Order BlocksThis is experimental Indicator is to help identifying Order Blocks.
It uses not confirmed higher order pivots as Higher Highs (HH) and Lower Lows (LL), finds high/lows that created most recent LL/HH and in case if this high/low are broken it notes candle that broke structure, market structure broke line (MSB) and demand box (candle that created liquidity for the move that broke structure).

Higher Order PivotsFirst order pivot points are defined as 3 or 5 bar "V" shaped patterns. For example a high with a lower high either side of the peak and in the case of the 5 bar variant with lower highs adjacent to a high below the peak.
Second order pivot points are defined by three first order pivots in the same manner. For example a peak pivot high with a lower pivot high to either side.
Third order pivots follow the same pattern, a peak second order pivot high with two adjacent second order pivot highs.
As it can take a significant and variable amount of time before higher order pivots are confirmed, it is generally inadvisable to use higher order pivots for live trading!
However they can be used for historical analysis. For example to delineate market structure of major market inflections.
For example :
Delineating market structure using 2nd order pivots derived from 3 bar, 1st order pivots
Major market inflections from 3rd order pivots derived from 5 bar, 1st order pivots
+ BB %B: MA selection, bar coloring, multi-timeframe, and alerts+ %B is, at its simplest, the classic Bollinger Bands %B indicator with a few added bells and whistles.
However, the right combination of bells and whistles will often improve and make a more adaptable indicator.
Classically, Bollinger Bands %B is an indicator that measures volatility, and the momentum and strength of a trend, and/or price movements.
It shows "overbought" and "oversold" spots on a chart, and is also useful for identifying divergences between price and trend (similar to RSI).
With + %B I've added the options to select one or two moving averages, candle coloring, and a host of others.
Let's start with the moving averages:
There are options for two: one faster and one slower. Or combine them how you will, or omit one or both of them entirely.
Here you will find options for SMA, EMA (as well as double and triple), Hull MA, Jurik MA, Least Squares MA, Triangular MA, Volatility Adjusted MA, and Weighted MA.
A moving average essentially helps to define trend by smoothing the noise of movements of the underlying asset, or, in this case, the output of the indicator.
All of these MAs available track this in a different way, and it's up to the trader to figure out which makes most sense to him/her.
MA's, in my opinion, improve the basic %B by providing a clearer picture of what the indicator is actually "seeing", and may be useful for providing entries and exits.
Next up is candle coloring:
I've added the option for this indicator to color candles on the chart based on where the %B is in relation to its upper and lower bounds, and median line.
If the %B is above the median but below the upper bound, candles will be green (showing bullish market structure). If %B is below the median but above the lower bound, candles will be red (denoting bearish market structure).
Overbought and oversold candles will also be colored on the chart, so that a quick glance will tell you whether price action is bullish/bearish or "oversold"/"overbought".
I've also added functionality that enables candles to be colored based on if the %B has crossed up or crossed down the primary moving average.
One example as a way to potentially use these features is if the candles are showing oversold coloration followed by the %B crossing up your moving average coloration. You might consider a long there (or exit a short position if you are short).
And the last couple of tweaks:
You may set the timeframe to whatever you wish, so maybe you're trading on the hourly, but you want to know where the %B is on the 4h chart. You can do that.
The background fill for the indicator is split into bullish and bearish halves. Obviously you may turn the background off, or make it all one color as well.
I've also added alerts, so you may set alerts for "overbought" and "oversold" conditions.
You may also set alerts for %B crossing over or under the primary moving average, or for crossing the median line.
All of these things may be turned on and off. You can pretty much customize this to your heart's delight. I see no reason why anyone would use the standard %B after playing with this.
I am no coder. I had this idea in my head, though, and I made it happen through referencing another indicator I was familiar with, and watching tutorials on YouTube.

MA, MATR, ChEx | All in One - 4CR CUPIn trade position setup, we always need to determine the market structure and manage the position sizing in a short period of decision time. Indicators such as moving average, initial stop loss and trailing stop loss are always helpful.
This indicator put all these handy tools into a single toolkit, which includes the following price action and risk management indicators:
MA - Moving Average
MATR - Moving Average less Average True Range
ChEx - Chandelier Exit
This script further enhances the setting so that you can easily customize the indicators.
For both the Moving Averages and the Moving Average less Average True Range , you can pick a type of moving average which suits your analysis style from a list of commonly used moving average formulations: namely, EMA , HMA , RMA, SMA and WMA , where EMA is selected as default.
The Moving Average less Average True Range , MATR, is usually applied as a reference to set the initial stop loss whenever opening a new position.
The abbreviation, MATR, is picked, so that this can serve as a handy reminder of a very good trading framework as elaborates as below:
M – Market Structure
A – Area of Value
T – Trigger
R – Risk Management (aka. Exit Strategy)
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo and moreI am publishing my updated Ichimoku ++ study with a more suitable title. Future updates will take place with this version.
Description:
The intention of this script is to build/provide a kind of work station / work bench for analysing markets and especially Bitcoin . Another goal is to get maximum market information while maintaining a good chart overview. A chart overloaded with indicators is useless because the structure of the chart is more difficult to see. The chart should be clear and market structure should be easy to see. The script allows you to add indicators and signals in different visualizations to better assess the quality of signals and the sentiment of the market.
A general advise:
Use the included indicators and signals in a confluent way to get stoploss, buy and sell entry points. SR clusters can be identified for use in conjunction with Fractals and other indicators as entry and exit pints. My other scripts can also help. Prefer 4 hours, daily and a longer time frame. There is no "Holy Grail" :).
Validated Order Blocks with Fib LevelsThis indicator automatically identifies and displays Smart Money Concepts (SMC) order blocks based on market structure breaks:
How it works:
Bearish Order Blocks (Red): Marks the last bullish candle before a swing high. The OB becomes valid when price breaks below the previous swing low, indicating institutional selling zones. Drawn from the candle's close (body top) to its low (bottom wick).
Bullish Order Blocks (Green): Marks the last bearish candle before a swing low. The OB becomes valid when price breaks above the previous swing high, indicating institutional buying zones. Drawn from the candle's high (top wick) to its close (body bottom).
Features:
Three Fibonacci retracement levels (50%, 75%, 100%) for each order block
Fib 100% faces downward on bearish OBs and upward on bullish OBs
Auto-validation: OBs are removed when price closes through them
Customizable: Adjustable swing detection, timeframe selection, and OB display limits
Optional Break of Structure (BOS) markers to show when OBs activate
Works on any timeframe with HTF analysis support
Perfect for identifying key institutional support/resistance zones and potential reversal areas.
BB + Keltner Squeeze (con SL)BB + Keltner Squeeze with Dynamic SL
This indicator combines Bollinger Bands (2σ and optional 3σ) with Keltner Channels to detect phases of volatility compression (squeeze) and their release (expansion).
Squeeze ON (orange dot): Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channel → low volatility / market compression.
Release (green triangle): Bollinger Bands break outside the Keltner Channel → volatility expansion.
Orange background: visually highlights squeeze phases.
Dynamic Stop Loss options:
KC Mode: stop at the opposite Keltner band (wider, good for trend following).
ATRlike Mode: stop based on a multiple of the range (tighter, good for scalping or short swings).
Intended use:
Identify moments when the market is “building energy” and trade breakouts after a release.
Adjust stop losses dynamically according to volatility.
Note: This is not a standalone trading system. It works best when combined with trend confirmation tools (EMA, MACD, market structure, etc.).
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile is a reimagined take on volume profile analysis. Instead of plotting a static horizontal histogram on the side of your chart, this indicator projects dynamic volume trace lines directly onto the price action. Each bin is color-graded according to its relative strength, creating a living “volume skeleton” of the market. The orange trace highlights the current Point of Control (POC)—the price level with maximum historical traded volume within the lookback window. On the right side, the tool builds a mini profile, showing absolute volume per bin alongside its percentage share, where the POC always represents 100% strength .
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic On-Chart Bins:
The range between highest high and lowest low is split into 25 bins. Each bin is drawn as a horizontal trace line across the lookback chart period.
Gradient Color Encoding:
Trace lines fade from transparent to teal depending on relative volume size. The more intense the teal, the stronger the historical traded activity at that level.
Automatic POC Highlight:
The bin with the highest aggregated volume is flagged with an orange line . This POC adapts bar-by-bar as volume distribution shifts.
Right-Side Volume Profile:
At the chart’s right edge, the script prints a box-style profile. Each bin shows:
• Total volume (absolute units).
• Percentage of max volume, in parentheses (POC bin = 100%).
This gives both raw and normalized context at a glance.
Adjustable Lookback Window:
The lookback defines how many bars feed the profile. Increase for stable HTF zones or decrease for responsive intraday distributions.
POC Toggle & Styling:
Optionally toggle POC highlighting on/off, adjust colors, and set line thickness for better integration with your chart theme.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Step Sizing:
over last 100 bars is divided by to calculate bin height.
Volume Aggregation:
For each bar in the , the script checks which bin the close falls into, then adds that bar’s volume to the bin’s counter.
Gradient Mapping:
Bin volume is normalized against the max volume across all bins. That value is mapped onto a gradient from transparent → teal.
POC Logic:
The bin with highest volume is colored orange both on the dynamic trace and in the right-side profile.
Right-Hand Profile:
Boxes are drawn for each bin proportional to volume / maxVolume × 50 units, with text labels showing both absolute volume and normalized %.
⯁ USAGE
Use the orange trace as the dominant “magnet” level—price often gravitates to the POC.
Watch for clusters of strong teal traces as areas of high acceptance; thin or faint zones mark low-liquidity gaps prone to fast moves.
On intraday charts, tighten lookback to reveal session-based distributions . For swing or position trading, expand lookback to surface more durable volume shelves.
Compare the right-side profile % to judge how “top-heavy” or “bottom-heavy” the current distribution is.
Use bright, intense color traces as context for confluence with structure, OBs, or liquidity hunts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile takes the traditional volume profile and fuses it into the body of price itself. Instead of a fixed sidebar, you see gradient traces layered directly on the chart, giving real-time context of where volume concentrated and where price may be drawn. With built-in POC highlighting, normalized % readouts, and an adaptive right-side profile, it offers both precision levels and market structure awareness in a cleaner, more intuitive form.

**Note**: This is an educational tool meant to help traders learn pattern recognition and technical analysis concepts. Success requires practice, additional analysis, and proper risk management.
Breaout and followthroughThis indicator is designed to identify and highlight a single, powerful entry signal at the beginning of a new trend. It filters for high-volatility breakout bars that show strong directional conviction, helping traders catch the initial momentum of a potential move. It will only paint one bullish or bearish signal after a trend change is detected, preventing repeat signals during a sustained move.
Core Concept
The indicator combines four key concepts to generate high-probability signals:
Trend Direction: It first establishes the overall trend (bullish or bearish) using a configurable Exponential or Simple Moving Average (EMA/SMA).
Volatility Expansion: It looks for bars with a larger-than-average range by comparing the bar's size to the Average True Range (ATR). This helps identify moments of increased market interest.
Closing Strength (IBS): It uses the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) to measure directional conviction. A high IBS (closing near the top) suggests bullish strength, while a low IBS (closing near the bottom) suggests bearish pressure.
Breakout Confirmation: As an optional but powerful filter, it can confirm the signal by ensuring the bar is breaking above the high or below the low of a user-defined number of previous bars.
A signal is only generated on the first bar that meets all these criteria after the price crosses the trend-defining moving average, making it ideal for capturing the start of a new swing.
Features
Bullish Signals (Green): Highlights the first bar in an uptrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a high IBS (>70), and optionally breaks out above the recent highs.
Bearish Signals (Red): Highlights the first bar in a downtrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a low IBS (<30), and optionally breaks out below the recent lows.
"First Signal Only" Logic: The script is hard-coded to show only the initial signal in a new trend, filtering out noise and redundant signals.
Fully Customizable Trend Filter:
Choose between EMA or SMA for trend definition.
Set the MA length (default is a short-term 7-period MA).
Option to show or hide the moving average on the chart.
Optional Breakout Filter:
Enable or disable the requirement for the signal bar to break the high/low of previous bars.
Customize the lookback period for the breakout confirmation.
How to Use
This indicator can be used as a primary signal for a trend-following or momentum-based trading system.
Look for a Green Bar (Bullish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential uptrend. Consider it a signal for a long entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed below the low of the highlighted signal bar.
Look for a Red Bar (Bearish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential downtrend. Consider it a signal for a short entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed above the high of the highlighted signal bar.
Adjust Settings: Use the settings menu to configure the indicator to your preferred market and timeframe. A longer Trend MA Length will result in fewer, more long-term signals, while a shorter length will be more responsive.
As with any tool, this indicator is best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as market structure, support/resistance levels, and proper risk management.
Dominance Signal Apex [CHE]]Dominance Signal Apex — Triple-confirmed entry markers with stateful guardrails
Summary
This indicator focuses on entry timing by plotting markers only when three conditions align: a closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias, a monotonic stack of super-smoother filters, and the current HMA slope. A compact state machine provides guardrails: it starts a directional state on closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias, maintains it only while the smoother stack remains ordered, and renders a marker only if HMA slope agrees. This design aims for selective signals and reduces isolated prints during mixed conditions. Markers fade over time to visualize the age and persistence of the current state.
Motivation: Why this design?
Common triggers flip frequently in noise or react late when regimes shift. The core idea is to gate entry markers through a closed-bar state plus independent filter alignment. The state machine limits premature prints, removes markers when alignment breaks, and uses the HMA as a final directional gate. The result is fewer mixed-context entries and clearer clusters during sustained trends.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Single moving-average slope or classic MA cross signals.
Architecture differences:
Multi-length two-pole super-smoother stack with strict ordering checks.
Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias to start a directional state.
HMA slope as a final gate for rendering markers.
Time-based alpha fade to surface state age.
Practical effect: Entry markers appear in clusters during aligned regimes and are suppressed when conditions diverge, improving selectivity.
How it works (technical)
Measurements: Four recursive super-smoother series on price at short to medium horizons. Up regime means each shorter smoother sits below the next longer one; down regime is the inverse.
State machine: On bar close, positive Heikin-Ashi bias starts a bull state and negative bias starts a bear state. The state terminates the moment the smoother ordering breaks relative to the prior bar.
Rendering gate: A marker prints only if the active state agrees with the current HMA slope. The HMA is plotted and colored by slope for context.
Normalization and clamping: Marker transparency transitions from a starting to an ending alpha across a fixed number of bars, clamped within the allowed range.
Initialization: Persistent variables track state and bar-count since state start; Heikin-Ashi open is seeded on the first valid bar.
HTF/security: None used. State updates are closed-bar, which reduces repaint paths.
Bands: Smoothed high, low, centerline, and offset bands are computed but not rendered.
Parameter Guide
Show Markers — Toggle rendering — Default: true — Hides markers without changing logic.
Bull Color / Bear Color — Visual colors — Defaults: bright green / red — Aesthetic only.
Start Alpha / End Alpha — Transparency range — Defaults: one hundred / fifty, within zero to one hundred — Controls initial visibility and fade endpoint.
Steps — Fade length in bars — Default: eight, minimum one — Longer values extend the visual memory of a state.
Smoother Length — Internal band smoothing — Default: twenty-one, minimum two — Affects computed bands only; not drawn.
Band Multiplier — Internal band offset — Default: one point zero — No impact on markers.
Source — Input for HMA — Default: close — Align with your workflow.
Length — HMA length — Default: fifty, minimum one — Larger values reduce flips; smaller values react faster.
Reading & Interpretation
Entry markers:
Bull marker (below bar): Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias is positive, smoother stack remains aligned for up regime, and HMA slope is rising.
Bear marker (above bar): Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias is negative, smoother stack remains aligned for down regime, and HMA slope is falling.
Fade: Transparency progresses over the configured steps, indicating how long the current state has persisted.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Focus on marker clusters aligned with HMA color. Add structure filters such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows to avoid counter-trend entries.
Exits/Stops: Consider exiting or reducing risk when smoother ordering breaks, when HMA color flips, or when marker cadence thins out.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Suitable for liquid crypto, FX, indices, and equities. On lower timeframes, shorten HMA length and fade steps for faster response.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: State transitions and marker eligibility are decided on closed bars; live bars do not commit state changes until close.
security()/HTF: Not used.
Resources: Declared max bars back of one thousand five hundred; recursive filters and persistent states; no explicit loops.
Known limits: Some delay around sharp turns; brief states may start in noisy phases but are quickly revoked when alignment fails; HMA gating can miss very early reversals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start here: Keep defaults.
Too many flips: Increase HMA length and raise fade steps.
Too sluggish: Decrease HMA length and reduce fade steps.
Markers too faint/bold: Adjust start and end alpha toward lower or higher opacity.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
A selective entry-marker layer that prints only under triple confirmation with stateful guardrails. It is not a full system, not predictive, and does not handle risk. Combine with market structure, risk controls, and position management.

ICT 369 Sniper MSS Indicator (HTF Bias) - H2LThis script is an ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept-based trading indicator designed to identify high-probability reversal or continuation setups, primarily focusing on intraday trading using a Higher Timeframe (HTF) directional bias.
Here are the four core components of the indicator:
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bias Filter (Market Structure Shift - MSS): It determines the overall trend by checking if the current price has broken the most recent high or low swing point of a larger timeframe (e.g., 4H). This establishes a Bullish or Bearish bias, ensuring trades align with the dominant trend.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) and OTE: It identifies price imbalances (FVGs) and calculates the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) levels (50%, 62%, 70.5%, etc.) within those gaps, looking for price to retrace into these specific areas.
Kill Zones (Timing): It incorporates specific time windows (London and New York Kill Zones, based on NY Time) where institutional trading activity is high, only allowing entry signals during these defined periods.
Signal and Targets: It triggers a Long or Short signal when all criteria are met (HTF Bias, FVG, OTE retracement, and Kill Zone timing). It then calculates and plots suggested trade levels, including a Stop Loss (SL) and three Take Profit targets (TP1, TP2, and a dynamic Runner Target based on the weekly Average True Range or ATR).
In summary, it's a comprehensive tool for traders following ICT principles, automating the confluence check across trend, structure, liquidity, and timing.
Contrarian Period High & LowContrarian Period High & Low
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Overview
The "Contrarian Period High & Low" indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed for traders seeking to identify key support and resistance levels and capitalize on contrarian trading opportunities. By tracking the highest highs and lowest lows over user-defined periods (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly), this indicator plots historical levels and generates buy and sell signals when price breaks these levels in a contrarian manner. A unique blue dot counter and action table enhance decision-making, making it ideal for swing traders, trend followers, and those trading forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies. Optimized for daily charts, it can be adapted to other timeframes with proper testing.
How It Works
The indicator identifies the highest high and lowest low within a specified period (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly) and draws horizontal lines for the previous period’s extremes on the chart. These levels act as dynamic support and resistance zones. Contrarian signals are generated when the price crosses below the previous period’s low (buy signal) or above the previous period’s high (sell signal), indicating potential reversals. A blue dot counter tracks consecutive buy signals, and a table displays the count and recommended action, helping traders decide whether to hold or flip positions.
Key Components
Period High/Low Levels: Tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period, plotting red lines for highs and green lines for lows from the bar where they occurred, extending for a user-defined length (default: 200 bars).
Contrarian Signals: Generates buy signals (blue circles) when price crosses below the previous period’s low and sell signals (white circles) when price crosses above the previous period’s high, designed to capture potential reversals.
Blue Dot Tracker: Counts consecutive buy signals (“blue dots”). If three or more occur, it suggests a stronger trend, with the table recommending whether to “Hold Investment” or “Flip Investment.”
Action Table: A 2x2 table in the bottom-right corner displays the blue dot count and action (“Hold Investment” if count ≥ 4, else “Flip Investment”) for quick reference.
Mathematical Concepts
Period Detection: Uses an approximate bar count to define periods (1 bar for Daily, 5 bars for Weekly, 20 bars for Monthly on a daily chart). When a new period starts, the previous period’s high/low is finalized and plotted.
High/Low Tracking:
Highest high (periodHigh) and lowest low (periodLow) are updated within the period.
Lines are drawn at these levels when the period ends, starting from the bar where the extreme occurred (periodHighBar, periodLowBar).
Signal Logic:
Buy signal: ta.crossunder(close , prevPeriodLow) and not lowBroken and barstate.isconfirmed
Sell signal: ta.crossover(close , prevPeriodHigh) and not highBroken and barstate.isconfirmed
Flags (highBroken, lowBroken) prevent multiple signals for the same level within a period.
Blue Dot Counter: Increments on each buy signal, resets on a sell signal or if price exceeds the entry price after three or more buy signals.
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Circle): Triggered when the price crosses below the previous period’s low, suggesting a potential oversold condition and buying opportunity. The signal appears as a blue circle below the price bar.
Sell Signal (White Circle): Triggered when the price crosses above the previous period’s high, indicating a potential overbought condition and selling opportunity. The signal appears as a white circle above the price bar.
Blue Dot Tracker:
Increments blueDotCount on each buy signal and sets an entryPrice on the first buy.
Resets on a sell signal or if price exceeds entryPrice after three or more buy signals.
If blueDotCount >= 3, the table suggests holding; if >= 4, it reinforces “Hold Investment.”

Momentum Volume Analyzer [CHE] Momentum Volume Analyzer — Adaptive momentum with volume-gated signals and expressive visual cues
Summary
This indicator combines a normalized momentum oscillator with a volume Z-score gate and adaptive gradient visuals. The oscillator centers around a midline and scales between a lower and an upper bound. Intensity is derived from the distance to the midline and is normalized inside a rolling window, which helps keep contrast consistent across regimes. Volume pressure is compressed to a discrete level between one and ten and is used to qualify momentum flips and extremes. Layered “burst” markers and optional background gradients provide immediate visual emphasis without adding new data sources. Pine version is v6. The script runs in a separate pane.
Motivation: Why this design?
Common oscillators flip rapidly during noisy conditions or flatten during calm periods, which obscures actionable shifts. A rolling normalization keeps the visual intensity stable across different regimes, and a volume gate reduces reactions when participation is weak. The goal is clearer momentum shifts that are supported by measurable activity rather than cosmetic smoothing alone.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Classical RSI-style oscillators or simple filtered momentum without volume gating.
Architecture differences:
Local window normalization with gamma control for contrast.
Volume converted to a Z-score and compressed into a discrete level between one and ten with a configurable cap.
Directional color gradients that intensify with distance from the midline.
Layered glow markers with optional trail and an internal label budget to avoid UI overload.
Practical effect: Signals are visually stronger only when both momentum and volume align; background and line colors convey regime strength at a glance.
How it works (technical)
Momentum core: A high-pass path with automatic gain control produces a bounded oscillator centered around a midline. A simple moving average smooths the result over a short window.
Normalization and contrast: The absolute distance from the midline is scaled inside a rolling window and limited between zero and one. Two gamma parameters separately shape contrast for the line and for labels.
Coloring: When the oscillator is above the midline, a green gradient is used; below the midline, a red gradient is used. Intensity increases with normalized distance. Optional area fill to the midline and a background gradient reinforce strength.
Volume levels: Volume is standardized over a lookback window, clipped by a user cap, and mapped to a level between one and ten. Only positive excursions are considered; non-positive values map to zero.
Event markers: When the oscillator reaches extreme zones and the volume level is positive, the script spawns layered circular labels at fixed y-positions. A small trail can extend behind the event. An internal queue discards the oldest labels when a user-defined maximum is exceeded.
Alerts: Alerts fire on overbought and oversold spikes, midline shifts with minimum intensity and volume, and continuation patterns inside strong zones.
Parameter Guide
TFRSI length (default six): Core momentum lookback. Shorter values react faster but are less stable.
Signal SMA (default two): Light smoothing of the oscillator. Larger values reduce jitter.
Gradient window (default one hundred): Normalization window for intensity. Longer values produce steadier contrast but slower adaptation.
Line/marker transparency (default zero): Visual prominence of drawings. Higher values reduce dominance.
Background on and BG transparency (defaults true and eighty-five): Enables and tunes the pane background gradient.
Area fill to fifty and Fill transparency (defaults true and eighty): Fills between the oscillator and the midline.
Gamma bars/labels and Gamma plot (defaults zero point seven and zero point eight): Contrast shapers for markers and line. Higher values compress low intensities.
Bottom marker and Show last N (defaults true and three hundred thirty-three): Optional compact heat markers with a display cap.
Up/Down colors: Dark and neon pairs for positive and negative regimes.
Lookback (default two hundred) and Z cap (default five): Volume standardization window and clipping level before scaling to one through ten.
Enable bursts, Layers, Trail, Trail transparency, Max live labels, Size scale: Control the layered glow effect, trail length, opacity, label budget, and size multiplier. Reducing the size scale lowers visual dominance.
Spike min level, Shift min level, Min intensity, Rise/Fall length: Gates for alerts; adjust to balance sensitivity and false positives.
Reading & Interpretation
Line color and intensity: Green shades above the midline indicate bullish pressure; red shades below indicate bearish pressure. Stronger color corresponds to stronger normalized distance.
Background and fill: Reinforce regime strength; consider reducing transparency when the pane feels too busy.
Bursts and trails: Emphasize volume-backed extremes. Larger bursts reflect stronger volume levels or scaling choices.
Volume level: Internal level between one and ten. Levels near the upper bound signal exceptional activity.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use midline cross upward with minimum shift level and intensity as a trigger. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows. For shorts, reverse the conditions.
Exits and risk: Fade exposure when intensity weakens toward the midline or when volume level drops below the shift threshold. Consider disabling bursts when monitoring many symbols.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Defaults are designed to travel across liquid futures, large-cap equities, and major crypto pairs. For higher timeframes, increase the lookback window and consider reducing the Z cap.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Signals are evaluated on the live bar. They can appear and withdraw before bar close. For confirmed signals, require closed-bar alerts or manual confirmation.
Higher-timeframe sources: Not used. No `security` calls.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is two thousand. The script uses arrays and label objects, including loops for trails. The label budget mitigates clutter.
Known limits: Very illiquid symbols with unstable volume can reduce the usefulness of the Z-score. Sharp regime changes can still produce brief flips.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: TFRSI length six, Signal two, Gradient window one hundred, Z cap five, Spike level six, Shift level four, Min intensity zero point four, Rise length three, Size scale zero point five.
Too many flips: Increase Signal, increase Gradient window, or raise Shift level.
Too sluggish: Decrease TFRSI length or reduce Gradient window.
Bursts too dominant: Lower Size scale or reduce Layers; increase Trail transparency or set Trail length to zero.

Algorithmic Value Oscillator [CRYPTIK1]Algorithmic Value Oscillator
Introduction: What is the AVO? Welcome to the Algorithmic Value Oscillator (AVO), a powerful, modern momentum indicator that reframes the classic "overbought" and "oversold" concept. Instead of relying on a fixed lookback period like a standard RSI, the AVO measures the current price relative to a significant, higher-timeframe Value Zone .
This gives you a more contextual and structural understanding of price. The core question it answers is not just "Is the price moving up or down quickly?" but rather, " Where is the current price in relation to its recently established area of value? "
This allows traders to identify true "premium" (overbought) and "discount" (oversold) levels with greater accuracy, all presented with a clean, futuristic aesthetic designed for the modern trader.
The Core Concept: Price vs. Value The market is constantly trying to find equilibrium. The AVO is built on the principle that the high and low of a significant prior period (like the previous day or week) create a powerful area of perceived value.
The Value Zone: The range between the high and low of the selected higher timeframe.
Premium Territory (Distribution Zone): When the oscillator moves into the glowing pink/purple zone above +100, it is trading at a premium.
Discount Territory (Accumulation Zone): When the oscillator moves into the glowing teal/blue zone below -100, it is trading at a discount.
Key Features
1. Glowing Gradient Oscillator: The main oscillator line is a dynamic visual guide to momentum.
The line changes color smoothly from light blue to neon teal as bullish momentum increases.
It shifts from hot pink to bright purple as bearish momentum increases.
Multiple transparent layers create a professional "glow" effect, making the trend easy to see at a glance.
2. Dynamic Volatility Histogram: This histogram at the bottom of the indicator is a custom volatility meter. It has been engineered to be adaptive, ensuring that the visual differences between high and low volatility are always clear and dramatic, no matter your zoom level. It uses a multi-color gradient to visualize the intensity of market volatility.
3. Volatility Regime Dashboard: This simple on-screen table analyzes the histogram and provides a clear, one-word summary of the current market state: Compressing, Stable, or Expanding.
How to Use the AVO: Trading Strategies
1. Reversion Trading This is the most direct way to use the indicator.
Look for Buys: When the AVO line drops into the teal "Accumulation Zone" (below -100), the price is trading at a discount. Watch for the oscillator to form a bottom and start turning up as a signal that buying pressure is returning.
Look for Sells: When the AVO line moves into the pink "Distribution Zone" (above +100), the price is trading at a premium. Watch for the oscillator to form a peak and start turning down as a signal that selling pressure is increasing.
2. Best Practices & Settings
Timeframe Synergy: The AVO is most effective when your chart timeframe is lower than your selected "Value Zone Source." For example, if you trade on the 1-hour chart, set your Value Zone to "Previous Day."
Confirmation is Key: This indicator provides powerful context, but it should not be used in isolation. Always combine its readings with your primary analysis, such as market structure and support/resistance levels.

DrFX Reversal Algo - MACD-RSI System with Dynamic Zone Filtering**DrFX Reversal Algo** is a sophisticated reversal detection system that combines MACD momentum analysis with RSI confirmation and dynamic support/resistance zone filtering. This indicator employs advanced mathematical filtering techniques to identify high-probability reversal points while minimizing false signals through intelligent zone-based filtering.
**Core Innovation & Originality**
This system uniquely integrates four key analytical components:
1. **Enhanced MACD Engine** - Customizable fast (20), slow (50), and signal (12) lengths with crossover/crossunder detection optimized for reversal identification
2. **RSI Power Classification** - 14-period RSI used to classify signal strength and trend bias, distinguishing between "Strong" and regular signals
3. **Kalman-Filtered Dynamic Zones** - Advanced mathematical smoothing of support/resistance levels using Kalman filter algorithms for noise reduction
4. **Gradient-Based Visual System** - Power-weighted bar coloring that visualizes trend strength using MACD histogram and RSI signal intensity
**System Architecture & Functionality**
**Signal Generation Methodology:**
The core algorithm detects MACD line crossovers above and below the signal line, then applies RSI-based classification. When RSI signal (RSI-50) is positive during bullish MACD crossovers, the system generates "Strong Buy" signals. When RSI signal is negative or neutral, it produces regular "Buy" signals. The inverse logic applies for sell signals.
**Dynamic Zone Calculation:**
Support and resistance zones are calculated using a multi-step process:
1. **Volatility Bands**: ATR-based upper/lower bands using (high+low)/2 ± ATR * multiplier
2. **Precise Zone Definition**: Integration of 20-period highest/lowest calculations with volatility bands
3. **Kalman Filter Smoothing**: Advanced noise reduction using configurable Q (0.01) and R (0.1) parameters
4. **Zone Validation**: Real-time adjustment based on price action and volatility changes
**Kalman Filter Implementation:**
The system employs a custom Kalman filter function for zone smoothing:
```
kf_k = kf_p / (kf_p + kf_r)
kf_x = kf_k * input + (1 - kf_k) * previous_estimate
kf_p = (1 - kf_k) * kf_p + kf_q
```
This mathematical approach reduces zone boundary noise while maintaining responsiveness to genuine support/resistance level changes.
**Unique Visual Features**
**Power-Based Gradient System:**
Bar coloring utilizes a sophisticated gradient calculation based on MACD histogram power (absolute value) and RSI signal strength. The system creates dynamic color transitions:
- **Bullish Gradient**: Green spectrum (0-255 intensity) based on histogram power
- **Bearish Gradient**: Red spectrum (0-255 intensity) based on histogram power
- **Consolidation**: Mixed gradient indicating uncertain market conditions
**Dynamic Zone Visualization:**
- **Support Zones**: Blue-filled areas between smoothed support boundaries
- **Resistance Zones**: Red-filled areas between smoothed resistance boundaries
- **Zone Adaptation**: Real-time boundary adjustment based on volatility and price action
**Signal Classification System**
**Signal Strength Hierarchy:**
1. **Strong Buy**: MACD bullish crossover + RSI signal > 0 (above 50-line)
2. **Regular Buy**: MACD bullish crossover + RSI signal ≤ 0 (below 50-line)
3. **Strong Sell**: MACD bearish crossover + RSI signal < 0 (below 50-line)
4. **Regular Sell**: MACD bearish crossover + RSI signal ≥ 0 (above 50-line)
**Optional Zone Filtering:**
When enabled, the system only displays signals when:
- Buy signals: Price above smoothed support zone end
- Sell signals: Price below smoothed resistance zone start
**Usage Instructions**
**Primary Signal Interpretation:**
- **Large Green Triangles**: Strong buy signals with RSI confirmation above 50
- **Small Green Triangles**: Regular buy signals with RSI below 50
- **Large Red Triangles**: Strong sell signals with RSI confirmation below 50
- **Small Red Triangles**: Regular sell signals with RSI above 50
**Zone Analysis:**
- **Blue Zones**: Dynamic support areas where buying interest may emerge
- **Red Zones**: Dynamic resistance areas where selling pressure may increase
- **Zone Breaks**: Price movement outside zones indicates potential trend continuation
**Bar Color Interpretation:**
- **Bright Green**: Strong bullish momentum (high MACD histogram power + positive RSI)
- **Dark Green**: Moderate bullish momentum
- **Bright Red**: Strong bearish momentum (high MACD histogram power + negative RSI)
- **Dark Red**: Moderate bearish momentum
- **Mixed Colors**: Consolidation or uncertain trend direction
**Optimal Usage Strategies:**
1. **Reversal Trading**: Focus on signals occurring near zone boundaries
2. **Confirmation Trading**: Use zone filter to reduce false signals in trending markets
3. **Momentum Trading**: Prioritize "Strong" signals with bright gradient bar coloring
4. **Multi-Timeframe**: Combine with higher timeframe trend analysis for context
**Parameter Customization**
**MACD Settings:**
- **Fast Length (20)**: Shorter periods increase sensitivity
- **Slow Length (50)**: Longer periods reduce noise
- **Signal Smoothing (12)**: Affects crossover signal timing
**Support/Resistance Settings:**
- **Volatility Period (10)**: ATR calculation period for zone width
- **Multiplier (5.0)**: Zone expansion factor based on volatility
**Visual Settings:**
- **Gradient Range (2000)**: Controls color intensity scaling
- **Zone Filtering**: Enables/disables signal filtering based on zone position
**Advanced Features**
**Alert System:**
Comprehensive alert functionality with detailed messages including symbol, timeframe, current price, and signal type. Separate enable/disable options for long and short alerts.
**Mathematical Precision:**
The Kalman filter implementation provides superior noise reduction compared to simple moving averages while maintaining responsiveness to genuine market structure changes.
**Important Considerations**
This system works optimally in markets with clear support/resistance levels and moderate volatility. The Kalman filter smoothing may introduce slight lag during rapid market movements. Strong signals generally provide higher probability setups but may be less frequent than regular signals.
The algorithm combines established techniques (MACD, RSI) with advanced filtering and zone detection methodologies. The integration of multiple confirmation methods helps reduce false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine reversal opportunities.
**Disclaimer**: This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The system's effectiveness varies across different market conditions and timeframes. Always implement proper risk management and consider multiple confirmation methods before making trading decisions.

Bollinger Bands (SMA 21, 2.618σ)Indicator Description: Bollinger Bands (2.618σ, 21 SMA) + RSI with Fibonacci
This custom indicator combines Bollinger Bands and Relative Strength Index (RSI), enhanced with Fibonacci-based configurations, to provide confluence signals for rejection candles, reversal setups, and continuation patterns.
Bollinger Bands Settings (Customized)
Middle Band → 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Upper Band → SMA + 2.618 standard deviations
Lower Band → SMA − 2.618 standard deviations
These parameters expand the bands compared to the traditional (20, 2.0) settings, making them better suited for volatility extremes and higher timeframe swing analysis.
Color Scheme
Middle Band = Orange
Upper Band = Red
Lower Band = Green
This color-coding emphasizes key rejection levels visually.
Candle Rejection Logic
The indicator is designed to highlight potential rejection candles when price interacts with the outer Bollinger Bands:
At the Upper Band, rejection signals suggest overextension and potential downside reaction.
At the Lower Band, rejection signals suggest oversold conditions and potential upside reaction.
Rejection Candle Types Tracked
Hammer (bullish reversal, lower rejection wick at bottom band)
Inverted Hammer (bearish reversal, upper rejection wick at top band)
Doji candles (indecision at band extremes)
Double Top formations near the upper band
Double Bottom formations near the lower band
Relative Strength Index (RSI) Settings
RSI is configured with Fibonacci retracement levels instead of traditional 30/70 thresholds.
Fibonacci sequence levels used include:
23.6% (0.236)
38.2% (0.382)
50% (0.5)
61.8% (0.618)
78.6% (0.786)
This alignment with Fibonacci ratios provides deeper market structure insights into momentum strength and exhaustion points.
Trading Confluence Zones
Upper Band + RSI at 0.618–0.786 zone → High probability bearish rejection.
Lower Band + RSI at 0.236–0.382 zone → High probability bullish reversal.
Band interaction + Doji or Hammer candles → Stronger signal confirmation.
Use Cases
Identifying trend exhaustion when price repeatedly fails to break above the upper band.
Spotting accumulation or distribution phases when price consolidates around Fibonacci-based RSI zones.
Detecting false breakouts when candle patterns (like Doji or Inverted Hammer) occur beyond the bands.
Why 2.618 Deviation & 21 SMA?
Standard Bollinger Bands (20, 2.0) capture ~95% of price action.
By widening to 2.618σ, we target extreme volatility outliers — areas where reversals are statistically more likely.
A 21-period SMA aligns better with common cycle lengths (3 trading weeks on daily charts) and Fibonacci-related time cycles.
Practical Strategy
Step 1: Watch when price touches or pierces the upper/lower band.
Step 2: Check for candle rejection patterns (Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Doji, Double Top/Bottom).
Step 3: Confirm with RSI Fibonacci levels for confluence.
Step 4: Trade with the prevailing trend or look for reversal setups if multiple confluence factors align.
Cautions
Not all touches of the bands signal reversals — strong trends can ride along the bands for extended periods.
Always combine with price action structure, volume, and higher timeframe trend bias.
📌 Summary
This indicator blends volatility-based bands with Fibonacci momentum analysis and classical candle rejection patterns. The combination of Bollinger Bands (21, 2.618σ) and RSI Fibonacci levels helps traders detect high-probability rejection zones, reversal opportunities, and overextended conditions with improved accuracy over traditional default settings.
Dual-Frame Momentum OscillatorDual-Frame Momentum Oscillator (DFMO)
This is not just another oscillator. This is a confluence engine, built for the discerning trader who reads the story of price action and needs an objective tool to confirm the climax.
The Dual-Frame Momentum Oscillator was designed to solve a specific problem: how to differentiate a genuine, sustainable breakout from an exhaustive liquidity grab. It provides a visual confirmation for high-probability reversal and scalp setups by measuring momentum across two distinct time frames simultaneously.
This tool is for the trader who understands that indicators should not dictate trades, but rather confirm a well-defined thesis based on market structure, volume, and liquidity.
The Core Concept: Context Meets Trigger
The DFMO fuses a slow, methodical Stochastic with a hyper-sensitive RSI to give you a complete picture of momentum.
The Context (Slow Stochastic %K - default 40,4,4): This acts as your long-term momentum gauge. It tells you if the underlying trend is healthy or nearing exhaustion. A high reading suggests the market is overextended and vulnerable, while a low reading suggests the opposite.
The Trigger (Fast RSI - default 3): This is your immediate impulse reader. It measures the velocity and intensity of the current price thrust, making it incredibly sensitive to exhaustive moves, spikes, and bounces.
By themselves, they are useful. Together, they are formidable.
The Confluence Engine: Your Visual Edge
The true power of the DFMO lies in its "Confluence Engine." The indicator's background highlights in real-time when both oscillators are in agreement, visually flagging moments of maximum opportunity.
Bearish Confluence Zone (Red): The background turns red only when the Stochastic is overbought AND the RSI is overbought. This is your signal that the broader trend is exhausted and the current buying impulse has reached a climax. It is the ideal confirmation for a short entry following a liquidity sweep above a key high.
Bullish Confluence Zone (Green): The background turns green only when the Stochastic is oversold AND the RSI is oversold. This signals that the downtrend is tired and the immediate selling pressure is exhaustive, providing high-probability confirmation for a long entry at a key support level.
When these zones appear, the indicator is telling you that both the context and the trigger are aligned. This removes ambiguity and allows for decisive, confident execution.
Practical Application: The Liquidity Sweep
Imagine you're stalking a short on a futures contract like MCL or MES. You've marked the high of the day (HOD) as a key resistance level where liquidity is resting. You see a sharp, vertical impulse move that breaks the HOD, clearing out the stops.
Is this a real breakout, or is it a manipulation move—a classic liquidity grab?

## ⚠️ Critical Success Factors
1. Always Verify the Trend Yourself
The indicator helps identify signals, but YOU must confirm the larger trend context. Check higher timeframes and overall market structure before entering.
2. Understand the "Big Players"
Strong candles in trend direction usually come from institutional money (banks, funds, algorithms). These create the momentum that retail traders can follow. The indicator catches these institutional moves.
3. Distance to Next Value Level
NEVER enter if price is too close to major resistance/support levels:
- Check distance to round numbers (1.1000, 1.1050, etc.)
- Ensure at least 20-30 pips room to next key level
- You need space for profit - tight levels = limited upside
4. Risk Management
- Stop Loss: 1-2 ATR from entry
- Take Profit: 2-3 ATR target (minimum 1:2 R/R)
- Position Size: Risk max 1-2% per trade
## 💡 Pro Tips
- Best Sessions: London open (8-12 UTC) and NY open (13-17 UTC)
- Avoid: Major news, low liquidity periods, choppy markets
- Multiple Timeframes: Confirm signals on higher timeframe
- Value Levels: Always check daily/weekly support/resistance before entering
## 🎯 Success Formula
Trend Confirmation + Strong Institutional Candle + Distance to Value Levels = High Probability Trade

Remember: The indicator finds the signals, but successful trading requires your analysis of trend context and value level positioning. Trade smart, not just frequent.
