X VFI (LB) w absorptiona variation of the On-Balance Volume (OBV) introduced by Markos Katsanos and further refined by LazyBear, is a robust volume-based momentum oscillator designed to measure the strength and direction of money flow. It utilizes advanced filtering mechanisms to enhance signal quality for active trading environments. This version has added an absorption feature.
Core Functionality and Enhancements
Filtered Volume Flow: The VFI is calculated using the Typical Price (HLC/3) and incorporates filters for Volatility (coef) and Excessive Volume (vcoef). This ensures the indicator responds only to price changes supported by sustained, relevant volume, filtering out market noise and anomalous spikes.
Zero-Line Bias: VFI values above zero indicate net accumulation (bullish flow), while values below zero indicate net distribution (bearish flow).
Signal Line Timing (vfima): The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the VFI acts as the Signal Line. Crossovers between the VFI (fast line) and the Signal Line are primary triggers for trade entries and exits.
Absorption/Distribution Signals
This customized version introduces unique features to visually isolate periods where underlying volume conviction contradicts immediate price action—the most powerful setups for reversals and strong continuations.
Absorption/Distribution Highlighting:
The histogram's color is dynamically changed to highlight hidden buying or selling pressure:
(Absorption Signal): Indicates strong positive VFI momentum occurring on a bearish (down) candle. This signals aggressive buying absorption of supply, where large traders are accumulating positions despite brief selling pressure, often preceding a sharp upward move.
(Distribution Signal): Indicates strong negative VFI momentum occurring on a bullish (up) candle. This signals aggressive selling distribution into demand, where large traders are offloading positions into brief rallies, often preceding a sharp downward move.
Volume-Filtered Conviction: The visual intensity (transparency) of the signal color is adjusted based on a Volume Filter (minVolFilter). Darker, solid colors denote high-conviction signals supported by above-average volume, while transparent colors indicate lower-conviction signals.
Histogram Magnification:
The magnification input allows users to visually increase the height of the histogram bars (e.g., 2x). This enhances the immediate visual recognition of momentum acceleration or deceleration.
PivotBoss VWAP Bands (Auto TF) - FixedWhat this indicator shows (high level)
The indicator plots a VWAP line and three bands above (R1, R2, R3) and three bands below (S1, S2, S3).
Band spacing is computed from STD(abs(VWAP − price), N) and multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 to form R1–R3 / S1–S3. The script is timeframe-aware: on 30m/1H charts it uses Weekly VWAP and weekly bands; on Daily charts it uses Monthly VWAP and monthly bands; otherwise it uses the session/chart VWAP.
VWAP = the market’s volume-weighted average price (a measure of fair value). Bands = volatility-scaled zones around that fair value.
Trading idea — concept summary
VWAP = fair value. Price above VWAP implies bullish bias; below VWAP implies bearish bias.
Bands = graded overbought/oversold zones. R1/S1 are near-term limits, R2/S2 are stronger, R3/S3 are extreme.
Use trend alignment + price action + volume to choose higher-probability trades. VWAP bands give location and magnitude; confirmations reduce false signals.
Entry rules (multiple strategies with examples)
A. Momentum breakout (trend-following) — preferred on trending markets
Setup: Price consolidates near or below R1 and then closes above R1 with above-average volume. Chart: 30m/1H (Weekly VWAP) or Daily (Monthly VWAP) depending on your timeframe.
Entry: Enter long at the close of the breakout bar that closes above R1.
Stop-loss: Place initial stop below the higher of (VWAP or recent swing low). Example: if price broke R1 at ₹1,200 and VWAP = ₹1,150, set stop at ₹1,145 (5 rupee buffer below VWAP) or below the last swing low if that is wider.
Target: Partial target at R2, full target at R3. Trail stop to VWAP or to R1 after price reaches R2.
Example numeric: Weekly VWAP = ₹1,150, R1 = ₹1,200, R2 = ₹1,260. Buy at ₹1,205 (close above R1), stop ₹1,145, target1 ₹1,260 (R2), target2 ₹1,320 (R3).
B. Mean-reversion fade near bands — for range-bound markets
Setup: Market is not trending (VWAP flatish). Price rallies up to R2 or R3 and shows rejection (pin bar, bearish engulfing) on increasing or neutral volume.
Entry: Enter short after a confirmed rejection candle that fails to sustain above R2 or R3 (prefer confirmation: close back below R1 or below the rejection candle low).
Stop-loss: Just above the recent high (e.g., 1–2 ATR or a fixed buffer above R2/R3).
Target: First target VWAP, second target S1. Reduce size if taking R3 fade as it’s an extreme.
Example numeric: VWAP = ₹950, R2 = ₹1,020. Price spikes to ₹1,025 and forms a bearish engulfing candle. Enter short at ₹1,015 after the next close below ₹1,020. Stop at ₹1,035, target VWAP ₹950.
C. Pullback entries in trending markets — higher probability
Setup: Price is above VWAP and trending higher (higher highs and higher lows). Price pulls back toward VWAP or S1 with decreasing downside volume and a reversal candle forms.
Entry: Long when price forms a bullish reversal (hammer/inside-bar) with a close back above the pullback candle.
Stop-loss: Below the pullback low (or below S2 if a larger stop is justified).
Target: VWAP then R1; if momentum resumes, trail toward R2/R3.
Example numeric: Price trending above Weekly VWAP at ₹1,400; pullback to S1 at ₹1,360. Enter long at ₹1,370 when a bullish candle closes; stop at ₹1,350; first target VWAP ₹1,400, second target R1 ₹1,450.
Exit rules and money management
Basic exit hierarchy
Hard stop exit — when price hits initial stop-loss. Always use.
Target exit — take partial profits at R1/R2 (for longs) or S1/S2 (for shorts). Use trailing stops for the remainder.
VWAP invalidation — if you entered long above VWAP and price returns and closes significantly below VWAP, consider exiting (condition depends on timeframe and trade size).
Price action exit — reversal patterns (strong opposite candle, bearish/bullish engulfing) near targets or beyond signals to exit.
Trailing rules
After price reaches R2, move stop to breakeven + a small buffer or to VWAP.
After price reaches R3, trail by 1 ATR or lock a defined profit percentage.
Position sizing & risk
Risk per trade: commonly 0.5–2% of account equity.
Determine position size by RiskAmount ÷ (EntryPrice − StopPrice).
If the stop distance is large (e.g., trading R3 fades), reduce position size.
Filters & confirmation (to reduce false signals)
Volume filter: For breakouts, require volume above short-term average (e.g., >20-period average). Breakouts on low volume are suspect.
Trend filter: Only take breakouts in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend (for example, use Daily/Weekly trend when trading 30m/1H).
Candle confirmation: Prefer entries on close of the confirming candle (not intrabar noise).
Multiple confirmations: When R1 break happens but RSI/plotted momentum indicator does not confirm, treat signal as lower probability.
Special considerations for timeframe-aware logic
On 30m/1H the script uses Weekly VWAP/bands. That means band levels change only on weekly candles — they are strong, structural levels. Treat R1/R2/R3 as significant and expect fewer, stronger signals.
On Daily, the script uses Monthly VWAP/bands. These are wider; trades should allow larger stops and smaller position sizes (or be used for swing trades).
On other intraday charts you get session VWAP (useful for intraday scalps).
Example: If you trade 1H and the Weekly R1 is at ₹2,400 while session VWAP is ₹2,350, a close above Weekly R1 represents a weekly-level breakout — prefer that for swing entries rather than scalps.
Example trade walkthrough (step-by-step)
Context: 1H chart, auto-mapped → Weekly VWAP used.
Weekly VWAP = ₹3,000; R1 = ₹3,080; R2 = ₹3,150.
Price consolidates below R1. A large bullish candle closes at ₹3,085 with volume 40% above the 20-bar average.
Entry: Buy at close ₹3,085.
Stop: Place stop at ₹2,995 (just under Weekly VWAP). Risk = ₹90.
Position size: If risking ₹900 per trade → size = 900 ÷ 90 = 10 units.
Targets: Partial take-profit at R2 = ₹3,150; rest trailed with stop moved to breakeven after R2 is hit.
If price reverses and closes below VWAP within two bars, exit immediately to limit drawdown.
When to avoid trading these signals
High-impact news (earnings, macro announcements) that can gap through bands unpredictably.
Thin markets with low volume — VWAP loses significance when volumes are extremely low.
When weekly/monthly bands are flat but intraday price is volatile without clear structure — prefer session VWAP on smaller timeframes.
Alerts & automation suggestions
Alert on close above R1 / below S1 (use the built-in alertcondition the script adds). For higher-confidence alerts, require volume filter in the alert condition.
Automated order rules (if you automate): use limit entry at breakout close plus a small slippage buffer, immediate stop order, and OCO for TP and SL.
jhehli LiquidityWhat are BSL and SSL?
In the context of Smart Money Concepts, liquidity simply refers to pending orders—specifically Stop Losses and Buy/Sell Stop orders—resting above old highs and below old lows.
BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity): This is found above Swing Highs. Retail traders who are short the market will place their "Buy Stop" protective orders here. Additionally, breakout traders place "Buy Limit" orders here. Smart Money views this area as a pool of willing buyers. To fill large sell orders, institutions must drive price up into this liquidity to pair their massive sell interest with these buy stops.
SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity): This is found below Swing Lows. Retail traders who are long the market place their "Sell Stop" protective orders here. Smart Money targets these levels to accumulate long positions. They need the market to sell off into these levels so they can buy from the willing sellers at a discount.
How this Indicator Works
This tool automates the process of market structure analysis by identifying key Swing Highs and Swing Lows.
Detection: It scans price action to find fractal highs and lows (classic swing points) where price has rejected a level.
Visualization: It projects a line from these points, clearly marking where the "stops" are likely residing.
Liquidity Raids: When price pierces these levels, it is considered a "Liquidity Raid" or "Stop Hunt."
How to Use This in Your Trading
Do not treat these lines simply as Support and Resistance. In the ICT methodology, old highs and lows are targets, not barriers.
For Reversals: Wait for a "Turtle Soup" or "Judas Swing." This occurs when price aggressively expands into a BSL or SSL level to trigger stops, only to quickly reverse back into the trading range. This indicates that Smart Money has finished their accumulation or distribution.
For Bias: If the higher timeframe trend is Bullish, expect SSL to be raided to fuel the move, while BSL becomes the target (Draw on Liquidity).
By using this indicator, you remove the guesswork of manually marking every swing point, allowing you to focus on price action and the reaction at these critical liquidity pools.
🔥 SMC Reversal Engine v3.5 – Clean FVG + DashboardSMC Reversal Engine v3.5 – Clean FVG + Dashboard
The SMC Reversal Engine is a precision-built Smart Money Concepts tool designed to help traders understand market structure the single most important foundation in reading price action. It reveals how institutions move liquidity, where structure shifts occur, and how Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) align with these changes to signal potential reversals or continuations.
Understanding How It Works
At its core, the script detects CHoCH (Change of Character) and BOS (Break of Structure)—the two key turning points in institutional order flow. A CHoCH shows that the market has reversed intent (for example, from bearish to bullish), while a BOS confirms a continuation of the current trend. Together, they form the backbone of structure-based trading.
To refine this logic, the engine uses fractal pivots clusters of candles that confirm swing highs and lows. Fractals filter out noise, identifying points where price truly changes direction. The script lets you set this sensitivity manually or automatically adapts it depending on the timeframe. Lower fractal sensitivity captures smaller intraday swings for scalpers, while higher sensitivity locks onto major swing structures for swing and position traders.
The dashboard gives you a real-time reading of the trend, the last high and low, and what the market is likely to do next—for example, “Expect HL” or “Wait for LH.” It even tracks the accuracy of these structure predictions over time, giving an educational feedback loop to help you learn price behavior.
Fair Value Gaps and Tap Entries
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) mark moments when price moves too quickly, leaving inefficiencies that institutions often revisit. When price taps into an FVG, it often acts as a high-probability entry zone for reversals or continuations. The script automatically detects, extends, and deletes old FVGs, keeping only relevant zones visible for a clean chart.
Traders can enable markTapEntry to visually confirm when an FVG gets filled. This is a simple but powerful trigger that often aligns with CHoCH or BOS moments.
Recommended Settings for Different Traders
For Scalpers, use a lower HTF structure such as 1 minute or 5 minutes. Keep Auto Fractals on for faster reaction, and limit FVG zones to 2–3. This gives you a clean, real-time reflection of order flow.
For Intraday Traders, 15-minute to 1-hour structure gives the perfect balance between reactivity and stability. Fractal sensitivity around 3–5 captures the most actionable levels without excessive noise.
For Swing Traders, use 4-hour, 1-day, or even 3-day structure. The chart becomes smoother, showing higher-order CHoCH and BOS that define true institutional transitions. Combine this with EMA confirmation for higher conviction.
For Position or Macro Traders, select Weekly or Monthly structure. The dynamic label system expands automatically to keep more historical BOS/CHoCH points visible, allowing you to see long-term shifts clearly.
Educational Value
This indicator is built to teach traders how to see structure the way professionals and smart money do. You’ll learn to recognize how markets transition from one phase to another from accumulation to manipulation to expansion. Each CHoCH or BOS helps you decode where liquidity is being taken and where new intent begins.
The included SMC Quick Guide explains each structural cue right on your chart. Within days of using it, you’ll start noticing patterns that reveal how price really moves, instead of guessing based on indicators.
Settings and How to Use Them
Everything in the SMC Reversal Engine is designed to adapt to your trading style and help you read structure like a professional.
When you open the Inputs Panel, you’ll see sections like Fractal Settings, FVG Settings, Buy/Sell Confirmation, and Educational Tools.
Under Fractal Settings, you can choose the higher timeframe (HTF) that defines structure—from minutes to weeks. The Auto Fractal Sensitivity option automatically adjusts how tight or wide swing points are detected. Lower sensitivity captures short-term fluctuations (great for scalpers), while higher values filter noise and isolate major swing highs and lows (perfect for swing traders).
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) options manage imbalance zones—the footprints of institutional orders. You can show or hide these zones, extend them into the future, and control how long they remain before auto-deletion. The Mark Entry When FVG is Tapped option places a small label when price revisits the gap—a potential entry signal that aligns with smart money logic.
EMA Confirmation adds a layer of confluence. The script can automatically scale EMA lengths based on timeframe, or you can input your preferred values (for example, 9/21 for intraday, 50/200 for swing). Require EMA Crossover Confirmation helps filter false moves, keeping you trading only with aligned momentum.
The Educational section gives traders visual reinforcement. When enabled, you’ll see tags like HH (Higher High), HL (Higher Low), LH (Lower High), and LL (Lower Low). These show structure shifts in real time, helping you learn visually what market structure really means. The Cheat Sheet panel summarizes each term, always visible in the corner for quick reference.
Early Top Warnings use wick size and RSI divergence to signal when price may be overextended—a useful heads-up before potential CHoCH formations.
Finally, the Narrative and Accuracy System translates structure into simple English—messages like Trend Bullish → Wait for HL or BOS Bearish → Expect LL. Over time, you can monitor how accurate these expectations have been, training your pattern recognition and confidence.
Pro Tips for Getting the Most Out of the SMC Reversal Engine
1. Start on Higher Timeframes First: Begin on the 4H or Daily chart where structure is cleaner and signals have more weight. Then scale down for entries once you grasp directional intent.
2. Use FVGs for Context, Not Just Entries: Observe how price behaves around unfilled FVGs—they often act as magnets or barriers, offering insight into where liquidity lies.
3. Combine With HTF Bias: Always trade in the direction of your higher timeframe trend. A bullish weekly BOS means lower timeframes should ideally align bullishly for optimal setups.
4. Clean Charts = Clear Mind: Use Minimal Mode when focusing on price action, then toggle the educational tools back on to review structure for learning.
5. Don’t Chase Every CHoCH or BOS: Focus on significant breaks that align with broader context and liquidity sweeps, not minor fluctuations.
6. Accuracy Rate Is a Feedback Tool: Use the accuracy stat as a reflection of consistency—not a trade trigger.
7. Build Narrative Awareness: Read the on-chart narrative messages to reinforce structured thinking and stay disciplined.
8. Practice Replay Mode: Step through past structures to visually connect CHoCH, BOS, and FVG behavior. It’s one of the best ways to train pattern recognition.
Summary
* Detects CHoCH and BOS automatically with fractal precision
* Identifies and manages Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in real time
* Displays a smart dashboard with accuracy tracking
* Adapts label visibility dynamically by timeframe
* Perfect for both learning and trading with institutional clarity
This tool isn’t about predicting the market—it’s about understanding it. Once you can read structure, everything else in trading becomes secondary.

Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps.
Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dual detection algorithm combining volume threshold analysis and ATR-normalized price movement sensitivity for comprehensive void identification
Three-layer 3D visualization system with progressive transparency gradients (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets for authentic depth perception
Intelligent state machine logic that tracks consecutive void bars and only renders zones meeting minimum qualification requirements
Dynamic strength scoring system (0-100 scale) that combines inverted volume ratios with movement intensity for accurate void characterization
Adaptive ATR-based spacing calculation that automatically adjusts 3D layering depth to match instrument volatility
Efficient memory management system supporting up to 100 simultaneous void visualizations with automatic array-based cleanup
🔧 Core Components
Volume Analysis Engine: Calculates rolling volume averages and compares current bar volume against dynamic thresholds to detect abnormally thin trading conditions
Price Movement Analyzer: Normalizes bar range against ATR to identify rapid price movements that indicate liquidity exhaustion regardless of instrument or timeframe
Void Tracking State Machine: Maintains persistent tracking of void start bars, price boundaries, consecutive bar counts, and cumulative strength across multiple bars
3D Polyline Renderer: Generates three-layer rectangular polylines with precise timestamp-to-bar index conversion and progressive offset calculations
Strength Calculation System: Combines volume component (inverted ratio capped at 100) with movement component (ATR intensity × 30) for comprehensive void scoring
🔥 Key Features
Automatic Void Detection: Continuously scans price action for low volume conditions or rapid movements, triggering void tracking when thresholds are exceeded
Real-Time Visualization: Creates 3D rectangular zones spanning from void initiation to termination, with color-coded depth indicating liquidity type
Adjustable Sensitivity: Configure volume threshold multiplier (0.1-2.0x), price movement sensitivity (0.5-5.0x), and minimum qualifying bars (1-10) for customized detection
Dual Color Coding: Separate visual treatment for low liquidity voids (receding red) and high liquidity zones (protruding green) based on 50-point strength threshold
Optional Compact Labels: Toggle LV (Low Volume) or HV (High Volume) circular labels at void centers for quick identification without visual clutter
Lookback Period Control: Adjust analysis window from 5 to 100 bars to match your trading timeframe and market volatility characteristics
Memory-Efficient Design: Automatically manages polyline and label arrays, deleting oldest elements when user-defined maximum is reached
Data Window Integration: Plots void detection binary, current strength score, and average volume for detailed analysis in TradingView's data window
🎨 Visualization
Three-Layer Depth System: Each void is rendered as three stacked polylines with progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets creating authentic 3D appearance
Directional Depth Perception: Low liquidity zones recede with back layer most transparent; high liquidity zones protrude with front layer most transparent for instant visual differentiation
Adaptive Offset Spacing: Vertical separation between layers calculated as ATR(14) × 0.001, ensuring consistent 3D effect across different instruments and volatility regimes
Color Customization: Fully configurable base colors for both low liquidity zones (default: red with 80 transparency) and high liquidity zones (default: green with 80 transparency)
Minimal Chart Clutter: Closed polylines with matching line and fill colors create clean rectangular zones without unnecessary borders or visual noise
Background Highlight: Subtle yellow background (96% transparency) marks bars where void conditions are actively detected in real-time
Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100.
Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection.
Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions.
Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon.
Visual Settings
Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility.
High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color.
Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart.
Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems.
✅ Best Use Cases
Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones
Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support
Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids
Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance
Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas
Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities
⚠️ Limitations
Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur
No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy
Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins
Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently
Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others
No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection
Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed
💡 What Makes This Unique
Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality
Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss
Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter
ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration
Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy
Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization
🔬 How It Works
Phase 1: Real-Time Detection
On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier
Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter
If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics
Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification
When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator
Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores
When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets
Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction
Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength)
Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR
Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones
Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management
Phase 4: Memory Management & Display
Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift()
Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history
Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.

Optionally annotates the chart with the computed quality score at signal time.
Why it’s useful
Objectivity: Converts vague “looks extended” into rules, reduces discretion creep.
Signal hygiene: Filters raw touches using trend, volume, momentum, and candle structure to avoid obvious traps.
Adaptable regimes: Switch methods, sensitivity, and lookbacks to match choppy vs trending conditions.
How support and resistance are built
Pick one per side, or use “Hybrid.”
Dynamic: Anchors to the extreme of a lookback window, padded by recent ATR, so buffers expand in volatile periods and contract when calm.
Fibonacci: Uses the 0.618/0.786 retracement pair inside the current swing window to target common reaction zones.
Volatility: Uses a moving-average basis with standard-deviation bands to capture statistically stretched moves.
Volume-Weighted: Centers off VWAP and penalizes deviations using dispersion of price around VWAP, helpful on intraday instruments.
Hybrid: A weighted average of the above to smooth out single-method biases.
When a touch becomes a signal
Depth/extension test:
Dips must penetrate their support by at least Min Dip Depth % .
Tops must extend above resistance by at least Min Top Rise % .
Quality Score gate: The composite must clear Min Quality Score . Components:
Trend alignment: Favor dips in bullish regimes and tops in bearish regimes using EMAs and RSI.
Volume confirmation: Reward expansion or spikes versus a 20-period baseline.
RSI context: Prefer oversold for dips, overbought for tops.
Momentum shift: Look for short-term momentum turning in the expected direction.
Candle structure: Reward hammer/shooting-star style responses at the level.
How to use it
Pick your regime:
Range/chop, small caps, mean-revert intraday → Volatility or Volume Weighted .
Cleaner swings/trends → Dynamic or Fibonacci .
Unsure or mixed conditions → Hybrid .
Set windows: Start with Lookback = 50 for both sides. Increase in higher timeframes or slow assets, decrease for fast scalps.
Tune sensitivity: Raise Dip/Top Sensitivity to widen buffers and reduce noise. Lower to be more aggressive.
Gate with quality: Begin with Min Quality Score = 60 . Push to 70–80 for cleaner swing entries, relax to 50–60 for scalps.
Act on first prints: The script only fires on new qualified events. Use the score label to prioritize A-setups.
Typical workflows
Intraday futures/crypto: Volume-Weighted or Volatility methods for both sides, higher Sensitivity , require Volume Filter and Momentum Filter on. Look for DIP during opening drive exhaustion and TOP near late-session fatigue.
Swing equities/FX: Dynamic or Fibonacci with moderate sensitivity. Keep Trend Filter on to only take dips above the 200-EMA and tops below it.
Countertrend scouts: Lower Min Dip Depth % / Min Top Rise % slightly, but raise Min Quality Score to compensate.
Reading the chart
Lines: “Dip Support” and “Top Resistance” are the current actionable rails, lightly smoothed to reduce flicker.
Signals: “DIP” prints below bars when a qualified dip appears, “TOP” prints above for qualified tops.
Scores: Optional labels show the composite at signal time. Favor higher numbers, especially when aligned with higher-timeframe trend.
Background hints: Light highlights mark raw touches meeting depth/extension, even if they fail quality. Treat these as early warnings.
Tuning tips
If you get too many false DIP signals in downtrends, raise Min Dip Depth % and keep Trend Filter on.
If tops appear late in squeezes, lower Top Sensitivity slightly or switch top side to Fibonacci .
On assets with erratic volume, prefer Volatility or Dynamic methods and down-weight the Volume Filter .
For strict systems, increase Min Quality Score and require both Volume and Momentum filters.
What this is not
It is not a blind reversal signal. It’s a structured context tool. Combine with your risk plan and higher-timeframe map.
It is not a guarantee of mean reversion. In strong trends, expect fewer, higher-score opportunities and respect invalidation quickly.
Suggested presets
Scalp preset: Lookback 30–40, Sensitivity 1.2–1.5, Quality ≥ 55, Volume & Momentum filters ON.
Swing preset: Lookback 75–100, Sensitivity 1.0–1.2, Quality ≥ 70, Trend & Volume filters ON.
Chop preset: Volatility/Volume-Weighted methods, Quality ≥ 60, Momentum filter ON, RSI emphasis.
Input quick reference
Dip/Top Method: Choose the model for each side or “Hybrid” to blend.
Lookback: Swing window the levels are built from.
Sensitivity: Scales volatility padding around levels.
Min Dip Depth % / Min Top Rise %: Minimum breach/extension to qualify.
Quality Filters: Trend, Volume, Momentum toggles, plus Min Quality Score gate.
Visuals: Colors and whether to print score labels.
Best practices
Map higher-timeframe trend first, then act on lower-timeframe DIP/TOP in the trend’s favor.
Use the score as triage. Skip mediocre prints into news or at session open unless score is exceptional.
Pre-define stop placement relative to the level you used. If a DIP fails, exit on loss of structure rather than waiting for the next print.
Bottom line: Top Finder & Dip Hunter codifies where reversals are most defensible and only flags the ones with supportive context. Tune the method and filters to your market, then let the score keep your playbook disciplined.
BullTrader - ParabolicSARFlipSignals(NonRepainting)TP/SL🧠 Purpose & Concept
This indicator refines Wilder’s Parabolic SAR into a simple, non‑repainting alert and visualization system that marks each confirmed trend flip with a clear buy or sell signal.
It also auto‑generates dynamic, ATR‑based Take‑Profit (TP) and Stop‑Loss (SL) levels, keeps them updating with price in real time, and displays the current market bias in an on‑chart table.
The goal: clarity and automation without complexity — see exactly when a new bullish or bearish phase begins, what your current TP/SL targets are, and receive a single clean alert for every new flip.
⚙️ How It Works
1. The built‑in ta.sar() function tracks the Parabolic SAR dots.
2. When a candle closes across the SAR line, a trend‑change is confirmed:
• Price crossing above a SAR dot → Buy Flip (green triangle).
• Price crossing below a SAR dot → Sell Flip (red triangle).
3. On each flip, the indicator calculates dynamic ATR‑based TP / SL targets:
TP = entry ± (ATR × tpMult) and SL = entry ∓ (ATR × slMult)
These values move automatically as the trend develops.
4. A small floating label beside the latest bar shows live‑updated TP / SL numbers.
5. A color‑coded table in the upper‑right corner displays the current trend: Lime = Bullish, Red = Bearish, Yellow = Neutral.
6. Each new flip triggers an easy‑to‑use Buy / Sell alert after the bar closes—no repainting.
🔔 Alerts
Alert Name Triggers When Message

nOI + Funding + CVD • strategynOI + Funding + CVD Strategy
Overview
This strategy is designed for cryptocurrency trading on platforms like TradingView, focusing on perpetual futures markets. It combines three key indicators—Normalized Open Interest (nOI), Funding Rate, and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)—to generate buy and sell signals for long and short positions. The strategy aims to capitalize on market imbalances, such as overextended open interest, funding rate extremes, and volume deltas, which often signal potential reversals or continuations in trending markets.
The script supports pyramiding (up to 10 positions), uses percentage-based position sizing (default 10% of equity per trade), and allows customization of trade directions (longs and shorts can be enabled/disabled independently). It includes multiple signal systems for entries, various exit mechanisms (including stop-loss, take-profit, time-based exits, and conditional closes based on indicators), a Martingale add-on system for averaging positions during drawdowns, and handling of opposite signals (ignore, close, or reverse).
This strategy is not financial advice; backtest thoroughly and use at your own risk. It requires data sources for Open Interest (OI) and Funding Rates, which are fetched via TradingView's security functions (e.g., from Binance for funding premiums).
Key Indicators
1. Normalized Open Interest (nOI)
Group: Open Interest
Purpose: Measures the relative level of open interest over a lookback window to identify overbought (high OI) or oversold (low OI) conditions, which can indicate potential exhaustion in trends.
Calculation:
Fetches OI data (close) from the symbol's standard ticker (e.g., "{symbol}_OI").
Normalizes OI within a user-defined window (default: 500 bars) using min-max scaling: (OI - min_OI) / (max_OI - min_OI) * 100.
Upper threshold (default: 70%): Signals potential short opportunities when crossed from above.
Lower threshold (default: 30%): Signals potential long opportunities when crossed from below.
Visualization: Plotted as a line (teal above upper, red below lower, gray in between). Horizontal lines at upper, mid (50%), lower, and a separator at 102%.
Notes: Handles non-crypto symbols by adjusting timeframe to daily if intraday. Errors if no OI data available.
2. Funding Rate
Group: Funding Rate
Purpose: Tracks the average funding rate (premium index) to detect market sentiment extremes. Positive funding suggests bull bias (longs pay shorts), negative suggests bear bias.
Calculation:
Fetches premium index data from Binance (e.g., "binance:{base}usdt_premium").
Supports lower timeframe aggregation (default: enabled, using 1-min TF) for smoother data.
Averages open and close premiums, clamps values, and scales/shifts for plotting (base: 150, scale: 1000x).
Upper threshold (default: 1.0%): Overheat for shorts.
Lower threshold (default: 1.0%): Overcool for longs.
Ultra level (default: 1.8%): Extreme for additional short signals.
Smoothing: Uses inverse weighted moving average (IWMA) or lower-TF aggregation to reduce noise.
Visualization: Shifted plot (green positive, red negative) with filled areas. Horizontal lines for overheat, overcool, base (0%), and ultra.
Notes: Custom ticker option for non-standard symbols.
3. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
Group: CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
Purpose: Measures net buying/selling pressure via volume delta, normalized to identify divergences or confirmations with price.
Calculation:
Delta: +volume if close > open, -volume if close < open.
Cumulative: Rolling cumsum over a window (default: 500 bars), smoothed with EMA (default: 20).
Normalized: Scaled by absolute max in window (-1 to 1 range).
Scaled/shifted for plotting (base: 300 or 0 if anchored, scale: 120x).
Upper threshold (default: 1.0%): Over for shorts.
Lower threshold (default: 1.0%): Under for longs.
Visualization: Shifted plot (aqua positive, purple negative) with filled areas. Horizontal lines for over, under, and separator (default: 252).
Filter Options (for Signal A):
Enable filter (default: false).
Require sign match (Long ≥0, Short ≤0).
Require extreme zones.
Require momentum (rising/falling over N bars, default: 3).
Signal Logics for Entries
Entries are triggered by buy/sell signals from multiple systems (A, B, C, D), filtered by direction toggles and entry conditions.

SMC Clean: Structure + LiquidityThis indicator provides Smart Money Concepts (SMC) tools designed to help traders analyze market structure, liquidity pools, and institutional trading zones. It combines several popular SMC methods into one powerful, customizable tool, with a clean and controlled chart display.
Features and How it Works:
Swing Highs and Lows: The indicator identifies confirmed swing highs and swing lows using a lookback period (default: 15 bars). These points form the basis for market structure analysis.
Equal Highs/Equal Lows (EQH/EQL): When price action creates repeated swing highs or lows within a defined tolerance, the tool automatically marks these areas as potential liquidity pools. These are levels where multiple stop orders may accumulate, sometimes leading to significant market moves.
Liquidity Lines & Sweeps: Liquidity lines highlight unswept highs and lows, making it easy to see where price may hunt liquidity. When price crosses a swing high/low and closes back, a sweep label is shown (optional).
BOS/CHOCH Detection:
Break of Structure (BOS): Signals a continuation of the current trend if price closes beyond the previous swing point.
Change of Character (CHOCH): Highlights when price reverses and breaks a key swing from the opposite direction, hinting at a potential trend change or shift in market regime.
Only confirmed swing points are considered to avoid repainting.
Premium & Discount Zones Explained:
After a new confirmed swing high and swing low, the area between them forms a “range.”
The premium zone is the upper half (from midpoint to swing high): this is typically considered where price is “expensive” or overvalued for the current swing, and is often watched for potential sell setups.
The discount zone is the lower half (from swing low to midpoint): this is where price is “cheap” or undervalued for the current swing, commonly monitored for potential buy setups.
Colored boxes mark these zones on your chart for instant reference.
Dashboard (Movable Position):
A visually enhanced dark-themed dashboard shows the current market structure (Bullish/Bearish), liquidity bias (Buy-Side, Sell-Side, or Balanced, based on unswept levels), and last swept side (i.e., which liquidity pool was last taken by price).
Dashboard position can be set anywhere on your chart for best visibility.
Customization Options:
Enable/disable any feature individually for a cleaner chart.
Control colors, transparency, and swing sensitivity via user settings.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust settings to fit your trading style.
Use swing lines and dashboard to determine current market structure and bias.
Watch equal highs/lows and liquidity lines for possible sweep events.
Use the premium/discount zones to locate optimal areas for trade entries—with institutional logic, buy when price reaches the discount (lower) zone, and look for sales in the premium (upper) zone.
Use BOS/CHOCH signals as objective confirmations of trend or regime changes. Always interpret signals in context of broader price action.
Important Notes:
This indicator is educational and analytical—NO signals are guaranteed.
All calculations are non-repainting and use only confirmed price data (no lookahead).
No claims of predicting future price movement or performance are made.

Alerts: Built-in notifications—"God Surge Buy: BTC Scalp Entry!"—to summon you mid-prayer (er, trade).
Backtested for BTC's fury, this isn't a holy grail, but a scalper's Excalibur: pure, adaptive, and unyielding. Trade wisely—markets are mortal, your edge is eternal.
MACD Remastered [CHE]MACD Remastered — Robust MACD with confirmed pivot-based divergence, optional signal bands, and ready-to-use alerts.
Summary
This indicator augments classic MACD with a robust, confirmed pivot-based divergence engine and an optional signal channel using Bollinger Bands. Divergence signals are only produced after a pivot is confirmed, which reduces noise from transient swings. A line-of-sight clearance check filters cases where the MACD histogram path contradicts the divergence, further cutting false flags. Histogram coloring clarifies momentum changes, while optional triangles project the same signals onto the main chart for quick context.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard MACD divergence tools tend to fire early in volatile phases and flip during consolidation. The core idea here is to delay decision points until a pivot is confirmed and to validate the path between pivots. This addresses fake flips and improves signal credibility at the cost of some latency. Optional bands around the Signal line add context about compression and expansion without altering MACD’s core behavior.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Classical MACD (fast and slow moving averages, Signal line, histogram) with simple divergence checks.
Architecture differences:
Confirmed pivot logic with left and right bars.
Line-of-sight clearance test across the histogram path between pivots.
Optional Signal-line Bollinger Bands with configurable length and width.
Composite “Any Divergence” alert plus separate regular and hidden alerts.
Optional main-chart triangles using forced overlay for at-a-glance context.
Practical effect: Fewer early or contradictory divergence signals, clearer momentum context via histogram colors and a visible Signal channel during compression and expansion.
How it works (technical)
The MACD line derives from a fast and a slow moving average on a chosen source. The Signal line smooths the MACD line using a selected moving average type and length. The histogram is the difference between MACD and Signal and is colored by direction and acceleration.
Divergence uses confirmed pivots: a pivot forms only after a set number of bars on the right side, so the event is locked in. The engine retrieves the last two relevant pivots and checks price movement versus the MACD histogram movement to classify regular or hidden divergence. A line-of-sight clearance routine traverses the histogram path between the two pivots and rejects the signal if the path invalidates the directional relationship. When enabled, Bollinger Bands are plotted around the Signal line; width scales with standard deviation. Programmatic alerts fire only on confirmed bars. No higher-timeframe requests are used.
Parameter Guide
Oscillator MA Type — Sets fast and slow MA family for MACD. Default: EMA. Tip: EMA is more responsive; SMA is steadier.
Fast Length — Fast MA period. Default: 12. Trade-off: Shorter is quicker but noisier.
Slow Length — Slow MA period. Default: 26. Trade-off: Longer reduces noise but adds lag.
Source — Price input. Default: Close. Tip: Use a stable source for consistency.
Signal MA Type — Moving average family for Signal. Default: EMA.
Signal Length — Smoothing of MACD into Signal. Default: 9. Trade-off: Longer smooths more, reacts slower.
Calculate Divergence — Enables divergence engine. Default: True.
Enable Bollinger Bands on Signal — Adds bands around Signal. Default: False.
BB Length — Sampling window for bands. Default: 20. Active: Only when bands are enabled.
BB StdDev — Band width in standard deviations. Default: 2.0. Bounds: between about zero point zero zero one and fifty.
Pivot Left / Pivot Right — Bars to the left and right that define a confirmed pivot. Default: five and five. Trade-off: Larger values mean stronger but slower pivots.
Min / Max Bars Between Pivots — Valid window between two pivots. Default: five and sixty. Tip: Increase minimum to reduce micro-divergences.
Detect Hidden — Include hidden divergence. Default: True.
Draw Lines — Draw connector lines on the MACD pane. Default: True.
Alerts: Enable / Regular / Hidden / Frequency / Prefix — Control alert emission, categories, cadence, and label. Defaults: Enabled, both categories on, once per bar close, prefix “MACD RM”.
Reading & Interpretation
Histogram: Columns above zero reflect positive momentum; below zero reflect negative momentum. Color shifts indicate momentum increasing or decreasing within each side.
MACD and Signal: Crosses and distance indicate momentum shifts and strength. When bands are enabled, touches and departures hint at compression and expansion around the Signal.
Divergence: Solid green lines and labels indicate regular bullish; solid red indicate regular bearish. Dashed teal and dashed orange denote hidden bullish and hidden bearish. Triangles on the main chart mirror these events for quicker visibility.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use histogram color transitions with a structure filter such as higher highs and higher lows for long bias, or lower highs and lower lows for short bias. Divergence against the prevailing structure suggests caution or partial exits.
Exits and risk: In a long, regular bearish divergence near resistance can justify scaling out or tightening stops. Hidden divergence in the trend direction can support continuation but should not replace risk controls.
Multi-asset / Multi-timeframe: Works across liquid futures, forex, indices, and large-cap equities. Start with defaults on four-hour and daily; shorten lengths on intraday only when liquidity is strong.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Signals are anchored only after the right-side pivot bars complete; alerts trigger on confirmed bars. This intentionally adds latency to reduce noise.
No higher-timeframe requests: No `security` calls are used; repaint risk is primarily tied to live bars before confirmation.
Resources: Declared `max_bars_back` is five hundred. The divergence path check iterates between pivots, bounded by the maximum bars parameter. Line objects may accumulate; limits are set for lines and labels.
Known limits: Latency at sharp turns, potential misses during fast single-bar reversals, and sensitivity to extremely choppy sessions if minimum gap between pivots is set too low.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tunin g
Starting point: EMA, twelve and twenty-six with Signal nine; pivots five and five; minimum five, maximum sixty; alerts on close; bands off.
Too many flips: Increase Signal length, raise pivot counts, and increase minimum bars between pivots. Consider disabling hidden divergence.
Too sluggish: Reduce pivot counts, lower Signal length, and enable bands to visualize early compression.
Cluttered chart: Keep lines off and rely on labels and main-chart triangles. Use the alert prefix to route events cleanly.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and signal layer for MACD with confirmed, path-checked divergence and optional Signal bands. It is not a trading system, not predictive, and not a position management framework. Use it together with structure analysis, liquidity context, and explicit risk controls.

Low and Preceding High (Breakout + Bullis fgv + Extending Fib)🚀 Last Low & Preceding High: Bullish Reversal Strategy
This indicator identifies high-probability long setups by confirming a Bullish Market Structure Shift (BMS) coupled with a strong momentum filter.
🧠 Indicator Logic (How It Works)
The core function of this tool is to automatically locate the key structural points that lead to a bullish bias:
Structure Identification: It first defines a Range between the two most recent Pivot Lows. Within this range, it finds the Preceding High (the highest close before the current low) and the true Low Anchor (the lowest low/tail of the pivot low).
Breakout and Momentum Filter: A valid signal requires two conditions to be met on the current bar:
Bullish Breakout: The price must close above the Preceding High.
Marubozu Confirmation: A strong Bullish Marubozu candle (minimal wicks) must be present in the impulse move from the low, filtering for institutional strength.
Fibonacci Discount Zones: Upon confirmation, the indicator calculates and plots the discount zones (0.50, 0.618, 0.786) using the true extremes (tail-to-tail anchors). These zones start extending from the breakout candle and represent high-value areas for potential entries.
🎯 Entry and Risk Management
The strategy provides clear rules for execution once the logic is confirmed:
Entry Execution:
Wait for Retracement: Enter a Long position when the price retraces back into the colored Discount Zones (0.50 to 0.786).
Risk Control:
🛑 Stop Loss (SL): Placed below the Low Line (the swing low that initiated the move).
✅ Take Profit (TP): Placed above the High Line (the high that was broken).
Final note
"Special thanks to Mr. Mazen (@dr0chart) for developing this strategy."
Lord Mathew ATSThe Smart Money Structure & Pattern Analyzer is a complete, all-in-one visual trading system that brings together every essential element of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, and candlestick psychology into one powerful indicator.
It is designed to help traders instantly understand the market’s structure, liquidity flow, and potential turning points without switching tools or manually marking charts. Whether you trade forex, indices, crypto, or commodities, this indicator automatically identifies where institutional activity, imbalances, and price inefficiencies occur in real time.
With its advanced algorithm, it plots market structure shifts, equal highs and lows, liquidity zones, order blocks, fair value gaps (FVGs), and previous week and day levels (PWO, PWH, PWL, PWC, PDO, PDH, PDL, PDO). It also integrates a deep candlestick recognition engine that detects over ten classic and advanced candle formations including engulfing patterns, dojis, hammers, shooting stars, morning/evening stars, and spinning tops to provide precise confirmation at critical points of interest.
This indicator isn’t just a tool it’s a complete market map that helps traders visualize how institutional order flow and candlestick sentiment interact.
Core Features
📊 Market Structure Detection:
Automatically marks swing highs/lows, Break of Structure (BOS), and Change of Character (CHOCH) in real time.
💧 Liquidity Mapping:
Highlights equal highs/lows and liquidity grabs, showing where price is likely to target before a reversal or continuation.
🧱 Order Block Visualization:
Displays the last bullish or bearish candle before an impulsive displacement, acting as a potential institutional entry zone.
⚡ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Scanner:
Detects and highlights imbalances where price moved too fast, helping you identify high-probability retracement areas.
🕯️ Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
Recognizes key reversal and continuation patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star, doji, morning/evening star, etc.) in real time.
📅 Institutional Reference Points:
Plots previous week & day open (PWO, PDO), previous week & day high (PWH, PWH), previous week & day low (PWL, PDL), previous week & day close (PWC, PDC) and optionally previous day levels to help frame bias.
🎨 Customizable Design:
Toggle any feature, change colors, and set alerts when multiple Smart Money signals align for cleaner, faster decision-making.
How It Works
Add the indicator to your chart on any timeframe or market.
The algorithm automatically detects structure, liquidity, and imbalance zones.
Candlestick patterns are highlighted when they form near high-probability areas (like OBs or FVGs).
When confluence occurs such as a liquidity grab, FVG fill, and bullish engulfing candle—the indicator provides a visual signal zone for your confirmation-based entries.
You can refine your trades using higher-timeframe bias (HTF order flow) and lower-timeframe execution (LTF confirmation).
Best For
Traders using ICT, Smart Money Concepts, or price-action systems.
Intraday and swing traders looking for clear, data-driven chart structure.
Traders who want to simplify confluence analysis and focus on precision execution.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike standard candlestick or pattern scanners, this indicator merges institutional market logic with technical candle behavior, allowing traders to see where smart money might be entering or exiting positions.
It’s not about random signals it’s about context, structure, and confirmation.
Every feature in this indicator is built around the principle of liquidity engineering:
price creates liquidity, grabs it, and moves toward imbalance or order flow efficiency.
By merging that institutional logic with candlestick patterns, this tool gives traders an edge in recognizing not only where to trade but why price is reacting in that exact area.

Lynie's V9 SELL🟢🔴 Lynie’s V8 — BUY & SELL (Mirrored, Interlocking System)
Lynie’s V8 is a paired long/short engine built as two mirrored scripts—Lynie’s V8 BUY and Lynie’s V8 SELL—that read price the same way, flip conditions symmetrically, and manage trades with the exact logic on opposite sides. Use either one standalone or run both together for full two-sided automation of entries, re-entries, caution states, and adaptive SL/TP.
✳️ What “mirrored” means here
Supertrend Tri-Stack (10/11/12):
BUY: ST10 primary pierce; ST12 fallback; “PAG Buy” when price pierces any ST while above the other two.
SELL: Exact inverse—ST10 primary pierce down; ST12 fallback; “PAG Sell” when price pierces any ST while below the other two.
Re-Enter Clusters:
BUY: Ratcheted up (Heikin-Ashi green holds/tightens).
SELL: Ratcheted down (Heikin-Ashi red holds/tightens).
Both sides use the same cluster age/decay math, care penalties, session awareness, and fast-candle tightening.
Care Flags (context risk):
Ichimoku, MACD, RSI combine into single and paired flags that tighten or widen offsets on both sides with the same scoring.
VWAP–EMA50 (5m) cluster gate:
Identical distance checks for BUY/SELL. When the mean cluster is present, offsets and labels adapt (tighter/“riskier scalp” messaging).
Golden Pocket A/B/C (prev-day):
Same fib boxes & labeling (gold tone) on both sides to call out TP-friendly zones.
SL/TP Envelope:
Shared dynamic engine: per-bar decay, fast-candle expansion, and care-based compress/relax—all mirrored for up/down.
Caution Labels:
BUY side prints CAUTION SELL if HA flips red inside an active long cluster.
SELL side prints CAUTION BUY if HA flips green inside an active short cluster.
Same latching & auto-release behavior.
🧠 Core workflow (both sides)
Primary trigger via ST10 pierce (structure shift) with an ST12 fallback when ST10 didn’t qualify.
PAG Mode when price is already on the right side of the other two STs—strongest conviction.
Cluster phase begins after a signal: ratcheted re-entry level, session-aware offsets, dynamic tightening on fast bars.
Care system shapes every re-entry & SL/TP label (Ichi/MACD/RSI combos + VWAP/EMA gate + QQE).
Protective layer: SL-wick and SL-body logic, caution flips, and “hold 1 bar” cluster carry after SL to avoid whipsaw spam.
🔎 Labels & messages (shared vocabulary)
Lynie’s / Lynie’s+ / Lynie’s++ — strength tiers (ST12 involvement & clean context).
Re-Enter / Excellent Re-Enter — cluster pullback quality; ratchet shows the “must-hold” zone.
SL&TP (n) — live offset multiplier the engine is using right now.
CAUTION BUY / CAUTION SELL — HA flip against the active side inside the cluster.
Restart Next Candle — visual cue to re-arm after a confirmed signal bar.
⚡ Why run both together
Continuity: When a long cycle ends (SL or caution degradation), the SELL engine is already tracking the inverse without re-tuning.
Symmetry: Same math, same signals, opposite direction—no hidden biases.
Coverage: Trend hand-offs are cleaner; you don’t miss early shorts after a long fade (and vice versa).
🔧 Recommended usage
Intraday futures (ES/NQ) or any liquid market.
Keep the VWAP–EMA cluster ON; it filters FOMO chases.
Honor Caution flips inside cluster—scale down or wait for the next clean re-enter.
Treat Golden Zones as TP magnets, not guaranteed reversals.
📌 Notes
Both scripts are Pine v6 and independent. Load BUY and SELL together for the full experience.
All offsets (re-enter & SL/TP) are visible in labels—so you always know why a zone is where it is.
Alerts are provided for signals, re-enter hits, caution, and SL events on both sides.
Summary: Lynie’s V8 BUY & SELL are vice-versa twins—one framework, two directions—delivering consistent entries, adaptive re-entries, and contextual risk management whether the market is pressing up or breaking down.
Scissors&Knifes V3.1✂️ The Scissors (PAG Chop V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Scissors measure market compression and breakout readiness.
They use a modified Choppiness Index that looks at the relationship between:
True Range volatility (ATR × period length)
The total high–low range over the same window.
The smaller the ratio (sum of TR vs range), the more directional and impulsive the market is.
The higher the ratio, the more “sideways” the market trades.
This version smooths the result over PAG_SMOOTHLEN bars and applies several color bands that correspond to volatility states.
🎨 Color code meaning
Range State Color Interpretation
≤ 30 Strong Red #8B0000 Momentum exhaustion on downside, sellers dominating — about to reverse or already strong down-trend.
30 – 38 Brick Red #A52A2A Fading downside pressure; often the “bleeding edge” of a bearish climax.
38 – 55 Transparent black (α≈100) Neutral chop zone — indecision, range-building.
55 – 61.8 Yellow (optional) #DAA520 Early compression pocket where volatility starts contracting; the calm before a trend.
61.8 – 70 Bright Green #556B2F Energy release phase: volatility breaking out upward.
≥ 70 Strong Green #355E3B Sustained bullish drive, often continuation leg of a trend.
🪶 Secret nuance:
The transition bands (38–45 and 45–55) are treated as fully transparent to mark “dead zones.”
When PAG Chop sits here, all label activity pauses — the system resets its cluster memory so the next colored print begins a new “cluster”, letting you clearly see where fresh directional momentum starts.
🧩 Cluster logic
Every time a colored (non-transparent) reading appears, it belongs to a “color cluster.”
Grey labels (= count 1) mark the genesis of a new cluster, and following counts 2, 3, 4 … represent the internal continuity of that trend state.
You can optionally hide the first N grey or count 2 labels to reduce clutter on the initial stabilization bars.
✂️ Label meaning
Each label shows:
Emoji ✂️
Current count (e.g. ✂️ = 3 means 3 timeframes are simultaneously firing)
Optional list of the timeframes that contribute.
So a high count (e.g. 8–10) means many lower TFs are synchronizing volatility breakout — a multiframe alignment, often just before an acceleration burst.
🔪 The Knife (Mr Blonde V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Mr Blonde converts the slope of a long EMA into an angle-of-attack metric — literally the “tilt” of market momentum.
It computes the EMA gradient relative to price span and rescales it into degrees (-5 ° to +5 °).
The steeper the angle, the stronger the directional push.
🎨 Color code meaning
Angle range Color Interpretation
≥ +5 ° Transparent (Black 1) Fully over-extended up move — wait for reset.
+3.57 – +5 ° Dark Red Strong upward slope, momentum apex.
+2.14 – +3.57 ° Orange Medium upward slope, trend acceleration zone.
+0.71 – +2.14 ° Light Orange Mild upward bias, pre-momentum phase.
0 to -0.71 ° Yellow Neutral transition.
-0.71 – -2.14 ° Olive Green Soft bearish slope.
-2.14 – -3.57 ° Olive Drab Building bearish momentum.
-3.57 – -5 ° Hunter Green Strong downward angle, aggressive push.
≤ -5 ° Transparent (Black 2) Oversold/over-tilted — likely exhaustion.
🪶 Secret nuance:
Mr Blonde uses a “span normalization” factor that divides EMA slope by the dynamic range of highs and lows.
This lets it compare angles fairly across assets with different volatility profiles (e.g. BTC vs ES) — it’s one of the rare EMA-angle implementations that self-scales properly.
🗡 Label meaning
Emoji 🔪
Count = how many TFs share the same momentum angle bias.
When many TFs show the same slope polarity (e.g. knife = 8), you’re in a deep momentum cascade — a “knife trend.”
💫 Yellow knife
The yellow state marks neutrality or slope flattening.
If you enable yellow visibility (mb_show_yellow), you can see where momentum cools off — often the earliest reversal hint.
⚙️ Shared mechanics between ✂️ and 🔪
Multi-timeframe sweep
The script cycles through 1 m → 10 m by default, running both engines once per TF.
Each returning true adds +1 to the count.
So:
sc_hits = count of timeframes where PAG fires + 1
knife_hits = count of timeframes where MB fires + 1
That “+1 shift” means there’s always at least 1, letting count = 1 represent the local TF itself.
Cluster limiter
If Limit max labels per cluster is on, you cap how many total symbols (both ✂️ & 🔪, including trails) can appear within one color phase — avoiding chart spam during extended trends.
Trails
Each printed label seeds a short-lived “trail” sequence — faded copies extending N bars forward.
Trails visualize the linger effect of the last signal, useful for visually connecting bursts in momentum.
Grey or count = 1 labels can have shorter or longer trails depending on your overrides (*_trail_bars_grey).
They’re purely visual and do not affect alerting.
Alerts
Alerts fire independently of whether you hide labels — unless you enable “respect filters”.
This guarantees you never miss a structural signal even if you suppress visuals for clarity.
🌈 Interpreting Both Together
Scenario Interpretation
✂️ = low (1–2) + 🔪 rising (red/orange) Market just leaving chop, early thrust stage.
✂️ = high (≥ 5) + 🔪 green Fully aligned breakout continuation — trend in progress.
✂️ = yellow cluster + 🔪 yellow Volatility squeeze, energy buildup — next expansion near.
✂️ = green cluster → 🔪 turns red Cross-state conflict; likely transition or correction.
✂️ = grey + 🔪 grey Reset condition — both engines cooling; stand aside.
💡 Hidden edge:
Scissors signal potential, Knife measures kinetic force.
The perfect storm is when ✂️ goes from yellow→green one bar before 🔪 shifts from orange→green — it catches the birth of directional flow while volatility is still tight.
🧭 Reading the labels intuitively
Grey ✂️/🔪 = 1 → embryonic state, may fizzle or bloom.
✂️/🔪 = 2 or 3 → expansion taking hold.
✂️/🔪 ≥ 4 (mid black) → strong synchronized drive across TFs.
Transparent gap → cluster reset; prepare for new phase.
Trail lines → echo of previous cluster strength.
Final secret tip 🗝
Because both engines are mathematically uncorrelated (volatility vs EMA angle), when they agree in color polarity on multiple TFs, you have one of the cleanest probabilistic trend windows possible.
If you ever see ✂️ = 6 + 🔪 = 6 both pointing the same way — that’s a “knife-through-the-scissors” moment: volatility expansion and directional slope synchronized — those are the bars where institutional algorithms tend to add size.
Renko ATR Trend + SMA Indicator by YCGH Capital🧭 Overview
The Renko ATR Trend + SMA Indicator is a trend-following tool designed for chart trading.
It combines Renko-style price movement logic (based on ATR) with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) filter to identify sustained bullish or bearish phases on any timeframe.
It plots a color-coded trend line directly on the price chart — green for bullish trends, red for bearish — and maintains a single active state (no repeated buy/sell signals) until the opposite condition appears.
⚙️ How It Works
1️⃣ Renko ATR Engine
Instead of using fixed box sizes like classic Renko charts, this indicator builds synthetic Renko movement based on ATR (Average True Range) of a chosen timeframe.
It pulls OHLC data from your selected Renko Source Timeframe (for example, 60-minute candles).
It calculates an ATR brick size — representing the minimum price move needed for a new Renko brick.
When price moves by at least one ATR in the opposite direction, it flips the trend.
This filters out small fluctuations and captures the underlying directional bias.
2️⃣ SMA Filter
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) acts as a trend confirmation filter.
Only when Renko direction aligns with the price relative to the SMA, a trend signal activates.
BUY → Renko uptrend + price above SMA
SELL → Renko downtrend + price below SMA
3️⃣ Stateful Signal Logic
Unlike typical indicators that spam multiple buy/sell shapes:
This version holds one persistent signal (Buy or Sell)
The state continues until an opposite signal is confirmed
No “continuation” arrows — clean and minimal trend visualization
🎨 Visuals
Element Meaning
🟩 Green Renko Line Active Bullish Trend
🟥 Red Renko Line Active Bearish Trend
⚪ Gray Line Neutral / Waiting phase
🟡 Yellow Line SMA (trend filter)
📍 Label (Buy Active / Sell Active) Displays the current market bias
🔧 Inputs
Input Description
Renko Source Timeframe The timeframe from which Renko data is calculated (e.g., 60 = 1h candles).
ATR Period Determines brick size sensitivity (lower = more responsive, higher = smoother).
SMA Length Moving Average length used as a directional filter.
💡 How Traders Use It
Trend Confirmation:
Use green/red Renko line to stay aligned with the dominant market move.
Entry Timing:
Enter trades when a new Renko direction is confirmed along with SMA alignment.
Exit or Reverse:
Exit long when a red line (Sell Active) appears, and vice versa.
Combine with Price Action:
Add support/resistance or volume analysis for confirmation.
S&P Trading System with PivotsThe S&P Trading System with Pivots is a TradingView indicator designed for the 30-minute SPX chart to guide SPY options trading. It uses a trend-following strategy with:
10 SMA and 50 SMA: Plots a 10-period (blue) and 50-period (red) Simple Moving Average. A bullish crossover (10 SMA > 50 SMA) signals a potential buy (green triangle below bar), while a bearish crossunder (10 SMA < 50 SMA) signals a sell or exit (red triangle above bar).
Trend Bias: Colors the background green (bullish) or red (bearish) based on SMA positions.
Pivot Points: Marks recent highs (orange circles) and lows (purple circles) as potential resistance and support levels, using a 5-bar lookback period.
Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.
**Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):**
- EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures)
- GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures)

**Supported Cross Pairs (6):**
- EURJPY → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPJPY → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
- EURGBP → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- AUDJPY → CME:6A1! (Uses Australian Dollar Futures)
- EURAUD → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPAUD → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
**Supported Precious Metals (2):**
- Gold (XAUUSD, GOLD) → COMEX:GC1! (Gold Futures)
- Silver (XAGUSD, SILVER) → COMEX:SI1! (Silver Futures)
**Supported Energy Commodities (3):**
- WTI Crude Oil (USOIL, WTIUSD) → NYMEX:CL1! (Crude Oil Futures)

- Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures)
**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.
## How to Use
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. The indicator displays in a separate pane (MACD) and overlay (signals/volume bars)
3. Default settings work well for most assets, but can be customized
### Signal Interpretation
### Visual Signals
**Visual Signals:**
- **Green "BUY" label** - Bullish MACD crossover confirmed by high volume
- **Red "SELL" label** - Bearish MACD crossunder confirmed by high volume
- **Green/Red candles** - Highlight bars with volume exceeding the threshold
- **Light green/red background** - Emphasizes signal bars on the chart
**Information Table:**
A detailed information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane, providing real-time transparency about the indicator's operation:
- **Chart:** Current symbol being analyzed
- **Exchange:** The exchange or data feed being used
- **Pair:** The currency pair or asset name extracted from the ticker
- **Volume From:** The actual symbol used for volume analysis
- Orange color indicates CME or COMEX futures are being used (automatic institutional volume)
- Yellow color indicates native volume from the chart symbol is being used
- Hover tooltip shows whether automatic futures mapping is active
- **High Volume:** Current status showing YES (green) when volume exceeds threshold, NO (gray) otherwise
This table ensures complete transparency and allows you to verify that the correct volume source is being used for your analysis.
**Volume Analysis:**
- Gray histogram bars = Normal volume
- Red histogram bars = High volume (exceeds threshold)
- Green line = Volume moving average baseline
**MACD Analysis:**
- Blue line = MACD line (momentum indicator)
- Orange line = Signal line (trend confirmation)
- Gray dotted line = Zero line (bullish above, bearish below)
### Parameter Customization
**MACD Parameters:**
- Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths for different sensitivities
- Shorter periods = More signals, faster response
- Longer periods = Fewer signals, less noise
**Volume Parameters:**
- **Volume MA Period:** Higher values smooth volume analysis
- **High Volume Ratio:** Lower values (1.5x) = More signals; Higher values (3.0x) = Fewer, stronger signals
- **Volume Lookback Bars:** Controls how recent the volume spike must be
**Direction Filters:**
- **Only Buy Signals:** Enables long-only strategy mode
- **Only Sell Signals:** Enables short-only strategy mode
### Alert Configuration
The indicator includes three alert types:
1. **Buy Signal Alert** - Triggers when bullish signal appears
2. **Sell Signal Alert** - Triggers when bearish signal appears
3. **High Volume Alert** - Triggers when volume exceeds threshold
To set up alerts:
1. Click the indicator name → "Add alert on Smart MACD Volume Trader"
2. Select desired alert condition
3. Configure notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.)
## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.
## Technical Details
**Calculations:**
- MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength)
- MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength)
- MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA
- Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength)
- Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume
- High Volume: Current volume >= Volume MA × Ratio
**Signal logic:**
```
Buy Signal = (MACD crosses above Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
Sell Signal = (MACD crosses below Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
```

You get: **CVD/Delta**, volume-weighted **Momentum**, **Aggression** spikes, **FVG (MTF)** with nearest side, **Daily Volume Profile (VAH/POC/VAL)**, **ATR regime**, a **24h position gauge**, classic **candle patterns**, IBH/IBL + **first-hour “true close”** lines, and a **10-vote confluence scoreboard**—all in one view.

## What’s inside (and how to trade it)
### 🌍 Institutional Sessions (Sydney • Tokyo • London • New York)
* Session boxes + a highlighted **first hour**.
* Plots the **true close** (first-hour close) as a running line with a label.
**Use:** Many desks anchor risk to this print. Above = bullish bias; below = bearish. **IBH/IBL** breaks during London/NY carry the most signal.
### 📊 CVD / Delta (Flow)
* Net buyer vs seller pressure with smooth trend state.
**Use:** **Rising CVD + acceptance above mid/POC** confirms continuation. Bearish price + rising CVD = caution (possible absorption).
### ⚡ Volume-Weighted Momentum
* Momentum adjusted by participation quality (volume).
**Use:** Momentum>MA and >0 → trend drive is “real”; <0 and falling → distribution risk.
### 🔥 Aggression Detector
* ROC × normalized volume × wick factor to flag **forceful** candles.
**Use:** On spikes, avoid fading blindly—wait for pullbacks into **aligned FVG** or for aggression to cool.
### 🟦🟪 Fair Value Gaps (with MTF)
* Detects up to 3 recent FVGs and marks the **nearest** side to price.
**Use:** Trend pullbacks into **bullish FVG** for longs; bounces into **bearish FVG** for shorts. Optional threshold to filter weak gaps.
### 🧭 24h Gauge (positioning)
* Shows current price across the 24h low⇢high with a mid reference.
**Use:** Above mid and pushing upper third = momentum continuation setups; below mid = sell the rips bias.
### 🧱 Daily Volume Profile (manual per day)
* **VAH / POC / VAL** derived from discretized rows.
**Use:** **POC below** supports longs; **POC above** caps rallies. Fade VAH/VAL in ranges; treat them as break/hold levels in trends.
### 📈 ATR Regime
* **ATR vs ATR-avg** with direction and regime flag (**HIGH / NORMAL / LOW**).
**Use:** HIGH ⇒ give trades room & favor trend following. LOW ⇒ fade edges, scale targets.
### 🕯️ Candle Patterns (contextual, not standalone)
* Engulfings, Morning/Evening Star, 3 Soldiers/Crows, Harami, Hammer/Shooting Star, Double Top/Bottom.
**Use:** Only with session + flow + momentum alignment.
### 🤝 Price–Volume Classification
* Labels each bar as **continuation**, **exhaustion**, **distribution**, or **healthy pullback**.
**Use:** Align continuation reads with trend; treat “Price↑ + Vol↓” as a caution flag.
### 🧪 Confluence Scoreboard & B/S Meter
* Ten elements vote: 🔵 bull, ⚪ neutral, 🟣 bear.
**Use:** Execution filter—take setups when the board’s skew matches your trade direction.

## Playbooks (actionable)
**Trend Pullback (Long)**
1. London/NY active, Momentum↑, CVD↑, price above 24h mid & POC.
2. Pullback into **nearest bullish FVG**.
3. Invalidate under FVG low or **true-close** line.
4. Targets: IBH → VAH → 24h high.
**Range Fade (Short)**
1. Asia/quiet regime, **Price↑ + Vol↓** into **VAH**, ATR low.
2. Nearest FVG bearish or scoreboard skew bearish.
3. Invalidate above VAH/IBH.
4. Targets: POC → VAL.
**News/Impulse**
Aggression spike? Don’t chase. Let it pull back into the aligned FVG; require CVD/Momentum agreement before entry.

## Alerts (included)
* **Bull/Bear Confluence ≥ 7/10**
* **Intraday Target Achieved** / **Daily Target Achieved**
* **Session True-Close Retests** (Sydney/Tokyo/London/NY)
*(Keep alerts “Once per bar” unless you specifically want intrabar triggers.)*
---
## Setup Tips
* **UTC**: Choose the reference that matches how you track sessions (default UTC+2).
* **Volume threshold**: 2.0× is a strong baseline; raise for noisy alts, lower for majors.
* **CVD smoothing**: 14–24 for scalps; 24–34 for slower markets.
* **ATR lengths**: Keep defaults unless your asset has a persistent regime shift.

## Why this framework?
Because **timing (sessions)**, **truth (flow)**, and **location (value/FVG)** together beat any single signal. You get *who is trading*, *how strong the push is*, and *where risk lives*—on one screen—so execution is faster and cleaner.

DCA Percent SignalOverview
The DCA Percent Signal Indicator generates buy and sell signals based on percentage drops from all-time highs and percentage gains from lowest lows since ATH. This indicator is designed for pyramiding strategies where each signal represents a configurable percentage of equity allocation.
Definitions
DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging): An investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of price fluctuations. This indicator generates signals for a DCA-style pyramiding approach.
Gann Bar Types: Classification system for price bars based on their relationship to the previous bar:
Up Bar: High > previous high AND low ≥ previous low
Down Bar: High ≤ previous high AND low < previous low
Inside Bar: High ≤ previous high AND low ≥ previous low
Outside Bar: High > previous high AND low < previous low
ATH (All-Time High): The highest price level reached during the entire chart period
ATL (All-Time Low): The lowest price level reached since the most recent ATH
Pyramiding: A trading strategy that adds to positions on favorable price movements
Look-Ahead Bias: Using future information that wouldn't be available in real-time trading
Default Properties
Signal Thresholds:
Buy Threshold: 10% (triggers every 10% drop from ATH)
Sell Threshold: 30% (triggers every 30% gain from lowest low since ATH)
Price Sources:
ATH Tracking: High (ATH detection)
ATL Tracking: Low (low detection)
Buy Signal Source: Low (buy signals)
Sell Signal Source: High (sell signals)
Filter Options:
Apply Gann Filter: False (disabled by default)
Buy Sets ATL: False (disabled by default)
Display Options:
Show Buy/Sell Signals: True
Show Reference Lines: True
Show Info Table: False
Show Bar Type: False
How It Works
Buy Signals: Trigger every 10% drop from the all-time highest price reached
Sell Signals: Trigger every 30% increase from the lowest low since the most recent all-time high
Smart Tracking: Uses configurable price sources for signal generation
Key Features
Configurable Thresholds: Adjustable buy/sell percentage thresholds (default: 10%/30%)
Separate Price Sources: Independent sources for ATH tracking, ATL tracking, and signal triggers
Configurable Signals: Uses low for buy signals and high for sell signals by default
Optional Gann Filter: Apply Gann bar analysis for additional signal filtering
Optional Buy Sets ATL: Option to set ATL reference point when buy signals occur
Visual Debug: Detailed labels showing signal parameters and values
Usage Instructions
Apply to Chart: Use on any timeframe (recommended: 1D or higher for better signal quality)
Risk Management: Adjust thresholds based on your risk tolerance and market volatility
Signal Analysis: Monitor debug labels for detailed signal information and validation
Signal Logic
Buy signals are blocked when ATH increases to prevent buying at peaks
Sell signals are blocked when ATL decreases to prevent selling at lows
This ensures signals only trigger on subsequent bars, not the same bar that establishes new reference points
Buy Signals:
Calculate drop percentage from ATH to buy signal source
Trigger when drop reaches threshold increments (10%, 20%, 30%, etc.)
Always blocked on ATH bars to prevent buying at peaks
Optional: Also blocked on up/outside bars when Gann filter enabled
Sell Signals:
Calculate gain percentage from lowest low to sell signal source
Trigger when gain reaches threshold increments (30%, 60%, 90%, etc.)
Always blocked when ATL decreases to prevent selling at lows
Optional: Also blocked on down bars when Gann filter enabled
Limitations
Designed for trending markets; may generate many signals in sideways/ranging markets
Requires sufficient price movement to be effective
Not suitable for scalping or very short timeframes
Implementation Notes
Signals use optimistic price sources (low for buys, high for sells), these can be configured to be more conservative
Gann filter provides additional signal filtering based on bar types
Debug information available in data window for real-time analysis
Detailed labels on each signal show ATH, lowest low, buy level, sell level, and drop/gain percentages
