Pinescript - Common Label & Line Array Functions Library by RRBPinescript - Common Label & Line Array Functions Library by RagingRocketBull 2021 Version 1.0 This script provides a library of common array functions for arrays of label and line objects with live testing of all functions. Using this library you can easily create, update, delete, join label/line object arrays, and get/set properties of individual label/line object array items. You can find the full list of supported label/line array functions below. There are several libraries: - Common String Functions Library - Standard Array Functions Library - Common Fixed Type Array Functions Library - Common Label & Line Array Functions Library - Common Variable Type Array Functions Library Features: - 30 array functions in categories create/update/delete/join/get/set with support for both label/line objects (45+ including all implementations) - Create, Update label/line object arrays from list/array params - GET/SET properties of individual label/line array items by index - Join label/line objects/arrays into a single string for output - Supports User Input of x,y coords of 5 different types: abs/rel/rel%/inc/inc% list/array, auto transforms x,y input into list/array based on type, base and xloc, translates rel into abs bar indexes - Supports User Input of lists with shortened names of string properties, auto expands all standard string properties to their full names for use in functions - Live Output for all/selected functions based on User Input. Test any function for possible errors you may encounter before using in script. - Output filters: hide all excluded and show only allowed functions using a list of function names - Output Panel customization options: set custom style, color, text size, and line spacing Usage: - select create function - create label/line arrays from lists or arrays (optional). Doesn't affect the update functions. The only change in output should be function name regardless of the selected implementation. - specify num_objects for both label/line arrays (default is 7) - specify common anchor point settings x,y base/type for both label/line arrays and GET/SET items in Common Settings - fill lists with items to use as inputs for create label/line array functions in Create Label/Line Arrays section - specify label/line array item index and properties to SET in corresponding sections - select label/line SET function to see the changes applied live Code Structure: - translate x,y depending on x,y type, base and xloc as specified in UI (required for all functions) - expand all shortened standard property names to full names (required for create/update* from arrays and set* functions, not needed for create/update* from lists) to prevent errors in label.new and line.new - create param arrays from string lists (required for create/update* from arrays and set* functions, not needed for create/update* from lists) - create label/line array from string lists (property names are auto expanded) or param arrays (requires already expanded properties) - update entire label/line array or - get/set label/line array item properties by index Transforming/Expanding Input values: - for this script to work on any chart regardless of price/scale, all x*,y* are specified as % increase relative to x0,y0 base levels by default, but user can enter abs x,price values specific for that chart if necessary. - all lists can be empty, contain 1 or several items, have the same/different lengths. Array Length = min(min(len(list*)), mum_objects) is used to create label/line objects. Missing list items are replaced with default property values. - when a list contains only 1 item it is duplicated (label name/tooltip is also auto incremented) to match the calculated Array Length - since this script processes user input, all x,y values must be translated to abs bar indexes before passing them to functions. Your script may provide all data internally and doesn't require this step. - at first int x, float y arrays are created from user string lists, transformed as described below and returned as x,y arrays. - translated x,y arrays can then be passed to create from arrays function or can be converted back to x,y string lists for the create from lists function if necessary. - all translation logic is separated from create/update/set functions for the following reasons: - to avoid redundant code/dependency on ext functions/reduce local scopes and to be able to translate everything only once in one place - should be faster - to simplify internal logic of all functions - because your script may provide all data internally without user input and won't need the translation step - there are 5 types available for both x,y: abs, rel, rel%, inc, inc%. In addition to that, x can be: bar index or time, y is always price. - abs - absolute bar index/time from start bar0 (x) or price (y) from 0, is >= 0 - rel - relative bar index/time from cur bar n (x) or price from y0 base level, is >= 0 - rel% - relative % increase of bar index/time (x) or price (y) from corresponding base level (x0 or y0), can be <=> 0 - inc - relative increment (step) for each new level of bar index/time (x) or price (y) from corresponding base level (x0 or y0), can be <=> 0 - inc% - relative % increment (% step) for each new level of bar index/time (x) or price (y) from corresponding base level (x0 or y0), can be <=> 0 - x base level >= 0 - y base level can be 0 (empty) or open, close, high, low of cur bar - single item x1_list = "50" translates into: - for x type abs: "50, 50, 50 ..." num_objects times regardless of xloc => x = 50 - for x type rel: "50, 50, 50 ... " num_objects times => x = x_base + 50 - for x type rel%: "50%, 50%, 50% ... " num_objects times => x_base * (1 + 0.5) - for x type inc: "0, 50, 100 ... " num_objects times => x_base + 50 * i - for x type inc%: "0%, 50%, 100% ... " num_objects times => x_base * (1 + 0.5 * i) - when xloc = xloc.bar_index each rel*/inc* value in the above list is then subtracted from n: n - x to convert rel to abs bar index, values of abs type are not affected - x1_list = "0, 50, 100, ..." of type rel is the same as "50" of type inc - x1_list = "50, 50, 50, ..." of type abs/rel/rel% produces a sequence of the same values and can be shortened to just "50" - single item y1_list = "2" translates into (ragardless of yloc): - for y type abs: "2, 2, 2 ..." num_objects times => y = 2 - for y type rel: "2, 2, 2 ... " num_objects times => y = y_base + 2 - for y type rel%: "2%, 2%, 2% ... " num_objects times => y = y_base * (1 + 0.02) - for y type inc: "0, 2, 4 ... " num_objects times => y = y_base + 2 * i - for y type inc%: "0%, 2%, 4% ... " num_objects times => y = y_base * (1 + 0.02 * i) - when yloc != yloc.price all calculated values above are simply ignored - y1_list = "0, 2, 4" of type rel% is the same as "2" with type inc% - y1_list = "2, 2, 2" of type abs/rel/rel% produces a sequence of the same values and can be shortened to just "2" - you can enter shortened property names in lists. To lookup supported shortened names use corresponding dropdowns in Set Label/Line Array Item Properties sections - all shortened standard property names must be expanded to full names (required for create/update* from arrays and set* functions, not needed for create/update* from lists) to prevent errors in label.new and line.new - examples of shortened property names that can be used in lists: bar_index, large, solid, label_right, white, left, left, price - expanded to their corresponding full names: xloc.bar_index, size.large, line.style_solid, label.style_label_right, color.white, text.align_left, extend.left, yloc.price - all expanding logic is separated from create/update* from arrays and set* functions for the same reasons as above, and because param arrays already have different types, implying the use of final values. - all expanding logic is included in the create/update* from lists functions because it seemed more natural to process string lists from user input directly inside the function, since they are already strings. Creating Label/Line Objects: - use study max_lines_count and max_labels_count params to increase the max number of label/line objects to 500 (+3) if necessary. Default number of label/line objects is 50 (+3) - all functions use standard param sequence from methods in reference, except style always comes before colors. - standard label/line.get* functions only return a few properties, you can't read style, color, width etc. - label.new(na, na, "") will still create a label with x = n-301, y = NaN, text = "" because max default scope for a var is 300 bars back. - there are 2 types of color na, label color requires color(na) instead of color_na to prevent error. text_color and line_color can be color_na - for line to be visible both x1, x2 ends must be visible on screen, also when y1 == y2 => abs(x1 - x2) >= 2 bars => line is visible - xloc.bar_index line uses abs x1, x2 indexes and can only be within 0 and n ends, where n <= 5000 bars (free accounts) or 10000 bars (paid accounts) limit, can't be plotted into the future - xloc.bar_time line uses abs x1, x2 times, can't go past bar0 time but can continue past cur bar time into the future, doesn't have a length limit in bars. - xloc.bar_time line with length = exact number of bars can be plotted only within bar0 and cur bar, can't be plotted into the future reliably because of future gaps due to sessions on some charts - xloc.bar_index line can't be created on bar 0 with fixed length value because there's only 1 bar of horiz length - it can be created on cur bar using fixed length x < n <= 5000 or - created on bar0 using na and then assigned final x* values on cur bar using set_x* - created on bar0 using n - fixed_length x and then updated on cur bar using set_x*, where n <= 5000 - default orientation of lines (for style_arrow* and extend) is from left to right (from bar 50 to bar 0), it reverses when x1 and x2 are swapped - price is a function, not a line object property Variable Type Arrays: - you can't create an if/function that returns var type value/array - compiler uses strict types and doesn't allow that - however you can assign array of any type to another array of any type creating an arr pointer of invalid type that must be reassigned to a matching array type before used in any expression to prevent error - create_any_array2 uses this loophole to return an int_arr pointer of a var type array - this works for all array types defined with/without var keyword and doesn't work for string arrays defined with var keyword for some reason - you can't do this with var type vars, only var type arrays because arrays are pointers passed by reference, while vars are actual values passed by value. - you can only pass a var type value/array param to a function if all functions inside support every type - otherwise error - alternatively values of every type must be passed simultaneously and processed separately by corresponding if branches/functions supporting these particular types returning a common single type result - get_var_types solves this problem by generating a list of dummy values of every possible type including the source type, tricking the compiler into allowing a single valid branch to execute without error, while ignoring all dummy results Notes: - uses Pinescript v3 Compatibility Framework - uses Common String Functions Library, Common Fixed Type Array Functions Library, Common Variable Type Array Functions Library - has to be a separate script to reduce the number of local scopes/compiled file size, can't be merged with another library. - lets you live test all label/line array functions for errors. If you see an error - change params in UI - if you see "Loop too long" error - hide/unhide or reattach the script - if you see "Chart references too many candles" error - change x type or value between abs/rel*. This can happen on charts with 5000+ bars when a rel bar index x is passed to label.new or line.new instead of abs bar index n - x - create/update_label/line_array* use string lists, while create/update_label/line_array_from_arrays* use array params to create label/line arrays. "from_lists" is dropped to shorten the names of the most commonly used functions. - create_label/line_array2,4 are preferable, 5,6 are listed for pure demonstration purposes only - don't use them, they don't improve anything but dramatically increase local scopes/compiled file size - for this reason you would mainly be using create/update_label/line_array2,4 for list params or create/update_label/line_array_from_arrays2 for array params - all update functions are executed after each create as proof of work and can be disabled. Only create functions are required. Use update functions when necessary - when list/array params are changed by your script. - both lists and array item properties use the same x,y_type, x,y_base from common settings - doesn't use pagination, a single str contains all output - why is this so complicated? What are all these functions for? - this script merges standard label/line object methods with standard array functions to create a powerful set of label/line object array functions to simplify manipulation of these arrays. - this library also extends the functionality of Common Variable Type Array Functions Library providing support for label/line types in var type array functions (any_to_str6, join_any_array5) - creating arrays from either lists or arrays adds a level of flexibility that comes with complexity. It's very likely that in your script you'd have to deal with both string lists as input, and arrays internally, once everything is converted. - processing user input, allowing customization and targeting for any chart adds a whole new layer of complexity, all inputs must be translated and expanded before used in functions. - different function implementations can increase/reduce local scopes and compiled file size. Select a version that best suits your needs. Creating complex scripts often requires rewriting your code multiple times to fit the limits, every line matters. P.S. Don't rely too much on labels, for too often they are fables. List of functions*: * - functions from other libraries are not listed 1.

Using `varip` variables [PineCoders]█  OVERVIEW The new varip keyword in Pine can be used to declare variables that escape the rollback process, which is explained in the Pine User Manual's page on the execution model . This publication explains how Pine coders can use variables declared with varip to implement logic that was impossible to code in Pine before, such as timing events during the realtime bar, or keeping track of sequences of events that occur during successive realtime updates. We present code that allows you to calculate for how much time a given condition is true during a realtime bar, and show how this can be used to generate alerts. █  WARNINGS 1. varip is an ​advanced feature which should only be used by coders already familiar with Pine's execution model and bar states . 2. Because varip only affects the behavior of your code in the realtime bar, it follows that backtest results on strategies built using logic based on varip will be meaningless,   as varip behavior cannot be simulated on historical bars. This also entails that plots on historical bars will not be able to reproduce the script's behavior in realtime. 3. Authors publishing scripts that behave differently in realtime and on historical bars should imperatively explain this to traders. █  CONCEPTS Escaping the rollback process Whereas scripts only execute once at the close of historical bars, when a script is running in realtime, it executes every time the chart's feed detects a price or volume update. At every realtime update, Pine's runtime normally resets the values of a script's variables to their last committed value, i.e., the value they held when the previous bar closed. This is generally handy, as each realtime script execution starts from a known state, which simplifies script logic. Sometimes, however, script logic requires code to be able to save states between different executions in the realtime bar. Declaring variables with varip now makes that possible. The "ip" in varip stands for "intrabar persist". Let's look at the following code, which does not use varip : //@version=4 study("") int updateNo = na if barstate.isnew updateNo := 1 else updateNo := updateNo + 1 plot(updateNo, style = plot.style_circles) On historical bars, barstate.isnew is always true, so the plot shows a value of "1". On realtime bars, barstate.isnew is only true when the script first executes on the bar's opening. The plot will then briefly display "1" until subsequent executions occur. On the next executions during the realtime bar, the second branch of the if statement is executed because barstate.isnew is no longer true. Since `updateNo` is initialized to `na` at each execution, the `updateNo + 1` expression yields `na`, so nothing is plotted on further realtime executions of the script. If we now use varip to declare the `updateNo` variable, the script behaves very differently: //@version=4 study("") varip int updateNo = na if barstate.isnew updateNo := 1 else updateNo := updateNo + 1 plot(updateNo, style = plot.style_circles) The difference now is that `updateNo` tracks the number of realtime updates that occur on each realtime bar. This can happen because the varip declaration allows the value of `updateNo` to be preserved between realtime updates; it is no longer rolled back at each realtime execution of the script. The test on barstate.isnew allows us to reset the update count when a new realtime bar comes in. █  OUR SCRIPT Let's move on to our script. It has three parts:  — Part 1 demonstrates how to generate alerts on timed conditions.  — Part 2 calculates the average of realtime update prices using a varip array.  — Part 3 presents a function to calculate the up/down/neutral volume by looking at price and volume variations between realtime bar updates. Something we could not do in Pine before varip was to time the duration for which a condition is continuously true in the realtime bar. This was not possible because we could not save the beginning time of the first occurrence of the true condition. One use case for this is a strategy where the system modeler wants to exit before the end of the realtime bar, but only if the exit condition occurs for a specific amount of time. One can thus design a strategy running on a 1H timeframe but able to exit if the exit condition persists for 15 minutes, for example. REMINDER: Using such logic in strategies will make backtesting their complete logic impossible, and backtest results useless, as historical behavior will not match the strategy's behavior in realtime, just as using `calc_on_every_tick = true` will do. Using `calc_on_every_tick = true` is necessary, by the way, when using varip in a strategy, as you want the strategy to run like a study in realtime, i.e., executing on each price or volume update. Our script presents an `f_secondsSince(_cond, _resetCond)` function to calculate the time for which a condition is continuously true during, or even across multiple realtime bars. It only works in realtime. The abundant comments in the script hopefully provide enough information to understand the details of what it's doing. If you have questions, feel free to ask in the Comments section. Features The script's inputs allow you to:  • Specify the number of seconds the tested conditions must last before an alert is triggered (the default is 20 seconds).  • Determine if you want the duration to reset on new realtime bars.  • Require the direction of alerts (up or down) to alternate, which minimizes the number of alerts the script generates. The inputs showcase the new `tooltip` parameter, which allows additional information to be displayed for each input by hovering over the "i" icon next to it. The script only displays useful information on realtime bars. This information includes:  • The MA against which the current price is compared to determine the bull or bear conditions.  • A dash which prints on the chart when the bull or bear condition is true.  • An up or down triangle that prints when an alert is generated. The triangle will only appear on the update where the alert is triggered,   and unless that happens to be on the last execution of the realtime bar, it will not persist on the chart.  • The log of all triggered alerts to the right of the realtime bar.  • A gray square on top of the elapsed realtime bars where one or more alerts were generated. The square's tooltip displays the alert log for that bar.  • A yellow dot corresponding to the average price of all realtime bar updates, which is calculated using a varip array in "Part 2" of the script.  • Various key values in the Data Window for each parts of the script. Note that the directional volume information calculated in Part 3 of the script is not plotted on the chart—only in the Data Window. Using the script You can try running the script on an open market with a 30sec timeframe. Because the default settings reset the duration on new realtime bars and require a 20 second delay, a reasonable amount of alerts will trigger. Creating an alert on the script You can create a script alert on the script. Keep in mind that when you create an alert from this script, the duration calculated by the instance of the script running the alert will not necessarily match that of the instance running on your chart, as both started their calculations at different times. Note that we use alert.freq_all in our alert() calls, so that alerts will trigger on all instances where the associated condition is met. If your alert is being paused because it reaches the maximum of 15 triggers in 3 minutes, you can configure the script's inputs so that up/down alerts must alternate. Also keep in mind that alerts run a distinct instance of your script on different servers, so discrepancies between the behavior of scripts running on charts and alerts can occur, especially if they trigger very often. Challenges Events detected in realtime using variables declared with varip can be transient and not leave visible traces at the close of the realtime bar, as is the case with our script, which can trigger multiple alerts during the same realtime bar, when the script's inputs allow for this. In such cases, elapsed realtime bars will be of no use in detecting past realtime bar events unless dedicated code is used to save traces of events, as we do with our alert log in this script, which we display as a tooltip on elapsed realtime bars. █  NOTES Realtime updates We have no control over when realtime updates occur. A realtime bar can open, and then no realtime updates can occur until the open of the next realtime bar. The time between updates can vary considerably. Past values There is no mechanism to refer to past values of a varip variable across realtime executions in the same bar. Using the history-referencing operator will, as usual, return the variable's committed value on previous bars. If you want to preserve past values of a varip variable, they must be saved in other variables or in an array . Resetting variables Because varip variables not only preserve their values across realtime updates, but also across bars, you will typically need to plan conditions that will at some point reset their values to a known state. Testing on barstate.isnew , as we do, is a good way to achieve that. Repainting The fact that a script uses varip does not make it necessarily repainting. A script could conceivably use varip to calculate values saved when the realtime bar closes, and then use confirmed values of those calculations from the previous bar to trigger alerts or display plots, avoiding repaint. timenow resolution Although the variable is expressed in milliseconds it has an actual resolution of seconds, so it only increments in multiples of 1000 milliseconds. Warn script users When using varip to implement logic that cannot be replicated on historical bars, it's really important to explain this to traders in published script descriptions, even if you publish open-source. Remember that most TradingViewers do not know Pine. New Pine features used in this script This script uses three new Pine features:  • varip  • The `tooltip` parameter in input() .  • The new += assignment operator. See these also: -= , *= , /= and %= . Example scripts These are other scripts by PineCoders that use varip :  • Tick Delta Volume , by RicadoSantos .  • Tick Chart and Volume Info from Lower Time Frames by LonesomeTheBlue . Thanks Thanks to the PineCoders who helped improve this publication—especially to bmistiaen . Look first. Then leap.

VPA ANALYSIS VPA Analysis provide the indications for various conditions as per the Volume Spread Analysis concept. The various legends are provided below LEGEND DETAILS UT1 - Upthrust Bar: This will be widespread Bar on high Volume closing on the low. This normally happens after an up move. Here the smart money move the price to the High and then quickly brings to the Low trapping many retail trader who rushed into in order not to miss the bullish move. This is a bearish Signal UT2 -Upthrust Bar Confirmation: A widespread Down Bar following a Upthrust Bar. This confirms the weakness of the Upthrust Bar. Expect the stock to move down Confirms . This is a Bearish Signal PUT - Pseudo Upthrust: An Upthrust Bar in bar action but the volume remains average. This still indicates weakness. Indicate Possible Bearishness PUC -Pseudo Upthrust Confirmation: widespread Bar after a pseudo–Upthrust Bar confirms the weakness of the Pseudo Upthrust Bar Confirms Bearishness BC - Buying Climax: A very wide Spread bar on ultra-High Volume closing at the top. Such a Bar indicates the climatic move in an uptrend. This Bar traps many retailers as the uptrend ends and reverses quickly. Confirms Bearishness TC - Trend Change: This Indicates a possible Trend Change in an uptrend. Indicates Weakness SEC- Sell Condition: This bar indicates confluence of some bearish signals. Possible end of Uptrend and start of Downtrend soon. Bearish Signal UT - Upthrust Condition: When multiple bearish signals occur, the legend is printed in two lines. The Legend “UT” indicates that an upthrust condition is present. Bearish Signal ND - No demand in uptrend: This bar indicates that there is no demand. In an uptrend this indicates weakness. Bearish Signal ND - No Demand: This bar indicates that there is no demand. This can occur in any part of the Trend. In all place other than in an uptrend this just indicates just weakness ED - Effort to Move Down: Widespread Bar closing down on High volume or above average volume . The smart money is pushing the prices down. Bearish Signal EDF - Effort to Move Down Failed: Widespread / above average spread Bar closing up on High volume or above average volume appearing after ‘Effort to move down” bar.

(#changelog) --- # Introduction **Penny Stock Short Signal Pro (PSSP)** is a comprehensive Pine Script v6 indicator specifically engineered for identifying high-probability short-selling opportunities on low-priced, high-volatility stocks. Unlike generic indicators that apply broad technical analysis, PSSP is purpose-built for the unique characteristics of penny stock price action—where parabolic moves, retail FOMO, and violent reversals create predictable patterns for prepared traders. ## Key Features - **7 Independent Detection Systems** working in concert to identify exhaustion points - **Composite Signal Engine** that requires multiple confirmations before triggering - **Real-Time Dashboard** displaying all signal states and market metrics - **Automatic Risk Management** with dynamic stop-loss and profit target calculations - **Customizable Sensitivity** for different trading styles (scalping vs. swing) - **Built-in Alert System** for all major signal types ## Who Is This For? - **Active Day Traders** looking to capitalize on intraday reversals - **Short Sellers** who specialize in penny stocks and small caps - **Momentum Traders** who want to identify when momentum is exhausting - **Risk-Conscious Traders** who need clear entry/exit levels --- # Why Short Penny Stocks? ## The Penny Stock Lifecycle Penny stocks follow a remarkably predictable lifecycle that creates shorting opportunities: ``` PHASE 1: ACCUMULATION └── Low volume, tight range └── Smart money quietly building positions PHASE 2: MARKUP / PROMOTION └── News catalyst or promotional campaign └── Volume increases, price begins rising └── Early momentum traders enter PHASE 3: DISTRIBUTION (YOUR OPPORTUNITY) └── Parabolic move attracts retail FOMO buyers └── Smart money selling into strength └── Volume climax signals exhaustion └── ⚠️ PSSP SIGNALS FIRE HERE ⚠️ PHASE 4: DECLINE └── Support breaks, panic selling └── Price returns toward origin └── Short sellers profit ``` ## Why Shorts Work on Penny Stocks 1. **No Fundamental Support**: Most penny stocks have no earnings, revenue, or assets to justify elevated prices 2. **Promotional Nature**: Many rallies are driven by promoters who will eventually stop 3. **Retail Exhaustion**: Retail buying power is finite—when it's exhausted, gravity takes over 4. **Float Dynamics**: Low float stocks move fast in both directions 5. **Technical Levels Matter**: VWAP, round numbers, and prior highs become self-fulfilling resistance --- # The 7 Core Detection Systems PSSP employs seven independent detection algorithms. Each identifies a specific type of exhaustion or reversal signal. When multiple systems fire simultaneously, the probability of a successful short dramatically increases. --- ## 1. PARABOLIC EXHAUSTION DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies when price has moved too far, too fast and is likely to reverse. This system looks for the classic "blow-off top" pattern common in penny stock runners. ### Technical Logic ``` Parabolic Signal = TRUE when: ├── Consecutive green candles ≥ threshold (default: 3) ├── AND price extension from VWAP ≥ threshold ATRs (default: 1.5) └── OR shooting star / upper wick rejection pattern forms ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ← Shooting star / upper wick ╱ ╲ (Parabolic exhaustion) ╱ ╱ ╱ ══════════════ VWAP ╱ ╱ ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks Penny stocks are notorious for parabolic moves driven by retail FOMO. When everyone who wants to buy has bought, there's no one left to push prices higher. The shooting star pattern shows that sellers are already stepping in at higher prices. ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Lookback Period | 10 | 3-30 | Bars to analyze for pattern | | Extension Threshold | 1.5 ATR | 0.5-5.0 | How far above VWAP is "parabolic" | | Consecutive Green Bars | 3 | 2-10 | Minimum green bars for exhaustion | --- ## 2. VWAP REJECTION SYSTEM ### What It Detects Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is the single most important level for institutional traders. This system identifies when price tests above VWAP and gets rejected back below—a powerful short signal. ### Technical Logic ``` VWAP Rejection = TRUE when: ├── Candle high pierces above VWAP ├── AND candle closes below VWAP ├── AND candle is bearish (close < open) └── AND rejection distance is within sensitivity threshold ``` ### Visual Representation ``` High ──→ ╱╲ ╱ ╲ VWAP ════════╱════╲═══════════ Close ←── Rejection ``` ### Extended VWAP Signals The system also tracks VWAP standard deviation bands. Rejection from the upper band (2 standard deviations above VWAP) is an even stronger signal. ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Algorithms and institutions use VWAP as their benchmark - Failed attempts to reclaim VWAP often lead to waterfall selling - VWAP acts as a "magnet" that price tends to revert toward ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Rejection Sensitivity | 0.5 ATR | 0.1-2.0 | How close to VWAP for valid rejection | | Show VWAP Line | True | - | Display VWAP on chart | | Show VWAP Bands | True | - | Display standard deviation bands | | Band Multiplier | 2.0 | 0.5-4.0 | Standard deviations for bands | --- ## 3. VOLUME CLIMAX DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies "blow-off tops" where extreme volume accompanies a price spike. This often marks the exact top as it represents maximum retail participation—after which buying power is exhausted. ### Technical Logic ``` Volume Climax = TRUE when: ├── Current volume ≥ (Average volume × Climax Multiple) ├── AND one of: │ ├── Selling into the high (upper wick > lower wick on green bar) │ └── OR post-climax weakness (red bar following climax bar) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` Price: ╱╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ Volume: ▂▃▅▇██▇▅▃▂▁ ↑ Volume Climax (3x+ average) ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Retail traders pile in at the top, creating volume spikes - Market makers and smart money use this liquidity to exit - Once the volume spike passes, there's no fuel left for higher prices - The "smart money selling into dumb money buying" creates the top ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Volume MA Length | 20 | 5-50 | Period for average volume calculation | | Climax Volume Multiple | 3.0x | 1.5-10.0 | Multiple of average for "climax" | | Show Volume Bars | True | - | Visual volume representation | --- ## 4. RSI DIVERGENCE ANALYZER ### What It Detects Bearish divergence occurs when price makes higher highs but RSI (momentum) makes lower highs. This indicates that momentum is weakening even as price pushes higher—a warning of imminent reversal. ### Technical Logic ``` Bearish Divergence = TRUE when: ├── RSI is in overbought territory (> threshold) ├── AND RSI is declining (current < previous < prior) └── Indicates momentum exhaustion before price catches up ``` ### Visual Representation ``` Price: /\ /\ / \ / \ ← Higher high / \/ / / RSI: /\ / \ /\ / \/ \ ← Lower high (DIVERGENCE) / \ ════════════════════ Overbought (70) ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Penny stocks often push to new highs on weaker and weaker momentum - Divergence signals that fewer buyers are participating at each new high - Eventually, the lack of buying pressure leads to collapse ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | RSI Length | 14 | 5-30 | Standard RSI calculation period | | Overbought Level | 70 | 60-90 | RSI level considered overbought | | Divergence Lookback | 14 | 5-30 | Bars to look back for swing highs | --- ## 5. KEY LEVEL REJECTION TRACKER ### What It Detects Identifies rejections from significant price levels where shorts are likely to be concentrated: High of Day (HOD), premarket highs, and psychological levels (whole and half dollars). ### Technical Logic ``` Level Rejection = TRUE when: ├── Price touches key level (within 0.2% tolerance) ├── AND candle is bearish (close < open) ├── AND close is in lower portion of candle range │ ├── Key Levels Tracked: │ ├── High of Day (HOD) │ ├── Premarket High │ └── Psychological levels ($1.00, $1.50, $2.00, etc.) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` HOD ───────────────────────────────── ╱╲ ← Rejection ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ───────────────────────────────── PM High ───────────────────────────── ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - **HOD**: The high of day is where the most traders are trapped long. Failure to break HOD often triggers stop-loss cascades - **Premarket High**: Represents overnight enthusiasm; failure to exceed often means the "news" is priced in - **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers ($1, $2, $5) attract orders and act as natural resistance ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Track HOD Rejection | True | - | Monitor high of day | | Track Premarket High | True | - | Monitor premarket resistance | | Track Psychological Levels | True | - | Monitor round numbers | --- ## 6. FAILED BREAKOUT DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies "bull traps" where price breaks above resistance but immediately fails and closes back below. This traps breakout buyers and often leads to accelerated selling. ### Technical Logic ``` Failed Breakout = TRUE when: ├── Price breaks above recent high (lookback period) ├── AND one of: │ ├── Same bar closes below the breakout level │ └── OR following bars show consecutive red candles ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ╱ ╲ ← False breakout Recent High ══╱════╲════════════════ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ← Trapped longs panic sell ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Breakout traders enter on the break, providing exit liquidity for smart money - When the breakout fails, these traders become trapped and must exit - Their forced selling accelerates the decline - Penny stocks have thin order books, making failed breakouts especially violent ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Breakout Lookback | 5 | 2-15 | Bars to define "recent high" | | Confirmation Bars | 2 | 1-5 | Bars to confirm failure | --- ## 7. MOVING AVERAGE BREAKDOWN SYSTEM ### What It Detects Monitors exponential moving averages (EMAs) for bearish crossovers and price rejections. EMA crosses often signal trend changes, while rejections from EMAs indicate resistance. ### Technical Logic ``` MA Breakdown = TRUE when: ├── Bearish EMA cross (fast crosses below slow) └── OR EMA rejection (price tests EMA from below and fails) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ← Rejection from EMA ╱ ╲ EMA 9 ═══════════╱════╲═══════════ ╲ EMA 20 ═══════════════════╲════════ ╲ Bearish cross ↓ ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - EMAs smooth out the noise and show underlying trend direction - When fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, it signals momentum shift - Rejected attempts to reclaim EMAs show sellers are in control ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Fast EMA | 9 | 3-20 | Short-term trend | | Slow EMA | 20 | 10-50 | Medium-term trend | | Show EMAs | True | - | Display on chart | --- # Installation & Setup ## Step 1: Access Pine Editor 1.

**Solid blue line** = Volume Weighted Average Price - Price above VWAP = bullish bias - Price below VWAP = bearish bias - **Use**: Short when price rejects from above VWAP ### VWAP Bands (Purple circles) - Upper band = 2 standard deviations above VWAP - Lower band = 2 standard deviations below VWAP - **Use**: Extreme extension to upper band signals potential reversal ### EMAs (Orange and Red) - **Orange line** = Fast EMA (9-period default) - **Red line** = Slow EMA (20-period default) - **Use**: Bearish cross or price rejection from EMAs confirms short ### HOD Line (Red, dashed) - Shows the current day's high - **Use**: Rejection from HOD is a key short signal ### Premarket High (Orange, dashed) - Shows premarket session high - **Use**: Failure to break PM high often signals weakness ## Signal Markers ### Individual Signal Markers (Small) | Shape | Color | Signal | |-------|-------|--------| | ▼ Triangle | Purple | Parabolic Exhaustion | | ✕ X-Cross | Blue | VWAP Rejection | | ◆ Diamond | Yellow | Volume Climax | | ● Circle | Orange | RSI Divergence | | ■ Square | Red | Failed Breakout | ### Composite Short Signal (Large) -

For a $25,000 account, max risk = $250. ### The 2x Stop Rule If your stop gets hit twice on the same stock, stop trading it for the day. The pattern isn't working. ### The Daily Loss Limit Set a maximum daily loss (e.g., 3% of account). Stop trading if hit. ### The Size-Down Rule After a losing trade, reduce your next position size by 50%. Rebuild after a winner. ## Short-Specific Risks ### The Short Squeeze - Penny stocks can squeeze violently - ALWAYS use stops - Never "hope" a position comes back - Size appropriately for volatility ### The Hard-to-Borrow - Check borrow availability before trading - High borrow fees eat into profits - Some stocks become HTB mid-trade ### The Halt Risk - Penny stocks can halt on volatility - Position size for worst-case halt against you - Halts can open significantly higher --- # Best Practices ## DO's ✅ **Wait for multiple signals** - Single signals have lower accuracy ✅ **Trade with the trend** - Short when daily trend is down ✅ **Use the dashboard** - Check signal count before entering ✅ **Respect stops** - The indicator calculates them for a reason ✅ **Size appropriately** - Penny stocks are volatile; position small ✅ **Trade liquid stocks** - Volume ≥ 500K daily average ✅ **Know the catalyst** - Understand why the stock is moving ✅ **Take partial profits** - Secure gains at T1 ✅ **Journal your trades** - Track what works and what doesn't ✅ **Time your entries** - Best shorts often come 10:30-11:30 AM ## DON'Ts ❌ **Don't short strong stocks** - If it won't go down, don't force it ❌ **Don't fight the tape** - A stock going up can keep going up ❌ **Don't average up on losers** - Adding to losing shorts is dangerous ❌ **Don't ignore the dashboard** - It exists to help you ❌ **Don't overtrade** - Quality over quantity ❌ **Don't short into news** - Wait for the reaction first ❌ **Don't trade the first 5 minutes** - Too chaotic for reliable signals ❌ **Don't hold overnight** - Penny stock gaps can destroy accounts ❌ **Don't trade without stops** - Ever. ❌ **Don't trade on tilt** - After losses, take a break ## Optimal Trading Windows | Time (ET) | Quality | Notes | |-----------|---------|-------| | 9:30-9:35 | ⭐ | Too volatile, avoid | | 9:35-10:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Best shorts, morning runners exhaust | | 10:30-11:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Secondary exhaustion, HOD rejections | | 11:30-2:00 | ⭐⭐ | Midday lull, lower quality | | 2:00-3:00 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Afternoon setups develop | | 3:00-3:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | End of day momentum | | 3:30-4:00 | ⭐⭐ | Closing volatility, risky | --- # Troubleshooting ## Common Issues ### "Signals aren't appearing" - Check that the relevant system is enabled in settings - Ensure minimum signals threshold isn't too high - Verify the stock has sufficient volume for calculations ### "Too many false signals" - Increase minimum signals threshold - Use more conservative settings (see Settings section) - Focus on stocks with cleaner price action ### "Dashboard not showing" - Ensure "Show Signal Dashboard" is enabled - Check that your chart has enough space - Try a different dashboard position ### "VWAP line is missing" - VWAP requires intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.) - VWAP resets daily; won't show on daily+ charts - Ensure "Show VWAP Line" is enabled ### "Stop loss seems too tight/wide" - Adjust Stop ATR Multiple in Risk Management settings - Lower multiple = tighter stop - Higher multiple = wider stop ### "Alerts not triggering" - Verify alert is set to the correct indicator - Check that alert hasn't expired - Ensure notification settings are configured in TradingView ## Performance Optimization If the indicator is slow: 1.

Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Suite [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Suite is a comprehensive toolkit that tracks the net difference between buying and selling pressure over time, helping traders identify significant accumulation/distribution patterns, spot divergences with price action, and confirm trend strength. By visualizing the running balance of volume flow, this indicator reveals underlying market sentiment that often precedes significant price movements. 🟢 How It Works The indicator begins by determining the optimal timeframe for delta calculation. When auto-select is enabled, it automatically chooses a lower timeframe based on your chart period, e.g., using 1-second bars for minute charts, 5-second bars for 5-minute charts, and progressively larger intervals for higher timeframes. This granular approach captures volume flow dynamics that might be missed at the chart level. Once the timeframe is established, the indicator calculates volume delta for each bar using directional classification: getDelta() => close > open ? volume : close < open ? -volume : 0 When a bar closes higher than it opens (bullish candle), the entire volume is counted as positive delta representing buying pressure. Conversely, when a bar closes lower than its open (bearish candle), volume becomes negative delta representing selling pressure. This classification is applied to every bar in the selected lower timeframe, then aggregated upward to construct the delta for each chart bar: array deltaValues = request.security_lower_tf(syminfo.tickerid, lowerTimeframe, getDelta()) float barDelta = 0.0 if array.size(deltaValues) > 0 for i = 0 to array.size(deltaValues) - 1 barDelta := barDelta + array.get(deltaValues, i) This aggregation process sums all the individual delta values from the lower timeframe bars that comprise each chart bar, capturing the complete volume flow activity within that period. The resulting bar delta then feeds into the various display calculations: rawCVD = ta.cum(barDelta) // Cumulative sum from chart start smoothCVD = ta.sma(rawCVD, smoothingLength) // Smoothed for noise reduction rollingCVD = math.sum(barDelta, rollingLength) // Rolling window calculation Note: This directional bar approach differs from exchange-level orderflow CVD, which uses tick data to separate aggressive buy orders (executed at the ask price) from aggressive sell orders (executed at the bid price). While this method provides a volume flow approximation rather than pure tape-reading precision, it offers a practical and accessible way to analyze buying and selling dynamics across all timeframes and instruments without requiring specialized data feeds on TradingView. 🟢 Key Features The indicator offers five distinct visualization modes, each designed to reveal different aspects of volume flow dynamics and cater to various trading strategies and market conditions. 1. Oscillator (Raw): Displays the true cumulative volume delta from the beginning of chart history, accompanied by an EMA signal line that helps identify trend direction and momentum shifts. When CVD crosses above the signal line, it indicates strengthening buying pressure; crosses below suggest increasing selling pressure. This mode is particularly valuable for spotting long-term accumulation/distribution phases and identifying divergences where CVD makes new highs/lows while price fails to confirm, often signaling potential reversals. 2. Oscillator (Smooth): Applies a simple moving average to the raw CVD to filter out noise while preserving the underlying trend structure, creating smoother signal line crossovers. Use this when trading trending instruments where you need confirmation of genuine volume-backed moves versus temporary volatility spikes. 3. Oscillator (Rolling): Calculates cumulative delta over only the most recent N bars (configurable window length), effectively resetting the baseline and removing the influence of distant historical data. This approach focuses exclusively on current market dynamics, making it highly responsive to recent shifts in volume pressure and particularly useful in markets that have undergone regime changes or structural shifts. This mode can be beneficial for traders when they want to analyze "what's happening now" without legacy bias from months or years of prior data affecting the readings. 4. Histogram: Renders the per-bar volume delta as individual histogram bars rather than cumulative values, showing the immediate buying or selling pressure that occurred during each specific candle. Positive (green) bars indicate that bar closed higher than it opened with buying volume, while negative (red) bars show selling volume dominance. This mode excels at identifying sudden volume surges, exhaustion points where large delta bars fail to move price, and bar-by-bar absorption patterns where one side is aggressively consuming the other's volume. 5. Candles: Transforms CVD data into OHLC candlestick format, where each candle's open represents the CVD at the start of the bar and subsequent intra-bar delta changes create the high, low, and close values. This visualization reveals the internal volume flow dynamics within each time period, showing whether buying or selling pressure dominated throughout the bar's formation and exposing intra-bar reversals or sustained directional pressure. Use candle wicks and bodies to identify volume acceptance/rejection at specific CVD levels, similar to how price candles show acceptance/rejection at price levels. ▶ Built-in Alert System: Comprehensive alerts for all display modes including bullish/bearish momentum shifts (CVD crossing signal line), buying/selling pressure detection (histogram mode), and bullish/bearish CVD candle formations. Fully customizable with exchange and timeframe placeholders. ▶ Visual Customization: Choose from 5 color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon) or create your own custom color schemes. Optional price bar coloring feature overlays CVD trend colors directly onto your main chart candles, providing instant visual confirmation of volume flow and making divergences immediately apparent. Optional info label with configurable position and size displays current CVD values, data source timeframe, and mode at a glance.

Fractal Wave Hunter [JOAT] Fractal Wave Hunter - Multi-Method Fractal Detection System Introduction and Purpose Fractal Wave Hunter is an open-source overlay indicator that identifies key reversal patterns using multiple fractal detection methods. The core problem this indicator solves is that different fractal methods catch different types of reversals. Williams' classic 5-bar fractal is reliable but slow; Hougaard's 4-bar method is faster but noisier. Using only one method means missing valid signals that the other would catch. This indicator addresses that by combining both methods plus HOLP/LOHP detection, giving traders a comprehensive view of potential reversal points. Why These Methods Work Together Each fractal method has different characteristics: 1. 4-Bar Fractal (Hougaard Method) - Faster detection, identifies momentum shifts when close exceeds recent highs/lows. Best for catching early reversals. 2. Classic 5-Bar Fractal (Williams) - Traditional pivot detection requiring the middle bar to be the highest/lowest of 5 bars. Best for identifying significant swing points. 3. HOLP/LOHP - High of Low Period and Low of High Period signals identify when price makes a new extreme within a defined lookback. Best for trend exhaustion detection. By combining these methods, traders can: Use 4-bar fractals for early entry signals Use 5-bar fractals for confirmation and stop placement Use HOLP/LOHP for trend exhaustion warnings How the Detection Works 4-Bar Fractal (Hougaard): bool fractal4BuyBase = close > high and close > high bool fractal4SellBase = close < low and close < low Classic 5-Bar Fractal: bool fractalHigh = high > high and high > high and high > high and high > high bool fractalLow = low < low and low < low and low < low and low < low Signal Types 4B (4-Bar Buy) - Close exceeds high and high - early bullish signal 4S (4-Bar Sell) - Close below low and low - early bearish signal FH (Fractal High) - Classic 5-bar swing high - confirmed resistance FL (Fractal Low) - Classic 5-bar swing low - confirmed support HOLP - High of low period - potential bullish exhaustion LOHP - Low of high period - potential bearish exhaustion Dashboard Information 4-Bar Fractal - Count of bullish/bearish 4-bar fractals Classic Fractal - Count of 5-bar fractal highs/lows HOLP/LOHP - Reversal signal counts Total Signals - Combined pattern count How to Use This Indicator For Counter-Trend Entries: 1. Wait for 4-bar fractal signal at key support/resistance 2. Confirm with 5-bar fractal forming nearby 3. Enter with stop beyond the fractal point For Stop Placement: 1. Use 5-bar fractal highs/lows as stop-loss references 2. These represent confirmed swing points that should hold if trend continues For Trend Analysis: 1. Track swing structure using fractal highs and lows 2. Higher fractal lows = uptrend structure 3. Lower fractal highs = downtrend structure Input Parameters Show 4-Bar Fractals (true) - Toggle Hougaard method signals Show Classic Fractals (true) - Toggle Williams method signals Show HOLP/LOHP (true) - Toggle exhaustion signals ATR Filter (false) - Only show signals during volatile conditions Swing Lines (true) - Connect significant swing points Timeframe Recommendations 1H-Daily: Best for reliable fractal detection 15m-30m: More signals but higher noise Weekly: Fewer but more significant fractals Limitations 5-bar fractals have inherent 2-bar lag (need confirmation) 4-bar fractals can produce false signals in choppy markets HOLP/LOHP signals work best at trend extremes Not all fractals lead to significant reversals Open-Source and Disclaimer This script is published as open-source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 for educational purposes.

CME Gap Tracker [captainua]CME Gap Tracker - Advanced Gap Detection & Tracking System Overview This indicator provides comprehensive gap detection and tracking capabilities for both consecutive bar gaps and weekly CME trading session gaps. It automatically detects gaps, tracks their fill progress in real-time, provides detailed statistics, and includes backtesting features to validate gap trading strategies. The script is optimized for CME futures trading but works with any instrument, automatically handling ticker conversion between CME futures and spot markets. Gap Detection Types Consecutive Bar Gaps: Detects gaps between any two consecutive bars on the current timeframe. Two detection modes are available: - High/Low Mode: Detects gaps when current bar's low > previous bar's high (gap up) or current bar's high < previous bar's low (gap down). This is more sensitive and detects more gaps. - Close/Open Mode: Detects gaps when current bar's open > previous bar's close (gap up) or current bar's open < previous bar's close (gap down). This is more conservative. Weekly CME Gaps: Detects gaps between weekly trading sessions, specifically designed for CME futures markets. The script automatically detects the first bar of each new week and compares the current week's open with the previous week's close/high/low. This is particularly useful for tracking weekend gaps in CME futures markets where price can gap significantly between Friday close and Monday open. Smart Ticker Detection The script automatically converts between CME futures tickers (e.g., BTC1!, ETH1!) and spot tickers (e.g., BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT). When viewing a CME futures chart, it can automatically detect and use the corresponding spot ticker for gap analysis, and vice versa. This allows traders to: - View CME futures but track spot market gaps - View spot markets but track CME futures gaps - Manually override with custom ticker specification The ticker validation system uses caching to prevent race conditions during initial script load, ensuring reliable ticker resolution. Gap Filtering & Tolerance Static Tolerance: Set minimum and maximum gap sizes as percentages (default: show only gaps > 0.333% and < 100%). This filters out noise and focuses on significant gaps. Dynamic Tolerance: When enabled, tolerance is calculated dynamically based on ATR (Average True Range). The formula: Dynamic Tolerance = (ATR × ATR Multiplier / Close Price) × 100%. This adapts to market volatility - in volatile markets, only larger gaps are shown; in calm markets, smaller gaps are displayed. This is particularly useful for instruments with varying volatility. Absolute Size Filtering: In addition to percentage filtering, gaps can be filtered by absolute price size (e.g., show only gaps > $100). This is useful for instruments where percentage alone doesn't capture significance (e.g., high-priced stocks). Fill Confirmation System To reduce false gap closure signals, the script requires multiple consecutive bars to confirm gap closure. The default is 2 bars, but can be adjusted from 1-10 bars. Lower values (1) confirm faster but may produce false signals from temporary wicks. Higher values (3-5) reduce false fill signals but delay confirmation. This prevents temporary price spikes from triggering false gap closure alerts. Gap Fill Tracking The script tracks gap fill progress in real-time: - Fill Percentage: How much of the gap has been filled (0-100%) - Fill Speed: Whether fill is accelerating, decelerating, or constant - Time to Fill: For closed gaps, how many bars it took to fill - Fill Status: Unfilled, partially filled, or fully filled Visual Features Heatmap Colors: Gap colors can be adjusted based on gap size, with larger gaps appearing more intense and smaller gaps more faded. Adaptive Line Width: Line thickness automatically adjusts based on gap size, making larger gaps more prominent. Age-Based Coloring: Gaps can be color-coded by age, with newer gaps appearing brighter and older gaps more faded. Confluence Zones: Areas where multiple gaps overlap are highlighted with enhanced visuals, indicating stronger support/resistance zones. Gap Statistics A comprehensive statistics table provides: - Total gaps created, open, and closed - Fill rates by direction (up vs down) and size category (small, medium, large) - Average fill time, fastest fill, slowest fill - Oldest gap and oldest unfilled gap - Backtesting results: success rate, reversal rate, average move after fill - CME gap expiration statistics: Gaps expired unfilled (for Weekly CME gaps only) Statistics can be filtered by period (All Time, Last 100/500/1000/5000 bars) and can be reset via toggle button. Backtesting When enabled, the script tracks price movement after gap fills: - Price after fill: Captures price when gap closes - Move after fill: Percentage price movement after closure - Success/Reversal tracking: Determines if price continued in fill direction or reversed - Success rate: Percentage of gaps where price continued in fill direction This data helps validate gap trading strategies and understand gap fill behavior. Gap Re-opening Detection When enabled, the script detects when a previously filled gap reopens (price gaps back through the filled gap zone). This is useful for identifying when support/resistance levels break and can signal trend reversals. CME-Specific Features Monday Opening Volume Analysis: For Weekly CME gaps detected on Monday openings, the script tracks Monday opening volume relative to average volume. Higher Monday volume ratios indicate stronger gap significance. This ratio is integrated into gap strength calculations and can be displayed in gap labels. Gaps with Monday volume > 1.5x average receive priority score boosts. CME Gap Expiration Tracking: Weekly CME gaps that remain unfilled beyond a configurable threshold (default 1000 bars) are automatically marked as "expired" and tracked separately in statistics. This helps identify gaps that act as strong support/resistance levels and never fill. Expired gaps are displayed with special labeling and counted in the "Gaps Expired (CME)" statistic. CME Gap Priority Scoring Enhancement: The priority scoring system includes special boosts for CME gaps: - Monday gaps: +10 points (gaps detected on Monday openings) - High Monday volume gaps: +15 points (Monday volume ratio > 1.5x average) - Gaps at key weekly levels: +10 points (gaps aligning with previous week's high, low, or close within 0.5% tolerance) These enhancements help prioritize the most significant CME gaps for trading decisions. Custom Gap Zones Traders can manually mark custom gap zones by specifying top and bottom levels. These zones are tracked like automatically detected gaps, allowing traders to: - Mark historical gaps that weren't detected - Create support/resistance zones based on other analysis - Track specific price levels of interest Multi-Timeframe Support The script can detect gaps on higher timeframes simultaneously. For example, when viewing a 1-hour chart, it can also detect and display gaps from the weekly timeframe. This provides multi-timeframe context for gap analysis. Alert System Comprehensive alert system with multiple trigger types: - Gap Creation: Alert when new gaps are detected - Gap Closure: Alert when gaps are fully filled - Partial Fill: Alert when gaps reach specific fill percentages (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%) - Approaching Closure: Alert when gaps reach high fill levels (e.g., 90%, 95%) before closing - Gap Re-opening: Alert when previously filled gaps reopen Alerts can be filtered to trigger only on Mondays (useful for CME weekly gaps) or any day. Filtering Options Gaps can be filtered by: - Fill Status: Show all, unfilled only, partially filled only, or fully filled only - Fill Percentage Range: Show gaps within specific fill percentage ranges - Gap Age: Show only gaps within specific age ranges (bars) - Gap Expiration: Automatically remove gaps older than specified number of bars (for Weekly CME gaps, uses separate CME expiration threshold) Performance & Safety The script includes several safety features: - Safe array operations to prevent index out-of-bounds errors - Memory leak prevention through proper visual object cleanup - Ticker validation caching to prevent race conditions - Week boundary detection for accurate CME gap identification - Fill confirmation system to reduce false signals - Monday opening volume analysis for CME gap strength assessment - CME gap expiration tracking with configurable thresholds - Priority scoring enhancement for Monday gaps, high Monday volume, and key weekly levels Usage Recommendations For CME Weekly Gaps: 1. Set "Gap Detection Type" to "Weekly CME" 2. View a CME futures chart (e.g., BTC1!) or enable auto-detect spot ticker 3. Set tolerance to filter gap size (default 0.333%) 4. Enable statistics to track fill rates 5. Configure alerts for gap creation/closure For Consecutive Bar Gaps: 1. Set "Gap Detection Type" to "Consecutive Bars" 2. Choose "High/Low" for more gaps or "Close/Open" for fewer gaps 3. Adjust tolerance based on instrument volatility 4. Enable fill confirmation (2-3 bars) for more reliable signals 5. Use filtering to focus on specific gap types For Gap Trading Strategies: 1. Enable backtesting to validate strategy performance 2. Review statistics to understand gap fill patterns 3. Use confluence zones to identify strong support/resistance 4. Configure alerts for gap events matching your strategy 5. Use custom zones to mark important levels Technical Details: • Pine Script v6 | Overlay indicator • Safe array operations with index validation • Memory leak prevention through proper object cleanup • Ticker validation caching for reliable ticker resolution • Works on all timeframes and instruments • Comprehensive edge case handling • Week boundary detection using ta.change(weekofyear) • Fill confirmation system with configurable bars For detailed documentation and usage instructions, see the script comments.

Simple Candle Strategy# Candle Pattern Strategy - Pine Script V6 ## Overview A TradingView trading strategy script (Pine Script V6) that identifies candlestick patterns over a configurable lookback period and generates trading signals based on pattern recognition rules. ## Strategy Logic The strategy analyzes the most recent N candlesticks (default: 5) and classifies their patterns into three categories, then generates buy/sell signals based on specific pattern combinations. ### Candlestick Pattern Classification Each candlestick is classified as one of three types: | Pattern | Definition | Formula | |---------|-----------|---------| | **Close at High** | Close price near the highest price of the candle | `(high - close) / (high - low) ≤ (1 - threshold)` | | **Close at Low** | Close price near the lowest price of the candle | `(close - low) / (high - low) ≤ (1 - threshold)` | | **Doji** | Opening and closing prices very close; long upper/lower wicks | `abs(close - open) / (high - low) ≤ threshold` | ### Trading Rules | Condition | Action | Signal | |-----------|--------|--------| | Number of Doji candles ≥ 3 | **SKIP** - Market is too chaotic | No trade | | "Close at High" count ≥ 2 + Last candle closes at high | **LONG** - Bullish confirmation | Buy Signal | | "Close at Low" count ≥ 2 + Last candle closes at low | **SHORT** - Bearish confirmation | Sell Signal | ## Configuration Parameters All parameters are adjustable in TradingView's "Settings/Inputs" tab: | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | **K-line Lookback Period** | 5 | 3-20 | Number of candlesticks to analyze | | **Doji Threshold** | 0.1 | 0.0-1.0 | Body size / Total range ratio for doji identification | | **Doji Count Limit** | 3 | 1-10 | Number of dojis that triggers skip signal | | **Close at High Proximity** | 0.9 | 0.5-1.0 | Required proximity to highest price (0.9 = 90%) | | **Close at Low Proximity** | 0.9 | 0.5-1.0 | Required proximity to lowest price (0.9 = 90%) | ### Parameter Tuning Guide #### Proximity Thresholds (Close at High/Low) - **0.95 or higher**: Stricter - only very strong candles qualify - **0.90 (default)**: Balanced - good for most market conditions - **0.80 or lower**: Looser - catches more patterns, higher false signals #### Doji Threshold - **0.05-0.10**: Strict doji identification - **0.10-0.15**: Standard doji detection - **0.15+**: Includes near-doji patterns #### Lookback Period - **3-5 bars**: Fast, sensitive to recent patterns - **5-10 bars**: Balanced approach - **10-20 bars**: Slower, filters out noise ## Visual Indicators ### Chart Markers - **Green Up Arrow** ▲: Long entry signal triggered - **Red Down Arrow** ▼: Short entry signal triggered - **Gray X**: Skip signal (too many dojis detected) ### Statistics Table Located at top-right corner, displays real-time pattern counts: - **Close at High**: Count of candles closing near the high - **Close at Low**: Count of candles closing near the low - **Doji**: Count of doji/near-doji patterns ### Signal Labels - Green label: "✓ Long condition met" - below entry bar - Red label: "✓ Short condition met" - above entry bar - Gray label: "⊠ Too many dojis, skip" - trade skipped ## Risk Management ### Exit Strategy The strategy includes built-in exit rules based on ATR (Average True Range): - **Stop Loss**: ATR × 2 - **Take Profit**: ATR × 3 Example: If ATR is $10, stop loss is at -$20 and take profit is at +$30 ### Position Sizing Default: 100% of equity per trade (adjustable in strategy properties) **Recommendation**: Reduce to 10-25% of equity for safer capital allocation ## How to Use ### 1.

Calculate (high - close) / (high - low) → close_to_high_ratio 2. If close_to_high_ratio ≤ (1 - threshold) → count as "Close at High" 3. Calculate (close - low) / (high - low) → close_to_low_ratio 4. If close_to_low_ratio ≤ (1 - threshold) → count as "Close at Low" 5. Calculate abs(close - open) / (high - low) → body_ratio 6. If body_ratio ≤ doji_threshold → count as "Doji" Signal Generation: 7. If doji_count ≥ cross_count_limit → SKIP_SIGNAL 8. If close_at_high_count ≥ 2 AND last_close_at_high → LONG_SIGNAL 9. If close_at_low_count ≥ 2 AND last_close_at_low → SHORT_SIGNAL ``` ## Example Scenarios ### Scenario 1: Bullish Signal ``` Last 5 bars pattern: Bar 1: Closes at high (95%) ✓ Bar 2: Closes at high (92%) ✓ Bar 3: Closes at mid (50%) Bar 4: Closes at low (10%) Bar 5: Closes at high (96%) ✓ (last bar) Result: - Close at high count: 3 (≥ 2) ✓ - Last closes at high: ✓ - Doji count: 0 (< 3) ✓ → LONG SIGNAL ✓ ``` ### Scenario 2: Skip Signal ``` Last 5 bars pattern: Bar 1: Doji pattern ✓ Bar 2: Doji pattern ✓ Bar 3: Closes at mid Bar 4: Doji pattern ✓ Bar 5: Closes at high Result: - Doji count: 3 (≥ 3) → SKIP SIGNAL - Market too chaotic ``` ## Performance Optimization ### Tips for Better Results 1. **Use Higher Timeframes**: 15m or higher reduces false signals 2. **Combine with Indicators**: Add volume or trend filters 3. **Seasonal Adjustment**: Different parameters for different seasons 4. **Instrument Selection**: Test on liquid, high-volume instruments 5. **Regular Rebalancing**: Adjust parameters quarterly based on performance ## Troubleshooting ### No Signals Generated - Check if lookback period is too large - Verify proximity thresholds aren't too strict (try 0.85 instead of 0.95) - Ensure doji limit allows for trading (try 4-5 instead of 3) ### Too Many False Signals - Increase proximity thresholds to 0.95+ - Reduce lookback period to 3-4 bars - Increase doji limit to 3-4 - Test on higher timeframes ### Strategy Tester Shows Losses - Review individual trades to identify patterns - Adjust stop loss and take profit ratios - Change lookback period and thresholds - Test on different market conditions ## References - (www.tradingview.com) - (www.tradingview.com) - (www.investopedia.com) - (www.investopedia.com) ## Disclaimer **This strategy is provided for educational and research purposes only.** - Not financial advice - Past performance does not guarantee future results - Always conduct thorough backtesting before live trading - Trading involves significant risk of loss - Use proper risk management and position sizing ## License Created: December 15, 2025 Version: 1.0 --- **For updates and modifications, refer to the accompanying documentation files.**

Trendlines & SR ZonesIt's a comprehensive indicator (Pine Script v6) that represents two powerful technical analysis tools: automatic trendline detection based on pivot points and volume delta analysis with support/resistance zone identification. This overlay indicator helps traders identify potential trend directions and key price levels where significant buying or selling pressure has occurred. Features: = 1. Price Trendlines The indicator automatically identifies and draws trendlines based on pivot points, creating dynamic support and resistance levels. Key Components: Pivot Detection: Uses configurable left and right bars to identify significant pivot highs and lows Trendline Filtering: Only draws downward-sloping resistance trendlines and upward-sloping support trendlines Zone Creation: Creates filled zones around trendlines based on average price volatility Automatic Management: Maintains only the 3 most recent significant trendlines to avoid chart clutter Customization Options: Left/Right Bars for Pivot: Adjust sensitivity of pivot detection (default: 10 bars each side) Extension Length: Control how far trendlines extend past the second pivot (default: 50 bars) Average Body Periods: Set the lookback period for volatility calculation (default: 100) Tolerance Multiplier: Adjust the width of the trendline zones (default: 1.0) Color Customization: Separate colors for high (resistance) and low (support) trendlines and their fills 2. Volume Delta % Bars The indicator analyzes volume distribution across price levels to identify significant supply and demand zones. Key Components: Volume Profile Analysis: Divides the price range into rows and calculates volume delta at each level Delta Visualization: Displays horizontal bars showing the percentage difference between buying and selling volume Zone Identification: Automatically identifies the most significant supply and demand zones Visual Integration: Connects volume delta bars with corresponding support/resistance zones on the price chart Customization Options: Lookback Period: Set the number of bars to analyze for volume (default: 200) Price Rows: Control the granularity of the volume analysis (default: 50 rows) Delta Sections: Adjust the number of horizontal delta bars displayed (default: 20) Panel Appearance: Customize width, position, and direction of the delta panel Zone Settings: Control the number of supply/demand zones and their extension (default: 3 zones) How It Works- Trendline Logic: The script continuously scans for pivot highs and lows based on the specified left and right bars When a pivot is detected, it creates a horizontal line at that price level The script then looks for the previous pivot of the same type (high or low) It connects these pivots with a trendline, extending it based on the user-specified setting A parallel line is created to form a zone, with the distance based on average price volatility The script filters out invalid trendlines (upward-sloping resistance and downward-sloping support). Only the 3 most recent trendlines are maintained to prevent chart clutter Volume Delta Logic: The script divides the price range over the lookback period into the specified number of rows For each bar in the lookback period, it categorizes volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open). This volume is assigned to the appropriate price level based on the HLC3 price. The price levels are grouped into sections, and the net delta (bullish - bearish volume) is calculated for each Horizontal bars are drawn to represent these delta percentages. The most significant positive and negative deltas are identified and displayed as support and resistance zones. These zones are extended to the left on the price chart and connected to the delta panel with dotted lines. Ideal Timeframes: The indicator is versatile and can be used across multiple timeframes, but it performs optimally on specific timeframes depending on your trading style: For Day Trading: Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts Why: These timeframes provide a good balance between noise reduction and sufficient volume data. The volume delta analysis is particularly effective on these timeframes as it captures intraday accumulation/distribution patterns while the trendlines remain reliable enough for intraday trading decisions. For Swing Trading: Optimal Timeframes: 1-hour to 4-hour charts Why: These timeframes offer the best combination of reliable trendline formation and meaningful volume analysis. The trendlines on these timeframes are less prone to whipsaws, while the volume delta analysis captures multi-day trading sessions and institutional activity. For Position Trading: Optimal Timeframes: Daily and weekly charts Why: On these higher timeframes, trendlines become extremely reliable as they represent significant market structure points. The volume delta analysis reveals longer-term accumulation and distribution patterns that can define major support and resistance zones for weeks or months. Timeframe-Specific Adjustments: Lower Timeframes (1-15 minutes): Reduce left/right bars for pivots (5-8 bars) Decrease lookback period for volume delta (50-100 bars) Increase tolerance multiplier (1.2-1.5) to account for higher volatility Higher Timeframes (Daily+): Increase left/right bars for pivots (15-20 bars) Extend lookback period for volume delta (300-500 bars) Consider increasing the number of price rows (70-100) for more detailed volume analysis Usage Guidelines- For Trendline Analysis: Use the trendlines as dynamic support and resistance levels Price reactions at these levels can indicate potential trend continuation or reversal points The filled zones around trendlines represent areas of price volatility or uncertainty Consider the slope of the trendline as an indication of trend strength For Volume Delta Analysis: The horizontal delta bars show where buying or selling pressure has been concentrated Green bars indicate areas where buying volume exceeded selling volume (demand) Red bars indicate areas where selling volume exceeded buying volume (supply) The highlighted supply and demand zones on the price chart represent significant price levels These zones can act as future support or resistance areas as price revisits them Customization Tips: Trendline Sensitivity: Decrease left/right bars values to detect more pivots (more sensitive) or increase them for fewer, more significant pivots Zone Width: Adjust the tolerance multiplier to make trendline zones wider or narrower based on your trading style Volume Analysis: Increase the lookback period for a longer-term volume profile or decrease it for more recent activity Visual Clarity: Adjust colors and transparency settings to match your chart theme and preferences Conclusion: This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of both trend dynamics and volume-based support/resistance levels. With these two analytical approaches, the indicator offers valuable insights for identifying potential entry and exit points, trend strength, and key price levels where significant market activity has occurred. The extensive customization options allow traders to adapt the indicator to various trading styles and timeframes, with optimal performance on 15-minute to daily charts depending on their trading horizon.

Key Support and ResistanceKEY SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE - USER GUIDE ======================================== OVERVIEW This indicator automatically identifies and displays key support and resistance levels based on swing highs and swing lows. It uses pivot point detection to mark significant price levels where the market has previously shown reactions, helping traders identify potential entry/exit points and key decision zones. KEY FEATURES • Automatic Level Detection: Identifies swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support) using pivot point analysis • Dynamic Line Management: Displays only recent levels within a specified lookback period to keep charts clean • Auto-Extending Lines: Projects support/resistance levels forward to anticipate future price interactions • Color-Coded Levels: Red lines for resistance, green lines for support for easy visual identification ======================================== PARAMETERS ======================================== Left Bars (Default: 10) • Minimum: 5 bars • Number of bars to the left of the pivot point • Higher values = more significant levels but fewer signals • Lower values = more sensitive detection but may include minor swings Right Bars (Default: 10) • Minimum: 5 bars • Number of bars to the right of the pivot point • Must be confirmed by price action before the level is drawn • Balances between confirmation delay and signal accuracy Show Last N Bars (Default: 200) • Minimum: 10 bars • Only displays support/resistance levels detected within the most recent N bars • Keeps your chart clean by removing outdated levels • Adjust based on your trading timeframe and style Line Extension Length (Default: 48) • Minimum: 1 bar • How many bars forward the support/resistance lines extend • Helps visualize potential future price interactions • Longer extensions useful for swing trading, shorter for day trading ======================================== HOW TO USE ======================================== FOR SWING TRADERS 1. Use default settings (10/10) or increase to 15/15 for more significant levels 2. Set "Show Last N Bars" to 300-500 to capture longer-term levels 3. Look for price reactions when approaching these levels 4. Combine with volume analysis for confirmation FOR DAY TRADERS 1. Consider reducing Left/Right Bars to 7-8 for more frequent signals 2. Set "Show Last N Bars" to 100-150 to focus on recent action 3. Reduce "Line Extension Length" to 20-30 bars 4. Watch for intraday bounces or breakouts at these levels TRADING STRATEGIES Bounce Trading (Mean Reversion) • Enter long when price approaches green support lines • Enter short when price approaches red resistance lines • Use stop loss just beyond the support/resistance level • Best in ranging or consolidating markets Breakout Trading (Trend Following) • Wait for price to break through resistance (bullish) or support (bearish) • Confirm with increased volume • Previous resistance becomes new support (and vice versa) • Best in trending markets Multi-Timeframe Analysis • Check higher timeframe levels for major support/resistance zones • Use lower timeframe levels for precise entry/exit timing • Confluence of multiple timeframe levels creates strong zones ======================================== IMPORTANT NOTES ======================================== Line Confirmation Delay • Lines appear with a delay equal to "Right Bars" parameter • This delay ensures the pivot point is confirmed • Real-time level detection requires price action confirmation Chart Clarity • Maximum 500 lines can be displayed (TradingView limitation) • Adjust "Show Last N Bars" if chart becomes too cluttered • Old lines automatically delete when outside the lookback period False Signals • Not all support/resistance levels will hold • Use additional confirmation (volume, candlestick patterns, other indicators) • Markets can break through levels, especially during high-impact news BEST PRACTICES 1. Combine with Other Analysis: Use alongside trend indicators, volume, and price action patterns 2. Context Matters: Consider overall market trend and structure 3. Risk Management: Always use stop losses; don't rely solely on S/R levels 4. Market Conditions: More effective in liquid, actively traded markets 5.

SP500 Session Gap Fade StrategySummary in one paragraph SPX Session Gap Fade is an intraday gap fade strategy for index futures, designed around regular cash sessions on five minute charts. It helps you participate only when there is a full overnight or pre session gap and a valid intraday session window, instead of trading every open. The original part is the gap distance engine which anchors both stop and optional target to the previous session reference close at a configurable flat time, so every trade’s risk scales with the actual gap size rather than a fixed tick stop. Scope and intent • Markets. Primarily index futures such as ES, NQ, YM, and liquid index CFDs that exhibit overnight gaps and regular cash hours. • Timeframes. Intraday timeframes from one minute to fifteen minutes. Default usage is five minute bars. • Default demo used in the publication. Symbol CME:ES1! on a five minute chart. • Purpose. Provide a simple, transparent way to trade opening gaps with a session anchored risk model and forced flat exit so you are not holding into the last part of the session. • Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only. Originality and usefulness • Unique concept or fusion. The core novelty is the combination of a strict “full gap” entry condition with a session anchored reference close and a gap distance based TP and SL engine. The stop and optional target are symmetric multiples of the actual gap distance from the previous session’s flat close, rather than fixed ticks. • Failure mode it addresses. Fixed sized stops do not scale when gaps are unusually small or unusually large, which can either under risk or over risk the account. The session flat logic also reduces the chance of holding residual positions into late session liquidity and news. • Testability. All key pieces are explicit in the Inputs: session window, minutes before session end, whether to use gap exits, whether TP or SL are active, and whether to allow candle based closes and forced flat. You can toggle each component and see how it changes entries and exits. • Portable yardstick. The main unit is the absolute price gap between the entry bar open and the previous session reference close. tp_mult and sl_mult are multiples of that gap, which makes the risk model portable across contracts and volatility regimes. Method overview in plain language The strategy first defines a trading session using exchange time, for example 08:30 to 15:30 for ES day hours. It also defines a “flat” time a fixed number of minutes before session end. At the flat bar, any open position is closed and the bar’s close price is stored as the reference close for the next session. Inside the session, the strategy looks for a full gap bar relative to the prior bar: a gap down where today’s high is below yesterday’s low, or a gap up where today’s low is above yesterday’s high. A full gap down generates a long entry; a full gap up generates a short entry. If the gap risk engine is enabled and a valid reference close exists, the strategy measures the distance between the entry bar open and that reference close. It then sets a stop and optional target as configurable multiples of that gap distance and manages them with strategy.exit. Additional exits can be triggered by a candle color flip or by the forced flat time. Base measures • Range basis. The main unit is the absolute difference between the current entry bar open and the stored reference close from the previous session flat bar. That value is used as a “gap unit” and scaled by tp_mult and sl_mult to build the target and stop. Components • Component one: Gap Direction. Detects full gap up or full gap down by comparing the current high and low to the previous bar’s high and low. Gap down signals a long fade, gap up signals a short fade. There is no smoothing; it is a strict structural condition. • Component two: Session Window. Only allows entries when the current time is within the configured session window. It also defines a flat time before the session end where positions are forced flat and the reference close is updated. • Component three: Gap Distance Risk Engine. Computes the absolute distance between the entry open and the stored reference close. The stop and optional target are placed as entry ± gap_distance × multiplier so that risk scales with gap size. • Optional component: Candle Exit. If enabled, a bullish bar closes short positions and a bearish bar closes long positions, which can shorten holding time when price reverses quickly inside the session. • Session windows. Session logic uses the exchange time of the chart symbol. When changing symbols or venues, verify that the session time string still matches the new instrument’s cash hours. Fusion rule All gates are hard conditions rather than weighted scores. A trade can only open if the session window is active and the full gap condition is true. The gap distance engine only activates if a valid reference close exists and use_gap_risk is on. TP and SL are controlled by separate booleans so you can use SL only, TP only, or both. Long and short are symmetric by construction: long trades fade full gap downs, short trades fade full gap ups with mirrored TP and SL logic. Signal rule • Long entry. Inside the active session, when the current bar shows a full gap down relative to the previous bar (current high below prior low), the strategy opens a long position. If the gap risk engine is active, it places a gap based stop below the entry and an optional target above it. • Short entry. Inside the active session, when the current bar shows a full gap up relative to the previous bar (current low above prior high), the strategy opens a short position. If the gap risk engine is active, it places a gap based stop above the entry and an optional target below it. • Forced flat. At the configured flat time before session end, any open position is closed and the close price of that bar becomes the new reference close for the following session. • Candle based exit. If enabled, a bearish bar closes longs, and a bullish bar closes shorts, regardless of where TP or SL sit, as long as a position is open. What you will see on the chart • Markers on entry bars. Standard strategy entry markers labeled “long” and “short” on the gap bars where trades open. • Exit markers. Standard exit markers on bars where either the gap stop or target are hit, or where a candle exit or forced flat close occurs. Exit IDs “long_gap” and “short_gap” label gap based exits. • Reference levels. Horizontal lines for the current long TP, long SL, short TP, and short SL while a position is open and the gap engine is enabled. They update when a new trade opens and disappear when flat. • Session background. This version does not add background shading for the session; session logic runs internally based on time. • No on chart table. All decisions are visible through orders and exit levels. Use the Strategy Tester for performance metrics. Inputs with guidance Session Settings • Trading session (sess). Session window in exchange time. Typical value uses the regular cash session for each contract, for example “0830-1530” for ES. Adjust if your broker or symbol uses different hours. • Minutes before session end to force exit (flat_before_min). Minutes before the session end where positions are forced flat and the reference close is stored. Typical range is 15 to 120. Raising it closes trades earlier in the day; lowering it allows trades later in the session. Gap Risk • Enable gap based TP/SL (use_gap_risk). Master switch for the gap distance exit engine. Turning it off keeps entries and forced flat logic but removes automatic TP and SL placement. • Use TP limit from gap (use_gap_tp). Enables gap based profit targets. Typical values are true for structured exits or false if you want to manage exits manually and only keep a stop. • Use SL stop from gap (use_gap_sl). Enables gap based stop losses. This should normally remain true so that each trade has a defined initial risk in ticks. • TP multiplier of gap distance (tp_mult). Multiplier applied to the gap distance for the target. Typical range is 0.5 to 2.0. Raising it places the target further away and reduces hit frequency. • SL multiplier of gap distance (sl_mult). Multiplier applied to the gap distance for the stop. Typical range is 0.5 to 2.0. Raising it widens the stop and increases risk per trade; lowering it tightens the stop and may increase the number of small losses. Exit Controls • Exit with candle logic (use_candle_exit). If true, closes shorts on bullish candles and longs on bearish candles. Useful when you want to react to intraday reversal bars even if TP or SL have not been reached. • Force flat before session end (use_forced_flat). If true, guarantees you are flat by the configured flat time and updates the reference close. Turn this off only if you understand the impact on overnight risk. Filters There is no separate trend or volatility filter in this version. All trades depend on the presence of a full gap bar inside the session. If you need extra filtering such as ATR, volume, or higher timeframe bias, they should be added explicitly and documented in your own fork. Usage recipes Intraday conservative gap fade • Timeframe. Five minute chart on ES regular session. • Gap risk. use_gap_risk = true, use_gap_tp = true, use_gap_sl = true. • Multipliers. tp_mult around 0.7 to 1.0 and sl_mult around 1.0. • Exits. use_candle_exit = false, use_forced_flat = true. Focus on the structured TP and SL around the gap. Intraday aggressive gap fade • Timeframe. Five minute chart. • Gap risk. use_gap_risk = true, use_gap_tp = false, use_gap_sl = true. • Multipliers. sl_mult around 0.7 to 1.0. • Exits. use_candle_exit = true, use_forced_flat = true. Entries fade full gaps, stops are tight, and candle color flips flatten trades early. Higher timeframe gap tests • Timeframe. Fifteen minute or sixty minute charts on instruments with regular gaps. • Gap risk. Keep use_gap_risk = true. Consider slightly higher sl_mult if gaps are structurally wider on the higher timeframe. • Note. Expect fewer trades and be careful with sample size; multi year data is recommended. Properties visible in this publication • On average our risk for each position over the last 200 trades is 0.4% with a max intraday loss of 1.5% of the total equity in this case of 100k $ with 1 contract ES. For other assets, recalculations and customizations has to be applied. • Initial capital. 100 000. • Base currency. USD. • Default order size method. Fixed with size 1 contract. • Pyramiding. 0. • Commission. Flat 2 USD per order in the Strategy Tester Properties. (2$ buying + 2$selling) • Slippage. One tick in the Strategy Tester Properties. • Process orders on close. ON. Realism and responsible publication • No performance claims are made. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. • Costs use a realistic flat commission and one tick of slippage per trade for ES class futures. • Default sizing with one contract on a 100 000 reference account targets modest per trade risk. In practice, extreme slippage or gap through events can exceed this, so treat the one and a half percent risk target as a design goal, not a guarantee. • All orders are simulated on standard candles. Shapes can move while a bar is forming and settle on bar close. Honest limitations and failure modes • Economic releases, thin liquidity, and limit conditions can break the assumptions behind the simple gap model and lead to slippage or skipped fills. • Symbols with very frequent or very large gaps may require adjusted multipliers or alternative risk handling, especially in high volatility regimes. • Very quiet periods without clean gaps will produce few or no trades. This is expected behavior, not a bug. • Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. Always confirm that the configured session matches the symbol. • When both the stop and target lie inside the same bar’s range, the TradingView engine decides which is hit first based on its internal intrabar assumptions. Without bar magnifier, tie handling is approximate. Legal Education and research only. This strategy is not investment advice. You remain responsible for all trading decisions. Always test on historical data and in simulation with realistic costs before considering any live use.

Pinbar MTF - No Repaint# Pinbar MTF - No Repaint Indicator ## Complete Technical Documentation --- ## 📊 Overview **Pinbar MTF (Multi-Timeframe) - No Repaint** is a professional-grade TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to detect high-probability pinbar reversal patterns with advanced filtering systems. The indicator is specifically engineered to be **100% non-repainting**, making it reliable for both live trading and backtesting. ### Key Features ✅ **Non-Repainting** - Signals only appear AFTER bar closes, never disappear ✅ **Three-Layer Filter System** - ATR, SWING, and RSI filters ✅ **Automatic SL/TP Calculation** - Based on risk:reward ratios ✅ **Real-time Alerts** - TradingView notifications for all signals ✅ **Visual Trade Management** - Lines, labels, and areas for entries, stops, and targets ✅ **Backtesting Ready** - Reliable historical data for strategy testing --- ## 🎯 What is a Pinbar? A **Pinbar (Pin Bar/Pinocchio Bar)** is a single candlestick pattern that indicates a potential price reversal: ### Bullish Pinbar (BUY Signal) - **Long lower wick** (rejection of lower prices) - **Small body at the top** of the candle - Shows buyers rejected sellers' attempt to push price down - Forms at support levels or swing lows - Entry signal for LONG positions ### Bearish Pinbar (SELL Signal) - **Long upper wick** (rejection of higher prices) - **Small body at the bottom** of the candle - Shows sellers rejected buyers' attempt to push price up - Forms at resistance levels or swing highs - Entry signal for SHORT positions --- ## 🔧 How the Indicator Works ### 1. **Pinbar Detection Logic** The indicator analyzes the **previous closed bar ** to identify pinbar patterns: ``` Bullish Pinbar Requirements: - Lower wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable) - Upper wick < 28% of total candle range - Close > Open (bullish candle body) Bearish Pinbar Requirements: - Upper wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable) - Lower wick < 28% of total candle range - Close < Open (bearish candle body) ``` **Why check ?** By analyzing the previous completed bar, we ensure the pattern is fully formed and won't change, preventing repainting. --- ### 2. **Three-Layer Filter System** #### 🔍 **Filter #1: ATR (Average True Range) Filter** - **Purpose**: Ensures the pinbar has significant size - **Function**: Only signals if pinbar range ≥ ATR value - **Benefit**: Filters out small, insignificant pinbars - **Settings**: - Enable/Disable toggle - ATR Period (default: 7) **Example**: If ATR = 50 pips, only pinbars with 50+ pip range will signal. --- #### 🔍 **Filter #2: SWING Filter** (Always Active) - **Purpose**: Confirms pinbar forms at swing highs/lows - **Function**: Validates the pinbar is an absolute high/low - **Benefit**: Identifies true reversal points - **Settings**: - Swing Candles (default: 3) **How it works**: - For bullish pinbar: Checks if low is lowest of past 3 bars - For bearish pinbar: Checks if high is highest of past 3 bars **Example**: With 3 swing candles, a bullish pinbar must have the lowest low among the last 3 bars. --- #### 🔍 **Filter #3: RSI (Relative Strength Index) Filter** - **Purpose**: Confirms momentum conditions - **Function**: Prevents signals in extreme momentum zones - **Benefit**: Avoids counter-trend trades - **Settings**: - Enable/Disable toggle - RSI Period (default: 7) - RSI Source (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4) - Overbought Level (default: 70) - Oversold Level (default: 30) **Logic**: - Bullish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI < 70 (not overbought) - Bearish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI > 30 (not oversold) --- ### 3. **Stop Loss Calculation** Two methods available: #### Method A: ATR-Based Stop Loss (Recommended) ``` Bullish Pinbar: SL = Pinbar Low - (1 × ATR) Bearish Pinbar: SL = Pinbar High + (1 × ATR) ``` **Benefit**: Dynamic stops that adapt to market volatility #### Method B: Fixed Pips Stop Loss ``` Bullish Pinbar: SL = Pinbar Low - (Fixed Pips) Bearish Pinbar: SL = Pinbar High + (Fixed Pips) ``` **Settings**: - Calculate Stop with ATR (toggle) - Stop Pips without ATR (default: 5) --- ### 4. **Take Profit Calculation** Take Profit is calculated based on Risk:Reward ratio: ``` Bullish Trade: TP = Entry + (Entry - SL) × Risk:Reward Ratio Bearish Trade: TP = Entry - (SL - Entry) × Risk:Reward Ratio ``` **Example**: - Entry: 1.2000 - SL: 1.1950 (50 pip risk) - RR: 2:1 - TP: 1.2100 (100 pip reward = 50 × 2) **Settings**: - Risk:Reward Ratio (default: 1.0, range: 0.1 to 10.0) --- ## 📈 Visual Elements ### On-Chart Displays 1. **Signal Markers** - 🟢 **Green Triangle Up** = Bullish Pinbar (BUY) - 🔴 **Red Triangle Down** = Bearish Pinbar (SELL) - Placed directly on the pinbar candle 2. **Entry Labels** - Green "BUY" label with entry price - Red "SELL" label with entry price - Shows exact entry level 3. **Stop Loss Lines** - 🔴 Red horizontal line - "SL" label - Extends 20 bars forward 4. **Take Profit Lines** - 🟢 Green horizontal line - "TP" label - Extends 20 bars forward 5. **Risk/Reward Areas** (Optional) - Red shaded box = Risk zone (Entry to SL) - Green shaded box = Reward zone (Entry to TP) - Visual risk:reward visualization 6. **Info Table** (Top Right) - Displays current settings - Shows filter status (ON/OFF) - Real-time RSI value - Quick reference panel --- ## 🔔 Alert System Three alert types available: ### 1. Combined Alert: "Pinbar Signal (Any Direction)" - Fires for BOTH bullish and bearish pinbars - **Best for**: General monitoring - **Message**: "Pinbar Signal Detected on {TICKER} at {PRICE}" ### 2. Bullish Alert: "Bullish Pinbar Alert" - Fires ONLY for BUY signals - **Best for**: Long-only strategies - **Message**: "BUY Signal on {TICKER} at {PRICE}" ### 3. Bearish Alert: "Bearish Pinbar Alert" - Fires ONLY for SELL signals - **Best for**: Short-only strategies - **Message**: "SELL Signal on {TICKER} at {PRICE}" --- ## ⚙️ Input Parameters Reference ### **Filters Group** | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | ATR Filter on Pinbar Range? | ✅ ON | Boolean | Enable/disable ATR filter | | ATR Period | 7 | 1+ | Lookback period for ATR calculation | | Swing Candles | 3 | 1+ | Bars to check for swing high/low | | RSI Filter on Pinbar? | ❌ OFF | Boolean | Enable/disable RSI filter | | RSI Period | 7 | 2+ | Lookback period for RSI calculation | | RSI Source | Close | Multiple | Price data for RSI (Close/Open/High/Low/etc) | | RSI Overbought Level | 70 | 50-100 | Upper threshold for RSI filter | | RSI Oversold Level | 30 | 0-50 | Lower threshold for RSI filter | ### **Pinbar Detection Group** | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Shadow % vs Body | 72 | 50-95 | Minimum wick size as % of total range | ### **Visualization Group** | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Show SL and TP Lines? | ✅ ON | Boolean | Display stop loss and take profit lines | | Show SL and TP Area? | ❌ OFF | Boolean | Show shaded risk/reward boxes | ### **Risk Management Group** | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Risk:Reward Ratio | 1.0 | 0.1-10.0 | Target profit vs risk (1.0 = 1:1, 2.0 = 1:2) | | Calculate Stop with ATR? | ✅ ON | Boolean | Use ATR for stop calculation | | Stop Pips without ATR | 5 | 1+ | Fixed pip stop when ATR disabled | --- ## 🚫 Non-Repainting Architecture ### What is Repainting? **Repainting** occurs when an indicator's historical signals differ from what appeared in real-time. This makes backtesting unreliable and can lead to false confidence in a strategy. ### How This Indicator Prevents Repainting 1. **Closed Bar Analysis** - All calculations use ` ` offset (previous bar) - Only analyzes COMPLETED candles - Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar closes 2. **Confirmed Swing Points** - Waits for sufficient bar history before signaling - Only checks historical bars that cannot change - Prevents premature swing detection 3. **Static Alert Timing** - Alerts fire only after bar completion - No conditional logic that changes historically - Same results in replay mode and live trading ### Verification Method To verify non-repainting behavior: 1. Apply indicator to chart 2. Note signal locations and prices 3. Refresh browser / reload chart 4. **Signals remain in exact same locations** --- ## 💼 Trading Strategy Guidelines ### Entry Rules **For Bullish Pinbar (LONG):** 1. Wait for green triangle to appear 2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label) 3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar high 4. Place stop loss at red SL line 5. Set target at green TP line **For Bearish Pinbar (SHORT):** 1. Wait for red triangle to appear 2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label) 3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar low 4. Place stop loss at red SL line 5. Set target at green TP line ### Risk Management - **Position Sizing**: Risk only 1-2% of account per trade - **Stop Loss**: Always use the calculated SL (never move it wider) - **Take Profit**: Use calculated TP or trail stop after 1:1 RR - **Multiple Timeframes**: Confirm signals on higher timeframe ### Best Practices ✅ **DO:** - Wait for bar to close before entering - Trade in direction of higher timeframe trend - Use on liquid markets with clear support/resistance - Combine with price action analysis - Keep a trading journal ❌ **DON'T:** - Enter before bar closes (prevents seeing full pattern) - Trade against strong trends - Ignore the filters (they improve win rate) - Risk more than 2% per trade - Trade every signal (be selective) --- ## 📊 Backtesting & Data Export ### Available Data Points The indicator exports these values for strategy development: | Output | Description | |--------|-------------| | Bullish Signal | 1 = BUY signal, 0 = No signal | | Bearish Signal | 1 = SELL signal, 0 = No signal | | Bull SL | Stop loss level for long trades | | Bull TP | Take profit level for long trades | | Bull Entry | Entry price for long trades | | Bear SL | Stop loss level for short trades | | Bear TP | Take profit level for short trades | | Bear Entry | Entry price for short trades | ### How to Use in Strategy These values can be accessed by Pine Script strategies using: ```pine indicator_values = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, timeframe.period, ) ``` --- ## 🎓 Understanding the Filters ### Why Use Multiple Filters? Single-indicator systems often generate too many false signals. This indicator uses a **confluence approach**: 1. **Pinbar Pattern** = Price rejection detected 2. **+ SWING Filter** = Rejection at key level 3. **+ ATR Filter** = Significant move 4. **+ RSI Filter** = Favorable momentum **Result**: Higher probability setups with better risk:reward ### Filter Optimization **Conservative Settings** (Fewer, Higher Quality Signals): - ATR Filter: ON - Swing Candles: 5 - RSI Filter: ON - Shadow %: 75% **Aggressive Settings** (More Signals, More Noise): - ATR Filter: OFF - Swing Candles: 2 - RSI Filter: OFF - Shadow %: 65% **Balanced Settings** (Recommended): - ATR Filter: ON - Swing Candles: 3 - RSI Filter: OFF (or ON for trending markets) - Shadow %: 72% --- ## 🔍 Troubleshooting ### "No Signals Appearing" **Possible Causes:** 1.

Historical Matrix Analyzer [PhenLabs]📊Historical Matrix Analyzer Version: PineScriptv6 📌Description The Historical Matrix Analyzer is an advanced probabilistic trading tool that transforms technical analysis into a data-driven decision support system. By creating a comprehensive 56-cell matrix that tracks every combination of RSI states and multi-indicator conditions, this indicator reveals which market patterns have historically led to profitable outcomes and which have not. At its core, the indicator continuously monitors seven distinct RSI states (ranging from Extreme Oversold to Extreme Overbought) and eight unique indicator combinations (MACD direction, volume levels, and price momentum). For each of these 56 possible market states, the system calculates average forward returns, win rates, and occurrence counts based on your configurable lookback period. The result is a color-coded probability matrix that shows you exactly where you stand in the historical performance landscape. The standout feature is the Current State Panel, which provides instant clarity on your active market conditions. This panel displays signal strength classifications (from Strong Bullish to Strong Bearish), the average return percentage for similar past occurrences, an estimated win rate using Bayesian smoothing to prevent small-sample distortions, and a confidence level indicator that warns you when insufficient data exists for reliable conclusions. 🚀Points of Innovation Multi-dimensional state classification combining 7 RSI levels with 8 indicator combinations for 56 unique trackable market conditions Bayesian win rate estimation with adjustable smoothing strength to provide stable probability estimates even with limited historical samples Real-time active cell highlighting with “NOW” marker that visually connects current market conditions to their historical performance data Configurable color intensity sensitivity allowing traders to adjust heat-map responsiveness from conservative to aggressive visual feedback Dual-panel display system separating the comprehensive statistics matrix from an easy-to-read current state summary panel Intelligent confidence scoring that automatically warns traders when occurrence counts fall below reliable thresholds 🔧Core Components RSI State Classification: Segments RSI readings into 7 distinct zones (Extreme Oversold <20, Oversold 20-30, Weak 30-40, Neutral 40-60, Strong 60-70, Overbought 70-80, Extreme Overbought >80) to capture momentum extremes and transitions Multi-Indicator Condition Tracking: Simultaneously monitors MACD crossover status (bullish/bearish), volume relative to moving average (high/low), and price direction (rising/falling) creating 8 binary-encoded combinations Historical Data Storage Arrays: Maintains rolling lookback windows storing RSI states, indicator states, prices, and bar indices for precise forward-return calculations Forward Performance Calculator: Measures price changes over configurable forward bar periods (1-20 bars) from each historical state, accumulating total returns and win counts per matrix cell Bayesian Smoothing Engine: Applies statistical prior assumptions (default 50% win rate) weighted by user-defined strength parameter to stabilize estimated win rates when sample sizes are small Dynamic Color Mapping System: Converts average returns into color-coded heat map with intensity adjusted by sensitivity parameter and transparency modified by confidence levels 🔥Key Features 56-Cell Probability Matrix: Comprehensive grid displaying every possible combination of RSI state and indicator condition, with each cell showing average return percentage, estimated win rate, and occurrence count for complete statistical visibility Current State Info Panel: Dedicated display showing your exact position in the matrix with signal strength emoji indicators, numerical statistics, and color-coded confidence warnings for immediate situational awareness Customizable Lookback Period: Adjustable historical window from 50 to 500 bars allowing traders to focus on recent market behavior or capture longer-term pattern stability across different market cycles Configurable Forward Performance Window: Select target holding periods from 1 to 20 bars ahead to align probability calculations with your trading timeframe, whether day trading or swing trading Visual Heat Mapping: Color-coded cells transition from red (bearish historical performance) through gray (neutral) to green (bullish performance) with intensity reflecting statistical significance and occurrence frequency Intelligent Data Filtering: Minimum occurrence threshold (1-10) removes unreliable patterns with insufficient historical samples, displaying gray warning colors for low-confidence cells Flexible Layout Options: Independent positioning of statistics matrix and info panel to any screen corner, accommodating different chart layouts and personal preferences Tooltip Details: Hover over any matrix cell to see full RSI label, complete indicator status description, precise average return, estimated win rate, and total occurrence count 🎨Visualization Statistics Matrix Table: A 9-column by 8-row grid with RSI states labeling vertical axis and indicator combinations on horizontal axis, using compact abbreviations (XOverS, OverB, MACD↑, Vol↓, P↑) for space efficiency Active Cell Indicator: The current market state cell displays “⦿ NOW ⦿” in yellow text with enhanced color saturation to immediately draw attention to relevant historical performance Signal Strength Visualization: Info panel uses emoji indicators (🔥 Strong Bullish, ✅ Bullish, ↗️ Weak Bullish, ➖ Neutral, ↘️ Weak Bearish, ⛔ Bearish, ❄️ Strong Bearish, ⚠️ Insufficient Data) for rapid interpretation Histogram Plot: Below the price chart, a green/red histogram displays the current cell’s average return percentage, providing a time-series view of how historical performance changes as market conditions evolve Color Intensity Scaling: Cell background transparency and saturation dynamically adjust based on both the magnitude of average returns and the occurrence count, ensuring visual emphasis on reliable patterns Confidence Level Display: Info panel bottom row shows “High Confidence” (green), “Medium Confidence” (orange), or “Low Confidence” (red) based on occurrence counts relative to minimum threshold multipliers 📖Usage Guidelines RSI Period Default: 14 Range: 1 to unlimited Description: Controls the lookback period for RSI momentum calculation. Standard 14-period provides widely-recognized overbought/oversold levels. Decrease for faster, more sensitive RSI reactions suitable for scalping. Increase (21, 28) for smoother, longer-term momentum assessment in swing trading. Changes affect how quickly the indicator moves between the 7 RSI state classifications. MACD Fast Length Default: 12 Range: 1 to unlimited Description: Sets the faster exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Standard 12-period setting works well for daily charts and captures short-term momentum shifts. Decreasing creates more responsive MACD crossovers but increases false signals. Increasing smooths out noise but delays signal generation, affecting the bullish/bearish indicator state classification. MACD Slow Length Default: 26 Range: 1 to unlimited Description: Defines the slower exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Traditional 26-period setting balances trend identification with responsiveness. Must be greater than Fast Length. Wider spread between fast and slow increases MACD sensitivity to trend changes, impacting the frequency of indicator state transitions in the matrix. MACD Signal Length Default: 9 Range: 1 to unlimited Description: Smoothing period for the MACD signal line that triggers bullish/bearish state changes. Standard 9-period provides reliable crossover signals. Shorter values create more frequent state changes and earlier signals but with more whipsaws. Longer values produce more confirmed, stable signals but with increased lag in detecting momentum shifts. Volume MA Period Default: 20 Range: 1 to unlimited Description: Lookback period for volume moving average used to classify volume as “high” or “low” in indicator state combinations. 20-period default captures typical monthly trading patterns. Shorter periods (10-15) make volume classification more reactive to recent spikes. Longer periods (30-50) require more sustained volume changes to trigger state classification shifts. Statistics Lookback Period Default: 200 Range: 50 to 500 Description: Number of historical bars used to calculate matrix statistics. 200 bars provides substantial data for reliable patterns while remaining responsive to regime changes. Lower values (50-100) emphasize recent market behavior and adapt quickly but may produce volatile statistics. Higher values (300-500) capture long-term patterns with stable statistics but slower adaptation to changing market dynamics. Forward Performance Bars Default: 5 Range: 1 to 20 Description: Number of bars ahead used to calculate forward returns from each historical state occurrence. 5-bar default suits intraday to short-term swing trading (5 hours on hourly charts, 1 week on daily charts). Lower values (1-3) target short-term momentum trades. Higher values (10-20) align with position trading and longer-term pattern exploitation. Color Intensity Sensitivity Default: 2.0 Range: 0.5 to 5.0, step 0.5 Description: Amplifies or dampens the color intensity response to average return magnitudes in the matrix heat map. 2.0 default provides balanced visual emphasis. Lower values (0.5-1.0) create subtle coloring requiring larger returns for full saturation, useful for volatile instruments. Higher values (3.0-5.0) produce vivid colors from smaller returns, highlighting subtle edges in range-bound markets. Minimum Occurrences for Coloring Default: 3 Range: 1 to 10 Description: Required minimum sample size before applying color-coded performance to matrix cells. Cells with fewer occurrences display gray “insufficient data” warning. 3-occurrence default filters out rare patterns. Lower threshold (1-2) shows more data but includes unreliable single-event statistics. Higher thresholds (5-10) ensure only well-established patterns receive visual emphasis. Table Position Default: top_right Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right Description: Screen location for the 56-cell statistics matrix table. Position to avoid overlapping critical price action or other indicators on your chart. Consider chart orientation and candlestick density when selecting optimal placement. Show Current State Panel Default: true Options: true, false Description: Toggle visibility of the dedicated current state information panel. When enabled, displays signal strength, RSI value, indicator status, average return, estimated win rate, and confidence level for active market conditions. Disable to declutter charts when only the matrix table is needed. Info Panel Position Default: bottom_left Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right Description: Screen location for the current state information panel (when enabled). Position independently from statistics matrix to optimize chart real estate. Typically placed opposite the matrix table for balanced visual layout. Win Rate Smoothing Strength Default: 5 Range: 1 to 20 Description: Controls Bayesian prior weighting for estimated win rate calculations. Acts as virtual sample size assuming 50% win rate baseline. Default 5 provides moderate smoothing preventing extreme win rate estimates from small samples. Lower values (1-3) reduce smoothing effect, allowing win rates to reflect raw data more directly. Higher values (10-20) increase conservatism, pulling win rate estimates toward 50% until substantial evidence accumulates. ✅Best Use Cases Pattern-based discretionary trading where you want historical confirmation before entering setups that “look good” based on current technical alignment Swing trading with holding periods matching your forward performance bar setting, using high-confidence bullish cells as entry filters Risk assessment and position sizing, allocating larger size to trades originating from cells with strong positive average returns and high estimated win rates Market regime identification by observing which RSI states and indicator combinations are currently producing the most reliable historical patterns Backtesting validation by comparing your manual strategy signals against the historical performance of the corresponding matrix cells Educational tool for developing intuition about which technical condition combinations have actually worked versus those that feel right but lack historical evidence ⚠️Limitations Historical patterns do not guarantee future performance, especially during unprecedented market events or regime changes not represented in the lookback period Small sample sizes (low occurrence counts) produce unreliable statistics despite Bayesian smoothing, requiring caution when acting on low-confidence cells Matrix statistics lag behind rapidly changing market conditions, as the lookback period must accumulate new state occurrences before updating performance data Forward return calculations use fixed bar periods that may not align with actual trade exit timing, support/resistance levels, or volatility-adjusted profit targets 💡What Makes This Unique Multi-Dimensional State Space: Unlike single-indicator tools, simultaneously tracks 56 distinct market condition combinations providing granular pattern resolution unavailable in traditional technical analysis Bayesian Statistical Rigor: Implements proper probabilistic smoothing to prevent overconfidence from limited data, a critical feature missing from most pattern recognition tools Real-Time Contextual Feedback: The “NOW” marker and dedicated info panel instantly connect current market conditions to their historical performance profile, eliminating guesswork Transparent Occurrence Counts: Displays sample sizes directly in each cell, allowing traders to judge statistical reliability themselves rather than hiding data quality issues Fully Customizable Analysis Window: Complete control over lookback depth and forward return horizons lets traders align the tool precisely with their trading timeframe and strategy requirements 🔬How It Works 1. State Classification and Encoding Each bar’s RSI value is evaluated and assigned to one of 7 discrete states based on threshold levels (0: <20, 1: 20-30, 2: 30-40, 3: 40-60, 4: 60-70, 5: 70-80, 6: >80) Simultaneously, three binary conditions are evaluated: MACD line position relative to signal line, current volume relative to its moving average, and current close relative to previous close These three binary conditions are combined into a single indicator state integer (0-7) using binary encoding, creating 8 possible indicator combinations The RSI state and indicator state are stored together, defining one of 56 possible market condition cells in the matrix 2. Historical Data Accumulation As each bar completes, the current state classification, closing price, and bar index are stored in rolling arrays maintained at the size specified by the lookback period When the arrays reach capacity, the oldest data point is removed and the newest added, creating a sliding historical window This continuous process builds a comprehensive database of past market conditions and their subsequent price movements 3. Forward Return Calculation and Statistics Update On each bar, the indicator looks back through the stored historical data to find bars where sufficient forward bars exist to measure outcomes For each historical occurrence, the price change from that bar to the bar N periods ahead (where N is the forward performance bars setting) is calculated as a percentage return This percentage return is added to the cumulative return total for the specific matrix cell corresponding to that historical bar’s state classification Occurrence counts are incremented, and wins are tallied for positive returns, building comprehensive statistics for each of the 56 cells The Bayesian smoothing formula combines these raw statistics with prior assumptions (neutral 50% win rate) weighted by the smoothing strength parameter to produce estimated win rates that remain stable even with small samples 💡Note: The Historical Matrix Analyzer is designed as a decision support tool, not a standalone trading system. Best results come from using it to validate discretionary trade ideas or filter systematic strategy signals. Always combine matrix insights with proper risk management, position sizing rules, and awareness of broader market context. The estimated win rate feature uses Bayesian statistics specifically to prevent false confidence from limited data, but no amount of smoothing can create reliable predictions from fundamentally insufficient sample sizes. Focus on high-confidence cells (green-colored confidence indicators) with occurrence counts well above your minimum threshold for the most actionable insights.

Magic Volume - Projected [MW]Magic Volume – Projected This lower-pane volume tool estimates the full-bar volume before the bar closes by measuring the current bar’s elapsed time and the rate of incoming volume. It then contrasts that “expected volume” against typical activity and recent momentum to spotlight potential burst conditions (breakout/acceleration), color-codes the live volume stream, and annotates when the projected surge is likely bullish or bearish based on bar structure and recent highs/lows. Settings Projected / Expected Volume Moving Average: EMA length used for volume baseline comparisons. (Default: 14) Minimum Volume: Hard floor the bar’s raw volume must exceed to qualify as notable. (Default: 10,000) Consecutive Volume Above 14 EMA: Count required for “sustained” high-volume context. (Default: 3) Stochastic Volume Burst Stochastic Length: Window for the Stochastic calculation on volume. (Default: 8) Smoothing: Smoothing applied to Stochastic volume and its signal. (Default: 3) Stochastic Volume Breakout Threshold: Level above which Stochastic volume is considered a breakout. (Default: 20) Volume Bar Increase Amount: Multiplier the current bar’s volume must exceed vs. prior bar to be considered a “burst.” (Default: 1.618) Plotted Items Expected Volume (columns): Magenta columns projecting the full-bar volume from intrabar rate. Turns lime when a high expected-volume condition aligns with bullish bar structure; turns red under analogous bearish conditions. Actual Volume (columns): Live volume columns, color-coded by state:  • Blue = baseline;  • Orange = “burst” (volume rising fast above prior × factor and above baseline);  • Yellow = “burst at breakout” (burst + Stochastic volume breakout);  • Light Blue = Stochastic breakout only. Volume EMA (line): Yellow EMA for baseline comparison (default 14). Calculations Compute elapsed time in the current bar (ms → seconds) and convert the current bar’s accumulated volume into a rate (volume per second). Project full-bar Expected Volume = (volume so far / seconds elapsed) × bar-seconds. Compute Volume EMA (default 14) for baseline; derive Stochastic(volume, length) and smoothed signal for momentum. Define “Burst” conditions:  • Volume > prior volume × Volume Bar Increase Amount;  • Volume > Minimum Volume;  • Volume > Volume EMA;  • Stochastic(volume) rising and/or above threshold. Classify “Burst at Breakout” when Burst aligns with Stochastic crossover above the Breakout Threshold. Classify Bullish/Bearish Expected Volume: if Expected Volume is ≥ 1.618 × prior bar volume and prior volume > Volume EMA, then:  • Bullish if bar is green with a rising low;  • Bearish if bar is red with a falling high. Color-map actual volume columns by state; overlay Expected Volume columns (magenta) and paint conditional overlays (lime/red) when directional context is detected. How to Use Spot the Surge Early When Expected Volume spikes well above typical (and especially above ~1.618× the prior bar) before the bar closes, it often precedes a volatile move. Use this to prepare entries with tight, structure-based risk (e.g., just beyond the current bar’s wick) and asymmetric targets. Confirm with Momentum Yellow/orange volume columns indicate burst/breakout behavior in the live tape. When this aligns with a lime (bullish) or red (bearish) Expected Volume column, the probability of follow-through improves—particularly if aligned with prevailing trend or key levels. Context Matters Combine with your preferred S/R or structure tools (e.g., order blocks, channels, VWAP) to avoid chasing into obvious supply/demand. The projected surge can mark both continuations and sharp reversals depending on location and broader context. Alerts High Expected Volume – Bullish: When projected volume surges and the price action meets bullish conditions (green body with rising low). High Expected Volume – Bearish: When projected volume surges and the price action meets bearish conditions (red body with falling high). Other Usage Notes and Limitations Projected volume depends on intrabar pace; abrupt pauses/flushes can change the projection quickly, especially on very small timeframes. Minimum Volume and EMA baselines help filter thin markets; adjust upward on illiquid symbols to reduce noise. A rising projection does not pick direction on its own—directional coloring (lime/red) requires price-action confirmation; otherwise treat magenta projections as “heads-up” only. As with any single indicator, use within a broader plan (risk management, structure, confluence) to mitigate false positives and improve selectivity.

US Opening 5-Minute Candle HighlighterUS Opening 5-Minute Candle Highlighter — True RVOL (Two-Tier + Label) What it does (in plain English) This indicator finds the first 5-minute bar of the US cash session (09:30–09:35 ET) and highlights it when the candle has the specific “strong open” look you want: Opens near the low of its own range, and Closes near the high of its own range, and Has a decisive real body (not a wick-y doji), and (Optionally) is a green candle, and Meets a TRUE opening-bar RVOL filter (compares today’s 09:30–09:35 volume only to prior sessions’ 09:30–09:35 volumes). You get two visual intensities based on opening RVOL: Tier-1 (≥ threshold 1, default 1.0×) → light green highlight + lime arrow Tier-2 (≥ threshold 2, default 1.5×) → darker green highlight + green arrow An RVOL label (e.g., RVOL 1.84x) can be shown above or below the opening bar. Designed for 5-minute charts. On other timeframes the “opening bar” will be the bar that starts at 09:30 on that timeframe (e.g., 15-minute 09:30–09:45). For best results keep the chart on 5m. How the pattern is defined For the opening 5-minute bar, we compute: Range = high − low Body = |close − open| Then we measure where the open and close sit within the bar’s own range on a 0→1 scale: 0 means exactly at the low 1 means exactly at the high Using two quantiles: Open ≤ position in range (0–1) (default 0.20) Example: 0.20 means “open must be in the lowest 20% of the bar’s range.” Close ≥ position in range (0–1) (default 0.80) Example: 0.80 means “close must be in the top 20% of the bar’s range.” This keeps the logic range-normalized so it adapts across different tickers and vol regimes (you’re not using fixed cents or % of price). Body ≥ fraction of range (0–1) (default 0.55) Requires the real body to be at least that fraction of the total range. 0.55 = body fills ≥ 55% of the candle. Purpose: filter out indecisive, wick-heavy bars. Raise to 0.7–0.8 for only the fattest thrusts; lower to 0.3–0.4 to admit more bars. Require green candle? (default ON) If ON, close > open must be true. Turn OFF if you also want to catch strong red opens for shorts. Minimum range (ticks) Ignore tiny, illiquid opens: e.g., set to 2–5 ticks to suppress micro bars. TRUE Opening-Bar RVOL (why it’s “true”) Most “RVOL” compares against any recent bars, which isn’t fair at the open. This indicator calculates only against prior opening bars: At 09:30–09:35 ET, take today’s opening 5-minute volume. Compare it to the average of the last N sessions’ opening 5-minute volumes. RVOL = today_open_volume / average_prior_open_volumes. So: 1.0× = equal to average prior opens. 1.5× = 150% of average prior opens. 2.0× = double the typical opening participation. A minimum prior samples guard (default 10) ensures you don’t judge with too little history. Until enough samples exist, the RVOL gate won’t pass (you can disable RVOL temporarily if needed). Visuals & tiers Light green highlight + lime arrow → price filters pass and RVOL ≥ Tier-1 (default 1.0×) Dark green highlight + green arrow → price filters pass and RVOL ≥ Tier-2 (default 1.5×) Optional bar paint in matching green tones for extra visibility. Optional RVOL label (e.g., RVOL 1.84x) above or below the opening bar. You can show the label only when the candle qualifies, or on every open. Inputs (step-by-step) Price-action filters Open ≤ position in range (0–1): default 0.20. Smaller = stricter (must open nearer the low). Close ≥ position in range (0–1): default 0.80. Larger = stricter (must close nearer the high). Body ≥ fraction of range (0–1): default 0.55. Raise to demand a “fatter” body. Require green candle?: default ON. Turn OFF to also mark bearish thrusts. Minimum range (ticks): default 0. Set to 2–5 for liquid mid/large caps. Time settings Timezone: default America/New_York. Leave as is for US equities. Start hour / minute: defaults 09:30. The bar that starts at this time is evaluated. TRUE Opening-Bar RVOL (two-tier) Require TRUE opening-bar RVOL?: ON = must pass Tier-1 to highlight; OFF = price filters alone can highlight (still shows Tier-2 when hit). RVOL lookback (prior opens count): default 20. How many prior openings to average. Min prior opens required: default 10. Warm-up guard. Tier-1 RVOL threshold (× avg): default 1.00× (light green). Tier-2 RVOL threshold (× avg): default 1.50× (dark green). Display Also paint candle body?: OFF by default. Turn ON for instant visibility on a chart wall. Arrow size: tiny/small/normal/large. Light/Dark opacity: tune highlight strength. Show RVOL label?: ON/OFF. Show label only when candle qualifies?: ON by default; OFF to see RVOL every open. Label position: Above candle or Below candle. Label size: tiny/small/normal/large. How to use (quick start) Apply to a 5-minute chart. Keep defaults: Open ≤ 0.20, Close ≥ 0.80, Body ≥ 0.55, Require green ON. Turn RVOL required ON, with Tier-1 = 1.0×, Tier-2 = 1.5×, Lookback = 20, Min prior = 10. Optional: enable Paint bar and set Arrow size = large for monitor-wall visibility. Optional: show RVOL label below the bar to keep wicks clean. Interpretation: Dark green = A+ opening thrust with strong participation (≥ Tier-2). Light green = Valid opening thrust with at least average participation (≥ Tier-1). No highlight = one or more filters failed (quantiles, body, green, range, or RVOL if required). Alerts Two alert conditions are included: Opening 5m Match — Tier-2 RVOL → fires when the opening candle passes price filters and RVOL ≥ Tier-2. Opening 5m Match — Tier-1 RVOL → fires when the opening candle passes price filters and RVOL ≥ Tier-1 (but < Tier-2). Recommended alert settings Condition: choose the script + desired tier. Options: Once Per Bar Close (you want the confirmed 09:30–09:35 bar). Set your watchlist to symbols of interest (themes/sectors) and let the alerts pull you to the right charts. Recommended starting values Quantiles: Open ≤ 0.20, Close ≥ 0.80 Body fraction: 0.55 Require green: ON RVOL: Required ON, Tier-1 = 1.0×, Tier-2 = 1.5×, Lookback 20, Min prior 10 Display: Paint bar ON, Arrow large, Label ON, Below candle Tune tighter for A-plus selectivity: Open ≤ 0.15, Close ≥ 0.85, Body ≥ 0.65, Tier-2 2.0×. Notes, tips & limitations 5-minute timeframe is the intended use. On higher TFs, the 09:30 bar spans more than 5 minutes; geometry may not reflect the first 5 minutes alone. RTH only: The opening detection looks at the clock (09:30 ET). Pre-market bars are ignored for the signal and for RVOL history. Warm-up period: Until you have Min prior opens required samples, the RVOL gate won’t pass. You can temporarily toggle RVOL off. DST & timezone: Leave timezone on America/New_York for US equities. If you trade non-US exchanges, set the appropriate TZ and opening time. Illiquid tickers: Use Minimum range (ticks) and require RVOL to reduce noise. No strategy orders: This is a visual/alert tool. Combine with your execution and risk plan. Why this is useful on multi-monitor setups Instant pattern recognition: the two-shade green makes A vs A+ opens pop at a glance. Adaptive thresholds: quantiles & body are within-bar, so it works across $5 and $500 names. Fair volume test: TRUE opening RVOL avoids comparing to pre-market or midday bars. Optional labels: glanceable RVOL x-value helps triage the strongest themes quickly.

Hour/Day/Month Optimizer [CHE] Hour/Day/Month Optimizer — Bucketed seasonality ranking for hours, weekdays, and months with additive or compounded returns, win rate, simple Sharpe proxy, and trade counts Summary This indicator profiles time-of-day, day-of-week, and month-of-year behavior by assigning every bar to a bucket and accumulating its return into that bucket. It reports per-bucket score (additive or compounded), win rate, a dispersion-aware return proxy, and trade counts, then ranks buckets and highlights the current one if it is best or worst. A compact on-chart table shows the top buckets or the full ranking; a last-bar label summarizes best and worst. Optional hour filtering and UTC shifting let you align buckets with your trading session rather than exchange time. Motivation: Why this design? Traders often see repetitive timing effects but struggle to separate genuine seasonality from noise. Static averages are easily distorted by sample size, compounding, or volatility spikes. The core idea here is simple, explicit bucket aggregation with user-controlled accumulation (sum or compound) and transparent quality metrics (win rate, a dispersion-aware proxy, and counts). The result is a practical, legible seasonality surface that can be used for scheduling and filtering rather than prediction. What’s different vs. standard approaches? Reference baseline: Simple heatmaps or average-return tables that ignore compounding, dispersion, or sample size. Architecture differences: Dual aggregation modes: additive sum of bar returns or compounded factor. Per-bucket win rate and trade count to expose sample support. A simple dispersion-aware return proxy to penalize unstable averages. UTC offset and optional custom hour window. Deterministic, closed-bar rendering via a lightweight on-chart table. Practical effect: You see not only which buckets look strong but also whether the observation is supported by enough bars and whether stability is acceptable. The background tint and last-bar label give immediate context for the current bucket. How it works (technical) Each bar is assigned to a bucket based on the selected dimension (hour one to twenty-four, weekday one to seven, or month one to twelve) after applying the UTC shift. An optional hour filter can exclude bars outside a chosen window. For each bucket the script accumulates either the sum of simple returns or the compounded product of bar factors. It also counts bars and wins, where a win is any bar with a non-negative return. From these, it derives: Score: additive total or compounded total minus the neutral baseline. Win rate: wins as a percentage of bars in the bucket. Dispersion-aware proxy (“Sharpe” column): a crude ratio that rises when average return improves and falls when variability increases. Buckets are sorted by a user-selected key (score, win rate, dispersion proxy, or trade count). The current bar’s bucket is tinted if it matches the global best or worst. At the last bar, a table is drawn with headers, an optional info row, and either the top three or all rows, using zebra backgrounds and color-coding (lime for best, red for worst). Rendering is last-bar only; no higher-timeframe data is requested, and no future data is referenced. Parameter Guide UTC Offset (hours) — Shifts bucket assignment relative to exchange time. Default: zero. Tip: Align to your local or desk session. Use Custom Hours — Enables a local session window. Default: off. Trade-off: Reduces noise outside your active hours but lowers sample size. Start / End — Inclusive hour window one to twenty-four. Defaults: eight to seventeen. Tip: Widen if rankings look unstable. Aggregation — “Additive” sums bar returns; “Multiplicative” compounds them. Default: Additive. Tip: Use compounded for long-horizon bias checks. Dimension — Bucket by Hour, Day, or Month. Default: Hour. Tip: Start Hour for intraday planning; switch to Day or Month for scheduling. Show — “Top Three” or “All”. Default: Top Three. Trade-off: Clarity vs. completeness. Sort By — Score, Win Rate, Sharpe, or Trades. Default: Score. Tip: Use Trades to surface stable buckets; use Win Rate for skew awareness. X / Y — Table anchor. Defaults: right / top. Tip: Move away from price clusters. Text — Table text size. Default: normal. Light Mode — Light palette for bright charts. Default: off. Show Parameters Row — Info header with dimension and span. Default: on. Highlight Current Bucket if Best/Worst — Background tint when current bucket matches extremes. Default: on. Best/Worst Barcolor — Tint colors. Defaults: lime / red. Mark Best/Worst on Last Bar — Summary label on the last bar. Default: on. Reading & Interpretation Score column: Higher suggests stronger cumulative behavior for the chosen aggregation. Compounded mode emphasizes persistence; additive mode treats all bars equally. Win Rate: Stability signal; very high with very low trades is unreliable. “Sharpe” column: A quick stability proxy; use it to down-rank buckets that look good on score but fluctuate heavily. Trades: Sample size. Prefer buckets with adequate counts for your timeframe and asset. Tinting: If the current bucket is globally best, expect a lime background; if worst, red. This is context, not a trade signal. Practical Workflows & Combinations Trend following: Use Hour or Day to avoid initiating trades during historically weak buckets; require structure confirmation such as higher highs and higher lows, plus a momentum or volatility filter. Mean reversion: Prefer buckets with moderate scores but acceptable win rate and dispersion proxy; combine with deviation bands or volume normalization. Exits/Stops: Tighten exits during historically weak buckets; relax slightly during strong ones, but keep absolute risk controls independent of the table. Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Start with Hour on liquid intraday assets; for swing, use Day. On monthly seasonality, require larger lookbacks to avoid overfitting. Behavior, Constraints & Performance Repaint/confirmation: Calculations use completed bars only; table and label are drawn on the last bar and can update intrabar until close. security()/HTF: None used; repaint risk limited to normal live-bar updates. Resources: Arrays per dimension, light loops for metric building and sorting, `max_bars_back` two thousand, and capped label/table counts. Known limits: Sensitive to sample size and regime shifts; ignores costs and slippage; bar-based wins can mislead on assets with frequent gaps; compounded mode can over-weight streaks. Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning Start: Hour dimension, Additive, Top Three, Sort by Score, default session window off. Too many flips: Switch to Sort by Trades or raise sample by widening hours or timeframe. Too sluggish/over-smoothed: Switch to Additive (if on compounded) or shorten your chart timeframe while keeping the same dimension. Overfit risk: Prefer “All” view to verify that top buckets are not isolated with tiny counts; use Day or Month only with long histories. What this indicator is—and isn’t This is a seasonality and scheduling layer that ranks time buckets using transparent arithmetic and simple stability checks. It is not a predictive model, not a complete trading system, and it does not manage risk. Use it to plan when to engage, then rely on structure, confirmation, and independent risk management for entries and exits.

Extreme Pressure Zones Indicator (EPZ) [BullByte]Extreme Pressure Zones Indicator(EPZ) The Extreme Pressure Zones (EPZ) Indicator is a proprietary market analysis tool designed to highlight potential overbought and oversold "pressure zones" in any financial chart. It does this by combining several unique measurements of price action and volume into a single, bounded oscillator (0–100). Unlike simple momentum or volatility indicators, EPZ captures multiple facets of market pressure: price rejection, trend momentum, supply/demand imbalance, and institutional (smart money) flow. This is not a random mashup of generic indicators; each component was chosen and weighted to reveal extreme market conditions that often precede reversals or strong continuations. What it is? EPZ estimates buying/selling pressure and highlights potential extreme zones with a single, bounded 0–100 oscillator built from four normalized components. Context-aware weighting adapts to volatility, trendiness, and relative volume. Visual tools include adaptive thresholds, confirmed-on-close extremes, divergence, an MTF dashboard, and optional gradient candles. Purpose and originality (not a mashup) Purpose: Identify when pressure is building or reaching potential extremes while filtering noise across regimes and symbols. Originality: EPZ integrates price rejection, momentum cascade, pressure distribution, and smart money flow into one bounded scale with context-aware weighting. It is not a cosmetic mashup of public indicators. Why a trader might use EPZ EPZ provides a multi-dimensional gauge of market extremes that standalone indicators may miss. Traders might use it to: Spot Reversals: When EPZ enters an "Extreme High" zone (high red), it implies selling pressure might soon dominate. This can hint at a topside reversal or at least a pause in rallies. Conversely, "Extreme Low" (green) can highlight bottom-fish opportunities. The indicator's divergence module (optional) also finds hidden bullish/bearish divergences between price and EPZ, a clue that price momentum is weakening. Measure Momentum Shifts: Because EPZ blends momentum and volume, it reacts faster than many single metrics. A rising MPO indicates building bullish pressure, while a falling MPO shows increasing bearish pressure. Traders can use this like a refined RSI: above 50 means bullish bias, below 50 means bearish bias, but with context provided by the thresholds. Filter Trades: In trend-following systems, one could require EPZ to be in the bullish (green) zone before taking longs, or avoid new trades when EPZ is extreme. In mean-reversion systems, one might specifically look to fade extremes flagged by EPZ. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: The dashboard can fetch a higher timeframe EPZ value. For example, you might trade a 15-minute chart only when the 60-minute EPZ agrees on pressure direction. Components and how they're combined Rejection (PRV) – Captures price rejection based on candle wicks and volume (see Price Rejection Volume). Momentum Cascade (MCD) – Blends multiple momentum periods (3,5,8,13) into a normalized momentum score. Pressure Distribution (PDI) – Measures net buy/sell pressure by comparing volume on up vs down candles. Smart Money Flow (SMF) – An adaptation of money flow index that emphasizes unusual volume spikes. Each of these components produces a 0–100 value (higher means more bullish pressure). They are then weighted and averaged into the final Market Pressure Oscillator (MPO), which is smoothed and scaled. By combining these four views, EPZ stands out as a comprehensive pressure gauge – the whole is greater than the sum of parts Context-aware weighting: Higher volatility → more PRV weight Trendiness up (RSI of ATR > 25) → more MCD weight Relative volume > 1.2x → more PDI weight SMF holds a stable weight The weighted average is smoothed and scaled into MPO ∈ with 50 as the neutral midline. What makes EPZ stand out Four orthogonal inputs (price action, momentum, pressure, flow) unified in a single bounded oscillator with consistent thresholds. Adaptive thresholds (optional) plus robust extreme detection that also triggers on crossovers, so static thresholds work reliably too. Confirm Extremes on Bar Close (default ON): dots/arrows/labels/alerts print on closed bars to avoid repaint confusion. Clean dashboard, divergence tools, pre-alerts, and optional on-price gradients. Visual 3D layering uses offsets for depth only,no lookahead. Recommended markets and timeframes Best: liquid symbols (index futures, large-cap equities, major FX, BTC/ETH). Timeframes: 5–15m (more signals; consider higher thresholds), 1H–4H (balanced), 1D (clear regimes). Use caution on illiquid or very low TFs where wick/volume geometry is erratic. Logic and thresholds MPO ∈ ; 50 = neutral. Above 50 = bullish pressure; below 50 = bearish. Static thresholds (defaults): thrHigh = 70, thrLow = 30; warning bands 5 pts inside extremes (65/35). Adaptive thresholds (optional): thrHigh = min(BaseHigh + 5, mean(MPO,100) + stdev(MPO,100) × ExtremeSensitivity) thrLow = max(BaseLow − 5, mean(MPO,100) − stdev(MPO,100) × ExtremeSensitivity) Extreme detection High: MPO ≥ thrHigh with peak/slope or crossover filter. Low: MPO ≤ thrLow with trough/slope or crossover filter. Cooldown: 5 bars (default). A new extreme will not print until the cooldown elapses, even if MPO re-enters the zone. Confirmation "Confirm Extremes on Bar Close" (default ON) gates extreme markers, pre-alerts, and alerts to closed bars (non-repainting). Divergences Pivot-based bullish/bearish divergence; tags appear only after left/right bars elapse (lookbackPivot). MTF HTF MPO retrieved with lookahead_off; values can update intrabar and finalize at HTF close. This is disclosed and expected. Inputs and defaults (key ones) Core: Sensitivity=1.0; Analysis Period=14; Smoothing=3; Adaptive Thresholds=OFF. Extremes: Base High=70, Base Low=30; Extreme Sensitivity=1.5; Confirm Extremes on Bar Close=ON; Cooldown=5; Dot size Small/Tiny. Visuals: Heatmap ON; 3D depth optional; Strength bars ON; Pre-alerts OFF; Divergences ON with tags ON; Gradient candles OFF; Glow ON. Dashboard: ON; Position=Top Right; Size=Normal; MTF ON; HTF=60m; compact overlay table on price chart. Advanced caps: Max Oscillator Labels=80; Max Extreme Guide Lines=80; Divergence objects=60. Dashboard: what each element means Header: EPZ ANALYSIS. Large readout: Current MPO; color reflects state (extreme, approaching, or neutral). Status badge: "Extreme High/Low", "Approaching High/Low", "Bullish/Neutral/Bearish". HTF cell (when MTF ON): Higher-timeframe MPO, color-coded vs extremes; updates intrabar, settles at HTF close. Predicted (when MTF OFF): Simple MPO extrapolation using momentum/acceleration—illustrative only. Thresholds: Current thrHigh/thrLow (static or adaptive). Components: ASCII bars + values for PRV, MCD, PDI, SMF. Market metrics: Volume Ratio (x) and ATR% of price. Strength: Bar indicator of |MPO − 50| × 2. Confidence: Heuristic gauge (100 in extremes, 70 in warnings, 50 with divergence, else |MPO − 50|). Convenience only, not probability. How to read the oscillator MPO Value (0–100): A reading of 50 is neutral. Values above ~55 are increasingly bullish (green), while below ~45 are increasingly bearish (red). Think of these as "market pressure". Extreme Zones: When MPO climbs into the bright orange/red area (above the base-high line, default 70), the chart will display a dot and downward arrow marking that extreme. Traders often treat this as a sign to tighten stops or look for shorts. Similarly, a bright green dot/up-arrow appears when MPO falls below the base-low (30), hinting at a bullish setup. Heatmap/Candles: If "Pressure Heatmap" is enabled, the background of the oscillator pane will fade green or red depending on MPO. Users can optionally color the price candles by MPO value (gradient candles) to see these extremes on the main chart. Prediction Zone(optional): A dashed projection line extends the MPO forward by a small number of bars (prediction_bars) using current MPO momentum and acceleration. This is a heuristic extrapolation best used for short horizons (1–5 bars) to anticipate whether MPO may touch a warning or extreme zone. It is provisional and becomes less reliable with longer projection lengths — always confirm predicted moves with bar-close MPO and HTF context before acting. Divergences: When price makes a higher high but EPZ makes a lower high (bearish divergence), the indicator can draw dotted lines and a "Bear Div" tag. The opposite (lower low price, higher EPZ) gives "Bull Div". These signals confirm waning momentum at extremes. Zones: Warning bands near extremes; Extreme zones beyond thresholds. Crossovers: MPO rising through 35 suggests easing downside pressure; falling through 65 suggests waning upside pressure. Dots/arrows: Extreme markers appear on closed bars when confirmation is ON and respect the 5-bar cooldown. Pre-alert dots (optional): Proximity cues in warning zones; also gated to bar close when confirmation is ON. Histogram: Distance from neutral (50); highlights strengthening or weakening pressure. Divergence tags: "Bear Div" = higher price high with lower MPO high; "Bull Div" = lower price low with higher MPO low. Pressure Heatmap : Layered gradient background that visually highlights pressure strength across the MPO scale; adjustable intensity and optional zone overlays (warning / extreme) for quick visual scanning. A typical reading: If the oscillator is rising from neutral towards the high zone (green→orange→red), the chart may see strong buying culminating in a stall. If it then turns down from the extreme, that peak EPZ dot signals sell pressure. Alerts EPZ: Extreme Context — fires on confirmed extremes (respects cooldown). EPZ: Approaching Threshold — fires in warning zones if no extreme. EPZ: Divergence — fires on confirmed pivot divergences. Tip: Set alerts to "Once per bar close" to align with confirmation and avoid intrabar repaint. Practical usage ideas Trend continuation: In positive regimes (MPO > 50 and rising), pullbacks holding above 50 often precede continuation; mirror for bearish regimes. Exhaustion caution: E High/E Low can mark exhaustion risk; many wait for MPO rollover or divergence to time fades or partial exits. Adaptive thresholds: Useful on assets with shifting volatility regimes to maintain meaningful "extreme" levels. MTF alignment: Prefer setups that agree with the HTF MPO to reduce countertrend noise. Examples Screenshots captured in TradingView Replay to freeze the bar at close so values don't fluctuate intrabar. These examples use default settings and are reproducible on the same bars; they are for illustration, not cherry-picking or performance claims. Example 1 — BTCUSDT, 1h — E Low MPO closed at 26.6 (below the 30 extreme), printing a confirmed E Low. HTF MPO is 26.6, so higher-timeframe pressure remains bearish. Components are subdued (Momentum/Pressure/Smart$ ≈ 29–37), with Vol Ratio ≈ 1.19x and ATR% ≈ 0.37%. A prior Bear Div flagged weakening impulse into the drop. With cooldown set to 5 bars, new extremes are rate-limited. Many traders wait for MPO to curl up and reclaim 35 or for a fresh Bull Div before considering countertrend ideas; if MPO cannot reclaim 35 and HTF stays weak, treat bounces cautiously. Educational illustration only. Example 2 — ETHUSD, 30m — E High A strong impulse pushed MPO into the extreme zone (≥ 70), printing a confirmed E High on close. Shortly after, MPO cooled to ~61.5 while a Bear Div appeared, showing momentum lag as price pushed a higher high. Volume and volatility were elevated (≈ 1.79x / 1.25%). With a 5-bar cooldown, additional extremes won't print immediately. Some treat E High as exhaustion risk—either waiting for MPO rollover under 65/50 to fade, or for a pullback that holds above 50 to re-join the trend if higher-timeframe pressure remains constructive. Educational illustration only. Known limitations and caveats The MPO line itself can change intrabar; extreme markers/alerts do not repaint when "Confirm Extremes on Bar Close" is ON. HTF values settle at the close of the HTF bar. Illiquid symbols or very low TFs can be noisy; consider higher thresholds or longer smoothing. Prediction line (when enabled) is a visual extrapolation only. For coders Pine v6. MTF via request.security with lookahead_off. Extremes include crossover triggers so static thresholds also yield E High/E Low. Extreme markers and pre-alerts are gated by barstate.isconfirmed when confirmation is ON. Arrays prune oldest objects to respect resource limits; defaults (80/80/60) are conservative for low TFs. 3D layering uses negative offsets purely for drawing depth (no lookahead). Screenshot methodology: To make labels legible and to demonstrate non-repainting behavior, the examples were captured in TradingView Replay with "Confirm Extremes on Bar Close" enabled. Replay is used only to freeze the bar at close so plots don't change intrabar. The examples use default settings, include both Extreme Low and Extreme High cases, and can be reproduced by scrolling to the same bars outside Replay.

Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) [KedArc Quant]Description: Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) trades with the latest confirmed Supply/Demand zone using a single, configurable Fib pullback (0.3/0.5/0.6). Trade only in the direction of the most recent zone and use a single, configurable fib level for pullback entries. • Detects market structure via confirmed swing highs/lows using a rolling window. • Draws Supply/Demand zones (bearish/bullish rectangles) from the latest MSS (CHOCH or BOS) event. • Computes intra zone Fib guide rails and keeps them extended in real time. • Triggers BUY only inside bullish zones and SELL only inside bearish zones when price touches the selected fib and closes back beyond it (bounce confirmation). • Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + fib next to the triangle markers. What it does Finds structure using confirmed swing highs/lows (you choose the confirmation length). Builds the latest zone (bullish = demand, bearish = supply) after a CHOCH/BOS event. Draws intra-zone “guide rails” (Fib lines) and extends them live. Signals only with the trend of that zone: BUY inside a bullish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back above it. SELL inside a bearish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back below it. Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + Fib next to triangles for quick context Why this is different Most “zone + fib + signal” tools bolt together several indicators, or fire counter-trend signals because they don’t fully respect structure. TFZB is intentionally minimal: Single bias source: the latest confirmed zone defines direction; nothing else overrides it. Single entry rule: one Fib bounce (0.3/0.5/0.6 selectable) inside that zone—no counter-trend trades by design. Clean visuals: you can show only the most recent zone, clamp overlap, and keep just the rails that matter. Deterministic & transparent: every plot/label comes from the code you see—no external series or hidden smoothing How it helps traders Cuts decision noise: you always know the bias and the only entry that matters right now. Forces discipline: if price isn’t inside the active zone, you don’t trade. Adapts to volatility: pick 0.3 in strong trends, 0.5 as the default, 0.6 in chop. Non-repainting zones: swings are confirmed after Structure Length bars, then used to build zones that extend forward (they don’t “teleport” later) How it works (details) *Structure confirmation A swing high/low is only confirmed after Structure Length bars have elapsed; the dot is plotted back on the original bar using offset. Expect a confirmation delay of about Structure Length × timeframe. *Zone creation After a CHOCH/BOS (momentum shift / break of prior swing), TFZB draws the new Supply/Demand zone from the swing anchors and sets it active. *Fib guide rails Inside the active zone TFZB projects up to five Fib lines (defaults: 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7) and extends them as time passes. *Entry logic (with-trend only) BUY: bar’s low ≤ fib and close > fib inside a bullish zone. SELL: bar’s high ≥ fib and close < fib inside a bearish zone. *Optionally restrict to one signal per zone to avoid over-trading. (Optional) Aggressive confirm-bar entry When do the swing dots print? * The code confirms a swing only after `structureLen` bars have elapsed since that candidate high/low. * On a 5-min chart with `structureLen = 10`, that’s about 50 minutes later. * When the swing confirms, the script plots the dot back on the original bar (via `offset = -structureLen`). So you *see* the dot on the old bar, but it only appears on the chart once the confirming bar arrives. > Practical takeaway: expect swing markers to appear roughly `structureLen × timeframe` later. Zones and signals are built from those confirmed swings. Best timeframe for this Indicator Use the timeframe that matches your holding period and the noise level of the instrument: * Intraday : * 5m or 15m are the sweet spots. * Suggested `structureLen`: * 5m: 10–14 (confirmation delay \~50–70 min) * 15m: 8–10 (confirmation delay \~2–2.5 hours) * Keep Entry Fib at 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in strong trends, 0.6 in chop. * Tip: avoid the first 10–15 minutes after the open; let the initial volatility set the early structure. * Swing/overnight: * 1h or 4h. * `structureLen`: * 1h: 6–10 (6–10 hours confirmation) * 4h: 5–8 (20–32 hours confirmation) * 1m scalping: not recommended here—the confirmation lag relative to the noise makes zones less reliable. Inputs (all groups) Structure • Show Swing Points (structureTog) o Plots small dots on the bar where a swing point is confirmed (offset back by Structure Length). • Structure Length (structureLen) o Lookback used to confirm swing highs/lows and determine local structure. Higher = fewer, stronger swings; lower = more reactive. Zones • Show Last (zoneDispNum) o Maximum number of zones kept on the chart when Display All Zones is off. • Display All Zones (dispAll) o If on, ignores Show Last and keeps all zones/levels. • Zone Display (zoneFilter): Bullish Only / Bearish Only / Both o Filters which zone types are drawn and eligible for signals. • Clean Up Level Overlap (noOverlap) o Prevents fib lines from overlapping when a new zone starts near the previous one (clamps line start/end times for readability). Fib Levels Each row controls whether a fib is drawn and how it looks: • Toggle (f1Tog…f5Tog): Show/hide a given fib line. • Level (f1Lvl…f5Lvl): Numeric ratio in . Defaults active: 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 (0 and 1 off by default). • Line Style (f1Style…f5Style): Solid / Dashed / Dotted. • Bull/Bear Colors (f#BullColor, f#BearColor): Per-fib color in bullish vs bearish zones. Style • Structure Color: Dot color for confirmed swing points. • Bullish Zone Color / Bearish Zone Color: Rectangle fills (transparent by default). Signals • Entry Fib for Signals (entryFibSel): Choose 0.3, 0.5 (default), or 0.6 as the trigger line. • Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles triangle markers on/off. • One Signal Per Zone (oneSignalPerZone): If on, suppresses additional entries within the same zone after the first trigger. • Show Signal Text Labels (Bull/Bear + Fib) (showSignalLabels): Adds a small label next to each triangle showing zone bias and the fib used (e.g., BULL 0.5 or BEAR 0.3). How TFZB decides signals With trend only: • BUY 1. Latest active zone is bullish. 2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone (between top and bottom). 3. The bar’s low ≤ selected fib and it closes > selected fib (bounce). • SELL 1. Latest active zone is bearish. 2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone. 3. The bar’s high ≥ selected fib and it closes < selected fib. Markers & labels • BUY: triangle up below the bar; optional label “BULL 0.x” above it. • SELL: triangle down above the bar; optional label “BEAR 0.x” below it. Right-Panel Swing Log (Table) What it is A compact, auto-updating log of the most recent Swing High/Low events, printed in the top-right of the chart. It helps you see when a pivot formed, when it was confirmed, and at what price—so you know the earliest bar a zone-based signal could have appeared. Columns Type – Swing High or Swing Low. Date – Calendar date of the swing bar (follows the chart’s timezone). Swing @ – Time of the original swing bar (where the dot is drawn). Confirm @ – Time of the bar that confirmed that swing (≈ Structure Length × timeframe after the swing). This is also the earliest moment a new zone/entry can be considered. Price – The swing price (high for SH, low for SL). Why it’s useful Clarity on repaint/confirmation: shows the natural delay between a swing forming and being usable—no guessing. Planning & journaling: quick reference of today’s pivots and prices for notes/backtesting. Scanning intraday: glance to see if you already have a confirmed zone (and therefore valid fib-bounce entries), or if you’re still waiting. Context for signals: if a fib-bounce triangle appears before the time listed in Confirm @, it’s not a valid trade (you were too early). Settings (Inputs → Logging) Log swing times / Show table – turn the table on/off. Rows to keep – how many recent entries to display. Show labels on swing bar – optional tags on the chart (“Swing High 11:45”, “Confirm SH 14:15”) that match the table. Recommended defaults • Structure Length: 10–20 for intraday; 20–40 for swing. • Entry Fib for Signals: 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in stronger trends and 0.6 in choppier markets. • One Signal Per Zone: ON (prevents over trading). • Zone Display: Both. • Fib Lines: Keep 0.3/0.5/0.7 on; turn on 0 and 1 only if you need anchors. Alerts Two alert conditions are available: • BUY signal – fires when a with trend bullish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bullish zone. • SELL signal – fires when a with trend bearish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bearish zone. Create alerts from the chart’s Alerts panel and select the desired condition. Use Once Per Bar Close to avoid intrabar flicker. Notes & tips • Swing dots are confirmed only after Structure Length bars, so they plot back in time; zones built from these confirmed swings do not repaint (though they extend as new bars form). • If you don’t see a BUY where you expect one, check: (1) Is the active zone bullish? (2) Did the candle’s low actually pierce the selected fib and close above it? (3) Is One Signal Per Zone suppressing a second entry? • You can hide visual clutter by reducing Show Last to 1–3 while keeping Display All Zones off. Glossary • CHOCH (Change of Character): A shift where price breaks beyond the last opposite swing while local momentum flips. • BOS (Break of Structure): A cleaner break beyond the prior swing level in the current momentum direction. • MSS: Either CHOCH or BOS – any event that spawns a new zone. Extension ideas (optional) • Add fib extensions (1.272 / 1.618) for target lines. • Zone quality score using ATR normalization to filter weak impulses. • HTF filter to only accept zones aligned with a higher timeframe trend. ⚠️ Disclaimer This script is provided for educational purposes only.

Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S [CHE]Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \ Purpose. Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \ is built to surface only the cleanest momentum turns: it prints a Buy (B) when a bullish Heikin-Ashi candle forms with virtually no lower wick, and a Sell (S) when a bearish Heikin-Ashi candle forms with no upper wick. Optional Lock mode turns these into one-shot signals that hold the regime (bull or bear) until the opposite side appears. The tool can also project dashed horizontal lines from each signal’s price level to help you manage entries, stops, and partial take-profits visually. How it works. The indicator computes standard Heikin-Ashi values from your chart’s OHLC. A bar qualifies as bullish if its HA close is at or above its HA open; bearish if below. Then the wick on the relevant side is compared to the bar’s HA range. If that wick is smaller than your selected percentage threshold (plus a tiny tick epsilon to avoid rounding noise), the raw condition is considered “wickless.” Only one side can fire; on the rare occasion both raw conditions would overlap, the bar is ignored to prevent false dual triggers. When Lock is enabled, the first valid signal sets the active regime (background shaded light green for bull, light red for bear) and suppresses further same-side triggers until the opposite side appears, which helps reduce overtrading in chop. Why wickless? A missing wick on the “wrong” side of a Heikin-Ashi candle is a strong hint of persistent directional pressure. In practice, this filters out hesitation bars and many mid-bar flips. Traders who prefer entering only when momentum is decisive will find wickless bars useful for timing entries within an established bias. Visuals you get. When a valid buy appears, a small triangle “B” is plotted below the bar and a green dashed line can extend to the right from the signal’s HA open price. For sells, a triangle “S” above the bar and a red dashed line do the same. These lines act like immediate, price-anchored references for stop placement and profit scaling; you can shift the anchor left by a chosen number of bars if you prefer the line to start a little earlier for visual alignment. How to trade it Establish context first. Pick a timeframe that matches your style: intraday index or crypto traders often use 5–60 minutes; swing traders might prefer 2–4 hours or daily. The tool is agnostic, but the cleanest results occur when the market is already trending or attempting a fresh breakout. Entry. When a B prints, the simplest rule is to enter long at or just after bar close. A conservative variation is to require price to take out the high of the signal bar in the next bar(s). For S, invert the logic: enter short on or after close, or only if price breaks the signal bar’s low. Stop-loss. Place the stop beyond the opposite extreme of the signal HA bar (for B: under the HA low; for S: above the HA high). If you prefer a static reference, use the dashed line level (signal HA open) or an ATR buffer (e.g., 1.0–1.5× ATR(14)). The goal is to give the trade enough room that normal noise does not immediately knock you out, while staying small enough to keep the risk contained. Take-profit and management. Two pragmatic approaches work well: R-multiple scaling. Define your initial risk (distance from entry to stop). Scale out at 1R, 2R, and let a runner go toward 3R+ if structure holds. Trailing logic. Trail behind a short moving average (e.g., EMA 20) or progressive swing points. Many traders also exit on the opposite signal when Lock flips, especially on faster timeframes. Position sizing. Keep risk per trade modest and consistent (e.g., 0.25–1% of account). The indicator improves timing; it does not replace risk control. Settings guidance Max lower wick for Bull (%) / Max upper wick for Bear (%). These control how strict “wickless” must be. Tighter values (0.3–1.0%) yield fewer but cleaner signals and are great for strong trends or low-noise instruments. Looser values (1.5–3.0%) catch more setups in volatile markets but admit more noise. If you notice too many borderline bars triggering during high-volatility sessions, increase these thresholds slightly. Lock (one-shot until opposite). Keep Lock ON when you want one decisive signal per leg, reducing noise and signal clusters. Turn it OFF only if your plan intentionally scales into trends with multiple entries. Extended lines & anchor offset. Leave lines ON to maintain a visual memory of the last trigger levels. These often behave like near-term support/resistance. The offset simply lets you start that line one or more bars earlier if you prefer the look; it does not change the math. Colors. Use distinct bull/bear line colors you can read easily on your theme. The default lime/red scheme is chosen for clarity. Practical examples Momentum continuation (long). Price is above your baseline (e.g., EMA 200). A B prints with a tight lower wick filter. Enter on close; stop under the signal HA low. Price pushes up in the next bars; you scale at 1R, trail the rest with EMA 20, and finally exit when a distant S appears or your trail is hit. Breakout confirmation (short). Following a range, price breaks down and prints an S with no upper wick. Enter short as the bar closes or on a subsequent break of the signal bar’s low. If the next bar immediately rejects and prints a bullish HA bar, your stop above the signal HA high limits damage. Otherwise, ride the move, harvesting partials as the red dashed line remains unviolated. Alerts and automation Set alerts to “Once Per Bar Close” for stability. Bull ONE-SHOT fires when a valid buy prints (and Lock allows it). Bear ONE-SHOT fires for sells analogously. With Lock enabled, you avoid multiple pings in the same direction during a single leg—useful for webhooks or mobile notifications. Reliability and limitations The script calculates from completed bars and does not use higher-timeframe look-ahead or repainting tricks. Heikin-Ashi smoothing can lag turns slightly, which is expected and part of the design. In narrow ranges or whipsaw conditions, signals naturally thin out; if you must trade ranges, either tighten the wick filters and keep Lock ON, or add a trend/volatility filter (e.g., trade B only above EMA 200; S only below). Remember: this is an indicator, not a strategy. If you want exact statistics, port the triggers into a strategy and backtest with your chosen entry, stop, and exit rules. Final notes Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \ is a precision timing tool: it waits for decisive, wickless HA bars, provides optional regime locking to reduce noise, and leaves clear price anchors on your chart for disciplined management. Use it with a simple framework—trend bias, fixed risk, and a straightforward exit plan—and it will keep your execution consistent without cluttering the screen or your decision-making.

Structural Liquidity Signals [BullByte]Structural Liquidity Signals (SFP, FVG, BOS, AVWAP) Short description Detects liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels, highlights the latest FVG, tracks AVWAP stretch, arms percentile extremes, and triggers after confirmed micro BOS. Full description What this tool does Structural Liquidity Signals shows where price likely tapped liquidity (stop clusters), then waits for structure to actually change before it prints a trigger. It spots: Liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at recent pivots and at prior day/week highs/lows. The latest Fair Value Gap (FVG) that often “pulls” price or serves as a reaction zone. How far price is stretched from two VWAP anchors (one from the latest impulse, one from today’s session), scaled by ATR so it adapts to volatility. A “percentile” extreme of an internal score. At extremes the script “arms” a setup; it only triggers after a small break of structure (BOS) on a closed bar. Originality and design rationale, why it’s not “just a mashup” This is not a mashup for its own sake. It’s a purpose-built flow that links where liquidity is likely to rest with how structure actually changes: - Liquidity location: We focus on areas where stops commonly cluster—recent pivots and prior day/week highs/lows—then detect sweeps (SFPs) when price wicks beyond and closes back inside. - Displacement context: We track the last Fair Value Gap (FVG) to account for recent inefficiency that often acts as a magnet or reaction zone. - Stretch measurement: We anchor VWAP to the latest N-bar impulse and to the Daily session, then normalize stretch by ATR to assess dislocation consistently across assets/timeframes. - Composite exhaustion: We combine stretch, wick skew, and volume surprise, then bend the result with a tanh transform so extremes are bounded and comparable. - Dynamic extremes and discipline: Rather than triggering on every sweep, we “arm” at statistical extremes via percent-rank and only fire after a confirmed micro Break of Structure (BOS). This separates “interesting” from “actionable.” Key concepts SFP (liquidity sweep): A candle briefly trades beyond a level (where stops sit) and closes back inside. We detect these at: Pivots (recent swing highs/lows confirmed by “left/right” bars). Prior Day/Week High/Low (PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL). FVG (Fair Value Gap): A small 3‑bar gap (bar2 high vs bar1 low, or vice versa). The latest gap often acts like a magnet or reaction zone. We track the most recent Up/Down gap and whether price is inside it. AVWAP stretch: Distance from an Anchored VWAP divided by ATR (volatility). We use: Impulse AVWAP: resets on each new N‑bar high/low. Daily AVWAP: resets each new session. PR (Percentile Rank): Where the current internal score sits versus its own recent history (0..100). We arm shorts at high PR, longs at low PR. Micro BOS: A small break of the recent high (for longs) or low (for shorts). This is the “go/no‑go” confirmation. How the parts work together Find likely liquidity grabs (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels. Add context from the latest FVG and AVWAP stretch (how far price is from “fair”). Build a bounded score (so different markets/timeframes are comparable) and compute its percentile (PR). Arm at extremes (high PR → short candidate; low PR → long candidate). Only print a trigger after a micro BOS, on a closed bar, with spacing/cooldown rules. What you see on the chart (legend) Lines: Teal line = Impulse AVWAP (resets on new N‑bar extreme). Aqua line = Daily AVWAP (resets each session). PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL = prior day/week levels (toggle on/off). Zones: Greenish box = latest Up FVG; Reddish box = latest Down FVG. The shading/border changes after price trades back through it. SFP labels: SFP‑P = SFP at Pivot (dotted line marks that pivot’s price). SFP‑L = SFP at Level (at PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL). Throttle: To reduce clutter, SFPs are rate‑limited per direction. Triggers: Triangle up = long trigger after BOS; triangle down = short trigger after BOS. Optional badge shows direction and PR at the moment of trigger. Optional Trigger Zone is an ATR‑sized box around the trigger bar’s close (for visualization only). Background: Light green/red shading = a long/short setup is “armed” (not a trigger). Dashboard (Mini/Pro) — what each item means PR: Percentile of the internal score (0..100). Near 0 = bullish extreme, near 100 = bearish extreme. Gauge: Text bar that mirrors PR. State: Idle, Armed Long (with a countdown), or Armed Short. Cooldown: Bars remaining before a new setup can arm after a trigger. Bars Since / Last Px: How long since last trigger and its price. FVG: Whether price is in the latest Up/Down FVG. Imp/Day VWAP Dist, PD Dist(ATR): Distance from those references in ATR units. ATR% (Gate), Trend(HTF): Status of optional regime filters (volatility/trend). How to use it (step‑by‑step) Keep the Safety toggles ON (default): triggers/visuals on bar‑close, optional confirmed HTF for trend slope. Choose timeframe: Intraday (5m–1h) or Swing (1h–4h). On very fast/thin charts, enable Performance mode and raise spacing/cooldown. Watch the dashboard: When PR reaches an extreme and an SFP context is present, the background shades (armed). Wait for the trigger triangle: It prints only after a micro BOS on a closed bar and after spacing/cooldown checks. Use the Trigger Zone box as a visual reference only: This script never tells you to buy/sell. Apply your own plan for entry, stop, and sizing. Example: Bullish: Sweep under PDL (SFP‑L) and reclaim; PR in lower tail arms long; BOS up confirms → long trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown). Bearish: Sweep above PDH/pivot (SFP‑L/P) and reject; PR in upper tail arms short; BOS down confirms → short trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown). Settings guide (with “when to adjust”) Safety & Stability (defaults ON) Confirm triggers at bar close, Draw visuals at bar close: Keep ON for clean, stable prints. Use confirmed HTF values: Applies to HTF trend slope only; keeps it from changing until the HTF bar closes. Performance mode: Turn ON if your chart is busy or laggy. Core & Context ATR Length: Bigger = smoother distances; smaller = more reactive. Impulse AVWAP Anchor: Larger = fewer resets; smaller = resets more often. Show Daily AVWAP: ON if you want session context. Use last FVG in logic: ON to include FVG context in arming/score. Show PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL: ON to see prior day/week levels that often attract sweeps. Liquidity & Microstructure Pivot Left/Right: Higher values = stronger/rarer pivots. Min Wick Ratio (0..1): Higher = only more pronounced SFP wicks qualify. BOS length: Larger = stricter BOS; smaller = quicker confirmations. Signal persistence: Keeps SFP context alive for a few bars to avoid flicker. Signal Gating Percent‑Rank Lookback: Larger = more stable extremes; smaller = more reactive extremes. Arm thresholds (qHi/qLo): Move closer to 0.5 to see more arms; move toward 0/1 to see fewer arms. TTL, Cooldown, Min bars and Min ATR distance: Space out triggers so you’re not reacting to minor noise. Regime Filters (optional) ATR percentile gate: Only allow triggers when volatility is at/above a set percentile. HTF trend gate: Only allow longs when the HTF slope is up (and shorts when it’s down), above a minimum slope. Visuals & UX Only show “important” SFPs: Filters pivot SFPs by Volume Z and |Impulse stretch|. Trigger badges/history and Max badge count: Control label clutter. Compact labels: Toggle SFP‑P/L vs full names. Dashboard mode and position; Dark theme. Reading PR (the built‑in “oscillator”) PR ~ 0–10: Potential bullish extreme (long side can arm). PR ~ 90–100: Potential bearish extreme (short side can arm). Important: “Armed” ≠ “Enter.” A trigger still needs a micro BOS on a closed bar and spacing/cooldown to pass. Repainting, confirmations, and HTF notes By default, prints wait for the bar to close; this reduces repaint‑like effects. Pivot SFPs only appear after the pivot confirms (after the chosen “right” bars). PD/W levels come from the prior completed candles and do not change intraday. If you enable confirmed HTF values, the HTF slope will not change until its higher‑timeframe bar completes (safer but slightly delayed). Performance tips If labels/zones clutter or the chart lags: Turn ON Performance mode. Hide FVG or the Trigger Zone. Reduce badge history or turn badge history off. If price scaling looks compressed: Keep optional “score”/“PR” plots OFF (they overlay price and can affect scaling). Alerts (neutral) Structural Liquidity: LONG TRIGGER Structural Liquidity: SHORT TRIGGER These fire when a trigger condition is met on a confirmed bar (with defaults). Limitations and risk Not every sweep/extreme reverses; false triggers occur, especially on thin markets and low timeframes.

Infinite EMA with Alpha Control♾️ Infinite EMA with Alpha Control What Makes This EMA "Infinite"? Unlike traditional EMA indicators that are limited to typical periods (1-5000), this Infinite EMA breaks all boundaries. You can create EMAs with periods of 1,000, 10,000, or even 1,000,000 bars - that's why it's called "infinite"! Also Infinite EMA starts working immediately from the very first bar on your chart Why This EMA is "Infinite": 1. Mathematically: When N → ∞, alpha → 0, meaning infinitely long "memory" 2. Practically: You can set any period - even 100,000 bars 3. Flexibility: Alpha allows precise control over the "forgetting speed" How Does It Work? The magic lies in the Alpha parameter. While regular EMAs use fixed formulas, this indicator gives you direct control over the EMA's "memory" through Alpha values: • High Alpha (0.1-0.2): Fast reaction, short memory • Medium Alpha (0.01-0.05): Balanced response • Low Alpha (0.0001-0.001): Extremely slow reaction, very long memory • Ultra-low Alpha (0.000001): Almost frozen in time The Mathematical Formula: Alpha = 2 / (Period + 1) This means you can achieve any EMA period by adjusting Alpha, giving you infinite flexibility! Expanded "Infinite EMA" Table: Period EMA (N) - Alpha (Rounded) - Alpha (Exact) - Description 10 - 0.1818 - 0.181818... - Fast EMA 20 - 0.0952 - 0.095238... - Short-term 50 - 0.0392 - 0.039215... - Medium-term 100 - 0.0198 - 0.019801... - Long-term 200 - 0.0100 - 0.009950... - Standard long-term 500 - 0.0040 - 0.003996... - Very long-term 1,000 - 0.0020 - 0.001998... - Super long-term 2,000 - 0.0010 - 0.000999... - Ultra long-term 5,000 - 0.0004 - 0.000399... - Mega long-term 10,000 - 0.0002 - 0.000199... - Giga long-term 25,000 - 0.00008 - 0.000079... - Century-scale EMA 50,000 - 0.00004 - 0.000039... - Practically motionless 100,000 - 0.00002 - 0.000019... - "Glacial" EMA 500,000 - 0.000004 - 0.000003... - Geological timescale 1,000,000 - 0.000002 - 0.000001... - Approaching constant 5,000,000 - 0.0000004 - 0.0000003... - Virtually static 10,000,000 - 0.0000002 - 0.0000001... - Nearly flat line 100,000,000 - 0.00000002 - 0.00000001... - Mathematical infinity Formula: Alpha = 2/(N+1) where N is the EMA period Key Features: Dual EMA System: Run fast and slow EMAs simultaneously Crossover Signals: Automatic buy/sell signals with customizable alerts Alpha Control: Direct mathematical control over EMA behavior Infinite Periods: From 1 to 100,000,000+ bars Visual Customization: Colors, fills, backgrounds, signal sizes Instant Start: Works accurately from the very first bar Update Intervals: Control calculation frequency for noise reduction Why Choose Infinite EMA? 1. Unlimited Flexibility: Any period you can imagine 2. Mathematical Precision: Direct alpha control for exact behavior 3. Professional Grade: Suitable for all trading styles 4. Easy to Use: Simple settings with powerful results 5. No Warm-up Period: Accurate values from bar #1 Simple Explanation: Think of EMA as a "memory system": • High Alpha = Short memory (forgets quickly, reacts fast) • Low Alpha = Long memory (remembers everything, moves slowly) With Infinite EMA, you can set the "memory length" to anything from seconds to centuries! ⚡ Instant Start Feature - EMA from First Bar Immediate Calculation from Bar #1 Unlike traditional EMA indicators that require a "warm-up period" of N bars before showing accurate values, Infinite EMA starts working immediately from the very first bar on your chart. How It Works: Traditional EMA Problem: • Standard 200-period EMA: Needs 200+ bars to become accurate • First 200 bars: Shows incorrect/unstable values • Result: Large portions of historical data are unusable Infinite EMA Solution: Bar #1: EMA = Current Price (perfect starting point) Bar #2: EMA = Alpha × Price + (1-Alpha) × Previous EMA Bar #3: EMA = Alpha × Price + (1-Alpha) × Previous EMA ...and so on Key Benefits: No Warm-up Period: Start trading signals from day one Full Chart Coverage: Every bar has a valid EMA value Historical Accuracy: Backtesting works on entire dataset New Markets: Works perfectly on newly listed assets Short Datasets: Effective even with limited historical data Practical Impact: Scenario Traditional EMA Infinite EMA New cryptocurrency Unusable for first 200 days ✅ Works from day 1 Limited data (< 200 bars) Inaccurate values ✅ Fully functional Backtesting Must skip first 200 bars ✅ Test entire history Real-time trading Wait for stabilization ✅ Trade immediately Technical Implementation: if barstate.isfirst EMA := currentPrice // Perfect initialization else EMA := alpha × currentPrice + (1-alpha) × previousEMA This smart initialization ensures mathematical accuracy from the very first calculation, eliminating the traditional EMA "ramp-up" problem. Why This Matters: For Backesters: Use 100% of available data For Live Trading: Get signals immediately on any timeframe For Researchers: Analyze complete datasets without gaps Bottom Line: Infinite EMA is ready to work the moment you add it to your chart - no waiting, no warm-up, no exceptions! Unlike traditional EMAs that require a "warm-up period" of 200+ bars before showing accurate values, Infinite EMA starts working immediately from bar #1. This breakthrough eliminates the common problem where the first portion of your chart shows unreliable EMA data. Whether you're analyzing a newly listed cryptocurrency, working with limited historical data, or backtesting strategies, every single bar provides mathematically accurate EMA values. No more waiting periods, no more unusable data sections - just instant, reliable trend analysis from the moment you apply the indicator to any chart. 🔄 Update Interval Bars Feature The Update Interval feature allows you to control how frequently the EMA recalculates, providing flexible noise filtering without changing the core mathematics. Set to 1 for standard behavior (updates every bar), or increase to 5-10 for smoother signals that update less frequently. Higher intervals reduce market noise and false signals but introduce slightly more lag. This is particularly useful on volatile timeframes where you want the EMA's directional bias without every minor price fluctuation affecting the calculation. Perfect for swing traders who prefer cleaner, more stable trend lines over hyper-responsive indicators. Conclusion The Infinite EMA transforms the traditional EMA from a fixed-period tool into a precision instrument with unlimited flexibility. By understanding the Alpha-Period relationship, traders can create custom EMAs that perfectly match their trading style, timeframe, and market conditions. The "infinite" nature comes from the ability to set any period imaginable - from ultra-fast 2-bar EMAs to glacially slow 10-million-bar EMAs, all controlled through a single Alpha parameter. ________________________________________ Whether you're a beginner looking for simple trend following or a professional researcher analyzing century-long patterns, Infinite EMA adapts to your needs. The power of infinite periods is now in your hands! 🚀 Go forward to the horizon. When you reach it, a new one will open up. - J. P. Morgan

Dip Hunter [BackQuant]Dip Hunter What this tool does in plain language Dip Hunter is a pullback detector designed to find high quality buy-the-dip opportunities inside healthy trends and to avoid random knife catches. It watches for a quick drop from a recent high, checks that the drop happened with meaningful participation and volatility, verifies short-term weakness inside a larger uptrend, then scores the setup and paints the chart so you can act with confidence. It also draws clean entry lines, provides a meter that shows dip strength at a glance, and ships with alerts that match common execution workflows. How Dip Hunter thinks It defines a recent swing reference, measures how far price has dipped off that high, and only looks at candidates that meet your minimum percentage drop. It confirms the dip with real activity by requiring a volume spike and a volatility spike. It checks structure with two EMAs. Price should be weak in the short term while the larger context remains constructive. It optionally requires a higher-timeframe trend to be up so you focus on pullbacks in trending markets. It bundles those checks into a score and shows you the score on the candles and on a gradient meter. When everything lines up it paints a green triangle below the bar, shades the background, and (if you wish) draws a horizontal entry line at your chosen level. Inputs and what they mean Dip Hunter Settings • Vol Lookback and Vol Spike : The script computes an average volume over the lookback window and flags a spike when current volume is a multiple of that average. A multiplier of 2.0 means today’s volume must be at least double the average. This helps filter noise and focuses on dips that other traders actually traded. • Fast EMA and Slow EMA : Short-term and medium-term structure references. A dip is more credible if price closes below the fast EMA while the fast EMA is still below the slow EMA during the pullback. That is classic corrective behavior inside a larger trend. • Price Smooth : Optional smoothing length for price-derived series. Use this if you trade very noisy assets or low timeframes. • Volatility Len and Vol Spike (volatility) : The script checks both standard deviation and true range against their own averages. If either expands beyond your multiplier the market confirms the move with range. • Dip % and Lookback Bars : The engine finds the highest high over the lookback window, then computes the percentage drawdown from that high to the current close. Only dips larger than your threshold qualify. Trend Filter • Enable Trend Filter : When on, Dip Hunter will only trigger if the market is in an uptrend. • Trend EMA Period : The longer EMA that defines the session’s backbone trend. • Minimum Trend Strength : A small positive slope requirement. In practice this means the trend EMA should be rising, and price should be above it. You can raise the value to be more selective. Entries • Show Entry Lines : Draws a horizontal guide from the signal bar for a fixed number of bars. Great for limit orders, scaling, or re-tests. • Line Length (bars) : How far the entry guide extends. • Min Gap (bars) : Suppresses new entry lines if another dip fired recently. Prevents clutter during choppy sequences. • Entry Price : Choose the line level. “Low” anchors at the signal candle’s low. “Close” anchors at the signal close. “Dip % Level” anchors at the theoretical level defined by recent_high × (1 − dip%). This lets you work resting orders at a consistent discount. Heat / Meter • Color Bars by Score : Colors each candle using a red→white→green gradient. Red is overheated, green is prime dip territory, white is neutral. • Show Meter Table : Adds a compact gradient strip with a pointer that tracks the current score. • Meter Cells and Meter Position : Resolution and placement of the meter. UI Settings • Show Dip Signals : Plots green triangles under qualifying bars and tints the background very lightly. • Show EMAs : Plots fast, slow, and the trend EMA (if the trend filter is enabled). • Bullish, Bearish, Neutral colors : Theme controls for shapes, fills, and bar painting. Core calculations explained simply Recent high and dip percent The script finds the highest high over Lookback Bars , calls it “recent high,” then calculates: dip% = (recent_high − close) ÷ recent_high × 100. If dip% is larger than Dip % , condition one passes. Volume confirmation It computes a simple moving average of volume over Vol Lookback . If current volume ÷ average volume > Vol Spike , we have a participation spike. It also checks 5-bar ROC of volume. If ROC > 50 the spike is forceful. This gets an extra score point. Volatility confirmation Two independent checks: • Standard deviation of closes vs its own average. • True range vs ATR. If either expands beyond Vol Spike (volatility) the move has range. This prevents false triggers from quiet drifts. Short-term structure Price should close below the Fast EMA and the fast EMA should be below the Slow EMA at the moment of the dip. That is the anatomy of a pullback rather than a full breakdown. Macro trend context (optional) When Enable Trend Filter is on, the Trend EMA must be rising and price must be above it. The logic prefers “micro weakness inside macro strength” which is the highest probability pattern for buying dips. Signal formation A valid dip requires: • dip% > threshold • volume spike true • volatility spike true • close below fast EMA • fast EMA below slow EMA If the trend filter is enabled, a rising trend EMA with price above it is also required. When all true, the triangle prints, the background tints, and optional entry lines are drawn. Scoring and visuals Binary checks into a continuous score Each component contributes to a score between 0 and 1. The script then rescales to a centered range (−50 to +50). • Low or negative scores imply “overheated” conditions and are shaded toward red. • High positive scores imply “ripe for a dip buy” conditions and are shaded toward green. • The gradient meter repeats the same logic, with a pointer so you can read the state quickly. Bar coloring If you enable “Color Bars by Score,” each candle inherits the gradient. This makes sequences obvious. Red clusters warn you not to buy. White means neutral. Increasing green suggests the pullback is maturing. EMAs and the trend EMA • Fast EMA turns down relative to the slow EMA inside the pullback. • Trend EMA stays rising and above price once the dip exhausts, which is your cue to focus on long setups rather than bottom fishing in downtrends. Entry lines When a fresh signal fires and no other signal happened within Min Gap (bars) , the indicator draws a horizontal level for Line Length bars. Use these lines for limit entries at the low, at the close, or at the defined dip-percent level. This keeps your plan consistent across instruments. Alerts and what they mean • Market Overheated : Score is deeply negative. Do not chase. Wait for green. • Close To A Dip : Score has reached a healthy level but the full signal did not trigger yet. Prepare orders. • Dip Confirmed : First bar of a fresh validated dip. This is the most direct entry alert. • Dip Active : The dip condition remains valid. You can scale in on re-tests. • Dip Fading : Score crosses below 0.5 from above. Momentum of the setup is fading. Tighten stops or take partials. • Trend Blocked Signal : All dip conditions passed but the trend filter is offside. Either reduce risk or skip, depending on your plan. How to trade with Dip Hunter Classic pullback in uptrend Turn on the trend filter. Watch for a Dip Confirmed alert with green triangle. Use the entry line at “Dip % Level” to stage a limit order. This keeps your entries consistent across assets and timeframes. Initial stop under the signal bar’s low or under the next lower EMA band. First target at prior swing high, second target at a multiple of risk. If you use partials, trail the remainder under the fast EMA once price reclaims it. Aggressive intraday scalps Lower Dip % and Lookback Bars so you catch shallow flags. Keep Vol Spike meaningful so you only trade when participation appears. Take quick partials when price reclaims the fast EMA, then exit on Dip Fading if momentum stalls. Counter-trend probes Disable the trend filter if you intentionally hunt reflex bounces in downtrends. Require strong volume and volatility confirmation. Use smaller size and faster targets. The meter should move quickly from red toward white and then green. If it does not, step aside. Risk management templates Stops • Conservative: below the entry line minus a small buffer or below the signal bar’s low. • Structural: below the slow EMA if you aim for swing continuation. • Time stop: if price does not reclaim the fast EMA within N bars, exit. Position sizing Use the distance between the entry line and your structural stop to size consistently. The script’s entry lines make this distance obvious. Scaling • Scale at the entry line first touch. • Add only if the meter stays green and price reclaims the fast EMA. • Stop adding on a Dip Fading alert. Tuning guide by market and timeframe Equities daily • Dip %: 1.5 to 3.0 • Lookback Bars: 5 to 10 • Vol Spike: 1.5 to 2.5 • Volatility Len: 14 to 20 • Trend EMA: 100 or 200 • Keep trend filter on for a cleaner list. Futures and FX intraday • Dip %: 0.4 to 1.2 • Lookback Bars: 3 to 7 • Vol Spike: 1.8 to 3.0 • Volatility Len: 10 to 14 • Use Min Gap to avoid clusters during news. Crypto • Dip %: 3.0 to 6.0 for majors on higher timeframes, lower on 15m to 1h • Lookback Bars: 5 to 12 • Vol Spike: 1.8 to 3.0 • ATR and stdev checks help in erratic sessions. Reading the chart at a glance • Green triangle below the bar: a validated dip. • Light green background: the current bar meets the full condition. • Bar gradient: red is overheated, white is neutral, green is dip-friendly. • EMAs: fast below slow during the pullback, then reclaim fast EMA on the bounce for quality continuation. • Trend EMA: a rising spine when the filter is on. • Entry line: a fixed level to anchor orders and risk. • Meter pointer: right side toward “Dip” means conditions are maturing. Why this combination reduces false positives Any single criterion will trigger too often. Dip Hunter demands a dip off a recent high plus a volume surge plus a volatility expansion plus corrective EMA structure. Optional trend alignment pushes odds further in your favor. The score and meter visualize how many of these boxes you are actually ticking, which is more reliable than a binary dot. Limitations and practical tips • Thin or illiquid symbols can spoof volume spikes. Use larger Vol Lookback or raise Vol Spike . • Sideways markets will show frequent small dips. Increase Dip % or keep the trend filter on. • News candles can blow through entry lines. Widen stops or skip around known events. • If you see many back-to-back triangles, raise Min Gap to keep only the best setups. Quick setup recipes • Clean swing trader: Trend filter on, Dip % 2.0 to 3.0, Vol Spike 2.0, Volatility Len 14, Fast 20 EMA, Slow 50 EMA, Trend 100 EMA. • Fast intraday scalper: Trend filter off, Dip % 0.7 to 1.0, Vol Spike 2.5, Volatility Len 10, Fast 9 EMA, Slow 21 EMA, Min Gap 10 bars. • Crypto swing: Trend filter on, Dip % 4.0, Vol Spike 2.0, Volatility Len 14, Fast 20 EMA, Slow 50 EMA, Trend 200 EMA. Summary Dip Hunter is a focused pullback engine. It quantifies a real dip off a recent high, validates it with volume and volatility expansion, enforces corrective structure with EMAs, and optionally restricts signals to an uptrend. The score, bar gradient, and meter make reading conditions instant. Entry lines and alerts turn that read into an executable plan. Tune the thresholds to your market and timeframe, then let the tool keep you patient in red, selective in white, and decisive in green.
