desk behavior and liquidity provision differ by weekday, impacting realized range and slippage.
DOW is simple to operationalize: easy rules like “fade Monday afternoon chop” or “press Thursday trend extension” can be tested and enforced.
What this indicator does
Multi-mode heatmaps : Switch between Day of Week, Day of Month, Hour of Day, Week of Month .
Metric selection : Analyze Returns , Volatility ((high-low)/open), Volume (vs 20-bar average), or Range (vs 20-bar average).
Confidence intervals : Per cell, compute mean, standard deviation, and a z-based CI at your chosen confidence level.
Sample guards : Enforce a minimum sample size so thin data doesn’t mislead.
Readable map : Color palettes, value labels, sample size, and an optional legend for fast interpretation.
Scoreboard : Optional table highlights best/worst DOW and today’s seasonality with CI and a simple “edge” tag.
How it’s calculated (under the hood)
Per bar, compute the chosen metric (return, vol, volume %, or range %) over your lookback window.
Bucket that metric into the active calendar bin (e.g., Tuesday, the 15th, 10:00 hour, or Week-2 of month).
For each bin, accumulate sum , sum of squares , and count , then at render compute mean , std dev , and confidence interval .
Color scale normalizes to the observed min/max of eligible bins (those meeting the minimum sample size).
How to read the heatmap
Color : Greener/warmer typically implies higher mean value for the chosen metric; cooler implies lower.
Value label : The center number is the bin’s mean (e.g., average % return for Tuesdays).
Confidence bracket : Optional “ ” shows the CI for the mean, helping you gauge stability.
n = sample size : More samples = more reliability. Treat small-n bins with skepticism.
Suggested workflows
Pick the lens : Start with Analysis Type = Returns , Heatmap View = Day of Week , lookback ≈ 252 trading days . Note the best/worst weekdays and their CI width.
Sanity-check volatility : Switch to Volatility to see which bins carry the most realized range. Use that to plan stop width and trade pacing.
Check liquidity proxy : Flip to Volume , identify thin vs thick windows. Execute risk in thicker windows to reduce slippage.
Drill to intraday : Use Hour of Day to reveal opening bursts, lunchtime lulls, and closing ramps. Combine with your main strategy to schedule entries.
Calendar nuance : Inspect Week of Month and Day of Month for end-of-month, options-cycle, or data-release effects.
Codify rules : Translate stable edges into rules like “no fresh risk during bottom-quartile hours” or “scale entries during top-quartile hours.”
Parameter guidance
Analysis Period (Days) : 252 for a one-year view. Shorten (100–150) to emphasize the current regime; lengthen (500+) for long-memory effects.
Heatmap View : Start with DOW for robustness, then refine with Hour-of-Day for your execution window.
Confidence Level : 95% is standard; use 90% if you want wider coverage with fewer false “insufficient data” bins.
Min Sample Size : 10–20 helps filter noise. For Hour-of-Day on higher timeframes, consider lowering if your dataset is small.
Color Scheme : Choose a palette with good mid-tone contrast (e.g., Red-Green or Viridis) for quick thresholding.
Interpreting common patterns
Return-positive but low-vol bins : Favorable drift windows for passive adds or tight-stop trend continuation.
Return-flat but high-vol bins : Opportunity for mean reversion or breakout scalping, but manage risk accordingly.
High-volume bins : Better expected execution quality; schedule size here if slippage matters.
Wide CI : Edge is unstable or sample is thin; treat as exploratory until more data accumulates.
Best practices
Revalidate after regime shifts (new macro cycle, liquidity regime change, major exchange microstructure updates).
Use multiple lenses: DOW to find the day, then Hour-of-Day to refine the entry window.
Combine with your core setup signals; treat seasonality as a filter or weight, not a standalone trigger.
Test across assets/timeframes—edges are instrument-specific and may not transfer 1:1.
Limitations & notes
History-dependent: short histories or sparse intraday data reduce reliability.
Not causal: a hot Tuesday doesn’t guarantee future Tuesday strength; treat as probabilistic bias.
Aggregation bias: changing session hours or symbol migrations can distort older samples.
CI is z-approximate: good for fast triage, not a substitute for full hypothesis testing.
Quick setup
Use Returns + Day of Week + 252d to get a clean yearly map of weekday edge.
Flip to Hour of Day on intraday charts to schedule precise entries/exits.
Keep Show Values and Confidence Intervals on while you calibrate; hide later for a clean visual.
The Multi-Mode Seasonality Map helps you convert the calendar from an afterthought into a quantitative edge, surfacing when an asset tends to move, expand, or stay quiet—so you can plan, size, and execute with intent.

Fixed High Timeframe Moving AveragesFixed High Timeframe Moving Averages (W/D/4H)
Summary
This indicator plots essential, high-timeframe (HTF) Moving Averages onto your chart, **no matter which timeframe you are currently viewing**.
It is designed for traders who need multi-timeframe context at a glance. Stop switching charts to see where the 200-Week or 50-Day MA is—now you can see all critical HTF levels directly on your 5-minute (or any other) chart.
---
Who it’s for
Traders who rely on moving averages but like to work on lower chart timeframes while keeping higher timeframe context in sight. If you scalp on 1–15m yet want Weekly/Daily/4H MAs always visible, this is for you.
---
What it shows
Pinned (“fixed”) moving averages from higher timeframes—Weekly (20/100/200) , Daily (50/100/200/365) and 4H (200) —rendered on any chart timeframe. Your favorite HTF MAs stay on screen no matter what TF you’re currently analyzing.
---
Features
* **MA types:** SMA, EMA, VWMA, Hull.
* **Fully configurable:** toggle each line, set periods, colors, and thickness.
* **Two alert modes (see below):** intrabar vs confirmed HTF close.
* **Works on any symbol & chart TF** using `request.security` to fetch HTF data.
---
Alerts & Modes
This indicator solves the biggest problem with MTF alerts: false signals. You can choose one of two modes:
1. **Intrabar mode** — compares current chart price to the HTF MA. Triggers as soon as price crosses the HTF line; great for early signals but may update until the HTF bar closes.
2. **Confirmed mode** — checks HTF close vs HTF MA. Signals only on the higher-TF bar close; fewer false starts, no intrabar repainting on that TF.
Per-line *Cross Above / Cross Below* conditions are provided for all enabled MAs (e.g., “20W — Cross Above”, “365D — Cross Below”, etc.).
**How to use alerts:** add the script → “Create Alert” → pick any condition from the script’s list.
---
Why this helps
* Keeps Weekly/Daily structure visible while you execute on LTF.
* Classic anchors (e.g., 200D, 20W/100W/200W) are popular for trend bias, dynamic support/resistance, and pullback context.
* Lets you standardize MA references across all your lower-TF playbooks.
---
Notes on confirmation & repainting
* Intrabar signals can change until the higher-TF bar closes (that’s expected with multi-TF data).
* Confirmed mode waits for the HTF close—cleaner, but later. Choose what fits your workflow.
---
Quick setup
1. Pick `MA Type` (SMA/EMA/VWMA/Hull).
2. Enable the HTF lines you want (Weekly 20/100/200; Daily 50/100/200/365; 4H 200).
3. Choose `Alert Mode` (Intrabar vs Confirmed).
4. Style colors/widths to taste and set alerts on the lines you care about.
---
Good practice
* Combine HTF MAs with price action (swings, structure, liquidity grabs) rather than using them in isolation.
* Always validate signals in your execution TF and use a risk plan tailored to volatility.
* Protect your capital: position sizing, stops, and disciplined risk management matter more than any single line on the chart.

Scissors&Knifes V3.1✂️ The Scissors (PAG Chop V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Scissors measure market compression and breakout readiness.
They use a modified Choppiness Index that looks at the relationship between:
True Range volatility (ATR × period length)
The total high–low range over the same window.
The smaller the ratio (sum of TR vs range), the more directional and impulsive the market is.
The higher the ratio, the more “sideways” the market trades.
This version smooths the result over PAG_SMOOTHLEN bars and applies several color bands that correspond to volatility states.
🎨 Color code meaning
Range State Color Interpretation
≤ 30 Strong Red #8B0000 Momentum exhaustion on downside, sellers dominating — about to reverse or already strong down-trend.
30 – 38 Brick Red #A52A2A Fading downside pressure; often the “bleeding edge” of a bearish climax.
38 – 55 Transparent black (α≈100) Neutral chop zone — indecision, range-building.
55 – 61.8 Yellow (optional) #DAA520 Early compression pocket where volatility starts contracting; the calm before a trend.
61.8 – 70 Bright Green #556B2F Energy release phase: volatility breaking out upward.
≥ 70 Strong Green #355E3B Sustained bullish drive, often continuation leg of a trend.
🪶 Secret nuance:
The transition bands (38–45 and 45–55) are treated as fully transparent to mark “dead zones.”
When PAG Chop sits here, all label activity pauses — the system resets its cluster memory so the next colored print begins a new “cluster”, letting you clearly see where fresh directional momentum starts.
🧩 Cluster logic
Every time a colored (non-transparent) reading appears, it belongs to a “color cluster.”
Grey labels (= count 1) mark the genesis of a new cluster, and following counts 2, 3, 4 … represent the internal continuity of that trend state.
You can optionally hide the first N grey or count 2 labels to reduce clutter on the initial stabilization bars.
✂️ Label meaning
Each label shows:
Emoji ✂️
Current count (e.g. ✂️ = 3 means 3 timeframes are simultaneously firing)
Optional list of the timeframes that contribute.
So a high count (e.g. 8–10) means many lower TFs are synchronizing volatility breakout — a multiframe alignment, often just before an acceleration burst.
🔪 The Knife (Mr Blonde V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Mr Blonde converts the slope of a long EMA into an angle-of-attack metric — literally the “tilt” of market momentum.
It computes the EMA gradient relative to price span and rescales it into degrees (-5 ° to +5 °).
The steeper the angle, the stronger the directional push.
🎨 Color code meaning
Angle range Color Interpretation
≥ +5 ° Transparent (Black 1) Fully over-extended up move — wait for reset.
+3.57 – +5 ° Dark Red Strong upward slope, momentum apex.
+2.14 – +3.57 ° Orange Medium upward slope, trend acceleration zone.
+0.71 – +2.14 ° Light Orange Mild upward bias, pre-momentum phase.
0 to -0.71 ° Yellow Neutral transition.
-0.71 – -2.14 ° Olive Green Soft bearish slope.
-2.14 – -3.57 ° Olive Drab Building bearish momentum.
-3.57 – -5 ° Hunter Green Strong downward angle, aggressive push.
≤ -5 ° Transparent (Black 2) Oversold/over-tilted — likely exhaustion.
🪶 Secret nuance:
Mr Blonde uses a “span normalization” factor that divides EMA slope by the dynamic range of highs and lows.
This lets it compare angles fairly across assets with different volatility profiles (e.g. BTC vs ES) — it’s one of the rare EMA-angle implementations that self-scales properly.
🗡 Label meaning
Emoji 🔪
Count = how many TFs share the same momentum angle bias.
When many TFs show the same slope polarity (e.g. knife = 8), you’re in a deep momentum cascade — a “knife trend.”
💫 Yellow knife
The yellow state marks neutrality or slope flattening.
If you enable yellow visibility (mb_show_yellow), you can see where momentum cools off — often the earliest reversal hint.
⚙️ Shared mechanics between ✂️ and 🔪
Multi-timeframe sweep
The script cycles through 1 m → 10 m by default, running both engines once per TF.
Each returning true adds +1 to the count.
So:
sc_hits = count of timeframes where PAG fires + 1
knife_hits = count of timeframes where MB fires + 1
That “+1 shift” means there’s always at least 1, letting count = 1 represent the local TF itself.
Cluster limiter
If Limit max labels per cluster is on, you cap how many total symbols (both ✂️ & 🔪, including trails) can appear within one color phase — avoiding chart spam during extended trends.
Trails
Each printed label seeds a short-lived “trail” sequence — faded copies extending N bars forward.
Trails visualize the linger effect of the last signal, useful for visually connecting bursts in momentum.
Grey or count = 1 labels can have shorter or longer trails depending on your overrides (*_trail_bars_grey).
They’re purely visual and do not affect alerting.
Alerts
Alerts fire independently of whether you hide labels — unless you enable “respect filters”.
This guarantees you never miss a structural signal even if you suppress visuals for clarity.
🌈 Interpreting Both Together
Scenario Interpretation
✂️ = low (1–2) + 🔪 rising (red/orange) Market just leaving chop, early thrust stage.
✂️ = high (≥ 5) + 🔪 green Fully aligned breakout continuation — trend in progress.
✂️ = yellow cluster + 🔪 yellow Volatility squeeze, energy buildup — next expansion near.
✂️ = green cluster → 🔪 turns red Cross-state conflict; likely transition or correction.
✂️ = grey + 🔪 grey Reset condition — both engines cooling; stand aside.
💡 Hidden edge:
Scissors signal potential, Knife measures kinetic force.
The perfect storm is when ✂️ goes from yellow→green one bar before 🔪 shifts from orange→green — it catches the birth of directional flow while volatility is still tight.
🧭 Reading the labels intuitively
Grey ✂️/🔪 = 1 → embryonic state, may fizzle or bloom.
✂️/🔪 = 2 or 3 → expansion taking hold.
✂️/🔪 ≥ 4 (mid black) → strong synchronized drive across TFs.
Transparent gap → cluster reset; prepare for new phase.
Trail lines → echo of previous cluster strength.
Final secret tip 🗝
Because both engines are mathematically uncorrelated (volatility vs EMA angle), when they agree in color polarity on multiple TFs, you have one of the cleanest probabilistic trend windows possible.
If you ever see ✂️ = 6 + 🔪 = 6 both pointing the same way — that’s a “knife-through-the-scissors” moment: volatility expansion and directional slope synchronized — those are the bars where institutional algorithms tend to add size.
Aggression IndexAggression index is a simple yet very helpful indicator.
It measures:
- the number of bull vs bear candles;
- bull vs bear volume;
- length bull vs bear candlesticks over a predetermined lookback period.
It will use that information to come up with a delta for each measurement and an Aggression Index in the end.
VWAP Composites📊 VWAP Composite - Advanced Multi-Period Volume Weighted Average Price Indicator
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OVERVIEW
VWAP Composite is an advanced volume-weighted average price (VWAP) indicator that goes beyond traditional single-period VWAP calculations by offering composite multi-period analysis and unprecedented customization. This indicator solves a common problem traders face: traditional VWAP resets at arbitrary intervals (session start, day, week), but significant price action and volume accumulation often spans multiple periods. VWAP Composite allows you to anchor VWAP calculations to any timeframe—or combine multiple periods into a single composite VWAP—giving you a true representation of average price weighted by volume across the exact periods that matter to your analysis.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS - CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
📌 CORE VWAP CALCULATION
The indicator calculates VWAP using the standard volume-weighted formula:
• Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
• VWAP = Σ(Typical Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
This calculation is performed across user-defined time periods, ensuring each bar's contribution to the average is proportional to its trading volume.
📌 STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
The indicator calculates volume-weighted standard deviation to measure price dispersion around the VWAP:
• Variance = Σ / Σ(Volume)
• Standard Deviation = √Variance
• Upper Band = VWAP + (StdDev × Multiplier)
• Lower Band = VWAP - (StdDev × Multiplier)
These bands help identify overbought/oversold conditions relative to the volume-weighted mean, with high-volume price excursions having greater impact on band width than low-volume moves.
📌 COMPOSITE PERIOD METHODOLOGY (Auto Mode)
Unlike traditional VWAP that resets at fixed intervals, Auto Mode creates composite VWAPs by combining the current period with N previous periods:
• Period Span = 1: Current period only (standard VWAP behavior)
• Period Span = 2: Current period + 1 previous period combined
• Period Span = 3: Current period + 2 previous periods combined
• And so on...
Example: A 3-period Weekly composite VWAP calculates from the start of 2 weeks ago through the current week's end, creating a single VWAP that represents 21 days of continuous price and volume data. This provides context about where price stands relative to the volume-weighted average over multiple weeks, not just the current week.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY FEATURES & ORIGINALITY
✅ DUAL OPERATING MODES
1️⃣ MANUAL MODE (5 Independent VWAPs)
Define up to 5 separate VWAP calculations with custom start/end times:
• Perfect for anchoring VWAP to specific events (earnings, Fed announcements, major reversals)
• Each VWAP has independent color settings for lines and deviation band backgrounds
• Individual control over calculation extension and visual extension (explained below)
• Useful for tracking multiple institutional accumulation/distribution zones simultaneously
2️⃣ AUTO MODE (Composite Period VWAP)
Automatically calculates VWAP across combined time periods:
• Supported periods: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly
• Configurable period span (1-20 periods)
• Always up-to-date, recalculates on each new bar
• Ideal for systematic analysis across consistent timeframes
✅ DUAL EXTENSION SYSTEM (Manual Mode Innovation)
Most VWAP indicators only offer "on/off" for extending calculations. This indicator provides two distinct extension options:
🔹 EXTEND CALCULATION TO CURRENT BAR
When enabled, continues including new bars in the VWAP calculation after the defined end time. The VWAP value updates dynamically as new volume enters the market.
Use case: You anchored VWAP to a major low 3 weeks ago. You want the VWAP to continue evolving with new volume data to track ongoing institutional positioning.
🔹 EXTEND VISUAL LINE ONLY
When enabled (and calculation extension is disabled), projects the "frozen" VWAP value forward as a reference line. The VWAP value remains fixed at what it was at the end time, but the line and deviation bands visually extend to current price.
Use case: You want to see how price is behaving relative to the VWAP that existed at a specific point in time (e.g., "Where is price now vs. the 5-day VWAP that existed at last Friday's close?").
This dual system gives you unprecedented control over whether you're tracking a "living" VWAP that incorporates new data or using historical VWAP levels as static reference points.
✅ CUSTOMIZABLE STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
• Adjustable multiplier (0.1 to 5.0)
• Independent background colors with opacity control for each VWAP
• Dashed band lines for easy visual distinction from main VWAP
• Bands extend when visual extension is enabled, maintaining zone visibility
✅ COMPREHENSIVE LABELING SYSTEM
Each VWAP displays:
• Current VWAP value
• Upper deviation band value (High)
• Lower deviation band value (Low)
• Extension status indicator (Calc Extended / Visual Extended)
• Color-coded for quick identification
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
🎯 SCENARIO 1: EVENT-ANCHORED VWAP (Manual Mode)
Use case: A stock gaps down 15% on earnings and you want to track where institutions are positioning during the recovery.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. Enable VWAP 1
3. Set Start Time to the earnings gap bar
4. Set End Time to current time (or leave far in future)
5. Enable "Extend Calculation to Current Bar"
6. Watch how price respects the VWAP as a dynamic support/resistance
Interpretation:
• Price above VWAP = buyers in control since the event
• Price testing VWAP from above = potential support
• Volume-weighted standard deviation bands show normal price range
• Price outside bands = potential exhaustion/mean reversion setup
🎯 SCENARIO 2: MULTI-WEEK INSTITUTIONAL ACCUMULATION ZONE (Auto Mode)
Use case: You trade swing setups and want to identify where institutions have been accumulating over the past 3 weeks.
Setup:
1. Switch to Auto Mode
2. Select "Weekly" period type
3. Set Period Span to 3
4. Enable standard deviation bands
Interpretation:
• 3-week composite VWAP shows the true average institutional entry
• Price bouncing off VWAP repeatedly = strong support (institutions defending their average)
• Price breaking below VWAP on high volume = potential distribution
• Deviation bands contracting = consolidation; expanding = volatility increase
🎯 SCENARIO 3: COMPARING MULTIPLE TIME HORIZONS (Manual Mode)
Use case: You want to see short-term vs medium-term vs long-term VWAP alignments.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. VWAP 1: Last 5 trading days (blue)
3. VWAP 2: Last 10 trading days (orange)
4. VWAP 3: Last 20 trading days (purple)
5. Enable "Extend Calculation" for all
6. Set different background colors for visual separation
Interpretation:
• All VWAPs aligned upward = strong trend across all timeframes
• Price between VWAPs = finding equilibrium between different trader timeframes
• Short-term VWAP crossing long-term VWAP = momentum shift
• Price rejecting at higher-timeframe VWAP = that timeframe's traders defending their average
🎯 SCENARIO 4: HISTORICAL VWAP REFERENCE LEVELS (Manual Mode)
Use case: You want to see where the 1-month VWAP was at each month-end as static reference levels.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. VWAP 1: Set to last month's start/end dates
3. VWAP 2: Set to 2 months ago start/end dates
4. VWAP 3: Set to 3 months ago start/end dates
5. Disable "Extend Calculation"
6. Enable "Extend Visual Line Only"
Interpretation:
• Each VWAP represents the volume-weighted average for that complete month
• These become static support/resistance levels
• Price returning to old monthly VWAPs = institutional memory/gap fill behavior
• Useful for identifying longer-term value areas
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

✓ Support/Resistance: VWAP often acts as dynamic S/R, especially on higher volume periods
✓ Institutional Positioning: Multi-day/week VWAPs show where large players have established positions
✓ Entry Timing: Wait for pullbacks to VWAP in trending markets
✓ Stop Placement: Use VWAP ± standard deviation as volatility-adjusted stop levels
✓ Breakout Confirmation: Breakouts from consolidation with price reclaiming VWAP = stronger signal
✓ Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Compare short vs long-period VWAPs to gauge momentum alignment
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
• The indicator redraws on each bar to maintain accurate visual representation (uses `barstate.islast`)
• Maximum lookback is limited to 5000 bars for performance optimization
• Time range calculations work across all timeframes but are most effective on intraday to daily charts
• Standard deviation bands assume volume-weighted distribution; extreme events may violate assumptions
• Auto mode always calculates to current bar; use Manual mode for fixed historical periods

ICT HTF Volume Candles (Based on HTF Candles by Fadi)# ICT HTF Volume Candles - Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis
## Overview
This indicator provides multi-timeframe volume visualization designed to complement price action analysis. It displays volume data from up to 6 higher timeframes simultaneously in a separate panel, allowing traders to identify volume spikes, divergences, and institutional activity without switching between timeframes.
**Original Concept Credits:** This indicator builds upon the HTF Candles framework by Fadi, adapting it specifically for volume analysis with enhanced features including gap-filling for extended hours, multiple scaling methods, and advanced synchronization.
## What Makes This Script Original
### Key Innovations:
1. **Three Volume Scaling Methods:**
- **Per-HTF Auto Scale:** Each timeframe scales independently for detailed comparison
- **Global Auto Scale:** All timeframes use unified scale for relative volume comparison
- **Manual Scale:** User-defined maximum for consistent analysis across sessions
2. **Bullish/Bearish Volume Differentiation:**
- Volume bars colored based on price movement (close vs open)
- Separate styling for bullish (green) and bearish (red) volume periods
- Helps identify whether volume supports price direction
3. **Advanced Time Synchronization:**
- Custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM ET)
- Timezone-aware calculations for New York trading hours
- Real-time countdown timers for each timeframe
- **Gap-filling technology** for continuous display during extended hours and weekends
4. **Flexible Display Options:**
- Configurable spacing and positioning
- Label placement (top, bottom, or both)
- Day-of-week or time interval labels on candles
- Works reliably in backtesting and live trading
## How It Works
### Volume Calculation
The indicator uses `request.security()` with optimized parameters to fetch volume data from higher timeframes:
- **Volume Open/High/Low/Close (OHLC):** Tracks volume changes within each HTF candle
- **Color Logic:** Compares HTF close vs open prices to determine bullish/bearish classification
- **Alignment:** All volume bars share a common baseline for easy visual comparison
- **Gap Handling:** Uses `gaps=barmerge.gaps_off` to maintain continuity during non-trading hours
### Technical Implementation
```
1. Monitors HTF timeframe changes using request.security() with lookahead
2. Creates new VolumeCandle object when HTF bar opens
3. Updates current candle's volume H/L/C on each chart bar
4. Applies selected scaling method to normalize display height
5. Repositions all candles and labels on each bar update
6. Fills gaps automatically during extended hours for consistent display
```
### Scaling Methods Explained
**Method 1 - Auto Scale per HTF:**
Each timeframe displays volume relative to its own maximum. Best for identifying patterns within each individual timeframe.
**Method 2 - Global Auto Scale:**
All timeframes share the same scale based on the highest volume across all HTFs. Best for comparing relative volume strength between timeframes.
**Method 3 - Manual Scale:**
User sets maximum volume value. Best for maintaining consistent scale across different trading sessions or instruments.
## How to Use This Indicator
### Setup
1. Add indicator to your chart (it appears in a separate panel below price)
2. Configure up to 6 higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
3. Set number of candles to display for each timeframe
4. Choose volume scaling method based on your analysis needs
5. Enable "Fix gaps in non-trading hours" for extended hours trading (enabled by default)
### Interpretation
**Volume Spikes:**
- Sudden increase in volume height indicates institutional activity or strong conviction
- Compare volume between timeframes to identify where the real money is moving
- Look for volume spikes that appear across multiple timeframes simultaneously
**Bullish vs Bearish Volume:**
- **Green volume bars:** Price closed higher (buying pressure)
- **Red volume bars:** Price closed lower (selling pressure)
- High green volume during uptrend = confirmation of strength
- High red volume during downtrend = confirmation of weakness
- High volume opposite to trend = potential reversal warning
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- **5m/15m:** Scalping and day trading activity
- **1H/4H:** Swing trading and intraday institutional flows
- **Daily/Weekly:** Major position building and long-term trends
**Divergences:**
- Price making new highs but volume declining = weakening trend
- Volume increasing while price consolidates = potential breakout brewing
- Price breaks level but volume doesn't confirm = likely false breakout
### Practical Examples
**Example 1 - Institutional Confirmation:**
Price breaks above resistance. Check volume across timeframes:
- 5m shows spike = retail interest
- 15m + 1H + 4H all show spikes = institutional confirmation
- **Trade confidence: HIGH**
**Example 2 - False Breakout Detection:**
Price breaks resistance with:
- High volume on 5m only
- Normal/low volume on 1H and 4H
- **Interpretation:** Likely retail trap, institutions not participating
- **Action:** Wait for pullback or avoid
**Example 3 - Accumulation Phase:**
Price ranges sideways but:
- Daily volume gradually increasing
- Weekly volume above average
- **Interpretation:** Smart money accumulating
- **Action:** Prepare for breakout in direction of volume
**Example 4 - Volume Divergence:**
Price makes new high:
- Current high has lower volume than previous high across all timeframes
- **Interpretation:** Weakening momentum
- **Action:** Consider profit-taking or reversal trade

Adaptive Trend Breaks Adaptive Trend Breaks
## WHAT IT DOES
This script is a modified and enhanced version of "Trendline Breakouts With Targets" concept by ChartPrime.
Adaptive Trend Breaks (ATB) is a trendline breakout system optimized for scalping liquid futures contracts. The indicator automatically draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on pivot points, then generates trade signals when price breaks through these levels with confirmation filters. It includes automated target and stop-loss placement with real-time P&L tracking in dollars.
## HOW IT WORKS
**Trendline Detection Method:**
The indicator uses pivot high/low detection to identify significant price turning points. When a new pivot forms, it calculates the slope between consecutive pivots to draw dynamic trendlines. These lines extend forward based on the established trend angle, creating actionable support and resistance zones.
**Band System:**
Around each trendline, the script creates a "band" using a volatility-adjusted calculation: `ATR(14) * 0.2 * bandwidth multiplier / 2`. This adaptive band accounts for current market conditions - wider during volatile periods, tighter during quiet markets.
**Breakout Logic:**
A breakout signal triggers when:
1. Price closes beyond the trendline + band zone
2. Volume exceeds the 20-period moving average by your set multiplier (default 1.2x)
3. Price is within Regular Trading Hours (9:30-16:00 EST) if session filter enabled
4. Current ATR meets minimum volatility threshold (prevents trading dead markets)
**Target & Stop Calculation:**
Upon breakout confirmation:
- **Entry**: Trendline breach point
- **Target**: Entry ± (bandwidth × target multiplier) - default 8x for quick scalps
- **Stop**: Entry ± (bandwidth × stop multiplier) - default 8x for 1:1 risk/reward
- Multipliers adjust automatically to market volatility through the ATR-based band
**P&L Conversion:**
The script converts point movements to dollars using:
```
Dollar P&L = (Price Points × Contract Point Value × Quantity)
```
For example, a 10-point NQ move with 2 contracts = 10 × $20 × 2 = $400
## HOW TO USE IT
**Setup:**
1. Select your instrument (NQ/ES/YM/RTY) - point values auto-configure
2. Set contract quantity for accurate dollar P&L
3. Choose pivot period (lower = more signals but more noise, default 5 for scalping)
4. Adjust bandwidth multiplier if trendlines are too tight/loose (1-5 range)
**Filters Configuration:**
- **Volume Filter**: Requires breakout volume > moving average × multiplier. Increase multiplier (1.5-2.0) for higher conviction trades
- **Session Filter**: Enable to trade only RTH. Disable for 24-hour trading
- **ATR Filter**: Prevents signals during low volatility. Increase minimum % for more active markets only
**Risk Management:**
- Set target/stop multipliers based on your risk tolerance
- 8x bandwidth = approximately 1:1 risk/reward for most liquid futures
- Enable trailing stops for trend-following approach (moves stop to protect profits)
- Adjust line length to see targets further into the future
**Statistics Table:**
- Choose timeframe to analyze: all-time, today, this week, custom days
- Monitor win rate, profit factor, and net P&L in dollars
- Track long vs short performance separately
- See real-time unrealized P&L on active trades
**Reading Signals:**
- **Green triangle below bar** = Long breakout (resistance broken)
- **Red triangle above bar** = Short breakout (support broken)
- **White dashed line** = Entry price
- **Orange line** = Take profit target with dollar value
- **Red line** = Stop loss with dollar value
- **Green checkmark (✓)** = Target hit, winning trade
- **Red X (✗)** = Stop hit, losing trade
## WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
**Limitations to Understand:**
- Does not predict future trendline formations - it reacts to breakouts after they occur
- Historical trendlines disappear after breakout (not kept on chart for clarity)
- Requires sufficient volatility - may not signal in extremely quiet markets
- Volume filter requires exchange volume data (not available on all symbols)
- Statistics are indicator-based simulations, not actual trading results
- Does not account for slippage, commissions, or order fills
## BEST PRACTICES
**Recommended Settings by Market:**
- **NQ (Nasdaq)**: Default settings work well, consider volume multiplier 1.3-1.5
- **ES (S&P 500)**: Slightly slower, try period 7-8, volume 1.2
- **YM (Dow)**: Lower volatility, reduce bandwidth to 1.5-2
- **RTY (Russell)**: Higher volatility, increase bandwidth to 3-4
**Risk Management:**
- Never risk more than 2-3% of account per trade
- Use contract quantity calculator: Max Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × Point Value)
- Start with 1 contract while learning the system
- Backtest your specific timeframe and instrument before live trading
**Optimization Tips:**
- Increase pivot period (7-10) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- Raise volume multiplier (1.5-2.0) in choppy markets
- Lower target/stop multipliers (5-6x) for tighter profit taking
- Use trailing stops in strong trending conditions
- Disable session filter for overnight gaps and Asia session moves
## TECHNICAL DETAILS
**Key Calculations:**
- Pivot Detection: `ta.pivothigh(high, period, period/2)` and `ta.pivotlow(low, period, period/2)`
- Slope Calculation: `(newPivot - oldPivot) / (newTime - oldTime)`
- Adaptive Band: `min(ATR(14) * 0.2, close * 0.002) * multiplier / 2`
- Breakout Confirmation: Price crosses trendline + 10% of band threshold
**Data Requirements:**
- Minimum bars in view: 500 for proper pivot calculation
- Volume data required for volume filter accuracy
- Intraday timeframes recommended (1min - 15min) for scalping
- Works on any timeframe but optimized for fast execution
**Performance Metrics:**
All statistics calculate based on indicator signals:
- Tracks every signal as a trade from entry to TP/SL
- P&L in actual contract dollar values
- Win rate = (Winning trades / Total trades) × 100
- Profit factor = Gross profit / Gross loss
- Separates long/short performance for bias analysis
## IDEAL FOR
- Futures scalpers and day traders
- Traders who prefer visual trendline breakouts
- Those wanting automated TP/SL placement
- Traders tracking performance in dollar terms
- Multiple timeframe analysis (compare 1min vs 5min signals)
## NOT SUITABLE FOR
- Swing trading (targets too close)
- Stocks/forex without modifying point values
- Extremely low timeframes (<30 seconds) - too much noise
- Markets without volume data if using volume filter
- Illiquid contracts (signals may not execute at shown prices)
---
**Settings Summary:**
- Core: Period, bandwidth, extension, trendline style
- Filters: Volume, RTH session, ATR volatility
- Risk: R:R ratio, target/stop multipliers, trailing stop
- Display: Stats table position, size, colors
- Stats: Timeframe selection (all-time to custom days)

Macro Momentum – 4-Theme, Vol Target, RebalanceMacro Momentum — 4-Theme, Vol Target, Rebalance
Purpose. A macro-aware strategy that blends four economic “themes”—Business Cycle, Trade/USD, Monetary Policy, and Risk Sentiment—into a single, smoothed Composite signal. It then:
gates entries/exits with hysteresis bands,
enforces optional regime filters (200-day bias), and
sizes the position via volatility targeting with caps for long/short exposure.
It’s designed to run on any chart (index, ETF, futures, single stocks) while reading external macro proxies on a chosen Signal Timeframe.
How it works (high level)
Build four theme signals from robust macro proxies:
Business Cycle: XLI/XLU and Copper/Gold momentum, confirmed by the chart’s price vs a long SMA (default 200D).
Trade / USD: DXY momentum (sign-flipped so a rising USD is bearish for risk assets).
Monetary Policy: 10Y–2Y curve slope momentum and 10Y yield trend (steepening & falling 10Y = risk-on; rising 10Y = risk-off).
Risk Sentiment: VIX momentum (bearish if higher) and HYG/IEF momentum (bullish if credit outperforms duration).
Normalize & de-noise.
Optional Winsorization (MAD or stdev) clamps outliers over a lookback window.
Optional Z-score → tanh mapping compresses to ~ for stable weighting.
Theme lines are SMA-smoothed; the final Composite is LSMA-smoothed (linreg).
Decide direction with hysteresis.
Enter/hold long when Composite ≥ Entry Band; enter/hold short when Composite ≤ −Entry Band.
Exit bands are tighter than entry bands to avoid whipsaws.
Apply regime & direction constraints.
Optional Long-only above 200MA (chart symbol) and/or Short-only below 200MA.
Global Direction control (Long / Short / Both) and Invert switch.
Size via volatility targeting.
Realized close-to-close vol is annualized (choose 9-5 or 24/7 market profile).
Target exposure = TargetVol / RealizedVol, capped by Max Long/Max Short multipliers.
Quantity is computed from equity; futures are rounded to whole contracts.
Rebalance cadence & execution.
Trades are placed on Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly rebalance bars or when the sign of exposure flips.
Optional ATR stop/TP for single-stock style risk management.
Inputs you’ll actually tweak
General
Signal Timeframe: Where macro is sampled (e.g., D/W).
Rebalance Frequency: Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly.
ROC & SMA lengths: Defaults for theme momentum and the 200D regime filter.
Normalization: Z-score (tanh) on/off.
Winsorization
Toggle, lookback, multiplier, MAD vs Stdev.
Risk / Sizing
Target Annualized Vol & Realized Vol Lookback.
Direction (Long/Short/Both) and Invert.
Max long/short exposure caps.
Advanced Thresholds
Theme/Composite smoothing lengths.
Entry/Exit bands (hysteresis).
Regime / Execution
Long-only above 200MA, Short-only below 200MA.
Stops/TP (optional)
ATR length and SL/TP multiples.
Theme Weights
Per-theme scalars so you can push/pull emphasis (e.g., overweight Policy during rate cycles).
Macro Proxies
Symbols for each theme (XLI, XLU, HG1!, GC1!, DXY, US10Y, US02Y, VIX, HYG, IEF). Swap to alternatives as needed (e.g., UUP for DXY).
Signals & logic (under the hood)
Business Cycle = ½ ROC(XLI/XLU) + ½ ROC(Copper/Gold), then confirmed by (price > 200SMA ? +1 : −1).
Trade / USD = −ROC(DXY).
Monetary Policy = 0.6·ROC(10Y–2Y) − 0.4·ROC(10Y).
Risk Sentiment = −0.6·ROC(VIX) + 0.4·ROC(HYG/IEF).
Each theme → (optional Winsor) → (robust z or scaled ROC) → tanh → SMA smoothing.
Composite = weighted average → LSMA smoothing → compare to bands → dir ∈ {−1,0,+1}.
Rebalance & flips. Orders fire on your chosen cadence or when the sign of exposure changes.
Position size. exposure = clamp(TargetVol / realizedVol, maxLong/Short) × dir.
Note: The script also exposes Gross Exposure (% equity) and Signed Exposure (× equity) as diagnostics. These can help you audit how vol-targeting and caps translate into sizing over time.
Visuals & alerts
Composite line + columns (color/intensity reflect direction & strength).
Entry/Exit bands with green/red fills for quick polarity reads.
Hidden plots for each Theme if you want to show them.
Optional rebalance labels (direction, gross & signed exposure, σ).
Background heatmap keyed to Composite.
Alerts
Enter/Inc LONG when Composite crosses up (and on rebalance bars).
Enter/Inc SHORT when Composite crosses down (and on rebalance bars).
Exit to FLAT when Composite returns toward neutral (and on rebalance bars).
Practical tips
Start higher timeframes. Daily signals with Monthly rebalance are a good baseline; weekly signals with quarterly rebalances are even cleaner.
Tune Entry/Exit bands before anything else. Wider bands = fewer trades and less noise.
Weights reflect regime. If policy dominates markets, raise Monetary Policy weight; if credit stress drives moves, raise Risk Sentiment.
Proxies are swappable. Use UUP for USD, or futures-continuous symbols that match your data plan.
Futures vs ETFs. Quantity auto-rounds for futures; ETFs accept fractional shares. Check contract multipliers when interpreting exposure.
Caveats
Macro proxies can repaint at the selected signal timeframe as higher-TF bars form; that’s intentional for macro sampling, but test live.
Vol targeting assumes reasonably stationary realized vol over the lookback; if markets regime-shift, revisit volLook and targetVol.
If you disable normalization/winsorization, themes can become spikier; expect more hysteresis band crossings.
What to change first (quick start)
Set Signal Timeframe = D, Rebalance = Monthly, Z-score on, Winsor on (MAD).
Entry/Exit bands: 0.25 / 0.12 (defaults), then nudge until trade count and turnover feel right.
TargetVol: try 10% for diversified indices; lower for single stocks, higher for vol-sell strategies.
Leave weights = 1.0 until you’ve inspected the four theme lines; then tilt deliberately.
Intraday Rising & Reversal ScannerPine Script Description: Intraday Rising & Reversal ScannerThis Pine Script is a TradingView indicator designed to identify stocks with intraday (1-hour timeframe) potential for bullish (rising) or bearish (reversal) movements. It scans for stocks based on user-defined technical criteria, including price change, relative volume, RSI, EMA, ATR, and VWAP. The script plots signals on the chart, displays a summary table, and triggers alerts when conditions are met.FeaturesBullish Signal (Rising Stocks):1H Price Change: > 1% (configurable, e.g., >2% for volatile markets).
Relative Volume: > 2.0 (volume is at least twice the 20-period average).
RSI (14): Between 50 and 70 (strong but not overbought momentum).
Price vs EMA 13: Price above the 13-period EMA (confirms short-term uptrend).
ATR (14): Current ATR above its 20-period average (indicates volatility).
VWAP: Price above VWAP (optional, shown on chart for manual confirmation).
Bearish Signal (Reversal Stocks):1H Price Change: < -1% (configurable, e.g., <-2% for stronger reversals).
Relative Volume: > 2.0 (high volume confirms selling pressure).
RSI (14): > 70 (overbought, increasing reversal likelihood).
Price vs EMA 13: Price below the 13-period EMA (confirms short-term downtrend).
ATR (14): Current ATR above its 20-period average (indicates volatility).
VWAP: Price below VWAP (optional, shown on chart for manual confirmation).
Visualization:Bullish Signal: Green triangle below the bar.
Bearish Signal: Red triangle above the bar.
VWAP: Plotted as a blue line for manual verification.
Table: Displays real-time metrics (Change %, Relative Volume, RSI, Price vs EMA, ATR, VWAP) in the top-right corner, color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Alerts:Separate alerts for bullish ("Intraday Bullish Signal") and bearish ("Intraday Bearish Signal") conditions.
Customizable alert messages include parameter values for easy tracking.
How It WorksThe script runs on the 1-hour (1H) timeframe, ensuring all calculations are based on hourly data.
Indicators are computed:Change %: Percentage price change over the last hour.
Relative Volume: Current volume divided by the 20-period SMA of volume.
RSI: 14-period Relative Strength Index.
EMA 13: 13-period Exponential Moving Average.
ATR: 14-period Average True Range, compared to its 20-period SMA.
VWAP: Volume Weighted Average Price, plotted for visual confirmation.
Signals are generated when all conditions for either bullish or bearish criteria are met.
A table summarizes key metrics, and alerts can be set up for real-time notifications.
Usage InstructionsApply the Script:Open TradingView’s Pine Editor.
Copy and paste the script.
Click "Add to Chart" and set the chart to the 1-hour (1H) timeframe.
Set Up Alerts:Right-click on the chart > "Add Alert".
Select "Intraday Bullish Signal" or "Intraday Bearish Signal" as the condition.
Configure notifications (e.g., SMS, email, or TradingView alerts).
Manual VWAP Check:VWAP is plotted as a blue line. Verify that the price is above VWAP for bullish signals or below for bearish signals using the table or chart.
To make VWAP a mandatory filter, uncomment the VWAP conditions in the bull_signal and bear_signal definitions.
CMC Macro Regime PanelOverview (what it is):
A macro‑regime gate built entirely from TradingView-native symbols (CRYPTOCAP, FRED, DXY/VIX, HYG/LQD). It aggregates central‑bank liquidity (Fed balance sheet − RRP − Treasury General Account), USD strength, credit conditions, stablecoin flows/dominance, tech beta and BTC–NDX co‑move into one normalized score (CLRC). The panel outputs Risk‑ON/OFF regimes, an Early 3/5 pre‑signal, and an automatic BTC vs ETH vs ALTs preference. It is intentionally scoped to Daily & Weekly reads (no intraday timing). Publish with a clean chart and a clear description as per TradingView rules.

Why we also use other TradingView screens (and why that is compliant)
This script pulls data via request.security() from official TV symbols only; users often want to open the raw series on separate charts to sanity‑check:
CRYPTOCAP indices: TOTAL, TOTAL2, TOTAL3 (market cap aggregates) and dominance tickers like BTC.D, USDT.D. Helpful for regime & rotation (ALTs vs BTC). TradingView provides definitions for crypto market cap and dominance symbols.

What you see on the chart
White line (CLRC) = macro regime score.
Background: Green = Risk‑ON, Red = Risk‑OFF, Teal = Early 3/5 (pre‑signal).
Table: shows each component’s z‑score and the Preference: BTC / ETH / ALTs / Mixed.
Signals & interpretation
Designed for Daily (1D) and Weekly (1W) only.
Regime gates (default Fast preset):
Enter ON: CLRC ≥ +0.8; Hold ON while ≥ +0.5.
Enter OFF: CLRC ≤ −1.0; Hold OFF while ≤ −0.5.
0 / ±1 reading: CLRC is a standardized composite.
~0 = neutral baseline (no macro edge).
≥ +1 = strong macro tailwind (≈ +1σ).
≤ −1 = strong headwind (≈ −1σ).
Early 3/5 (teal): a fast pre‑signal when at least 3 of 5 daily checks align: USDT.D↓, DXY↓, VIX↓, HYG/LQD↑, ETHBTC↑ or TOTAL3↑. It often precedes a full ON flip—use for pre‑positioning rather than full sizing.
BTC/ETH/ALTs selector (only when ON):
ALTs when BTC.D↓ and (ETHBTC↑ or TOTAL3↑) ⇒ rotate down the risk curve.
BTC when BTC.D↑ and ETHBTC↓ ⇒ keep it concentrated.
ETH when ETHBTC↑ while BTC.D flat/up ⇒ add ETH beta.
(Dominance mechanics are documented by TV.)
TradingView
Dissonance (incompatibility) rules — when to stand down
Use these overrides to avoid false comfort:
CLRC > +1 but USDT.D↑ and/or VIX spikes day‑over‑day → downgrade to Neutral; wait for USDT.D to stabilize and VIX to cool (VIX is a fear gauge of 30‑day expectation).
Cboe Global Markets
CLRC > +1 but DXY↑ sharply (USD squeeze) → size below normal; require DXY momentum to roll over.
CLRC < −1 but Early 3/5 = true two days in a row → start reducing underweights; look for ON flip within a few bars.
NetLiq improving (W) but credit (HYG/LQD) deteriorating (D) → treat as mixed regime; prefer BTC over ALTs.
How to use (step‑by‑step)
A. Read on Daily (1D) — main regime
Open CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL3, 1D (panel applied).
Wait for bar close (use alerts on confirmed bar). Pine docs recommend barstate.isconfirmed to avoid repainting on realtime bars.
TradingView
If ON, check Preference (BTC / ETH / ALTs).
Then drop to 4H on your trading pair for micro entries (this indicator itself is not for intraday timing).
B. Confirm weekly macro (1W) — once per week)
Review WALCL/RRP/TGA after the H.4.1 release on Thursdays ~4:30 pm ET. WALCL is “Weekly, as of Wednesday”; M2 is Monthly—so do not expect daily responsiveness from these.

Recommended check times (practical schedule)
Daily regime read: right after your chart’s daily close (confirmed bar). For consistent timing across crypto, many users set chart timezone to UTC and read ~00:05 UTC; you can change chart timezone in TV’s settings.
TradingView
In‑day monitoring: optional spot checks 16:00 & 20:00 UTC (DXY/VIX move during US hours), but act only after the daily bar confirms.
Weekly macro pass: Thu 21:30–22:30 UTC (after H.4.1 4:30 pm ET) or Fri after daily close, to let weekly FRED series propagate.
Federal Reserve
Limitations & data latency (be explicit)
Higher‑TF data & confirmation: FRED weekly/monthly series will not reflect intraday risk in crypto; we aggregate them for regime, not for entry timing.
Repainting 101: Realtime bars move until close. This script does not use lookahead and follows Pine guidance on multi‑TF series; still, always act on confirmed bars.

Public‑library compliance: Title EN‑only; description starts in EN; clean chart; justify component mash‑up; no lookahead; no unrealistic claims.

Alerts you can use
“Macro Risk‑ON (entry)” — fires on ON flip (confirmed bar).
“Macro Risk‑OFF (entry)” — fires on OFF flip.
“Early 3/5” — fires when the teal pre‑signal appears (not a regime flip).
“Preference change” — BTC/ETH/ALTs toggles while ON.
Publish note: Alerts are fine; just avoid implying guaranteed accuracy/performance.
TradingView
Background research (why these inputs matter)
Liquidity → Crypto: Fed H.4.1 timing and series definitions (WALCL, RRP, TGA) formalize the “net liquidity” concept used here.

Stablecoins ↔ Non‑stable crypto: empirical work shows bi‑directional causality between stablecoin market cap and non‑stable crypto cap; stablecoin growth co‑moves with broader crypto activity.
Global liquidity link: world liquidity positively relates to total crypto market cap; lagged effects are observed at monthly horizons.
VIX/Uncertainty effect: fear shocks impair BTC’s “safe haven” behavior; VIX is a meaningful risk‑off read.
BOCS AdaptiveBOCS Adaptive Strategy - Automated Volatility Breakout System
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated trading strategy that detects consolidation patterns through volatility analysis and executes trades when price breaks out of these channels. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are calculated dynamically using Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to current market volatility. The strategy closes positions partially at the first profit target and exits the remainder at the second target or stop loss.
TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
Price Normalization Process:
The strategy begins by normalizing price to create a consistent measurement scale. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). The current close price is then normalized using the formula: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low). This produces values between 0 and 1, allowing volatility analysis to work consistently across different instruments and price levels.
Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series. Standard deviation measures how much prices deviate from their average - higher values indicate volatility expansion, lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() functions to track when volatility reaches peaks and troughs over the detection length period (default 14 bars).
Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level, this signals the beginning of a consolidation phase. The strategy records this moment using ta.crossover(upper, lower) and begins tracking the highest and lowest prices during the consolidation. These become the channel boundaries. The duration between the crossover and current bar must exceed 10 bars minimum to avoid false channels from brief volatility spikes. Channels are drawn using box objects with the recorded high/low boundaries.
Breakout Signal Generation:
Two detection modes are available:
Strong Closes Mode (default): Breakout occurs when the candle body midpoint math.avg(close, open) exceeds the channel boundary. This filters out wick-only breaks.
Any Touch Mode: Breakout occurs when the close price exceeds the boundary.
When price closes above the upper channel boundary, a bullish breakout signal generates. When price closes below the lower boundary, a bearish breakout signal generates. The channel is then removed from the chart.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
The strategy uses request.security() to fetch ATR values from a specified timeframe, which can differ from the chart timeframe. For example, on a 5-minute chart, you can use 1-minute ATR for more responsive calculations. The ATR is calculated using ta.atr(length) with a user-defined period (default 14).
Exit levels are calculated at the moment of breakout:
Long Entry Price = Upper channel boundary
Long TP1 = Entry + (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Long TP2 = Entry + (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Long SL = Entry - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
For short trades, the calculation inverts:
Short Entry Price = Lower channel boundary
Short TP1 = Entry - (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Short TP2 = Entry - (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Short SL = Entry + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
Trade Execution Logic:
When a breakout occurs, the strategy checks if trading hours filter is satisfied (if enabled) and if position size equals zero (no existing position). If volume confirmation is enabled, it also verifies that current volume exceeds 1.2 times the 20-period simple moving average.
If all conditions are met:
strategy.entry() opens a position using the user-defined number of contracts
strategy.exit() immediately places a stop loss order
The code monitors price against TP1 and TP2 levels on each bar
When price reaches TP1, strategy.close() closes the specified number of contracts (e.g., if you enter with 3 contracts and set TP1 close to 1, it closes 1 contract). When price reaches TP2, it closes all remaining contracts. If stop loss is hit first, the entire position exits via the strategy.exit() order.
Volume Analysis System:
The strategy uses ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(timeframe) to fetch up volume, down volume, and volume delta from a specified timeframe. Three display modes are available:
Volume Mode: Shows total volume as bars scaled relative to the 20-period average
Comparison Mode: Shows up volume and down volume as separate bars above/below the channel midline
Delta Mode: Shows net volume delta (up volume - down volume) as bars, positive values above midline, negative below
The volume confirmation logic compares breakout bar volume to the 20-period SMA. If volume ÷ average > 1.2, the breakout is classified as "confirmed." When volume confirmation is enabled in settings, only confirmed breakouts generate trades.
INPUT PARAMETERS:
Strategy Settings:
Number of Contracts: Fixed quantity to trade per signal (1-1000)
Require Volume Confirmation: Toggle to only trade signals with volume >120% of average
TP1 Close Contracts: Exact number of contracts to close at first target (1-1000)

HOW TO USE:
For 2-Minute Scalping:
Set ATR Timeframe to "1" (1-minute), ATR Length to 12, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Enable volume confirmation and strong closes only. Use trading hours filter to avoid low-volume periods.
For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to match chart or use 5-minute, ATR Length to 14, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.5, SL Multiplier to 1.2. Volume confirmation recommended but optional.
For Hourly+ Swing Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to 15-30 minute, ATR Length to 14-21, TP1 Multiplier to 2.5, TP2 Multiplier to 4.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Volume confirmation optional, nested channels can be enabled for multiple setups.
BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
Strategy performs best during trending or volatility expansion phases
Consolidation-heavy or choppy markets produce more false signals
Shorter timeframes require wider stop loss multipliers due to noise
Commission and slippage significantly impact performance on sub-5-minute charts
Volume confirmation generally improves win rate but reduces trade frequency
ATR multipliers should be optimized for specific instrument characteristics
COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price and volume data including forex pairs, stock indices, individual stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities, and futures contracts. Requires TradingView data feed that includes volume for volume confirmation features to function.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
Stop losses execute via strategy.exit() and may not fill at exact levels during gaps or extreme volatility
request.security() on lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription
False breakouts inherent to breakout strategies cannot be completely eliminated
Performance varies significantly based on market regime (trending vs ranging)
Partial closing logic requires sufficient position size relative to TP1 close contracts setting

Opening Range IndicatorComplete Trading Guide: Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What Are Opening Ranges?
Opening ranges capture the high and low prices during the first few minutes of market open. These levels often act as key support and resistance throughout the trading day because:
Heavy volume occurs at market open as overnight orders execute
Institutional activity is concentrated during opening minutes
Price discovery happens as market participants react to overnight news
Psychological levels are established that traders watch all day
Understanding the Three Timeframes
OR5 (5-Minute Range: 9:30-9:35 AM)
Most sensitive - captures immediate market reaction
Quick signals but higher false breakout rate
Best for scalping and momentum trading
Use for early entry when conviction is high
OR15 (15-Minute Range: 9:30-9:45 AM)
Balanced approach - most popular among day traders
Moderate sensitivity with better reliability
Good for swing trades lasting several hours
Primary timeframe for most strategies
OR30 (30-Minute Range: 9:30-10:00 AM)
Most reliable but slower signals
Lower false breakout rate
Best for position trades and trend following
Use when looking for major moves
Core Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Basic Breakout
Setup:
Wait for price to break above OR15 high or below OR15 low
Enter on the breakout candle close
Stop loss: Opposite side of the range
Target: 2-3x the range size
Example:
OR15 range: $100.00 - $102.00 (Range = $2.00)
Long entry: Break above $102.00
Stop loss: $99.50 (below OR15 low)
Target: $104.00+ (2x range size)
Strategy 2: Multiple Confirmation
Setup:
Wait for OR5 break first (early signal)
Confirm with OR15 break in same direction
Enter on OR15 confirmation
Stop: Below OR30 if available, or OR15 opposite level
Why it works:
Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals and increases probability of sustained moves.
Strategy 3: Failed Breakout Reversal
Setup:
Price breaks OR15 level but fails to hold
Wait for re-entry into the range
Enter reversal trade toward opposite OR level
Stop: Recent breakout high/low
Target: Opposite side of range + extension
Key insight: Failed breakouts often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction.
Advanced Techniques
Range Quality Assessment
High-Quality Ranges (Trade these):
Range size: 0.5% - 2% of stock price
Clean boundaries (not choppy)
Volume spike during range formation
Clear rejection at range levels
Low-Quality Ranges (Avoid these):
Very narrow ranges (<0.3% of stock price)
Extremely wide ranges (>3% of stock price)
Choppy, overlapping candles
Low volume during formation
Volume Confirmation
For Breakouts:
Look for volume spike (2x+ average) on breakout
Declining volume often signals false breakout
Rising volume during range formation shows interest
Market Context Filters
Best Conditions:
Trending market days (SPY/QQQ with clear direction)
Earnings reactions or news-driven moves
High-volume stocks with good liquidity
Volatility above average (VIX considerations)
Avoid Trading When:
Extremely low volume days
Major economic announcements pending
Holidays or half-days
Choppy, sideways market conditions
Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Conservative: Risk 0.5% of account per trade
Moderate: Risk 1% of account per trade
Aggressive: Risk 2% maximum per trade
Stop Loss Placement
Inside the range: Quick exit but higher stop-out rate
Outside opposite level: More room but larger risk
ATR-based: 1.5-2x Average True Range below entry
Profit Taking
Target 1: 1x range size (take 50% off)
Target 2: 2x range size (take 25% off)
Runner: Trail remaining 25% with moving stops
Specific Entry Techniques
Breakout Entry Methods
Method 1: Immediate Entry
Enter as soon as price closes above/below range
Fastest entry but highest false signal rate
Best for strong momentum situations
Method 2: Pullback Entry
Wait for breakout, then pullback to range level
Enter when price bounces off former resistance/support
Better risk/reward but may miss some moves
Method 3: Volume Confirmation
Wait for breakout + volume spike
Enter after volume confirmation candle
Reduces false signals significantly
Multiple Timeframe Entries
Aggressive: OR5 break → immediate entry
Conservative: OR5 + OR15 + OR30 all align → enter
Balanced: OR15 break with OR30 support → enter
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Trading Poor-Quality Ranges
❌ Don't trade ranges that are too narrow or too wide
✅ Focus on clean, well-defined ranges with good volume
2. Ignoring Volume
❌ Don't chase breakouts without volume confirmation

Tape Speed Pulse (Pace + Direction) [v6 + Climax]Tape Speed Pulse (Pace + Direction)
One-liner:
A lightweight “tape pulse” that turns intraday bursts of buying/selling into an easy-to-read histogram, with surge, slowdown, and climax (exhaustion) markers for fast decision-making. Use on sec and min charts.
What it measures
Pace (RVOL): current bar volume vs the recent average (smoothed).
Direction proxy: uptick/downtick by comparing close to close .
Pulse (histogram): direction × pace, so you see who’s pushing and how fast.
Colors
- Lime = Buy surge (pace ≥ threshold & upticking)
- Red = Sell surge (pace ≥ threshold & downticking)
- Teal = Buy pressure, sub-threshold
- Orange = Sell pressure, sub-threshold
- Faded/gray = Near-neutral pace (below the Neutral Band)
Lines (toggleable)
-White = Pace (RVOL)
- Yellow = Slowdown line = a drop of X% from the last 30-bar peak pace
Background tint mirrors the current state so you can glance risk: greenish for buy pressure, reddish for sell pressure.
Signals & alerts
- BUY surge – fires when pace crosses above the surge threshold with uptick direction (optional acceleration & uptick streak filters; cooldown prevents spam).
- SELL surge – mirror logic to downside.
- Slowdown – fires when pace crosses below the yellow slowdown line while direction ≤ 0 (early fade warning).
Climax (exhaustion)
- Buy Climax: previous bar was a buy surge with a large upper wick; current bar slows (below slowdown line) and direction ≤ 0.
- Sell Climax: mirror (large lower wick → slowdown → direction ≥ 0).
- Great for trimming/tight stops or fade setups at obvious spikes.
- Create alerts via Add alert → Condition: this indicator → choose the specific alert (BUY surge, SELL surge, Slowdown, Buy Climax, Sell Climax).
How to use it (playbook)
- Longs (e.g., VWAP reclaim / micro pullback)
- Only take entries when the pulse is teal→lime (buy pressure to buy surge).
- Into prior highs/VWAP bands, take partials on lime spikes.
- If you get a Slowdown dot and bars turn orange/red, tighten or exit.
Shorts (failed reclaim / lower-high)
- Look for teal→orange→red with rising pace at a level.
- Add confidence if a Buy Climax printed right before (exhaustion).
- Risk above the spike; don’t fight true ignitions out of bases.
Simple guardrails
- Avoid new longs when the histogram is orange/red; avoid new shorts when teal/lime.
- Use with VWAP + 9/20 EMA or your levels. The pulse is confirmation, not the whole thesis.
Inputs (what they do & when to tweak)
- Pace lookback (bars) – window for average volume. Lower = faster; higher = steadier.
Too jumpy? raise it. Missing quick bursts? lower it.
- Smoothing EMA (bars) – smooths pace. Higher = calmer.
Use 4–6 during the open; 3–4 midday.
- Surge threshold (× RVOL) – how fast counts as a surge.
Too many surges? raise it. Too late? lower it slightly.
- Slowdown drop from 30-bar max (%) – how far below the recent peak pace to call a slowdown.
Higher % = later slowdown; lower % = earlier warning.
- Neutral band (× RVOL) – paces below this fade to gray.
Raise to clean up noise; lower to see subtle pressure.
- Min seconds between signals – cooldown to prevent spam.
Increase in chop; reduce if you want more pings.
- BUY/SELL: min consecutive upticks/downticks – tiny streak filter.
Raise to avoid wiggles; lower for earlier signals.
Require pace accelerating into signal – ON = avoid stall breakouts; OFF = earlier pings.
Climax options: wick % threshold & “require slowdown cross”.
Raise wick% / require cross to be stricter; lower to catch more fades.
Quick presets
- Low-float runner, 5–10s chart
- Lookback 20, Smoothing 3–4, Surge 2.2–2.8, Slowdown 35–45, Neutral 1.0–1.2, Cooldown 15–25s, Streaks 2–3, Accel ON.
- Thick large-cap, 1-min
- Lookback 20–30, Smoothing 5–7, Surge 1.5–1.9, Slowdown 25–35, Neutral 0.8–1.0, Cooldown 30–60s, Streaks 2, Accel ON.
- Open vs Midday vs Power Hour
- Open: higher Surge, more Smoothing, longer Cooldown.
- Midday: lower Surge, less Smoothing to catch subtler pushes.
- Power hour: moderate Surge; keep Slowdown on for exits.
Reading common patterns
- Ignition (likely continuation): lime spike out of a base that holds above a level while pace stays above yellow.
- Exhaustion (likely fade): lime spike late in a run with upper wick → Slowdown → orange/red. The Buy Climax diamond is your tell.
Limits / notes
This is an OHLCV-based proxy (TradingView Pine can’t read raw tape/DOM). It won’t match Bookmap/Jigsaw tick-for-tick, but it’s fast and objective.
Use with levels and a risk plan. Past performance ≠ future results. Educational only.
MAxRSI Signals [KedArc Quant]Description:
MAxRSI Indicator Marks LONG/SHORT signals from a Moving Average crossover and (optionally) confirms them with RSI. Includes repaint-safe confirmation, optional higher-timeframe (HTF) smoothing, bar coloring, and alert conditions.
Why combine MA + RSI
* The MA crossover is the primary trend signal (fast trend vs slow trend).
* RSI is a gate, not a second, separate signal. A crossover only becomes a trade signal if momentum agrees (e.g., RSI ≥ level for LONG, ≤ level for SHORT). This reduces weak crosses in ranging markets.
* The parts are integrated in one rule: *Crossover AND RSI condition (if enabled)* → plot signal/alert. No duplicated outputs or unrelated indicators.
How it works (logic)
* MA types: SMA / EMA / WMA / HMA (HMA is built via WMA of `len/2` and `len`, then WMA with `sqrt(len)`).
* Signals:
* LONG when *Fast MA crosses above Slow MA* and (if enabled) *RSI ≥ Long Min*.
* SHORT when *Fast MA crosses below Slow MA* and (if enabled) *RSI ≤ Short Max*.
* Repaint-safe (optional): confirms crosses on closed bars to avoid intrabar repaint.
* HTF (optional): computes MA/RSI on a higher timeframe to smooth noise on lower charts.
* Alerts: crossover alerts + state-flip (bull↔bear) alerts.
How to use (step-by-step)
1. Add to chart. Set MA Type, Fast and Slow (keep Fast < Slow).
2. Turn Use RSI Filter ON for confirmation (default: RSI 14 with 50/50 levels).
3. (Optional) Turn Repaint-Safe ON for close-confirmed signals.
4. (Optional) Turn HTF ON (e.g., 60 = 1h) for smoother signals on low TFs.
5. Enable alerts: pick “MAxRSI Long/Short” or “Bullish/Bearish State”.
Timeframe guidance
* Intraday (1–15m): EMA 9–20 fast vs EMA 50 slow, RSI filter at 50/50.
* Swing (1h–D): EMA 20 fast vs EMA 200 slow, RSI 50/50 (55/45 for stricter).
What makes it original
* Repaint-safe cross confirmation (previous-bar check) for reliable signals/alerts.
* HTF gating (doesn’t compute both branches) for speed and clarity.
* Warning-free MA helper (precomputes SMA/EMA/WMA/HMA each bar), HMA built from built-ins only.
* State-flip alerts and optional RSI overlay on price pane.
Built-ins used
`ta.sma`, `ta.ema`, `ta.wma`, (HMA built from these), `ta.rsi`, `ta.crossover`, `ta.crossunder`, `request.security`, `plot`, `plotshape`, `barcolor`, `alertcondition`, `input.*`, `math.*`.

RSI ADX Bollinger Analysis High-level purpose and design philosophy
This indicator — RSI-ADX-Bollinger Analysis — is a compact, educational market-analysis toolkit that blends momentum (RSI), trend strength (ADX), volatility structure (Bollinger Bands) and simple volumetrics to provide traders a snapshot of market condition and trade idea quality. The design philosophy is explicit and layered: use each component to answer a different question about price action (momentum, conviction, volatility, participation), then combine answers to form a more robust, explainable signal. The mashup is intended for analysis and learning, not automatic execution: it surfaces the why behind signals so traders can test, learn and apply rules with risk management.
________________________________________
What each indicator contributes (component-by-component)
RSI (Relative Strength Index) — role and behavior: RSI measures short-term momentum by comparing recent gains to recent losses. A high RSI (near or above the overbought threshold) indicates strong recent buying pressure and potential exhaustion if price is extended. A low RSI (near or below the oversold threshold) indicates strong recent selling pressure and potential exhaustion or a value area for mean-reversion. In this dashboard RSI is used as the primary momentum trigger: it helps identify whether price is locally over-extended on the buy or sell side.
ADX (Average Directional Index) — role and behavior: ADX measures trend strength independently of direction. When ADX rises above a chosen threshold (e.g., 25), it signals that the market is trending with conviction; ADX below the threshold suggests range or weak trend. Because patterns and momentum signals perform differently in trending vs. ranging markets, ADX is used here as a filter: only when ADX indicates sufficient directional strength does the system treat RSI+BB breakouts as meaningful trade candidates.
Bollinger Bands — role and behavior: Bollinger Bands (20-period basis ± N standard deviations) show volatility envelope and relative price position vs. a volatility-adjusted mean. Price outside the upper band suggests pronounced extension relative to recent volatility; price outside the lower band suggests extended weakness. A band expansion (increasing width) signals volatility breakout potential; contraction signals range-bound conditions and potential squeeze. In this dashboard, Bollinger Bands provide the volatility/structural context: RSI extremes plus price beyond the band imply a stronger, volatility-backed move.
Volume split & basic MA trend — role and behavior: Buy-like and sell-like volume (simple heuristic using close>open or closeopen) or sell-like (close1.2 for validation and compare win rate and expectancy.
4. TF alignment: Accept signals only when higher timeframe (e.g., 4h) trend agrees — compare results.
5. Parameter sensitivity: Vary RSI threshold (70/30 vs 80/20), Bollinger stddev (2 vs 2.5), and ADX threshold (25 vs 30) and measure stability of results.
These exercises teach both statistical thinking and the specific failure modes of the mashup.
________________________________________
Limitations, failure modes and caveats (explicit & teachable)
• ADX and Bollinger measures lag during fast-moving news events — signals can be late or wrong during earnings, macro shocks, or illiquid sessions.
• Volume classification by open/close is a heuristic; it does not equal TAPEDATA, footprint or signed volume. Use it as supportive evidence, not definitive proof.
• RSI can remain overbought or oversold for extended stretches in persistent trends — relying solely on RSI extremes without ADX or BB context invites large drawdowns.
• Small-cap or low-liquidity instruments yield noisy band behavior and unreliable volume ratios.
Being explicit about these limitations is a strong point in a TradingView description — it demonstrates transparency and educational intent.
________________________________________
Originality & mashup justification (text you can paste)
This script intentionally combines classical momentum (RSI), volatility envelope (Bollinger Bands) and trend-strength (ADX) because each indicator answers a different and complementary question: RSI answers is price locally extreme?, Bollinger answers is price outside normal volatility?, and ADX answers is the market moving with conviction?. Volume participation then acts as a practical check for real market involvement. This combination is not a simple “indicator mashup”; it is a designed ensemble where each element reduces the others’ failure modes and together produce a teachable, testable signal framework. The script’s purpose is educational and analytical — to show traders how to interpret the interplay of momentum, volatility, and trend strength.

📊 TRADING STRATEGIES
Signal Recognition:
Cyan Line: Bullish trend with positive derivative
Pink Line: Bearish trend with negative derivative
Color Change: Trend reversal with polynomial confirmation
1. Trend Following Strategy
Enter when price crosses above cyan filter
Exit when filter turns pink
Use filter as dynamic stop loss
Best in trending markets
2. Mean Reversion Strategy
Enter long when price touches filter from below in uptrend
Enter short when price touches filter from above in downtrend
Exit at opposite band or filter color change
Excellent for range-bound markets
3. Derivative Strategy (Advanced)
The SG filter preserves derivative information
Acceleration = second derivative > 0
Enter on positive first derivative + positive acceleration
Exit on negative second derivative (momentum slowing)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Strengths:
Outlier Immunity: Ignores stop hunts and flash crashes
Feature Preservation: Catches tops/bottoms better than MAs
Smooth Output: Reduces whipsaws significantly
Scientific Basis: Not curve-fitted or optimized to markets
Considerations:

Artharjan ADXArtharjan ADX (AADX) by Rrahul Desai @Artharjan
📌 Overview
The Artharjan ADX (AADX) is an advanced implementation of the Average Directional Index (ADX) with customizable moving averages, momentum thresholds, and visually intuitive grading of bullish and bearish strength.
Unlike the standard ADX indicator that only shows trend strength, AADX adds graded bullish/bearish conditions, alerts, smoothed DI signals, histogram visualizations, and background color fills to help traders quickly interpret market conditions.
It is designed for traders who want early detection of trend strength, clean visual cues, and automated alert triggers for both bullish and bearish momentum setups.
⚙️ Key Features
🔹 Customizable Calculations
DI Length (default 13) – controls sensitivity of directional indicators.
+/- DI Smoothing – smooths DI signals with user-selected MA.
Multiple Moving Average Types – SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, ALMA, Hull, SWMA, SMMA, TMA.
ADX Smoothing – define how smooth/fast the ADX reacts.
🔹 Flexible Display
Toggle between line plots or histogram view.
Adjustable plot thickness.
Option to plot averages of ADX, +DI, -DI for confirmation.
Configurable background fills:
ADX above/below momentum threshold.
ADX rising/falling color shading.
Trend-grade based color intensity.
🔹 Momentum & Thresholds
Momentum Level (default 25) → defines “strong trend” zone.
Crossover Threshold (default 15) → helps detect early DI crossovers.
Color-coded histogram bars for +DI vs -DI difference:
Above/below zero.
Rising/falling momentum.
🔹 Bullish & Bearish Grading System
The indicator assigns grades from 1 to 5 for both bullish and bearish setups, based on DI and ADX conditions:
Bullish Grades
Grade 1 → Very Weak Bullish
Grade 2 → Weak Bullish
Grade 3 → Moderate Bullish
Grade 4 → Strong Bullish
Grade 5 → Very Strong Bullish
Bearish Grades
Grade 1 → Very Weak Bearish
Grade 2 → Weak Bearish
Grade 3 → Moderate Bearish
Grade 4 → Strong Bearish
Grade 5 → Very Strong Bearish
Labels are automatically plotted above bars to indicate the active grade.
🔹 Alerts
Bullish Alert → when +DI crosses above its average below the threshold OR bullish conditions are met.
Bearish Alert → when -DI crosses above its average below the threshold OR bearish conditions are met.
These alerts make it possible to automate trading signals for scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
📊 Use Cases
Trend Strength Measurement
Spot when markets shift from range-bound to trending.
Confirm the reliability of breakouts with strong ADX readings.
Bullish vs Bearish Control
Compare +DI vs -DI strength to gauge trend direction.
Identify trend reversals early with DI slope changes.
Momentum Confirmation
Use ADX rising + DI grades to validate trade entries.
Filter false breakouts with weak ADX.
Trade Grading System
Enter aggressively on Grade 4–5 signals.
Stay cautious on Grade 1–2 signals.
Automated Alerts & Screening
Combine AADX alerts with strategy rules.
Build scanners to highlight strong ADX setups across multiple stocks.
🎯 Trader’s Advantage
More powerful than standard ADX → Adds slope, grading, alerts, and visualization.
Adaptable to any style → Works for intraday scalping, swing trading, and positional analysis.
Visual clarity → Color fills, histograms, and labels simplify decision-making.
Customizable smoothing → Adjusts to fast or slow markets.
✅ Closing Note
The Artharjan ADX (AADX) transforms the traditional ADX into a complete trend and momentum analyzer. It helps traders detect, confirm, and act on directional strength with clarity and confidence.
With Thanks,

RS Alpha by The Noiseless TraderRS Alpha by The Noiseless Trader plots a clean, benchmark‑relative strength line for any symbol and (optionally) a mean line to assess trend and momentum in relative performance. It’s designed for uncluttered, professional RS analysis and works across any timeframe.
Compare any symbol vs a benchmark (default: NSE:NIFTY).
Optional log‑normalized RS for return‑aware comparisons.
Optional RS Mean with trend coloring (rising/falling).
Optional RS Trend zero‑line coloring based on short‑range slope.
Lightweight alerts for rising/falling RS mean.
Tip: Use RS to identify leaders (RS > 0 with rising mean) and laggards (RS < 0 with falling mean), then align setups with your price action rules.
Reading the indicator
Leadership: RS > 0 and RS Mean rising → outperformance vs benchmark.
Weakness: RS < 0 and RS Mean falling → underperformance vs benchmark.
Inflections: Watch RS crossing above/below its Mean for early shifts.
Zero‑line context: With RS Trend on, the zero line subtly reflects short‑term slope (green for positive, maroon for negative).
Alerts
Rising Strength – RS Mean turning/remaining upward.
Declining Strength – RS Mean turning/remaining downward.
(Use these as context; execute entries on your price‑action rules.)
Best practices
Pair RS with your trend/structure rules (e.g., higher highs + RS leadership).
For sectors/baskets, keep the Comparative Symbol consistent to rank peers.
Log‑normalized RS helps when comparing assets with very different volatilities or large base effects.
Test multiple length and Mean settings; 60 is a balanced default for swing/positional work.

Elliott Wave Rule EngineWhat this tool does
The indicator scans price for two concurrent swing structures—a Small (shorter-degree) and a Large (higher-degree) set—then applies an Elliott/NeoWave rule engine to the most recent 5-swing motive (1-2-3-4-5) or 3-swing corrective (A-B-C). It produces:
Blue lines for Small swings and Orange lines for Large swings.
A rule dashboard (optional) showing PASS/FAIL/WARN for core rules & guidelines.
Buy/Sell labels when (a) a valid motive completes and (b) loop “consensus,” alignment, and scoring gates are satisfied.
Reading the chart
Small swings: thin blue segments, built from your Small settings.
Large swings: thicker orange segments, from your Large settings.
Background tint: faint green when a motive (impulse/diagonal) is valid right now on Small.
Labels (if enabled):
“1…5” or “A-B-C” markers on the latest detected structure.
Buy/Sell label at the last pivot when all gates pass; text may include a score %.
How it works
For both Small and Large degrees the script:
- Loops over all (left, right) combinations you specify (e.g., Small Left = 3..6, Right = 0..0) and calls ta.pivothigh/low.
- Aggregates the results:
- Keeps the most extreme pivot found in the loop (highest high or lowest low) that’s newer than the last accepted swing.
- Gates acceptance by minimum % change versus the last opposite swing (inside the loop) and a post-aggregation filter (Small Minimum swing %, Large Minimum swing %).
- Merges back-to-back same-type swings (HH or LL) by keeping only the more extreme one.
- Keeps only the last N=lookbackWaves swings (default 100).
- Consensus (used for signals) comes from the loop counts:
- sBuyConsensus = small L-count / total-combos (bullish bias)
- sSellConsensus = small H-count / total-combos (bearish bias)
(and the same for Large). This is a data-driven “how many combos agreed” measure.
2) Rule engine (Impulse/Diagonal vs. Corrective)
When there are at least 6 Small swings, the engine tests 1-2-3-4-5:
Hard rules (must pass for an Impulse):
- Wave-2 not > 100% of Wave-1 (no retrace beyond start of W1).
- Wave-3 not the shortest among 1,3,5.
- Wave-4 doesn’t overlap Wave-1 (if it does, structure may be a Diagonal).
- Diagonal eligibility: Rules 1 & 2 pass but Rule 3 fails ⇒ eligible as a Diagonal (
Guidelines (7 checks, count toward a threshold you set):
- W2 retraces a Fib level (within ±fibTol).
- W4 retraces a Fib level (within ±fibTol).
- W3 strongest momentum (speed = |Δprice| / bars).
- Alternation: W2 vs W4 have meaningfully different “sharpness” (price per bar), threshold altSlopeThr.
- Proportion (Price): |W1| and |W3| within propTolP× each other.
- Proportion (Time): W1W3 and W2W4 durations within propTolT×.
- W5 weaker than W3 (momentum divergence proxy).
A Motive is valid if:
- Impulse: all 3 hard rules pass and guideline passes ≥ Min guideline passes.
- Diagonal: diagonal-eligible and guideline passes ≥ Min guideline passes.
- if motive fails, the engine still evaluates ABC as Zigzag and Flat to populate the table:
- Zigzag: B shallower than ~0.618A; C ≈ A or 1.618A (±fibTol).
- Flat: B ≥ ~0.9A; expanded flat if B > 1.0A and C in *A; “running” note if C < A.
3) Signal logic (consensus-gated & scored)
Signals fire only on new Small pivots and only if a Small motive just validated:Direction comes from the motive’s W1 (up = bull, down = bear).
Consensus checks (from the loop):
Use Sell consensus if the last pivot is a High, or Buy consensus if it’s a Low.Require it ≥ Min SMALL loop consensus and ahead of the opposite side by at least Min consensus margin.If you also require Large quality: check the corresponding Large consensus ≥ Min LARGE loop consensus.
Alignment: If Require small/large directional alignment is ON, Small and Large directions must match (or the Large motive must be complete).
Score:
- If Large not required: finalScore = smallConsensus × smallQuality.
- If Large required: finalScore = smallConsensus × smallQuality × largeQuality.
- Need finalScore ≥ Min final score.
When all gates pass, you’ll see “Buy xx%” or “Sell xx%” at the pivot.
Inputs (explained):
- Smaller Wave Swing Detection (Looped)
- Small Left Min / Max (default 3..6): ta.pivot* left widths to scan.
- Small Right Min / Max (default 0..0): right widths to scan (0 = earliest confirmation).
- Small Minimum swing % (post-aggregation) (0.3%): filters out tiny swings after the loop.
- Larger Wave Swing Detection (Looped)
- Large Left Min / Max (100..200) and Right Min/Max (0..0): higher-degree scan (defaults are big; adjust for intraday).
- Large Minimum swing % (post-aggregation) (1.5%).
- Loop Filters (inside the loop)
- Small loop min % change (0.20%): a candidate pivot counts only if move vs. last opposite Small swing ≥ this.
- Large loop min % change (1.50%): same idea for Large.
Rule Engine Tolerances
- Fibonacci tolerance (±%) (0.05 = 5%): closeness to Fib levels.
-Same-degree TIME proportion max (x) (2.00×) and PRICE proportion max (x) (3.00×).
- Alternation slope ratio threshold (0.10): higher = stricter alternation.
- Min guideline passes (0–7) (5): threshold for motive validity.
- Signal Probability (Loop Consensus)
- Min SMALL loop consensus (0.60).
- Min LARGE loop consensus (0.50) (used only if Large validation matters).
- Min consensus margin vs opposite (0.10): e.g., 0.60 vs 0.45 fails (margin 0.15 passes).
Require LARGE 1–5 valid (or diagonal) for signal (off by default).
Min final score (0.20): gate on the composite score.
Annotate label with score % (on).
WARN (orange): guideline not met—pattern can still be valid if total passes ≥ Min guideline passes.
FAQ
Q: Why did I get a diagonal instead of an impulse?
A: Wave-4 overlapped Wave-1 (Rule 3). If Rules 1 & 2 pass and guidelines meet your minimum, it’s eligible as a Diagonal.
Q: Where do Buy/Sell labels come from?
A: Only after a valid Small motive at a new pivot, and only if consensus, alignment, and final score gates pass (per your settings).
Q: It “missed” a wave in hindsight.
A: Pivots require right bars to confirm; extremely tight settings can filter that swing; adjust Small min % or ranges.
Q: Are there repaints?
A: No, It uses standard pivot confirmation; until a pivot is confirmed, recent swings can evolve. After confirmation, lines/labels are stable.
Limitations & disclaimers
Elliott/NeoWave rules are heuristics; markets are messy. Treat outputs as structured context, not certainty.
Consensus is pattern-scan agreement, not probability of profit Not investment advice; always couple with risk management.
Options Greeks AnalyzerOptions Greeks Analyzer (Training & Learning Guide)
________________________________________
1. Introduction
Options trading is advanced compared to regular stock trading, and one of the most important aspects is Options Greeks. Greeks are mathematical values that measure how the price of an option will react to changes in various factors such as the underlying asset’s price, volatility, interest rates, and time to expiry.
This Options Greeks Analyzer tool is built using TradingView Pine Script v5. It serves as a real time training and analysis dashboard that helps learners visualize how options greeks behave, how option prices change, and how traders can make informed decisions.
📌 Educational Disclaimer:
This tool is only for training and learning purposes. It is not a financial advice tool nor to be used for live trading decisions. The data shown is theoretical Black Scholes model calculations, which may differ from actual option market prices.
________________________________________
2. How the Tool Works
The Options Greeks Analyzer is divided into different modules. Below is a step by step walkthrough:
________________________________________
Step 1: User Inputs
• Implied Volatility (IV%) — You can manually enter volatility, which is the most important factor in option pricing. Higher IV = higher option premium.
• Expiry Selection — Choose from preset durations like 7D, 14D, 30D etc. Days to expiry directly affect time decay (Theta).
• Strike Price Mode — You can select either:
o ATM (At-the-Money = Current price of stock/index)
o Custom strike (Enter your own strike price)
• Risk-Free Rate (%) — A small interest rate factor (like government bond yield) used for theoretical valuation.
• Table Customization — Choose table size, position, and whether to show price lines for easy visibility.
________________________________________
Step 2: Market Data & Volatility
• The tool takes the current market price (Spot Price) as input.
• It calculates realized volatility from historical price fluctuations (using past 30 bars/log returns).
• Implied Volatility (manual input) is then compared to realized vol:
o If IV > Historical Volatility → Market pricing is “expensive” (HIGH IV RANK).
o If IV < Historical Volatility → Market is “cheap” (LOW IV RANK).
o Otherwise, it’s MEDIUM.
📌 Why it matters?
Traders can decide whether buying or selling options is favorable. Beginners learn that timing entry with volatility is more critical than just looking at market direction.
________________________________________
Step 3: Black-Scholes Formula
The core engine uses the Black-Scholes model, a mathematical formula widely used to compute option fair prices.
It uses the following inputs:
• Current price (Spot)
• Strike Price
• Time to Expiry (T)
• Risk Free Rate (r)
• Implied Volatility (σ)
This produces:
• Call Option Price
• Put Option Price
📌 This teaches learners how premiums are derived theoretically and why the same strike can have different values depending on IV and time.
________________________________________
Step 4: Option Greeks Calculation
The tool computes the first order Greeks:
• Delta → Measures how much the option price changes when the underlying stock moves by 1 point.
(Call Delta ranges 0–1, Put Delta ranges -1 to 0).
• Gamma → Sensitivity of Delta to price change. A measure of volatility risk.
• Theta → Time decay. Shows how much value option loses as each day passes. Calls and Puts have negative Theta (decay).
• Vega → Measures how sensitive option price is to volatility changes.
• Rho → Interest rate sensitivity. Mostly minor in equity options but important for training.
📌 New traders learn how each factor impacts profits/losses. Instead of random guessing, they see mathematical impact in numbers.
________________________________________
Step 5: Dashboard & Visualization
The tool builds a professional dashboard table on the chart.
It shows categories such as:
1. Asset Info — Spot, Strike, DTE (days to expiry), IV%, IV Rank, 1-Day Trend, Moneyness (ATM/OTM/ITM).
2. Option Prices — Call, Put, Break-even levels, Time Value, Expected Move (%), Realized vs Implied Vol.
3. Greeks with Visual Progress Bars — Easily shows Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta, Rho in intuitive graphical representations.
4. Status Bar — Suggests theoretical bias like:
o HIGH IV → Favor Option Selling
o LOW IV → Favor Option Buying
o MEDIUM → Neutral observation
5. Recommendation Line — Offers training-based suggestions like “Buy Straddles”, “Sell Call Spreads”, etc. These are not signals, but scenarios to learn strategies.
________________________________________
3. How It Helps Beginners
1. Learn Greeks in Action:
Beginners often memorize formulas but never see real-time changes. This dashboard updates every bar to show how Greeks change dynamically.
2. Compare Volatilities:
Traders understand difference between historical vs implied volatility and why option premiums behave differently.
3. Understand Risk Levels:
The tool highlights when Gamma risk is high (danger for sellers) or when Theta is most favorable.
4. Training Mode for Strategies:
Helps beginners experiment by changing IV, strike, expiry and seeing how straddles, spreads, naked options would behave theoretically.
5. Prepares Before Live Trading:
Safe environment to practice option analysis without risking capital.
________________________________________
4. Educational Use Cases
• Scenario 1: Change expiry from 7D to 30D — see how Theta becomes slower for longer expiries.
• Scenario 2: Increase IV from 25% to 80% — watch how option premiums inflate, and recommendation changes from “Buy” to “Sell”.
• Scenario 3: Select OTM vs ITM strikes — check how delta moves from near 0 to near 1.
By running these scenarios, learners understand why professional traders hedge Greeks instead of directional gambling.
________________________________________
5. Disclaimer
This Options Greeks Analyzer is built strictly for educational and training purposes.
• It uses theoretical formulas (Black-Scholes) that may not match actual option market prices.
• The recommendations are for learning strategy logic only, not real-world execution signals.
• Trading in options carries significant risks and may result in capital loss.
📌 Always consult with a financial advisor before applying real strategies.
________________________________________
✅ Summary
This Options Greeks Analyzer:
• Teaches how Greeks, IV, and premiums work.
• Provides a real-time interactive dashboard for training.
• Helps beginners practice option scenarios safely.
• Is meant strictly for learning and not live trading execution.

Intrabar Volume Delta — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)Intrabar Volume Delta Grid — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)
# Short Description
Shows intrabar Up/Down volume, Delta (absolute/relative) and UpShare% in a compact grid for both real-time and historical bars. Includes an MTF (M1…D1) dashboard, contextual coloring, density controls, and alerts on Δ and UpShare%. Smart historical splitting (“History Mode”) for Crypto/Futures/FX.
---
# What it does (Quick)
* **UpVol / DownVol / Δ / UpShare%** — visualizes order-flow inside each candle.
* **Real-time** — accumulates intrabar volume live by tick-direction.
* **History Mode** — splits Up/Down on closed bars via simple or range-aware logic.
* **MTF Dashboard** — one table view across M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 (Vol, Up/Down, Δ%, Share, Trend).
* **Contextual opacity** — stronger signals appear bolder.
* **Label density** — draw every N-th bar and limit to last X bars for performance.
* **Alerts** — thresholds for |Δ|, Δ%, and UpShare%.
---
# How it works (Real-Time vs History)
* **Real-time (open bar):** volume increments into **UpVolRT** or **DownVolRT** depending on last price move (↑ goes to Up, ↓ to Down). This approximates live order-flow even when full tick history isn’t available.
* **History (closed bars):**
* **None** — no split (Up/Down = 0/0). Safest for equities/indices with unreliable tick history.
* **Approx (Close vs Open)** — all volume goes to candle direction (green → Up 100%, red → Down 100%). Fast but yields many 0/100% bars.
* **Price Action Based** — splits by Close position within High-Low range; strength = |Close−mid|/(High−Low). Above mid → more Up; below mid → more Down. Falls back to direction if High==Low.
* **Auto** — **Stocks/Index → None**, **Crypto/Futures/FX → Approx**. If you see too many 0/100 bars, switch to **Price Action Based**.
---
# Rows & Meaning
* **Volume** — total bar volume (no split).
* **UpVol / DownVol** — directional intrabar volume.
* **Delta (Δ)** — UpVol − DownVol.
* **Absolute**: raw units
* **Relative (Δ%)**: Δ / (Up+Down) × 100
* **Both**: shows both formats
* **UpShare%** — UpVol / (Up+Down) × 100. >50% bullish, <50% bearish.
* Helpful icons: ▲ (>65%), ▼ (<35%).
---
# MTF Dashboard (🔧 Enable Dashboard)
A single table with **Vol, Up, Down, Δ%, Share, Trend (🔼/🔽/⏭️)** for selected timeframes (M1…D1). Great for a fast “panorama” read of flow alignment across horizons.

# How to use (Quick Start)
1. Add the indicator to your chart (overlay=false → separate pane).
2. **History Mode**:
* Crypto/Futures/FX → keep **Auto** or switch to **Price Action Based** for richer history.
* Stocks/Index → prefer **None** or **Price Action Based** for safer splits.
3. **Label Density**: start with **Limit to last X bars = 30–150** and **Show every N-th bar = 2–4**.
4. **Contextual Coloring**: keep on to emphasize strong Δ% / Share moves.
5. **Dashboard**: enable and pick only the TFs you actually use.
6. **Alerts**: set thresholds (ideas below).
---
# Alerts (in TradingView)
Add alert → pick this indicator → choose any of:
* **Delta exceeds threshold** (|Δ| > X)
* **UpShare above threshold** (UpShare% > X)
* **UpShare below threshold** (UpShare% < X)
* **Relative Delta above +X%**
* **Relative Delta below −X%**
**Starter thresholds (tune per symbol & TF):**
* **Crypto M1/M5**: Δ% > +25…35 (bullish), Δ% < −25…−35 (bearish)
* **FX (tick volume)**: UpShare > 60–65% or < 40–35%
* **Stocks (liquid)**: set **Absolute Δ** by typical volume scale (e.g., 50k / 100k / 500k)
---
# Notes by Market Type
* **Crypto/Futures**: 24/7 and high liquidity — **Price Action Based** often gives nicer history splits than Approx.
* **Forex (FX)**: TradingView volume is typically **tick volume** (not true exchange volume). Treat Δ/Share as tick-based flow, still very useful intraday.
* **Stocks/Index**: historical tick detail can be limited. **None** or **Price Action Based** is a safer default. If you see too many 0/100% shares, switch away from Approx.
---
# “All Timeframes” accuracy
* Works on **any TF** (M1 → D1/W1).
* **Real-time accuracy** is strong for the open bar (live accumulation).
* **Historical accuracy** depends on your **History Mode** (None = safest, Approx = fastest/simplest, Price Action Based = more nuanced).
* The MTF dashboard uses `request.security` and therefore follows the same logic per TF.
---
# Trade Ideas (Use-Cases)
* **Scalping (M1–M5)**: a spike in Δ% + UpShare>65% + rising total Vol → momentum entries.
* **Intraday (M5–M30–H1)**: when multiple TFs show aligned Δ%/Share (e.g., M5 & M15 bullish), join the trend.
* **Swing (H4–D1)**: persistent Δ% > 0 and UpShare > 55–60% → structural accumulation bias.
---
# Advantages
* **True-feeling live flow** on the open bar.
* **Adaptable history** (three modes) to match data quality.
* **Clean visual layout** with guides, compact numbers, contextual opacity.
* **MTF snapshot** for quick bias read.
* **Performance controls** (last X bars, every N-th bar).
---
# Limitations & Care
* **FX uses tick volume** — interpret Δ/Share accordingly.
* **History Mode is an approximation** — confirm with trend/structure/liquidity context.
* **Illiquid symbols** can produce noisy or contradictory signals.
* **Too many labels** can slow charts → raise N, lower X, or disable guides.
---
# Best Practices (Checklist)
* Crypto/Futures: prefer **Price Action Based** for history.
* Stocks: **None** or **Price Action Based**; be cautious with **Approx**.
* FX: pair Δ% & UpShare% with session context (London/NY) and volatility.
* If labels overlap: tweak **Row Spacing** and **Text Size**.
* In the dashboard, keep only the TFs you actually act on.
* Alerts: start around **Δ% 25–35** for “punchy” moves, then refine per asset.
---
# FAQ
**1) Why do some closed bars show 0%/100% UpShare?**
You’re on **Approx** history mode. Switch to **Price Action Based** for smoother splits.
**2) Δ% looks strong but price doesn’t move — why?**
Δ% is an **order-flow** measure. Price also depends on liquidity pockets, sessions, news, higher-timeframe structure. Use confirmations.
**3) Performance slowdown — what to do?**
Lower **Limit to last X bars** (e.g., 30–100), increase **Show every N-th bar** (2–6), or disable **Draw Guide Lines**.
**4) Dashboard values don’t “match” the grid exactly?**
Dashboard is multi-TF via `request.security` and follows the history logic per TF. Differences are normal.

Tidy labels and compact numbers keep the panel readable and fast.
BTC(Sats Stacking) - CDC Action zone filterType: Indicator (Pine v6) • Category: Strategy Tools / DCA • Overlay: Yes
Overview
This indicator simulates fixed-amount Bitcoin DCA (dollar-cost averaging) and lets you apply a CDC Action Zone filter to only buy in specific market conditions. It plots EMA(12/26) lines with a shaded zone (green when fast > slow, red when slow > fast), shows buy markers on the chart when a DCA event actually executes, and displays a concise performance table.
The simulation tracks real invested capital (sum of your buys), not hypothetical equity injections, and reports PnL vs invested capital.
Key features
DCA frequency: Everyday, Every week, or Every month
CDC filter: Buy on all days, only when CDC is Green (trend-up above fast EMA), or only when Red (trend-down below fast EMA)
Execution price: Choose to buy at bar close or next bar open
Capital controls: Fixed DCA amount per event, optional max budget cap
Currency support: Portfolio currency label plus optional FX conversion (by symbol or manual rate)
Chart visuals: Buy markers on candles; EMA(12/26) lines with shaded “action zone”
Metrics table: Invested capital, buys executed, BTC accumulated, average price per BTC (quote), equity (portfolio), PnL% vs invested, and CAGR
How it works
CDC state:
Green = EMA(fast) > EMA(slow) and price ≥ EMA(fast)
Red = EMA(fast) < EMA(slow) and price < EMA(fast)
DCA trigger: Fires on new day/week/month boundaries (timeframe-agnostic).
Buy execution: When a DCA event occurs and passes the CDC filter and budget check, the script spends the fixed amount and adds the corresponding BTC at the chosen execution price.

Notes
This is an indicator, not a broker-connected strategy. It simulates buys and displays results without placing orders.
For more realistic fills, use Buy at next bar open.
If your portfolio currency differs from the symbol’s quote currency, enable Convert and supply a conversion symbol or manual rate.
EMA shading is purely visual; the filter logic uses the same EMA definitions.

Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levelsYelober – Market Internals + Key Levels is a focused intraday trading tool that helps you spot high-probability price direction by anchoring decisions to structure that matters: yesterday’s RTH High/Low, today’s pre-market High/Low, and a fast Value Area/POC from the prior session. Paired with a compact market internals dashboard (NYSE/NASDAQ UVOL vs. DVOL ratios, VOLD slopes, TICK/TICKQ momentum, and optional VIX trend), it gives you a real-time read on breadth so you can choose which direction to trade, when to enter (breaks, retests, or fades at PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC), and how to plan exits as internals confirm or deteriorate. On top of these intraday decision benefits, it also allows traders—in a very subtle but powerful way—to keep an eye on the VIX and immediately recognize significant spikes or sharp decreases that should be factored in before entering a trade, or used as a quick signal to modify an existing position. In short: clear levels for the chart, live internals for the context, and a smarter, rules-based path to execution.
# Yelober – Market Internals + Key Levels
*A TradingView indicator for session key levels + real‑time market internals (NYSE/NASDAQ TICK, UVOL/DVOL/VOLD, and VIX).*
**Script name in Pine:** `Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levels` (Pine v6)
---
## 1) What this indicator does
**Purpose:** Help intraday traders quickly find high‑probability reaction zones and read market internals momentum without switching charts. It overlays yesterday/today’s **automatic price levels** on your active chart and shows a **market breadth table** that summarizes NYSE/NASDAQ buying pressure and TICK direction, with an optional VIX trend read.
### Key features at a glance
* **Automatic Price Levels (overlay on chart)**
* Yesterday’s High/Low of Day (**yHoD**, **yLoD**)
* Extended Hours High/Low (**yEHH**, **yEHL**) across yesterday AH + today pre‑market
* Today’s Pre‑Market High/Low (**PMH**, **PML**)
* Yesterday’s **Value Area High/Low** (**VAH/VAL**) and **Point of Control (POC)** computed from a volume profile of yesterday’s **regular session**
* Smart de‑duplication:
* Shows **only the higher** of (yEHH vs PMH) and **only the lower** of (yEHL vs PML) to avoid redundant bands
* **Market Breadth Table (on‑chart table)**
* **NYSE ratio** = UVOL/DVOL (signed) with **VOLD slope** from session open
* **NASDAQ ratio** = UVOLQ/DVOLQ (signed) with **VOLDQ slope** from session open
* **TICK** and **TICKQ**: live cumulative ratio and short‑term slope
* **VIX** (optional): current value + slope over a configurable lookback/timeframe
* Color‑coded trends with sensible thresholds and optional normalization
---
## 2) How to use it (trader workflow)
1. **Mark your reaction zones**
* Watch **yHoD/yLoD**, **PMH/PML**, and **VAH/VAL/POC** for first touches, break/retest, and failure tests.
* Expect increased responsiveness when multiple levels cluster (e.g., PMH ≈ VAH ≈ daily pivot).
2. **Read the breadth panel for context**
* **NYSE/NASDAQ ratio** (>1 = more up‑volume than down‑volume; <−1 = down‑dominant). Strong green across both favors long setups; red favors short setups.
* **VOLD slopes** (NYSE & NASDAQ): positive and accelerating → broadening participation; negative → persistent pressure.
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative ratio and **slope arrows** (↗ / ↘ / →). Use the slope to gauge **near‑term thrust or fade**.
* **VIX slope**: rising VIX (red) often coincides with risk‑off; falling VIX (green) with risk‑on.
3. **Confluence = higher confidence**
* Example: Price reclaims **PMH** while **NYSE/NASDAQ ratios** print green and **TICK slopes** point ↗ — consider break‑and‑go; if VIX slope is ↘, that adds risk‑on confidence.
* Example: Price rejects **VAH** while **VOLD slopes** roll negative and VIX ↗ — consider fade/reversal.
4. **Risk management**
* Place stops just beyond key levels tested; if breadth flips, tighten or exit.
> **Timeframes:** Works best on 1–15m charts for intraday. Value Area is computed from **yesterday’s RTH**; choose a smaller calculation timeframe (e.g., 5–15m) for stable profiles.

## 3) Inputs & settings (what each option controls)
### Global Style
* **Enable all automatic price levels**: master toggle for yHoD/yLoD, yEHH/yEHL, PMH/PML, VAH/VAL/POC.
* **Line style/width**: applies to all drawn levels.
* **Label size/style** and **label color linking**: use the same color as the line or override with a global label color.
* **Maximum bars lookback**: how far the script scans to build yesterday metrics (performance‑sensitive).
### Value Area / Volume Profile
* **Enable Value Area calculations** *(on by default)*: computes yesterday’s **POC**, **VAH**, **VAL** from a simplified intraday volume profile built from yesterday’s **regular session bars**.
* **Max Volume Profile Points** *(default 50)*: lower values = faster; higher = more precise.
* **Value Area Calculation Timeframe** *(default 15)*: the security timeframe used when collecting yesterday’s highs/lows/volumes.
### Individual Level Toggles & Colors
* **yHoD / yLoD** (yesterday high/low)
* **yEHH / yEHL** (yesterday AH + today pre‑market extremes)
* **PMH / PML** (today pre‑market extremes)
* **VAH / VAL / POC** (yesterday RTH value area + point of control)
### Market Breadth Panel
* **Show NYSE / NASDAQ / VIX**: choose which series to display in the table.
* **Table Position / Size / Background Color**: UI placement and legibility.
* **Slope Averaging Periods** *(default 5)*: number of recent TICK/TICKQ ratio points used in slope calculation.
* **Candles for Rate** *(default 10)* & **Normalize Rate**: VIX slope calculation as % change between `now` and `n` candles ago; normalize divides by `n`.
* **VIX Timeframe**: optionally compute VIX on a higher TF (e.g., 15, 30, 60) for a smoother regime read.
* **Volume Normalization** (NYSE & NASDAQ): display VOLD slopes scaled to `tens/thousands/millions/10th millions` for readable magnitudes; color thresholds adapt to your choice.
---
## 4) Data sources & definitions
* **UVOL/VOLD (NYSE)** and **UVOLQ/DVOLQ/VOLDQ (NASDAQ)** via `request.security()`
* **Ratio** = `UVOL/DVOL` (signed; negative when down‑volume dominates)
* **VOLD slope** ≈ `(VOLD_now − VOLD_open) / bars_since_open`, then normalized per your setting
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative sum of prints this session with **positives vs negatives ratio**, plus a simple linear regression **slope** of the last `N` ratio values
* **VIX**: value and slope across a user‑selected timeframe and lookback
* **Sessions (EST/EDT)**
* **Regular:** 09:30–16:00
* **Pre‑Market:** 04:00–09:30
* **After Hours:** 16:00–20:00
* **Extended‑hours extremes** combine **yesterday AH** + **today PM**
> **Note:** All session checks are done with TradingView’s `time(…,"America/New_York")` context. If your broker’s RTH differs (e.g., futures), adjust expectations accordingly.
---
## 5) How the algorithms work (plain English)
### A) Key Levels
* **Yesterday’s RTH High/Low**: scans yesterday’s bars within 09:30–16:00 and records the extremes + bar indices.
* **Extended Hours**: scans yesterday AH and today PM to get **yEHH/yEHL**. Script shows **either yEHH or PMH** (whichever is **higher**) and **either yEHL or PML** (whichever is **lower**) to avoid duplicate bands stacked together.
* **Value Area & POC (RTH only)**
* Build a coarse volume profile with `Max Volume Profile Points` buckets across the price range formed by yesterday’s RTH bars.
* Distribute each bar’s volume uniformly across the buckets it spans (fast approximation to keep Pine within execution limits).
* **POC** = bucket with max volume. **VA** expands from POC outward until **70%** of cumulative volume is enclosed → yields **VAH/VAL**.
### B) Market Breadth Table
* **NYSE/NASDAQ Ratio**: signed UVOL/DVOL with basic coloring.
* **VOLD Slopes**: from session open to current, normalized to human‑readable units; colors flip green/red based on thresholds that map to your normalization setting (e.g., ±2M for NYSE, ±3.5×10M for NASDAQ).
* **TICK/TICKQ Slope**: linear regression over the last `N` ratio points → **↗ / → / ↘** with the rounded slope value.
* **VIX Slope**: % change between now and `n` candles ago (optionally divided by `n`). Red when rising beyond threshold; green when falling.
---
## 6) Recommended presets
* **Stocks (liquid, intraday)**
* Value Area **ON**, `Max Volume Points` = **40–60**, **Timeframe** = **5–15**
* Breadth: show **NYSE & NASDAQ & VIX**, `Slope periods` = **5–8**, `Candles for rate` = **10–20**, **Normalize VIX** = **ON**
* **Index futures / very high‑volume symbols**
* If you see Pine timeouts, set `Max Volume Points` = **20–40** or temporarily **disable Value Area**.
* Keep breadth panel **ON** (it’s light). Consider **VIX timeframe = 15/30** for regime clarity.
---
## 7) Tips, edge cases & performance
* **Performance:** The volume profile is capped (`maxBarsToProcess ≤ 500` and bucketed) to keep it responsive. If you experience slowdowns, reduce `Max Volume Points`, `Maximum bars lookback`, or disable Value Area.
* **Redundant lines:** The script **intentionally suppresses** PMH/PML when yEHH/yEHL are more extreme, and vice‑versa.
* **Label visibility:** Use `Label style = none` if you only want clean lines and read values from the right‑end labels.
* **Futures/RTH differences:** Value Area is from **yesterday’s RTH** only; for 24h instruments the RTH period may not reflect overnight structure.
* **Session transitions:** PMH/PML tracking stops as soon as RTH starts; values persist as static levels for the session.
---
## 8) Known limitations
* Uses public TradingView symbols: `UVOL`, `VOLD`, `UVOLQ`, `DVOLQ`, `VOLDQ`, `TICK`, `TICKQ`, `VIX`. If your data plan or region limits any symbol, the corresponding table rows may show `na`.
* The VA/POC approximation assumes uniform distribution of each bar’s volume across its high–low. That’s fast but not a tick‑level profile.
* Works best on US equities with standard NY session; alternative sessions may need code changes.
---
## 9) Troubleshooting
* **“Script is too slow / timed out”** → Lower `Max Volume Points`, lower `Maximum bars lookback`, or toggle **OFF** `Enable Value Area calculations` for that instrument.
* **Missing breadth values** → Ensure the symbols above load on your account; try reloading chart or switching timeframes once.
* **Overlapping labels** → Set `Label style = none` or reduce label size.

## 11) Quick start (TL;DR)
1. Add the indicator and **keep default settings**.
2. Trade **reactions** at yHoD/yLoD/PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC.
3. Use the **breadth table**: look for **green ratios + ↗ slopes** (risk‑on) or **red ratios + ↘ slopes** (risk‑off). Check **VIX** slope for confirmation.
4. Manage risk around levels; when breadth flips against you, tighten or exit.
