Bollinger Momentum Deviation | QuantEdgeBIntroducing Bollinger Momentum Deviation (BMD) by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
Bollinger Momentum Deviation (BMD) is a trend-following momentum indicator designed to identify strong price movements while also detecting overbought and oversold conditions in ranging markets.
By normalizing a simple moving average (SMA) with standard deviation, BMD captures momentum shifts, helping traders make data-driven entries and exits. In trending conditions, it acts as a momentum confirmation tool, while in ranging markets, it highlights mean-reversion opportunities for profit-taking or re-accumulation.
BMD combines the best of both worlds—a robust trend-following framework with an integrated volatility-based overbought/oversold detection system.
____
✨ Key Features
🔹 Momentum & Trend-Following Core
Built upon a normalized SMA with standard deviation filtering, BMD efficiently tracks price movements while reducing lag.
🔹 Overbought/Oversold Market Detection
By dynamically adjusting its thresholds based on standard deviation, it identifies high-probability reversion zones in sideways markets.
🔹 Adaptive Normalization Mechanism
Ensures consistent signal reliability across different assets and timeframes by standardizing momentum fluctuations.
🔹 Customizable Visual & Signal Settings
Includes multiple color modes, extra plots, and trend labels, making it easy to align with different trading styles.
____
📊 How It Works
1️⃣ Normalized Momentum Calculation
BMD computes a normalized momentum score using a simple moving average (SMA) combined with a standard deviation (SD) filter to create dynamic upper and lower bands. The final momentum score is derived by normalizing the price within this volatility-adjusted range. This normalization makes momentum readings comparable across different price levels and timeframes.
2️⃣ Standard Deviation Filtering
Unlike traditional approaches where standard deviation is derived from price as is the first SD, BMDs second SD is driven from the normalized momentum oscillator itself. This allows for a volatility-adjusted smoothing mechanism that adapts to momentum shifts rather than raw price fluctuations. This ensures that the trend signals remain dynamic and responsive, filtering out short-term noise while keeping the core momentum structure intact. By applying standard deviation directly to the oscillator, BMD achieves a self-regulating feedback loop, improving accuracy in both trending and range-bound conditions.
3️⃣ Signal Generation
✅ Long Signal → Upper BMD SD > Long Threshold (83)
❌ Short Signal → Lower BMD SD < Short Threshold (60)
📌 Additional Features:
- Overbought Zone → Values above 130 indicate price extension.
- Oversold Zone → Values below -10 suggest potential accumulation.
- Momentum Labels → Optional "Long" and "Short" markers for clear trade identification.
____
👥 Who Should Use It?
✅ Trend Traders & Momentum Followers → Use BMD as a confirmation tool for strong directional trends.
✅ Range & Mean Reversion Traders → Identify reversal opportunities at extreme BMD levels.
✅ Swing & Position Traders → Utilize normalized momentum shifts for data-driven entries & exits.
✅ Systematic & Quant Traders → Implement BMD within algorithmic frameworks for adaptive market detection.

MTF Round Level Reversal [RunRox]🧲 MTF Round Level Reversal is an indicator designed to highlight price levels on the chart where the market encountered significant resistance or support at round numbers, failing to break through large clusters of orders.
In many cases, price revisits these round-number levels to absorb the remaining liquidity, offering potential reversal or continuation trade opportunities.
✏️ EXAMPLE
Here’s an example demonstrating how this indicator works and how its logic is structured:
As shown in the screenshot above, price encountered resistance at round-number levels, clearly reacting off these areas.
Afterward, the market pulled back, presenting opportunities to enter trades targeting these previously established open levels.
This logic is based on the observation that price often seeks to revisit these open round-number levels due to the residual liquidity resting there.
While effective across various markets, this indicator performs particularly well with stocks or assets priced at higher values.
For a level to appear on the chart, price must first encounter a round-number value and clearly reverse from it, leaving a visible reaction on the chart. After this occurs, the indicator will mark this level as fully formed and display it as an active reversal area.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Timeframe – Choose any timeframe from which you’d like the indicator to source level data.
🔷 Period – Defines the number of candles required on both sides (left and right) to confirm and fully form a level.
🔷 Rounding Level – Adjusts price rounding precision when detecting levels (from 0.0001 up to 5000).
🔷 Color – Customize the color and transparency of displayed levels.
🔷 Line Style – Select the desired line style for level visualization.
🔷 Label Size – Set the font size for the level labels displayed on the chart.
🔷 Move Label to the Right – Move level labels to the right side of the screen for better visibility.
🔷 Label Offset – Specifies how many bars labels should be offset from the chart’s right edge.
🔷 Delete Filled Level – Automatically removes levels from the chart after they’ve been revisited or filled.
🔷 Calculation Bars – Determines the number of recent bars considered when calculating and identifying levels.
🔶 There are numerous ways to apply this indicator in your trading strategy. You can look for trades targeting these round-number levels or identify reversal setups forming at these high-liquidity zones. The key insight is understanding that these levels represent significant liquidity areas, which price frequently revisits and retests.
We greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions to further improve and enhance this indicator!

Dynamic Timeframe Trend AnalyzerPurpose and Core Logic
This indicator automatically adjusts its calculations based on the current chart’s timeframe, allowing traders to analyze trends, momentum, and mean reversion opportunities without manually changing indicator settings for each interval. It detects potential long or short setups by combining several techniques:
Dynamic Timeframe Factor
The script compares the current timeframe to a base (e.g., 5 minutes) and calculates a “factor” to scale certain parameters, such as EMA lengths or ATR settings. This reduces the need to reconfigure indicators when switching timeframes.
Regime Detection
It uses ADX (Average Directional Index) to classify the market as strongly trending, moderately trending, choppy, or in a potential mean-reversion phase.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is also monitored for extreme levels (e.g., overbought/oversold) to detect potential reversal zones.
Volume is compared to a moving average to confirm or refute volatility conditions.
Trend & Mean Reversion Signals
EMA Alignment (8/21/55) helps identify bullish or bearish phases (strong bull if all EMAs align upward, strong bear if aligned downward).
For mean reversion opportunities, the script checks if ADX is sufficiently low (indicating weak or no trend) while price and RSI are at extreme levels—suggesting a snapback or countertrend move may occur.
Dynamic Stop Loss & Take Profit
Uses ATR (Average True Range) to set initial stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels, then adjusts these levels further with “regime multipliers” based on whether the market is in a high-volatility trend or a quieter mean-reversion environment.
This approach aims to place stops and targets in a more adaptive way, reflecting current market conditions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Visual Aids
Color-coded chart backgrounds (e.g., greenish for bullish trend, red for bearish, yellow/orange for mean reversion).
Triangles to show recent bullish/bearish signals.
A status table in the top-right corner (optional) displaying key metrics like ADX, RSI, dynamic thresholds, current SL/TP levels, and whether a stop loss has been hit.
How It Works Internally
ADX & Dynamic Thresholds:
A moving average (adx_mean) and standard deviation (adx_std) of the ADX are calculated over a lookback period to define “strong” vs. “weak” ADX thresholds.
This allows the script to adapt to changing volatility and trend strength in different markets or timeframes.
Mean Reversion Criteria:
The indicator checks if price deviates significantly from its own moving average, alongside RSI extremes. If ADX suggests no strong directional push (i.e., the market is “quiet”), it may classify conditions as mean-reverting.
Regime Multipliers:
Once the script identifies the market regime (e.g., strong uptrend, choppy, mean reversion), it applies different multipliers to the user-defined base values for stop-loss and take-profit. For instance, strong trending conditions might allow for wider stops to handle volatility, while mean reversion signals use tighter exits to capture quick reversals.
How to Use It
Timeframe Agnostic
Simply apply it to any timeframe (from 1-minute up to daily or weekly). The “Dynamic Timeframe Factor” will scale the indicator parameters automatically.
Look for Buy/Sell Triangles
When the script detects a valid bullish trend shift or a mean-reversion long setup, it plots a green triangle under the price bar. Conversely, it plots a red triangle above the price bar for bearish or mean-reversion short setups.
Check the Status Table
The table in the top-right corner summarizes the indicator’s current readings: ADX, RSI, volume trends, and the market regime classification.
The table also shows if a stop loss has been hit (SL Hit) and displays recommended SL/TP levels if a signal is active.
Stop Loss & Take Profit
The script plots lines for SL and TP on your chart after a new signal. These lines are automatically adjusted based on ATR, volume conditions, and ADX-derived multipliers.
Mean Reversion vs. Trend-Following
If you see a “Mean Rev” state in the table or the background turning yellow/orange, it suggests potential countertrend trades. Conversely, “STRONG BULL” or “STRONG BEAR” states favor momentum-based entries in the prevailing direction.
Originality & Benefits
Adaptive to Timeframe: Many indicators require reconfiguration when switching from short to long timeframes. This script automates that process using the “timeframe factor” logic.
Regime-Based SL/TP: Instead of fixed risk parameters, the script dynamically tunes stop and target levels depending on whether the market is trending or reverting.
Comprehensive Market View: It combines multiple factors—ADX, RSI, volume, moving averages, and volatility measurements—into a single, integrated framework that categorizes the market regime in real time.
Best Practices & Notes
Timeframes: It typically performs well on intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1H) but can also be used for swing trading on 4H or Daily charts.
Settings: The defaults are a good starting point, but you can adjust the base ATR multiplier or ADX lookbacks if you prefer a different balance between sensitivity and stability.
Risk Management: This indicator is not a guarantee of any specific results. Always use proper risk management (position sizing, stop-losses, and diversified strategies).
Alert Conditions: Built-in alert conditions can notify you when a new long or short signal appears, or when a stop loss is triggered.
Multi Indicator Buy/Sell with BacktestThis backtest indicator allows you to configure up to 4 different indicators and set buy/sell levels for each one, then back test how well your strategy would have worked over a given time period.
Opening Price Deviations with AlertsOverview
The Timeframe Opening Price Deviations indicator helps traders visualize how price deviates from a key reference point—the opening price of a selected timeframe (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly). It calculates upper and lower deviation levels based on a percentage step and plots these levels on the chart. This can help traders identify potential areas of support and resistance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
Opening Price Reference:
The script retrieves the opening price of the selected timeframe (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
Deviation Levels Calculation:
Five upper and lower deviation levels are calculated based on a percentage step input by the user.
Each level is determined by multiplying the opening price by (1 ± step size).
Visualization
The indicator plots the calculated levels as horizontal lines above and below the opening price.
Labels appear only on the latest bar, displaying the exact price level along with its percentage deviation from the opening price.
User has the option to turn on/off or change the bar colours. If price is within the 1st deviation lines that's considered neutral coloured orange as default. If price is above/below the first deviation levels the bar colours will be green or red.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential Use Cases
Support & Resistance Zones 🟢🔴
The deviation levels can act as potential areas where price may reverse or consolidate based on historical price behaviour.
Breakout & Reversion Strategies 📈📉
If price breaks above an upper deviation level, it could indicate momentum continuation.
If price rejects from a level, it might suggest a mean reversion opportunity.
Trend Strength Analysis 🔍
The distance between the price and deviation levels can help traders assess whether a trend is strong (moving away from the opening price) or weak (hovering near the opening price).
Intraday vs. Multi-Timeframe Perspective 🕒
By selecting different timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly), traders can align intraday price movements with higher timeframe reference points for added confluence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customization Options
Timeframe Selection: Choose between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly opening prices.
Deviation Step (%): Adjust the step size to control the spacing between deviation levels.
Colour Bars: User Is able to change the colour of the bars.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alerts
This Indicator also has alerts for when price crosses above/below a deviation line. It will tell you the ticker, price and time
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Notes
This indicator is purely for technical analysis and should not be used as a standalone trading system. It works best when combined with price action, volume analysis, or other indicators of you're choosing to refine trade decisions.

Chaikin Money Flow with EnhancementsThis enhanced version of the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is designed to help traders better understand market sentiment by visualizing momentum shifts and trends based on volume-weighted accumulation and distribution.
CMF Calculation: The CMF line is calculated using the typical CMF formula, which compares the close price to the high/low range, weighted by volume.
Fading Color Zones: Green and red fading zones are added between the CMF line and the zero line. Green represents bullish momentum (CMF above zero), and red represents bearish momentum (CMF below zero). These zones highlight key shifts in market sentiment.
Cross Detection: The indicator detects when the CMF crosses above or below the zero line, signaling potential trend changes. The price and CMF values at the time of the cross are stored and can be used for further analysis.
Average Line: A configurable moving average of the CMF is plotted to provide a smoothed trendline, helping traders identify the overall direction of market sentiment.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to enhance their technical analysis by incorporating volume-weighted momentum indicators and identifying trend reversals more clearly.

Wick Highlighter- Description
This script is a custom Multi-Wick Zone Highlighter that detects and highlights significant candle wicks on your chart. It is designed to work across multiple timeframes and uses time‑anchored boxes to “stick” to the original wick levels, ensuring that highlighted zones remain fixed even when panning or zooming the chart.
- Key Features
Wick Detection:
The script examines each candle to determine whether its upper or lower wick exceeds a user‑defined minimum size. Only wicks that meet or exceed this threshold are considered significant and trigger the creation of a highlight zone.
Zone Creation and Removal:
When a qualifying wick is detected, the script creates a colored zone (using anchored boxes) that spans from the wick tip to the candle’s body (top for upper wicks and bottom for lower wicks). Each zone remains visible until it is “filled” by subsequent price action. The fill condition is determined by a user‑adjustable fill percentage. For example, setting the fill percentage to 100% will remove the zone once the next candle’s high (for an upper wick) or low (for a lower wick) reaches the corresponding body level.
Multiple Zones:
This indicator supports multiple simultaneous zones. Each wick that qualifies is independently tracked and will not be overwritten by a later candle unless its fill condition is met. Separate flags ensure that if a candle fills an existing zone on one side, it does not create a new zone on that same side, maintaining clarity on your chart.
Time-Anchored Positioning:
To keep zones properly anchored even when you change timeframes or pan the chart, the script uses the bar’s time value rather than the bar index. This ensures that each zone remains fixed to the specific price levels where the wick was detected.
- Usage Notes
User-Adjustable Inputs:
Minimum Wick Size (Points): Set the minimum wick length to trigger a zone.
Wick Fill Percentage (%): Set the percentage into the wick at which the zone is considered filled and will be removed.
Zone Extend Bars: Control how far to the right (in terms of bars) each zone is extended.
Ideal For:
Traders who wish to visually identify key price zones based on significant candle wicks, and who require these zones to remain fixed and clear on the chart until they are actively filled by subsequent price movement.
Liquidations Levels [RunRox]📈 Liquidation Levels is an indicator designed to visualize key price levels on the chart, highlighting potential reversal points where liquidity may trigger significant price movements.
Liquidity is essential in trading - price action consistently moves from one liquidity area to another. We’ve created this free indicator to help traders easily identify and visualize these liquidity zones on their charts.
📌 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator works by marking visible highs and lows, points widely recognized by traders. Because many traders commonly place their stop-loss orders beyond these visible extremes, significant liquidity accumulates behind these points. By analyzing trading volume and visible extremes, the indicator estimates areas where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity pools) are likely positioned, giving traders valuable insights into potential market moves.
As shown in the screenshot above, the price aggressively moved toward Sell-Side liquidity. After sweeping this liquidity level for the second time, it reversed and began targeting Buy-Side liquidity. This clearly demonstrates how price moves from one liquidity pool to another, continually seeking out liquidity to fuel its next directional move.
As shown in the screenshot, price levels with fewer anticipated trader stop-losses are indicated by less vibrant, faded colors. When the lines become more saturated and vivid, it signals that sufficient liquidity - in the form of clustered stop-losses has accumulated, potentially attracting price movement toward these areas.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔹 Period – Increasing this setting makes the marked highs and lows more significant, filtering out minor price swings.
🔹 Low Volume – Select the color displayed for low-liquidity levels.
🔹 High Volume – Select the color displayed for high-liquidity levels.
🔹 Levels to Display – Choose between 1 and 15 nearest liquidity levels to be shown on the chart.
🔹 Volume Sensitivity – Adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to volume data on the chart.
🔹 Show Volume – Enable or disable the display of volume values next to each liquidity level.
🔹 Max Age – Limits displayed liquidity levels to those not older than the specified number of bars.
✅ HOW TO USE
One method of using this indicator is demonstrated in the screenshot above.
Price reached a high-liquidity level and showed an initial reaction. We then waited for a second confirmation - a liquidity sweep followed by a clear market structure break - to enter the trade.
Our target is set at the liquidity accumulated below, with the stop-loss placed behind the manipulation high responsible for the liquidity sweep.
By following this approach, you can effectively identify trading opportunities using this indicator.
🔶 We’ve made every effort to create an indicator that’s as simple and user-friendly as possible. We’ll continue to improve and enhance it based on your feedback and suggestions in the future.
Forward-Backward Exponential Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Forward-Backward Exponential Oscillator is a normalized oscillator able to estimate directional shifts by making use of a unique "Forward-Backward Filtering" calculation method for Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
This unique method provides a smooth normalized representation of the price with reduced lag.
🔶 USAGE
The oscillator consists of 2 series of values derived from normalizing the sum of each EMA's change across the selected user lookback window (length), one less reactive computed forward (in grey), and the other re-calculated backward for each bar (in blue).
Given this "Forward-Backwards" calculation method, we are able to produce a more reactive oscillator compared to the same operation done on a simple double-smoothed EMA.
The interaction between these 2 values (Forward Value and Backward Value) can highlight shifts in market momentum over time.
When the Forward Value is above the Backward Value, the price is seen moving up, and likewise, when the Forward EMA is below, the Backward EMA price is seen moving down.
The indicator specifically displays the difference between values through a histogram located at the 50 mark on the oscillator.
🔹 Projection
We project the approximated future values of the forward value in front of the current line. This helps show the data that is being used for the creation of the Forward Value.
🔹 Length & Smoothing
The Smoothing Input controls the length of the EMAs which are analyzed.
The Length Input controls the lookback for the sum of changes from the EMAs.
Displayed below is a comparison of varying input sizes and their results.
As seen above:
A larger length input will result in slower, gradual movement by the oscillator since the summed values are from a larger lookback.
A higher smoothing setting will result in smoother EMAs, leading to a smoother oscillator output that is less contaminated by noisy variations.
Note: The length of the projection is tied to the "length" input, to get a longer projection, a larger length is required.
🔶 DETAILS
Forward-backward filtering is a method applied to LTI (linear time-invariant) filters to provide a filter response with zero-phase shift, this has the visible effect of shifting a regular causal filter response to the right, making it appear has have effectively 0 lag.
The name of this operation indicates that the filter is first calculated forward over a series of values (like regular moving averages), then calculated backward, using the previous output as input for the filter, effectively applying the filter twice.
While this operation effectively allows us to obtain a zero-lag response when applied to an EMA, it is subject to repainting, as this indicator only returns the normalized sum of changes of the forward-backward EMA, which does not introduce any repainting behaviors in the final output of the oscillator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Change the calculation lookback length for the oscillator.
Smoothing: Alter the smoothness of the back-end EMA calculations.
Source: Change the source input used for the indicator.
[TehThomas] - ICT Volume ImbalanceThis script is a Volume Imbalance (VI) detector and visualizer for use on the TradingView platform. The goal of the script is to automatically identify areas where there are significant imbalances in the volume of trades between consecutive candlesticks and visually highlight these areas. These imbalances can provide traders with valuable insights about the market’s current condition, often signaling potential reversal or continuation points based on price and volume action.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Concept of Volume Imbalances
Volume imbalances are a critical concept in the ICT trading methodology. They refer to situations where there is an unusual or significant difference in volume between two consecutive candlesticks, which might indicate institutional or large player activity. According to ICT principles, these imbalances can show us areas of market inefficiency or potential price manipulation. By identifying these imbalances, traders can gain an edge in understanding where the market is likely to move next.
Bullish and Bearish Volume Imbalances:
Bullish Volume Imbalance: This occurs when there is a strong increase in buying pressure, typically indicated by a higher volume on a candle that closes significantly above the previous one, often leaving a gap or larger price movement. The market could be preparing to push higher, and the volume shows a clear shift in buying demand.
Bearish Volume Imbalance:
Conversely, a bearish imbalance occurs when there is a strong increase in selling pressure, typically signaled by a candle that closes significantly lower than the previous one, again with higher volume. This could indicate that large players are offloading positions, and the price is likely to drop further.
Key Features and Functions of the Script
The script automates the process of detecting these volume imbalances and visually marking them on a price chart. Let’s explore its functionality in detail.
1. Inputs Section
The script allows for significant customization through its input options, which help traders adjust the detection and visualization of volume imbalances based on their individual preferences and trading style. Below are the details:
lookback (250 bars): This input specifies the number of bars (or candles) the script should look back when analyzing the volume imbalance. By setting this to 250, the user is looking at the last 250 bars on the chart to detect any significant volume imbalances. This period is adjustable between 50 to 500 bars.
volumeThreshold (1.0 multiplier): This input helps set the sensitivity for identifying volume imbalances. The script compares the volume of the current candle with the previous one, and if the current volume exceeds the previous volume by this threshold multiplier (in this case, 1.0 means at least equal to the previous volume), then it triggers an imbalance. Users can adjust the multiplier to suit different market conditions.
showBoxes (true/false): This toggle determines whether the boxes representing volume imbalances are drawn on the chart. When enabled, the script visually highlights the imbalances with colored boxes.
fillBaseColor (orange with 80% opacity): This is the color setting for the background of the imbalance boxes. A softer color (like orange with opacity) ensures the imbalance is highlighted without obscuring the price action.
borderColor (gray): The color of the border around the imbalance boxes. This adds a visual distinction to make the imbalance areas more visible.
borderWidth (1 pixel): This controls the width of the box's border to adjust how prominent it appears.
rightOffset (30 bars): This input controls how far the imbalance box extends to the right on the chart. It helps users anticipate the potential continuation of the imbalance beyond the current candle.
allowWickOverlap (true/false): This setting allows imbalances to be identified even if the wicks of the two consecutive candlesticks overlap. If set to false, only imbalances where the bodies of the candlesticks don’t overlap are considered.
showBrokenBoxes (true/false): If enabled, once a volume imbalance no longer holds true (i.e., the price breaks through the box), the box is marked as "broken." If disabled, the box is deleted when the imbalance condition no longer applies.
brokenBoxColor (red): This controls the color of the box when it is broken, which can be used as a visual cue that the imbalance was invalidated or no longer valid for analysis.
2. Volume Imbalance Function
This is the core function of the script, where the logic to detect bullish and bearish volume imbalances is implemented.
Bullish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the low of the current candle is greater than the high of the previous candle. This suggests that the market is moving upward with buying pressure.
The second condition checks whether the volume of the current candle is higher than the previous candle by the volumeThreshold multiplier. If both conditions are satisfied, a bullish imbalance is detected.
Bearish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests downward price action with selling pressure.
The second condition checks whether the current volume exceeds the previous volume by the threshold
Allow Wick Overlap: If allowWickOverlap is set to true, the script will still detect imbalances if the wicks of the two candles overlap (common in volatile markets). If false, imbalances are only considered if the wicks do not overlap.
3. Box Creation and Management
When a volume imbalance is detected, the script creates a box on the chart:
The bullish imbalance box is drawn using the minimum of the open and close of the current bar as the top boundary and the maximum of the open and close of the previous bar as the bottom boundary.
Conversely, the bearish imbalance box is drawn in reverse, using the maximum of the current bar’s open and close as the top boundary and the minimum of the previous bar’s open and close as the bottom boundary.
Once the box is created, it is displayed on the chart with the specified background color, border color, and width.
4. Processing Existing Boxes
After detecting a new imbalance and drawing a box, the script checks whether the box should still remain on the chart:
If the price moves beyond the boundaries of the imbalance box, the box is marked as broken (if showBrokenBoxes is enabled), and its color is changed to red, signifying that the imbalance is no longer valid.
If the box remains intact (i.e., the price has not broken the defined boundaries), the script keeps the box extended to the right as the market continues to evolve.
5. Removing Outdated Boxes
Lastly, the script removes boxes that are older than the specified lookback period. For example, if a box was created 250 bars ago, it will be deleted after that period. This ensures the chart stays clean and only focuses on relevant imbalances.
Why This Script is Useful for Traders
This script is extremely valuable for traders, especially those following the ICT methodology, because it automates the process of detecting market inefficiencies or imbalances that might signal future price action. Here’s why it’s particularly useful:
Identifying Key Areas of Interest: Volume imbalances often point to areas where institutional or large-scale traders have entered the market. These areas could provide clues about the next significant move in the market.
Visualizing Market Structure: By automatically drawing boxes around volume imbalances, the script helps traders visually identify potential areas of support, resistance, or turning points, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.
Time Efficiency: Instead of manually analyzing each candlestick and volume spike, this script does the heavy lifting, saving traders valuable time and allowing them to focus on other aspects of their strategy.
Enhanced Trade Entries and Exits: By understanding where volume imbalances are occurring, traders can time their entries (buying during bullish imbalances and selling during bearish ones) and exits (as imbalances break) more effectively, thus improving their chances of success.
Conclusion
In summary, this script is a powerful tool for traders looking to implement volume imbalance strategies based on the ICT methodology. It automates the identification and visualization of significant imbalances in price and volume, offering traders a clear visual representation of potential market turning points. By customizing the settings, traders can tailor the script to their preferred timeframes and sensitivity, making it a flexible and effective tool for any trading strategy.

OBV Trend Bands [Alpha Extract]OBV Trend Bands 📊
The OBV Trend Bands indicator leverages On-Balance Volume (OBV) to assess trend strength and potential reversals by plotting a dynamic median line alongside upper and lower bands based on standard deviation. This tool helps traders identify overbought or oversold conditions and visualize OBV momentum relative to historical trends.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator calculates OBV, a dynamic median of OBV, and standard deviation bands to measure volume-driven momentum:
• OBV: Cumulative volume that adds or subtracts based on price direction.
• Aggregate Median: A smoothed median of OBV over a user-defined lookback period, adjusted by a minimum lookback for robustness.
• Standard Deviation Bands: Upper and lower bands derived from the scaled aggregate median, adjusted by a multiplier.
• Scaled OBV: OBV divided by a customizable scaling factor for better visualization.
Formula:
• OBV = Cumulative sum of volume (positive if price increases, negative if price decreases)
• Aggregate Median = Average of simple medians over a range from minLookbackPeriod to length
• Upper Band = Aggregate Median / Scaling Factor + StdMultiplier * StdDev
• Lower Band = Aggregate Median / Scaling Factor - StdMultiplier * StdDev
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
• OBV Line (Dynamic Color): Plotted with a color that shifts based on its position—green above the upper band (bullish), red below the lower band (bearish), and white between bands (neutral).
• Upper Band (Green): Represents the overbought threshold, lightly shaded for clarity.
• Lower Band (Red): Indicates the oversold threshold, also lightly shaded.
• Aggregate Median Line (Gray): Acts as the central trend reference.
• Fill Areas: Transparent green fill when OBV exceeds the upper band, transparent red fill when below the lower band, and no fill within the bands.
Interpretation:
• Bullish Signal: OBV rises above the upper band, suggesting strong buying pressure and potential trend continuation.
• Bearish Signal: OBV falls below the lower band, indicating selling pressure and possible trend weakness.
• Neutral Zone: OBV between bands reflects consolidation or indecision in the market.
🔶 EXAMPLES
The chart demonstrates:
• Bullish Momentum: OBV crosses above the upper band with a green line and fill, signaling robust accumulation.
• Bearish Momentum: OBV drops below the lower band with a red line and fill, indicating distribution or selling pressure.
• Reversal Points: Transitions of OBV from below the lower band to above the upper band (or vice versa) suggest potential trend shifts.
Example Snapshots:
• A sustained bullish phase where OBV remains above the upper band with consistent green coloring.
• A bearish trend change where OBV falls below the upper band hinting at weakening momentum leading to a change in trend.
🔶 SETTINGS

Volatility Based Momentum by QTX Algo SystemsVolatility Based Momentum by QTX Algo Systems
Overview
This indicator is designed to determine whether a market trend is genuinely supported by both momentum and volatility. It produces per-candle signals when a smoothed momentum oscillator is above its moving average, a Price – Moving Average Ratio confirms overall trend strength by remaining above a preset level with a positive slope, and when at least one of two distinct volatility metrics is rising. This integrated approach offers traders a consolidated and dynamic view of market energy, delivering more actionable insights than a simple merger of standard indicators.
How It Works
The indicator fuses two complementary volatility measures with dual momentum assessments to ensure robust signal generation. One volatility metric evaluates long-term market behavior by analyzing the dispersion of logarithmic price changes, while the other—derived from a Bollinger Band Width Percentile—captures recent price variability and confirms that market volatility remains above a minimum threshold. A trading signal is generated only when at least one of these volatility measures shows a sustained upward trend over several candles.
For momentum, a double‐smoothed Stochastic Momentum Index provides a refined, short-term view of price action, filtering out market noise. In addition, the PMARP serves as a confirmation tool by comparing the current price to its moving average, requiring that its value remains above a defined level with a positive slope to indicate a strong trend. Together, these elements ensure that a signal is only produced when both the market’s momentum and volatility are in alignment.
Although the components used are based on well-known technical analysis methods, the thoughtful integration of these elements creates a tool that is more than the sum of its parts. By combining long-term volatility assessment with a real-time measure of recent price variability—and by merging short-term momentum analysis with a confirmation of overall trend strength—the indicator delivers a more reliable and comprehensive view of market energy. This holistic approach distinguishes it from standard indicators.
How to Use
Traders can adjust the volatility threshold setting to tailor the indicator to their preferred market or timeframe. The indicator displays per-candle signals when both the refined momentum criteria and the dynamic volatility conditions are met. These signals are intended to be used as part of a broader trading strategy, in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for confirming entries and exits.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational purposes only and is intended to support your trading strategy. It does not guarantee performance, and past results are not indicative of future outcomes. Always use proper risk management and perform your own analysis before trading.
Continuation Opportunity Indicator by QTX Algo SystemsContinuation Opportunity Indicator by QTX Algo Systems
Overview
This indicator is designed to pinpoint key moments within an established trend when a pullback is likely just a temporary consolidation rather than a reversal. It distinguishes phases of reduced volatility—suggesting a pause or consolidation—from moments when volatility subsequently increases, confirming that the prevailing trend is resuming. This integrated approach combines multiple classical elements into a unique tool that offers traders clear insight into trend continuity.
How It Works
The indicator marries two types of volatility measurements with dual momentum assessments and a trend filter to generate continuation signals. Two complementary volatility metrics are used: one assesses long-term price dispersion to gauge overall market behavior, while the other employs a percentile-based method to capture recent variability and ensure that overall market volatility meets a minimum threshold. A critical part of the signal generation is that the pullback must occur during a period of reduced volatility, indicating consolidation, and then be followed by an increase in volatility, which confirms the resumption of the trend.
For momentum analysis, a double‐smoothed oscillator provides a refined, short-term view of price action, and a Price – Moving Average Ratio (PMARP) confirms the trend’s strength by requiring that it remains above or below a set threshold with a positive or negative slope, respectively. Signals are produced based on crossover events in the momentum oscillator that occur after a pullback, with the subsequent rise in volatility validating the trend continuation. A moving average-based trend filter further ensures that these signals align with the broader market direction.
While the individual components—volatility measures, momentum oscillators, and trend filters—are standard in technical analysis, their deliberate integration in this script results in a tool that is greater than the sum of its parts. Rather than merely merging indicators, this system is crafted to filter out false signals and clearly differentiate between temporary consolidations and genuine trend continuations. By providing a holistic view of market behavior, it offers traders actionable insight into when a pullback is simply a pause before the trend resumes.
How to Use
Traders should monitor the chart for opportunity signals. These signals indicate that a consolidation phase is ending and that the overall trend is likely to continue. Adjust the volatility parameters as needed to suit your market or timeframe, and use these signals in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm optimal entry and exit points.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational purposes only and is intended to support your trading strategy. It does not guarantee performance, and past results are not indicative of future outcomes. Always use proper risk management and perform your own analysis before trading.

Zippo Traffic v2
Zippo Traffic v2 is an advanced trend-following system that analyzes price movements to determine market direction. Not only does it generate buy and sell signals, but it also highlights uncertain market periods with yellow bars, signaling when new positions should not be opened.
How It Works
This system operates on a traffic light principle:
🟡 Yellow Bars: Indicate market uncertainty – refrain from opening new positions and exercise caution if you are already in a trade.
🟢 Green Bars: Signal a Long/Buy – indicating an uptrend.
🔴 Red Bars: Signal a Short/Sell – indicating a downtrend.
The Alligator (3 EMA) parameters (JawLen, TeethLen, LipsLen) are the only inputs that users can modify; all other technical indicators and calculations are fixed. This minimizes the risk of over-optimization and false signals, preserving the system’s core methodology.
Key Features
Neutral Zones: Unlike conventional trend-following indicators that only provide buy and sell signals, this indicator also identifies neutral areas (yellow bars) in the market.
Momentum + Trend Analysis: It combines multiple criteria to more accurately analyze the market direction.
Standard Price Data: All calculations are based on standard OHLC values. While Heikin Ashi or other candlestick styles may be used solely for enhanced visual clarity, they do not affect signal generation.
How to Use
🟢 Green Bars: Indicate a strong uptrend (Long).
🔴 Red Bars: Indicate a downtrend (Short).
🟡 Yellow Bars: Represent uncertain market conditions; avoid opening new positions during these periods.
Timeframe and Usage Recommendations
Signal quality may be poor in low-volume or illiquid securities.

Machine Learning + IchimokuIchimoku Cloud + Machine Learning Levels is an advanced indicator that merges a classic trend tool with machine-learned supply & demand zones. Combining the two can help traders identify trends and key price zones with greater confidence when both signals align!
How it Works
The Ichimoku Cloud component identifies the trend direction and momentum at a glance – it shows support/resistance areas via its cloud (Kumo) and signals potential trend changes when the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines cross. Meanwhile, the Machine Learning module analyzes historical price data to project potential support and resistance levels (displayed as horizontal lines) that the algorithm deems significant. By combining these, the script offers a two-layer confirmation: Ichimoku outlines the broader trend and equilibrium, while the ML levels pinpoint specific price levels where the price may react. For example, if price is above the Ichimoku Cloud (uptrend) and also near an ML-predicted support, the confluence of these signals strengthens the case for a bounce.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to a chart like any other TradingView script. It works on multiple asset classes (see supported list below). Once added:
Ichimoku Lines
Tenkan-sen (Blue): Short-term average reflecting recent highs/lows.
Kijun-sen (Red): Medium-term baseline for support/resistance.
Senkou Span A (Green) & Senkou Span B (Orange) form the “Cloud” (Kumo). Price above the Cloud often signals a bullish environment; price below it can signal a bearish environment.
Chikou Span (Purple): Plots current closing price shifted back, helping gauge momentum vs. past price.
ML-Predicted Support/Resistance Lines (Green/Red Horizontal Lines)
Green Horizontal Lines – Potential support zones.
Red Horizontal Lines – Potential resistance zones.
These dynamically adjust based on the specific asset and are updated as new historical data becomes available.

Why It’s Unique
This script is a fresh take on market analysis – it’s original in fusing Ichimoku’s visual trend mapping with machine learning. The Ichimoku framework provides time-proven trend insight, and the ML levels add forward-looking context specific to each asset. By uniting them, the indicator aims to filter out false signals and highlight high-probability zones. No repainting occurs: Ichimoku values are based on closed data, and ML levels are computed from historical patterns (they do not retroactively change).
Ichimoku Cloud + Machine Learning Levels offers an informative blend of old and new analysis techniques. It clearly shows where price is relative to trend (via Ichimoku) and where it might react in the future (via ML levels). Use it to gain a richer view of the market’s behavior. I hope this indicator provides valuable insights for your trading decisions. Happy trading!
