Volume Order Block Scanner [BOSWaves]Volume Order Block Scanner - Dynamic Detection of High-Volume Supply and Demand Zones
Overview
The Volume Order Block Scanner introduces a refined approach to institutional zone mapping, combining volume-weighted order flow, structural displacement, and ATR-based proportionality to identify regions of aggressive participation from large entities.
Unlike static zone mapping or simplistic body-size filters, this framework dynamically evaluates each candle through a multi-layer model of relative volume, candle structure, and volatility context to isolate genuine order block formations while filtering out market noise.
Each identified zone represents a potential institutional footprint, defined by significant volume surges and efficient body-to-ATR relationships that indicate purposeful positioning. Once mapped, each order block is dynamically adjusted for volatility and tracked throughout its lifecycle - from creation to mitigation to potential invalidation - producing an evolving liquidity map that adapts with price.
This adaptive behavior allows traders to visualize where liquidity was absorbed and where it remains unfilled, revealing the structural foundation of institutional intent across timeframes.
Theoretical Foundation
At its core, the Volume Order Block Scanner is built on the interaction between volume displacement and structural imbalance. Traditional order block systems often rely on fixed candle formations or simple engulfing logic, neglecting the fundamental driver of institutional activity: volume concentration relative to volatility.
This framework redefines that approach. Each candle is filtered through two comparative ratios:
Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) - the candle’s volume compared to its rolling average, confirming genuine transactional surges.
Body-ATR Ratio (BAR) - a measure of displacement efficiency relative to recent volatility, ensuring structural strength.
Only when both conditions align is an order block validated, marking a displacement event significant enough to create a lasting imbalance.
By embedding this logic within a volatility-adjusted environment, the system maintains scalability across asset classes and volatility regimes - equally effective in crypto, forex, or index markets.
How It Works
The Volume Order Block Scanner operates through a structured multi-stage process:
Displacement Detection - Identifies candles whose body and volume exceed dynamic thresholds derived from ATR and rolling volume averages. These represent the origin points of institutional aggression.
Zone Construction - Each qualified candle generates an order block with ATR-proportional dimensions to ensure consistency across instruments and timeframes. The zone includes two regions: Body Zone (the precise initiation point of displacement) and Wick Imbalance (the residual inefficiency representing unfilled liquidity).
Lifecycle Tracking - Each zone is continuously monitored for market interaction. Reactions within a defined window are classified as respected, mitigated, or invalidated, giving traders a data-driven sense of ongoing institutional relevance.
Volume Confirmation Layer - Reinforces signal integrity by ensuring that all detected blocks correspond with meaningful increases in transactional activity.
Temporal Decay Control - Zones that remain untested beyond a set period gradually lose visual and analytical weight, maintaining chart clarity and contextual precision.
Interpretation
The Volume Order Block Scanner visualizes how institutional participants interact with the market through zones of accumulation and distribution.
Bullish order blocks denote demand imbalances where price displaced upward under high volume; bearish order blocks signify supply regions formed by concentrated selling pressure.
Price revisiting these areas often reflects institutional re-entry or liquidity rebalancing, offering actionable insights for both continuation and reversal scenarios.
By continuously monitoring interaction and expiry, the framework enables traders to distinguish between active institutional footprints and historical liquidity artifacts.

Ehlers Phasor Analysis (PHASOR)# PHASOR: Phasor Analysis (Ehlers)
## Overview and Purpose
The Phasor Analysis indicator, developed by John Ehlers, represents an advanced cycle analysis tool that identifies the phase of the dominant cycle component in a time series through complex signal processing techniques. This sophisticated indicator uses correlation-based methods to determine the real and imaginary components of the signal, converting them to a continuous phase angle that reveals market cycle progression. Unlike traditional oscillators, the Phasor provides unwrapped phase measurements that accumulate continuously, offering unique insights into market timing and cycle behavior.
## Core Concepts
* **Complex Signal Analysis** — Uses real and imaginary components to determine cycle phase
* **Correlation-Based Detection** — Employs Ehlers' correlation method for robust phase estimation
* **Unwrapped Phase Tracking** — Provides continuous phase accumulation without discontinuities
* **Anti-Regression Logic** — Prevents phase angle from moving backward under specific conditions
Market Applications:
* **Cycle Timing** — Precise identification of cycle peaks and troughs
* **Market Regime Analysis** — Distinguishes between trending and cycling market conditions
* **Turning Point Detection** — Advanced warning system for potential market reversals
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|----------------|
| Period | 28 | Fixed cycle period for correlation analysis | Match to expected dominant cycle length |
| Source | Close | Price series for phase calculation | Use typical price or other smoothed series |
| Show Derived Period | false | Display calculated period from phase rate | Enable for adaptive period analysis |
| Show Trend State | false | Display trend/cycle state variable | Enable for regime identification |
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Technical Formula:**
**Stage 1: Correlation Analysis**
For period $n$ and source $x_t$:
Real component correlation with cosine wave:
$$R = \frac{n \sum x_t \cos\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right) - \sum x_t \sum \cos\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)}{\sqrt{D_{cos}}}$$
Imaginary component correlation with negative sine wave:
$$I = \frac{n \sum x_t \left(-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)\right) - \sum x_t \sum \left(-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)\right)}{\sqrt{D_{sin}}}$$
where $D_{cos}$ and $D_{sin}$ are normalization denominators.
**Stage 2: Phase Angle Conversion**
$$\theta_{raw} = \begin{cases}
90° - \arctan\left(\frac{I}{R}\right) \cdot \frac{180°}{\pi} & \text{if } R \neq 0 \\
0° & \text{if } R = 0, I > 0 \\
180° & \text{if } R = 0, I \leq 0
\end{cases}$$
**Stage 3: Phase Unwrapping**
$$\theta_{unwrapped}(t) = \theta_{unwrapped}(t-1) + \Delta\theta$$
where $\Delta\theta$ is the normalized phase difference.
**Stage 4: Ehlers' Anti-Regression Condition**
$$\theta_{final}(t) = \begin{cases}
\theta_{final}(t-1) & \text{if regression conditions met} \\
\theta_{unwrapped}(t) & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
**Derived Calculations:**
Derived Period: $P_{derived} = \frac{360°}{\Delta\theta_{final}}$ (clamped to )
Trend State:
$$S_{trend} = \begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } \Delta\theta \leq 6° \text{ and } |\theta| \geq 90° \\
-1 & \text{if } \Delta\theta \leq 6° \text{ and } |\theta| < 90° \\
0 & \text{if } \Delta\theta > 6°
\end{cases}$$
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The correlation-based approach provides robust phase estimation even in noisy market conditions, while the unwrapping mechanism ensures continuous phase tracking across cycle boundaries.
## Interpretation Details
* **Phasor Angle (Primary Output):**
- **+90°**: Potential cycle peak region
- **0°**: Mid-cycle ascending phase
- **-90°**: Potential cycle trough region
- **±180°**: Mid-cycle descending phase
* **Phase Progression:**
- Continuous upward movement → Normal cycle progression
- Phase stalling → Potential cycle extension or trend development
- Rapid phase changes → Cycle compression or volatility spike
* **Derived Period Analysis:**
- Period < 10 → High-frequency cycle dominance
- Period 15-40 → Typical swing trading cycles
- Period > 50 → Trending market conditions
* **Trend State Variable:**
- **+1**: Long trend conditions (slow phase change in extreme zones)
- **-1**: Short trend or consolidation (slow phase change in neutral zones)
- **0**: Active cycling (normal phase change rate)
## Applications
* **Cycle-Based Trading:**
- Enter long positions near -90° crossings (cycle troughs)
- Enter short positions near +90° crossings (cycle peaks)
- Exit positions during mid-cycle phases (0°, ±180°)
* **Market Timing:**
- Use phase acceleration for early trend detection
- Monitor derived period for cycle length changes
- Combine with trend state for regime-appropriate strategies
* **Risk Management:**
- Adjust position sizes based on cycle clarity (derived period stability)
- Implement different risk parameters for trending vs. cycling regimes
- Use phase velocity for stop-loss placement timing
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Parameter Sensitivity:**
- Fixed period assumption may not match actual market cycles
- Requires cycle period optimization for different markets and timeframes
- Performance degrades when multiple cycles interfere
* **Computational Complexity:**
- Correlation calculations over full period windows
- Multiple mathematical transformations increase processing requirements
- Real-time implementation requires efficient algorithms
* **Market Conditions:**
- Most effective in markets with clear cyclical behavior
- May provide false signals during strong trending periods
- Requires sufficient historical data for correlation analysis
Complementary Indicators:
* MESA Adaptive Moving Average (cycle-based smoothing)
* Dominant Cycle Period indicators
* Detrended Price Oscillator (cycle identification)

Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram (EACP)# EACP: Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram
## Overview and Purpose
Developed by John F. Ehlers (Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities, Sep 2016), the Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram (EACP) estimates the dominant market cycle by projecting normalized autocorrelation coefficients onto Fourier basis functions. The indicator blends a roofing filter (high-pass + Super Smoother) with a compact periodogram, yielding low-latency dominant cycle detection suitable for adaptive trading systems. Compared with Hilbert-based methods, the autocorrelation approach resists aliasing and maintains stability in noisy price data.
EACP answers a central question in cycle analysis: “What period currently dominates the market?” It prioritizes spectral power concentration, enabling downstream tools (adaptive moving averages, oscillators) to adjust responsively without the lag present in sliding-window techniques.
## Core Concepts
* **Roofing Filter:** High-pass plus Super Smoother combination removes low-frequency drift while limiting aliasing.
* **Pearson Autocorrelation:** Computes normalized lag correlation to remove amplitude bias.
* **Fourier Projection:** Sums cosine and sine terms of autocorrelation to approximate spectral energy.
* **Gain Normalization:** Automatic gain control prevents stale peaks from dominating power estimates.
* **Warmup Compensation:** Exponential correction guarantees valid output from the very first bar.
## Implementation Notes
**This is not a strict implementation of the TASC September 2016 specification.** It is a more advanced evolution combining the core 2016 concept with techniques Ehlers introduced later. The fundamental Wiener-Khinchin theorem (power spectral density = Fourier transform of autocorrelation) is correctly implemented, but key implementation details differ:
### Differences from Original 2016 TASC Article
1. **Dominant Cycle Calculation:**
- **2016 TASC:** Uses peak-finding to identify the period with maximum power
- **This Implementation:** Uses Center of Gravity (COG) weighted average over bins where power ≥ 0.5
- **Rationale:** COG provides smoother transitions and reduces susceptibility to noise spikes
2. **Roofing Filter:**
- **2016 TASC:** Simple first-order high-pass filter
- **This Implementation:** Canonical 2-pole high-pass with √2 factor followed by Super Smoother bandpass
- **Formula:** `hp := (1-α/2)²·(p-2p +p ) + 2(1-α)·hp - (1-α)²·hp `
- **Rationale:** Evolved filtering provides better attenuation and phase characteristics
3. **Normalized Power Reporting:**
- **2016 TASC:** Reports peak power across all periods
- **This Implementation:** Reports power specifically at the dominant period
- **Rationale:** Provides more meaningful correlation between dominant cycle strength and normalized power
4. **Automatic Gain Control (AGC):**
- Uses decay factor `K = 10^(-0.15/diff)` where `diff = maxPeriod - minPeriod`
- Ensures K < 1 for proper exponential decay of historical peaks
- Prevents stale peaks from dominating current power estimates
### Performance Characteristics
- **Complexity:** O(N²) where N = (maxPeriod - minPeriod)
- **Implementation:** Uses `var` arrays with native PineScript historical operator ` `
- **Warmup:** Exponential compensation (§2 pattern) ensures valid output from bar 1
### Related Implementations
This refined approach aligns with:
- TradingView TASC 2025.02 implementation by blackcat1402
- Modern Ehlers cycle analysis techniques post-2016
- Evolved filtering methods from *Cycle Analytics for Traders*
The code is mathematically sound and production-ready, representing a refined version of the autocorrelation periodogram concept rather than a literal translation of the 2016 article.
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Min Period | 8 | Lower bound of candidate cycles | Increase to ignore microstructure noise; decrease for scalping. |
| Max Period | 48 | Upper bound of candidate cycles | Increase for swing analysis; decrease for intraday focus. |
| Autocorrelation Length | 3 | Averaging window for Pearson correlation | Set to 0 to match lag, or enlarge for smoother spectra. |
| Enhance Resolution | true | Cubic emphasis to highlight peaks | Disable when a flatter spectrum is desired for diagnostics. |
**Pro Tip:** Keep `(maxPeriod - minPeriod)` ≤ 64 to control $O(n^2)$ inner loops and maintain responsiveness on lower timeframes.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Explanation:**
1. Apply roofing filter to `source` using coefficients $\alpha_1$, $a_1$, $b_1$, $c_1$, $c_2$, $c_3$.
2. For each lag $L$ compute Pearson correlation $r_L$ over window $M$ (default $L$).
3. For each period $p$, project onto Fourier basis:
$C_p=\sum_{n=2}^{N} r_n \cos\left(\frac{2\pi n}{p}\right)$ and $S_p=\sum_{n=2}^{N} r_n \sin\left(\frac{2\pi n}{p}\right)$.
4. Power $P_p=C_p^2+S_p^2$, smoothed then normalized via adaptive peak tracking.
5. Dominant cycle $D=\frac{\sum p\,\tilde P_p}{\sum \tilde P_p}$ over bins where $\tilde P_p≥0.5$, warmup-compensated.
**Technical formula:**
```
Step 1: hp_t = ((1-α₁)/2)(src_t - src_{t-1}) + α₁ hp_{t-1}
Step 2: filt_t = c₁(hp_t + hp_{t-1})/2 + c₂ filt_{t-1} + c₃ filt_{t-2}
Step 3: r_L = (M Σxy - Σx Σy) / √
Step 4: P_p = (Σ_{n=2}^{N} r_n cos(2πn/p))² + (Σ_{n=2}^{N} r_n sin(2πn/p))²
Step 5: D = Σ_{p∈Ω} p · ĤP_p / Σ_{p∈Ω} ĤP_p with warmup compensation
```
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** Warmup uses $c = 1 / (1 - (1 - \alpha)^{k})$ to scale early-cycle estimates, preventing low values during initial bars.
## Interpretation Details
- **Primary Dominant Cycle:**
- High $D$ (e.g., > 30) implies slow regime; adaptive MAs should lengthen.
- Low $D$ (e.g., < 15) signals rapid oscillations; shorten lookback windows.
- **Normalized Power:**
- Values > 0.8 indicate strong cycle confidence; consider cyclical strategies.
- Values < 0.3 warn of flat spectra; favor trend or volatility approaches.
- **Regime Shifts:**
- Rapid drop in $D$ alongside rising power often precedes volatility expansion.
- Divergence between $D$ and price swings may highlight upcoming breakouts.
## Limitations and Considerations
- **Spectral Leakage:** Limited lag range can smear peaks during abrupt volatility shifts.
- **O(n²) Segment:** Although constrained (≤ 60 loops), wide period spans increase computation.
- **Stationarity Assumption:** Autocorrelation presumes quasi-stationary cycles; regime changes reduce accuracy.
- **Latency in Noise:** Even with roofing, extremely noisy assets may require higher `avgLength`.
- **Downtrend Bias:** Negative trends may clip high-pass output; ensure preprocessing retains signal.

Dual Table Dashboard - Correct V3add RSI Data## 📈 Trading Applications
### 1. Trend Following Strategy
```
1. Check TABLE 1 for trend direction (AnEMA29 + PDMDR)
2. If both green → Look for longs
3. If both red → Look for shorts
4. Use TABLE 2 for entry levels
```
### 2. Support/Resistance Strategy
```
@70 levels = Resistance (sell/take profit zones)
@50 levels = Pivot (breakout levels)
@30 levels = Support (buy/accumulation zones)
```
### 3. Multi-Timeframe Alignment
```
W_RSI → Weekly bias (long-term)
D_RSI → Daily bias (medium-term)
Sto50 → Current position (swing)
Sto12 → Immediate position (day trade)
RSI(7) & RSI(3) → Entry timing (scalp)
```
### 4. Color Scanning Method
**Quick visual analysis:**
- Count greens vs reds in each row
- More greens = Bullish position
- More reds = Bearish position
- Mixed colors = Transitioning/choppy
---
## ✅ Verification & Accuracy
### Tested Against AmiBroker:
- ✅ RSI band values match within ±0.01%
- ✅ Stochastic channels match exactly
- ✅ Color logic matches exactly
- ✅ All formulas verified line-by-line
### Known Minor Differences:
Small variations (<1%) may occur due to:
1. **Platform calculation precision** - Different floating-point engines
2. **Historical data feeds** - Slight variations in past prices
3. **Weekly bar boundaries** - TradingView vs AmiBroker week definitions
4. **Initialization period** - First N bars need to "warm up"

Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.
**Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):**
- EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures)
- GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures)
- AUDUSD → CME:6A1! (Australian Dollar Futures)
- USDJPY → CME:6J1! (Japanese Yen Futures)
- USDCAD → CME:6C1! (Canadian Dollar Futures)
- USDCHF → CME:6S1! (Swiss Franc Futures)
- NZDUSD → CME:6N1! (New Zealand Dollar Futures)
**Supported Exotic Forex Pairs (4):**
- USDMXN → CME:6M1! (Mexican Peso Futures)
- USDRUB → CME:6R1! (Russian Ruble Futures)
- USDBRL → CME:6L1! (Brazilian Real Futures)
- USDZAR → CME:6Z1! (South African Rand Futures)
**Supported Cross Pairs (6):**
- EURJPY → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPJPY → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
- EURGBP → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- AUDJPY → CME:6A1! (Uses Australian Dollar Futures)
- EURAUD → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPAUD → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
**Supported Precious Metals (2):**
- Gold (XAUUSD, GOLD) → COMEX:GC1! (Gold Futures)
- Silver (XAGUSD, SILVER) → COMEX:SI1! (Silver Futures)
**Supported Energy Commodities (3):**
- WTI Crude Oil (USOIL, WTIUSD) → NYMEX:CL1! (Crude Oil Futures)
- Brent Oil (UKOIL) → NYMEX:BZ1! (Brent Crude Futures)
- Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures)
**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.
## How to Use
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. The indicator displays in a separate pane (MACD) and overlay (signals/volume bars)
3. Default settings work well for most assets, but can be customized
### Signal Interpretation
### Visual Signals
**Visual Signals:**
- **Green "BUY" label** - Bullish MACD crossover confirmed by high volume
- **Red "SELL" label** - Bearish MACD crossunder confirmed by high volume
- **Green/Red candles** - Highlight bars with volume exceeding the threshold
- **Light green/red background** - Emphasizes signal bars on the chart
**Information Table:**
A detailed information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane, providing real-time transparency about the indicator's operation:
- **Chart:** Current symbol being analyzed
- **Exchange:** The exchange or data feed being used
- **Pair:** The currency pair or asset name extracted from the ticker
- **Volume From:** The actual symbol used for volume analysis
- Orange color indicates CME or COMEX futures are being used (automatic institutional volume)
- Yellow color indicates native volume from the chart symbol is being used
- Hover tooltip shows whether automatic futures mapping is active
- **High Volume:** Current status showing YES (green) when volume exceeds threshold, NO (gray) otherwise
This table ensures complete transparency and allows you to verify that the correct volume source is being used for your analysis.
**Volume Analysis:**
- Gray histogram bars = Normal volume
- Red histogram bars = High volume (exceeds threshold)
- Green line = Volume moving average baseline
**MACD Analysis:**
- Blue line = MACD line (momentum indicator)
- Orange line = Signal line (trend confirmation)
- Gray dotted line = Zero line (bullish above, bearish below)
### Parameter Customization
**MACD Parameters:**
- Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths for different sensitivities
- Shorter periods = More signals, faster response
- Longer periods = Fewer signals, less noise
**Volume Parameters:**
- **Volume MA Period:** Higher values smooth volume analysis
- **High Volume Ratio:** Lower values (1.5x) = More signals; Higher values (3.0x) = Fewer, stronger signals
- **Volume Lookback Bars:** Controls how recent the volume spike must be
**Direction Filters:**
- **Only Buy Signals:** Enables long-only strategy mode
- **Only Sell Signals:** Enables short-only strategy mode
### Alert Configuration
The indicator includes three alert types:
1. **Buy Signal Alert** - Triggers when bullish signal appears
2. **Sell Signal Alert** - Triggers when bearish signal appears
3. **High Volume Alert** - Triggers when volume exceeds threshold
To set up alerts:
1. Click the indicator name → "Add alert on Smart MACD Volume Trader"
2. Select desired alert condition
3. Configure notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.)
## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.
## Technical Details
**Calculations:**
- MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength)
- MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength)
- MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA
- Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength)
- Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume
- High Volume: Current volume >= Volume MA × Ratio
**Signal logic:**
```
Buy Signal = (MACD crosses above Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
Sell Signal = (MACD crosses below Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
```

## Optimization Tips
**For volatile markets (crypto, small caps):**
- Increase High Volume Ratio to 2.5-3.0
- Reduce Volume Lookback to 3-4 bars
- Consider faster MACD settings (8, 17, 9)
**For stable markets (large-cap stocks, bonds):**
- Decrease High Volume Ratio to 1.5-1.8
- Increase Volume MA Period to 30-50
- Use standard MACD settings
**For forex (with automatic CME futures):**
- The indicator automatically uses CME futures when forex pairs are detected
- Set appropriate trading session based on your timezone
- Use Volume Lookback of 5-7 bars
- Consider session-based alerts only
- Monitor the information table to verify correct futures mapping
**For commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil, Copper):**
- The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures
- Increase High Volume Ratio to 2.0-2.5 for metals
- Use slightly higher Volume MA Period (25-30) for smoother analysis
- Trade during active market hours for best volume data
- The information table will show the futures contract being used (orange highlight)
## Limitations and Considerations
**What this indicator does NOT do:**
- Does not predict future price direction
- Does not guarantee profitable trades
- Does not replace proper risk management
- Does not work well in extremely low-volume conditions
**Market conditions to avoid:**
- Pre-market and after-hours sessions (low volume)
- Major news events (volatile, unpredictable volume)
- Holidays and low-liquidity periods
- Extremely low float stocks
## Conclusion
Smart MACD Volume Trader represents a significant evolution of the traditional MACD indicator by combining volume confirmation with automatic institutional volume integration. This dual-confirmation approach significantly improves signal quality by filtering out low-conviction price movements and ensuring traders work with accurate volume data.
The indicator's automatic detection and mapping system supports over 24 instruments across forex, commodities, and metals markets. By intelligently switching to CME and COMEX futures contracts when appropriate, the indicator provides forex and commodity traders with the same quality of volume data that stock traders naturally have access to.
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who want to:
- Align their entries with institutional money flow

Dynamic S/R# Complete Parameter Guide
## 1. Lookback Bars (Default: 500)
- **Function**: Number of historical bars the script analyzes to identify levels
- **Example**: If set to 500, the script examines the last 500 candles
- **Increase when**: Trading long-term, searching for old historical levels
- **Decrease when**: Day trading or short-term trading, viewing only recent levels
- **Recommendation**: 200-300 for day trading, 500-1000 for swing trading
## 2. Min Touches (Default: 3)
- **Function**: Minimum number of touches required for a level to be considered valid
- **Example**: If set to 3, a level with only 2 touches will not be displayed
- **Increase (4-5) when**: You want only very strong and confirmed levels
- **Decrease (2) when**: You want to identify potential levels early
- **Recommendation**: 3 is a balanced value - not too loose, not too strict
## 3. Extrema Type (Default: both)
- **Function**: Which type of extrema to identify
- **Options**:
- **min**: Support levels only (pivot lows)
- **max**: Resistance levels only (pivot highs)
- **both**: Both types
- **When to change**:
- In uptrend looking for support only: select "min"
- In downtrend looking for resistance only: select "max"
## 4. Pivot Window (Default: 5)
- **Function**: How many bars on each side are required to confirm a pivot
- **Technical explanation**: pivot low = price lower than 5 bars before it and 5 bars after it
- **Increase (7-10) when**:
- More significant extrema needed
- Less noise, fewer levels
- Good for higher timeframes
- **Decrease (3-4) when**:
- More sensitivity needed
- More levels wanted
- Good for scalping
- **Important**: Higher value = quality over quantity
## 5. Clustering Sensitivity % (Default: 0.5%)
- **Function**: Percentage deviation allowed to group touches into the same level
- **Example**: If level at $100 and sensitivity 0.5%, touches between $99.5-$100.5 count as same level
- **Increase (1-2%) when**:
- Volatile assets (crypto, small stocks)
- More consolidation of nearby levels
- Fewer levels on chart
- **Decrease (0.2-0.3%) when**:
- Stable assets (indices, forex majors)
- Higher precision needed
- Separation between close levels
- **Recommendation**: Start at 0.5% and adjust per instrument
## 6. Max Levels to Show (Default: 10)
- **Function**: Maximum number of support/resistance lines displayed on chart
- **Selection criteria**: Script prioritizes levels by:
1. Number of touches (more = stronger)
2. Price spread (tighter = more accurate)
3. Recency (most recent touch closer to present)
- **Low value (5-10)**: Clean chart with only strongest levels
- **High value (20-50)**: More options, including weaker levels
## 7. Min Bar Separation (Default: 5)
- **Function**: Minimum distance in bars between two touches of the same type (min or max)
- **Why important**: Prevents double-counting the same extremum
- **Example**: If pivot low at bar 100 and another at bar 103, only one counts
- **Increase (10-20) when**:
- Lower timeframes with much noise
- Avoiding false consolidation
- **Decrease (2-3) when**:
- Higher timeframes
- Identifying quick movements
## 8. Alert Proximity % (Default: 1%)
- **Function**: Distance from level at which to trigger alert
- **Example**: Level at $100, proximity 1% = alert between $99-$101
- **Increase (2-3%) when**:
- Earlier alerts wanted
- More preparation time needed
- May create false alerts
- **Decrease (0.5%) when**:
- More precise alerts wanted
- Stronger confirmation needed
- Less reaction time
- **Recommendation**: 1% works well for most cases
## 9. Show Price Bands (Default: true)
- **Function**: Displays zone around level instead of just a line
- **Zone size**: Plus/minus Clustering Sensitivity %
- **Why useful**:
- Levels are never exact lines
- Zone better represents reality
- Helps identify entries and exits within zone
- **Off**: Cleaner chart with only lines
## 10. Show Info Table (Default: true)
- **Function**: Displays information table in chart corner
- **Table contents**:
- Type: S (Support) / R (Resistance) / N (Neutral)
- Price: Level price
- Touches: Number of touches
- Bars Ago: How many bars since last touch
- **Off**: If you know the levels and want a clean chart

Traffic Light MA — Trend IndicatorThis script displays a simple “traffic light” circle that reflects the market trend based on two moving averages (MA).
-Green: Price > Fast MA > Slow MA → Uptrend confirmation
-Yellow: Mixed conditions (transition zone)
-Red: Slow MA > Fast MA > Price → Downtrend confirmation
You can customize:
-MA type (SMA or EMA)
-Lengths of both MAs
-Timeframe used for evaluation (e.g. Daily, 4H, Weekly)
This tool is designed for traders who prefer a minimalistic chart, showing only a clean color signal instead of multiple lines.
Recommendation:
For small MAs (8,15,21) use EMA, for big MAs (50,100,200) use SMA
Reversal Zones// This indicator identifies likely reversal zones above and below current price by aggregating multiple technical signals:
// • Prior Day High/Low
// • Opening Range (9:30–10:00)
// • VWAP ±2 standard deviations
// • 60‑minute Bollinger Bands
// It draws shaded boxes for each base level, then computes a single upper/lower reversal zone (closest level from combined signals),
// with configurable zone width based on the expected move (EM). Within those reversal zones, it highlights an inner “strike zone”
// (percentage of the box) to suggest optimal short-option strikes for credit spreads or iron condors.
// Additional features:
// • Optional Expected Move lines from the RTH open
// • 15‑minute RSI/Mean‑Reversion and Trend‑Day confluence flags displayed in a dashboard
// • Toggles to include/exclude each signal and adjust styling
// How to use:
// 1. Adjust inputs to select which levels to include and set the expected move parameters.
// 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!
