Blockcircle Price Gaps (PG)I got tired of price gap indicators that dump every zone on the chart and leave you to figure out which ones actually matter. I have tried every single one imaginable. Therefore, I built this one to score each gap automatically based on how close it is, how it formed, and whether it aligns with the trend. Instead of cryptic numbers, it just tells you: Strong, Moderate, or Weak, plus how far away it is. You see what matters, skip what doesn't. Hopefully, you find it helpful! If you have other ideas to improve it even further, please let me know, and I can integrate them. WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL AND DIFFERENT Standard gap indicators display every detected imbalance with identical visual treatment, leaving traders to manually assess which zones matter. This creates cluttered charts and analysis paralysis. This BLOCKCIRCLE PRICE GAPS (PG) indicator solves that problem with a Relevance Engine that automatically scores each gap from 0 to 100 and translates scores into plain language: Strong, Moderate, or Weak. Each zone displays its strength rating and distance from the current price, so you instantly know which gaps deserve attention and how far the price must travel to reach them. The scoring combines four factors that research shows correlate with zone effectiveness: Proximity: Gaps closer to the current price score higher because nearby zones influence immediate price action more than distant ones. Formation Volume: Gaps created during above-average volume suggest institutional activity rather than random price movement. Impulse Strength: Gaps formed by strong moves (measured against ATR) indicate genuine supply/demand imbalance rather than noise. Trend Alignment: Support gaps in uptrends and resistance gaps in downtrends receive bonus points for trading with momentum. Visual intensity reflects strength automatically. Strong zones appear darker and more prominent. Weak zones fade into the background. You see what matters without decoding numbers. HOW IT WORKS Price Gaps form when aggressive buying or selling creates an imbalance, leaving unfilled space between candles. These zones often act as support (bullish gaps below price) or resistance (bearish gaps above price) when the price returns to them. Detection uses the standard three-candle method: a bullish gap exists when the current low exceeds the high from two bars prior. A bearish gap exists when the current high falls below the low from two bars prior. What makes this implementation different is continuous relevance tracking . Each bar, every gap receives an updated score based on current conditions . As the price moves away, the proximity scores decrease. As gaps age, time decay gradually reduces their overall relevance. When capacity limits are reached, the lowest-scoring gap is removed first, ensuring your chart always shows the most actionable zones. Labels show practical information: Strength rating (Strong, Moderate, or Weak) Zone type (Support or Resistance) Distance from current price with direction (+12% means above, -8% means below) FEATURES Relevance scoring with automatic strength classification Plain-language labels showing strength and distance Color intensity that reflects zone importance Retest detection when price returns to unfilled gaps Proximity filtering to hide distant zones Age filtering to remove stale gaps Size filtering for minimum and maximum gap thresholds Relevance-based capacity management Information panel with zone counts and trend context Multiple label style options HOW THE COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER The system operates as a filtering pipeline: Size filters remove gaps that are too small (market noise) or too large (extreme events unlikely to fill). The Relevance Engine scores qualifying gaps based on proximity, volume, impulse, and trend. Gaps below the minimum score threshold are hidden. Proximity and age filters remove distant or stale gaps. When at capacity, the lowest-scoring gap is removed to make room for new detections. This layered approach ensures only the most relevant gaps appear on your chart. CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS Display Settings control how many zones appear and how they are displayed. Label Style lets you choose what information displays: Strength plus Distance (default), Strength Only, Distance Only, Score Only, or None. Relevance Engine settings include the master toggle and minimum score threshold. The Scoring Weights section allows advanced users to adjust how much each factor contributes. Filters control size thresholds, maximum distance from price, and maximum age in bars. Retest Alerts notify you when the price returns to an unfilled gap with three sensitivity options. Zone Behavior controls whether filled gaps are removed and what counts as a filled gap. HOW TO USE The default settings work well for most timeframes and markets. Strong zones (shown in brighter colors with yellow text) have multiple factors aligned and deserve the most attention. Moderate zones are worth watching. Weak zones provide context but may not produce reliable reactions. For active trading, focus on Strong and Moderate zones within 10% of the current price. These are the most likely to influence near-term price action. For swing trading, expand the Maximum Distance setting to see zones further from the price that may become relevant as trends develop. When the Retest alert fires, the price is returning to an unfilled gap. Evaluate the zone strength, look for price reaction at the zone boundary, and consider whether the move aligns with the broader trend before trading. The information panel shows: Support: Count of bullish gaps (potential buying zones) Resistance: Count of bearish gaps (potential selling zones) Unfilled: Zones not yet touched by price Avg Strength: Overall quality of visible zones Trend: Current direction based on EMA alignment LIMITATIONS Relevance scoring is probabilistic, not predictive. A Strong gap is more likely to produce a reaction based on historical patterns, but any zone can fail. The trend component uses EMA crossovers (20/50/200), which may lag in choppy markets. Distance calculations update each bar. During volatile moves, labels may briefly show different values as price swings. DEFAULTS These are the defaults, but you would adjust and calibrate it to a specific asset, as needed: Maximum Zones: 12 Label Style: Strength + Distance Minimum Score: 20 Maximum Distance: 25% Maximum Age: 300 bars If you have any questions at all, please ask away!

Smart Trader, Episode 04, by Ata Sabanci, Candles and Z ScoresSmart Trader, Episode 04 Candles and Z-Scores: A Statistical Approach to Market Analysis ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OVERVIEW This indicator applies Z-Score statistical analysis to measure how unusual current market conditions are compared to historical norms. It simultaneously analyzes five key metrics: Price, Total Volume, Buy Volume, Sell Volume, and Delta (Buy minus Sell) . The system detects 60 academically-researched market scenarios and provides visual feedback through Z-Lines (support/resistance levels), Event Markers, Trend Channels, and a comprehensive Dashboard. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CORE CONCEPT: WHY Z-SCORE? A Z-Score measures how many standard deviations a value is from its mean. In financial markets, extreme Z-Scores indicate statistically rare events that often precede significant price movements. Mathematical Formula: Z = (Current Value - Mean) / Standard Deviation Interpretation: • Z ≥ +2.0: Extremely high (occurs approximately 2.5% of the time) • Z ≥ +1.0: Above average • Z ≈ 0: Normal (near the mean) • Z ≤ -1.0: Below average • Z ≤ -2.0: Extremely low (occurs approximately 2.5% of the time) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ACADEMIC FOUNDATION This indicator is inspired by / grounded in market microstructure literature (abbreviated citations in-script) from market microstructure literature: • Price-Volume Relationship - Karpoff (1987), Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Cambridge Volume is positively correlated with price change magnitude • Order Flow Imbalance - Cont, Kukanov, Stoikov (2014), Journal of Financial Econometrics Order imbalance drives price more reliably than raw volume • Informed Trading (PIN Model) - Easley, Kiefer, O'Hara, Paperman (1996), Journal of Finance Buy/Sell imbalance reveals informed trader activity • Mixture of Distributions - Tauchen & Pitts (1983), Clark (1973) Volume clusters with volatility regimes • Volume Predictability - Gervais, Kaniel, Mingelgrin (2001) Volume shocks predict future returns • Liquidity & Order Imbalance - Chordia, Roll, Subrahmanyam (2002) Order imbalance affects short-term returns • Volume-Return Dynamics - Llorente, Michaely, Saar, Wang (2002) Speculation vs. risk-sharing patterns • Reversal vs. Continuation - Campbell, Grossman, Wang (MIT) High volume predicts lower autocorrelation ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ VOLUME ENGINE The indicator offers two methods for decomposing total volume into Buy and Sell components: Method 1: Geometry (Approximation) Uses candle structure to estimate buying and selling pressure: Buy Volume = Total Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low) Sell Volume = Total Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low) • Works on all instruments without additional data requirements • Fast calculation • Less precise than intrabar method Method 2: Intrabar (Precise) Uses Lower Timeframe (LTF) tick/second data to aggregate actual up-ticks versus down-ticks: • More accurate volume decomposition • Requires LTF data availability • Configurable LTF: 1T (tick), 1S, 15S, 1M Delta Calculation: Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Z-SCORE SYSTEM The system calculates Z-Scores for five metrics simultaneously, using a configurable lookback period (default: 20 bars): • Zp (Price Z-Score): Measures price deviation from its mean • Zv (Volume Z-Score): Measures total volume deviation • Zbuy (Buy Volume Z-Score): Measures buying pressure deviation • Zsell (Sell Volume Z-Score): Measures selling pressure deviation • ZΔ (Delta Z-Score): Measures order flow imbalance deviation Threshold Constants: • ZH (Z High) = 2.0: Extreme threshold • ZM (Z Medium) = 1.0: Moderate threshold • Z0 (Z Zero) = 0.5: Near-zero threshold Group System: The analysis window is divided into groups (default: 5 groups × 20 bars = 100 bar total window). Group numbers (1, 2, 3...) are displayed above candles when enabled, helping identify the relative age of detected levels. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Z-LINES (SUPPORT/RESISTANCE LEVELS) When any metric reaches an extreme Z-Score, the system marks that price level as a significant support or resistance zone. Detection Logic: • Upper Z-Line: Drawn from the HIGH when Z ≥ upper threshold (default +2.0) • Lower Z-Line: Drawn from the LOW when Z ≤ lower threshold (default -2.0) Multi-Metric Detection: Z-Lines can be triggered by any of the five metrics (Price, Volume, Buy, Sell, Delta). When multiple metrics trigger at similar price levels, they are clustered together into a single combined label showing all contributing metrics. Persistence: Z-Lines persist for the entire analysis window (Period × Groups bars) and are NOT removed when price touches them. This allows traders to see historical support/resistance levels that may still be relevant. Anti-Overlap System: Labels are automatically repositioned to prevent overlap. The "Label Min Gap (%)" setting controls minimum vertical separation between ALL labels (both upper and lower), ensuring readability even when multiple levels cluster together. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EVENT DETECTION ENGINE (60 SCENARIOS) The system analyzes 60 distinct market scenarios based on Z-Score combinations. Each scenario is derived from academic research and assigned a confidence score based on signal strength and alignment. Notation: • Zp = Price Z-Score • Zv = Total Volume Z-Score • Zbuy = Buy Volume Z-Score • Zsell = Sell Volume Z-Score • ZΔ = Delta Z-Score • dirP = Price direction (+1 if Zp > 0.5, -1 if Zp < -0.5,

price direction (strong aligned signals) Event 60: Trend Quality Low |Zp| ≥ ZM AND sign(ZΔ) ≠ dirP AND dirP ≠ 0 Direction: Warning (conflicting signals) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TREND CHANNEL SYSTEM The trend channel system is adapted from Smart Trader Episode 03 to provide consistent visual context for price action analysis. How It Works: • Divides the chart into blocks based on Z-Score groups • Calculates OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) for each block • Detects Higher Highs/Higher Lows (uptrend) or Lower Highs/Lower Lows (downtrend) patterns • Draws channel lines connecting block extremes • Classifies by angle: steep angles indicate trends, flat angles indicate ranges Channel Classifications: • UPTREND: Higher highs and higher lows detected • DOWNTREND: Lower highs and lower lows detected • RANGE: Channel angle below threshold (default 10 degrees) Label Information: • Trend direction (UPTREND/DOWNTREND/RANGE) • Channel boundary prices • Distance from current price (absolute and percentage) • Channel angle in degrees ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DASHBOARD The dashboard provides a comprehensive real-time view of all Z-Score metrics and detected events. Dashboard Sections: 1. Header Row Displays indicator name and current calculation mode (CLOSED or LIVE). 2. Metric Rows (Price, Total Volume, Buy Volume, Sell Volume, Delta) Each row displays: • Value: Current metric value • Z: Calculated Z-Score • Visual: Graphical Z-bar showing position relative to mean • Status: Interpretation (Extreme High, Above Avg, Normal, Below Avg, Extreme Low) • Upper: Oldest active upper Z-Line in window (Label Mirror) • Lower: Oldest active lower Z-Line in window (Label Mirror) 3. Event Detection Section • Count of triggered events out of 60 total scenarios • Market Bias: Bull/Bear/Neutral percentage with visual bar • Strongest Event: Highest confidence event currently triggered • #2 Event: Second highest confidence event 4. Footer Shows engine type (Geometry/Intrabar), Z-Score period, calculation basis, and number of valid bars. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ALERT SYSTEM The indicator uses native alertcondition() functions, keeping the settings menu clean while providing comprehensive alert options in TradingView's alert dialog. Available Alert Categories: • Master Alerts: Any event, Any bullish, Any bearish, Any warning • Single Event Alerts: Individual alerts for key events (Breakout, Climax, Divergence, etc.) • Category Alerts: Alerts by event category (Price-Volume, Order-Flow, etc.) • Confluence Alerts: 2+, 3+, 4+, or 5+ aligned events • Bias Shift Alerts: 10%, 20%, or 30% shifts in market bias • High Confidence Alerts: Events with 60%+, 70%+, 80%+, or 90%+ confidence • Divergence Alerts: Price vs Volume or Price vs Delta divergences ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DATA ACCURACY AND LIMITATIONS This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED and requires Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data for accurate calculations when using the Intrabar method. Data Accuracy Levels: • 1T (Tick): Most accurate, real volume distribution per tick • 1S (1 Second): Reasonably accurate approximation • 15S (15 Seconds): Good approximation, longer historical data available • 1M (1 Minute): Rough approximation, maximum historical data range Backtest and Replay Limitations: • Replay mode results may differ from live trading due to data availability • For longer backtest periods, use higher LTF settings (15S or 1M) • Not all symbols/exchanges support tick-level data • Crypto and Forex typically have better LTF data availability than stocks A Note on Data Access: Higher TradingView plans provide access to more historical intrabar data, which directly impacts the accuracy of volume-based calculations. More precise volume data leads to more reliable calculations. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LANGUAGE SUPPORT (TRI-LINGUAL UI) This indicator includes a built-in language switch with three interface languages : • English (EN) • Türkçe (TR) • 한국어 (KO) The selected language updates key interface text such as the Dashboard headers/rows , tooltips , and the Event Engine outputs (event names, category names, and direction labels). Turkish diacritics and Korean Hangul are supported for clean, native readability. Why only three languages? Each additional language requires duplicating strings throughout the code, which increases script size/memory usage and compilation time. To keep the indicator optimized and responsive, language options are intentionally limited to three. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER FOR EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY This indicator is designed as an educational and research tool based on academic market microstructure literature. It is NOT financial advice and should NOT be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.

Smart Trader, Episode 02, by Ata Sabanci | Battle of Candles ⚠️ CRITICAL: READ BEFORE USING ⚠️ This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED and requires Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data for accurate calculations. Please understand the following limitations before using: 📊 DATA ACCURACY LEVELS: • 1T (Tick) — Most accurate, real volume distribution per tick • 1S (1 Second) — Reasonably accurate approximation • 15S (15 Seconds) — Good approximation, longer historical data available • 1M (1 Minute) — Rough approximation, maximum historical data range ⚠️ BACKTEST & REPLAY LIMITATIONS: • Replay mode results may differ from live trading due to data availability • For longer back test periods, use higher LTF settings (15S or 1M) • Not all symbols/exchanges support tick-level data • Crypto and Forex typically have better LTF data availability than stocks 💡 A NOTE ON TOOLS: Successful trading requires proper tools. Higher TradingView plans provide access to more historical intrabar data, which directly impacts the accuracy of volume-based calculations. More precise volume data leads to more reliable signals. Consider this when evaluating your trading infrastructure. 📌 OVERVIEW Smart Trader Episode 02: Battle of Candles is an advanced educational indicator that combines multiple analysis engines to help traders identify market scenarios and understand market dynamics. This is NOT financial advice or a trading signal service — it's a learning tool designed to help you understand how institutional traders might interpret price action. The indicator integrates 7 major analysis engines into a unified dashboard, providing real-time insights into volume flow, trend structure, market phases, and potential trade setups. ⚡ KEY FEATURES 🎯 16-Pattern Scenario Engine Automatically detects and classifies market conditions into 16 distinct scenarios, from strong continuation moves to potential reversals and traps. 💰 Trade Advisor Panel Aggregates all signals into actionable suggestions with confidence levels, suggested entry/SL/TP levels, and risk/reward calculations. 📊 Volume Engine Splits volume into buy/sell components using either Geometry (candle shape) or Intrabar (LTF data) methods for precise delta analysis. 📈 CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure to identify accumulation, distribution, and divergences. 🎯 Stop-Hunt Detection Identifies potential stop-hunt patterns where price sweeps liquidity levels before reversing. 📐 Pure Structure Trend Engine Zero-lag trend detection based on swing highs/lows (HH/HL/LH/LL) without any lagging indicators. ⚡ Effort vs Result Analysis Measures energy spent (volume) versus ground taken (price movement) to detect stalls, breakthroughs, and exhaustion. 🎯 SCENARIO ENGINE — 16 Market Patterns The Scenario Engine analyzes multiple factors (candle anatomy, volume, forces, CVD, wick analysis) to classify each candle into one of 16 scenarios: Continuation Scenarios (1-3) 1. ⚔️ STRONG MOVE — Big body candle (>60%) with volume confirming direction. Indicates strong momentum continuation. 2. 🛡️ ABSORPTION — One side attacks but the other absorbs the pressure. Price holds despite volume. Continuation expected in the absorbing side's favor. 3. 📉 PULLBACK — Small move against the trend with low volume. Indicates a healthy retracement before trend continuation. Reversal Scenarios (4-6, 13-16) 4. 💥 REJECTION — Big wick (>40%) with small body and high volume. Price was rejected at a level, potential reversal. 5. 🪤 TRAP — Pin direction disagrees with delta. Extreme wick size. Looks bullish/bearish but the opposite may happen. 6. 😫 EXHAUSTION — High energy spent (volume) but low ground taken (price movement). Both sides active but momentum fading. 13. 🔄 CVD BULL DIV — Price falling but CVD rising. Hidden buying detected (accumulation). Potential bullish reversal. 14. 🔄 CVD BEAR DIV — Price rising but CVD falling. Hidden selling detected (distribution). Potential bearish reversal. 15. 🎯 STOP HUNT BULL — Shorts were liquidated below support. Price swept liquidity and reversed. Expect bullish move. 16. 🎯 STOP HUNT BEAR — Longs were liquidated above resistance. Price swept liquidity and reversed. Expect bearish move. Range/Stalemate Scenarios (7-9) 7. ⚖️ DEADLOCK — Market in balance. Force ratio between 0.4-0.6. Low volume. No side winning. 8. 🔥 BATTLE — High volume fight in a range. Both sides attacking. Wicks on both ends of candle. 9. 🎯 WAITING — Building phase with quiet volume. Market is preparing but no trigger yet. Wait for breakout. Pre-Breakout Scenarios (10-12) 10. 🚀 BULL SETUP — Buyers accumulating in a building phase. Positive delta building. Bullish pressure growing. 11. 💣 BEAR SETUP — Sellers distributing in a building phase. Negative delta building. Bearish pressure growing. 12. ⚡ BREAKOUT — Price at boundary with strong candle and volume supporting. Imminent breakout expected. 💰 TRADE ADVISOR ENGINE The Trade Advisor aggregates all signals from the different engines into a single actionable output. It uses a weighted scoring system: Scoring Weights: • Scenario Signal: 30% • Trend Alignment: 20% • CVD Momentum: 15% + Divergence Bonus • Pin Forces: 15% • Liquidity Sweep: 12% • Stop-Hunt Detection: 10% • Effort vs Result: 10% Possible Actions: • ⏳ WAIT — Edge not strong enough (stay patient) • 🟢 LONG ENTRY — Buyers have strong advantage + signals align • 🔴 SHORT ENTRY — Sellers have strong advantage + signals align • ⚠️ CLOSE LONG/SHORT — Position at risk (reversal/trend flip) • 🛑 STOP LOSS — Price hit risk threshold • 💰 TAKE PROFIT — Target threshold reached 📊 EXTENDED INFO PANEL (Detailed Explanations) The Extended Info panel is hidden by default (toggle: Show Extended Info in settings). It provides detailed metrics that feed into the main engines: CVD ANALYSIS What is CVD? Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is the running total of Buy Volume minus Sell Volume. It reveals the underlying buying/selling pressure that may not be visible in price alone. CVD Value & Slope: • ↗ Rising: CVD increasing = net buying pressure (bullish) • ↘ Falling: CVD decreasing = net selling pressure (bearish) • → Flat: No clear pressure direction Accumulation vs Distribution: • Accumulation %: Shows buying pressure strength (0-100). High accumulation with CVD rising = strong bullish bias. • Distribution %: Shows selling pressure strength (0-100). High distribution with CVD falling = strong bearish bias. Divergence Alerts: • ⚠️ BULLISH DIVERGENCE: Price falling but CVD rising. Hidden buying = potential reversal UP. • ⚠️ BEARISH DIVERGENCE: Price rising but CVD falling. Hidden selling = potential reversal DOWN. WICK ANALYSIS Wick Torque: Torque measures the "rotational force" from wicks. It's calculated from wick length, volume, and body efficiency. • Positive Torque (Bullish): Bottom wick power dominates. Buyers defended lower prices. • Negative Torque (Bearish): Top wick power dominates. Sellers defended higher prices. • ⚡ High Torque (>30): Strong signal, significant wick rejection occurred. Stop-Hunt Detection: The engine detects when price has likely swept stop-losses clustered at key levels: • Stop Hunt Risk %: Likelihood score (0-100). Above 55% = confirmed hunt. • "Shorts hunted": Price swept below support, liquidating shorts, expect bounce UP. • "Longs hunted": Price swept above resistance, liquidating longs, expect drop DOWN. LIQUIDITY SWEEPS This section appears only when a liquidity sweep is detected. The engine monitors for price sweeping recent highs/lows and then reversing: • 🎯 LIQUIDITY SWEPT ABOVE: Price broke recent highs but closed back below. Longs trapped, expect DOWN. • 🎯 LIQUIDITY SWEPT BELOW: Price broke recent lows but closed back above. Shorts trapped, expect UP. POWER BALANCE The Power Balance meter shows the real-time strength comparison between buyers and sellers. Force Ratio: • 0% = Complete seller dominance • 50% = Perfect balance • 100% = Complete buyer dominance Visual Bar: • Left side (▓): Bear territory • Right side (▓): Bull territory • The bar is smoothed over recent history to reduce noise. EFFORT vs RESULT This section measures the efficiency of price movement relative to volume expended. Energy: How much volume was spent relative to the average. Energy > 1.0x means above-average volume activity. Ground: How much price movement occurred relative to average range. Ground > 1.0x means above-average price movement. STALL Warning: A STALL is detected when high energy is spent but low ground is taken (high effort, low result). This often indicates institutional battle, exhaustion, or imminent reversal. MARKET PHASE The Phase Engine classifies the current market regime: RANGE : No clear trend. Price confined to middle of channel. Low ADX. Balanced forces. Trade breakouts with caution. BUILDING : Compression/preparation phase. Channel tightening or boundary penetration without follow-through. Watch for breakout direction. TRENDING : Active directional move. Clear slope, good efficiency, price on trending side of channel. Favor pullback entries. Strength: 0-100% score combining slope, volume validity, and force/efficiency filters.

Because of that, its precision is only as good as the granularity and history of the data you feed it. The most granular view is a tick-based interval (e.g., 1T = one trade/tick). If tick-based intervals are not available for your symbol or your plan, the closest time-based approximation is a 1-second chart (1S). If you enable any "high-precision / intrabar" options (anything that relies on the smallest updates), make sure you understand which TradingView plan you are using, because intrabar historical depth (how many bars you can load) varies by plan. More history generally means more stable baselines for volume statistics, regime detection, and long lookback features. Plan-related notes (TradingView) TradingView limits how many intrabar historical bars can be loaded, depending on your plan. The exact limits are defined by TradingView and can change over time, but as of the current documentation, the intrabar limits are: • Basic: 5,000 bars • Essential: 10,000 bars • Plus: 10,000 bars • Premium: 20,000 bars • Expert: 25,000 bars • Ultimate: 40,000 bars Tick charts / tick-based intervals are currently positioned as a feature of professional-tier plans (e.g., Expert/Elite/Ultimate). Availability may also vary by symbol and data feed.

Volume vs Range Imbalance DetectorDescription :- Concept :- This indicator is designed to identify "Effort vs. Result" anomalies in the market using Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) concepts. It highlights specific candles where high trading activity (Volume) is occurring, but the price movement (Range) is restricted. This behavior often signals the presence of heavy absorption by buyers or sellers ("Smart Money" activity) before a potential reversal or continuation. How It Works :- The script combines two distinct methods of volume analysis into a single view 1. Structural Imbalance (Lime & Red Signals) This logic detects major market anomalies by comparing the current candle against a 50-period average context. The Logic: A signal is generated if the Volume is significantly higher than the average (default 1.618x the 50 SMA) AND the Price Range is significantly smaller than the average (default 1.272x the 50 ATR). Lime Candle/Dot (Bullish Absorption): Massive volume with small range, closing in the upper 50% of the bar. This suggests sellers are dumping, but buyers are absorbing all orders, preventing the price from dropping. Red Candle/Dot (Bearish Blockade): Massive volume with small range, closing in the lower 50% of the bar. This suggests buyers are pushing, but sellers are absorbing the demand, preventing the price from rising. 2. Hidden Activity (Orange Signals) This logic is more sensitive and compares the current candle only to the previous candle. The Logic: A signal is generated if the current Volume is higher than the previous bar's volume, but the current Range is smaller than the previous bar's range. Orange Candle/Dot: This indicates "Churn." Effort is increasing, but the result (movement) is decreasing. It is often an early warning sign of congestion or a pending breakout. Visual Guide Lime Dot (Below Bar): Strong Buying Pressure (Bullish Imbalance). Red Dot (Above Bar): Strong Selling Pressure (Bearish Imbalance). Orange Dot (Above Bar): Hidden Activity / Churn (Warning). Settings Context Length: The lookback period for the moving averages (Default: 50). Volume/Range Multipliers: Determine how strict the "Imbalance" signals are. Higher numbers result in fewer, more significant signals. Show Hidden Activity: Toggle the orange signals on or off.

Trend Vector Pro v2.0Trend Vector Pro v2.0 👨‍💻 Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi 💡 Strategy Overview & Coherence Trend Vector Pro (TVPro) is a momentum-based trend & reversal strategy that uses a custom smoothed oscillator, an optional ADX filter, and classic Pivot Points to create a single, coherent trading framework. Instead of stacking random indicators, TVPro is built around these integrated components: A custom momentum engine (signal generation) An optional ADX filter (trend quality control) Daily Pivot Points (context, targets & S/R) Swing-based “Golden Bar” trailing stops (trade management) Optional extended bar detection (overextension alerts) All parts are designed to work together and are documented below to address originality & usefulness requirements. 🔍 Core Components & Justification 1. Custom Momentum Engine (Main Signal Source) TVPro’s engine is a custom oscillator derived from the bar midpoint ( hl2 ), similar in spirit to the Awesome Oscillator but adapted and fully integrated into the strategy. It measures velocity and acceleration of price, letting the script distinguish between strong impulses, weakening trends, and pure noise. 2. ADX Filter (Trend Strength Validation – Optional) Uses Average Directional Index (ADX) as a gatekeeper. Why this matters: This prevents the strategy from firing signals in choppy, non-trending environments (when ADX is below the threshold) and keeps trades focused on periods of clear directional strength. 3. Classic Pivot Points (Context & Targets) Calculates Daily Pivot Points ( PP, R1-R3, S1-S3 ) via request.security() using prior session data. Why this matters: Momentum gives the signal, ADX validates the environment, and Pivots add external structure for risk and target planning. This is a designed interaction, not a random mashup. 🧭 Trend State Logic (5-State Bar Coloring) The strategy uses the momentum's value + slope to define five states, turning the chart into a visual momentum map: 🟢 STRONG BULL (Bright Green): Momentum accelerating UP. → Strong upside impulse. 🌲 WEAK BULL (Dark Green): Momentum decelerating DOWN (while positive). → Pullback/pause zone. 🔴 STRONG BEAR (Bright Red): Momentum accelerating DOWN. → Strong downside impulse. 🍷 WEAK BEAR (Dark Red): Momentum decelerating UP (while negative). → Rally/short-covering zone. 🔵 NEUTRAL / CHOP (Cyan): Momentum is near zero (based on noise threshold). → Consolidation / low volatility. 🎯 Signal Logic Modes TVPro provides two selectable entry styles, controlled by input: Reversals Only (Cleaner Mode – Default): Targets trend flips. Entry triggers when the current state is Bullish (or Bearish) and the previous state was not. This reduces noise and over-trading. All Strong Pulses (Aggressive Mode): Targets acceleration phases. Entry triggers when the bar turns to STRONG BULL or STRONG BEAR after any other state. This mode produces more trades. 📌 Risk Management Tools 🟡 Golden Bars – Trailing Stops: Yellow “Trail” Arrows mark confirmed Swing Highs/Lows. These are used as logical trailing stop levels based on market structure. Extended Bars: Detects when price closes outside a 2-standard-deviation channel, flagging overextension where a pullback is more likely. Pivot Points: Used as external targets for Take Profit and structural stop placement. ⚙️ Strategy Defaults (Crucial for Publication Compliance) To keep backtest results realistic and in line with House Rules, TVPro is published with the following fixed default settings: Order Size: 5% of equity per trade ( default_qty_value = 5 ) Commission: 0.04% per order ( commission_value = 0.04 ) Slippage: 2 ticks ( slippage = 2 ) Initial Capital: 10,000 📘 How to Trade with Trend Vector Pro Entry: Take Long when a Long signal appears and confirm the bar is Green (Bull state). Short for Red (Bear state). Stop Loss: Place the initial SL near the latest swing High/Low, or near a relevant Pivot level. Trade Management: Follow Golden (Trail) Arrows to trail your stop behind structure. Exits: Exit when: the trailing stop is hit, Price reaches a major Pivot level, or an opposite signal prints. 🛑 Disclaimer This script is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

Volume essential parameters overlayVolume EPO – Essential Volume Parameters Overlay 1. Motivation and design philosophy Volume EPO is designed as a conceptual overlay rather than a self contained trading system. The main idea behind this script is to take complex, foundational market concepts out of heavy, menu driven strategies and express them as lightweight, independent layers that sit on top of any chart or indicator. In many TradingView scripts, a single strategy tries to handle everything at once: signal logic, risk settings, visual cues, multi timeframe controls, and conceptual explanations. This usually leads to long input menus, performance issues, and difficult maintenance. The architectural approach behind Volume EPO is the opposite: keep the core strategy lean, and move the explanation and measurement of key concepts into dedicated overlays. In this framework, Volume EPO is the base layer for the concept of volume. It does not decide anything about entries or exits. Instead, it exposes and clarifies how different definitions of volume behave candle by candle. Other layers or strategies can then build on top of this understanding. 2. What Volume EPO does Volume EPO focuses on four essential volume parameters for each bar: - Buy volume - Sell volume - Total volume - Delta volume (the difference between buy and sell volume) The script presents these parameters in a compact heads up display (HUD) table that can be positioned anywhere on the chart. It is designed to be visually minimal, language aware, and usable on top of any other indicator or price action without cluttering the view. The indicator does not output signals, alerts, arrows, or strategy entries. It is a descriptive and educational tool that shows how volume is distributed, not a prescriptive tool that tells the trader what to do. 3. Two definitions of volume A central theme of this script is that there is more than one way to define and interpret “volume” inside a single candle. Volume EPO implements and clearly separates two different approaches: - A geometric, candle based approximation that uses only OHLC and volume of the current bar. - An intrabar, data driven definition that uses lower timeframe up and down volume when it is available. The user can switch between these modes via the calculation method input. The mode is prominently shown inside the on chart table so that the context is always explicit. 3.1 Geometry mode (Source File, approximate) In Geometry mode, Volume EPO works only with the current bar’s OHLC values and total volume. No lower timeframe data is required. The candle’s range is defined as high minus low. If the range is positive, the position of the close inside that range is used as a simple model for how volume might have been distributed between buyers and sellers: - The closer the close is to the high, the more of the total volume is attributed to the buying side. - The closer the close is to the low, the more of the total volume is attributed to the selling side. - In a rare case where the bar has no price range (for example a flat or doji bar), total volume is split evenly between buy and sell volume. From this model, the script derives: - Buy volume (approximated) - Sell volume (approximated) - Total volume (as reported by the bar) - Delta volume as the difference between buy and sell volume This approach is intentionally labeled as “Geometry (Approx)” in the HUD. It is a theoretical reconstruction based solely on the candle’s geometry and total volume, and it is always available on any market or timeframe that provides OHLCV data. 3.2 Intrabar mode (Precise) In Intrabar mode, Volume EPO uses the TradingView built in library for up and down volume on a user selected lower timeframe. Instead of inferring volume from the shape of the candle, it reads the underlying lower timeframe data when that data is accessible. The script requests up and down volume from a lower timeframe such as 15 seconds, using the official TA library functions. The results are then interpreted as follows: - Buy volume is taken as the absolute value of the up volume. - Sell volume is taken as the absolute value of the down volume. - Total volume is the sum of buy and sell volume. - Delta volume is provided directly by the library as the difference between up and down volume. If valid lower timeframe data exists for a bar, the bar is counted as covered by Intrabar data. If not, that bar is marked as invalid for this precise calculation and is excluded from the covered count. This mode is labeled “Precise” in the HUD, together with the selected lower timeframe, because it is anchored in actual intrabar data rather than in a geometric model. It provides a closer view of how buying and selling pressure unfolded inside the bar, at the cost of requiring more data and being dependent on the availability of that data. 4. Coverage, lookback, and what the numbers mean The top part of the HUD reports not only which volume definition is active, but also an additional line that describes the effective coverage of the data. In Intrabar (Precise) mode, the script displays: - “Scanned: N Bars” Here, N counts how many bars since the indicator was loaded have successfully received valid lower timeframe delta data. It is a measure of how much of the visible history has been truly covered by intrabar information, not a lookback window in the sense of a rolling calculation. In Geometry mode, the script displays: - “Lookback: L Bars” In this extracted layer, the lookback value L is purely descriptive. It does not change how the current bar’s volume is computed, and it is not used in any iterative or statistical calculation inside this script. It is meant as a conceptual label, for example to keep the volume layer consistent with a broader framework where lookback length is a structural parameter. Summarizing these two fields: - Scanned tells you how many bars have been processed using real intrabar data. - Lookback is a descriptive parameter in Geometry mode in this specific overlay, not a direct driver of the computations. 5. The HUD layout on the chart The on chart table is intentionally compact and structured to be read quickly: - Header: a title identifying the overlay as Volume EPO. - Mode line: explicitly states whether the script is in Precise or Geometry mode, and for Precise mode also shows the lower timeframe used. - Coverage line: - In Precise mode, it shows “Scanned: N Bars”. - In Geometry mode, it shows “Lookback: L Bars”. - Volume block: - A line for buy and sell volume, marked with clear directional symbols. - A line for total volume and the absolute delta, accompanied by the sign of the delta. - Numeric formatting uses human friendly suffixes (for example K, M, B) to keep the display readable. - Footer: the current symbol and a time stamp, adjusted by a user selectable timezone offset so that the HUD can be aligned with the trader’s local time reference. The table can be positioned anywhere on the chart and resized via inputs, and it supports multiple color themes and languages in order to integrate cleanly into different chart layouts. 6. How to use Volume EPO in practice Volume EPO is meant to be read together with price action and other tools, not in isolation. Typical uses include: - Studying how often a strong directional candle is actually supported by dominant buy or sell volume. - Comparing the behavior of delta volume between Geometry and Intrabar definitions. - Building a personal intuition for how intrabar data refines or contradicts the simple candle based approximation. - Feeding these insights into separate, lean strategy scripts that do not need to carry the full explanatory logic of volume inside them. Because it is an overlay layer, Volume EPO can be stacked with other custom indicators without adding new signals or complexity to their logic. It simply adds a clear and consistent view of volume behavior on top of whatever the trader is already watching. 7. Educational and non signalling nature Finally, it is important to stress that Volume EPO is not a trading system, not a signal generator, and not financial advice. The script does not tell the user when to enter or exit. It only reports how different definitions of volume describe the current bar. Deciding whether to trade, how to trade, and which risk parameters to use remains entirely with the user and with their own strategy. Volume EPO provides context and clarity around the concept of volume so that those decisions can be informed by a better understanding of how buying and selling pressure is structured inside each candle. Note: Even on lower timeframes, every reconstruction of volume remains an approximation, except at the true single tick level. However, the closer the chosen lower timeframe is to a one tick stream, the more accurately it can reflect the underlying order flow and balance between buying and selling pressure.

Regime Filter [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW Regime Filter is a dual-factor trend condition tool combining price trend momentum and volume expansion into a single, easy-to-read visual framework. It quantifies recent trend direction and volume shifts, then shows them as: Two oscillator plots for Trend and Volume regimes Dynamic candle coloring for trend clarity A quadrant scatter map in your chart corner for immediate regime recognition. This filter helps traders quickly detect when a trend is healthy & confirmed by strong volume, or weakening & vulnerable due to low volume. 🔵 CONCEPTS Trend Oscillator: A loop-based trend value calculated by comparing the current smoothed price (HMA of HLC3) against its own trailing history. Positive values indicate trend-up regimes, negative values signal trend-down phases. Volume Oscillator: Similar loop logic but on smoothed volume (HMA of Volume) — highlighting whether trading activity is expanding or contracting relative to past bars. hma = ta.hma(hlc3, 15) vol = ta.hma(volume, 15) for i = 0 to len if hma > hma trend += 1 else trend -= 1 for i = 0 to len if vol > vol voltrend += 1 else voltrend -= 1 Regime Map Scatter Plot: A unique 2D quadrant displayed in the bottom-right corner. This shows where the market is sitting: > Top Right (green): Trend ↑ and Volume ↑ → strong confirmed up trend. > Top Left (red): Trend ↓ but Volume ↑ → strong sell momentum. > Bottom Right (blue): Trend ↑ but Volume ↓ → uptrend losing steam. > Bottom Left (yellow): Trend ↓ and Volume ↓ → weak bearish drift. Dynamic Candle Coloring: Candles are colored by trend only: green for uptrends, red for downtrends, and orange near reversals. Threshold Fills: The oscillator region is shaded green above +10 (healthy uptrend) and red below -10 (strong downtrend) for instant confidence. 🔵 FEATURES Normalized trend and volume values adapt automatically to your lookback length. Candlestick color overrides highlight current trend state in real-time. Clear zero-line and fill bands help you gauge strength vs. noise. Scatter regime dashboard updates live to track when trend and volume align or decouple. Color gradients show intensification or cooling in both oscillators and the regime map. 🔵 HOW TO USE Look for sustained positive trend and volume values to confirm strong directional moves. Watch for the scatter dot in the green square (top right) for high-confidence breakouts. If the dot drops to bottom right, uptrend may be tiring — possible exit zone. If the dot jumps top left, bearish drive is reinforced by heavy volume — caution on longs. Use the orange trend coloring as an early warning that trend pressure may be shifting. Combine with breakout levels or moving averages for a robust regime filter system. 🔵 CONCLUSION The Regime Filter distills price trend and volume dynamics into an actionable multi-mode display: oscillators, color-coded candles, and an intuitive scatter map. This all-in-one layout helps traders visually read market regime strength and spot fading trends before they turn — perfect for swing traders, intraday scalpers, and macro trend followers alike.

Low Volatility Profiles [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW Low Volatility Profiles is a market compression and breakout-anticipation tool that identifies phases of low volatility using ADX and then builds a real-time volume profile inside the detected range. This helps traders spot accumulation/distribution zones and prepare for explosive moves when volatility expands. When volatility is low ➜ price coils ➜ volume organizes ➜ breakouts become highly actionable. This tool visualizes that process with dynamic range boxes + volume bins + PoC extension. 🔵 CONCEPTS Low-Volatility Detection — Uses ADX threshold & cross logic to define volatility contraction regimes. Range Construction — Draws a price box that expands with highs/lows during the compression phase. Micro Volume Profile — Builds a volume histogram inside the range using bins (micro volume nodes). Delta Calculation — Tracks positive vs negative volume to gauge buyer/seller pressure within range. Point of Control (PoC) — Highlights the price level with max traded volume inside the range. PoC Extension — Optionally extends PoC into future bars to show potential reaction zone after breakout. Breakout Validation — Ends the profile zone when price breaks above or below the modeled range. Noise Removal — Automatically removes invalid or small ranges to prevent chart clutter. This tool turns consolidation into actionable structure by exposing where smart money accumulates before trending moves. 🔵 FEATURES ADX-Driven Range Detection — Identify when market transitions into low-volatility compression. Configurable ADX Threshold — Set sensitivity for contraction zones. Cross-Type Option — Detect low volatility via cross under / crossover logic. Dynamic Range Box — Expands live with price as contraction unfolds. Micro Volume Profile (Bins) — Distributes volume across bins inside range for micro POC mapping. Volume Delta Visualization — Shows imbalance inside consolidation (accumulation vs distribution). Real-Time PoC Highlight — Instantly shows most traded price inside the compression. PoC Extension Mode — Extend PoC forward to project reaction levels post-breakout. Clean Auto-Reset Logic — Removes boxes if range invalid or breakout occurs too fast. Optional Filled Boxes — Heatmap-style profile visualization inside range body. ADX Line + Threshold Plot — Visual assistance for volatility state monitoring. 🔵 HOW TO USE Identify Accumulation Zones — When price enters low-volatility ADX condition and profile builds. Watch the PoC — PoC acts as battle zone; move above/below can signal initiator strength. Breakout Strategy — Trade break above/below the range after compression. Mean Reversion Inside Range — Fade edges while price remains inside compression box. Combine With Trend Tools — Use trend confirmation (MA/EMA/Flow indicators) after breakout. Use Delta Clues — Positive delta tilt suggests accumulation; negative suggests distribution. Monitor Range Size — Longer build + high PoC volume = stronger potential breakout energy. 🔵 CONCLUSION Low Volatility Profiles isolates accumulation phases and maps volume concentration before volatility expansion. By combining ADX compression, micro volume distribution, and PoC tracing, traders gain an edge in anticipating powerful breakout cycles and institutional positioning. Trade the quiet moment before the storm — where smart money prepares the move, and the real opportunity emerges.

Dobrusky Pressure CoreWhat it does & who it’s for Dobrusky Pressure Core is a volume by time replacement for traders who care about which side actually controls each bar. Instead of just plotting total volume, it splits each bar into estimated buy vs sell pressure and overlays a custom, session-aware volume baseline. It’s built for discretionary traders who want more nuanced volume context for entries, breakouts, and pullbacks. Core ideas Buy/sell pressure split: Each bar’s volume is broken into estimated buying and selling pressure. Dominant side highlighting: The dominant side (buy or sell) is always displayed starting from the bottom of the bar, so you can quickly see who “owned” that bar. Median-based baseline: Uses the median of the last N bars (50 by default) to build a robust volume baseline that’s less sensitive to one-off spikes. Session-aware behavior: Baseline is calculated from Regular Trading Hours (RTH) by default, with an option to include Extended Hours (ETH) and a control to force Regular data on higher timeframes. Volume regimes: Three multipliers (1x, 1.5x, 2x by default) show normal, high, and extreme volume regions. Flexible display: Baseline can be shown as lines or as columns behind the volume, with full color customization. How the pressure logic works For each bar, the script: Adjusts the range for gaps relative to the prior close so the “true” traded range is more consistent. Computes buy pressure as a proportion of the adjusted range from low to close. Defines sell pressure as: total volume minus buy pressure. Marks the bar as buy-dominant if buy pressure ≥ sell pressure, otherwise sell-dominant, and colors the dominant side from the bottom to at least the midpoint using the selected buy/sell colors. In practice, this turns basic volume columns into bars where the internal split and dominant side are clearly visible, helping you judge whether aggressive buyers or sellers truly controlled the bar instead of just looking at the price action. Volume baseline & session logic The script builds a session-aware baseline from recent volume: Baseline length: A rolling window (default 50 bars) is used to compute a median volume value instead of a simple moving average. RTH-only by default: By default, the baseline is built from Regular Trading Hours bars only. During extended hours, the baseline effectively “freezes” at the last RTH-derived value unless you choose to include extended session data. Extended mode: If you select Extended mode, the script builds separate rolling baselines for RTH and ETH trading, using the appropriate one depending on the current session. Force Regular Above Timeframe: On timeframes equal to or higher than your chosen threshold, the baseline automatically uses Regular session data, even if Extended is selected. Multipliers: Three adjustable multipliers (1x, 1.5x, 2x by default) create normal, high, and extreme volume bands for quick identification. This lets you choose whether you want a pure RTH reference or a baseline that adapts to extended-session activity. Example ways to use it 1. Replace standard volume bars Add Dobrusky Pressure Core to your volume pane and hide the default volume if you prefer a clean look. Use the colors and split to see at a glance whether buyers or sellers were dominant on each bar. 2. Pressure confirmation for entries For longs (example concept; adapt to your own rules): Require that the entry bar’s buy pressure is greater than the previous bar’s sell pressure , or If the entry and prior bar are both buy-dominant, require that the entry bar has more buy pressure than the prior bar. This helps avoid taking a long when buying pressure is clearly fading relative to what sellers recently showed. A mirrored idea can be used for short setups with sell pressure. 3. Context from baseline multipliers Use ~1x baseline as “normal” volume. Watch for bars at or above 1.5x baseline when you want to see increased participation. Treat 2x baseline and above as “extreme” volume zones that may mark climactic or especially important bars. In practice, the baseline and multipliers are best used as context and filters, not as rigid rules. Settings overview Display - Show Volume Baseline: toggle the baseline and its levels on or off. - Baseline Display: choose between Line or Bars for the baseline visualization. Baseline Calculation - Length: lookback for the median baseline (default 50, configurable). - Baseline Session Data: choose Regular or Extended to control which session data feeds the baseline. Session Controls - Regular Session (Local to TZ): define your RTH window (e.g., 0930-1600). - Session Time Zone: choose the time zone used for that window. - Force Regular Above Timeframe: on higher timeframes, force the baseline to use Regular session data only. Baseline Levels - Show Level x Multiplier 1/2/3: toggle each volume regime level. - Multiplier 1/2/3: define what you consider normal, high, and extreme volume (defaults: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0). Colors - Buy Volume / Sell Volume: choose colors for buy and sell pressure. - Baseline Bars (Base / x2 / x3): colors when the baseline is drawn as columns. - Baseline Line (Base / x2 / x3): colors when the baseline is drawn as lines. Limitations & best practices This is a decision-support and visualization tool, not a buy/sell signal generator. Best suited to markets where volume data is meaningful (e.g., index futures, liquid equities, liquid crypto). The usefulness of any volume-based metric depends on the underlying data feed and instrument structure. Always combine pressure and baseline context with your own strategy, risk management, and testing. Originality Most volume tools either show total volume only or compare it to a simple moving average. Dobrusky Pressure Core combines: An intrabar buy/sell pressure split based on a gap-adjusted price range. A median-based, configurable baseline built from session-specific data. Session-aware behavior that keeps the baseline focused on Regular hours by default, with the option to incorporate Extended hours and force Regular data on higher timeframes. The goal is to give traders a richer, session-aware view of participation and pressure that standard volume bars and simple SMA overlays don’t provide, while keeping everything transparent and open-source so users can review and adapt the logic.

Smart RSI Money Flow - Core Bands V1.01SMART RSI – Money Flow Bands (Technical Overview) 1. Background: RSI and Its Behavior on Lower Timeframes The Relative Strength Index (RSI) originally is a momentum oscillator calculated from average gains and losses over a selected period. In its standard form, RSI is derived solely from price changes; it does not incorporate volume data or order-flow information in its formula. Because RSI is price-based, its interpretation depends strongly on the timeframe: • On higher timeframes, each bar aggregates more trading activity, and RSI tends to behave more smoothly. • On lower timeframes (1-hour down to intraday scalping intervals), price fluctuations are quicker, and RSI becomes more sensitive to short-term noise. This does not imply that RSI becomes invalid, but that its signals on fast charts can be more reactive and may benefit from additional context such as volume behavior or structural information. 2. Purpose of This Indicator This indicator extends the classical RSI by adding information that RSI does not include: • Mapping RSI values into price-based bands instead of the 0–100 oscillator space. • Retrieving lower timeframe volume data and separating it into buy and sell components. • Comparing the slope (angle) of price movement with the slope of buy and sell volume. The goal is to provide a structural interpretation of where price sits relative to RSI conditions and how volume is behaving on a lower timeframe. 3. Technical Differences Compared to Classical RSI A) Classical RSI • Input: price only (usually close). • Output: normalized oscillator between 0 and 100. • Does not incorporate intra-bar volume distribution. • Does not separate buy/sell volume. B) SMART RSI – Money Flow Bands 1) RSI-to-Price Mapping Converts RSI values into upper/lower price bands using recent price extremes. 2) Lower Timeframe Volume Decomposition Retrieves LTF data and splits each bar’s volume into buy (close>open) and sell (close

ICT HTF Volume Candles (Based on HTF Candles by Fadi)# ICT HTF Volume Candles - Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis ## Overview This indicator provides multi-timeframe volume visualization designed to complement price action analysis. It displays volume data from up to 6 higher timeframes simultaneously in a separate panel, allowing traders to identify volume spikes, divergences, and institutional activity without switching between timeframes. **Original Concept Credits:** This indicator builds upon the HTF Candles framework by Fadi, adapting it specifically for volume analysis with enhanced features including gap-filling for extended hours, multiple scaling methods, and advanced synchronization. ## What Makes This Script Original ### Key Innovations: 1. **Three Volume Scaling Methods:** - **Per-HTF Auto Scale:** Each timeframe scales independently for detailed comparison - **Global Auto Scale:** All timeframes use unified scale for relative volume comparison - **Manual Scale:** User-defined maximum for consistent analysis across sessions 2. **Bullish/Bearish Volume Differentiation:** - Volume bars colored based on price movement (close vs open) - Separate styling for bullish (green) and bearish (red) volume periods - Helps identify whether volume supports price direction 3. **Advanced Time Synchronization:** - Custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM ET) - Timezone-aware calculations for New York trading hours - Real-time countdown timers for each timeframe - **Gap-filling technology** for continuous display during extended hours and weekends 4. **Flexible Display Options:** - Configurable spacing and positioning - Label placement (top, bottom, or both) - Day-of-week or time interval labels on candles - Works reliably in backtesting and live trading ## How It Works ### Volume Calculation The indicator uses `request.security()` with optimized parameters to fetch volume data from higher timeframes: - **Volume Open/High/Low/Close (OHLC):** Tracks volume changes within each HTF candle - **Color Logic:** Compares HTF close vs open prices to determine bullish/bearish classification - **Alignment:** All volume bars share a common baseline for easy visual comparison - **Gap Handling:** Uses `gaps=barmerge.gaps_off` to maintain continuity during non-trading hours ### Technical Implementation ``` 1. Monitors HTF timeframe changes using request.security() with lookahead 2. Creates new VolumeCandle object when HTF bar opens 3. Updates current candle's volume H/L/C on each chart bar 4. Applies selected scaling method to normalize display height 5. Repositions all candles and labels on each bar update 6. Fills gaps automatically during extended hours for consistent display ``` ### Scaling Methods Explained **Method 1 - Auto Scale per HTF:** Each timeframe displays volume relative to its own maximum. Best for identifying patterns within each individual timeframe. **Method 2 - Global Auto Scale:** All timeframes share the same scale based on the highest volume across all HTFs. Best for comparing relative volume strength between timeframes. **Method 3 - Manual Scale:** User sets maximum volume value. Best for maintaining consistent scale across different trading sessions or instruments. ## How to Use This Indicator ### Setup 1. Add indicator to your chart (it appears in a separate panel below price) 2. Configure up to 6 higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W) 3. Set number of candles to display for each timeframe 4. Choose volume scaling method based on your analysis needs 5. Enable "Fix gaps in non-trading hours" for extended hours trading (enabled by default) ### Interpretation **Volume Spikes:** - Sudden increase in volume height indicates institutional activity or strong conviction - Compare volume between timeframes to identify where the real money is moving - Look for volume spikes that appear across multiple timeframes simultaneously **Bullish vs Bearish Volume:** - **Green volume bars:** Price closed higher (buying pressure) - **Red volume bars:** Price closed lower (selling pressure) - High green volume during uptrend = confirmation of strength - High red volume during downtrend = confirmation of weakness - High volume opposite to trend = potential reversal warning **Multi-Timeframe Context:** - **5m/15m:** Scalping and day trading activity - **1H/4H:** Swing trading and intraday institutional flows - **Daily/Weekly:** Major position building and long-term trends **Divergences:** - Price making new highs but volume declining = weakening trend - Volume increasing while price consolidates = potential breakout brewing - Price breaks level but volume doesn't confirm = likely false breakout ### Practical Examples **Example 1 - Institutional Confirmation:** Price breaks above resistance. Check volume across timeframes: - 5m shows spike = retail interest - 15m + 1H + 4H all show spikes = institutional confirmation - **Trade confidence: HIGH** **Example 2 - False Breakout Detection:** Price breaks resistance with: - High volume on 5m only - Normal/low volume on 1H and 4H - **Interpretation:** Likely retail trap, institutions not participating - **Action:** Wait for pullback or avoid **Example 3 - Accumulation Phase:** Price ranges sideways but: - Daily volume gradually increasing - Weekly volume above average - **Interpretation:** Smart money accumulating - **Action:** Prepare for breakout in direction of volume **Example 4 - Volume Divergence:** Price makes new high: - Current high has lower volume than previous high across all timeframes - **Interpretation:** Weakening momentum - **Action:** Consider profit-taking or reversal trade ## Configuration Parameters ### Timeframe Settings - **HTF 1-6:** Select timeframes (must be higher than chart timeframe) - **Max Display:** Number of candles to show per timeframe (1-50) - **Limit to Next HTFs:** Display only first N enabled timeframes (1-6) ### Styling - **Bull/Bear Colors:** Separate colors for body, border, and wick - **Padding from current candles:** Distance offset from live price action - **Space between candles:** Gap between individual volume bars - **Space between Higher Timeframes:** Gap between different timeframe groups - **Candle Width:** Thickness of volume bars (1-4, multiplied by 2) ### Volume Settings - **Volume Scale Method:** Choose 1, 2, or 3 - 1 = Auto Scale per HTF (each TF independent) - 2 = Global Auto Scale (all TF unified) - 3 = Manual Scale (user-defined max) - **Auto Scale Volume:** Enable/disable automatic scaling - **Manual Scale Max Volume:** Set maximum when using Method 3 ### Label Settings - **HTF Label:** Show/hide timeframe names with color and size options - **Label Positions:** Display at Top, Bottom, or Both - **Label Alignment:** Align centered or Follow Candles - **Remaining Time:** Show countdown timer until next HTF candle - **Interval Value:** Display day-of-week or time on each candle ### Custom Daily Candle - **Enable Custom Daily:** Override default daily candle timing - **Open Time Options:** - **Midnight:** Standard 00:00 ET daily open - **8:30 AM:** Align with economic data releases - **9:30 AM:** Align with NYSE market open - Useful for specific trading strategies or market alignment ### Advanced Settings - **Fix gaps in non-trading hours:** Maintains alignment during extended hours and weekends (recommended: ON) - Prevents visual gaps during forex weekend closures - Ensures consistent display during crypto 24/7 trading - Improves backtesting reliability ## Best Practices 1. **Pair with Price Action:** Use alongside HTF price candles indicator for complete picture 2. **Start Simple:** Enable 2-3 timeframes initially (e.g., 15m, 1H, 4H), add more as needed 3. **Match Settings:** Use same candle width/spacing as companion price indicator for visual alignment 4. **Scale Appropriately:** - Use **Global scale** (Method 2) when comparing timeframes - Use **Per-HTF scale** (Method 1) for pattern analysis within each timeframe - Use **Manual scale** (Method 3) for consistent day-to-day comparison 5. **Watch for Volume Clusters:** High volume appearing simultaneously across multiple HTFs signals significant market events 6. **Confirm Breakouts:** Always check if volume supports the price movement across higher timeframes 7. **Extended Hours:** Keep "Fix gaps" enabled for 24/7 markets (Forex, Crypto) and weekend analysis ## Technical Notes - **Timezone:** All calculations use America/New_York timezone for consistency - **Real-time Updates:** Volume and timers update on each tick during market hours - **Performance:** Optimized with max_bars_back=5000 for extensive historical analysis - **Compatibility:** Works on all instruments with volume data (Stocks, Forex, Crypto, Futures) - **Gap Handling:** Uses `barmerge.gaps_off` to fill data gaps during non-trading periods - **Backtesting:** Uses `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on` for stable historical data without repainting - **Data Continuity:** Automatically handles market closures, weekends, and extended hours ## Updates & Improvements **Version 2.0 (Current):** - ✅ Fixed alignment issues during extended hours and weekends - ✅ Eliminated repainting in backtesting - ✅ Added gap-filling technology for continuous display - ✅ Improved data synchronization across all timeframes - ✅ Enhanced NA value handling for data integrity - ✅ Added advanced settings group for user control ## Support For questions, suggestions, or feedback, please comment on the publication or message the author. --- **Disclaimer:** This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only.

Dobrusky Volume PulseWhat it does & who it’s for Volume Pulse is a lightweight, customizable volume profile overlay that shows traders how volume is distributed across price levels over a chosen lookback window. Unlike standard profiles, it also maps cumulative buy/sell pressure at each level, so you see not just where volume clustered, but which side dominated. Core ideas Cumulative volume by price: Builds a horizontal profile of traded volume at each level, based on user-defined depth and resolution. Directional pressure mapping: At every price level, the script accumulates bullish vs. bearish volume based on candle closes vs. opens, providing a directional read on whether buyers or sellers had the upper hand. POC: Automatically highlights the Point of Control (POC) — the level with the most activity. Customizable presentation: Adjustable profile resolution, bar width, offset, colors, and whether to show cumulative, directional, or both. How the components work together The profile provides the “where,” while the buy/sell mapping adds the “who.” By combining these, traders can see whether a high-volume node was buyer-driven absorption or seller-driven distribution — a distinction classic profiles don’t reveal. This directional overlay reduces the guesswork of interpreting raw volume clusters. How to use Apply the overlay to your chart. Watch the POC and areas of significant increase or decrease in volume (and pressure) as natural magnets or rejection areas. When trading intraday, I've found that higher timeframe volume levels act as strong magnets. In the chart, you can see the volume levels I've drawn on the SPY daily chart. These levels are targets I use when trading the 5-minute chart. Pay attention to color dominance at those zones — green-heavy nodes suggest buyer control; red-heavy nodes suggest seller control. Combine with time-based volume tools and price-action for a more comprehensive trade plan. Settings overview Lookback depth: Number of bars used for profile calculation. Profile resolution: Number of horizontal bars to split volume across price. Bar style: Width, offset, and multiplier for scaling. Toggle layers: Choose cumulative, directional, or both. POC display: Optional highlight of the most traded level. Limitations & best practices This is a contextual overlay, not a trade-signal system. Works best on liquid instruments (indices, futures, major stocks, liquid crypto) where volume distribution is meaningful. Directional mapping uses candle body bias (close vs. open), not raw order flow. For full tape analysis, pair with actual order flow data. Originality justification Dual profile: combines cumulative volume-by-price and buyer/seller pressure per bin (close vs. open) — not a standard VP clone. From-scratch binning + POC in a single pass for speed; no reused libraries. Flexible display (cumulative / directional / both) with independent resolution, width, and offset for intraday or HTF use. Clear visuals (optional POC, balanced node coloring) and open-source code so traders can audit and extend.

Wyckoff Effort vs. Result📌 Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) – Visualizing Supply & Demand Imbalance with Volume Confirmation 📖 Overview The Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) indicator is designed to help traders interpret market behavior through the lens of volume vs. price movement — a foundational concept in Richard Wyckoff’s methodology. This tool aims to highlight moments where the “effort” (volume) is not in proportion to the “result” (price movement) — giving insight into potential accumulation or distribution events. By detecting high-volume candles and classifying them based on their price direction, the indicator visualizes zones where smart money might be active . ⚙️ How It Works 1. Effort Accumulation (High Volume Down Bar): • When a candle closes lower than it opens (down bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential absorption of selling pressure (effort to push down met by buying). • These candles are colored red and the open level is plotted, acting as a potential support or re-test zone. 2. Effort Distribution (High Volume Up Bar): • When a candle closes higher than it opens (up bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential distribution (effort to push up absorbed by sellers). • These candles are colored green and the open level is plotted , acting as a potential resistance or rejection zone. 3. Average Volume Calculation: • The script calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined lookback period. • If current volume exceeds the average multiplied by a set threshold, it’s treated as a high-effort bar . 🧪 Inputs Input Description Average Volume Lookback - Number of bars used to calculate the volume average High Volume Multiplier. - Multiplier to define what qualifies as “high volume” 🖥️ Visual Output • 🔴 Red candles = High volume on a down bar → possible accumulation • 🟢 Green candles = High volume on an up bar → possible distribution • 📉 Horizontal lines at bar open price mark the potential zones where effort occurred These zones can serve as: • Areas of support/resistance • Trap zones where smart money absorbs liquidity • Entry/exit filters when combined with price action 🧠 How to Use • Use in combination with price structure, support/resistance, and volume profile tools • Watch how price reacts when it revisits the plotted lines • Look for effort bars that fail to lead to continuation, signaling potential reversal • Can be used in scalping, swing trading, or Wyckoff-style phase analysis 🔒 Technical Notes • ✅ Does not repaint • ✅ Built with Pine Script v6 • ✅ Lightweight and customizable • ❌ Does not generate buy/sell signals — it provides context, not predictions

Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap [LuxAlgo]The Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap indicator highlights volume and liquidity clearly and precisely with its volume bubbles and liquidity heat map, allowing to identify key price areas. Customize the bubbles with different time frames and different display modes: total volume, buy and sell volume, or delta volume. 🔶 USAGE The primary objective of this tool is to offer traders a straightforward method for analyzing volume on any selected timeframe. By default, the tool displays buy and sell volume bubbles for the daily timeframe over the last 2,000 bars. Traders should be aware of the difference between the timeframe of the chart and that of the bubbles. The tool also displays a liquidity heat map to help traders identify price areas where liquidity accumulates or is lacking. 🔹 Volume Bubbles The bubbles have three possible display modes: Total Volume: Displays the total volume of trades per bubble. Buy & Sell Volume: Each bubble is divided into buy and sell volume. Delta Volume: Displays the difference between buy and sell volume. Each bubble represents the trading volume for a given period. By default, the timeframe for each bubble is set to daily, meaning each bubble represents the trading volume for each day. The size of each bubble is proportional to the volume traded; a larger bubble indicates greater volume, while a smaller bubble indicates lower volume. The color of each bubble indicates the dominant volume: green for buy volume and red for sell volume. One of the tool's main goals is to facilitate simple, clear, multi-timeframe volume analysis. The previous chart shows Delta Volume bubbles with various chart and bubble timeframe configurations. To correctly visualize the bubbles, traders must ensure there is a sufficient number of bars per bubble. This is achieved by using a lower chart timeframe and a higher bubble timeframe. As can be seen in the image above, the greater the difference between the chart and bubble timeframes, the better the visualization. 🔹 Liquidity Heatmap The other main element of the tool is the liquidity heatmap. By default, it divides the chart into 25 different price areas and displays the accumulated trading volume on each. The image above shows a 4-hour BTC chart displaying only the liquidity heatmap. Traders should be aware of these key price areas and observe how the price behaves in them, looking for possible opportunities to engage with the market. The main parameters for controlling the heatmap on the settings panel are Rows and Cell Minimum Size. Rows modifies the number of horizontal price areas displayed, while Cell Minimum Size modifies the minimum size of each liquidity cell in each row. As can be seen in the above BTC hourly chart, the cell size is 24 at the top and 168 at the bottom. The cells are smaller on top and bigger on the bottom. The color of each cell reflects the liquidity size with a gradient; this reflects the total volume traded within each cell. The default colors are: Red: larger liquidity Yellow: medium liquidity Blue: lower liquidity 🔹 Using Both Tools Together This indicator provides the means to identify directional bias and market timing. The main idea is that if buyers are strong, prices are likely to increase, and if sellers are strong, prices are likely to decrease. This gives us a directional bias for opening long or short positions. Then, we combine our directional bias with price rejection or acceptance of key liquidity levels to determine the timing of opening or closing our positions. Now, let's review some charts. This first chart is BTC 1H with Delta Weekly Bubbles. Delta Bubbles measure the difference between buy and sell volume, so we can easily see which group is dominant (buyers or sellers) and how strong they are in any given week. This, along with the key price areas displayed by the Liquidity Heatmap, can help us navigate the markets. We divided market behavior into seven groups, and each group has several bubbles, numbered from 1 to 17. Bubbles 1, 2, and 3: After strong buyers market consolidates with positive delta, prices move up next week. Bubbles 3, 4, and 5: Strength changes from buyers to sellers. Next week, prices go down. Bubbles 6 and 7: The market trades at higher prices, but with negative delta. Next week, prices go down. Bubbles 7, 8, and 9: Strength changes from sellers to buyers. Next weeks (9 and 10), prices go up. Bubbles 10, 11, and 12: After strong buyers prices trade higher with a negative delta. Next weeks (12 and 13) prices go down. Bubbles 12, 14, and 15: Strength changes from sellers to buyers; next week, prices increase. Bubbles 15 and 16: The market trades higher with a very small positive delta; next week, prices go down. Current bubble/week 17 is not yet finished. Right now, it is trading lower, but with a smaller negative delta than last week. This may signal that sellers are losing strength and that a potential reversal will follow, with prices trading higher. This is the same BTC 1H chart, but with price rejections from key liquidity areas acting as strong price barriers. When prices reach a key area with strong liquidity and are rejected, it signals a good time to take action. By observing price behavior at certain key price levels, we can improve our timing for entering or exiting the markets. 🔶 DETAILS 🔹 Bubbles Display From the settings panel, traders can configure the bubbles with four main parameters: Mode, Timeframe, Size%, and Shape. The image above shows five-minute BTC charts with execution over the last 3,500 bars, different display modes, a daily timeframe, 100% size, and shape one. The Size % parameter controls the overall size of the bubbles, while the Shape parameter controls their vertical growth. Since the chart has two scales, one for time and one for price, traders can use the Shape parameter to make the bubbles round. The chart above shows the same bubbles with different size and shape parameters. You can also customize data labels and timeframe separators from the settings panel. 🔶 SETTINGS Execute on last X bars: Number of bars for indicator execution 🔹 Bubbles Display Bubbles: Enable/Disable volume bubbles. Bubble Mode: Select from the following options: total volume, buy and sell volume, or the delta between buy and sell volume. Bubble Timeframe: Select the timeframe for which the bubbles will be displayed. Bubble Size %: Select the size of the bubbles as a percentage. Bubble Shape: Select the shape of the bubbles. The larger the number, the more vertical the bubbles will be stretched. 🔹 Labels Display Labels: Enable/Disable data labels, select size and location. 🔹 Separators Display Separators: Enable/Disable timeframe separators and select color. 🔹 Liquidity Heatmap Display Heatmap: Enable/Disable liquidity heatmap. Heatmap Rows: select number of rows to be displayed. Cell Minimum Size: Select the minimum size for each cell in each row. Colors. 🔹 Style Buy & Sell Volume Colors.

Custom Buy/Sell Pattern BuilderAre you tired of using trading indicators that only let you follow fixed, pre-designed rules? Do you wish you could build your own “Buy” or “Sell” signals, experiment with your own ideas, or see instantly if your unique pattern works—without learning coding or hiring a developer? The Custom Buy/Sell Pattern Builder is designed for YOU. This TradingView indicator lets ANY trader—even a complete beginner—define exactly what kind of price and volume conditions should create a BUY or SELL label on any chart, in any market, at any timeframe. You don’t need to know programming. You don’t need to know the definition of a hammer, doji, volume spike, or Engulfing pattern. With a few clicks and easy dropdown choices, you can: Make your own rules for buying or selling Choose how many candles your pattern should look at Decide if you want the biggest body, the lowest volume, the biggest movement, or any combination you can imagine The result? You’ll see clear “BUY” or “SELL” labels automatically show up on your chart whenever the exact rule YOU built matches current price action. No more guessing. No more forced strategies. Just pure control and visual feedback! Why Is This Powerful? Traditional indicators (like MACD, RSI, or even classic candlestick scanners) work the same for everyone—and only as their inventors defined. But every trader, and every market, is unique. What if you could say: “Show me a ‘SELL’ every time the newest candle is bigger than the one before, but with LESS volume, while the bar before that had an even smaller body—but more volume than all others?” With this tool, it’s EASY! You simply pick which candle you want to compare (most recent, previous, etc), what to compare (body or volume—body means the candle’s “thickness”, from open to close), choose “greater than”, “less than”, or “equal to”, and set a multiplier if you want (like “half as much”, “twice as big”, etc). After this, if any bar on the chart fits all your rules, it will mark it as a BUY or SELL, depending on your selection. This means— Beginners can start experimenting with their intuition or small ideas, without tech hurdles Experienced traders can visualize and fine-tune any possible logic, before they commit to backtesting or automating a real strategy Every “what if” or “I wonder” setup is just 2–3 clicks away How Does It Work? Simple Steps 1. Choose Your Signal Type “Buy” or “Sell” This tells the indicator whether to mark the qualifying bars with a green “BUY” or red “SELL” label 2. Pick How Many Candles To Use “Pattern Candle Count” input (2, 3, or 4) Example: If you use 4, the pattern will be applied to the most recent 4 candles at every step 3. Define Your Pattern With Inputs For each candle (from newest “0” to oldest “3”), you can set: Body Condition (example: “is this candle’s body bigger/smaller/equal to another?”) Pick which candle to compare against Pick “>”, “<”, “>=”, “<=”, or “=” Set a multiplier if needed (like “0.5” to mean “half as big as” or “2” for “twice as big as”) Volume Condition (exact same choices, but based on trading volume—not the candle’s price body) For example: “Candle0 Body > Candle2 Body” means “the latest candle’s real-body (open–close) is bigger than the one two bars ago.” “Candle1 Volume <= Candle2 Volume” means “the previous candle’s volume is less than or equal to the volume of the bar two periods ago.” You can leave a comparison blank if you don’t want to use it for a particular candle. What Happens After You Set Your Rules? Every bar on your chart is checked for your logic: If ALL body AND volume conditions are true (for each candle you specified), AND The signal side (“Buy” or “Sell”) matches your dropdown, Then a green “BUY” or red “SELL” label will show right on the bar, so you can visually spot exactly where your logic works! Practical Example: Suppose you want an entry setup that is: “Sell whenever the newest candle’s body is bigger than two bars ago, body before that is bigger than three bars ago, AND the newest candle’s volume is less than or equal to two bars ago, AND the candle three bars ago’s volume is less than or equal to half the candle two bars ago’s volume.” You’d set: Pattern Candle Count: 4 Side: Sell Candle0 Body Ref#: 2, Op: >, Mult: 1 Candle1 Body Ref#: 3, Op: >, Mult: 1 Candle0 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: <=, Mult: 1 Candle3 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: <=, Mult: 0.5 And the script will find all “SELL” bars on your chart matching these conditions. Inputs Section: What Does Each Setting Do? Let’s break down each input in the indicator’s Settings one by one, so even if you’re new, you’ll understand exactly how to use it! 1. Pattern Candle Count (2–4) What is it? This sets how many candles in a row you want your rule to look at. Example: “4” means your rules are based on the most recent candle and the 3 before it. “2” means you are only comparing the current and previous candles. Tip: Beginners often use 4 to spot stronger patterns, but you can experiment! 2. Signal Side What is it? Choose “Buy” or “Sell”. The word you pick here decides which colored label (green for Buy, red for Sell) appears if your pattern matches. Example: Want to spot where “Sell” is likely? Pick “Sell”. Change to “Buy” if you want bullish signals instead. 3. Body & Volume Comparison Settings (per Candle) For each candle (#0 is newest/current, #3 is oldest in your pattern window): Body Comparison Candle# Body Ref# Choose which other candle you want to compare this one’s body to. “0” = newest, “1” = previous, “2” = two bars ago, “3” = three bars ago Candle# Body Op (Operator; >, <, >=, <=, =) How do you want to compare? “>” means “greater than” (is bigger than) “<” means “less than” (is smaller than) “=” means “equal to” Candle# Body Mult (Multiplier) If you want relative comparisons. For example, with Mult=1: “Candle0 body > Candle2 body x 1” means just “0 is larger than 2.” “Candle0 body > Candle2 body x 2” means “0 is more than double 2.” Volume Comparison Candle# Vol Ref# / Op / Mult Exact same logic as body, but works on the “Volume” of each candle (how much was traded during that bar). How to Set Up a Rule (Step by Step Example) Say you want to mark a Sell every time: The most recent candle’s real body is BIGGER than the candle 2 bars ago; The previous candle’s body is also BIGGER than the candle 3 bars ago; The current candle’s volume is LESS than or equal to the volume of candle 2; The previous candle’s volume is LESS than or equal to candle 2’s volume; The candle 3 bars ago’s volume is LESS than or equal to HALF candle 2’s volume. You’d set: Pattern Candle Count: 4 Side: "Sell" Candle0 Body Ref#: 2, Op: “>”, Mult: 1 Candle1 Body Ref#: 3, Op: “>”, Mult: 1 Candle0 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: “<=”, Mult: 1 Candle1 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: “<=”, Mult: 1 Candle3 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: “<=”, Mult: 0.5 All other comparisons (operators) can be left blank if you don’t want to use them! When these rules are met, a bright red “SELL” label will appear right above the bar matching all your conditions. Practical Tips & FAQ for Beginners What does “body” mean? It’s the “true range” of the candle: the difference between open and close. This ignores wicks for simple setups. What does “volume” mean? This is the total trading activity during that candle/bar. Many traders believe that patterns with different volume “meaning” (such as low-volume up bars, or high-volume down bars) signal a meaningful change. What if nothing shows on chart? It just means your current rules are rarely or never matched! Try making your comparisons simpler (maybe just 2-body and 2-volume conditions to start). You can always hit “Reset Settings” to go back to default. Can I use this for both buying and selling? YES! You can detect both bullish (Buy) and bearish (Sell) custom conditions; just switch “Signal Side.” Do I need to know coding? Not at all! Everything is in simple input panels. Creative Use Cases, Example Recipes & Troubleshooting Creative Ways to Use Spotting Reversals Example: Buy when: the newest candle body is LARGER than the previous 3 bars, but ALL volumes are lower than their neighbors. Why? Sometimes, a big candle with surprisingly low volume after a sequence of small bars can signal a reversal. Finding Exhaustion Moves Example: Sell when: the current bar body is twice as big as two bars ago, but volume is half. Why? A very big candle with very little volume compared to similar bars may show the move is “running out of steam.” Custom “Breakout + Confirmation” Patterns Example: Buy when: Candle 0’s body is greater than Candle 2’s by at least 1.5x, Candle 0’s volume is greater than Candle 1 and Candle 2, Candle 1’s volume is less than Candle 0. Why? This could catch strong breakouts but filter out noisy moves. Multi-bar Bias/Squeeze Filter Use “Pattern Candle Count: 4” Set all 4 volume conditions to “<” and each reference to the previous candle. Now, a BUY or SELL only marks when each bar is “dryer”/less active than the last — a classic squeeze or low-volatility buildup. Troubleshooting Guide “I don’t see any Buy/Sell label; is something broken?” Most likely, your rules are too strict or rare! Try using only two comparisons and leave other “Op” inputs blank as a test. Double-check you have enough candles on the chart: you need at least as many bars as your pattern count. “Why does a label appear but not where I expect?” Remember, the script checks your rules for every NEW candle. The candle “0” is always the most recent, then “1” is one bar back, etc. Check the color and type chosen: “Signal Side” must be “Buy” for green, “Sell” for red. “What if I want a more complex pattern?” Stack conditions! You can demand the body/volume of each candle in your window meet a different rule or all follow the same rule in sequence. Mini Glossary — For Newcomers Candle/Bar: Each bar on the chart, shows price movement during a fixed time (e.g., one minute, one hour, one day). Body: The colored (or filled) part of the candle — the open-to-close price range. Volume: How much of the asset was actually traded that candle/bar. Reference Index: When you pick “2” as a reference, it means “the candle two bars ago in the pattern window.” Operator (“Op”): The math symbol used to compare (>, <, =, etc). Signal Side: Whether you want to highlight bullish (“Buy”) or bearish (“Sell”) bars. Tips for Getting More Value Start Simple—try just one or two conditions at first. See what lights up. Slowly add more logic as you get comfortable. Watch the chart live as you change settings. The labels update instantly—this makes strategy design fast and visual! Try flipping your ideas: If a certain pattern doesn’t work for buys, try reversing the direction for possible “sell” setups. Remember: There is NO wrong idea. This indicator is only limited by your creativity—it’s a “strategy playground.” Example Quick-Start Recipes Classic Sell: 4 candles, side = Sell Candle0 Body > Candle2; Candle1 Body > Candle3 Candle0 Vol <= Candle2; Candle1 Vol <= Candle2; Candle3 Vol <= Candle2 × 0.5 Simple Buy After Pause: 3 candles, side = Buy Candle0 Body > Candle1; Candle0 Vol > Candle1 All other Ops blank Low-Volume Pullback for Entry: 4 candles, side = Buy Candle0 Body > Candle2 Candle0 Vol < Candle1; Candle1 Vol < Candle2; Candle2 Vol < Candle3 Final Words Think of this as your “pattern lab.” No code, no guesswork—just experiment, see what the market actually gives, and design your own visual rulebook. If you’re stuck, reset the script to defaults—it’s always safe to start again! If you want more ready-made “recipes” for different strategies/styles, just ask and I’ll send some more setups for you. Happy building—and may your edge always be YOUR edge!

ATAI Triangles — Volume-Based & Price Pattern Analysis (v1.01)ATAI Triangles — Volume-Based & Price Pattern Analysis (v1.01) Overview ATAI Triangles identifies two synchronized triangle structures — Hi-Lo-Hi (HLH) and Lo-Hi-Lo (LHL) — and analyzes them both geometrically and volumetrically. For each triangle, volume is split between its two legs (segments), providing interpretable insights into buyer vs seller activity along each path. The idea is that certain geometric shapes, when paired with volume distribution on each leg, can reveal patterns worth exploring. Users are encouraged to share their observations and interpretations in the TradingView comments section so that more aspects of these triangle combinations can be discovered collectively. Extra (for fun) For a bit of entertainment, we’ve included a symbolic “hexagram” glyph that appears when both triangle types align in a particular way — it’s just a visual nod to geometry and has no predictive or trading value. Interface & data clarity - Inputs and parameters are organized by function (pattern geometry, volume analysis, visuals, HUD, labels). - Each input includes tooltips explaining its purpose, units, and possible effects on calculations. - All on-chart objects (polylines, labels, connectors) are named and colored to reflect their role, with volume values formatted in engineering notation (K, M, B). - HUD columns and label texts use concise terms and consistent units, so that every displayed value is directly traceable to a calculation in the code. - Daily and lower-timeframe volume series are clearly separated, with update logic documented to indicate intrabar provisional values vs finalized bar-close values. Usage notes Designed to be used alongside other indicators and chart tools for context; it is not a standalone signal generator. All Buy/Sell volumes are absolute (non-negative); Δ = Buy − Sell. Intrabar values update live and finalize at bar close (no repaint after close). Disclaimer For research, discussion, and educational purposes only. This is not financial advice and does not guarantee any outcome. Trade at your own risk.

JHW Volume Based Buy and Sell MomentumThe JHW Volume-Based Buy and Sell Momentum indicator is a custom momentum oscillator designed to capture market sentiment based on volume dynamics and price rate of change (ROC). It aims to identify bullish or bearish momentum by analyzing how price reacts to increasing or decreasing trading volume. Core Logic: The indicator calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) of the closing price. It then accumulates this ROC separately based on whether the current volume is lower or higher than the previous bar: If volume decreases, the ROC is added to a "negative volume index" accumulator. If volume increases, the ROC is added to a "positive volume index" accumulator. These two accumulators are combined to form a net momentum line. Smoothing: A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to both accumulators over a user-defined period (default: 25 bars). The sum of these smoothed values forms the signal line. Visualization: The indicator plots: The net momentum line (yellow). The smoothed signal line (blue). The area between the two lines is filled with color: Yellow when momentum is above the signal (bullish). Blue when momentum is below the signal (bearish). Bar colors are also adjusted to reflect the current momentum state. Use Case: This indicator helps traders: Detect volume-driven momentum shifts. Identify potential buy or sell zones based on volume behavior. Confirm trends or spot early reversals.

Exchanges Combined Volume📊 Exchanges Combined Volume (Aggregated Multi-Exchange Volume: Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.) by BIGTAKER* 🔍 Purpose The Exchanges Combined Volume indicator aggregates real-time trading volumes from multiple global exchanges for a specific asset (e.g., a cryptocurrency). Instead of relying on a single market, it provides a broader view of market activity, helping users detect abnormal volume behavior and increased participation across the entire market. ⚙️ Supported Exchanges * USDT Markets `Binance`, `OKX`, `Bybit`, `Bitget`, `Gate.io` * USD Markets `Coinbase`, `Bitfinex`, `Bitstamp` * Default Includes the current chart symbol’s native volume by default. 🧮 Core Calculation Logic 1. 📛 Symbol Normalization (cleanSymbol) Prefixes such as `1000`, `10000`, `100000`, or `1M` (common in leveraged tickers) are automatically removed to extract the base token. > Example: > `1000PEPEUSDT` → `PEPEUSDT` 2. 📈 Volume Requests from External Exchanges Volume is retrieved using the `` format (e.g., `'BINANCE:PEPEUSDT'`, `'COINBASE:BTCUSD'`). Invalid or delisted pairs are safely ignored using `ignore_invalid_symbol=true`. 3. 📊 Total Volume Calculation totalVolume = usdtVolume + usdVolume + currentSymbolVolume The indicator sums the volume from all target exchanges plus the volume from the current chart symbol. 4. 📏 Comparison to Average Volume * Period: `length = 60` (Simple Moving Average over 60 candles) * A candle is considered **high-intensity** if: 5. 🎨 Visual Styling | Condition | Color | Meaning | | -------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------- | | High-volume Bullish Candle | Light Green (#30db78) | Strong Buying Activity | | High-volume Bearish Candle | Bright Red (#ff0000) | Strong Selling Activity | | Normal Bullish Candle | Dark Green (#3c7058) | Regular Buying Volume | | Normal Bearish Candle | Dark Red (#682e2c) | Regular Selling Volume | 📌 Use Cases * Detect synchronized volume surges across major global exchanges. * Identify pre-pump accumulation phases on altcoins. * Combine with premium gap indicators (e.g., Kimchi Premium) to identify leading market sentiment. * Confirm breakout momentum with multi-exchange volume validation. 📘 Notes & Warnings * Listing differences across exchanges may result in **zero volume** on some platforms. * Prefixes like `1000`, `1M`, etc., are automatically removed to **improve symbol matching accuracy**. * As volume units are not standardized, this indicator is best suited for **absolute value analysis**, not ratio-based comparisons.

BuySell Volume Bar Chart• Separates estimated Buy and Sell volume per bar using price action logic • Plots them in a dual-axis format: buy volume goes up, sell volume goes down • Colors are dynamic — whichever side dominates gets the stronger color, the weaker side is shaded • Includes a live difference metric (Δ Volume) as a third value in the indicator title • Automatically filters out flat/no-move bars to avoid misleading spikes The live difference metric ("Δ Volume") can be controlled. This metric calculates the difference between the buying and selling volume live, where it takes the Buy Volume - Sell Volume. This difference is then displayed in either green (BV > SV) or red (SV > BV). You can toggle it on/off by entering the indicator's settings or double tapping the indicator name on the TV chart. Another pretty cool thing is the modular colors - you can customize your candle colors and shades to your liking within the code!

Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW A smart volume-powered tool for identifying key support and resistance zones—enhanced with real-time volume histogram fills and high-volume markers. Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels detects structural levels from swing highs and lows, and wraps them in dynamic histograms that reflect the relative volume strength around those zones. It highlights the strongest price levels not just by structure—but by the weight of market participation. 🔵 CONCEPTS Price Zones: Support and resistance levels are drawn from recent price pivots, while volume is used to visually enhance these zones with filled histograms and highlight moments of peak activity using markers. Histogram Fill = Activity Zone: The width and intensity of each filled zone adjusts to recent volume bursts. High-Volume Alerts: Circle markers highlight moments of volume dominance directly on the levels—revealing pressure points of support/resistance. Clean Visual Encoding: Red = resistance zones, green = support zones, orange = high-volume bars. 🔵 FEATURES Detects pivot-based resistance (highs) and support (lows) using a customizable range length. Wraps these levels in volume-weighted bands that expand/contract based on percentile volume. Color fill intensity increases with rising volume pressure, creating a live histogram feel. When volume > user-defined threshold , the indicator adds circle markers at the top and bottom of that price level zone. Bar coloring highlights the candles that generated this high-volume behavior (orange by default). Adjustable settings for all thresholds and colors, so traders can dial in volume sensitivity. 🔵 HOW TO USE Identify volume-confirmed resistance and support zones for potential reversal or breakout setups. Focus on levels with intense histogram fill and circle markers —they indicate strong participation. Use bar coloring to track when key activity started and align it with broader market context. Works well in combination with order blocks, trend indicators, or liquidity zones. Ideal for day traders, scalpers, and volume-sensitive setups. 🔵 CONCLUSION Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels elevates traditional support and resistance logic by anchoring it in volume context. Instead of relying solely on price action, it gives traders insight into where real conviction lies—by mapping how aggressively the market defended or rejected key levels. It's a visual, reactive, and volume-conscious upgrade to your structural toolkit.
