🔶 Multi-Factor Event Recognition
Incorporates multiple event conditions, including upthrusts, selling climaxes, and springs, to detect high-probability entry and exit points. Each event is filtered through customizable sensitivity settings, ensuring precise detection aligned with different trading styles.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune event detection with adjustable thresholds for volume, price movement, trend strength, and event spacing. These inputs allow traders to personalize the script to match their strategy and risk tolerance.
// === USER INPUTS ===
i_volLen = input.int(20, "Volume MA Length", minval=1)
i_priceLookback = input.int(20, "Price Pattern Lookback", minval=5)
i_lineLength = input.int(15, "Line Length", minval=5)
i_labelSpacing = input.int(5, "Minimum Label Spacing (bars)", minval=1, maxval=20)
❓How It Works
🔶 Event Identification
The script scans for key Wyckoff events by analyzing volume spikes, price deviations, and trend shifts within a user-defined lookback period. It categorizes events into bullish (accumulation) or bearish (distribution) structures and plots them directly on the chart.
// === EVENT DETECTION ===
volMA = ta.sma(volume, i_volLen)
highestHigh = ta.highest(high, i_priceLookback)
lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, i_priceLookback)
🔶 Automatic Filtering & Cleanup
Unconfirmed or weak signals are filtered out using customizable strength multipliers and volume thresholds. Events that do not meet the minimum conditions are discarded to keep the chart clean and informative.
🔶 Phase Strength Analysis

What Makes BBVOL SwiftEdge Unique?
Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands scripts that focus solely on price volatility, BBVOL SwiftEdge enhances signal precision by:
Using Heikin Ashi to filter out noise and confirm trend direction, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
Incorporating volume analysis to ensure signals align with significant buying or selling pressure (customizable thresholds).
Adding an EMA overlay to keep trades in sync with the short-term trend.
Coloring candlesticks (green for bullish, red for bearish, purple for consolidation) to visually highlight market conditions at a glance.
How Does It Work?
Buy Signal: Triggers when price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, Heikin Ashi shows bullish momentum (close > open), buy volume exceeds your set threshold (default 30%), and price is above the EMA. A green triangle appears below the candle.
Sell Signal: Triggers when price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band, Heikin Ashi turns bearish (close < open), sell volume exceeds the threshold (default 30%), and price is below the EMA. A red triangle appears above the candle.
Trend Visualization: Candles turn green when price is significantly above the Bollinger Bands’ basis (indicating a bullish trend), red when below (bearish trend), or purple when near the basis (consolidation), based on a customizable threshold (default 10% of BB width).
Risk Management: Each signal calculates a stop-loss (10% beyond the opposite band) and take-profit (opposite band), plotted for reference.
How to Use It
Timeframe: Best on 1-minute to 5-minute charts for scalping; test higher timeframes for swing trading.
Markets: Works well in volatile markets like forex pairs (e.g., EUR/USD), crypto (e.g., BTC/USD), or liquid stocks.
Customization: Adjust Bollinger Bands length (default 10), multiplier (default 1.2), volume thresholds (default 30%), EMA length (default 3), and consolidation threshold (default 0.1%) to match your strategy.
Interpretation: Look for green/red triangles as entry signals, confirmed by candle colors. Purple candles suggest caution—wait for a breakout. Use stop-loss/take-profit levels for trade management.
Underlying Concepts
Bollinger Bands: Measures volatility and identifies overbought/oversold zones.
Heikin Ashi: Smooths price action to emphasize trend direction.
Volume Momentum: Calculates cumulative buy/sell volume percentages to confirm market strength (e.g., buyVolPercent = buyVolume / totalVolume * 100).
EMA: A fast-moving average (default length 3) ensures signals align with the immediate trend.
Chart Setup

Volatility Based Momentum by QTX Algo SystemsVolatility Based Momentum by QTX Algo Systems
Overview
This indicator is designed to determine whether a market trend is genuinely supported by both momentum and volatility. It produces per-candle signals when a smoothed momentum oscillator is above its moving average, a Price – Moving Average Ratio confirms overall trend strength by remaining above a preset level with a positive slope, and when at least one of two distinct volatility metrics is rising. This integrated approach offers traders a consolidated and dynamic view of market energy, delivering more actionable insights than a simple merger of standard indicators.
How It Works
The indicator fuses two complementary volatility measures with dual momentum assessments to ensure robust signal generation. One volatility metric evaluates long-term market behavior by analyzing the dispersion of logarithmic price changes, while the other—derived from a Bollinger Band Width Percentile—captures recent price variability and confirms that market volatility remains above a minimum threshold. A trading signal is generated only when at least one of these volatility measures shows a sustained upward trend over several candles.
For momentum, a double‐smoothed Stochastic Momentum Index provides a refined, short-term view of price action, filtering out market noise. In addition, the PMARP serves as a confirmation tool by comparing the current price to its moving average, requiring that its value remains above a defined level with a positive slope to indicate a strong trend. Together, these elements ensure that a signal is only produced when both the market’s momentum and volatility are in alignment.
Although the components used are based on well-known technical analysis methods, the thoughtful integration of these elements creates a tool that is more than the sum of its parts. By combining long-term volatility assessment with a real-time measure of recent price variability—and by merging short-term momentum analysis with a confirmation of overall trend strength—the indicator delivers a more reliable and comprehensive view of market energy. This holistic approach distinguishes it from standard indicators.
How to Use
Traders can adjust the volatility threshold setting to tailor the indicator to their preferred market or timeframe. The indicator displays per-candle signals when both the refined momentum criteria and the dynamic volatility conditions are met. These signals are intended to be used as part of a broader trading strategy, in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for confirming entries and exits.

Continuation Opportunity Indicator by QTX Algo SystemsContinuation Opportunity Indicator by QTX Algo Systems
Overview
This indicator is designed to pinpoint key moments within an established trend when a pullback is likely just a temporary consolidation rather than a reversal. It distinguishes phases of reduced volatility—suggesting a pause or consolidation—from moments when volatility subsequently increases, confirming that the prevailing trend is resuming. This integrated approach combines multiple classical elements into a unique tool that offers traders clear insight into trend continuity.
How It Works
The indicator marries two types of volatility measurements with dual momentum assessments and a trend filter to generate continuation signals. Two complementary volatility metrics are used: one assesses long-term price dispersion to gauge overall market behavior, while the other employs a percentile-based method to capture recent variability and ensure that overall market volatility meets a minimum threshold. A critical part of the signal generation is that the pullback must occur during a period of reduced volatility, indicating consolidation, and then be followed by an increase in volatility, which confirms the resumption of the trend.
For momentum analysis, a double‐smoothed oscillator provides a refined, short-term view of price action, and a Price – Moving Average Ratio (PMARP) confirms the trend’s strength by requiring that it remains above or below a set threshold with a positive or negative slope, respectively. Signals are produced based on crossover events in the momentum oscillator that occur after a pullback, with the subsequent rise in volatility validating the trend continuation. A moving average-based trend filter further ensures that these signals align with the broader market direction.
While the individual components—volatility measures, momentum oscillators, and trend filters—are standard in technical analysis, their deliberate integration in this script results in a tool that is greater than the sum of its parts. Rather than merely merging indicators, this system is crafted to filter out false signals and clearly differentiate between temporary consolidations and genuine trend continuations. By providing a holistic view of market behavior, it offers traders actionable insight into when a pullback is simply a pause before the trend resumes.
How to Use
Traders should monitor the chart for opportunity signals. These signals indicate that a consolidation phase is ending and that the overall trend is likely to continue. Adjust the volatility parameters as needed to suit your market or timeframe, and use these signals in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm optimal entry and exit points.

Volume Delta & Order Block Suite [QuantAlgo]Upgrade your volume analysis and order flow trading with Volume Delta & Order Block Suite by QuantAlgo, a sophisticated technical indicator that leverages advanced volume delta calculations, along with dynamic order block detection to provide deep insights into market participant behavior. By calculating the distribution of volume between buyers and sellers and tracking pivotal volume zones, the indicator helps traders understand the underlying forces driving price movements. It is particularly valuable for those looking to identify high-probability trading opportunities based on volume imbalances and key price levels where significant activity has occurred.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Volume Delta & Order Block Suite utilizes sophisticated volume analysis techniques to estimate buying and selling pressure within each price candle. The core volume delta calculation employs a formula that estimates buy volume as: Volume × (Close - Low) ÷ (High - Low) , with sell volume calculated as the remainder of total volume. This approach assumes that when price closes near the high of a candle, most volume represents buying pressure, and when price closes near the low, most volume represents selling pressure.
For order block detection, the indicator implements a multi-step process involving volume pivot identification and price state tracking. It first detects significant volume pivot points using the ta.pivothigh function with a user-defined pivot period. It then tracks the market's order state based on whether the high exceeds the highest high or the low falls below the lowest low. When a volume pivot occurs, the indicator creates order blocks based on price levels at that pivot point. These blocks are continuously monitored for invalidation based on subsequent price action.
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Volume Delta Representation on Candles
The Volume Delta visualization on candles shows the buy/sell distribution directly on price bars, creating an immediate visual representation of volume pressure.
When buyers are dominant, candles are colored with the bullish theme color (default: green/teal).
Similarly, when sellers are dominant, candles are colored with the bearish theme color (default: red).
This visualization provides immediate insights into underlying volume pressure without requiring separate indicators, helping traders quickly identify which side of the market is in control.
2. Buy/Sell Pressure Information Table
The Volume Analysis Table provides a comprehensive breakdown of volume metrics across multiple timeframes, helping traders identify shifts in market behavior.
The table is organized into four timeframe columns:
Current Volume
1 Bar Before
1 Day Before
1 Week Before
For each timeframe, the table displays:
Buy volume: The estimated buying volume based on price action
Sell volume: The estimated selling volume based on price action
Total volume: The sum of buy and sell volume
Delta: The difference between buy and sell volume (positive when buyers are dominant, negative when sellers are dominant)
Additionally, the table shows both absolute values and percentage distributions, with trend indicators (Up, Down, or Neutral) at the bottom row of each timeframe column.
This multi-timeframe approach helps traders:
→ Identify volume imbalances between buyers and sellers
→ Track changes in volume delta across different periods
→ Compare current conditions with historical patterns
→ Detect potential reversals by watching for shifts in delta direction
The delta values are particularly useful as they provide a clear indication of market dominance – positive delta (Up) when buyers are dominant, and negative delta (Down) when sellers are dominant.
3. Order Blocks and Their Confluence
Order blocks represent significant price zones where volume pivots occur, potentially indicating areas of significant market participant activity.
The indicator identifies two types of order blocks:
Bullish Order Blocks (support): Highlighted with a green/teal color, these represent potential support areas where price might bounce when revisited
Bearish Order Blocks (resistance): Highlighted with a red color, these represent potential resistance areas where price might reverse when revisited
Each order block is visualized as a colored rectangle with a dashed line showing the average price within the block. The blocks are extended to the right until they are invalidated.
Order blocks can serve as key reference points for trading decisions, for example:
Support/resistance identification
Stop loss placement (beyond the opposite edge of the block)
Potential reversal zones
Target areas for profit-taking
When price approaches an order block, traders should look for confluence with the volume delta on candles and the information in the volume analysis table. Strong setups occur when all three components align – for example, when price approaches a bearish order block with increasing sell volume shown on the candles and in the volume table.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
→ Volume Analysis and Interpretation: The indicator visualizes the buy/sell volume ratio directly on price candles using color intensity, allowing traders to immediately identify which side (buyers or sellers) is dominant. This information helps in assessing the strength behind price movements and potential continuation or reversal signals.
→ Order Block Trading Strategies: The indicator highlights significant price zones where volume pivots occur, marking these as potential support (bullish order blocks) or resistance (bearish order blocks). Traders can use these levels to identify potential reversal points, stop placement, and profit targets.
→ Multi-timeframe Volume Comparison: Through its comprehensive volume analysis table, the indicator enables traders to compare volume patterns across current, recent, daily, and weekly timeframes. This helps in identifying shifts in market behavior and confirming the strength of ongoing trends.
🟢 Pro Tips
Adjust Pivot Period based on your timeframe:
→ Lower values (3-5) for more frequent order blocks
→ Higher values (7-10) for stronger, less frequent order blocks
Fine-tune Mitigation Method based on your trading style:
→ "Wick" for more conservative invalidation
→ "Close" for more lenient order block survival

Fractal Breakout Trend Following System█ OVERVIEW
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following System is a custom technical analysis tool designed to pinpoint significant fractal pivot points and breakout levels. By analyzing price action through configurable pivot parameters, this indicator dynamically identifies key support and resistance zones. It not only marks crucial highs and lows on the chart but also signals potential trend reversals through real-time breakout detections, helping traders capture shifts in market momentum.
█ KEY FEATURES
Fractal Pivot Detection
Utilizes user-defined left and right pivot lengths to detect local highs (pivot highs) and lows (pivot lows). This fractal-based approach ensures that only meaningful price moves are considered, effectively filtering out minor market noise.
Dynamic Line Visualization
Upon confirmation of a pivot, the system draws a dynamic line representing resistance (from pivot highs) or support (from pivot lows). These lines extend across the chart until a breakout occurs, offering a continuous visual guide to key levels.
Trend Breakout Signals
Monitors for price crossovers relative to the drawn pivot lines. A crossover above a resistance line signals a bullish breakout, while a crossunder below a support line indicates a bearish move, thus updating the prevailing trend.
Pivot Labelling
Assigns labels such as "HH", "LH", "LL", or "HL" to detected pivots based on their relative values.
It uses the following designations:
HH (Higher High) : Indicates that the current pivot high is greater than the previous pivot high, suggesting continued upward momentum.
LH (Lower High) : Signals that the current pivot high is lower than the previous pivot high, which may hint at a potential reversal within an uptrend.
LL (Lower Low) : Shows that the current pivot low is lower than the previous pivot low, confirming sustained downward pressure.
HL (Higher Low) : Reveals that the current pivot low is higher than the previous pivot low, potentially indicating the beginning of an upward reversal in a downtrend.
These labels provide traders with immediate insight into the market structure and recent price behavior.
Customizable Visual Settings
Offers various customization options:
• Adjust pivot sensitivity via left/right pivot inputs.
• Toggle pivot labels on or off.
• Enable background color changes to reflect bullish or bearish trends.
• Choose preferred colors for bullish (e.g., green) and bearish (e.g., red) signals.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
Fractal Pivot Calculation
The script employs a sliding window technique using configurable left and right parameters to identify local highs and lows. Detected pivot values are sanitized to ensure consistency in subsequent calculations.
Dynamic Line Plotting
When a new pivot is detected, a corresponding line is drawn from the pivot point. This line extends until the price breaks the level, at which point it is reset. This method provides a continuous reference for support and resistance.
Trend Breakout Identification
By continuously monitoring price interactions with the pivot lines, the indicator identifies breakouts. A price crossover above a resistance line suggests a bullish breakout, while a crossunder below a support line indicates a bearish shift. The current trend is updated accordingly.
Pivot Label Assignment
The system compares the current pivot with the previous one to determine if the move represents a higher high, lower high, higher low, or lower low. This classification helps traders understand the underlying market momentum.

Users can visually track momentum using the smooth gradient fill between the VWAP plot and the center line . The fill color changes from blue ( positive momentum ) to purple ( negative momentum ), and turquoise ( neutral ), helping traders quickly assess market sentiment and trend strength.
How to Use WAVES by Westmont :
Bullish Momentum : Users can look for blue dots when the VWAP area crosses upward . This suggests the market is in an uptrend as price moves above the VWAP , potentially indicating upward price action .
Bearish Momentum : Users can look for purple dots when the VWAP area crosses downward . This suggests the market is in a downtrend as price moves below the VWAP , indicating potential for downward price action .
Neutral Market Conditions : Users can observe when the VWAP area remains near the center line ( turquoise ), indicating market consolidation or indecision .
Code Usage :
The indicator uses TradingView’s built-in functions (EMA, SMA, and fractals), which are well-optimized for standard technical analysis. These functions serve as a foundation for the indicator’s calculations. Users can trust that the public domain functions ensure efficient performance, while the added customizations enhance signal quality by integrating WaveTrend and VWAP dynamics.
Dynamic Trend & Levels by VikOpineThis indicator combines the best aspects of trend-following, volume and price action to help traders make informed decisions and can be used with other indicators for confluence. 🚀
Key Features and Concepts:
Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA):
Unlike a simple moving average, the VWMA gives more weight to price action with higher volume, helping traders identify strong trends backed by significant market participation.
It helps distinguish between low-volume price fluctuations and meaningful market moves.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Used by institutional traders, VWAP serves as a benchmark to gauge whether the current price is overbought or oversold relative to the average price weighted by volume.
The indicator tracks VWAP levels dynamically, offering insights into price reversion opportunities and breakout confirmations.
Fibonacci Levels (Dynamic Support & Resistance):
The script dynamically plots Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on recent price swings, allowing traders to identify potential reversal and continuation zones. These levels change colors individually based on them becoming support or resistance.
Fibonacci levels help in setting stop-loss levels and profit targets based on natural market cycles.
Ichimoku Cloud (Trend Confirmation & Market Sentiment):
Provides a multi-dimensional view of trend strength, momentum, and potential reversals.
The Kumo (cloud) helps traders identify support and resistance zones, while the Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen lines confirm trend direction. I prefer to remove the lines and only keep the clouds to anticipate upcoming trend.
How the Indicator Works:
The script dynamically calculates and overlays VWMA and VWAP to give a clear view of volume-backed trends.
Fibonacci levels are recalculated based on recent swing highs and lows, ensuring they remain relevant to current price action. This feature avoids to re-draw Fibs manually.
The Ichimoku Cloud adjusts in real-time to provide trend and momentum signals.
The session volume profile updates dynamically to highlight high-liquidity zones and potential breakout areas.
Alerts can be set up in Tradingview allowing traders to know the price action in real time.
How to Use This Indicator in Trading:
Trend Confirmation: Use VWMA, VWAP, and the Ichimoku Cloud to determine the prevailing trend and avoid trading against market momentum. Go with the trend.
Reversals: Look at the dynamic Fibonacci levels to find key support and resistance areas where price may reverse or consolidate. These levels change color as they become support or resistance.
Breakout & Continuation Trading: Monitor VWAP deviations and Ichimoku signals to identify strong trend continuation setups.
Mean Reversion: Use VWAP re-tests to spot potential pullback entries in established trends.
Alerts: Customize alerts to stay ahead of market moves.
Take advantage of paper trading feature available in Tradingview to familiarize yourself with this indicator. Experience is the best teacher as in any other case.
Ideal for:
✅ Traders looking to capitalize on VWAP trend and level.
✅ Traders utilizing Fibonacci levels and Ichimoku trends for structured trades.
✅ Scalpers leveraging levels and trends for quick entries/exits.
✅ Traders who rely on volume-backed trend confirmations.

ZenAlgo - DetectorThis script combines multiple volume data sources, calculates several forms of volume-based metrics, displays a table for Spot vs. Perpetual volumes, and visualizes several technical elements (such as cumulative delta, divergences, fractals, and specialized moving averages). The primary objective is to help analyze volume activity across different exchanges, compare Spot vs. Perpetual markets, and observe how shifting volumes may coincide with price action characteristics. This description aims to clarify each component, explain how the calculations are performed, and show you how to interpret the various chart markings.
Why Combine These Metrics in One Script?
Many publicly available volume-related tools focus only on a single exchange or a single type of volume (like spot or futures). This script merges multiple exchange sources for spot and perpetual data into a unified view. By doing so, users can detect discrepancies or confirm alignment between different markets without juggling multiple indicators. It also processes volume-derived signals (delta, divergences, fractals, etc.) in one place, sparing you from manually combining various standalone scripts. Through this integration, it becomes easier to observe how price and volume interact across different market segments.
Core Concept: Aggregated Volume
The script begins by collecting volumes from multiple exchanges in two categories:
Spot volumes – Typically aggregated under symbols ending with "USDT" or a user-selected currency, and
Perpetual volumes – From perpetual futures contracts (e.g., symbols ending in "USD.P" or "USDT.P").
All these exchange volumes are requested via the built-in request.security() function in a single line for each exchange. The user can enable or disable each exchange in the inputs. The script then calculates an "aggregated volume" for Spot, an aggregated volume for Perpetual, and an overall combined total.
This aggregated volume is used later to break down how much of each bar's volume can be considered "buy" or "sell" based on the bar's candle structure (body vs. wicks).
Volume-Based Calculations: Buy vs. Sell Volume and Delta
For each bar, the script estimates how much of the aggregated volume can be associated with a "buy side" and a "sell side."
Volume Buy is computed if the bar's close is above the open , giving more weight to the candle's body and allocating some portion of volume to the wicks as well.
Volume Sell is similarly computed if the bar's close is below the open .
This results in a Delta value: Delta = (Buy Volume) – (Sell Volume).
Additionally, the script accumulates these values over a user-defined "lookback length" to provide Cumulative Delta . This can help show longer-term directional volume bias.
Table: Spot vs. Perpetual Comparison
There is a toggle ("Show Spot vs Perpetual Table") that displays an on-chart table comparing volumes:
Buy Volume and Sell Volume for each aggregated category (Spot, Perp, and their sum).
Delta (the difference between Buy and Sell).
Percentage breakdowns of buy vs. sell portions.
This table only appears on the most recent bar and helps users quickly assess how Spot and Perpetual volumes compare, plus the overall total.
PVSRA Color Coding
A "PVSRA-style" color approach classifies each bar based on volume and candle range:
Climax Up (lime) or Climax Down (red) occurs if volume is extremely high relative to a simple moving average of volume and range.
Above-Average Up (blue) or Down (fuchsia) occurs if volume is moderately higher than average.
Otherwise, colors fall back to neutral up/down colors.
This allows you to spot potentially high-volume "climax" bars vs. bars with only moderate or typical volume levels.
Fractals and Divergences
The script detects certain fractal points on the aggregated volumes (sum of buy or sell volumes). It looks for a 5-bar pattern (with the current bar in the middle for top or bottom fractals).
When a fractal is confirmed on buy volume, the script checks if new higher price highs coincide with lower buy-volume peaks (or vice versa) to highlight regular or hidden divergences.
Similar logic is applied on the sell-volume side if new lower price lows occur alongside higher sell-volume troughs (or the opposite).
If enabled in the settings, lines and labels may appear on the chart to mark these divergence points.
"Delta Dot" Events
This script draws small circles above or below bars when the total delta changes magnitude relative to the previous bar by certain user-defined multipliers. It segregates "tiny," "small," "large," and "extra" expansions in bullish or bearish delta.
Bullish Dots : Appear above the bar when the new positive delta is multiple times bigger than the previous positive delta.
Bearish Dots : Appear below the bar in a similar fashion for negative delta.
These dots emphasize large or sudden shifts in buy/sell pressure from one bar to the next.
Delta MA and its Direction
A moving average is calculated on the total delta and optionally multiplied by a factor (in the code, by 4) to make it visually prominent. The user can pick from SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA as the smoothing technique.
Delta MA Direction : The script compares the current delta MA to a short SMA of itself to define whether it is rising or falling.
A color is assigned—blue if rising, orange if falling, gray if they're roughly equal.
This helps quickly visualize longer-term momentum in the net delta metric.
Divergences on the Delta MA
After computing the "Delta MA" line, the script detects pivot highs or lows on that line. If the price makes a new high but the Delta MA pivot is lower (and vice versa), it draws lines and small labels indicating potential divergence.
Bearish Divergence : Price makes a higher high, while the Delta MA pivot forms a lower high.
Bullish Divergence : Price makes a lower low, while the Delta MA pivot forms a higher low.
RSI + MFI Computation
The script also calculates a simplified form of RSI+MFI by comparing (close – open) / (high – low) * a multiplier , then smoothing it with a simple average. This is purely for an optional observational measure to see if the price action is leaning bullish or bearish in terms of these combined indicators.
EMA Overlay and Diamond Shapes
There are two standard EMAs (13 and 21). The script checks whether price is above or below these EMAs, in addition to other conditions (like changes in delta, volume, or RSI+MFI direction) to draw diamond shapes at the top or bottom of the chart:
Green Diamonds near the bottom if the conditions line up to suggest that the environment is more favorable for bullish pressure.
Red Diamonds near the top if the environment suggests more bearish pressure.
These diamonds come in two sizes:
Normal – More pronounced, typically plotted if RSI+MFI result is above/below zero.
Small – Plotted if RSI+MFI is on the other side of that threshold.
An optional "Hardcore Mode" adds special tiny diamonds under specific delta color/condition mismatches.
How to Interpret the Chart Elements
Line Plots of Buy and Sell Volumes : A positive line for buy volume, a negative line for sell volume, and a zero-line for reference. This provides at-a-glance perspective on how buy or sell volumes add up per bar.
Histogram "Total Delta" : A color-coded bar that quickly shows whether overall buy vs. sell volume is dominant. The color is governed by the PVSRA logic (e.g., potential climax or above-average conditions).
Volume Table (when enabled): Summarizes volumes in numeric and percentage form for Spot, Perp, and total categories on the last bar.
Delta Dots : Small circles highlighting abrupt changes in delta magnitude. Larger multiples indicate bigger jumps compared to the previous bar.
Fractals & Divergence Lines : Connect pivot points in buy/sell volume or in the Delta MA line with price highs/lows to indicate potential divergences.
Delta MA Plot : Smooth curve (scaled up x4) to reflect longer-term accumulation or distribution in the delta. Colored by whether the MA is above or below a short average of itself.
Diamonds : Appear when certain volume, price, RSI+MFI, and delta conditions converge. Green diamonds near the bottom typically coincide with bullish conditions, red diamonds near the top with bearish conditions.
Practical Usage Notes
Use the Spot vs. Perp breakdown to see if these two market segments differ significantly in their contributions to total volume. This can be informative when a certain type of market (futures vs. spot) might be "driving" price action.
The PVSRA color scheme highlights "climax" or "above-average" volume bars, which can sometimes appear around major reversals or breakouts.
Observing divergences in aggregated buy/sell volume (or in the Delta MA line) can provide additional context on whether certain price moves are backed by strong volume involvement.
The script's fractal divergences rely on short pivot detection. Signals will appear only after enough bars have passed for confirmation, so these are effectively "after-the-fact" notations to illustrate possible volume/price divergences.
The diamonds do not necessarily instruct any buy/sell action; rather, they mark conditions where multiple volume and momentum criteria line up in one direction.
Important Considerations
This script displays aggregated volumes from potentially multiple exchanges. Each exchange or pair might have different time zones, liquidity, or data availability, which can occasionally result in incomplete or zero values.
All references to "buy" or "sell" volume are approximate breakdowns based on candle structure. They are not absolute measures of real-time order flow.
Divergences and fractal points are provided strictly for analytical insight. They can repaint or shift if the fractal conditions were not fully confirmed in real time.
The color-coded lines, histograms, diamonds, and tables are strictly to guide analysis of volume fluctuations and do not claim to predict future price performance.
If you enable "Hardcore Mode," you will see additional diamond markers. This mode is mainly intended as an extra highlight of certain "contradictory" delta conditions.
Summary
The "ZenAlgo - Detector" script brings together a variety of volume-based analyses:
Aggregated volumes from multiple exchanges
A breakdown into Spot vs. Perpetual activity
Delta calculations, fractal divergences, and a specialized Delta Moving Average
Color-coded bars reflecting possible PVSRA concepts
A table to highlight numeric differences and percentages
Additional overlays (e.g., diamonds, RSI+MFI synergy, etc.)
In contrast to many free, single-exchange indicators, this script centralizes multiple exchange volumes in one place, making it easier to observe and compare volume flows across different market types (spot vs. perpetual). Users no longer need to rely on scattered tools or separate overlays to check volume divergences, fractals, or specialized MA calculations—everything is unified here. By carefully monitoring the table, Delta histogram, color-coded bars, divergence lines, and diamond markers, traders can more comprehensively evaluate how volume and price interact. Each plot is designed to showcase different aspects of volume flow—such as whether spot or derivatives markets dominate, if volume is skewed toward buying or selling, and if there are divergences between volume momentum and price movement.
All computations are displayed to help you carry out a more informed market analysis. It is strongly advised to combine these observations with other risk management or analytical methods, rather than relying on any single indicator alone.
Killzones & Previous High-Low Liquidity [odnac]This indicator is designed for use in intraday trading to visualize key "Killzones" (specific time windows during different global market sessions) and highlight liquidity levels based on previous highs and lows from the previous day and week.
It helps traders identify potential market entry and exit points based on time-based trading zones and price action levels.
Key Features:
Killzone (Market Session Timeframes):
Asia (2000-0000 UTC): Displays a shaded box over the Asia trading session.
Europe (0200-0500 UTC): Highlights the European trading session.
New York AM (0830-1100 UTC): Represents the morning session of the NY market.
New York PM (1330-1600 UTC): Represents the afternoon session of the NY market.
Each of these timeframes can be customized in terms of session start and end times, and the shaded areas will help identify high liquidity periods when the market tends to be more active.
Previous High-Low Liquidity Zones:
Previous Week's High/Low: Displays lines at the high and low of the previous week.
These are important liquidity levels that can influence price action.
Previous Day's High/Low: Shows the high and low from the previous trading day.
These are also significant levels to watch for potential support and resistance.
Filters and Customization:
Position Filtering: The indicator allows users to filter out previous highs or lows if the current price doesn't align with those levels.
For example, it can filter out previous week highs if the current price is lower than that level.
Vertical Lines: Optional vertical lines to highlight key time points such as the start and end of the previous week and day.
How It Works:
The indicator visually draws "killzones" as shaded regions on the chart, indicating periods of increased market activity.
This can help traders align their strategies with the most liquid periods of the day.
The previous high and low lines (both for the previous week and the previous day) are drawn as solid lines and can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Labels are added to indicate the specific levels and periods.
The indicator provides clear visual cues, helping traders assess if the price is near important liquidity levels and whether the current market conditions align with those levels.
Customizable Settings:
You can control whether each Killzone and liquidity level is shown on the chart.
Color customization for the various zones and lines is also available.
The indicator also lets you decide whether to hide weekend data, set time-frame limits, and choose whether or not to show vertical lines at the beginning and end of each trading session.
This indicator is aimed at traders who want to trade based on high-liquidity periods and understand where key support and resistance levels are likely to emerge based on previous price action.
Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSIUptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI
Introduction
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI is a momentum-based indicator that integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA). By applying FRAMA's adaptive smoothing to RSI—and further refining it with a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)—this script creates a refined and reliable momentum oscillator. The indicator now includes enhanced divergence detection, potential reversal signals, customizable buy/sell signal options, an internal stats table, and a fully customizable bar coloring system for an enhanced visual trading experience.
Why Combine RSI with FRAMA
Traditional RSI is a well-known momentum indicator but has several limitations. It is highly sensitive to price fluctuations, often generating false signals in choppy or volatile markets. FRAMA, in contrast, adapts dynamically to price changes by adjusting its smoothing factor based on market conditions.
By integrating FRAMA into RSI calculations, this indicator reduces noise while preserving RSI's ability to track momentum, adapts to volatility by reducing lag in trending markets and smoothing out choppiness in ranging conditions, enhances trend-following capability for more reliable momentum shifts, and refines overbought and oversold signals by adjusting to the current market structure.
With the new enhancements, such as a manual alpha input, noise filtering, divergence detection, and multiple buy/sell signal options, the indicator offers even greater flexibility and precision for traders. This combination improves the standard RSI by making it more adaptive and responsive to market changes.
Originality
This indicator is unique because it applies FRAMA's adaptive smoothing technique to RSI, creating a dynamic momentum oscillator that adjusts to different market conditions. Many traditional RSI-based indicators either use fixed smoothing methods like exponential moving averages or employ basic RSI calculations without adjusting for volatility.
This script stands out by integrating several elements, including the fractal dimension-based smoothing of FRAMA to reduce noise while retaining responsiveness, the use of Zero-Lag Moving Average smoothing to enhance trend sensitivity and reduce lag, divergence detection to highlight mismatches between price action and RSI momentum, a noise filter and manual alpha option to prevent minor fluctuations from generating false signals, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between ZLMA-based or FRAMA RSI-based signals, an internal stats table displaying real-time FRAMA calculations such as fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha factor, and a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
Features
Adaptive FRAMA RSI
The indicator applies FRAMA to RSI values, making the momentum oscillator adaptive to volatility while filtering out noise. Unlike a traditional RSI that reacts equally to all price movements, FRAMA RSI adjusts its smoothing factor based on market structure, making it more effective for identifying true momentum shifts.
Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)
A smoothing technique that minimizes lag while preserving the responsiveness of price movements. It is applied to the FRAMA RSI to further refine signals and ensure smoother trend detection.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crossovers
This system compares FRAMA RSI to a user-defined threshold (default is 50). When FRAMA RSI moves above the threshold, it indicates bullish momentum, while movement below signals bearish conditions. The enhanced noise filter ensures that only significant moves trigger signals.
Noise Filter and Manual Alpha
A new noise filter input prevents tiny fluctuations from triggering false signals. In addition, a manual alpha option allows traders to override the automatically computed smoothing factor with a custom value, providing extra control over the indicator’s sensitivity.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergence patterns by comparing FRAMA RSI pivots to price action. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while FRAMA RSI makes a higher low, and bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while FRAMA RSI makes a lower high. These signals can help traders anticipate potential reversals.
Reversal Signals
Labels appear on the chart when FRAMA RSI confirms classic RSI overbought (70) or oversold (30) conditions, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can now choose between two signal-generation methods. ZLMA-based signals trigger when the ZLMA of FRAMA RSI crosses key overbought (70) or oversold (30) levels, while FRAMA RSI-based signals trigger when FRAMA RSI itself crosses these levels. This added flexibility allows users to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style.
ZLMA:
FRAMA:
Customizable Alerts
Alerts notify traders when FRAMA RSI crosses key levels, divergence signals occur, reversal conditions are met, or buy/sell signals trigger. This ensures that important trading events are not missed.
Fully Customizable Bar Coloring System
Users can color bars based on different conditions, enhancing visual clarity. Bar coloring modes include: FRAMA RSI threshold (bars change color based on whether FRAMA RSI is above or below the threshold), ZLMA crossover (bars change when ZLMA crosses overbought or oversold levels), buy/sell signals (bars change when official signals trigger), divergence (bars highlight when bullish or bearish divergence is detected), and reversals (bars indicate when RSI reaches overbought or oversold conditions confirmed by FRAMA RSI). The system also remembers the last applied bar color, ensuring a smooth visual transition.
Input Parameters and Features
Core Inputs
RSI Length (default: 14) defines the period for RSI calculations.
FRAMA Lookback (default: 16) determines the length for the FRAMA smoothing function.
RSI Bull Threshold (default: 50) sets the level above which the market is considered bullish and below which it is bearish.
Noise Filter (default: 1.0) ensures that small fluctuations do not trigger false bullish or bearish signals.
Additional Features
Show Bull and Bear Alerts (default: true) enables notifications when FRAMA RSI crosses the threshold.
Enable Divergence Detection (default: false) highlights bullish and bearish divergences based on price and FRAMA RSI pivots.
Show Potential Reversal Signals (default: false) identifies overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels as possible trend reversal points.
Buy and Sell Signal Option (default: ZLMA) allows traders to choose between ZLMA-based signals or FRAMA RSI-based signals for trade entry.
ZLMA Enhancements
ZLMA Length (default: 14) determines the period for the Zero-Lag Moving Average applied to FRAMA RSI.
Visualization Options
Show Internal Stats Table (default: false) displays real-time FRAMA calculations, including fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha smoothing factor.
Show Threshold FRAMA Signals (default: false) plots buy and sell labels when FRAMA RSI crosses the threshold level.
How It Works
FRAMA Calculation
FRAMA dynamically adjusts smoothing based on the price fractal dimension. The alpha smoothing factor is derived from the fractal dimension or can be set manually to maintain responsiveness.
RSI with FRAMA Smoothing
RSI is calculated using the user-defined lookback period. FRAMA is then applied to the RSI to make it more adaptive to volatility. Optionally, ZLMA is applied to further refine the signals and reduce lag.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crosses
A bullish condition occurs when FRAMA RSI crosses above the threshold, while a bearish condition occurs when it falls below. The noise filter ensures that only significant trend shifts generate signals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can choose between ZLMA crossovers or FRAMA RSI crossovers as the basis for buy and sell signals, offering flexibility in trade entry timing.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergences where price action and FRAMA RSI momentum do not align, potentially signaling upcoming reversals.
Reversal Signal Labels
When classic RSI overbought or oversold levels are confirmed by FRAMA RSI conditions, reversal labels are added on the chart to highlight potential exhaustion points.
Bar Coloring System
Bars are dynamically colored based on various conditions such as RSI thresholds, ZLMA crossovers, buy/sell signals, divergence, and reversals, allowing traders to quickly interpret market sentiment.
Alerts and Internal Stats
Customizable alerts notify traders of key events, and an optional internal stats table displays real-time calculations (fractal dimension, alpha value, and RSI values) to help users understand the underlying dynamics of the indicator.
Summary
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI offers an enhanced approach to momentum analysis by combining RSI with adaptive FRAMA smoothing and additional layers of signal refinement. The indicator now includes adaptive RSI smoothing to reduce noise and improve responsiveness, Zero-Lag Moving Average filtering to minimize lag, divergence and reversal detection to identify potential turning points, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between different signal methodologies, a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish market conditions, and an internal stats table for real-time insight into FRAMA calculation parameters.
Whether used for trend confirmation, divergence detection, or momentum-based strategies, this indicator provides a powerful and adaptive approach to trading.

Impulse: Identifies critical price levels where significant market conditions occur. These Impulse levels serve as the foundation for calculating Balance and Apex levels.
Balance: Derived from Impulse levels, Balance zones mark areas of equilibrium where price tends to stabilize. These zones often act as key support or resistance areas.
Apex: The Apex is calculated as a pivotal level where price momentum within the Impulse reaches a peak, highlighting potential reversal or reaction points.
The indicator dynamically updates these levels in real-time as price evolves, ensuring that traders always have the most relevant data on their charts.
Key Features:
Automatically detects Impulse, Balance, and Apex levels for structured market analysis.
Continuously recalculates levels in real-time as price action evolves.
Offers customizable parameters for sensitivity and detection range.
Works seamlessly across all timeframes and market types.
Provides clear visual labels for effortless interpretation.
Use Cases:
Spot potential reversal zones or price reaction points using Apex levels.
Identify key price stabilizations with Balance zones for support and resistance analysis.
Monitor Impulse levels for insights into significant market conditions and momentum.
Suitable for various instruments, including Forex, crypto, stocks, and indices.
Accurate Bollinger Bands mcbw_ [True Volatility Distribution]The Bollinger Bands have become a very important technical tool for discretionary and algorithmic traders alike over the last decades. It was designed to give traders an edge on the markets by setting probabilistic values to different levels of volatility. However, some of the assumptions that go into its calculations make it unusable for traders who want to get a correct understanding of the volatility that the bands are trying to be used for. Let's go through what the Bollinger Bands are said to show, how their calculations work, the problems in the calculations, and how the current indicator I am presenting today fixes these.
--> If you just want to know how the settings work then skip straight to the end or click on the little (i) symbol next to the values in the indicator settings window when its on your chart <--
--------------------------- What Are Bollinger Bands ---------------------------
The Bollinger Bands were formed in the 1980's, a time when many retail traders interacted with their symbols via physically printed charts and computer memory for personal computer memory was measured in Kb (about a factor of 1 million smaller than today). Bollinger Bands are designed to help a trader or algorithm see the likelihood of price expanding outside of its typical range, the further the lines are from the current price implies the less often they will get hit. With a hands on understanding many strategies use these levels for designated levels of breakout trades or to assist in defining price ranges.
--------------------------- How Bollinger Bands Work ---------------------------
The calculations that go into Bollinger Bands are rather simple. There is a moving average that centers the indicator and an equidistant top band and bottom band are drawn at a fixed width away. The moving average is just a typical moving average (or common variant) that tracks the price action, while the distance to the top and bottom bands is a direct function of recent price volatility. The way that the distance to the bands is calculated is inspired by formulas from statistics. The standard deviation is taken from the candles that go into the moving average and then this is multiplied by a user defined value to set the bands position, I will call this value 'the multiple'. When discussing Bollinger Bands, that trading community at large normally discusses 'the multiple' as a multiplier of the standard deviation as it applies to a normal distribution (gaußian probability). On a normal distribution the number of standard deviations away (which trades directly use as 'the multiple') you are directly corresponds to how likely/unlikely something is to happen:
1 standard deviation equals 68.3%, meaning that the price should stay inside the 1 standard deviation 68.3% of the time and be outside of it 31.7% of the time;
2 standard deviation equals 95.5%, meaning that the price should stay inside the 2 standard deviation 95.5% of the time and be outside of it 4.5% of the time;
3 standard deviation equals 99.7%, meaning that the price should stay inside the 3 standard deviation 99.7% of the time and be outside of it 0.3% of the time.
Therefore when traders set 'the multiple' to 2, they interpret this as meaning that price will not reach there 95.5% of the time.
---------------- The Problem With The Math of Bollinger Bands ----------------
In and of themselves the Bollinger Bands are a great tool, but they have become misconstrued with some incorrect sense of statistical meaning, when they should really just be taken at face value without any further interpretation or implication.
In order to explain this it is going to get a bit technical so I will give a little math background and try to simplify things. First let's review some statistics topics (distributions, percentiles, standard deviations) and then with that understanding explore the incorrect logic of how Bollinger Bands have been interpreted/employed.
---------------- Quick Stats Review ----------------
.
(If you are comfortable with statistics feel free to skip ahead to the next section)
.
-------- I: Probability distributions --------
When you have a lot of data it is helpful to see how many times different results appear in your dataset. To visualize this people use "histograms", which just shows how many times each element appears in the dataset by stacking each of the same elements on top of each other to form a graph. You may be familiar with the bell curve (also called the "normal distribution", which we will be calling it by). The normal distribution histogram looks like a big hump around zero and then drops off super quickly the further you get from it. This shape (the bell curve) is very nice because it has a lot of very nifty mathematical properties and seems to show up in nature all the time. Since it pops up in so many places, society has developed many different shortcuts related to it that speed up all kinds of calculations, including the shortcut that 1 standard deviation = 68.3%, 2 standard deviations = 95.5%, and 3 standard deviations = 99.7% (these only apply to the normal distribution). Despite how handy the normal distribution is and all the shortcuts we have for it are, and how much it shows up in the natural world, there is nothing that forces your specific dataset to look like it. In fact, your data can actually have any possible shape. As we will explore later, economic and financial datasets *rarely* follow the normal distribution.
-------- II: Percentiles --------
After you have made the histogram of your dataset you have built the "probability distribution" of your own dataset that is specific to all the data you have collected. There is a whole complicated framework for how to accurately calculate percentiles but we will dramatically simplify it for our use. The 'percentile' in our case is just the number of data points we are away from the "middle" of the data set (normally just 0). Lets say I took the difference of the daily close of a symbol for the last two weeks, green candles would be positive and red would be negative. In this example my dataset of day by day closing price difference is:
week 1:
week 2:
sorting all of these value into a single dataset I have:
I can separate the positive and negative returns and explore their distributions separately:
negative return distribution =
positive return distribution =
Taking the 25th% percentile of these would just be taking the value that is 25% towards the end of the end of these returns. Or akin the 100%th percentile would just be taking the vale that is 100% at the end of those:
negative return distribution (50%) = -5
positive return distribution (50%) = +4
negative return distribution (100%) = -10
positive return distribution (100%) = +20
Or instead of separating the positive and negative returns we can also look at all of the differences in the daily close as just pure price movement and not account for the direction, in this case we would pool all of the data together by ignoring the negative signs of the negative reruns
combined return distribution =
In this case the 50%th and 100%th percentile of the combined return distribution would be:
combined return distribution (50%) = 4
combined return distribution (100%) = 10
Sometimes taking the positive and negative distributions separately is better than pooling them into a combined distribution for some purposes. Other times the combined distribution is better.
Most financial data has very different distributions for negative returns and positive returns. This is encapsulated in sayings like "Price takes the stairs up and the elevator down".
-------- III: Standard Deviation --------
The formula for the standard deviation (refereed to here by its shorthand 'STDEV') can be intimidating, but going through each of its elements will illuminate what it does. The formula for STDEV is equal to:
square root ( (sum ) / N )
Going back the the dataset that you might have, the variables in the formula above are:
'mean' is the average of your entire dataset
'x' is just representative of a single point in your dataset (one point at a time)
'N' is the total number of things in your dataset.
Going back to the STDEV formula above we can see how each part of it works. Starting with the '(x - mean)' part. What this does is it takes every single point of the dataset and measure how far away it is from the mean of the entire dataset. Taking this value to the power of two: '(x - mean) ^ 2', means that points that are very far away from the dataset mean get 'penalized' twice as much. Points that are very close to the dataset mean are not impacted as much. In practice, this would mean that if your dataset had a bunch of values that were in a wide range but always stayed in that range, this value ('(x - mean) ^ 2') would end up being small. On the other hand, if your dataset was full of the exact same number, but had a couple outliers very far away, this would have a much larger value since the square par of '(x - mean) ^ 2' make them grow massive. Now including the sum part of 'sum ', this just adds up all the of the squared distanced from the dataset mean. Then this is divided by the number of values in the dataset ('N'), and then the square root of that value is taken.
There is nothing inherently special or definitive about the STDEV formula, it is just a tool with extremely widespread use and adoption. As we saw here, all the STDEV formula is really doing is measuring the intensity of the outliers.
--------------------------- Flaws of Bollinger Bands ---------------------------
The largest problem with Bollinger Bands is the assumption that price has a normal distribution. This is assumption is massively incorrect for many reasons that I will try to encapsulate into two points:
Price return do not follow a normal distribution, every single symbol on every single timeframe has is own unique distribution that is specific to only itself. Therefore all the tools, shortcuts, and ideas that we use for normal distributions do not apply to price returns, and since they do not apply here they should not be used. A more general approach is needed that allows each specific symbol on every specific timeframe to be treated uniquely.
The distributions of price returns on the positive and negative side are almost never the same. A more general approach is needed that allows positive and negative returns to be calculated separately.
In addition to the issues of the normal distribution assumption, the standard deviation formula (as shown above in the quick stats review) is essentially just a tame measurement of outliers (a more aggressive form of outlier measurement might be taking the differences to the power of 3 rather than 2). Despite this being a bit of a philosophical question, does the measurement of outlier intensity as defined by the STDEV formula really measure what we want to know as traders when we're experiencing volatility? Or would adjustments to that formula better reflect what we *experience* as volatility when we are actively trading? This is an open ended question that I will leave here, but I wanted to pose this question because it is a key part of what how the Bollinger Bands work that we all assume as a given.
Circling back on the normal distribution assumption, the standard deviation formula used in the calculation of the bands only encompasses the deviation of the candles that go into the moving average and have no knowledge of the historical price action. Therefore the level of the bands may not really reflect how the price action behaves over a longer period of time.
------------ Delivering Factually Accurate Data That Traders Need------------
In light of the problems identified above, this indicator fixes all of these issue and delivers statistically correct information that discretionary and algorithmic traders can use, with truly accurate probabilities. It takes the price action of the last 2,000 candles and builds a huge dataset of distributions that you can directly select your percentiles from. It also allows you to have the positive and negative distributions calculated separately, or if you would like, you can pool all of them together in a combined distribution. In addition to this, there is a wide selection of moving averages directly available in the indicator to choose from.
Hedge funds, quant shops, algo prop firms, and advanced mechanical groups all employ the true return distributions in their work. Now you have access to the same type of data with this indicator, wherein it's doing all the lifting for you.
------------------------------ Indicator Settings ------------------------------
.
---- Moving average ----
Select the type of moving average you would like and its length
---- Bands ----
The percentiles that you enter here will be pulled directly from the return distribution of the last 2,000 candles. With the typical Bollinger Bands, traders would select 2 standard deviations and incorrectly think that the levels it highlights are the 95.5% levels. Now, if you want the true 95.5% level, you can just enter 95.5 into the percentile value here. Each of the three available bands takes the true percentile you enter here.
---- Separate Positive & Negative Distributions----
If this box is checked the positive and negative distributions are treated indecently, completely separate from each other. You will see that the width of the top and bottom bands will be different for each of the percentiles you enter.
If this box is unchecked then all the negative and positive distributions are pooled together. You will notice that the width of the top and bottom bands will be the exact same.
---- Distribution Size ----
This is the number of candles that the price return is calculated over. EG: to collect the price return over the last 33 candles, the difference of price from now to 33 candles ago is calculated for the last 2,000 candles, to build a return distribution of 2000 points of price differences over 33 candles.
NEGATIVE NUMBERS(<0) == exact number of candles to include;
EG: setting this value to -20 will always collect volatility distributions of 20 candles
POSITIVE NUMBERS(>0) == number of candles to include as a multiple of the Moving Average Length value set above;
EG: if the Moving Average Length value is set to 22, setting this value to 2 will use the last 22*2 = 44 candles for the collection of volatility distributions
MORE candles being include will generally make the bands WIDER and their size will change SLOWER over time.
I wish you focus, dedication, and earnest success on your journey.
Happy trading :)

CandelaCharts - OHLC Macro Range Map 📝 Overview
Elevate your candlestick analysis with the OHLC Macro Range Map!
Unlike conventional OHLC charts, this advanced indicator weaves Inner Circle Trader (ICT) principles into its design, helping you decode accumulation, manipulation, and distribution patterns—candle by candle.
ICT traders recognize manipulation through wicks that extend against the candle’s closing direction—a deliberate move to mislead participants into unfavorable positions. These deceptive movements often hint at market manipulation phases. By decoding these subtle signals, traders can anticipate the distribution phase of a candle, where price action reveals potential liquidity targets, retracement zones, and key reversal points.
These levels offer valuable insights into order flow, revealing how price interacts with them and the sequence of movements within the market.
To enhance price analysis, the tool also monitors the average duration of manipulation and distribution phases. By blending historical timing patterns with key price levels associated with these phases, traders can conduct deeper analyses and fine-tune their strategies for better decision-making.
Although grounded in historical data, this indicator does not promise that past patterns will replicate in future market conditions. Instead, it provides a data-driven framework to identify moments when candles are likely to reverse after manipulation phases or retrace following completed distributions. This empowers traders to pinpoint potential market turning points with greater accuracy.

Trend Detection with AlertsPurpose of the Script
The script identifies trends on a chart (uptrend, downtrend, or sideways trend) and provides both visual cues and alerts when a trend changes. It uses two methods for trend detection:
Moving Averages (MA): It compares a short-term moving average (fast) with a long-term moving average (slow).
An uptrend occurs when the short-term MA is above the long-term MA.
A downtrend occurs when the short-term MA is below the long-term MA.
Price Action:
Higher highs (HH) indicate bullish momentum.
Lower lows (LL) indicate bearish momentum.
When these methods align, the script determines the trend and notifies the user of any trend changes.
Key Features
Moving Average Calculation:
A short-term moving average and a long-term moving average are calculated to determine the overall trend direction.
Trend Determination:
An uptrend is detected when the short-term MA is above the long-term MA and higher highs are present.
A downtrend is detected when the short-term MA is below the long-term MA and lower lows are present.
Otherwise, the trend is classified as sideways.
Alerts for Trend Changes:
Alerts are triggered when the trend changes from one state to another (e.g., sideways to uptrend).
Custom messages indicate the type of trend detected.
Background Colors:
The script changes the chart’s background color based on the current trend:
Green for uptrends.
Red for downtrends.
Gray for sideways trends.
Visualization of Moving Averages:
The moving averages are plotted on the chart for visual reference.
How It Works
Inputs for Flexibility:
The user can configure the lengths of the short-term and long-term moving averages.
A lookback period is used to determine higher highs or lower lows for additional confirmation.
Trend Logic:
The script checks the relationship between the moving averages to identify general trends.
It also evaluates price action to confirm trend strength (e.g., whether a higher high or lower low occurred).
Alert System:
When the detected trend changes (e.g., from sideways to uptrend), an alert is triggered. This ensures the user is notified of important market movements.
Dynamic Background Coloring:
The background color of the chart changes to reflect the current trend, making it easy to interpret the trend visually.
Use Cases
Trend Identification: Helps traders quickly identify market trends for decision-making.
Alerts for Trend Changes: Notifies traders when a new trend begins, ensuring they don’t miss key opportunities.
Visual Assistance: Makes it easier to interpret trends through color-coded backgrounds and moving average overlays.
Customization Options
Adjust Moving Average Lengths: Users can modify the short-term and long-term moving averages to suit their trading strategies.
Change Lookback Period: The sensitivity of higher highs and lower lows can be adjusted.
Personalized Alerts: Alerts can be customized for different trading scenarios.
Summary
This script provides an intuitive way to detect and visualize market trends while offering real-time alerts for trend changes. It’s an excellent tool for traders who want to stay informed about market conditions and make data-driven decisions.
