## ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
### **Data Limitations**
- Uses **simplified Greeks** calculation (assumes 3 DTE by default)
- Option prices may have slight delays (TradingView data refresh)
- Max Pain calculation is **approximation** based on current premiums
- Not all option symbols may be available on TradingView
### **Best Practices**
1. **Verify prices** on your broker platform before trading
2. **Use during market hours** (9:15 AM - 3:30 PM IST) for accurate data
3. **Most effective** 3-5 days before expiry
4. **Combine with price action** and trend analysis
5. **Risk management**: Never risk more than 2% per trade
### **Optimization Tips**
- **Increase strikes** to 9-11 for better Max Pain accuracy
- **Use FUTURES** tracking for liquid indices (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY)
- **Enable debug mode** initially to verify symbols are correct
- **Adjust IV Multiplier** if VIX seems over/underestimated

## 📖 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
### **Understanding Greeks**
- **Delta**: Rate of change in option price vs underlying (0-1 for calls, -1-0 for puts)
- **Gamma**: Rate of change of Delta (highest at ATM)
- **Theta**: Time decay per day (always negative for buyers)
- **Vega**: Sensitivity to volatility changes
- **Rho**: Sensitivity to interest rate changes (less important for short-term)
### **Max Pain Theory**
Max Pain suggests that market makers manipulate prices toward the strike where option buyers lose the most money. While controversial, it has statistical validity in expiry week when:
1. Volume is high
2. Market makers hedge positions
3. Pin risk causes clustering at certain strikes
### **PCR as Sentiment Indicator**
- PCR > 1: More put buying than call buying (bearish)
- PCR < 1: More call buying than put buying (bullish)
- **Contrarian use**: Extreme readings often precede reversals
- **Confirmation use**: With trend for continuation trades

Statistics
Call-Put Cross Strike Match [Pro]📊 Call-Put Cross Strike Match - Professional Options Trading Indicator
Advanced NSE Options Analysis with AI-Powered Trading Signals & Dynamic Display
🎯 Overview
The Call-Put Cross Strike Match is an institutional-grade options analysis tool designed exclusively for NSE NIFTY and BANKNIFTY traders. Built on Pine Script v6, this indicator combines sophisticated cross-strike matching algorithms with intelligent trading signal generation to identify optimal options trading opportunities in real-time.
What makes it unique:
Analyzes 25 call-put combinations simultaneously
Generates actionable BUY/SELL signals using professional strategies
Fully customizable display with 9 table positions and 6 size options
Simplified setup with semi-automatic ATM detection
Clean, clutter-free interface with only essential information
Perfect for intraday scalpers, premium sellers, and positional options traders.
✨ Key Features
1. 🔍 Advanced Cross-Strike Matching Algorithm
The indicator calculates price differences for all 25 combinations (5 call strikes × 5 put strikes) and identifies the best matches based on put-call parity.
How it works:
Compares each call option price with every put option price
Calculates absolute difference: |Call - Put |
Ranks all 25 combinations from lowest to highest difference
Highlights top 3 or top 5 matches with visual checkmarks
Visual indicators:
✓✓ (Double check) = Best match (lowest price difference)
✓ (Single check) = Good matches (top 3 or top 5)
Empty cells = No match (significant price difference)
Why this matters:
When Call ≈ Put at same strike, it indicates fair pricing and synthetic position opportunities. The indicator automatically finds these opportunities across different strike combinations.
2. 🎯 Intelligent Trading Signals (Last Column)
The indicator generates professional trading recommendations based on Call-Put price difference analysis:
Signal Types:
BUY CE - Long call opportunity (bullish)
SELL CE - Short call opportunity (premium selling)
BUY PE - Long put opportunity (bearish/hedge)
SELL PE - Short put opportunity (premium selling)
BULL - Moderate bullish bias
BEAR - Moderate bearish bias
ATM - Neutral market (near parity)
NEUTRAL - No clear bias
Color-Coded for Quick Decisions:
🟩 Green = Long opportunities (BUY CE, BULL)
🟥 Red = Short call opportunities (SELL CE)
🟧 Orange = Long put opportunities (BUY PE)
🟫 Maroon = Short put opportunities (SELL PE)
⬛ Gray = Neutral zones (ATM, NEUTRAL)
3. 🤖 Three Professional Signal Modes
SMART Mode (Recommended) 🎯
Context-aware institutional strategy that considers strike position relative to spot price.
Signal Logic:
text
OTM Call Expensive (C-P > threshold, Strike > Spot):
→ SELL CE (Premium selling opportunity)
ITM Call Underpriced (C-P > threshold, Strike < Spot):
→ BUY CE (Synthetic long opportunity)
OTM Put Expensive (C-P < -threshold, Strike < Spot):
→ SELL PE (Premium selling opportunity)
ITM Put Underpriced (C-P < -threshold, Strike > Spot):
→ BUY PE (Protection or synthetic short)
Near Parity (|C-P| < threshold/4):
→ ATM (Neutral market, straddle/strangle zone)
Moderate Imbalance:
→ BULL or BEAR (Directional bias without extreme pricing)
Best for: Professional traders, option writers, synthetic position builders
MOMENTUM Mode 📈
Trend-following strategy that rides market momentum.
Signal Logic:
text
Calls Expensive (C-P > threshold):
→ BUY CE (Follow bullish momentum)
Puts Expensive (C-P < -threshold):
→ BUY PE (Follow bearish momentum)
Near Parity:
→ NEUTRAL (No clear trend)
Best for: Intraday scalpers, directional traders, swing traders
MEAN REVERSION Mode 🔄
Counter-trend strategy focused on premium selling.
Signal Logic:
text
Calls Overpriced (C-P > threshold):
→ SELL CE (Collect inflated premium)
Puts Overpriced (C-P < -threshold):
→ SELL PE (Collect inflated premium)
Near Parity:
→ ATM (Fair value, no edge)
Best for: Option writers, theta decay strategies, credit spread traders
4. 🎨 Fully Customizable Display
Dynamic Table Positioning (9 Options):
Top: left, center, right

📈 Best Practices
Strike Selection & Maintenance
At Market Open (9:15 AM):
Check current price (e.g., NIFTY at 25,937)
Round to nearest interval (25,950 for 50 interval)
Enter 5 strikes: -100, -50, 0, +50, +100 from ATM
Update Frequency:
Usually no update needed entire day
Update only if market moves 100+ points from initial ATM
Typically 0-2 updates per trading session
Signal Interpretation by Confidence Level
High Confidence (✓✓ + Signal):
Best match indicator present
Strongest signal quality
Highest probability setup
Medium Confidence (✓ + Signal):
Good match present
Reliable signal
Acceptable risk/reward
Low Confidence (Signal without ✓):
No match indicator
Strike far from parity
Requires additional confirmation

Q: Does it work on mobile?
A: Yes, but table display is optimized for desktop/tablet screens. Use "tiny" or "small" size on mobile.
Q: What if I see "-" in cells?
A: Check expiry format (YYMMDD), verify strikes match NSE strikes, and ensure market is open.
Q: What's the difference between ✓✓ and ✓?
A: ✓✓ = Best match (lowest price difference), highest quality. ✓ = Good matches (top 3-5), reliable quality.
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: The indicator shows live analysis. For backtesting options strategies, you'll need historical options data and separate backtesting tools.
Q: What does the info box show?
A: Bottom-left box shows key metrics: symbol, signal mode, spot price, ATM strike, best matched strikes, match difference, and C-P value.
Q: Why no chart plotting?
A: v1.0 focuses on clean table display with maximum information density. Chart plotting may be added in future versions based on user feedback.

UT Bilgi Paneli (Ugur TUFAN) English Description
UT Info Panel (Advanced Performance & Correlation Dashboard)
UT Info Panel is a comprehensive dashboard designed to help traders analyze the performance of an asset over multiple timeframes and compare it instantly with other assets or benchmark indices.
This tool overlays on the main chart, providing critical data in a clean, organized table located at the top-right corner without cluttering your workspace.
Key Features:
Detailed Performance Analysis:
Displays percentage returns for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 3-Month, 6-Month, and 1-Year periods.
High & Low Distance Metrics:
Calculates the percentage distance to the 52-week (1 Year) High and Low levels.
Shows the distance to the All-Time High (ATH), helping to visualize potential recovery or growth margins.
Smart Dual Mode:
Mode 1 (Index Harmony): If no comparison symbols are entered, it compares the current asset with a benchmark index (e.g., XU100). It visually indicates directional correlation (Harmony) with checkmarks (✔) or crosses (✖).
Mode 2 (Multi-Asset Comparison): By adding up to 5 different symbols in the settings, the table automatically expands to show a side-by-side performance comparison of all selected assets.
Localized Visualization:
Data is presented with clear color coding (Green for positive, Red for negative) for easy reading.
How to Use:
When added, it defaults to the harmony mode with the benchmark index.
Open settings to input up to 5 different symbols you wish to compare.
The table automatically adjusts its size and positions itself at the top right.
Day of WeekDay of Week is an indicator that runs in a separate panel and colors the panel background according to the day of the week.
Main Features
Colors the background of the lower panel based on the day of the week
Includes all days, from Monday to Sunday
Customizable colors
Time Offset Correction
TradingView calculates the day of the week using the exchange’s timezone, which can cause visual inconsistencies on certain symbols.
To address this, the indicator includes a configurable time offset that allows the user to synchronize the calculated day with the day displayed on the chart.
By simply adjusting the Time Offset (hours) parameter, the background will align correctly with the visible chart calendar.

// For other timeframes, adjust accordingly for different time periods and needs.
// For hourly I have it set at 24*5, 24*5*4 and then finally 24*5*4 to give the same,
// daily, weekly and monthly aggregate returns but on the hourly scale.
// Of course you can split it anyway you like as well depends on the expected needs you have.
Running idea so there will likely be revisions to the z scoring to possibly a different method and the atan angle represented in the code will also likely be changed at some point as to maybe a regression method. These changes will take time as this is only a secondary platform for me not the main source of data. In saying that the table has the data representing the log returns of an asset of n bars which I decided on over the original more accurate daily, weekly and monthly close points which the user can always specify using this method if wanting to be more accurate with the standard method of momentum returns factor.

ATR Locha – Volatility Regime Indicator
A market-condition tool to identify volatility compression and expansion
Description
ATR Locha is a volatility-regime indicator based on ATR expressed as a percentage of price (ATR%) . Instead of predicting price direction, it focuses on identifying market stress states —periods of unusually low volatility (compression) and unusually high volatility (panic or expansion).
Markets often remain calm for long periods and then move sharply when volatility expands. ATR Locha helps traders visually identify these conditions and prepare accordingly.
What the Indicator Shows
• ATR% line showing current volatility intensity
• Lower shaded zone representing volatility compression (ATR Locha zone)
• Upper shaded zone representing volatility expansion / panic
• Regime label displaying the current market state
Core Concept
Price trends often change only after volatility changes.
ATR Locha does not answer “Where will price go?”
It answers “Is risk quietly building or already exploding?”
How to Use ATR Locha
1. Compression Zone (ATR Locha Zone)
When ATR% enters the lower shaded region:
• Market volatility is suppressed
• Price ranges become narrow
• Risk of sudden expansion increases
Trading Insight
• Reduce leverage
• Avoid chasing late trends
• Prepare for breakouts or regime shifts
2. Expansion / Panic Zone
When ATR% enters the upper shaded region:
• Volatility is elevated
• Market is emotionally driven
• Large candles and gaps are common
Trading Insight
• Book partial profits
• Tighten stop losses
• Avoid aggressive fresh entries
3. Normal Regime
When ATR% stays between both zones:
• Market is balanced
• Trends or ranges behave normally
Trading Insight
• Follow your regular trading strategy
Best Use-Cases
• Index analysis (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, global indices)
• Positional and swing trading
• Risk management and position sizing
• Market regime identification
Advantages (Pros)
• Clear identification of market regimes
• Objective and non-directional
• Acts as an early warning system
• Works well on daily and weekly charts
• Complements any price-based strategy
Limitations (Cons)
• Not a buy or sell signal
• Does not predict price direction
• Volatility compression can persist longer than expected
• Requires confirmation from price structure or volume
Common Mistakes to Avoid
• Using ATR Locha as a standalone trading system
• Expecting immediate breakouts from compression
• Ignoring price action and structure
• Over-leveraging during low volatility periods
Recommended Combinations
• ATR Locha + price structure analysis
• ATR Locha + trend indicators
• ATR Locha + options volatility (IV) analysis
• ATR Locha + support and resistance levels
Summary
ATR Locha is not a trading strategy.
It is a volatility and risk-condition detector .
It helps traders understand whether the market is:
• Calm
• Balanced
• Or under stress
Used correctly, ATR Locha improves discipline, risk awareness, and timing quality.
Disclaimer
ATR Locha is intended for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice, trading recommendations, or a guarantee of future performance. Market conditions can change rapidly, and volatility regimes may persist longer than anticipated. Users should apply independent judgment, proper risk management, and additional confirmation before making any trading decisions.
GC1! H1 Stats+GC1! H1 Stats - Detailed Prob & Excursion Indicator
Overview
GC1! H1 Stats - Detailed Prob & Excursion is a specialized statistical overlay indicator for TradingView, tailored for Gold futures (GC1!) on a 1-hour framework. It provides real-time insights into the probability of price returning to the hourly open after sweeping the previous hour’s high (PHH) or previous hour’s low (PHL), based on historical data segmented by hour (0–23) and 20-minute intervals. The indicator visualizes these sweeps with lines, labels, circles, background fills, and “excursion zones” (also called “Magic Boxes”) that highlight median/mean extensions post-sweep, along with percentile lines (75th / 90th / 95th) for gauging potential “pain” or extreme moves. This tool is designed for intraday Gold traders focusing on liquidity sweeps and mean-reversion behavior, helping to quantify edge using empirical probabilities and excursion statistics.
The data is hardcoded from extensive historical analysis of GC1! behavior (e.g., probabilities ranging roughly from ~7% to ~91%, with sample sizes up to 2000+ per segment), making it a backtested reference rather than a dynamic learning model. It emphasizes visual clarity during active hours, with options to filter for Regular Trading Hours (RTH: 09:00–15:59 ET) or high-probability (>70%) events only. Note: This is an educational tool for analyzing market structure; it does not predict future performance or provide trading signals/advice. Past data does not guarantee future results, and users should backtest on current conditions (as of December 2025 data availability) and use at their own risk, in compliance with TradingView’s house rules.
________________________________________
Key Features
• Sweep Detection & Probability Labels: Identifies when price breaks PHH (upside) or PHL (downside), displaying a centered label with probability of returning to the hourly open, sample size (N), time of sweep, and a checkmark (✅) if the open is retested post-sweep.
• Visual Lines & Markers: Draws hourly open (h.o.), PHH, and PHL lines with customizable styles/colors; adds small circles on sweep bars for quick spotting.
• Breakout→Open Background Fill: Shaded zone from sweep bar until price returns to open, visualizing extension duration and retracement.
• Excursion (Pain) Zone - “Magic Box”: Post-sweep box showing median/mean extension percentages, colored dynamically by probability (green high, orange mid, red low); includes dashed lines for 75th/90th/95th percentiles to mark statistical extremes.
• Time-Segmented Data: Probabilities and excursions vary by hour (0–23) and 20-min segments (0–19 min: _0, 20–39: _1, 40–59: _2), capturing intraday nuances (e.g., higher probs in early/late hours).
• Filters for Focus: RTH-only mode hides non-session elements; high-prob-only shows >70% events to reduce noise.
• Alerts: Triggers on PHH/PHL sweeps with messages for chart checks.
________________________________________
How It Works
• Data Foundation: Uses pre-computed maps for probabilities (prob_high_taken/prob_low_taken), sample sizes, and excursions (mean, median, p75/p90/p95 as percentages of open). Data is initialized on the first bar via f_init_high_data() and f_init_low_data(), covering 24 hours with 3 segments each (e.g., key "9_1" for 09:20–09:39). Probabilities represent historical likelihood of price returning to open after sweep; excursions quantify average/rare extensions (e.g., 0.156% mean = 0.156% of open price).
• Period Detection: On new 1H bars (new_period_bar), resets visuals, draws lines for open/PHH/PHL extending 1 hour forward, and labels if enabled. Uses request.security on standard ticker for real OHLC, bypassing chart transformations (e.g., Heikin Ashi).
• Sweep Logic: On each bar, checks if real high > PHH or real low < PHL. If so, fetches segment-specific data (hour + floor(minute/20)), displays probability label centered mid-hour. Skips if filtered (RTH-only or <70% prob).
• Excursion Visualization: If enabled, draws “Magic Box” from 1-min to 58-min into the hour, bounded by mean/median levels (top/bottom adjusted for high/low sweep). Adds percentile lines with labels (e.g., “75%”) at right end. Box color reflects prob strength for quick bias assessment.
• Retest Check: Monitors for open retest post-sweep (high/low cross open, or gap scenarios from prev bar). Adds ✅ to label if hit on subsequent bars (skips sweep bar to avoid false positives). Stops background fill on retest or at 58-min mark.
• Background Fill: Activates on sweep, shades until retest, using user color.
• Cleanup & Performance: Manages labels in arrays, clears on new periods; no excess drawing beyond max counts (500 lines/labels/boxes).
This setup blends statistical backtesting with real-time visualization: hardcoded data provides empirical probabilities/excursions (reducing subjectivity in breakouts), while dynamic elements (lines, fills, boxes) overlay structure on the chart. It helps Gold traders assess if a sweep is “high-edge” (e.g., >70% probability of reverting) or likely to run (low probability, high excursion), pairing historical context with current price action.

________________________________________
Usage Tips
• Breakout Trading: Watch for sweeps with high probability (>70%, green label) as potential fades back to open; low probability (red) may signal runs—use the excursion box for targets (e.g., exit at 90th percentile for extremes).
• Time Awareness: Probabilities often peak in key liquidity windows and drop in quieter hours; segments capture momentum shifts (e.g., _2 often lower prob).
• RTH Focus: Enable for cleaner stats during high-liquidity session hours; disable for a 24-hour view.
• Visual Filtering: Use high-prob-only in volatile conditions to reduce noise; combine with volume or other confluence tools for confirmation.
• Alerts Integration: Set TradingView alerts on sweeps; check label for probability/N before acting.
• Chart Setup: Best on 1H or lower GC1! charts; adjust text size for readability on smaller screens.
• Backtesting: Manually review historical sweeps against data maps to validate; update hardcoded values if new data emerges (as of 2025).
________________________________________
Limitations
• Fixed Data: Hardcoded stats may not reflect recent market changes (e.g., post-2025 regime shifts); not adaptive.
• Reactive Only: Detects sweeps after they occur; no predictive signals.
• Timeframe Specific: Locked to 1H logic; may not translate to other assets/timeframes without recoding data.
• Visual Clutter: On busy charts, labels/boxes may overlap—toggle selectively.
• No Live Stats: Sample sizes are historical; real-time N/prob not updated.
• Gaps & Extremes: Handles gaps in retest logic, but rare events (e.g., macro news) may exceed the 95th percentile.

Student Wyckoff Relative StrengthSTUDENT WYCKOFF Relative Strength compares one instrument against another and plots their relative performance as a single line.
Instead of asking “is this chart going up or down?”, the script answers a more practical question: “is THIS asset doing better or worse than my benchmark?”
━━━━━━━━━━
1. Concept
━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator builds a classic relative strength (RS) line:
• Main symbol = the chart you attach the script to.
• Benchmark symbol = any symbol you choose in the settings (index, ETF, sector, another coin, etc.).
RS is calculated as:
RS = Price(main symbol) / Price(benchmark)
If RS is rising, your symbol outperforms the benchmark.
If RS is falling, your symbol underperforms the benchmark.
You can optionally normalize RS from the first bar (start at 1 or 100) to clearly see how many times the asset has outperformed or lagged behind over the visible history.
This is not a “buy/sell” indicator. It is a **context tool** for rotation, selection and Wyckoff-style comparative analysis.
━━━━━━━━━━
2. How the RS line is built
━━━━━━━━━━
Inputs:
• Source of main symbol – default is close, but you can choose any OHLC/HL2/typical price etc.
• Benchmark symbol – ticker used as reference (index, sector, futures, Bitcoin, stablecoin pair, etc.).
• Benchmark timeframe – by default the current chart timeframe is used, or you can force a different TF.
The script uses `request.security()` with `lookahead_off` and `gaps_off` to pull benchmark prices **without look-ahead**.
A small epsilon is used internally to avoid division by zero when the benchmark price is very close to 0.
Normalization options:
• Normalize RS from first bar – if enabled, the very first valid RS value becomes “1” (or 100), and all further values are expressed relative to this starting point.
• Multiply RS by 100 – purely cosmetic; makes it easier to read RS as a “percentage-like” scale.
━━━━━━━━━━
3. Smoothing and color logic
━━━━━━━━━━
To help read the trend of relative strength, the script calculates a simple moving average of the RS line:
• RS MA length – period of smoothing over the RS values.
• Show RS moving average – toggle to display or hide this line.
Color logic:
• When RS is above its own MA → the line is drawn with the “stronger” color.
• When RS is below its MA → the line uses the “weaker” color.
• When RS is close to its MA → neutral color.
Optional background shading:
• When RS > RS MA → background can be tinted softly green (phase of relative strength).
• When RS < RS MA → background can be tinted softly red (phase of relative weakness).
This makes it easy to read the **trend of strength** at a glance, without measuring every small swing.
━━━━━━━━━━
4. How to interpret it
━━━━━━━━━━
Basic reading rules:
• Rising RS line
– The main symbol is outperforming the benchmark.
– In Wyckoff terms, this can indicate a leader within its group, or a sign of accumulation relative to the market.
• Falling RS line
– The main symbol is underperforming the benchmark.
– Can point to laggards, distribution, or simply an asset that is “dead money” compared to alternatives.
• Flat or choppy RS line
– No clear edge versus the benchmark; performance is similar or rotating back and forth.
With normalization on:
• RS > 1 (or > 100) – the asset has grown more than the benchmark since the starting point.
• RS < 1 (or < 100) – it has grown less (or fallen more) than the benchmark over the same period.
The RS moving average and colored background highlight whether this outperformance/underperformance is a **temporary fluctuation** or a more sustained phase.
━━━━━━━━━━
5. Practical uses
━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator is useful for:
• **Selecting stronger assets inside a group**
– Compare individual stocks vs an index, sector, or industry ETF.
– Compare altcoins vs BTC, ETH, or a crypto index.
– Prefer charts where RS is in a sustained uptrend rather than just price going “up on its own”.
• **Monitoring sector and rotation flows**
– Attach the script to sector ETFs or major coins and switch the benchmark to a broad market index.
– See where capital is rotating: which areas are gaining or losing strength over time.
• **Supporting Wyckoff-style analysis**
– Use RS together with volume, structure, phases and trading ranges.
– A breakout or SOS with rising RS vs the market tells a different story than the same pattern with falling RS.
• **Portfolio review and risk decisions**
– When an asset shows a long period of relative weakness, it may be a candidate to reduce or replace.
– When RS turns up from a long weak phase, it can signal the start of potential leadership (not an entry by itself, but a reason to study the chart deeper).

Seasonal Trend by LogReturn ProSeasonal Trend by LogReturn Pro
Seasonal Trend by LogReturn Pro is a seasonality indicator that analyzes historical average logarithmic returns to visualize recurring price behavior throughout the trading year.
Instead of using simple price averages, this indicator is based on log returns, making it scale-independent and mathematically consistent across different price levels and assets.
🔍 How It Works
The indicator calculates daily logarithmic returns for each trading day of the year.
These returns are aggregated and averaged over a user-defined number of past years.
Based on this historical data, a seasonal trend profile is constructed that represents the statistically expected market behavior over the year.
All calculations are aligned by trading day index, not calendar days, ensuring accurate seasonality even across different years and holidays.
📈 Display Modes
The indicator offers two complementary visualizations:
1. Absolute Seasonal Projection (Main Chart)
- Projects a price path based on historical average log returns.
- Can be displayd:
- Only for the remaining part of the current year, or
- For the entire year, starting from the beginning.
- Useful for visualizing potential seasonal price tendencies relative to the current price.
2. Relative Seasonal Performance (Indicator Pane)
Shows the cumulative seasonal return in percentage terms.
Centered around a zero line for easy interpretation.
Ideal for identifying periods with historically positive or negative seasonal bias.
💡 Use Cases
Identifying seasonal bullish or bearish phases
Timing entries and exits based on historical tendencies
Combining seasonality with technical or fundamental analysis
Gaining a long-term probabilistic market perspective
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is based on historical data and does not predict future price movements.
It should be used as a statistical reference tool, not as a standalone trading signal.
VolatilityCone by ImpliedVolatility ProVolatilityCone by ImpliedVolatility Pro
VolatilityCone by ImpliedVolatility Pro is a forward-looking volatility projection tool that visualizes expected price ranges based on implied volatility.
It draws a volatility cone starting from a user-defined date and projects statistically expected price boundaries into the future using standard deviation theory.
🔍 What does this indicator do?
This indicator calculates and plots price ranges that represent ±1, ±2, and ±3 standard deviations from a starting price, based on implied volatility.
The result is a cone-shaped projection that shows where price is statistically likely to move over time.
In addition, the indicator calculates a Z-Score, showing how far the current price deviates from the expected mean in volatility terms.
📐 Key Features
→ Forward projection based on implied volatility
→ Supports up to 3 standard deviation levels
→ Optional display of half standard deviation levels
→ Manually enter implied volatility or automatically fetch IV from another symbol (e.g. VIX)
→ Custom Start Date
→ The cone starts exactly at the selected date
→ Ideal for earnings, events, or cycle-based analysis
→ Displays the statistical mean price
→ Z-Score indicates how extreme the current price is relative to the cone
📊 How to Use
Price inside the cone
→ Normal volatility behavior
Price near ±1σ
→ Typical volatility range
Price near ±2σ or ±3σ
→ Statistically stretched or extreme conditions
Positive Z-Score
→ Price trading above the mean
Negative Z-Score
→ Price trading below the mean
This makes the indicator useful for:
→ Volatility analysis
→ Mean reversion strategies
→ Risk assessment
→ Event-based forecasting
→ Options-related analysis
⚙️ Notes & Disclaimer
This indicator is not a prediction tool, but a statistical projection
It assumes volatility follows a square-root-of-time model
Best used as a context tool, not as a standalone trading signal
Unmitigated Liquidity ZonesUnmitigated Liquidity Zones
Description:
Unmitigated Liquidity Zones is a professional-grade Smart Money Concepts (SMC) tool designed to visualize potential "draws on liquidity" automatically.
Unlike standard Support & Resistance indicators, this script focuses exclusively on unmitigated price levels — Swing Highs and Swing Lows that price has not yet revisited. These levels often harbor resting liquidity (Stop Losses, Buy/Sell Stops) and act as magnets for market makers.
How it works:
Detection: The script identifies significant Pivot Points based on your customizable length settings.
Visualization: It draws a line extending forward from the pivot, labeled with the exact Price and the Volume generated at that specific swing.
Mitigation Logic: The moment price "sweeps" or touches a level, the script treats the liquidity as "collected" and automatically removes the line and label from the chart. This keeps your workspace clean and focused only on active targets.
Key Features:
Dynamic Cleanup: Old levels are removed instantly upon testing. No chart clutter.
Volume Context: Displays the volume (formatted as K/M/B) of the pivot candle. This helps you distinguish between weak structure and strong institutional levels.
High Visibility: customizable bold lines and clear labels with backgrounds, designed to be visible on any chart theme.
Performance: Optimized using Pine Script v6 arrays to handle hundreds of levels without lag.
How to trade with this:
Targets: Use the opposing liquidity pools (Green lines for shorts, Red lines for longs) as high-probability Take Profit levels.
Reversals (Turtle Soup): Wait for price to sweep a bold liquidity line. If price aggressively reverses after taking the line, it indicates a "Liquidity Grab" setup.
Magnets: Price tends to gravitate toward "old" unmitigated levels.
Settings:
Pivot Length: Sensitivity of the swing detection (default: 20). Higher values find more significant/long-term levels.
Limit: Maximum number of active lines to prevent memory overload.
Visuals: Toggle Price/Volume labels, adjust line thickness and text size.

Delta Price Range BandsThis indicator uses the historical price delta range analysis method, perhaps known to some as HPDR thanks to YouTuber Krown.
To test the method and it's usability, I programmed my own version and put some more features into it, like a preview median price feature.
Seasonality Scanner by thedatalayers.comThe Seasonality Scanner automatically detects seasonal patterns by scanning a user-defined number of past years (e.g., the last 10 years).
Based on this historical window, the indicator identifies the strongest seasonal tendency for the currently selected date range.
The scanner evaluates all valid seasonal windows using two filters:
• Hit Rate - the percentage of profitable years
• Average Return - the highest mean performance across the analyzed period
The best-scoring seasonal setup is displayed directly on the chart, including the exact start and end dates of the identified pattern for the chosen time range.
Users can define the period they want to analyze, and the indicator will automatically determine which seasonal window performed best over the selected history.
Recommended Settings (Standard Use)
For optimal and consistent results, the following settings are recommended:
• Search Window: 20-30
• Minimum Length: 5
• Time Period: from 2015 onward
• US Election Cycle: All Years
These settings provide a balanced and reliable baseline to detect meaningful seasonal tendencies across markets.
This indicator helps traders understand when recurring seasonal patterns typically occur and how they may align with ongoing market conditions.
This indicator is intended to be used exclusively on the daily timeframe, as all calculations are based on daily candles.
Using it on lower timeframes may result in inaccurate or misleading seasonal readings.
Seasonality Calculation Tool by thedatalayers.comThe Seasonality Calculation Tool is designed to analyze and evaluate the strength of any seasonal pattern detected by the Seasonality Indicator.
While the Seasonality Indicator displays the historical seasonal curve, this tool goes one step further by examining how reliable and consistent that curve truly is.
The tool checks whether a seasonal pattern is strong, distorted by a few outlier years, or statistically meaningful. It calculates the average return within the selected seasonal window and highlights how accurate or robust the pattern has been over the evaluated period.
To support manual confirmation and deeper analysis, the tool also visualizes the seasonal windows directly on the chart. This allows traders to review past occurrences and backtest the pattern themselves to validate the quality of the signal.
The Seasonality Calculation Tool is an ideal complement to the main Seasonality Indicator, helping traders identify high-quality, data-driven seasonal tendencies and avoid misleading or weak seasonal patterns.
This script is intended to be used exclusively on the daily timeframe, as all calculations rely on daily candle data.
The settings are intuitive and easy to adjust, allowing users to quickly evaluate any seasonal window displayed by the Seasonality Indicator.
Seasonality by thedatalayers.comThe Seasonality Indicator calculates the average historical performance of the currently selected asset by analyzing a user-defined number of past years (e.g., the last 10 years).
The number of years included in the calculation can be adjusted directly in the settings panel.
Based on this historical window, the indicator creates an average seasonal curve, which represents how the market typically behaved during each part of the year.
This averaged curve acts as a forecast for the upcoming months, highlighting periods where the market has shown a consistent tendency in the past.
Traders can use this seasonal projection to identify times of higher statistical likelihood for upward or downward movement.
The indicator works especially well when combined with the Seasonality Analysis Tool, which helps identify specific historical windows and strengthens overall seasonal decision-making.
This indicator must be used exclusively on the daily timeframe, as all calculations are based on daily candle data.
Other timeframes will not display accurate seasonal structures.
The Seasonality Indicator provides a clear, data-driven view of recurring annual patterns and allows traders to better understand when historical tendencies may influence future price action.

USDT Market Cap Change [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated stablecoin market analysis tool that tracks USDT market capitalization changes across daily and 60-day periods with statistical normalization and gradient intensity visualization. Utilizing z-score methodology for overbought/oversold detection and dynamic color gradients reflecting change magnitude, this indicator delivers institutional-grade market liquidity assessment through stablecoin flow analysis. The system's dual-timeframe approach combined with statistical normalization provides comprehensive market sentiment measurement based on capital inflows and outflows from the dominant stablecoin.
🔶 Advanced Market Cap Tracking Framework
Implements daily USDT market capitalization monitoring with dual-period change calculations measuring both 1-day and 60-day net capital flows. The system retrieves real-time CRYPTOCAP:USDT data on daily timeframe resolution, calculating absolute dollar changes to quantify stablecoin supply expansion or contraction as primary market liquidity indicator.
// Core Market Cap Analysis
USDT = request.security("CRYPTOCAP:USDT", "D", close)
USDT_60D_Change = USDT - USDT
USDT_1D_Change = USDT - USDT
🔶 Dynamic Gradient Intensity System
Features sophisticated color gradient engine that intensifies visual representation based on change magnitude relative to recent extremes. The system normalizes current 60-day change against configurable lookback period maximum, applying gradient strength calculation to transition colors from neutral tones through progressively intense blues (negative) or reds (positive) based on flow direction and magnitude.
🔶 Statistical Z-Score Normalization Engine
Implements comprehensive z-score calculation framework that normalizes 60-day market cap changes using rolling mean and standard deviation for objective overbought/oversold determination. The system applies statistical normalization over configurable periods, enabling cross-temporal comparison and threshold-based regime identification independent of absolute market cap levels.
// Z-Score Normalization
Change_Mean = ta.sma(USDT_60D_Change, Normalization_Length)
Change_StdDev = ta.stdev(USDT_60D_Change, Normalization_Length)
Z_Score = Change_StdDev > 0 ? (USDT_60D_Change - Change_Mean) / Change_StdDev : 0.0
🔶 Multi-Tier Threshold Detection System
Provides four-level regime classification including standard overbought (+1.5σ), standard oversold (-1.5σ), extreme overbought (+2.5σ), and extreme oversold (-2.5σ) thresholds with configurable adjustment. The system identifies market liquidity extremes when stablecoin inflows or outflows reach statistically significant levels, indicating potential market turning points or trend exhaustion.
🔶 Dual-Timeframe Flow Visualization
Features layered area plots displaying both 60-day strategic flows and 1-day tactical movements with distinct color coding for instant flow direction assessment. The system overlays short-term daily changes on longer-term 60-day trends, enabling traders to identify divergences between tactical and strategic capital flows into or out of stablecoin reserves.
🔶 Gradient Color Psychology Framework
Implements intuitive color scheme where red gradients indicate capital inflow (bullish for crypto as USDT supply expands for buying) and blue gradients show capital outflow (bearish as USDT is redeemed). The intensity progression from pale to vivid colors communicates flow magnitude, with extreme colors signaling statistically significant liquidity events requiring attention.
🔶 Background Zone Highlighting System
Provides subtle background coloring when z-score breaches overbought or oversold thresholds, creating visual alerts without obscuring primary data. The system applies translucent red backgrounds during overbought conditions and blue during oversold states, enabling instant regime recognition across chart timeframes.
🔶 Configurable Normalization Architecture
Features adjustable gradient lookback and statistical normalization periods enabling optimization across different market cycles and trading timeframes. The system allows traders to calibrate sensitivity by modifying the window used for maximum change detection (gradient) and mean/standard deviation calculation (z-score), adapting to volatile or stable market regimes.
🔶 Market Liquidity Interpretation Framework
Tracks USDT supply changes as proxy for overall cryptocurrency market liquidity conditions, where expanding market cap indicates fresh capital entering crypto markets and contracting cap suggests capital flight. The system provides leading indicator properties as large stablecoin inflows often precede major market rallies while outflows may signal distribution phases.
🔶 Why Choose USDT Market Cap Change ?
This indicator delivers sophisticated stablecoin flow analysis through statistical normalization and gradient visualization of USDT market capitalization changes. Unlike traditional market sentiment indicators that rely on price action alone, this tool measures actual capital flows through the dominant stablecoin, providing objective assessment of market liquidity conditions. The combination of dual-timeframe tracking, z-score normalization for overbought/oversold detection, and intensity-based gradient coloring makes it essential for traders seeking macro-level market assessment and regime change detection across cryptocurrency markets. The indicator excels at identifying liquidity extremes that often precede major market reversals or trend accelerations.
Magical Thirteen Turns - The Greedy SnakeThe number 9 appears:
Meaning: Warning signal. The rise may encounter resistance and a cautious pullback is about to begin.
Operation: Consider reducing your holdings (selling a portion) to lock in profits and avoid experiencing wild fluctuations.
The number 13 appears:
Meaning: Strong sell signal. The upward momentum is likely to be exhausted, which is also known as "bull exhaustion".
Operation: It is recommended to liquidate your positions or significantly reduce them. Short sell (if you are trading contracts).
