Guth_3X_ConfirmThis indicator has three built in indicators based on the SMA of HIGH, SMA of LOW, and Stochastic. The baseline indicator is the retreats after departures from SMA of HIGH and LOW.
The first time a HIGH that is above the SMA HIGH has a lower HIGH but it still above the SMA HIGH, a (-) will appear at the bottom. This signals an aggressive entry point for potential coming downtrend. The second time the HIGH produces a lower high but is still above the SMA HIGH, a (S) will appear at the bottom which signals a more conservative entry point for potential coming downtrend. All of the opposite information is true of reversals beyond the SMA LOW.
When these reversals appear the same time the Stochastic is overbought or oversold, a red bar (overbought and potentially coming down) or a green bar (oversold and potentially coming up) will appear. NOTE: Aggressive symbols occur more often and will always occur when a conservative symbol appears. When a conservative indicator and respective overbought/oversold level occur at the same time, the bar is darker in color.
You can enter positions at any one of the indicators, however, the darker bars are what I look for. This has a high success rate but cannot guarantee results every time. I recommend adjusting the SMA, and Stoch parameters as well as time periods. I have had success with this indicator while day trading the 5, 10, 15, 30, 65 minute periods as well as daily and weekly periods. Every symbol traded can provide differing results based on the parameters used.
Please feel free to leave feedback and I know this can work well for you!

AlphaAlpha is a measure of the active return on an investment, the performance of that investment compared to the S&P500 index, where 0.01 = 1%
alpha < 0: the investment has earned too little for its risk (or, was too risky for the return)
alpha = 0: the investment has earned a return adequate for the risk taken
alpha > 0: the investment has a return in excess of the reward for the assumed risk
Mister Transistor 3.0This is a general purpose very flexible program to test the effectiveness of HA bars.
Please note that if you are charting at tradingview using Heikin-Ashi charting, your system will be trading fictitious prices even if you check the "use real prices" box. Thought you might like to know that before you lose all your money.
This program performs the HA calcs internally thus allowing you to use HA bars on a standard bar chart and obtaining real prices for your trades.

Trailing Sharpe RatioThe Sharpe ratio allows you to see whether or not an investment has historically provided a return appropriate to its risk level. A Sharpe ratio above one is acceptable, above 2 is good, and above 3 is excellent. A Sharpe ratio less than one would indicate that an investment has not returned a high enough return to justify the risk of holding it. Interesting in this example, SPY's one year avg Sharpe ratio is above 3. This would mean on average SPY returns 3x better returns than the risk associated with holding it, implying there is some sort of underlying value to the investment.
When the sharpe ratio is above its signal, this implies the investment is currently outperforming compared to its typical return, below the signal means the investment is currently under performing. A negative Shape would mean that the investment has not provided a positive return, and may be a possible short candidate.
Zweig Market Breadth Thrust Indicator [LazyBear]The Breadth Thrust (BT) indicator is a market momentum indicator developed by Dr. Martin Zweig. According to Dr. Zweig a Breadth Thrust occurs when, during a 10-day period, the Breadth Thrust indicator rises from below 40 percent to above 61.5 percent.
A "Thrust" indicates that the stock market has rapidly changed from an oversold condition to one of strength, but has not yet become overbought. This is very rare and has happened only a few times. Dr. Zweig also points out that most bull markets begin with a Breadth Thrust.
All parameters are configurable. You can draw BT for NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX or based on combined data (i.e., AMEX+NYSE+NASD). There is also a "CUSTOM" mode supported, so you can enter your own ADV/DEC symbols.

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.
VCP Trendline breakoutThe Signal:
Green Triangles indicate the price is approaching the trendline (Watchlist candidate).
Yellow Triangles indicate the price is very tight against the line (Execution imminent).
The Trigger: When price closes above the Grey Dotted Line, the line stops extending. This is your breakout signal.
Indicator Overview
The The VCP Trendline breakout indicator is a sophisticated technical indicator designed for trend followers and breakout traders (O'Neil, Minervini, Wyckoff styles). This script employs a State Machine logic to identify structural Volatility Contraction Patterns (VCP) in real-time.
It automatically detects valid Bases, tracks the "Right Side" construction, identifies nested handles (contractions), and draws precise supply trendlines—while strictly enforcing structural integrity rules (Higher Lows).
Core Logic & Features
1. Smart Base Detection
Trend Filter: The pattern recognition engine only activates when the price is above the 200 SMA, ensuring you are trading with the primary trend.
Base Validation: It identifies a "Base High" (H1) based on a configurable lookback period. It tracks the depth of the base and automatically invalidates the pattern if the drawdown exceeds the user-defined threshold (default 30%).
2. Recursive Nested Trendlines (VCP)
The indicator is capable of drawing Nested Trendlines (recursive resistance). It doesn't just draw a line from the peak; it identifies internal contractions within the base.
H1 (Primary): The main supply line from the top of the base.
H2, H3 (Internal): Trendlines connecting subsequent lower highs (handles) as volatility contracts.
Smart Fan: Includes a "Clean Fan" mode to show only the most relevant, latest trendline per anchor point.
3. Structural Integrity Enforcement (The "Higher Low" Rule)
This is the standout feature of this script. It performs an Anchor Integrity Check on every bar.
In a valid VCP, every contraction must form a Higher Low.
If the price creates a new pivot (H3) but then crashes lower than the previous contraction's floor (H2), the script identifies this as a Structural Failure.
Auto-Deletion: It immediately retroactively deletes the invalid trendlines associated with that failed contraction, keeping your chart clean and free of "ghost" signals.
4. "Right-Side" Logic
Collision Detection: Trendlines are calculated using "Right-Side Clearance." A line is only drawn if the path from the anchor to the new pivot is unobstructed by price action.
Signal Protection: "Watch" and "Near" signals are suppressed during the decline phase (Left Side). They only appear once the "Bottom" (L1) has been confirmed and price is recovering on the Right Side.
5. Proximity Alerts & Breakouts
Watch Zone (Green Triangle): Appears when the Low of the bar is within 8% (configurable) of a valid trendline.
Near Zone (Yellow Triangle): Appears when the Low of the bar is within 4% (configurable) of a valid trendline.
Breakout Stop: Trendlines are dynamic. The moment a bar closes above a trendline, the line stops extending immediately, marking the exact breakout point.
How to Use This Indicator
The Setup: Look for a stock in an uptrend (Price > 200 SMA).
The Construction: Wait for the script to identify the Base High (H1). As the price corrects and begins to recover, you will see Grey Dotted Lines appear, connecting the highs.
The Contraction: Watch for Nested Trendlines. If you see a second or third line form from a lower high (H2, H3), it indicates a tightening of price action (VCP).
Settings Configuration
Moving Averages
21 EMA, 50 SMA, 200 SMA: Built-in reference averages.
Base Settings
H1 Lookback: How many bars back the script looks to find the "Start" of the base (Default: 21). Increase this for longer-term bases.
Sub-High Pivot Bars: Controls the sensitivity of identifying internal highs (handles).
Max Base Depth: If the base drops more than this % (Default: 30%), the structure is considered failed and lines are removed.
Enable Nested Trendlines: Toggle ON to see internal VCP lines (H2, H3). Toggle OFF to see only the main H1 trendline.
Show Only Latest Line: Keeps the chart clean by removing older lines from the same anchor point.
Visuals & Signals
Near/Watch Zone %: Adjust the sensitivity of the Green/Yellow triangles.
Signal Size: Change the size of the triangle markers.
DISCLAIMER
This is an indicator, not a trading system. Apply good risk management and do your own due diligence before putting your hard earned money into anything.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Automated pattern recognition has limitations and should always be verified visually.
MACD Above Signal & Price Above VWAP IndicatorThis strategy provides a buy signal with a green arrow pointing up when three conditions are met. The MACD has to be above the signal line. The settings for MACD can be adjusted, but the default is the standard settings for MACD. The second condition is the price has to be above the VWAP line. The third condition is that the price of the current candle needs to be higher than the HIGH price of the previous candle.
(QUANTLABS) Fractal God Mode: 25-Timeframe Scanner The indicator aggregates data into three distinct metric columns:
1. STRUCT (Market Structure) This analyzes price action relative to Fractal Pivots (Highs and Lows) to determine market direction.
HH (Breakout): Price has closed above the previous Pivot High. (Bullish Structure)
LL (Breakdown): Price has closed below the previous Pivot Low. (Bearish Structure)
TRAPPED: Price is trading between the last Pivot High and Low. This indicates a ranging market where trend trades should be avoided.
2. VELOCITY (Thrust) This measures the specific strength of the current candle on that timeframe.
The Math: It calculates the ratio of the body (Close - Open) relative to the total candle range (High - Low).
The Signal: High positive numbers (Green) indicate buyers are closing near highs. High negative numbers (Red) indicate sellers are dominating the range.
3. QUALITY (Efficiency Ratio) This acts as a "Noise Filter." It determines if the trend is moving in a straight line or whipping back and forth.
The Math: It divides the Net Price Movement (Distance from 5 bars ago) by the Total Path Traveled (Sum of the ranges of the last 5 bars).
PRISTINE (Values > 0.6): The market is moving efficiently in one direction.
CHOPPY (Values < 0.4): The market is volatile and non-directional (High Noise).
1. The Matrix (Dashboard) Located in the bottom right, this table gives you an instant read on Short-Term (3m-9m), Medium-Term (10m-45m), and Long-Term (1H-Daily) trends.
2. Coherence Flow At the bottom of the table, the script sums up the structural score of all 25 timeframes.
COHERENT BULL: When the Short, Medium, and Long terms align green.
COHERENT BEAR: When the Short, Medium, and Long terms align red.
3. God Mode (Global S/R) The indicator can plot Support and Resistance levels from higher timeframes onto your current chart. For example, while trading the 5m chart, you can see the 4H and Daily pivot levels plotted automatically as dotted lines, ensuring you never trade blindly into a higher-timeframe wall.
Trend Following: Wait for the "Coherent Bull/Bear" signal at the bottom of the dashboard. This confirms that momentum is aligned from the 3m chart up to the Daily.
Scalping: Focus on the Quality column. Only take trades when the Quality is "CLEAN" or "PRISTINE." Avoid entries when the dashboard warns of "High Noise" (Choppy).
Risk Management: If the dashboard shows "TRAPPED" on the Long Term (1H+), reduce position size or wait for a breakout.
Pivot Lookback: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Fractal Structure (Default: 5).
Show Fractal DNA Matrix: Toggles the dashboard table.
Show ALL Timeframe S/R: Enables "God Mode" to see supports/resistances from all 25 timeframes (Heavy visual processing, use carefully).
Probability Cone█ Overview:
Probability Cone is based on the Expected Move . While Expected Move only shows the historical value band on every bar, probability panel extend the period in the future and plot a cone or curve shape of the probable range. It plots the range from bar 1 all the way to bar 31.
In this model, we assume asset price follows a log-normal distribution and the log return follows a normal distribution.
Note: Normal distribution is just an assumption; it's not the real distribution of return.
The area of probability range is based on an inverse normal cumulative distribution function. The inverse cumulative distribution gives the range of price for given input probability. People can adjust the range by adjusting the standard deviation in the settings. The probability of the entered standard deviation will be shown at the edges of the probability cone.
The shown 68% and 95% probabilities correspond to the full range between the two blue lines of the cone (68%) and the two purple lines of the cone (95%). The probabilities suggest the % of outcomes or data that are expected to lie within this range. It does not suggest the probability of reaching those price levels.
Note: All these probabilities are based on the normal distribution assumption for returns. It's the estimated probability, not the actual probability.
█ Volatility Models :
Sample SD : traditional sample standard deviation, most commonly used, use (n-1) period to adjust the bias
Parkinson : Uses High/ Low to estimate volatility, assumes continuous no gap, zero mean no drift, 5 times more efficient than Close to Close
Garman Klass : Uses OHLC volatility, zero drift, no jumps, about 7 times more efficient
Yangzhang Garman Klass Extension : Added jump calculation in Garman Klass, has the same value as Garman Klass on markets with no gaps.
about 8 x efficient
Rogers : Uses OHLC, Assume non-zero mean volatility, handles drift, does not handle jump 8 x efficient.
EWMA : Exponentially Weighted Volatility. Weight recently volatility more, more reactive volatility better in taking account of volatility autocorrelation and cluster.
YangZhang : Uses OHLC, combines Rogers and Garmand Klass, handles both drift and jump, 14 times efficient, alpha is the constant to weight rogers volatility to minimize variance.
Median absolute deviation : It's a more direct way of measuring volatility. It measures volatility without using Standard deviation. The MAD used here is adjusted to be an unbiased estimator.
You can learn more about each of the volatility models in out Historical Volatility Estimators indicator.
█ How to use
Volatility Period is the sample size for variance estimation. A longer period makes the estimation range more stable less reactive to recent price. Distribution is more significant on larger sample size. A short period makes the range more responsive to recent price. Might be better for high volatility clusters.
People usually assume the mean of returns to be zero. To be more accurate, we can consider the drift in price from calculating the geometric mean of returns. Drift happens in the long run, so short lookback periods are not recommended.
The shape of the cone will be skewed and have a directional bias when the length of mean is short. It might be more adaptive to the current price or trend, but more accurate estimation should use a longer period for the mean.
Using a short look back for mean will make the cone having a directional bias.
When we are estimating the future range for time > 1, we typically assume constant volatility and the returns to be independent and identically distributed. We scale the volatility in term of time to get future range. However, when there's autocorrelation in returns( when returns are not independent), the assumption fails to take account of this effect. Volatility scaled with autocorrelation is required when returns are not iid. We use an AR(1) model to scale the first-order autocorrelation to adjust the effect. Returns typically don't have significant autocorrelation. Adjustment for autocorrelation is not usually needed. A long length is recommended in Autocorrelation calculation.
Note: The significance of autocorrelation can be checked on an ACF indicator.
ACF
Time back settings shift the estimation period back by the input number. It's the origin of when the probability cone start to estimation it's range.
E.g., When time back = 5, the probability cone start its prediction interval estimation from 5 bars ago. So for time back = 5 , it estimates the probability range from 5 bars ago to X number of bars in the future, specified by the Forecast Period (max 1000).
█ Warnings:
People should not blindly trust the probability. They should be aware of the risk evolves by using the normal distribution assumption. The real return has skewness and high kurtosis. While skewness is not very significant, the high kurtosis should be noticed. The Real returns have much fatter tails than the normal distribution, which also makes the peak higher. This property makes the tail ranges such as range more than 2SD highly underestimate the actual range and the body such as 1 SD slightly overestimate the actual range. For ranges more than 2SD, people shouldn't trust them. They should beware of extreme events in the tails.
The uncertainty in future bars makes the range wider. The overestimate effect of the body is partly neutralized when it's extended to future bars. We encourage people who use this indicator to further investigate the Historical Volatility Estimators , Fast Autocorrelation Estimator , Expected Move and especially the Linear Moments Indicator .
The probability is only for the closing price, not wicks. It only estimates the probability of the price closing at this level, not in between.
Displacement Pulse Markers - sudoThis indicator is designed to highlight sudden and meaningful bursts of price movement. These bursts are called displacement pulses. A pulse appears when price expands with force, closes near the extreme of its own bar, and breaks through a recent structural level. The indicator places small circles above or below the candle to signal these moments so that traders can quickly spot abnormal movement and potential shifts in market intent.
How it works
The indicator evaluates each bar for three conditions:
Range expansion relative to volatility
The bar must be larger than normal. It compares the bar range to ATR and requires that range to exceed a multiple of ATR. When this condition is met, the bar is considered a large or forceful bar.
Close location within the bar
The bar has to close near its own high or low. A close near the top suggests strong buying force. A close near the bottom suggests strong selling force. The user can adjust what percentage qualifies as near the top or bottom.
Break of recent structure
The bar must break a recent pivot level. For bullish pulses, the high of the bar must exceed the highest high of the past N bars. For bearish pulses, the low must break the lowest low of the past N bars. This confirms that the move did not merely expand but actually displaced prior structure.
When all conditions align
A bullish displacement pulse is marked with a small aqua circle below the bar.
A bearish displacement pulse is marked with a fuchsia circle above the bar.
The result is a clean on chart visualization of where price produced meaningful displacement.
How traders can use this
Spot abnormal momentum
Pulses can highlight areas where price behaves with more force than usual. These events often appear around news, liquidity sweeps, or algorithmic shifts.
Identify possible regime changes
A pulse that breaks structure while closing near the extreme may signal a transition from a ranging environment to a trending one. It does not predict direction but flags where displacement actually occurred.
Support narrative building
When combined with levels, zones, or other frameworks, pulses can confirm whether the market had enough strength to break through an area with conviction.
Filter trades or refine entries
Some traders may choose to trade in the direction of recent pulses during trending conditions. Others may only enter a trade after a pulse confirms that the market has shifted away from compression.
Track where the market is imbalanced
A pulse visually marks whether buyers or sellers were able to generate strong initiative movement. These points often become useful reference zones for continuation or rejection analysis.
Why this indicator is useful
It reduces complex logic into simple visual markers. Instead of scanning bar by bar for structural breaks, volatility expansions, and close strength, the indicator does this automatically and highlights only the bars that meet all criteria. This keeps the chart clean while still providing precision about where displacement actually occurred.
RVol based Support & Resistance ZonesDescription:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify significant price levels based on institutional volume. It monitors two higher timeframes (defined by the user) simultaneously. When a candle on these higher timeframes exhibits unusually high volume—known as high Relative Volume (RVol)—the indicator automatically draws a "Zone of Interest" box on your current chart.
These zones are defined by:
Up candle : from candle open to low of candle
Down candle : from candle open to high of candle
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Monitoring: You can trade on a lower timeframe (e.g., 5-minute) while the indicator monitors the 30-minute and 1-hour charts for volume spikes.
RVol Boxes: Automatically draws boxes extending from high-volume candles.
Up Candles: Box covers Low to Open.
Down Candles: Box covers High to Open.
Live Dashboard: A neat, color-coded table displays the current Volume, Average Volume, and RVol percentage for your watched timeframes.
Real-Time vs. Confirmed: Choose whether to see boxes appear immediately as volume spikes (Live) or only after the candle has closed and confirmed the volume (Candle Close).
Settings Guide:
1. General Settings
Relative Volume Length: The number of past candles used to calculate the "Average Volume." (Default is 20).
Max Days Back to Draw: To keep your chart clean, this limits how far back in history the script looks for high-volume zones. (e.g., set to 5 to only see zones created in the last 5 days).
Draw Mode:
- Live (Real-time): Draws the box immediately if the current developing candle hits the volume threshold. (Note: The box may disappear if the volume average shifts before the candle closes).
- Candle Close: The box only appears once the candle has finished and permanently confirmed the volume spike.
2. Table Settings
Show Info Table: Toggles the dashboard on or off.
Text Size & Position: Customise where the table appears on your screen and how large the text is.
Colours: Fully customisable colours for the Table Header (Top row) and Data Rows (Bottom rows).
3. Timeframe 1 & 2 Settings
You have two identical sections to configure two different timeframes (e.g., 30m and 1H).
Timeframe: The chart interval to monitor (e.g., "30" for 30 minutes, "60" for 1 Hour, "240" for 4 Hours).
Threshold %: The "Trigger" for drawing a box based on relative candle volume in that timeframe.
Example:
100% = Candle Volume is equal to the average volume for the specified timeframe.
200% = Candle Volume is 2x the average volume for the specified timeframe.
300% = Candle Volume is 3x the average volume for the specified timeframe.
Box & Edge Colour: Distinct colours for each timeframe so you can easily tell which timeframe created the zone.
Squeeze Momentum OscillatorTitle: Squeeze Momentum Oscillator
Description: This indicator is a panel-based oscillator that separates market momentum from volatility, designed to spot high-probability breakouts using the classic TTM Squeeze logic.
How It Works: The indicator uses a "traffic light" system on the zero line to indicate volatility states, while the histogram shows the strength and direction of the trend.
1. The Dots (Volatility State): These dots tell you if the market is consolidating or trending.
🔴 Red Dot: Squeeze is ON. Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels. Volatility is compressed. Do not trade; wait for the release.
🟢 Green Dot: Squeeze is OFF. Volatility is normal.
🟣 Fuchsia Dot: Bullish Breakout! The squeeze has fired to the upside and is confirmed by positive SMA momentum.
🔵 Blue Dot: Bearish Breakout! The squeeze has fired to the downside and is confirmed by negative SMA momentum.
2. The Histogram (Momentum): This measures the strength of the move using Linear Regression.
Light Green: Bullish momentum is increasing.
Dark Green: Bullish momentum is waning (caution).
Light Red: Bearish momentum is increasing.
Dark Red: Bearish momentum is waning (caution).
Settings & Features:
Momentum Filter: Breakout dots (Fuchsia/Blue) only appear if the 20-period SMA slope agrees with the breakout direction, filtering out weak fakeouts.
Customizable: Adjust lengths and multipliers for Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to tune sensitivity.
Toggle: You can turn the specific "Breakout Colors" on or off in the settings.

Vdubus Divergence Wave Pattern Generator V1The Vdubus Divergence Wave Theory
10 years in the making & now finally thanks to AI I have attempted to put my Trading strategy & logic into a visual representation of how I analyse and project market using Core price action & MacD. Enjoy :)
A Proprietary Structural & Momentum Confluence SystemPart 1: The Strategic Concept1. The Core Philosophy: "Geometry + Physics"Traditional technical analysis often fails because traders confuse location with timing.Geometry (Price Patterns): Tells us WHERE the market is likely to reverse (e.g., at a resistance level or harmonic D-point).Physics (Momentum): Tells us WHEN the energy driving the trend has actually shifted. The Vdubus Theory posits that a trade should never be taken based on Geometry alone. A valid signal requires a specific, fractal decay in momentum—a "Handshake" between price structure and energy exhaustion.2. The 3-Wave Momentum Filter (The Engine)Most traders look for simple divergence (2 points). The Vdubus Theory demands a 3-Wave Structure to confirm the true state of the market.A. The Standard Reversal (Exhaustion)This is the "Safe" entry, catching the slow death of a trend.Wave 1 $\rightarrow$ 2 (The Warning): Price pushes higher, but momentum is lower (Standard Divergence). This signals that the trend is tapping the brakes.Wave 2 $\rightarrow$ 3 (The Confirmation): Price pushes to a final extreme (often a stop-hunt), but momentum is flat or lower than Wave 2 ("No Divergence").The Logic: This confirms that the buyers have expended all remaining energy. The engine is dead.
B. The Climax Reversal (The Trap)This is the "Aggressive" entry, catching V-shape reversals.Wave 1 $\rightarrow$ 2 (The Bait): Price pushes higher, and momentum is Stronger/Higher (No Divergence). This sucks in retail traders who believe the trend is accelerating.Wave 2 $\rightarrow$ 3 (The Snap): Price pushes again, but momentum suddenly collapses (Divergence).The Logic: A "Strong to Weak" shift. The market traps traders with a show of strength before hitting a "concrete wall" of limit orders.C. The Predator (The Trend Continuation)The Logic: Trends rarely move in straight lines. The "Predator" looks for Hidden Divergence during a pullback.The Signal: Price makes a Higher Low (Trend Structure Intact), but Momentum makes a Lower Low (Oversold Trap). This signals the end of the correction and the resumption of the main trend.3. The "Clean Path" PrincipleA trade is only valid if there is no opposing force. If you are looking to Sell (Bearish Reversal), the opposing Bullish momentum must be weak or neutral. If the "Enemy" is strong, the trade is skipped.
Part 2: The Indicator Breakdown
Tool Name: Vdubus Divergence Wave Pattern Generator V1
This script automates your analysis by combining ZigZag Pattern Recognition (Geometry) with your Custom MACD Logic (Physics).
1. The "Golden" Settings
The physics engine is tuned to your specific discovery:
Fast Length: 8
Slow Length: 21
Signal Length: 5
Lookback: 3 (Sensitive enough to catch the exact pivot points).
2. Signal Generation Logic
The indicator scans for four distinct setups. Here is the exact logic code translated into English:
Signal 1: Standard Reversal (Green/Red Pattern)
Geometry: The ZigZag algorithm identifies a 5-point structure (X-A-B-C-D), such as a Gartley, Bat, or Butterfly.
Physics Check:
Finds the last 3 momentum peaks matching the price highs.
Rule: Momentum Peak 2 must be < Peak 1 (Divergence).
Rule: Momentum Peak 3 must be <= Peak 2 (Confirmation/No Div).
Output: Draws the colored pattern and labels it (e.g., "Bearish Gartley (Exhaustion)").
Signal 2: Climax Reversal (Orange Pattern)
Geometry: Identifies the same 5-point structures.
Physics Check:
Rule: Momentum Peak 2 is >= Peak 1 (Strength/No Div).
Rule: Momentum Peak 3 is < Peak 2 (Sudden Failure/Div).
Output: Draws the pattern in Orange labeled "⚠️ CLIMAX REVERSAL". This is your "Trap" detector.
Signal 3: Rounded Top/Bottom (Navy/Maroon Label)
Geometry: Price is compressing or rounding over.
Physics Check:
Scans for 4 consecutive waves of momentum decay.
Rule: Peak 1 > Peak 2 > Peak 3 > Peak 4.
Output: Places a label indicating a "Multi-Wave Decay," identifying turns that don't have sharp pivots.
Signal 4: The Predator (Purple Pattern)
Geometry: Identifies a trend pullback (Higher Low for Buys).
Physics Check:
Rule: Momentum makes a Lower Low while Price makes a Higher Low (Hidden Divergence).
Output: Draws a Purple pattern labeled "🦖 PREDATOR" to signal trend continuation.
3. The Confluence Dashboard
Located in the corner of the screen, this provides a final "Safety Check."
Logic: It compares the absolute value (strength) of the most recent Bearish Momentum Peak vs. the most recent Bullish Momentum Low.
Output:
Green (Bulls Strong): Buying pressure is dominant. Safe to Buy, Dangerous to Sell.
Red (Bears Strong): Selling pressure is dominant. Safe to Sell, Dangerous to Buy.
Grey (Neutral): Forces are balanced.
Summary of Potential
This system solves the "Trader's Dilemma" of entering too early or too late. By waiting for the 3rd Wave, you effectively filter out the market noise and only commit capital when the opposing side has structurally and physically collapsed. It transforms trading from a guessing game into a disciplined execution of identifying Geometric Exhaustion.
Logic 1 / PREVIOUS DIVERGENCE PROJECTS future TREND BREAKS / Reversals *Not in script*
Logic 2 / Wave 1 to 2 = Divergence / Wave 2 to 3 = NO divergence = Signal
Reverse logic: Wave 1 to 2 = NO Divergence / Wave 2 to 3 = Divergence = Signal
Volume essential parameters overlayVolume EPO – Essential Volume Parameters Overlay
1. Motivation and design philosophy
Volume EPO is designed as a conceptual overlay rather than a self contained trading system. The main idea behind this script is to take complex, foundational market concepts out of heavy, menu driven strategies and express them as lightweight, independent layers that sit on top of any chart or indicator.
In many TradingView scripts, a single strategy tries to handle everything at once: signal logic, risk settings, visual cues, multi timeframe controls, and conceptual explanations. This usually leads to long input menus, performance issues, and difficult maintenance. The architectural approach behind Volume EPO is the opposite: keep the core strategy lean, and move the explanation and measurement of key concepts into dedicated overlays.
In this framework, Volume EPO is the base layer for the concept of volume. It does not decide anything about entries or exits. Instead, it exposes and clarifies how different definitions of volume behave candle by candle. Other layers or strategies can then build on top of this understanding.
2. What Volume EPO does
Volume EPO focuses on four essential volume parameters for each bar:
- Buy volume - Sell volume - Total volume - Delta volume (the difference between buy and sell volume)
The script presents these parameters in a compact heads up display (HUD) table that can be positioned anywhere on the chart. It is designed to be visually minimal, language aware, and usable on top of any other indicator or price action without cluttering the view.
The indicator does not output signals, alerts, arrows, or strategy entries. It is a descriptive and educational tool that shows how volume is distributed, not a prescriptive tool that tells the trader what to do.
3. Two definitions of volume
A central theme of this script is that there is more than one way to define and interpret “volume” inside a single candle. Volume EPO implements and clearly separates two different approaches:
- A geometric, candle based approximation that uses only OHLC and volume of the current bar. - An intrabar, data driven definition that uses lower timeframe up and down volume when it is available.
The user can switch between these modes via the calculation method input. The mode is prominently shown inside the on chart table so that the context is always explicit.
3.1 Geometry mode (Source File, approximate)
In Geometry mode, Volume EPO works only with the current bar’s OHLC values and total volume. No lower timeframe data is required.
The candle’s range is defined as high minus low. If the range is positive, the position of the close inside that range is used as a simple model for how volume might have been distributed between buyers and sellers:
- The closer the close is to the high, the more of the total volume is attributed to the buying side. - The closer the close is to the low, the more of the total volume is attributed to the selling side. - In a rare case where the bar has no price range (for example a flat or doji bar), total volume is split evenly between buy and sell volume.
From this model, the script derives:
- Buy volume (approximated) - Sell volume (approximated) - Total volume (as reported by the bar) - Delta volume as the difference between buy and sell volume
This approach is intentionally labeled as “Geometry (Approx)” in the HUD. It is a theoretical reconstruction based solely on the candle’s geometry and total volume, and it is always available on any market or timeframe that provides OHLCV data.
3.2 Intrabar mode (Precise)
In Intrabar mode, Volume EPO uses the TradingView built in library for up and down volume on a user selected lower timeframe. Instead of inferring volume from the shape of the candle, it reads the underlying lower timeframe data when that data is accessible.
The script requests up and down volume from a lower timeframe such as 15 seconds, using the official TA library functions. The results are then interpreted as follows:
- Buy volume is taken as the absolute value of the up volume. - Sell volume is taken as the absolute value of the down volume. - Total volume is the sum of buy and sell volume. - Delta volume is provided directly by the library as the difference between up and down volume.
If valid lower timeframe data exists for a bar, the bar is counted as covered by Intrabar data. If not, that bar is marked as invalid for this precise calculation and is excluded from the covered count.
This mode is labeled “Precise” in the HUD, together with the selected lower timeframe, because it is anchored in actual intrabar data rather than in a geometric model. It provides a closer view of how buying and selling pressure unfolded inside the bar, at the cost of requiring more data and being dependent on the availability of that data.
4. Coverage, lookback, and what the numbers mean
The top part of the HUD reports not only which volume definition is active, but also an additional line that describes the effective coverage of the data.
In Intrabar (Precise) mode, the script displays:
- “Scanned: N Bars”
Here, N counts how many bars since the indicator was loaded have successfully received valid lower timeframe delta data. It is a measure of how much of the visible history has been truly covered by intrabar information, not a lookback window in the sense of a rolling calculation.
In Geometry mode, the script displays:
- “Lookback: L Bars”
In this extracted layer, the lookback value L is purely descriptive. It does not change how the current bar’s volume is computed, and it is not used in any iterative or statistical calculation inside this script. It is meant as a conceptual label, for example to keep the volume layer consistent with a broader framework where lookback length is a structural parameter.
Summarizing these two fields:
- Scanned tells you how many bars have been processed using real intrabar data. - Lookback is a descriptive parameter in Geometry mode in this specific overlay, not a direct driver of the computations.
5. The HUD layout on the chart
The on chart table is intentionally compact and structured to be read quickly:
- Header: a title identifying the overlay as Volume EPO. - Mode line: explicitly states whether the script is in Precise or Geometry mode, and for Precise mode also shows the lower timeframe used. - Coverage line: - In Precise mode, it shows “Scanned: N Bars”. - In Geometry mode, it shows “Lookback: L Bars”. - Volume block: - A line for buy and sell volume, marked with clear directional symbols. - A line for total volume and the absolute delta, accompanied by the sign of the delta. - Numeric formatting uses human friendly suffixes (for example K, M, B) to keep the display readable. - Footer: the current symbol and a time stamp, adjusted by a user selectable timezone offset so that the HUD can be aligned with the trader’s local time reference.
The table can be positioned anywhere on the chart and resized via inputs, and it supports multiple color themes and languages in order to integrate cleanly into different chart layouts.
6. How to use Volume EPO in practice
Volume EPO is meant to be read together with price action and other tools, not in isolation. Typical uses include:
- Studying how often a strong directional candle is actually supported by dominant buy or sell volume. - Comparing the behavior of delta volume between Geometry and Intrabar definitions. - Building a personal intuition for how intrabar data refines or contradicts the simple candle based approximation. - Feeding these insights into separate, lean strategy scripts that do not need to carry the full explanatory logic of volume inside them.
Because it is an overlay layer, Volume EPO can be stacked with other custom indicators without adding new signals or complexity to their logic. It simply adds a clear and consistent view of volume behavior on top of whatever the trader is already watching.
7. Educational and non signalling nature
Finally, it is important to stress that Volume EPO is not a trading system, not a signal generator, and not financial advice. The script does not tell the user when to enter or exit. It only reports how different definitions of volume describe the current bar.
Deciding whether to trade, how to trade, and which risk parameters to use remains entirely with the user and with their own strategy. Volume EPO provides context and clarity around the concept of volume so that those decisions can be informed by a better understanding of how buying and selling pressure is structured inside each candle.
Note: Even on lower timeframes, every reconstruction of volume remains an approximation, except at the true single tick level. However, the closer the chosen lower timeframe is to a one tick stream, the more accurately it can reflect the underlying order flow and balance between buying and selling pressure.
Dark Vector ScalpingThe Dark Vector Scalping indicator is a high-frequency trend-following system designed specifically to capture rapid momentum shifts in the market. It combines a staircase-style breakout logic with volatility-adjusted trailing stops to define market direction.
While the underlying math is robust enough for various asset classes, this specific configuration is optimized for scalping operations on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. It aims to filter out the "noise" common in lower timeframes while reacting quickly to genuine breakouts.
Core Components
1. The Apex Engine (Staircase Logic) Unlike traditional moving averages that curve with price, this engine uses a "hard" breakout logic. It looks back at a specific number of bars (Sensitivity) to find the highest highs and lowest lows.
Bullish Flip: Occurs when the price closes below the calculated low of the previous trend.
Bearish Flip: Occurs when the price closes above the calculated high of the previous trend.
Trailing Stop: Once a trend is established, a trailing stop line is drawn. This line only moves in the direction of the trend (up for bullish, down for bearish) and never retraces, acting as a ratchet to lock in paper profits.
2. Volatility Normalization To prevent getting stopped out by random market noise (scam wicks), the indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR). It multiplies this volatility metric by a user-defined deviation factor to determine exactly how far the stop line should be from the current price action.
3. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) Filter The script includes an optional 50-period Hull Moving Average. The HMA is known for being extremely fast and smooth, reducing lag compared to standard moving averages.
Visual Reference: You can plot the line to see the overall macro trend.
Hard Filter: You can enable a "Safety Filter" in the settings. If enabled, the system will only generate Buy signals if the price is above the HMA, and Sell signals if the price is below the HMA.
4. The Dashboard A data panel is located on the chart (customizable position) to provide instant numerical data without needing to calculate levels manually. It displays the current trend state, the exact price of the trailing stop, and the status of the HMA filter.
Settings & Configuration
Sensitivity (Lookback)
Default: 5
This is the primary setting for the Apex Engine. A setting of 5 is the "sweet spot" for 1-minute and 5-minute charts. It allows the system to react very quickly to sudden volume spikes. Increasing this number (e.g., to 10) will make the signals slower and more conservative.
Stop Deviation
Default: 3.0
This controls the "breathing room" for the trade. A value of 3.0 allows for standard volatility on minute charts without triggering a premature exit. Lowering this to 2.0 will result in tighter stops but more false signals.
HMA Filter
Use HMA as Filter? (Default: OFF):
When OFF, the system signals purely on price action breakouts (fastest).
When ON, the system waits for the price to align with the 50-period HMA before signaling (safest, but may delay entry).
How to Interpret Visuals
Candle Colors
Teal/Green: The market is in a Bullish regime.
Red/Pink: The market is in a Bearish regime.
The Line
The solid stepped line represents the hard invalidation point. If price closes beyond this line, the trend is considered over.
Diamond Signals
Light Green Diamond (Below Bar): Confirmed Buy Signal. A new bullish trend has started.
Light Red/Pink Diamond (Above Bar): Confirmed Sell Signal. A new bearish trend has started.
Trading Strategy Guide
The Scalp Entry
Ensure you are on a 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe.
Wait for a signal Diamond to close. Do not enter while the bar is still forming, as the signal may repaint (disappear) if the price retraces before the close.
Long Entry: Enter when a Green Diamond appears and the candle turns Teal.
Short Entry: Enter when a Red Diamond appears and the candle turns Red.
Risk Management
Stop Loss: Your invalidation level is the "Apex Stop" line. You can place your hard stop loss slightly beyond this line.
Take Profit: Because this is a trend-following system, it is often best to hold until the candle color changes, or to take profit at fixed Risk:Reward ratios (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).
The HMA Nuance If you find the market is "choppy" (moving sideways), enable the "Use HMA as Filter" option in the settings. This will force the system to ignore signals that are counter-trend to the longer-term momentum.

## 📋 WHY YM? LEVERAGING LOW VOLATILITY
### The YM Advantage
Most traders avoid YM because "it doesn't move enough." This is precisely why it's perfect for precision scalping:
| Factor | NQ | YM | Advantage |
|--------|----|----|-----------|
| **Daily Range** | 300-600 pts | 150-400 pts | More predictable moves |
| **Tick Value** | $5/tick (4 ticks/pt) | $5/tick (1 tick/pt) | Simpler math |
| **Retail Noise** | High | Low | Cleaner signals |
| **Whipsaws** | Frequent | Rare | Fewer fakeouts |
| **Trend Persistence** | Short | Long | Easier holds |
| **Fill Quality** | Variable | Consistent | Better execution |

## 🔧 YM-SPECIFIC OPTIMIZATIONS
This unified indicator has been specifically tuned for YM's characteristics:
### Tier Thresholds
| Tier | NQ (Original) | YM (Optimized) | Rationale |
|------|---------------|----------------|-----------|
| S-Tier | 100 pts | **50 pts** | YM's daily range is ~50% of NQ |
| A-Tier | 50 pts | **25 pts** | Proportional scaling |
| B-Tier | 20 pts | **12 pts** | Still 5%+ of typical daily range |
### Filter Adjustments
| Filter | NQ Value | YM Value | Why |
|--------|----------|----------|-----|
| Volume Ratio | 1.5x | **1.8x** | Higher bar = less retail noise |
| Delta Threshold | 60% | **62%** | Tighter for cleaner signals |
| Body Ratio | 70% | **72%** | More conviction required |
| Range Multiplier | 1.3x | **1.4x** | Bigger move = real signal |
| Gap ATR% | 30% | **25%** | Smaller gaps still significant |
| Zone Age | 50 bars | **75 bars** | Zones last longer in slow market |
### Why These Changes Work
1. **Higher Volume Bar**: YM has more institutional flow. Requiring 1.8x volume ensures we're catching real moves, not retail chop.
2. **Tighter Delta**: With less noise, we can demand clearer buyer/seller dominance before entering.
3. **Longer Zone Life**: YM trends persist longer. A zone that would be stale in NQ is still viable in YM.
4. **Smaller Gap Threshold**: YM gaps are naturally smaller. 25% of ATR in YM is significant institutional activity.

## 📐 SIGNAL TYPES EXPLAINED
### 1. GRA Tier Signals (S🎯, A🎯, B🎯)
These are the primary signals from the merged GRA system:
```
TIER SIGNAL REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Point movement meets tier threshold
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.8x average
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% (buy or sell dominance)
├── ✓ Body ≥ 72% of candle range
├── ✓ Range ≥ 1.4x average
├── ✓ Small opposite wick (<50% of body)
├── ✓ CVD confirms direction (if enabled)
├── ✓ Active session (LDN/NY/PWR)
└── ✓ Confluence Score ≥ minimum (default 5)
```
### 2. Zone Entry Signals (Z🎯)
When price enters a DeepFlow zone with confirmation:
```
ZONE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Price inside fresh/tested zone (not broken)
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% in zone direction
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.5x average
└── ✓ Active session
NOTE: Z🎯 only appears when NOT already showing tier signal
(prevents duplicate signals on same candle)
```
### 3. Single Print Markers (SP)
Mark institutional impulse candles for future S/R:
```
SINGLE PRINT REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Range ≥ 1.6x average
├── ✓ Body ≥ 72% of range
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.8x average
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% confirms direction
└── ✓ Active session
USE: Horizontal lines at high/low act as future S/R
```
---
## 🎯 TRADING STRATEGIES
### Strategy 1: Zone + Tier Confluence (Highest Probability)
```
THE ULTIMATE YM SETUP:
═══════════════════════
Setup:
1. Active DeepFlow zone exists (green box below for long)
2. Price pulls back INTO the zone
3. Tier signal fires INSIDE the zone (S🎯/A🎯)
4. Score shows 7+/10
Entry: Signal candle close
Stop: Below zone bottom (for longs)
Target: Based on tier (1.5-2.5:1 R:R)
Why It Works:
• Zone = institutional limit orders
• Tier signal = momentum confirmation
• Double confirmation = high probability
Expected Win Rate: 70-75%
```
### Strategy 2: Pure Tier Signal with POC Stop
```
SNIPER TIER TRADE:
══════════════════
Setup:
1. Tier signal appears (preferably A or S)
2. Score ≥ 5/10
3. Note POC level on signal candle
4. Red/green stop/target lines appear
Entry: Signal candle close
Stop: Beyond POC (shown on chart)
Target: Auto-calculated based on tier
Key: POC placement matters
• POC near candle bottom (longs) = STRONG
• POC in middle = weaker signal
• POC at extreme = possible exhaustion
Expected Win Rate: 60-65%
```
### Strategy 3: Zone Bounce (Continuation)
```
ZONE BOUNCE TRADE:
══════════════════
Setup:
1. Fresh zone created during session
2. Price leaves zone, moves in zone direction
3. Price returns to test zone (within 15 bars)
4. Z🎯 signal appears or rejection candle forms
Entry: At CE line (middle of zone)
Stop: Beyond zone edge
Target: Previous swing high/low
Why It Works:
• Zones represent unfilled orders
• First retest often finds support/resistance
• Lower volatility = cleaner bounces
Expected Win Rate: 55-60%
```
### Strategy 4: Single Print Scalp
```
SINGLE PRINT SCALP:
═══════════════════
Setup:
1. Single Print (SP) marker appears
2. Note the gold/purple lines at high/low
3. Wait for price to return to SP level
4. Look for rejection or tier signal at level
Entry: At SP line with confirmation
Stop: Beyond the SP line
Target: Quick 1:1 or to next structure
Why It Works:
• SP = price moved too fast, orders unfilled
• Price often returns to "fill" these levels
• YM's slower pace makes retests likely
Expected Win Rate: 55-60%
```

Volume Pressure OscillatorThe Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO) is a momentum-based indicator that measures the directional pressure of cumulative volume delta (CVD) combined with price efficiency. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 50 indicating net buying pressure and readings below 50 indicating net selling pressure.
The indicator is designed to identify the strength and sustainability of volume-driven trends while remaining responsive during consolidation periods.
How the Indicator Works
The VPO analyzes volume flow by examining price action at lower timeframes to build a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). For each chart bar, the indicator looks at intrabar price movements to classify volume as either buying volume or selling volume. These classifications are accumulated into a running total that tracks net directional volume.
The indicator then measures the momentum of this CVD over both short-term and longer-term periods, providing responsiveness to recent changes while maintaining awareness of the broader trend. These momentum readings are normalized using percentile ranking, which creates a stable 0-100 scale that works consistently across different instruments and market conditions.
A key feature is the extreme zone persistence mechanism. When the indicator enters extreme zones (above 80 or below 20), it maintains elevated readings as long as volume pressure continues in the same direction. This allows the VPO to stay in extreme zones during strong trends rather than quickly reverting to neutral, making it useful for identifying sustained volume pressure rather than just temporary spikes.
What Makes This Indicator Different
While many indicators measure volume or volume delta, the VPO specifically measures how aggressively CVD is currently changing and whether that pressure is being sustained. It's the difference between knowing "more volume has accumulated on the buy side" versus "buying pressure is intensifying right now and shows signs of continuation."
1. Focus on CVD Momentum, Not CVD Levels
Most CVD indicators display the cumulative volume delta as a line that trends up or down indefinitely. The VPO is fundamentally different - it measures the slope of CVD rather than the absolute level. This transforms CVD from an unbounded cumulative metric into a bounded 0-100 oscillator that shows the intensity and direction of current volume pressure, not just the historical accumulation.
2. Designed to Stay in Extremes During Trends
Unlike traditional oscillators that treat extreme readings (above 80 or below 20) as overbought/oversold reversal signals, the VPO is engineered to oscillate within extreme zones during strong trends. When sustained buying or selling pressure exists, the indicator remains elevated (e.g., 80-95 or 5-20) rather than quickly reverting to neutral. This makes it useful for trend continuation identification rather than exclusively for reversal trading.
3. Percentile-Based Normalization
The VPO uses percentile ranking over a lookback window, which provides consistent behavior across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility regimes without constant recalibration.
4. Dual-Timeframe Momentum Synthesis
The indicator simultaneously considers short-term CVD momentum (responsive to recent changes) and longer-term CVD momentum (tracking trend direction), weighted and combined with a slow-moving trend bias. This multi-timeframe approach helps it stay responsive in ranging markets while maintaining context during trends.
How to Use the Indicator
Understanding the Zones:
80-100 (Strong Buying Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly positive. In trending markets, the indicator oscillates within this zone rather than immediately reverting to neutral. This suggests sustained accumulation and trend continuation probability.
60-80 (Moderate Buying): Positive volume pressure but not extreme. Suitable for identifying pullback entry opportunities within uptrends.
40-60 (Neutral Zone): Volume pressure is balanced or unclear. No strong directional edge from volume. Often seen during consolidation or trend transitions.
20-40 (Moderate Selling): Negative volume pressure developing. May indicate distribution or downtrend continuation setups.
0-20 (Strong Selling Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly negative. During downtrends, sustained readings in this zone suggest continued distribution and downside follow-through probability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: When price makes new highs/lows, check if VPO confirms with similarly elevated readings. Divergences (price making new highs while VPO fails to reach prior highs) may indicate weakening momentum.
Range Trading: During consolidation, the VPO typically oscillates between 30-70. Readings toward the low end of the range (30-40) may present accumulation opportunities, while readings at the high end (60-70) may indicate distribution zones.
Extreme Persistence: If VPO reaches 90+ or drops below 10, this indicates exceptional volume pressure. Rather than fading these extremes immediately, monitor whether the indicator stays elevated. Sustained extreme readings suggest strong trend continuation potential.
Context with Price Action: The VPO is most effective when combined with price action or other orderflow indicators. Use the indicator to gauge whether volume is confirming or contradicting.
What the Indicator Does NOT Do:
It does not provide specific entry or exit signals
It does not predict future price direction
It does not guarantee profitable trades
It should not be used as a standalone trading system
Settings Explanation
Momentum Period (Default: 14)
This parameter controls the lookback period for CVD rate-of-change calculations.
Lower values (5-10): Make the indicator more responsive to recent volume changes. Useful for shorter-term trading and more active oscillation. May produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
Default value (14): Provides balanced responsiveness while filtering out most noise. Suitable for swing trading and daily timeframe analysis.
Higher values (20-50): Create smoother readings and focus on longer-term volume trends. Better for position trading and reducing false signals, but with slower reaction to genuine changes in volume pressure.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires intrabar data to function properly. On some instruments or timeframes where lower timeframe data is not available, the indicator may not display.
The indicator uses request.security_lower_tf() which has a limit of intrabars. On higher timeframes, this provides extensive history, but on very low timeframes (<1-minute charts), the indicator may only cover limited historical bars.
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument. The indicator's effectiveness depends on accurate volume reporting from the data feed.
Volume Momentum Strategy [MA/VWAP Cross]Deconstructing the Volume Momentum Strategy: An Analysis of MA-VWAP Cross Mechanics
Introduction
The "Volume Momentum Strategy " is a technical trading algorithm programmed in Pine Script v6 for the TradingView platform. At its core, the strategy is a trend-following system that utilizes the interaction between a specific Moving Average (MA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to generate trade signals. While the primary execution logic relies on price crossovers, the strategy incorporates a sophisticated secondary layer of analysis using the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Stochastic Oscillator. Uniquely, these secondary indicators are applied to volume data rather than price, serving as a gauge for market participation and momentum intensity.
The Core Engine: MA and VWAP Crossover
The primary engine driving the strategy's buy and sell decisions is the crossover relationship between a user-defined Moving Average and the VWAP.
1. The Anchor (VWAP): The strategy calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price based on the HLC3 (High, Low, Close divided by 3) source. VWAP serves as the dynamic benchmark for "fair value" throughout the trading session.
2. The Trigger (Moving Average): The script allows for flexibility in defining the "fast" line, offering options such as Simple (SMA), Exponential (EMA), or Hull Moving Averages.
3. The Signal:
o A Long (Buy) signal is generated when the chosen MA crosses over the VWAP. This suggests that short-term price momentum is exceeding the average volume-weighted price of the session, indicating bullish sentiment.
o A Short (Sell) signal is generated when the MA crosses under the VWAP, indicating bearish pressure where price is being pushed below the session's volume-weighted average.
The Role of CCI and Stochastic: Analyzing Volume Momentum
The prompt specifically inquires about how the CCI and Stochastic indicators fit into this process. In standard technical analysis, these oscillators are used to identify overbought or oversold price conditions. However, this strategy repurposes them to analyze Volume Momentum.
1. The Calculation
Instead of using close prices as the input source, the script passes volume data into both indicator functions:
• Volume CCI: Calculated as ta.cci(volume, cciLength). This measures the deviation of current volume from its statistical average.
• Volume Stochastic: Calculated as ta.stoch(volume, volume, volume, stochLength). This gauges the current volume relative to its recent range.
2. The "Volume Spike" Condition
The strategy combines these two indicators to define a specific market condition labeled isVolumeSpike. A volume spike is confirmed only when both conditions are met simultaneously:
• The Volume CCI must be greater than a defined threshold (default: 100).
• The Volume Stochastic must be greater than a defined threshold (default: 80).
3. Integration into the Process
It is critical to note how this script currently applies this "Volume Spike" logic:
• Visual Confirmation: In the current version of the code, the isVolumeSpike boolean is used strictly for visual feedback. When a spike is detected, the script paints the specific price bar yellow and plots a small triangle marker below the bar.
• Strategic Implication: While the code calculates these metrics, the variables long_condition and short_condition currently rely solely on the MA/VWAP crossover. The developer has left the volume logic as a visual overlay, noting in the comments that it serves as a "visual/alert" or a potential filter.
• Potential Alpha: Conceptually, this setup implies that a trader should look for the MA/VWAP crossover to occur coincidentally with—or shortly after—a "Volume Spike" (yellow bar). This would confirm that the price move is backed by significant institutional participation (volume) rather than just retail noise.
Risk Management and Time Constraints
The strategy wraps these technical signals in a robust risk management framework. It includes hard-coded time windows (start/stop trading times) and a "Close All" function to prevent holding positions overnight. Furthermore, it employs both percentage-based and dollar-based Stop Loss and Take Profit mechanisms, ensuring that every entry—whether generated by a high-momentum crossover or a standard trend move—has a predefined exit plan.
Conclusion
The "Volume Momentum Strategy" is a hybrid system. It executes trades based on the reliable trend signal of MA crossing VWAP but informs the trader with advanced volume analytics. By processing volume through the CCI and Stochastic calculations, it provides a "heads-up" display regarding the intensity of market participation, allowing the trader to distinguish between low-volume drifts and high-volume breakout moves.
Market Regime Flip (Dunk)This indicator is a trend regime flip tool built on top of MACD. Instead of reacting to every little wiggle, it waits for several bars in a row where the MACD stays either above or below zero (by default, 3 consecutive bars). When the MACD has been above zero for 3 bars, it declares a bull regime and marks that bar on the price chart with a green “BULL” triangle above the candle. When the MACD has been below zero for 3 bars, it declares a bear regime and marks that bar with a red “BEAR” triangle below the candle. It also lightly colors the chart background green in bull regimes and red in bear regimes, so you can see at a glance which side of the market you’re in.
In other words, it turns the MACD’s usual “above/below zero” behavior into a clean, slower-changing on/off regime switch. Instead of giving you constant signals, it focuses on the moments where momentum truly shifts and sticks around for a few bars, helping you avoid getting faked out by single-bar noise. The alerts are wired to those flip moments, so you can get notified when the market transitions from bearish to bullish (or vice versa) according to this MACD-based regime logic.
