KK_Traders Dynamic Index_Bar HighlightingHey guys,
this is one of my favorite scripts as it represents a whole trading system that has given me very good results!
I have only used it on Bitcoin so far but I am sure it will also work for other instruments.
The original code to this was created by LazyBear, so all props to him for this great script!
I have linked his original post down below.
You can find the full rules to the system in this PDF (which has also been taken from LBs post):
www.forexmt4.com
Here is a short summary of the rules:
Go long when (all conditions have to be met):
The green line is above 50
The green line is above the red line
The green line is above the orange line
The close is above the upper Band of the Price Action Channel
The candles close is above its open
(The green line is below 68)
Go short when (all conditions have to be met):
The green line is below 50
The green line is below the red line
The green line is below the orange line
The close is below the lower band of the Price Action Channel
The candles close is below its open
(The green line is above 32)
Close when:
Any of these conditions aren't true anymore.
I have marked two of the rules in brackets as they seem to cut out a lot of the profits this system generates. You can choose to still use these rules by checking the box that says "Use Original Ruleset" in the options.
The system also contains rules regarding the Heiken Ashi bars. However these aren't as specific as the other rules. This is where your personal judgement comes in and this part is hard to explain. Take a look at the PDF I have linked to get a better understanding.
So far, this is just the TDI trading system and LBs script, now what have I changed?
I have incorporated the Price Action Channel to the system and changed it so that it highlights the bars whenever the system is giving a signal. As long as the bars are green the system is giving a long signal, as long as they are red the system is giving a short signal. Keep in mind that this doesn't consider the bar size of the HA bars. I recommend coloring all bars grey via the chart settings in order to be able to see the bar highlighting properly.
I have also published the Price Action Channel seperately in case some of you wish to view the Channel.
I am fairly new to creating scripts so use it with caution and let me know what you think!

We Are Witnessing A Historical Event With A Clear Outcome!!!"Full Disclosure: I came across this information from www.SentimenTrader.com
I have no financial affiliation…They provide incredible statistical facts on
The General Market, Currencies, and Futures. They offer a two week free trial.
I Highly Recommend.
The S&P 500 has gone 43 trading days without a 1% daily move, up or down.
which is the equivalent of two months and one day in trading days.
During this stretch, the S&P has gained more than 4%,
and it has notched a 52-week high recently as well.
Since 1952, there were nine other precedents. All of
these went 42 trading days without a 1% move, all of
them saw the S&P gain at least 4% during their streaks,
and all of them saw the S&P close at a 52-week highs.
***There was consistent weakness a week later, with only three
gainers, and all below +0.5%.
***After that, stocks did better, often continuing an Extraordinary move higher.
Charts can sometimes give us a better nuance than
numbers from a table, and from the charts we can see a
general pattern -
***if stocks held up well in the following
weeks, then they tended to do extremely well in the
months ahead.
***If stocks started to stumble after this two-
month period of calm, however, then the following months
tended to show a lot more volatility.
We already know we're seeing an exceptional market
environment at the moment, going against a large number
of precedents that argued for weakness here, instead of
the rally we've seen. If we continue to head higher in
spite of everything, these precedents would suggest that
we're in the midst of something that could be TRULY EXTRAORDINARY.
Trading Strategy based on BB/KC squeeze**** [Edit: New version (v02) posted, see the comments section for the code *****
Simple strategy. You only consider taking a squeeze play when both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel. When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and a move is about to take place.
I have added more support indicators -- I highlight the bullish / bearish KC breaches (using GREEN/RED crosses) and a SAR to see where price action is trending.
Appreciate any feedback. Enjoy!
Color codes for v02:
----------------------------
When both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel, the squeeze is on and is highlighted in RED.
When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and is highlighted in GREEN.
When one of the Bollinger Bands is out of Keltner Channel, no highlighting is done (this means, the background color shows up, so don't get confused if you have RED/GREEN in your chart's bground :))
Color codes for v01:
----------------------------
When both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel, the squeeze is on and is highlighted in YELLOW.
When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and is highlighted in BLUE.
Delta Zones Smart Money Concept (SMC) UT Trend Reversal Mul.Sig.🚀 What's New in This Version (V5 Update)
This version is a major overhaul focused on improving trade entry timing and risk management through enhanced UT Bot functionality:
Integrated UT Trailing Stop (ATR-based): The primary trend filter and moving stop-loss mechanism is now fully integrated.
Pre-Warning Line: A revolutionary feature that alerts traders when the price penetrates a specific percentage distance (customizable) from the UT Trailing Stop before the main reversal signal fires.
"Ready" Signal: Plots a "Ready" warning label on the chart and triggers an alert condition (UT Ready Long/Short) for pre-emptive trade preparation.
V5 Compatibility: All code has been optimized for Pine Script version 5, utilizing the modern array and type structures for efficient Order Block and Breaker Block detection.
💡 How to Use This Indicator
This indicator works best when confirming signals across different components:
1. Identify the Trend Bias (UT Trailing Stop)
Uptrend: UT Trailing Stop line is Green (Focus only on Buy/Long opportunities).
Downtrend: UT Trailing Stop line is Red (Focus only on Sell/Short opportunities).
2. Prepare for Entry (Warning Line)
Action: When you see the "Ready" label or the price hits the Pre-Warning Line (Dotted Orange Line), this is your alert to prepare for a trend flip, or to tighten the stop on your current trade.
3. Confirm the Entry (Multi-Signals)
Look for a primary entry signal that aligns with the desired trend:
High-Conviction Entry: Wait for the UT Buy/Sell label (confirmed trend flip) AND a Combined Buy/Sell arrow (confirmed by your selected Oscillator settings).
High-Liquidity Entry: Look for a Delta Zone Box forming near an active Order Block or Breaker Block (SMC zones), and then confirm with a UT or Combined Signal.
4. Manage Risk (Trailing Stop)
Always set your initial Stop Loss (SL) either just outside the opposite Order Block or at the UT Trailing Stop level itself.
If the price closes back across the UT Trailing Stop, exit your position immediately, as the trend bias has officially shifted.
Features & Components
1. Delta Zones (Liquidity/Wick Pressure)
Identifies periods of extreme buying or selling pressure based on wick-to-body ratios and standard deviation analysis.
Plots colored pressure boxes (Buy/Sell) to highlight potential exhaustion points or institutional activity.
2. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
Automatically detects and plots Order Blocks (OBs) and Breaker Blocks (BBs) based on confirmed Market Structure Breaks (MSBs).
Includes Chop Control logic to remove less reliable Breaker Blocks.
3. UT Bot Trailing Stop & Warning Line
UT Trailing Stop (ATR-based): Plots a dynamic trend line (Green/Red) that acts as a moving stop-loss and primary trend filter.
Ready/Warning Signals: Alerts traders (via the "Ready" label and orange lines) when the price enters a "Pre-Reversal Zone" near the Trailing Stop.
4. Multi-Indicator Confirmation (Filters)
Includes customizable signals based on the crossover/crossunder of RSI, CCI, and Stochastic indicators against configurable Overbought/Oversold levels.
Allows selection of combination signals (e.g., RSI & CCI, All Combined, etc.) for high-conviction entries.
Volatility Signal-to-Noise Ratio🙏🏻 this is VSNR: the most effective and simple volatility regime detector & automatic volatility threshold scaler that somehow no1 ever talks about.
This is simply an inverse of the coefficient of variation of absolute returns, but properly constructed taking into account temporal information, and made online via recursive math with algocomplexity O(1) both in expanding and moving windows modes.
How do the available alternatives differ (while some’re just worse)?
Mainstream quant stat tests like Durbin-Watson, Dickey-Fuller etc: default implementations are ALL not time aware. They measure different kinds of regime, which is less (if at all) relevant for actual trading context. Mix of different math, high algocomplexity.
The closest one is MMI by financialhacker, but his approach is also not time aware, and has a higher algocomplexity anyways. Best alternative to mine, but pls modify it to use a time-weighted median.
Fractal dimension & its derivatives by John Ehlers: again not time aware, very low info gain, relies on bar sizes (high and lows), which don’t always exist unlike changes between datapoints. But it’s a geometric tool in essence, so this is fundamental. Let it watch your back if you already use it.
Hurst exponent: much higher algocomplexity, mix of parametric and non-parametric math inside. An invention, not a math entity. Again, not time aware. Also measures different kinds of regime.
How to set it up:
Given my other tools, I choose length so that it will match the amount of data that your trading method or study uses multiplied by ~ 4-5. E.g if you use some kind of bands to trade volatility and you calculate them over moving window 64, put VSNR on 256.
However it depends mathematically on many things, so for your methods you may instead need multipliers of 1 or ~ 16.
Additionally if you wanna use all data to estimate SNR, put 0 into length input.
How to use for regime detection:
First we define:
MR bias: mean reversion bias meaning volatility shorts would work better, fading levels would work better
Momo bias: momentum bias meaning volatility longs would work better, trading breakouts of levels would work better.
The study plots 3 horizontal thresholds for VSNR, just check its location:
Above upper level: significant Momo bias
Above 1 : Momo bias
Below 1 : MR bias
Below lower level: significant MR bias
Take a look at the screenshots, 2 completely different volatility regimes are spotted by VSNR, while an ADF does not show different regime:
^^ CBOT:ZN1!
^^ INDEX:BTCUSD
How to use as automatic volatility threshold scaler
Copy the code from the script, and use VSNR as a multiplier for your volatility threshold.
E.g you use a regression channel and fade/push upper and lower thresholds which are RMSEs multiples. Inside the code, multiply RMSE by VSNR, now you’re adaptive.
^^ The same logic as when MM bots widen spreads with vola goes wild.
How it works:
Returns follow Laplace distro -> logically abs returns follow exponential distro , cuz laplace = double exponential.
Exponential distro has a natural coefficient of variation = 1 -> signal to noise ratio defined as mean/stdev = 1 as well. The same can be said for Student t distro with parameter v = 4. So 1 is our main threshold.
We can add additional thresholds by discovering SNRs of Student t with v = 3 and v = 5 (+- 1 from baseline v = 4). These have lighter & heavier tails each favoring mean reversion or momentum more. I computed the SNR values you see in the code with mpmath python module, with precision 256 decimals, so you can trust it I put it on my momma.
Then I use exponential smoothing with properly defined alphas (one matches cumulative WMA and another minimizes error with WMA in moving window mode) to estimate SNR of abs returns.
…
Lightweight huh?

Fib and Slope Trend Detector [EWT] + MTF Dashboard🚀 Overview
The Momentum Structure Trend Detector is a sophisticated trend-following tool that combines Price Velocity (Slope) with Market Structure (Fibonacci) to identify high-probability trend reversals and continuations.
Unlike traditional indicators that rely heavily on lagging moving averages, this script analyzes the speed of price action in real-time. It operates on the core principle of market structure: Impulse moves are fast and steep, while corrections are slow and shallow.
🧠 The Logic: Physics Meets Market Structure
This indicator determines the trend direction by calculating the Slope (Velocity) of price swings.
ZigZag Calculation: It first identifies market swings (Highs and Lows) using a standard pivot detection algorithm.
Slope Calculation: It calculates the velocity of every completed leg using the formula: $Slope = \frac{|Price Change|}{|Time Duration|}$.
Trend Definition:
Uptrend : If the previous Up-move was fast (Impulse) and the subsequent Down-move is slower (Correction), the market is primed for an uptrend.
Downtrend : If the previous Down-move was fast (Impulse) and the subsequent Up-move is slower (Correction), the market is primed for a downtrend.
🔥 Key Features
1. Aggressive Real-Time Detection (No Lag)
Most structure indicators wait for a "Higher High" to confirm a trend, which often leads to late entries. This script uses an Aggressive Live Slope calculation:
It compares the current developing slope of the live price action against the slope of the previous completed leg.
Result: As soon as the current move becomes "steeper" (faster) than the previous correction, the trend flips immediately. This allows you to catch the "meat" of the move before a new pivot is even confirmed.
2. Fibonacci Validity Filter
Momentum alone isn't enough; we need structural integrity.
The script calculates the 78.6% Retracement level of the impulse leg.
If a correction moves deeper than this Fibonacci limit (on a closing basis), the trend structure is considered "broken" or "invalid," and the indicator switches to a Neutral state. This filters out choppy/ranging markets.
3. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard
A customizable dashboard on the chart allows for fractal analysis. You can view the trend state (UP/DOWN/NEUTRAL) across 9 different timeframes (1m to 1M) simultaneously.
Green Row : Uptrend
Red Row : Downtrend
Gray : Neutral/Indeterminate
4. Smart Visuals
Background Colo r: Changes dynamically (Teal for Bullish, Red for Bearish, Gray for Neutral) to give you an instant read of the market state.
Slope Labels : Displays the calculated numeric slope on the chart, helping you visualize the momentum difference between impulse and corrective waves.
Invalidation Levels : Automatically plots the invalidation line (Stop Loss level) based on the market structure.
🛠️ Settings & Inputs
Strategy Settings
Pivot Deviation Length : Sensitivity of the ZigZag calculation (Default: 5). Lower numbers = more sensitive to small swings.
Max Retracement % : The Fibonacci limit for a valid correction (Default: 78.6%).
Min Bars for Live Calc : To prevent noise, the script waits for this many bars after a pivot before calculating the "Live Slope" (Default: 3).
Dashboard Settings
Show Dashboard : Toggle the table on/off.
Timeframe Toggles : Enable/Disable specific timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W, 1M) to suit your trading style.
🎯 How to Use
Wait for Background Change : When the background turns Teal, it indicates that a corrective pullback has ended and a new impulse with high velocity has begun.
Check Invalidation : Look at the plotted Stop Loss Level. If price closes below this line, the trade idea is invalid.
Confirm with Dashboard : Use the table to ensure the higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) align with your current chart's direction for higher probability setups.
Disclaimer : This tool is designed for trend analysis and educational purposes. Past performance (momentum) is not indicative of future results. Always manage your risk.

Defended Price Levels (DPLs) — Melvin Dickover ConceptThis indicator identifies and draws horizontal “Defended Price Levels” (DPLs) exactly as originally described by Melvin E. Dickover in his trading methodology.
Dickover observed that when extreme relative volume and extreme “freedom of movement” (volume-to-price-movement ratio) occur on the same bar, especially on bars with large gaps or unusually large bodies, the closing price (or previous close) of that bar very often becomes a significant future support/resistance level that the market later “defends.”
This script automates the detection of those exact coincident spikes using two well-known public indicators:
Relative Volume (RVI)
• Original idea: Melvin Dickover
• Pine Script implementation used here: “Relative Volume Indicator (Freedom Of Movement)” by LazyBear
Link:
Freedom of Movement (FoM)
• Original idea and calculation: starbolt64
• Pine Script: “Freedom of Movement” by starbolt64
Link:
How this indicator works
Calculates the raw (possibly negative) LazyBear RVI and starbolt64’s exact FoM values
Normalizes and standardizes both over the user-defined lookback
Triggers only when both RVI and FoM exceed the chosen number of standard deviations on the same bar (true Dickover coincident-spike condition)
Applies Dickover’s original price-selection rules (uses current close on big gaps or 2× body expansion candles, otherwise previous close)
Draws a thin maroon horizontal ray only when the new level is sufficiently far from all previously drawn levels (default ≥0.8 %) and the maximum number of levels has not been reached
Keeps the chart clean by limiting the total number of significant defended levels shown
This is not a republish or minor variation of the two source scripts — it is a faithful automation of Melvin Dickover’s specific “defended price line” concept that he manually marked using the coincidence of these two indicators.
Full credit goes to:
Melvin E. Dickover — creator of the Defended Price Levels concept
LazyBear — author of the Relative Volume (RVI) implementation used here
starbolt64 — author of the Freedom of Movement indicator and calculation
Settings (all adjustable):
Standard Deviation Length (default 60)
Spike Threshold in standard deviations (default 2.0)
Minimum distance between levels in % (default 0.8 %)
Maximum significant levels to display (15–80)
Use these horizontal maroon lines as potential future support/resistance zones that the market has previously shown strong willingness to defend.
Thank you to Melvin, LazyBear, and starbolt64 for the original work that made this automation possible.
Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – IndicatorWhat this indicator does
Name: Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – Indicator
This is an entry model helper, not just a BOS/MSS marker.
It looks for clean trend-side setups by combining:
MSS (Market Structure Shift) using swing highs/lows
3-bar ICT Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
First retest back into the FVG
A built-in chop / trend filter based on ATR and a moving average
When everything lines up, it plots:
L below the candle = Long candidate
S above the candle = Short candidate
You pair this with a higher-timeframe filter (like the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M) to avoid pressing the button in garbage environments.
How it works (simple explanation)
Chop / Trend filter
Computes ATR and compares each bar’s range to ATR.
If the bar is small vs ATR → more likely CHOP.
If the bar is big vs ATR → more likely TREND.
Uses a moving average:
Above MA + TREND → trendLong zone
Below MA + TREND → trendShort zone
MSS (Market Structure Shift)
Uses swing highs/lows (left/right bars) to track the last significant high/low.
Bullish MSS: close breaks above last swing high with displacement.
Bearish MSS: close breaks below last swing low with displacement.
Those events are marked as tiny triangles (MSS up/down).
A MSS only stays “valid” for a certain number of bars (Bars after MSS allowed).
3-bar ICT FVG
Bullish FVG: low > high
→ gap between bar 3 high and bar 2 low.
Bearish FVG: high < low
→ gap between bar 3 low and bar 2 high.
The indicator stores the FVG boundaries (top/bottom).
Retest of FVG
Watches for price to trade back into that gap (first touch).
That retest is the “entry zone” after the MSS.
Final Long / Short condition
Long (L) prints when:
Recent bullish MSS
Bullish FVG has formed
Price retests the bullish FVG
Environment = trendLong (ATR + above MA)
Not CHOP
Short (S) prints when:
Recent bearish MSS
Bearish FVG has formed
Price retests the bearish FVG
Environment = trendShort (ATR + below MA)
Not CHOP
So the L/S markers are “model-approved entry candles”, not just any random BOS.
Inputs / Settings
Key inputs you’ll see:
ATR length (chop filter)
How many bars to use for ATR in the chop / trend filter.
Lower = more sensitive, twitchy
Higher = smoother, slower to change
Max chop ratio
If barRange / ATR is below this → treat as CHOP.
Min trend ratio
If barRange / ATR is above this → treat as TREND.
Hide MSS/BOS marks in CHOP?
ON = MSS triangles disappear when the bar is classified as CHOP
Keeps your chart cleaner in consolidation
Swing left / right bars
Controls how tight or wide the swing highs/lows are for MSS:
Smaller = more sensitive, more MSS points
Larger = fewer, more significant swings
Bars after MSS allowed
How many bars after a MSS the indicator will still allow FVG entries.
Small value (e.g. 10) = MSS must deliver quickly or it’s ignored.
Larger (e.g. 20) = MSS idea stays “in play” longer.
Visual RR (for info only)
Just for plotting relative risk-reward in your head.
This is not a strategy tester; it doesn’t manage positions.
What you see on the chart
Small green triangle up = Bullish MSS
Small red triangle down = Bearish MSS
“L” triangle below a bar = Long idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendLong + not chop)
“S” triangle above a bar = Short idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendShort + not chop)
Faint circle plots on price:
When the filter sees CHOP
When it sees Trend Long zone
When it sees Trend Short zone
You do not have to trade every L or S.
They’re there to show “this is where the model would have considered an entry.”
How to use it in your trading
1. Use it with a higher-timeframe filter
Best practice:
Use this with the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M or some other HTF filter.
Only consider L/S when:
Chop Meter = TRADE / NORMAL, and
This indicator prints L or S in the right location (premium/discount, near OB/FVG, etc.)
If higher-timeframe says NO TRADE, you ignore all L/S.
2. Location > Signal
Treat L/S as confirmation, not the whole story.
For shorts (S):
Look for premium zones (previous highs, OBs, fair value ranges above mid).
Want purge / raid of liquidity + MSS down + bearish FVG retest → then S.
For longs (L):
Look for discount zones (previous lows, OBs/FVGs below mid).
Want stop raid / purge low + MSS up + bullish FVG retest → then L.
If you see L/S firing in the middle of a bigger range, that’s where you skip and let it go.
3. Instrument presets (example)
You can tune the ATR/chop settings per instrument:
MNQ (noisy, 1m chart):
ATR length: 21
Max chop ratio: 0.90
Min trend ratio: 1.40
Bars after MSS allowed: 10
GOLD (cleaner, 3m chart):
ATR length: 14
Max chop ratio: 0.80
Min trend ratio: 1.30
Bars after MSS allowed: 20
You can save those as presets in the TV settings for quick switching.
4. How to practice with it
Open replay on a couple of days.
Check Chop Meter → if NO TRADE, just observe.
When Chop Meter says TRADE:
Mark where L/S printed.
Ask:
Was this in premium/discount?
Was there SMT / purge on HTF?
Did the move actually deliver, or did it die?
Screenshot the A+ L/S and the ugly ones; refine:
ATR length
Chop / trend thresholds
MSS lookback
Your goal is to get it to where:
The L/S marks show up mostly in the same places your eye already likes,
and you ignore the rest.
200SMA Distance OscillatorThe oscillator measures the percentage deviation of closing price x from SMA200.
The idea behind the oscillator was preceded by an analysis of how often MAs in the index hold/bounce or are broken through.
Basically, the idea was about index analysis, i.e., the macro picture of a market.
Who wants to buy individual stocks when the overall market is plummeting ;-)
Or in other words: How long are you long in a market? When is it time to take profits?
After the analysis of the stability of SMAs in the index was rather modest (ratio of just under 6:4 for bounce to breakout – overall in 20, 50, 100, and 200 frames from 2020 to 2025), it was noticeable that the percentage over- or underperformance was scalable, especially in indices.
And since indices generally move upwards, there were fixed limits for over- and underestimations – especially in the longer term (SMA200) – unlike with individual stocks.
It is therefore more a question of macro trends and less of short-term movements, e.g., in day trading.
It was now interesting to see at what percentage range counter-movements were likely – particularly in the positive range for profit-taking, but of course also in the negative range for entry into sold-off markets.
If, for example, closing prices around +25% above SMA200 were reached in the NDX, the probability is very high that the market has overreacted and an interim correction will follow – so the theory goes.
On the other hand, continuous levels of +5 to +10% are a product of healthy positive development in a bull market and do not necessarily require action.
The oscillator was specifically designed for the NDX, but can also be used for the SPX and others.
The style was based on the RSI, so that the color level rises from 10% to 20% (overbought/oversold principle).
Based on manually examined movements, the criteria were set as follows:
+/-10% = flow / no color background
> +/-10% = border areas / color background
The center line represents the 252 average of the percentage deviations and could also be used as a trigger, provided it has been historically examined and is valid.
The oscillator is very interesting because it behaves completely differently from one financial instrument to another and, as a result, also in the timeframes (4h, D, W).
It would probably make sense to change the flow and border levels in the code when using it outside of indices.
The fact is that the oscillator must be “adjusted” to each instrument in order to achieve its goal of providing the best possible prediction. “Adjusting” refers to the analysis of the levels at which an instrument/asset usually reacts.
As with all indicators and oscillators, it is advisable to take other indicators and, in particular, macro news into account when analyzing this development.
If I find any substantial correlations with other indicators, I will be happy to provide an update.
The idea came from me, the code from Grok.
The code is not 100% perfect, but the data (percentage deviation, color background) is correct according to initial analysis.
In the settings, you can make the lines of the plots invisible. This makes the oscillator clearer. You can also adjust the settings for the average line.
Flux-Tensor Singularity [FTS]Flux-Tensor Singularity - Multi-Factor Market Pressure Indicator
The Flux-Tensor Singularity (FTS) is an advanced multi-factor oscillator that combines volume analysis, momentum tracking, and volatility-weighted normalization to identify critical market inflection points. Unlike traditional single-factor indicators, FTS synthesizes price velocity, volume mass, and volatility context into a unified framework that adapts to changing market regimes.
This indicator identifies extreme market conditions (termed "singularities") where multiple confirming factors converge, then uses a sophisticated scoring system to determine directional bias. It is designed for traders seeking high-probability setups with built-in confluence requirements.
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The indicator is built on the premise that market time is not constant - different market conditions contain varying levels of information density. A 1-minute bar during a major news event contains far more actionable information than a 1-minute bar during overnight low-volume trading. Traditional indicators treat all bars equally; FTS does not.
The theoretical framework draws conceptual parallels to physics (purely as a mental model, not literal physics):
Volume as Mass: Large volume represents significant market participation and "weight" behind price moves. Just as massive objects have stronger gravitational effects, high-volume moves carry more significance.
Price Change as Velocity: The rate of price movement through price space represents momentum and directional force.
Volatility as Time Dilation: When volatility is high relative to its historical norm, the "information density" of each bar increases. The indicator weights these periods more heavily, similar to how time dilates near massive objects in physics.
This is a pedagogical metaphor to create a coherent mental model - the underlying mathematics are standard financial calculations combined in a novel way.
MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
The indicator calculates a composite singularity value through four distinct steps:
Step 1: Raw Singularity Calculation
S_raw = (ΔP × V) × γ²
Where:
ΔP = Price Velocity = close - close
V = Volume Mass = log(volume + 1)
γ² = Time Dilation Factor = (ATR_local / ATR_global)²
Volume Transformation: Volume is log-transformed because raw volume can have extreme outliers (10x-100x normal). The logarithm compresses these spikes while preserving their significance. This is standard practice in volume analysis.
Volatility Weighting: The ratio of short-term ATR (5 periods) to long-term ATR (user-defined lookback) is squared to create a volatility amplification factor. When local volatility exceeds global volatility, this ratio increases, amplifying the raw singularity value. This makes the indicator regime-aware.
Step 2: Normalization
The raw singularity values are normalized to a 0-100 scale using a stochastic-style calculation:
S_normalized = ((S_raw - S_min) / (S_max - S_min)) × 100
Where S_min and S_max are the lowest and highest raw singularity values over the lookback period.
Step 3: Epsilon Compression
S_compressed = 50 + ((S_normalized - 50) / ε)
This is the critical innovation that makes the sensitivity control functional. By applying compression AFTER normalization, the epsilon parameter actually affects the final output:
ε < 1.0: Expands range (more signals)
ε = 1.0: No change (default)
ε > 1.0: Compresses toward 50 (fewer, higher-quality signals)
For example, with ε = 2.0, a normalized value of 90 becomes 70, making threshold breaches rarer and more significant.
Step 4: Smoothing
S_final = EMA(S_compressed, smoothing_period)
An exponential moving average removes high-frequency noise while preserving trend.
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
When the tensor crosses above the upper threshold (default 90) or below the lower threshold (default 10), an extreme event is detected. However, the indicator does NOT immediately generate a buy or sell signal. Instead, it analyzes market context through a multi-factor scoring system:
Scoring Components:
Price Structure (+1 point): Current bar bullish/bearish
Momentum (+1 point): Price higher/lower than N bars ago
Trend Context (+2 points): Fast EMA above/below slow EMA (weighted heavier)
Acceleration (+1 point): Rate of change increasing/decreasing
Volume Multiplier (×1.5): If volume > average, multiply score
The highest score (bullish vs bearish) determines signal direction. This prevents the common indicator failure mode of "overbought can stay overbought" by requiring directional confirmation.
Signal Conditions:
A BUY signal requires:
Extreme event detection (tensor crosses threshold)
Bullish score > Bearish score
Price confirmation: Bullish candle (optional, user-controlled)
Volume confirmation: Volume > average (optional, user-controlled)
Momentum confirmation: Positive momentum (optional, user-controlled)
A SELL signal requires the inverse conditions.
INPUTS EXPLAINED - Core Parameters:
Global Horizon (Context): Default 20. Lookback period for normalization and volatility comparison. Higher values = smoother but less responsive. Lower values = more signals but potentially more noise.
Tensor Smoothing: Default 3. EMA period applied to final output. Removes "quantum foam" (high-frequency noise). Range 1-20.
Singularity Threshold: Default 90. Values above this (or below 100-threshold) trigger extreme event detection. Higher = rarer, stronger signals.
Signal Sensitivity (Epsilon): Default 1.0. Post-normalization compression factor. This is the key innovation - it actually works because it's applied AFTER normalization. Range 0.1-5.0.
Signal Interpreter Toggles:
Require Price Confirmation: Default ON. Only generates buy signals on bullish candles, sell signals on bearish candles. Reduces false signals but may delay entry.
Require Volume Confirmation: Default ON. Only signals when volume > average. Critical for stocks/crypto, less important for forex (unreliable volume data).
Use Momentum Filter: Default ON. Requires momentum agreement with signal direction. Prevents counter-trend signals.
Momentum Lookback: Default 5. Number of bars for momentum calculation. Shorter = more responsive, longer = trend-following bias.
Visual Controls:
Colors: Customizable colors for bullish flux, bearish flux, background, and event horizon.
Visual Transparency: Default 85. Master control for all visual elements (accretion disk, field lines, particles, etc.). Range 50-99. Signals and dashboard have separate controls.
Visibility Toggles: Individual on/off switches for:
Gravitational field lines (trend EMAs)
Field reversals (trend crossovers)
Accretion disk (background gradient)
Singularity diamonds (neutral extreme events)
Energy particles (volume bursts)
Event horizon flash (extreme event background)
Signal background flash
Signal Size: Tiny/Small/Normal triangle size
Signal Offsets: Separate controls for buy and sell signal vertical positioning (percentage of price)
Dashboard Settings:
Show Dashboard: Toggle on/off
Position: 9 placement options (all corners, centers, middles)
Text Size: Tiny/Small/Normal/Large
Background Transparency: 0-50, separate from visual transparency
VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED
1. Accretion Disk (Background Gradient):
A three-layer gradient background that intensifies as the tensor approaches extremes. The outer disk appears at any non-neutral reading, the inner disk activates above 70 or below 30, and the core layer appears above 85 or below 15. Color indicates direction (cyan = bullish, red = bearish). This provides instant visual feedback on market pressure intensity.
2. Gravitational Field Lines (EMAs):
Two trend-following EMAs (10 and 30 period) visualized as colored lines. These represent the "curvature" of market trend - when they diverge, trend is strong; when they converge, trend is weakening. Crossovers mark potential trend reversals.
3. Field Reversals (Circles):
Small circles appear when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA, indicating a potential trend change. These are distinct from extreme events and appear at normal market structure shifts.
4. Singularity Diamonds:
Small diamond shapes appear when the tensor reaches extreme levels (>90 or <10) but doesn't meet the full signal criteria. These are "watch" events - extreme pressure exists but directional confirmation is lacking.
5. Energy Particles (Dots):
Tiny dots appear when volume exceeds 2× average, indicating significant participation. Color matches bar direction. These highlight genuine high-conviction moves versus low-volume drifts.
6. Event Horizon Flash:
A golden background flash appears the instant any extreme threshold is breached, before directional analysis. This alerts you to pay attention.
7. Signal Background Flash:
When a full buy/sell signal is confirmed, the background flashes cyan (buy) or red (sell). This is your primary alert that all conditions are met.
8. Signal Triangles:
The actual buy (▲) and sell (▼) markers. These only appear when ALL selected confirmation criteria are satisfied. Position is offset from bars to avoid overlap with other indicators.
DASHBOARD METRICS EXPLAINED
The dashboard displays real-time calculated values:
Event Density: Current tensor value (0-100). Above 90 or below 10 = critical. Icon changes: 🔥 (extreme high), ❄️ (extreme low), ○ (neutral).
Time Dilation (γ): Current volatility ratio squared. Values >2.0 indicate extreme volatility environments. >1.5 = elevated, >1.0 = above average. Icon: ⚡ (extreme), ⚠ (elevated), ○ (normal).
Mass (Vol): Log-transformed volume value. Compared to volume ratio (current/average). Icon: ● (>2× avg), ◐ (>1× avg), ○ (below avg).
Velocity (ΔP): Raw price change. Direction arrow indicates momentum direction. Shows the actual price delta value.
Bullish Flux: Current bullish context score. Displayed as both a bar chart (visual) and numeric value. Brighter when bullish score dominates.
Bearish Flux: Current bearish context score. Same visualization as bullish flux. These scores compete - the winner determines signal direction.
Field: Trend direction based on EMA relationship. "Repulsive" (uptrend), "Attractive" (downtrend), "Neutral" (ranging). Icon: ⬆⬇↔
State: Current market condition:
🚀 EJECTION: Buy signal active
💥 COLLAPSE: Sell signal active
⚠ CRITICAL: Extreme event, no directional confirmation
● STABLE: Normal market conditions
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1. Wait for Extreme Events:
The indicator is designed to be selective. Don't trade every fluctuation - wait for tensor to reach >90 or <10. This alone is not a signal.
2. Check Context Scores:
Look at the Bullish Flux vs Bearish Flux in the dashboard. If scores are close (within 1-2 points), the market is indecisive - skip the trade.
3. Confirm with Signals:
Only act when a full triangle signal appears (▲ or ▼). This means ALL your selected confirmation criteria have been met.
4. Use with Price Structure:
Combine with support/resistance levels. A buy signal AT support is higher probability than a buy signal in the middle of nowhere.
5. Respect the Dashboard State:
When State shows "CRITICAL" (⚠), it means extreme pressure exists but direction is unclear. These are the most dangerous moments - wait for resolution.
6. Volume Matters:
Energy particles (dots) and the Mass metric tell you if institutions are participating. Signals without volume confirmation are lower probability.

Morning session (9:30-11:00 ET) shows highest event density
Earnings announcements create guaranteed extreme events
Best on 5m-1h for day trading, 1D for swing trading
Crypto (BTC, ETH, major alts):
Reduce threshold to 85 (crypto has constant high volatility)
Volume spikes are THE primary signal - keep volume confirmation ON
Works exceptionally well due to 24/7 trading and high volatility
Epsilon can be reduced to 0.7-0.8 for more signals
Best on 15m-4h timeframes
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.):
Gold responds to macro events (Fed announcements, geopolitical events)
Oil responds to supply shocks
Use daily timeframe minimum
Increase lookback to 50+
These are slow-moving markets - be patient
Indices (SPX, NDX, etc.):
Institutional volume matters - keep volume confirmation ON
Opening hour (9:30-10:30 ET) = highest singularity probability
Strong correlation with VIX - high VIX = more extreme events
Best on 15m-1h for day trading
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR UNIQUE
1. Post-Normalization Sensitivity Control:
Unlike most oscillators where sensitivity controls don't actually work (they're applied before normalization, which then rescales everything), FTS applies epsilon compression AFTER normalization. This means the sensitivity parameter genuinely affects signal frequency. This is a novel implementation not found in standard oscillators.
2. Multi-Factor Confluence Requirement:
The indicator doesn't just detect "overbought" or "oversold" - it detects extreme conditions AND THEN analyzes context through five separate factors (price structure, momentum, trend, acceleration, volume). Most indicators are single-factor; FTS requires confluence.
3. Volatility-Weighted Normalization:
By squaring the ATR ratio (local/global), the indicator adapts to changing market regimes. A 1% move in a low-volatility environment is treated differently than a 1% move in a high-volatility environment. Traditional indicators treat all moves equally regardless of context.
4. Volume Integration at the Core:
Volume isn't an afterthought or optional filter - it's baked into the fundamental equation as "mass." The log transformation handles outliers elegantly while preserving significance. Most price-based indicators completely ignore volume.
5. Adaptive Scoring System:
Rather than fixed buy/sell rules ("RSI >70 = sell"), FTS uses competitive scoring where bullish and bearish evidence compete. The winner determines direction. This solves the classic problem of "overbought markets can stay overbought during strong uptrends."
6. Comprehensive Visual Feedback:
The multi-layer visualization system (accretion disk, field lines, particles, flashes) provides instant intuitive feedback on market state without requiring dashboard reading. You can see pressure building before extreme thresholds are hit.
7. Separate Extreme Detection and Signal Generation:
"Singularity diamonds" show extreme events that don't meet full criteria, while "signal triangles" only appear when ALL conditions are met. This distinction helps traders understand when pressure exists versus when it's actionable.
COMPARISON TO EXISTING INDICATORS
vs. RSI/Stochastic:
These normalize price relative to recent range. FTS normalizes (price change × log volume × volatility ratio) - a composite metric, not just price position.
vs. Chaikin Money Flow:
CMF combines price and volume but lacks volatility context and doesn't use adaptive normalization or post-normalization compression.
vs. Bollinger Bands + Volume:
Bollinger Bands show volatility but don't integrate volume or create a unified oscillator. They're separate components, not synthesized.
vs. MACD:
MACD is pure momentum. FTS combines momentum with volume weighting and volatility context, plus provides a normalized 0-100 scale.
The specific combination of log-volume weighting, squared volatility amplification, post-normalization epsilon compression, and multi-factor directional scoring is unique to this indicator.
LIMITATIONS AND PROPER DISCLOSURE
Not a Holy Grail:
No indicator is perfect. This tool identifies high-probability setups but cannot predict the future. Losses will occur. Use proper risk management.
Requires Confirmation:
Best used in conjunction with price action analysis, support/resistance levels, and higher timeframe trend. Don't trade signals blindly.
Volume Data Dependency:
On forex (spot) and some low-volume instruments, volume data is unreliable or tick-volume only. Disable volume confirmation in these cases.
Lagging Components:
The EMA smoothing and trend filters are inherently lagging. In extremely fast moves, signals may appear after the initial thrust.
Extreme Event Rarity:
With conservative settings (high threshold, high epsilon), signals can be rare. This is by design - quality over quantity. If you need more frequent signals, reduce threshold to 85 and epsilon to 0.7.
Not Financial Advice:
This indicator is an analytical tool. All trading decisions and their consequences are solely your responsibility. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
BEST PRACTICES
Don't trade every singularity - wait for context confirmation
Higher timeframes = higher reliability
Combine with support/resistance for entry refinement
Volume confirmation is CRITICAL for stocks/crypto (toggle off only for forex)
During major news events, singularities are inevitable but direction may be uncertain - use wider stops
When bullish and bearish flux scores are close, skip the trade
Test settings on your specific instrument/timeframe before live trading
Use the dashboard actively - it contains critical diagnostic information

Astros MG DetectorIFKYK this indicator auto detects micro gaps where price has not yet been after an imbalance on said candles has been created.
FVG – (auto close + age) GR V1.0FVG – Fair Value Gaps (auto close + age counter)
Short Description
Automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the current timeframe, keeps them open until price fully fills the gap or a maximum bar age is reached, and shows how many candles have passed since each FVG was created.
Full Description
This indicator automatically finds and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using the classic 3-candle ICT logic on any timeframe.
It works on whatever timeframe you apply it to (M1, M5, H1, H4, etc.) and adapts to the current chart.
FVG detection logic
The script uses a 3-candle pattern:
Bullish FVG
Condition:
low > high
Gap zone:
Lower boundary: high
Upper boundary: low
Bearish FVG
Condition:
high < low
Gap zone:
Lower boundary: high
Upper boundary: low
Each detected FVG is drawn as a colored box (green for bullish, red for bearish in this version, but you can adjust colors in the inputs).
Auto-close rules
An FVG remains on the chart until one of the following happens:
Full fill / mitigation
A bullish FVG closes when any candle’s low goes down to or below the lower boundary of the gap.
A bearish FVG closes when any candle’s high goes up to or above the upper boundary of the gap.
Maximum bar age reached
Each FVG has a maximum lifetime measured in candles.
When the number of candles since its creation reaches the configured maximum (default: 200 bars), the FVG is automatically removed even if it has not been fully filled.
This keeps the chart cleaner and prevents very old gaps from cluttering the view.
Age counter (labels inside the boxes)
Inside every FVG box there is a small label that:
Shows how many bars have passed since the FVG was created.
Moves together with the right edge of the box and stays vertically centered in the gap.
This makes it easy to distinguish fresh gaps from older ones and prioritize which zones you want to pay attention to.
Inputs
FVG color – Main fill color for all FVG boxes.
Show bullish FVGs – Turn bullish gaps on/off.
Show bearish FVGs – Turn bearish gaps on/off.
Max bar age – Maximum number of candles an FVG is allowed to stay on the chart before it is removed.
Usage
Works on any symbol and any timeframe.
Can be combined with your own ICT / SMC concepts, order blocks, session ranges, market structure, etc.
You can also choose to only display bullish or only bearish FVGs depending on your directional bias.

Pi Cycle BTC Top + Pre-Alert BandsPi Cycle BTC Top + Pre-Alert Bands is an advanced implementation of the classic Pi Cycle Top model, designed for Bitcoin cycle analysis on higher timeframes (especially 1D BTCUSD/BTCUSD·INDEX).
The original Pi Cycle Top uses two moving averages:
• 111-day SMA (short MA)
• 350-day SMA ×2 (long MA)
A Pi Top is signaled when the 111 SMA crosses above the 350×2 SMA. Historically, this has occurred near major BTC cycle highs.
This script extends that idea with a 3-step early-warning sequence:
• Pi Green – early compression: short/long MA ratio crosses upward into the green band (convergence from below is required).
• Pi Yellow – mid-cycle warning: only fires if a valid Green has already occurred in the same cycle.
• Pi Cycle Top – final top: the classic Pi Cycle cross, limited to one top signal per cycle. After a top, no new Yellow or Top signals can appear until a new Green event starts the next cycle.
Background shading shows the active phase (Green / Yellow / late-cycle zone), so you can see at a glance where BTC is within its Pi-based macro structure.
All logic is non-repainting: request.security() uses lookahead_off and no future data is accessed.
Typical use
This indicator is intended as a macro-cycle timing and risk-awareness tool, not a stand-alone entry system. Many traders use it to:
• Watch for Pi Green as the start of a potential late-cycle advance.
• Treat Pi Yellow as a rising-risk environment and tighten risk management.
• Use the Pi Cycle Top as a historical high-risk zone where large profit-taking or hedging may be considered.
Always combine this with your own analysis (trend, volume, on-chain, macro) before making decisions.
How to set alerts
Add the indicator to your chart (1D BTCUSD or BTCUSD·INDEX recommended).
Click Alerts → Condition → Pi Cycle BTC Top + Pre-Alert Bands.
Choose one of:
• Pi Cycle – Green Pre-Alert (early convergence)
• Pi Cycle – Yellow Pre-Alert (after Green only)
• Pi Cycle – TOP (Single per Cycle, after Green)
Use “Once per bar close” for higher-timeframe reliability.

Liquidity Sweep & Reversal MapLiquidity Sweep & Reversal Map (LSRM) is a visual tool designed to help traders study how price interacts with key liquidity areas such as daily highs, daily lows, previous-day levels, and potential sweep zones. Its purpose is to map structure, highlight volatility around major reference points, and visualize how price behaves after taking liquidity.
This indicator does not attempt to predict market direction. It simply identifies conditions where price has interacted with a known reference level and marks that interaction for user analysis.
🔍 What This Indicator Shows
1. Key Liquidity Reference Levels
The script automatically draws and updates the following levels:
TH — Today’s High
TL — Today’s Low
PDH — Previous Day High
PDL — Previous Day Low
These levels are widely monitored by many traders and can be helpful when studying liquidity behavior and intraday volatility.
2. Liquidity Sweeps
A liquidity sweep occurs when:
Price briefly moves beyond a major high or low
And then closes back within the prior range
The indicator marks detected sweep interactions with:
BS (Bullish Sweep) when liquidity is taken below a low
SS (Bearish Sweep) when liquidity is taken above a high
A sweep only appears after the bar has closed, helping users analyze completed price structure.
3. Optional Sweep Zones
When enabled, the tool draws a shaded zone between:
The swept wick
The reference level
This can help highlight areas where liquidity was taken.
4. Volume & Candle Filters
The indicator includes optional filters such as:
Relative volume spikes
Strong candle body requirement
These filters are provided only to refine the visual highlight of sweeps; they do not constitute trading signals.
🎛 Customization
Users can configure:
Instrument presets
Sweep buffers
Volume sensitivity
Line visibility and thickness
Label display
Zone visibility
All settings are optional and intended for chart annotation only.
⚠️ Important Notes
This tool is not a trading system, signal generator, or strategy.
It does not provide buy/sell advice or predict future price movement.
All markings are visual aids for chart study and structural analysis only.
Users should rely on their own judgment and independent analysis when making trading decisions.
Vince/Williams Selling Climax SignalThis indicator identifies moments of ultimate market capitulation based on the "Selling Climax" research by Ralph Vince and Larry Williams. It monitors the ratio of New Lows to total traded issues to detect when selling pressure has reached an unsustainable, panic-driven extreme (defaulting to 20% of the entire market hitting new lows).
The script visualizes this process in two stages. First, it marks the actual days of panic with red diamonds, showing you where the "washout" is occurring. Second, and most importantly, it generates a green diamond buy signal on the very first day the panic subsides. This allows you to enter a position immediately after the supply of desperate sellers has been exhausted, often catching the absolute bottom of a sharp correction.
Trend Following Volatility Trail*Script was previously removed by Moderators at 1.8k boosts* - This was out of my control. This script was very popular and seemed to help a lot of traders. I am re uploading to help the community!
Trend Following Volatility Trail
The Trend Following Volatility Trail is a dynamic trend-following tool that adapts its stop, bias, and zones to real-time volatility and trend strength. Instead of using static ATR multiples like a normal Supertrend or Chandelier Stop, it continuously adjusts itself based on how stretched the market is and how persistent the trend has been. This indicator is based on volatility weighted EMAC
This makes the system far more reactive during momentum phases and more conservative during consolidation, helping avoid fake flips and late entries.
How It Works
The indicator builds an adaptive trail around a smoothed price basis:
– It starts with a short EMA as the “core trend line.”
– It measures volatility expansion versus normal volatility.
– It measures trend persistence by reading whether price has been rising or falling consistently.
– These two components combine to adjust the ATR multiplier dynamically.
As volatility expands or the trend becomes more persistent, the bands widen.
When volatility compresses or the trend weakens, the bands tighten.
These adaptive bands form the foundation of the trailing system.
Bull & Bear State Logic
The tool constantly tracks whether price is above or below the adaptive trail:
Price above the upper trail → Bullish regime
Price below the lower trail → Bearish regime
But instead of flipping immediately, it waits for confirmation bars to avoid noise.
This greatly reduces whipsaws and keeps the focus on sustained moves.
Once a new regime is confirmed:
– A coloured cloud appears (bull or bear)
– A label marks the flip point
– Alerts can be triggered automatically
Best Uses
Identifying regime shifts early
Riding sustained trends with confidence
Avoiding choppy markets by requiring confirmation
Using the adaptive cloud as a directional bias layer
Percentage Distance from 200-Week SMA200-Week SMA % Distance Oscillator (Clean & Simple)
This lightweight, no-nonsense indicator shows how far the current price is from the classic 200-week Simple Moving Average, expressed as a percentage.
Key features:
• True percentage distance: (Price − 200w SMA) / 200w SMA × 100
• Auto-scaling oscillator (no forced ±100% range → the line actually moves and looks alive)
• Clean zero line
• +10% overbought and −10% oversold levels with subtle background shading
• Real-time table showing the exact current percentage
• Small label on the last bar for instant reading
• Alert conditions when price moves >10% above or below the 200-week SMA
Why 200-week SMA?
Many legendary investors and hedge funds (Stan Druckenmiller, Paul Tudor Jones, etc.) use the 200-week SMA as their ultimate long-term trend anchor. Being +10% or more above it has historically signaled extreme optimism, while −10% or lower has marked deep pessimism and generational buying opportunities.
Perfect for Bitcoin, SPX, gold, individual stocks – works on any timeframe (looks especially good on daily and weekly charts).

Distribution Day Grading [Blk0ut]Distribution Day Grading
This script is designed to give traders and investors a fast, objective, and modern read on market health by analyzing distribution days, and stall days, two forms of institutional selling that often begin to appear before trend weakness, failed breakouts, and sharp corrections.
The goal of this script isn’t to predict tops or bottoms, but instead, it measures the character of the tape in a way that’s simple, visual, and immediately actionable.
While distribution analysis has existed for decades, my implementation is, I think, a little more adaptive. Traditional rules for identifying distribution days, coming from CANSLIM methodology, were built for markets which had lower volatility, different liquidity profiles, and slower institutional rotation. This script updates the traditional method with modernized thresholds, recency-weighted decay, stall-day logic, and dynamic presets tuned uniquely for the personality of each major U.S. index (you can change the values yourself as well).
The results are displayed as a compact letter-grade that quantitatively reflects a measure of how much institutional supply has been hitting the market, as well as how recently. This helps determine whether conditions are supportive of breakouts, mean reversion trades, aggressive trend trades, or whether caution and lighter sizing are warranted.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How It Works
The script evaluates each bar for two conditions:
1. Distribution Day
A bar qualifies as distribution when:
- Price closes down beyond a threshold (default 0.30%, adjustable)
- Volume is higher than the prior session (optional toggle)
Distribution days typically represent active institutional selling .
2. Stall Day
A softer form of supply:
-Price remains flat to slightly negative within a small threshold
-Close < open
-Volume higher than prior day
Stall days represent a passive distribution or hidden supply .
Each distribution day is counted as 1 unit by the script, each stall day as 0.5 units.
Recency Weighting
The script applies an optional half-life decay so that fresh distribution matters more than old distribution. This mimics the “aging out” effect that professional traders use, but does it in a smoother, more mathematically consistent way.
The script then produces:
A weighted distribution score
A raw distribution + stall count
A letter grade from A → F
Let's talk about the letters...
_________________________________________________________________________________
Letter Grade Meaning
A — Very Healthy Tape
Minimal institutional selling.
Breakouts behave better, momentum holds, pullbacks are shallow, upside targets are hit more consistently.
B — Healthy / Slight Caution
Some isolated supply but nothing structural.
Conditions remain favorable for trend trades, pullbacks, and breakout continuation.
C — Mixed / Caution Warranted
Distribution is building.
Breakouts begin to fail faster, candles widen, rotation becomes unstable, and risk/reward compresses.
D — Weak / Risk Elevated
Institutional selling is becoming persistent.
Failed breakouts, sharp reversals, and failed rallies become more common. Position sizing should tighten.
F — Clear Deterioration
Broad, repeated institutional distribution.
This is where major tops, deeper pullbacks, and corrections often begin to form underneath the surface.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Index-Tuned Presets (Auto Mode)
Market structure varies dramatically across indices.
To address this, the script includes auto-detect presets for:
SPY / SPX equivalents
QQQ / NASDAQ-100 equivalents
IWM / Russell 2000 equivalents
DIA / Dow 30 equivalents
Each preset contains optimized values based on volatility, liquidity, noise, and institutional behavior:
SPY / SPX
Low noise, deep liquidity → classic thresholds work well.
Distribution thresholds remain conservative.
QQQ
Higher volatility → requires a slightly larger down-percentage filter to avoid false signals.
IWM
Noisiest of the major indices → requires much stricter thresholds to filter out junk signals.
DIA
Slowest-moving index → tighter conditions catch real distribution earlier.
The script automatically detects which symbol family you’re viewing and loads the appropriate preset unless manual overrides are enabled.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How to Interpret This Indicator
Grade A–B:
Breakouts have higher odds of clean continuation
Mean reversion is smoother
Position sizing can be more assertive
Grade C:
Start tightening risk
Focus on A- setups, not B- or C- risk ideas
Grade D–F:
Expect lower win rates
Expect breakout failures
Favor countertrend plays or reduced exposure
Take faster profits
____________________________
This indicator should help traders prevent themselves from fighting the tape or sizing aggressively when the underlying environment is deteriorating through:
- Modernized distribution logic, not the 1990s thresholds
- Recency-weighted decay instead of the old 5-week “aging out”
- Stall-day detection for subtle institutional supply
- Auto-presets tuned per index, adjusting thresholds to match volatility and liquidity
- Unified letter-grade scoring for visual clarity
- Independent application for any trading style, it helps with trend, momentum, mean reversion, and options

Candle Volume CoreIA VolCore — Candle Volume Core
Indicator Overview
IA VolCore is an intra‑candle volume analysis tool that shows where the core traded volume is concentrated inside each candle.
It visualizes how buyers and sellers interacted within the bar and highlights key levels and zones where the highest activity takes place.
How Calculations Work
The indicator uses the lowest available timeframe data to calculate volume distribution inside each candle.
If you have a Premium or higher subscription, VolCore uses second‑based data for the most accurate results. Older candles (where second‑data is no longer available due to platform limits) are calculated using minute data. The indicator can therefore be used on any timeframe from 1 minute and higher.
If you do not have Premium, the indicator uses minute‑based data only, so it is recommended to use it from the daily timeframe and above.
Example of Calculation
If the chart timeframe is 1 hour and the lowest available timeframe is 1‑second data, the indicator loads 3600 1‑second candles. Each 1‑second candle has a known volume, which is evenly distributed across its own price range.
The 1‑hour candle is then divided into a number of price ranges based on the Candle Volume Resolution parameter. The volumes of all 3600 1-second candles are then aggregated into the corresponding price ranges of the hourly candle.
The final result is a detailed intra‑candle volume map for the entire hour — calculated using the most precise data available.
Custom Timeframe Parameter
If Use Custom Timeframe is enabled and a timeframe is selected, all calculations will be performed strictly using this specified timeframe.
For example: if the chart is on 1D, the user has 1‑second data available, but Custom TF is set to 1 minute, then the volume distribution inside each daily candle will be calculated using 1‑minute candles.
Key Features
Candle Volume Resolution — defines how many price ranges each candle is divided into (3–50,000). All calculations in the indicator are based on this resolution.
Max Volume Level — displays the price level inside the candle where the maximum volume occurred.
% of Volume (1, 2, 3) — defines percentages of the candle's total volume (e.g., 33%, 66%, 50%). For each percentage, VolCore finds the minimum price range containing that share of volume. You can view the corresponding volume values for these shares in histogram form via the Show: Vol % 1–3 parameters. The actual intra-candle zones are displayed using the Show area option.
Volume % for Density — sets the volume percentage used to calculate Vol Density, which reflects how concentrated the volume is inside the selected price range.
Display Parameters (Show)
Show: Vol % 1–3 — shows histograms of volume share zones based on the selected "% of Volume" parameters (with color logic applied).
Show: Max Volume Value — displays the maximum internal volume value for each candle as a histogram (with color logic applied).
Show: Volume — displays the candle's total volume (with color logic applied).
Show: Vol Density — shows the density of volume distribution inside the candle for the selected volume percentage (with color logic applied).
Example Use Cases (not a complete list)
IA VolCore shows where liquidity forms inside each candle, how volume is distributed, and how concentrated trading activity is.
Detecting False Breakouts
If a breakout candle shows increased volume, and after the breakout the core volume forms beyond the level, but the price moves back — VolCore provides a strong signal of a false breakout.
Examples:
Identifying Support & Resistance Zones
If Max Volume Level repeatedly forms in the same internal range over multiple candles, this indicates a hidden support or resistance level.
Example:
Who This Indicator Is For
For traders using volume‑based and contextual market analysis, and for IA (Initiative Analysis) ecosystem users who want a deeper understanding of intra‑candle structure.
Histogram Color Logic
IA VolCore uses three color shades to highlight volume behavior relative to previous candles:
light shade — normal volume, no significant change,
medium shade — volume exceeds both previous candles,
dark shade — volume exceeds the sum of the previous two candles.
This helps quickly spot growing activity and potential shifts in market pressure.
Style Settings
Line styles, histogram styles, and colors can be customized in the indicator’s Style tab.
