Everyday 0002 _ MAC 1st Trading Hour WalkoverThis is the second strategy for my Everyday project.
Like I wrote the last time - my goal is to create a new strategy everyday
for the rest of 2016 and post it here on TradingView.
I'm a complete beginner so this is my way of learning about coding strategies.
I'll give myself between 15 minutes and 2 hours to complete each creation.
This is basically a repetition of the first strategy I wrote - a Moving Average Crossover,
but I added a tiny thing.
I read that "Statistics have proven that the daily high or low is established within the first hour of trading on more than 70% of the time."
(source: )
My first Moving Average Crossover strategy, tested on VOLVB daily, got stoped out by the volatility
and because of this missed one nice bull run and a very nice bear run.
So I added this single line: if time("60", "1000-1600") regarding when to take exits:
if time("60", "1000-1600")
strategy.exit("Close Long", "Long", profit=2000, loss=500)
strategy.exit("Close Short", "Short", profit=2000, loss=500)
Sweden is UTC+2 so I guess UTC 1000 equals 12.00 in Stockholm. Not sure if this is correct, actually.
Anyway, I hope this means the strategy will only take exits based on price action which occur in the afternoon, when there is a higher probability of a lower volatility.
When I ran the new modified strategy on the same VOLVB daily it didn't get stoped out so easily.
On the other hand I'll have to test this on various stocks .
Reading and learning about how to properly test strategies is on my todo list - all tips on youtube videos or blogs
to read on this topic is very welcome!
Like I said the last time, I'm posting these strategies hoping to learn from the community - so any feedback, advice, or corrections is very much welcome and appreciated!

Choppiness Index | CipherDecodedThe Choppiness Index is a multi-timeframe regime indicator that measures whether price action is trending or consolidating.
This recreation was inspired by the Choppiness Index chart from Checkonchain, with full credit to their team for the idea.
🔹 How It Works
CI = 100 * log10( SUM(ATR(1), n) / (highest(high, n) – lowest(low, n)) ) / log10(n)
Where:
n – lookback length (e.g. 14 days / 10 weeks / 10 months)
ATR(1) – true-range of each bar
SUM(ATR(1), n) – total true-range over n bars
highest(high, n) and lowest(low, n) – price range over n bars
Low values → strong trend
High values → sideways consolidation
Below is a simplified function used in the script for computing CI on any timeframe:
f_ci(_n) =>
_tr = ta.tr(true)
_sum = math.sum(_tr, _n)
_hh = ta.highest(high, _n)
_ll = ta.lowest(low, _n)
_rng = _hh - _ll
_rng > 0 ? 100 * math.log10(_sum / _rng) / math.log10(_n) : na
Consolidation Threshold — 50.0
Trend Threshold — 38.2
When Weekly CI < Trend Threshold, a trending zone (yellow) appears.
When Weekly CI > Consolidation Threshold, a consolidation zone (purple) appears.
Users can toggle either background independently.
🔹 Example Background Logic
bgcolor(isTrend and Trend ? color.new(#f3e459, 50) : na, title = "Trending", force_overlay = true)
bgcolor(isConsol and Cons ? color.new(#974aa5, 50) : na, title = "Consolidation", force_overlay = true)
🔹 Usage Tips
Observe the Weekly CI for regime context.
Combine with price structure or trend filters for signal confirmation.
Low CI values (< 38) indicate strong trend activity — the market may soon consolidate to reset.
High CI values (> 60) reflect sideways or range-bound conditions — the market is recharging before a potential new trend.

Relative Vigor Index with Divergence and SMA FilterThis script implements the Relative Vigor Index (RVI), originally developed by John Ehlers, enhanced with three practical analytical layers:
1. Configurable SMA filter applied to the RVI line (default: 14 periods) to smooth noise and clarify the underlying momentum trend.
2. Automated divergence detection between price action and the RVI oscillator, identifying both:
- Regular divergences ("R"): potential reversal signals (e.g., price makes a lower low while RVI makes a higher low).
- Hidden divergences ("H"): potential continuation signals (e.g., price makes a higher low while RVI makes a lower low).
3.Visual aids: labeled markers ("R"/"H") and connecting lines to make divergence patterns immediately recognizable.
Unlike basic RVI implementations, this version is designed to highlight momentum-price decoupling—a core concept in technical analysis—using robust pivot detection (`ta.pivotlow`/`ta.pivothigh`) with user-defined lookback and search ranges (default: 5–60 bars). The SMA filter helps traders distinguish between genuine momentum shifts and short-term volatility.
How it works:
- The RVI is calculated as the ratio of smoothed (close – open) to smoothed (high – low), reflecting the idea that in uptrends, closes tend to occur near highs, and in downtrends, near lows.
- Divergences are confirmed only when both a valid price pivot and a corresponding RVI pivot occur within the specified bar range.
- Hidden bearish divergences are disabled by default to reduce noise on shorter timeframes.
Suggested use:
- Use regular bullish divergences near negative RVI extremes as potential long setups.
- Watch for regular bearish divergences at positive RVI peaks as early reversal warnings.
- Combine with support/resistance or trend structure for higher-confidence entries.
This script is not a simple mashup: the integration of divergence logic with the RVI’s unique behavior, configurable sensitivity, and clean visualization provides a cohesive analytical tool that goes beyond standard implementations.

RVI with SMA Smoothing and Divergence SignalsThis script enhances the Relative Volatility Index (RVI)—originally introduced by Donald Dorsey in 1993—by integrating three complementary analytical features:
1. SMA-based smoothing of the RVI line to reduce noise and clarify the underlying volatility momentum trend.
2. Automated detection of regular and hidden divergences between price action (highs/lows) and RVI pivots, using robust `ta.pivotlow` and `ta.pivothigh` logic with configurable lookback and search ranges.
3. Visual labels ("R" for regular, "H" for hidden) and color-coded pivot markers to help traders quickly identify potential reversal or continuation zones.
Unlike basic RVI implementations, this version is designed to highlight momentum-price decoupling, a key concept in technical analysis. The divergence engine is synchronized with RVI’s unique 0–100 scale and volatility-based calculation, ensuring signals are contextually relevant—not generic overlays.
How it works:
- RVI is computed using standard deviation of directional price changes, normalized to 0–100.
- A user-defined SMA (default: 14 periods) smooths the RVI for trend clarity.
- Divergences are confirmed only when both a valid price pivot and a corresponding RVI pivot occur within a configurable bar range (default: 5–60 bars).
- Hidden bearish divergences are disabled by default to reduce noise on short-term charts.
Suggested use:
- Regular bullish divergences near the 20 (oversold) level may signal exhaustion of a downtrend.
- Regular bearish divergences above 80 (overbought) can warn of upward momentum loss.
- Combine with price structure (support/resistance) for higher-probability setups.
This script is **not a simple mashup**: the integration of divergence logic with RVI’s volatility-based nature, parameterized sensitivity controls, and clean visualization provides a cohesive analytical tool not found in standard indicators.

// 2. Reversal boxes (red above, green below) show zones where price is most likely to reverse.
// 3. Inner strike zones (darker shading) guide optimal short-strike placement.
// 4. Dashboard confirms whether mean-reversion or trend-day conditions are active.
// Customize colors and visibility in the settings panel. Enjoy disciplined, confluence-based trade entries!
RSI Divergence Strategy v6 What this does
Detects regular and hidden divergences between price and RSI using confirmed RSI pivots. Adds RSI@pivot entry gates, a normalized strength + volume filter, optional volume gate, delayed entries, and transparent risk management with rigid SL and activatable trailing. Visuals are throttled for clarity and include a gap-free horizontal RSI gradient.
How it works (simple)
🧮 RSI is calculated on your selected source/period.
📌 RSI pivots are confirmed with left/right lookbacks (lbL/lbR). A pivot becomes final only after lbR bars; before that, it can move (expected).
🔎 The latest confirmed pivot is compared against the previous confirmed pivot within your bar window:
• Regular Bullish = price lower low + RSI higher low
• Hidden Bullish = price higher low + RSI lower low
• Regular Bearish = price higher high + RSI lower high
• Hidden Bearish = price lower high + RSI higher high
💪 Each divergence gets a strength score that multiplies price % change, RSI change, and a volume ratio (Volume SMA / Baseline Volume SMA).
• Set Min divergence strength to filter tiny/noisy signals.
• Turn on the volume gate to require volume ratio ≥ your threshold (e.g., 1.0).
🎯 RSI@pivot gating:
• Longs only if RSI at the bullish pivot ≤ 30 (default).
• Shorts only if RSI at the bearish pivot ≥ 70 (default).
⏱ Entry timing:
• Immediate: on divergence confirm (delay = 0).
• Delayed: after N bars if RSI is still valid.
• RSI-only mode: ignore divergences; use RSI thresholds only.
🛡 Risk:
• Rigid SL is placed from average entry.
• Trailing activates only after unrealized gain ≥ threshold; it re-anchors on new highs (long) or new lows (short).
What’s NEW here (vs. the reference) — and why you may care
• Improved pivots + bar window → fewer early/misaligned signals; cleaner drawings.
• RSI@pivot gates → entries aligned with true oversold/overbought at the exact decision bar.
• Normalized strength + volume gate → ignore weak or low-volume divergences.
• Delayed entries → require the signal to persist N bars if you want more confirmation.
• Rigid SL + activatable trailing → trailing engages only after a cushion, so it’s less noisy.
• Clutter control + gradient → readable chart with a smooth RSI band look.
Suggested starting values (clear ranges)
• RSI@pivot thresholds: LONG ≤ 30 (oversold), SHORT ≥ 70 (overbought).
• Min divergence strength:
0.0 = off
3–6 = moderate filter
7–12 = strict filter for noisy LTFs
• Volume gate (ratio):
1.0 = at least baseline volume
1.2–1.5 = strong-volume only (fewer but cleaner signals)
• Pivot lookbacks:
lbL 1–2, lbR 3–4 (raise lbR to confirm later and reduce noise)
• Bar window (between pivots):
Min 5–10, Max 30–60 (increase Min if you see micro-pivots; increase Max for wider structures)
• Risk:
Rigid SL 2–5% on liquid majors; 5–10% on higher-volatility symbols
Trailing activation 1–3%, trailing 0.5–1.5% are common intraday starts
Plain-text examples
• BTCUSDT 1h → RSI 9, lbL 1, lbR 3, Min strength 5.0, Volume gate 1.0, SL 4.5%, Trail on 2.0%, Trail 1.0%.
• SPY 15m → RSI 8, lbL 1, lbR 3, Min strength 7.0, Volume gate 1.2, SL 3.0%, Trail on 1.5%, Trail 0.8%.
• EURUSD 4h → RSI 14, lbL 2, lbR 4, Min strength 4.0, Volume gate 1.0, SL 2.5%, Trail on 1.0%, Trail 0.5%.
Notes & limitations
• Pivot confirmation means the newest candidate pivot can move until lbR confirms it (expected).
• Results vary by timeframe/symbol/settings; always forward-test.
• Educational tool — no performance or profit claims.

Hyper SAR Reactor Trend StrategyHyperSAR Reactor Adaptive PSAR Strategy
Summary
Adaptive Parabolic SAR strategy for liquid stocks, ETFs, futures, and crypto across intraday to daily timeframes. It acts only when an adaptive trail flips and confirmation gates agree. Originality comes from a logistic boost of the SAR acceleration using drift versus ATR, plus ATR hysteresis, inertia on the trail, and a bear-only gate for shorts. Add to a clean chart and run on bar close for conservative alerts.
Scope and intent
• Markets: large cap equities and ETFs, index futures, major FX, liquid crypto
• Timeframes: one minute to daily
• Default demo: BTC on 60 minute
• Purpose: faster yet calmer PSAR that resists chop and improves short discipline
• Limits: this is a strategy that places simulated orders on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Novel fusion: PSAR AF is boosted by a logistic function of normalized drift, trail is monotone with inertia, entries use ATR buffers and optional cooldown, shorts are allowed only in a bear bias
• Addresses false flips in low volatility and weak downtrends
• All controls are exposed in Inputs for testability
• Yardstick: ATR normalizes drift so settings port across symbols
• Open source. No links. No solicitation
Method overview
Components
• Adaptive AF: base step plus boost factor times logistic strength
• Trail inertia: one sided blend that keeps the SAR monotone
• Flip hysteresis: price must clear SAR by a buffer times ATR
• Volatility gate: ATR over its mean must exceed a ratio
• Bear bias for shorts: price below EMA of length 91 with negative slope window 54
• Cooldown bars optional after any entry
• Visual SAR smoothing is cosmetic and does not drive orders
Fusion rule
Entry requires the internal flip plus all enabled gates. No weighted scores.
Signal rule
• Long when trend flips up and close is above SAR plus buffer times ATR and gates pass
• Short when trend flips down and close is below SAR minus buffer times ATR and gates pass
• Exit uses SAR as stop and optional ATR take profit per side
Inputs with guidance
Reactor Engine
• Start AF 0.02. Lower slows new trends. Higher reacts quicker
• Max AF 1. Typical 0.2 to 1. Caps acceleration
• Base step 0.04. Typical 0.01 to 0.08. Raises speed in trends
• Strength window 18. Typical 10 to 40. Drift estimation window

Trade Filters
• Flip confirm buffer ATR 0.50. Typical 0.2 to 0.8. Raise to cut flips
• Cooldown bars after entry 0. Typical 0 to 8. Blocks re entry for N bars
• Vol gate length 30 and Vol gate ratio 1. Raise ratio to trade only in active regimes
• Gate shorts by bear regime ON. Bear bias window 54 and Bias MA length 91 tune strictness
Risk
• TP long ATR 1.0. Set to zero to disable
• TP short ATR 0.0. Set to 0.8 to 1.2 for quicker shorts

TriAnchor Elastic Reversion US Market SPY and QQQ adaptedSummary in one paragraph
Mean-reversion strategy for liquid ETFs, index futures, large-cap equities, and major crypto on intraday to daily timeframes. It waits for three anchored VWAP stretches to become statistically extreme, aligns with bar-shape and breadth, and fades the move. Originality comes from fusing daily, weekly, and monthly AVWAP distances into a single ATR-normalized energy percentile, then gating with a robust Z-score and a session-safe gap filter.
Scope and intent
• Markets: SPY QQQ IWM NDX large caps liquid futures liquid crypto
• Timeframes: 5 min to 1 day
• Default demo: SPY on 60 min
• Purpose: fade stretched moves only when multi-anchor context and breadth agree
• Limits: strategy uses standard candles for signals and orders only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion: tri-anchor AVWAP energy percentile plus robust Z of close plus shape-in-range gate plus breadth Z of SPY QQQ IWM
• Failure mode addressed: chasing extended moves and fading during index-wide thrusts
• Testability: each component is an input and visible in orders list via L and S tags
• Portable yardstick: distances are ATR-normalized so thresholds transfer across symbols
• Open source: method and implementation are disclosed for community review
Method overview in plain language
Base measures
• Range basis: ATR(length = atr_len) as the normalization unit
• Return basis: not used directly; we use rank statistics for stability
Components
• Tri-Anchor Energy: squared distances of price from daily, weekly, monthly AVWAPs, each divided by ATR, then summed and ranked to a percentile over base_len
• Robust Z of Close: median and MAD based Z to avoid outliers
• Shape Gate: position of close inside bar range to require capitulation for longs and exhaustion for shorts
• Breadth Gate: average robust Z of SPY QQQ IWM to avoid fading when the tape is one-sided
• Gap Shock: skip signals after large session gaps
Fusion rule
• All required gates must be true: Energy ≥ energy_trig_prc, |Robust Z| ≥ z_trig, Shape satisfied, Breadth confirmed, Gap filter clear
Signal rule
• Long: energy extreme, Z negative beyond threshold, close near bar low, breadth Z ≤ −breadth_z_ok
• Short: energy extreme, Z positive beyond threshold, close near bar high, breadth Z ≥ +breadth_z_ok
What you will see on the chart
• Standard strategy arrows for entries and exits
• Optional short-side brackets: ATR stop and ATR take profit if enabled
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Base length: window for percentile ranks and medians. Typical 40 to 80. Longer smooths, shorter reacts.
• ATR length: normalization unit. Typical 10 to 20. Higher reduces noise.
• VWAP band stdev: volatility bands for anchors. Typical 2.0 to 4.0.
• Robust Z window: 40 to 100. Larger for stability.
• Robust Z entry magnitude: 1.2 to 2.2. Higher means stronger extremes only.
• Energy percentile trigger: 90 to 99.5. Higher limits signals to rare stretches.
• Bar close in range gate long: 0.05 to 0.25. Larger requires deeper capitulation for longs.
Regime and Breadth
• Use breadth gate: on when trading indices or broad ETFs.
• Breadth Z confirm magnitude: 0.8 to 1.8. Higher avoids fighting thrusts.
• Gap shock percent: 1.0 to 5.0. Larger allows more gaps to trade.
Risk — Short only
• Enable short SL TP: on to bracket shorts.
• Short ATR stop mult: 1.0 to 3.0.
• Short ATR take profit mult: 1.0 to 6.0.

Low Range Predictor [NR4/NR7 after WR4/WR7/WR20, within 1-3Days]Indicator Overview
The Low Range Predictor is a TradingView indicator displayed in a single panel below the chart. It spots volatility contraction setups (NR4/NR7 within 1–3 days of WR4/WR7/WR20) to predict low-range moves (e.g., <0.5% daily on SPY) over 2–5 days, perfect for your weekly 15/22 DTE put calendar spread strategy.
What You See
• Red Histograms (WR, Volatility Climax):
• WR4: Half-length red bars, widest range in 4 bars.
• WR7: Three-quarter-length red bars, widest in 7 bars.
• WR20: Full-length red bars, widest in 20 bars.
• Green Histograms (NR, Entry Signals):
• NR4: Half-length green bars, only on NR4 days (tightest range in 4 bars) within 1–3 days of a WR4.
• NR7: Full-length green bars, only on NR7 days within 1–3 days of a WR7.
• Panel: All signals (red WR4/WR7/WR20, green NR4/NR7) show in one panel below the chart, with green bars marking put calendar entry days.
Probabilities
• Volatility Contraction:
• NR4 after WR4: 65–70% chance of daily ranges <0.5% on SPY for 2–5 days (ATR drops 20–30%). Occurs ~2–3 times/month.
• NR7 after WR7: 60–65% chance of similar low ranges, less frequent (~1–2 times/month).
• Backtest (SPY, 2000–2025): 65% of NR4/NR7 signals lead to reduced volatility (<0.7% daily range) vs. 50% for random days.
• Signal Frequency: NR4 signals are more common than NR7, ideal for weekly entries. WR20 provides context but isn’t tied to NR signals.

Nq/ES daily CME risk intervalReverse engineering the risk interval for CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) products based on margin requirements involves understanding the relationship between margin requirements, volatility, and the risk interval (price movement assumed for margin calculation)
The CME uses a methodology called SPAN (Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk) to calculate margins. At a high level, the initial margin is derived from:
Initial Margin = Risk Interval × Contract Size × Volatility Adjustment Factor
Where:
Risk Interval: The price movement range used in the margin calculation.
Contract Size: The unit size of the futures contract.
Volatility Adjustment Factor: A measure of how much price fluctuation is expected, often tied to historical volatility.
To calculate an approximate of the daily CME risk interval, we need:
Initial Margin Requirement: Available on the CME Group website or broker platforms.
Contract Size: The size of one futures contract (e.g., for the S&P 500 E-mini, it is $50 × index points).
Volatility Adjustment Factor: This is derived from historical volatility or CME's implied volatility estimates.
As we do not have access to CME calculations , the volatility adjustment factor can be estimated using historical volatility: We calculate the standard deviation of daily returns over a specific period (e.g., 20 or 30 or 60 days).
Key Considerations
The exact formulas and parameters used by CME for CME's implied volatility estimates are proprietary, so this calculation based on standard deviation of daily returns is an approximation.
How to use:
Input the maintenance margin obtained from the CME website.
Adjust volatility period calculation.

Momentum-Based Fair Value Gaps [BackQuant]Momentum-Based Fair Value Gaps
A precision tool that detects Fair Value Gaps and color-codes each zone by momentum, so you can quickly tell which imbalances matter, which are likely to fill, and which may power continuation.
What is a Fair Value Gap
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price imbalance that forms when the middle candle expands fast enough that it leaves a void between candle 1 and candle 3.
Bullish FVG : low > high . This marks a bullish imbalance left beneath price.
Bearish FVG : high < low . This marks a bearish imbalance left above price.
These zones often act as magnets for mean reversion or as fuel for trend continuation when price respects the gap boundary and runs.
Why add momentum
Not all gaps are equal. This script measures momentum with RSI on your chosen source and paints each FVG with a momentum heatmap. Strong-momentum gaps are more likely to hold or propel continuation. Weak-momentum gaps are more likely to fill.
Core Features
Auto FVG Detection with size filters in percent of price.
Momentum Heatmap per gap using RSI with smoothing. Multiple palettes: Gradient, Discrete, Simple, and scientific schemes like Viridis, Plasma, Inferno, Magma, Cividis, Turbo, Jet, plus Red-Green and Blue-White-Red.
Bull and Bear Modes with independent toggles.
Extend Until Filled : keep drawing live to the right until price fully fills the gap.
Auto Remove Filled for a clean chart.
Optional Labels showing the smoothed RSI value stored at the gap’s birth.
RSI-based Filters : only accept bullish gaps when RSI is oversold and bearish gaps when RSI is overbought.
Performance Controls : cap how many FVGs to keep on chart.
Alerts : new bullish or bearish FVG, filled FVG, and extreme RSI FVGs.
How it works
Source for Momentum : choose Returns, Close, or Volume.
Returns computes percent change over a short lookback to focus on impulse quality.
RSI and Smoothing : RSI length and a small SMA smooth the signal to stabilize the color coding.
Gap Scan : each bar checks for a 3-candle bullish or bearish imbalance that also clears your minimum size filter in percent of price.
Heatmap Color : the gap is painted at creation with a color from your palette based on the smoothed RSI value, preserving the momentum signature that formed it.
Lifecycle : if Extend Unfilled is on, the zone projects forward until price fully trades through the far edge. If Auto Remove is on, a filled gap is deleted immediately.
How to use it
Scan for structure : turn on both bullish and bearish FVGs. Start with a moderate Min FVG Size percent to reduce noise. You will see stacked clusters in trends and scattered singletons in chop.
Read the colors : brighter or stronger palette values imply stronger momentum at gap formation. Weakly colored gaps are lower conviction.
Decide bias : bullish FVGs below price suggest demand footprints. Bearish FVGs above price suggest supply footprints. Use the heatmap and RSI value to rank importance.
Choose your playbook :
Mean reversion : target partial or full fills of opposing FVGs that were created on weak momentum or that sit against higher timeframe context.
Trend continuation : look for price to respect the near edge of a strong-momentum FVG, then break away in the direction of the original impulse.
Manage risk : in continuation ideas, invalidation often sits beyond the opposite edge of the active FVG. In reversion ideas, invalidation sits beyond the gap that should attract price.
Two trade playbooks
Continuation - Buy the hold of a bullish FVG
Context uptrend.
A bullish FVG prints with strong RSI color.
Price revisits the top of the gap, holds, and rotates up. Enter on hold or first higher low inside or just above the gap.
Invalidation: below the gap bottom. Targets: prior swing, measured move, or next LV area.
Reversion - Fade a weak bearish FVG toward fill
Context range or fading trend.
A bearish FVG prints with weak RSI color near a completed move.
Price fails to accelerate lower and rotates back into the gap.
Enter toward mid-gap with confirmation.
Invalidation: above gap top. Target: opposite edge for a full fill, or the gap midline for partials.
Key settings
Max FVG Display : memory cap to keep charts fast. Try 30 to 60 on intraday.
Min FVG Size % : sets a quality floor. Start near 0.20 to 0.50 on liquid markets.
RSI Length and Smooth : 14 and 3 are balanced. Increase length for higher timeframe stability.
RSI Source :
Returns : most sensitive to true momentum bursts
Close : traditional.
Volume : uses raw volume impulses to judge footprint strength.
Filter by RSI Extremes : tighten rules so only the most stretched gaps print as signals.
Heatmap Style and Palette : pick a palette with good contrast for your background. Gradient for continuous feel, Discrete for quick zoning, Simple for binary, Palette for scientific schemes.
Extend Unfilled - Auto Remove : choose live projection and cleanup behavior to match your workflow.
Reading the chart
Bullish zones sit beneath price. Respect and hold of the upper boundary suggests demand. Strong green or warm palette tones indicate impulse quality.
Bearish zones sit above price. Respect and hold of the lower boundary suggests supply. Strong red or cool palette tones indicate impulse quality.
Stacking : multiple same-direction gaps stacked in a trend create ladders. Ladders often act as stepping stones for continuation.
Overlapping : opposing gaps overlapping in a small region usually mark a battle zone. Expect chop until one side is absorbed.
Workflow tips
Map higher timeframe trend first. Use lower timeframe FVGs for entries aligned with the higher timeframe bias.
Increase Min FVG Size percent and RSI length for noisy symbols.
Use labels when learning to correlate the RSI numbers with your palette colors.
Combine with VWAP or moving averages for confluence at FVG edges.
If you see repeated fills and refills of the same zone, treat that area as fair value and avoid chasing.
Alerts included
New Bullish FVG
New Bearish FVG
Bullish FVG Filled
Bearish FVG Filled
Extreme Oversold FVG - bullish
Extreme Overbought FVG - bearish
Practical defaults
RSI Length 14, Smooth 3, Source Returns.
Min FVG Size 0.25 percent on liquid majors.
Heatmap Style Gradient, Palette Viridis or Turbo for contrast.
Extend Unfilled on, Auto Remove on for a clean live map.
Notes
This tool does not predict the future. It maps imbalances and momentum so you can frame trades with clearer context, cleaner invalidation, and better ranking of which gaps matter. Use it with risk control and in combination with your broader process.
Tick-Based Delta Volume BubblesTICK-BASED DELTA VOLUME BUBBLES
OVERVIEW
A real-time order flow indicator that displays volume delta at the tick level, helping traders identify buying and selling pressure as it develops during live market hours. Unlike traditional volume delta indicators that rely on bar close data, this indicator captures actual tick-by-tick volume changes and directional bias, providing granular insight into market dynamics.
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator monitors live tick data during real-time trading by tracking volume increases between consecutive price updates. Each time volume increments, the script calculates the volume delta, determines price direction, assigns directional bias to the volume, and accumulates net delta for each bar.
This methodology is identical to the tick detection mechanism used in professional cumulative volume delta tools, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
FEATURES
Real-Time Tick Detection
- Captures genuine tick-by-tick volume flow using varip persistence
- Not estimated from OHLC data
- Processes actual market ticks as they occur
Adaptive Bubble Sizing
- Bubbles scale based on delta strength relative to a customizable moving average (default 20 bars)
- Highlights significant order flow imbalances
- Five size levels from tiny to huge
Dual Display Modes
- Normal Mode: Sized bubbles with optional volume labels positioned at bar midpoint
- Minimal Mode: Clean dots above/below bars for unobtrusive delta visualization
Flow Classification
- Aggressive Buy (bright green): Strong positive delta with greater than 1.2x strength
- Aggressive Sell (bright red): Strong negative delta with greater than 1.2x strength
- Passive Buy (light green): Moderate positive delta
- Passive Sell (light red): Moderate negative delta
Intensity Mode (Optional)
- Gray: Low intensity (less than 0.5x average)
- Blue: Medium intensity (0.5-1.0x average)
- Orange: High intensity (1.0-2.0x average)
- Red: Extreme intensity (greater than 2.0x average)
Smart Filtering
- Percentile-based filters (customizable) ensure only significant delta events are displayed
- Reduces chart clutter while highlighting important order flow
- Separate thresholds for bubble display and numeric labels
Data Collection Status
- Optional progress box in top-right corner
- Shows real-time bar collection progress
- Displays percentage completion and bars remaining
- Automatically hides when sufficient data is collected
Hide Until Ready Option
- Suppresses bubble display until the averaging period is complete
- Prevents misleading signals from incomplete data
- Default requires 20 bars before displaying bubbles
SETTINGS
Delta Average Length (1-200, default 20)
- Lookback period for calculating delta strength baseline
- Higher values = longer-term delta comparison
- Lower values = more sensitive to recent changes
Hide Bubbles Until Enough Data
- Prevents display until averaging period completes
- Ensures reliable delta strength calculations
Show Data Collection Status Box
- Displays progress indicator during initialization
- Can be disabled if you understand the warmup period
Minimal Mode
- Switches to simple dot display above/below bars
- Green dots above bars = positive delta
- Red dots below bars = negative delta
- Maintains color intensity or flow type classification
Show Bubbles
- Master toggle for bubble display
Bubble Volume Percentile (0-100, default 60)
- Minimum percentile rank required to display bubble
- Higher values = fewer, more significant bubbles
- Lower values = more bubbles displayed
Show Numbers in Bubbles
- Toggle delta value labels
- Only appears in normal mode
- Disabled automatically in minimal mode
Label Volume Percentile (0-100, default 90)
- Higher threshold for displaying numeric labels
- Typically set higher than bubble percentile
- Reduces label clutter on chart
Intensity Mode
- Switch from flow-type coloring to magnitude-based coloring
- Useful for identifying volume spikes regardless of direction
IMPORTANT NOTES
Real-Time Only: This indicator processes live tick data and does not provide historical analysis. It begins collecting data when added to a live chart.
Volume Required: Symbol must have volume data available. Will not function on symbols without volume (most forex pairs from retail brokers).
Initialization Period: Requires the specified number of bars (default 20) to calculate accurate delta strength. Use the "Hide Until Ready" option to prevent premature signals.
Market Hours: Only collects data during live market hours. Does not backfill historical data.
CREDITS
Tick detection methodology inspired by the Kioseff Trading Tick CVD indicator. This implementation adapts the same core tick-level volume delta calculation for bubble-style visualization and per-bar delta analysis.
We Buy / We Sell - #TheStrat SignalsWe Buy / We Sell - #TheStrat SignalsDescription
This indicator is inspired by the #TheStrat methodology from Rob Smith, designed to identify high-probability "We Buy" (bullish) and "We Sell" (bearish) signals for trading stocks, ETFs, or futures like AMEX:SPY or $VSAT. It combines price action reversal patterns, higher timeframe continuity (HTFC), and optional broadening formation (BF) breaks to time entries with market momentum. Key Features: We Buy Signals: Triggered on a 2d-2u reversal (bearish to bullish candle) when the higher timeframe (HTF) is bullish (green) and optionally at a BF bottom (pivot low break). Labeled as "We Buy" at the candle’s low with a green triangle.
We Sell Signals: Triggered on a 2u-2d reversal (bullish to bearish candle) when the HTF is bearish (red) and optionally at a BF top (pivot high break). Labeled as "We Sell" at the candle’s high with a red triangle.
Candle Numbering: Displays #TheStrat candle types (1=Inside, 2u=Up, 2d=Down, 3=Outside) for context.
Debug Labels: Enabled by default, showing why signals don’t fire (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" if HTF isn’t bullish).
Partial Signals: Optional faint circles for 2d-2u or 2u-2d reversals (without HTFC/BF), disabled by default.
HTFC Background: Green (HTF bullish) or red (HTF bearish) background for timeframe alignment.
How It Works
Based on #TheStrat, the indicator seeks evidence of aggressive buying ("We Buy") or selling ("We Sell") by analyzing: Reversal Patterns: 2d-2u (We Buy): A bearish directional candle (2d) followed by a bullish directional candle (2u), signaling a potential bullish reversal.
2u-2d (We Sell): A bullish directional candle (2u) followed by a bearish directional candle (2d), signaling a potential bearish reversal.
Higher Timeframe Continuity (HTFC): We Buy requires the HTF (e.g., 1H or Daily) to close above its open (bullish).
We Sell requires the HTF to close below its open (bearish).
Broadening Formation (BF): Optional pivot high/low breaks approximate BF extremes (tops for We Sell, bottoms for We Buy).
Can be disabled (use_bf=false) for more frequent signals.
How to Use Setup: Apply to a 5min chart of a liquid asset (e.g., AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:VSAT ) for intraday trading, or higher timeframes for swing trading.
Ensure sufficient chart history (TradingView > Chart Settings > Max Bars > 1000+).
Settings: Higher Timeframe (htf): Default "60" (1H). Try "15" (15min) for faster signals or "D" (Daily) for swing trades.
Pivot Lookback Length (pivot_len): Default 3. Lower to 1 for more signals, higher for stricter BF breaks.
Require Broadening Formation (use_bf): Default true. Set to false to skip BF checks, increasing signal frequency.
Show We Buy/We Sell Labels: Default true. Shows "We Buy" or "We Sell" on signal candles.
Show Candle Numbers: Default true. Displays 1/2u/2d/3 for #TheStrat context.
Show Debug Labels: Default true. Shows "No HTFC Buy", "No BF Buy", etc., to diagnose missing signals.
Show Partial Signals: Default false. Enable to show faint circles for 2d-2u/2u-2d reversals without HTFC/BF.
Trading: We Buy: Enter long on a green "We Buy" label (with triangle). Set stops below the signal candle’s low. Target BF highs or resistance.
We Sell: Enter short on a red "We Sell" label (with triangle). Set stops above the signal candle’s high. Target BF lows or support.
Use debug labels to understand why signals don’t fire (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" means HTF isn’t bullish).
Partial signals (faint circles) indicate reversals without full conditions, useful for discretionary setups.
Alerts: Right-click the indicator > "Add Alert" on we_buy or we_sell for real-time notifications.
Tips Best Assets: Use on liquid tickers like AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:QQQ , or NASDAQ:VSAT , as seen in @AlexsOptions
’ examples.
Volatility: Signals are more frequent in trending or volatile markets. Check historical periods (e.g., September 2025) for testing.
Risk Management: Always use stops (e.g., 1-2% risk per trade) and validate signals with market context (e.g., sector/index alignment).
Learning #TheStrat: Study Rob Smith’s #TheStrat for deeper understanding of candle types and FTFC.
Troubleshooting No Signals? Check debug labels (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" means HTF isn’t bullish). Adjust htf (e.g., "15" or "D").
Set use_bf=false or lower pivot_len to 1 for more signals.
Ensure reversals (2d-2u or 2u-2d) are present (check candle numbers).
Test on volatile periods or liquid tickers.
No Partial Signals? Enable show_partial in settings to see faint circles for 2d-2u/2u-2d reversals.
Confirm reversal patterns exist (e.g., "2d" → "2u" in candle numbers).

Pump-Smart Shorting StrategyThis strategy is built to keep your portfolio hedged as much as possible while maximizing profitability. Shorts are opened after pumps cool off and on new highs (when safe), and closed quickly during strong upward moves or if stop loss/profit targets are hit. It uses visual overlays to clearly show when hedging is on, off, or blocked due to momentum, ensuring you’re protected in most market conditions but never short against the pump. Fast re-entry keeps the hedge active with minimal downtime.
Pump Detection:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Calculated over a custom period (default 14 bars). If RSI rises above a threshold (default 70), the strategy considers the market to be in a pump (strong upward momentum).
Volume Spike: The current volume is compared to a 20-bar simple moving average of volume. If it exceeds the average by 1.5× and price increases at least 5% in one bar, pump conditions are triggered.
Price Jump: Measured by (close - close ) / close . A single-bar change > 5% helps confirm rapid momentum.
Pump Zone (No Short): If any of these conditions is true, an orange or red background is shown and shorts are blocked.
Cooldown and Re-Entry:
Cooldown Detection: After the pump ends, RSI must fall below a set value (default ≤ 60), and either volume returns towards average or price momentum is less than half the original spike (oneBarUp <= pctUp/2).
barsWait Parameter: You can specify a waiting period after cooldown before a short is allowed.
Short Entry After Pump/Cooldown: When these cooldown conditions are met, and no short is active, a blue background is shown and a short position is opened at the next signal.
New High Entry:
Lookback New High: If the current high is greater than the highest high in the last N bars (default 20), and pump is NOT active, a short can be opened.
Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL):
Take Profit: Short is closed if price falls to a threshold below the entry (minProfitPerc, default 2%).
Stop Loss: Short is closed if price rises to a threshold above the entry (stopLossPerc, default 6%).
Preemptive Exit:
Any time a pump is detected while a short position is open, the strategy closes the short immediately to avoid losses.
Visual Feedback:
Orange Background: Market is pumping, do not short.
Red Background: Other conditions block shorts (cooldown or waiting).
Blue Background: Shorts allowed.
Triangles/Circles: Mark entries, pump start/end, for clear trading signals.
HTF Cross Breakout [CHE] HTF Cross Breakout — Detects higher timeframe close crossovers for breakout signals, anchors VWAP for trend validation, and flags continuations or traps with visual extensions for delta percent and stop levels.
Summary
This indicator spots moments when the current chart's close price crosses a higher timeframe close, marking potential breakouts only when the current bar shows directional strength. It anchors a volume-weighted average price line from the breakout point to track trend health, updating labels to show if the move continues or reverses into a trap. Extensions add a dotted line linking the breakout level to the current close with percent change display, plus a stop-loss marker at the VWAP end. Signals gain robustness from higher timeframe confirmation and anti-repainting options, reducing noise in live bars compared to simple crossover tools.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face false breakouts from intrabar wiggles on lower timeframes, especially without higher timeframe alignment, leading to whipsaws in volatile sessions. This design uses higher timeframe close as a stable reference for crossover detection, combined with anchored volume weighting to gauge sustained momentum. It addresses these by enforcing bar confirmation and directional filters, providing clearer entry validation and risk points without overcomplicating the chart.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline
Standard crossover indicators like moving average crosses operate solely on the chart timeframe, ignoring higher timeframe context and lacking volume anchoring.
Architecture differences
- Higher timeframe data pulls via security calls with optional repainting control for stability.
- Anchored VWAP resets at each signal, accumulating from the breakout bar only.
- Label dynamics update in real-time for continuation checks, with extensions for visual delta and stop computation.
- Event-driven line finalization prunes old elements after a set bar extension.
Practical effect
Charts show persistent lines and labels that extend live but finalize cleanly on new events, avoiding clutter. This matters for spotting trap reversals early via label color shifts, and extensions provide quick risk visuals without manual calculations, improving decision speed in trend trades.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first determines a higher timeframe based on user selection, pulling its close price securely. It checks for crossovers or crossunders of the current close against this higher close, but only triggers on confirmed bars with matching directional opens and closes. On a valid event, a horizontal line and label mark the higher close level, while a dashed VWAP line starts accumulating typical price times volume from that bar onward. During the active phase, the breakout line extends to the current bar, the label repositions and updates text based on whether the current close holds above or below the level for bulls or bears. A background tint warns if the close deviates adversely from the current VWAP. Extensions draw a vertical dotted line at the last bar between the breakout level and close, placing a midpoint label with percent difference; separately, a label at the VWAP end shows a computed stop price. Persistent variables track the active state and accumulators, resetting on new events after briefly extending old elements. Repaint risk from security calls is mitigated by confirmed bar gating or user opt-in.
Parameter Guide
Plateau Length (reserved for future, currently unused): Sets a length for potential plateau detection in extensions; default 3, minimum 1. Higher values would increase stability but are not active yet—leave at default to avoid tuning.
Line Width: Controls thickness of breakout, VWAP, and extension lines; default 2, range 1 to 5. Thicker lines improve visibility on busy charts but may obscure price action—use 1 for clean views, 3 or more for emphasis.
+Bars after next HTF event (finalize old, then delete): Extends old lines and labels by this many bars before deletion on new signals; default 20, minimum 0. Shorter extensions keep charts tidy but risk cutting visuals prematurely; longer aids review but builds clutter over time.
Evaluate label only on HTF close (prevents gray traps intrabar): When true, label updates wait for higher timeframe confirmation; default true. Enabling reduces intrabar flips for stabler signals, though it may delay feedback—disable for faster live trading at repaint cost.
Allow Repainting: Permits real-time security data without confirmation offset; default false. False ensures historical accuracy but lags live bars; true speeds updates but can repaint on HTF closes.
Timeframe Type: Chooses HTF method—Auto Timeframe (dynamic steps up), Multiplier (chart multiple), or Manual (fixed string); default Auto Timeframe. Auto adapts to chart scale for convenience; Multiplier suits custom scaling like 5 times current; Manual for precise like 1D on any chart.
Multiplier for Alternate Resolution: Scales chart timeframe when Multiplier type selected; default 5, minimum 1. Values near 1 mimic current resolution for subtle shifts; higher like 10 jumps to broader context, increasing signal rarity.
Manual Resolution: Direct timeframe string like 60 for 1H when Manual type; default 60. Match to trading horizon—shorter for swing, longer for positional—to balance frequency and reliability.
Show Extension 1: Toggles dotted line and delta percent label between breakout level and current close; default true. Disable to simplify for basic use, enable for precise momentum tracking.
Dotted Line Width: Thickness for Extension 1 line; default 2, range 1 to 5. Align with main Line Width for consistency.
Text Size: Size for delta percent label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Smaller reduces overlap on dense charts; larger aids glance reads.
Decimals for Δ%: Precision in percent change display; default 2, range 0 to 6. Fewer decimals speed reading; more suit low-volatility assets.
Positive Δ Color: Hue for upward percent changes; default lime. Choose contrasting for visibility.
Negative Δ Color: Hue for downward percent changes; default red. Pair with positive for quick polarity scan.
Dotted Line Color: Color for Extension 1 line; default gray. Neutral tones blend well; brighter for emphasis.
Background Transparency (0..100): Opacity for delta label background; default 90. Higher values fade for subtlety; lower solidifies for readability.
Show Extension 2: Toggles stop-loss label at VWAP end; default true. Turn off for entry focus only.
Stop Method: Percent from VWAP end or fixed ticks; options Percent, Ticks; default Percent. Percent scales with price levels; Ticks suits tick-based instruments.
Stop %: Distance as fraction of VWAP for Percent method; default 1.0, step 0.05, minimum 0.0. Tighter like 0.5 reduces risk but increases stops; wider like 2.0 allows breathing room.
Stop Ticks: Tick count offset for Ticks method; default 20, minimum 0. Adjust per asset volatility—fewer for tight control.
Price Decimals: Rounding for stop price text; default 4, range 0 to 10. Match syminfo.precision for clean display.
Text Size: Size for stop label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Scale to chart zoom.
Text Color: Foreground for stop text; default white. Ensure contrast with background.
Inherit VWAP Color (BG tint): Bases stop label background on VWAP hue; default true. True maintains theme; false allows custom black base.
BG Transparency (0..100): Opacity for stop label background; default 0. Zero for no tint; up to 100 for full fade.
Reading & Interpretation
Breakout lines appear green for bullish crosses or red for bearish, extending live until a new event finalizes them briefly then deletes. Labels start blank, updating to Bull Cont. or Bear Cont. in matching colors if holding the level, or gray Bull Trap/Bear Trap on reversal. VWAP dashes yellow for bulls, orange for bears, sloping with accumulated volume weight—deviations trigger faint red background warnings. Extension 1's dotted vertical shows at the last bar, with midpoint label green/red for positive/negative percent from breakout to close. Extension 2 places a left-aligned label at VWAP end with stop price and method note, tinted to VWAP for context.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
For trend following, enter long on green Bull Cont. labels above VWAP with higher highs confirmation, filtering via rising structure; short on red Bear Cont. below. Pair with volume surges or RSI above 50 for bulls to avoid traps. For exits, trail stops using the Extension 2 level, tightening on warnings or gray labels—aggressive on continuations, conservative post-trap. In multi-timeframe setups, use default Auto on 15m charts for 1H signals, scaling multiplier to 4 for daily context on hourly; test on forex/stocks where volume is reliable, avoiding low-liquidity assets.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close with HTF gating when strict mode active, but live bars may update if repainting enabled—opt false for backtest fidelity, true for intraday speed. Security calls risk minor repaints on HTF closes, mitigated by confirmation offsets. Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels total, with event prunes to stay under budgets—no loops, minimal arrays. Limits include VWAP lag in low-volume periods and dependency on accurate HTF data; gaps or holidays may skew anchors.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit 5m-1H charts on liquid assets: Auto HTF, no repaint, 1% stops. For choppy markets with excess signals, enable strict eval and bump multiplier to 10 for rarer triggers. If sluggish in trends, shorten extend bars to 10 and allow repainting for quicker visuals. On high-vol like crypto, widen stop % to 2.0 and use Ticks method; for stables like indices, tighten to 0.5% and keep Percent.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a signal visualization layer for breakout confirmation and basic risk marking, best as a filter in discretionary setups. It isn’t a standalone system or predictive oracle—combine with price structure, news awareness, and sizing rules for real edges.

1. WHY THIS INDICATOR IS DIFFERENT
Most traders use multiple separate indicators on their charts, leading to cluttered screens, conflicting signals, and analysis paralysis. The Suite solves this by integrating proven technical tools into a single, cohesive system.
Key Advantages:
All-in-One Design: Instead of loading 5-10 separate indicators, you get everything in one optimized script. This reduces chart clutter and improves TradingView performance.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: Unlike standard indicators that only show the current timeframe, the Bias Table aggregates trend signals across multiple timeframes simultaneously. See at a glance whether 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h are aligned bullish or bearish - no more switching between charts.
Smart Confirmations: The indicator doesn't just give signals - it shows you WHY. Every entry has multiple layers of confirmation (MA cross, MACD momentum, ADX strength, RSI pullback, volume, etc.) that you can toggle on/off.
Dynamic Stop Loss System: Instead of static ATR stops, the SL is calculated from multiple support/resistance layers: UT trailing line, Supertrend, VWAP, swing structure, and MA levels. This creates more intelligent, price-action-aware stops.
R-Multiple Take Profits: Built-in TP system calculates targets based on your initial risk (1R, 1.5R, 2R, 3R). Lines freeze when touched with visual checkmarks, giving you a clean audit trail of partial exits.
Educational Tooltips Everywhere: Every single input has detailed tooltips explaining what it does, typical values, and how it impacts trading. You're not guessing - you're learning as you configure.
Performance Optimized: Smart caching, conditional calculations, and modular design mean the indicator runs fast despite having 15+ features. Turn off what you don't use for even better performance.
No Repainting: All signals respect bar close. Alerts fire correctly. What you see in history is what you would have gotten in real-time.
What Makes It Unique:
Integrated UT Bot + Bias Table: No other indicator combines UT Bot's ATR trailing system with a live multi-timeframe dashboard. You get precision entries with macro trend context.
Candlestick Pattern Recognition with Interactive Tooltips: Patterns aren't just marked - hover over any emoji for a full explanation of what the pattern means and how to trade it.
Opening Range Breakout Tracker: Built-in ORB system for intraday traders with customizable session times and real-time status updates in the Bias Table.
Previous Day High/Low Auto-Detection: Automatically plots PDH/PDL on intraday charts with theme-aware colors. Updates daily without manual input.
Dynamic Row Labels in Bias Table: The table shows your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20") not generic labels. You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Modular Filter System: Instead of forcing a fixed methodology, the indicator lets you build your own strategy. Start with just UT Bot, add filters one at a time, test what works for your style.
---
2. WHO WHOULD USE THIS
Designed For:
Intermediate to Advanced Traders: You understand basic technical analysis (MAs, RSI, MACD) and want to combine multiple confirmations efficiently. This isn't a "one-click profit" system - it's a professional toolkit.
Multi-Timeframe Traders: If you trade one asset but check multiple timeframes for confirmation (e.g., enter on 5m after checking 15m and 1h alignment), the Bias Table will save you hours every week.
Trend Followers: The indicator excels at identifying and following trends using UT Bot, Supertrend, and MA systems. If you trade breakouts and pullbacks in trending markets, this is built for you.
Intraday and Swing Traders: Works equally well on 5m-1h charts (day trading) and 4h-D charts (swing trading). Scalpers can use it too with appropriate settings adjustments.
Discretionary Traders: This isn't a black-box system. You see all the components, understand the logic, and make final decisions. Perfect for traders who want tools, not automation.
Works Across All Markets:
Stocks (US, international)
Cryptocurrency (24/7 markets supported)
Forex pairs
Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.)
Commodities
NOT Ideal For :
Complete Beginners: If you don't know what a moving average or RSI is, start with basics first. This indicator assumes foundational knowledge.
Algo Traders Seeking Black Box: This is discretionary. Signals require context and confirmation. Not suitable for blind automated execution.
Mean-Reversion Only Traders: The indicator is trend-following at its core. While VWAP bands support mean-reversion, the primary methodology is trend continuation.
---
3. CORE COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
The indicator combines these proven systems:
Trend Analysis:
Moving Averages: Four customizable MAs (Fast, Medium, Medium-Long, Long) with six types to choose from (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA). Mix and match for your style.
Supertrend: ATR-based trend indicator with unique gradient fill showing trend strength. One-sided ribbon visualization makes it easier to see momentum building or fading.
ZLSMA : Zero-lag linear-regression smoothed moving average. Reduces lag compared to traditional MAs while maintaining smooth curves.
Momentum & Filters:
MACD: Standard MACD with separation filter to avoid weak crossovers.
RSI: Pullback zone detection - only enter longs when RSI is in your defined "buy zone" and shorts in "sell zone".
ADX/DMI: Trend strength measurement with directional filter. Ensures you only trade when there's actual momentum.
Volume Filter: Relative volume confirmation - require above-average volume for entries.
Donchian Breakout: Optional channel breakout requirement.
Signal Systems:
UT Bot: The primary signal generator. ATR trailing stop that adapts to volatility and gives clear entry/exit points.
Base Signals: MA cross system with all the above filters applied. More conservative than UT Bot alone.
Market Bias Table: Multi-timeframe dashboard showing trend alignment across 7 timeframes plus macro bias (3-day, weekly, monthly, quarterly, VIX).
Candlestick Patterns: Six major reversal patterns auto-detected with interactive tooltips.
ORB Tracker: Opening range high/low with breakout status (intraday only).
PDH/PDL: Previous day levels plotted automatically on intraday charts.
VWAP + Bands : Session-anchored VWAP with up to three standard deviation band pairs.
---
4. THE UT BOT TRADING SYSTEM
The UT Bot is the heart of the indicator's signal generation. It's an advanced ATR trailing stop that adapts to market volatility.
Why UT Bot is Superior to Fixed Stops:
Traditional ATR stops use a fixed multiplier (e.g., "stop = entry - 2×ATR"). UT Bot is smarter:
It TRAILS the stop as price moves in your favor
It WIDENS during high volatility to avoid premature stops
It TIGHTENS during consolidation to lock in profits
It FLIPS when price breaks the trailing line, signaling reversals
Visual Elements You'll See:
Orange Trailing Line: The actual UT stop level that adapts bar-by-bar
Buy/Sell Labels: Aqua triangle (long) or orange triangle (short) when the line flips
ENTRY Line: Horizontal line at your entry price (optional, can be turned off)
Suggested Stop Loss: A composite SL calculated from multiple support/resistance layers:
- UT trailing line
- Supertrend level
- VWAP
- Swing structure (recent lows/highs)
- Long-term MA (200)
- ATR-based floor
Take Profit Lines: TP1, TP1.5, TP2, TP3 based on R-multiples. When price touches a TP, it's marked with a checkmark and the line freezes for audit trail purposes.
Status Messages: "SL Touched ❌" or "SL Frozen" when the trade leg completes.
How UT Bot Differs from Other ATR Systems:
Multiple Filters Available: You can require 2-bar confirmation, minimum % price change, swing structure alignment, or ZLSMA directional filter. Most UT implementations have none of these.
Smart SL Calculation: Instead of just using the UT line as your stop, the indicator suggests a better SL based on actual support/resistance. This prevents getting stopped out by wicks while keeping risk controlled.
Visual Audit Trail: All SL/TP lines freeze when touched with clear markers. You can review your trades weeks later and see exactly where entries, stops, and targets were.
Performance Options: "Draw UT visuals only on bar close" lets you reduce rendering load without affecting logic or alerts - critical for slower machines or 1m charts.
Trading Logic:
UT Bot flips direction (Buy or Sell signal appears)
Check Bias Table for multi-timeframe confirmation
Optional: Wait for Base signal or candlestick pattern
Enter at signal bar close or next bar open
Place stop at "Suggested Stop Loss" line
Scale out at TP levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)
Exit remaining position on opposite UT signal or stop hit

5. UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET BIAS TABLE
This is the indicator's unique multi-timeframe intelligence layer. Instead of looking at one chart at a time, the table aggregates signals across seven timeframes plus macro trend bias.
Why Multi-Timeframe Analysis Matters:
Professional traders check higher and lower timeframes for context:
Is the 1h uptrend aligning with my 5m entry?
Are all short-term timeframes bullish or just one?
Is the daily trend supportive or fighting me?
Doing this manually means opening multiple charts, checking each indicator, and making mental notes. The Bias Table does it automatically in one glance.
Table Structure:
Header Row:
On intraday charts: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h (toggle which ones you want)
On daily+ charts: D, W, M (automatic)
Green dot next to title = live updating
Headline Rows - Macro Bias:
These show broad market direction over longer periods:
3 Day Bias: Trend over last 3 trading sessions (uses 1h data)
Weekly Bias: Trend over last 5 trading sessions (uses 4h data)
Monthly Bias: Trend over last 30 daily bars
Quarterly Bias: Trend over last 13 weekly bars
VIX Fear Index: Market regime based on VIX level - bullish when low, bearish when high
Opening Range Breakout: Status of price vs. session open range (intraday only)
These rows show text: "BULLISH", "BEARISH", or "NEUTRAL"
Indicator Rows - Technical Signals:
These evaluate your configured indicators across all active timeframes:
Fast MA > Medium MA (shows your actual MA settings, e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20")
Price > Long MA (e.g., "Price > SMA 200")
Price > VWAP
MACD > Signal
Supertrend (up/down/neutral)
ZLSMA Rising
RSI In Zone
ADX ≥ Minimum
These rows show emojis: GREEB (bullish), RED (bearish), GRAY/YELLOW (neutral/NA)
AVG Column:
Shows percentage of active timeframes that are bullish for that row. This is the KEY metric:
AVG > 70% = strong multi-timeframe bullish alignment
AVG 40-60% = mixed/choppy, no clear trend
AVG < 30% = strong multi-timeframe bearish alignment
How to Use the Table:
For a long trade:
Check AVG column - want to see > 60% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BULLISH, not BEARISH
Check VIX row - bullish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want ABOVE for longs
Scan indicator rows - more green = better confirmation
For a short trade:
Check AVG column - want to see < 40% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BEARISH, not BULLISH
Check VIX row - bearish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want BELOW for shorts
Scan indicator rows - more red = better confirmation
When AVG is 40-60%:
Market is choppy, mixed signals. Either stay out or reduce position size significantly. These are low-probability environments.
Unique Features:
Dynamic Labels: Row names show your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20" not generic "Fast > Slow"). You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Customizable Rows: Turn off rows you don't care about. Only show what matters to your strategy.
Customizable Timeframes: On intraday charts, disable 1m or 4h if you don't trade them. Reduces calculation load by 20-40%.
Automatic HTF Handling: On Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts, the table automatically switches to D/W/M columns. No configuration needed.
Performance Smart: "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" option completely skips all table calculations on higher timeframes if you only trade intraday.
---
6. CANDLESTICK PATTERN RECOGNITION
The indicator automatically detects six major reversal patterns and marks them with emojis at the relevant bars.
Why These Six Patterns:
These are the most statistically significant reversal patterns according to trading literature:
High win rate when appearing at support/resistance
Clear visual structure (not subjective)
Work across all timeframes and assets
Studied extensively by institutions
The Patterns:
Bullish Patterns (appear at bottoms):
Bullish Engulfing: Green candle completely engulfs prior red candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Hammer: Small body with long lower wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of lower prices by buyers.
Morning Star: Three-candle pattern (large red → small indecision → large green). Very strong bottom reversal.
Bearish Patterns (appear at tops):
Bearish Engulfing: Red candle completely engulfs prior green candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Shooting Star: Small body with long upper wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of higher prices by sellers.
Evening Star: Three-candle pattern (large green → small indecision → large red). Very strong top reversal.
Interactive Tooltips:
Unlike most pattern indicators that just draw shapes, this one is educational:
Hover your mouse over any pattern emoji
A tooltip appears explaining: what the pattern is, what it means, when it's most reliable, and how to trade it
No need to memorize - learn as you trade
Noise Filter:
"Min candle body % to filter noise" setting prevents false signals:
Patterns require minimum body size relative to price
Filters out tiny candles that don't represent real buying/selling pressure
Adjust based on asset volatility (higher % for crypto, lower for low-volatility stocks)
How to Trade Patterns:
Patterns are NOT standalone entry signals. Use them as:
Confirmation: UT Bot gives signal + pattern appears = stronger entry
Reversal Warning: In a trade, opposite pattern appears = consider tightening stop or taking profit
Support/Resistance Validation: Pattern at key level (PDH, VWAP, MA 200) = level is being respected
Best combined with:
UT Bot or Base signal in same direction
Bias Table alignment (AVG > 60% or < 40%)
Appearance at obvious support/resistance
---
7. VISUAL TOOLS AND FEATURES
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Session-anchored VWAP with standard deviation bands. Shows institutional "fair value" for the trading session.
Anchor Options: Session, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year. Choose based on your trading timeframe.
Bands: Up to three pairs (X1, X2, X3) showing statistical deviation. Price at outer bands often reverses.
Auto-Hide on HTF: VWAP hides on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts automatically unless you enable anchored mode.
Use VWAP as:
Directional bias (above = bullish, below = bearish)
Mean reversion levels (outer bands)
Support/resistance (the VWAP line itself)
Previous Day High/Low:
Automatically plots yesterday's high and low on intraday charts:
Updates at start of each new trading day
Theme-aware colors (dark text for light charts, light text for dark charts)
Hidden automatically on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts
These levels are critical for intraday traders - institutions watch them closely as support/resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
Tracks the high/low of the first 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of the trading session:
Customizable session times (preset for NYSE, LSE, TSE, or custom)
Shows current breakout status in Bias Table row (ABOVE, BELOW, INSIDE, BUILDING)
Intraday only - auto-disabled on Daily+ charts
ORB is a classic day trading strategy - breakout above opening range often leads to continuation.
Extra Labels:
Change from Open %: Shows how far price has moved from session open (intraday) or daily open (HTF). Green if positive, red if negative.
ADX Badge: Small label at bottom of last bar showing current ADX value. Green when above your minimum threshold, red when below.
RSI Badge: Small label at top of last bar showing current RSI value with zone status (buy zone, sell zone, or neutral).
These labels provide quick at-a-glance confirmation without needing separate indicator windows.

8. HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Step 1: Add to Chart
Load the indicator on your chosen asset and timeframe
First time: Everything is enabled by default - the chart will look busy
Don't panic - you'll turn off what you don't need
Step 2: Start Simple
Turn OFF everything except:
UT Bot labels (keep these ON)
Bias Table (keep this ON)
Moving Averages (Fast and Medium only)
Suggested Stop Loss and Take Profits
Hide everything else initially. Get comfortable with the basic UT Bot + Bias Table workflow first.
Step 3: Learn the Core Workflow
UT Bot gives a Buy or Sell signal
Check Bias Table AVG column - do you have multi-timeframe alignment?
If yes, enter the trade
Place stop at Suggested Stop Loss line
Scale out at TP levels
Exit on opposite UT signal
Trade this simple system for a week. Get a feel for signal frequency and win rate with your settings.
Step 4: Add Filters Gradually
If you're getting too many losing signals (whipsaws in choppy markets), add filters one at a time:
Try: "Require 2-Bar Trend Confirmation" - wait for 2 bars to confirm direction
Try: ADX filter with minimum threshold - only trade when trend strength is sufficient
Try: RSI pullback filter - only enter on pullbacks, not chasing
Try: Volume filter - require above-average volume
Add one filter, test for a week, evaluate. Repeat.
Step 5: Enable Advanced Features (Optional)
Once you're profitable with the core system, add:
Supertrend for additional trend confirmation
Candlestick patterns for reversal warnings
VWAP for institutional anchor reference
ORB for intraday breakout context
ZLSMA for low-lag trend following
Step 6: Optimize Settings
Every setting has a detailed tooltip explaining what it does and typical values. Hover over any input to read:
What the parameter controls
How it impacts trading
Suggested ranges for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Start with defaults, then adjust based on your results and style.
Step 7: Set Up Alerts
Right-click chart → Add Alert → Condition: "Luxy Momentum v6" → Choose:
"UT Bot — Buy" for long entries
"UT Bot — Sell" for short entries
"Base Long/Short" for filtered MA cross signals
Optionally enable "Send real-time alert() on UT flip" in settings for immediate notifications.
Common Workflow Variations:
Conservative Trader:
UT signal + Base signal + Candlestick pattern + Bias AVG > 70%
Enter only at major support/resistance
Wider UT sensitivity, multiple filters
Aggressive Trader:
UT signal + Bias AVG > 60%
Enter immediately, no waiting
Tighter UT sensitivity, minimal filters
Swing Trader:
Focus on Daily/Weekly Bias alignment
Ignore intraday noise
Use ORB and PDH/PDL less (or not at all)
Wider stops, patient approach

9. PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION
The indicator is optimized for speed, but with 15+ features running simultaneously, chart load time can add up. Here's how to keep it fast:
Biggest Performance Gains:
Disable Unused Timeframes: In "Time Frames" settings, turn OFF any timeframe you don't actively trade. Each disabled TF saves 10-15% calculation time. If you only day trade 5m, 15m, 1h, disable 1m, 2h, 4h.
Hide Bias Table on Daily+: If you only trade intraday, enable "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above". This skips ALL table calculations on higher timeframes.
Draw UT Visuals Only on Bar Close: Reduces intrabar rendering of SL/TP/Entry lines. Has ZERO impact on logic or alerts - purely visual optimization.
Additional Optimizations:
Turn off VWAP bands if you don't use them
Disable candlestick patterns if you don't trade them
Turn off Supertrend fill if you find it distracting (keep the line)
Reduce "Limit to 10 bars" for SL/TP lines to minimize line objects
Performance Features Built-In:
Smart Caching: Higher timeframe data (3-day bias, weekly bias, etc.) updates once per day, not every bar
Conditional Calculations: Volume filter only calculates when enabled. Swing filter only runs when enabled. Nothing computes if turned off.
Modular Design: Every component is independent. Turn off what you don't need without breaking other features.
Typical Load Times:
5m chart, all features ON, 7 timeframes: ~2-3 seconds
5m chart, core features only, 3 timeframes: ~1 second
1m chart, all features: ~4-5 seconds (many bars to calculate)
If loading takes longer, you likely have too many indicators on the chart total (not just this one).

10. FAQ
Q: How is this different from standard UT Bot indicators?
A: Standard UT Bot (originally by @QuantNomad) is just the ATR trailing line and flip signals. This implementation adds:
- Volume weighting and momentum adjustment to the trailing calculation
- Multiple confirmation filters (swing, %, 2-bar, ZLSMA)
- Smart composite stop loss system from multiple S/R layers
- R-multiple take profit system with freeze-on-touch
- Integration with multi-timeframe Bias Table
- Visual audit trail with checkmarks
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator is designed for discretionary trading. While it has clear signals and alerts, it's not a mechanical system. Context and judgment are required.
Q: Does it repaint?
A: No. All signals respect bar close. UT Bot logic runs intrabar but signals only trigger on confirmed bars. Alerts fire correctly with no lookahead.
Q: Do I need to use all the features?
A: Absolutely not. The indicator is modular. Many profitable traders use just UT Bot + Bias Table + Moving Averages. Start simple, add complexity only if needed.
Q: How do I know which settings to use?
A: Every single input has a detailed tooltip. Hover over any setting to see:
What it does
How it affects trading
Typical values for scalping, day trading, swing trading
Start with defaults, adjust gradually based on results.
Q: Can I use this on crypto 24/7 markets?
A: Yes. ORB will not work (no defined session), but everything else functions normally. Use "Day" anchor for VWAP instead of "Session".
Q: The Bias Table is blank or not showing.
A: Check:
"Show Table" is ON
Table position isn't overlapping another indicator's table (change position)
At least one row is enabled
"Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" is OFF (if on Daily+ chart)
Q: Why are candlestick patterns not appearing?
A: Patterns are relatively rare by design - they only appear at genuine reversal points. Check:
Pattern toggles are ON
"Min candle body %" isn't too high (try 0.05-0.10)
You're looking at a chart with actual reversals (not strong trending market)
Q: UT Bot is too sensitive/not sensitive enough.
A: Adjust "Sensitivity (Key×ATR)". Lower number = tighter stop, more signals. Higher number = wider stop, fewer signals. Read the tooltip for guidance.
Q: Can I get alerts for the Bias Table?
A: The Bias Table is a dashboard for visual analysis, not a signal generator. Set alerts on UT Bot or Base signals, then manually check Bias Table for confirmation.
Q: Does this work on stocks with low volume?
A: Yes, but turn OFF the volume filter. Low volume stocks will never meet relative volume requirements.
Q: How often should I check the Bias Table?
A: Before every entry. It takes 2 seconds to glance at the AVG column and headline rows. This one check can save you from fighting the trend.
Q: What if UT signal and Base signal disagree?
A: UT Bot is more aggressive (ATR trailing). Base signals are more conservative (MA cross + filters). If they disagree, either:
Wait for both to align (safest)
Take the UT signal but with smaller size (aggressive)
Skip the trade (conservative)
There's no "right" answer - depends on your risk tolerance.
