Weighted Ichimoku StrategyLSE:HSBA
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator is a comprehensive tool that combines multiple signals to identify market trends and potential buying/selling opportunities. My weighted variant of this strategy attempts to assign specific weights to each signal, allowing for a more nuanced and customizable approach to trend identification. The intent is to try and make a more informed trading decision based on the cumulative strength of various signals.
I've tried not to make it a mishmash of this and that + MACD + RSI and on and on; most people have their preferred indicator that focuses on just that that they can use in conjunction.
The signals used can be grouped into two groups the 'Core Ichimoku Signals' & the 'Additional Signals' (at the end you will find the signals and their assigned weights followed by the thresholds where they align).
The Core Ichimoku Signals are the primary signals used in Ichimoku analysis, including Kumo Breakout, Chikou Cross, Kijun Cross, Tenkan Cross, and Kumo Twist.
While the Additional Signals provide further insights and confirmations, such as Kijun Confirmation, Tenkan-Kijun Above Cloud, Chikou Above Cloud, Price-Kijun Cross, Chikou Span Signal, and Price Positioning.
Entries are triggered when the cumulative weight of bullish signals exceeds a specified buy threshold, indicating a strong uptrend or potential trend reversal.
Exits are initiated when the cumulative weight of bearish signals surpasses a specified sell threshold, or when additional conditions such as consolidation patterns or ATR-based targets are met.
There are various exit types that you can choose between, which can be used separately or in conjunction with one another. As an example you might want to exit on a different condition during consolidation periods than during other periods or just use ATR with some other backstop.
They are listed in evaluation order i.e. ATR trumps all, Consolidation exit trumps the regular Kumo sell and so on:
**ATR Sell**: Exits trades based on ATR-based profit targets and stop-losses.
**Consolidation Exit**: Exits trades during consolidation periods to reduce drawdown.
**Sell Below Kumo**: Exits trades when the price is below the Kumo, indicating a potential downtrend.
**Sell Threshold**: Exits trades when the cumulative weight of bearish signals surpasses a specified sell threshold.
There are various 'filters' which are really behavior modifiers:
**Kumo Breakout Filter**: Requires price to close above the Kumo for buy signals (essentially a entry delay).
**Whipsaw Filter**: Ensures trend strength over specified days to reduce false signals.
**Buy Cooldown**: Prevents new entries until half the Kijun period passes after an exit (prevents flapping).
**Chikou Filter**: Delays exits unless the previous close is below the Chikou Span.
**Consolidation Trend Filter**: Prevents consolidation exits if the trend is bullish (rare, but happens).
Then there are some debugging options. Ichimoku periods have some presets (personally I like 8/22/44/22) but are freely configurable, preset to the traditional values for purists.
The list of signals and most thresholds follow, play around with them. Thats all.
Cheers,
**Core Ichimoku Signals**
**Kumo Breakout**
- 30 (Bullish) / -30 (Bearish)
- Indicates a strong trend when the price breaks above (bullish) or below (bearish) the Kumo (cloud). This signal suggests a significant shift in market sentiment.
**Chikou Cross**
- 20 (Bullish) / -20 (Bearish)
- Shows the relationship between the Chikou Span (lagging span) and the current price. A bullish signal occurs when the Chikou Span is above the price, indicating a potential uptrend. Conversely, a bearish signal occurs when the Chikou Span is below the price, suggesting a downtrend.
**Kijun Cross**
- 15 (Bullish) / -15 (Bearish)
- Signals trend changes when the Tenkan-sen (conversion line) crosses above (bullish) or below (bearish) the Kijun-sen (base line). This crossover is often used to identify potential trend reversals.
**Tenkan Cross**
- 10 (Bullish) / -10 (Bearish)
- Indicates short-term trend changes when the price crosses above (bullish) or below (bearish) the Tenkan-sen. This signal helps identify minor trend shifts within the broader trend.
**Kumo Twist**
- 5 (Bullish) / -5 (Bearish)
- Shows changes in the Kumo's direction, indicating potential trend shifts. A bullish Kumo Twist occurs when Senkou Span A crosses above Senkou Span B, and a bearish twist occurs when Senkou Span A crosses below Senkou Span B.
**Additional Signals**
**Kijun Confirmation**
- 8 (Bullish) / -8 (Bearish)
- Confirms the trend based on the price's position relative to the Kijun-sen. A bullish signal occurs when the price is above the Kijun-sen, and a bearish signal occurs when the price is below it.
**Tenkan-Kijun Above Cloud**
- 5 (Bullish) / -5 (Bearish)
- Indicates a strong bullish trend when both the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen are above the Kumo. Conversely, a bearish signal occurs when both lines are below the Kumo.
**Chikou Above Cloud**
- 5 (Bullish) / -5 (Bearish)
- Shows the Chikou Span's position relative to the Kumo, indicating trend strength. A bullish signal occurs when the Chikou Span is above the Kumo, and a bearish signal occurs when it is below.
**Price-Kijun Cross**
- 2 (Bullish) / -2 (Bearish)
- Signals short-term trend changes when the price crosses above (bullish) or below (bearish) the Kijun-sen. This signal is similar to the Kijun Cross but focuses on the price's direct interaction with the Kijun-sen.
**Chikou Span Signal**
- 10 (Bullish) / -10 (Bearish)
- Indicates the trend based on the Chikou Span's position relative to past price highs and lows. A bullish signal occurs when the Chikou Span is above the highest high of the past period, and a bearish signal occurs when it is below the lowest low.
**Price Positioning**
- 10 (Bullish) / -10 (Bearish)
- Shows indecision when the price is between the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, indicating a potential consolidation phase. A bullish signal occurs when the price is above both lines, and a bearish signal occurs when the price is below both lines.

//@fr33domz
Experimental Research: Cycle Biologique Strategy
Overview
The "Cycle Biologique Strategy" is an experimental trading algorithm designed to leverage periodic cycles in price movements by utilizing a sinusoidal function. This strategy aims to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the behavior of a custom-defined biological cycle.
Key Parameters
Cycle Length: This parameter defines the duration of the cycle, set by default to 30 periods. The user can adjust this value to optimize the strategy for different asset classes or market conditions.
Amplitude: The amplitude of the cycle influences the scale of the sinusoidal wave, allowing for customization in the sensitivity of buy and sell signals.
Offset: The offset parameter introduces phase shifts to the cycle, adjustable within a range of -360 to 360 degrees. This flexibility allows the strategy to align with various market rhythms.
Methodology
The core of the strategy lies in the calculation of a periodic cycle using a sinusoidal function.
Trading Signals
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the cycle value crosses above zero, indicating a potential upward momentum.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the cycle value crosses below zero, suggesting a potential downtrend.
Execution
The strategy executes trades based on these signals:
Upon receiving a buy signal, the algorithm enters a long position.
When a sell signal occurs, the strategy closes the long position.
Visualization
To enhance user experience, the periodic cycle is plotted visually on the chart in blue, allowing traders to observe the cyclical nature of the strategy and its alignment with market movements.

Weekly Open (Current Week Only)📘 Indicator Name: Weekly Open (Current Week Only)
📝 Description:
This indicator plots a horizontal line representing the weekly open price, visible only during the current trading week. At the beginning of each new week (based on TradingView’s weekly time segmentation), the indicator captures the open price of the first candle and draws a constant line across the chart until the week ends. Once the new week begins, the line resets and updates with the new weekly open.
🎯 How to Use – ICT Concepts Integration (Weekly Profile):
This tool is designed to complement ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading strategies, particularly within the weekly profile framework, by offering a clear and persistent visual of the weekly open, which is a critical reference point in ICT’s market structure theory.
✅ Use Cases:
Directional Bias:
According to ICT concepts, price trading above the weekly open suggests a bullish bias for the week, while trading below it implies bearish conditions.
Traders can use the weekly open line to align their intraweek trades with higher timeframe directional bias.
Dealing Ranges:
Weekly open helps frame the weekly dealing range, especially when combined with other levels like weekly high/low or previous week’s range.
It allows traders to identify potential liquidity pools or areas where price may seek to rebalance.
Mean Reversion Entries:
Price often reverts to or reacts from the weekly open. Traders may use this as a target or entry level, particularly during Monday/Tuesday setups.
Works well in conjunction with concepts like OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) and Judas Swings.
Risk Management:
Acts as a clean and visual anchor to structure stop losses or take-profits based on weekly bias shifts.
SR Intensity CandleThis is a very simple script intended to find just what the title says, "Intensity Candles" is what i am calling them. A bullish intensity candle is taking the low of the previous candle and the close is above the previous candle high. Bearish intensity candle is the opposite, a candle that takes the high of the previous candle and the close is below the low of the previous candle.
Alternatively, if a "bullish" intensity candle is the mitigated and price pushes below, you can expect a back test short of the "bullish" intensity candle. They will act as SR zones for the future price action.
The BEST and most ideal spot for the intensity candles to happen is the see a bullish candle at the low of a move and a bearish candle at the highs indicating strong movement for reversal.

Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Displays the VWAP line, which can be toggled on or off.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): Plots four EMAs (9, 21, 50, and 200 periods), which can also be toggled on or off.
Customization
ORB Length: Choose from 5 or 15 minutes for the ORB calculation.
Show VWAP and EMAs: Toggle the visibility of the VWAP and EMA lines on or off.
Usage
This indicator is designed to help traders identify key market levels, trends, and potential breakouts during the New York trading session. The ORB can be used to gauge market sentiment, while the VWAP provides a benchmark for average price action. The EMAs offer additional trend analysis and can be used to identify potential support and resistance levels.
ZVOL — Z-Score Volume Heatmapⓩ ZVOL transforms raw volume into a statistically calibrated heatmap using Z-score thresholds. Unlike classic volume indicators that rely on fixed MA comparisons, ZVOL calculates how many standard deviations each volume bar deviates from its mean. This makes the reading adaptive across timeframes and assets, in order to distinguish meaningful crowd behavior from random volatility.
📊 The core display is a five-zone histogram, each encoded by color and statistical depth. Optional background shading mirrors these zones across the entire pane, revealing subtle compression or structural rhythm shifts across time. By grounding the volume reading in volatility-adjusted context, ZVOL inhibits impulsive trading tactics by compelling the structure, not the sentiment, to dictate the signal.
🥵 Heatmap Coloration:
🌚 Suppressed volume — congestion, coiling phases
🩱 Stable flow — early trend or resting volume
🏀 High activity — emerging pressure
💔 Extreme — possible climax or institutional print
🎗️ A dynamic Fibonacci-based 21:34-period EMA ribbon overlays the histogram. The fill area inverts color on crossover, providing a real-time read on tempo, expansion, or divergence between price structure and crowd effort.
💡 LTF Usage Suggestions:
• Confirm breakout legs when orange or red zones align with range exits
• Fade overextended moves when red bars appear into resistance
• Watch for rising EMAs and orange volume to front-run impulsive moves
• Combine with volatility suppression (e.g. ATR) to catch compression → expansion transitions
🥂 Ideal Pairings:
• OBVX Conviction Bias — to confirm directional intent behind volume shifts
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 — for directional filters
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon — to detect compression phases
👥 The OBVX Conviction Bias adds a second dimension to ZVOL by revealing whether crowd effort is aligning with price direction or diverging beneath the surface. While ZVOL identifies statistical anomalies in raw volume, OBVX tracks directional commitment using cumulative volume and moving average cross logic. Use them together to spot fake-outs, anticipate structure-confirmed breakouts, or time pullbacks with volume-based conviction.
🔬 ZVOL isn’t just a volume filter — it’s a structural lens. It reveals when crowd effort is meaningful, when it's fading, and when something is about to shift. Designed for structure-aware traders who care about context, not noise.
Market Regime Candle DominanceDescription: This script, "Market Regime Candle Dominance," overlays a TradingView chart to visually identify market regimes—bullish trends, bearish trends, or ranging markets—using adaptive calculations and volatility detection. It dynamically colors candles and highlights the background to indicate current market conditions.
How It Works:
Inputs:
Users define colors for bullish, bearish, and ranging trends, adjust sensitivity thresholds for volatility and trends, and set an adaptive calculation length.
Adaptive Calculation:
A period adjustment factor (calcPeriod) dynamically alters based on the chart's timeframe, ensuring meaningful calculations across different timeframes.
Volatility and Trend Detection:
Using the True Range (ta.tr) and price change (close - close ), the script calculates volatility and trend strength to determine market conditions.
Trend sensitivity is adjustable through thresholds (trendThreshold), enabling finer or broader regime detection.
Market Regime Identification:
Bullish Trend: Detected when trendStrength > trendThreshold.
Bearish Trend: Triggered when trendStrength < -trendThreshold.
Ranging Market: Identified when neither bullish nor bearish trends are present.
Candle Coloring:
Candles are colored according to the market regime:
Green for bullish trends.
Red for bearish trends.
Blue (semi-transparent) for ranging markets.
Background Highlights:
An optional feature (highlightRegime) adds semi-transparent background colors corresponding to the detected regime, enhancing visual clarity of the chart.
Features:
Adaptive Sensitivity: Adjusts the calculation length and thresholds for precision across different chart timeframes.
Customizable Display: Allows users to personalize colors and enable/disable background highlights.
Visual Clarity: Simplifies the identification of market regimes, providing clear direction at a glance.

EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)
🚨 Main Utility: Early Squeeze Warning
The primary function of this indicator is to warn traders early when the market is approaching a "squeeze"—a tightening condition that often precedes significant moves or regime shifts. By visually highlighting areas of increasing tension, it helps traders anticipate potential volatility and prepare accordingly. This is intended to be a statistically and psychologically grounded replacement of so-called "fib-time-zones," which are overly-deterministic and subjective.
📌 Overview
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics indicator projects future regime shifts (such as golden and death crosses) using exponential moving averages (EMAs). It employs historical interval data and current market conditions to dynamically forecast when the critical EMAs (50-period and 200-period) will reconverge, marking likely trend-change points.
This indicator leverages two core ideas:
Behavioral finance theory: Traders often collectively anticipate popular EMA crossovers, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy (normative social influence), similar to findings from Solomon Asch’s conformity experiments.
Bayesian-like updates: It utilizes historical crossover intervals as a prior, dynamically updating expectations based on evolving market data, ensuring its signals remain objectively grounded in actual market behavior.
⚙️ Technical & Mathematical Explanation
1. EMA Calculations and Regime Definitions
The indicator uses three EMAs:
Fast (9-period): Represents short-term price movement.
Medial (50-period): Indicates medium-term trend direction.
Slow (200-period): Defines long-term market sentiment.
Regime States:
Bullish: 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA.
Bearish: 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA.
A shift between these states triggers visual markers (arrows and labels) directly on the chart.
2. Gap Dynamics and Historical Intervals
At each crossover:
The indicator records the gap (distance) between the 50 and 200 EMAs.
It tracks the historical intervals between past crossovers.
An Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) of these intervals is calculated, weighting recent intervals more heavily, dynamically updating expectations.
Important note:
After every regime shift, the projected crossover line resets its calculation. This reset is visually evident as the projection line appears to move further away after each regime change, temporarily "repelled" until the EMAs begin converging again. This ensures projections remain realistic, grounded in actual EMA convergence, and prevents overly optimistic forecasts immediately after a regime shift.
3. Gap Momentum & Adaptive Scaling
The indicator measures how quickly or slowly the gap between EMAs is changing ("gap momentum") and adjusts its forecast accordingly:
If the gap narrows rapidly, a crossover becomes more imminent.
If the gap widens, the next crossover is pushed further into the future.
The "gap factor" dynamically scales the projection based on recent gap momentum, bounded between reasonable limits (0.7–1.3).
4. Squeeze Ratio & Background Color (Visual Cues)
A "squeeze ratio" is computed when market conditions indicate tightening:
In a bullish regime, if the fast EMA is below the medial EMA (price pulling back towards long-term support), the squeeze ratio increases.
In a bearish regime, if the fast EMA rises above the medial EMA (price rallying into long-term resistance), the squeeze ratio increases.
What the Background Colors Mean:
Red Background: Indicates a bullish squeeze—price is compressing downward, hinting a bullish reversal or continuation breakout may occur soon.
Green Background: Indicates a bearish squeeze—price is compressing upward, suggesting a bearish reversal or continuation breakout could soon follow.
Opacity Explanation:
The transparency (opacity) of the background indicates the intensity of the squeeze:
High Opacity (solid color): Strong squeeze, high likelihood of imminent volatility or regime shift.
Low Opacity (faint color): Mild squeeze, signaling early stages of tightening.
Thus, more vivid colors serve as urgent visual warnings that a squeeze is rapidly intensifying.
5. Projected Next Crossover and Pseudo Crossover Mechanism
The indicator calculates an estimated future bar when a crossover (and thus, regime shift) is expected to occur. This calculation incorporates:
Historical EWMA interval.
Current squeeze intensity.
Gap momentum.
A dynamic penalty based on divergence from baseline conditions.
The "Pseudo Crossover" Explained:
A key adaptive feature is the pseudo crossover mechanism. If price action significantly deviates from the projected crossover (for example, if price stays beyond the projected line longer than expected), the indicator acknowledges the projection was incorrect and triggers a "pseudo crossover" event. Essentially, this acts as a reset, updating historical intervals with a weighted adjustment to recalibrate future predictions. In other words, if the indicator’s initial forecast proves inaccurate, it recognizes this quickly, resets itself, and tries again—ensuring it remains responsive and adaptive to actual market conditions.
🧠 Behavioral Theory: Normative Social Influence
This indicator is rooted in behavioral finance theory, specifically leveraging normative social influence (conformity). Traders commonly watch EMA signals (especially the 50 and 200 EMA crossovers). When traders collectively anticipate these signals, they begin trading ahead of actual crossovers, effectively creating self-fulfilling prophecies—similar to Solomon Asch’s famous conformity experiments, where individuals adopted group behaviors even against direct evidence.
This behavior means genuine regime shifts (actual EMA crossovers) rarely occur until EMAs visibly reconverge due to widespread anticipatory trading activity. The indicator quantifies these dynamics by objectively measuring EMA convergence and updating projections accordingly.
📊 How to Use This Indicator
Monitor the background color and opacity as primary visual cues.
A strongly colored background (solid red/green) is an early alert that a squeeze is intensifying—prepare for potential volatility or a regime shift.
Projected crossover lines give a dynamic target bar to watch for trend reversals or confirmations.
After each regime shift, expect a reset of the projection line. The line may seem initially repelled from price action, but it will recalibrate as EMAs converge again.
Trust the pseudo crossover mechanism to automatically recalibrate the indicator if its original projection misses.
🎯 Why Choose This Indicator?
Early Warning: Visual squeeze intensity helps anticipate market breakouts.
Behaviorally Grounded: Leverages real trader psychology (conformity and anticipation).
Objective & Adaptive: Uses real-time, data-driven updates rather than static levels or subjective analysis.
Easy to Interpret: Clear visual signals (arrows, labels, colors) simplify trading decisions.
Self-correcting (Pseudo Crossovers): Quickly adjusts when initial predictions miss, maintaining accuracy over time.
Summary:
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics Indicator combines behavioral insights, dynamic Bayesian-like updates, intuitive visual cues, and a self-correcting pseudo crossover feature to offer traders a reliable early warning system for market squeezes and impending regime shifts. It transparently recalibrates after each regime shift and automatically resets whenever projections prove inaccurate—ensuring you always have an adaptive, realistic forecast.

RVOL Effort Matrix💪🏻 RVOL Effort Matrix is a tiered volume framework that translates crowd participation into structure-aware visual zones. Rather than simply flagging spikes, it measures each bar’s volume as a ratio of its historical average and assigns to that effort dynamic tiers, creating a real-time map of conviction , exhaustion , and imbalance —before price even confirms.
⚖️ At its core, the tool builds a histogram of relative volume (RVOL). When enabled, a second layer overlays directional effort by estimating buy vs sell volume using candle body logic. If the candle closes higher, green (buy) volume dominates. If it closes lower, red (sell) volume leads. These components are stacked proportionally and inset beneath a colored cap line—a small but powerful layer that maintains visibility of the true effort tier even when split bars are active. The cap matches the original zone color, preserving context at all times.
Coloration communicates rhythm, tempo, and potential turning points:
• 🔴 = structurally weak effort, i.e. failed moves, fake-outs or trend exhaustion
• 🟡 = neutral volume, as seen in consolidations or pullbacks
• 🟢 = genuine commitment, good for continuation, breakout filters, or early rotation signals
• 🟣 = explosive volume signaling either climax or institutional entry—beware!
Background shading (optional) mirrors these zones across the pane for structural scanning at a glance. Volume bars can be toggled between full-stack mode or clean column view. Every layer is modular—built for composability with tools like ZVOL or OBVX Conviction Bias.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• 🕰 HTF bias anchoring → LTF execution
• 🧭 Identifying when structure is being driven by real crowd pressure
• 🚫 Fading green/fuchsia bars that fail to break structure
• ✅ Riding green/fuchsia follow-through in directional moves
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL for statistically significant volume anomaly detection
• OBVX Conviction Bias ↔️ for directional confirmation of effort zones
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 for structure-congruent entry filtering
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon to distinguish expansion pressure from churn
🥁 RVOL Effort Matrix is all about seeing—how much pressure is behind a move, whether that pressure is sustainable, and whether the crowd is aligned with price. It's volume, but readable. It’s structure, but dynamic. It’s the difference between obeying noise and trading to the beat of the market.
OBVX Conviction Bias🧮 The OBVX Conviction Bias overlay tracks the flow of directional volume using the classic On-Balance Volume calculation, then filters it through a layered moving average system to expose crowd commitment , pressure transitions , and momentum fatigue . The tool applies two smoothed averages to the OBV line—a fast curve and a longer-term baseline scaled using Euler’s constant (2.718)—and visualizes their relationship using a color-coded crossover ribbon and pressure fills. When used correctly, it reveals whether a move is being supported by meaningful volume, or whether the crowd is starting to disengage.
🚦 The core signal compares OBV to its fast moving average. When OBV climbs above the short average, it fills green—suggesting real directional effort. When OBV sinks below, the fill turns maroon—flagging fading conviction or pullback potential. A second fill between the short and long OBV moving averages captures the broader trend of volume intention. If the short is above the long, this space fills greenish, showing constructive pressure. If it flips, the fill fades red, signaling crowd hesitation, rotation, or early exhaustion.
⚖️ All smoothing is user-selectable, defaulting to VWMA for effort-sensitive structure. The long-term average is auto-scaled using the natural exponential multiplier (2.718), offering rhythm that reflects the curve of participation. OBVX Conviction Bias isn’t trying to predict—it’s trying to show you where the crowd is leaning , and whether that lean is gaining traction or losing strength.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• Detect divergence between volume flow and price action
• Confirm breakout validity with volume alignment
• Fade breakouts where OBV fails to follow through
• Time pullback entries when OBV pressure resumes in trend direction
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL to measure whether volume is statistically significant or just noise (as shown)
• RVOL Effort Matrix to validate crowd effort by tier and structure zone
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 and/or MA Ribbons for directional confluence
• ATR Turbulence to track volatility-phase alignment with volume intention
BTC Dominance Excluding StablecoinsBTC Dominance Excluding Stablecoins
Description:
The "BTC Dominance Excluding Stablecoins" indicator calculates Bitcoin's dominance as a percentage of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization, excluding the market caps of major stablecoins (USDT and USDC). Unlike the standard BTC.D ticker, which includes stablecoins in the total market cap, this indicator provides a clearer view of Bitcoin’s dominance relative to the "non-stable" crypto market. This can be useful for traders and analysts who want to assess Bitcoin’s strength without the influence of stablecoin market caps, which often skew dominance metrics during periods of high stablecoin usage.
How It Works:
Bitcoin Market Cap: Fetches Bitcoin’s market capitalization using CRYPTOCAP:BTC.
Total Market Cap: Retrieves the total cryptocurrency market cap via CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL.
Stablecoin Adjustment: Subtracts the market caps of USDT (CRYPTOCAP:USDT) and USDC (CRYPTOCAP:USDC) from the total market cap.
Dominance Calculation: Computes Bitcoin’s dominance as (BTC Market Cap / Adjusted Total Market Cap) * 100, where the adjusted total excludes stablecoins.
Output: Plots the resulting dominance percentage as a line chart.
Features:
Displays Bitcoin dominance excluding stablecoins on any timeframe.
Customizable line color and thickness for better visualization.
Provides a more accurate representation of Bitcoin’s market share in the volatile, non-stablecoin crypto ecosystem.
Usage:
Add this indicator to your TradingView chart to compare Bitcoin’s dominance against the broader altcoin market, free from stablecoin distortions. Use it alongside other indicators like BTC.D or price charts to analyze market trends, especially during periods of high stablecoin inflows or outflows.
Notes:
The indicator currently excludes USDT and USDC, the two largest stablecoins by market cap. Additional stablecoins (e.g., DAI, BUSD) can be added by modifying the script if desired.
Data is sourced from TradingView’s CRYPTOCAP symbols, which may have slight delays or variations depending on exchange data feeds.
Best used on daily or higher timeframes for smoother, more reliable results.

Risk-On vs Risk-Off Meter (Pro)Risk-On vs Risk-Off Meter (Pro)
This macro-based tool analyzes capital flows across key assets to gauge overall market risk sentiment. It does not use ES, SPY, or stock data directly—making it a powerful confirmation tool for ES traders looking to align with macro forces.
🔹 Core Idea:
Tracks capital rotation between copper/gold, bonds, dollar, crude oil, VIX, and yield spreads to generate a normalized risk score (0–1). This score reflects whether macro money is flowing into risk or safety.
🔹 Use:
Use this indicator as confirmation of directional bias when scalping or day trading ES.
– Green Zone (>0.75): Risk-On environment. Favor long setups.
– Red Zone (<0.45): Risk-Off. Favor short setups or stand aside.
– Yellow Zone: Neutral, use caution.
– Divergence Alerts: Signals when ES price disagrees with macro risk trend—potential reversals or exhaustion zones.
HOT TO USE
– Combine with your existing price action or order flow signals
– Avoid trading against the macro sentiment unless strong setup
– Use divergence as a heads-up for fading or exiting trades
This gives you a macro-informed lens to validate or filter your entries.

Sentiment Master Oscillator[BullByte]
The Sentiment Master Oscillator is a modern market sentiment indicator designed for traders seeking to identify early trend shifts and potential reversals with clarity. This oscillator combines multiple technical tools—RSI, MACD, EMAs, ADX, ATR, and volume filters—to deliver layered signals that help you assess market momentum in a clear and simplified manner.
Key Features:
- Multi-Indicator Approach :
Integrates RSI (with a smoothing function), MACD, and two EMAs to gauge momentum and trend direction. The oscillator also includes ADX and ATR filters to ensure that only markets with sufficient directional strength and volatility generate signals.
- Dynamic Signal Zones :
The oscillator produces a raw value ranging roughly from -3 to +3 (adjustable via a scaling factor). Positive readings suggest bullish conditions, while negative readings indicate bearish trends. Visual zones (Early, Confirmed, Strong) are clearly marked with color-coded horizontal lines to help you interpret the strength of the signal at a glance.
- Adaptive Smoothing :
For those who prefer quicker, more responsive signals (ideal for scalping), an adaptive smoothing option is available. When enabled, it applies a shorter smoothing period to the oscillator; otherwise, a more conservative base period is used.
- Reversal Alerts :
Yellow dots are plotted on the chart to highlight potential reversal points. These alerts are triggered when the oscillator crosses specific thresholds, coupled with volume and ATR conditions, signaling that a top or bottom may be forming.
- Customizable Filters :
- ATR Filter :Ensures that the market's volatility is above a set threshold before signaling.
- ADX Filter :Confirms sufficient trend strength.
- Volume Filter : Requires that trading volume surges above a multiple of its simple moving average, filtering out low-volume noise.
- Clear Signal Messaging :
Based on the combined signals from various indicators, the script categorizes market sentiment into actionable messages such as "Early Buy", "Confirmed Buy", "Strong Buy", "Early Sell", "Confirmed Sell", and "Strong Sell". A "Grey Zone" label is used when the oscillator is near neutral, indicating that no clear trend is present.
How to Use :
1. Entry and Exit Decisions : Use the different signal stages (Early, Confirmed, Strong) as guides for your entries and exits.
2. Trend Confirmation : Rely on the multi-indicator setup for added confirmation of prevailing market conditions before executing trades.
3. Reversal Cues : Pay attention to the reversal dots for potential turning points in the market, which can be used to adjust positions or initiate trades.

ATR and Moving AverageUsing ATR and Moving Average: A Technical Analysis Strategy
The Average True Range (ATR) and the Moving Average are two important technical analysis tools that can be used together to identify trading opportunities in the market. In this article, we will explore how to use these two tools and how the crossover between them can indicate changes in the market.
What is ATR?
The Average True Range (ATR) is a measure of the volatility of an asset, which calculates the average true range of an asset over a period of time. The true range is the difference between the closing price and the opening price of an asset, or the difference between the closing price and the highest or lowest price of the day. ATR is an important measure of volatility, as it helps to identify the magnitude of price fluctuations of an asset.
What is Moving Average?
The Moving Average is a technical analysis tool that calculates the average price of an asset over a period of time. The Moving Average can be used to identify trends and price patterns, and is an important tool for traders. There are different types of Moving Averages, including the Simple Moving Average (SMA), the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and the Weighted Moving Average (WMA).
Crossover between ATR and Moving Average
The crossover between ATR and Moving Average can be an important indicator of changes in the market. When ATR crosses above the Moving Average, it may indicate that the volatility of the asset is increasing and that the price may be about to rise. This occurs because ATR is increasing, which means that the true range of the asset is increasing, and the Moving Average is being surpassed, which means that the price is rising.
On the other hand, when ATR crosses below the Moving Average, it may indicate that the volatility of the asset is decreasing and that the price may be about to fall. This occurs because ATR is decreasing, which means that the true range of the asset is decreasing, and the Moving Average is being surpassed, which means that the price is falling.
Trading Strategies
There are several trading strategies that can be used with the crossover between ATR and Moving Average. Some of these strategies include:
Buying when ATR crosses above the Moving Average, with the expectation that the price will rise.
Selling when ATR crosses below the Moving Average, with the expectation that the price will fall.
Using the crossover between ATR and Moving Average as a filter for other trading strategies, such as trend analysis or pattern recognition.
In summary, the crossover between ATR and Moving Average can be an important indicator of changes in the market, and can be used as a technical analysis tool to identify trading opportunities. However, it is important to remember that no trading strategy is foolproof, and that it is always important to use a disciplined approach and manage risk adequately.
[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
Scalping: Identify quick reversal points on lower timeframes using real-time alerts.
Day Trading: Use inversion gaps as key levels for intraday support/resistance or trend continuation setups.
Swing Trading: Analyse higher timeframes to identify major inversion zones that could act as critical turning points in larger trends.
By integrating this tool into your trading routine, you can streamline your analysis process and focus on executing high-probability setups.
Conclusion
The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is more than just a technical analysis tool—it’s a strategic ally for traders looking to refine their edge in the markets. By automating the detection and tracking of inversion gaps based on ICT principles, it simplifies complex market analysis while maintaining accuracy and depth. Whether you’re new to ICT strategies or an experienced trader seeking greater precision, this indicator will elevate your trading game by aligning your approach with institutional behavior.
If you’re serious about improving your trading results while saving time and effort, this tool is an essential addition to your toolkit. It provides clarity in chaotic markets, enhances precision in trade execution, and ensures you never miss critical opportunities in your trading journey.
